I have 2 ideas for the Stella efficiency bundles, could you ask the team if adding Rogue research credits is possible as that's personally my main sticking point with the loop. Secondly could you ask the team if it's possible that they'll add the Gorn Eviscerator to the event store. I would like to shave off a couple weeks from the weekly events if possible.
I dunno about Voyager. Those rare anomalies were a pain to find...
I couldnโt get rid of rares for fear of not getting enough, it was the normal ones I struggled with ๐คฃ
Gorn, mirror, waves, and xindi are all more time consuming than the old stuff
That might be tricky since Gorn is still so new. But I can ask.
Idk, getting a free insignia redeem daily if Voyager it t7+ seems really good
You donโt have to focus 100% on any of those either
Is that armada event for 50+?
Waves and mu you canโt multi-task at all
Lowered screen time for them by forcing you to spend 20 active minutes getting the stuff to lower the others. Unlike ExBorg which takes 5 minutes each day to do
Insignias are trivially easy to get, just farm faction messages
You know what lowers screen time?
That's down to RNG, I do that as well but extra sourcing is kinda nice
Tequila sunrise!
Considering I have a 7 day shield up and on vacation, my screen time is at an all time low.
Me too! But without the shield ๐คฃ
Exborg and bugs
Oh yeah ExBorg is a breeze. And one of the more popular feedback we got last month was wanting more time in the MU. But I do get where you're coming from because you have schedule 20 mins for the MU. Have you tried mining instead of grinding?
I only mine it now, still a pita spending 5 minutes flying through systems to get where I want to mine
Mining at ops 46 with maxed mining research gives me 2.5k per 20 mins - grinding gets 5k in cargo bay and 10k in loot boxes
Nope cuz I haven't got enough rep yet.
And none of the other special ships are any where near the cost of the NX in the event store.
You can buy 3 ships + change for the cost of the NX.
Big reason why people wanted more time in MU was due to the travel time required to get to trell-d systems and systems worth the grind. Extra time is nice but tbh a travel to the systems we need to go to would be better
And I only can mine it as I have a Nova and decent crew with the research ops locked. My alliance mates in the 40s can't mine it at all fast enough
But 5 is better than the full 20 right?
What miner are you using
A g4 romulan t3
One of those adjustable desk attachments?
Agreed.
loving the voy loop @ ops 36 ๐ป
Ideally the design would have been decrease time to get to MU destination vs increase time spent in the MU. One is a clear choice in lowering screen time and improving quality game play.
No one wants to go through 8 systems to then grind 15 min straight.
Not really as it's a large amount of idle flying and clicking to get where you want to go and using tokens that you guys added needlessly and limit for some unknown reason. MU is possibly my lowest involvement of grinding after the silents. And the silents I don't grind cause it's another grind to do and I'm lazy.
I suggest 10 mins in the MU with tripled loot . Best way to spend those 10 mins in.
Or 20 mins 5x the loot
So we do not care if we had to really spend a full 20 mins so no one would complain
If you could fly straight to the system you want then it wouldn't be that bad but since we have to go system by system it's a waste of time and not worth doing for me
chicken asado or barbacoa beef ? ๐ค
Barbacoa
Yeah, mining at 46 would be tricky. How The voucher/rift key sourcing in the MU refinery didn't help with that?
Happy to hear it! I liked the Voayger loop too.
I understand that people aren't happy with the traveling between systems, but Tiger designed the MU as like a dungeon. Have none of you Played older Legend of Zelda games. You can just port to the boss room the second you enter the dungeon unless you use glitches
Sure the tickets are now incrementally getting better but they still have caps and the premium vouchers to speed through to the higher systems are a pitiful drip compared to what is actually needed
Except this isn't a single person game with a final end but an ongoing game.
Also, we increased the caps of how much you can hold. And agreed, the sourcing could alwys be better, but its still a pretty great improvement.
If I wanted a dungeon crawler I'd play one instead of wanting a game to idly play when I have time to kill
somehow found a mexican takeaway on justeat [other apps are available lol ]
it seems a bit expensive for "from ยฃ16.25
Your choice of chicken asado, barbacoa beef or vegan chilli no carne burrito with your favourite toppings, tortilla chips with salsa and a drink." ๐ค
It's still an artificial limit that coupled with overall mechanics of MU space make it annoying and pointless
That better be a good burrito if the base price is 16
If that includes delivery not a bad price
Well I speak as one who lives in southern US with plenty of authentic Mexican food around
delivery = + ยฃ2.49
southern england here. i initially wanted fish and chippies, but all the good ones close on a monday night
Just watch out tiering up that ship before youโre done with itโs returns
That's probably a $10 plate where I live if I went out to eat
Bao buns here for me!
finally
it's a demanding beast. 2bn trit for the next upgrade ๐ฟ
It has all the right words to seem authentic so I'd go with either the chicken asado or barbacoa beef depending on my mood
I think getting reputation as rewards for maxed factions needs some attention too
almost as demanding as my old pilum ๐ฟ
ooof a cheeky chinese... hmmmm
And they usually close on Tuesdays so youโre good
The mu max stella exchange. For example. If anything like me most will max the rep before maxing the research.
thanks for your honesty... i've gone off the idea now. i'll happily pay and top tip for good food..... it seemed expensive
But also once the research is maxed. The point of the stella thereafter really?
ooooh cheezus
Man now I want some fajitas
maybe i shouldn't be such a lazy queen.... the corner shop is only 800 metres away
@heady moon could you ask the team if they are willing to add Rogue research credits into the Stella efficiency bundles in Exborg and MU. Yes the MU one gives Rogue credits but they should also give the research credits as well to really help with the loop
I mean if it is a good plate I'd spend that much for it every so often
if only there were exborgs for lower levels.... . grinding hirogen is going to be a pain in the bottom ๐ , also upgrading the disco - new servers are being rushed, but no easy way to upgrade, let alone unlock summoning without spending thousands? [which is almost impossible to do, even for spenders - limit x 1 on both IAP's ]
Congrats!
Whoa, do not spend thousands on your disco.
Its just a grind is all. It does not take too long to do. Just do whatever loop there is and reign in the parts from the refinery daily.
New territory capture season inbound. Good opportunity to add some qol life stuff thats being asked for and has been since early days.
Still no response to a ticket, how hard can it be when scopely tooltips are wrong to resolve it.....
My expectation is not that ๐
It takes a year to max it to t9 and then a few more months for the research
for all other servers yes, but our instance has been accelerated. some things are out of whack
Merged?
the problem with the loot scaling is that it seems to go from a very slow grind to a breeze depending on your ops
even the SDC's are overpriced in the event store......
That doesn't seem accelerated
More rushed with added spending.
last time around it took about 1yr 4months
Did you get a response? ๐
Not sure most of us have 2k to spend let alone in 7 months
and 2.5 yrs prior
About normal tbh, think thatโs how long I took as battle pass only
But thats not comparable
If the whole territory is pretty much free what territory gives best buffs and is best overall ?
The game has evolved plus you have done it twice previously
the economy has been improved thank goodness
i've been playing for 6yrs 3 months lol
Ya if Iโd played previously coulda def gone faster
I would expect you to progress very quickly on a 3rd play through though
i've done it a few more times than that ๐
But this is kind of the issues a lot of the player base face. you are not a good example of a new player experience
i know the game like the back of my hand...... do you suggest it would be worse for others ? ๐ค
It depends what sort of alliance & server you are?
If you are farmville you'll want mining buffs, if pve hull or officer buffs & pvp there's some station attack & pvp weapon buffs too
And scopely seems to test everything on the players who know the shortcuts, know which bugs exist and how to counter them etc
Or blocked you lol
both are possible lol
I disagree. You sacrifice progress in the new loop by spending the currency on old stuff. For me that it not a nice solution to reduce game time.
It's a horrible compromise.
I was just hoping for some MU speedups since atm it's a grind that takes way too ong
One outcome i prefer
Or the weirdos that only like Vegemite
Just chilling, arenโt you @regal ruin
i wont comment lol ... dont fancy another mute ๐ ๐น
The rest of us might ๐
oooof moooooooooooooooooooooooo !
Either that or i am just very childish ๐คท
Definitely not speeding that one up without some good lubricants
lol some lewb ? lol
Just the Cunning analysis research
Missing the ysis in the queue ๐คฃ
This is the most excitement in todays game for me
I was able to get to 1st on the armada event. Made my month. Probably won't stay there though lol
There's not even 63 people on my board lol
fish and chips ๐
Curry Goat, Jerk chicken off the bone, served with Jollof rice with a side of plantain and coleslaw ๐
Curried goat is awesome
Possibly, later today but more likely tomorrow. Should be in time before the Syndicate event ends.
Fnarr fnarr ๐
If you have ever had the pleasure of looking after goats, they taste better too
Alrighty, thank you
order notes.... english dude -- please dont make it too hot/spicy ๐ ๐น
๐ฉ to another G5+G6 SLB.
Snap
thank goodness i've got 2 bags of kitty litter ready LMAO
I find rabbit fur softer for wiping tbh
Less scrstchy
I get where you're coming from, but I'd still rather see efficiencies added even if they do use some of the new currency. XB is the same, and I still think it some of the best content we've put out.
Mirror content?
i'd love to get back to ops 48, but dont want to miss key ships/officers/research. Scopely also want the lower levels to progress......surely they can meet us in the middle ? ๐ค
why does it have to be a choice? if you truly want to reduce the time spent on those old loops just give old currency in the new redeems.
So turn in holodeck and get a bunch of old stuff, turn in for new officers, get a bunch of old stuff.
I honestly could not tell you a single thing about the mu in the game tbh
Not read a single line of any of it ๐คฃ
maybe thats a good thing? give them time to work out what scopely and the players really want it to be ?
Oo 69 now baby
๐ฑ ๐ nearest naughty step
I still 1st. Probably confusing my bracket. Keep jumping my score by 1B every 5minutes lol.
I'll run out of directives in 30 mins lmao
I was kinda hoping thats what most of my bracket would do
Top 7 are 1 trillion plus currently now
Totally get what you're saying, but you're getting a solid amount of old currency in exchange for a little Trel D. 1M rare anomalies, and 100 comerce insignias is pretty helpful. Not everyone needs those three effiencies, but I like that players have a choice to use their trel d there if they want.
That's the next new prime coming next week ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I'm at 15.6B lol.
Tbf to oh on this he's mostly right
52 billion
Beginning to think the only way to win this game is to uninstall
Just from carrying alliance members in lower brackets
Itโs a slot machine skinned as a gameโฆโthe only winning move is not to playโโฆ
Pretty much, yep. Thatโs what this player base looks like, lolโฆ
71
I see my grandpa
Or do what Savvy did....buy the slot machine
Everyday around 11pm EST ๐
British so asleep by then lol
(Thats normally when the lag kicks in and makes the game unplayable)
๐ค๐๐ค
SCOPLEY
WHY, are people who are ops 50 in the same SLB for armada damage as me?
its a little unfair to have 50s compete against a 70?!
Think you need to maybe fix this?
Umโฆthe current state of things is the fix, lol?
Itโs by designโฆthereโs nothing to fix.
Been there done that. xD
Sadly most of us couldn't even if we wanted to.
Flawed before it starts ๐คฃ
The scopely motto
Ohh im in debt to the back for rest of my life now, dont you worry hahah
@heady moon Any update to the mismatch between the MU refinery research tooltip and refinery impact pelase?
The update is there's no update
There is no channel or anything that lists known bugs/issues with a response time/expectations etc is there?
I'm framing this and putting it up on my wall!
Will cost you though. Lol
Mental state or money?
Yes to both
Who has any mental state of value here
Totally both.
Make
Highjacked ship's scrap able, and
just make them Skin's
Asap ..
My Wife,
But she doesnt play the game, so i think i know why she has some
That's a pretty good idea...
Won't ever happen then lol
You need to do that thing where you suggest it in a way that they think they suggested it ๐ง
Suggestions are a paid prime, with unlimited levels,
Each suggestion is one level of the prime.
Price starts at 19.99 49.99 then end on a 99.99 but for a first time bonus if you buy this prime we will also give you 100k lat
Early bird special. All 3 levels for 199
but, its bugged and you only get 1
Even better
When are the next server merges happening?
I was thinking pretty soon. There should be an announcement coming in the next week or so. I'll see if I can push it forward.
Can we merge with s69 please ๐
I don't really have a say in which servers merge.
Figured there would be some happening.. server 31 needs merge.. high player count but lots of dead alts and whatnot
Find the most powerful, angriest server with the biggest whales and merge with 168 pls!
My wife says that sort of thing about my spending habits, reality is she knows if she wants me not to buy something she knows how to make that happen.
US biggest whale server is probably either 31 or 26
After all my server is 1st in power so
Itโs why I only have 7 bikes. My 8th and 9th are on their way ๐ฌ
so how is everyone feeling about the second MU arc?
ooof
I think its pretty solid! Thanks for asking!
i've already sent myself to the naughtty step
One time at jazz flute camp...
I thought it was crowded here
with only the best ๐ ๐
seems like a fair question with the arc going for a week or so at this point
African food turned into + Double BBQ Bacon & Maple Cheeseburger with Creamy Ranch Loaded Fries
Give it a couple of days and the new tc season will make the mu arc look even better
There's been so little said about it i have an eery foreboding sense of dread
4/5 TC haven't won anything..
even better implies it looks good in the first place and while I don't detest it quite as much as the xindi arc I still dislike it due to the time needed and the tooltip issue causing me issues
I was trying to not crush oh too much tbh
He seems to have a soft spot for the mu
And i want some tc 3 info now lol
Great job to do ops 51-70 in the same deal damage SLB bracket!
51 -70
that's not quite right, I'm ops 53 and I'm grouped in there too so 51-70
Why is the 6 next to 5 on the keyboard
are there that many in that player segment on your instance to justify splitting it ? ๐ค
Another pale excuse for an ''event''
Because 789
Just 30 61+
๐น
What's the point in trying to compete against players 12 levels above
Probably wont get to use that punch line again this year
Need a bad joke bingo card
mmmmmm ๐ ๐ฅ ๐
I'm sure there are some out there that have already spent a ยฃ1000 on Dir packs
ooof this is filthy
Don't get food out of dumpsters
@thorn narwhal you mean... This month..? ๐๐
๐ or since reset 
๐
Did you put a maple leaf into your bacon cheeseburger? That's hardcore
Wondering what a maple leaf tastes like now though
Different colour different flavour?
wheres our resident canadian when we need him ? ๐ค ๐น
I'm not a Canadian but I stayed at a residence inn recently...
Tasting maple leafs to answer hopefully
In Japan deep fried maple leaves has a very long history and a few years ago I created a Canadian version. Many trees have edible leaves so why not transform them into deep fried treats!
- Red Maple (identification, trunk/bark, branches/twigs, height, leaves, flowers, fruit, habitat & edible parts): https://www.ediblewildfood.com/red-maple.aspx...
omfg ๐ฎ
maybe i'm~~ not as~~less stupid ~~as ~~ than i make out to be ? ๐ hahaha
I know the history... someone was deep frying outdoors during autumn... ๐
Winter and prewinter
In Canada?
Meh Canada's not all bad
You can leave?
Holy ๐ฉ it's too cold outside
And
Holy ๐ฉ it's too hot outside.
north bay seems lovely, my uncle and family are always posting pics on fb
Isnt the majority of the population on the border though
my canadian cousins played ice hockey.... their sons/daughter are following in their tracks
Fingers crossed ๐ค๐ผ ๐ค 115..
Because its so cold the tracks never melt
Iโm currently doing โholy ๐ฉ itโs the perfect temperature for a splendid alcoholic beverageโ
115 merge with 168 and Iโm reactivating my old account
cousin mark played for the sudbury wolves i think....not sure who they are
Well thats just ruined any hope
@heady moon thank you for fighting for a lag chest.
is there a list of instance mergers? ๐ค
Yeah but this is scopely. They cant be seen to doing it to please players
That ship sailed a long time ago
Into the centre of sun as it became a black hole
would anyone want to merge servers? a lot are quite "cushty"..... i guess the pvp arena instance thingy on the roadmap will be happening soon ๐
I think it gets to a point where you need an influx of players though whether you like it or not
And the only real option is mergers now
it must be bloody difficult for them to match servers
they're ultimately overseeing the players [ a human being with thoughts and emotions/needs]
didnt one have 3 and still dead as a dodo?
thank god my autocorrect didnt kick in then ๐
Probably
I want to say the server that merged with ours had already had a merge prior
But i didn't listen that much tbh
i wonder what their grand scheme is with the new servers? ๐ค i raided 5 big bases and i'm now in the top 48 for rss raided on the instance
Cut costs
tbh its getting rather boring.
if they really wanted to do that, they'd splice new players onto the old instances
do you not have any "retrieving" to do ? ๐
Then those players would just quit as soon as they reached a level that the 70s could hit them. Those servers are likely dead for a reason
That ^
Iโm guessing the top 25ish players on them are toxic dbags
why not change the pvp levels on those instances? surely anything is better than how it is
pvp arena around the corner ....
I think a lot of games make the most money on turn over of new players
Because then the top 25 on them that are still buying stupid things would get mad
scopely do lol
Sure, but my pocket is too busy memeing
Create a fresh server. Fill it with new people. Fleece as many as you can then any remaining longer term merge into an older server
but if they had a pvp arena with lucrative rewards which meant they leave the littleun's alone ?
Repeat
Depends, Iโm sure there are quite a few ops locked people that are still spending 5 figures a month
WAIT WAIT WAIT why is only one ship scoring when you do solos?
Definitely
Because their coders are bad at their jobs
solomada?
Its a juggling act. Do enough to keep existing players spending whilst recruiting new players
So I got 20M points for 8 51 shipyards which have 1B hull
Super awesome fun time coding
surely it should just be the ship which initiates the armada that scores? ๐ค
No
Early days of a game. Player retention
It should be all of them
level 60 jem'Hadar - 3 ships 200-300mil points 1 ship 10B+
Established games. New Player turnover
The mada slb doesnโt say, โone ship only scoringโ it says dmg done to madas
Theyโre just utter garbage at coding
solos have always scored that way for armada damage events unfortunately
oooh cheezus, i'm sounding like a shill again.
Then they should stop running them
If they canโt competently do their jobs then get rid of the events they fail to code properly
Then people would moan they not included lol
what if players have no directives and cant start solo's? the ones who have could out gun them 6x on the slb's
I am not sure how they code so poorly. We have armada events where you get points based on lvl killed
@heady moon are you guys going to say anything about the scoring issues?
Surely they can just recode the event to treat solos that way
Group ones on ship dmg
Its all there in the code already
not sure if it was oldman or leela who said "the things which seem the most simple, are the most difficult to achieve". it might have been ray
Only if you employ the wrong people
i'm sure they'd love to change things, but they're just subordinates. do xyz in abc time ๐ฆ
Its more the constant turnover of staff i think
it must be tough for them
i get the feeling theres a lot of "square peg, round hole" involved in the system
too big a square peg and it wont fit without utterly breaking stuff
But more than that
so the compromise is smaller pegs that fit in the round holes
continually adding things to a game which was designed pre-2018
Round hole made of one material, square peg made from something else
Trust me, I'm a software engineer lol
at my level, i get to use a very large hammer to make it fit
Creator of square peg no idea how to make round hole square
Round hole creator no longer exists
Dremel tool to make the hole bigger, then a hammer to shove it in the rest of the way.
When the ideal solution is to find a round peg creator
or a bit of lewb ! ๐น
i only realised a few days ago his playername. i thought it was pronounced like lew-b not lewb ๐
Its the old rave to the top of the tree scenario. Designed for monkeys. But they have an elephant so instead of climbing the tree they push it over. Essentially the same end point but the route is completely different. Then they employ a fish to continue.
Rave/race. Really makes no difference lol
All ends up in chaotic effluent
kobiashi maru for staff and players? ๐ค
That had logic
does anyone remember the gold mission story line? ๐ค
Did it follow the silver mission
the maiai/vesta missions that you do with ops upgrades/building upgrades etc
snap... 14th time over ๐
Very rarely i end up googling to move on a step as i paid no attention and have no idea what i should be doing
But can count on one hand how many times thats occured
it's a shame really. imho it would add a sense of accomplishment
Would it
more so than just click , kill xyz move to here.... ooops return to station
๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
i literally dont have a clue what the mission story line was to get me to ops 38, let alone 48
Go here. Go there. Kill 12 hostiles. Go home.
Every mission
And 99/100 the whole server is doing the exact same steps simultaneously
I have even cleared every holodeck mission now
What are the syndicate "nodes" the announcements mentioned
= spend money
Not done it so not 100% which ones or where etc
maybe they could expand on the lore re: "seeking out new worlds" ? god knows how they'd do it with the backend as it is
If you paid for extra syndicate xp research expect a comp chest this week probably
If they made missions little comic book type videos to complete i might actually pay attention
with bex ? ๐ ๐น ๐น
Not even if she was naked
something more than visual?
The scoring issue...?
Rather than clicking text and having to warp and wait etc. just have all those text boxes with images autoplay in sequence over a 3 minute thingvetc
So we can just sit and watch
Like a proper cutscene
Solos are only scoring your smallest ship
Been so long forgot the term lol
Yup! Look into it!
thanks get way more points using one ship than using 3 ships
Then just use 1 ship. Problem solved.
I laughed way too hard then
requires a lot more repairs and a lot less loot
You'll probably get more loot only using 1 ship too if you crew properly.
@humble orbit any word when territory will reset given the territory battlepass is ending?
Pinged you!
Will reset right before the next battle pass starts and after the current battle pass ends.
That going to do anything for the rest of us?
Any date on the new battlepass?
I wasted 8 shipyards to get 20M points instead of the 16B in damage I did
Mind also asking them to FINALLY split ops 51-70 into some seperate brackets please?
Trying to investigate this issue. Pinged you for more info.
?
Ya got nothing here too
Wtf is this for real? Why would it score only the smaller ship? I did thing it was weird I was scoring low
Dunno but had alliance mate test it, voyager dmg if 7M scored, without voyager he was getting. 4-6B per shipyard
Did you see my ping about more info? I"m asking for your battle logs from the last armada that the lowest ship scored.
yeah the scoring is messed up, a lot of reports in my AC as well
No I have no PM from you, last one DM was 13 hours ago. Hereโs my hits. 8 1B Hull shipyards.
I gained sub 3M points on each because only Voyager scored
iso: more sigma speed ups
Start farming
Great, I wasted a ton of armadas and an exo
Wasted 8/10 of my shipyards personally. Gonna cripple me in the SLB
I thought I was going great punching up again
the armada scoring issue will not be fixed. we have had this problem the last time scopley ran it. the final decision was thar since it effected everyone the score stands and nothing changes.
I wasted both shipyard and borg
I thought shipyard was just a lower score
this has been a thing since solos were a thing
Then perhaps they should stop being incompetent at their jobs?
Novel idea I suppose
why would they. they still get paid by players even when they mess up
Bet if 5-6 whales got hosed by it theyโd fix it
It doesn't affect everyone the same for sure
I have a 158mil Vorcha and a 40mil Talios
How much time and rss did I just waste?
Your borgs probably scored ok since the tally was the lowest power ship
Seriously, idk why we still play this game, it's all borked
The shipyards are the most heavily impacted if your 3rd ship is lower than your monaveen
it effects everyone the same smallest ship scores. your powers maybe diffrent but it still your lowest ship.
I imagine many are just running shipyards with 1 ship
My alliance members are now
60s were were worth 20b with loot crew, 30-60b with armada crews
using just one monaveen
yeah since the mona does all rhe damage
Because your overflow shots are trash with loot crew vs iso cascade crew
score wont matter on crew since its based on hull of the aramda. only thing is burn will reduce your score since burn isnt hull damage
does overkill count?
Yes
So iso cascade crew will stack dmg the last round whereas a loot crew will have minimal overflow
If you kill it at the end of a round vs the start of the next youโll also get less points
Omg, it's absurd
I feel like I've burned through armadas for absolutely no reason, I hate this game
Womp womp
Didnโt realize a 53 would do so much more dmg vs a borg solo than the tally
All the FKR research
It's a very small Tali
Is it maxed for your ops?
Absolutely not, not even close
It's impossible to do all the grinds in this game and quality over quantity seems is translating in "we added more grinds, so you can get different loot from those grinds"
My tally is a little under 1/2 my Pilums power
Seriously, I'm not running anymore, this is ridiculous
I wasted time and rss
Guessing it will be about equal in dmg which means Iโll get a little under half the points I should
And they add an option to reduce a grind by 5 minutes, assuming you slow your progress of the new loop, while adding 10-20 minutes of new daily grinds....
Is it normal for ops 55 regular ticketed events to have 5*epic crystal but no epic on the ore or gas?
Exactly, all the grinds they reduced were already short
And I Bet you that we will get
Incursion,
And we won't have directives to use Loot crates..
been like that for a while, haven't seen any follow up on it
I just went ops55, was hoping to get epic gas for my voyager final tier
I've done 12 solos, monaveen + voyager + nx. My score didn't change, I thought it's the usual points delay. If I have only monaveen in the solo, then I get all the points.
Are you gonna give us the points before the event ends?
Sadly most Crates are pot luck thought you meant Armada's ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
Of course they aren't gonna give any points
Best case scenario we get a "it's by design"
By design, the points are credited later, beucause of server lag and stuff like that. Not that I spend time to do 12 armadas and I score zero
They won't correct it so anybody who didn't know about this issue early enough has no chance to place unless they're one of the strongest players on their server
Sorry, trying to catch up on the Attack Patter: Alpha Omega SLB thread: regarding Solos, are we not getting credit for scoring the damage as it should? Seems very low compared to the actual damage. What's the 'bug' there?
Hit shipyards
Also if you have multiple ships it it only gives you the damage for the ship that did the most damage... Been like that for a long time
if you bring more ships to solomada, only the damage of the one with least power counts for event
same bug as a year ago ๐
Yeah something like that
Sounds like solos are neutered then, in a way? LOL
Just use 1 ship.
Your lowest ship is the one scoring
How would I know there is such a well known bug? I've done 12 armadas like this:
Guess which ship counted...
Did the same thing
voy
When monaveen was lowest power ship I got nearly dull pts, when I pushed up to 51s and my 3rd became voyager I got almost no pts
Alliance member tested with his voyager, same thing
yeah, automated shipyards are the worst/best for this, depending on whether monaveen is the least powerful ship of the three, as it does most of damage ๐
If you only use 1 ship that means you'll have to target much smaller armada, so kinda like I said - neutered, in a way ๐
I get 24b damage on a shipyard..
Nah, youโll just have to make more trips
Monaveen is doing virtually all your dmg
I love the it's broken, you should have known vibe.
Everyone is so used to a subpar product that no one complains anymore
Not necessarily. I was doing 44 monaveens with 3 ships and just found out I can do them with 1.
I am always using the nx and the voyager when doing shipyard, so they carry the loot.
Youโll just need to repair and drop off cargo more often
people are complaining enough, in a channels where is matters, here we explain ๐
Isn't that scopely's #1 M.O? More often?
Thanks for explaining, where do I report the issue though? Support again? Haven't gotten an answer about yesterday's bug, where rifts were broken. Cool stuff after you use the vouchers, you have max fort and cerritos
what truly amazes me is that they haven't fixed it in a year(!!) and ran the exact same event it broke ๐
I bet we will have a not apologetic announcement saying it's ok and we should have known, but they will gracefully give some armada directives
Then if you spent the equivalent of 20 armadas, you get 2 like everyone else
I forgot you can't have two madas going without buying a prime ๐
It also leads to totally wrong conclusions. I tests on the of the lvl 60 borg solos, the defiant was in just for a random test. I've seen they only give 140M points, I abandoned. (of course, as I understand, only the defiant counted, not the sanctus or the tally. And the defiant has zero bonus against borg solos)
Well I'm glad I never really try with armada SLBs, maybe I'd run my solos today if the event wasn't bugged. Although a lot of problems have seemingly risen after the Redis Labs thing a couple weeks ago
26b points..
Whatever you need at the time, they wont contain it ๐คฃ
I'm hitting those inbetween shipyard spawns since i have someone else trying to race me to shipyards
I mean I have 40k directives
Now do it with a Voyager and enjoy 10M points
Why would i break my points
Not even been playing an hr
Lovely to see scopely put the ops 61+ in my bracket again ๐
well when you have lvl 70's in your bracket,,,
lol, that score would net you exactly the same position on my server atm, zero incentive to participate for me as ops 53
When do they ever think anything through
also our 70 has 30 bil points already, you have lazy ones ๐
And all for 24k of event currency. Just buy the currency pack and save lots of time
Except how to use psychology to get you to buy packs...
I have ops 70 in my bracket, I ran a ton of armadas. I feel absolutely defeated
Throw money in the broken game, that will give them motivation to fix it
Low spenders and ftp don't deserve loot anyways, right?
I never expect to win any slb.. I was in first of the loot slb till an hr before it ended.. I love how scopely puts that bull๐ฉ on monday when people who work can't do nothing to stop the bots from passing them
In scopely mind free to play are only good for selling their data.. other than that... They don't exist
I managed 4th place and 3 milestones this time. My highest so far as F2P, was quite chuffed
Are you alone on the server? Or one of the only 5 lvl 30-39 on the server?
That is a completely fair fight
We all suffer from Stockholm syndrome, that's the only possible reason we don't leave this game
Ships are still in the same bracket and to be honest. The 50 probably only have G4 rare ships that you can get as well.
What's slb stand for again? Is it... Sooooo .... LETS BUY!
Try have 500m powered ship and a 13b powered cube.... Just saying.
Indeed, and most of the real spenders are by now way in the upper 50s/60s so I don't have to worry about them ๐คญ
These events should reasonably be like 2-4 ops range at max. Or, God forbid... match it to available ship quality...
But honestly the more I see from G5 players, the more I think I should just camp out in G4 for a good long while
You don't have to be a big spender to be in the upper 50's... there is a free to play player higher ops than me.. and I am 57
I don't think there's a single F2P player that high on ours
No more than a handful, if any
It's possible if you focus on pushing ops.. Research can be caught up later very easily..
Totally what I do: I push ops, work on efficiencies first, then catch up on research when I get stuck for lack of mats
If you're not a big spender your nonexistent in pvp anyway.. No point camping. You get more materials the higher ops you go
Just my two cents
I wish it was that fair for me
If a g6 can hit you, you're useless in pvp
Why camp?
If you are 53 it is much worse in the power swing
To not get destroyed in events
My point exactly
also the whale cubes are bigger here, yeah
Events. Pvp is largely a waste of time
A G6 spender is gonna beat you even if you donโt camp
I like pvp.. Pick your battles...
PVP in this game is utter trash unless you spend 5-6 figures
There's not a whole lot of it on my server anyway
Whale cubes are maxed around here. I'm a 54 competing in a bracket all the way to 70, it's useless.
Besides incursions, territory reset and the occasional war everyone just plays farmville and minds their own business
My server has war mongers ... That like to only hit miners and turtle in their base. Buncha pansies
Just kills me how much they push for war and then hide...
Would you prefer they pushed for war and then beat your alliance to destruction? Boy, I have the server for you ๐
We just have one adorable ops 38 who goes around attacking our smaller members when someone kills him OPC, then runs to his ops 50+ buddies when he's caught
It's kinda funny
We have a guy that canโt crew and is now chat banned that is a nutter
That's the power difference between alliances. May the odds be ever in your favour if you decide to fight the whales.
I feel like every server has an alliance called Borg except mine
Mine doesn't
Oh, diplo is resetting tomorrow, the whales think less allies will prepare the other alliances for incursions.
Everyone will be neutral and the beatings will continue until morale improves.
We're 14 losses to 3 wins rn lol
So I'm curious, anyone know what the criteria is for server mergers, and when a server should start to be concerned about one?
But, the difference between our top 4/5 alliances isn't as big as that
I think we have 2 or 3 wins.. We suck at incursions
I don't see how the small alliances getting a beating will change the results, but let's goooooo
People have gotten to comfortable with territory
Territory is more boring than it should be. Largely because the biggest alliances just make deals, ally each other and the rest can pick the scraps
I think ive seem a Territory fight between two top alliances maybe once or twice in the past year
Is Toy on your server?
Crashes too much on non-pcs to even make it worth it
And most are mid-day when a lot of bigger players are working
Our big players seem to always be online tbh ๐คฃ
Nope
Guess you got a bunch of old retired guys or trust fund babies lol
But its true, even 1v1 battles between medium sized alliances can be atrocious
Our bighest whale is like 1-2 hours a day at night
Ships getting stuck, lag, combat lasting 30 seconds
Or my personal favourite, where the game literally doesn't let you select the system anymore
Thought the alliance name looked familiar. Might have it mixed up lol.
Woot... 100k More Creditsfor the ent D
Are you trying to tell me... A level 39 base can't fend off a level 60.. How dare you sir ๐คฃ
- those are guidelines. 2. has nothing to do with it
it has everything to do with it. how can you preach fair play and then completely do the opposite
Fair play means you are not hacking to get an advantage..
this is on the website. You can't hold your customers to a different standard. Scopoly should be exceeding expectations around fair play..
instead it's a case of 'meh, we'll put lv52 with limited travel, up against 60+ in an armada damage event.... cos yeah, THAT"S FAIR FOR ALL..
It actually is fair play... You are afforded the same opportunities as everyone else.. Not like someone hacking to get an edge
I like to hack the game with my AMEX
While the slb level ranges are a problem, preaching about fair play does not cover it.
I get a warning for saying beaches... This discord is funny..
Sand be crazy like that.
yes it does... of course it does... those 60+ naturally will cause more damage.. and more often tthan not will be part of the armadas that those in the 50's do...
so, at which point is this FAIR PLAY
Your conflating your own idea of what is fair play with what it actually means. Xindi covered it.
Like I said, the brackets need work, but fair play has nothing to do with it.
soo... you're saying that an nx01 who's can just get to an lv60 xindii.. will cause more damage than a lv70 ent-e?
Maybe... The G6 ships are garbage... Now if you meantioned a borg cube that would be something different
My sanctus gets almost as much damage as a 3b powered akira
Or how ever it is spelled
so you're not a lv52 then? this is my issue - whilst i'm higher, i see how this basic attention to detail has put a large % of players right across all servers in an unfair position
That group is sadly very much used to it at this point
Oof ... that thing can survive a death beam...
Is that the rare or the UC?
Ha, that is a player ship
Idk the rarity of it. I can't see G6 ships
Think rare
I know. Is it the G6 uc or rare klingon?
Guessing uc, the ktinga/vorcha upgrade.
Uncommon I guess lol
I just noticed it's a Battleship lol. Makes sense now.
Wonder how cheapspensive it is
I wonder if the rss counters turn to Q when you go past 999T
the shield HP display does
I want to see a base with 1q Par in it.
I think I've seen that
could use that piggybank right now
Incursions is coming up, I'd prefer to be poor for that.
Ok now 1q Trit
๐
No no, 1q T and in my base
Go for the full monty. 1q Dil
Since it's Qd after T I'm assuming it'll be Qu after Qd.
Probably Qt.
When a Klingon Ship and a romulan ship had a child.. LoL ๐ ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Wonder what the amalgam scoops would be like on that
G6 is going to be a disappointing time for ship aesthetics. Not fan of the first two klingon ships.
I like what I've seen of the Rom ships.
Rom's are sexy
G4 on I think the Romulans have the best ships.
well minerva is nice, velox is boring, scimitar is goat
Yeah, it's probably back to roms for G6.
Scimitar needs that gold skin, the base paint job on it is pretty boring.
The Divitae looks pretty cool imo
The best miner and fed ship.
Do we have a date for war room this month? Or is it starting during the week of incursions?
Thank you! Was that posted anywhere? I looked everywhere!
#โญ-official-announcements message for the war room, the wave pass is in game news
I can't wait till I get one! But its going to be a while!
๐ฅบ Obviously i cannot read! Lol thank you again!
Turning away from team green? ๐ฑ
Shhhh! Never!
But I do moonlight withe the Feds from time to time...
Anyone able to get on? My game is stuck on loading 76%
I was stuck for a bit but got back in
if on a phone, try turning on airplane mode and then reconnecting to the network
if on pc, try resetting your router
Is there supposed to be a quantum Armada event right now?
Don't think so.
Okay, I was checking brackets on stfc.space for the SLB, and saw there's supposed to be a heroic SMS too.
That's a special event for syndicate finishers. They get it in lieu of the one the rest of us get.
Need to be able to kick people out of armadas.
If youโre a commodore you kinda can
2 months ago but saw this on another server
I told you what would happen if you sent Chen to one more armada, Gary
People sending normal ships to Exarms.....why people why
Question: does the armada damage event still only count 1 ship in solo armadas? or was that fixed?
only counts 1 ship
Won't get fixed this run. Maybe on the next one.
won't ever be fixed... been like this for over 6 months
Sounds about right lol.
Boot them from the alliance.
If I could I would lol
What's the trick to get the most pts for this armada event?
Apparently it's not NX-01 in Xindi Armadas ๐ฆ
nx doesn't work on xindi armadas anyway
though xindi armadas will be the most points
not sustainable due to the sourcing
so solos with one ship and solo 60 group armadas will do it
formation armadas will be up there too
solo that is
No clue but super boost of Cerritos defiant titan and exo gave me 3 g5 madas back to back.
Solos it seems. Not sure which ones. But def solos. Biggest scorers in most of our top brackets all killing it with solos. Too bored to try any myself...
I'm killing Texas solos and getting a lot of points.
I kinda wanna see its description
Looks to me like a Helios or Malachowski Class ship with Sagan-esque nacelles
Can anyone tell me at what level of Freebooter hostile uncommon Ex-Borg loot drops??
Is tomorrow a TC reset?
no
Ok thanks because the countdown says 12 hours
end of the battlepass, not reset
reset usually comes a week or so after the pass ends, and they will announce it ahead of time
Oh ok I saw seasonal TC ending
technically theyve already anounced the reset but only to whales
Thanks
Ex borg loot? Hmm....
none do not even the top ones at 60 but you can get nova bps and 1 day speedups from the lvl 60 freebooters
haahhahahahaha to the whales
now how does that calculate if everyone has it? lol
says it stacks, but also says 2, very descriptive
It apparently allows 2 additional hostiles to hit the base
And stacks per player so upto 10 additional, and someone said the base amount is 20 hostiles
if it's 20, why does it seem like the surveys tear a bigger chunk out?
because surveys arent just pew pew since they have cargo containers ?filled with exsplosives? which is their entire damage dealt
sailing beside HMS Mastercard
No. Seriously. When was this star trek?
It stopped being anywhere close to star trek when they put things behind pay walls and f2p lost access to content. Back when you could literally get everything through the grind it was much closer
I mean... Despite it all... I still like Star Trek
But this may be my last day
The troll patrol, anti pineapple people, and duck haters may have won.
Scopley had a hand in it too...
I hereby RENOUNCE STFC
But will stop playing at my leisure ๐
There are still good people that play this game, right?
Hi all
YouTube doesn't allow you to thumbs down ๐ a sponsored ad!?
Who sponsors chasing waterfalls by tlc?
Walgreens
๐๐๐
It has a counter now
iยดm really torn between locutus and spock for my 3rd fc slot... spock for sure will be great on the final stage for his efficiencies... but for that you gotta be ops 50 minimum... so should i invest into locutus instead for better armadaperformance?
can`t find an answer honestly... the other 2 slots of course are kirk n sloan
Unless running armadas, i'd keep spock on there, for the efficiencies with research and buildings, kick myself everytime i do a batch of upgrades and forget to put him on deck
Bunch of mining boosts, protected cargo, hostile damage
of course i use the timesafers already, but didn`t do much more ^^
i would take the maximum cargo if only it affected every ship and not just surveys
and the mining boni... got no problem with tripple pulling g4 already
dont even know if the defense options for platforms is good...
storage capacity clearly is garbage and extra damage against hostiles are weak in %
he is just an efficiency research, not useful for much else
200% hostile damage and 409% armor piercing aint bad
got 1 level ready and then need 1200 more quantums for 50
to unlock the other stuff
and then an even slower drudge for the rest
that one? yeah
watch, just leveled a bunch of stuff, and there will be a fc event
was surprised that reaching kira sms milestones gave premium advances as well this time instead of just completing
Your sacrifice is appreciated
What did you do the rss storage skills for ๐
research daily
lol
why they're not finished, only put a point in each a day because at the time the others were locked
Iโm actually considering seven for these three skills
haven't done much with seven yet
once i hit 40 in syndicate, i'll probably put her on deck
oh xindis are worth a nice chunk of points
ran 3 60s, 1t points
Most of my mining these days is iso
about to see what some rares are worth
Yeah the xindis are huge, I think the biggest, but limited directives
yeah had 2 to start myself, my guy had 3, then he was like "gonna make 1st place sweat, /grabs a rare pack"
lol
he's an ally, but we always neck and neck
Iโd need to work hard to even place
Top one is our 70
taking over all kinds of events
@heady moon why as an ops 56 am i in the same bracket in the armada damage as g6 players. In group armadas like xindi which give thr most points they out damage me and can ofc shoot way bigger as well. It makes the slb impossible to compete in. It bad enough vs players with epic g5 ships. This event would be better as an heoric sms. We still do the same armadas but it wont matter im a group armada if your out damaged.
can someone give me that list of primes which takes dolamine?
Will there be a downtime when they reset territory today?
ty
Someone in my server is claiming something about rev and me and I don't understand it.
307b off a 60 rare
my guy got 548b with his 5b cube
smh, give me rottaran bps after i build it
standard
might have to grab that 7.9b weekly rep pack so i can build an ent d
grinding out the rep fro klingon and rom to 15b was such a chore
need 10b for the fed lock
5t points, and in 3rd now, woo
probably won't last
Not finishing in 2nd because they canโt accurately code solos is going to be super awesome
I'll take those bps if you don't want em
Our 70 ๐
Hello. Noob here. How do I disband an alliance I created?
1st, kick everyone in the alliance until only you as admiral are left
2nd, go into you alliance options as in the picture
Thanks!
Tell them they are useless then kick them
Can you show us how in a video? I'm not getting the core concept.... ๐
i`m amazed about your ability to read if you are asking for an educational video ^^
trust me, sometimes a picture is easier than wasting 10 minutes explaining... coming from it support it is the first thing you learn... how to create ikea step by step picture book
even better if you can animate and create glowing features to guide their sight to the right button xD
Sorry you confused me again talking about stylish Scandinavian economical furniture... show us how to kick out everyone from an alliance and disband it... we all wanna see the video. ๐
Touchรฉe... can't even post my smokey gif... cus of the "rules"
Some guy made an outfit out of the ikea shopping bags and... now they're gifs... bet you can't find em ๐
sometimes it is better to not look for things strangers tell you on the internet ^^
Like Kelloggs raspberry waffles, or at least not anything about their colour
the famous blue ones, yeah
I still canโt believe they thought it was a good idea, but who knows, marketing people arenโt always bright
who here is good at math
sir we are going to have to put you on the short bus
/installs a lift kit and monster truck tires, adds some flames on the side
but serious tho i need help
what's the issue?
freesha is 6250 per bp i have 25/120 how many bp do i need
i have 48.3k
how much more do i need to get them all
omg
usually the best way to source a feesha is to scrap 2 d'vors at tier 8
i wouldn't use any event store currency on a faction ship
Thought it was per 5 bp
not in the event store
its 1 per
if i had more fed credits i could easily get it
Sure it was for me as thatโs how I just got mine
how?
let me guess ata
i cant find anymore fed missions
until i reach 39 and break away from this system
ik from the daily event
but thats only 200 per day
and yes i been getting the ata things
Canโt check the store as itโs now disappeared from there
huh
Iโm confused I thought we where talking about the freesha bp
oh we was but then i said enterprise
he said i need tons to get the freesha
and dont get faction ships from event store
Sure freesha is 6250 per 5 bp so wouldnโt need as much but I think itโs capped at 60
get dvor parts to get yours to 8, max out it's level and scrap for half the bps
then get the other half from the event store
niceeee
it takes more time and parts to get a feesha to tier 9 than it does to get two to tier 8
but i need 75k first
lol even my dvor isnโt tier 8 itโs got to be one of the worst ships to lvl
only got 48.3k
nawwwww
noooooo
in my opinion the worst ship is a toss up
discovery and frakinlin
discovee\ry
disco has summon and speed ups
discovery is the one cuz u hardly get any mats to upgrade
yup
Refit , summoning and cloak on mine ๐
because research and ship upgrades use the same currency
they did that crap with the gorn ship too
i ended up getting parts for the disco many stores ago to finish the summoning
i wanna stop upgrading and get that summon thing done
but
i got a funny feeling if i did that i'll still need to upgrade the warp
Doing better than me
yeah but ur ship is stronger
and ur forbidden thing is unlocked
just wish it gave sigma speed ups
i just wanna get speedups thats what i need
i know imma need those day speedups sooner or later
voy is alrdy 11 hrs to repair
