[foggy parrot]

I have this fantastic new idea for new content, it will be the greatest, everyone will say how fantastic it is, we're gonna take the sarris invasion stuff and "retire" it, and here's the best bit, it's so great, everyone will think so, we reskin it with 8472 hostiles and nobody will know, because we'll call it vger 8472 and it will be the best ever, and we'll make it so hard, so hard, and it will be the greatest, and then we can sell packs to make it easier and it will make us loads of money because it will be the best ever, it will be the greatest, it will be fantastic, and nobody will know we just changed the sarris invasions with a new name and new skins, it's a sure win, and the players will love it, everyone will love it and think it's the greatest, the greatest thing ever!

[split storm]

So the 70s just delete me. And the next hostile down is 65? Really?

[echo schooner]

Will all the research for the defunct saris now work on the new hostiles or is the relativity etc not any use for hostiles like this now

[silent torrent]

how are you seeing 65 and 70 without noticing the neighbouring 66-69 systems are also flagged?

[slow isle]

There was never any research for Sarris stuff, I think?

[echo schooner]

I mean all the invading entity research….

[muted cape]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

look again

[echo schooner]

The relativity has increased damage against invading ‘krenim’ hostiles which essentially don’t exist anymore just the armardas, (I think)

[peak sedge]

My rewards from the 'new' 8472 grind: 1 Borg Hugh shard and 750 Officer Depot tokens. With the greatest respect Scopely, you can stick that somewhere deep, dark, and unpleasant.

[muted cape]

the "Krem Entities" still exist,

[vivid fog]

What a silly even as usual, it sucks.... 😡

[echo schooner]

Aren’t they just armardas, I haven’t really engaged with it so I’m sorry if I’m wrong

[dull mason]

so what's

BROKEN

[untold ingot]

is this a joke with the new vger bio hostiles

[echo schooner]

Wasn’t the relativity good against the invasion events?

[untold ingot]

lvl 59 stronger than 61 and 62 ones?

[muted cape]

no there Invading Entities they just look like armadas

[placid zinc]

any guesses to where my points will be in 6 days?

ozempic?

[fossil scarab]

Who tryna 1v1 me in fortnite

[wispy pebble]

Wow easy reachable event goals again i see 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[fallow sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/nada-zero-gif-20868308

[little violet]

haha, so no elite directives in the outpost pass.. Lame

[fossil scarab]

Imma get absolutely cooked

[dull mason]

They picked out from ALL Star trek the wrong lore, because it makes no sense
V'GER Was A Solo Entity. ..
End of. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[fossil scarab]

Life feels like an arm wrestle with data

[placid zinc]

feeling like a skip

[next quartz]

So this event makes no sense to me.

[main marten]

You say this like you expect the people who make this game to have any actual knowledge of Star Trek

[formal dragon]

@queen jolt what is this awful rehash of Fatty Crepes doing here? Take it away immediately. 🤮🤮🤮

[dull mason]

Wishing and hoping

[peak sedge]

From the people who gave the famous Morale Officer: Harry Kim 😆

[next quartz]

These point milestones were concocted by AI or something. We should be able to kill these things without completely maxed ships for our ops level.

[little violet]

So can someone with the excelsior summon those bio ships and can they be taken down with regular ships without the excelsior?

[fossil scarab]

Harry shoulda gotten lieutenant before tuvok got commander

[next quartz]

they just appear in the systems with the rehashed logo. This whole event is Sarris 2.0.

just like how the Excelsior is Voyager 2.0

[little violet]

Ah so not really cloaked v'ger then

[echo schooner]

The targets are impossible! Or as we now know Scopley achievable

[harsh meteor]

yep, and without the premium mirror dust to make it worth farming

[normal elm]

did i miss the Maintenance? 😢

[next quartz]

Yeah, it's a skip for me. I can only kill up to 55's in this event. Whoever thought to make anything between 55-58 in anywhere but hazard space should be slapped. I mean this that it's silly to not have more systems with more ways to get at these hostiles than getting into hazard space as any sub ops 60 player

[little violet]

A spend event without the Vengeance sms running.. Weeeeeee

[whole robin]

https://tenor.com/view/advertisement-ozempic-type2diabetes-gamer-xander-solecki-gif-17022385

[little violet]

Got to say this sarris store is worth it...

Now, lets see if we can beat them 🤣

[ashen briar]

I beg to differ…🙄😡

[hot tartan]

So, you literally copy/pasted the old Invasion event and instead of being themed on Galaxy Quest, its V'ger?

[night frigate]

Scopely couldn;t shelf Sarris event without a replacement

That's even worse

Sarris is much ebtter than this

[normal elm]

better than making something new with a ton of new bugs 😄

[placid zinc]

can you do a 59

[nocturne gate]

Lets cancel sarris and then reskin it as new heavier event🤦‍♂️🤔

[placid zinc]

all they had to do was add systems and higher hostiles

[nocturne gate]

Atleast make milestones and payouts easyier

[little violet]

How tough are the 71's?

[hot tartan]

I can do 58's no breeze and barely a scratch..... 59's must have spent more time at the gym cause boom on first shot!

[opal roost]

They hurt, with a decent epic the are doable. I have a t13 krencha and dropper down to 70

[rare talon]

Same, 68 is easy and 69 I go boom

[untold ingot]

59er just 125mrd power XD

[tepid lotus]

How many rounds of combat in the 58 vs the 59's?

[little violet]

My ents tier 12 so I will do the 70's

[untold ingot]

61er just 100mrd XD

[placid zinc]

tell me how it goes, i'm going to start with 69

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/tango-tango-man-tango-ad-orange-man-slap-gif-12944769

[tepid lotus]

Do these 8472 bioships have a go home canon on round 8 too?

[dull mason]

Scopley

[little violet]

Still doing Cow so will be a little while

[fierce hare]

Refinery for Signal Observatory is broken its not leting me buy ship bp allways pops server error

[limpid bloom]

With a t10 vengeance i can easy hit 73, the 74 are something different

[little violet]

I just wanna get a Vengeance 🤣

[limpid bloom]

💸💸💸😉

[little violet]

I'll get it free 😛

[potent summit]

These V'ger ships are like Sarris ships hard to click on to attack it pain in the ass

[little violet]

Have the plan laid out for the 72 Academy and R&D should net me about 300+ bps

[muted cape]

ROund 10

[tepid lotus]

Ah, go home cannon after 10 ronds.

[little violet]

PLus I should get some bps from the RLB with it

[warm pivot]

good old glass cannon builds 😄

[limber wharf]

I believe the milestone targets are too high 🤦

[little violet]

So they don't have massive apex for the SNW officers, huh?

[warm pivot]

nah, i just took the opportunity to read their abilities first ^^

[formal dragon]

178 million for 1 chest pull???? Are you having a laugh??

[warm pivot]

just kill them within 9 rounds and be good

[little violet]

So like other species with the voyager

[fossil scarab]

Soooooooo guys? The bell riots didn't happen. That taken into account I'm 90% sure we live in the mirror universe

[lapis marten]

Is this normal? I regularly find that I reduce hostiles shots to 0 and take no damage but they’re doing it to me now? 🙈

[next quartz]

Nope. Too much apex barrier for my ships. the go home gun fires

[limber wharf]

Just copy paste work from fatu krey what else to expect 🤣

[drifting arch]

stupid question...how? lol

[little violet]

Yes with the star path research

[placid zinc]

go home gun at 10... plus 4

[warm pivot]

easy, just pick the crew that does most damage in shortest amount of time ^^
hope you know which one i mean 😄

[lapis marten]

How does that work? It’s the bottom shot on my log im concerned about. How are they preventing my weapons from firing?

[little violet]

Nvm I didn't see your damage as 0 🤣. what are their ship abilities?

[placid zinc]

what was that NX crew back in the day... pike ent e-data harrison?

[warm pivot]

you ll need more than 1 round

[lapis marten]

That’s weird. Not sure if that’s intended or a bug but if we can’t fire all of our normal shots then how do we take them down in 10 rounds 🙈 nothing in the abilities that I think would do that

[next quartz]

Mine went to round 17 I guess

[urban cosmos]

Janeway, Doctor, Annorax in my D'Deridex had not too many problems.
Took a few trips but was able to smash out about 25 per trip in Lanasta which is also a Hazard System 🤮

[peak sedge]

https://tenor.com/view/anthony-adams-rubbing-hands-together-spice-adams-vyd3n-meme-man-behind-tree-meme-gif-2569343513927502347

Scopely watching all player rage knowing they'll all be buying the officer/ship/building that makes it all easy

[next quartz]

lol, it makes me want to uninstall more than anything.

[drifting arch]

i have a few ideas lol so yeah, can try it out

[warm pivot]

who is raging? its easy to complete ^^

for some easier than for others... but thats the old vger line

[burnt briar]

if u can hit one

im js my screen freezes every attack

[dull mason]

They took place in. Sanctuary district's, the US currently have cities and 🌬️🧊 are there

[limber wharf]

Yeah they should keep the low 60s out of hazard systems

[burnt briar]

im glad im not spending another dime on this game fr

[wispy pebble]

Taking the @&£% the point

[wheat notch]

can't delay and mitigate your way out of the Go Home Gun ... have to lean into dps.

[burnt briar]

how bout we stop trying to sugar coat the state of the game and tell it like it really is

[shy sequoia]

How to alienate your player base in 1 easy step

1. don't play the game

[dull mason]

Do just daily

[little violet]

Scouts are every 15 minutes?

[dull mason]

Now is the time of the Summoning 🤣

[peak sedge]

It's funny, I started filling in the little Scopely survey they sent out and got to the question "What was your favourite moment in STFC" and it hit me. I don't have one. Not a single moment comes to mind. This is all just addiction and autopilot 😢

[little violet]

If you meant me. Can't summon Sigma scouts 😛

Guess I will know in 3 minutes

[dull mason]

Hope, I was combining 8472 and highlander 🤣

[little violet]

64 what?

[muted cape]

I can kill 13 x 68 with this crew just 25 trips to complete heroic 😄

[burnt briar]

how about who cares about what u gotta kill and start caring about the game working correctly

[little violet]

I'll be trying the 70's and 71's first 😛

[burnt briar]

yall are sidetracked

[little violet]

I have to score 1.9b points so yeah got to go bigger

[muted cape]

after 7 years game is not broken. The broken parts are the game 😄

[burnt briar]

that idea is broken js

[hot token]

ST Voyager and TMP IP is probably not free.

[rose sphinx]

The event looked like: wow, Scopely gives us freebees. Reality: the regular Scopely garbage:

[mortal canyon]

Level 49 hostile with 1bn per round damage hostiles and big hull vs G4 ships 🙈

My Alt usually punches up on all content for its level but these I can't even scratch one at my level op49 😂😂

[fallow sorrel]

finished in 30 mins with the 69s 😂

[opal sleet]

We've detected some lag and honestly we don't care

[silver parcel]

woo

[little violet]

Is suder exiled on these?

[silver parcel]

no crew limit

[little violet]

why epicard then?

Extra cascade?

[wheat notch]

bc it's a dps race

[fallow sorrel]

kill them faster before round10

[whole robin]

Got disconnected then this after I reconnect lol

[silver parcel]

data will be b etter since it's not my cube

[mild leaf]

How long is "Adjusting" supposed to take? It's been 30mins so far. Is the game downloading additional data or is it internal?

[silver parcel]

forgot i swapped ships

[hot token]

Let me guess, it was tested with a modified dauntless (unlimited strength and no attack limit).

[little violet]

If on pc repair.

[fallow sorrel]

e-pic is cumulative? more?

[rose sphinx]

What's the point to kill them? For some garbage rewards because of the Scopely RNG?

[silver parcel]

e pic is better with more shots

[little violet]

I honestly think the rewards are better than the other Sarris rewards

[sharp basin]

Hints for crew against Species 8472?

[rose sphinx]

Can you say the same after you pull?

[hot token]

Regular or the fake vger ones?

[rose sphinx]

Look at my pulls. #🌌-galaxy-chat message

[fallow sorrel]

not all really. the ones with old FT/CTs is useless. even the officer one is meh

[little violet]

Ah, yeah it is all RNG, so we'll see

[hot token]

Another crudtastic event, woo.

[sharp basin]

Vger

[hot token]

No idea then.

[agile minnow]

<@&509690795536941056> how bout tell/giving scopley a slap first of terrible rehash of content then there is the points to hostile now I know they don't have a maths degree between them but no way people are spending hours hitting these terrible pointless ships

[wraith shard]

hmmm Am I seeing things, or does the '61 mob have less than the '60 mob?🤔

[steep aspen]

In my experience, the 61 is a lot weaker than the 60, now if only I could find a good system for them

[untold ingot]

try Digali XD

[dull mason]

I've had adjusting for over an hour before

[urban cosmos]

Only took me an hour 🤣

[sonic wedge]

Only an hour?

[agile minnow]

And what level are you and ship are u using against what level hostile dis it take a hour

[late loom]

so, what I see is this: no of the new mobiles in levels 65-70. 1.3M per mob. 1.1B reqiuired. -> Kill 850 of them. Not happy with this, scopeley.

[mild leaf]

Thanks

[spare bay]

Sorry scopely, we hated Fatu Kray before….and you put lipstick on a pig and call it beautiful. This is offensive you did this.

[urban cosmos]

Ops 64, T10 D'Deridex and did em in Lanasta which is also a Hazard system.
Wouldve had em done sooner but ya know............. dying to hazards and having to repair and instawarp back

Maxed rot lasted me about 10 kills lol

Probably a crewing issue, but I simply can't be bothered to mess about with crew configs

[sharp sigil]

Someone needs to tell Scopely we have lives outside the game. This is complete baloney.

[dull mason]

👆💯

[naive plaza]

10 mil points at my ops level just to pass the first wave and it's 50k per kill? Yeah nah

[opaque badger]

So Sarris event was d/ced as a failure and then a month later it gets reskinned?

[slow isle]

classic

[urban cosmos]

Nobody said it was a failure.
I for one really liked doing Fatu Krey. Easy loop and easy loot

[magic glen]

A bucket of echos indeed.

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-starmie-gif-12779450337971783964

It's amazing how they had events with score thresholds way too high, got backlash, then nerfed them. And now they've done exactly the same lmao

If it wasn’t a failure it would still be running.

[gentle flame]

Leave it to Scopely to keep screwing the same pooch and letting the player base down. How many brain cells do they have as a single organism?

[jolly aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/luke-ashish-bug-fix-code-gif-12504423

[slow isle]

and they cancelled an event like Hurak which also suffered from way too high score thresholds

[hasty hemlock]

oh no they made a new event with updated rewards and hostiles using mechanics from a retired event

[urban cosmos]

If it was still running they couldnt reskin it and label it as new content

[slow isle]

wow

[urban cosmos]

Would you rather non canonical hostiles from another universe or what we got now?

[hasty hemlock]

so? they updated it and made it more relevant

[rare garden]

Aggrigation systems have the fill in ones you are looking for.

[magic glen]

Neither.

[hushed raft]

Yet another disappointment added to the game so jog on scopely

[hasty hemlock]

some people just want to run eclipse armadas for 7 years every thursday

[whole robin]

nice mat spend 🤣

[sleek gull]

Was there supposed to be an apple update today with the maintenance

[urban cosmos]

I know some who do em every Thursday, Friday, Saturday................... you get where Im going with this and you know the types 🤣

[whole robin]

180m points over the last milestone for 30 officer shards 🤣

[muted cape]

back end no updates

[hasty hemlock]

its truly mindblowing. they need to archive that ship+events so bad

[slow isle]

yeah, going by golden avatars, NX-01 seems to be next in the pipline though, avatar is already in game

[sleek gull]

That makes sense why there’s no difference lol cheers 👍🖖

[night frigate]

Sarris event was poor tonight.....

[graceful sage]

is there an observing the opposition SMS? The first bundle in the event store says that currency comes from that SMS. don't see it?

[urban cosmos]

It was there before the Mantis was mate 🤣

[main quartz]

Looks like there is a bug in the new hostile chest costs, they have 1 maybe 2 or even 3 too many zero's on the end of the cost

[jade narwhal]

not worth doing lol

[stark latch]

1.4b points. That is only 1.2mil unc 6* mats. 15.78 mil 5* unc mats. I could litterly do every single building, research and ship for 5* and still not come close to finishing!

[mortal canyon]

Am I doing something wrong or have they borked the numbers for G4.

I can't even kill below my ops ...it's hull is too big and the damage is far too high for a normal G4 ship

[muted cape]

how many rounds?

[mortal canyon]

2-4

[whole robin]

🤮

[twilit lintel]

I want to be the very best Like no one ever was tocatch them is my real test to train them is my cause i will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power thats inside POKEMON

[mint cape]

The Milestones are much to high

[muted cape]

Crew? cannot judge from that SS

[fallow sorrel]

double pulled. utter useless store 🤣

[graceful sage]

does it reset now, for another pull in 22 hours?

[muted cape]

thats bad

[jade narwhal]

<@&509690795536941056> where is the event store where i spend the currency dropped by the new hostiles? not finding it at all

[tepid lotus]

I always thought Pokemon was wierd. You travel around, beat up and capture animals, then force them to fight each other in a "gym" until one is beaten unconscious...

[fallow sorrel]

yup. 22hr cd

[graceful sage]

it's in the bucket_echoes_of_vger_exchnage

[half shell]

The echo vger rewards are probably the worst I've seen of any event

[tepid lotus]

It's the bucket one for me.

[mortal canyon]

What does it matter 50bn damage per round vs 112m hull.

Janeway E data Doctor....

Tried Chang crew....don't say Seska Suder very few G4 will have them maxed or higher than T2/3

[jade narwhal]

ah mb

[wheat crown]

At least they didn't label it "bucket_rename_saris_invasion_event"

[fallow sorrel]

this is another useless option why have a store for 2 year old items?

[jade narwhal]

not grinding for that lmao

not worth it

[main quartz]

50b will include the go home cannon. Will be much less than that in R1-9

[half shell]

Omg a CHANCE at almost 100 uc parts THANK YOU SO MUCH scopely!!!!!!

[muted cape]

Well for one these are not normal ships....

[fallow sorrel]

except for the new Artifact, the v'ger store was designed for some other event in the beginning of 2025 and was put on hold and is now just copy-pasted into 2026

absolute c r a p store

[half shell]

"Store"

[main quartz]

they should be embarrassed about releasing that store.

[fallow socket]

The rewards for the new events are just a bad joke. Lately, the entire integrated content has been a boundless, buggy joke.

[little violet]

where are the lvl 70 V'ger?

[placid zinc]

i'd need 80 69's, and not too much fewer 70's

[placid zinc]

Thanks

[placid zinc]

game crashed or i'd do a screenshot

[mortal canyon]

It's fine no one cares and tests for mid ops players...rewards are trash anyway, easy week off from events

[timber valve]

Scopely: "We have a week break in February, what do we do? Do we do the traditional easy Lat event? Nah, lets throw the most painful grind possible. What could go wrong?

[fallow sorrel]

killing 350 of them to double pull the directives chests option and to get 82k syndicate? that's just scam

[placid zinc]

;x

rearly loosing intrest in this game fast

[placid zinc]

don't forget to do your outposts while youre killing 100 vger

[twilit lintel]

do we use voy ship?

[silver parcel]

no

[zenith canyon]

and stop running events during lame incursions events so hate that event also..

[mortal canyon]

@muted cape You can do the Picard facepalm or I challenge you to show me a G4 Battlelog with a win.

Trying to tell Scopely they have messed up for G4… but you just think I am some noob who doesn't understand the game

[civic geyser]

I’ve seen some trying to use it 🤣

[minor aspen]

where is fun in this event ????

Have to drop several levels below for this and use the NSEA, it's resistant to Magnetic Poison

What crew you used mate?

[whole robin]

hmm so this heroic SMS top goal at 70 is 447.39M, top goal at 71 is 1.42B, top goal at 73 is 1.73B, 71 players get shafted 🙁

[muted cape]

https://giphy.com/gifs/gnE4FFhtFoLKM

[twilit lintel]

i knew i should have upgraded that ship more

[whole robin]

the goal for 70 is less than 4x what their top goal is on a normal mat spend heroic SMS, the goal for 71 is more than 5x the top goal on a normal heroic mat spend SMS

[civic geyser]

Done with plenty of time to spare

[whole robin]

@queen jolt mat spend imbalance why do 70s get less of a % increase than 71 do

[toxic gale]

sry but this event for Vger is absultutly rediculess, i can normal kill 50-55's fairly easily pendong on Hostile and ships used, but the Bio Ships just wack in 1 go....
tried lvl 43 Vger Bio, that gives around 55 points, and yea can kill it if ones lucky, then you still need a total of 49,35k points to complete the sms itself, sorry but how is this Event judged at all to be good for the games state or for players with little time?

[gleaming hollow]

Unless I'm messing something where are these hostiles???
They go from level 64 in G6 space and then to 71 in G7 space and nothing in-between

[whole robin]

aggregation

[hot tartan]

14M for a single pull of (expletive), when after taking out over a hundred of them (far below my level cause their power scaling is pitiful at best)... with a power loot crew that works on the highest levels of every other hostile...... and I get maybe 2K a pop. Im not spending my entire day and evening grinding for poor scraps that I can get better from the faction stores and refineries.... just because Scopley/STFC is too money-hungry to create meaningful, halfway decent quality content, so they copy/paste a previously shelved event series and gave it a hasty paint job.

[timber valve]

Lucky you. I need 2.89Bil because ops loves to torture players

[placid zinc]

your answer is "yes"

[civic geyser]

Yeah this arc really putting me off ops up

[whole robin]

the kill SMS not that bad the mat spend SMS is stupid for G7 players % wise we get a much larger increase in the mats required than g6 players do

[silent igloo]

Give developers time to adapt... stfc is a new game for them... lucky there are no species between lvl 65 and 72... so ops 70 players are..f***

[whole robin]

a cota heroic SMS vs this heroic SMS it costs more than 5x the mats to finish, for G6 players its like 3x

[timber valve]

Ouch, that jump is nasty. All because ops things an ops 70 can kill level 70 hostiles so on and so forth

[whole robin]

$copely shafting G7 players again

[rose sphinx]

Second pull of the day. Just to confirm the rewards are pure garbage

[whole robin]

we already have rigged SLBs that only give top rewards to 3 players

[steep laurel]

No. It's fine.

uh oh

i died

killed one ship\

[fallow sorrel]

@slow isle does the artifact chest have cd too?

not after the first pulls at least

[inner bloom]

No

[whole robin]

the kill SMS is fine the mat spend is not

G7 players the heroic mat spend is more than 5x the normal goal of COTA heroic SMS, for g6 players its only about 3x

And the rewards are sooo bad unless you hit jackpot👀

[twilit lintel]

what crew you used?

[whole robin]

Janeway Suder Seska with WOK Carol Wok saavik and belanna torres below

[warm pivot]

but chance* ^^

[steep laurel]

So don't do them. Officers are not so great, and you could have them from before (CoTa)

[whole robin]

yeah I'm skipping it but it's 6days which means no choice token SMS again this weekend

after already cancelling the officer depot token SMS last weekend

[slow isle]

yeah, got 3 shards of the artifacrts with one pull and nothing great with my second pull 😬

[opal turret]

Any good crew on ops 69 for this new hostiles?

[steep laurel]

😅 On which officer would you spend tokens? Give me an advice how to spend my 1.2m tokens.

[hot tartan]

Mastercard, Visa, with Discover below decks

[whole robin]

rares if you don't have all the good ones max or WOK Carol

[whole robin]

where do I put AMEX and diners club?

[hot tartan]

You can swap Amex for Seska, but only on Sundays

[mortal canyon]

@queen jolt please let the team know that the hostiles have been over tuned for G4 players, doubt anyone else will report if you don't

[strong hamlet]

is the dauntless ability broken on purpose or what....

how do u keep doing this patch after patch after patch

[zenith canyon]

41 mill to complete event.. no thanks #

want to sleep tonight

[strong hamlet]

460mil. yeah no

[zenith canyon]

omg

[hot tartan]

espcailly when you get like 1K per shot

[tepid lotus]

Is Diner's Club still a thing? I remember my dad had one in the 80's.

[zenith canyon]

i cant even hit my level i have to drop to 58s or 59 will take longer than 24 hours..

[twilit lintel]

this crew is awesome

i can now kill way more ships

from kiling 1 to killing 6 before i die lol

[tepid lotus]

So a 600% improvement!

[zenith canyon]

same level or higher than you

and the crew is

[twilit lintel]

Janeway Suder Seska with WOK Carol Wok saavik and belanna torres below

system 59

[flat knoll]

yeah no thanks 71 give 3m per kill

[twilit lintel]

cant hit 71

g5 cant get pas 60

58

[flat knoll]

i can but not killing 500 to do pull

[strong hamlet]

doesnt work for higher. running 5 6 khan. seems to be best so far i've found

[silver parcel]

that's a new one

[zenith canyon]

i may just put a weekly shield on and take a break from the game.. incursians coming up also not a fan

[twilit lintel]

when its scopley everyday is a new bug

[zenith canyon]

incursions *

[graceful sage]

each pull is only a chance of the artifact? seems like really bad design

[tepid lotus]

Make sure you're in an under 20 system then.

[graceful sage]

at least bad for the player, nice for scopely bottom line

[tepid lotus]

Kind of like the Sarris event store in that respect.

[dawn sable]

aggregation systems, im ops60 hitting the 66s

[weary tapir]

<@&509690795536941056> , so I am lvl45, best ship is the NSEA at 74 mil, highest vger spesies ships I can comfortably hit is 39 which gives 8 points, now I need to get 7200 points to complete the SMS, how long do you think I will be busy, as I only have about 3 hours of game time a day

[twilit lintel]

ohhh yes im sure the hpstiles are over there also

[graceful sage]

i kinda of remember the bundles (armada currency ones) were you get x,y,z items guaranteed and each has a different odds of getting the low, medium high amount

[ornate berry]

Had the same thought... 😄

[twilit lintel]

ohhhhh so thats what is in thsi sytem

[tepid lotus]

There was the "chance" at directives for the chimeramadas, that was always fun.

[zenith canyon]

what hurts the most.. its a bad rehash of a bad event

[whole robin]

tell me wha'ts wrong with this picture? 🤔

[fading belfry]

so we just renamed sarris to vger? also I think the rewards are missing? I hope what's in the event store isn't it 😬

[whole robin]

the 59s have the same power as like a 63/64

[fickle geyser]

New hostiles are so strong big boys 🐒🐒🐒

[whole robin]

60s broken too

[fickle geyser]

Loving using old crews for sure.

[zenith canyon]

you know i like the new startrek academy tv series more than this event.. so that's saying something.

[fickle geyser]

Series is good for sure

[zenith canyon]

lol

[flat knoll]

i gave up after ep2

[twilit lintel]

im waitin for ep 8.9 10 and season 2

and season 3

[zenith canyon]

you would think in that time zone they would have sorted false teeth out.. she always looks like they are about to drop out

[fickle geyser]

Its actually good though. Politics behind federation and the effects of the burn on the galaxy.

[whole robin]

I got 7 sensors 1250 officer tokens and a normal hugh shard from 2 pulls

[fickle geyser]

I got naff all so cba to do event anymore 😂

[whole robin]

hey @queen jolt can you ask the dev team why they apparently hate the players please?

[fickle geyser]

chance of failure 😂

[whole robin]

this is flashpoint 2.0 🤣

[fickle geyser]

Flashpoint failure 2

[zenith canyon]

i stopped putting money into this game since they started giving out the same rewards arc after arc after arc

[fickle geyser]

Im ops 68 and not spent a penny since ops 60 lol

[zenith canyon]

dont blame you julius

[hybrid vector]

So Scopely got rid of fatu-krey hostiles because they did not meet expectations. Yet, when hitting the new vger hostiles the chests say fatu-krey. Hmmmmmmmm

[fickle geyser]

Copy paste hostiles. You're surprised?

[zenith canyon]

and scopley you better not destroy pokemon the same way this game is going..

[fickle geyser]

Its using the same space next to fed space lol

[graceful sage]

wow, 500 officer depot tokens for 15k V'Gers Amity. @terse jackal can you make this event store a little better?

[grim merlin]

Jeszz look at that scoring point for spend event 😂😂

[zenith canyon]

can we get a poll running on this page.. 🙂

[fickle geyser]

Like this comment if this event is terrible

Thats the poll 🥳

[hearty mauve]

so.... i think someone forgot something...

[graceful sage]

even terrible events i do when the event store is good, but the event store also is terrible

like really bad

[tepid lotus]

Mine didn't say Fatu Krey in the chest.

[hidden locust]

another try to push g6 into g7 🤪. only hazard zones for up to mid g6 without speaking off the worse sarris 2.0 grind and points

[tepid lotus]

But makes me wonder if Annorax boosts the loot on these.

1.25B is a bit of a trudge.

[rare garden]

Really need to pull the option of copy/paste to your coders, This has gotten to be normal practice to not check after they copy event/hostiles/etc.

[slow isle]

check aggregation space

[fickle geyser]

Hopefully its only because theyre trying to fix the bigger issues whilst adding events from events team

[whole robin]

hmm the heroic SMS lasts 6 days but the SLB only lasts 3- second SLB after I guess? 🤔

[hidden locust]

low g6 to mid is punished hence the comment

[fickle geyser]

Whole of vger is punishing for 67-71

[gentle sable]

So this is a gambling game now? I did not sign up for this BS

[hidden locust]

yep and now low to mid g6 aswell 😝

[whole robin]

annorax does not I tested

[fickle geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gambling-gambler-gif-572068894331490223

[whole robin]

also these have a massive amount of apex shred so appex officer ability doesn't work well

[civic geyser]

Yep I’m only ops64 but even I know that lvl67 up is the pinch point

[tepid lotus]

🙁 tx for checking.

[fickle geyser]

Im ops 68 and the jump is insane. I'd say I was struggling but only because its cutting into my gameplay

[fathom river]

<@&509690795536941056> Chances of getting Annorax updated to work vs the Vger 8675309s?

[hidden locust]

bet early ops 66 you be strugling soon too

[spice belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> is it intended that the outpost events have no events? besides the one battlepass event?

[gentle sable]

yep, at level 70, and tried a level 70 species hostile, did not even come close to beating one, scopely, you can go (&^(&%^(* yourself

[fickle geyser]

There's an event its just not in there

https://tenor.com/view/angry-mob-gif-14429440838821613662

[hidden locust]

its intended. the full event with slbs etc dropped 2 days later last time

[tiny ivy]

strong 60s could farm 66s, i assume mid size 64 can do 66 no problem (talking "old" vger here, no idea about 8472)

[hidden locust]

orions ?

[fickle geyser]

Orions can be done with a cheese it crew up to 70

[hidden locust]

doubt my relativity can punch up that much or need a maxed g6 uc 😂

[tiny ivy]

those too, yeah

[split storm]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA they missed the rename the FOOLS!

[little violet]

That will be corrected next year sometime

[split storm]

About the same time we get g5 scrapping

[fickle geyser]

Has anyone tried nesmith ship on them if the chests are faulty?

[tiny ivy]

why tho? snw james does the same with better synergy

[fickle geyser]

Nsea I meant

[kind nexus]

Whose Idea was it to put an outpost event on when they're not working? 😂

[tiny ivy]

nsea didn't work vs fatu either

[kind nexus]

Love doing 6 hostiles then stopping

[tepid lotus]

They are supposed to have fixed them in the maintenance. At least the part where they're missing waves. I didn't have any problems with my outpost today.

[broken vine]

Once upon a time I had a fever dream in which some twit said we are going to do better by our player community make the game less grindy , make better more interesting content. I stayed, I stopped spending because I heard this song before. Today we get a series of events, not new or shiny but renamed hostiles from a discontinued event (we all rejoiced when that event went away), the new event appearing all shiny and bright is a load of 💩 all smelly and dank, the rewards are atrocious 15m for 1 chest 102m for 2 yay, im 4 hulls in killing 60 to 62 and haven't completed the first sms, I figure this will take 14 hulls to do both for what fabulous reward 15k syndicate woohoo. Maybe someday that fever dream will come true 🤣🤣🤣

[terse meadow]

Sooo... Faatu Kreys are back🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🙈

[atomic crest]

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the overlords actually tested things before releasing it to torture the general population. At this point, you have to wonder if this is intentional.

[terse meadow]

And will be abandoned in a year or two...
💩 Will ever be 💩

[little violet]

Those look cold 😛

[timber valve]

People were already frustrated with the Orion VGER hostiles, and they decided to double down on this garbage

[whole robin]

https://tenor.com/bjGEN.gif

Devs apparently^

[glacial raft]

Buy more packs!!!!

[atomic crest]

This keeps up we can rename the game to "Compensation chest fleet command"

[timber valve]

I'd have to raid my 401k to get to where Scopley wants me to be

[silk cove]

We love to kill 135 hostiles for a single event, at the cost of 6 hulls, to get .5% of an artifact!

[little violet]

@heady moon Why are the chest pay out for this invasion hostiles so bad.,.....Why everything got to be a massive and I mean massive grind....

[normal elm]

will the lag be addressed before the incursion or are we in for a very intermittent raiding experience?

[whole robin]

again got disconnected and then this stuff <@&509690795536941056>

second time today this has happened

[tidal girder]

The fart2krey live again

[whole robin]

getting a response code 200 at the end of that error message

[uneven sand]

are you not happy with your MOAR GRIND? lol

[whole robin]

I wouldn't mind the grind if the loot was actually good but most of it is 🗑️

[little violet]

Nah this is the living galaxy they described from flashpoints.

[whole robin]

the new artifact and the open armada directives are abou the only good things

well aphelion blueprints but those are a 5% chance

like WOK was grindy but the events actually gave cool things like NEW REFITS

still say WOK is the best arc we have had in the past year

[twilit lintel]

it was cuz traffic was lame again people camt drive

[whole robin]

CMs just ignoring us today I guess Simpauly left hammy I don't think has said anything? @heady moon

[twilit lintel]

and i'll never reheat Popeyes in the radio active machine

[graceful sage]

the CT/FT and ship parts bundles don't even feel worthwhile to pull.

[little violet]

Syndicate are only things... But 1.2b and they give crap rewards in hostile chest...

[lapis wyvern]

the fun is to not doing the event

[civic geyser]

Think hammy on the cruise

[timber valve]

And even that one got a C in my book. Low bar.

[little violet]

Maybe they will up the rewards then... Cause this current scheme is garbage

[uneven sand]

https://klipy.com/gifs/war-games-joshua

[weary tapir]

I am so done with this event, it's way too Grindy, go shove it where no sun shines

[timber valve]

Echoes of trash

[fading belfry]

man the event store for the sarris/vger invasion is really bad. I can see not much time being spent with this

[lapis wyvern]

not play and not pay 🙂

[muted cape]

PRetty sure thats how sarries died out 😄 once players got NSEA they ignored the event

[normal elm]

some ignored it even before getting the ship xD

[hasty hemlock]

its all about the artifact (tho outpost directives also help - my sisko acquisition has stalled out)

[civic geyser]

Yep it was too grindy

[main marten]

after doing the first pull and getting a token (less than my daily pull) of syndicate xp - this feels like another one to ignore

[sterile parcel]

Here we go again. How difficult is it to read the room guys ? 200 hostile grinds 🤦

[muted cape]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message with these odds not really

[calm cypress]

they clearly don't care, based on how they have reacted to yet another terrible event

[little violet]

54 chest... I need 1.4b for a double pull... Means garbage

[muted cape]

314 hostiles later 😭

[calm cypress]

Good news, we can do the event 1 71 per hull at a time

Fantastic

[twilit lintel]

that moment you get a second set after that one ends lol

[sterile parcel]

This is an absolute joke. Just shows how much they “care” about our opinion

[twilit lintel]

let me guess you mad about the enw hostile

ur mad cuz of new hostile?

[sterile parcel]

It’s not a new hostile it’s a beefed up Fatu Krey. They didn’t even manage the copy replace right 🤦

[little violet]

Can do more than that. Use Jane, seska, edata . Below deck: w. joachim, pic hugh, kim, torres, w. carol. Neelix if you are tier 13 plus or... Enaran post for burning.. Or the other ct you have for subbing kim or torres

[twilit lintel]

if ur mad about this just wait till they add em to the daily week chain

[twilit lintel]

the devs are lazy

[sterile parcel]

I think I’m done now. Can’t take any more of the disappointment. Most of our alliance just chat on discord now anyways.

[whole robin]

doing 100 per hull on 71 with tier 4 veng 🤷‍♂️

[twilit lintel]

what they shopuld do is get rid of that worm system and add something new

[lavish thistle]

Chatgpt can only do so much when they can't prompt or copy right 🤣

[whole robin]

https://tenor.com/qFn5qmquYw5.gif

[safe igloo]

we will remove the Sarris Event 2 month Later we Copy it give it a new Name that will be Great

[twilit lintel]

yeah i hear tons of people are leaving the game cuz of the devs not doing what they promised or the lack of feedback not really being looked into

[minor furnace]

Meh. I don't mind these new hostiles. Bash my unpopular opinion.

[fading belfry]

yeah, when they want to tell me with a straight face that a chance at 100 temporal directives is a good reward for dealing with this, they done lost me on day 1 🤣

[muted cape]

Looking in store only thing of value is the new artifact once players get that 100% they will ignore event

[whole robin]

for g7 we get a chance at open armada directives

[twilit lintel]

cuz its easy for you?

[minor furnace]

Doable, but not easy.

But that is what she said..

Carrying on.

[willow parcel]

either way, unimaginative and dull

[muted cape]

you no there not G7 directives there G6

[fading belfry]

now you may have to hold me back with all that syndicate xp... 🤔 🤨

[little violet]

You are supposed to be mindlessly grinding and not notice

[twilit lintel]

isnt that what theybdo when they buy packs

[little violet]

71 you are screwed if you have no vengeance for the amount you have to grind

You notice the CM's went offline when I tag them 🤣

[twilit lintel]

LMAO

[muted cape]

3 Hours of grind for this .....

[little violet]

cause they knew 2m chips from a 70 is bs... Lets see what the 71's give

[twilit lintel]

they are gone lol

scopley give us new hostiles the cms leave cuz they know we gonna complain lol

[atomic crest]

perfect, the game goes to 💩 and we get radio silence...that'll teach us to complain

[little violet]

for a 71....

Need 1.4b for a double...

that is almost 400 hostiles for one double pull...

These odds kill an event

[twilit lintel]

just like the odds when you try to get those 1200 12k and 24k token pulls that one time we are kept getting the 1200

[cyan nimbus]

What's the cool down on these chests?

[whole robin]

22HRS

in other words don't try for the 2 pull unless you got a max dauntless or something 🤷‍♂️

[formal dragon]

Well that’s an hour I’m not spending doing this 💩 again. 71 without vengeance. Had to use Titan and Cerritos twice just to do it. What a load of rubbish. Turn it off please. Come up with something more entertaining.

[little violet]

🤣 event outside the sms's are garbage 🤣

All that work for 30k syndicate.. I get more than that free from the DTI store.. what makes this event worth the sky high milestones... And terrible hostile chests rewards

That is what you need to think about when you design 💩 scopely...

[tepid lotus]

The only thing of interest to me in all those options is the aphelion shards, and the ultra small chance just encourages me not to bother grinding more on it.

[twilit lintel]

you know scopley cant design new things lol

[fading belfry]

I don't think they learned anything at all from the sarris invasion event/reward structure

[little violet]

Would love to see someone post they got the bps

[tepid lotus]

Same, ship parts. Which is why I'm not bothering grinding the 1.25B I need for a max pull.

[dusky cove]

<@&509690795536941056> So when were we getting more player friendly event design and implementation of player feedback promised in the last Conor video again?

[atomic crest]

The continued silence tells you everything you need to know about how the overlords feel about us and the state of the game.

[little violet]

Connor, Lied....

[still harbor]

I really want to meet the mind behind this event

[little violet]

THis is the same style design behind sarris we had to have outrage before they made the event semi decent in rewards...

[still harbor]

Rewards and effort

[woeful compass]

<@&509690795536941056> putting hostiles in hazard systems for G5 peeps with no hazard research makes no sense

Sarris rebranded....original one was much better

[gleaming viper]

a lot of grinding for a chance, no thanks

[opal roost]

Anyone else still having issues with outpost? Pretty sure it just skipped a number of hostiles again

[copper void]

War room chest takes more than a minute to open...

[tepid lotus]

The funny thing is that the fatu krey and their copy/pasted version both have endless spawns compared to V'ger space.

[muted cape]

😱 did not even no it was on

[copper void]

Tbey fixed that today🤣

[urban cosmos]

If only there was a ship that has built in resistance to magnetic minefields like maybe the NSEA-Protector.....................👀

[tepid lotus]

Imagine how much of a pain it would be if these spawned as slow as v'ger hostiles.

[twilit lintel]

@little violet wanna see something funny i cant post in this server?

Opened the armada chest no directives just 50k syndicate xp which at syndicate 58 doesn't do much

You would think that they would at least have the decency to acknowledge that there's a problem

[fallow sorrel]

ngl, flashpoint was way better store wise.

[dusky cove]

If this is the design trend for 2026 I'm better off finally uninstalling this game, this is a farce

[twilit lintel]

now they gonna make a vger species ims3 event watch lol

yes the flashpoint store was good

[little violet]

No one will do it that is why the server can't see the progression bar

which is why the killed the first invasion

[winter fern]

They forgot the chest name when doing the Find &replace

[hushed kite]

oh, sweet summer child

[silver parcel]

at 3m a hostile, good luck

[tepid lotus]

I was getting 4.4M per lvl 72 I killed.

[civic geyser]

This arc

[tepid lotus]

Still not doing 1.25B's worth of that.

[slow isle]

https://tenor.com/view/redlettermedia-gif-9694459

what were they thinking with this one

[silver parcel]

got half that, and i don't even want to do the pull

[fickle sonnet]

Flashpoint 2.0 this is...... one would think they are able to learn from mistakes.... apparently not thoigh

[hushed kite]

I'm a relatively weak 71, can only grind 70's, small cargo hold so only 2 mil per kill, don't even think about doing double pulls

[tepid lotus]

Like fatu krey, you're getting it from the chests vs the kills.

[whole robin]

the G7 version gives open armada directives

[tepid lotus]

So you ignore your ship cargo and just kill as many as you can to get the chests.

[normal elm]

i could have sworn they were talking about not wanting people to spend long time grinding at some point last year

[fickle sonnet]

I regret pressing the g7 ascension button this morning after finding the g7 unlock in gifts section🤣

[tepid lotus]

open armadas are dead content to me, so really doesn't matter.

[silver parcel]

with next to zero odds

probably

not that they're worth doing anyway

[whole robin]

being g7 sucks the SLBs give 💩 loot for anyone other than top3, our heroic SMS at 71 requires more than triple the mat spend of a lv70

[hushed kite]

no, it's like flashpoint, fatu krey gave you more loot than you ever needed, these are much more stingy

[tepid lotus]

I got more Fatu Krey loot because Annorax works on them. He doesn't work on these.

I still wasn't doing 1.25B worth of fatu krey either.

[fickle sonnet]

Its 30% chance to get any of the directives. So slim chance to hit anything usefull. Maybe if you got all of them guaranteed it d be worth grinding 600 hostiles a day as fresh 71...

[hushed kite]

I would if I could, they were easy so you could punch up, these are not

it's flashpoint, but with worse rewards

i.e. back to "quality over quantity" 😄

[whole robin]

<@&509690795536941056> new hostiles appear broken, no FC officer FT CT changes or anything and I'm now taking double the damage per hostile as I was

[modest flower]

No way Scopley did away with an event just to reskin and rebrand it 😂

[calm cypress]

You say that, and yet...

[modest flower]

I think they thought we wouldn’t notice lol

[hushed kite]

I mean, it even looks tempting... until you check the fine print

[red stag]

@hushed kite when we have a percentage chance we all know how that alleged random thing works out 🤔🤔🤔

[whole robin]

yeah something is broken with these new hostiles, same exact crew FT FC CT etc, over 64 kills per hull (my battle log hit limit, it was closer to 100), 28 kills per hull, 40 kills per hull

something is causing a massive RNG with these hostiles

[twilit lintel]

i sense all day grinding

for double pulls that only give u 84k syn xp

[muted cape]

you got 84K! i got 30K 😐

[sage latch]

'Warning commanders, Q is up to his old tricks. The new species 8472 hostiles have been spotted in his trials. . The proper authorities have been contacted in order to chase them off. (the issue has been raised)' Really?

[red stag]

Took me 30 mins to complete both sms I just had to drop a lvl to 70s

[twilit lintel]

not me bulk lol

[whole robin]

and none of my battles are lasting 10 rounds for the alleged deathray just something is broken with these hostiles

[modest flower]

When is something not broken lol

[whole robin]

it's not one battle doing massive damage it's every single battle doing twice the hull dmg with absoloutely NOTHING changed

[main dove]

I keep getting zero shots from the 8472 hostiles go-home cannon, but an alliance mate is getting destroyed by it every time. Is there something in the game, a research or an artifact that negates this?

[dull mason]

Brilliant

LAG

[hushed kite]

mostly star path research with hull breach

[silver parcel]

All the research/buildings that reduced crit damage is what's zeroing it out

is your alliance member low on the q building?

[whole robin]

yeah something is broken with these new hostiles though AT

[tepid lotus]

Probably your crit reducton doing it.

[twilit lintel]

its ok nothing really good right now anyway

[whole robin]

same exact crew same exact ship same exact EVERYTHING and I'm getting MASSIVELY random numbers of kills per hull, ~100ish twice, then 28, then 40

[tepid lotus]

What level hostiles?

[whole robin]

71

[tepid lotus]

They're all the same power (not varying amounts)?

[twilit lintel]

you know

[whole robin]

yes all exact same power

[twilit lintel]

what woukd be awesome

if yall recorded a video

[dull mason]

I'm currently trying to rescue node's

[tepid lotus]

I didn't have any problems with the 72's, so I wonder if there's something funky at certain levels.

[whole robin]

and it's not like one fight is suddenly doing a damage spike it's like after a repair every single fight is suddenly doing twice the dmg per round like some of my bonuses are no longer applying or something

[twilit lintel]

someone tryin to take ur nodes eh

[dull mason]

Well my freesha was killed on a 5* crystal

[viral yacht]

All it does is say "Adjusting" endlessly.

[twilit lintel]

oh on y server that would be a kill

any lat/clat miner on a resource node not lat or clat will get hit

[tepid lotus]

Why would you have a feesha on a crystal node anyway?

[charred island]

what is the purpose of making the enemies impossible to kill on my ops lvl with a maxed out borgcube for ops 67 and the right crew

[civic geyser]

Wait till you get to G6 nodes if a G5 miner there it’s not there long

[dull mason]

I only last week built my last of the 3 romulan 4* miner

[twilit lintel]

keep forgetting scopley wouldnt let u in teh game for awhile

[thin forge]

Where do we find the latest bugs release notes from today’s maintenance?

[twilit lintel]

get those faction mineers tho a freesha on a crysla node or any node like that is a instant kill im sure thats for ur server also

[tepid lotus]

#⭐-official-announcements message

[whole robin]

ok after further examination the bug has something to do with the fights randomly lasting 6 rounds instead of 4 rounds, even though every single shot is critting, and there's no variable factors on my end whatsoever aside from the tiny variation in weapon damage, but that doesn't explain a 2 round combat difference, NO fights last 5 rounds

every fight is either 4 rounds or 6 rounds

[jade narwhal]

I got a guy who is mining transogen with six amalgams lol. He cried saying that amalgams were surveys and they were protected and I'm like no in my servers roe amalgams are considered warships regardless of what they're doing whether it's mining or just sitting in space LOL

[whole robin]

so these vgers have some kind of RNG defensive ability apparently

[normal elm]

in the systems marked with the blue banner 🤭

[calm cypress]

I've noticed the same, it's completely inconsistent regardless of crew used.

[main dove]

Aha he wasn't running Torres so star path crit reduction wasn't activated

[dull mason]

It has the whip and the 3 ferengi miner's

[twilit lintel]

have yall tried using this ship buff to kill the new vger hostiles those who have the ship i mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKvv58aI3wQ

[silver parcel]

the ship is useless against regular v'ger

it's boosted towards the fighters only

[twilit lintel]

tghat sucks

[silver parcel]

just like with the nx-01 and xindi.

[twilit lintel]

when will they make a ship that buffs all ships

[dull mason]

Aka USS useless

[thin forge]

Why are you all implying that STFC is just making up battlelogs and battle outcomes?

[urban cosmos]

Or the Voyager and the OG Species 8472

[twilit lintel]

buffs ships with isodamage

[dull mason]

They are FAKE Federation Ship's

[twilit lintel]

and apex berrier

barrier

[civic geyser]

Think he’s referring to this but only lasts like 6mins

[twilit lintel]

is anything in stc canon lol

[timid arrow]

@silver parcel can we get it added to Known Issues that Outpost Waves are still being skipped and is not fixed as per the Patch notes

[leaden meadow]

How is this still not fixed? Bug has been around for too long, wasting everyone's time
Fix war room claim

[whole robin]

starting in round 4 they are mitigating a bunch more dmg all of a sudden

[urban cosmos]

The bugs?

[whole robin]

round3 -> round4

[normal elm]

this is not Starship Troopers

[twilit lintel]

[weak bobcat]

So... They keep breaking outposts?

[whole robin]

they have a huge apex buff kicking in around round4

[vestal lava]

where do we trade in the loot from the hostiles or thier chests?

[twilit lintel]

if it was we woukld be serious outgunned

[timid arrow]

Thanks @silver parcel

[sterile parcel]

Another bad, poorly thought out game mechanic no one will bother with because it’s too much of a grind

[vagrant vapor]

but... but... weren't outposts fixed during todays maintenance? patch notes says so 😂

[whole robin]

ok they appear to have some kind of RNG Apex barrier ability

[dull mason]

They will one day release
The sister Ship to the excelsior
The enterprise -B
The Titan - A
= renamed Enterprise

[whole robin]

it's not applying the same apex every fight

some fights they have massively higher amount of apex barrier (or my apex shred is somehow breaking)

[twilit lintel]

wait till they make a vger hostile that cloaks itself LOL

[vestal lava]

where do you trade in the loot that the hostiles drop?

[silver parcel]

echoes exchange

[tepid lotus]

Event store

[vestal lava]

nope, that's only for the loot from milestone completion

[silver parcel]

it's both

milestone loot

[vestal lava]

ah, I see now

[silver parcel]

hostile loot

[dusky cove]

Can't say I'm surprised CM are MIA with the quality of the between arc events, event store and event design

[echo schooner]

Oh good another grind with a poorly thought out mechanic, nothing says scopley like rebranding broken retired loops and trying to sell it back to us as exciting new content 😡

[civic geyser]

Technically they have you have to summon it

[twilit lintel]

so why didnt scopley make a video about teh new hostiles?

[whole robin]

well since the issue is something with their apex barrier trying more apex shred to see if it helps

[twilit lintel]

like voy

[whole robin]

their apex barrier is not applying the same amount consistently

[twilit lintel]

do that new ship also have a unit that reduces the amount spent to summon them?

[whole robin]

ok the apex barrier RNG issue is still happening but with godsend I kill the increased apex amounts in 5 rounds instead of 6 🤷‍♂️

[sterile parcel]

Have they messed with them as all of a sudden they are killing me and I was killing a fair few before

[twilit lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXqfi6csKMQ

that was cancelled

[echo schooner]

The heroic event target is crazy

[twilit lintel]

but but its live LOL

[normal elm]

they cancelled the Moon??

[vestal lava]

started streaming 14 Jan

[twilit lintel]

ngl aggie i believe nobnody ever went to the moon its all a.i and green screen LMAO

ughhh

i really should look at the dates lol

[whole robin]

they had some kind of fueling issue with the rocket

they were supposed to test the fueling again this month

not sure how that went

was leaking fuel or something would be my guess

[normal elm]

it's ok to be single

[whole robin]

it's a common issue because the fuel they use is like superchilled

[twilit lintel]

who single lol

[civic geyser]

Hehe warroom open means lots of unhappy people with their bases smashed

[whole robin]

when the connectors or whatever get cold it causes the gaps to expand letting fuel leak

[twilit lintel]

talkin about the youtube date .LOL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n6EWsVGroU

[whole robin]

the blackbird sr71 or whatever it was leaked fuel by design while on the ground it would expand from heat while in flight and stop leaking

[slow isle]

so many abanonded bases to choose from over here, too easy 😬

[rain night]

I saw this, such a shame, really good content and was actually better IMO than what Paramount has put out.

[whole robin]

The SR-71 Blackbird intentionally leaked JP-7 fuel on the ground because its titanium skin panels were designed to fit loosely at ambient temperatures, expanding to seal tight only under the extreme (600F+)
heat of Mach 3+ flight. This "designed to leak" approach was necessary because no sealant could withstand the extreme thermal expansion/contraction cycles.

[normal elm]

you were looking at dates 😄

[whole robin]

they usually had to refuel while in the air

[vestal lava]

SR-71 always had to refuel after takeoff

[twilit lintel]

if i was looking for dates you will be the first one to ask WINKS

[vestal lava]

and JP-7 smells way different than normal jet fuel

[whole robin]

ya I don't think they filled the tanks before takeoff to reduce the leakage

[woeful compass]

weren't outposts supposed to be fixed with this update?

[leaden meadow]

Was this tested? One of the core features of your hostile doesn't work

[whole robin]

but rockets have similar issues with fuel leakage, their fuel is superchilled either to make it denser or more stable or something, but the cold also causes the metal it touches to contract

I just looked, it's to make the fuel denser, they get it super cold

[twilit lintel]

jet fuel can't melt steel beams right?

[whole robin]

no but rocket fuel probably can

[terse meadow]

Any peace shield considering the impossibility to launch game?

[vestal lava]

Remember the SR-71 was designed with sliderules, with materials available in 1958

[twilit lintel]

you njust proved my theory

[whole robin]

lol the jet fuel can't melt steel beams but it can weaken them to the point where they fail to hold their load and break

hot metal gets softer

[fickle sonnet]

Dont make em add it now lol 🤣

[hidden locust]

just wondering. so if im correct (assuming last time outpost event showed up)

we will have
1- outpost event show up 2 days after pass launched

2- fkr event shows up every incursion.

3- we get this vger (call it sarris 2.0) stupid stuff ? anything i missed ?

[whole robin]

that's like the entire principal behind blacksmithing, hot metal = much easier to shape, much weaker

[twilit lintel]

yeah but over time yes?

[whole robin]

if a steel beam in a skyscraper has thousands of tons of force on it and it gets very hot it's going to bend/break very quickly

[leaden meadow]

ahh i see

[late pawn]

@heady moon Why does it call it "new art for the Invading systems" .. when the Hostiles are not considered "Invading Entities" ?

[whole robin]

I think the ability with the new vger hostile is their buff is double-applying some fights

[hybrid vector]

I have won after 11 rounds and lost after 19.

[silver parcel]

two chest pull x.x

[snow drift]

Why do they copy and past so many of the same hostels, and set such high expectations. Could this be why so many players have left the game or quit spending so such money?

[fickle sonnet]

Scopely really knows how to reward maximum effort and spending eternity grinding🤣

[silver parcel]

that was like 3 hours

killing 71s

[slow isle]

fair trade, hmm 😬

[worldly phoenix]

Did anyone notice that it’s Trashpoint and invading entities repackaged. Even down to the awful event store!

[minor aspen]

I hope your boss pays you more for 3 hours of intensive work...

[fickle sonnet]

Are scopely tester playing with maxxed out lv 80 accounts using bots or what? 3 hours is insane for ONE (?) Double chest out of 3?

[main marten]

everyone did, even Scopely who thought they would sneak it past us

[fast wigeon]

You are wrong, this event store is worse. 🤣

[tepid lotus]

It's not flashpoint in that they don't have the tiered events where you have to complete one to start the next one.

[late pawn]

Except no bonuses for using Invading Entities Officers. So, even better!

[fickle sonnet]

"We know we missed the mark with flashpoint and will work to creare more engaging events in the future"

[main marten]

Well, now we know. It wasn't that it was "bad". It was too good for us peons in their eyes

[worldly phoenix]

Scopely interprets that to be, more grinding means player enjoy it more.

[magic glen]

yeah but it seems the package had a hole in the bottom so a lot of stuff dumped out in transport.

[fickle sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/kjswiffer-taylor-swift-gif-13562549009754134676

[minor aspen]

Anyway, their creativity is hostile; they'll kill you at roulette or waste your resources...

[worldly phoenix]

Did they use the 💩 that fell out or the dross that remained?

[fickle sonnet]

Guess it didnt get "shipped"... like all the scopely employees atm?👀

[timber sail]

Are the interns back in charge?

[terse meadow]

Between this new load of BS in-game old stuff recycling and the upcoming modifications to Discord...I predict massive quitting!

[worldly phoenix]

“But we’ve also added an artifact to increase payout for another badly designed loop”

[minor aspen]

By the way, there's another "give away your G3+ resources" event...

[magic glen]

Everything that fell out shattered into pieces, tried to salvage the good stuff. Unfortunately whomever picked up the good pieces threw the box of good pieces away and saved the box of small pieces that remained.

They are not even able to make things work properly... incompetent

[fickle sonnet]

Outpost pass sux anyway.

[worldly phoenix]

Yep same I’m stopping all spending. I’ve complained on here before, as if expecting it to change….

[worldly phoenix]

Outposts suk. Can’t expect the battlepass to be any better

[fickle sonnet]

The concept is ... welll . Flawed. But i like the refinery. IF ONLY I HAD MORE LOOT

[dusky cove]

Conclusion of this inter arc loop for me is "if this is the norm for 2026 I should finally uninstall the game"

[worldly phoenix]

They must have filtered the small identifiable pieces and disposed of them. Then they took that kernel of an idea for content that was left, blended it, burnt it, inhaled the fumes and said I know. Bio-ships, but in a format we’ve never done before.

Too much?

[twilit lintel]

I was actually able to finish the sms in under 2 hours of grinding. yay

[burnt briar]

@heady moon just the guy i wanted to talk tooo.... can u check ur dm blood.... thanks bruh

[minor aspen]

They wanted to offer a bonus for the loot, but with such a terrible event and ridiculously small prizes, getting the artifact is going to take months... and I'm giving up now...

[fickle sonnet]

They nerfed the base loot wheb they introduced elites.... if they would have kept old loot everyone would stop complaining about loot. 100% more loot bonus is meh if they cut the base by 50%...

[late pawn]

I pulled the Artifact box, got 1500 officer depot tokens... lol

[minor aspen]

In 3.5 hours I've earned 912 million points out of 1.2 billion... I'll finish tomorrow, but I'm not going to spend my whole week grinding 4 hours a day

[vestal lava]

you know what would be really great? an expected timeline to achieve the goal of getting the artifact! when people think the event might be something they can finish in one interim period, then figure out it's a six month minimum grind, they might not stress about it so much

[harsh atlas]

It's a HORRIBLE event

[late pawn]

only going to take me 30 minutes or so to complete it, but it's still not worth it.

[vestal lava]

well, it is another in a line of punishing people who push ops, I'm OP71 with a 38billion power ship, so I have to punch down

you have to play the loop game - focus all challenge points on excelsior so you can get challenge points faster, THEN you can do the building, THEN you can do the artifacts

[late pawn]

Was killing 16-17 consistently ... and then randomly died on the 6th that time. Weird

[vestal lava]

if you let them live 10 rounds they get a big gun

[minor furnace]

Round 10 yeet cannon

[late pawn]

ah. Lived to 16 though.. So that's weird

[vestal lava]

it actually makes a "YEET" sounds as it punches a hole in your hull

[minor furnace]

Double check your kill logs. You might be skirting it close

[vestal lava]

it's not assured death just big dam,age

[minor furnace]

Hm. Interesting

[normal elm]

haXor

[minor furnace]

But gonna drive home for now

[vestal lava]

yeah yo ureally want to keep the fights under 10 roundsa

This even is too hard for limited rewards

[late pawn]

Apparently I've been winning all of them in 15+ rounds lol

[minor aspen]

I've been playing for 3 years and I'm level 70, but since January every event has become a disaster... It seems to be calibrated for Tier 8 ships minimum... regardless of your level

The new VGER hostiles are a reskin of the sarris invasion and junk I will never do the event

[vestal lava]

they did actually change some of the characteristics

it looks like sarris, without the armadas

[proud blaze]

Yes

[muted cape]

dont jynx it

[late pawn]

changed a few things and got it down to 5 rounds, going to try 67 now

[late pawn]

Armadas are coming after the new 99.99 ship that's specifically for v'ger armadas comes out.

[vestal lava]

they scale up pretty fast

[tepid lotus]

V'germadas with their own special speedups.

[minor aspen]

Wait until next month, they'll probably have a huge surprise that will please everyone...

[tawdry oriole]

Day 4. My missing continium refinery & loot boxes containing revenent parts are still missing ENTIRELY.

[vestal lava]

I personally guarantee that they will not please everyone next month, or any month

[vagrant vapor]

Pleasing everyone has been a key trait last year and a half

[tawdry oriole]

I was hoping maintenance would have fixed my game

Nope

[mild ravine]

I get 2 round kills with this crew...seems like a cakewalk but move 1 level up and I'm killed in about 5 rounds...

[sly finch]

ARC to trigger a mass quit ?

[tawdry oriole]

I'll see you all tomorrow. Same time same bat channel. Same problem. Only it will be day 5 🖖

[vestal lava]

these are more randome than normal hostiles i think

This is exactly the problem that Scopely hasn’t figured out yet… after a few years maybe they will…

but even the syndicate chest is on the low end

[twilit lintel]

[eternal elm]

do u use anything specific to kill these hostiles? they seem a bit too strong the ones at my lvl to finish the sms..

[desert field]

Do these 8472 hostiles go straight from 63 to 71? Or is my game broken?

[late pawn]

crew and ft etc matter. But they're not overly difficult

[late pawn]

You have to find them, they are also in the Aggregation area

[eternal elm]

i never had any issues killing anything so far in the game all these years. these ones today feel extreme

[desert field]

Nice. Found them

[latent pollen]

How did you go with 67?

[late pawn]

Once I crewed .. went fine. Finished sms.

Don't say that 3 time's 😲

[placid zinc]

at least it's not ops locked like orion's

[late pawn]

Changed out the C-12 for the Godsend, since wasn't in hazard anymore. And made some adjustments below decks.

How do you increase your q trial assessment rank, when you have completed them all?? I can’t even try to tier to 12 on a few FT??

[late pawn]

Q trials, yes. Completing them.

[eternal elm]

this crew didnt go far in the 71s sadly 😅

[thorn fjord]

You can’t.

[late pawn]

need enough power to kill them before round 10 or so

[gaunt terrace]

I’ve been done with them for a while, but the are stuck on level 55/60 with only 2% chance

[thorn fjord]

Or luck!

[late pawn]

2% chance, or stuck?

[gaunt terrace]

Are you kidding??

Can’t try unless it’s 10%.. mine are at like 2

[wheat steppe]

What a kak event

[late pawn]

I don't think any of mine are stuck. Also done with Q Trials. A lot of basically instant fail on Tier up.. but they're still able to

[wheat steppe]

Have to kill a crazy amount to hit the milestones

[thorn fjord]

Until the next level of trials arrive one day

[pale echo]

milestones too high, skipping this run completely, thanks

[late pawn]

Like this, ridiculous cost for a 20% chance.

[eternal elm]

u fail a few times and it goes up eventually its not that extreme

yeah, but you fail with Tier up currency, which takes a while to accumulate.
