Make sure to wear the extra thick shower shoes

[mighty bone]

Not with detainees, co on co action.

[ember ginkgo]

Was like that on patrol too, met my exwife that way

....i really should write a book 😂

[mighty bone]

I will say this, I did not see that on the road much. Though I did see deputies who had divorced and married each other's exes

[ember ginkgo]

Badge bunnies

[mighty bone]

We had 2 deputies in 1 team who had each other's exe wife.

[ember ginkgo]

Think they share rank

If it mattered how many times i heard "Officer such and such from somewhere is my husband..."

"Good, call him."

[mighty bone]

I am going to say this though. I actually understand the COs and what they did.

I will explain

[gaunt terrace]

Anyone know when the refinery starts paying 5* rare parts?

[mighty bone]

The sheriff had an overtime rule for road. He hated us getting overtime.

There is so few COs, that we were doing 6-7 days a week 12.5 hours a day.

So no time for dating

Or to let off steam

[crude phoenix]

Ugh eco still has his hands in stfc.. no wonder it keeps going down the drain

[ember ginkgo]

It does by 56, dont remember when it started

Yeah lots of ot in law enforcement

On patrol it was court time

Speaking of which, have an 8am meeting, been a pleasure speaking with you

[oak basin]

everything after the word 'skills' was redundant, and, to the marine, probably 'red crayola' flavoured.

[kindred echo]

Why can’t we have a faction lock at say 500m, going from 10m to 1bn is massive and takes forever <@&509690795536941056>

[fierce fossil]

you going to love 1b to 15b

[weak wigeon]

Just triple locked the 15 bil one. It's not that bad. The next one is hard

[gentle raft]

There should be a faction lock to go with the ship requirements

[kindred echo]

That’s impressive!

[weak wigeon]

It gets easier as you go, have faith

[gentle raft]

Ty! I have lots of good ideas!

[ornate moat]

Congrats. Struggling to find the patience and enthusiasm to triple lock at 10mill. Think I'll have left the game by the time 1bill comes around, let alone 15bill 😖

[gentle raft]

Triple lock isn't the best idea

[weak wigeon]

Use the right crew for the faction xp boost and exos.

[ornate moat]

No, it's not. But there's not much else to do while we're still stuck in the time before Ascension. Scopely, hope you're hearing this (AGAIN !!!)

[gentle raft]

1. What ascension?

2. You can't auto grind for reps and parts if you tri lock

I'm locked for fed and rom

[ornate moat]

1. 404 is still the time before Ops40 Ascension.

2. Agreed

3. So am I

[gentle raft]

So I can auto grind for cow and other stuff

[ornate moat]

They have cows in this game too ? 👀 Damn, need to unlock that faction quick 😁

[gentle raft]

I strongly advise anyone from tri locking

I get enough bps just from grinding them

I got a d4

And almost a Bok Choy

[near bloom]

I’m at 102M for fed 😂 51M for Rom.

[ornate moat]

24m Fed, 12 Rom, 600K Klingon

But I haven't been playing since the game was invented, like some folk 😋

[mortal elk]

I imagine it's a ways off, but if you want to keep it that way, you'll want to avoid maxing out the Talios archive... 30 or 60m + rep per pull 🤣 (depending on whether you have prime borg refinery or not)

[gentle raft]

I'm not maxing anything atm

I have lots of data and credits for Aug

More than I could use in months

If I don't quit first

[mortal elk]

there's zero downside to maxing the augment one, even if it's just for extra officer xp/TPs

similar with OG Vidar, just gratis credits

can't think of reasons not to do voyager or monaveen, they'll just make life less grindy while maintaining commerce tokens/rep/rss

talios... if you're wedded to keeping negative rep... yeah, avoid it

[gentle raft]

I don't like unalterable commitments. That's why I didn't get married

[mortal elk]

In that case, you should never tier up any ship ever, because you can't un-tier them?

[gentle raft]

Huh?

[mortal elk]

unalterable commitments?

Maxing out the archive just gives you the next increase in 'amount of the things you can claim' for that loop, uniformly more than you can usually get with the normal grind

[gentle raft]

Why would I ever lock kln? For lousy ships and officers?

And not being able to grind fed and rom rep?

That's just dumb

[mortal elk]

transport patterns, officer level for mess hall

ability to get the independant miners (nova/selkie) without eating into the credits needed for other ships

[gentle raft]

Kln officers are useless anyway

I have enough kln ship bps just from auto grind

I think I need 20 more to build a Bok Choy

[mortal elk]

which is what when its at home?

[gentle raft]

For free

The mining ship

The Bok Choy

[mortal elk]

oh, I never built any of those 🤣

[minor furnace]

Autocorrect should be disabled by default

but no... humans are fickle beings 🙃

[gentle raft]

No, I call it that. I made up my own names

[near bloom]

Strong disagree

[gentle raft]

Perhaps. But discovery, snw officers require fed credits

So it's a better idea to go Fed

PMC, ENT E

Voyager crew

[near bloom]

Gorkon very useful, especially with all the crit options now, in PvE

Especially as Torres sourcing is laughable

And Lorca

[gentle raft]

Oh, I use the kln defense crew

Against rom and friends

[near bloom]

And lazy play in this game, you save next to nothing in real terms with not triple locking as auto-grinding Faction Hunt is horribly slow as the auto grind hostiles are so much bigger than real hostiles

[gentle raft]

I'm not talking about faction hunt

[minor furnace]

Badgey... what a champion

[gentle raft]

I have alot of new player in my alliance

They ask what officers to get

PMC PMT

Bones spork kirk

All Fed that you can grind from kln

Janeway crew

Chakota for marmas

Ds9 for solo

ENT E

Discovery crews

All Fed

[mortal elk]

and yet... locking klingons doesn't stop you from doing any of that

and infact gives you a second option for ships, leaving the fed credits for promoting officers (which as you have correctly identified, feds massively outnumber anyone else)

[gentle raft]

But I get lots of free bps from grinding them

[mortal elk]

sub 50, right?

[gentle raft]

48

[mortal elk]

so the bchor is practically useless already

[gentle raft]

How so?

[mortal elk]

Nova

[gentle raft]

To do what?

[mortal elk]

which builds up fairly fast from armada chests, but being able to go +100m up to get those BPs from klingon(e.g.) while focusing on a combat ship from roms, while still preserving the officer credit supply 🤷‍♂️

[gentle raft]

I'm not sure what you mean

[mortal elk]

heck, I don't even know what the chasers are like in g5

[gentle raft]

The cops?

[near bloom]

Like Istio’s cube.

[near bloom]

About the only thing you can auto-grind that you can’t autogrind with augments and Texas.

[gentle raft]

No, I can auto grind kln every day for rep, daily and bps

Without doing anything

[near bloom]

Autogrinders for rep, you can do more in five minutes with a survey system that autogrinding in five hours give or take.

[gentle raft]

I just park 2 ships out there

[near bloom]

Ok make that ten minutes because you’ve got two ships 😂

[gentle raft]

I'm lazy

[near bloom]

Ten minutes.

[mortal elk]

which system do you auto in?

[gentle raft]

And I sleep alot

The 50 kln

And I can also get ship experience without doing anything

[mortal elk]

these? https://stfc.space/hostiles/12920276?c=$stats:false%26fp:false%26locs:false%26cargo:false

[near bloom]

4k rep per hostile?

😂

[mortal elk]

get more than that from a 40 system 😐

[gentle raft]

Do I need more?

I'm sleeping while this happens

[near bloom]

The KSG hostiles of similar strength give 40k per hostile

It is literally a tenth of the time and you don’t have to turn up on grind days and say, “stupid hostile cap, why do they do stupid things like this?”

[mortal elk]

doesn't seem like a real reason to not get the transport patterns/etc

[gentle raft]

I have lots

[near bloom]

Can never have enough

[gentle raft]

From fed and rom

[near bloom]

I have lots at 200k patterns, but it’s nowhere near enough

[gentle raft]

200k? Think I have close to 1m

[near bloom]

That’s, what, 20 shards of a cheap officer 😂

[near bloom]

At 48 I’d call that a disappointingly low number

@iron sandal what you got TPs wise now?

[iron sandal]

wdym?

[mortal elk]

congrats, you can put the final tier on an epic officer

[iron sandal]

how many tps i have rn?

[mortal elk]

one.

[near bloom]

Yep

[near bloom]

No, at 1M they can unlock one epic officer.

[iron sandal]

only 300k atm

If they keep me waiting here much longer I’m gonna just skip my way to Pilum.

[minor furnace]

Just spent my credits on ships myself. I am flooding with faction credits

[gentle raft]

I use the faction officer credits for daily

[minor furnace]

Mirror Space being a nice help to that

[near bloom]

What is mirror space?

[gentle raft]

And spend the epics for events

[gentle raft]

It's behind you!!!

[minor furnace]

it is me looking in the mirror I am hitting mirror surveys for parts, rep and credits

[kind dragon]

@queen jolt @heady moon for improvement to the game can the chat feature get an overhaul? Multi-person private chats, GIFs, better emojis (graphic enhancements as well). There is so much that could/needs to be added to improve the chat experience. In addition could a ready check system be created for a commodore or admiral to PM the alliance and each member checks either a green check or red x showing they read the message?

[ornate moat]

Game is also so multinational and multilingual now, maybe some translation services ?

[near bloom]

It doesn’t need reposting every time you log in for the day. That tends to irk people and especially the <@&509691205798592532>

no you misunderstand, the idea i think is that when you send an AC gif, it takes over your whole screen for 2 loops of the gif then disappears. so dont worry, chat is clean still

[near bloom]

Don’t spoil a bad argument with reason and logic.

[dull mason]

But StFC should offer G and H Docks for " Rental" or Free by doing a long mission Chain

[near bloom]

Why?

You still haven’t given us a reason for them besides “cos I want them and they’ve been out ages”

[late ermine]

Its like comparing chess with football ...both are good in thier own ways but not something you can compare 🤣

[slow isle]

Well, because he asks like every two days for it for a while, duh lol

[near bloom]

When the community volunteers are asked “what do players need, what are they hurting on, what can we do better”, “Barny wants G and H docks cos they’ve been out a while” is a terrible argument.

[dull mason]

Equal footing on lat rush, to get more supplies, to have more ship's auto hunting for an Event etc .

[near bloom]

“Players are finding x, y and z to be very challenging lately because of 1, 2 and 3 reasons and it would be of benefit to have a, b and c capability” is what gets traction. And sometimes turned into a pack to hurt us with.

[iron sandal]

ayo HD

i am so bored i started an alt on 162

[late ermine]

U arr never winning lat rush without whip and why people still care about a useless event 😂

[near bloom]

First point - it’s literally a paid advantage. You give away the paid advantage and the paid advantage loses value.

Second point - why do you need more supplies? Stop mining G2!!!

Third point - actually play the game not AFK the game 😂

Events will always take you ages if you afk them with hostiles 10-15 levels lower than you can kill ordinarily.

[late ermine]

But seriously why care about lat rush have more than enough time to spend irl than mining ... Lat for 100 or 200 mats

Whole day..

[near bloom]

Yep, you’re not winning lat rush with docks, you win it with the whip

I love how supportive we all are

[late ermine]

Stfc was ment and suppose to be war " pvp " game tho

[near bloom]

I agree

[teal snow]

You can start playing one game and before you know it it's over and your locked into a game you don't want to play

[half hornet]

I know what stats battleships use in battle per type, like Interceptors armor piercing and dodge. Not sure however how survey works. What stats do they use ?

[near bloom]

I’m not aware of anyone forced to play this game outside of Scopely.

[near bloom]

All of the above, in smaller quantities.

[teal snow]

No your right but you can exactly put up a shield for 6 months can you ?

[radiant bay]

Just had a pc update. Do we know what it was for? Sorry if already posted

[half hornet]

So it's not like if survey fights interceptor then it uses armor or something ?

[teal snow]

Can't

[near bloom]

Yes you can, as long as you log in every 30 days to do it.

[teal snow]

So you can't 😂

[mortal elk]

spend down, donate to alliance, let someone empty you

one of

take captains off ships

and rest

[near bloom]

They all use all of them, it’s just that some classes have large quantities of mitigation stats for one type and there is a counter that has large quantities of attack stats for that type.

[mortal elk]

or, if oyu're not playing, does it matter?

[teal snow]

I've only spent a couple of grand I suppose just thought I was investing in a long term game

[mortal elk]

there is no investing

[slow isle]

exactly, ressources(par, trit, dil) are so easy to come by nowadays, who cares if you lose them, you probably have tons of token anyway

[mortal elk]

there is only spending on rented pixels

[near bloom]

If at any point you were playing this game and considered anything an “investment” that is exactly the moment you went wrong.

[teal snow]

What do you think everyone is doing when they buy into the game

[mortal elk]

you paid for reducing the time spent on xyz, I assume there was enjoyment in the process

[mortal elk]

investment suggests you get something out of it at the end

[near bloom]

Renting entertainment with time, or money, or both.

[teal snow]

And it's taken me a year to find out terms etc only apply to us and Canada 😂

[mortal elk]

what terms?

[teal snow]

Exactly 😂

[half hornet]

I know all affect mitigation in small amounts, but each ship type has main stats that affect them most. Not sure about survey. It doesn't matter what ship it fights, uses bit of everything anyways ? Or focus on different stats depending what ship type it fights?

[mortal elk]

unless you have shares in scopely, there is zippo you get bck out at the end aside from memories 🤣

[near bloom]

Oooh, I love a good armchair lawyer wibble!

[teal snow]

Terms conditions legal etc

[near bloom]

Let me get my popcorn

[mortal elk]

you mean the ones where they say you don't own anything?

those apply

[near bloom]

There is no situation where a ship “uses” more whether it is same category or not, the stats just “exist”. Like, a pair of scissors is good against paper but not against rock, it doesn’t mean that the rock then is better than the paper.

[mortal elk]

and sometimes the rock is a slate tile, and the scissors are cutters...

[near bloom]

I love STFC 😂

[half hornet]

I don't understand what you are saying. Interceptor gets a lot more from dodge than from other avoidance stat. So it benefit does depend on ship type. That's why in calculator on stfc.space you include ship type

[near bloom]

Yes, but an interceptor doesn’t “use” more dodge against Battleships, it just has it.

[mortal elk]

slate cutter meet tile

[near bloom]

The easiest way to demonstrate these interactions is actually using Trinity officers, where you can make an Exploder using Charvanek have massive armor piercing and kill a battleship.

Or a Battleship using Kang have huge accuracy.

[half hornet]

That's npot what I was saying. I asked if surveys use different stat depending on what ship type they fight. Because they don't have designated one stat like battleships do

[mortal elk]

surveys are balanced out

[half hornet]

so they just sum up all avoidance stats ?

[civic geyser]

Let me guess crewing from 405

[near bloom]

Yes, and your argument is predicated on “using” and summation.

The stats exist.

[mortal elk]

there is a weighting on the benefit the others give to the relevant stats, but never really dug into the formulae myself

because it's fairly irrelevant when you get higher up

[near bloom]

You have to use ship types with attack stats that counter whichever one you want or need to overcome to do it.

[half hornet]

In other words, is it better to have 6k armor on surbey or 2k of everything. If it doesn't matter what ship type they fight

[near bloom]

You are overthinking.

[mortal elk]

something like that

[near bloom]

Again.

They have a number.

That is their number. They have no strength, and no weakness, you just have to have more of the things to beat them.

[mortal elk]

you think anyone on that server has a 9m saladin, let alone any sort of Corvus? 😄

That's an old Ledger post

404 haven't had first ascension yet, let alone second 🤣

[half hornet]

you don't really get what I'm asking , but nvm

[near bloom]

If you do more damage across all of the statistics than they mitigate across all of theirs, you win.

[mortal elk]

https://tenor.com/view/theyre-the-same-picture-the-office-pam-the-office-us-gif-20757621

[near bloom]

I think the start of that problem is you don’t really get what you’re asking.

You are articulating yourself in such a way that isn’t compatible with the way mitigation and attack statistics work.

[mortal elk]

https://stfc-toolbox.vercel.app/

nip down to 'how it works' and play with the numbers there

[near bloom]

If something has 100 energy resistance and 0 kinetic resistance, it is easier to kill that thing with kinetic damage. If something has 50 energy resistance and 50 kinetic resistance, there is no “easy way” to kill it and that is what - largely - happens with surveys, they are classless, balanced, equally vulnerable to each.

Now turn that into a three-way and you have the armor piercing/accuracy/shield penetration conundrum.

[half hornet]

I don't know what other way I could ask simple question that you don't understand. Do surveys use specific stat depending on what type of ship they fight - that was the question. You came up with answers to something I didn't ask.

[near bloom]

You can use officers to change each and every one of those stats, but you can’t fundamentally change the ship and the ship doesn’t change itself based on what is attack it.

[mortal elk]

it's not about the ship they fight

[near bloom]

No. They don’t “use” specific stats. That’s not how stats work.

[mortal elk]

an interceptor will always have the .5 factor against dodge, and .2 for armour and shield

all the stats are active all at once

[near bloom]

Hence my point. And not being able to answer the question you asked, because to answer the question you asked the question would need to be complete.

[mortal elk]

a survey will be .3 across all stats

go read the page, play with the form numbers

[half hornet]

yes, exactly. I thought these proportions change for survey if they fight different ships. That's what I meant. So you say they don't change. ok

[near bloom]

How can they? Ship stats are ship stats.

[half hornet]

well logically if survey fights interceptor they could use armor more. Just wasn't sure they do

[mortal elk]

the factor is on the mitigation end of the calculations, it's static

[half hornet]

thanks

[near bloom]

If you think it would be optimal for a survey to use armour to battle an interceptor I can close my eyes and imagine your battle logs 👀

[mortal elk]

and they're all added (multiplied) together

which is why HD was saying 'they're just the stats'

[half hornet]

I'm not talking optimal. What is logical is that Interceptor targets an armor, or it could in fight with survey. So naturally you would benefit more from that stat. But it's static so no problem

[near bloom]

You want shields against an interceptor, or dodge.

But mainly shields.

Wow my Fed research is weak 😂

Well, mainly interceptor.

Cos my Klingon research is near zero.

[woeful compass]

then your fed research is in the negatives

[mortal elk]

ops 39 be like...

[near bloom]

I think my Bortas’ power is born of heavy battleship researches 😂

[somber gulch]

looks like we got a client update today

[half hornet]

thanks 🙂

[arctic iris]

Someone said yesterday that this research is rubbish because of diminishing returns. I skipped over it at the time but thinking about it now, what did he mean?

[half hornet]

That cleared things out. So like Harmonius said, when fighting Interceptor with a survey we can ignore armor that gets demolished by his armor penetration and focus more on shield and dodge. I get it more now

[near bloom]

The more items affect an equation the less each item affects that equation.

[warm pivot]

you forgot isolytic in that whole equation... that bypasses all mitigation is is more then 100% of the normal damage done in many cases

[near bloom]

So by the time you’ve added your combat research and your FT and your artifacts and your territory research…

The percentages in those researches become rounding errors.

[near bloom]

That’s what apex barrier is for

[warm pivot]

on a miner? or did i miss a point? ^^

[near bloom]

Sorry, British sarcasm.

Mocking the complexity of the game 😂

[warm pivot]

calibrate your taste buds ^^

[near bloom]

My noodle broth was a bit hot and I burned them 😣

[slow isle]

or how old stuff is blown out of the water by newer researches. The mirror researches at lvl 1 are often already better than 10 levels in older researches for the same thing.

[subtle shore]

Miners are expendable but sometimes you get a fun battle log from tc

[near bloom]

Yup

[near bloom]

Someone has crit research 😂

[fading belfry]

what was the big update this morning (at least on the pc)? hopefully lots of bug fixes!

[half hornet]

I've noticed faction button next to cliam all, or it was there before and I missed it

[earnest raven]

That is new. So you can claim tasks that is related to the factions.

[hushed kite]

it's newer than claim all button, and it's awesome

mostly so you can actually avoid claiming faction stuff you don't want to

[mortal elk]

I mean, it's been there a week now

[civic geyser]

So question reading IA when I master the Vidar path do I still have access to the Borg refinery? As the pay out of these are far better

[fading belfry]

the refinery is still there

[magic glen]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! GHOST!

[slow isle]

Maybe they added the missing rep to the Botany Bay mastery🙈 Know some smaller players who are not done with that one yet

[muted cape]

It should only remove the Vidar Directives claim

Tailos Mastery removes every except the Borg Solo Armada chests

[mortal elk]

yes, because those are the talios refinery at that point

so you get the equivalent of full pulls of everything a T9 vidar would give you, and you can still pull from the tally refinery

alongside the extra 60/120k charged probes each day from the Vidar archive

[civic geyser]

I thought so but seeing how the BB one has caused a few issues I thought I’d ask

[mortal elk]

there's no downside

[mortal elk]

only issue that has is the reputation gain not gaining 😄

and I still maintain there's nothing you're missing out on in that situation, unless you really wanted the khan avatar

[placid maple]

The Vidar mastery gives me more propes than Tailos ATM 🤣 loving it

[civic geyser]

#👾-bug-reporting message or this situation

[mortal elk]

again... unless you want that avatar, or have terminal OCD... it's not really an issue

rep gets frozen, but you're still getting the equivalent of max pulls from all the end result max faction chests

[muted cape]

Cannot blame scopely really IA is based on all end points at max augment there is no rep bundle. They just didn’t anticipate players didn’t have rep maxed yet

[mortal elk]

and they're aware, so it'll be fixed one day 😂

[mortal elk]

I'd pretty much given up on augments... it's largely pointless 🤣

[muted cape]

Other then this arc bringing IA I forgot BB was a ship 🤣

[mortal elk]

ops 61, not maxing augments... don't care 🤣

because once the BB is maxed... 🤷‍♂️

[civic geyser]

The transporter pattens getting from it ❤️ the rest just more clutter inventory

[mortal elk]

no more clutter than there already was thouhg

unless you're telling me all your data and credits and plutoniums were at 0

[muted cape]

At least you don’t have to mine or waste exborg credits to get the Stella Directives anymore

[mortal elk]

BPs I ignore because it's not like those ships with 0 BP weren't already in the list to scroll past

Oh, and, I can see augment rep in the BB claim now?

or was that already there and not doing anything?

rep hasn't shifted since this morning...

[boreal oasis]

Arenas in this game is like trying to rid a motorcycle in a blizzard - technically it will work

[mortal elk]

why pick on one aspect of the game?

you just described the whole thing 🤣

[boreal oasis]

because they don't listen when you say the fundamental basics of this game are flawed

you have to keep it relevant for them

otherwise you will get the "before my time"

[near bloom]

I want to go ride a motorbike in a blizzard now.

[viscid fern]

Still there for me

[proud parrot]

Press it see what happens

I pressed it and it disappeared and same thing happened a few people my alliance

[fading belfry]

hopefully it will come back if you have something else to claim? if not, we need 2nd maintenance asap!

[proud parrot]

It's crazy I ran repair and now it's back

[fading belfry]

did repair bring mudd back to life?

[proud parrot]

That claim all button is like the greatest thing ever to me

You know mudd he's always lurking LOL

And the speed repair we just hit one button that's the greatest thing too

[late pawn]

I like how the "Faction Claim All" slider doesn't lock in, you have to use it every time you go to claim. Because that ......... makes sense.

[fading belfry]

I wish they would warn us when they are going to do an update. I always set a 1 day shield when I know it's coming. I don't like hanging out in the breeze

[nova pilot]

It's very rude

[gritty badge]

Can you buy the Enterprise?

[solemn plaza]

Which 1? There's 5 in the game.

[gritty badge]

The 1701 from the Calvin timeline

[spring turret]

Is this based just on ops levels or are they also taking into account Power / Strength level?

[solemn plaza]

It's based on the average ops of the team.

[gritty badge]

Can I buy this one

[solemn plaza]

Once you get to Ops 34 you'll be able to build the Enterprise. You can either earn it for free or you can purchase it with $$$

[late pawn]

It didn't seem to be much different this time.

[gritty badge]

I have the money but it will not let me buy it

[solemn plaza]

Where are you trying to buy it from?

[gritty badge]

From here

[solemn plaza]

Should be in the Faction ship tab once you meet the requirements.

It's definitely not worth the $$$ though.

[gritty badge]

Why?

[solemn plaza]

There's definitely better things to spend $400 on.

[gritty badge]

Can you only get it through factions

WTF $400

I thought it would only be 100

[solemn plaza]

You need to have 10million Federation rep.

[flat knoll]

epics are like 2grand

[solemn plaza]

G3 epics are $400

[flat knoll]

G5/G6

[late pawn]

just get it through gameplay, the easiest and cheapest way

anything beyond 19.99 BP is a huge waste

[solemn plaza]

G4 used to be like $2800 when they came out. G5 were somewhere in the $3200 area. And G6 is too much to think about.

When game was capped at G3 (and for a good while after that) the G3 epics were $1000

[gritty badge]

Is getting Voyager worth it

[solemn plaza]

That is also something that you can get for free. The game takes time but you are able to get most things for little to no cost.
Voyager is a 100 day grind/drip.

[gritty badge]

I understand but my question still stands is it worth getting compared to the Enterprise

[crisp nest]

so where is the FT button???

[late pawn]

You click on the graphic now

[crisp nest]

ty

[gritty badge]

I understand but my question still stands is it worth getting compared to the Enterprise

[late pawn]

Both are worth it, for different things.

[near bloom]

What he said

[solemn plaza]

Ent is not worth dropping $400 on though.

[near bloom]

You don’t get a Voyager instead of an Enterprise, and you certainly don’t get an Enterprise instead of a Voyager.

[late pawn]

I'd argue neither are worth 'paying' for, but that's just my opinion.

[near bloom]

Can get one for a hundo now if you buy the right pack.

Double credits bundle comes with enough lat IIRC to get the ship in a oner.

[solemn plaza]

That's more reasonable than $400.

[solemn plaza]

How much federation reputation you got?

[oak basin]

ah, love when i go to launch the game and i have unannounced updates to download

wonder what they broke today

[magic edge]

Thanks Scopely updated and all i get is a black screen after Scopely screen💩

[terse jackal]

Morning everyone

[twilit lintel]

@dull mason

[coral notch]

If I hit ops 31, will I get amalgam blueprints available in the sarris invasion store?

[grave spoke]

Where is the armada event from the event schedule? 🤦‍♂️

[steep aspen]

no bps of any ship in the sarris invasion store at 32

[coral notch]

What you got there?

[steep aspen]

faction credits, active nanoprobes, crystal/gas/ore

[rose sphinx]

Good question

[coral notch]

So it's the same as ops 30 then...

[terse jackal]

That is only if you are maxed out on Syndicate

You get that armada event if you're maxed out

Perhaps you should have written that in the announcement. It only says „level-solo milestone)

[terse jackal]

you're right, something I can address for next time Outside

[near bloom]

The son was all like… “the sauce is green, where is the white mint yoghurt?”

[proven pewter]

So I am trying to use Toli for the first time… does he only work on the fatu armadas and not the hostiles?

[near bloom]

Don’t know if you had anything to do with the IA BB fix, but that’s awesome sauce to turn it around in that time too.

[terse jackal]

Nope the rest of the team saw the feedback and handled it

[near bloom]

Nailed it

Great solution

Even if it’s gonna take me ten days to sort 🤣

[west hamlet]

[near bloom]

Also, awesome on the scoring for the mine data event

One push and done in the morning

Complete with the much reduced complaints from arenas, with this month going like this someone be getting fired for the players being almost happy 🤣

[fierce fossil]

A great way to close things off

you won`t close off much without that

[near bloom]

🥲

I got Vidar and BB.

That’s a great start

[fierce fossil]

cool think that apparently with maxed vidar claim you get to double dip on the charge probes

[near bloom]

Yep

I don’t even spend all my Vidar pull on my Talios armada and credit pulls

It’s awesome sauce.

[stark latch]

@queen jolt i just upgraded my eviscerator to t7. The daily refinery went from 4* ship parts to 5* and 6* ship parts. Would you please ask that they add 4* ship parts to the daily refinery for it or add the 4* ship parts as a separate choice please. Thank you.

[near bloom]

Good luck with that

They did that with Voyager and… well, it still does.

[foggy parrot]

I don't see it, but I don't miss it

[burnt briar]

what did i say about treasurys starting on tuesdays lol

[foggy parrot]

fair enough, I remembered wrong 😂

[bleak anchor]

<@&509691205798592532> so since I built my NX using primarily the event store my daily claim is still active in exborg store. Is this limited in BPs or can one build multiple from just the exborg claim?

[compact storm]

I have bought enough bps to build two more myself.

[coral notch]

Are the data nodes broken after this micropatch that I installed half an hour ago?

[normal elm]

no

[bleak anchor]

So I could fleet NX from just the claim? Good to know.

[foggy parrot]

isn't there a special prize when you've built 10?

[coral notch]

I used to get almost 3x than what the nodes showed (eg. around 178k on a 60k node), now I am getting exactly 60k decoded data...

[proven magnet]

move off and youll see

[bleak anchor]

It shows up in cargo not on node pip

[compact storm]

I don’t know if it will eventually go away if you physically build two, but in theory, you can just keep buying them if you want.

[coral notch]

Okay, I restarted the game and now it shows I have over 210k data...

[bleak anchor]

I had assumed it was like the Stella that once you built one outside the exborg store it would vanish but that wasn't the case.

[compact storm]

I have a suspicion though that it might disappear if you build the second one, but I can’t prove that personally. I don’t want to take up a ship slot by building a second one.

The trigger may be building the actual ship a second time and not buying X amount of bps for it to leave the store.

[terse mortar]

fatu systems laagged out ?

[somber cave]

galaxy tree

[oak basin]

because other than the monaveen, specialty ships consistently do crap damage compared to faction ships, and you're gonna need to actually be able to damage things, lol

NSEA Protector is a great ship and speeds up the MU loop immensly

[elder lodge]

anyone else keep getting kicked out of the game and getting an error on trying to log back in? for once it's not exaggerating to say the game is literally unplayable 🤣

[cyan nimbus]

It started today and I already claimed the daily dang it. Very funny.

[warm pivot]

yeah... you claimed it, not me... your own fault. yes, maybe i was wrong about the specific day, but any cc always recommends waiting for after eventreset with claiming stuff. always.

[oak basin]

i mean, if you wanna try to ride to ops46 or higher without faction ships, go ahead, half the folk i see on my server have like t6 g4 unc faction ships that are half the strength mine were at their level cos their researches are crap, and they seem to manage, it just strikes me as a bad call when you consider things like solo armadas, silent enemies, etc

[cyan nimbus]

I waited till after reset. 40 minutes after reset.

[warm pivot]

unfortunate yes, but dont come here and play the blame game when YOU claimed your stuff

[cyan nimbus]

Thanks for lying about knowing when it started.

[foggy parrot]

just like 1000s of other players 😂

[warm pivot]

lying? i was certain it would start in 2 days, do you know the meaning of being wrong unintentionally?
go back to preschool and learn to be a decent human being

[twilit lintel]

and i bet half ur server are whales and very little are f2p which i am

[oak basin]

you always wanna give it at least a couple hours after reset. always assume scopely will mess something up and something will launch later than intended. it doesn't happen every day but it happens often enough people should have adapted to it as a behaviour pattern by now.

[static pelican]

So at what point will Scopley stop with the Sarris invasion crap since they don’t give us a way to source the directives to run the stupid armadas. I hate this event.

[oak basin]

i mean, i'm not 'f2p', but all i buy is the bp ( sometimes. some months not even that, if scopely annoy me enough ). most players on my server are similar or pure f2p. there are some whales, but they're definitely not the majority or anywhere near it. if they were, we'd suck less at incursions.

[foggy parrot]

grind the fatus, pull chest in event store, get dirs for madas 🤷‍♂️

[civic geyser]

Need to take that 50 directives out of the pull 🤮

[oak basin]

related : kinda wish they'd change things so that we could do the stupid 'totally not an armada, honest' shtick on day 1 of the event, instead of wasting a 1/3rd of the event on not being able to do them even if we have the stupid blue particle things

like, fine, have day1 not have an event for it, whatever, but at least let people do 'em so that they can earn redeemable currency on all 3 days of the event instead of just 2 of the 3.

[ivory hull]

So, the data mining time boosts are off in how they are working, right? I get 3 times the data but it now takes 3 times the amount of time it says to clear the node to get that. I guess it's better than tiny nodes, but didn't think that's how the data amount boost was supposed to work as it's not really saving any time here.

[coral notch]

How is it possible to have so much cargo over my max limit? I didn't get it...

[foggy parrot]

you have a claim boost of some sort

[crystal fiber]

Does anyone know if treasury normally has 5* epic gas etc

[whole robin]

that's what I did NSEA skip the uncommons getting rare but mainly because of the loot/rep bonus

otherwise I'd probably skip rare too and go straight to epic g4

[faint vessel]

yay! invasion 😻

[whole robin]

yeah when do the Chimeras show up? day 2?

I'm finally strong enough to kill a 42 Chimera.... probably

[civic geyser]

well, you turn left at the transwarp gate, follow the trail of krenim burned worlds, turn left again when that ends, turn right, past the industrial planet, blow up neelix's shuttle to save your stomach, and then the 3rd shop on your left is the voyager parts store

[gritty badge]

So you can't mind for parts for Voyager

[near bloom]

You get them from the 8472 pulls and one of the mining pulls if not both

[foggy parrot]

careful you don't strain a muscle doing it

I always got told that if you pull it that hard it’ll fall off

Yes, still cehcking discord from time to time to hear if there are news about it Also wondering about the armada event.

[near bloom]

Where’s W75 Fatty Kray system?

[near bloom]

There is no armada event for us muggles

It is for those with max syndicate

[rose sphinx]

Max synd means 45 or the new max? :))

[sly quail]

then that should be stated in the description instead the vague descriptions we always get

[civic geyser]

45 I’d guess as event was available before that update

[near bloom]

It’s a fairly consistent one to be fair.

While I agree, we shouldn’t act surprised.

[foggy parrot]

😲

[sly quail]

more info is always nice instead of the vagueness of Scopely descriptions

[near bloom]

It is, but sometimes we just gotta help ourselves

[sly quail]

for instance (maxed Syndicate replacement)

[civic geyser]

Just rename it to non muggles event

[rose sphinx]

Thanks for the info. I feel stupid now I kept on nagging people not to launch armadas and save for the event.

[foggy parrot]

we should not be surprised by vague descriptions given the amount of typos in game text

[near bloom]

Ah, it happens. It’s always good plan to save for events that reward it.

[stark fjord]

it's like dividing by 0

[oak basin]

meanwhile arenas remain unplayable, ft redo remains MIA, etc etc etc

[near bloom]

The event synergy has been thought about, the content is really good and gives me hope for future, the arena improvements to matchmaking has been massive.

[oak basin]

like, it's an improvement, i'm not saying this month hasn't been 'better'

[sly quail]

it is nice to see that the improvements they have implemented haven't fell flat

[oak basin]

but 'better' is not a reason to disregard ongoing problems

[near bloom]

For all the abuse Eco gets for some of his quotes - and he deserves some of that for sure! - I tip my hat to him.

[stark fjord]

but next month they need to give the following ships in the arcive, mantis, dicovery, stella, frankin, franklin-a, defiant, devor and feesha

[gritty badge]

How do you do the missions for Voyager

[sly quail]

I would expect that to happen in 90 or 120 days if it happens at all

[civic geyser]

Why most wouldn’t even unlocked half of those that we already have

[rose sphinx]

Eclipsed by getting the rewards for the FC Lorca Cost efficiency bug, yes, it's been almost the second month without "major issues".

FC Lorca Cost efficiency bug: they gave some outrageously low compensation, 6-7 weeks after the issue: 3 daily token pulls. Disregarding 6* mats, artifact shards, FT...

[stark fjord]

I am 2 days from ulocking vidar path

also my tier 5 protector jumped from 37m to 44m with one componet

[dull mason]

Well your 3 almost 4 hq's level's higher 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[oak basin]

mine's t2 and 44 mil, lol

[near blade]

Guess Scopely decided not run the Armada Attack event?

[oak basin]

that's... not what a whale's protector would look like, that's a normal mid-to-late 40's opslvl player's protector ( for the tier, anyway. most who actually use it will be tiers above mine, i'm lazy ). ben is just horrendously behind on research and it amuses me to needle him into catching up on his research properly

[civic geyser]

That must put me in the same bracket then

T5 and only 55mil

[oak basin]

dunno what ops level you are, but i mean, you'd have to be at least slightly ahead of ben in research to be 11mil stronger at the same tier, no?

but ok, i can add you onto the 'nag into catching up on research' list if you want

[civic geyser]

Ops 42

[dull mason]

I can't be bothered with Fatu content AGAIN 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Also BB event is past-it now

[foggy parrot]

it's ok, everything is optional

[civic geyser]

Missing out on syndicate exp

[oak basin]

ok so you're a few levels behind me, you have a reason to be 'behind' where my research is, i'm ops 49. ben's ops 50.

[verbal basin]

What area is server 702?

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-that-pigeon-gif-15240523

The Fatu event is ⬆️
Hit the pigeon 🐦 ship's.

[oak basin]

i'd compare where my protector was @ ops42, but, it didn't exist in the game when i was ops42, so

[woeful compass]

@near bloom so treasury is here on Tuesday🤪 🙈

[dull mason]

The new Assimilated system's are 💯% Annoying

[civic geyser]

Isn’t every system annoying

[burnt briar]

like i said yesterday they start on tuesdays lol

[oak basin]

https://tenor.com/view/club-rave-homestar-runner-cheat-gif-12933215

[burnt briar]

not mondays ever

[woeful compass]

I also said that and he told me I was wrong

that it started closer to spend events

[dull mason]

Player's swamp the system with multiple ship's,, player's Take my ship's that I'm going to, and it makes me
Angry

[burnt briar]

tuesday is closer to saturday tho lol than monday

js

[civic geyser]

Yes I’d agree they need to add a few more systems I did say that they cut it too much

[twilit lintel]

[shy hamlet]

shoot them and they can't steal your hostiles

[oak basin]

so... go back later when it's quieter. we all have to do that sometimes.

[twilit lintel]

is it just me or do anyone else like black pepper in their cup of noodles

[dull mason]

I have some on the top of my tomato soup

[burnt briar]

@heady moon sent reply

[twilit lintel]

haven't had tomatoe soup since i was living in a 3 bedroom apartment with 5 brothers

all we hads was that and potatoe soup

broke ppl food lol

[dull mason]

Well get yourself a tin of Heinz/Aldi tomato soup, pronto

[shrewd gate]

@heady moon <@&509690795536941056> How far away is the alliance tournament, or when is the next one?

[faint vessel]

welsh rarebit dunked in tomato soup nom nom nom

[oak basin]

nah i usually add some salt, black pepper, oregano, and a dash of chinese 5spice to my pot noodles. also a bunch of soy sauce.

[dull mason]

Soup and chip's 😋

[twilit lintel]

aldi's no ty

aldi's here is not good

[civic geyser]

mulligatawny soup

[oak basin]

well it's in america, of course it's not good

[twilit lintel]

oh wait u talkin bout food store or the name of the tomato soup

[dull mason]

That's not bad 👍🏼

[oak basin]

prolly don't even stock killie pies

[faint vessel]

now that is a weird one lol

[twilit lintel]

who knows aldi might be good

[dull mason]

The tin of soup

[twilit lintel]

ahh ok

[oak basin]

lentil&bacon is great for dipping chips in, but it has to be the big thick chippy chips, not fries

[dull mason]

Or mash and soup/ veggie

[twilit lintel]

i'll rather have spam and eggs lol

[oak basin]

mash and soup sounds like something i'd expect from cockneys

[dull mason]

Cheeky monkey 🐒

[twilit lintel]

trust uk food looks nasty so yall cant talk

[oak basin]

o but i mean it does a bit " do you want some eel and peas on your mash and soup, guv? " cockney a-f

[dull mason]

You might want to try corned beef hash/ beef mince mixed with mash potato and peas

[stone pagoda]

chinese food always the best

[faint vessel]

mince and tatties

[oak basin]

guessing you're not that familiar with uk food then, lol

[stone pagoda]

UK food is not nasty its just boring

[faint vessel]

uninspired people make boring food

[oak basin]

it's not even boring, people just look at the stereotypes, which are mostly stereotypes because the french and germans picked something they considered bad, relative to how they liked it.... over a century ago

[dull mason]

Look at videos by Kalani Ghost Hunter on Facebook
@twilit lintel

[stone pagoda]

they dont got no vegetables

[twilit lintel]

yes i have friends in uk and its nasty just look at this ewwwwwww Haggis

[oak basin]

kinda like how people stereotype german food as 'sauerkraut and potatoes' when there's way more than that

[faint vessel]

if the person cooking it doesnt have a clue how to cook/flavour, then every culture will have boring foods,

[oak basin]

mate i'm scottish, do not blaspheme against the haggis.

[dull mason]

Cheeky monkey 🐒🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[stone pagoda]

ive been to germany, i had potatoes 9/10 days

[twilit lintel]

pukes at Jellied eels

[civic geyser]

You forgot the curry wurst

[oak basin]

they do like their potatoes, but so do most places

[stone pagoda]

like america

[faint vessel]

dad has pasta ragu with 3 different types of boiled veg and spuds 😹 🙈

[oak basin]

no, america likes to class a chip on a pizza as a plate of tomatoes, cheese, and potatoes

[twilit lintel]

facts u know nothing bout usa

[stone pagoda]

so much carbs in the basic diet of usa

[oak basin]

i know far too much about the usa, it's why you couldn't pay me to go there.

[stone pagoda]

im there and i hate it

[oak basin]

also the above was a joke, a reference to when pizza was declared a vegetable

[twilit lintel]

LMAO!

[civic geyser]

Really need to rename this channel to the Food channel

[twilit lintel]

just no nasty sheep belly or pork pies

[faint vessel]

surely, it's a good thing we're moaning about food rather than the game? 🤔

[twilit lintel]

true

cuz the game gets boring

[faint vessel]

sorry if i've jinxed things

[twilit lintel]

food dont

but it comes a point when you watch ppl eating food tons on youtube

stuffing their faces

[oak basin]

...what's the point in watching other people eat?

[twilit lintel]

sometimes i feel sad cuz they are only doing it to get views

[stark fjord]

I think once I get to tier 7 protector it should be 100m power

[faint vessel]

hmm i wish they sold more varities of campbells condensed soup here in the UK 😕

[oak basin]

like, i can see why people watch other people game, but... eat?

only reason i can think of to watch someone eat is when it's your kid and you're forcing them to eat something healthy

[twilit lintel]

thats some good soup but im sure others will say its nasty lol

[faint vessel]

what ones have you got in the states? we're stuck with tomato, chicken or mushroom

[oak basin]

it's ok. i prefer baxters tho

[dull mason]

You have to try a
Tunnocks teacake, snowball
And chocolate Wafer biscuit

[faint vessel]

great for adding to savoury pie fillings/gravy

[civic geyser]

Sorry gotta be Heinz

[twilit lintel]

catsup?

[honest pine]

plenty of campbels verity in midlands

[near bloom]

Fooooood

[twilit lintel]

i have tried a teacake

[near bloom]

Foooooooooooooood!

[twilit lintel]

i would eat that looks good

[terse meadow]

laaaaaaag

[honest pine]

rabbits eat that

[near bloom]

It was incredible

[twilit lintel]

what is this meat tho?

[near bloom]

Minced lamb, spices, herbs…

[twilit lintel]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

mmm

nom nom

love me some lamb

and snake

[oak basin]

lawd you're spoiling that rabbit

[civic geyser]

Looks like a kebab I’d grab after a beer or two

[twilit lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/pour-one-out-for-the-homies-olde-english800-pour-gif-6926426395663552346

[near bloom]

I wish I could wash it down with beer but had to take my son to swimming lesson.

[twilit lintel]

i dislike beer so much

[oak basin]

nah you wanna grab a hoagie instead of a regular kebab. they take one of those giant naans and cover half with chips, cheese, and kebab meat, fold it over, chuck in the oven, like a giant kebab-y calzone for drunks

[near bloom]

His idea, I’ve got him trained. “Maccies or Kebab?” “Kebab!”

[dull mason]

Try champion beer 👍

[twilit lintel]

kebab with meat and veggies mmmmmmmmm

[faint vessel]

campbells cheddar cheese soup? haha

just discovered the US site

[twilit lintel]

ngl usa comes up with some nasty flavors but its the ppl who ask lol

[hot pasture]

I have a query
From what we were led to believe when we leveled up ops, even in the middle of an arc, the battlepass would go up.
I have just gone from 49 to 50 and the battlepass did not change. Why?

[oak basin]

on the upside at least they didn't taint it with cauliflower

[near bloom]

The opposite of that has always been the case

[oak basin]

you were given, or took, the wrong impression. bp is determined by your ops level somewhere in the region of 1-3 weeks before bp begins

[faint vessel]

the BP event store loot scales though [at the moment with the choice tokens]

[near bloom]

You were never under the illusion that going up in ops changed the battle pass mid way through unless you got that from people who should not be doling out advice on the game.

[oak basin]

it's never entirely clear where the cut off lies, but it's definitely before the bp begins

[near bloom]

If you haven’t done it by the Thursday beforehand you’re gambling big time.

I’ve heard of it locking before that but that is the rare occasion at that point.

[oak basin]

personally i don't even consider that sorta crap, i ops up when i'm fed up at the ops i'm at or when i run out of main-trees researches to do

[faint vessel]

omg 😮

[near bloom]

I can’t even upgrade like that.

[oak basin]

hi, yes, i'll take 547,391,673 cans plz

[twilit lintel]

my fav

[near bloom]

And a bottle of Buckie to wash it down with

[oak basin]

don't be silly, you pair 1901 with bacon flavours, not bucky

(honestly i actually consider buckfast to be undrinkable crap if even one taste bud is still functioning, lol)

once i've had a bottle of jack i don't mind the bucky tho, can't taste it by then

but not before

[near bloom]

I’m making Skittles Vodka

Cos my friend from Romania hadn’t ever heard of it

[faint vessel]

think i'll pass on importing some...... £9 /tin 😹

[near bloom]

And I feel 16 all over again

[oak basin]

your friend is lying to get you to give him free vodka

[civic geyser]

The Apple Jack Daniels is 😋

[foggy parrot]

isn't that illegal?

[near bloom]

She gave me the skittles and the vodka

[oak basin]

uk, technically legal. inadvisable tho.

[near bloom]

Not any more it isn’t, besides, who you, the po po?

[pale ingot]

Performance 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[twilit lintel]

[oak basin]

3 bucks for a 500ml bottle of bru

jtfc

[near bloom]

Scotland suddenly has an appeal for living there.

[foggy parrot]

no, I am the terror that flaps in the night, I am the batteries that are not included

[faint vessel]

how much is the bucky nowadays? 🤔

[near bloom]

Bru on draft at Maccies is a brilliant reason to venture to County Scotland.

[oak basin]

not in this case. that shop is importing bru from the uk, which means it's been sweetenered. they don't stock 1901 either.

if they had half a brain, they'd import irn bru from canada, where they licence produce it. that bru is still the old-pre sweetener recipe and would both cost less to import, and taste better.

[near bloom]

My local B&M or Home Bargains or whatever it is occasionally stocks 1901.

[oak basin]

1901 is lovely

it's basically old irn bru but a lil diff on the foamy side

[near bloom]

Me and my neighbour’s wife sit and drink 1901 when it’s in

[faint vessel]

i'm not allowed in there.... last time i went in for some washing up liquid..... came out with £80 worth of random 💩 🙈

[near bloom]

Cheap trip then

It’s like Aldi special buys

Go in for a dessert and a bottle of milk and next thing you know you’re home explaining why you need somewhere for a canoe and what you’re going to use a belt sander for.

[feral zephyr]

I got a client update this morning now my ships feel like they're in lockstep instead of predictive, is there patchnotes for this change?

[near bloom]

I’m going to be pedantic and say that being in lockstep is good and predictive is bad, so what issue are you seeing in descriptive words 👀

[feral zephyr]

Oh, I agree with your sentiment. Just looking for confirmation of my observations I guess

[near bloom]

Ah. In which case I haven’t a scooby doo, haven’t even updated yet. Ground for a few hours in Ty’Gokor before being accused of botting because of “which hostiles I was going for” before I ground many hulls in Kronos before going crosseyed and deciding this hurt less.

I shall go fishing to see what I can find

[faint vessel]

i fib, it was morrisons where i saw the 1901 IRNBRU £2/bottle

[near bloom]

Ahhh, Morrisons.

The poor people’s Waitrose.

[faint vessel]

i prefer marks & sparks for food

[near bloom]

Are you 90?

[faint vessel]

in cat years, most probably 😛

[near bloom]

All I ever see in M&S Food is nonagenarians and octogenarians complaining about how they can’t afford to heat their homes while buying “Not just any” food.

[stark latch]

Thank you. Too bad o don't have the option for 4* ship parts.

[civic geyser]

Can’t beat M&S food

[near bloom]

I bet I can.

[faint vessel]

i hadnt shopped there before, it was quite shocking - wasnt as expensive as people made it out to be

[hot pasture]

Ok so we are on the same page.
I got that info from a content creator.
Having said that I miss understood the info.
If you go up in ops, as it is a choice reward this time, the event store DOSE change according to ops not the actual battlepass.

[near bloom]

Yes, event store pulls do change. Ops 49 to 50 shouldn’t change anything though as you’re top end of G4 still.

G5 is 51+

The battle pass itself does not change though, it cannot - it behaves like an event, just a looong one.

[oak basin]

food is about the only thing worth buying out of marks and sparks, and that really depends on what kinda food you're buying, tbh

i will grant that in terms of 'supermarkets', marks and sparks are probably the best place to buy croquettes and chicken pies

..mostly because their croquettes are bigger than most, and you can actually rely on the chicken pie not being ruined by having onion in it

[near bloom]

Can’t beat Pukka’s steak pie

[placid zinc]

Was this latest update to add the broken attack button or to make system links further off target?

[civic geyser]

Doubt it

If I see the patch notes I’ll let you know

[terse meadow]

@placid zinc updates add bugs.
Maintenances try to solve them...🙈

[twilit lintel]

seems i cant find any impulse speed research

[late pawn]

I took all of the money I was going to spend in Scopely and tossed it toward Dogecoin.

[near bloom]

I spent it on bikes.

Bet I got better residuals 😝
