[cerulean torrent]

Nope, they're not. It's "working as intended" 🤣🤣 🤦‍♂️

[jovial zinc]

First time in over 2 years playing I’ve purposefully skipped an sms event….just saying

[muted granite]

If today was just Crucible of War and Rules of Acquisition, it would have been a pretty good day.
BUT
This Upgrade the Station! event and its huge Parsteel wall is just overshadowing a nice quiet between arc day.

[quasi torrent]

Late april joke. 🤦‍♂️

[blissful zealot]

This event was intended to be labeled as "Heroic"
The rewards do not appear to be, ahem, "Heroic"

[buoyant ember]

"Heroic", my ass. The rewards were not even "Heroic" to waste spending 250billion+ in parsteel......laughable @wanton copper

[granite nymph]

Anyone know what these new tokens are for. I need to know to evaluate if the event is worth participating in

[buoyant ember]

recruitment section

[granite nymph]

Ok thank you.

[civic gorge]

“Intended to be labeled as Heroic” just as spending slb has ended. Nobody has uncommon mats left to build. Just call it as it was intended. A cash grab.

[granite nymph]

I get the feeling the events of the last few months are intentionally designed to drain resources and other items from the game economy. To force people to purchase stuff that has now become scarce.

[delicate marlin]

Heroic lol. Just call it a wallet warrior event.

[granite nymph]

I mean the payout is garbage even when you consider jayla Harrison and the new underside crew are available. The chances are slim you get enough to matter

[tiny terrace]

Still can‘t do it. Missing many many many materials. 😂

[past spoke]

Just seen scopleys announcement, all I have to say is keep……..

https://tenor.com/view/falafel-gifalafel-hazfalafel-icanhasfalafel-reaction-gif-reaction-פלאפלאנילקבליכולפלאפל-פלאפל-אנילקבליכולפלאפל-digging-gif-13411844

🤣🤣

[trail shale]

I say they can the whole damn thing and give us a full officer... you want us to demand less scopely? then screw up less.

[strong anchor]

"Heroic" in this case means "level up 19 defense platforms" 🤣

[thin bear]

"We recognize many of you found this event to be more challenging to complete than previous events and appreciate the feedback as we plan future events."

It's not challenging, it's expensive to the point of absurdity and pays out next to nothing. A $100 station pack has 90B parsteel at my Ops level. This event needs 122B steel for me to complete. It's $135 worth of parsteel to complete. For that ridiculous cost in the event, you get gas and dil, and that looks to be close to what you'd get from a ticketed event - nowhere near a $135 value. You also get a few officer shards.

By comparison, there's a $100 pack that has 13K faction credits (split between the factions), 1725 Independent credits, and 720 UR tokens. It also has 1200 assignment tokens, enough for 10 pulls of the officer pack.

So, like I said - that's not a challenging event. It's absurdly expensive, and pays out FAR less than it should, given the cost. The pack that just buys the theoretical real event prize pays out TEN times more of the event recruit tokens for roughly 75% of the cost.

Do better.

[shut wharf]

Just a scam to sell those

[brazen oyster]

Labeling it different doesn't change its absurdity yes.

But whales will whale and even think"hey gonna pay anyways, so I'll get a lil bonus completing the event". Sales psychology.

[rancid canyon]

By changing name, don't forget to change the rewards as well, otherwise only the name will be heroic

[lucid idol]

And with that announcement scopely prove just how little thought was put into this event, and at the same time prove how much disdain they have for your average player, or to be more specific the non-paying players

This event was poorly thought out even for Scopely, absolutely criminal

[barren shore]

quite frankly, it's not that it was challenging, i have the steel to finish, just that the rewards were really not worth it

[lucid idol]

Oh yeah I've got the parsteel, but only because I've been saving it for months. This event has drained 90% of my parsteel stock

[summer jasper]

So the new scopley policy is when event is a joke. Rewards are a joke. And the expected player output is ridiculous…. Just call it heroic???? Way to go scopley! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[lucid idol]

This is what happens when you have a game who's main stakeholders are soulless TV execs

[paper hazel]

"Oh, we screwed up, better make up a lie so we don't look bad."

This ain't no heroic event, it's an absurd event.

[hollow hinge]

I wish i could give more 💩 emojis in their announcement. Least my wife will be happy i’m finally actually f2p

[shut wharf]

Heroic Feedback ! Let's try to reach 10k 💩 on this announcement !

[desert nimbus]

THEY RENAMED THE EVENT HAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

https://tenor.com/view/lol-laughing-rofl-mike-tyson-ha-ha-gif-16009256

rev deuce gonna have a field day with this one lol

[stone quarry]

What's so heroic about the new events? Hero Burger has a more Heroic menu that's more affordable. 😂🤣🤣😂

[earnest minnow]

Worth the 10bn parsteel I had to spend for that chest? 💩

[mint basin]

75% of my Parsteel... But Scopely says thats because it''s HEROIC. Well the rewards don't feel heroic. They feel stupid compared to what the average player has to chop off to complete

[sharp hollow]

It was not the labeling that "confused" us

It's the LACK of rewards... Heroic events USUALLY give HEROIC Rewards

[small vigil]

Feedback for parsteel event is it's one of the worse events ever.

[radiant carbon]

Also this event leaves out those of us sitting at 39 with maxed buildings waiting for server op40 unlock

[olive prism]

Greedy

Just plain GREEDY

[shut wharf]

HEROIC FEEDBACK... let's make this one the WORST feedback ever !

[sharp hollow]

The AUDACITY that they attempt to pass off our OUTRAGE as being US not understanding it was supposed to be a "Heroic Event" is just plain LUNACY

[vernal isle]

Until people stop dropping thousands a month on the game, they don’t have to care.

[olive prism]

I agree but most of the people here aren’t the whales.

[vagrant topaz]

I spent more parsteel then I have tokens for

Had to use 378 1 mil tokens

[delicate marlin]

That looks reasonable for me at 37 lol

[vagrant topaz]

For me at level 28 its highly unreasonable

[pulsar mauve]

Lvl 41 is 57.6 Billion. Slight uptick there. A dry dock is 2.2B for 39 and 40. It’s like 1-2 ops levels worth of para to hit that amount and about 6 months worth of speed ups.

Or just dump billions into alliance contributions

[vagrant topaz]

I dumped it into alliance contributions

But that was over a year worth of tokens

[sleek scroll]

This event is 🐎 💩 . You're asking me to spend more parateel than exists in my inventory + tokens, and the rewards I get don't even come close to paying for a single upgrade to my Jellyfish?

The only thing heroic about it is the heroic amount of stupidity I'd need to fall for this trap.

[vagrant topaz]

You're making me feel real smart now

[sleek scroll]

The really dumb thing is that they could have fixed it for me 100% by giving us even the slightest clue it was coming. I spent 3x the amount I needed to finish it on an Ops upgrade not even 24 hrs ago.

[cold oar]

wAs IntENdEd tO sAy hERoIc...

What an absolute load of garbage 😂

[open niche]

Let's call it what it is a whale event

[terse thunder]

Heroic means a wallet effort nowdays. Bah

[wheat pelican]

💩

[viscid bough]

They didn't intend to hand out so much parsteel for the Red Alert event, so they cancelled the next one, then invented an event to make you spend over 5 TIMES the amount that event awarded.

Hey, Scopely, punish yourselves for your mistakes, not the players

I never post here, but there you go, I thought this 💩 event deserved some "feedback"

[shrewd shale]

We were.gping sooooooo good ,.until you slaped that upgrade the station SMS...
😂

[undone idol]

This event, even when you stick “Heroic” in the title, is proof the Devs think the player base is compromised of a bunch of idiots.

[wanton pewter]

I'm simply not ever going to participate in this event. OPS 44 - yea nah. Stick it where the sun don't shine.

Too expensive, nowhere near enough rewards to justify the input and an SLB for it...just stop.

[light canyon]

Way over points gauging bs , this game is going to hell in a hand basket . Instead of improving it’s going down hill very quickly with the fun being sucked out of the game due to scopley’s money grubbing vacuums being set to full power

[chilly cedar]

Needed 10B par for lv 38. I've already upgraded my platforms. Even throwing in the misc generators and vaults plus a forced upgrade to ops 39 (a 50+ day upgrade), I can only use 3.8B par.
Who came up with these stupid milestones anyway? Did they calculate what's needed for a station that has all the rss reductions researches done? Simply calling it "heroic" doesn't cut it.

[uneven relic]

It is STEEL speend, it doesnt matter what you spend it on, it doesnt HAVE to be station upgrades

station, research, ships, even contributions

[chilly cedar]

Other spends are miniscule

I have 10B par without dipping into tokens.. thanks to some mates who gave up their game. Scopely wants more to leave??

[uneven relic]

i have done a heap of small researches i would never have gotten any returns from events, yea it adds up, then the rest put into alliance contributions, at least you are getting a return for contributing to the alliance,

those are options, entirely your choice how you do it.

its a currency convertor, convert steel into other mats and dil you may need, AND a handful of officer shards.

[gilded warren]

Just curious scamely, bean counters decide events, because theres difference between fun and just plain boring grind ??

[summer jasper]

I don’t mind grinding for rewards. But when an event comes out that expects me to blow 180 billion par at my opps level for 300 mil dilithium and 3 crew shards; well that’s just blatant gouging. Call it heroic or not, the rewards are pathetic for the expected spend. Goes beyond getting greedy.

[gilded warren]

My level is 252 billion red, which i dont have, besides would completely stuff my progress.!!!

Short sighted morons thought up this event

Do you qualtity test, latest brain fart, b4 releasing on players, who do have a functioning brain btq

Btw

[summer jasper]

But scopley has been gouging us from day one if you look at the history. Players have to spend time flying around doing missions, and yet missions require you to “donate” rss for less than stellar rewards. There should no mission that requires players to give away rss, we have to already give our time to them.

[gilded warren]

I undeserstand making money royalties to star trek would not be cheap !!

[summer jasper]

They make lots of money. Just go look at their reported profits.

[gilded warren]

Star trek royalties 30 to 40 %

No idea really what they pay, but rather quality than quantity

Boring players to death, surely no win situation, would i recommend star trek fleet command, if you have lots money want to waste then yes

[summer jasper]

My server has the player who has spent the most money on this game. We did a rough guesstimate on her and figure it’s in the range of 400-600 grand.

[gilded warren]

Better things spend on than this game

[summer jasper]

She was the first player to hit opps 60.

She is also the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. So yeah.

[mortal inlet]

I'm beyond words on the Upgrade the Station Heroic event. Just wtf ... Like ... is this some kind of service to make players stop and think if maybe quitting the game would be a smart thing. Borders on abuse ...

[willow glen]

7B par for 8 officer shards? wtf scopely?

[lucid idol]

bit late to the party are we buddy? 😂 7b would be nothing to me but my event wanted 122b rofl

[willow glen]

More like 3 years too long at the party.

[fresh frost]

Value is subjective, though...

And quite personal

Personally I'd rather pay off the house and invest a chunk of that 600k, but guessing someone with that amount to burn has already got significantly more available

All a matter of scaling

[empty badger]

if i was elon musk i wouldnt spend 600 grand on STFC. while value is subjective, that is a sliding scale based off objective value. and its all part of the great reset trying to convince us that virtual items have value, when they obviously dont.

turn off the power and see if you can convert that value back

[fresh frost]

You're not buying anything from stfc, it's not an NFT or similar, you're buying your position in line, or paying it as a service type thing... Its not about the items, it's about the time saved to get to goal

If you're looking at it in terms of possessions, then yeah, zero value in any of the packs (and a little silly if that's why you pay for them)

The only thing you buy in the game is time saved

And for someone with multi millions... I imagine time is kinda important

The event is a waste of digital storage, and really not worth doing on a simple conversion of steel to dil/gas unless you're really swimming in it already

But talking about things in terms of value as a possession is not a good way of looking at the game

In fact, most games/videos/other online providers now, you don't own any of the content you pay for, it's all leased 🤷‍♂️

[dark horizon]

But you got to love Scopely's answer ... Majority of players are saying the cost to complete the SMS is ridiculous, and Scopely is like "sorry for the confusion" ... No, there is no confusion ... the cost of completing it is just ridiculous

[queen kindle]

It's supposed to be harder or even impossible to complete for f2p, that's what Heroic means. When you see that tag, take the time to evaluate your available resources and the rewards to see if it's something you can/want to play in. If you're ill-positioned, then it makes sense to skip that event unless you're up for buying packs.

[dark horizon]

So then why not some Heroic rewards for an impossible event ? You get 8 shards, which is less than what you get in an ultra chest. You do get the 3 cartoon ones, but still nowhere close to a Heroic reward.

I am F2P, I have the 14B to dump at my level, it is just not worth. the rewards are just bad for the amount required

[queen kindle]

For some people the chance at one Harrison shard is more than they've been given for about a year. And there are a lot of people missing just that one shard to unlock because of how scoring was in the Harrison slbs.

If that's not you, then maybe the event is skippable.

[dark horizon]

Totally skippable, im trying to avoid spending parsteel just so i am 0/14B at the end of the 3 days

I think that is the consesus as well

[queen kindle]

Then you know what to do. There are still 2 days left to see if the environment changes, but no use worrying about it until then

[pine goblet]

The environment will not change. We’re all quite upset. Making your business model toeing the line between how much you can piss off your player base and how much money you can make is a dangerous game. Adding a title of heroic to the event but not making the rewards event somewhat palatable is a huge error in judgement.

[sleek scroll]

If you don't speak corporate "see if the environment changes" translates into everyday language as "we will not be listening to your feedback."

[true falcon]

Why not call it what it is then, "A Whale Milking" event. There's nothing herioc about it.

[sleek scroll]

I'd argue it is heroically tone deaf.

[true falcon]

I am also one of those people that needs 1 Harrison shard for over a year to unlock.

Events like this one just pissed me off, knowing that even if I did drop nearly all of my accumulated steel to complete it, I'd probably not even get a shard of Harrison.

If this is the way forward on their sourcing ideas for him. Then I doubt I'll ever unlock him, nor even try.

[wanton anvil]

Hunter/Killer is a terrible event. Cannot believe you brought it back. Found out it is just for servers that are merging. So you get your nacelles kicked by your whales in preparation for getting your ships destroyed by a whole new group of whales. Yay! 🎉

[dark horizon]

It is the week of events not to complete.

[wanton anvil]

Maybe a week off will break the addiction…

[thin bear]

Update the officers in the recruit pack associated with the Crucible medals.

[fading tapir]

Here is some feedback for you, scopely. In an upgrade your base event, I was ops 34 and had to spend over 4B parsteel to complete this travesty of an event. I’ve spent resources to go to level 35, but once ops 35 was complete, the event reset! Now, my SMS requires me to spend 7.22B in the two days remaining. How does this make any sense?! Calling it “heroic” is not the answer.

[dark horizon]

You should test to see if it resets again at 36 :))

[hardy knoll]

Mine reset too when I went from ops 38 to 39

[pine goblet]

Well that’s even MORE heroic!

[viscid phoenix]

The real question here is why did you do the event in the first place? 😛

[hardy knoll]

For me it was coincidence that my ops finished. I wasn't trying to do the event.

[lusty rock]

Cmon scopley, i get 60 par from the limit officer and standard officer mini event run now, but i need to kill 100+ hostile for basicaly the same par and no extras. Fix your rewards

[vagrant topaz]

The COW rewards mostly come from the alliance milestone event. You finishing the solo event scores there too.

[slender tundra]

Anyone else have a turf wars event start at 3 am eastern? Seems weird

[fervent laurel]

Yup

[languid marlin]

Not sure when it started, but yeah. Turf Wars starting early morning is....... well, on par with scopely logic.

[tender wadi]

Did it start late, or has it started early? So many unknowns - nice of Scopely to make a clear announcement in the #⚡-mod-announcements and #⭐-official-announcements channels for us all.... oh, wait... they didn't!

[shut wharf]

Now we have the name of the new Event Manager at scope :

[gray jolt]

Turf wars just disappeared for me

https://tenor.com/view/nod-magic-poof-disappear-i-dream-of-jeannie-gif-16198733

[raw berry]

Of course my work towards it prob doesnt end up counting

[rare dust]

Thanks for getting me to spend iso-emulsion…..

[silver briar]

Can anyone explain why turf wars event disappeared?

[gray jolt]

One word....Scopley

[hollow parcel]

where is tuff wars event ? <@&509691205798592532>

[vague spear]

Came here to ask the same question about turf wars from server 26.

[silver briar]

I set miners overnight. Came back and the event is gone. Totally insane.

[dry ruin]

☠️

[bleak quartz]

💀

[oblique ore]

Turf Wars is gone and you get no reward, if you dock with ISO...

[shut wharf]

You don't understand... It is HEROIC snap event guys...

[scenic flint]

Disappearing Event?

[gray jolt]

Not disappearing, Scopley is testing their new event cloaking technology

https://tenor.com/view/klingon-birdofprey-cloaking-gif-19630088

[reef verge]

"Are you not HEROES?" -Scopely

[true falcon]

Yep, definitely a new type of event, "Cloaked"

[gray jolt]

The "uncloak event" tokens will be available for purchase in the store shortly

[silver briar]

That’s why my wallet and players seem to be disappearing as well

[scenic flint]

lol, Don't give Scopely any ideas now...

[gilded girder]

Bet it was Tibor again

[pine goblet]

It’s also appropriate because it’s in gif format and keeps happening

What happened to the Turf War event?!?!?

[scenic flint]

Scopely being Scopely

[sharp knot]

Ah, Turf War has disappeared for everyone then…

[sterile idol]

<@&509691205798592532> 1st in my bracket and now Turf Wars iso event has just disappeared... Will the scores we've already registered return?

[long lintel]

<@&509691205798592532> what happened to the turf wars event? Will we be compensated for the effort we put in? Some of us were in 1st place.

[polar token]

The event will be back very soon. As for scoring, we'll see I guess.

[long lintel]

🙄

[scenic smelt]

Aaaaaaand a fresh turf event is back. Thanks to everyone that spent all day mining isogen. That was an Heroic wast of time. x)

[mint grail]

We spent all day mining for.... A RESET

[sterile idol]

I guess not... scopely, you are the worst...

[lucid idol]

erm, wtf scopely? i was first in the turf wars slb and you wipe my score?

[rain yoke]

What's with the new events saying retrieving and not giving any details

[cinder oak]

@wanton copper , I cannot help not to notice that the restarted TURF WARS event has smaller rewards than the previous one. I don't think it helps much to run this event for two days.

[bronze pine]

I lost 35 million points because of reset...

[scenic smelt]

Don't complain, at least you are still able to see that there is an event !

[elder forge]

for me the same like before

[bronze pine]

It started last night so I mined all night till now... that’s 12 hours mining with 3 ships shot to hellllll.....

[twilit furnace]

It started at 3 AM and ran until just before noon. That's only 9 hours

[past hearth]

Whoever has done the announcement for the restarted event clearly didn't realise it was already a 2 day event before they botched it. Not even an offer of any compensation chests just a 'tough luck, start again' announcement. Hopeless.

[tawny hedge]

Great... When I saw the event disappear I pulled back all of my full miners.

Now they are starting it again

AFTER I pulled them out

[lucid idol]

yep cause somehow it's easy enough for them to delete an event that it can be done by mistake 😂

tip to scopely: install "are you sure you want to delete this event?" warning

[scenic smelt]

I notice: no chest for this one... Actually i am still waiting that chest they should already given yesterday...

[twilit furnace]

I got double SMS event rewards

I'll take that as compensation for losing SLB points

[dark horizon]

I'm thinking 2 options ... .1 - Scopely hires only people that constantly need to be on meds, and they keep skipping taking them .... 2 - Scopely is running a social experiment to see how much crap the players can take before they finally give up .... There is no other explanation for the amount of screwups in this game

[lucid idol]

yeah i won't since i was first and had over 70m score, not good enough for them to just say "oh well tough luck guys, start again"

never usually go for slbs and the one time i do, this happens

[glad mango]

I was 2nd with over 20 million points, smh, and for them to just say oops sorry to bad

[dark horizon]

I'm sure they are sorry for the confusion ... just like with the Heroic one

[tall wharf]

We have members that wasted their 1 Tokenized Space coin 🤣

[twilit furnace]

looks like they're fixing it.

[tall wharf]

Can't do anything but laughing because it will never change

[twilit furnace]

for the SLB at least

[lucid idol]

can't complain at the fix as long as they actually just add our old scores onto the new ones

[twilit furnace]

yeah, and then we still get double SMS event rewards. Sounds like really nice compensation to me.

[sterile idol]

Yeah but I worked really hard and did 12hrs worth of work 😂

[twilit furnace]

I've got 2 Meridians running right now to do double work

[lucid idol]

2 max merids here too, working their backsides off

[dark horizon]

That only worked if you actually managed to dock before they pulled the event ... I was wondering why i didnt get the alerts of points received ... sucks for me

[sterile idol]

I'd been pirating all morning, had 70mil+ points 😂

[somber flax]

Me Too

[vagrant topaz]

Turf wars just becomes a Whales whale slug-fest. A 60 whale comes in and whether he hits a floating 30 or a mid-50's? Same points.

Turf war is just a "Let's Eat the Krill" event.

[manic estuary]

Weren't we supposed to get a freebie over the whole " upgrade the station" thing?

[normal elm]

We got a free canceled event does that count

[honest sand]

For a “Heroic” event the rewards are small for the price you pay. The SLB is just as terrible, I do like the addition of Harrison to the recruit pull however 1 pull for the SMS and 2 pulls for first place on the SLB seems very lacking for an “Heroic event”

[vagrant topaz]

Scopely said this week, so maybe tomorrow. Or maybe they are just hoping we forget and let it go

[grave rose]

Won’t be doin that hope others will not either

[somber flax]

Figured I would complete it and see if I could get a "Heroic" officer pull. Worked out like it usually does...got 3 shards for my new employee at the ship carwash...so yeah...that on top of staying up all night grinding iso event and sitting in 3rd to have all the points removed...WoW

[vagrant topaz]

Lmao same. At least you got a Harrison shard, that's cool.

[somber flax]

Funny between us we had 6 rolls at 40% each to land a rare or epic undercrew member and struck out all 6 times...that pesky Scopely math again.

[gritty bobcat]

The Iso event points are going to be added back

I was 5M clear of the nearest person when I lost them all

now I'm only 2.7m clear going to be a big shock to the others when I get my 5M back

[sterile idol]

Just like the apology chest for that heroic event fiasco 😂

[pine goblet]

@gritty bobcat mhmmmm we shall see. That’s alot of work to add them back. Shame cause i was 2nd when it dropped and now way further down. Won’t hold my breath

[lethal ledge]

I was 22million clear.. and I’m now 1 million behind the leader.. he had no score when they reset

If they actually do it

[somber flax]

And my Scopely compensation check is in the mail.

[slate stump]

I had hoped by now Scopely would have discovered they have 11 Borg officers … where is 11/11

[willow glen]

Painting his number on his shirt

[dark horizon]

missing 3 and 4 as well, and the tiles titles still say "of Ten"

thank god for this Discord, players doing the QA and testing for this game

[grim summit]

Giving people points in a SLB simply because they happened to be online for a glitched version of the event feels wrong to me, and is objectively an unfair solution to all involved. They're given more than the 48 hours the rest of us have to accrue points, by so doing. Give them some rewards, don't add the points into this subsequent SLB and completely break the spirit of fair competition. @wanton copper I have worked hard to top my LB and will just stop competing if this injection of pre-scored-points changes the race over halfway into said race. Send them uncommon and a officer shard, don't displace the genuine competition we've engaged in thusfar.

[jovial zinc]

@wanton copper adding points to a current event, to make up for an error on a previous event, is tacitly unfair to all participants in the current event. It amounts to giving some players extra time to do an event. If you want to make up for the previous event issue, give a gift chest to those affected rather than punish players who were not affected (which is what you are doing by awarding extra points)

[grim summit]

Thanks Kid, exact same perspective!!!

I'm west coast, I am punished for having slept in under the DAILY expectation that DAILY events reset at 9am.

[jovial zinc]

I’m west coast too

[grim summit]

Rating you a 3/10 so far Eco.

[jovial zinc]

Heres mine so far. I almost always win every slb because i grind & grind. This “solution” is the opposite of fair play whether it affects the final outcome or not.

[past fossil]

You cannot please everyone. The people that were online and put time and effort into the event would also have been upset that their points/time was wasted if it counted for nothing

[jovial zinc]

Correct, so offer them compensation rather than penalize others by an u fair s Irving system where some players get more than 48h to score points

[past fossil]

Also it’s not just a community manager that decides everything alone, chances are he will have just relayed feedback and it would have been product team/Live Ops who came to the decision to give points to those who scored before

[grim summit]

I clearly stated it should not count for nothing, but having it count against those of us who were not able to compete - literally a separate SLB - feels like the incorrect measure to solve this. Why not reward the SLB rewards in a gift chest and call it good? They are just as able to compete in this 48 hour run, no?

[past fossil]

Also, it was communicated pretty well that the points would be returned.. so if you were not online for the event that wasn’t scheduled and then choose to compete in the second one, that was your choice. Full well knowing that there maybe a disadvantage

[jovial zinc]

But why give “affected” players over 48h worth of points while unaffected players get only 48h? All that’s happened here is affected players become unaffected & unaffected players became affected players

[past fossil]

Don’t shoot the messenger.

[grim summit]

Not sure this admin is even reading what you type.

[jovial zinc]

So your telling players not to give feedback in the #💬-events-feedback channel?

[past fossil]

No, was more responding to the comment about 3/10 towards Eco

[grim summit]

The only post that wasn't actually feedback, got it.

[shut wharf]

Fair enough present thx

[fresh monolith]

counting points of an past event to a new started 2 day running one after one day eventtime was imho the worst possible solution! 💩 👎

[fallen forge]

So why do we run a borg event with no vi'dar sale?

[dire spindle]

Why is the Borg event not updated? Borgs out of 10 and missing the borgs released in the last 6-8 months. This is illustrating for the players the total lack of effort put into events that don’t correlate with high spending. Why the cut and paste event, of a year ago ?

[visual anchor]

Little maintenance on the event store, please. You still got borg officers listed as “of 10”, and it’s been “of 11” for months and months. Add 11 in to the store, while you are at it, since that’s the one most of us actually need.

[civic nimbus]

Where do you get the 48 hours from it was 12 hours if you are lucky before it got reset

[jovial zinc]

Right so those that were affected by that 12h event are getting 48 + 12h for the current one. While others get only 48h. That’s what I was trying to convey at least

[civic nimbus]

Plus when has scoplay did anything that is fair have you seen the pvp ranges

[fresh monolith]

however, adding the points during a running event is just 💩 ! They should be added on start of an event, so everyone could know how to deal with it. 😉

[hollow talon]

Where are Eleven, Four and Three of Eleven in the event store ? 😡

[true falcon]

So glad I didn't waste 90 billion steel to get this

[light canyon]

Honestly out of the 3+yrs of playing I find the whole lower deck arc to be the worst one ever and hope to hell that the next arc ain’t more of the same crap

[formal solstice]

if it is im asking for a refund ive never seen so much tripe

[dark pine]

Not played as long but found the last 2 months worst

[viscid phoenix]

Did you miss the original Borg arc? That was by far the worst.

[rustic iris]

This game really needs to give us more ways or opportunities to get borg armada directives if they want us to show any enthusiasm for the armada LBs. Gifts or from the borg refinery or anything besides having to spend your event credits (or money) on it.
The LBs are going slow even in a big alliance because no one has directives and no one cares enough to bother getting them.

Is there a reason for the once-per-day cooldown timer on the COW gold trophy recruit?

I accidentally did a 1-chest pull two months ago and it’s going to take me another two months after tonight to get rid of all my remaining gold trophies since I can only do one additional non-full pull per event cycle. It’s a little annoying.

[vagrant topaz]

In biology if you don't know the answer to a question, always guess surface area. In stfc if you don't know the answer to a question, always guess $$$

[wanton anvil]

Arc get a B. Storyline was entertaining, events were abundant. Officer sourcing was sufficient. Free path to Cerritos was appreciated as was the path to 2 free treasury lockboxes per year. I did not like turf wars or hunter killer and only participated to support my alliance. It is not “fun” to get decimated by ships 10x stronger. Until there is more parity, balance and fair competition in the game, pvp events will continue to be unpopular.

[patent river]

Oooor hear me out. You stack em and use them for the directives chest. Starts at 900 coins.

[storm ridge]

how the heck can you say that XD

There is no objective argument to say taht Lower decks was worse than say how Borg ended 🙃

certainly not worse than separatists

[low flicker]

Ferengi was a horrible ARC

[gritty bobcat]

I liked lower decks 🤷‍♂️ I thought the missions were great.

[low flicker]

I can honestly say in 3+ years of playing. I cannot recall ever reading mission dialogue. I just click until it goes away

[normal elm]

There's dialog?

[limpid pier]

Would rather have Apex then the busted borg event. Way to drop the ball on a good month

[vagrant topaz]

I read the augment missions. Khan is cool

[abstract roost]

any PVP event should include a tighter ops range, like...a player can only hit another players 1 level higher or 1 level lower...this would help with equalizing a pvp battle where research, upgrades, officers levels have more of an impact

[uneven relic]

Yea use them on the gold trophy UTILITY pack if you have so many of them.

[twilit gust]

Ferengi at least had the redeeming feature of being able to get a lot of Trait XP from events

[vital drift]

Don't diss the Dabo arc!

[dire spindle]

I agree. Recycling a Borg event from a year ago is the worst and the laziest.

[turbid venture]

Give us our apex event!!!!!!!! @wanton copper

[pine goblet]

I dunno @dire spindle i still don’t have the infinitus skin. So i don’t mind the opportunity to get more. The problem with this event is that originally they gave us plenty of directives now they just want us to buy them. Which is a joke quite frankly. It’s like a drug dealer giving you a little taste

[vagrant topaz]

overall i liked this battlepass, i didn't like turf wars slb, for the negative points when you are taken down, i think that using the amount of damage done for scoring will be better, instead of net number of wins-loss, another gripe where the loose brakets for the recruit mariner events

[digital linden]

I don't understand why we have been given this Borg event when we can't kill them? The only way I can take part is if I buy the vidar which isn't even on offer to me right now.

[uncut sentinel]

At somepoint I would love to see an exchange for us oldtimers that played when the Battlepass first launched with the original BORG launch to exchange the 10 keys for maybe Borg War Funds...

[tribal ravine]

@digital linden don't mind the dirty laundry vibe here, sourcing content after the introductory arc remains a 'dirty laundry' topic IMHO, aka .. its not pleasant, it stinks, and needs a thorough rinse cycle to make it appear better

[uncut sentinel]

Exchange all 10 for 3750 or so

[digital linden]

@tribal ravine this event does seem a little "spare of the moment" and even a little desperate, doesn't it? Lol

[tribal ravine]

its a well document event that has a specific set of crews for the armadas, a specific tactic for 'everybody buy one mega cube directive, share, and save one for next time' that Dj has once again revamped the instructions on how to play this event to the max. We're in-between arcs. It's time to drag out the filler events that run for the appropriate amount of time to occupy our entertainment void until the next arc launches. I'd not say 'spur of the moment' I'd say 'a regular recurring arc void filler' ... now if they'd perhaps roadmap the fillers as well as they do the arcs, we might even be able to get players in our alliance ready to go with the right set of plans for success, vs 'oh event drops, lets gooooo..... oops there was a better way, we forgot, ....again....' but thats my $.02 😉

[wanton copper]

I brought up the desire to have more Apex events in the future and if I get any info on that I'll be sure to let everyone know!

[wanton copper]

Also tagging @jovial zinc so that we can all be on the same page. I totally understand your concerns about this and I'm sorry you're having this experience. We wanted to give everyone back their progress for the past event that was taken away since time and resources were both invested.

Our idea wasn't to make it unfair for those that just started participating, but making sure everyone was given points for the time they invested into the event both past and present

[turbid venture]

This isn't a simple desire this is the schedule laid out by scopley over years and now it's been taken from us. Last month and God forbid it happen this month people are getting angry

[wanton copper]

Totally understand Vegito and thanks for letting me know.,

[turbid venture]

I understand but we as long time members need the event to get skins and rewards for ourselves as well as we can not purchase the Stella skin

[paper girder]

Eco seems to be doing his best to keep us happy, the problem is we still call fleet command a game, and scoply is calling it a source of revenue. Their in it for the money and we stick around for the community
Edit, spelling

[jovial zinc]

I can appreciate that time & resources were invested and to compensate those players for that is the correct thing to do. But to compensate them, in a wholly different event, gives those players an advantage in that event over non-compensated players. The net effect is to penalize an entirely new set of players. The correct compensation for the time & resources of the affected players should take place outside of this new event. Do you see the misplaced logic of your compensation?

[jovial zinc]

Why give points in an entirely new event, you have in effect given a head start on a new event to a subset of players disadvantaging the unaffected players. So now the originally disadvantaged players get 48 hours plus the amount of time the first event ran before it was pulled to score points. While everyone else gets 48 hours. How is this fair?

Additionally some players completed the sms before it was pulled & they received all the milestone prizes for that-as they should. But why give them a head start on the slb of an entirely new event?

[queen kindle]

They didn't have a head start, the event started at the same time for everyone even if some were not online to start doing it

[paper girder]

But when the event started, and everyone had 0 points, a bunch of people had points, there fore a head start

[queen kindle]

Everyone started at the same time, some did not score with the time they were given. As the continuation event progressed, everyone's scores moved over from the initial starting event even if it was zero.

[jovial zinc]

So those players get 48+ hours to do the event while others get only 48…how can you see this as anything but inequitable?

[queen kindle]

Everyone had the same amount of time to play in the event, even if you had school/work/sleep that prevented you from doing that.

[jovial zinc]

Pffft

So if scopely had an east coast & west coast office. Then launched at 5 am east coast time, a surprise scopely wide contest and bonus pay for performance that went from 5 am east to 8 am est, you think the west coast employees would think they had an equal shot at the bonus ?

[queen kindle]

The event was intended to run the full duration, it was only stopped by accident. And since it was a multi-day event, both east and west coasters would have a chance

[jovial zinc]

But not the same chance as the hours prevent equitable access

Just admit you blew it, not only the mistaken event but then the fix afterwards. You just blew it, that’s all

It’s not the end of the world but you guys got it totally wrong on the front end & the back end

[queen kindle]

It is the same chance, you just weren't awake at the time, but plenty of people were. Also, I'm not Scopely. I'm a player seeing a weak argument about inequality

[jovial zinc]

Got it, the mods gonna argue a players feedback in the the events feedback channel…swell

[vagrant topaz]

So because he is a mod and completely selflessly provides a benefit to the stfc community he is not allowed to voice his opinion? Right.

[jovial zinc]

No he’s allowed, but pushing back against valid event feedback is not the place of a mod. There’s a line and as mid his comments & presence Carrie’s a weight. And pushing back against valid event feedback is counter to his task of maintaining an inviting place for commentary.

[queen kindle]

If the premises of the argument are not sound, then the argument is not valid. Putting forth the misconception that players were given a head start, when they were not, and failing to handle the critique leaves the argument without weight. I can be a contributor to the discussion in addition to moderating, and attempting to silence the opposition is counter to what an open forum is about.

[vagrant topaz]

What about players that completed the sms before it was taken down given an extra chest? Everyone that didn't score got 1, those that did got 2. That doesn't seem very fair

[vagrant topaz]

That I personally agree with (I was one of the lucky ones). But it’s also a separate discussion as scoring / goal of event is completely different

[jovial zinc]

This is a forum for leaving feedback to scopely. It’s not a debate forum, especially not from mods. Push back and determining what is a valid argument is not the job of mods nor is a feedback forum the place for debate. Want to debate this, try event chat. This is a place for players to leave feedback for scopely, mid pushback or debate stifles that. It’s up to scopely to decide what feedback they feel is legit, not mods or other players.

[queen kindle]

This is an open forum to provide feedback regarding events, and players are free to examine and comment on anything posted in here. The kind of one-sided communication you want is available to you in the form of surveys that they send to players.

[half narwhal]

The Opus Grande Stella skin is already 50x or more available than any other skin because of the SLB mechanic to aquire it, and how often it runs. I personally felt it was a really good thing when they came out with Return of the Mega Cube and were alternating between it and Apex between arcs.

My alliance currently hovers around 20th in power with only 25 members, and we have no issue unlocking the skin for at least two members every run of the event.

Perhaps the issue isn't the rate at which the event is run, but how individual teams are working together to get it for their members (or not working together).

[gentle prawn]

this is a trueness

[half narwhal]

How did their solution have any different of an outcome than if they had simply extended the timer on the event from 48 to 60 hours total, at reset after the first day?
All this complaining about the points carrying over when what had happened is the exact equivalent of adding time to the tail end of the original event that launched, restarting the SMS, allowing players who engaged in the first 12 hours to complete it again for more rewards, and also giving a small gift out to every player?
It's not like they're giving free points to players who were mining iso when there wasn't an exploit SLB running.
(I did complete both SMS's, but still did not place in the final SLB).

@wanton copper - Tagging you here as well to ensure you're aware of the alternate viewpoint I'm laying out.

[thin void]

Where's the event that rewards 10 MC directives?

[near quest]

Looks like they might have changed their events from the last time....there isn't one.

[thin bear]

I mean, finally get over the stink of the original Borg arc, get it developed into something that's acceptable... AND TAKE AWAY PART OF IT!

[thin void]

I spent the last borg event using all my event store tokens to be able to do a mega cube and for them to not run the replacement directive event is BS

[jovial zinc]

And no directives in gifts…we must spent event currency to do this event. So pick your event to not get a prize in essentially.

If I use my prize to buy directives I can compete in todays event

[oblique ore]

How should we please do the borg armada event without directives? Yes we could use borg warfund to buy some, but we would pay more than we can get as event reward. not logical for me...

[vagrant topaz]

Scopely can you either massively overhaul the borg event or just scrap it altogether. It is the worst thing y’all run.

[elfin leaf]

You are entitled to your opinion, even if it’s wrong.

[vagrant topaz]

Well, then what is the worst event they run?

[elfin leaf]

Oh how soon we have forgotten the Steel event from earlier this week…

[vagrant topaz]

Ohhhh hahahaha

[elfin leaf]

And that’s just a recent example.

[vagrant topaz]

Got me there

[elfin leaf]

😉

[worthy junco]

I have experienced the same here from mods and player. Reported the bug with notification (which was fixed after 2,5 months) and this will cause issues but got only answers like there is no issues just shield it is your fault.

[vernal spruce]

Erm.... Scopely....

Like... Seriously... I really like Borg in the show. I wish you guys would stop making this event aweful

[light canyon]

Borg is good, what tends to be awful is the points and how hard it is to get the armadas to do it. I spent all day son once it started trying to get the armadas and only managed to get two I’m not spending the rewards to get armadas when I need the other stuff

[rustic iris]

Exactly - having to spend the reward points to get directives is something a lot of us are just not going to do because we need other stuff in the shop, there need to be other ways to get more borg directives for these events or we just can’t/won’t do them

[light canyon]

Borg event should be ran more often like the damn swarm events which slot of usvgetvtired of doing since we hunt swarm for dailies

[fallen forge]

where is cosmic cleanup?

[tame garden]

no battlepass no cosmic

[dense hare]

There seems to be a pattern of players losing directives during this event.

Yesterday I had two regular Borg directives, I got two more from the SLB that ended today (I placed 56th), and apparently 2 + 2 = 2.

At least one othe rplayer in our alliance has similarly had 2 directives mysteriously vanish.

He had 3 yesterday, he ran one armada today, and somehow he's out of directives.

And also I gotta agree with @rustic iris, making players spend their event rewards for the directives they need to complete the event, when those event rewards are the only way to get the Infinitus skin, is low.

[rustic iris]

Related to this: I'd like to see Cosmic Cleanup run during the between-battlepass saturdays, too. I want those ship BPs

[high aurora]

Respawn rate fail 😦 My server has maybe 3 active borg megacube nodes

[normal elm]

After a point the skin is meh. Sure its pretty but at best it is a time saver. Not that much else is worth anything in the store. Offer 3 of 11 and my tune would change

[brazen oyster]

Yeah, Megacubes ...

btw, trying to do Armadas without them respawn is ehrm .... annoying.

Decrease their respawn timer substantially, please!

[dense hare]

That's certainly true, 3/11 shards would up the value quite a bit

she's currently one of the hardest officers to get, let alone promote

[normal elm]

She is one of 5 officers i am missing Tal does not count

[inner jackal]

You do know I can quit playing this game and just chat with my friends for free while I play another one right get your act together if you want my money if you don't screw them up its a parsteel rip off situation

[low flicker]

We just had a 59 quit on our server. That says a lot

[inner jackal]

With the way they are running this i bet its gonna happen more and more we had so many quit they merged ours with another server

[burnt solar]

10 friends of my in RL who played quit after sever merge citing numerous issues and they are even pay to play guys !!

Don't worry everyone will soon quit !! I'm also planning to do !! But waiting for few more events to get discovery summoning and I quit anyhow 😅

[undone idol]

Points per directive needs to be corrected for the armada events. It’s currently more cost effective to run(and win) uncommons then it is rare or epics. (14 points/directive vs 12/directive).

[viscid phoenix]

Maybe his wife found his credit card bills?

[fleet radish]

Can the new Borg Officer 👮‍♀️ can be pls added to Borg event shop?

[near talon]

This has been the worse borg event ever..... it gives you enough tokens to buy 5 mega cube directives.... so if u didn't do the event last time u have 0 chance. Complete bs..... something bad is happening at scope as all events have been messed up and terrible...... since the new person in charge. He should quit

[viscid phoenix]

Initially you have to buy the 10 MC directives in the event store. Once you have them, one of the events gives you 10 back for the next run

[vagrant topaz]

Also curious to what new person in charge you’re referring 👀

[vapid meteor]

Another 2 years and I might earn this while it’s remotely useful

Path to everything in this game is just ridiculous

[strong lagoon]

Ours go to 11

Didn’t you get the memo?

[strange patio]

Still wondering what happened to APEX, after all, when it was introduced it was to be a monthly event.

[hexed edge]

Why you changed the faction hunt scoring? Just to waste much more of our time…

[white bramble]

It’s never been changed? 👀

[hexed edge]

Sure it is, 49 hostiles gave much more points in the past

[white bramble]

What like last run? No they never did for FH.

Scoring has alway been very small for this event

[vagrant topaz]

Not entirely true

They’ve raised points for higher hostiles in the past

And forgive my memory because I’m not entirely sober, but I think this is what it should be for 49s, aka the highest scoring it’s ever been

[mortal pike]

Where on earth is APEX?? It has medals for research whereas the borg event is terrible

[ornate sundial]

What's going on with APEX? 2nd time we haven’t had it now.

[vagrant topaz]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

[hot bluff]

So I have this cool research available that increases construction and research speed, but it requires these special materials to do it and I can't find them anywhere...WHERE'S MY DARN APEX EVENTS?!? 🤣

[hasty sleet]

Seriously what did they do scrap the apex event this is complete bs

Have researches that haven’t been able to do because of this , this game is losing my interest

[fleet radish]

Pls add these offers to event shop

[vagrant topaz]

Doubt it’ll happen this run (if ever) so best save tokens if you wanna take a chance on holding out

[dense scaffold]

So I understand why switching alliances would make you not gain alliance leaderboard rewards...but I wish there was at least a short break in between ALB events. I waited until the end of the Borg event to switch alliances, so to not lose the rewards, but of course that means I sacrifice the faction hunt alliance reward.

Not a huge deal since it's just faction hunt, but I wish there was a way to switch without losing the rewards for either one.

[vagrant topaz]

Most events will allow you to switch and claim rewards just fine IF AND ONLY IF you haven’t scored any point towards the (initial) alliance events yet

Sadly you can’t know beforehand but I believe it works that way for most

[dense scaffold]

Ah, that makes sense! I was running an armada when the events switched over, so I gained a few points before switching

[white bramble]

🙈🙈🙈

Unlucky

For Borg you could get away with not scoring and switching

With FH I think so too but it’s an older event so who knows for sure 🙈

[vagrant topaz]

Haha well I think it’s worked that way since the start

So probably yes

Then again, rewards are about negligible so I’ve never bothered to pay attention

[turbid venture]

So instead of doing what Everyone asked you to do, you skip apex for the second month in a row? @wanton copper why are you skipping what everyone wanted and ignoring us? Don't give us the cookie cutter response that "our feedback is very important and I will discuss it with the team" obviously the either A = Don't care, or B =Your not saying anything. This has to change I understand your team has a job to do but we spend real money in this game and your dev teams approach needs to change

[fervent laurel]

I'm a 100% certain we had apex last month. 🤔

[vagrant topaz]

We didn’t 😬

[fervent laurel]

What did we have instead of apex? 🤔

[vagrant topaz]

We had COW, faction hunt and some weird April fool’s event

[fervent laurel]

Oh, right

Forgot about that 😔

[vagrant topaz]

That said, stop passing off your opinion as it being everyone’s. Plenty of people that dislike / hate apex and rather have something else. Me for example.

[fervent laurel]

@iron python 😂

[vagrant topaz]

Ssst don’t out me to her as another hater

It’s horrible

Only two acceptable speed mining systems on the first day (where one is active)

[fervent laurel]

I like it except for the data mining part

[vagrant topaz]

Then second and third day everyone is running these armadas all day, and if you need some yourself it’s likely called by at least three alliances the second it spawns

[fervent laurel]

It's hard but so far I've always managed to finish the event

[vagrant topaz]

Not to mention some people still haven’t gotten any armada etiquette (okay not scopely’s fault), so always people get pushed out etc

Oh yeah me too. But I just don’t like staring at a screen to hopefully be the first to call an armada

If they’d put the skin SLB on day 1&2 instead of 2&3 it would be so much less worse

Okay rant over 😂😂

There’s this thing called work I’m supposed to be doing

[iron python]

I look at Apex as a mini-vacation. Day 1, pull Khan shards with TP. Done. Take next 2 days off. 🤣

[noble kayak]

Didn't have cosmic-clean up last weekend???

[iron python]

It only runs during the arcs.

[strong lagoon]

Event Store is still running v.10.0

[wintry ember]

So a ops 33 is in the same lat rush as a 35 who can build the feesha. Does scopley smoke crack before deciding rank brackets?

[white bramble]

Your in the bracket without Feesha’s

Ops 35 with Feesha is a different bracket

[fresh frost]

Feesha ownership is the trigger to switch sms and slb.
Just hit opc clat for mega points, if you don't have arrock for a regular miner

[craggy urchin]

We've had this event for a few months now, and personally I despise this event. To the point where I have trouble even bringing myself to actually engage with it. I have a Feesha, but no Arrock so the event takes hours to complete and that's my main complaint.
It now takes me 8 nodes at 60k a piece to complete this event...that's 4 hours of mining, not counting warp time, and time to find and secure a new node for every load...overall the event has turned Mondays into a heavy day in game, following swarm Sundays, another heavy game day, and often following cosmis cleanup, another heavy game day.
This event takes too long to complete for a T1 Feesha with no Arrock. If there were a way to source Arrock or Feesha parts I would feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. But this event in its current form is really just burdensome in terms of time required to complete.

[vagrant topaz]

Yes pls source the rare ferengi

[fading venture]

For the faction hunt event, I know that its grind heavy already, especially if you do all 3, but with independent credits already so hard to source and in much much smaller amounts than fed, rom or klingon availability, I feel that faction hunt would benefit a little from an update to include an independent faction. I know this would take some work to implement since the independent factions are rogue and augment and they don't share anything in their respective stores besides data. heck most people have augments maxed before they hit 30, so rep gains would be harder to manage but an independent rep token you can exchange in the respective stores along with independent credits as rewards or even officer shards would be feasible, especially if thebofficer shards were for some of the more obscure officers. Anyway, just a thought.

[wanton copper]

Totally understand your frustrations and just to give a little insight on things.

Events are generally planned out a ways in advance, but sometimes issues come up and have to be replaced. I want you to know that your feedback has been heard by me and if I get any updates on Apex events I'll let everyone know.

[halcyon kite]

A few months? Try two years, give or take.

[dry geyser]

I see cartoon characters in the new splash screen.. Scopely didn't get enough backlash yet or they don't care what the people who pay for their game want?

[cerulean trail]

Lots of players love them. It's canon. Get over it.

[wicked pike]

Yeah get them CaRtOoNs out of my VeRy SiRiUs GaMe AbOuT PeOpLe In SpAcE 😆

le sigh

People moaning about lower decks never ceases to amuse me

[gritty bobcat]

Lower Decks is great

so well written, such a great show

[dry geyser]

"Canon" my backside.. I for one will never accept Lower Decks as canon, and I'd bet dimes to donuts more people dislike it in this game than like it.

[cerulean trail]

You don't need to accept it, it's factual. There's no opinion to be had on factual, provable statements.

[dry geyser]

How is the character named "Badgy" even close to canon? Maybe as Patrick the starfish' brother on SpongeBob SquarePants, but that's about as close as it gets and officially removes the whole cartoon series as canon.

It's like bringing a Mario Cart to GTA and calling it canon

[gritty void]

"Officially" Below Decks is canon. You may not like the show or want it to be canon, I feel the same way about Discovery but our opinions on what should, and shouldn't be, canon don't matter. Canon is determined by Paramount, not the fanbase.

[dry geyser]

CBS would package poop and sell it to you as Star Trek canon if you would just listen to them too..

And if you think Lower Decks is canon, you did buy their packaged poop...

[fluid lotus]

Who else do you listen to if not the people who own the IP?

Feel free to buy it off the owner and take it in your own direction 🤷‍♂️

[wicked pike]

Technically he's a holo so as much "real" as EMH 🤔

[dry geyser]

I mean if they told everyone to jump off a bridge, some people would actually listen to them 🤷‍♂️🤣

[civic nimbus]

Star trek doesn't have Canon if they did discovery wouldn't be a show

[fresh frost]

he's a teaching hologram

[fresh frost]

So you're saying that it is trek, because anything goes? 😄

[north path]

Is this another number issue, or do we get more then 1 trophy per sms

[vagrant topaz]

Read the title/description - it’s a server event

[north path]

O, didnt notice that

[past fossil]

Tis for your entire server, let’s wait and see all the events that go along with it and scoring before judging one screenshot

[fresh frost]

They never do 🙂

[north path]

Never seen a server wide event, kind of excited to see how it goes

[fresh frost]

fast if you're a new/newly merged server... slower otherwise

[north path]

I like the idea of a cooperative server event

Instead of just powering up the top alliances

[vagrant topaz]

They’ve been around for a couple months. Heavily server dependent indeed

[fresh frost]

the early ones had different milestones by server though, seemingly tied to population some how... not sure if that's still the case

oh, looks like it is

we have a top line of 7400 😐

Lets hope the merge is good for something other than tension and no mining spots 😄

[vagrant topaz]

We’ve always easily completed I think

But would be frustrating if you can’t, completely out of your (alliance’s) control

But I guess to some extent same goes for apex

[fresh frost]

yeah

Some of the very early ones weren't completable - but then some of the early ones had an auto-complete clause in the scoring as well (e.g. 1st spot in SLB X granted full points for the IMS event)

[vagrant topaz]

Oh yeah true

Pretty nice mechanic to gather some data that was

[fresh frost]

I think they worked out their balancing for activity better the last few months

[fresh frost]

Made for entertaining reading here as well with people coming in and saying it was never going to be completed, and disbelieving what the "1st Place in...." meant for it

[vagrant topaz]

😂😂

Reading like that is the only reason I’m here

[lament cipher]

we have had server events where we have completed it in a day

[normal trail]

bruh fix the event store

jaylah shards g4 uc ship bp

[sharp cave]

there's an event yo uget points for just straight up buying packs? what the heck scopely????

not even trying to hide it anymore

[vagrant topaz]

You could also just read the event where it tells you you don’t need to in order to finish…

[turbid cloak]

Why are there no ship skins i the event store. They are so hard to come by. @sterile wharf can you ask to get them added.

[sharp cave]

@vagrant topaz reading's hard, yo. and i like overreacting to P2W features

[vagrant topaz]

Apparently 😂

[wanton copper]

I can add that feedback =]

[vagrant topaz]

The event store looks phenomenal

[unique briar]

Absolutely desperate for the Meridian refit. Like a plum, opted for Jaylah instead last event store. Please can you add it? Pretty please 🙏

[unique briar]

Credit where its due though, its an awesome store

[azure bone]

I'm sorry, is one of the events literally "buy stuff"?!

[vagrant topaz]

😂

[vagrant topaz]

A huge improvement indeed

[graceful otter]

Why aren't there any Franklin blueprints in the event store? There is a photo of it there but blueprints.

[fervent laurel]

I like how I got to fight against ops 35 as ops 33 in Exchange leaderboards. Ops 35 having access to 2nd beta and 1st gamma path. Perfectly balanced event 🤣

[patent gazelle]

@eco @scopley do you consider the lack of epic eclipse armadas a problem? I do. Other players do. You expect people to buy packs to run epic armadas and sit around half the like we don't have lives to live just waiting for one to pop up.

[wanton copper]

Happy to bring it up! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Do you have an idea that you think would be better for this number?

I think (I didn't ask it's just my idea) was to give ships all similar amounts so that it didn't seem like one was better over the other

because everyone has their own value on what ship is important to them

BUT AGAIN that's just what I think, I can ask if you'd like to verify that =]

[muted granite]

Event Store > Ship Blueprints!
I can finally get a NorthStar!
I know I have no use for it but I really want to be able to collect all ships (within reason) and hated seeing the nearly complete amount of BP's just sitting there. but now i see the Separatist D3 and wonder if i'll be able to get it fully in this event or if i'm just going to set myself up for sadness 😛

[wanton copper]

I got info! Talked with the team and we wanted to try out increments of 5 for most ships this time to make it easier to purchase. For the future we're going to look at the amounts based on blueprints needed

Totally get that having something lingering can be frustrating if it's just sitting there

Appreciate the into Trager

[vagrant topaz]

Just as an option, you could do 30 this time. That way no surplus stays next arc

Yep. If some leftover good to keep it in the back of your mind

[glossy otter]

@wanton copper Any chance the Dev's could add Franklin A Warp Parts in the Event store? I have a 2nd Franklin-A i'd like to upgrade to the same level as my 1st one...

[wanton copper]

Happy to ask! Can't promise any additions but always willing to have a conversation about it

[lilac prairie]

Is the price for Stella blueprints correct? 19k per 5 bps seems very overpriced compared to earlier events

[wanton copper]

Should already be adjusted! Please refresh your app if you aren't seeing it

[lilac prairie]

Thanks, will refresh 🙂

[wanton copper]

Mind letting me know if it's adjusted or not after you refresh the app?

[lilac prairie]

It's definatly good now, 3.8k per 5, thanks alot

[mild coyote]

Maybe we need more eclipse systems? I mean, it can't be good if this literally happens all the time in events like today's 😅

[wanton copper]

Any time! Thanks for double checking on it Moyalan

[north ledge]

I see it also corrected now, 3800 per 5 BPs

[wanton copper]

Thank you Sandra! Good to see you again

[glossy otter]

Thank you...

[keen dawn]

Points are not registering for the BattlePass event.

[quartz creek]

Worms not scoring for BP.

[charred hill]

Same problem

[quartz creek]

@wanton copper 👆

[wanton copper]

Checking right now

Thanks everyone, could just be a scoring delay, but better safe than sorry

Please let me know if they show up in a little bit

[scenic flint]

OK, so the pause on scoring isn't just me. Noted

Oh wait. I'm no longer scoring in the Icarus factor SLB event

[restive aspen]

Eclipse hostile damage also not registering towards event milestones on 192 @wanton copper

[wanton copper]

Getting a lot of feedback on event scoring. I'm talking with the team and please let me know if it starts counting again if you don't mind

[quartz creek]

It just gave me my first hit.

[wanton copper]

First hit as in counted it?

Just want to confirm

[bleak root]

my worm sms has about a 10 minute delay for points

[restive aspen]

Just came through. Ty!

[wanton copper]

Awesome

Thank you SO much for the upate.

[scenic flint]

Icarus event is scoring on a delay as well

[quartz creek]

@wanton copper Yes, the banners aren't popping g up after kills so we have no idea where we are at.

[magic obsidian]

Still no points for Apex Anarchy event for me

on server 43

[dusty pivot]

Server 32 event for hostiles not working

[magic obsidian]

done 2 armadas and a bunch of hostile kills

[wanton copper]

Keep me posted, I'm glad it's counting but I can understand how frustrating it is when it doesn't give you real time updates

[neat nymph]

yeah server 60 scoring is off also

[bleak root]

thank you for your hard work

[wanton copper]

Thank YOU all for letting me know so I could ask about it for everyone

[magic obsidian]

Thanks Eco

[neat nymph]

yeah looks like the scoring for the complete new missions SMS did not trigger also

[steady stratus]

getting points for uc and rare eclipse armadas but not the epic ones : EU127

[prisma remnant]

Looks like the Battlepass doomsday worms event isnt scoring at all

[unborn laurel]

Always something points lagged yesterday for a bit. Should have none more was to come

[neat nymph]

Yeah knwown issue and Eco is looking into it. IF you could just post what server you are on and that may help things

[rare silo]

Server 120 no longer seeing points increase on LB

[prisma remnant]

server 53

[hasty sleet]

Server 51 events are stuck at same points as 1 hr an 1/2 ago and battle pass points didn’t contribute to bp milestones

[lilac linden]

Server 176 have the same problem.

[quartz creek]

56 same as well.

[outer narwhal]

163 same as well 🤮

[rancid canyon]

I'm getting no points for killing eclipse hostiles.

[keen dawn]

This scoring lag nonsense happens on at least one event in an arc. You’d think they’d have it sorted by now

[raven heron]

Event is terrible as the update has caused scoring delays…yet again.

[neat nymph]

server 60 looks like some of the scoring is starting to catch up

[wanton copper]

That is awesome to hear, do you have an estimate on how long it took by chance?

[radiant carbon]

Doomsday still not scoring

[neat nymph]

looks like it was about 20 minutes for me

[quartz creek]

@wanton copper The Battlepass event scoring is trickling in, but there is also a delay in the event updating the actual Battlepass as well.

[wanton copper]

Understood, could you let me know if those pop up as well? Wanna just verify on all fronts if possible

[radiant carbon]

Server73

[wanton copper]

Community members are saying it's taking about 15-20 mins to come in

Please keep me posted if that's not the case

Points seem to be slowly coming in for a lot of community members

[quartz creek]

@wanton copper Thank you for willingly joining the circus, and for everything you're doing to help us.

[wanton copper]

It's what I'm here for, I appreciate all you willing to work with me and provide updates on what's going on

Thanks for the info, could you let me know if it posts to the BP numbers?

It can take 15-25 mins it seems from most community reports

[quartz creek]

@wanton copper Battlepass track just updated.

[wanton copper]

Amazing

[prisma remnant]

now if you could fix the transistion from icarus/daily events to subevent back to dailiy/icarus with out us going all the way back out to the main event list.

was working over the weekend now it is broke again

[wanton copper]

This is something a few different community members have brought up and the team is investigating. Thanks Krull

[prisma remnant]

Np @wanton copper

[night halo]

I have found many leaderboards to have too many levels per bracket. I think it should be limited to two level groups. Being level 25 competing on a leaderboard against level 29s is impossible.

[opaque bolt]

😂….. good luck 👍

[glossy otter]

Just checked the store and Mk2 versions for the franklin A are showing now. Hopefully the suggestion made it to the devs who made it happen. Thanks!

[austere mortar]

Great event store. If I could make two suggestions, it would be to please add the Stella and vidar skins to it. Even expensive and capped low. 😂 Please!! Maybe even Franklin BPs? 😜

[mild glacier]

Why does scopely keep insisting on cramming the entire server into a single system for events?

Maybe consider that everyone will always go for the highest point value possible and if that only exists in a single system then you probably shouldn’t do that because it excludes 99.999% of the player base from even participating.

[jovial zinc]

@wanton copper scopely instituted a 1500 hostile limit per day to limit bots. However, events like todays Icarus slb mean that now I’m earning nothing for hostile kills in order to compete for a slb prize. Can we find a new work around to the bot issue because, as a true grinder, I run up against the 1500 limit per day with regularity

This also means that I earn no epic armada directives for the muddmadas, even for those I light since I no longer get chest drops. Seems very unfair to punish high performers in this manner

[obtuse wraith]

People are hogging the eclipse spawns for eclipse 40s and 39s, They only spawn in two systems. It’s like the borg 33 system all over again.

Sometimes the muddmada systems are clean of hostiles and muddmadas. People hunt hostiles waiting for muddmada to respawn or waiting on the 5min timer of the muddmada.

Each eclipse hostile kill 39 is 10M points 40 is 11M. You kill and epic mudmadda for 30M in 5 min, you kill at least 10 hostiles 39-40s in that time. Rack up 100M points. You can probably do 4-5 kills per minute and reach 250M points in 5minutes. Event has been running for 6-7h and the SLB in my server and bracket is lead by a player with 13B points. Thats 3M points per minute assuming solid grind. Probably this player did less time.

It is hard to grind those directives, it is cake to grind the hostiles and the return (points) is more than 8 times higher.

In my opinion the points hostiles vs muddmada are way out balance. Do you want to promote solo engagement or social engagement? Do you want to have a two crowded systems doing pve on a never-ending eclipse hostiles or use directives to “modulate”/manage the demand?

Please decide which one and update the scoring balance accordingly.

[swift rain]

The lag in exchange space is absolutely terrible. Been complaining about it all day in ac and gc. Opened a ticket because lag ate my armada. High ticket volume, huh, I wonder what it could be from?

[white bramble]

It’s 2000 kills now

[jovial zinc]

Still very easy to exceed in an event like Icarus slb

[white bramble]

🤔 maybe I haven’t had the issue yet

[vagrant topaz]

I think it's an issue if you grind with 2 or 3 ships

[white bramble]

I have had the issue a few times but only if I was doing a heavy faction or swarm grind.

[nimble dragon]

You have an endless stream of content available to create truly epic stories, ships, etc. and you give us a “best of “. The content from those arcs wasn’t your best stuff either.

[white bramble]

Tbh it is better than a new arc with nothing interesting about it. Just my thoughts anyways ☺️

[sage field]

Yes, i think you are right. But a lot players that joined this Game after the TNG, Discory Arc doesnt had a chance to get the nice Avatars and the other nice content. But maybe is will be better to put all the "Old" Content behind some token and the Player can choose which content they want, like the Dabo Store

[unique briar]

@wanton copper Many thanks for arranging the addition of the Meridian Refit 🍻🖖

[ocean prism]

Anyone else seeing German text when your game is in english for the latest icarus factor event?

[hybrid notch]

yes, event text for Exocomp is in German.. it also didn't give me credit for the exocomp (possibly lag though... as seems to often be the case at server reset)

[mild glacier]

Next time try running the eclipse event as kills instead of damage so that people can spread out and kill any eclipse hostile rather than piling all into one system.

[desert nimbus]

whats the point of requiring a different faction ship to farm points? im on a newer server and need fed credits, but to do the mission for fed credits i need a romulan ship, which i dont have

so this officer exchange program is useless for people like me

[polar stream]

So icarus factor event in a language i can’t read. Guess that scopely way of making sure i can’t do it

[hybrid notch]

21 minutes in and no credit for my exocomp being used in reserch SMS

[desert nimbus]

people on newer servers can't complete the "officer exchange program" because you need a ship of a different faction to complete the one for the credits you want, it's a bad policy for an event requiring event tokens, as people would have bought them and now unable to use them

so it's an event screwing over both f2p and spenders on newer servers

[uncut sentinel]

@wanton copper I think we need some guidance on the non English EMEA language used here for this event...

Google Translate says German

[limber marsh]

They don't count anyway, no matter what language

[dark horizon]

they are in BP milestone 2

but then again, with all the past arcs ticketed events being crap, i have 140 of them

[sullen badger]

Yeah well this still stinks as Scopely continues to screw F2P players over... I don't buy packs or Battlepass.

[hollow violet]

I did yesterday's BP event and have MS2 unlocked, so what's the issue here? It's in the free track.

Literally nothing even close to screwing F2P

[dark horizon]

im doing all 3 events with 5 ships and i can say it is damn slow to advance, esp with only one romulan ship that i have

[sullen badger]

Ok, I retract my statement... but I still believe the game is glitchy AF... I already hit collect on these yesterday

[dark horizon]

collect them again 😛

[hollow violet]

Bugs, sure. But that's a different topic

[white bramble]

Collect them again you will just get a blank screen and have to restart game and then they are claimed

[sullen badger]

So after already hitting collect, this is what I saw before looking back at the Battlepass and I was like what the...?

Sorry guys...

[white bramble]

Do we need to have this discussion again after we had it last arc?

[sullen badger]

No, but apparently Scopely HQ needs to have the discussion about not adding new bugs while trying to introduce or fix things

But I feel that that will be a reoccurring discussion as Scopely is not a development company.

[halcyon walrus]

i mean half the event is either cross server or solo/alliance leaderboard, and even if thats the case, most of these solo leaderboards pay in event shop currency which they give out linearly decreseasing per 1st, 2nd, 3-5, 5-10 spot

[runic marlin]

Yet another event that is not working. I tried two next gen as captain and not one point towards the event

[scenic flint]

Is cadet training scoring for other players?

[dark horizon]

yes

[white bramble]

This does not connect to my comment. We are talking about distribution of tickets

[runic marlin]

No

[white bramble]

If it doesn’t then it’s lag

[halcyon walrus]

ah are they, didnt see that point

[scenic flint]

I'm using Beverly Crusher which should work right? I'm trying to double dip with officer exchange

[runic marlin]

Iv competed the other events sowhere is the lag

[dense hare]

I just hit two lvl39 Klingon veteran patrols, with my Bortas, with Bev Crusher (captain), Geordi, and Worf. Per the event descriptions this SHOULD have scored in both Cadet Training and Federation Officer Exchange. It scored in neither.

[runic marlin]

Iv i’ve tried Riker and and Beverly and nothing

[white bramble]

Different officers for both. 1 is cadets the other is the Rare/epic versions

[scenic flint]

Also, I think Research Rumble SLB stop scoring

[halcyon walrus]

best is to either hit with Next gen Geordi captain , next get Beverly and chen

or either Cadet Uhura Cadet mccoy and Chen

[runic marlin]

So what about me not scoring any points when I competed the other events with Riker as captain and not one point for the Cadet training program-SMS event???

[scenic flint]

Oh, you need the "Next Gen" in the officer's name for it to work

[dense hare]

So, Next Gen Bev, not Next Gen Bev. Clear as mud, Scopely.

[runic marlin]

I even tried with a Beverley Crusher and nothing

[white bramble]

Lag or using wrong officers. Not going to sit here studying the issue.

[runic marlin]

So even though Beverly crusher was in the next generation series she’s not Next gen 🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣

[dense hare]

Argh, and I misread which ship I'm supposed to use for Officer Exchange

which is why the officer exchange didn't score

[analog flax]

Beverly Crusher - TNG Crew != Next Gen Crusher - NEXT GEN

[dense hare]

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll kiss ten wasted tickets goodbye, I don't have any Romulan ships

[runic marlin]

I’m using the right crew and it’s not lag. Try again 😂😂😂

[hot bluff]

Wow, we complained about ticketed rewards being nerfed and Scopely replied, "Hold my beer!" One epic officer and 1-2 days worth of faction credits?!? That's not even in the same ballpark. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

[remote snow]

So as someone who has patiently waited for an event store to include epic ship skins again I am extremely disappointed that they are not included again. I have 49 shards to unlock my enterprise skin which now seems like a waste to have purchased because you folks haven't put it in the last few event stores. I also know that someone is going to say that the amalgam is the answer, but as someone who actually purchased that ship the first month it was offered, I have only been able to get enough shard trackers for 8 of the skin shards.

This is absolutely ridicuolous as it has been months. I respectfully request that all of the possible ship skins be added to this event store.

[inner void]

We are “warned” to make sure we have the ships to participate in the Officer Exchange, and they are specific about which officers to use, but vague about the ships! 10 tickets wasted trying to use Nero as Captain of the Separatist D3, since apparently the red paint makes them cease to be “Klingon” ships! Not so much mad about being able to do that event, but I am mad about the waste of 10 tickets!

[distant fiber]

It will be impossible for people below level 25 to complete the new mission event. You only receive enough mission keys to unlock the Gods event after the new mission event has ended.

[ancient jay]

Can you please put levels on ALL of the missions in the event store? You have MANY new servers opened with lower level players who can't do a number of those missions in there.

On that note, gear some things with that in mind. You have new servers with folks sub lv 30 and sub lv 20 out there. Many of these events skew heavily high level and are disappointing/boring for lower level players.

[steep geyser]

Me either

[vagrant topaz]

But this is in the event description right?

[solid lodge]

SInce this is an officer exchange, they should have done something where each faction would loan us a ship for the day even if it was just a 2 star or something. People that are not faction locked dont have the ability to do more then 1 of these for the most part.

[dark horizon]

Are these Exchange Program events supposed to have Heroic in their names as well.... they sure will take all day to complete

[fervent laurel]

Do exchange hostiles, easiest event ever

[dark horizon]

dont think i have a klingon ship big enough to take on those - will give it a try

[inner void]

“Like Discovery” and “hijacked ships” are a bit vague. They went to the trouble to list with specificity the officers to be used, they should have just specifically named the ships as well, it would’ve saved a lot of people a waste of tickets.

[fervent laurel]

It can't get more specific but "only faction warships from the faction store" can it?

[fervent laurel]

You don't need positive faction rep to do the event.

[inner void]

Yes it can. Mayflower, Saladin, Intrepid, Enterprise, D3, Bortas, B’Rel, D4, Legionary, Centurion, Gladius, Augur. Simple and straightforward.

[solid lodge]

right but you do need positive rep to get the ships

[fervent laurel]

No.

[solid lodge]

rigth you can farm them from chests, at about 1 to 5 BP per day

[fervent laurel]

I grinded a whole Bortas in a week.

Without hitting hostile limit

[fervent laurel]

It's the exact same as "only faction warships from the faction store" but more complicated

[inner void]

No, it’s not the “exact same,” it is spelled out the same way the exchange officers are spelled out, by name, with specificity.

[fervent laurel]

The officers are limited to 3 of a specific faction
In this event the ships are free to choose, as long as they are from the faction store

[inner void]

When you have to put caveats like “as long as,” then it’s neither specific nor “free to choose.”

[solid lodge]

@fervent laurel So I'm at 47/100 Botas BP's, which system should I be farming in to get the rest before the event ends tomorrow.

[fervent laurel]

You wont finish it till tomorrow because of the hostile limit. But I got a lot of Bortas in jiwupuh and Mempa

[meager cradle]

Thanks for finally making some events that my people can actually participate in.

[native basalt]

<@&509691205798592532> any chance can u ask scopely to sort their game out ive had to restart my game both on pc and ipad due to game not working

[fickle dirge]

What's with the lower level player hate?

Looking at the event store on my main account (LV19) account and for the officers, I only have tokens. I leveled up a second account to LV20, and there I have the Ferengi and Lower Deck officers.
-There is NO reason for the 'Gate Keeping' when it comes to officers. All the players that take part and earn the event currency (3D Chess Piece), should have the same chance to get the officers.

Ship Blueprints and parts I can semi understand, but considering I already have the needed BP to make a Legionary and clocking unlocked for it.. More ship BPS should be available. Even if a player can't build the ship(s) yet. It gives them a reason to want to level up, since they have something to look forward too.
-Sadly the part I need to tier up my Franklin (Warp Relay) isn't in the LV 19 Event store, but it is in the LV 20 store. What's worse is my LV 20 account doesn't have the Franklin yet... So yes, I'm a little sour on this one.

'Resources and Materials' and 'Special Currencies' should also be available to everyone. Yes, Players might not be able to use everything. But it does give them a chance to stockpile a bit for what they'll need down the road.

[stone quarry]

Does not specify which Crusher as capt and didn't score points. Thanks for the clarity Scopley 😂😂

[queen kindle]

You'll need to use the crusher from the Next Gen group, it's gray Bev btw

[wanton copper]

This is something I'm more than happy to ask about and I'm really sorry that you're frustrated. I appreciate you letting me know.

[wanton copper]

I'm more than happy to ask if that would be possible. Thanks for the info Ms_Chaotica

[frail bridge]

@wanton copper did they buff the below deck officers

[cunning warren]

Who created the scoring system for the officer exchange event? It’s taking hours upon hours to complete. This is absolutely nonsense. This entire days events are terrible piled on top of two straight months of really crappy battle pass.

[quaint rover]

The Franklin parts are given to you based on your level/building level. The ones in the event store are only a way to get free parts for a second one.

[fickle dirge]

Again I can understand that to a point... But when the LV 20 account that doesn't have the ship can get more parts then the LV19 account which has it, something is broken.

Like I said, it shouldn't matter what level you're at. You should be given the same chance to earn event currency as everyone else, and be able to spend it the same way.

Yes I might not be able to build SHIP-A/B/C. But at lest let me use the event currency so I can bank the BP or parts for it later.

The whole only being able to earn chest tokens, and not being able to get Officer shards is beyond crap.

[quaint rover]

It's just how it's intended though. I'm level 42 and I can't upgrade my Franklin A until I hit 43 because that's when I unlock a part. The only parts for the Franklin/A in the event store are the ones I've already unlocked. If I buy the $100 parts pack it will only include the ones I've unlocked. It's just how you're intended to progress with it. I do wanna point out that you'll get the part for free once you've built the requisite building. The extra parts are only useful if you've acquired a second Franklin and need to get more.

I understand about the officers. Though, IIRC, your ultra chest should have fewer officers in it then higher levels. Those officers might not seem as useful as the officers that get promoted in events ans the event store but they're still useful. You'll still want to have a bunch of maxed officers later on to fill up ship stats and go on away missions.

[queen kindle]

There are a couple ways to increase the speed you earn pts. Some players are using Stellas to ferry their officers to pt-land. And even easier are separatist bosses.

[fickle dirge]

The sale packs are crap and poorly thought out. I still have packs for the starting 'Prime' researches, even though I already got them done.

As for the ship parts being gate kept behind a level... That's just Player Level Hate. If someone can build a ship, they should be able to earn the needed rss and ship parts to upgrade it. Never mind in a Event store.

I have more then enough officers for my Away Team Missions, and leveling them isn't an issue. Again not having the option to get the Ferengi and/or Lower Deck officers is dumb. All players should be given the same options to earn them.

[elfin shard]

What's with this event?

I am able to get about 4M per run before my ship is dead and I need to travel another 7 minutes to hit them again.

I am level 38, a friend is level 37 and has to kill less than 9M.

The balance seems a little off, there isn't much difference between the levels to warrant such a jump.

[queen kindle]

#💬-events-feedback message

[vagrant topaz]

Yep. Event is quite easy. Use Stella on eclipse traders or Franklin for daily swarm

[elfin shard]

With cadet uhura as captain?

[queen kindle]

NG earns more pts

I used NG laforge, blue bev, kuron for my sep boss run

Lower power players might want Chen instead of Kuron though

[vagrant topaz]

Huh. Nice strategy. Hadn’t considered

Then again seeing as I took Chen on a jelly to pummel 39 swarm I hadn’t considered anything 😂

[elfin shard]

Lol

Sadly I am a bit behind the curve on ships, so I can't brute force it.

[queen kindle]

You'd have to be seriously behind if you can't handle sep bosses at 38

[elfin shard]

Can you point me to a sep bos system?

[vagrant topaz]

Pareleon

[elfin shard]

Cheers

[queen kindle]

I used Constina, system's bugged, but you can still attack by hitting where the attack button would be

[elfin shard]

I will update you on how this goes, if terrible, I will be playing all day 🤣

[queen kindle]

Probably finish before the hour, gl

[elfin shard]

Cheers guys! 3.5M per ship and took barely a scratch! 😬

Aaaaaaannnnnnd done 🤣

Cheers @queen kindle & @vagrant topaz

[last pendant]

Are the days right? A ticket event is running. May 5

[vagrant topaz]

Different ticket event, scroll up

[last pendant]

I don't see any other events with tickets

[queen kindle]

Officer Exchange Program is a ticketed MS event

[last pendant]

thx 👍

[idle epoch]

I will say that so far this BP looks decent. SCOPELY we want to see it like that every month!

[snow yarrow]

Can we get some ship skins added to the event store? G4 mining skins and such?

[spring marlin]

Its 2k now ... silently applied

I swear I saw Vidar SKIN in the Event Store yesterday afternoon, but now it is NOT there ...```
Anyone else having the same issue? Why it has been removed?

[brisk brook]

SLB event with a ship what is OPS locked at tiering ... gg scopely

[pure hamlet]

So no points details for lvl 40 thru 44?

[queen kindle]

Common display issue, the hostiles still scored in past events. Have you tried hitting one of the missing levels?

[pure hamlet]

Not yet. Focused on the swarm event first.

[tawny hedge]

Not including Swarm level 15 or some other alternative method on Icarus really screwed us over that are on a new server. The only people that can reliably kill Swarm 18s are those that heavily dropped coin.

[peak latch]

Hey Scopely, any possibility of adding the last set of missions from the previous Arc? I just missed that milestone. While we are at it, I missed the Cardassian Arc because STFC game play threw me into depression and I checked out for a month. Any chance of getting the missions from that Arc?
Cheers for listening.🙂

[dense lion]

I’m 44 and up against 47 who have insanely higher power Frank-A. This SLB bracket is very strange and not particularly well thought out.

[blazing shadow]

Level 19 should still have the ability to buy the shards. I think it is unfair not to allow them to have access to them in the event store

[jovial zinc]

Ok, but on a day like today again, with Icarus swarm slb it’ll be easy to exceed 2k hostiles. Then later when I do my daily’s, I won’t earn rep or loot for doing daily’s. There must be a better, fairer way to combat bots.

[stoic oracle]

It seems that the Si vis event for Ops 39+ players will now continuously only run once per month instead of three times as before. I understand there’s money to make with the new Feesha miner and its extensions/skins/add-ons, but still am sad that the recurrence of such valuable and rewarding events has been reduced as a consequence.

[spring marlin]

Correct, unfortunately this is the current status. We have to live with it. It happened to me as well during slb

[tough flare]

The Icarus Swarm SLB event is a pure joke - top 5 leaders are lvl 39 while I am lvl 35. Just for the sake of assumption, I have the same lvl franklin as a lvl 39 (obviously not..). Still the differences in research are HUGE!! When is this fair??

[brave flicker]

Exactly the same issue I've got, its pointless even trying to get on the leaderboard.

[hidden needle]

at hat ops lvl should i see G4 ships in the event store? <@&509691205798592532>

[hidden needle]

I can relate... has the same issue during the very first XSLB... the top ones usually have more thank one ship.

[lethal zodiac]

Feedback: how the heck is this fair Scopely. I’m ops 35, the top of this SLB is level 39

I only just got access to Franklin A (haven’t got one yet). Level 39 can access level 41 swarm. Totally impossible to compete

So for me that’s at least 1000 level 35 swarm to get anywhere near top 3

[blazing shadow]

@wanton copper why can level 19 not buy shard in the epic store during this arc? If they were in the actual store I would be able to buy them same as anyone else no matter what level I was, so why lock it to a certain level for the event store?

[wanton copper]

More than happy to forward the feedback for you Ogkor

[jovial zinc]

@wanton copper once again I’m competing in a slb and get caught up in the hostile limit. Now I’m trying to win an event & I don’t earn frequency modulators any longer. I’m grinding and paying repairs and not getting loot or chests. This has happened in each slb of this arc so far. There must be a better way to combat cheaters (bots) than penalize your most active & engaged players.

[wanton copper]

Totally can understand why this would be frustrating with you and I'm more than happy to have a discussion about internally. Thanks again for letting me know

[topaz bone]

@wanton copper Feedback:
The brackets on these events ruin the spirit of competition, and the joy of the game. There is no sense in even attempting to compete when placed in brackets where players are incapable of accessing much higher level hostiles due to level gated ship requirements.

I understand the purpose is to (hopefully) drive people to upgrade faster, but it does not have this effect on the majority of players. Instead, there is a net negative result. It turns players who would generally be active into frustrated individuals, who turn off the game after completing the SMS. The cost just to compete via upgrading is not worth the measly reward of some event currency, or the larger overall headache of even worse brackets that lay ahead.

This bracketing system is why players feel compelled to sit at a particular ops level and never progress, just to remain remotely competitive. Again, it completely ruins the spirit of competition, and the joy of the game. Rather than allowing these brackets to exist for ops gated ships, adjust the rewards and create more brackets for these specific event types. You will see a higher engagement rate among your players, and overall a better player response.

You all did well with the Iso mining event, ensuring that ops 39 were in a separate bracket from those below them as you can't take the meridian past T5 until then. Why not do the same with Swarm events?

[jovial zinc]

I’m guessing it’s because at 35 the frank a comes into play and they don’t want to pool frank a’s with non frank @ players

[queen kindle]

If they adjusted the rewards and reduced the sizes of brackets, would you even put effort into competing in it? Imagine quartering the rewards in your slb along with the requisite reduction in competitors. Sure there'll be more bracket winners, but I can't see an event that's worth grinding for scraps.

I don't see bracket sizes as the reason for campers, they camp because the rewards are good. No good slb rewards = no reason to be strong in your level and no reason to hoard, you'd just move on upward at a smoother pace.

[vagrant topaz]

So cross server SLBs! You can make brackets holding same amount of people but tighter in ops lvl

[topaz bone]

Yes, I would.

These events just create resentment among the player base.

[queen kindle]

I look forward to the reception of the xslb event this weekend. It'll address the more salient point of segmentation groupings with a subset having extreme advantages over the rest of their cohort.

[topaz bone]

And the only reason the rewards are good for campers is because they know they can win in their brackets.

They won't be able to win if they move up a level into a new bracket, where the range is so wide that it will take them months to be remotely competitive.

Why move up and get nothing for it if you can stay where you are and dominate?

[queen kindle]

I see the Icarus slb with only 12k chess pieces now. How many hours would you instead grind if the rewards were 3k? ie. half an epic shard

[topaz bone]

It's not about the chess pieces. It's about the medals for the ALB.

[queen kindle]

Which are also quartered.

[topaz bone]

I am grinding just to get into the top 10 so our alliance can continue to stay #1.

It would be quartered for everyone, so the effect would be the same.

And at least then it would be fun to compete against players.

[queen kindle]

No, it'd be quartered for SLBs only. The rest doesn't have to be

[topaz bone]

To know that the competition is an actual competition.

I mean for all brackets it would be quartered. meaning more players would be able to compete for the same rewards.

It would have the same overall effect, but more players would engage in the event.

How it is set up currently, the ship is ops gated, meaning that unless I somehow jump up a few ops levels overnight, and then magically do all the research in a few hours, I stand 0 chance of being competitive.

It is annoyingly frustrating, and it does not encourage me to move up faster.

And I spend generously, but things like this make me not want to spend at all.

[queen kindle]

Looking back at it, you're still outperforming those in your level if you put in effort. You won't win, but your effort is still rewarded. Why is not this lower placing just as good to you as winning a smaller bracket?

[topaz bone]

That generous spending is why I don't worry about the chess pieces. I will be buying the maximum amount of those packs later in the arc. It is about the competition. The glory. The ability to have fun in the process.

Read above.

It is no fun competing when you know you will lose.

Again, it removes the actual competition from the event.

The joy of the game.

[queen kindle]

It's like winning small prizes of no note vs substantial ones with meaning.

[topaz bone]

It's not about the prizes.

It's about the competition itself.

About the ability to actually compete.

When there is no ability to compete, there is no point in the competition.

The joy is sucked out of the game.

There is no fun when you know you stand no chance of competing in a competition.

[queen kindle]

You can still compete, you just won't win. Outcompeting those in your level will lead to more pts for your ALB

[topaz bone]

Not when you can't even get in the winning places due to the bracket.

So again, there is no competition.

[queen kindle]

What place are you now?

[topaz bone]

50th.

With 45k points.

[queen kindle]

What is 25th?

[topaz bone]

183k.

[queen kindle]

What level are you?

[queen kindle]

And how many 35-37s are in top 25?

[topaz bone]

0

It's all 39s.

Where is the fun in that?

What is the point in even trying?

It would take copious hours of grinding to even catch them, and then all they have to do is one run and they'd do in minutes what takes me hours.

Like I said, it sucks the joy out of the game.

[queen kindle]

While it's possible to compete, it'd be exceedingly rare for someone to be in a position to do it. However, the problem isn't really about bracket size, but more that there are sharp differences at the edges of grades between the haves and have-nots. Even a 2 level bracket in your case would be too much when in countless other cases, it'd be great.

[pliant flare]

Agree, that is exactly the reason why I stopped doing several slbs. Why try and compete (e.g. in a research event) when you need to do 20 researches to compensate for others doing one?

[topaz bone]

See?

It is not possible to compete.

[pliant flare]

So it needs to be tuned for each event, Cand1e. And two levels seem bit low. But we had events with 10 ops levels. I will never have a chance against an ops 45. (at Ops 39)

It is possible to „compete“ if you aim for loosing. 🤣

[topaz bone]

And it is directly related to the size of the bracket. The fact that the ship is ops gated, but the bracket doesn't match them.

It should be relative to the event. This particular event should be 2 levels to match the ops gated ship.

[pliant flare]

Let me look at my slb. Haven’t done that, yet. 😅

[topaz bone]

Similar to how the did the iso mining event.

[queen kindle]

2 levels isn't enough, you said your bracket has t25 all 39s. That means not even 38s can compete

[topaz bone]

Correct, 37s and 38s in one bracket would be fair.

39s and 40s.

Matching the ops gated ship.

There is a substantial difference in what a T2 F-A and a T3 F-A can reach and kill.

More than double the points too.

If people felt like they had a chance, more would compete.

More would be engaged.

[queen kindle]

The position is more about being wary of segments near grade levels, and only in this specific event.

[pliant flare]

This event is only one amongst many.

[topaz bone]

This specific event is done terribly. I won't even breach the topic of the daily SLBs for research, officer recruit, officer xp spend, or building. Those brackets are insane.

The cerritos slb last arc was awful too.

Competing against an ops 60 player at ops 37.

Super fair.

I mean, I don't even have the research nodes available at my level, even if I wanted to spend thousands to buy the materials.

Again, it ruins the joy of the game by removing the spirit of competition.

I immediately regretted buying the ship, upgrade packs, and the research materials for it because of how the SLB was setup.

[pliant flare]

I just checked. My bracket is ops 40 - 43. 1st has some millions in Score. Second has 300k (both ops 42). 25 has 58k (also a 42).
I have 5.8k from two runs against the 41 swarms. Sounds doable. 😁

[topaz bone]

Wish I had your bracket. lol.

I've already done 8 runs to swarm space, killing 51x 37s each time. Not even close to top 25.

[queen kindle]

Those are different from the Icarus event. Events with large brackets work if the players in the brackets have similar pt earning potential or if there are enough places available.

[topaz bone]

Using a 3* combat exo too.

Yeah, those brackets aren't doable.

One research for them is worth everything for the next 3 ops levels for me.

[pliant flare]

Correct like 1point per Hostile.

That’s something I could do with my Realta.

[topaz bone]

Take for instance the SLB the other day, for the Eclipse hostiles. That was fair because everyone has access to the same ship levels.

All you had to do was grind to be competitive.

Put in the time and effort, and you could compete.

This one is not the same, no matter how much time and effort you put in, you can not compete against the top levels because the ship is ops gated.

They have a literal advantage that is not able to be overcome.

I feel even worse for the ops 35s in our bracket. None of them are even trying. I don't see any in the top 75

[queen kindle]

You can compete, you just don't have the pieces to do it. But they should be obtainable at your level.

[topaz bone]

They are not obtainable at my level.

My franklin is max for ops 37. Can't tier it up again until Ops 39.

[queen kindle]

G4 exo should be via the expensive option

[topaz bone]

There are no options to buy G4 exos at ops 37.

[queen kindle]

What's in your consumable store now?

[topaz bone]

All 3*.

[queen kindle]

Do you have the yellow one on the side?

[topaz bone]

If I roll the dice for the 1250 pack, I might get a 4*. I did get one today. But that is the only one I have ever received to date.

[queen kindle]

Yeah that's the one.

[pliant flare]

4* is awailable if you upgrade it to level 40

[topaz bone]

Right, but you have to be ops 40.

So basically, to compete, I have to level up a bunch of times.

[pliant flare]

And have a lot of those special currency thingies.

[queen kindle]

Or have spent axionics and received the combat exo

[topaz bone]

I generally buy the single packs so I can get the parts for upgrading.

[pliant flare]

Never really bothered with exos. 😅

[topaz bone]

My exo factory is lvl 37.

[queen kindle]

Those are the pieces to compete against 39s as a 37. So it's possible, just extremely unlikely

[pliant flare]

Mine is 35. 🤣🙈

[topaz bone]

Exactly, what is the point in trying if there is no actual chance at competition?

[pliant flare]

With resources to bring it to 36…

[topaz bone]

And the exo I got... 1 hour 300% damage vs armadas. lol.

That's the combat 4* I got today.

Sure, it'll give me some point. But it won't be enough to land me in the top 25 and stay there.

Killing 100 swarms would give me 30k points. Still not enough to touch the t25.

[queen kindle]

If you aren't in a position to place, then go ahead and skip it. But a 37 with the right position could compete, that's just not you

[topaz bone]

I would need to kill about 500 to make it there with a 4* active the entire time.

I don't know any 37s with the right position. The only position available for them currently is bent over.

[queen kindle]

You could always try it, that 1h can earn a ton of pts in a multi-ship setup

[topaz bone]

Assuming I had a multi ship setup.

Do you have two F-As?

[queen kindle]

everyone does, you can use it on any swarm

[topaz bone]

Sure, but then you lose out on the other points.

[queen kindle]

Find a low level system that can sustain 4x or 5x if you have the G dock. Get a teammate/s to assist in camping nodes and just chain kill them as they spawn.

[topaz bone]

That's not a terrible idea, but that is still unlikely to generate enough points to remain in the T25.

I might save that for the last hurrah. The final hour.

[pliant flare]

How? I have a T1 Franklin…

[topaz bone]

He means everyone has access to killing swarms with any ships.

[queen kindle]

Using exocomps, the bulk of your pts are from that.

[topaz bone]

At ops 37 I can go kill a bunch of lvl 16 swarms.

[pliant flare]

But take your normal ship to another system. And do it simultaneously.

[topaz bone]

Using my regular ships. And load up on rapid point gains from the exo.

It makes sense, and it is a good idea.

Will have to grind all night to get within striking distance to make that work.

Ugh.

[pliant flare]

Now you made me want to try that. 😅 but sadly no time till 1800…
Have a nice day. 👋🏻

[topaz bone]

Adios!

[pliant flare]

Or in your case night I guess. 🤔

[topaz bone]

Eh, I work midnights. It's technically my day.

[queen kindle]

I'm estimating a few hundred k pts in that hour if done correctly. That should place with the rate the competition is going.

[topaz bone]

We shall see. For now, I am just going to do the slow grind to try and close the gap.

Burning 3* exos and killing the bigger hostiles for more points per kill.

Thanks for the tip. I will try to remember to let you know how it works out.

[trail adder]

Brackets are not weighted fairly. Only big players with 4* 5* exo can win it.

[quaint parrot]

Thank you scopely: having players from level 35 to level 39 in the same event group for "Swarm Showdown - Icarus SLB" means I have not to think if I have to spend my time to compete, that is I have time to speak to my dog.

[blissful island]

When will we actually see what the Franklin-A Retrofit keys are for?

[viscid phoenix]

They’re for upgrading it at higher tiers I think.

[blissful island]

herm, don't remember Retrofit keys, They had warp cores that lvl locked it

And mine is maxed so I can't see

ah, you are correct. I see that now. Was hoping was a better skin of some kind

[barren wadi]

Who the h*** is Pyke?

[hot bluff]

So we had so much fun playing "guess the speedup" last time you decided we should do it again?!? How are you so good at taking something fun and ruining it? You need a different hobby.

[uncut sentinel]

Also what are you suppose to do with the office? Considering only 2 on the list are Epic

[uncut sentinel]

It is the Station ones... Like Build Speed up (HINT)

[ocean prism]

and if you have no buildings to build you're... screwed i guess? lol

[latent merlin]

#3 guess officer answer didn't work

[ocean prism]

<@&509691205798592532> is there a fix for #3 only working for building speedups?

[autumn harness]

Agreed <@&509691205798592532> that’s quite annoying.

[fresh glade]

Yah 3 is messed up

[next jolt]

Yeah can’t too Q3 as I don’t have any buildings to upgrade right now.

Tired repair and research speed ups and they don’t work.

[ocean prism]

@wanton copper hate to direct ping ya but only one speedup type works for #3 for who's that officer... seems kinda wrong

[radiant carbon]

I cannot do it as all my

Buildings are maxed

[astral flume]

3rd question "Who's that officer?" event is buggy. The answer does not work.

[blazing shadow]

looks like building speed ups work, but since I am maxxed at my level I cant do it either

[radiant carbon]

Yeah until they unlock 40 for server 73 i am stuck

[ocean prism]

man 39 max i miss those days I woulda been close to the end... server 8 has the lvl 60 cap

[blazing shadow]

think a ship tier up will work?

cause that uses building speed ups doesnt it?

[ocean prism]

no it doesn't same as research

[blazing shadow]

It did work, use a 1 hour speed up on a ship tier up

[blazing shadow]

I had to tier up a ship and use a 1 hour speed up and it worked.. I was in the same boat all building maxed

[blazing shadow]

tier up a ship and use a 1 hour speed up

[astral flume]

Thanks. I got it with a research speed up a couple minutes ago

[blazing shadow]

ahh my research is also maxed currently lol

[trail shale]

@wanton copper you need to let the devs know a speed up is a speed up.

Should not matter what it's used on as this is the wording we were given.

No excuses for this complete screw up

[next jolt]

Tired a research speed up again and it work this time.

[trail shale]

I have alliance members reporting nothing but building speed ups are working. If the game needs to be reset to apply a hotfix, there needs to be an announcement ASAP

[night halo]

Hi I used a two-star station exocomp and I didn't get the 1000 points for it

[wheat summit]

Both research, and a ship repair speed up failed. I have nothing in my goddamn building queue

[grand wind]

Not seeing the ISS Jellyfish BPs in the event store like your announcement just said and if I had knows they would be there I would not have spent anything yet.

[wheat summit]

Oh look! It seems like they want a minimum amount of time on the speed up. When I jacked up the time, it suddenly worked!
The devs need to either make it more explicit, or open everything up

[radiant carbon]

Tried that. Used several sppedups. Didnt work

Ill try a 1 hour

Yes it had to be a 1 hour

[strong lagoon]

In no particular order

[radiant carbon]

Not seeing the g4 survey refits in event store. You need to be op40+ to buy them?

[thin magnet]

How can op35 compete with op39 in swarn shooting,when i cant upgrade franklin A due to op lock,or how can op35 compete with op39 in spending eveny,when i dont jave acces to 4* mats that give most points?(except scrapping ships,but i cant use then in research,only primes)

[radiant carbon]

Wish they would have added vidar refit and amalgam cloaking

[timid crystal]

Hi. Suggestion… put links to the systems in the guessing games when you make your choice.

[fickle dirge]

Anyone not being able to pass the third question? The answer is Troi, which means I need to use a speed up. I've now used three, and the game won't register it.

[queen kindle]

Try a building or research one

[fickle dirge]

Used a repair and Away Team speed up. Sadly I'm camping at my current level, and don't have any research or buildings left to do.

[queen kindle]

I saw someone suggest tiering a ship and speeding that up works too

[amber storm]

Whoa that officer has no possible solution....

[fickle dirge]

So built a new ship!

[fickle dirge]

The 1min skips don't work. Had to use an hour one. But I'm good now. Thanks.

[queen kindle]

Which are you stuck on?

[strong lagoon]

And remember they’re not in order

[vagrant topaz]

Does Q3’s speed up work with Away Teams?

[queen kindle]

No, try a 1h on a ship build/tiering if you don't have a building/research available to speed up

[vapid meteor]

ISS Jellyfish refit, that increases ship ability, would have been a great addition to the event store. Since the monthly event to unlock it has stopped running

[amber storm]

There re no suggested things to do

[vagrant topaz]

Scroll down

[empty pivot]

Any chance of a bonus refinery to give folks a fighting chance at the materials spending events?

[rigid wind]

So, server 40, #3... Tried multiple speedups, not taking any

Any suggestions on what to do for this?

[oblique ore]

Does i understand this Tendi event right: I must complete 27 events to get her. Problem is, there are only 27 if the announcement is correct. So if i fail in a single event, i played the whole month for nothing? This is not fair play, Ladys and Gentlemen from scopely. I like that kind of recruiting really, but not as all or nothing. There should be several milestone in the event and 30+ possible events if i need 27. This would be fair ...

[white bramble]

Have you tried using 1 hour speed up on a building/research/ship tier up

[white bramble]

What do you mean here?

[rigid wind]

Was giving an example. sTarted the warp speed exo comp, used 2 speedups for a ship repair, neither counted towards the event.

[white bramble]

The Icarus event is for station Exo comps

[white bramble]

Try 1 of the 3 I listed above

[rigid wind]

ok

built a phindra and used a speedup and it took it. The description of the action should really include what kind of speedup should be used.

[devout trail]

@wanton copper is there any way to get the USS Terror added to the refits in the event store?

[weak oriole]

@wanton copper is there way that they could add epic projectile packs
