#

it's not even an event dude

#

its just a free gimme

#

its been said to be positive ROI

#

positives positive, who cares

#

If you can't afford the exchange, then don't do it, pretty simple, no?

winged tulip
#

Another event where if you've got a lot you can get more, and if you've got nothing you'll get nothing. Just what the game needs... not.

abstract gate
#

cool donated 25 million Dilithium, but now I have 30 million Dilithium šŸ˜†

fleet monolith
#

yeah, its been confirmed, a positive ROI

abstract gate
#

ok nvm guys i see

halcyon briar
#

@inner loom the number of tokens stays the same but the rewards per token improve

snow coral
#

Mine drained 7k Lat for 10k Tri... I put in a ticket. I definitely feel ā€œfooledā€

ashen isle
#

yeah because you didn't have the wanted amount. I di the same for the par but only 1000 for 15M, it's worth it for me

inner loom
#

@halcyon briar I didn’t notice improvements to rewards in the event store but maybe something there I wasn’t paying too close attention. But what you say makes makes sense and explains why the total token amount doesn’t change as the event difficulty increases.

brittle moss
#

Has anybody bought the bonus from the alliance store?

#

Stolen goods or whatever it is

stray tide
#

its shit

brittle moss
#

That’s what I figured not worth that many alliance tokens

worldly radish
#

So burning 100 tokens didn't yield better returns? @stray tide What did you get besides šŸ’©

stray tide
#

I did not just some other ppl wrote they got 1 epic shar from the 100

worldly radish
#

Ah, okay, thanks!

exotic plover
#

I did 100 recruit token 2hr cd twice n both times got 1 Kraus shard

#

If u do dailys after 26 u get 100 free a day so it’s a free kraus a day, if u buy 400 lat for a kraus

It says blueprint x1...not sure where you are going with this

@ionic fossil its just a single blueprint shard for the legionary, D3 or mayflower

#

Do we know yet for sure if the event shop will remain open for a period after the actual event finishes or must we spend all our tokens before the event clock finishes.

@twilit imp #aprilfools šŸ‘

abstract gate
#

@inner loom I just leveled to 24 and my event requirements increased dramatically with no increase in rewards or reduction in price. I think, at least in terms of this event, you are better off at lower levels.

#

Speaking of the separatist event, not the April Fools shenanigans.

glossy canopy
#

Are the items in the event store going to change again? Thought was supposed to change everyday...

lethal lion
#

Event store items are based on your level primarily (and may be faction level, as it looks like going up changed that too :D )

graceful nebula
#

The act of war event is getting harder, right? I feel like 2 days ago my 1st place was 600k points and now it’s 2 milly

#

@lethal lion my bad, you literally just discussed this yourself lol

lethal lion
#

Did you level up ops level?

#

Ah

graceful nebula
#

Yeah

#

To 22

lethal lion
#

Lol yeah that'd do it

graceful nebula
#

Dammit

#

Shoulda stayed my ass at 21

lethal lion
#

As a note, these events are by 2s, so I'm 23 and the same

#

But 24 goes up again

graceful nebula
#

I was like 20 last Friday

#

From 21 to 22 was pretty easy so I went for it to be closer to the Vahk

frozen roost
#

That's why I'm holding off on 26. Wanna get through this with ease

abstract gate
#

I actually intended to hold off completing OPS22 but here I go playing before coffee and like some silly monkey I go "GREEN = PUSH".
I noticed that the event tiers went from 600k to 2.2m but the rewards are the same?
I thought atleast things like trit and such would go up but it's still 300k for me, can anyone else confirm difficulty goes up but rewards do not?

quiet summit
light tulip
#

What's in the resources malfunction chests?

rare violet
#

More ressources

#

U get a bit more Back then U spend

vale meteor
#

Act of war best event ti date rewards alot better and wirth the effort.

gusty rose
#

@vale meteor very much depends on your LVL. When they make lvl 28 get 90M same as a LVL.38, something is wrong.

vale meteor
#

Yes just a bit.

manic topaz
#

it's not "just a bit" wrong, it's totally messed up, as level (23) with a north star i could do the daily event with 3 ship repairs in 45 minutes, a (28) has no chance at all to do the event unless working 24h and spending a fortune on repair trit

steady depot
#

What will happen with the Tokens after the Event store closes? Got max points/tokens and can't spend them all....

abstract gate
#

@steady depot as far as i know there is no cool down on resources or parts, so any you have left over after buying all the items with cooldown can be used for those

tidal rampart
#

anyone know if the events ends midnight today or midnight tomorrow?

tiny flame
#

Midnight tomorrow is my guess

#

Then open till midnight 6th

cyan basalt
#

Does this event last till midnight or midnight tomorrow (3.april 23:59) ?

manic topaz
#

bocilius, scroll up two comments....

cyan basalt
#

I see only monobrow guess

#

@everyone

Concerning the Act of War event store. The store will remain open till the 6th of April so that all of you can have time to redeem any remaining tokens that you may have.

tidal rampart
#

thanks @tiny flame

abstract gate
#

My event store is the same at 24 as it was at 23, the rewards are the same, but the requirements quadrupled. Your information doesn’t seem to be accurate. @lethal lion

#

Same here going from 21 to 22. Requirements have increased but the event shop offers are entirely the same. Hoped atleast for some increase in Tritanium to compensate that I need to smash my ship into NPC's four times as much now for the same thing.

glacial token
#

Support says ranking is according who scores 1st..... but that is simply not true

#

I was 1st to score points..and support being ignorant as usual

abstract gate
#

Yet another failed event, the "act of war leaderboard" should be renamed Wallet Warrior leaderboard or Great Whale list.

strong canopy
#

Can we get an anti cancer support event

lethal lion
#

@drowned rat, pm me please

limpid yoke
#

This game will sink very fast

#

My server is Only 5 months but big players are quitting very fast

tiny flame

šŸ‘‹

limpid yoke
#

The only event that would make everyone participate is mining event. Why not just make that the event of a lifetime

#

Rather than forcing everyone to use wallet

#

Probably the next act of war event, their will be only 2 competing

#

Per server

tiny flame
#

Maybe all events are not meant to be for all people all the time. If your life is fair and equal, let’s swap.

azure pecan
#

@twilit imp will the timers on items in event store be removed or will they remain through the 6th?

ashen pawn
#

if thats the intent then maybe they could state as much true maybe not all events are meant to be participated in but I suspect they actually want people to take part as this drives activity which is healthy for the game. Personally I used this time for tiering some ships up , the time isnt lost but as I couldnt take part I may as well do something else

abstract gate
#

@ashen pawn it's not about driving activity, it's 100% about driving sales. It promotes the "if I just bought this pack I could..." thought process.

#

At 27 with decent ships(payflower excluded) the event is a drag but doable with speed ups/latinum, if my ships were juuuust a little better it would be a breeze.

#

Hell I even finish it with a little extra trit each time after buying a 1mil token with rewards, leaving me enough tokens to buy 3x7uc ore towards ops 28

ashen pawn
#

agreed they want to drive sales that its about driving sale's, but server health surely needs players, you need a mix of those that pay those that are selective, and those that are f2p, the tiers of rewards should again scale by capability so that f2p can play and get rewards but they just dont get the same rewards that someone that pays a lot gets. This would encourage players to play no matter what type which means more activity which in the whole is better for the servers. Myself I refuse to pay £200 for a ship I do buy the elite packs etc... but for me the price of the ship alone before upgrades just isnt worth it. Not for a mobile game.

abstract gate
#

Right now they are getting good turnover on players, until that slows down don't expect anything to change in favour of the little fish.

tiny flame
#

£200 wont event get you killing Bosses in 1 hit @ashen pawn. More like £800 to kill on one hit id say

brittle oar
#

how are you planning on 1shotting a boss with Ā£800 ? šŸ¤”

halcyon briar
#

its the exact amount of mass that breaks their bridge viewscreens to open space

brittle oar
#

tier 4 to 5 bortas costs 1400 uncommon ore

#

i doubt tier 5 can oneshot already tho

severe mango
#

I can't believe they fixed the broken event, only to break it again the next day. Wtf Scopely

sage sage
#

Hi guys... has anyone got Fed section 31 officers for sale ??? Is there hidden requirements ? I can now buy everyone but them

waxen vector
#

Idk, fed and Klingon rep and 26 ops

#

That's what I am

tiny flame
#

Im guessing 800 is about the cost of a T5 D3 @brittle oar

brittle oar
#

is it that much cheaper than the bortas? o.o

tiny flame
#

Im pretty sure its 500/600 to d3

brittle oar
#

t5 d3 can solo a boss?

tiny flame
#

To t4 even

brittle oar
#

wait what o.o

tiny flame
#

Honestly, idk. I guess people dont like talking about money. I dont have a d3

#

But.. back to original question, its not 200 to ā€œcompete the eventā€

#

Its 800, at least to 1 shot a boss

#

Feel free to guess your own number

ashen pawn
#

I did say I'm my post let alone the cost for upgrading it :) but yup £800 is to much for a single mobile game ship for me.. not everyone as I know all to well but me nope

abstract gate
#

My solo went from 2.7 mil pts (max reward) to 600k ish. I thought its supposed to get harder.
And didnt got the compesation (officially it was for all) for the broken ally event part (1st day i think).

severe mango
#

Scopely has their head up their ass: event event success only if you have no job and spend money; April fools event only if you spend money to get nominal rewards; refinery back down to generating zero of the uncommon rss you need the most of. Getting real hard to stay motivated to login and play, much less spend any money once I get there. Watching reruns of I Love Lucy is becoming more challenging and entertaining.

storm cove
#

The sad is this event was a final straw for alot of players, at least on my server. Were fleeing back to other games that dont cost a mortgage to play

flint palm
#

When does act of war event end?

night stump
#

3rd of April, but whether than means start of or end of I don't know and can't see an answer to it anywhere.

flint palm
#

Tnx m8

teal jackal
#

Should be one last round of the event starting in half an hout

covert dagger
#

Love the event and believe they should have one every day. I found it boosted my teams happiness as they enjoyed getting rewarded having an events store released the frustration of getting certain items from mining or parts needed. Please, call it whatever battle you want. But my group loved it and looked forward to it completely every day. Once it was done they counted down to the next one. Great job

brittle kernel
#

Where are hostiles under 15k for the act of war event?

opal scroll
#

Nowhere are Hostiles <15k... what is your ships strength?

severe mango
#

I've been hearing more and more about another star trek with more content and more "accessible"

wraith sequoia
#

At what level does the North Star bp show up in the Event Store?

fleet monolith
#

around 19+

sudden ether
#

Does anyone know if this is the last run of the event? It won’t start again tomorrow?

slate steeple
#

as today is the 3rd and the event was supposed to last til the 3rd, then yes. Today is the last run

pearl dove
#

This event is absolutely terrible. Is very poorly designed. The rewards are mediocre. The store didn't work properly when they opened it. Scopely really needs to take the time to fix things and stop dropping new crap.

wraith sequoia
#

I have loved this event since they adjusted it. The first day sucked, since though it has been great.

rare violet
#

I Like that U can choose the rewards in ur own, but i hate the Killing of ~200+ npcs per day

slate steeple
#

i kinda enjoyed killing the 200+ npcs. If only there werent so much "one of you ships has reached cargo capacity" spam... that notification needs to go

halcyon briar
#

omg yes

inland shoal
#

As with all events, this one works better for some then for others. Having a tier5 north start that needs leveling, this event is absolutely perfect for me and yields me 1,7 mio tritanium net plus every day.

#

The boss event is of course a different story. We killed one boss with our ally in a team effort, it required more than 50ships in the 100k to 180k range. Therefore on our server lesss than 10 people take part in it every day but well, I gute ignore that it exists and all is good.

flint palm
#

I hope they will give enough time finish todays round due to server going down for all ppl that work and do event at evening

hardy parcel
#

I should imagine if the delay is going to be too long they will postpone it to tomorrow or later.

dull parcel
#

It’s already a day late when it started due to issues.

cyan basalt
#

I think that the best solution would be to prolong the event for 1 more day.

halcyon patio
#

@cyan basalt exactly 😁

#

The Act of Mining event has been awesome

How often do "mining" events....I mean ass whoppings run? Once a month?

This shitty shitty shitty act if war event hopefully never appears again.

14 people on my sever are loving itšŸ˜‚

To be honest I absolutely loved act of war part 1

#

but part 2 has been a disaster

ember notch
#

This event is best ever 😃 I earn 120k points.

hazy stag
#

what level are you? 28-29?

steady depot
#

Yeah event is great

#

FO with your mining boring events lol

hazy stag
#

who said about mining events?

#

they're crap

#

but the previous act of war event was great

#

with 3 separate leaderboards per faction

#

and boss ranks based on damage

steady depot
#

Yeah was fine

hazy stag
#

and good rewards in terms on uncs and trit

steady depot
#

Rewards are pretty ok now if not better

hazy stag
#

not for 24 and below

#

only decent thing is trit

#

uncommons are crazy expensive

#

crew is useless

#

and only available bps are NS which I already have

ember notch
#

Yes its only for high lvl Im 31.

hazy stag
#

exactly my point

#

previous event was more or less balanced for all levels

steady depot
#

I don't see bps for level 30, I'm level 29 so that is the same

hazy stag
#

yeah, but those bps you can get at normal times and the lvl 26 faction ships are vent only

#

*event

#

so you should be able to start collecting them early

steady depot
#

That is bs lol

hazy stag
#

nope, they awarded the bps in the previous event to lvl 20+

"I came here to deploy my hard-earned Bat'leths, and all I got was this lousy cooldown" šŸ™ƒ

will we get other chances to spend them in future events, or will they be "Lost" if I don't spend them here before the store closes on Saturday?

I was daydreaming to convert my 185k Bat'leths all on RARE G3 GAS.... 😠 😠 😠 very 😠

abstract gate
#

@round spear cooldowns were imposed on officers, blueprints and rare/uc resources, store is open until 6th so any you have left can be converted to ship parts or base res which don't have cooldowns

soft gate
#

The solo part of this event has been great. Loot chests from the new hostiles are wonderful and I’m pretty sure that they are sticking around long after the event is done. My big question is how long the Faction Reputation event is going to last. That thing has been a god sent.

round spear
#

@abstract gate
OK, thanks

Ship parts are very cheap in latinum when needed.
PS: Recruit cards? cooldown or no cooldown?

I think I'll consume all my EBT by getting

  • all Rares I can from now, on,
  • all BPs for 3 faction ships (not NS) I can from now on,
  • and 3 Harrison picks, enough to unlock him.

I have plenty of options to spend the EBT, notwithstanding that I earned as much as 185k (and could have been more)
I was:

  1. complaining that the cooldown prevents me to spend them all on a single kind of Item
  2. wondering, what if I forget to spend them before store shutdown, will there be the chance of spending them elsewhere in the future?

BTW, I figure the different picks Limit which triggers the cooldown was set to prevent spending >7200 in one go on the same Item, so 3 for Rares, 2 for BPs. and 1 for Officers.

All this (pick limits and cooldowns) would have been better made clearer and public upfront, before having to discover it the hard way, I'd have planned my participation in the Event and use of the Store differently.
Or maybe they were, and I wasn't pointed out to the right place šŸ˜•

abstract gate
#

wow lol

bold girder
#

Yeah the event store cooldowns are a total joke. Designed to prevent anyone from bagging a Mayflower or D3 without parting with £92. Feels like a bit of a mug off.

abstract gate
#

ok, cooldowns are intended to prevent hard to obtain items being too easy

#

i would presume these EBT are a one time only, personally i am buying the officers i want as much as possible and then last day will convert to res/parts

#

Wondering how people got so many tokens

round spear
#

thanks for the feedback, I understand the principle

I looked at the offered officers and their abilities,
honestly they fail to look anything near game-changin to me at this point....
I got D'Jaoki in previous event and he's been inanely collecting cobwebs in my basement ever since

abstract gate
#

harrison seems goodish, just got him promoted today, sadly not enough days left for another promo

round spear
#

indeed he's the only one I'm picking, but just as a FILLER after Rares and BPs šŸ˜‰ lol

abstract gate
#

decius is allegedly good too, just unlocked today but haven't tested yet

severe mango
#

Scopely seems to confuse challenging/difficulty with bored/tedium when designing events

devout talon
#

are officiers present in the shop based on level? I seem to have all of them, including rare, but not Harrison

honestly, with the reduction of points i have gotten 2 full envoy's and love the event at lvl 20. but once we get another power event i wont want to see this event again.

@twilit imp is there a description of the other officers in the event store besides Harrison yuki or zhou.

The rewards vs effort have been fine. One of the few events I’ve enjoyed. At least it’s not another monthly mining event.

well, in the FAQ, it does say event items rotate i think

or at least panic mentioned it

wooden shuttle
#

Really.. it’s like this company is run by a 5yr old who can’t make up their mind. Let’s change the reward store again!! Had I known it was going to be great at the end I would have saved my tokens for the NS. 🤬. How hard is to to just announce the rewards and put them out?!?!

wraith sequoia
#

I've spent 21.6k event credits over the past three days and I've got 15 North Star bp from it. Now, today that same amount of credits will get me 35 NS bp. Ugh. I only needed 35 to begin with.

#

At least now I can get the bp I need to build it, but I'll have more than enough and those credits could have gone to purchase rss I'll need to upgrade it.

hushed hornet
#

Will they keep the 3x bonus event running for another day at least? Will you be able to get the jelly or the new Ns pack after 24h? That's kinda important to know...

wraith sequoia
#

I believe today is the last day of the event but the store is supposed to stay open for another 3 days so you can spend your credits

hushed hornet
#

Yeah... I guess. Torn between spending the 21k credits for 26 jelly blueprints when a) It won't be enough to build a jelly for me and b) at lvl 21 a jelly doesn't make sense anyway

wraith sequoia
#

I need 26 jelly bp to build it and the store is only giving me 25, so I'm getting the NS instead.

hushed hornet
#

I already have a NS from the original event... I may just stock up on g3 uncommon crystal then in the end

#

Planning on stay on 21 for a while though and a new jelly would give me something to do...

wraith sequoia
#

That's the best bet then. Get whatever rss is most difficult for you to get otherwise.

hushed hornet
#

Yeah I figured. Also because I wouldn't be able to build the jelly anyway and it probably doesn't get much over 40-50k with bonuses anyway when maxed out

wooden shuttle
#

At lv21 you do NOT want a jelly... it’s a rss whore

#

And maxed out 50k is about the upper end limit of its power

#

Does anyone know if NS shards will be available in next month's event? Not sure whether to get the 35 shards.

I don’t think Scopely could even tell you that... 🤨

If you dont have any other things to spend the tokens on... Then get jt mate.... Maybe not next month be then the month after.... There will be something including the ns for sure...

#

They are busy working on new bugs to put into the game to get you to buy something

Ps you also can gwt some of the parts out of missions...

I either found all the parts out of the missions.. or can’t find the missions. Lol

timber matrix

Haha i found like 20 maybe a bit more or less out of missions

wooden shuttle
#

I think I had found 19 or so

timber matrix
#

But some didnt made any sense first had to kill an npc 2 times my strenght... The next step in the same missiom was like killing an npc half my strenght....

#

Have you looked at hive???

#

The missions to find ns parts are listed there

wooden shuttle
#

I’ll have to double check there ..

timber matrix

You definitly cant find all the parts from missions but like you did say.... About 19 20 parts... Rest has to come from events like this :(

Bur i think we all learned something dont spend your tokens directly at least wait till the last day :šŸ˜‚

solemn shard
#

Sure wish Scopely would offer up smaller than 25 Jelly BP. There's a bunch of ppl needing <5 jelly frags. If scopely offered 5 for $5 I bet lots of people would buy. Or give us the option of 1 BP for 1,440 tokens or something like that. @twilit imp

golden veldt
#

@timber matrix : Totally agree, should have kept tokens :/

#

I was like, you never know when scopely closes the store even though they said till 6th lol

wraith sequoia
#

The event store screwed me. I bought the 35 NS bp, then went to buy four packs of 150k tritanium. The fourth pack of tritanium took my event credits but gave no tritanium.

hoary carbon
#

@golden veldt i've learnt my lesson aye lol. i'm keeping a hold of them next time

oak sage
#

Wut?

frozen roost
#

I'd get the 5. Seems a better deal

marble oyster
#

Anyone get the 35 pack of ns bps? Wondering if it's possible to pickup 2 of em lol

#

My luck I'd get one pack then it'd grey out or something

left rivet
#

So...Harrison or rss? Any thoughts?

halcyon briar
#

i did harrison

#

no regrets

#

hes great

cyan basalt
#

And that's what I'm talking about ! Thanks guys for prolonging the event šŸ‘

halcyon briar
#

agreed @twilit imp great way to end the event, fantastic surprise

marble oyster
#

No ideas on if the 35 NS BP's option remains after picking it up?

halcyon briar
#

it should be available until the store closes

#

but i have a ns so not pressing the button to find out for you šŸ˜‰

marble oyster
#

Lol I don't blame ya

#

If it does disappear..I'mma be pissed haha

halcyon briar
#

lmao

#

does your store have the 1 blueprint or the 5 blueprints for 7200?

marble oyster
#

5 for 7200

halcyon briar
#

how many are you off for getting it?

#

and have you gotten the 18 from missions?

marble oyster
#

51

halcyon briar
#

well theoretically then you can get it with the 35 pack and a 5 pack

marble oyster
#

Pretty sure I did all the missions .the event was glitched so I only got one box

#

Just searched hivemind and I remember those missions

#

Err ..need 52..so 20 from the event box and 18 from the missions

halcyon briar
#

oh i read that as you have 51

#

not need 51 mb

#

but you answered the way i asked i just failed lol

#

yea hope you can get it

#

that would hurt real bad if you wound up at 50/52

marble oyster
#

Ya haha

#

I'm at 22..one day till I can build the vahk..so a vahk and ns should tide me over until kumari/horizon

#

That's the thought anyway

wide crest
#

anyone know if we can get event points after today or is this the last round

marble oyster
#

Fak..you can only get the 35x NS BP's once

#

I think today is the last day

astral solar
#

Last day for points today I beleive that why its been trippled

acoustic knoll
#

Maybe the NS bps are limited by level? Cause I don’t see them in my store 😦

halcyon briar
#

looks like l'nar, Zhou, Yan'agh in that order

#

based on their picture

#

@halcyon briar thanks!

@dim moon yes, I'm sure today is the last day for the event šŸ‘

charred prawn
#

was getting 5 uncommons in the reward now its dropped down to 3 another silent piss take of the player base

#

the event store ones

#

I can't buy commons at 26

#

I'm guessing we won't see any offical comments about them changing the amounds like bloody usual

abstract gate
#

@dim moon I am not agree with you. I am lvl 26, stay stuck because for ops 27 i need 170 uc ore. Refinery drop 3-5 a day and not everyday. Uncommon pack in the event store is worth it for me

brazen wharf
#

Does anyone know, can i buy new 5xmayflower packet blueprints tommorow? I cant See a reset timer...😬

charred prawn
#

I'm guessing they managed to mess up the rewards while adding the additional rewards along with the timer but they won't actually admit that a mistake was made and will just either tell me it was always like that and I'm wrong or it was intended and why am I complaining about it. Trying get straight answers is almost impossible the communication from the devs is utterly terrible

glad socket
#

hey whoa what i used to get 7x UC for 1440 tokens now i get 5? wtf?

manic topaz
#

for me (24) there were no changes just some additions, one addition is another UC which gives only 3x and not 4x like the original one (which is still there too)

charred prawn
#

yep they changed it as usual with no notes or information to the players

thin coral
#

Really???? I pay 7200 tokens for 5 days for 5 Nordstar Blueprints = 36k tokens for 25 blueprints.
And now there are 35 blueprints for 21.6k tokens ????? Are you kidding me?

marble oyster
#

Yup. Got screwed myself..short 2 BP's =\

thick pine
#

surprise !!

#

heard that romulan quests have some bp's for ns

#

my admiral got 5 from a chain q with some romulan quests 0.o

Ya I've got the 18 from missions

i'm truing to finish the event to get 35.. and i'll be missing 1 😐 fck

marble oyster

They did an uneven # of BP's for the jelly missions too

Is any of the event officers worth getting? I’m lvl 21. Also @dim moon at my level should I stock up on common 3*?

marble oyster
#

Ya those primes are great

got them both thx to that refinery boost.. that was sweet

#

i'm f2p this game ^^

#

gonna finish the event today to get ns parts.. will be needing 1 more after rofl

ashen pawn
#

@twilit imp just as a note this tripple event finally mate it worth doing, I now can make enough in the rewards to cover the repair costs of the grinding npcs. Going forward in an event like this perhaps make the NPCS not drop parasteel that way we can get enough dil or maybe even trit to help offset the repair bills?

abstract gate
#

@twilit imp sorry to address u direct but at moment a lot went wrong. Fine u prolonged the event with more benefit, but it’s disappointing when u decide to buy 36 pieces of an officer for 21,6 k points and only get 11 that’s frustrating.

dawn frost
#

Anyone else tried 36 officer shards exchange? I just get 11 in return as well, it's a really bad situation after getting through all the difficulty of getting those tokens. @twilit imp

as reported above by DarthDumbass for NS blueprints as well,
the "Family Offer" items they added yesterday to complement the normal offers so far, should be one-off items.
I can confirm that I got the 10x Rare G3 Gas item for 15K EBT, and it didn't go on cooldown, it just disappeared from Store.
Whilst the original 3x Rare G3 Gas item I had bought earlier yesterday for 2160 EBT, it's still there with its cooldown counting down.

Re: availability clock, all items say now 03d 10h, so the deadline should have been pushed back one day, expiring sunday nite (midnight UK) instead of Saturday

I'll go checking the announcements as well

The 25 unc packs appeared today first time bought now I dont know to wait for tomorrow or buy the smaller packs lol

I saw the 5 Centurian parts go away after I bought them earlier. Must be the same thing with other items. I think it’s probably a 1 time deal as it’s not there with a timer now.

@weary egret , i tried to change for 36 Krell with 21.6K tokens, it gave me 11 pieces only. 😭

" that info is available in the announcements channel."
"Gav 14:47
It’s there. Look.
"
Gav.
I looked.
It's NOT there.
Can you send me some of the same you smoked or drunk? šŸ˜‰
You are misleading, and /or you are misreading LC question.

The announcements say the store will close on Saturday.
Since the announcement, the deadline has been postoponed to Sunday.
Since the announcement, new items with more units at a higher cost got added.
By a few users here testing them, those new items are one-off.
So they'll still be there till the Store is Open, but you can only get one such item (for each kind)

PS: I see that while I typed (in work pauses), you had made things clear betweene yourselves.
Oh well, I have already written all this, posting it the same, consider it a summary

hey peeps, is there a cooldown on officer shards, i can get 3 packs now, but don't want to get 2 and have the store close on the 6th lol

clever socket

There like a 24 hour cool down

#

Also keep in mind the unique officers cant be got from normal officer crates so you cant further improve them after the event

ashen pawn

that fortunate guide is actually really good but shame it comes just at the end of the event

hmm, wonder if on the day of the 6th we will have access to store, or whether it will close on the 5th at midnight

When event end is today last day ??

not saying i agree

#

@dim moon does the ecs fortunate technique still work? I ask because my boss event says the boss has to be killed?

stoic drift
#

its not the boss event it works for its the solo points events , which you get points for damaging elites or bosses , its basically a fast way to get to 2.5m , i do it with my valk and complete it in like 5 hits

gentle rampart
#

how much longer will the event go?

heady gale
#

thanks zoey

stoic drift
#

but that being said points completely random based on the damage some times i get 300k , some times 500k , and sometimes 700K but best to use Nero or arix as captain for the burn

#

cause the points are going to be based off that burn proc

Kudos to this event... more of these please... šŸ––

No more mining events šŸ™

yes but make ship repair speed ups for awards too for it

Are the event crew worth the tokens? There is no way to promote them once the event ends.

Ok ive think ive now read everything on the acts of war event. Two simple question i cant seem to get. 1. Will i still be able to collect points on the 5th. 2. And spend before the 6th or on the 6th

I believe this is the last day you can earn anything and that the shop will close at midnight GMT on the evening of the 6th

echo yoke
#

@dim moon thanks! That’s helpful. I started gathering UC for prime hull first. Oh well. Unless more 25x UC packs are available I won’t make it this time. Closer is good tho. Decius’s captain skill doesn’t seem particularly worthwhile to me. Does the officer ability stack from multiple hits?

fleet monolith
#

The way it sounds, the 3x day is only today, and ending in a few hours

#

the store seems to be ending on the 6th or the 7th

vale meteor

Ive completed it today still short of 2 i think.

#

Oh well lots to spend tomorrow then 🤣

granite cobalt
#

@dim moon I don't think I understand how the fortunate technique works. I thought burning is just a state that allows other officer abilities to work and doesn't cause damage by itself, so how does all the damage get triggered?

I bet they will fix(read nerf) the burn proc pretty quick

Not wasting my rss for that

And im happy its almost come to an end.

Harrison is very powerful for certain tasks. I've also gotten lots of uncommon, 6 ultra recruit chests, and rares to teir my Northstar. This event has had far more rewards than any previous ones

#

And I've not touched the bosses

limpid yoke
#

But the difficulty went up the scale.
With my dialy goals its unachievable

#

Probably for lower levels yeah

#

But for higher levels you need have atleast spent a dough to your ship

halcyon briar
#

For higher levels you need to have spent to get there, it's a balancing act choosing whether you upgrade the ship or ops level

what difficulty , it was easy once they fixed it and im only lv 23 with medicro ships i made far more in RSS then i spent on repairs , like millions of RSS made over the last 3 days alone

@twilit imp said the "event ends today 5Th of April".. I thought today was the 4th..

Just keep killing just keep killing

stoic drift
#

7 repairs cost maybe 300k Tri in return i got 1 million trit, 1m Parsteeal and 200k Dil ....well worth the repair cost

#

and that was every day of the event

#

so add up the 3 days i did of it , i made about 3m Trit, 3 M parsteel and about 2m Dil , adding in the bonus round totals another 3m parsteel, 2m trit and like 1m dil

best event they have done and i hope it comes back

@blissful barn the other two tokens come in 1m only, so your store isn't rewarding you enough steel or trit to make a token

At level 24 you can buy common 3*. Those vanish at 25 and instead you get D3, legionary and mayflower together with John Harrison

Might want to pick up some common if younare about to upgrade

Though i am semi-thankful that the update was fked up to make scoopley give us an extra day of event ... i still think its a joke, ONLY on the extra day do the low levels get a chance of crew (im talking about people under lvl17) and the triple points only allows you to unlock 2 out of the 3 on offer .... many other players (the higher level players) had multiple days to unlock crew.šŸ‘

No, they only showed up for us later too. Also for days they had packs of 11 shards for sale for officers who need 36 to unlock.

To clarify, 3 officers were available from the start, the others came later

@twilit imp Can you give us a heads up on next event so we can start getting alliances ready? I know people will like to know what packs to buy or not so they are not wasting money

IF I could suggest an event to see who can waste the most rss killing empty miners

@halcyon briar.. not to be a pain but the Dili token was not 1 mil and they made it into 1 token of 100k.. they could have done the same with trit

I'll bring it up

delicate moth
#

I agree @dim moon however I wonder whether they've worked out a formula that doesn't result in either everybody hiding and shielding up for the duration or one in which alliances can't organise some friendly, limited pvp. The one and only pvp event was hilarious. On my server we designated a pvp system where you put your weakest ships out, with as few crew as possible, other alliances did the same, and so we all destroyed each others realtas and forts costing peanuts, whilst scoring enough to work through the milestones.

#

It was a marvelous display of cooperation šŸ˜‚

abstract gate
#

RƩalta wars was fun, for 5mins. A damage inflicted and resources raided (not lost) event for PvP is sorely needed imho

soft gate
#

@dim moon I remember the PvP event distinctly. It was by far the worst event they have ever done. Now what I am confused by, does your server not go into murder, death, kill mode during these mining events? Mine sure does. Mining events are an organized PvP effort to try to make sure no one reaches the solo milestones.

Nice write up, Mr Clam

@dim moon Yes, I do recall that. Our alliance loved that event and were sad to see it go away. I blasted bases all day

@dim moon so your 551st in power and yet you think you’d do well in an event that forced everyone including you to go out and fight? Ahhh hahahahahahaha.

They already did one of those, it was a complete disaster.

Lol. When clams attack.

soft gate
#

Listen, you are on a lightly populated low level server...I am not. Every day is a PvP event for me. If I leave my shield down for more than 10 minutes, I get a visit (I am always below warehouse). I am lucky if one of my miners is left alone for several hours. When they implement server transfers, transfer to a real server and you’ll see how miserable this game can get.

#

Below warehouse is normal. I lost count of how many people have 350k+ horizons. They one shot you and steal 1M rss.

#

If shielded a). Is shield is about to laps b). Never c). I refuse to pay so I can’t do d).

What's up with the bonus refine? Last event we could use it over the whole event time now only one day? Please clarify @twilit imp <@&509691205798592532>

Based on the timer, it will be available for one day after the mining event.

Ah, no that not work afaik , otherwise I be doing it...

brittle rivet
#

Best rss to mine is tritanium. You earn 3 points per bit, more than 2 rss. Di is 5 points but too slow to mine. 3 rss is a battle just to get on the node.

#

Use your envoys and make sure Kabish is captain of your best one. You may not get top prize but you should get close.

warm jewel
#

@gusty rose last mining event was working . When you hit a miners and site in spot for at least 5 second all rss you get from him counting in event. But not all ships or player works on them

#

@brittle rivet thanks

gusty rose
#

I guess that is Best if you on a over populated server, mining trit I mean.

brittle rivet
#

@gusty rose yes. If you don’t have many players or lower level then 3rss nodes is best.

#

On my server we have a lot of players, many are high 20s/30s level so 3rss nodes are hard for most players to get.

gusty rose
#

Our server pop is light so we are lucky in that.

south summit
#

@dim moon my response depends on the following:
1 - am I over and the attacker isn’t being a dick. If yes, then look for another spot to mine
2 - I am over but the guy is being a dick and targeting my miners. I then go full on Rambo and kill every miner in that alliance I can find .

So it depends

This mining event is a fucking joke

granite cobalt
#

So are there actually that many miners that are over protected cargo at a given moment? Most of the people I scan are pretty diligent about keeping their miners below protected (for 2* rss anyway). Your definition of mining sounds great, as long as there are cargo holds to extract from. šŸ˜› @dim moon

#

Maybe it's because I used to keep them honest too often lol.

#

So let's say most everyone decided to kill miners for extra rss. In such a world, because you know everyone else is also hunting for the kill, then you are in competition to kill those miners before others. Therefore, you kill miners as soon as you see someone over protected.

#

Let's say a large proportion of people followed what you just recommended, then there wouldn't be anyone mining to hit.

#

My point is, your strategy seems to rely on many people not following that strategy.

#

Yeah, so that is a perfect setup for your strategy.

#

I'm thinking about a long-term equilibrium.

#

Slowly more people realize your strategy works, so they hunt instead of mine.

#

As too many people hunt, not enough miners are able to be hit for rss, so a rss shortage forces them to mine.

#

Yeah, I admit, the alliances throw a whole wrench into it.

soft gate
#

@dim moon you are in serious trouble then. You will understand why when you hit lvl 24.

granite cobalt
#

You know, maybe this is what happens when you get a bunch of Star Trek fans playing a game that believe in Starfleet principles of "diplomacy" and "peace" and whatnot lol.

soft gate
#

@dim moon to realistically progress past lvl 24 you need to double batch every chance you get. You need to be pulling in 72k raw 3* a day or you will hit a brick wall of progression.

alpine yoke
#

Every alliance on my server that's decided they want to play pirate and destroy whatever empty miner is in their way has eventually dissolved under the pressure of everyone considering them kill on sight. We had one large pirate guild when the server was new that slowly broke down due to no one else being willing to deal with their shit long term, and constantly had their ships and bases wrecked. There's been a couple that have tried since then and get quickly slapped down. Over protected limit and zero nodes are valid targets, scatter shot without scanning is not and most people decide they don't like being killed non-stop and leave for alliances that are willing to follow those rules. "I do what I wants!" rarely make it into the 20s

soft gate
#

No, you don’t understand. RSS are not a problem. You can raid those up in a pinch. You need the 3* mats to build the buildings. You won’t have a chance to build everything up to max because you won’t have the 3*.

alpine yoke
#

Ones that think that nothing is gained from killing an empty miner other than being a dick? Yeah, most people are one of them, it's why you have 5 top guilds on your server that don't subscribe to your particular way of playing.

#

That sounds like a lot of demonizing the people who don't subscribe to your particular playstyle

alpine yoke
#

I'm saying you're attributing all these positive attributes to yourself and your alliance mates and all these negative things to all the alliances you dislike and it just seems kinda...self serving and masturbatory? Do you think they're not tight knit cause they spend money, or don't have in-jokes cause they prefer not to kill empty miners? You're associating one thing with the other when the two aren't connected, all to paint them as the ones who suck because you don't want to play like that

#

Probably because they're frustrated that it's the 6th time in the last hour they've had someone from your alliance come through and knock their empty miner off a node which is a complete waste for both parties, though obviously the threat is over the top and not acceptable

#

Look, I'm not saying one side is more morally right than the other

#

This is sort of getting off the topic and that may be my fault. My point is this: you have the right to play as you want, but so do they, and if they don't want that to involve having their empty miners knocked off nodes constantly and they have the means and will to enforce that and punish people who violate it, that's basically just society

#

And treating them like they're lesser for wanting to play the pve aspect of the game (ignoring the other apparent issues) is ...I dunno. Grating?

#

Their one pvp event was an utter disaster and I don't think they know how to make a successful one

#

It's not just a matter of pvp though, it's when it crosses a line into being a deliberate nuisance that disrupts other people's ability to play other aspects of the game that it becomes frustrating. People want to be able to participate in the pve events for 5 consecutive minutes without having their empty miners attacked, and groups like yours disrupt that which is why there's such low tolerance for them

#

And yeah, your previous messages throughout the day have been pretty derisive of PVE players

#

Ugh I have to do some work real quick. Hold on (or continue and I'll read it when I get back)

#

Correction, duplicate posting.

alpine yoke
#

"Our policy is hitting anything that's juicy... If it has cargo. Or if it's a station that covers repairs of tritanium. " which is pretty much the rules most everyone abides by, over protected cargo or zero nodes are fine and what I initially said, but that was following a post by you that said you'll just go through a system clearing everything without scanning, and that scatter shot approach is what I took issue with.

#

And I didn't say it was lesser, I said there are consequences from it that cause most pirate alliances to fold because everyone else on the server gets fed up with them

abstract gate
#

@dim moon It's fine, but I wanted to let you know that I certainly read your post earlier.

@dim moon more pvp events would be great, but I think should only be implemented when certain bugs preventing pvp are eradicated..such as the invincible station bug, or the god planet Zevis, in Atreig. These prevent fair play when it come to pvp on stations, have you noticed that bug on our server?

Ye ive tried to raid these stations too. Cant touch any of them. Silly bug

The thing I find really annoying and upsetting with these mining events is that they only singlely cater for people who spend lots and lots of money. Which I know is scoplys tactic but it has no stretch for the free to play people on the server. On my server. 131 we are always dominated by the same 10 alliances who take over all of the 3* nodes on the server which means we never ever get into the top10. Now one big reward is t’ping. Some one who will be highly benificial to a l19 who now needs to start mining for upgrades but I’ll never nor my allience get the award because of the Whales on the server who take it all of them selves. It’s infuriating and these events which we try to win we never have a hope in hell because of the high alliances always get the prizes. Prizes that they at their level don’t even need. For obvious reason Iv blanked the allience I’m in as I don’t want any retort from the big boys from playing a game I try to enjoy playing.

IMHO GhengisClam should play however he wants but that also means we can do the same. For example, I am not in an alliance because of the drama, politics, etc. So I fly solo and have my own rules. Don’t mess with me and I won’t mess with you. Last night a player in an alliance thought it would be funny to target my miners. Now normally, you hit one of mine, although most people alert me if I’m on a zero or fat because they know me, but this guy thought he was being cute. So 25+ miners from his alliance throughout the galaxy were gone in the next 30 minutes with my almost tier 8 Sally.The cries of why did I do that came. I told them simply what happened. They responded with the ROE. I told them I’m not in an alliance so don’t follow those rules. Mine are simple, don’t attack me and I won’t attack you. Being former Army I don’t do well with intimidation or provocation.

So my wife and I were watching the most recent GiantBomb (another great CBSi property) video and the question came up of community laundromats in some apartment complexs. The question was, how do you handle coming back to find your wet clothes in the dryer, on the table, maybe tossed on the floor and how to retaliate to the people who would do something like that. The older folks immediately flipped it and talked about how annoying it is to be on a tight time schedule and you come in and all of the washers full, several just sitting idle and unsupervised. And then what to do in this situation. As they started discussing this my wife gasped and looked at me and said ā€œholy crap, your are literally playing a laundromat simulatorā€

Yup, sums up the mining events, lol.

LOL. This mining event has mostly halted my mining, because my ship simply gets jumped before it even gets 1/4 of its protected cargo space filled. This has happened about 5 times in the last 24 hours. When I do mine, I send it back to the barn every 30 minutes. If I have to be away from the game for any period of time, I just bring everybody home.

Let’s all be honest. The rewards and the offers are laughable. Both the rewards and offers for the expense are minimal and complete BS.

pallid aspen
#

To gain point during the mining event obviously you need to mine but do you need to be mining 3 star materials to stand a chance of doing well in the event? Why I ask this is because it’s quicker to mine 2 star materials but you only get 2 points but 10 points for G3 materials, so due to the fast speeds for G3 mining dose it work out about the same amount of points per hour?

halcyon briar
#

@pallid aspen look at how much 2* you can mine per hour vs 3* per hour, multiply that by the 2/10 points

#

in most cases 3* will get more points/hr than 2*

#

for normal rss trit is close because the envoy is good, but avoid dil

pallid aspen

That’s what I thought but that makes it unfair on the smaller players during a mining event that can’t reach the higher G3 systems

Maxed envoy with officer for ore mining and synergies3350 g3 per hour is 33500 points, while g2 gives 6705 which is 13400 points

Just use kbish as your captain and mine tritanium. It has worked for me so far. I will be done with the event soon. And I only went to trit because it’s rare that someone comes and destroy you and on my server g2 noses are full and g3 nodes can’t even hold on to them because the whales hog them the whole event or kick you off it if they see you.

It was very pvp oriented server, until most of our old players quit... Now it's a mining simulator waiting to die..

#

Even our main pirate alliance had to start mining, it was weird to see xD

#

The top alliances organized a council of sorts, to try and keep ppl engaged, we stopped raiding bases when there is alliance event active... No empty miner hits.. it doesn't help, ppl are still leaving... And big boys even when they can, have noone to raid...

#

We even organize Fortunate only battles, and hide and seek with full envoys... still doesn't help...

@twilit imp was the race to ops 20 a one off event or will it be running again?

One time event

This event is a piece of crap same as the game it self.... so done with this monkey team that don’t know what they do

Anyone know if this refinery event will be for both 2* and 3* as I'm level 20 and only seeing countdown for 3*? @twilit imp

G3 only

scarlet cliff
#

@shut glade Race to 20 will be back eventually if you stay below ops 21 and still have buildings you can upgrade to 20 (unless they change the rules). I play fairly slow and I've seen at least two (probably more) Race to 20 events since level 10.

shut glade
#

@scarlet cliff thanks! Any idea roughly how long is usually between them. Last one was a few weeks ago and I’m debating whether to hold off or just do ops 20 now as not a lot left build at 19 now

wind vapor
#

Is there anymore info out about the refining special? It says at the top '1 day only' does it mean the special will only run for 1 day, giving us 2 x 10 hr refines? The last refining special ran for a bit longer.

scarlet cliff
#

@shut glade Not 100% sure. Around every month and a bit or so, I think. But if it stays the same you don't have to hold off on Ops 20. For the last one, players already on Ops 20 could complete it by upgrading any single building to level 20. That was actually the easier option because the event was shorter than the build time for Ops 20.
I can't promise it'll be the same but I'm in the same boat. All my buildings are level 19 and once I've finished some more research I'll upgrade to 20 (don't go to 21), keep one building at 19 and keep my fingers crossed until the event returns or I get fed up waiting.

minin is horrible events, why cant we have exploration and mission events

@wind vapor you should get 3 refines in the bonus, 1 straight away then 2 after 10 hours and 3 after 20 hours

Ops to 20 has been round twice, roughly a month apart. I sat on a ready to collect ops 20, taking a gamble that the event would repeat. Managed to get top reward within minutes of the event going live following that process.

Anyone an idea what the bonus refine will look like? Its just one refine right? Any idea how much these will cost?

i wonder if it s too much for the devs to do dedicated mining missions, they must do it in certain lvl systems in accordance with their shipyard lvl

50k for triple like last super refine. 3k 15k 50k

Top tier refinery for me at lvl 28 was 150k

My apologies for bad info. I got Race to 20 when I was lvl 17... and I stayed on lvl 19 for more than a month coz of bad refinery luck. So I figured it was one time deal.

Hi, could somebody look up in the "mega miner special" event ranking how many people collected over 2.4 Million event points? On our server, only 60 players seem to have completed their solo event (2.4 million points for (24 peeps). I'm very interested how many mega miners there are in other galaxies.

halcyon briar
#

on my server, 58

#

but remember that for the solo event par/trit/dil count

#

but they dont for the leaderboard event

#

so the leaderboard isnt an accurate guide

manic topaz
#

thanks , good point, but still I see the 60-ish people (which maybe becomes 120 inculding those who gathered par trit dil, shows how thinly populated our galaxy is with respect to 'very active' players.

hard to say

our top two alliances went into open war this weekend

@twilit imp <@&509691205798592532>

"We’re also enabling the bonus refinery after the event’s conclusion that will give you the chance to get 2x more ore but only for uncommons and rares."

So the bonus Refinery will start in 8 hours accordin to the cooldown clock (6pm EU / 5pm UK)
And it says "1 day only!" in the box titles.
What's maybe implicit but not necessarily obvious :
Will it have the usual 10h cooldown as well?
Last time around it did (March 22-24, I could use the bonus Refinery 7 times).

"1 day" means 24h, so we'll have the chance to use the Bonus Refinery 3 times if we're ready to it?
Or does it mean "Monday April 8" only, so startin at 6pm it will effectively be a 1-off chance, as when the 10h cooldown will pass, the "Day" will be over?

Just so that i can plan the usage of the collected materials and normal refinery

Thanks

halcyon briar
#

i would set alarm clocks and be ready to use it on cooldown

#

i dont imagine they changed it from last event

manic topaz
#

RuggedKnight what are the alliance tags of the top two in your galaxy ?

manic topaz

thank you!!! Is there anybody else here from another galaxy who could look up in the "mega miner special" event ranking how many people collected over 2.4 Million event points? tia

halcyon briar
#

yw, yea they are shooting eachother enough that the number 3 alliance is top on the alliance leaderboard, I imagine thats had an impact on our solo boards as well

round spear
#

@halcyon briar
"i dont imagine they changed it from last event"
What they changed is "1 DAY ONLY".

could you be so kind to make explicit whether that means 24 HOURS

  • OR -
    MONDAY ONLY?

Provided you know yourself, of course

Of course I'll have

  • Monday 18:00 (EU time)
  • Tuesday 04:00 (10h later)
  • Tuesday 14:00 (10h later)

Can we assume it will still be open on Tuesday, as by "1 DAY" they mean 1 full 24h Day from monday 18:00 to Tuesday 18:00???

This wouls sound to be "common sense" ... but you never know!

Thanks

halcyon briar
#

I understood the question. I suggested being able to run it 3 times

#

what I meant was why would they mess with refinery coding like that

thanks.
so we rely on common sense.

something so often has let me down from game developers šŸ˜‰ (in general)

halcyon briar

lol yep

cosmic ferry
#

@twilit imp @quartz forge Can we have ETA on red D3 reward from last event ? Thank you .

round spear
#

I'll try to make the reason behind my question clearer.

As I posted elsewhere (displayed mining rate for NS much lower than the measured one)
my combined mining rate for my best 4 miners (T9 NS, T4 Antares, T7 & T6 Horizons)
is around 30k/h

Actual one is much lower, due to travel times to/from base (to drop full and/or unprotected cargo), forgetting miners ondepleted mines, finding free nodes, combat disturbances, sleep, ...
In the almost 66h passed in the Mega Miner event, I got 12,188,830 pts mining G3 only §, so 1,218,883 materials mined
This makes an actual mining yield of ~ 18.5k/h for all 3 materials combined,
around 60% of the "on mine" potential, after taking away all "wastes and logistics"

I have atm 153k Ore, 121.5k Gas, 165k Cry
Except for Gas where I need 30k more, I'm already set to convert 3 batches (150k) when the Bonus Refinery will open at 6pm.
The point is, if the bonus will remain open for 24h as common sense would tell,
to exploit it fully I sohuld provide 300k more of each material in the next 30h before it closes
Whereas at 18.5k/h (provided I can keep that up) I'd only get 550k in total..
So I can only get the 2nd 150k batch for all 3 =450k. In the 3rd conversions I'll have to "content" of 3* 24k batches = 72k. 30k would go for the missing Gas for first conversion.

So if we get to put in 3 Bonus conversions,
at my best actual mining capacity I should barely manage to get 2* 150k batches + 1* 24k batch, for each of the 3 G3 materials.
meaning also I'll have to suspend normal refining till this Bonus window is over.

Much different (and more relaxed šŸ˜‰ ) would have been if the bonus had been a 1-off chance.
(of course even if it requires more efforts, I'm glad if we have 3 chances for rare/uc bonus)

Hoping these insights have been somewhat interesting for at least someone 😁

PS: § and I'm not even the leader :o
in my 138 server top reward will be taken by one who mined 1.4M materials so far (assuming G3 only) compared to my 1.2M

@panic any news on if the elite packs will be available again? Marches had now run out. I'd buy a pack at that value but not buying the normal ones cost vs return on them just isn't right.

manic topaz
#

@weak jackal if i look correctly, you are ranked 39, and a bit above 2.4 million, so in your galaxy there are even fewer people who completed the 2.4 M milestone of the solo event (give or take some who got points from par/trit/dil mining as well)

abstract gate
#

the game badly needs player v player action.system battles please. a system would have battle attribute nodes where ships can be placed prior to attacking. possibly turn based. be great for alliance multi player battles. a lot of tweaks would be required but im sure you get the gist of the idea

median silo
#

Can some one confirm that the Race to 20 event can be won if any building is upgrade to 20 not just the Ops center. I have everything up to 19 and want to start the Ops center and heard as long as I have one building I can upgrade it will count towards the event. @twilit imp

manic topaz
#

i think that if you are operation(20) before the event starts, the event 'card' will not be made available to you when the event starts (for others <=19), but please correct me if i'm wrong....

#

people at operations(20) get a different event at the same time (at least that's what happened last time if i recall corectly)

@median slate thanks, including your info, it seems that all galaxies are fairly 'equal' in terms of people who complete their solo event, and the numbers are pretty low in my opinion. Less than a hundred 'very active' players in each galaxy.

ashen isle
#

Well it,s not only for activity but free nodes, many people just hate that event and don,t mine at all

manic topaz
#

given that you (and probably more people) collected a fair amount of non refinery resources the ranking shows numbers that are a bit higher than it seems, so about a hundred might be more accurate

#

i agree, the mining event is more of a pvp event than the silly pvp event ever was

ashen isle
#

For our server is no. We have Server wide pact to not attacking empty miners

manic topaz
#

the mining event has driven two of our alliance members away from the game for good, they were put off by the hostilities associated due to the lack of enough mining nodes.

how many times can we use the bonus refinery? For instance, i have 25k ore, should i use several 3.5k or only one 24k?

pulsar solstice
#

If the bonus refinery works the same as before, 10 hour timer, so you should be able to use it 1 more time, if not 2 more times before the 24 hour period is up

vast parcel
#

10 hr timer confirmed. just refined my first materials

#

means you can use the refining 2times

pulsar solstice
#

Technically 3 if you are ontop of it... But 2 is more likely.

spiral forge
#

thk you guys! so in my case, i can use lets says 2 times * 3.5k, wich leads to 7k, and keep 24-7= 17k. Or use one time the 24k option

vast parcel
#

@pulsar solstice correct. 3times possible if u are not asleep when the first cooldown timer is over šŸ˜‚

shadow pulsar
#

Bonus refinery does NOT work as before. Rewards are one third of last time. @twilit imp everyone in my alliance was excited to see this back, now the consensus is "f this".

pulsar solstice
#

You can gamble trying to blow 24k for 2 crates, but means that you used up a lot of ore 2 chances that you would have gotten the same way just doing 2 seperate tries.

spiral forge
#

@pulsar solstice : yeah, thats what i was thinkin off. thk you very much. this number of batches is kind of strange

#

and 3 batches for 150k...

#

that's probably for very high players

pale kestrel
#

@spiral forge adn the return on a 150k batch is not worth it

pulsar solstice
#

I wasn't really paying attention to the numbers, but even the high level players really say it isn't worth it unless you really don't care and have the resources to just go 'idgaf' to just get the instant gratification.

#

Using the higher buttons that is.

pale kestrel
#

last time i got 150% less using a 150k batch than i did a 24k batch

In the end, it is mostly a gamble.

It can go either way

I have to say, the gas mining event is just a taunt by Scopely, they know there are not enough G3 netural mines, and they refuse to add Gas to faction stores (non Fed)
