[little violet]

Looks dry, but I bet it tastes good

[twilit lintel]

but they forgot something

bacon

[little violet]

Bacon might be to much with the sweet of the donut

[twilit lintel]

u can never have to much of bacon until you asre holding ur chest

so whats fo dinner tonight?

[little violet]

I had ribs

[twilit lintel]

i'm having a meatball sub with curley fries

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ribs

wait

beef or pork

[little violet]

pork

[twilit lintel]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

beef has no meAt LOL

[little violet]

They were boneless

[twilit lintel]

I dont think i ever had boneless ribs

[little violet]

Should be able to buy them at the market

I buy all my meat boneless

[twilit lintel]

ahh

i bet u eat boneless chicken wings huh

i knew this one kid back in the day he loved in bone wings

until the day a bone he ATE got stuck

[little violet]

I rather have them boneless, yes. Bone in not bad tho

[amber shadow]

hey guys..... lets talk about flashpoint and see what everyone has to say...... doubting my server will finish https://www.twitch.tv/mj_hat

[tepid lotus]

Wouldn't you rather slap a doughnut on this baby?

[twilit lintel]

[rough delta]

Wonder who's driving that truck 😂

🤣

[twilit lintel]

oh the gas

[rough delta]

Maybe they forgot the gas 😆

[woven dune]

Must be the current arc runner.

[whole robin]

so Flashpoint still a major fail

grind like heck for mediocre rewards

it'd be one thing if they were meta officers but these officers are like... only good for this arc

[woven dune]

Boy this arc is lame like apricott 😉

[neon kraken]

Yeesh

[jaunty holly]

welp, there goes my chances of completing this ferengi battlepass

full repair, after defeating 2 others, come back and die

i cant make heads of tails of it, no changes, use cloak for the extra damage boost. went one round on the win and 3 rounds on the defeat

just ugh

i got some big crits in the wins, no big crits in the defeat

[minor furnace]

Welcome to the terrible firing pattern of the Kos

You would be better off with the Cube

Firing pattern and shots make it shine with tolra

[jaunty holly]

=.=

this should be criminal

[slow isle]

made a stupid decision, time to up the difficulty lol (made sure to unlock SNW Scotty first, at least something haha)

[celest gyro]

Waiting for event to show up offer refit

[crystal dock]

3 people quit the game from my alliance this week alone. When is scopley going to learn😢

[woven dune]

Never

[harsh thunder]

Has anyone seen an CM recently or are they just hiding?

[twilit lintel]

none been on today

i have been lookin at the users on pc

maybe they dont work on weekends lol

since they do work for scopley

[short pewter]

“Weekend? What is that?” - Scopely

[twilit lintel]

lol

no coming in if u dfont get paid lol

dont

[onyx badger]

@heady moon explain to me 1 how we are ment to complete a sms that requires us to hit our lvl and above but yet the power gap in a 5 lvl difference is so high. Even with a double titan buff and ceri buff something that is 8 lvls below me is unbeatable. Then add the stupidly massive grind that takes excess of 12 hours just for 1 refine to attempt to get directives which might cover you for 1 if your lucky. Scopley devs really need to have a hard look at what the player base is at and adjust content (we didnt ask for or need) to what the player base is actually capable of.
I know im not the only one having the same problems with this content even higher ops are struggling. This is a game that we are ment to have fun with not make it a 48 hour a day job.

[frank pike]

Definitely not when they close the servers from lack of a player base then come back six months later and introduce STFC 2: the respendening

[little violet]

Where are the 63 rare?

New system?

[short pewter]

Stfc 2 will be just as buggy and each pack will cost 999.99$

[mortal spire]

Has any server finished the ims stage 3?

[crystal dock]

Not even there yet because of day 1

[little violet]

My server just made it to IMS 3

[mortal spire]

Nice, good luck on 3rd stage. Don't think it's doable

[primal glen]

The systems were over populated so they added new ones in the mid arc update. Should be the same as the 32 system attached to it. And shouldn’t be blocked. Unless it was always there and the arc mission opened it. Mine is empty though. Weird.

[slow isle]

It was for the arc mission , yeah

[crystal dock]

Well the way this is all set up everyone gives up and does their sms because it takes 3 days of hard grinding to get to them that just not fun to have unrealistic goals

[crystal dock]

I don't call adding 4 systems really adding systems

[dull mason]

I would say, it's quieter than before

[slow isle]

The 40,50,60 systems got tripled, they offer the most loot of their tier, common 40,uncommon 50,rare 60 and so

It def helped alot, now it got alot more balanced out

[dull mason]

I've not been in those system's, since the 3rd Day, and couldn't be bothered with returning,
I still have 3 unfinished Arc mission's

[whole robin]

anyone got the loot table (the chest loot) for the flashpoint invading entities?

[whole robin]

your crew sucks for one

you need gwen demarco or SNW scotty

and do not use toli he's useless

they have 5 billion mitigation stats

the meta crew is NORMAL pike (captain), Dajash Tolra, Gwen Demarco or SNW scotty (whichever has more iso cascade for you)

below decks I am using

the rares are tough but balanced, the epics are broken

equal ops epic requires max fort + fort + cerritos + fist and I'm in top 10% of players my ops lv

without all 4 of those buffs I die 100%

[little violet]

Max fort has regular fort built in

[whole robin]

it does? 🤔

[little violet]

Yes 😛

[whole robin]

I never knew that lol

I've been wasting regular fort with max fort this whole time 😄

nobody ever told me this 😄

[frank pike]

[whole robin]

well I don't exactly use max fort much though

why do they stack then 🤔

[minor furnace]

My miner leveled up in transogen token space after clearing a node and a chaser respawned on me

Was that intended?

[gilded geode]

Yes, you have to stop chasers

[hot token]

I'm guessing it was a new chaser, after stopping the original one.

[cold summit]

I did the trick and later one killed me or I didn’t have to do the trick in the first place any way I’m not really doing this event

[minor furnace]

I am so confused on how that happened

[cold summit]

Same

[minor furnace]

I am just mining to get the new artifacts. They are very useful

[cold summit]

Same

[minor furnace]

Back to work.. gotta close shop in 20

[final cove]

apparently even tho you do the ghost move, they can respawn on you if you refresh the node.

[cold summit]

lol

[final cove]

so just be mindful of what you do when you refresh your node.

[jaunty holly]

Yeah, taking 3 days to open the armada ims seems to be a misstep. They really need to rework these numbers further. Or just scrap this whole arc and go back to the drawing board.

[gilded geode]

The whole design is a misstep, that people do armadas for their SMS before the IMS opens

[jaunty holly]

Also hearing thay we are missing half the content because there is a whole associated research tree we are missing is the cherry on top of this dookie sandwich.

[gilded geode]

not sure, but the research button on the transgen building does nothing, so probably

[hallow karma]

Next month.

[jaunty holly]

Thats my guess. "It works on paper" means they probably factored in the research thats missing.

Since they are doing this as a 6 month arc.

[hallow karma]

This arc is boring. Idk if I can handle 6 months of this structure

[jaunty holly]

6 months of this is going to kill the game.

[hallow karma]

They will still find a way to implement a new grind every month

[jaunty holly]

I ain't spending 6 - 10 hours a day grinding hostiles to get 2-3 chest pulls.

[gilded geode]

nor should you, it's been at least two or three years now since new content was worth playing, it always improves within 3 months or so, just play your game and stop worrying about the latest thing

[jaunty holly]

The problem is the time demand for the rewards given.

Artifact shards! Whooooo

[humble orbit]

Should be max crit when double buffed, I'd drop vael.

[sacred swift]

I like your pfp

[solemn plaza]

It says it in the description of the ability.

[sacred swift]

Lol I dont know if you can forward this to CMs or what but it says Lighting fast instead of Lightning fast 🤣.

[gentle raft]

Good lighting is always flattering...

[sacred swift]

Lol

[sacred swift]

How do I get the federation tag

[solemn plaza]

Need to get a mod to give it to you.

[gentle raft]

👆

That

[sacred swift]

Awwwww 😞

[gentle raft]

I just asked

[solemn plaza]

When you see one just ask nice and they'll give it to you.

[gentle raft]

Im sure you can get 1

[sacred swift]

[gentle raft]

Can we get more stuff?

[gilded geode]

nicer

[solemn plaza]

What you mean "more stuff"

[gentle raft]

Is there no stfc discord tag?

[gentle raft]

More stuff for my name

To decorate

[solemn plaza]

Thats above my paid grade. I have nothing to do with any of that.

[celest gyro]

Lol

[main turtle]

To the mods here and CMs I'm sorry you have to juggle all of this I know its not your fault. Thank you for putting up with all the frustrations people are having. I know most people here realize it's not your fault either but people are just venting. This arc has been brutal for morale. Hope everyone takes a step back if they need to and chill out.

Best way to get scopely to care is to stop spending and playing maybe they'll wake up.

[timber valve]

You’re mistaken. Few content was extra grindy. There was always some workaround found with existing officers until they dropped WoK.

WoK requires the grind before you can kill a few level appropriate ones. I’ve tried with this one, but those level 66 hostiles won’t crack without boosting.

[sacred swift]

❤️ definitely not CMs or Mods faults. Honestly quite amazing theyve lasted so long when the community is sometimes so toxic. They are kindve amazing just for sticking around through the firestorms of every arc.

[timber valve]

They just pass along info to the devs who seem to toss it to the trash bin and say they heard us.

[sacred swift]

Yeah for them being ignored on the scopely side and getting yelled at by the community on the other you have to imagine their jobs must be extremely painful. The pings are beyond wild for them

If a mod sees this can I please have the federation tag? (and if you give me it respond to this so I can thank you)

[pliant narwhal]

Is their much bennefit to getting Augment faction to Exile?

[jade sable]

Can someone tell me if this crew works for invading entities pls

I dont think so but maybe im wrong

[weary mango]

u unlock some of the last levels for some of the aug researches

not sure which ones it is tho

[wraith wave]

I’ve been pretty burnt out and grumpy lately when it comes to this game. I came across this Star Trek video on YouTube, it put a smile on my face.
https://youtu.be/zNu1cdISsvY?si=2bGm-qeTv2pQwhdG

[pliant narwhal]

Thanks. Most of my Research atm seems to gated by the tier of the Reliant

[weary mango]

no hurry tho. it's quite fast to go from 60-120 just using the exchanges

[humble orbit]

Bridge officers are armada officers. Hemmer's a low value BDA.

[weary mango]

what candle is saying is, it wont work 😉

[jade sable]

But do armada officers work on the hurak?

[weary mango]

no

[jade sable]

As i understand they dont

[sacred swift]

Thank you! 🥰

[weary mango]

cuz theyre technically not armadas lol

[jade sable]

Ok, thanks. Someone in my alliance is starting to divertido me crazy

I just wanted ti make sure

[weary mango]

theyre not armadas but use armada directives 🤣

[weary mango]

let him die 6 times over

hopefully he learns after checking logs

[humble orbit]

If it says hostiles, it won't work.
If it says armadas, it won't work.
If it says BOTH hostiles AND armadas, then it will work.

An example of the latter is TorresBDA, it's fantastic there and almost anywhere.

[gleaming condor]

<@&509691205798592532> Are they ever going to raise the chance rate for research materials in forge refinery? Been pulling every day and have yet to receive any at all.

[jade sable]

I just maxed her, i love her, i use her for everything

Along with neelix

[whole robin]

anybody got the loot table for the flashpoint invading entities? specifically the chests

[humble orbit]

It's only 20%, not surprised.

[whole robin]

I can kill the 62 epics easy the 66 epics require a bunch of buffs trying to see if the buffs are worth the extra loot 🤔

[grim thistle]

He has the best speeches https://youtu.be/Jph2qWXJ-Tk?si=FEE9Ui-EY-g8LTT8

[raw merlin]

How do you get ahold of the people who run the game ?? There’s so many bugs in my game..I get get to anywhere all the events are no now unattainable

[vague edge]

check the window on the left it has categories you can write in.l

[grim thistle]

Anyone who rates the captains and doesn't put picard first is simply wrong

[minor furnace]

opinions can be offensive 🙃

[grim thistle]

More fact than opinions

[exotic kraken]

Well, Picard is a Shakespearean actor just like Kirk is William Shatner also Shakespearean actor

[paper mist]

Can someone teach scopely how to make a good game??

[grim thistle]

I will accept large debates on acceptable 2nd places however

[exotic kraken]

I would love to offer my assistance

[grim thistle]

Shatner doing Shakespeare, imagine

[paper mist]

I think everyone can

[exotic kraken]

William Shatner went to the same school as Christopher Plummer who played General Chang in undiscovered country Star Trek six

https://tenor.com/view/actor-christopher-plummer-star-trek-canada-1991-film-the-undiscovered-country-1991-films-gif-16883197240591110953

Y’all have a good one. I’ll talk to this chat later.

[weary mango]

i see they still havnt fixed daily reset lag

[grim thistle]

5am/5pm go afk for 5mins whilst server dies is norm ye

[minor furnace]

gotta love when when facts hit opinions hard

[grim thistle]

Went to same school != of same caliber

[minor furnace]

fun fact from earlier aside... I can't see shatner doing shakespere either

without hearing his shat-isms

[grim thistle]

Villians are classical Shakespearian as they have to be way more interesting than the hero

[minor furnace]

I can see Avery Brooks as one

[grim thistle]

He has the range to do it ye

[hearty narwhal]

They're not armadas, they're invading entities. Dajash Toli DeMarco,with Vael BD, BLT, Neelix, Paris, Pic Hugh. If you don't have them try 5 Gorkon Khan.

[hearty narwhal]

Gonna be about 20 years before I get 8K's worth for my Krencha 🤣

[humble orbit]

I'm hoping it picks up with more forge levels.

[hearty narwhal]

It's the same for me, and my forge is at level 67?

That's what I get in my refinery. I've only a couple of times managed to pull the 32 dust one. Btw, why is the common sooo much slower to mine than the UC or Rare, too???

[humble orbit]

The amounts are higher at least.

[weary wagon]

So I just moved to OPS 66, skipped the G6 uncommons because as most people say they are bad, but OMG, these are not much better. T5 out of the gate of my Kos'Kari, which I love the looks of and will get a Velox too since I 'banked' the mats/parts I didn't spend for the G6 Unc.

With these new loops, Augment and Flashpoint, the cargo size is DREADFUL. Why? Can this be looked at in the current paradigm of the game. I cannot get enough cargo for the time invested esp in augment space in the 62s, it took 2 hours to get 35,000 epic and I need 100,000 for a 2x pull. My Reliant won't be there for months, so this is it?

The power is there, but in the new paradigm, 3 below deck officers at T5 and trying to take on like level hostiles, the 66 dropships is painful. We won't even go into the problems with the arc, but I could kill 24 for 15.5m cargo and need 224m for a 3x pull. That's silly. Let alone ever getting the G6 rare maxed for all the below decks. The cost of it is dumb for ROI and by then you'd be needing the mats for 70. So T9 is all I will likely take each and the first one as soon as next month and upgrade my Cube too. Not sure this bodes well for the new development being done and if those number of below decks is significant disadvantage for mid G6 players.

Add in the lack of badges to promote people, and the lack of response to the problems of Flashpoint, and I feel like I am hitting 3 walls at once.

It's not a good place to be @heady moon @queen jolt

[minor furnace]

heh... Wot did I say earlier about the Kos?

[weary wagon]

Buh? I don't read this page enough honestly to see every post.

[minor furnace]

Get it tiered up to 9 so you can use your real ship: The Cube

[weary wagon]

Oh well, I will, but sometimes, best isn't the best, still will get a Velox too, maybe just switch around how I do it. Skipping the g6 unc was still the way to go, and was going to always get two rares.

[red stag]

Anyone know why this mission doesn’t start?

[minor furnace]

Yes I do agree that the g6 uncommons were substandard at best.

[steep aspen]

its based on the IMS progress, not your SMS

[red stag]

So no chance then 🤣🤣

[steep aspen]

maybe if the cut all the IMS stages in half again for next week

[whole robin]

I told them the first week they needed to reduce it by 80%

having again would be 75% less than the original which is doable but not all servers will finish

the problem right now was even if a server went all out and finished 3 there wouldn't be enough time to finish 4

and it would require the server spending thousands on directives

and the rewards just aren't worth it

oh and the new artifacts in the store are a scam they don't unlock the shards once you unlock the artifact

they want you to spend $1000 to max one artifact

[steep aspen]

what do you mean by shards? you just need to unlock the mastery artifacts to get the daily claim, and upgrading it will improve that claim

[steep phoenix]

Although the game is broken on multiple issues, still total radio silence here.
Scopely just do not car in any way

https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/509685530108362773

[stark fjord]

I just ate 6 of the bww blazin knockout boneless wings and my mouth and nose is on fire 🌶️🌶️

that btw is 2 millon scoville units

[civic geyser]

Yep allowing players to carry on with a broken event is very poor

[weary mango]

shouldnt they be fixing bugs every week

also whens alliance tourney. i assume following week

[steep phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/scopely-scopely-content-scopely-not-this-day-a-day-may-come-gif-18702278

A game company which makes his money by releasing a 24/24h game worldwide, should have employees actively working 24/24h too. Also in weekends. Especially when it comes to fixing bugs and communicating with to the community.
Scopely clearly does not have or do that.

[weary mango]

i dont think they actually need weekend work as long as they communicate immediately on weekdays

[fast jolt]

hello are there any warp range increase researches?

general ships not specialty

[minor furnace]

Field Commander Kirk has one.

Otherwise, Cadet Scotty, TOS Scotty (on explorers), and Garush on the bridge

There is also forbidden techs that increase range

[fast jolt]

thanks! Good to know!

[median whale]

This ims is some b.s no way servers are actually finishing it

[naive escarp]

apparently no one is supposed to finish it, its just there to make spenders spend.

[ashen walrus]

Galaxy - > Enhanced warp cores

[weary mango]

juat ignore it

just pretend its the saarco

complete useless

[latent monolith]

This new loop (Flashpoint) is like punishment at a women's therapeutic boarding school, where you had to clean the bathroom grout with a toothbrush every day if you had been naughty or you didn't say yes or no ma'am 🥴

[naive escarp]

this connection issue is also driving players away

[cursive harness]

Me: Survey ship, get on that node.
Survey: Ok, I’ll warp home.
M: No, stop. Cancel warp. Get on the mining node.
S: Ok, warping home.

WTPh, Scopely?
FIX. THE. BUGS.

[warm venture]

they can't.... bulk building upgrade is bugged since release....the CS tells me basically, it's my fault

I shouldn't have used that feature

[cursive harness]

I know. They don’t know how to edit old code. Once it goes live, that’s basically how it’s gonna stay.

[silver parcel]

@tawny quarry Please refrain from posting support conversations in the channels, and cross posting the same thing to multiple channels. If you have an issue with support, you can send a message to either @queen jolt or @heady moon

[gloomy narwhal]

so i went from ops 35 to 39 yesterday, and when i began to ops up, most if not all, claims from faction, refinery, gift and alliance now freezes on the reward screen, any one know a work around, besides relogging each time?

[tawny quarry]

One was a bug reported as it is a bug...other one was in galaxy chat so other players are aware of this. I re-posted without support conversation on this discord...but did post on facebook, twitter and other discords fully. Thanks.

[lusty olive]

Send too many tickets, and support wipes all tickets and will tell everyone to do it again. It’s what they do

[dull mason]

I feel Exactly, the same
Scopley is sitting on there hands,

[cursive harness]

Bug fixes aren’t an income stream.
Apparently, neither is pride in making a good product.

[weary mango]

thats quite obvious considering they hate fixing bugs apparently 😅

[dense thicket]

Hey

Guys

I am doing my daily challenge

But it's not addiing progress to it?

🥲

Anyone can help?

[subtle vortex]

So anyone done ims3 yet? 😉

[weary mango]

most servers are on it but i doubt anyone has finished

[warm venture]

Best server is at 38% of it 🙈

[weary mango]

the highest is 36% LOL

[normal elm]

a lot of us are actively ignoring it

[warm venture]

me too 🤣 especially after my 5th pull of the hurak exchange gave me once again 0 directives (which makes 0 in total)

[civic geyser]

Let it crash and burn 🔥 and hopefully they will address it

[weary mango]

nah i ignored it first minute

i knew this arc was bad the moment i saw 3 different mining rarities 😅

[crude phoenix]

well guess flashpoint for the second run is a big failure again. who wou;d have though

[warm venture]

as will be the 3rd run of trashpoint 🤷‍♂️

[civic geyser]

24th I’m led to believe

[crude phoenix]

u were told it was impossible <@&509690795536941056> u did not forward it or they did nothing with it

as per usual

[main turtle]

I'm sure they did scopely just didn't do anything.

[crude phoenix]

for all intents and purposes they are scopely as well

they get paid by them remember ;p

[main turtle]

As a community manager not a dev that can change anything xD

[crude phoenix]

ah well its a customer facing seat they themselves chose

[main turtle]

All they can do is bring what's going on to the rest of scopely and hope it gets fixed.

[crude phoenix]

so they get all the troubles. they deal with it or move on to other jobs

we dont get to talk to the devs in a straight way so this is how its gonna be

[main turtle]

Oh I know I just don't think it's there fault is all xD they can only do so much. We just need to respond by not spending that's the only way scopely will listen

[weary mango]

lol its not their fault. we've had this convo b4 😂

[main turtle]

With the amount of people I've seen quitting for the first time in years they'll either listen or the game is gonna have a lotttt less people on it

[crude phoenix]

have not seen evidence that things are being escalated. being told things are happening is not the same s things actually happening

for all we know they are just told .. "tell them we are working on it"

[weary mango]

u cant expect them to show u dms

and before they can even do that they need to ask the higher ups

[main turtle]

If you choose not to believe them when they say they've told the higher ups whats happening thats on you. You don't think scopely can see what's going on?

[crude phoenix]

then dont expect me to take their word as truth.. seeing how issues stay open

[weary mango]

thats a you problem

its already been shown many times that they do tell scopely what we say

not directly but indirectly

[hot dove]

Can expect a dev or the arc runner to post an official announcement saying they have heard our concerns from cm’s and they plan on dealing with them.
Might appease a number of players somewhat.

[weary mango]

the number of times that theres huge lag, bugs or issues that we scream about and the devs do smt about it. thats the comms and mods doing their part and passing it on

[crude phoenix]

if things dont get escalated they might not .. or do u think higher management is in this discord altogether? they look at numbers and dont see problems until someone rubs their face in it

if your direct boss doesnt fix problems theres always higher ups

[main turtle]

It's actually crazy you think the cms haven't mentioned whats going on lol. You're clearly upset which I get but it's not the cms fault.

[crude phoenix]

some take that route to great effect.. some lose their job and some sit there and niothing changes

[weary mango]

its like blaming the waiter for giving you bad food 🤣

[crude phoenix]

if i send that steak back 3 times already and they give me the same steak thats prob on the waiter too since he sees it being put on the plate for the third time

then hes ok with me being dishonesty served

[weary mango]

and what if the waiter cant go into the kitchen. what if the cooks just bad

you still will blame the waiter?

[main turtle]

This is by far and away the worst arc scopely has released I'm very sure when the cms say they're letting there higher ups know what's going they are doing just that lol

[crude phoenix]

with the history of bad arcs id say thats a bit of a stretch

[weary mango]

nah this is the worst

[crude phoenix]

it seems to be a structural thing where player worries are not adressed.. and that either means scopely doesnt care or the CM's dont do their job

[weary mango]

if you cant tell this is the worst by far then you've obviously just started or just came back from break

[lusty olive]

If I made one mistake working, people can die. I need to be in the gaming industry. Zero accountability

[crude phoenix]

not by far the worst but so far

[weary mango]

wrong. u need to be in scopely 😂

[main turtle]

I've been playing since 2022 I've never seen over 10 active players quit from an arc before. Players that have spent 1000s and are in the 60s. This has been the worst arc so far.

[weary mango]

the numbers are showing too

[main turtle]

Just talking about from my server but the data is there 1000s have stopped logging in this month lol

[lusty olive]

Participants on our server is at an all time low. I’m placing in slbs I usually don’t. Ones I don’t care about. It’s bad

[weary mango]

even rev has said about 10k active players have quit from the end of the last arc to now

and thats from using stfc.pro

the numbers might not be 100% accurate but its close enuf

[main turtle]

Yea I'm guessing it's going to double or triple with how this has continued

[weary mango]

everytime i see that guy hes blaming CMs 😂

[main turtle]

I feel bad for anyone who actually got convinced to move I to g6 like scopelys been pushing. These new slbs require g6 only materials if your a 61 you are screwed lol

[viscid vortex]

I put up a 14 day. To decide if I leave or not permanently myself.

[weary mango]

14 day is a thing?

[weary mango]

im still 60

a lot of my other alliance mates that moved from 56 are also camping 60

[viscid vortex]

I had 4 now 3 in my inventory. Lol

[lusty olive]

This game is purely on AI mode now. They have abandoned it in a way. People need to understand that.

[main turtle]

It's not worth moving up stay and enjoy what you can lol

[weary mango]

yes sirrrr. i know how bad it is up there 🤣

[solid kayak]

shoulda waited to go to 61+ after g7

[weary mango]

tbh the only reason to move up may be selkie but thats it

[weary mango]

thats my plan

hopefully ill get most of my stuff that i want by the time g7 drops but im also assuming they wont make g6 economy better immediately

[main turtle]

I'm ops 64 and have a t14 cube. I'm ranked 34th for all 64 ops players. I'm researched well and have good crews and even I'm struggling. They just expect you to be strong out the gate. While giving you terrible ships like the g6 uncommons.

[weary mango]

i heard its your fault for struggling

just saying 😂

[main turtle]

Pretty much that's how scopely wants people to think lol

[lusty olive]

The content is passing people too fast. Even being top in one’s ops isn’t a guarantee anymore

[weary mango]

actually, i bet they play with maxed out uncs. t18 and everything

[main turtle]

I'm able to take down the 63 rare mada but the epic blows me away

[crude phoenix]

they play with maxed out officers at day 1 of arcs i guess

😛

[main turtle]

These new armada have a crazy power scale it feels borderline broken

[weary mango]

they do. they also use the new ship thats why the milestones are ridiculous sometimes

it seems the best lvls to camp are the lvls u unlock a new ship

56 was really easy, 60 so far the hostile stuff are also really easy

but im just not doing this arc 😛

[crude phoenix]

cannot camp since they force u to move on eventually.. dunno how they are gonna force ppl past G6 cause thats is a nightmare speedup wise

g7 might as well be last they bring.. unless they can justify ppl with kelvins being smashed by enterprise-j's 😛

[weary mango]

u can camp. its not like the devs hold a gun to your face and tell you to move up orr you disappear from existence

its just how much patience do u have 😂

[main turtle]

Soon as you hit g6 its like it resets the game for you and makes things much harder sms wise. It's the only game I've played where leveling up actually makes you feel weaker and punishes you more. Chest pulls are more expensive as well. Freebooters don't count for the new dailies etc.

[lusty olive]

It’s as if we are all on a curve. Some players are so strong, they upset the curve and everyone suffers imo.

[weary mango]

sigmas a painnnnnn

probably

[main turtle]

Sigma is annoying but Sigma speed ups are even more annoying

1 day Sigma speed up is 1.5m lat

[weary mango]

i plan on just camping 60 and grinding mirror 68 and stock up on speed ups for a while

[viscid vortex]

Sigma is a pain until you can get the speed ups thru hitting 70's

[weary mango]

i can kill about 50 68 hostiles rn

[main turtle]

So you have to farm in mirror and hope you get Sigma speed up drops sometimes you get none out of 100 kills

[weary mango]

i got 2 15hr from my run yst

[warm venture]

only the speed ups so far..... events give a good mats and rss income in g6

That's for going to shipyard 66 btw

[main turtle]

Now imagine ships that are literal months to speed up lol same for buildings etc as you go higher.

[weary mango]

ew 😂

i heard its a few days per building at low lvl?

[main turtle]

Yea it starts off semi okay if you are patient but jumps quickly

[weary mango]

i see how the extra builder helps now

too bad i aint buying it

[warm venture]

ops64 is ~17 days for me.... except pay only artifacts and primes I have all building speed stuff on max

[lusty olive]

69 buildings ftp are just a nightmare. I watched hanger go the full 45 days.

[main turtle]

I just leveled my operations to 65 and even with exos and research it was over 30 days so I'm just letting it sit there

[crude phoenix]

the level of spending on ppl who went 70 fast is mindboggling if u know how much LAT went into speeding lol

[weary mango]

i havnt done an ounce of the rss building effic

[warm venture]

great thing for me: I used buld building upgrade on the exo fab and therefore have now no access to the g5 exos....so I have to use the g4 speed ones

[viscid vortex]

They probably sold a ton of sigma speed up packs to all those 70's in game.

[weary mango]

im planning on doing it before going u

[hoary folio]

This is me at ops 49..

[weary mango]

probably just a lot of packs

[weary mango]

thats not that bad cuz 1 speed up is just 300 lat

[warm venture]

720k lat....thats 12h in Sigma-speedups 🤣

[hoary folio]

I know I have spent 8m lats in 2 days upgrading building and research in 2 days 😁

[main turtle]

On a good day of farming Romulus mirror I'll get maybe 400 chests or 500 if I have time. And of all that I'll be lucky to get 5 days of speed ups very rarely I'll get more or sometimes less.

[weary mango]

thats not a lot. i burnt 10mil in 12 hours before 😂

im not even g6 yet

[hoary folio]

Hey, I'm lazy... I win 😂😂

[weary mango]

they seriously need to increase the amount of sigma speedups from hostiles if they want us to move up faster

they keep saying "move up faster" and then dont give us the necessary stuff to help with moving up

[main turtle]

That and Sigma refining is painfully slow

[hoary folio]

I'm stuck on 4* UC Gas.. Too bad game doesn't account intestine gas for game..

[lusty olive]

Everyone should probably get their away teams going. Especially rares and epics. We are due for that event. My guess is the last sms in this Scotty meta

[weary mango]

i'll have probably about 700t trit to convert to sigma but i heard games more likely to EOS than for me to finish converting all of it 🤣

[hoary folio]

I don't have that sigma thing 😭

[warm venture]

a single run (30min) in Mirror Romulus gives me between 1 and 7 15h speed ups.... if the spread would be smaller (let's say 5-7) it already would make a huge difference....
One of the new artifacts now gives a daily claim...... 3 1h speed ups...... this is a bad joke

[hoary folio]

They introduced so many things, my tiny brain overheats

[weary mango]

everything with scopely is a bad joke

[warm venture]

well refinery was never good.... even at g4 or g5 the mats came from events not the refinery 😅

[weary mango]

do what u want, skip the rest. its how i do things 😂

[hoary folio]

Ok

[main turtle]

They want people to simultaneously spend 100s of dollars a month on this game while also playing it more then an MMO. There is so much to grind its insane.

[weary mango]

yea i skipped a few days worth of refining stuff before

i mean its good but its not great 😅

[warm venture]

the current spend-mats is the last for scotty meta.... it goes for 2 days

[hoary folio]

I skipped this game for 2 years 😂 😂

[lusty olive]

According to the times, there is 1 day after

The heroic meta is 1 day longer than the spend one

[warm venture]

yes....that's always so....becuase after a SMS ends, players have 24h time to collect the rewards and it doesn't count for the meta before collecting

[lusty olive]

Don’t give up yet. I won’t do the spend, so hopefully I can make it at the end

[vocal kindle]

lmfao this transogen dust at 20% pull is a joke. a week in and still not 1 successful dust pull

[hoary folio]

Happened to me today

I took 4 days mining ⚒️

[lusty olive]

There will be one more sms. But it won’t be easy

Clever design to trick people into spending

[warm venture]

metas are always 1 day longer then the events that score for it

[vocal kindle]

i guess they dont really want people to do the jump drives, because the only way you are going to get them is to buy them, would take 60 days to get it if we just got minimum every day, but since no one is getting dust from the pulls its going to take years

[night frigate]

https://gyazo.com/e2f59685228783284ca74cfb4f560e49

Is this broken?

I just did 5 x 66Rare and even after a restart... We still have 0 points accumulated

[warm pivot]

yeah, but they wont admit it

[night frigate]

Sounds about right really

[warm pivot]

instead its the players that imagin stuff, gaslighting ya know

[night frigate]

Yeah, I just imagine doing that Hurak Vanguard as well as other alliances/friends and imagined we have 0 points for the server

https://gyazo.com/9384233e90aa48545b30e72d6f7bf500

NOT REALLY THERE!!!

[main turtle]

I think the most painful thing here is the mostly silence from scopely. I know the cms are doing there best. Just stinks to hear nothing from the devs while this event is very clearly a massive failure.

[night frigate]

Don't know what you are talking about

THe game is working as intended.... And events are working as intended....

Ask Eco

[main turtle]

I'm witnessing the most players I've ever seen quit on my server because of this arc and there is no end in sight. No lifeboat to rescue us nothing to give us much hope things will get better.

[molten hollow]

Didn’t see one in calendar, not done spend yet, in 2 minds.

[night frigate]

I use to buy numerous packs a month

Now I am down to BP only

Stopped a few months ago when things really took a turn for the worse

I even joked a few times I needed help trying to buy a pack so I could talk to someone regarding an issue that did not involve buying a pack

No response, they just don't care

[main turtle]

At least star trek online still exists if you have console or pc. I used to think that was a pay 2 win game then I played this 🤣

[lusty olive]

True. But they have never ever added or changed events in this game in 7 years also.

[molten hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/that-was-sarcasm-anti-mixtape-i-was-being-sarcastic-i-wasnt-serious-gif-24122833

[lusty olive]

Many are waiting on one more chance. If they don’t come through, there’s more players that will hang it up.

[warm venture]

Exactly...they never changed events...and metas have always been one day longer then all the SMS for it....
So either that 1 extra event starts today or there won't be one 😅

[crude phoenix]

ah well interesting to see what will be done after their famous "meetings with the team" right <@&509690795536941056> :?

[exotic kraken]

☕

https://tenor.com/view/do-tell-tell-me-more-sips-tea-gif-22861578

[main turtle]

I don't know about you but I really really really appreciate the SLB that gives special ferengi tokens as a reward if you managed to place top 3. It's so cool to win that reward and discover you have to spend more money to use them lol

[night frigate]

It's about time Scopely got some new staff, I know that

[exotic kraken]

I volunteer as tribute

[lusty olive]

It’s a win win for me. 5 of us who have been playing since the beginning will leave forever if they didn’t. We committed to this being our last straw. Scopley won’t care of course, but we are the backbone of our server.

[exotic kraken]

Promise to help everyone

[warm venture]

yep....also on my server some players that I know from the beginning have left thanks to trashpoint

[lusty olive]

In a few weeks we will,officially have a pure ftp at ops 70. Kudos. Not all high ops players are whales. Many just apply hard core ftp with minor spending

Those would be the weak 70`s 😂

[warm venture]

sure! I was also just a low spender (the normal elite BP for 20 Euros a month and 2nd builder/research queue is all I brought)
Since more then a year now I'm playing fully f2p

[exotic kraken]

I’m just happy to be here

[crude phoenix]

the problem is ppl still spending thousands on this game regardless of quality ;p

[exotic kraken]

That is true, but they want to do what they wanna do

Who are we?

I just like STFC that’s why I’m here

[dusky cove]

Zero servers on track to finish the invasion again, perhaps the devs should do another insulting Q&A to drive up engagement?

[crude phoenix]

honestly what do u like about stfc ...

[exotic kraken]

I wish I was there for that, but was busy

[dusky cove]

Because in the metrics they're using this arc is a giant succes. Due to the absurd time grinding their "engagement" number increased and with the vengeance events etc. I'm sure their income is also doing well

[exotic kraken]

I like the infinite language and it successfully nature q and a

[crude phoenix]

the what

[exotic kraken]

Cat got on the keyboard lol

Cat name is jinx

[vocal kindle]

thats ok, it was 1 question then a bunch of memes and poop jokes for 15 mins then a genewric answer. it was absolutely a joke

[exotic kraken]

Just scheduled it

[lilac ledge]

Wow! And this is with the "corrected " targets AND double points for dropships.

[dusky cove]

They doubled the armada points, the fact that the top server only got around 25% and so doubling that wouldn't put them anywhere close to finishing stage 3 eludes their math

[lusty olive]

The greed hasn’t bothered me much this year. It’s the recent targeting of players who are clever enough to beat their system that got me. There are many players who actually did 4 of the heroic sms`s free. No money. Scopley I reckon has had enough. The mat switcharooo on spend events is tied to that. They were not making what they wanted, so they started targeting the older players who know how to play.
No more

[exotic kraken]

I like a Space Marine and a like Spartan and Admiral of Iron I adapt and overcome and overlast and know when to respect everyone I learn this from Star Trek Fleet Thank you Community 🧡

[dusky cove]

But looking at the "known issues" channel I do feel mods/CM should just list this arc there since I think the only STFC bug I haven't seen yet this arc is players being reset to ops 1

[lilac ledge]

The big problem is that stage 1 and 2 IMS were so hard that active playes completed sms and went on to stage 3 sms using theor hard earned directives but they didnt count to IMS. Will be intersting to see if the total number of armadas played would have been enough, if they all counted

[dusky cove]

And any experienced player could, and many of us did, tell them that they should just have used concurrent scoring like with engage where you could earn points but only collect the rewards once a goal was reached

[exotic kraken]

#1357067528865845438 I left a note for anyone with no tag or 🏷️ later all ty

Have a good one galaxy 🌌

[lusty olive]

Should have been 3 stages only. That way the IMS could have tied into the sms kinda. But Scopley isn’t thinking clearly

[exotic kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/janestree-gif-15218242402081882149

[dusky cove]

Between the PR disaster they presented as a Q&A, 2 failed runs back to back and a clear unwillingness to listen to players I'm honestly unsure how they can save this loop even if they wanted to. The grind was turned up to 12, the rewards are a joke and an active effort seems to have been made to make the user experience as frustrating as possible both from a design as well as a technical issues standpoint.

[timber valve]

Last month’s grind still requires a lot of work to move forward, but somehow that time sink wasn’t enough so they tripled the grind this month. That on top of the normal grind needed to progress.

[dusky cove]

They mainly messed up with the officer tier events, the rep grind was less of an issue as there was no rush. Well until they decided to make Joachim near mandatory this arc

[timber valve]

Officer SLB/SMS change for the officer seemingly required for this arc was one hell of a bad decision out of many bad decisions taken this month.

[warm pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/it's-great-in-theory-but-brian-lagerstrom-only-works-on-paper-doesn't-quite-work-like-that-gif-14982409720171618797

[dusky cove]

Oh yeah, they really seemed to have taken the most player unfriendly choice in every decision they made for this arc.

Complaining about this arc is this arcs most fun part really

[deft drum]

Game is falling apart, lag is up, game crashing is rampant, and Scopley is turning a blind eye on the players. So when do we start taking bets on when the game dies?

[main turtle]

I feel bad for anyone who was tricked into jumping into g6 and dealing with g6 material only slbs lol

[weary mango]

that feels like dejavu

[red stag]

Anyone know if this helps against the hurak vanguard entity’s?

[weary mango]

now that i think about it. one alliance on my server has a lot of their players go from 59 to 61 in one go lol

[weary mango]

ye it will

[timber valve]

Ouch, that’s not a great decision unless you max that G5 epic before doing the jump.

[slow isle]

OPS59 really was the sweet spot for this

60 gets the bigger milestones already

[weary mango]

they didnt

their epics r smaller than mine lol

i heard lvl 62 has a mat chest that gives a lot of g5 mats so maybe thats what they tryna do

[main turtle]

Leveling up into the g6 realm is truly the first time where I feel like the game makes you feel weaker. The unc g6 are nothing like the unc g5. G6 unc are incredibly bad and basically just good to get to t9 for your cube lol

[weary mango]

t14

t9 is g4 lvl i think

[timber valve]

As much hate as the G6 unc ships gets, they’re not completely horrible, but by the time you get one to T9, you’re close to the rares.

[main turtle]

Oh I mean t9 on the g6 unc so you can get your cube to t14

The g6 unc would be better if the seating wasn't so bad

[hallow moss]

Question ❓ to my higher level players in +61 ops... Do we have any anti-Cube specific research for base attacks?

[main turtle]

The cube is arguably a must in g6 imo. Its cheaper to repair has more seats and has insta warp its really a work horse and anyone who skips it is hurting themselves in the long run imo

[weary mango]

u talking about research that could kill a cube during base defense?

[hallow moss]

Yes

[weary mango]

anything that says "battleship" and does not specify a faction

[weary mango]

but i think priority of base defense is defense crew, guns, research

[main turtle]

This can help a little but basic base defense etc. If the cube is super big it's getting in either way

[hallow moss]

Yes understand... We have specific research for FKR ships nothing for the Cube

[weary mango]

yea the cube got nothing specific

just generic battleship stuff

[hallow moss]

Why is the cube so protected?

[weary mango]

i can kill most cubes up to the g6 rare tier cube. cant kill anything higher

[main turtle]

Sadly tal doesn't work on it either

[weary mango]

its an independent ship

its not "protected" it just gets benefits

pros and cons imo

[main turtle]

The cube is designed to get to end game level 70 content so it's a beefcake.

[weary mango]

it loses out on anything that says "faction"

[hallow moss]

Potato potato

[weary mango]

the vengeance says otherwise lol

[main turtle]

True but that's new xD

[weary mango]

but every independent ship gets benefits lol

so yea its not protected at all

whats protected is the stupid cutting beam that gets a reduction every lvl 😂

[slow isle]

Isn't there a screenshot floating around of a cube killing one of those, both levelled? 🙈

[main turtle]

The cube has weaker hazard resistant so it does suffer in some areas

[weary mango]

yea

oh lol its still on my clip board

[hallow moss]

Most of the base attack research you've done means nothing 🤦

[slow isle]

and doesn't even work on many new hostiles anymore lol

[weary mango]

base defense also lol

the only useful one might be the shield increase stuff

[main turtle]

All of it went out the window when they added a prime that let's you skip defense rounds. It's been getting worse since imo

[weary mango]

yea exactly so whats the point 🤣

[main turtle]

Granted now you can counter that prime is just silly

[weary mango]

yea prime is meh

but i got it

spent my AT stuff on it

[hallow moss]

Someone with a 100b cube entering a system😮‍💨

[main turtle]

Before they added that prime a Pon setup with tal to burn people down actually had whales struggle to crack bases sometimes so they had to take away any hope of small players defending

[weary mango]

once u get to 66 plats i think u kill everything

but vengeance might be a issue now

[hallow moss]

The whales moaned like little kids, and they removed stuff that helped smaller guys

[main turtle]

I've seen full cubes one shot 68s still with defense on

[weary mango]

yea the whales moan too much

[main turtle]

Curious how vengeance will change things

[weary mango]

like how they moan about the jelly and pon giving pon 72% to delay their shots

and even after adding sloan skill they still didnt change it back

dum sheet

[main turtle]

They made p/m/tal useless against the cube to counter him

[weary mango]

they made tal useless against anyone above 60 lmfao

dum

[main turtle]

100%

Can't have the peasants defending themselves can we lol

[hallow moss]

Peasants are seen as food 🤣

[weary mango]

whales are meant to win

duhhhh

[main turtle]

There use to be some semblance of crew knowledge winning out vs all out spending back in the day. But times have changed.

You can still smack someone with bad crew etiquette but it's not as easy now

[weary mango]

tryna get ppl on my server to crew test is so hard lol

maybe i shld relo out of tc

[weary mango]

last time using tal can stop ppl from cracking u so easily

but technically they still live

[hallow moss]

This used to be about crew knowledge, now it's if you buy a Chaos Tech you beat so many levels above you🤣🤣🤣

[weary mango]

slipstream lol

but ig its f2p now

f2p for ops 60 and above that is

[main turtle]

I love that there way of balancing tal was literally just to make no officer work with them for defense lol

[weary mango]

yea literally no fun

[hallow moss]

But how many shards can you buy per day?

[main turtle]

Realistically one a day for me with a t8 reliant

[signal pewter]

Like 200 days for f2p slipatream

[main turtle]

Yea pretty much

[signal pewter]

Waste of time I'm doin favors

[weary mango]

😂

thats a good idea

[main turtle]

Same I did get glavin though

Anything iso damage boosting is a must basically

[weary mango]

yea i got glavin

working on tantalus rn

tantalus is 100 days ish

i got enuf to double everyday

[slow isle]

that's a great one and goes super fast maxxing after unlocking thanks to DTI

[main turtle]

Tantalus looks nice

[weary mango]

ill do the other favours once i get tantalus

need it for arenas

[signal pewter]

Spend all the epic loot and get slipstream in like 9 months or get all the efficiencies and have the next grade ships done. Didn't seem like a hard choice

[hallow moss]

Don't say 100 days, say 3months 🤣

[main turtle]

Arena is such a hot mess I just go in and buff the best player we have lol

[signal pewter]

I haven't bothered with arena since the 2nd run of public

Lost pretty much all motivation for this game now

[weary mango]

thats for u big bois

[main turtle]

I love when I do arenas with 2 other people ops 64 and below and we vs 68-70 lol

[weary mango]

me small guy goes again small ppl and we skirmish 😂

[signal pewter]

At 66 u just gotta hope there's a good 70 on ur team

[main turtle]

When I know I'm beat I just venom there best play and buff ours and hope for the best lol

[weary mango]

only problem with that is venom works once every 1min or smt

insta repair exists unfortunately

[main turtle]

Yea

I just run a loot crew and spam madas lol

[pine phoenix]

So they changed the hurak armada score again
Was getting double points do them yesterday now not anymore
What for scam

[weary mango]

i usually play as carry so im not usually running the madas

i met one team last arena where they took 10mins and still couldnt get to 1k points

[hallow moss]

Anything that benefits us will be removed immediately..😮‍💨

[signal pewter]

0 rares on our server. Haven't scored a single point on that

[main turtle]

I quit for several months so I'm behind on the iso damage needed for Arena. Finally hit 300% but need lots more

I'm behind on a decent chunk of stuff honestly they do very little to help returning players lol

[pine phoenix]

This trashpoint is garbage
The team behind it needs be fired for insulting player

[signal pewter]

Pointless to complain. All falls on deaf ears. Always been like this

[weary mango]

especially syndi

a lot of stuff in syndi is rlly good

especially iso nonsense

[main turtle]

Missing a solid 45% from there I'm only just now 50 syndicate

[weary mango]

i came back after 2 years and after a year or 2 of playing im only at 45 syndi

[signal pewter]

They heard our feedback! Next arc will have more of exactly what everyone says they dont want!

[main turtle]

The dti store has helped me catch up a lot

[weary mango]

https://tenor.com/view/ryan-reynolds-goddammit-damn-hitmans-bodyguard-hitmans-bodyguard-gifs-gif-8352668

[pine phoenix]

Rev say easy for f2p go syndi 58 😂

[weary mango]

yea thats bs 😂

if he means easy as in a few years yes

[main turtle]

I mean if they play for a few years sure lol

[weary mango]

if easy means within a year or so nah

the messed up thing is low lvls also get the same 200k syndi rewards from the SLB

so theres ppl at 40 or 50 that got more syndi than me

[signal pewter]

All the primes I've gotten free now I've been gaining about 1 lvl per month with those and the events

[main turtle]

I saw a 64 on Arena with 515% iso damage on there 5 B rotarran recently lol

[weary mango]

i think ill gain 1 lvl every 2 months now

[weary mango]

mega whale

even my server doesnt have 500% iso except on 70s

[main turtle]

Yea I know well researched 70s that didn't have that much on there rotarran lol

[weary mango]

thats ridiculous lmao

[worldly phoenix]

Scopely: let’s give them a slow grind to get insta-warp for faction ships.
Players: okay, we didn’t ask for that but okay. How will be access the feature?
Scopely: from your common transogen refinery.
Players: oh great, will it be guaranteed in the refinery?
Scopely: no! it will be 16 times harder to source than prime medallions.
Players: but I need 1600 for a instawarp refit in the refinery!
Scopely: we are acutely aware and are balancing gameplay.

True story!

[main turtle]

This was taken before the new artifacts too

So I'm sure there iso is much higher now lol

[weary mango]

oh my god

wait hows that possible 😂

[main turtle]

I think maybe there is arena research that buffs it but I'm honestly not 100% sure

Needless to say I didn't scratch the paint and they had over 90b power destroyed

Arena is such a crazy place because if you got in early and ranked up you get extra benefits to beat people just starting to join it even easier.

There is no balance I've got up against 65k rating players with 200 rating players lol

[slow isle]

and FC Khan, he also buffs iso in arenas

[main turtle]

He does but I don't believe it shows up on the ship Stat page so he actually most likely has more then 510%

[weary mango]

oh fc khan gives 50%

no he does

he gives straight to base the moment u enter arena

[main turtle]

Oh sweet

[weary mango]

so for me i have 160 or smt before and enter its 210

im close to 200 now and ive yet to max glavin

[main turtle]

It's nuts looking at how strong khan is compared to dated commanders

[weary mango]

haha fc locutus 🤣

[main turtle]

😭

He's amazing for the rotarran still at least lol

[weary mango]

yea probably

[main turtle]

They need to either buff the old fleet commanders or make them easier to level lol

[weary mango]

i havnt tried him

also sucks his skills need the CC i think 55?

or smt

the interceptor skills that increase shots

[main turtle]

Yea the old commanders need weird stuff and lots of rare points

They require way more effort for usually less reward

[slow isle]

eugh, those damn rares, at least there is a new uncommon artifact now that helps with rares and skill points cost for those older commanders

[dull mason]

Scopley 👆🏼

[weary mango]

sucks more cuz theyre gate keeping the unlocks of the skills to the cc lvl

at least the new commanders only need commander lvl to unlock the skill but at some point it locks due to cc lvl which is fine cuz at least u unlocked it alr

[main turtle]

The command center levels are so painful ugh

[weary mango]

only for 5000 of the thingy or smt i forgot

[main turtle]

Right up there with war room for me. Since I quit for several months my war room is sooooo far behind

[weary mango]

the s31 helps a bit but not by much imo

my war room is 10 lvls behind someone 21 lvls low than me 🤣

[dull mason]

I don't have the s31 or any BP's

[main turtle]

I think mine is just 21 lol

[weary mango]

section 31, waves and nonsense

mines 25 😂

[main turtle]

I will say the solo waves were a welcomed addition lol

[lusty olive]

Maxing the premium dust tree for iso and the new build an put a 64 well over 500% iso damage. No secret

Just too much money 😂

[main turtle]

Yea it's a lot of cash for sure

[lusty olive]

Kinda stupid

[weary mango]

its ridiculous lmao

[main turtle]

They want to have the good feeling of punching up most likely yet they are no different then a big 70 whale lol

[lusty olive]

That amount of money would build a velox that would decimate that rot

Not to mention epics 😂

[main turtle]

I almost guarantee you that rot would beat any 66 rare

[lusty olive]

Not mine. No chance in helllll

[main turtle]

Even some of the epics not well researched

[dull mason]

You can Solo standard wave's..
I do one level a Time

[slow isle]

all these slots below deck, they count for alot

[weary mango]

nah barney thats a u problem lol

[lusty olive]

Exactly. Mine isn’t t9 or t11. No g5 epic better come ner my, velox 😂

[main turtle]

The rot and interceptor strike team mixed with the new officers is absolutely disgusting. That players rot will beat way more than people think lol

There is a reason I made this lol

[weary mango]

int st completely maxed can decimate most other stuff

add slipstream and sorans T and itll kill even more stuff

explorer just loses on every front

or explorer st at least

[main turtle]

It's a sad joke how bad explorer strike team is honestly

[latent monolith]

there was an arc that was so bad for a really long time. Deepest point of negativity ever. The infamous and most hated arc (worms). Now Scopely does it again with Flashpoint, history always repeats itself 🥴

[solemn plaza]

As more people get qsd it'll make sorans less important. It'll go back to qsd/q canon

[lusty olive]

Interceptor ST isn’t best anymore for some of us. A few players are beyond that now

[main turtle]

Yea if you have enough iso going full ham round one works really well

[weary mango]

U shielding i think

the iso def boost is nice

but slipstream is niche for now since only g6+ can get it f2p including 60s

anything lower and good luck killing the 62s lol

and even at 60 its a slow grind to kill the 60s

[weary mango]

way too high 🤣

thats whale talk

[somber cave]

Looks like stage 3 will not be completet again 40% is the highest right now

[main turtle]

Everyone's a whale to someone these days lol

[weary mango]

was 36 a few hours ago

[main turtle]

I remember when someone spending any amount of cash on a f2p made them a whale xD

Now there are levels lol

[somber cave]

134 and 86 are at 40%

[lusty olive]

500% iso damage. I’m not worried about INT strike teams, there are bigger threats 😂

[weary mango]

whale for me is like 69/70

especially 70 😂

[solemn plaza]

So what's a 70 with a maxed Vengeance then?

[main turtle]

Ultra whale xD

[lusty olive]

T5 tuvac on bridge is scary, not ST

[main turtle]

I don't judge what people put into the game honestly everyone has there vice

[weary mango]

too much money for their own good

[weary mango]

thats for high high pvp

low pvp doesnt seem to work as well

[lusty olive]

Yes. When you’re facing the big boys, gotta get creative

[weary mango]

esp when hg worf doesnt crit as much lol

[lusty olive]

T5, they decimate

[weary mango]

whats tuvok again, iso?

the OA

[lusty olive]

ISO

Cascade

[solemn plaza]

Cumulative iso cascade per shot

Probably broken as all hell on a big cube

[lusty olive]

Understatement

[sharp egret]

Here is calculation for mining. My building is lvl10 now. The most optimal is to mine rare transogen.
This is stage 4 of level 60.
46,000,000 score points / 10 rare score = 4,600,000 rare trasogen / 165,000 per h = 28h of mining.
This is so funny

[arctic iris]

Is there any stats on the Hurak Vanguard? I cant seem to finds them on SFTC database

[weary mango]

yours is only 46mil points?

hah you're lucky 😂

mines 382mil 🤣

[sharp egret]

lol. this is aprils fool month they started in jully

[weary mango]

i prob wanna try that when my tuvok is big enuf

might be funny on the rot

[lusty olive]

That’s why the vengeance will never beat the cube because of officers like Tuvac. Scopley wasn’t thinking

Best vs best of course

[solemn plaza]

Probably works best on the cube due to the rnd1 being all 4 guns.

[solemn plaza]

Gonna take a lot of waves to max 7 and tuvok

[weary mango]

oh thats true ig

does it stack? it does right? for 4 rounds or smt

[solemn plaza]

Stick a maxed Icheb below decks too. Iso for days.

[solemn plaza]

Stacks for 3 rounds.

[lusty olive]

Yep. Tuvac and icheb are done. But my 7 is only t4

[solemn plaza]

3 rnds on cube is 10 guns

[weary mango]

oh 3 rounds thats not bad

[solemn plaza]

Also need to max FC khan.

[weary mango]

my pvp on khan is mostly maxed i think

[solemn plaza]

I've slacked on khan due to spending insignia on research.

[solemn plaza]

P1 shred research probably also a good thing to work on as well.

[weary mango]

oh yes

shame the iso def in the ata tree only works for hostiles and armadas

[solemn plaza]

Yeah but max Joachim LD is pretty solid.

[weary mango]

ye hes too good

but people are gonna start maxing him soon so everything gonna become balanced in 1-2 more months

[fading belfry]

have they messed up the warp ranges again? a few of the folks in my alliance with different types of ships can't get to where they used to today?

[solemn plaza]

No. Most common cause of warp issues is removing FC Kirk from the chair.

[warm pivot]

or not having command center on 60 for his last warpskillpoint 😭

[fading belfry]

one of the guys is an op 70. but I mentioned the cc incase it glitched and kirk passed out and fell out of his chair. he's not as young as he used to be. lol

[weary mango]

probably they arent strong enough

[fading belfry]

we found one of the issues. ticket is being submitted. looks like the ex-borg nx-01 warp favor reset its self back and removed his warp range for that ship? very strange. so if your nx-01 suddenly can't get to where it did earlier, check your ex-borg favor. who knows... 🤷

[fading belfry]

it's going to take me years to get there. lol. the cc has ground to a halt

[split storm]

So, glad to see how many server are able to finish this flashpoint

[mossy ice]

They obviously adjusted from last event!

[subtle vortex]

This is actually funny. They are so out of tune with the game they make that this is the level of decision making they make! 🤣

[mossy ice]

No one has earned the sense of pride and accomplishment this week. Try again next.

[subtle vortex]

Will get worse every run as people will just not bother if it's impossible

[fading belfry]

when they adjust the numbers again, hopefully they take into account how many folks are not going to bother trying a 3rd time. they also may want to consider putting in some real rewards for the next attempt

[weary mango]

they arent that smart unfortunately

[dusky cove]

We all know how flashpoints can be redeemened but I don't doubt those who make the shots are too arrogant to make said choices

And keep in mind they expect people to spend time and money on this loop for half a year

[solid kayak]

no redemption planned

[subtle vortex]

Directive sourcing is rubbish, scoring from said armadas is even worse. And that is after you get past the monotonous grind of parts 1 and 2. It's just not good gameplay by any stretch of the imagination

[weary mango]

the amount of loot from each hostiles is horrible

i think its a hundred or smt hostiles to get enuf to exchange for a 3 chest at my lvl

not sure if the hostile chest drops the currency needed to open the chest for the A dirs

[fading belfry]

I've moved on to other parts of the game. going to pass on the 3rd retry unless there are some major, major changes

[weary mango]

thats if theres a 3rd retry 🤣

[warm venture]

IIRC the chest gives you 10times the loot, the hostile has

[civic geyser]

I hope not

[warm venture]

not sure, as I haven't killed any the last 2 days.... after not getting any directives from the exchange, I stopped bothering with these events

[weary mango]

hm probably less than that then but still i aint grinding for allat

[warm venture]

No, i think the 60ties have 3200 in cargo + 32000 in the loot chest.... but for me it's still a massive grind and as long as there is a chance to go out empty from the exchange, I'll invest my playtime with more meaningful stuff then trashpoint

[brittle ivy]

Now I’m wondering, is the team behind Flashpoints the same that created and “maintained”
Arenas? The timing and similar arrogance is suspicious…

[weary mango]

no clue but someone should make a meme for the "you're took weak" the devs said

[fading belfry]

I wonder if the folks that set the milestones for the events are the ones that develop them? I really find it hard to believe that the folks in the launch video that were excited about what they built, had any idea it was going to run like this. sounds like 2 different groups that don't talk to each other. I've always heard the term "live ops", but don't really know what that means?

[weary mango]

bet they say smt like "lower the events" but dont specify by how much 😂

[subtle vortex]

Doesn't make any difference really for the player. If it's completely stupid it doesn't matter who decided it, the whole team put out this garbage

[civic geyser]

Must be embarrassing that this is the feature of the arc and it’s failed to launch 🚀

[subtle vortex]

They didn't even make it to the blooming launchpad

[weary mango]

technically it launched fine its just everything is wrong about it 😂

[civic geyser]

And we still got months of this

[weary mango]

5 more months LOL

can we just put the arc in the bag and go with the next arc

[hushed fiber]

So are lvl 45 rare vanguards ever gonna spawn again, out should i just sit the rest of the event out?

[weary mango]

shouldve sat the event out from day 1 bud

i swear if they continue these nonsense events im gonna blame every single person that participated in the nonsense

[solid kayak]

they take a minute to respawn if you wipe them all out

[weary mango]

i assume if he said that means it hasnt respawned in quite some time

[solid kayak]

i had to kill a couple hostiles and they respawned for me but that was at 5 am for me

[subtle vortex]

Technically it didn't even do that as they had to reset it to fix issues that didn't even correct the issues anyway 🤣 it's a sticky plaster on a sticky plaster plugging the disaster of the whole event

[weary mango]

the its a whole bandage around the code 🤣

[hushed fiber]

Since the second day of the first flashpoint, Beta Nerra has had only epics. I watched a big guy wipe them all out, only for more epics to respawn.

[vocal kindle]

we have been having issues of people not being able to join them after they start them, anyone else having that issue?

[vocal kindle]

yeah they made all rare in one system and all epic in another system

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/red-space-loop-deep-space-gif-17961100274694331884

What we would like, for all of it to vanish 😂👆🏼

[foggy storm]

I actually like it, whilst everyone is wasting their time on this, I'm able to focus on content that I enjoy without being interrupted 😝

[dusky cove]

Eh 2 events with 0 servers finishing it, this feature is smelling like assaults

[grizzled ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-gif-9838909

[weary mango]

so many people think they've got a gun to the head and they go do the event lol

[dull mason]

I didn't even know that there's was another Arc running until I started getting different notifications

( the one next to the Wave one)

[timber valve]

Lot of people already moved on to older better stuff. Scopely finally made an arc that’s universally hated.

[civic geyser]

Wonder what or if we get any communication on Monday on what they might do with the event . 🗑️ guess this is what a high percentage would like

[foggy storm]

Bring back starbase assaults 🤣🤣🤣

[dull mason]

Bring back limited events

[civic geyser]

Bring back worms 🪱

[weary mango]

bring back actual doable milestones 😂

[weary mango]

dont worry theres gonna be someone that defends it

[timber valve]

Milestones and hostiles.

[pine phoenix]

😂😂 258 of 17.1k in stage 3
Looking good

[weary mango]

they lost their minds imo thinking just cuz they give us a bit more iso they can give hostiles 500% iso on their ability

[dull mason]

Apex mining event 🤣

[timber valve]

They assume everyone carries max Joaquim and maxed PvE nodes on FC Kahn.

[pine phoenix]

A brick could make better and working content then this stfc team

[weary mango]

khan is fine cuz he mostly buffs apex shred

the new hostiles is mostly iso so its joachim we need

the augment is apex shred

[tidal sand]

@Scoply @heady moon @lapis seal and anyone else who are programmers. Fix this glitches.

[weary mango]

no

too much work for no income

[pallid saffron]

We have had some really bad arcs in the past but wow scopley you have outdone yourself bravo

It’s like scopley is intentionally trying to get people to quit

[torpid condor]

So, I see these 3 projectile options in the Amalgam refinery, but I don't see them in any of the options on the Refits section. Where are they?

[weary mango]

its like the dev teams tryna to compete who can make the worse arc

[torpid condor]

Oh wait. My eyes defeated me. The design changed. Nevermind.

[pallid saffron]

Or they’re hiring 8 year olds to code 😂

And as arc runners

I can’t wait until Revs next video 😂

[little violet]

Rev said exactly the same thing I had said to a CM before he made the video ... Irony... CM laughed at me

[weary mango]

youre not a cc

was it eco 😂

[little violet]

No, eco is a coder/dev...

[weary mango]

wasnt he a cm

[little violet]

He was before they moved his role

[weary mango]

oh. he been busy then, havnt seen him around 😂

[little violet]

That was when hampster took over CM of this discord

[dusky cove]

He had the job title, if he actually was one is still up for debate seeing his many infamous quotes which're still floating around

[weary mango]

he was one but he wasnt the best one lol

[tough vapor]

Will there be no mid month tournament this time?

[dusky cove]

That's....putting it mildly, while at times he was helpful I can recall many instances where he poured gas on the playerbases frustration as opposed to helping matters

[cursive warren]

They got me to quit!

[boreal oasis]

was saying it all the way back at eco

[dusky cove]

I'm expecting the tournament to start on 23/7

[little violet]

I have been saying it since the Sarcophagus .... Everyone laughed then...

[weary mango]

ok time for bed i misread that comment 🤣

[dusky cove]

I rather suspect certain people are "vibe coding" with AI

[weary mango]

sarco technically wasnt as bad at release

yea ik i misread

[little violet]

The sourcing.... Was

[weary mango]

oh yes that was bad

but its use wasnt as bad

and it went downhill from there

[little violet]

Look how the game changed now... We not even getting any bps per arc and were waiting 100 day for a ship or.... $100

[warm osprey]

Imagine.... a not correctly working alliance tournament besides the other not working stuff 😬

[little violet]

Back then they were sourcing ships in the arc...

[dusky cove]

I'm curious, has anybodies account been reset to ops 1? I think that is one of the few bugs I haven't seen reported yet this month

[tough vapor]

so nothing new on the table

[weary mango]

it happened i think once for my alliance mate

quite early in the month tho

[dusky cove]

Hmm....hard to find a bug we haven't seen yet this month in that case

[solemn plaza]

There was also a period of time when they released a new ship then took 4 months to release F2P sourcing which then took a further 3 months....so you'd wait 7months for a ship.

[little violet]

Yeah that was terrible too.. But at that time it was sourced in the battle pass..

Still F2p during the arc

[dusky cove]

I mean, we wait longer now

[solemn plaza]

So you had to wait 4 months before you could start getting Relativity/Reliant/GS-31 bps......I think not.

[dusky cove]

100 days to unlock + 100-150+ days to get it useful for your ops

[small void]

Major Crisis - the store is broken

[timber valve]

I could detail exactly what triggers 2 KirShara bugs and it wouldn’t matter. Devs seldom fix old bugs.

[dusky cove]

Sure, I unlocked the GS31 after 100 days so I have the refinery but it's still useless in solo waves

[solemn plaza]

Ok...but way back when you'd wait 4 months for sourcing to be put in the game, then spend 3 months getting the ship and then spend the extra months getting it upto level.

[timber valve]

Stella only took a month of hard grind (once released F2P) before it was put at end of arc.

[dusky cove]

Oh I recall that, we went from "unlock it in the mond" to waiting to unlock it to the current "100 days to unlock + months to get it useful". While having the refinery is somewhat nice for some loops some ships do take ages to get useful

[solemn plaza]

Id rather have F2P sourcing the way it is now, as in its available Day1 of release of the ship.
Atleast then F2P are "only" 3 months behind, rather than being 6+ months behind.

[timber valve]

Problem is now there’s a ship every 2 months versus 3 back then. The frantic pace of new loops is also frustrating. I miss the good old quiet 3rd month.

[solemn plaza]

The ideal situation would be for all ship sourcing to be done the way the original Vidar was done.

[dusky cove]

I'd like them add a catchup mechanic so that tier up phase is shorter, add them to AT from day 1 or improve the refinery based on ops so a G6 gets a lot of ter 1 mats etc.

[weary mango]

another way ive been saying is let us exchange for the ship parts day 1 as f2p

[solemn plaza]

It would be nice if they could keep updating AT rewards.
Put some more of the specialty ship refits in there too. (Gorn evi refits as an example)

[timber valve]

Gorn parts should be increased in the AT and they should add NSEA parts. Both ships I still have hitting way below what I hit with my regular ships.

Having to tier up the disco warp range to send the Gorn ship higher is just dumb.

[dusky cove]

I mean, I just unlocked the GS31 and about all the elite wave artifactions are at T7 or so so by the time I've actually tiered the GS31 I imagine I'll be done with elite waves besides the odd run for events

[solemn plaza]

Iirc a maxed Evi doesnt even reach the highest gorn systems. (Kinda stupid)

[little violet]

THey didn't think this was something to brag about... people been asking for a year....

[solemn plaza]

Its also heavily ops gated and still not enough

[timber valve]

That is extremely stupid

[crude phoenix]

what madas need the defiant ? just curious

[twilit skiff]

tbf the defiant buff is kinda mid anyways 😏

[little violet]

Jem's

[timber valve]

Nah, to be “done” takes time

[crude phoenix]

havent used a defiant for those in ages

what mada that warrants that warp range

[little violet]

It really only good for the edicts

[dusky cove]

All the elite wave artifacts will be maxed long before it gets useful in G6 waves so yeah....

[crude phoenix]

u use it a few time sand then u hve edicts for the rest of your career

[dusky cove]

Well, maxed as far as ops allows anyway

[twilit skiff]

i mean .. how many buff ships u need ? get a better mainbattleship boon !

[solemn plaza]

I use it to buff when doing epic forms. But it doesnt have the range for the system Im in.

[little violet]

Think I am finally done needing Dolamides... 🤔

[twilit skiff]

tbf i use the defiant for krenim but for that its wr is alright

[crude phoenix]

defiant doesnt work on krenim

[twilit skiff]

it does

[covert oyster]

Where do I find the beryllium for the titan I just acquired it

[crude phoenix]

krenims are entity's not madas

[twilit skiff]

wait

[covert oyster]

Rumpelstiltskin I like the name

[twilit skiff]

its about the buff

what u talking about ?

im obviousely not attacking the krenim with the defiant

[solemn plaza]

No buff doesnt work vs the Krenim solos

[twilit skiff]

what u mean ?

what does the buff do ?

[solemn plaza]

Defiant buff vs the krenim solos doesnt do anything.

[twilit skiff]

i literally had less damage to my relativity with the buff than without it against krenim

[somber cave]

Warp rang is still bad compared to the ceritos and titan-a(ops 65 ceri & titan over 1200 defiant 950)

[twilit skiff]

want to see battlelogs ? guess what .. i dont have them .. first of all since i didnt do krenim in ages

yikes

but hey .. it worked

it always did ..even before i got the relativity

no matter if its madas or not .. it just .. u know .. worked

[lyric haven]

No it didn't. Defiant buff does not work vs IE

[hollow herald]

Anyone know how to start a new ticket when they have forgotten to close the old one?

[twilit skiff]

well ... we have different opinions then i guess 🫠

[lyric haven]

Which is fine. The 3 (and counting) opposing your view just happen to be correct 🤷‍♂️

[signal pewter]

Buffs and research would do nothing against these since they aren't armada

[dry estuary]

Anyone else getting problems with the Xindi scoring?

[signal pewter]

Same way armada officers do not work

[dry estuary]

I killed a bunch of hostiles in New Xindus (which should count), but nope.

I know usually stuff like this goes in #👾-bug-reporting, but since I don't wanna be ignored for this time-limited event, I'm stuffing it here.

[solemn plaza]

Need to differentiate between an opinion and fact.
The defiant buff doesnt work vs Krenim solos. Thats not an opinion its a fact.

[civic geyser]

So it works on the formations ?

[twilit skiff]

well first of all defiant research includes hostiles too ... second .... it might not make a big difference if its stronger hostiles since its buff is not thaaaat stronko but for lower ones it does 100% i was there

[signal pewter]

Formations are armada

Yes it would work there. The krenim solos and these new things no

[dry estuary]

Defiant Research doesn't work on hostiles though... does it?

[silver parcel]

No it doesn't

[dry estuary]

It's only Armadas and Alliance Starbases (Assaults)

[silver parcel]

Defiant has group, solo and assault research

That's it

[twilit skiff]

its a whole path thats just for hostiles omg

[torpid condor]

i got the scores just fine. but i did restart the app before working on it.

[dry estuary]

which one?

[solemn plaza]

Yes theyre no IEs. They actual armadas.

[silver parcel]

You're mistaken, there is no such path for the defiant

[twilit skiff]

ok it doesnt work for you guys .... hey .. it worked for me ... it just did

[silver parcel]

It doesn't work period

[twilit skiff]

ok

[dry estuary]

Top line: SOLO ARMADAS
Middle line: FORMATION ARMADAS
Bottom line: USELESS (Starbase Raiding)

And then you throw in the one research for Defiant Warp Range.

Nothing's for hostiles...

[civic geyser]

Which doesn’t get it that far
