💭-suggestions

[vernal magnet]

@gusty jasper It seems like the 5th anniversary was a huge missed opportunity imo. What you could/should have done was to rerun some of the more popular arcs. That would have been a fantastic opportunity to fix bugs, refactoring code and make the game more enjoyable again. You telling us you are aware of issues and not doing anything to fix them for several years is not a smart long term goal. Especially when you keep adding more and more content that not only exacerbates old bugs but adds new ones. All while adding more pay to play features is not being well received by the majority of your customers.

[lament knoll]

Seconded!

[near jungle]

i think that we should havwe better loot for daily rewards/ maybe make things a little easier to get like ships

[livid dagger]

we rly need (30) Wave territorys

[icy marten]

Suggestion
1 fix tbe lagg
2 Fix the lagg
3 FIX the lagg
4.... FIX THE LAGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://tenor.com/view/fifa-rage-angry-dda-crodroll-fix-the-game-gif-16052766

[visual grail]

the scoring on the different wave defenses would be helpful too... i.e. 40s = 300 points per wave, 50s = 600 points per wave (and add 30s at 100 points per wave)

[hushed light]

Remove fog of war on wave defense systems.
Its very helpful to players to see what others are doing.

[drifting imp]

Wave defence should be locked to only players in your alliance allowed to join for the first minute

[rancid crane]

I don't understand the waves defense ... it doesn't affect me, but today I met two level 31 players in the same wave defense, they couldn't kill a single hostile... how are they going to complete events????

[radiant bison]

Hey, next arc can we just not do it? Maybe spend 1 or 10 arcs FIXING THIS GAME so it can be fun again. Just took me 17 minutes to log in, crashed at 7 minutes of play. Only reason I’ve not quit is the $$ I have spent, and the fact when it worked the game was amazing.

[worldly epoch]

WAVE DEFFENCE ISSUES: & SUGGESTIONS:

1. Hostiles are Way to Powerful for the Projected Levels. (Hostiles need to be Tweeked to Represent the Correct Levels,)"lv 30-34 Players die in one hit"
2. Communication Failure. Teams have no way via Ingame to Communiotcate the Wave. (Created Dedicated Channel in Game for the Zone Only Available after you Join) just for coms, or Enable a Voice Channel Option
3. Battle Cool Down "the 5 Second Timer" ( Should be Reduced to Say 1-2 Seconds) our Impulse Speeds are Slowed so the Battle Timer should be reduced or Eliminated
4. Player Filtering Big Annoing: We as Starters \ Leaders should be able to ( Approve \ Star Players). Some players like to have preformed Groups with Plans and Dedicated Ships
5. Allow Non-joined Players to View System to Learn and Strategize (Add Spectator View)

( PLEASE HELP MAKE THIS IDEA GREAT AGAIN) (Make it Playable)

[magic smelt]

This game is consistently getting worse when it comes to lag and bugs. Hire some folks do something call the Coast guard but I've been playing for a long time and it's never been this bad. LPS can't spend any money till you fix something.

[cunning quarry]

Are the devs planning to allow players to run 2 armadas at the same time? Doing 1 per time is becoming a pain. Be bit easy if we could run 2.

[dusky spruce]

Can you tone down the difficulty in the wave defense in the first wave or at least add more survey ships? I'd like to be able to actually do something instead of sitting there waiting while other people have to kill everything

[pliant igloo]

All that is no good if the game isn’t stable. People get kicked out before the first wave.

[worldly epoch]

agreed

[tardy obsidian]

Wave Defense is cool, I do think a couple of tweaks are necessary. First being ships getting stuck in battle when close the starbase needs to be fixed. Secondly, this is a mobile game, and you can't chat and hit hostiles at the same time effectively. We could use something on screen that says what types of hostiles are coming from what direction I.e and arrow or something on screen that says '45 swarm' or '32 borg'. This will eliminate the need for teammates to call out where they need the specialty ships. Third, we need a star system. Way too many floaters and randoms with bad ships and crews just joining and floating. Good feature though! Could just use a couple of things to make it great.

[iron plaza]

@gusty jasper has anyone suggested yet having a dedicated chat for just people in the wave you've joined?

[main bolt]

Suggestion: a medical ship. USS Pasteur.
Acts as a support ship boosting crew, crew abilities, etc.

[pliant igloo]

Suggestion: New Officer with warp range as a captain ability and impulse speed as an officer ability.

[spice turtle]

Remove the asteroids below the system for mobile users. It lowers the frame rate noticeably on galaxy tab s8

[hidden spear]

Expand away team research tree

[nocturne lantern]

Scopely employees should be required to play the game on both Android and iOS because if they did we’d see fixes

[fluid hemlock]

I think that the all officers should be placed with in there perspective factions. This will give an additional way to source all officers.

[near condor]

The waves need to have queues like armadas where you can star in who you want, or at the very least can see whose there before you join.

I don't mind it being open to other people/alliances but I want the ability to star who I want and know who's who.

Too many folks jumping in, filling the slots, and then sitting there doing nothing while the rest put in effort

[worldly kayak]

Wave Defense Suggestions

1. Need more than 2 difficulty zones (Tango/Bravo). Create a 3rd or 4th to accommodate lower-level players who maybe don't have all the specialty ships yet. (I.E. Alpha - caters to Ops 30-37, mostly FRK, including Swarms and Eclipse Hostiles, I.E. Gamma - caters to Ops 38-45, FRK, including Actian, Borg Probes, I.E. Tango - caters to Ops 45-??, including Texas Class, Bioships, Hirogen Hostiles)

2. The difficulty increase from wave to wave is too drastic, please adjust to make it more gradual and less punishing. Hostile ship strength doesn't seem to correlate with Hostile level. It would be nice if it were in alignment with hostile ship strength/level found around the galaxy.

3. There needs to be a lobby or waiting room mechanic that lets the WD starter select people to join based on Ops level and Ship Composition (like a Star-In, Star-Out function)

4. There needs to be a way for the 5 players in WD to communicate, maybe a temp WD chat tab or something. This WD mechanic is a 4/10 fun without coordination, but an 8/10 fun with coordination. Give us a way to coordinate.

5. Give the WD starter an option for Alliance Only or Open to Public. (Make it cost 100 Ciphers to run Alliance Only and 75 Ciphers to run Open to Public)

[long flare]

Stimme ich zu
wichtig wären:

1. die möglichkeit einzuladen oder zu selektieren wen man dabei haben will -> also Lobby für Beitrittswillige
2. ein eigener quickchat für die 5 an der Defense beteiligten um absprachen zu verbessern und taktischer vorgehen zu können
3. ein goody wäre zB die speziellen Feinde zu kennzeichnen (SWM,ACT;BRG...etc ) machts denen leichter die spezielle schiffe mitnhemen

[icy marten]

Nice...got a warning from CARL bot.!!! You should think they have better things to do, like....
FIXING LAGGGS

[queen pelican]

The two are not remotely related. It's an auto filter and has nothing to do with scopely.

[iron flare]

Suggestion on Wave defences: it would be nice to have a separate ingame chat per wave defense for only those taking part in the defence. That would make coordinating the defence a lot easier and also improve inter-alliance coop/contacts

[copper grotto]

The game needs party room chats.
For example wave defence takes a long time to sort out the ships to ensure all hostile types are covered. Then ensure the crews are correct. Then find a system. Recall 4-5 times because some random noob has turned up, all through the same chat that the rest of the alliance is using. And that’s if the whole team is in the same alliance.
You keep adding team mechanics and do not allow the team to communicate effectively.
This is before you take into account the number of different languages the team may speak and the need for a in game translator.

[coral mica]

Can we have at least 10 pulls in the event store. It’s not fun Hitting 1 pull 100 times.

[cobalt wasp]

make the wave systems and events only for ops 42+ players. low players can't help, make it slow and impossible to reach higher waves

[steep lava]

Get the racist on server 97 off

[runic yarrow]

There needs to be a way to report players for being afk in a wave defense

[keen hearth]

There’s so few officers in the event store!

[runic yarrow]

And whoever starts needs to be allowed to kick people who show up with bad crews

[wanton silo]

My suggestion is related to assign officers screen, 90% of the time we know the officer we want, but due to presets being limited, we have to manually assign each time. Please could you add a search bar so we can type part of the name and quickly find the officer

[rapid pulsar]

Would it be possible to get a section added to stfc.space that has all the factions, their levels, and what the locks are, as well as what is unlocked at each level in it?

[sweet thistle]

Could we add a scoreboard/recap to a wave defense? Break it down by player and hostiles killed, damage done, etc? Really need a way to track involvment of randoms.

[nocturne lantern]

Could we stop adding stuff and maybe make the game stable? Game doesn’t need any new features/loops, it needs stability… maybe delete some useless stuff like ASB, worms, swarms, etc. if insistent to keep adding stuff! 😒

[sudden cipher]

Get rid of the pathetic battle simulator.. maybe that'll free up some server capacity so we can read events.

[bleak owl]

@gusty jasper A small request to the current event store. I would be grateful for the implementation of the following thoughts.

1. Add buttons for 10 chests and 25 chests or just make a slider with a choice of the number of pieces.
2. Increase the number of available blueprints from 100 to 200.

[vocal rune]

Excellent point on comms. The chat interface is not up to snuff for the kind of coordination we need…Discord is not a great workaround.

[rancid crane]

@gusty jasper Wouldn't it be a good idea to put a specific chat for those who are in a wave defense?

[fresh fiber]

@gusty jasper If you are going to limit how many of a thing we can buy can you make that clear please.

Now stuck with half a refit #Livid

[pine orbit]

In wave defense there must be the possibility of removing participants. It happens all the time that players line up (1 ship) and don't take part. Just to grab the rewards! That's not fair!

[paper burrow]

we need a kick function for waves defences - since our enemies with small ships join the waves and we can't kill them), we need to change a lot of systems to find systems without them and make extra server loads... it's also better to show us the current wave defenders if any in the wave system before we can join with them to the wave

[split geyser]

Addendum to all my previous suggestions:

1. Looking for Group system. Seeing as how the Defense Wave setups are static every time it would be nice to be able to form random groups with specific needs in mind i.e. LF Ops40+ need Int and Exp etc....

2. Take out the timer for defense wave starts. Give us ample time to get ships buffed and arranged to our liking and let us click start now instead.

3. Give us a tic box for "alliance joins only" to keep down on having to cancel to get rid of greifers

That's it for now I'll be back though

[tacit wadi]

you made an event in which low level, qualifing players have had 2 ships that could be killed. I am lvl 37 and beat the 303 ship and a 3 mil ship and that is it. So there is a whole section of wave defense i cannot do or win

[tight pecan]

The level 40 Section 31 mission that requires surviving one round of the level 50 wave is nearly impossible. Must have multiple high 50s to low 60s players supporting in order to accomplish it.

[light nymph]

So level up or wait till a big starts one there

Suggestion: we need another chat tab for waves

[warm perch]

Would it be possible to fix it so everyone in an alliance can see everyone else in that alliance that is online. This would be very helpful for everyone in the alliance. To be able to see who else is online.

[vestal mesa]

With the addition of wave defense how about some beefy impulse exocoms for battleships!

Woulda been a awesome idea to make the borg cube way faster since it is in the movies. And woulda made it usefull in wave defenses. That would give it a purpose if it was zippy!

[royal hazel]

Thanks for getting me unstuck from that wave defense. Maybe time to revisit that self destruct function for our ships?

[pliant igloo]

Someone thought I was sitting when in actuality, I was kicked from the game. He rescinded his nasty gram after I explained what happened.

[vestal mesa]

Add a little disconnected bubble above player ships! Would solve the above issue.

[royal hazel]

Oh, heck no! You tryin to get us all raided?!

[vestal mesa]

Lol I hadn't thought of that lol

[weary badger]

.
Battle Simulator
It would be great if you had a:
Lasers
Torpedoes
Shields
as buttons to press .. in certain orders (like a guitar hero)
and every miss would drop your shield/hull (successes result in target shield hull damage)

[thorn shore]

Scopely lag would make this near impossible but it's a cool concept

[pliant igloo]

Two months in a row with Chakotay as the feature in the Multiphasic Hunter event? You guys could have gone with the Borg Queen, Belanna Torres or any other recent rare/epic officer. Keep it interesting.

[onyx kernel]

Another one for you - ISS Jelly in event store when?

[random granite]

Fix the stupidly out of balance ship power and the idioticly placed pvp brackets. Do better.

[lost swan]

200 moonaveen blueprints in event shop 🙏

[tardy cosmos]

The limit should definitely be no less than how many it takes to unlock, imo.

[green drum]

ferengi whip is missing in store as well

[royal depot]

Warum nicht komplette monaveen BP im Eventshop 👿

[ocean minnow]

Denn Scoply ist ein geiziges, gieriges Unternehmen, dem mehr Geld am Herzen liegt als der Spaß und die Zufriedenheit der Spieler

[jaunty pumice]

suggestion for next arc … no new content just fix the available one that finally everything works and call it „the great fix“

[slender lance]

i would be even afraid of that one, at least this repeated bug fest prevents me from throwing more money 😅

[flint oxide]

for the next arc remove the wave defense

[glossy pine]

The arc begins with re-breaking everything and has an IMS that must be completed for the fix to be applied?

[queen pebble]

Just a small QoL suggestion: When showing mission markers on the galaxy map - also show me which mission it belongs to. That way I can find out what it's about, including for example whether that mission relates to killing a particular mission hostile that is/was too strong last time I visited.

Same to mission dialogue - have a title somewhere that shows which mission the dialogue belongs to. Sometimes you may do more than one at a time, so it would help to see in what context.

[mortal blaze]

Hi wouldn't it be cool when you can use the skills in the battle simulator for real batteles then you take the battle over from your officers, because apparently we can do it much better than the trained for the battle officers

[queen pelican]

🤨

[coarse plume]

The ability to dump specific cargo in a ships cargo hold.

[south saffron]

Fix existing content before rolling out new content

[rustic granite]

Scopley get g6 ppl out of g5 leaderboards, it’s a joke. G5 ppl can’t compete w g6. I’m done spending a penny on this game! This game is dying because of corporate greed. Not to mention nothing works as it should 🤷🏻‍♂️…🐌🐌

[tardy obsidian]

G6 needs their own bracket, this is absolutely ridiculous!

[sage rock]

reset servers skopido

[split geyser]

Addendum to my already novel of a suggestions list:

New event!

King of the Hill

Players could pay a token to enter a system leveled for their respected PVP ops bracket and subscribe to be king of the hill and take on all opposers that would pay their tokens to try and take them down.

Sms- could do this as a succeed/fail for points
King of the Hill XSLB- see who can hold it the longest across multiple servers
King of the hill ALB- the alliance with the most time holding KOH position

[cloud oyster]

I actually think that'd be fun

[split geyser]

Omg it'd be great for the players. It's simple, creates healthy PVP and would sell real $$ packs like hot cakes to cold soldiers.

[soft lava]

Scopely please sell STFC to some other company, thank you.

[wet atlas]

Eco & @everyone. If it’s going automatic, the armada “gift” start, should that be in a pre launch announcement or before you click to received, we are around the world in time zones, and living our lives and trying to play when “it is free time” for us. And yes, it is annoying.

[soft lava]

Please

[void zealot]

Book Of Clicks:

[vocal hamlet]

Excess bp trade in, along the lines of transporter patterns....

[timid nimbus]

Start giving out higher amounts of 3* uncommon/rare. Even with bonus refineries and events its a drop in the ocean. At some point surely you consider a game should be fun and not just a long, long wait or constant spending?

[radiant bison]

A-men

[sly pawn]

Please please please take some time off new content and work on game stability

[bleak owl]

1. Return the exchange of G4 ship parts in the Voyager and Feesha section, After the ship's tier changes from G4 to G5.
2. Add rare G4 ship parts to the scrapyard exiting from G3 ships.

[torpid meadow]

I understand why DEEP SPACE systems are hidden, but please can we have a way of sending our ships straight to DEEP SPACE ARMADAS without having to wait until the ship arrives in the system then move it again, at busy times this can easily be forgotten and I don't see how having a direct to armada button would break the game.

[mortal blaze]

Why is there in the event shop by officers a possibility for buying 10 shards at the same time, but for ship blueprints you have to click them one by one? It is very annoying to click 20 times on the ship blueprints for the full unlock

[neat loom]

There are too many "N's" in Conn.

[magic void]

@gusty jasper and STFC developers. It is obvious that you're not going to fix the game or implement good qc and beta testing; so, please move the Clear Localization button to the main screen to make restarts faster with fewer steps.

[real quiver]

Wave defense should prolly have its own chat so you can coordinate? And it would be nice to at least see the leader’s name/alliance before you Join a WD - giving you a chance to reconsider joining (and getting time locked if/when you leave early).

[ocean hawk]

Bases now have mycelium generators and ships can jump anywhere they want. Brought to you with Voyager, the final season.

[cosmic arch]

You can turn on confirm latinum spending in the game settings. But you can not turn on faction credit confirmation for spending? Those credits are worth way more than latinum! You have us confirm spending 15 latinum to repair ship which I appreciate cause I can choose to do it or not but to not have a confirm button on some of the credit purchases in the faction store is riddiculous! I've spent over a 100k cridits to date on accident even buying two avatars I never wanted, as well as other large purchases! confirm buttons needed on any and all faction purchases! Even a repair of 15 latinum will warn you to confirm or cancel! Common scamley! Get it together!

[royal hazel]

<@&509691205798592532> Can we get it so that leaders of a wave defense can boot others? We've got some people who are joining with a miner and having everyone else carry the weight of defeating the waves. I can't blow them up so booting is the next best thing. 🤬

[brave bronze]

It has been requested, and I'm hopeful. In the meantime, best you can do is just change systems with your team if you notice a single miner in one.

[cosmic arch]

any idea what happens if host leaves? does the host become next person who joined or does timer start over or does it get canceled and everyone booted?

[queen pelican]

next person in line is the host, nothing changes except now you have one less person to kill things with

[queen rain]

Back again.... Then again, maybe not...

[queen rain]

If I may make a couple of suggestions.
First create a login capability for regular users in the initial loading screen to avoid having to create a new account every time an account gets lost.
Next, create a special alliance, run by Scopley, allowing only accounts level 11 and below so they have a place to stay while waiting for their account to be recovered from a beginner account.
That would make it easier for the players to communicate with Scopley support although any screenshots and video would still require alternate methods.
My suggestion for the Alliance name and tag would be Here We Go Again, HWGA
How you implement this is up to you. (You may want to block gc access and limit AC access to whatever technical expert is handling the Alliance leader position)

[bitter abyss]

Or just remove it from the store completely. If you cannot get it. Why have it there.

[brave bronze]

100 bps should get you half a mona, so two end of arc event stores can supply enough for a ship. Not fond of the limit either, but I don't see how removing it from the store makes things better.

[timid nimbus]

Refining of 3* (or higher materials) needs to produce way higher than the current average of 11 (if lucky, sometimes 0) of uncommon, never mind the chance of 2 or 3 rare. It's the simple foundation of moving your base and ships forward, yet materials required, compared to any game worth it's salt are like crumbs scattered on the floor. The nickel and dime mentality, for me doesn't make sense and is becoming tiresome.

[blissful spruce]

When setting a team for an away team mission, it would be very helpful to see the officers' traits on the assignment screen instead of having to search them one at a time through several steps to find the right ones for a particular mission

[small lava]

When will Scopely get it...STOP ADDING NEW CRAP WE DON'T WANT, until you fix the issues we already have. Game is virtually unplayable today.

[dusky spruce]

Maybe add Pattern Buffers to the event store 😁👍

[severe bronze]

please put all the "Whaleroic" events behind their own tile/folder/whatchawannacallit so i dont have to scroll over 10 pay2win events to go to my daily events

[drifting imp]

Remember when you put special limited time offers for officer shards in the event store? Maybe do them again?

[fallow ravine]

1 month debuff that forbid to join WD for afkers

[fallow ravine]

💩ley will give comp chest 1-3 times per month with "💩 we don't need" and it's ok 🤣🤣🤣

[charred whale]

So it looks like you can join a wave leave and get points wow 👏

[fallow ravine]

People are going to wd with 1 ship and afking

[midnight tartan]

they will not do that. we don't know what we want. scopely has an agenda and they are blindly blasting ahead with it.
bug fixes, and content releases in one neat little broken package, every time.
no other game i know of does that.

[languid field]

Either add a partial for the Monaveen or allow full pulls in the event store. Does me no good with only 1/2 the parts

[bleak owl]

Why limit yourself to three or four inventory slots in sections, isn’t it easier to make a drop-down list of resource materials related to the processing section or faction? The first three (two) cells are the most used, and in the fourth (third) there is a drop-down list of available materials that can be implemented as faction reputation.
P.S. it seems that no one from the scopely not plays in STFC

[novel cargo]

This screen colour is so bad. May be change it

[bleak owl]

But you shouldn’t hope for it, everything related to dynamics is difficult in stfc, everything can be realized, but for this they need minimal desire.. Therefore, it is better to have a static value as in all other cases (sarcophagus, discovery, etc.)

[steel marten]

Can we get a hotkey for "attack"

Also the prompt disappearing after pressing attack all sucks too, allow me to free move the prompt around/

[ember tundra]

Honestly just want a game that I play more than seeing the loading screen

[steel marten]

Not wrong there. It would be nice if we could just compile a list of what is broken, the solution, and suggestions for improving, send it to the devs and they "live fix it". For e.g. Google spread sheet? Devs = turns the fix/solution/suggestion green when done.

Would actually benefit them more = more money

[ember tundra]

I agree but does no good the only way to get their attention is $$ I played five minutes total with 4 resets that is unacceptable

[steel marten]

Fair enough, don't think they realise once people go... People, even if you fix it AFTER they've left. They ain't coming back. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[neat loom]

Thats what this discord is "supposed" to be for, but in actuallity its uterrly useless except to offer tips from players to players across servers.

[iron plaza]

How about you make your support team respond in less than 24 hours if you’re going to run 24 hour events they you can get stuck in? Never seen a company with more useless support.

[atomic zodiac]

I'm not going to say the game is unplayable right now, but it is unenjoyable. Barely playable, it's limping along; I'm able to get a few things done between lockups/restarts, but it's not fun anymore. I suggest focusing on the stability of existing features, rather than features no one asked for in a game that plays like pre-alpha software.

[severe juniper]

Wave defence: there should be an option for the leader to kick players out who just join with one ship only for grabbing event points and not actively playing.

[atomic zodiac]

IMO the answer to "there are 25 things to do in the game every day, but lag and crashes are so bad that nobody can do them all" is not "let's make it 26." Also BTW, I know it's not the programmers' fault; it's their managers who decide what they work on, and higher ups who decide overall business strategy.

[austere tree]

Let us change game's quality from hd to low.
DO IT

That'll fix ur server overload issue, root cause of all lag.
@turbid heath

[boreal zealot]

Said it before, let the ordinary red hostiles be like the yellow, make the client calculate those to reduce server load.

[turbid heath]

So you're saying the lag issue is your device then? because that won't help the connection/server side... also, why tag me for random stuff? Stop it.

[halcyon surge]

@turbid heath Is there anything new from the powers that be? I see an update about Troi, but nothing about bug fixes. Might be a good idea to suggest to update more regularly to the annoyed masses.

[surreal wadi]

1. Stop releasing new content and start fixing bugs.
2. Enough with 3 BPs. Don't continue that. One is plenty, especially when all the good rewards are money-locked.

[twilit dagger]

Bring Tal back to the scopley store for a full unlock for the players that dont have him. Thanks

[fringe turret]

Please make the channel https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/971166351253209148 an announcement channel so we can have it on our own Discords

[bronze sail]

Can we get an exalted survey research? Have one for warships that you actually use to hunt hostiles. Grinding millions of XP in a survey is my biggest annoyance right now. So many other items released and tasks to do, I think XP between survey levels should be addressed. Surveys mine faster when leveled up so less time on mines, maybe more mine availability. Better quality of life all around.

[pastel hemlock]

This is pulled from last years 2022 RoadMap for 2023.... Game Lag/Performance
An issue this year has been the game performance/lag, especially during events like Infinite Incursions and competitive Territory Captures.

Improving lag and performance is a major focus for our team, and something we have constantly been working to improve. We don’t want to introduce awesome new content and features every month if the gameplay experience for our players is suboptimal.

To give you all some context, lag and performance in general are not simple things we can fix in an instant. They are complex and involve many different code paths on both the client (game app) and back-end servers.

We wanted to share with you some of the improvements our dedicated engineering team has been working on and where those changes are in the pipeline (see image below).

As you can see, we recently released several improvements like the revised battle engine and alliance contributions changes that had significant performance impacts plus daily reset scaling improvements that helped with the event refreshes at 9am PT.

More improvements are planned for 2023, and we hope you will start feeling a positive change in performance in the next few months.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My question is....where are these improvements? Are they disguised as some sort or pack to purchase?

[soft thorn]

Do you remember I suggested adding a short description and a small event to each system with a nice prize to satisfy the craving for space exploration? A brief remark: anyone who flew with Shepard on the Normandy and explored planets and systems using a scanner will understand me 😉

[drifting imp]

Stop running the Cardassian event in it's current form, just stop it. The scoring system is totally broken.

[boreal zealot]

Agree. Need to be strong enough to kill the biggest or else spend far too much time in front of the screen grinding..

[red notch]

I suggest taking a couple of months off from arcs and work on the bugs in the game. Give players more then a month to play with new mechanics before throwing the next shiny thing at us.
Having the game stable enough to play would be a good thing.

[pastel hemlock]

I have a suggestion......Scopley, check your internet connetion, mine is fine.

[shell harbor]

@pastel hemlock 😂

[oak wigeon]

@gusty jasper PLEASE, can Scopely take a brake for 4-6 weeks, and Fix "all" major problems? It's no fun at all to devote my free time to this, actually beautiful, game.
It's a shame that I'm already afraid of an update. Maybe you should minimise to Swarm Sunday, Latinum Monday, ??.Wednesday, Apex Thuraday for the time being, at least that works

[queen pelican]

One of the devs let it slip that they'll never do that because pushing the new stuff is more profitable

[gritty mica]

Here's a suggestion. Fix the game.

The people running this game are the most inept and useless people out there. USELESS. I hope the game servers crash and burn and they lose all their data. Maybe then they'd fix it.

[pliant igloo]

Very unnecessary making a Wave Defense season pass. Players are already tired of the feature. Especially since the game can’t support it.

[hearty sluice]

Can you add a half Monaveen pack to the shop to go with the fact that you only give us half of a Monaveen in the event store.

[latent belfry]

you can get the BPS for it the same as the ISS Jelly.. Also they have it as a ship u can get from this new arc.

I wish they would let us trade our lower ship BPS to new players or turn them in for something useful.

[green notch]

Guess, that haven't aged well 😄

[cunning jackal]

you can already trade them in. build the ship tier it up/lvl it up, scrap it, profit. @gusty jasper where is the partial Monaveen unlock pack? I'm willing to spend 50$ to get the other 100 BPS, but I'm not spending 100$ when I already have half of them.

[ember tundra]

With respect scopely please stop adding new arcs instead do a 5 years of remembrance of STFC. Rehash and run past events for several months to let those that missed them enjoy them again. While working on the backend to fix issues. While Running events from previous arcs allow players to spend old currencies. Add a new system where arc store currencies are removed two months after the completion of arcs. Set a small amount like 5-10 k event currency that could be carried over. Remove all of the unused items from players inventories that serve no purpose to help lighten the load. I personally think it would fit well after the 5 year anniversary but just a few suggestions Ty.

[ember tundra]

Also release packs for many officers to make up lost revenue on the lack of new materials and allow some of the harder to get officers. Lastly I’m sure it would be greatly appreciated by many players to add a way players not in an alliance large enough to have territory a way to get the same benefits like particles, and Bps

[hasty zinc]

Make assaults relevant and redefine territory!

I think there is a way to do both without adding any currencies. I think territories need to be fully customizable. That include resources an alliance can decide to put in. Each resource would still be tied to a territory level (3* in 1* territory). This uses resources from alliance contributions and from station mining (and by doing assaults).

There is the potential to add buildings to alliance owned territory. For example: tachyon detection grid, warp slingshot/ transwarp hub, defense turrets set to attack alliances with certain diplomatic relations. These would all cost resources from Starbase mining/assaults.

All building could be tied to alliance level too. This would make for more action in territories and give a reason to do assaults.

With territories reseting every 3 months as well, this could inject some major battles for certain territories.

[lunar mason]

yeah constantly having leftover currency from events or whatever is annoying and surely doesnt help the serverperformance either to have more and more uselsess stuff in the inventory..

[stoic brook]

• Group chat for wave defense
• Alliance only option for wave defense
• queue players not in an alliance group and match groups for them

[quick vale]

Alliance only option for wave defense 2nded if not possible atleast give people a kick player button , it is infuriating trying to set up a wave defense with alliance just to have 3 leechers jump in that sit idle

[shy horizon]

Love Wave Defenses. Please nerf the hostiles a bit. At this point several level 45+ ships are dying on wave 3. I’m ops 41 and I’m dying by the second wave.

[devout loom]

@gusty jasper please pass on that a lock and boot feature needs to be added to wave Defenses please and thank you

[timid nimbus]

Waves - people start and don't join in. 0 kill should means 0 points or at least 0 lost player ships is 0 points. If this is actually supposed to be for everyone then create a level 30-35 wave. 3 times today I've joined someone with no ships/doesn't want to take damage so a wasted space. Needs addressing. I'm only lev 35, but my enterprise and mantis at least go boom after helping on tier 1-3. I like the random teams, but punishment or new area for lower levels required.

[peak basin]

i do like the new wave defence but even as a lvl 52 player some parts are tough, it was advertised as available to lvl 31+ players i dont see how a lvl 31 can take part. I know thery can kill the miners but in a hostile kill event thats not really helpful and they 2 lower lvl players in my allinace wont take part due to thinking they are holding us back. Its a really fun mechanic that with a couple of tweaks will be really popular, first the ships are way over powered in it a lvl 28 faction ship is around 100k in the waves its 5 mil thats really bad (yes miners are 300 but lower lvl players then dont feel involved). simple solution is lower the power of all the ships in there ( maybe get rid of borg swarm and actian ship so its just faction ) or have more rings and different power lvls, have a lvl 30 lvl 35 lvl 40 lvl 45 and lvl 50 ring, each one sis slightly harder and like armardas the higher you go the better the rewards are. This means bigger pkayers can help the smaller ones puch up and the smaller players can do them alone to feel the same achievent. One huge issue is the multi allinace thing yes it can be fun but maybe add a mechanic where the leader chooses if its for his allinace or open to all, open to all would give more rewards due to the random nature of it. When a wave is launched the allinace chat should get a notification as well just like an armarda and then we can join. The open to all would still give a notification in allinace chat as well at the moment its a delay in starting one and having to go to galaxy view then post cords to your allinace. THe thing that would help as well is being able to see from galaxy view who has launched a wave defence as it is your unsure when you join who is running it also if we have it open to all we could use a wave defence chat window so you can talk to the other members in it as it stands trying to send pms to someone of another allinace during the defence is impossible too many ships get past. I do really like the mechanic ive had great fun its just too strong for smaller players and the multi allinace thing isnt really working

[final sand]

👆 DITTO!

[bleak owl]

Wave defence

1. Add ready button
2. Team chat
3. Timer with a view from the galaxy
4. Place counter with a view from the galaxy
5. Kick button

[latent belfry]

You can get it without paying for it I did this.. U just use the juice you get from the ongoing event for the bps. I meant trade them to lower level players in our alliance...

[thick cosmos]

There’s a limit of 100 bps and the ship needs 200 to build

[latent belfry]

You can also get them in the alliance store once a week just need the refiend ISO and you can get 16 at a time..

[thick cosmos]

If you’re in an alliance that holds one of those three 3* territories, and the vast majority of players aren’t.

[marsh knoll]

We really need some better in-game means of communication. Some kind of chat for those Wave defenses in which one can speak to the team would be quite nice.

[vestal mesa]

That's a bad idea cause when the first dummy screws up it will get all toxic and stuff.

[willow cliff]

#FREE THE GAME. Sort out all the errors before adding new content that will, again, make the game unplayable.

[trim hornet]

my suggestions is to put out a good compensation gift for all this troubles we have been getting all this days and fix the bugs once and for all instead of creating more everyday. Thank you!

[distant dagger]

I'm level 30 but would like to change the server because the server I'm on is becoming increasingly toxic. Can't you introduce a token where you have the opportunity to change the server at least every 6 months so that you can enjoy the game in peace without the children starting to stress for no reason? I would like to keep my progress.

[pliant igloo]

Servers would be too lopsided. I mean, they are now but it would be even worse.

[vestal mesa]

@pliant igloo nah they just need to open travel to the lower populated servers and close travel into the more populated servers gated travel would help balance servers.

[distant dagger]

That's a good idea. that would even stabilize the servers

[halcyon vector]

Just like in RTS Games like Command and Conquer, I want to be able to place a beacon in wave defense so I can alert the other participants to gaps where there are enemies but no coverage. This would be helpful since there is no special chat for the wave participants.

[lost swan]

give 200 moonaveen bp in event shop , cmon , dont be a grinch this year 🙏

[slender lance]

it is simple, you did not respected and followed 105's RoE, therefore got voted as rogue ally and get targeted by all others allies

[queen harness]

Can we update the 7 day chest and 30 day chest to be level appropriate as I am a level 55 receiving 4 star stuff. Also the Cerritos Wednesday event same thing and the list goes on for stuff like that.

[queen pelican]

if only

[swift lily]

Need an alternative metric for solo players to obtain Section 31 credits/rep for the faction store. Solos cannot complete Wave Defense.

[magic smelt]

Yeah get some people that know what they're doing so the game doesn't lag. And suck so much

[cloud oyster]

This is a MMO. When people choose to play solo, they have to understand that there's going to be things they'll not be able to do. Wave defense isn't the first thing a solo players can't do and likely won't be the last.

[lyric vessel]

either remove the banner or actually add some new officers...ultra packs havent had new officers in like what a YEAR??

[pulsar hedge]

Suggestion: stop using wish.com servers, clowns.

[small oriole]

Hire programmers who don't suffer from parental siblings issues

[light nymph]

Suggestion: we need a new chat tab for waves

Suggestion: Comp chests be announced with new arc update because they are always broken

[indigo gyro]

Create a wait line to join Server for all Players and Players who payed in last 60 Days for the Game get a Skip wait line Option till your Servers can handle the Playbase again.

[pliant igloo]

Expand Augment Space to level 40 and 50 plus hostiles for auto grinding.

[soft forge]

Fix your game

[idle linden]

i gave a change suggestion : enable diplomacy on user level.
so we can befriend users that are not in a alliance, or enemize players without having to make the whole alliance an enemy. would be useful sometimes...

[distant dagger]

That's a good idea. However, the player marking should only be visible to you, otherwise you can exploit the system and turn the entire server on the player without him being able to defend himself

I had a suggestion: In open space you should only be able to attack the same player once, and then there is a cooldown so you can't attack the same player again. Exceptions would be PvP areas, events and the alliance area.

[idle linden]

it would be an alliance thing, we - as alliance - are friends with that single player ...
or we - as alliance - are cautious towards that single player, no matter what alliance he belongs too

[distant dagger]

The problem is, just because there is a problem between two players, it doesn't mean it affects the entire alliance. And most people probably don't even know what it's actually about and why, for example, a player was classified as hostile.

[idle linden]

some time ago, we had a rogue solo player who changed names all the time and just attacked members of our alliance. would have been great to tag him, so les powerful members could spot him and run for it.
or befriend the lone player that is our neighbour now

[distant dagger]

I think the idea is really good 🙂 I just think every player should be allowed to decide when to mark and when not. In the case of extreme problems like the ones you experienced, you can write this in the alliance chat and then everyone can tag this player. Or you can share the player's name in the alliance chat, that would also be an idea

[idle linden]

nice nuance! maybe your idea is better than mine!

what do you think of a suggestion i've made after the last incursion : #💭-suggestions message

[distant dagger]

Your idea is really good 🙂 but fair play is also important so all advantages and disadvantages should be considered 🙂

[idle linden]

diplomacy is an alliance thing, no? not visible for others. so a personal enemy of our alliance , is safe from the rest

[distant dagger]

This is server dependent. There is a Discord on our server and everything is visible there. Any conflict between the alliances is disclosed there and the server itself sets its own rules and ignores the RoE. That's why I'm thinking about it too

[idle linden]

oh... didn't know that... thought it stayed ingame

[distant dagger]

That would be nice. but my server is extremely toxic because of Discord, for example

[vestal mesa]

How about you give the whales a big comp chest really big. Then take the time you need to fixe this crud properly. If there well compensated the whales won't quit and the rest of us need the repairs to be done!!.

[idle linden]

what about an alliance can have users as friend, but that isn't reflected in diplomacy towards other alliances. and only visible for the members of the alliance, no-one else.
(we're a small dutch-speaking alliance, and it would be nice to befriend other dutchspeaking players in other alliances)
but only befriend, nothing else

[zenith wedge]

If charging a currency to start waves then repairs need to be free. Wave instances need to take place outside of normal play mechanics. The 5 second battle animation needs to be dropped in waves too. It slows down the gameplay in what we can assume was intended to be fast paced but is in actuality just a slog until it's over. Needs at least two more brackets for wave levels. Current brackets aren't allowing low and mid players to complete and that causes animosity and disconnect from the mechanic. It just isn't fun. Lots of games out there have done wave defense as the core gameplay, there's no excuse for releasing such an untested and boring mechanic that this is.

[pulsar hedge]

That stupid 5 second battle animation should’ve been cut to 2 seconds maximum ages ago. I think the coders are so bonged that they like the ultra sloooow animations in game, like the officer shard animations, Jesus Christ, frontal lobotomy or a truckload of weed.

[hollow hawk]

I suggest a 'private button' on initiating a wave defense that allow joining the team to the alliance members only. too often we have agreed on a team and after starter enters the system and post it to the ally already some other players joined and blocks a place for some of our team. Not always you can persuade them to leave again. Frustrating for ally mates who cannot join as we often setup teams with different strengths and types of ships.

[glacial tartan]

What do you mean? I've watch that animation go on for 10-15 seconds sometimes firing at random people across the sector, and in borg space, you can have a light show of firing events between multiple ships that aren't even firing when you are.... oh yeah, totally spaced out 😉

[fallow ravine]

After 5 min i gave up

[candid sinew]

I would like to suggest not taking more than a week (and still counting) to unstick a player's ship. First response took four days and the "fix" did not work. Still waiting for a second response to follow up on their failure at fixing my stuck ship and unblocking my dock (I only have two, so losing half of them is an issue).

[dark zenith]

Dm me your ticket number please

[sharp python]

better sourcing for officers. these events make me want to be a low level player, giving them access to bev, moreau and stuff like that. some of us in the 30s would love to level up "useful" officers one day.

[atomic ocean]

At this point anyone suggesting they add anything to this mess of bugs and crashes needs to give their head a wobble!

Only thing anyone should be “suggesting “ is……….

FIX GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[surreal wadi]

Honestly. This game is starting to remind me of Sea of Thieves. Developers more worried about pushing out new content and not fixing the existing bugs. And then having to hot fix the same problems over and over and over again because they don't QA well enough. Your community isn't going to fault you for taking time to fix bugs. The game is laggy and too many things are broken. Fix it.

[idle linden]

suggestion : the ability to change the crew while the ship is NOT docked. Just rearrange the crew that is on the ship. so i can have a miner jump to another mine and change it's captain to the expert in that resource. in-flight. otherwise i have to recall just to switch crew within the same ship.

[gilded isle]

Scopely; if you are having server load issues, I have a server build that was meant to be a personnel combo server but the build price might be an issue for you though for parts alone.... let me know if you want it?

[mortal herald]

Now I tried to download the rare anomaly sample, but in half an hour only 2 places were shown to me in one system and I was alone in the system, another player was there with me for a while, but he flew away after a while. System refresh to no avail. It is not a problem to load a million common anomaly samples, but I would load a rare with this style maybe in a day. I used to see the rares there much more often. This happened to me in two of the most accessible FSEP systems. I'd rather kill species 8472 than wait another hour for another rare.

[hasty topaz]

How about not creating new content and work on effectively eliminating the bugs from the last few months? The last months have been a disgrace.
I'm really not being petty, but that's NOT acceptable at all. You managed to get level 64 players to give up in frustration.
Please stop with this immature content. First correct what is there.

[real quiver]

Simple request - when you're about to join a ticket event, display how many tickets we have (like spending in the inventory, etc.). Don't make us navigate that nightmare you call "Inventory" ...

Hard request - pretty please fix the Inventory? The "Other" tab has less organization than a child's toybox - directives are all over the place, I'm always scrolling to find how many warp tokens I have left for Borg and Actian space. Hey, maybe just a simple scrollbar so that I'm not repeatedly hitting the screen to page thru 10 items at a time??

[runic vessel]

defense waves need 20s between waves so you can get back in position for next wave

[trim hornet]

remove monaven limit

[proven plank]

hey scopely, how long does it take a new player to unlock voyager officer, with 2 armadas and 7 pull a month, hint, even if it was all the same officer its 3 5 months for a rare.

[light bay]

Can we get a partial unlock in the wrb store for monaveen? Since we can get half the bps with event currency...why not give an option to spend $50 on the other half??

[trim hornet]

we are spending our time, dont need to spend money, just remove the limit would be fine

[lusty wadi]

We need feesha gas refit and the Mona to be 200 bp available in event store

[vital stump]

I would like to be able to jettison cargo. Out hunting with my cube, and it fills up with all this parsteel, trit and dill. I want the tech distinctive bits.

If I was a captain of a real ship I would not even collect it, let alone have to throw it out. I am out to get an item, and 1 item only. The rest is junk.

[onyx kernel]

How about an officer that increases our chances of dropping PvE chests for those that are farming for bps?

[main bolt]

Wave defense: can we get a “private” option when hosting a wave defense? Or a ⭐️ button kind of like armadas? Bottom line is there needs to be some way to control who enters wave defense. There’s a lot of times players are AFK or too small or playing with the wrong crews or ships and it hurts the other players’ ability to be competitive. I know players can leave, but the description of wave defense talks about planning and coordination, we don’t need a Leroy Jenkins to join and throw a wrench in all of our efforts.

[amber mountain]

toggle option for wave defense private/public

[runic yarrow]

Need Hanukah avatars and frames

[amber badger]

Please perform the same convenience fix that was applied to repeated opening of officer chests, but for starbase shields in the Alliance tab. Thank you and you are welcome for this astute suggestion.

[alpine shale]

Scopely You suck

[drifting knot]

Each Commander can bring with them any two ships and will not be able to switch out or repair in-between waves. Selecting the right ships and coordinating with your fellow Commanders will be vital for success.

"Coordinating" also means "teach how to play and where to find the reason I am teaching someone how to play" because there is a reason if someone write something.

Don't worry Pen and other ones: next month this feature will be obsolete like borg armadas in borg sector, solo armadas in borg/domino sector, territories in Origin space, armadas in Cardassian space, starbase assault and more, more...Kylo Ren says MOOOORE

[queen pelican]

upgrade a 5u to 6

[light nymph]

So 5 years this has been around, why the hell can't we buy shields in bulk. No one want to buy 1 shield at a time.

[dry swan]

A self destruct that has a time limit of 30 seconds or something to get ship back quick

A bad guy arc, let us play the villains in our crews and their ships. TOS khan, shizon, hirogen ships, even the gorn. Lore, the voyager arc of year of hell but to name a few

I think movie arcs are good, but wider amount of officers, all with below deck abilities. Make it a really tough choice on who to put there…. If possible to synergise with the captain. So e pic captain gets troi a 5% boost. Ps please put rare back into the spend events. I would have bought rss packs to bump her up as don’t have a good value for riker and just waiting for next month to upgrade now

[zinc cove]

I'd like a way to "lock out" certain officers from being sent on ATA's, other than having them assigned to a ship already

[neon thorn]

Are we finally getting something useful for this disappointing event store or not?? It’s a simple question?! @gusty jasper was collecting feedback from the community, nothing was communicated - it’s a disaster!!

[surreal wadi]

Fix bugs

[vestal umbra]

I'm with Simon fix bugs

[sharp python]

RARE OFFICERS in transporter patterns.

[maiden patio]

It would be nice if they removed the limit on the monaveen blueprints considering the only way to get it is if you spend 'x' amount for an unlock 😒

[woven nacelle]

I'm sure this has been suggested many times, but wanted to toss in my 2 latinum - adding g5 ships to the away team store would be fantastic now that g6 is out.

[velvet inlet]

don't put any stinking limits on the ship prints you can pull in the event store... better yet don't forget to put the limits for the first week or so and let folks spend on half a ship or in some cases a 1/4 of a ship for nothing...

[atomic zodiac]

I have a Windows laptop with a touch screen, and STFC doesn't recognize screen touches, even though every other application does. I have to use touchpad or mouse. It's always been like this; I just don't usually play on my laptop because in the past I've played on my Android, but the game is now unplayable on my Android phone.

[magic smelt]

It would be nice if they fix all the bugs in the lag that make the game almost impossible to play.

[lunar mason]

please give us a window, which shows all officers, to crew ships on pc and get rid of that horrible scrollbar.. its a monitor, not a mobile screen ffs😅

and getting rid of the useless stuff thats clogging up the inventories would surely help improve the games performance. but what do i know 🙂 (having thousands of bps that are not being used for anything is probably not helping either^^)

[lunar mason]

whats the harm in giving players the option to exchange the useless bps for something they can actually use? i mean, x amount of the standard-rss for x amount of bps sounds like an immense loss in sales for scopely i guess

[dusky spruce]

Maybe hire some more people on the helpdesk? Chuck em some of the revenue of all those half ships or something. 9 days for a ticket and it's not being read yet, with timed events is ridiculous.
Hand out more tickets and matrix diodes, so people can actually do the events 🙄

[fleet crown]

Let’s cancel incursions and fix the back log of “sent to team” guys

[alpine shale]

upgrade T7 to 8

[magic void]

@gusty jasper Every event store should have an item that costs 1 token so that we can spend everything and not have another dead currency clogging our inventory. Even if it's 50 parsteel or 1 latinum for a token. Just let us spend everything.

[fluid hemlock]

We should be able to get speed ups in event store

[quiet sky]

Once the commendations are bought from one factions store, they should also disappear from the stores of the other two factions, as buying them again doesn't do anything and will end you with a dead item.

[real quiver]

What scrollbar? I'd be happy with a scrollbar and not have to keep paging thru rando-crap on my iPad.

[dusky spruce]

A little more tender loving care for your players who keep playing your game even when the lag makes it unplayable instead of screw you, pay us, might go a long way. ✌️

[glossy halo]

well this may sound stupid but the old arcs are already written and sitting in a computer some where why not re=run them for new players that have never played them you already have them no need to create them just update them like borg ones and why do we look at worm armadas and can nit kill them update that and make a service ship to do field repairs and source it from there YOU COULD SELL the bps

[real quiver]

Lag makes it unplayable so that you don't experience the bugs. It's a Good Thing(tm)!!

[lost swan]

mybe if we all stop payin , they would find a reason to fix it all ? 😎

[hasty radish]

How about run a past arc that worked and fix the issue 🤔

[subtle relic]

Merge server 57 with someone already…. It’s hot garbage right now and it feels like it’s mainly bigger players making alts to inflate server numbers so we still look “active”

[rose marsh]

PLEASE BALANCE the WAVE DEFENSE, so LOWER LEVEL players CAN PLAY!

[ornate copper]

Put in a crew screen filter for PvP and PvE officers

[indigo gyro]

Can this please still contain 4 Star even if you gone to Ops 51? Because i need it to Update my Newton. (The Battleship not Interceptor Box of course)

[turbid heath]

it's not ops, it's T7 -> 8 that it changes

[indigo gyro]

ok maybe its that but the Suggestion stays that it still should also give 4Star
or give us a switch to change from even 3 Star up to 5 Star

[sly cedar]

i would suggest a little change for waves: it would be good to have the possibility for alliance members only - so when starter starting the wave (entering the system), the ppl should chose open or closed. Open for everybody is welcome and closed for only his alliance members

[keen chasm]

hello, for next updates : possibility to convert bp ship to anothers : for example i have a lot of horizon bp for nothing now : if i can convert them for kelvin bp it will be appreciate 🙂

[reef basin]

@opaque yew To help with the frustration and burn-out impatience that a lot of players are experiencing, I would like to suggest implementing Timer Reduction Speedups that can be used to speed up the various purchase timers like Alliance Store, Refineries, Faction Stores, etc. I'm not suggesting that they be made overly plentiful, but enough to be helpful. The "timer game" fad has lost it's viability and creates boredom more than anything.

[surreal wadi]

That's a good idea, but I'd rather them fix the current bugs in the game than break more stuff adding in new functionality.

[twilit verge]

Please add diplomacy on a per player basis.

[swift lily]

Need an alternative metric to obtain Section 31 credits. Wave Defense is obviously not going to do it for lower-level or solo players.

Come on, Scopely. Stop ignoring everyone except the Whales.

[keen moon]

Why would they stop ignoring their paychecks?

[swift lily]

Sorry, I have no sympathy for "players" who get hosed out of something they paid an exhorbitant amount of money for. Maybe if you had a proper mentality for the game, instead of "Pay To Win", you'd do better.

[iron flare]

Would be nice if we could see ingame when which events will run…

[lunar mason]

im actually curious if thats legal tbh.
i mean they do sell the currencies for cash in their store but you are not able to spend it all. couldnt this be considered fraud? its in any case scopely stealing money from paying players

[zinc cove]

Hailing Frequencies was fun for a minute, can it be removed now?

[mortal blaze]

?? Why should they remove things, they only add new useless items.

[strong atlas]

Put the monthly schedule back on the billboard in our base where it belongs

[indigo gyro]

Wave defence: if someone dont moves his ships and kills no ship he get kicked out and gets no Rewards, 2nd a Option to Kick other Players from Wave Defences or start them for your own Fleet only to be able to join

[gritty burrow]

Wave defenses should be alliance internal when opening. The leader should then have a button to make the wave defense public. This way, alliance internal team play is possible as well as mixed alliance play (especially when not many people are online)

[reef elbow]

I would like to suggest increasing the number of hostiles killed per day with loot. With Wave defense I hit the limit with 5 waves, autogrinding Monaveen, and doing regular events plus two borg probe runs. I understand that I do play a lot and you want to discourage botting, but with waves your limit is discouraging engagement.

[vernal aspen]

Iso-Emulsion.. Lots more of it. Allow us to refine isogen 2X or 3X a day. Make this happen.

[ocean hawk]

Add a patrol to waves that strictly targets idle players. Get hit by this patrol you get zero loot. Move around kill assignments the patrol won't spawn. I can at least count on a Ferangie, AFK don't deserve to get any loot.

[gaunt totem]

There should be a wave overflow sms that award some credits for section 31 and faction for section 31 and maybe 2-4k of the event store

[trim hornet]

free monaven

[gentle sundial]

Fix the indicators in Forbidden Tech to show how many chests are available. Display Ship Ability Resources on Ship Management page so we know what Titan, Mantis, Voyager are holding. Put Upgrade indicator against ships when viewed in the Swap Ship sub-window like you do with Crew. For Crew, use separate indicators to show Traits or Level can be upgraded

[compact dawn]

While in wave defence, make the battle view button disable most other UI buttons.
Too often you try to hit attack and the game lags and bookmarks opens instead

[slow cosmos]

I have a wav defense space surfing as I call it! Give the person starting the wave defense have an option to select all players to alliance members only.

[kindred portal]

When the alliance Starbase is under attack please put a countdown timer in the Starbase page.

[surreal wadi]

We need another chat channel. It could be a current system chat, or a same ops chat.

[carmine solstice]

Suggestion for Territory capture and the whole season one events. Have you considered make TC PVP only available to Alliance's participating in the the territory capture? I have no incentive to spend $100 on an event that cant be completed due to other people that just want to prevent other teams from participating. You have been able to stop PVP in waves, make the TC more fun for the alliances that want to actually participate.

[vast wharf]

You know how you have to switch up your crew for your ships and that takes time. What I am suggesting is to put a quick pick for each of your docking stations. So if your using a mining crew you have your pre selected crew picked and switch them up quickly. Make it to where you can quick pick your selected crew for at least 2 or 3 slots and charge for more slots because we know that's what you will do. You could even give everyone a 24 hour god code. This code will make your ship stronger or can't be destroyed for 24 hours then if you want more god codes you have to buy more or earn it in an event.

[queen pelican]

That's what the presets are for

[dense cloak]

AFK players in waves are a plague. Maybe don't grant them loot if no kill. Or base rewards per kills. I see lot of people joigning, not competing....just idleing and gettings loot anyway. Also, maybe implement a alliance only waves starter

[steel marten]

2 suggestions;

a) COLLECT ALL away assignments instead of 1 by 1.

b) Can these have auto assign? It's getting irritating having to manually do each of them each time.

There's so many things that could be automated, and it would be a lot more beneficial too :)

[carmine solstice]

Ability to disabled banners during events on IOS would be a good fix also, so many times it pops up when trying to view other info

[pure wave]

I would really like to see some sort of poll, voting on whether the players would like an arc full of more crap, or an arc (maybe 2+), where it is just fixes and game stability, with no new content. Just rehash old events while things improve.

[onyx kernel]

Everyone askes for it, in the dev videos Scopely has already said they aren't going to do it. They only care about teams developing features they can sell

[dawn rover]

Suggest greatly increasing Sarc’s ability in territory takeovers. It’s just so useless right now.

[fluid trail]

Wave Defense Suggestions:

1- If a player has to leave Wave Defense before it starts the timer should reset to allow more time for that player to be replaced. This shouldnt cause issues since the person who starts wave defense can start it immediatley

2- Wave Completion Rewards should be given immediately upon completion of a wave (like how its marked for events) instead of at the very end. I have had instances where I dont get rewards upon this ending on several occaions

[magic smelt]

Iit s B r o ke n .the hole ga me

[keen flame]

Lets get this correct... To research this new Prime Shield Health Boost Node, one has to research it... AFTER purchasing the pack that unlocks it?!? I'm sure this will raise a mob of players looking for it and not finding it in the Research Trees, google search it, then find that you have to pay to play to research and receive a measly 48k Thalaron for the troubles... Can we please consider the concept of not including pay to play awards in the Events?

[cunning wyvern]

Put any and all officers into the Officer Recruit tab like they should be. Do away with this nonsense of dropping territory every three months. This is ridiculous!!!! You make enough money off of us as is. If people think the game is stale, maybe the content should be better written and the bug fixes actually get fixed.

[fresh fiber]

Can we have a 2 week holiday shield as a gift

[civic salmon]

Actian systems are flooded with Talios and other ships zipping around with we all know the crew 5, GG and Tal making it really frustrating using the ship actually designed for those systems the Mantis. I suggest you drastically buff the damage the Actian ships do to every other ship so the systems once again can only be farmed with the intended ship the Mantis.

[indigo gyro]

what do you mean, its just a Bonus if you buy it now, i am sure you can do it later too but without the extra 48k

[maiden zinc]

fix the game have both ios and android devices both are horrible to play the game on many crashes other games are running ok so go fix the game i would suggest!

[shy horizon]

Please clean up the augment systems on server 29. It looks like there are so many glitched hostiles in the out of bounds area that none of the regular hostiles are spawning.

[oak basin]

CAn you guys put a little i next to things like the events that clarify what in the hell we are to do? Also, How about an in vert event where the lowere players get all the points and the 50+ players get 1.

[ocean minnow]

Why don’t you work on your Talios so that you too can partake of the much more efficient use of your time, instead of wishing poor value for others? The mantis is a crap ship. Always has been.

[civic salmon]

@ocean minnow my talios is maxed for my level only mantis should be plausible in Actian systems I thought that was the whole point of the specialist ship, shouldn’t everyone be levelling their mantis going on your logic? Also who is wishing poor value for others? I’d just like to see the ship designed for those specific systems shine. You might not agree with me but I’m free to make any suggestions I think would benefit the game without people such as yourself assuming things about my play style and Talios level and trying to devalue my suggestion because you don’t agree with it.

[ocean minnow]

The cargo space of the Talios alone makes it better bang for the buck. The mantis is only good for two, just two things. 1) SNW officers, and while you’re getting those, you don’t WANT to take mantis higher than T4, otherwise it is not efficient. The 2nd is Syndicate XP, and without the Talios cargo it again, isn’t worth the effort to take it higher as the turn in rate makes the grind a daily pain in the butt. With Talios you can do a weeks worth of turn ins is a relatively short amount of time with only a couple visits. Play smarter not harder. 😉

[maiden zinc]

fix the game for ios and android devices and probably also the pc

[civic salmon]

@ocean minnow no mention of the mantis debuff ability? Very handy for PvP unless your a care bear of course Also a maxed mantis with maxed research can be easily filled in a matter of minutes my Talios can’t come close to matching its kill to reward ratio although yes it does have much bigger cargo space. The whole point of my original post was to make it the only effective ship in Actian space which is what the designers at scopely created it for.

[turbid heath]

What ops and how much cargo out of curiosity?
I brought home 2m cargo in my talios the other day, and can't wait to try it with the incursion exo next time. 😅

The mantis was basically a lame duck loop out of the gate, if it wasn't for the carrot of syndicate xp nobody would use it at all

[open apex]

With the new set of events running, Increase the limit on the FT upgrade pack that has everything including the Emblem of Assessment's.

[twilit verge]

This would allow griefers to be crosshaired just like any “evil” alliance

[maiden rampart]

The wave defenses really have been a lot of fun, put a whole new type of focus on the game instead of just a, set it and forget it like a lot of armadas. It would be interesting to see what could be done to improve them, and what would actually be feasible without causing the game to have even more issues

Wd system chat sounds like a highly beneficial idea, although would mean having an additional 25 chats programmed into the game, would the chat be cleared every single time? Or would it populate with the conversation from the previous wave? 🤔

A small cluster of wd systems perhaps, aimed at the lower of the levels, such as hostiles from 18-38/40, 4-6 systems for ops 30-45 even, or lessen that expanse to 30-40…ops locking the other systems to 40+ and 50+…. The small ones being the “intro to wd” systems…

The ability to set your wd system upon entry of first participant to public/private, private only allowing alliance members in (just like a regular armada, there would be no real way to remove unwanted alliance members but it would be restricted, which many would find much better) and would still leave the public available if few alliance members were on or you were interested in playing with a variety of other players/groups…

[nocturne lantern]

Why would use Mantis when with a single token gain over 4m loot with Talios compared to less than 1/4th that with Mantis?! Game is grind enough, so no thanks. 👎🏻

[next halo]

I suggest the support team actually respond to tickets and chats. More than 5 days now and no response to a ticket that I originally made 3 days before that was closed down without speaking to me. Customer service...? 😂😂😂

[modest abyss]

Can we get black market of some kind to trade old currencies? For some random useful stuff maybe?

[echo onyx]

Can there be a way to get tal or have him added back into the store?

[manic fiber]

I would like to see a way to see your forbidden tech and all of your built ships without having to have a ship docked at your base.

[pseudo crescent]

how 'bout Ezri Dax, and her below decks ability having to do with confronting the Host Who Must Not Be Named [DS9 episode "Field of Fire"]? Ezri is the only host who hasn't just swept the guy under the rug, though she was happy to until she had to apply his experience with her Psychology [Command Counselour] training to achieve Criminology education and experience.

[marsh plover]

Make wave defense rewards impacted by level of participation. Sick of these lame ass afkers

[pliant igloo]

Wave Defense option to solo. I mean, one can already do that but scale it down so one player can defend.

[twilit dagger]

Add Tal back in the store

[lost swan]

remove monaveen bp limit ... dont be a grinch ... let ppl use the research tree ... this would be only kind of compensation for all the recent "issues" , appreciated ...

[open apex]

While at 60 before 61 we would get roughly 40B trit a day from our dailies. For a T11 Epic 60 that was enough to repair the ship 4 times a day which allowed us to use it. There were also events that provided trit which added all totaled was a decent amount. The Sigma Tritanium economy needs to be corrected in a big way. Daily we get 550 sigma trit and it takes 3000 for a single hull repair on a T4 63 ship. Over time we increased our syndicate and one of those buffs along the way was always "Bonus Daily Goals Reward 12x Resources". Does the12x buff that I've built up really only generate 550 trit? 5 days of completing dailies to repair a ship 1 time? This needs to be addressed in an equitable way for the player base meaning we don't need a new prime or more packs to buy. We just need an economy that aligns with where we came from by either drastically increasing the daily amount or lowering the cost to repair but as it is now. 6* ships are unusable.

[hollow ridge]

I’d like to make a suggestion regarding the new wave defense mechanics. Put in that the players who enter a wave defense but don’t actively participate in said defense gain nothing from that defense and have a 1 hour cooldown from participating in the next one

It’s probably a long shot but having people enter but not participate is get old really fast.

[stoic island]

Why don’t wave hostiles give section 31 rep?

[boreal chasm]

Extra/excess wave defense arc points could give extra event currency. Just a very short term thought

[teal glade]

50% off store-wide for christmas. It is logical.

[echo onyx]

Put tal in the store! Some of us missed him. @gusty jasper

[hollow jolt]

it would be cool if some of the older grinds in this game were helped with a choice of battle pass. everyone could be doing the same events, but scoring points for a battle pass that would help them more. packs and event store currency for things like frequency modulators and charged nanoprobes are terrible value. the value for battle passes seem to be pretty good. it would be cool to combine them for us lower level players.

[hollow flint]

Refinery Speedups

[ivory thorn]

I find the idea of a market very interesting. There could be a ferengi Shop in your alliance starbase or as a new faction.
There you could exchance resources, blueprints, old currencies and more. For that you will receive tokens that you could invest in other resources, faction credits, booster, skins and so on.
That would make farming some materials that are mostly ignored (augment resources as eyample) more attractive for Player with higher level.

As we speak of skins and ships... when we will see the Skin for the movie Enterprise? Since movie kirk and Spock are available i would suggest a "reward skin" for reaching level 30 (movie enterprise skin) and level 40 (movie enterprise a skin) in the FC Command Center.
Enterprise B, Enterprise C and other ships could be as an example a reward for achieving specific Milestones in the game (ops level, building level, reward for storyline completations) or finding eastereggs in the game (like the silverblood voyager). That would just be a motivation to explore the universe and get the playerbase in the game.

A friendly Joke at last: Implement "Jonny Rico" and the ship "Roger Young" from starship troopers. There are still some Bugs to hunt

[somber flint]

I think scopely wants players who can afford to get g6 ships to purchase ship repair packs.such a greedy company...

[oak basin]

here is a million dollar idea: fix what you have before letting loose the gremlins in new stuff

[hardy citrus]

Make these rewards scale with ops level or something...it's just wasteful

[proven plank]

can someone tell me why Alonzo Freeman isnt Uncommon, he isnt game changing and he slightly makes gameplay a little easier, Scopely you need to reassess how you rank officer, Data compared Freeman is not even the same ballpark

[hasty radish]

Remove this from the cube, until then the cube is a horrible ship. I refuse to swing down especially in a PVP situation.

[vestal mesa]

It does kinda point towards wack a lowbie! Lol

[main rivet]

What is the likelihood of seeing the mycelium greenhouse 18k refine limit either being increased heavily or being removed altogether? I ask as I have a considerable stockpile of mycelium spores in my inventory and no way to refine them to cultivated mycelium, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that predicament.

[keen flame]

Can we reduce the cool down time for the Latinum Antique Refinery redeem? 4 days is quite extreme in comparison to the other redeemable items

[open apex]

Add that monaveen pack to the store with the parts and research currency. Limit 2.

[pliant igloo]

Scale the Wave Defense hostiles by how many Commanders actually participate. Even to the point where you can solo one of these things. Too many useless people just floating around.

[hazy willow]

Suggestion, put a Cube gamble offering in the white elephant store
Maybe include some high level ship BP offers at players Ops level or higher

[hard flame]

add the ships USS Vengeance and the Narada

[gritty burrow]

Introduce a System chat next to Galaxy, Alliance and private Chat. Participants are simply all people having the selected ship in the same system. Useful for

• Wave defenses
• "Meetings" of selected member of a single alliance
• "Meetings" of representatives of alliances
• Spying of such meetings
  History of the chat could be stored per dock and resets when ship leaves the system.

[visual grail]

you need a drop down off to the side of this display so we can easily see the different RSS we have for a given refinery... G3, G4, G5, etc

Other refineries like Voyager could use this too since there are way more currencies than you can display in this tiny little 3 item display

The drop down menu should show ALL the currencies that are applicable to the current refinery. 🙂

Yes, I know its all displayable in the inventory tab, but that takes forever to scroll through all the Krap in there

[nocturne lantern]

In the takeover area, which is supposedly so protected, enemy alliances can always fly in at random and shoot down our little miners with their huge ships.

Actually, a sub should warn ⚠ that a foreign ship is invading your territory and a defense system should prevent the intruder from entering the area with ease, so the enemy would first have to get past the heavy artillery like an Armada .

[fallow scarab]

Bigger Rom/Kli supply ship targets in the Amalgam booty sectors. Through L40, all of the supply ship hostiles are L31. If they are bigger beyond the L40 systems, then please disregard.

they're all the same level

Include the warp # needed on every system, regardless of whether I can get to it. That way, I don't end up locking a lower warp ship in if I relocate. Which I've now done.

[crisp hound]

In the event of an IRL emergency, give me the ability, as Admiral to pop a shield for a team member in my alliance.
Also give us a "Refuge system" where players can move their bases in the event of an IRL hardship.

[severe bronze]

I would suggest a ticker display, but they will probably scroll through the wrong items 😄

[hardy mural]

Isogen Race Alb (or name idea here)

Have alliances in a server compete to see who can mine the most isogen by an alb.

The winner gets either (different idea suggestions):

A) territory fences or barriers that protects all alliance member ships and stations in territory for a given amount of time

Or

B) territory trespass passes which allow you to hop a barricade or fence or bypass it

You could also add barricade/fences as a 12-24h service that can be enabled, but disabled during Territory Defense.

Territory Trespass Passes or TresPasses could be won in an Alb.

They could work similar to tokens

Another idea would be territory defense turrets that could be placed (with timers in services). These turrets would fire at ships that are trespassing in various territories.

[grim marten]

just add a hazard to territory systems through a service with 100 percent resistance to territory owners 😉

[plucky tiger]

Have been meaning to post this for a while and after listening to Rev’s “state of the game”, decided to post now.

As part of an “underdog alliance”, I would like to be able to battle the larger ones.

My suggestion is to allow the alliance to travel to the “future” and in doing so, all ships become an iteration of its future self.

Some ideas:

A Bortas could increase to a korinar or more -
Perhaps depending on an amount of a particular material saved. Same with other ships.
Storyline could include ships that have used time travel in the ST universe.
Time travel can happen in “windows”, similar to Territory Takeover but with a minimum one week (?) notice. But the stronger alliance will have to use the ships they have at the time of going to the future - they won’t be able to upgrade. Similar to incursions, both teams elect to move to the “future”. How long for (?)
Reward options - Obtain their territory back in the present time? “Steal” or be gifted future technology or research? It may also be a way to incorporate officers that are seldom used in the game. Do officers also get a temporary boost depending on another currency to be acquired? New Research goals? Temporary station upgrades?
With enough notice, the defending alliance has time to mine / grind / purchase / somehow obtain the currency to be used to also time travel. Only the weaker alliance can upgrade their ships at the time of travel. The stronger alliance could be as per the alliance power ranking. Perhaps there needs to be a minimum gap between the alliance declaring and the defenders. Or maybe the future ship acquired is limited to the difference in power ranking.

I’m sure there are holes in this idea or it can be improved upon. But I thought it would be nice to be able to go up against a 250M Corvus without being obliterated for once and give the bigger ops players more to do.

[pliant igloo]

Great idea but that would ruin Incursions and raiding in general.

[random granite]

I don't know that refuge sustem would necessarily. It could be maneuvered. Scopely could be the only one to base you there for X amount of days and then move you back out after.

[rose current]

I would like a 5 minute equivalent to faction rep, or materials needed for an upgrade. If you are within 5% of the final target, you get a free boost. That way it can save us from having to wait an extra day or two just to finish something off

[nocturne lantern]

My suggestion is listen to the players and listen to @cinder walrus about the pain points in this game. I won’t be spending any money going forward until we start seeing a more balanced game that isn’t as extreme in greedy money grabs. Also want to see serious bug fixes and better communication from the community team. I’m a $500-700 per month spender. Maybe Scopely doesn’t care enough about losing my revenue! Honestly the White Elephant event shows how Stingy Scopely is this holiday.

[manic fiber]

Could there be a queue system added for wave defense. So instead of it being a free for all you could either queue for alliance only, or open and once there is enough to fill one it would start. Also, it could allow players to queue with one ship so a wave defense could potentially run with 10 players all with one ship each.

[naive night]

I would like to suggest a tab under galaxy that show which systems have mission planets.

[echo onyx]

@gusty jasper Can you guys toss tal in the store for new years?

[manic rune]

Regarding alliance territory mats (cores, reactors,etc.) Either let commodores determine what territory refine options are available or give us a way to see who's contributing what on a weekly basis

[subtle relic]

Territory is most assuredly not a protected area ha no space is protected unless it’s in a server’s roe, and Scopley does not endorse roe at all

[silver mason]

PLEASE to put the regular Battle Pass; Officer QuickPass and Overflow where it does belong and where it is because of the name expected: In the Battlepass Section.

[feral hawk]

scopely when it remove the notification from Solo-Armada is still annoying 💩

[nocturne lantern]

@hardy mural Shield 🛡️ Tokens like for the base for miners shield 🛡️ Tokens would also be an good idea also The Base Turrets 💡 👍😎

[slate warren]

Turrets? You do know those would shoot even allies right?

[lusty sluice]

A few things: 1) on the officers page, have a different indicator of upgradability (sp) for traits to find officers that can level up. 2) When battle view is active, hide the mission bar and Q Trials icons. 3) I had a 3rd but forgot what it was..

[lost swan]

amalgam should have a 3 clickable squares , somewhere , as a ship ability in raid , to be able to choose between 3 rss type we like to steal ... examples , steel only or tritanium and dilithium or dilithium only , etc ... would be usefull

[thorn steeple]

can we get a "message all" for the alliance leadership and /or a message all leaders function

[real quiver]

So the idea that the inventory can be fixed comes up every so often, but if this is an example of a “sort” algorithm … the inventory can’t be fixed by the current coders. Hire new programmers?

[crisp hound]

How about making your app stop crashing every couple of minutes? Seems like a logical starting point. Having to restart twice every 30 minutes or so really takes a lot of fun out of the game..by not fixing this you are breaking your own rule Scopely..youre going to drive players from the game! I am closer than ever to walking away and not looking back after this mornings crashes!

[slim sky]

PLEASE get rid of the 2K limit on hostile grinding!! You are literally punishing players for playing the game.

[distant wolf]

I've only ever hit it when sending multiple ships out to auto-grind. YMMV, I guess.

[slim sky]

No, many of our players have hit it grinding rep. Or other events like CoW.

[kindred portal]

Hi, maybe add an overflow event for the TC pass and the WD pass.

[idle vessel]

Pretty please suggest to someone that the next hailing frequency added be Earl Grey tea!

[fresh fiber]

How about all the missing arc missions get added to the holodeck so those who weren't around for say the original Borg arc can open those locked areas

[grim coyote]

Since a bunch of us like me have played since the beginning. Can’t you guys come up with for we can get rid of all the credits we can’t use for buying things in the store. I have credits from the beginning that I can never spend. I know it doesn’t make you money so create a prime at a small cost to convert those tokens into a new credit for we can exchange them.

[sharp schooner]

I was in the 50s when the borg cube was introduced. My next tier requires 1000s of rare 4* parts. There is no realistic way to get those parts without waiting for many many months for the minimal trickle of parts. At this point the cube is basically worthless.

[tidal summit]

could you introduce a search bar, with some type of filters even maybe, into the "Assign Officers" tab when selecting officers for your ship? This can reduce less scrolling and skipping past the crew you are looking for.

[magic lily]

Territory capture times are too long. Cut them in half, they’d be about right. An hour, or even a half hour, is a pretty big time investment for most player’s game time. And most of the time there are no challengers, so it’s wasted time at that.

[tidal summit]

that nullifies the point of tc capture bp then. meaning players have to show up to more territories creating more stress about being on time due to irl situation meaning they have an even higher risk of losing out on rewards. they could adjust scoring but i dont see them doing that. i think the tc times are fine. if there are no contesters, why not just go do something else lol. its not like you're forced to watch tc for an hour. i always just send my ships and go do something else.

[midnight tartan]

add diplomatic statuses to emoticons pls

[crude sandal]

For Wave Defense, male it sontjat there are 2 types. The first would ne called Open and would be as is, anyone cam join. The second would be Closed where you can only join if someone posts the link.

This would help players choose their party players and allow better coordination with active players instead of some random players jumping.

[gaunt totem]

Suggetsion for q court. after you complete a full set of trials, it should open up another set of trials of the same rank, but this time it be solo armada targets

[idle linden]

suggestion : an alliance vault, where you can exchange resources with fellow members. maybe with ingame-predefined exchange values (5 parsteel for 1 tritanium, etc),
you put something in the vault and a request for some other thing. anyone can exchange if they need that resource.

[idle linden]

same thing with ship blueprints for ships you don't want any more. the possibility to exchange them for another blueprint, or a universal one. or latinum... whatever.. i don't need 3 more realtas...

[indigo gyro]

or that you can sell me the Realta Blue prints, i need 2 more for luls, and for a Turas i whould kill some ships

[dusky rivet]

what is the point? you only take stuff from the p2w discord ?

[echo onyx]

@gusty jasper can you guys put tal in the store?

[uneven sundial]

It was never fun, and you can turn it off in settings in between events.

[zinc cove]

I know I can turn it off but they keep doing events using HF to get people to use it

[worldly crescent]

It has been asked for before, but are you ever going to develop a way to see what missions a player has completed and which ones are missed? If we missed one we can always use STFC.com to get details, but I don’t know if I missed any.

[magic lily]

The drop rate for ship blueprints gets way out of balance at upper ops level. It’s nearly impossible to get BPs for upper level ships. At lower levels, it was possible to grind for advanced ship BPs. By the time you get to ops 40, the drop rate for advanced ships is near zero. This needs to be rebalanced.

[ionic arrow]

check the capital systems; i got two free surveyors & almost a free valdore out of them

[magic lily]

Yeah, that’s about the end of the higher level ship drop zones. Those drops don’t get higher with ops levels. The Valdore is the most advanced ship you’ll ever see there.

[queen pelican]

you can get rare and epic bps there too. just more rare, at least the rares, haven't personally seen the epic, but i've gotten pilum drops farming rom capitals

[vestal mesa]

I drop prolly 4 to 5 pilum bp,s a week in Romulus.

[thick cosmos]

Capital systems don’t drop epic prints, g3 epics drop in upper g4 space, g4 epics don’t drop anywhere in g4 space.

[random granite]

Fix out of balance pvp brackets and ship power. Years overdue. You added 10 levels and made it worse.

[red mica]

Ok, so the Mantis needs some sort of rework. Mine is maxed with cargo cap research at 15/20, and I still only get 502k cargo per run without cargo officers. My t11 talios already gets 2M venom per hull with 5/gg/tal. Now i'm seeing people hunt actian with novas. At this point, there's no real use for the mantis except for stinging dailies. Base mantis cargo cap needs to be increased a lot. It is a specialty ship that should be the best at doing what it's supposed to do.

[carmine oriole]

Add in some options for low spenders - those tokens we get with comp chest that open the resource chest I would buy if they added one chest worth for $0.99 currently there is only the full month worth with the extra one time pull for $99 alienating low spenders

[hazy idol]

Yup, maxed mantis and maxed Talios here.. Mantis gets out for stinging.. and thats about it. It's level 42 or something i believe. Useless ship except the syndicate Xp is awesome.. so maxing it is huge. Just for the syndicate though..

[carmine oak]

You would think that with a lot of chests costing more than filling your car or buying a complete new game for a PC/Console that they would have realised by now that there is a huge untapped player market they could be exploiting

[snow prairie]

Level 30 WAVE Zones so we can actually play the game. What were you THINGKING??????????????????????????????????

[tribal patrol]

Probably a high ops are we? Problem is for lower ops it's a better option due to the DMG boost. Remember they're taking into account overall play, not high level.

[nocturne lantern]

$copely taking into account lower levels?! 😆 He is refer to the cargo capacity of Mantis in contrast with the daily refinery I believe… it’s terrible, but I don’t suggest a rework as they’re more likely to release a new prime or Mantis-A! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[tribal patrol]

I'm fully aware what he's referring to. Hes ALSO talking about using a Talios or even a Nova to farm the venom, which is something only higher ops can really do with decent success (quite literally when talking Nova).

I'm at a point where I can farm 828k venom daily (using the 2 warps) if I so chose to, with mantis and not quite a full cargo crew (4 on bridge, E-Data and Laan below).

There's also the weird assumption you should be able to easily dump into the two chest pull all the time, which is NEVER what Scopely wants lol

[rose valley]

Still Totally wanna play as this character. She looks like me. Hairs not right tho.

[nocturne lantern]

I only pull syndicate. Mantis would mean daily grind. Eventually, when Talios capable to takeover, it makes more sense to use than Mantis for QoL reasons… stock and focus on other things. Would be better if Mantis had bigger cargo as more loot per hit, but for now it has no place.

[tribal patrol]

So the crux of the discussion is "I wanna do stuff less often" and you're applying it in THIS game?

Heh. Good luck with that.

[nocturne lantern]

Yes it’s nice to have a life outside the game. $copley need to remember people need to work to buy their stuff, lol! Efficiency plays a big part in the game, and the focus on this varies by player/ops level. There is no sense in me personally using Mantis with its current cargo when I gain over 5x the loot with Talios.

[random lava]

event store for apex only has 3* and 4* mats. why not add 5* and higher ?
make apex great again.

[tawny goblet]

We need a research for the Borg cube to give it a damage boost against Borg armadas like we have for the 3 factions and the jelly.

[timid nimbus]

Make the Battle Simulator a BATTLE SIMULATOR 😂. I want to be able to test my own ships, with different crews, strengths, levels against my own ships, armadas, and other hostiles, even other players ships. Instead of the current half baked idea.

[thick cosmos]

Why is that a problem for their suggestion? A cargo increase would benefit lower ops as well, it certainly wouldn’t hurt them. The problem literally is that they are not taking into account overall play: the mantis works ok at low tier/low ops, it doesn’t work at higher tiers. People literally have to hold back on tiering the mantis until they’re higher ops and can use a different ship instead.

[tribal patrol]

No, people literally have to wait longer to do things than they want to. Just because it's not fast enough or efficient enough for you doesn't necessitate a change.

The fact is that the higher you level the easier it is to use whatever you want for whatever you want. The Mantis certainly isn't the first, and won't be the last, example of such.

They ALWAYS set the basic gameplay in the realm of the "average" levels and ignore that higher levels can do whatever they want because they WANT the higher levels to do whatever they want.

[thick cosmos]

Just because you want to be a masochist doesn’t mean everyone else needs to suffer with you either. It isn’t about waiting longer than you want, that’s already gated by the drip of mantis parts. It is that tiering up the mantis even when you have the parts to do so can actually reduce your syndicate income by making it impossible to double pull any longer.
It is the average level player who is suffering, not the higher levels who can do whatever: the mantis is not balanced for the average player. Improving its cargo capacity would do nothing for a g5 player who can farm a week’s worth of pulls in one go with their talios. It would benefit the average player for whom the mantis is the only option.

[ionic arrow]

devil's advocate here - i haven't farmed with my mantis since ops 38 or so, and the main reason wasn't the cargo, it's the hostile level. the best farming option for me since i built an augur has been the biggest hostile i can warp to basically, because Tal makes the loop that much faster. if you want to improve the talios loop, you need to figure out a way for the low-tier mantis to fill enough and fast, not just give it more cargo.

The monaveen especially has been a fantastic ship to farm with thanks to (like the talios) a good cargo for a warship & a good loot multiplier, without the squishiness that sub-g5 talios's have

[thick cosmos]

I think I last used the mantis around t5-t6 and it was fast enough then. They’ve improved the speed since then with the fc kirk, ghalenar, and the research so they’ve done some work on that front already.

[tribal patrol]

No, genius, I'm being a realist based on how the game has been built and setup. I never said I wouldn't be good having more cargo. I said they wouldn't CHANGE IT.

And the initial point was stated based on higher ops just using a bigger ship... Which they're gonna do ANYWAY.

The Mantis is never going to have Talios cargo no matter how much complaining is done and you know it. Taking about what helps all ops isn't going to change it either, cause if you haven't thought about it yet? Any assistance means they risk selling less packs and primes.

Duh.

[thick cosmos]

Perhaps you’re unaware that they already buffed the mantis cargo shortly after release because people complained about it. You also didn’t say they “wouldn’t” change it, you’re arguing that they “shouldn’t” change it, based on some counterfactual assertion about how they designed it for the average level.

[tribal patrol]

Still didn't say that.

[thick cosmos]

Well, your latest argument that they won’t change it because it would cut into pack sales is clearly incorrect too, otherwise the mantis wouldn’t exist at all, duh. It increased the supply of syndicate xp enormously, cutting into sales of syndicate xp packs and the syndicate xp prime.

[grim marten]

that ship was designed to keep u endlessly grinding. the thalios monaveen and yes rare 46 ships do a much better job at it 😛

[civic pine]

Hey scopes, you guys like money right? TOS movie ship skins. You’re welcome.

[nocturne lantern]

And where is native game launch for Linux??????

[mortal blaze]

Please fix bugs, i was attacking hirogen hunters when someone attacked me and i got the warning with someone is attacking you after i was defeaten!!

[frigid kite]

late warnings happens sometimes like forever ^^

[keen flame]

Could we get the Relentless Assault Feature treated the same way that the Borg Cube Cutting Beam works?

[brave bronze]

What way is that?

[keen flame]

The Borg Cutting Beam has a charge up status for every damage point done to target. When reaching 100%, you can trigger the ability. This 5 hr cooldown seems excessive

[dawn geyser]

Over the past 5yrs yall released some good new elements to the game , but also added some very lame ones as well. My suggestion is a fix for the lame additions that currently are worthless in the game to make them have value. You added rep to alliance but it is really a meaningless addition since there is no value to it. I would’ve added a benefit for players that work to get their rep up in their alliance; like added alliance credits and more armadas and stuff from alliance stores. An added daily goal drop that gives holodeck buffers, heck even an increase in what alliance dailies give’s would’ve nice instead of nothing for gaining rep in alliance. Make the new year nice quit doing lame ideas that give no benefits to players.

[open kelp]

Alliance rep opens up research in the Starbase tree

I would like to see a species 8531 ship comanders could aquire. This ship would have no value other than opening up a tear in space to access fluidic space .
After traveling to fluidic space comanders would have a loading screen in which to fit out ships with different abilities/weaponry depending on your game style.
You would then enter a limited time hunger games style tournament we're your life support eventually runs out sending you back to normal space and out of the tournament, the closer to the center of the system the longer your life support lasts ensuring battles commence.
All comanders wale and cryll would start even at lvl 1 and lvl up through killing hostiles/other comanders then finding weaponry in the battle debris eventually leading to an overall winner. I realize the game needs to make money so to do this you could release limited edition skins for your bio ship

Sorry fat fingers species 8472 ship

[onyx kernel]

They did tease some idea for a battle Royale pvp mode for this next year

[thorn cairn]

Would love a PC shortcut to attack and another to scan

[vocal igloo]

please put armada speed ups into speed up tab in inventory, whats the point to trash everything in 'other'?

[oak basin]

Would you guys PLEASE put a hostile kill counter. Next to the Plasteel counter would be an excellent place. Since the counter flag exists showing it is ONE line of code

[broken cloud]

Trading hall would be great so we can swap things with others.

[ember tundra]

Battle Royale, in my opinion any and all pvp is too unbalanced for it to be enjoyable to anyone mid level much like incursions, personally feel it would be another whale feast event further abusing low and mid level players

Could we add a transporter to the game and allow any crew assigned to a ship be moved or traded from below decks to the bridge crew or the ability to change officers between two ships in the same system.

[keen flame]

Can we get better ships in the Augment Ship Exchange for Credit?

[left birch]

When you force the players to kill thousands of enemies to finish the events, it would be nice at least, when you suspend the "No loot for players killed x enemies on a day" for the duration of the events... 🫤

[royal hazel]

@gusty jasper @cold escarp How about a player anniversary store? On the players game start anniversary, gift them 100 anniversary tokens to spend on half an officer unlock or 100 blueprints towards a ship...you get the idea.

[queen pelican]

they already did a full officer unlock for the anniversary, why would they do another?

[nocturne lantern]

Optimize game layout for iPhone 15 Pro Max

[keen valley]

Has it been suggested to hide more of the UI during Waves, especially on mobile devices? I keep hitting the System and my shield screens when trying to do them and removing more of the extra stuff can be helpful.

[peak perch]

you can - it’s the [(0] symbol (ish) next to the shield

[eager barn]

@gusty jasper @cinder walrus

Hey, can we have a new singularaty on the galaxy !? We should call it SCOPELY ANOMALY !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[gritty siren]

once loot locked, it owuld be nice to have a timer or something informing you of when you'll be free to farm again. loot lock is so dumb. also need a system of 30s for WD, the current round 1 should be maybe the thirties round 5, you had a good fun idea and totes dropped the ball on it. how are ops 28 supposed to even enjoy being part of this aside from getting carried.

[keen valley]

True I do that but it could help to see more removed. The System Name and the shield timer stay when you tap that button.

[dreamy oyster]

waves - it should be possible to chat with the participants - when serveral alliance join in very difficult to coordinate

[hard raven]

What is with the numbers in these events... are you kidding me?? Why does scopely hate us so much?

[pulsar hedge]

I didn’t do the events. It’s like any addiction; once you decide enough is enough and don’t do the deed, it’s surprisingly easy. The sense of freedom from this time vampire of a game is awesome. I recommend everyone try it.

[marsh plover]

Make an option to start an alliance only wave defense. When someone hits "start" to start it early, set the timer to 30 seconds. And for the love of Spock put the timer outside the zone too, similar to Q trials.

[random plover]

As someone has suggested already, can you give ceasefire shields for APAC servers? Especially during Incursions? Ishikawa, Japan and the surrounding areas are still repeatedly quaking and I assume many players from these areas can’t/won’t log in for a while

[keen flame]

Can we get more Holodeck Buffers in Events or Battlepass Awards?

[slim pawn]

Completely agree! At the very least, it should be a new officer every month...

I'd love to see Scopely introduce a new in-game currency called "Contaminated Latinum" that you would earn at the same time you earn broken rods for the treasury, this currency would be used to buy store packs, it doesn't even have to be at same rate as broken rods, but it would be a way for free to play to occasionally be able to get something they would never be able to get otherwise, that epic officer they missed out on, etc...

[solid crystal]

Can we get a ship that can swap crews on ships that are out of the base? Like an officer shuttle? And can that same ship repair ships outside of the base so we don't have to go back to the base every time we need to repair? It could also heal alliance ships and help us during wave defence?

[white wyvern]

Call it Shift Change, swap bridge and lower deck officers.

[ocean hawk]

Can there be a performance bonus for hostile kills in waves. This would prevent afks. Would also make doing waves more worthwhile.

[lean bolt]

Just make each hostile drop a handful of credits. 5-15 to start then scaling up as rounds continue.

Everyone will be trying to kill 💩 then.

[keen moon]

That is the way most tower defense games operate.

[small oriole]

Let's make events that screw players into not knowing the rewards then forcing them to choose utter 💩 as rewards because of cool downs

Players who put in a fraction of the effort and directives get the same material and rss pulls in full

Scopely bs at peak levels

[hidden spear]

Another flash pass that has Tal in it please.. that way people like me can unlock it

[vocal ridge]

A seperate chat channel for wave Defence teams. An extra level of account security or authentication for accounts, especially PC players.

[weary badger]

scopelys new years resolution: Mantis comp ... like everyone elses resolution to goto the gym and lose weight: never going to happen 😂

[turbid heath]

Curious to know what comp that would be?

[rustic trellis]

Suggestion to Scopely @gusty jasper While the game is in such a terribly bad state (lagging all the time, constant crashing of the game, full of other bugs etc etc etc) it might be wise, NOT to start incursions at all and possibly have to pull the plug on it again after short time. Scopely's proved its incompetence already over and over again and with the last few maintenances and the last incursions Scopely made themselves already looking as ridiculous as it gets. You. simply. can't. pull. it. off.

[weary badger]

you must be new here?
Scopely sold a ship to access a loop ... the loop was broken (fixed when f2p earned the ship and even more complaints started to flood in). Therefore since access (service) to the loop for those who paid for it was never really delivered, a comp should of been issued. Tal is/was not a comp, a comp is given to those who paid.

[turbid heath]

I just moved on, and skipped the loop til Tal turned up 🤷‍♂️

As you say... it's ovr a year ago now 🤣

[turbid heath]

But you are going to have to take that reference out, it was blocked for a reason...

Just edit it out, it's unneeded

[weary badger]

yes but im just letting scopely know, that there are some that will never drop it, regardless. As it shows just how trustworthy they are. Cant even right the wrongs from (as you say) over a year ago.
They got a new years resolution, ill give them a suggestion every year until the game closes. 😂

[nocturne lantern]

A few syndicate levels (4-5) loss progress due to broken systems and frustration in first several months for those who paid for the ship. ^^

[main acorn]

Can you add a claim all button for away team missions

[warm perch]

Could scopely make it so everyone online in an alliance can see everyone can know who is online when doing armadas. This would be very help full for players who do not use discord. Or is scopely trying to force everyone off the game. To communicate with each other.

[hardy harbor]

It's already becoming a challenge to fill up wave defenses with 5 people. Any chance of having reduced hostiles spawn if you have less than 5 players join?

[hidden thorn]

@nocturne lantern: can you please make a 2nd announcement instead of altering the first? Now people are totally confused

[pliant igloo]

An auto option for Wave Defense. Like armadas. Join the Wave Defense and let your research and ship abilities self perform. Too much to do in this game in a day. You guys aren’t trying to fix the lag and game drops. At least this way we wouldn’t have to worry about all that and the complaints would slow down.

[lusty pewter]

Not sure where to put this, but i'd like to make a suggestion to stfc.space. Could you add into the Officer area how to obtain the officer? As lower level players we may not know where to get some of the officers (transporter patterns, Recruit tokens, different refineries, etc). I think this would be a benefit especially when deciding on officers thru events, if an officer is available thru a refinery that i'm near that level (or far away in that level).

[brittle barn]

I think you pinged the wrong domo 😅

But the announcement has been updated, let me know if there is any confusion still

[unborn moth]

May I also suggest once the performance issues get sorted a bit to please bring the thalaron store back for a quick redemption? A few of us could not finish redeeming between the armada event mayhem and the frequent performance issues. Tyvm

[ocean hawk]

I'm sure a brand new armada event next arc will help conserve the stability

[brave bronze]

Have asked for a return of the thalaron event store, and it was a no. You should contact CS to see if they'll help.

[hardy jay]

not funny at all.. please remove the timer

[echo delta]

incursions suck. stop doing them

[light epoch]

Can we have a red spot on the Command icon when the commander’s 6 hours runs out?

[robust coral]

This kinda goes with an idea I have. Instead of having the Hijacked/Separatist ships, change them to a Refit Skin, and allow players who currently have those ships to scrap them and gain all the shards for those Refits.

[winter socket]

It would be really nice if, during incursions at least, if sharing locations in-game included which server the link was referring to

[keen moon]

The comp was adding extra apex hostiles. I think you need to let this one go.

[fluid trail]

the augment ships need a purpose. theyre a waste of resources and offer nothing.

at worst they should cost less to upgrade.
at best they should also be scrappable

just make them skins

[maiden valve]

Has there been any consideration for limiting PVP to specific systems, or making it opt in. I like the game but find the experience diminished by some of the toxic PVP interactions that occur.

[onyx kernel]

Nah they want open pvp basically anywhere so everyone is in open conflict to spend $$$. RoE only exists because the players wanted it, not Scopely

[undone shell]

For Incursions, make a "King of the Hill" format.. person(s)/alliance(s) in the inner most ring score more points per second than outer.

[undone shell]

Drop the stupid PVP event that people can just cheat wins to the top of the leaderboard and put this in place of.

[devout kernel]

Please Send Next Arc Demo

[livid dagger]

We need a ingame log-tool,who shows ,which Commodore or member of an Ally do Allythings,like activate the territory Bonus,or starbase buildings etc

[nocturne lantern]

Ship 🛳 Repair kit for Outdoor Vessels or can't Geordy fix the ship why outer Space 🤔😁

[vestal furnace]

Incursions: Everyone gets an automatic shield for the duration of incursions. It automatically drops when the player logs in (or is already logged in).

This way the whole server doesn‘t loose just because some whale stopped playing (again) and it easy bait. This happened to us way too often which makes the whole event kind of pointless

[sly cape]

That wouldn't work as Scopely want inactive (or those not able to play 24/7), to be raided and thus feel the need to quit the game, so that they can continue to milk the players that stay

[winter dew]

When you go to the swap ship menu, could we be allowed to sort by something useful like ship speed, warp range, max cargo size, max protected cargo size, etc.?

[prime elm]

Can we have a leaderboard that shows incursions stats for all servers, as well as proper ingame time stamps for messages/Battle reports rather than the usual "10 hours ago" @gusty jasper ?

[sharp python]

How to fix incurions and raiding:

Fix incursions: don't have an "attacking" and "defending" server. make the attack/defend leader boards "universal" (does that make sense?)

Fix raiding: once a base is broken, allow multiple people to attack the base at the same with with almalg. also buff almalg with some more exborg research

[plucky lagoon]

How about adding new button to galaxy view, that will show takeover timer for every territory? It will be very helpful

[sterile zenith]

Make wave defense bearable and not have it be an absolutely awful chore:

Give us the option for the current manual play for people who actually enjoy it in its current state and an automated mode where you can set target priority for each of your ships and the AI just attacks one ship after the other according to your settings.

WD in its current state is easily the worst content the game has to offer and there's no reason for it to be such a chore.

[grave coyote]

Increase the payout for lower level waves. When upgrades are in the 10k+ range, giving a couple of hundred for a mid level party win sucks. Not everybody can reach wave 10 every time you know.

[hidden scarab]

A Chance to Escape research that costs resources and NOT MONEY so all players can benefit. When attacked on any node, in any state, the defender has a 50% chance to escape the battle, warp away unharmed and return home, maybe give attacker 50% of over cargo if applicable. Given the 5 second delay you instigated before the ship can warp away gives more scope to be attacked as a fast ship can attack and cover a third of the system before the warp countdown concludes. I was going to suggest a warp button without a delay, like the Discovery has two buttons, but that would mean spending time watching your ships and we are all to busy for that.

[idle linden]

couldn't agree more! OR hold them in a restricted area! example : intruders can only visit the cardassian area. now it's nowhere safe...

[idle linden]

suggestion : a refiner in which you can merge shields, or convert blue prints in to something else....

[keen flame]

Including a new matching symbol for the Officers so that we can improve the synergy choices would be nice. IE: Those who would initiate morale with those who use morale as boosts. Same concept as the Lightning bolt

[split geyser]

Addendum #?? To my huge list....

1. Add a drop down menu for research trees divided up by type of research such as damage increase, rep increase, shield, hull etc. or a "Hide Completed" button so it would only show unfinished research.

[pliant igloo]

Revamp Faction Hunt and Swarm Sunday. Both events aren’t worth doing Ops 45 plus. The rewards are lackluster at best.

[crude sandal]

Can we get a "Quick Tier" button for when we are trying to tier up ships and have all the mats required to do so?

The Quick Tier button would buy all the remaining parts required and begin the teir up process at once.

It just takes so long to click thru all the parts to tier up these small ships from 0 to max.

[devout quail]

and throw in a levelup slider.

[buoyant ivy]

You finally added an option that everyone wants, why just here ? you should put this button everywhere

[worldly epoch]

Ok Dev's. I have a Suggestion. Concept and game play change that will make a new avenue to the game play. But due to the complexity. I would like to discuss this in a more private forum via Email or DM or Private channel.
(THIS SUGGESTION: Would effect Franklin and Franklin-A as Utility far beyond just a grinding ship)

[nocturne lantern]

How Could it be that a Level 54 with 109.946.064 can Beat Level 31 an Envoy with 100.357 and a Level 31 can't attack a Level 22 🤔

I Don't see the point in this Story 😂

By the way, one of them comes into our area 1 or 2 times a day and shoots small miners, very heroic by the way 😂

[vestal mesa]

Is your area in territory?

[nocturne lantern]

Yes it is

[vestal mesa]

Because in regular space a 49 can't hit a 31 let alone a 54. so you could move to regular space and avoid the person completely. Just as a possible solution lol

[nocturne lantern]

The thing is that they hunting in regular Space to an hit the Miners 😁

[vestal mesa]

Territory is no man's land! Ruled bye the fist! Fight! Or die! No Geneva conventions mad max rules! The weak are broken or molded into creatures of battle! Lol sorry dude that 54 can't kill your miners in regular space but his smaller buddies can definitely smack you down if they chose too. Good luck! The night is dark and full of terrors! Lol

[nocturne lantern]

Didn't understand clearly why in the Territory they can and in free Space they can't 😳 how refreshing Pointless 😂

[vestal mesa]

@nocturne lantern I'm not sure either lol but that is how it's set up. There are some drawbacks to being a lower ops guy I was just trying to be honest lol. There is a ops 62 dude that blasted my miner today and ain't nothing I can do about it except wack all his friends and all there friends friends. Pvp at its finest.

[nocturne lantern]

I know what you mean bud, I do the same 😁 Hope they rewrite 🖋 it and make it a bit fairer 😎😁

[ionic arrow]

it seems to be an artifact of how territory fights work, to avoid big alliances of actual players losing to a ton of lvl 20 alts that none of them can shoot.

[nocturne lantern]

I saw that at the Incursion Event and I also find this event totally pointless because even as level 31 you can only raid level 45 but not above that.

[ocean hawk]

an alliance summoning module for the disco, allow you to summon fellow alliance members to a location.

[slate warren]

Don't think that would happen

[ocean hawk]

it's a suggestion.. not a demand.. but a simple dream

[brave bronze]

There are high level systems without hostiles and high warp requirements to get out of. Summoning a teammate there could lock their ship.

[queen pelican]

then you summon them back :p

[ionic arrow]

if that was ever allowed someone would summon me out of a solo armada or away from blowing someone up or out of token space and then my alliance would have one less member

[queen pelican]

"You have received a collect call from xxxx, would you like to accept?"

[vestal mesa]

I would join an alliance and summon people for me buddies to wack lol

[frosty spade]

I would like to suggest an “anti-troll” pack that allows us to fully block individual players - no comms and they cannot see or hit our ships or stations. I haven’t spent a dime in game since September or October, but I’d buy several of these packs today 🙃

[teal ridge]

reduce the extremely hard wave defenses so that low lv 30 ops can at least take part in them, a t8 epic ship can only last to wave 3 , then dead, dead, dead

[royal rune]

Can ther be an indicator of which ship has a Forbidden Tech equipped?

[lilac matrix]

👍

[ocean hawk]

Scopes, if your not planning of moving the 61 ops folks into their own bracket. Perhaps consider placing them in a 56+ bracket. Or continue to have the dam of level 49-50 folks camp for eternity

[proven plank]

jesus, unlock all the docks for repair already, why does everything in the god dam game got to be a grind, our biggest whale is tak9ng a one month break, what do you think the odds of him coming back after starting a new game for that long will be

[light nymph]

Can we get an announcement of what the comp chest will be for the game breaks tomorrow?

[boreal zealot]

A humble suggestion, make the Ship Hangar a place where we can check the ships in our garage. The Armory and the Ship Hangar do not need to go to the same Refit place..

[remote island]

Server transfer for older accounts

[manic fiber]

We need a wave defense daily to help push people to do them. Could be as simple as kill 10 wave hostiles. Reward could be 100 or so Section 31 credits

[zenith wedge]

Please no wave defense daily. Not doing them because they are a lousy addition. Cut the mechanic, don't force people to participate in something that isn't fun

[light nymph]

Like the hailing frequencies

[onyx kernel]

Just give us a daily drip of S31 credits for free. No one in their 30s is doing them anyway and they need to the upgrades

[mellow bronze]

It's that time again: decide what the word "hostile" means in descriptions and codify it. Does it include armadas? Does it include yellow bosses? Who knows? Ship abilities, officer abilities, captain's maneuvers, research: these things do not seem to agree on a definition...

[reef basin]

General Event suggestion: Event Milestone reward choice. Have 2 reward packages at each milestone and let us choose the reward best suited to our game needs. For instance, a choice of 4* mats or 3* mats (or 4*/5* as applicable to level), Syndicate XP or Independent Credits, Parsteel or Tritanium/Dilithium, etc.

[waxen timber]

Incusrion suggestion --> since there are no territory defends on Tuesday ahve incursions then OR make Territory of limits to incursions... just a thought

[fossil tiger]

Wave Defense suggestion - make the hostiles drop small amounts of Section 31 credits, e.g. 1-10 per hostile depending on the 1-10 wave
will encourage people to not be afk, motivate to actually get better at waves and ever so slightly increase the credit sourcing without breaking the current WD setup

[hushed marsh]

How about running some events for the lower level/power players instead of always for the higher ones.
Yes, you had the Borg cube for lvl 28 but then blocked tier 2 upgrade until lvl 34, what is the point of that!!

[humble creek]

Have the Devs considered actually watching the TV shows and considering the lore?
The Xindi are members of the Federation by TNG/DS9 era and we are meant to believe that Xindi Space is on the far side of the Cardassian Union/Dominion Space?
Why not tack it onto Bor or Kiyu, where it actually makes sense for the NX-01 to have gone?

[rose copper]

Stop with the lazy color change refits. Put some effort into it. A tactical cube refit would have been awesome, a tiny color changes boring and blah.

[ripe tapir]

Repeal the Borg Cutting Beam Whale Tax!!

[vestal furnace]

Suggestion: let the Xindi auto-attack the Borg cube and give it a special ability to increase damage against xindi. This gives the Borg Cube a purpose and reduces the time for grinding.

[subtle relic]

They will probably release a new ship next month to do all that!

[nocturne lantern]

I suggest the higher leadership in scopely be sacked due to being inept at thier jobs

[dull vessel]

add the 0 you forgot at all the xindi hostiles this arc DOA 5min afther release

[zinc cove]

Seriously, take an arc off and just fix bugs and improve stability. You could rerun some old arc stuff that people liked during that time.

[nocturne lantern]

Game was fun back when “armadas coming soon”, now it’s become a slow lag show with constant false promises. We don’t need more speciality ships, armadas, hostiles, and other tedious grind loops… add all the new stuff to a research node, or something…. it would be nice to go back to basics and enjoy the game again!

[dire oracle]

Increase xindi loot by x10. This loop is the slowest and costliest ever conceived. Or make the favours 4 times as strong to make up in that way

[fossil tiger]

could you please show the normal exborg credits too in the top bar? such a silly UI oversight 🙃

[dreamy brook]

add an additional statistic tab fpr incursion: pts for lost (raided) ressources

[mortal blaze]

Sugestion make an recycle event where we can re-use all useless old event credits (or some of them ) so we recycle them or get them again too

[nocturne lantern]

Digit, can you expand the hours of the day to 30? thank yoyu

[coarse socket]

If your motto for 2024 is quality over quantity, it should matter for the small stuff too. If you're hiring a proofreader, send me a message.

[dry plank]

Your iOS update wasn’t checked either

[knotty zodiac]

Can you avoid the website-only sales and related events until you learn how to manage a website? We get that you have no control over an app you’re leasing from Chinese programmers, but the least you could do is hire locally for a website. A ton of people cannot sign in, reset credentials, claim daily keys and now whatever this pink Borg nonsense is. Everyday seeing the same posts: get your keys; we can’t because the website’s broken

[wild oracle]

The Xindi grind is too much effort for the reward. I don't think I'll do it. I just don't have the time. If you could make the Xindi hostiles count towards the Ex-Borg daily, I'd at least do some of them every day.

[pliant igloo]

Same here. I don’t have time to do it. Just like Wave Defense.

[red mica]

Hey scopley, this has been suggested every single arc. STOP INTRODUCING NEW GRINDS. It's all way too much. The Xindi grind is ridiculous, on top of all of the other time consuming daily grinds. When will the madness stop?

[small oriole]

What do you mean they only patronized us running their greedy bs mouths about caring about players and the quality of released

[reef basin]

Dead game. All anyone is interested in is logging in, "sending ships" to td, and auto-grinding, while learning officer combos from youtubers. While you did a good job of providing depth, no one wants to dig into it.

[lavish marlin]

reduce grinding... there should be "achievable goals" and be done with them after certain points, not to keep the grind/loop forever, you have overwhelmed players

an example would be both augmented and outlaws. for augmented, get a super high reputation level goal or something hard to achieve with them, but once you do it, everything in the store costs 1 data, the only limit being the cd time, but you won't need to go farm a single data anymore for the rest of your life with a single load of it.

for outlaws, make it harder too, get a Stella to max level, get certain reputation limit as well, and maybe add the need of a max level epic exchange armada with a max level Stella (sorta like ascension) or a research (like exborgs), and that's it, be done with it. no more Stella, no more need for Outlaw Thursday except to help your friends, no more Scrapping, shop is just free, and you, for achieving such feat, can rest and grind whatever you want/need on Thursday, that's your reward, because rn, the only reward for your your hard work is more work.

[reef basin]

Yeah. And source more ship bps besides 1 per day. By the time it's achieved, there are 2 more ships to source. At least cut the sourcing time in half by sourcing 2 bps instead of 1.

[young delta]

Can we seriously adjust the dang PvP threshold? Having players at 59+ able to attack players in the mid 40s with ships that aren’t a quarter of the power is ridiculous! It is no better than providing the schoolyard bully with the biggest bat you can afford!

[vestal mesa]

I would suggest u offer a Minecraft level graphics version if you can't keep the game running any other way! Plug a leak! Something!

[keen flame]

Please show Decoded Data availability in Rogue Faction so we can know how much is available for Directives

[ebon willow]

Provide an API to allow us to write a working client, please Scrashly.

[rigid ibex]

There is no PvP threshold in territory actually.

[drifting knot]

Add a ship to increase loots dropped from Xindi hostiles....oh: I have spotted you

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-leonardo-dicaprio-meme-gif-264784357847079048

[hasty timber]

Put Monaveen bps in the faction store.

[lone lion]

Here's an idea 💡.... add the power destroyed points you earn during incursions to people's p.d score. After all, power destroyed is power destroyed. I'm missing 100s of millions of p.d. or add another p.d rank leaderboard for incursions. Either way, FIX IT......... 😡🤬

[young delta]

Never mentioned anything about territory. I have no issue with there being no PvP cap in territory, but the rest of the galaxy is another story all together!

[rigid ibex]

You mentioned the Discovery pvp event, and that was located in the beta systems of territory.

[young delta]

Sorry… no mention of the disco event: “Can we seriously adjust the dang PvP threshold? Having players at 59+ able to attack players in the mid 40s with ships that aren’t a quarter of the power is ridiculous! It is no better than providing the schoolyard bully with the biggest bat you can afford!”

[rigid ibex]

Ok, my mistake, but i get what you mean, the bracket widens a lot with the increase of ops level, an ops 60 level player can still attack a ops 39 level player.

[dry dock]

Three gameplay requests:

1. Please have the Amalgam refinery options disappear from view once you own them
2. Please have the ability to "hot swap" ships from one dock to another, without having to go through so many steps to first remove it from "A" to then use it in "B". As long as it is not deployed, it should have the option to be chosen to use in another dock
3. Please make the ability to swap officers available even if you have not fully tiered up a ship yet. It is a huge waste of time to have to swap in a higher-tiered ship just to unlock its officers below deck to be able to move them to the bridge, then have to swap back to the ship I then intend to use.
   With the time-suck that so many of the new features have become, it would be nice to be able to smooth out some of the basic usage elements that have nothing to do with having to "earn them"

[real quiver]

While I don't really like the idea of diluting the AT assignment pool (it's already hard enough to get the ones you value), I think folks might welcome an AT that rewarded you with minor commendations (to be spent on whichever badges you need)?

[mortal blaze]

Why is the reward from the "complete new missions" event so useless and low, only 1, 15 min speedup 1, 5 min speed up and a 1 min speed up??

[rustic trellis]

Because they are cheap skates there @ $copely 🤷🏼‍♂️

[rose current]

Might be helpful not to have Trials go off in token space. Wastes tokens and directives.

[knotty zodiac]

If you cannot watch Star Trek in your country, you can at least google “Borg cutting beam”. Cutting beam is TNG phaser orange. Tractor Beam is green.

[nocturne lantern]

I am very disappointed and very mad now because you never release Star Trek Fleet Command on Linux??????? Why I should wait longer until I am getting 50 years or 60 years old???? I don't believe there Scopely team hate Linux, correctly? I give up to wait for Linux Support. But development team scams to poor penguins 🐧 😢 . I know that Unity3D has full support on Linux. Why do you not expect that? You ignore my suggestion since October 2023?? WHERE IS LINUX Package????

I want to stop playing on Stfc. Because Windows is really dangerous. I never use Windows and macOS. I use on Ubuntu 22.04.3 because I am favor of penguins.

[mortal herald]

I would welcome Xindi to level between 35 and 40. One is weak and the other is very strong for a change. Instead of the three weakest systems, everyone could have been different.

[sage rock]

maybe delede it our upgrade it.. no one will spend that much for 20m our 12m trit

[wide rapids]

If you’re going to keep adding grind loops to the game the least you could do is up the hostile kill cap

[queen pelican]

would be nice if they added a few 0s to those

[grizzled sapphire]

Can we get a way to break down materials like the exborg credits breakdown? for example 4* of 5* epic materials into rare and rare to uncommon? Seems like theres a general system in place now just need to convert it to materials and slap it in the refinery. Would assist in g4/g5 economy.

[queen pelican]

convert g4 to g5 yes please

[broken cloud]

My alliance admiral has a suggestion about the waves, however she wants me to preface it with shes been drinking fireball.. Turn the waves into Tribbles.. imagine little tribble battleship pilots, tribble swarms. She'd be doing waves all day long if they were tribble hostiles instead of what they currently are.

[normal olive]

you all need to make a movie enterprise...like from star trek the motion picture or wrath of khan...

[keen chasm]

hi, happy new year to dev team ! so, a suggestion for favorites bookmarks : will it be possible to have tabs for class system favorites and A-Z - Z-A sorting ? And in seraching system the possibility to have a whole list by level if we write swarm for example ? thanks

[spiral whale]

What's really necessary is a way to remove alliance members from mines in territory. Hourlong zero-node blockings in territory are a problem across all alliances and across all servers. Having the possibility to shot ships of you own alliance would help sorting this out. One could imaging a restriction for the possibility to shot alliance members only to the territory, or it could be limited to a new rank withing the alliance, so that just a few people can shoot. I would appreciate this 😉

[ocean minnow]

I like it, “Hunters” if you will. Only the Admiral can assign them, and they have the same fleet privileges as a premier, except add the ability to see who is on. But they are NOT considered a command officer. They have a duty, not a power to perform.

[remote island]

Or just ask an allied alliance to come to kill

[ocean minnow]

That is already done, but one should be able to clean one’s own mess I always say. 😋

[drifting knot]

Find someone in Galaxy Chat.

[nocturne lantern]

What about the construction 🏗 and research tree, why can't you work through the tree chronologically, with the Borg cube I can level the branch at the very back and everything is locked at the beginning. 😳

You start logically at the front and then work your way backwards 🤔

[glossy apex]

Could we get some kind of Galaxy HUD option that displays missions not accepted yet?

[zinc plinth]

Since you advertised a 5-minute loop for the new event You do realize you could possibly be sued in court for false advertising

[reef basin]

Bitter much? Go outside.

[gloomy lagoon]

"Collect all" button please 🙏😀

[zinc plinth]

Not bitter.... Just tired of corporation lies

[reef basin]

To be honest, the "corporate" guys only pay attention to the money received. The developers are the ones facing the hurdles, from inside and out. Mistakes get made. Is it annoying? Yes. Is everything always right from the get-go? No. Is it fixable? Yes. The developers/designers are human. It's hard to get everything right when you have executives yelling at you about money from one side while fans are screaming (rudely I might add) about imperfections from the other.

[zinc plinth]

Lmao...... Let me guess you're a developer for this game.... If you're going to make a statement on how the game is going to perform on your website as a launch to entice players you might as well do it right the first time.... Otherwise just say hey this is a new thing we're trying it out let's see how it goes Don't make a promise that it's a 5-minute grind or loop.... It's a false statement.... It's called beta testing sandboxing a server making sure everything goes right before launching it... Game developers have done that for years just don't understand why this portion of Scopely doesn't understand that...

[reef basin]

You're out of touch. Deadlines still exist. In-house beta testers do not. You can blame the corporate guys for that one.

[nocturne lantern]

To be completely honest... it's a 5 minute grind to collect enough credits for a box in the shop. At least if you bought the Prime package and also take the new Picard and Data. 🤷🏻‍♂️. I need 7 minutes for a box. I'm missing the new Picard. 🙄. It costs me exactly one Korinar... then I have an average of 10800 credits. A box costs 9000 credits at my level. Of course, this only works if you increase the Exborg research. Nevertheless, I don't really like the whole thing 🫠 Without the research, it was impossible. I would have preferred the new ship coming this month!

[rugged adder]

Stop slaughtering the geese that lay golden eggs

[sage rock]

scopido is still joking.. i am lvl 56 and dont need those g4 our even g3 materials.. give bit more trit at least work on it.

[sterile sentinel]

Update Andkara, Kemetja and Resara systems to have level 45-50 eclipse armadas and level 45 eclipse surveys.

They are a waste of space currently, having only level 29-31 surveys and no armadas.
Surveys of these levels can already be found in eclipse systems up to Wallach.

[faint sandal]

Hi DEV team, first time posting. I completely understand the need to make money. But to be Syndicate lvl 20 to be able to accept all chests? That’s a bit ridiculous.

[nocturne lantern]

so I didn't understand why you level up Romulans with credits now, while you need ep or nano probes for the other recruits, perhaps that can be changed a bit🤔

[turbid heath]

thank you, forgot I could get trit in apex, I was ignoring it 🤣

[thick cosmos]

You don’t level romulans or anyone else with credits. You promote them with credits, and everyone needs credits from a certain rank onwards, depending on the rarity of the officer.

[nocturne lantern]

1600 Romulan Credit for Level 1 Romulan Recruit and I need to Promote them 😳 they have a pay check 😁 but it's Very Cheap sounds like Black Friday or Cyber Monday 🤔😂😂😂

[turbid heath]

officers have a level and a rank (like a ship tier vs ship level)

or do you mean for buying recruit tokens with credits?

[nocturne lantern]

For Arix I need 125k Ep and 1100 Credits to Promote him.

[turbid heath]

it gets worse, but yes that's right 🙂

you don't particularly need his officer ability though, so take a view on whether you want to save faction credits for ships etc as you go

[nocturne lantern]

I thought the same thing, I'd rather collect the credits to get ships instead of spending them on recruits that aren't worth leveling anyway 😁😉

[dry blaze]

Need a separate chat for armada call ins. Armada events have begun to disrupt the cohesion of our 101 member alliance. It’s all business and no chat. What used to keep us together was the people….people have either dropped or are definitely spending less time in game and/or moving on. Want to keep churn down? This is something that needs high prioritization by the product team.

[silver elm]

Is there any chance that we can get a serious waves upgrade? I think this would be much more popular if there was a matchmaking queue for waves. Something where you can pick your ship, start queueing und get a response how long it takes for your entry. The dialogue could even give you response like "save some time for picking a Mantis, because Player Count with Mantis in the queue is very low at the moment". Maybe some extra chest for the "most needed ships" in the queue? The Queue can build groups as necessary, so that every group gets the right amount of ships needed. Player-Ships could be rated by strength and crew for an even split between groups (so that every group has equal size players in it). If you want, there could also be an queue option for high OPS players to check a box for "help lower level players an get a extra reward", they would then be paired in lower level groups rather than their equal mates...

[dry blaze]

Also, for what started as a mobile first game and eventually blossomed into a cross platform universe…it seems iPhone users have been left with a dud experience. Usually, prior to this arc launch - game crashes occurring every 15-20 minutes. Now closer to every 10 minutes. This is not just annoying in most situations but in time critical pve moments like waves, it’s the difference between a wave 9 defeat and a wave 10 victory. (I haven’t even mentioned the incredible number of bugs that plague daily game play)

In the wise words of @silent wave “SCOPELY!! FIX IT!”

@gusty jasper tagged for visibility

[wild oracle]

There is getting to be a lot of specialty research for specific starships under the Starships research tree. To make navigating that tree easier, all the branches should be collapsed under an expandable heading labeled according to each applicable ship. So, for example, you click on the Mantis button and it only displays the Mantis-specific branch.

[pulsar hedge]

Raiding needs improvement, long overdue. Amalgam capacity needs huge increase; after a certain level, bases have 10s or 100s of billions of reserves. It takes days to partially empty even with a fully tiered Amalgam. The last several billion can’t be taken as it’s done at around 18m per trip.

The 5 second firing at the base needs removing once the base is destroyed. It makes raiding even more boring and time-consuming. Base is destroyed so why a 5-second animation of blasting it every time?!

[ornate rampart]

To level your cube to T6 you should be allowed to use any 4* ship., not just the Kting, Valdore, Kelvin to T6.

[slender lance]

I would like to have more options to disable confirmation dialogs, e.g. just use borgs cube cutting beam without confirmation or cloak, etc.

[visual grail]

be careful with suggestions... they likely will do it but make you buy a pack to get that enhancement 😦

[slender lance]

QoL-Prime 1% less confirmations, just 99.99

[knotty zodiac]

Have you looked into scalable bandwidth yet?

[wintry glade]

Do we really need the pop up to say if we won or lost a battle. We have enough pop ups for the events! The Victory and Defeat ones are just more spam on the screen we do not need. It's not to hard for us to work out if we won or lost. Ship still alive - won, ship destroyed - Lost.

[knotty zodiac]

But the Borg Cube is a 4⭐️ ship… you’d set up a recursive algorithm resulting in a feedback loop and 💥 BAM!
[/geordi]

[lavish marlin]

I am just here to ask... whose idea was to transform the anti-grind faction into a grind bigger than what it reduces?

[modest badge]

i suggest to do a holomission for the newe owner of a vojager ship, to show where to beginn and how to start. even on the helpdesk i found not really a hint how to do.

[pulsar hedge]

I’d like to know the answer to this, too. It’s now the biggest grind in the game. How the hell was that sanctioned?

[swift lily]

It would be nice to be able to view the events page without having to collect literally EVERY milestone I've completed first.

Collection should be separate from viewing.

[verbal ermine]

Please implement an Option to kick Players from waves! We have one Guy who Always send only one ship and Grabs rewards but never helps

[shrewd yoke]

suggestion: could you please STOP deleting chats in less than 24 hours? This has happened several times now and it's a real pain to find the person who I was corresponding with.

[split geyser]

Reiteration from my enormous suggestion list:

Ability to hot swap crews. Put it on a huge cooldown if you must but sometimes I don't wan to travel 13 minutes to swap out my hostile crew for an armada crew or swap out armada crew for PVP crew. Would also make testing crews for different hostiles way easier. Could also do it as locations throughout the galaxy and make me pay some kind of credit to do it.

[sage root]

Please add more tritanium and dilithium to event rewards.

Even packs for sale come up short. The ship upgrade packs include a good amount of materials, but don’t have anywhere near enough tritanium, which undermines their appeal — why spend money and still come up short of the immediate goal? And very very few packs provide much of anything in terms of dilithium.

Yes, it’s not supposed to be easy … but by comparison, parsteel flows in pretty well.

[swift lily]

Need an alternate mechanism other than Wave Defense for Section 31 credits. Lower level and solo players are cut out of this faction unfairly.

[torpid meadow]

UI improvement suggestion

On PC version (maybe on apps too), make a double-click of your ships icon at the bottom of the screen, automatically take you to it, so activate the "locate" function.

[jolly jungle]

We should get monthly galactic trades. For 1 day a month we get 8 hours where we can trade with others for shards and territory particles.

[zinc cove]

A free to play pass for extra building and research queue unlocks would be amazing. Maybe have an SLB for those who don't have them, and first place gets an unlock.

[zinc cove]

One would think, they are on the same ship. Someone could just come up from engineering to the bridge. Charge turbolift tickets 😂

[versed token]

With this arctic front that's affecting most of the United States, and the internet is spotty at best (I've had to restart the game 12 times) it would be a very nice gesture from Scopley to give everyone an automatic 3 day gold shield like they do after updating the game. (USA only)

[devout quail]

there needs to be a way to apply diplomacy tags to individual players.
a bit inconvenient if you can't mark someone you're at war with because they don't have an alliance.

[short belfry]

Trade down for ore crystal and gas like we have for the materials in the Ex-Borg store.

[swift lily]

It would be nice if Scopely would reprogram the Support Bot to be actually useful.

Also, the asinine reliance and requirement for "screenshots" for everything is stupid. You can't go back in time and get a screenshot of an app crash. You can't take a screenshot of something NOT working.

Come on, people.

[hollow jolt]

I understand they are trying to do something different with the officer spend events with the new SMS. I think if I did every single non-prime research at my level, I would not reach the final tier(or even get close). So the only way to do it is through primes. Unless I start doing multiple primes, there are only a few primes that give me enough points. If they want people to spend real world money on these spend events(which clearly they do and there is nothing wrong with that) they should change it to where we can use more than just 2-3 primes to do the event. I dont even want those primes, but I would be a lot more willing to spend some money on other primes if it also unlocked me an officer.

[grim marten]

lower the grind on the new stuff.. ex borg research has ground to a halt with the new stuff also eating the credits 😉 farming one box a day with RNG pulls is absolutely not okay. Not with the current repair costs for this ridicilous new mechanic.

[sterile sentinel]

Change the Borg Cube refit to a Borg Sphere. That way it's an actual reskin, not just a recolor.

Still like the bonus though; instead of pew, it's peeewwwww, peeewwwww. 🤩

[swift lava]

I don't remember this episode of DS9. Use one of the dozens of other generic planets instead?

[sterile sentinel]

Add Meridian to the Cosmic Cleanup Event Store.

[round badger]

Fix the damn Research Bldg so you can check on research without having to speed through building upgrade

[velvet inlet]

Uhhh open your base and click on the research building

[round badger]

This is Clicked on the Research Blg!!! You can see all it tells me is finish the upgrade

[peak perch]

there’s a tab where all the research and buildings go to the left of the screen..

[round badger]

The main screen shows Research to the left of the screen. But again it is only to speed up research. Maybe you want to look at "Impulse Speed Research". Not finish your Research or your Building Upgrade in order to look at something of interest. There is No Tab for Looking at Research. Give me a Picture to Correct my Thinking.

[ocean minnow]

Click on the number under the R&D section. It should open up to the second screen.

[thick cosmos]

Click on shipyard, then click on the r&d dependency to upgrade the shipyard. That will take you to the normal screen you get for the r&d building, then you can use the research button as usual.

[ocean hawk]

Waves should get different event themed days that highlight and boost the damage of various specialized ships. This could especially be useful for lower level players as say on a particular day their level 35 to 40 could hit up dramatically higher than usual.

[round badger]

Clicking on the Number under the R&D Department Building Does Nothing but open the same Finish Research Screen. As shown in my picture.

[ocean minnow]

Okay, then you will need to do the other trick. It’s an “around your bung hole to get to your head” type of thing, but that will work. (The one that @thick cosmos posted)

[round badger]

None of these Round About ways to get to see Research while your Research Building is being upgraded WORKS! JUST ADD A BUTTON. Nothing you have told me works. Or lie to me and say we have planned for a future expansion. As is finish a Research or Finish Research Building Upgrade is THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS

[queen pelican]

Did you do what swimming said?

[thick cosmos]

I see the research button in this screenshot, did you try clicking on it

[vestal mesa]

Lol

[thorn yoke]

I have a suggestion.... Remove the condition from this new exborg favor. I have never used a red crew that creates these modifiers, the main deck mitigation slot is too valuable and the BDO officers that proc this rarely, if ever, hit. So these favors are virtually useless....

[gray quest]

Idea: Enhance PVP insight into the server, alliances and alliance members outside of incursions.

The idea is to track the number of ship kills/tonnage sunk/tonnage stolen from bases/tonnage strolen from ships between alliances. Similar to XALB for incursions but do it all the time. Each alliance could see internally their own member ranking, just like when have an ALB event. The server could see at alliance level. The events could run over a longer cycle outside of incursions. Like 7 day event.

[hidden thorn]

omg if only that were possible to have a 'direct to galaxy' button or something

[nocturne lantern]

Seriously 🤔 😳 😳 😳

[south lake]

Employ better IT staff

[nocturne lantern]

And then we get better Event Loot, just kick the whole IT team and bring in a new one 🤔

Good call 🤙 😎😁

[loud dock]

A blue print exchange option to trade older on little used extra blueprints for more useful ones could be very helpful. Something like the used starship location in an episode of Star Trek Voyager could be used.

[sterile sentinel]

The rare tier officer that will be released with Archer, expecting next Arc, should have below deck ability of isolytic damage boost vs hostiles & armadas. We already have 7 of 9 & Dr T'ana for PvP.

[magic hill]

When developing new content, employ people who know what they are doing and who know the game. Fire everyone who has anything to do with the current ARC. They can only have been incompetent!

[royal rune]

can we store more than 300 battle logs please? maybe like 1000?

[little wedge]

Can we please have the ability to customize what notifications we get? Armada start notifications are essentially just spam - especially when someone is running solos and it sends a push notification anyways. Turning all notifications off is not ideal because some are very valuable.

If we could toggle the different types of notifications it’d be a nice quality of life improvement.

[river crow]

Place the refit for the Borg Cube in the store for the App version of the game please, before the time expires.

[wild oracle]

Sometimes I'm based in Deep Space with ships deployed and I'd like to mine corrupted data, but can't. It would be cool if we could have some more corrupted data nodes in other parts of the galaxy. Maybe in notable systems of interest like one where there is a black hole at the center like Singularity Apex or something like that. Although if it isn't a hub to the system where I am based, I guess I still wouldn't be able to mine it. Maybe there just needs to be a way to upgrade the warp range of the Botany Bay.

[wild oracle]

Captains don't usually have below-decks abilities. It doesn't fit with the canon.

[ripe tapir]

Hey Scopely, here’s a suggestion to juice sales of the Wave Defense BP, cuz I’m willing to bet they’re not selling as well as you had hoped. Stop making the bulk of the rewards more Ciphers. Too much to do in this game already. Vast majority of us don’t have the spare time to run another 40 WDs, and that’s on top of the extra Ciphers from the f2p track. Just give more Sec31 creds instead with each milestone. Say, the equivalent of 5-7 Waves beaten x2, since currently each milestone gives 200 Ciphers. I guarantee you’ll sell a lot more Battle Passes

[earnest yoke]

Please get rid of the "DONE" or "COLLECT" screen. it would be one less to screen to dismiss....or at least allow us to click/select anywhere on the screen to dissmis it

[vestal mesa]

Yes I agree we are having crashing issues in the crazy menus¡!!!!!!!! Let's get rid of all the extra screen clicking thru these processes. Stream line it so we can do these things with fewer loads!!!!

[visual musk]

There should be a function where an Admiral can kick, abandoned bases from their alliance controlled territories.

[ocean hawk]

Imagine an arena that starts out like waves. However groups of players have to rush an objective, while others try to defend it. In a way players are the reds!

[wide rapids]

I’d rather have a functioning app that doesn’t crash every 5 minutes

[slate warren]

With how the PvP range works that is a bad idea

[hidden scarab]

@gusty jasper @cold escarp Since Scopely forced players past the Enterprise Faction Lock by giving 13m rep for the first reward of the Per Aspera event (which I reached through the Battle Pass and NOT buying Ent-E Data) AND as we are unable to accept rewards from specific events AND as Scopely are unable to reverse the faction lock you forced upon players, make the time and resources we have already used to increase the XP gained on all ships not just ships in Fed, Kli, Rom space. Also to help with 'Quality over Quantity' how about higher level systems in Augment space, Yarda is Lvl36 which only allows up to Lvl37 hostiles.

[timid nimbus]

Too many events require NEVER using resources for months in order to compete - artifacts, 3*, syndicate as current examples. A little bit of creativity and you could have some fun events.

[ocean hawk]

For realz, events that on occasion reward building materials would go a long way.

[true abyss]

Would it be possible for the limited time events rewards to scale with the players level like in other events? Getting these rewards at level 46 is kinda pointless.

[hollow flint]

Is there a need for so many significant figures when showing resources needed for an upgrade? It makes the font size so small that it’s nigh-on impossible to see where any decimal point is, which makes it entirely unhelpful

[echo onyx]

So we finally get the option to get tal and its 100 instead of 50.

[muted mortar]

Armadas need to have directives get refunded if the attack does not go off.

[twilit verge]

Please let us set diplomacy for untagged players.

[hidden scarab]

As Scopely are requiring a ship at a certain tier and level now to upgrade another ship, e.g. Borg Cube to Tier 7 requires a Rare G4 ship at Tier 6 (I had no plans to build a Rare G4 ship). Scopely must give players easier access to resources and BPs for the ships required to meet level up requirements. As a Lvl 52 player, I no longer get G4 materials in the dailies, this should be reversed and G4 resources put back in the dailies. Also why do I still get ship parts for low level ships, Kumari for example, these are of no use, remove them from the potential drops in high level systems and increase the chance of an appropriate BP for the system we are grinding in. As Scopely is forcing us to play the game in certain ways it is only reasonable to expect the required BPs and resources to be readily available. @cold escarp @gusty jasper

[buoyant sky]

I would really like there to be a boot in the game chat that could translate conversations into the chosen language. It is very difficult to talk to friends and follow the group chat using Google Translate, it is impossible to know what is happening in the conversations in real time. I believe that with automatic translation in chats into the native language chosen for each user by artificial intelligence, it would win over players all over the world. I'm Brazilian and all my friends from Brazil have difficulty playing in groups using the language in chat with American friends and other countries. If possible, implement something simple that can translate all chat conversations, it would be amazing!

[wintry peak]

I think it would be helpful to add the icons for the three boosts to the ship window when you're going after Actian Hostiles.

Like this:

[tight dune]

If I remember correctly they had that when the mantis was released.

[raven rampart]

Blueprint trade in! I can currently make hundreds of 2* ships I don't need. Trade in for other bps, mats, traits, etc would be extremely beneficial.

[zinc cove]

Everything in this game is half baked then forgotten about for the next thing

[storm crane]

on this point, the icons on the ships themselves are poorley designed. they should be 3 distinct shapes for accessibility [ I wont go into color ]. I myself have a VERY difficult time telling the difference between 2 of them on my ipad. it is IMPOSSIBLE on my phone.

[lusty sluice]

Add an option to skip the chest opening animation

[wintry peak]

Yes you're right. I think the triangle and the percentage symbols are too similar. Maybe they could change the triangle into something else...?

[zinc cove]

Reconfigure Borg cube (or some new ship) to be battle triangle agnostic

[oak cairn]

One of my players has been saying that awhile.

[oak cairn]

Take the circle off that one and make it a double triangle. Then the % stays the same.

[pastel hemlock]

I would like to see an officer with a below deck ability that increases Impulse speed.

[oak cairn]

A search topic in the research tree that includes all the different trees. Ex. Search impulse speed gives you a list of all your options.

[ionic arrow]

does this help? i know it's not in-game, but

[oak cairn]

Yeah how bout in game switching from discord to stfc to online while on mobile playing is a huge pain.

[amber badger]

Release me.

[ocean hawk]

With the new addition of Ex-borg being able to trade down for currency. I'd love for older currencies the opportunity to trade up say 2 star to 3 star. and 3 to 4 star. I could understand not using 5 and 6 star as it's the premiere source for sms scoring. Would love to be able to upgrade "dead" currency to the point of somewhat usefulness. Even a once a month event that provides a means to offload old currency for something more recent. For example the Paklids come in and want 2 and 3 star materials...

[pliant igloo]

Solo option for Wave Defense or scale the reds higher or lower by the number of participants. It’s a pain depending on others for this task.

[oak basin]

Why can't you put on a daily hostile counter. I know its there because it works. In BASIC it would be ? "hostile kill" ;x now how hard can that be?

[grave crown]

What if you put a “send to all alliance member” kind of messaging so all important game matters and doesn’t have discord can be informed? 🤝

[onyx kernel]

Please make all Artifact remnants into one button, claim all. There's no need to claim 1/5/20 when they don't translate into anything else

[ashen topaz]

Yes this would be hugely useful maybe limit it to admiral and commodore roles though so it doesn't get abused.

A pinned message function in alliance chat would be really helpful too

[true abyss]

Could we get reputation to translate to rewards once the faction is maxed? E.g. Rogue rep after maxed drops particles or Alliance rep drops Starbase loot

[ocean hawk]

Or outlaw that you continue to get rep every thursday that translates to nothing, when it could be particles or perhaps store loot.

[swift lily]

Really, there needs to be a separate metric for solos to get Section 31 credits and rep.
One shouldn't need to be dependent on others for faction progression. Very poorly designed.

[gaunt totem]

Can we get the option to sort officers by faction? As in what currency is required to promote them

[pliant igloo]

Yup. Further proof that players are the beta testers.

[swift lily]

Not everyone wants to be in an alliance, or to have to work with others. They should not be penalized by being cut out of an entire faction.

[queen pelican]

Some people don't want to do armadas or kill hostiles or mine, they should not be penalized by being cut out of an entire portion of the game. (just illustrating that this line of thought doesn't mesh with the game)

[ocean hawk]

I mean I can get on the anti-social s31 lonewolf train

[gaunt totem]

Imagine playing a massively multiplayer game, getting multiplayer content and then complaining it’s not single player

[nocturne lantern]

Imagine all player can switching to other server without the stoopid incursion event. Incursion forever!

[gaunt totem]

Just because the incursions don’t appeal to you doesn’t mean it isn’t liked by a large portion of the player base. This game is built to entertain a lot of people. Just because you don’t like any event doesn’t make it irrelevant.

[remote island]

I wouldn’t say a large amount but yes some do enjoy it ! Me being one

[ancient stream]

Sell a $100 avatar of Scotty talking to a mouse and call it “overtime for the UI dept to make battle logs in a format that is anything better than we have now” you’d make a fortune.

[warm charm]

Please please please add an option for open or closed in waves……… The starter would select open if they wanted anyone from the server to join or closed if they wanted only their alliance. I know we can do this by switching systems and hoping your alliance joins quick enough but that requires restarts and takes the enjoyment out of waves

[ocean hawk]

any other group game out there lets you join with friends, and when in need of a last spot look for a random to fill the spot. Why this wasn't included in waves.. Also needs a way to blacklist notorious AFK and terrible players to avoid them ever joining.

[narrow silo]

The gap between lvl 35 and lvl 40 Xindi is way too big.. either increase rewards for low lvls or make them easier

[swift lily]

Didja have fun, entirely missing the point?

[queen pelican]

Almost as fun as you did.

[unreal iron]

New Feature: Fleet Actions

Add missions for ships that work like Away Teams. The Fleet Actions require at least three ships of different classes/specialty ships or even factions in varying amounts. For example "Anti-Borg Offenseive requires a Talios in the lead position and then two more interceptor class ships of any faction. Assign your group of ships to a Fleet Action and send them away for X hours. What do they do? They FINISH A DAILY GRIND for you in 4, 8, 12 or 24 hours. This would EASE THE GRIND, allow old ships to have NEW life, and make the game feel more like a fleet action game. I don't know if this has been suggested before. Let me know what you think.

[ocean hawk]

It has been suggested, but great to refresh the idea

[unreal iron]

@ocean hawk 🙂

[spare sphinx]

Several large alliances being able to gang up and completely hold other alliances out of territory by overcrowding systems and having the largest players switch alliances every td is 🐎 💩. Change it.

[faint folio]

implement an adjustable lobby system for where you can choose, if you want to start ally internal, free4all, invite only, minimum level required or

[balmy talon]

Please add a boot button to wave defense. Need to boot randos when trying to gather a team for WD.

[sharp cypress]

Can we please have an option which allows us to skip the Done screen when claiming rewards etc?

[vestal mesa]

Or remove those extraneous screens to streamline the process

[keen flame]

Can we have a Server ID in our Profile description? Would be beneficial to determine where one plays. Can also help in figuring which Discord channel you can Subscribe to. Biggest question tho... why was this option removed from Profile description in the first place?

[timid nimbus]

I suggest you close suggestions. Just keep milking people who don't usually game. Introduce 4 new ships at £99 because non gamers will pay whatever you ask. Introduce more £99 packs. History has taught us that people will buy hair tonic made from donkey urine so why not. Mobile gamers will buy anything so milk them😂

[slender drum]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

Improvements to user experience / interface, reduce clicks, claim manager from the star of the game, not locked behind a syndicate paywall, improvements to notifications for all timers and incoming private msgs, quality of life improvements please.

[slender drum]

Just wait for an error screen, it says in the text at the bottom of the screen

[jolly moat]

Ideas for game arcs: You could do The Animated Series arc with new officers Arex, M'Res and Nurse Chapel. You could also do a Mirror Universe arc with a bearded Spock! Lots of untapped Star Trek lore there.

[idle linden]

suggestion : a way to merge shields! i have no use for 160 2h-peace shields. i can't login every 2h to start a new one. a mechanisme to transfor some 2h-sheilds into a 4h one, and so on, would be appreciated (a 3-for-3-for-1 mechanism maybe? 3 2h for 1 4h)

suggestion : a trading-mechanism (maybe only internal in an alliance) to exchange resources. fixed-rates (game-defined) would seem a good idea against extortion... it's another way alliance members could help eachother

[drifting knot]

very dangerous: if I need this resource to score in this event you can help me to win this event. A trading feature could be useful and with less risk between players and NPC because I have seen players breaking event moral rules agreeing among themselves: when? For example, PvP event in 4 rounds: you help me now and I will help you when you want. Savvy?

P.S.
It's dangerous also for Scopely: it could lose much money...savvy?

[idle linden]

if the event is MINE this resource, then trading it won't count. even getting it from killing hostiles won't count..
you have a point in the help-condition.... did only think about "you give me 40K of that against 1 of this, otherwise i'll kick you out of the alliance"-extortion..

[hardy mural]

New alliance feature:

Token Iso systems in territory for 1-3 grades of isogen. These tokens could be purchased in the alliance store with credits given for participating in takeovers or territory defense.

These are not systems you would have to defend during TD however they would be part of territories that could be captured. They would work similar to dominion/Borg/actian/voyager token systems, they would just be in territory attached to main systems in said territories.

This could allow bigger loads of isogen at a time. With servers that implement roe that involves no hitting in token space, it could be a way to mine isogen while being protected by roe.

[hardy mural]

It could also cause issues like real world trading....which is a huge issues for games that have trading systems. Ex: RuneScape , WoW, etc.

[cunning swift]

Hey can we add a 'burglar alarm' function to territories? As in, if there is no territory defense or takeover going on, when someone outside the alliance enters, the alliance members all get notified? Please?

[ocean hawk]

Would it be possible to have a "throw back event" maybe once a week. Maybe once a month. These events would encompass older content and give newer and leveling folks something to catch-up or for old vets to go back and top-off previous arcs items from ships to officers.

[umbral tangle]

I love this idea.

[toxic orchid]

It would be great if Xindi hostiles dropped ship parts too. This new grind plus staying on top of ship parts and all the other grinds is excessive.

[wide rapids]

They do it quarterly with the borg stuff usually.

[outer tiger]

I tried to reach feedback with a suggestion of giving us planets which would be found in personal systems. Star Trek was all about colonies on planets and the control but first you need a system ( computer coding) of delivery. Like I said… opening the adventure of exploring space and exploiting what you find can open the cross over communications to other servers. I’m in server 61 and go by the handle of Cold Station 11 which I claimed in January 2018( or maybe February) been playing space games for longer than most of you all been living.

[fervent steppe]

Add an effect filter on stfc.space for research related to hazard resistance

[idle linden]

isn't that what the holodeck is for?

[green drum]

communicate with us if merge is postponed again

[visual musk]

It would be nice to have better sourcing of G6 speed-ups and repairs for G6. It appears to be a bottleneck issue as not a lot of these items are offered as rewards or in Packs

[hardy mural]

Add a completed missions list to the game with the option to search alphabetically or the option to search by name (similar to system lookup)

It would be helpful when another player mentions a mission or if you are using a guide that tells you what missions to do.

I think it would be extremely helpful to have a list that shows the names of all the missions, rather than having to go all the way to a system to remember whether or not you've done s certain mission.

[hardy mural]

Also another suggestion. Please remove old failed q trials hostiles. I have a bunch just gathered up in one system. It's hard to find the right one when they are all over the place. Just lingering there...

[flint crow]

Can we please have anomaly sample mines STATIC, instead of them jumping around the system vanishing, making it incredibly annoying to mine the stuff

[hardy mural]

I agree, you already have to use a token to get here...they should also make the nodes bigger and hold more or at least make a system with bigger nodes

[ocean hawk]

Holodeck is missions...I mentioned events. Events that highlight and reward other arcs from old. Mega cube is great, but that's mostly the borg flavor.

[idle linden]

oh sorry! is misread your question!

[tough raptor]

Any chance of changing the mining meters to give more information? Time till full or OPC warnings. Other than what we're seeing now?

[ocean hawk]

I'd love a scanner so I can quickly see OP miners on nodes.. slowly clicking each and everyone is really lame. A nice lil glowly halo, more glow for more OP would be nice to que my eyes to a particular objective

[slow fog]

I would love if we could get an option to spend epic G4 mats on rare officer shards similar like we can get officers inTPs. Make it cost something like 20-30 of all 3 epic mats and make it possible to only spend it on already unlocked rare officer T2 or higher, so there is still need for the 100€ packs to exist. It would not replace sourcing as this method would be rather expensive, but it could help with bad rng in recruit token packs.

I would also like if on ops 55 there would be a tradedown option where we could break down UC G5 ship parts to Rare G4 ship parts, 1:1 with some limit like 1000 a day. Similar option for G6 UC to G5 rare on 65. It would allow people to go back and finish their old ships or upgrade specialty ship when they are already at levels where they do not have a good access to those parts. It is also high enough ops where those older ships are not powerful enough to really help much, and one level before a rare faction ship is available, which also incentivizes going up in ops.

[dawn geyser]

As a programmer I would suggest putting in away for players to trade in all there old event tokens so you can get rid of those that are attached to events you permanently cancelled. This way you don’t get glitches from ghost programs that are caused by having things that are attached to programs that have been deleted.

[timid pendant]

Would be nice to getting rid of past stuff, filling my items list. I have things like witch's hats, Picard tickets, etc, just taking up space. Would be nice to get rid of them.

[small lava]

Got an idea that Scopely do as a new event; For every minute the game doesn't crash, players get points

[hasty estuary]

No one would ever score.

[hardy citrus]

Since we're getting bigger iso nodes, how about bigger data nodes...?

[ocean hawk]

and may as well throw in TOS khan and make an arc out of it

[hasty estuary]

Could the game play longer than 20 seconds????

Scan - crash, Shoot - crash, mine - crash, chat - crash, Judas Priest don’t sneeze.

[magic smelt]

Here's a suggestion why don't you fix all the bugs we got in this game it's barely worth playing anymore.

[topaz topaz]

Add chronometric particles to every 3*

[vestal furnace]

In Wave Defence: switch the hostile color from red to blue if it is already targeted by another player.

[granite cargo]

And when that player fails to kill the hostile and slips through the cracks because it looks like a player 🤔

[vestal furnace]

It's not intended to prevent players from attacking the same hostile, but rather to help determine which ones have already been targeted.
If the player fails to kill it, it is no longer targeted and should turn red again ...

[turbid heath]

but blue triangles already exist...

aah

I'd say some sort of target selection icon around it would be best, rather than changing colours, but, that comes at the cost of yet-more-data being sent between clients and server

[runic prism]

his actor (Ricardo Montalbán) appeared only in "Space Seed", so crafting arc in this game around only that wouldn't worth it

[turbid heath]

and a whole movie 🤷‍♂️

[vestal furnace]

The icons shouldn't get bigger tho. If they are near the center, they already overlap which makes it hard to select them.
Concerning the data: true. But it is like another "kill" dataset that needs to be sent I guess. Don't know if this is such big of a problem for 5 clients/receivers.

[pastel mulch]

How about a recycle option for credits we can no longer use or the 1000's of ship BP we don't want. Or some way to exchange them for items we need. I can only imagine this would help server strain a bit as far as memory etc etc....

[remote island]

Yeah those 1* interceptor parts 🤣

[pastel mulch]

I didn't say millions or billions now, let's be fair. Lol However, I do think it's odd we get 1* junk killing 3* plus hostiles.🤔

[hardy citrus]

Make the Meridian a ship service and put it in the g1 territories

The Actian buffs could show on the zoomed out system screen. Same for maybe the star that scouts have. Maybe even given Hirogen a star or something else that makes them identifiable while zoomed out...

[ripe tapir]

Hey Scopely, so straight to the point, costs for Crit Dmg Floor Favor need a major reduction asap. Without it maxed, the XNDI loop will never be the “5 minute grind” that you promised. Even with double turn ins of XNDI Scrap, it’ll take months to max, at the current rate we’re getting unc and rare ExBorg creds. And if you’re just doing single pulls, forget about it 😒🤦‍♂️

[hardy citrus]

Speaking of Xindi loop, consider making the Xindi in the 34 systems actually worth just a bit more. For folks in that enter into the g4 realm, the loop is going to take forever to get into, especially before having a g4 faction ship (and metreon warhead)

[orchid willow]

Hey, how about a retro event?

[mortal blaze]

Random idea from me, can you guys make an extra station. With its one building slots etc.

[muted wadi]

please can we have a ship that can carry a crew change to a ship already deployed. and also have the ability to do repairs to ships while deployed. a support ship

[digital marten]

@gusty jasper any chance Chronametric particles can be added to the Meridian refinery pull (The Iso resin one?) it currently only has the core four.

[slim sky]

Make a sound effect for black alert. Minor detail but cool for us fans.

[pulsar hedge]

Xindi is absurd. Even with maxed beam delay, it takes ages to get enough for 1 refine. Why don’t you listen to the players?!

[ocean hawk]

They forcing you to level up. Pain will continue until you get a new ship or get improvements. Focus on freebooters till than.

[random granite]

Fix the out of balance ship power by 20m, reduce player pvp range to 10 levels from 42 on. This is ridiculous. And enforce tos. Too many attention seeking bullys are allowed to do what they want just because they spend a lot.

[random granite]

Because listening to whales who do not think, or have skill, is more profitable in short term. It really is sad, moderate spenders are the ones who will actually carry the game scopely is far too short sided in this idiocy

[royal hazel]

Whenever the system calculates that a battle will be over in less than two rounds, instead of the battle animation, can it show a photon torpedo animation and the hostile exploding?

[radiant bison]

A-Men!!!

[boreal saffron]

Add the section 31 refit for the disco to the section 31 store.
But not just 1 shard / day ...maybe 1 up to 5 pulls. This refit wasnt in any store since more than 1 year, would be also good if it would be added to any eventstore....

[sterile sentinel]

Allow ops 40+ or 50+ players to convert Contraband Chips into 4* or 5* ship parts.
These level brackets of players are so far ahead the only current option of use for the Chips is useless, especially as players can not scrap the Augment ships.

[torpid dune]

@gusty jasper @unreal gust @brittle barn @cold escarp xindi event and commerce is unreasonable for Lower ops thru ops 44/45... please add systems with level 36 & 38 hostiles & survey ships to level up with the player...

[torpid dune]

and work on the PVP bands.. a 63 decimates a 44 makes = 0 sense....

[vital tinsel]

Ftp path to a ferengi whip and other FT. So far, none of the FT shards have appeared in an event store. Or none of the shards have appeared in an sms/slb events. Or with the speculated (eventual) appearance of NX-01, would the inevitable tied in mechanic allow for a path to get FT, somewhat like amalgam (but hopefully less bad) or like Bajoran store (reasonable)?

[ocean minnow]

Psst, you have outgrown the content. You’re allowed to stop doing eclipse stuff now. That’s how you “win” in this game, you get your time back from stupid stuff. 😉😋

[visual musk]

@gusty jasper @cold escarp Re: the new G6 UC ships. I was sooo excited to finally reach OPS 63 and Klingon rep lvl to unlock the new Negh'Va Battleship. And for the cost to get the 150 shards ($$$$, Klingon credits and Lat. - ridiculous). Then to come and find out that out of the box it can't even handle killing a lvl 63 hostile.(explorer) What a bunch of Horse Poo. Matter of fact it could not even take out a lvl 61 hostile (explorer). Something needs to be done to address the poor performance of the new G6 UC ships. They are supposed to be able to help us along our journey....not make us mad!

[formal crown]

25 versus a 39 on newer servers seems totally fair. Scopely is about to lose a whole server of players because of horrible pvp level banding.

[visual musk]

If they want more folks to go G6 they need to make MAJOR changes. As we are passing along the negatives to our alliances as we experience them.

[quartz sonnet]

Option to set miners to auto-recall when they go OPC

[quick mural]

Can you please tell me how Xindi is even possible with only 10 points a kill. Plus all the other stuff to finish? Absolutely ridiculous expectations. Why even bother? Do they want to keep finding ways to drive people out of the game? Or is my group the only one complaining about the useless, unrealistic grind?

[nimble hawk]

Can alliances with 0 members be removed from the alliance view board?

[ocean hawk]

It's a design pain point to force you into another ops and bigger ships. Also at 34 your still in freebooters, which ALL of exborg favors start out with. It does get better.

[timid nimbus]

I demand a battle simulator delivered to my galaxy by close of play today. The ability to test crews against hostiles, armada's and alliance members. If my demands are not met, I shall eat all the apple pie 🥧

Edit : I couldn't wait any longer and ate all the apple pie. Although I now have no bargaining chip, I'd still like a proper battle simulator 👍

[brave bronze]

Sub 40 xindi are considered to be "mission hostiles," and events aren't built with them in mind. They expect you to hit 40+ ones, and to make use of all features available to you. Even then, they are supposed to be hard. Lots of players have found the content too challenging for their level of development, though some of them are engaging in a way that makes it even harder.

[weary badger]

So, the idea is:

less rubbish = more spend = less need to ramp up the cost of completing milestones in events due to sly pressure to sell packs

youre punishing players for YOUR mistakes. I want a whale to, instead of wasting 1k on stfc, pay for a tv advert outing scopely for all this rubbish ... thing is you cant sue some1 for telling the truth ... not in the eu

[trail shuttle]

here is a idea and it needs to happen quickly ... speed up the respawn time of the exchange armadas when ever you have the Apex outlaw events

[kindred portal]

I have 2 suggestions:

1. Armadas give you the ability to lock people in so they are not bumped by stronger ships. How about the ability to lock people out of armadas.
   For example if they bring non Stellas to rare and epic emadas, or your alliance has a rule about announcing 'omw' or something and they never announce, it would be great to be able to lock them out if you don't have enough people to lock in to keep them out.

2. Make it so two people cannot start the same armada. With the ability to speedup armadas comes the ability to steal them from others, Two people spend directives, but the one that uses the speedup and kills it gets the rewards, the other player doesn't get the directives back.

[sterile sentinel]

The Apex events still provide means to get research medals, faction credits & officer badges.

The issue is higher level players r gathering Contraband Chips, which to them is a useless currency now.

I proposed allowing another means to utilize them that actually has benefit to higher level players.

[ocean minnow]

The QUIT joining the slb? Quit shutting out folks who actually NEED the currency? Move past it. I kill transports and burn some TP dust for the blue poker chips (and medals) , but as I have the skin already, and maxed the research tree there NO POINT for me to engage except for a couple here and there to help fleet mates. For ME to join the slb at this point just makes me greedy for no reason. Apex day is a nice break. 😉

[brave bronze]

No breaks, they pair apex with armada SLBs pretty often these days. 😈

[sterile sentinel]

You do realize that the Apex SLB is separated by ops level brackets? We aren't shutting anyone out at my level.
It's for 3k extra research creds at this point. But many players thrive on bragging rights & competition, so they'll join regardless.

Cgratz on maxing your research tree but you're kinda missing the point.
High levels have no good option for using the C. Chips. 'nuff said

[frosty bay]

Suggestion: put options to buy special ship BPs in the store piecemeal. I won't drop $50/$100 on a half/full unlock, but next week I'm going to be at 199/200 on the Monaveen, and I'd be a hell of a lot more tempted to buy a single blueprint at $1/$2 than wait another week.

[thick cosmos]

But you still don’t have to join the apex slb, just do the armadas

[prime elm]

3 suggestions:

1. Put ingame times/dates on messages and battle reports, how many hours ago sth happened is not helping much.

2. Allow people to buy shields from the alliance store in bulk, it is the simplest change you can do.

3. Allow people to skip the boring tutorial like all games do to experienced players that choose to.

[formal basin]

Don’t allow people of different levels to hit other players. Example; if in the 30’s hit only other players PVP or PVE in the 30s.

[slim sky]

Please show the Sarcophagus some love. As one of our alliance crew said just now, it's a one trick pony, and not even good at that trick. It's far too easily taken out, even with the new mitigation research. Please make it a ship to be reckoned with in trt again!

[weary badger]

I thought that if you make an event 'pay to win' it should be tagged with 'heroic' ?
why is the syndicate event not tagged with 'heroic' ? the new years resolution already broken LOL

[brave bronze]

It was updated shortly after launch with the heroic tag. Clear localization if you want to see it.

[upper juniper]

Could territory capture be restricted to one of each quality? That would allow smaller alliances to get one AND would bring much more dynamics in territory capturing because access to territories of higher quality would be more important

[sturdy sedge]

@noble dock @brave bronze @gusty jasper @turbid heath
With this new mechanic for resetting the Territories of origin, pass scores and everything else related to this, I come to bring a case and a suggestion.

Case
Some stronger alliances on different servers have been trying to take the T1 territory and when they start to take another T1 territory, they abandon what they were in and go to another one and so on, disturbing those who need the territories, and forcing all these other smaller alliances to wait 1 week so they can try the territory again, in addition to damaging the points for the battle pass.

Suggestion:
After dominating a territory, set the delay to leave it for 5 hours, the same mechanic that exists today when changing commanders in the command center.

see this example

[outer lion]

Can you put the pay events on a separate tab - that way we won't have to scroll through tem to find the two f2p ones

[wild oracle]

I assume that when the Outlaw faction and associated eclipse armadas were first released, the expectation was that people do them using Outlaw officers. It feels like no one does that today. Those officers are very under-utilized just in general. Maybe the Apex event could be updated to give bonus points for using Outlaw officers. Or perhaps there could be an occasional different event that replaces Apex where scoring ONLY counts for Outlaw officers.

[wild oracle]

Armada Join Option - First Come, First Served
I often like to handle my armada participation as "First-come, first-served". Meaning the first people to arrive will be locked. It would be nice if I could have the armada automatically do this for me so I don't have to watch and manually lock people as they arrive.

[hallow crescent]

Dear Scopely Gods... please fix the Borg binary cutter refit ASAP! Instead of charging to 200% to fire both beams... which takes twice as long and makes it absolutely pointless, you should be able to charge both beams to 100% in the same time it takes to charge 1 beam. This would be an advantage and make the cost of paying you $99 hard earned dollars maybe a little bit more worth it! And while you're making the cube refit pink, make the cutting beams pink as well.

[weary badger]

never take anything scopely sells at face value. still waiting on a mantis comp .. you aint ever seeing a cutter comp

[prime elm]

@gusty jasper Suggestion No.4: Update the battle logs so they show some of the new ways in which battle performance is increased: Forbidden tech, below decks, pvp services, exos etc.

[pastel hemlock]

But Scopley wont do this. They put out a new ship, cash in on everyone buying it then will never touch it again. They look at is as "how will we make money by redoing some Sarco things, if everybody already owns it." Same reason that the shield regen research for the Cerritos will never get fixed, Scopley has moved on because that "cow" has been cashed.

[slim sky]

From a business perspective I get that. you get new business that way. However, you also LOSE THE OLD.

[pastel hemlock]

I wish it wasnt so, but your are correct. If something new comes out that has a flaw in it, and it is not fixed in that same month......forget about it......... because Scopley did.

[slim sky]

Scopely, I would like to note that this is NOT a long term strategy for success 😉

[ocean minnow]

You are correct. And that is part of the plan now. This game is already beyond where they honestly expected, and all investors are clear, now they slaughter the cow.

[pliant igloo]

Make the Territory armadas stronger. 1 Star 50 million, 2 Star 100 million and 3 Star 200 million. Yield more isogen for beating them as well.

[pulsar hedge]

Sort out the Xindi super grind.

[lunar moon]

WHAT ABOUT. hear me out.
we have pacifist/diplomatic mechanics as well--

[random granite]

Fix the ridiculously out of balance pvp and ship power. Noone has paid enough to be over 10 levels from 42 on. Id doesn't cause rages spending, it causes deleting game. If this game goes under you WILL refund ANYONE who has spent, or you will lose this game. Fix it.

[grim marten]

@gusty jasper adjust heavy hitter brackets to voyager warp ranges .. ppl simply cannot compete with people who can fling their voyager further and do massive scores per hit .

[drifting knot]

Scopely is not a NGO. Community wants to kill hostiles faster so he/she/it needs powerful ships and more researches bonus: powerful ships to kill hostiles mean powerful ships floating in the galaxy. Use buff/debuff ship abilities, cloaking ship bonus and below deck abilities

[grim marten]

not an excuse to have a broken pvp system. or can u say with straight face a g3 uncommon ship doing 150 mill crits is balanced in anyway.

[drifting knot]

No, it's not but as Romans said "Dura lex sed lex" I say "Math is math": "increase weapon damage", "increase energy/kinetic damage", "increase critical chance", "increase critical damage", increase damage" to kill hostiles faster mean, for example, a Saladin with 100 million damage points or 150 as you have said.
Scopely does not care about PvP because we are playing only mining and hostile events: yesterday PvE event, today another PvE event, on sunday PvE event, on monday mining event, next week faction event and COW event, Incursion event is not played by players, PvP in Beta Systems is a joke...and players are complaining only about grinding.

It's not balanced but this is the game we have chosen to play: more PvE, no PvP.

[random granite]

Some enjoy pvp, or did before scopely messed it up. A level 62 can hit down to level 40. That is just stupid. 10 levels up and down from 42 on is sufficient and mostly decently competitive with some growing pains. A 56 to a level 46 ship is not ideal but it is substantially better than what they have now. It also minimizes affects of pd hunters and sweepers. Also benefitting the player base.

[atomic parcel]

probably been suggested a million times, but please, for the love of all things holy, add a "manage" button while a ship is mining. having to select another ship then tab over is completely unnecessary

[wide plinth]

Add a reset button when mining to reset on a node. Add crew with enemy ability to fkr so you get attacked when on ship in their territory, guess one crew member per faction. Don’t add new things till you fix all the bugs/issues, getting tired of restarting the game every few minutes.

[halcyon surge]

Please please please expand territory ! Love the new changes but the map needs to be bigger to allow smaller teams and F2P players a chance.

[boreal zealot]

Revive TNG Picard with officer Guinan and an ability for PVP or preferred vs everything. Isolytic damage maybe..

[orchid wren]

Keep both the old and new buffs in the 3* territories, if you activate one it blocks the other. The chronometric particles should be in all the 3* and teams should get to pick which buff they use because some of them aren’t even worth activating

[drifting marten]

Are there going to be any UI changes associated with the armada speedup favor? As it is now it doesn't show the change to the countdown clock and the speedup button doesn't become greyed out, so it seems like nothing happened. Then 30 seconds later the armada just goes off with no visual indicators

[hazy willow]

You know what would be useful?
Repair ships!
Hitting hostiles in deep space? Xindi in general?
How's about between groups of battles... repair, long way from home.

Like in Star Trek Armada 2

[kind mirage]

Can we get a refresh on the recruit options for transporter patterns? Thanks

[vestal mesa]

Put all the officers in the transporter pattern section!!!

[restive tartan]

Would be nice to switch officers when ship is out of the base. Only the officers which are on board.

Other suggestion is to attack a powerful hostile with 2 or 3 own ships. Same like in a solo armada.
This gives low level players a chance to kill bigger hostiles for events.

[marble carbon]

We don't need new stuff right now, what we want is for Scopely to fix lags (past week is horrible especially for waves). And some way to reduce daily grind. It was nice when they added freebooters, but with all new stuff added since that its even worse than before and people start quitting with main reasons being lag, bugs and too much grind.

[quasi robin]

They can, in general, they just have to hit it one after the other. You just want it Armada style?

[finite scroll]

Give a pass to change server even higher level than 6... Because some server are hard to play long term.

[winter dew]

Keyboard shortcuts for navigating some screens on PC could use cleaning up. Especially the Away Teams menu. It'd be great to have a shortcut to target closest hostile.

[restive tartan]

Yes, Armada style. The chance to survive with all 3 ships together is higher.

[vivid slate]

Can we add the ability to modify the Alliance announcements added to the Commodore role?

[queen pelican]

Would be nice

[native iris]

Just an idea but could we make it so players can spend Latinum to get more uncommon materials like gas, crystal and ore? Just seems like the best thing to help spend Latinum when you have reached the point where Latinum is kind of useless due to not having enough materials. Thanks 🙂

[light nymph]

Can we announce the date of incursion when incursion prep events start. Also can we buy shields in bulk. It's been 5 years and it takes forever

[keen flame]

Can we get a larger redemption choice for Latinum in the Foundry? 18k seems on the small side for max redemption

[nocturne lantern]

PLEASE Make the Waves easier for lvl 30+. in our server the big alliances mostly wont allow smaller players to join their waves so they can get higher. I know we suppose to pay and pay and pay but nothing can get smaller players to pass the first wave without the help of stronger players. Otherwise make those wave things restricted to players lvl 39+ not 30+. Be fair!!!!!!!

[quick vale]

suggest everyone to have hamster food delivered to scopely so they can feed the hamster that is powering the servs

[scenic helm]

Suggested Officer:
Traveler Wesley Crusher - Captain Ability: When ship is docked, disseminates ship power equally across all ships not docked. (Would start with 20% of ship power and as you level him up it reaches 100%.)

So, for example, if you have a 1M power ship w/Wesley in the captain's chair and that ship is docked at your base, it would give +200,000 power spread out equally across all ships you don't have docked. The more ships you have docked, the higher the bonus to the ones not docked.

I also think the game should incorporate transporters. Meaning that if you have two ships in the same system, you should be able to transfer officers between the two without having to return to base. Not accessing your roster, just those on the two ships.

[lavish lodge]

facade building should really increase impulse during waves or there should be research / favors for it. at G4 going in with ktinga, you feel like you have to get out and push.

[ionic arrow]

there is a favor for it

[lavish lodge]

in my defense, i haven’t unlocked it yet and therefore haven’t taken notice 😂 Good to know it’s there and i’m just blind as a bat😜

[halcyon surge]

3* Crystal gas and ore refineries are not giving decent returns. I have all three primes and still getting someplace between 0 and 50 uncommon returns. Given the ammount that is needed to upgrade ships, this seems a little low after activating primes. There are also ,any ways to increase mining rate in research but no way to increase yield doing research. Am idea would be to add research to increase output of all refineries.

[reef basin]

So when is the US going to get new servers for the lag?

[reef basin]

It's programmed to hold you back so you will spend.

[brave shuttle]

Maybe a PVP page for wins & losses, a page for winning & losing against the ai & a page for notes? ok, that's 5 pages but it would help me to keep the facts straight. 500 - 1,000 pages each for the 5 issues. Make the packs we can buy available piece by piece so we could only buy what we need vs what yall think we need. Refinery should be opened at a much lower level & the same with the shipyard & scrapyard. Maybe allow us to trade what we don't need for something we do need? Maybe latinum? Make all your ships accessible in a doc 24/7/365. Allow the crews to start the repairs the ships in flight. What are these "Space Lanes" the ships have to follow? Let us input straight from point to point. Give us control over the ships as they fight so they do what we want them to do, when to do it. I can come up with more but this will do for now. 73

[muted mortar]

Please adjust these point values to be at least somewhat reasonable. Milestone costs are absolutely exorbitant with g4 barely being worth more than g3. Values should be adjusted based on player ops level. If a player does not have access to to g5 materials, they should not be on the point scale and g4 and g3 should be scaled up accordingly. Or if it’s easier, lower the milestone requirements.

[night pecan]

Make it when someone gets a chat ban for suggesting players kids should kill themselves, they can't just make a new account and come back and immediately continue to suggest other players and their families would be better off if they killed themselves.

[rich hatch]

"I was referred here by the support team regarding the question, 'When will OPS 40 be unlocked for server 104, because several people have already stopped playing as there was no progression after OPS 39?' To be honest, I am shocked that the only response from support was, 'Check out the Discord page!', which essentially means, 'I don't care about your question!'"

[visual grail]

they dont really care here either... its a nicer way to say " I am closing your ticket without helping you because I can"

[gloomy rover]

im sure its been suggested before but a blueprint exchange system, faction for faction in some ratio non faction for faction in a much broader ratio or equal for non faction in other words the same system you use for officers but for ships

[turbid heath]

Usually it's around 6-8 months after server live

But beyond that we don't know either

[grim marten]

can u guys add a exchange box for xindi parts for trit.. because that is what its basically now ;x

[wild oracle]

As a fellow Orion with pirate experience/background, D'Vanna Tendi should be a synergy officer for Ghrush and Mavery.

[copper scaffold]

can you remove the word "pal" from the filter list in-game? how it even ended up on that is baffling

[slender lance]

i would suggest to go one step further and make the profanity-filter BS optional

[hushed reef]

Would love to see some sort of "local chat" functionality for Wave Defense instances. Kinda annyoing you can't even coordinate with the people you're supposed to work together with.

[ripe tapir]

Hey Scopely, can you just give all t2 TC zones the Monaveen BP service? Only a handful of them don’t have it atm. And all the t3 zones have it now (thx btw, and it was about time lol). Not gonna make any real difference if you just let all the t2 zones have Monaveen service. Thx 🖖

[keen kettle]

Introduce a new server jump key. I’m bored with 168

[quiet kestrel]

(86) It would be great if the territory systems could handle territory captures without lag. We have massive battles on 86 with the 8-10 top alliances flooding systems and the infrastructure just can't take it. We're trying to use the game as designed but it needs a bit of a power boost.

[distant wolf]

Don't try to say you've found a pipe with your pal Walter.

[gentle orchid]

It would be nice to have the trade down feature from ex-borg in other grinds - like trading concentrated lat into raw lat

[violet path]

What happened to the little "+" symbol for redeeming multiphasics?! bring that back please! and add for a couple others too, recruit tokens come to mind.

[rustic panther]

how about adding a ferengi faction store where you can buy stuff for latinum

[lofty burrow]

Someone attacks your ship and warps off. I'm thinking, why not let there be a feature to track the ships warp signature to a min of 2 systems?
Then it can be an upgradeable feature, the higher the upgrade.....

[distant coral]

ATTACKING PLAYERS LEVEL CHANGE:

Maybe set it that players can only attack players that are a maximum of up to 10 levels BELOW them. If a player wants to attack a bigger ship/player then this can have no limit.

I feel this would encourage more PvP and also more players to be out and about. At the moment I think a lot of people are fearful of the top end players.

I’m currently level 43 and I can’t attack players that are lower than 26… Yet there is a player on our server that is level 67 that has a 7 BILLION ship that CAN attack my 22m ship. It’s ridiculous

[jade fractal]

EPIC TRIP TUCKER - NX-01

I do not understand why you have made Trip's bonuses related to Hirogen and Species 8472, as far as I am aware in the Enterprise series, neither species were featured?

Surely given that the new Xindi were heavily featured, Trip's abilities should be Xindi bonus related instead?

[wide spoke]

Require Devs to test new functions on a standard iPad … not a super sized PC
Let them experience Screen Freeze, lag, game reset every 2 min

[pure wind]

Gives us an option to switch all new content off, removing the system off the Galaxy Map aswell :

Crap Graphics ✅
Waves ❌
Monaveen ❌
Voyager. ❌
Territories ❌
Xindi. ❌

Maybe the game will work again on phones with 2 Gigs of memory ?

SCOPELY : No way, do you know how long it takes to programme bugs 😂 besides we don’t know how to decompile 😝!

Ok 😭 Why not list all the devices you will still support then ?

SCOPELY : No way 😄 We need you cannon fodder, won’t pay, freeloaders to fill the books and prove we are still a viable company and therefore retain our jobs 💋

🥹 please just fix the game then … ?

SCOPELY : (with head in the sand) LA LA LA , can’t hear what you are saying LA LA LA … 😜

[copper grotto]

A Bonus ship parts refinery once a month would be nice.

[cold fog]

Probes that you send to deep space that allow you to view what's in that area.

[sage rock]

close scopidie

[magic hill]

Why don't you try customer satisfaction - maybe you can earn money with it.

[candid nymph]

Give us an option to mark players as personal enemies, not just alliances... I have no beef with the alliance, just this one player... nice big purple target symbol would be nice, thanks

[native oracle]

Putting 61+ into their own SLB is common sense, when is this happening? You updated scores for G6 how is this not part of that

[nocturne pagoda]

A confirmation box when upgrading ops. So players are less likely to accidentally upgrade ops.

[halcyon surge]

Please remove the chest and kill caps . Especially since we have to kill 1000's of ships a day to be competitive in many of these events.

[hot topaz]

would we add the ability to abandon a mission? pleaseeeee

[fiery moon]

can scopley do a south park star trek arc as their are things in south park that are star trek related hahaha would be fun having cartman as kirk and kenny as spock etc

[finite briar]

@gusty jasper when monaven and cube will be on Crucible Of War for points for killing hostiles.

[jovial kiln]

lets update the events so they are scaled properly and reward appropriately

[drifting marten]

Will there be an update to CoW to add monaveen and Borg cube to the scoring? Don't know if it's an oversight or design choice

[uncut wadi]

No doubt visited many times before but… lag on EU servers this week.. so Scopely add more “servers” so assuming this means capacity. Why not just do that for good and allow people to play the game without constant bugs, constant crashing etc… despite having all the “system requirements” this happens ALL of the time… 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[timid nimbus]

Maybe make the "bonus refinery"....good? 500 at a time instead of around 50. Let's stop the drip feeding and turn parts of the game into something worthwhile.

[eternal galleon]

As you well know, higher-level ships require much more dilithium to repair. Please increase the amount of dilithium available in the Elite Daily Reward packs please!!!!!!!

[queen pelican]

dilithium will be the least of your worries when it comes to repairs
