[bold venture]

Interesting. So I get extra rewards? Neat! Based on who's spending, server or global? Not mine, can promise that heh. But I'm not complaining if my treasury is above my spending level. I'll take it! And ty for the enlightenment, never saw my numbers go up except by ops, but glad to know details i didn't before!

[hexed gorge]

Yeah, exactly, I think looking at yours it's at the top limit so will only be driven by ops now, the one precious though will never get the 1m lat unless they spend first, irrespective of ops

[bold venture]

So can't have my server whale harder to get me extra prizes, they've already whaled to their maximum capacity? 🤣 Ah well, still extra from base is cool😎

[native smelt]

yeah that's based on the packs available to you in the store

that said

my new account on 703 which hasn't spent even $5 for the extra queues is only seeing $100 packs in the store

so I'm guessing they just gave up with these tiered $ costs nowadays lol

[bold venture]

Epiphany! Was BA talking about my spending? Shucks, I don't even buy BP packs regularly lol. Some say "I'm mostly f2p, only $20/month". My average is much, much less than even that!😅

[native smelt]

yes, it used to be based on your spending

but I mean from your treasury it seems you are in G5, so even if you spend like $5/month average you probably have been playing for long enough to have spent enough for the max tier

it isn't hard to get there, accumulated ~$100 spent in your entire life should get you there lol

[hexed gorge]

On the older server even the ones only doing 20 a month will be near on 2k in by now 😆

[native smelt]

oh, wrong person. Yours is 49.

still same logic applies

I'd assume you have been playing for long enough that even with a very low average you probably spent ~$100 during your entire gametime

[bold venture]

Ah, 4.5+ year server, few bucks a month average adds up over long term. Yeah, makes sense. Ty both for the enlightenment!

[visual sparrow]

Ops 50 f2p 😂

[inner cave]

This event is silly. Amount res you spend for so little

[ornate geyser]

Skip it.

[bright smelt]

Everyday the amount you need to spend getting more 👀

[twin karma]

This hunt the hunters is a damn waste of time. Checking every DQ system for 1 target?

[acoustic bear]

Any hirogen will score points.

All the hostiles in ebriosys are for points or velixys

[inner cave]

I have

[inner cave]

Hit the elites or summon the 8472 etc

[dreamy patio]

Could use a bunch more hunt the hunter even ts, need more dilithium

[lone kraken]

At Operation Module level 45, this is a very useful treasury...

[proud wing]

Looks like a poor person’s treasury

Most of the content is spending linked, not Ops

[bitter snow]

That's a "I never spent anything" treasury, and you appear to have a free unlock... honestly it's the best officer loadout we've seen in a while, so I'd go for it 😄

[lone kraken]

Excellent reaction from the game moderator to the comment on my screenshots, it perfectly shows how the developers treat f2p players, it’s very professional))))

[proud wing]

But he is right, it’s the treasury non spenders get, everyone gets the same officers, the rest is in spend related tiers.

[lone kraken]

right or wrong is one thing, but I also want to be paid at work for making fun of people I don’t like or who are useless to me)))

[bitter snow]

And I was offering advice... I'll make fun of your lack of comprehension if you want me to though 🤷‍♂️

[proud wing]

Fairly sure Mods are paid in the tears of muppets

[dreamy patio]

https://tenor.com/view/muppets-muppet-muppet-show-kermit-the-frog-crying-gif-23230656

[cobalt dagger]

More hirogen hostiles please!!!!! Can't stay 8 hours to wait for them....we have a life...not only STFC....

[warped ginkgo]

Isn't that treasury like 5$ or something like that?

[bold marten]

Hitting hirogens 44-46 in New Talax (system 45) but it's too long, where could I go to hit 47-49 hirogens please? I have a 20M power Kelvin and I'm level 44, thank you

[hot talon]

Use warp range crew and try if you can reach the voyager systems

For example here Derevio System

[proud wing]

Yes.

[frozen abyss]

Ops 55 here. I'm pretty sure this is a mistake...

[whole wren]

Scopely is more and more stingy

[vast plover]

love the rewards shown above could be a 100$ pack

[radiant flicker]

Everytime you think the rewards cant get more worse scopay will proof you was wrong 🤣

[vocal silo]

seriously G3* as a level 55 in the Formation Alpha SMS

[vague wagon]

Ops53, bit early for April Fools

[frozen abyss]

official mods are aware, as it's being discussed in #🌌-galaxy-chat

[unreal vortex]

Also the SLB/ALB rewards are terrible

[frozen abyss]

I'm not offended by the SLB/ALB rewards at all.

More credits and reputation for Section 31 is welcomed

[unreal vortex]

You can get the credits if you do x3 10/10 waves 😅? doesn’t seem worth it/push it the reward last time had like syndicate xp etc in it

[livid cradle]

OPS 59, thats a bad joke, i hope it is a issue....

[drifting portal]

Ops 57 and these are the sms rewards for the final milestone 😂

[rotund canopy]

Same, Ops 55.

[rotund canopy]

Also, ticket events, Gas and Ore are about half of what crystal gives, and only crystal gives epic 5*?

[desert laurel]

Crystal usually has double payouts. Our needs there are greater.

[pallid charm]

g3.....REALLY?

[frozen abyss]

My hostile event didn't count for the meta...

Nevermind... It was delayed by about 15 minutes, for some reason

[wind fog]

Yes, that event seems to have a delay built in

[tardy lintel]

same here at ops 55. what are we supposed to do with g3 mats?

[next tendon]

@tardy lintel Delete the account because what rewards are for. getting worse

[austere stirrup]

Is there a point in waiting to upgrade Facade building seems it won't score in this WD event

[cold crest]

When your not powerfull enough no one will help you it a joke

Your tell can away

[thorny heath]

So today's Alpha sms was done for nothing? No compensation, just new event tomorrow?

[versed glacier]

Nice parsteel though!! 😆😆😆

[molten sigil]

Again not a formation armada event…

[unkempt lava]

@pseudo rune i spent my mats last weekend and i wouldnt have done that if janeway's was properly announced for this weekend

[eager kiln]

waves are so bugged bruh

[warm tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/skeptical-futurama-fry-hmmm-i-got-my-eyes-on-you-gif-17101711

Right?! Very squinty.

I'm OPS 49 and got the same thing.

[mental arch]

Thanks @pseudo rune for adding the SLB this weekend. Nice bonus (or extra incentive) for going after the sms. And love the Janeway selection, great officer

[proud wing]

Seems to be hard going for some people, not sure if it’s an inability to read or they haven’t done the event and are eager to complain

[pale rain]

With the stability of this game it was a horrible idea to begin with. If the game actually worked to some degree then yeah sure could be useful and maybe even fun. But when u crash mid wave just about every time it's just plain dumb

[main spindle]

I've found it's not always game stability that was crashing my game or causing lag. Though the game does have its issues with stability and lag I've found that using the proper bandwidth on your router improves stability and lag quite a bit to the point that the game's issues aren't as bad. Most WiFi routers have 2 to 3 bandwidths depending on your router try using the 5 GHz bandwidth or a 6 GHz bandwidth if u have a newer router that might improve stability a bit on iOS or Android device

[pale rain]

Not techy at all I'll have to look into that maybe

[unkempt lava]

And its the only mat to drop g5 epic currency. Gas and Ore rewards don't drop g5 epic, sadly

[hard hawk]

Anyone know the officers from the rare ticket event? Or are they same each week for the month?

[oblique dock]

same each week during the month 👍

[celest relic]

What were the formation alpha rewards supposed to be? Will there be double sms tomorrow?

[cunning radish]

Sucks to be you then

😂🤭

[unkempt lava]

Sorry, I don't do trolls.

[cunning radish]

You don't do SLBs either apparently

https://tenor.com/view/iu-gif-27617229

[young root]

Pakled scam event to steal mats leading up to unannounced Janeway event, I smell a conspiracy

[main spindle]

SLBs suck im not rich to compete in them

I prefer SMS spend events over SLB spend events. Only SLBs that are worth my time are PvE grind SLBs that don't require cash

Other wise SLBs are a competition to see who's willing to spend the most money to win and that's not winning if u ask me

[forest rapids]

At the sms tiers of this spend event, if you hit the halfway point you’re probably in the top 5 of an slb if not first. And if you did the final sms teir, then you’re pretty much gaurenteed to be first in the slb as well.

[main spindle]

@forest rapids the SMS aren't perfect i normally hit 2 milestones at best but a few officer shards are better than none when u can't compete with a SLB

I don't have money to throw at this game like some. I got mats to spend but am limited on what i can spend them on at my lv don't have many options for spending the rares and epic mats i do have so i get crappy points for the uc mats i can spend with the new ish points structure for both the SLB and SMS spend events

[acoustic bear]

@main spindle most f2p and or light spenders don't hit all the slb,s thats normal.

[ornate geyser]

Not on my server.

[dreamy willow]

@pseudo rune can someone over there please review that linked page about the next territory season. There seems to be a contradiction about the monaveen service as in one place it says it's not going to be a T3 service, but immediately after it says the T3s with Chronometric particles this season are getting the monaveen service next season.

[fiery fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/copy-paste-paste-copy-ctrl-c-ctrl-v-gif-12913156

Actual footage of the Scopely employee writing that news post

[ripe jungle]

Not mine either lol. You could probably complete all the milestones and not be in top 5 in an slb 😅

[ornate geyser]

Oh I’ve been that guy, lol not-lol.

Mostly not-lol.

[hidden cargo]

Hey hey, tried to take a stab at the wave defense SMS for today but the game crashed twice and I was able to get a grand total of one hostile

... gonna take a while at this rate

[spare perch]

So is there a reset of TC territories? It doesnt actually state that in the information. (as in, will ownership of current TC will be removed).

[spare perch]

Thanks, need my eyes checked

[languid kayak]

Server 38. Ship SLB daily event did not come up. Are we going to start that again?

[merry arch]

I 'heard' cosmic cleanup events were supposed to be saturday. I see a website (stfc.ovh) showing it today. But in-game I see no sign of it. Am I too low level (ops 18), or is there something else 'buggy' with it? Wanted to understand how to get my 'Franklin'...

[silent cedar]

probably shows up in a few hours at event reset

[merry arch]

Ah, so a time-zone type thing. Ok, I'll keep an eye out in a couple hours. Thanks.

[light elm]

Event reset is in the middle of the day for some of us. In North America’s Eastern time zone it’s at noon

[plucky ermine]

does anyone see the formation event that was announced yesterday?

[distant dawn]

We did, and it was starting the incorrect one with same G3 rewards as yesterday and then it got pulled

I assume it will be back shortly with correct rewards

[plucky ermine]

didn't pop up on my server

[plucky ermine]

omg sorry I thought Formation Alpha was a formation armada event 🤣 yeah we got the corrected one as well in the WD bucket

[bitter snow]

Haha, no

[eager patrol]

Was the compensation for Carl?

[warped ginkgo]

Well great now you've given them an idea. Next week the SMS will be all about acquiring the mats instead of spending 😆

[viral yarrow]

Waves are broken again, ships strength from wave 5 attacking and the count down clock to start wave one is still running, and when wave 1 is ment to start everyone's ships are sent home 🤦

@pseudo rune ☝️

[long slate]

Trip Tucker and Tpol

Nice synergy combo lol

Works well together

I like the blending of mining and pve/pvp

[austere ocean]

What was the Comp chest? My app crashed as I opened it so I’ve no idea what it was or if I received it!

[stable crow]

2 trip shards, a t'pol shard, and 300 ciphers for wave defence.

[austere ocean]

Thanks! No easy way to check but it is what it is,

[icy panther]

Double hostile bug is STILL in waves.

[slender escarp]

Quality over quantity

[fathom trellis]

think ill delete this to stop giving them ideas 🤡 😂

[forest knoll]

@scopley So anyone that likes battleships is screwed? What is your deal scopley? Why do you constantly treat us poorly?

[desert laurel]

Looks like each of the events have pairings, and I'd bet that tomorrow's event will have battleships again. Each ship type would work on 2/3 of the events. Shouldn't be difficult to squeeze in one run with an alternate type.

[forest rapids]

Q Trials event feedback... dont title it Q trials when everyone just AFK hostiles

[forest rapids]

Also... how come you reduced the officer shards in BP? Noramlyl final teir is 20 between elite and free pass

[nimble vine]

Anyone else keep having the rewards pop up for turf wars after you finished and collected it.

[indigo heron]

is it 10 or 1 point? cuz i am only scoring 1 for each hostile kill

+1

[rich kettle]

The online version won’t load for me

It’s there on the phone app. Anyone know how to get that fixed? I re installed the game. It won’t go past 76 percent on the load up.

[bitter snow]

76pct, try a different Internet connection/ip by swapping from WiFi to data, or a different network. Once you're in once you can go back to original connection with the block cleared.

[tawdry torrent]

Anyone know why as a level 53 with no access to G6 materials I’m on the same leaderboard as a level 67? 🤷‍♂️ kinda stinks

[proud wing]

Dumbnomics

[manic lion]

Cause there ain't enough level 60s per server to warrant there own bracket yet

[proud wing]

Fail to see why that’s a problem, just make the rewards for 60s rubbish

When you don’t want to make good rewards easy, make them junk instead.

[modern estuary]

anyone else getting massive lag just loading systems or swapping ships etc

[astral mirage]

A list of all the issues I have run into during one wave defence today

• Lag
• Clicking on system showing 0/5 but that WD is full
• Refreshing and then able to get into system but then it tells me only 2/5 players when 4 and then 5 players present with all ships in system.
• Game fails to tell me the wave defence has started (Ship UI still blue, scoring 'Hold the Line ALB even though nothing appears to be happening
• Unable to see hostiles
• Refreshed system to now see hostiles but unable to attack them
  The only thing missing was getting booted out via game crashing - and that's because I restarted the game before that could happen.

[celest relic]

Don’t forget doubled hostiles. You get twice as many to hit in the same amount of time. Lost out on tons of additional waves because we blew up to the unhit hordes

[astral mirage]

That's the only thing that didn't happen that particular time! 😂

[mighty mason]

And having killed all hostiles in wave 10 everything blowing up and it says you failed 😡

[wind fog]

Interesting, my game keeps crashing on almost every wave. Even after clearing localization and restarting my device.

[narrow violet]

Wave Defence been broken since day 1, scopely response to this is give us a 2nd season and change nothing 😄 just another day playing STFC 😄

[full egret]

https://tenor.com/view/what-did-you-expect-loki-laufeyson-disney-asgard-gif-19524410

[heady mica]

Waves seem more unstable than last season?

[clear dirge]

A tad. Very fun when you get a round that has doubled up on enemies to kill

[tulip owl]

Besides the Salvaged skins and the assimilated Stella. Is there anything else available in the Apex event store as you level up? (Currently level 39)

[cunning radish]

nope

oh wait you mean

nope (ops 54)

[tulip owl]

Yep those skins.. ahhh are the 4* parts worth it? Almost the all the skins from that event store so looks like I can FINALLY check something off as complete 🥳😅

[cunning radish]

i get more parts from elsehwere

depends if u need i guess

[errant iron]

Are there anymore unexpected SLB’s coming? I don’t think I remember seeing a spend event for Janeway on the list for this month…

[proud wing]

It wasn’t on the list, it was bunged in “due to player whining feedback”

[naive meteor]

One WD ended at W3 but even though my ship's were back at the base, I couldn't join another because I said I was still in one 🤦🏼‍♂️

[errant iron]

Will the same SLB happen again during the last Trip event?

[errant iron]

You have to restart your game. It’s dumb lol

[hollow trout]

Very good event for level 31

[jovial owl]

Not to mention constantly having to clear localisation just to see the wave hostiles. Never mind actually trying to shoot any.

[agile bridge]

Yesterday, very helpfully, I had a double set of hostiles spawn in wave 3 ... As in every single hostile that should have been there had a twin that was a couple of pixels behind the first ... Trying to clear that wave was fun ...

[manic lion]

At least it happened in wave 3 and not a later wave as is normally the case

[long slate]

I would say probably. Scopley changes things when they don’t make the numbers

Lol

2 ways to get Tripp Tucker and an additional material spend event

[naive meteor]

The only way I see a chance to get trip is do the 3 spend events "" then"" buy the rest 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[twin wagon]

When territory resets, will our bases’ shields still work?

[proud wing]

They will work the same as usual, can’t raise one if you don’t own it

[twin wagon]

So if I set a 3-day shield, I can stay there with no chance of being raided?

[proud wing]

Until the shield expires, yes

[twin wagon]

Thanks—that’s the info I need for some people in my alliance.

[proud wing]

There is always the possibility that all stations get evicted

They didn’t last time, but nothing has been said this time that i’ve seen

[hidden cargo]

I am sorry but the wave defense events are just laughable given ongoing (if not worsening) instability

just did a wave in which the game crashed three times

snagged 4 hostiles total

[burnt girder]

Yep, scopely can charge outrageous prices, but yet they can't properly update the servers and implement near-flawless code. With the money they gouge out of us, you think they would have better maintenance, event rewards and updates...

[woeful prairie]

Dear Player, Don't go spending all that UC Ore in one place now....spread it out. Signed....Scopes

[hollow trout]

Alr Thank you

[cold parrot]

When exactly will territories reset? <t:1705986000:f>? After maintenance? Or at event reset <t:1706029200:f>?

[bitter snow]

I would guess as part of the maintenance

functionally little difference as there are no takeovers tomorrow

[cold parrot]

It makes a difference for shields. If territories reset tomorrow and your base is in system, if your shield expires you won't be able to raise a new one in territory.

[warped ginkgo]

So if you know there's uncertainty, and you decide to stay in territory with an upcoming reset, there's nobody to blame but yourself if you get raided. I would relocate out and see what happens. Beats having support tell you "shield or share" in a 3 paragraph essay

[cold parrot]

Agreed. But that still doesn't answer my question of when exactly territories will drop.

[gentle cobalt]

scopely again send double hostile in waves (5th) but this time we survived (lvl57, 2 lv55, 1 lvl54 and one lvl49) and we rich 9/10 (last was impossible after 5 eat about 60% station hull))

[royal sorrel]

Ticket event this morning only has the two for ore and crystal. No gas ticket event. Any Scopely response?

[sour lotus]

There will be a standard maintenance shield carrying you beyond event reset

[cold parrot]

Understood. Still doesn't answer my question.

[sour lotus]

No official word out. It was reset during maintenance last (only) time. And it was literally answered directly.

[cold parrot]

I know what happened last time and I saw that reply earlier. Neither answers my question. I understand the answer may be unknown at this point so there's no point in guessing or repeating previous answers. (I don't mean that to sound as trolly as it may sound. Not trying to argue with anyone.)

[jolly sun]

After they update the game, you know Maintenace 5mins or 50 hours 😆

[lyric vale]

barely missed getting the Gas ticket completed. is there a way to get a Rare ticket in the Store?

[cobalt totem]

It still doesn’t matter, as was also explained to you 😉

[cold parrot]

There's a specific reason I was asking that was not mentioned. So it still matters. But if it's unkmown then it's unkmown.

[inland hamlet]

Put it this way when maintenance starts you will be kicked out, when it ends and you get back in territories will be reset.

So sometime b4 maintenance start and end., don't forget to update your client

[light elm]

You need to put a new shield up prior to maintenance starting if you are trying to remain in territory; if that is what you’re asking

[frozen abyss]

3-day shield minimum

unless you want it to drop way early

[nimble vine]

Anyone have to keep collecting this?

[cinder dew]

Lag on waves is terrible

[worthy plaza]

so what actually counts as a "destroy hostile", lost? hirogen hunters? elites? species? all of them?

[naive meteor]

Anything and everything.. 👉🏼🤣🖖🏼

[worthy plaza]

except the event payout tabs only lists hirogen and species. so....one thing says destroy hostile the other says only species and hirogen

yup confirmed, killing a lost doesn't count for the hunt the hunters despite it saying "destroy hostile"

[naive meteor]

If you hit lost more Hirogen show up

[worthy plaza]

which sucks because hirogens are a massive grind

[naive meteor]

I'm doing that, I have 31 BP'S and 5 more from token's

But at this moment I'm offline from the station

[worthy plaza]

if i can kill lost, it takes about 7 kills. if i have to kill hirogens, its about 60

[naive meteor]

Okay going afk 🖖🏼

[manic mango]

zee where are you

[fiery fulcrum]

If you have the Voyager, and your research+ship is caught up to your ops level, you can generally hit up even if it means using Grush to get farther.

[neat plover]

can anyone mine iso since reset?

[inner cave]

All zones are reset.
So no one owns any zones, therefore you can’t mine

Only 1* outside TC

[neat plover]

talking about the 3 independent zones, I can't mine there either

[desert laurel]

I can mine iso. Where are you mining?

[neat plover]

trying the 1* zones that are open, they are stuck a 1k resources available

[desert laurel]

Exact name?

[neat plover]

it was marzer

[inner cave]

Ok for eu133

[desert laurel]

I just mined a node in Marzer out, it flipped to 500k as expected.

[neat plover]

ok let me reset the app

ok working now

[inner cave]

Make sure it’s updated as well

[plucky wind]

Are the 3* zones supposed to have 2 sets of buffs 😅

[desert rivet]

@plucky wind shhhh🤫

[lapis star]

I don’t understand this fix. Since the last update it has been gone and just checked in new update and still not there

[naive meteor]

🤣

[hidden peak]

Increased iso nodes without a speed increase 🙁

[celest relic]

They want the 💥💥💥. All your protected cargo officers mean nothing

[drifting bridge]

Very nice of them to launch an iso mining bp event 5 hours after booting us all out of territory. Feels like this game is one big troll

[dense oyster]

Even better put tc bp points in a slb

[elder junco]

@pseudo rune Is it intentional that we won't complete the TC Season Pass milestones with the 12 weekly rewards? At ops 35 I get 21240 per week (2610 - 4350 - 5950 - 8330). That gives me 254,800 total and the top segment takes 280,800. I won't complete the last 3 segments based on this (262,080 - 271,440 - 280,800). Even with the SLB today rewarding 4,680 BP points for 1st I'd still miss those same 3 milestones. It sounds like other ops don't have the same issue as a 52 in my alliance has the right amount to cover all milestones.

[jolly sun]

Apparently you need to win some SLBs

[latent arrow]

Anyone else finished today's battle pass event but not got any rewards from the battle pass? At my level, 41, I'm 0.6K short??

[desert laurel]

Max pts up til today is 235k. If you're there, then you're fine.

[elder junco]

note in my message where I mention those and how it makes no difference. There's only one SLB running. Also other ops have the right amount.

[desert laurel]

Unlocking a node every day is not one of their goals so it shouldn't be yours either.

[jolly sun]

Sarcasm dear boy

Like who thinks tc points is something to try win 😂

[latent arrow]

Thanks for the info, appreciate that. However, I look forward to my rewards every day, so now I'm just... 😞

[neon badge]

The stupid xindi event doesn't score xindi scrap from the hostile chests... good job scopely

[short acorn]

Why is this worthy of an "elite pass" reward? 2 4 hr shields...

[neon badge]

Lol paid track elite reward you gotta be kidding me

[dreamy atlas]

These milestones are hilarious 😂

[weary axle]

"like, why?"

it's hilarious that scopely thought that you could hit your ops level for the xindi grind

[waxen charm]

Are we actually going to be able to complete the TC season pass without winning these SLBs?

[latent arrow]

When the Xindi event requires you to hit 1000 hostiles (because you don't have the rep to get the particle beam to hit higher level xindi than level 34-35), then you NEED to increase the hostile max limit to more than 2K per day!!!

(No, I don't have the rep yet to get the particle beam delay ...)

[proud wing]

You need more than 40k points?

[latent arrow]

10 points per xindi scrap. Need to hit 10K points. That's 1000 xindi at level 34-35

[proud wing]

And 2 days, 2000 hostiles a day, you need to kill 500 a day, what are you doing with the other 1500?

[true ocean]

The Xindi event is an utter joke! Who thought it was a good idea to require hundreds of kills for an event.🤦🏻‍♂️

[latent arrow]

I'm talking about in total. I'm trying to finish the event as soon as possible.

Anyway, my point was... with events like this, the daily hostile limit NEEDS to be higher than 2K per day.

[proud wing]

That does suck, won’t disagree, especially compared to the 20 or so I needed to kill

[proud wing]

Because 500 is more than 2000?

[latent arrow]

No, because it limits what you can grind on all of your other things you need to do. Actians, rep grind, nanos, borg, skulls... etc etc etc

[true ocean]

I’m hitting 42’s, and need about 450 to complete event.

[proud wing]

I did 40s, needed 24k points.

[latent arrow]

Then you must be lucky enough to have the particle beam delay, but if your rep's not high enough yet, there's no point in even trying to hit higher without it.

[proud wing]

That part definitely does make it worse. If the lowbie at least dropped 2 or 3 rather than mostly 1, it would be a little better, but not much

[latent arrow]

It seems lower levels can hit any hostile, but there must be a cut off for that because mine specifies xindi scraps. So I'm stuck. Thanks Scopely.

And yep, hit my 2K limit now from earlier aswell, so no more loot chests, no rep gain, no nothing. Thanks!

This NEEDS to change, like seriously.

[jolly sun]

Up the limit 🙏🏻 = more time ingame and chances for you to gouge our wallets

[dry tinsel]

you cam buy a pack to do your missing researches

[latent arrow]

Is it right that I should be forced to spend money. I know it's what Scopely's aiming at, but that's pretty poor.

I also just can't afford that rn.

[dry tinsel]

reduced my working time in company to 30 hours to can work ingame

[distant dawn]

To be fair, the 2000 limit should be increased OR the wave hostiles should not count for it (preferred, as they do not drop anything)

[latent arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[dry tinsel]

its a clear FOMO strategy. just enjoy the game, not all events can be completed

[latent arrow]

I'll complete it because I'm determined. Done 700 hostiles already lol, but ... with the amount of grinds to do, 2K hostiles is just not enough any more.

[dry tinsel]

killed 4 ships+ 2 xindi traders, event done

confused 😞 where is the Problem

[latent arrow]

You're not listening to other people, who are either not high enough a level, or can't afford to buy £100 buffs. That's why you're not seeing the problem; it's been stated clearly already.

[distant dawn]

No idea, I did my 500k loot run there and can slack for next 3 days, but I do hate wave hostiles messing up my rep grind 😛

[dry tinsel]

you are not listening either. where did i wrote that i bought a pack. Happy with my ships and research as a ftp player on ops 57.
my message is: dont fall for FOMO, or buy a pack if you are not happy

hitting only lvl 50 xindis

so what?

[latent arrow]

Level 41 here. I want to play. I'm happy to hit hostiles. But then they limit my game with 2K limits. Silly. Hurts them too, as people will just stop playing at that point.

[dry tinsel]

by the way, the amount of tritanium is an issue in this game. could tier up my sanctus and quv easily, enough crystal, gas ore, but trit is missing 😓

[latent arrow]

But you could buy it in store 😂

[blazing furnace]

Not really a joke, I finished the event with 4 transports

[smoky mortar]

Use the Franklin/Franklin-A with Jaylah as captain for double loot, and add any other officers with hostile loot bonuses, if you can't hit the higher Xindi. It doesn't take that long. 2 repairs against level 34-35s.

[pine glen]

Guessing some of you are lower level? Ops52 needs 200k pts so those 34/35s aren't gonna cut it! Best loot crew is Ent-E Picard as Cap, Ent-E Data for synergy, then 5. Put The Doctor below.

[buoyant sail]

Must be nice every time I target a ship the game crashes or get the spinning wheel of death and someone else gets it sense the entire server is in the 40-41 systems

[pine glen]

Ah, but the traders are only lvl41 right up as far as the 48 system...

[hexed kettle]

Is there any way to get the S31 Torpedo/Control Seeker probes/Dual photon warheads forbidden tech without spending $?

[cursive verge]

impossible xindi mission, again a good idea to rob som money from player

[ornate geyser]

The number of players who (manually) do 2k kills with any kind of regularity is infinitesimally small.

[latent arrow]

You have stats for that? I’ve hit my 2k limit many times and I know several others in my alliance have also. Secondly, what’s the harm in increasing it anyway, especially when you have events that may require you to hit 1k hostiles? lol

[celest relic]

If we’re hitting 2k+ hostiles, instead of raising the cap, scopely needs to reduce the grinds. They promised this many, many times. We should not be seeing cap lvls hit outside of autogrinding

[latent arrow]

Can’t argue with that either. 100% true. The only exception though is rep grinds. Sometimes a girls just gotta grind that rep…

[celest relic]

My understanding is the hostile cap was to stop bots running amok with loot/rep walls. If humans are hitting those caps, scopely is definitely making this game too grindy

@pseudo rune can I get an amen

[sage mango]

Freebooter currency is most of the initial new ex-borg favors. Why isn't freebooter kills included for the xinidi event, especially for the early levels. HUGE difference of level 35s dropping 1 scrap... vs 10+ of the later levels.

[pine glen]

With loot crew the xindi 41 traders drop 1.5k+

[hazy delta]

Regarding waves. Make the points KILLs not just surviing the wave. Too many join and stand there with their unit in hand waiting on a freebee..

[blazing furnace]

The only time I seen the cap effect me was the summer event. The cap is counter productive on hostile killing event, personally if I'm not getting an reward I'm not doing it

[molten sigil]

It’s very easy to hit 2k if you have a ship grinding in monaveen space, one grinding xp in augment, and one or two factioning

[molten sigil]

Your scrapyard is underused or you’re dumping a lot of lat into ship xp then

[blazing furnace]

Do it all the time and never hit it

[molten sigil]

Then you’re not grinding very hard. It is incredibly easy to hit 2k

[blazing furnace]

The point is not to grind very hard, isn't that what we keep telling scopely 🤔

I finished my xindi event by hitting 4 transports, not smashing ships all day with trit repairs.

[molten sigil]

Everyone has told them that, they haven’t listened

[ornate geyser]

Sure. I can dump all my docks in Augment and hit the limit. It’s very easy to do - nobody suggested otherwise.

What I said was extremely few people actually do that.

None of the normal/required grinds get kills anywhere near 2k/day. Not even close. If people want to spend their days grind rep or whatever with thousands of kills a day, have at it…but that’s a player inventing a grind thing, not a Scopely requiring a grind thing.

[agile steeple]

Kinda not true. I've been grinding xp in aug space almost non stop for months now. Mostly because I can only ever have 1 ship autogrinding in aug space otherwise I'll hit the limit. I get like 5.5 to 6m xp daily. But there's like 60 different specialty g4 ships that require tons of xp

[ornate geyser]

Guess what happens if you let xp accumulate without grinding, through normal game play?

Absolutely nothing bad of consequence.

You’re describing a player-invented grind, not one that the game actually needs or forces a player into.

[bitter snow]

Scrap ships are what get out out there mostly

And I would imagine mostly g3/low g4... By the time it gets to millions per level it seems ridiculous to wait on the few hundred per kill in augment

[true ocean]

Only works at lower levels, I’m Ops 53 and need 400k points. That is a proper grind, even if you can find the transports!

[dreamy patio]

I needed 900k and finished it in 5 transports

sorry, 6

was done by the time i reached the 41s

[bitter snow]

It's tuned to 2x a single pull, so just depends on how well you've cracked the loop

The 56rares do make it a chunk easier than the 53s 😬

[dreamy patio]

might actually start using the voyager for access to more systems, lol

just for the survey hunt

[bitter snow]

Disco prime?

Probably doesn't go far enough

[dreamy patio]

nvm, still need another ops for the 60 system with voyager

can make it to the 59 with sanctus

bit ways to go for the next one

would need 61 for the next tier of the disco prime

[harsh folio]

nah man, you're just meant to use magic to make your days 48hrs long and use the 20 hours you have left after regular grinds and events to slap some bases
I don't know how much trit you need, but my last 200B trit only came from raiding a whale who thinks he can't be hit

[blazing furnace]

I'm level 55 and 4 51 transports finished the event 🤷‍♂️

[true ocean]

251 lvl 42’s did it for me…madness!

Only saw about 3 traders.

[blazing furnace]

They spawn quite frequently

[dry tinsel]

@dreamy patio 2T for ship upgrades

[fickle meadow]

Hey there. If we capture two 2* territories, can we double pull monaveen bps?

[lusty jungle]

Is anyone else seeing system lockouts in tc...but it doesn't really seem like it is enough to lock it out?

[balmy coyote]

So no syndicate event smfh

[desert laurel]

One is scheduled for tomorrow.

[keen mist]

Probably not

[fiery compass]

services with the same name don't stack

[keen mist]

Historically, activating a duplicate service has been a waste of tc materials.

[pearl isle]

Thank you Scopely and @pseudo rune for these huge quantities of quality lag. You havent failed there! 👍

[abstract gate]

Territory reset is stupid and accomplishes nothing.

[ashen wharf]

it was only made so they get another battlepass sale in the month

[livid inlet]

Why PVP in the middle of PVE events. Doing lots of PVP at TC capture. Then change crew or Forget to Change Crew for waves. All the Big Alliances stomp us smaller alliances as they take TC then Drop TC. They should be LOCKED INTO TC for Three Days or a Week before they can drop it

[marble olive]

Same issue here on S10. Largest alliance has joined every TC, bullies everyone, wins the territory, then immediately drops it. No one can get territory and I can't even stay in long enough to get points for the BP. @pseudo rune is anyone at Scopley going to do anything about 1 alliance screwing the whole server?

[keen ledge]

Hi there -- I unfortunately don't have an answer for you, but we have heard about your server's challenges already. We had a pretty extensive report on the behavior this morning. I'm sorry you're all experiencing that.

[marble olive]

They're always bullies. This is going to make it real hard to complete the BP if they continue this type of behavior.

[last sun]

Simple, just don’t buy the elite TC pack. Scopy only hears money.

[ashen wharf]

hard to complete BP still buys BP

[keen mist]

Sounds like a severe case of SDE.

[lyric vale]

Maybe it's me, but does the BP Tracker in the #💫-event-information confuse anyone else??

[proud wing]

Confuse how?

[lyric vale]

I can't figure out how to read it 🤣

trying to figure out what's next on the BP....

[proud wing]

Oh the tracker is done events, not future ones

Todays event won’t be on there until reset

[lyric vale]

i used to think there was some kind of pattern

but I should have realized by now that'd be too convenient for us 🤣

[proud wing]

I can’t say i’ve ever looked for one

[lyric vale]

comparing last months to this month, it doesn't seem to follow a pattern

we get the Battlepass events ahead of time, so I dont understand why they can't publish the actual battlepass points events

[cinder dew]

They never have and they never will. Best to just adapt and do the event when you see it.

[summer harness]

too many non-overlapping events today

[acoustic bronze]

Wow this is a crazy amount needed just for tier 1

[soft tulip]

yeah, moving goal posts ... i guess this is another one of those events that go untouched ... they keep increasing first MS amount

[acoustic bronze]

Normally the first tier is like 40k points

[rotund brook]

They did this because people are saving from battle passes. Don't want to let people get too much free stuff, ya know.

[soft tulip]

its their own fault people are forced to save up for weeks at a time, it is one of the things that i really hate about the game - not able to use what you have when you have it because then you might miss a SMS or SLB, and end up hoarding all these rewards

[rotund brook]

This game isn't designed for you to have fun. It's designed to get you addicted, break your spending threshold, obscure your spending habits, and get you to spend as much as you can before you get too angry and burned out.

[celest relic]

Except now it’s not too much, it’s zero. I used to be able to get the paltry first tier. Now it’s nothing regardless of play style

[upper atlas]

any other servers having exchange armadas respawn issues? s13 is all out?

[soft tulip]

its always like that on Thursdays

[upper atlas]

your name is amazing and frustrating at the same time

[rotund brook]

Games actually designed to have fun rarely make money. It’s all about games designed to be addicting

[cold horizon]

Massive lag again like every thursday, bit this time game is hardly playable.
Wonder if scopely ever is going to do something about this sctructural fail that lasts for months now, if not years.
Plain incompetence, or plain desinterest?

[zealous prawn]

I agree - this was hard enough to even get 1 or 2 milestones... and now it's increased AGAIN?... it never ends

[pearl isle]

Scopely best start sacking ppl fast

[acoustic bronze]

Yes I normally wind up getting the rewards from the bp since the syndicate events aren't on the schedule and then they drop the next day. Even still i normally just hit first tier. Now I will be lucky to hit the first tier

[pale kestrel]

yep, they tripled almost the milestone points for same number of shards of officers in each milestone so even f2p wont' meet the first milestone the 1st day like in the past

[orchid shell]

That would make sense for the first MS and maybe the second, but not the rest. Jan 4th first MS for E-Picard was 47k. Jan 16th first MS for the EMH was 75K. Now it's almost 113k? That is almost a 300% increase. They haven't put 3x the amount of syndicate XP in the BPs and the daily rewards have not increased. The top milestione was 752K for both. Now it is 1.12M They have not added 368K worth of Syndicate XP in the BPs

[pale kestrel]

there's a point to heroic then there's a point to ridiculous unachievable for f2p

give players more reasont to quit, scopely. i dare ya

[fiery fulcrum]

^ 6 Doc shards and 3 BLT too much? 🤣🤣

[acoustic bronze]

Scopley needs to fix this.

[upper atlas]

they'll probably say there are 3 bpasses now with syndicate in each for free track. but didn't do the calculation yet

[inland hamlet]

Apparently they think that incursions is a good metric for server load balancing, yet they don't take into account 60% players don't take part,.

Yet normal events when no pvp occurs is busiest period as everyone takes part or tries.

Plus they've not worked out that between event reset and 4hrs later everyone trying to get things done.
So no additional bandwidth allocated.

Their idea of load balancing is equal across whole 24hrs.

Even electric companies can see peak demands...

[desert laurel]

Have brought it up, and they scale the MS to what is achievable through the current rewards/loops.

[pale kestrel]

not for f2p

[desert laurel]

What sources are you counting?

[inland hamlet]

And yet they can't because they let someone else do it contracted out

[boreal galleon]

in 5minutes, right? 🙂

[desert laurel]

We have 2 days to earn them, and we have more sourcing today than a few months ago.

[inland hamlet]

Yes so at your lvl you should be at agent on new loop that came out.. At max rep pulls you'd not be...

[pale kestrel]

not bought any elite passes for any battle passes, and i am ;v; 30 synd with t8 mantis refinery. and i only made this from collecting from fwp bps and my dailies and mantis/synd pull today yet in previous ones i could achieve day 1 without any battlepass synd xp

[inland hamlet]

Yet Ms 4 is based not on what's possible but 600$

[desert laurel]

Are you collecting S31 xp?

[warped ginkgo]

They have the double syndicate xp pack , so 100$ will get you to 750k

[pale kestrel]

uhm, no

[desert laurel]

Only referencing the early ones right now as that is what used to be f2p, and most of the concern. The event is heroic.

[inland hamlet]

None is s31 you mean exborg right the loop that started this month

[orchid shell]

So you are penalized if you are not doing every BP, not the right level in Section 31 (because waves take a massive amount of time) or collected BP rewards when they are available?

[pale kestrel]

no, this has gone beyond heroic according to historical runs of heroic synd events

[inland hamlet]

Or you comparing to other syndicate event which occurred this month...

[desert laurel]

Agent is f2p today, it would be available for you if you worked on that loop.

[pale kestrel]

thats's still no excuse to triple the milestones for sme number of shards

[warped ginkgo]

Are milestones the same for every ops?

[inland hamlet]

Other syndicate event this month had lower milestones so why should this 1 be higher

[inland hamlet]

Agent is impossible in xindi loop ftp

[desert laurel]

I'm not defending it, I'm explaining how it was designed. Show me that f2p can't reach and I'll escalate.

[pale kestrel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/642769739965530152/1200127971407691968/image.png?ex=65c50d45&is=65b29845&hm=8e436283f122d256b804ce2f944928bdc50820c95eb91942255aee2119908887& from september milestones

same number of shards per milestone and yet almost triple the cost

[inland hamlet]

T10 mantis syndicate lvl 29, get 34.5k per day, 1st milestone over 112k

[warped ginkgo]

As a non f2p player in ops 34, I cannot reach it with current methods..

[orchid shell]

Pulling a single chest daily would not have opened agent in Section 31. Using the stretch goal as a metric is not logical.

[desert laurel]

If you aren't keeping current to what is available, then it would be impossible without spend.

[pale kestrel]

what a farce

[inland hamlet]

No what we saying is with 100% engagement it's still not possible unless you save every ms, from both wave defence and normal bp

And this is higher than milestones for the earlier syndicate event held not 2 weeks ago

[pale kestrel]

it's pure simple greed is what it is. punish the players for thinking ahead of scopely

[inland hamlet]

So please elaborate what new loop rewarding syndicate has been added in last 2 weeks.

Cos the alb for armada hunt ends at same time as syndicate event so that won't add

[serene forum]

the pay up loop.

[zenith vault]

What is the point of having events that are pay to win only? Just make the officer shards part of the pack on offer then.

[inland hamlet]

You saying we should've not collect event rewards from any sms that finished in last week?

[serene forum]

yep

it's our fault.

it's always our fault that we dont know how to play the game

[pale kestrel]

our fault too that wave defesne stayed the same in the lvl 40 systems with the wave strengths and level 30s and 40s joining in with the lag and bugs still in the wave defenses. yet no changes or improvements made to a mechanic from the previous run they knew was comign back up

[inland hamlet]

Instead of rewarding players who engage in new loops they now made it even if you are agent you would fall 50 syndicate xp short

Of 1st milestone.

So please elaborate how a non heroic sms Ms 4 is possible. With current loops

It's a 4 day milestone in a 2 day event

[desert laurel]

Event rewards decay after a day iirc. The only one you could have saved was the Xindi event yesterday with some deliberate delay of collecting rewards.

The event is heroic, and you will not be finishing it without paying in some way. Historically, the first MS was f2p, and there is sourcing today that was not available 2 weeks ago.

[inland hamlet]

3x 34.5k =103k pts.. 1st milestone set 115k is might be 112.5k

[pale kestrel]

but why would we even expect scopely to listen to us anyway, we've been screaming for months on end of increasing spawn rates for the outlaw thursday armada events.

[inland hamlet]

So max pulls in 2d event is 3 pulls.

Yet in September 118k would of been ms3

Since September only 1 loop pays syndicate xp

[serene forum]

cand1e you are assuming that every palyer has the mantis at the same level and can get the syndi xp at higher levels

[grand eagle]

I am 100% f2p and the only way to be agent TODAY is to do double pulls. Not a realistic benchmark for a majority of players

[heady mica]

Why they keep moving the syndicate event level bar higher#/harder. Wut jerks

[inland hamlet]

Yes ofc we should all have a maxed g4 epic

[desert laurel]

I'm not assuming that at all. Syndicate sourcing is from bp too, and in the last two weeks we've unlocked a MS in the bp and in the WDbp. That covers the difference between this month's earlier event and today's.

[serene forum]

that would be nice if people hadn't cashed the rewards yet.

[desert laurel]

You should not have cashed these in for a non-syndicate reason.

[inland hamlet]

Umm that was covered in last syndicate event so what you are saying is 2 syndicate events a month but you only get to participate in 1 npw

[serene forum]

it's automatic or don't you know that?

[pale kestrel]

even if i were agent in s31, (f2p) having not collected any synd xp from bps since last run of synd event, 3000x5 points from s31 still would leave me short 20k of milestone 1 today

[inland hamlet]

And you need to save a month's rewards to even be able to attain ms1

[desert laurel]

It's not automatic.

[woeful crystal]

Armada sms milestines are ridiculously high. Would take $99 pack to finish or save epic directives for over a month. Its not heroic. So what gives?

[pale kestrel]

no tbut it is if you even click on one of those no matter whre it's located at

[serene forum]

click on one and see if you dont get all of them

[inland hamlet]

8x rares you get 6 ftp per month no armada events last month

[desert laurel]

Why would I claim it before a syndicate event though? there's advantage to hoarding, and there's advantage to hoarding reward claims.

[warped ginkgo]

You can't say "don't claim syndicate from bp" when claiming ANYTHING from either track triggers everything on that track to claim.. should prob fix that first 😄 maybe a claim all button?

[inland hamlet]

So you didn't do syndicate event 1

[desert laurel]

I did not, I don't need the rewards.

[serene forum]

finally someone understood me.

[desert laurel]

Claiming the bp rewards wouldn't have affected this run though, the MS were only recently unlocked.

[inland hamlet]

The ms from this run are higher than 1st run

All we asking for is same as last 1 this month

[desert laurel]

They are, and there is over 10k syndicate xp in the bp available today vs then.

[pale kestrel]

at 5 points

do the math

[desert laurel]

50k pts will cover the spread from then vs today.

[inland hamlet]

Elite track yep very ftp forget your definition of ftp is buying all elite track rewards

[desert laurel]

I've not counted elite, only free pass sides.

F2p is free.

[inland hamlet]

You've counted at your ops lvl

[desert laurel]

What are the rewards for your ops?

[inland hamlet]

For whole month

[woeful crystal]

@desert laurel ARMADA event scoring fix?

[desert laurel]

What's wrong with it?

[inland hamlet]

Last synd event unlocked ms 1 with 100% participation no BP rewards.
Keep forgetting they assume people save....

[soft tulip]

you only need to be able to start 8 RARE armadas, its not like impossible .. just assumes you HOARDED all those directives

[boreal galleon]

is it? doesnt say heroic in my client

[desert laurel]

Tag fell off, it might come back, but you should consider all the syndicate xp events to be heroic.

[inland hamlet]

And yet other events were based on saving like trial bells so you couldn't complete them if you saved your xp

[serene forum]

there is no point in continue with this talk about syndi, you are right cand1e, everyone else is wrong.

[woeful crystal]

IT DOESN'T SAY HEROIC

[inland hamlet]

Keep forgetting the BP is there to encourage you not to participate in events

They are not rewards for participation if they are a requirement to participate

[ashen wharf]

dunno why yall are even speaking on it everything will be heroic

[woeful crystal]

The crap bp already has several paid only events this absurdity to add another towards the end of the bp

[pale kestrel]

including sopely's wallet

[soft tulip]

whale-roic

[pale kestrel]

that's all they truly care about anymore

[ashen wharf]

gotta downsize this year they got $1,5 million from 3 players already at level 70

[desert laurel]

Are you talking about the armada event still?

[inland hamlet]

Armada hunt 6x rares sourced ftp so top milestone requires 8 so your BP rewards to just particupate

[serene forum]

syndi event

[warped ginkgo]

Anybody that is higher ops (50+) can you share your syndicate event ?

[desert laurel]

56

[warped ginkgo]

So the MS are the same for you and me (34) yet you have more sourcing of it ? How does that make sense..

[grand eagle]

If saved ALL of the Syn xp from the events, that would give me 13530 at ops 53. I can pull 4800 a day which leaves me 4230 short

[warped ginkgo]

I think the problem is the lack of breaking the MS down by ops ranges.

[serene forum]

ops 53

[ripe jungle]

I got 37.5k from daily pulls. Times 3x will leave me just short of milestone one 😅

[warped ginkgo]

Yeah having the same MS across the board is insane IMO

[ripe jungle]

Need to save up for an s31 pull

[patent flume]

Ops based would be disadvantages, for example I am ops 14 with syn lvl 20

[serene forum]

damm

[warped ginkgo]

How would that be a disadvantage ? It's an SMS not an SlB??

[narrow violet]

M1 is still achievable F2P, my daily is XP is 9.4K, as event is 2 days possible to get 3 days worth of pulls if timed correctly. so 9.4K x3 days x5 Points = 141K points 🙂

*I am ops 44 with syn lvl 29, and Mantis T9

[hot palm]

S31 xp pull is seriously expensive to do when the rest is so credit hungry too so making it mandatory seems extreme

[patent flume]

Previous different syn events have based on your syn lvl. This kinda syn event is based on how deep your pocket is or how well you have upgraded mantis

[warped ginkgo]

You guys allowing it will soon realize how slippery the slope is .. next event first milestone will be 1 million because "an ops 70 can achieve it f2p" 🤦‍♂️

[narrow violet]

🤔 in english please?

Regardless of how much they change the 1st Milestone, it has always been possible F2P, considering you keep up with the current stuff in game... I.E high mantis tier etc, completing S31 stuff to unlock syn xp redeems etc and doing the clock to get 3 days worth on a 2 day event. (Plus not collecting BP stuff etc)

[warped ginkgo]

For your ops level yes. Go ahead and have that ops 14 guy do 3 pulls on mantis, cmon big shot show me

[soft tulip]

imagine people having a life and work and not tuning their life around a game

[pale kestrel]

the game overall has strayed away from it's original fun and design into more of how can we get the players at a disadvantage on everything to increase our income even more

[narrow violet]

at ops 14 those officers are generally useless to you so not worth it

[soft tulip]

that does not mean those officers should be unatainable to him

[warped ginkgo]

Yup keep moving the goalposts. You said it should be achievable with mantis pulls. How is anybody under ops 33 gonna do said pulls ? Swear uou are dense

[narrow violet]

Its called statistics, your comment can be applied to your reply to my comment 😄

[warped ginkgo]

When statistics are used against you , you simply say "oh but they don't need it so it's okay"

[pale kestrel]

scopely still so far behind with officer sourcing, per usual, as well as fixing previous discovered bugs and issues with game mechanics and events yet still wants to take advantage

[narrow violet]

their not. Seriously why so much negativity, these events are Heroic

[pale kestrel]

such a wonderful step towars quality over quantity statement this years. really drives our confidence in that statement

[warped ginkgo]

There you go, just say that. Don't spew some crap about "it's achievable f2p" when that's clearly not the case for everyone. And I'm not talking the whole event, just the first MS.

[pale kestrel]

this one has gone beyond the typical heroic

[narrow violet]

For the record i can acheive M1 F2P... am i going to try to push it hell no 😄 its a stupid event and always will be. Not missing out on anything

[narrow violet]

No words, just please stop with the negativity. My comment "acheiveable F2P" does not mean every ops lvl can do it. It just means thats its possible F2P

[warped ginkgo]

Lol I wonder if you people read what you type. You were doing all that talking just to end up agreeing with me 😄 kudos

[desert laurel]

Looks achievable post-mantis. Not sure if it is pre. Is that the concern though?

[ripe jungle]

Needs a tiered up mantis as well

[warped ginkgo]

T9 mantis *

[ripe jungle]

Even t10 mantis pulls alone won’t finish it

Also need either bp rewards or s31 pulls

[desert laurel]

Barely any diff in tiering mantis that's worth it. They're not counting the bp rewards, I am.

[patent flume]

It actually sounds like your having ago at him, and complaining because he offered a solution everyone here has asked for. 🤔

Plus saying you people is kinda racist

😔

[soft tulip]

I think the general concern is more on the lines of them moving MSs every event or so... It happened with Syndicate, happened with recruit SMSs and probably others that went unnoticed

[desert laurel]

This shows how little diff it makes through tiers.

[desert laurel]

I've brought up that concern, and the answer was that it's balanced to what is available the day the event runs. Changing the size of the first MS doesn't matter if the sourcing adequately compensates.

[soft tulip]

that would have still required people to not claim the rewards from yesterday or the day before, no ?

[serene forum]

yes

[soft tulip]

those that did claim them each day would be SOL

[desert laurel]

Yes, claiming bp rewards every day is a strategically weak move.

If you do that, then to compensate, you'd probably need a really big mantis.

[soft tulip]

but in the past this was not an issue, you would still be able to get 1st MS on just the 2 days 3 pulls strategy, which is no longer the case

[desert laurel]

If it's possible at all still.

[serene forum]

or give the choice to claim the ones we want once they are unlocked.

and leave the others to when we need to claim them.

[mighty lynx]

@pseudo rune the point of ex Borg was to lower grind so dailies could be done quickly but can you explain how the hell running so many grinding and armada events at the same time is at all helpful some of us have families and it is just becoming even more time consuming like why do you have grinding and armada then throw in eclipse grinding and armada at the same time utter madness

[serene forum]

because they dont care about your family, only your wallet

[mighty lynx]

Plus that is not even with grinding for voyager mantis and so on ships daily grinds it is just not worth the time anymore might just start playing the Xbox again 🤣

[patent flume]

No game developer does it's a game. Your a customer not their employee 👀

[warped ginkgo]

^Then they got these shills to try and convince you it's good

[serene forum]

where i come from the customer is always right.

soo if we are the customer that means we are right.

[mighty lynx]

Well I have stopped spending and do dailies and bare minimum the grind is just not worth the rewards (what rewards) 🤣

[patent flume]

It's general business 101, small company super friendly they care bout you they love you! You put food on their tables by buying their merchandise.... When company gets bigger it's only bout the dollar, customer care goes out the window. 🤣

[mighty lynx]

Only people that seem to get rewards and unlock ships are the players using bots hitting traders 24/7

[patent flume]

They do that then their getting no rewards as there is a hostile limit

[ornate geyser]

You’re only the customer if you’re spending enough money to matter as a customer. Which is…fair.

[ripe jungle]

I’m strategically weak 👀

[mighty lynx]

They can still hit 1000 per day and that is a lot more bp drops than most people plus the bots mine for them 24/7 also

[inland hamlet]

Imagine that you need to claim rewards to do events so you can claim the rewards to do the event, but you can't claim the rewards to do the event until you've done the event?

[mighty lynx]

Is that like being a level 40 goin to level 40 X's system to smash your ships against them doing no damage trying to get rewards that you can never get so you can unlock research level to do a tiny bit more damage so when you do get close to killing one some bigger player kills it as you took so long it is so rewarding for the little players but you can go to the level 34 systems and grind for the next 3 days to get enough ships parts to clear 1 tier of the event rewards with only 3 more tiers to go with 4 hours left on the clock so rewarding 🤣🙈

☝️and I am not talking about my own account someone in my alliance is having this problem

[neat musk]

players are leaving at an alarming rate all give the same reasons the game constantly crashes making it unplayable and every arc brings more grind more crashes waves were broken from the start and still are

[ornate geyser]

James Joyce called…he wants his copy of Ulysses back…

[ashen wharf]

good

better communities out there leave the grifters

[shrewd knot]

@pseudo rune syndicate got more quantity and less quality this arc?

[proud wing]

Quality costs more, that’s all.

[little flint]

I was going to buy the territory battle pass and then the syndicate event today convinced me to skip it. No way I'm going to buy that battle pass now. I got the wave one which had a nice amount of syndicate. But then the massive increase in the syndicate milestones. What a joke.

[calm belfry]

Have we already collectively complained about the 1.12M milestone for Syndicate Advancement (Heroic)? lol

[pale kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/deaf-ears-chevulu-text-chevudu-gif-12484127183884264518

it's why you can't see any CMs online

[pale kestrel]

the new CM sop, go invisible mode or don't even log onto discord to relay to the community (which weirdly is literally in the title)

[elder gyro]

yo this is bogus

[ornate geyser]

It’s not the first raise…this is deliberate…they’re getting exactly what they want, they know what they’re doing.

[silver stump]

Wait…what? EARNING?!

[primal monolith]

Really enjoying the wave events. You know the ones with all the lag and losing connection in game. Stellar scopely 👍🏽

[proven pendant]

Yea "earn" as in get a job "earn" money to spend buying Syn packs from the store

[proud wing]

It doesn’t just appear, you do have to do things to earn it, like daily tasks, being nice to Ghrush, farming actians

[rich oracle]

even doing 3 times double pull at the mantis ref (T7) , the daily synd xp and baj fav daily box, I get not even close to get the first milestone at ops 44 ... (and the syndicate reward from territory battle pass)

[stone elbow]

@pseudo rune Any chance the SLBs are going to be fixed anytime soon? Kind of impossible for an OPS 55 to compete against an OPS 66 in any of them which makes me not want to participate

[dull belfry]

syndicate sms tiers are jacked up again.

(talking about you first tier. broke)

[paper venture]

Anyone know what the payout are if you get a rare ticket?

[proud wing]

I got lucky and got enough from the elite bp rewards, in addition to those other things, although only 2 double mantis pulls so far, but already hit 1st milestone

[ornate geyser]

It’s by design. Nothing we can do about it.

[jolly sun]

Constantly getting only rewards for wave nine and not the full ten, getting a joke

[celest relic]

Must be missing the cloaked survey. Does 55B damage to the station. It spawns randomly when Scopley does a whoopsie. Canon

[stone elbow]

Keep track of your credits. Very likely you are getting both wave 9 and 10 rewards despite what it is visually showing you.

[cold crest]

wave defence is only for powerful ships

[woeful prairie]

and for fun

[woven zenith]

4 star part drops in waves plz this is crap

[lost tulip]

Just using examples last year and this year syndicated tier 1 amount needed. They did up the amount needed so you have to spend money to get it.

[pallid charm]

not last year.

Last month.......

[clever wasp]

They've also added more syn xp in the game. Milestones went up yes, but so did syn xp sourcing 🤷🏾‍♂️

[last sun]

Not in the amount that they raised it. THAT is the point. We didn’t gain a darn thing. In FACT, leveling up in this game does you diddly squat except make your grind harder, and take more time. Folks. Stay at 49, don’t ever go to 50+. Game becomes pointless (well, more pointless) after that. Unless you spend stupid amounts of money. And if you have that kinda money, I would hope to god there is something better to spend it on. 🙄

[stable crow]

only for those who have been able to get max S31 rep every day since wave defences were added.

[pallid charm]

only 2240 creds for syndi xp, its really easy to get xp, prime particles and s31 transmitters every day.

[ornate geyser]

No, it’s really not. It’s a grind fest or a ton of screen time.

[pallid charm]

8-10 mins for a wave for 3900k creds, thats enough for 2 days of the mimum

[stable crow]

sure, at ops59.
below ops50 and without maxed primes and FT you can't get past wave 6, and end up getting only 900 credits per wave defence.

[pallid charm]

you need a good team/alliance, I always make sure I get 3 x lower lvl players in my team and we call get 10/10 waves

[stable crow]

again, says the ops59.
you try doing these wave defences if the highest ops player available to team up with is 46.

not every server has a whole bunch of ops59 players that can carry the hundreds of ops 40-50 players.
on the server i'm on there's 2 people over 60, 3rd highest is ops56.
those 3 cannot carry every single other player in the server through wave defences.

[ornate geyser]

Scopely knows this. It’s the way it is by design.

[celest relic]

Anyone know the brackets for the xslb? Wasn’t on stfc.space and scopely keeps changing them. I don’t wanna commit til I know

[ripe jungle]

Yeah I’ve dropped down to just pulling the building mats and dolamide. Some days can’t even get that. And I’m ops 49, but it’s a real pain to get a good group organized.

[balmy verge]

Anyone else getting this reward notification constantly despite finishing the event?

Would be nice if it affected my rewards balance but it doesn’t. Otherwise I would have moved to new Syndicate level already.

[hallow hollow]

I was getting it yesterday I think it was and I just restarted and repair and it stopped....

[barren shale]

I have to thank Scopely. No, seriously. By removing the recruit spend slb and making spending mats so worthless there is now no reason to buy the Battlepass monthly. I've got an extra 20 bucks monthly and 20 bucks is 20 bucks.

[vast python]

Any one know when incursion will be happening?

[next veldt]

How do they expect anyone to score in Hostile Loot if alread hit hostile limit when woke this morning what a JOKE

I'd like a warning I hit Hostile limit instead of wasting Resources

[desert laurel]

What's wrong with the XSLB?

[barren shale]

The Recruit Tucker SLB is nonexistent and the value of spending mats on the SMS is so low they're practically worthless. The officer recruit spend events are meaningless. No need to build up for the next month's event.

[balmy verge]

Closed, reopened app & no change. Clearing cache & hopefully it goes away. Thanks for prompting idea to do that.

And just got the award again. 🤪🤦🏻‍♂️

[hallow hollow]

Did you do the repair for the app?

[desert laurel]

No Tucker, sure, but doesn't ePic and eRiker serve the same purpose of providing double dip-value for your mat spend?

[barren shale]

I have them, promoted them. New officers no longer appear to be something to strive for. We're just going to get options for the same old officers. If there was a bug fix arc to stop the game crashing so much and no officers were available, that would be okay. Releasing new officers with no reasonable path to try recruiting just removes the value in trying to win events.

[balmy verge]

Repair? 🤨

If you mean clear local cache, yes.

[ornate geyser]

It’s not a double dip value when they cut the value of 4* mats in half last arc…

[naive meteor]

Worst group of Spend event's EVER

[ornate geyser]

Just wait….we’ll get Xindi armadas that need a new ship and let you send 5 ships…then they release two more sets of armada crew Pokémon…

[naive meteor]

Plus wasn't there supposed to be a Compensation chest??

[steady hedge]

Plus Armadas are scoring so much less for the slb now

[ocean frigate]

pretty sure the first tier for the syndicate sms were raised because of the additional xp sourcing that was avaliable

s31 store, xindi hostile sms, and the wave+regular battlepass

lot of income there as compared to normal

normally its just mantis+battlepass

[random fox]

Infinite Incursion date please anyone?👀

[rotund grotto]

Wondering same thing. Scopely going to stop announcing when the 24 hour Incursion will be?

[ornate geyser]

That would require a greater quantity of communication…and 2024 is all about quality, since silence is golden…

[clever wasp]

@desert laurel 🥃🥃. Thankyou for the "job" you do. Volunteers like you are appreciated. You all get crapped on enough. Just wanted to say thanks. 👍🏽

[languid nova]

i planned my action by checking event news.. got #1 in heavy hitter and now curr at #1 in borg cube slb 😁. yesterday i didnt do autogrind

[vale wadi]

Do jellyfish events happen anymore?

Ones that help you unlock it, not just level it up

[dreamy patio]

Usually near the end of the month

Assuming your server fits the criteria for it

[vale wadi]

It’s new 702

[dreamy patio]

Probably won't see it for a while then

[vale wadi]

What’s the criteria?

[dreamy patio]

They won't say.

[vale wadi]

Lame

[dreamy patio]

It was like 2 runs of the event on 92 after unlocking g4 that we actually saw the event

At that point only like one person had a jellyfish on the server.

[warped walrus]

For starters there is no xslb for g5 players

[stray lily]

looking for an alternative crew against xindi, I use Pike, cath and tlaan.

[dreamy patio]

ent e picard, ent e data, ent e deanna/5

[cunning radish]

i use 5, ent data, tlaan

dont have ent e pic

[glacial token]

Did they announce when incursions are on ?

[dreamy patio]

no

They'll wait until the last minute again, like usual

[sinful sluice]

the same with below deck doctor to boot...

[heady mica]

When is incursions yo?

[scarlet moss]

Will there be a fleet commander SLB this month?

[zenith geode]

Server matchups?

[celest relic]

Server matchup should be your xslb matchup. Don’t know date yet.

[zenith geode]

Thanks. Never thought of that. Don't usually look at that

[warped ginkgo]

I just upgraded my command center so you can bet on it 😆

[light elm]

I use Ent E Picard, Ent E Data, and Janeway

[stray lily]

Thanks, I'll try that

[cold coral]

Can we have some comms for incursions seeing as we have prep right now?

[leaden gale]

Maybe Monday if lucky

[keen mist]

Probably Friday

[celest relic]

Thursday at 5:01pm pst

Is when they’ll post the time

[inland hamlet]

Sometime between Tuesday and a week Tuesday when next arc starts

[torpid otter]

When is Inclusions?

[steel blaze]

I’d wager Friday noon eastern time.

[quartz ore]

yeah, it's a little weird that they haven't put out an official announcement about incursions yet.

[lapis star]

What is the site that has the stats across all stfc?

[fiery compass]

stfc.wtf is the commonly referenced unofficial site that i think you're asking about

[lapis star]

Thank you

[craggy musk]

whats the point of these kind of XSLB hmm? how do they expect for ppl in 50+ to compete against 60+? this is completely greedy stance by scopley team and they have promised the day they implemented g6 that they will add g6 brackets , which ofc they didnt .

[formal sapphire]

When will the next Battle Pass start? 🤔 I usually check https://stfc-gameplay.omnizen.xyz/events for upcoming events but nothing about it is listed, only Latinum Rush & Ticketed Events for Jan 30.

Thinking of levelling up & would like to do it before the new pass starts… can’t find any info. Please help. Thanks! 😊🖖

[craggy musk]

lat rush is always on mondays ...

[inner cave]

From what I heard from content creators is that there aren’t enough g6 players to do this yet.

[proud wing]

This was my assumption too, and i assume because they don’t want to just hand out rewards. Logical solution is to stick G6 in their own bracket with trash rewards. Problem solved.

[woeful vortex]

Slb placing is not relevent to me. Something i can ignore. Why try and compete with the bjg spenders.

[dreamy patio]

which is bs. Either they give them their own bracket and they're competing with their peers or if by themselves, barely trying and still scoring wins. Or putting them with people well under their league, and still barely trying and winning. Only one will push for people to spend more, so that's what they're going with.

[unreal vortex]

The top 3 our slb are over 100 mill points and the lower 60’s did two base upgrades and are in the top 10 😂

[bitter snow]

But then they have the same issue, their biggest spenders not wanting to spend (as opposed to not needing to) 😬

[jolly sun]

Who started this rumour about G6 getting a new auction bracket 😆

If by now you think Scopely will give us an easy ride, ya dreaming

[proud wing]

Then have only 1st place get any rewards

[desert laurel]

They're testing the Heroic SMS plan still to address the problem.

[dreamy patio]

Wouldn't be as much of a problem if they didn't have such a giant point difference between g5 and g6

when you can pop one platform or gun upgrade and outscore every single person on your board below 60, that's just dumb

[jolly sun]

I agree, but we need a better argument then I want a easier win bud

Bubba had a good point about people wanting to compete more in a G5 only bracket.

We need more arguments like this 😆

[mossy vector]

Anyone know when incursions start?

[stray lily]

With the current server problems, I hope there won't be an incursion

[languid nova]

i use 2 ships. voyager: ent picard, ent data, kuron. Talios: 5/11, snw una, hugh. Talios job is to respawn L35s by killing L34s

[craggy musk]

on which dedicated testing servers are they doing that and with what ammount of dedicated server testers ? 😛

[undone garnet]

Since the Borg made appearances on Star Trek: Enterprise, are we going to get MegaCube events during this arc?

[ornate geyser]

Bubba is self-serving…

Anyway…as a low 50s I want the 60+ to stay in the same bracket. It’s better for me this way, than it is being in a bracket with only-50s.

[rain root]

Do the rare tickets carry over? Like if we don't use them for this go around

[karmic minnow]

advanced developement slb gives galatic recruit tokens but scopley has removed the exchange from the recruit section

[desert laurel]

You want the bracket to have G5 + G6 rather than just G5?

[desert laurel]

Yes, you can hoard them for better officers.

[rain root]

Oh thank God lol thank you 🤘

[rigid shore]

I made the mistake of using my ticket on an event with 5mins to go. I don't know why I thought that was a good idea

Even worse the 'new player reward' chest bug made me blind to the option to take a ticket so I've been missing out on those events for about a week

[celest relic]

Back with 3 day timer

[karmic minnow]

ty

[steady hedge]

They are probably testing a last minute communication to see how that will go. That or they just Scopely'ed it.

[random sparrow]

been stuck in a wave defense stuck at wave 1 for over 24 hours and no resolution now. opened a ticket to only have the tokens reimbursed but ships stuck in the malfunctioning event. I've contacted support again and all I've gotten is radio-silence. Anyone have another suggestion?

[versed stirrup]

any event calendar announced yet between the arcs?

[severe bridge]

@pseudo rune Why doesn't this pop up treasury have officers in it? They always have before

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-alex-surprise-lion-smiling-gif-22612181

also it's missing gas

[hot forum]

Because we can't have nice things.

[gritty sentinel]

because they want idiots to keep paying $$$ for things.

[wild pelican]

This treasury event blows chunks, shove it

[dense jackal]

Is the treasury event an accident? Or are your monthly financials a bit off and you’re looking for a few extra bucks?

[wary salmon]

My treasury chest contains 14 million steel and 2 billion trit? Looks broken to me

[spring imp]

No Officers, no deal. This sucks.

[hearty cairn]

Unless the other rewards make up for the lack of officers...

[red scarab]

Because the 2000 rare 5* ship parts are more valuable

[dreamy patio]

🤣

[sinful dock]

they dont

[obsidian spade]

No officers im not buying that pack 100 dollars my wife can spend at starbucks

[hearty cairn]

I know.

[stable crow]

no officers, no gas, nothing i can use.

[jolly sun]

Explorer parts and no gas, particularly handy I thought

[boreal galleon]

quality over quantity!

[ashen spoke]

Nothing is more important than officers in this game

[stable crow]

just checked, my only ship that can use these resources... and the vault gives only half the ship parts needed for 1 single component.

[junior crescent]

mine has gas, but that doesn't change the fact that it's just a cash grab attempt

[weary flint]

😄 😄 😄 ...that $99 lockbox content! 😄 😄 😄

[heady mica]

Worse treasury evar?

[craggy musk]

they added hidden reward called g6 brackets finnaly..... wait ... nope

[nova oar]

Incursion date?

[lofty arrow]

No officers in Treasury and the TCBP does not have any Tech this month either. Seems they are reducing what we pay for some reason. I guess I am not buying the treasury this month either, their loss.

[wicked fog]

No option 2 battle pass unlock for Wave Defense?!? Only seeing the $100 pack

[lofty arrow]

Actually, this looks like a ship pack and not at all what the treasury normally is. No gas in mine either.

[warped ginkgo]

Am I tripping in thinking the last treasury was like 2 weeks ago?

[lofty arrow]

You are tripping, lol

[fiery compass]

the 2nd thursday of a battlepass is normally when they are

[fiery compass]

g4+ treasuries are often ship packs

[lofty arrow]

Well my G4 treasuries have not been ship packs in the past, Someone made a mistake. Normally the treasury is the second week but not this BP, this one is late and the rewards are wrong.

[fiery compass]

it's not late; there was one this month already that had the more normal pack. they're running an off schedule one with more ship parts and no officers this time as an experiment.

[lofty arrow]

Interesting, trying to fool people with a ship pack and call it a treasury. Probably thought we would not notice I guess. Well if your aim was to make people mad it seems you have succeeded. I also find it interesting that you state G4 treasury’s are often ship packs when obviously they are not. Every one I have got in the past were not a ship pack. Oh well, no one I know is buying this one. GC and AC chats have blown up over this little experiment of yours.

[fiery compass]

i don't work at scopely.
It's true that not all of the treasuries are ship packs, but a number of them are. November was extremely notable on this front.

[lofty arrow]

Well I have never had a treasury without the officers. Sounds like you should be working for them, lol

Back to farming ship,parts

[tribal coral]

The Treasury this month is 100% aimed at G6 players. So as usual the Whales get the benefits and everyone else is told to go sit on their thumb and spin

[rough linden]

When is incursions?

[lofty arrow]

Probably this Friday would be my guess

[dreamy patio]

experiment failed

[warped ginkgo]

We would hope 😆 but knowing this community, they probably still sold 100+

[old tartan]

Pull your finger out of your azz and realize it’s just another money grab experiment

[winged cove]

What brings you to that conclusion? I am curious what you see. I am startled by the lack of officer shards and survey parts.

[tribal coral]

Its an added extra downweek Treasury intended for 40+ but the people it really benefits are the g5 and G6 people especially G6 who are sorely lacking parts atm

As Rev put it. Sales numbers for this arc probably arent as good as hoped so experiment time to try and find a way to get the whales to spend more

[raw owl]

Im not sure i care about 20 shards of an officer if it doesnt get me an unlock/tier, especially with most sourcing being awful. With that said, I was hoping for Picard shards.

[ashen wharf]

good hope they get less payers

[desert laurel]

The main draw for a lot of players are the officer shards. G3 players will find extremely low value in the parts available since they can already buy their parts with lat. G4 and 5 players would probably get more value out of pushing the Prime Parts Efficiency line higher. G6 should have that already capped, and have a parts need.

They'll probably sell a lot of them to the whales. Some G4/G5 might pull it as well, but it doesn't seem interesting the lower you go.

[tawny jungle]

No news on upcoming events? The calendar released only goes to jan28. So these last 2 days we've been in the dark

[steady scaffold]

Reward box ready go go go... don't know what I will upgrade as first with that. It is helpful for 57 lvl

[rare verge]

Wow Scopely thank you that is a fantastic gift 🫤😂😂

Quality my @rse

[karmic breach]

It gets you going to scrap a 2g, ready to make your way up the line sham 🤣

[rare verge]

Lol Mers yeah mate just what I needed 🤣🤣🤣

[karmic breach]

Hey now you don't need to buy that big pack and can put that money towards upgrading the hot tub

[rare verge]

They would get less flak if they just didn’t bother and let’s face it they might as well not

The hot tub is just fine as it is thanks 😎😎

[bleak gorge]

Compensation? Doesn‘t get any more rediculous than this… only stopping any spending real money once and for all may help them understand…

[nocturne cave]

doesnt really matter if they are in their own bracket by themselves or with two or three other g6 players.. they are on top regardless.

[heady mica]

Event calendar yo?

[pearl isle]

Thats more an insult to players

[random sparrow]

It's coming up on 48hours and my ships are still stuck in a wave defense with 3 other members. It started wave 1 and no reds materialized. Scopely has only refunded the tokens to start however they repeatedly (twice now) stated:

"I'm sorry to hear that your ships remain stuck. I've checked with the Team and this is still being looked into. We ask for your extended patience. I'll leave this ticket open for you, making it easier for us to reach out with any updates that may arise. Should you need any assistance in the meantime, please feel free to let us know."

I've cleared localization as well as run repair on multiple versions and platforms (android phone, PC, IPAD) at least a dozen times now. Ships are still stuck. Frustrating and Annoying isn't the word the encompasses how I feel right now however I don't want to be crass or crude.

Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks in advanced y'all.

[cobalt dew]

For an ops 57? Holy hell that is such a slap in the face

[desert laurel]

If it gets to that point, a server hop during incursions can repair a lot of stuck ships. Have you tried to move the station? shouldn't be possible, but worth testing.

Also, please don't cross post.

[proper meteor]

Did the compensation chest not solve all your problems 🤣

[hexed lark]

So, I believe a new compensation chest has been released, but I opened the first one and do not see the new one.

[desert laurel]

Have you restarted your game?

[hexed lark]

Cleared localisation and that worked 🙂

[whole sequoia]

good lord, military supremacy event is back?

[pearl light]

Why I have got military supremacy, for the first time ever!, asking me to kill lvl 61+ hostiles?!?!

BTW I'm only ops 59 and have no lvl 61+ to kill

[mental tulip]

Why am I getting this as a 59?

[zinc wind]

https://tenor.com/view/money-rain-money-cash-sunglasses-smile-gif-9305095834548664790

[mental tulip]

When will you guys realize G5 isn’t G6?

Get us out of that bracket. It’s idiotic and I’m not moving into a broken economy.

[spark barn]

Unless this event changes very soon, I think I'm officially done with this game. The complete lack of thought towards people that have spent thousands of dollars playing this game is unreal. Please tell me as a lvl 58 where I'm supposed to kill a lvl 61+ hostile. I'm not going to spend $300+ dollars to get another 56 ship for the sake of this event.

[heady mica]

I don’t have military supremacy event? Should I?

[stone grail]

No one knows, literally

[gusty wraith]

@pseudo rune don’t have military supremacy event…

[inner cave]

😂😂😂😂 haven’t seen military supremacy in ages. Met the criteria in my 30’s alot but never in my 40’s

[spark barn]

Thank you, missed the announcement. 500 60s is still rough, but at least not impossible.

[heady mica]

They just randomly decide to leave players out of event? I had event in the past?

[gusty wraith]

Half my alliance across all levels has military supremacy. I am one of the ones that does not

[desert laurel]

I doubt it's random, but the reqs haven't been stated.

[gusty wraith]

Well I am ops 57 so…

And there are ops 40s that have it

[keen ledge]

They've never disclosed the formula... years ago, the community speculated on what we thought got you to receive the event vs not, but no clue if we were even close.

[misty ridge]

And they can't understand why we get so damn frustrated with them

[gusty slate]

Tell us the dev’s don’t know what they built without telling us they don’t know.

[heady mica]

Like the arc runner actually watched enterprise? Yeah, Carl Tucker

[gusty slate]

Or his cookie jar ability is unrelated to anything in Enterprise.

[wicked arrow]

The formula is based on your avatar and frame selection.

[keen ledge]

As good a guess as any!

[dense gulch]

How is an ops 60 supposed to kill 500 lvl 62 hostiles when we can’t get to any?

[misty ridge]

unfreakingbelievable.... about half my alliance has this event. I've restarted several times and cleared localization twice. No event. This is just stupid.

[wicked arrow]

Elbow grease and a little gumption.

[misty ridge]

That's the boomerest thing that I've read this week

[dense gulch]

I’m all for greasing the elbow. But I can’t get to any 62 to rub them out.

[misty ridge]

Flashbacks to when I was a teenager looking for a job and my mother chanted at me that I needed to "pound the pavement!"

[keen ledge]

"that's life in the big city"

That is my mom's favorite LOL

[inner cave]

What I’ve found from personal experience is if your close to getting to the next shipyard lvl or have the shipyard lvl to build one of your ships but DONT have one. You get the event but like I said been a while since I saw it.

[worldly kelp]

Does anyone know what triggers the military supremacy event. Why would 1 player get it and another who is the same level not get it. Just curious

[gusty slate]

You need to buy the $99.99 military supremacy pack to unlock it.

[misty ridge]

literally no one knows

[worldly kelp]

lol. Figures. Typical scopley though

[worldly kelp]

I did not buy the pack and I have it. One of my alliance mates who is the same level does not

[gusty slate]

Are you sure, sometimes Scopely charges a pack automatically against your CC on file.

[tribal plank]

500 hostiles ??? What happened to quality over quantity ???

[worldly kelp]

I’m positive I did not buy the pack. Let scopely charge my card with out me authorizing. I don’t know where you are but here that’s illegal and opens up lawsuit opportunity

[vocal hawk]

is there a reason why I don't have military supremacy and most of my alliance do? seems pretty unfair that they get extra rewards and I don't... people of my ops have the event but I don't, and as per usual zero explanation as to why this is

[cyan plaza]

Same here - some have it, most don't @pseudo rune

[gusty slate]

He doesn’t know and has no intention of finding out.

[vocal hawk]

it's supposedly given to people who are "behind" for their ops, one of my alliance members is on VIP discord. Apparently there are more criteria that Scopely refuse to communicate, but your power vs your ops is one of them. Unsurprising I didn't get it, I'm 57 ops and most of the people below me in power rankings are 58/59 ops lol

[leaden spoke]

How can i kill level 61+ if i am ops59?

[junior crescent]

#⭐-official-announcements message

[vocal hawk]

this scoring metric should have been adjusted, restart your game & clear localisation and this should change for you

[cyan plaza]

Thank you

[junior crescent]

I don't think that's the secret formula - I'm above average ops39 (~10th power on my server), yet not having MilSup

[main spindle]

What's up with suddenly giving back military supremacy event to ops 39 plus

[gusty slate]

Fancy, there’s an exclusive velvet rope discord. 🪩 💃

[vocal hawk]

I think you misunderstood me, you fit the criteria to NOT get the event if that's the case

[junior crescent]

oh right, sorry, flipped it in my mind 🙂

[vocal hawk]

yeah, anything that has been fixed/adjusted in this game is thanks to the VIPs going nuts in that discord lol... if it wasn't for the whales making noise, this game would be even worse than it currently is (yeah, I know, hard to imagine)

[gusty slate]

Meh, maybe. Lots of stuff has never been fixed, even with everyone complaining.

[gusty slate]

Yeah, not the criteria. I got a guy that’s above average for his ops and he got it. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Definitely a good guess though, logical, which most likely means Scopely wouldn’t use it.

[glacial token]

Is this event limited to ops 59? So 60+ excluded ?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/732623803586183210/1201944136270479432/Screenshot_20240130_103601_Star_Trek_Fleet_Command.jpg?ex=65cba8b5&is=65b933b5&hm=ccec5e7969d2c0c867a4efad576f650593fb68db77b830f6f96331ffa32c2710&

[warped ginkgo]

Scopely doesn't do anything without the intention of making money, my guess is the military supremacy event is for those who don't have the resources to build / tier up the mentioned ships, therefore pushing some to buy resources or said ship . Or grind out 500 of the hardest hostiles you can hit lol

[glacial token]

At least u get the event ….i am ops 62 and don’t seem to have this event

[warped ginkgo]

The way the event works I don't think you would want it lol you would have to kill 500 lv 70+ hostiles 😅 or build one of the ships further down the line

[waxen fable]

same

[waxen fable]

dont mind to have the event at all tho 😄

[crisp forge]

No military supremacy event here

[acoustic bear]

Lol everybudy doesn't get the event ?

[serene helm]

Seems not

[acoustic bear]

I'm grinding faction ATM so the event is sweet double payout for the same ole hostiles lol

Triple payout if you count COW

[deep steeple]

Ops 52 no military supremecy don't know if only available to players at a certain spend lvl I bought 1 BP last year so I'm not worthy in scopelys eyes

[acoustic bear]

I oped up to 49 like 2 weeks ago and I got it lol

[round wren]

Military Supremacy would be nice across all levels... I think a lot of people could use that Trit.

[acoustic bear]

@deep steeple it's not because you didn't spend I don't think.

[deep steeple]

As previously no one really knows how you get the event it's the biggest mystery of the game

[umbral coral]

Hello, can someone please tell me which events are currently on ?

as i see i dont have most of events... only 1

[proud wing]

Officer Pass, Unity event. Crucible of War and maybe Military Supremacy

[visual sparrow]

Any news why TC Trailblazer - SMS hasn't started again?

[desert laurel]

It won't until just before the first takeovers start.

[visual sparrow]

In that case I hope it will be there in 12h 30m 👍

[umbral coral]

i have only cow nothing else

[desert laurel]

I'd try clearing localization.

[umbral coral]

dont work, and there is more ppl also from alliance who dont have

[desert laurel]

SS your events if you would, please. Also, what server?

[desert rivet]

I dont have it too,, that is not cool 😔

[brittle mulch]

S45 is lagging and unstable. Can't send msg in AC and Chats.
Clearing location (7 times now) doesn't help ...
At least 5 players with the issue.

[hexed gorge]

@pseudo rune please fix in game chat

[modest basin]

I just realized that the Lockbox is visually tied to the Treasury building. Could it be that the rewards scale with the Treasury building and thats why they are so behind what a player expects of the ops level?

[pale rain]

1st time I've gotten it in 20 ops lvls. They told me they wouldn't say the requirements for it to populate when i asked in game

[molten sigil]

No, it’s based on ops and spender/non-spender

[pale rain]

Apparently there's 3 tiers for that that goes by ur spend lvl

[desert laurel]

Lockbox is linked to ops level and a hidden tier.

[modest basin]

Is there information for the breakpoints on that hidden factor

[desert laurel]

The lockbox tier has at least 3 levels: f2p, $100, and usually one between them. You can determine your tier by the cost of your keys.

Buying a key moves you up a tier.

[modest basin]

Thats some good information thank you

[clever bolt]

I don't even have the MILITARY SUPREMACY event!!!
@pseudo rune - any reason why?

I hate scopely help desk

[desert laurel]

There is a reason, but they won't tell us what it is.

[serene helm]

£ probably the reason

[ocean agate]

Well there might be a logic to it, but it is all sort of spend levels from the players who do and who don’t have it, also some ops levels do have it,some don’t. So € doesn’t seem to be driving the decision if you get the event or not.

[shy imp]

Will there be a spend mats (buildings) event soon?

[serene helm]

Because they aren’t being transparent about the reason why you can’t actually back that comment

[ocean agate]

Lets say observation of who gets the event and who doesn’t tells me that the level of money you spend is not (the only) reason for getting the event or not

[desert laurel]

A buildings mat spend event ended this morning(it was a surprise event, no scheduling).
There's a building event in just over an hour, not specifically mat spend, but for completions.
And weekends usually have a mat spend event, but not just buildings.

[dreamy patio]

station slb tomorrow after event reset

and then another one the day after that

andd two station build sms's back to back in an hour

[spare perch]

Military supremacy unlock seems like it has to do with having a requisite level of ops for a new faction ship and the required reputation for a ship you dont have yet. Or something along those lines at least.

[spare perch]

Im pretty sure they changed it to two categories a while ago: f2p and having spent any money at all.

[desert laurel]

Started with 4 tiers, then 3. If they moved to 2, then that's interesting. Either way, we know the floor and the ceiling, and how to make steps upward.

[proud wing]

I have the event. Ops 44, with a Valdore, of several tiers, and 1b Rom rep. I get to build/tier the uncommon G4 ships.

[spare perch]

I guess no other faction rep enough for unc g4? Thats that theory out of the window at least 😅

[spare perch]

yeah. I spent 25 euro total and Im pretty sure I have max tier rewards. 3.3m lat, 4495 g5 rare ore etc at ops 56.

[desert laurel]

If your keys cost $100, that's max.

[spare perch]

ah, right, yeah, its max

[proud wing]

I have 1b in rom and fed and almost 300m in klg, but only own a valdore.

[celest relic]

Have they ever run syndicate between arcs?

[ornate gate]

I think they have. If they do this time, I’d expect the milestones to continue to creep up even more since they loaded the flash pass with syndicate exp.

[zealous prawn]

<@&509691205798592532> So why is Scopely refusing to tell people how to qualify for the Military Supremacy event? Because, this handing the event out to some and not others without disclosing the reason is insulting.

[keen ledge]

We don't actually work for Scopely so I can't say why they don't disclose it. We have asked for 5 years but there's not been a clear answer.

[zealous prawn]

Hmm and they wonder why people are frustrated right now, that is a huge slap in the face to many people.

[fringe pond]

I have the MS event.. ops41, total ftp, best ship is augur and nowhere nr getting a t4 ship

[cunning radish]

Ahh how I missed people complaining about MS

https://tenor.com/view/kuzco-yzma-chat-cat-mwahaha-gif-24314206

[dreamy patio]

I'm complaining that i don't have it, because i want that trit

lol

[slender trellis]

I didn't get the event either

[fiery compass]

I killed the hostiles anyway; wouldn't have minded trit & iirc materials; though I'm not exactly short on trit

[torn crescent]

I have it, but don’t need the Tri, raided 4T from a whale who helped us lose our last incursions.

[fiery compass]

now is the time to secure the whales RSS, aye

[nova epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/cheetah-party-dancing-tyreek-nfl-gif-22789620

[spare perch]

yeah, so you probably got it because you can build a Ktinga.

[spare perch]

yeah, but this comment was about the treasury and not MS. I think you got MS because youre close in ops to g4 and might have the prerequisite reputation. But as said, only speculating.

[molten sigil]

No he can’t, he’s ops 41

[proud wing]

I’m not Ops 41.

[heady mica]

Is there event calendar somewhere for the between arc stuff yo?

[pine glen]

They put it on FB but not here, lol.

[upbeat dawn]

yeah...like incursions in 36hrs or so lol

[pine glen]

Yes, Friday at reset.

[upbeat dawn]

Khaaaan! (ts). got work

[heady mica]

Thank you

[ornate geyser]

Actually at reset? No hour-offset?

[pine glen]

We don't know, they have only said "Friday".

[waxen fable]

lets put cardassian hunt every day and keep stupid scoring for 50+ ops without 50+ cardassian hostiles

[junior crescent]

what's your top milestone?

[pine glen]

There's a 49-51 cardy system.

So 40-120 hostiles, or 2 lvl 50 armadas for my 30m pts req.

[ornate geyser]

Two armadas, done. Took all of 15 seconds of active playing…

[waxen fable]

mhm, lets cut epic creds instead of epic 57+ trash directives for that)

[ornate geyser]

I have no idea what you just said.

[spice isle]

Is there a reason Suliban Bounty Hunters dont count towards the Cerritos event? I have a Combat Exo active

[desert laurel]

Epic directives can be used in both 50 cardassian armadas or in a 57e in deep deep space.
Using them on the former would cut the epic credits received by a lot, and would be a huge waste.

[desert laurel]

Some events require actively attacking in order to count toward scoring. Sounds like the Cerri event is one of those.

[tepid sinew]

You have to actively attack. No auto grinding

[spice isle]

Interesting. good to know, though even actively clicking on a Suliban Bounty Hunter and selecting "Attack" doesnt give credit either, so seems theyve coded specifically named hostiles not to count regardless

[tepid sinew]

Hmm. On that note you can grind Acatain as long as you have a buff on that will count towards the event.

[spice isle]

yup, thats what i was doing previously when i didnt have the combat exo slot unlocked. just takes ages heh. thanks for the replies!

[stable crow]

when you're attacking bounty hunters, they also attack you.
just because you hit attack doesn't mean you are counted as the attacker.

you can see in the battle log list who got credited as "attacker".

[ripe jungle]

The Cerritos event once you’ve built one does score for autogrinding though. Been doing it in Texas space.

[pine glen]

I would check the scoring for the level of hostile in aug space. I think it used to score but only a couple of points so wortless.

[spice isle]

ohhhh thats a good distinction i didnt think of. thank you for the clarification there, that makes sense.

[dense cliff]

Does anyone know why for February the Choice pack is the only monthly pack available at this time?

[merry echo]

Any informations about the incursionevent starting on friday? Serverpairing? Eventstart? Anything? 🙄

[orchid sierra]

Where are the pairings for the Incursions? Frustrating we have no news yet.

[sonic gazelle]

The bounty hunters attack every time you move so when you move toward them it recalculates the intercept point and then attacks you based on that so they are always the last to initiate the attack, you likely will never get credit for attacking them unless they happen to be right beside you and cna't intercept.

[sonic gazelle]

most likely due to overall spend level.

the more you spend the less and less of the cheaper packs you see, and I believe the elite is ops locked

[sonic gazelle]

Typically you're paired with whichever server competed with yours in the XSLB event this last weekend, thats how its been for a while now, what we haven't seen is confirmation of that pairing or the start time. As usual we're going to end up down to the wire for some unknown reason.

[cinder inlet]

It’s sad that you guys take the abuse you do and not get paid for it. Is it some sort of kink you have.

[keen ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/judge-judgy-joy-turner-my-name-is-earl-dont-judge-me-gif-14973990

[ornate geyser]

The people using them for Card events are whales. They don’t care, because they don’t really need them, and if they do, there’s a pack for that. Hitch a ride, and hold on.
