Is it 200€+ "great" though?
#🏆-event-chat
abstract gate
Considering as you say kumari will serve up to and a little beyond consort and 200€ gets you 3/8ths towards a lvl28 ship. I know with hindsight where I'd spend my cash
rapid sky
I can just about kill 25x29 faction hostiles with my Kumari, and not being very far from consort, not sure how it'll do against 25x31...
abstract gate
T4?
rapid sky
hopefully I can beef it up before that, but #refinerysucks...
abstract gate
Push to t5 and upgrade at least the armour and you'll be golden up to 33's
rapid sky
T4 + MK5 Armor and kinetic weapon
so need 260 UC ore for the energy weapons, I have about 60
abstract gate
Yeah uc ore is a bitch..lvl?
rapid sky
25
abstract gate
Hmm...I'd hold there a while build up rss reserves while working on kumari
rapid sky
I have too much RSS lol
I built a Vakhlas cause I had nothing better to do with my trit
ruby lion
amen. im at 65m steel and 40m trit atm at 25
rapid sky
ok lol I don't have THAT much
not sure what I would do with it if I had it lol
just 24x7 shield up
ruby lion
fuck that, i stay unshielded and keep my 5 devices near me or loud enough to hear
weary raft
Lots of players are targeted on our server for resources. So unless you have lots of peace shields, you can’t build up enough resources for big projects. From the moment you start upgrading ops to level 24, until you have the chance to build the Kumari, it’s about 9M Parsteel and other resources.
Hard to build up this unless you have peace shields. Some people invest resources into ship upgrades on the Valkh and Northstar. Logic behind this is you don’t have a lot of raidable resources. I think this is why you’re seeing more and more powerful Northstars @rapid sky
rapid sky
@weary raft how does a strong NS change that though? players with lots of RSS are raided on any server 😄
if you're level 23 you can be raided by level 35 so practically it makes no difference if you level up unless your server have players lvl 36/37
and yeah it's expensive to build eveything up to get the Kumari
but if all your buildings are already 23 then why wait?
weary raft
I just mean instead of hoarding a lot of resources which people can raid, players put them into the NS and other ships before they get to 24
I ask myself the same thing. I see more and more miners who stay at lvl 14 lol
rapid sky
yeah spend as you get is a good tactic
but at some point NS gets into millions of trit and for base upgrades it is mostly parsteel why not do both 😄
then again sometime you just can't spend it all 😃
weary raft
True lol
rapid sky
once you get the Kumari it becomes about UC ore... ops 25 needs 80
stray tide
@twilit imp are going to see more events(not daily) with UC g3 as rewards?

Killing the hostiles
frozen palm
@twilit imp Is there a mission list for khan/augment missions? I stopped getting missions before the end of them. Support is useless, have refused to help with every issue I’ve ever had so of course they just said they can’t tell players about missions🙄
tawny coyote
@twilit imp @gaunt yacht Hey 👋. What is this weekend event and do we have a schedule for the month of May.
ruby lion
not even they know
narrow yoke
The calendar on the start screen has this week the same as last week, so individual and alliance data extraction events. I can sense your joy from here.
@frozen palm If you haven’t completed the missions go back to the three main systems and look for additional missions. There are a couple of breakpoints where you have completed a chain and need to go back to Midnight, Amador, or Lycia and pick up the next chain. When you’re done you should have 30 or 36 BB bp’s.
And if you’ve built the Botany Bay already you should have all of Aug space unlocked.
frozen palm
😂
Sorry, but my bb is tier 3, I have three augment officers, my alliance won the hunter event, and I’ve finished all hunter killing events. Also my rep is 130k, not awesome but I’m OPs 24.
So I checked all of augment space theee times, and the other three systems you mentioned have no missions for me.
Support doesn’t believe me, but there really is a bug and I probably will never be able to finish the augment missions. Not that I was looking forward to fighting khans talla, but so it goes.
twilit imp
@tawny coyote Weekend event announcement coming soon
frozen palm
Just wanted to point out that I’m no expert, but not a beginner either
tawny coyote
@twilit imp Thanks for following up. Please make it a mining ⛏ with uncommon and rare bounces.
ruby lion
Thats what we all want after this month long mining and hunter event
hexed bobcat
How about some sort of reward for making Ally with the Augments. Or a golden Botany Bay that is announced now (not at the beginning because reasons) for the player on the server with the highest Augment rep. Or maybe just SOME FRAKING BENEFIT AT ALL to reaching Ally.
ruby lion
you get khan
also how tf you get ally already when i have done every mission, event and bought all the rep from the store and i only have 357k rep
hexed bobcat
I bought rep every day, won all the mining events and maxed out all other rep opportunities. Got to exactly 1M when the store unlocked today.
ruby lion
thats what i have do as well. what is your lvl
hexed bobcat
33
ruby lion
see thats some bullshit right there. im 25 and i have 600k+ to go
hexed bobcat
How much rep do you get a day from the augment store?
Oh and Khan isn’t unlocked. You just get 5 more tokens of his. Only 68 more to go for me... should get that in like 3 weeks. Ugh...
meager galleon
@twilit imp No announcement and weekend event starts on a Saturday?
spare jungle
@twilit imp is there a update when all the busted augment mining nodes are going to be fixed... what's that point of mining event if we cant mine

@twilit imp Thanks for the information. What do you mean twice as difficult? I’m already mining right not to build up my stock lvl.

@twilit imp when is the deadline to cash in Khan tokens?

@twilit imp the augment area and faction store will be staying be staying as coming Darkness events end right? We aren't going to suddenly see the area locked off or go away for a period of time, right?

Let's keep players interested and make the most boring event twice as hard??? Idiotic. The galaxy is empty. Players are leaving. Great choice @twilit imp

The 4pm pst items will be available for how long? Only asking cos that's midnight over here....
supple sail
Please no G3 mining events, its already near impossible to find a node long enough to complete dailies. Either that or give us a way to boot these 7-9's that sit on the nodes and cant be touched.
pulsar solstice
@hardy parcel Betting it will be for 4 hours.
hardy parcel
@pulsar solstice what makes you say that?
any chance of an indication of how long the 4pm pst items will be available? It's just they come online at midnight here. ... @twilit imp
barren night
@supple sail that is AWESOME , Funny as heck... They are unstopable
hardy parcel
How the heck does a level 7 player get to a g3 node? @supple sail
keen ledge
Using a wallet wormhole?
supple sail
I believe that is how they are doing it. I have a lvl 7 and a lvl 8 that seem to always be on a node when I am searching. We have a lvl 14 that does the same but at least I can have some of the young alliance members come bump him fer me. That actually can work well as he ties up the node so I have somewhere to take when it is desperation time to finish the dailies.
granite cobalt
It's really easy for level 7 to reach the warp 13 systems with a max tier fortunate. Don't even need Cadet Scotty for it.
Just because a level 7 is mining G3 material isn't a reason to violate RoE though, in my opinion.
fair mantle
kill every player lvl 19 or lower on g3 nodes, even if you dont need the node(s) theres absolutely no reason to try to get ahead on g3 before lvl 20 no reason whatsoever
granite cobalt
There is a reason. Level 14s can start completing faction mining daily goals.
Hell, even level 12s can have faction mining dailies.
fair mantle
kill them all regardless
fair mantle
mining faction were intent to be for lvl 20+ not some lower lvl because they decided to go some weird grind way
granite cobalt
I thought the game was meant to be either grind, or pay... so why not let grinders grind?
fair mantle
ima grinder, but when i see a low lvl player on a g3 node i need, drives me nuts, cant help but to kill him automatically
granite cobalt
And maybe that's why players decide to stay at lower levels so everyone that wants to "automatically" kill them cannot.
If people actually followed RoE, they might have no problem leveling up.
I'm staying at a lower level precisely because there are people like you that want to destroy my ships outside of standard rules of engagement. I would prefer that not happen.
fair mantle
yeah weird how someone want to get rid of a lower lvl player on a node that shouldnt be on it
granite cobalt
I suppose I disagree with how you determined whether someone "should" be on a node or not. The game allows it. Nothing in standard rules of engagement I've seen disallows it.
fair mantle
sure you can een use a fortunate on a g3 node and take 20 days to empty a 20k node or wait why not a battleship, since you "Can" mine with oine you might want to start mining with them instead, sounds good? since you can
and you know what lets hope the open g4 soon so a fortunate with lvl 10 ops can go mine it as well
granite cobalt
Of course you can mine with a battleship, but according to standard rules of engagement I've seen, those are still fair game if over protected.
It's kind of dumb to mine with one since it's so slow and protected is so low.
rapid sky
on our server attacking battleship on a node is fair game over cargo or not...
granite cobalt
Yup, I was going to say the same thing.
rapid sky
@fair mantle so what about a lvl19 mining with an envoy? he mines at the same speed as a 20 or 21...
granite cobalt
But I have not seen any rule that is like "anyone under level 20 on a G3 node is automatically kill on sight"
rapid sky
@granite cobalt nope, many of our alliance members levels 18/19 are mining G3 for dailies and also to get some stored for when they can start refine
granite cobalt
Exactly. @rapid sky
rapid sky
they often get attacked by alliances who don't respect ROE/EMK as they are "easy" targets as they haven't had a chance to power up their envoys all the way through
fair mantle
lvl 19 ill let it go as they are very close to 20 but if theres no other nodes they are going to die first before a lvl 34
rapid sky
lol and a lvl17 @fair mantle ?
granite cobalt
I'm just saying, you could theoretically have faction mining dailies even at level 12 if you paid for a jellyfish and started grinding factions.
fair mantle
either way guys you all sounds very new players(below lvl 20) i never mined g3 below lvl 20 and almost no one on my server did ever besides some little snowflakes that we kept killing as we needed the nodes
granite cobalt
So your point is just because you never mined below level 20, means anyone else should be prohibited from as well?
fair mantle
our server doesnt mostly besides a very few selected snowflakes
granite cobalt
Okay, well, I see nothing wrong with being a selected snowflake. Such an honor! 😄
rapid sky
@fair mantle I'm lvl 25 now, I started mining G3 probably around 17/18 for faction dailies, if I knew about it at 14 I would have probably started then...
and at the end of the day I had a nice stack when I hit lvl22 and could start doing 2*12K
fair mantle
3*
granite cobalt
The bottom line to me is, you can play the game how you want, and so will the selected snowflakes. I don't think any of us have the right to determine how others play, as long as it's within the terms of service. @fair mantle
fair mantle
sure so you want to tell me i cant kill people i want? regardless of what reason i want to kill them because you made some weird rule that safeguards you from me because your special in a way or another, but thats ok when it benifits you
granite cobalt
You can absolutely kill people any time you want! I'm just saying it might be a violation of standard rules of engagement, and that may or may not come with consequences. The choice is all yours.
No one is forcing anyone to conform to any rules other than the ones hard coded into the game.
I believe in your freedom to play the game how you see fit.
fair mantle
put it that way im dual faction and need to mine almost 20k ore/gas i can do it inn a few hours so when i see a low lvl player that will take 20 hiours to mine 1k of it, it does drive me nutz but dont worry i cant hit anyone below lvl 20 anyways so your all safe from me anyways
rapid sky
even a fortunate mines 3* at 900/hr (without officer buffs)...
I'm also dual faction, and I have no problem completing my dailies without getting angry at lower level players who do the same 😃
fair mantle
same i dont mine in none faction space for that reason i got where only warp 30+ or so is required so i dont have to see them
rapid sky
there's no 3* resources in non-faction space anywhere less than warp 22 anyway...
fair mantle
yeah warp 22 is way to close i even see those lvl 14 is faction sopace where you need a round warp 25 ceti something in fed space
granite cobalt
Yeah it's 16.
rapid sky
only place I see those low levels is in Voss/Priya and other warp 12 systems.
fair mantle
Tau ceti(34) in fed space on a g3 node with a fortunate...if this doesnt drive you crazy]
rapid sky
that's impossible...
fair mantle
thats what i tought
granite cobalt
Only way it's possible is if someone moves their base there.
fair mantle
i think they move somewhere nearby and can still reach that pocket but i did see it
rapid sky
how do you know it's a fortunate? I suppose could be NS for those who got it before they limited it to lvl18
I'm pretty sure it's high warp from all the nearby systems
fair mantle
look this isnt a matter of debate im just telling you what i seen not if you believe me or not
rapid sky
lol fine, you win 😂 😂
fair mantle
👌

Commanders,
As “The coming darkness” is slowly coming to an end, prepare for some changes coming this weekend.
- Starting on Saturday at 9:00 AM PST, we will be adding more items into the faction store such as resources, G3 materials and increased accessibility to Augment officers
- The mining events will be twice as difficult but will have twice the amounts rewards
-Starting on Friday at 4:00 PM PST, there will be a limited time sale through which you can directly gain extremely valuable augment content.
So travel to the Augment space with your Botany Bay and start gathering Data!
Faction store tomorrow at 9 am

And I’m being serious. At 33 and Ally, I get 50 for 5000.
How come lower level and lower faction rep get a better deal on Independent Credits??? Anyone have any guesses?

Because they are lower level and lower rep

Looks like I'd better grab them while I can, how does the augment credit value change as you level eg how many can you buy per data amount

they are purchased with augment credits
and the higher level you get the worse of a deal it is
LOL, so buy em early

as has been said many times the economy of this game stinks.

Why are they 5k for me at friend and 3k for others? @twilit imp wtf is the point of progressing if you just get kicked in the balls for your efforts?
2k?
Typical scopely reasoning..."you are 29? You must be a spender. Go spend some more or gtfo.."
That is some seriously shady business practices
And, yeah yeah I know if I carry on calling attention to scopely's bs I'll get banned panic. At this point I really couldn't care less.
bleak tree
I would guess they are trying to level the playing field and keep the lower level players active by offering them better deals. I am Ops28 and if that keeps the mid to lower ops20s going then I am all for it.
solid portal
How many credits do you get for turning in a token?
bleak tree
It is really not much of a difference... 50 independent credits for XX amount still means it’s going to be a while to save 1000 independent credits for the first upgrade...
ashen pawn
At least you can mine for the resources wish you could do that with Klingon creds
abstract gate
Technically you can...dailys give a pittance in credits
ashen pawn
Suppose in 20 days if you mine a lot you can upgrade 1 officer.... yay
Back to trying grind Klingon creds for a bortas without ruining my fed rep
I wont be spending any Aug credits anyway until they release the rss options uc ore is what I want to spend them on
rapid sky
@abstract gate in higher OPS levels you can get more credits for more data, you can mine data faster cause you can upgrade BB further so all in all it does make sense
it's stupid they actually make a difference by ops level but since they do then having different prices for anything in the faction shop is logical
the game is actually very much geared towards making the strong even stronger... take all the leader-board events, there's no chance for a lvl18/19 against the lvl30+ whales yet they all fight for the same ranking...
abstract gate
As OPS23, I have gotten the 3-5 rewards several times by saving up a lot of resources and delaying upgrades for officers/ships until just before the events end.
rapid sky
@abstract gate was talking about the augment data mining ones 😃
and yes if you save up officer/ship XP like crazy you might get to win one of the higher rewards once in a blue moon
abstract gate
Oooooh, yeah looks to be a difficult one.
rapid sky
still if I look every event it's always the same players having the top spots... all lvl 30+
last officer event someone spent 1.5M officer XP
rapid sky
lol well usually it isn't so high, but 2nd was like 700K so I guess he just wanted to make sure he stays 1st lol
abstract gate
Rofl; the top rewards are pretty sick; would've liked to see those spread out more instead of 100% 1st, 50% 2nd, 25% 3-5 etc.
rapid sky
they should do them based on level range... then the lower levels will have a chance
abstract gate
That'd also be a nice addition.
rapid sky
and yeah the previous leader-board event (was it research or station or whatever) had 600K officer XP at top reward
so basically one feed the other...
abstract gate
Yeah noticed that too; win 1 and likely to win another. Luckily it cant be the same player forever as at some point you'll be short officer parts and won't be able to spend any of it haha
abstract gate
Lol that I'd never - I cap myself at 21eur and only if it has good ship blueprints. So far jelly and NS.
But to their own of course. I'm happy being somewhere middle-ish as for strength in universe.
rapid sky
yep, just saying the game is geared towards making the strong even stronger... 😃
but by buying packs to use in events you can usually double or triple their values
I only did it once... there was a pack for Eur20 or so when there was a triple officer event
abstract gate
Yeah, it's a bit inclined to do so. But I'm fine with that, let them cough up the serious dough so I can play for free as long as I feel like.
I think it's boring at the top though, upgrades cost massive amounts of rss and once you're one of the strongest, you have less opponents to be afraid of.
Guess I'm hooked to the thrill of potentially getting my ass kicked every once in a while haha.
rapid sky
lol ohh I'm not in a hurry... would just be nice to be able to actually have events where I have a chance to get to a top reward once in a while
usually I just don't participate in them... better to wait for a double solo event
abstract gate
You'll have to mostly settle for the regular daily ones to get that experience but atleast that's there. :)
Can't have it all I'm afraid.
My mind does wonder from time to time thinking about new types of events. Made a few suggestions in #💭-suggestions already but it's fun to keep thinking about.

Ahm. When is the race to lvl 20 happening?

How are you having a data mining event with broken data nodes? You should have wait until the nodes were fixed

carmine lily
Please stop making serverwide events!!!!!!!!! These things need to be tiered, there is absolutely no way for 99.9% of players to compete. Only top 25 or top 100 get any reward at all, most of the server doesn't even try because just fighting to get anything at all costs too much in repairs and the chances of getting ANY reward at all are pretty much zero.
teal jackal
Is there going to be another Allegiance to the Romulan event after this one resets or is this it?
abstract gate
I hope this is it...I'm out of dilithium lol
soft gate
I hate mining events so bad. I burned through 500k trit in repairs and I’m not even close to the tier 3 rewards. What’s worse is the yahoos who cost the servers millions in trit and dilithium due to repairs and lost rewards will come here and start screaming that the lower levels are all poor and have nothing worth raiding.
ruby lion
The allegiance event is so stupid. The only way i can get rep is by dailies and npc’s. Also im doing dual factions so that cuts both in half every time
carmine lily
limited time officer event in the middle of the night? REALLY? even when it happens then, it still becomes impossible to win within the first 10 minutes. It seems an awful lot like someone is cheating when the same person is coming up with 300k+ of officer xp nearly every single day.
summer basin
@ruby lion go for one faction and when the event is over tied up the second one...

@carmine lily problem with officer leaderboards is there's always a couple of whales that outright bought their faction ships with recruit packs. Many are sitting on literal millions of officer xp just waiting for such events to dump them on. If you are in a whale bracket you are shit outta luck.
The same whales are also learning to save builds/research for those leaderboards often winning another 800k officer xp or half a station or ship pack renewing their cycle of dominance.
Once you realise these leaderboards are set up specifically to reward the big spenders you can accept that you won't ever win (or even place some days)
carmine lily
Then the leaderboards need to be bracketed FAR better. Anyone who has spent that much almost certainly is far too powerful to be in my bracket.
I understand that the leaderboards are set up only to benefit top players, it's that way in virtually every pay to win style game such as this
that's one of the many reasons why games such as this tend not to last very long, alienating the vast majority of the player base.
abstract gate
Not necessarily too powerful, just sitting on excess reserves generated by buying faction packs just for the credits
carmine lily
It's just a make-a-buck-quick-and-get-out scheme
I absolutely blame the cash store, it's the biggest problem of all. Game balance is a thing of the past.
Unfortunately gaming has now come to echo reality, if you've got the cash then you can buy the right to stomp on everyone else.
Here's a great suggestion, flip the rewards from the leaderboard event into the solo event and put the crap rewards into the leaderboard event since high people seem to be just dumping "waste" items into it anyway.
abstract gate
Great idea except money talks and in this case it would scream. Scopely only caters to the 1%er's dolphins, minnows and f2p have no voice.
rapid sky
@carmine lily or just save your officer XP for when there's a double solo event, that's what I do 😄
I stopped trying to win/play any of the leaderboard events long time ago
rancid gazelle
The ranked events are now now bracketed. In our alliance the lower players are seeing different prizes. Plus by timing it right myself and enough other players in our alliance have won top 2 prizes.
But there definitely should be more and higher prizes. To keep it fun for everyone do. But I do sometimes get the feeling that some people don’t realize that a server and developing is not free. Income does needs to be generated to pay for everything.
carmine lily
@rapid sky What is a double solo event? I've been playing since launch day and i've never seen such a thing on my server. Perhaps it only happens at night, all the good limited time events only ever seem to happen during off hours when it's near impossible to play. I'm assuming that's to cater to the asian crowd.
I stopped trying to even place in the leaderboard events months ago as well, but they always coincide with the solo events so I just have to take a look and i'm appalled every single time. It's always the same 1-3 players loading the crap out of the event in the first few seconds, it's pretty much a big "FU" to the rest of the server and that's how virtually everyone feels about it. Leaderboard events are a joke and a slap in the face to the general player base, just another one those things where something great is dangled in front of us but we can never get it.
It's insulting, and infuriating and.....why am I still playing this piece of crap?
abstract gate
@carmine lily double solo is when 2 of the same type appear, for instance 2 officer events one with top milestone of 145k xp spent the other 200k...drop 200k on officers and max 2 events
Same can be done with ship events 15k and 45k ship xp ...station and research are rarely worth the investment even at double events.
rapid sky
@carmine lily they aren't happening very often but maybe like once a week you get 2 officer or ship events, for me they are 115K/150K for top award for officer and I think around 11K and 40K for ship (but it will take me a while before I have 40K ship XP anyway)
@rancid gazelle the rewards might be bracketed, but all the players participate in the same event
and yes I do understand that server and developing isn't free, but if they would bracket those events to a point where I actually have a chance to get top rewards I might actually be tempted to spend some money on the game...
at the moment it's just not worth it, even if I get to the 6-25 bracket the rewards are less of a solo event, so why bother?
abstract gate
At 28+ the bracket is top 10 only...gl placing in it if your server has a pod of whales slapping their metaphorical dicks all over it.

halcyon briar
@rapid sky there are at least 2 separate leaderboards for standard events. My friend is ops 28 and has very different competition from myself at ops 27. My bracket is actually winnable 🤣
rapid sky
@halcyon briar which events are those? the augment ones running aren't, no other events running I can try and double check
halcyon briar
Like the officer or ship exp leaderboards
Sec I've got some screenshots from an event a few days ago
rapid sky
hrm I guess I'll have to take a closer look then, maybe they actually changed it lol
rapid sky
I mean, it's still not really winnable without spending $$$ I guess
halcyon briar
This was mine at 27
True but we're server 15, early December. Everyone at this ops level has spend some money on something. I won the above with some of the lat I had saved up and a botany bay I spend no money on
rapid sky
I mean, I can maybe save all my officer XP for about a month or more to maybe win one event
but even that will be less of the 100$ officer packages which gives you like 1.5M XP
halcyon briar
Yea the officer ones get a bit crazy
For me the ship ones have been the place to look, ship exp is relatively cheap lat wise, and ships are more limited to level than officers
halcyon briar
So basically for me it's like a value add to the pack I've already purchased. I'm not buying just to win events
rapid sky
for that amount of XP I can "win" 4 times double solo events and get in total more UC etc.
halcyon briar
Yea
You definitely need to make sure it's worth to compete. I usually don't dump anything into leaderboards unless I can snipe it in the last 10 mins or so
rapid sky
I'll keep an eye on the ship ones though, thanks for the tip 😉
officer XP is horrible to use latinum for
halcyon briar
It really is
And I avoid station events, research events as well unless I've got a really big research cooking like a ship unlocked
rapid sky
lol I don't really bother with the solo ones for those
one of the research have like awards at 750,1500,3000,6000
several times I did research that gave me 2750 points 😂
halcyon briar
Nope. I won a station leaderboard last week but the final score was less than the standard 15k solo event. Drained all my parsteel to do it
Pretty lame tbh
honest silo
Does anyone know when the jelly event is coming back?
low heath
We need a PVP event, a good one with good rewards, like where you get 3 uncommon G3 (1 of each) for every 5k power destroyed. 3 rare (1 of each) for every 50k, etc.... It would be a battle royale with heavy ships. We get are.uncommon and rare, Scopely gets us to spend rss, win win 😂
soft gate
Only a fraction of a fraction of the player base would participate. Hell, barely anyone is participating in this augment mining event. The high spenders have figured out that they can lock down mining augment space and stunt the growth of everyone else. I managed to mine a whole 8k decoded yesterday and somehow I am sitting at rank 300 in the mining event. Out of a server with 3000-4000 active player, only 300 people have managed to mine more than 8k decoded over the course of 32 hours...on a weekend. 90% of the player base doesn’t have the rss or the power to adequately participate in PvP. They would get nothing from trying to play and would lose a sizable portion of their trit and dilithium. Any PvP event would be a cricket fest.
carmine lily
Just speaking for your own server. On our server every day is pvp day, an event would actually be nice because we'd get rewards for something we're already doing. We wouldn't have to go out of our way to some forsaken yellow zone just to do worthless missions or mining for crappy rewards.
Granted the 2 whale alliances would obviously win by far, but it would be nice to at least get something aside from the satisfaction of smashing back at the person who smashed you.
soft gate
I still remember the first PvP event. All nodes were empty except people trying to sneak in their daily’s. The high level alliances just made peace for two days and rammed realtas against each other. I found an under leveled base and rammed it a few dozen times, shielded and went to bed. All in all, less PvP happened during the event than any other time. Any effort to do a PvP event will result in very similar outcomes. All mining will stop, high levels will game the system, and the server will be a ghost town until the event ends.
carmine lily
yeah...smash the miner is an hourly occurrence on our server, doesn't matter if there's an event or not, miners aren't safe anywhere. The pvp event was actually nice because folks went after the warships that were sitting idle everywhere too instead of just ganking all the miners and running off. It's almost nice because systems are regularly cleared for new miners. Now if the pvp event depends on base raids then the would definately kill everything as most folks would just bubble up and only abandoned bases would left to target, which isn't really worthwhile. It really doesn't matter what the event is though, scopely has no concept of game balance or properly bracketing events so it's always the whale alliances and players that get all the benefits.
The rest of us don't bother even participating in the events because there's absolutely no benefit in it for us, only negatives. perhaps if they made it so more than the top 25 got some kind of reward it would be different, but until then events are pretty much a no-go for 90% of the population.
soft gate
Each turret kill counts as 1 ship kill. I found a woefully under leveled base with 3 turrets and each hit counted as 3 kills. Really easy to rack up 200 player kills when you only need to hit a base 67 times...and the damn thing doesn’t move.
carmine lily
that gets very expensive on active bases, only really works on abandoned bases and you don't get anything out of it.
sounds like a bug in the event tough.
The few people who did that got bored of it pretty quick. the ones who did that constantly had a bot set up to do it for them.
needless to say they're no longer in the game.
soft gate
I only cared about the solo rewards. Was either an abandoned base or one where they didn’t log in for 10 minutes. IIRC, there was no solo ranking, just alliance ranking and the rewards were garbage.
carmine lily
sounds like a normal event, garbage rewards for a ton of work.
It's either a garbage reward or no reward at all basically.
unborn oxide
If i build a 1min Building, to how much points would that translate to for the Station event ?
soft gate
Depends on the building, but typically those small buildings only reward 10-20 points.
unborn oxide
Hmm, so is there no way for me to calculate or estimate how much points i would get ? Hmm 😐
soft gate
Unfortunately, no. That has been a point of contention with the player base for a while. Only point total I can definitively give you is turrets=0 points because of...reasons.
unborn oxide
Damn.. But thanks for your answer 😄
low heath
Tier the requirements and rewards by ops level making it proportionate so all can participate, maybe even a bigger/extra bonus for killing the same ops level +/- 1 to spur more even combat.
And of course, sync it with a mining event with double the rewards for successful mining... just to add to the chaos and mayhem 😂😂

On our server, the Data extraction event with related Leaderboard and Alliance has what appears to be a significant oversight or Scopely event trick. No idea which.
Take a look at the main page from View on each event.
The Alliance Leaderboard and Solo Extraction events have decoded and corrupted data. The Solo Leaderboard has ONLY Corrupt.
Having personally been able to get small amounts of decoded it would be fine with me if those who closed access to from most players who can reach it were able to get only partial credit for data mining. I’m quite sure they would disagree vigorously.
So does this work as stated or not?

In the mega miner events uncommon and ship parts were available to all levels, in this event they have excluded everyone below around lvl 28 from any decent rewards, this is not a good sign.
There’s no point in playing past 25 because it takes weeks to get the resources to upgrade now, what’s the point in logging on?

My cheapest option is payflower at 7kills a run and 70k trit a repair...thats over 700k trit for 500k return...
Kumari is 300k a repair and can maybe do 15 or 16...lol nope 🚮
The uc is n8ce granted but trit is as usual not representative of investment
And every 8 hrs? We mere mortals do sleep occasionally...
Added bonus is you can recruit officers for the tokens for 4ds now
8 hours to knock out 2000 kills. No problem. Let me just quit my job...

😂 I think people at Scopely need maths lessons, how ridiculous. I am level 24, need to kill 125 hostiles 4 levels above me, or 2500 hostiles my level. You guys are just plain stupid sometimes, makes me laugh 😂
But maybe they want people to assess what is a dumb challenge you shouldn’t do, and what is an advantageous one? Or they are just all dumb.

@abstract gate for me at 24 it's going to be 3 runs for the Kumari hitting non-faction lvl28 explorers I think... so about 250K trit in repair for slightly less in return but worth it due to UC and other stuff, and yeah probably only going to be able to complete 2*day lol
wide quest
@twilit imp @gaunt yacht Hey - This event - totally un-realistic! Just like the last one was when it was launches. I'm lvl 26, and I have to hit 25 level 29+ hostiles per day for my dailies, which takes me around 30k in DILT for repairs to my Kumari. Yet looking at the numbers, in what RES we get back in return for the Solo event - It's awful. For me to hit top tier (2000 points) I would only get 40k DILT back. So for hitting 100 level 30 hostiles, it's just insane.
tropic sphinx
how long do we have to spend the khan event store tokens?

<@&509691205798592532> how long for Khan tokens?

I don't trust the event store - haha - seems like they like to change the items available during the last few hours
wide quest
My estimates are that I would burn approx 400k DIL hitting 333 level 29's or 154k hitting Lvl 30's. To get a return of say 70k if i take into account hostile drops also. It's just wrong guys!!! For ALL levels of players. This event needs stopped immediately and the levels re-worked!!
cosmic ferry
@wide quest is right and we have every hostile event same situation ... and after2 days you double rewards ... why you don't adjust it properly from begining ? Simply can't understand your approach... probably some economic thing.

@warm fable you should hit non-faction instead of faction, they are much easier

@fast scarab same thing happened to me. I rebooted and it fixed itself.
wide quest
@rapid sky The strength of ships available in the Lvl 29/30 range are not that different?
Lvl 30 Osaarian Pariah in Xerxes = 154k Strength.
Lvl 30 Romulan Patrol in Rator = 173k Strength.
Considering a full repair of my Kumari is around 14k when I'm hitting ROM or KLINGON hostiles ( Lvl 29 Romulan Patrol in Rator = 147k) I'm still significantly worse off having to hit 100 154k strength ships in no faction space.
rapid sky
well that's ~11% difference which isn't negligible when you have to hit many ships... I'm not saying it's easier than your dailies just easier than hitting faction ship
so if you hit 25x154K ships in one go (probably with some room to spare, I can kill about 28-29 of those with a 230K Kumari), you'll have to do about 4 runs with the Kumari to hit those lvl30 non-faction...
fast scarab
@upper knot i get romulan and klingons points but not token and credits
rapid sky
It's no doubt not worth it for the tri/dil but then you also get a bunch of 3* and the tokens which gives you officer shards

Yeah it’s all about the refined crap
But they’ll adjust it over the next day or two, seems to be the theme

I got a 4 Hour chest earlier with 600 Dil!! I'm like WTF am I supposed to do with that!?

Hi everybody

I have a bunch of Khan tokens. I haven’t really needed to use them because I get enough augment credits through trading in decoded and corrupted data—plus all the whales in my alliance that give 10!

Hey scopely. Since you've brought in a fucking stupidly demanding event to kill shit how about you increase the refresh rate of said pve's to kill?

Don't know what you mean? They want us to kill a lot in 8hrs, all players on our servers want to do it, and the refresh rate for the pve's just isn't there.

If it's a fucking event, why the hell do you need more shit to kill? Don't do it and enjoy some break. That event is clearly unprofitable.
Scopley needs to double the rewards at the very least.
But hey they need to see the first round event reporting and if players kill everything and ask for more shit... you get the point

Event on officers nonsense, profit small, only the ruin on the repair of ships. Booo...to devs :)
balmy hare
@abstract gate yeah I see where you're coming from tbh. The event rewards are naff but the environment for the event sucks.
They're literally not giving a shit
rapid sky
@warm fable so I did some calculations, I dropped my Kumari in augment space where lvl 28-30 hunters spawn (I need 28+ for 20 points), I can get 680 points in one go, this will cost me 10K dil and 84K trit to repair, and require 3.6 rounds to complete
I will get a total of 200,000 trit and 30,000 dil and repairs will cost me around 308,000 trit and 36,000 dil and that's going for the "lazy" way of getting it done, not the most cost effective (attack only lvl 28s)
so all in all not unbalanced IMHO if you consider all the other goodies you get
wispy karma
After the “the coming darkness” I thought maybe the devs had turned a corner as it was a good all round event that everyone could do!!

In any other game you grab more resources during events that you spend into. This is a basic thing. Oh, BTW the most cost effective isn't the upper level, it's the lower level available but now you'll need twice the time each event round lasts.

Dont do the event today.Tomorrow they will increase the prizes and will decrease the points

Most of the people in my alliance are completing it. It does require several trips, and difficulty varies by level and player advancement. However, it’s easier than the last hostile hunt and the rewards are better. I am 29 and need to kill 80 32’s to complete. Ends up being a lot of 33’s and 31’s mixed in there, and space is crowded but respawns are almost immediate.
rapid sky
@abstract gate well like I said that's the "lazy" way and you do get more, you get steel, 3* common and UC and those tokens you can get officer shards with

@shrewd totem Going for Alliance ranking. Purely a matter of alliance population and # of members who complete it.

zenith summit
For me, I get 20 points for L26, 6 points for L25, etc. My 48K Kehra can kill 1 L26 or 7 L25s before needing repairs, which cost 15K tritanium each time. So the L25s are more cost-effective, but it still takes about 75K tri just to get the first level of rewards, which only pays back 4K tri, 9K par, and 400 dil.

@abstract gate I used it for the Augment hostile hunt and the Seperatist hunts. Just grind it out, but don’t kill yourself. Probably the easiest way is to park it in the corner of hostile faction space and let enemies smash into it for xp and rep.
I basically use it for everything I can except high level npc’s, where i have to use a big ship
abstract gate
Yup, I used NS during the last Augment event, it was mining data at middle rate and concurrently grab XP from bounty hunters attacks. When killed, NS insta-returned to base, and warps again with Helvia over the co-pilot seat.
modest oyster
There going to be a glory pack up for sale?
abstract gate
Too bad there was a pseudo-random # of Bounty Hunters attacks.
narrow yoke
@modest oyster here’s hoping there will be a May pack and /or a glory pack. Burning repair speedups over here.
abstract gate
I hope <@&509690795536941056> are taking notes, once again a pve event is rolled out with pitiful reward to cost ratios, a restrictive and unrealistic timeframe (8hr event to make 10+ farm runs with 1hr repair times for me as an example) and zero notice to prepare. Now that the whales have all bought ship packs to cover repairs how about tweaking it so us mere mortals can enjoy it too.
umbral bear
Did we not complain about this event before? And they pull the same stunt?
Just with some added uncommon?
abstract gate
TIP: if you find $100 for one monthly game pack is overpriced then spread your 300 points over a 2 month period and that only $50/month then
narrow yoke
@abstract gate IMO, that is a bit of a dire outlook, but I agree the event can be challenging depending on your advancement through your level and your ship strength.
abstract gate
Or at the very least release the May elite pack already...you know before june rolls around 👀
narrow yoke
👍👍👍
abstract gate
Technically it becomes a bimonthly pack hahaha
halcyon briar
This event is a breath of fresh air after a month of no reward augment crap :P
abstract gate
@narrow yoke dude I'm 29 with 350k ships...it's not challenging it's expensive
narrow yoke
There are 54 pages of people trying to stuff money into Scopeleys hands for a monthly pack. You’d think they’d make with the pixel loot for actual $$$.
Ok, gotcha. I agree. I guess I am just used to burning a lot of speedups.
No other way to do it when your Bortas wants a 5 hr repair.
abstract gate
Spending twice the trit and 4 times the dilithium gained lat or speed ups all for a handful of uncommon...
narrow yoke
Reduces to 1:45
modest oyster
Usually packs get added last later on in the day. I would assume the offers done through their LA office not Europe.
abstract gate
Kumari is 300k trit and 90k dilithium with a 1hr20 repair takes 6 runs to complete...payflower is 70k trit 10k dilithium 1hr15 repair takes 11.5 runs...neither ship costs less than rewards gained and neither can di it in 8 hours without burning additional resources (lat speed ups). I'm more or less an average higher lvl player so I'm not the only one feeling cheated here...again
I dunno maybe I'm old fashioned but shouldn't rewards be...rewarding?
halcyon briar
Idk. If someone told me I could trade 600k trit for 28 uncommons I'd be all over that
dull pebble
I’ve decided to put the broomstick in myself rather than spend my time allowing $copley to do it
halcyon briar
(ops 27) Kumari is 127k trit to repair
Can kill 30s and 31s to complete in 4 repairs
abstract gate
Personally I'm not inclined to trade Tritanium ever against pure Gold. Tritanium is much difficult to gather and you need that stuff for almost everything.
rapid sky
@abstract gate so I just did a quick check... killed 25 lvls 24-25, cost to repair is 7000 trit and 850 dil, I'll have to do that 100 times so it will cost me more than double the cost of killing lvl 28s...
granite musk
Wow being lvl 28 for this event sucks! Lvl 30 explorers are difficult enough to kill with my kumari and yet in order to get more that 1 point per kill I have to kill 31s for 6 or the 32s for 20! I can’t manage 10 32s in one run so that’s more than 8 full kumari repair runs to hit the top milestone.
light pumice
I cant even do the daily event since you know....at work and it ends in 3 hours. That means I would have 1 hour to actually work on it.
green beacon
Way to make the hostile hunt incredibly hard again... In a 26 who has to hit 30s to get 20pts a kill.... Plus a ridiculous amount to finish
...you guys are idiots and obviously don't play the damn game
twin mason
Also seem to have forgotten about the 12 hour CD, back to 8 hours, so don’t sleep......
I think they must have a high turnover of staff, lack of continuity is evident.
solemn shard
Just saw that Kahn token store closes on the 15th? So we aren't getting anything good to turn these fucking things in for?
summer kraken
@solemn shard
The actual augment store has been vomiting out resources
solemn shard
Not if ur lvl 20. No refined rss just std rss.
I'm not talking about augment store though. I'm talking about the Kahn tokens they've been giving us that can only be exchanged for augment credits
ruby lion
@summer kraken not if you are below 27 it doesnt
halcyon briar
Once the timed items in the augment store are gone no @solemn shard
solemn shard
What a bunch of bullshit.
halcyon briar

signal island
Don’t forgetting everyone: It was announced they the event would be twice as hard for twice the rewards... even though no one asked for this.
ruby lion
well its over so it doesnt matter
rapid wagon
Another too difficult rubbish event. 5 hours and too much resources of constant tapping on red arrows. Mining will be twice as hard. Players leaving. The galaxy is empty.
steady quiver
This event is very difficult for high level players. You need to hit 20 x 1.1m ships to get the 500 points. Very trit expensive and no where near the rss needed to fix your ships is in the rewards
winged light
Could u please share lvl 28-29 prizes for the hostile event?
ruby lion
@steady quiver thats what you get for spending all that cash on a mobile game
steady quiver
I am just sharing in the correct channel feedback for the current events.
stoic drift
@twilit imp so question whens event awards going to be comparable to the repair costs , as a lv 24 with only a 130K valk as my strongest ship having to kill 125 lv 28s to max points with a repair bill of well over 200K trit , and only getting 200K trit as part of the award is stupid ...there is no reason for me to even do the event knowing the event isnt going to cover repairs and all it is is a trit dump ...but but you get uncommons........who cars i much rather maintain my repair bill .......not like the 6 uncommon Gas and 8 uncommon ore gets me anywhere near actually completely an upgrade......ill save my repairs for something the repairs will be worth it for
fringe owl
I'm L24 too, and I don't have enough rss to be able to complete this round.
I've got a 200k + ship, so that isn't the problem either.
My net on the last round was -500k trit and -130k dil.
ruby lion
You are doing it wrong then
fringe owl
Oh?
abstract gate
Ignore him he loves to troll
ruby lion
How so? Im only getting about 200k repairs on my kumari
Hit the lowest level you can to get max points and use the triangle.
ruby lion
So you are telling me you are spending over 500k on your ns thats 200k power?
fringe owl
That's sure what it looks like I said.
ruby lion
I... I just dont know what to say then. Im lvl 25 and i dont even have a 200k ns. Also it takes fuck all to repair so i call bs on everything you just said
ruby lion
That doesnt say anything. You could easily have spent on a research
fringe owl
I could have, but I didn't.
fringe owl
It's also theoretically possible that you are a 2nd Discord account of mine, and I am trolling myself for sympathy. But that's not actually the case, and neither is anything that I said being untrue.
ruby lion
What the fuck is an asperation
keen ledge
Actually, Asus... I know you and Kell so... 🤷
ruby lion
Asperation is an insurance company where i am
abstract gate
@ruby lion http://bfy.tw/Ne4F
ruby lion
Yeah im not clicking any links but thanks
abstract gate
Anyway 😂 😂 😂
My trit reduction was about the same @fringe owl
A touch better cause of researchs, and combat triangle/crews
But it tracks
fringe owl
I was a little impatient with the spawns and hit some L30s which also contributes to mine being a bit higher.
halcyon briar
@fringe owl what strenght is your vahk or kehra and how close to your kumari are you?
fringe owl
My Vahklas is 77k ish.
The Kumari is still a good bit away.
I just leveled to 24 a couple of days ago.
halcyon briar
ah
yea rough spot to be in then
northstar isnt the best at hostile grinding though it is a solid combat ship
fringe owl
I wanted to be able to get those tokens instead of straight rss from the Augment store.
halcyon briar
you have to hit level 28s for 20 points right?
fringe owl
Yep.
halcyon briar
have you been hitting faction hostiles or pirate ones?
halcyon briar
switch to pirate ones, they are about 20% weaker
ok
can you get your drydock that the ns is in up to 24 quickly?
23-24 is a large jump in repair speed and efficency
fringe owl
This is the first hostile event where I have had this kind of trouble. Maybe it is just the higher level, but to me it seems like there could be some better rebalancing done.
The one I run my NS from is at 24.
halcyon briar
ok
possibly, but if you had your kumari already youd actually be in solid shape, some level jumps are like that unfortunately
you might have better luck using cadet uhura captain, with cadet kirk and chen in the side slots
more damage reduction than chen as captain
halcyon briar
yea they can be hard to test
and half of them especially common and uncommon dont work as advertised or as well as youd hope
halcyon briar
yw
abstract gate
anyone knows how to get to the event store to use gold medals, i cant see what was advertised on the splash screen
fringe owl
You have to go to where you open officer packs @abstract gate.
abstract gate
yeah great found it, thanks,
fringe owl
sand crypt
this new event is ridiculous again - thx scopely 😥 ... too much time invest, too difficult, repaircosts much too high, this unveriverse has still not enough npcs with high level ! i have to kill lvl 32 with lvl 28 ! really hard to find AND to kill ! the reward solo / alliance is a bad joke for that amount of time ! make your work again plz and think 💡 before u release an event ! i am out of this ... 🙄😐
abstract gate
Generally the recommendation is to wait for ops28 until you have a 350k ship. If you over opsed then yes you are in pain. Level 32s are easy to find though but you need to spend some time into one of your ships. Kumari or your faction ship
^^^^ i am struggling at 25, but that was a decision based on lack of research and upgrades
rapid sky
@fringe owl how much is a single repair of your NS !?
balmy cipher
@abstract gate how strong should your best ship be to go to ops26? My ns is currently 190k and i am Ops25
tawny kettle
Founder server going down in 55 mins for 90 mins guys and girls..
abstract gate
@rapid sky if his is t8 like mine around 70k trit and 10k dil...
rapid sky
hrm so I guess it kinda lose the repair cost effectiveness at that level, how strong is it @abstract gate
rapid sky
hrm ok so slightly stronger than my Kumari and still slightly cheaper to repair
but then his would be cheaper to repair at 215K
leaden cipher
It is not stronger then a kumari
Power isn’t everything
And try to optimize your crew selection when u have problems doing the hostiles
The event is actually not to difficult in most cases
But people are often using insufficient crew
Setup
Event is getting difficult when you are in example lvl 33+
And the hostiles at lvl 36-40 are just a way too strong for common ships
Optimize your crew setup for the hostiles which fit to your strongest ship
If the hostiles are still too strong, you need ship upgrades or a stronger ship
But this should not happen in most cases below lvl 32
Since even kumaris can manage lvl 32-34 hostile explorers well with the right crew setup
rapid sky
@leaden cipher those are all valid points that has nothing to do with what I wrote 😉
I was simply comparing repair costs vs. power
leaden cipher
It was not related to you 😃
rapid sky
lol ok then I go hide in the corner 😂
leaden cipher
Just read the discussion before with @sand crypt @abstract gate etc
Should not scare people that they need a 350k ship at ops 28
At ops 28 you can do the hostile event even with a 250k kumari very comfortable
Just need the right crew setup and right hostiles
rapid sky
hrm what's the targets at 28?
leaden cipher
People often moaning about hostiles efficiency and feasibility, but using wrong crew caus it looks cooler when have epic officers aboard
I think it’s lvl 32
rapid sky
well I just checked my 230K Kumari vs. faction 31s and could only kill about 12, so assuming non-faction 32s are about same strength I doubt you can do the event "very comfortably" with 250K kumari at 28
(and yes I'm using the right crew 😛 )
leaden cipher
Well doing 15-20 ships per cheap kumari repair should be comfortable when u need 80 at all
rapid sky
well do you only need 80? then yes you might be right but might be more like 5-6 rounds
leaden cipher
Maybe
rapid sky
at 25 I need to kill 125*28...
which is about 3.5 repairs of the Kumari, maybe a bit less if I stick to only lvl28 hostiles
leaden cipher
But for me it’s still comfortable if you consider that a kumari at this lvl is pretty cheap to repair compared to stronger ships with 350k+ power
Ppl at lvl 33+ have to kill lvl36 hostiles
And this costs millions of tritanium
In most cases
abstract gate
I'm fucked my kumari is t6...300k trit and 70k dili a repair and it barely manages 15 lvl32's
leaden cipher
You have the wrong crew @abstract gate
Let me guess, epic Kirk crew cauz it’s cool?
abstract gate
Nero coz its right...jeez you're patronising
leaden cipher
Hehe
But Nero is still not the best crew
Most epic crews are pretty inefficient vs hostiles
abstract gate
I don't have Harrison or Moraue (sp?)
thick creek
i still use chen, gaila and gonzales for hostiles, they outperform any other crew i have used
leaden cipher
Should double your efficiency
thick creek
they mitigate much more damage
leaden cipher
Indeed
thick creek
all of this depends on how much they are leveled compared to other crew, obviously if you have never upgraded them...
abstract gate
@abstract gate wanna weigh in on crew setup for kumari? You literally wrote the book on it...well pdf
leaden cipher
Well I just want to say, people should think about possibilities they already have to improve their performance before moaning it’s too difficult to do smth
abstract gate
Never said it's difficult just not profitable
leaden cipher
Then replace difficult with profitable 😃
Still should think about it how you can improve
rapid sky
@leaden cipher actually I should probably try that crew again, though I doubt they'll outperform my Javaid/Livis/Arix setup
leaden cipher
They will for sure vs explorers
But as Drabes mentioned, crew progress also counts
rapid sky
I'm just waiting for an officer event to level/tier them up lol
thick creek
i am using a t7 ns @ 200k which is 40k trit and 9k dil / repair and its definitely not cost efficient to max the solo except for the uncommons which you cant necessarily put a price tag on rss wise
but i'm doing it anyway
rapid sky
I have Javaid & Arix at 15 and livis at 10, kirk/uhura at 20 and chen at 10 I think
rapid wagon
Everyone enjoying the event?
floral trail
I'm not
leaden cipher
You should consider, that people above lvl33 get the same rewards, and have to pay millions of tritanium
thick creek
yeah i'm not making any recommendations as to whether or not anyone should or shouldn't do the event
rapid sky
it's a pretty heavy health bonus which will be gone with a different crew, but let's see
@leaden cipher the rewards are also level based
rapid wagon
Lol .. Scopely are....I don't know...??
leaden cipher
Yea but scaling is not rly in a proper way imho
rapid wagon
Can't wait for the mining event...
leaden cipher
If u loose 30% health , but opponents are doing 40% less dmg it’s still better 😉
thick creek
exactly
leaden cipher
Since your shield won’t get depleted vs hostiles 4 lvl above
floral trail
Pretty sure at ops 25 it's not worth the effort to finish the top tier
rapid sky
@floral trail I'm 25 and for me it does
floral trail
Only gets worse per level though
leaden cipher
Upgrading ships makes them less efficient
Only thing you can do to compensate is upgrading crew, and bonuses from rnd and buildings
floral trail
Yeah daft really @leaden cipher
leaden cipher
At some point it’s much better to get next ship before u upgrade over tier 4
rapid sky
@leaden cipher well I'm lvl 25 and my Kumari is T4, will be T5 "soon"... not going to get any other warship until 28 so not much choice
void frigate
no need for kumari. just use your ns 😄
rapid sky
lol ahh there's come the truth... an NS 😛
leaden cipher
Which is not always better then kumari
rapid sky
I also have a T5 NS, we'll see
leaden cipher
Tier4 kumari still more efficient bs explorers then tier9 ns
floral trail
Mining ship are worth it though
leaden cipher
Just a humble advice, take the money and invest in crew before you upgrade your ships that high
rapid sky
well see my comment above about 31 faction explorers, I can only kill a dozen with my Kumari, and I'll probably get my faction rep to 33/32 if not more before I hit lvl28 ops and can get a faction ship
leaden cipher
Especially when u are not satisfied with the ship efficiency
void frigate
i'm ops 26, have a 211k (tier 7) ns with a cadett crew and can do the event. works pretty well with lvl 30 npcs.
rapid sky
but I'm going to give Chen crew a try against 31 faction explorers after the maintenance
hybrid sigil
these pve events are easier for people at an odd ops lvl, at lvl 25 or 27 you only have to kill 3 lvls up and if you are close to going to next lvl you are stronger. even ops have to kill 4 lvls up
thick creek
keep in mind your results might not be the same if you haven't been upgrading them
rapid sky
(that is if I still need to kill NPCs for the event, I left my Kumari in augment space for the bounty huters to come lol)
leaden cipher
If u improve your ship by rnd and buildings instead of modules, repair cost won’t raise
It seems cheaper on the first sight to upgrade ship, but it isn’t
rapid sky
@thick creek I have them upgraded as much as I could, except Chen that could be tiered up one more time when the next officer events come
@leaden cipher yeah also have all those... foundry is 25, most battleship research done
except the ones that only unlocks at lvl 25, didn't get there yet
urban dagger
Khan store and tokens will close on the 15th of May at 09:00 PDT / 1700 BST
rapid sky
ship hangar at 24 (I think it's a requirement for OPS 25 upgrade lol), and drydock bonuses are broken
but anyway drydocks are at 25
leaden cipher
They are not broken at all, just working in a way we don’t expect and understand 😃
urban dagger
Can someone explain if this means just that u will not be able 2 xchange ur tokens 4 credits after?
leaden cipher
Exactly
rapid sky
well all I know is that after they started the Kahn event my repair cost doubled and repair time went up by like *3 ?
let's see what comes now after the maintenance
rapid sky
I don't mind the extra repair time if it cuts down the costs lol
urban dagger
But exchanging credits 4 rep will still work?
rapid sky
I have 380*30 min speedups
leaden cipher
Maybe it’s repairtime x4 now and costs x6
We are waiting for the promised patchnotes @twilit imp @gaunt yacht
@twilit imp would be a positive effect if the patchnotes are there before the patch this time 😃
leaden cipher
Nice!
abstract gate
before it was 1.45mil, 2hrs 15mins
leaden cipher
Now I can upgrade my ship 😃
rapid sky
yeah, for me the Kumari went from 2hrs before Kahn to 3hrs after and 1hr with the "augment engineers"
and doubled the cost
so if they bring it back to where it was before Kahn I'm happy
leaden cipher
@abstract gate was gladius repairs also adjusted finally?
lusty oak
@abstract gate Give Gorkon (Captain), Kerla (or Koth) and Chen a try on your Kumari. It more than doubled the amount of hostiles I can kill in a run. It's not obvious from the buffs but you basically end up taking strong hostiles out in 2 or 3 turns by smashing them with critical hits
abstract gate
@leaden cipher my Gladii are puny lv5
leaden cipher
No comparison?
abstract gate
@bleak igloo blow up your gladius for scientific purposes please?
leaden cipher
Any changes in warp ranges of the ships Phil?
leaden cipher
Changes of systems warp distance?
abstract gate
nope
leaden cipher

It would be more efficient maybe if @twilit imp could post some patchnotes before we try
But maybe less validated 😃
Phil, centurion weapons fixed?
abstract gate
gonna guess at no for that one

nope

why do I get the feeling that was done on purpose?

@abstract gate many tickets and convo. 0 fùcks given by them. I'm not only person with this issue. 1 guy has a kumi unusable with 5 crew just no capt stuck. it least mine was 1*ship with 3 under crew I don't use. it's been down 1 dock that hurts. 2d BB tiering means I'm down to 1 dock 😓

its worse after the maintenance

repair times are screwed after the maintenance for lvl 26....time to do something else with my time.

Current event sucks with the "fixed" rep times. Thanks scolepy you know how to satisfy your customers 👍

well they lowered the repair costs...
tame pebble
yes completing this event has become impossible with these repair times
gentle cobalt
Not impossible just very costly in terms of rep boost
Maybe they don't sell enough rep time booster

t4 kumari...2hrs 24mins....t5 vahklas 2 hrs 5 mins.....um no thanks

Anyone expected something? After my last contact with the support nothing surprises me ever again in this game
rapid sky
@leaden cipher so I'm a bit confused, Uhura doesn't seem to make any sense with the Kumari for NPC farming

@scopely I think your update and increased repair times have made me realise this is not a game worth grinding for.

Anyone else not getting credit for hostiles killed after update?
It's actually doing it, just a serious lag of about 3 minutes. Cleared localization already

Yeah I hit a few ships and noticed no points
frail furnace
Hahaha, update just killed the event. Do they test any of these updates, or is that our job???
Time to use that one day shield and do ANYTHING else
leaden cipher
@abstract gate regarding repair times. Is it possible that it is same like before all the shit?
Think it just seems to be increased caus khans repair technology reduced much more then it was before
frail furnace
No, none of the buffs are working. when using a buff, it displays normal repair time and then adds you repair buffs...that is not happening
abstract gate
kahn repair event is over, repair times are back to roughly what they were beforehand, Research and drydock buffs have been tweaked to have an increased affect on repair times and costs
tame pebble
@abstract gate stop giving lame excuses, repair buffs are not working

i see them working

tame pebble
what about repair time @abstract gate
abstract gate
roughly in line with pre kahn event
polar pebble
He would say that
glass bramble
Buffs are definitely working. Repair time is back to normal as well. The Khan workshop just made it super fast
tame pebble
there is no reduction in time, when you actually click on repair, which should be due to repair speed researches
i dont see 44% repair speed bonus on battleships when repairing my kumari
leaden cipher
I have a direct comparison for you from yesterday and today
Before patch (yesterday)
After patch now
shrewd tinsel
Repair times doubled for me. This event probably isnt worth the cost any more.
leaden cipher
4h17m raw repair time without khans rep technology, and 3h03 min incl bonus displayed
The only issue is that it seems increased due to the global buff which we had
feral bolt
So basically we asked nopely to fix this and they said here's a bag of d***s...
leaden cipher
It’s same repair time like before, just with bonuses working
And we are now used to the global buff where it was 1/3 of it
rapid sky
yep... same here, Kumari went back to a little more than 2 hours
1hr was nice 😛
but at least the cost went down, so not complaining, I can finally put my repair speedups to use
leaden cipher
Repair time is now as it was before khans events
And repair cost are now efficient enough to upgrade ships
For non-founders players at least 😃
@bleak igloo can you please give us an update on repair info of gladius pls?
errant blade
8 hour hostile event, 2hr repair time on ship, max 4 runs at full efficiency with no travel time
Don't think it's possible to finish the event without speedups
rapid sky
well isn't that what speedups are for?
need to recalculate how many repairs I need though with the crew suggested by @leaden cipher, I suspect it might actually be doable without speedups
frail furnace
That's the point
errant blade
Yeah but I don't want to spend 24 hrs grinding in this game
At least before it was achievable in a few hrs and you could take a break
leaden cipher
I do the event in 15 min incl travel time
The other 3h I spend on grinding reputation
errant blade
What lvl are u?
mild bluff
how many points do you have for the event beltoras
abstract gate
Beltoras, i will try your crew for khumari on explorer : grey uhura, grey kirk and green Chen ? Is it exact ?
Thanks.
@leaden cipher yesterday's repair times were 30% what they previously were (pre kahn repair event) you need to compare to before the augment event
leaden cipher
@abstract gate Chen on Explorer won’t work vs interceptors. Try tlaan
errant blade
I thought 30% discount was on post khan times
leaden cipher
@abstract gate as I said before yes
errant blade
Or aug event anyway
leaden cipher
Repair times seem to work now as they were before. So this improvements on repair times don’t apply
They are pretty the same like before augments
abstract gate
@leaden cipher I wanna say your crew with a khumari against explorer. Sorry for my poor english.
abstract gate
@leaden cipher Thanks i will try that and surely up them if the result is good.
steady quiver
@abstract gate you are ripped off. My ent to repair is cheaper than your BRel
leaden cipher
Any info about gladius yet?
steady quiver
It was dearer to repair before that
It was 8m to repair.
However the docks and research have really kicked in.
This has now become the go to ship.
abstract gate
so now it will only cost you 5mil instead of 50mil to crack my base 😱
steady quiver
It is fantastic how cheap it is to repair.
