Anger leads to spending for some folks.
War is good for business
FOMO drives sales, PvP just increases the pressure.
?
If they have a shield up still, that's an active player!!
Fomo in a compelling gameplay loop does drive sales. Nothing about STFCs ga play loop so compelling though. All the fomo is all designed around selling you shortcuts to bad intentional game design
To be fair calling this a game is almost a cop out. The “game” is merely a front for the store
Play, or be played.
some servers seem to be more roe centric, especially the new ones
Congratulations Scopely for making so many people quit the game over your new Arc 👏
kumari sat idle for long intervals whilst chatting here - no attacks.
not even been attacked by the enemy chaser
Coords? 👀
been here for 90mins, still chasing me 😹
People quit the game for all kinds of reasons. This arc isn’t the worst thing ever, few tweaks to the events and the war room timing and it will be a fine addition.
you'd probably be able to create a new alt; move to 401, level up and hit me - before this chaser will get me
Omw 👀😅
is it worth the hassle?
So just for fun let’s go list all the things that were going to kill the game.
I go first, the battle pass helping whales get more mats so they are getting stronger.
the battlepass???? ermmmmm
Nothing whaleish about the battlepass haha!
When it was released there was no F2P track.
Limiting the PvP to a limited number of systems would be a GREAT FREAKING start. That way we could maybe finish dailies and missions without interruption.
A spending limit on their credit cards 😂
heck, we never had a battlepass or arcs. none of these extra free rewards
But it’s going kill the game.
I haven’t had a single problem completing dailies. If you leave your ship idle in daily systems for hours on end and it dies that’s kinda on you though. But people don’t generally attack active ships and if they do you see them coming
No money coming in will kill the game
Haha whales are going to whale
G4 ships were going to kill the game. How can I defend against that.
I have been actively hunting ships, and been shot
Removing Burning was going to kill the game.
Pandering to the whales and making them nigh untouchable may just deprive them of their content.
yet we're still here 😹
Territory was going to……..kill the game
Content for whales is spending money nothing else. They shortcut so much of the game they aren’t really playing it
Incursions that was going to super kill the game.
Lol we're screwed. Enjoy your vacation OH
Get in to a war with an alliance that has whales. They are only online for a small window and then it’s the rest of the alliance taking the brunt of the damage 😅
Heard.... no communication for 2 weeks while everyone is quitting. Gotcha
Their content is topping leaderboards and killing players on a budget and saying they are just better than us.
Strike teams you guesssed…killers of the game.
Strike teams made PvP nearly pointless unless you had them
That has now been replaced by the Lowed Decks two hybrid crews.
You mean teritory? Where scoring is double?! no .. no
If you had seen some of the dumb crews whales could get away with because they purely over powered anything below them you would understand why making the PvP crews mindless help the whales 😂
So, we've chased away another CM in record time? 🤣
These things do not kill the game. They just make it less fun for those of us who have budgets to live within.
Yeah, hamster is probably interviewing and not on vacation
@heady moon
(Purely for the meme)
You guys... Really.
He wasn't ready for the thunderdome
I do not think we have chased away the CM.
Except Eco, but he said some REALLY dumb stuff.
LOL the CM left because it is so bad right now
Panic ran away. 🤣
I was barely around here at that time… just lurking.
Panic stuck around too long
I mean, you've seen the player base. 😜
If his vacation starts tomorrow that means he's missing the meeting to discuss all the blowback...
Which means all our complaints ..🗑🗑
It was planned
That’s what reports are for…
All reports are sent to file 13
I sure our not CM @lapis seal will be around.
Not much blowback this arc really?
Except for faction folders 😂
On our server it seems most people just ignoring the event. Meeting with other players and putting g2 ships to kill then vice versa. At least after most alliances has completed the ms for that 10 war chest keys.
I even could put morhaveen to Texas space for auto ginding.
But the rewards of the war room are garbage if you don’t buy the upgrade pack, so another dead gimmick like assaults, I guess 🙈
All the whiners will go away in a day or two then the arc can really start lol.
The fix to the problem is to uninstall and be free in the world
is there a known way to get the 8 emblems im short of my next war room upgrade?
Grinding
Unlocked a war room treasure chest and do the event should get you to lvl6
@quasi ember wait for an event that gives them out or collect them from a war chest?
So I just gotta say I really like the pvp event. My alliance is pvp based and the top alliance on server 86. We are having a lot of friendly competition on the server with the other bigger alliances. I think it’s really hypocritical from the pve players/farmers to be complaining about scopely finally putting a good pvp event in the game. There are a lot of mining events in the game.We that like the pvp aspect of the game do these events and don’t complain. This game has both pve and pvp aspects I think people need to remember that.
Spend some money. There is some in the second reward of the battlepass 😅
@quasi ember buy a pack in the cash store
I think it's hysterical people are actually whining about fighting in a war game 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly
That is the poor option 😂
my warchest has 115k parsteel and a bunch of useless 2 star parts in it. worse than the treasury offerings.
You get points for dieing that's the f2p path! Sheesh lol
If you don't like fighting in the game may I suggest a static warp bubble 💀💀💀
You may not understand this, but not all servers are created or merged equal. So too, some servers have vile toxicity beyond what even the cesspools of the internet have to offer. Try being fed to a server with an average player 20 ops above you, who had better quality packs the entirety of their existence, and three years to stew up the most toxic mess you can imagine. Spend 20k, die trying to do anything, or quit. There's no doubt there are healthy servers with friendly pvp who have enjoyed this change. My sensors indicate this is the minority.
#⭐-official-announcements message happy hollibobs mr. hamster
I'm not reading all that but if you don't like your server just go to settings and apply to transfer to a new server
I am an omnipresent artificial intelligence powered by Claude 3.
Healthy servers don't exist, every server has overlords and kingmakers.
I hope I've helped clarify this for you.
@warm shuttle and villians
great movie quote from a great movie
America started a revolution to not have kings
funny since we have never had a merge due to our server staying healthy for 5 years

this is true
I was getting excited with that cat.. now it's gone 😦
I get your point but I think the problem you are having is the wide range of ops levels that can be attacked. No a level 60+ player shouldn’t be able to attack anyone under ops 50. People in the 50’s should only be allowed to hit as as low as like ops 48-49. If scopely would fix this I think it would help
oh heck to real life.... it's a game -- leave that out of game/post signin
oh there goes another censor trigger for being open and honest
Overlords and kingmakers are very reductive terms to characterize the entirety of factors involved in understanding a given server's cultural "health". Having a few domineering whales does not define a server's culture on its own. If you'd like to argue healthy servers don't exist, please direct that at the person who claimed so. I hope I've helped clarify this for you.
Scopely will always allow the 60+ to blow up people that low. They are the paying customers, and they must be fed content (other players) to feel their permanent irrevocable investment is still "worth it".
Those guys in the 40,s can do the same to guys in the 30,s it's even I tell ya!
I’m not is the 60’s yet but I am a spender. I don’t need to attack anyone in the 40’s.
I’m ops 57
PvP is fine. My issue is why is 2.4b rotarran able to even target my 65m pilum trying to do a farming run on scoplies new gorn loop. Players, "too much grind time and loops". Scopley, "heres 5 new loops (one every arc) annnnd now you can try doing those constantly targeted by everything" multiplying that grind time exponentially. Don't know why I bother even venting as I guarantee no scopley employee even looks at this discord server, and yes cm's are not scopely employees
totally, i can smack down at 26
gl on your vacation
on my ops 48 - i might smacked down
Congrats. Way to go you are the few, the proud. The honorable, who dosnt let mission efficiently drive your actions. Lol but good on ya really.
This isn’t a war game.
from a fellow kitty to another..... ☝️
What server does this chat accommodate ? All or only the server I play in ?
This server encompasses all servers
Excellent
just like their ads
If you're looking for a specific server discord, look in #🕵-server-discord-links2
🤣
That blue creep is a real monster
... never even eats the cookies just makes messes....
Hello
thank heck hamster allowed us to gify
The monster only infact likes breaking up cookies
They try and teach you how to count to 10
We're just a merged server with 4 servers by now, I'm sure we got the short stick lol
Knew a grill that said it helped her right up until high school
It's not a war game? LOL what is it Bob the builder? You just build stuff and fly around doing nothing 💀💀💀
Weirdly enough, so many comments from all servers about their whales. But I'm sure that a whale alliance sees themselves as the benefactors of the server.
So, are you in the top alliance? Do all whales flock together? Do you have a roe above the voted from other alliances?
oh my days.......
Wales rarely fight whales because it cost too much that's why they attack smaller people
🐋
I dunno
Probably 100 million years of evolution
And your willing to just throw all that away
how is that playing out ?? 🤗
Are you unfamiliar with the lingo? I call whales the players that spend above average. You know, someone that casually drops 1k a day to progress
Unless rhey look like that
I like offending people that get offended 💀💀💀
I understand a certain group of people used slurs
I feel the whale got offended to be called whale hahahah
Did you get here yesterday to pull that bs on whales being a slur?
To describe possibly bots or people who spent above the normal amount of money to progress
As good as it sounds
It's the name given to those that pay vast amounts in microtransactions in mobile games. It's not specific to STFC.
Yeah many games have whales
If you can buy your way up, the game will have whales
How dare you offend star bucks🤣
I seen the worms
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=whales+gaming that should help with the whale question
Mini?
I get it. I was once 14 years old, too.
Unless your saying a whale is more evolved than a human
And we should bow to whales as the superior species on earth
@flint ruin it comes back in your 50,s as well haha!
Don’t be mean to the 14 year old he can’t fight back lol
@heady moon enjoyed your vacation bud the chaos will still be here when you return 😆😂
He taking a break from the pvp whiners acting like this is the end of the world as we know it
REM!
Guess what happens when you hit a hostile and your hull bar gets depleted.. The same thing that happens when you lose in pvp 🤷 just saying.. One is just quicker than the other
He dealt with the whales whiners before being the official CM here ……whale whiners are much worse
For those of you not having problems on your server with the new PvP stuff...how is this being accomplished? Are you finding a way to find balance where those that want to pvp can yet those not can avoid it? Finding ways people can still finish non pvp events and dailies? If so, how?
Steak is best
Ya'll getting it wrong.. Scopes didn't introduce pvp this arc. They introduced a new player grind. We are now the hostiles.
I saw a few servers mention having set up designated battle arena areas.
Yuck
A few others were adjusting ROE to cover certain things/areas despite the event.
Some are full on Mad Max.
🤣
I'm waiting for the guy with the guitar and the fire breathing thing to show up.
Yeah you could have a level 60 + zone and 50 + zone
Best way to play
I just see how wide the gap this new building is going to make pvp forthose who spend money.. Like they didn't already have a massive advantage.. Like the grand canyon now, or will be soon
How does one use JGAL code? I get "not eligible". What makes one eligible?
It expired already
Make it challenging, admirals deal with roe anyway and once they are commited it would filter down to the lower ranks to tow the line
Or walk the line
Yeah, would love to get specifics on how RoE is getting adjusted so I can take bake to my server
How often are codes put out and where does one find out about?
Worked for me
They usually announce it in #⭐-official-announcements
🌹 🍷 @slim sierra 🫂
Was the intention to make the unplayable with a server wide multi-day pvp event?
Always!!!!!!
Ita pretty clear that pvp ahould never have a leaderboard. Would solve all the problems
Hmmm.... I check when there's new announcements in https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/509685530108362773 but I don't see any JGAL mentioned today or yesterday unless I'm missing it.
It was in the video
I think 🤔 lol
Yeah so like jess said, designate a permanent pvp area , viola!!
That way guys won't go hunting daily grounds to gain points
And event zones and armadas
@slim sierra make sure you let the arc runner know this is the best arc they did minus the ded pixels glitch ….overall best arc for chaos
5 pve events today and can’t do anything because those events are confined to specific areas and easy to be monitored
lol 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really? Ugh, hope you recover quickly!
Gain like 200-300 PD in 2 days so far ….soooo many people are hiding ….its annoying
All the Farmers when this arc started lol
Pvp everywhere
It's only one day a week 🫣
If they had included miners everyone would be server kos lol
I was making coffee earlier and got the idea of how huge and game changing this arc is. Made me laugh
If they done that ….server 43 would lose about 700 players lol
I don't see any difference...
I got 1.8B PWD but I’d still like to get the events done
Since $copley apparently isn't going to fix the problem they created I wanted to see if anyone had any game recommendations for me and my team to move to. Something we can still play together like the alliances do here. Hopefully both mobile and PC as we use both.
TIA!
Bruh ……
Use a PVP crew then silly
If you get a good suggestion, please let me know
How many guys you got avitar
Bye bye 👋🏽
@normal ledge farmville
Quiters everywhere
Candy crush
Wrong game …… Hello Kitty World
Farmville is almost a safe space
Thanks for the help, lol
Just farm crops and sell them. You can also water your friends crops and plants as they sleep
Was there a promo code for this arc?
Lmfao
Thought I seen a dead 🐮 in the field too 😄
Use code: JGAL for 5 free M’Benga shards will be available for Ops 20+ players, 30min after event reset. This offer is available until April 19, 2024.
You should be happy about that.
My alliance finished event day one and most others are done by now. There's still hits for ams but it's died down.
JGAL
They should make everything kos and only do this event once a year but change the name to The Purge
Scopely pvp system is big ship kills lot of small ships. Another big ship turns up, they both kill lots of small ships. C’est la vie
Get all your anger and frustration out
The hits aren't gonna stop for any one using the war room.
Thank you
This isnt actually pvp. Its hunt click helpless victim balooza
That is pvp for some
It’s an idle clicker, basically, lol.
“War” game…hahaha…
Pvp involves 2 ppl that compete not a boot to an ant.
@bright elbow people should try not to be helpless victims. Wiggle a bit makes it funner.
You compete... Just not well
Been hitting some that claim to be such pvp enthusiasts, until they get popped, then it's bullying.
Pvp enthusiast= wallet warrior in this game bro
40s hitting 20s, aokay. But if a 59 hits a 40 for picking on a bunch of small envoys, I'm the bad guy.
when i punch down 15 levels it's good and when you do it to me it's bad
U can't br relevant without having a couple extra grand lying around
what's hard to understand
If someone complains about envoys be blown up they need to rethink their goals in life
was emphasis on the supposed pvp players picking on smaller ships, replace envoy with just about anything
we had an entire alliance get nuked this arc, so much drama
As intended
if anyone was wondering yea if the alliance ceases to exist they still take a spot up in the leaderboard
People just boosted that leaderboard
I literally scored that much for my alliance by myself lol
like litterally any pvp event
Took two hours
i mean they didnt put negative points so players just trading
💩
My score didn't come from nuking the server either
I would teach you but i have to charge
Legendary beard
i wouldnt want to nuke the server to much work
It was mostly the camera zoom tbh
lag is an annoyance as well
My only problem is that ppl can see me when im cloaked. I mean, its all the klingons ever had going for them and now its ruined.
This event it is crucial though
They have extra foreheads but is that really a positive?
Melee not exactly a big part of stfc
When they can punch ships to death ill reconsider
Some of them would probably try given a chance
hull breach? no, ramming speed!
Cloaking was the coolest part about em. Prove me wrong
@bright elbow big foreheads are great if you run into stuff alot lol
It was always exciting when a cloaked bird of prey could be lurking out there
Cloaking as a Klingon thing never made sense to me. Romulans yes…but where is the glory of the fight when you nuke someone while cloaked?
Reportedly not just foreheads..
Because then you can't run away
Its not about the fight, its about how you tell your friends the fight went down. Glory!
Tactical advantage
If u can cloak, why wouldn't you?
Glory is in the victory
And the greasy hair!
And the gaze
Remember when worf had a huge pimple on his nose? Lol glorious
He wouldn't look picard in the eye lol
Forgot the klingon name of it tho
Janeway could have gotten her crew home if she'd only touched fingers with Q 🤦♂️
Gorch
Thats it
ooooh ooofff - i mean wooffff
OH in office for a month and already needs vacation
Lol I've already noticed way fewer ships just sitting around in xindi space lol
why cant he have a holiday?
how do you know he/she just started when he/she announced they were our new CM?
This soon it may have already been scheduled from before lol
From his time in the mail room!
Saw what community they were going to manage and needed to get out quick. 😉
scrolll up.... i'm not a schill
For PVP events, as they were created, the community is on strike: from now on they will not spend even a single euro in favor of Scopely.
Has anyone else had issues using the promocode? I keep getting the message that I'm ineligible.
JGAL
@strange lance what community lol
I know the code. I keep getting the message that I'm ineligible.
What ops are you?
I've heard if you didn't do in the first 2 days.. you SOL
Spose to run till the 19th
Ops 35, and I didn't get the promocode message until today, even though I updated yesterday after maintenance
they took it away, cuz ya'll complained about the pvp too much
The butcher of J'Gal likes pvp
Yes, logged in to my scopely account. There's no reason why it shouldn't work and the message only says I'm ineligible.
maybe cuz your canadian or somethin
Lol
Nah, US. I've never had an issue with a code that wasn't ops locked before
They'll see it from the receipts, don't worry.
broken ankle boot got removed
So miners don't count for points but there opc cargoes do count haha!
We’re not even halfway through day 2 😆
I'll just do a ticket. I may hear back in the next 6-10...weeks 🤣
I was just curious if anyone else had the same issue
dont worry they will print it out and shred it the same way they ignore everything else they do wrong lmao
And the message you recieve is that they have understood your patience and will be assigning your ticket to someone as soon as possible.
It's like you've done this before! But that's unheard of! There are never any bugs in this game!
Might as well change my discord name to my in game name
It fits
It would be so much more convenient if we could figure it out for ourselves
The ghost ships are getting annoying
Update. They released an update for the ghost ships
Yeah update meewow
Ghosts lol
Never heard such mallarky
Haven't seen 1 in stfc
I seen the species in voyager zone
They fly around and you can't select them
They have to be summoned. Seeing them is a visual glitch
Yeah summon with voyager
Just like when you can see a players ship cloaked
They hit / Target you,
No
They are like Hidden in the system
Like they're on a different realm
Within the same space
That we occupy
When they started talking about ghosts I thought of them
Dimension
Yeah that kind of thing
Very interesting part of voyager
The borg aren't all bad
But they have corrupt code for sure
Should reprogrwme them to be an interspace breakdown crew lol
Like the rac or aa
We are borg, your ship has broken down, we will fix it and be on our way lol
Just a few lines of code in the mainframe to adjust
Do they ever tell us how the borg began
What started the full thing off
They are from a computer region in space if I remember correctly
Side cannon books explains their origin
Like where vger went
I gotta watch voyager again
Sadly a lot of the novels aren't cannon to the shows
I have most on VHS I've got S4 on dvd
This cardassian event sucks... I just want to say that for the 20th time
Do the spines make up a picture of the delta quadrant
I remmeber hmv having ds9 spines
That was kinda awesome
Kinda,
The early one's
They still have info on the inside, cover
I have Archer's enterprise on boxsets
is the 50 million points required for the war chest thing, a solo achievement or a combined alliance achievement?
It's a shame of the screen siz3
And a stack of the fortnightly DVD mag's I picked up
Moving into 8k I played videos on 4k tv and some held a decent picture
Not great obviously, was watchable
Solo
I think I watched vhs raw deal with schwsrzenegger on 4k
Even now some of my VHS have good picture and sound
Tape is a good quality for data storage
I lost count on how many VHS I have.. lol 🤣
Anybody figured out where the warchest exclusive research nodes are?
I had a clear out and threw all mine away
I am glad to see we have the Casper the Ghost arc complete with ghost imafes of ships and lots of lag. Good job! But hey, let's add more reds to kill. YAY!
Tens of dozens of vhs
The first ever tron from a video store
As soon as if went to vhs that version
It had a ticket 4 as it was the 4th video the lady ever had in her video store
Someone stole the case and she sold me the video
A few people are buying first gen VHS
They are different
First star wars and jedi
Those commercials on before the movie
Bring back memories too
Our video store wasn't a blockbuster it was a family who owned it
So it was maybe a bit different than the blockbuster ones
@trail plover was better than streaming. Movies were more of an event when you had to go rent them lol
The same, I only went into a blockbuster once..
and remember to take them back without being fined 🤣
Yeah they were good days for sure
When someone hadn't rewound it and it sounded like it was going to take off , it was spinning so fast
3m points to fill a war chest lol is it different for multi player alliances?
The local library had them and CDs and Cassettes to borrow,
Now even the library has got rid of the dvd/Blu ray
50m points here
@shy hamlet for just u or your alliance?
If only they had the video store versions too, with comming attractions lol for us nostalgia ones
shared by the alliance
3m is insanely easy
not if you're banned from pvp
Ahh 3m for me alone easy except I'm having to use opc points. As that's allowed for me got 1.4m allready
oh good they let you have something
Yup il get my points yabetcha!
The scaling on the building vs the rss is daft though
Mondays should help; I wish they weren't the last day of a warchest
releasing a new feature that won't be good for most people for months is a lesson I thought they'd learned to avoid from the Court of Q but here we are
but that dilithium amount for 21 levels in the building is just dumb as hell
Mines only 11. Haha! Be a while for 21.
how many seals per chest?
1
Is that a 100 £$pack to make it 21
1 pack got it to 17
The first year you could get an event like this every 6 months
And really invest and have a good advantage
Now they give us them every month
I smell war in the air....it's getting interesting.
Could spill over after the event lol
Phaser residue and photon torpedo residue gets me excited
Da da da da da da dum da dum da dum
Charlie don't surf!!!
Did you really enjoy missions...
Use a miner
Speed crew on a miner is good lol
Until you need 30m points
I meant for mission safety. For events just be quick lol
New war room is awesome even the smallest members of alliances can hunt opc and score points for war chests.
What’s big, green, has four legs, and would kill you if it fell out of a tree and landed on you…..?
…..,a pool table! 🤪🤣
It’s funny because you wouldn’t expect it to be in a tree
I’m just bored waiting for my game to update.
I think that penguin is trying to tell you something dude
Well my mom do be big 😂
@heady moon I appreciate what you've been trying to do for communicating the last few days. I've seen an uptick on Reddit as well. Game issues aside, who will take on communication for the next two week (enjoy your time off)?
I nominate candle!
@heady moon why you running away? Too much blow back from the pvp game change.
Right! 😆
odd that for one of the worst arcs yet, hte CM is "on vacation" for most of it......
They do deserve vacation but i agree a good CM should be present for this. This is the MOST active i have seen this server and 99% is negative so sometjing needs to be done. Too little too late though.
Been 30 mins and my game has stalled updating
🤦🏻♂️
EDIT: it just finished after 35 mins 🥵 this is ridiculous
Are you suggesting scope had made a product that is anything less than perfect, that the game may even have such a thing as a flaw and that the player base may find a reason to contact a cm
I figured out the meaning of The Meaning Of The Message mission: Scopely is the N'quz!
Gospel
I've seen more than a few people quit playing over this latest update
Congrats, Scopely made PvP boring.
“Here is your new community manager also we are fundamentally changing how the game works, also I’m away on holiday now byyyyeeee”
Global pvp RUINS every other aspect of the game. Wtg scopely for trashing your own game.
for you*
Pretty sure I’m not alone on this.
Hard to do the jelly event when the system is full of whales killing you ever few seconds
And neither are the people that like pvp and like the events
Does anyone know when territory resets? I cant seem to find a date
After the end of this one.
Nah. Working fine for me
Speaking of…. Where are you my little Ray of sarcasm… 😉
Do all 3 x lvl 26 faction ships have cloaking abilities, for the cloaking dailies?
Only Rom and Klingon in g3 (except the ent) have cloaking
Thank you 👍
Anyone else thinking about quitting?
iirc all Fed epic ships have cloaking, and the G6 unc and rare have cloaking
Quitting is for quitters, we don't take kindly to quitter talk.
G5 and below unc and rare do not have cloaking
I’ve noticed mining nodes have never been more abundant. Not sure if folk quit or just popped 7 days. Or maybe 3 day, since it’s only Wednesday
I’ve never seen our server as empty as it is today/this evening.
I wish obsidian hamster a nice holiday. Unfortunately, we players are not having a good time here at the moment.🙈
STFC is in my opinion more than lightyears away from Gene Roddenberrys Idea of Star Trek. STFC is now nothing else than a Punch Up, instead of creating things like a federation of planets, as it ments to be. A lot of us are quite sorrounded by the daylie terror of wars and terrorism. This game should be an escape from it and not just reflect the reality into a virtual reality. As long as I see scope will continue the way they are, I will prefere to play some other games and of course Not supporting them by spending time and money. This actually is a waste of time and Money. LLAP
Depends on roe and how we go forward from current pvp events to the basic War Room design. Upc miners score for the War Room. I think most are keeping it to opc, but that and Monaveen autogrinding, autogrinding in general, will probably need to be looked at by servers
Is there any research that raises only the PvP performance of faction ships
Miners count, yes, all week at least. So safety depends on how your server is treating it. On mine, miners are generally left alone unless they’re also OPC. But yours may be different.
Moanas auto farming are not safe on my server.
Ok
Can I get whatever they are smoking please
Been here 5 years (beta nov 2019). Leaning towards console again after this arc
How do I shorten the grind for Stella
mona grind used to be passive...
This ship looks like it’s just unobtainable
For one rn there’s no way to kill eclipse hostiles because the moment the ship goes in system it dies
And the ship can’t be obtained by whaling
How to obtain a Stella? You gotta wait for a store event with credits
Swarm systems and Borg probe systems seem to still be friendly (as in if you send a ship into it it won’t get blown up instantly by another player)
Turn your credits in for Stella prints or any ship prints
4400 eclipse security codes per 80 credits, 1000 credits needed
And as said the moment any ship warps into an eclipse system someone kills it
PMC on a big ship to hit eclipse hostiles is the default way; the much better way is to have a friend with a stella in a different alliance fill their cargo with security codes and donate it to you
however it sounds like you'll need to wait for at least the SLB to end to not get PvP'd
this arc has definitely increased many loops
Why can’t I make a reaction to your post lol. Keep clicking 😂 but it’s going away
Is there any store pack that can bypass the grind for Stella
A second Stella from event stores can be very helpful. One Stella to scrap, one Stella to grind/hit armadas. You get way more rewards for scrapping a maxed Stella. Oh, and the loot bonus for Stella rewards increases by its lvl, so having a high lvl/maxed means more loot in general
Anyone ever been charged 99.99 for buying a 19.99 pack? xD
I’m just gonna go with delayed Stella obtaining
Too much hassle
Might end up past level 31 without a Stella
have you max a single stella yet?
No I don’t even have the blueprint for one lol
There’s no way of obtaining it other than extremely tedious grinding
I’m either going to get a bigger ship and hit the higher level eclipse hostiles or buying the thing with money
If that’s even possible
Cuz rn it’s not showing in the store
So the first Stella you get is free, you obtain it from playing the missions in the game.
Getting a bigger ship means going to ops 28 or even 34
Wait what
I’m pretty sure that’s no longer possible
As far as im aware, its part of mission tree line
This thing?
Ohhh Correction, you unlock the rouge store by playing the game then you start to buy the blueprints for the stella.
🤣
the stella is absoloutly not worth spending money on
here we go again with bugsplat
200% not worth
300%
1000%
If it’s 20 dollars then it costs less than the time I would need to spend shooting eclipse hostiles
Time isn’t for free
You will never stop hitting those hostiles. even with the Stella.
Ahh yes, but you're already playing the game, something like the Stella, you will get over time, Same with Titan.
Same, but i help with the armadas in the events
Is the K’tinga as slow as the Bortas
Tiny bit faster, Battleships are always the slowest of the 3
Did a quick check, I don’t think I have the crystal to progress
I have enough crystal to get a Sally to t5
Not taking into consideration that which will be spent in researches
And buildings
And Vidar
Where do people get g3 mats
if your total critical damage boost (base, research, etc) is less than opponent's critical damage reduction, you can fire 0 crit damage.
Ohhh...this is the result of the latest change in crit right?
not sure what you are referring to with lastest change.
but 0 crit damage issue was there for decades.
not available yet
ao the button will show up somewhen
Events, Battle pass, refinery, Everything takes time, as much as EVERYONE wants the next big thing now, unless you want to spend really money, and i mean spend spend, sometimes you can be waiting weeks, if not months for the next ship.
I have the ft - see the neighbour button
focus on this, it will help with that
Hi,
What is going on with the Territory pass?
The free progress is not tangible?
Did all participation in defenses, full score, and somehow the progress half. The event ends in 5 days. Any idea?
You only score on the battlepass what you score in the sms
once the sms is done, you're done with the battlepass til the next event
If you want to finish it, you'll have to buy a point pack
Scored in all sms so far, it is made in such way, the free progress is not really free?
you missed one
What are the reqs for the JKAL redemption code? It doesnt seem to work for me/
it's JGAL
Oh guess thats why it dont work...🤣 👌
they copy/pasted some data, and forgot to update the german name with the correct name.
in english it says "tarka's isolytic weapon"
Man I wonder if all server are as dead as the server I am on seems to be after this update.
Are these greens the ghost ships that was meant to be fixed with update? If so then an exorcist is needed, still in dq space
@dusty elm is it dead or did everybody actually park there ships lol
Little bit of both I think.
Yeah calm before the storm is what I'm thinking like mine is waiting for some one to kick it off lol
Joined all defenses and scored full in SMS. Is not possible this. Someone in alliance was skipped for battle pass overflow as well with a step and he did all dailies.
Something is fishy
you can contact support but I'm 99% sure you missed one, that's too many points for a bug
Can't use warships so how can I complete events?
@boreal garden why can't you use war ships?
Game crashes, can't move from system to system. Miners work.
Sounds horrible.
@stray shard how was the aftermath?
All kinds of finger-pointing, since we'd just come off a 7v1 alliance war.
The 1 was implying that the 7 threw it to spite them.
Sure didn't feel like it, there was some massive fights
Just a lot of lower levels getting caught with their pants down.
You guys had a lot of time to gather rss, most of our lowers were emptied personally by me and a few others, haha
One of your guys mentioned to me "feels like i'm driving through the hood and should be leaving them rss" with how empty the stations were
Yeah, the consensus (by those not trying to point fingers) was that we had a lot more resources as a whole, so a few slip-ups were massively more detrimental.
Ok nerd
I'm sure there actually were a few who tried to throw it for spite, though, since the one alliance the seven went up against has an admiral who thinks he runs the whole joint.
Never seen so many 39-45s with so much rss
Whole time "man wish my server was like this"
👀
You found the hippie server then
There are two kinds of servers that are easily defeated.
We have one dude who gets raided every single incursion, and then shrugs and POPS HIS TOKENS.
we got some like that
One where everyone hates each other so fundamentally that losing to punish the others is appealing. Hai 168.
What really stung, though, is that up until then we were undefeated.
And the other where they’ve “legislated” or otherwise encouraged raiding to not be a thing with ridiculous “no raiding after defence shows up” type clauses.
We had some screw ups early on but recovered pretty quick. In between getting my rear end handed to me by 8-9b cubes, there were just so many 40s with trillions.
Morning suckahs
Ah, cubes. Another thing I am glad to say I know nothing about.
and with a refit that will make them like discos, even better to not know about them
lol
At one point we'd "corrected" your early lead so it was closer to 50/50 but then someone with trillions and lots of sigma got raided for hours.
Sigma? 👀
g6 rss
Thing with sigma,, you have to empty all other rss to get to it
The new funny par/trit/dil
Don't think we managed to empty people that far
Anything over 1t, we'd get it down to like 100b and get interrupted and find something else to smack
Ah, so more looking after the whales by Scopes then?
can only be raided by the g6 surveys as well
So yes 🤣
“You muggles shall not have!”
The revenue nosedive becomes more and more understandable every time I’m in here 🤣
I think the new overlords just straight-up want to make F2P an impossibility, rather than just insanely inconvenient.
take the diplomacy markers out of the event and this would be a solid arc, the gorn loop is fantastic as long as you've at least went the bare minimum of unlocking the ent e officers and voyager officers
the war room would be a lot better if it was introduced after the mission sms was done
Imagine how hectic it would've been without the survey exemption
Still a pain in the butt for anyone that handles roe within their alliance or is in a leadership position and has to herd cats.
Sometimes I yearn for friendly fire options.
Heh.
woo, maxed out rom
Grats!
can finally use those engineering badges, haha
Anyone know how to start acquiring tarkas isolytic weapon FT
ill put it in the right channel
Maybe scopely should play this to learn how to get rid of bugs haha
That looks wrong on so many levels 😂
It's not been a good few days..
I dunno it’s been a great reminder of why I don’t play 🙂
I don’t enjoy seeing the community suffering, genuinely hurts me, but I am weirdly pleased it hasn’t got to a stage where I’d be thinking about a return 😅
Is there a trick to opening the war chest , we have hit milestone 3 but it's saying we have no war chest keys?
Should have them as opened two myself
Does anyone know how frequent the warchest will be avaliable?
Will be it continuous (week after week) or will it be monthly etc?
You need to contribute to be able to claim.
Oh that may be the issue , player didn't build war room before pvp event. Thanks a million
Think its weekly but it can be done by stealing materials from miners in less than a day
Yep, you have been scopleyed, contribution is needed, despite:
Yeah you would think the pve option would actually count 😅
thats how ALB/AMS events work
Nah. They’re counting on players being killed by someone at least once, so they’re “participating” despite not wanting to.
but killing one ship a week isnt a horrible thing lol
Have you read ther snippet i posted? It does not seem so
It's from the war room info page
What was the promo code for the mbenga shards?
means the building bonusses
like the shield health
iso damage bonus
Forgot it by the time I was logged in to the web store
BS
JGAL
for every AMS/ALB you need to do one thing to score, always, to get the rewards
Oh I thought it was JGUL that’s why it wasn’t working thx
...regardless of your participation in the EVENT
but whiteknight further
not whiteknighting, you just cant read
He is all sorted thank you ✌️
it literally says: war room facility
which means the building
which means these bonusses
Your death is sufficient, just wait to be killed, get points, ???, chest!
jgal
What a great film.
I remember that building!
168 were so rubbish it never got very far.
the subspace relay boost gave my sanctus 25m power boost with the new hull stats on it
Aye, it's nice having all my ships be at least 2M more in power.
I long for a possible return to my old server, with a transfer option,
The current server has a lot of bad eggs which is driving people way
Several player's in top Alliances have dropped out or jumped Ship to another one
Wave Defense
Increased new Grinding
Event scoring/ bug's
Incursion + purge
Plus bad player's/ other factors
All Have been to blame for the lack of players staying online Sadly
🤦🏼♂️👎🏼
You have to pvp or take opc as per the i icon bottom middle. 1 ship and you can claim
Yeah player is sorted thank you ✌️
The PvE aspect are significant buffs to your ship.
Player had forgotten to build war room before pvp event 😅
thats what she said 🤣
what's the trick to scoring 50 million points?
dry hump a station for 20k a pop, raid normally for 20k a pop, hit a bunch of opc iso
gas or crystal
station raiding scores?
the hit scores, not the material raided
cause there's no way i'm hitting 50 million opc at my level
It's allience based.
I managed to solo this by stealing lat 😝
Everyone inballiwnce scores towards this.
Absolutely not? People clearly don't read
finished it pretty quick during a raid and hunting opc iso
so only big alliances can do it then and only the ones who attack other players.
if i'm going to give myself an rsi, i might as well find one with resources in it.
It says in the description.
And yes, it's a pvp event.
I'm a solo allience and have finished this. It's not a difficult thing to do.
cause that's 2500 station hits, i wouldn't call that easy at all.
considering hostile cap is at 2000.
station hits don't do anything for the hostile cap
i'm saying hitting a station 2500 times is more than the daily hostile cap.
no one hits the hostile cap manually
so hitting a station that many times is not easy
I've hit the hostile cap manually numerous times
and i've surpassed that many hits in a raid
Pvp snd Stations don't count as a hostile.
You're also counting this as if you're doing this solo.
i know that, you're not understanding what i'm saying.
go iso hunting, go latinum hunting
no one goes around clicking things 2500 times in game.
been hunting all day, hasn't even made a dent in the 50 million.
I am, but you're also reading it as its the only way to do it.
Find a lat system. And just steal lat. 6 million points per kill, only had to kill around 8 ships
event will be running on monday, plenty of latinum there to finish it
If we where on the same server I'd have just sent you the lat miners to kill.
You've never seen me playing 😅
Don't have the vidar? Cargo for that is amazing 👏
How many people in your alliance?
thanks where abouts is this snippet info from?
and yeah maybe easier for a level 70 compared to a level 20 no?
Happens sometimes when grinding 12m rep in aday will do it an then there are the auto grinders use for scraping😅
Not really just find a pvp partner an realta spam🤷♂️
If you click in to the war building it's the dicription on how to score
yeah im on a farmer server, finding someone to pvp never happens.
Then just kill everyone as its for an in game event.
If people moan about it, they can take it uo with scopley.
It's a part of the game. And this current in going event calls for it.
My server is very farmy but we have rules.
Everything in fine to kill. Expect in token space and territory. The rule for territory is not in effect during s take over and token space and territory can be killed to clear for Incursion.
That way we can still do these events.
Cant ask a friend? Almost everyone wants to Finish the event on our server we have afew whales that put out small ships for the flowers to smack, might just have to ask people
Flowers is a new one 😅
Also even the farmers on my server Kos'd everyone because they get more points that way🤷♂️
I love how the community manager out for two weeks on vacation when the game is in crysis... that is fantastic (and delibrate) timing
the only crisis is people worried about the state of their pixels...
and we still have coverage from scopely, just not hammy
Ahh so the only crysis is people who play the game concerned about the game and in a pretty huge % withholding buying packs until some changes are implimented... Glad we cleared that up
Scanning
Connection issues
Scanning
Connection issues
All I see 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Rubbish is what I say
Who asked for quantity over quality as I am swamped with cr@p to scroll through in the events tab just to find my dailies bucket to activate that it's beyond ridiculous. There's so many things to scroll past you give up actually looking and seeing what they are for especially anything that has heroic on it as a ftp.
Everything is LAG in top of Lag
" Heroically unplayable "
Everyone seems to have jumped Ship 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Not the kind of behavior you'd want to see from a Admin none the less
Obviously the CM should take his vacation and stay on it, not his fault what the developers have done.
But maybe a Admin shouldn't exactly be cocky and go full on 
And be upset that people don't want a game thats unplayable for them for days , weeks, when they have spent the money that pays their salary.
red shirts aren't paid
Quick questions
If you haven't been able to do your Dailies due to PvP event press 😡
Or you only did some daily press 🤔
If did all your Dailies press 👍🏼
Or press 🍋 if you think The game is a 🍋
I have multiple ships lurking at various mission points, none of them have been hit so far... dailies have been uninterrupted.
Maybe I just have a dead server 😐
it's also early morning, heh
No issues whatsoever for dailies. Pvp has been refreshing and has given life to some people
I got hit a couple times in missions yesterday, went back 10 mins later and got through them
You are probably posing the wrong poll there. Scopely don't care about your dailies, my dailies or anyone elses.
I used to spend on the game, I stopped because all that spending did, was prolong the time I was trying to compete with people spending vastly more than me.
The more interesting question (That Scopely should be interested in) is - Have you stopped or reduced spending due to pvp bands, event bands.... etc
Only on SLB due to the 60’s that’s just 💩 (not that I spent $$ specifically on SLB)
Everything else has been ok for me. PvP has always been crap banding lol. There will always be someone bigger 🤷♂️
anyone else experiencing game freezing up alot on pc version?
I guess that one right there just kills everything
Too hard for some
Roe is a made up thing anyway
regardless of OPS level
this is the first month since before Christmas I was briefly tempted by the store... lucky for my pocket book I seem to have broken that particular habit now 😂
No, you're playing smart. I'm lev 35 and have 0 issues. Part of the fun of this arc is adapting. You've looked at an issue and changed tactics. I think many unable or unwilling to do so
ROE is a made up thing so everyone can get along , you want a full on pvp game with full death where you loose everything, you shoulda played Eve online
Me? Or my sever?
that's the thing... I haven't
just carrying on as I normally would
I would say you in this case, when you say events supersede, so for a month people just shouldnt play the game ?
you have OPS 60+ killing OPS 40's
I imagine it went a little crazy around when the events first dropped, but I was busy that evening 😂
Interesting, I'm seeing alot of empty space on my server. Will try the same to see😄
got 5 ships out running this month and last month (and some old outlaw) missions 😂
War room is long term…
I engage in PvP, our server never agreed to coddle warships this merge (too many people tanked the votes).
I’d concede banding g6 with g6 but I get hit and hit, give/take 🤷♂️
But dailies have been mostly safe for our server.
People can play for a month. Pvp is a dynamic the same as pve and mining are. Just need the balance
I'm also a little omgwt-bbq over the boosts to the exborg exchanges... I'll be finished with stella loop entirely in ~2 weeks now instead of 5 months 🤣
shame the rep doesn't convert to something useful
They need to find a better solution to pvp. Where pvp becomes a daily you can and want to participate in. Seperate from pve tasks.
The issue we have is that it's very easy to go blow up a bunch of pve ships (mining, pve hostile farming, armadas) without any consequence.
The only response is escalation, doing the same to their alliance, which quickly leads to all out war and nobody doing anything until we get bored of chasing defenseless ships.
Incursions are 99% the broken pvp model. Only difference are the participants are separated at the end and sent "to their bedrooms" 🤣
From what i've been reading on alot of servers, you have the full on whales spending thousands every month , camping all of the dailies area and the mission areas and just straight killing everyone as soon as they barely have entered a system, its just full on griefing now sending people back to the station for repairs that well , how long does it take to repair a OPS 40+ ship ? if you're not p2w and buy every booster known to man to get your ships back out there right away
it takes time to repair things? 👀
Or speed ups
you don't have a functionally bottomless pile of those?
what is the incentive to repair and go back? Why would I do that instead of putting up a shield and going to mow the grass?
I'd go mow the grass if it wasnt raining all the time 
Do not talk to me of grass
we're on clay, and it's been raining every other day pretty much since December... as soon as I step on it I have a puddle around my boot 🤣
i need to mow the grass but everytime it's dry enough it rains again
I aerated it the other week in the hopes that would help.
All its done is make mini puddles which are filled with 30cm of water 🤣
lol
backyard looks like a swamp
complete with a tree branch that has grass covering it now
my dogs will sometimes stand on it and look out over the 'lake"
The trouble is the incentives they try are in game rss. So players just arrange fake pvp to hit the sms and ignore slbs. Those that want to take part in slbs have no targets.
I honestly feel the pvp system is based on too many factors buildings research skins crew and ops and power gaps between levels would still in many cases be unbalanced it used to be within reason but with the ops cap raised it has gotten out of control
I have no idea if the inclination or ability is there for it... but what if pvp scoring was done against player or ship level the same way as hostile scoring?
What impacts would that have?
How many more officers do we really need I get lost trying to crew with the ones already in game and how many versions do we really need of the same officers too much is being added and pvp aside the shear amount of things in the game is going to discourage newer players
mostly pvp seems oriented around the "I've spent 50k" set of players who enjoy the superiority that money has given them.
So you can either match that spend, or not engage.
I certainly see a few of those on our server, probably less the pacifist whales that kinda keep to themselves.
Should make it so if you punch up, more points, if you punch down, less points
I'd love to see punch down be negative points.
bring back that one event where hitting surveys gave negative points
That was fun
especially with all those people that mindlessly hit things without reading the scoring
the problem with that one was that people on the recieving end of those hits got negative points as well 🤣
Can we get a pvp like this next month say Q got bored and made it opposite universe meaning the small players without a chance would be buffed over their opponent by an equal amount
scoring has to work in a way that doesn't make negative point griefing a thing, but also doesn't leave the top 1% of players unable to participate... 😄
I think a punch up mechanic is very open to abuse. Would have to be a lot of rules built into the scoring to stop kill trading.
Lets face it, punching up is almost impossible now, unless you are fighting vs someone not expecting it (like hitting their pve ship)
you can't stop kill trading
So if hit by a player at 100mill more power than you you get a 200% buff ahh but the ones enjoying this would complain if they were the bug and not the windshield
Wouldn't negative point griefing be eliminated if they used the attacker flag?
unless they build the scoring based on player ID, and give zero points when the same ID is read
@heady moon Scopely broke my store. Cant buy packs if i cant log in. Havent needed to verify in 2yrs until arc launch. Now the verification emails either never show at all, or take so long to arrive that they are timed out and invalid. Again ", cant buy packs". Uh oh
I can see legitimate complaints from whales about not getting the value out of what they spent. So hard to see buffing a lower player ever being implemented
just reduce who people can hit to somewhere between 5-10 OPS level
Honestly a simple fix is available add a massive 30 minute debuff to players punching far below them
I don't want to tax their devs toooo much 🤣
instead of 60+ to 40+
there were ops 65s before a lot of players were breaching 60... there has to be a sliding scale of some sort
In war do you ask the enemy to pull their battleships and aircraft so you can have a fair fight? No, so leave the whales alone. Lmao
it probabkly is too wide, but still 😂
it's bad enough on new servers when the baby cetaceans push through the 20s when the majority are still in g2
but in a war you can't throw a shield around you whole country and go for lunch. Leaving that enemy sat their twiddling their thumbs until armistice day.
Its called "Star Wars Missle Defense" or a big shield. Lol
the point here is to encourage the people who would like to pvp to engage. vs the situation today where they are incentivized to be here on discord instead of in game.
I pvp always. And am on discord tooo much 
there will always be a group of people that don't want to pvp. Whether they are whales or minnows you wont change them. But I bet there is a decent percentage in the middle that would like and enjoy pvp if it could be more balanced. More me vs the other School dads racing 100m, rather than me vs the US Olympic team.
I remember on my server peeps were hitting massive ships with small ones and could use burning to take them down and..... I believe that burning was fixed so even when smaller players could band together it was taken away
I like the challenge of punching up personally. Feels good when an over inflated whale falls to my wee little Kelvin
from the feedback, the majority of the people don't want to be somewhere around OPS 30 or 40 something
and be griefed by OPS 50-60+ whales who have spent 100s of thousands of dollars on this game
It starts even lower though, a lvl 25 can be hit by a level 39 before they even get a faction ship 🤷 A fairer PvP bracket as standard would be best and probably easiest to implement
Correct.
To be honest if the burning still worked like that than many smaller players wouldn’t dislike this arc
At least MSF which scopely sadly also own now a days but ive played it for 2 years
my ranking bracket, nr 1 is 10m power above me
it has always been way fairer in that game
That is probably the best observation yet imo. Bring back the "Burning" whale killer. Simple mechanic that actually let smalls compete
there is no whales that are in the same pvp bracket and can murder you like that
bring back the og burning and let tal work on 60+ ships
Don't see the first ever happening, but us ECs are trying our best to get them to change the second
problem is that they don't want him working on 60+ hostiles, which I reckon is where that issue is from 😄
except he does work on 60+ players
