by the way g3 mats have been missing from my refinery for weeks if not months lol let me see if they are actually back π€£
gasp they are! how useless! π
I get more g3 mats than I could ever use from events lol I only use g4+ for mat spend
but I will refine them none the less because I like pressing buttons
... as long as it's part of bulk refine
wanna annoy someone with ocd? take a weak survey and mine a bunch of g2 mats, as much as you can stand, then smash that survey into there ship
@everyone Hey Team!
Right boy do we have a lot to talk about and lets do it now!!*
Going LIVE NOW right now to discuss all the things going on! I have a lot of details as well!
Agenda:
- Buff Update
- Hotfixes
- The Game
- Marbles
- Cherry Tree event starts!
- and much much more!
LETS GO!!!
https://www.twitch.tv/nigelrovers
Send the numbers to twitch!!!
The scoring off this aggregation heroic is insane. At least it is for ops70s
Don't forget the most important update: #π-galaxy-chat message
I did the aggregation task earlier this week... you talking about that?
I passed this on to the team/.
cough gs31 beam
it's based on ops level rather than recon locus level so if your recon locus isn't lv70 it will take hundreds and hundreds of kills
doesn't work on aggregation for starters
No the heroic one just launches. I need to get 72k points and I am on 66s. Been going for 32 minutes and on 12k points
wow I already did that grind once this week for the task... or was that last week?
let me check my tasks
no wait that was last week for a maverick task I had to do the same grind, 500+ lv66 aggregation
Thank you - Some people that can only do 59s have given up as it would take about 7 hours of grinding. I worked out I might get it done before Arsenal match is done, which will be nearly 2 hours
hey did something change with vger orion hostiles? I cant kill one anymore even with cerrito buffs
I do 61 with dauntless and 66 with veng lol
I am all for heroic but... this is beyond heroic π
stupid % hull burn π
new hostiles will be immune to both beams and insta kill dauntless because why would anything you already have get to be useful?
hard gated by the recon locus level
The AST probably
no but something changed read broke with buffs
it was for maverick task last week I Remember now
I remember doing this at ops69 and sure it was not this hard. So I think its an ops70 balance thing (maybe)
was getting like 12 pts per kill for like over 60k points required
no wait 6k points
not 60k
either way it was over 500 kills
On 59s this is 3,761 hostiles
On 66s this is 548 hostiles
This is beyond heroic I reckon for OPs70s
are vger hostiles suddenly harder?
no but officer abilities have been buggy since the update
i use same crew and everything but now suddenly cant kill these orion hostiles
time to skip vger today lol
I was killing them with Janeway and it wasn't triggering the anti-janeway protocols from what I saw... or my veng was just shredding their apex π€·ββοΈ
yeah it is a grindy one.
6 runs of Dauntless seek & destroy in 61 system and 2 ships parallel grinding 65 & 66 system with kirshara
can't use Jane or suder. I take all my FC off and stingmy ship and they do little to no damage this way
Doesn't matter the ops. Their abilities trigger when you crit them
I put my dauntless in the 59 and it died after about 5 minutes. The next option is multi grinding but... everyone is doing same right now as we are all slammed into the same zones. Normally thats ok if people are in and out but people will be here hours so the zone is just getting busier and busier
@heady moon run a SLB for waves/solo waves plz I have 46 solo waves I need to run π€£
no. fix waves first.
nooo.
what's wrong with them? π€
rubberbanding ships still, rewards screen bug, lag, and hostiles still heading to the core despite them being destroyed.
In the end arenβt we all trying to get to the core
Anyone know what we do with these?!
Donβt talking about Ian Malcolm like that
Aw jeez.
?
I just got enough BPs to build Cerritos. Is there any reason to NOT build it? I'm at OPs 36
no reason not to build cerritos, I still use mine at ops 71 sometimes when killing reds
There's a weekly Ceritios event
Get it just for that, if nothing else
i wish there was a way... to turn off your news hammy. 
That makes two of us! I wish you didn't get my awesome news either.

π
oh no... don't do that. 
Nobody except @wraith plover do this!
I might π€£
Thank you! Is that still going?
When you realize that there are multiple galaxies in STFC
It kinda ended today.
as long as i have pauly i'll be fine 
Curses! @queen jolt!!!!!
Okay. Hehe. π
without CoTa our ferengi loot potential has gone down significantly
I've been saving up for some prime orbits... porbits....
where was this again
there is a search
i just found that
a research
(no i'm definitely not still mad you took away the GS BPs in the ferengi store all those moons ago hammy)
yall added in a search but cant fix the game?
normalize the word yall! 
it's a horse if you riding it 
@heady moon but seriously, today's officer bug cost peeps armada directives among other things. What happening with that??
I'd ping support to see if you can get the derictives back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v_R180kIGs what is this then π€

I sent mine to CS already
I was wondering if there was an overall plan
Iβm curious how out of touch you have to be to be promoting your upcoming animated short (which only the smallest percentage of your user base is likely to care about) while you canβt execute simple stability fixes and quality of life enhancements. Totally hypothetical question, of courseβ¦..
Where were you like 3 hours ago. This exact sentimenet has been shared. Like, a lot.
just a protip Hammy when the next time yall give out comp chest or a gift why not add in g6 speedups
hey @heady moon are us non RL prize winners going to be able to do anything with those first contact token thingies? π€
comp chests have been worthless for months now, don't count on it
Don't think there will be.,
no
Some would say the greatest prize is hoarding them.
A very Sad day indeed
thats why i said add in speedups it wont be worthless anymore cuz ppl need g6 speedups
So I'm to tell everyone to make a claim with CS ?
oh lovely more crud cluttering up my inventory π€ͺ delete feature for old tokens when?
Yep
We need a inventory Scrapper
Asap
on that note
YAY RANDOM CRUD! 
they should just use utilise the emergency field rations or a similarly useful mechanic again
we've been asking for that for like... 8 years. ``
Making money to not spend in game
But glad itβs being said. Hopefully you can make sure itβs being heard.
Its been passed on.
How did we get here?
That's a new one
yup
veil shenanigans?
add this to the error code list
are you g7? veil space error maybe?
or maybe arena
Nope, I'm G4. I am waiting till' someone figures how I got this message
Honestly though, if I just finally get my bulk facton store enhancement, saving me 10 tedious minutes a day, they can make whatever animations they want.
clicked on a link in gc?
i mean there aren't a lot of instances where you swap galaxies lol
I just bookmarked a location in the arena
could this ever be... retrieved one day perhaps
since it's been this way for several months
To get that specific message. Wanted to know what happens
I should be compensated for this.
yeah not doing that
almost 600 66s
truly cba to grind so much for such useless rewards
go tell them that in your private Digit hotline
JG Wentworth is asking permission for your location
especially with kirshara being so dodgy you can't look away for 5 seconds
Why in the world do they keep investing resouces into making animated movies when the basic game functions struggle daily?
The amount of resources it takes to do those animated shorts is pretty minor
The art team is already being paid and already working on things, that have nothing to do with stability or bugs. Diverting resources would be irrelevant
maybe it's different departments
how about working on ads that aren't cruddy generative AI that don't reflect actual gameplay? π€
btw that system is located to the left of tt. game bugged out a while ago and showed me the system lol
What goes in here?
I believe that's Tom Hanks kid
sorry if i missed it, but is cerritos event broken for anyone else?
which event
california class
yeah! is usually followed by wut, sometimes ok. but ok usually follows wut more.
Yeah
He's been in a few things
Band of brothers
Colin Lewes Hanks (born November 24, 1977) is an American actor and filmmaker. He is best known for his role as Gus Grimly on the FX crime series Fargo (2014β2015), which earned him nominations for a Golden Globe Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Critics' Choice Television Award.
Hanks gained mainstream attention after a main role on the WB...

@heady moon sooo when/how will scopely notify the #1 place winner for that event?
homie didnt last long lol
<@&509690795536941056> @heady moon So..... is this what we should expect from now on when it comes to you screwing up and compensating us for having to put up with constant disruption, lag, and "Performance Instability"? Comp chests that are nothing but hollow jestures.... how many people have already completed their BP? 1 Daily loyalty Badge.... we get those already on our own.... with little fuss... and one single office chard. How Magnanimous of you all!!! You should be so proud of your generosity. THIS is the kind of short-sighted, backhanded b.s. that turns people away. And you want them to come back.... why?
Is it still possible to get the g6 AT material tasks at 71+?
no
on the bright side I fired my GS31 beam without the disconnect symbol π₯³
on the down side everything else seems to be desyncing from server now π€ͺ
In other words, careful moving up. You might regret it.
Nothing like letting someone down gently and that was nothing like letting someone down gently π€£
interesting I lasered 5 hostiles with gs31 and 5 xindi hostiles INSTANTLY respawned π€
so they did fix some stuff... just broke other stuff in the process... as usual
We'll be sending out special in game news and private messages to the winners. Probably later today but maybe tomorrow.
well hopefully i get my message because the ingame chat has never been very reliable for me... π my chats wipe every few hours
NEWS?!
wotever it is.. I opt out 
is the California class sms every week?
every wednesday
Unless we just get nothing like today....
Same procedure as every timeβ¦.π
now alliance tasks glitching 
I completed a task, claimed the reward, CLAIMED ANOTHER TASK, went and did it, and I go to turn it in, and it's back to the PREVIOUS TASK which I already claimed
game's out of sync. you gotta close the game and reopen it during the alliance tournament sometimes.
messes with refreshes/completes
there should be a poll. how many times do you restart the game due to issues a day? 2x. 4x. more than 5x? lol
A brand new First Contact Officer Battle Pass has landed in Star Trek Fleet Command, and in this video we break down exactly what it gives free-to-play players, what the paid tracks offer, and whether the value actually holds up.
DJz, Griffin, and Professor Tarpey dig into the numbers behind the new pass, including free track rewards, bonus recruit pulls, officer shard math, and the eye-popping cost of chasing a full guaranteed officer unlock. Is this a smart value play for spenders, or another all-or-nothing whale trap?
One thing is clear: free tracks with real rewards are always worth a look. But once the spending starts climbing, the math gets a whole lot more interesting.

@minor furnace is opt out!
yeah it made me waste a task worth of xindi turnins 
fortunately I have extra but still
now my NX refinery is borked π€£ come to think of it I'm not sure I updated client on PC just mobile let me try that
nope it's updated... let me try repair
maybe I'm just hallucinating things π€
no easy AT tasks for you sir
ok nx refinery is ok... it's just when I opened the refinery IT WAS ALREADY IN THAT FOLDER SOMEHOW
withou tme selecting the folder
Anyone else having issues with the Squall both mining in epic transogen failing randomly, as well as the shipβs ability both failing and going on a massive cooldown even after docking?
Mine has been doing weird things. Thought it was just random weirdness.
No, this is definitely different and worse weirdness than normal, at least for my gameplay experience
yeah mine's not resetting back on to the node after defeating a hostile. and then if i manually reset it, no more hostiles...
<@&509690795536941056> dealing with issues mining and killing the auto suliban ships in epic transogen systems
Yeah just had my Squall die after killing the first hostile and Automated Defenses dropping, still on cooldown after repairing
Is the teaser video that we can login and play? Anything else is lost one me.
Nope, just a video that they've worked up rather than try to fix and stabilise the game
Scopely please fix the Squall!! It's making it very difficult to do anything with it. Been reported already so I won't list issues again.
looks like we need to go back to the drawing board on keeping the at store steady while I'm trying to look through it π€£
I somehow have 2 ships stuck in warp, for a half an hour, at 00:00 time to go
Defeat can be a verb or a noun. A quick check for plausibility would have been enough...
Raised this
It amazes me that even the spam emails you send spin in my inbox. Thatβs some true dedication to your craft.

For 8k tokens .. Really
Same as during the arc they expect you to have the building maxed
the building and dauntless..
Yeah my dauntless is still useless pretty much
Mines tier 5
Same
Wow really? Copely deleted my post?π€£π€£
I posted an issue with my ships being stuck in constant 5-10min battles and they delete it? π€¦π»ββοΈπ
Did you use language that was inappropriate?
That would do it
I have 2 ships "stuck" in warp.
Have exited annd restarted game.
Have done "repair" before launch.
Have Restarted the device (PC)
No luck
Brokly doesnβt own translator
Yes! This, too! Itβs making it very hard to do the weekly task <@&509690795536941056>
Weeeee lets lag out the game
Whoa. Sheesh. Almost thought I lost access to gc.ππ
Changed my role to g7 and GC disappeared on me.π€£
Does the Monaveen MkII refit add sigma resources to the archive pull?
The glitches and lost rewards are not the way to get a new player to spend money.
Saltwater was One of her trance hits
550 aggregation hostiles will keep you busy.....
70 to go, woo
Sadly no company discount.?
I finally got one
trying to bring back old players - "still lag?" - "yeah" - "still one hour maintenance?" - "two to three" - "half as many issues?" - "twice as many"
Don't do it π
Untill two days ago I could summon Vger's in lvl 59 having to only kill 5 ships for some reason I cant and have to summon in 58 system making me double the ships needed and costing me more in Lat for repairs what the frack
What a good day to take a break. Having 2 ships in forever warp and hoping things will be fixed by tomorrow.π€·π»ββοΈππΌ
Good luck with that youβll be waiting as long as the gta 6 release
Ladies and gentlemen.
My mining ship is tangled up in a stuck position. It does not and cannot. And will not get recalled or stop flying. It is hung up. I put in a ticket i've heard nothing since, and that's been over twelve hours.At least.That's what it seems
I'm hoping that this will get somebody important that knows how to fix things and not make it worse.Then what it already is
This aggregation event seems a bit brutal π₯΅
is yours tracking? mine isn't
who?
ah, was gonna say...to get the cerritos duh lol
oh i did that
still gotta get the resdt
just gotta buiff my ship
then i can get that purple stuff
it shouldn't, it's not a bad word or inappropriate
one word may not sem bad in your countrty but it might translate to a bad word in another
For the Alliance πͺ
Your ship will get stuck as soon as it leaves the base
πΏ
π
get on my lvl
get on pc
Imagine if you ship pulls the base with it mid teleport π
now the ship might get stuck on ablity mode even after its done like last time lol
-0.01 ablity and still going lol
Did they fix this buffer error we had yesterday?
Is there a lvl 51 swarm
Quit being a Paffle π₯π§ hater !!!! U know who u are !!!

My alliance said that is why leave it for the lowers
I am ops 48

<@&509690795536941056> I never received my rare ticket from completing all 9 ticketed events over the weekend. I opened a ticket, and haven't received any support over 2 days later

They both circle Uranus in search of Klingons
yup im done
yeah no thanks
guess i am done with events today lol
time to turn off game and roll up a phat one
Why do y'all not have higher swarms need lvl 51
looks fine to me
Probably because that was the highest ops level when swarms came out.
when is g6 freebooters lol
Also, what's a good crew for the Orion Vgers?
at ops 71 im using E Riker, E Data, S31 GG, with the trinity and PIC Hugh below
idk i keep blowing lol
i get 2/3 kills per hull
Thanks!
New ship?
The Enterprise?
Excelsior is supposed to be good for Vger, but mine isnt high enough to hit 71 yet
highest i can hit is 64
A second one
LoL
i dont think u can get 2 of those
Any tips for unsticking a ship? Restarted and cleared localization, no dice.
π
ik ik
They are still working on my last ticketβ¦
omg
Thanks though
I left to go to the doctor today. STFC was deleted from my PC and I can't even install it.
How about fixing the bugs rather than producing stupid short films.
i rem someone sayin
it cost em less resources to make those then fixing the bugs

Hey my ship is stuck in warp. Canβt hit stop. Tried rebooting twice and nothing happens
did you clear loc yet?
Just did. Didnβt work
might need to call support or wait a few hours for it to unfreeze π
Great. Just my luckβ¦
Guess itβs good I have two selkies. Hope this one isnβt stuck
Are you kidding me
Now they are both stuck
so thats 2 ppl now #π-galaxy-chat message
Same system too
i got more presteel than anything else lol
idkkkkkk
check if someone can see the ship, if they can get them to blow it up
if they cant uh, contact support π
Itβs another silly bug that needs to be fixed asap @heady moon
Restart / clear local donβt seem to work, but if you locate the mining ship and view the system while recalling it, it has worked for me couple of times
Canβt recall or hit locate. Stop doesnβt work either
They arenβt showing up in system. NX showed nothing there
Sent an email because thatβs now two selkies stuck in hell
it was fixed thats the problem
Then definitely contact support to have them help you before global fix gets done on this new garbage

The general status of STFC gets more absurd every day
someone said the orion got stronger than last time they fought it
bruh idk how to build the corvettteeeee
it didn't
this bug is annoying me
they became weaker :p
but I killed them fine, with Janeway on my ship no less, at equal ops lv
Ludicrous speed in STFC would be nice
yet i hit a 62 and blow up lol
i was thinking i needed the ship hanger research to build it, guess what, the research is at ops 18 :/
nah genuinely i need to contact support to build a corvette, this is crazy
i did orions like easily yst lol
way too easily
teach me your ways master
and what ship
unrelated to this topic
why havent scopley added a edit messages function in the ac in game lol
You can beat Orions once you stop posting yt videos
Nope. Just spam sucks

i thn=ink its btr to just buy scopely π€£
Funniest thing happened today... I looked at the Tresury and noticed that it had some stuff I think I'd like to buy... which means I'd have to purchase one of those desealing rods. When I took a look in the store to see if I could buy a desealing rod, I couldn't find it anywhere. Anyone know where it is located to purchase since it's not showing up anywhere for me.
fun fact
As of April 2026, NVIDIA is the richest company in the US by market capitalization, valued at approximately $4.60 trillion. By revenue, Walmart is often considered the largest, with over $680 billion in annual sales, although Amazon frequently rivals it in total revenue and market value.
seems like its gone
yeah... guess I'll keep my streak going of not buying anything... they almost got me... lol
amazon is superior in every way to walmart.
the quality is obvious.
Neither Amazon nor Walmart have a coherent way of locating products you actually want.
Walmart allows random people to list items on ther website. Amazon doesn't keep items separate, so the scam items end up with the real ones.
When you buy from an "official" store on Amazon, doesn't matter. They just pick the items from anywhere. It's not separated, they just don't bother.
Both have some terrible quality products for sale.
amazon is a thousand times better. i call and i'm refunded. i talk to a bot and i'm refunded. i have a question about what i just bought, i'm refunded.
That doesn't make it better.
Fine work, Scopely
and then... if you wanna talk about confusing... check out amazon haul. it's their version of aliexpress/temu random category shopping
That just means the prices go up to compensate.
prices for the next man. i was refunded. π
Yes, meanwhile they deliver a tripod instead of a motherboard to me, and pretend they didn't notice.
I want to just take a compilation video of all these errors and post it up on Youtube with some Benny Hill music
Amazon doesn't care at all. Well, neither does Walmart, so I guess the same?
i was hanging out with a friend who fired his gs31 laser and it finally went off just as the hostiles struck the core in solo wave and he failed it. i heard the song from "chariots of fire" lol
I was actually told by a manufacturer rep to not buy their items on Amazon, because Amazon kept delivering fake/scam products instead of the real ones the manufacturer was sending.
for awhile amazon had some bad jeans from levi. they were in fact levi jeans but they were from strange countries that weren't using good stuff. they still got pictures up in the reviews and some of the country tags.
i forgot lithuania existed.
This was a cheap plastic tripod with an Amazon inventory label stuck on it saying it was a motherboard. That label was applied over the original Amazon inventory label. Also no one at Amazon questioned a motherboard that was only 2 inches wide.
Also I recieved a preorder book from Amazon before that had food in it.
After it went on general sale.
to be fair, i ordered an sbc off amazon. it was 2 inches.
on the shipping label it said ,"parts computer parts single computer full."
π€
This had the exact part name of a consumer motherboard.
did you refund? π
Is mirror space going to get fixed ?
hey does anyone know where i can source the partical synthesis chaos tech outside of paying real money
Yes. Amazon employees covered for Amazon, and entered it as a stolen package instead.
Guess who has trouble ordering electronics now? Me.
Granted, I am sure Walmart employees would do the same thing.
ah see it wasn't employees it was one. look i'ma tell you a story ok? when i was younger i was working fast food right. i was a teenager, making ends meet. first time i ever met a white girl named tanisha. i asked her hey where is your folks from, she told me alaska. i thought alaska had their own king up there and all that. mind you i was in advanced math, no clue alaska was a state. speaks volumes to public education.

It's a culture of denial, lying, and poor behavior that sadly tends to happen at many big organizations.
And okay, but you wouldn't give someone a hamburger and tell them it was an Alaskan fish sandwich because you were uninformed about Alaska.
sounds like most large scale corporations on the planet right now. but i definitely wouldn't give somebody a filet-o-fish by accident.
hamburger... maybe.
i guess that's just because of rushing so hard.
i'd add though it's not on the customer i passed them the wrong item.
When is the next GM hostage video about game stability? I feel like another one has to be coming soon because man you havenβt done anything noticeable since the last one that hasnβt been overshadowed by current performance
You're right, I haven't, I'll get right on that. /j
(joke in the sense it's addressed to galaxy chat)
i'm staring at my screen at my ship stuck in warp, and i spent money on this game, i should go have my head examined
*examines your head - "you're" nuts"
i did a clear cache, and....was able to see my ship in the system, but half of mining nodes showed no ships on them, but try to occupy one, says 'do i want to attack' ok, loading system problem, some ships showing, other not, go to galaxy view to clear up the load of the system view, ship stuck in warp again.....
and yeah I got to have some kind of addiction problem or wishing the game would improve, to keep wasting my life playing it
not saying i have ANY room to talk lol
π€¦
theres actually a klingon interceptor on it, you just cant see it.
its occupied :p
can anyone confirm if the affected armadas are working again after yesterday's patch?
Scopley give me my miner back π canβt recall it either
Fix game vs creating another dumb short imho
probably diff teams
but yea i get what u mean lol
Ships becoming Locked into Perpetual Warp unable to view space there in or recall to Base , Clearing Localization worked once but haven to relog game to get some features to work REALLY REALLY SUX"s
well i suppose another 100 players deleted the game tdy
the question is why we haven't done so yet .... π
Define Scopely is it working? Is it a temper thing Repear fix or a
bug π virus π¦ replacement as this game keeps crashing in one way or another
So true... π π
game broken again i guess
I had the same problem today. Luckily, I'm not alone.
The ones I did seemed ok
ty
Whoa did i miss a change or update? Base defenses looks like it got nerfed
They're always nerfing what we already acquired to try to convince us to buy more.
When they expand the map, I lose significant warp range.
Got three ships stuck in warp .... It's getting ridiculous now, it's getting worse not better!
Qorfit system is completely broken for me on 172. Ships not moving, stuck in warp, destroyed OPC ships still in system unable to select node. WTF is going on π€¦ββοΈ
Preparing for crashed servers me thinks.
Everything will work again once there is a Client CorrUpdate β¦ π
Is a new bug that when i send a ship mining in territory it goes on augment space instead? ππ€¦ββοΈ
same Stateside system. could not park ship on any available node. had to clear localization like 5 times and it finally took one. shows my ship is mining on other nodes to other players. also seeing the same complaints on our GC too.
Currently I canβt join solo armadas. This clown show gets worse.
I was literally watching this today lol
just another game freeze up, like when claiming rewards for events, turning in officer directives, and now claiming chests, real great work on this game, like a snowball rolling down a ski hill, just getting bigger and bigger
same happen to me an hour or so ago, ship stuck in warp to that system, had to do a ticket and they sent my ship back to base
Quorfit is a warp freeze system, don't send your ship there unless you want to spend time in a ticket to scopely
The fix isnβt the clientβ¦ itβs getting rid of scopely and hoping the next developer actually listens to player base and isnβt incompetent like scopely
Something is very wrong with the back end. I just did two solo waves in a row and had constant drops of commands, freezes, and a 15 second disconnect after using the GS beam. If I didn't have a max junker I'd have lost both.
did a solo wave, and 2 of my ships got stuck in combat, had to switch views to research to change screen layout and then back to the system where i was able to recover and barely finish the solo wave
Same.
this game is the worst type of service in the world right now, it lures you in, you invest tons of time...and money...and when it fails to work properly you don't want to quit because of all the time and money you invested
and there is no legal recourse whatsoever that you can do, this is the worst regulated industry in the world, combining a gaming service with gambling, and subject to no laws that would pertain to gambling
Sunk cost fallacy. Plus the social network you've built in the game. That's why they openly stated this is one of the stickiest games in the world. They know people don't want to quit. It's designed for addictive personalities. You could call it predatory.
this is why this game is based in locations that people can't serve them legal notice, you can't go to their gaming office and protest and so on, they are totally immune, the UK Parliament held a debate on this, is on youtube
Raid is even worse, but, the game does not break down
Can anyone tell me why my cube as lost power since Monday?
failure to make a payment, and a space tow ship came by and hauled it away
since they did that patch for exo's to work on ships out of dock, the game has gone wonko, all research/FT's artifacts, anything that improves the ship's base power, has been corrupted
Faction store is bust
i know one tab that will never break, the sales tab
I normally finish 70 elite outposts with 70% hull. Instead I failed on 34/72. They broke a lot of things that I don't think they know how to fix.
i seriously think the level 71 to 80 range is the last this game will push out, they made it x10 more slower and difficult than the 61 to 70 range, this to drag it out slow while pushing out arcs to cash in, this game is effectively in ICU at the hospital and the doctor is telling the family to make final arrangements
For those stuck in Qorfit, try using a disco to recall... Worked for me.
It's a core foundation problem, probably the software and base code for the game, and everytime they add onto it, it gets worse. It is like building a car, get the best engine, tires, transmission, suspension, but the frame is defective and fragile, the car is thus useless
i tried that, it won't lock onto the ship stuck in warp because...it's in 'warp' with a 0 timer
i got mine back after 30 min wait on a ticket
In MU Klatu and reds will not load and the few there are now stuck.
This is 10x worse than yesterday.
arena on Friday is going to be impossible
not that i ever win a random team match, but now you won't even be able to engage in the pvp, imagine how this game is going to wonk out trying to switch servers from yours to the pvp server and back, can you say CRASH! yeah
they don't even do incursions any longer
and peope are leaving, my alliance can hold 105, and we were at 105 a month ago, we are at 100 now, including a lvl 72 that quit
Is there a problem with sending ships to hazard systems and being stuck in warp few of my alliance as well as myself having issues of stuck ships
Number two on server 20 with 105 now down to third with 92.
almost a daily thing now to see in GC a player saying: Here is my base, shield is down, raid it, and thanks, and good bye
Yes, big time problem with ships stuck in warp
Yes. I had to do a ticket yesterday to get my Ent-E unstuck.
i played Everquest off and on for 27 years, and never in it's history did players come onto a chat site and say 'this game is finished' or 'why is this broken now for 2 years or 2 months or even, 1 week'
I had a level 70 Enchanter and SK on Quellious back when that was the highest level. Played if for a decade since the start.
EQ is still running too.
and for the price of 1 pack in this game, you can get full everquest game access for 1 year, and the micro transactions is limited mostly to cosmetics and minor enhancements that don't profoundly change the power of your characters/account
Haven't bought a pack in 4 years. 71 with 200B Veggie too.
yeah I played from late 1999 to 2010, got to 85 i think, and then off and on since then, I got the subscription last year when this game started tanking, my mains are nearly level 130, which is the max
130? Crazy.

you are basically a god in EQ if you go through the first dozen expansions
and many servers allow boxing, and with mercs, you can make a 1 player team of x6 characters easy peasy
my main set up is SK/Shaman/Bard with x3 mercs
me in 1999 lol
I remember sitting on the boat just listening to the music to travel. Now it's all instant. It certainly changed a lot. But it never got "buggier".
everquest runs as smooth as silk
i do miss those 84 person guild raids in the early 2000's though, that was....unique and probably never be seen again in gaming
I recalled my miners. When they appeared in dock, the game said they were still by the nodes. I had to hit recall again. Then they had warp storm behind them when I hit manage.
They HAVE to be doing unannounced backend maint right now. It's way worse than yesterday.
lol
thats an awfully big station
Typical π
Even though it says jalapeΓ±o, they are not ultra spicy.
I wish I had some to snack on right now while the lag resolves. π
lol while here in discord, the game shut down
This morning is great, the game is unplayable! We can't mine anymore! It's full of new bugs!!!
i put up a 1 day shield this game is not reliable
and now the usual routine i've been doing for years, close the game, wait, then reopen to see if the shield actually took hold
i'd do a week to be safe these days, lol
Aaannnd now I have a miner stuck in warp.
so have 100's of others
Okay, explain the warp issue
Qorfit is problematic, send miner, and is stuck in warp, game restart of clear cache does not work, resolved by....you guessed it, ticket
that looks like Qorfit
Thatβs because it was
Mine was just like that. Unstuck when I changed my view to the veil and back.
Took me about 10 restarts
So, <@&509690795536941056> are w getting a fix for ops 71 needing to kill 550+ hostiles for a non-heroic event?
odd, not having any issues with the system
The Aggregation AST?
oh yes, this aggregation hostile hunt is just...whatever, if you don't have a dauntless at your level
The grind on the event was raised but haven't heard anything
but it IS a heroic event
i made over 100 million ship exps farming them with an ent-e, and only halfway done
Itβs like a rave
heroic, key word for meaning, you had to spend to do it without hours of game time to do
wasn't fun hitting almost 600 66s
yep, everyone piled into the 66 system on my server as well
so yeah, sent 4 miners to Qorfit, got some, recalled, didn't have an issue
π€£
it is probably related to the general game instability, it is not constant, if you send it at the 'wrong' time, they'll get stuck
like a flickering light bulb that is on it's last legs
The issue isn't one system it's all systems. There seems to be a connection problem going on in the backend. It works fine and then craps out. Go do a wave or two with your GS and you should see it.
I need some help, what to do? stuck in warp... client restart doesn't help
Seen some one on my Gc say Stateside they had an issue
wow the very competent stfc team broken the gama again
bet it was our feedback asking for it
clear lokalization helped me with that
Itβs a quantum ship, itβs there and not there at the same time
two of my ships got stuck in battle with a wave i did, i know the routine, quickly went to research and changed display, then back to the system to have them out of combat
cleaned... no changes((
clear local did not work for me and tried several times, ended up sending a ticket and 30 min. later my ship was back in dock
They are getting so many stuck ship requests they aren't responding. They are just unsticking them and moving to the next.
now, this is legit RNG, your ship may be free after a clear cache, or...it may not
but but but we get some vid we can watch
think thats why scop make our ships stuck so we have time watching it π€£
Ops 63 and I will need 700
@silver parcel #π -known-issues message
so. are conqueror borg armadas fixed?
Am I missing something? I've maxed a Gorn Eviscerator as well as it's warp research. But I'm 30 short of reaching the 68/70 systems
FC kirks warp thingy?
Looks like many are have this "hotfix" issue
ive had that issue off an on since I started playing 6 years ago
Absolutely correct. I thought I had that maxed, but after your comment I checked and had 1 level remaining and that sorted it. Thanks!
im a couple levels behind on my command center I need that last bit so I can keep using rot a little deeper into G6
Sorry, but I have to be honest about this. The first reports came in this morning. For me, it was 6:45 when these mining problems started. When I then read three hours later that it's working again, it feels like a joke. Unfortunately, you're the one who feels my frustration π. Still, thank you for still being here and trying to help us.
the problems not even put into #π -known-issues
why?
If they put every issue with the game into a channel people would be scrolling for days
there isnt enough space for all of the issues
games suffering again, cant even put out a miner or do anything else
does any of this maintenance fix anything?
Im looking for a allaince to join
check your local server discord?
whats happeninggg
it should be?
can you get a button for max pull/get ? wont klick each time cos the store is so laggy like not click 20 times on MU Picard ..
for the love of god please fix the Kishara! got over 500 aggregation ships to kill and the queue keeps dropping
we are now investigating
any update on the Alliance Chat not working? it's been 17 days now. how hard is it to debug something as rudimentary as alliance chat?
will bump this
repairing ships has been laggy and effectively non-functional for a month. and that is even more fundamental to the game, while to go for chat to be fixed
smaller players are failing on xindi armadas because no one else is showing up for them as nothing is being posted in AC for 2 hours and it all comes flooding suddenly
@queen jolt while you active. Any chance of getting some confirmation on a whole load of captain/officer abilities now not working on retaliation hostiles is a deliberate nerf or an unintended bug caused by the exocomp update?
all miner useless !!! patch please !!!!
Donβt worry about all the problems, they have a new short that you can watch coming soonβ¦β¦ it will make everything ok π
over 40 mins i have been trying to move a ship on and off a mine, recall ships,. ive cleared localisation, nope. wiped and reinstalled game, nope, installed it on the PC nope. this is silly, when is the pack coming to remove the lag?
repeatedly restarting the game just to be able to play is not normal π
tell me about it, wont work on tablet, phone or pc at mo π
absolute shambles π
i requested deletion on my alt accounts. only got 1 left. seriously thinking that after 8 years of not being listened to , it might be time to quit.
not being listened to is kind of normal in the gaming industry, and I could overlook it, as long as the end product is at least playable and not filled with bugs and getting worse with each release...
if it worked, and was not like a full time job the game would become fun again. i swear i only play now out of habbit as i have been playing for so long.
dont worry they are actively looking into the ships being stuck! just like all the other bugs being actively looked into over the past 1-2 months that havent been fixed yet. everything will be fine SOON haha
yeah if you are suggesting new content but not if you just want them to fix their product π
the industry isnt producing games anymore, they are designing systems to extract money... if you want a game you need to play indie
like "amardas are comeing soon" Tm, 2 years later. 
@queen jolt Alliance tournament is also impacted, some members donβt see alliance tasks or theyβre retrievingβ¦ more annoying after task done they canβt collect
@unborn urchin games gubbed again, miners not resetting on nodes, other ships with 00.00 lag just fix it so the game functions
Does 100 apex shred cut reduction in half regardless how much apex barrier I stack, or does it cut apex barrier numeric value in half and reduction is generated based on that. Which would mean stacking apex barrier counters apex shred
PLEASE for the sake of the game continuing on,, PLEASE FIX CHAT
Emergency maintenance, the store might be broken as its linked to normal chests ^
An absolute nightmare been stuck like that for an hour @unborn urchin
Maybe try recalling it with a Disco
yeah game breaking bugs - we'll get round to it, store broken, HOLD UP EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE
I think you've misunderstood how server maintenance works...like in all other games, the game gets better afterwards...you're doing the opposite of that. π
@finite crypt nope don't work
Soz I can't think of anything else
hey peeps anyone still experiencing squall/warping issue?
Ferengi premium opportunity chest tokens, where are they located?
Just used my Squall for the last 2-3hrs with no issues
what about generic lag when doing anything in game ?, just a small issue that keeps reminding a player every few seconds FOR MONTHS now ..
You need to buy the premium pass to use those
Real Money Store last time i checked.
you didnt buy the anti lag pack? They dont care! about the general performance they have made it abundantly clear the last couple of months
I have the frengi battle pass, but I don't have those tokens
You paid for the premium bottom track?
Yea
yeah @queen jolt or <@&509690795536941056> are indeed soft selling anti-lag prime(s) .. on multiple fronts .. they are un aware that we players are getting bored of those generic issues that seem to rise and players are just getting annoyed
tokens are in the overflow for the ferengi pass, can only spend them if you buy the pass
It's in the event store with the other Ferengi stuff
Ic, in the overflow . Ty for the answers. Much appreciated π
My game has been fine today, so not everyone having the same issues
stockholm syndrome! you telling me your GS beam has been fine? Kishara is working and the repair button works?
I have the issue with ship attack for 2 months now (PC) since the update. I click attack and ship remains in place 90% of the time
GS was fine, kir'shara didn't use much but worked okay and repair button has no issues
Only thing I had was lag sending a ship to an armada
On mobile, that sucks
No, but technically speaking there is always a chance that 99% of us are being affected by some Bug/Glitch and that 1% isn't going through the same experience. I don't blame @mortal canyon for being today that 1% since in the past there were Bugs/Glitches that i too for whatever reason had not been affected too.
The basics not working is what gets me. Repairing ships should not lag. its a basic function. GS beam worked correctly for a year and then suddenly theres a 10second delay in firing it. Its just basic stuff you use daily this stuff should not be broken or laggy
new stuff and out there stuff fine. but the fundamental basics of the gameplay is ridiculous
Not sure is as linear as 99 vs 1% but I get what you mean.
π€ The backend work they did Tuesday will mean less bugs in the future or at least fixed quicker.
I think the community should be focused on reports players are saying some officers no longer work on Outposts
I would prefer they focus on the veil systems loading in less then 20-30 seconds before figuring out the officers potentially not working. It is such a drag on the day to day gameplay
It's more the idea they have been deliberately nerfed rather than bugged.
But clearly they are working on that stuff but it's just taking a while to see improvements....so pushing on something they are focused on seems redundant
focused on something implies something different to me than them clearly, this has been a problem for months and there has been no improvement
@subtle vortex ... i am reading that @mortal canyon is just instigating & trolling .. don't feed him cookies .. he prob likes the drama more ..
back on topic there are so many issues / lag that unless the community at large puts its foot down .. there will be no real change and just more shameless πΈ πΈ πΈ πΈ πΈ $$$$$$$ grabs .. it seems to work ..
players are buying stuff
players are doing events
stats that scopely views are increasing .. so who cares
Listening to multiple content creators who work with and not they are doing work behind the scenes....yes they need to be better at comms.
But clearly they are doing stuff
Lol who is trolling now.
Sometimes I do troll but that usually is revolving around g5 scrapping sarcasm about it sorting everything out.
Today was being genuine
Can't collect anything.. lag too bad
case in point. The AMA 2 days ago, about the story and narrative behind the game. IF the game is performing to a standard then that may well have been interesting. but with the state of the game it was a frivolous pr exercise and completely pointless. they may well be doing stuff. but not the right stuff the game is in the toilet, the lag is daily, the basics of the game lag every time you do something, GS beam is still broken, Kishara is so hit and miss it becomes annoying. and they release a search box for research and exocomps you can use out of dock. Priorities seriously
Lag is bad every morning, afternoon, eveningβ¦..
lag has been bad for over 2 months.
did STFC's mom try to make a phone call - seems like the dial up connection has been disrupted
when your on a 8gigabit connection and get 9ms ping yet the game takes 2 mins to respond to a move ship request. lol
Lagtastic. Just getting worse
It's the Game Server that are here the issue, not your Internet Connection or your Bandwidth. You could be on the Mars and have the weakest connection and still go through the same issues that someone has that is literally in the same AWS Server Farm the Game is being hosted on. When the Server Client is broken, we all suffer.
guess we need a 4 hour maintenance - that'll do it
surprised my inadequate internet connection is impacting so many other players
My favorite to date. INVITE someone. π€£π€£π€£ yeah Sure get right on it after I find someone dumb enough
That has to be the ultimate βwe think the issues are fineβ to do that event
my honest guess is that the shameless rotation of new credits every arc only compounds to the issue.. every added value to a database that was never designed for that amount of reads & writes .. they are basicly pointed the gun (slowly) at their feet .. and just waiting till we pull the trigger ..
solution would be is to change the system (requests) ... maybe some form of loadbalancing ..
As posted on the 1st and today is the 16th. Seems mid month maintenance did not work
that was an April fools clearly
π€£π€£π€£π€£
wee but of fun π
it should be ferengi ..although even ferengi are not that cruel
I'm just happy they are skipping code examination and moving directly to connectivity improvements - no sense waiting so long for code to slow us down
but but .. they test the code π π π
Test is a strong word, more look at it and if it seems ok release it.
why doesn't scopely just clean up old items with (forced) conversion to some other more current currency ..
Because it doesnβt make money
because then we get something for nothing and thats just bad business
its a sad but true / funny response .. scopely makes no money with making things better, god forbid ppl would start investing more money .. and there would be happy responses .. thats bad business
@queen jolt i have issues with mining nodes, the node says my ships on it but my ships appears to be floating, 6k mined out of the node yet no cargo gained
Restart and clear the local isn't working
Question about V'Ger... I am using the USS Northcutt, Tear 4, lvl 20. What crew should I use against VGER, lvl 53?
code checking: bug free 1% / bug 99% = scopely: put it in atleast its working π βοΈ
search for the officer tool discord ---> charts and index --> vger (or https://stfc.cc)
Same for me - game is screwed again - thumbs up to scopely
I wouldnβt bother with the random relics event again, I donβt think it worked. It might be just me.
Thanks, I downloaded the xls file and will give it a shot π
Integer overflow? How in 21st century there is still so many bugs ... Even worse, you want money to play this game π€
Get an error message so file is not working π
Im unable to mine. Anyone else?
I keep getting stuck mid battle. Ridiculous
Yeah, I experienced that too
I had to restart to get my squall out of battle and had to restart mining
It took me 4 restarts to fix the stuck in battle
you realise i pointed not at 1 solution but at the collective combined user/player depot of knowledge .. a bit more effort of Doing it yourself and investigation would be not to much to ask right .... being lazy is this time my perogative π
What's the V'ger target ? Gorn, Hurak, silent or Orion ??
I sent him a chart of all of them
In #π€-help-each-other
Could we have a definitive bug fix each update? Next update .. Kir'Shara then GS31... and so on ...
2 ships stuck in warp since around an hour...
Or whichever
Specific bugs never seem to be addressed.
my mantis IA was broken for several weeks, it finally got fixed, I'm sure they have a bud queue
bug
Is the Lifear blokade over? can we get our ships home now? π
finally
If they do, we should see it. That way Scoops is accountable
that kindfa talk will get someone banned

just sayin pls read the rules i mean even if the rules still apply lol
Who are you talking to?
I dont think the games broken enough yet, they can do worse
I have no desire to see Scopely's bug list, it's probably thousands of entries long, and manyh of them would be incomprehensible
The 2 BPs we used to have for $30 have been split up into 5 for $100. I bet it all the same amount of stuff, just in smaller packages
Just an normal Fed up day today, folks
just wait till the weekend lol
Dodgy server's AGAIN
again? you act like it never left all it did was slow down and now it picked but up like a tornado at night
I. Think everyone is on the exactly same server, in a shed at the bottom of some bloke's allotment, with a leaky Roof.....
Thats the dream, we'd have stability then
one server with many virtual machines LOL
With second hand, tablet's for diagnosis screens ππ€£
off brand chinese tablet with tons of malware
We had something like that for sale in the uk, I'm trying to remember the name
We are already in mid April when is this G5 scrapping coming?
April 2030
why are people still so obsessed about g5 scrapping? There's ton of more important things that have been promised, but never delivered
like what
like bulk claim, bulk research and zillion other things
if we're not counting the countless bugs
didnt they alrdy say bulk claim will mess up something in the code?
Anything that can reduce the time to claim all daily chests to less than 2 hours ?
or make something like archives
Jeszz scoply what's the point of all the maintenance when you can't make the game better. Im stuck in battle forever
all pulls go there when you login just like the archive
yet they can make a short animated video.............
or that ridiculous discord event for this junk - meant to reply to the animated video.................
prob ur cash that was used to hire the ppl to make it lol
we need a store for that
a store that can exchange items in your inventory
What happened to G5 ship scrapping ?
I would be happy with the ability to convert all the useless inventory to field rations or anything to clear out all the useless junk that clogs up finding anything in inventory
been promised for a long time but still never delivered
Typical, so working as Intended
even when g5 scrapping does appear we all know its going to be utter pants for the players so I'm not sure why everyone is so desperate for it. Their track record over the past 12 months points to nothing but disappointment
I slate them daily but there is still half a month left, and the next arc is due to launch before the end of the month. They still have time to do it in April
but my point above about disappointment is most likely to be true even if they do manage it
Clearly, G6 scrapping won't be far behind it..........
π
*waits for the inevitable "I scrapped my g5 ship but didnt receive any rewards" bug reports
to get you reward you must pay 99.99
my game glitchin
the power thing keep going up and down
you never seen that before? happens all the time
yeah sometimes just gets glitched and jumps up and down every time you change screens
doesnt actually break anything or cause any problems other than the flashing numbers in the corner so happy to ignore that glitch haha
The game is being repaired more and more broken.
It's becoming more and more unplayable
I've no idea what this is meant to be π€£
- light green and pink space
That's just a Follow-up. " No G5 scrapping this month. We'll follow-up again next month. "
yo Scopley
Stop forcing us hitting fkr hostiles
Give us an alternative event
The year of perma superlag is getting tiresome
I'm good with scopely pushing G5 scrapping, if they would concentrate on the lag fixing the lag ofc
agree, problem is scopely won't do either and call it a job well done π everything is fine
don't worry till end of day all your ships stuck in warp and you don't going hit fkr hostile π€£
I've had that trying to do T space, New augment, and Solo wave's + Lost Armada's Due to it π‘
At least when the pandemic was in full swing,
The game seemed better
Will this catastrophy end ?
Loading and loading and loading and loading and laoding
Yeah,
If they sell it onto a star trek lovin' company
lets check #β-official-announcements if scopley are going to even pretend fix "todays's" broken game π€£
guess not
Anyone know what Sunk Cost Fallacy is?
Players who wasted $$$ on STFC are continuing to waste $$$ on STFC because they previously wasted $$$ on STFC
A weaponized dark pattern to keep you from quitting..
I don't need to go to school. I can just Google everything...
Some games sell players compelling content & gameplay and others build sunk cost fallacy engines to keep players stuck in a broken game
Now, how to make scones π§
I blame tournament,
Too much LOAD
I stopped spending months ago, I only get small BP now and don't give any more money to a broken game
Buying broken content does not seem worth it anymore
I stopped collecting it months ago
I ony get small BP because of the choice rewards tokens, as they are great value
I Don't buy anything else
aside from $20 BP i stopped buying for the past 2 months (tough but doing it on principle), when the fix lag I will consider if I buy anything additional
Truth be told this is why I stopped, too much lag and all the content being bought is broken and doesn't function the way it is supposed to
Dauntless... ABilitiy doesn't work
