[thorny perch]

As always, it's the way this is done. Players are forced to do something. Besides, after Scopely masters the Armada events so incredibly well, this will work wonderfully. Apart from that, raiden is the most boring ever

[vagrant topaz]

I’m all for wait and see but… the shields thing and additionally, sounds like something that is ‘scheduled’ for you and at the same time is something you cannot ignore.

If you can’t be online at a certain time you’ll want to move your base out of territory, ROE will be out the window so mining and dailies schedule disrupted… let’s indeed wait and see but this sounds like a lot less screentime this month

[vagrant topaz]

Well, yes and no. Right there with you on directive sourcing / armada scarcity, but you could choose to ignore these events and go do something else. They made incursions sound like the entirety of your gameplay can be impacted

[thorny perch]

I have complete confidence in the proven inability of Scopely

[nova delta]

Why don’t they pitch their idea and make a poll to see whether players want stuff like this? Because this is gonna be a massive change and tons of people are gonna walk away from the game.

[mystic compass]

That is not an answer. It's a cheap excuse to launch an event that only favors 50+ players. Well, they are the ones who are going to dedicate themselves to destroying with impunity the Stations of players with 10 levels less or more.
Depriving us of our ability to decide whether or not we want to participate in this Event is an insult and contempt for all players in this game.

[thorny perch]

I totally agree with you

[vagrant topaz]

you want to disable shields to people without their consent in participating or not to the event? are you crazy? what if someone forget or can't connect to move to a lower level system before the start of the event?

[unique hound]

I mean, how dare they try to shake up the mindnumbigly boring monotony of mining and hostile grinding.

[unkempt talon]

@vagrant topaz Scopely doesnt care.. they only want your money so they can pay their enginers to make more bugs and then cane figure out how to fix them,.. They pay those people way to mush for all the errors they make.. then keep them on the payroll.. its a good gig for them..

[raven panther]

This is the worst idea for event they had so far. I hope they listen for feedback and drop the event.

[vagrant topaz]

wanting to spice up things is a thing, disabling the only protection a lower level player have against the whales without him having a say on that is just plain stupid

[gilded warren]

19 system not 20 you have normal shields , but a complete cluster of a idea getting money going be a problem lose 50 % of players. Fantastic idea NOT

[hollow sundial]

I'd say, let's experience the event first and complain then.
Yeah, it sounds bad and given Scopely's reputation of messing up apparently event the most simple stuff, it can even be worse.
Give them the benefit of doubt that for the first time in millennia something they introduce goes according to plan and doesn't result in an utter and complete server freeze across all participating servers...
And afterwards, give them the feedback they deserve.... based on what they actually DID and not something we think can happen

[vagrant topaz]

We don't need to let them do the event to know that disabling shields to anyone without their consent is a bad idea

[waxen marlin]

Am 57+ and not looking forward to it tbn. Also have better things to do mate

[mystic compass]

It's a generic comment. I am aware that not a few high levels do not see this event with good eyes.

[ornate heron]

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt with Mobile Strike some years back. It sucks. Won't bother participating.

[mild coyote]

@wanton copper You guys just keep introducing stuff is such a way that it ruins your game. The game is hard enough without random triggerfingers from other servers. Ever since the idiotic server merge we got some time ago the gameplay experience has been a total nightmare. We lost many members due to the immidiate effects, and even more due to server tensions as a result of the merge combined with the countless issues and bad events of the last months. And now we get incursions which only benefit those whales and rogues which shoot blindly that everyone hates. This event forces participation, which is the absolute worst thing a game can do ever. Supressing shield activation for defenders, WHO MIGHT NOT EVEN WANT TO PARTICIPATE, is absolutely outrageous! Whats even worse is the suppression of the 10-min auto shield, an VITAL last resort for those moments when real life (yes, we have that) gets in the way.

This type of event has potential, the idea is good. Yet after many months of disasters, it looks like the execution of the idea is gonna be the absolute APEX OF DISASTERS and will completely destroy the game for many

[timid sable]

Exactly that, the experience from the server merge is pretty much the same on 176. There are still a lot of tensions about and things have only just started to calm down a bit but it's still far from a comfortable level.
Add to that the fact there are people who don't even have the time to constantly watch the game so they might miss the details about shields not working in systems 20+ (that include territory).
They will get raided as soon as the event starts most likely even though they are sure they put up a long duration shield.

[steep ridge]

@wanton copper You guys should just scrap this incursion junk now while you still have a player base. Dumbest idea I have seen out developers to date.

[unique hound]

Or you go ahead and quit before it comes. I am sure others will appreciate your rss

[unique hound]

Oh no, the game might get more content than swapping miners twice a day. HORRIBLE!!!!1111

[mild coyote]

The incursion mechanics is not the problem, that's a good idea. The implementation of the mechanic is.

[unique hound]

@wanton copper
With all the negativity towards the Incursion event I'd like to repeat that I think it is a great idea.
Of course I am sceptical towards the technical implementation of it (will it work? :D)
But I think most of the complaining here comes from people not realizing that if they really don't want to participate it is very easy to not to.
Just relocate and bubble up as usual. That's it.
Sure maybe during doing dailies you might have to not leave your ships floating or mine with cheaper ships to mitigate repair costs from potential EMKs, but how is that different to any of the regular occurring wars or rogues. It isn't.

So, I am looking forward to it and truly hope it blows some fresh wind into PvP. Game is otherwise getting horribly dull.

[pine burrow]

@wanton copper quick question. What happens if the same spot is already occupied??

[fervent laurel]

It literally says it below

[pine burrow]

So… not the same system if all slots are occupied? And if all territories are occupied then where?

[fervent laurel]

Like always, level 1 System is my guess

[pine burrow]

Haven’t read it carefully enough but when on the other server… does alliances chat will still be working???

[fervent laurel]

You are on a different server. Your alliance doesn't exist there, so no alliance chat

[pine burrow]

If groups of the same alliance go???

[fresh frost]

Except we know they've been playing with the alliance database tables... so I think there would be chat still...

[fervent laurel]

Manually create it then. Or maybe the game creates the alliance for you once you transferred.

[fresh frost]

No, I think the alliance tags etc will all stay

otherwise why would they be ensuring they were unique across servers

unique/uniquely identifiable

[pine burrow]

Of no alliance tag sticks… isn’t an alliance event? It’s only solo?

[fresh frost]

seriously, I'd just ignore what CR said about the alliance vanishing....

We have zero information either way about it

Except we know that something in the server maintenance they did was messing with alliances "to prepare for future releases"

[unique hound]

I'd also assume alliances stay.

[small narwhal]

I’d assume as a server vs server event all chat would still be on your server.

[fervent laurel]

In Retrospect, I should have added a little disclaimer that this is my guess, not any clear info 😓

[fresh frost]

It's a weird guess, too 😂

Chat wise, I half expect 'galaxy' to be whatever server you're on, PMs to work across wherever, and alliance to remain static

Unless they have galaxy stay the same, and add an incursion channel

[small narwhal]

I’m thinking galaxy should stay your original server so you can coordinate.

[fresh frost]

Be interesting to see how it goes

[small narwhal]

Yeah

[fervent laurel]

I mean, they wanted to add cross server PMs anyway

[small narwhal]

It would be weird to have galaxy be the new one and not know anyone on it

[fresh frost]

RIP my station spot in Leone though... too much risk that I'll be offline or otherwise engaged when an incursion lands and drops my shield 😂

[small narwhal]

I’ll have to move out of territory 😒

[queen kindle]

Don't worry, Leone is 100% the safest place to be 😈

[fresh frost]

😂

That's why I like it!

the ISO 1 comes to me 🤣

[queen kindle]

I bet it is the most dangerous place, it's always lit up overnight. They should release stats!

[fervent laurel]

Leone hasn't been glowing for me for ages now

[pine burrow]

It would be interesting to see what kind of new crush and lagging limits this will bring 😂

[austere fiber]

I like to raid. I’m withholding judgement till I see how well or how poorly this is implemented. However I do have concerns. The shield suppression causes forced vulnerability or forced migration. Suppression will upset the majority of players. Further, I have heard the incursions will be random. If that is true we can’t even plan ahead to protect ourselves!

So again, This has the seeds of a good idea to it. However, this shouldn’t be solely about raiding. This should have a goal. Again I’ll suggest a capture-the-crucible dynamic. Force servers to attack and defend as a team… that will drop shields of the participants leaving them vulnerable to raiding. It will NOT drop shields of those who either can’t or don’t want to play.

OK so maybe I’m not completely withholding judgment 😆

[odd marten]

Will do

[uncut radish]

This reminds me of real-time PVP in MSF. A handful of content creators and vocal "pvp" players clamored for it, said it would be amazing, save the game. Now? It's a dead game mode that nobody plays outside of the forced dailies. Every second of development time they spent implementing and trying to change it was wasted. They've tried to force "PVP" here (you know clicking on a ship and pressing attack is apparently PVP). They must have the analytics showing the majority bubble up and call it a day whenever they try this.

[vagrant topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/ive-got-the-power-jim-carrey-gif-8580258

You get this a lot 😂?

[full bridge]

What level do territory systems count? Will shields be suspended for those in territory too in this incurious event?

[unique hound]

They count as level 20 so shields will be off there too.

[full bridge]

Ok, thanks for telling.

[wild cipher]

Yep based on the information so far looks as though incursions is just about pay to win moving servers and hitting different players for a bit or hunting players from there own server that can’t shield - an event to avoid for sure already sounds like a major fail @wanton copper

[unique hound]

Translation:
I never bothered with PvP, don't know how to relocate and want others to not want PvP as well.

[wild cipher]

Pvp is part of the game and spending gives you an advantage no issue with that but scopely really need to address the pvp events by making them fairer and forcing whales to fight other whales rather than encouraging whales to hit players 15-20 lvls lower as an example

[pallid pasture]

@wanton copper I am curious about how you guys plan to address those who have set a 30 day shield and are not aware you plan to drop them. Are you guys going to compensate them? Or allow certain length shields remain in place for this? I ask, because I know some who have moved into places and set long shields due to medical reasons, and yet reading the event notes none of that seems to have been considered. I cannot speak for all servers but I know on mine we have an active player base that has quite a few members 50-70 age range. Every now and then for their own private reasons they need to shield up for a week or two and take care of real life. From what it looks like, you guys do not want to show a little care to those who did plan ahead, but not in time for said event. Since we do not have a release date you could very well be dropping this while people who had taken great pains to plan their base locations and shields and just screw them over. If that is the case will you be compensating those types of players? Especially those who paid money for a 30 day shield? And then any rss lost due to removing that shield with out their knowledge?

Also are you guys going to fix your alert system so that alerts actually go out to players? This issue is reoccurring for many I know not getting attacked notifications. Has happened to me in the last 24 hours of not being notified and then logging in later to find out what took place. Many of us who pay your paycheck via the packs we buy have jobs and real life. A timely notification is necessary and lately that hasn’t been happening consistently.

Will you be compensating anyone who has purchased this?

[fresh frost]

You just got more notice that this is going to be a thing than we ever have of a new feature...

There's always going to be someone who misses an announcement, whether it's an hour before or a month before 🤷‍♂️
If they're in your alliance, try and reach out to them over discord/etc

[pallid pasture]

Please read that again. I am speaking for those I know in a hospital right now and not in game. Some who paid real world money to protect their base and this suppression mechanic is something they couldnt plan for.

[fresh frost]

Unless they make the 30 day shields special some how, I'm not sure there's much they can do

heck, if they turned all your materials into butterflies, I think by all accounts their TOS allows them to do so

We lease/rent time, we don't own anything in the game 🤷‍♂️

[wild cipher]

Yeah but as a developer with a peace shield mechanism designed to protect your base and resources implementing a scheme to counter it is blatantly unscrupulous at the end of the day and immoral

No matter how much warning

[pallid pasture]

Maybe they should rethink this in a manner where at the start we all have shields like we get after maintenance, except they are for the duration of the event. Then if anyone actively engages combat with another player they are now subject to the suppression mechanic.

[fresh frost]

The best way would be for only people jumping to another server being subject to the suppression, not anyone who stays put

That puts the risk firmly into the realms of "you chose this"

Risk vs reward, only reward those who actually jump and take part

Or who actively shoot attackers from the other server

[queen kindle]

I'd prefer 7-30d shields to be "enhanced" and do not fail. The other kinds are for active players and they have enough warning

[pallid pasture]

I like that idea. I plan to go into the other server and plunder to my heart’s content.

[wild cipher]

The suppression has to be 2 way or the players that haven’t jumped and fail to raid a player that did will just shield! It’s a nice idea but scopely just haven’t thought through the consequences of players that have peace shields on while they are out of game for reasons such as poor health or looking after family etc or even taking a break from the game itself! @wanton copper you need to re- think this or are you in on this too because it feels like a complete scam and you will force players to quit especially if the events have no advance warning!! Show some morals and backbone

[pallid pasture]

Tossed an idea into the suggestion box. See what you think.

[wild cipher]

Assuming it’s the idea similar to ceasefire then yep good idea! The other point to note is players at work put a shield up and may not have access to there mobile device (hospitality workers for instance and healthcare staff!) so they have a shield on shift and then boom they are raided because of scopelys new event

[patent river]

We have players that barely read discord, let alone websites. These aren't going to be happy finding out they've been drafted into the incursion...

[unique hound]

Tough luck then. If you refuse to stay informed you can't complain about being surprised.

[patent river]

So folks who've spent and prepared long term are just SOL.. good plan scopes

[wild cipher]

You shouldn’t have to rely on 3rd party apps like discord or a website over something that’s been an integral part of the game since launch (however flaky it’s proven to be in the past)

[unique hound]

That I agree 100% with.

[hasty forge]

They could finally start activating that "nice" inbox and use it to inform us 🙂

[full bridge]

Although there seem to be many who dislike this incurious event, I'm looking forward to it. My server seems to be divided atm and I think this could unite us a bit. Unlike wars in your own server you can hide from this. Just relocate to a lvl 19 or bellow system and put up a shield. You don't need to participate if you don't want to. I doubt you won't tell us in advance when the next incurious event will be so you'll have plenty of time to relocate.

[vagrant topaz]

And recall all your ships and not play for the entire day in order to really hide. The impact of this is far greater than just some shields

Individual servers are likely to have ROE providing at least some protection

That’s out the window when you can hop to another server and do all carnage you like

[wild cipher]

Scopely are not renowned for good communication of events! The whole purpose of a peace shield is to protect your base primarily while you are offline so suppressing peace shields is not a good idea! Probably after the first incursion a selection of players will likely quit, and a further selection may re-shield in lvl19 and under systems at the end of the day it will reduce player count not make it more attractive a game

[full bridge]

Who said recall all your ships? You can do dailies in wars, can't you? This event is the same thing as a war but its more players. The more you're fighting the harder it gets. Server vs server will feel as an alliance vs alliance. But I'm not saying it'll be easy, just some change from the daily game.

You can also go on vacation if you want.

[queen kindle]

Never played as a rogue, but I'd imagine the experience is similar. A whole server that has you kos while you try to do dailies

[vagrant topaz]

You said “unlike wars you can hide from this”

You can’t

As you just elaborated on yourself as well 🤷‍♂️

[dark horizon]

Time to burn RSS and stay away from the game for a couple months, this sounds like its going to go really bad

they cant figure out how to make the game work properly on one server, now they want to move players between servers

might want to FIX pvp first

now paying customers can bully people on other servers too ?

[wild cipher]

Incursions has the potential to be a good event but the suppression of peace shields will leave a bitter aftertaste for many! Perhaps the lvl of the zone is too low also I’m not aware yet how long these events will be or what notice will be communicated in advance if any! It makes for an event experience that will divide players more than it will unite - pvp orientated will probably love it the non pvp will loathe it! But the concerns stated above in this thread about those players unable to react to such a major change regarding peace shields are extremely valid! I personally think ceasefire shields have to be deployed by scopely so players can choose to participate or not! Once you disable your own ceasefire shield you become fair game

[edgy elk]

Scopely, please pull the plug on the Incursion Events.

It is easy to predict that the game mechanics are not going to work. Maybe it could, but it won't. There is a reason why the players say something has been Scopeleyed when it doesn't work.

Best case scenario, you will crash all of the servers for a day and end up with egg on your face.

Worst case scenario, the event happens the way you intend it to and hundreds of players who think they are safe behind shields get raided and quit the game.

Either way, you will not achieve the desired outcome.

If you truly want to go through with this dumb idea, do not interfere with or negate peace shields.

[wild cipher]

Unless the outcome is they want those players to quit 🤔

[steady scroll]

They should move all you whales onto ONE server, together, and let you bash the s🤬 out of each other.
Oh, that won't work, because you'll just shield, and whine that there's no one 20 levels lower than you to hit.

@wanton copper is Scoepely's goal to reduce the number of players by 50% or 80%?

[halcyon fiber]

scopely is in constant war with its onwn playerbase, the goal is to make them go extinct. Never seen a game before so hostile to its players where there is no motivation to go on but plenty reasons to quit.
Reasons to continue: Time invested, Friends
Reasons to quit: STFC

[unique hound]

All you whales? I am not a whale. 🤣🤣

I spend about 1% of what a proper whale spends. 🤣

[steady scroll]

Most accurate thing written in this discord in 3 years.

[steady scroll]

what level are you? 45? 50? 60?

[unique hound]

45. About 50% of my servers active player population is in that range

[steady scroll]

I guarantee, the first person who hit level 60, will be shielded the entire time. She doesn't PvP. She mines, and that's it.

[unique hound]

Yea, but plenty of f2p and dolphins etc are exactly the same

[devout trail]

@wanton copper adding another voice to the pile, but Territory sheilds being supressed is a HORRIBLE IDEA - you are going to be brutalizing a ton of players with this, and that's not going to be a good thing. This Incursion event is a disaster waiting to explode, we all see it, how can you guys not?

[unique hound]

"We all"?
Nah. Speak for yourself. Don't claim to speak for others.

[devout trail]

lmao, seriously? it's a figure of speech. - the majority here (the vocal ones) are mostly against it, simmer down sir.

[fresh frost]

No no, we must complain that they've not given lots of notice that to be safe from a new feature means moving systems occasionally 😄

[fresh frost]

Really? I've seen the opposite 😂

I sincerely hope you’re excluding the EU servers from the Incursion events given the ongoing situation in Ukraine - to take away their ability to shield when they’re living in a real-life warzone would be insensitive to say the least.

[queen trout]

@wanton copper faction hunt and no ships in shop ?!

[desert nimbus]

[fresh frost]

That's why we don't care about the ALB...

[opal kiln]

Even at 49 it’s negligible

[rustic bison]

Appreciate the Section31 event to source Harrison who is typically hard to find, but in the future for 2 day events like this, especially where sourcing is hard, could we have more than just 1 SMS and SLB that's about Mat spend? I'd like more sourcing opportunities, especially after so many mat spend events last arc @wanton copper

[vagrant topaz]

Rewards for S31 officer event are horrible and aren't balanced for the amount of work needed to finish it.

[dusty pivot]

The community believes TC Defense & Takeover need to be revisited. Everyone wants to be productive with their ships, and 30m-1hr of idle time not being productive is too much of an opportunity cost; especially when contending SLB/ALB events.
#1 TC Defense (IF) no alliance joins in 5mins. Victory to Territory Owner
#2 Takeover Team with intent on taking System in Territory Schedules 48 hour declaration in System Page. It can show anonymous, but narrative declared that there will be a battle. This is a UX enhancement to ensure both teams have proper players online.
-IF #2 is an enhancement, then #1 should be not needed.
-IF #2 is not an enhancement, then #1 is needed

[steady scroll]

I predict about 50% of players will stop playing for a week.
I also predict that there will be a 80-90% uptick in the remaining 50% buying packs.

[mighty star]

Pre-announcing takeover attempts severely reduces probability for success of a hostile takeover. Your lense is probably the one of maintaining status quo. But I would consider that unfair.

Incursion:
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ekr2bFl1r9E/maxresdefault.jpg

[glad mango]

Scopely always has issues with events so the incursion will be no different, lag is horrid during exchange armada events and contested TCs now with 2 servers going at once in one it will be insane. I am going to guess all shields regardless of system might drop. The biggest thing though is the shield drop if you are in a 20+ system, 30 days are paid for, it's a bait and switch if they change the term of the purchase after purchase and I see people going to their credit card companies and contesting charges.

[timid tundra]

This is going to be a feeding frenzy. Shields are the only hope someone has to defend against someone 10 levels higher than them. With everything open you can't hope for your team mates to help because they'll be defending their own stations.

[spring island]

what will be happened if some players before this news about incursion and shild put 30 days shilds and go to vocations 😂

[gilded warren]

Unless there 19 system or below there stuffed

[spring island]

i know but it will be crazy and lot of res in return from scopely 😂 and lot off nerves lost 😂

[gilded warren]

Shielding principal part game to change without notice very wrong

[hollow flicker]

well level 19 system and a month not doing anything in stfc on the way the day incursions start.

30 day shield here i come

[hollow flicker]

hell they cant even support the load of one server in territories during takeovers and they expect to handle the player of load of two servers.. too funny what a freaking joke.

[glad mango]

We have people that live in Ukraine on the US servers also. Not to mention deployed and terminally ill players. Very poor decision on Scopelys part.

[hushed hazel]

I'm a 32 with the same rewards.

[vagrant topaz]

I’d recommend to (always) only buy towards the end of the battlepass anyway to then decide if you’ll make it and provides the value you want

[vagrant topaz]

Well yes

But stuff might happen

Dropped my phone in the sea last summer at start of a sail trip

Missing some 10 days on battlepass made it no longer worth it

To me that is

[frozen trellis]

Plus its like christmas when you get all that RSS at once

[knotty bolt]

@wanton copper It would be a smart thing to do to also put the incursion aspect in the in game news. Currently there isn't anything there. Mainly because not all players are on Discord and may not get the correct information about this. So putting it in the in game news would be a wise idea.

[uncut radish]

I think everyone needs to pay very close attention to their shields. I would go so far as to screenshot your base, resources, time, and shield status before this thing launches. The daily event refreshes barely work. Game lags all over the place with just one server. Issue after issue. Are you, or is anyone else confident, in their ability to apply shield logic based on system level?

[hollow flicker]

they really need to fix the shield application and logout issue were it does not apply.. has cost several people on my server months of rss... its totally sad they cant fix that but continue to add unwanted items like they are a placibo for the existing issues not fixed.

[queen kindle]

You can stay shielded by moving to a level 19 or lower system.

[timid oak]

Yeah, after rereading it , that's the opt out .. wow

[eager slate]

You can opt out. Don't use the server transfer tokens they are giving us (not their name but don't want to look up the name of them) and stay in a lvl 19 or lower system and you can shield as normal.

[little halo]

The thing I don’t understand about incursions is if everyone’s invading, who’s going to be invaded?

[toxic sinew]

Apparently it will run in 4 6 hr shifts with servers alternating between offense and defense.

[alpine glen]

Well I will say this… scopley has given me a fantastic excuse to take a game break and maybe pack this sorry game in for good. I have no faith that this is going to work. I’d say this is probably on a parallel with the de-sealing rod and treasury farce. There are more pressing issues that need to be fixed and actually having a game that’s stable than this crackpot idea. There’s been quite a lot of chatter amongst my server that this will force them to leave the game too with this incoming forced measure. This used to be a fun game. But now it’s become a poorly run money-grab.

[keen flax]

@timid oak you can stay shield n opt out during the game by relocating to galaxy 19 n under

@little halo I be invading your server n destroying your ships n bases for event rewards

[timid oak]

When are we gonna see cardassians, dominion, Breen, or the delta quadrant races as playable or non playable factions ? I'd love. A jemhadar battleship or krenim chrono torpedoes . Make the alliance bases with the ds9 blueprints .. have vortas, founders, cardassians, jemhadar, or Breen crew. There's still tons of storyline

To see a jemhadar ship up against a klingon d4? Priceless

Or a kazon fighter vs a rom augur..

[river merlin]

yOu CaN MOvE To A 19 and LoWeR ZONe, sO yoU can sHIElD

um what affects my shield from not working outside of that its dumb, why should we have to move our base to accommodate some idiots who spent thousands of dollars on a mobile game to fill their ego.

[timid oak]

Or jadzia Dax
... rawr.

[river merlin]

Just put people that want to do this in their own pvp server

for the duration of the event

[buoyant ember]

Shields should remain active for those that "DON'T" want to partake and should not be "Forced" to relocate. With the insurrection, is it just the bases that can be attacked or is it floating and mining ships too? Are RoE suspended during this event?

[stoic oyster]

Roe is for the server, not x server…even if it were how could it be enforced?

[buoyant ember]

Just asking basic questions that STFC needs to explain in their "Game Instructions" for the Insurrection event. That way folks know what to expect ahead of time. And may cut down on "land Blasting" messages or complaints 🙂

[serene kestrel]

Is there a way to exclude yourself from incursion

[buoyant ember]

No, you can protect your base with a shield in lvls 19 and below. But ships out and about in lvls 20+ they can be killed

[stoic oyster]

Move to -19 level system and shield shield shield

[strong igloo]

i hope scopely nails the pvp events if not i am getting negative feedback over this month pvp style arc

[toxic sinew]

All ROE is server specific and does not come from Scopely. No one should have an expectation that an invading server will be there for anything but war.

[umbral mist]

Does anyone know how many people are in an average server and how many spots for stations exist in 19 and lower systems... Will it be hard to find a spot if you wait to move til just before...

[white bramble]

For older and mid age servers I think there is enough space for all but for newer servers idk how many of you like PvP

[umbral mist]

98.81701% of players of this game are anti pvp, at least when it comes to being the target/loser...

[queen kindle]

There'll be enough space. You can see how many active players there are by looking at your alliance power leaderboards and adding them up.

Just looking at the randomly chosen Rosenberg system, there are a ton of slots there

[queen locust]

I've lost all faith Scopely is competent. How can they intentionally hurt players that left for weeks of vacation before the announcement, are in the military, in Ukraine, in the hospital, etc by breaking a basic game mechanic?

[drowsy vine]

Pffft. Everything depends on events and rewards. If they are not well thought out and make it worth it.. Well it will fail.

[ivory orchid]

https://tenor.com/7USt.gif

[drowsy vine]

I look forward to turnover in rator, p'jem and morska

Or I gets their loot.. Either way

[gloomy falcon]

I'll come for bacon 🥓

[ocean belfry]

Why all the the ops 21-24 players of course!!

[vague mantle]

Had this great idea come up today in AC:

Perhaps a good way to reduce screen time while maintaining engagement

[light trout]

If you want to grind faster, do what I do. I wolf pack hunt. I bring three to four ships that are strong enough to beat ships in a given system and I use all four to hunt simultaneously. I'm done in a quarter of the time it takes to do it with one ship. I got Feds done yesterday in about 10 minutes.

[vagrant topaz]

#989199925575311460

[keen flax]

@umbral mist your data is false!!! It like about 43% anti pvp in our server !!!

[vital sparrow]

Bad intel. It’s closer to 99.0529%

[tame barn]

So we have information on how to opt out of Incursions - are we going to get information on how the event is scored or other mechanics involved? Is it number of ships or bases hit, damage dealt, resources raided?

Or are we just going to get the usual confusing, often ambiguous and frequently misread event screen with the pop-out score tables once it launches and a scramble to work out what you're supposed to do? But with a big flashy server v server banner somewhere if the webpage is anything to go by.

[small narwhal]

Huh? They all give enough shards for a full unlock.

[wet pollen]

for our server, LtGeorge is correct, he may be a little off, but within typical +/- margins of error.

@queen kindle I applaud the pvp and the cross server events, but forcing people to move to a different server to avoid pvp is stupid. We have shields, let us use them. Disabling shields defeats the purpose of ever having them. This really will teach those that do not, or constantly forget to shield the value of shielding or sharing.

[viscid phoenix]

You don’t have to move to a different server 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you want you can relocate to a level 19 or lower system on your own server, shield and not participate in the event.

You also won’t automatically be put on a different server during the event, you have to spend an incursion token of some kind if you do want to go to the other server and participate.

[drowsy vine]

@viscid phoenix you are exactly right. I expect there to be glitches.. We have had them with every major mechanic change. However, it is something new. If the rewards are not good, I'll park in lower system and pop a 24 hr shield

[vagrant topaz]

knowing the past I will not be surprised if they'll screw up this in a major way and suppress shields for every system (or only for the 1-19 instead of the 20+) 😅

[keen remnant]

Update cow rewards please!

They are extremely lackluster....

[mighty star]

Isn’t it time to add a few officers to the CoW recruit boxes?

And i am not even an officer focussed player.

[knotty bolt]

@wanton copper Question for you and the Dev team. How will we be able to tell who is invading our server during the incursion event? Please provide visuals of a ship, station and how we can tell in gc assuming that they will be able to chat in opposing gc. Thanks.

[vagrant topaz]

@wanton copper thanks for the decision of giving us Cosmic Cleanup every week 👍

[lyric cipher]

Nothing against Military Supremacy but I spend more time flying between systems because there are still few ships that count. Is it such a problem that more hostiles emerge that are needed and not useless? Complications that just hold me back, because of this and other bugs, I'm not going to pay for anything in the game. You are unnecessarily discouraging me from shopping. It would be enough to lower the level of hostiles by one level and I would practically have no problem. The main thing is that they want euros or dollars, but they can't do such a thing. Not to mention other bugs. I know I probably won't change anything, but everything has its limits. I will ignore the upcoming event. I work hard to get raw materials and I would just lose them. Those rewards would have to be 1000x better than usual.

[manic estuary]

@wanton copper Still need a lot more info, what does offensive and defensive segments refer to, I take it scoring is different in these segments but what are the details?

[queen kindle]

We'll get more details when the feature rolls out with the patch. This was just a heads up teaser, probably because there is significant change to a long-understood mechanic, ie. shield duration, and players need time to digest the info.

The "segments" are 4x 6h blocks where we attack/defend/attack/defend over a full day. The closest analog we have now are daily events, so I'd expect specific events for each side we're on during those blocks. We'll have to wait to see what they really mean in a few days.

[unique sluice]

What about players that went on holidays and bought 7day shields and are probably only logging in to refresh the shield after one week? Happy Holidays!? 😂

[elfin merlin]

But there are still a lot of unanswered questions besides the scoring mechanism. What happens when you port to the new server in terms of event and ranks? Do you start seeing the new servers ranks (power, power destroyed, rss raided)? Do we compete with the other servers players in daily events? Do our actions there count towards our server or the the other one (in terms of events and ranks)? What happens at the end of the event if you forgot to port back to your own server? Do we get automatically ported back or do we get stuck in the other server? Do we see our own GC or the other server? Can you pm players in the new server? Can you join an alliance in the new server? …depending on how they technically implement this, I foresee a lot of bugs with all of of these features…and a lot of people exploiting them

[white bramble]

All the rankings stay the same except anything with an X tag so for example XSLB’s

[white bramble]

At the end of the event you are pushed back to your server

[white bramble]

Communication wise it’s unknown how it works yet. I would assume AC is the only thing that works like normal as it wouldn’t make sense to change it

[quick pivot]

@wanton copper can the Domination event be removed from the BP line ups please

[queen kindle]

One of the easier ones, what don't you like about it?

[keen flax]

@wanton copper @storm ridge @unknownz Is there a way that Scoply can show the events schedule atleast a 1 or 2 day advance especially ARC event so we can get prepare n understanding before it officially starts .
And for incrusion events, can we the schedule like 4 days advance when which servers are battling so we prepared against that server???

[distant steeple]

Event schedule, as in the events in the BP are normally issued on arc release or quickly after.
Incursion content should, hopefully, come with a separate news bulletin on the jumbotron.
No details on either atm.
Your 4 days preparation request maybe optimistic.
Albeit that if the Incursion event runs several times over the arc then you will have experience from the first for others.

[keen flax]

We should have a teaser arc release preview a day or 2 day because I thought we going have another underdeck event because there still more characters in show we didn't receive in game, instead they just jump to new star trek show without notice. Plus it does take to adjust for these events

[small narwhal]

The battlepass schedule is never released, only the other arc events schedule is.

[mighty star]

Question is do you want the game to be deterministic or have a degree of surprise in there. As we know nearly all event types that can occur someone can plan for “surprises” and thus gain an advantage over players that dont plan

[distant steeple]

Both are released, you see the BP layout on arc fall day and the event schedule as well. They are hand in hand with each other on day 1 (normally).

[small narwhal]

We’re talking about the schedule for battlepass dailies, which is never released. The only “bp layout” we know in advance is when it starts and when it ends.

[distant steeple]

If it hasn’t happened before you can take it the likelihood this time will be the same.
I can but ask.

[small narwhal]

Yeah I’m not hopeful, but I just want to clarify what we were talking about. The schedule they release is specifically for the non-battlepass events.

[keen flax]

Ok, I fixed it. I meant Arc event to have a preview

[vagrant topaz]

Hi, is there a date when the incursion event will begin ?

[white bramble]

All we know is it will happen sometime around the 9th

It will be on the Calendar when the arc launches in 2 days

[timid crystal]

Hi…. 48 hours was a long grind for a SLB…. Just sayin

[small narwhal]

By “arc event” do you mean battlepass dailies or the other events?

[keen flax]

Yes, the 3 weeks events schedule for the battle pass, n other event in it

[teal abyss]

@wanton copper when on earth are you going to fix the ludicrous prices in this game?

Take those “specials”. They should be 0.99 and 17.99 instead of 17.99 and 89.99. I guarantee you’d sell far far more and gain far more out of it. With cost of living going up you really need to stop being completely tone deaf and restructure your pricing.

[minor finch]

He's not going to cuz he has no say/control over the price/value/content of the packs available.

[teal abyss]

Not saying they do, but the message and concerns can be passed on.

[minor finch]

Maybe change the language you're using to convey your message so that it's less direct and abrasive, the way which you have worded it is insinuating that you expect Eco to personally change the prices of the packs.
A less abrasive and more constructive tone might be more beneficial.

[teal abyss]

I’m fine with the language I used, thanks.

[vagrant topaz]

Out of curiosity, have you asked the bakery and your landlord to reduce prices?

[teal abyss]

Every day.

[vagrant topaz]

And I’m sure they don’t need to make money and are happy to oblige 😉

[teal abyss]

Scopely make plenty of money. I think we can all agree their prices are on the high side, especially compared to other mobile games, so I’m not being unreasonable here

But sure, defend a 1.7 billion worth company, I’m sure they’d quickly defend you too.

[vagrant topaz]

Frankly yeah in my view you are unreasonable, high or low prices notwithstanding. “Ludicrous” and “completely tone dead” aren’t exactly constructive, not to mention the suggested / wanted relation between living costs and prices for pixels.

Not defending anyone 🤷‍♂️ just telling you to not get your hopes up

[teal abyss]

Oh believe me I won’t.

[vagrant topaz]

Good for you 👍

[minor finch]

So next we should ask Tesla to sell thier cars for $17 too

[teal abyss]

Sure, defend a billion worth company by attempting to belittle my point, not as if the lower prices would benefit you too would it

[minor finch]

The lower prices would have less than 0 affect on me.

I wouldn't buy packs even if they were a penny each

[teal abyss]

So why get involved in this conversation?

[minor finch]

Do I not have a right to get involved?
It's a publicly accessible platform.
If you don't want/like people arguing your point then I'd suggest that you don't make one to begin with.
Just because something has no perceived effect on someone doesn't mean they don't have a right to voice thier opinion.

[teal abyss]

You do have the right to get involved certainly, but to argue about something you have no interest and no experience in isn’t particularly useful

[vagrant topaz]

Neither is suggesting scopely redefines and reinvents capitalism 👀

[minor finch]

And for you to assume what someone else has an interest or experience with is rather presumptuous

[teal abyss]

Didn’t suggest that at all.

[teal abyss]

You literally just said it yourself 🤦‍♂️

But thanks for derailing the conversation, really helpful 👍👍

[vagrant topaz]

The victim role doesn’t help with the argument either

Ciao

[minor finch]

I said I wouldn't buy packs. Doesn't mean I don't have any interest or experience with buying them or a like product...

[teal abyss]

Ok.

[prime kettle]

Trolls man trolls. Added nothing to convo at all.

[coral kite]

If you want lower pricing you’re going to have to start with Paramount first. I’m sure Scopely is paying some pretty hefty licensing and royalty fees to run this show. Ask Paramount to cut their fees. If that happens, then you might have a chance at lowering the price points.

[unique hound]

I think his point is that if they lowered pack prices they would sell so much more packs to overcompensate for the lower prices and end up earning more money than before.
Hard to say to which degree that is true but I tend to believe it could work at the right ratio.

[vagrant topaz]

Perhaps but there’s another balance to consider - finite content (progression opportunities) and more people reaching that sooner

[unique hound]

True, but even if they doubled the amount of packs sold it would take the brunt of players still years to reach the 'end' that currently exists.

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah that’s fair. Guess it depends on how much average players’ spending equals that of a proper whale

[trim gazelle]

They should curate a whalefood pack: enough materials to help someone meaningfully level into whale attack brackets.

[vagrant topaz]

Im sure everyone will go for it 😂

[junior violet]

Is that like complaining about the politicians in office when you don’t vote?

[minor finch]

Even if you didn't vote you still have the right to complain about them do you not....

[fresh frost]

If you don't care enough to get involved in the selection of your government, you obviously don't care enough to complain about the choices others made for you, but that's getting into politics which is a nono here 😅

[vagrant topaz]

In a logical world

Just to clarify

But indeed let’s not go down this path 😂

[minor finch]

You can be involved with a decision without directly inputting into said decision.
And just because you didn't input into the decision doesn't mean you have any less right to discuss it.

[fresh frost]

Was drilled into me early on. "you must always vote, because the extremists will always vote" no room for a silent majority there 😅

[fresh frost]

You need to care about these things before they impact you personally though

If I'm told I can come to a steering meeting for work, and don't turn up, and then find that stuff I could have influenced happened that I don't like, that's on me 🤷‍♂️

[vagrant topaz]

To some extent laws impact everyone. Whether to care about that or not is up to everyone. If you care, discuss it all you want, let your voice be heard, or in other words vote. If you don’t vote but still talk edit:complain about it you don’t care, you just like to whine

[minor finch]

Even with that, if they are just complaining for the sake of complaining they do still have the right to do so.

[vagrant topaz]

I very very purposefully skirted around topic of rights and entitlement.

[minor finch]

Which was the original point... someone having the right to do something.
And having a Right and being entitled are 2 different things.

[vagrant topaz]

👆

[fresh frost]

At its simplest form, if my wife asks me what I want for dinner, and I say "whatever", I'm forfeiting my chance to complain about what we end up eating 😅

[edgy elk]

@wanton copper please pull the plug on the Incursion Events.

It is easy to predict that the game mechanics are not going to work. Maybe it could, but it won't. There is a reason why the players say something has been Scopeleyed when it doesn't work.

Best case scenario, you will crash all of the servers for a day and end up with egg on your face.

Worst case scenario, the event happens the way you intend it to and hundreds of players who think they are safe behind shields get raided and quit the game.

Either way, you will not achieve the desired outcome.

If you truly want to go through with this dumb idea, do not interfere with or negate peace shields.

[viscid phoenix]

Your best case scenario is 1000 times more likely than your worst case.

[digital mauve]

@wanton copper:

Let it happen. Let's break some universes and hurt some feelings. If the plan is for the first batch of servers to begin their 24hr incursion event right at cutover? Bold move. It's probably gonna be your standard set of mission content, a new officer introduction or two (ideally not ruining some beloved officers by forever linking them with Incursion content via abilities specific to it, but ... hey, it'll be what it'll be). There will probably be some kind of XSLB and ISMS/SLB to build up the bits to make the transit twice during your incursion event. Or maybe it'll be a gift box. Good luck, have fun?

There'll be stuff to do for servers that are not in an active incursion on a day, so, I'm not worried. Y'all are pretty good at getting screentime out of us.

Ahem.

Right, soooo maybe it'll be a week of really fattening ticket events with no tokens but lots of rss. Get everyone fat and happy, right? I love that idea, because there are (up to!) twelve hours coming where I get to visit "Server X" and not ask them what their RoE is. There are (up to!) another 12 hours coming where I can defend my friends against a bunch of randos that don't give much thought to what we're doing over on our server, either. In the end, it'll be over. Some stuff'll be tallied. Some folks will have forgotten to move outta 20+ space into <20 space. The caterwauling and cries for the whaambulance will be many and varied.

Until I know how the event will be scored (and please don't break your tally servers), I have... faith that this'll be fine. Faith manages. Maybe it's lag and a hotfix, try again next time. So what? Let's do the thing. I've never learned from not doing the thing. Let's do something new, even if it brings some familiar problems.

I'm ready.

Oh, and please? Pair s34 with s45.

It's a match. If not now, soon. Ignore the algorithm and the notion of 'server parity.'

We're ready.

[vocal karma]

That was some speech, my guy. Just let me know when the election is, and I'll vote for you.

[dapper path]

Move incursion events from a saturday to a sunday.

As it would mean no more “safe mining” for the heavy preloaders anymore, so everyone on Mining Monday would/could have a way more fair chance for competing.

[vagrant topaz]

Incursions are neither on Saturday nor Sunday. Read the patch notes.

[dapper path]

Well, just move future incursions to sundays anyways😏

[vagrant topaz]

Nooo

Sundays are for playing outside

And / or being hungover in bed

[vagrant topaz]

Was the "Epic" Cerritos skin designed to make the USS Enterprise D Skin look better? it looks like a rusty turd. I guess I should be thankful, with a skin that ugly I don't have to worry about trying to chase events for it 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[vagrant topaz]

I think it is based from an episode on the show, it is in fact the ship without is outer hull armor

anyway you don't have to put the skin on to have the bonus applied, so one can take it and never put it on

[vagrant topaz]

Very true, but the bonus, much like the visuals, just aren't particularly appealing. Especially when Irvinite is free anyway

Feels like more effort was made to put more red numbers on every single icon on my screen than to make a skin worth playing for

Are the little red indicators the first incursion?

[mighty star]

Got exactly 0 shards in the CoW event. That is 0 as in ZERO, NULL, NIL, CERO. time to update the officer list

Neither can any of the people who read music on our server

The best guess is sol but surely not?

Nope

[vagrant topaz]

did you already have the new events?

[fringe tree]

Yes. But no way to decode them@ hahaha

[devout trail]

Eighth to quarter to half to whole is the sequence of notes. But that makes no sense.

@wanton copper Kills don't seem to be counting for the Crucible of War event

[devout trail]

Notation goes.

[fringe tree]

How does that translate into the system

No idea

[fringe tree]

Our server is stumped. Nobody even music teachers can figure it out

[brazen bramble]

Sorry, was in the wrong channel

[snow tiger]

The musical note clues are 💩

There is absolutely no connection between the notes and the name of the system

[ocean belfry]

There is a connection...

The cipher is pretty easy actually. I enjoyed it but I guess I'm the only one 😂

[bitter breach]

They messed up the first image. The other 3 parts are actually decipherable

[errant belfry]

there is no whole note

[bitter breach]

For those who still want to decipher it and need a bit of a hint in how to do it: check the different types of notes. The first type goes from A-G. The second type starts at H....
Have fun deciphering 🖖
(Note: the first image is the wrong one)

[trim gazelle]

This is the worst battle pass I've seen so far. Adding up all the rewards doesn't upgrade a single ship by a single component at level 28.

I think you guys missed a decimal place, all the G3 rewards need to be multiplied by 10x for this to make any sense. Please fix it quickly

[errant belfry]

haven't read music in years and thought I was just rusty... nope not me this time lol

[fringe tree]

We just needed to follow the yellow brick Road

But it would’ve helped if they didn’t screw up picture of one with pictures three

[errant belfry]

could you post the correct pic for 1?

[vocal mist]

I have absolutely no idea how to read music 😦

[high aurora]

@wanton copper There is no ticketed event info in the in game a notice

[edgy elk]

If I can't send an alliance help without changing my zoom settings, why should we expect that a server vs server pvp event with suppressed shields will work just fine?

[manic estuary]

You have got to be kidding me!!! You're popping a cloaked event first day??? I'd be booted if I said what's on my mind!!

[peak meteor]

Scopley sees themselves as a baseball player hitting home after home run in the World Series 😂 we see scopley as that troubled kid hitting rocks with a baseball bat breaking windows around the neighborhood. 😂 perspective got to love it.

Going to follow up about this

[austere vigil]

What am I missing? CAEEC makes no sense to me.

[storm gyro]

no, the notices no, please 😂

[edgy elk]

OMG they forgot to put in red pips to tell me how many missions I have open. Should I submit a ticket?

[ocean belfry]

You're missing the significance of eighth vs quarter vs half vs whole note

[austere vigil]

I guess I’m an idiot. I don’t see a correlation in the image. Some stems are the wrong direction.

[languid grail]

Why has the event store for the crucible event disappeared while the event is still open? There's like 25 min left. I was tryingvto get those last trophies. I didn't even get to use my reward in the store before they shut it down.

[toxic sinew]

#993889300989100062

[ocean belfry]

You're (probably) not an idiot. I've studied ciphers pretty extensively so had good intuition on what to do :)

[austere vigil]

Well, being a professional musician is not good enough on its own. 🤣

[hot bluff]

Scopely, why do you hate us? I happened to be on when the events rolled out and I was so excited about a puzzle event. As it is, I am one of the few in my alliance who even likes the puzzle events. I always have to rush to do them before some bonehead posts a spoiler in alliance chat because most people don’t want to figure it out. And a music based one was going to be fun. I’m no Mozart, but I know my notes and scales. Then after a bunch of wasted time I finally gave up because I couldn’t get it to work. I was feeling frustrated and stupid. Only to find out that you screwed up the graphics. At some point this is starting to feel like you are doing this on purpose, like we are all being psychologically experimented on: how many times will we shock ourselves for a pellet of food?!? I don’t know that I am ready to throw in the towel yet, but after the last few months I am getting pretty close. It’s sad. I just want to have a little fun. 😢

[buoyant ember]

Elite Battlepass is pretty "lame" this month, not worth $99

[pseudo stump]

CoW doesn’t use the event store. The stuff is in the alliance store, and the officer recruit section. I can still see it all

[astral talon]

Disappearing Act should always come with a 3-4 day warning. That, or Scopely should be clear that tetryons are not meant to be spent outside of the event

Or, ideally, the points should be changed

[pastel fjord]

They fixed the first image, but it is still incorrect for the third note in the cipher. Should be another line higher?

[ocean belfry]

You're correct

[languid grail]

@pseudo stump OMG you are so right. There's too many places to get stuff and this cipher got my brain twisted

[manic estuary]

I hate to assume anything, the new snw missions are the ones for the event right?

[oblique ore]

Opening chests does not work. You get no reward from chests
@wanton copper

[spring umbra]

If you are going to keep jamming in 4 materials spend events in every month, you could at least go back to the days of multiple Para Bellum events…

[young robin]

you have to run the update first...consider them lost

[lyric quiver]

How can I plan ahead to be able to complete disappearing act by having enough tetryon when the event is released day 1? Would need event guide days in advance. There’s no tetryon in the battlepass. An event that you can normally plan out to complete is now pay to complete. 👏 🙄

[wanton copper]

I had that happen the first time I opened a PvE chest on PC and worked every time since

I wonder if it's just the first time you try and do something.

[ocean belfry]

It worked the first time for me and is broken after that

They aren't in the in-game announcement event details though. @wanton copper Any word on when we will get incursion event details?

[strong anchor]

Right. And the first two days are not the x-server events but some kind of prep… hence my question

[toxic sinew]

Disappearing act also wasn't listed in the event details announcement, so I'm a bit concerned that we may be missing other things that we could/should be preparing for.

[strong anchor]

Will an event provide the Subspace Relay Key to unlock the Subspace Relay building? Or is the for $$$ only?

[fervent laurel]

you will get it as a gift at a later date

At least thats afaik. What I can guarantee: Its free

[rustic bison]

Feedback on the cipher event, I appreciate trying something 'new' for the quiz game format to try to keep it interesting, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to be Star Trek related, maybe tie it to Uhura's musical and translation abilities...mayyyybe....but...personally I prefer the star trek related trivia a little better. Good try though

[pseudo stump]

Disappearing act needs some more attention. It’s still difficult to complete. I’ll end up 20 tetryons short and I had 250 today. Either lower the points needed for the milestones or increase the points for using tetryons. Or maybe double the max capacity of tetryons. Or add tetryons as rewards at each milestone. Plenty of ways to make it accessible.
It’s not fun having to save tetryons for when this event might run next.
We should be able to finish it without a need to horde tetryons.

[patent river]

Someone hasn't seen SNW yet...at least this month they actually referenced the show

Una and Ortega need to swap officer abilities

[dense thorn]

I’m really tired of getting these events where we’re supposed to not use or redeem anything (ATA, Cloaking) on the off chance theres an event.

[oblique ore]

i had this problem with both gift chest and one Container in event shop. stopped trying after this. i dont know if i got reward...

[pure hamlet]

Death by a thousand red markers.

[strong anchor]

Really don’t see why the Fear missions are level locked at 34. These could be easily done at ops 28. Why exclude so many players from the fun and rewards? 🤷‍♀️

Scopely boardroom about now

[shut glade]

You need to go back to the old version of Disappearing Act. 2 days and it not giving Tetryons back makes it basically impossible to complete without just acquiring a cloak.

[neon oasis]

Please look up how to write sheet music. It takes very little understanding to make it seem real. This looks like you just threw stuff together without actually thinking about it.

Music is a language, if you used another language without understanding it fundamentally, it'd be a mess. Well, this is a mess.

What absolute trash

[patent river]

Found the symphony member

[neon oasis]

Actually I'm not but thanks 😘

[novel totem]

clearly an oversight. No pips on the holodeck button! I demand more pips!

[warm crest]

Am I reading the schedule correctly that there's only one material spend event and it's an slb? Just trying to plan things out. Thanks!

[toxic sinew]

I thought I saw 3 of the milestone/leaderboard recruit event pairs.

[white bramble]

There is 3 SLB’s

[warm crest]

Ok, right, sorry. 3 slbs

No sms associated though?

[toxic sinew]

YEs, there is an associated sms

[quartz lava]

If I get stuck on the Incursion Server, or lose my account or some dumb poop Scopely didn't plan for with these events... I'm 90% sure i'm gonna retire.

[warm crest]

? I don't see sms with it.

[white bramble]

Normally it would say SMS. This time it doesn’t 🤔

[fervent laurel]

You don't get stuck

[warm crest]

@wanton copper what say you?

[warm crest]

We hope!

[quartz lava]

Because Scopely has a flawless track record of releasing new features?

[fervent laurel]

Good point

[toxic sinew]

Huh, I don't see it now, but I could have sworn there was one when I read the events earlier today.

[white bramble]

That screenshot was from event reset

Maybe before that it was SMS

[toxic sinew]

Could've sworn they were both there. Must have been skimming too fast and thought the meta event was a spend milestone - that or they pulled the spend milestone event.

[austere vigil]

On the music cypher, the A stems are upside down. Should be facing up. B and up is when you start to point stems down. All the stems facing down and some of the A notes on the eighth notes, the tails are reversed. They should be on the right side of the stem as in the picture. Tails always are on the right side, irrespective of the stem facing up or down. I’m positive you have at least one person working at scopely with a music background. Probably a lot actually since musicians gravitate towards tech jobs.

[eternal lintel]

No missions at all if you’re below ops 34? In the past we could get the missions and archive them if they were too hard. This time my Holodeck doesn’t even have a SNW category in it. Way to leave out the lower levels from the arc 😡

[wanton copper]

Those are going to be in their own announcement later this week

[wanton copper]

What did I do wrong

[wanton copper]

https://tenor.com/view/the-grinch-evil-smile-creepy-smile-gif-7618321

More pips you say

[novel totem]

I don't think having the pips in the first place is the problem. It's actually helpful to get visually notified when there is something new, or something can be redeemed. However the issue is that the pips don't work like they do in your populare messenger or e-mail apps - they don't disappear if you have visited the page/tab. They also do not sync accross devices properly...

[glossy forge]

Does any one the answers for the cypher puzzle

[novel totem]

#993889300989100062 message

[arctic talon]

IGN doesn't seem to mention any Recruit events for SNW Una. Is that an over-sight or will Una shards only be available for paid unlock (like Barclay)

[warm crest]

Lol nothing. Trying to determine if there will be a material spend sms along with each material spend slb.

[carmine crown]

Fear itself mission 6 dialog error.

[olive cape]

[SYSTEM] is beautiful this time of year.

[patent river]

Not [SYSTEM] now I gotta move my base

[pulsar birch]

Y’all need an editor on these scripts? Will trade editing skills for packs

[mighty star]

Commander, drank too much last night? Get your ducks in a row and follow the crumbs to [SYSTEM]

[finite loom]

Anyone figure out yet how to get the “Subspace Relay Key” to build the new building

[edgy elk]

No new building for you!

[gilded warren]

Side missions relate to subspace relay

[manic estuary]

I don't see disappearing act on schedule so how many times you jerks going to surprise us with it this month like you did today??

[vagrant topaz]

You can buy tetryons in the store. Proceeds will go to hiring a new UI developer

[heavy escarp]

Can someone speak to me like a child and explain the Cypher event? I get them messed up the first image but I'd really like to understand the train of thought

[mighty star]

1. Click Galaxy Chat
2. Type: Answers ?
3. Wait 10 seconds
4. Do what they say

[heavy escarp]

If that's just the answers, I already finished the event from posted answers. Was just hoping for an explanation. I read music and still don't get it.

[mighty star]

That was my plan above to do the event. When I clicked Galaxy chat the answers were already there. So I skipped 2) and 3). I was happy. Am not looking for deeper meaning of life from Scopely

[high pine]

Each type of note has a "multiplier" (if you will). That, coupled with the position on the staff translates that note into a letter of the alphabet.
Someone posted a chart earlier, but I can't find it ATM

For example (and I'm making this up), a half note "a" might be the letter G, but a quarter note "a" might be the letter T

[rose kettle]

Has anyone seen the incursions schedule so we know when it will be for our server

[heavy escarp]

I think I get it. I tried doing that by breaking the alphabet into 4 sections of 7 thinking that may work.. with 8th note being A-G.. quarter note H-N etc. But I either messed it up somehow or it still didn't work.

[white tundra]

Quaver = letter represented by the note, Crotchet = letter + 7( 1 grand scale), Minim = letter +14 (2 grand scales) etc

[vapid meteor]

Not going to be able to complete disappearing act, again. This is ridiculous

[manic estuary]

And it's not scheduled so how many more are going to be without warning?

[somber hinge]

can any of the mods explain why a 100% pvp function like cloaking is not counted for pvp kills during the corresponding event?

[vagrant topaz]

The mods moderate discord. Game design improvement best bet is to ask Eco, or use #989199925575311460

[somber hinge]

well than, @wanton copper see above..

[manic estuary]

WOW! I'm slow! Just realized why disappearing act is unscheduled now. Some of us knew how to finish without buying shielding ,when scheduled ,which ruined the whole purpose

[fresh frost]

It was scheduled... just... not ahead of time 😂

[toxic sinew]

For those of us with musical knowledge, it was frustrating because the bit with the note length had nothing to do with music.

[queen kindle]

Cloaking isn't a "100% pvp function." There are buffs on it that are only triggered in armadas. And some that work on hostiles as well.

[somber hinge]

But it doesnt make sense to attack hostiles when cloaked.. they dont care about and the pure fact that you are cloaked against hostiles is sensless in this game. While its a huge difference in pvp if you are cloaked or not.
In addition do the cloak daily count pvp kills - so why not this event?

[vagrant topaz]

Armadas are hostiles too, makes a lot of sense and difference

[somber hinge]

Just because the buffs of the research are applying to hostiles/armadas. But even this fact is sensless, at least in my eyes. Why shall i be cloaked against a hostile/armada - disregarding the buffs from the researches?

[digital mauve]

I use cloaking routinely for armadas. It's quite useful. I will occasionally use a cloak when attempting a boss hostile/yellow as well.

Somewhat less frequently than I used to, since I too live in fear of 'disappearing act' uncloaking on me without warning... but I also am enough of an adult playing a game for adult humans that I know I don't need to complete the dumb thing every time it shows up.

[digital mauve]

That answer is even easier; you don't disregard the buff from research. That's a game feature. Use it to your advantage.

[somber hinge]

Again, why is scoply then disregard pvp kills in this event whereas the buff applys also for pvp?

[digital mauve]

Why? Just don't complete it. You'll be okay.

I'm sorry the thing doesn't do the thing you want the thing to do, but it does a lot of other things. Accumulating the tetryon radiation for the new research is the only feature of the dailies, though. The 'disappearing act' event is a hostile hunt with the cloaked twist event. Yeah, it's annoying it started with the arc. The dailies for cloaking are hunt events that include hostiles or players. That is the design.

[vapid meteor]

It used to be 3 days long previously. It's now 2 days. If you are free to play, even if you
have max tokens, there's just not enough to complete it

… eh pretty obvious that missing the uncommon and rare is quite **** when it's supposed to be a free event

[digital mauve]

I don't think that missing events is the end of the line for f2p folks. I can do the math, I struggle with it too. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[somber hinge]

Guess all the bugs are also 'design' and we should live with them, right?

[queen kindle]

I'm pretty sure they could make it so that pvp counts, the fact that they didn't implies that it is a choice by design. In the same way that Hostile Hunt is only pve, someone decided that this event will only count cloaked-pve for one of the scoring metrics.

[vapid meteor]

Do you work for scopley or something? It’s a nightmare to get uncommon, they hold a free event to give some, they’ve made it impossible to complete

That being a bad experience is pretty solid event-feedback

[queen kindle]

I don't like the way the event currently is, so go ahead and see if you could persuade a change.

[strong lagoon]

The lag on this server is horrible…
I know, let’s add server hopping PvP, because, you know, lag
🤦‍♀️

[novel mango]

There is way to many of them now they have become meaningless.

[rough ravine]

All these new red number boxes all over my screen, on stuff I don't intend to purchase yet, is driving me crazy! Please go back to just the red notification numbers for daily's, gift boxes, and event store items. The rest are over the top! No longer 'unique' enough to be actually helpful. They are everywhereI

I even have a "2" red number notification on away teams when they are all in progress and none are ready to be completed, which is quite frustrating.

[high aurora]

They need to reinstate the tetryon rewards in the disappearing act milestones. That would solve a lot of the issues.

[jaunty bone]

@wanton copper These milestons are WAY too high

I don't see the "significantly reduced milestones" here

[queen kindle]

What level are you?

[jaunty bone]

I'm 35 this is an img from a 39

[queen trout]

@wanton copper trying to contain my “excitement”
On what planet can a lvl 46 with no battleship do this event ? Are we going to spend a lifetime to kill low hostiles with Stellas ?!

[brisk palm]

35

[jaunty bone]

Still absurdly high

[brisk palm]

Mines fair

[jaunty bone]

especially if you didnt build and faction battleships

[vagrant topaz]

how can we expect to complete the recruit ortega meta event if it ends in 24h?

[brisk palm]

I can complete mine fairly quick with pmc

Got a bortas though 😄

[jaunty bone]

I have a bortas so I can grind it out but there are people whose best battleship is a Stella or a Kumari

so they are gonna have to hit over 300 hostiles to finish this

and the higher up you go the worse it gets

[queen trout]

So the math how many of this need keeling to do the event with a Stella .
The people that thought of this events need sacking ….

[manic estuary]

What's with "recruit ortegas"? I see a 24 hr meta and no events

[wanton copper]

For my ops this is only like 20 ships or so?

[jaunty bone]

For mine it's 200+ with a stella

it goes much higher higher up

[wanton copper]

What ops are you and how many points do you need for final milestone?

[jaunty bone]

35 and 20k points

I have ships so I can do it but there are people who can't

[wanton copper]

If they have issues have them reach out to me

[queen trout]

Ops 46 with Stella as a bs . Tell me what to do

[wanton copper]

But this should be really similar to the other hostile hunts

[toxic sinew]

@wanton copper is the recruit meta only supposed to be 24 hours?

[jaunty bone]

We were told that the milestones of this event would be "significantly reduced" in comparison to other HH events

[wanton copper]

With a stella you're hitting 37 surveyors baseline usually

At sub 30

[jaunty bone]

sub 30 no way

[jaunty bone]

I can barely hit 35's

[wanton copper]

I could be wrong let me check my system

[jaunty bone]

oh i was thinking eclipse lol

[toxic sinew]

No. You are likely hitting 29s if you are fairly good on research sub 30.

[vagrant topaz]

I think you are not accounting for different M scores

[wanton copper]

My bad 27

You're right

Wrong number

[jaunty bone]

That's over 1000 for anyone higher up

probably 2k or more

[queen trout]

@wanton copper do I need to kill 1000 eclipse hostiles at 37 to do the event ?!

[vagrant topaz]

no, you will not get points with surveys

[wanton copper]

No I was just saying I was thinking the wrong system

[queen kindle]

Eclipse hostiles are surveyors, you need to go for explorers

[vagrant topaz]

you need to use a bettleship against explorers

[unique wolf]

What ls the answer for 2.1?

[hushed elk]

I had to summon my Augur up to Muhg to do the event quickly, ops 45

[queen trout]

So then the event can’t be done

[toxic sinew]

@wanton copper is this timeline right for the recruit meta event?

[queen trout]

WELL DONE 👏 to however though it was a good ideea

[queen kindle]

This might be kinda hard...lucky there's a mat spend event so I can build a bortas...

[wanton copper]

No you are destroying ships WITH battleships

So you can destory whatever you want

[jaunty bone]

Explorers WITH battleships

[wanton copper]

You're right

I can't read

My bad Coelji

[hushed elk]

😂

[jaunty bone]

no prob

[queen trout]

And those that can’t? What uninstall the game ?!

[unique wolf]

But u can tell us the answer for 2.1...

[wanton copper]

Lemme follow up about this

[jaunty bone]

it's basically impossible higher up unless you have an Augur or higher

[queen trout]

Basically translated : thought s…. You don’t do the event .
I am out 😡🤬

[jaunty bone]

wait for it to post in #993889300989100062

[hushed elk]

Yeah, my tier 8 augur can luckily kill 47/48/49s, did cost me 2 summons though.. But in reality you can just hit more, lower level explorers

[wanton copper]

Not saying this at all sorry if I didn't say that correctly. I'm going to reach out about the scoring for the event

[jaunty bone]

yes, many many many many many many many more

[hushed elk]

I do enjoy how people immediately spit the pacifier out of the pram instead of just waiting for it to be resolved, like any stupidly high scoring events have been done in the past

[jaunty bone]

I'm not spitting I'm trying to get it fixed

someone has to fall on the sword

[hushed elk]

Not you, the child crying about uninstalling

[jaunty bone]

oh ignore them

[astral scarab]

The Ortgeas meta event requires three events to score..... none of which are active. Has anyone else noticed?

[hushed elk]

there's an event live, to kill explorers with a BS

[astral scarab]

that's for the other officer

[vagrant topaz]

no

Rockstar is right, there is 1 event, but the other 2 where supposed to start in the next days

[astral scarab]

ok... but which of the three in the meta is the kill explorers with bs?

[jaunty bone]

@wanton copper also, the 3-day meta event is only 1 day long

[astral scarab]

hostile hunt?

[vagrant topaz]

yes

note the HH at the end

they should use names more consistently thought

[astral scarab]

ok, thanks, I'm off to do that one

I'm sure they will figure out they need to extend it

[toxic sinew]

@wanton copper could you look into the recruit meta and SLB timing please? I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to be 24 hours (as is shows in the SS I posted above and tagged you in).

[wanton copper]

Yeah reaching out about those right now Thoglnash

[toxic sinew]

Thank you.

Sorry for the mulitple pings, just didn't want it to get lost in the other discussion.

[wanton copper]

Also, with a T5 legionary at ops 30 I was able to take out a 34 explorer with PMC and basically 0 hull health

That would be 50 ships to complete

[jaunty bone]

at ops 30

it exponentially goes up after that

[wanton copper]

Trying it with A T5 Kumari and next gen leforge bev and Ta'lan

[astral scarab]

I need to do 120 level 43 explorers

[wanton copper]

What ops are you jxom?

[astral scarab]

i can do it with augur but I don't think one hull

44

[jaunty bone]

what is your top milestone

[astral scarab]

138.97m

sorry k

[wanton copper]

You're also hitting in the triangle, is it possible to hit 44 or 45s in the triangle?

Oh 138.97K?

I was about to say, mil 0_o

[astral scarab]

yes, i have to consider also what systems spawn a lot of explorers

[jaunty bone]

I think the milestones are fine if you have a good battleship for your level

the problem is for those who don't

[wanton copper]

Yeah that's why I'm trying the Kumari with a baseline crew

See how it fares

You're hitting in the triangle, it's not like a surveyor

So you can hit things you normally might not

[toxic sinew]

At 39, I would need to hit 64 level 40 explorers - which might be 2 hulls (either with a T3 augar or maxed bort) if I hit a bunch of surveys as well.

[jaunty bone]

surveys don't count

only explorers do

[wanton copper]

The nice thing is the event double dips into what you're already doing most of the time

Rep grind and dailies

[jaunty bone]

if you have a good battleship

[wanton copper]

True

[toxic sinew]

I know, but I will also be grinding rep and will probably need to clear some to make sure explorers spawn.

[jaunty bone]

if you don't have an Augur leveled above ops 35 you cannot feasibly complete this

[wanton copper]

I can see it being an issue if you only went fed

And didn't double dip rep grinding

[toxic sinew]

Which is when it pays to hate the Saladin

[wanton copper]

^

But I just got my Saladin and I love it.....

Sally go brrrrrr

[toxic sinew]

but the pizza cutter is such an ugly ship

[wanton copper]

LOL

[thick locust]

bigger question is the SLB imo. should we spend in it or wait for it to get reset and extended?

[wanton copper]

https://tenor.com/view/slicing-pizza-baby-yoda-viralhog-pizza-cut-gif-17948164

[jaunty bone]

It shouldnt be reset

launch a new one tomorrow that is 2 days

[thick locust]

well both happened last month

[jaunty bone]

people will be angry lol and it'll take forever to fix scores

[toxic sinew]

This seems to be a pretty angry playerbase, so people will be angry no matter what.

[jaunty bone]

SLB can be fixed easy

[wanton copper]

Coelji I just hit a 34 (at ops 30) with a T5 Kumai and Next gen bev, le forge and talan (Bev and laforge are NOT maxed)

Took almost no damage

[jaunty bone]

SMS is gonna be a problem

[wanton copper]

I think it's totally reasonable to complete personally

[jaunty bone]

At ops 40+ no

[small narwhal]

Huh? At ops 38 my ms is 28.5k and is around 80 hostiles in wolf

[manic estuary]

@wanton copper Is the "recruit ortega" meta really supposed to be one day or is that a mistake? I don't see the second part coming up

[wanton copper]

at ops 40+ wouldn't you generally have a battleship that isn't the Kumai? Or am I mistaken

[hushed elk]

The SMS is meant to be 3 days according to the calendar

[jaunty bone]

they should at least have a Kumari but that will take forever to finish

[small narwhal]

At ops 40 you won’t use a kumari lol

[hushed elk]

it depends on faction choices, people are solo fed and are screwed

[small narwhal]

What are you even talking about

[jaunty bone]

The fed-only tree usually skips the Intrepid

[toxic sinew]

The problem with the SMS is that a significant part of the player base skipped most ships after the Saladin. Not to many of us are crazy ship collectors who gotta build em all trekkiemon.

[queen kindle]

You'd probably have an augur by then, and a larger MS target

[jaunty bone]

Alot of people don't get the augur

[small narwhal]

No. The Meta and slb are supposed to be three days

[jaunty bone]

I think the majority gets an Enterprise

[astral scarab]

you can get the smallest rom 26 ship for very cheap, put officers on it and go to mempa

[queen kindle]

It's 40+, I'd expect most to be trilocked.

[jaunty bone]

I'd hope

but they didn't nescessarily build an augur they might be saving up for a Valdore

[hushed elk]

skipping augur for a valdore is a bloody long wait 😂

[queen kindle]

But yeah, it's only probable. There will be lots of people who do not

[jaunty bone]

Well regardless of the milestones for this event the whole Meta is borked

[astral scarab]

i put on an exo and cerrtios boost for wednesday event combination as well

[hushed elk]

6/7/8/9th is 4 day, no? that's what the calendar and graphic calendar say

[toxic sinew]

This event honestly makes me happy that I chose the 'suboptimal' route of Klingon/Rom dual rep.

[small narwhal]

Even at ops 42 the milestone is 200 odd lvl 38-39 explorers, which isn’t infeasible

[astral scarab]

I'm rom/fed, this is not a bother

[jaunty bone]

IF you have a properly leveled battleship

[astral scarab]

and i have a D4 if we have to do interceptors

[queen kindle]

200 hostiles is possible, sure, but it's also 3x what I'd expect to be "reasonable"

[slow tide]

Yall need to stop complaining about the Explorer HH - SMS
its 40-60 kills for 90% of people....

[small narwhal]

This is what my ign says

[jaunty bone]

No

[small narwhal]

If you’re ops 42 your Stella should do that easily

[small narwhal]

That’s true enough

[jaunty bone]

Ops 42 has much higher milestones

[vagrant topaz]

that is not the meta

[jaunty bone]

so you ahve to hit hundereds of hostiles

[hushed elk]

that's for the single HH sms on right now, not the meta or the spend event

[small narwhal]

I know it’s not the meta, we’re talking about hostile hunt

[hushed elk]

I am talkin about the meta.

and you said

No. The Meta and slb are supposed to be three days

[toxic sinew]

2 issues being discussed: 1 - the targets in the SMS and 2 - the length of the meta and SLB. the discussion is getting a bit mixed.

[hushed elk]

Which is wrong, as it's four days, which was my point

[small narwhal]

Everyone’s complaining about the explorer hh having too high milestones, and you chimed in with “the sms is supposed to be three days “, so thought you were talking about that sms rather than the meta

[icy marsh]

i don't think stella count as battleship, i just tried and didn't get any points

[jaunty bone]

you have to hit explorers

[icy marsh]

i did

[small narwhal]

If the Stella isn’t working the event is really broken 😂

The kumari definitely worked so it’s not faction ship only

[icy marsh]

killed 3 explorers, zero points

i guess kumari here i come...

[hushed elk]

I was responding to the message that was right above me which said

Is the "recruit ortega" meta really supposed to be one day or is that a mistake? I don't see the second part coming up

[icy marsh]

HH is supposed to be 1 day, you can tell since the 3 day event has 3 items listed

[jaunty bone]

He isn't talking about HH

we all agree that HH is one day

[wanton copper]

Let me hit something with a stella

Gimme one minute

[icy marsh]

this sucks that the stella doesn't count, its my highest level battleship

[wanton copper]

Er 6

Have to send a boat out

[vagrant topaz]

are you sure you attacked an explorer?

[icy marsh]

ah i figured it out...

you have to initiate the attack

damn, that bug is back

[wanton copper]

Can we confirm this?

[icy marsh]

i just got credit for one explorer kill when i initiated

zero for the non-initiated

[hushed elk]

the overall Meta is 4 days
Day 1; Ortegas - HH SMS, Day 2; Ortegas - Swarms, Uhura - HH, Day 3; Ortegas - Mine Mats, Uhura - Swarms, Day 4; Uhura - Mine mats

[icy marsh]

i'll test again once my kumari is out

[wanton copper]

Thanks Kiri

[small narwhal]

I think they mean it starts on the 6th and ends on the 9th for three days, since the individual events are only listed for 6th, 7th, 8th

Ugh never mind just so uhura goes further out

[icy marsh]

people earlier were saying the "hostiles only count if you initiate" bug is back in the event-chat channel a few hours ago

[hushed elk]

No.

[wanton copper]

I'm going to test it as well

[hushed elk]

in the meta there is another meta, haha

[wanton copper]

Revenge hostiles at interceptors

I don't think they're ever explorers are they?

[small narwhal]

Hm no Ortega is three days, 6/7/8 and uhura is three days 7/8/9. I think.

[hushed elk]

Augment space

[wanton copper]

Ohhhhhh

Good call

Let me try

[icy marsh]

yes it only works in augment space

[hushed elk]

I went to try, but realised that as i finished the SMS my points don't score at all.. hahaha

[wanton copper]

We're testing it right now

[small narwhal]

The slb is the only thing that’s supposed to be 4 days

[slow tide]

So let me get this straight at 42+ you guys have around a
138,970 Top Milestone
Which would take 65 lvl 45 Explores....
You are telling me you cant do that?

[hushed elk]

That's right, with the SMS/meta all changing throughout the 4 day period

[jaunty bone]

I'm ops 35

I'm trying to bring up that a 40+ person without a good Faction battleship is totally screwed

[slow tide]

if ur 40+ without a good faction ship ur screwed anyways 🤣

[slow tide]

Thank you rockstar

[hushed elk]

people can have a max enterprise and that's it

I have a guy in my alliance who only has an enterprise and jelly and going for valdore

if they built a small BS, and hit level 42s or something, they'd need to kill 229

[slow tide]

My tier 5 augur with PMC can take these out

...

[jaunty bone]

NOT EVERYONE HAS AN AUGUR

[hushed elk]

yeah, my tier 8 augur can kill 49s, but the point was what if they don't have an augur

No augur =/= hit lower levels =/= take forever

[jaunty bone]

In fact, probably the majority don't

[slow tide]

You should have a battle ship at least every 3 tiers of ships at the very least... sooo...

[small narwhal]

Perfect time to max an augur for the slb /s 🤣

[jaunty bone]

MOST PEOPLE DONT

[icy marsh]

ok, start at 20 pts, got hit by hostile explorer, still at 20 pts. hm....i initiated it against the next explorer hostile that spawned...still 20 pts

[jaunty bone]

That's not how the game plays

[icy marsh]

so its not counting the augment explorer 😦

[hushed elk]

even if you hit ones that are idling in space?

[small narwhal]

It counted augment explorers with a kumari for me

[vagrant topaz]

the worms counts

the explorer ones at least

[small narwhal]

But I didn’t try bounty hunters I just hit them

[icy marsh]

the system idle ones work

but the spawning vengence ones don't

even though display says its an explorer

[small narwhal]

I think they’ve gone back and forth on auto grinding working for events

[jaunty bone]

I think he's saying that Bounty Hunters don't work either way

attacking or defending

[icy marsh]

yes, the bounty hunters aren't counting as explorers

[small narwhal]

Hm that one’s weird then

[icy marsh]

regardless of autogrind or manual initiated

[hushed elk]

Maybe the count as a "revenge hostile" and they are deemed not hostiles, so people can't auto complete events

[toxic sinew]

I've always thought that I should have 1 reasonably good ship of each type at all times, though I know that isn't the popular sentiment.

[icy marsh]

they've always worked for all the other events

[icy marsh]

considering the amt of RSS needed, that's just not feasible

[hushed elk]

the definition of reasonably good also varies.. what if you're high 40s and don't have a BS at all? Or a tier 3 augur won't cut it 😂

[jaunty bone]

News Flash: barely anyone builds the K'tinga

[slow tide]

i feel like yall have forgotten the days when there were Missions where you had to kill 200+ swarms just to finish a simple mission.....

[toxic sinew]

Just gotta be slow, and recognize that reasonable for pve means weak for pvp.

[icy marsh]

so...if i spend my rss mats to get this ship upgrade daily...what happens to its contribution to the 3 day milestone that's currently 1 day instead?

[icy marsh]

the game is already slow enough when i gotta grind out 1800 U crystals for my saladin upgrade and getting on average 15 crystals per day from refinery. i don't need to be slower

[toxic sinew]

There is that. I have all three g3 epics, but I was only planning on taking 1 past t3. T3 is reasonable for me at ops 39. I'll probably get them higher from ops 40-42, but I'm concentrating more on research right now.

[icy marsh]

so eco...is it safe to spend my mats for this recruit LB? what's gonna happen, will it be changed to 3 days or are they gonna do a 1 day + 2 day?

the recruit ortegas SMS is now only 1 event (10 pts), they just removed the other 2

[jaunty bone]

technically the same lol

just removed the 2nd one to not have people freak out

[queen kindle]

Doing the event now at 44 with a t2 augur so that seems fine, we should expect 44s to have at least that kind of ship development, ie. free epic and only commons used.

[icy marsh]

seriously though...do they just not have anyone actually proofread what goes into these events? this is just an embarassing amount of continuous screwups over the last month

[small narwhal]

I would assume they’ll have a two day Meta starting tomorrow, and might have a two day slb alongside

[jaunty bone]

I'd hope

what they did last month is pull the 1-day SLB and "re-add" points scored "later"

[queen trout]

Why would you expect that ? Max d4, almost maxed ent , pilum.
Doing this event will require hours of grinding with Stella and thousands of explorers

Having a ship is one thing, ops is almost irrelevant but if you don’t have one as a main obviously you also don’t have research for it .

[queen kindle]

As I said, free epic + common mats.

[spark agate]

Are they running 3 24 hour slbs in a row?

It says this runs 6-9 in the colander

[queen kindle]

Do you have access to building an augur at 46?

[vagrant topaz]

maybe, who knows

[icy marsh]

they screwed up

[queen trout]

No

[icy marsh]

someone read "3 days" and then typed "1 day"

[toxic sinew]

I'm guessing that, at ops 44, it might be reasonable to have enough BPs collected to not need to buy any for an augar.

[spark agate]

What? I’m so surprised by this

[queen kindle]

How many augur bps have you collected?

[spark agate]

144

[queen trout]

55, never cared about the slowgur

[toxic sinew]

Your loss I guess. It's a good grinder.

[queen kindle]

I'd have expected way more than that just from armada chests, honestly.

[icy marsh]

man...i need to kill 200 worms with my kumari to finish this, yuck

[queen kindle]

55 seems unreasonably low, did you rush?

[queen trout]

Don’t get me started on drops ….. had to literally buy my jf , pilum etc because the drops are pathetic . And after spending money in a game scoplay decides to not use their brain

[queen kindle]

This is my set at 44, and I built one of each already

[queen trout]

Never attacked romulans , lots of bp for kornier , etc from Kronos . But nothing from Romulus as it would lower my rep

Anyway , I regret the 3 k spent this 2 months . From now on scoplay can s… it . Good day

[toxic sinew]

I'm sitting at 29 toward a second augar at 39. At that rate, a bit under 60 from armadas by ~44 seems reasonable. But I also hate running armadas and have since they started doing armada events long ago. I would expect more from someone who runs more armadas than me.

[icy marsh]

you need to be at least 10k before they'll care about you

[queen kindle]

Attacking roms wouldn't get you augur bps anyway. It's just from standard G3 armada chests that'd get you a ton of epic bps.

[queen trout]

Right about that . My bad . Point is that I don’t hit romulans for drops and the armada chests ( for me )never dropped anything of importance . After 2 years of doing every event this is the first time I can’t do one . Obviously annoyed

[hushed elk]

I have 772 augur bps, am ops 45, never hit romulans and have built an augur too

I guess it depends on how long you've played, for the bps to accumulate?

[pseudo stump]

It’s unfortunate that for the new officers there isn’t an SMS to go along with the SLB. The officer shards in the meta/meta events seem so low. Idk why they feel the need to change the way they do things on a whim.

[hushed elk]

They've said we get all of the new rares for free by the end of the arc, so I assume that's why there's no SMS which gives 10 shards alongside the SLB

[pseudo stump]

I must have missed that announcement, let’s hope it’s accurate. These are some good officers!

[hushed elk]

The content creators said it, unsure if it Scopely reiterated it or not, but it should be true since all of the CC's said it

[vagrant topaz]

they removed two levels of rewards from the meta, they have to compensate in the next days or that f2p unlockable announcement will no more be valid

[hushed elk]

I expect them to run the SMS again, but this time for the actual proper time span 😅

[modest sapphire]

Other servers lagging as bad as 146 trying to do this battleship v explorer event

[lusty wadi]

This BP event is horrendous what happened to the 10-19 events for his BP??

The Cypher event, with new currency linked to ridiculous rewards random loot chest and officer pulls with 1% for half and epic and full rare. The premium and Ultra chest are 5% and chance of full pull epic ... you not on dropled % to basically none at all, gave no chance for a full pull epic so out of limited number of pulls as can only get so many of the new currency as determined by You Scopley.

And where are all the events for 10-19, can't count Cocmic Clean up as no longer just a BP event and now weekly event. We have had many BPs with mini events like the cypher event and still had many others available to 10+. All events are 20+

This is sad, as already had great deal of negative feedback from last SNW arc, now you snub your 10-19 players this time and cater to 20+ yet want everyone to spend $ on the game. With these packs, after packs, after packs.

SAD

[patent river]

They don't want u to sit at sub 20, they want u to spend and lvl up...

[astral scarab]

ok, weird automod block, don't understand why. i finished the battleship versus explorer even in one hull, about an hour and a half

I am op44, used augor

[patent river]

It was sloooow grind but I guess paired well with Ceritos Wed

[astral scarab]

heck I didn't sit under 20, didn't spend at that level either, i was 39 before I spent a dime

I might have been able to go up a notvch on targets

[wheat pasture]

Hw either bought the lvl to 46 or hes lying about the bps

But yes to many events to little rewards
Game is farmwille, needs more pvp based events
A rerowk of pvp chests too

[queen kindle]

It's possible to get there without having augur bps, but it means they've missed a ton of value on their way up. The count is too low to be RNG so it was a choice to skip, and it's not one I'd recommend, nor do I expect any meaningful number of 44+ to have done the same

[radiant kettle]

Scopely, <@&509691205798592532> this is ridiculous. Recruit Uhura SMS means hitting over 200 hostiles lvl42-44 with Intrepid or Augur if you are not playing Fed. Thus spending several hours on this. Plus the lag???

[queen kindle]

What level are you?

[heavy escarp]

That math isn't right

[queen trout]

Here you go Sherlock Holmes

You can do enough with an enterprise and a d4 and jf

[radiant kettle]

Lvl46

[astral scarab]

@queen troutare you not in an alliance? don't do epic armadas? I have over 600 augur bp's right now at op 44

[queen trout]

Extremely bad RNG

[astral scarab]

i have 600, that's ten times what your screenshot shows

thatt's not RNG

[queen trout]

Getting drops from chests is not rng a ? Ok

[queen kindle]

I did my event in Rixos with a T2 augur, it was pretty easy. That might be an option

[astral scarab]

i have over 400 over each epic G3 ship. If you think you pulled the same number of epic armada chests and gotten ten percent of the ship bps I have you and I have very different views of the universe

[radiant kettle]

I am pretty sure it is

[radiant kettle]

Yeah. But then I would have to pull down my W185 miners in order to relocate there one day before bonus refine, not to mention mycelium in order to deploy them again to W185.

[astral scarab]

you are higher than op44, right? i did this in about an hour and a half

[queen trout]

Good for you , you’re a God. That won’t help the rest of us will it ?!

[heavy escarp]

At ops 46 why are you only going for lvl 42-44. I'm ops 41 and hitting 47s

[queen kindle]

That's a choice you'll have to make for yourself. The event's reasonable for the vast majority of mid G4 players if you build a cheap augur. To me mining isn't worth an event.

[astral scarab]

@queen trouti just don't understand how you don't have the bps. don't get how you are playing, sorry if i am confused

heck it's not even that many rom rep credits to buy the bps

[radiant kettle]

Because I do not want to pull my miners down from W185. First it requires myc to get them there, plus our server is very crowded in those warp ranges... And my T7 Augur can reach only W85 systems. Thus lvl42-44

[queen trout]

I think having 2 max epics and a g4 rare is good enough for 2 years of playing

[radiant kettle]

Yeah. Lousy choice 😞

[astral scarab]

@radiant kettle that's where I was, but since i am op44 my requirement was lower

[queen trout]

Obviously bought pillum partially with credits and rest with money

[astral scarab]

oh, I am op44, don't have pilum. look forward to it

I'm trudging through building upgrades to get to op45

[queen kindle]

Wait, it's a t7 augur that you have? that's even better! You'd destroy the Rixos hostiles easily and you can summon in if you don't want to move your miners

[radiant kettle]

That is the only option. Just did that. But it is still lousy event, being linked to only one type of ships

[unborn igloo]

this event is a joke? i don't kill 200 hostiles with my augur in 24hrs 🙈 😂

[queen trout]

It’s all good mate , all fine . The “vast majority “ of players are ok with the event 👏👏👏🤦🤦🤦

[slow path]

I need 680k Points with augur ist Abt 1900 hostiles as i can max Hit lvl 40 200 is Not that Bad😂

[queen kindle]

I'd try Rixos if you haven't.

If you need 680k pts, try a harder system, same advice as above: Rixos. I used a T2 augur to finish 138k pts in a very short amount of time.

[unborn igloo]

you mean relo? my augur can't reach there 😂

[queen kindle]

Yes, I had to reloc too. T2 has garbo range

[slow path]

If i would have higher bs IT would be easier but tbh If i would need that officer id be more Mad

Why would i need that officer without a bs to use

Stella hunts survey its the only Special bs

Still Hope for an alternte / optimized way No Probst with grinding 200 hostiles

[patent river]

Send a ship that can...and move ur base

T2 Augur pmc can hit 45+ ...ya u can't warp it there with it...that what a disco or meridian is for

[queen kindle]

Unfortunately it'll be more than 200 hostiles, but at least it's an improvement over 1900

[dawn depot]

Crap events crap 😤🐀

[keen remnant]

Any word yet how the officer auction event being 24hrs affects future events?

Like are we getting 4x24hr auctions this week?

Would be a tad insane...

[sullen willow]

Soo m u c h l a a g! This is ridiculous! Again! The game is unplayable 😠

[idle peak]

Is autogrinding supposed to not work with the Ortegas event?

[wide lava]

The Ortega Hostile hunt is another good reason not to play stfc.

I'm not wasting my time killing 3 or 4 hundred lv 45 hostiles, thanks scopely.

[finite sky]

Have to kill over 300 hostiles to complete the event.... we do have a life also you know...😜

[unique hound]

Then hit bigger hostiles. 🤷‍♂️

[unique hound]

What is your ops?

[queen trout]

👆this guy deserves a job at Scoplay. Seems right for the job .

[unique hound]

Nah, I saw their salaries. Terrible.

I am just pointing out the obvious. I also had to get a bit creative but ended up with a supported T4 Augur hitting lvl 50s 🤷‍♂️

But hey if instead of trying something you prefer to kick, scream and throw your dummy out of the pram. Have at it.

[bold lodge]

@wanton copper what is with all the lag cannot do events or dailies server 142 sort this rubbish out

[queen trout]

Some players never went into battleships genius. And are on an ops lvl where even if they build one ( if they have bp), it would be very hard as not having a battleship you only do the minimum required research for that kind of ship . It is possible to be a decent ops lvl with no battleship .
But here comes mr knowitall thinking the solution is to “hit bigger hostiles “ 🤦‍♂️

[indigo oracle]

Cant do dailys because no hostiles loading

[unique hound]

I also didnt go into Battleships. Hence the T4 Augur.
And due to Battleships often having way better base HHP as the other shiptypes they tend to be good hostile grinders. Even at bad research. And Supporting with a Cerritos also goes a very long way to help out.
And yes. That IS the solution. I was also annoyed at first thinking I have to hit 45-47s for hours since those are my usual systems for dailies.
Many players can reach further than they normally need to and just need to think outside their usual routine for a moment.

[bold lodge]

@indigo oracle lag I wonder if any servers are doing the PVP event and it crashed all servers would not be like scopely not to do server stress tests and fork it all up as usual 🤣

[queen trout]

Let me blow your brain: mayflower l, Saladin, enterprise, d4, jf, pillum . Stella ( battleship ). Ops 46.
Say I build the interprid , and lvl it up as much as possible. With my event score how many and what lvl would I have to hit for what amount of time ?
Don’t think you know it all before you criticise others .

[bold lodge]

@queen trout you have a Stella ? It is a battleship scores in the event if you can actually play the game at the moment 🤣

[zealous brook]

Hey Scopely, how am i supposed to do this Explorer HH event? The only Battleship i have is a Stella. would need to shoot all night long to get enough points.Plus with the lag its impossible! Just gibe me the points. And dont do the Event ever again!

[unique hound]

Build an inter and tier it as far as you can then hit 50s while supported. But of course. As I said. You can also just give up instead of trying.

[queen kindle]

You're going to be in for a bad time if you think this kind of event will only run once.

[unique hound]

https://tenor.com/view/the-mental-of-audac-solo-gif-20119294

[queen trout]

You’re missing the point: they need to use their brain before they do the events ( that is 1 ). 2. They need to consider the amount of time that it would require to do this events.
“You should give up “ ? Like I said you deserve a job with Scoplay .
If you think this is the mentality that keeps players in game ….

[queen kindle]

The folder pic shows Uhura too, so I bet she's next.

[unique hound]

You cant even read. I didnt say you should give up. I said you CAN since you seem to be 100% determined to do so and won't even consider attempting it.
An alliance mate just finished grinding it out in 1h. You could be already done too instead of complaining and being resistant to tips. 😂

[queen trout]

You’re on a different planet I swear to God . I did the event it took me 4 h to do. Like I said , the point of this went way over you head .

[unique hound]

Nah. My point seems to go way over your head. If it took you 4h you did it wrong. 🤷‍♂️

You are ops46 and cant reach level 50 hostiles?

[finite sky]

@unique hound
Please, point out how to complete the event in less than 4 hours with the Intrepid....🤷‍♂️

[queen trout]

The only person in game that knows it all and it is unaffected by lag . Nice to meet you

[unique hound]

I was affected by lag

Which is something valid to complain about

[marsh thistle]

The event wasn’t terrible.

[queen trout]

Basically relocate to high lvl systems boost with Cerritos and pray that you don’t have lag

[marsh thistle]

I hit 44-46 hostiles in 120 space for about 20 mins

[unique hound]

https://tenor.com/view/oscars-standing-ovation-clap-clapping-applause-gif-5089552

[queen trout]

But he is too hard headed to understand the rest so will leave him be .
Me knowitall . Scoplay you found your next CEO

[marsh thistle]

I will admit if you can’t get to that warp range it would be a little annoying to do the event.

But then again you should be ops 42+ if you can’t get to warp 120

[unique hound]

https://tenor.com/view/there-cheer-up-buttercup-it-gif-21613666

[marsh thistle]

It’s the same thing I tell people who have to mine using an amalgam or a meridian at ops 40+ after I blow them up. You shouldn’t have moved into the 40s unless you had at least 1 faction miner able to get to low dark space.

[astral scarab]

there will be events for interceptors hitting battleships, and explorers hitting interceptors. Scopely is trying to get everyone to experience all sides of the battle triangle

if you limit your playstyle too much, some of these events will be difficult for you to do

[marsh thistle]

I’m not sure I’ll push for these officers in the SLB to be honest. They seem cool but people are already at 6-9m points in my bracket. That’s 60-90k uncommon materials for 2 blue officers you can get by completing the sms’s

Just not sure I feel they are worth it.

[astral scarab]

I did upgrades I was gong to do anyways. If i get extra shards in the slb it's a bonus

[marsh thistle]

I’m more of a saver. Ops 44 and the SLBs get tough unless you spend which I don’t

[astral scarab]

I save between event, i only do building upgrades during spend events

I am OP44 myself, been here 3 months, will be here some while longer. sooooo much gas

[marsh thistle]

Doooood tell me about it

I’ve got all my docks to 44, 4 of my 5 guns to 43, other is at 41 and still need to upgrade all the science buildings to 44 so I can upgrade my guns to 44

Shipyard is 44 so that’s good I guess

[astral scarab]

The arc events are a l;ittle light on gas I will have loads of crystal when I launch pilum

[marsh thistle]

Yup same.

I’m soooooo far from my pilum. I need like 340k more credits for the pilum

I’m really close to my Newton though

[astral scarab]

I'm grinding the away teams for those credits while I wait

[marsh thistle]

Yea. Only way to do it man. It’s driving me nuts.

[astral scarab]

I want to retire in three years so i am not buying it 🙂

[marsh thistle]

Lol

[patent river]

So the crazy folks that grinded explorers early in the day...guess just crazy. In light of them reducing the amount thoon.

[toxic sinew]

Really, it doesn't bother me if they reduce the amount needed after I'm done or mostly done. I finished and that's all that matters in the end.

[astral scarab]

I had the wednesday events to do anyways. I have a scrub exo factory so I was doing a lot of hostiles anyway

[mighty star]

Need Event Help - Recruit Ortegas Explorer HH - SMS. Shoot explorers with Battleship
My largest Battleship is a T6 Augur. Max Milestone is 608k points for me. My T6 Augur can comfortably shoot a bunch of L47 explorers if I use the Disco to get the Augur there. So 105 x L47 = Event Max. Is the event really meant to be that hard or am I missing something

[toxic sinew]

Double check your top milestone. They should have just reduced those.

[mighty star]

Restarted game - unchanged

Nonsense idea that they force you to use a battleship before anyone has the new officers

I mean Scopely cannot even expect that I have an Augur - that is pure luck

[toxic sinew]

Sorry, just reread the announcement they are going to reduce that milestone, so I guess they haven’t yet.

Just keep checking and grind what you can in the meantime.

[mighty star]

Thanks

[quiet surge]

so if they lower it do we get comp for finishing before they lower it?

[trim gazelle]

Could someone clarify if the Ortegas SLB will be 3x 24 hrs, or just this 24 hrs, one and done?

[astral scarab]

one and done

[trim gazelle]

boo

[astral scarab]

it's in announcements

[visual holly]

So we lose out on the other Ortega shards, the entire uhura meta and sub events AND all the resources that went with the sub events? And the already announced bonus refinery is supposed to distract us ?

[torn depot]

Did I just grind out 28k points for Ortega to have them lower it to 20k? What the heck

@quiet surge yes. That

[visual holly]

Be mad about the events that they are trying to make you forget are disappearing not this one event

[torn depot]

Hahaha ok

Yay, bonus refine?

[visual holly]

Lol which they just moved to tomorrow as a distraction.

[torn depot]

They’re warning us it’s coming

[visual holly]

Yeah but it wasn't supposed to be. They pulled the uhura meta and 5 sub events and put an already announced special refinery in their place. Not a good deal for anyone

[vagrant topaz]

I don't read this on the message, it talks only about the slb, not the sms and uhura meta, am I looking at the wrong message?

[torn depot]

This was 28k+ this morning

Now it’s 20k

[visual holly]

Thr Ortega meta is completing today with only 1 of 3 sub events. They didn't announce they were restarting the rest of it.. nor did they indicate the fate of the scheduled uhura meta and it's sub events

[torn depot]

😕

[vagrant topaz]

for the rest of the ortega meta I am dubious like you, but there is no reason to change the uhura ones

we should expect to have them like they where initially scheduled

[wanton copper]

Are things better for you currently?

[visual holly]

@wanton copper are we getting the remaining sms events for Ortega and the uhura meta and sub events or not?

[light badger]

@wanton copper with all the red pips that have been added, is there any chance we could get one added to the in game responses from customer support??? Seems almost intentional that they cluttered our screen but left that one out.

[mild glacier]

Please fix disappearing act so that it is possible to complete without buying a cloak. Everyone is left needing 10 points to finish but not having enough tetryons to do it.

[vital drift]

There's another day left though, so you will have enough

I do think they should be purchaseable with alliance tokens or something though. Right now I can't use cloaking for fun stuff because I'm always saving them to do events

[mighty star]

<@&509691205798592532> Let me pick up on my previous report: ** Recruit Ortegas Explorer HH - SMS. Shoot explorers with Battleship**
Either this event is meant for people who buy packages in the store or the event has been designed by someone who did not think this through. The only alternative to purchase is pure luck of owning a decent battleship. And nothing in this game to this day forced you to own a decent battleship. I myself have a T5 Pilum, My best battleship is a T6 Augur - pure luck - I might have picked an Enterprise or D4 back then. W.T.F. Scopely !

4 disco relocations. please reimburse the cultivated mycel for 4 relocations in my case

[vagrant topaz]

What don’t you get about them

Also you realise the mods here moderate discord and don’t design game or events right?

[vagrant topaz]

That wasn’t in response to AlphaBank just to be clear 😅

[unique hound]

I did it with a T4 Augur on lvl 50 explorers.
🤷‍♂️
Not a single mushroom spend either because I just moved base.

[fickle dirge]

@wanton copper So why are LV19 and lower players still not being able to get the events like "Recruite Ortegas & Uhura"?

We still getting left out on earning new officers.

Most people are ops 19 for a very short time, not months and months 😉

What was the reason for pulling the remaining Ortegas events? We’re they designed poorly? Too generous?
