Don't do the Borg Solo's unless you have done the Borg TransLink research
wow and here i thought it would take a genious to figure that out geuss you proved me wrong
Anyone know where is the prime apex barrier In the store?
These Whale PvP events are absolute trash:
wait, you can score by destroying MU hostiles
yes, with 5 pts.
Pay to win scopely need money to spend on strippers and snow
No points for losing, though!
IS Scopley is suffering from
Cashastrophe...
LoL π€£
Premium dust not count, you got packs for sale with it
I'll be shielding with my feet up
24 hostiles is difficult now? π
It is if you get shot enough
we've been doing 50 every day this month π
Why it's called heroic not quantum?
Get the job correct scopley
(I'm bored too)
It gives griefers the excuse they need to get around server ROE's.
or just carte-blanche for griefers, in general.
It's bad design, and it needs to be called out.
if they're "griefers" you were being shot anyway
if they aren't, then your ROE probably covers you...
Any server still fall for the dumb pvp scopley think it will sell packs?
Feed them kills somewhere else and sneak into the MU
dunno, I was unshielded all night and didn't even get a speculative tap... 162 seem pretty sleepy now π€£
Wanted to ask, how do I get my hands on the multipurpose exocomp? as some people in my alliance have this and their exocomp factory is lower lvl than mine
Unlocks via syndicate
ok, thanks
Scopes you need to make certain area in mirror universe pvp system . Pve is no go. Getting destroyed before I reach jump point
what lvl though?
The gorn BP event should be start today right ?
Way quicker than me, you must be a professional πππ»
is there a system in place that prevents players from opening up new alliances every hour to avoid getting marked?
if not than please DO! it is a hussle to think it is a neutral just to see the same rogue with yet another new tag every day.
making the whole marking system unneccesary in the first place
Had this error a few times now
@queen jolt
What are you trying to do?
Need to select then can use any existing exo on it
I donβt have that in my store
If you chat mute them, you can follow their player name, including new alliance tags
yes at 1 eastern
Gorn at second reset, lol
you missed the point. players changing alliance tags just to get rid of an alarming mark. i know how to track an account, but if he is funny he changes tags whenever he goes for a new hunt. making the whole system of marking alliances as enemies pointless
Eastern?
Half an hour. Should start when Cerritos events end
sent you a DM
yes my time zone
Idk your zone as Iβm from EU
I was just trying to enter a system
20 minutes
When does the free to play Syndicate event begin for this month?
π€£
I always buy my battle pass after it starts...
Equal the playing field for Free two play player's, and release G Dock and H Docks
To Whom It May Concern,
It is with boundless enthusiasm and absolutely no hint of sarcasm that I, a humble Ferengi, present this performance review of the Star Trek Fleet Command arc designers. The team's recent conclave to design the June Mirror Universe arc was nothing short of a tour de force in the annals of game development. Gather 'round, fellow Ferengi, and marvel at the sheer audacity and brilliance displayed in that hallowed meeting room.
The agenda was as clear as a Romulan cloaking device malfunction: address the incessant player feedback that harped on about the game being "player-unfriendly," "technical issues galore," and an overt focus on prying Latinum from players' wallets. Naturally, our visionary designers took this criticism and decided the only way forward was to dial all those issues up to eleven. Ingenious!
First on the list was the notorious "player-unfriendly" feedback. Our designers, in their infinite wisdom, concluded that players have had it too easy. The new June arc proudly ups the ante with even more soul-crushing grind. Players will now need to invest not 100, not 200, but an estimated 500 hours just to achieve the slightest semblance of progress. Truly, this will help weed out the faint-hearted, leaving only the most dedicated (or masochistic) players to bask in the glory of their accomplishments.
Next, the "technical issues." Ah, the charming bugs and glitches that make the game so... unpredictable. The design team, ever mindful of players' love for a bit of chaos, has ensured the June arc is rife with fresh, new bugs. Imagine the delight of players when their game crashes just as theyβre about to complete a mission, or when rewards vanish into the ether. Such delightful unpredictability adds a thrilling layer to the gaming experience, reminiscent of a Ferengi attempting to outwit a Vulcan in a business deal.
Monetization, the jewel in the crown of any Ferengi-approved enterprise, was given particular attention. Instead of reducing the reliance on microtransactions, the designers decided to expand it. Introducing a suite of new, essential items at exorbitant prices was pure genius. Clearly, only those who truly value their gaming experience (and have coffers deeper than the Grand Nagus himself) will fully appreciate this.
But wait, there's more! The pièce de résistance of the June Mirror Universe arc is the introduction of an astonishing array of new currencies. So many, in fact, that even the Grand Nagus would struggle to keep track of his Latinum amidst this bewildering assortment. Players can now spend hours deciphering which currency is needed for which item, ensuring a gameplay experience that is as complex as it is frustrating. Nothing says "player engagement" like a convoluted web of currencies, right?
The end result is a masterclass in how to ignore player feedback. By combining all the most hated aspects of previous months into one seamless, infuriating package, our designers have crafted an arc that will be remembered for ages. It's a bold statement, a clear message to players: "We hear you, and we choose to do the exact opposite!"
In conclusion, a standing ovation to our arc designers is in order. Their ability to transform criticism into an even more aggravating and costly gaming experience is nothing short of miraculous. We eagerly await the avalanche of praise and accolades from our dear players. Or perhaps, more realistically, we'll see just how much frustration the player base can endure before defecting to the Klingon Empire.
With Ferengi regards,
Grodnog, Third Tier Profit Analyst
Our server RoE has token systems protected even during pvp events (unless people are sitting on zero nodes for too long etc)
Is there a minimum level for an alliance member to get the Terrirotry season rewards
Was gonna say... kudos for getting that out, and out first time without having to tweak it for the automod π€£
What I'm saying is, it would not be anywhere near as badly designed, if, like in previous events, there was a PvP loss mechanic for equal points.
the bad design is by design, not by accident. If it pushes peopel to frustration and spending it has achieved its goal
Bad design is still bad design, no matter the intent.
My only critique of this is the use of "microtransaction". I think anything over $20 ceases to be "micro".
Not really, is it bad design from a player standpoint? Indeed it is. Is it from a revenue standpoint? I'm sure they crunched the numbers on that one
Even under 20 isn't micro, I tend to buy most AAA games under that price
<@&509690795536941056> Hey guys, when it comes to QoL, wouldn't it be great to implement the new advanced officer filter to the crew selecting menu of ships? Let's say next month or the following one?
You know, blood wine isn't half bad. Maybe it is time to defect.
give me a moment, I'm still reading Elliowyn's post
ops 25+
Apex is so boring..
Yes but critical because of the efficiencies
thx
I'm about 12 days from maxing the faction and only thing left to do is two missions I don't intend to push scrapping over and over
my post isn't THAT long π
I've seen shorter short stories LoL π
I got nearly 1000 rare G5 from my Stella turn ins this week
What's ridiculous is the epic Uranium I need 9 swaps before I can Max my Stella
The rogue Store has a Rubbish Cooldown
My second is months from being maxed
Have you unlocked the efficiency prime, via scrapping G3 faction ships ?
I don't think so..
Really helps
I don't know if the bajoran store One Is any good
solo epics lol
I'm already on L2 Dom Solo favor π
Sent in a ticket on ship stuck in rift. Anyone know an ETA on these things?
Its been like an hour
just hope that theyΒ΄ll fix it before weekend, otherwise you gotta wait till monday
seems to be popping up more frequently today for some reason, I also saw it mentioned in AC
maybe new attempt to fix some bugs tba soon
Depends are you F2P or have you bought packs.
My record time as a F2P was almost 3 weeks wait on a response from CS.
@queen jolt What is scopley position/statement on the cheating and data theft on server 17 by the alliance EMC?
hmm the response time seems to be fairly good in my experience, which did you use?
Hasn't that been going on for.....3-4 years by now at least? It has been reported by a vast amount of players, CC and if I'm not mistaken Ripper as well back in the days
@dusky cove The files has been released with information about the entire server. I want scopley statement on it.
π€
where is this said file
they've also been using it on other servers for years which has helped them in incursions etc. as well. It seems an issue scopely can't or won't fix
This was like 2 and a bit years ago. And that was the in-game CS. I've since bought 2 or 3 of the $5 packs and my longest response time was 3 hrs.
They can't turn it into a pack so there's no incentive to fix it.
@dusky cove Scopley is violating their own policy
for those not in the know, what is this file, what does it do? Inquiring minds demand answer. Also where can I find the discord drama for this server?
@sinful osprey it has every players id and login information for the entire server which EMC said was given voluntarily
The TLDR as I've been told is that through dubious means they can ping STFC to get live data on all starbase locations, shield expiration timers, playere ID's, resources, OPC ships,......
holy guacamole!
tldr too long didnt read..?
Does the game work yet?
that aint right, clearly an unfair advantage. I hope you get some traction to get that resolved.
eh I'm not chasing that issue, it's been raised by peope who have a lot more influence and the issue keeps getting shoved aside as far as I know
Because they are all paying Scopelys wages
Prime Data security research pack incoming
if they treat such an issue as this like that then what u expect them to treat any other situation any more differently
First they will release the Prime Security Breach "Reveal server details" then the patch.
There are some posts and video's on the DJZ discord which give a ton more info regarding the issue but I'd ather not spend the tim to dig them up atm
the screenshot I posted is just one I quickly found from months ago
along with the breach server not prime
prime GDPR barrier?
good day all
Also they would log in to accounts and drop the shields so the alliance could raid them for resources then blame the shield failure on scopley
Could they access or force payments?
But yeah, seems you could win every slb event by logging them into something else or burning their hoarded mats, etc
@proven bolt I dont have that particular information
That prime I buy π
Shield strip prime 99β¬
Anti shield strip 99β¬
In one week scopley getting rid of the pesty f2p player
Like me π
Can't log in just with the playerid, you need to persuade cs to relink your login to that id first, and CS are already aware of the issue so proving that the playerid is yours has a higher bar on that server specifically from what I've been told the last time this came up
Their infosec is... Interesting... In places π¬
thx for that, for a second I thought our passwords were sitting free and clear in a non hashed state
instead they are using a bit of social engineering with the data taken to access accounts, seems pretty serious that scopely should take a strong action here
@mortal elk I just want a statement from scopley on what punishment or position they have on it.
Oh, my understanding is that the ids were sitting nekkid on the api at one point...
You won't get one. So I'd lower your expectations.
No oficial statement
It not existing
Only way you'll get a statement is by throwing the big "S" word around, but that won't get you anywhere in here.
@solemn plaza So scopley by their own TOS is in violation
Multi billion companies never admit anything like that
Maybe like FB the US Congress forces them
Yup. And unless you're going to start throwing big words around with more important people than those in here you won't get anywhere.
I think this was an ongoing issue 2 months ago
@solemn plaza I am just trying to get a statement from scopley..I started here..I have other avenues to go thru..At least someone from scopley will see this and maybe get some sort of information..But thank you i will try the other communication sources.
F2P so figure I am a bit low priority
No one from Scopely that's allowed to speak on behalf of scopely is going to see any of this.
The MODS/CMS/Devs will maybe see it but they can't do anything about it, and they're not allowed to speak on behalf of the whole company, the CMs get told what they can and can't say by someone else who's in the same position etc etc.
You're going to have to aim alot higher in the food chain to actually get any form of response from scopely, and even then I wouldn't get your hopes up unless you have the time and means to take things to the next step (Big "S" word)
@solemn plaza I think i said what i said as a final statement..I didnt know you required a response.
A small side question, any idea if there'll be some pride events this month :)?
π§
Thanks for changing the prereqs after having to trade in uncommon to get there
cheers, I had overlooked that π
@heady moon what update I don't see any update in store..
Wondering the same thing
Does he just mean restart and there is no downloadable update and it's just a cache refresh?
uhm can we have our dust back we used to get there? π
You sould restart/update/clear cashe. Im seeing the 300% on the Evi Refit in my game.
Since there will be new packs, what happens with ppl that bought the old one? 
Glad we could get that change too.
I assume the thinking emoji means you don't know? 
Clear cache but don't see update in Google store. Last update is from 29 of may
I think there is no actual update
Blablabla here some updates things still broke but hey new and updates packs to rescue
Bad wording, I think he just means restart to clear cache so you see the updated stuff
Not sure you've understood his point. Some of us spent uncommon dust to trade down to common to get through the tree to the uncommon. That was unnecessary now you've opened up the tree. π€¦
Yeah great change but messed over thousands of players and mats. Comp incoming or riots haha
I thought your name was in a different language
Looking into it.
Done on purpose
Players found a small benefit from trading down uncommon for now since that part of the tree was so far away for people looking at maximizing roi first, Scopely saw it, changed gears to punish those people by leaving them with a FOMO moment because now they are out of or low on uc dust.
Hopefully not. Once was enough
Last time they made a big change like this, they comped us some material
That's the theme of this arc.
@heady moon Ob any update on ascended keys?
There was also a time when the event list only had one or two pay to score/complete sms events the whole arc.
Which will really screw up the SLB even more than it's just been screwed up.
Nope. But I followed up yesterday about it.
Lol it seems they are taking a long vacation for some keys. Cant take that long to give them.
Back from vacation and they said they're looking into it.
π€£π€£π€£π€£
Can't add important emoji to announcement
Is π still a CM?
Lemon? Like here on Official?
Just in general.
When life gives you lemons, find someone whose life gives them vodka and have a party.
General Lemon?
I mean they can be General Lemon, but i wouldn't tell them that π
Yeah these mirror research tree changes are some bull crap
Where's comp chest ?
When life gives you lemons... squeeze them into the eyes of the people that gave them to you until they give you the oranges you asked for in the first place...
With the mantis comp chest
So in the pockets of CC π
Yeah, this greatly impacted decision making prior and during slbs.
Tots McGoats
And the people the spent money on this. It doesn't just effect those that used the trade down mechanics.
Personally I still would have done what I did. I appreciate that may not be the same for everyone, which sucks.
Car crash of an Arc π₯π₯
Hit and run by a parked car π€£
I wouldn't have. I would have been able to get the iso dmg research and get to the rare researches.
#π-galaxy-chat message
So, about that filter...
<@&509690795536941056>
I have been hit by a parked car before. It came out of no where.
<@&509690795536941056> isnΒ΄t it time again to enable new officers via transport patterns? or is the new business model only pay more?
I used the research to get to 1st on the barrier slb.
That business model isn't new
wasnt warroom supposed to start 1 day ago?
post poned
war room is DoA... sadly
Anyone know why multiphasic is hardly on things now?
what do you mean?
multiphasics are on everything, but if you buy from webstore or pc only...
dont buy through apple or google devices... or your not getting em
Yup! Looking into it.
Did your Gif approval come through?
it'll be out after the event is done
Gif not gift,someone said the other day OH shouldn't use gifs. So I'm asking if OH got the gif approval π
Buba was killed by quality π
Now that raises alot of questions.
u got me lol
i was being impossible lol
the MU research change is nice though focusing on the hostil loot research still seems a good priority
foiled by u meddling kids and that dog
Which 1 of them is the dog though π€π€£π€£π€£
Never heard of it, but want it
only place w/ better strips is publix
Without Scooby-Doo and totally woke
its the sauce everybody goes for but i dont fw glorified mayonaisse
the strips are fire w/o it
its better than ecos "oh yeah ill have to get back to you on that" statement
a try is an unsuccessful attempt
u get a saving grace if u try cane's lol
Result is same π€·ββοΈ
what us complaining in here about a broken game lol
Is this arc almost over yetβ¦? π₯±
Cant wait for part 2!
Think we got another week or two...
i thought we was in part 2 already lol
o my bad its been that long of a drag out
scopley created a time machine w/ this new arc lol
Part 2 is the credit card bill beating us over the head
So excited
Can't wait to see part 2
if u spent on this π©
i got 20 invested in the bp thats it
In part 2 you need ad credit card info on loading screen
I like the concept, the implimentation leaves a lot to be desired.
u would hafta be from 53 also lol
π
isnt that the server w/ the crazy long roe thats posted online somewhere
we have no server roe
Each alliance has their own roe
on another note.... mirror universe chars.... soo hope we get a mirror geordie from the comics
Okay, that's cool
or mirror troi...
ikr we gotten sooo off topic here more complaining pls
i bet @heady moon planned it to be as such
theres some more... how about mirror wesley
I hate that I know about this against my will.
it'll be riker though... we know it'll be riker...
of course it'll be riker and troi they need mirrors of the ent crew
No no no. That's ok.
see what i tell u he set us up
i can't remember, were there any other officers in the missions with animated portraits? they're the ones that get officers
This arc made me on day one want to read this comics
Then this arc made me not care about this comics on same day
if only i knew how to read π¦
i see thru ur innocent act bro lol
After one week in official
Has anyone found a way to activate the mirror loot exo yet, or where to find it?
It'll appear in the exo screen if you get 1.
If you do get 1, go buy a lotto ticket.
Well I'm certain I got one, although I'm obviously questioning that now. But I got two separate exos in the chest which surely means I got one of each (a mining one and a loot one) - but no sign of it! Also pretty sure one of them said 400% loot
Nah. 53 is super mellow. Anything token is protected. Also super quiet, nobody has to compete for anything, plenty for everyone.
woo, 1200 dolamide, what prime to get
Get the 1 you don't have that's the most helpful.
My ship was stuck coming from Archer. Got it back recently. Dont know if they have issue with Deneb or not. Just wondering now if I can get my Voucher refunded.
Send in a CS ticket
ship efficiency never hurts
To spend dust on research or to wait and see if OH comes back with anything.....
Sprinkle some magic dust on folks crit damage, efficiency smiciency
hi
dont begin what cant be stahped
Any update on the research thingy ma doodads
This annoy alot. max 50 times per click. Cost me around an hour with swipe, click, swipe, click to donate my allianc to next Level. That shoult be removed. When i will donate 10k times than they should let me donate 10k times with one click. No Idea to who i should pass this...
@heady moon 8th time today the game locks up hereβ¦β¦ Might be time to work on some βQualityβ. If that word is foreign to the dev team Iβd be happy to provide a link to the definition.
Not yet.
Its so fun wasting 4 minutesTraveling through the mirror verse....
without a premium, there's like 14-15 minutes left on the clock by the time i get to the 60
ridiculous that i have to spend 300 uncommon and like 500 common to get there
Idk if I can take a 60
3b power or so
10b power
The travel system of the MU is the worst part of the arc (worse than the quantum events - hear me out) we will have to deal with that indefinitely. The events this arc will hopefully be consigned to this arc and history
Why announce an eviscerator skin and not release it..
Time needs to reset with each rift, they need to drop the cooldown on the vouchers to 22 hours
it is released
I too like to jump skip rifts and run, I like the mirror
How bout making premium a guaranteed drop
Do you think we'll get an update before reset tomorrow?
Ive not pulled one premium ticket ever
thats their selling point
Not to me, but if they think so π€·
ata refresh boosters was similar
Any further clarification on why 115 had a bye bye week.
No incursion
And didn't even get to use, claim
Loot Exocomp.βββ
same
I have not got one loot exo from the refinery either
132 had it last run
maybe server merge?
I got 10k common Keys tho .... Weeeeeeee
If the next rotation had you up against a server that recently merged, they probably gave you a both a bye
its coz they cant find a server who match i think
#warpgate
They need to work on their matchups
We didn't get one , and there's no current list simpauly said π€
because the last couple have been ridiculous
that was the only idea i had why theyd give yall a bye
Loot crew on MU hostiles is garbage for loot..
But not having the loot Exocomps really sucked π‘π€·πΌββοΈ
it becomes less and less useful the more extraloot research you got, better focus on impulse, uphitting or even pvp
agreed with @warm pivot
that random capitalization though..... makes my eye twitch
Our highest Player is OPs 67 and they matched us pre last run with a server who has 3x max cubes with over 5bil power. this three ships beat alone our whole server
@heady moon I have no eviscerator skin in m y store
Nvm I see it now.. Of course $99 π
nah nah, my friend. special price for you!
$299.99?
to Cheap π€£
you a friend! i'll take 200 off, just for you
THree easy payments... Of $499.99
Hey Guys, sorry for newb question - I have this icon - when I click it it takes me to the "offers" but i can't find anything to claim?
Click on resources...
Lol they got ya to buy the pack and not know how to claim lol
Aha! it didn't have the icon for something available until after I clicked that π Thank you
Maybe its a free run. I had a 400 days brake. After i camed back to game ive got a free monthly pass
lol it was probably mid month tho
That moment you realize you have more points in the SLB than everyone else in the SLB combined πππ
Ha, try that at my ops range π
i planned on researching the pvp barrier today, but then i got the chance to not waste any more common dust, so i said, screw this one event ^^
I'm sure people in my ops range are questioning how and why lol. Probably have enough points to be competitive in the bracket above me but idk.
@heady moon Hi OH! I have a player in my alliance who was ops 39, upgraded to 40 for the Shattered Stations event, and then the event disappeared. He submitted a ticket, but I would think the event should have stayed if he had scored in it. I just wanted to make you aware if you were not already.
yeah, didnt they tell you? you gotta point in a sms before ops up or youll loose access
Man I read the announcement and got all excited cause I'd be able to unlock more stuff but nothing changed π guess it only went up to where I already was at , just my luck π
#π¬-events-feedback message
Someone reported the other day too
Okay, thank you!
I am just glad they didn't tempt me with that event at ops 56 LOL
you got the option to waste materials on cube xD
Seeing the rewards I wish I had the event at ops 44 lol
LOL that's a nooooo
Hey! How about separated event brackets for G6 and G5, that would be nice.
Hey, how about you don't cross post
Jerks.
dont know if that counts as cross posting, isnt it already mentioned everywhere by now? ^^
That was.
It's been asked for about 6 months now, but they are listening to our complaints right?
need more minnows in the field of play
Ehhh... trying.
Listening too and acting on are 2 entirely different conversations.
Ok, thank you.
They clearly are doing neither.
Many active ppls here. Its 2.50am here. let me guess yall from US Server? π€£
No reason, at all, a handful of g6 players are getting 160 million points requiring me to spend, 1.6 mill g5 to place. That's just frigging stupid
So i am not the only Nightactive here π€£
Just about to go to sleep
I can't remember what it tastes like π€£
it taste yummy π€£
No self respecting German should lower themselves to posting USA beer gifs
cant find german beer ones π€£
They're too good for the US ππ
Thats not Germany. Thats Bavaria π€£
That's crazy LoL
If ur from England, go turn on the tap, and that's what American beer tastes like.
And if you clear your gutter that's what their coffee is like π€£
Oh this lag is just lovely.
1st round in the wave, everyone was spinning in circles around their first target while the rest hit the station before they left combat
When they fix the game for PC, it's been over a week since every time I restart the game, and it is unstable even with good internet the game keeps giving connection problems, activating all notifications and leaving the settings in the general tab, as sound activates, deactivates the extended zoom, this is already becoming annoying and I already think it's a lack of respect towards the players, because to remove all the annoying notifications about new officers, new ships and everything else you lose almost 5 minutes, fix the bugs please
Yeah, the Wave Defense has been almost unplayable this week. I don't think I've gotten to 10 waves yet this week (lags out on everyone before getting near it).

Escalated - I've asked ops what data would help to diagnose this. I may ping if they get back to me.
been terrible for the last two day
Why I can't see this channel from the listing and have to search for it and tagged under suggested channels ?
Yeah jeez can't they make it easy to access instead of complicating it like the game π
Thanks @silver parcel
Scopely we thinks it's time to revise the 2k hostile in line with your newest addition of grinds since the 2k limit was introduced π
#raisedailyhostilelimit
Zombie ship
How about show us our hostiles killed for the day?
Does only.pvp in the MU count for Apex barrier slb?
Ya hostile limithas needed bumped up to 2500-3000?for awhile
Someone let me know about the slb pls ^_^
hostiles in the MU count if you got the research, pvp counts if you got the specific ship research, and hostiles outside the MU count if you got the prime
Any way we can make cross bracket rewards a thing lol?
Anyone hitting gorn and not getting its cargo?
did you hit the 2k hostile limit
My alliance said the same thing after I asked. I must have and not realize I did.
Do you know when it resets?
hour after daily goals
Thanks!
Lmao saw the caption and was like ainβt no one playing with that annoying ass sound and Music π€£π€£π€£
Looks more like Galaga than Star Trek
ππ€£π«£
I spent way too many hours in that game
Lol
any idea when the next treasury might start, if they're sticking to the two a month schedule they started? Tuesday?
Everything is so slow π
hi wher to find wher all missions star,what systems
Any other server being absolutely trashed by glitches and broken gameplay, or is it just 201?
mine, 178
I barelly go to kill 30 hostiles in 15 minutes in mirror universe, the fight animation took around 5 sec, I did 2 armadas, speed them up, saw the animation and got nothing, no logs, no loot, no damage π
so...everything works as intended
15 sec*
<@&509690795536941056> what's the deal? who decided the earlier 'hotfix' was to become an actual towering inferno of gameplay hell?
it's the next level in diablo, after hell you get Inferno π
he he, bring it on
Your From old 179 . π€
no, from 178 from the start
Oh, I was many moon's ago..
π
How many moons exactly?π€
Don't worry it's quality lag. Not quantity lag π
Many, Many rotation's π
are you rotating, @dull mason ? don't get dizzy?
I actually think this will be the new battlepass epic officer in the next ark
would be nice
well have fun commanders, I will take a break until tonight, since the game works so well π
c'ya
Whatβs the difference between Apex barrier and iso dmg?
For 200 bucks and triple shots each gun π€£
apex barrier protects against all damage, iso damage is damage that it's not mitigated
Awesome. Thx
well, at a very general level
Server lagging for anyone?
We all here cuz scopely runs on rat wheel servers and 56kbps speeds
absolutely massive lag here on 188
same on 178
@humble orbit @mortal elk , is there really nothing that can be done about game pricing? I feel that what causes people to not spend is the absorbent prices.
It would probably be more financially beneficial if they lowered prices. Any other mobile game makes a lot more profit with lower prices. I even learned that during my bachelor's degree classes in business management theory.
I mean it only works because the entire thing is supported by the backs of whales....if that business model ever falters, so will the game.
Just out of concern for whale being (word play).
@heady moon
Great advice given since last year.. they heard it but refuse to listen
They've lucked on a business approach that apparently works for them, I don't see any chance of it changing in the future - if only because they'd have a riot on their hands from the people who went before paying the higher rate
If it stops working for them... I guess we'll see what happens, but so far π€·ββοΈ
So what you are saying is they don't care if it fails. Is it savvy making these decisions? I think transparancy would go far with the players.
I'm not on the inside, and if I was I wouldn't be allowed to say π
the pricing was like this before savvy though, tbf
True
But I mean, if people decide collectively that they don't like an update, this game could crash quick.
I would hate for that to happen, as would many players
That isn't a good thing
That's how unstable this business model is
doubt it'll be quick, we've had several car crashes of arcs in the past (Mantis sticks in my head as one of them), and frankly the spending does get addictive, it's really hard to step back and go "I can wait" once you're used to the accelerated progression of dropping a few packs a month π
You would be surprised.
I've seen games crash quickly over trivial things like that.
But also playing with addictions only goes so far
After the community gets tired of something the community dies...
But I mean...there are a lot of retired people that play this game, so idk
I just know it's very unstable at the moment.
As have been many scopely games...
It's not a good track record
Like the one that nailed it was Yahtzee with friends
Really good model
This one....not so much
But look at marvel strike force, looney toons...etc
It's not great...
There is a reason there are memes about scopely
pricing wasn't so... remember they went from 100uc in event for recruits to 20...thats a 5 fold decrease and no business would survive that if they didn't have whales who spend for ego
oh, events have definitely tightened up
but "potential" sourcing is higher as well with boosted refineries I think would be the counter argument to that π
that's said, we gonna see more inflated arcs driving silly packs and more crews so no one can catch up. Good strategy but does it work long time on franchise based games? I think not, some players will buy movie props and not game packs.... so no balance between constant growth and new players finding prices reasonable... I really hope the game last a few more years but hope is dangerous VS whales
Yeah this game is doomed to fail if drastic changes don't occur.
Like it is proven time and time again that greed does not equate wealth in the business sector.
Just look at Enron.
Need I say more?
well said...
Not saying scopely is Enron...but the greed is about the same from the player's perspectives
I have a teammate stuck in warp from mirror space. Clearing localization, uninstall, restarting app didn't work. Any suggestions @restive cargo <@&509691205798592532>
Yeah but scopes are too dumb to see it
CS Ticket π¦
They are, without doubt, titans of the mobile games industry. They also have advanced degrees and generate profit that even the largest video game studios can only dream of. This works right now, and making a move to change it sounds extremely risky.
In theory, broadening your paying base sounds more stable. But I've also heard that the mobile games industry isn't the same as a standard product in a mom and pop store. Whales carry the weight here, and packs that target them make the most sense. Why sell them 5 small packs when 1 5x-sized one does the same thing? It's a better customer experience than buying tons of tiny packs.
They have one
make sure to include 'stuck ship'
Just because you are titans doesn't mean you won't fail.
This business model isn't meant for longevity
Ignorance of the fact that they are running towards an iceberg, just because the ship runs smooth...
better customer experience for 1% of the population lol
a slap in the face for the rest
Great metaphor
Like you hear the players frustration daily, yet you ignore it.
Ignorance is not the key to success
You can't ignore an issue and expect it to go away.
You are slowly drowning players with this business model.
Yet you refuse to see it.
Too bad the company managers only care about flow of cash. But when money is lost in great amount, it's too late to steer away
it's likely several higher ups don't care at this point
Scopely's owned by a different company that is supposed to "encourage the growth of the games industry" but is just looking to make profit short term before they sell off to a different investment company
They likely do not give a hoot about the average player, or any player for that matter
I know they don't care.
Look at the Looney Toons game.
Like I hate being like that
But it leaves me with no other conclusion
I studied business at length in college and my girlfriend has owned a business. As have many of my family members. Price gouging is not the way to go.
having several channels on this discord for player feedback is quite funny, as they either do nothing with it, or they flat out just don't read them.
The announcements on Discord make that very clear. Changes come from the whale discord complaints, not the 99% rest of players who are absolutely fed up with the constant stream of poo that releases
And that is how the players feel
Or they give it to the higher ups and our feedback is ignored.
This isn't how a successful company shows care about their consumers.
It's a business model that causes itself to slowly deteriate and die.
Well most of the decisions are made by whales which in itself is stupid.
They only make up a small population of the entire player base.
Literally "backs of whales"
I used to spend between 20 - 100 euros a month. Eventually I realised it's pointless because the game isn't improving
If the game were to improve, I'd probably buy the battlepass again at least every month
But I haven't spent in over a year and the way things are going that's not going to change
It's not a lot of money, but there are so many people in my alliance that did a similar thing, that it probably costs them several millions in profit a month now spanning the entire playerbase
I am not Captain Ahab.
I spent hundreds of USD per month until I realized how much money was going into the game. Now I spend nothing except the battlepasses.
And they can state that you don't need to spend, but that is a lie.
yeah the realization is quite scary once I checked my transaction history
Heroic events require spendature.
Yep, same.
This game is obnoxiously high with game prices.
Anyways I gtg to bed.
Work tomorrow
Broom out. π§Ή
Heroic events have a negative connotation, so let's just change it to "Quantum" and make things at least 3x as bad lol
night man
Hey all,. Question on scoplely store. On my pc version. I can see a pack. "Prime apex barrier pvp lol 2". But on my tablet. Google account. The pack is not showing?
I should have said. In game store. Sry
Anyone from apac facing hugh lag issues ?
Yep. Impossible to play
Apparently its been like that for atleast few hours now π
No I'm actually having trouble grinding in freebooter space. Some bloke named kronos is killing me with a pvp crew.
π
Seriously thats awful
Eu or us servers like this
...emergency comms...promises of updates and comp chests...APAC....meh someone should look at it tomorrow...ours not theirs...what day is it there again ?
For shame.
fair bit of lag on apac 199 atm, has been gradually getting worse over the last 2 days. entire alliance has mentioned it.
Nice, you're crushing it! What bracket is this, and which crew are you using? I assume you have the Prime Apex Barrier OR Mirror PIC?
Well a solution to the spending issue would be making ships easier to obtain in game @humble orbit @mortal elk
That is a solution that could satisfy both sides.
To come to a common ground so to speak. I don't just mean end of arc either, but always. I mean primes and everything else.
We as players need easy access to in game items without having to buy things, but not so easy that it pushes people away or makes the investors unhappy.
It is a well known common middle ground for most games with this kind of situation.
π and did you make it through in one piece?
awesome film π
Euro servers still laggy
O'Dear Who's going to fix the weekend game problems.
Already reported it to the right team
Ah. The wrappings of the holy duct
Don't worry, everyone will get 1/3 of a galactic recruit pull as compensation
All fixed
That's a very cruel GiF π€¦πΌββοΈπ€¦πΌββοΈ
yo How do i affiliate or smt my friend gave me a link and i downloaded the game and played to like level 25 or i got a ship and then he gave me 10$ i also want to invite ppl and get money
squeezed out all i could... π
Please don't cross post.
some big games are free to play and only sells cosmetics, no pay to win content. it's worked well for them.
they still rely on whales to bring in the money to keep operations going, but most people see pay to win and instantly say no thank you.
and i think paywalls and pay to win just doesn't have the longevity. it's brought in large amounts of money in the short term. but seems more and more are leaning away from spending and the whales are the only ones left for milking. which will end eventually, as the impact of 1 whale stopping it felt more than 1000's of free to play or small spenders.
TLDR it's a cash grab and nothing more. there's no actual star trek game here.
it's not something you could hold up and say proudly that you play and invite others to play.
Can you answer my question
Had I not traded down to unlock some of the nodes before they changed it, would've probably finished it
Probably a bunch of people in the same boat. Isn'tit lovely.
i traded down lots of uncommon as well, but i got my bonus loot up at least
yay, people discovered they could cheese the slb
(barrier)
Just watched a bunch of people gain billions
i don`t know if it is cheese, those who won picard win the slb as well
faster with data
or they got the prime, or one of the skins
Slamming a small ship into a big station is cheesing it
i thought it was disabled in station combat?
ahhh right...
I can rine latinum
They've made some bad events before but that one was really really really poorly thought out.
Was surprised, because they're usually better about separating the g5 from g6 in events scoring on different level hostiles/players like that. They screw players over with the spend events but they're usually better for these types of events. But this whole arc seems to be speed run on angering the most brackets they can.
but at least i think i managed to make one person spend minimum ^^
still waiting for my snipe chance there ^^
Bit annoyed that you can't use the premium dust on the sms
π
That's the reason it's gonna stay incomplete for me π not gonna dump everything for a handful of shards lol
did you overdo it? ^^
@silver parcel. Can you explain. Why the in game stores are different between in games store. Pc and through Google.
All I have are Google play credits
The webstore and on pc is to incentivize you, because they get the full amount where as purchases through ios and android, they get a cut.
So. No chance it will go to the in game Google app
yeah, the whole webstore was made because they wanna get rid of the greedy middle man, even providing extra multiphasics for the buyer to hook em
and the daily mission key was another goody to lure players away from the greedy middle man
Webstore exclusives are a thing, but most everything eventually ends up on all the platforms.
Ty everyone
Why would you want to, you earn more buying direct
I have Google credits from business purchases. He he
Aha πππ»
i got my first extra build with a google credit freebie, a long time ago
same with 2nd research
Unfortunately job before this I had a substantial budget and card, that would of been fun π€ͺ
I canβt order a paperclip now π
if I have a second monaveen do I have to get this from an event store or something?
Start mining ASAP..
Who knows, it might be cash only π€·πΌββοΈπ€·πΌββοΈ
Not seen in event store, but then 2 Pickles.. are you a military contractor π
parts were piling up and I was ops locked so I got a second one via territory services π€·ββοΈ
Save parts and wait till itβs not ops locked, you want it tiered asap for all those rss
Looks like u shouldnt have gotten a 2nd mono
Can we have a cross over from Andromeda Tv series ? π€
Scrappy can make more money with cross overs
Instead of fixing the π€¬ Lag
π
yes needs to come from an event store
though i don't recall if they ever actually put it on there
figures. thank you
@dull mason forgot to say yesterday
3 months away?
give or take
3-5?
Aye but then it want be Star Trek anymore it would be more like ENO. Most only play STFC because itβs Star Trek, you mess with that then players would no longer play the game anymore.
anyone know if u get a mission at op 36?
Yes upgrade ops to ops 37 π€£
and pay 99.99 for the upgrade to op 38
that sucks man
wish i was rich
only benefit of ops 36 is shipyard 36 for the cerritos, the next big benefit is ops 38 with exborg faction store and dailys, but 38 or 39 doesn`t matter
but isnt 38 g4?
Most missions from upgrading ops are the main missions line, which usually include upgrading academic, shipyard, RD or ops and the odd scout new systems missions. There is also the Franklin-A missions if you have it π€. Which are ops locked missions
It's called Upgrade HQ ..
40 is g4, better said 41/42... because you want to refine at least uncommon stuff and not just commons.
nobody should stop at 40!
Anyone here who is 100%sure about this and can tell me how many points epic g4 materials generate during the officer recruit events that run almost every week over the weekend? Is it 150 per unit spent or 250?
which op is darrk space i gotta unlock these paths getting tired of seeing the same system everyday lol
38 allows you to start collecting ISS jelly, 39 allows you to build it. The ship itself useless but the event it gives very beneficial for explorers and gas related res/buildings
They are still good lvls
You only get a certain amount, it's not a full unlock as far as I know
Use Spocks Club, we are not your calculator π€£
Do it, do it...π€£π€£
and here are missions i cant even do
The scoring almost always changes every event π
yeah, i`m ops 42 atm and on the verge of pushing to 44 because of ata store and g4 rare ships. look how many bp i got so far, turning in double chests on every opportunity. of course, my alliance doesnΒ΄t own a 3* system in territory
You won't be able to do that for a long time
ughh
ughhhhh
Spocks.club doesnβt list event scores, stfc.space does
i have no other missions
Try Klingon and romulan space
Shows you material spend values on everything, what you looking at ?
warp range wont get there
Cost, requirement .. look down
Consider yourself lucky before the silly holodeck feature. Every ops 10+ got all missions for ops 10-60+ now all missions on holo are ops locked starting at ops 15 π
how long you been on here lol
Go for a Fly around
and wuts ur op lvl lol
π€ this, thatβs what his question was about. How much do they score towards the spend event on weekends
gonna have to i might have missed a few missions early on also
Me? I started game 5 years ago and Iβm ops 46
Well done, youβll make a great secretary
π€ erm what? Guess you will make a great job advisor as this makes no sense?
you took a break or something?
If they can make it online, they can save two other websites π€£
When game first came out it was chaos no battlepass, no armadas, no shields if i remember correctly π€. Your strongest ship was the northstar, every alliance fighting for control of housing systems. π pure madness game was in playable, I quit and came back after armadas introduced.
I olay casually my goal is to enjoy controlling Star Trek stuff flying around those pixels π. Idc about upgrading as fast as possible.
lol those where the days , raiding with envoys having half alliance defend the station you where robbing π€£
Really looks like he wearing a baseball glove π
I remember that
Spitting out milk also π€£ I hate movies like this, they could of at least added some green dye and stuff peas in his mouth π
Envoy raiding is a hard slog. π₯΅
@karmic cedar
Why is there no update larch for Android yet?
β¬οΈ larch
just let it end π΅βπ«
And just think once you get the 1B, you'll only have 499B to go, to max rep.
I'll just be happy to reach 15bn for a DD π€£
it is just this one lock that prevents me from the next stage of my progressionplan. yeah, the next lock will wait later on as well. but it is just... boring xD
yeap
And I'm here still slowly working towards G4 rare ships lol
and i`m already on 7 times the reputation per kill... still not enough xD
That's what happens when you take a 2 year break, you get left behind π₯²π
welcome back soap!
I came back at a good time and a really bad time.
Half way through an arc so the free BP elite was wasted.
But then the next arc had the event store so I picked up the Voyager and the Monaveen.
Hopefully the next event store has the NX.
my guess, nx-01 at holiday arc store
I hope so, cuz grinding it is going to suck, and I don't want to do that.
or grind half.. they usually have the sales for half.. or less to grind for during the store
I can't kill the hostiles you need to kill yet. Haven't got the exborg rep either yet to do the favour to be able to kill the hostiles. Have a long way to go.
Ya, folks have a tough go at the initial level 40 stuff. Especially if they rushed to it.
Are we really doing Pride day again Scopley....
Some several note worthy characters from Trek would appreciate the day. Despite our differences, we have a common love of Star Trek. We can start there. Don't need all this other negativity. We have enough of it in this world.
Scopley shouldn't be bringing politics in the game. They should treat it like helldivers
When you make something apolitical your politics, thatβs where you went wrong
When you make something political apolitical that's where you are wrong
at least it is just a day and not a whole month anymore... i mean even mothers and fathers got a day, so yeah, a day can be permitted
Scopley should make it pay only at least π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
Why do we celebrate Easter in STFC? They should keep politics out of games.
There is actually two mother's days
not in the country where i live xD
March and May.
100%
Easter isn't political
I say take it all out
Chocolate eggs, are Ridiculous...
Than a zombie goes around and hides them!
June is Pride month.
was
since everybody decides their own reality, june is no longer a pride month
I'm a dinosaur!
I'm Simpauly 
Is June even a month anymore?
I mean if Pluto isn't a planet anymore.......
how can you say something that looks like a planet... isn't a planet?!
Is there any update on the Mirror research dust thingy that OH was looking into yesterday.
well with pluto iΒ΄m angry as well, my old planet memo trick sentence doesn`t work anymore
So Pluto is just another moon? A rebel one perhaps
a planetoid they say
4 extra builder tokens, where did you get that?
like a planet midget?
My Very Easy Method Just Sums Up Nine.............
wait it disappeared
You forgot Pluto
We are still looking into it
When you've lived long enough to see a planet come and go... next you'll tell me there are aliens
The event ends in less than an hour. Cutting it close π
come on, weΒ΄ve had 3 major extinction events the last couple of years xD
whats a planet ^^
Common sense and general human decency, what's the 3rd?
i think it was a solar flare bringing us back to the stone ages
a f2p path in stfc
I'm not sure some people ever left lol
they got access to the internet, in a way they left
they may take our interwebz, but they'll never take our dice!
its more about a blackout, water pumps not working anymore, fuel pumps either, no logistics, people starving in cities, those kinda things... not really only our interwebs xD
with airconditioning being the last of our worries ^^
civilliazation reseting?! ooo noes
good thing we're all overweight, so at least we won't go hungry
Speak for yourself π¬
is there a sourcing for phlox yet?
ya.. but you won't like it
π°
welcome to the new age, the only way for dedicated sourcing is spend events.. an arc store, or a slow drip loop
The euro servers are still waiting
for what?
When is ai gonna take over coding for scopely?
The Lag to stop
when is scopes gonna sell ai Maia as a girl friend?
How to beat and take top spots on battle barrier
Buy all Docks and auto hunt..
The End ππΌπ‘ππΌ
Give Free two play player's a path to get G and H Docks
Why you assuming maia's gender identity? π€
well she'll be my ai.. so ya
Uhm no, just no. Won't even get you close.
If this is true then perhaps Apple Store and Google Play should be aware.
i haven't enjoyed "new" content in months/years - i'm usually a 4+ months behind on all the new stuff
pay2play the new content, but free2play eventually just not compete
Lotsa typos in that post....
Yeah that seems very fabricated, no offense
The highest density of players is ops 39 bracket. Thereβs an easy solution. Give a free prime that cuts all g3 mat requirements in half That you can research after having a g3 epic at tier 6.
Like scopely may be greedy, but that is not something they would do
Even they know that isn't smart
At least tell our buddies here to join our subreddit r/STFC_Official
I'm 1st on my Barrier event, I have paid for any of the extra docks. And I didn't need them to do the event.
Would I like them yes, having some F2P source for atleast 1 would be amazing.
But didn't need them to compete in the event
Yeah been part of it for awhile, I just don't post much
I understand the need to make money but they are greedy.
Can you f2p still and be somewhat effective sure. Can you f2p to g6+? .... pfffffffff At best f2p will be good at their level bracket.. a low one at that.. that's all
Nope been here since the beginning.
Assuming we're not going to hear anything till after reset now?
Announcement probably crashed during upload π€£
Nah just retrieving...
you can reach G6 as f2p (casual); I remember helping with their in-game concerns
shocking righttt lol
In 2055 maybe
wait wait wait not totally f2p
F2P nowadays is like $500 a month lol
I donβt see the game lasting that long probably not even another year.
or less, elite bp is enough
g6 with lowish.. spending.. as in battle passes only.. maybe
Smart $20 battle pass players should be at G6 or almost by now.
lol, calling f2p casual now?
So no f2p g6
Ok I bought the BP, can I have G6 now please?
Sad we getting same bugs f2p and p2w
just 200 more of those bps.. and someday you'll make it to g6
Nah, the queue artifact is p2w only. π
you gotta have the armadacores for the armadacenter or at least someone who bought them to get everyone into doing armadas... nobody can reach ops 51 completely without anyone spending
Can I atleast get the rewards for the lvl45-50 bracket for the Barriers slb. I'd be first place in that too but I'm only lvl44.
Scopes still around in 2040 confirmed!
Am I missing something the ASM hostiles or do they have no point besides the research that buffs stats against just β¦.them?
And they all will look like ferengi
Doubtful
It's very obvious by the scores that it's Fishy π€
I do love the people who are like Iβm f2p I only get the BP every new meme ship a few primes and a resource pack or two a month
Hope not...
I'm lvl 44, I'm 1st in the lvl44 bracket, and the lvl45-50 bracket, and I was top 5 in the lvl51+ bracket.
Talking about f2p g6 π scopely got jokes
The trick is to get employed by scopely, so the money you get paid was basically theirs. Totally counts.
Get someone else to buy packs for you. Then you're still F2P lol
Key & Peele have a similar skit on this
We need some compo Chests
Part of it is actually yours if youβve paid for the game .. but also meaning that itβs quite responsible task to maintain quality and features. Current scopely team of engineers are no better than interns .

@queen jolt
Why o'why can't I Swap
Uncommon Uranium for Rare or even Epic uranium...
It seems such an easy thing to set up
Also swap Fed ,ROM, and Klingon credits into Independent credits
Now Now, Scopely can only do so much. When you play stfc on a 5 year old phone.. and expect it to run like buttah
Or insist on playing stfc on a apple product
Because they each require different armadas to get them
It would defeat the purpose
Fanboi
No it would make it easier...
if you hate stfc? why you still hate playing?
Well I mean I guess, but exchange is pretty easy if you do the research
Is there a way to hide events you don't want to see?
I can see where this is going
Right on queue π
I'm not going through that madness of scrapping a near maxed Stella,
To start from scratch..
I'm guessing that's a no
what event don't you want to see?
Nope, what you see is technically what you do π€¦πΌββοΈ
All
I tend to get the Stella credits from the exborg. But I think you have to be some ops above ?
I think the quantum ones got moved into a folder already
The pride events
Stuck at L35, for a few weeks
will there be any chance of geting salvage feesha skin in store @humble orbit
That's the way it has always been
If you can win 39 exborg you could ops up during the spend event ?
Ask @queen jolt
And probably always will be π€·ββοΈ
@queen jolt any chance of feesha salvage skin in store? the thing we want not getting and the thing we dont need spam in store
A few with Saladin and Voyager+ I've got ENT
we've been asking for this to come back for over a year
no dice
I forgot what it looked like
I suppose voyager is good to tier but I have no idea . Ent max is good just 3* stuff .
What about the damaged Enterprise d Skin
I don't know what you mean ππ
On my server sadly
They just had us spend all our tokens for a slb. Now they want us to do sms's how!?!?
$$$ as everything they have done lately is to bleed us dry.
What tokens on what slb?
Blue ticket event is a waste of TIME
Seriously
No just pretend. But I still don't know what ur talking about.
What I absolutely love is this. Put thus out at reset without the events to complete them
claim chest to join the left event
I dislike those events very much
Cry about it
this year you got at least the option of choosing your avatar
Well, at least it isn't The Acolyte episode 3.
Oh lmao. Didn't spend any tokens on that.
We have 3 people saying there taking time off from the game. 1 said they are going for deletion. Over the pride event.
And nothing of value will be lost
I won't be completing the events or getting an avatar
Pro pride people can be jerks when people have different opinions.
this is the one. kindly do something. its been 2 years we havent seen it
Mirror Picard compared to no one else having him
