Oh yeah.. everytime I get a bit down now I remember them saying they were going to spend this year focusing on quality over quantity…. Then I laugh so hard I cheer right back up.

[fleet depot]

Fixing bugs doesn’t generate profit

[opaque viper]

neither does running off your player base... 😛

[fleet depot]

Shutting the game down will lead to legal trouble

People will sue if they whaled and the game just ceases to exist

I think STFC is just a side project of Scopely

They make Monopoly Go and generate plenty of profit from that

[acoustic grail]

What you call player base they call undesireables lol

[fleet depot]

The way they’re running this game shows their plan

Milk the existing players until they quit because the game is borderline unplayable

On mobile the mean time to failure is less than 20 minutes if active

[opaque viper]

EU has BBB laws that would give players to right to file for complete life of game refunds if they played within the last 180 days from my understanding.

[fleet depot]

From a technical standpoint the coding of this game is objectively garbage and the worst I’ve ever seen

[chilly temple]

An SLB only 10 places deep? Really?

[fleet depot]

[near bloom]

I needed uranium for my depleted uranium rounds on Starfield.

[dull mason]

LoL, how's that game doing..

[near bloom]

I love it.

Someone upsets me, I freeze time and shoot them in the face.

Also my wife is fairly adventurous in the bedroom.

She likes to use the rocket packs and stuff.

God bless Sarah.

[tranquil tinsel]

I got loads of that.. do you want some.

[near bloom]

Built an outpost, now I’ve got tons of it and pirates come for free target practice

But thank you for the thought ❤️

I love my Magsniper. 1200 base damage per shot 🤣

[tranquil tinsel]

I’ve just gone ng+1 and this time I’m going to do some outpost building

[near bloom]

Ah I’m NG+13 and maxed all my powers finally 😅

Outpost building is fun

[opal meadow]

Scopely is gradually lowering the quality update by update until we are grateful the game ends.

[spark creek]

Im at ng+10, I am not starting to play the game 😅

[fleet depot]

Exactly

[near bloom]

People whined about how grindy it was.

They really don’t know what a grindy game is.

[tranquil tinsel]

Wow! I did the same as I always do in Bethesda games and got far too sidetracked all the time. Need to focus and stop walking off looking at things.

[near bloom]

I invited them here, I wonder how many came.

[near bloom]

No no, wandering around getting sidetracked is how you find all the cool stuff.

[spark creek]

It took like 12 hrs, bam all the armors. Now I can build ships and outposts.

[near bloom]

Starborn armour is meh. Alright for starting out, sufficient for the occasions where ||Walter tries to jump you, so you slow time down and then supernova that greedy soul||

Don’t spoiler that one if you like surprises on your playthroughs

[twilit lintel]

@dull mason

[tranquil tinsel]

Yes this is true but I have spent two hours plus just walking around looking at trees at times… but I now have a new rifle and enjoy hitting spacer jet packs seeing if I can get them to shoot off into space or ceilings

[near bloom]

I don’t even mind Entangled now, as I can slow time long enough to clear a room before the aliens hurt me 🤣

[near bloom]

Oh that’s a fantastic pastime, I do like those fireworks

[dull mason]

Press that button ,,,in a couple of days..🤣

[tranquil tinsel]

Are you on pc or Xbox for starfield?

[near bloom]

Xbox

I did PC (Game Pass) for a bit but the time taken to sync games back and forth got tedious.

[tranquil tinsel]

Xbox here too

[twilit lintel]

LMAO

[near bloom]

I can lose hours taking photos

[twilit lintel]

you can get paid fo takin photos

[dull mason]

Try to do those personal Limited Events with Lat as rewards

[tepid lotus]

Out of curiosity, what are the submarine looking ships in the screenshot?

I don't recognize those in the Star Trek universe.

[silver parcel]

what submarine?

there's a destroyed saucer section, and the enterprise getting hit by the gorn

the laser is going through the enterprise nacelle

[foggy lark]

It's like magic eye ... Look past the image and unfocus your eyes... There's totes a space submarine there...

[long prism]

Does @everyone understand Isolytic Damage and Isolytic Cascade?

New Gorn hostiles and events this month to Deal Isolytic Damage can be made easier if you understand it!

In this Video I explain the maths ('math' for you 'mericans) behind this, what does Damage vs Cascade damage do to the final Isolytic damage numbers?
https://youtu.be/DPkvrkLhH0E
I show you where to easily find every source of Isolytic damage too!

Please share this with your teams to help them understand and take control of exactly how this very important element of game works!

[dull mason]

Apparently the 3 pointed ship's are on strange New world's

[thorn minnow]

@terse jackal I wish Star Trek Fleet Command Has USS Discovery A.

[dull mason]

Please 🙏 not another Grind...

[weary herald]

so like when is scoply gonna let us get this tarka isolytic weapon FT?

[fleet depot]

Question, why am I able to deal iso damage rn

I’ve never done any related researches and I don’t have an iso damage crew

[weary herald]

i dub this event Gornography

[fast plover]

https://tenor.com/view/haley-joel-osment-i-see-dead-people-sixth-sense-gif-11333995

[weary herald]

if the gorn reproduce is it considered child gorn? dodges a FBI slap to the back of the head

[fleet depot]

Are the G6 epic ships any good

I look at their firing patterns and it looks like if a G5 can just kill it within the first three weapons on round 1 it can literally get away with zero damage taken

With all the iso crews around that’s probably guaranteed

That said the G6 epics could still be useful for armadas and such

But useless for PvP of any kind

[wanton canyon]

You mean literally the same ship with an A painted on it

[graceful crater]

I see more advertisements on youtube and facebook for STFC…I doubt the campaign will even out the losses from this arc…whoever came up with the idea that it is a great idea that a lvl 64 can kill a lvl 50 certainly hasn’t played the game at all

this pvp event is going to empty the servers

[late elk]

in pvp they lose to g5s yeah cus of firing pattern

but thazts mostly 64 unc (or are they 63)

the rares and epics will probably be a diff story

havent seen much/anything about them rly

[fleet depot]

I’m talking about the epics specifically
They don’t fire until weapon 4 on round 1

At which point most G5 ships will have fired everything they have on round 1

[glad echo]

Sorry, but if your case looks bad, hiw about a lv 64 2 bi ship kills a lv 43 stella 2 mi !!!??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[late elk]

hmm thats the ent E at lvl 70

yeah not great

[graceful crater]

yeah, the bell ends on our server are also clearing the exchange space

[fleet depot]

Which with Freeman crew and all isolytic research, artifact and Bajoran favors could mean that anyone with a G5 will be able to kill G6 epics with absolute impunity

Taking no damage in return reliably

[late elk]

but once u get a lot more iso defense, maybe itll be a diff story

[quick gale]

The answer to this PvP is simple...have it be an opt in event...if you choose to join, your ship has a fun symbol beside it for the week (like when you boost with Cerritos) and you only gain points in PvP event by killing others with that symbol...galaxy-wide PvP fixed...you're welcome.

[graceful crater]

just limit it to certain systems out of everyones way

[late elk]

the 66 rares

have a better firing pattern

[quick gale]

That would work too...there are so many easy fixes, it boggles the mind that they always choose the hard path.

[late elk]

klingon one 😮

sorry thats rom

klingon is ...oof

[fleet depot]

G6 epic ships need a rework

[graceful crater]

this is on purpose to spawn conflict on the servers which are supposed to sell packs…what they achieve instead is people that would buy regularly a small pack are now leaving the game. The “value” of the packs is then a different story…Helldivers 2 sells for 40€ for a full game…

[fleet depot]

Unless they rework pvp, which they seem to not be interested in

[late pawn]

PVP also doesn't make sense because Specialty ships / events.

Since you always need to use a Stella for Eclipse, you just create sitting ducks unless you babysit them.

[fleet depot]

I not talking about the event but pvp crewing

Anything past round 2 not mattering is a big problem

It makes everything RNG-based

[quick gale]

I'm close, I'm not quitting, but I'm just doing dailies and sms events and turning it off for the day...which means I'm less invested, which means I'm more likely to spend less and leave eventually

[graceful crater]

crewing used to be interesting, then we got the strike team and a ton of new primes to boost stats

[fleet depot]

If Lorca doesn’t proc for example

You just die

End of story

If he does the battle ends on round 1

Ships need to be more durable in pvp

Ten times all existing hull healths would be a good start

[graceful crater]

yeah, but then you get those hull health and shield primes…

for only 2x 99€ 🤣

[near bloom]

You were witness to them buying a rep?

[hazy hinge]

He even did a countdown and at 0 I was chat banned

Because I disagree with him..

Or can a player impose chat bans?

[near bloom]

You only get chat bans saying things that get you chat banned.

All anyone need to at that point is report it

[hazy hinge]

Or if you own a rep

[near bloom]

They don’t own a rep 🤣

Been doing this a lot longer than you, they do not own a rep 😂

[hazy hinge]

Spend enough and you probably get 2

No one gets chat banned in 1 min.. without posting bad stuff

[hazy hinge]

He is phone shopping and wants to check compatability / experience with this model:

"Oppo A78"; 8g ram ,128gb storage, operating system android 13.1

[near bloom]

Just one guy who thinks people can buy reps, but otherwise I can’t seem to bait anyone into anything.

[tepid lotus]

Riots in the game or riots in cities?

“Better” is about all anything can do for STFC. “Well” is a pipe dream 😂

No mobile phone can play STFC well

I think most of the people that would riot in the game have put in long shields and started playing other games.

Bringing the MTTF over 20 minutes is impossible unless you’re completely idle

[near bloom]

Nothing and no-one can play STFC well.

FWIW I have a Pixel 7 and I swear it's got the least STFC issues of any device I've heard of. similar specs on the two at least so shouldn't be a problem being short on ram/etc

so is prime ship engineering worth it like $600 to max it out that gives 1000% efficiency on crystal gas and ore for ship components which means I only need like 4k uc gas to max enterprise

[inland shale]

ok

[near bloom]

Grind is a strong word though

Get one every bajillion chests

[inland shale]

I was in 50 and 52 systens and nothing

[near bloom]

I think decent drops are in Lv56+

[inland shale]

maybe 56 will be little bit hard for me yet

[shy hamlet]

you definitely can't grind an ent-a in any reasonable timeframe

not while you still need one, at least

[inland shale]

why?

[shy hamlet]

the drop rate is too infrequent in the systems you can farm with a g4r

[near bloom]

Because they want you to buy them.

[shy hamlet]

especially given that you need 650 blueprints

[fossil furnace]

i have 300 and none from drops

[fallen sage]

Why would you want one anyway? They are trash. Better off pushing to 53 and getting a G5 uncommon of your choice.

Could have gone 52

[rugged reef]

the game in a nutshell right now

[sinful parcel]

Base loot sure, but there will be events and such to speed it up. Just like the Command Center. A year later and just getting into the 40s.

[short pewter]

Soo from the chart in warchest chatt, do it mean that seals do not increase as WR increase?

[slow isle]

ah, now that one is a true classic, haven't seen it in a while

[ancient wadi]

It's bad design if anything default takes longer than the game will exist

[short pewter]

Seals for research

[near bloom]

Gives you two weeks holiday per year

[rugged reef]

i also am a big fan of the fact that i cant collect the keys from the war room, so i guess when they said you dont have to partake in PvP what they meant was you have to partake in PvP

[faint vessel]

at ops26 and w/c 26 --- why g2 ship parts??? 🤔

[chilly temple]

Tone deaf comms as usual. If you want players to engage with nre features - make it worth our while! There's no value at this point. Just like Xindi Armadas

[rough wharf]

Y’all should really invest in normal players to play test your dumb ideas before dropping these bombs into the game. At the rate things are currently going your going to crash the game long before any of it is fun to play. Wave defense is a joke, unless you have 2-3 allies lv 50 and above to help. The quite ones you need a excell spreadsheet to figure it out and the xindi too for that matter. As soon as the wallet warriors figure out that the game is not worth it. This game toast.

[misty pelican]

signed on to discord seen announcement, look at loot charts for war room. thought well that happened. then googled how to sale kidney to upgrade war room to get little less bad rewards for the drama, infighting, and grinding to get them.

[rugged reef]

its bad no matter the level

[acoustic halo]

Can we done with this brain dead arc, now surveyors are worth points.

The content writers are hacks at best.

[misty pelican]

yeah I don't think we playing the same game as there are.

[rugged reef]

the whales are playing wack a mole, the rest of us are playing dodge the dummy

[misty pelican]

@rugged reef this update has a lot of good updates and one really bad dumpster fire.

[acoustic halo]

Pull back to the fifty and shield

[pure yew]

just shield for the month and play better things

then youll find out it was never worth your time

[acoustic halo]

A bunch of options in the faction store are gone, you can't see your loot level anymore

[rugged reef]

yeah the dumpster fire just out weighs any good done this arc, plus any good is from previous arcs that shouldve just been good in the first place

[late pawn]

Dang. Those war room rewards suck no matter what Ops / War Room you have.

[acoustic halo]

You have a bunch of alerts you can't clear, that scoppely won't fix, just not important

[late pawn]

@lapis seal thanks for the chart. It definitely shows how bad this update is. Uuuuugh

[acoustic halo]

And they want money for the substandard content.

[misty pelican]

yes I agree you don't increase players satisfaction, Good vibes, by making the game harder but for the 1 percent of players

[rugged reef]

server ten is in the process of ripping itself apart, the largest alliance is just killing everything that they can, and the n when anything is said about it they jsut mockingly say "PvP is optional" lmfao they are tone deaf idiots actively killing the server as they spend thousands

[sharp flume]

I have a better idea about this whole forced pvp thing

[late pawn]

get rid of it.

I mean it was OK when the rewards might be worth it. But the rewards suck, they just told us.

No matter your Ops or Level.. JUST SUCK.

[misty pelican]

they do like rage spending. you increase drama they are going to spend to keep up or leave.

[sturdy forge]

I'm from 126 and people are leaving my alliance literally every few hours because of the same reason

[sharp flume]

https://tenor.com/view/dumpsterfire-flooding-fail-gif-13031064

[late pawn]

got killed running an armada earlier.. that was fun. Glad it's Eclipse Thursday.

[misty pelican]

it's not forced it what we already doing. I guess we suppose to find time to blow up 5 to 10 people a day. between the events, dailies, and endless inventory management called Grind loops.

[north peak]

Just buy a few packs of armada directives so you can then get killed for running them, simples

[rugged reef]

to all three of you, they are actively killing the game, and they know it, i guarantee that most of the whales are even noticing the decline in players but theres one specific one on my server that is actively championing this and refuses to acknowledge this whole arc is atrocious for engagement let alone the game

[late elk]

https://tenor.com/view/you-mad-mad-you-mad-bro-taunting-taunt-gif-7619222

[rugged reef]

well its hard to say with NO COMMUNICATION AT ALL

[sharp flume]

Not true with bassicly telling to kill people, and kill people everywere they made the entire map 1 big battle arena.

People that are primairly playing pve cant opt out on this. Its forced pvp no matter how you look at it!!

If it was balanced pvp it would be 1 thing but since there are no brackets for pvp and you can simply punch down its a feest for high lvl pkayers

[rugged reef]

yeah thats the large alliance on our server right now

[sharp flume]

So scopely can 💩 on this 1 because we sure will

[rugged reef]

yeah its forced PvP when people cant do anything with out other players hunting them down

i threw up a 7 day shield and im barely logging on now

[idle abyss]

I have done so too, will decide whether or not I want to come back to the game later

[scarlet tapir]

Yeah I’m on less and less now. The game is suddenly a lot less fun.

[late pawn]

NEWS FLASH: SCOPELY DOESN'T ACTUALLY CARE.

[idle abyss]

Truth

[misty pelican]

only thing that saved my server is we in prep for a merger, so we set out a few systems for baby jelly and 2 star ships and below and went after it. Also we set up iso exchanges for points.

[rugged reef]

i am not outright against PvP, but im outright against rewarding players to hunt people down and not let people do events in peace

when im being wrecked as a 41 by 50s and 60s that i couldnt have a shot against if they stopped progressing for two years... somethings broken

[coarse phoenix]

Careful too many facts is a bad thing for the general public

[foggy lark]

https://tenor.com/view/impossible-star-wars-mark-hamill-luke-skywalker-gif-5440327

[late pawn]

I think if you PVP at a mimimum you should be warp locked to that area for a set amount of time.

[sturdy forge]

making pvp events in territory or selected systems is too hard for scopely

[rugged reef]

they care about money, as people refuse to spend and leave they will change the way the events work

[late pawn]

5-10 minutes... So you can call in reinforcements and get payback

[idle abyss]

welcome to PvP in STFC, it has never been anything but a free for all for whales. There's no skill to PvP, there's no way to counter spending in PvP and the fact that a 53 player can hit a 39 is ridiculous

[scarlet tapir]

At this point it just is what it is.

[misty pelican]

well ok, I am off remember we where told 50% plus of players are enjoying this. so when you find them let people.

[sturdy forge]

this is not pvp it's straight player killing

[little violet]

Hate to break it to you but a ops 60 can melt a 39 too

[rugged reef]

im gonna go play a game i enjoy, ill be back around eventually, im sure the dumpster will still be on fire and the pitchforks will still be out

[idle abyss]

exactly the point

[sturdy forge]

your wallet is your skill 🤣

[late pawn]

You get killed... "Alliance Chat: Death200 Ops 45 is locked in Romulus for 10 minutes."

[idle abyss]

according to scopely, for sure

[split quarry]

People still complaining?

[late pawn]

Killing a locked player either doesn't lock you, or locks you for less time.

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-labeast-amir-matt-league-of-legends-gif-25933075

[misty pelican]

they have to justify they spending somehow and able to blow every player under ops 50 at once with a repair is a good goal I guess

[late pawn]

A lot of dumb dumbs claim PVP in STFC is skill. That's funny.

[idle abyss]

it's the skill of dropping a few thousand $$ 😉

[late pawn]

"Durr, I put on the PVP Crew that someone told me about, and durr.. I paid for a bigger ship.... I big kid now!"

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/looney-tunes-yeti-love-hug-smother-gif-14725734

[trim pendant]

a lot of dum dums think that there is PVP in STFC. There is not. it is WvW (wallet versus Wallet). the Whales do not want PvP. they say they want PvP, but they want WvW. They want to kill everyone with 0 effort and reprecussions to THEIR gameplay.

[late pawn]

Most PVP players are pretty smooth brained. Other ones do it because they need / have to. Smarter players realized it could be decent if Scopely fixed things.

[foggy lark]

https://tenor.com/view/bunny-back-in-the-box-nicolas-cage-gif-3530185

[pure yew]

pvp is funny if you are losing to someone some what close to your range with no primes all one person has to do is buy a prime and his win rates are more likely so theres no debate that pvp is lost cause lol

since theres 17 pvp primes

$1839 and your sure to beat that guys pixelated rental account

[late pawn]

Everything is Pay 2 Win, so that's not too surprising. Most just ignored it when it didn't directly ruin their enjoyment of the game.

[pure yew]

pvp was fun when primes werent a thing

[marble notch]

Whales don't like to vs each other because then they don't feel like whales anymore.

[late pawn]

But now it's "PVP IS OPTIONAL. YOU'LL LIKE IT, AND TAKE IT, OR QUIT. OPTIONAL!"

[pure yew]

but whales cried about burn

and enterprise owners cried about augurs

so they kept nerfing anything their rich payers cried about

[void minnow]

Yup, and you actually had to use your brain with crewing. Once Strike Teams came out, PvP wasn’t the same.

[late pawn]

Nobody has cried about how the Kelvin sucks compared to the K'Tinga? How if you go Federation, you unintentionally nerf yourself until you bring Klingon Rep back up higher? lol

[pure yew]

oh early early stfc was alot of star trek fans mad enterprise ships were weakest

2019-2020 was such a funny time

actually klingon were weakest

[late pawn]

I've been "playing" since the beginning. But I basically just checked in every once in a while for a few years after playing regularly for a year or so. And then came back a couple years ago

[pure yew]

yeah and there werent 530 currencies

woo man good times

overpriced and convulted mess it is now is so funny to see

[umbral arch]

Sending my kumari with Scotty on the bridge to 4 man a 17 mil armada

[late pawn]

They do a lot of things so they don't have to calculate implications. Everything is +100% to BASE.. So they don't have to worry about what it's actually doing overall. New Currency, so they don't have to worry about people saving any, or how much currency may be floating around allowing people to not spend money in the future... etc

[vital sand]

I wanted to know who the genius was who had this brilliant idea of leaving all the buttons with the same name without displaying the price of things, he must definitely be an idiot who looks at the players and thinks, how are we going to fool them today?
this game is really over

[late pawn]

If they did +100% to current .. You would actually notice a difference when doing research etc.

[late pawn]

They added "Quality of Life" to the Ex-Borg store, so they also had to make the store WAY more annoying to use in the process.

[little violet]

The idea was to make you have to click more instead of one button clicks... Cause there not enough 💩 to collect as it is.. Lets add another layer

[devout cipher]

When is scopely going to stop with forcing pvp? The only people I see consistently pvping are the wallet warriors. Or is that the only reason for the pvp, its for the wallet warriors so they spend more?

[dusky jasper]

And guess what? This isn't the first time scopely is ruining a game😂

[little violet]

Isn't that everytime?

[foggy lark]

Is there less lag if you wear less clothing? 🤔

[proven bolt]

*grabs lag reduction prime

[sinful parcel]

The only one of those I don't mind is the change to the faction message claim as now I can actually see how many I have saved rather than scour through a bloated inventory tab.

also stops me accidentally purchasing the commendation ranks by mistake 😹 🙈

[late pawn]

I did accidentally click on something recently that I would have liked to have the credits back.. before this update. But I'd rather have it back the way it was and accidentally do that, than deal with it currently.

[astral folio]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[faint vessel]

maybe this is part1 of something better? ie fixing the red pips or adding "are you sure y/n" or something else?

[acoustic grail]

Betting they did it cause they couldn't figure out a way to stop some store items from jumping around

[rugged reef]

YOURE FUNNY

[late pawn]

I think "Are you sure?" would also kind of suck. Just another click.

[rugged reef]

scopely would never fix something like that

[faint vessel]

not sure why the commendation ranks dont disappear once bought or arent necessary

[coarse phoenix]

Sounds like a new prime to me

[late pawn]

Maybe a tab for "Refund..." If it's within a minute or two of purchase.

[acoustic grail]

whole store would disappear if they tried 😝

[late pawn]

Commendation Ranks are the items the entire store is built on, you can't take out the building blocks!

[late pawn]

They're actually going to add "Buy 1 | Buy 2 | Buy 3" to more things.

[faint vessel]

like the inactives on the US server they tried to archive, but ended up archiving the whole server? 🙈 😹

[late pawn]

They could probably Archive entire servers now, and nobody would even notice! lol

[acoustic grail]

2 - 4 whales would be PO'd

[stark fjord]

so we can spend $300 per click 🤣🤣

how about a pay store slider so we can spend $10k per click 😝😝

Hey Scopely you have outdone yourself with this latest arc. It is awful, I can't play the game for all the people going crazy with the forced pvp. Another month and the game will implode

[oblique prism]

And so you can tier up you building in 5 years! 🤣🤬🚂🤬🤣🤬🤣🤬🤣🤬

And by regularly they mean twice a month

Scopely can HONK on BOBO

[pure yew]

buy da packs.. woo ghost voice buy the packs… wooo do it you look cool spending money boooo DEW IT- palpatine

[true vale]

You can tier it up right now if you desire! 😅 PSA, if you're gonna be a spender, spend. If you're not gonna be a spender, just enjoy whatever parts of the game scopely decides is fit and accessible for free to play users. Stop being shocked and upset and enjoy what you can. Makes the game much more fun😁

[oblique prism]

Thanks for the wonderful life advice. I shall cherish it for eternity 🥰

[true vale]

Clowned!? I'm hurt 😢🤣

[sterile mountain]

Have we figured out how long it takes to level up the war building thing to a useful level yet?

[pure yew]

nah i dont care to look it up tbh

itll sit rotting like majority of the stuff that has released this year

🤣

[oblique prism]

I don't mind spending, I just mind false advertising

[mental plume]

Would be interesting to know stats of how many quit this arc

[pure yew]

boy they been false advertising for years

[oblique prism]

True

[pure yew]

still find it funny steve aoki called this game crap and hes in the game

🤣

[flint ruin]

So every second week, for a week? That’s the war room schedule?

[oblique prism]

Well you can't really take anything that comes from the lips of Scopley as true so who knows. But twice a month is what is seems. So full blown war for half the month. But with all the pvp hate they might reduce it further. Who knows, we are at their mercy

I think right now At twice a month it will take 10 years to max the building

[flint ruin]

That does not seem consistent with the “12 months to tier to ops” or whatever it was they said…

[shy hamlet]

I can only imagine next month adds more sourcing for war room upgrades somehow

[crimson garnet]

Is this the Bully, Rage, and Threats (BRT) Arc? i.e. Bully - High Levels camping on mission locations and preventing much lower level players from doing the missions. Rage - If anybody tried to hit back on them or take their opc. Threats - then threaten players and their whole alliances. LOL

[flint ruin]

They’re not going to source currency for upgrading the PvP room with PvE events…that I’m pretty sure of, lol…

I’d love to be at the weekly analytics meeting for this arc…super curious…

[stark fjord]

is gorkon/khan/bones good for yellows on enterprise ( I currently have spock and kirk on away teams)

[acoustic grail]

isn't terrible, I usually use yuki,harrison,khan

[late pawn]

Who cares? Even upgraded it pretty much sucks.

[shy hamlet]

the building itself is good upgraded even if the war chests currently aren't

[late pawn]

Yeah. About the only thing. The building is decent. But would like to see the rewards be decent for all of the trouble. Maybe not Treasury good. But way better.

[stark fjord]

I dont have harrison anyone to replace him

what about zhou or marcus

[acoustic grail]

either work, just boosting yuki is the main goal

[pure yew]

dang i ignore treasury so much i forgot it exists

[flint ruin]

Just looked at mine…after this cycle, 6 weeks to get to T6. Typical time increase is 10% per tier so…yeah, it maths out to 8+ years for the building to reach my ops. And you’re higher than me…

That’s a lot of pvping…

If they move to a model of half building events, half other sources…4+ years.

[stark fjord]

well it seams 3.7m enterprise tier 3 is still not enough for a 5.7m yellow hostile

[late pawn]

Minus taking 6 months to open one, it's not bad payout.

[stark fjord]

that time it took all of the shields but I cant eat though the hull so much

[pure yew]

eh i get more resources without it

[flint ruin]

It is awful for my ops, lol. Completely inconsequential.

[shy hamlet]

try Yuki/Kirk/Zhou

if an ent is your best ship kirk doesn't go on away teams

[pure yew]

$100, treasury token, $20 battlepass , $20 flash battle pass, $50 territory battlepass, $20 wave battle pass

montly if you want it all

higher than car insurance 🤣

[stark fjord]

see

[late pawn]

What Ops level?

[little violet]

ent sucks without kirk

It relies heavily on shield mitigation

[thorn plinth]

Could you sub in weyoun

[silver parcel]

Zhou is useless without morale

[little violet]

WEyoun only works on players

[silver parcel]

Replace khan with kirk

[stark fjord]

well in 33mins I can get kirk back 😅

[little violet]

To be honest I would replace Zhou with kirk

Shield strip works just fine

[late pawn]

Speed up your away team.

[stark fjord]

just did and used the rest of the speed ups I have

[remote portal]

You forgot that we have two treasuries now

[late pawn]

If you mean War Room... That thing ain't no Treasury.

[pure yew]

wild

the flash treasury

[silver parcel]

he means the second treasury they've been running each month

[shy hamlet]

there's the flash pass "no officers extra ship parts" treasury now too

[silver parcel]

that has ship parts

[remote portal]

The ship parts only treasury

[late pawn]

Oh. I didn't even notice because it's only been 3 months since I grabbed the last one.

[silver parcel]

You didn't miss much

it's crap

[pure yew]

same cost of $100 though right?

[silver parcel]

yes

[remote portal]

Yep

[late pawn]

The best part of Treasury has been the Lat. And it's only good if you're getting a free one.

[little violet]

Of course

[pure yew]

damn so $310 a month if you want every thing

[stark fjord]

you also forgot $100 monthly daily elite claim 😝

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/rookie-numbers-gif-26135237

[little violet]

They are getting ready to add more syndicate levels...

[pure yew]

and you have to complete every event

crazy lol

[flint ruin]

Oh sorry - if you’re were talking OG treasury, yeah, that one is decent. Agreed.

[late pawn]

Pay with a credit card and get 1-3% back in rewards!

[little violet]

Next arc will be mantis-A and more syndicate ...

[pure yew]

glad i only do dailies

[little violet]

I am back to my $20 a month now...

[remote portal]

Territory pass is each quarter rather than each month, and most months there’s only 1 flash pass… but yeah, we’re way beyond the old $20 BP + $10 FP budget

[late pawn]

Also if anyone buys anything .. make sure it's through the Webstore. The only decent ROI. With the bonus.

[stark fjord]

also tomorrow I do my ascension event and can go 40 anytime I feel like I am ready 🙂

[split quarry]

Say it ain’t so

[remote portal]

Just leaving money on the table if you don’t get multiphasic

[spark creek]

don't buy anything at all, just rewarding garbage game making

[late pawn]

Don't wait. I went to 40 with a Tier 5 Ent. Saw no issues. The only thing is you may want to be at the start of a BP. Because you'll want to get the 4* it gives. That you won't get if a BP is already in flight.

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/its-so-fluffy-gif-5749188

Wait until you are actually ready, it’s a point of no return

[pure yew]

they chose the worst third party for that though a saudi owned company that instantly disables your account if you get refunded at all lol

[little violet]

We're all Scopely's fluffers

[late pawn]

Also charges more than other integrated Webstores. They pay 5%.

[limpid patrol]

With a 40+ day event I’m figuring next arc is more of the same

[pure yew]

had an account for a japanese purchase item and shipment got sent back and requested a refund they disabled my account

[urban grove]

Give me the fluffy unicorn and no one gets hurt

[pure yew]

reviews are always bad for any company associated with scopely lol

probably a criminal monopoly tbh

[stark fjord]

I can do the ascention event whenever the ascention keys wont go anywhere I can save them as long as I want but I want to get rid of the ascention event now that I got the entperprise so I dont see it every friday

[little violet]

And your neighbor will keep watch of all your stuff as he cooks his meth in the backyard 🤣

[late pawn]

You will see it until you ascend. So there's that.

[little violet]

I know all parks are not like that, but had to

[late pawn]

Or to be clear, getting the key allows ascension. But until you ascend to 40, the event comes back every Friday. We had an alliance member that didn't know and kept doing it.

[flint ruin]

Nobody is ready. The grind gets way worse after Ascenscion.

[late pawn]

I disagree. My game got way easier. I'm only 44 now, but 39 to 44 the grinding is night and day easier.

[stark fjord]

it takes 124 days to upgrade ops to 40 so I can just start it and let it run and by the time I am ready to go to 40 I speed the rest up and then be 40 🙂

[warm pivot]

i still struggle with the huge amounts of g4 uncommons required to up the buildings, but treasury and battlepass might help a little

[umbral arch]

We used to air bnb one room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!

[late pawn]

Yeah. I mean that's all just time though, basically. And doing events. But freebooters and Jem'Hadar make things easy. For dailies. And then the other stuff I do when I feel like it.

[warm pivot]

yeah, but the highest goal for me personally is 42 now. wanna finally get my hands on a better ship to be able to do xindi, silent and gorn grind more easily. seems like i picked a great month to ascend ^^

[azure quail]

You were lucky to have a room! We used to have to live in a corridor!

[late pawn]

I went to 44 pretty fast. Hasn't made things more difficult. Just easier.

The hardest grind was needing credits for warship. Had to do missions (yuck)

[warm pivot]

those are already saved up, planned ahead a year ago ^^ it is just, so much material..

[late pawn]

Yeah. I broke down and paid for the $19.99 BP and got the multiphasic through Webstore. It helped.

[warm pivot]

thats an idea, thx my dude

[flint ruin]

There are pockets when it’s not bad. Let’s have this conversation again after you hit the wall at 46. I got fooled by 43-44 as well…and then the pain started.

If you’re a spender, none if this matters, of course.

[umbral arch]

Luxury. We rented a shoebox in the middle of the road,.

[late pawn]

Wouldn't say I'm a spender. But I do get the BPs lately. When they have something I want. The $19.99 one.

[little violet]

$20 for $100 worth a rare is okay with me

[azure quail]

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o’clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

[remote portal]

As long as you’re sure that within that 124 days (don’t forget to account for alliance helps reducing that by 15% or whatever depending on your alliance level), you can have at least 1 maxed g3 epic, at least 1 maxed faction miner (to reach g4 token), most research requiring g3 mats done, are able to handle rare & epic solo armadas, and max & scrap a few 26 faction ships…

40 is also not a goal, you want to get to 41 immediately if you can

[stark fjord]

so that plan will be to max out that one prime $600 is worth it for that and I can then max enterprise and all 3 of my faction miners for really cheap

[remote portal]

Which prime; prime efficient ship engineering? You can only get up to level 4 at 39

[stark fjord]

yeah that one I didnt know it was ops locked

well I guess I have to blow through to 56 becouse I am not upgrading any ships until that is maxed

[brave ore]

[stark fjord]

well I guess I will be the first player to do that 🤣🤣

[bitter temple]

https://tenor.com/view/dreams-shia-motivation-dont-let-your-dreams-be-dreams-gif-4777431

[late pawn]

You don't need to do any of this to go to 40. But people are free to if they want to delay for no reason.

[stark fjord]

not too bad this is all I need 😝😝🤣

[humble orbit]

Dolamides have a f2p drip these days, btw. Buy them now only if you need the efficiency in the short/mid term.

[lethal coral]

Just need the new g4 and g5 primed for building efficiency and you'll be there In no time 😆

[remote portal]

Need, maybe not, but if you want to ease the pain of switching economies, they help a lot.

[late pawn]

I went up with a G3 Epic Tier 5. Antares at T7.

Was easy peasy.

[lethal coral]

Honestly if you are spending money I would def jump to 40+. The packs got a decent jump in value from 39 to 40.

[remote portal]

I’ve got plenty of members struggling by doing the same. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Wouldn’t recommend it, but glad it worked for you.
If you’re a spender things are easier, obv.

[late pawn]

My dailies got 10x easier to complete.

Everything got easier. Until they added PVP. Now it's easy, I just have to pay more attention lol.

[thorn plinth]

Lol 56 with a g3 epic would be rough lol

[late pawn]

Yeah, talking 39 to 40. Not something nuts like 56

I'm sitting at 44 now, but will probably move up at the next opportunity.

[quasi ember]

any good tips for dealing iso dmg to hostiles for noobies/low level players? thanks

[thorn plinth]

With some specialty ships mixed in its doable

[late pawn]

Need Janeway, Ent-E Picard, Ent-E Data. Really.

[late pawn]

Yeah. But would make your life somewhat more challenging for no reason.

[late pawn]

The Voyager Warp Range allows you to hit tons of Armadas you shouldn't. And some other benefits that weren't always available.

[quasi ember]

janeway as captain?

[thorn plinth]

I can do my dailies now at 49 with my monaveen voyager talios so if he kept them up as went it could be done.

[late pawn]

That's who I used. I tried Picard as captain and didn't survive as well.

[quasi ember]

thanks

[late pawn]

Yeah. If I focused all my resources on my special ships and tiered them up, they do get somewhat strong.

[thorn plinth]

Monaveen is 28.5m that's not bad really

[shy hamlet]

I actually need a good pilum and crew for my dailies but that's mostly to do with having pushed my rep well past the 1b lock making my freebooters moderately challenging

[late pawn]

That is something that made my late 30's rough. My rep for Fed was too high, my rep for Klingon and Rom was in the toilet.

[shy hamlet]

yeah, in the 30's i can see that being a major pain

[thorn plinth]

Same Newton makes it all easy peasy. But core stuff could be done

[late pawn]

Once I locked Rom/Kling at 10m, I kept going with Fed. But was able to do dailies for Rom/Kling giving me a great source of repair speeds up and making sure I could get a daily token every day.

[shy hamlet]

since I know a cerritos lets me kill L60 freebooters i've decided to just go wild with rep, but if it wasn't an informed decision I'd be kicking myself right now

[stark fjord]

why is there no favors for ship effencity that is not tied to ops level

[late pawn]

Soooo many things are Ops Locked. It's also the reason you just keep going up.

Higher Ops is almost always going to be better.

[sturdy nexus]

Best arc they ever created.

[late pawn]

I've also given some suggestions on allowing you to take paths in research. Because they could make it so we aren't all the same.

"You can do this, that, or that.. but not all three."

[quasi ember]

well that didn't work out well for me, i died on the first hostile i hit. lol

perhaps there's an iso pvp crew i can try instead?

[late pawn]

What Ops Level, Ship, and Tier?

[quasi ember]

26

[pure yew]

helldivers 2 has new weapons come join the better game

[late pawn]

Oh, Gorn is out of your range. If you're doing ISO for the event use the PVP crew. If you have it.

[quasi ember]

what's the pvp crew and i assume i use it to pvp ?

[late pawn]

Yeah. Seven does PVP ISO. I forget who else.

Not really into PVP. It's broken.

[stark fjord]

then tell the game programers to remove the ops requirement for the prime efficent ship engineering so I can have that 1000% at any level

[idle abyss]

I used E Picard with E Data and Janeway on my Enterprise to kill Gorn. Granted I stacked the LD with Paris, Mariner, Kim, E Troi, Hugh, Tendi, and Odo

[quasi ember]

yeah not looking for gorn, just looking for low level, noobie tips.

[idle abyss]

ah

[fleet depot]

God’s largest Stella

where can I spend it, can anyone tell me?

[silver parcel]

it'll be a while

Your grandkids might be able to enjoy it

[fleet depot]

50 weeks

1 year

[sage canyon]

thx😉

[drowsy cypress]

1 full year for an upgrade that would increase your actual damage output about 4%

[fleet depot]

that's assuming it runs every week

who's in your pfp

[drowsy cypress]

me? me.

[silver parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/boromir-break-out-some-ale-thirsty-sean-bean-lord-of-the-rings-gif-11824974

[pure yew]

0.04% gotta remember its off base number

any percentage label is fake news

[late elk]

the best thing ever is when people come to discord and say I got a 50% off research but my cost only went from 1200 to 850! Why isn’t it 600!??!

That fills my heart with such joy

😆

[drowsy cypress]

Yeah i know that's why i said 4%, the total of all +Base research is like 8000-9000%

[pure yew]

the best for me is when someone buys a prime and thought their ship should double in power

and then another new prime comes out and they do it again

[fleet depot]

where can I see a mathematical breakdown of all my numbers

like, what is the base

and how much percentage bonus I have

[pure yew]

spocks club probably

[drowsy cypress]

For some of them, yeah, some you just sorta have to manually add it all up

[fleet depot]

thx

are they making the war room event permanent

so now every week it's pvp non stop

[finite burrow]

When the game has a tier for players they designate as "vip" without any public definition, which gets preferential treatment, with most in-game purchasable content being pricepointed at $99USD, a private VIP discord, and still, still can't manage to make a playable game even for them, well, it is coming close to time to pack it in. I mean, I've bought a few thousand in packs in the slightly less than a year I've played, and well, I'm still a small fry and don't matter to Scopely. Why should I bother when I can buy a complete game experience, for significantly less, elsewhere? This PVP event just makes the situation worse, and I expect even the whales are losing their minds on their super-duper secret server.....

[fleet depot]

prime pvp range research

reduce the maximum level of players that can hit you, but not the other way around so you can still hit their miners

99.99 USD per level, 10 levels

[pure yew]

rather quit if that was a prime

lol

[opaque arch]

Scopley ☝️

[fleet depot]

lmao

anyways, just passed 2M rep on both fed and rom

are G5 rare and G6 rare miners needed

Nova and Selkie exist

[humble orbit]

G5 rare miners are great at mining iso. They can mine it at the same rate as meridians, but without the low pc flaw that they have. They're worth it to me, but might not be if your server protects Origin space.

[late elk]

lol do they really

a 60something guy on my server has the g5 rare ships that are about 500 mil power each

lol

[twilit lintel]

when will the treasure thing come back

[humble orbit]

Vidari can also bounce off of them. 😈

[late elk]

second week or so of every arc

[twilit lintel]

ahh ok

when is scoploey gonna remove this arc LOL

[humble orbit]

Used to be thursdays of week2, but they've been pushing wednesdays lately.

Day2 of the new arc. You're in for a long ride. 😃

[fleet depot]

my server is kinda weird
people like to start wars for stupid reasons with the intent of causing another alliance to disband

and everyone has a different ROE

[late elk]

after last merge, my server has no roe anymore

at war with 2 alliances

lol

[fleet depot]

why is the Franklin so bad

[late elk]

cus it aint relevant anymoire

[fleet depot]

It’s complete trash at shooting swarms

T5 Franklin nowhere near as capable as Vahklas

It can take as many level 26 swarms as the Vahklas can take 28s per hull

(T7 Vahklas, all T8 components other than weapons upgraded; T5 Franklin, all T6 components other than weapons upgraded)

That’s around typical for a player that just gets to ops 26

[humble orbit]

It had the advantage of repair cost back in the day. Also leveling took longer so it was better developed vs other ships then.

[little violet]

It's not it just take a lot of work to make it good

[fleet depot]

It takes way too much work to make it good

Oh and it’s level capped
I looked at the weapons and at ops 27 the most powerful it can get is equivalent to my Vahklas

[humble orbit]

I'd just string it along til you've maxed the mats efficiency, then you can start developing it for the eventual scrapper.

[little violet]

It's a 5 year old ship, so that was back when they cared about balance.. Before the money hungry marketers got incontrol of making decisions

I mean that ship requires you to hit swarms daily and upgrade tiers as you upgrade ops

[fleet depot]

Asht forgot to do the demarcation line event

[little violet]

Watch for blud. they been being 💩s in that zone.. So I started hunting them back

[fleet depot]

They can’t hit me I’m too low level

[little violet]

They send hvc then lol

All the griefers stick together

[fleet depot]

I’m already out of the system

Apparently my Vahklas can do at least 30 level 28 swarms per hull

20 more to go for dailies

13 minutes

As for HVC they’re only a problem if I’m afk

There are two level 28s who are active and that’s it, and at level 28 they can’t operate a Mantis

So I can just warp out

[proven bolt]

How many xindi aquatic token do you get a day?

[late elk]

2

[sinful glacier]

i can't believe how evil the hvc people are.

[finite burrow]

I get one, until I get the skin

of course, the event rewards anyone who ignores the loop, and so has plenty of tokens

yet more crap event design from scopely

[silver parcel]

Can pretty much run leslie once a month and have enough pulls

[fleet depot]

To be fair other than you and Marsha there’s shortbus

That makes three players

Tusker is a non-factor for me

I don’t have the power to hit any of you three but I just reported the location of shortbus’s ship to my alliance and MC came and destroyed it

Level camping is effective at allowing you to hit up very hard but pvp range is huge and to be honest Tusker isn’t active

Welp, completed the swarm dailies

[sinful glacier]

if you have cargo I will shoot you down otherwise it is of no use to me and now that there is a pvp event it is what scopely says who am I to go against the current.

[fleet depot]

Still, you’re not going to be able to shoot me when I’m actively doing pve

[sinful glacier]

tusker is not the same, he spends little time being active.

he only comes back for raids and he is the one who does the most, even though he is very inactive.

[fleet depot]

Tusker is very helpful during incursions, tbh I don’t consider him an enemy any more
But you I still do :3

Even though you’re also very helpful during incursions

Not that I can shoot your ships, but it’s the thought

[sinful glacier]

nowadays if you have to do pve you do it fast, de lo contrario la mayoria deja sus barcos flotando sin hacer nada objetivos gratis

[late pawn]

Just lost one of our 56's. Another one bites the dust. Yay Arc!

[sinful glacier]

tusker as I said only for raids and moving things around in chat his responsibilities outside the game keep him busy.

[sinful glacier]

I really have a lot of friends I don't hit them unless I have to now that there is pvp I don't see the difference.

[slow mica]

I love hitting my Friends ships

[flint ruin]

Exmadas are no longer showing green/blue/green markings on my server.

Is this more quality over quantity?

[silver parcel]

all armadas lost their label.

[night frigate]

Same for Dom and Borgs, not sure about DS as not checked

[near bloom]

Now they just need to lose themselves completely and Jess may play!

[flint ruin]

Yep. Just did Borgs…those indicators are for us, too.

[zenith coyote]

Gotta go by the smear now

[late pawn]

I like that the Voyager Fleet Training token trade milestone only takes about 1000 days. Seems entirely reasonable.

[thorn plinth]

Lol only 1000 days.

[split quarry]

Ooooh here’s a sight for sore eyes. Lucky bugger being able to actually quit

[nimble nymph]

Will the unintended faction store bundle changes be reverted? Do we have a eta?

[silver parcel]

not eta, but the view button will be removed

[thorn plinth]

Lol if the goofy pips worked consistently wouldn't be so bad haha!

[near bloom]

Thanks, it is very much a relief 😅 I have so much more free time now to do productive things, much happier head space etc 🙂

I’ve used the time to volunteer for community fundraising, which I am sure I shall also regret (just not as much)

[latent hill]

HD!! Nice to see you on here and nicer to hear you’re doing well and was able to stay quit. Congrats mate

[mighty tree]

Whoever is responsible for the mission design (not only) this arc should really look for a new job. "Defeat 10 hostiles of level x or higher" for at least the tenth time. Are you serious?

[haughty wadi]

I thought this was being reverted, when is it happening?

[thorn plinth]

@haughty wadi there is no eta only that they are working on it.

[split quarry]

Not quick enough

[prisma phoenix]

anyone realize that the isolytic damage crew isnt working/

it is working?

okay perfect 😂

Hey man! Good to see you too.

[prisma phoenix]

thank you!

[split quarry]

That’s great to hear, really happy for you! Also much more rewarding use of your time. Take care of yourself.

[near bloom]

I shall do, thank you - you too

[prisma phoenix]

so, are picard, data and janeway the only isolytic people, or are there others? like a tier list?

[long elm]

yes ( other than the new nurse chappel) they are the only direct iso pve officers

but if you have your artifacts upgraded all the morale/Hb/burn officer will also add iso dmg on their respective ship types

[prisma phoenix]

thank you!

[near bloom]

Did someone say Nurse Chapel?

[prisma phoenix]

I assume nurse chapel is pay wall-ed

[near bloom]

A solid assumption, born of plenty of evidence.

[prisma phoenix]

They ruined it nearly as badly as this game I used to play.

[dull mason]

DC should have done what marvel have with there tv series, connection's and callbacks

[mortal elk]

might have improved the films 🤣

[near bloom]

I would concur that maintaining some continuity would have massively helped. Ezra Miller was an awful Flash, can you imagine Grant Gustin’s Flash, Amell’s Arrow and Batfleck?

If you got two dice and one rolls a six, you don’t pick both up to try roll a double. You roll the one.

[silver parcel]

DC: "Continuity, what's that?"

On another note, Fallout amazon series is fantastic.

can't wait for season 2

[near bloom]

Got one episode in last night, excellent already.

They should have kept it in the same universe as Bale's / Nolan's batman

Going to token space and robbing people

[silver parcel]

I prefer lying in wait for them to return to their station

Then robbing them

[mortal elk]

I worked out that I could easily max out the war room in 3-4 hits in token mining space if I didn't mind being solo 😂

bonus of not having to mine for a month each time, too

[near bloom]

Important factor if your server is vengeful and would make it so you cannot mine for a month

Although they usually simmer down as one person can do a lot more damage to many people than many people can do to one person,

A fact many pretend diplomats quickly forget

[mortal elk]

Shades of you joining that open alliance on 109 and showing them why open alliances are a bad idea when it comes to TC 🤣

They were so angry 🤣

[mortal elk]

there was a lot of angry on 109, just in general 🤣
