If this isn't a sign of how starved for content the player base is, then I don't know what more can be said...

<@&509691205798592532> Dear scopely, please do not restrict PVE missions to a single system. Distribute the PVE kill requirements so that this does not happen: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/576976061481484298/600768002413035530/unknown.png

This was utterly predictable and preventable.

nocturne knot Jul 16, 2019, 8:13 PM

#

This event is just plain silly... Why, oh why, would you make it so the same system had the kill 30 hostiles (2x 30 kill quests so far, haven't made it through the quest line yet), and have it be the "starting" system too yet?! Let us kill the hostiles, who cares what system they're in? I've gotten one done, working on the second one, and I've attacked reds probably 50 times, gotten 4 kills because the lag and whatnot is just so terrible right now and the system so congested. Not exactly a new problem, but it keeps happening and it's very uncool

#

@vagrant topaz you have to be able to get a ship in system first 😂 But, I saw you, didn't witness the purge though 😛

peak glen Jul 16, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

1.5 hours, clearing localization, and about 6 restarts later I killed 30 🎉

Oh the frequency modulators? At leas those can be grabbed from outside Andvaris, correct?

high obsidian Jul 16, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

Trying to kill 30 hostiles in a full system on a new event is kind of a bad idea.

Not a well thought out event. This cluster event is a clustermess. Boo

granite schooner Jul 16, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

not just that some of us at 28 getting close ot getting our faction ships now need to kill 600mobs with as best a 300ship which may survive 3-4 if your lucky.. we need to kill 7200 of them at a repair cost of 50-70k trit per.. 126mil trit to maybe finish the event .. franklin isn't better its pretty much required..

weak ocean Jul 16, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

what exactly do u have to do for the events?
kill x drone ships to get y points?
what is the reward?

granite schooner Jul 16, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

you can kill anything ot get points for franklin BP but it only give you half the BP

slim wing Jul 16, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

How many servers have crashed so far?

high obsidian Jul 16, 2019, 10:40 PM

#

Less server crashing, and the inability to do the 30 kills in one system cause... EVERYONE IS THERE.

#

Cause you have to kill 30 of these things in the ONE system.

astral galleon Jul 16, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

@prime gulch Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!! Do the devs wipe back to front? Whos grand idea was it to kill the servers and jam everyone in the galaxy into one sector of space to farm swarms?

high obsidian Jul 16, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

@prime gulch I have to agree. This event was not really well thought out for the 'masses'. Please inform whoever developed the missions to take into consideration the concept of thousands of people trying to do 1) The initial quest which is in One system... 2) Making them try to kill 30 hostiles in the same system as the beginning quest, literally congesting the system so that people can't get in for 1 or finish 2 because there is LITERALLY no relief of that system due to the requirements of #2.

#

It would have been better to have #2 having people hit Swarm Hostiles that they can take on and letting them know the possible other systems, or simply have them hit, at most 5 and then edge them out to the other systems to hit more than 30 in the STARTING system.

harsh geode Jul 16, 2019, 10:58 PM

Yeah, this event fails to find the fun.

Kill 30 swarms. Fine. Kill any system. Kill 30 in 1 system for an entire server, asking for a crash.

open dock Jul 16, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

Please do events where random enemy bases are spread out so we can hunt them down and raid them. Put a shit ton of rss on it.

#

Also, do events where enemy hostiles will appear in any system and start killing players. Whoever does damage to these hostiles, can get some good rewards or some shit.

There may be more than one set that the devs are trying

dry shadow Jul 17, 2019, 12:16 AM

So I just killed 30 hostiles and a couple quests down the road in the same quest chain sends me back to the same system to kill another 30?!?!?! Scopely how bad are you???? No brains whatsoever.

mild glacier Jul 17, 2019, 12:44 AM

#

only 30? I had to do 30, then 50, then another 50.

mild glacier Jul 17, 2019, 1:01 AM

There's a problem with the continuation of the event, it has a hard wall of level 26. BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

#

Total garbage. Don't introduce an event for level 15's then tell them they can't finish it until level 26.

#

Hard FAIL Scopely!

untold osprey Jul 17, 2019, 1:18 AM

#

This swarm thing is really poor. I just had a 30 glitch/gap in my game. 1000 people in one system to each kill 100 hostile swarms is poor mgmt.

#

The new pvp. .. took away over half of my targets and it fails in my mind to address professional lvl 14 players.

mild glacier Jul 17, 2019, 1:20 AM

#

makes the matter worse, we were all complaining about lvl 14 players, now we have to worry about lvl 18 players that can't be hit.

#

and 19.

#

basically everyone under 20 just got immunity and everyone over 22 just became cannon fodder for the 30's

mild glacier Jul 17, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

higher levels still have a wider attack range, only the lower levels got nerfed

vagrant topaz Jul 17, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

@mild glacier it’s that way on purpose so you shell out $ to level up

#

I got nerfed 1 lvl spread

#

At 33 I could hit 22s. I can’t hit 22s anymore

mild glacier Jul 17, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

@vagrant topaz that's not a sound theory as it takes extreme amounts of time to level up even with money....and it takes a ton of money.

vagrant topaz Jul 17, 2019, 1:24 AM

#

They hope you’ll shell out a few grand

mild glacier Jul 17, 2019, 1:25 AM

#

1 level doesn't really feel like a nerf for a 33 with an 11 level spread. 2 levels is a HUGE nerf for a 24 with only a 4 level spread.

marsh osprey Jul 17, 2019, 1:25 AM

F2P can get the event ship, the Franklin, through grinding, missions, and events ...

you forget there was a 6 hour delay due to issues on the founding server, first to be updated ... like always when there is an update delay, it will follow ... you get the benefit of us finding all the difficult stuff for you 😉

mild glacier Jul 17, 2019, 1:32 AM

#

you guys need to work harder then, you missed quite a few.

marsh osprey Jul 17, 2019, 1:33 AM

lol ... the guys completed both mission lines

#

they also found bugs in the missions that were fixed before you were updated

#

now onto events ...

mild glacier Jul 17, 2019, 1:57 AM

#

I guess we have a loose definition of fixed then. I guess the ability to complete should be enough considering there's other stuff that we can't do at all.

marsh osprey Jul 17, 2019, 1:59 AM

Wow, so I just refined this new material and got a whopping 250K trit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!1!!!, with a reset of 22 hours. I'm dying (literally) to kill more of these high level bastards, whose loot btw sucks big time, so I can burn up instant repairs to get another 250K trit in 22 hours!!!! Sheesh. It's faster for me to just raid little bases next door.

Please end this stupid event FAST so I can see it removed from my refinement and daily task screen

@high obsidian well 12hrs post maintenance and I still can't warp there because too many ships.... sigh 🤷

high obsidian Jul 17, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

The sad thing of it all, is that whoever developed this event... Never took into consideration their playerbase

#

You are dealing with 100s, if not 1000s of players. All of which will want to do the event.

#

Jamming them into ONE system, and having them fight 30 hostiles in same system is foolishly a bad idea, as it is highly contested and also blockading others from getting in, cause 100s are trying to compete for 30 hostile kills in a starting system.

#

Add to that, having people go BACK to said system again, which will STILL be crowded for 2 more mission requirements.

#

And it only 'lessens' when you get past needing to go to this one system.

sudden sage Jul 17, 2019, 5:43 AM

#

What the hell is wrong with you people at Scopely... start an event where you have to kill 30 enemies repeatedly and everyone has to do it in the same system leading to a massive overload in that system and no one can get reds cause the lag and spawn rate suck. 🤦‍♂️

#

Someone over there really needs to get fired

bleak moat Jul 17, 2019, 5:53 AM

I don't know what you're all moaning about. Just pop some uppers and do the kills at 4am

But no slacking, you have to go back and do another 30 later on.

kindred glacier Jul 17, 2019, 7:53 AM

there are 2 events to obtain the Bps..solo hostile event and later on solo mining event.. if you complete both events, you will get 45 bps each and your free Franklin

vagrant topaz Jul 17, 2019, 8:15 AM

#

any news on when these events start?

wet vale Jul 17, 2019, 9:32 AM

#

More predictable feedback - i've got dailies to kill lvl30, 28 and 15 swarm mobs. 15 are trivial, 28/30 are completely impossible and will be for some weeks until i've got the franklin built and tiered up. You should either have given away the franklin, added some more achievable goals for people that don't have it built, or actually started the event to earn franklin bps sooner so we could have it ready for when these new dailies arrived.

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 9:33 AM

#

@wet vale I guess you're 28 or 29? do you have any faction ships?

wet vale Jul 17, 2019, 9:35 AM

#

29, got a Saladin but bottlenecked on uncommon g3 as usual, my kumari is currently better for hostile killing usually. Without doing any crew optimisation my 300k power saladin could kill 1 lvl28, 600k power swarm ship at the cost of about 60% hull. Not tried against a 30.

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 9:35 AM

#

hrm ok, what lvl/tier is your sally?

#

my Vakhlas can kill 3x28s

#

more if you collect the ones others tried to hit and died in the process 😄

wet vale Jul 17, 2019, 9:46 AM

#

Sally is t3, waiting on one gun to tier up. Vahklas is only 250k power odd, doubt it'll do any better - basically i'm skipping anything but the lvl15s kill daily quest until i've got the franklin built and tiered. It would have been nice to have something a bit meatier than lvl15s to hit, and not have 2 quests for 28s/30s that just don't look worth doing.

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 9:47 AM

#

my Vak is 220K (I think T6 with no upgrades) so it'll do better than your sally by the sound of things

#

but yeah I'm also skipping the 28/30 for now

#

and the 50*15 for 30 of those biothingies is just a waste of time IMO

wet vale Jul 17, 2019, 9:52 AM

#

I've killed most of the 50 just doing quests today so i'll finish that off, but yeah until franklin is built most of the rewards look skippable.

vagrant topaz Jul 17, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

@kindred glacier When will we get these events for franklin bps?

leaden zealot Jul 17, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

My sally is tier 5, 1 impulse engine away from tier 6, I can kill 1 (maybe 2) level 30 swarms.

feral vault Jul 17, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

2 sets of "kill 30 in Andvaris" was not thought out well... the only way to get any kills is to spawn-camp, along with all of the other spawn-campers

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

that is if you can even warp to it 😄

#

I started killing campers for fun, too bad the new PvP range doesn't allow me to attack even lower levels 😄

sullen lynx Jul 17, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

@prime gulch this is impossible! The highest swarm I can destroy is 24 and that gives me one point. Way to make an event feasible and fun. First you provide missions that dead end bases on level; then You make an event that is impossible to make headway on . Thanks

vagrant topaz Jul 17, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

@sullen lynx You don't have to kill swarms for the PvE event.

vagrant topaz Jul 17, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

That Franklin is utterly useless. My saladin kills swarms better

#

And millions of freq mods to upgrade it. Not going to spend 500$ and you can farm them. Well you can but 3 million divided by 300 per kill = 10,000 kills. I’m no effen way

@mental oyster they gave some time to get the Franklin,so we can easily do dailies

mental oyster Jul 17, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

Yes but having the event not start with dailies is still silly. I can, for example fairly easily take my centurion and do the 28s and 15s. I just think it makes more sense to have an event basically requiring you to do the dailies start with said dailies

winged axle Jul 17, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

@mental oyster I can only finish 2 of the new dailies.I am lvl 25 with a 230k kum.So it is better to get Franklin for me.

#

I need 3-4 trips to finish dailies(I kill 24s only,because 15s are too crowded)

long wyvern Jul 17, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

They have made the swarm OP so you purchase the Franklin early to complete daily missions.

The really sad thing is! the Franklin at T6 can only take out a few level 28 swarm, making the ship entirely useless.

I understand it's a pay to win game, but the swarm have been set at a silly power!

Level 32 swarm is 900k power, compared to a Klingon B'rel at the same level which is half the given power!

ripe elm Jul 17, 2019, 7:08 PM

Anyone else notice the ships ability on the franklin doesnt work?........38 times damage to swarm.....errr no

vagrant topaz Jul 17, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

6.5k damage Vs normal hostiles, 238k damage Vs swarm, per shot at t8 lv40, multiplier is 145 but pretty sure that's off base level stats

winged axle Jul 17, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

What is attack per round in tier 1 Franklin? @vagrant topaz

long wyvern Jul 17, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

@vagrant topaz A level 32 swarm is 1.4million power, a tier 6 Franklin has no hope of killing one and I just tried killing a 32 swarm in my 550k Mayflower which also stood no chance.

My PVE event requires 7200 points.

I feel sorry for those paying to get the Franklin to find it's no better than a regular combat ship.

This event is 100% broken and I'm sure all will agree.

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 7:21 PM

@long wyvern you can kill normal hostiles for the event

#

Most of the players asked the same question multiple times today

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 7:22 PM

Also my T6 Vakhlas can kill 3 lvl28 swarm, I would have expected the Franklin at same tier to do much better....

vagrant topaz Jul 17, 2019, 7:23 PM

Most folks just write a message first but I'll ask 🤔

#

Have you raised the xp relative to the tier?

#

It's kinda frequent 😂

long wyvern Jul 17, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

Well blow me down! That's good but not self explanatory as everything this event is geared towards hostiles, which actually makes the PVE event actually seem odd, rather than the community 'assuming it's the contrary

#

Geared towards swarm*

hasty hemlock Jul 17, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

The event is "geared" towards letting you build your Franklin, why would they make you kill swarm before you have it?

Event Feedback/Question

I'm L26, and I have to kill 9000 pts of hostiles for the weekly event.
Some alliance mates are 30, have to kill 3000 pts of hostiles.

Why is that such a large difference?

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

Because they have to kill lvl34 hostiles and you have to kill lvl30 hostiles and the power triples between them...

clever nest Jul 17, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

So it's more a logarithmic scale

#

ish

#

haha

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 7:39 PM

#

It's more of a "how much can they kill before they give up and not do the event" scale

#

With my Kumari for example I can kill 60 lvl 30, 20 lvl 32 and maybe 3 lvl 34

hasty hemlock Jul 17, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

Yea hostile power scaling gets steep at higher levels. I can kill 33s and not even see any damage, 34 I get scratched, 35 I see a dent here or there, 36 outright kills me 🤣

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 7:40 PM

#

Just to give some scale... of course at ops 30 you should have better ships

clever nest Jul 17, 2019, 7:40 PM

@hasty hemlock is that with the kumi?

hasty hemlock Jul 17, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

No, Saladin

#

I haven't upgraded my Kumari in ages. Have tons of ore, but 2 horizons and a Saladin to throw all my crystal at

#

Plus shipyard 29, and my drydocks

raw axle Jul 17, 2019, 7:46 PM

#

Ahh ok good to know.. need to start killing 33s for dailies soon lol

ripe elm Jul 17, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

T5 Franklin gets killed by a single lvl 26 swarm....i have 60 lvl28 swarm to kill for the last mission....to upgrade the franklin requires millions of modulators meaning you need to be killing lvl30 plus swarm to even grind upgrades over months

lofty wyvern Jul 17, 2019, 7:56 PM

#

Where are these Franklin missions?

radiant moon Jul 17, 2019, 8:06 PM

#

@vagrant topaz could not resist. But needed the Crystal from the packs too for my Saladin soooo win win... i mean for Scopley.

📎 image0.png

#

Only the Warp on Tier 8 is missing. 400k frequency modulators.

vagrant topaz Jul 17, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

Strong enough at that point for lv32s, grind the rest

#

Damage boost doubles in the last 5 xp levels

vagrant topaz Jul 18, 2019, 6:48 AM

#

So.... server 133 here.... the event says its lasting for 8 days... but.... we’re only getting a total of 7 days on it... is this correct?

mild glacier Jul 18, 2019, 6:50 AM

#

If it's a US server that appears to be correct

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 7:11 AM

#

let me use a comparison versus intro of augment space to give feedback:

instead of mining space this is a pve space
current ships can’t perform ever in this space (at least in augspace was locked and other miners do work, albeit slower), good luck killing lvl 32 swarm.One needs brell and takes 3 kills per repair. They perform at lower level hostiles.
= all systems are open from start (no unlocking via mission) [neutral, personally i like missions]
new chain of missions, but rewards are not the ship parts (instead these are accessed by completing two long 7d events or visa/mastercard), rewards are upgrade materials for Franklin
no faction ladder, just level up the dedicated ship(franklin)
= rewards via daily missions, but only one of three doable (other two require tiering up franklin)
= rewards via refinery are jus P, Trit, Dil no use of store
no new officers (well just one, unclear what she does. My money goes on swarm killing)
apparently rewards include uncommon, so far none, perhaps in events. BUT the new ship increases my needs for uncommons, so not sure there is a net win.

score 6 negative points, 3 neutral meh points, 0 positive

vagrant topaz Jul 18, 2019, 7:14 AM

#

@mild glacier nope EU server

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 7:33 AM

#

@obtuse wraith you can kill the higher swarms with other ships too, if they are good. Most of my ally members usw high lvl vahklas, centurion enterprise etc. But its a bit expensive.

Why do you need uncommon? Didnt See any need for it, just a mass of common.

#

I can do 2 of the daily with my kumari

#

You forgot to mention the ultra high grind to lvl up the ship... The amount of needed frequency modulators is sick... You will need month of grinding to geht the Franklin any good

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 7:51 AM

#

@hayden good point, the time needed to grind the Franklin is enormous and there is no long term reward.

Valk I haven't tried yet, did try intrepid and saladin. But I wonder if Valk can kill lvl 32 swarms, for sure not going to invest in Valk. Once you have kumi Valk is not really needed.

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 7:55 AM

#

I thought about getting the Franklin as it ist that expensive... But only warp 27 max and that modulator grind... Thats to mich for me, i gonna make the event for the rewards but no more

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 7:58 AM

#

A useful tweak would be to make the missions scale with the tier of the Frank, not the lvl of the player. I am 32, directly swarms 32 are tier 8- 9 frank and not doable with anything else.

Valk vs 28s in a few minutes, if successful move up the food chain.

vagrant topaz Jul 18, 2019, 8:08 AM

#

The event sucks for all my f2p crew, they won't get teir 4 so won't be getting the ship again. Another great event scoply as far as ships go. NOT!

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:10 AM

#

Isnit rly that hard to geht t4 in your Server?

#

Is it

vagrant topaz Jul 18, 2019, 8:11 AM

#

Best way to improve retention I've seen in a game. Maybe consider releasing ships early for purchase and f2p could earn the BP eventually.

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:11 AM

#

Several in my Server are already donr with it

vagrant topaz Jul 18, 2019, 8:11 AM

#

Yes unfortunately.

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

you can get the crew pass T4 just grind those credits out

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

I am that that my Server has the "GMC" so minerhitting isnt allowed except he is overfreight vor Sitzung in an empty mine which makes the mining event easier

vagrant topaz Jul 18, 2019, 8:13 AM

Not many on my server

i'm 27 and will go for 28 when i have 20k fed credits and the crystal for shipyard

mine is at 280k ish not gonna upg it more tho

#

it's fine at it's power atm

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:22 AM

190k right now, the amount of needed ore ... My refinery hates me

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 8:25 AM

yeah it will eat lots of ore

#

but it will be your best ship up to 28 !

#

what factions do you have btw?

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:25 AM

#

I rushed to get to lvl 24 but now i gonna take it slow, gonna upgrade everything first.

Fed and kling.

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 8:26 AM

#

oh nice kling you can go for bortas

#

good ship

#

and feds go for saladin

#

i;m fed/rom so sala and cent

and grinding bortas bp's from daily kling killings ^^ so far 2 :)) and 2 b'rel

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:28 AM

No ress for bortas, that would take way to long.
I wanted to take the centurion AS i wanted to save the crystalls for my miner... But the lvl 31 ships dont Luke me :)

#

Like

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 8:29 AM

#

you will have time to gather the rss for it tho

#

do not rush for ops

#

at 26 will be easier with horizon to loot bases

#

try to win events to get the uncommon and rare mats

#

i'm playing since end of december

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:37 AM

#

I didnt have to loot any bases till now, always had enough RSS Form events but i got a string ally which could open any base for me :)

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 8:38 AM

#

im in a nice alliance

#

when i was under 24 they would had open bases for me and i would had feested nicely

#

at 24 i got kumi i would open bases for myself

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:38 AM

#

And i do Every event i can and farm AS much AS hostiles AS possible while doing all dailys :)

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 8:39 AM

#

and the fun starts at 26 when you get the horizon'\

#

before horizon i had like 100M ish looted already

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:39 AM

#

Yeah, more cargospace :)

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 8:39 AM

#

since i got horizon i;m at 212M looted :))

#

in 3 weeks looted 112m already

#

and those points are bugged btw

#

the amount you really loot is double of the points

weak ocean Jul 18, 2019, 8:43 AM

Only Raider 360k till now 😂

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 8:43 AM

#

hehe you will grow xD

wet vale Jul 18, 2019, 10:10 AM

#

If you give me a mission to kill 360 lvl32 mobs, along with every other lvl28/9 on the server, at least make a few systems where ONLY they spawn. I hate this event.

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 10:16 AM

#

Valk Tier 7, 348k, pink kirk, blue spock and uhura can kill 1 swarm 30 per repair. And 5-6 swarm 28s. No way 32s. I have see snaps of 500k pay flower trying swarm 32 and getting slaughtered. So, like I said, missions for 32s need bigger explorers. Brell or Centurion. I know a lvl 33 player with Brell who could do 3 per repair.

#

Unfortunately I am 32 without a big Explorer, so can only get frequency modulator via hostiles and 1 of 3 missions. The other 2 missions are impossible and this is frustrating. Missions should be dependent on Franklin tier not on player level.

raw axle Jul 18, 2019, 10:22 AM

#

(almost) everything is dependent on player level, there wouldn't be much incentive to upgrade the franklin if dailies were based on its level

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 10:28 AM

#

And what is the incentive now?

raw axle Jul 18, 2019, 10:28 AM

#

to be able to complete the dailies?

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 10:31 AM

#

Catch 22 isn't it? You can't if you are lvl 30+ thus u don't get the resources to upgrade because The only effective way is via missions. Good luck grinding 500k for tier 6 Franklin vs hostiles lvl 26 that barely drop 100 each. That's 5000 hostiles per weapon. 3 weapons.

raw axle Jul 18, 2019, 10:32 AM

#

lol yes that's normal scopely for you 😄

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 10:32 AM

#

how much do the 3 dailies give at that lvl?

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 10:33 AM

#

Yea 😂

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 10:33 AM

#

i get 10-11k ish or so modulators at 27

raw axle Jul 18, 2019, 10:33 AM

#

13K at 28

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 10:33 AM

so at 30 most probably 18k

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 10:34 AM

#

12k for 25 X 32 swarm and 9k for 20 x 32 swarm. Catch is i can't kill 32.

lilac kayak Jul 18, 2019, 10:34 AM

#

or more

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 10:34 AM

21k at 32

I do have a 50x swarm 15 or higher, gives a joke amount.

Event "Threat from Beyond - Heroic!" 24h for 375 points to be earned.... Tachan... By killing 32s (1 point) and 35s (10 point). WTF people?

sullen plinth Jul 18, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Crappy choice of systems for the mission chain by concentrating everyone into one system for multiple mission completions and killing of hostiles. Really quite difficult missions completion goals for the PVE and mining events. Disabling the faction events that seem to have always been around?

Just no. If it was one of those things, maybe, but all three?

Edit: I see faction dailies will be turned back on in 12 hours. That's fine. Just communicate it up front. Use that News channel!

Augment was a much better event. This isn't just meh, this is actively bad.

obtuse wraith Jul 18, 2019, 4:42 PM

vagrant topaz Jul 19, 2019, 10:30 AM

#

<@&509691205798592532> At the moment the Threat from Beyond: LB event is only interesting for about 3% of the players per server,
as the rewards outside of the top 10 are not even worth trying as the repair costs are more than what you regain in the top 10-100 rewards

Please consider the following for upcoming similar solo leaderboard events:

Bracketed event
lvl 15-20
lvl 21-25
lvl 26-30
lvl 30+

replace intrepid BP's by
Jelly/NS for 15-20
lvl 26 faction ship for 21-25
lvl 28 faction ship for 26-30

maybe more uncommon minerals starting from the lowest tier (scaling on level bracket)

this would make the event interesting for all players = more engagement = more active players = profit

raven sluice Jul 19, 2019, 11:19 AM

vagrant topaz Jul 19, 2019, 11:22 AM

#

in my opinion they set the bar too high, the event is perfectly aimed at people who have the franklin fully upgraded to the tier appropriate to their ops level, they needed a baby franklin event first then this one a few weeks later after people have a chance to grind with it for a while

raven sluice Jul 19, 2019, 11:23 AM

#

Yep true, simple solution is to set 32 lvl for 5 points

raw axle Jul 19, 2019, 11:23 AM

#

@vagrant topaz to be fair at lvl 28 with only a a baby faction ship I figured out a way to make it doable, it's not great, not even good, but doable

@lilac kayak yeah every 12 rounds big gun by the looks of things

lilac kayak Jul 19, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

that applies for lower than 30 or so swarm?

#

cause if for max swarm they die in 5-6 rounds they must fire faster

whole crag Jul 19, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

@raw axle I didn’t bother looking at 30’s or lower crit occurrence. But I will testify with evidence above! 35’s can crit multiple times in less than 6 rounds

#

That’s roughly half hull gone without the crits on the Tlann run. If it would have thrown 2 crits it’s over. And the frequency of one or more crits per attack was pretty high. I was using gladius and centurion as cannon fodder before attacking with Franklin. Just to get some hull dmg on them. Any advantage possible

raw axle Jul 19, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

I'm not talking about crits @whole crag just a big gun that they seem to have which fires every 12 rounds.

#

@lilac kayak yes I'm pretty sure I saw the same on 28s and 26s

whole crag Jul 19, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Understood. I’d be terrified if there was a big gun as well on 35’s in those first rounds

basically that's the ship killer then but not at higher level if the fight lasts under 10 lol

Pro tip, Franklin makes a great base defence ship.
Mine is 179 at base, absorbed all of a 500k Sally hit in the one shot the Sally had and Franky kept on shooting.
Blue Spock as Capt with purple Kirk and blue bones works best for me.

stray harbor Jul 20, 2019, 10:38 AM

With the ridiculous amount of frequency modulators needed to tier up the Franklin, we need a way to mine them! 60,000ish to get from tier 2 to 3 is insane when you can only collect 6 (no zeroes added there) per kill on lvl 18s.

gilded edge Jul 20, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

you can 'mine' them by killing swarms

#

not everything should be made available the faster lazy way, for some stuff, you should put some effort in

#

if you are the lazy type, go the lazy way and buy them

#

my 2 cents about that

#

Blood, Sweat and Tears !

#

except for the andriva factor, this event is nice and doable if you have enough time

wet vale Jul 20, 2019, 11:16 AM

#

Not that great that the only pack for frequency modulators is £93, or is this another case of scopely deciding that since i've paid out enough i can only buy big items now? I don't want 1.2m modulators, just enough to get it tiered a bit more..

stray harbor Jul 20, 2019, 11:21 AM

you think this will be the only swarm event ?

swarms remain

tough pasture Jul 20, 2019, 5:14 PM

#

It is tactics, making it slightly to difficult so you pay

#

And then they wonder why they are struggeling to keep lower levels playing

#

And when you Reach level 20 you cannot do anything with ships unless you bought a jelly or NS

#

When you reach 24 (if you didn’t quit) it is only about uncommon. But you need so many that refinement will never give you.

#

In most packages there are hardly any

#

And that “leaderboard” event is for the 10–20 players that spend 2k a month

#

So i have no idea why they even put it in my even list

#

Your number 200 with 2 million damage, nr 1 has 2 billion damage

raw axle Jul 20, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

@tough pasture the monthly package content increase as you level up, and the amount of UCs you get as well

#

plus do solo/daily events for more UC, always keep ship/officer XP for an event, try to finish research/station events if you have speedups

#

leaderboard don't bother really

tough pasture Jul 20, 2019, 5:23 PM

#

Yes i learned that

#

So my officer xp Goes in events i can win

raw axle Jul 20, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

yep, monitor the officer/ship leaderboards to see roughly how much you'll need to get a good spot in these and if you have enough you can try and do for it

#

they are bracketed by levels so you should have a decent chance if you save XP for some time

tough pasture Jul 20, 2019, 5:34 PM

#

I normally save 1-1,25 million xp before i participate

finite birch Jul 20, 2019, 7:49 PM

Bored of having to vie for swarm kills, got better games to play that you don't have to spend hours grinding or mining to achieve anything. Mining events are crap because of bullies. Other than that the drop rates for the Solo's are good and satisfying to be rewarded.

#

The story lines are good with good rewards at the end, shame it can't scale slightly to provide a better challenge for mid and high level players.

boreal canyon Jul 20, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

This needs to be fixed. If the bottom comment from support is true, it's definitely not how the ship should be intended to work. A 27% increase to crap damage is still crap damage. The wording in game needs to be what is happening. The ship is supposed to be a swarm destroying machine, like the the botany bay is for data. At the moment it is not worth it. An event ship should be more effective at all levels, not only after $800 is pumped into it.

franklin's freq.mod /parts is insane, to reach t4 you need almost 200k total. lvl 24 swarm droprate is around 60, daily's give 2-3k. either raise droprate at least 10x or lower parts cost same rate (still huge amounts of trit and dil to upgrade, but thats fair for a grade 3 ship)

weary zenith Jul 21, 2019, 3:05 PM

#

Yeah it's bullshit the amount of frequency modulators you need. I need almost a million more to go from T5 to T6. I can only hit a couple of lvl 24s at a time, so at this rate it will take me 2,376 years of non-stop grinding to get there.

gilded edge Jul 21, 2019, 3:36 PM

#

reading is difficult...

wet vale Jul 21, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

The frequency mod cost makes this whole new daily skippable to me. As someone with dual reps getting the daily token is easy without killing swarm, and now with a t3 franklin i still can't kill as easily as with my vahklas, i need 150k more modulator parts to tier it further, which is a good 20 days of the lowest daily which is all i can do efficiently. All that so that i can do the daily efficiently with the franklin, and nothing else.
Unless you add an extra daily reward tier only reachable with swarm kill dailies completed, it looks a lot easier not to bother.

#

I really enjoyed 22(?)uncommon per day in addition.

#

On the other hand I can understand Scopelys behavior. They are a company that has to earn money to pay their Members. So they try to sell packs as much as possible. Its not always the best way for f2p players. But you wouldnt go to work if your company wouldnt pay you at the end of the month either.

hasty hemlock Jul 23, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

@hazy orbit it's earned from the special event of spend $100 on its pack

frozen smelt Jul 23, 2019, 9:37 PM

#

Agreed. You’d think they’d make the egregious cash grab a little more subtle.

hasty hemlock Jul 23, 2019, 9:39 PM

#

The pack isn't even a good deal imo, normal recruit packs are a way better value

mild glacier Jul 24, 2019, 3:45 AM

#

That event is an absolutely shameless cash grab. We all balked the second we saw it.

#

the funny part is, the material gets used in a recruit payout, but ayone large enough to be buying those packs isn't likely to do so because they probably already have all that crew maxed.

raw axle Jul 24, 2019, 6:04 AM

#

You can win the event by using normal recruit tokens, or buy some fed ones in factuon store....

#

Some people save up recruit tokens for special events, x2 chance etc...

#

@hasty hemlock agree, it's very poor value... you get 75 shards of specific set of officers where a normal pack gives you 90 rare/epic and 200 uncommons+, faction credits and more xp

hasty hemlock Jul 24, 2019, 6:08 AM

#

plus you lose the chance at instant officers, the swarm chests have the same drop rates as fed chests

raw axle Jul 24, 2019, 6:15 AM

#

Well they have keenser which isn't available otherwise, and yeah I got 33 kerla shards last night from an ultra recruit pull

hasty hemlock Jul 24, 2019, 6:24 AM

#

true but you can get keenser in 3 weeks of loyalty crates

#

and hes still not worth it

raw axle Jul 24, 2019, 7:19 AM

#

well he's a rare officer, when promoted he'll at least be good in the back seat

#

and since weekly chests gives more UC than monthly, I'll probably get him promoted in couple of weeks

Seriously @prime gulch @cobalt elm <@&509691205798592532> , how in the world are the middle band of players supposed to compete in these events?

I think 192M is a respectable number, but 35k tritanium as my reward????

vagrant topaz Jul 24, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

Well, it is relative to the server you are on and the work people put into it. Since it is ranked event.

#

The issue being that it is inclusive of all levels and isn't tiered.

coarse sentinel Jul 24, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

This is a constant thorn in the side of the players @vagrant topaz , has there been any discussion with Scopely dev on making events more rewarding based on the level of the player relative to other players in that same tier?

minor glen Jul 24, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

Agreed, and that is something we as mods are pushing for

coarse sentinel Jul 24, 2019, 2:54 PM

#

Thanks @minor glen

vagrant topaz Jul 24, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

Yes, I think making it available to win reasonable rewards as a middle tier player is important. I think certain ranked events need to be split based on difficulty.

tropic flame Jul 24, 2019, 3:04 PM

#

If it requires money spent it's not an event it's a purchase

coarse sentinel Jul 24, 2019, 3:05 PM

#

Even Scopely push notification says for the event to use the Franklin. Points for this event should only come from swarm kills using the Franklin.

📎 image0.png

raw axle Jul 24, 2019, 3:06 PM

#

well my guess is that with a properly tiered up Franklin (only available with $$$ at this stage), you could get a decent ranking, but not any other way

#

if I had completed my dailies at 28 it will give me the odd 25M, I just don't bother further

coarse sentinel Jul 24, 2019, 3:07 PM

#

@raw axle that’s simply not true. At least not on my server. The 1M+ battle strength faction ships are almost exclusively used to get into the 3-4B points level

tropic flame Jul 24, 2019, 3:07 PM

#

Epictesus we are on the same server and generally you make since. But he honest and call a horse a freaking horse. This event is set up as another money grab.

raw axle Jul 24, 2019, 3:07 PM

#

btw 192M on our server would put you in top 30

coarse sentinel Jul 24, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

To get into the top 30 on my server I would need a minimum of 566M points

chrome dust Jul 24, 2019, 3:09 PM

#

It just plain needs to be tiered base off of level

#

Otherwise it’s the same people every event LB

raw axle Jul 24, 2019, 3:09 PM

#

@coarse sentinel ok, different servers different players... can't argue with that, I haven't seen any 1M+ ships on our server yet

#

in both cases, it requires $$$ to make it high up

coarse sentinel Jul 24, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

Agreed. Which is why applying the same rewards across all servers not taking into consideration age of player and battle strength is a completely short sighted view of event management across the player base

chrome dust Jul 24, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

Our first place guy has 2.8B to give an idea

coarse sentinel Jul 24, 2019, 3:11 PM

Seems like you are on a similar aged server as I am. 4B for top spot on mine

chrome dust Jul 24, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

And 51st place is 17m all that for 35k tritanium lol

raw axle Jul 24, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

well I did 54M just with the event/dailies and I'm 161, so not even 35K trit lol

#

@coarse sentinel I've been playing since mid-december, we have a lvl37 and couple of 33+, just don't think any of them spent enough for a 1M ship

#

the 37 might even be 39 by now, that's when I checked last week

All the more reason for it to be tiered

raw axle Jul 24, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

@coarse sentinel but player strength doesn't mean they have a 1M+ ship?

#

but yeah... top one on our server is 4M 😄

#

and he's 38 by now

chrome dust Jul 24, 2019, 3:16 PM

Well I’m on a server with more then one level 39

Sooo we got no chance at anything

coarse sentinel Jul 24, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

Exactly! And even when we work our butts off to try and compete, we get marginal rewards for our efforts

raw axle Jul 24, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

well it's a factor of $$$ spent and nothing else

coarse sentinel Jul 24, 2019, 3:17 PM

That’s the issue I have with this LB event. I’m fine with people getting the top tier prizes, but for the rest of us, give us more than 35k tritanium FFS

I am trying to find out how you get more northstar bps without paying. I have tried searching but some info is too old or the info is inconsistent. I know there are some from mission rewards but from what I have researched not enough to build the ship. Some have said the rest can be earned through events. Which events give northstar bps? Or do they at all anymore? I am at ops 18, the current pay store has northstar offer but there don't seem to be any rewarded from the mining event which is the event I assumed you could get them from.

clever nest Jul 24, 2019, 8:12 PM

Can leaderboards get tiered? Mining event leaderboard, kill swarm leaderboard, etc. currently guarantee whoever's in the top 50 on a server will win. It's just wasted space for most of the server.

@raw axle why not? if we don't say anything the devs think everything is just hunky-dory and go about continually producing bad content...oh wait...That's still happening. Exactly what extra do you get? a fraction of a terrible officer? I'd rather have a bit more ship power, at least I can use that for something.

It's a feedback channel. What am I supposed to do here spew false praise?

I can do that.

raw axle Jul 25, 2019, 6:13 AM

@mild glacier at 28 I can get 90 shards (if I had 800UC which I did last week lol), so that will allow me to promote him. Even if he was a terrible officer (and he isn't) he is an epic officer which will give a lot of extra attack bonus in the back seat

And there is that.

mild glacier Jul 26, 2019, 3:19 AM

#

I could use some explanation as to why people think Gorkon is good. I've tried him several times and found him extremely underwhelming. he's been relegated permanently to the lower decks just for his stats.

#

Is he bugged? does his captain ability proc way more than advertized? I haven't noticed anything amazing about him.

boreal canyon Jul 26, 2019, 5:32 AM

#

@mild glacier he's incredible on the saladin. The first gun to fire on the saladin is it's huge kinetic weapon. When gorkon is used with his crew, put kerla for increased crit damage, and mral for bonus attack, you also stack attack officers on lower decks to reach higher bonus damage. Doing this gives you basically around a 40% chance to one shot your opponent. The kinetic gun easily hits for 500k at mid levels and can hit for over 1 million at higher tiers. It eats through the shield and hull in one hit. He's great for hostile hunting because you take little damage as the battles last few rounds, and for pvp as its hard to come back from a 250k-500k damage spike after mitigation. If you're lucky enough to have Harrison, he becomes even more ludicrous, further ensuring your death in the first round of combat.

raw axle Jul 26, 2019, 9:45 AM

#

Plus hull breach seems to add extra damage to crits, although that will be more useful on an explorer or other ships that fires at a better rate

#

with Vakhlas or Franklin for example you're looking at (potentially) 8 higher damage crits, no matter which round he procs

fiery warren Jul 26, 2019, 1:32 PM

#

@boreal canyon Saladin guns are energy

boreal canyon Jul 26, 2019, 2:25 PM

They are labeled incorrectly. Kerla affects the damage of gun one, and his ability increases kinetic crit damage.

@brittle wyvern I've seen people use it on kumari, so it's ok. Personally I use the same as you, except I use cadet spock instead of kirk. Usually try to strike a a balance on the lower decks.

Difficulty to reward on mining leaderboard is absolutely perfectly idealy broken.

You can get to top 50 mining like mad man. It grants 8uncommons. You can get to top 20 aaaand you get 2 uncommons more but it requires sweeping your credit card to get to this point. Top ten is insanity and grands whopping... 12 uc. Its.. Um... Not worth the efford to get higher than top 50 at all. And getting to top 20 is crazy difficult. Mining all the time with horizon, and envoy, second envoy changing miners so no hits for loot and when IDLE and free spot avail, its mining too. And barely in top 50

@prime gulch #AnecdotesForTheMarketResearchFile

All due respect to the devs, when my nearby electronics store has a promotion "Spend $500 and get a 2% rebate", I think "Lol, they have no idea how to market their products, and they must think I am really dumb if they will spend money on advertising for this rebate." These global domination events and rebates are counter productive marketing tools for the in-game store. Sure, they create resource-pressure which can drive revenue, but to any consequential, paying consumer, calculating the profitability of "winning" these events consumes more of the precious enjoyment-capital of this game than they are worth. TLDR: Pay2Win isn't a sound business model in boring games.

I want this game to succeed, and I think you are a good community manager. Just wanted to offer an opinion.

I thought events were supposed to drive player engagement and activity... which therefore leads to increased spending. Separatists and Faction events come to mind.

Any chance you could choose the Augment Hijacked ships you like. I am Federation and Augments Factions. I was offered the D3 but just got the Salidin Interceptor. I really wanted the Legionary Battleship or a second Mayflower but did not get the choice.
If offered, I would have bought one of these. How do they choose the ship to offer??

vagrant topaz Aug 1, 2019, 5:46 PM

Wait...you have a payflower and want another? Your nurse needs to up your meds #payflowersucks

unkempt shore Aug 1, 2019, 9:24 PM

#

Some of us didn't get any hijacked ships offered so I really dont think there is any rhyme or reason much less logic to it.

livid owl Aug 1, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

I got 0 hijacked offered

#

There does not seem to be rhyme or reason

#

I'm 6 million ish fed and Klingon. I have d3 but no flower

#

I would not have bought hijacked flower if I could, but just saying you would think.id be offerdd

@vagrant topaz at tier 7 it doesn’t suck 😉

vagrant topaz Aug 2, 2019, 3:39 PM

Still sucks at hostile farming, it gets ok at pvp and hostile npc's at t7 but it still sucks at what should've been it's main job, farming klingons for rep...

@prime gulch why no tritanium as rewards for the event?
Can't we at least get enough to cover our repair costs?

Yyyy they lower the prizes again??

boreal canyon Aug 2, 2019, 4:14 PM

@whole notch remember the solo dominion event you just completed that awarded millions of trit? There ya go.

#

<@&509690795536941056> everyone is my alliance is very happy with these awesome rewards, ty for taking a step back in the right direction 🖖

whole notch Aug 2, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

That only works if they tell you in advance what events are coming so you don't spend it on other things

#

Agree the rewards are getting better, just asking for some balance to them

boreal canyon Aug 2, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

@whole notch maybe you should plan ahead yourself and see what event comes next before blowing it. It's not their fault you spent it. Sure they could communicate better but you kinda should know by now that they don't.

wooden quarry Aug 2, 2019, 6:06 PM

Throw in some unreliable shields, mixed w Salads that can one shot your base... sure, I’ll hoard a stash of trit just to wait and see what event is on the horizon

grave nacelle Aug 2, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

DEAR SCOPLEY Im wondering whoever designing these events if he/she knows average player's power and capability. I couldnt finish franklin event and now Battle for glory event with same logic. Im suppose to kill 1600 hostile lvl28-29 or 266 hostiles lvl31 or 80 hostiles lvl32 . my most powerfull ship 280k . after i kill 5-7 lvl32 it requires 3 hrs repair. lets say i decided to kill lvl28 if each kill take 20sec 1600 kill will take about 9 hrs, if u add3 hr repair time for every 100-150 kills , with any scenario its impossble to reach goal and finish event in given time.

raw axle Aug 2, 2019, 8:32 PM

#

@grave nacelle why do you consider yourself to have an 'average player power'? Let me guess you only have a T5 Kumari as your strongest ship and you use some variation of Romulan crew to kill faction explorers?

grave nacelle Aug 2, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

yes , I have those and i consoder myself average player who is playing for 9months non stop everyday , without paying money . And ? who are you? scopley employee?

raw axle Aug 2, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

Lol nope not an employee, just another player who wants to help...

#

Ideally at 28 you should have a faction ship to be able to complete events 'easily' but even with just your Kumari you can probably double up the amount of kills per repair

grave nacelle Aug 2, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

I want to hear from them if Im doin something wrong or this is streategy issue and im missing somthing? or if events designed for only paying customers , then they need to say that on event description so we dont waste our time.

raw axle Aug 2, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

Well if you want to hear from them you can try contacting support as the best option, but they don't usually help tell you about strategy... that's part of what the community is for

grave nacelle Aug 2, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

its not seems possible, im lv29 I have saladdin around 285k with some romulan officers with interceptor bonuses , Im only attacking battlesship hostiles which intercepto has advantage but still cant kill so many in short time and its repair time about 3hr 45min

raw axle Aug 2, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

Go there, put cadet uhura as captain with Chen and instr. Spock and try to kill the lvl32 battleships

#

See if you can do it in 1 round

#

If not then you might want to try increasing damage for example by using instr. Spock as captain

grave nacelle Aug 2, 2019, 9:16 PM

thanks i will try that in few hrs ,

Dear scopely. Why are the rewards from finishing 4th in the burst event more appealing than finishing higher?

@hasty hemlock They're not, rares are far harder to get than uncommons, the rewards are fine. What's not fine is that only 5 alliances get any reward at all. Literally no incentive for more than a 5-8 alliances to even attempt competing.

hasty hemlock Aug 3, 2019, 3:22 AM

#

And yet I need 1600 uncommons and 50 rares

#

So no, for me the uncommon are a substantially better reward

mild glacier Aug 3, 2019, 3:26 AM

#

The allaince leaderboard needs to be tiered. The event itself awards higher level players more trophies, and the more powerful alliances have more higher level players. It's heavily unbalanced, just like so many other things in this game. Leaderboards should be a competition, not a free lunch for the rich.

#

and while we're at it: FIX THE SPAWNS!!! Every time you have an event like this it takes less than an hour for every system in the game to be completely depleted of the 20 point hostiles and that situation is persistent long past the end of the event. There are also multiple daily kill missions and those hostiles are perpetually depleted as well. hostile hunting is the most active thing most players in the game do, when they can't find what they want to hunt they get frustrated. When they get frustrated they stop playing. when they stop playing the stop paying. FIx it!

raven sluice Aug 3, 2019, 4:37 AM

Don’t you guys think that starting burst in middle of night is idiotic ??

dusky sleet Aug 3, 2019, 5:00 AM

kindly change burst events name to "who has spent more money on game" or fkk you mid-low levels and your alliances.

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

<@&509691205798592532> would you pass the word along, if they run the battle for glory events to please add some level 34s of explorers in romulan space? there are only interceptors and battleships of those levels and the few 34 interceptors aren't even romulan faction so no faction points gained/loss as they are gorn marauders.

#

bad enough level 30 players only get 1 point for level 30 and 31 ships, 2 points for 32, 6 points for 33 then 20 points for 34+

gilded edge Aug 3, 2019, 6:40 AM

#

dont hunt interceptors but something else then ?

#

I have the same issue, but I simply pick something else to kill then, a different type, for example battle ship/explorer

#

yes, might be harder to accomplish, but you can

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

my best ship is kumari. i have to repair explorer more often. can get more kills out of kumari and every faction space should have at least one of each type ship of each level.

gilded edge Aug 3, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

I am level 24 and need to kill 27's with my ns

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 6:42 AM

especially with events like this and its scoring

#

level 30 is 34+ for the 20 points.

gilded edge Aug 3, 2019, 6:43 AM

unfortunately there is only 2 lvl 34 systems in rom space, one is 32 warp. kaisu (33) has all battleships, Argentomea is all inteceptors and survey ships.

no faction ship?

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 6:51 AM

and i never upgraded the kehra past tier 4 because of uncommons and takes at least to tier 6+ before it gets decent in these levels.

#

nope, not dishing out the money for half the bps needed for a faction shi[p

#

i got 15 legionary bp from event 3 months ago and it hasn't returned. not paying $200 for a faction ship

hasty hemlock Aug 3, 2019, 6:52 AM

yea but you should be close to the lvl 28 ships by now from faction tokens, no?

im assuming your vahk needs scotty to reach the level 34 system?

problem is there are no level 34 explorer class ships in romulan space

how much damage from each weapon does your vahk do turn 1 of combat?

and scotty right now to reach teh one with the mix of interceptors and battleships in Aesir

who is your third officer ?

cadet scotty for the warp

to reach the system

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 6:58 AM

#

exactly

hasty hemlock Aug 3, 2019, 6:58 AM

on your kumari, keep harrison where he is, put blue bones as captain, put grace chen third slot

take it to Azati lvl 34

(its right next to thama)

#

and you should have much better success

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 6:58 AM

k, swapping them out

gilded edge Aug 3, 2019, 6:58 AM

3 systems left of vendus a if I am not mistaken

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 6:59 AM

yeah i was going there before

#

but point is to get some faction rep

hasty hemlock Aug 3, 2019, 6:59 AM

#

siioux is an option for the kumari too

#

in fed space

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 6:59 AM

#

can;t do that as there are only interceptors, battleships and survey ships of level 33-34

gilded edge Aug 3, 2019, 6:59 AM

#

well, hence why I am only after klingons in my faction battles

#

but the romulan reputation event also screws things up 😛

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 7:00 AM

#

well i was trying to get more of a klingon rep boost and not minding the rep loss for romulan as it helped decrese my daily faction task for npcs

#

i stopped doing the daily romulan event for that reason

hasty hemlock Aug 3, 2019, 7:01 AM

#

thats fair

#

but id say the top milestone is worth sacrificing some of your rep grind

#

ok so I tested cuhura ckirk chen with my kumari, looking like i can get 5 lvl 34 fed explorers down per repair, mine is a full teir lower than yours. harrison also should make a big difference for you

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 7:05 AM

#

oh and another reason i've not bought the pack for the centurion, it's only 34 bp, i have 32 already but need 100 total, so spending $200 and to still be shy 2 bp.... definitely not worth the money for me

#

Cool beans! Good luck

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

thanks RK

#

and @gilded edge i know there is some randomness from spawns but i've found most times killing the lowest levels in the system will spawn the level above the system ships.

#

kind of like a ladder in a way

#

so if i kill levels 30s in a system that is full of them, the 32s spawn. killing the 32s spawn the 31s... most times

#

i prefer to be efficient but sometimes have to clear the trash to get my objective level ships needed

#

@hasty hemlock that setup does work better so far on the kumari for this in Azati. killed 2x 34s and 35 and still have just overhalf a hull.

hasty hemlock Aug 3, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

nice

#

try to avoid the 35s

#

the higher level the less effective harrison is

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 7:20 AM

#

yeah, unfortunately there were only 2 level 34s. all the rest are 35s, so i have to kill some of them. lol

hasty hemlock Aug 3, 2019, 7:20 AM

#

lol fair enough

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 7:20 AM

managed 2 of each before recalling for repair with 29k hull left

save yourself some time, just kerplode

lol, did and relocated closer to azati for now

hasty hemlock Aug 3, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

also you can try cadet spock or cadet kirk over harrison

#

sorry, cadet uhura captain, cadet kirk or spock

#

instead of using the vahklas entirely

placid bear Aug 3, 2019, 7:27 AM

#

yeah i'm parking the vahklas as I only need 8 more lvl 34+ to finish now

hasty hemlock Aug 3, 2019, 7:28 AM

#

yea i think thats the play, the kumari doesnt have enough punch to make full use of harrison on those level hostiles

proven delta Aug 3, 2019, 9:15 AM

#

Im sorry but these events are pointless. no lower level player has a chance of winning when you are up against people who spend masses on this game. Also when your targets are stupidly high its pointless. I cannot kill level 30s at 26, to get the top prize by killing level 29s would have to kill 334 of them. given i can take out 4 maybe 5 before repairs would take me masses of time to do this. ok i could also hit level 28s and kill maybe 12 a time but that just means need to kill 1000 of them. so regardless its too much time to do it.

@proven delta I am F2P player and I can finish the event with one trip and half of my kum's hull remaining at lvl 25

You just lvled up too fast without upgrading your ships

try to focus onto battleship researchs, they give a significant boost to kumari

wooden quarry Aug 3, 2019, 1:52 PM

Yea... lvl 26 myself. 250k Kumari is absolutely necessary to compete/complete these events. If yours is still mid 100’s, that’s a significant mismatch of strength.

i'm lvl 24, with my 230k kumari can easily kill 45 lvl 29 explorers in a single run (900 points archieved for top tier)

Burst events are now completely out of ballance as the only way to win is have several players with high level franklins hitting swarm, which is only achievable for those who spent on it during the swarm event

we're #7 in our server and come in at that rank virtually every time. alliance power ranking exactly matches event ranking for all the top 10.

#

During burst events,it mostly about who has more higher players online at a specific time

mild glacier Aug 4, 2019, 8:26 AM

#

and the devs in their benevolent wisdom only give rewards to the top 5, who are almost exclusively whales.

#

one event only had top 3, that was a joke.

#

It's all about high level players, there's no scaling or sense of competition whatsoever.

#

it makes for a very boring game. you'll never advance because the devs wont let you.

#

unless of course you're willing to part with the $$$$$$$$$$$$

#

You don't really earn much in this game unless you've already paid for it, at which point you don't really need to earn it anymore cuz you've already gotten it. It's ridiculous planning to say the least.

raw axle Aug 4, 2019, 8:35 AM

@mild glacier it was top 3, now top 5 which is a step in the right direction it just needs some balancing to overcome the franklin/swarm issue

T5 is good.But they should change the amount of points received from swarms and sep bosses

raw axle Aug 4, 2019, 8:36 AM

In previous events even 24+ with a Kumari and a burning crew had a chance to help the alliance, now it's pointless

Yep, now it's max Franklin or bust.

raw axle Aug 4, 2019, 8:38 AM

#

Well with my sally I can score a decent amount of points to help, but no way anyone below 26 with a faction ship can do anything

#

I could have probably done around 50-60M by non stop playing for an hour

But it's a drop compared to what you could do with a franklin

I honestly didn't think many people would catch on to the swarm thing, most went straight to the bosses. It only took a few minutes though before someone did some experimenting and found out how many points swarms gave. I was hoping that would give us a short lead in time for an advantage, but even with virtually everyone hunting that lead disappeared the minute others jumped on swarms.

#

It IS nice however that at least with swarms lower level players can contribute at least a little. the seperatists are virtually impossible for many low to mid level players.

#

The mid level players would usually just hit normal npcs

#

It's now even more insignificant

#

the point multiplier still applies to separatist boss damage, at least the fly text indicates it does

raw axle Aug 4, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

The fly text counts your entire alliance points

chrome stump Aug 4, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

correct and it displays how much your kill adds to it

raw axle Aug 4, 2019, 4:50 PM

#

Nope, how much your alliance kills added to it since the last kill

Scopely, the timing on the burst events does not seem to take real life into consideration. This morning's was an absolutely atrocious time for the central time zone, and even worse for west coast players.

<@&509691205798592532> I know this has been said and resaid but what possible reasons could Scopely have for not letting us know what’s coming up event wise? Most other games tell players in advance of events. I for the life of me cannot see any positive reason to withhold it from the community and only tell people right before the event starts. Some people might actually want to plan their ingame time around that encouraging more participation which would be a win for scopely. I’m just looking for any reason given as to why this isn’t available and is constantly being withheld from the community.

It was perfect for us in Europe @verbal herald ;)

#

I wish they could do them with better geographic alignment as the 1st one was at 2am

bronze dune Aug 4, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

I agree

verbal herald Aug 4, 2019, 8:17 PM

#

@raw axle I never figured that Europe would have the exact same burst event times. 🙄

raw axle Aug 4, 2019, 8:18 PM

#

Right @verbal herald ?

#

@coarse sentinel i wish I had an answer for you. I too would find it very helpful.

coarse sentinel Aug 4, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

What would it take to get Scopely to provide a response?

#

This is one that they owe the community to either say its coming or no we can pound sand

#

coarse sentinel Aug 4, 2019, 8:36 PM

#

Understood but someone at Scopely needs to respond or we are all just screaming into the wind.

#

Tell us it’s on the roadmap and I’ll be fine with that

#

But recognize that it’s unreasonable and quite frankly deceptive to not allow more notice of these events. I find them as a matter of happenstance logging into the game and checking

Panic's our go-to guy and it seems his hands are tied on the subject. As such, I don't believe continued requests for a calendar will aid the effort anymore.
Due to both you and ourselves, they're very much aware of the demand and as such, it's now a matter of waiting and seeing what happens.

#

I can't speak for any reasoning behind the decision as it stands now but I trust there are people in place that do. It's in their best interest to ensure people are as happy as possible because that is their bread after all.

#

And I’m not beating up on anyone here. But in any organization where services are provided in exchange for money, there is usually a path of escalation

vagrant topaz Aug 4, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

Escalation has occurred but that does not necessarily entail change.

coarse sentinel Aug 4, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

Fair point but as I say in my business a no today doesn’t mean no tomorrow.

#

Anything you can do to keep this issue front and center as a continual ask would be appreciated

Design, development and marketing elements of the game are set in stone for quarters or even longer periods of time.
I wish it didn't have to be that way but it's a standard for good reason - that being, to plan things ahead and not make ad-hoc changes to said plans.
I'm sure this will be introduced at some stage - and we're doing everything, EVERYTHING to push this specific subject.
Because indeed, as you started with - this has been said and resaid - and honestly then some.

CaptainEpictetus was recently interviewed on the responsibilities of being a moderator, you'll find that video in the #📺-streams-and-videos channel if you'd care for some insights. 😄

I don't always have the time or energy to answer to people in a lengthy fashion such as this, which people quickly view as us not taking these subjects seriously, but we do. We so absolutely do.
So I hope this has instilled some trust on the subject but again, time will tell and further patience is needed. 😅

coarse sentinel Aug 4, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

I’ll put it this way. The way events are handled is akin to “word of mouth”. Someone sees something and then broadcasts that to their network. That’s wrong. It’s unfair and deceptive because it means there is a competitive advantage where none should exist.

#

I saw the interview with Rev and that’s why I understand as volunteers your roles are often times selfless and I have to take a moment and thank you all for your selfless efforts making up for deficiencies presented in Scopelys business model

vagrant topaz Aug 4, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

On that first bit I want to say, it also forms tighter connections amongst each other as players and drives people to design tools of their own to improve the overall experience for everyone.
So I wouldn't call that unfair or deceptive - just different and personally not something I experience or have experienced - but perhaps that's because I'm a bit of a social creature and got into a nice alliance pretty quick.

And thanks a lot for saying that, I'll just snip that bit real quick and share it in the mod-channel to ensure everyone sees. Glad his video gave some proper insights. 😄

coarse sentinel Aug 4, 2019, 8:59 PM

Thanks for that. Please pass along that Scopely should take notice because I personally think it violates the spirit of he FTC Act and while there may not be civil liabilities or penalties it is in Scopely’s best interest to make an effort here to avoid any potential FTC investigation into business practices that are unfair and deceptive to the population of players as a whole. I agree mmo’s form communities but that doesn’t remove Scopely’s responsibilities here. I’ll submit an ingame ticket as well but really this shouldn’t be an issue and Scopely is tempting fate by making it one.

#

The state of California already legislates far more than other states. Does Scopely really want regulatory agencies involved given the fact that $100M in revenue and $1B in lifetime is at stake?
