You haven't heard of it i understand, good for you, but guys who aren't smart a.sses could have some use of the info.
I think it can be because as players we want it all and we want it now. Wok rep grinding etc didnβt have to be done so quickly and I doubt scopely intended us to do it as quickly as we did.
I did the 60m rep thing by the end of the first month because I gave in to peer pressure. I saw what other people were earning and I wanted in on the action too. I see that as a player problem where we set ourselves heavy goals and not a scopely issue. The wok stuff isnβt disappearing, it can be done gradually over time. The flashpoint events are slightly different because itβs time gated and I feel obligated to grind for the sake of my server. It affects more than just myself and itβs harder to motivate myself to do it
g6 miner + building buff will give you like 100k+ % mining boost
alliance tournament news yet?
i have heard of it, im using it on discord right now. π€ Dark mode gets rid of white...
Are we expecting a patch to the middle of the month correction patch this afternoon?
Theyβre waiting for enough players to spend their MakkaPakka tokens and choice rewards before hand, so people have to spend
at this rate ppl can stock up on other things for the next 2 ats
<@&509691205798592532> Are they going to comp tokens to all the players they sent home from Transogen token system mines????
That was not cool!
Warning
Boring event's approaching
Probably not because they announced it far in advance of the downtime. Itβs up to us to manage our tokens and the times we use them
they are giving 1 token lol
what they forgot to put in the announcement was you lose any loot you had in cargo π€£
they did stick that in
I stand corrected π€£
IKR
ahh yeah they are giving us a token, I missed that point π€£ Iβd happily donate my tokens to team mates that arenβt G6. I can manage the mining loops already in normal space so Iβve never been to those token systems yet
I think we can have some slack after this arc events π
nope ims coming lol
on the note of this arcs events! what are the plans for IMS run 3 or is it bury your head in the sand and hope it works out this time?
Shield and sleep π΄
The plan is to not change anything. It's all the players fault.
Bin it hopefully
The only way it will matter is if they can either really drop the milestones, or convince all the people who have checked out to care (and being one of those, I don't see the later happening)
The whole arc right now is grind grind grind for..... artifact shards.
unlikely it wouldnt be so bad if they actually thought about what players can achieve (and changed the directive sourcing to guarantee drops
wouldn't really know. haven't paid any attention to anything other than the normal BP (part of the ferrengi stuff, and WD BP)
It's the lipstick π on a π again
AND make IMS 3 preload with people doing their sms early
but these arent just any artifact shards tho lol
or they could allow the Armada IE IMS to score before it unlocks. As many many many do it way before for the SMS
i thought this arc was 'log in, do bp, do dailies, spend one hull grinding faction rep in mirror, log back out
but u only get 30 of em u need what 200 lol
Doubt that
That's what it has turned to pretty much π€£. Way more gratifying.
being snippy worked out for him didnt it, got us all started again π€£
i m not acting any different to normal xD
That would help. You see loads of people doing the entities before the stage 3 IMS even starts π if it retroactively applied your points for the SMS to the IMS when it begins, it might be slightly more achievable but perhaps not even then

I was going to comment on his image something about "here we go again with Scopely being tone deaf to what is happening"... but Scopely is tone deaf to what is happening so it wouldn't matter anyway
o yeah milestones are still ridiculous but it would at least make sense for players who unlock their sms early and stops people fighting over the limited spawns later too fixes multiple issues
or orrrrrr you just cant read
lol, "again" implies that it ever ends here...
But the dev video, they were so happy to intoduce Flashpoint to us
2 days in a row? Can you guys not find us something else to do?
I can read just fine. my reading isn't the issue. Scopely is
that is the annoying thing it actually has potential, the implementation is just utter crap
You'll do it and love it.
You're going to love hitting the same really hard hostiles in hazard space 8 hours a day for that awesome chest pull! π€£
A single chest pull. Not 15. 1. For a day of grinding.
If i wanted blue b I would just go hit on my wife
Game is still down
?
there, fixed the mission name
A single token cell. Thanks Scopely, I feel compensated /s
Could have atleast bought us dinner first
welp time to go back in mu again
So like. Are we not talking about this abysmal arc?
Seems they threw in the towel and will try to recoup selling the ship of the month in a couple of weeks
So how many servers, on the second run, completed ims3?
None
None
this arc is...................
only 2 even made it past the halfway points I believe
I did know the answer but had to ask π Be surprised if we get any official word on it though
<@&509691205798592532> will their be some blog post about how the territory services have rotated?
They've gone radio silent.
Anything changed?
is there a season 7 map too?
Kind of diffiicult to see what's changed
The changes were already in game before the update
Which were?
i think they want you to pick which one is new
Why performance drop ?
Looks exactly same to me
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS NO IMS
wow did you see the competition gift π it's a real π©
Had it been rare, I'd have been so happy π€£
That one was just to compensate for them forgetting they had interceptors in the BP for some people. Cause it hasn't been the same rewards for months on that
Like these?
π€ lucky number 8 π
69 is better
People need to stop spending money on this game. I'd say it's now likely a lost cause and Scope is going under by the end of the year at this point. It seems pretty obvious that whoever is there at Scope now doesn't play the game, has no idea what they're doing and doesn't care. Event fail after event fail for the last 3 months.
excuse me, where are the Hurak armadas? i want to finish my event
Gone
Well, there goes a max titan buff...
event ended yesterday they will be back next Thursday
they might be back tomorrow though, if they keep to their cycle... I mean dynamically changing universe
I tried like twenty times. 21 was the charm. Lol
I mean, thats just great
They are only active when the icon is over the area
you will still have 3 days to do them when they start on Thursday, this was a poor event tbf
You said next thursday, not this thursday π
next thursday is this thursday
I see the game still freezes on the entry screen when joining solo waves. what exactly did they fix backend?
They successfully undid everything they fixed at arc launch
colour of the sun π
damm maintenance took so long when I had the time to do the bp events. then got busy.. when become free times up! scopely should compensate today's bp points
you had 24 hours, game was down for only 4.....
24 hours for stfc! omg!! πππ
there are other things to taken care of in life during that time my dude
Are there still hunters in the token systems?
24 hours to do it, not spend 24 hours in the game.....
No I didn't have the time. don't judge others time by yours
mine time is the same as yours 24 hours.....
No your 24 hours def not same as mine. dumb argument.
when a 2 hours maintenance goes for over 4 hours there should be some accountability of that instead of arguments with the player base. lmao
anyways no time for this either..
π
if you cannot login in anytime within the 24 hours period. that is not the games fault. That is your prioritising IRL for pixels, which is a good thing, why you complaining about that?
don't think that's the current particles
That was before the change they did earlier this month
Are they mental?
One token as compensation for trashpoint garbage and maintenance in mining event
Where the token we lost on g4 g5 g6 mining systems?
Insulting player is best what the team can do
Fixing own mistakes not so much
You know. Now that I think about it. I'm betting the vip server is a molten volcano atm which is why we arent really getting much on this side
If the maintenance actually help game performance ok let them steal our token
But it not
had more warp bugs in the last hour than I have in weeks π¦
i just want them to fix the hostile queueing,
Queue up 23 hostile, go make a coffee, come back, i killed 2 before the ship just went and ran out of fuel, just sitting with the rest in the queue doing nothing.
Didn't see anyone answer you. Yes, there are hunters in the token systems. Found out when I used my first token and then my miner went Poof when I lost connection. At least I got to mine for a week or so before Scopely wasted my other 3 tokens.
Yeah
The kir'shara is a total scam too
Not have it full as it never do the 11 hostile I can que
And they charged money for it
It's free to play now which is good!
anything above 5 queue seems a waste - i see orgmates moaning about that often
Now
Was pay only on beginning
Id be happy to even get 5 without it breaking on me
And was so broken they had to ad a disable button for it π
My hunter also resets when i refresh the node.
I have not had that happen to me. I mined for a week and a half without issue with my Nova, but maybe someone killed my initial chaser. Not sure.
Works decently in Xindi Aquatic systems where they move slow.
Dear Scopley - Can I have a Comp Chest for the fact that i had to read about all these people who didnt read about pulling their miners and are now complaining about it?
But anyone else getting in there and killing some of your queued hostiles will screw you.
Oh my scopely must be joking, what a massive compensation π€ͺ
A few ship parts and a warp token π
If it isn't a pop up when you login, it's gotta be single digit percentages that see those notes.
It really needs to be that organic or communication is always going up be bad.
Shame on everyone that didn't see the update but let's not pretend that is a best practice in 2025 or even was in 2017
According to that I would like a compensation for the humiliation of seeing what they advertise as compensation
They need Google the term
Compensation
That word, I do not think it means what they think it means.
Your game must work differently than mine. I had a news alert that took over my helps, so I clicked that, read the update and then proceeded to help my alliance. Or maybe you just dont send helps.
the news board also changes when they add something to it.
Still doing it in a mining event is pure incompetent action
Where are the other token we lost ?
Compensation token just dropped in gifts on 38. Was hoping against hope that they might somehow give one for each miner recalled, but nope.
Again, people were warned. I personally dont think a token was warranted. People need to own up for their own actions every now and then and not blame the game for their failure to comprehend what they are told.
Cool
The problem id that the announcement about recalling all ships was done in game, only in discord. And while we may be paying attention to this third party communication tool, not all players do.
I was recall my ships before as know from history that the cargo is lost if they do it
So lost one silent system token one g5 token and one tran token
Sopley need to step up to their incompetence doing that in a mining event
So stop blame player
But my main complaint today is the Ferangi BS having the exact same task today...grr
So the Board IN GAME and the News button IN GAME arent avaliable to people unless they use a third party com tool? I must have the extra specail version of IN GAME.
There was no in game news about this, they are referring to if there is something like this, not everyone has discord, or check the webpage.
Dont get me wrong, i fully agree with the, If your above a casual player, you really should be checking the game news before the weekly back end stuff. that happens at the same time every week,
Can you point to the board where is mentions the downtime cause I can see it?
4 passes running at the same time
Maybe there's a vid about the maintenance π
it aint even on the website, just discord
Nop only the how great trashpoint content is
Exaiting entertainment working perfectly and all players asked for it π
no server got to stage 4 again
Anyway, finished all of todays events, have a nice evening all xx
Stage 4 is a mith
Like unicorns and dragons
Does someone have the mining google sheet somewhere?
some particles changes
Well, support ticket in asking for 2 more tokens (3 miners sent to token space before announcement). Hope for the best but expect the worst, Lol. Either way, enjoy the game and won't stop playing. Just disappointed in the decision to recall all ships. I understand that it was probably necessary, and maybe there isn't a way for them to refund tokens for each ship recalled from token space, but not gonna lie. It definitely screwed up my plan to stock up on Transogen (one miner in each type) for the next month.
As usual, scopely executed the update perfectly and by executed, I mean they killed it better than the royals killed epstein
Are they aware they're losing thousands of players every arc? Or are they high?
@somerandomT1scopleytech
server maintenance usually clears up NPC floatersβ¦not our maintenance. Those stuck chasers in Augment space will be there until Fall?
Thought about it a bit, but no, the seasonal events make a tracker extremely muddy. Also, I've seen seasonal events that not everyone has.
So....any comment by scopely on the content they intended for the second half of 2025 being a complete dud? Two runs in a row zero servers came even close to finishing it may be sign that scopely should listen to player feedback. I'm not expecting much seeing the attitude they showcased, yet again, in the Q&A session mind you

Thanks! They didnβt listen to the players this time either. Unfortunately Iβm not surprised. π€·ββοΈ
Kirshara Artifact has one bug where if you target a hostile about to despawn and you happen to try and hit in on the spawn/despawn node, it just bugs out
To be fair, when I lost my first token to the chaser, I did not haev a screen shot as I had autogrinders out leveling ships for scrapping. The death of my miner had fallen off the 300 report limit.
Does anyone know when the Alliance Tournament starts ?
we don't know yet
They'll probably tell us the night before it starts.
hi
Haven't read back , but is there any reason lots of the new armadas disappeared, loads moaning they can't complete stuff
Ferengi event is running .. or does that not count
Don't they usually start on wednesday? I was expecting tomorrow so unless CM is extremely late I'd say next week would be sensible unless they want to anger G6 players further by not allowing us to use choice tokens this AT so I guess in 2 weeks may be a safe guess
Scopely giving as a win for all on that one
It's like the Fatu Krey systems only showing up during Saris Invasions. The difference is that Scopely doesn't run the invasion events outside the invasion like they are these Hurak events.
But ferengi event needs them ..
The invasion event isn't running
Different event thats invasion
So none of you have the ferengi battlepass , that's need you to kill them fir one event ... w
Heβs right though. The ferengi event needs vanguards and honourguards. Still 5 days left on that one so will have to hope they spawn again before the event runs out of time
5d will cover the next run.
It's a multi day seasonal event that will still be up when the event starts
So update canceled ability to donate for daily reputation event
But not all people can be on then .. I'm working during that time
And if i were u i will do it already π cause invasion won't be running always
By already i mean past run π
Ran out of time finishing it before
@silver parcel , so we where sold a battlepass that can't be completed.. I understand what your saying , but scopely must realise, not everyone is about , and this is a pay event
I've just been ignoring them, but then, I didn't bother to spend money on the Ferengi battlepass either.
U had so much time tho and you will have another run ? Before it ends
If you buy a bp before finishing it, then that might happen. It's something common to all bp, not just the FE one.
@tepid lotus , I did so much better rewards than flashpoint , maybe that's why we can't complete
@late ermine, right for last time , I don't have that time , same reason I've never done an arena , I have work , I'm not a game player , doing 100 hours a week
Plus add 10 days of pulling chances and not getting directives.. bad rng I know
yeah theres another flashpoint run coming, it can be completed
@humble orbit . Why tran token systems got changed that runner hitting?
Why it wasn't announced?
The 1 sad token is now useless like the Q&A
why are there no Suliban Runners for the Suliban Hunter SMS event? All the systems have Independent Traders so one has to wait for the chaser, Suliban Tranports, to hit you for scoring points... why? How does this make any sense?
Chasers have been part of them since the beginning. I've seen plenty reports on them being annoying for players. What has changed?
"75% of pulling directives" - Given how horrible the pulls are, it seems more like 7.5%.
I can say my chaser never spawned in token transogen. I got the intial warning but no ship ever appeared (for now)
Not true
Had not even one when was mining in tran token yesterday and today before the maintenance
This is in Jovozta for me
Is this max amount of chests or did I spend my tokens? So much going on as of lateβ¦
hmm May, June, July, and hmm Coming up ON August... Wonder when this will get adjusted to a newer month.
50 is the max for each
@timber valve , yes π€£
So Iβve been scoplayed
how so? Did you do turn ins?
Originally the chases spawned in token for trans i lost my first send to it
And you will like it π
Idt so
what would be nice is if there dev's could count so we don't have xtra after its over....
hahahaahahhahaaaahhaah math is hard mmmkay
Not everyone has the time to score all the points in an event so it will never balance out for everyone
Are you accounting for all the packs you were supposed to buy? π
I have zero tokens and usually thereβs some change left @carmine frigate
Maybe it was so as you say
I seen no hunter and now they there so we got scammed
If the DEVS plan it right it should. They shouldnt make a single event where you can have left over currency.
Inconsistently spawning sounds like the report.
You want bet on that?
Oh im 100% done buying anything from scopley. Not that I spend alot
ssssssshhhhhhhhhh
Does not matter how you plan it for those that cannot get on everyday thier points will be a variable number which never match up not everybody gets every task done
those comp chests are a ridiculous joke
get back to mining whiptish
See I disagree. No matter which "tier" of which event you make it to, if you earn any credits they should be spendable for the event. They need to adjust the turn in value then if they can't plan right. IE they need a 10 turn in to use them all if thats what your meaning
and to do so theyd adjust the gained so low noone would even go for it
the hedgehog spoke for no more packs till g7 is confirmed
Sorry its Sloppy coding to come up with an event where there are left over "Gold" unless your gonna allow the players to get the currency later
So if i only have time to score.to milestone 2 and you need to hit 3 for a double pull and milestone 4 for a trip pull and use up all the points i will end up.with remaining points people need to stop putting how easy it is to finish the stuff. Not everyone has the same play time
theyve gotta create a reason for lag to exist somehow certainly cant be because their hoster doesnt supply enough internet bandwith to them lol
IE this old crap. They havent changed. they are still the same sloppy programers they were years ago
I think gummies could be zeroed, mine are all gone.
But those items bring back nostalgic memories and make you smile about the good ole days
i wish they would do a clearout to make it easier to find things in your inventory
The fact is the programming hasn't gotten any better. Lets just continue to bloat the database that stores all the items. The items we can't use even if we wanted to.
a convert or delete script would be easy
If they did that they would screw up and delete stuff they didnt mean to....
Yeah, I'm sure everyone wants Scopely to run an inventory deletion script. π
Id rather convert because I earned it with my years of playing. But ultimately delete if there was no other choice. And maybe put in a SEARCH Function. I hate having to scroll though the pages and pages of stuff to see how many event tickets I have so I can plan on a weekend 90 event ticket spend.....
theyve done it before even gave us rewards for doing so. though im not sure what it was they got rid of lol.
We do need another one tho
Best crew for Auger
DELETE
FROM STFC_INVENTORY
WHERE ITEM_NAME IN('Junk1','Junk2', etc.);
a junk sale where old stuff gets converted to one currency and we can buy old avatars/frames
An ex-dev, OldMan, told us they were actively looking into ways of us getting rid of the useless junk. That was 3 years ago.
New building: The Recycler
Must be a 999.99β¬ prime
I kept this egg around because it looks nice. Would be annoyed if they classified it as junk.
Obviously
We knew it was coming but itβs still sad
π
They just need to create a Matter/Antimatter converter. Every item is given a basic value, you put everything you want to sell/scrap on one side then choose what you want to convert it to on the other. Allow some things to be coverted block others. Then we could exchange all the rubbish old stuff for whatever they want to allow us to have instead. But they won't do that...
well theyd garunteed have a 800 or so minimum number value for turn ins so itd still not work well enough and they are not going to do a conversion rate of 1 for these currency's
so itd do no real good in getting rid of them
Do a Scrapper Building thjat you can feed old/unwanted Items and it returns Lat
easiest way would be just to convert it all to lat
or a Ferengie Bazzar
could even make an event out of it, lat converter event. then people would actually convert all the obsolete currencies that they can.
most games already have a lat converter that works during the time the currency is issued, and if its not used/converted, it disappears.
Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne dies age 76
at the very least, a way to search the inventory
Have you seen the bugs history you will click and be left with 1 parsteel and a comp chest for a 200% warp speed exo
So I know most Servers have ROEs Alliances that brag about following their Severs RoE but has anyone heard of Alliances that brag about not following Server RoE...?
there used to be pirate alliances who were anti roe in the earlier years of the game
now you only get a few rogue pests
Yep. All the time. We currently have someone who is in their own Alliance and declared war on everyone.
Hey I'm might be Rogue pestπ
I am only 45k uc gas and 14k rare gas to ops 60 π₯³π₯³π₯³
a server merge helps to increase it π
me too 
We also have one alliance that breaks the roe whenever they want since most of the 70s are in that group, no one can really do anythign about it.
is that awsome π
my bet would be, everything converts to 1 star interceptor parts
With all the power of an Ops45
Our got a few but one of them english isn't their language so even though most put rogues on Enemy Status kill on sight I thought nah no point since not following RoE shouldn't be automatic kill on sight not for me anyways...

Anyone know when the alliance tournament is happening this month?
So I can only add two ships to a solo wd... And it won't even start, and I've lost a token.
RIP Ozzy
I knew it, Sharon would keep trotting him out on stage to pay the bills until the day he died...now she's just going to roll out the jerky corpse.
Would be pretty metal
Too bad we can't have Futurama heads in jars.
Imagine the horror of being a disembodied head.
To be honest, I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. Those rock stars dipped into the multi-colored sauces a lot.
With a phantom limb itch you can never scratch
running out of time to run three full alliance tournaments, will probably have to have a couple run simultaneously
Game crashes at elite solo wave 5, nice.
With all the talk of the galaxy coming together as a team to fight off an invasion, it was the arc that should have introduced Public Armadas.
Instead, everyone fending for themselves fighting each other for hostiles they can actually kill, cause everyone has to punch down.
There's freak'n G6 ships hogging up the 58s.
So scopely screws up my scoring in an event because of their "maintenance" and all I get is a, single, one transogen warp token. Gots me reevaluating my continued participation.
If you haven't activated a New shield,
The gold shield ends in # 25 minutes
I really wish we would get these as skins at some point
Wish we could get skins for bases , kinda of boring all having the same
Is anyoneβs else formation space crash when you try to open it up without a ship in it unc/rare
At ops 62, I'm finished. Scopely, this game is no longer any fun, actually it blows chunks. Scopelys continued scr ew ups just cause stress and grief, do no thanks any more.
That should have happened when we had the deep space nine Arc's
I think ozzy would probably think it pretty metal
Did you know that he's British ππΌπ
I need to find an alliance to join. Only a few days in , but need the guidance to grow if anyone is interested
This is the main discord, for the whole game,
You need to advertise on your server,
https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/971162037948391444
That is probably down to the hazard rather than the hostiles. The jump at the 62 zone is just stupid in hazard damage Vs the hazard resistance low-mid 6*can get
<@&509690795536941056> I don't assume a fix for the desyncing issues is in the works? I was hoping maintenance would help adress it but clearly not
Would be easier to list what actually works on this game instead of what doesnβt
i mean scopely knowing it never be that easy π
the often dont know themself so put 3 diffrent things to say the same π
No they dump more junk into the game and hope that it will work instead of actually testing it first
So they removed the middle finger again. Same on you moderators.....
To bad you can't say your expressions...
They could disable all reactions if they wanted to. Be happy that you can actually react at all
you know whats sooo annoying in the game......... having an event that is done keep showing up every other min
Same hazard level in the level 60 system as the 58. π«€
Hereβs a new undocumented feature. Start a Q trial and the Q hostile doesnβt appear.
Happy to see I am in someones head
New update today didnβt fix it.
it messed up raiding tho
Hold the claim button on the winner icon] then on the claim button for 10 secs each.. Worked for me to clear it when it happened to me
do you guys know if there going to be an event soon of doing borg armadas with the revenant?
Oh, that was this morning, by noon it was 110 on my deck
Note to self, don't walk on the deck barefoot
gold shields or something else
recalling full amalgam, it pops into my base, drops the cargo off then for a second picks it up again so if i dont time it well i attack with full cargo, slowing down the raiding noticeably (at least for me)
is it me or does this look like a face
smiley on good stuff π
i saw a video of something like that on a webite but i cant post it in here cuz i get a warning but it starts with a t ends with a k
Anyone from the great lord Scopely..??
Ah well, shame, but hey ho, had been a few years..
If the august arc is as terrible as this arc I do hope whoever approved this arc gets moved to more suitable positions like sanitation
flashpoint pt 3?
Isn't august part 2?
isn't this whole arc a crime? definitely feels like cruel and unusual punishment
Flushpoint will just run until xmas
after
or until everyone quits π
prob in jan
flashpoint arc
new ship incoming
new packs
new officers
more ims
Its a bummer that the flashpoint events are so bad that they are overshadowing how terrific the new artifact sourcing is.
feels like the game wants us to quit playing, very boring arc with auto grinding and mining that isnt fun
yeah that one i am glad about cuz i really love my artifacts
I personally love the ship and research efficiencies, they were much needed
Oh my gosh..
the flashpoints have certainly been bad, but transogen mining and suliban autogrinding is rather afk. Maybe resetting every 40 minutes is to frequent, but hardly cruel and unusual
I'm not saying they should be fired but they certainly should not be in a position to design arcs, move them to another role where they may actually do their job decently
Same... and the artifact sourcing from formadas is so time gated... its a pain!
was you here when we had to mine data with that one useless ship now
Honestly, too busy buying arties to play with these yet. I need to though haha...
LOLOLOLOL Scopely staff doing a decent job? Hahahahahahahahahaha
i think the sourcing is ok so far, we do get a boatload of refined rare stuff upfront be completing events. that at least is sufficient to get the mastery artifacts to an somewhat ok level
put em on bug duty
but without additional rare stuff it will be a decision
I think you're mixing up the team that designed the arc and the team that designs the events, as I understand it they aren't the same people
def when ur alliance dont wannna do em LOL
I've had pretty good luck just leaving a ship in the rare token space. By the time I recall my ship this week, I should have 3 months of max pulls for all 3 rarities which should last me until I can get my trasnforge to lvl 45 and get the weekly token.
i do gotta say we are gettimg lot of mats tho but i hear g6 players have it worse
If we could use armada speedups on these... I bet people would do them more
I know there are differences and both teams messed up so I really hope whoever signed off/mandated things, which I know likely aren't the arc runners themselves, does get a talking to. I severely doubt that as it'll likely be "oooh vengeance earned us how much? good work!"
π― βοΈ
I don't even want to go to G5. π
The thing I loved about this game was the people, some very very good team mate's.
And me not being the best... But it's such a shame scopley can't even let you log back in..!
14 day return event..!!
It did sound to good to be true...
how many of you even got an epic mada run? or even the directive
I got the directives to run 3 but I didn't even try π
my issue is... why should i bother going g6? just to shoot myself in the foot?
yeah i heard it was very hard even a 1b had to buff with 3 ships
except for hazard damage being high, I don't think the mechanics of transogen are bad, and flashpoints are just another invasion type. But live ops seems to be trying their best to make people hate everything with ridiculous milestones and not listening to feedback
Yup... exactly my point. 10x pulls for what? I'm happy with the slightly slower but much less painful pace of progression. When I only have to check in on loops once a week like most of my loops are at right now, it becomes much more fun and much less of a job and I want to keep it there haha!
i do know the selkie has an insane miningbonus, but at the same time a tiny cargo... i dont want to activly mine 3h a day
Plus you have hazard mining and the constant need to sigma stuffs, and all the other pain points...
There's a VERY easy list to make this arc, and I'm including flashpoints in that, much more tollerable
- CARROT: There's a darn bit of grinding but they forgot to add rewards worth noting
- Hazards: remove them or at least from sub G6 space, it'll also cause less leg so double win
- Easy 52/62 transogen hostiles to make the G transition smoother
- Concurrent scoring for IMS so armadas run during stage 1 will actually count for stage 3
- Guarantee armada directives from pulls
this year is not a good year to be a vampire
Scopely's recent changes have pretty much guaranteed that I won't go past G4 for the forseeable future, especially with spending mats from the previous generation not counting in spend events? That pushes and rewards people who max everything before moving up, and given thats what these hostiles seem designed for, gotta figure that might be the status quo.
I honestly don't mind the hazards, it just makes it time limited like MU space, but without needing a token to get in
Also the hazards help me not go OPC π
oh i can reassure you, it will bother you... im 60 now and already tried my luck with 62 hurak crewing... my biggest enemy? take a guess, its not the huraks but the 100% hazard ^^
oh yeah, I can imagine its a lot worse at those levels, hopefully by the time I get there the solution is f2p
ops 50 with a tier 11 tribune that can take 52 huraks though is a nice spot to be
And I'd be a LOT more forgiving to whoever designed and approved this arc if they had shown the SLIGHTEST bit of humility in the Q&A instead of whatever we got. Communication being utterly absent this month isn't helping either. Mods are working hard to keep known issues up to date but for the rest there's been near silence. Just even an announcement acknowledging they made errors in light of ZERO servers finishing the IMS AGAIN would make me less exasperated.
Anyone else having this issue when you log on ? Officers that have been unlocked w/ help of the Away Teams Efficiency research not showing up until you "re-find" & examine them in your officer tab?
it's a no man's sky situation, but without the dedication and effort lol
Yup...
wouldn't be surprised if no one was meant to finish the IMS this first month or two, they've got to milk the flashpoint for six months
but outright saying that would be hugely demoralizing
I'm expecting each month to release a compliment to SNW Scotty just to make these feasible.
At least for people who haven't megacamped to the point of maxing their IE officers.
usually just opening the officers tab fixes this for me, but I agree that its really annoying
That seems like a terrible idea as I already suspect player engagement will be through the floor after 2 failed runs. People may do the SMS but that'll be it
Thats already whats happening on my server...
Opening officer tab doesn't do it for mine ... I have to open it, scroll down and find him ... THEN click to "examine" him before he then can be "found" in the ship crewing list... I have 129 shards but with research its 93
that's why they can't say it, and I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt that the first run was just overtuned because its new, but the insufficient adjustments, that everyone knew were insufficient, for week two makes you think
hm, flashpoint tab gone for anyone else? π€
TRASHPOINT.... the 2025 version of Arenas
Yup, people leaving is sadly nothing new but it's ramping up which is why I'm ranting (yes, I'll freely admit I am). I'm actively worried that people I've been playing with for years will quit the game if the august arc is just of the same. The total silence regarding the ongoing issues isn't exactly helping.
I was willing to give them a bit credit but that was killed by the Q&A and second run. As you said anybody with basic math skills knew that the changes were never going to be sufficient
An even as depressing as Sars event
they are fumbling around with it, at least a sign that they are working on it ^^, transogen eventtab is out in regular eventfolder, so they most likely took it down to rewrite something
Sarris Invasion, oh right. Totally forgot that existed. Scopely, too? hahaha
Yea there's a lot of people feeling burnout... and I'm actively encouraging as many people as possible to not interact with content that burns them out. Wether thats flashpoints, arenas, mantis grind, whatever... do the parts of the game you enjoy... its better that way.
Eh we've already had 2 sarris invasions this month and a third is heading your way
Those were Huraks
And the Hurak loop is just a reskinned sarris loop with lowered rewards and increased grinding
Its obvious they have purposely made everything difficult so they can boost sales of next months new ship. Tis the scopely way.
Why would I want to even get a ship that is for an event whose rewards are meh that will run however often it runs when the arc is over?
That's every ship in the game. π
ugh, I forgot I was in the middle of using my mantis tokens
hey, i still use my amalgam for the cloaking daily ^^
The loop will run whenever it's run, but there's a lot of transogen stuff to do even when Hurak aren't invading.
Also true for SNW Scotty, below deck he's a better tendi and his officer ability only works on Huraks, extremly niche
Next month will be:
A new ship who can fight the chasers.
A new officer to boost the mining.
A new prime to increase loot drops.
A new prime to reduce the hazard.
a snw officer with captain ability against invading entities
And whales will buy it all up and the arc runner will get a big pat on the back
maybe another tripple ability one like delvos
I mean not really... the older ships do not age well (looking at you Franklin A and Mantis!). But most of the ships save me a heck of a lot of time grinding the stuff. I'm sure there's an ops level where the ships all become irrelevant, but that speaks to an issue I think the devs have of making every grind start in the same place, which means they don't bring value to higher ops as muchπ
you can mine the double pull amount in like 30 minutes with a t2 selkie and lvl25 forge bonus
Seems like they love doing old officers but better, WOK Bones is Tom Paris but better, SNW Scotty is Tendi but better (both when levelled)
of all 3 rarities? or are we talking 3x30min active mining every day?
Rutherford you mean?
oh, right oops
Digging a hole to fill up later is an essential part of video games. To save the princess, she must first must need saving. The content next month will have it's draws, we'll see if it's worth it then.
I've got a higher level on my building and it takes me more than an hour to mine a double pull of rare.
I can see a single pull of all three, but not a double pull of all three
shes always in another castle
thought so, there are a few guys where i ask no questions when they feed me intel, but by far not everyone ^^
bowsette is overjoyed you visit her so frequently though
We already have a mining officer for the arc (Dchock) who is worse than just leveling the building tbh...
I think a chaser farming ship (ie Monaveen 2.0) is probably fairly on point though and more beneficial to the game than a special mining ship...
G3-5 hazard research in some capacity would be a nice touch though... hopefully its more than just a prime.
all 3. will take few trips due to the low cargo size
Not as a G6 players you don't
at the current state me 3 g5 miners get me 1 double pull per sendout per rarity, but thats send and forget. 3 times action over 2h. not more than 10min work in total. but g6... naah ^^
and you plan to stay that way till the game dies?
only till scopely reverts their insane same grade material change for low g5 g6
The chaser exchange in 6* is also very annoying not only because of the hazard killing you but also because of the warp range
At least the one for rare for fresh 6* people
They probably never will revert this.. G6 isn't hard to manage without cash if you grind mirror. Problem is that is a lot of grinding
But they give you a free to play path. As usual it is a long one
Flashpoint tab is gone
yeah, on top of the new content gold ^^
This flash point didn't have a lot of benefits honestly... Just transogen rss and a little event currency.
Today's G6 is incredibly fast compared to grades of previous eras. You could make it to 66 f2p in 6-12m pretty easily.
the events were moved to it's own bucket
it'll be back when it starts again
oh yeah, thats the other thing, i dominate every flashpoint event at 60... but g6 i wont even be able to finish my sms 3 ^^
@silver parcel got yah.
with mirror speedups and revenant refinery, it's insane what a f2p can progress
Yup. For me its either revert, or I will finish the entire generation of economy before moving into the next one.
Yeah faster than 6months .. Well maybe not if you are completely free to play
And I feel like those of us who are lower spenders / F2P need to be more vocal about slowing out pace of play if thats our plan. Thats directly in contrast to what Scopely says they want (they want to push us towards upcoming G7!), but the recent arcs and hostiles punish people who push ops faster in an attempt to get more spending.
Well Scopes - I see right through ya and I ain't pushing! And if I ain't pushing as hard, maybe I don't need the monthly battlepasses....
2 months if you saved up a ton and skipped most g6 stuff. 6m sounds reasonable to be a strong 66 tho
(In the current economy, not sure if you mean when it launched)
There's barely any reason to stay in early G6 anyway I feel like
Honestly ... there is a lot of ops limited research and 66 doesn't unlock a whole lot
Lot of hazard particle research
Can't really save mats if you're 60, gotta move to 61 first.
and 61 is the p1ata and officer auction grave besides insane flashpoint requirements ^^
Scrap rev, have speedups grinded, rev tokens, comp chest exchange, weekly chestsβ¦
Not the mats itself, but the pulls can absolutely be saved up
With the current loops I'd encourage g5 to stay g5, low g6 is a killzone with absurdly higher demands and more time needed
From what I heard, until you have every loop to the point where you're okay spending nearly your entire kill limit in MU space, stay in G5 π
The problem in early g6 is that you have to invest into the wrong things or rush up. There is no good camping point before 66 since the 63s are just so bad that itβs best to skip them. But the new content also requires them at high tiers so youβre just sitting there grinding with an inadequate 60 while saving the mats to go to 66. The first 2-6 months of g6 are just torture
If you're camping 60, then you're camping MU too. It's an unfortunate forever atm.
basically this yes
68 easily doable with t12 ent d
70s too
my max was 6x15h per 100 chests today
ooof. Well hopefully by the time I get there, there's more stuff to do to ease that pain!
Well a maxed epic at ops 60 can farm 68 mirror and get speeds for the future, but doesn't do any good without the mats and sigma
I had my rep at like 200-300b and saved up like 200 15h speedups+ grinded another 200 until I had max rep. I barely got to 66 in two months with next to no research done, no mats left and almost out of speedups. But that was a lot of grinding, most people start struggling at like 64-65 and get stuck in the void
Yeah, you can get to 68, but the game's going to require a lot of warp range and events hostile/IE requirements that an entD struggles with as you look to finish.
Youβll likely have the option of a strong vindicator, rela or trashcan by the time you get there. Neither of those ships could have carried me because I basically had just unlocked them
Does the relativity have research for hazards? I know GS and Vindi do...
the vindi will need another 2 years until it can carry you π€£
It's entirely possible to skip a lot of content and just grind out mats/speedups to reach 70. Seems kinda boring though.
It doesnβt have the hazard research, but it can be stronger than your g5e with more warp range available. The faction ships donβt have a lot of hazard resistance either imo so donβt think that should be your main factor
Ah good to know. Sounds kinda like the NSEA on a G4 capped server.
Unless you go all in on it in the event store
i go all in on lorca SP there, sry ^^
The irony is, now that sigma speedups can be farmed in small quantities beginning in G4 through the transogen refinery... I do wonder how much MU I'll actually need to grind by the time I slog up to lvl 60.
Not exactly, the Nsea is hugely power inflated compared to the vindi or trashcan. Rela is a similar, but the difference between the number and actual combat power isnβt as big
I been going all in the relativity honestly... it will get stronger than the cube free to play...
Better warp range too
Rev, rela, vindi, dolamide, Lorca sp for me
If I can get everything, my Lorca is pretty strong tho
oh the answer is easy... not enough ^^
I'm sure it won't be enough haha... but I am curious how much I'll need by the time I get up there. I guess Spock's Club is my answer for that.
I mean itβs an hour or two per day
I was hoping this would scale more... by the time I got that high π€£
The notebook artifact helps more there, but only gives sigma in g6 afaik
Guess it will get better. Does G4 hvae those sigma too?
Yea I think its 40 minutes a day?
At my transforge level at least
Just working on these two for now
But I made my pull so not sure exactly...
Yeah the storybook gives sigma speedups
Definitely working on that
3 hours a day on level one, not sure where it ends
hmmm... maybe i won one slb too many, why you only pull 2 mastery artifacts? ^^
Do you have a screen of the daily speeds?
3 hrs not bad. I wonder if there is a chart for these
There is somewhere, not sure where Iβve seen it tho
it's in the making t2 of the storybook
seems a bit slow, OPs60 got like 494 hours normal speeds up
Wasnβt filled out yet, but had this style #β‘-guides-and-infographics message
Sigma speed up sourcing is pants
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O-heujKW5R-OtNGjNjn7wQ_N0j_e95QpkvkuwdWmS3I/edit?gid=863036221#gid=863036221&range=B20:AL21 work in progress it seems
indeed
t3 of the storybook seems to be 6hours of sigma daily
Iβll take anything that reduces the grind tbh
yeah, the artifacts themselves are not bad (more iso is always nice) and it takes no extra clicks to pull
iso has reached the diminishing return by now, only cascade makes me joyful
Lot of defense for iso damage now too.
check a hurak battlelog, they are onto it with their design ^^
I also like the cheap two sigma speed up chests in DTI, two times these for dirt cheap is nice, but I bet it doesn't get any better anymore?
Canβt atm, but I was mainly talking about stuff like (solo) armadas or hostiles with small iso defense. I also noticed the first round of solo waves hostiles still take some damage from iso so thatβs good
yeah, old content, but old content is that, old
Krefos, g6 solos and solo waves are still pretty important π and Iβm pretty sure one of the newer content hostiles/IEs doesnβt have any iso defense
all waves are, but i dont do anything besides solo anymore... too much grind
would love to max my sloan, but naaa
Drop ships donβt have iso defense
And I think IEs donβt have it either
RNG on that chest is π©
many people play games to escape reality, not to get confronted by it
Well, I wonβt be playing this game for much longer because I feel totally alone all the time
Itβs not an MMO anymore. It feels like single player to me.
I guess youβre playing your silent games as well
So 60 Freebooters are nerfed?
nerfed how
There are none, system is empty, they are no more.
server number?>
S11
They were gone earlier, came back and are now gone again. Apparently an additional hour of maintenance wasnβt enough.
Attack a hostile, reboot. Change system, reboot. Reboot, reboot.
Lag is bad on 57 again
Apparently other player ships arenβt showing as well.
I can confirm its empty. I am on s11 as well. Axo"Tae is a ghost system. It had been populated about an hour ago and now nothing.
I canβt assign some ships to docks. Anyone else having this problem?
I have issues with crew like that so just chang docks
One of those things I live with when it happens
This is what happens when you let the interns create the arcs and program. 
Added to the list.
π₯³
hell froze over
Nice update. What about alliance tournaments? Folks are staring at the clock on those choice tokens.
The clock was extended on those
Hey it was. Thanks!
@heady moon any word on rebalancing the Tarq Tag loot box pull requirements for G6? And changing it to guaraunteed directives? Even if the IE's aren't required for the IMS, we still can't even do them from bad sourcing
yeah was set to expire tomorrow, they extended it until the end of the month
hopefully with the tournament somewhere in there
@heady moon whilst you're here bud - my archive seems to have broken. Can't get the last 3 stages of Frank-A archive despite meeting both requirements...
You need to open a support ticket #π½-how-to-contact-support
I would suggest the email option
Hello and Good evening to all
@heady moon changes sound good, let's see if they actually work
That and from what I saw not a single server made it to the fourth ims
#β-official-announcements message if you remove the events forever, then we will be stuck with these forever π
They mentioned that they'll change...
just like all the other useless items we havev collecting space dust
there alots what part mentioned missions?
You need better sourcing for invading entities!
Event Missions: Event Missions will still continue to function and be based off βstagesβ of the IMS events. Instead of tracking the various stages, it will be referencing the different milestones of Stage 1 and Stage 2 respectively.
Sounds more likely to be completed, assuming they don't keep ridiculous milestone numbers.
Hope they make the RNG a little more favorable for us on the Honorguard/Vanguard directives with the change to the Flashpoint they just announced
Starting "event missions"
I have full confidence that RNGeezus still hates me.
π€£ thanks. like i noted way to much information to digest
So we now make it about mining the resource that only g6 can mine consitently? Way to read the roomβ¦.
Yeah, but you'll get hazard resistance exocomps that will hopefully last long enough for you to get a decent cargo.
Transogen Hazard Resistance Exocomp i like but how much %
and not have cooldowns of 7 days per exocomp
Wanna bet 15% so it doesn't fully cover it
@heady moon can we get an autocomplete of this mission since stage 4 is DOA?
that would quadruple the time you could spend out though? almost three hours of mining would probably still be worth it
And hopefully not be as ridiculously expensive as the cargo ones in the event store.
Will raise this.
so i update the game yet this is still happening
If only it kept giving you the rewards
facts
Not our fault that they canβt fix the issue, almost like false advertising since we donβt get it
@heady moon so no apology from the dev responsible for trashpoint events
And scopley continue push the broken content on us
After last time announcements about trashpoint will be adjusted how much credibility is behind this so called changes this time coming?
And where is our compensation chest for last trashpoint run ?
Yes please. 24000 for a single chest is just busted.
Trashpoint. Hmmm much better name for it. lol
Hm. Some progress.
The milestones of today's events are still ridiculous. The reason I've done nothing in Trashpoint.
I had that happen a few weeks ago eventually it did stop
still no one got stage 3 done but a bit better than last time
no stage 3 now so we better beat this if not then its OUR FAULT
i am just wonding how incursion will play out
we can blame....
knowing scopely they will have increased the hostile milestones π
So no stage 4, how we gonna complete the mission? Lol
event mission will be changed to reflect the new ones
- Event Missions: Event Missions will still continue to function and be based off βstagesβ of the IMS events. Instead of tracking the various stages, it will be referencing the different milestones of Stage 1 and Stage 2 respectively.
ya but were going ot have to kill 500k mobs lol
gotta kill 100 flashpint madas
And they will prob make it so if your not able to hit hostile of your ops your gonna have 1k mobs for ur sms
Well, 2k is the hostile limit per day.
Whens next hurak invasion?
Or 2.5k, something around there.
kill dropships and collecting 1700 tags
Thursday Eric
but what about people that work 30-50 hours a week how are we going to play the game?
scopely dont care about people who work lol
Quit and become a content creator so your gaming is paid for by your fans?
Theyβll still find a way to Bork this next hurak-tua invasion. I see inflated scoring reqs coming, especially if madas and hostiles both count
they knew what they was getting into when they installed the game
we have yet to see how unreasonable the refined isogen IMS is, or how the combined stage 1 will look, so don't be to quick to accept the blame
Anyone have or heard a tournament start date?
Nothing yet
Haven't heard anything yet, but guessing not this week unless they suddenly come out with a notice today.
when i started, I could do everything daily in a hour
and now lol
Well now i pretty much just send out miners to die and read GC drama
but gc drama is so funny
def when its a whale
Its funner then actually playin this game lately
cryin that a poor ship blew up his ship cuz his researech sucked
and i come in here
and see ppl cryin pver stuff
i love eati g snacks and gettin on here LOL
so funny
this server has the most drama i have ever seen on discord
Level 60 Freebooters are gone again in server 11.
Iβve seen worse
What's a good crew too use against the chasers
brb about to eat one pf these
Pike Moreau Tβllan is good
italian beef sandwich
I'll give it a go I'm only trying to do the level 62's thanx
snw pike, s31 georgiou, snw pelia, paris, kim, neelix, torres, wok joachim, fill the last slots with personal preference
Oh ok
I'll give it a go thanx
I had a Level 50 Vrax in 65 QuβForna transogen token with its spawned hostile chaser parked in the rim, other side of the system. It had approx 7m cargo onboard; system has 3m nodes, and it had already moved nodes a few times. I moved from a non empty node to another mining node and about a minute later it was killed by 62 Suliban Transport (while I wasnβt watching).
This is the second time in a day, different transogen token system, about the same ~immediate kill by a hostile. Iβm suspicious thereβs a percent chance of the chaser unparking or respawning, either a new βfeatureβ or a bug.
Anyone else seeing similar or know a confirmed cause? Filing a ticket shortly. S30 around 5:02pm Pacific fwiw.
Poor Una from SNW is rarely used. I however, think sheβs a great officer.
One of my wave defense besties!
I also use her in waves along with SaviΔ
WoK Saavic is so good in waves.
Do you get ome of those special gifts for that?
Iβll talk to yβall later. I have a lot of paperwork to do.
Itβs tough, but fun being an admiral

Lol
Oh well setting a 7 day shield π‘ π
oh boy adjustments for something no one wants. should have just scrapped it.
The whole freezing the chaser was a bug, live with it and move on
I've had it happen a couple time, where moving off a node spawns a chaser. Luckily I was watching for it from reports on the discord, but its very odd behavior
its not that the chaser is unfreezing but a new one is inexplicably spawning
I had it happen when my miner leveled up after draining a node.
How is everyone doing?
Rot doesn't have a great firing pattern to kill these. I'd try an entD and adjust the lower deck crew to kill in the first round (nothing that ramps like hugh).
Sorry if this is the wrong area, I was wondering if anyone alliances are looking for new members? Again sorry if this is the wrong place for this message.

Anyone know what the last maintenance was supposed to fix? Game is still messed up, didnβt notice any fixes.
Backend stuff.
They cleared all the stuck/ghost ships π€£
π€·ββοΈ yeah, ent d is better, or its the officer tier, or ft, or ct, or or or
Game is so bad after updating⦠pretty sure chimps can do a better job
I have a question. Since they're adjusting the IMS, what are they going to do about the mission that I have that I can't do, since the event ended and my server didn't get to the fourth stage?
It will remain in our mission menu for all eternity, to remind us of this terrible arc.
Anyone ever seen this from trying to log into Scoply ID
Just set a 30day and skip this horrid arc. Thats what im doing
Where can I find the redemption codes when they are posted?
Not factual, both equally perform just fine.
I agree that the D has more capability at the first round, but if someone is in too deep and have officers that are maxed to the teeth (which is the minority), then you have a solid chance at winning.
With most ships
Officer sourcing has improved since the daily event change. The last few arcs will make things a little less stressful in a couple months
Yes, factually. The size and shape of the damage output and firing pattern matter a lot. The targets do a lot of damage in round 2, and if you can avoid that, then you're doing well. The damage output of the entD > rot in round 1. You can see this on stfc.space and looking at the guns that fire then.
Research also notwithstanding
Only my Pike and Pelia are maxed. Difference is my research for both ship types are the same as well as FC. If anything the Rot performs better with more hull leftover. No FT nor CT on both ships.
Both ships went two rounds to kill.
A level 70's performance with both ships are going to be vastly different than a 65's. If both ships are capable of killing the target in round 1 gun 1, then they're going to have similar results. But when you're struggling with the content, the ship that has ~50% more damage than the other will be better.
I expect to see that performace with a well entrenched player against a hostile at the same ops
This arc does not deliver that at this time.
Nope, the person above either lacks research, FC and or tech on the Rot. His performance should have been equal as well with two max ships.
So this is not you?
Iβm talking about the first person that Candle claimed the Rot is not as good.
Gotcha.
It's not as good for the person who's using it. And it won't be as good for most people due to the damage/fp. It can be equal if you severely outclass the target.
Is the trippy graphic a new feature?
it is if you like it
Yet my shipβs performance being equal proves that incorrect, ops lvl doesnβt make a variance or that would continue up from ops 65 to 70. Interceptors donβt magically become better at ops 70.
you cant compare someone punching up to someone punching down LoL
It matters a lot, keep hitting higher and higher targets. You'll find that when you struggle, the better gun/strategy will shine.
I also get the daily advise page extended viewing as an extra bonus
yeah the game's in rough shape. i get the tip from lady yunalesca a dozen times or more a day.
My " extended viewing " is frozen screens 'preparing '. Unless this too is a new feature π
Eh the flashpoint revamp seems better. Guess we will see. Overall the first attempts were really bad. So can only get better!
Rot actually did a bit better for me
Someone at scoply is going to read that and say "Hold my beer" and we will see milestones needing 1k kills
Both pvp set for ft/ct
Are you able to adjust crew to kill it in round 1 gun 1?
Punch up and test, this down hitting is sad
No. 2nd round best for epics
Show me your lower deck.
Try removing Hugh, and putting in a damage officer like Saavik or suder.
Pve ft may have done it. Need to check lorca skill make sure he's on hostiles as well
You can get away with not having hugh if you have a high tier cascade
Hugh's not good if you can crew enough to kill it in the first shot.
They did worse. Both low tier so weren't much help.
Do they have a high tier metreon cascade?
High damage with increased crit chance. It does wonders.
Are you critting every shot?
No
That's too much variance to test with.
Right now, your damage output is too low, and you're pushing the fight into round 2. Where you end up killing it in round 2 is going to matter a lot when comparing these two ships. The firing patterns are so different.
I haven't put much into khan's crit chance vs hostiles yet so that would help
Kill it early in the round, and your results favor one ship, kill it late or middle, it might favor the other.
There is a sweet spot in round 1, where the entD can kill the target in one shot, while the rot cannot.
My issue is still the hazard without the prime tho
%40 hazard protection doesn't do a lot
Oh no, similar results to mine with an ops 66. π€
Unfortunately, they have a lot of variables that aren't maxed. For you, you should be able to kill it in round 1 with the ent.
I love my cube so much that I never tried killing these things with the D
I am such a square. 
Yep like the first guy lacking research on interceptors compared to explorers.
The cube seems very popular. The Ent E is popular if you have it too.
Show me your lower deck, and we'll see if we can improve the performance of the entD for you.
Running the same crew as the current guy you recommended removing Hugh for saavik or Suder.
And the Saavik/suder replacement wasn't enough for you either?
Also, are you critting every shot?
I am only at 64 right now. The E is a little out of reach for me right now.
My assumption that people are using a decent metreon has been questioned today. It's some of the hardest pve content in the game, and it's exactly where I would use it.
Just making small steps and punch higher than my weight
Will chat on more later. Gotta finish work
Has there been any word on the next tourney?
Zero change, other than more shield left for both, but thatβs irrelevant. Both ships sustain the same hull damage and the Rot will last longer with more hull to begin with.
EntD is still a round 2 kill?
It is.
I'd try this.
Really, give up damage and use Paris? Okay.
Luke Skywalker, Ren Skywalker, Lia Skywalker on bridge.
Everything Sith below deck..
ππ
<@&509690795536941056> The chance for the upgrade material for research in transogen refinery needs to be upped. Have been pulling max every day and have not gotten any yet. That is complete bs!
You can move paris off for more damage, but the harrison change should be significant enough.
If i had khan's ability maxed and a good pve ft/ct on there it might put me into the round 1 kill
What are you fighting?
^
Metreon's fantastic in pve, it's so much crit chance. Should be capable of always critting with it.
I haven't tiered that yet
Hi any idea on when the next alliance tournament will be?
Mainly just use agony booth for pve not worth swapping ft's constantly
No announcement yet. They'll give us enough days notice beforehand though.
I have the Temporal Conduit on this ship, so put BLT below decks for hull breach
Not sure if it scales up for your level, but I've been killing the 58s with this.
Ouch, worse performance and still 2 rounds. I definitely donβt agree getting rid of Ent E Troi for Paris. I will run again with her back in.
And the Rot performs better yet again.
They're both round 2 kills though. It's not the result I'm looking for. Odd that you aren't killing it with so much power with the entD. What CT/FT is on it?
None for both. Pure ship performance, which was the issue being addressed.
Are you critting every shot with both ships?
No. Tech might change that, but this was which ship was superior for their firing pattern.
Piercing might be hurting ent
1st round firing pattern yes ent has an edge but with far less piercing less damage is getting thru
games locked up and lagged out again
It's going to change the outcome a lot if you aren't making use of them to stabilize the testing. Also, you're leaving potential on the table. With crits, I can kill it in round 1.
The all kinetic on the Rot is what made it a pvp killer, that also has benefits in pve.
Min/max damage 1st round goes to ent. Crit damage same tho
Achieving a round 1 kill is easier with the entD than the rot. It deals 50% more damage in round one, and it's with one gun, rather than 2.
No tech changes it, it no longer becomes about which ship is better, the tech is what is superior. Sure want to spot me the wasted rods to move tech around that are on superior ships now. I can accept Apple gift cards. π
Google for me k thx
The tech makes a round 1 kill consistent, rather than hope for RNG to crit all 6 shots, you just get it. If you don't get a crit, then you're pushing the fight into round 2, and then it's open to more variables.
It would be a round 1 for both and the Rot with more hull will still have more hull and the D will still have less.
Depends what ppl have invested in. If I put more acclaim into ent it would be bigger
For you perhaps, but because it's easier to achieve round 1 kill on an ent, more people should have the option available.
I was running pure ships, both maxed with same crews. Rot wins every time.
Right tech on both youβre getting round 1 kill for both.
Where is the Treasury? I thought there was still time left?
With a gun 1 kill, the ent doesn't have to eat the hostile's second+ shots. Where you kill it in round one matters.
My point was that first guy obviously was running poor tech on his rot or his research on Inteceptors was less than Explorers.
Oh, now you want to change it further. Got it.
No, I think there are too many factors to state which would have been the better ship. Your point is valid there. But it's not an equal ship when you make use of the capabilities it offers.
The rot and D kills at the same point round 1. Rot still wins. Sigh.
My personal opinion too i liked the rot
It was silly how well it punched up on cubes and bigger 6* ships so easily.
The rot is 1/3rd of the damage of the entD after gun 1 fires. If you can kill it there, the entD wins. If the rot gets to fire again, it can reach 66% of the ent's damage in round 1. But that's the end of round 1.
For me, that's the better ship for these kinds of fights. No need to take extra damage from all the hits. Just punch it hard and fast at the start.
So how bout that βback endβ fix? Didnβt fix anything, same bugs,same glitches oh the update just added to it all. Took 5 minutes and 4 reboots just to move to a new system, pop a shield after having my base hit and never once got a txt notification
#πΎ-bug-reporting is best place to report features that are glitches or bugs that seem like features
It also helps when you support ticket #π½-how-to-contact-support
These two things might help you

It doesnβt help. It took them 3 weeks to βunstuckβ my ship after sending over a dozen reports
Have you had someone try to hit your ship?
at least you're not stuck claiming events every few minutes of gameplay like a time loop.
Yep I tried all the tricks in the playbookβ¦
I hit cloak ships all the time so I know
I wish we had a phase cloak like the USS Pegasus
I actually was at resetβ¦ endless loop of some ferengi event for 15 minutes π
Hereβs proof that βreportingβ doesnβt workβ¦. Why are the nodes not resetting when theyβre empty and pulling miners off? It requires a reboot of the game. Canβt multitask either because the moment I go from grinding in 1 system, and βlocatingβ another grinding elsewhere. All hostiles disappear and same thing goes for mining
And the 0 node issue has been around since before Stella introduction
How long can you stay online at any given time?
So where are the βfixesβ that crapely βclaimsβ?
Because for some reason I get kicked out every 12 hours
I usually let the system full load before pulling a miner. Seems to prevent that 0 node problem since I've never seen it since.
Itβs probably something to do with the daily resets. Theyβre being two of them at least that I know of.
Iβve stayed on for 19 hours straight during 2 Iss jellyfish events running armadas
In any case, reporting here isn't the right place. The bug reports channel is better, so that mods can keep track of emerging issues with the game. You should also write a ticket if you need assistance from customer support.
That was so long ago π
Have we had any word on when the next tourney will be?
none at all
Don't know if anyone has seen it yet but scan your ship or a hostile ship look at the resistances there's a new one Transorigin Transit Resistance I saw the announcement about the excomp but since Excomps aren't permanent that means there has to be something new coming either research or some new piece of technology that provides Hazard resistance since I've also noticed that you can't buy the Stasis Globe anymore in the store nor find any way to earn parts for it making it so that nobody but level 60 plus can get Hazard resistance currently
Lorca good for PvP?
It's a conspiracy I tell you it's all conspiracy
All this talk about bypassing shields for the Suliban made me want to experiment and see if I could apply this to Silents (trying to push off building my Pilum until the next spend eventβ¦) fun to experiment and see how high I can punch using this techniqueβ¦
Still nothing about AT --- we π© on that flashpoint events
This makes me thinkβ¦ if you have an explorer, SNW J Kirk - SNW Spock - SNW Scotty could be an excellent crew for Hurak Dropships. Skip the shields, and focus all of Scottyβs iso cascade into the hullβ¦
Hm think with all the Battle pass event currency I have claimed today my overflow would be done several times
Apart from wok Joachim what other officers reduce iso damage?
Pella
Pelia
Hey i was wondering is this game f2p friendly im thinking of playing it?
run
not f2p friendly in the slightest
If you measure yourself against others, the game has strong p2w elements. But if you're looking for a f2p game with tons of free content, then yeah, it has years of it.
It is doable and can be enjoyed but will be slow to progress on specialty ships
Has years of if wether the game is still here in years is another thing
Here f2p is translated more like 'free to pay'β¦
u cqn do it f2p but there needs to be some patience
im f2p and im 60 rn, can beat spenders in pvp, pve is not much issue. so it is doable
Yes For the umpteenth time Scopely I know I have them but they never actually arrive to open just count down then reset timer
dont think u can post your support tickets here, i think mods will remove it
Have before
They most likely will
Anyone else having issues with this?
What am I supposed to do with the millions of 3* transogen canisters I own?
Nada
pretend it no longer exists
great
I wanted to give the game a try but heard its hard f2p
not that hard now, its certainly been btr
but its just laggy, events has some issues here and there. definitely doable tho
Just try and join a good alliance
It is doable and nothing is locked away just takes time once you reach a higher point.
Depends but if you like grinding a lot the current game is way more f2p friendly than what it was 1 or 2 years ago
Key thing to FTP is to get into a good alliance, complete your daily tasks and focus on events. If you want to get to high levels quickly there's no way to do that without paying really.
i can kill a lot of spenders despite being f2p so it all comes down to research that u have finished
but theres not a lot of events that need u to pvp and even so theres a lot of ppl that help others finish even when theres a pvp event
Do the factions matter?
technically yes but also no
no, u will end up maxing them all at some point π
unless you're that guy the other day that wanted to keep rom neg π€£
π
Yes . That's best and sometimes only way to get the ship or ships you want. But don't need to choose just one faction
I kinda wish the game did the faction picking when u start the game changes your base aethestics and such
Would make the game more unique
so i said yes because factions kinda decide the ships available to you. at the start you'll most likely have 1 or 2 factions positive and 1 negative. by g5 u should have all 3 positive. at the same time, no because all ships generally can get the job done
yeah i thought so too in the beginning. but no
some ships are generally better but in all honesty all ships will do the job perfectly fine
Im installing the game is there anything I should know before I play?
its not a race, its a marathon
your credit card number and security code by heart to progress π
dont spend money in the beginning, and when u going to start spending, ask from ppl in your alliance or here if is worth it
yes, especially in the beginning as u dont know anything about the game yet
Some still donβt know anything about the game after playing for years
u r absolutely right
they throw their card and stuff pop
