🌌-galaxy-chat

[little violet]

Its sourced 100% free

Just requires a tier 9 vidar and ops 35

[twilit lintel]

yes i been lazy lol

[little violet]

There so much to do in the game you got to pick your battles

[dull mason]

Do Max Vi'dar chest pull's the sooner the better, the Solo Armada's Give you the chest content's on the Left.

[exotic kraken]

What lvl ops can you decommission the regular Vidar to get a talios

[little violet]

Talios is immediately better

[twilit lintel]

i wish scopley gave away those tokens again

[little violet]

cargo is not, but meh

[little violet]

They only did that to make you want to buy those packs lol

[twilit lintel]

which i didnt lol

[dull mason]

Baby Talios is Rubbish LoL

[little violet]

in all fairness. Those are the best $99 packs

[nova shadow]

I think it might work if they give us...say 200 tokens. I might buy the pack.... 👀 🤫

[little violet]

I disagree.I could kill more 36 immediately with my talios than my vidar

[severe sentinel]

my t3 i think Talios with borg crew, doctor and ghalenar below deck, and the Clandestine refit can full cargo in Borg 33 probes

[dull mason]

Trust me you'll use the Vid'ar for daily Borg probe's and loot Exocomps

[severe sentinel]

so dont discount it just yet

[twilit lintel]

not gona waste money on a game that might shut down sooner or later

[little violet]

They gave us 400 on accident once 🤣

[severe sentinel]

it just takes a while because its a LOT of kills

[little violet]

All games shut down sooner or later.

[nova shadow]

A marvellous day

[severe sentinel]

but getting 1.3 mil off one token is nice

[twilit lintel]

which is why i dont put money into games like this

[little violet]

I don't hunt probes without a talios loot exo. 15minutes and I can get about 28m probes with three trips. Just have to summon home twice

[twilit lintel]

wow

[dull mason]

Look into the Left crate

[warm osprey]

Just use Exborg store ezpz

[twilit lintel]

i did

[little violet]

I do that now, but on days the make us hunt that is what I do

[dull mason]

The loot exo will fill your Vi'dar so you can do the double pull's

[warm osprey]

I still have some parts on the Franklin-A to upgrade, one usually does the trick

[little violet]

After all the 36+ borg probes are the #1 source of officer xp

Just collects dust. Free booters made it obsolete

[dull mason]

I've not hit 36's for ages,

[twilit lintel]

how do i get these tokens

[warm osprey]

yeah, just used for the threat reduction bp events now

[dull mason]

Dom Solos

[little violet]

I hate the warp times so I just do probes

[exotic kraken]

Rare and Epic solo armadas (Dominion)

[solemn plaza]

Open the solo armada chests in the bajoron store.

[twilit lintel]

ohhhhhh so i need to be more powerful then

[warm osprey]

what warp times? You can just spend frequency modulators and don't even have to leave your station

[exotic kraken]

Yup

[warm osprey]

same for charged probes

[dull mason]

I've hit load's they are fairly easy

[solemn plaza]

It's in all the solo chests. Not just R and E

[little violet]

Uncommon has a small portion too

[dull mason]

Buy the Solo directives from the top of the bajoran store
Also buy the Bajoran Dom Solo favors and Jem Hadar loot Favors

[exotic kraken]

There must be auto-mod here because there lag when I send anything lol 🤣

[twilit lintel]

ok so what crew do you use t beat the armada?

i dont got jane

[exotic kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/interrupt-bo1-cat-connection-slow-gif-13736345

[twilit lintel]

but now i have cerry maybe it will be better?

[dull mason]

Chek, Janeway, Seven
Borg Crew
Crusher and dax Plus Khan

[twilit lintel]

no jane

no chek

no crusher

[little violet]

I use from the beginning and still use. 1st ship: 5 as cap, 6 and khan; 2nd ship sisko cap, miles, bashir; 3rd Picard cap, bev(rare) and Eury for shield regen

[twilit lintel]

and i forgot who i used when i beat it the first time

[civic geyser]

Kirk , Spock bones should work

[twilit lintel]

no sisko

no bev

oh i got those

[little violet]

Can use Pike Moreau for similar results

[little violet]

No sisko do you have miles?

[queen jolt]

errr can someone check their Galactic Recruit tab if there's an information button

[little violet]

nope

[queen jolt]

tyyy back to HQ

[little violet]

would be nice if these were sourced like ultra recruits now

[solemn plaza]

This gorn event is really annoying.

[little violet]

Easy if you have janeway 😛

[solemn plaza]

Yup. But don't have her and can't get her.

[dull mason]

A deep space nine/ Voyager Recruitment chest would be GREAT...

[little violet]

She is one officer they should put into the battle similator

Kind of need her for a lot of things now

[solemn plaza]

Put her in TP exchange.

[little violet]

Lets not get tohasty 😛

[solemn plaza]

Along with E Picard

[twilit lintel]

mmmmmmmmmmmm pecan pie

[little violet]

Just an unlock for her is all they should provide

Or they could put torres in there cause I wanna max her and every shard that I can get is like candy

[twilit lintel]

no

[little violet]

Any word on a fleet commander event?

[twilit lintel]

any word on the next store event?

[silver parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-tm-soon-space-gif-23401891

[little violet]

to be honest it will probably be next arc. I don't see this mirror arc being dragged out to long

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-but-i-want-it-now-gif-26307521

[twilit lintel]

i hope this mirror thing is a joke ppl in my alliance complaining

[little violet]

The research is simply great tho

[solemn plaza]

I need her. This gorn event is way to expensive and time consuming otherwise. Need Epic and Jane.

[little violet]

All of it being 11 secs... Is another great thing...

[twilit lintel]

yeah i hear the research and officers are great but the time limit is a joke

[little violet]

what is more of a joke is the voucher limit.

time limit is fine un less you want to mine

[silver parcel]

and it's not worth mining til you got a selkie

[little violet]

I can't hit hostile there longer than 20minutes anyway

[twilit lintel]

there is a limit on how many times u can go in the rift?

[little violet]

Mirror vouchers.. Yes like transwarp cell on the vidar.

[twilit lintel]

oh wow

prob gotta pay to get them eh

[little violet]

they give you 900 every 3 days. cost 300 per entry

[twilit lintel]

wait what lol

[little violet]

Yeah and they limit it at 900

Then it cost to move through the mirror verse

[twilit lintel]

that is soooooo ...............

[little violet]

They give you plenty tho

[twilit lintel]

ahh ok

[little violet]

cost 100 per warp point

MIght now be so easy starting out tho.. cause they gave us a ton last arc and that is where most of mine came from

We need more impulse research 😕

[twilit lintel]

talkin bout impulse i saw this op 37 fly by me fast i wanna go that fast lol

[little violet]

probably speed crew

[twilit lintel]

only fast one ik is klaa

25%

[little violet]

I can't use those in the mirror verse

[twilit lintel]

it wont let u?

[little violet]

I will show you why in a moment

[dull mason]

Impulse Crew

[little violet]

to big to hit with a speed crew for me

[twilit lintel]

oh my

[dull mason]

Riker is a good one

[twilit lintel]

no riker

[little violet]

Maybe with snw going to try that next idk

[twilit lintel]

well

i have one riker but its gray

[little violet]

That way I can put doctor under deck

[solemn plaza]

Welp hope the gorn isn't important or good. Cuz that's more content I'm ignoring.

[little violet]

It is..

[dull mason]

For the Dom Solo
Give it a Shot
Use your 3 Best ship's and Crew,
The timer is 1 and half minutes
Ues lower deck crew's if you have them

[little violet]

Eviscerator is the only skin I shelled out $99 for

Guaranteed rare ship parts... where else?

[twilit lintel]

i'll try when i go grindin again for that purple stuff

[little violet]

Not only that iso defense for pvp and new officer sourcing;

[solemn plaza]

Yup well.....not spending $150 on a "Microtransaction"

[little violet]

Well they are giving out free... The ship

The skin on boosts the parts

[solemn plaza]

Don't have the crew to kill the gorn so it's getting skipped. More dead content for me.

[little violet]

I would say this ship is as good as the talios since it is a copy paste with better goodies

[dull mason]

Don't you have any Solo directives..?
Plus The Bajoran favors will help you a Lot

[little violet]

With the ship being offered fre from Thursday event I would say get it

Artifacts are also sourced and faction credits...

If you don't think that is good then 🤷

The ship literally grows with you from g4-G6

[solemn plaza]

You need to kill gorn to get the ship that kills gorn.....when you can't kill the gorn the event is pointless.
Have to either wait and pray they give out free jane or Epic shards or just skip that content.

[dull mason]

They are credits LoL 😆
Directives are next to the Defiant

[little violet]

I mean if you hit low enough you should be able to kill them off just artifact damage

[solemn plaza]

Nope. Level 40 is the lowest. Ain't happening.

[dull mason]

Yes

[little violet]

what ships you got?

[twilit lintel]

yeah i gotta grind lol

[dull mason]

Hit jem hadr swap in bajoran store for Solo's

[twilit lintel]

mostly everyone offline cuz of 4th of july so hardly nobody is doing apex lol

[solemn plaza]

Kelvin. Can kill 1 per hull. Not spending 44 hulls worth to do an event, not worth the time or the trit.

[twilit lintel]

yeah ik but ughhhhh the grindin

just like swarm

[little violet]

If you can get janeway from the exborg store. It will make it easier

I tiered her from there

[little violet]

why?

[dull mason]

Bigger ship's have bigger loot look at the Loot Favor

[little violet]

Did you just unlock exborg?

[solemn plaza]

Cuz it takes forever to get rep for exborg. I've only been playing again for like 6 weeks.

[twilit lintel]

yeah thats why i go here

[little violet]

Once you unlock the officer exchange. Go all in for the max pulls on it

[solemn plaza]

I've only got 4/120 shards for Jane. So thats also going to take forever.

What's the cost for the beam delay in exborg. Was told you need it to kill xindi

[little violet]

Not as long as you think they give a lot of shards

[twilit lintel]

and since i now got the cerritos i can buff my ships for when i do solo armads

but

i just wish it had an officer like voy got

[little violet]

Idk if you can get rare credits without the nx01 tho 🤔

[civic geyser]

Best to go crazy with armadas during incursions with exo loot on

[twilit lintel]

untill other server kills the leadng ship

[dull mason]

Defiant bluffs Dom's
I don't think it works on them

[little violet]

For Jem's maybe cause the loot is so bad they made a primefor it. But in all honesty.. The loots not bad till G5

They know and made a prime cause they designed it poorly... Just to sell it...

[twilit lintel]

no i'm talkin bout buffing my ships

3k a piece

[little violet]

Which disgusts me

[solemn plaza]

So another pay or time wall. So have to wait 100 days to get NX and then another 100 to get the gorn. Scopely needs to massively reduce the time it takes to get ship F2P. Like shouldn't take more than 2-3 weeks to get a ship.

[twilit lintel]

took me 70 days to get the voy

thank god that store event came lol

[little violet]

I agree. When I first started ... There were no arc. If you missed the event for the ship only sourcing was paying. they didn't bring the events back.. Then the first arc... Borg brought in an event store 3 months in... The game change... You could earn the the ship if you played through the arc... Now... You don't even get bps free during the arc.. Then they give out bps that takes months to build

[solemn plaza]

But you have to wait 2 months for them to decide how to make it F2P, and then it takes 3 months to get it. 5 months to get "game changing" content is insane.

I also remember when OG Vidar came out in the 1st BP for free.

[little violet]

Yep

[silver parcel]

They should make it like the cube. Day 1 full purchase, half with free bp, finish with event store, full with elite bp.

That way everyone can earn it in a reasonable time

Or speed it up

[solemn plaza]

F2P path should come out at the same time as the paid option. And make it a reasonable grind, not make people wait 2 months and then spend 3 months grinding.

[little violet]

They sell more ships if they don't do that . They are so greedy thatis all they care about. They have made it very clear they hate F2P players

In a free to play.. App

[solemn plaza]

And that's exactly why F2P people spend their money on other games.

[earnest raven]

You can get rare credits by hunting Xindi Reptilian Surveys and exchanging the bounties.

[little violet]

To be fair if you are free to play here.. you are likely free to play there..

although they only offer $99 packs if you have bought your first $20 pack

Their target audience is the middle class to upper class. They don't care about anyone else

[solemn plaza]

I spend on other games alot more than I do on here. BP on here is the only thing I will buy. Everything else is a joke. If $150 is their idea of a micro transaction, wth is their idea of a macro transaction.

[little violet]

Been begging for a fleet commander event for 6 months and they won't bring it back cause it doesn't sell packs and they don't want to remove odo out of the sms cause they are to lazy

[solemn plaza]

Skipped the current flash pass cuz it sucks.

[little violet]

Their idea of a micro transaction is $5k

[silver parcel]

didn't get the last two flash passes

[little violet]

I never buy'em. Not worth it

[silver parcel]

oh wait, i did get the one with torres

Because it maxed her out

[solemn plaza]

I got the last 1 cuz it almost unlocked an officer. I did math wrong and I was a few shards short.

[little violet]

I know they are $10 but 10 shards is not worth my cash

[solemn plaza]

Exchange and taxes suck. Flash pass is almost $15 for me.

The full BP is basically $30

The big packs are $150

[little violet]

That's just wrong. I know why they do it tho.. IF they put the rates the same for other countries in their currency. I could say... I'm in mexico and pay like $1 in peso and get a $99 pack. I know that is not realistic conversions but might be close

[little violet]

Oof

[warm pivot]

in other games it was possible with rubel if you set your adress to the consulat and used a vpn. buying 100€ worth with just 10€ but playing as if you are living in russia xD

[little violet]

Yep and that is why scopely doesn't do the exchange

[warm pivot]

to be fair, it was an imeasurable advantage

but that is p2w for you

on the other hand, every server in tiberium alliance had a set goal and all your investment was useless after the race for 1st place was lost once

[little violet]

They are very greedy in my mind because they are a $5b company...

[solemn plaza]

I mean the fact I'm missing like $10k+ worth of prime research should highlight an issue.

[magic glen]

They'd sell more if they gave $20 options with just the item unlock instead of putting in all the mats, res, etc in with it. I still don't have Drydock H, research 5 and building 4 because they only have the $100 option. It's so dumb that they talk about giving us choice, yet don't give us things to choose. But what do I expect from a company that makes Prime this and Prime that and multiple tier primes that are more expensive with each tier?

[little violet]

Yep

[solemn plaza]

To along with my $750 of missing specialty ships.

[little violet]

They top out a $99, but a 7 tiered prime... Yeah.. Which is absolutely free if you are ops 61+ ...

Of course you paid a lot to get into the 60's but yeah...

[solemn plaza]

Just waiting now for a prime that speeds up the F2P access of a different prime 🤣

[little violet]

coming thoon to a store near you

[silver parcel]

basically what the whip was

[little violet]

The whip was worth it to me cause I hate mining lat.. They should have made it like the dvor free, but they seen the opportunity to get some money out of it and did

[silver parcel]

yeah it was worth it, probably the most valuable 49.99 you could spend

[little violet]

Yep cause it trickles epics

Slow trickle, but I will eventually unlock the red matter free with it

[silver parcel]

almost got the thalaron unlocked

so far have unlocked the time crystal

[little violet]

I need to tier my whip

[silver parcel]

they need to add the rest of the epics to it

[solemn plaza]

lol I wish.

100% not worth it.

[silver parcel]

even at that price point, compared to other things in that range, i would still say it's worth ti, given what you can unlock with it

[little violet]

If you buy anything of that amount .. Get the whip. It is worth it. If not Idk when it will be free to play sourced

[silver parcel]

steady supply of rares to unlock the rare FTs

[little violet]

If ever.. But they are starting to loosen the grip on Forbidden tech so maybe soon. The sales numbers must be low on it

[silver parcel]

just wish i could convert the rares to credits

[nimble river]

Where's the July 4th gift and packs?

[little violet]

That is fine not at all saying you should buy it

[solemn plaza]

I'm still waiting of a F2P path on a prime that came out like 2 years ago when I quit.

[solemn plaza]

Meant it's never going to have F2P path

[little violet]

these particles should be free to play sourced

[nimble river]

That's only way I would get them

[solemn plaza]

F2P when?

[little violet]

Not paying for disco warp range and there are some other good things with those particle

[solemn plaza]

This is what 18months -2 years old at this point.

[little violet]

Free to play now with the exborg store lol

[nimble river]

Passed on them no longer needed

[little violet]

I get like 32m venom for 2800 common exborg credits.. good for weeks with that

[flint ruin]

Never.

[little violet]

Better than spending all saturday morning hunting actians

[solemn plaza]

Still need the borg credits for research and stuff.

[little violet]

Me too but I use it on grind things first and foremost.. I hate grinds

[flint ruin]

If there’s one thing Scopely excels at, it’s generating revenue. Things are priced the way they are because this is what maximizes their take.

[solemn plaza]

The top 10 people probably spend more than everyone else combined.

[warm pivot]

their own fault i guess 🤷‍♂️

[little violet]

Once they lose one of those players panic will set in

[solemn plaza]

Wouldn't fault them. If they've got the money and nothing else they want to buy then more to them for spending on here.

[warm pivot]

idk if i ever want to face such problems, imagin how many fake people try to be your buddies if you got that amount of money

[little violet]

Idc what anyone else spends. It is their money everyone has their own budgets

[dry valve]

Why you think that, new whale joins they got to buy the shop and even us Dolphins bought whip and all the rare techs

Still gold to be mined in them hills

[little violet]

Idk what scopely would consider a dolphin spending

[dry valve]

Under 1k a month

[warm pivot]

getting rare officers tiered in 2024 = dolphin xD

[little violet]

I thought it was 1-2k to be considered

[little violet]

I would say that is trueish

[dry valve]

MU Data is out of Dolphins league

D costs alone, forget claiming anything else

[warm pivot]

just those tiny amounts of d, come on and save a lil ^^

[little violet]

Not true. One pack unlocked him

to level 2

[dry valve]

One pack equals pure RNG 💩 crew

Even the £100

You can run him Captain sure and only hit interceptors till second arc

[little violet]

I got M picard and he is complete 💩 with dezok

[dry valve]

When he works MU Pic is unbeatable

[warm pivot]

my dezok still is only tier 2, what should i say? xD

[little violet]

Mines tier 3

[solemn plaza]

Mines tier....oh right I don't have him.

[warm pivot]

idk if i should focus more on gossa or borg queen in the megacube events now

kinda want the whole below deck trio

[dry valve]

Kira next and her rare expensive hangers on

[warm pivot]

kira is more valuable than a bugged tal tbh xD

[little violet]

Depends if you are fighting whales with a max rot.. Nvm I thought the rot gave hit chance

[warm pivot]

dont think we will get sourcing for her anytime soon

[dry valve]

MU Pic and premium tree has made whales T7 players now, it’s not even chipping their paint no more 😩

[little violet]

Never even chipped their paint before. I just spray painted Brooks was here on their hull

[leaden seal]

Did Scopely mess up the overflow on OBP again?

[regal python]

we need a mechanism that able to detect cloacked enemy @humble orbit @compact storm @analog pond

[warm pivot]

40k points in 3 days`should be ok

[leaden seal]

12500/day x3 =37500

[compact storm]

There is one on the starbases or are you talking for just you personally?

[warm pivot]

sunday normally is more like 20k

[regal python]

for example:
I opened an Epic armada and an enemy lurks in camouflage, with just a few seconds to go before he kills me.

A system that allows you to detect nearby camouflaged ships to avoid this type of attack, as there is no way to defend yourself.

[compact storm]

I have had that situation over the years since cloaking debuted. We usually just cloak and beat the armada while cloaked.

[wary frost]

server seems to be taking a dump right now

[regal python]

In the case of Stella, who doesn't allow herself to be camouflaged?

[compact storm]

Which server and what issues are you seeing?

[compact storm]

Well, if you are in the middle of a war and that is why you are having issues, we have done Stella armadas with normal ships. You don't get the juicy loot, but you get the points for the event.

Cloaking and armadas have been a sore point since cloaks were made, and that feedback has been given a lot. About the best that you can do right now is figure out how to game your opponent.

[regal python]

right.. the best way is not participate of this events...

[hot dove]

Doesnt that defeat the point of cloaking 🤔

[exotic kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-spaceship-gif-13777329

[warm pivot]

starbases located in a system can provide cloaking detection in that system

[regal python]

no, limiting it to correct use....
only enabled ships, detection space limit, consumable to perform a skill, researchs, etc.

[exotic kraken]

do plasma and magnetic storms ever renew? Just built the starbase and every system seems depleted

[acoustic grail]

you have to switch between the two to reset the previous 1 you were mining

[silver parcel]

They show as 0 until you place your starbase on the node.

[wide agate]

is there a way to get a hold of the loading screen art?

[wary frost]

not sure if they are still happening, i laid down for an old man nap and just got back up, server 72, ships stuck in combat for like a minute, systems not loading, not able to hit join on armadas. then all the sudden everything catches up.

[little violet]

Does this actually spawn 61's?

[silver parcel]

no

chasers are 61 in there

but regular spawns no

[little violet]

Lame

[silver parcel]

But anyone hitting chasers in those systems has made some bad decisions with their account

[little violet]

Was going to say I am grinding 3 ships in there and not one 61 spawned in the last 20 minutes lol

Have you got a g5 miner bps from grinding before?

I mean faction miner

[silver parcel]

You won't get any g5 rare miner bps from grinding g5

But i get more nova bps than I know what to do with

[little violet]

That is what I thought, but alliance mate said he got some in intellio

intello

[silver parcel]

maybe a g4 bp

but not g5

I've gotten vorta vor in there many times

got 3 today

[shy hamlet]

how else am I going to do combat training 61?

[silver parcel]

MU

heh

[little violet]

hit someone elses chaser 😄

[silver parcel]

was able to kill one 61 with the freshly built d'deridex

because it had the warp range to get there, haha

once i hit 1b power on it, will try again

got a bit to go

[little violet]

Surprised it not pushing more than that at T4

[silver parcel]

full upgrade here will put it over 800

[little violet]

Next tier will probably 1bish then

[silver parcel]

somewhere around that from what i saw from one of my guys when he built his first one

[little violet]

They start gaining stupid power chunks when it hits tier 5

[silver parcel]

i can start upgrading the cube again

just need lots of ore

[little violet]

Wow your are broke for uncommon. Shocking

[silver parcel]

not much left after back to back to back to back spend events, haha

[viscid hedge]

I guess they figured out the game is unplayable after they cut resources to it and have to put a wee bit back on the game. Still it is just an experiment in how much abuse we are willing to take before we stop spending.

[little violet]

60 must ask for a ridiculous amount for buildings

[silver parcel]

to get to 60 from 59 is redonkulous

[silver parcel]

this is 60-62, 60-61 is just ops now

last upgrade for 61

[little violet]

I would do it. Then just camp 61 till ready to move on

[viscid hedge]

It’s those extra 13 hours that will get you

[silver parcel]

I'll hit 61 when i get the dd to 1b or grind out the 4b klingon rep and build a rotarran

whichever happens first

got all the credits for a rotarran

did 1.4b klingon last night

before passing out

[little violet]

Going to hit legend in the next hr or so

[silver parcel]

would've probably did more but someone else in my alliance was there grinding, so let him have the surveys

[tired lily]

The fun is just starting for you 😛

[little violet]

Got to be selfish and say .. Eh, those are mine.. Mine lol

[silver parcel]

I was hopped up on benedryl and yuengling, sleep was inevitable.

woke up 25 minutes before the cerritos slb ended to one of my guys 30m ahead of me, tossed two ships in buffed "NOOOO GO BACK TO SLEEP"

He was well behind when we recruited him, but he's progressed fantastically under us, kind of shot myself in the foot there, made me work for it

haha

[little violet]

G5 make a big difference

[silver parcel]

We got a g6 player that shows us what not to do, haha

[little violet]

Will customer support give you back rep exos that that glitch?

[silver parcel]

no idea

[little violet]

They've taken atleast 10 rom 100% exos cause it double activates

[silver parcel]

use a different crap exo after using your reps, to clear the bug

I basically fill em with vidar exos

then use rep

[little violet]

Like a warp or something

[silver parcel]

yeah

whatever would fill the double slots

The bug happens when you use the same ones back to back

using a crap one in between clears it

[little violet]

First one I activated today doubled it was fed. Then it was rom

So you mean because the last one i used was rep it glitches it even if it was days apart?

[silver parcel]

yeah

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-annoyed-stöhn-oh-no-oh-nein-gif-24943313

Scopely way of saying... Eh... We don't want you to have back stocks in exos

[little violet]

Boom. Just as my exo ran out..

[foggy lark]

Happy Fourth <@&509690795536941056> I posted a 12 HR shield at 1124am PT before my BBQ... Just checked my devices and hours of raiding... It's 1757 PT @queen jolt @ the other guy

Calling shenanigans!

[solemn plaza]

Do you still have to pull chests and do some other magic after using a shield before logging off to make sure the server catches the shield.

[foggy lark]

I triple checked

Was in full effect according to the game

Log out events claim localization clearing close and new device login after 3 logins on other devices. It was locked and loaded. How was it voided?

[solemn plaza]

Scopely....thats how.

It's a conspiracy

They're watching you.

[little violet]

It is very hard to get them to return resources.

[solemn plaza]

Debating if I tier my voyager or leave it where it is.

[silver parcel]

what tier?

[little violet]

I wouldn't take it past tier 10 🤷

[solemn plaza]

4

Thought I read somewhere the chest costs jump in cost alot at T5

[little violet]

why.... why ... Why...

[silver parcel]

tier 7

[silver parcel]

Once you hit tier 8, it switches to g5

so enjoy the commerce boxes at tier7 while you can

[solemn plaza]

So it's good to push to T7 then

[little violet]

Here a chart. Cause I love to plan things..

[solemn plaza]

Might just say f it then and spend all my gas 😅

[little violet]

I maxed my faction rep today in galaxy tree.. for feds because I wanted my lock

Got it right as my second exo run ran out 😄

If you have a higher level neelix.. The voy crap is easy

[severe sentinel]

yeah Neelix is a must have.

[little violet]

Tuvok a must have for the mining

[severe sentinel]

yup

[warm pivot]

t6 in the late 40`s, voyager warprange issues till some more researches. biotoxin gets pretty scarse when voyager is t6 prior ops 47

[severe sentinel]

dang....

at least its easier to manage mining

since theres plenty of Cargo officers

[solemn plaza]

Normally use stonn/4/2 laan/edata

[little violet]

So it seems your really just diving into the voyager. Let me give you some advice. Only hit enough species hostiles to do one pull. Go to the 41 zone and summon a silverblood. Rest of the time you should be spending your canisters in this other location

[severe sentinel]

I think Im using borg stonn, Alonzo freeman and the borg with cargo as his cap skill. then E-Data and Tuvok below

[severe sentinel]

i dont think i can reach there yet. but why?

[little violet]

The cubes give faction messages and the chest they drop give insignia

[solemn plaza]

The voyager officers have really bad sourcing unless you've got all the other special ships. And I'm like 200+ days away from some of those.

[little violet]

I don't hunt scouts

[little violet]

They are sourced great in the exborg. That is the only real place to get them

[silver parcel]

Exborg officer box and artifact box, nanotech, g5 rare.

[little violet]

THis chest is always good too.

[solemn plaza]

I'm 100+ days away from being able to pull that reliably.
They're also in gorn refinery.

[little violet]

Kind of...

[silver parcel]

gorn is snw officers, the new ones

[severe sentinel]

SamKirk has been doin work for me

[silver parcel]

oh forgot about the other box

[little violet]

There another officer pull in there

[severe sentinel]

I use sam now in my Q Trial team

[silver parcel]

Voyager probably has the best pulls out of all the officers

[little violet]

You need to find someone that can go opc with that stuff and let you have some

[severe sentinel]

word

[solemn plaza]

I have a friend but his ships way way too big for me to kill lol

[little violet]

Burning..

[solemn plaza]

He's lvl 66.

Ain't nobody got time to burn that lol

[little violet]

If he comes opc to your base with no hull left should be an easy exchange

[solemn plaza]

I'll see what happens lol

[little violet]

Unless he is using G6 ships

[solemn plaza]

He probably has the gorn ship.

[little violet]

That ships a easy kill

this is the only reason I fell in love with that ship. No where else is this guaranteed

and this is just the first part that it has parts

[silver parcel]

wish they would've picked a different currency for the research

[little violet]

Yeah. Mines all lvl0

[silver parcel]

great thing about the parts refinery is that you keep all tiers

instead of it switching

[little violet]

Yeah

It adds them in right? or just adds the g5 in after

[silver parcel]

g5 gets a separate category

[little violet]

I was hoping it would add them in together

looking at it closer I see they are seperated

[silver parcel]

just wish the parts weren't such a slow trickle

[little violet]

I'll be tier 5 in two days. I have the skin

[shy hamlet]

I'm looking forward to jumping mine a few tiers once I build it in however many weeks

[silver parcel]

have been using it to carry g4 armadas, haha

[little violet]

I need 102k parts which is 3 days of pulls. 40k parts a day

[little violet]

Make sure you get the extra recruit pulls per tier

[silver parcel]

need a research slb so i can pop all this extra cube research

next one is on the 6th

weee, lagging again

[fathom mesa]

ohh really, thats so good. Finally able to actually work on G4 ships again

[silver parcel]

yeah, was my first thought

[fathom mesa]

Makes spend sms also less dreadfull

[silver parcel]

git first tier on the sms getting a korinar to 8

[fathom mesa]

🤨 outch

[silver parcel]

managed 2, could probably do a 3rd

but it's just syndicate rep

[fathom mesa]

Ohh i was thinking for the in arc new officer ones

Whats your first milestone btw?

[silver parcel]

2.92m

wishing i didn't dump like 15m in the xlb

[fathom mesa]

Hmm, would have expected more when a T8 kori took you there 😅 Not a big jump from 54.

[silver parcel]

efficiencies are great for leveling, terrible for events

wish i could toggle them sometimes to burn g4 materials

[fathom mesa]

Fair enough ^^

[shy hamlet]

I've kept my voyager at t7 so I can keep tiering my miners

[little violet]

Ops 58 armada chest have faction miners in it?

And epics?

[silver parcel]

if i recall the epics show up at 58

59*

and are abysmal on the drop rates

didn't start pulling any until i hit 60

could just be bad rng

but i didn't get a single epic pull at 59

[wet anchor]

Faction miners are there in the armada chest even at lower ops, just a very very low chance of getting any prints

All from armada chests in the last four months

[silver parcel]

yeah their drop started out slow

built a vrax already

the other two are chests

[wet anchor]

Even the 56 ships seem very low 😕

[silver parcel]

wish i could scrap them, haha

the novas, corvus, vorcha, northcutt

got enough to make almost 2 more novas, 2 corvus, 3 vorcha and a northcutt

just from armada pulls and drops

at least i can scrap a maxed out hydra in a day or two

thanks to the gorn refinery

apparently the game wants me to make another sanctus too

[humble orbit]

Must pick up, got a lotta extra 56r bps.

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/dammit-damn-damn-it-ron-swanson-parks-and-rec-gif-6181978361311525703

[humble orbit]

These too, don't even have the faction for this one. 😃

[silver parcel]

I got my northcutt from armada drops and hostile drops when my fed was still at 10m

lol

[warm pivot]

at this point i wanna scream... G4 chests are crap xD

[silver parcel]

Seeing a lot of maxed out g5 uncs lately

wondering what they're thinking

c'mon 10m bubble, no whammy.

[humble orbit]

"I maxed the efficiency primes and I'm gonna use them?"

[silver parcel]

poppa needs a new part for his deridex

apparently people don't like this dude, got offers to help clean him out from 3 guys

[humble orbit]

Looking at the amount of bps I have for G4 ships, yup, and I've been pulling those chests for far longer. I still haven't seen a lucky 46r or 50e.

[silver parcel]

I got a lucky antares back in the day, lol, right after i built one

[wet anchor]

Not through ops 55 at least. Almost all of these are from mission drops. The uncommon ships yeah are pretty decent, though the nova for me has lagged the warships.

[silver parcel]

wish i could hide or scrap bps for stuff

i keep scrolling through almost hitting build on the novas and g5 uncs

[warm pivot]

i`ll most likely have all 3 g4 miners by the time i start pulling rare chests for cores. its sad

[silver parcel]

g4 chests for cores were so bad

[wet anchor]

4 months or so into g5

Corvus I already built, got about halfway with armada chests

[humble orbit]

Did CCs leak a list of new ultra officers yet? saw an interesting earlier comment on them.

And the decay timer is up in a few days.

[silver parcel]

forgot all about that timer, haha

what would be funny is if it disappeared during a recruit slb

[warm pivot]

i bet half a trillion parsteel on some pvp officers 😉

[silver parcel]

next one is on the 6th, so it'll still have time

[humble orbit]

The three Js makes sense: Janeway, Jadzia, and Jaylah.

[silver parcel]

need some kira

[solemn plaza]

I saw someone get a lucky Ent-A right after they dropped the $2800 to buy it. (This was way back when G4 was max)

[humble orbit]

I think T'ana is also likely, they've been increasing supply of iso def lately.

[silver parcel]

ouch

managed to build an ent a from drops and armada pulls

Awesome, the lag is so weird atm that when I sent a ship to scoop, it looked like it was raiding my own station

[solemn plaza]

People can't raid you if you raid yourself. Big brain moves right there.

[silver parcel]

LOL

[shy hamlet]

if I could raid myself I'd move up those last 3 spots on the lb in a hurry

[fast scarab]

Which level ships drops them?

[silver parcel]

was dropping from 60s

[fast scarab]

Also which crew is used for lvl52+ ships?

[silver parcel]

janeway doc torres usually for me, or ent e riker, ent e data, and kuron

[fast scarab]

PMC doesn't work here right?

[warm pivot]

snw, voyager

[fast scarab]

Oh ok, thanks

[minor furnace]

Pike/Moreau/EData is good in a pinch. Have hugh below deck

[solemn plaza]

None of these officers are the OG Mbenga..... Mbenga is all you need.

[minor furnace]

But my main crew is EPicard/EData/5 loot crew with hugh, chapel, Paris and Blanna below

[humble orbit]

One of my stronger crews for punching up awhile back was voy. These days I just use eRiker eData bev.

[solemn plaza]

Of all those offices I have Edata and 5 lol.

[minor furnace]

Hm. Gonna have to work on that borg loop so you can get Hugh

But having 5 and edata is a great start.

[warm pivot]

kuron is a nice addition if your 5 still is low tier

[fast scarab]

I'm stuck at 112/120 shards of janeway for quite a few months now... Tried rare formadas, exborg store, gorn loot... Another source for her shards other than money?

[silver parcel]

no

galactic recruit for the rare ticket events and other misc events that give em

(something that sorely needs to be improved upon)

probably not something you want to see

lol

did a nanotech pull

[fast scarab]

Lol

[sturdy umbra]

Everyone else on the same page with this event

Or did you all dig in

[wet anchor]

I finished all the syndicate xp milestones

Wanted to ops up anyway so it worked out

[silver parcel]

could probably finish the last syndicate and get one or two into hugh but saving for the 2nd part of the arc

expecting a syndicate event later today

[steady berry]

You’re farther than me 😂

[silver parcel]

Spin spin spinning, watch that attack button spin, yay.

[opaque badger]

You spent 2.9M more than I did

[oblique forum]

i have 0 points to^^... save my mats for next arc

[gilded turret]

Not even reached 1st milestone 🙄

[dull mason]

It is simply a ploy to use up every last scrap or Mat's before a weekend with a full on Spend event

We really need the bonus Refinery today.

[vast topaz]

is that counter on the ultra recruit the time until new added officers, or are they in there now and just not noteworthy at all. Rutherford seems new to me???

[silver parcel]

There was a bug that caused the pack to go away, they added it back, but it had a long timer, most likely due to the pack vanishing and they had a quick fix to get it back

who knows what happens when it counts down completely

[drifting pewter]

Is that a good way for fast upgrading?

[foggy lark]

Rev?

[drifting pewter]

I always feel that I upgrade one ops level, unlock one ship, upgrade that ship, which cast me a lot of resources

[wraith fog]

I've got to say the Fourth sounds fun, us Canadians just go camping & drink beer for Canada Day 🤷🏻‍♂️

[silver parcel]

You need to strike a balance between research, buildings and ships

[queen jolt]

As you upgrade your Ops, the daily goals/events will also increase in difficulty. That's the only challenge I see in rushing

[foggy lark]

Another shield failure... which who cares I had beer and steaks.... but why failure on holiday?

[silver parcel]

Ships should always keep up with your dailies at the minimum

[wraith fog]

Small caveat to this is you can over-do it also, I'm classic for that

[foggy lark]

Seriously... why did my 12 hr shield fail?

[drifting pewter]

I see, I will try this way, I think is no bad

[wraith fog]

That's still happening?!

[foggy lark]

Got attack notifications hours later...

[wraith fog]

Thought that was just an Incursion glitch, maybe I just hoped...I almost solely use 12s because of the issues with 8-hours 🙄

[foggy lark]

Popped a 12 around 11 am pt... got raided at 3

[shy hamlet]

there's also loops. xindi and silent especially can be punishing if your ships aren't up to par and have a much higher standard for "par" than other areas

[foggy lark]

No way I didn't pop a 12 and confirmed before logging off

[shy hamlet]

I never have problems with 12 hour shields and my base has a bigger target on it than Mee's

They try to keep politics out of the game events.

@queen jolt are there any plans in the near future to update the faction hunt event? There’s really no value in it at the moment for the time needed.

[solemn plaza]

It's not going so well lol

[proper jackal]

please add something else to do

There's no content

[opal dew]

getting "Exception_error_200" the whole time ?

[wraith raven]

It's the hallmark of all special event weeks, theres no events

[proper jackal]

There's nothing, not even something cool in the store

[pine tiger]

where can we discus other servers policies on zero nodes?

[opal dew]

on your own server discord. if there is one

[dull mason]

Happy Grind Day

Everyone.....

[dull mason]

This isn't that type of game 😒

[livid shell]

When is double refined ?

[pine tiger]

i tried but get buried bt the BIG players

#⭐-official-announcements message

[burnt pilot]

I know that when you are participating in an exchange Armada it is more preferable to use the Stella versus a standard ship because the Stella gives you more loot Rewards and it is equally beneficial when there is an apex event. But if you use only a standard ship and everyone else uses a Stella the standard ship does not take away the loot Rewards any more or less than it generally would because the Stella gives you a bonus and whatever loot rewards you accumulate more so than just a standard ship when doing an exchange Armada? Just wondering if I'm wrong

[wispy token]

yep

[wet anchor]

As long as the standard ship is weaker or about the same as the Stella

[queen jolt]

thanks soap!

[wet anchor]

If you bring a g4 ship that’s ten times bigger you steal everyone’s loot

[warm pivot]

the thing is, standart ships have much more might when you enter the opsrange for stella... 27 and especially 28, so while the saladins out there grow to 1m in might newly built stellas start off with 200k, so in that case the saladin would take 5/6th of the loot prior to lootmultiplications

[humble orbit]

Loot share is apportioned by ship power, and then everyone's share gets their bonuses. If you use a 1b power ship, all of the loot share will be yours and stellas get nothing to boost.

[limber latch]

Hi guys

[wispy token]

A decent g3 epic messes it up for the stellas

[limber latch]

Guys I am looking for advice

[opal plover]

on?

[burnt pilot]

Oh ok thanks now I get it

[proper jackal]

When do servers ascend

[oblique prism]

yes you should get that rash looked at

[weak cosmos]

$$$$$

[limber latch]

My first job now this may seem inappropriate but I am just asking around. How can I make a good impression on my supervisors.

[opal plover]

There isn't a set amount of time. Combination of how long ago it released, how many players are capped at 39, how many are in G3, etc.

[proper jackal]

We're in G4 atm

[opal plover]

Apply same logic for next ascension

[exotic berry]

There is no logical reason why g6, upper g5 and lower g5 are combined into one bracket.

They have both completely different packs and spend capabilities.

To continue to keep them combined on any server is tantamount to excluding g5 players (especially lower g5) from competing in the events.

@queen jolt

[iron steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/twd-stuff-and-things-the-walking-dead-walking-dead-amc-gif-9566449

[proper jackal]

And like G3 we only get put into Incursion with servers that have ascended

[opal plover]

There's a perfectly logical reason from a business perspective. just sucks for all of us players. And, in turn, a lot of us aren't going into g5

[proper jackal]

I think our server had maybe... 70/80 players at 39 before ascension. Surely we're not talking the same at 50 for the next one

[opal plover]

why not? lol When did y'all ascend to G4?

[proper jackal]

Like 6 weeks ago 👀🫠

[opal plover]

lol, hurry up and wait 🙂

[exotic berry]

No, not even in a business sense. By excluding g5 players, esp lower g5, they are REDUCING pack sales.

Why would any g5 player buy a single pack when they know they need 10x to 100x just to even compete with a single g6 ship component? Let alone multiple

[proper jackal]

Idk how you've sat at 50 for so pong

I've generally been here for like.. 3 weeks and I'm bored of it 🤣

[opal plover]

it makes perfect sense if you know how much the top end spends compared to g5 🙂

[exotic berry]

Again, zero business sense

[opal plover]

why are you bored? you have TONS of things left to do

[exotic berry]

They need to entice spend

Not detract

[proper jackal]

Because there's no point investing into a tribune or another G4 epic

[opal plover]

Yes there is lol

Whoever told you that, gave bad advice

[proper jackal]

No there absolutely isn't. It will get blown out the water as soon as ascension drops and you turn 53 and unlock a vorcha

[oblique prism]

trust me, Scopley might employ subpar programmers, but they invest heavily in their sales and marketing departments, they have the data that shows what makes them the most money. Once that data points to making more money by splitting up G5/G6 it will happen.

[opal plover]

Tell that to all the 53UC mine has wrecked 🙂 don't be silly

[proper jackal]

That's stats and what not

[opal plover]

nope lol

Also, you're not even 100M power

it's notj ust g4 epic you're missing

[opal plover]

plenty you haven't done!

[proper jackal]

Absolutely loads im not disagreeing

[opal plover]

that's a speed PVE crew....

[proper jackal]

I still have Stella content, etc etc

I know there's loads for me to do. I have half the G4 station research needed to be doing

[exotic berry]

Then their sales and marketing depts are just as inept as their programmers. Scores alone show g6 are the only scorers and g5 is largely irrelevant. You may see one or two creep into the top 50, but those are the exception, not the norm

[gritty elk]

Cause 1 week straight of spend events isn't enough right? Let's add another

[proper jackal]

But it's nice to know the estimated amount of time for another ascension. I won't invest into a G4 epic if in a month or 2 we go to 53

[opal plover]

Just saying, as someone who not only has a g4 now, but has already played through the 50s, the g4 epics absolutely have a point 🙂

[carmine compass]

I thought i did the math right :/

[proper jackal]

I won't get one. Unless I can F2P max pull it

[opal plover]

would be shocked if you ascend next month. you only have a dozen 50s, like 110 in g4

[exotic berry]

All they're doing is catering to the g6 spenders...giving them the slb on a silver platter

[proper jackal]

I would also. We've estimated 3 months at the moment ourselves. But like I said. Just nice to know if there is actual maths to it

[exotic berry]

Big slap on the wrist to g5 players

With no incentive to send them to g6

[opal plover]

Again, you're underestimating how much top end spend and scopely not wanting to 'give" things to g6. they aren't inept. Just... greedy lol

[exotic berry]

And I'm not even talking about f2p

[opal plover]

I'd expect longer, though I can talk to the CMs and see

[proper jackal]

I would appreciate that, thank you :DD

[queen jolt]

IMO we are in a good step, let's see the feedback tomorrow. Take it easy tiger

[queen jolt]

I'm here rev!

[exotic berry]

They already are giving everything to g6 players. Again, scores across multiple servers show no g5 players getting anything

[opal plover]

Giving, but the leaderboards are full, which menas those players are spending. G6 are dumping thousands into these officers to unlock/max them 🙂

[queen jolt]

we talking about server 400 for Ascencion, right?

[opal plover]

Aye

[proper jackal]

Yessir

[lethal coral]

All it takes is a few whales wanting to go higher tbh. We only had a handful of 50s when we ascended 😅

[exotic berry]

Exactly...so only g6 players are even physically able to get any officer shards

G5 players don't have the physical ability to score

They are defacto excluded from participating

[opal plover]

Yes, and this is known. Don't think a 'cost analysis" wasn't done

[fathom flower]

So spend event, followed by an even bigger spend event, followed by another spend event. I get the greed, but spreading it out a little allows players to not feel like that's all you are anymore scopely. Absolutely ridiculous.

[opal plover]

every weekend there is always a SLB, so this one isn't really shocking/extra lol

[exotic berry]

Separating into 2, let alone 3 brackets would dramatically increase pack sales across all 3 brackets....

Give players the opportunity to compete. Don't lock them behind the g6 participation wall

[opal plover]

Again, you're judging this off having 0 knowledge of how pack sales are in this game. You're coming from the perspectiv eof a player.

I agree, as a player, this sucks. We've griped about it for months. talkeda bout it on state of the game.

financially, STFC has not made the move until there were enough G6 players for financial reasons. <-- they are not inept when it comes to their income

[exotic berry]

Player...who makes the rational decision on whether to spend.

How can a g5 player realistically spend in an event with zero chance of getting any shards?

Just bc they happen to buy 2 or 3 packs to keep up minimal progression is not the same as opening the spigot of actually letting them compete in their own bracket.

[lethal coral]

We ascended to g4 5 months ago, then 20 days ago we ascended to g5 😆 so just ask your whales to push for ascension and it'll happen

[fathom flower]

True but having one in the middle aka the games, stupid event set up tbh, just shows they only care about the money. As for what y'all are talking about with the brackets, they should absolutely be split. Every single other bracket is split by ops level, why would you leave G6 in with G5 and then make G6 worth 6x as much?

[broken spire]

Did they forget about Bonus Refinery?! EDIT: nvm, it’s at end of announcement.

[queen jolt]

#⭐-official-announcements message we remember

[exotic berry]

Measuring pack sales simply on pack sales basis and completely excluding player demand (you know...day 1 of economics 101) is tantamount to financial suicide

They are artificially lowering demand

[broken spire]

Oops, I missed the part of announcement. Nvm

[exotic berry]

And counting on inflated g6 sales

Instead of, you know...meeting customer demand

And benefiting from increased sales

[queen jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/i-got-chu-gif-25383349

[exotic berry]

We're trying to make them more moneu

[high vessel]

There is a reason, I'm not spending to win a officer spend event at 56, even if there was no 60s, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Especially for a pvp officer that will be replaced most likely in 6 to 12 month with little or no sourcing for it. Let the whales spend their money and keep the game alive longer.
I'm good with unlocking the officers with 2 sms's, and pve officers tend to be sourced better so we will max them eventually

[exotic berry]

They're artificially limiting their own income

[proper jackal]

Ok fingers crossed then haha

[lethal coral]

Cmon guys, remember quality over quantity. We thought it was about the content, but they meant their customers 😆

[opal plover]

except you wouldn't be... lol You won't listen to logic/those who know, so continue your rant. Good day ^_^

[fathom flower]

G6 pack sales are minimal tbh once players realize just how bad G6 content is, or that you will hit a point you almost have to spend just to repair your ships, and a single part at tier 6 is gonna cost you 400 dollars. And you will still lose to the g5 epics

[exotic berry]

And...guess what...if you give those upper g5 players their own bracket...what happens?

They hit the upper limit of g5 spend....

And they get the itch to go to g6...

So more sales!!! And increased competition in the g6 bracket...which will inherently open up the upper vs lower g6 brackets (instead of just a single)

How can scopley be so obtuse (channeling my inner Andy dufrene here)

[high vessel]

I can tell my servers SLBs that those upper 50's are still spending

[exotic berry]

Well. According to scopley, you don't exist

[opal plover]

Don't bother Necro. he clearly knows more about spending than Scopely does.

[queen jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/you-matter-to-me-kevinmcgarry-gif-24363458

[exotic berry]

Of course ppl are still spending.

But no where near the expected volumes if they had their own appropriate brackets

[queen jolt]

@high vessel

[high vessel]

I just wish the sms went back to a full unlock, so I could only do one sms a month

[exotic berry]

Except he's just proven my point...

[opal plover]

No, he hasn't. Again, you're wrong. You truly don't know what you're talking about lol. rant away.

[lethal coral]

I think it's camping that they are worried about, as it stands. Anybody in 51+ is incentivized to push all the way to high g6 , if the bracket was only up to 59, they would stop at 59 until they "fix" the new brackets that will be 61-80. And that's what they don't want , they rather squeeze what they can from the 51+ than hope the ones camping at 49 will spend enough to make up the difference.

[exotic berry]

But don't listen to hundreds of years of economics

Just look at artificially hampered pack sales and be content with that

[proper jackal]

So how will I find out the ETA on this Ascension @queen jolt once you find out 😅

[queen jolt]

I'll ping youuuuuu

[opal plover]

lol its gonna be no time soon star. hurry up and wait 😛

[proper jackal]

Thansk yoy :))))))

[exotic berry]

Keeping it at one bracket is what is causing camping.

[proper jackal]

I checked it's already been 2 months :((( I want my Corvus

[fathom flower]

They have to have G5 make up for the loss of G6 players. Many that have gotten into G6 are walking away or just stop spending entirely. I stopped spending entirely at 64. Because g6 isn't worth it as it sits right now. It reminds me of the early g4 days and I refused to spend on it back then too. It wasn't until they fixed the g4 economy that I moved past 43

[opal plover]

lol 😅

[high vessel]

Well considering there is only about 25 years of data on mobile gaming

[proper jackal]

Did you credit farm or hostile?

[opal plover]

credits 🙂

[autumn escarp]

they meant to say quantity over quality. They got confused.

[warm pivot]

as a fresh g4 player i can absolutely say, there is an incentive to push for at least ops 50, cant say anything about venturing into g5 besides the stronger ships for pvp purpose but with the mirror universe and more and easier access to trel D i`m satisfied and wont camp

[proper jackal]

Thought so. Can you do a video on prepping for G5 since that's what you're doing atm

[opal plover]

already did one few months ago

[proper jackal]

Did you? I can't find it :(((

[opal plover]

Just keep in mind, part of my process was getting a g4 epic

Will be my primary PVE ship in early G5

[fathom flower]

G5 is decent, hold at 60 till they fix G6 content

[proper jackal]

I know but my selective hearing will kick in

And ill ignore that bit :p

[opal plover]

could also "camp' at 61 just to get the sigma gennies

[exotic berry]

It doesn't take a Nobel peace prize winning economist to realize that giving people a chance at an event will increase pack sales.

Artificially excluding them from events only keeps a portion of incremental sales going.

[warm pivot]

i think that will be the case by the time i reach 50. there are many quite good benefits for g6 players in the mirror tree

[opal plover]

there are, and more MU stuff coming next week to make the space for viable/lucrative

[exotic berry]

They are limiting "competitive" pack sales to the g6 community. Instead of having 2 if not 3 brackets of competitive pack sales.

Which inherently creates a higher population in the upper bracket.

[warm pivot]

more stuff... like? 😏

https://tenor.com/view/louder-dr-max-goodwin-new-amsterdam-say-it-again-come-again-gif-14134884

[opal plover]

I'll hav ea video in about a hour, does that count? lol

[fathom flower]

Sigma is trash right now. You go to 61 and then you get the itch for the the selkie cuz it's mining speed in G5 and mirror content. Well you already went into sigma so what would it hurt to get in farther? Everything. It hurts everything

[queen jolt]

I'll take a quick break, peeps 🍔 🍻

[wet anchor]

You going to build all of them 👀

[warm pivot]

well ok, 1 hour is nice 😄

[opal plover]

as with all things, gotta have selfcontrol lol

[proper jackal]

Au revoir

[opal plover]

of course, but I'm not going to tier all of them lol

[exotic berry]

Put it a different way:

There is no way that separating the brackets would reduce pack sales.

[proper jackal]

Rev I literally can't find this video 🫠

[queen jolt]

Thought the experimental bracket was our only surprise today?

wrong reply

[exotic berry]

(Unless the officer made available is literal crap 😂)

[opal plover]

so now i can't do hints?

[autumn escarp]

No point in arguing with them, they are paid by scopely to believe in this game

[opal plover]

it's stream day!

[wraith raven]

Hey I saw you doing really well in all the XSLBs lately, good job!

[opal plover]

Scopely doesn't pay me (or any other volunteers) 🙂

[proper jackal]

Push for ascension

[exotic berry]

Anecdotal evidence 😉

[autumn escarp]

You make money off this game, correct? Thats basically getting paid by scopely.

[queen jolt]

I'll drop by once my reports are done 🍻

[opal plover]

Literaly not hte same, considering my main role is being against scopely 🙂

[gritty elk]

At the end of the day I think most folks rant is valid I think there is a degree of detriment and lack of desire to continue spending from some G5s because of the brackets but it's clear the coffers are with the G6 so as rev noted there is likely no reason scopely sees to split. Doesn't make it any less frustrating or difficult to get shards for a G5.

[exotic berry]

Ok...last question:

What evidence/possibility is there that creating 2 if not 3 brackets would reduce pack sales?

[exotic berry]

Uh...not really dude...

He's fighting to keep the game running

If anything

Scopley could easily just close up shop

[opal plover]

Bingo

[exotic berry]

And I'm totally with you on that

Even as a f2p

[autumn escarp]

yes yes keep it running by making 50's be in a bracket with 60's. Great idea.
