@little dirge @nocturne lantern @ornate nymph Absolutely agree. It's robbery. They should give a massive loyalty pack to those of us who had to mine for weeks or pay hundreds of dollars to upgrade these components which certainlywon't protect you from base raids when the shield glitches and other glitches were rampantly being used against players.

little dirge Feb 10, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

Yes, it is a robbing, the way rss production on base works is also a joke

#

I know they have to get their money, and none of us would be complaining if the p2w player gets faster lvl up and can buy more things with little to no farming, but if they do not Adress the on game economy every server will die, hence most of us upgrade the buildings by stealing

#

Mining is a joke, and it makes even no difference if you have a full miner build, each level is getting crazier and crazier, and the lower player base and f2p player are poor and have learned to not have excess rss

#

And the few people that buy a pack nowadays, get raided within a few hours/days, this is not sustainable!!!!

ocean wadi Feb 10, 2019, 7:26 PM

#

I've seen four pay players leave our server alone this week and several more F2P's give up. The mechanics and requirements are so broken that you cannot mine, refine, pay or play your way to a reasonably high level

#

This has got to get fixed and some recompense given otherwise this game is going to die a quick death.

potent pier Feb 10, 2019, 7:56 PM

#

There’s got to be a better way to upgrade ships. This rare materials that never get refined or found and these uncommmon rates are pathetic. Even paying for it you’re going to spend 300 to tier one ship. Where the heck is that fair?

#

@ocean wadi wholeheartedly agree

verbal gulch Feb 10, 2019, 8:01 PM

#

a better attack warning system, why is not the same one used when you enter a hostile territory? , it would be more advantageous for us when we are mining. @nocturne lantern

gray lichen Feb 10, 2019, 8:09 PM

Heres a idea for game. Sack the shitty developers and some non retarded people to run the game.

@nocturne lantern @ornate nymph

Create a account on your game right now as it sits right now and see from the players eyes not looking at logs or communitive data. Your player base are speaking to you and you ignore them completely And you can identify all the bugs that we see. Play as a player.
Don't keep making new ships and events that are for profit its getting very touchy
FIx bugs before you create more bugs like adding ships and new feature every 2 weeks. Focus on what you have NOW before adding content
Developed a beta tester team from the community + developers PM me on this one. I am not talking about Youtubers with special drives with a level 9 ship in a level 1 system to a level 1 system .
Have a Text environment with new features before a release. Like a BETA test Mega Sever
I am sure people in this community have a some coding experience with games and I have a technical background
Redesign Bases and PVP systems.

undone viper Feb 10, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

Give faction loyalty crates the same 22 hour cooldown as the 24 hour gift. Same issue of getting it later and later exists.

copper brook Feb 10, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

Balance the economy. I have no way to collect and protect the amount of rss I need for basic leveling of station

fierce inlet Feb 10, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

ability to buy relocation tokens with rss or latinum

tawdry tiger Feb 10, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

This game is becoming more ridiculous, economy is terrible, ship upgrade rss requirements are insane! I need 300k trit to upgrade my kehra and my max capacity is 120k trit. That is just for tier 1, that is very dumb..... I support reducing the g3 requirements which was much needed. And I applaud scopely for doing that but 3x increase in Tritium was a very dumb move.

#

Heck, I’d suggest you let some of us take a look at the codes and make suggestions to correct it. I don’t think the previous devs developed the codes in a way that is in a section of its own to iron out bugs and modifying the ship/building resource requirements

dim charm Feb 10, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

Create a new PvE-only server with no offers but $4.99/monthly subscription. Have 3 systems, one in each faction space, for PvP events.

#

Add Hostile bases for raiding for individuals. Add Alliance-Level systems instances for raiding too .

I have 3 ECS Fortunates I don't need. There should be some way to scrap extra shops for scrap.

#

Private alliance rooms or alliance rank based chat so you can set a further path and discuss with the leader and captains.

rancid creek Feb 10, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

I’d like some kind of trading economy for lower level resources... especially ship parts. Like if I need 10 2* parts for an upgrade, I could use 100 1* parts as an offset to spending latinum. Or perhaps a trading system within alliances so I could give my lower level parts to newer players in my alliance.

muted ether Feb 10, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

How about giving us all a free vahkless or kumari for all this crap you’ve done

uneven obsidian Feb 10, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

If you're going to make this a pay to play at least let us purchase the resources needed not your packages that only help with one or two builds. Increase mining nodes and reduce resources needed for builds and research. Reduce the time it takes in-between refining come on 10hrs to get a few scraps of materials.

muted ether Feb 10, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

Reduce the amount of unrefined to get parts

uneven obsidian Feb 10, 2019, 9:53 PM

Speed up mining 4 to 9hours to mine a third of what you need is ridiculous

working chat would. e nice

sharp mural Feb 10, 2019, 10:03 PM

#

Agreed, 10 hours for a few bits is nonsense. There shouldn’t even be a timer. We already have to farm the raw materials, we should be able to roll the dice as soon as we have enough. Im literally stuck at 19 because for the last week iv had no luck in the refinery. 120/300 needed for a building upgrade thats needed for any further building upgrades. At this rate it will be 1-2weeks before i can start to build anything else.

uneven obsidian Feb 10, 2019, 10:07 PM

Stop screwing the servers over on those who have a negative feedback. Seems like Everytime I have a negative suggestion I get server issues.

I think greed is having a negative effect on the game lol

sharp mural Feb 10, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

From player end, it would be nice to see the status of alliance members, like when was the last time they logged in. If someone quits and doesn’t say anything they are just taking up space until someone notices which could be forever.

copper brook Feb 10, 2019, 10:11 PM

Yeah last logged in would be nice

@nocturne lantern can we have an open Mic with devs or live stream to talk directly to them?

#

Ideas and suggestions forum is only so they can make the appearance of your input which will result in nothing being done about your issues in the game. Unless you're one of the rich pay to play players.

copper brook Feb 10, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

Even then, they also for screwed with last update

uneven obsidian Feb 10, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

Yep lol 😂 agree I do

#

That's why only the 3* ships were affected and nothing below it was making the pay to play peeps in power farming average players out of the game do not see this game lasting long in it's current state losing potential pay to play people is not good for business in my opinion. But hey could be wrong.

#

Not that this would happing but wonder if all the pay to play people stopped making purchases if scopley would listen then.

copper brook Feb 10, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

I would love if everyone stopped buying stuff even if only for one day

#

The refund dent made them roll back pretty quick

winged maple Feb 11, 2019, 2:05 AM

#

Can you make a "last active" feature which shows people in an alliance when other members were last online? There are people who logon once a week and it would be helpful to know about that before accidentally booting them out for supposed inactivity.

Of course it would also help if you would delete accounts of inactive players so that their bases don't just sit there

graceful snow Feb 11, 2019, 2:16 AM

#

@copper brook no joke on the economy bit. It costs me 820k Trit to upgrade 1 photon torpedo battery on a Tier 3 Kehra. I can hold 175k so that means I would have to mine 645k Trit. Which at 2.6k an hour, would take me 248 hours (not counting the time it takes to recall and resend the ship out to mine)

#

the 175k is my base holding

midnight igloo Feb 11, 2019, 2:22 AM

#

@copper brook What I'm pissed about is how long it takes to even get refined materials. I've been refining my ore for a month and can't get past lvl 19. Spending shouldn't be a main option in a game like this. I got further on timelines spending much less. I shouldn't have to spend thousands just to be able to compete in a game that should be fun and spend days and days mining and be vulnerable to losing everything and running in place. Economy is horrible and you're eliminating the average player from having a chance at advancing period.

nocturne lantern Feb 11, 2019, 2:24 AM

#

@compact talon on pur Server u better use fortunates whole sever is on war. We fight against a big alli of whale gankers. 17 allis are constantly raiding and crushing each single mining ship 😄 when you have repaired your envoy 6 times a day, u will be happy to have some fortunates

graceful snow Feb 11, 2019, 2:25 AM

#

@midnight igloo yeah the refining is pretty rough. I personally would like to see the uncommon and rare drops increase. I have been refining at lv 20-21, doing them every 10 hours and I have yet to see an uncommon or rare 3*. It has completely shut down my upgrading and I am pretty far behind in terms of being competitive

midnight igloo Feb 11, 2019, 2:31 AM

#

@graceful snow What kills me is that there's NO way I should be stuck at a major level when I've upgraded everything over 30 days and am still 200 ore behind.

graceful snow Feb 11, 2019, 2:31 AM

#

I agree

#

progression is seriously hampered. I am literally relying on the mini events we get and am focusing on the ones that pay uncommon crystals

compact talon Feb 11, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

@nocturne lantern that sounds like hell

midnight igloo Feb 11, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

The gifts and drops are pathetic. Wtf am I gonna do with a "gift" of 50 dilithium? That's useless. Parsteel is useless. Getting millions of ship parts and not being able to build is useless. Having 10 beginner level ships as backup is useless. It coats me 21k experience to upgrade Scotty to lvl 20

graceful snow Feb 11, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

lol I am lv 21 and I am still getting 2* ship parts

#

now if there was a way to convert 1* to 2* and 2* to 3*, that would be fine

#

same with the refines

midnight igloo Feb 11, 2019, 2:35 AM

#

Or scrap your old ships and get latinum or resources for them.

kindred falcon Feb 11, 2019, 2:35 AM

#

Y'all get out of here with your sensible ideas

graceful snow Feb 11, 2019, 2:35 AM

#

I think everyone would be happy with being able to convert excess mats into a higher grade

midnight igloo Feb 11, 2019, 2:38 AM

#

No kidding. That or repurpose old ships into new ship resources. Recycle ships. Upgrading ships as it is is difficult as hell.

graceful snow Feb 11, 2019, 2:47 AM

#

Here is the bit that seriously has me upset with Scopely. The highest ship upgrade pack I can get ($100) will only upgrade ONE photon torpedo slot on a tier 4 Kehra. The pack gives you 80 uncommon crystals and it costs you 70 of those to upgrade that one part.

#

the way the math works out on it, I would have to drop $300 to upgrade the Kehra's parts in order to tier it up. And after that it will cost more because everything will be more expensive

#

that is just down right robbery

fervent cliff Feb 11, 2019, 3:02 AM

#

here's an idea, make it possible to abort warp and stop in the next system whatever it is. too many times I've recalled instead of locating or sent a wrong ship to a mission or to mine. Not fun to have to wait 4 mins for the ship to arrive and then 4 more minutes to send it back

copper brook Feb 11, 2019, 3:11 AM

#

@midnight igloo yeah I stored up uncommon as soon as I got it from refinery. I only used on buildings or research to level up OP. cracked 20 but idk the point of going high if it's such an unbalanced grind fest

#

@graceful snow yeah based on the $25 pack, I'd have to spend $175 to to finish all the parts of the Nerf ship (aka Kehra)

pseudo halo Feb 11, 2019, 3:21 AM

There should be a way to reduce refinery cooldown. 10 hours is way too much.

I'm surprised there isn't a Prime research for that yet. Heck there's nothing in the regular stuff

gentle flame Feb 11, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

or no cooldown at all reduce mats needed reconfugire the ratios

#

on the refinery

sudden gulch Feb 11, 2019, 4:51 AM

#

or better, allow us to refine from common to uncommon, etc

graceful snow Feb 11, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

or convert 2* mats for 3*. It could even be 100 to 1 ratio and it would be infintely better than what we have now

waxen thorn Feb 11, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

purchased materials should come in crates that can not be lootable until you open them. Refinery is still not consistent and is a RNG nightmare. the new parasteel trade : Trade 100 parasteel give you 100 parasteel and has almost a 10 day cool down. What is the point?

late thicket Feb 11, 2019, 5:11 AM

I'm thinking Scopely needs to make this payable now, or refund everything to everyone.

quartz breach Feb 11, 2019, 7:03 AM

#

I know it's obviously not the design concept in play, but you could consider taking the approach of MMO games like EQ snd WoW by having servers where PvP is either zone-, area-, player-, or server- specific instead of the 'wallet warrior' spectacle that is our current server. One can opt to grow very slowly in the hopes that players with 'too high ship and tech access' wont be whacking their ships and bases continually, but its just not working out for players who arent loading up credit cards and spending all day with their phone bleeping off constantly. Go ahead and run some experiments with an unbiased team of testers -- I'm quite confident they will express similar concerns.

If, on the other hand, the goal of Scopely is a game where folks that funnel money in perpetually are the only ones playing, then change nothing and prep for some layoffs in your ranks because a player base that shrinks too quickly becomes boring fast for everyone. The goal of a successful MMO needs to be community first and fun not far behind that. Overly volatile and unwanted player interactions, combined with days of downtime on bases stripped (raped) of their resources... is simply too painful for most.

I don't want to come off as overly negative here, there is plenty I cherish about STFO, but even as a die hard fan of both the game and the franchise I find myself already considering moving on even though i only began two months ago... Scopely cannot profit ftom a game too few are paying for due to a lack of fun. Games are supposed to take our minds off of work, not be work themselves.

An idea would be to devote more processing power to the systems that are so badly optimized they bring down the rest of your systems.

icy rock Feb 11, 2019, 7:56 AM

#

Please provide an official list of known issues.

Half of the officer abilities still don't work (while you have special offers for officer packs!), and it's annoying having to sift through combat logs to find out which ones actually do something.

It would only be fair to know about the state of bugs before spending money on this game.

@nocturne lantern @JB.Scopely. Hear is an idea, instead of working on new featurs/content which are great. Fix the current list of bugs first get the game to an unbroken state. Fix the missions so that missions because something they you want to do because you gain something, instead of being something you loose out on massively because they want silly amount of resources that are already scarse enough. Boost resource production and lower upgrade requirements, seriously millions of Dilithium to upgrade the vault to protect next to nothing? Again massive expense for no real gain.

I suggest allowing players to save officer teams to put on ships. If you give a few slots I can save them as my main pvp officer team, my hostile, etc. this would make players lives so much easier instead of us clicking to find one officer in a group

Narrowing the level range you can attack, but allowing anyone below that range to be ejected from a mining point would reduce a lot of the frustration and prevent low levels from clogging up high level mining zones.

@nocturne lantern More dilt drop. Mining 5k dilt takes over 16 hours. Harvesting NPC drops maybe I can break even for the damage to the ship. Missions have good drops but missions are limited in number. Stealing from a base might break even with the damage to the ships. It’s very difficult to get over the storage amount and a bottleneck

I would love to see space anomalies in game, which you can actually target with an explorer vessel and research. Instead of a battle resume, you would get an event screen on the things that happened. It could have been a strange phenomenon (like Q contact or a subspace fissure, temporal anomaly, spatial rift, etc. ) , which challenged your crew and levels them up. Or some upgrade to the ship systems your crew developed to counter measure. I want to see real Star Trek, not only space wars and piracy.

We should be able to give blueprints to eachother inside our alliances.

timber moat Feb 11, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

Docking at alliance Station for repairs. Of course with higher price than in your own Station. Alliance Station could even get some of the ressources it costs to repair your ship

nocturne lantern Feb 11, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

Scanning should require a ship in the system- no long range stuff. Also should show up on battle log

timber moat Feb 11, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

Yeah, scanning freight should only be possible from within the system

late thicket Feb 11, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

Well that stinks, they need to get a grip of the hackers that destroy their ability to communicate.

timber moat Feb 11, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

Would be good to set non aggressive pacts officially in game so you cannot attack players within the ally's NAP, similar to not being able to attack ally members

lean venture Feb 11, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

Hello it would be nice to be able to transfer cargo between ships

#

Hello the ability to make your alliance invite only

jolly island Feb 11, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

Stop making refining based on “chance” make it by refining tiers. Example... 1000 g3 raw yields you 100 common.... then the 100 common yields you 10 uncommon... then 10 uncommon yields you 1 rare. Give set refining times for each tier that you can use speed ups or latinum to speed up the refining process . Gives more flexibility in refining. What we need and you will still get money based on people speeding up the refining process.

thorn beacon Feb 11, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

Would be nice to be able to transfer resources to other alliance members bases when they are in need.

jolly island Feb 11, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

Also revise the packs . Why the am spending $100 and literally half the resources (g2) I cant use. Make the packs material level specific and price accordingly.

@nocturne lantern Suggestion: I don’t know if this is technically feasible (and I’m suggesting it should be either way), but a 2-3 hour moratorium on starbase raids should be put in place after every maintenance. Your team’s estimates are just that—estimates. From my experience the servers have gone live before the scheduled maintenance period ends, which is great and all in theory but gives significant and potentially fatal leverage to players that happen to go back in before the majority game population does. That leaves players that are waiting for the official maintenance end time, vulnerable to attack. And I would argue that there are a great deal many cases that players don’t know maintenance is happening (too late or at all) and don’t have the opportunity to bubble and protect themselves. This happened to me, a few maintenance cycles ago, where I set an alarm for when the maintenance period ended and logged in only to see my entire base wiped of its resources because other players logged in before the maintenance period ended, were let in, and began raiding vulnerable players. And speaking to another use case, because only a fraction of the game population follows the discourse that happens here in Discord or Facebook, etc. that puts the majority game population at a significant disadvantage that can lead to all of their progress being erased simply because they didn’t log in at some arbitrary time that the servers go live again. Please consider a time-based moratorium on base attacks for the above reasons. Thank you

nocturne lantern Feb 11, 2019, 4:06 PM

#

@jolly island I like that idea on refining where you get common from raw, etc. I'll add to that on refining that the cap of 12K should also advance in the same way, or the cooldown of the refinery should decrease with that.

latent pike Feb 11, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

Idea to think about make a market that's not built around being level 50 any other game like this you can send and trade at lower levels

drowsy girder Feb 11, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

@nocturne lantern @marsh sundial Just got an attack notification.. even though were supposed to be in Maintenance.

marsh sundial Feb 11, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

My point exactly.

worthy garnet Feb 11, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

I dont know if it has been mentioned before, but something I would find very handy that shouldn't be a hard feature to add would be an ability to see who in your alliance is online at any given time. Also an ability for an admiral to set up communique groups so that for instance they can send a message out to all their Commodores at once. Some messages I dont send out to my entire alliance, and it takes valuable time to copy and paste a message to five people in a battle situation.
Thanks for your time whoever reads this.

late thicket Feb 11, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

@worthy garnet bad idea for alliance members to snitch your station out to others if you're offline and unguarded. Cant trust everyone. Although some form of activity should be displayed that doesnt compromise your station.

gentle flame Feb 11, 2019, 5:03 PM

#

@lean venture you can do that now by making it private alliance invite only

random estuary Feb 11, 2019, 5:04 PM

@nocturne lantern Can we have a sheild button on the main display? like default to the lowest sheild availible? PLEASE

austere sable Feb 11, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

An alliance information storage site and bulletin board for announcements in the alliance section where we do donations only readable by alliance members

finite pilot Feb 11, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

perhaps old idea but simply ... when clickin on you ship you get options menu also displaying cargo level as it is now. My idea is why not add colourzones for safe cargo when mining so you see directly how close you are , it could be green while safe, yellow when over the protected and red when above 90 % small perhaps but helpful I think.

stark nymph Feb 11, 2019, 6:24 PM

Please let me use the Docks from the Bases of my Alliance. This could be very usefull to repair my ship intantly and i be able to fight longer ....

You should make it so that level 20 and above can only attack level 20 and above ships and bases

tawny isle Feb 11, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

@nocturne lantern you all need to do something about the refining... or keep lowering the requirements for uncommon and rare for ships, research etc! This mess is ridiculous.

ruby plume Feb 11, 2019, 8:13 PM

#

I have an idea and maybe a suggestion for an Ally. It would be nice when you makes an update where we can handle allies and none attacking pacts with the features of other color and no friendly fire support. Our Ally is growing and we have atm more than 5 Allies and it is difficult to handle atm. only over Line and Discord, but not all on those plattforms.... so it would be more interessting for all of us I think 😃

polar laurel Feb 11, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

@nocturne lantern You mentioned that you were looking at adding a few Discord channels, specifically one for officer discussions. Any update?

regal hill Feb 11, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

Suggestion to add ability to set some alliance to hostile and some to friendly:
Hostile alliance or person will be represented by orange color and friendly as grey for example.
Standings can be apply to alliance and/or single person as wel

I just watched his level 21 through 25 went through and wipe the resources the bases that were level 17 through 24 unless you're going to start giving away more Shields more frequently you really need to stop players at a level 20 and above from attacking other players below that level including their bases I was lucky and saw them coming put up a shield if they had hit me and wipe me out after all the time I put into it simply because I was in a high enough level to fight them off I would quit this game and not play again

sonic vessel Feb 11, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

Then this game is not for you @native abyss

native abyss Feb 11, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

I'm a 17 It takes too long to build a base and ships. Just I have been wiped out by somebody who spend a lot of money or been playing longer than I have enter at a level at which I can't defend just like you can attack anybody space below 14 it says player level too low I can't attack a player who's a 25 because it says their level is too high. Besides this is the ideas and suggestions chat room...

sonic vessel Feb 11, 2019, 9:26 PM

#

So your idea is to only let players above level 20 attack level 20+ players?

fluid onyx Feb 11, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

Please stop giving me just 1k parsteel in my 4hr chest it's getting old. Atleast give me more then one reward

native abyss Feb 11, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

That's correct only player versus player level 20 and up they can attack all the Reds they want

solemn sleet Feb 11, 2019, 10:18 PM

Why aren’t ships tiered up in the shipyard? Seems silly to block a dock for what could be days for Tiering up a ship. Please consider using shipyard for this. God knows we have enough ships laying around and can use them at least during tier up

nocturne lantern Feb 11, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

... kinda like there's only 1 maintenance crew on the whole station to repair a ship even though you have multiple docks lol

How about fixing gameplay before you add new stuff to the game. It would be just like new content since it would work

stuck ridge Feb 12, 2019, 12:22 AM

#

make a big borg cube in some random star system and the whole galaxy must attack it for score points as an alliance event. the more damage you score the more points your alliance gains. and of course the cube slowly regenerates to continue the battles

dull shuttle Feb 12, 2019, 12:25 AM

#

we would need trit, etc. for the repair bills though

lean kindle Feb 12, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

There needs to be a limitation on low level players mining g3 nodes. I suggest that when a level 9 start mining a node in a level 24 system, that player become attackable as if he were level 24. That would put a limit on that nonsense.

#

He shouldn't get any buffs, he should fight as a level 9, just be attackable.

nocturne lantern Feb 12, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

Idea and suggestion that there needs to be a "Last online" timer on the Alliance members list, possibly only visible internally to that alliance's members (would make inactive cleanup easier)

umbral needle Feb 12, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

I'd like to see an auto-recall for a miner whos node hits 0

copper brook Feb 12, 2019, 1:08 AM

#

Auto mining like Black desert on line or bust

umbral needle Feb 12, 2019, 1:09 AM

#

I think when a base is defeated it should disappear until the owner comes back online. When he does, he has to choose where to rebuild it.This would allow people to clear inactives out of a system to put their own alliances bases in.

copper brook Feb 12, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

Thatd be cool

dim charm Feb 12, 2019, 2:58 AM

#

I agree. If the Shipyard is used to build a ship, why not have a ship Tier’d up there instead of the dock? While Tiering up you shouldn’t be able to build a new ship. Also why is the crew stuck inside the ship? They should be reassignable.

late thicket Feb 12, 2019, 3:14 AM

#

@dim charm just empty the ship of officers before you begin tiering up.

dim charm Feb 12, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

Good idea, but my dock is unavailable. @late thicket . Until there is some kind of Crew assignment dropdown/selector that allows me to remember my crew I have to remember what my crew assignment. Bug agreed, that is a work-a-around.

late thicket Feb 12, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

You mean you dont know what your crew manifests are?

#

You can swap officers out on ships that are tiering up, or at least you used to be able to. Never had a problem but it resets the tiering up in appearance but an app reset fixes that

buoyant aurora Feb 12, 2019, 10:40 AM

Hello, why not make a shield for the ships that farme, an example I send a vessel farmer on a spot I would have the right to put a shield of a maximum of time of 1 hour after which it is or I stay at risk of being attacked, or not, or I come back to reload this shield, what do you say?

nocturne lantern Feb 12, 2019, 11:02 AM

#

For the love of all that is noodles....
A simple ‘ this node is now occupied: Attack yes/no?

#

Stop those remote long range node lazily ass targeters

buoyant aurora Feb 12, 2019, 11:07 AM

but when you are continually attacked and can not farm, do you want to keep playing?

craggy gazelle Feb 12, 2019, 11:25 AM

#

Howdy, would be great do add some knowledgebase in the game. Such thing as locations of what's where within explored space. Every player has a super AI so it should be well within story bounds.

austere sable Feb 12, 2019, 11:34 AM

#

This goes back to what i was saying about an info board for each alliance @craggy gazelle

craggy gazelle Feb 12, 2019, 11:37 AM

#

@austere sable: ~~How do I find what you were saying?~~
That covers only manual entries I suppose. My idea should be entirely automatic. For example. Ship enters system, makes a scan and that scan goes to the knowledgebase and stays same unless updated by next time entering the system, possibly shared through alliance.

full lagoon Feb 12, 2019, 11:57 AM

#

when all your ships are busy (like one is mining and another one is being repaired), you cant have a look at their caracteristcs (for instance you cant check the amount of protected cargo)

hoary kindle Feb 12, 2019, 12:42 PM

@late thicket since the last client update i havent been able to put a tiering up ship in the background anymore.

#

Also since then everytime i check chat, chests, or anything off the screen i am in when i go back it is either zoomed all the way in or all the way out. Wish it would just stay how it was set when i left the screen....whats up with that scopely??

manic cove Feb 12, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

Can you increase the amount of resources the base produces. The issue is the amount of resources needed to level up will soon lead to the need to base raid? Its becoming a issue now that bases are being raised for resources as to produce and mine the amounts needed would take weeks. If people keep getting raided, people will leave the game

mild void Feb 12, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

It would be a great addition if you made blueprints easier to find. It makes little sense to get the fortunate prints at lvl 19. Let us us absorb the old ships for prints and parts, showing a more “green” attitude.

austere sable Feb 12, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

Either system would be a step in the right direction , and would serve to simplify the ease of finding info which would only be found by chance by trawlng through different websites in google search result.. @craggy gazelle

hoary kindle Feb 12, 2019, 5:15 PM

#

@Q2 would it be possible to exchange in 1 and 2 star explorer, battleship, interceptor, etc...parts once the ships are fully leveled and tiered up. Maybe a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio trade in for higher level parts of the same type? Something i think all players would be interested in.

nocturne lantern Feb 12, 2019, 5:20 PM

#

@polar laurel Not today. Very soon though, we want to make a few changes.

spare solstice Feb 12, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

As a f2p player, what has me on the edge of giving up (I am level 22) is the uncommon drop rates. By my calculations it might take me months longer to tier up my Jelly (level 30 at present, 37K). Been at it for a month now, refining daily. There is basically no hope of competing with p2p players ever. It would be a lot more fun if I could take say 3 times as long to get there. But having the refine drop rates change weekly is soul destroying.

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> What about our server?

Do we need a lawyer or something like that?

@nocturne lantern what you say about it?

It's kind of a struggle here

#

Is that scopely plan to all servers?

#

You guys are getting mails, but looks like the time to put it out loud

I am not sure what you mean @nocturne lantern

#

I can explain

#

First of all: how can I tell you which one is my server?

Oh, no. I can find your region and if you are on a "founder" server.

#

So, you can tell me as in "right now" where am I from and my server?

How about naming your ships? Would be cool to give it a name

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> @nocturne lantern
Dear Scopely Developers,
My server population is stagnant, and there are no new players joining it. I am playing on a “pre-launch” server that opened in the beginning of November 2018, and any new players that join the game are sent to “new” servers, not ours. This has resulted in the sever slowly dying more and more each day due to lack of players. Every single alliance on our server has vacancies due to their not being enough people to fill them. We have made accounts on “new” servers, and all housing systems are filled to capacity, whereas ours are empty.

More players are quitting the game every day because of these population issues, and you are losing revenue. Players who have invested hundreds/thousands of dollars in your game in order to support you are quitting because they cannot progress on a dead server.

There are three different ways you can fix this problem:

Merge our server with another server
Open our server to new players
Allow us to transfer ourselves and our alliances to another server

PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEADIATELY, OR WE WILL BE TAKING THIS STORY TO THE MEDIA SO THE PUBLIC WILL KNOW HOW YOU TREAT YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS

nocturne lantern Feb 12, 2019, 6:15 PM

The next step they are planning are mergers. However, this will not be immediate and I do not have a time frame.
All of the ideas you suggested have been considered, and none are totally of the table, but it look like merging will be the first option to come. Again I do not have any time frame.

My server is super quiet to - so I do get it. Though it may help when mining all that sweet and increasingly valuable tritanium.

Need to be a way to weed out inactive players. If a base is detstroyed, it disappears. When the player logs back i n, he is given the option where to 'rebuild' it. If it stays gone a week, the player is removed from the server and placed on a special server for inactive players. If he ever logs back in, he is allowed to rebuild his station and is then placed back in a normal server

nocturne lantern Feb 12, 2019, 8:02 PM

Combat balancing suggestion
Instead of player level attackable range, perhaps do power range, maybe a %, of the attacking ship. Like a 10k power ship can attack 3% +/-, so that gives him a range of attacking ships from 7k to 13k. Instead of someone attacking a ship with 10x or more power.

@viral glen but.. that lvl 30 flying in a 2k realta is now open to level 10 attacks 😂

Still, should be a combo of level range with a power % range

#

@nocturne lantern a lvl 30 player will not have a 2k realta

more in the range of 13k i believe

@nocturne lantern I'm from the same server that @nocturne lantern And @fiery gyro. We can no longer deny this situation continues on our server. We invest time and money in the game to simply be abandoned by you. That's a disrespect to the player. We have alliances that do not have one single active player and do not leave the top 10. We have no expectation of growing any of our alliances, and every day that passes the situation worsens increasingly. While I see players complaining of excessive slowdowns of players, we are here, forgotten. You guys were nominated for a prize? Don't forget the players who bet on you first.

I would like to suggest the Officer assignments could be tied to ship, so if I switch a dock between different ship types the Officers would also change. Also I would like to be able to save several crew complements so o could have like one for Hostiles, one for players, and one when on guard duty at station, or for a miner, different configurations based on material I am going after.

copper brook Feb 13, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

@nocturne lantern since money is a huge deal for these dudes, I'd say implementing more money making things that don't blow up the economy or make crazy powerful whales would be nice. Like:

Customization and add on features (like custom icon, colors for UI, ship decals, special effects, sound effects for battle, station model (star fleet, Klingon, romulan) etc)
peripherals to help with the game Like a shield button similar to the Pokemon go button thing. If you're shield goes down, press the button to apply X hour shield, if you get attacked it would flash red and you hit the button to shield up

#

@nocturne lantern ooh what about auto miners that you could build that do like super slow work, can't be blown up, but help build you rss over time albeit slowly. So like 10 *3 mining resource an hour or 100 parasteel/Tritanium an hour. And you could build more the higher level you are to help increase the passive growth

Although I’m a huge Star Trek fan I am so disillusioned by how bad you have made some of these missions I’m lvl19 with a 31k jelly and you have made the missions a joke how do you expect me to kill anything over 37k no you give bosses that are over 50k , levelling up a ship is so far out of reach unless you spend money and still don’t get enough uncommon stuff to actually do it, you need to lower the missions and lower the items needed to upgrade ships

high lark Feb 13, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

Please work on attack levels! Player should not be able to attack lower level players. Or at least -1. Right now whole game is about farming lower levels and sit behind shields when higher levels come. Even alliance doesn't help, if the difference in levels +8. Attacker has ships with 300k+ strength. Maximum ours is two of 80k. That huge difference makes our ships useless in any amounts for protecting other members. Our ships are like XP training ships for the attacker. One single player can destroy entire alliance without loosing any ship at all!

#

At least team can keep it +/- 3 lvls

copper brook Feb 13, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

i mean that doesn't really help when whales are included in that. and example was when I was level 14 there was a dude with a 44k Jelly level 14, where my ships were maybe 5k

#

I honestly think it will never be fully balanced unless they go scaling power level +/-

#

so like, lower levels is +/- 500 power, at level 20, maybe it's like +/- 5k or something, but shrug probably wont happen

#

Not to mention Base hitting. my current base defenses almost being maxed out aren't even close to the same range of 1 ship of the 28-30s out there. So they can crack my base with one ship, then milk me for everything I've got in a few minutes

#

so base defenses are nearly useless, in the sense that all it takes is an alliance with a whale (so the top 20 or 30) to crack your base and boom there goes all your stuff

#

so you better live in a shield 24/7 for the next millenia

viral glen Feb 13, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

@copper brook

But you have to remember just 2 weeks ago people were complaining bases were to hard to crack.
People dont understand how bases work. So they have just huge numbers instead of the strategy it would take to do so. So they complained about it. Scoply then made the change and chased I would say most players inti rage quiting. Now even those that asked for base cracking to be made easier are leaving cause they cant protect their bases.
People ask for easier without any knowledge of what the long term cost would be.

Suggestion: Completing repair on the ship should bring shield back to 100%. My repair takes less than 5m, so repair is instant, but shield is not recharged. Seems that a fully repaired ship would have 100% shields.

@nocturne lantern is there notifications for "your shield is down" This one seems key

@nocturne lantern could refined resources be added to the Loot tables for the 10min, 4h, and 22h chests? (less rare and quantity in the lower, higher in the 4 and 22)

slim sky Feb 13, 2019, 8:22 PM

There is something wrong with the basic rss being so slow to get. People are quitting because it takes forever to mine or generate enough rss to get their ship going. that is if you don't get blown up while you mine those rss. Basic RSS need to be faster to mine and there should be cheap rss only packages in the store. The fun of this game is to try and get those rss from other palyers, but if the only way to get them in enough quantity is mine forever or through buying expensive packages only to get them stolen from you, you are going to get turn off quite a bit. I beleive it would created more interaction between player and remove some stress of not having enough just to play a little bit.

#

So the suggestion is for the basic RSS to be faster to mine and generate from the station.

nocturne lantern Feb 13, 2019, 8:37 PM

Not sure if this has been suggested but I think there should be a way to promote common -> uncommon -> rare etc. this could be done in the refinery or in a new building. I would suggest that the mechanic works like this. Example. You pay 2000 common gas and 10 uncommon. You get a return based on rng of between 15 - 28. This should be on a timer like the refining mechanic.

Can you guys improve the in-game chat client? add in the ability to tag people as friends for private messages (ones outside your alliance). It's a bit annoying having my PMs clear every day... was chatting with someone new, trying to get him placed in a better alliance last night. He moved his home base and I can't send him a message anymore. A friends list and not having PMs clear out every night would be great.

I fix the problem with relocation tokens you could offer them up in the alliance store, not sure what amount would be good but you get around 20points a day so around 500-800 for relocation token. If you have a better idea for the price post

viral glen Feb 14, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

Actually you gat around 70 a day. I have 30 relocation tokens. You can get them off NPCs. 23 + for mine chest 4 hour and 1 day. Dailies rewards for quests.

If you are out it's your own fault. For moving 2+ times a day till you ran out. The thing is in my opinion after using a relocation token you should be prevented from attacking bases for 72 hours.

Base move strip enemy base move is what actually delegates pols tokens the most.

No I dont think you should be double rewarded for stripping bases.

Please, for the love of Star Trek, use ‘strength’ as your ‘to hit’ calculation, instead of levels. If I’m level 25, and I enter a system, everything dies. If my 200k ship could only hit a range of ships between 180k - 220k (for instance) though, then things become much more interesting. The combat triangle actually matters, and who is crewing the ship would matter too. I could pull out my dusty ships and still have a ball with them, engaging an appropriate range of ‘strength’. Folks who obtain higher levels basically are excluding themselves from gameplay, because levels suck. Use what you’ve got in game already @ornate nymph and allow us a use for our tier 1, 2, and 3 ships. The battles over minerals would be epic, and folks wouldn’t be complaining about old ships clogging up their spaceports. Use strength, not levels!!!

Scenario (as things currently are): A level 18 30k envoy is happily mining crystal in Tejat. I warp into the system with my level 25 240k Kumari and obliterate them. I steal their over protection resources and they’re mad, rage quitting the game because it’s unfair (it really is).

#

Scenario (as things could be, using mechanics already in the game): A level 18 30k envoy is happily mining crystal in Tejat. I warp into the system with my level 25 240k Kumari and notice that I cannot attack the miner. My ‘to hit’ is no longer based on levels, but strength. I really need crystal, so I have to return the Kumari, and instead swap for my 30k strength Talla. I return and engage the Envoy, but because we’re equals on the combat triangle, the envoy prevails. I have to strategize now, which crew would serve this ship the best? I return once more, and lose again, because the envoy is built to take abuse. About now, the level 18’s guild mates have taken notice of the activity, and they promptly dispatch my third attempt. I talk with my guild members, and an epic battle ensues for the resources we all need. Everyone enjoys themselves, gets that cheap adrenaline rush from good pvp, and talks about how much fun they had battling over resources in this cool Star Trek phone game at work tomorrow. More subscribers show up. Profit.

And if it is 1.8mill dilithium the parsteel reward should be three times as much as it takes 3 times longer to mine the dilithium

It’s not even remotely competitive, and the triangle only matters if someone is basically the same level. Same goes for crews. They don’t matter a bit if you’re coming at someone five levels lower.

When you level Battleship repairs up, it didn’t make the repair time faster. It is still the same
When will we be able to login and select which server we want in to be. As me and my friend started the game together but on 2 different servers and when will I be able to move over to that server as it is just fair (not starting over)
Some of the research and building is ridiculous too long. As I worked out roughly to go to level 50 will take about 30 days just for operations. Crazy!!
When you do a research or a building that takes 24 hours how on earth will it be possible to complete your daily
When your ship is leaving the base the power is not the same as when it was in the base
What is the use if the last drydock is only opening on level 50. It must be open on level 40 maybe
Can make dilithium mining faster please as well as any other mining
Due to mining, building, etc that take very long people are starting to loose interest. The graphics is very good, the game concept I like but yea

@graceful fern server selection is not needed !!
there will be a lot of double accounts

empty bison Feb 14, 2019, 3:02 PM

#

t would be nice if the base of the inactive players or having left the game is automatically tp in inactive systems !! To make room on other systems that become overcrowded!

graceful fern Feb 14, 2019, 3:30 PM

#

Skynet55 there is more than one server also

silver grotto Feb 14, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

Now that we can't purposely hover over a mine, you need to make it so that in a battle after 50 rounds when it ends and neither ship is destroyed, the loser moves away from the mine a bit.

#

Also, update the servers so someone can't log on with the old app version that allows hovering on mines. It's unfair to us who did update to the latest app.

hardy briar Feb 14, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

@nocturne lantern do we have a ship layout room where we can disscuss officers and ship set ups?

hardy briar Feb 14, 2019, 5:46 PM

#

I’ve been thinking long and hard over the unbalanced base battle mechanics, is it possible for example.... this level 29 breaks down a level 20 base (base is cracked no hull) unless we have another level 27-29 player on there really is no defense if you don’t have shields and the 12 hour of shields received through dailies isn’t really enough, maybe giving a power boost to ally ships in close proximity to a allied cracked base would let smaller lower level players help defend their team and be able to hurt a very much over powered opponent, like having an actual defense

austere sable Feb 14, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

A button to clear all icons from the screen to allow us to see a full map screen without any thing in the way

#

If every planet in a system is controlled by one alliance (all planet slots filled by same alliance members) 10% power boost to all bases and ships of members in that system if they are attacked.

red flicker Feb 14, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

@nocturne lantern agreed

#

We truly need the ability to share rss among our clan

austere sable Feb 14, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

@nocturne lantern Players should only be able to attack another player either 1lvl below or 1lvl above theirs

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 6:43 PM

#

@austere sable that would probably kill the game. Apart from attacking players, there is nothing else to do in this game currently. They need to add some form of fleet combat to allow players to group up for protection or retaliation. This will blunt some of the larger players and offer some additional tactics vs restricting gameplay.

viral glen Feb 14, 2019, 6:44 PM

#

Base cracking is out of hand. @hardy briar you should know this we kept most of your entire guild bases cracked and drained before they fixed it and we were at war.
I feel base cracking should only happen if someone's foolish and didn't upgrade base defense for 2 lvl. OR you get a group together say 15 ships to crack one of same lvl.
On are server unless you are on the top100 power list chances are you are broke or just spent money. Shields or to rare to get in order to rely on them and still play. Let us buy 1 hour shields for say 2-3 guild credits.

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

@viral glen Yeah the fact that station power is actually half of what is shown doesn’t make sense currently. It really shouldn’t be as easy as it is now to crack a base.

austere sable Feb 14, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

@scarlet fable It wouldn't kill the game it would facilitate a chance for low level player to be able to compete against more seasoned and advanced players

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 6:47 PM

#

@austere sable your higher paying players are more than one level above most players. It would serve as a disincentive to advancing / paying. That’s more of what I’m saying. You are correct from a joy standpoint for lower level players.

stuck ridge Feb 14, 2019, 6:50 PM

#

these hit/attack level ranges need some serious adjustments. being hit by players 10 levels higher than myself is no joy. and probably going to make the game population dissappear if its continued to be allowed

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 6:50 PM

#

@combadge that I agree with too.

#

But 1 level up and down is too restrictive

#

Probably makes more sense to be 3 - 5 levels

stuck ridge Feb 14, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

im thinking + or - 3

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

Yeah

stuck ridge Feb 14, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

but even + or -5 would still be a major improvement

austere sable Feb 14, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

my thoughts exactly, maybe there could be some sort of power penalty for attacking a player with lower level e.g 20% attack reduction for every level difference

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Yeah a penalty for hitting lower levels is a good idea

stuck ridge Feb 14, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

like a level vs level triangle

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

Yeah, that way you can help your alliance but you’re not incentivized to bully someone

stuck ridge Feb 14, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

but 10 percent of 200k hitting my 50k stiill no chance

#

so im still petitioning for the + or - 3 imo

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

Yeah, it will likely lead to some alliance tiering, but still provides some flexibility so you have targets.

#

I would prefer fleet actions and PvE too just to give us other options for how to use our ships apart from hitting stations and miners

viral glen Feb 14, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

The thing is my opinion is based on my server not sure about others. But 2 third of my server are inactive chased away. And we cant recieve new players and in my opinion the things that led to this in order are.

Looks like every other ptw.
Miners being killed and harassed
Bases stripped
Not enough missions
Most missions mean you pay rcc.

So when you combine all these things. And the way ptw players handle things find and enemy make an enemy or just some random with rcc. Instead of farming it or mining it. Port next to guy strip him and everyone else in system if there is any rcc to gain port out and do it again run out of relocation tokens np just buy a pack for 2 needs speed ups anyway and complain they need a pack of 20 relocation tokens. Yes money can be made but the game will die after just 30 days. Want to make MORE MONEY make it so you keep players LONG TERM.

Things that could help

No base attack timer after using a relocation token.

Better base defense.

A 10 minute timer after each hit before base can be hit again. (So flight times dont in courage just porting next to target)

More way to buy or craft shields in game.

A common ship that has massive defenses and hull and shields but while at base it triples it's own defenses no need to have much offense as base guns do that.

Research that drastically increase ships docked and defending. (30k ship goes to 100k) (100k goes to 350k)

But hey what do I know just a guy who spent 3 weeks recovering from when my bases got stripped from a guy who hot me and cleaned me out in 5 minutes while I didnt get the notice I was attacked till 10 minutes later.

austere sable Feb 14, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

In keeping with the Star Trek tradition and using storyline scenarios as a benchmark it should be possible for a low level ship to destroy a more powerful and clearly outmatched foe by using a critical hit system or tactical assault manoeuvre.

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

Yeah it shouldn’t be as binary as it is

austere sable Feb 14, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

in Star Trek The Next Generation The Borg Cube clearly outmatched the enterprise but were defeated by one command "Sleep". Also the episode Peak Performance gives a good example of what can be achieved by adopting unusual tactical manoeuvres

viral glen Feb 14, 2019, 7:13 PM

#

You strip a lvl 25 plus player to protected only you did him in for months. Unless he pays money or goes out a strips everything he can find and if like my server he the top 50 then the whole servers broke.

hidden lion Feb 14, 2019, 7:49 PM

#

Tokens are available in Alliance Store. 50 points for 1 token, Max 1 per day

novel salmon Feb 14, 2019, 8:24 PM

#

Have one huge ship possibly a borg cube sit in a system that's almost impossible to kill and will one kill your ship the second round but every time you get a weapon hit you win a event chest

hardy briar Feb 14, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

@viral glen I’ve never been cracked for long periods of time lol but maybe the sister alliance was I just saying if a high level attacks there isn’t anything a low level would be able to do if they have no shields because they use the daily shields for sleep and work which they don’t even cover that for some one that works 8 hours and sleeps 8 hours your short 4 hours, I want to see something where I can help defend a mate when they are getting hit but my 50k ship is nothing when faced up against a 250k ship, there needs to be a way for a few lower leveled people to defend against the whales that’s fair, if we got some kind of boost where it would take 2-5 low level ships to take down one massive ship that would seem fair cause a team verse one should win

viral glen Feb 14, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

@hardy briar
I agree with the above statement you made.not just another 8 hour shield a day but also let me get4 1 hour shields.
Heck 2 8 hour shields and 4 1 hour shields and the option to buy another 4 hour shield and 1 8 hour shield every 2 days. Add a weekly mission that rewards 28 1 hour shield 7 8 hour shields would be helpful.

Make it so bases defend against players 5 lvle higher without the need of ships. With ships 6 or 7 lvls higher.
This makes it to crack a base 10-15 attacks from a player 6-7 lvls higher and 20-30 attacks from players equal level. And 30-40 attacks from lower levels.

Bases should take teamwork and strategy to crack and knowledge of the game to be successful.

As is currently way to easy

amber river Feb 14, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

I got one that needs to be done. Mining ships should always be at a disadvantage to bases, explorers, interceptors, and battleships. They should never be equal.

viral glen Feb 14, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

@amber river
Agreed. If miners are equal with to a battleship or interceptor or explorer who has more guns.
I want to take the miners gun and put 3 of them on my ships.
And if they gonna be equal to bases they too should lose half to two thirds their power in combat.

honest talon Feb 14, 2019, 9:51 PM

#

This is because of Northstars, or Fortunates annoy you too?

amber river Feb 14, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

@honest talon what the problem is, a mining ship when sitting on an envoy of 36k strength should not be able to hold it's ground to a Jelly of 35k strength. It could be strong and put up a good fit, these ships should not be equal in strength as a mining ship isn't designed to fight but to mine.

honest talon Feb 14, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

partly agree, but reading the jelly description, they aren't exactly designed as heavy hitters eirlther

#

📎 20190214_230041.png

#

so a science vessel against a survey ship seems like an even match to me.

#

against a battleship is another matter

copper brook Feb 14, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

@nocturne lantern would it be possible to have a table of each of the buildings, their level and required resources needed to build it? It would be nice to know how much the next building is so I can prepare ahead of time the requirements.
Either that, or even if I don't have the requirements I can see how much it is (for example the Operations building has several requirements that usually take several days or weeks to build, but then you get hit with a massive X amount of a resource that you could have been stockpiling while you worked towards OP building)

scarlet fable Feb 14, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

@nocturne lantern there needs to be more depth in pvp. Even if in the short term it’s something like selecting tactics before going into combat. A simple rock, paper, scissors mechanism that gives bonuses to ships that counter the other ship’s tactic will make the outcome less predictable.

nocturne lantern Feb 15, 2019, 12:19 AM

#

The ships are already R/P/S... interceptor has advantage over bs, bs has advantage over explorer, explorer has advantage over interceptor

#

O.o a thought... Crew member Khan, chance to find opponent's command code and bypass shields lol

scarlet fable Feb 15, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

Yeah which makes it predictable. Would be nice to have some tactic you hold close to chest.

tawdry tiger Feb 15, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

I think the first thing scopley need to look at is fixing the economy. Q, if you read all of the earlier complaints. The most common complaint is the economy, higher ups are starved for mats and they loot and raid lower levels. I would do the same too because it becomes cost prohibitive to upgrade ships and stations at that level range. It’s a bad idea to have building exceed your max warehouse capacity. Maybe except the command center. And another thing, if you go down that route, DO NOT increase the command center building rss requirements. It is high enough as it is.

#

And another thing, adjust the repair costs for the ships and increase the mining rates for all of the rss, at higher level. It’s impractical to mine those 3 rss because the mat requirements are so high. If I need 50k of dilithium, it will take me days to mine that much. That’s extreme and encourages farming other players, then those players that get farmed often will quit. Losing your potential paying player base.

#

I’m fine with hitting bases to give you an rss advantage and push to upgrade but that should be optional, NOT a requirement to advance.

copper brook Feb 15, 2019, 6:18 AM

#

@nocturne lantern here's an idea. Have an officer who's ability is like 20% chance to Recall when attacked. This way if you're over protected capacity as a miner you have a 1 in 5 chance you can escape and keep your rss. Being that right now the whales are pretty much glorified lawnmowers going through sectors and cleaning people out.

shrewd jacinth Feb 15, 2019, 6:36 AM

i wish ships would auto return when a mine hits zero, it would free up so many mines....

copper brook Feb 15, 2019, 6:45 AM

I would like to suggest to scopely to limit the levels of player levels that can hit other players..

Example.. Player level 26 only can hit 2 levels below and 2 levels only.. Its frustrating when level 26 hitting a level 19 player

nocturne lantern Feb 15, 2019, 7:41 AM

#

Read further up, better suggestion is to lose the level based gapping and do a +/-% based on the ship's power

#

How about it? @nocturne lantern

stark sinew Feb 15, 2019, 8:54 AM

#

I would like to make a suggestion to lower the store values so the low level players could keep up with the the top guns or make some king of trade system inside the alliance that everyone belongs!

grizzled eagle Feb 15, 2019, 11:33 AM

#

@nocturne lantern is there a possibility of changing the 8 hour peace shield to a 12 hour? This would allow us to bubble up before bed! I keep staying up late to use the 8. Oops!

ocean wadi Feb 15, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

@tawdry tiger @nocturne lantern this is just one of the MANY examples of what everyone speaks of and this is one component on one ship. The economic imbalances is not going to be fixed. It's designed to bankrupt you and every player on the server Especially when your upgrade requirements for one ship may require a year of mining or a month of player farming. Even then, good luck because the refinery still sucks terribly for refining g3 uncommon and rare resources.

#

@tawdry tiger @nocturne lantern

📎 unknown.png

#

@nocturne lantern @tawdry tiger Here's an even better example. The resource requirements are absolutely staggering for an absolutely useless component to be upgraded. All of this to protect 10k dilithium? No thanks.

@ocean wadi if it keeps up like this with the economy. This game will die within a year....

nocturne lantern Feb 15, 2019, 5:06 PM

Here’s more idea/suggestions. Make it so we can choose servers or migrate to a server so we can find and play with RL family and friends. I have people waiting for this to even start playing so we can together. ALSO make it so we can send ships onto mines without mining again like it usta be. It’s taken allot of thinking and strategic planing out of the game. It causes allot of accidental attacks. And just seems like the developers don’t listen or consider our suggestions. P.S. fix all the broken mines!!! Come on, how has someone not gotten fired for this yet?!?!

quiet osprey Feb 15, 2019, 5:24 PM

#

@nocturne lantern Any news about rescuing our prelaunch server?

Also a big change that I think is needed is that faction hostiles need to have a variety of resources based on ship type like neutral hostiles.

reef spade Feb 15, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

@nocturne lantern @ornate nymph suggestion: make the 4 hour chest loot pool "better" than the 10 chest pool. I opened one of each back to back, I got 50 crew xp and 1000 para from the 10 minute chest, and just 50 crew xp from the 4 hour chest. Something we wait 4 hours to open should have higher rewards than something we can do 6 times an hour, IMHO

Can we add the option to do fracking instead of mining?

muted sail Feb 16, 2019, 12:22 AM

#

Factions - if you join a faction there should be parameters that will increase or decrease your standing. For example: Fed, if you attack survey ships you lose a huge amount of rep. Klingons, you need to attack a specific amount of ships but no survey ships... the whole honor thing. Romulans, do anything.

This would make picking a faction meaningful and provide different gameplay. As people get exponentially stronger, weaker people can travel deep in their own faction more a little more protection.

I get this is a Pay to Win PvP game but each level you increase widens the gap exponentially making it almost impossible to play without dying every minutes or get raided to lose resources needed to upgrade.

#

Mining things you can’t live long enough is just dumb. Having missions you cannot possibly do until you drop a few thousand is also dumb. There’s literally no way you can enjoy playing when your battleship has 150k less strength than a survey ship that constantly farms systems.

well ive set my date of termination. over the past week ive lost some 7 players in my alliance , not to another alliance but to another game. all thier complaints are the same as mine.. the attack range is to big level 20s leaveing the game because their miners got killed before they land, or their bases get hit and looted from a level 30. if we cant mine were left to missions for loot, which are insanely hard. and too few. half of which require insane amounts of mining or insane donations of loot. our server is down to scraps for resources., players bases are being hit for 100k loot. cause all the level 30s horde it all. im targeting level 16s for 50k loot myself. just so i can upgrade a silly low produceing parsteel generator. if the attack level ranges arent fixed by the end of march (i know im being generous at that) ill be moving on as well. this game has great possibilities but its lifespan is already dying. due to overpowered attack levels. i hope things change. but im that guy who wants to believe. id like to believe its being considered. id like to believe theyre already working on it. but i havent heard of or seen a rumor that it is.

I know many players who already leave the Game or plan to leave cause of the big disbalance beteween cash-players and non cash-players. At lvl 20 it get just impossible updating anything if you dont pay at least the Money that you Need for shild 24h/d cause of the players with lvl 28 who have no Problem to loot you. I See two possible way for a bether balancing. 1. smaler attack Range or 2. a loot System that reduce the loot if the attacker is to big like the System of clash of Clans. If the attacker have the same lvl (or Max power) it give 100% of loot, but if the attacker have 10% more power the loot reduce to 90%... or somerhing like that.
But if you don‘t do anything for a bether balancing im sure the Game will die cause of many frustratet players who don‘t like to pay x thousends of Dollars

I have no Problem with pay2win, but it should be posibble to Play without pay. At the Moment it isn‘t .

well im not f2p i fact i throw in 200 a month. and im lagging far behind the high lords. come march im witholding any cash purchases. cause i just dont see any survival in it. theres plenty of more balanced p2p games out there to choose from, but it wont be a scopely game if i leave. id like to stay. but ill need signs of improvement. not more gadgets for the whales like faction ships. god knows ill never get there at this rate, would be nice to finally have one. but its not gonna be possible under these game dynamics

#

and the shield timers are si bad, 8 hrs...useless, 30 mins to work and back 8 hrs at work, id need a 9hr shield. just so i can have a job to spend the money on this game. shield stacking might help. but im sure that would put a damper on shield sales.

We have to be able to sell or scrap old ships! Before I was fully plugged in, I built 2 extra fortunates and an extra corvette. I could use that space in my hangar for new ships hat would help my current cause...but I am saddled with maxed out, useless ships. Please allow us to sell or scrap them.

stuck ridge Feb 16, 2019, 9:49 AM

#

or remove the level restrictions on the hanger altogether...its not even game breaking if they did that, theres no reason for restricting hanger space at all

#

scopely likes to put handicaps on pointless things. the hanger is an example. whats the point? isnt the number of docks already a restriction? its not like i can send out 12 ships at once. hanger is pointless

#

refinery is handicapped 3times, first you need to x amount of res to run it, second if you have the res you can only run x amount, third you can only run it once every ten hours. 4th theres still almost no chance of getting uncommon or rare and if u do get it its its like 3 percent of what u need to upgrade one ship module. oh wait thats actually four handicapps, lol

#

remove all the handicapps if i have res let me run it as often as i like. theres no point in this other stuff except to sell it for cash

@ornate nymph @nocturne lantern

The situation with rebalancing of the game around tritainum is untenable and is killing off the game. Our founding server is suffering from the loss of players before the last update and since, the big players have made it more impossible as they are desperate and staving the smaller players thus they are quitting en mass.

The second issue is that we are fenced off from new players joining the founding server. No fresh player or server merging to keep the player base maintained, thus dwindling down to less than 5% of active players since the last injection of players from the S1 & S2 server merge back in November 1, 4 months ago.

The server is dying rapidly and unless there is a change, there will be very few to no players within the next two months.

hard elk Feb 16, 2019, 12:57 PM

@plain roost how can you tell how many players are on a server?

plain roost Feb 16, 2019, 12:58 PM

#

It's an estimate ... but judging on the intel we have, we can see the overall activity of the playerbase... Scopely will know exactly how many are active

hard elk Feb 16, 2019, 12:59 PM

#

Fartasia, don't want to hijack your thread. But very interesting. Also how do you tell which server you are on?

plain roost Feb 16, 2019, 12:59 PM

#

The other thing is that many players are saying that they're giving up and open their bases to be drained ... it is sad when you see level 30+ players doing it

nocturne lantern Feb 16, 2019, 12:59 PM

You've only got to spend 30mins scouting bases to raid to realise that more and more are being abandoned every day...

Stay at 14 as long as you can upgrade all buildings and research get your ships tough and maybe invest in some peace shields...don't pull the trigger on 15 until you are the least desirable target in that range

plain roost Feb 16, 2019, 1:04 PM

#

Here is an example of a strong player that had billions in resources and quit this month after 9+ months

#

Totally drained and nonactive... The changes to the balancing and game mechanics killed it for him... He also spend thousands of dollars on the game...

#

There are many more examples of players leaving like LtSmash

#

The other issue is that the game has bugs that allow players to cheat and bypass protection to raid resources from other players. Scopely have acknowledged that this is a know bug and have not given any indication of urgency to fix it players who get hit by other players who exploit this bug are also quitting as they see no point in the game as it can't be trusted to do as promised.

#

The other indicator of the server dying is the merging of top alliances that were once full of active players.

No daily kills because set to hight - unless you pay to upgrade ship's.
No building or research due to excessive rss cost - unless you pay.
Really need achievable goals to stay interested and maybe higher level players should only be able to hit 1 level above and below would save a lot of people quitting? But another game that's only interested in making money not the player experience!!

Ship Size Scaling could do some fixing. Mining ships should not be as big as a battleship. Interceptors are also smaller than a battleship but larger than a miner. Explorers should be only slightly smaller than battleships. Now all ships are almost similar in size at the drydocks. Miners are unrealistically enormous when parked next to their battleship counterparts.

For game mechanic:

I suggest some changes to the Interceptor < Explorer < Battleship without changing the current profile.

Power of all ships remain the same as current. But to justify the damage, use Accuracy figures instead. The Interceptors should fire more times when fighting battleships or have higher accuracy. This reflects how easy it is to shoot at a bigger target. 🎯

Battleships have lower accuracy when fighting Interceptors thus deal slightly lower damage. 🔫 They hit explorers as per normal since both ships are almost similar in size, also do more damage as Plasma Cannons > Explorer shields.

Explorers have higher power over Interceptors because of their higher shield figures and higher accuracy from Phaser Cannons. 🎯

Mining Ships should not be more powerful though, I suggest that more powerful miners like envoy to North Star will never outdamage warships in their range. They should have high shields and armor but be hard to hit because of their smaller size. Overall, all warships should win miners but not totally destroy them in 1 engagement. Higher level miners can wear down a warship but requires the player to attack the warship multiple times (~3 times? ).

The home base and game looks beautiful overall and could use some better sizing of the ships and mechanic changes. Thanks for reading, Devs!😊

@ornate nymph

My friends and I came up with many ideas that may improve the overall activity and interactions of the alliances.

Commodores need the ability to edit the announcement panel and front page alliance info are.

2)Premiers should be allowed to send invites to other players to have them join an alliance. or allow Leader and Commodores to make custom permission settings per rank.

The alliance announcements should be show a history of prior notifications that can be deleted. Furthermore, alliance announcement should notify all members.
We would like to be able to make custom rankings to suit our alliance themes.
We would like to see a log in entry such as when the player was last logged in. This will help us with clan management and be able to get rid of inactive players.
We would like to see who is Online or Offline with an indicator.
Give us the option to make the clan roster to be set public or private.
We would like to see a diplomacy setting where the commodores and leader can set other server alliances as friend, enemy or neutral. These diplomatic relations will be color coded to help tell who is friend, enemy or neutral. We would also like a Declare war setting which will notify an opposite alliance. When declaring an ally, the other alliance must accept on there end also. Diplomacy Settings will be configurable and color code other alliances depending on diplomatic relations.

#

We would like members to be able to request a limited amount of resources to help them start research, build a building or ship and do repairs. I think this would be a nice feature to have and would. The request amount and how long until they can make another resource request will be based on the alliance's level and on the members level. Members online can pitch in their own resources to help.
Have a banned member list. When we kick someone we should have the option to able to prevent them from returning based on their player id that is in their profile. For example, we can just kick them out normally or ban them. The Banned List can be modified through alliance settings.

These suggestions will make alliances more interactive and manageable.

cold kite Feb 16, 2019, 10:31 PM

#

another suggestion: micellian spore drive update 😉

#

well thought of @marsh gull , except point 4

#

since there are ranks, you should be able to set flags on what they are allowed to do (on the rank, not on member)

marsh gull Feb 16, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

Well custom ranks is just a fun idea or at least allow us to rename the rankings.

cold kite Feb 16, 2019, 10:36 PM

#

I think that could be done at a very later stage of development, think they got enough bugs to fix first 😛

#

color codes should stay fixed as well, so in case member switch alliance, they don't need to relearn the settings for the new one

#

red for enemy bases, neutral as now, friend orange ?

marsh gull Feb 16, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

Well I hope these ideas are considered. Because I find myself having trouble with clan management and would like to see something that could make running an alliance a bit more easier instead of having to individual message every member to see if they reply or not. As for the color codes, they should be fixed. Right now when we see people we can tell who is apart of the alliance and who is not. However make the allies color orange and have enemies of an alliance as red? Maybe the devs could figure something out.

cold kite Feb 16, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

which clan management ? 😛

marsh gull Feb 16, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

Well having Last Logged In date under members names would be helpful. Then there is the offline and online indicator which would help entire alliance members overall. Then you have the roles on which ranks can do what. I think we as leaders and commodores should be able to decide who does what.

#

Not to mention premiers are basically officers in this entire game. They need to have the ability to invite people into an alliance.

Can the colour of this text be green when it is still under protected limit and then change to red when it is over protected limit?

Or just leave it white for protected and change to red when it isn't like what happens with warp for the ship if you select a system you can't warp to?

wrong item to put that on (total cargo capacity field), I suggest to do that with the left counter (current cargo amount)

@ornate nymph and @nocturne lantern , cc @plain roost

I 100% concur with what Fartasia posted at 22:50 yesterday. I am on a different server and the exact same thing is happening. Three whales in a particular Alliance have totally killed off players from L15 to L20. But here's the thing ... they became powerful by spending money with Scopely (you may see that as a good thing), BUT, they have now gotten refunds for that expenditure (without any censure from Scopely) and are using their NOW FREE ships to plunder bases on a regular basis because they openly state that they can now get the resources they need by farming bases and NOT spending any more money (remember, they have effectively now not spent any money anyway), so the nett effect is ...

Scopely have actually made no money from them,
Players are leaving in droves (no wonder there are now around 74 Level 1 systems, to house the dead bases),
They are killing the server.

You really need to get your head around those players who now brag, in Discord servers, about the THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in refunds that they have received from Google and Apple.

Here is an idea that could be implemented into the game. A way to trade parts in for other parts of that type like 5 1 star parts for 1 2 star part and the same with 2 stars to 3 stars parts. It would help people get rid of parts they no longer need and help them also get parts they do need.

Recycling needs to be possible, old mothballed ships need to be convertible to base g1 rss, g2 needs to be upscalable to g3 in some fashion. With ship slots limited by hangar lvl and ship events being essentially impossible to max out without building new disposable ships recycling is a must. Scaling up g2 to g3 offers higher lvl players an opportunity to make use of old useless rss and a much needed additional source of g3 uc income. @ornate nymph

they mostly raid bases because it is a nice source of dili

since that is being badly protected in vaults and hard to find for the lower levels

#

yes, I know for you high level players the number I am about to produce are a laughter compared to what you pay, but I have a mission where I need to pay 25k dili

#

which is almost impossible unless you use constant shields

#

because some player 5 levels higher as you may waltz over your base and rip you dry

#

our defenses are useless in those cases, because their power is like 5 times ours

yes, "War ain't fair" applies here, but this is like defending yourself with sticks and stones while the enemy waltzes with tanks around your base

What I would really like to know is why difrent servers have difrent nodes max/difrent refine amounts for difrent lvls/difrent faction rewards to buy etc? are all servers basically have a difrent "difficulty lvl" for how easy or hard it is to advance, as if server per server we are some kinda experiment to see who complains about what so someone can have some kinda Data and eventually regulate it all throughout every server? Or is it more to mess with us in discord as more and more YT vids are out there from difrent servers we can clearly see that my server has a huge disadvantage when it comes to the things mentioned above.I cannot buy rss from my faction, i do not have 2 or 3 refining chances of each mats at the same lvl of the YT'er and our nodes have less in them and just generally less of them as well.

On my server only the top 50 players have rcc worth anything. The top players rob from everyone at about a rate of 200 people a day. With just over 2000 people ACTIVE every week every ones is drained of all rcc. This is causing a massive halt.

all ways of getting rcc is too slow. Bases are way to easy to crack and steal from.

When hitting players is not just a faster way of acceleration. It is weeks faster but also insanely easy.

This issue is made worse when people log in see they been robbed. They try to get rcc back but it's so slow. Then when they finally do they get robbed again. They give up and just quit.

We need a decent speed way to get what rcc we need for 1 build and 1 research and 6 ship repairs for every 2 hours of play.

The average person plays 1 1/2 hours per day according to the video game survey of 2018. This means with an increase of 30 minutes play after you been robbed you can do something. Then you get to do the same tomorrow. This also means if you get robbed you can spend 14 hours to get 4 million parasteel 1 million titanium and 250k dilithium...

So in two hours let's say the average at lvl 20 money spent they have a ship power around 30-40k they can kill about 10-5 ships within about 1-4 lvls higher then them. (THIS IS WHO NEEDS THE MOST HELP)[as played players feed on them]
the
This means a lvl 25 hostile ship should have.
4k+ parasteal or 1k trit and dilithium should be around 300. Per kill

This allows free to play to spend time to get rcc while played robb them and everyone's happy.

Just an idea, what if you made quests for kills to update for every level. Right now feeling a big federation lv 25 shortage, every single one in game is killed.

Lv 26s are a big jump, seems to be at least like 3 25s kills in strength (traders go from 45k to 62k). Everyone with faction standing of between 5k and 25k will get a task with highest award for 25+. Would help a lot if it would be like from 5 to 12.5k kill tasks for 10 x lv 23s and 25 x lv 24s and 12.5k to 25k kill tasks for 10 x lv 24s and 25 x lv 25s.

#

Same for example with regards to lv 19 hostiles (kill task for everyone on levels 18-19), would make it better if 18s would have their main task to kill 18s and 19s would have a main task on 19s.

Now there is a shortage on odd leveled enemies in the systems. Could also be fixed by circulating the enemies by other means than just kills.

Where is the Star Trek soul in this game? This game could also have been called Space Pirates. It's getting so annoying that you have to pay or steal to level up at some point! And then you have to wait for days until it is complete... And what are you doing in the time? Mine, kill and steal... Very Star Trek.

#

An idea about a Real Star Trek feature: exploring anomalies with your science vessel!

#

Type: spatial, subspace or temporal (Q can use each of them to appear)
Subtype: Q contact:
Description: The mighty entity Q appears on your ship and challenged your crew with a dramatic task
Effect: young crews might fail at his challenge and gain nothing or loose moral and more advanced crews level up

Type: spatial anomaly
Subtype: chaotic space
Description: Your ship entered chaotic space. An extremely energetic zone where the laws of physics are in a state of flux, causing an extreme hazard to navigation
Effect: +3% improvement on evasion maneuvers

#

Type: spatial anomaly
Subtype: spatial flexure
Description: Your crew encountered a spatial flexure. A type of spatial rift, which is a tunnel through space. Your ship was drawn into it and sent to another star system.
Effect: displaces your ship to a random star system

Type: spatial anomaly
Subtype: quantum filament
Description: Your crew encountered a quantum filament. An astrophysical phenomenon which can be very hazardous to space vehicles. Quantum filaments can be hundreds of meters long, but have almost no mass, making them extremely difficult to detect.
Effect: 20% ship damage and level up of all crewmembers.

timber moat Feb 18, 2019, 9:11 AM

#

Type: spatial anomaly
Subtype: gravity well
Description: Your crew was trapped inside a gravity well. A spatial anomaly, that draws ships to its center and gradually crushes them, inflicting kinetic damage.

Effect: up to 80% ship damage, depending on the initial speed of the ship and increasing the impulse speed of the ship by 3%.

@ornate nymph Admirals need more management tools. We need activity trackers (to see who is inactive or not), we need diplomacy options (where we can assign Allies different colors on the map).

@ornate nymph Would you kindly open the pre-release server for new players? Or could we merge our server into another with more players? Or could you at least give us the option to transfer our accounts and alliances to other servers that have not been abandoned?

sonic vessel Feb 18, 2019, 5:12 PM

#

Hey @civic thicket , being nosey, but which refining options do you get? (1 attempt or 3 attempts per 10 hours like founders) and do you have people with the “free” rare / epic faction ships that scopely gave away after the merge from digit? Cause if you do.. why would anyone in their right mind want to join that?

Founders must stay separate for good imo. And i don’t have enough info on pre release to say if thats the same deal.

As the economy is way way different and x50 times more expensive to do anything on release servers.

civic thicket Feb 18, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

@sonic vessel 1 attempt per 10 hours. We don't have any faction ships. We haven't even been able to access the factions yet. We have no players, our alliances are dying and the few players we have have spent enough in the game.

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

no factions ?

civic thicket Feb 18, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

@cold kite We have the factions, but no one has been able to access it yet. The server is empty and we do not have many active players left.

#

Our server has so little access to things that top players don't even compare to other servers. For example, the highest I've seen so far have been level 27 players

coarse shard Feb 18, 2019, 5:45 PM

#

I think the ranges are fine for ship v ship pvp attacks but I think the base attack range should be considerably narrowed. Something like +/- 2 or 3 levels max makes way more sense. It is unreasonable that a level 29 can empty a level 22 base by themself in minutes

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 5:53 PM

#

I disagree Campr, pvp should be rebalanced totally

#

a level 19 attacking a level 15 is simply unreasonable , as the 15 has no real chance of defending himself

#

-1 or -2/+any would be better

sonic vessel Feb 18, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

Yeah, that sounds rough tbh @civic thicket . My advice, make the most of the quiet life for now. Sounds like u will be merged / moved at some point

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

they do not have the ability to transfer users across servers yet, but once that is there, they might ask around who is interrested in testing things in order to put new players on the server

#

I don't think they should simply open it for new players, but due to its nature, only put ppl on them upon request

#

we already complain a lot about the bugs on the release servers, a beta server will probably have way more bugs

sonic vessel Feb 18, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

Actually they do, as they have already done it @cold kite

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

move clients ?

#

jb just told me they can't yet

sonic vessel Feb 18, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

But not for general consumption thats true. Yes, move clients

#

They did merges before, related to founders

#

Afaik anyway

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

since it's probably just a matter of copying sql data from one server to another, yeah, moving should be easy

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

Attacks shouldn't be lvl based for the simple fact. Thos that play more often would eventually not be able to attack anybody. Those that pay would be punished for lvling.
Make is so to attack you have to be with in a range. Like 10k to 20k van attack each other. For bases the power of the base is also the max power that can attack it.
This would give incentive to build more ships for different power ranges

#

SERVER TRANSFERS

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

@viral glen , still, your method would be harder to implement, what I am suggesting only requires the change of perhaps 1 or 3 lines of code

#

I am looking for solutions that would work, and would be damn easy to implement

#

before we would move to complete rewrites of the pvp engine which can always be done when the game is more stable

#

in the state the game currently is in, they should primary focus on fixing the bugs, while being able to add small improvements that cannot cause any more bugs and does not need extended testing

#

I am sure the idea of more decent alliance maintenance is on their plan, but they do not start on it yet, coz there are many things still to do

#

every suggestion, bugreport whatever undergoes a simple loop:

@cold kite
Your method would leave to low unable to attack and to high unable to attack.

The way they got it is fine till you hit 23 new builds make to much diffrence new tier ships to high.
Even your way lvl 22 against lvl 23 same ship same crew same tier would lose just becouse of the new buildings at that level. Lvl 20 against lvl 19 also loses as the 20 has a new tier of ship.

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

@viral glen why should a high level with 4 times the power be able to attack a lower player who doesn't stand a chance ?

#

a level 19 player considers a level 15 base an easy dili mining farm

#

dili vaults don't even protect the amount they say they will

#

I have a level 9 dili vault which should protect 1575 dili, I got my base raided, and when I returned I had way below that remaining

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

@cold kite
Agreed that why I say power ranges.
10k-20k is fine this doesnt mean 15k ship can hit 5k no 15k can hit 10k at the lowest.

Lvl 19 player max 70k lvl 20player max ship around 130k your way still leaves the same problem.

It had a year of testing things like balance and basic game mechanic should have already been figured out. Small tweaks should be where we are at but we aren't there so if complete changes are needed then so be it

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

yes. but keep such changes simple in the beginning, focus on improvement step by step, get rid of bugs, and when you have that behind you, go finetune/replace

#

I agree PvP might need a complete rewrite, and I suggest to only limit the lower limit you may attack

#

or in your way of suggesting it, the power level of the vessel

#

e.g. make it min.target.power = attacker.vessel.power * 0.7

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:32 PM

#

You are aware a level 20 player can only attack lvl 16 to lvl 25 right?

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:33 PM

#

yes, and whats the average power of a lvl 16 and of a lvl 20 ?

#

like 13k per ship not fully tiered for the 16 vs a ship 2 or 3x the power for the 20 ?

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:34 PM

#

16 the same as 19 70k. Lvl 20 average is 130k. Your way NOTHING CHANGES.

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:34 PM

#

are you talking about base power ?

#

70% of 130k = 91k

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

My server we have people who stay at 1 lvl and max everything and refuse to lvl just so they can grief others

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

so would require level 17

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

Lvl 16 player can have a 70k ship.

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

and 0.7 was just an example, you could make it 0.8 or even more

#

if they buy it with money perhaps

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

No just get to a level first and DONT LEVEL max everything DONT LEVEL.
Everyone under you and equal to you is lunch

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

the formula I mentioned would be basing limits on power of attacker and target, which is what you suggested , only using fixed values

#

how to not level ?

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

Ok. Thought you were still on level not power.

#

How to not level. Dont upgrade operations that's it

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

as i said, only limit the minimum POWER of the target an attacker could pick using a simple percentage

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

Ya that's what I have been saying

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

everything else would still stick on level 1 as well, you can't max other buildings without upgrading operations

#

neither your docks and ship yard which you now need to build the ship

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

Ok go to level you want say operations 16. Max all research and non operation buildings then max tier your ships. Stay there and just beat the crap out of lowers.

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

and due to the new rules, even if you could buy the blue prints for a grade 2/3 ship, you cannot build it

#

@viral glen he would run out of possible targets, coz his 70% ship power would exceed the power of a lower

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:43 PM

#

You dont need a different ship. At lvl 15 most players are lucky if the get the phindra to tier 2. Yet if you stay and max it to tier 7.

This is a huge problem on my server. That's why lvl based attack system is broken. And a percent system is better but still has issues as would any system

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:44 PM

#

you could still tune the percentage based on levels

#

e.g. factor in the level as a little modificator of the percentage

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

But 70% let's use simple numbers 1k ship still just get pummeled by the guy with a 1700 ship. And those that abuse this just grief others

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:46 PM

#

1190 for 1700 needed

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:46 PM

#

But now we are getting back into complicated

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:47 PM

#

you could also base it on plain power without the mods

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:47 PM

#

70% of 1k is 700 this is basic math. Why did you add 190 for no reason

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:47 PM

#

and make the percentage higher, e.g. 90%

#

it's attackers power * 0.9

#

or .7

#

you add 70% to the target power in your math which is wrong

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

Certain lvls like 23 have a massive advantage on lower levels.

We can even make the current system work just by cutting certain lvls off from attacking lowers but lowers can attack highers

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

lowers should always be able to attack as high as they want, not limited like now

#

only the minimum attack power should be limited

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

Ok attacker is 1700 and defender is 1k the math dont change

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:50 PM

#

the 70% rule would forbid that battle 😛

#

1000 < 1190

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:50 PM

#

Why the attacker is only 70% stronger

#

1190 is 40.9% more then 700

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

my formula was: min.target.power = attacker.vessel.power * 0.7

#

so if you attack with your 1700 ship, the minimum you can attack is 1700 - (1700 * 0.7)

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

Min target power is 1000
Attacker allowed to be 70% bigger
Max attacker can be 1700

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

no, just 1700*0.7 = 1149

#

target allowed to be 30% lower then attacker in this case

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

70% of 100 is 70 there for 170 is 70% bigger then 100 now just add a zero

#

Like you said percentage can be changed but not if the people doing the changes cant do math

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

you apply the value based on the target, me on the attacker, there is our difference 😉

#

a 1000 may kill 700+

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:56 PM

#

Ok 1700 attacker can attack a 1000 ship

Ok 1000 defender can be attacked by 1700 ship

The math doesnt change

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:56 PM

#

no

#

we think the same

#

but use a different base

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

1190 power ship can be attacked by a 2023 power ship

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

1416 ship can be attacked by 2023

#

2023 * 0.7 = 1416

#

you say 1190*1.7 = 2023

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

Ok 1416 that the number.
So now break out your calculator
1416 plus 70% equals 2407.2 so now round down the point you get 2407.

So a 1416 power ship could be attacked by a 2407 power ship.

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

19:51] VitaminTHC: my formula was: min.target.power = attacker.vessel.power * 0.7 <- what did I say here from the beginning ? would you please follow that math ?

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

So if you are going to base it on percentage take any givin ship power add the desired percentage that tells you the max for that particular power score.

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

attacker.vessel.power is in your case 2023

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

I am.
I am also saying you cant do math

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

2023 * 0.7 = ?

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

3439

#

Well actually 3439.1

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

throw away your calculator please

#

2023 x 0.7 = 1416(.1)

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

Actually I do this in my head

#

Ok let's try this what is 0.7 of 100?

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

70

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

Right. So 70% more then 100 is?

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

again. you use the target level as source to apply the percentage to

#

i use the attackers level as base

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

It doesnt matter what target is it can still be attacked by 70% larger so if the target is 100 then it can be attacked by a max 170

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

there is where we differ,, you do min.attacker.power = own.power * 1.7

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

If I have 100 p ship it can be attacked by 170 p ship that's the highest as its 70 percent bigger then me

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

yes, if you base it on the TARGET's level

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

It doesnt matter 70 bigger or 70 smaller 70 percent is still the same

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:10 PM

#

I base it on the power of the ATTACKER, not the TARGET

#

like you do

#

I say, the TARGET must at least have 70% of the power of the ATTACKER

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

Ok so 100 ship can attack what lowest level ship at 70%

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

you say the TARGET can be attacked by ATTACKERS that are at least 70% the power of the TARGET

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

Ok so now your saying 30% difference

#

That means 100 ship can be attacked by 130 ship

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:13 PM

#

in my formula yes, coz 130 ship may attack 91+

#

130*0.7

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:13 PM

#

So a 100p ship whether it be attacker or defender would have a combat range of
70-130 there for it can kill 70 and be killed by 130

#

It's the same thing.

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

the numbers differ already at low powers, where your's scores lower then mine

#

130 (attacker s power) * 0.7 (70% of it) = 91

#

so in my math the 130 could attack 91+

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:16 PM

#

No it equals 39

#

So ya 91

#

Ok i see what you did there

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

finally, took me a long time 😛

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

But then your way would mean 100 p ship couldn't be attacked by 100p ship

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:18 PM

#

DEFENDER needs to have at least 70% of the ATTACKERS power in order to allow

#

thats how you should read my formula

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

Defender 70
Attacker 100
That's it that's 70% of the attacker

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:19 PM

#

yeap

#

so the attacker may attack 70+ when he's 100

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

What you did on your last equation was 100 +30%-30% the problem is you get extra on the - course you are calculating 30 extra points

#

Now you got it so a 100 PBS hip has an attack range of
70 - 130
Ok now the math is right

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

applying the percentage on attacker gives a better protection for the defender

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

No mainly because bigger is still bigger that like saying in a race the last guy across the line is better becouse it didnt take even longer
Last is still last

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

70% is harsh, but as said, just an example on how to make it power dependant instead of level based

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

The result for a 70 p ship against a 100 p ship is the same as a 1 p ship against 1m p ship.
The lower is still dead

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

depends on random and the crew

#

there is no game like this without the creep called rand()

#

and rand() can be very nasty

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

That's where I say this game is off
Shield deflection= damage reduction
Dodge= damage reduction
Armor= damage reduction
Each has its counter it's all damage reduction.

Dodge should be did the attacker even hit

Shield deflection did the attack do any damage to shields

Armor did the attack even do damage to hull

And piercings counter this.

No they did it all as damage reduction why have 1000 in any one they all mean the same thing

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

there are skills that lower the health of the enemy by 20 or 30%, if defender has that for example, attacker has a chance to still loose

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

Except they dont trigger. They are all broken that do that

cold kite Feb 18, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

thats a bug then that should be fixed

#

but using the bare power of the ship without accounting for crew skills, would be a decent base to apply the math to

viral glen Feb 18, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

Yes it should barrot 10% hull loss at start of battle bones +20% if barrot worked this combo would be 30% loss of hull per combat. Only 3 miners would die before attacker had to repair regardless of size of attacker.

#

Then the best character for round healing was broken and instead of fixing was just flat out changed and made useless till people get to lvl 50. Why not just add djaoki with the new abilities or whatever why not just fix the character.

Scoply said to counter spock at lvl 50 my sever highest iS 34

They should have fixed the healer and added a new character later I dont know around lvl let's say 50

#

For that matter why change Klein to Carol abilities are the same.
Spending the time reducing the module and name change was a waste of programmers time. They could have just added a new character.
TRUST ME NOBODY WOULD BE MAD SCOPLY ADDED A CHARACTER

rigid dagger Feb 19, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

Would it hurt to allow ships to repair simultaneously? Maybe each drydock has its own crew?

kindred falcon Feb 19, 2019, 1:19 AM

#

@rigid dagger There can only be one Scotty. Except of course for the fact that there are two of them!

@ornate nymph @nocturne lantern
a suggestion on the problem with the player level balance. High levels raiding much lower level players etc. How about looking at having npc bases sprinkled all over the systems that cater to players of different levels to raid or practice with and being able to obtain finite amt of rss from these npc bases.. That would take some pressure off the lower level players and give the higher level players something to look at.

Secondly, for events.. Maybe an event featuring wars against npc factions that pits the players against these factions. Not just plain old hostile hunting..faction ships congregating within systems and require players to attack and clear as many numbers within a short time frame.. That way.. Alliances can band their players together and join in the war at intervals which would be fun and a good way to differentiate from active and non-active alliance members.

Thanks!

#

Expanding on the war idea.. Have pvp war events that defaults all players ship strength to a certain level and engage in pvp wars.. That way.. It would be down to battle tactics of the alliances to win the fight instead of just depending on the power players within an alliance. But guess this is asking too much of the Dev..

#

On repair crew let me hire one for each dock. It can be in the skill tree or an add on for each dock...

stuck ridge Feb 19, 2019, 5:53 AM

#

a borg cube event, where the players all gang up hitting the cube gaining loot in the process

#

that would also privide a relief to the smaller players

#

the idea being the cube can only destroy one ship every 5 seconds or so, random targeting. so theirs a great chance of attacking and doing damage without actually being hit and getting away with the loot

ornate nymph Feb 19, 2019, 10:01 AM

#

thanks for the suggestions 😃

plain roost Feb 19, 2019, 11:52 AM

#

@ornate nymph Some effort went in that last response to what everyone wanted to discuss with you over the last few days ... well done 👍

cold kite Feb 19, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

@kindred falcon there are actually 3 of them, the low version, the epic version, and the one you encounter during missions

#

and scotty cannot be tied to the base either, he might be on the ship, so who is reparing them if scotty is assigned to other ships that are not docked ?

#

furthermore, repairs are done by repair drones, they could be on multiple docks at once, so nothing against the ability to repair more ships at once, even if it would be due to a premium research

#

@alpine oasis , about pvp, we already suggested to change pvp making the change from level based to power based, e.g. limit the lowest power you may attack to perhaps be 70 or 80% of the attackers power

#

bare power without taking skills into account, the skills then could still make it a challenge to win or not

weary vault Feb 19, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

Would that be for ship/ship only, or base cracking as well?

cold kite Feb 19, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

different percentages on those perhaps

#

the current system is simply unfair, and this would base it a little better

#

if the base stands a possible chance against the attack and the hit rate of cannons etc would be taken into account, then why not ?

#

the range is way too high now

weary vault Feb 19, 2019, 12:47 PM

#

One of my guys got his base cracked by a player 6 lvls above him, due to the powe differential at lvl 20+ my guy didn't stand a chance

cold kite Feb 19, 2019, 12:47 PM

#

yes, thats why I propose this change

#

don't make it level based, make it power based

#

and only care about the minimum power you may attack, if you are choosing someone that is way higher, it's your own fault

#

If I am 17 and have a ship I can crack a 22 player with, then why not lemme try and complain about target level too high?

weary vault Feb 19, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

My server is trying to alleviate the number of rage quits due to higher level p2w players targeting the lower level f2p players

cold kite Feb 19, 2019, 12:52 PM

#

all they need to do is to do a stat on the last_login timestamps

#

scopely can run those numbers, but I know for sure, those are kept locked away for us in order not to ruin their 'perfect' image in public

We've even put our own code of conduct forward to crack down on discrimination in chats

cold kite Feb 19, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

look at all the systems with players just hanging around

#

there is no decent moderation

#

and actually, @ornate nymph feature request to pass on: disable profanity filter in settings

minor fern Feb 19, 2019, 12:55 PM

Tbf... ingame moderation of inactives is hard to do.
