[marble cosmos]

There is one every Wednesday

[vagrant topaz]

In December comes a shop for the whole 5 year tokens. So wait and see what's pretty. Maybe Hugh will be there. And of course you can compete with others in the SLBs. As an F2P, you usually collect resources for months and then spend them on an important officer. Maybe you just spent it on the wrong officer 🤷🏼‍♂️ I know some F2P players who have Hugh. Some even already on T3👀

[molten marlin]

There is no shop for the tokens, they're for entries in the contest, nothing more. December is the end of arc store.

[vagrant topaz]

Then I had misunderstood. But maybe there will be something pretty in the events. Hopefully NO avatars 🤢

[fluid gust]

i hope that's not all of it, otherwise we've been working hard to earn them for nothing because many of us are not in one of the 6 countries allowed to win the prizes.

[thorn estuary]

The heros and villains event what horrible. If you pick the wrong side based on what officers you need you don't get them. Especially if more people pick one side over the other. That is really unfair. If you complete the event you should get the award. Don't do this kind 9f event again.

[lost swan]

Except… if too many chose the other side you didn’t finish it, so why would you get the rewards exactly?

[thorn estuary]

The point is that you did the event you should get rewards.

Both sides can finish tho. Basing an SMS even off who can finish the event right after the rest is not right. I can see a leaderboard working that way. A SMS should be able to be completed anytime during the event.

[lost swan]

It was not an sms. You got rewards for all the sms events. As well as for the meta sms. You may not like this style event, but it happens often enough that an IMS (which is what this was) isn’t finished by the server. It was hardly unfair. They could have communicated more explicitly about the ‘race: win or nothing’ element for these very few officer shards (though that info was out there via content creators).

[tribal maple]

A three day grinding SLB is just tedious as hell. One or two days is more than enough.

[thorn estuary]

It was still a milestone event based on completion of SMSs so my point still stands that an SMS should be able to be completed any time with in the SMS event. A better way of doing this would to make the sides equal so everyone has a chance to be first to finish. Having significantly more people on one side that the other giving one side an unfair advantage. In my case I picked the villain side as I needed those officers not knowing the I had already lost the second I chose the villain side. The heros side finished long before villains side probably because more people needed the battleship strike crew.

[warm cave]

Today is Thanksgiving. A holiday where everyone is to be grateful for each other. I. That spirit, it is incredibly poor form to release a Thanksgiving ticketed event and to place a spend ticket SMS that can only be completed with the wallet. Really bad holiday to do this type of event. Strait SLBs or just fun easy to obtain cosmetics would have been a better answer than this. A holiday that you should give thanks not bleed dry

[granite nymph]

It’s is really par for the course that scopley’s idea of a holiday gift/event is giving us another chance to give them money for nothing.

[barren jacinth]

another event for skipping. thanks scopely, now i have more free time.

[deep halo]

Hi @wanton copper That events are horrible. We need mats and rss for progression, not that gambling on other stuff. In add poor move to paywalling that on ticket event, meh. 5th anniversary? No gifts like every year, less rss and mats than usual, and tons of bugs. Cube was intended as gift? Only a long grinding for get back not really amazing researches. This months get a vote : -10. Next month will be another blocked month for progression because of event store. If the plan is have soon 4 serverss with only whales, scopely is on the the right way

[subtle scarab]

How are we supposed to do this without solo armada respawn rate of normal armadas is way to long

[stiff sleet]

How about the fact that they just threw it into the mix without any communication. Would have been nice to know yesterday...

[lucid idol]

9375 epic directives for the heroic, with terrible rewards at the lower bounds 😂 Scopely, you should try your hand at stand up

[gusty spruce]

It's trash that I can't run solo armadas for this, I have been saving my directives for these heroic events, I could use them for the last two but not this one? What's up with that?

[pulsar obsidian]

Why would you extend the borg distinctiveness slb another 24hrs!!!???? The timer showed it ending at event reset.

[stiff sleet]

Same thing happened to me yesterday

[molten marlin]

No it didn't, it wasn't extended, you were looking at the timer for the other event.

[pulsar obsidian]

No, no i wasn’t. If I had an SS I would prove it. The events that were in the borg tab had the same timer. I was checking it every couple minutes because i was hitting hostiles with my cube till the last second.

[molten marlin]

You're mistaken, the timers were not the same

[slender narwhal]

The new owners of scopely is worse then the old ones. The new ones just want money with every arc is a new thing to buy but don’t buy a server that will work or get the server they are hiring to upgrade it

[pulsar obsidian]

🤣 whatever you say man. I know what I saw and i am not the only one on my server mad about it right now. Maybe scopely hasnt messed your server up as bad as they have ours. 😂

[spring umbra]

Respawn rate on exchange armadas is garbage

[odd dock]

💳

[magic delta]

sucks that i get one banquet ticket for free and have to buy the second one.

will i have to pay for both tomorrow?🤔

[fossil plank]

probably mate.

for 4+ years i've been on every day, nearly every event completed (within reason), but have put on my very 1st, 2nd and 3rd 7 day shields in the past bunch of weeks. they were always in with a shout of crossing the line but their foot is firmly planted on the line with this p2p BS. almost out.

[hollow vector]

FYI missing the proper info here

[molten marlin]

The info text has been broken for everything since the arc started

[sterile wharf]

We have temporarily moved our Odds Info on the i button outside of the chests. Please restart your game 🖖

[sterile wharf]

Every day there will be a free ticket in the Gifts tab 😁

[median tapir]

Do every types of armadas work for the event? Banks and cardies?

[tight elbow]

Speaking of info buttons: inside these chests there are info buttons but they don't work. I am looking for a reason to tier up my voyager. Right now I keep it at t5 because the grind doubles at t6, and I can't find a good reason to move to t6.

If the info buttons inside these chests worked I could maybe compare to people that had higher tiers to make a judgment. In lieu of that, are you able to tell me if voyager tier increases the odds of pulling the epic artifacts in the rare chest. What does teiring the voyager do to the artifact pulls, if anything, in these chests?

Thank you

[radiant solstice]

What were the odds of Scopely not showing the odds of ALL the rewards in the store??

[magic delta]

ah ok ty

[faint torrent]

ops 43, neelix hostile hunt event scoring = 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎 Just awful.

[broken crystal]

me and several ally mates also had the impression it was supposed to end. annoying

[fluid gust]

if you're hunting elite hirogen, try switching to regular ones and PMC as crew.
much easier to score that way.

[broken crystal]

can anyone tell me how to get the monaveen without credit card?

[gilded wyvern]

There are 3 3*Territories where you can get Mona bp for emulsion.

[broken crystal]

oh on the territories. thx

[odd dock]

just another case of fraud, move along 😂

[molten marlin]

click the info on the bucket itself

[green mica]

Why’d you make this heavy hitter twice as long as the rest…

[molten marlin]

same length as the last one when they extended the timer on it

[green mica]

No. Last three were one day. I know because I won them.

[faint torrent]

Oh I did that. Using 4 ships. It's still bad. It still took too long hitting lvl44-46 hostiles. Imagine if I only had Voyager to use. BLEGH!

[fluid gust]

i only had to do a few lost explorers 5-6 levels above me, which with PMC is very easy.

[faint torrent]

idk what level you are, but for mine it wasn't "very easy" as it took a long time. Especially with DQ hirogen. It shouldn't have taken so long. DQ shouldn't take so long either. it either needs reduced, or an extra bonus for DQ hirogen.

[novel totem]

The arc-event-store is next month. so calm down.

[charred hill]

BP event (Lost or Hirogen hostiles) needs to be adjusted if it’s going to be a regular thing. You did it for other new bp events, like Away teams, so don’t slack off here! Get better!

[fluid gust]

you shouldn't be going for the voyager hirogen for this one, go for the lost.
you can get the event over with in 5 minutes.

[uneven jolt]

Heroic Armada event: like that you put in a Heroic Group Armada event. Hope you can put in a Heroic Solo armada event next time. Or run 1 Group & 1 Solo so we can choose what we would like to do.

[faint torrent]

Either you're talking about a different event, or you're not getting it. I am not talking about the BP event. I'm talking about the Neelix event.

I will say again: I switched which hostiles I was hitting. It still took an hour to get through the third and fourth Tier. It shouldn't take that long. And I shouldn't have to change from DQ hirogen to the others to get better scoring.

IF you are also referring to the Neelix one, then you must have had different scoring, because mine took way too long to finish.

[cedar lily]

The nelix event was standard hostiles.

[faint torrent]

The one yesterday was not. It was lost/hirogen hostiles.

[cedar lily]

Ahh yup I did that one the long way on the hirogen for the heavy hitter points. Took a long time

[deep halo]

Another day withouth mats and rss as rewards. Meh

[small narwhal]

What was the top milestone? It’s listed on stfc.space as 220k for ops 43 but I don’t know if that’s accurate. If it is, it’s only about 10 lvl 46 lost which should be easy at ops 43.

[faint torrent]

220.5k was top milestone. You can't reach past level 40 DQ hostiles without the required research, which I don't have R&D43 to do that yet. Once I went far enough to hit the 44-46 lost hostiles, it went much faster. Point is, the scoring was terrible below that, especially for DQ hostiles. It needed extra/bonus points for those like there is for using Voyager.

[small narwhal]

I do agree there needs to be a pretty large bonus for hirogen given how much tougher they are than the lost, but given their current scoring, the way to do this event has always been to just go for lost hostiles.

[woven grove]

Are we talking about DQ Hirogen in Voyager space? Or Hirogen that are in the same systems as Lost hostiles? (Difference being one is marked with [DQ] tag, and one is not meaning they are way harder to kill since Voyager does not gain dmg boost against them). The reason why I ask, is because lvl60 [DQ] Hirogen give like ~2tril points per kill (if crewed for crits), and lvl60 Lost hostiles are only giving me about 1tril points. Just seems that Voyager would be the way to go, but I'm still doing testing to know for certain with is better.

[small narwhal]

Not heavy hitter, we talking about hostile hunt type sms for lost/hirogen hostiles

[woven grove]

Ohhhh, for the sms. I misunderstood. My mistake. 🤐
Yeah, Lost would be easier to kill due to them being weaker in general, but I can see why it would take g4/early g5 players so long without an upgraded Voyager.

[pulsar obsidian]

Absolutely horrible pulls on the Thanksgiving event store officer chest. Max pull, 5 chests get you this….

[fluid gust]

leola root stew, right?
fygi, warp 240, 1 lvl50 kill gives 226k on that event. can be survived with voyager using PMC.
padilac, warp 150, 2 lvl49 kills at 128k each.
stambo, warp 120, 10 lvl46 kills at 23k each.

for padilac and stambo i could use my monaveen too, but voyager with PMC should be more than enough as long as you go for the weaker lost explorers.

[faint torrent]

I don't... I just... I can't be any more clear about this as I have said the same thing repeatedly. You aren't reading what I've been typing. You're not helping.

[warm cave]

@sterile wharf @earnest harness @solemn turtle What are the odds a dev can explain the decision process that goes into the rewards this arc and for the SLBs? I ask as an ops 39. The SLB upgrade cube credit rewards for taking 3rd place or lower are less than a critical success on away teams. The heavy hitter SLB has nothing ops 40 and above dont get from their regular pulls from refinery. The ticketed events dont have character shards in int and instead were removed to be their only seperate sms that rewards a rare ticket, but the rare ticket is for officers that are easily sourced on the daily from patterns and the like. If we give suggestions where would you most likely read them. For events like the rare ticket even in the future is possible to have a discord channel poll that has a pool of 15-20 officers nad the top 3 votes are the ticket reward? How do we genuinely get your attention the right way with respect. And is it possible to have more communication on how these rewards are decided or created?

[feral finch]

Why YOU are complaining? 🤣🤣

[sinful heart]

The odds they will explain? ZERO. Scopy knows what they are doing. They are deceitful and miserly. They have no concept of keeping or making the game fun and rewarding. Their ONLY goal is to generate a sense of FOMO in people to milk them for all they are worth. Play the game as a toilet game, and burn up their resources, but quit giving them money. Quit giving them effort. Because they are worse than a gaslighting partner at this point.

[left marlin]

You know Scopely, it’s not just the major screw ups and bad design features (ie: Cutting Beam whale tax), that drive down player sentiment. It’s also the smaller things that cause unnecessary aggravation for us. Perfect example is the Heroic Armada Event. Don’t even get me started on how bs it is that Solos don’t score in this Event. But to have these decimal places for milestones, when you can only score 3k or 5k at a time. Do you have any idea how truly annoying it can feel to be .08 points short of a milestone? Plz stop with the unnecessary player trolling, Scopely. Thx

[hollow lichen]

Why is g4 uncommon scoring down again, now to 60? Stop messing around and TELL people when you change something... 💩

[patent river]

Really would like to thank the arc runner for the new series of events this month. The ones adding building mats were particularly nice. Lots of competitive events with heavy hitter were also nice.

[swift quarry]

Someone explain the math. Because I know for a fact I didn't miss a day.

[pulsar obsidian]

🤣 Those are just single chest pulls, but yeah, those are horrible. The other chests are just as bad. A teammate of mine posted what he got from the parts chest and it was complete 💩.

[zenith ravine]

mines the same and i have not missed a day either

[small narwhal]

They didn’t change it this time, they changed it last weekend (from 30 1st week to 60)

[languid ice]

Solo armadas are not scoring

[hollow lichen]

Didn't g4 uncommon go up to 70 last week?

[small narwhal]

No.

[muted summit]

Having op51+ in the same SLB as op61+ is ridiculous... 100 points for uncom g5, 1500 points for uncom g6. Add more ops brackets or reduce the points difference please Scopley

[swift quarry]

Guess we'll just have to wait and see

[small narwhal]

That score looks correct if you haven’t missed anything, what’s the issue?

[swift quarry]

I guess no issue just looks extremely weird.

[zenith ravine]

i agree, 20k points should have cleared todays, the next will be around 17k so no chance of finishing

[tacit patio]

Unless they throw us a 17.5 or another 20

[zenith ravine]

i think it would have to be both though i maybe wrong, maths are not great even worse with beer 🤣

[tacit patio]

Lol. 17.5 will clear it for sure

[vagrant topaz]

Heroic BP Overflow seems broken

[mild glacier]

2 ticketed events that are less than half completable. One of which was a holiday event. Either someone is totally botching events this arc, or you just don’t want us to play anymore because you’re not giving us anything to do.

[turbid cloak]

@wanton copper @icy cairn please please please sort out the level brackets for the slbs for 50+. As a level 53 I have no chance of competeing against 56+ let alone 60+. So the current mats spend event even if I choose to spend would not be able to place at given the fact that the higher levels can spend G6 mats and in the ship slb G6 uc and rare parts which score so much more. We have enough 60+ players that they could have events placing for top 3 or 5. At the moment feels pointless to even try to compete....

[sinful heart]

It IS pointless. It’s not that it feels pointless. Honestly scopy has done so much jinky and duplicitous and miserly crap this arc that it has actually driven my play time even less. Heck I stopped doing solo’s 🤷‍♂️. And really don’t even care about the Bajoran and the Borg rewards. The rewards for an ops 54 don’t even give a drop in the bucket for what you need to advance. They want you to pay to advance once you get to g5. And at their price points, well screw that noise. Game is a toilet game till I get to my pc to play Fallout at this point.

[chrome oracle]

@wanton copper BP Overflow is not completable even doing all events (check #💫-event-information to see that if you don't trust me). I hope this is a mistake and not making the overflow pay-only now lol

[odd dock]

its such a huge problem, it was worth mentioing TWICE.

[short mirage]

I can send Massage in generell Feedback

[rough shuttle]

Hey not sure if you know it or not,but BP overflow os going to be short for everyone by 2.5k points. Any idea if it will be reticfied?

[halcyon kite]

Not everyone. At least one person in my alliance will have extra somehow.

[pure hearth]

2500 pts missing in the BP

[ocean drift]

well problem is we had one guy in our alliance already that bp overflow points didn t register too.

[tacit patio]

Incoming compensation chest?

[vagrant topaz]

That includes the broken treasury parts and more for missed events due to confusion of new tabs last arc. 😓

[lapis fractal]

Yeah im missing 2500 as well 😦

[honest gust]

Same here, looks like the math was wrong.

[deft veldt]

adding numbers is pretty hard...

[desert ibex]

missing 2500 points.

[sullen badger]

Ok @wanton copper @icy cairn @pastel hare @earnest harness @solemn turtle there are MULTIPLE players in my alliance that are missing the last 2500 points. And we all did not miss one day.

[past harness]

Missing 2.5 k points for overflow

[prisma temple]

BP was only 15K the other day

[polar isle]

Ok so i am Not Alone...

[sullen badger]

Nope, you are not alone.

[rapid quail]

@wanton copper @icy cairn Players across servers are 2500 pts from completion on this Battlepass oveflow. Timers run out at reset tomorrow with no way to complete. Please address Asap. Comp chest if coming should absolutely include the rods i worked for and got denied .

[jovial sparrow]

My patience is about to run out. Completed all battle pass events and now I'm missing 2500 points. This is a joke!

[burnt granite]

It's always so fun and frustrating to watch this channel. They don't care for it. 🤭

[dark topaz]

it would be funny but most of all it‘s so embarassing for scopley. every month it’s the same bp don’t know how it could happen that 2500 points are missing

[sullen badger]

Just got my points, they were "delayed"

[vagrant topaz]

Missing pts just added to my account (server 157), guess lag… overflow complete. Still horrible arc and underwhelming speciality ship, unless already G6 criteria met.

[burnt granite]

STFC non-official communication team (aka Rev) just announced the last milestone was fixed: #555025756829253632 message

[honest gust]

Got mine as well, looks like they fixed the issue, that was quick.

[astral mesa]

Problem exist on 106... 4.5k points missing

[fast pumice]

is the recruit ent e heroic event bugged? it doesnt seem to count when i spend unc g4 mats?

[steady plume]

I miss 6k points at BP and did not miss one event.

Now no miner can occupy a node... what is next bug?

Miners are working again ... but how can we finish events if a battle take 3 minutes?

[vagrant topaz]

Given up on the game tonight. Shield up, Starfield on Xbox bound

scopley, sorry to say.. but its TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK

[copper scroll]

Literally gave up trying to play

[lone shoal]

Scopley really is aTurd

[unique meadow]

This helped so much. Thanks!

[manic estuary]

So the "Surpreme Choice " is to buy tokens with cash instead of earning them for the "event store"???

[warm cave]

Correct. They did an slb one time for those coins. And ever since then they’ve used that to justify event store. Even though it is not an event

[digital imp]

I am so interested in the 20/20 hindsight Scopely uses in it's decisions to do merges. Is it for the good of the game, or, does someone pay them off? Just curious.

[magic delta]

an event requiring "Docking", and not just mining, is all the more reason to favour Protected Cargo over Max Cargo, imo. 🤔

[naive stirrup]

I missed two of the events in The Grand Buffet so I scored 700. It is not anywhere close to the 14000 required to complete the Blood Pie quest. Was some one drinking when this was set up?

[hasty wedge]

Have anyone got any forbitten tier up catalyst from the event store?

[quiet shale]

The blood pie is an Alliance milestone, still a lil difficult but doable atleast

[naive stirrup]

Thank you Itanimulli, really difficult in a small alliance.

[magic delta]

yeah, i get those more often than the protomatter

[edgy stream]

@earnest harness @solemn turtle @wanton copper .. great way to dismiss folks.. you lowered the points for folks to make it. But for ys that had more then just issues with the last scoring.. we were dismissed. Never even gave us the missing 2500 points, just said we'll if you did them all you finished, cause we lowered the points. Thst didn't help anyone but the last bracket. Further more, I did do them all the events and yet was 15k short. I got dismissed. Thx for the dismissal. We couldn't possibly be telling the truth.. smh.. better service st the drive thru.. only a 50/50 chance of getting hosed there.

[faint torrent]

I'm 13,500 points behind... after the rework. I discovered a discrepancy in total earned BP points between myself and another player when there were only 4 days left. It was only by about 2500 points. He was behind me by that much. Neither of us have missed a single BP event. After the fix was deployed, I ended with 13,500 points behind to finish the overflow, he's 6,000 points behind. Does how even sense make this?

[warm cave]

If you were behind by more than 2500 points. You absolutely missed an event just stop it’s post like this that make it that much harder to get actual things fixed.

[hasty sand]

I'm 4500 points short having completed everything, as are other people in my alliance. This is an actual thing that needs fixing. It's so widespread across servers too

[bronze holly]

I'm 20k behind on the dot. Did all bp events and made sure of it. I know this because I made time for it because I am 400 rods away from a treasury unlock and need them. It is worth mentioning that I did level 54 -> 55 at the end of the arc. Could that have changed my overflow amount to need more? Or what I would have accumulated throughout the arc? I can't imagine it would, but I don't know why everyone else here has such different values that they are missing by.

[hasty sand]

I don't know either. Some milestones can't have credited in addition to the initial overflow total being higher than the total number of points available.

[bronze holly]

I dunno, opened a ticket with support to go on record with screenshots. I worry that by they time they respond the event is long over and there is nothing left in their toolbox to help.

[faint torrent]

I'm sure I didn't. I've put in a ticket to find out. This month I was extra careful to finish each event.

[faint torrent]

I fully remember finishing a BP event those last 4 days and not getting overflow scoring. I didn't think anything of it at the time.

[left marlin]

<@&509691205798592532> Is there gonna be a third series of Rare Ticket Events today? It’s not on the Event Schedule, but we had the meta over the weekend to earn a third Rare Ticket. Need to know cuz one of the Events was unrestricted PvP and I want my Alliance to be ready just in case

[faint torrent]

It's live now. It's not in the ticketed events folder.

[left marlin]

That’s the meta for earning the Rare Ticket. I’m talking about the Events where you actually spend the Rare Ticket. The ones where you could earn shards of Tendi, or ST La’an, or a third Officer I can’t recall atm

[faint torrent]

Oh. You mean the store, not meta. That comes after the last day. My bad

[zenith ravine]

can't do either thanks to Scopely ops lock

[woven grove]

I share your pain on Voyager...

[zenith ravine]

it's a joke is what it is, can't do the cube either because of ship requirements, i'm skipping the rares so that is stuck as well now

[trim gazelle]

That's all I'm getting, I wanted proto matter.

[woven grove]

Someone (I think it may have even been a CM) said that you can technically skip over some ships (i.e. g4 uncommon, g5 rare) as long as you get the next rank after and tier those up. I completely skipped g4 epics, but I got the t1-t10 upgrades for having g5 rares.

[zenith ravine]

i need g4 rare for t7 cube, i have a 40m and growing Kelvin why would i build a g4 rare instead of jumping to g5 later, just my opinion

[woven grove]

Valid assessment. Not telling you how to play at all. Personally, I skip the g4 epics because they are absolute trash compared to g5 uncommon ships, and it takes about as long to go from 50 to 53 as it does 49 to 50. G4 rares filled in the gap with loot/rep boosts. To each their own, though.

[zenith ravine]

i'm ops49 now, soon to be 50, so yeah you get what i mean and vica versa, but the whole ops lock is still a joke 🤣

[dark horizon]

looks like the same useless rewards, the 6 extra shards from half a year ago, do not make these events RARE

[mint finch]

Yo Scopely… let’s get the pickle and cube added to CoW before 2025. Mmmmkay

[vale musk]

Was there a free ticket again today?

[dark horizon]

No, you only get the 4 free (3 if you dont claim them as soon as they are available). These are the rare ones you get if you do all 9 regular ticket events during the 3 day period. So you have to finish 9 events and then you get a ticker to run another regular event + 6 shards of useless officers but marketed as RARE for some reason.

[faint torrent]

For the ticket event rewards: I would rather the rewards be the same all arc. Otherwise it'll be FOMO for F2P for the current month. I don't want to see one set, get them with my tickets, then next week have different and way better options and wish I had saved, because then I will not be inclined to spend them.

[dusk barn]

Do you know if they will fix this? I've not completed BP Overflow, but I know I completed all BP dailies....

[faint torrent]

I hope so. I sent in my ticket yesterday evening and I didn't get a response from CS as of this morning. I will have to check again later today.

[dusk barn]

I'll raise a ticket. They cant ignore it if all affected raise one.

Done

[paper spire]

A few weeks ago they ended the refining event a day early with no warning and now they end the battlepass early so we can’t collect the last two reward levels. This is getting really annoying.

[faint torrent]

It ended on time. They messed up the scoring and "fixed" it by lowering the milestone requirements. Some were off by several thousand points. Put in a ticket about not having gotten the milestones. They can see if you did or didn't finish all BP events.

Things going wrong like this is why I put the suggestion in to make it so we the players can see all previous events (BP sms at the very least) so we know if we did or didn't actually finish them all.

[subtle oracle]

do we have incusions this weekend? or is is put of till after christmas? all so do not run seven events at once bad for servers unless you upgrade servers not going to work going foward

[novel mango]

The money to upgrade server has been redistributed to CEO pay.

[edgy stream]

If they don't just give you the automated response and take a second to look. Smh.. if not you have to put in a 2nd ticket and cross your fingers then next CS will

[faint torrent]

Yeah. I really wish CS was more reliable.

[edgy stream]

I usually have to put it a ticket 2 or 3 times to get someone that actually looks and fixes the issue.

[wanton anvil]

Arc gets a B-. Which is the highest grade for me this year. Officer abilities are good and initial sourcing (SMS and auction) are good. Cube graphics are good and $20 price point along with F2P path in Dec is commendable. Cube cutting beam is a disappointment. And the pvp/pve punch up tax is unacceptable. The cube grind is horrible tedious boring. Cube did not measure up to the hype. Missions were good as were the events like Neelix Thanksgiving, trashcan events and trivia. Calendar was good. QOL improvements were great too bad they were hidden behind the syndicate level. Launch , stability and end of arc were terrible as was the usual lag and crashes. The comp chest was good (thank you Eco).
I know TLDR
And Scopely does not read stuff from the common players… so I expect nothing will change.

[dusty plinth]

thanks for nothing

[stuck phoenix]

@dusty plinth lol. i got more useless shards but have leftover coins...because math is hard

[dusty plinth]

then good luck opening it 😅

[peak sparrow]

The game Design for the "Upgrade Voyager SBL" is very bad. I am ops 47 and already maxed my Voyager to Level 35. I can't go any further because the next upgrades can only be done with OPS 51. So, now, I can't do anything for the event and have a disadvantage for having a maxed Voyager... there should be added additional ressources for getting points... for example "kill hostiles with the Voyager"

[molten marlin]

It's not bad, it scores for parts, it scores for research, it scores for unlocking voyager. It scores for summong species 8472 and it scores for scanning for a base location. This slb has run many times.

[steel lake]

except the fact that if you arent ops locked with it, its because youve litterally already finished the entire research tree and maxed it out, because its been out so long anyone who actually does the bare minimum has finished it, leaving you with summons only and no way to compete in the slb at all against anyone who just happened to get to the ops level to unlock anything, might as well run a talios upgrade event next,

[dark pine]

Meh, not that bothered. Even if u got things to unlock the ops ranges used are ridiculous, even dumping a fairly decent amount barely gets you anywhere

[sinful heart]

Really? You say that a lot, “runs many times”. It has been MONTHS (like since the Voyager was launched) since they have ran an upgrade voyager event. Your level of gaslighting folks to customer blame is getting a bit much. How about a little solidarity with your fellow customers and quit white knighting for Scopy’s bad event/reward practices. @peak sparrow Yes, you got screwed. Everything about Scopy events are designed to screw us now. I am sorry you advanced into a brick wall. If it makes you feel any better, I have run into the rare explorer part hell of voyager and am now getting beat by folks who have access to research well above my ops. So without money, and no winning jack. 🤷‍♂️. My advice. Ignore scopy. Do your thing, if the event aligns with an sms or you get some extra, bonus, but try not to let scopy’s forced FOMO get a hold of you.

[molten marlin]

🤣

[odd dock]

its all about camping, didnt you know? The one thing scopely dont want you to do, is the only way you can participate in old metric events popping up like this voyager one ...

So dont complain scopely, you remind your customers every day: leveling up anything wastes event scoring opportunities further down the line.
Expect the number of campers (levels or ships or building progression) to rise as they grow out of their social pressure/zombie state. 😂

[sinful heart]

Yeah, and the “arc runner” who doesn’t like camping can stick it. Because you are absolutely correct, scopy has conditioned the player base to “hold”. They have set bars ridiculously high all in the effort to get us to pay. Which wouldn’t be so bad IF their price points were actually reasonable. But as they are stupid/ridiculous/absurd with their price points, folks have no choice but to delay gratification for the sake of possible future rewards. And when those rewards inevitably fall to levels of pathetic and miserly, you do nothing but disenchant your player base turning them toxic on it. Scopy has absolutely reaped what they have sown.

[unreal coral]

Server issue on 164, unable to move / recall ships. Restart doesn't help

[marble sierra]

g4 rare ship bonus.

[dark horizon]

I got about the same (3 chests, 6 rare shards), only that on 4th pull i did not get a "claim" window, so probably got skewered on it

[magic delta]

... and will devs make up their minds if event reset is at 1000 CST[USA] or 1100 CST[USA], please?

the inconsistency is giving me whiplash.

[marble sierra]

https://i.imgur.com/vaaVy5n.png where is the rest scopely

[vagrant topaz]

It's just the battlepass overflow/heroic

[odd dock]

Dont want to burst your bubble Scopely, but those 99.99 rep packs only represent 1000 hostile kills ...

what you think im going to do?
it isnt pay 99.99.

you want that 5YA pack to be worth something, you best re-evaluate the content inside.

[plush topaz]

don't forget the trivial amount of UC and miniscule amount of lat along with it...

[marble sierra]

farmed a bill of rep during the rep event.. i dont think im the intended target audience for these packs for the reputation ;p

[odd dock]

Would of made more sense if it included 50% or 100% of the factions best ship for ops level (at least sub ops60) then ppl would have an option to cut short some of the ship acquisition grind

[plush topaz]

rep grind isn't the tough grind, it's the credits. they also removed the faction credits from the 99 BP as well, seems all rewards have been lowered significantly.

[prime harness]

I had jury duty and it got in the way of me spending in the Thanksgiving event store.

[plush topaz]

send in a ticket, they will usually comp you whatever you could have picked up. Also wrong channel.

[wintry halo]

Anybody not finish the battlepass even though they did everyday of the battlepass

[hasty sand]

Yes along with other people in my alliance. CS has told us, effectively, that we're lying. it's disappointing because they must be able to see that we aren't.

[lyric quiver]

Incursions, lat rush and faction hunt all on Monday, really? It was bad enough last time you ran incursions on Monday, now you’re throwing in FH too?

[buoyant ember]

When will the Voyager systems be fixed...very frustrating to have an event to upgrade the ship and then to find out that some of the resources aren't counting correctly, like Spices 8472 and Hirogen credits......Shame

[sinful heart]

Eh, they are just trying to turn the screws on us. 🤷‍♂️

[strong crest]

yep, every chance they get it seems

[mint berry]

With the cube being able to one shot bases without any taken damage. Incursions are now utterly pointless.

[wet cosmos]

Can’t target bases

[mint berry]

In my rage I mispoke, the cube itself can one shot bases. But it also can snipe your ship the moment it comes out of warp.

[lone obsidian]

we need a way to export the alliance roster and the ALB results

[sinful heart]

Incursions have been pointless from their inception. With the metric for winning being raiding instead of actual PD. And honestly, the VIPs deserve it. They have had a heavy hand in ruining this game. So all the crap and boring stuff that comes along, I blame it squarely on those foolish enough to spend the fortunes they spend for craptastic game experiences. 🤷‍♂️

[simple jungle]

This should be G6 parts for 60plus! Offi slb.

[lucid idol]

this spend sms is a joke, 42m for the top milestone but same reduced scoring as before

[noble citrus]

I'm not the best at math but...this isn't 150%

[junior pond]

@wanton copper Another heroic event. Is this the only type of event you all plan to ever do now? I'm sure your dev test accounts all have 37,500 G3 uncommons just laying around that will get you to just half the total unlock shards here, but to be clear again, that's not obtainable or even spendable by players. This keeps getting talked about, but you all keep putting these in. Taking every G3 uncommon capable part I could install right now would not get me to the 10% mark.

[willow glen]

150.000+ uc3* or 100.000+ uc4* mats at ops lvl40. Even if one saved that much up on what shall that be spend?

[warm cave]

Dang

[vernal isle]

Spend moar, talk less.

[molten marlin]

oh i wish mine was that easy

[warm cave]

@wanton copper last SMS for spending was 617,000-ish why did you more than double the top milestone requirement?

[dark horizon]

@warm cave those are low MS. keep in mind that the scoring is for me the same as is for you

[vagrant topaz]

That event ain't showing my progress.....

[woven grove]

🙃
I don't even get the bonus rare shards in mine.

[woven grove]

150% of base value, not total. Gotta use Scopley mafs, not logical math.

[vagrant topaz]

Oh wow the anniversary event is primarily just a money making event for Scopely. Imagine that!

[vernal isle]

When Scopely says 150% they really just mean 50% more, but want to trick your brain into thinking it’s even bigger and an even better bargain.

Remember, they spend more on psychological research than coding.

[vagrant topaz]

or bandwith for their servers that LAGGGGG

[burnt granite]

Fair is fair: free epic officer is a good 5 anniversary gift. Well done, Scopely. 👌

[fiery forge]

Not when most people have them

[woven grove]

Depends on how good your server has been during Incursions on whether or not you'd have SNW Una at all, and ST epic shards are hard to come by without spending. So, there's a few good ones in the selection, but obviously player-dependant.

[lament citrus]

Thanks for the free epic scopely. That said, the freeman sms requirements are just too high to entice me to spend/participate.

[junior pond]

The problem is that sitting at 39 I can't even refine the G4 that might be more helpful I also notice that the promised tweaking of scoring for heroics has only served to raise the top milestone further out of reach.

[halcyon fiber]

get into the early 50s, you cant spend the mats you got because you dont have enough parsteel

[trail solar]

too bad its a free officer that basically anyone has already unlocked or is not worth it.

[warm cave]

if you think 5 isnt worth getting every shard you can, you insane.

[barren jacinth]

this cardassians bp event is awful. only one system with lvl 50 reds - always full with players. armadas too strong, so we cant finish it fast with a few armadas. very time consuming BP event, i dont like it.

[trail solar]

yeah, but it only brings her 1/8 the way to t5, nice still, but a bit meh

[lavish pawn]

Nice but underwhelming anniversary gift

[junior juniper]

i wanted janeway, but none of the voyager crew got back from the DQ yet apparently..

[lavish pawn]

The nanotech refinery is sadly silly probably your best bet...and it'll probably take a while...but yeah, I'm with you that she'd have been helpful

[quaint vessel]

Remember when the whole server used to be stuffed inside a single system for events? Did we not learn anything?

[deep halo]

At ops 54 it's a joke, they don't play the game. That the point

[warm cave]

God its like you could say "Hey, now with the ops cap raised, we need to add g5 armadas for cardassians. Much like how expanded the eclipse armada's. If only there was a suggestion channel and feedback channel where we could all make suggestions and then suggest it in force... That happened for eclipse. Or i mean you could continue to just whine

[quaint vessel]

Thanks for your permission. Will continue to whine.

[novel mango]

Heroic on events just means the rewards are stupidly over priced. So this is yet another event I won’t even bother with.

[buoyant ember]

@wanton copper @icy cairn 5 year Anniversary events - Blow. 120 Epic shards for the years of support and $$$$ used to advance in the game. The celebration and Thank You to the players is shameful Scopely. Could of had some really cool MEGA Packs not just an extra 50%. I have seen better packs on end of ARC events and holidays, really wasted a historic occasion and insulted us as players. Could have made some really fun events that maybe spanned the whole 5 year journey to celebrate.....

[keen torrent]

Hugh would have been nice to have in that anniversary group of officers……

[lyric wharf]

IF that's it for the 5YA......then yeah.....epic fail Scopley.....

[lyric quiver]

Like the gift of shards. What would have made it amazing is if the tokens could be spent buying individual shards vs full unlocks. Full unlocks are fine if you have zero shards or need the full shards for a tier up. Otherwise being able to split up the shard purchases would have been a great way to do it for a 5th anniversary

[narrow cradle]

Agreed! If I could spend them individually, I could have unlocked three different officers.

[lyric quiver]

Just imagine how you would feel after unlocking 3 different officers. A missed opportunity for Scopely, too bad.

[compact tiger]

So what were those 5th anniversary tokens we've already been collecting?

[worn grove]

They said something will come later and to keep collecting them

[fickle dirge]

As a LV19 player, I have to say the Officer Event picks for the 5yr Anniversary #SUCK!

[mild meadow]

the other tokens were for the various raffle prizes. that's it

[lyric quiver]

Automatic entries into various raffles

[molten marlin]

next month they're adding an in game redemption for the anniversary tokens

[trail solar]

So either I have to spend 700.000 g4 unc or 420.000 g5 unc? Dont we think this is a bit out there Scopely?

[keen torrent]

Was just thinking that

[vast goblet]

You new? It’s a heroic event, needs real money to get even close

[warm cave]

happy to help anyone more interested in crying then lobbying with solutions

[river merlin]

dude thinks they care lmaooooo can tell you started less than 2 years ago

[brisk mantle]

As if they'll listen to suggestions XD

[trim gazelle]

They'll both be out of jobs after the new year. This game is wrecked, no need for content or community managers when the game is done and no one plays it.

The game has two things you can do:

Click farm for resources
Give us money

[novel mango]

The scoring is such a joke on the freeman one I am not even trying.

[tawny parcel]

The apex material never puts out 5* Material dispite it garantees it in the discription

[molten marlin]

what are you talking about? apex doesn't say anything about 5* if you mean the assimilated refit description, you need your rogue rep at outlaw to gain access to the 5* boxes

[half flare]

This is clearly not Heroic in the same way as other heroic events. For clarity on those events, this one should be renamed (Advanced? Deluxe?)

[warm cave]

I’d like to see the board cube added to the mega cube event store. And I would like to see the cost for officers with event currency in the mega cube store, reevaluated and reduced

[dark horizon]

just rename the others "Whaleroic"

[coral bane]

No ‘event’ to get megacube directives back?
Cube events are retrieving btw.
Scopely still didnt acknoledge this long lasting returning issue in any way. Quite a recurring disappointment. Several times a week now

[boreal coyote]

epics used to be 4K

[boreal coyote]

i think every event that is heroic should have a $ sign in the card - snimilar to the reseach card design. but you are right, thats def not heroic. it is one of the only ones i do anymore, just for the "trickle" of parts....

[half flare]

I believe you can get the directives back on day 3, traditionally

[warm cave]

i'm aware, they upped it to 6k. They should be 3k

[sharp abyss]

My Alliance Members Scoreboard not working on the Return of Mega Cube ALB. Network error 403

[molten marlin]

None of the boards are working

[sharp abyss]

FFS Can’t you do anything right Scopely. This event is not new. Get it together.

[night otter]

Is it too much to ask for enough Eclipse armada systems or faster respawn times so we aren't waiting around forever?

[boreal coyote]

Re Recruit Freeman SMS. I’m really glad you guys are doing stuff like this. It’s a good opportunity for someone that wants to push opps or just got a new ship. I know it says heroic, heroic isn’t really an excuse ( cough syndicate ) but the milestones are frankly insane. Do you guys do the math as to what these take? I could rush all my lvl 45 buildings that need mats and I don’t think I could reach the first tier. It’s just nutz. We don’t have enough things that require so many mats ( don’t get any ideas ). Mats have gotten better, but events and refineries don’t pay enough for 4 auctions a month even if we had stuff to progress ….. I’m not cracking on the event, I’m cracking on the points needed. My low tier reward is over 27k 4SU and top tier is over 411K 4SU. I’m a 4S player, Doesn’t that just feel wrong? ( it does feel shady to your customers )

[sinful heart]

I seriously think they are intentionally doing this at this point. Either actively trying to kill the game, or force out the non/low spenders. Which will have the same effect so the point is moot. The snake oil salesman that is scopy has reached the point where there is no brilliance to dazzle us with, and we are seeing through the bs they keep trying to baffle us with. Except the VIPs, they still seem to throw money at nothing.

[boreal coyote]

I struggle with it. I understand the want to finish events and push for rewards. I just think with such imbalance it can have the exact opposite effect on many players. Long timers are dropping like flies. We just drained a 60 and had another alliance mate quit today. It’s stuff like this that just adds up ( not even talking about stability ) over time and turns people off to the game…. Sad really….

[sinful heart]

Oh most definitely, I quit doing solos a while ago, haven’t grinded for much of anything. Barely doing bp events, and have not bought the last two 10$ mid arc packs, and probably not buying this next arcs bp. Wouldn’t have bought this one, except bought into Rev’s bs “stay neutral” on the cube 🙄. Scopy has lost all credibility. And their price points don’t encourage “taking a chance” on them anymore. The g5 economy and bs brackets pretty sapped any type of desire to give a dang.

[warm cave]

we literally all have access to a Cube now... but megacube event wasnt reworked at all. Please dont call this 2.0 just because you put solo armada scoring in. That's not a revamp or an improvement. It's jsut an is. @wanton copper do better bro. You should rework all of the old borg space to make it ideal hunting grounds for the new cube. eleminate the old borg armadas all together. Keep the megacube but buff it so it requires teamwork again with the talios.

[tight elbow]

😂https://youtu.be/FZcRPrO0mHM?si=yUTJN-hqdVU-cfhu

[sour arch]

Totally agree. It's lame and disappointing from Scopely that the Mega Cube event hasn't been updated for the Borg Cube. A real missed opportunity to do something different and more exciting. But instead we just get lazy cut and paste 🤯

[prime harness]

Kill borg probe event is ridiculously long. No thanks. Not completing the first level on purpose.

[trail solar]

Players quiting by droves on our server too. I think its not intentional. Scopely simply never has been capable of listening to player feedback and its just getting worse. Glad I never spent money on this. But I think thats the problem, people just keep spending.

[buoyant ember]

@wanton copper @icy cairn Ok, yet another thing BROKEN and Robbing us players of Materials. I had two survey ships get destroyed that were OPC. But as you will see I did not get the credit for my Protected cargo in my refinery.

[molten marlin]

huh

[fresh frost]

huh, that's a new and interesting bug...

[fluid gust]

don't launch events your servers can't handle.
restarted 5 times already, ships never reach the systems for the pvp event...

[proven hill]

OK.. repair bill for one Talios hull as below. So being ganked by a ops 55+ whale 24 times bill = about 1.8B trit.
That Talios event is, like too many events recently, a waste of my time and an insult.

[sinful heart]

For incredibly miserly rewards at that. ONE epic shard, whohoo! I swear scopy has an over inflated sense of value for their products. Reminds of the dudes who drive big trucks and tons of guns when they chat up ladies. 😋

[bitter field]

Who's dumb idea was it to put everyone vidar at all levels in the same PvP system?

[lethal moss]

PvP ranges are terrible/nonexistent for this PvP event. It needs to be fixed so the repair bills are terrible for getting smacked around so much

[pseudo stump]

Either make brackets or get rid of the vidar pvp event in the Borg. There’s no reason a 35 should have to go up against a 64

[bitter field]

Yep - I am just skipping it - poor game planning and management just run off all the lower level players

[vivid cargo]

I "love" those "bully the lower lvls" events...

[bitter field]

It's super impressive and shows serious skills for a level 49 player to destroy a level 33 player - makes me want to buy all the packs LOL

[lean slate]

At least let the hostiles in the system count... then I could at least score (since the 60+ can't even attack me to give me the 30 points)....

[pseudo coral]

Level 35 with talios. Can't beat anyone, so will need to repair 20+ times. No thanks 😅

[floral jacinth]

"Must be attacker to score." So only one player gets points per combat? Does this make it last one to hit attack gets points? Way to make a bad event even worse. @wanton copper

[molten marlin]

You get points for losing either way. And to score for winning, you have to target them as they target you

[wet cosmos]

Whatever you’re doing on the backend during these borg pvp days, it’s killing your services. I’ve had 5 ships get lost requiring a restart, and a bunch of extra “preparing” hangs that required a restart. I would say over the current span of time, 4 typical restarts has turned into 11 restarts.

[trim rapids]

I really don't enjoy this PVP event, there is a large difference in power and it takes to long to finish when losing.

[last lance]

Same here bro. Scopley doesn't care or listen. They just keep feeding us crap.

And I so can not wait for Incursions on Monday. Probably will be the first one ever I have skipped. Its going to be a game crashing, ship stuck, ship cant leave dock, lag fest POS crap bucket.

[lethal jasper]

the forced pvp event where you put ops 59 (for example) with everyone who owns a vidar is ridiculous. at least designate separate systems based on ops levels so it could be mildly enjoyable for everyone instead of just the whales and higher ops levels. :/

[junior pond]

You know, when we asked for like 2 years for them to update the between arcs borg events, I didn't think that we needed to explicitly state that they should improve the events and not make them worse. Dumping everyone into a system with ships that are all maxed so you just lose to everyone's research that's higher than you or into the other system where you are up against ships that you can't match because your ship is ops locked pretty effectively tells players not to play the game. I'm really starting to think there is some competition at scopley HQ on who can design the worst possible event for players these days.

[lethal jasper]

whose idea was it to set the scoring for the bp so far off that it takes 143 hirogen elite to finish the stupid event because thats the farthest warp you can get to at your level?

[fluid gust]

ignore the hirogen, use pmc and go for high level lost explorers.
less interesting loot, but you can clear the event in just a few kills.

[unkempt pecan]

Lots of players still locked out of their main accounts , from Scopely’s blurb up on Sunday, where they reset the game, and kicked players into new servers as ops1. Their merge message sucks, and they refuse to acknowledge the issue, go ahead with Incursions, to further punish players for Scopely’s issue. No recompense, just shields IF you ask, for 3 days. Not even recompense for bad service on the final day of the battlepass. It’s iffy if those affected will be fixed by Incursion, but instead of heavily affected servers getting a “by” week, they will just feed their whales.

[lethal jasper]

need the stuff for the refinery and I might get close to twice the points per hit, true. but thats still a lot of time, definitely not just a few kills. I dont have the warp or ship strength to get further currently. Good idea though, if you're able and wanna make that trade off. 🙂

[pearl crag]

Fail on the megacube attack patten alpha event. Not fun at all to have to go up against players that are 10 or more levels above uiu and 5 times stronger. Why not make it more competitive and fun to make brackets for the players so they can go head to head and figure out what crews work best for them. Just not fun to have an event you can only die in.

[fluid gust]

what warp range is your voyager?

[lethal jasper]

185

[fluid gust]

aran and dijor'joh should be well within your range, lost explorers there are relatively easy to deal with if you use PMC.
between 2 and 4 kills cleared the event for me.
just don't accidentally attack a hirogen, those hit hard even with pike/moreau/chen or picard/beverly/chen.

[lethal jasper]

thanks for the tip! 🙂

[sinful heart]

I hope those who got their accounts screwed up take this opportunity to walk away. Walk away and tell anyone who will listen to avoid this game like a plague, and lodge a complaint with the BBB.

[ripe sierra]

What a great pvp event with the whole server in the same system. I only have to send my Vidar to die 24 times! Then I get to do the same with my newborn Talios! What a great game! So much fun! 🥴

[vernal isle]

FTC

[sinful heart]

That too

[uneven salmon]

The description of the current Vidar/Talios PvP event "must be the attacker to score" is not true 😑

[molten marlin]

you score points when you lose regardless, but if you win a fight you have to have targetted the other player for it to count

[uneven salmon]

So does it actually mean “Must be the attacker to score winner points?”

[molten marlin]

yes

[uneven salmon]

ok I guess I need to study Scopelish as my third language

[ivory cape]

Anyone else have a talios that keeps getting lost in space on its way to the event system Talmir? I send it to talmir and it never makes it there. Then when I try to recall, says it's already docked. Reset my game and it's back at home.

[uneven salmon]

It happened to me three or four times. I tried cash clear & restart several times, and suddenly it's fixed. 🤷

[vagrant topaz]

Same issue! But Vi'dar on way to Panak. I better try the clear localisation thing n see what happens

[half flare]

This battle pass event was certainly possible for me (lvl 49, t6 voyager) killing hostiles, but it was much more of a grind than most battle pass events. I would suggest cutting the points required for each milestone in half for the next running of it. Edit: you may want to double the points awarded for killing hostiles instead if you are concerned with making the event too easy by doing research or upgrading the Voyager.

[valid scroll]

Battle Pass Point Event physically impossible at current level. Calculated time required after not being able to reach the first reward point. It would take 6.3 hours to reach the first milestone and it would take 63.4 hours of nonstop play to complete the event at the current Voyager level. Suspect ranges were done on OPS level instead of Voyager level

[boreal coyote]

Jost hit Lost, not Elite. Still..... it takes far longer than other BPs

[woven grove]

All events are based on current Ops level. It's never been based on the special ship's level. That would be too fair for f2p. 🙃

[small narwhal]

This event is just confusing, not hard. Forget the voyager and forget hirogen. For me at ops 49, the bp event is 20x lvl 51 lost hostiles, which is easy and no harder than any other bp event.

[fluid gust]

ops level is what matters.
lost don't require voyager, and you can reach lost up to lvl51 with 110 warp range.(uncommon formada systems)
51 is the highest you can do with the benefit of pike/moreau/chen or picard/beverly/chen.
at ops43 it takes me between 2 and 4 kills.

[Dijor'joh System S:2000631744]

[severe shell]

this 1/2 an incursion on a friggin monday is not ok.

[formal musk]

another month passed, another failure to deliver on the promise of revised incursion events.

[errant jetty]

If Server 98 is going to be part of an Incursion on Latinum Rush Monday, is there going to be a postponement of the Latinum Rush? Or are the Latinum Mining Systems excluded?

[unkempt pecan]

Thats their intent... they're tired of people shielding and the whales being unhappy. Now its on a day where you have to have vulnerable ships out to do the event. and to stop those who do it after, they go from incursion directly into a maintenance. Its to drive more kills for the payers. Its pretty rotten as far as "engagement" tactics go, its why the event is pretty terrible. Its not driven on fun, but on "engagement" tactics to support only some of the p(l)ayer community

[subtle scarab]

There doing a bang up job on my server a few whales have recently quit as a waste of money

[unkempt pecan]

real life costs have gone up across the globe, some people are no doubt looking at their bills and seeing the 99.99 x 6 every update on this game, for a "lease" of an item only good for the duration of the game's life, probably looks less appealing. Last Sunday they accidently reset a lot of players to ops1, the glitch made it pretty evident you can lose everything you paid for in a second. thousands gone in a blink of an eye. While it was a technical issue last sunday, they're ignoring it, because if they bring attention to it, it will be a reminder how ephemeral all your purchases are. Whales got a wake up call, no need to bring attention to it, but the bad thing is the silence is far more damaging.

[subtle scarab]

But at least borg spheres attack event is easy to complete

[uneven jolt]

Return of the MegaCube implementation: There should be a Heroic SMS Armada spend event with better rewards like 300.000-600.000 loot rewards. The loot we get form this event is not that much, in the +51 bracket as it so wide. The SLB reward for 7 36000 loot is not much. It would have made it more interesting to do the solo borg armadas if there have been a Heroic SMS Spend Dir event. Hope you can look into it

[wise lintel]

Not pleased at incursions starting an hour before reset and lasting less than 24 hours

Makes things more challenging for people working long hours/nightshifts

[radiant solstice]

Can we reduce spawn times for mega cube armadas please? It's already tilted in favour of large alliances with more members that have directives. Don't need to also make it dependent on luck and "see who can stare at the screen longest and then click the fastest"!

[glad surge]

Cube grind. 44 mins. needs fixing.

[topaz bolt]

Why start incursions with the horrible state the game is in? Please fix it first!

[left marlin]

Scopely, how about another Quality of Life update concerning Expansion Cubes? Can you plz fix the anti-ECube Exos so that they can be manually activated, instead of automatically whenever you beat a Borg Solo? It would take so much of the hassle out of running ECubes, thx

[dim hare]

Thats the intent - spend your speed ups, spend your rss, spend your $ to buy more... Oh yea its right before a incursion so you have less forcing you to buy more... Merry Christmas, love $copley...

[fallow geode]

This is for the riders of the game incursions on Monday is a brainless move.

[dark jewel]

The incursions xslb not fair if you look at how many points for uncommon it's insane. Every building in G6 takes thousands and thousands of uncommon so a G6 player only has to upgrade one building and he takes the entire XSLB. It's not fair for the rest of us to be grouped in that same event if that's the way it's going to go. Other words those that have access to the G6 economy should be in their own event.

[scenic plover]

Our Alliance was counting down the minutes on the Incursion Prep: Building Bonds ALB and we were in first place. We ran armadas all night and right down to the wire. Then when the reset happened, the time on the event changed to 23 hrs - why did this happen? It really took the wind out of our sails and resulted in a very unpleasant gaming experience. I am so disallusioned with STFC right now that the rules can change on a whim. Do better Scopely! We deserve it, considering how much time an hard earned money that many of us spend on this game!

[dim hare]

finish the story, did you win or lose?

[scenic plover]

This happened just today so there is an additional 22 hrs left on the event.

[dim hare]

ahhh, lol I should have known that lol

[scenic plover]

It was supposed to finish at 12pm EST today but then the timer reset to an additional 23 hrs 😦 Now the incusion prep events won't be over until after the incurion is under way and we would have to run armadas during the incursion! Doesn't seem right, does it?!

[covert mica]

I don't know why YOUR alb, would be any different from the rest of the games' alb.
Mine has always been a 2 day event since it was first ran, along with the milestone event.
The Infrastructure event has always been 2 ONE day events ran back to back🤷‍♂️

[lapis perch]

Im sure faction hunt tlrewards were better than what I'm collecting today. 11 uncommon gas and no RSS. What have ye screwed up now?

[molten marlin]

Your alliance was mistaken, nothing has changed about it.

[lapis perch]

Rewards for top level are terrible for how long it takes

[vagrant topaz]

Ditch incursions. No one cares...

[harsh ocean]

Yep, I quit doing them. They're just not worth the time it takes, anymore.

[lavish basalt]

@wanton copper @icy cairn another xslb or slb I’m not participating in… as there’s no point. I’m ops 54z. I don’t mine the slbs, but get scopely to fix the brackets if you want people to participate.

[vernal isle]

Chase the whales, spend hard and still lose, that’s the lesson they want you to learn.

[lavish basalt]

I used to stock pile mats and dump them during SLB events. Now, I only chase sms events, the others are a waste of time

[sinful heart]

What’s funny is KS getting lapped! That server 10 dude at top is Friggen crazy. That is just stupid money being thrown Scopy’s way 🙄 though I AM glad to see our whales are THAT silly.

[lavish basalt]

I was keeping it anonymous ;). You and I are mini whales; I don’t begrudge anyone spending their money how they want, it’s their right. It’s scopley’s right to charge what they want and to make money. What I’d like to see is at least an even scoring playing field for all ops levels. Failure to do so only reduces participation

[sinful heart]

Oh I would like to agree, however I am far from a whale. I am maybe a big dolphin at best. (In any other game, yes the money I have spent would be whalish) And as long as the real whales want to keep throwing money at scopy the way they do, well, nothing will change. Hence the reason why we have come to the point we are at now. Both sides have conditioned the other. And everyone else gets screwed. 🤷‍♂️

[pseudo coral]

This complaint falls on deaf ears. The game has always been like this, will always be like this. When g7 and g8 and g9 come along, all those complaints will be forgotten. It will be easier to catch up and the cycle begins again. For many people I can only assume they are new to gaming and have never seen games outside of the mobile sphere. Mobile gaming is akin to casino management. You may as well argue on why you don't win enough on roulette.

[sinful heart]

1. this game isn’t making to the 6th anniversary let alone g9 🙄. Please, they are choking the life blood (the dolphins and low spenders) from the game. 2) this game isn’t listed as a gambling game. (Though YES in all reality it is, based on the FOMO and PSYOPS they employ). 3) why on earth would ANYONE justify it against another player?! This is beyond the pale. Folks need to QUIT saying scopy is “ok” for doing what they do. They are not, it is not, and they should LOUDLY be held accountable. And whales need to quit feeding them by buying everything they see.

[pseudo coral]

They are certainly not right for how they monetise or run the game but at the same time why would anyone spend $99 on ship, or $50 on other items etc? Always been a mystery to me. Zero value on a game that steadily moves towards a brick wall. The mobile market has steadily got greedier and lazier because there is no need to change. Keep feeding them $ and they can sit back and relax. It's the star trek casino with no competition or people with a will to stop spending 💰

[lyric quiver]

What the heck Scopely? Fix event timers to start noon eastern but didn’t fix incursions to start at noon? Incursions starting at 11am EST.

[shut aurora]

Let me guess. Half the developers were told 11am. The other half were told noon

[night star]

They have more than 1 dev?

[austere mortar]

so, what good is incursions when you can’t cross over? 😂

[marble sierra]

great work scopely.. cant cross over

[vagrant topaz]

looks like its broken - cannot switch servers, cannot select systems

[shut aurora]

Wasting PvP exo time too

[reef terrace]

So how's that crossover working 🤪🤪🤪

[quasi blade]

Screwed up like every new event🤣

[trim gazelle]

Scopely scopleyed incursion, again! What a bunch of talent!

[velvet quartz]

Scopely please change your business name to Utterly Hopeless!

[austere mortar]

look up scopely on urban dictionary. best definition i ever saw 😂😂

[tropic yew]

Go ahead and get the comp chest ready guys.

[velvet quartz]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[pseudo coral]

I demand a 2nd research queue, builder queue and extra docks as compensation. (10k 3* rare would be a bonus too🥳)

[vagrant topaz]

Hey scopely here is a Process improvement. Have a couple dozen preset comp chests that can just be sent out each time there is an issue. They way you only have to decide the severity of the issue from really bad to sewage plant fire to choose which chest.

[velvet quartz]

I can see no one logging until 11 or 12 tomorrow.

[low radish]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Scopely is completely shameless with this incompetence

[spark lagoon]

Sharing same xslb 52 vs 62 ops is normal thing now?

[shut aurora]

Ops <60 not worth trying in any SLB

[polar berry]

They could just schedule them in advance, there's a few certainties in life. Death, taxes, scopely fails.

Dunno about you guys but it’s a very close call on our incursion

[hasty wedge]

So nice to have +60 ops with ops +50. Really enjoying as dolphin player.

[halcyon fiber]

sweet, lat rush now taking 5 times longer to complete

[wet cosmos]

Hey @wanton copper thanks for keeping with the communication timeline of 9:30amPST to make sure we were updated. But I do want to stress to your teams how important incursions testing and implementing is. Several of our alliance who are on extended breaks were booted and looted for this incursions event. It was not a decision we took lightly, nor were we happy to do it. Please express to your team that an event like incursions needs heavy testing going forward. Thank you

[oblique ridge]

@wanton copper thanks for keeping us informed, much appreciated (genuinely). Please could they fix shields, though? They’re still inoperative in L20+ systems.

[warm blaze]

The" awsome"by week compensation chest will be less that the sms rewards as usual.
So scopay found another way to reduce free stuff and call it technical issues 🤦🙈

[wet cosmos]

Hey @wanton copper we had some teammates close to unlocking officers with anticipated rewards from incursions. Can you see if they can include all the incursions event store stuff in the December event store as well? That way no one is out an added month if they don’t need to be. Thanks

[valid knoll]

Buy Whip or don't compete

[lavish pawn]

Count me among the unlock-hoping folks. 3 shards to go to get SNW La'an and Incursions are the best way to work on FCs, granted MegaCube is good for FC Locutus

[reef terrace]

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[rotund agate]

"sorry about the shields," the canceled event broke your regular gameplay! Brilliant @wanton copper

[fluid gust]

"ceasefire" shields aren't working for a lot of people.

[ornate scroll]

why did you cancel alliance leaderboard events that had nothing to do with incursion??? 😡😡😡 wasted a lot of ship xp for nothing

[winged torrent]

This truly is a huge middlefinger to your whole playerbase

[sly furnace]

Aside from playing Sonic the Hedgehog in the 90s, this is actually my first video game and so I really don't know; is this level of incompetence and lack of professionalism not normal in game developers?

[shrewd badge]

@wanton copper @icy cairn sooo according to the announcement it was decided this morning not to run incursions. We should have surely been informed long before the announcement came out then. I wasted RSS on some of the Incursion ALBs that were still posted. Not impressed with this Amateur Hour method of developing the game and advising players. Note I am OPS 56 which means I have spent a fair amount of cash on this game.

[winged torrent]

The lack of compensation is laughable. I wonder if you can sue Scopely for gross negligence

[lyric quiver]

The Scopely base shields don’t last the night. I assume this is because there will be a yet to be announced server maintenance. If that’s the case. Should announce that sooner rather than later. As that would mean there’s another Scopely shield after maintenance ends, which would explain why the current Scopely shield had a 15 hour timer

[brisk narwhal]

There have been a few lawsuits over games like this where the Developers contravened laws in certain countries

[hidden lantern]

#boycottSTFCtilFIXED.

[near valve]

New arc starts tomorrow

[fallow jolt]

they need double what they are giving us in that compensation chest

[jolly barn]

weak chest. i mean 4 to 5 canceled incursions. waiting all month and get a weak chest.. step up and make it right sigh🙄

[unkempt pecan]

You’ll be waiting a long time, archeologists will find you still waiting, long

[winged torrent]

The game is quickly coming to the point where whales will start lawsuits I reckon.

[pseudo coral]

Well I certainly don't remember Sonic the Hedgehog needing rebooted to get him moving again. No pesky $99 boxes of gold coins either. Value for money 🤑

[brisk narwhal]

Dependent on the country it's being started from there may be consumer protection laws that apply

[chilly flower]

@everyone Commanders,

We will also be activating Cease Fire shields that will be active until 1<t:1701763209:f>. Using personal peace shields in systems-level 20+ may not work until reset tomorrow (as a result of the cancelled Incursions), so please consider this when positioning your base or engaging in PvP today.

LLAP 🖖

@wanton copper can you publish this so it goes to all the servers that follow your post?

[lyric quiver]

Cool. But there has been no official announcement about maintenance

[severe relic]

Yes there has...

#⭐-official-announcements message

Last paragraph.

[lyric quiver]

They just announced it

[lyric quiver]

My original post was before any announcement. Maybe my comment had something to do with it. 🤷

[halcyon fiber]

That's not even about competing, it's about finishing a simple sms

[low radish]

Or so you think, lmao 🤣🤣

[trim gazelle]

nah, new arc maintenance breaks the servers for four days

[near valve]

Break It So 2.0

[hearty arch]

Could we take a month off after this next arc and in January, maybe fix all the issues, bugs, iso boards, etc…..

[gentle prawn]

and not get money coming in for players to spend on new content? ur kidding right

[hearty arch]

Refreshing, wouldn’t it be that they took an opportunity to actually do something meaningful instead of churning out mediocre content. This 5 year anniversary has been a huge dud.

[brisk sigil]

It was 50pts before. Now I understand why I didn’t complete with same amount of mining

[fresh frost]

That changed last month... Or you recently went to ops 40 (eligible for buying the whip)?
I'm still irked that they changed the scoring for something that's pay-only, even though I tend to ignore the event.

[brisk sigil]

Just noticing. But yes, I’ll also ignore that event

[zenith wing]

it's not ops 40; this is my event at 45:
might be ops 50?

[fresh frost]

Oh , interesting

Maybe

[fresh frost]

Guess the question is, can you see the whip in store?

[zenith wing]

yup

[fresh frost]

Segmented by ownership? I dunno

[tight elbow]

Ops 51 the event changes regardless of whether you have the whip or not. Because..... reasons....

[brisk sigil]

Right. I went from 49 to 52. That’s it. And rewards are crap for the effort now

Welcome to arc launch fail day. Testing and QC on top of server load balancing should be something @scopley should look into

Remember Arc hasn't started. DON'T do anything with new stuff as will be points for event

Rewards in the Battle Simulator for an OPS 59 player are a JOKE! (Really Kirk Shards and a few rare officer token and a few hundred parasteel)...LMAO

[sinful frost]

What can posibily go wrong. Full minimg ships can not enter base. I cannt hunt hostiles, game become like tv you can watch it and thats it.

[opaque sedge]

this minigame gives me 4 minutes of fun! After that I was done with that… we need more, but especially more difficult minigames like that..

[umbral wyvern]

Heck no, FIX THE MAIN GAME!!!

[mystic epoch]

Are your shields okay in the plus 20 zones or should we wait until the noon break?

[prime harness]

This hostile bug is messing with my ability to finish faction hunt.

[stone marsh]

It's meant for brand new players, we're not the target audience.

[frank canopy]

Android has no new arc cards. PC does.

[ruby shoal]

When will the s31 crate be available

[rustic bison]

Since hostiles are now broken (for many of us) and we're unable to target hostiles, we can't finish the faction hunt...are we also going to get some kind of claim for those of us unable to target hostiles for this?

[vernal isle]

lol, no

[unreal coral]

@wanton copper Isnt the quantity of cipher tokens given as rewards in the battle pass incorrect? It gives quantities of 1 or so per day, where as it takes 100 to launch one? (picture below 15 starts - 15x100),

[fading venture]

@wanton copper can we please remove the purchase limit on the Monveen BPs in the event store?

[wheat pelican]

@wanton copper canot choice my team on wave ...
I play with noob aleatory ....
Stupid update
New grind stupid
No RSS on battlepass
Stupid
This games become stupid

[junior violet]

Lots of issues with that simulator, the biggest being controls. It should just be pick target then hit weapon. Instead it is pick weapon, select target, hit weapon again. The whole process is now is like going down your back to reach your ass.

[nova delta]

Wave Defense laggy as hell, ships stuck in combat, killed enemy ships still shown with 0 hp cluttering the system, rubberbanding ships, invisible ships destroy objective that needs defending —> absolutely unplayable

[dim hare]

Since the game is STILL impossible to play are we going to receive max gifts for all events such as faction hunt.... I mean I have restarted several times, switched from PC to IOS and vice versa... and I still cant attack hostiles

[simple jungle]

S172 impossible to play decently..... @wanton copper

[broken root]

So no defiant or voyager parts in the event store. No automated defence shards neither and no FC officer shards either. You guys keep creating new things but not keeping up with it in the event stores.

[dark horizon]

excellent Q/A everyone

[shrewd badge]

@wanton copper @icy cairn You have to Tell the Devs....They Need to STOP and fix whats broken and stop releasing content without proper thought through testing. NO Testing is going on and I'm starting to see more and more players Snap and just ditch the game due to poor gameplay, ill thought out updates and the clear Pay To Win shift that has taken place over the last 12 to 18 months.

[dim hare]

Why does NO OTHER GAMING COMPANY HAVE THESE ISSUES

[sinful heart]

@wanton copper, I hope you guys are ready to spot folks for the first couple of days on this new battle pass for your wave defense game. Especially since A) it’s broken 🤨(surprise) B) it’s a new feature and folks are going to need to get the hang of it. As of now, it is a “don’t purchase unless it gets completed” type of thing in my book.

[fresh pecan]

@wanton copper Completed all waves and the event scoring isn't working. Will this be fixed?

[lapis orbit]

you would think that this company having so much money they could afford to increase the EC2 server instance size when new mission chains like this drop

[naive viper]

Unable to fight waves in Waves event. They are invisible until they are actually hitting the station. When they arent invisible you cant target them.

[obtuse sapphire]

Where's the G3 TOS Augur Refit Shards????

[dim hare]

I don't even know where to go for this wave thing, would be a good idea to put it in the description... And the new mission gives you no information as to what it is or what it is about, once started you can't exit to try to get information.... DONATE!?!?! DONATE WHAT, WHAT ARE WE GIVING UP... great storyline...

[pulsar obsidian]

A 3rd battle pass that we have to buy now? Are you kidding me??!!

[dim hare]

They are trying to get as much as possible before the ship sinks

[hollow vector]

Similar problems here. Unable to attack the hostiles. Or stuck in long battle animations.

I wish they would properly beta test new ideas. This is ridiculous.

[dim hare]

what is beta test...

[spare island]

Still don't see a battle simulator

[rain pike]

we are

[sharp iris]

yeah mission boss killed and didnt advance its a dead golden boss, their goes my completion of missions

[errant chasm]

Can only get 1/2 the Monoveen? Why?

[novel mango]

Mission for arc is already broke can’t attack the ship target.

[supple flax]

Fix it pls

[high river]

Wow 3 battlepasses. Scopely must be buying a bank and needs more money.

[dim hare]

poodoo

[jaunty ingot]

yep same issue with part 2, Khalar's Ship

[novel mango]

Not working already.

[high river]

@wanton copper is this performing as it was "tested"? All broken and unplayable? Nice to hit 1 red then have to restart game to hit another red. But of course this was design because scopely tests their content before release right?

[dim hare]

So you want us to spend $300 on battle passes, TC season pass, and now Wave Defense and you cant event make the game playable!!! But I don't blame $copley, I blame all the people willing to spend money on this game regardless of 4 day response times for help tickets, (with 90% zero resolution), wasted player effort due to the game NOT functioning as intended and outright failed events...

[opaque sedge]

This wave event is only for highlevel player!! People. in there 30s can’t do anything in this event

[karmic hill]

Sit and spin. Waiting a few hours before doing anything.

[junior violet]

New feature is a joke. Lag is so bad that when the wave comes it take 30 seconds for one battle to finish. Sometimes I clicked attack and my ship went to the hostile and then did nothing. @wanton copper please stop introducing new features that require multiple people to participate until you can figure out how to eliminate the lag issue that has plagued this game for 5 years now.

[woven grove]

So much this... Ships refusing to attack targets, or get stuck in combat. Wave defense is literally, not figuratively, impossible to complete as it is.

[novel mango]

The battle sim is so dumb can’t believe they wasted time on that thing.

[fading venture]

Yup, nice free transporter patterns but done in 5 minutes, maybe they'll add new levels with new officers but yeah, kinda feels pointless

[knotty acorn]

We lost a wave defense due to lag. I really hope there's compensation coming.

[vocal coral]

what a waste of developer time...

[trail solar]

Lag does not appear to be resolved. Ships are stuck in combat for ages during defense waves.

[tranquil crescent]

@wanton copper Help! Well, I'm playing the {CLASSIFIED] Mission, I've attacked [redacted], but her ship and ! quest mark are still there, and it's not letting me continue.... ( and yes, my ship still exists, healthily)

[wet cosmos]

Given there’s no lvl cap or power distribution of rewards, these wave defenses seem bad. It’s less important for me to crew properly and think of a strategy than it is for me to just ask a whale to join my defense. This feels like the opposite of a design goal

[keen plank]

yeah, as if an ops 30 player could even dream of fighting an 5m+ hostile with lvl 28 🤣
once again a feature meant for ops 35+ with access a little earlier
and here i was positive in my approach, yeah we will die, but the waves get harder and harder... nobody thought we would die on the 1st wave thou
whoever balanced this, take away his secret stash insides

[modest sapphire]

<@&509691205798592532> unable to do the pass event due to the waves lagging badly so unable to level the pass

[clever sail]

What is with the sudden extra pass that was not announced at all?

[prisma vector]

<@&509691205798592532> wave defence lag terrible cost me 500 cipher to just get rhe 5 levels

[lavish pawn]

Maybe double-check the events listings before they go live...

[trim gazelle]

no one asked for this

[ruby ivy]

Defense Waves, impossible for random players to join, the team has to be organized with specific ships for the correct hostiles, this is worse than the expansion borg cubes which everyone hates!

[jaunty ingot]

How does a ops 30 complete the waves if the enemy is 5+ million strength? no event should be based on being carried and continuous death/repair/repeat mechanics

[vocal coral]

are you sure porky ? I think its the most amazing waste of time both for developers and players

[royal bramble]

Yeah, a wave defense 32 fed explorer with 16m power is ridiculous. Usually eat those all day- took a comparable Valdore from almost full hull to almost no hull. In one battle. Progressively larger and harder is one thing. But this scaling is BAD.

[trim gazelle]

I'm sure other Porky!

I think they got flack from using a fake minigame in their advertisements, so they needed a real minigame to lure people in instead!
What else would those developers do anyways? There's no need for QA

[edgy elk]

@wanton copper another month, another busted rollout...

[vocal coral]

🐷

[indigo iris]

@wanton copper Mission hostiles are stucking in battle....

[marble siren]

why having section 31 shop and building at lvl30, when you get 17 mio ships in the second wave?!?!?

[shadow trellis]

Yeah I’m lvl 30 and thought it would be fairly easy I died on first hostile I hit as over 5mil power

[stray oriole]

Thought it would be fun this arc, but already done trying the waves.. to difficult, to strong and lag so cant kill more then 2 hostiles during on wave.

[marble siren]

are there lvl30 wave systems missing?

[shadow trellis]

Yeah this isn’t fun unless you are maybe lvl 40 it’s not even worth trying in my opinion, so to say it’s open to lvl 30 is a joke

[solemn saddle]

well from what i have seen the lvl 40 are easier

[stray oriole]

I am a lvl 44 and still no fun.

[royal bramble]

Tried to do the ones for mission outside of Bravo- FORGET IT. Instant death. Scopely screwed an entire kennel of pooches on this one. Yeah, you’re gonna delete this comment, but only because it’s TRUE.

[peak crescent]

first wave near bravo = instant death for level 44. lol Guess I won't be doing the mission

[zealous ridge]

ops 30 - where you can only pop the first two borg probes or the 1 or 2 survey ships that spawn, and gimp the group - missing some serious balance

[kindred merlin]

So I “killed” it but it wont Finish…..

[light kiln]

what am I missing from this mini game battle simulator? I reach stage 4 and on 2nd attempt, I did 0 damage... just keep clicking and losing?

Welcome to scopely’s lates dumpster fire

[light kiln]

thanks... don't know why they didn't state that anywhere... I was just clicking because it didn't even tell me to do that

[prisma temple]

please keep in mind that some people could not finish faction hunt because of server problems when issuing gifts

[safe ether]

Should have kept your old account 😉

[unkempt falcon]

Think its annoying that the waves aint made for all lvls

[molten ridge]

yo, are you going to update these single-day events to multi-day events given the fact that they barely work?

[shut geode]

cancel this one, give everyone the rewards. It's impossible to get done with the lagging server. Is the best solution, than can scopely working on fix for the next time

[mint dune]

So in 25 years of working in IT I've never seen a respectable Tech. company who releases software without propper Test/UAT environment & attempts to fix it on the fly ,while live, the just released version of software.
Not to mention that it's not a one of but a general pattern of behaviour.
It's mind-boggling.
I wonder if Scopley ever heard of IT Service Management, Risk Management, Quality control.
Then the 'customer communication' which very wishy washy, asking for feedback but then playing it down when the reality hits & it's time to really take responsibility for bad quality of service.
The notion of paying customers who are entitled of a minimal quality level of service- as well it seems to be a foreign ,out of this world, idea.
Overall, what a hot mess.

[vivid cargo]

Waves seems difficult when only low levels in and often some join but afk 😦

[round moth]

Why create a battlepass that I can't complete? Defiantly not spending money on that.

[brazen merlin]

Really not cool having very good advice about adding more stuff(half functioning) on top of a cluttered buggy existing platform. We giving feedback all the time and to clearly not taking note or doing much about customer concerns ..... Unprofessional at the least👌💪fit that bicep in the hole. That's your idea of helping us scopely

[trim gazelle]

they're just a billion strength, that should be totally doable for a g3 player 😄

[shadow trellis]

Those low lvls thought they might have a chance at it , but it’s overpowered

[vivid cargo]

But BP ask for it and from low lvl...

[round moth]

@trim gazelle Yeah.....normal lvl 28 fkr hostiles are 5 million strength.
@vivid cargo no need for low levels to be at the keyboard. They can't defeat any hostiles anyway.

[novel totem]

Feedback on waves:

• They move too fast.
• Too many speciality ships in the waves
• Requires too much coordination for the 5 players.
  If it get's toned down it's a nice feature

[vocal coral]

ships still got stuck druing battle there needs to be compensation for messed up calls

[trim gazelle]

100% you can't be fast AND specialty
gotta pick one.

Found Actian, Texas, Species 8472... its all over the map

[royal bramble]

Game crashing when the timer starts is probably my favorite part.

[vivid cargo]

At the moment it is a lvl 49 who is afk in the waves 😦

[unreal coral]

the hirogen in the wave defense arent tagged DQ so voyager ineffective vs them, only the bioships

[tame crown]

@wanton copper please think an "invite only" option for the leader for wave defence. Too many afkers

[trim gazelle]

gotta just KOS their alliance

[unreal coral]

Hirogen way overpowered with no speciality ship working vs them (not flagged such that voyager works vs them) in wave defense

[novel mango]

Can’t attack hostiles and or get stuck in combat so long you lose anyways.

[cunning chasm]

New Wave defense need some fixing, interesting mechanics, but waste of time when anyone with little ship can join

[mint cobalt]

I like the new feature. My opinion:

The incoming hostiles are too fast. Lower level players do not have the impulse research to do well. We are even using alliance impulse exos and it can be challenging.

The math seems to be way off on the stats of these ships. A lvl 42 Texas class ship in a wave defense has over 200 million in power compared to a level 51 in one of the normal Texas class systems? A 2 billion power swarm? Even g5 players are struggling here and lower level players are having issues with fkr hostiles that have double the normal stats.

There is no way to effectively coordinate this in game. We are using voice chat on discord with who we can.

I hate not being able to see which players have joined a defense like you would an armada. You can waste calls essentially with players who aren’t prepared or don’t understand the mechanic.

[cloud wasp]

the free-for-all format of the waves sucks, please at least make a "allow alliance only" checkbox or something. otherwise it's an exercise in frustration of what otherwise would be a genuinely fun part of the game

[empty badger]

Can you DEV, lower the milestones for battlepass event Threat reduction - Lost & Hirogen, we have a lot of other things to do in game, why are the milestones so high just for this battlepass event???

[woeful whale]

I did 2 wave defenses. Made it to round 4 both times. One mission I had got completed at a similar step. This one did not complete. Is there certain systems I need to use or is it enough to just survive a round in any wave system?

[vivid cargo]

Bravo is the lvl 50 system, is not the 30 you made ?

[fluid gust]

go for the lost explorers in the older DQ systems, you can clear it in as little as 2 kills.

[woeful whale]

The 2 I was in were both 30’s. I assume from your comment this mission requires a higher level wave then?

[fluid gust]

there's only lvl 40 and 50, that mission requires the 50's

[willow plaza]

wave events need scaling to make it easier to fight ships if you don't have the attack power. having to afk idle just because i can't fight any of these is not fun

[fluid gust]

you can help by bringing specialty ships like mantis, franklin, and vi'dar.

[willow plaza]

are these all borg mobs?

[empty badger]

2 kills? Okay if you have the ship power, my milestones are 8.83 mill, I need to kill 2 x 59 DQ hostile?? I don't even have G5 UC ships yet... I need to kill 117 lvl 51 ships with my current ships just for doing battle pass.

[agile trout]

im not buying a battle pass because there is no materials in the bp overflow. thanks for saving me 20 dollars scopely!

[fluid gust]

you're a grade ahead of me..., that may change things.
at ops 43 killing 2 lvl51 explorers worked using voyager(9m] or monaveen(19m).

[hollow flicker]

Waves need to start with only FkR mobs and add specialty mobs as the scale by level grouping. Entry level waves should not rely on specialty ships to have a chance at wave 1. It's like giving a new driver the cdl exam at learners permit level...

[visual tendon]

I can't finish this mission

[tough heath]

Neither can another 2250+ other players according to the official announcements page

[errant chasm]

what's with the limit on Monoveen BPs?

[novel mango]

Every time I think about spending money on a BP Scopley screws up another arc launch and then I close my wallet.

[river merlin]

at least you have brain 👍

[median tapir]

I just came to say that I hate that wave thing. 🙂 the scaling is ridiculous

[weak solstice]

23M "level 35". In Wave 3. Sure.

[deft rain]

why on earth can you not control who joins wave defense like you can with armadas? hard enough to coordinate without having to deal with random jackasses from other alliances joining

[vernal isle]

Buy section 31 rep packs when they drop to get the favors

[tawdry helm]

It’s insane you can’t see how many players are already joined in a wave defense or how much is on the timer before you join. Wasting a lot of currency finding timer is almost up and only 1 person in the defense

[rustic radish]

Wave Defense has been a huge disappointment. I ran 4 or 5 so far, and I usually get instant killed fighting a level 28 hostile when having an advantage. While I expect some challenge, but these hostiles are very under-conned and very difficult to kill as a level 33 player without some serious help from other higher level players. Where is the fun to sit and watch while others do the work for you? I think these hostiles need to be toned down or open a new hub of systems for 20+.

[dawn glacier]

With the new wave defense feature it brings up the zoom bug with an even greater sense of urgency. We need to be able to look around the battlefield without closing our game.

[sly granite]

🌊

[void light]

Scaling needs to be worked on for sure. Hostiles escalate in tier way too fast. 30-50 and before you even get halfway through the waves its reached shps that are level 50+ in power. At a minimum wave 10 should be where you reach the max level ships not wave 5

[fluid basin]

wave defense

[vernal isle]

It’s meant to drive pack sales for the section 31 stuff.

[sly granite]

I can't finish my, mission ,dossier 1Vested interest .🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊@void light

[void light]

When did level 38 ships get 40-50m power? thats like lvl 60 ship power for hostiles

[junior rose]

<@&509690795536941056> for this wave mechanic. I think the concept is good, but the balancing, joining players, speed of the hostiles is flawed. these items should have been flushed out before launch.

[sly granite]

🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[median tapir]

So what happens when you're done with the 10 levels of battle simulation? You're done with it for ever? That was also anti climatic...

[bright tide]

bloody stupid having this new wave defence as an event right away when nobody knew how to do it and a 3rd battlepass wasnt needed

[sinful heart]

100, pretty stingy and stupid, but that is scopy for you 🤷‍♂️

And I think folks need to remember, EVERYTHING with the wave is intentional. They don’t WANT you to get far. They want you to buy packs. The loot from these things are crucial to the new tree tab, and if you get through it without paying through the nose, they feel like they failed in their efforts to make you buy packs. @wanton copper is free (please do) to make me look like an idiot by having them make the thing actually fair and balanced, however I am 💯 positive this is working as intended and nothing will change. Because scopy doesn’t believe in fun, they are greedy, and miserly with their loot. Their answer is now and in the future: BUY MORE PACKS. Two if you please.

[verbal surge]

As with everything released so far, they will do something even more evil next week, so players will “forget” and talk about the next ridiculous thing released
The game moves on so fast with broken content that we can’t complain about everything and keep up with all that is fundamentally wrong, broken,…
Saying they’re listening to feedback is a lie, or at least they’re very picky on what and whose feedback they’re listening to

[spare hound]

Wave defense is awful. Instead of having lower level options, 30 level players are getting the shaft. 40s 50s level players have to carry them and then only get 2 or 3 waves in. The lowest level ships starting at ~5mil!?! Every specialty hostile?!?! Its not fun. Its ridiculous.

[long leaf]

I am guessing all are reporting in WAVE 1 ship freezes and in Battle and wont releaase so then we all die?

[lean basalt]

My only complaint is that it requiring specialized ships and communication to pull off which isn't possible when some rando joins with garbage or just sits there doing nothing

[dim hare]

Wave defense is garbage, I went in with 2 level 52s and two 46s…. And me level 32. I managed to kill one ship , twice my power before dying…. I’m not doing this event as I’m just screwing it up for others.. wave one and the 28s are twice my power…. I’m not spending money to blow up and waste other players efforts and money… great job $copley. Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, then $copley says hold my beer…

[spare patrol]

I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather be running Formation Armadas, which are annoying as nothing else, than this Section 31 BS.

How are we supposed to coordinate at least three different ship hulls/crews (Vi'Dar/Talios, Mantis, Franklin/-A) amongst 5 random strangers with no view of who they are before I join? No dedicated chat? No way to designate what you're coming for? Plus another ship per player for the FKR hostiles? Do you want us all spamming Galaxy chat to coordinate the many groups trying to run and know who's who and in which group? WTF is this mess? The only thing nice is being able to force-start an Armada when we're ready and no PvP in a token system.

[vagrant topaz]

This wave is nothing but 1970s defender arcade game...

[sinful heart]

Nah, Defender was actually fun. And only cost you a quarter. And odds are you lasted longer. 🤨😉

[opaque hawk]

people on our server are griefing in wave defense. waiting until the last few seconds of a countdown, leaving before they get charged tokens, then the remaining people get stuck running it down a person.

[rain gulch]

So yeah not the greatest power balance here.

[sinful heart]

Didn’t see THAT one coming, no not all 🙄. Scopy and their really stupid and player unfriendly ideas.

[coarse canopy]

Waves are not worth it. Going to waste more trit repairing blown up ships for rewards not worth the cost. Again Scopely, another brilliant idea no one wanted, and too costly to want to do. Should have really re-thought this one. To Quote a line from Jurassic Park, "Your engineers were so busy occupied if they could do a thing, they never stopped to think if they should"

[indigo lily]

Thank you.

[waxen heath]

Why does wave defense have its own battle pass? The overlords are constantly squeezing every cent out of us, and have completely stopped caring about the F2P/low spend players

[half panther]

1. The obvious cash-grab with a second battle pass is ridiculous. It has me not wanting to purchase the regular battle pass that I usually do every month for the last year.
2. The wave defense is extremely poorly thought out and executed. It is obviously catering to the whales.
3. The near-constant issues with performance and lag.
4. This is going to be seen by no one who cares enough to pass it along because Scopley hates their players more than Pokémon Go hates theirs.
5. The whole concept of wave defense needs to be nuked and paved.

[junior juniper]

how am i supposed to even do the battlepass events when i can't even finish the pre-requisite quest (my Lithia hostile is stuck in combat)

[pulsar obsidian]

Only half of the Monaveen prints in the event store? Really? Pretty lame move scopely.

[empty robin]

Wave defense, yet another event designed only around those ops 50 and above. Really does not entice me an ops 31 to grind it out, because I know the goal post will just keep moving.

[coarse canopy]

Get the hint Scopely, you bombed with this arc. Scrap it and STOP ADDING MORE CRAP NO ONE WANTS

[atomic fossil]

this is an activity that requires a solid functioning app. ppl are struggling with crashing and lag.

[potent forge]

Wave event failing because team members keep having game crash during waves.

[low radish]

Not just the goalposts, but every prime they introduce is immediately replaced with a new research or building within like 2-3 months

[shut aurora]

Oh come on. Fix the mission bug already. Mission hostile still sitting there. No hull cuz I beat it 10 hours ago

[junior juniper]

i'd be surprised if you could even do one wave as an ops 31.. i can't even kill the 2nd wave hostiles at ops 38.

[slate parcel]

Scopely why am I depending on other players to complete solo milestones

[bleak eagle]

yea right

[edgy elk]

Wave Defense: Another broken mechanic/grind. It's wonderful how they released it the same day combat broke.
@wanton copper we don't want a comp chest. We don't want new content. We want a stable game that doesn't crash every 8 minutes. We want to zoom out without rebooting. We want Scopely to conduct proper beta testing before releasing new content.
Correcting spelling errors is not fixing bugs.

[hasty jay]

I think I got all beat on the overly powered wave attackers

[rancid marten]

There should be an actual invite mechanic to stop random individuals from joining as it makes it hard to plan actions and such or have an option as to whether or not to have a defense be open or closed.

And the jump in strength is maybe, just maybe a bit much. Just maybe though.

[void pulsar]

Fix the crashing on ios. 1h of play at least 7 restart. Crash in the middle of a wave attack. This is unplayable.

[bleak eagle]

taking away the "Risk" factor

[rancid marten]

As long as the attackers strength jumps like it does, being able to organize a little isn't going to make a big difference to a large majority of players.

[unborn igloo]

this is ridiculous. how can this be designed for ops 30? a 5m legionary on lvl 28. lol. don’t waste all you whale money on drugs, scopely devs 😂

[coarse canopy]

no kidding. Seriously broken

[bleak eagle]

no and the lvl50 at the end... 50 ships and only 10 ships to eliminate the wave.

[drifting vector]

Try bones captain, kirk and spock. Hit explorers also if ur in battleship

[bleak eagle]

if u dont have g4 ship u aint gonna win beyond round 2 maybe 3

[vernal isle]

It’s almost as if there isn’t a new faction and a set of researches/favors that will make these easier with time.

[shadow trellis]

lol lvl 30 in what universe

[hearty glen]

Cross-posting: what tf, Scopely? You gave me an event that I normally would be able to complete, but I can’t access the web store. You’ve lost so many people today, and I guess you want to add more people to that list🤦‍♂️

[unreal tulip]

Wave Defense is interesting. It would be fun if the fundamental stability of the game didn’t suck green donkey ducks. The game crashes so frequently that the new feature is unplayable. Hell… the whole game is unplayable. It crashes every 240 seconds or less. Literally! 240 seconds… CRASH!!!

[north oar]

in a universe where there are only credit card whales😂

[vagrant topaz]

Scoply only said you can buy pretty packages from OPS 30. Section 31 expansions for small players cannot be reached otherwise.🥸 The Christmas bonus for the employees must be earned. Understand and buy 4 x 99 € packages! 👀

[shadow trellis]

Christmas presents 🎁 for the family or on scopely 🤔

[agile cave]

Cool new features this month - well done on that Part Scopely.

[woven grove]

My initial impressions of wave defense. Considering the sheer hatred I have for the nimrod that added the anti-Pon ability to FC Sloan (it was not needed, and I will continue to punish whales that cried about Pon and tell them to thank you), 7/10 is considerably high praise after the disaster of last arc's launch and the pathetic decision to nerf all non-g6 mat points in auctions. This arc is kind of a step in the right direction...I can't wait to see how you'll mess it up by only listening to the top 5%.

[hybrid marsh]

First to the key! First to the egg!

[vivid venture]

Can we get the Wave defense for ops 30 players actually doable by ops 30 players please, at the moment unless you have 3+ ops 40s you are unlikely to survive wave 1 and a tier 8 Vidar dies to Borg probes at wave 2

10/10 for idea, 2/10 execution

Also I would prefer a gather all ships going and port in together mechanic to the faster click we have now.

Also don't start the timer till Leader moves from the the center or allow people to look in cause I had one fail because people couldn't get more than one ship in before timer ended

So maybe timer visible from outside view?

[shadow trellis]

Did better than me I didn’t even kill 1 hostile before I was dead

[vast garnet]

The Wave Idea is a good one. But the instability of the game makes it unplayable. I missed a complete wave, cause the game crashed. Additionally it is no fun, when everyone can join and gets the points for just being there, without participating. Leader should be able to choose or kick people

[vivid cargo]

About wave :
Not a good thing in this state
Game instability (lag, disconnect,…)
People joining but not playing, people left just before start
Too much difference in power if low people even one wave is difficult

[shadow trellis]

It should have been lvl30 , lvl40 and lvl50 systems

[vernal ermine]

Without searching, I suspect this idea has already been mentioned but, due diligence, I will anyway. Wave defenses: it would very entertaining if they could be observed with being a participant.

[stone isle]

What is this Wave Defense? It seems more geared towards 40+ players than it does 30+. If feel if any testing on this was done it was done with the top percentage of players in mind only.

[vocal abyss]

Lvl 30 here, can kill the first 2 borg hostiles and that's it

[crimson bolt]

I have reasonable sized ships and can barely do 3 rounds in waves. It’s nuts

[serene jetty]

In need of help with (a) crews for WDef and (b) how to spend talaron

[charred hill]

Wave Defense is a fail when game keeps crashing. FIX THE GAME FIRST!!!!

[novel mango]

😂 they can’t hear you they are working on next feature to keep the whales spending.

[sharp iris]

@wanton copper I really like the new Wave Defence, it just needs the lag and targeting hostiles fixed the delay between this is to long, sometime the attack wont initiate and you keep clicking, also delay from switching at speed from one ship to the other is delayed for the pop up box to appear, all these need to be rethought in this environment.

I have had to many waves were I have joined and ships site idle, who knows if they DC or in combat, You need to allow the star system and in internal comms for players that joined like AC but maybe WAVE CHAT.

The hostile strength are a lot higher than normal FKR systems and the balance needs to be looked at, also their speed is stupidly fast, we lag or ships stuck we are destroyed with no way back from it and the directives wasted, battle ships really struggle in this environment, even interceptors with impulse boost on, cant catch up with the hostiles, it needs looked at to allow the chance in early waves to be completed, I appreciate its meant as a challenge, but if its not fixed people will give up on the feature.

A pre warning of the incoming targets on screen would be good like radar, as we all know star ships have the ability to identify in advance who's incoming, so it would be great to see this on the screen splash with a count down like 10 seconds, so everyone can asses the incoming targets and get ships moving in the direction of probes, swarm, apex, DQ etc that are incoming and their direction, as you cant click the ships on the outbound screen and by the time they enter you just have to kill what's their.

Other than the few minor tweaks its a great addition to the game, and I do hope you take the feedback on board.

[novel mango]

Needs some level 30 systems.

[lunar jay]

Ugh. Wave Defense is utter nonsense. Scopely, you bill the game as being able to be played solo, so why do you inject a mechanic that CANNOT be played solo?

Why do you feel it necessary to FORCE players to cooperate with others? Lots of us don't really want to.

Fix the mechanic, or get rid of it.

[meager moss]

Stfc, can u fix lag and ships stuck in battle in wave defenses. Plus hostils get to powerful starting in wave 3.

[lunar jay]

Maybe someone isn't entering the code in time.
4 8 15 16 23 42

[steep ridge]

@wanton copper I see that you have been swamped with tags already and my suggestions have prob already been brought up earlier but feel I should bring it up nonetheless.

I really like wave defence and the new faction yall brought out. Theres tons of stuff in there which improves functionality and sourcing. Really, kudos for this as I think this is the best update in a long time. And its a great balance of yall making money whilst we can enjoy the game.

Not going to mention the issues with lag and general problems cuz Im sure yall are aware already.

My input on wave defence is that its too hard. It seems based on earlier states rather than all states. What I mean is that the newer states, as the one Im currently in which is pretty old still, most of my alliance mates (in the nr 1 alliance) cant do anything in there. And carrying people doesnt really seem to make a big change in the amount of waves done.

I think its a great feature, just a question of scaling. Would be good with a smaller area adapted for lower levels but the power lvls still need to be adjusted even for the existing ones.

I would also highly appreciate it if there was a proper mechanic around it so the starter can kick people because right now its pretty problematic with people joining just to get carried through a few rounds. They dont do anything in there and one cant get rid of them.
Maybe an option to create a party before starting it?

[torpid saddle]

All the above suggestions are important but IF at the minimum one could preview who is already in before committing that would bridge a large gap.(wave defence)

[winged goblet]

By clicking on the thingie in the middle of the battle system you can view who has joined

[lean prawn]

I agree with this. Even the lower level waves are too difficult. Reds move in way too fast to be able to zoom in and assess what types they are to effectively target probes/actian/swarm, etc with the correct type of ship. The annoying bug where your ship gets locked in combat when attacking too close to the center base really breaks the wave mechanic. Maybe adding in some waypoints that the reds need to route too first would be a good option, or just slow them down some. Also put in a 30s timer between wave spawns so we can reset our ships at the edge.

[torpid saddle]

Yes AFTER you've joined. My point was to see it from outside the system

[winged goblet]

I can see that a lot of people might like the Wave Defense addition (I am not one of them. Too chaotic, difficulty way too high, and just more junk I’ll never play unless forced to). My biggest concern is in having 3 battle passes and associated events running simultaneously makes it very hard to keep track of everything. It’s bad enough I missed events last arc because the BPs moved into a tab I forget to look at, but now to layer in a third BP is just ridiculous.

[lean prawn]

Another concern I have is that we are completely overloaded on daily grinds and things to do. It was already that way before the borg cube was released and now waves. I remember in late 2022 scopley came out with a roadmap for 2023 that included "finding ways to reduce the daily grinds". They introduced freebooters to alleviate this problem. That cut down on about 3 grinds by being able to hit freebooters. The problem is that they've added about 6 more grinds since then, making the grinding problem much worse than it was in 2022. borg probes, mantis, voyager, borg cube, waves, solo armadas, borg armadas, plus all of the mining - clat, iso, mats, etc. That's just the daily stuff that needs to be done not including events. It's too much.

[wide dune]

Few suggestions:
Slow the wave downs or shorten the fight animations
Categorize the hostiles so we can bring appropriate ships/crews to appropriate areas
Let WD kills count towards dailies IE killing a swarm counts toward daily swarm goal

Cool idea, just needs some fixes. I agree with some of the others that state this is way too much stuff going on. I already have a full time job.

[lean prawn]

would be nice if wave hostiles dropped loot according to their type. Maybe more than their same level counterparts in the respective systems. I.e. be able to hit borg probes during a wave and stock up on a lot of nanoprobes

[dim hare]

Adding a mechanic allowing players to pick and choose who is in their wave defense will prevent anyone under 40 from being able to participate. It will further destroy smaller alliances as they tend to only have a couple 50+. Carrying the 30s is going to get old real quick and they will eventually leave to join a large alliance. who can blame them.

[coarse hare]

We need some group control or at least organize/limit it per alliance. Give a bit more team between beams so we can position us at the correct side with the most appropriate ships.

[high aurora]

I certainly hope the waves are not every day for the BP. Most folks can only get to wave 3 or 4 in 1 run. 2x per day is not sustainable with the sourcing

[jaunty ingot]

again, no balance for the level 30 ops. just add a level 30 area too, you have 40's & 50's. Most of your player base quit before hitting 30, now the 30's get more screwed over? maybe your business continuation model should be looked at. making content aimed at the highest levels at the expense of others will not make people spend money. and dont start with the battle simulator was added for low levels, thats a game introduction thing not 30's ops.

[deep halo]

@wanton copper no comp chest for yesterday disaster?

[hard sentinel]

There was great potential in a wave defense mechanic but this is horribly executed. There is no way for anyone below 50 to make it through all the waves unless we stop hitting all hostiles at some point and hope the others can handle them all. Brackets should have been 5 level difference and maybe instance the systems so there isn't so many systems needed. Hostiles scale far too quickly so either drop hostile power or cut total waves to 5. There needs to be a lobby with isolated chat to communicate ship choices with the randoms. Very poor design overall and not fun at all. Just wasting repair resources for not much gain.

[spark trail]

There should only be a ship limit, not a player limit. I don't think it's fair that we NEED others to complete a single wave. We should be able to send as many ships as we can until the limit is reached.

Discovery Section 31 refit should be in Section 31 faction store.

[fast plover]

is there just the one holodeck mission from this arc? Getting rep is a joke for sec 31 so Wave's are just stupid without the favours well they are stupid hard anyway. Unless packs are bought

[novel mango]

@wanton copper any word on the broke mission?

[untold pelican]

all hostile ships force should be divided by 10, starting wave1, so we could have a little bit of fun...II can only kill w1 borg probes, for wave2 it's insanely 5x stronger... Well it's absolutely unbalanced.

[steep sierra]

i complete mission now, buged npc have full health and can be killed again

[vivid cargo]

Seems now some player going against the wave event, bringing only one ship and small powered ones....

[fast plover]

to what end though?

[vivid cargo]

Do not know, make it fail / break the experience of other / some kind of strike ?

[cursive musk]

so out of balance the wave is. hostiles should have their power lvls lowered to what they are in normal space, then everyone could have a chance at least

[fast plover]

agreed

[lean prawn]

starter needs the ability to kick randos who show up. trying to get further into the waves, then a tiny level 31 or 32 player shows up and ruins the show. Also need more lower level wave systems so the smaller guys can still participate.

[dim hare]

What level are they? If they cant even kill one ship then bringing their largest only to be destroyed and provide no help to the group is kind of pointless and only results in their getting a large repair bill and time. It sucks but I kinda see why they do it.

[vivid cargo]

Some also can not play with 2 ships, got one who left one of his ship on the side until the first died

[dim hare]

and here in lies the problem $copley... your alienating the lower levels and its only going to get worse and cost you more players. If you don't want randos Orion I suggest organizing group in your alliance. And yes you can manage it, our alliance has been doing it for quite some time.

[vivid cargo]

46... in "low lvl" wave system, small ship even less power than mine at lvl 37 and only one ship

[lean prawn]

already tried that 2 times. we get 3 other alliance members plus myself show up, and a random 31 player pops in and won't leave

[dim hare]

Yea that can be frustrating, however its equally frustrating for the 31 who really has no choice.

[bright tide]

new wave defence is great fun but how can they say its for lvl 31+ players? lookm at the power of the fed rom and klingon ships that come out they are more powerful than much higher ships of that lvl by a long way which means any player without a decent lvl 34 ship is just going to end up getting wasted. ok not an issue for me at lvl 52 but i have two or three in my alliance eitber with a new lvl 34 ship or still not at lvl 34 yet, they thought lvl 28 ships that thesystems say they have should be easy but they are more like lvl 40+ ships from the game so they are avoiding the event and wave defence when they are supposed to be able to take part. i know they get points if they die and we kill tghe waves but the other event is points for killing the hostiles which they cant so whats the point

[lean prawn]

I get it, that's why scopley needs to introduce some lower level system so all can participate. anyone under 49 without decently strong ships don't really stand a chance or are able to contribute with even these level 40 waves.

[round flume]

For the Waves, there is a need to get the lvl cap lower, for players below 40.... it is undoable for most players in lvl 30-39, they only can do 2 hostiles and they are done.... Maybe another System around lvl 30 with hostiles from 24 - 38 or so

[pale flume]

on a capped server..only about 10% of server can even complete one wave...but everyone needs to play....horrible idea.

[fluid gulch]

Feedback for defenses: so far I’m a fan of the idea, but it needs to be tweaked. The hostiles are way too fast for starters. It’s impossible to distinguish what ship type is coming and which ship I should use at the speed they’re coming in.
We should be able to click on the ‘out of bounds’ reds to at least see what they are. Don’t have to be able to attack them, but see what they are.
If a Defense has been started, I’d like to see who started it and who’s joined already before I join.
I know the lvl 40s are supposed to be for lvl 30-60 players, but if a lvl 63, 59, 56, 49 and 46 can’t finish all 10 lvl they might be too strong.
Split up the toughness of these or the lvl 48ish and below will lose interest and you’re going to end up with another “waste of time you spent creating something” like starbase assaults that nobody does….

[alpine widget]

It's only day two, and I'm already annoyed with the prospect of needing to complete five waves of these every day.

[round flume]

even u could do a lvl lock behind this several systems, like brackets, for lvl 20 - 39 and or 40 - up to xxx

[novel mango]

Star base assault was DOA and probably the biggest fail to date.

[carmine cargo]

really am getting fed up with my game crashing every time I engage with 1st hostile in a wave

[subtle oracle]

please more miney game less wave nonces

[hard sentinel]

Another point I haven't seen others make on these waves. We are expected to bring a specialty ship for the special hostiles like apex, swarm, and borg. Our specialty ships are all level locked and they won't hit a higher level hostile even if we have the resources to level them. This is a glaring design flaw that ruins the entire flow of the waves. The waves aren't even fun enough or reward enough to make me even think about leveling earlier than planned so if it was thought to push players to level then it has backfired.

[subtle oracle]

porley tought out the waves and only thing good in new upade is the miney game but need more lvels

[fair lantern]

The lower level players are being pulverized by this event. There are two elements completing the waves and an event that requires a certain number of ship kills. I'm seeing them joining even when they don't want to try to complete the second event. For the most part it looks like they can kill a couple of survey vessels and the first wave easy vessels then they're toast. It's unfair to them because they are penalized and now there's bad blood because the bigs feel they're being brought down. Why aren't there lower level versions of the systems where they can adequately complete and possibly enjoy it?

[uneven jolt]

This new wave feature is very nice. But would be nice to have the opportunity to select how you like to join you or kick someone out to control how join and not join. Also some way to communicate like a help button to indicate were you need help like a compass/clock devices. Something too easy communicate.

[high obsidian]

The Wave Defense definitely needs a way to see who has started the defense so we know if it is a group someone can join in on and allow us to nudge people out to make room for those we want to have in.

Also, Dosier 2: Damage control step 5 - REALLY? Must you force people to survive 1 wave of a 50 Wave Defense? That's kind of a waste of WD currency for people who can't handle it. For a level 40 mission, it does require big people willing to sacrifice their time and effort for a low reward to help the lower level players with hardly decent ships to complete the first wave. (And I literally am one of the ones who died just engaging two ships with my two ships on the very first wave at Ops Level 48, no less) This is not what I would consider 'reasonable' introduction to the Wave Defense.

[ocean furnace]

So the Meridian BP's are in the store, but I don't see an ISO warp interlock there. So if you get another meridian through the store you can only level it up to tier 3?

[runic quartz]

you can buy one in the territory store for 4k isoemulsion - I know because I wasn't paying attention one day buying my daily particles and bought one by accident lol

[mild glacier]

These waves are going to need some kind of gatekeeping system. You can plan and carefully organize a team but it’s pointless when low level randos immediately jump in and screw you over. Just had 2 alliance mates spend 10 minutes organizing defense teams and both of them got stuck with 4 level 35-39 players within a second or two of starting. They all died on round one and nobody got any points toward the event. Total waste. Ppl are already talking about ignoring that content.

[lament robin]

The problem with waves is that low levels can't compete. These hostiles are a lot more powerful than they should be. But we

[sharp thistle]

Using a 31m Kelvin with decent hostile crew, get to round 4/5 and I'm losing so much hull, it's very poorly balanced, lower ops players through no fault of their own, can't do much

[alpine widget]

Plus (in part because of the difficulty level), some specialty ships are useless except with their particular hostile (ex: Franklin-A). So if you bring it, you pretty much have a wasted ship spot except for the 10% of the time it's the right ship for the job.

[ember fulcrum]

As a mid-30s player, the wave defense arc is impossible. I do not have enough speedups to finish the event, and its horrible execution certainly doesn't entice me to spend money to buy more. In fact, it makes me just want to quit. The direction this game is headed is very disappointing as only whales can have fun and benefit. No wonder my server is mostly empty. I keep holding out in hopes of a turn around, but this arc may be my last.

[empty robin]

As Ops 31 I have a maxed out Sally. I regularly am able to kill 20+ lvl 39-40 veteran faction miners and patrol ships. Why then was the wave defense coded to show level lvl 28s (which are ELEVEN LEVELS LOWER) as 4 million plus power and completely unkillable by my Sally? Who's idea was it to catfish and market to us lower levels that we too could do wave defense?
It is just one thing after another that is the middle finger to anyone who has played less then a year... If you read your feedback at all you will realize how terribly you messed up devs.

[fluid gust]

with the wave defences you really need a mixed teams for the lower levels to contribute.

we've been having fun with teams of 2-3 ops40+ players with ships ranging from 8-21m, and ops 30-39 players focusing on swarm/borg/actians with their corresponding specialty ship.

also, you can bring in a support ship like cerritos or titan-A to give some ships a boost and then swap it out for a warship.

but you do have to temper your expectations, a good run for us is beating wave 3.
gives enough credits to be useful, and 2 runs clear the events.

[dark horizon]

with wave defense, they are just trying to force people to buy into getting the "favors" fast. it is super imbalanced, and i wish my ops 40 ships were the strength of the hostiles that show up in there

[empty robin]

I think my favorite part of the whole thing is that the borg cube they just gave us to be "so useful" as we level with it, is completely useless in this...

[woeful drum]

How about a lvl 35 system for WD that actually lets < ops 41 players be competitive? At least until people can start leveling up their Facade building.

[ripe sierra]

These waves would be better if they didn’t cause the game to crash EVERY SINGLE TIME

[deep yoke]

Why can't I get past battlesim stage 1 when I destroy it

[keen egret]

You have to restart the game to get to the next level of the sim.

[polar dune]

I am level 40 and all my buildings are level 40 but I am surprised that this ship not in the event story

[wanton anvil]

Scopely needs to flood the game with section 31
Cyphers. If they want to foster cooperation between players, there should be no penalty for engaging in wave defense. But sadly they won’t… so lower level players will be left out again.

[hearty echo]

Kicking people out will be chaotic and very upsetting to most players who don’t have a group of people or an alliance that helps. It is better to allow private Wave Defenses or Alliance Wave Defenses instead of kicking people out when they have already spend their tokens. People just want to have fun and enjoy. We don’t want small players to feel rejected.

[cedar lily]

@hearty echo on a side note if you leave before it starts you get your tokens back I would assume with kick function it would be the same.

[celest ore]

@wanton copper So from Hwy, we are finding that this wave defence is fun overall.. but no one can survive more than 2 or 3 waves. When we see hostiles that are supposed to be lvl 28 that have an over all power of over 5 mil...then these are way too overpowered. Then the very next wave we have lvl 32 at over 56 mil in power. That is truly insane. No player who is lvl 30 would be able to even scratch the paint. I get its supposed to be challenging but this is going to soon turn into something no one will participate in because they only get 1 or 2 waves and then are destroyed. The hostile strength needs to be re adjusted.

[hearty echo]

It will end up like the Q Trials. No one does that anymore. I only spend the tokens to get resources to build the Q Court

[celest ore]

I agree. It was fun until the power didn't match the lvls. Don't say a ship is lvl 32 and then give it a lvl 50 power. Make two systems. One for the higher ultra powerful and the other for the rest of us.

[final viper]

can anyone say way to OP for a level 30 player

[celest ore]

Very much so. Lvl 28s should have a power of under 200k. I understand making it a challenge but that's the whole idea of multiple ships and multiple waves and not being able to repair in between.

[hearty echo]

Looking at the easy group of systems (40), we can see clearly that they are ALL level 40. The 15 systems have the same level.

Brainstorming here: We could have 3 systems with the same level, and 5 different difficulties like 30lv, 33lv, 36lv, 38lv, and 40lv. Each of them with their own tier of rewards.

[final viper]

just a big Joke

[celest ore]

That could work but the power of the hostiles needs to be addressed. No player who is lvl 30 can touch a hostile with a power starting at 5 mil

[hearty echo]

I am level 30 and I can actually kill 3 Hostiles with 5 million in power at the Wave Defense with Gorkon on my Saladin. However, you are right, I think these systems are made for players level 40, not for us below level 30. I do like that they include us smalls on it, though. I hope they can create more option of difficulties. Like why not a Wave Defense that is only Swarms? Or Borg? We will see. This is the first week of this new feature, I am sure more it is to come. I hope they read my suggestions lol. It would be nice to feel heard.

[celest ore]

I'm at lvl 40. I can survive 2 waves. Once I'm hitting ships with 17 mil or greater power its too much even crewed for hostiles. The concept is sound. The idea that even a powerful players ship can be taken down by many ships in multiple wave with out repairing in-between, is the challenge. There is no need to over power a hostile so only the players at lvl 59 and 60 could complete the wave in a lvl 40 system.

[bitter field]

the Wave is a good concept and could be fun but a level 34 Interceptor should not be over 40M power regardless of ship and crew most 35 and under players wont have much chance beyond round 1 1/2 even with help from level 60 players

[dense hollow]

Waves are not working. The hostiles are just way over powered meaning that the most rounds ive attended as been 2. Also freeboating by players means that in many cases round one is not being won. The fact that by being there they score a victory if a wave is won means tbey just dont bother and hope others will do the work for them. Id sooner see the bounty hunters for too low rep attacks increased to stop auto grinding and these dropped in power to give people a chance to complete also some way of stopping freeloaders from gaining the credits for the win unless they make a contribution

[bitter field]

Not to mention the problems with getting stuck in battle and the lag

[elfin nest]

Wave Defense is a joke. It's not for lower level players. I can barely make it through wave 2 with T5 Ent and D4. The hostiles are way too powerful.

[rough ravine]

The graphic in the Section 31 faction store for the Section 31 Transmitters to upgrade the Facade is the exact same thumbnail graphic as the Sloan Skill point upgrade... spent 2800 section 31 points before I figured out that I bought the wrong thingies. Thanks Scopely.

[high obsidian]

But also noted is that there are groups who are trying to organize a Wave Defense, like the WD 50s (Near Bravo) but have it ruined because someone random Low level jumps in. The cost to do a WD hits each person, and if they are trying to do a good run, it is literally wasting spots and currency.

[devout dirge]

So while I understand this Wave Defence is meant to be challenging I really believe there should be two difficulties at least. Call one normal and the other heroic. Better rewards yielded from heroic obviously and tougher. I don't mind the strategy of having specialty ship hostiles in the mix. It makes you plan. But at the moment it's hard to plan without a lock system. You should have another chat for the party of 5 for communication. More times than not I've had a player literally do nothing in the party or bring only 1 ship. Please make this a fun and rewarding activity and not forget about it before we move onto the next thing.

[spare patrol]

I've finially figured out the point of Wave Defence! It's so we stop complaining about Formation Armadas and pine for more Formada events!

[lean basalt]

took a group of all 55+ to make it to wave 9 on the "level 40" defense. I get that it's a new event and there are buffs we haven't unlocked yet but jeez. if I were a newer player I'd be a little annoyed. That said I'm enjoying it but it needs some serious tuning.

[ashen heath]

The calendar for this event month looks pretty empty. Last year there were 3-4 events each day to earn event currency. I got over a million in the end. Looking at this one I am pretty sure I will stay well below 500k this year. DISAPPOINTING!

[molten marlin]

they've been reducing the event store currency and increasing the pack output, gotta bleed that stone.

[solar sand]

Sopely...how are you supposed to do the events at 30 if you can't do the ships in the waves event! Didn't you make the ships a little too strong?! So the game is not fun but rather frustrating... I'm fresh to level 30 and can't manage any of the ships. Only the small freighters... how am I supposed to get all the points?!

[elfin crag]

I'm sorry, I didn't read the posts above, maybe this issue has already been discussed, I have a complaint, dear scopely, you just need to do in these base defenses "set priority stars" for the starter player, everything is exactly the same as in all united armadas , the starter sees in the chat who is in the queue, the player gets a place and a star, and who did not have time and does not get a place, and thus it is not clear which of the other players get into the station’s defense, or he can also choose someone else’s player by giving him a star, and also if the starter player launches the “defend” key in the alliance chat, the coordinates should immediately be displayed that the defense has started and the zone is occupied and there are 10 minutes for the alliance players to join, now there is a mess, absurdity, complete nonsense in actions, and because of this There is absolutely no interest in playing these defenses, maybe somehow by chance you will see the text of this claim - and you will make beautiful management of your innovation , 🖖😉🔆 ,

[viral minnow]

Can you add please to the officer event store: Harry Kim and Belena Torres not just Neelix, thanks.

[cursive musk]

Waves a complete failure. The power levels do not match the ships and there is nothing to give you the boost you need to compete.

[hasty falcon]

I don't have much hope that Scopley will read this and accept the criticism.
But I hope that as few people as possible have bought the corresponding Battlepass and that Scopley realises that something is wrong and adjusts it as quickly as possible.

[celest ore]

@wanton copper another complaint about wave defence is that to upgrade the facade you need tokens from the faction store. To get the token, you need to be up to the second tier in the faction store. To get to the 2nd teir in the faction store you need to participate in the wave defence to get the rewards to buy the reputation points. To participate in the wave defence you need to be powerful enough to make it through waves. Unfortunately the wave hostiles are massively overpowered. So... do you see the problem here? There is no mechanism for any player under lvl 55 to actually make meaningful progress here.

[rancid fractal]

Game is too laggy for a game like wave defence.

[copper scroll]

Anyone done more than one lv50 wave in bravo and still no change in the mission?

[lean prawn]

After a day of a dozen + waves, here's my feedback: 1 - Slow the incoming reds down. They come in so fast, even with max impulse research, kirk's impulse active ability, and speed crew loaded on one ship, it's really difficult to see what types of hostiles they are and target accordingly. 2 - Put in a 30s cooldown between waves to allow ships a chance to reset at the edge of the system again before the next wave. 3 - Give the starter the ability to kick players who join, but keeping in mind that the kicked players get a refund of their currency spent. 4 - Introduce lower level wave systems for players below 49 or 50 so they have a chance. 5 - Allow reds in wave systems to drop their respective loot.

[acoustic magnet]

would be great if officers like torres and co would get added to event store 😀

[vernal crag]

Here's how the 🌊 goes - the time it took to restart it was over - can't participate - my Internet is fine sense I'm posting here

[static spade]

Wave start when you reach ops 30, but no way an ops 30 can do it, your only choice is to sit in and piggy back off someone's else effort. They do all the work you reek the rewards... Now imagine 5 lvl 30's join their not gonna even last 10 secs ..... , bring out a lvl 30 system, you have 40 & 50 why not 30? Considering it starts at 30 ops. Ops 30 piggybacking is good for them...but no one wants a freeloader in their party

[bitter field]

Frustrated with the Wave? Buy more packs! $$$$

[dim hare]

Kindly note that we are currently experiencing an increased volume of requests and the waiting time might reach up to 72 hours (ROFL, right). We want to thank you for your understanding and patience. Sorry this reply was supposed to be to @rapid quail lol

[bitter summit]

Event store... where's voyager? where's janeway? Where's officers we just didn't have?

[dim hare]

you can get Voyager bps in the refinery

[abstract sedge]

is it ever gonna be more than 1BP per day?

[bitter summit]

you can also get the other ships BPs too, like titan and defiant. So why not voyager? Oh, because it's useful and good and they need to sell it, or spend hours every day grinding

[abstract sedge]

ok so no matter which OPS level or research it's just 1 per day. Lucky me that i already got 4 BPs only 96 days left 🤣

[marble sierra]

https://i.imgur.com/0321F2U.png cause screw ppl with battleships ?

[dim hare]

yep - poodoo event

[thorny wedge]

This is incredibly frustrating - at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the wave defenses I am in, one of my ships gets stuck in this "in battle" state, in this case my Voyager. It has nearly full health, but I can't use it.

[royal bramble]

Too laggy to open the start screen much less anything else

[south tundra]

Same actually survived one wave on the 40+ near bravo and mission did not advance…

[mild glacier]

Having these wave formations as part of the battlepass is BAD. One low level random can ruin an entire attempt on round one and nobody gets any points.

[karmic sapphire]

Ships getting stuck in battle and can't do anything. More times than not, we can not complete waves because we get stuck.. I sure hope they have a large chest to replenish the Ciphers it consumes.. Overall has great potential to be a good arc, but needs work

[cedar lily]

Id like the waves to be more intermingled so if you picked a side there not all anti triangle lol

[vernal isle]

Working as intended

[novel mango]

STFC lag free pack now only $ 99,99!

[sand lintel]

I think the "Listen to my suggestions and fix what I want fixed" pack starts at $15K USD

[manic estuary]

This is a request to dispose of the wave events. I'll leave it up to your imagination as to what location orientation and force I think you should use.

[sinful heart]

If you are using battleships there, well, you’re wrong atm. Until you get some speed upgrades, battleships are a liability, no matter how strong. Due to how slow they are.

[fair lantern]

So now whenever one of our littles joins a wave defense many bigs that can actually carry it are often canceling. Don't get me wrong, I understand their reasoning. Nevertheless, we don't have that many bigs or enough ciphers to carry our whole team and compete. It's really demoralizing them. Come on Scopely tweak it. The simplest thing to do is make the first round much easier. The bigs always win that and if the littles can hit enough vessels their, they can complete their daily vessel hits.

[fluid gust]

kuron can help, or snw crew with una, kirk as station commander with impulse boost set is a must.

but like that, i've been able to consistently clear all explorers in a wave using a battleship.
kuron even being optional.

[austere mortar]

loot makes a ship slower. i’d rather no loot at all and keep my ship as fast as possible. Wait… or was that just warp speed and not impulse … now i can’t remember

[woven grove]

That only affects warp speed. Currently nothing in the game affects impulse speed other than increasing it.

[coarse hare]

Don't combine armada and hostile shooting events your game is too instable to handle the load

[peak meteor]

I love the wave hostiles. Very surprised about it. 😂 has few bugs. But would love a group chat for only the 5 in the wave defense. Would make it so much easier to game plan. But not at the cost of more lag. Got to work on that also.

Maybe disable chat once battle goes live.

[fluid gust]

giving us 100 of the currency to join a wave defence is not enough.
it'll be outright impossible for anyone in my alliance to keep up with the battlepass with that little.
we need to be able to do 2 a day at minimum just to cover the battlepass requirements, and that's only for the higher levels and whoever manages to tag along.

[river merlin]

this is why you should probably not buy the battlepass day 1

[prisma schooner]

At least no one is complaining about Incursions anymore. 🙃

[fluid gust]

this is why i didn't buy the wave defence and territory passes yet.
wanted to see if they could actually be completed first.

@prisma schooner what incursions?

[small narwhal]

Wait till they do the battleship version tomorrow 🤣

[pine inlet]

@wanton copper it't unplayable from day one, we wasting credits again. How is scopely going to compensate for this nonsense?

[mint finch]

Hey at least your ships aren’t stuck in combat 🤣

[pine inlet]

Not on this screenshot but everyone is stuck all the time. Waste of credits but scopely keeps quite like everything was ok

[sharp abyss]

Waves Feedback:

1. Stuck in Combat - Cmon this is old crap. Fix it once and for all.
2. Game crashes during Waves. Again. Fix this crap.
3. 1 Join a day is not enough. Seriously. Get a grip.
4. Make it Alliance based not anyone who decides to jump in. We don’t need a multi alliance building exercise.

[sinful heart]

I will be okay, I can speed crew a Vor’Cha but it’s gonna hurt everyone else lol

[vast ferry]

Well game stayed up long enough to do the mission and open the wave defense. Only took 3 days. Getting better scopely. Good job!!! But since I couldn’t even kill a single ship please tell me why I would even bother with this 💩?

[tired zodiac]

Since this sliegh ride started for this Defense nonsense I have been able to scoe a whopping 200 points because I cannot join or start.

[austere pendant]

Don't like the wave defense its is stupid, it is pointless for players under 40 and if you do get involved in a battle the hostile is some ridicules strength that you might as well be using a plastic straw blowing chewed up wads of toilet paper 🧻 at it. As for the super low strength surveyors they are few and far between, if you wait for them to come along that alien 👽 can kiss it's ass goodbye. Would you please lower the strength levels on the hostiles in the Wave Defense they are way to high that's if you want it to more popular with STFC players.

[plush roost]

@wanton copper @storm ridge Guys, please check the expiration date of these items, I am pretty sure they are not good to eat anymore. 🤢

[mild glacier]

If we are going to have time dependent things like wave defense then game stability needs to DRAMATICALLY INCREASE. Every single player crashes at least once during every defense. All hands active 100% of the time is necessary. Crashes need to stop.

[half panther]

So now you're taking an already unbalanced, poorly designed game mechanic that is so far past difficult that it is not even approaching fun, and now you're hobbling players that couldn't compete already by having an sms excluding 1/3 of the ships? What the actual f are you people thinking? How did anyone think any of this garbage was a good idea?

[knotty condor]

make a way to star people in wave defense

[wraith zephyr]

a few notes on wave defense:

• they're far too difficult, the scaling is incredibly bad. they should be possible to complete with good coordination. For enemies that are "38-52", I should be able to manage killing them past wave 5. as it stands, G5s are required to finish even the lvl 40 wave defenses
• the specialty ships are required but quickly become useless after they kill their assigned targets. the scaling issue exists here as well, I have a maxed Talios (for ops 46) and it dies against borg probes on like wave 4/10
• there are too many ships that all arrive to the target at the same time. waves should be staggered more. with the time it takes to complete combat, it's far too easy to be overwhelmed, especially after the "weaker" players get bodied by enemies they SHOULD be able to kill
• there NEEDS to be a way for the leader to kick people
• with all of these problems, it's demoralizing and frustrating to run an impossible mission for such small rewards, and the higher level players are fatigued (and low on credits) after being asked to carry people all day.

It's a GREAT concept but as it stands, no one wants to play them because there's no possibility of winning unless your entire group is massively "overpowered"

[harsh tapir]

Game crashed twice during one wave run. 😢

[halcyon elm]

Please drop wave defense as a requirement for completing events. It takes way too much time on top of a game that already is all time consuming. Thx

[floral quarry]

Wave defense is impressively bad implementation.

1. The game crashes frequently, with a time sensitive game mechanic this is a big issue.

2. Anyone can join, I have no interest in the random draw of players who may or may not contribute. It's one thing to help carry my lower level alliance mates...it's completely another to carry someone else's.

3. It's practically impossible to coordinate or communicate to increase our chances of going further in the event because random players can join.

4. The hostile scaling is a huge issue. I'm not the biggest on my server, but our issue is the lower players have little ability to help, once again decreasing our longevity in the event.

I know you guys need to make money, and at one time I was happy to help with that. However, I've stopped putting money in the game because it's increasingly becoming more frustrating to play. I want this game to be great...I once enjoyed playing it. Now I'm just playing to stay in contact with a few friends I've made along the way. That has it's limits though...

[pseudo coral]

In regards to waves, there are other issues too.

1. On a mobile phone it's very hard to target when crowded

2. With even marginal delay, it becomes unresponsive if 2 players go for same target

3. For anyone around level 35, it's not much fun. You can use a mantis to take out a few. If lucky, you might have a 5 mill enterprise for a few more.

4. You have to remember where the waves start from. I'm not playing it enough to care what side I need to be placed at.

5. Impulse is so SLOW for the speed of the enemies

6. Not worth anyone's time currently. Need a batch of free tokens daily as opposed to trying to extort more. Could have been a fun event to play with randoms if more accessible both by level/tokens to play

[flint geyser]

The wave event should only allow same level or higher players join, currently its a joke, and there needs be be more levels

also massive lag and not going to target after selected

[austere creek]

HEY, I’ve been begging to get my strike teams tiered up 🤨

[ripe sierra]

I can kill level 40-41 FKR hostiles no problem, dailies grind is a breeze, but in Waves if the first level 28 or 30 “FKR” doesn’t kill me, the next one does. That’s when the game doesn’t crash as soon as the attack starts.

I’m done with this Wave defense bs. And as this seems to be a new anchor weighing down the game, I’m done with this game.

[olive spear]

How about random spawning spots in waves? Its already very boring as being same every time.

@wanton copper - Game has been super glitchy and laggy and bug filled. We even struggled to get Formation armadas to fire last night. It is not a very fun game to play at the moment.

Wave Defense: Yet Another Stick In The Eye to solo players.
Come on, Scopely. Stop alienating players.

[mint cobalt]

Really like the wave defense. The only thing is that it does take a lot of active screen time and makes it harder to complete other daily tasks.

[dim hare]

the amount of people joining and not actually doing anything shows your statement to be partially true... or it could be its the new q-Trials and people are just clicking for completion and not actually doing it

So now we have to restart after joining / creating an armada in order to view armada a second time or star people.... and constantly getting check internet connection... I'm jacked in and getting 1.7g down and 1.3g up... scratch that, cant even log in now

[sand lintel]

suggestion to the scopely overlords..... if you cant get the game working correctly for today with things like:

• lag
• armada join button has a spinning wheel of death

DONT MAKE US DO A WEEKEND OF ARMADAS

until you get Krap under control

....just a thought

but, you probably have your own agenda of making us spend wildly this weekend 😦

Why after buying half the required shards for the Sarcophagus cloak does it disappear from the event store?

Maybe they will put ciphers in the store soon? Then bigs can buy more ciphers. Problem solved

[vague mantle]

Awesome. Can’t complete.

[pseudo coral]

Formation Alpha sms is ludicrous. 50 points when using an interceptor or explorer to kill something. How do players around level 35 do this? Give me a 100 tokens and a week, based on dead after 1 round with those ships and others going for same things. I need 1500 points😅

[north oar]

Guys there will be adjustments to the wave hostiles... Only after this season so the cc whales can have their moment of topping the slb's

[novel mango]

Yeah just eating one start a day is a joke for us low 30s.

[dark horizon]

when you (ops 46) get in a defense with 4 55+ and they promptly message you to gtfo of that defense ....

[simple jungle]

This game is sooooo fantastic....

[sand lintel]

any ETA on when the retrieving events might be populated with useful information??? or should I expect it when you fix all those bugs that have been present for 4+ years?

[novel mango]

@wanton copper all event to day a for retrieving, but retrieving what?

[jolly musk]

Days isnt very accurate. Should be hours or minutes really

[bitter field]

Matters not to me, my 2 main ships are stuck in a non stop wave event

[queen hearth]

new ticket format sucks.

[high aurora]

Excellent move in reducing the Wave Defence event from 5 waves to 3 waves. That will let most g3 players complete it in 1, maybe 2 runs instead of probably 3

[harsh nexus]

It took me 5. I have yet to get past the first wave.

[manic estuary]

Still "retrieving" , what a shock!!

[high aurora]

You must have the worse group RNG ever.....If nobody joins your group, just leave the zone before the timer starts and try another one. What's your ops level?

[versed grotto]

@wanton copper why are tickets unavailable in webstore during ticket events?

[fluid gust]

not so sure about that.
alliance members are saying they only got credit for 1 wave in the event, despite surviving 2 waves.

[limber shuttle]

Today its reduce from 5 to 3 because there are no other events related to it 😉
when next SMS/SLB runs expect it to be 5 again

[pure hearth]

hope we get a 30 wave system soon

[gloomy estuary]

even event store pay outs not worth doing the waves

[limber shuttle]

<@&509691205798592532> Can you please ask why there is no offering for tickets in the shop at the moment?

[past fossil]

Should be coming up soon

[sullen willow]

Comp chest...seriously!? For all the broken rubbish we've put up with, getting a week chest as compensation? Absolutely terrible. An insult.

[burnt granite]

Good comp chest. Well done, Scopely.

[vague mantle]

Chests are useless if you can’t use your ships

[little plover]

@wanton copper the current lag is making the game impossible to play on Android when is scopely going to take it seriously

[modern compass]

I second this post. I am a strong level 34 and I cannot even kill 1 lvl 28 wave hostile and have resorted to getting by on the power of bigger . The powers of the hostiles are hugely skewed. It is very frustrating.

[vast garnet]

Is S31 probing my phone, or why can I cook an egg on my phone after doing a wave defense?

[cinder crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/im-stuck-stuck-trapped-superstore-send-help-gif-15692145

[bitter field]

The Scopley tow yard - did you make your ship payments? Buy More Packs $$$$$

[fierce sonnet]

Not sure if it’s already been mentioned, but the power numbers and actual strength of the wave hostiles is way out of alignment with the rest of the game. Strength of Wave 2 and 3 hostiles in the lower systems (level 28-35) are significantly overpowered. Even attacking within the triangle, appropriate specialty ships, and proper crews, as well as with exos, G4 ships at mid OPS 40 are getting 1 shot

[fluid gust]

unless you're behind on your tiering, mid 40's G4 ships should be able to survive until wave 4 (ship strength around 20m)

it may help to use a titan on your biggest ships and swap it out for a specialty ship just before the first wave starts.
also, if you bring a G4 ship with tal/burning it can take the place of a mantis.

[fierce sonnet]

My G4 does decent on faction hostiles, but like my Frank A is maxed for ops 42, and I have probably like 80% of all research done. One level 35 swarm will take 99% of my hull in like wave 2 or 3

[fluid gust]

might be a crew issue, lower level alliance members have had some success with burning/tal crew on franklin(but then you can't use that crew for actians)
and you don't actually need to take out all the ships, so sometimes it's better to just let the hard ones through.

[fierce sonnet]

What are ideal crews then? For normal swarm I’ve farmed on PMT or with SNW with TLaan

[hardy knoll]

I use Tal crew on one ship and SNW crew on 2nd ship.

[fallow gazelle]

Is it possible to give players who join your wave and do nothing a warning first and for second time they cannot join any wave for 24 hours?

[lethal mango]

My alliance is being held hostage on wave defence by a player that waits for them to be started and joins with 1 half health ship. We have had to start and leave 4 times.

[molten marlin]

Time to kos them

[left marlin]

Dear Overlords, plz remove the bogus limit on the number of Monaveen BP we can purchase in the Event Store. It’s the least you could do after you totally messed up Monaveen sourcing (or lack thereof) through TC, thx 🖖

[muted summit]

Your own words on wave defence - "Selecting the right ships and coordinating with your fellow Commanders will be vital for success."
Yet no features to plan and coordinate a group.

[balmy sky]

Why is there a limit on Monaveen shards? totally sucks.

[celest ore]

Ok, really what is with introducing massively overpowered hostiles. The Texas class. Lvl 40 with a power lever of 42 mil?! Seriously, why can't lvl 40 hostiles be powered so level 40 players can actually defeat them?! This update, between poorly thought out wave defence and now the massively overpowered lvl 40 Texas class ships, has been a complete nightmare. Why even bother labeling a system as lvl 40 if the hostiles in it can't be beat unless you are lvl 50 or better? Is scopely only catering to the higher lvl players? Or have they forgotten that most lvl 40 players don't have g4 or g5 ships?

[little plover]

The wave event is a joke... most players under lvl 41 never survive the 2nd or 3 wave

[cedar lily]

3 is enough.

So it seems like everyone. Actually wants content that is so easy to finish and beat that in the first week they should be pounding thru wave ten. Lol maybe it's a new part of the game that people get better at as they grow. It doesn't take ten waves to do the event. Closer to 3 or 4.

[fallow gazelle]

I actually think they did a great job with this.

Imo you guys complain to much. Instead of complaining use that time and think how to improve and defeat 10 waves. There are many ways for low lvl ships to be effective. Also you can just ask g5 ships players to help carry you. Or just wait till your Facade building is high lvl enough.

[tight elbow]

Facade building doesn't really do anything. Its not gonna allow your 45m ship to kill a 700m fkr hostile. It's not gonna let your t7 talios kill a 1b probe.

What we really need is ciphers in the cash shoppe so we can ask our whales to buy ciphers and make themselves available to carry us

[marble sierra]

after the favors it will be much easier i guess.. and in time ppl will steam roll this content just like anything else

[swift linden]

Also.. nobody has the favors yet. Wait to upgrade thsoe first before the complaining.
From the looks of it: everything below ops 50 is dead if they dont get carried. For the rest its an awesome challenge!
And lower levels can 100% be useful here

[void pulsar]

Server 22 ios ipad 9 played from 6h 50 to 7h45. Game crashed 7 times. Hard to do events like waves when game crashes so often. Please put a priority on fixing game crashes.

[bronze needle]

So this mission is recommended for level 40 players. I'm level 41, took in two 3* rare ships at tier 8 and could not kill 1 ship. Does this not seem wrong to you Scopely!?

[rapid quail]

Agreed; planning ahead and carrying seems ideal. However, cant plan ahead when randoms can jump in grp who are still "learning" and cant/dont know how to help. Cross communication is also important, but very limited in this feature. The idea of only needing 3-4 waves to complete implies that you either A: have a solid grp who can do at least wave 4 in one go (hard to do sometimes with randoms taking spots) or B you have enough dirs to launch multipe wave def, which atm scopely provides enough for 1 daily. BP is only 24hrs so that imposes additional challenges.

[fallow gazelle]

Before you start the waves, you will have 10 minutes to give the group directions, ie. who takes which positions, who is responsible for the surveys ships etc. When I get home, I can post my action plan if you like

[rapid quail]

Cant adapt on the fly using game chat in an active wave, also while our alliance has been carrying smaller teammates, that is going to change. I personnaly would use my directives in a grp with other 40s and complete 2-3 waves rather than wasting them trying to carrying smaller players ships and only get one wave per directive. But hey to each their own, waste em at your leisure . So far our core grp can complete wave 6, aint doing that with anyone sub 40 unless you can get another op player to want to punch down. By the way, i hope you dont take me as being argumentative, its more an excersice in game philisophy for me. I.e
(Me)>>{Truth}<<(You )😎

[rich moss]

well how about helping your smaller players in your group grow?

[rapid quail]

@rich moss Did u read my whole post? Or just cherry pick out of it what u wanted?

[fierce sonnet]

I don’t think people were saying they wanted it to be easy mode. They are saying they want the strength ratings etc to make sense. I kill a 32 without taking a scratch but then a 35 nearly one shots me (ops 42 heavily researched and ships maxed for ops level). Make the power ratings and hostile levels make sense and scale more consistently

[fallow gazelle]

No worries, but like I said before the wave starts you already have given everyone instructions and thus you don't have to use game chat during the wave. It is a really simple 'challenge' compared to Star Trek Online one with the difficulty much higher.

[carmine veldt]

What I find disturbing is that the app closes just before the first wave battle, so the ships you are to clear are way past you. near end of 2nd closes so your late to 3rd wave placement.due to this At no time do I feel part of the battle. What I love more is the Scopely ad when it open. Is it there more to get us more mad or like them more?

[desert nimbus]

why is there still 61+ ops in material spend SLBs with 50+?

[celest ore]

See this discussion proves that for you higher levels this works great. Because you have the ships to handle whatever comes, it doesn't bother you that lower lvl players are finding it frustrating. I understand this is supposed to be a challenge.. I really like the concept too, Waves get progressively harder no chance to repair... how long can you last. It's an awesome concept. However, they say it's for lvl 30+. It seems to me that only the higher level players have no problems with this set up, except for random ppl jumping into the wave and no ability to communicate. That's fine and legit concerns However, it would be nice if scopely added a system that were for lower levels that could actually get 4 or 5 waves with their g3 ships like all of you who have g4 and g5 ships can get in lvl 40 systems. This is what the lower lvl players hate.. They don't want to be carried. They want to participate and have fun and have the challenge as well. But they can within the current make up.

[analog field]

Bravo $copely no new brackets and still Ops 60+ with 50+ together 🙃😱🤐🤑🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

[brazen merlin]

dear scopely. Take your currency value and shove it.. this is the 2nd time you do this. Their is no reason for this ridiculous value per unit. Just uncool

[valid marten]

<@&509691205798592532> another fail mat spend event where ops 52 has to compete with 63. Please pass on the feedback to the event planner that they should either fix it or give a huge comp chest with riker shards

[left marlin]

At the very least, split up the top bracket for the Recruit SLB. I think Ops 51-55 for one bracket, and Ops56-60+ for the top bracket seems very reasonable imo

[woven grove]

Considering anyone below 60 does not even have access to g6, let alone spend it, they need to keep g6 in a bracket by themselves with those ridiculous points they get compared to us.
EDIT: Oh, right. I forgot. The whales absolutely abhor competing with themselves and want easy wins.

[valid marten]

We are on the same server, you can see the 60s in our tier, how the heck does Scopley expect us to compete with that even if we spend$?

[cedar lily]

@fierce sonnet wow dude what you said makes sense and I agree there are some serious balanceing issues that need to be looked at 100% percent. Unfortunately most aren't articulating anything helpful with there critiques just waaa I died quick! Lol if everyone voiced legitimate reasoning and not just crying lol

[left marlin]

Scopely absolutely won’t make a separate bracket for 60+ until their population reaches a high enough point. And the upper 50s Ops still have plenty of opportunities to spend rare and epic g5 mats. This seems like a reasonable compromise to me

[woven grove]

...You were saying? You forget we're in an event store arc. Rss and mat gains are minimal at best. 60k loot for half a tril par? Gtfo of here with that, Scopley.

[subtle pecan]

Well...the whales are still competing with each other for those top spots...it's just disadvantaging lower level G5 players.

[hushed crater]

I am OPS 56 - still in SLBs with OPS 63. Thanks for nothing

[half flare]

Now I see this is for half an unlock. I rescind my mitigatory comments, this is just objectively awful.

[stiff sleet]

Isn't it great how we complain about the scoring metric, and they make it even worse!

[left marlin]

I totally agree with you how tweaking the scoring like this during an Event Store month, where there’s less mats and rss, is additional unnecessary aggravation. However that gripe applies more to trying to do the Heroic SMS imo

Everyone trying in the SLB has to deal with this same issue, so I feel that that matters less than the gaping inequalities in spending opportunities for different Ops levels

[dim hare]

Why is there 41+ with 30s....becuase $copley.

[vagrant topaz]

It’s not comparable. And depreciating G5 value only adds insult to injury. Yes the population needs to increase for 61+ but to reduce the value of G5 is absurd.

[desert nimbus]

all the whales are 61+ now, g5 will be just treated as peasants same as everyone else

[mighty laurel]

Is there limits for ship bps from the arc store? My Feesha bps disappeared from the store... And if this is reached limit I've seen in previous stored that theres a number for each ship. Why is there no such information now?

[left marlin]

Ofc it’s absurd, totally agree. But they did that to g3 and g4 as well. And even at Ops52 there’s still a lot that I need to spend g4 on especially. And I can’t even spend g5 rare, while my g5unc options are very limited. So Scopely kicked dirt in my face 3x

[alpine junco]

Wow!! At ops35 20k uncommon g3 and no troi! And only a half unlock of riker! Did some one forget to add her into it??? What exactly am I even meant to spend that many materials on! I spend money on this game but not anymore!

[river merlin]

wheres your logic gone because this make zero sense, its like you think everyone high 50 is getting tons of material or something lmao

[vagrant topaz]

Lag is so bad on Server 95 that it’s almost impossible to join armadas. I’m glad our server is preparing right now to do a boycott on spending in this game. Scopely really needs to get these stability issues under control.

[warm torrent]

nothing like needing to reset the game every time you click on an armada during armada weekend. 🙄

[harsh ocean]

Level 60 and above should not be in 59 and below bracket.

[molten acorn]

@wanton copper wave hostiles are counting towards the daily limit. Can we remove them from counting logic, or increase limit?

[tame crown]

@wanton copper plz fix the disconnections.

[queen kindle]

In other end of arc event stores it had a limit of half a ship.

[mighty laurel]

Thank you. I remember something similar, however it seems as regression that this info is not in the store right now.

[queen kindle]

I've escalated that issue.

[mighty star]

Wave Attack events. Nice idea - if it would actually work. Let me know once this is playable

[verbal wyvern]

why run an armada event and then have all the armada actions glitch and force restart the client? It would be nice if I could actually participate....

[zenith ravine]

everything has escalated

[sullen badger]

@queen kindle Any chance we can get single ship bps in addition to 5 bps in the Event Store? I am literally 99/100 on the Amalgam and I don't want to waste Arc store currency for 4 bps that I am never going to use. BTW, this would be my second Amalgam. (I mean, while you are escalating other issues, lol)

[strong anchor]

ofc armadas are all borked and bugged and laggy on the day with several armadas events

[sullen badger]

No, ALL Armadas are buggy since Waves were introduced. Not just because of many armadas happening at once. But it sure doesn't help.

[uncut cloud]

#⭐-official-announcements message
This is great and all, but the event has broken armadas completely for some and almost unplayable for everyone. Can't star or even join at times. Game keeps crashing. What are they going to do about all of that so we can actually do armadas?

[warm cave]

Think it's crazy that upgrading my ship for the ship SLB (G3 Legionary) from 0 to max resulted in 66.63 points for the SMS and SLB for Riker, but in the Ship SLB it's 72160 points. My point? The ship slb points used to be terrible, and now even they are better then current SLB. You spit at everyone this time round.

[rapid eagle]

So checked how much G3 uncommon it would take to max out the heroic recruit sms last month after the adjustments they made to scoring vs the new one today for Riker, I'm in the 35-39 ops lvl bracket(same bracket as i was last month). last month for half of picard and data it was 16,825 UC G3. For just half of Riker this month it's 19,700 UC G3...too say the least, not a fan of that change/adjustment

[lean basalt]

On today's Real American Heroes, we salute you Mr. Ops 36 who joins a wave defense with one ship and dies in round 1. Despite not having any idea how the event works you never let that stop you from screwing it up for everyone else. And that's about the most American thing I can think of. Roll Tide

[vernal isle]

You can always back out before someone hits start or timer runs down

[lean basalt]

true. but I don't really like doing that, I'm also happy to carry folks or help out if asked. I'm mostly venting/joking here, most of the blame lies with the way scopely set it up. They gotta finish the events too.

[jade oxide]

Any chance of making the Mona blueprints available to buy in event store to 200?

[verbal surge]

Thanks for the communication about lowering scoring again…

[next vortex]

Lowered scoring and an armada weekend with constant lag outs, glitching to the point you can't star players. Constant rebooting on top of the cache clearing and reboots for wave crashes....

[half basin]

The wave defense is fun but it’s unplayable because my game keeps resetting over and over, kind of upsetting, similar to when starbase first came out and I had to rely on commodores to take care of it because the game resets whenever I look at it

[wintry abyss]

@wanton copper why are ops 60 + still in the same bracket as 53? Seriously get your game together. An ops 50 doesn’t have G6 hence it’s completely unbalanced for the SLB. It’s not rocket science to create appropriate brackets. Even 53 and 56 shouldn’t be in the same bracket. 🤦

[tight elbow]

They're doing it on purpose. Scopely feels they would lose revenue by putting g6 in their own bracket

[queen kindle]

There's always a chance. I'd delay exchanging for as long as possible before making the move to give them time to adjust the store. However, note that there are three qualifying currency spend events for a final one that awards an avatar.

[final oriole]

Why is there a hidden limit on freesha BPS? only could get half a ship

[chilly flower]

so i guess we are not getting the slb leaderboard/brackets updated as promised this month either @wanton copper ?

[chilly flower]

if you are level 40 you should have a 3* epic by now, you shouldnt have gone to 41 with out them

[fluid gust]

only way to get to ops40 without an epic is if you have an iss jellyfish, which is at least as good as an epic anyway.

[molten marlin]

not really, a g3 epic will eclipse the iss until you can source 4* unc gas and unc 4* explorer parts

[mental plaza]

@wanton copper @queen kindle - Well guys, let's refit parts of fresha in this event please

[open magnet]

Since WD hostiles count to the hostile limit, would it be cool to extend daily hostile limit as Scopely's daily grind now puts us too close to the Bot prevention measures? 😄

[dark pine]

Look I don’t think the defence wave mechanic is the worst thing but getting tiring having events for it everyday. I get it’s the new shiny thing but at least a day off would be nice

[worthy granite]

Why is there in the event shop by officers a possibility for buying 10 shards at the same time, but for ship blueprints you have to click them one by one?

[chrome bolt]

I think it's hilarious that they gave an exo to push for a weekend of armadas, then completely broke armadas and walked away.

[wise rapids]

I really don't think you should continue running defense events every day when we've ended up not being able to advace due to bugs for 3 days now. Seriously, if its not working STOP RUNNING EVENTS THAT REQUIRE IT TO WORK.

[frigid wagon]

How about a WAVE chat tab? once this whole "everyone is stuck is battle" thing is fixed...

[inland goblet]

@wanton copper

Please, add Discovery "Section 31" refit to the event store!!!

[wanton anvil]

Ships stuck in wave defense. Another great feature Scopely. Hope your hoes give you🦀🦀🦀

[rancid fractal]

Been seeing a lot of clocking when scanning armadas, most scan fine but a few wont. Restarting game fixes it, butsoon after you start seeing it again.

[fluid gust]

or a "system" chat.
send a message to everyone who is watching the system you're watching.
during wave defences it automatically means you're only talking to people taking part.

[graceful lantern]

When you are the opener or starter of the wave defence you should have to select if you want the defence to be private i.e. alliance only or public i.e. open to all

[brazen merlin]

I simply as a start want them so just get this crashes and lag gone. Let's assume that's a small start. You add events so you straining your own system. It's frustrating more and more as events continue. We need this fixed so bad💩

[lunar jay]

Scopely obviously hates solo players, else they wouldn't have foisted this Wave Defense nonsense on them.

[cedar lily]

You can join solo lmao!

[lunar jay]

What about the definition of "solo" do you NOT understand?

[cedar lily]

Lol I understand that you don't have to do the event. And you don't need to be in an alliance. If you choose to do the event. Wich is way more solo oriented then the territory event.

[novel mango]

@wanton copper @icy cairn with this nerf I am not even trying anymore on these events, not worth the effort.

[chilly flower]

g3 epics are ship yard level 34, not sure why you think you cant get them by level 40?

[fluid gust]

I'm saying the reverse.
the only way you can be ops40 and not have a G3 epic is if you somehow get an iss jellyfish.
as having a G3 epic or an ISS jellyfish is required to do the mission to unlock ops40.

[loud plover]

Wave defense SMS for anyone under 35 so insanely hard to even kill on the first wave would be nice if our sms was changed, would be better to actually make the first few waves killable for the players able to do the wave defense in the first place.

[covert zephyr]

Monaveen ship parts bundle removed from event store? Was there an issue or why has this item been removed. It didn't say limited number

[reef terrace]

@wanton copper how do you justify 145 million Borg probe at level 32 please explain this to me

[river merlin]

it has a limit but they dont display that because the company lacks care

[reef terrace]

@wanton copper your game cheats

[zenith wing]

at 100 rounds in combat, it ends, with victory awarded to the side with the most total hp remaining. this is normal when hitting acatian hostiles without using tal or the mantis

[reef terrace]

It's still a cheat

If I'm not destroyed you're cheating 🥱

[steel cairn]

The event store lists no limits for blueprints u can buy with contained t, yet monaveen bp disappear at about 105 purchased. That’s not right.
