[grand fulcrum]

augment events at least gave good rewards like the ship refits

oops replied to wrong message lol

[coarse furnace]

Scopely what are you thinking? You're clearly off your meds if you think I'm grinding away at that ridiculous amount of hostiles for ANY event. I have a life outside of this game.

[scarlet tartan]

at least we don't have to grind all day during an Incursion

oh wait

[wheat walrus]

YAY.... Fatu Krey in a different Dress and more infintite grind...... no thanks gardening is more exciting.... well done

[compact pendant]

How did you score in the Explorer Run?
Somehow scored 13pts and since, nada, despite my Mayflower happily grinding away (Server 112).

[molten marlin]

are you auto grinding?

The events like that are coded so the attacking ship has to match the type. Autogrinding doesn't work for it.

[compact pendant]

Yep, but also tried to actively bring down… oooohhhhh, it ain't with Explorer but Explorer hostiles?

[molten marlin]

It is with an explorer, but you have to manually attack

if the chaser was an explorer, it would work

[sturdy crown]

But I've completed 4 Quark events but only received 300 points, not the 400 I should have.

[compact pendant]

👍 ✋ Thanks, it seemed to work now. Just the (infamous) lag.
I'm quite sure, that's a first, but glad it eventually works.

[gritty haven]

Officer Flash Pass Elite £99.99? Are you crazy? Surely has to be an error? 🤣

[compact pendant]

Had a similar situation in the morning. The second event took its sweet time to score for Meta. 5-10 mins.

[hushed otter]

Ops 61 in a slb hunting bracket with ops 70. I’m sure my 5* epic can reach and kill the same value targets as a 6* epic. I’ll win this board no problem 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[severe ferry]

This is bad design! These are the only systems that aggregation hostiles/loot are available in, and the hostiles should never be replaced with special event hostiles. If you needed a place to spawn the new hostiles they should have been placed in all of the outpost systems. Please either change the spawn locations of the new v'ger hostiles or delete the entire event series seeing how it has no value.

[umbral apex]

<@&509690795536941056> just doesent care

[sturdy crown]

Did todays 3hours ago, even Scopely Lag isn't that bad.

[chilly heron]

Can someone at scopely remember, that you guys said, you wanted to reduce the grind? Also, can you remember why you deactivated fatu krey? <@&509690795536941056>

[woven fog]

they just renamed the event basically

[lyric quiver]

Is the only level 60 Vger 8472 located in a hazard system? I can only find the one system

[terse harbor]

45 minutes, before I went 💥, to score this amount of points hitting L45s as 46s kill me in a couple of attacks. Need about 5-6 hours constant grinding to complete this. I won't even mention the Heroic one which would need a week to do, not 48hrs. 💩💩💩💩💩💩

[wheat walrus]

the more I read into this event, the less it is worth doing. Endless grind for a chance at something? Really

[wet grove]

At which point will scopely finally learn to either make realistic event point requirements, or lower the hostile difficulty.
Another event I‘m skipping outright because it‘s just not doable with a reasonable time investment

[tranquil yew]

DOA mid arc. I've tried, I'm first in my slb bracket and not even half way though the sms but just cannot be bothered anymore. Expect the general " we hear you, here are the event points and we've adjusted it etc".
Do better. This same setup has been a disaster every time you've tried it, why are we back here again?

[lean thorn]

honest event feedback - the Echoes of V'ger - this will take a whole day to complete: in time spent and in hostiles killing limit (oh sure, who needs the loot, you can just kill hostiles forever, for nothing)
take a good long look at yourself - to whoever approved those goals

[chilly heron]

Give us back the borg mega cube instead. Weekly. I am still working on an avatar there. 😄

[spiral veldt]

Annorax should work on these hostiles since he worked on Fatu-Kray chests and the V'ger Bio-ships are the replacement for the Fatu-Kray

[molten marlin]

Should but apparently doesn't

[spiral veldt]

and this is a feedback channel so that is my feedback

[austere bay]

Still doesnt change the fact the grind is insane. Even if we had 200% box bonus it is too much

[terse harbor]

Just taken a look at the V'ger event store, another 90 minutes of grinding until I could possibly claim a single chest????????? You have lost touch with any sort of reality, this is IMPOSSIBLE.

[floral yarrow]

Ops48 (160M) speaking. V'ger event. Didn't you say you were going to shut down the Fatu Kreys until you find something more useful for them?
And now you've rebranded them as V'ger, but your chests are still named FK.
Also, grinding the whole day V44-46 for 130 of their loot only to get a chance of bad boxes. Did you even test this?

[winged briar]

All i got from the double pull of the syndicate XP / directives chest (at ops 71) is 75k syndicate XP, for the amount of grind i had to do, it's simply not worth it. I won't bother with the SMSs either.

[marble parrot]

I wish i had those milestones..🤭🤭 mines 75million.

[lean thorn]

ally voicing their opinion on the event, guess how likely they are to carry on with the event

[spiral veldt]

Personally, I enjoy a long grind as long as the reward is worth it in the end. It's one of the reasons why I really liked the Augment hostiles, FC Khan, etc. Everything was grindable. For the Ops 71 hostiles, it takes me 312 kills per 2 chest pull atm. Or if I didn't want to grind it out then it's 45 per chest which is one hull for a t7 vengeance. It's not awful, but I may adjust my opinion if the chances on loot are bad.

[brave otter]

Fatu Krey 2.0 is really bad..... Nice work!

[gilded needle]

Has scopely said anything about the V'Ger event or Syndicate battlepass yet?

[molten marlin]

in regards to what

[jaunty iron]

Is this channel the one scopely doesnt look at by any chance? Feedback on here, feedback by surveys, feedback via tickets and they dont listen to a thing. Create events that are playable and enjoyable... the lack of understanding for the player base is beyond a joke and whoever is in charge of content creation and game management really need to step aside. So many have left and continue to leave so there will be no game soon

[cinder ermine]

At this point I can only assume that the developers main goal is to enrage everyone as much as absolutely possible before shutting the game down. There's no other explanation for five straight years of events being disastrously tuned every single time week after week month after month year after year. That level of incompetence shouldn't be able to exist unless it's intentional.

[sharp thistle]

What exactly is banned about that?

[hollow flare]

The two letters after rebranded, not allowed to swear (I know you're not but bots don't understand context)

[sharp thistle]

Ahh yeah great when scopely added hostiles called Fatu Krey so most people shortened it 🤣

[sharp sand]

<@&509690795536941056> question what is the chance of getting the directives?

[junior pond]

I can't even begin to describe how laughable it is how scopley went on about how bad the Fatu-Krey event was that they had to cancel it, then they put in this "new" event that is literally a copy and paste of that event, right down to the loot boxes they forgot to change, except like every other thing they have added recently they ramped up the damage output so that players can't effectively kill the hostiles for their level and have to punch down to hit and take hundreds if not thousands of hostile kills for an SMS.

[plucky cove]

The new event grind is manageable for me. I’d be OK with it. If…and this is the big if….the reward was worth it.

Ha.

The event store is just laughably, horribly, insultingly bad. There is absolutely nothing there worth even 5 minutes of my time.

[ocean arch]

Garbage event overgrind required for what? Good rewards? Maybe. If you're LUCKY. Literally. How you gonna make people gonna work this hard and not get guaranteed decent rewards? My first pull today was a few Hugh shards (been maxed for months) and 2000 depot tokens. Crap. Nowhere near worth the work put in.

[ocean arch]

If they don't say it, it's probably SUPER low

[grand orchid]

This event is beyond me even being able to play. Ty for nothing.As usual why are you constantly taking all the fun out of new events and arcs. Do you really think players won't just not do them. 👻👻👻

[tawny falcon]

why is there tax for more boxes and cool downs on the pulls for the event store?

[shy spindle]

To make you bend over and...

[halcyon fiber]

Even the Fatu Krey were better, this feels like Fatu Krey met Vger Orion

[woeful drum]

Why are these new hostiles in hazard systems?

[arctic merlin]

Why do none of the hostiles count to the milestones except for the four systems? Why even spawn the others?

And how can you not even bother to change the name of the “fatu-krey chest” in the reskin

[obsidian quiver]

Dear Scopley, You seem to think that the players of this game have no life and nothing more to do but play STFC. Making an incredibly long grind like this is incredibly dumb. I could see a couple hundred ships maybe. But this is just nuts.

[glacial verge]

This new event is so good, I'm glad I now can use all my speedups and lat just to kill enough of these new FK...i mean V'ger hostiles to just hit the first pay out! Best event todate Scopley ggs. /s

[pale flume]

Seriously?! What genius thought of this?
Crap rewards
Loop that requires killing 2k hostiles
Hard pass!

[elder ether]

Worse event ever

[severe ferry]

Scopley, if you insist on running horrible events can you at least bring back hurak invasion... That event was trash but at least the store had some value unlike this v'ger trash.

[warped grove]

Now math was never my strong suit but I do pride myself on my ability to count to AT LEAST four

[worn galleon]

So we're just going pure G6-7 events?

[lapis zephyr]

Since I can’t post my feedback (that has no bad words in it..) - here, a screenshot 🫶🏼

[worn galleon]

I mean if you want to stop worring about content for G3-5, this event will drive them off faster than the augment arc did

[verbal surge]

Ctrl + c, ctrl + v
Kwalitee

[lethal stump]

Come on Scopely - this new v’ger event is ridiculous. 8000 hosiles to complete sms? The v’ger silent hostiles are a joke as well. Game is supposed to be a fun distraction not a full time job to get minimal rewards

[turbid hamlet]

Why! WHY! Once again, WHY have you grouped Ops 63's with Ops 70s with much STRONGER warships, these are the competitions that aggravate to no-end because its not about a fair competition AT ALL. You cant compete at all with people who have access to Ops 70 warships!!!

[frank osprey]

Been killing these V'ger 8472 hostiles off and on since noon and have the 1st solo milestone completed. I really don't know how Scope expects to compete with EA and not get shut down at this point. Every event is trash or bugged to hell since at least WoK arcs last year.

Kill 1000's of op hostiles that for no reason kill you outright in round 10.
Have a heroic version that's wants even more killed than the daily version.
Offer tokens to turn in at an event store in ludicrous amounts for laughable rewards.
Tell everyone in an in-game notice about this cool event and say it's recurring.
Watch in real-time as player participation in the event tops out at ~7% after 6 hours.

[paper depot]

Echoes of V'ger AKA the rebranded Sarris invasion event. Cost versus reward analysis done. Verdict: three middle fingers. Not worth the time it will take to punch down and complete nor the rewards you get if you do complete it. Another miss Scopely........🙄

[lean thorn]

judging by the SLB around 4 players (in my brackets) completed the event in the 9 or so hours since its release 😄 this should be more than enough feedback

[surreal warren]

I am not doing the 💩 event and enjoy my saved up gametime for something useful/rewarding.

[pure forge]

only three here.

[winter grotto]

Ended up finding a good crew, pulled my chest 750 depot tokens what the actual heck!? Garbage event, garbage rewards.

[obsidian quiver]

Nearly an hour to complete the first milestone. Received 1200 amity tokens but need a minimum of 15K for the store. My math says about 6 or 7 more hours of grinding will do the trick. Really Scopley????

[lyric quiver]

Leftover trash from galaxy quest

[tropic mountain]

Nearly 3 hours of grinding at ops51 and I still haven't even finished the normal sms yet

[pallid lintel]

Quark's "Special" store still sucks..... that is all....

[boreal coyote]

I do not care an SLB is paired with this. This SMS is ludicrous. 204K G5 epic? I honestly would pay to see a Scopley employee to try and finish this event on a non dev account.

[frank osprey]

no employee has an account.

[boreal coyote]

They all quit 😂

[slender narwhal]

How do people love the new branded sarris invasion event. What they took down to be replaced with this new crap

[frank osprey]

more like snowflakes that can't handle not being able to kill things they put into the game.

[shadow flint]

it's ridiculous, not doing this crap

[winged charm]

V’Ger hostiles are impossible. I’m level 57 with a top tier ship and can barely clear level 45 hostiles. No chance to score. I’m done with this crazy task!

[stoic linden]

not enough info, what is top tier?

[winged charm]

Everything you need to know is right there. A top-tier ship is exactly that — top-tier.

[stoic linden]

Not enough info, what is a top-tier ship. Top tier could mean a G3 epic for all I know. Your information lacks substance and therefore makes it hard to give real advice.

[obsidian ore]

Making level 61 event hostiles substantially weaker than level 60 event hostiles while making the only system that players OPS 60 and below can access them is a system where only 7 normal hostiles spawn at once is so ridiculous. And the strength discrepancy results in level 60 hostiles taking about double the turns to kill as level 61, which is a huge gap given the 10-turn limit. This is either a situation where you chose the system at random without having a clue that it doesn't spawn hostiles normally or a situation where you didn't intend OPS 60 and below players to have access at all, which is worse because that just means the goal was even more of a grind.

EDIT: To be clear, level 61 event hostiles are even weaker than the level 57 ones. It's ridiculous to design this.

[winged charm]

It’s basic reading comprehension. Just read it. I’m a level 57 player with a top-tier ship for that level.

[stoic linden]

So you're doing them with a Realta and a pvp crew?

[winged charm]

https://tenor.com/view/ohno-smh-wrong-no-gif-20802904

[stoic linden]

I'm asking you to be specific and you keep repeating yourself, post logs and provide specific info or don't even ask the question

[boreal coyote]

Im a 56 mowing down 58s 🤷‍♂️

[stoic linden]

exactly, it's all relative to a lot of things, can't help give any direction without first knowing the basics

[boreal coyote]

These last few hostiles really showing the cracks, the math on math on math on math . Favors, FT, CT, artifacts, research, officer levels etc etc

[stoic linden]

Guy things we're mind readers 😂 gimme more of that juice sir

[alpine coral]

This is by far and away the worst event I have ever seen this game put out, I will not be wasting any more of my time on this junk. Rebranded Saris Invasion, really?? How lazy are you folks at Scopely?

[raven elm]

So lazy, they didn't even bother to change the name of the chest.

[alpine coral]

Lol, I did not get that far, and I won't be wasting any more of my time on this, so will not be receiving any chests

[winged charm]

😶

[frank osprey]

Just noticed this...where is the battleship tech? And before you say it's not there because I have it, I don't but i do have the interceptor tech. And why 1 booth shard as apposed to the conduit 1 or 2 shard pull? I know i say the devs don't play but holy god does literally no one in that company play? I have to assume someone oks stuff before it goes into the game and i accept that that person doesn't play to know how bad events are but when you are handed an event store graphic to approve and you can see it's wrong...this just says everyone, on every level, in this company does not care about the product they are producing. Spelling errors(still got that kill Borg Type armadas to this day), graphic bugs that have been a thing for years, server stability issue like they run the game on blades from '00's(almost want to think they're based out of a building from the '60's that has a rotary dial at the front desk.

[prisma gate]

this is a very high bar for most alliances to meet. at 240k points, with 1 player being able to score 100 points per day, 6 days to do the AMS, 40 players would need to complete the SMS a day for all 6 days. thats insane participation required. my alliance is one of the top in the server and so far were at 11 players having completed the SMS. its not looking promising for completion considering the difficulty of the hostiles.

[frank osprey]

The best part is that tomorrow or the day after, they'll adjust the points needed, not how many each kill gives but lower the amount needed to complete the event. Which won't actually help because 90%+ of players checked out of this junk >6hrs after it went live.

It's what they did with the WoK event after the 1st day, cut the milestone points by like 1/3 so it wasn't really that much better but helped a small amount.

[pulsar hearth]

so they didn't fire the person that came up with Flashpoint scoring structure? 😆

[lethal moss]

They recycled something in the existing framework since they can’t do much else without severely breaking the game

[mighty osprey]

Do you think he cares about our opinion? Honestly, the game is becoming very unrealistic, at least on my server. More and more whales are abandoning the game because of how unrealistic it is, and for the normal players who stay, these events are pushing them to leave as well.

[somber brook]

@rose oracle these SMS events on Echo of V’ger are unattainable. I’ve been grinding for a couple of hours and I barely completed the first milestone.

[tame terrace]

Whelp Scopely you have created another event that I’m not going to bother with. Been hitting these dumb Vger species ships and havent hit the bottom tier yet. I do not have hours to spend doing your events. You do not spur me to spend money to make it easier, I just get irritated and don’t do them and then get more irritated with the game.

[pallid lintel]

Congrats you have two stores that complete buttcheeks....

[placid wing]

store sucks really not worth my time im not wasting my time on this event got other things to worry about then wasting my time with this event scopely get it threw your head we have lives

my alliance is pretty big and like only 5 people have compleated it only people that are like 65 plus breeze threw this and like theese things hit so hard its so anoying to hit them im not gona get 147k points when i can only hit the the 42s why put a go hom gun is beyond me like give us a chance

please stop putting events with a sucky store if you want people to do you events

[ocean arch]

top 10 only prize events are terrible!!

[mild glacier]

Most boring day of any arc yet. Everyone is forced to hit way lower than their level due to the stupid 10 round insta-kill so it takes hours just to reach the first milestone of the event. Everyone has logged off to do other things due to frustration and boredom.

[ocean arch]

it’s bad. add in the terrible bp (edata and rachel? in 2026?) the random chance rewards that mostly suck unless you get lucky, and all the lag, and scopely is awful today. #impeachconor

[placid wing]

more to this i just looked and the sarris invasion store has more value then this new one

[winter wasp]

event feed back, its trash

[uncut fable]

Like Outposts... I will be doing a hard pass on this new event.. its garbage

[whole ore]

The scoring for this event is BS! Please adjust it Scopely

[coarse iris]

Its not a garbage event, its a kill hostile event really like any other, but for 2 hour grind bieng able to pull one chest reward of 30k syndicate poinits? I mean come on make it worthwhile atleast.

Ops68 ,chest cost 45 mil with borg cube hitting 67 + back and forth = 90 min to be exact

[calm salmon]

Once you've collected the reward from the war room, you can't go back. You have to close and restart the game every time. It's been incredibly annoying for months!

[low radish]

I feel like scopely listens even less these days. They used to at least try to gaslight us. Now they just ignore.

[jolly path]

Since this is basically FatuRedux, why not make the invading enemy officers work against them?

[gritty nova]

I spent 2 hrs and got no where with this new event. Fighting 30 other ships to kill lvl 40 hostiles.

[sand geyser]

The good news is the rewards are garbage.

[dark rock]

Im.new to this game. I joined because it stated id beehive a promo code, anyonebonow where id find that?

[gritty nova]

Didn't even get to the first, tier

[lone dragon]

Most of our alliance on 32 is offline right now because the new Echoes of V'Ger events are horrible. I am level 49 and can't even kill a level 40 hostile because they are at 65B power and my biggest ship is 50M.

[winged charm]

https://tenor.com/view/jensen-ackles-pointing-smiling-supernatural-dean-winchester-gif-11379335554187487189

[wise shore]

Reskinned Fatu-Krey, even the chests are still mentioned.

The main issue is the hostile-specific lag.
I have to click them multiple times to target them, same issue fatu hostiles had.

So, same code in the background.

[hushed otter]

<@&509690795536941056> can we get brackets that are a little better competitively balanced please. I’m ops 61 in a hunting bracket with 70s. If a 70 kills one echo vger red his lvl I have to kill around 70 my lvl to equal his one kill. Honestly don’t you think that’s a little ridiculous?

Or make them all score the same amount, so whoever puts the time in wins 🤷‍♂️

[sacred scarab]

You've replaced kratu fey with hostiles that function exactly the same in terms of loot (the majority you get will be from the chests and refines require a lot of loot) but not carried over annorax's chest ability to the new hostiles. This is poor design

Honestly, putting annorax in then not having him count for anything new added after that point was already poor design, but this is worse

[frosty current]

Oh wow now we can spend endless hours trying to kill enough V'ger Species 8472 hostiles. Come on Scopely do you think we all just want to endlessly play this game nonstop. The only reason people already do ao much is to try and get somewhere. Now you put an event in that is obviously going to consume considerable time to complete, if you even can. I did 5 runs with my ship and still a long way off to the first claim.

Get a grip you guys, just about ready to throw in the towel.

[scarlet tartan]

This event is an obvious experiment to see just how much grind can be extracted from players in exchange for as little reward as possible

#1 SLB after 2 THREE days gets enough to do 3 extra pulls, likely gaining less than 3000 depot tokens and mayyyyybe a shard?

Insanity

[floral hill]

This is ridiculous. Have to kill 26,800 hostiles to complete event. Not wasting my time

[scarlet tartan]

Rewards are garbage too

[tardy crow]

Have you considered hitting higher lvl hostiles?

[grand orchid]

Just remember. If you don't push the Echos event button did it really happen.🤣🤣

[cloud cape]

This V’ger event is a joke, needing nearly 50k points with 8-20ish points a kill on a 50- server. Very little though put into this event. Who wants to try grind out 3000-6000 kills in a 24 hour window? A little thought process would have gone a long way 🤦🏻‍♂️

[mild path]

I have to grind nearly 1000kills for SMS. I wanted to point out that I already have a full time job

[wintry ember]

Feedback on Sarris repaint event? Fail. I realy do not think you could have done any worse. It is just comical how horrid it is.

[toxic marsh]

@rose oracle this event is cooked, what drugs did you take before you released this event, did you even test it ? you blokes need to pull your head out of your arses

[wintry ember]

Also. The Ship SLB and the Legacy of Voyager are Trap events. They drain what you would use in COTA during the BP event.

[left dew]

The idea behind this is spend more money... 😄

[pseudo stag]

Now we can clearly state that Scopely does not give a *** about player's feedback!

They told us they remove Sarris Invasion and Fatu Krey only to reintroduce the same *** just a few weeks later with another name and other icons but worse output.

As if the game wasn't bad enough performance wise for the last couple of weeks and less enjoyable for the past couple of months, this may be your last effort to get people to close this game forever...

[marble parrot]

Scopless IT guy last night.

[tiny mirage]

Echo is the biggest imitation of Scopely, utter nonsense for nothing. Shove it where the sun don't shine. Finally, release the EU compensation or send me Connor, and I'll get it myself. Hang him higher.

[toxic marsh]

if i remember right saudis allow public floggings, lets some top officals of scopley whipped

[kind stirrup]

seriously these VGER Orions are completely broken they need to be fixed.

If my annorax cube can wreck a dozen 30+ bil reds it makes no sense at all that a single 20 bil is out of my league

only the leslie cheese crew is an option at 1 hull per kill, its stupid.

[wintry ember]

And BONUS we get incursions in the middle of this wonderful time consuming event.

[kind stirrup]

wait, when is incursion again?

[stoic linden]

Gosh if you have to punch down that much to complete an event maybe try investing in your account? Some ship modules and research. Maybe an artifact or three might go a long way

[left dew]

Honestly, if you are too weak for the Orion hostiles, you are too weak for your level. And if you are a f2p player, this is fine, but then you should progress more slowly in Ops. Look for your research, your officers, FCs and artifacts. No pun intended, but you should be able to do nearly every sms without too much effort. (Besides the error with aggregat-hostiles in an event-series recently). One of our f2p players is Ops 52. He is doing everything in his own pace and beats everything far above his level (including some 61+ players in Arena).

[frozen dock]

I have no hostile combat research left to do most of the combat artifacts done etc. the Orion’s are a 10 ship job and that new event is still a massive grind. I can hit far higher than these hostiles anywhere else so as I’ve done all those things …

[left dew]

Ops? Ship? Crew?

[cunning chasm]

Tell that to 67+ players, main problem is you are stuck with 16b ship whole way until much late in 70 where you upgrade your epic.

[left dew]

When you are Ops 68-69 and your ship is "only" 16b, this is a bit to weak.

[jovial roost]

Hey Scopely, if an Event takes more than 15 min a day, it is not entertainment, it is a second job. Especially if you have put multiple events on the same day. Just saying.

[agile latch]

"Sarris invasion is bad and nobody plays it, no money from it, we need to delete it."
1 month later: copies Sarris invasion to make a "new" event.

[jovial roost]

yup, it is a reskin. so bad, that even the reward chest is still Faku

[dim hatch]

Honestly that's just bad advice for f2p when it comes to gX jumps, staying at 70 to very slowly upgrade an epic and progress research is dumb compared to going 71, maybe struggling with Orion but getting significantly more g6 materials.

[left dew]

When did I speak of special Ops Jumps, where you benefit form one Ops more? Many people are not only one Ops above where they should be and the majority is way below 70. 🙂

[dim hatch]

Exactly why it was bad advice, you didn't caveat anything you said it was just a blanket statement to slow down if f2p and struggle with Orion. 71 being a common struggle point 🤷‍♂️😂 but also an exceptional point to get more resources to catch up

[swift nymph]

This event is terrible. The hostile makes no sense. I can kill a 45 no hull with ease yet a 46 I have to double tap to win (assuming someone else doesn't just steal the kill). Everything else I'm basically tickling. Because of this, I can only get at best 144 pts per kill and the requirement for this is 79,850, which means at best I need to beat over 500 hostiles. This makes literally no sense. Even if the rewards are decent, its not worth the hassle. And if we're trying to gear towards efficiency & such (DTI, the lower ops BPs though that needs to be worked around as getting ship parts for the ship of the month after getting it is dang near non-existent, etc.), this is going back to those tedious grinds. Either make these hostiles easier so that we can get it done efficiently or lower the pt requirement. No reason to grind over 500 hostiles when I have other grinds to work through (Augment, Aggregation, Transogen (though I sometimes skip it), Artifacts, etc.).

[worldly seal]

Feedback for the new event

• it takes way too long/too grindy
• the Rewards are big ultra garbage

Why do you hate us so much?

[jolly temple]

I'm lvl 66 and my 8 bil Akira with a good crew got smashed by a lvl 56. They expect me to get 422mil points. I can't afford to keep rebuilding, and don't have time to grind it a few points at a time.
It's a good job it's only an interim event that I can ignore
I also have similar issues with V'gar.
No wonder people are giving the game up. 😩

[neon elk]

Define good crew

The reason I ask is because a 66 struggling that much with a 56 bioship doesn't add up.

Below decks: hugh, BLT, Zeph, WJoachim

[marble parrot]

I need 750mil points so i aint bothering.

Best i can i can do is a 54 but still i need like 3000 of them.

Spcoplesss

[gloomy current]

I don't mind new hostiles needing different crew loadouts - it's actually nice to have something that makes you think.

On the negative - 10-20 hostiles should be enough per day, the event is far too grindy as it is.

[gloomy current]

I'm killing 30x65's with a 3.7bn Ent-D - I suspect this is due to your loadout rather than the hostile difficulty.

High dmg per round is very important (not ship strength) - my Ent-D is half the strength of my relativity and much better vs these.

Janeway (c), Sudar, Seska
BD: Joachim, Pic-Hugh, Borg Hugh, BLT, SNW Chapel, Harry Kim + your best dmg officers

FT/CT Metreon Cascade/Godsend (or whatever you have that is best vs hostiles)

+Cerritos buff (Do not use fortify, it nerfs you)

[tiny remnant]

Janeway, sudar, seksa is worse for me than chang, sudar seska.
BD is mostly the same as your.

[gloomy current]

Yeah, if Chang works better for you use him, some people are also using E-Data - alot will depend on ship firing pattern and officer tiers

[harsh peak]

I actually think the event is fine, an occasional grindy event is OK especially as it's not a new loop or daily. I like that it's difficult, too much of this game is easy. And if you're well powered for your level it's a couple of hundred hostiles which is way less than the old Military Supremacy event.

But....

If the main chests had a guarantee of new artifact shards I'd say fine, that's worthwhile, the event is a solid C, maybe even a B-. But when I opened my second one and got 500 depot tokens and nothing else, I immediately gave up. Forget the SLB, don't care about the AMS, I am not hitting hundreds of hostiles for a chance of getting nothing in the rigged Scopely casino, event downgraded to a Fail

[sinful heart]

Wow, that’s a way to blame the victims.

Sorry, it has been pretty well established that Scoply not the players are the ones not getting these orions correct.

Stop carry water for bad management. 🤨

[tranquil yew]

Stuck with it and finished the sms with about 800 kills. pulled both chests and recieved 10k syndicate and 1000 officer depot tokens, and ironically 1 krenim solo start which would give more syndicate and character bps in loot than the SMS.

[stark warren]

I quite enjoy the Orion hostiles and I wont give FTP a pass either. We have several in the alliance that hit above their ops level. Something is missing if a player cant hit their own level. However, video games should have content that is challenging, even content that players cannot accomplish on day one. Almost everything this game puts out is easy day one and obsolete in two months. Does the player base for other video games pull out the torches and pitchforks when the game gets tough?

[sinful heart]

Riiight, tell me you’re not understanding the player base for a mobile game (you know, the type you play on the can during a smoke break) without telling me you don’t understand?

[stark warren]

I truly hope and pray that the vast majority of this player base is defecating while playing. However! I’ve played this game since its inception and never once was this game so simple that we should allow that over generalization. Obviously there are varying degrees of dedication to any game but if a player who should be more concerned with wiping cant accomplish a mechanic the day it comes out it seems logical to assume that they shouldn’t get upset that their lack of commitment doesn’t allow them to master it.

[fading crag]

I am absolutely abhoring these events to kill the OP 8472s.

It's a real PITA!

[slate coral]

Unfortunately a vast number of players arent satisfied with anything less than "easy mode" which i gotta say bores me to tears. I am thankful there is a challenge that i actually have to work on instead just hitting the "easy" button. A challenge that takes no effort is not a challenge.

[stark warren]

Right on. I do agree with StarKitty also. Not that I mind grinding those hostiles but that I’m very disappointed in the depth of this VGer event and the rewards are absolutely not worth the effort.

[slate coral]

Yeah, the point totals needed for the event are a bit too high.

[eager temple]

8472 in fsep-3819 doesn't show as a battle point

[stark warren]

The rewards are RNG based which is a ‘gamble.’ The idea behind gambling is that the rewards are quick and easy. Asking players to grind out a currency for hours just to gamble it away is illogical.

[sinful heart]

You do realize THAT is the gripe folks have correct?

Not that it is hard, but that the goal posts keeps changing (sometimes in the middle of downs 🤨) and the efforts do not in anyway get reflected in rewards riiight?

Don’t get caught up is semantics 🤨

(and mind numbing, hostile daily limit busting grinds improve nobody’s morale on the game fyi)

[quiet gulch]

@near saddle The Point Scaling Needs to be fixed.
Keep the Difficulty of the hostiles, but there is NO REASON a SUB40 Should have an SIGNIFICANTLYeasier time at completing the event.

1. Only Requires 50 hostiles to complete at the top end and 5 Hostiles at the bottom end.
2. Able to use 3 ships to grind with and no specific crews making the farm EASIER

Versus

OPS41+ Who cant even finish the event EFFICIENTLY

1. Required to hit 100+ ships regardless of Hostile Level
2. Only able to Use a single ship with specific crewing.

[orchid sundial]

Thanks for breaking the Orion vgers again scopely. Only getting partial kills. 1 million hull health taken off per hit 🤦🤦🤦🤦

[deep patio]

Another tedious grind I don’t have time for. I have other more important things to do than spend all day chasing hostiles.

And there’s only one lvl 55/56, and it is in a system with hazard. 🥸

[lapis zephyr]

To this I would also add that there was absolutely no need to impose new hostiles to 51- ops. We do not need new content as we are growing thru the old content at the moment and those grinds are quite extensive at moments.

Mid ops should be grinding their own grinds and most def not hyper-grinding thru content developed for 51+ for rewards that are laughably inadequate.

[unique dome]

It's not that this event is bad. It's that once again Scopely implements events that are virtually impossible to complete without playing 24 hours or having every research and officer maxed, AND THEN ALSO HAS A HEROIC. I'm not asking for easy mode, but come on.

[wet crag]

So on top of the half reskinned attempt at the Fatu Krey event that was acknowledged as not good, and yet still reused, we had the bright idea to put some level ranges of enemies in systems with hazards ? geez

oh no, it is just bad Tervalas, they acknowledged it when it was the Fatu Krey and they couldnt even reskin the event fully let alone actually improve anything LOL

[lone dragon]

Ok, so killing level 40(which I finally managed to do with Crit crew) I need to kill 3796 of them, and for the heroic one it's 9111 kills. Sorry Scopely, I don't have months of 24/7 grinding time to spare.

[wet crag]

yeash there's a huge jump somewhere, because ops 39 could happily kill lvl 39 ships and only needed a few hundred for even the heroic, but my ops 56, not a chance on level

[quiet gulch]

exactly, i think that perhaps a few extra 0's were added unintentionally, lol

[upbeat crater]

Regarding the ‘new’ V’GER event/grind.

Because Scopely don’t seem to think my time is worth anything, I’ve added a rule now to all events and SMS’s in this game, mainly for my own sanity, and its a rule that I’d encourage all to do for your own mental health

If I can’t complete any SMS grind in 4 trips out or less, I ain’t doing it at all.

EVER!

With this new V’GER event, I’ve taken 5 trips out with my best crew and ship, while my weaker USS Dauntless auto grinds less powerful hostiles, and only completed half of the SMS………. just half of it.

This grind and event is now dead to me. I will not ever do it again.

Scopely doesn’t care at all about my time, so I will not care at all about the time and ‘effort’ they put into these events. And as this basically a copy/paste of the existing Fatu Krey mechanic, I use the term effort quite wrongly.

The single worse and most tone-deaf developer in all gaming history.

[lapis zephyr]

Jump is 40 to 41. 40 is fine. 41 - not fine.

[wet crag]

ugh, well im not gonna go kill 68,000 ships just to do my SMS LOL, thanks

[quiet gulch]

and you definitely should not. Go touch grass!

[lapis zephyr]

Nobody should. All this is just silly nonsense!

[shadow trellis]

How about 67,000 would that be ok

[lime dew]

When I initially read the comments on this board, looking for recommendations on crewing and so forth, I was quite concerned that the event would be impossible. It ended up taking me about 35 minutes and 80% of a single hull.

The math on scoring looks to be a need to kill 50 ships at your level. I am level 60; this requires 50 ships to complete the SMS if I am killing level 60 hostiles. So that is a reasonable set up.

I suspect the real issue is a combination of either players advancing too quickly, and not actually being strong enough to take on some of these hostiles, or not crewing correctly. We have seen a strong shift to needing different crews to tackle different tasks which I do think adds an interesting element to the game.

[wet crag]

great, good for you, I have tried over 30 different crew combinations and havent managed to kill a single ship remotely near my level, 118 is practically dead because None of us can be bothered, entirely alliances havent got any people placing on the boards at all because of this

[tranquil yew]

800 kills and looking at the SLB i'm the only one on my server to complete the SMS, ops 51-55

[wet crag]

when you consider that the Orions which are also being complained about as seemingly boosted today have health a 60th of the size of these bioships ...

[quiet gulch]

At level hostiles shouldnt equate to fully optimized on research

[wet crag]

I mean I am dealing with these Orions that people have struggled with again today, so the fact i barely scratch a bioship regardless of crewing suggestions is nuts

[quiet gulch]

the exception would be specialty ships

[tidal anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> the scoring on the mid level V'ger event is a mess and needs to be addressed 6+hrs on the same event and still not compleated please help us out here some way and thank you

[fringe fossil]

Exactly right. Unless there are crazy rewards it isn't worth it. I completed the SMS yesterday which got me 1 good pull - and that gave me some Transporter Patterns and 1000 offfice tokens. Completely worthless.

[austere bay]

<@&509690795536941056> we got so many neutral systems..... why choose systems were people might actually need to go to farm some specific hostiles

[fluid igloo]

The 71 system is the one you need to kill hostiles in for g7, so if you wanted to ascend but didn’t do the mission tough luck

[austere bay]

Nah thats a picture of aggregation systems. I ascendet alright but i woukd need that 66 system to get my aggregation loot 😅 building is only lv 66. And 63s take forever to get 500k

[fluid igloo]

I know, but as of right now you literally can’t get to g7 unless you can kill the 71 8472

[austere bay]

Like i said, why choose systems where you actually might need to go lol. We got so many neutral systems

[errant jetty]

what is EVEN this?!?! How The Hades does 2 chests become worth more than 7 of 1 chest choices? Someone forget the simple ideal of mathematics? Better not be Core Mechanics

[fluid igloo]

Are you new here? Chest inflation has always been there

[vestal cloak]

<@&509690795536941056> not sure why I'm not getting an answer regarding the outpost quickstart favour - got it, used it, how to I replenish?

[tidal anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> 7.5Hrs to compleate 1 sms come on guys you can do better than this please change the scoring before the next event this was way to much to expect from players

[errant jetty]

thinking you're the new one here... Politics don't belong here, and Inflation is political

[austere bay]

When they said they want do create more "engaging" events they probably meant that you need to "engage" in multiple hours a day now 🤣

[tidal anvil]

no kidding

[limber stream]

Hey buddy, inflation is math. They are talking about the inflation of the game economy. Everyone who has played the game for 5 minutes knows what he is talking about.

[austere bay]

Also when they said "we missed the mark" with flashpoint and sarris, they probably meant that they didnt suk enough yet lol

[sullen badger]

<@&509690795536941056>

[wintry ember]

US servers are the 26th. Tomorrow

[sinful heart]

Have said the exact same thing. And using the same avatar lol

[idle parcel]

They never learn, or don't care, or both. What about refusing to grind thousands of ships do they not understand? We tell this to them every time. Doing this to "new" content only gets us hating it. New is in quotes, as these are just recycled fatus with worse rewards. Also, who wants to grind all that for chance rewards?

[random meadow]

Exactly this. New and engaging content, my 🍑

[pliant quail]

they need to develop an in house simulator, to predict how much (time, hulls) it will take for a player to complete. Then do sampling from each cohort, and optimize to a target. They can adjust loot up or down with their desired difficulty. But just putting a random score target doesn't speak to if its achievable. Which is what they currently seem to do.

[civic oak]

<@&509690795536941056> can anyone please address if our quark tasks should be at 400 at this point if we did everything vs 300? My score shows 300 but I did all 4 quark sms tasks

[tranquil yew]

Same event again. No way.

[tacit zephyr]

What I find funny is that every time Scopely releases a hostile ship that no one can destroy, the same four paying players always show up here on Discord, trying to blame us for leveling up too fast, or trying to explain to a free player how to play to destroy the new hostile ships, without considering that they have what they have because they paid, and the free player can't have it.

[quiet gulch]

So after calculations, its not the point systems that is messed up..its the hostile difficulty that needs to be addressed. At every point At Lvl Hostiles will only require you to kill 50-51 hostiles.

[short pier]

Scopely removing invasion and then immediately copy-pasting it to try and redeem the least interesting arc in ages is genuinely the funniest thing they could've possibly done.

[scarlet tartan]

Actual odds are worse on rewards. 500 depot tokens on 3rd pull. Less than 3k total. So far, no officer shards, no artifact shards = 6 coin flips in a row all fails. Odds of that are 1/64. Has anyone gotten better luck?

And the new artifact is weak! 10% loot bonus on unlock, max 180%?

[limber stream]

I don’t think it’s a free player thing. My entire alliance has nope’d out of this event. Day one all of us complained. Some did it, some did not. Day 2 we decided to not bother. Just individually. Whales too. We’re just prepping for incursions and ignoring this time-suck with bad rewards.

[sullen badger]

Whales gotta whale…

[surreal warren]

Multiple players already have reported this bug (myself included) and Simpauly is on this right now: #👾-bug-reporting message

We are waiting for an official statement/acknowledgement in #🛠-known-issues on this event scoring bug.

[celest sage]

Here's some event feedback...its its not an isolated incident

[short pier]

Honestly the biggest issue is that we're just working toward a long-term goal that relies on another event that Scopely will just conveniently forget to run ever again

So why bother??

Even if I cared about this FT or whatever... odds are basically zero I get it before ya'll just stop running the event, and it'll sit there half-finished for 5 more years until you add another path to it like all the event projectile skins and stuff that I have halfway completed

[idle parcel]

I think it's worse than we think. These scoring metrics are about the same as the new Augments were. They just copied and pasted that with a copy and paste of the Fafu event. A simulator would be good, but even better, have these people play the game themselves after work and see how much time they have to do anything else. Then, to add insult to injury, they give us day 2 of the same, hundred plus red kills. Nope.

[surreal warren]

compensation chest is out and added the missing 100 points to quarks event (now at 400).
claim it and then you are back on track for correct scoring...

thank you very much @near saddle for your fast response and solving our event scoring issue. 👍

[near saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-welcome-gif-2309461136654146376

[sullen badger]

Scopely also saying “You’re Welcome!” With these less than wanted or desirable Vger Species and Events. So I don’t think using this meme means what you think it means @near saddle

[surreal warren]

he was using a different IP meme - so its okay for me

[sand eagle]

Toujours 5 min environ entre la fin de l'vent et la possibilité de prendre les cadeaux.... Déjà dit, mais tellement d'actualité : au lieu de nous réinventer des events (par ex abandon des Fatu trucs, remplacés par l'event V'ger (soi-dit en passant, impossible à atteindre, mais tellement similaires), vous pourriez passer un peu de votre temps à vous atteler à éliminer les bugs récurrents. B o r d e l de m e r d e !!!!

[sullen badger]

https://tenor.com/view/barely-made-it-almost-not-quite-okay-interview-gif-16636811

[sullen badger]

Translation: It's still about 5 minutes between the end of the event and being able to collect the gifts... I've said it before, but it's still so relevant: instead of reinventing events (e.g., abandoning the Fatu stuff, replaced by the V'ger event (which, by the way, is impossible to achieve, but so similar)), you could spend some of your time fixing the recurring bugs. Damn it!!!!

[stable bronze]

dunno who's bright idea it was to not only have an extra slb on thursday for the 20-50 ops on doing fkr armadas.. but to also have incursion on that day too.. talk about terrible planning

[fresh whale]

They need something to get people out of their stations waiting for that farce of an event to finish

[stable bronze]

then they shouldnt do it on a week day but a week end were im guessing more people would be on playing

[stoic linden]

Oh its perfect timing grab that loot exo and gogogo

[nocturne mountain]

Scopely, oh Scopely, what have thou done?
Those V'ger hostiles were already bad.
But this event?
When we say, it can't get much worse, IT'S NOT A CHALLENGE!
And the rewards are ridiculous considering the amount of time and resources one has to spend.
To me, this event was DOA
Maybe you better fix the problems you already have instead of creating new ones.
Just saying.
🖖🏼

[stoic linden]

I'm glad that was deleted maybe they should stop punching down instead

[surreal warren]

some people have read it anyway

[stoic linden]

So they should still have the same takeaway. Stop punching down. I logged in this morning and did the same event in 10 minutes while in bed. People need to invest in their accounts a bit more

[surreal warren]

wait... are you serios or trolling? 🤔

[stoic linden]

I don't see why you would ask that question. 🤔

[surreal warren]

the player complained in the ticket to complete an event he has to kill 24.800 NPC and the support guy literally said "yes we know... please go away now."

and yo state you can kill the same amount of NPC within a 10 minutes time window.
So i guess you either are using a hack for the game or simply comparing apples to oranges.

[stoic linden]

Um.. no. Sorry let me clarify.

The amount is not amount of hostile kills. It's amount of points earned. The higher level hostile killed the more points earned.

Hence. Stop punching down

[civic oak]

Got it, thanks @near saddle

[worn crypt]

If your account is up to date with research/buildings/ships, this event shouldn't take longer than 30 min pepole should stop complaining about the consequences of neglecting their accounts even with MPC crew if you laizie its 1h any longer than that, and you should have look what you are missing, as it's not the hostile to blame its the player that needs improving

[frozen dock]

So out of interest then what was you full crew and you tech additions as given everything in my alliance and server it feels like we have a few Devs gaslighting everyone - you’re imaging it 💩 even out L70+s are not bothering now and suggesting this is the death throws of the game

[frozen dock]

What is you crew then ? I am not exactly behind and this is as it is for most of our server a hot mess that most skipping over

[surreal warren]

regarding the feedback on my server over 90% of the players dont even try or care anymore about Vger NPC

event is DoA (and badly recyled, but worsened from fatu krey ofc)

[worn crypt]

Done the event in less than 30 min didn't bother trying to get the best crew possible

[idle parcel]

I love how there are always people in here defending the ridiculous events Scopely puts out. I'm not punching down, and it still took me a long time yesterday. If you're hitting 4 levels above your ops, good for you. Here is a 🍪.

But, to gaslight and blame others because they aren't as great as you is exactly the toxicity in this game that people seek to avoid and is just one more thing that makes it no longer enjoyable.

There's no defending having to kill 100s of reds to complete an event. Maybe you're retired and have no life.

Most people on here have families and jobs and outside interests like hiking, watching movies, making dinner, going to the gym, hanging out with friends, etc. besides stfc. I said a long time ago that it's become a full-time job to do everything on here, and I'm not wrong. I know I'm also not the only one who feels that way, so stop gaslighting people when literally entire alliances with different levels and power are deciding to skip these events.

It's a cut and paste from the old Augment event, which caused many to quit the game.

Stop defending this nonsense.

[naive estuary]

Scopely, was seid'n Ihr für Heinis? Wieso bin ich mit 70ern in einer EBL? Spinnt Ihr jetzt komplett?

[frozen dock]

Absolute bull 30% of my ship for one 67

[worn crypt]

I'm ops 50, and got no problem killing my lvl if you lost that much, that means you are missing research/buildings lvl hostile has a big gun idealy 5 rounds on the 10th round it fire go home gun

[wispy leaf]

I'm sure somebody else mentioned it but what the ever living heck is up with L60 being 140Bn power when L61 is at 100Bn?

[worn crypt]

sorry had to recall ship and re send it to the system hence taken so long

[viral drift]

You ought to be ashamed, two ours of grinding on two days. A lot of colourful rewards and what do you get? Two times the less than 1000 officer depot tokens in the "amity" section, so not even two times 25 % of an officer shard in the event store. Really? Shame on you. Those aren't rewards but slaps in the face for players that several times a day get frustrated about lag and bugs. You really have NO honour.

[stone quarry]

Why lie to players about the reason Saris Invasion Events were removed. It's evident that VGER hostile events are a cut and paste of the Saris hostile events in which Scopley said was not working as they had intended.
@near saddle <@&509690795536941056>

[frozen dock]

Try that at ops 69 i have no more hostile research to do, my hostile artifacts are maxed etc stop gaslighting me. I dipped counting the ships i lost this is the one time i engage with this event.

[worn crypt]

higher lvl players in my alliance used this to help out with crews https://stfc.phd/parser and yes, you are right on igher lvl's guys in my alliance where strugling too i do apologise for any confusion

[umbral apex]

Lemon squizzy :)))) (metreon cascade and godsend FT CT)

[frozen dock]

Ta NP but tbh I can have more fun on the PS5 than with this event or is terrible hostiles are stupidly hard, rewards are bag of poop i only did this while on holiday watching the TV on a normal day i have better things to do

[frozen dock]

Best so far can do a few 68’s no 69’s though I want to see how long it takes and how many ships longer than15 minutes i am out i have family stuff to do and deal with

[round tangle]

Double pull, with the insane amount of time required to get enough credits to do this…it’s not worth it

[round tangle]

Here’s one pull of the other chest, 3 shards and one officer shard. Weak rewards

[pure forge]

best I can do is kill level 40s without much hull damage. I did some quick math - at my Ops level I would need to kill 1,450 hostiles. At an average of 30 seconds per hostile (G4 space is extremely crowded where hostiles are. . .imagine that!), it would take 12 HOURS of continuous play to complete the event. The heroic event would take around 29 hours at 30 seconds per kill. I've got people IN MY ALLIANCE that are doing the gaslighting thing of "x figured this out, why can't you". . .well I don't have 12 hours per day to do the SMS so I'm not participating.

[idle parcel]

Wow. That's insane. No one should have to spend that much time to complete an event. The gaslighting is wrong. Scopely is out of touch and doesn't care.

[pure forge]

at least the chests from the event are unadulterated trash. Scopely has the audacity to roll out this event that a small fraction are able to complete, then rewards them with hot garbage.

[idle parcel]

Right. It was an insult to see those.

[gray stirrup]

Almost 10x for a double payout? Seriously wtf?

[tacit ferry]

Vger - juice is not worth the squeeze 😣

[unique dome]

Late response to this. I specificially said I didn't expect 'easy mode' and for it to take more time. I complained that (and verified by alliance mates who have more research and officer levels than I do) even beyond those factors that the numbers needed to kill are terrible. I got through 2 milestones killing a few hundred of those things at multiple levels. 'Harder because I need to catch up in some places' is fine. Sometimes not beating a L58 hostile with a L40 Ent-D with a maxed E-data, T3 E-Pic and Janeway, Maxed Torres, almost maxed Chapel/WOK Joachim and 2 damage exocomps is just FLAT OUT STUPID OF SCOPELY.

The point is......one shouldn't have to have everything maxed to complete an event. That's part of what the Heroic events are for.

[vestal basin]

two pulls in a row on the v'ger amity exchange that gave only 500 officer depot tokens. skipping these events going forward unless rewards improve

[low radish]

Nah, at this point, no improvements will make me engage. I want comp chests for wasted time

[tacit zephyr]

That's Scopely's sales policy. Buy one, get one free, and pay for ten, and sometimes you pay for a hundred. If any store here in Spain did that, the owner would already be in jail for fraud.💩 🤮

[warm kestrel]

the period between battlepasses is a time for optional events. thank you for your attention to this matter.

[ocean crypt]

so , still stupid scoring sizes for the vger species events, i do not want to be killing 400 or 500 hostiles just to complete an event and so does anyone else, theres is definitely no quality of life grinding this stupid amount of hostiles for weak loot ,not worth time and effort, reduce the amount needed for event completions, increase the amount gained per lv killed, out of order having to drop to lv 66s just to have a crew that works and kills these species before they reach round 10, can't even kill a hostile my own ops size, so yet again impossible hostiles by a non thinking non caring corrupted company that does not deserve to be running any type of game online

[tacit zephyr]

I completed the event in 2 minutes. I opened the event, looked at it, looked at the hostiles, looked at the rewards, closed everything, and said "event completed."🚽 🧻

[jolly condor]

Yup to long

[wintry ember]

Another Wed another time sucking event. 10 Orions, 30 mins travel time. 10 Hull repairs. Scopley is so winning the Quality of Life Improvements they have been working on.

[obsidian quiver]

Scopley, Are you ever going to answer the mail about this 8472 event? People have legitimate issues with it. Some kind of response would be a great thing rather than radio silence.

[rancid oriole]

Skipping this event. It's not worth my time. I'm rooting for you Scopely but you don't help yourself with these ridiculous event milestones.

[granite quartz]

this goddamn 8472 event would take me a peachy 2 hours to complete on the low end. not to mention all the systems on my server are filled to the brim. scopely what are we doing. this is bs

[naive estuary]

<@&509690795536941056>
Sorry, but you are becoming increasingly stingy every week.

The bottom line is that what comes out of the V'Ger double boxes is pathetic, and the fact that I, as an OPS 61, am allowed to fight in an SLB with OPS 70 is truly absurd.

Tell me, what chances are we supposed to have there?

Combined with all the failures in recent weeks – please, what reason could anyone still have to continue playing? It's getting more absurd every week.

You can't even manage to finally get rid of that ‘1’ in the alliance help.

[fluid gust]

may sound stupid, but did you try the lvl70's?
for some reason despite having higher stats than lvl69's, they end up taking more damage.

[fluid gust]

just confirmed that lvl51's are weaker than 46's, but still a lot stronger than 45's.

[oak crescent]

I very much dislike having to compete with ops 70 players in the V'ger Offensive Suppression SLB as an ops 63. just by virtue of them being ops 70 and (I would hope) having a g6 epic, or even just a rare, they can reach far higher systems than I can and score 5x as many points per kill as me

I miss the good old days when each SLB bracket was 5 ops ranges

[indigo cliff]

<@&509690795536941056> Yeah, tell management to go bugger themselves. A double pull on the only event box worth anything (at a whopping 117 million) and I got 27.5 k Syndicate xp. Period. No shards, no directives. That was it. This is truly pointless. The rewards are so bad, I’d take Monty Hall’s door number 3 at this point.

[indigo cliff]

Ops 64, and I feel the same. Battled my way to 4th, but after my above post, I will not bother. The rewards are truly pathetic.

[oak crescent]

at this point, I just want to stay in top 5. I'd be #1 (by a fairly wide margin) if the brackets were 61-65/66-70

[indigo cliff]

Same. Heck, I don’t even mind fighting this hard, but for what? Less Syndicate experience than I get from a single DAILY pull from DTI. Stuff it, Digit. <@&509690795536941056>

[quiet flume]

Even with normal brackets, the #1 spot feels lackluster. I feel icky with this event arc.

[indigo cliff]

I’ve surpassed icky to full on 🤢🤮 lol

How to make Sarris Invasion worse? Wa la! You’re welcome.

[oak crescent]

look on the bright side. at least there's no armada that you can only run 1 of without spending $ :p

[quiet flume]

Yet.

[frank osprey]

Scope absolutely lies about chest % amounts or doesn't give you an accurate %. I said yesterday that when you have 4 similar items(at varying amounts) to roll for, the lowest amount you can pull is at 50% chance, the next higher amount is 25-30%, the the next highest amount is 15-20% and the highest amount you can pull for only has a 5% chance of being pulled, or worse. It's gacha without saying it.

Every week I pull 21 voyager commendation(?) chests in the voyager refinery for battleship, interceptor and explorer parts. Each of those pulls has a 30% chance to give rare ship parts in the chest as a bonus and it might happen in 1 box a week. Then I can go down to the risky opportunity chest in the nx-01 refinery, pull 1 chest that has 1 roll each for uncommon, rare and epic ex-borg credits. Each has a 30% at being an SoL, 5 credit unlucky roll. Almost every chest, one or more of those rolls hit that 30%. Try it. I guarantee if you pull a risky opportunity chest, at least one of the credit amounts will be 5.

[merry violet]

Stop designing hostiles to need one particular officer. Why do we have so many officers then? The point was to make a good crew with what you have, not get one particular officer.
I don't care if it's easy to code. I don't care if you want to promote that one. The game has a crud-ton of things to use, to do better, and by your own design you will not let players play that way.
You leave so much in the game while making most of it either marginally useful or useless, and then boo-hoo about stability.
Scopely is causing the problems Scopely claims to be trying to address.

[opaque hawk]

So umm, explain to me how it makes sense to replace most of the high level aggregation systems with vger event hostiles. do that crap in systems that arent already a specific loop hostile...

[agile latch]

Station attack bug 😅 glad incursion not coming in the next days... Oh

[late orchid]

So youre new vger store redeems dont even guarantee the new Artifact shards or guaranteed epic shards? Wow... way to be cheap scopley...

[upper mango]

Sssso you’re saying there is … a chance?

[frank osprey]

Don't worry. It's going to be a 6 day long event at the end of every arc from now on. Guess faction hunt and CoW are getting stale.

[frank osprey]

Legacy of Voyager. Heroic event and leaderboard. Not even gotten the 1st solo milestone completed with no more G5 mats in any amount to use and nothing to use G3-4 mats on and I'm in the 11-25th place bracket in the LB. How's that for player participation?

[dark topaz]

do not every ops has the quark bp? i am ops66 and don’t see it

[warm kestrel]

are the echos b/c the room is empty? thanks for making this one easy to skip

[opaque hawk]

theres a quark bp? oh wait, didnt that end the other day?

[dark topaz]

i guess they are writing something about quark probe hunt, isn‘t this a bp event 😆

[barren locust]

It’s ops 20-50 so you won’t see it

[alpine lance]

This V'ger event is challenging. Fine. But when you go to reap the rewards and get 500 officer depot tokens... Well it just feels like a big waste of time.

[deep patio]

Now I can't kill the regular V'ger hostiles of my level. Suddenly they're so strong? what gives <@&509690795536941056> ?

[errant wind]

The rewards for effort is ridiculous, nothing in the vger store that is useful for the amount of grinding necessary. Unfortunately this is all going down hill fast , try completing it hitting ops 71 vger , I don’t have all day scopley to play your buggy game

[tender basin]

Ops 63 here. Can hit level 65 hostiles. Calculated that I would need to hit over 20,000 level 65s to match that of the top spot in SLB, who is Ops70 and possibly achieved that score by hitting about 1,800 level 70s or even 5,000 level 68s.
This SLB bracket is not fair in the slightest. But bracketing is a recurring problem in this game.

[slate coral]

New vger event requires too many kills to complete, both solo and heroic sms.

By my math at level 68 i need 50 level 68 kills to do the daily sms and 120 level 68 kills to finish the heroic sms.

Usually events like this would require closer to 20 equal level kills for the regular sms and 50 equal level kills for a heroic.

[ocean crypt]

so, no response from the management about the unreasonable vger species scores and pts for kills, then leads to no point in any player whatsoever taking part in this pathetic attempt of a mini arc

[fluid igloo]

(i did 70s, first place 71)

[fluid gust]

you've got it easy.
it's closer to 500 for ops49, since they gave ops46-50 players high G5 hostiles.

[naive estuary]

<@&509690795536941056>

I really wonder who would still want to put themselves through this. Apart from the cool people in my alliance and on my server, there's nothing really keeping me here anymore.
Poor event design,
unachievable SLB (me 61, together with 70s, sorry, are you crazy?).
Kir Shara gets stuck in solo waves,
mines are displayed freely even though someone is mining,
I don't even want to mention the help button,
and I'm sure something will go wrong with Arena and Incursion too.
Recently, the bases in the TT were shielded during incursion (did they pay for, hmmm?), and support still hasn't responded.

Who on earth is going to invest time and money in such a mess when it's getting more and more joyless every day?

[lapis cloak]

this V'Ger event is so horrible.. if they have the event a third day in a row without any adjustment i will be so angry.

[opal glade]

No kidding, with incursions I can’t spend 3 hours trying to get enough hostiles to finish. Too bad the ones that work for me are in a hazard system

[opaque hawk]

Try the ones in aggregation.so many there maybe one will be right level

[slate coral]

Are you looking at how many level 49 kills you need?

Or how many kills u need of the ones you can kill?

I cannot kill the ones my level, i gotta kill lower than my level and kill higher numbers.

If i could kill ones my level i would have to kill 50 for the daily and 120 for the heroic.

50 is still a lot regardless of whether or not i can do it; even if i could, 50 isn't fast to grind out.

[fluid gust]

500 is kills needed for the closest available target(lvl45), since the hostiles labeled as lvl49 are effectively lvl59 hostiles.

[boreal coyote]

Punitive, unrewarding, demoralizing, discouraging. You get the idea. This is paltry and just another in a long line of the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. How have we become so disjointed…….

[random knot]

Umm incursions?

[terse yoke]

so does this mean both servers win so all get the rewards?

[brisk dagger]

Can't switch servers for incursion S34.... TC still can shield
<@&509690795536941056>

[slate coral]

My point is that i see a final requirement of about 2.5x as many points are usually needed...

If your milestones are similar to mine you would need 5000 points (50 kills at about 1k per kill) to reach final milestone on the daily.

Im saying the final goal for a 49 should be closer to 2k instead

[merry flax]

as part of the client update, the incursion button will now be sent to your email....🤣

[flat coral]

Breaking raiding last night: great work
Having incursions today and NO crossover button: fantastic work. Bonuses for the whole office

I squint really hard.

[flat coral]

We go against 63 today and there is a player from 63 we let onto our server discord (quarantined into a visitors channel) and we're roasting this situation together. As a team.

[ocean arch]

If they won't cancel Arena, good luck with Incursions lol. But I agree

[crimson tree]

Incursion is who ever has a quadrillion resource base fail to shield loses. Arenas are who ever has the bigger spenders wins. PvP in this game is just so beyond imbalanced it is insane. lol they ruined arenas completely when they nerfed speed crews and You could no longer just out run the ego spending whale and be able to pull off a win.

[tiny hedge]

nerfed speed crews how?

[flat coral]

Proof 🤣 this is the 89 discord.

[chilly remnant]

Hey guys, I found the button! It's purchasable under miscellaneous items in the store for 100$ like everything else.

[crimson tree]

They put a cap on impulse speed in arenas.

[tender wadi]

I don't do Arenas, I shield up for 24 hours for Incursions... As far as I am concerned they are both a waste of time!

[tiny hedge]

oh that was a long time ago lol

[ocean arch]

You all just need to get your hands on the new Override Bugs Prime. $99 for 25% and 10 levels. The first level you don't get retrieving. Stuff like this you need l8, which would cost about $2500

Yep and I haven't touched arenas just as long. lol

[tiny hedge]

is our roe still suspended or like pending lol

thats what i wonder lol

[flat coral]

We are gonna get surprise visitors whenever this gets randomly unbroken so until they officially cancel, 89 is operating as if they're on and just extending the purge.

its either going to start in 3 mins. 1 hour 3 mins or be cancelled is what i assume.

[flat coral]

Did you accidentally account for DST and set it for an hour late for some reason? Did all the messaging break the fragile game infrastructure?

My assumption is it's set for normal midday reset

[ocean arch]

why isn't this automated? why isn't prep?

clear local and it wokrs

[flat coral]

Your first incorrect assumption was assuming things in this game will work. They changed the day and suddenly it's busted.

Oh god we're gonna get surprised incursions on Saturday 🤣

[idle parcel]

Exactly. You can get destroyed in incursions in just 15 minutes or less if a whale is unshielded.

[crimson tree]

Or someone decides to throw.

[tiny hedge]

you dont got to be a whale to have high rss....

[flat coral]

Every ops level above 20 just exacerbates this. That's where it quite literally starts. You go from 2 to 4 to 7 to 10 ops above you that can hit you and by the time you get to 42, it's clear to 70 and just keeps increasing.

[tiny hedge]

i have the most rss on my server and not whale. its fixed now

[flat coral]

I'm f2p and I have a Q in my base as a G5 just because I watch my shields 😅

[glass pewter]

<@&509690795536941056> another spend event with no announcement so players can’t plan or choose. Making it so much easier to walk away from the game

[robust bronze]

“Echoes of V’Ger” must be the most boring & pain-in-the-bottom event ever. Please change it or discontinue

[tiny hedge]

im f2p and i have 48.85Q

[blazing dune]

Cross over working

[glass pewter]

So an event with heavy grind that players keep complaining about, runs during incursions.

[late isle]

Maybe not have events that require players to leave ships out during incursions...or hunt ships during incursions....or mine during incursions....

[tacit zephyr]

They slowed down the speed because some Whales, in particular, complained that the free players were going too fast and they couldn't catch them. The arena was created to inflate the Whales' egos, not to frustrate the poor things; they might get depressed and stop paying Scopely.

[robust vine]

<@&509690795536941056> Im OPS 71 and never got the Schematic Salvage event for the Vengeance Blueprints, the support told me that my account isn’t ready for this event. What is this supposed to mean? I’m spending mats for the solo milestones and don’t get anything extra, you really want to force me to spend 3 Millionen g6 resources?!?!?

And I also got the now active regional leaderboard for the Aphelion

Thursday is possibly the worst day to have incursions...

[placid basalt]

Today’s events are really poorly picked for the US servers to be successful. The bp event for mining and 4 armada events are absolutely awful for us because you decided we need incursions to be today. It feels like we were set up for failure in comparison to the other regions.

[tender breach]

Are we supposed to be able to play the game today? I did your client update and logging in is damn near impossible and when I actually get in, the game freeze lags me back out.

[viral kayak]

I words I would like to use to express myself will only get me banned, Let's put it simply and say I'm disappointed

[summer mason]

are we really running Incursions with that V'GER Species PVE event that's literally taking people HOURS to complete in very limited systems where folks can just sit and pot-shot folks trying to PVE in a barrel?

WTG team, WTG.

[clear flax]

Scopely running mining event during incursions. Right…..

[manic sinew]

This is Scopely's way of gently telling us we're not rage spending enough during incursions.

[coarse iris]

Officer depot tokens 3 in a row. How you guys plan for us to unlock Elias vger sensor?

[blissful scarab]

fkr armada event while eclipse event really suks 🤦‍♂️

[solid mulch]

Peace shields in territory is dumb during an incursions. Probably needs to be fixed now that the crossover button is fixed.

[strong lintel]

<@&509690795536941056> Was it intentional to put the US incursion on a weekday while the other two groups get weekend dates? Also why are they back-to-back and we have a gap between the other two groups? It feels intentional to put the incursion on Thursday so that Apex event completion is more difficult. A lot of people are going to avoid the Echoes of V'ger systems and augment systems because there are mid-ops events for those regions. It is significantly harder to complete events, play the game, and progress when there is so little care put into making sure the events make sense.

[ocean arch]

(works hard on v'ger event gets pull) 500 Officer Depot tokens!?!? Really?? This is a joke. Give real rewards or don't have events boooo! No random chance bs

[novel patio]

Stop doing such events is the only way they gonna listen.

People complaining but still finishing events results in continuing these events. Why should they change it? 🤷‍♂️

[strong lagoon]

Stop doing Events? Do you think they even care? Stop paying… well, that’s a horse of a different color

@topichi yeah, everything is for the ego of the whales. They are even renaming systems on behalf of the bigf spenders. Gross. I stopped doing arenas, as it's all about who spent the most money. F2p players don't stand a chance.

[vague spire]

if you insist on incursions on a thursday...why not have the start staggered at least 4 hours from the turnover on events so the people that truely hate the incursion can still play the game

[ocean arch]

There are more than one. They never talk. That's my head canon.

[junior pond]

Yes, but all means let's put armada events, an event that is best suited for auto grinding, and then a mining battlepass event on incursions day.

Not to mention the ridiculous grind v'ger event that's still there days later with the same all day grind milestones

[upbeat harbor]

I don't want anyone to take this in any way other than honest to goodness curiosity.... Whose idea was it to have a client update on the same day as incursions. I can count on one hand, with fingers to spare, how many days went smoothly immediately after a client update.

[tranquil veldt]

Incursions on the same day as V’ger pve events, what a terrible idea.

[upbeat harbor]

i'm good with more ppl to shoot! just send a grinder and a guardian. lol

[quaint parrot]

Run PvE events and Incursion at the same time is not a good idea: they may create interactions among players and this is not bueno, no bueno no no.

[ruby lion]

Can't fight because I can't select the target. Get your crap fixed or hang it up. Why should anyone pay for this garbage you put out.

[keen stump]

This is possibly the worst planned day for events in the entire life of STFC. Multiple mining events, multiple armada events, multiple hostile grinding events. All happening on the same day as Infinite Incontinence. (The only proper name for Incursions) Whoever made this schedule and whoever was supposed to supervise and approve the schedule should never be allowed to plan the calendar again.

[native mist]

why would anyone care about this event to begin with. The rewards are pathetic for the amount of grind it takes. Like as a 68 I can kill 66s wwhich would take I don't know how long ot grind and for what? The best part is that Ilia thingy and once you realize that Outpost rewards are just as if not even 💩 this thing is nothing to write home about after all. so just forget about it enjoy a day off, or week, or maybe it makes you realize how much less aggrevation there is without thjis game and quit

I have to say, You guys really screwed me over with these events, even with 60+ million in power i made no head way with any of the events this week, also throwing a pvp event in the middle of it was not your best idea.

Feedback back on Echoes of V'ger. It takes a lot of time to grind through these dailies. I finally accumulated enough credits to do 3 pulls on the Amity chest that has the new artifact shards and pvp officer shards. 3 straight pulls and no shards in any of the pulls. Officer choice tokens only, and not that many, either. The Matching Law says that if the effort required is not matched with the rewards (reinforcement) received, the behavior will stop. For me, the event cost in time and effort isn't worth the lousy rewards received, and I plan to just ignore the rest of this event. It's worse than the Fatu Krey event it replaced. Go pound sand, Conor!

[warm kestrel]

I just want to say thank you to Scopely. I was starting to think I should buckle down and level up but the fact that I can't reach a single milestone in this ridiculous event has humbled me. I appreciate that. Now, instead of thinking about leveling up, I'm contemplating retirement #VotedMostBoringIncursion

[vestal cloak]

I haven't really participated in incursion for the last 3 as lag, and shielding knowledge has made it rather boring and pointless. Doing it on a Thursday with a few event I really care about ...wow. And to add to the BS, mining BP event during incursion. I realize most events are just cut and paste to you, but do better.

[versed grotto]

Very laggy right now, base was stck in combat after battle forcing a reset and have been booted 4 other times while trying to attack or being attacked... ridiculous

[copper shadow]

6 months ago I forgot to reset my shield on incursions and it took me 85 minutes of trying to log in to actually log into game while during that time I was completely drained. Now I'm not complaining about the hits which was way too many of course and system couldn't track that in battle reports. I decided to not partake in incursions ever again I'm not a huge pvp'er yes I do raid if I'm low in rss or even for the subpar event rewards during incursions. What I dont like is the inability to log in while my base is being assaulted (can't say the word we all know we would say at this). Which is mind baffling to be honest on why it seems to do this. This has been reported many times by others in my server and even on here and not even during an incursions day. I'd want to say do better but we all know you can't you got rid of Frey katu event due to lack of interest and then after awhile copy pasta a new event with different hostile thats even worse by a factor of 10x to the 2nd power of go boom. when fatu katu or whatever they're called was here i was in the 50s could grind 61s with ease it was like putting butter on bread easy. Fast forward to now I'm stronger in the 60s have even stronger crew and ships and can only kill lv51 8472 vger enemies. So in the space of 6 or so months my stfc power went up dramatically but my hostile hitting power went down even more dramatically. Wouldn't bother me so much if and I repeat if I wouldn't have to hit 2300 of those lv51 ships for a single event thst doesn't count for any other of your hostile sms events or even count for the daily milestones so I have to hostile cap myself and then for anything else I get no rewards just bashing ships for the events which incase you didn't know give yep you guessed the theme very scrappy rewards as well.Anyways this is my rant as I know scopley never reads honest feedback unless it sucks up to them they wouldn't read this or do anything anyways.

[mystic lion]

Same here. The more power my ships get the powerless i become because of the only content left - apart from finishing ships like the Defiant, and ISS Jelly which are obsolete long before maxing - is way too hard. I’m running out of research as well, and only upgrading Ops will get new research - which will make ops locked stuff even more impossible. Try speed up sigma stuff and you’ll be broke in no time. Why offer a game which makes it impossible to do anything useful? Why make it last for literally years before a ship can be maxed, by which time it is already surpassed by new ships? All in all my appetite fot this game is taking a dive.

[vague spear]

Yep, this is why after making it to tier 2 of rewards in the first day of the event I have not gone back. I did the math on the grind vs rewards and it’s not even close.

[vague spear]

I feel this

[rose ice]

<@&509690795536941056>

• The amount of lag when selecting a base is very bad
• I'm still getting the 5% bug when loading upon crossing over to the other server or returning home
• A large amount of our top players couldn't participate on a Thursday Incursions. Even though it's their favorite event every month.

I understand you made choices for increased game stability. I understand there's other work being done behind the scenes, and "under construction" means things aren't perfect.

But, in spite of winning, this Incursions has been a frustrating, less fun experience.

Hope it's better soon!

@raw adder @floral folio

[copper shadow]

I'm sure many of the players in the game for a good long time now has been quite aware that yes you can camp and become a very strong ops39 for example. The thing is when you do camp the game doesn't stop it keeps going forward with new metrics and research that will rebuffed anything you're trying to catch up on. Only good thing about camping is winning those slbs for officers(that usally get nerfed within 3-6months) so no point in camping anymore at all that stopped way back when they unleashed g4 economy and sped up even faster in g5. The reason I bring up camping is it feels like thats the only choice now other than paying 2k a month just to be able to feel like I'm not getting weaker every arc. Instead of progression as Scopley wants they ruin that train by hitting us with hostiles that unless you're in the top 1%-5% of all server players you can't kill things effectively anymore if its new content.Which means less progress as we fall behind because we can all agree if we cant kill the new stuff we dont engage if we dont engage we dont get rewards if we dont get rewards we dont upgrade and if we dont upgrade we can't progress Do you scopley see the thin line connecting it all pretty sure I could make it easier to see but that might make some feel less smart or that I'm making fun of them. Anyways this message started as an agreement and is going to the bashing part and @mystic lion doesn't deserve that in a reply when it isn't focused against him rofl.

[naive estuary]

Dear Scopely, <@&509690795536941056>
I don't even want to point out how outrageous and frustrating the way Scopley has divided up the SLB groups is. Strangely enough, in the OPS 50 range, there is a subdivision from OPS 55 to OPS 60 in the 51 to 60 range. As OPS 61, I share the SLB with OPS 70s. I'll be happy to calculate again just how perverse that is.

Let's assume I'm aiming for third place. That's OPS 70. And it has 16 billion points. I currently have 914 million: I can easily manage the 65s, which give 2.18 million points per kill. So I would have to shoot down 6,998 ships. Let's conservatively estimate half a minute per kill (because of repairs, approach, etc.), which comes to 209,907 seconds, or 58.31 hours. Well, well.

And then the support team's statement that this was intentional is simply an unpleasant slap in the face for everyone who thought that with a little effort, something could be saved.

Scopely, that's exactly the best way to tell motivated players: Just give up, you don't stand a chance anyway.

[sinful heart]

Just fyi, I am sure there are plenty more examples of this…

But that isn’t some glorious victory. That is APATHY.

From folks been around long enough to realize that “Fetch” isn’t gonna happen.

We have the weak prizes.
And we don’t fall for the bs. 🙂

[vapid brook]

I don't know where to begin. Are the different people scheduling the events using the same calendar? Multiple events that require various armadas, killing ex-borg and WOK augments, mining, etc, are things that should NEVER be done during an incursion. Not to mention thursday events like the vindicator and Cube events. At the very least those "regular" events should be on extended timers. I don't know if alliances with Territory events scheduled for thursdays, were affected by this as well. When the hardware/software is improved enough to put us all back to the same day AKA Saturday, that would be great.

[spark radish]

Haha, Incursion Prep nowadays is just a 1 Day shield?

[vapid brook]

BTW, those V'Ger 8472 events are brutal. i and others have checked out of them due to the bad scoring for killing in our brackets. In my case, I would have needed to kill 600+ 8472 at level 45 to score enough for the daily and heroic events. At OPS 49, 45s are my limit. I do all the research available and ships are T11. The Relativity doesn't help to gp higher than 45 either. Tried several different crews and hard cap is still 45. 46 is insta-death. Maybe if i was 50 and had an Ent-A leveled it would be different.

[vapid brook]

better use a 3 day, 1 days are still buggy 😉

[glass pewter]

Another incursions another "technical marvel" by Scopely. More lag than normal plus the new fun of base scanning and attacking be broken. Should have been cancelled but Scopely doesn't care. And just for the record we won, but still a terrible experience all around.

[floral folio]

Incursions. I am very disappointed in losing out on participating in the incursion because it was on a weekday. Double so because the hour I was able to play it was sooo laggy I could not attack anything PvP or PvE. This was not an improvement on server performance.

Can we please move US back to Weekend incursions?

[spark radish]

The rewards are pretty terrible too, average of about 50 Ilia artefact shards if you pulled the entire 30 possible a month.

[pulsar hearth]

Scopely where are we at with those SLIDERS?

[surreal warren]

👆 especially a gifted free one from Scopely: expect it to pop early in under 20 hours
(low quality shields that didnt pass the QC are a common issue during Incursions)

[vital parcel]

Ok, if this is a standard 5 chest pull from Vger event then considering effort needed to grind it - IT'S A JOKE.

[novel mango]

Regional event means I skip it.

[grand fulcrum]

Not a single alliance on my server is on track to finish this AMS its halfway thru the event so should be at 12k+ to be on track to finish.... Plz change it to multi-tier AMS or just make the goal easier <@&509690795536941056> @wanton copper

[copper shadow]

to be honest I'm surprised my server is this low as many people seem to spend with abandon on it when new content starts but even us we ain't halfway

didn't want to do a ss of the alliances on my server for privacy issue's and too lazy to black out the names

[solid tangle]

You missed one rename, Scopely

[spark radish]

Same on mine.

[surreal warren]

do you mean this AMS...?

[idle parcel]

It feels great and freeing not having FOMO with these "new" hostiles to grind hundreds, if not thousands, a day for 💩 rewards. Terrible, terrible event.

[viral kayak]

Just remember everyone the scopely programmers are not completely useless, we can use them as a bad example!

[warped grove]

... what happened to all the other ship parts options? sure, it was just five different buckets of cerritos parts but at least they were there

[frozen dock]

I just did the daily solo took about 20 ships and 45 minutes never again I agree not worth even entertaining that sack of spanners. I tried to see if i could be bothered with the ridiculous grind turns out absolutly not

[idle parcel]

Ugh. Between the lag and these ridiculous events, I'm seriously considering just no longer playing this game. There are plenty of other things I could be doing. After we complained month after month about the horrendous grind, they keep doing this. They somehow wrongly think that killing thousands of new reds a day will endear us to the new content. It does just the opposite, and gets me that much closer to deleting my account.

[pulsar hearth]

this time they're not even new 🤡

[inland skiff]

Feedback: Doing a mining Battle Pass Event during an incursion is a sure way to tick off your player base.

had to wait a day or everything I waanted to say would have been against server rules.

[lime solar]

Update: apparently I did well enough to get two more pulls from the SLB. That's a total of five pulls I have received so far. I went ahead and did the remaining pulls because I had the credits anyway. Both pulls failed to get any of the new artifact shards. One pull gave me two The Doctor shards. That is zero out of five for the artifact shards and one of five for officer shards. Hardly 50% chance of earning those shards. As I said before, I am not going to be continuing these events. It's not worth the effort for such low odds and poor rewards overall.

[barren fossil]

Complaint here. V'ger is Sarris in a different system. I have tremors, so I have to click sometimes 3 times on 1 hostile to highlight it. This is my problem not yours but thought you should know why we don't like it. I only did the heroic the first day because I thought it was a one time thing. I finished the Emergence SMS today, but will not be doing any heroics. I'm curious who thought that running an event that failed under a different name would work.

[mental coyote]

Any borg event soon? Last mega cube was in nov 2025

[restive barn]

V’ger SLB - lumping G6 & G7 together just ticks off G6 players! I’m ops 62 doing 65 V’gers, awesome - except I’m competing with G7 players so I’d have to grind all day to even get close… and the rewards are junk.

[novel mango]

Please never run the Vger event again. But if you do and once again DONT it would be great if it didn’t happen during incursions!

[idle parcel]

Yep.

[noble aspen]

You promised transparency. If the Mega Cubes will return, please tell us when. If they are gone forever, please tell us why.

[crimson tree]

Dude I don't have tremors and I had issues on trying to click the right spot...You're right this is sarris with a new skin. Just pathetically lazy.

[cinder flame]

But Sarris Invasion had better rewards

[sharp thistle]

You made one HUGE mistake there.

Scopely don't think.

[deep mulch]

Not doing this event. The event store is too expensive. The rewards are very poor. Started out ok killing level 58. Then moved to 61 using my 14 b relativity and failed. Turns out they are too hard for any ship to take out. With a heavy heart pulled out of this event knowing i wont make it. This event is very familiar.

[vale plume]

That stupid V‘Ger-Event blocks all Systems with epic Aggregation-Loot 😡. Boring enough to collect that, but now I am out of it - and cannot even collect new 😡😡😡

[odd dock]

transparency for scopely means whatever they see passes right through them ... its their interpretation of the word. like when they say they are listening ... sure they are, but they arent going to do anything about what they hear ... they never said that.

this is how you deceive without breaking your word

[shy spindle]

Are you kidding me?.

20K? As a reward that someone did everything?.

[sharp thistle]

The flash pass ones are always terrible. But at least the rods are semi decent

[late orchid]

Why take over almost all of the high level aggregation systems. (6 out of 7) How are people supposed to farm for those now?

[half flare]

No new material spend event today? The one we have is awful, so I figured you’d let us double dip.

[sullen willow]

Superb new bug! In incursions. No longer have the purple person icon to see my alliance members bases! Genius

[mental matrix]

If you want people to uninstall the game, then keep doing what you're doing!

Incursion is just as bad as the whole of February

[jaunty ingot]

Worse V'ger event store pull yet..... Its not like its not already hard work, more so during an incursion. Fix the rewards if your going to do hard events.

[dapper marten]

anyone else not liking the whole incursion thing, there's loads of events to get hostiles and mine, but if lower lvl plaeyrs send their ships out they're toast because of the incursion - incursion should just be for pple who want to play it, you can't try to run incursions and events at the same time

[proven sparrow]

well guess its time to just shield and turn the game off. why run incursions when you cant have a stable game on a normal day

[sand lintel]

it was pretty much the same in US 2 days ago (splitting up incursions to seperate days for the seperate regions didnt help)

[obsidian olive]

great game performance only 10 seconds after a hit bravo 👏

and not more then 10 crashes sithin an hour 💪

[marble parrot]

that FACTION Bs 🍆🍆☠️🍆☠️🍆☠️🍆☠️🍆☠️ again.

I dont need or want to Join each faction hunt.

Im 53. I know what i need to do each day, thanks.

Another reason why im not buying anything this month.

i guess no one could have foreseen this after the great performance of last weeks...

[noble aspen]

As usual, none of my business.

[quaint parrot]

Feedback for the previous month and the next one (March will be the same as February): thank you Scopely to give me the choice to play or not, playing how I want and not how game says....Jumanji.

[fluid gust]

texas class grind for an event during incursions?
why?

the one grind that leaves you fully exposed to pvp.

[opaque hawk]

I believe that's an alliance task to kill solo armadas. New ones that are being added next week

[hollow flare]

no that's the solo one, the alliance in is below it in purple

I'm hoping it's 50 points per kill for the new armadas and scopely haven't lost the plot

[wet grove]

„Hey, we just released a botched and completely imbalanced daily hostile mechanic. Let‘s not fix this and just release a new weekly task mechanic“

[opaque hawk]

Wow yeah was just going off the single picture with ought seeing the others. Hope you are right on points

[tacit zephyr]

It would be so easy to set up empty servers just for Raids, and put everyone who wants to do PvP there. Of course, you'd need to offer decent rewards, not the ridiculous ones you've been giving out.

[idle parcel]

Just saw the review for the new Maverick faction, and it sounds like a lot more work in this already FT job called STFC. 😡

[rustic bison]

Oh good so in addition to the couple hundred vger hostile today we also have faction hunt…. I’m so tired of just stacking hostile events on top of more hostile events….can we just reduce old crap please? Good lord

[tacit zephyr]

Scopely, we don't have enough time for so many assignments. Scopely replies, "Oh, you're saying there's not enough homework? Well, I'll give you more homework, so you don't get bored."🙈

[errant wind]

Just keep on tapping on the screen , how many kills

[marble parrot]

..problaby 100 points per kill.

Lvl70.

😅😅

Lvl 55+ . 1 point

[tacit raven]

I actually don't mind faction hunt I do all three just for the credits it's not that hard to get through them and be done.
However what I do have a problem with is turning level 40 and finding completely unrealistic tasks for events like destroying silent enemies that way overpower people until they're way past my level when I flew in there didn't see anyone close to my level doing this event.
I'm a hardcore grinder, play beyond what most people do everyday but things need to be realistic, when you give us stuff that can't actually be done for our level that makes us want to stop playing. However I'm not too upset about it because in quarks special store the only thing really worth getting are subspace relays which I have gotten from Battle passes this event and incursion.

[noble aspen]

No Battle Pass, no Faction Hunt, no inclusion in any arc events. Remember when events used to scale all the way down so low ops could participate? It was all taken away with no announcement or explanation.

[river field]

I’ve done four chest pulls of the vger event with the new artifact. Guess how many shards I’ve gotten? ZERO. Not good sentiment scopes.

[kind stirrup]

explain how I can smash 40-50 bil reds by the dozen with s speed crew but cannot kill a single V'GER Orion at 2o bil????? THESE REDS SUUUUCK.

[agile latch]

Power doesn't matter since years.

[kind stirrup]

wwait, what?

power is all we have to go on unless you want us plling our calculators but....

If a speed crew with low miti can cruise through 30+ bil reds it makes ZERO sense to require an exploitative cheese crew for a 20 bil red!!!! PLEASE FIX THIS TRASH WE HATE IT

[wide nacelle]

do the hostiles have the same abilitys?

Crazy how people just want the same boring hostiles over and over.

the Vger add some strategy to the game

[agile latch]

Wait… they have abilities too? I assumed the power number was their entire personality. 🤪

[sinful heart]

Mobile game, you play on the toilet. If I wanted strategy, I sure as heck wouldn’t be looking here. 🤨

[wide nacelle]

i would say brainpower. but then people will get annoyed

[sinful heart]

That’s reading comprehension, which to be fair, Scoply makes pointless with every update 🙄

[agile latch]

I had no problems at all with the content in February. The stability and bugs were outstanding this month. One of the worst month.

[fresh sierra]

I want to see an opt-out choice for infinite incursions. I have zero interest in any pvp yet I’m force to endure 24hrs of interruptions to my gameplay each month.

[wet grove]

I see the VGER stuff like this.
It would be strategy, if everyone:

• Had the same access to ship power
• Had the same access to officers
• Had the same access to research
• Had the same access to artifacts
• Had the same access to forbidden tech
• Had the same access to fleet commanders
• Had the same access to specialty ships
• We didnt have rampant power creep
• Scopely had any realistic idea on how to make achievable and tested hostile power / point requirements for a certain ops level

See the common denominator?
That‘s purely sales strategy, not game strategy.

Had they brought something like this back in simple times when everyone had lvl34 epic ships and the same officers - maybe it would have been interesting.
Today it‘s just a chore on top of a mount of other chores and the investment not worth the results for now.
My opinion, thus, hard pass for me.

If someone enjoys the mechanic, by all means, go for it.
People need to stop thinking they need to do everything just because Scopely adds more content.
Everyone should just pick and do whats fun to them, and blithely ignore the rest

[surreal warren]

totally agree on your statement 👍

new stuff broken, too grindy or simply bad time/return investment? => ignore it

scopely tries to force players to do stuff how they planned it? => boycott it

game is lagging to death and game braking bugs are not getting fixed? => dont give them money anymore

The only power a customer has in this situation: to make a choice here and speak with his wallet.

[fading crag]

Here's my feedback about the V'ger events, I hated it so much and saw what how bad the rewards were that I only did the V'ger Species Emergence SMS the first day.
I'm not wasting my time killing Species 8472 all day every day for a week for such pittance rewards.

[ocean crypt]

it's well seeing scopely don't care, for years faction hunt was just kill, so all brains pre-programmed to just kill, and now it's join first, they seem to forget how brains work, peeps that used to just kill, no need to join, makes it not easy to re-programme brains that quick, put it back to the way brains are already pre-programmed to act, just kill, not join

[worn galleon]

<@&509690795536941056> I will say this. Instead of harping on how hard the Vger tasks were, I hope Scopely will learn not to roll out events like this during an incursion week. I had to make a choice on which to do and I will not be getting rewards because I chose to participate in the incursions instead of devote an hour to trying to dodge 71s murdering me in event space. It's poor planning and even poorer execution. They need to do incursions during the down weeks between new arcs, not in the middle. Also, I'd voice my distain for mid week incurions due to work as well. their excuse of needed to do them mid week so the engineers/coders are on falls flat considering they didn't fix the disappearing incursion button for the APAIC one three days later.

[mortal tartan]

Yep. 3/4 of my alliance didn't even bother, it's that bad, and the rewards are that terrible compared to the effort required

[mortal tartan]

And whichever genius scheduled a surge event on the same day as the APAC incursions needs a smack upside the head

[boreal coyote]

<@&509690795536941056> a few things on new v’ger stuff. One, the alliance milestone in redonk for 3, yes 3 jacked pulls. I’d be very interested to see your completion metrics on this. I bet it’s abysmal. Sure maybe you consider it as an ‘extra’… but that leads to point 2. This store “v’ger cordiality exchange” isn’t great. Considering so many people are having issues completing the dailies. You really aren’t giving them any incentive with the rewards to even try. The double pull ( sorry I can’t check chest contents / bad design ) is way over priced for a pittance of rewards. I’m glad the amenity has no cool down, but a chance of only getting 500 officer depot tokens? No thanks. Maybe one day we will get back to a store that doesn’t feel punitive, maybe even borders on rewarding. You can’t simultaneously make people ops up and crank on the difficulty unless,,,,, you want people to pay to play and or you want less general engagement. You have had plenty of time since October to make the game better. Do you all really think it’s working? I will give you, some things feel better, generally. Stop drinking the cool aid for a second, speak up for the players. I will continue to play because of my alliance, but I have stopped buying battlepass and will continue to be F2P until there is significant, player friendly changes made. Maybe since I’m not a whale my vote or my 20-50 a month doesn’t count. It feels like you are intent on having very few servers of high paying players and want to rid yourself of the dolphins and krill. Your tactics might convert a very low percentage of people to whales, but it’s driving away thousands of low spenders. I’m not even going to talk about bugs or lag. I’m not going to talk about every new refinery ads tons of time to your daily clicks…. Please do better. I want to enjoy the game again.

[lilac ocean]

Is ure return button broke? wall of text

[boreal coyote]

Yes 😂

[surreal warren]

return key = 99$ extra per month fee

[umbral ether]

ok, how messed up is this, that it looks like not a single alliance on our server is going to finish the "Echoes of V'ger Meta - AMS event", the closest is at 17,100 points out of the 24k to finish - oh yeah, and you get 0, that's right 0, rewards for the alliance if you don't finish it - seriously scopely, this is a fail by all standards...

[umbral ether]

and I really "love" how I'm getting this loot from the v'ger species hostiles (dauntless going low level for one of the events)

[dusky mortar]

no alliance on my server completed it

[fierce steeple]

Broken record feedback incoming....
Incursions desperately needs an overhaul of how the scoring works.
With players more frustrated that ever, our server has now lost 2 incursions in a row, not to take away from our opponents they won fair and square, but they were both assisted by an alliance and group of players permitting themselves to be raided, and also opening Friendly bases and then calling it out. Yes I know that the oppoenents could have just as easily found and opened those bases too but its not fair that our players put in load of effort to be massively impeded by player that enjoy chaos or are acting out peite squabbles with other people.

[placid fossil]

No alliance on 401 is going to either. I don't think the scoring on it is the problem, it's running a grind-heavy meta-event at the same time as incursions, when most players are going to struggle to complete the event even if they have the will to do so

[pulsar hearth]

no alliance on 700 completed the Vger AMS. my alliance got closest (19900/24000) and we were nearly double the score of the next closest. goal was ridiculous. Flashpoint-level bad

[boreal coyote]

Minning rates have changed, it's been lowered. I use to get 70 million am hour on dvor fresh with whip, now I'm getting 62 million. No change in crew. Something changed. Several other people in alliance confirming same issue

[surreal warren]

also no alliance on our server, highest got 16k/24k

[ivory cape]

How y'all over at scopely feeling about this event that not a single alliance on multiple servers was able to complete? Proud of yourselves?

[bronze jackal]

Finally this stupid Vger event has ended, Sarris and Flashpoint events were a lot better.

[surreal warren]

i asked other players on our server - especially the top 10 guys.

no one wants to do that amount of grinding for such little in return:
time invest/reward ratio is just not there

incursion only had a minor impact, because most lost interrest even before it started.

[bitter basalt]

<@&509690795536941056> @queen kindle@molten marlin all that grinding for an Artifacts that can't even be upgraded by using Temporal Remnants, low, very low.

no wonder i went completely F2P since last August

[pearl geyser]

I echo most of the comments above. You have been talking and saying and talking and saying since October (really August) and it is time to start LISTENING and DOING. This VGER event was an absolute debacle and we hear crickets. Not one of our alliances finished the AMS. That in itself should be the measuring stick, but further to that, 10% of my alliance even tried.
Stop talking and saying and start showing you are listening.

[alpine niche]

Beating up on Xindi Aquatics & Reptiliams in Kertoria. Receiving only General Hostile points, not Xindi points for this Event.

[molten marlin]

40+ systems

[surreal warren]

feedback: too hard to kill for me and xindi reptilian ships at level 40 kill my best ship very fast, i only do 20% hull damae before my ship pops

so i only kill regular NPC 37-39 and get 144points for each kill = over 100 regular NPCs to kill to complete SMS

[grand fulcrum]

<@&509690795536941056> @wanton copper not a single alliance on my server finish this AMS need to make it easier and/or multi tiered

[copper shadow]

oh thats the same on many servers I can assure you of thst I'd actually be surprised is we had more than 10 servers in entire game make that quota and tbh 10 is prolly aiming way too high

[placid fossil]

Yeah, that’s fair. My alliance is one of the most active on the server, and we got the closest of any alliance I’ve seen mentioned (only missed by 9), but not even half the alliance completed the SMS on a single day. It’s just like Sarris. For a lot of people the grind wasn’t worth the reward, so they never bothered.

[wintry ember]

Server 8 was also a no alliance finished the AMS. Great job scopley! 🤡

[warm magnet]

My issue is I completed every single one of the quarks challenges so how am I 100 points short. Something tells me that its not recording/updating properly upon the completion of daily events (I just had this happen today with a different event not updating to reflect me using 1000+ FT Protomaters)

[loud fossil]

Only one alliance on 188 managed to complete the AMS event. The next nearest was 18.6k points. Goes to show how poorly received the whole event was, especially since the event rewards weren't worth the time spend doing the events.

[slate coral]

Could you have missed an exocomp or territory boost that affected you before? Try using an alliance mining exocomp boost and see if that puts the numbers back where u think they should be.

[winter wasp]

No exo, minning speed for concentrated lat has been the same for past year +, 70,000,000 ish per hour. My dvor fresh and whip have been mexed for over a year. If anything it should have gone up with crew lv going up

Never use exo for minning latinum, no point

[slate coral]

Have you swapped fleet commanders?

[winter wasp]

No, nothing is different. Other than updates to the game. Have multiple people in allaince and in galaxy chat mentioning same issue today. This isn't one person. This is dozens of people reporting exact same thing

[slate coral]

Is it only the feesha or are other ships affected?

[winter wasp]

Only noticed on fresh because minning rate is so high to begin with. Don't know what my minning rates were for g6 and transogen

[slate coral]

The only other optional boost i can think of would be chaos tech, which you would have probably noticed if you removed something...

Feesha is overdue for a nerf, its had at least two boosts that were supposed to be added but were multiplied instead.

Current mining rates for it are astronomically higher than they originally intended

[ocean crypt]

explain you excelsior covering vger hostile scam, excelsior has no chance of reaching lv 69s nor can it kill lv 69 fighters, but at lvs higher than the excelsior is needed to kill fighters, it is not covering the vger hostiles, so , as not stated anywhere as to what, other than research, how does the excelsior fighters cover vger hostiles for dailies, we would all like to know what scam you have running on us now, at moment will need ops 70 and an excelsior perhaps around t10 just to reach warps that can reach 69s or higher, so again, what scam have you got running now with all your lies of the excelsior fighters covering vger hostile dailies, we all want to know

[molten marlin]

V'ger fighter summon daily is based on the tier of the ship, it was never said or intended to work on the other v'gers.

[ocean crypt]

yes it does, it is stated that with the research, excelsior killing summoned fighters will cover vger dailies, but a t5 needing only 59s, but trying on 62s, as easily done, with initial research done, 2nd research can't be done until a tier 10 excelsior is not covering vger dailies, so , again , getting scammed by scopely, it states it in the actual research box, so peeps should read these things before commenting, since post is going out to scopely

[molten marlin]

You're referring to the sweep research, which requires you to hit your ops level, it is meant for higher tiered ships. Not a scam

It's the same as the freebooter sweep research that required you to hit your ops level to cover the other dailies.

[pastel swan]

#FreeCotA anyone?

[nimble solstice]

If stfc was a TV show, you just killed the main character for no reason <@&509690795536941056>

[torn plinth]

#FreeCotA!

Or at least, give us an announcement way before you change something and tell us what we need to save for future events.
I hate that you just leave your players hanging like that...

[gloomy current]

#FreeCotA

[cursive kite]

If they keep going this way, there won't be many players left so....

[outer brook]

According to this discord the game died 20 times last year alone.

I know this time it's for real. For sure.

[cursive kite]

Glad someone thinks this is funny

[agile latch]

What do you mean Chronicle of the Ascendant will no linger be running?????

[cursive kite]

They killed it

They kill everything Good

[agile latch]

The only one proper event series in the game 😅

[cursive kite]

Of course, then dbags wanna get on here and make stupid jokes

[agile latch]

Honestly by this time the patch notes should contain a part where they list" Quality of Life Downgrades"

[cursive kite]

That would be the majority of every update

[oak crescent]

if this is an indication that we're returning to the classic officer recruit event and can avoid CotA if we choose, I am all for it

[agile latch]

Original was: New Officer Unlock Heroic sms and slb during ALL WEEKENDS of the arc.

Huge difference.

[terse harbor]

They kill everything where an F2P player has a chance of getting something useful. They are ONLY interested in players with $$$$$s to waste.

[stoic linden]

Same with the bonus treasury, gone. The only treasury that paid out half decent RSS for pure FTP players

[cursive kite]

Will be spending a lot less now. Maybe not at all

[gloomy current]

Yet again, Scopely scoring own goals - whoever makes these decisions that will so obviously upset the playerbase, at a time when confidence is already low, is a complete dullard.

[woven fog]

im also 100 points short

[marble cosmos]

FREE COTA!

[rich path]

If sub-51 gets Faction Hunt as an arc again, I swear to gawd 😫. We heard you wanted more content for high Ops, but the sub-51 player base is officially being dumped - by ghosting. At least send a 'it’s not you, it’s your Ops' text first.

[ocean crypt]

by time the excelsior gets up to anywhere near current ops size, i will have no doubt moved up again, so each time the excelsior will be more useless than before, ought to stop scamming the people with these new ships, and give actual data status on which lv the ships need to be to do what, because the dauntless is still useless at t7 as well, by time it can hit anywhere near high 60s , again ops should be even higher, so even more useless ships , should not have wasted £99 each on the ships and just waited for the free prints, would have saved money as well as the feeling of being completely scammed by scopely, stop supporting their lies, we want truths only , no scams no more lies, no more theft,,,,,, paramount ought to take away the copyright of this game from scopely and forbid them from ever running any game in their name

[copper shadow]

don't worry cota is just going under the knife to transition into a new name with pronouns and other modifications to be trendy and hip with the modern age roflmao

[gloomy current]

FYI, everyong including 51+ get faction hunt & it's typically ran for 3 days before an arc start when no-other events are running.

As someone in G6, that's the only event (besides rules of acquisition), that we had yesterday too.

[rich path]

I wish I could say I am diminishing the sub-51 offerings for effect. The patch notes do that better. Notice the one paragraph at the bottom, after 24 pages of exciting new additions, the paragraph is everyone else 🙈 https://startrekfleetcommand.com/news/patch-notes-update-88-tng-first-contact/

[gritty haven]

Why is the xindi event not scoring properly? It's not giving 500 points for a xindi aquatic

[molten marlin]

are you actually killing 40+ xindi?

[full marsh]

#FREE COTA

[karmic sky]

Why would they think cancelling COTA is good idea when people have said that quite a few have said its the one event left they look forward to? Lol.

[tacit tangle]

I been saving currency for 3 weeks to compete on cota and they cancel it and now only doing spend event the first weekn of the month, how is that better?

[sacred scarab]

I think I'm done. CotA was pretty much the only thing I looked forward to anymore, rest of the game is dull as hell

[white edge]

Thank you for removing my favorite event scopley

[high aurora]

<@&509690795536941056> Someone neglected to load the First Contact Missions into the Holodeck

[molten marlin]

event reset

[copper shadow]

the thing is arsenic for months if not years we've been having multiple event reset times. if you're like me and in cst that means at 11am arc goes live with all events and content. then at 12pm noon we have daily resets then at midnight its daily milestones resets. So I think people are trying to figure out now that its almost daylight saving times again are we going back to the noon timeframe for everything or staying with the 11am. If we're staying with 11am why isn't it out yet and everything live inquiring minds wish to know these things as scopley wants us to be on 24/7 with all the crazy milestones in events and lack of points for hostiles when killed for events

[slow ermine]

20 day SLB for 6 shards? what is this?

[blissful scarab]

find the error

[warped grove]

oh good, common reliant parts in the BP. how useful for someone who's already tiered it to 4. bah.

[hollow lichen]

LOL a week long alliance wide SPEND event for this new faction??? you guys have completely lost the plot

[delicate latch]

Wow, 3 days to build the U.S.S. Reliant, I need 28 more BPs, can only get 2 per day from the faction store, and could get 8 tomorrow if I'm able to complete both days' battle pass events, plus another 16 if I spend $100. (Oh look more in Khanquest Meta Part 1.)

[half flare]

Are these rewards “heroic” at ops 66? 😒

[winged niche]

World's worst developer when Augment ARC very low rating so why again do uss Reliant Events because he wants force too invest money hard too get Blue print very hard to defeat Augment hostile player already ignored Augment faction events now go with Stella play whole day for 17 million points one hostile defeat 2k points
Congratulations One month Holliday

[eternal arch]

Its like they cant help but mess with their best events... First they gut a section of it at the end of last year, then randomly remove it at the start of this year? With no communication at all about why either time.
It's been the main event that really helped me plan and feel rewarded for major progression in different areas of the game... so many of the other event just feels like randomly timed slop

[winged niche]

Rest in peace those not have enough uss Reliant blueprints 😂😂😂😂😂

[coral bane]

<@&509690795536941056>
Where can i find the 38+ missions for the event? I’m 39 and Maverick store need lvl55. Nothing in holodeck.
Mission names are The Task and Vengeance of Khan

[native basalt]

great job....

[pearl crag]

so much for scopelys commitment to all players not just high level players

[strong lagoon]

“We are taking hits”
What 12yo ESL wrote that (or was it Google Translate)?

[jaunty ingot]

New buttons to press again and no bulk faction store collect button added.

[neon bane]

This arc is ridiculous. You can't even get renowned until you're building is level 20

And then on top of that you get very little resources and credits from the one chest so I can't even upgrade the building to level two for most likely two or three days

This will be at least a month or more of effort before you can even get the level 20

[simple helm]

the alliance milestones not scaling really just screams for all bigs to merge into one alliance on younger servers and kill all conflict, what a dumb design, literally trying to kill any alliance diversity that was left, likely only 1 group on our server can even hit the lower milestones

[regal oxide]

Part 5 of the mission spawns outside playable area……wow.

Incompetence on a whole other lv this time!!

[delicate latch]

Still at 49 right now and takes me about 20 minutes to go through collecting the daily mission key, everything else in gifts, Alliance store, etc., the refineries, & faction stores. And that's on days without a recruitment event, artifacts, etc.

[high aurora]

Same…. <@&509690795536941056>

[fading veldt]

Where are the arc missions???

[high aurora]

Holodeck

[coral bane]

Nope

[fading veldt]

Nowhere to be found

[burnt granite]

<@&509690795536941056> Just trying to voice my disappointment. Apart from the social aspect, CotA was about the only thing in the game keeping my motivation up. I've had great fun trying to plan ahead to unlock the officers that way, and it is the only way I managed to unlock (not even promote, as I cannot score that well) them in the last few arcs. Why would this series of events be removed from the calendar? Have they received negative feedback from the players? Aren't there enough spending players trying to actually compete on them to make the dollars go up? What does your data say? What was the process behind this, in my opinion, awful decision?

[molten marlin]

are you ops 55 or higher?

[fading veldt]

No ops 54

[warm wren]

Cannot find the altered Parameters missions in Holodeck

[eternal arch]

My 1st was in gifts (also its an ops 55+ arc)

[novel mango]

Then why does event show ops 42?

[novel mango]

I must just need to type in discord it just showed up. 🤣

[fervent meteor]

1 st mission is a gift and the 2nd will be claimed in the new faction.

[fading veldt]

If I go to ops 45 will I get missions

[limber lion]

@warm wren same here

Cannot find the altered Parameters missions in Holodeck

I am lever 41

[warm wren]

new faction is lvl 55+. I am just 48

[fervent meteor]

Yep....$cpely strikes...again !

[coral bane]

Didnt have such a gift. And new faction store required lvl55

[rocky kraken]

Parameters mission missing searched every where

[oak crescent]

unless I'm missing something, there is absolutely no way to earn enough rep (save buying multiple packs) to actually claim this mission in the next 20 days

[vale plume]

And again powers completely off 😡😡😡. 69-Armadas do not even scratch me, 72s are way too strong - and nothing in between available 😡

[burnt granite]

See the apex barrier on those 72 armadas.

[vale plume]

Where is that research?

[blissful zealot]

Feedback: The new 55 event systems are warp 320
I don’t have a G5 ship or realistic way to max a G4
Event armadas ask for 1x Explorer, 1x Battleship, 1x interceptor
So 3 different ships

Just like the last event, this event is not possible.

[burnt granite]

In the new Maverick tree.

[vale plume]

Thanks.

[civic oak]

This scoring feels off.

Upgrading a Botany bay from tier 7 to 9 doesnt even complete this

[slow ermine]

I took a fresh stella to max and it doesn't max out the reward tier either

[idle parcel]

Absolutely brilliant to introduce maverick tasks, but you can't use them until your building hits lvl 20. Huge fail.

[obtuse shuttle]

This conquerer thing sucks cause solo alliance players cannot do them.

[white edge]

Free Cota I need my ferengi tokens

[maiden ridge]

Just to be clearz the only way i can score is to level up Stella. I scrapped it and leveled it from 0 to max and only got enuf points to make it half way!?

[small rover]

Heroics be heavy with grinds 🙃

[copper shadow]

guess they want ya to lv 2 Stella's from 0 to max ain't it awesome

[sacred scarab]

so was it intentional that fkr ships continue to benefit from the old borg solo research that increases their damage by 35000% but things like the cube and relativity are screwed?

[marble parrot]

Not sure abouth scopelss maths but lvl 58 borg solo went with 2% hull damage.

Go one lvl up and SQUASHED. All 3 dead.

😆😆😆

Rubish

[sacred scarab]

or did y'all just forget about that?

[sacred scarab]

pretty common, they're absolutely horrible at scaling

[simple helm]

FREEEEEEEEEE COTA, or at least provide a reason why it was removed

[marble parrot]

Yeah. Cant believe i kill a 2.4t armada with easy in 20 rounds...

Then add just 1 t extra on the next lvl and poof.

Deado

[white edge]

Too many free primes 💸

[sacred scarab]

my guess would be that the consistency let people plan and avoid doing upgrades at other times of the month, and know when an event would be happening, and they REALLY love their fear of missing out making you log in to check every day

[shadow trellis]

Strange you have more power

[civic sphinx]

You guys really believe we can upgrade that much g7 stuff? We are happy to find the steel to upgrade something, let alone finish this event

[marble parrot]

🕵️‍♂️ 😆 😆 🕵️‍♂️ strange indeed

[paper crest]

Scopely seem to have forgotten there are players who aren't lvl50 plus. Another event that is just reheated leftovers. Getting incredibly bored now . Come here to complain and find out the best thing they have done in the last while (COTA) is going. They really need to think hard about this game and if they want it to be viable

[sacred goblet]

u can always pay XD

[marble parrot]

That high lvl relativity is making up the rest i see. 💪💪

[shadow trellis]

That’s the only thing I can think of too

[civic sphinx]

Even paying wont help much lol. Need for some buildings like 2 or 3 packs with max steel in it 😂

[low radish]

How should I complete this mission, scopely???

[low radish]

I mean, what am I supposed to do here?

[tardy berry]

Congratulation Scopley you have for the second month in a row
released a worthless Arc. for that you have earned the LAME DUCK award

[jaunty nacelle]

I’m in the same boat

[low radish]

Jeez man. If they were capable of feeling shame, this would be so embarrassing.

[jaunty nacelle]

<@&509690795536941056> how are we supposed to finish these missions when your developers can’t even code it correctly ?

[ashen notch]

Because it was awful. Scoring metrics were awful, and for some events to scoring options were far too limited.

[tardy berry]

the one new Borg Conqueror Borg Solo Armada i attempted said i fail but yet my ships were fine so its on you scopley not us

[molten marlin]

It's just how the mechanic is. You need one of each ship to beat it.

[tardy berry]

i had a interceptor, Explorer, and BS and it still didnt work

[ashen notch]

I know someone else who had a similar issue. There may be a bug (surprise, surprise) causing them not to fire.

[copper shadow]

the problem wasn't you going up in levels it was relying on acopley to do basic math which we've proven time and time again over 7yrs they can't do it

[covert narwhal]

How can we spend all our VGer Cordiality with the time cooldowns? I still have 60m to spend but am on cooldown until after the store closes!

[ocean crypt]

and just what is blocked in this message, you can't take the critisism, how pharsical is that, theres is not one single bad word in this message

[molten marlin]

Except there was, you can try posting it again without the insult

[simple quartz]

I am sad about the loss of CotA. I am annoyed we were not given more warning about its demise.

[lime solar]

The <55 coupon code is very disappointing. FC dust... Really? Yes, for those who don't have FC Khan it helps, but many of us in this coupon code range do have FC Khan. Well, back to playing my own way. Scopely sure isn't giving me motivation to ops up.

[tacit raven]

So I've been trying to get this reliant for a while and even if I pay for the battle pass you only get 80 blueprints that's not even half for 20 days of grinding in a battle pass I'll pass I am however thankful that the old arks are coming back around for new players who weren't able to get all this stuff before but it's not enough to make me want to pay for it.

And subspace relays were supposed to be rare they seem to be in everything now it was just the incursion store or buying them would get them and now they're in every battle pass they were in Qurk's special store every time I turn around there's more subspace relays I like that they were special people had to work for them now they're just giving away.

[gloomy current]

Skill issue? Be sure to use buffs like max fortify/cerritos & defiant - they help alot.

[misty bluff]

requirements for alliances are out of reach.

[worldly tiger]

So this whole newe thing is jsut to punish peopel for being in an alliance with peopel who are under 55?

[faint lodge]

There was this Alliance event today to basically grind Aggregate hostiles. Did it disappear?

[worldly tiger]

they were originally showing in events as well as the maverick faction store, but they did another client update and now it only shows in the maverick store/tasks tab

[faint lodge]

OK thanks. I was wondering because I had already grinded over like 2000 kills...haha. Would suck if I lose all that grind for my alliance

[oak lodge]

What happened to the Aggregation killing event?

[faint lodge]

If you go to the Maverick Faction store and click the Tasks tab at the top, you can see the progression there

It's the last one listed.

[oak lodge]

Ahhh ok -- It was also on the main Events tab earlier -- thanks.

[worldly tiger]

well they jostle around as you get poitns in them in random ways that i can't make any sense of

[faint lodge]

Yeah, I came in here to ask about that too. @worldly tiger set me straight.

OK ....back to the grind!

[worldly tiger]

I just don't understand how these tasks were actually supposed to make any sense. If your alliance can only get to 56s, we have to kill 5271 Aggregation Hostiles per DAY as a group EVERY WEEK? What in the Fire Caves is this supposed to be if not a way to pressure everyone in g5+ to form 55+ only alliances?

If you're trying to push everyone to either drop a thousand a month on this game or get out you're going to find the ones who do spend that much aren't going to stick around either when its only them

[half flare]

This doesn’t make sense as an SLB

[blissful sonnet]

why Scopely would kill CotA, an event that seemingly most people liked and looked foward to--especially when people complain about virtually EVERYTHING else--is absolutely mind-boggling to me. it was so nice to have some sense of structure and planning in that regard... I just don't get it, and am honestly bummed about it

[cinder flame]

Ive just wasted 30 mins trying to figure out where these alliance tasks are, some people have them in events some have them in the new faction store! Now I learn that an updated removed them from events and they are supposed to be in the faction store, but why hide tasks in the faction store? Why not do a new TAB in events? This is confusing for no reason and hard to explain to others.

[worldly tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/the-square-hole-square-hole-shapes-piklas-gif-24625312

[cinder flame]

I think its because they don't want us being able to plan or prepare for anything, especially for events that their intent is for us to spend money on.

[daring dagger]

is there a fix or workaround for fallout mission 5 spawning outside the system boundary where it is unreachable?

[summer torrent]

so then wont people just sit on all there stuff and wait and see what comes up. i liked the cota for tiering my soecialty ships. now not sure what to do

[granite nymph]

Do any of you devs actually play the game. I built a new Stella and leveled it to tier 9 and this is all the points I got. I would have to do the same 1.5 times to finish this. Come on. Know the game for gods sake please

[warped grove]

<@&509690795536941056> Disappointing that only the 40+ mid-Ops get access to the WoK missions via Holodeck during this Augment themed event.

[agile latch]

Stella is meant to be scrapped and rebuilt again. Over and over again. That is a heroic event. It needs scrapping and rebuild.

"Know the game for gods sake please"

[late orchid]

Did scopley mess with orions? Used to be able to kill 14 on one hull. Now only 6... really?

[granite nymph]

Yes I know. It is the expectation that a person scraps a Stella twice to finish which his more than ‘heroic’ it is ridiculous especially considering the rewards are sub par.

[agile latch]

No. Usually a heroic is unfinishable unless you pay. This can be finished with proper stock up. But you are right in that rewards are bad.

[final oriole]

did MM conqueror Borg SMS and Heroic change milestones I could have sworn this am it was 4 for the sms and 6 for the Heroic.. nows it shows 2 and 4...

[fiery depot]

Please return COTA, it is very frustrating for the average player when you change month-long trends and eliminate major sources of Ferengi credits without a new source

[marble parrot]

😳 i want to join the event and play the game but i need a key...

But i cant get a key as i need the building upgraded..

So i cant play the game..

What bellend design that??

🤭

[obsidian ether]

Heroic Stella upgrade is badly done. Upgrades consume Uncommon/Rare uranium in high amount, which makes progressing the event with those upgrades easy, but once you have only Epic uranium and only epic upgrades, the scoring is very bad, epic uranium only give slightly more points, but upgrades consume very little amount. Also in rogue store you get way less epic uranium. I've done half of the tier epic upgrades on my Stella and didn't progress even one tier of the event.

[somber hinge]

Undo the reduction of tiles/line in all faction stores. having just 3 is a useless increase of scrolling time!!!
Why are you talking permantly of QoL, but implementing the opposite?? its just maniac...

[hollow lichen]

just let us hide the useless graphic on the side and max out the rows. It's been just 2 (TWO) wide on tablet interface for ages which is mental. Far larger screen than phones but you're scrolling like a lunatic just to get to the bottom of a list.

[scarlet vessel]

And give us a bulk refine option for the faction store stuff please. Has anyone actually timed how long it takes to collect every little thing? 20 plus minutes sound right?

[marble parrot]

Yeah. I noticed that last night . I thought my screen was off or something..

Another quality of life downgrade.

👍🏼👍🏼

[buoyant badge]

Has anyone found the augments exodus mission? Not in holodeck but required for the mission tasks (lvl 44).

[molten marlin]

is your game up todate, and have you cleared localization

[buoyant badge]

Yeah, only got the task and vengeance of khan missions. Did the altered parameters one.

[molten marlin]

did you check the outlaw tab

under the holodeck

[buoyant badge]

There is a mission called exodus there! I presume that’s it? Why not put it under the WOK tab!!!

[molten marlin]

that is the one

and i don't know

[blissful scarab]

only 24h to do the whole chain is way too much to ask

[late siren]

The so called fix to the duplicate Maverick tasks is no fix at all it is a downgrade. Before you tried to fix it we could see in Alliance tasks who was contributing to it, now we can’t. This is key information. Also, there is no way of seeing that your scores are counting. It doesn’t come up a banner notification and the progress info on the Task tab is useless. Every player should be able to see their contribution to an Alliance Task

[wise shore]

I just rushed it in bit more than half and hour with 5 ships, skipping all the lore exactly because of what you mentioned.

So any lore keeper out there, what's the TL;DR version?

[old veldt]

Okay so who was it that came up with the idea to throw an Ea-Nasir joke in the new mission? 🤣💀

[junior pond]

This exchange rate is frankly insulting. Even at the lowest tier, it takes 15x this amount to put on even a single part on the Reliant. There is no way that's an equivilent reward for what would be a blueprint awarding token.

[errant jetty]

Please find another job for those Core Math developers. This is after scrapping and Re-tiering a Stella. One would think that by doing so, this quota would be easily met!

[coarse canopy]

So Scopely 'adjusted' the new armadas. In other words, Scopley felt the need to peeve off the player base, yet again. Talk about being screwed without getting dinner first.

[chilly heron]

Cool, cool. I like the new user experience from day 1 thingie. Now I can't even kill the lowest armadas anymore. Definetly feels more rewarding <@&509690795536941056>
Also, where are said directives?

[chilly heron]

in other words: Stop putting stuff all over the place. There is an event window for reasons. Don't put stuff into missions, challenge tracks, faction stores, or what have you.

[obsidian ether]

I gained one tier by spending rare uranium, once I upgraded Stella and spent only epic uranium I didn't get even 1 tier. Nobody considered there is different amounts of epic uranium that you use for upgrades.

[gritty gale]

outside of them not being in their own bucket, I preferred when I could see the Maverick tasks in the normal events area. Now I have to check multiple places for progress on events

[stark warren]

It’s really disappointing that CotA has been suddenly removed. This was the best event that Scopely had running and now it’s gone. There isn’t much else I look forward to in this game. I’m trying to remain optimistic that whatever will replace it will be ok, but the track record would not support that sentiment.

[chilly heron]

When it comes to events: Make Mega Cube a weekly. I still need those rewards, for reasons. 😄

[gusty patrol]

Anyone getting Bug GS31 ship beam.
Seems in waves delays me and other player ships. Also kicks form the game.

[vague spear]

Adjustments eh? Yesterday, I killed a level 55 Common Conqueror Borg Solo Armada without too much difficulty. After your “adjustments”, the same ships with the same crews above and below decks can’t kill one. I’m the top ops 57 player on my server. I don’t understand the goal here. You want more participation yet you make it impossible to participate?

[chilly heron]

You missed this point: It means, scopely gets rewarded by more sells in store. 😉

[scarlet vessel]

Same here. Wasn't broke. Didn't need a fix and now cant do this whole chain of events

[lost depot]

I'm disheartened by this arc more than anything else that players endured in recent years. For some of us, after almost all friends left the game, having to spend time to tribbleshoot on similar issues month after month, year after year, alliance mates/friends we got is the main motivation to log in.

[lost depot]

Just want to add, our alliance is of 23 members but we aren't just sitting doing nothing. Most of us are active daily, we score well for our size, last alb poppinf vger we scored no.3 . For this arc, we don't even have enough directives to clear milestones due to size.

[steel burrow]

It is amazing how quickly and efficiently you can make adjustments to increase difficulty and act like we should thank you for your response. Meanwhile adjustments to decrease difficulty take days of “escalation” and some sort of update.

[restive rose]

How can you advertise a new update for Ops 55 players and then come up with something that even good level 60 players can't manage? I'm really annoyed and don't feel like playing this game anymore.

[marble parrot]

Yep. Cannot be ask to even log in.

Dailies get done and its switch off till 5pm

[daring moat]

The exciting update feels like a big finger from Scopley. After all the brutal events these past several arcs, we finally got one that was somewhat appropriate. But Psych

[white edge]

As an ops 56 I could kill the 55 armadas yesterday now I can’t, first you took Cota away and now this. I’m on a newer server so my alliance won’t finish these milestones, I physically can’t interact with this loop

[cinder flame]

@near saddle this update removed the ALB and our visibility for members and leaders to see who is contributing to the Maverick Aggregation event. How can we encouage and congratulate or even hold people accountable if we cant see the contributions of our members in these events? Please put Alliance events back under Events so we better track our progress and the efforts of our members. #⭐-official-announcements message

[restive rose]

What a load of crap. Last night, I specifically pushed from ops53 (I was the strongest player on our server on ops 53) to ops 55 to play the new content, because yesterday that was still possible as a weak lv 55 player, and today even lv 60 players can't manage the new 55 armadas? WTF, Scopley?

[slender comet]

Are there any plans to replace COTA with something similar?

[molten marlin]

haven't heard anything

[steel burrow]

Discontinuing COTA is a huge disappointment.

[fervent panther]

Scopely is a huge disappointment.

[copper nimbus]

How can an Admiral see who from his alliance is participating in the new tasks and motivate the team to do it?

[molten marlin]

they can't atm

[copper nimbus]

Is this being worked on? It seems a big issue if this is to work.

[winged niche]

If you have not uss Reliant too hard complete task

[past cobalt]

What ever you done ruined the game again sane ships diff results again messing

But people have been rewarded and others suffer again

[vernal fulcrum]

Thought they said they were sending out extra dirctives?

[errant barn]

There are lot of things they said and they never did unfortunately.

[glass pewter]

https://klipy.com/gifs/hang-first-time

I am sure we will get them once the events conclude. They are quick to adjust things that benefit them, never what benefits the players.

[manic scroll]

They really borked the rebslancing of the new borgmadas.

Im not the strongest lvl 56 out there but i should be able to kill 1...

[shadow trellis]

Sending out extra directives so the lower lvls can carry on failing 😂 gotta love scopley

[wheat pasture]

Would love to see those extra directives, too.

[median zenith]

I'm curious about the warp dive bar Iso Damage effect being in red text. This means that ability is not yet active. I have opened the first couple research nodes and built level 2 of the building. Still the red text. Anyone know about this?

[alpine niche]

Have a 3* Exocomp Combat going and it is NOT giving me any points.

This is for the California Class Event.

[hollow sphinx]

@full swan whatever you all did to the new armadas....undo it!

[surreal warren]

1,8 million points of 5 million points is not "...only got enuf points to make it half way!?" - its 36%

[surreal warren]

3 stellas

[robust laurel]

What on earth has been done to the new armadas.... literally unplayable after that 'adjustment'!

Yesterday had no issues with the level 55's now just instant death with the same ships and crews - please reverse what ever has been done so players not at ops lvl 70 can actually engage!

[surreal warren]

mission marker magnet = 99 bucks in the store soon

[oak lodge]

My alliance mates tell me that there's an alliance Spreading the Word event, but I can't find it. Is this happening today?

[gloomy current]

<@&509690795536941056>
If the goal is to encourage alliance participation and to collaborate for the maverick tasks, the way you guys have this setout is all wrong.

As is: The current format doesn't encourage 'alliance participation', it rewards alliances with lots of G7 players because lower players basically earn barely anything towards the totals.

If, what you really want to do is reward alliance participation, regardless of a players ops level, a player should receive X pts for killing a hostile/armada appropriate to their Ops level, and then receive +/- Y pts for each tier they punch up/down.

That means every player contributes similar points to their alliance based on their ability to hit up/down, instead of making it so that alliances with only G7 players can really complete the weekly alliance tasks

[surreal warren]

i was speedrunning them as a whole and was never able to read (because of time pressure) any of the missions text what is a shame and a slap in the face of the guys who wrote them.

[surreal warren]

i assume no one knows

[surreal warren]

"we've made adhustments... to better align with intended engagement."

i will translate it for you:
"We want a maximum of 10 players to be able to do our new events, and the rest of you peasants can go to hell."

[ripe forge]

"We have adjusted the armadas, pray we don't adjust them any further"

[surreal warren]

i can enlight you: this bonus only activates after you upgraded this building to level 20

[surreal warren]

Scopely behaves exacly like your toxic ex-gf/ex.
best way is to completly ignore there bs altogether and show them that they have to change.

[maiden ridge]

Fair. Still alot to ask. You can only get so many parts in that time frame. So if it isnt someone that already has them stocked up, they were just SOL

[surreal warren]

every new event we got the last couple of weeks was either bugged or DoA.
or both...

[maiden ridge]

Like I keep saying, quit trying to do new things for a while and just fix whats here.

[hollow lichen]

Does it matter? If it was cascade , maybe but adding single to low double digit iso damage to ships with already 500+% makes about as much difference as putting on spf50 while watching a nuclear explosion

[thick temple]

please clarify which of FC Locutus's abilities work for these new BORG solo armadas. The one mentioned in the recent blog post says it is for group armadas. Has it been revised? Do his abilities for BORG solo armadas also work for the new ones? What about his skills that work for all solo armadas?

[proven sparrow]

might want to re-think these armada powers. the 55's are 1 shotting my alliance members so they are trying higher and cant make a dent. low level should be "introduction" type armadas and easy and people should be able to kill their ops levels anyway

[thick temple]

this player is not ready for 58s. Those crews are probably not ideal. This player may have better available.

[proven sparrow]

i know but 55's are bugged and 1 shotting people

[neat lake]

Looks like the Maverick tasks are not scoring

[molten marlin]

which one

[median zenith]

Thank you for the enlightenment! That was my next guess either at 10 or 20.

[Edit I posted my building at level 20 below... this turns out not to be true, so no enlightenment received after all 🙁 ]

[surreal warren]

someone else already replied to you this would make absolutely no difference because everything less than 1000% damage bonus is not noticable.

[median zenith]

Yeah that's true my other bonuses are way higher, I assumed it would, and may still, scale up appropriately as you level the building...

[Edit I realized you can see the bonuses in the details so yeah... not gonna give much...]

[copper shadow]

aw then thets not a big deal right.

[little sinew]

<@&509690795536941056>
Where are these promised directives. You pinged my discord at 4:28 am....

[proven sparrow]

im guessing it will come along with the next armada kill sms and think thats being held off till they fix the issue with the lvl 55 armadas

[little sinew]

Sounds fair... communication works even better

[marble parrot]

Total defeat and/or victory.

To make it work folks i had to tripple? Quad boost

Cerritos x 2 ships then titan for all plus single ship as well as defiant x 2 just for the sake of it.

🥵🤭

To boost or not to boost!

[opaque hawk]

did i miss the chest with directives they said they were sending out this morning?

[molten marlin]

soon

[opaque hawk]

TM

[ripe forge]

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon

[cloud canyon]

Hey … we were told this morning that there would be additional Directives provided so we could “jump back in and take advantage of the changes”.
Haven’t received anything since the early-AM announcement … did someone “change their mind” ???

[molten marlin]

soon

[marble parrot]

Defeat was in 63 rounds - boosted victory in 37. 😅

[tribal frost]

Soy nivel 66 y apenas puedo derrotar las 60....El evento de alianza de esas armadas prácticamente es imposible de completar y el salto de la 69 a la 72 es exagerado...

[keen scaffold]

They unintentionally made the 55 conqueror armadas more difficult. People lose directives to 55's they were killing yesterday. Revert difficulty of the 55's. Are you going to replace the directives lost? Can only get enough to run 1 armada every 24 hours as it is.

[hollow sphinx]

from announcements:

Commanders

Earlier today, we updated Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas to improve the overall player experience. However, this update unintentionally increased the strength of the Level 55 variants.

We have now reverted the Weapon Damage, Shield Health, and Hull Health of Level 55 Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas to their lower original values from the launch of the First Contact Arc. These changes should make the Level 55 variants more aligned with their intended difficulty and more manageable to defeat.

Thank you for your patience while we addressed this issue.

LLAP
The STFC Team

[vague spear]

Verified. I was able to use yesterday’s crews and ships to kill tonight what I could not kill this morning. Hopefully Scopley will see fit to refund my wasted 300 directives as I tried to figure out what I was doing wrong.

[median zenith]

I built the warp drive bar to level 20 and the red text indicating the building affect is inactive is still there. I did a client restart as well. Also, I know the affect is small but I'm posting for those curious about it.

[hollow sphinx]

guessing you bought the material to do that. not sure if that means it isn't in effect or a display glitch.

[vague spear]

Asked for and received 👍🏻

[turbid hamlet]

Once more. STOP CHANGING Mechanics in the MIDDLE of an SLB. Do it AFTER.

[peak meteor]

That fixed work and the replacement starts are great but some of us missed out on daily event due to the troubles and now are going to be missing points for the sms meta events. It would be nice to get them points also.

[errant wind]

Great job Scopley uncommon Borge armadas don’t register, Common does , where is it written in the event , omg

Just wasted 3 directives

Am I mistaken

Common only works , doesn’t say crapppp about it

[agile latch]

That event is finished. Also every new armadas counts.

[errant wind]

I know

Only works with Common

[agile latch]

So how I finished it with uncommons?

[errant wind]

No idea

Tried 3 times on uncommon, did not register

Had to go to 60 level to do common

[frosty crown]

No logic

[tacit zephyr]

It's clear that Scopely, instead of using artificial intelligence to program the game, is using artificial stupidity to program it, and it's not very good at math.🙈

[civic pasture]

look at the power diff between the 55 vs the 58 its a huge step up. also may have crew issues. maybe possible with better crew setup and a lot of buffs. (if you didnt already use buff on that 58)

[proven sparrow]

Its because they gave increased Hull HP to targets with Apex Barrier giving it a major buff
More rounds, more shots on you, more crits on you

[wheat bison]

The Maverick faction is overly convoluted to work through and consumes too much time to complete to any reasonable level, not to mention the excessive use of paywalls. As a result it is rapidly approaching “ignore” status just like the Terran faction as the arena function is useless.
