[hushed surge]

Another boring mining nightmare for Star Trek fans who wanted to waste their time on this.

[violet salmon]

Thanks a lot

[alpine yoke]

I'm ops 67, I don't know how that impacts it. Probably more details here if you're g3-g5 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ea6FAIr_VtVAfxoSfnY8o6kB533tHfkhKy_wqCUaFj0/edit?gid=1712409843#gid=1712409843

[hard shadow]

Thank you Admiral

[stone hamlet]

this transogen stuff is peak Scopely.... you get a chaser AND the space around you kills you

so it is constant babysitting

[rugged jacinth]

Hey there. I'm OPS 61 and I'm confused about the rewards from the new Event: "Scotty's Engineering: Suliban Hunt - SMS". For the first time since I'm OPS 61 I don't get Sigma Parasteel as rewards. You guys know if all players on 61 only get normal steel for this event or is it a bug? Thx for Your help

[worldly dune]

Were you ops 60 after the event started?

[desert laurel]

It's also often the case that 60 is included in the same segment. If that happens, prepare for garbo rewards.

[rugged jacinth]

Nope, I'm already 61 for over a week

[indigo heron]

are the SLB events still ops61 to 70 in one bracket? or split between ops 61-65 and 66-70?

[nocturne cave]

yeah with the same troubles too

[ancient meadow]

@dreamy patio @lone drift Hi Mods. Usually I am very quiet. I'm finding this Scotty Engineering Event: Mine Transogen really hard to do. My ships keep getting recalled for no reason.
My miners end up back at my base, fully healed. However, none of the Transogen is registered due to this known issue.
Help? any eta on this? I've lost transogen tokens due to this recall. I reached out to the help desk.
really hurts. <@&509690795536941056> Makes this event tough to do.

[dreamy patio]

still waiting to hear back about the recalls

[trail vigil]

Where are my events? I have nothing to do 😖

[ancient meadow]

As I said, makes the mining event tough when ships suddenly go home. 🙁 Any way to bring that top total down, etc?

I appreciate you are working on that bit of code though. Thank you for that!

[weary dune]

When will we get the Borg Cube blueprints so we can do this event?

[fiery compass]

depends on the event

incursions & at least some mat spend have been split

[white wren]

Can anyone tell me if the points for mining epic transogen are meant to only be 42 for ops 40 players?

[dreamy patio]

that's odd

asking

[white wren]

thanks, was the same for the previous 2 events also...

[ancient meadow]

@dreamy patio Well, the epic is useless on the common Mine side as the system will kill a regular miner ASAP. If you mine it with the new ship you get 2x that amount. Seems odd though that you would only get like 84 points for owning the new ship. Everyone would/should mine rare then instead. @white wren

[white wren]

@ancient meadow yep that's what I resorted to 🙂 kind of annoying though that I get a new ship and I'm not really using it for what its intended because I'm busy using it to mine rare for the events :/

[dreamy patio]

was told it was intended

[white wren]

interesting saw on DJz stream from yesterday that he has 4,250 pts for mining epic for his event, guess it must be ops based... thanks for the update.

[dreamy patio]

yes, i have the higher points for it

[grim cargo]

Yeah, last arc had a ridiculous number of simultaneous events, this one has like... mine a little transogen and then do your dailies and you're done.

[ancient meadow]

@white wren my points were for my lvl 56. Just fyi

[opal mantle]

can we get more events that award officer xp?

[molten elm]

Give it time, they’ll manage to mess it up somehow

[late inlet]

Sooo .... does this arc have any events?

[warm sorrel]

daily bp events, scotty's engineering events for another few days, and in a few days there will be ferengi bp events, and next week will have the chronicles of the ascendant events and flashpoint

[cinder yacht]

Whatever the case it’s way too light on events

[late inlet]

Ticket events tomorrow. An officer spend event 9 & 10 - could be for officer tokens or M'bagala.

Next week

[pseudo warren]

incursions on the 27th? thats fast

[fiery compass]

on a Wednesday? boooooo

[hexed gorge]

just use lat

[uncut vale]

Territory 🙀

[light elm]

I tried to ask on launch day, but no response... I am not sure if that incursion is on Wednesday and it's like the dates are usually listed, or if it's actually Tuesday and ending Wednesday like they sometimes do with multi-day events.

If it's actually Wednesday, an IMS is going to start right after incursion ends when everyone who participated in that is exhausted. That's a horrible idea

[uncut vale]

Scopley has too many events. It’s only gonna get worse with overlapping and non stop grinds. They can even run every event they are supposed to. I heard rumors of a chimera event 😂

Keep digging that hole

[late inlet]

What happened to Thursday syndicate event? Wandering warriors? Anyone know?

[teal jungle]

why is there no source for transogen tokens is this an oversight a mistake or another gap between F2P and Wallet players

[desert laurel]

1 every 5 building levels, then 1/w at building 45.

[teal jungle]

isnt that lite for token mining

but i bet you can buy them at any level

[desert laurel]

Very few times where they aren't willing to sell you progression. That's just how it is. The loop can be supplied without token'd mining.

[teal jungle]

reguardless still love the game and new arc is fun atleast for me stumbled on eviserator rift mining to skirt warp limits

last question why different mining rates for same minerals by far between these systems

system 40 is 76k system 44 is 1.6 k

the higher you go you get punished i dont get that

[desert laurel]

Looks fine on stfc.space, what does it show in-game?

[teal jungle]

wait on that just checked for screens it changed now way higher thank you scopley for your hard work

[smoky spear]

People complain about having too much grinds now when we don't have to grind a lot we also complain

[short flower]

I personally can't say I enjoy (as level 32 ops) sending a ship to auto grind 120 suli transports at around 10 ships per hull.

[late inlet]

Events when you have to grind 100s of hostiles to completely passive mining & autogrind.

[dull pagoda]

Lol

[late inlet]

Is that the only type of events? Are there no 'fun' events? Trivia or something to earn a few extra shards?

[late inlet]

I need close to 100, so 1.5 hrs (?) of just watching ?

[smoky spear]

I am liking this arc more tbh but don't worry hurok will pop up soon

[short flower]

yep and the thing is I am camping 32 currently, I feel for any fresh 30's doing this event. They might only be able to kill 5 or even less hostiles per hull

[smoky spear]

I have to aswell don't worry and uts worse lol

[hot palm]

Try getting 2 to 4 per hull because of hazards in the g6 systems, with massive repair bills too. Only need 122 hostiles so 40 repairs should do. So engaging

[smoky spear]

Same

Also players keep killing my tail lol even bigger pain

[fickle imp]

That’s a lot of hostiles considering u have to afk farm it very slowly

[clear dirge]

Im certain its double what they wanted a few days ago.

[half pumice]

Actually it’s triple to previous run, but they taged it “heroic” so all good 🤣 thanks I’ll pass

[winter granite]

Where are all the "standard" weekly SLBs we have been seeing for months now? Such as the FT, CT, Special Ship Upgrade ones?

[glossy fog]

it is fairly easy to do though - put multiple ships out across a range of systems that do not cause you hazard and it gets done. am a third of way through it by having 4 ships doing it whilst i am AFk

[dreamy patio]

5 minutes

[winter granite]

Lol, probably should have waited that long to see if they actually appear before posting. Just has been a event empty week so far.

Okay, I waited. I restarted the game just in case I was missing something. None of those SLBs that run for two days that have been happening for months now showed up. I know many in my alliance are confused by the sudden drop in events during an arc.

I know last month was a bit heavy, sounds like next week might be heavy too, but this seems an odd move and it is compounded by the lack of any form of communication about what is going on with events.

[dreamy patio]

thought you were talking about the events in the daily bucket

[winter granite]

Understandable misunderstanding.

[dreamy patio]

next week will have flashpoint and the ferengi bp

and the ascendant events

[late inlet]

Xmas 🎄 is coming too ....

[dreamy patio]

Are the group waves working properly?

[late inlet]

But it's still running in a meta

[wheat crescent]

Why do I get only g5 mats in suliban hunt as ops 61?

[crystal inlet]

I'm a visual person so I need a way to visualize all the things to stay on top of in the game. I hope I'm not missing anything 😂

I'm missing the Vindicator in my Events section 😂

[fiery compass]

terrifying and impressive

gs-31's loot, I think

[crystal inlet]

Ah yea... I haven't gotten there and the spreadsheet lists it as an image.

[fiery compass]

I would put it in the wave section under ignore probably

[crystal inlet]

And probably loot from the epic transogen canisters as well for the new ship

[fiery compass]

yup

[crystal inlet]

Yea its ignore until I get the GS-31. What is the loot called?

[fiery compass]

GS-31 Recon Data, I think

[crystal inlet]

Thank you!

[fiery compass]

maybe faction messages?

and the... what's it called that you use to get ship parts from the Voyager

[uncut vale]

I don’t see decoded data or encrypted data 🧐

[crystal inlet]

Ugh. I've had that archived forever but I should add it for sake of completness.

[crystal inlet]

Anomaly Samples are in mining, and Messages are in Hostiles (top right corner)

[fiery compass]

so they are, but I mean the Commerce Insignia

you can grind those, arguably

[crystal inlet]

Oh yea. I forgot about those.

Wait? They are grindable?

I could sure use some...

[fiery compass]

rare chests from via the Voyager summoned hostiles that give you messages

so it's a double limited grind, but it's kinda doable

[crystal inlet]

okay. Thats good to know thanks! Learn something new every day.

I'm half tempted to add boxes for Sarris and Hurak grinds as well....

[crystal inlet]

By this logic Swarm Frequency Modulators are missing lol

[uncut vale]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-8ball-fortune-gif-3353722416505620491

[fiery compass]

nah, you don't do anything with them except upgrade the ship

[uncut vale]

There are many who still are doing that

[crystal inlet]

I did grind them pretty hard when I was a small one. Easy 5k task for ATs

[fiery compass]

I was assuming the inclusion criteria was, broadly, "used to pull something that has a cool down"

... technically there's a fm1>fm2 refinery on a cool down I guess

[crystal inlet]

Yea pretty much. Things that are grinded not refined.

[crystal inlet]

True. But the swarm IA pull takes care of that.

[warm cape]

The Scotty heroic won't be so bad if I could actually use the loot from it, but I can't punch up on them yet so at 42 I get a bunch of loot I can't even use

[uncut vale]

Perfect example of why we need alternative scoring methods

[little wigeon]

Most passive arc in memory

[uncut vale]

This is what happens when Scopley listens. So much crying last month about events, well……

[opal mantle]

Do you think there will be more events for spending Pioneer Crests coming up?

[willow holly]

I spent a load yesterday, so odds are good

[alpine yoke]

Could really use an artifact or fc event, especially while there's nothing else going on

[ornate nacelle]

guess the squall f2p block when buying the pack was intentional. can't wait for my steak dinner tomorrow night with the money I was going to spend on the squall.

[tropic dune]

Normally happens on Saturday or Sunday

[visual compass]

those enemies only spawn in hazard systems

[hollow perch]

You're not farming in a high enough system

[ornate nacelle]

I see the recall bug is still fully active

[latent sonnet]

He's probably talking about the sms rewards

[cobalt dune]

When does the discovery event start today?

[tired prairie]

at ops 30 I feel like I should be working on a better ship LOL

Than Mayflower / D3 / Vahlkis / Northstar

[wraith gate]

i beleive the saladin is a good ship to get. at least when i was ops 30 it was. then i worked upto the ent and augar

[glossy fog]

Yeah the saladin was nice - i skipped 26 faction ship and that was my first - with enty at ops 34 being the next

[neat socket]

Our alliance (TOO on server 402) finished 1st in Expert League. Instead of being promoted to Master League and a store full of options, we were relegated to Adept League. 30mins later, we were somehow in Apprentice League with almost nothing to use our hard earned credits on.

Scopely support has been a joke. Most players got nothing. Some got 6k Emergency Field Rations. A few 2k. Most who submitted a ticket got 200. Not even enough to 1x Daily Reward Chip.

Something similar has happened to at least 3 alliances that we're aware of. Fortunately, they only dropped 1 league, not 3. But it was never resolved. They all had to work their way back up the tables, setting them back months in unlocking the content these tournaments are supposed to provide.

If you and other members of the community could offer any help in making this public knowledge, to push Scopely into actually resolving the problem so we compete in the Master League, not Apprentice next time, and awarding equal compensation to all players affected, we would be eternally grateful. Thank you😊👍

[inland hamlet]

Happens on Sundays, pretty sure it's Saturday today.,

[cobalt dune]

No, I heard it was Saturday still

[little narwhal]

eviscerator is an armada killer!!! it needs a little mitigation.. it outdamages the cube t13

that was oooold sorry

[smoky spear]

I mean its probably harder to upgrade than cube tho 😂

[little narwhal]

those trying to finish heroic sms. vger can hit up i had 2 mining nodes one with miner in 56 one with janeway doctor annorex in 60... on nodes for mining defense bonus

[little narwhal]

yessir it was i chased it every tourney n almost every event exchange

but it can rip 70 supadupa deep with grush

sorry for replying i know that pings my discord notifications

[smoky spear]

I use disco for now

1300ish warp

[little narwhal]

i got 1000 prime valor particles... torn between +480 discovery warp n +300% station attack... we all know the correct answer buuuuht discovery was my first paid ship back when i started

[smoky spear]

Ofcourse its disco 😂

[little narwhal]

my disco would be right above 1000 warp range with prime

[smoky spear]

Nha i can go 1300 with grush

Same lvl 3 prime

Lvl 4 is ops lock for now

[little narwhal]

whats the ops gate?

i recently rushed to 63

[smoky spear]

Lvl 3 at 61

Lvl 4 at 65

[little narwhal]

ty

[smoky spear]

Lvl 5 at 68 ? I am not sure about lvl 5

Lvl 3 is actually enough mostly for now 1300 warp gets me most of the places i want to go the ops gates there are kinda fair i think

[cobalt dune]

Do you know what time the discovery event usually starts?

[cinder dew]

Sunday 1pm est

[dreamy patio]

do not cross post

[burnt kelp]

what a pathetic recruits slb....

[supple badger]

Sort the transogen mining scores out! Mine 1200000 rare, score says 1500 per, so should score 1.8 billion - scores 960 million!!

[paper zealot]

Bring back the material spend event SMS/SLB for the new officer, not this new Officer Depot garbage.

[gray tapir]

Should it have been a new officer shards event?
Did they change something??

[desert laurel]

It was updated to officer depot tokens.

[burnt kelp]

Should be, but Scopely being Scopely

[gray tapir]

Where is the official announcement that they changed it?
The in-game post still notes Mbenga shards.

[forest knoll]

I just checked... it now says depot tokens. The douche bags changed it at the last minute just to screw with us.

[burnt kelp]

but still in #💫-event-information it's Mbenga and Depot Tokens (both)

[forest knoll]

Check again. Someone crossed it out and put depot tokens in.

[burnt kelp]

No worries, few minutes ago i've been posting in #💬-events-feedback the screenshot of its saying Depot AND Mbenga, and this is a 🍆 move to change event when it's already started.

[desert laurel]

You're in luck, it was changed before I posted it. I just missed the update.

[desert laurel]

Also this:

[forest knoll]

Some truly awful people working at this company. Only a bunch of 🫏 holes would change an event like this to a lesser reward minutes before, or after, it launches.

[nocturne shadow]

What they were hoping was for you to spend before reading lol. Works more often than not

[wraith gate]

ya the ent was a really good ship. especially once you get a morale crew on her

[dreamy patio]

#⭐-official-announcements

[hazy stag]

What’s up with the material spend sms target? Last time it was around 80m, now it’s 172m

Which is honestly a bit obscene

[nocturne shadow]

"Heroic"

[burnt kelp]

They are always called "Heroic"

[nocturne shadow]

Plus I can't even try to go for this one. Already did the 5 days of spend events for shards last week lol

[burnt kelp]

Our Friend is right, they changed the event, almost trippling the highest milestone for T1

[earnest marsh]

What happened to the weekly Chaos Tech Upgrade, Mirror Research, Artifact events?

[desert laurel]

Careful, the rewards aren't the same between those two events and they aren't even the same. Today's event isn't T1 of one officer, it's depot tokens for a choice of many.

[burnt kelp]

Its scored like T3, mid 3-4 milestone ... the last mileston for T3 SMS were 110 mln for ops 63, the last one is above 220 mln

[for S31 GG]

[frigid lily]

Well this makes everything ok 👍

[burnt kelp]

It would be "OK" if they would changed it BEFORE event started, not after it did

and also annouce it before

[quiet orbit]

double the cost for a choice of old stuff, instead of give us new stuff for the old price

[burnt kelp]

and it also won't unlock an epic with higher need of spend.... it is ALL about greed

[desert laurel]

The number of shards per each final MS is missing info.

[burnt kelp]

Of course it does... in purpouse, but im pretty sure u could unlock the full officer finishing T2 or being at 3rd mileston of T3 WHICH is still cheapier than this event - for a half of the reward

[desert laurel]

It was changed before, as I said, I missed the update and didn't change the #💫-event-information section to reflect the changes.

It was changed 3d ago.

[bronze badger]

Wondering the same thing, really curious why events most of us liked were pulled from an Arc that is already lacking events to begin with.

There was more to do / engagement for the Interim 2 weeks then there seems to be with this Arc

[burnt kelp]

no it were not, i already gave you a screenshot from todays Day @desert laurel

[desert laurel]

You're looking at cached information. Use clear localization to see an updated version.

[burnt kelp]

What are you talking about @desert laurel 😄 it's a screenshoot from official discord 😄

[desert laurel]

You mean the #💫-event-information section that I update? yeah, that's what I was talking about before. If you mean the in-game one, I don't change that.

[frigid lily]

Nobody reads the ingame one

[burnt kelp]

Especialy if it's not annouced that's been a changed in it

[earnest marsh]

I'm pritty sure as they cannot think of events they removed them to be added in this "Chronicles of the Ascendant Events" that are due 12th-17th.
It's really annoying as we had a nice stable weekly chain of events that rewarded us for advancing our research/chaos tech/artifacts/commanders and then they are removed causing many to just hoard the resources again (yes I am also hoarding, no spend without reward.)

[burnt kelp]

no spend without reward.) <-- exactly thats my motto

[bronze badger]

A fellow member of the “Brotherhood of Hoarders” I see!

Cannot comprehend why they keep removing / negatively altering events and milestones they get mostly positive feedback on, I get they are a for profit company but I really doubt those events “cost” them and I know more than one whale who’s spent to win on them.

Additionally seriously confused by this Arc, other than lag it’s stable which is great, but there is nothing to do.

If the point was to have activities broken into a couple smaller BP’s to try and increase sales I personally think it’s a bad idea but that’s the right as the Dev’s, but where is the content?

[desert laurel]

Think they should have kept the 3x runs of flashpoint. At least it should start up soon.

[bronze badger]

💯agree, with corrected milestones, but it still doesn’t explain why they removed the other weekly events like the Faction Rep, CT, etc. SLB’s that were well liked by the community.

The removal of those alone has to significantly decrease engagement, I can’t be the only one who would grind on one of those if all the other daily / Arc events were done

[dreamy patio]

they were rolled into the ascendant events

which will start next week

[burnt kelp]

which is like "if you are lucky you gonna unlock half of the new officer with much more effort or spend"

[shrewd knot]

if feels like they do the "Mythbusters" massive overcorrect when the first things don't work. overloaded with massive events. ok so one event and nothing else. seems there is no inbetween.

also seems like they skipped putting new officers and only the tokens. which wouldn't be bad if they put the new officers in as options.

[late inlet]

We're already almost a week into the arc and nothing has happened. And no waves, slb, etc

[burnt kelp]

They shutting down the game 😛 no arc runners, only 1-2 left to keep things with silver tape xD

[late inlet]

So .... know any good phone apps.. ?

[burnt kelp]

farmville xd

[desert laurel]

TeamFight Tactics was fun.

[steady valve]

A spend event for officers that we've been getting offered for months. Not the ones from this month... not the ones from last month... just the same ole ones. Glad we get a chance to choose, but I'm wanting to work towards officers that help with current content

[split crescent]

But why was it changed many are wondering

[burnt kelp]

💲

[desert laurel]

Changes are common, and nothing in the schedule is set in stone. The why isn't explained most of the time.

[split crescent]

For today, its a mining event. And, well that's really it. Cause officer depot tokens are ok, but not exactly worth actively getting. I view them mostly as a neato bonus

[desert laurel]

To me, they're more valuable than bMbenga, he's just not a good officer.

[split crescent]

But at least one i dont already have and doesnt have other sourcing. Which officer in the depot attracts you the most. I have 100k tokens to spend

[desert laurel]

My officer development is pretty strong, the only target left now is S31 Georgiou. But if I had access to this years ago some things I'd get early:
T5 Torres, Kim, Neelix, then unlocks of Gwen, Hugh. Earlier last month, I went in on T4 Suder since I enjoy tinkering with interesting abilities.

[split crescent]

I figure neelix from augment store. Kim and blt are maxed. Super is an interesting pick up. I will look at him closer

[desert laurel]

The key thing to note for hhp healing is that it's capped at 95%.

[bronze badger]

Both OG and PIC Hugh… PIC Hugh is great as he works regardless of hostile in my opinion

[desert laurel]

Yeah, he has a very solid source though and I try to avoid epics in event stores. They require too much currency (3x what a rare costs) and you don't get anywhere even if you spend all of it. Rares on the other hand can be maxed out, and a T5 ability like torres' BDA are insane.

[bronze badger]

I’d love a way to see some of those stats in game, both the max for specific things in a tooltips formation and also what the current ship / Officer combo gives you
(Though I could have just overlooked that, so happy to do a forehead slap if it’s there someplace)

[desert laurel]

I think it's one of those mechanics they don't disclose, like the 71.2% mitigation cap or the 80-20 damage split for shp/hhp.

[dull pagoda]

These people are wild

[icy quarry]

um, don't we normally get material events for the new officer and, also an arc store with blueprints and stuff?

[uncut vale]

These heroics are insane. But I will never let Scopley dictate my progress. If I refuse to participate in any event because of the design, I’ll never get anywhere. Might as well quit if one isn’t gonna upgrade anything out of spite.

Because you will never upgrade 😂

I’ll never finish that heroic. Don’t care where I end up

[main spindle]

So we went from a spend event for new officers in a arc long SMS event to a weekend SMS event for tokens for old officers. Swell!!

[uncut vale]

Best officers in the game are in the officer depot

[late inlet]

But too expensive

Well, the epics

[flint canopy]

And moving away from the month-long SMS makes speed-ups a big constraint. Not sure how that helps Scopely or anyone else.

[uncut vale]

#FREEMBENGA!

[worldly dune]

Mbenga is mid at best

[warm sorrel]

mbenga is probably going to be in the chronicles of the ascendant in a few days, like how scotty was last month

[half sky]

i think its the weekend no idea where quasi at

[late inlet]

Check your bucket

[honest atlas]

Is there any useful chatter about all the SLB events we aren't seeing anymore? FC upgrade, Artifact hunt, Priority research, Specialty ship spend, Specialty Cred spend (ie exborg). What else? I also really miss the Syndicate XP event, but figure too many free players are reaching Syn55, so that event is gone for good.

[warm sorrel]

I believe all of those scored during the shattered alliance xslbs the other week, and will again during the chronicles of the ascendant next week

[late inlet]

It really looks like someone forgot to schedule any events. Lots of TBA.

I wonder what's really going on ...

[tired prairie]

We are going to get SNW Muppet officers ...

[rare verge]

It’s about time these were updated

As you max them they should be replaced

[tired prairie]

I don't even have one shard of any of those LOL

And I am silly - When I finally get Cerritos I want an entire Cerritos Bridge Crew, and a Borg crew for a Borg Cube, etc. Just because LOL

Though I have now had players kill my miners with 3 Uhura and 3 Scotty bridge crews.

[hot palm]

dead mechanic now they found a way to monetise it with officer depot tokens, no way will they add anything to it. And our daily income of the patterns from officers you have maxed seems to be 90% of the time broken, showing officers with a 0 or a full green bar rather than the patterns.

[uncut vale]

It’s a way for them to adjust as needed based on sales.

[smoky spear]

I mean we will have hurok on 14 so ....

[uncut beacon]

This, they realised transporter shards was a dead mechanic from a monetisation POV, so that is now “archived” and replaced with officer tokens. The devs did a interview with a CC and basically said no new officers are being added to transporter pattern store, probably ever

[quartz wren]

the events are decided, they just dont want you to know what materials to horde in advance

[late inlet]

I can't tell if Scoops is being super sneaky or super incompetent

[umbral olive]

Joke's on them. Ever since following you and Jamesbond, I realized that hoarding for slb events produced very little rewards, and it was always better to simply keep advancing at a steady pace.

[charred relic]

What a boring arc. Nothing to do and no events.

[verbal shale]

last arc to much...now not enough 🤷

[loud vine]

Whats up with no events? Are they all planed in the last week all at once, so the other half can complaining about to much to do? 😁

[spice brook]

Auto-grind and Mine. Are you trying to BORE us into quitting?
Hope y’all are working on those bugs. 😂

[tropic dune]

the hallmarks of a game studio bankrupted creatively.

[vagrant pumice]

Will the month long spend event SMS ever return? It was so much better than having to rush everything in 2 days

[vagrant pumice]

the engineering events are the calm before the storm. Tomorrow starts the Ferengi Exchange pass, the day after starts the Ascendant events, then 2 days later starts the 1st Flashpoint Invasion this month... We're going to be plenty busy with events soon!

[pallid jungle]

Event gets better after completing today’s event 100 points short and timers show this is the last day

[willow holly]

Last event is Heroic, which is 200 points. If you completed the others you should finish the scotty events

[uncut vale]

This heroic event would be ok if the hostiles actually attacked 🙈

[late inlet]

Starts next week. Just like last month

[late inlet]

Really. If I send miners, they chase me all over. Now ....🦥

[uncut vale]

I put my war ships on nodes, and now they’re all over me 😂

Used nx01 and sent straight to node

[vagrant pumice]

are you counting todays event as 200 points? its heroic

[versed osprey]

there were 6 events of which two were heroic and rewarding 200 points, so 800 points total. Seems like you missed an event

[late inlet]

There's a huge lag on scoring

[vagrant pumice]

oh i'm aware... I had to refresh for the score in my Ahead of the Curve event to catch up... It was missing 600 points from events i've done in the last hour XD

[late inlet]

Scooply future arcs?

[hexed gorge]

Why where they called heroic. My understanding is, that usually means you need to spend to complete, not just let ships passively auto grind

[late inlet]

It can be done. But t8me consuming

[desert laurel]

Heroic just means harder than normally expected of an event. This one takes some players several hours of autogrinding, that's far outside the normal range of regular events in terms of time.

[frigid lily]

Took 2h of autogrind. Pretty heroic I am 🤣

[stable escarp]

Is this the last month of the BS flashpoint arc?

[late inlet]

I bet you say that every month.

[stable escarp]

Nope, just this one. 🤷‍♂️

[warm sorrel]

probably going to be a part 3 of the snw flashpoint arc (note the lack of end of arc event store), then another three months of a different flashpoint arc

[visual compass]

there wont be a end of arc event store anymore, thats what the ferengie pass is now for - every month.... Info was dropped here on discord by a CM or Mod a few days ago....

[warm sorrel]

do you have a link to that post?

[visual compass]

Let me dig that up.... - see you in 3 days 🤣

[warm sorrel]

looks like its #💬-general-feedback message

[visual compass]

thanks

[warm sorrel]

really burying the lead with that one, and its not like we've even had the ferengi pass every month so that doesn't make sense

[visual compass]

I knew i read it somewhere on this discord

[weary flint]

ehhm, what?

[hardy geyser]

mine 5 raw common transogen 😅

[late inlet]

Mine 5

[fierce cosmos]

Shouldn't this end AFTER the last TC tomorrow? Or better yet, Tuesday at reset?

[hardy totem]

Is there a link for that? Tempted to abandon the game if they're doing this kind of stuff.

[frigid lily]

it was posted earlier here

[visual compass]

#💬-general-feedback message

[polar patio]

It’s the same thing basically, just less slbs and rewards but more frequent

[burnt kelp]

Usually if someone from scopely says that - im pretty sure it is to screw us at the end point

[polar patio]

well yeah the less slbs part is the problem for me, not that they changed the frequency😄

[indigo heron]

<@&509690795536941056> if you're gonna re-send the schedule then at least update it with the schedule of whatever was supposed to be announced today

[warm sorrel]

still 28 minutes before they might let us know what the ferengi schedule looks like

[burnt kelp]

even they have no clue

[warm sorrel]

communications does seem to be a problem, both internal and external

[late inlet]

Scooply doesn't know either

[uncut beacon]

Serene Squall buff inbound I reckon. Sales numbers are down.

[burnt kelp]

this ferengi pass store is so terrible..

[sage bronze]

Great way to introduce a new currency EVERY SINGLE MONTH.

[austere rover]

No Jobs speed up and no crystal in treasury this months? 😡😡😡😡😡

[unkempt raptor]

No FC slot either

[warm sorrel]

this is such a weird treasry, explorer ship parts on the officer one? and only explorer?

[fierce cosmos]

Only reason I would buy arc $20 track anymore was for the end of arc event store loot. But if they're doing this new model, where they don't even carry over the currency... Well, guess I'm done spending at all anymore.

Great play Scopely!

[warm sorrel]

I agree that having an event store currency only battlepass is 🤮 but not carrying over the event store currency isn't anything new

[fierce cosmos]

Except it wasn't communicated from the last one, just that they'd be bringing it back, and recently that it would replace the end of arc event store.

End of arc event store, you'd have most of the month to gather and save currency. This ferengi BS runs 12 days, and some of the extra tasks can be tough to complete on top of everything else. It's just all a poor change.

[olive sinew]

Some of us got stung by the premium Ferengi opportunity chips redeem closing a day earlier than the rest of the store and now they bring it back but the old tokens don't carry over... How petty can you get?

At least they put it outside the other buckets this time...

[normal oar]

New March of Progress, but no new Ahead of the Curve?

[warm sorrel]

maybe in 22 minutes? the ahead of the curve officer claim is also gone

[unkempt raptor]

Can we please get the FC slot added to the Ferengi Store..

[lime jungle]

Where is the feerengi BP event??

[heady mica]

Is this event doable without new ship and no selkie cause no 61 or higher?

[lime jungle]

Yeap. If you’re in a token transigen system

[white stone]

it possible with mutliple ships and a upgraded building.

[warm sorrel]

you need to do a million common transogen, half that in uncommon, or a quarter in rare. I could probably get your score at ops 50

[brazen sandal]

Are there going to be any events coming up for spending solo Krenim armada directives?

[heady mica]

How long is this going to take? 😂

[sonic mica]

If you're g6 ops, get a selkie soon. I picked up 2 extra and the event is complete in less than 20 min

[warm sorrel]

wouldn't surprise me if they were still giving ops 60 the milestones for g6

[viscid sinew]

The new event store aka ferengi store is a mess... The arc BP was something that worked well, so why ruin it Scopely?

[warm sorrel]

<@&509690795536941056> admiral's event ticket trade in is where?

[dreamy patio]

it was raised

[heady mica]

Guess I can make it with 6 miners going. lol 😂 dig, dig, dig 🪏

[dreamy patio]

trade in should be there now

[burnt kelp]

cause they want us to leave

[flint canopy]

So we have the ferengi BP starting today and another chronicles event starting tomorrow, right? Do we have every schedule for either somewhere? I haven’t found them. But I thought several of the daily events last time required some planning.

[dreamy patio]

no

[warm sorrel]

so they did give up on the rotation after doing it once, smh my head

also, only 7 days?

[dreamy patio]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brazen sandal]

Is the admirals choice planning on changing? Or is it going to forever be mirror and SNW? As I was under the impression after each reset it would change, not necessarily the group but the officers. Last time it was a different group of officers, but I expected it be different this time, the officers at least

[dreamy patio]

they said quarterly, but who knows

[scarlet osprey]

Yes, and this would have been the end of the quarter. The timer for the Admiral's Choice recruit even expired at reset today... but they brought it back with the same officers and tacked one more week onto the timer? What the hell is going on?

[dreamy patio]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[burnt kelp]

just can;t wait for another "burn all you got for nothing" events

[late inlet]

Or .... complete these events, then get a token to buy the officer 🙄......

[burnt kelp]

Yeah i love it, when they advertise the last event "finish it to UNLOCk new officer" ... but they forget to say you still have to BUY it out

[late inlet]

I could have done that in the first place and saved hours of my life

Does Ferengie Store Currency carry over - Normal and Premium?

[dreamy patio]

it does not

[visual compass]

So Hammy was misinformed?
#💬-general-feedback message
#💬-general-feedback message
Or was he theory crafting with the community?`

[dreamy patio]

he was saying it would be a good idea, not that it's the case

[visual compass]

hm, poor choice of words - non native english speakers like myself can/could misread that... good to know

[white stone]

my theory is frengi bp is just the new stadard 2nd BP with its limited store. When they have the Real store they have a non feringi 2nd bp with more store loot.

[late inlet]

They really should be a single BP. But 2 means 2 elite to buy ...

The arc BP is ... uninspiring....

[white stone]

yes it means more possible sales for the same time period. but also means free stuff for F2P with a little more work.

[late inlet]

I saying same stuff, 1 BP

[white stone]

they could but that BP would need to be $ 40

[late inlet]

The ferengi BP is basically replacing event store, which was f2p before

So scooply just found a way to sell it

[white stone]

the feringi bp does not replace the event store it doesnt have everything. plus you did not get an event store every month before so you could not earn store currency. the bp is an extra on top and when a real event store happens currency will be in both bp not just the feringi.

[late inlet]

We only get half of what we could buy before

And I don't think you're gonna seen event store anytime soon

Anyhoo, I'm not here to argue about it

[white stone]

event stores used to be only end of arc and arcs would be 3months or longer. they also had dabo stores inbetween every now and then which were like the current feringi store. im assuming they just making those permanent as a 2nd bp and having event stores at different times.

[late inlet]

🙅‍♀️

[spare pollen]

So why isn't this complete?

[desert laurel]

Meta events/bp often have scoring delays. I'd wait a few and recheck or even reboot.

[spare pollen]

Took around 10mins but yes it updated

[warm sorrel]

it looks like the intention is for a ferengi mini store every month to replace the end of arc event stores, #💬-general-feedback message

[white stone]

that would be fine if everything was in the feringi store but its still missing stuff.

[warm sorrel]

I don't disagree, it would be one thing if the currency was going to carry over from month to month but if we are getting neutered event stores with unique currency each month, no new stuff in the stores, and the announcement for it was hidden away in a feedback channel, it all leaves a bad taste in the mouth

[white stone]

bad taste in your mouth is the standard scopley level. every step foward they do has to have 2 steps back.

[half sky]

was hammy correct in that there will no longer be any more end of arc event stores?

[white stone]

hammy leaving a little chaos before going on vacation.

[verbal iron]

Why is it that Monday Territory captures don't count toward the TC event because they end before Monday and don't start again until Wednesday?

[lusty coral]

Any word on if some random slb events will be thrown into this arc?

[brazen sandal]

Are we planning on getting a new wave season pass?

[worldly dune]

should be due in just over 10 hours...

[brazen sandal]

Oh awesome! 🤩 😎

[oak coyote]

Guys 👋 when can u refine rare transogen? Its forge lvl req or what?

[brave matrix]

There's nothing to write about. This month has had barely anything to do.

[inland hamlet]

Yeah wave defence pass we temporarily suspended it for 2 weeks because.....

[ornate nacelle]

So nothing to address player frustrations about the f2p squall vanishing for a week, while the bonus including bundle was in the store, then once it's gone, a patch to address the player concern goes out. Sadly, too little too late devs, the money I would have used went away when the bonus bundle did.

[undone dew]

You say that like you expect $copely to actually care about their players

[ornate nacelle]

nope, just their profits, which they have lost out on from a lot of people

[undone dew]

Most of the super whales are still spending so until that changes nothing in this game will change

[ornate nacelle]

eh, still thought they liked money, especially when all it would have taken is a "we'll fix this next patch"

[silent hedge]

Are they waiting until reset to show this or can we get it now?

[burnt kelp]

im pretty sure you gonna see all the events back from July, no worries, copy paste

means: grind, and spend materials 5days in a raw, in slb/sms

[visual compass]

yep, thats why i spend on the officer depot token slb instead 🤣 cant be bothered with the chronicles stress

[upbeat swallow]

no spending terran and borg credits in this SLB... 🙁

[upbeat owl]

Our Foundations of Power SLB has players from another server on it. XSLB's shouldn't start until 8/20. What's up?

[desert laurel]

SS?

[upbeat owl]

It is gone now.

[hallow ember]

So glad we got those transogen burn Exos pushed out so now every single mine in the game is packed full because they are not even close to sized enough to support the server populations.

[warm sorrel]

<@&509690795536941056> I noticed the Chronicles of the Ascendant event series doesn't have premium exchange tokens in its SLBs this month, does that mean the ferengi overflow is their only source?

[proven flame]

How long has lat rush only paid out rewards to the top 10?

[sand tendon]

Forever

[sage hollow]

what is the new battle pass under season pass?

ive updated everything still dont see what event needed to do that battle pass

[dreamy patio]

hostile hunt

[sage hollow]

the one that says retrieiving

its for that?

[dreamy patio]

that's for the wave pass

[sage hollow]

oh oh ok. good cool

thanks. haha. was worried

some random scopely terrible event

[dreamy patio]

bu that shouldn't be working properly, so making a note

[coarse herald]

"huge success"

[late inlet]

These events.......

[rare shoal]

Yo, SNW Black Ops Chapel Frame & Avatar says you can get it from events... But I haven't seen them in any event at all

ugh

[dreamy patio]

m'benga frame is in the paid track for the bp

[late inlet]

I got the Chapel frame

I didn't spend $100

[rare shoal]

Heh how then if you didn't spend on the elite BP pack?

[late inlet]

I'll check

I got the little BP

I think I did get it from an event

I tried it out but it made my head look huge

[formal spade]

chapel frame is from scotty's heroic, mbenga black ops frame is elite bp

[late inlet]

Does the frame make my head look huge?

[spark vine]

what is the better crew for aquatics ?

[white stone]

depends whats your goal? the loot or the tokens

[spark vine]

loot

[desert laurel]

Use the leslie punch up crew for one of the fuels.

And use an archer crew vs interceptors for the other.

[jovial owl]

Did i read correctly that the ferengi bp replaces the end of arc store? Which means paying for the elite pass to get a decent amount of rewards instead of getting it from events?

[frigid lily]

yuppers

[versed osprey]

they better be joking with that

[jovial owl]

So f2p shafted again.

[tight parcel]

Why o why exclude 60+ from these updates? Did I miss the explanation?

“Transogen Tempest Hazard Damage Reduced: Hazard damage in Transogen systems (Levels 32-60) has been reduced, making mining and combat more manageable.

Refinery Cost Adjustment: The 1x refining cost for Raw Common Transogen has been lowered for Commanders Ops Level 30-60, significantly reducing the needed time for daily refinement.”

[versed osprey]

Cause 60+ has access to hazard research

[tight parcel]

🙄 (meant at “them” not your info)
thanks for providing

[jovial owl]

Ops60 doesnt as far as i know (but i could be wrong). Hazard research is 61+.

[faint orbit]

The Sigma Repair Speed-Ups and the normal Sigma Speed-Ups almost look the same 😩 ... Can that be changed, so that it looks like the Non-Sigma Speed-Ups, please?

wc

[coral niche]

Please dont cross post Lako.

[jovial owl]

Where was the wandering warriors event hidden? Only just seen it in the completed events. Good event for latinum had i have known it was on. 🤨

[desert laurel]

Lingering completed event. It's been there for quite awhile now.

[jovial owl]

Even so, never saw when it was on and its not in the event list. Unless it been there pre-arc.

[sacred phoenix]

it was like 2 month ago at this point, I think

[desert laurel]

Open it up, and see if you scored in it.

[quiet tundra]

Hi guys! I'm not what you'd call...smart, but it appears that there should be a few more hours left to take the community quiz, but trying to use the command that others are using (not sure where it was stated to do that), it says the quiz is inactive

[sterile lagoon]

Chronicle of the Ascendant Events
August 12 - 17
A legendary journey begins. More details on August 12th from announcements!

Just wondering when this will appear and where <@&509690795536941056>

[desert laurel]

Today's the 13th, looks like it ended.

[desert laurel]

That event is running now.

Ops 20+.

[tacit tendon]

@desert laurel Here you are

[desert laurel]

Can they post a SS of the contents of one of their station packs in the cash shop?

[tacit tendon]

Something like this?

Or this

[desert laurel]

The yellow one, the ultra.

Yeah.

Thanks. While I will escalate this, it's late and the event almost certainly won't change before reset.

[tacit tendon]

To be fair, he's Ops 31, borderline 32. but I dont think that would change much

[desert laurel]

Their scoring cards look like they need a huge boost.

[tacit tendon]

That was the heroic but looking at their non heroic, I think that might be necessary but I'll let you decide via the info.

[desert laurel]

The slb is fine, everyone's using the same, poor scoring so no advantage to be gained there. The SMS is an issue, the difficulty is much too high.

[tacit tendon]

@desert laurel in my humble opinion, I think any events targeting sub 40 Ops players, should probably not include the 40+ factions

[violet hound]

It seems like many of the recent event issues would be explained by a few typo'd zeros in some generic powerscaling function. They just prefer to insist that the players are wrong instead of checking the code.

[quiet tundra]

thanks for the response, but post says it was until 12 PM PDT today should have 3+ hours left

[desert laurel]

Can you link the post indicating the end time?

[quiet tundra]

game notes.

only reason why I'm looking is that I got a flash of notifications again, and actually read them. did the fed day code, and saw there was (or should be) time left to try the quiz

[gaunt rune]

Hey Cand1e is it possible if you could check if the OPS 47 SMS rewards were reasonable, I'm just asking because I spent 1700 Epic Aug Exile creds for that event and got 2 of the milestones

[desert laurel]

I expect that they would check all of the segments.

[lost tulip]

They already promised this and we had to do more for less. So is it going to be even more for less again

[warm sorrel]

changes to flashpoint sound great, hope they work out as planned

[polar patio]

going to be interesting to see what limits the squall will have

[snow pine]

Is there a schedule for the Chronicles event? Just curious if they’re going to repeat buildings or research and I can’t remember how the last one went.

[warm sorrel]

some of them will repeat in the shattered alliance event series

[visual compass]

@desert laurel ops 34 picture of the foundation of power SMS
Only managed to score this much by saving up on FTs and protomatter

I dont even bother to do any research as the points for G3 materials is miniscule

[desert laurel]

Can you ss the 2nd-4th score cards?

[twin solstice]

Now that you've nerfed Transogen Mining space's Hazard %.. the value of the token space for it has been reduced. Increase the node sizes, increase the speed, or put back the %

[white stone]

why would you want it back? reducing the danage benifits everyone below G6. it doesnt reduce the value of tokens since thats still hazard free. though i do agree node size are a bit small especially if you have the squall.

[twin solstice]

Because in Mining SLB events it better separates people with weak ships and weak officers from those of us who have worked to not recklessly move up Ops

[white stone]

how does weak ships and weak officers have any effect on hazard damage? hazards do the same % of damage to your ship no matter how strong your ship is or officer (unless your G6 with hazard resitance or the squall)

[prisma plover]

Does anyone know what's going on with their Wandering Warriors event? I havent seen it for 2 Arcs now but they've got a finished SLB results in the back

[manic schooner]

Does the FKR Jump Drives include g6 ships too? Currently, I only see g3-g5 ships as the options.

[deep tangle]

<@&509690795536941056> seconding this ask, I assume it's a copy of the last set of Meta SLBs, but having it listed would help.

[versed osprey]

Its in the in-game news🤷

[deep tangle]

Chronicle of the Ascendent events list (minus the Meta SMS because monitor size)

posting it again despite the screenshot further up since they didn't put text so it's not searchable

[tranquil seal]

How many nesa bps can be claimed during sarris invasion event. I have eye patch tokens a lot.

[normal osprey]

60 per run

[warm sorrel]

imagine having sarris invasions, not stfc anymore

[boreal galleon]

the hurak invading entities SLB has ops70 in the same braket as ops50 :/

[indigo heron]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509690975057215489> Please give us one good reason to club entire G4, G5 and G6 into one bracket for this SLB. How is an ops40 supposed to compete with an ops70?

[boreal galleon]

you forgot about g4, i am in there too 🙁

[steel forum]

Geez thanks scopely for allowing us a total of 5 serene squall bps for the event 🤣

[indigo heron]

that's ridiculous

[boreal galleon]

ok, maybe ops 49 isnt, but 50 is

[indigo heron]

you got to get gud and compete with the ops70 🤡

[coral niche]

Very stingy, CD after 5 Squal bp.

[sage bronze]

I'm OPS 42 and I'm in there too. Fun to look at.

[burnt kelp]

it;s also really expensive... you need 1.5 mln to fully unlock the ship

[sage bronze]

To be fair, the ship only came out a week ago. So I wouldn’t have expected them to give it away cheap or easy.

[mint gale]

Yeah as a G4, I have 0 incentive to grind dropships after the SMS is done, which took no time at all. The SLB is pointless for me.

[tranquil seal]

What crew for hurak drop ship, I am just went lvl 42 week before and got only lvl 5 kelvin. No crew seems to work

Should they not take into account these minor thing into consideration

[idle stump]

It’s double sourcing though, not see that before, unless someone can correct me

[boreal galleon]

snw pike + snw anybody + harrison, paris below

[green crescent]

The ferengi daily domi event dont count.

[warm sorrel]

why is the invading entity SLB scoring on dropships? and why are there level 70s in my bracket? <@&509690795536941056>

[supple token]

still checkin on it

[boreal galleon]

but there are ops42, too 😛

[warm sorrel]

I'm fine with g4 that are helpless to compete against me, my issue is the g5/g6 I'm helpless to compete against 😝

[boreal galleon]

all those people are egoist, they only think about theirselves, only ME, i thnk about myself! 😛

[burnt kelp]

monthly 5 bps is like nothing, short the time of getting by maybe 10 days in summary, for a pretty expensive price

[desert laurel]

It's not monthly, it refreshes with the event series. It's running 2x this month.

[stray root]

The regular battlepass Domination event will score for Officer XP being used but the Ferengi Exchange Domination does not…..is that by purpose design or something by accident excluded….??

[burnt kelp]

u know the answer already :d

[burnt kelp]

awesome, even worse 😄 so 10 bps for a single month and probably not a dame in another : ) thx

[desert laurel]

Flashpoint is a regular event, you should expect it to run several times a month now.

[hexed gorge]

When they finally get it right 😝

[burnt kelp]

What is a good crew / best crew for this hostiles? im kinda tired of killing only 58 cause i can kill only 2x 60 with my maxed ENT D ....

[frozen abyss]

5 blueprints of the Squall per run of Flashpoints just feels so weak. Why couldn't they make it like the NSEA Protector, where it had a 22-hour cooldown and a higher limit on blueprints per day?

[small apex]

interesting choice to make the flashpoint SLBS worse. I thought it wasn't worth competing as an ops 42 against an ops 50s in brackets with 25 spots, instead of traditional SLB brackets, but now it's ops 40 to 70 in 1 bracket.

[rare verge]

So players buy the squall now they hand out bps like candy? 🤔🤔

[desert laurel]

The flashpoint sourcing is still slow, I wouldn't call it candy. That said, f2p hasn't unlocked it and doesn't have access to the parts exchange.

[burnt kelp]

Btw the Mbenga SMS is also awesome.. i have no clue how many ships i will need to be upgrade from scratch to hit 80 mln points, as im not willing to spend my g5-g6 materials for that

[lucid sinew]

Considering the event mixup will those that have spent currency to run armadas be given it back

[tranquil seal]

I don't have snw pike, others I do have them, any second options

[rugged zenith]

Trash points is still garbage just like the last 6 months of arcs. This game is not fun anymore. You don’t listen to player feedback. You just figure out how to add even more battle passes for less value.

[rugged zenith]

You made a mistake leveling ops. They never addr3ssed the complaints about how overturned the hostiles have been in the last few arcs and ms requirements for the 40s bracket. Good luck!

[warm sorrel]

I feel like we should give them credit where it is due. They've made a lot of changes to flashpoints to make them better for us, including guaranteed rare directives, and removing the IMS stages

[lost drum]

Maybe you need ship xp not offi xp 👀

[rugged zenith]

The number of hostiles for ms is still too high. The difficulty of the hostiles is still too high. The rng of the directive pulls was always untenable with the scoring.

[analog fiber]

Is this scoring for you guys?

[dreamy patio]

are you killing dropships?

[hollow badge]

We added BPs to the event store 5 buy limit 😒 garbage event is still garbage

[teal jungle]

where are the armada tokens you want us to use for this event?

[warm sorrel]

is it supposed to score on dropships? its name says otherwise

[dreamy patio]

You look at the scorecard not the name

[dreamy patio]

same place as before

[warm sorrel]

they fixed the rng of the directive pulls, and I can't really comment on the hostile difficulty as they haven't been that bad for me

[analog fiber]

That’s the only thing I’ve been hitting

[warm sorrel]

are you hitting them in the systems that were added? I recall that being a bug when those systems were introduced

[spark nest]

Oh great you have toxic red mining event, and the killer chaser event... but if you give us 300.00 you can complete them all, as you play for free on a 20.00 battle pass.

[rugged zenith]

5 blueprints at 7500 each is delusional

[analog fiber]

I am scoring in the ALB

But not in SLB

I don’t understand what’s going on.

[heady ivy]

Ship parts spend I thought, how lucky, I just scrapped my Rev. Ha! Went from tier1 to tier8 and that didn’t even get me 3M points. Okay, just I’ll break out the part that takes 5200 epic g5 plus some rare on the side. Woah, made it part way through the second milestone.

[idle stump]

I did 1-15 and that scored 7m

[heady ivy]

And where is the other43M points going to come from?

[analog fiber]

I am confused with the event, are we suppose to score off the dropship or the IE?

[heady ivy]

It literally says drop ships. Dropship Demolition is the name of the event.

[analog fiber]

SLB saying invasion entity

[warm sorrel]

the name of the SLB is Flashpoint: Hurak Invading Entities SLB, but it scores on the Hurak Dropships

[analog fiber]

Some people are scoring off the dropship

[warm sorrel]

what system are you grinding in?

[analog fiber]

There’s a disconnect with the event

[heady ivy]

The invading entities are the armadas. Need to kill both for separate events.

[analog fiber]

I know but people are scoring off the dropships

That’s what I am trying to say

[bitter vector]

@supple token could we get a listing of the events within the Flashpoint series please?
There’s the overall dates in the calendar, and the post about the change to the events, but no actual details of the different SMS that will run daily that I can find..
Would be great to know what’s coming next few days:)
cheers 🍻

[hexed lark]

@dreamy patio why is the ferengi event missing officer intel?

[dreamy patio]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

raised it though

[inland hamlet]

I know right,
" Increased payouts", exactly same as last run.
So where is the increased payouts, bracketing also worse for slb, from top 25 for 2 ops banding same rewards, but now they've included ops 61 through 70 top 25 payout, , we have 23, ops 70 alone and in total over 450 between ops 61 and 70. And payout top 25 for slb..
Really just pointless,

[dull pagoda]

Yall remember when they said they were going to make events so people could stop hoarding for secret event drops?

[smoky brook]

#⭐-official-announcements message c'mon... i just did 11 rares and 2 epic about 30 min ago...

[warm sorrel]

the restart already happened (and I think the comp chest just went out), and the SLB is for dropships (despite the name)

[normal oar]

Question about Flashpoint events. I've finished the 24hr SMS for entities. Are there going to be other 24hr events in the coming days? Or are the events we have today all there will be for this invasion?

[smoky brook]

hm... thanks!

[warm sorrel]

@dreamy patio thank you for fixing the name of the SLB

[indigo heron]

<@&509690795536941056> @waxen valley Can we get a confirmation that there is no SLB for Hurak Solo Vanguards and Honorguards on day 2 or 3 for Damage Points? the schedule here doesnt specify each day events >> #⭐-official-announcements message

[dreamy patio]

waiting to hear back about additional events

[native cave]

Now I have zero score in the Dropship SLB.....Scopely'd

[dreamy patio]

The slb was reset and a comp chest sent out

[inland hamlet]

Yaffected players so everyone got the same? Or where you were in slb at the time?

[dreamy patio]

everyone 40+ got 17k currency

[inland hamlet]

My alb says I've scored over 230k slb has me at 67k but sure
Give currency to those who hadn't scored B4 was taken down, and now those affected have to do more.
Yet everyone got comp.
But sure can't possibly run a script to match

[hasty nest]

Please explain how ops 40 whit G3 ship is supposed to kill 4 such armadas? Please only geniuses answer!

[winter quarry]

@dreamy patio y’all really need to open the taps on sigma speed ups. Really hard to complete that ship building one when people only if they’re lucky get 3d a day if that and you need them to tier ships

[dreamy patio]

MU surveys are your friend.

[normal oar]

Announcement states the calendar has been updated. Where is the calendar?

[stable escarp]

Does the latest scopely screw up mean we need to mine again tomorrow?😳

And, how badly has flashpoint been planned and programmed for 2 months? Worst effort since start of game? If there’s something worse I’d love to know what it was

[novel marsh]

You had to do you?
They will defo go worse

[stable escarp]

Honestly don’t think anything can be worse than flashpoint. Poorly planned, poorly coded, endless mistakes, the list goes on. To be honest, I’d rather them keep the (endless) compensation chests and actually get the game to work so players enjoy it. Having just retired as an IT product manager, it ain’t rocket science.

[dreamy palm]

If I do the "Invading Entities" am I going to have to grind targs again to get more directives when they run it again?

[rancid yoke]

Gotta say good job add the squall to the event store with a limit of 5 bp 👀

[static wigeon]

How does this possibly make sense!?

[nocturne shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/schitts-creek-alexis-rose-taking-care-of-that-many-is-like-a-full-time-job-full-time-gif-23713892

[nova moss]

Anyone know when the hijacked faction refits will be returning to the event stores

[spark vine]

what is the best crew for hurak vanguard ?

[nova moss]

Dajash Tolra, Toli, Gwen Demarco

[spark vine]

thx

[spark vine]

and BDA ?

[teal jungle]

when is next tournament

[spark vine]

alliance tournament ? idk sorry

[minor oriole]

Admiral's recruit replacement? Will they announce the new officers or what?

[dreamy patio]

don't think there will be any new ones

[rare verge]

Ok so where are we getting the directives from ,ast time we had milestones to hit to achieve a chance to claim

I’m not seeing any events etc to get any?

[dreamy patio]

Every pull has at least 1 rare start now

every box that is

[bitter vector]

Really? Which calendar has been updated ? Still no actual calendar of the Flashpoint events…
At least good to know there is mining again this evening, I can keep my ship in token for the day…

[zinc hinge]

Epic Revenant parts are only worth 2 pts each?

[jovial owl]

Any idea what tomorrows spend event will have? Or will it just be more officer depot tokens?

[burnt kelp]

i would bet - ferengi tokens

[zinc hinge]

I did the same thing. I was hoping the 2 pts for Epic Revenant parts was a typo. But, it scored only 2 pts per part...161k epic parts scored 322k. 🙄

[rich oracle]

balancing should have been made on hostiles and loot not on goals... still frustrating to hit 58 for effective farming, as ops 62 , and loot is still so bad, I wont be able to poll even one exchange chest to get direktives without endless grinding...so , will have to skip this again

[zinc wyvern]

Did the treasury lockbox end earlier than intended, or did I mess up the times?

[frigid lily]

its still open

[molten elm]

The whole thing is a nightmare. Used most of my old G5 mats on last weeks events so nothing left for standard ships. I don’t hoard stuff so nothing to upgrade on the speciality side. Until I hit another tier on my G6 rare I can’t tier my cube. The points allocation is bizarre.

[desert laurel]

If you tend to fill the 700 pts quickly, then you should know that once that happens, you only get 3d to open it.

[snow widget]

I won't be able to end the event due I maxed some support ships and I don't have enough 6* mats and parts 4*/5* to upgrade 4*/5* ships

[dull pagoda]

WOK part 1 had weeks of game breaking lag, and that is and will forever be the worst arc ever

[zinc wyvern]

Thanks for the reply, but I must say that I find everything around the treasury lockbock very confusing. No in-game transparency on how the rewards are scaled, why the timers are so bizarre, why desealing rods exist when you can also open the lockbox directly using 4000 broken desealing rods, no in-game info that a desealing rod can only be used for the current treasury... It would be helpful if scopely were to rework that event

[burnt kelp]

they want you to pay. simple, rise frustration, so you have to open your wallet

[coral niche]

Came to second tier on the ship spend event. After giving everything I got. Luckily I had spent my epic Rev parts, as scoring of em is a slap in the face.

[spare pollen]

What's with the scaling for these armadas? The 60 ones are way too easy and pay out nothing for my Ops, but at the same time, 66 are so hard I think you would need to be Ops 70 with the Epic Ship. nothing in between.

[uncut vale]

66 rare/t15 cube can handle the 66s. Even 99% of 70s can’t do a 70. Most everyone punches down on them🤷🏻‍♂️

[spare pollen]

We tried last time, Dog, I can't I haven't maxed all my G6 Armada research but other than that I am not sure what else I can do

[uncut vale]

Ahhh yes. Definitely research artifacts

[spare pollen]

I am working a them, but I am no Wallet warrior, so it takes time.

[uncut vale]

I saw a 70 go boom on a 66 epic yesterday for what it’s worth 😂

50b krencha😂

[spare pollen]

See that says more than enough they Over power them

[uncut vale]

It’s not just you. They hurt. And their description isn’t accurate. Don’t let anyone tell ya different

[polar patio]

there are also 63s

[spare pollen]

They are Epic from what I saw

[polar patio]

check the 62 side system (orkan alpha)

[spare pollen]

Ok I will thanks

Also, do we need to do all of this today or over 3 days?,

[polar patio]

the event seems to go 4 days, so i'd say 3 more days 😄

[spare pollen]

Just worried the 3 hours runs out and it meant for today and restarts again.

But thanks

[polar patio]

that wouldn't be intended then, but can happen given their track record

[spare pollen]

right

Well, the 62 side system does have Rare, so thanks.

[polar patio]

good luck (you'll need it)

[spare pollen]

I can do the 63 ones it's 66 and up I cant

[polar patio]

i needed a bit of trickery for the 63s, only had my trusty dderi tho

[uncut vale]

Over 3 days. Chances are high for some regional slb that goes with it. Definitely hold off imo

We will get scoplied😂

Or some ALB one

[old edge]

Is the ISS Jelly Pursuit event still a thing? If so, any idea when the next event might show up?

[uncut vale]

Far as I know it is. Not sure when though

[snow widget]

I could scrap my revenant and use the uc parts, but I would do a bad action being t9

[uncut vale]

I scrapped a rev a few times last month. Just remember you can’t shake the skin that gives parts efficiency. So not a ton of points. But can scrap at lvl 1 over and over and get blueprints each time. No need to level up each time if you have extra parts

Nuke option 😂

[snow widget]

I won't do that why I did it at level 25 when I had the first refit. I would have second refit already but I won't do crazy ideas due to money hunger of Scopely

[uncut vale]

Just pointing out the nuke option 😀

[azure pulsar]

Love how we do all these eclipse armadas only to not get the credits for them.

[molten elm]

So i have a maxed rev. If I build a second, will I get the big scrapping rewards again?

[uncut vale]

Not that I’m aware. No

Didn’t work with other ships as far as refinery goes. NX01 in particular

Had a 2nd somehow and built before first was maxed. Never reset refinery

[molten elm]

Yeah that would be too much like adding an incentive for players to help them progress…. Silly me 😂

[coral niche]

Is Chronicle of Ascendant part of the revamp of Flashpoint? Second heroic sms just started which I can never complete.

[karmic eagle]

I've completely skipped the Chronicle stuff. I get a milestone here or there, but at upper g6, most of the scoring isn't stuff I can hit.

[weary dune]

What's the event for each day of the week?
Edit:
Monday - Latinum Rush
Tuesday - Tech Tuesday (kill hostiles + Q Trials and Forbidden Upgrades)
Wednesday - Final Weapon (use FKR armada directives and kill hostiles, and op40+ kill Xindi Aquatic and Reptilians)
Thursday - Cube/Cut It Down (kill hostiles, extra points for using the Borg)
Friday - Voyaging Beyond (kill Hirogens or use the Astrometrics Scan)
Saturday - Cosmic Clean Up
Sunday - Swarms, and for op45+ NSEA (kill Mirror Universe hostiles)

[honest whale]

Hello- Flashpoint transogen mining sms isnt scoring, is there somewhere on this discord I can report?

[copper onyx]

<@&509690795536941056> So this Flashpoint 'mea culpa' is all very well, but where is it leading? I mean I'm an Ops 44, and yet I can't hit the 44 Augment Exiles, and although I can hunt the 44 Suliban and Transoban enemies... the lowest R45 Invading Entity versions are so extreme, I'm not sure why you are even suggesting the SMS/SLBs to us?

[stable laurel]

Question regarding Chronicle event today. Bonus points Armadas - you clearly state G6 FKR armadas, what about the others? Anything? Borg, Dom, Cardi, Krenim, Eclipse? just curious before I spend directives

[dreamy patio]

It means rare epic fkr armadas, and the g6 solos

regular slos don't count

[stable laurel]

k, thank you

[opal mantle]

Is there going to be a flashpoint invasion?

[devout pelican]

The MBenga event today says Rare or Epic directives but doesn't clarify which ones, seems Borg Solo don't could so which ones do?

[dreamy patio]

FKR

[dull pagoda]

Hurak not spawning for anyone else?

[quartz ibex]

They are slower to come back but eventually do… probably a trick to make your buffs expire before you can do a bunch in a row

[dull pagoda]

Well I got booted from game several times afterwards as well so I’m thinking games just 💩 itself

[quartz ibex]

Oh that’s standard lol I get kicked out of solo waves as soon as it starts so I waste my directives lately

[charred relic]

Scopely, please remove „Improve Ships No. 1“ from the SLB. It was in yesterday and should not be in today!

[finite bough]

So far I’ve tried Solo=does not count, and Cardassian=DOES count. Curious about others.

[finite bough]

I don’t think any solos count. Only group.

[stable laurel]

Arsenic Touch told me only FKR, Cardis always work for spend FKR

[finite bough]

That makes sense! Thanks.

[burnt kelp]

that includes G6 solos

[cobalt chasm]

Wonder if that 4hr peace shield following maintenance will actually be 4hrs or maybe it serves its purpose after 2hrs? 😂

[dense needle]

I'm having trouble joining the hurak armada.

[late inlet]

Anyone having issues with armadas respawn?

And yes, I know about killing hostiles to be sure there is room

[paper venture]

The first part just on armada just says rare etc, is it still only FKR only like the others say?

[dreamy patio]

only fkr directives

[paper venture]

Thx

[violet salmon]

Hello, after seeing the GM video message, i was not sure if there will be another flashpoint invasion event this month or the running one is last before they enhance it. Anyone can confirm? @dreamy patio thx

[dreamy patio]

The current series will run to completion and then it will be on pause

[violet salmon]

Thanks.

[dreamy patio]

It doesn't show until you start.

Also, please do not post screenshots of support conversations here.

before starting.

after starting

[prisma plover]

Good Evening folks. Would anyone be able to tell me when the hostile count cap resets? I thought it reset at dailies.

[dreamy patio]

it resets at 5 am utc, 7 minutes ago

[prisma plover]

Ah thank you. I'll try again. ✌

[dreamy patio]

you can click on your avatar in the top left corner and it will show you the time in UTC

[prisma plover]

😅 I never noticed that before, definitely noted. Thank you very much again

[whole burrow]

anyone know if an event for spending Flashpoint Event Store Currency will run soon? got enaugh for the fleet preset and not sure if its worth waiting ...

[dreamy patio]

There is no spend event

The current events for flashpoint are it, except for the daily sms which will change

[dull pagoda]

Games still borked I see

[dull pagoda]

Always save or else some secret heroic event will surprise you, arsenic can only go off of what is known, when very frequently there is unknown introduced

[uncut vale]

No more flashpoint chests after this month. Yay Hurak tags

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-stewie-funeral-rose-rip-gif-20602307

[polar patio]

all that grinding and for what?

https://tenor.com/view/dark-helmet-spaceballs-roommate-rick-moranis-absolutely-nothing-gif-16053850722229686774

[rose pulsar]

the final synthesys event is symbiosys or a ship upgrading only event?

[fathom dirge]

It’s absolutely horrid that I did a Triple-pull of the Targ Tag loot and didn’t get a single Epic armada directive.
That is terrible and must be changed in the redesign of the event.
Directives should not be subject to RNG !!!

[late inlet]

So spend the Flashpoint tokens?? Is that what is happening??

[uncut vale]

By end of next run next week I believe. Armadas, everything. When they return I’m guessing they will still be good, but it’s all about the now imo

[late inlet]

I didn't watch the video

[uncut vale]

I’ll be staring at 6b hurak takes forever I’m guessing 😂

[uncut vale]

They said flashpoint is on hold. That’s Hurak 💩

[late inlet]

So no way to spend it.

[late inlet]

' on hold '. Sounds permanent.

[uncut vale]

I don’t get it. All they had to do was adjust the milestones some. Weird to put on hold 🤷🏻‍♂️

They could have worked on it in the meantime

We have 1 more run to cash in, but then again, this is Scopley🙈

We are at the point we can’t trust anything in game.

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-future-difficult-to-see-future-yoda-training-gif-1692448634681694511

[burnt kelp]

Well the last SMS The Final Synthesis is a joke with its milestone... i would have to progress with 2 ops to hit the 172 mln milestone... that means there is no way to finish the grand event ... thanks scopely for your "sorry video" ...

[molten elm]

<@&509690795536941056> are your event folks delusional or just incredibly bad at their job?? I’m going to guess both

[distant ether]

Does anyone know where to get the new Pike Avatar?

[dull pagoda]

That’s assuming there’s even a way to spend ANY g5 epic loot or that much g6 unc

[molten elm]

Honestly the events over the last 2 weeks I’ve built and upgraded every ship I can and completely exhausted the mats. Throttled on G6 by ship parts and sigma speed ups for buildings. There is literally nothing I can do and even if I could, I wouldn’t given the reward. There’s no way any of the folks there actually play or even have a basic understanding of the game

[unique path]

<@&509690795536941056> Are you TOTALLY out of your mind? As a L63 player you want me to spend 172 M worth of mats to finish the SMS and the Meta?

Your sorry video is SOOO ridiculous and laughable in view of these targets, I am glad I only watched a few secs, because your are so untrustworthy and inauthentic - outright liars.

"We are so sorry!" - NO, you are NOT! 🤬

[nocturne cave]

soloes always count.. except not when u actually do them with 3 ships.. its a bug.. if us use more ships

[dull pagoda]

Anyone getting the spicy phone again from the game?

[dreamy patio]

No they don't always count

The event was FKR directives and FKR solos

[nocturne cave]

if stated they count. just not score because of the bug

[dreamy patio]

again, not a bug

[worthy ocean]

I second the above... SERIOUSLY!? Are you having a dumpster fire over at Scopely? Cause you all have to be out of your minds to make this 174m

The correct top bracket should have around 87m if your asking me.

[uncut vale]

Reduce the shards some,lower the goalposts 🙈

[half sky]

If they had a literal dumpster fire they would probably not know how to deal with it and have to ask AI for help like they do with programming

[honest forum]

try doing it at level 70 where you have nothing left to spend it on...

[sonic agate]

absolute shame on scopley to put the bar so high in the last part of the chronicle of the ascendant, its been spending almost every day and the last part 173.4m resourses are you nuts!! We have had another level 69 player just quit. These events with the ridiculous flashpoint events will be your downfall. players are not impressed by all this incompetence

[honest forum]

even if you have somewhere to spend the materials.. the 14k rare it takes to finish that cost around 500 bucks.. Appears they are really sorry .. 🤣

[honest forum]

3 of the top 8 accounts on my server are inactive dead accounts now.. I am not sure if its sad or funny at this point.

[late inlet]

It would only be half that if you spend G6R.

[dull pagoda]

This is why spend events are on the weekends, because scopely is off of work

[late inlet]

And heavy drinking 🍸 is frowned 🙁 upon during the week. So I'm told .....

[honest forum]

heavy drinking is required to enjoy this game these days...

[late inlet]

Do I even need M'Balala? Does he have super powers?

[dreamy patio]

https://tenor.com/view/head-nod-good-idea-correct-i-think-so-i-believe-it-gif-26045500

[late inlet]

Since Flashpoint isn't going to continue...

[late inlet]

@dreamy patio will the buying restrictions be removed so we can spend the Flashpoint tokens??

[dreamy patio]

No idea

[final otter]

Literally the day after your GM says we are going to do better you have any event that almost 200k epic or 600k rare g5 materials to complete and it's not an slb. Guess do better means fleecing people out of more money. At 56 I don't there's enough stuff to build research and upgrade ships including building all 3 epics at to complete this event. We'll done $copley well done 👏 🤣

[late inlet]

I thought you were some kinda manager or something

[uncut vale]

I can’t think of an officer he can replace below decks honestly 10% at tier 5.
Yep, he can replace Joachim or pic Hugh 🤔

😂😂

He wasn’t meant as a good below decks. Mainly his officer ability. And no doubt it can help, but when🤷🏻‍♂️

[late inlet]

Maybe if they worked on all IE

[minor oriole]

Anything released on the admiral's recruit?

[late inlet]

Flashpoint officers with no Flashpoint don't do much

[molten elm]

Ah yeah, that’s easier I’ll just pop on and complete it then 😂

[late inlet]

Glad I could help.

This chat is actually more fun than the game itself.

[analog fiber]

I really don’t understand these milestones, before today I was praising how good chronicle of the ascendant events were. Scopely complete did a 180

[dreamy patio]

The last event for part 1 was like this too

[deep steeple]

Seems live ops didn't see the message from the GM about making events easier

Milestones are way out of my range so another one to skip

[dreamy patio]

Note that the message from the GM was for moving forward, not the current iteration, which they said was going to run and finish like normal.

[white stone]

they were high but not this high

[deep steeple]

They've adjusted milestones before when they've been too high on the day

[glossy hawk]

The Final Synthesis last month had double the score for materials spent at the current generation. Keeping the milestones the same score while halving the points scored for materials is just a bad design.

[burnt kelp]

they did, GM said "we gonna do it in september"
There is still almost half of month to squezee us from money as players 😄

[opal mantle]

So will there be a CotA SMS on Monday?

[faint musk]

No mining IMS this time, we finished stage one and nothing else?

[dreamy patio]

This is it for this run

well part 1 of this run, still have the 28th -31st

[formal wyvern]

Did y'all make the dropships harder than last time?
I was able to kill 2 level 40 last run.. this time only one!!! ....even a +80% explorer damage exocomp, support ship buffs, cloaking... nothing makes it any better.
Same ship, exactly same crew.

[visual compass]

do this with G3 materials

[night marsh]

Scopely is being completely unrealistic about the amount of mats it would take to complete that heroic. Over a million 5* dont even wanna do the math for 3* and 4*. Even 6* is too much. God knows how many packs a wallet class would even have to buy to do their bracket. It seems like scopely really is trying to shut down the game with their unreasonably high demands. Please scopely, sell the game to wildcard before you completely tank it

[faint musk]

300k G6

[lusty junco]

right? maybe if I saved g6 for a year?

[faint musk]

I think i have 200k Total uncommen G6, but every i need is RARE so unless i go and build like 10 Uncommen g6 ships, no chance

[ornate nacelle]

Is the hazard exo time limited gift? I don't see a time remaining on claiming my last ones, but that rarely means anything

[dreamy patio]

Don't think it had a limited time, just limited pull

[brazen sandal]

Any idea when the next alliance tournament is? Trying to figure what I need to stock up on

[dreamy patio]

No date given yet

[dull pagoda]

Did they nerf jelly scrapping? I’m only getting common g5 mats

[dreamy patio]

did you remember to level it up?

[dull pagoda]

It’s 2 jelly’s now at 60

[dull pagoda]

It’s been awhile since I’ve scrapped one, I guess the point was to scrap jelly’s to scrap korinars and valdores

[dreamy patio]

Jelly scrap loop with enough efficiencies, you get back more 4* material then you put into it

[dull pagoda]

Solid year without scrapping one so I guess I just forgot

[dull pagoda]

Really horrible and predatory events this month tho, constant spend or “just don’t do it” including domination ticket events not once, which whale discord said we’re sorry we’ll release a separate event, but TWICE, plus the eclipse ticket that was also canned

The we’re sorry video is becoming increasingly obvious to me that once the paramount merger goes through this game is done, I think monopoly go has made 5 billion and stfc is in the hundreds of millions. Gone gone gone

[smoky spear]

I mean i kinda like the events tho not much to do

Can be more chill most of the sms were doable without spending grade "mats "

[pine fiber]

do we know what the final flashpoint sms will be after reset? mining again?

[uncut vale]

Yes. Should be mining today

[dull pagoda]

There was 5 days of heroic SMS’s that if you didn’t hoard everything for a month at least you could touch, finalized with an impossible mat spend sms

If you mean there wasn’t much to do because the events were undoable, I agree. And I did 4 of the heroics

[glacial fjord]

Last day mat spend is just 🙈🤬

[indigo heron]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> Can we get a clarification that the next run of flashpoint this month which is scheduled from Aug 28th to 31st and starts after the main arc event ends, is also cancelled/postponed indefinitely and the store will also not run until the flashpoint reworked events are back? (The video said flashpoint will stop after the arc ends).

[dry flicker]

Just to give context on the 172m mats sms

• Building and Maxing a 5* epic ship: 40m
• Going from Operation 65 to 66 (all building) : 80m

By that math, I need to build 2 epic 5* ship and and all my 65 buildings!!! totally insane!

are we expected to do this every weekend or even TWICE a week now? <@&509690795536941056>

at least add the faction credit to the mix instead of just mats

[uncut vale]

If you are not the 2-3%, they don’t care

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> question. did the Borg cube become considered a tier 6 battleship at tier T15? does the research that says it works on a tier G6 battleship apply to it?

[prime hinge]

To the best of knowledge, no. It is classified as a G4 ship and only receives buffs according to that.

[uncut vale]

It’s a G4 ship always

[prime hinge]

This has been brought up about many times before and they said they would take the suggestion of level adjust under advisement

[pliant mural]

Hurak Invading Entities not respawning

[quartz ibex]

Yeah that’s a good point—unless his ability is modified to work for all armadas / invading entities he is just a curiosity after tomorrow 🤣

[warm sorrel]

flashpoints are just being paused, like incursions and arena were paused for a while, and his lower decks skill should still be useful

[quartz ibex]

Yeah I mean their whole original pitch was the Cube grows with your largest ship so it should become whatever your largest ship class is, be it g4 g5 g6 g7. Then again, simple Suliban Transports are immune to the Borg Cube which would have made all of TNG and Voy shows redundant and the universe would have become a Suliban protectorate since the so called biggest bad enemy could be thwarted by parking a few Suliban transports in each system and all races paying protection money to the Suliban—they wouldn’t need a time war, just transport production facilities 🤪

[quartz ibex]

So you are saying spending a gazillion rss to get crew who does NOT have any regular sourcing (ie will stay at t1 forever like Tal) and only has a mid range belowdecks ability is somehow acceptable? Are you interested in a nice bridge in Brooklyn btw? 😜

[warm sorrel]

I'm saying he's not useless outside of flashpoints, how ever much you value that is up to you

[weary dune]

Does Anomalous Phenomena happen in other days too or only Sunday (and every Sunday iirc)?

[dreamy patio]

every sunday

[crystal inlet]

I wish they would just combine the flashpoint and transogen tags so BO MBenga / SNW Scotty are useful even when events aren’t running.

[warm sorrel]

maybe its just me, but the lower decks shield regen seems like a more desirable thing than officer iso defense given that wok joachim exists. And Scotty is a better Rutherford who still saw some use. Plus Flashpoints were supposed to be a repeating thing going forward, like when we used to have sarris invasions every month

[crystal inlet]

I’ve made great use of Seska on the bridge this update. I’m very intrigued by that BD ability as well. I just don’t know how much it moves the needle at a low tier. 2% for T1 BO MBenga… 12% for T1 Seska

[karmic vault]

I don't have Blackops M'benga yet, but I was under the impression that "Flashpoint Invading Entities" applied to the other Invading Entities as well. It's really a distinction that's in the text but not on the backend.

[warm sorrel]

that would be nice if true

[karmic vault]

I mean, I use Dajash Tolra on the flashpoint invading entities and she'll trigger the extra shots.

[crystal inlet]

The other invading entities aren't flashpoint though, so I hightly doubt they'll apply to Chimera and Krenim

[karmic vault]

Now, whether or not I'd still use BO M'Benga on the other invading entities, I kind of doubt...

He overlaps with WOK Joachim, and his below decks kind of sucks.

[crystal inlet]

Ignoring the fact that they don't work on the other IEs...

You do get two ships on the Krenim so if he did work I could see the argument if you're using two ships. In theory if you're able to get him to T5 one day, he will be better than Joachim as well. Its just a question of if the oppritunity cost of losing that bridge slot / synergy is worth it to you.

The below deck ability is scaled really poorly for MBenga... 2% at T1 is worse than what I get from starpath research with Kim.

12% at max will be unobtainable for a long time...

[karmic vault]

Yeah, probably not even available to the big $$$ spenders.

[crystal inlet]

And honestly for those of us who its most useful for (G3-G4 who haven't maxed Joachim through superior).... Seska is more easily obtainable, and provides far more benefit at a low tier (and is easier to tier up)

[north prawn]

As a level 56, the mats sms for me is 100.84M

• Going from Operations 56 to 60 (all buildings): 78M
• Rotarran from tier 1 - 7: 18M
  After all that I would still be short by almost 5 million.
  Ridiculous.

[split crescent]

No one was complaining over 100 components. Sooooo many other things. Soo many

[limpid elk]

As ops64 I had to max all 3 rare g5 miners(0-12), max g5 fed rare(0-12), rotaran t1-7, selkie t6-8 and some more building upgrades as usual. Ending up with 181mio

[late inlet]

Like when I took a break from dance lessons, learning to ride a unicycle, speaking with a British accent, the Atkins diet. I'm just pausing ...

[warm sorrel]

both arenas and incursions started again, no reason to think we won't be getting flashpoints back eventually

[late inlet]

What about my dance lessons?

[warm sorrel]

don't project your issues on scopely, if there is one thing they are good at its sticking with a bad idea

[late inlet]

Chill, I'm just teasing

[night marsh]

That's alot even at g6

[sturdy tulip]

Where can I get Ferengi premium tokens?

[leaden spoke]

Money or the Ferengi Pass overflow sms

[sturdy tulip]

Thx 👍

[burnt kelp]

You still have to buy the BP of ferenge. As there is no EXCHANGE button

[zinc wyvern]

Will the Flashpoint Event Store Currency carry over to future events?

[fiery compass]

yes, flashpoint currency is saved between flashpoint runs

[glass whale]

...arenas bugged out.

[uncut vale]

All these Screenshots. Looks like a party 🎉

[sage bronze]

Katonda & Uuuhai @everyone

[restive timber]

so, today's arc mission requires the Serene Squall to complete?

[charred jetty]

which mission are you guys talking about?

[warm sorrel]

you only need the Serene Squall for epic transogen, the mission is asking for common

[scarlet osprey]

It is misleadingly worded. You don't need the SS to complete it.

[restive timber]

I mined common using Selkie and it didn't count

[scarlet osprey]

If you hit that "Locate" button, there's a mission marker in that system. You don't mine, you just send a ship there.

[restive timber]

Sigh, reading is hard

[rare verge]

Stuck on this?

Mission marker just shows my home system?

[warm sorrel]

mine 3 more common transogen

[upbeat swallow]

Demm (52) has common

Hoskk is where the mission takes you

also

doing this mission atm lol

[spring umbra]

Is it only me or the Trivia is not scoring

[rare verge]

Mine 3 more 🤔 oh I think I may have tried that and it’s broken

[warm sorrel]

there was an earlier step to go to a location and obtain transogen from the serene squall, this step is to mine the transogen yourself

its working because you have credit for 12 of the 15 you need

[rare verge]

Correction it was working it doesn’t matter if I mine more it’s not adding to it

[upbeat swallow]

where you mining it?

[quartz crescent]

read again or use translator for mission

[opal mantle]

I wonder what percentage of the player base actually completed this

[quartz crescent]

nobody shared trivia till now ? 🤨

#💫-event-information

[manic schooner]

Could anyone kindly let me know what the blue sentence is saying? 🙏🏾

[dreamy patio]

Ahead of the curve sms

[manic schooner]

It's really frustrating, to be honest, when they use colored font that one cannot read easily due to low contrast.

[opal zephyr]

Anyone have triva answers?

[dreamy patio]

#💫-event-information

[charred jetty]

1 - A 2 - B

[opal zephyr]

Ty sir 👍

[normal venture]

Where do i got answer the quizzes?

[dry flicker]

2 post up!!!

[normal venture]

Ty but how to select the answer

I dont know where to click

[dreamy patio]

Complete the action for the answer

[normal venture]

Ahh oki. Thank you

[tired condor]

@charred jetty it doesn't work. What did you do?

[dreamy patio]

It does work, go to the system and kill a hostile

[tired condor]

I killed everyone 😫

arena

[wintry turret]

Just to show how wrong and bad designed the last SMS was.

[tidal viper]

So ur telling me I need the serene squall to do the new flashpoint mission?

[hardy geyser]

the mission says "obtain from the serene squall"
story vise you are supposed to meet with the ship. Just press the locate button and fly to that destination

[visual compass]

The SMS for G3 was just doodoo. Only got one SMS complete because I saved up on officer depot token

[opal mantle]

I don’t know of a single player that competed it

Ugh, and I wonder why I can never advance in this mode

[nimble scarab]

your best chance is to pair up with at least 1 player who is 4 ops levels bellow you, so he can initiate the arena squad ; that way, you have a big chance that all your oponents will be at the most 5 ops levels above the squad leader. But sometimes, accidents will happen 🤷‍♂️

[opal mantle]

Players shouldn’t have to game the system or micromanage it to get a fun and fair game mode

The matchmaking has been awful from the start and hasn’t shown any consistent signs of improvement

[nimble scarab]

I agree. Then again, a lot of us are here mostly because of the online friendship we have with other people, more than for the passion for Star Trek, nowadays.

[nimble scarab]

Well during the first 2 months it was easier to cheat the system, but now, with 🐳 being rank 60.000+ in arenas, if they are of similar ops level to your own, chances of victory are slim at best.

I mean, have a look at what was posted in #💣-arena-feedback over the past few hours. Total awe for players who can punch up much higher than their ops level, however.....well just have a look and you'll see what I mean. Even when it comes to players of similar/same ops level 😢

[frigid estuary]

They should've done some ELO shenanigans for arena, it's painful to get in

[sacred scarab]

I see Arenas matchmaking is as good as ever . . .

[pale rain]

Got them all done except the final spend sms I didn't even attempt. 176 mil points is just ridiculous and I haven't spent anything at all in months

Motivation to even log in is gone idk what they expect to do to get people interested again

[opal mantle]

So far no one has weighed in and said that they’ve completed it. It does seem like the developers don’t even play the game.

[sudden stirrup]

I have 2 questions regarding the event

1- is this the end of arc event for the snw event?

2- is the only way to get ship parts, blueprints, etc. for this event to spend money on it?

[subtle echo]

Sooooo we need a Serene Squall to source Serene Squall Blueprints?
Do better Scopely !!!

[hexed lark]

I have the elite ferngi pass, why are there no elite tokens in there at all?

Not listed anywhere in the track.

[pine laurel]

I got no TC points for capture tonight for some reason.

And my 1st arena efforts 2 weeks ago, was a complete shut out. My team was up against extremely experienced pvpers, and stood no chance. Not exactly looking forward to another unbalance like that.

[pale rain]

Couple 70's on my server completed the final sms but other than that no one scored enough points

What their score was for the whole thing idk

[pale rain]

No just mine 15 with anything. I did it with a selkie

[pine laurel]

My Territory points shows as Zero. Never saw this before.

7 of 8 ships in for 30 minutes.

[fiery compass]

you don't

hit the locate button

[oak matrix]

how do we mine this when we don't own the serene ? Tried to mine with regular miner but doesn't register.. <@&509690795536941056>

[dreamy patio]

click locate

it says from, not with

[wet gust]

Anyone know if there will be another Flashpoint event (next arc)? Asking so I can determine if I should save my Flashpoint currency for the Fleet preset or ‘use it or lose it’

[dreamy patio]

will be one more at the end of the month, and then it will be paused for the foreseeable future

28th to the 31st

[inland hamlet]

No you need to meet the serene squall at the locate coordinates to get transogen

[inland hamlet]

Click locate, travel to location where story serene squall is, and do next part ofission

[worldly dune]

I wish I had a dollar for every person who failed to read the objective properly

[inland hamlet]

Just like go meet Scotty on risa, you don't need Scotty to go to risa

Serene squall in this instance is a character at the location

[worldly dune]

I would have enough to buy a prime

[inland hamlet]

Ie. Go meet the ferrengi dvor to obtain a stem bolts, you don't need a dvor to get a stem bolts, you fly to meet the dvor parlay for a stem bolts.

In this case it's go meet the serene squall and obtain 15 raw common transogen, which they have been tasked with mining for the federation ( earlier missions storyline)

But ofc enjoy next part because the serene squall is operated by pirates (earlier missions) and when caught they had choice prison or mine transogen for fed under armed guard.
When you click locate.. you head there, enjoy next part.

[inland hamlet]

Plus it's location symbol not a mining symbol, so it's pointing to a location even has a handy big green locate button., where to pick up next part of mission.

Have you never done missions B4?

[inland hamlet]

Does it say with the serene squall and a mining symbol with 0/15 no, it's a location so go meet the ship, speak with the crew of the serene squall obtain 15 from them.
To do so click locate, travel to that location
Next dialog will appear.

Now if it said obtain 15 raw common transogen with the serene squall and was mining symbol and 0)15 with no locate button, that's different matter.

[dawn tundra]

How make Maintenance fun!
