I got 6 epic close to unlock 6 of 11 93/115, 10 of 11 107/115 seven of nine 119/120, ent-e picard 97/100, kang 87/95, eurydice 81/95
Here's an idea: Just give us the treasury, and chalk it up as a loss. #BingBong
In other news: I got Sloan!!! #Whoop
Consider it as an opportunity to get extra sales from people.
the ol' "toe in the water"
why is it always the last few shards of an officer so hard to get 😭😭
A watched pot never boils.
mods here are legit gamers ™
I'm a g4 slacker like a lot of the ecoms xD
swimming pilot is a g4 overachiever at least
Under ferengi law... pregnancy is considered a rental 🤔
Morning, it seems i still can’t buy the desealing rod with around 5k broken rods in stock. Treasury is full since yesterday morning.
yup, they're aware some people are still having issues and working on it
Thanks. I don’t remember receiving the chest they are talking about in announcements.
its amazing that i can open a ticket with customer support, get a single response in an hour from a person. what amazing support we have
Server 108 Player SirConnery I have claimed the gifts chest but still can't open the treasury please help
morning, i cant still play game what is scopley doing, its been 24 hours
server 159, still no tresury rods in store after claiming gift.
have restarted, have cleared localisation. no rods ingame or web store.
same here with treasure, 121 server
Same on 163. Are the QC team doing these "fixes" ? 👀
I haven't even seen a gift yet
Same no rods
@terse jackal on 110 there is still players that cannot open their treasury
@terse jackal Same on 115, claimed chest, rebooted, Android and PC, cleared localisation, restarted, prayed. Still shows 0 and no option to convert rods.
at this point... tresury should be made free.....
Same
Treasury still not working - are you joking?
The most worse is not, that with every update more and more of the game gets broken: Obviously more and more you team does not have any clue any more WHY it is happening and WHAT can be done against ist. Sure we can work without Waves or the Treasury. But really worried about if it once will happen to real major game machanics.
Does using Archer +Trip give the proper multiplier for Reptilian Xindi for anyone?
Still can’t see treasury unlock possibility… received compensation chest this morning but it does not unlock anything
I managed to unlock mine last night when they posted the announcement, but many of my alliance mates could not and can't still.
50 X 1.5 X 1.5 × 2 👎 <> 50 X (100 + 50 + 50 + 100)% 👍
The description says the bonus to be a multiplier while it is an addition
Good lord... the math is fine. quit crying about it
I get 100points per kill while using both. That doesn't seem right, no?
Yes it is . But their way of describing it sets you off on the wrong way of looking at the mats
Oh, I get it now so basically it's 50+25+25. Yeah. That makes sense now. Scopely math at work again 🙂
It is not even scopley math.
Scopely description of math then :))
Trip and archer both add 50% to 50. So 50 + 25 + 25
Not chatting about it anymore... too many people overthinking it
Scopely math would be scoring their recent performance anything beyond a negative number
They say x1.5 points, nowhere in the universe does that mean add 50% 🤔
When did their packs ever have +250%… that’s the one that got me with trading standards
I know the efficiency and other formulas are weird but this was an easy thing to explain properly
Of course it does. 1,5 = 1 + 0.5 // 50% of 1 is 0,5 and 1 + 0,5 is - tataa: 1,5
What else would it mean?
Until now now treasury fix??? What's up Scopely???
Don’t worry be another treasury in two weeks 😆
Maybe it's time I got to bed. :))
That would be a perfect way to put it
It's not their maths that's wrong it's their selling point/description. They try to trick you
I get that when they are trying to sell you something, but here it's just tiresome.
I'm not sure how else is more clear in this case though, take the points, multiply by 1.5. Saying add 50% might be fine too, but traditionally in STFC +50% isn't actually +50%.
They imply your buying/getting a multiplier while in fact it's an addition. In other games this is followed. Stfc tradition is a bad excuse. Your math teacher would grade you F
@heady moon who ever is feeding you this information that the treasury is fixed. You need to smack them in the mouth for lying to you again.
Still the same
Can’t claim the rod either.
I think the challenge I am having in terms of understanding is,,, This all worked for ages, how can you break it so well
The lag and stability issues from this last update seem to be worse than ever. Can't launch a wave without everyone crashing, the neon tron lights are back, and error 5 is coming up more than ever before. Seems resetting the game is becoming an intentional mechanic. What's going on with you, Scopely? Any idea IF or when fixes will be rolled out for this nonsense?
But it is a multiplier of 1.5, I don't understand what's wrong about it
It's a multiplier of 1.5
100 * 1.5 = 150
Nothing. Works as intended. Opposed to 50/xindi, one gets 75. It's fine.
Anyone know what's going on with formation armardas? The artefact restoration tokens for completing the amardas, aren't bieng rewarded.???? @everyone
@humble orbit
Missing
I got the nanotech tokens , but not getting the restoration ones 🤷♂️
look at you chests
I have , they're not there
I found them.
In my inventory.
I thought they showed up in the restoration artifact tab
hmm, are they one of the things that goes into ship cargo instead of direct to inventory?
They're usually in a chest after the Formation I think?
Why can't I start a formation armarda level 35 uncommon and above?
Some Formation armadas have been bugged for about 6 months now
also this
Level 46
Quality!
Sane for me 6 months can't do one
tried different systems/etc?
I dunno if it's different one different servers, but on mine one of each level works and the other doesn't
Frustrating lol.
Scopely
Could be doing higher levels for better rewards . But forced to go low and use armarda creds
You should be able to start 1 of the higher ones
Like for 50s, Dijiroh doesn't work, but Aran work
Did they actually fix the Treasury issue? I still can't trade in broken rods or open it
treasury still busted for everyone ? 2 "fixes" and its still broke !
It's working for most people actually
That is the propoganda right?
not working for anyone in my alliance
Same for us
I just don't get how literally everything breaks, I play a handful of other mobile games and PC games, these things just never happen
but it's not just every day here, it's multiple times in the same day, broken scoring, broken events, broken waves, hotfixes that doesn't even fix the thing..
pretty sure its intentional
more people that leave means less traffic saving costs
What's the purpose of intentionally breaking your own events/ Especially something like the treasury, they sell that, now people can't buy it.
Yeah I don't think there's any intention behind it, seems like pure incompetence
releasing unfinished code to people willingly still pay for constant broken spaghetti code is pretty funny to them im sure
Still doesn't make sense to break the thing they're selling on purpose
and “itll get fixed eventually” is probably the mindset as they focus on next months arc
Any news about Treasury fixing
I've been wondering... Do you think Scopely's marketing team attends Gambler's Anon meetings for new campaign ideas?
for sure
only 5% of people actually get through GA
so getting ideas on what lures them in helps
Still no unlock for tresury?
Might happen 43 hours from now
after 3 fixes on the treasury, there is no more hope that anything will went right...
it is the 3 arc where nothing works as it should, where they brake things that work before, unbelieveble incompetence, but they look at quality 🤣
don't pay for a death horse!
🎁 = 1 rod 4k broken rods 3 loyalty badges 5 march elite daily claims
And an epic officer if you get a quitter to rejoin
We all deserve a free Treasury unlock. I concur
Interestingly Scopely introduced the Treasury as a major gain which benefits most of their customer base. And since we don't have to purchase a pack to open the Treasury, isn't it ALREADY free? Just sayin'
It would be very free - if I could open it
Announcement says contact support via a ticket for assistance, Ticket response is "we are working on it",
had to have it manually fixed last time it was this Bad
And when I contacted customer support, they didn't respond to my message more than once in the hour I had the live chat open
@terse jackal Just give everyone, everything in the treasury. That way it will work.
yeah, free treasury for all, to compensate the 3. not good working arc and missing quality
Think it is time to quit this game
Palworld is fun
Eh I'd prefer a truckload of dolamide
hopefully they don't throw in the towel on trying to fix the treasury. if the number on my screen is correct, they still have 2 days and 8 hours to try some more ideas
2d8h for you, its the dawn of the final day not too far off for some
is it smart to move to a more central and higher planet onces you reach a higher lvl station?
im lvl 12 now and have to move 3/4 min every time for quests
and most of them are in the same region it seems
has sending in a ticket for the treasury gotten any help for anyone or just wasting time?
once you have done those missions moving becomes less regular
you will move to Grind in a system, Raid a base, speed up what you are doing,
How many broken desealing rod do I need to convert? Still cant see it although i have 4120
Nope - i got a reply saying they were looking at it
its Borked for most
so for now you say stay or move close and grind those quests?
wasting time with the feeling you have done something
Thanks, Must have read their update incorrectly then....
at lower level i moved only to do the quests, but now i move to the Deep space systems to grind with multi ship, and spend most of my time in territory
no you read it right, they did say it was fixed, but its not
ahh oke, i guess ill move over to do some quests then 😄 and ill see what i do later when i get higher lv
will take some time i guess, thanks for the tips 😄
they lie?
good idea to try save relocation tokens at low level as they are less frequently obtained, as you level you will end up with 100s
a miss truth
They incompetent.
Apparently there releasing a chest then treasure will be fixed but this is scopley they don't give a real update in 12 hours
I think according to them they've already sent this chest and most people didn't get it
The Chest didn't work
Very little surprise there
looks like it
Still not able to purchase a desealing rod for the treasury!!!
🤣
So
Much
LAG
It's
Ridiculous
I can't tell any more
it's cause they work on the quality in background 🤣🤪🤣🤪
Never mind second hand servers
These one's must be
Rejects...
LoL 🤣🤣
Wait till the Pet events roll around that require the whole server to mine on the single node in the system with 1rss at a time 🤣
Not 100% sure, but two wavers didn’t get rewards. I got the reward screen but my stock seems the same. Another player didn’t see the screen and is sure his stock didn’t change.
You might wanna screenshot your S31 credits before a wave
its like looking into the past with these small players 😂
all innocent, future 'scopley victims'
I have a question, which may be culturally insensitive
But does anyone actually like hersheys chocolate?
ooh those are the best! ❤️
no. they crap yank chocolate
Personally I don’t mind them and will have a good time if someone gives me a bunch for free, but I won’t spend money on them
I could have sworn I used to like it, but someone brought me back a big bag of hersheys kisses and... it's fine when you taste it initially, but then its so sweet it almost stings 😂
Hersheys is terrible now since they cheapened their production about 15 years ago.
crud, that is probably when I last had it 🤣
I prefer to just buy sour skittles
A supermarket nearby has those old sour skittles that has the powder
went to NY for a week for work last year.
so tried lots if American chocolate, sweets etc
it was all horrible compared to European and English treats.
Never liked Hersheys and didnt understand the popularity.
I don't eat that stuff anymore. I am happy just eating meat and eggs.
Just give me nice black chocolate
and grats, he's a massive part of g3 and 4 progression and being able to punch up on things
88% or so
Congrats, a real game changer - its why its made so hard to unlock him
Now give him a mantis for the snw crew
Now to get SNW Pike... That will not be fun..
Good job. You will see how much easier the grind is with pmc
SNW crew arent THAT bad to recruit....apart from its Hemmer that seems to be deliberately gated. But as you wont need him untill you're hitting lv52+ traders, you have time
I can get him t4 right now with patterns, but I am saving it for a rainy day
I am at the fringe of requiring to grind in g5 space for rep gains
YOu only need to unlock him to synergy with Moreau
ahh gotcha...same applies
I am not tiering up Pike anymore.
Sadly the Mess Hall relies on officer levels to build it of higher levels, so have to spend officer exp on useless officers - even M'benga etc - to reach the required level, so may as well spend it on officers you use every day
if you got the credits/medals and XP, always continue to max officers to get your mess hall lvl up...
borg probes are the best area to grind officer XP
I need to tier up the lower tiered officers I need first before spending the extra officer xp on the ones I already maxed shards on.
I still need to tier up the cerritos officers and SNW for future use when I start my g5 grind
Voyager crews... Still a slog.
Is desealing rod still broken
Still sad I don't have the triangle snw at t4 yet...
the below deck officers?
not as vital as they were.
focus on data, torres and hugh.
those are the 100% required officers
I already have my focus on those 3 and 2 others.
and the data I am focusing on is ENT-Data (to ease confusion)
hugh is hardest to max.
did data and torress in previous events stores, no spending.
wanna lend me you Amex?
i didnt buy them. hand to god.
we was both typing at the same time. Had piles of g6 mats then
My ops range is too oversaturated to get good amounts of shards for those 3. But I am still in a decent spot.
actually no.. i only just got to ops 61 and not used any g6 yet.
You were free to buy Ent shards in the store bcs you had paid for the Cube in the previous BP.
4 days left to claim your treasure LOL
cube was a free unlock?
(well, elite battlepass)
Thats not free
In hindsight I wish I had bought that elite battlepass, to go all in on Ent E shards.
elite battlepasses is prob the best place to spend if peope were gping to spend.
its the cheapest pack and gives high value for that £
territory and wave battlepasses..... not as much
the film rent? 😂
dont forget to give scopley 5% of your check
Dont think I be going 60's 🤣 All this Sigma materials and systems that inflict damage on ships just for being there BS - doesnt sound like fun to me
g6 isnt as bad as the mega whales said.
yes its slower, speedups are rare/expensive so i let stuff do it the 'long way'
ouch - like how much Sigma Par compared to normal Par - if any - do you see in your packs now?
hold on, ill get tresury screen
Holy crap, PMC cut my repair cost by more than half
see how much of a game changer once you get the PMC/T synergy 😄
its not just packs, for example, the heroic officer recuit event gives me 90b trit
Then add Hugh below deck on top of that... and you will be in heaven
sigma parsteel looks like a coffin.
how much longer till they just give absolutely everyone the treasury instead of continuing to try leading us all on that they can fix its problems all while still not hearing where the incursion exo fix is gonna be finished either????
1 hour after the Lockbox vanishes
yeah, its good, its allowed me to tier up the expensive ent-d ship faster and easier that the corvus or sanctus ever was.
1T more trit and I can afford to get it to tier 10.
A micro machines version of a d'vor 🤣🤣🤣
same amount for me like in your pic.
what ops are you?
61
of course its the same then 🤣
does it mean i dont get the treasury ? this time?
i'm sure it would be more confident to ask an oracle than scopley about that...
What do each of the sigma resources look like
Coffin, extremely cartoonish missile, and race car
Best part are the flying generators. VERY fancy!
thats a new one.....
its like that since three weeks now. have given up on that.
fine here
Another Wallet drainer
oh dam thats some high lvls there
yeah, i havnt speeded up any of these..
ill let them slowly drain away with time.
how long for 1 lvl? 😛
or 177 days for dil warehouse.....
what kind of meme can i post in that room?
clean ones
can i post video anime clips?
same answer
oh its gonna be clean lol
Hi, is it a chance to have at handy some available redeem codes? I'm lvl 30. I have tried Kirk and if there are more, it would be awesome. 😊
But know that I will be upset for having to watch it through to check its cleanness
unless you make a star trek nsfw room lol
yeah, no proper fun allowed here 🤣
Can't have NSFW channels on a discord partnered server
which is part of the 'clean' requirement 🤣
go talk to Rev, he used to have one
my discords nsfw room 🤣
lol
Pretty sure they're hoping we'll forget about the Incursions exo. It's been almost 2 weeks now since we were supposed to get them.
how long should the clip be ?
ENT3 is probably the only one that might be active for you, but I think there's a lower level limit
Thanks, I think I tried that, I've heard is working for 38+
Whats would be wrong with giving the lower levels a little something....just to make them feel loved and feel actually valued. Might encourage them to become future spenders...
The issue would be that higher levels already spent lots of money for the same things you're wanting for free. That's why we have the Treasury. Oh yeah, still broken.
I love it, i put in the CS ticket for treasury problem, get the event store loot gift, claim it, and my treasury is still broken. No ability to combine broken rods, I don't even have the option to buy the $99 pack in my store 😂
that is unbelievable 🤣
@mortal elk So who do I sell the idea of a Treasury's Broke meme contest? Maybe I can get a free treasury or something out of it 🤣
do a 'game is broken' instead, be more accurate.
hey, they say they had fixed it, but not 100% 🤣🤪🤣🤪
does archer need to be captain to score or what's the go? i have him on bridge but it's not scoring any extra points.
When hitting what?
hostiles
40+ ones?
no i'm not 40+
Oh, you have a different event then, i guess.
yes i think it's different for low levels
wtf.. and how much does it cost to boost?
this prime is a good one though 🤣
Should get 30pts with Archer in any bridge slot, same bonus as the 40+, but i only tried it with him as captain
he's on the bridge but only scoring 20 points.
oh easily.
why is this 25.74m then? 😛 and i guess you have to buy those lat with real money? 😛
the 25.74m lat is for idiots to click.... lol
always click normal, wait for helps to come in from your alliance, and THEN speed.
That button does include the price of the ressources, like the 5.3b dilithium, so it would not touch ones stock of that.
i THINK that figure is worked out from the base costs of dil and time (before all the efficiencies.
yeah, but still the 'idiot' button 🤣
if you have 25m lat, and not 5b dil...you've done something stupid.
can you farm lat later on? 😛
Try him in the captains chair, seeing as you can kill any level hostile, does it then work? I have seen times when it pays the bonus separately or delayed, so I wouldn’t put it beyond doubt that it’s just being weird too
of course. was just to explain why the number is so high
all my alliance wants to do that....
im feeling the love
i have no clue lol i just start like 2 days ago
yes, you can. with dvor/feesha and the raffinery for that. but its really low numbers.
need to reach lvl 21
you started the game 2 days ago????
yes lol 😛
ill leave when im 21 then i guess 😛
i need to reach that for some moneys 😛
irl moneys just doing it slow haha
I actually took in a brand new player to my alliance last month, not often id do that.
hes now ops 17.
stay f2p or buy battlepass thats it
this game will require 2-3 years to get fun ahah
just a warning
get in with a nice high alliance.. they can boost you faster
There have been multiple reports that the < 39 players' bracket isn't scoring additional points for the officers. Gonna have to put in a ticket to get that fixed
i dont think many will let me enter haha
yes hihest ranking alliance (and if they are nice people) is a winning plan
WARNING - i just tried to upgrade officer and the game froze lol
turns out it did upgrade.. i just had to relaod to see.. PC version
were top on my server
wtf...
my alliance is lvl 17
top rank is 39
yours is a new server, ive been here for 4 looong looong years
event would be over before anyone reads any tickets
ill jump to yours:P you push me haha
Wouldn't be the first time they gave retroactive rewards for broken events.
are the speedups better when the alliance is a higher rank?
wish i could get speedups easily without payin fo it
you just get more of them
ahh i understand
You mean the 'helps'?
not more of them
more players = helps come in faster
the longer the timer is = the more time get taken off per help sent.
yeah i meant that, ahh so i just need a good active clan to send me helps alot
it would be the first for me, a reply would be a first tbh.
im currently on 20 helps sent
going to take a while to get to 21 helps.
tried in the captains chair and now it scores 30 points, so annoying. wasted an entire day scoring nothing.
You do get more the higher your alliance level
ill join you you get to help me each minute 😛
are you meaning the field training? cuz contrubutions should work also.
ill send some messages in my server to other clans to see if they want a new active player 😄
any other things i should keep in mind as a starting noob? 😛
It will cost us 80m lat ro get the next alliance lvl....haha
we just got to lvl 46.
omg thats alot
i got some players who have that much lat alone.....
should i make a second account just fo the fun of it kinda like a farm lol
they said they give it to me when i need the spots.
hold on, i have an extensive knowledgebase.
get the jellyfish best ship fo low lvl
Is it worth building a b'chor at ops49, when I have a hydra already?
nah, an enterpise is better than the jellyfish.
do the jelly auction events still exist??
u cant get enterprise for low lvl
I wouldn't bother, unless you have literally nothing else to do. Chances are that the server transfer for a new account would be bugged & you'll just grind to lvl 10 for nothing.
He's talking about the og Jelly LoL
dude said for starting noobs lol
not as good as a shield though, but great for station defense in incursions.
now the song is stuck in ur head
jellyfish hmmm
i only have 4 ships now
i only have 5/75 for the jellyfish
ill have to check if i can get more of those plans
i human elephant i never forget mwahahahaahahaa
you can get baby jelly bps from event store.
lemme check
Dragon Tales Dragon Tales it's almost time for dragon tales come along and take my hand lets all go to dragonland
......what......
i guess its unlocked at a certain lvl
most things are.... sorry
nothing like thinking back to the old days lol
no problem 😉
atleast if i have to look in the event store
Oh what an event calendar we have
anyone got that treasury stuff scratch scratch or maybe a wave or 2 eh eh cough cough cough cough
ugh more grinding
2nd fix would be nice. I think we're waiting on number 4 for the treasury (at least the 3rd try)
nope strange, i killed 2 hostiles with archer as captain as a test and it scored 30 points both times, i leave system to go hunt klingons and now its only giving 20 points again.
i guess i can't expect things to work in the game
Game down?
btw the treasury is still broken and tells me to unlock cause it's full 🤬
nearly
I hit 76% and it says I can’t login.
compensation arc 
Be nice to get a chest in celebration of the first starship to reach space…wait it’s Scopely…never mind…
whats strange with that? different hostiles do give different amount of points in different events?
no they don't
they make hostile events with a hostile cap in game
LFGM!
blows my mind
hey nicky your so fine your so fine you blow my mind hey nicky hey hey hey nicky
Don't forget about that Limit
Look at the right-hand side
Hostile cap doesn’t affect event points; just loot, xp, and rep.
thats my brackets top 3. why do they torture themselve so much? xD
most likely dual ship grinding, archer trip +1 and e-picard e-data phlox
After 2 weeks of holding last month's WD battlepass ciphers, it's probably a zero net overall. But as a lvl 61 I'm guessing you already have all the S 31 buffs unlocked. I'll just keep up with the 10 maximum rather than trying to win the SLB'sfor my bracket.
Top1 in my bracket has 630k - thats more then 1000 thousands hostiles now. Number two not much worse with over 400k. Two others with 100k - obciously four peole very, very bored...
at max efficiency its 10k hostiles... i know... it is insane
and all they get is a meager 2 epic officer shards for the currency
Then thats a very different Event-Setup for your OPS-Level then for mine, didnt know.
Has there been any communication from Eco or Obsidian this morning?
Yes. No communication
Err
Has there been any update in unlocking the treasury in the last few hours,
last message i remember seeing was it was still borked
Still borked, no communications so far today
scopelied, not borked.
i think obsidian said fix attempt 2 was gonna roll out soon because of treasury
"We are Scopely. The available amount of your accounts and credit cards will be added to our balance sheet. Resistance is futile. "
no, i focussed on sloan skills, not the favours.
Are there allready odds what will be broken this time at event reset?
Can't say I blame you there! I have 5 Fleet Commanders & not enough coin to upgrade them all. The drip for FC's is more of a choke point than a bottleneck.
#freetreasury
Always is, unless you bought the pack.
not possible, cause they don't repair it
Saved you some money then, didn't it?
#FreeGDock+HDock
Let's get some I and J docks too 🤣
no no no i dont want an extra dock buddy i want those stocking stuffers
5!
Yep, bought Seven & Locutus, earned Spock & Kirk. Sloan through the first WD elite pass. I haven't even started to upgrade Sloan yet.
I'll take that extra dock if you don't want it! Great for base defenses to have 3 more officers to keep from getting cracked.
🤣
my best win to date
RNG or Research strikes again? 🥳
but I do have a screenshot from one of my players....that will blow everyones tiny little minds........
i just use a shield instead of sharing with others thanks
OUCH...bet that was expensive 🤣 🤣 🤣
t8 ent, about 14b trit.
Remind me never to enter G6 space lol
Who said anything about sharing?
That’s a G5, not the G6 ent. Would be good to correct it.
my tresury still bug, i really want to open it
The issue with some players not being able to open it has been escalated. We’re waiting for another update.
"some"?
I'm still stuck with Kirk only
i need treasury to unlock the officer
@terse jackal no Apex Outlaw event?
in 54 min
Everything is still screwy with DST and Scopely having events starting and ending on one or the other
What do we need to do for the 4th part of the translator event?
Maybe let $copely give us excuses? Or maybe you're a $copely plant?
Me? I'm not making excuses, this has been pretty screwed up, even for Scopely. Just trying to help people here get answers where there are some..
Thank you, friend. You're a life saver.
A boring end to an event
1 more day to go
@mortal elk which one was not clean i could have swore it was
<@&509691205798592532> tell scopely to fix their limits on ship prints. I only needed 33 prints before the store and the store said limit 75 for a ship. It disappeared when I got to 97 prints !
They might have included the previous one's from the old store ❔❔ = 75 BP'S
You think with their great programming team they could figure that out
I'm surprised the game's source code isn't falling apart given the last 24 hours
You want what? Telling Scopely what? That they shall FIX something??? 😂 Who do you think you are? Master of the Universe?? 🤪
ohhhhhhhhhhhh i see which one it was
I've never got prints for the ship in question event store except this round
Any mods I can DM?
shouldnt it be in the sevral hundred trillion lmao i think you are empty
Interesting.. hopefully someone here might be able to help
Driving and texting, so... Kermit 😄
yeah i just saw the word my bad sorry
Transmission event today is found at the Vulcan Monastery of P'Jem
An ancient building, a religious place, destroyed by Andorians.
Any reason why the prime station efficiency are not in the store ? (the G3,G4 and G5 one)
Cutting beam not scoring? hostile limit? Come on man
Where are the Ent-E officers in the event store anyway?
I am so frustrated. I cannot get my free treasury with my desealing rods. Trying to send in ticket but I cannot even open the bot. Any suggestions on how to send in a ticket
gotta love these grindin events
Can we at least get an annoyingly continuous pop-up banner that says "Your Treasury Is Still Broken!"
Don't think it's 300 and 1200 points, given that the entire event is 70 points to complete.
I thought that was what discord was for this week? 😄
Chuck, You can choose to do that, you can even say "I'm gonna do that", but you can't call for other people to do that
@proven bolt - how come you keep deleting things 😂
OH so the players can't pull an April fool (1 day) on Scopely but you guys can do it every day on the players? lol tssssss
I don’t wanna spam too much. And there are good discussions and questions, so I try to keep things more helpful than my one off snarks
I thought this discord was to keep track of "What did scopely manage to break today?"
pfft, it keeps things enjoyable 🤣
Hello, given that I am now ops 30 and I have some event coins to spend, is a chance that if I rush into ops31 to have Amalgam in the event store?
They absolutely can, they just can't call for it in discord (or I assume the reddit) 😄
So players can't make Scopely accountable for their poor game and ask them to keep their word about Quality when clearly they can't deliver? Gotcha 😉
I could be mistaken but does the event store actually upgrade if you tier up mid arc? I thought it was locked at arc launch.
If you'd like a breather to read #🌠-rules-and-roles12 , I'm happy to oblige. It's not a difficult thing 🤷♂️
event store does change
Not sure either.
if you e.g. tier a ship, you get the next batch of counts on ship parts, too
Thanks, so is a chance. Does anyone see Amalgam in the event store? (31+)
Cheers, I wasn't sure as the battlepass doesn't seem to change
Assuming that the ship BPs are available from 31, and I think they are/should be - think it's only the stella that appears at Level+1 - I would expect you to see it once you ops up (pending restarts/etc sometimes)
I wonder when the mantis unlocks, that's a better investment than the amalgam
I completed Stella, Disco, now I have some coins to spend and hopefully for that ship.
battlepass is locked "a few days before" it starts, again assuming that's still accurate, but it definitely doesn't change to the next bracket if you level up - it would end up starting you from the beginning again 😂
Thanks all for help! 🖖
33
but I don't agree. amalgam is just as important as mantis
it really isn't as the mantis offers a path for the SNW crew which is amazing and a steady source of syndicate exp which unlocks good buffs
it was an easy one for me to ignore and drip feed through CC, and then max using voyager... was never something that I used a lot
some people adore raiding, at which point - amalgam all the way
anyway, I've given my opinion, I hate how every little comment on discord evolves into a 15 page debate
people can agree or not, I don't care
... are you new to discussion forums? It's kind of what they're for...
for this instance, getting to 31 is probably totally worthwhile.. .jumping straight to 33 is probably less doable
You're free to give your opinion just as I'm free to say why I feel you're wrong since the SNW crew is an absolute game changer and the amalgam offers nothign that compares
no matter what you say there's always someone out there "nuh-uh!" so unless it's actually important I don't care to nitpick the finer details
Treasury working for more people now it would seem
I THINK treasury should be fixed. Should have an announcement after we do a few more checks...
Good thinking lol
Last time I jumped ops, it was less than 12 hours before arcfall - no issues. I’m not recommending people do that, lol…just saying it’s never been an issue for me.
Mind also asking if there's news about the incursion exo's or event store updates please?
Right! Lemme check!
interesting! I've not been in a position to test it since the 'a few days' thing did the rounds from CCs 😐
In theory if it behaves like a normal event, it would change provided you've not scored in it yet... buuut... 😄
Hey Zabatiz, do you know if should I hit the hostile limit the scoring continues? Thinking about the Xindi event.
scoring should continue unless its dependant on loot gained
I was normally planning to go ops 51 soon but with the advent of silents and even the xindi's which ******* you over if you tier up without immediately having the right ship/tier for your ops I'm feeling very hesistant about that
it's loot, rep and chests that stop
Alrighty thanks 👍 🤗
Don't really have an update other than its still being looked into. I'm seeing updates as recently as yesterday. Will keep an eye on it.
ugh, i have this strange feeling we won't be seeing that exo for some time, if ever again
my poor faction messages
Thanks for checking, I hope you can understand that I'm baffled how they still haven't managed to fix that even in light of the other issues they're verifying. It doesn't really inspire much confidence in the other issues being resolved/not repeating themselves like the unity support ending soon and the disaster the last migration was.
Yup. Totally understand. Think the treasury issue was the focus for the last few days, but I'll try and keep peeps updated about the incrusions exo issue.
Which of its own is another issue that shouldn't have happened as nothing besides the contents changed. Scopely devs really should learn "If it's not broken don't fix it" 😅
Woot. Treasury worked.
@heady moon 👋
Now if they would be so kind as to fix the voyager field training and adjust 100k to 10k exchanges needed or add the NX-01 to the event store I would be happy.
and I imagine many people who didn't get it yet would be happy if the cap on the cube BP was removed
Oh dude! I've been trying to get that one for a while!
especially with an event that rewards technological distinctiveness being looted running
Ehh, not much. Just got home from the office. I’m trying to pull myself together to go to a concert tonight :)) you?
Dear Scopely / Developers,
Please fix the event start/end times for those of us in the US that are in states that observe Daylight Savings Time
Don't get me wrong, I know dolamide is sweet and that they won't give it to us for 5 minutes of effort but 100k is overkill.
Who's playing? And I'm doing alright! Thanks for asking!
Lemme see if I can get an update about that...
I'd be quite interested in seeing which % of people with a voyager have actually finished that field training missions. Even many people who got it at release and are active grinders seem year(s) away last time I asked them
Is a guy from the UK, not a celebrity yet, but a great singer. His name is Joseph Lawrence
If they’re focusing on one issue at a time, maybe it’s not devs plural but dev singular, lol.
Jimmy is doing his best
When they say “no nx01”, what reason do they give?
I wouldn't say one issue at a time. But more peeps will be focused on a priority like the treasury issue.
Because the treasury makes money, free exos dont 🤷♂️
404 i think is more accurate 😅
Nice! For a second I thought it was this guy:
Do the devs ever plan on making the events start at the same time?
Reminds me I should see if I can get tickets for heilung, should be a good experience
Is that Joey Lawrence?
I thought they fixed the "can't open the treasury" thing twice now?
do devs ever plan anything.....
that is the real question
Sigh. You're right
Ahh, I can open it now...
It would seem that the treasury issue has been resolved- I was able to exchange my broken rods, and the buy option is active in the store.
I sadly can't Do the Borg cube beam event, I'll get ZERO Beam loot rewards..
Such a Sad day, for many players
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
because you are at hostile cap or why?
Sure you can if there're kind players who'll donate them to you
I can concur, at least for myself on s11, that it does now work
76 here, so it looks game-wide goodness.
Q trail hostile,any crew suggestion plz , i used cerri , exos , max fortification too
Does this even work I’ve bought tier 2 and doesn’t do anything @terse jackal
Started happening to me when I put laan as cargo crew below. Now it happens all the time, but it’s a bug
i see this online, but don't recall ever seeing it announced
No. Effective from T3 on. But to be honest - works only with Hostiles, not PVP. Lootcrew has speeded up that grind so much, that bit more time you would earn with that Prime: Dont think thats worth in any way that 190 Euro you have to invest to get it till step 3....
seems purely for new accounts
Scoring broken on beam event?
All ship's out since the event started yesterday,
Passed the limit, this is the end till tomorrow
I asked them to change the order of events around or move the two slbs apart, but no dice
Probably a rounding error. Happens from time to time.
nope, I added more to check, and it happened more than once
Thanks for Scopleys so-called
" PLANNING"
You using cargo boosters below decks?
I had Data on yeah
There you go
Just look at the numbers, check how much damage your cube does do anyway. An additional 70k damage is nothing and 3m also. A Cube Beam of T10 does do a damage of 17m, T11 allready 70m. Of course you see NO effect of an additional 3m
Adding more won’t change anything. It’s full. But it’s rounded in a way that both does and doesn’t register as full. It’s not a new issue.
Schrodinger's Cargo?
Take data off and try again.
Yeah something like that.
That is totally Joey Lawrence!
No event for PI day, rather disappointed they fixed a bug rather than run a meme event.
Where's our desealing rod for compensation @heady moon? I'm sure the room agrees with me. 😉
Least u saw it lol I haven’t seen the rod still and support team just closed my ticket 🤦♂️
Did they even send out that comp chest they mentioned?
oh man, exchange just not be respawning atm
I started this game 3 weeks ago, played for an hour and then never came back.. I want to give it another chance. I come from ROK, should I restart my account?
In ROK 3 weeks could bring your account down a lot. Is this game like that?
@heady moon that funny because my is not resolved with the Treasury
only at higher ops where your resources can be raided
Did anyone give you a crew selection? Assume you have Hugh and torres below deck? If so I would likely do maybe snw pike uhura and e data side..
You'll feel slightly behind at first, but this is a long haul game. Been playing 4 years and 8 months. Grand scheme of things, 3 weeks isn't substantial
Ok thanks guys I'll just keep going then
DM'd ya!
Is there an up to date beginners guide? All the videos I've seen are like 2-3 years old. Doesn't most of the information still stand?
yes hugh torres mariner in lower deck , also tried with uhura , same result. my iso damage 22 %
I'll warn you that STFC is a game that requires daily play to really progress and really tries to monetize you
Apparently i can claim a rod in the recruits tab, but i can't exchange the parts directly in treasury as before
events???
Pay store only☝🏻
Did you try full synergy Janeway if you are max fort? Or are shields still getting eaten up?
yes tried jane crew , worse than snw crew, shield regenerates at beginning of each round
Treasuary for an ops 41 in my alliance. looks a litte low can i have a second oppinion on it ?
Looks like a f2p treasury. If you haven't ever spent money in the store before, it'll have smaller rewards
If you've spent $100, it'll bump up noticeably
But it's also been a bit since I was 41, maybe that is the standard 😅
Ty think u might be right here. just looked super low to me.
tell them to ops-up! 🤣

Sort out the amount of armadas that are in a system ffs!!! 1 armada in 1 system, none in another. With an armada event on its beyond a joke.
what armada event 👀
whats an armada?
FAKE NEWS!!!! 🤣
When scoply giving nxo1 bp in event store?
prob in 3 months time.
Imo we should keep harping to get it in this one, in 3 months time most of us will have it from the ex-borg store
Where are my 4k missing rods?
Still waiting for a response
All I keep seeing is hey it's all fixed and y'all can get on happily
@heady moon
@heady moon still nothing
DM'd ya!
On here? Not seeing one
Is something up with the Official Announcements? It just keeps taking me to server settings.
anybody knows what to do with the encrypted message new one
today is alliance help
alr thx men
Restart fixed it, weird
Go to the Vulcan temple at P'jem to see the scoring.
I have globally disabled embedded media in discord as punishment for scopely's recent transgressions.
Please release a stable product.
Please care about the satisfaction of your customers.
@heady moon is this really fixed mate? I still can't find anywhere to turn in broken rods. Ticket with support was marked as closed because apparently fixed. But to my confusion, I see nothing in game?
so I am tier 8 franklin and need 5.5 million fms what is the fastest way ftp to get that many hitting what level swarms
The fastest way to acquire high volumes of frequency modulators is to tier your Voyager and use the refinery.
How many fixes they need for that one problem?🤣
Seein as how there's stillllll no access to it.
At this point. I think they should just give out the Treasury to every player for free. 💁🏻♂️
I am still one bp from voyager so close and i used all of the currency from the store today and got the pull from the refinery so unless I can get 1200 more currency somehow I will have to wait until tomorrow
Commander, I hope it gives you solace in knowing there is always another tomorrow.
I need to get artifact gallery level 38 before I can get any of the new artifacts I am level 27 😭😭
so what am I suppoed to do when I run out of building to build but cant go to level 40 for a few more months
How about you fix the waves before you add a wave battlepass. This game really is becoming unplayable.
research then ships
so building all of thoes building I jumped from 18m to 20m stength if only there was a building slb I would have came in first place 😭😭
@stark fjord lol no sense looking back.
This looks like a ops40 one. Did they just level up this arc?
not long ago i think
any1 else unlocked THE GRAT EYE OF ARA?
Was the first one i unlocked
did any of the Artifacts reduce?
yes, reduced most by 1, some by 2
None of mine have
the new uncs at the bottom were reduced by 1
and some of my rare/epics were reduced by 2
That might be it. From what I recall, the battle pass rewards and treasury rewards are set by ops level a few days before arc launch. So if he was 40 at the start of the arc, that's probably why he is seeing it. It will update with some 4* next month.
i had 1 Artifact at 24/25 before i unlocked its still the same lol
or does it not effect the uncommons?
you can see in the screenshot that it does
the new ones were originally 30, now they're 29
Think there are still a few edge cases. Sending you a DM.
might be below the threshold, or it's set not to unlock them with the reduction
¯_(ツ)_/¯
yeah alliance team mate said the same thing lol cheers bud
ill max it still and see what happens
must dash Liverpool are playing in 2 mins
Quick question: Which augment system has nodes providing the highest amount of corrupted data?
kor na ron
As feared... I was confused as hell seeing kor na ron nodes giving 4k corrupted data per node while being a level 27 system but Duriana nodes giving only 100... I was confused if I was level locked out of those nodes or something...
Yeah, they really need to bump those corrupted nodes up a bit
How do I raise a ticket in game? When I go to settings I can't see the option. The help just leads me to the website.

game really doesn't want to give me hugh shards
Can't we please dump the cutting beam tax? I've never seen a game that punished you for punching up before this
Congratulations on your promotion, Commander! My sensors indicate this is well deserved.
so I am just one blueprint away from voyager
Lol apparently there afraid of a cube peasant uprising!!!!!
I'm only after the PvE tax being removed
Would be nice.
Wish those cubes worked on bases I can see 80 people with little cubes swarming some whales base charging and beaming it slowly to death!!
Not only is that not possible on bases, but the cube beam was specifically designed to keep the “peasants” from using it to gang up on a whale’s ship. Blatant whale protectionism.
That's why he said 'wish"
Somedays it feels as if STFC was brought to us by wish.com. Maybe thats were they buy their servers 🤔
should I scrap my level 45 mayflower now
yes, no reason to wait
@everyone General STFC Q&A come and ask me your game questions..
Events to do and i share some of my optimism for something coming sooooooon...
80 Average Viewers and we do a giveaway, so invite your alliances, friends and of course, Grandmas! (OH - Yes marbles is fixed)
We are live in 5!!!!
Welcome in Astronuts!!! Day one STFC Player and official content creator. Check out my YouTube too, if you'd be so kind https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC15zKlXnhIDOyTIL04ynftA
yeah still no rod to repair, repaired client, cleared localization. it does clear the treasury notification though
send obsidian a pm, he's reaching out to the ones that are still affected
On a scale of 5-50, how many franklins should I get in the event store? Normally I’d go officers, but I don’t see any this run
Franklins?
Bad joke. Just bored waiting for ent officers to be added
Events are trashy
Iam also affected cannot use broken rods is there a way to fix
Heard a rumor scopely fixed the zoom issue?
Ah, I just tiered trip and unlocked shran for now. Not sure what else to do, maybe just spend on tierup catalysts
I started spending epic ex borg credits on the ft chest 😥
I really wanna spend for the Harry Kim shards in the slb, but gotta wait in case they make the ent officer special a limited day, 100k+ bundle
i grab one of those a day
Archer shards for me there is usually always something worth getting.
Unlocked the Spider Verse skin for my base
still a ways to go to tier up my red matter
Lower end problems for me
How is it possible for an unalligned player to move their base into an occupied territory?
They became unaligned after getting their base there
Wasnt one of ours. And wasnt there earlier.
Hm only time I’ve seen it is with players who dropped tags, and players who were there before we took the territory. Never seen a new one pop up.
Me either. Only other way is during incursions where you leave your base in territory and jump to the other server. Never seen tnis before.
Someone stuck in purgatory finally got fixed? (failed incursion transfer)
or an archived station, reactivated
Was just wondering that
I'm not able to get points for Cube event, Mods from swarm or loot thanks to Scopley and there event planning 🤦🏼♂️👎👎
How much was that prime?
18 tier prime $29,999 total
Still working on this?
Yeah, this is crazy
I'm very disappointed in the calendar
The hostile limit has been in place for years. Just need to work around it.
It's on the wrong event during the event store
Where's the comp chest?
Draftkings is not a charity
They aren't!?
I mean sure... the payouts on whether the new arc will work or not will have low payouts... and high return if an arc ever does work initially... but the sidebet parlays of how many spelling errors and the delay of messaging could be lucrative to them
How many players rage quit...
How revs review of the arc will either be scathing or more shill like... incursions betting would be huge but too easily manipulated by a disaffected/greedy whale betting against their server
Yeah silent hostile like xindi remain impossible if you're not whaleish or whale like or quasiwhale
Treasury still terribly disappointing... at 41 should have mats I need... why no g4? @terse jackal
Anybody catch the infinitely improbable bowl of petunias on the SpaceX launch feed this morning? 🤣
I’m still trying to figure out why Ops54 needs rare mats when they can’t even be refined until ops 55…🤬
Impetuniaable?
Scopely is a whale catering service company
Calander is packed full of boring low level events that take 2 minutes to complete. Packed full there are very few events that actually require larger ships etc. So I kinda like the events yesterday n today.
They could have added a lower ops level segment for inclusion not sure why they didnt.
But the events need to keep pace. Swarm Sunday is wack 41 swarms ridiculous for almost everyone.
People still do swarm sunday?
Yes for Khan shard's plus the other Klingon+ mat's and Crates
@foggy lark lol there's nothing else to do besides kill people or crappy low level trash events. There great for new people but barely noticeable for the old timers lol. All the events need to be updated bye ops level
Swarm Sunday is now superfluous with freebooters
eh I still like si vis pacem, nice source of lat and gas
Can't do freebooters yet
Now I feel like a whale

You think Daylight Savings time messes you up? You should see what it does to Scopely.
Freebooters don't earn you khan shards though 😛
That's sad
Well they're just transport patterns when you have all the khan you kan
They really need to update the rewards for sun swarm in general 50 hostiles for a handful of 4*...no thank you
Treasury issue still not fixed for me on APAC servers
No rare 5* in the battle pass free or elite path I’m almost certain previous passes have had 5* rare materials in them?
Wouldn't be surprising, no officer shards in the overflow...
probably testing how little they can give out wout anyone noticing/complaining
end of the arc is coming in sight and they STILL haven't even fixed the incursion exo...
The event store in general is a disappointment . There's barely anything there
And not enough loot even with a premium bp for some of the bigger items like g5 cloaks
They were supposed to add the ent-e officers to it for a week though I'd prefer NX-01 shards
Is the game draining the battery and crashing every 30 seconds for everyone or am I the only one
Well not currently for me lol but I'm sure sooner or later .@small void
Try a reboot? Not an issue I’m having, but I’ve had buggy apps in the past and a reboot fixed drastic battery drains by killing some process that was running
Lol make sure the flash light is turned off.
yup, drinking battery here but crashes arent too bad considering i'm using a dreaded samsung a13 with android 14
Thanks I will power down and try tomorrow
any new OS updates available?? the android 14 update on my phone seems to have improved certain aspects with the client, the unity engine update was also long needed - the ux seems more fluent, not as many memory leak stops
Mine does
Transmission4 go..
My g5 stash at ops 50 😝
this is mine 😛
Yeah seen it
But you’re not ops 50
I am but a few more numbers 😛
I wonder if I can finish all the g5 primes at 50
You can, but it is a pain in the rear
Need about 120 iirc for the rare ones
G5 in your event store?
Nope
That just shows you how terrible this event store is if you had to go look 😛
Forbidden catalysts goooo
aww... it's almost my kitty 😮 😻
I miss my cat
We definitely need another Compensation chest
Fix the beam. Jar jar getting no scoring. Okee day
Its quiet because scopley fixed the treasury for everyone except me. Mine never opened. Guess scopley does not like me
@long fiber you should contact someone put in a ticket etc.
woooooo
I have put in a ticket for the last year about this issue. I have 16k broken desealing rods as a result. They never fix it, and always give a canned response.
Whenever the treasure is supposedly active, a new ticket gets made... been doing it a long time now.
the $99 key working 🤣
@long fiber huh no rod maker in officers?
@long fiber you need to talk to obsidian I would think.
Nobody here has been able to help me.
should i put him as cap
Nah,
He works well with her as cap
hmm
All the eclipse crew are garbage excpt mudd
dont have her
Bev, mudd khan on capital traders if you are under powered works like a champ
dont even have khan
You get khan on swarm sunday?
Bev might be in your ultras then
my treasury worked fine
Means you bought it
Meh, nothing wrong with that. I buy packs here and there too
Depends on my Mood and how well scopely sitting with me at the moment
Anyone else having problems with Borg probe award's. The nano rewards?
Looks like I will have my academy by the spend event... So I am happy
It is a hard maybe 🤣
oh will would be a nightmare to just be short for, i can put mine to 53 but holding off
Well I got 350 or so today, so I am set for a dryspell for the next week now lol
yeah that is usually when i buy a pack, helps numb the pain, just gives you another
Yeah I am not going to do it this time.. That is their Psychology
i can T10 my Jelly 🤣
yeah i will scrap mine soon i have a T7 as well for events, i just love seeing the USS Constellation refit
Voy just hit T10 as well, i rushed 53 so now i am catching up
G5 epic gas...hmm gonna be a while getting that i think
if you don't laugh....
124 10 day speedups holy
just use lat
those speedups are gone now almost
i went on a research binge funnily enough
Goon is great when autogrinding for exp.
Yeah anything boost xp is okay.. But that is all
Agree on the rest of Mudd's crew.
it's odd they released a whole synergy group that are useless at killing the related npc 😕
Well because the stella doesn't need a crew to kill them
i found the uc g5 gas in the event store, it finally had a use
Will probably get G5 rare if my refinery/bajoran don't pay out for my academy
some have been useful for ATA's
yeah you should, i wont as i hit 53 after arc start
are they still doing random Shakedown cruise bundles in the iap store? 🤔 i haven't seen any offers yet at ops 23
I would get the elite fed packs before that pack
For faction credits
faction rep isnt high enough yet. i've been a bit of a tart with all three factions 🙈
what can I say? kitty likes a tickle hahaha
that cat is so cute, mine would just rip you face off and then want a head rub
she's such a good little girl. she belonged to a colleague - colleague couldnt look after her due to working 70hrs a week. I adopted her at 10 weeks
I've got my broken ankle elevated. she's currently sat on the plaster cat using it as a scratching post
they find a use for everything, wouldn't swap any off mine
if i'm feeling a bit down mental health wise, she'll give me hugs. literally sat on her back paws with her front paws and face resting on mine
she might also be trying to smother me 🙈 😹
i would go with smothering
anythings purr-sible with kitties
well with mine, the boys i know it would be, swear one has retractable thumbs
Got an alliance mate that had the dealing rod for the vault but has apprently disappeared now that they “ fixed “ the vault unlock ……. Anyone else heard of that out there ?
@terse jackal 👆
if it was from the last month it will vanish as they can only be used the month bought for from what i understand
