Bounty Hunters are the ships which chase you in the systems when you get hostile with them
or however you spell them...
in a tiny little space, where all the Alliances s are holed up and after the same thing ofc
Ok... what system can they be found in?
any of them in Augment Space
just keep killing the Marauders and they'll spawn the B Hunters
Oh so event marauders are in augment space?
yes
Ok, I'm doing those. Missions now to try and unlock
No botany bay = no event for you?
be ready for app crashes, and Hunters looking like Marauders (another bug..) so a 1 point instead of 3 at times will happen
as well
@twilit imp Apart from what said in detail above about the crappy launch timing of this event and how its designed to exclude players. The actual mechanics of the event are exactly what the game has required since its inception. It has the chance to reward all alliances and players equally, so long as they put the time in. So on that front its looks like it could be the best designed event yet. Just a pity I'm not 100% sure I'm gonna stick around to play it, because the timing on who can play when, has killed off the last of the goodwill I have for this game.
you will have the events, they are long
These events are tough to figure out
To unlock augment space you playbthrough the missions and also need botany bay ship?
@signal halo that's ok, it'll be going for ages, and also anyone (like me) who built the Botany first up, is locked out of the Alliance Event
so you guys do get smth for being later at the build of iffy ship
Greedy bastards event.
The event rewards suck, why would I waste my time on those measly khan token exchange rates when I can mine data and exchange it for more lol
Doesn’t seem well planned out, as I also would not go over pawn statue before unlocking everything you can in the new area or else bounty hunters follow you everywhere
so i have to pay to do event mission? cause cant do a thing till have the ship and one of the event missions day it ends in 1d4h. not enough that i spend money already? Also this is the first game i have ever played where i have to spend to do event. been debating but not any more... I quit!
Is this really the event? All you get is rep and a token?
I didnt think i could get any more disappointed in scopely but i was wrong
Yay an unplayable event... Sad
So basically to unlock and play the new event we have to pay 20$ @twilit imp @quartz forge
or wait a couple of days
and speed up 3day ship build and do >.<
the event will last 2 weeks they said
So a f2p player will take another 6 days to get t ship
i'll speed up !
I’m experiencing a bug in which I’m not able to drain some bases affer I crack it. (envoy don’t work). I mean, a key feature of the game is not working properly and they keep selling other stuffs as nothing is happening. Get your shit togheter first Scopley, than try to sell this crapy event with crapy rewards.
I just put all my speedups and lat to fast track going to lvl 23
@sage lava happens 40% of t time for me and most in my alliance
happend to me yesterday @sage lava
@pine quest is unbelivable! Its like playing soccer and your goal doesn’t count sometimes. What a lazy bunch of devs. Hiting bases is the most important feature of this game!
tried on 3 bases, after i stopped, said fkuk it 😦
How do I gain access to the augment space I did all the missions in regular space I think but that area still shows as locked?
I think they are to busy having ideais on how to make the players spend more money, like this event. And ultimately they let the simple basics of the game behind. Really, fixing this bug must be priority n1, not segragating the players that have money from the ones than don’t.
Fix the game!!!
@molten crescent you need to build the Botany Bay as well as have done all the missions.
Get 6 free blue prints for Botany Bay via Augment Faction Store every day. Make sure you claim!
What is this for an event? 1 Kahn token gives just 65 augment credits....besides u can only win couple of officers shards .....
Rewards are ridiculous....not worthwhile
Very disappointing...again
Of course Repair time not fixed....but we’re supposed to hunt hostiles ...
The event is fu, i cant finish the Goal of 50920 rep cause i did to much quests bevore this event came on and therfore i can only gain 9390 rep/day wich will give me with my cutrent points a max of 49050 rep points when the event finishes...
@sage lava you will have to elaborate on raiding not working. I did 5 today and everything worked fine.
@abstract gate the hunt bounty hunters event also give rep as reward. Did you take that into account?
@abstract gate ...there is hardly anything to win ....
Plutonium for Botany and couple of officer shards....
Probably already said but this event is stupid..
Why set an event after release when people have started missions already.
And why start an event which forces people to pay for the ship and basically says f you to anyone who is waiting 2 more days for free blueprints
@glacial token yeah you are right, but its "intresting" that you cant even finish it
@soft gate yeah Accounted for that
U are supposed to buy ship and corresponding upgrade pack of course
That’s all u get LoL
And this what u Need
@soft gate it happened 5 times yesterday. You crack the base and when you send your envoy to drain it, nothing happend. I mean, the envoy kind of disapear inside the base, but it gets no rss and you also don’t receive a msg in inbox. You have to leave the base with the rss.
So...do the math....🤣😂🙉🙈🙊💩
its rep based
@thin heart I agree completely, it's like scopely isn't thinking... again
@twilit imp @quartz forge great idea for an event guys. said no one
Rep based is also funny. You can get pretty much exactly the same officers for 12 credits if your rep sucks as Augment Officer 1. Price goes up to 1300 for Augment officer 3. So you’ll need 20 of those extra valuable Khan tokens to possibly get just 2 Kati Shards.
And you have thrilling alliance event for 24 days, which can reward your alliance 6 Khan tokens, which are like a full Joaquin shard if you are lucky or 2/3 of a Kati or Otto Shard.
The increased repair times alone are gonna make people not want to do these events. I'm lvl 19 with no Jelly etc and my talla takes almost an hour to repair full health. Makes dailys that much more of a pain.
Start continues missions in Astrida @queen elk
@solemn shard yeah gameplay has really slowed down cuz repair times and cost are extremely high cuz all t researches we have done to reduce it no more work
Both Research n dry dock bonuses
@twilit imp @quartz forge so will those who built the Botany Bay before the event not get 500 credit in the alliance event? Punished those who spent $20 to by the blueprints to get it early doesn’t it?
@lethal lotus that's the problem, you get punished if you paid to get the ship early, and if you didn't
They're just fucking everyone
Thanks
Here's a novel fucking concept: fix the shit we already paid for (primes currently not working, lvl26 faction ships bonus broken, payflower sucking like an Electrolux...etc) before forcing us to pay to play your shitty events
#notpaying #payflowersucks
Who is forcing you to “pay to play?”
Me? Nobody...several of my alliance mates have felt compelled to pay in order to remain competitive...personally I gave up on being competitive after paying through the nose for payflower and getting screwed for it
So the answer is “Nobody is forcing anybody to pay.” Got it
No, but we're punished for not paying
If you want to remain competitive you have to pay scopely's entry fee...HAVE TO
And we're punished if we do
So yes people are being forced on a psychological level
Can't believe there are still apologist trolls after all the shady shit scopely does
What is worrying is that the last event store was well liked and was a great way to pick your own rewards. Now you give just a few credits they can only be used on Augment area (so few it only gives a few Officer shards basically) and the progress for each event gives so little as a reward
Did game design not look at the well received feedback on the Event store ?!
Yes but then accounting looked too and said "fuck all that noise, make em pay"
1 Step Forward 2 Steps back
I feel that they just beta testing the game on mobile but are actually planning on releasing it for console/pc so aren’t really bothered what we, the players playing the mobile version, want and are just using us as lab rats
It’s explains why they never repeat anything dat works out well but keep repeating stuff dat isn’t good with tweaks here and there
But @meager galleon “they hear us”, all the time. What they haven’t told us is that they have no intention to do anything about it. This event is case in point.
Vote with your wallet, im keeping mine closed and wont be doing this event.
Mobile platform is much more lucrative and has less regulations in place, its addictive abuse of people’s brain chemicals to make mo money
There’s no way this comes to pc/console
Hence why they are making us pay more and more before they release it on console/pc, so they make the most amount of profit
@meager galleon You are so right... And the worst is that the guys that pay have a game full of bug...
It's look like they don't event test an update before releasing it...
Nope we are t testers😂😂
And some bug are month old and they keep adding and adding things to make people pay but don't give a shit about game's quality
At least I haven’t heard of any beta testing being done so...
Yeah it’s all abt content not t quality
Its like, bugs pffttttt our game isn’t buggy, here is some new fancy ships for urll to play with only costs you $$
Can't be possible that there is a beta testing when you see the obvious bugs that are added at each update and when the update is not stopped on other server because it's full of bugs...
😂😂
130 Credit reward for an Alliance event that runs for 24days, sounds great 👍
The top reward that is
So I am curious... Anyone else pretty much gated on the Augment stuff? Like unable to do one mission cause you have to get like 500 Augment Credits and/or Plutonium.
Nope. All complete here
So you were able to do Botany Bay Part 2 and No rest for the Wicked?
Ok... Then I am missing where to get more missions to get more Augment Credits and Plutonium.
I bought all mine from the faction store
Been doing that too... But I am only getting credit for the remaining Augment credits I have.
Turning in the decoded stuff? I know I bought like 460 uncommon with credits
You mean buying them from the faction store?
Yes. I turned in 36k decoded data for like 3400 faction credits I think, then I used them to buy plutonium
Or is there a place to turn them in, which I haven't seen. I'm sort of stuck not being able to get to the other systems without having Recuperation complete, which is why I felt I was blocked.
And supposidely, the Recuperation mission is after the 500 augment credit.
i dunno, i just bought everything i saw in the store, and kept doing missions 🤷
Well, my problem is, I see on "No rest for the Wicked" - I only have credit for the 130 credits I have. And I know I should have more than that collected, as I bought plutonium, rep and recruitment shards with the Augment credit... And I can only buy the credit once a day with the data.
Well, here's the funny thing...
i did the same on the first day, then had to wait 22 hours to move to the last zones
I have 130 credits right now.
Just nudge your alliance to buy more packs.
@limpid mantle lol right, i think i had 50 alliance members buy it, so that puts you ahead a bit
I had the quest well before I bought like 170 credits. and I had credits counted before the 170 bought.
But after spending, I literally only have 130 showing as my current credit with Augments... And also towards the mission, which makes little sense.
trying to find sense in scopley is the prob
they drop reputation quests AFTER most do all the missions, so its impossible to finish it lol
rewards are trash anyway, but thats not the point 😄
How do we gather plutonium?
Have to buy it from the Faction store, as far as I can tell.
Carefully...wear gloves or something
Firstly gating an event behind a pay wall is a kick in the teeth to every loyal player that wants to enjoy the content that gets put out, we all suffer with continual bugs and lack of viable missions in the original areas (Donate 5M Dilithium for 600K Steel type missions or getting a quest in a lvl 25 System to kill a 500K Str Ship). So when you release an event and area that actually has good quests and story line holding people back is only going to cause negativity.
Currently the players that rushed ahead and spent money on “early access” actually get punished for doing so with the event release as they were able to complete all missions before the event came out thus a crap load of reputation was gained but won’t be counted towards the event you released that requires reputation.
Lastly the rewards for this event? We get told that feedback is listened to? But apparently it is not taken into consideration - The last event Store was overwhelmingly supported as a huge step in the right direction for event rewards allowing people to pick things they wanted at reasonable cost for what they put in. This event store and reward is terrible, you only have to look at it for two minutes. The top reward for the monthly alliance event is two Khan Shards which can only be redeemed for 160 Credits. Wow.. amazing. Event Store with many options was the way forward- unfortunately it’s one step forward two steps back aslong as the development team and game designers look toward how to squeeze money rather than look at the feedback provided for gamer enjoyment
Wait a minute! Today’s events - Hunt the Hunters .. and Augment Loyalty.. you need access to Augment Faction space .. and to get access to Augment space you need to build the BB. And to build the BB you need 60 BPs. But with the Botany Bay event chain, you get 30 and if you started right away you have 18 more for a total of 48 bps - still short of the required 60. Then there is the 3 day build of the BB. Soooo doing the event in Aug space shouldn’t even be possible yet but for the $$. Catering to the P2Ws?
Welcome to the party, pull up a chair it'll be a long one.
hardly P2W. all the events rewards combined are barely worth 100 latinum.
Correct the event rewards are shockingly bad. Read my feedback above
so im not sure what your winning... lol
Biggest joke is, it seems I can't even look in the event store unless I have bb...trying to hide the crappy rewards until we pony up the dough?
But people buying get early access to mining without having to fight over the nodes. That alone is worth it.
seeing as theres only 3 nodes in the last system, you are correct
@azure birch well at least it works as advertised...more than can be said for payflower
Not sure could be an envoy replacement. Not sure what the repair cossts are at high tier
That’s pretty good.
@azure birch what is ur protected cargo space
33k with Tpring and Joaquin
Damm...what's it's g3 rate? No mining officer
so its better than the envoy once u get it high enough in tiers
like 1000, not a mining g3 ship
if you think of it solely as a data mining ship, you wont be disappointed
Warp range? No scotty
forget long distance mining, or g3 mining.
T6 mines 23, 28 with Scotty
i dont have warp drive done on T6 tho
Anyone know what level the parts on the left are? 2* or 3*?
2
@azure birch does it take g2 or g3 survey parts
Thanks!
g2 up to tier 4 i believe, then it takes g3
ok thanks
i have 2 more days till i can get mine so i am trying to prepare the stuff for it
G3* screw that then I'll just use my ns
Any idea where we would find the bounty hunters? Would they be in augment area?
Yours might have...
my NS cargo is 13200 with a Kirk crew no bonuses
Mines 16k with stonn...it's adequate considering my envoys get popped at 500 overload
At 210k most players leave my ns the hell alone
yea mines 315k lol
Complete bullshit to put an event behind a paywall. Those not buying the ship cant compete until the last day? Slap in the face to the majority of your player base.
Yup
Agreed
But the repair bug doing you a favour, i dont fancy killing 200 hostiles when it costs me double in repair time anyway.
@bitter magnet hi. Did you get an answer?
Yeah there's that...not much of a bonus though
@runic cypress nope
Any idea where the bounty hunters /augment marauders are?
Behind you!
in augment space. @tiny flame i just took my ship in the lowest zone and autogrinded it over like 2 hours.
Great thanks
Sounds like fun Wreck 😬
lol well i parked my ship, and went to the gym, came back it was done. lol
How do you get past 36 botany Bay ship parts?? Don't want to buy em
You can buy them for free from the Augment Faction Store
22hr cooldown on free parts
But only 6 a day
From faction store
There are 4 Augment missions offered at Amador/Midnight to give you 24.
I assume the 12 is 6 from your chain mission and you bought the 6 from the faction store.
Someone knows how much cost to build the Jellyfish in terms of Tritanium & Dilithium
?
Try the HiveMind Discord. They might know.
This info is missing there :(
No idea then... Don't have one myself.
@delicate moth @sharp ibex @twilit imp Will the khan tokens only be used redeeming faction credits or will it possibly be for anything else in the future?
If we buy the botany pack will we have spare excess ship BP at endnof event or can we build 2?
@limpid haven Try Hivemind with the following for each level of Jellyfish:
!ship jellyfish 7
it gives you the Trit and Dil for each level
Ship Jellyfish Upgrade to Tier 7 Requirements
G2 Explorer Parts:
2,700
Tritanium:
653,000
Dilithium:
67,500
G2 Common Gas:
1,350
G2 Uncommon Gas:
1,745
@jagged nimbus hmmm, don't know, sorry
@woven lily I'd imagine there would be nothing stopping you from building another if you have enough bps. Looks a handy ship.
So only people that payed for botaneyB get access to these events.. kind of fkd up
Or "thursday" as we call it
@vital pawn look at the Fraction Store under Augment... there are 6 free parts every day
They'll be returning the coming months but yes, you'll be at a disadvantage over p2p
Yeah but event started now
How the hell are you supposed to get 55k Aug reputation in 4 days
true.
I use the event to mine G3 😉
as nobody of the higher levels is actually mining...
They are trying to force people to buy this Bbay ship and drop 20.. pulling this sht makes me mad AF..
there will be other events 😃
I dropped alot of $ into game already but this shit just triggered me so not buying it
oh please event isnt even worth it so dont go getting your panties in a bunch
yeah those kahn tokens are useless lol
@vital pawn you talking about the mats needed to build it?
Yes people that didn't pay cannot participate.
oh that one. So yea they can't participate right now but will be able soon(ish). It's still available but the Coming to darkness whole event will continue for many weeks to come
So there will be tons of time to participate in more upcoming events
I know it's frustrating that you can't participate right now - heck I'm collecting bps and waiting to get into the augment space as well
Good to know thanks. It still gives bad impression on how game and updates will be in the future.
I know
that was partly my fault but it was a bit of a mixup in communication
Because the team really wanted to cater this event towards the F2P play
player* but we didn't provide proper messaging to show this
so yea I'll take the shit on this
I thought i'd be cool to keep the anticipation up but didn't dream that it would turn to frustration
whelp! lesson learned anyway
Kahn tokens give 65 credits... please tell me something better will be added to the event store. 65 credits is a fraction of what we can already get daily @twilit imp
For me it's easy. I will reduce my actions in this game. Locking out a big number of players is a big bucket of bullshit.
lol so much salt in here. half the ppl complaining havent even looked at the rewards for the events, or they would be like "oh... no big deal that im missing this"
@azure birch dude if you don't have bb you can't see the event store lol...most don't even know how worthless the events are until they have paid the entry fee
Ahh. 👍
@azure birch for the events u get those khan tokens and for them u get 25 augment credits lol
exactly. augment tokens.. lol i turned in 36k data for 3400 credits last night on a daily, losing out on 25 for doing event means nothing to me
correct that is why I said event is useless 😃
They are sticking it in every hole this time...bought early? Disadvantage...f2p? Disadvantage...just bought? Gj here's an event store stocked with f all
@twilit imp Also taking a day before even the paid path was released did not help. People got message to enjoy new expansion and everyone was locked at 36/60 wondering how to go on.
Nothing bad to say about the update; new, fun and exciting content indeed! But event starting this early to make people mad is a no-no.
@ripe python yes but they discriminate against the whole class of players. Anybody that’s under level 18. They won’t give us the six free blueprints that you were getting in the faction store tab. Nor did I get a chest for the repair time bug. Nor will I did I get that chest you pictured. Even though when I do hit 18 it still gonna cost me 850 K trig <@&509691205798592532>
This event is impossible to finish. Max rep I can total is 11,217 per day, max per solo kill is 4417 from store is 6770. It is virtually impossible to get 55k in 4 days @twilit imp meaning total is 44,868 <@&509691205798592532>
@smoky coyote I didn't know that. That really sucks!
@plain elm it's the klingon event all over again 🙄
The augment faction store is also based on station lvl
I just really wanted to have all the blueprints for when I get 18. Their logic his faulty. I know I can’t go into expansion space until I’m 18 and I can build the botany Bay until I’m 18 which is required to get into the expansion space. That should not preclude me from getting the blueprints. I’m not level 20 but I have enough blueprints to build a Kehra. I’m not even level 16 but I have enough blueprints to build seven envoys
@smoky coyote it's only your fault for being such low level at this point. Like previous similar events they are targeted twords a specific level and up.
@Panic Does act of war will continue or it will replaced by new events connected with new area?
@cedar echo you'll technically get 6 bps every day so in 5 days you'll have it built for free
@sterile violet AOW is finished
and new areas are replaced by just more mobs for what I know
@twilit imp yes, but on the first day, there was no option to buy 30, just mass confusion for over 12 hours.
@twilit imp I believe you would have sold more BBs, and had less questions to answer had the option to buy been there from the start.
@broken kiln Rewards for the events are very underwhelming, 5 Green Joaquin shards, Khan tokens for about 0,7 green shards more and increased prices in Augment faction store. If you hit all the highest tiers.
Calling it underwhelming is in itself underwhelming. rewards arent worth the 100k trit in repairs lol
@twilit imp Can you explain how, exactly "No rest for the Wicked" is suppose to work, credit wise? Cause I could have sworn I collected more than 270 Augment Credits. At least 170 when I was 'Servant' rep, and 140 just as I hit Pawn level, which should have me at 310 minimum, not counting I believe I purchased some credits prior to that, but the mission literally shows me at 270/500.
@pulsar solstice This was mentioned before - I'm looking into it
Sorry, I must have missed it.
no i mean
to me! not your fault
but good that I have more reports on it
so no need to apologise
Well for me, If this is for Recuperation mission gate... This kind of frustated me to see like Wreckhouse is way past that and I am wondering how the heck I am suppose to complete the mission when I got nothing else to get augment credits and seeing if I spend them for like the plutonium for Botany Bay Part II, I am literally hampering myself in the process.
Could someone explain to me how do you suppose to mine in higher level areas with Bounty Hunters killing miners? I could 7nderstand for them to be strong but 900k power is a bit too extreme is it?
<@&509690795536941056>
I think it is basing off the grade of the ship.
M8ne with a 1mil battleship? 😂
@pulsar solstice , I believe that mission checks your current amount and not what you gathered, so if you spend any credits those will be deducted in the mission as well
Yea, but the mission literally states - Collect 500 augment credits
Which is kind of defeats the purpose of Botany Bay Part I or II if you have to buy Plutonium with said credits...
None of the other missions, like the dailies to mine, require you to maintain that level.
True, I did that... and my mission amount dropped when I bought plutonium.
@outer quiver how far into augment space are you 😮
To the end, and finished all missions except Botany Bay Parts
Yea that happened to me also. How to comple Botany Bay parts when if you spend your count goes down
Warp 29 is needed I think
Your Horizon is pretty low, level 11 with 89k power. While my northstar is like almost L25 and it is only slightly better than the Horizon build wise, mine is hovering around 120kish. (Still getting hammered by the bounty hunters at near equivalent level against like an L28ish Bounty Hunter)
And I am an L24 player.
I build that Horizon yesterday ;)
I think when the L28 hit my NS, I was in Kor Na Ron, I think, L27.
Or Rona Tan L26... So the intercepting hostile would have been maybe L35ish and be around that hit level...
Sounds about right
From the looks of it, depending on the system, the system literally throws around the level of the system hostile at you, with a slight buff.
So 300k may be a L35ish ship coming after you.
In klingon space, I just see ships literally almost like elite level to the rank of the system, which often is way too hard for me to fight.
Decoded Data mining nodes start in Vellamo (30).
Vellamo have hunters L32 with c. 390k power and higher systems have stronger hunters :(
No, they start at Kor Na Ron and Terazon-X31.
The high levels in my server have them literally camped...
Priss, spending the credits decreases your progress on the mission
You're right, how did I missed that? 🤔
Main difference and source of my misery is that: ...
Kor Na Ron vs Yarda
The ones I can get to are all camped by high level ships.
My maxed out Envoy is better than my BB at the moment. And my Envoys are around 42kish.
Yea, the inconsistency in mining speed in systems.
Don’t know about that the augment credits will be subtracted from the mission counter if you buy officer shards🙈
It does
The higher the system lvl the faster you mine Data
I literally should have at least 310 in the mission. My current holding is 270... Mission Credit: 270
if your current holding is 270 then thats what your quest will show until you get more. if you spend more, then yes, it will go down again
so dont spend anymore until you finish the quest
its not a hard concept to understand
Don’t know that, so I will wait another two days to fullfill the mission
prolly not the way it was intended, but it is how its working.
@azure birch I was clarifying to Sunny who was under the impression it wasn't affected by buy recruit shards.
👍
No prob, but a showing up in the mission counter would be helpful
I do see it showing briefly once I am out of the faction store, but I don't believe this is the proper behavior of the mission... Which is annoying cause I didn't know that going in...
Warning some of my guys cause some of them are getting into it late too.
I will inform my ally mates, so that no one makes the same mistake like me
Dumbest event can only compete if you spend lolol
Anyone know what your faction rep has to be in order to get the free bp’s for the Botany Bay daily?
You should already have the Rep for Augments to get the free BB bps.
It is gated at 6 bps per day though.
I have a player that’s not getting her bp boxes but has the mission to build the BB and she submitted a couple of tickets about it
Lvl 18 required
This mission "Uncaged," which begins the Augmented chain of missions. I've been to Lycia and to Astrida, and I'm not seeing it. Hivemind says it's on Astrid's planet Jotun. I see a mission exclamation mark -- but it's greyed out and the pop-up says "View Missions (0)." Is there something I need to have done, before I can open this up?
You may need to be Level 18 or higher.
I can see that. The BP mission "Quid Pro Quo" takes me to a hostile that is way above the strength of my current ships (18,000+ vs my 7,500 ship). That, too, may be "Level 18+" material.
A lot of it is aimed for L18 or better players.
Augment Space is L20+... So if you are likely not able to hack it.
Yes, that info makes this make sense. Thanks.
Unless you are spending lots of money and have a well geared Northstar at L14... Gonna be hard pressed in general, I think. But even then, it is gated to L18 players.
Like I said, she did all the missions and has the retrofit mission @shadow pulsar
Still have to be 18 for the free 6 per day, regardless of mission completion.
@shadow pulsar thanks much!
In Augment Faction are you a pawn before or after servant?
Anyone know how betraying Kahn or helping him with Starfleet effect the story line?
Anyone know how to unlock the back half of Augment Space?
The mission A Calculated Risk wants me to go to Yarda-74 but I don't have it unlocked yet
You need to have the augment credits. 500 I believe
Ah, ok. Thanks. I'm at 488
Pawn is after Servant
Don't spend any of your Augment Credits, it will hamper your Mission 'No rest for the Wicked'. I found out the hard way and kind of stuck at the moment.
So am I...
Where can i find the mission recuperation?
From what I have been told, you have to complete "No rest for the Wicked"
So you need to have 500 Augment Credits on hand.
You probably have to have the ship and unlock the new system before it will ship up for you
Shoot a couple of mauraders ...then ur reputation will increase
But rewards are not much....plutonium and Officer shards ...that’s it
What is this please?
letting people know about reduced repair costs in game afaik
Anyone kno where Vaara system is?
Anyone know where I find recuperation mission for augments?
Ah saw above need to complete another mission
What are the requirements for plutonium to show in Augment faction store. I do not see the option for plutonium in my faction store.
@chilly silo you need Augment faction rep, plus fed faction rep
I think that's incorrect Nebt
It's a UI bug where the text transfers from the previous faction screen you were on
as the free BP's will show you need reputation as well, but you dont need any
Wow, sweet, stand corrected. Thankyou @meager galleon
I have heard of some players not being able to see Plutonium in the Faction store, I thought it might be down to one of the BB quests but I don't know
Thx I'll go back and check my quests and see if I missed one.
No plutonium in my store :/
None in my store either
Friend of mine can’t see it either
Will more items be added to the event store? With only credits to buy with the Khan tokens I don’t really see why they didn’t just award 65 credits directly unless other options are coming...
Apparently we dont get any alliance event rewards if we can't participate cus of not having the ship? Wtf scopely. thanks
Although the reduction in Ship repair times for this Event are a token regard, more "smoke and mirrors" bestowed by Scopely. True largesse by the Developers would be permanent improvements in game mechanics and not an ongoing experiment in the dynamics of psychopathology amongst us.
What is overtly needed for instance are substantial reductions in Ship repair costs across the board, (to remain constant, not just Event specific) and not to be nerfed (manipulated) later. Many things can be done to improve Player satisfaction, it is very disheartening for lower level Players...
I just completed the mission crossing a line and the reward box with the ? just moved to my items tab, but I never saw what it was....any insight?
Did u make a choice during thé quest? @azure pecan
Your rewards are bound to that choice
and when you make the choice the reward box is normally populated with the rewards you choose...tbh I cannot remember, no real way to confirm if I got it or not...
It's a bunch of 2* rss iirc nothing that'll completely put the brakes on your progress
got the answer.. vaara expanse is augment faction space.. one in the same
why am i pulling corrupted data off a decoded data accelerator
How come pawn is a relationship with khan but is censured in chat. Makes no sense then to use pawn in game.
@here anyone upgraded the bb yet ? What’s it look like down the line ?
I got it at T5. Good for data mining, 11k rate on a 20k green data mine
@abstract gate that’s tier 6 stats without any upgrades as will take awhile to purchase enough uncommon plutonium.
Spiffy, Cant wait 😁
Look at the mining bonus @abstract gate there goes your plan to replace an envoy with it...at t7 it'll be around 1k g3/hr
Ranked event when F2P player can't acces the area, thank you scopely. We now you love money but still...
I mean before P2W player will win the event, but now F2P player start with an handicap, like if it wasn't hard enough
What ranked event?
"Khan's repair technology"
thats to help you repair ur ships
Only one is the repair hotfix and that requires no action
nothing ranked about it
Read it's description...then slowly back away
Oh yah my bad, presented has a ranked event so maybe they could change that...
Here I'll help
It's a hotfix...probably the most expedient way to implement it without radically changing code
Official announcement has more info
@abstract gate yep, only for data... Has a miningrate of 12500 now for green data nodes, 20k each. Empties one in 90 minuten... Me likey
Doubt I'll bother to get mine that far
It s a change of scenery for me, new things to do
And i hope to get Kahn, sounds like a Nice pvp officer
Like I said in gc earlier as a non-combatant (unless provoked) pvp isn't my bag...take the officers out of the equation you are levelling rep to get parts to upgrade a ship so you can...level rep faster?...yay? Whole expansion is a bit meh for me
can anyone confirm that between 3 and 5 bounty hunters come for your ship when you are pawn or above - and after that they will leave you alone ?
a few guildmates suggested thats whats happening
ive stayed servant so cant test myself
I didn't get a Khan token after my alliance completed the first level of the event?
So another piss wasting event, you can not get all the BP unless you buy the ship package, bullshit !! What happened to supporting the guys who can't afford to pay for big packs
Stuck as i can not get all the bp for the new ship, game is a joke, bringing out events and missions which don't even give you enough BP, trying to force you to pay
@magic dock where are you stuck, and you checked the free bps in the faction store right, there are six daily.
Yes I only have 42 BP, I've dont all the missions and got the daily free ones
You will still get more free daily ones, just a wait
Which means you will get the ship for free
@ @native sleet have no missions, and have collect the 2 days free still only at 42
I'm sick if the game always wanting money
So no need to buy the pack.
There are still more free days coming.
You must of missed a day. The count for free now is 48 I believe.
I've been on every day
So again I 2ill lose out in a ship
Like I'm still sitting on 30-40 BP for the north star I can't use as nothing gives me BP,
This games a joke no wonder the player base is dropping
Let me ask for how long the free bps go for.
@native sleet Count is currently 54/60 if you're f2p. Tomorrow construction can start for most who immidiately participated.
Thankyou @abstract gate
@native sleet I know for a fact I've not missed 2 days for the free bps, so again I will be setting on worthless bp
Weird as other ftp, as you have seen definitely will get the ship for free.
Same as when in the end I was forced to buy the north star because i could get enough BP to build it
Well clearly I won't once again
Same as here I have 60 worthless NS BP and do do anything with them
Im sorry that you missed free bps. Thats odd.
I haven't missed any days I've been collecting the bp
Please ticket that then. Something is definitely off if you dont have the same count others do.
What's the point I got not response over having 60 useless for the ns,
I also have screen shots of the support admitting a bug on my account after losing 100 million rss, but they wouldn't replay me the lost Rss,
They started it will be awhile before my account is normalised
Seriously what type of response is that
This new area makes no sense can’t unlock finish quests to build botany only 12 on ? No idea where to go now
Do all missions from lycia then go to amador or midnight for more...
Goto faction store > augments and claim your 6 free bp's every 22hrs there
@magic dock They aren’t useless blueprints for the North Star, there are still event opportunities for you to get it. The Botany Bay is also 100% free if you are willing to wait and collect the blueprints every day, don’t know what you missing here to think it’s not gonna be free.
So far only ships that are pay to have are the lvl26 faction ships (assuming you weren't one of the 9 on your server that won one)
New are can’t be unlocked until you have Botany Bay?
The ones that won them didn’t even need them usually 😔
@somber topaz unlocking it is a reward from retrofit mission which requires you to build bb...so no
@meager galleon truth
Scopely logic: prove you don't need it and we'll give you one free....red d3 I'm looking at you
I completed that it wants me to build bb area is still locked
@somber topaz you have this mission?
Yes
Did you build the bb before you got that mission?
No I only have 12 bp for it
6 from lycia chain and 6 from faction store?
Yes
There's 24 available from missions starting in Amador or midnight...also the 6 in faction store is on a 22hr cooldown so collect those every day
Eventually you'll get to 60 for free
Np gl out there
I don't know if this has been answered or not but how are we able to mine in Augment space when we are constantly attacked by bounty hunters?
super easy but i cant explain because it might be a bug
Ok fair warning. Mission botany bay part 2 does not work like normal collection missions. You get the plutonium from the faction store but if you use it to upgrade it will subtract from your total collected
How are you suppose to mine in the high systems when the bounty hunters with stupid high strength come after you? @twilit imp
@twilit imp any word on the plan with the event store prizes? Will they be rotating or adding items? Yesterday one token was worth 65 credits and today it’s worth 130. Seems we should be saving them for something better then...
@viscid grove Use the bait and switch tactic. 1) Send miner into system first 2) Follow it by a warship or a ship that can warp there 3) Have warship attack revenge NPC targeting miner
It won't respawn
Yep, works like a charm
Or do thé opposite, warp in warship first, miner few seconds behind. Only warship Will have a bounty hunter targeting it. When you re sure the miner is safe, warp out with thé warship
@abstract gate what if the bounty hunter is too strong for ur ship?
@viscid grove use Elfs tactic
Yw...I essentially did nothing but it's always nice to be thanked
Lol
@viscid grove you can also suïcide thé warship on thé bounty hunter targeting thé miner. Both Will disappear and thé miner Will be safe
Just warped my envoy into a system and no bounty hunters came for me. Warped warship in and went after that. Warped it back out and all ok lol
You get attacked because your ranking increases with Augment. Bounties are on your head for aligning with them.
So how do you reduce it back down @abstract gate
You don't. It's your goal to increase it. There are methods to escape them, they're posted frequently here. Just have a scroll and you should find them.
Why are the event botany packs based on level when everyone needs the same ship?It's not like base packs or research packs they make sense to be different.
Everyone needs the same ship in the same places. Doesn't make sense
You don't necessarily need the Botany Bay to do anything in Augment Space
The Botany Bay is better suited for Data Mining, but if you have a better mining ship level wise, it can outdo the Botany Bay unless you put a fair chunk of money trying to get shards and resources.
Thanks guys
@pulsar solstice Not true. You need to actually build the BB to get into Yellow space
I don't think Priss meant you don't have to build it, but rather, once you can get in there, you don't necessarily have to keep using it.
Correct.
You don't NEED to use the Botany Bay to do anything in Augment space or the missions in there.
It is ideal for doing your data mining, but only if you have it at a higher tier. Otherwise, an Envoy, Northstar or Horizon will be better if they are higher.
A maxed out Envoy will still outdo a Botany Bay on Data Mining, but maybe not out range a better Botany Bay.
You could literally ignore the Botany Bay pack upgrade. It literally won't do much other than be a supplement, but it isn't NECESSARY in order to do anything in the augment space.
But an upgraded botany is mining over 100k an hour for decoded. Nothing else is remotely close to that
Yes, assuming you are willing to dump a bunch of resources into it, but even then, you are limited on the fact you do need to purchase plutonium for some of those upgrades and it isn't realistic to just have a pack that gives you everything in one go.
And it does give you some stuff that I don't think is necessary for the Botany Bay along with the stuff it does need.
Higher levels get far more uncommon and Rares. More plutonium. All needed for the ship
So the higher your level the cheaper you get to upgrade the ship. Just seems backwards when everyone needs the same ship for the same thing
Cause again... They have higher level ships they can throw at it. The Botany Bay pack isn't going to level the playing field for the higher level players. Nor will the ship.
It is going to be the 'same crap' as any other place, imho.
Just like the Northstar pack didn't exactly do 'wonders' for it for people who got it. It helped in some spots, but still didn't level the playing field against high level players, imho.
Your wrong saying botany is not a game changer. It's by far the fastest way to get the new crew. Which is definitely a game changer
For the Augments, sure. But again, you, like the high level players, will still have the same problem in competition as you do with G3 materials... Higher level people will smack you off with or without the Botany Bay.
In order to actually compete with the botany bay, you have to tier it up to get the nice abilities, but at the same time, high level ships can smack it off before your nice uber data gain speed would be useful.
Again, it is about who can put in the most into it. Most of the others have stuck with the Horizon or Envoy for now because the initial stuff does limit them and using the harder hitting ships to take the Decoded Nodes so they can push it, but again... The Botany Bay is not the end all there until the later part of this whole thing.
Some people will eventually be annoyed just as they are about all the other things about the game because the high levels will still dominate in other areas. The pack won't do much to help that and some people will give up on the botany bay because again, domination by high level or high powered players will make it difficult to really do much there and also dealing with Bounty hunters NPCs without having a decently tiered ship which again, is hampered by resource needs.
I get your point. Its definitely valid. As anything but a data miner the ship is and will be garbage. Almost anyone can kill one even leveled. So the lower power players get pushed into slower mining systems with a slower mining ship. I guess I'm simple because I still dont remotely agree with it. Thanks for taking the time though
@twilit imp <@&509691205798592532> can someone please explain this? This here is a lvl 30 store and the second is a lvl 29 store aren’t these supposed to be REPUTATION based not station based?
To be honest, AhHell... It isn't just the fact the lower levels are going to be stuck with slower mining systems with slower mining stuff... The Higher level, faster mining areas will be saturated anyways, with or without the botany bay. The high level players will Still bully the lower level, lower powered players simply not only cause they can... But the Hostile Bounty Hunters will still pwn lower level players from being in the higher level areas.
One guy who went in with a Level 11 Horizon with 87k power, went into one of the higher level areas. A level 33 Bounty hunter at 303k power slapped him.
In the end, throwing a Botany Bay is IDEAL for Data mining. But if you can't back it up or willing to pay through the nose to get it tiered up like some of the more insane players... It isn't going to be the most ideal situation in general.
The high Level players will have other means to get what they want, including the Decoded Data nodes and will be able to wrest that from any lowbie, with or without the Botany Bay.
Yes, the game guys said the Botany Bay would be the best. But I am willing to bet, the ones who have the best botany bays are going to be the high level wallet warriors who don't give a hoot. They will dump as much cash and throw their best ships to capitalize on it... If you aren't one of those high level guys with the money, complaining about the piddly stuff isn't going to 'make it balanced', and even then, the high level wallet warriors will STILL capitalize on it more than you cause they have the higher level ships to also leverage it AND took advantage of the very thing you want, and still be ahead of you in both Short and Long run games.
Dude.. Stop complaining.. Play da game or quit.. Omg.. Kids nowadays.. Spoiled..
Ty
No, T9... 45 may be max
Can anyone tell me how to find new missions? Or do you got to trawl through the map?
HiveMind Discord has a bot that can list through the missions... Although it is lengthy
A question for any other "dual faction " folks out there. My fed and rom factions are both between 500k and 600k, so consort lvl. My daily faction events are not the same. When I hit consort, my fed event jumped up to 30M. Romulan stayed st 7.5 M. Anyone else having this issue? Support is, as usual, worthless.
So while i always knew about the bait/switch method, i never really tried it until now. Not having much success because 2 NPCs always spawn. They must need to really enter into the system at the same time or seconds apart to work? @abstract gate
The miner needs to enter a few seconds behind the first ship
is there a good method of doing this? need to factor in the -20sec (or something) from when it's in warp to when it goes to impulse in space?
if u are strong enough u can kill the hostile till it goes after ur attack ship then warp out
@vital pollen I try to shoot for at least 10 sec behind
Thanks. I finally hit the sweet spot and it worked. Ironically - success happened at 10sec @pearl spade
@vital pollen indeed a few seconds apart
I scrolled up pretty far. I couldn't find it. But can anyone tell me where to find the Recuperation Mission? I'm stuck. Check Midnight, Lycia..etc
@pine steppe - Recuperation is a continuation mission. It comes after No Rest for the Wicked.
@keen ledge Awesome! Thank you! Im almost done with that one.
If you've finished all the missions, the only way to increase rep is to buy it in the faction store and finish the events, right? Or did i miss anything?
hostiles and bountyhunters don't give rep as far as i can see?
@compact citrus correct
too bad...
@compact citrus it’s also given in augment missions
finished them all... nothing left for me to do in augment space i guess...
got enough data to last me a while...
@vital pollen you’re welcome...glad I could help
When will there be a mayflower event again?
@steady phoenix
@crude coralangel, are you there?
Is there any way to progress in this event if you completed the quests before the event started? Or will I have to buy my way in via the store?
Because I can’t get to augment space without a botney bay, and I can’t get more blue prints without completing quests I already have finished.
In short, this event is not well planned.
I have BB for free since today like many others
The past 5 days you were able to collect 6 Blueprints a day in the Augment faction store.
30 from missions
Only if you complete missions during the event. If you completed all the missions before the event. You can not gain rep during the event, thus no way to build the bb without paying.
I was one of the first to do the missions on EU server launch, I got 30 parts from the missions and that same day 6 more from the Faction store. I gathered the remaining 24 over the last days from claiming the daily 6. I sped up the building using the gifted lat and spared Speed-Ups and am now continueing the quest chain.
“Faction store” ok I feel like an idiot. I have been looking in the event store....
Can we lower how much trit it takes for making the botany bay its going to take forever to mine that much and dont feel like sitting behind peace shields for a month
Also, not paying a dime to get enough trit to do that
Mine.... trit?
They see me flyin', they hatin', patrollin' and tryna catch me raiding dirty.
Need help, what were the rewards for the final Khan mission? Better to kill the federation or Khan?
@humble geyser There is a clickable box above each that shows the rewards. Khan is RSS and Fed was G3 mats.
There's a +2 I can't see on either one
It worked when I clicked it showing all rewards
Dont supposed you remember the str of either of theose ships?
Ok 200k, same as the Mayflower before it
I chose fed, needed unc g3
Went for the RSS and Khan pieces
Thanks! Dunno why I never tried hitting that +before
Prob was afraid it would choose that option...lol
It used to.
What are those stars under the RSS??
Tbc I imagine
has it been confirmed that plutonium is only available via purchase?
@sharp ibex
@delicate moth
@tiny dagger don't know I'm afraid. My botany bay is still being built.
This event sucks really. Was good for the 1st couple hours, after that, went back to regular missions and dailies.
@tiny dagger you mine decided data and then exchange it in the faction store
Decided. Lol. Decoded
Said that wrong to lol. Exchange augments in the faction store for plutonium
thank you @delicate moth @abstract gate
i have been mining before progressing to buy out the store and then rank up and buy it out again lol
Why is updating the bounty bay so expensive in common plutonium and how can I get it?
I got Bounty today. At first mining was fine, now after hitting Pawn or something, the miners are. I being hit by aggressive bounty hunters constantly. I don’t understand this if I am positive to Augment. It makes mining almost impossible now. However, a miner I had in place before this is never attacked. Totally weird. Anyone have any explanations?
Lvl 3 bounty bay as only a warp reach from 19 but it should have at least 20 to start the mission!
I opened the area with BB but use regular powerful ships after that in Augment space
Ok so you US Scotty to get there!
That is inconsistent ! Warp reach should already be 20 just one warp you need Scotty that aweful
It just one warp
Can you refinery plutonium?
And I believe level 20
That is aweful! You need 225 common plutonium to get the mining update lvl 20
With pawn rep
And 90 for phaser!
You only get 20 and wait for 20 hour?
You need month to update it one level I you don’t want to pay money
Crazy
i can buy 90 plutonium from faction store every 22 hours
i guess the amount is based on level then?
What ops level are you?
It build Botany Bay few min ago
Very low
It Dow. Wan to pay the money ! I wait but I pay the update package! It mir interesting because of the seldom gas
what operations level are you?
125 Fraktion point
Really at the beginning
But the could put the warp range to 20 with lvl 3 bounty bay!
Other wise it is us less
Without scouty
Scotty
Given that BB is a 3* ship i'm guessing if you are under level 20 they have deliberately not allowed you alot of plutonium to purchase per day because they don't want alot of players benefitting from a 3* ship if you can;t use other 3* ships
I'm beginning to think this event sucks! You finish the missions and now you are hostile in that region of space and at the same time there's no way to fix it.
I actually spent money on this game? There's a certain point where something is so broken why spend money on it
I'm ops 25 and only see 20 common plutonium in store
Where do we get the rare plutonium?? Not in faction store
@lethal grove you can boycott all you want, it will make no difference to the developers. Western Hemisphere players make up less than 5% of the games playerbase. Now if you can speak chinese and get those @#$%ers to join you, that might make an impact.
@pallid crow to mine in augment space you only need 2 ships, i miner and warship. Target bounty hunter that comes after miner and destroy with warship. No more hunters will come after miner
☝️
Now I get 500 but need credit
@prisma sierra ty
When does the event store close?
the day before you get the last thing that you need from it
Since yesterday a had no Six BB pieces in the store, but i need 24 more and yes i finished all missions. Or is the event only for players who spend money on it?
the 6 pieces are still there, even today.
Actually the BB pieces get removed from store when you build the first free one.
Indeed...just like ns originally it's setup to be a one per player deal
Buyers get an early advantage is all
I havrnt paid a penny and my bb is cobtructing right now
Q: Is ops lvl have affect on Agument fraction shop?
@shrewd plover Just augment reputation level
So we have a Massive Bug
@shrewd plover Why?
I will post now shop options of My and My Alliance mate. We both are P.a.w.n lvl but he build BB today and I build it on Day1
He can buy 100 uc plutonium and I can buy just 5 uc plutonium. Why?
@low heath
@shrewd plover Hmm, not sure there. I just went from Pawn to Associate level and my store updated immediately. Perhaps there is an Ops level effect, but I haven't heard of one. Have to ask some of my guys to post their stores to see.
Problem is that devs in update didn't mention anything about it. This is not test server and game is worldwide released long time ago.
This sort of info have major impact on game and they can't be hidden.
<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> Pls explain this
@shrewd plover Does look like there is an Ops level difference
Look like devs can stick that info in their a..... now
I have seen a lvl20 player claiming to be able to buy 100 uc plutonium, for me at lvl 25 limit is 5. Might be something to do with bb tier?
@cedar echo That was the only other thing I was thinking, or you have to get the item x amount of times before it changes.
I have not yet touched BB, as there is a requirement to get a certain amount of plutonium for missions.
That is another hidden info that have massive affect on gameplay. If it's true ofcourse
Unfortunately, Transparency is not in the Scopely dictionary... which is why we have to rely on players helping players or Hivemind.
And its usually the business side of the company that is to blame, not the Devs...
Yes and still. Scopely fault. Doesn't matter what department we blame for it
So is the only thing to gain from this new faction a new set of officers?
Does the botany bay + Joaquin bonus works?
Yes it does
I don't feel the 650% + Joaquin's bonus seems to be working as the horizon mines faster
Botany's base mining is 300% + 650%, would be close to the rate of the Horizon, no?
Yes but unless you're higher than lvl 22 you wont be able to finish the missions to get plutonium to be able to upgrade it. My bot bay can only hold 2k protected with Joaquin captain and T'Pring as an officer...I just threw my big envoy at it and will take whatever it will mine.
Considering that set up in my envoy has 20k protected I'll run with that.
@elder scaffold You have to take into consideration the level of your Horizon versus the Botany Bay
If your botany Bay is only a Tier 2 (Like mine is), it is slightly worse than a Tier 7 Envoy mining wise for data.
Remember, at each tier + mining Laser, the better it mines for its purpose.
The Data Mining improvement is only improvement on that base of the mining laser.
If you have a Fortunate or Envoy at max tier. Build another one. Compare the base Fortunate/Envoy with your max tier trying to mine the same node, you will notice a significant difference.
Did You compare values of BB pack for 50$ on different ops lvl.
I'm ops29 and my pack contains 11 rare gas. My friends on ops30 have same pack with 50 rare gas. Others rss in pack have significant increase as well. So everyone bellow ops30 are screwed hard.
Scopely design. Nothing more, nothing less...
Uhm.
Don't think so. What Grade Gas?
Cause I am Op Level 24 right now... And here is what I see:
So the G3 Rares is where you are seeing it.
And apparently, at Op Level 24, 45 Uncommon Plutonium.
Uncommon plutonium is nothing. Rare plutonium is something that you can't get so easly
Pack for ops29 don't have it. Pack for ops30 got 46 of them
Is there a use for corrupted data once I move the PAWN reputation or is it only decoded data needed then?
@rapid sky daily purchases
@shrewd plover so what is use of decoded data? when do you start to use it?
They both are used for daily purchases in Aug store
I'm at SERVANT now with 2300 reputation so trying to figure out what's best to mine before I level up and start to get targeted by bounty hunters 😃
At P.a.w.n lvl you will need 10k of corrupted data and 50k of decoded data for all daily
@shrewd plover yikes... thanks
@shrewd plover seems that there is difference as well, for me only 2800 corrupted and 16500 decoded is enough on pawn (about 11k rep, lvl 25, tier 1 BB)
What Kind of Event Osthessens Khan Repair Technologie how can I do it?
Its passive. You don't do anything. It's not something you can complete. Read the text.
Basically, it is a limited 'auto gift' to everyone.
Where do u get plutonium from ?
Hi, are people getting problems getting the augment points in the hubting hunters event?
@jolly kernel From the Augment Faction Store - Purchasing with Augment Credits.
@fleet skiff - What kind of problems?
@pulsar solstice there is nothing in my faction store. Just buy credits or shards for cadets
Check your faction level. You should be at least 'Servant'.
Just checked I am servent
How much into servant?
I know it's not along the current topic of augments and such but any clue how long until the next race to 20 event?
Nope sorry
@pulsar solstice not getting the aurgment credit when completing the hunting hunters event (I am supoosed to have received 190 credits for getting 20 pts, 380 cr when getting 50 pts...)
I completed yesterdays this morning and now im at 20 from today's but 0 credits received
@delicate moth @sharp ibex have you heard of any other players not getting Augment points in the daily hunting hunters event?
Wait you get credits for hunting the hunters? I'm only getting rep
@cedar echo thanks, I wondered if it might be level related... that sounds a bit better lol as I'm level 24
If I use plutonium to upgrade the Botany, it discounted from the count of botany mission part 2? Because yesterday I bought 30 of plutonium and upgrade it and not move the mission count forward. Still on the same number before buy it.
That mission, along with No Rest for the Wicked, is set to look at 'What is on hand' versus what you collected.
So right now, it is best not to spend any Plutonium or Augment Credits until the mission is done if you want that mission to be completed.
I already raised this concern with Scopely... Especially the fact the wording of the Missions are 'collect'. Not 'have'.
I literally lost a day's worth of time on it because I found out that the credit towards the mission is LOST when spending. And it is also applied to the Plutonium, which is silly when you want to upgrade the Botany Bay and need to use Plutonium.
How long will event store be open?
So I’ve been buying the daily reputation, finishing the daily hostile events and have finished all the faction missions. Still not good enough for the 4 day loyalty event?
Anyone else in the same boat?
Aye @flat plinth . Setting sail for fail.
Well then. Glad I tried this event. 😡
The only good thing about this augment expansion is that it shows that scopely knows how we should be compensated for our time, vs the slot machine that the refinery is currently. The bad thing is that everything else about the augment expansion is poorly designed or pointless.
Augment expansion to me is nothing more than extra rss for free from the quests.
If you're going to photoshop things, you need to work on your grammar skills. Your first "buy" is incorrect. Other than that, nice work, very funny.
@flat plinth I'm in the same boat I'm going to be 8896 points short of finishing the augment loyalty event
Has anyone finished the augment loyalty event?
Put quotes around ‘buy’ and the typo becomes part of the joke
I finished it. You had to be on the augment stuff early before the event to get rep. Once you hit associate you get a lot more rep in the store which let me finish the event.
The entire event is jacked up. Its geared for the level 30 plus crowd.
As ftp, I used this as a much needed break from events.
That was smart. As a paying player I was excited when I heard it was based on augment faction rank and not base level. I was disappointed. Huge waste of money
I play a few different games and each has events... So it can get a bit tiring.
I was actually relieved STFC had one I didn't need to feel guilty about missing. 🤣
Aye as a predominantly pve player this faction and therefore the events have little to no interest for me. Will plod along getting bb up so I can lvl up joecargo but that's about it. Without meaningful rewards for participation (g1 rss, g3 uc etc) there's no real incentive to bother.
Where is the retro mission
Has anyone been able to complete the solo augment loyalty event?
I'm about 4k short but have already everything available in the faction store and have completed all missions.
Does anyone know how many botney bay part missions there are?
i'm up to 6 so far
Im on 6 as well. Wondering how high it goes
Then what am i missing? I'm 4k short of 50k reputation.
if youj're referring to the gather plutonium ones
@wintry ferry have you been doing the Hunting the Hunters missions?
Yup all of them
and spending the augment credits for reputation?
then the timing has been your enemy on the cooldown timers
there's still 9 hours and 27 minutes left on the event on my server
but if you're shy only 4k, then my guess would be the timing of when you first started collecting rep from the faction store and if not missing a cooldown by much
i hit associate and was able to buy 10k faction rep after that
like with the other factions, a lot of new stuff appears in place of the previous rank
also, those khan tokens. i've saved mine so far and i noticed the rewards went up drastically based upon faction rep
yeah
pawn i think they were 60 credits, then next rank went to 130, now at associate it is 2255 credits
@spare jungle the last crew slot unlocks at max tier for all ships (afaik) so check what ship lvl it unlocks at and divide by 5, that'll be your max tier for that ship...example: final crew slot on envoy unlocks at ship lvl 35, 35÷5=7 so envoy max tier is 7.
I have built the Jellyfish, but the Spock event didn't trigger - does someone has a solution?
Anyone know where we get the decoded data? Doing event free so just getting started.
@lapis portal i think it's a rare random drop from handing in corrupted data. I've gotten like 400 of it and i'm pretty sure it's not from missions.
@limpid haven Hasn't that event expired already?
Think you might be too late; if you still see it; make lots of screenshots as proof and contact customer service
No when I was posting it
For sure I will contact support - I have lost so many speed ups to finish on time and build the Jellyfish just because of Spock and Sulu Shards
I don't even need this ship - I already have one Jellyfish
☝ already having one might be the issue
Anyone else finding that the accelerators don’t give you what they say they should?
I don't know if having one is the issue or that I was tiering up my NS, but I had an event and I participate and I expect to be rewarded - not punished....
It might have to do with how the game checks for eligibility...already having one when the second build is completed might be causing the check to come back as ineligible
I dunno I'm not a coder
Hugejackman yes, mined 48k of uncorrupted when I thought I was mining decoded
So one of the only accelerators I can find for decoded doesn’t actually work right, that’s great to know lol
<@&509691205798592532> Is it already a known issue to you guys and the devs that some of the accelerators may be producing the wrong material or are just labeled wrong?
@minor bloom may be labeled wrong, we have escalated it
@native sleet have screenshots of the other two nodes on that generator if you need them, couldn’t add them due to discord size limit but they are also producing corrupted for an accelerator labeled as a decoded one.
We’ve had many people submit them so thankyou @minor bloom
No problem, hadn’t seen it before so I figured I’d put it out there
😊😊😊
And by ‘massive prizes’ for the new datamining event, they mean ‘total shit nothing prizes’.
anyone else think this event is more lame than normal?
not gonna lie
i was hoping the event store would get an improvement now that most have the botany unlocked
No rss rewards = no dice...swing and a miss scopely
There are so few mining nodes that it’s not even worth trying
For garbage rewards anyway
Less than 150 nodes vs half a server...gonna get real messy real fast
And the bulk of the nodes are low yield corrupted data too...gl with that I'm out
as higher the system, as fewer nodes are in it. in the last system, Yarda, there are just 3 nodes...
Aye 16 systems with a max of 12 nodes each ...some with only 3, 6, or 9...
Either scopely has no goddamm clue at all or they are evil geniuses...and they sure as shitballs aren't geniuses
Evil and clueless aren't mutually exclusive though...
ok, I am a bit surprised, there are exactly 267 nodes. 78 with decoded and 189 with corrupted data.
They want us to fight for the nodes and I don’t like where this leads. We have a nice mining peace in our server and if they start making mining nodes scarce it will all go down the shithole
@lapis portal it is in the level 28+ augmented systems like the one my ship is in. You mine it like normal and it is green not red like the corrupted data
Does anyone know when the next faction event for fed, Klingon and rom is so I can maybe get rest Bp?
Where is the recuperation mission at anyone know?
Are there any story arc missions after "The Coming Darkness" mission?
What mission opens way to Duriana in new area?
Yeah all these events are missing the mark. With the repair glitch still affecting how much ships cost to repair, and no resources in the rewards for any of these events, while only encouraging mining of a certain type of material, it is leaving all servers very starved of resources.
yeah, people have resorted to fighting over trit mines which hasn't happened in months.
Are there fixed systems for finding the items or any system in the level range?
@minor bloom maybe your servers. all my guys and allies have over 100m of steel and close to that in trit. dil is high too
Sounds like we need to take a stroll over to @ruby lion 's server and raid some bases since no one else seems to be doing so.
as soon as you can find out how to, please do
@everyone so how does one aquir plutonium?
@dani0805#1052how did you get the mining peace in ur server? Ours needs help bad!!!
you aquire it in the Faction store, under Augment, when it shows your faction levels
Hi all. Question for the group. At lvl 19 I'm not seeing plutonium in the faction store. Is this a glitch? Does it unlock? Am I too low? What's the deal?
Wait what 30? Does this mean I won't be able to upgrade BB at some points because im not OPS30? p_o
I have uncommon (Lvl26). I guess it’s more about your level of reputation
@abstract gate it is definitely gated to reputation, can't say for sure if level is not involved, but I dont see why it should be.
It's on purpose not all players have option by plutonium with augment credits
Why is. solo and and alliance event is so inconsistent? My ally has to mine 3 million points in two days! The did it in 12 Hour! For the solo event i have to mine 1,36 million points that is 136 k decorded data? With one ship it is impossible to do it in 24 hour! I have to mine other Suffs!
Everything in augment space is a big bugged mess 😬 😬 😬
I just did a search in here for plutonium and read the comments. Possibly meant rare, I didn’t check but I have uncommon at 25 too
Uncommon plutonium unlocks at Pawn faction status and rare at Associated.
I'm associate with the Augment and do not have the option to get rare Plutonium atm. It may be linked to the BB tier as I do not need those currently. Forced to get to 375 uncommon plutonium for the mission...
How does one be able to get the Loyalty Token once per day when your Bulidings and reasearch need more than two days?
Theres no sense for me. A loyalty Token should be for people playing everyday and not twice per week.
<@&509691205798592532>
You can always speed up the process.
Sure. For real Money. If you’re speedups are empty.
But that should not be the Intension.
@abstract gate I agree. If they don't want to adjust build/research times, they should decrease the total points you need to get the loyalty token
The only way I'm able to get it each day is because I've spent $$ on Prime Research/Build Speed
Dailies without those 2 are still easily got just doing faction mining and killing gives you the points. But Agree the targets are a joke. Same with daily research events. Impossible to hit top tier
I wouldn't consider the 25 faction kill daily easy in my case. It has me killing level 29 hostiles and I'm level 23. Not impossible, but not easy, and certainly not cheap lol
Oh yeah the levels are a joke. I'm just about to trigger needing the level 29 kills.
At Consort rep level I have to kill 25 L31s for top tier. Luckily I've been taking care of research and whatnot before levelling up and gaining faction status, so I'm (barely) prepared for the 31s. Still takes 2 runs with 240K Kumari.
Also luckily: faction rep isn't coming in as fast now that I have to do 30,000,000 points for top tier of the daily rep event, so I'll probably have a Saladin by the time I jump up another rep tier
I don’t understand the logic of the attacking from bb hunter! Sometimes the attract my bb and legion but not my horizon! In area the don’t attract my bb
I don't have the option for uncommon plutonium in faction store and I'm at at Pawn status. I've just unlocked Botany Bay part 4 mission where I need to gather 15 uncommon plutonium. How am I supposed to do this without access to uncommon?!
@wintry vector what?
Weird, I just had a miner destroyed by a bounty hunter while still 2 minutes out in warp. how is that possible?
with the power of bugs, anything is possible!
@abstract gate increase your reputation level.
Reputation makes no difference
Indeed it is based off of Station level not Reputation for Plutonium.
That's strange, because I didnt have any plutonium available at the beginning of the event. But as I increased rep it became available.
Plutonium types and amount you get are dependent on player level, not faction rep.
Definitely also rep, uncommon became available to me at pawn status
Whats OPs are you ? @echo parrot
28
Ah that explains the difference
Augment yellow spaces say untrustworthy ... But faction says pawn. 4 hours ago was data mining but now of 1& half hour ago when I became pawn I can't data mine
Why can you not mine data?
what lvl r u
22
do u have ur vahklas
Yes just got it
how strong is it
44k
how strong is ur kehra
ok are u trying to mine decoded or corrupted
Corrupted
how strong r the guys who attack ur miners
First was ALN renegade Sullivan (1) hostile explorer 54.6k
The 54.6k suggests you were in an L26 System...
Radden 22
23k Suggests the L22 System.
so what u do is bring ur miner and ur strongest ship with it have ur miner go on a node with ur attacking ship attack the bounty hunter once a new bounty hunter pops up it shouldnt be going for ur miner it will be going for the ship u killed the last bounty hunter with once u notice that its not going for ur miner recall ur attacking ship and the bounty hunters will leave u alone
The other was treason x32 level 28
Radden I was in earlier and was fine because I went up on augment to pawn it started
Terazon X 32
All augment areas coming up untrustworthy
The deeper you go in, the higher power the bounty hunters will be.
I realize that
And actually, sec, the hunters usually target the first ship that enters the system. If you send two ships in, staggered by 'minutes'... A bounty hunter will also target the second ship.
ya just run from the one going after ur attack ship and kill the one going after ur miner than leave the system u wont have bounty hunters coming after ur miner
I found if you have the second ship come into the system by less than a minute, you can, for the most part, prevent a bounty hunter from spawning after the second ship.
Or you play 'runaway', bounce between systems and work it out from there.
but like i said if u do get 2 bounty hunters one on each ship just kill the one going for ur miner
Why has it changed as earlier was mining for hour at time
Your rep status may have changed it accordingly.
cuz once u get to pawn with augment thats the beginning of bounty hunters
Nothing warned of this
It was mentioned in the Official Annoucnements and hinted by the Faction Space Quests...
Thought augment for both was same rpthey would called it differently
its the same way with the other faction space once u get the negative to a certain point
I miss understood that
I don’t understand the logic of the attach ! I send my 280 k horizon in 28 area one suliban attract me! That it
But sometimes the I attacking again and again
has anyone been able to obtain rare plutonium in the augment store
Yes -- but you have to convert the data to faction tokens
how do you get uncommon plutonium?
How long is the event store open?
The Botany Bay blueprints are gone from the faction store? I need 6 more...
The gap between hunters is roughly 20 seconds
So if you warp a ship in first make sure your miner warps in less then 20 seconds behind and a hunter wont go for it
@opal basin im in the same boat.
I sent a message to help, and they said look for more missions. I already did them all!
Im mainly bummed I cant help my alliance in the event. :/
@gentle rampart uncommon plutonium is supposed to be in the faction store. There is some speculation as to whether being able to see it is level or reputation based. I'm level 23 and pawn rep and can't see it.
@twilit imp ..HOW LONG WILL EVENT STORE BE OPEN TO CONVERT KHAN TOKEN?
It’s both level and rep.
Thanks @abstract gate
I can see the uncommon @ 24 and pawn
@elfin meteor bro, I get uncommon i rep store
Which rep store
@elfin meteor augments, I will screenshot and PM you
You need to be agent or higher I think. I been able to get it for a couple of days now
@ionic basin I’m guessing We needed to grab the bp on day 1 and within 24h for a week. Otherwise pay.
yes it is
he is khan
OK i don't want Khan I want harrison
oh blue is harrison and epic is khan
i went with the right .. cause the gas.. should had gone for left!!
left is khan
4 with 4 with 4 and 4 will get you close to getting him xD
Khan needs 100 plus lol
you'll get there :d ! one day
Has anyone been able to get a response from support that even acknowledges the fact that that players who should be able to see plutonium in the faction store can't? I have heard all of the rumors about acheivments that you have to meet before it becomes available, but I know they aren't true. I know people who are both lower level and have less rep that are able to purchase it from the faction store.
Please fix the auto-shield not working!!!!
@twilit imp Please fix the auto-shield not working!!!!
PLEASE FIX AUTO SHIELD NOT ALWAYS WORKING!!!!!!!!!
@twilit imp PLEASE FIX AUTO SHIELD NOT ALWAYS WORKING!!!!!!!!!
<@&509691205798592532> Is the reputation event over or is it coming back?
@spring fossil
@abstract gate Thanks for sharing that. I would really appreciate it if you could share a screenshot of your original submission and one that shows the name of the person that gave you this B.S. response.
@abstract gate ... Panic is only here to disseminate information and answer questions regarding problems for which answers have been provided. They could potentially pass messages along to the development team but they are not a part of development. Your best bet for getting this issue investigated is to submit a ticket to support through the game. They are slow to respond, but unfortunately, it remains our best option.
Also, discord chat is just about the worst method of tracking submissions or tickets.
@spring fossil
I had another question made before and had an even worse reply but I forgot to make a screeshot.
God... I can't stand how terrible Scopely support is. Thanks for the additionl SS. I appreciate it 👍
@twilit imp ..HOW LONG WILL EVENT STORE BE OPEN TO CONVERT KHAN TOKEN?
@glacial token I am guessing at least till the end of the event
So, is there any way to get plutonium besides the faction store? It never showed up there for me and scopely support told me that wasn’t a bug.
@abstract gate wouldnt happen to know if thats christian from the kabam games is it?
I'd guess that he wants something former than a guess. I guess I could be wrong though
@clever socket it’s thirty seconds actually
Can I get confirmation whether rare plutonium is only available in the store to lvl 29+ players?
probably not
@frozen willow I think rare becomes available as you go completing the botany bay missions.
Scopely....u have the worst customer service ever ......
On the schedule it says until April 28th...but alliance event lasts 15 days longer.....
It’s a very simple information....it‘s not,acceptable u don‘t comment on this
@teal orchid it doesn’t go by missions. I’m on the mission that needs them. Not by rep either because they are available to my friend with same rep
