Yups, totally would get behind that

nocturne lantern
#

They need to do something because these events are becoming a bit repetitive, rewards could also include blueprints for faction ships based on the players level, it could also contain the much saught after uncommon and rare materials

versed summit
#

They need to allow colour change players so can set war to one colour allies to another colour etc
They need to drop the rrs trade between players to a usuable lvl to allow teams to work more closer and help each other etc
And if a ship pack is avalable for one lvl player shouldnt all be able to get it as i miss out becasue i rushed to 19 ? Thats sillyiest thing i have ever herd lol but i guess it dosnt allow big spenders to own the game on but wait they can lol

vapid crypt
#

PTW players attacking low level players should not be allowed. Make it same level at least for a better experience or make neutral zones peacezones

sand compass
#

Looking at it from a business standpoint you cant limit it by player level. It's to restrictive. It encourages people not to level.

#

Maybe some kind of power curve although that could be easy to exploit

austere sable
#

An attack system based on power would be better than based on level.

#

1k power to 20k.. 21k to 30k .. 31k to 45k etc...

sand compass
#

It cant be that strict. Would be easy to fine tune a ship to be at the very top of one or several levels.

austere sable
#

it all depends on the power circle 30k is able to take out 40k using the power buff

#

and certain officers

I love the game, it has some great features. But there seems to be no real strategy, just who is the stronger level, just basically a bully game. The battles are one on one. This is too much of an advantage to the strong, no smarts involved. It would be amazing if smaller ships could team up to equal the strength or powers of larger ship. This would encourage team work. Then nee players and small Alliances could compete. It would be more fun for everyone even the higher levels. More challenging for everyone, and more fun. these three or four ship teams would act as a large ship, they could not attack everyone small levels. Maybe last only 10 minutes. Or have special ship powers that you could pick from: shield ship, tractor beam ship, explosive mine laying ship, etc.... instead of who's got the biggest stick, who's got the smartest team.....

sturdy mountain
#

A tractor beam to move people off nodes rather than just destroy them...

copper brook
#

Haha nice

tidal sierra
#

oh i just thought of a great idea. a player within 2 lvls of an ally can sacrifice his ships to create the shield needed for his offline buddy, and you can't use your ships or remove them until your buddy releases you or 24 hrs pass

#

@cold kite how's this for a suggestion? 👆 lol

Fix the fuking game...

tidal sierra

trust me that is number one on their list lol

#

Why dont we get the game fixed before we start making suggestions on what content could/should be added

pliant rampart
#

Great ideas here. Based on the lack of new players I see, if they don't change something, the game is goin to slowly end. Being hit constantly by high level players and struggling to advance isn't fun....

#

P2W is gross...

#

Game needs a friends list in chat... A favorites list for systems... This game has so much potential, dont queer it up with p2w.

Idea: new point system “honor”. Honor is gained by attacking PvP opponents stronger or higher level than you, lost when attacking lower level opponents. Also gained Destroying hostiles. But losing to a lower level enemy also takes away some honor.

#

Higher honor can bring higher rewards from daily chests, better faction rewards, more opportunities in faction events. Exclusive quest lines. Low honor can have its own special quest lines as well.

#

There can also be exceptions to the gain or loss of honor - attacking an idle mining ship on a 0 mine would neither award nor subtract honor. Being attacked by a inferior target and winning would also not award honor.

#

I feel this “honor” could help balance the game, encourage high level players to go after other high level players and not to trample newer players trying to get started. It would also encourage players to follow quest lines and faction stories. It also opens up more opportunities for low level vs low level pvp action

#

And it fits the Star Trek storylines - all three factions have a strong sense of honor and loyalty. In fact to better align the factions with this idea we could call it “honor” for Klingon, “loyalty” for romulan, and “integrity” for federation.

Can the alliance internal ranking system be modified, so that the admiral and commodore's can modify what permissions ranks have?

@ornate nymph @nocturne lantern This mega mining event has given up the opportunity to check player levels on the founding server since S1 & S2 were merged back at the beginning of November, 2018. In the last 4 months, due to the server being fenced off from being allow to be populated with new players, over 6/7 (or if you like percentages, 85%+) of the active player base on the server have quit. That is, at the time of the merge there were over 3.5k active players. Total active players today is only 545 and still dropping. What is Scopely prepared to do to fix this crisis for it's most loyal players that have stuck with you right through the last 2 years of the beta development period?

@ornate nymph How about we unscrew the refineries and produce the G3 materials needed commensurate with upgrades or fix the ridiculously extravagant upgrade costs. You guys know that you are forcing people into a paywall and for a F2P game that's just not cool. You have players with credit cards that can stupidly buy their way to an enterprise and ruin a server for those that cant dump a kids college fund to try and compete or protect themselves. I have no idea how this is legal. You also need to break the packs down into smaller chunks at cheaper prices so everyone can afford them and widen the purchasing base. Also Latinum is advertised as being used for rare items. So far I've not been able to purchase a single uncommon or rare G2 or G3 RSS. When will this be fixed?

@ornate nymph
Combining shields.
can be with a penalty if you want. like:
3x 2h shields = 1x 4h shield.
4x 8h shield = 1x 24h shield.
4x 1d shield = 1x 3day shield.
8x 1d shield = 1x 7day shield.
etc..

@plain roost It doesn't sound like anything can be done. When you give players such a MASSIVELY imbalanced advantage towards the rest of the servers out there, who in their right mind would be asking to merge those players with the rest of the servers? Especially, since our uncommon and rare RSS has been choked off to where we can't even refine resources necessary to get anywhere near founder levels. to compete or protect the rest of us. It would take years to catch up and it would be like throwing hangry pitbulls in a yard with five year old kids.

nocturne lantern
#

they should have put the jelly for missions not $$$ cause everyone who spent a ton during those pack sales gained a lot vs those that didn't put any down I'm tired of 300k ships hitting me when I have a 20k ship

cold kite
#

like 90% of the stuff I read here has already been suggested

#

added for the same reason as why you want that tractor beam

#

friends list etc are probably also in the list

#

you folks are suggesting the same stuff over and over again, even if they are known

#

if the suits don't want it yet, they don't want it, and asking it over and over again is simply a waste of your time as it won't help

copper brook
#

Maybe if we annoy JB enough then they'll do it

#

Also this and the surveys are the only official feedback routes so no one knows what other people have suggested (other than your tracker and my Reddit post which not many people know about)

#

I hope with the new community manager, something is put in place to see all our suggestions. Hopefully they speak about it during the qna this week

cold kite
#

@copper brook no they won't

#

the tracker and probably your source are declared 'unofficial' feedback sources they are willing to look at

#

what needs to be done in order to get our stuff through is deprive them from what they want until we got what we want

#

only then the suits will listen

#

as long as they are getting plenty, things will hardly change, and if, it will be low prioritized

#

money rules, period

copper brook
#

Well they better upgrade their visibility in general, because no one other than them has any idea what they're doing

cold kite
#

working on that

#

first let's improve support by having them read tickets decently

#

so ppl get decent answers

copper brook
#

If people knew, for example, dead mines were slotted for next release or refinery rates people would hold on a little longer. But current state is blind unfounded hope, based on their track record it Doest look good

#

Meh

cold kite
#

then another thing, trying to make them understand that they should refund resources, if the damage is caused by a bug, a user has no way of working around

copper brook
#

Support sucks because they're outsourced for cheap, likely not going to change

cold kite
#

for example attacks while shields are up = bug = refund the stolen resources

#

well, CSL does want to improve things, at least thats what she told me

#

I will talk to the CSL about perhaps setting up a post-only category where only CSL/Admins could see the tickets off, where users could post issues with support getting the wrong answers while the request should be obvious

#

so she can see what crap agents reply sometimes in order to address it

#

based on some replies I got myself, there is a lot that needs to change there

#

as I said more often here, ppl rather want a decent reply a little later, then a quick crap reply

inner nova
#

I must disagree somehow with the last point you raise @cold kite , since I'm struggling with a similar issue myself as of now. Yes, a comprehensive and complete answer is better. But, since it's a game running 24/7 with timed competitive events, the answer must be fast as well. A late refund is not always as helpful as it should be (say, if it comes only after some event ended)

cold kite
#

they don't even have a decent refund policy, and the officials from scopely themself are nowhere to be found during the weekend

#

so fast decent answers in the weekend is something you can forget at the current way scopely handles it's stuff

tidal sierra
#

COULD THE FACTION LOYALTY CHEST ALSO BE 22 HR PLEASE 😄

#

good one actually

tidal sierra

you just submitted it?

filed it, CSL promised they have a regular look at it 😉

yay i helped lol

#

@ornate nymph how about balancing the faction ships? Oh my god. I had to fight off a 524k Mayflower with my 400k D3 and after 6 friggin tries I pulled my 330K Kumari out of the garage to help. It took a total of 9 fully repaired ships to kill one freakin Mayflower!!! Are you kidding me? All the time and investment and the D3 is just like the Khera... useless. The faction starter ships should be classified the same as the G3's. Interceptor, explorer and battleship all in the same order. The imbalance in this game keeps getting worse.

unborn tangle
#

Can We have more lev 3 ressources because there not enough for everyone

sonic vessel
#

D3 is off triangle to mayflower tho @ocean wadi and sounds like mayflower a lot higher tiered.

The question here is what did we expect from scopely with a few packs spent on a ship. Id say not much. Suggest you dont buy again and save for 28 faction ship. They are much better

#

I do hear your pain tho, believe me.

plain roost
#

@ocean wadi @ornate nymph @nocturne lantern Think of it this way.... Over half the active players on the founding server are in the top 3 alliances. One alliance (ROG) alone spans across 3 alliances in-game (ROG, ROGS, ROGZ). By not injecting new players into the server, Scopely is effectively turning their backs on the very players that helped them get to the launch state that all other players are benefiting from. This should be a big concern to those players who are not on the founding server. This is not a problem that the players should be facing and something that Scopely is obligated to fixing.

plain roost
#

PS: ROG, please don't take my comments as a personal attack, as that is not what is intended... It's to highlight the seriousness of lack of players in our game, that is all...

modest goblet
#

They arent obligated to do anything

plain roost
#

@modest goblet you sound worried that you'll be merged with us

modest goblet
#

Not at all. Since all the servers will be failing du to glitches and bugs

plain roost
#

@modest goblet your statement is very naive and short sighted

weary flare
#

I'd like to propose a suggestion. that your vessels could automatically go back to home station when they have filled their cargo whilst mining.

modest goblet
#

I'm not being naive at all. Tell me how many people have quit playing across all servers?

#

That answer would be about 25%

plain roost
#

I think that you under estimate ... churn is quite high, what stops the other launch servers from dying off like the founding server is that they're not fenced off from new players joining.

weary flare
#

they have to sort out the issue about the network connection. it's starting to get really annoying. when you are in the midst of doing a mission or whatever and the connection goes down. get it fixed!!

plain roost
weary flare
#

OK. Sorry

modest goblet
#

@plain roost to retain players and grow the population of players you have to have a game that's not full of bugs and glitches that dont get addressed

#

Not to mention adding new content that adds more bugs and glitches

plain roost
#

@modest goblet You're obviously not on our server and your comments are not constructive to the issue at hand. So I respectfully request that you desist from being counter productive and augmentative to the issue at hand and offer more positive suggestions

copper brook
#

Where are you pulling your numbers for active players?

plain roost
copper brook
#

Yeah I read that, but where did you get those numbers?

#

not 100% accurate lol yeah a little

modest goblet
copper brook
#

They'll never admit to dying servers so it's anyone's guess

plain roost
#

@copper brook no they won;'t.
@modest goblet you're painfully negative to the point of being offensive

copper brook
#

Offense is a choice my dude

#

This discord is chock full of salt

modest goblet
#

You said they have to do something. By their own terms of service that you and everyone one else that plays agreed to when we downloaded it they dont.

copper brook
#

Hahhahahahaa

#

Oh fart. You make me laugh

modest goblet
#

All I did is state fact and now you are threatening me

copper brook
#

Nope, but I do think you're ridiculous

modest goblet
#

You should really read their terms of service

plain roost
#

I have read them ... you sound like you work for them

modest goblet
#

I dont but I have made several games

plain roost
#

This is not a new conversation as stated above... with the Q&A in a couple of days, we're just bringing the discussion public prior to the event

#

Then if you have you understand the "churn rate" and "customer delight" metrics

At this point a moderator should probably get involved

Ah so much more intelligence when someone gets blocked

Can they make leagues and events VIP and NON-VIP, this would give the free players a chance to win some of the good stuff

@ornate nymph can we get the option to link our accounts to say FB. so i can swap between my Iphone and android phone.

cold kite
#

@weary flare not sure what you define as network issues, are you getting crashes? what are you using?

#

and they do admit to dying servers, thats why there was a merge already

sand compass
#

Merges are a bandaid though. If you dont fix the underlying issues the merged server will die quickly as well

copper brook
#

I really hope they don't merge into my server. It's actually somewhat peaceful atm

#

@copper brook founder/beta ?

copper brook
#

Not that I'm aware of haha. Started in Dec personally so idk

cold kite
#

nope, release

tidal sierra
#

wait i started in november what's mine?

copper brook
#

probably release

#

I think it came out in Nov

tidal sierra
#

so you just started late then?

copper brook
#

Ya

cold kite
#

release was nov 2017

#

everything who played before is beta

copper brook
#

Did they re release it 2018?

cold kite

around one year after the announcement of the deal with CBSi

Do an event that is basically an alliance “King of the Hill” competition with objectives to hold in 10 systems

#

ya right

although the game itself exists since 31 juli 1999

#

slighlty different name, same goals

hollow silo
#

Make the Northstar cargo hold larger.

cold kite
#

it is intended to be like that 😦

#

even got a lengthy explanation somewhere as of why

#

it's just that the model shown, does not agree with that explanation

#

The NORTH STAR is the new ship that specialized in mining 3★ Crystal, Ore, and Gas.
It is fast, with Warp Speed comparable to the Vahklas and Impulse similar to the Kehra. Add to this its mining speed bonus (Tier 1 is 550%) and gathering those precious 3★ just got a whole lot quicker.

#

However, to maintain its speed in mining G3 Resources, The NORTH STAR has sacrificed some of its Cargo limit. It is normal to notice that this ship's cargo is lower than your other mining ship.

#

Overall, this is a great ship that allows you quicker access to those sweet Grade 3 resources.

Got buried in chatter, want to re-table and discuss: A new point system “honor”. Honor is gained by attacking PvP opponents stronger or higher level than you, lost when attacking lower level opponents. Also gained Destroying hostiles. But losing to a lower level enemy also takes away some honor. Higher honor can bring higher rewards from daily chests, better faction rewards, more opportunities in faction events. Exclusive quest lines. Low honor can have its own special quest lines as well. There can also be exceptions to the gain or loss of honor - attacking an idle mining ship on a 0 mine would neither award nor subtract honor. Being attacked by a inferior target and winning would also not award honor.

copper brook
#

Or just you get more from higher you get less from 3 levels lower and 0 from 4

main bolt
#

I feel this “honor” could help balance the game, encourage high level players to go after other high level players and not to trample newer players trying to get started. It would also encourage players to follow quest lines and faction stories. It also opens up more opportunities for low level vs low level pvp action. And it fits the Star Trek storylines - all three factions have a strong sense of honor and loyalty. In fact to better align the factions with this idea we could call it “honor” for Klingon, “loyalty” for romulan, and “integrity” for federation.

copper brook
#

Losing honor for low wontvever happem

main bolt
#

Obviously the point system would need some serious thought. How many points? What is the scale? But basic idea is more points for more struggle.

#

There could be a “avenge” thing worked in - if someone killed your miner and you bring your heavy battle cruiser back to smash them, it won’t negatively affect you.

copper brook
#

Definitely in general, you should get less reward from killing lower players

#

Atm it's the same, leading to whales mowing the grass Every day. And we're the grass

main bolt
#

I’m kinda thinking: 1 point for every level higher, 1 point for “normal” 2 for “hard”, 4 for “very hard”, and a winning bonus of a point. Plus if the ship class has a disadvantage (explorer attacking battle) then another bonus point.

#

Maybe the scale needs adjusted, but it’s a start.

#

And whales generally eat krill or fish. Cows, goats, Buffalo, etc eat grass.

#

@copper brook sorry, had to, the metaphor was just a little off.

copper brook
#

Lol yeah but krill don't get fat

main bolt
#

Exactly. We are krill.

copper brook
#

I don't want Scopely to associate us with skinny krill

main bolt
#

We get swallowed up by the whale before we can get fat.

copper brook
#

We already starving

main bolt
#

Well, a system to reward “good” players and punish “evil” players would help. And I think this could be it.

#

It could be compared to paragon from mass effect. Except different.

cold kite
#

yes, that scale is broken in some cases 😉

#

not taking buffs or research into account while doing the math

main bolt
#

It would take spreadsheets of different variables. And a list of exceptions. And I’m sure it would take some beta testing and tweaking.

cold kite
#

just gimme the code, and I can fill that table for ya 😛

modest goblet
#

That would work if there wasnt pay ships. But you can have a lvl 15 with a 100k+ ship clearing entire systems on some servers

weary badger
#

no real diffference to a lvl20 clearing entire systems with a 100k+ ship

modest goblet
#

I know of 2 ways to take care of that. The first would be get rid of pay ships (this will never happen) and the second is to put a max strength of ship each lvl can fly (more likely to happen)

weary badger
#

the shipyard restriction will already be reducing this issue, but isnt stopping anyone who has a super ship already

#

they will level up, and find the northstar is a space pinata

#
  1. Make G2* materials mean somethething at higher levels.
#
  1. add more 2* ships.
#
  1. fix mining bonuses + broken nodes.
#

1a. Decrease G3 by 25% + add need for G2 by something like 50%... that way mining nodes are not locked up by same players.

#

2a. A ship with like 10% hunter ability to pair with the Vel/Shev/Gaila for some serious farming.

#

ship should tier up in the shipyard or hangar and not take up a drydock for nearly a month, also should be able to receive alliance help for boosting speed

cold kite
#

already had that last part

#

and why does a dock look like if it can accept 5 ships ?

nocturne lantern
#

would be logical to use the shipyard/ship building slot

vocal jewel
#

It would be nice if we could place Tier 1 and Tier 2 ships on the other 4 spots on the dock for additional defense

It’s also quite stupid how you can only repair one ship at a time when you have multiple docks

@ornate nymph if the team is unable to figure out how to fix useless mines can we at least get the mining dailies lowered?

Being able to decommission ships for material rss latinum upgrades and blueprints for other ships... bark

Great idea...I'm surprised nobody else has suggested it yet...

brazen locust
#

Making Salvage ships to do Salvage for destroyed PVP hard to git Blueprints and materials...

wooden wadi
#

I have a serious suggestion to improve the game play....i would like to have the possibility to classify other alliances into friends (green), neutral (yellow) and at war (red). Having said this, it should be impossible to attack friends in the game...that would make the gameplay much better, avoid crashes at mining places, and will put diplo to a new level.

#

Right now, all alli members need always to check the alli home page to see who can be attacked, and who not

#

A system like that would be a milestone in this game

brazen locust
#

Give alliances the ability to create a ship yard for Alliances members to have access to a special class ship with the alliance... in addition a Alliance salvage yard for decommissioned ships and help other alliance members upgrade with badly needed upgrades and materials... bark

#

Make it where if ship gets destroyed more than five times you will need additionally blueprints and materials to rebuild that ship in ship yard... in addition the newly rebuilt ship will have more powerful hull upgrades and Weaponry upgrades available... bark

wooden wadi

Wouldbe enough to allow parking on your mates bases....for better defense

Yes but with a cost in latinum or other rare materials to do that...

Or just parking on an alliance mates base if you are away from home and want to not be destroyed.

I don't think it's been missed, JB is probably catching up on stuff a la 'mondays' , but likely they're already tracking the numbers

Hopefully we'll start seeing them introduced in stuff, like events/dailies/quests ect, but they put in inplace pretty dang quick

austere sable
#

still no answer to my question on where information is stored as to upcoming events and implementation and rejection of ideas suggested, we need chanel on here with these snippets of information so we don't remain clueless as to whats going on @dusky rock @glossy topaz

dusky rock
#

@austere sable we dont know about events before you do either.

#

Implementing ideas is a keenser thing, not a mod thing love.

#

But I can ask JB when he gets on later

austere sable
#

thankyou at least i know you are listening to us even if you can't make any changes

dusky rock
#

We are always watching lovely. Serious issues we escalate, questions we answer to the best of our knowledge. I will ask for you, but official announcements is kinda what you asked for.

modest goblet
#

It's all up to the devs on what info they are going to put out and when

#

So far they havent really been forthcoming with that info

austere sable
#

@modest goblet I know that much what i don't know is where do they put it , and can they announce it earlier so we can comment before the deadline

dusky rock
austere sable
#

about 24hrs before which gives no time to research or formulate any strategy

dusky rock
#

I understand. Im sure Jb gives the info when he gets it too. Not an easy job he has

austere sable
#

It needs to be at least one month in advance

#

jb is doing an excellent job as you all are

dusky rock
#

This is not enough notice?

modest goblet
#

Other games have an event calendar and I'm sure if the game survives long enough it will as well

dusky rock
#

Was posted last friday

austere sable
#

no it has no details

dusky rock
#

The battle might be over, but the war is just beginning. Prepare your crew and base for an upcoming invasion. Act of War is coming soon...

austere sable
#

who is the invasion by . another server? hostile faction forces, have the bugs from the part one been fixed? i could ask a lot of question s but i need to have some information first

dusky rock
#

So from that snippet, I deduce that it will either be a pvp event or a hostile event

#

So, I prepare my base, ships crew for said thing.

#

There will be no cross server events love. Its not built for that.

austere sable
#

unless they have fixed the problem of higher levels atticking lower level ships then the same people are going to winning the event again and it seems pointless to take part in it

modest goblet
#

That's kinda what's been going on the same people winning each event because they can take basically everyone on the server

dusky rock
#

We have the same on my server too. I understand the frustration with the pvp levels, wish it would go back to +-5

austere sable
#

the events need to be structured to compensate for different power levels

#

and i agree +-5 on power is an ideal solution to pvp

dusky rock
#

Its kind of entertaining, we used to complain that it was +-5. Never know what you’ve got till its gone I guess. Lol

modest goblet
#

That would work they could also do what some other games do and allow you to migrate to other servers with a migration item and it's based off where you land in the top 50 or 100 strength on how any items you need to be able to migrate

it’s extremely disappointing to grind so hard to hit Consort and then get slapped with these drop rates for faction ships. any bp awards or credit help for hitting a new reputation level would be a nice reward for working so hard

i've had 30yrs experience in rpg and a vast majority of the games i've played have a +-5 lvl cap in placeand at least 70% seperate vip and non vip

dusky rock
#

@hybrid fern drop rate? Is it not guaranteed as it says? Or did I miss something

hybrid fern
#

true it’s not rng but the credit cost per bp

dusky rock
#

Oooh

flint dirge
#

if you grinded that much why dont you have several thousand credits already?

hybrid fern
#

i did the math that’s $500 if i wanted that ship right now. after graining so hard

dusky rock
#

Are you in hivemind Kremz? We have the list of all fed faction missions that may help

hybrid fern
#

i had 3K credits stored up that got me 15 bps

austere sable
#

according to that each saladin blueprint costs 200 so for 200.000 creds you have a saladin

hybrid fern
#

17K MORE fed credits to get to 100

#

yep you’re right. and each $100 fed pack comes with enough for 18 bps, and change. so $500 more from my 15/100 currently

thanks @dusky rock i’ll check it out

As an Admeril of an alliance, it would be great to have more space to write things in the Alliance Announcements to communicate with our members better.

Here's an idea that would be great. Have it set up to where you can mark friend and ally so that you wouldn't have to keep writing it down. That would make the game more user friendly as well as more entertaining.

What's going to happen to the player bases that have quit the game?

supple radish
#

I raised the issue of player bases a while ago, I see so many lvl 14s that have quit and they have millions in loot..... its a crying shame, I suggested that after so long abandoned bases become npc controled, they generate resources like everyone else they slowly lvl up (independently of the resources they have) and they can then be raided by players.

#

Here’s a suggestion: how about an alert when your shield has less than 10 min remaining so you can throw another on before it expires if you are busy? We have some alliances that just sit in our system and watch shields and as soon as they go down they pop the bases

copper brook
#

^ that'd be cool

muted ether
#

Could you please lower the amount of uncommon stuff so us lower lvls can actually upgrade our ships to compete against the higher levels

cold kite
#

does not include your notification part

#

but essentially the same

plain roost
#

@ocean sleet Why not simply use a multi-alarm app?

ocean sleet
#

My app only alerts for mining/attacks and half the time the alerts aren’t correct. Such as when warehouse is full etc (mine is always full) or when a node is at 0 (I’ll still have 1,000 to mine etc).

cold kite
#

@ocean sleet he means, set an alarm in your clock

copper brook
#

Yeah notifications are a bit inconsistent atm. I should set up a multi alarm app for mining/shields etc tho

ocean sleet
#

That’s kinda dumb to you use your alarm clock. I already have half a dozen alarms for work schedule etc so no thanks. They could easily put it in the game as a notification. That way I would see it on my Apple Watch and be able to just pop in and add one

copper brook
#

Eh, gotta do what you gotta do

#

Timers work for me until notifications are fixed

cold kite
#

notifications are broken on ios for some devices

#

@nocturne lantern please add GMT times to those pinned messages (19:00 - 20:00)

timid verge
#

Please create a confirm screen before we spend uncommon materials. One wrong click sets a player back by weeks.

copper brook
#

Latinum has the same, accidentally spent 100 (which at the time was a ton)

narrow breach
#

The game could desperately use a button that allows you to have your ship automatically kill hostiles in a system. Please refer to Ragnarok Mobile for an example of this. The ship would essentially just go a automatically attack the nearest hostile repeatedly until the button is turned off or the ship dies.

#

this would create another passive way to collect resources and be a small step towards fixing the badly broken basic rss economy

#

It would also add a new dynamic for PVP, as these auto farmers would be a ripe target for other ships to attack in pvp

hollow mist
#

For alerts, could we have some indication in game that the refinery is ready for another batch even if it's 6 red/green dots on the main screen

low island
#

offering a server with public APIs for ingame data could drive community pages to have a real benefit.
Using the time while waiting for the ships to repair and code some UI widgets which help to e.g. plan the officers, station upgrades, alliance overview, optimal research paths and required ressources even before having fullfilled all requirements etc.

cold kite
#

making an api available will push the resources needed in order to facilitate it quite a lot

#

then other stuff like rate limiting etc also has to be taken into account

#

it's probably something they will consider once it's finally stable

#

decent alliance management is also on the list of requested features, for the rest of your needs, I suggest to take a look at hivemind

opal radish
#

I think it would be great if we could save officer assignments for each ship instead of redoing them when we change ships

cold kite
#

will add that crewset request

#

although it can be quite complex, perhaps you want a common crewmember on multiple sets

#

and should it be per ship, shiptype etc

dire imp
#

Can we get a "rewards preview" similar to what event reward tiers have, but for faction store items and the new daily chest contents?

cold kite
#

@dire imp it would contain only 'Chance of' items, as it is random

hidden lion
#

Stop stealing from us and please Remove the instant repair option!

dire imp
#

@cold kite the faction recruit packs have a fixed reward (500 recruit tokens), but you won't know what it is until you buy it. The commendation and other packs are maybe more random, I wouldn't know because I don't want to buy them blind. The daily reward packs should not be random.

#

The March daily pack for $20, $50, $100 are mostly opaque. They did a preview with some free tokens but I already forgot what was in there. Typically when I spend money I like to know what I'm buying.

tidal sierra
#

don't buy the commendation packs, it is only a badge and a mission in the future will ask you to buy them

Have the ability to help alliance members defend their bases by docking at their base. It is impossible to defend an organized attack from an alliance. There needs to be a counter to this. Especially if they are away and cannot put up a Shield.

deft verge
#

I sent this question to a Dev and they invited me here. So does anyone else think this a decent suggestion? Question??? I spent a decent amount of time and money playing this game. I want to say I really do enjoy playing and have no issues spend money on a game like this that is entertaining. The only issue I have at the moment is I missed some significant events. The Jellyfish event in particular. What is the chance of bringing it back to give us who we missed it a chance to acquire this ship. More often than not I have someone totally destroy me who is 5 levels lower (I’m level 19 atm) because their ship(Jellyfish) is 40k+ compared to my 20k. And that’s a lvl 15 player. Someone my level it’s even higher. By reintroducing it for player who missed the event, you not only make the playing field more fair and keeps players like me playing, but it’s also a chance to make more money for you guys. Honestly I have no issue playing for it or when I’m short, paying for it. I just think this is a good opportunity for both us players and you as a company to both benefit.

tidal sierra
#

@deft verge so far everytime the jellyfish is brought back it is only for lvl 18 and below. however by lvl 20 it is too weak compared to the ships available at 20 and up

upper agate
#

yeah i just crossed the lvl 18 barrier when it was reintroduced. and missed about 20 parts. Bummer

#

Until what lvl is the North Star event when it happens?

deft verge
#

@tidal sierra

upper agate
#

Those lvl15's have been on lvl 15 for a long time then. Some people slow their progress so they are strong for their lvl. Sure it's rediculous, but don't underestimate the time that they spent before lvl 14 mining and mining without being destroyed by high lvl players

tidal sierra
#

they must've bought the upgrade packs and other packs, those stats are pretty much the same for me when i was 19

deft verge
#

Maybe so. All I’m asking is for the opportunity to also have access to the same ships the way they did. I done the quest but as we all know you fall way short of the parts needed. Otherwise I can’t play the game when nothing in my inventory stands a chance. Mining becomes next to impossible and forget trying to hit a base with stock ships. But it was just a suggestion.

tidal sierra
#

i understand, at the first event i coudln't complete the event to gain all jellyfish bp's, so then i decided to rush to lvl 20 only to discover that the next event disqualified me from getting more jellyfish bp's

modest goblet
#

I think alot of us would have stayed at lvl 17 till we had the prints for the jellyfish if we had known that the event was only for those lvl 11 to lvl 17

trail dove
#

Is this fair gameplay? Please explain cuz I don’t understand your metrics.

spark adder
#

@trail dove it happens, but there are things you can do

trail dove
#

This shouldn’t happen. There’s need to be a better balance. Example Wold of Warships.

honest talon
#

avoid mining is all I can think of

spark adder
#

Well, the first thing to do is convo the dude in a non-whining manner

#

The second is to engage in alliance diplo negotiations for possible treaties

trail dove
#

You’ve never talked to the Bord have you 😂

spark adder
#

Finally there are a couple retaliatory measures

trail dove
#

Borg

spark adder
#

All servers have their versions of alliances that throw around weight

#

The two retaliatory measures that come to mind are to 1- farm their lower level miners into oblivion

#

2- use realtas to prevent ships like that from going anywhere

trail dove
#

Realtas?

spark adder
#

yep

#

very cheap, very fast and cost nothing to repair

trail dove
#

Please elaborate.

spark adder
#

A dozen or so can continually hit them to effectively prevent them from moving

#

Repair and hit again

vocal jewel
#

Unless the alliance goes for your station

spark adder
#

Same method you use to defend against base attacks from higher levels (other than shielding)

#

@vocal jewel if a person's base gets attacked- that one person pops a short shield and chills

vocal jewel
#

Yes but they have to pop shield before sending out any more Realtas to attack

spark adder
#

The realta counter is not a one player method. You need a number of them

vocal jewel
#

Yep, comes down to numbers

spark adder
#

You wouldn't pop a shield before attacking.

#

and 12 or more dudes would be enough

vocal jewel
#

Assuming the other guy doesn't have backup

spark adder
#

If that alliance is that much of an issue- you shouldn't have any problems getting a coalition together.

#

Who cares if he has backup. The backup can do nothing

vocal jewel
#

Backup will prevent a Realta blockade

spark adder
#

No they won't. Unless they are smart and get into a lower tier ship that's faster. And they would need a lot

#

If they try to attack realtas, the one under attack burns away. They are too fast to catch and you pull the backup away from the swarm

trail dove
#

Thank you for the advice. However in my opinion A level 28 should not be able to hit 20 if level 20 can’t hit 15

vocal jewel
#

Would still be kinda slow but they will advance

spark adder
#

The idea is to make it as annoying and as horrible as possible

trail dove
#

The idea is to upset people so they spend money to upgrade and retaliate. 😂

spark adder
#

With enough, you will freeze them in place and there is nothing they can do.

vocal jewel
#

Not even recall?

spark adder
#

Upgrading is the least helpful counter to realtas

#

A recall still has a 5sec spool up for warp

#

Which, if you';ve ever let a killer npc get too close before recalling after farming npc's- you've probably found out

trail dove
#

That five second is questionable. I sat beside someone who attacked someone and I soon as I went in for the kill I couldn’t because he warped away. I was one second away.

#

Gotta run

#

Thanks again everyone for your advice

spark adder
#

You have to be right on top. The combat doesn't initiate exactly immediately and server lag comes into play

#

Have a good one

flint dirge
#

The realta trick is very real and very good. There are no ships baseline that are faster than it. It's even closer to free to repair than the fortunate

spark adder
#

yep

#

Don't knock farming their miners either. that works as well

#

and the realta method can also be maddening for miners. you can prevent them from burning to a node

flint dirge
#

Mmhmm. Big players need to mine just as bad as you do :)

spark adder
#

yep. and if you get smart- you take away their primary income- your base

deft verge
#

Again please remind me how the Jellies are under powered? And yeah level 15.

#

Sorry I mean too weak.

vocal jewel
#

The Jelly is meant to be more powerful than the regular Tier 2 ships. But it is weak against Tier 3 ships and even a decently powerful battleship like my 32k Talla can take it down

deft verge
#

Yeah but this is a lvl 15 player with a almost 40k ship. How are other players his same lvl even supposed to compete? And regardless it’s still a pretty good backup ship to have even with tier 3 ships in your inventory. And as I posted earlier, guys that are lvl 18 and 19 are rocking mid 40 or higher ships. Little lopsided if you ask me.

minor fern
#

I dom't think a maxed out talla can stand toe to toe against a maxed out jelly. ^_^

deft verge
#

^^^^

vocal jewel
minor fern
#

I mean evem with the bonus damage to explorers i've seen jellies go up to 60k ^_^

#

Sorta like yours. 😂😂😂

vocal jewel
#

But a 32k Talla may be able to stand up against a 39k Jelly because of the combat triangle

final dagger
#

if the talla could catch the jelly

deft verge
#

Lol Admiral you make my point. I have no issues with people having them. Just let everyone have access and the ability to level it up.

empty swallow
#

It’s great for a time. If your level 16-19 it helps to gather rss and get to mission above your levels. But once you get a Kehra leveled up it starts to become irrelevant. At 22 I don’t use it any longer but it was great to get a jump in on those levels.

split tinsel
#

We have a lvl 14 guy on our server with a 90k northstar who wont level up, but just clears systems all day every day. He's like 10th or 11th on the power destroyed, above some level 30+ folks

waxen talon
#

Suggestion : add notification for when peace shield is about to expire, maybe like 5 or 10 min before expiration

sharp oracle
#

Can you improve the daily goals. Rewards are pointless really when you get the same for level 22 as you do on low levels. 9k trit doesn't make any sort of dent in what is needed.

nocturne lantern
#

@austere sand combat training mission rewards need tweaking to include tritanium as well as dilithium. Don't gget me wrong millions of dilithium is great and all but a little tritanium in there to cover the cost of repairs would be good too.

When you put a shield on your base it should add to the one you currently have on, not replace it.

#

I saw the suggestion to set commanders to ships automatically. I think it would be better to have a dropdown with 5 options that you set up yourself which contain premade bridge commanders. Then add an auto add function that will automatically add officers not already in use to the crew spots that are best in slot for that ship.

cold kite
#

and autoselect would defeat the purpose of a fleet commanders task, he should decide what he considers the best crew for that ship

half fjord
#

Sweet thanks

hidden siren
#

@austere sand Idea, Miners not count toward PVP record for commanders

cold kite
#

@hidden siren why not ? it's still pvp

hidden siren
#

is it really? Looking at it as an Admiral of an alliance I wouldn't want miner data in my evaluation of a commander by their PVP ratio.

#

Really I think it has not valuable data because it includes miners.. worthless for bragging rights, not valuable for Commander Evaluation, other than filling a spot on the profile I see no real purpose for it. Might be better to be shown as a power\to power destroyed average. where it is a running average based on your current power and the player power destroyed .

#

so if a player of power say 195K hits a player at 40k their PVP average would be 0.20. this average would then be average over all the battles.. this I find valuable information.. it would show to me as and Admiral the true PVP nature of the player

#

and having a positive PVP average would be real bragging rights

cold kite
#

it's a ship you put in use, and even a survey ship can be used for battle

#

still makes it pvp, so it should count

hidden siren
#

thats fine then go to a PVP Player power\Op Power average.. its still worthless data as it is

I am level 17 with a NS since level 15, I use that survery ship mostly for battle

Is it really pvp when all you do is tool around with three 300k+ warships obliterating envoys? No it's not

clear cobalt
#

Why no new “limited time” offers for under lvl 20 players? Only standard offers.... 😔

nocturne lantern
#

@austere sand Would you be able to share with us the rationale behind the upper-level-cap on PVP attacks?

I would like to propose consideration for the removal of the upper limit so as to encourage and engage players of all levels in alliance or multi-player initiatives . An effectively free change that can bring more engagement across all levels from 15 and up.

For instance, using a common in-game griefing tactic example --- if a lvl 15 player wants to annoy a lvl 34 player with a realta, I am of the position that there's no real harm or cost in doing so. If an alliance were to organize a realta swarm a higher-level, again free PVP chests would always be welcomed.

From a more player combat perspective, should a lower level player have heavily upgraded ship and decide to attack a higher level player, this is should be allowed as it now opens up a tactical advantage for the lower level player while motivating the higher level player to further upgrade and invest in balancing station/ship progression. The net result would be mutual incentives for attacker and defender to further accelerate game progression.

modest goblet
#

There is a problem with that already you have lvl 15 guys with 100k+ ships that were bought attacking those that are lvl 17+ that havent bought ships

The game needs a rally attack style. 1v1 is a joke. As the top player on our server i can destroy anyone and any alliance and their is nothing anyone can do about it.

my proposal is to require a minimum of a percentage of the attackers power in order to allow to attack

sudden monolith
#

^top

nocturne lantern
#

well that's whats happening on our server, and it's really making the game not so much enjoying

#

😦

cold kite
#

level, how much someone invests etc would no longer play a role

sudden monolith
#

I have had to resort to policeman role to protect the lower guys which imo isnt my job... our server is practically dead because of a handful of trolls

#

Put this power in the hands of a power crazy person the server is doomed

cold kite
#

this would stop it

nocturne lantern
#

ok, got the picture, will stick for a while, and if they don't make life easier for low level players I'll must say goodbye, since I don't spend money on game

cold kite
#

and he would need to seek players that are able to defend themself

nocturne lantern
#

didn't mean to start argument, just feels sad and bad not being able to play normaly

cold kite
#

you could base it on raw power level too, so crew buffs would still make it challenging

sudden monolith
#

Its not an argument i agree with you myleni the pvp mechanics are a joke

hidden lion
#

We all went through it Myleni

nocturne lantern
#

😦

sudden monolith
#

Tbh i didnt but i still see and agree with your points

cold kite
#

hmmm, gotta make a tracker item out of this

nocturne lantern
#

how did you became so strong?

sudden monolith
#

It has negative effects on the high level players too..

#

$$

nocturne lantern
#

I grind and mine and do dailys and I'm shit to be honest

#

oh, I get it

sudden monolith
#

I grind like crazy too

hidden lion
#

I’d like to see packs with level relevant needs

nocturne lantern
#

😩

sudden monolith
#

Jfk that is a great idea

hidden lion
#

I’m done with 2* mats and I shouldn’t have to pay for something I no longer need

sudden monolith
#

The base levels of rss need to increase dramatically... i understand scopely dont want that as its their revenue stream. But i think that would actually increase revenue for them

#

Because if every player sits on zero resources the struggle is real for all high or low level... but that means no war cos nobody to hit

hidden lion
#

I’m in a strong, leading alliance for my server and many are now refusing to spend anymore until it’s rectified

sudden monolith
#

These types of games succeed on the constant exchange of rss through wars

hidden lion
#

Only ress not mats tho

sudden monolith
#

On the flip side the increase in rss will incite more fighting and enable f2p guys to get stuff too

#

Yes marilyn

#

Scopely change their revenue stream to mats

#

And officers

#

I havent hit a player in 2 months its miner ville and boring as shit

hidden lion
#

Lol we raid everyday! Have to to keep up. Repairing my Vahklas is around 50k

sudden monolith
#

So this isnt just affecting you low guys... it affects the top guys too... im all for supporting lower levels as they provide a much needed player base

cold kite
hidden lion
#

New money lol

sudden monolith
#

I do zero ship hits zero base hits

nocturne lantern
#

yeah, I understand you guys now, got the whole picture so to say

sudden monolith
#

Because there is only 6-10 players near me and it gets a but old raiding the same power guy over and over

nocturne lantern
#

will bubble up and carry on as much as I can

sudden monolith
#

I can bully them just as easy as a 19 guy

hidden lion
#

Gotta relocate for raids. Once a base is broken I use 3 envoys. Best thing I ever did was build 3

sudden monolith
#

The pvp mechanic needs to change so many ppl can fight us at the same time

#

As it is i can take on an entire alliance or 3 and still win as its 1v1

brazen locust
#

Luck needs to be added to balance out the over powering strength and high levels vs. Lower power lower levels battling it out... just a thought... bark

sudden monolith
#

As long as its 1v1 there is nothing anyone can do to stop high levels

nocturne lantern
#

true true, well thank you on the bigger picture, we'll see what they will do about that "issue" or how to call it

brazen locust
#

Roll of the dice for the lower lvl vs. Higher lvl maybe... bark

hidden lion
#

I think some level up their stations to fast and don’t upgrade their ships and get caught in a tough spot.. until you catch up

sudden monolith
#

I hope it happens soon as i think our entire server is on the verge of wuitting

#

Quitting

nocturne lantern
#

same here, people are just terrified to shut down their bubbles, and there goes all the fun, so if only they could make some borders on power, that would be much better than level, that's true, and great idea

sudden monolith
#

This is the only war game i have played where there is no war

hidden lion
#

I’m lvl 24 1m power and I’ve lost 30 million ress at least 5,6 times..

sudden monolith
#

Even thing like ship warp is dramatically broken

#

The jump between sectors goes from 29-40

#

Up to level 34 planets warp is 29

#

To get to 36+ warp requirements are 40

nocturne lantern
#

oh wow JFk, I never had that much ress all in all and I'm playing for few months now 😂

sudden monolith
#

Jfk u need to learn to bubble lol

hidden lion
#

We have a few players with 1.5 billion in resources

sudden monolith
#

Those players are idiots..

#

Wrecking it for others

nocturne lantern
#

how do you mean, wrecking it for others?

sudden monolith
#

There is no need to continually harvest that much from people

nocturne lantern
#

sorry I'm both on discord and google translate, to help me understand you better

sudden monolith
#

All that does is dishearten lower players

#

They quit playing and even less to do

nocturne lantern
#

I'm in that phase now, quit or not to quit

#

that's why I wrote here, to see what other people think

sudden monolith
#

Everyone thinks it.. we have server wide chats and all top leaders recognise the same issues... scopely just does nothing

hidden lion
#

I remember the first raid on my station,.. All the red screen and alarms going off.. I didn’t even know how to shield yet lol had to reboot several times.. I laugh now but back then I felt like it was the end.. gotta take the bad with the good.. it’s a pvp game so you need to accept it

sudden monolith
#

Ive never seen that screen lol... nobody even attacks my miners

hidden lion
#

I’m talking a station raid

nocturne lantern
#

yeah I know, it's not the first time, moved couple of times on lower planets to protect my base, but now it's continuos hitting and I don't even have that much rss on me

sudden monolith
#

I too am thinking of quitting as its dead boring... i cant hit anyone close to my level cos its been done over and over.. i cant hit the level 19 guys as thats just bullying...

hidden lion
#

Got hit 29 times by 6 players..after my auto shield went down

sudden monolith
#

I cant upgrade due to lack of rss ... so i can mine

nocturne lantern
#

I mean I have like 3k dil, 20k trit and parsteel, so I don't get it what's the point, it's not so big loot, or?

sudden monolith
#

When u mine that creates solo play as whilst mining there is nothing to do

#

Nobody on the server buys due to fear of hits from us... so the entire server is empty on resources

hidden lion
#

Forget mining! Raid over protected ships! Only way you’ll get ahead. I slowed down now but I used to raid 150k to 200k a day in all materials

sudden monolith
#

Im already ahead... and there is nothing there

#

The increase in base resources will dramatically change this game

#

Tbh at high levels 200k doesnt even make a dent

#

I think this level for me requires about 80m pars...

hidden lion
#

We have a really good leader and officers.. extremely organized. There’s so much demand to get into our alliance that we needed to create a sister alliance. We get spreadsheets with enemy player locations , ress/mats locations etc.. incredibly organized

sudden monolith
#

Mining that will take 80+ days with no stoppages between mining

#

Yeah we are the same

hidden lion
#

This is my first ever online game

sudden monolith
#

There is only 4 active alliances on our server

#

Everyone else has quit

hidden lion
#

Wow..

#

I’m sure they would fix that.. they did on my server

sudden monolith
#

I have app installed on my phone as well and that server is crowded

#

How did they fix it

brazen locust
#

Why is there no speed up's for mining nodes... we have speed up's for everything else...

sudden monolith
#

Great idea

#

Well actually there kinda is

hidden lion
#

They added more players.. everyday I come across alliances I’ve never seen

sudden monolith
#

Factions have mining purchases

#

But the struggle now for rss at low levels is too hard even new players quit before 15

brazen locust
#

so higher lvl factions then... got it

sudden monolith
#

You can buy rss with faction points

#

Only gas ore crystal

#

I never do might as well mine it as theres nothing else to do

brazen locust
#

Why can't I use a battleship to blow up inactive nodes to git materials instead... bark

nocturne lantern
#

Hallo, kein Deutsch hier? Schade

sudden monolith
#

Stay strong myleni

brazen locust
#

I want to blow up none working nodes and pvp over the left over material... bark

nocturne lantern
#

will do, thank you again 😃

sudden monolith
#

Join our server there nobody left to hit you haha

nocturne lantern
#

hahahaha how can you switch servers?

brazen locust
#

Alrighty I guess not then...

sudden monolith
#

You cant

#

Just and FYI our entire servers leader group just put up a vote to leave the game. The comments were “lets the devs stew in their own shit” lol

#

The sentiment is pretty much server wide lol

#

Thats what happens when you dont listen to your player base

#

You would think they would at least try to talk to the top guild leaders ... but nah

#

Im the top player on our server in the too alliance and they basically told us to piss off...

#

A suggestion would be get off your asses and join our seevers leader chat to see how you butchered our server lol

rain yew
#

Make the game fun for everyone. Create ship teams of lower levels to challenge higher level ships. This unique ability would equalize the game. Lower levels would be recruited into higher level Alliances for their unique abilities. More challenging game more gun for all players. Instead of discouraging new players, you would encourage them. You would have a more enduring and sustainable game.

#

*fun

#

And probably make more money with more players.

obtuse wasp
#

There is a lvl25 ship destroying all mining ships in a entire system on my server. Why a lvl 25 can attack down to lvl 19 is perplexing. Makes the game fun for bullies but disturbing for everyone else. This is why players think Scopely is only concerned with high paying players who dominate every one else. Please fix the level gap for attacking other players. I think many people would be more likely to spend money on the game if they thought it had value. As is, small sums of money have little impact on defending against overpowered players. Slow dimes are worth more than the fast dollar.

sudden monolith
#

@obtuse wasp your off the mark there mate. Scopely equally has no concern for any players high or low level

obtuse wasp
#

@icecold Touché. I was trying to be civil in order to increase the slim possibility that someone, somewhere might care about my sad and cold space existence.

sudden monolith
#

Although i understand your issue closing the gap also has negative effects. @rain yew has the right idea by allowing many smaller to gang up on the larger players

gentle vine
#

i think it's kind of relative. yes, the power gap is annoying. But I remember being 14 and there were a ton of 17s going around thugging people. System sweeps, etc.

#

WIth most of the clans adopting a ROE, it's helped lessen the killings to fewer individuals.

sudden monolith
#

I am in top 3 on our server and atm can easily destroy any player in any alliance.. but have the opposite issue to you. There are only a handful of players at my level most of whom have been on the receiving end. They all stop spending leaving virtually nothing to do in the game but mine

gentle vine
#

@sudden monolith what's your level?

sudden monolith
#

Closing the gap gives us even less to do.. ganging up on us provide you an income stream if successful and evens the field a little

obtuse wasp
#

There is certainly a lack of balance in the game that will probably require many changes to correct.

sudden monolith
#

Were on apac server which is new.. im 26... most others are near 19

gentle vine
#

did you find that a lot of players around your level have quit the game due to the lack of anything to do?

sudden monolith
#

Yes

gentle vine
#

that's the rumor on our side too. or they find reasons to war with each other.

sudden monolith
#

The lack of player resources means there is zero war

obtuse wasp
#

@sudden monolith Good point. The game needs some sort of dynamic so that lower level players can defend against high level attacks. The ship teams is an interesting idea.

sudden monolith
#

Base resources should be plentiful to incite reciprocal war

gentle vine
#

on this side, it's more like, "you hit my miner! i'm going after your base. and i'm bringing my whole clan to do it...."

sudden monolith
#

Haha i can understand that

#

I havent hit a miner in 3 months ... maybe 5-6 bases in that time

gentle vine
#

and the victim clan is like, "you were over protected..." lol

#

well, then.. your ship looked at me wrong.

#

You're flying a turas. that's grounds for KOS!

#

you know, stupid stuff.

sudden monolith
#

Ive had to resort to playing policeman which is boring af

obtuse wasp
#

I would be very happy if they brought back a limited form of the resource token exchange. Maybe create a token once a week? Having a way to protect significant resources while still leading a good amount open to attack would make raiding wars more interesting and you could participate without putting all resources at risk.

sudden monolith
#

Imo increases base resources would incite way more violence and fun

gentle vine
#

most of the guys could care less about the rss. it's more... personal

#

tho some use the bases as their personal atm.

sudden monolith
#

Yep

#

At least u guys have an opportunity for war

#

Here its just minerville

gentle vine
#

the top clans make up reasons.

#

and some are just monsters.

sudden monolith
#

4 active alliances here

gentle vine
#

i read that earlier. that's crazy

sudden monolith
#

1 player with a faction ship

gentle vine
#

we've got so many clans here. can't tellwhen they are new or name changes. and a lot of guys comingup in to the 2* systems, you can always tell a noob clan. or a younger one.

sudden monolith
#

Which basically means everyone else is screwed

#

Not a single player on the server could stop me if i decided to be an ass... but whats the point in that

#

Hence why i like the idea of ganging up

obtuse wasp
#

Maybe they will actually implement the server move feature in our lifetime. Lol. We have lvl 34s on our server. Lvl 26 is everywhere you look. Come on over IceCold.

gentle vine
#

we have some 35s around but they seem not to pester people. Wow, most of the players are 16-22.

sudden monolith
#

Its because there is no challenge in doing so

#

If there is no chance you can lose there is nothing to prove

gentle vine
#

i'm in hansao. 80% 18s, 10% 15s and 10% 12s?

obtuse wasp
#

Our top alliance is 70mil above the #2 alliance. They pretty much do whatever they want.

gentle vine
#

one of our clan leaders plays in different servers. showed me what her other server has to offer.

sudden monolith
#

Pvp mechanics are bullshit really unfortunately

gentle vine
#

and frankly, the other server is more powerful than us. from what i can gather, we have 1 clan that would have to protect us all. the other 4-9 would just pester ya'll. lol

sudden monolith
#

I honestly think more players would spend if the base resources increased like 5-10 times

#

Post it

gentle vine
#

would the vaults be increased too tho?

#

i'm not sure which server we are. obviously not yours.

sudden monolith
#

Look at 5th alliance... its dead

#

We cant start a war theres nobody to fight all the low players keep quitting

#

I think there is a US EU and AU server

gentle vine
#

au for australia, right? There's an asian server according to their maintenance alerts

white aspen
#

Scopely needs to fix the broken PvP system. There should never be a situation where a level 30 can attack a level 20

queen sphinx
#

There is no way to compete with the little rich kids with mommy and daddy's credit card. If we could watch ads for latinum or rare crystal/gas/ore then that MIGHT be something.

#

Just got attacked by a lvl 26 while I am lvl 19. Even with my purchased Northstar, basic ship was 173K to my 36K. #levelgapfail

ripe swan
#

It is quite abnormal for such a big player to attack you. It's totally unfair.

#

There is obviously a big problem of reflection on this game.

proper shell
#

Please add 2 hour shields to alliance store for 5 or so tokens

nocturne lantern
#

Hey,ya know what's kinda nice about the Northstar..I can take out level 27-31 dudes envoys..

#

Suggestion- multiple docking points for mines. Because at the moment the game is simple ‘star trek miner wars’

#

Drop all packs to affordable prices let talk about math if you sell 10 packs of$ 100 you will get 1000 but if you sell 100000 of $5 you will make 500000 that is business. That way 90 % of player will spend money

frigid kindle
#

We should be able to cancel a warp....if I accidentally hit recall or send my ship on a 7 minute detour it should be possible to drop out

crimson flame
#

could we get a marker of sorts on systems that we unlocked and that have missions available? we currently only have markers for systems that contain already accepted missions? :)

cold kite
#

improve communication in regards to notify users about issues

#

@frigid kindle that idea is on the list, even discussed in the Q&A promising there are plans for it

spark adder
#

Who is using your bug tracker @cold kite ? I believe the devs have a JIRA

cold kite
#

they did tell me they will be regulary looking at it

#

could check the serverlogs to see if they do

spark adder
#

Have you approached them to possibly manage an open repository from complaints here?

cold kite
#

thats not simple, privacy matters

#

my tracker is a temporary solution, only whats publicy requested is there

nocturne lantern
#

@cold kite Is a smart human. I like what they do.

spark adder
#

Hosting not up to GDRP/ PCI?

cold kite
#

it is my box

spark adder
#

oh lol yeah

#

I have to go through all of it for my website. It is a pain

cold kite
#

it runs on my gbit dedi in a dc

spark adder
#

Well not GDRP because idc about europe lol

#

You know- you could just simply use a google form.

#

And share read to the google sheet

cold kite
#

I prefer mantis on my own resources

#

it's similar to jira in use, so they know a little how to browse through etc

spark adder
#

I know you do- I was just thinking that since it seems you like to track bugs- opening it in a manner that more could participate would be helpful?

cold kite
#

yes, reducing the load on support

#

giving them time to provide better answers and still be able to stick to the SLA

#

if players are made aware of whats known, they don't need to keep asking about it

#

oh, and you can vote on my tracker too

spark adder
#

Well, that's why I'm pushing for a FAQ channel here

cold kite
#

or add stuff yourself, as long as you keep it clean, this is not to be used to utter frustrations

spark adder
#

More people will read a FAQ than a bug tracker

cold kite
#

it's not an faq

spark adder
#

I know

cold kite
#

faq should be something like hivemind is now

#

cooperation between them and hivemind would be the better choice

#

which is actually the case, as the owner of hivemind is mod here

spark adder
#

Nah, you just need another channel in the news and info. Mods update it with the current questions and answers

cold kite
#

I'd prefer is they got rid of some channels

spark adder
#

well, because there isn't enough moderation

#

Got to keep people on topic in the right channels

cold kite
spark adder
#

eh, those need to be seperate

cold kite
#

getting rid of feedback space

#

they are the same

spark adder
#

because people don't stay on topic

cold kite
#

you can utter your feedback in discussion as well

spark adder
#

For instance- you and I shouldn;t be allowed to go on like this in this channel

cold kite
#

no need to split that

#

it is an idea/suggestion to change the discord setup, very topical

spark adder
#

yeah but for a channel like ideas and suggestions- the actual ideas and suggestions get lost in a wall of text

cold kite
#

thats why I file them as well

spark adder
#

Yeah but nobody here is using your bug tracker

#

So they can't see past suggestions without scrolling for days

cold kite
#

mails from the CSL state otherwise

dusky rock
#

@spark adder any really good suggestion, I ss and send it to the CM. Just an fyi, so they dont get missed.

spark adder
#

I mean I'm not a mod and it isn't my server so I don't make the rules.

#

@dusky rock thanks- yeah I usually ping a mod/CM with a good idea fairy thing

dusky rock
#

Thankyou

spark adder
#

np

dusky rock
#

Its what all suggestions made in the suggestions channels needs a good mod ping, youre right, we do need to keep the channels more on point and Im hoping soon we will have more mods 🙏🏻🙏🏻 so we can better keep on top of it.

#

@spark adder "We'll definitely check your Mantis periodically and the CMs can touch base with you over Discord then (what we're currently doing)."

#

@spark adder rofl. Ask Panic

Green - can build + has all resources
Yellow/Amber - can build + not enough resources

#

@nocturne lantern I like that one

Instead of trying to come up with more contents along with more bugs, do try to test the server and any mechanism for malfunctions and mismatch between descriptions and outcomes. Hoping for some improvements in bugs and glitches control.

nocturne lantern
#

Oh crap 2 ideas submitted... need to go for hat trick....
Patrol mode for miner ships. So when you mine a node, you can assign your ships to patrol your miners, and it automatically defends your miner from attacks.

weak jewel
#

It's strange that new ships are build in the shipyard, yet tiering up a ship is done at a spacedock? It would be beneficial if this was done in the shipyard as well, seeing as engineers can access it more easily.
And make them able to speed us by asking for help.

When can we expect changes to the packs??? I’m looking at a 20 item package where there’s 6 items I don’t need anymore. This is an easy fix , Just do it! @here

#

3* 4* mat packs- don’t need the 2* anymore but they’re in all the packs

nocturne lantern
#

Upgrade your operations level. Your packs/rewards tweak on that i think

#

self tailored packs would be awesome

#

add up to 5 / 10 / 20 items that you actually need to your basket

hidden lion
#

Exactly! I’ve been posting about this for weeks!

#

@nocturne lantern I’m at lvl 24 and haven’t needed any 2* mats since 22, at least.

#

I know lvl 26’s who still have 2* mats in the offers

honest talon
#

I know a 29 👈 who has 370k of each

#

use it for doing cheap ships for events points

nocturne lantern
#

@honest talon it's a good tactic...until you run out of hangar space

#

Which brings us back to ship recycling

#

true, that. 21 ships atm and BPs for 10 more 🤓

but hangar space for 42

#

could you implement a "auto statio shield" for maybe 2 hours after a server maintenance?
The times are sometimes not convinient and if a login issue occurs someone might have already cleaned your base

zinc adder
#

How about IFF? Allow us to tag allies by alliance tag or individual, or enemies for that matter and have their ships show up as colour coded. Green for friend, Yellow for Threat...something like that.

👍 good idea ^^

I'm sure this has been on their radar for some time. Lets hope they find a way to implement it.

Yeah it's been reported and acknowledged

#

Add a find base link from the profile screen of your alliance members. Would be useful to assist when base attacks are made against an alliance member and the send up an SOS without having to link the location coordinates. Alternatively, an SOS button in the Alliance menu.

#

@ornate nymph Suggestion: Adding ships being repaired to the construction display group so we can see how many help requests it has received.

north mortar
#

What about a bounty system. People who come and raid your base or grief your ships can get tagged and you can offer up some amount of resources as a bounty

#

It would add to the risk versus reward of stacking players as well as add another way for players to get resources

copper brook
#

Heh that'd interesting

#

Either that or like if someone has X number of PvP kills without any deaths they re marked for greater rewards

#

Something to combat briefing would be nice

#

Either A) disable this button when another ship is under repair, or

#

B) Change this to an option to speed up repairs on existing repair job like you would building upgrades.

Can we please get a power restriction on typing in global chat? There are so many spam accounts that keep coming back under names like SYTEM and ADMIN spamming free latinum it’s annoying. You can just block them but after enough people report them the account is deleted and then recreated to start all over. It’s a simple as make them have to reach a certain power before they can talk in chat to get rid of them as I don’t think a bot can progress in the game. This would probably save Scopley legal trouble in the future when someone sues them over identity theft cause someone they believed to be Scopley admins took their credit card info for latinum scam that they don’t seem to be trying to stop.

can we make it where only the appropriate lvls get the higher ships instaed of being able to buy them u got ship 100,oo maming 15,000 ships there no way they have a chance to fight back im loosin to many alliance memebers because of this can we make a limit on base hitting also make it where u can only hit 1 time not 567 times till they have nothing its really hard to get recorces already having a big boy kill ur base makes people wantto quit

@ornate nymph How about speeding up refining and giving decent uncommon and rare ore with upgrades? Because right now the refinery spends 9 hours refining uselss RSS that has been choked off by the game. Or how about we don't waste stupid amounts of resources to upgrade it and take it out of the base upgrade path to begin with.

#

@slender pendant Then how would scopely get more money? If everyone got decent resources and didn't have to buy a pack or 20 because the refinery is choked off, then these guys wouldn't be able to afford the bentley and the bugatti.

#

@slender pendant Suck it up. They gave you DJ Romulan Jesus!!! Are you not entertained??? 😃

@ocean wadi Very entertained i agred about them making money

#

We very badly need the ability to interrupt warp, where the ship will stop at the next system on the route, allowing you to change the route. This will also fix the problem where so often I intend to hit Locate on a ship and accidentally hit Recall

dull shuttle
#

@dusky light in the Q&A they said they are looking into this, but it will more than likely be a reverse course as opposed to stop warp

#

my only concern is will it reverse course back onto a mine, or just the system? Landing back on a mine could cause issues with accidental attacks.

Suggestion: New unlockable ship system: Autonavigation Computer. You can now add multiple travel orders to a queue (beginning with 3, upgradable to 4 and then 5). This system is only available on Explorer class vessels starting with the Turas.

Since we have multiple docks for ships, why not allow multiple repairs at once?

#

I agree, makes no sense why we have multiple drydocks but cannot repair more than one ship at once @nocturne lantern

#

Expand neutral space, have alliance events where Alliances battle for control of a system. Let there be a starbase in the system that can be captured. Would give us something to fight over besides mines. Almost like a territory in Scopely TWD RtS

For the rss trading, would be cool if you had to load up a freighter with the goods and ship it to an allies base. Would mean you should escort it with warships or try to sneak it in without drawing attention, or whatnot

silver grotto
#

I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but ships under repair can't defend the base, but ships being tiered up can. It would seem to me that the process of tiering up a ship should either render it disabled and unable to defend the base, or the process of fixing the ship should not render it disabled. It may even make more sense to have repairs to the ship raise the hull percentage bar gradually over time so that if attacked, repairs stop and the ship defends. Also, this will allow the player to leave with the ship not fully repaired if they need to.

#

Also, there is an officer who's only use is to speed up repairs, but we can't swap him out with the existing captain until repairs are complete. It makes no sense to give an officer such an ability and use him in combat. We can promote officers while a ship is being repaired through the officer button so why shouldn't we be able to move the crew around while the ship is destroyed? It's not like they are stuck in their seats until somebody can come in and get them out as the last action to repairing the ship, and it's not like they are dead if they can still promote.

#

Connected to that thought, is the idea of moving officers around on the ship when it's not at the base, but only swapping seats, not exchanging for officers at the base. For example, use someone to travel fast at warp, then when in system, swap seats and gear up for combat or mining. The only problem I can see with this idea is Cadet Scotty's ability to extend the warp range. A ship would be over extended when it's warp range is reduced.

#

A Base officer would be a good idea for those officers. Like the ones that help better defend the base or speed repairs. Have them running the station rather than on a ship. But you would still have to choose between them.

I'm blown away by the seemingly arbitrary points assigned to upgrades. Can we please have transparency with regard to that? I just upgraded to L23 Ops during station event and it was only 1500 points. That makes no sense.

tidal sierra
#

how about store items being for trading lat for parsteel, tritanium, and dilithium, instead of the conversion that shows up when you tap a red box, that way we get the excess instead being shortchanged

copper brook
#

Sorry, what?

tidal sierra
#

you know when you're short on trit for something, the box is red. tap on the box and you get a window showing trade lat for such and such amount.
if 1 lat = 100 trit (not actual numbers) and you need 220, the game will charge you 3 lat and give you 220. my proposal is that we make "packs" that sell said trit so we get the full amount 3 lat = 300 trit; spend 220 needed

crude smelt
#

@developers how about a tab where we can see exactly how much of each type of crystal, gas and ore we have.

#

@tidal sierra I like that idea

copper brook
#

Oh I see

#

Yeah, the tokens essentially did that as it's a gradual increase the more rss you need the less lat. It's like 2800 for 1 lat if you pay out 300k steel but it's like 3400 per 1 lat if you pay out for 1 mil steel

Never understood the whole conversation lat to res thing. Makes my brain hurt 😂

Mission objectives with an enemy to defeat don't tell you the mission name it is connected to. The Goto objective does, and it would be really useful if the enemy objective did too.

@Panic#5944 @ornate nymph
Need to do something about dilithium mining. Need 2000 for a mission I was able to get 400 today. It took me waring over the 6 or 7 nodes that are available to low levels in the 12 or so systems that I have found. It is rough getting to 2K when most of you time mining isn't even on a node. My longest run on a node was 26 units.

silver grotto
#

@reef rose Like many of the missions, you sometimes have to wait until you level up and get stronger. Then those mines become easier to hold. I'm on a mission to mine 100k dil as a level 19 player and have been able to hold a node with an ECS for most of the day as long as I had a war ship ready to come in and take it back. Most of the time, they give up when they know they're beat. If you don't need it to defend your base, having a war ship next to your miner also helps ward off the smaller attackers.

Once they nail the officer bonuses, mining dilithium won't be so bad. With bonuses I could probably get my envoy up to 750 or so per hour

@reef rose just imagine there are quests asking for dil in the millions... haha i have about 20m in dil quests lined up unpaid of course

#

He k just fix barrot and mine poppers will not be able to pop more then 2. Cause the third would kill them. This would allow people to mine longer as otl wouldn't be enough. Not at the cost of repairs how much would you have to get in rcc to be worth 7k trilithium. That's for a simple 50k ship now imagine third the cost of repair for any the 500k ships.

How much would one need to be otl to pay a third the cost of repair?

@ornate nymph <@&509691205798592532> Instead of the automatic warp home from depleted mines, occasionally mentioned, I'd prefer if miners simply MOVED OFF DEPLETED MINES automatically. I'd really hate it if my ship would make a 20min warp by itself.

#

It would be great to have a colour coded "circle" as there currently is (in white) that shows the mining progress but changes to orange or red once the unprotected range is entered. Or the blue bit that increases as the ship is filling, changing to red once the unprotected range is entered.

Here is a suggestion miner shields lol like station shields but for miners

dull shuttle
#

The ships technically have shields already. I would like to assign a second ship to protect and auto attack any incoming raider

flint dirge
#

so @spark bobcat you use a ship shield, which keeps it from being destroyed. you deplete the node

#

and just keep sitting there

#

why

cosmic anvil
#

Would you add more faction missions for lvls 25-30? Some have crazy amount of rss to donate and weak rewards in return. Some need crazy warp speed to complete. Could you balance them a bit more and add some more?

@flint dirge i dont tend to leave my miners on 0 nodes often i think it should be in the mines code to kick a ship off it when it hits zero say send it to the center of the system.....

@cold kite, read it but not relevant to the issue unfortunately, the issue was the reverse, a 580k damaged common battleship taking out a 1.1mil EPIC battleship from a different different faction with ease.

#

The refinery has 3 slots (as of level 19 anyway) where materials can be refined. I think we should be able to use each of the 3 slots to refine any material we want, like converting a factory over from producing one product to another. That way, if we don't have enough raw resources for one item, we can use that slot to produce more of another.

So hey can we get a subscription based packs like other games like a lifetime pack that gives you × items and latinum everyday for life for a one time fee and a monthly pack that gives latinum and rss and ores dep on lvl every day for monthy fee other more successful games do this life pack is usualy 30-50 one time monthlys 5-10 and consecutive monthly buys increase payout

#

Think about it and u could even do diffrent price range ones say a 10 20 50 monthlys better payout for players and for you guys

Can you make ships auto exit a mine when it reaches zero? That would help prevent high level players sitting on a zero mine for hours on end with no other players able to take them on to open up the mine.

@cloud tusk let's enable declaring war at all in the game, thus being able to make that official and change system maps to reflect that properly

Devs, my base is already juicy, explain why I should spend any more money on a crate that contains exposed rss when you have rss tokens now? Giving one parsteel token plus 20 million parsteel (or whatever basic rss) is simply a bad idea. How about having 20 rss tokens instead? All crates offering basic rss in the millions, should ONLY be in rss token form. I would buy that crate.

Hey, how about the option to un-accept missions that are annoying and taking up space

@ornate nymph Awesome idea. How about when we have to fork over an insane amount of rss to upgrade our refineries, you reverse the limitations you placed on g3 uncommon and rare resources and have the upgraded refineries actually produce more.g3 rss across the common, uncommon, and rare rss bands? When you upgrade the upgrades should make things better not friggin horrible.

Abandoning missions is bad. as you also would have no access to their followups then

I highly doubt this hasn't been suggested before, but for the love of everything you believe in, stop or at least limit name changes of individuals and alliances. It gets abused too often.

#

What does name changing do to hinder your gaming experience?

cold kite
#

@green fern if its about ignored users, that list updates too

#

chat probably sends the messages like <id of sender> <target> <timestamp> <message>, then a lookup is done on the id's, first for the name, then for the alliance tag (yes, suggestion here, make that 1 object/query instead of 3)

#

they probably use two different db's

#

game instance db (live-<id>-web) and accounting db (mv-<id>)

#

make dominion event for jelly fish bp's available till 19

#

since the kehras which is next, requires shipyard 20

#

so what ships to build between level 18 and 20 ?

green fern
#

No, it's about users and alliances changing their tag and names

#

alliance [abc] are lil shits and change to alliance [xyz]. you don't recognize [xyz] so you leave them alone. They know you tho, and ambush you.

#

Happens constantly on my server

#

Then i get 60+ members of my alliance asking "who are these people, are we at war, what's going on...". Takes time to go thru battle reports and messages to find a link to who they used to be.

#

all the while, they've gained an upperhand. People also leave alliances, change their names, then join an opposing one, screen shot base locations from the galaxy screen then change back.

#

I get the need to be able to do change identities occasionally. But any user/alliance can do it any time and as much as they want without any 'cooldown' timer

tidal sierra
#

@green fern have each of your men block a different player in that alliance, preferably the strongest first and down. That way they can check it from to time and they will see if any of them have changed tags and name
