Hello all, anyone a idea how i can kill with ops40 the 40-43 hostiles for the event? All are veterans or over 4m😡

@vagrant topaz same reason why officers don't get any xp, you gotta spend those resources. It's all about money. you can buy those resources, that's why.
vagrant topaz
Except officer Xp isn’t automatically applied during battle and is handed out like candy. Trying to hit that sweet to apply ship xp for an event is a pita
short gyro
@vagrant topaz you find every l 40
You can and you kill it. Probably in dark space and probably with your ent. To give you a clue the Glory Event took me 5 hours solid at just one point per kill for a 40 and 2 if I could find a 41. 42s so thin on the ground as to be irrelevant. And 43s were out of reach at the start of the event. I can never bring myself to count the repair costs and speed ups. Don’t use your jelly unless it’s way stronger than mine. Unless you have many billions of trit. I spent 1.2bn in 2 days 😂😂
Or join Qu. And we’ll help 😏
orchid sail
Scopely, where is the bonus refinery for 4*?!
winged axle
1 min I need to ask from someone
winged axle
I think it is for lvl40+ players but not sure yet
orchid sail
seems other 39 players on our server dont have it either. very disappointing if thats the case.
@short gyro is the regular refinery any better at 40? its abysmal at 39
winged axle
It is lvl40 for bonus 4g
orchid sail
ok, thanks batman
short gyro
@orchid sail I haven’t upgraded it yet. Normally the first thing I do. I think I still need steel. So much of it it’s kaughable😂
But I have seen no change since ops 40.
open otter
Probably requires the upgrade
night grail
Just curious the last couple of call to arms events had mining latinum included with mining materials this time it's not but yet for latinum rush still have the materials listed to mine,,,, then the other thing for solo ranking event has g4* materials listed when those can only be mined by higher level players.. I thought they had finally had solo ranking events fixed where you were competing against same range of players
slender jay
Thanks for the guys in charge. Bonus refinery is valued and has gotten the alliance excited.
supple skiff
Just to let you know, raiding events are great fun! 😄
short gyro
@night grail the group changes at l40. I am in a group of 5. 4 from my competing alliance 😂
Those in l39 will be able to access 4* mines but in my experience relatively few of them will be able to mine them efficiently.
Names removed to protect the innocent. But as youll see frm this, on our server there are only 5 at l 40+. And the mining amounts arent that huge.
potent depot
Double mining event! Just what no one asked for!
plush hedge
Reasonable filler - thoguh I wish the call to arms leaderboard payed out deeper. The rank 5 prize out to be the rank 50 prize...
forest spear
Ok... Seriously. There isn't anyone who says, "You know what we need? More mining!"
Nobody plays a Star Trek game because they like to mine...
Maybe someone in the future could discover capitalism...
river merlin
no one plays a star trek game to blow up miners but i dont hear you complaining about that
rustic jasper
We had a jelly event that offered all the blueprints if we upgraded ops 2 lvls... Does anyone think they will do that same event again soon?
vagrant topaz
Mining events will be a total waste of time until there are enough nodes to actually mine. #scopelysucks
marsh osprey
we have heaps of free ones on our server 😦
@vagrant topaz On LCARS you can search for mines based on your warp range... there may be locations that you have not looked...
mild glacier
This raiding event either needs to be dumped completely or heavily revamped. High level aliances who want to be jerks simply boot one or two of their rich players and raid them to cheat the leaderboard and win without earning it. It happened the first time, it happened the second time, it continues to happen. It's an incredibly badly designed event.
raw axle
doesn't happen on our server... but if it does on yours what's preventing your alliance from doing exactly the same?
frozen lodge
Same top two scores did not reset, again,...
👀
vagrant topaz
solo is 24hrs, alliance is 8hrs
winged axle
@signal tapir it is lvl depended.That player is lvl27.this is what our total rss raided lb looks like
visual wing
Anybody know what’s the next event after reset?
dim whale
@mild glacier - this has happened on our server too from at least one alliance - totally unacceptable, simple solution is if you were part of an alliance up to 24 hours before event points cannot by the alliance from raiding that player. If not event is pointless as it can easily be cheated.
boreal canyon
Faction hunt coming up? Battle for glory just the other day?Call to arms too? You're killing it with these events, keep it up!
viscid phoenix
Would agree that alliances shouldn’t be able to kick then immediately raid one of their own to game the Call To Arms event. Yes, everybody could do it, but not everyone wants to be a cheat. Our relatively small alliance won one of the alliance events and I won the Solo leaderboard yesterday after a day and night of continuous raiding. It was great fun. Alliances who game the event are cheating themselves of that fun as much as anything else
Not that they’ll care about that of course 😂
modern urchin
Faction Hunt. Nice.. Love these for the faction credits and officer xp.
mild glacier
@raw axle respect for our fellow members and a desire to actually earn our victories prevents our alliance from doing it.
eager mist
Anyone know if faction locking at 10 million has been restored?
slender jay
Great events in a row, bonus refinery, raiding event and faction hunt all after each other. Nothing special, but all of these events are very appreciated in our server.
silver briar
Only one day of bonus refinery? Where are the tritanium rewards?!
signal tapir
Bonus refinery was extended another day
silver briar
@signal tapir not on my phone
plush hedge
Thank you for a good event!
vagrant topaz
@silver briar If yours ended today then be advised that today was the second day it was running. You likely missed the first.

Excellent notification as always...

Anyone know whn the nxt Race To Ops20 event will be?

<@&509691205798592532> seriously a big thank you to scopely , the events payback and variety over the last couple of weeks has just been great. final cherry on the cake a weekly swarm event down the corner. 👏
valid phoenix
👍
dim whale
@vagrant topaz - nope I definitely gave a solid thumbs up to the bonus refinery and faction hunt. Raiding event was fun too as it always is (excepting people dropping tags and eating their own)! Little frustrated over timing for faction looks but praise where praise is due!
plain compass
@vagrant topaz can I have a special gift ?
vagrant topaz
Only a virtual hug from Panic @plain compass
slender jay
When the raiding event works, it’s an exciting event. In our server we had one alliance raid their own member in the first one and #1 alliance did a few days war with them. This raiding event was a honest one and 3 or 4 alliances managed to win at least one of the 6 alliance LBs. With many of the events decided in final minutes. This is one event where the 8h leaderboard worked to get different winners.
vagrant topaz
These events worth it, nice to have credits and more gd stuff on em 👏🏻
silver briar
Need more tritanium rewards
autumn patrol
You close the event stores too soon; store should stay open 48 hours after event ends.
plush hedge
join. join. join. join. join. It's great the worst thing I can complain about these events is that I have to remember to opt in every day.
green quartz
...couldn’t help but notice the rewards were nerfed.

Will there be another armada event, or can I stop saving my directives?
kindred mesa
Yes, after the next domination event, which will be after the armada event
raven stratus
@plush hedge I feel you. Spent half an hour killing Klingons today before I realized the points were only showing for the alliance event. 😞

Do the devs even monitor this chat?!

@heavy notch yes

Well i ask bc i asked a question but it was never answered.

@heavy notch they read stuff but rarely answers.What was the question?Maybe I can help

I asked whn the nxt race to Ops20 event will be bc tht's wht i'm waiting of to make the jump to tht lv..

Ah unfortunately there is no event calendar and even if there is one for Devs only,they cant share it unless Scopely allows them @heavy notch

Ok

It's a real shame. We have no chance to advance efficiently without using the events, but we never know what is coming and sometimes can't even make use of the tools we are given.
winged axle
I like surprises 😁
marsh anvil
What happened to all the replicator events? have not seen one in a while and they were fantastic! I'd love to see a different one every 2 weeks!! I'd be spending so many more speedups and resources (raiding to get RSS even) to push through builds, research and ship upgrades to top out the event.
quiet flare
News says new events for lvl 39+. Give me an incentive to go 39. No timer. Mission/event/offer/whatever. No timer, make me want to get lvl 39 events.
winged axle
@quiet flare this is the event
wispy flax
Yaaaay!!! Dominations (said no one ever) 😡
open otter
Lol, one milestone?
feral sun
Two steps forward... one step back. Personally I enjoy events that give us things to do with decent incentives to participate. Player engagement I think it’s called. Domination events make me want to pop a 3 day shield, close the app, play something else, and check back in a few days to see if there is something interesting to do. (Too many Domination type events and I might skip this last part)
soft maple
@winged axle
So, will that let a level 39 player unlock level 40 if you complete the event and, it shows that the epic armada is worth 100 points but, you only need one point according to the reward side.
winged axle
@soft maple if you do the event by using those ships yes will be enough for lvl40 ops
soft maple
Thank @winged axle I appreciate your help. I'm ready to rock then. 😁😁😁
winged axle
Nice 🖖
wise belfry
Does anyone have the January event calendar handy?
minor glen
What calendar ?
wise belfry
You know, the one that pops up when you login sometimes. The event schedule.
I’m wondering if they’ll be running an event alongside domination or if I should just throw up a 7 day bubble.
minor glen
Dunno, they generally only do that for new long term events.
wise belfry
Good to know. I appreciate you Hal.
winged axle
Yeah that is only during big events after big updates
signal tapir
7 day shield? 
signal tapir

slender jay
Well, they got two good events in a row and domination got increased trit rewards.
Domination still isn’t good, but a step in the right direction.
shrewd fjord
Need more par rewards form events now.
I use to be able to build up enough by doing the domination or whatever other events there are. Now there’s no chance.
open otter
That's cute 😍
leaden zealot
Domination event needs to be renamed to BuildYourBaseToWinTritanium.
north kiln
I would like to see biominerals as rewards for the solo milestones on swarm events
open otter
Meh, that'd make it very hard to beat whale alliances in this event this event comes down to who participates and actually does their dailies
vagrant topaz
Domination event is just to fatten up the free players so the pay players have something to steal
open otter
Or if your a free player who likes stealing from everyone 😁
raw axle
yep... there is no requirement of paying to be able to raid 😛
viscid phoenix
@shrewd fjord the worst thing about having to spend that 4.1b parsteel is the fact that the building you have to spend it on is utterly useless.
shrewd fjord
100%
winged bison
Swarm event, lvl 17 hitting lvl 18 swarms do not count in to the leaderboard points. So I can attack only lvl 17?
leaden zealot
You know I have a small pet peeve. This game collects thousands of dollars a day. Does ANYONE know how quality check spelling?
Think we could adjust the font just a. Little?
mild glacier
It's not a typo, the word just extends beyond the items ability to show it.
leaden zealot
It’s a typo.
Whether it exceeds limits or they forgot the D.
It’s a typographical error
mild glacier
ever previewed a document before printing and it looks perfect on one page but when it prints it comes out partially on a second page? that what happened here.
yeah it's an error, but probably not due to lack of checking.
leaden zealot
No one checked it when it went live. Once again, little things like this cause a problem for people like me who spend a few bucks would like to get through it without silly errors like this
mild glacier
I know, i'm giving them more credit than they deserve. with all the other errors going on tho, possible it got noticed but they just don't care to fix it cuz it's not important enough to waste time on.
signal tapir
At least they haven't misspelled Romulans lately
"Romluans"
they fixed that really quickly
raw axle
and as for spelling/grammer/sentences that actually makes sense, there are a lot worse...

Threat From Beyond: Leaderboard, i feel that the lvl spread is a bit too much, at lvl 27, how can i be expected to complete against lvl 33's? Makes you feel that Scopley does not care about keeping the smaller players.

@shy grotto All of our 32-33 players do the heroic killing 32s.

We have a lvl 40 and a lvl 41 on our server. Both were killing lvl 32’s. Struck me as odd.

Why are domination rss rewards not in tokens this time?

Raid shadie legends is why!
robust valley
@prime gulch @versed forum . Could you guys work your magic and please speak with the Devs about sorting the following - when events are on we would like to see the complete list of who has participated and who hasn’t on the events score list- on the MY ALLIANCE MEMBERS option. It’s not to point fingers but it’s so Leaders can see who is contributing to the Alliance and who misses these out every time. This is key information for everyone and we should not have to sit on our laptops with an Excel Spreadsheet to see who is missing from the list. Please get this sorted as it will help all alliances massively 👍🏻
marsh osprey
@robust valley you can see that now ... in the Alliance event, tap on the graph icon then change the drop down to members ...
robust valley
@marsh osprey thanks I put that I can see that, I meant also list people on alliance members who haven’t contributed with a Zero Score
plain compass
<@&509691205798592532> with domination and swarms event running in parallel there are now base with huge amount of Tri, how about a call to arms event jointly with the latinium mining event, this will make a few epic days on many servers.
winged axle
We had call to arms earlier 😶
minor glen
And if you are complaining about too much tri, let me know where you are and I will happily come by to... relieve the problem.
leaden zealot
@robust valley So.... if you have a list of who scored at least 1 point those not listed would be 0.
I, for one, would like it printable without having to screenshot. But that’s for another day when they fix all the rest of the problems that cause a decline in gameplay
slender jay
@leaden zealot Yes, but to see in a 70+ member alliance who has been on a zero now means spending time filling a spreadsheet.

Grinding lat for 24hours cant net you 10m
Good stuff
winged axle
But stealing them can
raw axle
stealing only counts for milestones event doesn't it?
stoic wasp
Stealing counts. And die hard grinding lat and g3.can get u 10mil after 24 hours. Ive done it and won event. But whats the point now. Scopley basically sold us a ship, made an event for it, then made the ship irrel3vant.
covert mica
Mine works? How is it irrelivant?
As for why no tokens as was asked above... cause it is the opinion of LOTS of people, including the developers.. that Raw Materials are needed in the ingame economy to give it a boost and promote gameplay within the mechanics
warped marsh
Man, If you can mine in dark space, you shouldn't be in the same bracket as other level 30 somethings that don't have access to it. Level 38 and above should be with 40s bracket.
stoic wasp
👍
versed forum
if ur really mad at the guy you shouldnt let him mine js, dont give him a chance to mine, Remember mining isnt safe
and dang sure cant be all lat he mined
warped marsh
I'm not mad at the individuals mining nodes that are available to them, I'm mad that Scopely puts them with people that can't get there yet. It's not like mining has always been fair. But you have the opportunity to compete if you buy the special ships. There is no opportunity here because there is no special ship to buy, instead you have to be in a special system since G4 is 20 points. As a level 32 or even level 35, that's just not practical. And it's not the lat being mined. I was mining in Sulliban, the fastest nodes, and they weren't. They weren't in high warp G3 nodes. Yet they blew by me like I was standing still. Only explanation is G4.
robust valley
Scopely must remove the level cap when it comes to mining, nothing more worse than a very low level say 18 mining in G3 level 29 area and sitting there for days even when the node has been zero for 2 days straight. Mining is and should be dangerous, completely removing the level cap will be one of the single best things Scopely could do for its player base 🙏
stoic wasp
@versed forum he mined 4* which lower level players cant get too
Just camps it overniggt each sunday, then bam 10m points as soon as lat event starts
vagrant topaz
Have a higher level player find it and kill it 2mins before the event starts 🤷
stoic wasp
Nice bandaid!
modern urchin
Mining G3 (and g4 for that matter) should be level locked, i.e. unable to mine the nodes until you research one level of a base mining skill
tardy lagoon
Lol. How many months and armadas still isnt fixed? Scopely really needs to hire more than the single very part time intern they currently use.
minor glen
@vagrant topaz it’s what we do
vagrant topaz
We have a level 7 blocking a load of 3* nodes 🤣
And when i say blocking, they have been on the node for weeks. They know what they are doing
hearty thicket
Make G2 mines split for G3 mines ONLY 5% mines G2 um this moment
tardy lagoon
What's up with the officer recruit special pack $99 suddenly being only 4k more lat than the usual recruit pack ($99)? It usually has more ultra and premium recruit credits/tokens whatever, and whatever else it had better.
I bet guys bought and then later realized that the 'special' was almost no better than the usual, and far less special than the special usually is. Tricksy tricksy scopely.
steady ingot
It would be nice if events only had alliances and players going against 20 . Not 4500 players or 150 alliances.
That stopped me from buying in the store. Which needs a big upgrade. The store is passed it time.
cunning meteor
North Star parts really need to be in an event again and for all level 18 on my server you can’t buy parts like you can at present on newer servers
frozen lodge
Dear $copely... Only gameplay you're getting from me today, is by the good graces of my Alliance... At these prices, only thing armada starters pack will stimulate is a "domestic with th missus" not even if it gave me 10 goes, (it don't) it ain't worth that kinda grief... & forget about epics 🤦🏻 sorry, typo, Epic.... Singular🤦🏻 I can buy a complete ships bps for same & DONT... Epic Fail,... unsurprisingly not a single uncom Armada & Rares & epics abound, exhibit a, B, & c

<@&509691205798592532> is the omission of the 'normal' threat from beyond deliberate? I only have heroic and leaderboard
winged axle
Yes we know and asked,waiting for an answer
hybrid rapids
<@&509691205798592532> panic mentioned today that currently stuck armada's and stuck npc's were getting fixed. Are they also going to fix broken mining nodes? could they maybe patch those too please? server 12 has dozens of nodes missing all over the place some of them have been broken since before they added the additional 150ish nodes a while back.
hybrid rapids
Could you guys ask for us 🙂
winged axle
They wont give an ETA,they never do because they dont want the anger if they cant do it in time
But if you already reported that to support then they are working on it

vagrant topaz
To the one that have the power to change things PLEASE do so you can turn of notifications for just armadas
tribal meadow
To be honest the armada events are a waste of time. This caters only for higher level players as they go for armafas out of reach for the rest of the players. Just the same people getting rewards. Think this might be the last straw for me for this game.
radiant kindle
Armadas are a waste of time for high levels.
I don't need BPs for ships I already have.
They were a total fail for alliance leaders too who suddenly had to mediate squabbles between players who bumped.
And yes, fix notifications.
I would like to know when my ship is attacked even if I don't want to know who started an armada 20 times a night.
hollow blade
INCREASE THE RESPAWN RATE FOR ARMADAS. ITS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE
tribal meadow
Agree. Respawn a huge joke. I actually stopped caring in finding any armadad now
full plume
Respawn is total joke guys .... If you want we start 24 armadas, you should even respawn them

Our server, 135 seems to be missing one swarm event. <@&509691205798592532>

potent depot
And less than 4 hours into Armada event, all UNC armadas are gone. Rare and epic, as always, remain untouched... Great balance there
wet vale
Yep. Getting RSI from reloading systems nonstop is not fun or an event. Finding uncommon armadas to start should not be the most challenging part of this event.
arctic cape
Another armada event without armada targets.... lovely...
tired sun
Need more armada targets!!
wooden ledge
Ditto. Armada spawn rate needs a bump!
granite nymph
Could you please offer an option to turn off all armada notifications and push messages. I want to get most push notifications but don’t give a f@&$ about if my group is doing armadas at the moment.
somber token
Give armada credits back if outher group takes it down I started on and on my screen no one had started armada the get it started and then outher group shows up and a 3 min ahead of my time why did they not show up before I started I wouldnt of started it it's not ok to keep them so I have to buy more
sharp token
Scopely, if you're not going to increase the number of, or the respawn rates of armadas drastically, then stop running armada events, it's so stupid, like even from a money point of view, how can you guys expect to sell many armada packs when there are no armadas available to even do?
it should honestly be a no brainer
iron python
@sharp token - the mod team has relayed this concern
mighty sluice
@prime gulch if you want us to pay between 50 to 100 bucks for armada token, you either need to refund them if the attack doesnt go off. Cause it sucks to have some power tripping guild come in and destroy all your ships and force a fail armada.
Either make ships unattainable when they are joined to a armada, or refund the tokens
compact bluff
Because scopely expects us to fight over the few armadas that spawn and waste each other's directives as well as drain rss and repairs
It's all planned to screw us over, and make us screw each other over
feral sun
What a waste of an event. No armadas to speak of... means no player participation. What’s the point?
I mean, the bottleneck is already the directives, which Scopely would presumably like to sell packs of, so why create another bottleneck in the spawn rate?
slender jay
With all of the lag going on, I can see a ton of wasted credits by multiple alliances starting the same armadas. Our alliance has started 3 by accident when the other alliance armada just hasn't been shown.
plain compass
<@&509691205798592532> is it normal that today there is only 1 of the 2 milsteone event on swarms ? the 75 point any level swarm has disappeared
plain compass
cool thanks a pity will be missing these 2 khan shards
warped marsh
Great armada event when there are no freaking uncommon Armadas to launch... I'm launching Armadas that are 36 million in strength and not sending a ship. All because I need the launch credit. I refuse to search for 15 to 30 minutes to find one to launch. Respawn rate needs to be increased specifically during events.
tiny prawn
@feral sun to fill time up cause that don’t want to provide any other events besides armada & mining
vagrant topaz
What’s the point of armada events if the targets all take forever to regenerate, and directives don’t drop more often during the event? At least speed up the regen rates during the event because only a fool will spend $$ for directives when there aren’t any targets to use them on.
vagrant topaz
A button to enable the armada leader kick people out of the armada would be a cool and welcome addition.
barren shore
Or a private/public toggle switch
dull scarab
Armadas need to be more inclusive so alliance members don't feel left out, especially since they were touted as being for alliances. A maximum of 6 is way way too small for many larger alliances and it becomes difficult to include smaller members in Armadas where every bit of power is needed to triumph.
We know Armadas can track all people who join thru the Standby window, so why don't we give everyone who shows up a bit of a reward for taking place? Lore wise they could be considered the guard ships for the main battleships of the leaders.
At least give those people in standby some credits so they feel like they are partaking in these Armadas. It doesn't have to be a lot, but at least its something for people. As it stands, its a terrible system that breeds angst and hardships in alliances, rather than forging a greater team spirit.
Instead focus on making people WANT to play and use Armadas daily.
barren shore
Or take turns or organize it like we do...
dull scarab
We do, but it would still make it easier to have more people actively participating. Better question would be why you don't want more people getting rewards and taking place in Armadas?
Rather than a level 24 getting in on one Armada every few hours, they could routinely join as many as they want. I don't see how that's a bad thing at all. Especially since this game is bleeding players like crazy.
barren shore
It would also mean less tokens for the leader of the armada thus making it more difficult to gain enough for the packs (as selfish as it may sound) people want enough for themselves to make it worth the trouble
dull scarab
Make a secondary credit pool for the Standby group than
barren shore
All in all it would be the same amount of tokens earned if 6 players played one armada and rotated with another 5 players and 11 players doing 2 armadas
dull scarab
Again, I'm not saying give Standby players tons of credits, but even 5-10 on a Rare or Epic would make smaller members feel like they are taking part.
barren shore
Hmm would you want a few tokens at the destruction of your shirt versus a couple hundred+your ship destroyed
iron python
My alliance "calls" a spot. Only those with a called seat show up. It tends to prevent hurt feelings unless you're a really slow typer.
dull scarab
I think most players don't mind their ships dying at Armadas. We run 33 Epics and 35 Rares regularly, its hard to get a smaller player in unless we have both of our larger players on at the same time (39 and a 40). We also do the "call out" system, that works fine for Uncommons, but not for the harder Rares and Epics...which people want to take part in.
barren shore
Ship not shirt 🤣🤣🤣
iron python
I assumed you meant red shirt. Same difference. 😏
dull scarab
We've lost a couple alliance members in the last few days because of these Armadas and simply not being able to rotate them in if we want to successfully beat them. And we can't run smaller Rares/Epics as the rewards for them are terrible and not worth the cost of the directives.
barren shore
Our dibs is just "omw" quick and easy
I have a rule in our allisnce where they are allowed to make invite only on their armadas, so if a smaller player wants to make an arnada for his "peers" he can say lvl x - y only and all have to respect that
iron python
We run ones for smaller guys. Normally, we state, "1 seat left: x, y, z reserved"
Then first call gets last spot
dull scarab
Yeah, ours is the same. We either have preformed groups for harder Armadas and the "omw" system for open Armadas
barren shore
Yea it sucks when you can't help everyone but it happens
dull scarab
@iron python uncommons or rares/epics? We run Uncommons regularly for smaller members, but its hard to convince players spending money on these Rare/Epic directives to not want to maximize their returns by doing the hardest ones possible, which require the strongest alliance members
I would just like to see a way to include more alliance members for Armadas, its especially bad during these events where even finding Uncommons becomes a challenge. Its leading to hurt feelings and people quitting, which I can't imagine is what Scopely wants from a team activity.
iron python
We also run smaller epics and rares. Smaller being the 2.5-2.8m range, not tiny tiny. But it's in our better interest if smaller f2p people participate, pull chests, and grow
We're only as strong as our weakest link.
I do agree about better Armada management tools, though, and it has been mentioned to the team. So hopefully we'll see them at some point.
dull scarab
Hopefully, that's all I want. Our server is dying population wise, so its especially painful when people are leaving over mechanics that we have no control over.
iron python
I will add the idea about expanding some minimal awards to "queue". I see both sides but it's an interesting idea.
dull scarab

Organizing armadas is a chore and there is always people that feel left out. Worthy armadas not spawning, L33 epics will get done within 15 min of spawning when they come. Rewards for rares and epics being certainly not worth the money. Other alliance flags not showing up. Armada events are by far the WORST events that are run - even when the rewards would look decent.
Domination + Swarms was a better event than Domination + Swarms + Armadas. And a lot better than Swarms and Armadas.
Also with all the technical problems with Armadas that result in wasting directives, when customer support has the stance "we are not refunding you shit, our game works perfectly all the time and all the problems might be just occasional display issues" - it really compounds the issues.
shell plinth
@Scopely,
Please make it so I can turn off the armada notifications.
I don't wanna participate in any armadas anymore. They're only good for low ends freemiums who can actually make use of the uncommon armada rewards and for the high enders who can get their ships in the queue and earn the rare/elite rewards. For anyone else like me in between it's complete waste of time and Tritanium.

I actually cant complete the military supremacy event at level 29. I cant make 800 uc crystal in a day to teir anything up, i dont have blueprints to build a cent/sally/bortas.

Strangely, the only thing of note that changed between the last Military Supremacy event and the current one (that I don't have access to), is that I actually have level 26 ships to upgrade this time.
I guess the criteria I needed to meet to participate was 'not being able to participate'?

For the Military Supremacy event, at L27, you have to kill L31 hostiles. Then at L28, you have to kill L36 hostile. 5 levels jump. Ridiculous. Skip that event.

Bonus refinery shoudn't even need a cooldown timer. It ends with the event. Players should get 3 tries in 24 hrs.
Use them when you want
covert mica
I'm starting to think thats the Idea... at lvl 27... your ships SHOULD be able to kill 31s at the min to ops up... at 28... you SHOULD be able to kill 36's... if you cant;t then you need to level your ships...
difference between lvl 26 faction ships and level 28 faction ships... i would assume if a lvl 32 had it they would be pushing them towards killing 39 which is a HUGE power level jump
signal tapir
38s actually. Or I can build/tier up a rare warship.

yeah... thats what i mean... the supremecy event seems geared towards getting people in the right ships at the right levels and power

might not have been the most effective way of communicating that... but that appears to be the premise

first off, if you're going to censor, it needs to be language sensitive, benign words in one language should NOT be censored because they "may" be archaically offensive in another. That being said, the french don't even pronounce the word the same way. They don't pronounce any word properly really. If we are going to censor the words of 6,500 languages just because someone might find one word offensive that the rest of the world is perfectly fine with, we will rapidly lose the ability to communicate. It needs to stop!

If you are gonna do mining events, there should be enough mines for nearly everyone. Dailies cant get done cause all mines are always full. Then you add these events which doubles the problem. It's a waste of time to chase after empty mines all day, and find nothing within your warp areas.

I find it really disappointing that the Alliance Events lately require the collection of trophys rather than points.
When an alliance has to accumulate points, this then enables alliances with smaller member counts to be competitive.
When it is a matter of collecting trophies, the alliance with the higher member count will win. When you have a group of alliances all highly active, the win come down to the size of the memberlist, not the effort of the alliance members.
This change we've seen over the past few months is a change for the worse.

The other events in the Borg Arc at this point do not provide trophies... so.. if 2 alliances all complete the solos 100% .. then the alliance with the higher member count wins. This has been seen over recent events and, quite simply, destroys alliance competition.

Step 1 - Do the BFG missions for Borg points - these collect points for Borg Reconnaissance event
Step 2 - Do these or other Borg missions for days

I'm talking about the structure of Alliance events lately Jess

That has already been relayed.

Alliance Events require the collection of trophies... not the collection of points.
If it has been flagged, so be it. But honestly, it really disincentivises alliance engagement.
solid wharf
Definitely.... base raiding has been slaughtered... the top players in an alliance now become a personal base cracking service which, quite simply isn't fair to them. Alliance Events are the main way for alliances to come together & work together.... the structure of these events has now destroyed that too. Outside inter-alliance war which benefits no-one, the tools alliance leaders have to drive alliance enegagement are becoming significantly limited.

The wait for the borg missions and top borg event reward is no issue. But it is just straight boring that a new content comes by and we literally cannot do anything related to the new content unless we pay. There should had been a quest chain for all to introduce players to this event. and the current borg mission could had been second mission. At least I would had felt a new content has been added to game. All I did was a bfg event.

Borg event seemed exciting at first but I am starting to agree with @tired sun. Kinda disappointing so far... no new content except for a new officer and some pretty badges you can’t even cash in without paying RL $. I sure hope things get more substantial in acts 2 & 3. It would be fun to actually see some Borg ships etc.
signal tapir
It's a pay or grind event. What new ideas do you expect?
Mining, pve, missions, armadas... what else is there?
The grind isn't much more than dailies. You even get some of the same rewards at the end without paying.
Yet people still complain
signal dew
I love the statement @prime gulch said - "all rewards are available for everyone, even F2P players" (paraphase, I dont remember exact quote) - well except these in event store, and some of grind is based from these events (upgrade borg officer - got 5 ultra chests from previous events - how many borg shards? 2. So with that logic I need how much of that stuff in P4F model? 100 ultra chests. Yeee, surely its possible to grind it in 9 days )
To get missions I need 48k points. So, that's 48 000 / 4 200 that I can get daily is... 12 event cycles (aka days). I did 2 event cycles, becouse thats how many I could. Now Im on timer for that mission - 8d 18h. This gives me 8 more event cycles to collect more. Hmmm, let me think... That means its pre-counted that I will fall short of getting missions. Why? Ah, its about buying packs, so I cant get "same as paying players" rewards, obviously. Promote borg officer event is for F2P nonsense too - you can get few shards from main event, and if you get all you can in meantime - still you are short over 30 shards. How you get them? IDK, maybe there is pack for that? Ah, yes, of course there is pack for that.
TL;DR
In my opinion this is carefully engeneered event - to make it seem free to play players friendly, but as it looks now, everything available now, show that everything is made to force player to pay.
As outtro I have only this to say - prove me wrong, or stop spreading missinformation. Thank you.
hybrid marsh
@tired sun the problem is if you do a server wide event like you suggested but only reward top players then only those players have a reason to join. If you do a event as you say it should be equal reward for everyone or no rewards at all.

What about event store?
hybrid marsh
On other MMORPG games iv played they created a daily boss ( exp Borg cube) for whole server to hit. Everyone that participated got a reward and everyone had a chance to get a damage reward as well. Based on the amount of damage done to target by return to hit. I actually one one even though there were bigger players by far. I just made sure to hit more.
That would be cool to see here but if there is no rewards for everyone who joins then no point in joining.
signal tapir
That's a good idea 👆
With extra rewards at different thresholds of damage
pvp would pick up near those rewards
alliance and solo rewards would involve everyone
lament delta
How about an event where if they give you mission keys for a mission... you can actually do the mission.
It makes no sense to level lock this content. Especially since you never said there was a level limit and yet still sell the ability to buy just enough borg pts to unlock a non existant mission. Bait and switch Scopley
vernal isle
@signal dew also, do the math further out, if daily rewards stay the same or similar going forward, there is zero way a player can grind to milestone 10. Getting there requires about 9k borg tokens earned per day for entire event. If your alliance finishes first in this first event you earn 9400 over two days. Now, I grant that there will be short term events going forward that may be more accessible, but even a doable weekly event for 20k tokens next week still puts players behind the needed average. To even complete this event you are likely going to have to buy tokens at the end if you really want the rewards. In the meantime, other than the borg officer stuff, you are better off buying a station pack for better uc mats than what the milestones and premium rewards give you. If you add in the mats from mission event and officer upgrade event and the cost needed to do those, an ultra station pack is the far better and cheaper option.
This whole event seems based around people who have poor statistical analysis skills.

Borg Recon is a 22d event, Imminent Threat is a 8d event that gives +20k pts

It's never reasonable to assume anything beneficial for us from scopely
lament delta
@mild glacier it says recommended. Lvl 23s can access the mission. Plus based on the missions posted, it easily beatable by lower levels than that
The main issue I have is why are keys a payout for lower locked levels. That implies you can access this content now. People are paying $$ for something they can not actually do now. Would you pay $50 for a ship to unlock to then find out that it cant be unlocked because your level is too low?

I think this game is going in the opposite direction that Roddenberry had. In his vision of Star Trek money wasn't the driving force behind things. But this game if you want to participate in these events, Borg, etc. you have to pay up the wazzu...and your first child. When this game started packs started at $5 US now they start at $20...money suckers

The overall presentation and initial communication for this event has been lackluster at best. So many events that seem to cascade into each other, packs to buy without a clear indication of what ones push the main quest. I suppose it's been a good exercise in deduction and community cooperation but it seems like more disconnect between implementation and the users.
IMO the borg don't really have a place here, but if they are going to be part of this game, then where are they? The events have us fighting the same targets over days or weeks before we get to the actual questline? I'm not really being immersed here.
visual berry
So, according to the latest announcement, completing the borg recon is achievable over the next month. That's a lie for those that have to grind it out. A total of 24 days to finish acquiring over 200k points at 4200 points per day makes it totally unachievable.
vernal isle
@tulip yew yeah, but that doesn’t make up the shortfall. You have to average 9k+ daily. An extra 20k in a week doesn’t make up the shortfall. Also, they count the tie ring up the borg officer as part of the normal events by the way they worded things. There is no way to do that free, and even if you someone got lucky pulls every few chests of him, you still need something like 7 badges and hundreds of thousands of nano particles to upgrade him.

What does killing plain jane hostiles have to do with borgs? Like why couldnt we have systems with borg cubes that came to selected systems and borg spheers that come out them and we have to eliminate them, its always the same game play for every event its nice to change things up or how about masive borg cube armadas where you need tokens to and so many members to take it out also borgs are from next generation be nice to see those officers too .
slender jay
Seems like this event divided in 3 parts and 3 months is just giving us 1/3 of an event a month, but drumming it up to be the biggest ever.
Augments at least had a new area, new ship AND 6 officers, Borgs get 1 officer.
I also thought you can’t communicate much less clearly than Swarms event, but it seems like swarms were a very clear one
leaden zealot
I’m personally curious as to this new “clarification” Now that this event is as clear as mud perhaps we can get some common sense answer as to how this event, mathematically works for those in my alliance under level 28?
There just is no way for them to get to the top prize.

Blatant lying is the problem and thinness of content.

Domination event is NOT an event and is definitely not free to play

Borg event battle for glory has gone missing. So much for that being a monthly

Never been so confussed in my gaming life than with this new borg update WTF make it simple.... it aint its confussing... how about your faction ie starfleet contacts you and you fly of somewere to start all the missions... instead of trying at the same time to empty the old wallet
vagrant topaz
@upper orchid monthly just means it occurs every month not that it lasts a month...😂
carmine yarrow
So at 4200/day it would take over 53 days to complete Borg Recon, and that's if you don't get the bug where you don't get credit for tier 2 of an event and come up 840 pts short for the day which good ol' Scopely still hasn't fixed or addressed.

If you do today's domination you get 9k points

I find the ranking events really hard when you reach lvl 28. You mess with every player that is lvk 28 +. I think the lower lvls have no chance to win this events. Until ovl 27 ther were always only 2 lvls in competition. Y dies this change with 28?
rancid portal
Can’t redeem the 1m Dilithium token I earned in the borg events (ms5). This is unacceptable and deceptive as I paid cash for the ability to win the event. I want what I paid for.
iron python
@rancid portal - can you DM your playerID please?

@scarlet moth - it's been escalated already. So far, though, players ops 32 and above seem to have that redemption option. It may be level based, but we are validating.

@past fossil There also seems to be an issue with Lat and g4 not being counted. Most players have thier surveys loading up lat for big drop for tomorrows event. Doesn't leave much room for a g3 focused event today.
orchid sail
Why is G4 materials omitted from the miner alliance event?
lapis crag
@orchid sail exactly and lat as well.
past fossil
Lat never counted on his particular one if memory serves. Was G4 on the alliance points last week or how ever long ago it was on?
orchid sail
Lat i can understsnd, it’s not a latinum event
@past fossil cant remember. seems odd it is in the solo but not the alliance event tho
lapis crag
I apolgise if this sounds abrupt but the lat event starts for those who are serious the Sunday night before.
past fossil
Right, but the Mega Miner has never had Lat attached to it. Lat event is specific
G4 I’m unsure about if omitted on purpose or an oversight because this Mega miner did run like 7-10 days ago and G4 was on one ? But don’t know if it was on alliance one too
lapis crag
We drop surveys full of lat at the event start... Its common practice. So the event not including lat doesn't exactly flow for many of us.
I get that Kaution and appreciate it.
past fossil
It’s likely the Lat event will just go ahead as normal - this is not a related event
Don’t know how many times I can say it
We have had the Latinum events run alongside Mega miner before without the Mega miner having Lat give points 🙂
** Please check your Chests for a Gift of Borg Points **
lapis crag
Again appreciate all of that. It simply changes the dynamic of the lat event. Finding most players aren't happy with the notion of dumping the lat and g4 they have been mining for tomorrow night is all. Many feel they have to compete in one event or the other. Thanks for hearing me out. Appreciate it.
wanton schooner
Glad to see scopely resolving the issues quickly this time. Good job!
kindred aurora
Yep, quickly sorted so no one gets put out by completing an event and getting the same points as those who didn't 👍
sharp token
@past fossil well, what's the point of having latinum rush, a latinum focused event, when you have mega miner side by side, that doesn't give points for latinum, and mega miner requires more points
so you might as well not bother with mining latinum at all
it doesn't even make sense, it's like scopely are actively wanting to prevent people buying the dvor
past fossil
You can get through the Latinum Rush event quicker with Faction miners over Latinum mining
Most players have one Dvor, that leaves a Minimum of another 2/3 Docks free to be mining G3 which counts towards both
sharp token
that's only making my point even stronger though
past fossil
Not really, Latinum will speed up the Rush by a bit if you’ve got a good Dvor
But your G3 miners will be contributing to both
And usually do the heavy lifting for points
sharp token
but you don't need to speed up the latinum rush, there is 0 point if mega miner is going side by side
no reason to mine latinum at all
mega miner requires more points lol
past fossil
Right so the point is it doesn’t really matter when Mega Miner is running side by side anyway ?
sharp token
sure it does, it's a LOT easier to get a latinum node than it is g3
past fossil
They are separate events, they don’t always run side by side
That’s different server to server
sharp token
you're totally missing the point
past fossil
I believe you are personally
lapis crag
Not sure about other servers but we are very competitive with loading horizons full of lat and faction miners with g4 for the start of the event. Usually placed a full day or more in advance. If you don't do this on our server you don't place in the lat event.
sharp token
any populated server, will have basically no g3 nodes open during these events
it's hard enough day to day on most servers, let alone during a mining event
past fossil
Any competent player can hold nodes for days or weeks if your server had some form of roe is just pre planning like @lapis crag experiences too
sharp token
that's not really the point though, who wants to be holding nodes all day every day?
there are other events that need to get done
dailies that need to get done
i sometimes have to search for hours for an open node, even without the mining events
with ships in 4 mining systems so i can grab something quick even
lapis crag
My alliance owns Suliban on our server. We always have surveys on the nodes around the clock.
past fossil
You can safely assume Latinum rush is going to happen every Monday unless cancelled and announced for some reason. That’s why people pre plan.. you can run a Dvor or several G3 miners on nodes early enough
Just because mega Miner hits... it means you must have Latinum count to it ?
sharp token
but again, there is 0 reason to even bother with the latinum
lapis crag
It's a requirement to be the top mining alliance on our server.
past fossil
Why have Mega Miner special at all if all mining should just be Latinum rush event
sharp token
this is not a one-time thing, it's happened multiple times
even if mega miner gave just 10 points in the mega miner, instead of 20 it gets in latinum rush, it would at least not goto complete waste
past fossil
I can suggest it. It’s fine.. but I dont have faith it’ll get traction as then you just homogenise the mining event ?
I disagree with you personally but I don’t think it’s a bad suggestion
sharp token
you must not play on a very populated server then honestly
past fossil
Our server is about average. But highly active
sharp token
it's a complete headache to mine g3 during mining events of any kind
past fossil
I can find nodes if I put the effort in, but I can goto higher warps at 36
sharp token
either you follow roe, and don't get a node for hours potentially, or you attack people not overcap or zero, and be constantly attacked as well
lapis crag
In interest of constructive feedback, I would suggest that mega miner not run next to or in parallel to the lat event. Midweek or just after would be great.
sharp token
not everyone has ships that can get to warp 40 zones
past fossil
I don’t know why Mega Miner is running personally 😅
sharp token
i'm trying to be constructive, i'm personally just tired of doing any sort of mining event because there are not enough g3 nodes to go around, if it wasn't for that, i wouldn't even care about mega miner not getting points from latinum
past fossil
I’d much rather Swarm events have the points or Lat rush ran two days straight
Mega miner rewards suck vs Lat rush 😛
lapis crag
Same here
sharp token
at least with latinum, there are lots of nodes available
past fossil
I can agree with that point they Lat nodes are little more accessible
However the night before Lat Monday all are occupied with terrible slow miners some holding 3 in same system
Sucks when you miss out and wanna get Dvor in
Mostly because the warp on the thing sucks really bad so it’s the same systems
Obviously depends server to server but there’s no way to remove a Horizon on a lat node on my server 😣
lapis crag
Same agreements on our server Kaution
sharp token
and i'm not complaining just to complain, i generally complete every solo milestone event, even mining ones, it's just that it's so time consuming, especially when you have people who don't follow roe and just want power destroyed, but even if not dealing with that, it can be tiring just finding nodes and refreshing them all day, to the point where i got 0 points on the last mining event, because i got fed up with it lol
not being shown on the calendar ahead of time doesn't help either, since you can't prepare for it if you don't know it's coming
past fossil
I ditched mining and just do one batches
It’s far less stressful and more enjoyable game without mining
I do some burst mining now and then like 200K of each mineral then I don’t mine for ages
sharp token
i always complete my faction daily mining events, which is honestly not a big deal most days, i usually complete them before the daily events reset anyways
also, just fyi, the higher warp mining systems on my server are also filled up
during mining events
there are quite a number of high level players on my server
what would be nice is the level 32+ mining systems in faction space that are reachable with a horizon actually had a bunch of nodes like the lower level systems, not limited to 8
and systems that swap node types are super annoying, i see nothing wrong with having multiple node types, but having them potentially switch every time they zero out is awful when you use the mining speed captains and have to swap them out, or if it switches to say dilithium,
sorry, i'm having a bit of a rant now about mining in general 😛
shy grotto
@prime gulch also no borg points on swarm????
sharp token
but i just think there are lots of small things that could be done, and it would make the mining events a lot more enjoyable, they might still be boring but it would improve them

They sent us borg points for the mining event screwup but @shy grotto you are right there were NO borg points on swarm missions either...figures another oops from Scopely
@past fossil @prime gulch no borg points on Swarm missions either? How do you expect us to get 48k points to open the missions if you don't give us a chance to earn them?

Attaching points to existing events and creating 10 missions with 1 new officer is not exciting new content, it is smart repackaging of old stuff.
While the event rewards, way they are reached, value of the 20$ pack are all good things and step in right direction, I do hope that moving forward we will actually have some if not all of Borg officerS, Borg specific new events, Borg area, Borg NPC, and Borg ships we can own

So....is the recon event going to repeat? Wondering how to spend these borg recon rewards. You need two at each level in the store. I don’t see another way to win the second for each.
dense cliff
They are premium rewards. You have to buy the rewards pack to get the rest and have access to the event store.
static veldt
Wow, some serious greed there scopely. Get people to work there butts off and yet they still need to pay to unlock rewards. I thought the rewards pack purchase was for the players that are too lazy to grind through the event.
dense cliff
They still have to win half the recon tokens
static veldt
Scopely is too greedy and will never get another penny from me. I’m not going to waste my time grinding and then have to spend to unlock. Shame on you scopely.
static veldt
I decided enough is enough. After one year of playing, I have deleted the game. I just can’t support scopely anymore.
modern urchin
I do think its odd that scopely seem to have the server code to have all these extra tokens floating around with little percieved use after the event. I can kind of take the premium rewards on the chin as its a p2p game and you dont nessasarily need them though there is alot of 'value' in them over the other offers they do.
Im still reserving judgement on them though, at least until it is clear how far I can go in the event and what the $20 gives me
open otter
Lol, they figured out how to make $$$
wraith halo
Almost ZERO of the events provide Trit tokens as rewards. Those that do are very rarely made available. Instead of putting heavy emphasis on par and dil tokens as rewards put the 1M trit tokens in. Balance the tokens out among the rss tokens, dont just only give par or dil tokens.
open otter
Trit = Dom events 🤣😂

swarms events = trit

Does anyone know if the borg premium rewards tokens will be the same next month, so they can be collected accross 2 events, or if the only way to obtain the rewards is to buy a set from the store?

@open otter those're not frequent events either
point is the vast majority of RECENT events are par/dil in an insanely unfair staggered way
so my feedback stands.

Aye killing swarms is the best source of Tri. My bottleneck is the lack of uncommons to upgrade any ships, Tri is not too bad a problem I just cash in some tokens

a data mining event? guys seriously, don't do these events until you reduce the warp times and add more data nodes, it's going to be so crowded, and any time anyone bumps you off a node, it takes forever to travel back
i've got a maxed out BB so this isn't going to take me very long to complete the solo milestone, but i'm still cringing, the warp times are awful for augment space

Lol...we have been losing data mines in many systems for months, never to be replaced and now they make an event. How about fix the mines first. 🙄

Lol, let's just say this, even though it's probably a common complaint, please add more data nodes, and fix the ones in place
fleet oriole
Since I started playing last spring, I complete just about every single event and am not going to even attempt this one. It is not worth the frustration. 35-40 decoded nodes for the whole server to fight over? Scopely has been doing really well lately with recent updates and events, but this one is a huge whiff imo.

We have not had a data event in a long time, months. There were not enough nodes in the past for these, and now there are even less nodes. Probably more players that could do the event now too.

Data mining event = pointless waste of time. Sorry but scopely have neglected aug space nodes repairs for a long time and then want entire server's to pile in the system to do a data mining event 🤔🤔 brilliant thinking went into this. 👩🎓 I'm sure being able to relocate to augment space would lessen the annoyance somewhat but no still can't do that and 10 mins of travel time just make this insanity now.
tough dome
This is THE WORST event that scopely has dumped on this game. The long travel times, the high numbers to complete the solo and the absolute DEARTH of data nodes is just horrible. There's no excuse for this kind of haphazard "event" nonsense.
And then to dump it on us two days in a row? Really?
Shame on you... Just shame on you

Officers yes. The whole augment area and how it works no
I’m in the top ten power on my server so I’m not whining because I can’t do it, it’s just rubbish
The area and especially the event is purely designed to make you sit and watch your ships for hours. It’s not a healthy way to play any game

my point is, during an event where there there are already a bunch of missing nodes, and not enough nodes to go around, even if some weren't missing, now we have some low level player making it even more ridiculous to complete, not because they are more powerful or anything, but because they can't be attacked
winged axle
They have events to complete,they have alliance leaderboards as well,they have solo leaderboards as well.So why do you think they shouldnt be allowed to do these events faster like how you are allowed to?You cant kill him then become his friend and share the node 🤷♂️
sharp token
that's not really a valid argument though, it's a north star, it's not going to get anywhere in the event with it
they aren't doing it to participate in the event, they are doing it to grief

what can I do or Devs?Talk with him and make him stop so another person can mine?
we cant do anything and he isnt doing anything wrong.

well, the devs can certainly do something like put a level requirement on specific node types, the same thing happens often with 3* nodes where level 14s are zeroed on it for many hours

O_o
There are enough economy issues, so, now we are going to add another bottle neck? I think you guys need to figure out a way to get along with that other alliance, or find ways to out smart them.
sharp token
in that specific case, even if they just made it so anyone could hit you after you are zeroed, that would also solve that issue
winged axle
🤣

yes, i'm saying, if you are zeroed, the pvp level requirement should go away

The game allows open world pvp for that reason. Find someone that is willing to smoke the little ship... and send them?
weak terrace
me right now 👀
minor glen
I used to call upon bigs to clear players that I couldnt smoke my self.
winged axle
or just kill someone else

when mining events are going on, there is noone else
minor glen
Then, you need to get out more, make some friends.
winged axle
there is like 300 3g nodes so 300 targets maybe 250 if I remove my alliance mates
weak terrace
winged axle
same applies to Augment
sharp token
not really, not going to be an a-hole, there are only a handful of people that hit UC on my server, i'm not going to add to that
weak terrace
it’s the game 🤷♂️
winged axle
then continue complaining about it
minor glen
So, on your ENTIRE server the only person that is ever DN/OP is someone you can't hit?
:smh:
winged axle
you are making a small issue into a big one.There are a lot of other stuff needs to be fixed but you are obsessed with a single node because of a lvl18 player.It is a game and try to have fun.Dont focus on a single issue
sharp token
lol, mining events are not fun, period, end of story
winged axle
dont mine.There is no rule that you must do every event or you must mine 7/24
Fun is different for every player.For me it is PvP that is fun
for some it is missions🤷♂️
sharp token
i challenge you to find anyone who finds mining events fun, at least on a server as populated as mine lol
minor glen
I hunt OP during mining events. Even more so when it’s data and everyone is super focused on their BBS they forget about their Jolly horizon that’s 15k op
sharp token
about the only people that will think it's fun is the ones that go around killing everyone for no reason
winged axle
cant see a problem in that 🤷♂️
minor glen
Oh, and every ship in space I can 🙂 just for the lulz
winged axle
allowed by game mechanics and ToS sure do it
sharp token
allowed sure, but are you a d*ck for doing it? absolutely
winged axle
according to who?Someone who loves some extra rules?
sharp token
extra rules? i never said anything about extra rules or ROE or anything
winged axle
It is a PvP game,dont blame other person when you lose your ship
sharp token
don't blame them? so the ship just attacked all by itself? lol
winged axle
For example I killed you,is it because I am too strong or is it because you are too weak?
sharp token
actually, it does do that sometimes i noticed
got hit a few days ago and the guy was attacking a hostile lol
not me
he lost his ship 
actually, @winged axle in the case i'm talking about, is because i wasn't even participating
i can go around killing most of the players on my server if i wanted to, but why? what do i gain by that besides a meaningless number and everyone hating me?
weak terrace
@winged axle both 🤣
sharp token
neither actually
like i said, in this scenario, i wasn't even aware that a fight was going to take place
it's like hitting someone from behind when they have no idea you're even there
worthy junco
An alliance event that rewards only top 10 ... who design such thing? The top 10 alliances get bigger and get always all rewards. No competition possible.

Is there any way to find out how to get faction reputation events now? Help desk won't tell me.
green bloom
This data event is retarded for servers with thousands of people and like 50 data nodes
mild glacier
63 nodes to be exact, and that's counting the 63 that are bugged.

Alliance leaderboard events kill the community. It causes intense pressure for power to consolidate in the top few alliances on the servers. A strong, but not top 3 alliance has to deal with burn out and attrition on one end the the pressure for the strongest alliance members to move up to a higher ranking alliance for better rewards on the other end. Players consistently say that their alliance teamwork is one of the biggest factors keeping them in the game, and yet the game is doing everything it can to tear alliances up and make it difficult for them to stay together.
Instead of events that force power consolidation, what if alliances leaderboard events were replaced with alliance milestone events? Your alliance would get goals appropriate to it's level/power and your alliance would need to work together to accomplish those goals.
Top alliances would still be able to work for higher rewards, but lower alliances could still have meaningful and rewarding challenges that could bring members together
mild glacier
Solo leaderboards need to be overhauled or done away with completely as well. they do nothing but reward the whales and encourage players to monopolize resources. It's not fun gameplay.
tough pasture
The soloboard is tier based
mild glacier
The tiers aren't good, if it's not same level only, it's not fair. some leaderboards are not tiered and are global, others have a range of 7 or more levels.
opal geyser
Mines should be removed far to many people are precious of their miners and don't like losing them
winged axle
Looks like you have some maxed officers which turns to officer exp
vagrant topaz
yes, but it shows only 1 officer
are all green officers 2,5k xp?
btw this bp are quiet useless for a lvl34 player
sharp token
awesome, swarm event today 
brisk brook
hmm, one event is away for me. saw 3 swarm events in the preview and now there are only 2.
green quartz
I really hope we have swarm Sunday in addition to the Borg swarm event
Double the rewards for the same work please!

I don't like swarms. I hate doing stuff 😂
Scopely please give me domination event! 😂

@vagrant topazis there no alliance event today, then
violet panther
event was buggered do we get compensation for buggered weekend event?
you all expanded the other races space why not the Augmented space? 20000 players, some one stated 63 buggered nodes.
tight tundra
it caused quite a few fights though
tiny prawn
Am I the only one over this Borg event. This is a 20+ day event for one officer (the bonuses are great though). I would rather have a week long even than a month long event. Especially, since things such as bp’s are offered every other month. 😡
sharp token
@tiny prawn i don't really get what there is to be "over"
open otter
It's a addition to the regular events
sharp token
all the regular events are still going on
limber zephyr
no trophy recruit with battle for glory open again
open otter
Wait for a bit they'll probably open up in a bit
tiny prawn
Meaning I’d rather have a different event. I hate month long events, that offer resources and the occasional uncommon resource. Plus, I’m kind of getting tired of the Events being the same after a while.
runic meadow
When is next replicator, and is it likely ore or crystal? I know last one was gas
signal tapir
There has never been an event schedule for this game. @runic meadow
runic meadow
@signal tapir no but there is some repetition.

Just a quick question guys and gals after 28 the game seems to put you into the one group for the ranked events and limited time events . Ive noticed latley the timers on the normal everyday events have blown out to 10 and 11 hours with few 5.5hour cycles is this normal after L28 .

So... Just in case you have forgotten this, Scopely. NOBODY plays this game because they like mining. We do it because you have made it an arbitrary requirement to advance.
It is extremely unlike ST to have us waste days mining rss. We have warships, but we don't actually use them like they are used in ST. Are we providing security? Nope. Escort? Nope. Exploration? Nope. Patrols? Nope. Investigation? Nope. None of these except as part of missions.

I would just be happy knowing what event is coming before the reset so that I can prep for the event.
tulip yew
You do know
Events are listed 5 mins before the start
Sometimes you have to restart the client to see it
winged axle
Yep
weak terrace
It’s not new lol

It seems the jelly event every 2 days is lies it's when scopely feels like it I was taken for some good $$ believing in what I read now I'm left with questioning why I bother how can you enjoy a game where what you read are lies and you are stolen from over false promises
False advertising
Being swindled
