@queen jolt How will the distribution of Emerald Chain XP go?
more information will be laterrr
Neelix face looks like he about to do something else 🤣
rev next event shop ?
In other words they don’t know. They can’t even handle a monthly event. This is pathetic.
KK! Just didn't want it to be forgotten (Like we'd like you forget LOL)
Probably since most can get it free to play by then
Mantis comp??
lol, he's very weird right before this as well
yah not me dude ....
don't really care about st. patricks day events, i want my tournament rewards
no wonder Tuvok lost it
Close by now tho right?
line up
Or do the hostiles give you issues?
well i need like a month
nononnonono
not like this
Hammy left you to do all the dirty work 🤣
hammy always leaves
every month a vacation for him 😄
@queen jolt is there a plan to extend the AT store for those who unlocked a new refit with Emerald Chain levels but hasn’t been able to turn them in?
Or he is moving 🤣
moving where ? i want to go
Replacing Eco, Again.
Eco still slithering in there somewhere
they seem to have a very limited pool of employees there 😄
VIP Discord I hear has 6 cm's 🤣
actually @queen jolt u were fun tonight and we know ur doing your best 😘
Pauly is just the messenger that takes all our bs
only time he hasnt done his best was when he declined my request for 154 TNG Beverly shards 😦
beverly shards ... thats ur problem ?
can we get the yoga scene again pls ?
This one's worse...
call me Simparsley Potter
Fine, ill go back to asking for Jaylah shards then
omg
oh hey hey hey pokebuddy nuxnut!
and Wormadas
He gave me all your shards 😛
Heya! Look what I pulled at a pre release on Friday
hes speaking pokemon already ... brace !
more like Hedsimpaulywig
Don't ask how pikachu fills the fuel cells
How is the rewards for AT dropping direct into inventory going to work for the Emerald Chain XP our alliance receives?
It will be applied to the alliance automatically
Then a commodore or the admiral can claim any individual rewards in the chain
yeah when reset comes tommorrow it will all be given out 🤣
I was the guinea pig.
Funny, I thought we were the guinea pigs
Are you saying it was already given out
to the elyte only
Tested to make sure it didn't break anything else.
Still got all ten fingers and 11 toes.
Or league promotions and demotions
Everyone... Promoted to Master.. Boom problem solved
or.. hear me out.. the league of legends
Or they could include like 10k G6 uncommon crystal.. That sounds like a good comp
And 2k G7 UC gas + 1k G7 rare Crystal
I take it as a No on the Store extension?
60$ for 10 figurines of Demarco , 40K sindacate e 400 mirror dust ? But thieves have more humanity, do you know that you are disgusting?Luckily you have a good luck spot, you wrote it wrong, you should have written we are thieves and we won't give you anything
Oh @queen jolt - I'm also doing well with PRE...
$20 and you got a deal..
20? hang on, it'says 99!
That officer sale ain't bad for 20
what a "deal"
so far, I got one DeMarco Shard and 100 premium dust
I need some really soft players to play against in these Arena's. Fix it real quick.
I don't like the force you to hit faction hostile events
I’ve got zero shards but 700 dust
that's great! more dust is always nice
Oh for sure! 🥳
even if its 100
I'll 120 gwen if scopely is taking requests 🤣
gwen guys
I got 20k Syn and then 100k syn.
Gwen is a top notch officer, I got her unlocked already, 1 shard more isn't too much for her, just another step for a very slow journey
whats with this woman that u all hunting after her so bad ?
That is still 7 lvl 70's 😕
she's great , more iso is key for so many things
You say this because you don't have her...
i want my picard Q !
true
tomorrow is Invasion again, more shards for Gwen
And you say she doesn't help much
More NSEA spheres 👀
more grind
Tbf Ash and maxed Neelix probably made more of a difference there than gwen.
How much is the dmg without the ash buff.
🤷
Go find out
ash from gta rp ?
that event is also perfect to level some ships, Fatu krey are very weak
Was a few days ago when arsenic and I was playing in the exchange with realtas lol
i always be like top 3 in this at least and nsea is coming with this ... but the most dumb grind is continuum
Yeah it's cuz gwen is cascading off of the dmg boost from Ash. Remove Ash and the dmg will drop and then gwen doesn't have as much to cascade off of.
Just to double check. It’s not just the rewards for our AT position but more importantly it’s the emerald chain reputation points. I would give up the rewards but the emerald chain is critical. That is being looked at too right?
i just want the fng rev
There is a pack for that 😛
i can grind mirror stuff for hours with vger or whatever ... but continuum is really annoying
it really depends which ops you are, goes kinda fast, but once you got the ship is pretty good for more materials and efficiency researches
42
Sleepauly
EC rewards will be given at the same time
ah okay, yeah, then it can be a bit slower, but those grinds are worth it, those ships are good, really good
now you can go to sleep 😛
focus only on the ship for continnuum
woooo points just showed up on 53
it's finally out? I can log in, nice!
And there it is
thank you
why blocked ?
i need like what 20 more for nsea or what its called but like i said ... the continuum stuff is annoy without rev and i need like 70 more bps
worst grind since vidar
in a way
pauly !
shouldnt the store be updated with the emerald chain rewards?
nice, that refit we just earned is always aviable for us adept league people
Oof I was hoping my alliance would get 2 ranks in emerald chain
haha noobs
So you will get the NSEA this run and Rev very soon, nice!
i guess .. but still
lvl22 😛
its hard !
We had 25 people participate....
i had one
5 of which,... Did one task for alliance rewards..
u dont know it is
People know how to leech for sure
teach ur ppl ! im seeing way to many ppl mining vger stuff with pmc
Doesn't really matter what you use to mine voyagers stuff..
Only research/ tribble or quark speeds it.
at some point mining vger stuff doesnt matter at all but ....... get the point
maybe it was a bad xsample
PMC to an armada is still happening somewhere I am sure
i take badgey to armadas just to screw with people
im just saying .... alliances ad with come and grow and stuff but they dont even help growing in first place ...
just oh yeeee... u can get wave stuuuff ... lululululul
cmon
but i guess thats a my server thing
Alliance tournament is one that can be leeched with little effort..
Cow used to be one too
Rewards were sent..
not to me
Look at me. See my surprised face. 😑
I’ve had my individual rewards, but no change in EC xp for my alliance
Commodore has to claim the tiers in the EC area.. Like syndicate
I’m the admiral. We haven’t even had the xp
ur saing its fine ... ur one of the few alliances who got the rewards ?
Restart and check
restard ?
that was old mechanism. it's auto now i think?
like did u try turn it off and on again ?
I was not even talking to you...
and all the complaints all night from 100's of ppl are forgotten ?
No, someone has to claim it
Not with the problem today. I think it needs claimed
and thats it
wasnt it you @little violet who said doesnt need an admiral to claim it before ?
maybe it was someone else
<@&509690795536941056> PLEASE FIX THE JUMPING STORE THING!
jumping what?
Is there a announcement on how long the store will be open to redeem our alliance tournament rewards
i dont want no comp chest ... i just want my personal outcome by playing this game .. putting time and efford in it
the Alliance Tournamnet store jumps about loads, it's been doing it since the tournaments started, and Support assume that it's your error and won't refund you....
this is an issue that isn't just me, you are about to click on something then the screen shifts and you buy something else!
if i dont get that .. there is no point to play that game any longer ... there are many games out there like this ......
the store keeps refreshing, going to top when you are scrolling an item below. and it jumps while claiming an item in lower rows and instead a wrong item is redeemed. CS says not our fault and closes ticket
ae you saying if you get comp chests, you'll quit?
it's happened to me twice this tournament
cos uh, go ahead, buddy
yes
That could be what happened with me! I thought I bought Spock’s Pendant, but looks like it bought Mudd’s Helmet! That makes a lot of sense now! STUPID!
most likely
Freaking Stupid! I want a refund! 💰
how would you upgrade this?
yeh at least reverse the transaction for us, don't just upright refuse like they have done to me this month
I don’t see why we can’t get both compensation chests (field rations?) and the AT rewards.
how about going to every streamer who plays this game and tell the viewers there what it is about ?
new players ? good luck
Yes 🙌 exactly! Cause I think it did that to me not the last one but the one before, did the same thing, and I didn’t notice til you said that.
fire it up
What? A massive comp chest for the extreme incompetence in coding?
scopely wants new players sooooo hard ... because they need them since without players there is no game
What does it mean cool down will not be refreshed?
Best i can do is a 5 min speed up
Honestly, my success as a new player in moving forward has been driven by the quality of my alliance. If someone is struggling as a new player they should find a better alliance.
Means your cool down times are what they are and they are not resetting them
lul
you can only claim each item in AT store once per tournament, if you already claimed soemthing on day 1 you won't be able to claim again just cause they extended the store
Yeah I’ve only got about 100k of those
@queen jolt any chance you can adress the jumping AT Store issue? I've wasted 3.3K Credits this tournament alone
I second that @queen jolt
omg they fixed it
they’ve definitely extended the cool downs to account for potential stuff ups coz i’ve wound up able to claim stuff second time at very end when they’ve had to extend… cool down used to be like 6 days now it’s 7 or 8
once you unlock it , it appears in artifact shards, you can exchange them with TD
I might have to look at the pack once again then 🤔
Hello. Can someone guide me to the ROE link or website that’s out there please
The only pac worth getting
Any word on a half ship pack for the relativity?
ROE is a joke
roe is for non whalers
What's the current max impulse speed in arenas?
275
Thanks
If your not trolling roe is server by server
ROE is for crybabies that can't handle a PVP game
i want my stfc experience farmville .. excuse me
The joke is people who think STFC is a pvp game.
ROE channel coordinates: 1-800-Call-Your-Mama
pvp is not a thing in this game since p2w
It has that options
dont even get me started
Does killswitch meta allow missing a day?
Now we wait for incursions
Is this wasn't a PVP game, then why can we hit each other?
I have been stock piling to
PvP is an option in the game sure, and where the most monetisation goes, but in terms of gameplay, it’s 95% pve
It's called World of Tanks 😂
100% not required but makes for som fun conversations
well .. it became
Is the alliance tournament store going to be updated to reflect the new emerald chain level?
Mine was
Shoulda seen Dark Orbit's transformation over the year. Hog wild p2w pvp
what ?
Wrong discord sorry
it used to be pay to progress but .... well ....
An old timer Big Point PVP game that used to be f2p, that's developed into a p2w pig pit
i vaguely remember playing dark orbit back in the day when browser games were the thing
for like a week and then it got annoying
I used to play Dark Orbit hard core. Started in 2006
After Iris drones became upgradable and 3x ammo wasn't the max, the game slowly started falling apart
but i tell you that ... alot of these old games got canceld
because p2w
i was there .. i saw it
Dark is still around. Even has player created servers and spin offs
community cares i guess but still
i'm having "flash"backs 😛
This needs to be once a week
the thing is .... sometimes a stronk paramount isnt enough to keep a game going
even if its a kinda good game
p2w broke many games
Yeah, Dark Orbit isn't going like it used to be. Lot's and lots of hacks and cheaters are killing it
and im not talking about mobile who cares stuff
the direction this game goes ..... well ... better get all the new players u can get
Bugley
True story: Rutger ad libbed that entire scene off the script
Nailed it so well, that's it's one of the very best movie moments in history
Batista did a killer job for his short moment in the second movie
Imo, that was Batista's best movie moments ever
can you clarify in the announcement that the deadline mentioned is to collect the league rewards and not the AT store endtime. players are panicking
talking about best movie scenes ........
Don't you make fun of my legs...
collect the league rewards*
Can someone give me a date time or counter on when the alliance store will close? They stated a day later.. but later than what?
I'm on it
March 20th at 08:00 PDT
This isn't exactly the 'players helping players ' channel
Just saying
I just updated the announcement do you think its clear now?
Guess I had the luck of the Irish tonight!
Yep! Thank you! That was helpful.
How long is the AT shop open now ?
ty
Hopefully comp chest has extra AT rewards and something actually good
What’s it going to take to get yall at Scopely to understand that the Arenas experience is getting worse?
Ok now this is lame, we got demoted but had stuff added to our store because the emerald road but can't buy it because of the demotion 
At least with tournaments you can blame your alliance mates for not showing up. With Arenas you are stuck hoping the lag gods are too busy with incursions to notice you.
I could not shout and scream at the person because they did not turn up or tell him that I had a lag or ask them where they were or anything that’s Rando for you
I’m not worried about public matches, the lag is out of control, and players are exploiting it to cheese the game.
Arenas is less a feature, not even a grind, it’s really a punishment we have to endure to pick up a few features you can’t get otherwise
I wonder if anyone else noticed missing Tourny points from completing missions
I scored 43k and no points.
10k tasks don't give points?
some of the 10k give lots, some few
5k?
What is it with arenas? Every public one I have joined, the starter is not clicked 'ready'. And of course can't talk to anyone on team.
10k Multiphasic for $99
Yeah, I think the two people that were in the group that I joined just decided to sit it out. I wanted to score some points by killing something and I did.
'Soend 17k Multiphasic'
Yeah, I had two lots of lag
Sounds about right. You want big credits you gotta do the 8 & 10k tasks which also pay tons of refreshes. Most of the 10k tasks are easily doable with proper planning
was like that last round, i figured they wouldn't've fixed it and just didn't bother with arenas this time
There is only a small handful of f2p 10K tasks that pay good credits and refreshes. They do take planing and hoarding. But they also need better RNG to populate on refreshes.
There is simply no s simple Task's,
No mining, or spend other simple stuff for points
Collect operutunity chips cash in or borg UNC credits, kill 12 rare borg/Dominion solos
You can literally click on the task and it tells you what the rewards are, including any store currency payout
lost 3 times in the arena today
now if you dig down and think about it, there's probably reasons this happened
Naaaaaaaaahhhh
their ships are too strong
...or yours are too weak, and you should fix that
as you may have heard before
and my game has been frezzing up
I cant help my ships are week it is what it is
I will just drive my rank to 0
Pretty sure you were here last week saying the same thing. And you can help it.
yes I can fix it for $10k+
So you pushed ops instead of research and now you're regretting it. Am I right?
i usually have max arena rank and i've spent $20 in the last year so i doubt it's that
plus I burned bridges to the top alliance on my server no one wants me in there alliance
With out an aliance you can still do some things you gotta grind hard if you don’t spend you can still grow just not as fast than being in and aliance
It will be molding
If you look at your chat history, you would of answered your own question about PVP performance.
If you want to win pvp fights, do all the necessary things in the game that is available. Spending money is not required for that.
not only am I loseing my rank but anyone that would be crazy enough to join me
i don't have a 100% win rate in arena, but probably nobody but isto does
My game Iv been doing mostly reseach bc I saw sum very big guys getting down when I first started playing the game I saw this happen and I was like dang I’m nothing so I just started doing all research now. I’m finally just getting to where I’m focusing on ships now.
I don't.
But i do win the majority of them due to doing the work.
Roughly 80% win rate, but I don't recall
Nice
i know i'm meaningfully above 50%. also my ships are painfully undertiered for my current ops.
Is there a site where we can check WL?
shrug wish i knew
Stay in your lvl ops rang
It will take time but you can do it
wtf doesn't have it; it'd need to scrap arena stats way too often
Hence me asking, since they dont have it.
I've lost like 2 matches to get where i'm at, but also haven't done any in a long time
2365 rating
in original arena, i went like 30-2 at one point, but that was - if coincidentally - heavily cheesing matchmaking
42-49-56 was a brutal spread for people to go against; 90% of matches were vs g5u's and under.
1 match was actually power wise loss, the other was when armadas weren't loading, ships stuck in warp, and hostiles not showing
Once I get the Q cannon from the daily drip, things will get fun for me
yeah, i'm looking forward to having 4 Ct to play with instead of 0
What we are hearing is unfortunately a lot of this is a “you” based issue.
Even without spending you can easily have strong ships if you make sure to put mats into ships and researches. Now, if you refuse to do that and maybe just slapdash through ops or ignore pvp oriented things that would benefit you, that again lands on you, not others who “spend 10k”. Little hint, there are a lot of free avenues to really solid options to help with pvp, you just have to play with intelligence and a plan.
No one likes the “woe is me” banter, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and make yourself into something an alliance would rather have on their side than not, or just accept maybe the game is a net negative on you and your attitudes, drop it like the bad habit it seems to be for you, and bring some sort of balance and positivity back into your life.
Yes that correct I spend nothing crazy though but I do but not realy Sence all the glitches and things but the game running ok a lot better now but there fore a while it was realy crazy tah even at times
Play I ment at time
I just like the grind idk that’s just me lol 😂
But. Have noiticed grinding ues when it’s starts glitching there’s or freezing up usually a iso update or game update
i know the cube has impulse crew , also tantalus and canon equipped on the cube
example of good research
so I got 5 losses so far today total score 22 to 22
Right tech and the right crew
I’m ops 47
Not last incursion
But one be fore this last ah 57 hit me 8;times
I won everytime
Then there 60 got my ship but could crack me
Couldn’t
Bc of my research
Alone
bounding a g5e at 47 is a big deal
it's always been a miracle if i can bounce 10 ops up
But I’m nothing lol 😂
There’s monster megalodon whales out there
Can can take yah down just a survey ship lol
Ok so a guy in a t7 Crozier with No FT no CT somehow critting me for 2 billion iso damage his base iso is only 130%
Artifacts and cascade
Yes but his base iso is crap
Not all artifacts are included with the base stat
You won because of Tantalus & Canon, it is not a "good example if research". In fact it's a good example of how money can break pvp
I know but hes doing 800% iso off of 130 base
He doesnt have 300% cascade
those were on the cube !
186% cascade
My apologies then, I'm really impressed 👍
Right
i replied to phelan wolf by mistake though , haha
Yeah 130% base + an unknown amount from all the other artifacts
Nah I was agreeing with yah I was impressed as Wel
Yeah.. that crozier was heavily stacked from artifacts and the like.
But as long as you maintain your own iso defense, it is not going to be as bad as it looks
Apex barrier could use a boost.
@queen jolt new waves are broken when u use multique attacking wtih borg cube
BD icheb is a helluva thing
But it is just a matter of research here. I get deaths from similar ships who are stacked, and I am well entrenched into 60
while iso defense is good , it cant negate all the iso dmg taken , counter iso dmg by iso dmg , iso defense is a bonus
I just sum it up to paid research and move on
There are times I can kill g6 ships and I will go into a match where a 56 kills me
Is the impulse speed cap still going in arenas?
I pushed icheb to t4 through event store, a lot of people main a pvp crew that doesn’t apply a state to me depending on the ship I fly, icheb stacks on himself, I can toss 6Bil+ iso crits at people round 2 with a roto and no tantalus field or q cannon. Just good old klingon time crystal
Just from the most accessible research/Artifacts there's atleast 52% iso that could be hidden and potentially another 75% on top of that as well.
Thanks for mentioning this …. I was just about to make a comment on this
iso dmg can be increased from , buildings , officers , artifact , research etc.. , without spending , ofcourse spenders will have higher % , but at least you will have good ships when facing another ftp
Your MATCH MAKER is the worst of any game I have ever played DO BETTER
Hmmm I bounce ops 55 players with ease though I always have my ships set up for shield stripping and base defense
Kras does wonders against Rom Khan and (other bridge officers that are good for base cracking)
And they never seem to learn. . .
Scopes should do dating apps, with matchmaker like this I'd pay to be dominated.
Okay, are Arenas actually getting a little bit good again....???? Let's find out! UltimatDJz plays PUBLIC squads WITH YOU! Let's kick it...

Poor man's rev
Best joke I ever heard was that Scopely cares about our wants and needs. They don't care. As long as whales keep running their credit cards, Scopely is cheering.
That is every corporation.
Jesus arenas is bad... Can't click on stuff, ships stuck, whatever the 🤬 this garbage is
some peoples only skill in this game is hitting the PURCHASE button in the webstore.
Scopely couldn’t really care about players feedback and input, look at Arenas, nobody wanted that but “We added something really sought after”.🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
Useless devs
How do you quit an arena? No point on wasting my time against someone that is pay to win
You cant.
Arenas are such a terrible event
Scopely needs to implement an arena MMR
100%
Matching strictly by ops level will never yield fair matches. You need a system that gradually pushes pay to win against pay to win and f2p vs f2p
Was just in one where two 56s and a 57 faced 2 60s and a 59.
Was in a match earlier with a 60 who had 2.9B G5 epics with near max pvp FT and CT equipped
Even while stung nobody took more than a few percent off his hulls and he just chased everyone down and killed them
It wasnt to bad when speed crews were a thing.. but now the one thing to combat p2w/trash matchmaking is gone so aint nothing to do
Losing rank from a loss is a bad mechanic
Especially when they are limited time events
Its good for games with good matchmaking.. not for this game. Atleast not nearly as much as we lose rn
Win/loss should always be around 50/50 if matchmaking is good.
Systems with good MMR behind the players can largely achieve that
Yeah.. but this aint one of those game lmao
But you need a mechanic to push people of similar abilities together
I’m just tired if afk squad leaders and people that just don’t participate, there i bo way to report then
scoply wants to do that with wallets
This game has WAY to much P2W and power creep to do that tho
There is no reason you couldn't achieve this here via ELO system
What you'll end up with is players with tant Field and q canon fighting other players with tant Field and q canon and those without fighting those without
They dont have enough of a playerbase for that. It would be the same 30 people waiting for each other to try and find a match
New MMR = Current MMR + K x (Actual Result - Expected Result)
Have it go across all servers in a region. If people got fair matches more would participate.
The rewards are great, the matchmaking is terrible
Yeah that would work for some people sure, but APAC wouldnt be able to play. They can barely play as is lol, And would kill anyone who tried to come back into the game from a big break cause there wont be many 40s, 50s, or 60s in anything lower than prob silver or gold so the queue times would be insane if they even found a squad
The current system as dumb as it is would work great if they just lowered the amount we lost each time
You could remove the ops level restrictions. It becomes about the individual and their research and officers and skill determining their MMR through repeated matches. I see 61s with barely 400m power no big ships no ft, barely any research. And then I see 60s who can crush most 64s.
Cause its either that or insane queue times
Then you have the same thing that everyones complaining about now where one decent power player steam rolls the whole team or almost
You can expand your MMR range during longer queue times, and ELO will adjust. The formula looks at the expected result and you lose less if the other side is heavily favored and you win more if you beat them
Nothing is perfect. Anything is better than what we have now
Should also let the game do squad creation so it can better align matches.
You just click ready and it finds 5 others, balances best it can, go. ELO handles the resulting consequences
None of the matchmaking and rank issues would matter if rank wasn’t illogically tied to Terran favors. Remove that link, and the player base would increase exponentially. We wouldn’t care if we get mismatched a few times in a row, as the rank would even it out. BUT since that rank is tied to Terran research unlocks, rank is this ugly thing that sours the whole loop for many players. The fix is easy to test, so much easier to implement than every other thing they have tried to do with arenas.
The issue with that vs what every other game that has a ranked mode dont have is this game has insane power creep and is based on years worth of research, crews, ships, favors, primes and other p2w features, and everything else where as something like COD or R6 is just a pick up and go, other than unlocking weapons or ops which takes a few hours everyone has the same stuff and is on the same playing field and its just about your skill for 99% of matches.
STFC has the YEARS of research and all the stuff I said above and the fact that 60% or so of the game is below ops 41. so you do those changes and 40s-50s will have a lot of load times but would make it nearly impossible for 60s or even some 50s to find a match in their ELO range without making the ops levels WAYYY uneven
Heck look at COD and R6 and most other games with ranked, even they cant do the ranked system well when they have the easier side of it, how are these devs gonna do that when they cant even make sure tasks for the tournaments are not invisible for the 4th time in a row
Boombaboom
Anyone else not seeing a timer on the Alliance Tournament Store
They extended it a day, but it sure would be nice to have a definitive closing time
There is
match making is real great in arena.... a 63, 66 and 67 against 2 70s and a 66.... phenomenal work there...
The largest Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC) information site, featuring information on ships, officers, systems, hostiles, research and more.
The whales wanted it, so Scopely pushed it on us. They pay all of Scopely's bills.
Every single complaint about matchmaking is from someone who doesn't understand it 😂
What did the whales want?
Everything that f2p didn't.
😆
I had no problem at all with the matchmaking before they reduced the squad range banding. Because of that change there are now fewer squads participating, meaning the matches are becoming less “balanced” as the average ops of the squads in a match is often further apart than before.
Oh I quite agree, I predicted that when they announced the change and also gave feedback on it afterwards. Perhaps I should have qualified my statement 😉
Sounds like you & I are on the exact same page on arenas. It’s almost as though thinking about it has led us both to the same conclusion. I believe in scientific circles that’s considered a good thing for demonstrating proof.
I believe so. If there were only 2 squads close in rank and the next squad is a much poorer match, the same squads will play each other repeatedly. Add more squads into the set and the distribution improves; some matches are still uneven but the number of even matches improves. Add more squads into the set and ... etc.
Or better still, Scopely take one on the chin and put it in the dumpster
It really annoys me when people suggest just binning the feature, because fundamentally, it's not that bad by any means. It needs some tweaks in a few places, but the core of it is no worse than the rest of the game (and in fact most of the lag-related issues are probably part of the core codebase that gives us lag at some many other points in the game anyway, eg event reset time).
As I see it, implementing the following would make the entire feature much more appealing for all concerned:
- Revert back to +/-7 ops banding for squads. Changing it to +/-4 has had a detrimental impact on player engagement, and by extension, the quality of the matchmaking
- Remove the Impulse Speed cap. This was supposedly done to improve lag-type issues, but from the comments seen here and my own experience, it hasn't changed anything
- Reduce the rank penalty for losing matches. This would encourage players to keep playing because the risk is lower. Alternatively (or perhaps as an additional measure) introduce rank locks similar to the FKR rep locks, so players can feel safe that if they have a truly terrible run they don't lose everything they've earned. Fundamentally, players shouldn't feel penalised for engaging with the feature, which is exactly what happens when you rank down, as your daily pulls reduce in value (while costing the exact same) and certain valuable content in the faction store is gated behind rank.
This is a great way to get player engagement
Matchmaking should not be based on Ops but on power
It is supposed to be
Since when ?
Always lol 😂
Should be based on average power
Least that’s how it was presented initially
Its never been the case
Ask @queen jolt lol
Power is so dumb, its just base turrets that don't feature 👀🤷🤣
it was never about average power

Ranking and average ops
Do enlighten us
That's why I get ops 67 all the time 👀🤣🤣 ops 60 here… make it make sense.
See my image above
Its definitely broken 👀🤣🤣🤣 but is it Vemet broken
The level lock's need reworking, they have always been wrong
When Vemet was broken and it was good for us they fixed it sooooo fast. When the brokenness is bad for the player they leave it forever. This will be a perm feature.
fast? vemet was broken for a week
compared to other beneficial fixes, it was downright snail pace
The only way they could "fix it" is by reworking the matchmaking entirely into a much more complicated system. By having a static ops range it makes the algorithm simple.
You are confusing the packs in the store being the wrong price
You just proved my point 1 week this event is weekly and hasn't worked since inception 🎤⬇️
Are you a scopely bot? Do they pay you in packs or good matchups? 👀😅
AT is as engaged in Arenas as i am
Any know issue with the limited time ship upgrade sms not working? Spent ship parts and got no score
If its an Epic it wont score
Anyone else got FC slot but not able to use it / no FC slot open???```
Aaah, tru tru tru .... thanks... my eyes obviously wanted to see fc slot 😄
The potential issue I see with the rank penalty, of not reducing or locking rank, lies in whether they calculate the rank part of matching by player rank score or by rank "bucket". If it's simply by bucket then everyone eventually reaches platinum I and matching problems such as in the very beginning resurface, but if it's by score then fine. I would hope they would calculate average rank scores as part of the matching and not average bucket.
But this is $copely and deep- or forward-thinking seem more the exception.
It's based on ops. It's always been based on ops. The announcement and explanation said it was based on ops.
"It should be based on power" is a common catchcry among players who neglected research or levelled up too fast and are weak for their level.
They could base it on power, but it would probably end up as base power, rather than the power level players see
""It should be based on power" is a common catchcry among players who neglected research or levelled up too fast and are weak for their level." garbage
Yes, the idea that it should be based on power is garbage 😂
I bow to your greater expertise with a rating of 12k
power commes most from defence platforms, it has no impact for arena
It probably is in some cases. Along with several others like “whales ruin it” and “you only won because you spend”
Nobody argues that some tech gives a huge advantage or that there are steps up at some levels with differences between unc/rare/epic ships or that speed caps have taken away the only advantage some players have at their level. But simply the fact that some ops levels require all def platforms to be levelled up and yet there are huge power differences between players just upgraded to those same levels shows that there is more to it. 🤷♂️
like, for example, myself and another player in my alliance went ops 53 at roughly the same time. there's a 60mil gap in 'power' between us
If they were to change to it power instead of ops in the matching, you'd soon have players crying that it's unfair because e.g. their best ship is a g3 epic and they get smashed by a T1L1 g4 rare 😂
and then you have folk like hd, taking g3 epics and smacking g5 uncs about cos it's funny.
still haven't worked out how he did that
Investment
In the same way that apex shred had made some crews useless
Power at 53 ranges from about 90M to over 300M, across nearly 3500 players. In our alliance, a couple of players are just under 150M, and they're considered a bit on the weak side. Power-wise they're in the ballpark of many 51s
That’s nothing. From my servers last incursion…
Just from research, the power of a L1 g3 epic out of the box is hugely different between ops 39 and ops 50+
Just checked, if I hatched a d4/ent/augur right now the power would be 18M. Our lower ops have maxed g3s that aren't that strong yet.
But it circles back to the point that players who are stronger often win and rank up, and with enough players in the mix you don't face off against those players once they move out of your grouping.
10-12 mil on freshbuild g3 epics for me, in build window, anyway, bit more if actually built and had a crew on
Public squads is more of a wildcard, but alliance squads who win are usually working together and sticking together as they move up.
34mil-ish on maxed ones
🤣
I know my run yesterday, I landed with a squad of 59/61/64 with players who knew what they were doing and we won more than we lost, with some of those wins against squads that some would call "unfair" bc they had much stronger players based on numbers. There were also some against players 67+ that just turned us into mincemeat. 🤷♂️ Can't win them all 😂
It would be nice if these Ultimate Choice could be changed to a “1 purchase limit” whenever they run these in the event shop - as it seems to me there is high probability that Scopely might change/update the items eventually - so this would not lockout earlier buyers 🤞🏻😌
What officers go with Hemmer?
Spike/Hemmer/Sam
I don't think I have sam
?
Poor koz got cooked rob
1st world problems
I bet the repair bill is pricey
Ok so I just got Interceptor Parts conversion from the 31 store and collected the tokens. I see more tokens but need to upgrade the 31 rep. Question: Do I get more tokens every 2 weeks , like the Mat Bonus tokens, or do I only get Tokens on 31 level up?
you get one token daily
Just remember to claim it.
@here reminder, you have one hour left to log into the game and claim your alliance tournament reward.
what about the comp chest that was coming is that still in the works 🙂
yes buddy
YAY 😄
did you find out what the problem was?
Are Tournament prizes transferable when you change alliances?
How kind of you to edit the announcement hours later to reduce claim time by another two hours.
kinda unhelpful considering it wasn't working when many people normally play
great for me cause I got the ping but a lot of people will be SOL
or turned off nots for this discord
thats a bit short for working people, having it fixed in late evening and giving people not 24 hours to grab it
Is this for all servers? EU players are mostly at work now
Announcing it during midnight when most people are offline - reduce claim window to 16 hours to make it extra hard for working people 👍
@queen jolt what time/day does the Alliance Tournament store close?
No comp chest?
even the idea that you ahve to log in the day after it was broken on a hard deadline to even get rewards in unacceptable. the compensation should be MASSIVE
wait you didn't get my ping 16 hours ago? https://discordapp.com/channels/509679626763632640/509685530108362773/1351326700184801393
this is the same company that runs 4 hours of the EU arena time on a monday when most people are at work
I missed the 2nd part about the tournament store. Thanks
please refer to our announcement so you'll get the time on your local time
@queen jolt how long store open for
The audacity, man
till 20th around 8AM PDT hmm
bad timing lol
I know you’re doing your best mate - but that’s 10pm UK time, with a final reminder at 2pm on a working day - a lot of EU players are going to find theirself missing that
just out of curiosity, you know a lot of players don't use discord right? Zero in game communication about this is ridiculous
pinging @ here is useless if folks who are working are offline. therefore major fail. increase the timescale.
Not to play Devil's Advocate or anything, but if they log into the game, they get the rewards. You want them to tell people in-game that they should be...in-game?
@queen jolt Is there any way it can be given another 8-10 hours for the EU guys to have a fair shot at it?
Shush you go back in game we are at war
that annoucement was at 10pm and it's currently 2:15pm, it's entirely possible they were asleep and now at work and haven't checked the game 
Ok, now I'm no Cheerleader for $copley.... but wanting an In-Game notification to tell players they need to log in to the game????
the announcement that there are problems were not communicated ingame. so people not on discord may not knwo anything about it.
to claim limited time rewards? yes absolutely, especially as they're AT rewards that you can only get once a month...
A lot of EU guys will have logged in after work, seen no rewards, and today they’ll come online to see they missed the rewards entirely because the extension completely forgot about timezones
I wasn't arguing about the fustercluck of the rewards issue generally. I was just confused by his idea that in order to be told to log in, one must first log in.
that specifically is indeed a bit confusing, yes 😄
they can send push notifications, I've seen them do it before for new arcs Hank
"log in to claim your AT rewards!" or something would be fine for people who don't use discord
If you logged into the game or were logged in when he made the announcement... YOU GOT the rewards..... so what would be the point of telling people who were logged in already OR WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO LOG IN TO SEE the announcement (thereby getting the rewards) , to log in to get the rewards ....
Stop , think, ... then type
$copley gives us PLENTY of reasons to gripe at them .... we don't need to fabricate unreasonable ones
ah yeah the announcement that was made like 7 hours after the tournemant ended at nearly 11pm UK time, I wonder why people weren't online at 11pm 🤔
I'm not arguing the timeline of how long it should have lasted .... but to argue that they should have had an In-Game announcement to get players to log in to get their claim ??? Again .. to SEE that announcement, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO LOG IN.... which is what the Discord announcement was asking them to do
In order to understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.
Did you miss the bit where I said they can send push notifications to people's phones too?
I just double-checked the comms we sent out after the rewards were sent. In addition to the Discord/Reddit announcement, we also sent push notifications for mobile users. Are there any other steps we could have taken to cover this news?
What about people who have those push notifications turned off??? Should they then have to send Hammy or Simpauly out knocking on doors too???
Send push notifications to tell people to turn on their push notifications? 😂
@queen jolt looks like you are gonna be racking up some frequent flyer miles
please upvote to make this happen!
would it be possible to send text messages/sms to people, too? so those who have push notifications off would get it, too?
10/10 sealioning
Let's be honest Simpauly ... it would be more like this than your meme
something simple as a countdown (store closes in ...) would be appreciated
What about the ppl who have turned off push notifications, muted discord, unsub'd from emails, and blocked notifications on social media? How will they know? hmmm?
I think I just covered that in my above meme
well if you log onto the game, you'll get it automagically
my man!
if you don't log into the game, well then you'll need to check external things 🙂
... and have "No solicitors" on their door 👀
adopt Pauly maybe?
congrats on your five thousand new dads?
Ok , then @queen jolt would have to hire someone to try his meme
what i fail to wrap my head around is... why do you have to log in? why doesnt it get sent like a gift to the eligible players?
cos you know they're gonna complain that nobody told them
Or why there needs to be a clock on the redemption in the first place, particularly with the extended delay.
I have to say I am feeling ALOTTLE dirty for "sticking up" for $copley....
When they do stuff right, they deserve kudos too
That's a good question though - but it's pretty much the same as with daily resources i guess (and all other claimable assets)
pappa? dad? tata? baba
if you don't claim it - you don't get it
I usually feel this way when they get something right (or right-ish)
Right now simpauly is thinking about how many bday pressies he's gonna get...
...just wait until he remembers father's day 😂
Well enough of this nonsense.... almost time to LOG-IN ... and CLAIM my Fatu-Krey Scraps
😂🤣😂
Are they any upcoming upgrade chaos tech events?
There will be once you spend all your upgrade items
screenshots of a missing purchased item...what do now? screenshot somethin that dont exist?
Definitely maybe probably but who really knows for sure.
support kinda weird..
can you dm me
absolutely
As a new level 42, how do I source "DTI security access cards" to start building the DTI Headquarters ?
Need to contact CS and ask them to give it to you.
ah okay, thanks will do!
Once you've got the building the materials to upgrade it are in the DTI store.
id like to thank @queen jolt for taking the time to assist scopely support, solid dude right here
@queen jolt always a standup guy, has helped me through a lot. One of the better mods that scopely CANNOT afford to lose
shh, you summoned Hammy now
it's showing in your time zone
the box around the timestamp & the fact that it shows you the time again when you tap it us how you can tell
Thank you!
Fix the Event Timer's ⏲️ ASAP
is there a promo code for this arc?
coooket
LOL
We tried 3 60 borg polygon group armadas and all 3 failed said cancelled or just bugged out.
Whats going on
All participants were in
These are one week per armada directive.... its a huge loss for those who hosted
So I just lost out on those rewards because I didn't see this message until 30 minutes later?
do faction commendations even do anything?
its not a matter of whether I have enough resources to upgrade, its more of a matter of whether I have enough chaos tech to upgrade...
A short answer is 👉🏼Yes
You need to only " buy " Them when told to do so , on mission's..
I just started an alliance. Where could I get new members?
On your server or discord channel
This is the StFC world discord..
Help me with this stupid broken game
I keep sending my ship out to do dailies
(69) ROM system
After 2 mins this happens
Whenever I restart my game, the ship is in my base
How am I supposed to do dailies when the game keeps getting my ship stuck then sending it home?
PC
Sigh
A workaround for the 0.00 warp bug is to swap the ship you want to use to a different dock, warp one system away from your station, then recall, then switch back to your main dock, it should let you warp normally.
☝🏼🤣☝🏼
Not had this issue before, but I'll try this
another 20k syndicate from the luck tokens though. smh
i hit 100 dust again from the luck
Did they ever fix / acknowledge no ultimate choice in the store?
better than 100 dust I got both time
It's a lifetime purchase, if you purchased it last time, you won't have access to it this time
what do you mean.. it is pay only...
I'd rather 100 dust over 20k synd XP any day
And they have no plans on lifting the lifetime purchase.
Ah. Didn't realize it was lifetime purchase, TIL.
lifetime purchase means.. It will be paywalled forever
Thanks, warping normally now
If the previous Treasury was open I would have been able to unlock her 😮💨😮💨
**
This new Treasury is a Joke👎🏼
You missed the step "Jump on one foot while yelling Yalalalala!"
Yeah, I should have held my rods for the ship part refinery
All good tho. Now i know for next time.. 1k G6 rare parts to good to pass up on for some measly little officer shards
Can someone explain why the g6 armada chest mostly pay out G5... It very annoying
i assume some combination of "to ease the transition from g5 to g6" and "to make it so that the rewards look better than they are"
indeed lol, but you know there's some 66 out there without max epics who'd yell and scream if they went away at 65
By the way that was a G6 epic chest...
Maybe ops 67 will improve it and remove G5 🤷
It’s so you can build and scrap G5…. Oh wait. 🤡
Right...
I got excited for a second when I seen 5k Crystal.. Then noticed.. Oh, 💩 that is G5 and useless
oh hey ghrush gets me there, didn't realize. ty
Yeah have to use him on my ent, but can hit there for hrs before I go boom lol
I also hit the gorn there to cause I need like 1m a week now
Me no 😛
I usually win the grind event if i feel like doing it... Although someone tried to beat me last time so I brought 3 ships in while he was grinding to let him know it was useless with his one ship 🤣
That is like 50 chest in the 65 area lol
which i couldn't get to any previous invasion lol
also 50 is not a small number of hostiles
I needed these
it's not a ton, but it's an annoying amount
Dang...
hey look, the one time instant isn't terrible
I prefer the free route 😛
6, i think
How bout a bonus pass battle pass for St. Paddy's day Scopely.
I have my $20 ready
they said no
I got you the valentines day bonus bp, before I had the chance to ask for the st. patrick's day one, saw it was already requested and denied, lol
What's the biggest JOKE EVER in StFC?
Answer is 👉🏼
NSEA protector is ABSOLUTELY Useless against Sarris ship's 🤣🤣
That's like showing cream in a cake,
But being told to eat lard 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
i've got a riddle for you:
what do you call someone with all the time in the world to complain, but no time to do anything to fix his complaints?
Scopley Is fibbing With the Event Picture, " Tut Tut ..
Your problem is.. You are trying to use specialty ships like they are not designed for...
They are specialty ships for a reason.. THey do one thing well.. Everything else... Not so much
Picture is Fake/false information...
what pic?
There's two to look at LoL
at a guess, this one?
should i be mad that lat rush still shows the d'vor for me, when i'm pretty sure it'd take forever for me to do with a d'vor?
I don't even mine Clat anymore. Just do my dailies and it finishes it
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
The NSEA is also okay at killing Fatu Krey as well. Maybe he needs to upgrade it more
about 10.5 hours of mining Rlat with a d'vor to finish my SMS, yeah lol
Just because other ships are better
False advertising...🤦🏼♂️
Scopely don't even know how to play their own game, so I wouldn't go by a graphic on an event lol
Pretty sure the nsea came out with fatu but are not really used on it
What next
Battlestar Galactica, can hit cylon
Or captain Scarlett can't hit the mysterons
what, the vi'dar can't kill the borg polymadas; are you mad about that too?
it's just a game. not everything is going to match 1:1
First place you should look is at the actual ship ability
Not bad
Maybe he just needs to git gud
his is probably tier 1 or 2
The only Ship I use on a daily basis is a small maxed out Epic ent
The protector is good in spurts
Why, do you not have a G4 uncommon?>
It's better than faction ships at different levels but higher faction ships out class it all day long
I don't I have been grinding out a k't'inga
Although I did use my ent till ops 46
The g4 uncommons are not great (in my opinion)
K Tinga garbage
I was thinking about getting the kelvin ?
Take them to tier 4 and they do okay till G4 Rares
I skipped em to gun for the pilum
Valdore since you are free to play is better since the Jellyfish events will fund it till tier 9
k'tinga would let him type a sentence here between hostiles
that said, it's still better than k'tinga
If I get Val I don't have enough credits for the plum
by the time you get there you will
funny thing, you can just earn more
Or should...
shouldn't really ever stop trying to earn credits. after valdy, you want pilum, after pilum, you skip the g4 epics and go for g5 unc
yay\
you'll pick up the g4 epics eventually, so if ship completionist, it's just a delay, but they're not really worth putting effort into getting
t4 g5 unc lols at them, tbh
also, g5 uncs cost less than a g4 epic
g4 epics are like 800k credits or something, g 5 unc is 450k
1m unless you have the arena favor
Then 650k
which i don't, and barny certainly won't
Yeah very true
still annoyed that i was 171bps into tribune before i figured out i should skip it
Pushing your way through G4 is a good idea cause although it is easier than G3 ... Still garbage
's like 2/3rds of a corvus sunk into useless bp's :/
this what i have so far
Ktinga very skipable..
Terrible like the bortas
All that is still useless to me tho lol
I was going to get the k't'inga for advanced cloaking, my cent is getting old
do you even pvp barny?
i liked my k'tinga. better than a kelvin, at least
He probably tries, lol
cos cloaking ain't worth the credit cost of the cloak if you don't pvp
Sometimes,
Cheeky monkey 🐒
questionable if it's worth it if you do pvp, tbh
there's research unrelated to pvp
unless your server's REALLLLLLY into pvp
His server is against him. He is solo lol
aye, i'm not saying there isn't, just that i don't think it's worth investing in
It's in a constant war 🤷🏼♂️
Hopefully recieve Alliance Tournament rewards before the Tournament Store closes 🤦♂️
if you haven't gotten yours yet, file a CS ticket
#👽-how-to-contact-support
Should have yesterday afternoon
my current Rep
that's shockingly impressive
Online yesterday 16.00 event reset to 22.00. Logged in today at 11.00 and 16.00. No rewards recieved. Alliance finished 2nd place in Master League.
Take a screenshot and send in a ticket 🤷
Anyone have a screen shot of exchanging rare ship parts to rare ship parts. Like explorer to interceptor G6?
Just wondering if the favor is worth getting
I hope to lock roms then hit Roms for fed + Klingon Rep
Dual factioning is the way to go...
Should be hitting only in the capital cities for bps or mirror for rep
Well maybe need to hit higher now since your G4
I've been hitting Kronos for months
Kronos should source Korinar then
capital is probably the best he can do still, other than reloing to g5, and 49's cover the dailies until lock if not at lock, i'm pretty sure
Yeah I have a few 56 BP'S
Was close, but never finished grinding it
Almost free as well 😛
I still cash in armada chest so some have come from there too
I just finished scrapping my newton.
this is the 2nd one ive scrapped
soo many jellyfished died to make this happen
I've scrapped a fair few 26's
I've not scrapped a jelly
Why don’t you do the mirror systems for tri rep grinding? The lv40 MU system offers better base rep per hostile than any survey in g3/4 space. Plus a bunch of other benefits to going to mirror space for rep grinding.
Recovering trit right now so I can start exchanging it again for the sigma
Speed ups are better as well
Plus it’s making prime progress on three factions at a faster rate than you would in one via faction surveys.
My NSEA is 0 Tier I don't have any add-ons at this level
You don't use the nsea to grind there 😛
Tier 0 as in you don’t have an NSEA?
Your ent should be able to grind there
No part's for T1 I don't have Tr -D
Yeah but not D
Go to the gold area. should be able to get there
Then send NSEA to mine Trellium A and D and send your faction ship to rep grind
My Ent is only 12m
So
You’re not finding the reachable areas. You should be able to reach trell D node systems, even if they aren’t the fastest.
It's not how big it is, it's how you use it.
Listed power means nothing
a pox on g6 solo respawn rates
