halcyon briar
the poor poor 2* systems lol
abstract gate
I'm not really a pvp oriented player so I was sat with popcorn reading gc lol
cosmic sage
The pvp event they did months ago just made everyone hide in their base for the weekend
halcyon briar
I like raiding, finding officer combinations to beat ships i really shouldnt
yea thats why being able to limit pvp scoring to select systems is a huge step forward
ill eat miners for cargo, but theres no value in hitting them just to hit for me
and even then I only go hunting if im low on a 3*
abstract gate
Indeed, forced pvp is bs
halcyon briar
Dont bother with people idling for hours on zeroed steel or trit nodes
abstract gate
@cosmic sage our server was peaceful during the first pvp event, we were all busy realta swarming our alliance members lol
cosmic sage
Lol, my alliance did some of that but all the g2 systems looked like a ghost town
abstract gate
We came first 👍
halcyon briar
I had to do the first pvp event the hard way
abstract gate
My thumbs still twitch when I see pvp events...
halcyon briar
my alliance was too disorganized to get partners going like that
so instead I got chewed out by a member of the top alliance on our server for shooting his fortunate off a node about how I shouldnt attack lower levels and I was stunting peoples growth in the game and it was all a ploy to get us to spend. It was hilarious considering he was higher level, and his alliance swept the 2* hourly at the time
abstract gate
The last couple of hours were epic, the #1 alliance realised what we were up to and almost caught us...less than 1k points between us at the end 😋
halcyon briar
dang nice lol
abstract gate
Think we were #5 or 6 alliance at the time
cosmic sage
On my server one of the stronger alliances found out what we were doing and cried about it.
halcyon briar
on my server the top 5 alliances were the ones doing that with each other lol
abstract gate
We kept it in house...a few would drop tag and realta swarm our stronger members best ships
halcyon briar
we eventually did something like that, but just for the solo points, didnt push the leaderboard with it
we didnt want to get banned lol
abstract gate
We'd have 3 or 4 realta guys and 3 or 4 splattees going 24/7 (shout out to our NZ members)
Don't think anyone got banned...not our fault they left a loophole big enough to fly a galaxy class starship through
halcyon briar
no, I dont think anyone did
but still lol
but thats why Im actually really happy with this pvp event
development time well spent to fix a lot of the issues
even though you can still get a friend and trade kills
abstract gate
The main trick was to rejoin alliance and get a point on the board for rewards
halcyon briar
the tech is there to make something interesting
or at the very least something that doesnt make everyone bubble for 3 days lol
abstract gate
Fortunately where we set up our hive there were a couple of abandoned basses nearby so i just retagged and raided one in last 12secs of event lol
halcyon briar
lol
earnest hornet
It would've been stupid if they banned anyone because of the first event, considering it wasn't against any rules, 😄 lol
lol some of us all joined in and got some points, but I've been of this event, it's just way too hard for the amount of hours to spend in game
just to get the tiers.
abstract gate
If there's one thing gamers are good at it's finding shortcuts/exploits
earnest hornet
hahaha yup 😄
It's just unless you spend money, the bigger guys just get bigger, because no one else can keep up and they just keep getting the top tiers 😄
abstract gate
I think scopely is finally waking up to that fact and actually sandboxing these events ahead of release
earnest hornet
yeah I think it was a great plan for limiting the system for the PvP,
a step closer to finding what works and what doesn't, i think the tiers were way out of whack tho.
cosmic sage
Most of the current pvp event on my server is prearranged so everyone gets a kill.
earnest hornet
to hit 2000+ ships for 90k top tier is only for those with hours of nothing to do or no life
and to do that each day...
halcyon briar
hitting the bosses is substantially faster
earnest hornet
lol yeah, but that's expensive, I'd run out of rss to even repair the ship,
abstract gate
Yeah the drawback of limiting it to one specific system is those that don't want it will just farm in the other 2 safely meaning kill trading is still the best method
earnest hornet
before i got to each tier for the number of times I'd have to repair, saying this I'm lvl 26 with only a 270k Kumari as my highest ship
halcyon briar
do you have nero?
earnest hornet
oh yea kill trading is a good idea for the pvp event.
ummm I don't think so, but i use the romulan guys in my Kumari, so basically as strong as I can for now.
abstract gate
270k you say...where's your base again? 😋
earnest hornet
hahahaha you should know 😄 lol
halcyon briar
ok, if you have nero use kumak captain, nero supporting, grace chen in the third slot, hit the explorer bosses, should net you around 4-5m pointsw
if you dont have nero use arix captain, livis supporting him, grace chen third slot
should get you about 3m points
earnest hornet
hmmm ok, might have to try that,
halcyon briar
my kumari is the same strength 😃
just make sure you hit the explorer ones in the fed boss system
wont work as well against the other 2
abstract gate
Definitely try it...ruggeds advice cut my runs almost in half
Before @halcyon briar tipped me to that crew set it was 10 runs with 3 ships to hit 90mil...after 6 runs
halcyon briar
yea I think im around 10 runs myself but I only use my saladin
earnest hornet
what about Javaid?? as he as captain increases the Shield piercing??
halcyon briar
kumak is better
abstract gate
Should take you about 4 runs with your kumari to hit 19mil
halcyon briar
if you have nero
if you dont you need arix as captain to activate burning
burning is the key
abstract gate
You want the burning
halcyon briar
kumak increases your stats each round so your damage goes up and your health and shields go up as the fight goes on
earnest hornet
Ahh ok, yeah the things like Burning, i don't always understand what those extras do half the time 😄
halcyon briar
well they arent explained anywhere lolk
we all thought they just activated other effects, but burning definitely does damage too
earnest hornet
but yea I don't have Kumak or Nero
halcyon briar
so who knows what other effects hull breach and morale have
ok, do you have livis?
abstract gate
Yeah burning damage doesn't show in combat logs but it definitely does damage
halcyon briar
ok, so do arix captain, livis supporting him
and grace chen in the third slot
I think burning damage may be percentage based, so you wont really notice it in normal combat
but because the bosses have such a massive hitpoint pool...
abstract gate
A tip for anyone doing solo under lvl26 use the above crew set in a talla...2 runs and you're done
halcyon briar
if you are really cheap, my fortunate did 40k damage to the boss with one burning proc and 4 shots from its gun, gun did 39 damage per round
earnest hornet
I shall give that a go.
halcyon briar
but you will lose a lot of time warping so probably not the best method lol
cosmic sage
If I want to use a kumari and a d3 for the bonus points which ship type should I go against? Could also use a valk instead of the kumari
abstract gate
Not everyone has a +5 scotty to get a fortunate out there...talla works well for them
devout talon
+4 scotty is enough
halcyon briar
only need +4 but yea
earnest hornet
tho my vella and Javaid are nearlty three times the power strength of my Livis.
abstract gate
Power isn't everything when dealing with officers
earnest hornet
halcyon briar
power is extremely misleading with officers
earnest hornet
true, their bonuses affect that also
very much so, I mainly look at thieir stats too
halcyon briar
and a level 5 rare officer will have more stats than a lvl 10 uncommon officer
but the level 10 will have a higher power
earnest hornet
ahh yea of course 😄
abstract gate
Hostile farming my cadet kirk, uhura and chen setup works better than any of my epic officer combos
halcyon briar
yea give that a go @earnest hornet I think you will make short work of your daily points
@cosmic sage if you need to use the kumari and d3 go for the battleships
earnest hornet
andin whic system??
halcyon briar
if your vahk is similar power go for interceptors
earnest hornet
are Explorers in the Fed system??
halcyon briar
yea pareleon
abstract gate
@earnest hornet yep
earnest hornet
lol My vahk is only just hit the 200k 😄 didn't really upgrade that with my Kumari 😄
devout talon
I'm doing the elite farming with with a NS and Uhura as capt for the flat damge reduction at the moment.
it feels it's working better then using a Kumari due to the battle triangle
devout talon
at the end I get roughly as many kills as with the kumari, but half repair time, so net farming is doubled since I do not want to use any speed up
abstract gate
Oh god...farming 22's with a ns? The cargo spam would drive me nuts
devout talon
it does, I hate it so much
halcyon briar
yea 🤢
earnest hornet
yeah it's interesting trying out different officers, and figuring out different combos that help bonuses if different ways
halcyon briar
definitely
now that a lot of them are working, and ive unlocked them, and have interesting ships
its surprisingly deep
earnest hornet
yeah and getting them levelled up also the amount that makes a difference
abstract gate
@earnest hornet if you team up with a couple of alliance buddys you can take turns being first hitter...will help speed up the process if you're not having to strip the shields every run
Or if you have a decent ns send that with kumari and strip some shield yourself
It makes a big difference
devout talon
I was using cadect mmcoy for the +% increase in the capt manuver for Uhura, does that actually work?
devout talon
ok so swapping mccoy with t'laan would be more effective
cosmic sage
Does shield damage count toward the event or is it only hull damage?
abstract gate
Only hull
This is why sending a backup ship to shield strip is effective...or teaming up with alliance buddys and taking turns being first hitter
I do it solo with 3 ships because I cba waiting around for others to get their shit together lol
earnest hornet
hence the benefit of Shield Piercing officers
granite musk
Got 0 points logged for that hit
storm cove
@abstract gate is very correct, you really wanna step the shields first, then let whoever needs it, to eat away at the hull
spare perch
Does that really work? Hitting with a talla with Arix, Livis and Chen? How much points does it get you?
storm cove
The points definitely vary with tier, ship and research upgrades, and crew
abstract gate
@spare perch it's only effective for players with low milestones...it relies on arix's burning triggering so not every run will net you points but when he triggers it'll get you from 150k-300k+ depending how many times he triggers...talla is cheap as chips to repair so just keep sending it 'till your solo is done
If you have a free ship you can grind 22's (or 17's if you lack the power) between runs to maximise your efficiency
spare perch
thanks @abstract gate Im 28, so I need 90M points
So thats probably not going to work for me 😛
abstract gate
Yeah this tactic ain't for us
spare perch
I have a 200k Kumari, that aint cutting it, so Im sitting this one out
spare perch
Will be 220k later today hopefully, I might give it one last try
no Nero, I do have the other romulans
abstract gate
Ok...try arix captain javaid and chen...thank me later
Oh and hit the fed bosses ofc
In fact don't thank me thank @halcyon briar it's his tip I'm passing on.😉
90mil is still gonna be a slog with a 220k kumari but 18-20 runs should do it, less if you use a second ship to strip the shields first (or team up with a buddy)
At 28+ we are all pretty much spenders and our milestones seem specifically set to compel more spending, either on repair primes, ship packs or faction ships
spare perch
I have spent 10 euros on this game and my ships are correspondinly weak 😃
Ill try Arix, Javaid and Chen, thanks for the tip. Already figured that I should hit fed on my own 😛 20 runs seems doable Thanks for the help @abstract gate
abstract gate
Yeah if you are going the f2p route or close to it rushing lvl's is the worst thing you can do...work on ships first and foremost
Only benefit to advancing ops fast is increased content in ultra packs...if you ain't buying them there's no rush
spare perch
Ive been ok up till now, but the hike from having to do 18.75 million points to 90m is too steep
Well, having an extra drydock and having better refinery/boxes/dailies helps a lot
abstract gate
Yep...I'm a spender and I held at 27 until my ships were up to the leap
The dry dock is nice to be sure but you generally get more uncommons from events than you will from refinery so on balance it's better to stay in a bracket you can breeze through
I'm lvl30 with refinery at 30 and honestly the uc drop rate is still pants 5-10 uc a day if I'm lucky
spare perch
It comes and goes, I got up to like 40 a day. I got massive amounts in the bonus refines, I think 300 in total (one triple, and two double). I dont think I have had days where id get less than 10. I always do double ones. Im not sure if the refinery affects the drop rate, Im starting to think its only ops level.
abstract gate
I've had days or even a run of days where I get nothing but common...that's utter bs at ops30 imo
stable heron
I'm still extremely disappointed that there is not a free way to get the lv 26 faction ship blue prints. What a let down.
storm cove
@stable heron even when there was it unobtainable except for the top 3 or so of the server
stable heron
@storm cove I still have Mayflower blue prints from the first event where they introduced the lv 26 ships. There's no reason why they couldn't have brought that back.
storm cove
Yeah I still have my 20 Mayflower bps as well
stable heron
on my server the rewards this event were for the lv 32 ships
opal narwhal
I reached Friend status with the Augments but still get attacked when I go there, does this ever end? What is the point of being a friend if I still get attacked?
meager galleon
You get attacked by bounty hunters that are after the Augments
You’re not being attacked by Augments themselves
opal narwhal
Ah, that makes sense but still sucks.
meager galleon
The augments use that area of space, but it’s not technically theirs really
opal narwhal
Got it.
meager galleon
You’ll get used to timing your warps for the trick
Goto the system you want to mine in. Select say.. a battle ship first and send it in first then send your miner ship in second (time it within 30 seconds)
So ; Warship arrives in 8Minutes / Envoy arrives in 8’mins 20 Seconds
The BH will spawn for your first ship but not the Envoy
Place your miner, run your warship away. Then warp it out and your miner will be safe
Even if you refresh the node, the miner won’t spawn another Bh
When I say goto the system I mean zoom in on it and warp your ships to the edge of the entrance so that Impulse times don’t mess with your timers
If you just select the system from Galaxy view it randomly places your ships travel time somewhere in the centre of the system
idle lark
Anyone know the lvl 26 solo event reward is? Trying to decide if rushing to 26 for event is worth it?
fervent delta
idle lark
Thanks!
devout talon
that's how many points? 19mil?
radiant flicker
Someone know what to do my pvp kills doesnt count today.... had no problems on the other days to count for event..
meager galleon
Changes system day to day
Double check your pvp event and we what system it asks about
radiant flicker
I know i did the events 3 days now and had no problems.... but today first time it is constina and no counts...
meager galleon
Isn’t it Federation day?
radiant flicker
It maybe depends on server ... we start at fed then 2 times klingon now first time romulan... it counts for other but not for me there
idle beacon
@storm cove Why have an event with objectives that are literally impossible to complete? Referring to the station event going on that requires you to upgrade specific buildings based on your level. If the buildings are already upgraded before the event starts, you just can't do the event at all.
storm cove
@idle beacon the station upgrade event has always been been my bane, I think all building upgrades should work for it, that's why I never do it anymore
idle beacon
Exactly, it would make so much more sense to have it require you to get any 4 buildings to the target level (or higher). Then no matter what building it is, even if they are all complete already, you could still level up and finish it.
OR, they could just reward you for the work you already did. If you already meet one of the requirements, then they should just give you credit for it
carmine lily
@idle beacon i've found that if you already have the requirement complete, finishing another building will trigger the event reward for the one you've already done.
idle beacon
@carmine lily nope, not at all
Otherwise that event would be complete for me already
I'm not referring to the normal daily station events, I'm talking about the special event
I will be at 200 out of 400 forever. Nothing I can do about it. Impossible to complete
opal narwhal
Cloud ox, reset the game. Some times it glitches and restart fixes it.
fair bone
My solo boss and solo PvP have been rewarding gas and ore uc for 4 days now... Will that change to crystal before the end? I have massive stockpile of gas uc when what I most need is crystal uc... What the heck
carmine lily
@idle beacon station events are often impossible to complete due to the time required for upgrades and the small amount of points usually awarded for each upgrade. I haven't had a weekly event in a long time, but i don't remember them requiring specific building upgrades, just points which were awarded very strangely.
I'd try to help duplicate the error but I don't get those events anymore. could you post a picture of the actual requirement?
idle beacon
@carmine lily it's not an error, it's a design flaw. This event is specific whatever monthly thing going on right now and not a normal station event. You have 4 buildings you have to get upgraded to your current level and what they are is determined by your level.
Similar to the mining event, the Elite hunting event etc. It's a special one
They just made it wrong
I had two of those built before the event started so I can't get credit for them
This is not an issue for just me. It's for ANYONE who already completed part of it
carmine lily
I don't recall ever seeing that event. IT never appears for me. I believe you though, had similiar issues with the daily event and just had to complete something else to get it to trigger the points. Just thought maybe that would work here too.
idle beacon
I'm pretty sure it's a level dependent event
carmine lily
probably stops at lvl 20 then.
carmine lily
Not surprising considering all the other game breaking flaws currently in action.
idle beacon
shame since the rewards for finishing it are nice
https://i.imgur.com/Xgi1d8G.png?1
all 4 stages of rewards are identical, so I'm missing out on 10 Stonn pieces
and another event going on right now is a Stonn event. With those pieces I could finish the other event too and get those same rewards (minus more Stonn pieces) 4 more times
so in total, because of that dev blunder, I'm missing out on
10 Stonn pieces
30 2* uncommon resources
438 2* common resources
609.6k steel
32.4k trit
3.24k dilith
and 6 Jelly pieces
carmine lily
ah that event ends with level 18 then cuz you dont get anything with jelly prints after that.
I do vaguely recall getting stonn cards and jelly prints from weekly and monthly events back then.
haven't gotten either from anything since.
idle beacon
They should give you credit for the objective if you already completed it. Or just require 4 lev 18 building upgrades instead of specifying them. It's a problem that would be so easy to fix.
we are talking about 30 min of a devs time
max
Well, it is what it is. If they can't even fix the broken mining nodes, I know they will never dedicate time to something like this
Sorry, just venting about stuff I'm sure thousands of other players have already vented about.
carmine lily
yeah, game bugs, major problem here. too much time spent on new poorly implemented events with terrible rewards.
It's not the coders faults, it's management making poor decisions.
abstract gate
@Panic: level 25, uncommons ore and gas. PLEASE ADD CRYSTAL!!!!! Giving out 350 unc ore and gas and 0 unc crystal becomes a PAIN
olive rover
Sucks, but I get Ore/Crystal. Wish it was Ore/Gas. I need that the most
ebon galleon
I like getting ore and gas as lvl30. I would like it even more if uncommon crystal was part of the rewards as well. I really, really, really need crystal
cloud grail
The game know what you need the most.. And denies you that.( Cue evil laugh here)
abstract gate
@cloud grail 🤣
spring pollen
@idle beacon are you level 18? I am 17 and have been waiting for 1 jelly part b4 leveling up. Just wondering if I rushed 18 ops whether I would get that option. @twilit imp
Is there still 2 days left on it? @Fortigan @Panic
idle beacon
I'm honestly not sure. Do you already have a similar event or is this perhaps a "level 18 only" event?
Surely you can find 1 more jelly part from a mission though.
spring pollen
No I don't have it. Must be 18 only event. Have done all jelly missions.
boreal geyser
it'll come around again or you can pay for it like most have
spring pollen
Yeah can't pay. Won't pay for one BP!!
Crap. Levelled up but don't have that event. So much for the jelly. Should have waited.
jovial goblet
Devs, once again you took something I enjoyed (the events shop) and replaced it with a bag of dix. This event sucks harder than the mining CF. Also, the “special” Memorial Day packs are overpriced trash. I want to spend money on this game, not only to support it but progress faster. However I’m not gonna throw money at whatever dog food you toss into a bag. Part of a ship or crew = worthless tease. G2 mats post 20 = kick in the dic.
storm cove
Happy memorial day to everyone in the US!
abstract gate
Not sure "happy" is the right sentiment for a day of remembrance of fallen soldiers
pulsar solstice
For the kids, it is 'happy' because it means 'NO SCHOOL! BBQ!'.
For the older, more experienced and educated people, it is understanding the sacrifices of those who served in the wars... Most of the the ones are dead with only the Korean War, Vietnam War and the more recent Iraq war/Afghanistan War to be remembered.
bold girder
Anyone know if D3 BP were meant to be available for free during this event?.

Can anyone who is Ops 25 post the event milestones? I'm 24 going to 25 and curious if it will change for me. Solo Event

@twilit imp what is the story with players shifting alliance half way through an event? A bit like having the game results before placing the bet.

fleet skiff
Hey, one question, what is the best crew against the event boss?
storm cove
@fleet skiff that depend on which ship your using
fleet skiff
Kumari, im lvl 27
storm cove
Like a gorkon setup on a Sally is great as is a Kirk setup on the mayflower
I'd go with a nero setup on a kumari
@bold girder I dont believe they were
bold girder
@storm cove 😓 any plans to do it again? Only needed 1 maybe 1 and a half more events to get it for free.
storm cove
I'd imagine they may be added to faction stores in the future, but that's a total guess, maybe something we should suggest to @twilit imp
rough frost
Yeah such a pity :-( I would have take an half pack if needed but not a whole ship 😕 the last event with the faction ship bp were much better.
lilac ibex
@storm cove hi, thx for the vids, watch them regularly. With you on the crews but I played around a bit and put Harrison as captain. Was pleased.
Otherwise Klingons on Interceptors and Roms on the Kumari rock.
lilac ibex
Does a pretty good job on the Mayflower mind you. However the ship seems to have inherent flaws, not quite sure where to put my finger but it does not deliver enough punch.
halcyon briar
@lilac ibex hull hp is its fatal flaw
lilac ibex
@halcyon briar can be mitigated with officers in your opinion?
lilac ibex
My team mates are asking if there will be an event store at the end of the separatist event. Any idea folks?
stone marlin
Guys is it correct that the gap to complete the rewards in this current event is huge between a lvl 23 and lvl 24. A teammate is lvl23 and his first reward is at 550k points while mine is at 3.18m. Hostiles lvl 22 give the same at 43.2k. ????
And will there be a 2x chance event for the officers again (premium and ultra).
astral solar
Lvl 23 has 2.23 million target a lvl 24 has a 9million target
frozen abyss
Level 26-27 targets 18.75 million. That's about 434 elites. None of my ships are strong enough to make a dent in the boss ships.
abstract gate
Lvl28+ is 90mil #firstworldproblems
Takes about 30-45min depending on warp times 😉
stone marlin
Yeah the top rewards. But first reward of a lvl 23 is around 550k while mine (lvl24) first reward is at 3.18m.
6x times over. Pffff
abstract gate
Got a warp 18 talla and arix?
Stick arix and 2 roms (battleship bonuses preferably) in a talla and splat it on bosses while you farm 22's with your main ship...you'll be surprised
As long as his captain ability triggers you'll net between 120k and 400k a run with a cheap af talla
Only viable for lvl24-27 players in tandem with 22 farming...below that this is a super cheap way to hit top milestones
dapper drum
nice will have to try that this afternoon
latent peak
Better use fortunate with arix and scotty 170k till 350k when it burn
182 tritanium for repair making it cheaper than talla
stone marlin
Nice tips. Will try that.
latent peak
My scotty is lv20 so not maxed, fortunate is maxed and i can easily go to seperatist boss system
Didn't try corvette so don't know how much better it perform
dapper drum
yeah cadet scotty to 20 isn't hard but what about 40?
dapper drum
by time will go tier 6 will be some badges as well
tidal storm
I stuck Arix in a Talla and splatted him against boss.. got 8k and 34 mins repair time... don’t see the point
latent peak
That's why use fortunate mate
tranquil echo
I only get 40k from talla fwiw
dapper drum
need burn to activate
abstract gate
As lonv as corvette has an energy weapon it'll work
Note arix has to be captain...
swift lotus
Just tried it... 680 points...
I'm not sure what the point is...
And Arix has a super low burn chance... 15% on mine
That's a lot of fortunates wasted
I put Nero on... he has another 25% as co-captain
and I need scotty...
abstract gate
Sure if you have nero use him...most under 24/25 don't so i went with arix
With a fortunate you get cheaper repairs but lose synergy because of scotty
swift lotus
But how many points do you get per try ?
It takes me 10 min to get about 1 million points per hunt of 22s
It takes the fortunate 4 minutes just to warp there for one try
astral solar
Depends on str of officer's / how often ability goes off
mild goblet
Tried this yesterday with 12% arix on ta uras. I don’t have Nero so used Vella and Javaid. You get 12% chance of burning per energy weapon firing. Turas has three energy weapons and it survives about two rounds. Arix activated about once in four battles, for a damage of about 160K. But it’s a 25 minute repair. On the other hand a 135K vahklas survives eight rounds against a boss explorer with the same crew, and Arix activated 8 times the one time I tried it, for a damage of 500K. But it’s a two hour repair. For someone lower level with a lower damage target to reach in the solo event, and a strong arix, it could make sense. At level 23 it’s easier just to grind out the 22s with a vahklas. Top tier is 2.25M, only 52 kills.
abstract gate
@twilit imp when will the next event come up where we are able to get a mayflower or d3 ? This time there was only the opportunity to buy it ...
merry fulcrum
Most likely never
weary egret
Never say never🙈
abstract gate
But you just.. and twice even! 😮
weary egret
Your right, holy shit😂
zenith summit
Is it better to grind on more level 17s, or fewer 22s?
Given that I'm a 23 with a 70K Vahklas.
merry fulcrum
Double negatives 😉
weary egret
For you its better lvl 17s for sure
weary egret
Thats nice👍
zenith summit
Leaving out the clock time for repairs, the tritanium cost of repairs per kill is actually lower on my 50K Kehra -- 485/kill versus 575/kill on the Vahklas.
But they both take about 1:40 to repair.
weary egret
I am working with 3ships at the same Time on the 22s do Not count the repairs, only making Progress
zenith summit
I'm looking at the net gain in tritanium, since that's the resource that gets tapped/traded for the kills.
So that first tier reward gives 60K in tri, and it costs me about 50K tri to get there.
weary egret
Just raid some bases and you have enough trit😉
zenith summit
Yeah, I need to do more of that.
hybrid sigil
Its been really expensive and time consuming to compete as a new 28 with no faction ship, 90m to complete is a little much.

^^^same for me, it’s put me off trying to be honest
halcyon briar
have you two been using a burning crew like arix or nero? helps a ton
abstract gate
@abstract gate You're missing faction dailies? Can you post your reputation screen?
Hi everybody could you help a member of my team never can't finish daily events
Thanks John
Sure. Communication via proxy is always more difficult though - If he can join the discord himself that'd be great.
If it's not possible, please PM me with the details.
Ok I see that with him. Thanks John
Sorry John, do you speak french ? 'Cause Capitaine Flam don't speak english
Ah I don't
Im that case please ask him for a screenshot of his reputation screen and PM me 👍
Ok thanks John
dapper drum
dual faction for the win, unless you want to spend speedups and lat everyday and grow non stop

What’s the next event? I got my attack ship ready to tier
dapper drum
goes hostile > mining > hostile > mining > hostile > mining
coral barn
@dapper drum thanks
dapper drum
once awhile scopely will throw us a curveball and make things interesting
but lets not get our hopes up
polar pier
Yeah that’s a bit strange
abstract gate
Panic just said in general that the event will be extended with easier milestones
abstract gate
Easy on the caps please.
proven patio
What I miss is a chance to get rare ore... Top 3 Ranking in Leaderboard is not possbile... I cant spend the whole day for a game on a cell phone...
I need 50 of it for level up OPS (to 31) and guess how much i receive in events and trough refinery during the last 10 days? right: zero!
proven patio
I hope that you stop this stupid leaderboard... and the pvp part too
thick pine
they should gate the rank leaderboard.. not let everyone compete with 30+ ppl rofl
abstract gate
UNCOMMON CRYSTAL for lvl 25 please. I have received 350, yes THREE HUNDRED FIFTY uncommon gas and ore!!!!!!
@twilit imp
dapper drum
more uncommon gas and ore for level 25! crystal is useless for me
rapid sky
@abstract gate great stuff, now you can upgrade your Vakhlas and Kumari 😄
dapper drum
or they could do what all daily events do and give all 3 uncommons
abstract gate
@dapper drum u have no idea
dapper drum
umm yes I do
I'm maxed buildings on 25 and only have a few techs left
all my grade 3 ships are tier 7
what I need is thousands of uncommon g3 ore
abstract gate
And u r not all lvl 25 players...u r just the one stuck on not building for over a week now
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
dapper drum
Not stuck
I could advance anytime I want, I'm not stupid to though
but by all means rush rush rush and leave yourself no choice but to buy a faction ship to compete with the other players in your level and dont' forget about the packs to upgrade those
abstract gate
Im cool. I just need more balanced rss as prizes...350 to 0 is just crazy.
250 to 100 at least
I dont think it was on purpose...i think it was a mistake
dapper drum
or atleast bring back bakleth tokens and the event store
who the hell still has any khan tokens left over?
vital drum
Getting lots of bps from this event
merry fulcrum
Congrats 😁 you've got mainly useless things
dapper drum
same boat as me, so many useless BPs
frozen abyss
I can contribute 34 envoys to that. I've built 3 and have enough BPs to build 31 more.
light pumice
When does the event extension begin? My first rewards tier is 7.5m. Seriously don't have time to grind out that many kills for weak rewards. Actually make the event doable and I may be bothered to do it.
merry fulcrum
@light pumice they're lowering the milestones, and rewards as well, idk how much by
light pumice
The rewards are already paltry. Lowering the rewards seems like a retarded move. At 7.5 mil points one gets 12k di and 250k tri? Like that is even remotely covering the cost of doing business. Is the new reward lvl going to be pocket lint?
merry fulcrum
Depends on how much they lower the milestone by
light pumice
So pocket lint it is. Looking forward! /sarcasm
merry fulcrum
Yep
teal jackal
The rewards aren't horrible. I can get 3.1 mil points just by crashing my 275k kumari into a boss. Send NS first to drop shield and it's over 4 mil points with one double tap. Do that 4 times and event is pretty much done (lvl 27)
meager galleon
@teal jackal try that with 90M cap 😃
olive rover
90M sounds like a huge headache. 9M was bad enough with nothing to actually hit the bosses for easier points. Only got up to a Vahklas atm
meager galleon
I’m 28 with most my buildings upgraded, so I’m not fresh 28 but I’ve only got a Kumari as my main ship (never purchased an NS) and I don’t have the desire to grind 2100 lvl 22s just for some Uncommons
waxen vector
@light pumice umm it covers for lower guys
light pumice
@waxen vector I suppose. Last time I did this event I was 4 lvls lower so I guess the rewards are ok at that lvl.
fickle chasm
Well... at lvl 24 it was a 1mil drop for the top reward tier
Rewards are still awesome
abstract gate
don't forget to scroll up guys
stone grail
Yeah, to be honest, i'm just hoping the 90m milestone has been reduced
abstract gate
stone grail
oh dear lord 😂
fickle chasm
Yowza

yeah but he can one shot bosses most likely 😛
fickle chasm
Lvl 24:
winter leaf
@twilit imp why the reset?
stone grail
@winter leaf shhh enjoy the extra rewards 😛
tardy stag
Yes lower milestones as said this morning
fickle chasm
Rss rewards look the same 😃
stone grail
i've always had 4 milestones i believe
devout talon
that's a good move, considering that most people will still reach top because they grind for the global leaderboard anyway
rapid sky
lol I gave up on the leaderboard... if I only grind 22s I can maybe get to like 50, if I mix out bosses hits I stand no chance
devout talon
on my server I got top 25 every day with 1 ship only killing non stop, but without repair speed up
It's a time sink but manageble
rapid sky
lol how many points do you need for that?
rapid sky
hrm our 25 today was 22229
50 is half of that
that's killing double the 22s I would otherwise need for the solo event
devout talon
sounds about the same, 25th made 224324 and top 123341
rapid sky
so thanks, but no thanks 😃
trail barn
Really wish they would switch up the uncommon u get. So much crystal need the others.
fickle chasm
@abstract gate showoff 😉
merry fulcrum
@abstract gate what level??
abstract gate
38
halcyon briar
@abstract gate can we get harder milestones back in exchange for uncommon crystal please!
teal jackal
@abstract gate is there a bug for solo event at ops 28? Rewards are showing like it's the pvp event with no uncommon crystal and adding Khan.
This is lvl 27 solo:
viral pawn
Any 24 that can show what is max reward for solo event?
abstract gate
24-25 bracket top
halcyon briar
@teal jackal level 28+ has had only ore and gas the entire time with the Kahn and Mara shards
viral pawn
Thank you @abstract gate 🙏🏼
abstract gate
Sure thing. Here the milestones btw
teal jackal
That's interesting. Thought that was for pvp. I see Picards post now too though. Glad I stayed at 27. Need the crystal. 😂
halcyon briar
Yea... Don't rub it in 😭
swift lotus
16.2 million! Are they out to lunch??
at 1 million per trip that's 16 trips... I can't even repair that fast! Takes 2 hours to repair the Vahklas
16x2 = 32 hours
rapid sky
speedups?
swift lotus
Yes, but I used a lot of them over the past 5 days... there is also the issue of sleep
smoky cosmos
Wow the decreased the solo event from 90 million to 81 million 😂 😂 is this a joke scopely?
swift lotus
Scroll up
jovial goblet
lol was just about to say that
latent peak
Now he makes big fuuuuk 😂😂
smoky cosmos
I'm glad that this event tommorow is over. What an butt event
jovial goblet
yeah sux hard without the event store
viral sail
As a level 20, I have no complaints. The solo events gave me the resources to progress upgrades and research I really needed. I could use one of those every month.
swift lotus
Even level 23 was good....
Level 24 is unachievable
Either they need a hostile in between the level 22 and a boss
They could also increase the spawn rates.... trying to get them is so hard without sitting on a spawn node
inland turtle
The events are good if you are well established for your oos bracket. If you are new to a bracket, or have not been investing appropriately in your research and ships then its difficult at best to not possible at worst.
Ops* bracket
delicate moth
At level 25, this event has been brilliant for me 🤷
It's given me what I need to upgrade my ns.
inland turtle
I managed pretty well with the 90m points at lvl 29 this time around, last time this series of events came around i had just gotten 26 and had no faction ships, just a 220k kumari and it wasnt feasible to complete
rapid sky
@swift lotus same here, but I still have almost 200 hours worth of speedups, and I sleep ~8hrs a day 😄
and I'm level 26, so 18.7M was my target those last couple of days and it was doable
frosty kayak
I completed the event but was told it was updated with bonuses. Anyway to fix it so that I can have a shot at the bonus as well?
solemn shard
Theres an update for android. Not sure about apple. Maybe update the game and then try it?
prime prawn
@twilit imp it would be nice if you also changed up the loot for the fractured event. With 400k ea dilithium & tritanium, all the prizes have done is make my station a good target. Until I get more rare resources I can't spend it, can't trade it, can't give it away. Can contribute tritanium but that still leaves me stuck under a peace shield or a juicy target because of the dilithium.
hazy storm
@twilit imp the solo event leaderboards is a joke, on my server it been one by the same one or two guys ever day. Kind of unfair to make lvl 23 to 25 complete for the top spot against a lvl 37 that drop a few thousand dollar to get maxed out events.
last spindle
Whats unfair about that he spends the money and supports the game we play.
If he wants to buy 1st place and you wanna beat him break out your wallet too
abstract gate
The event was good for level 22. With a 120k NS top tier was made within 2 hours. Ready for something new now. The game is getting a bit stale.
granite cobalt
any chance we'll get another jellyfish event? I see the jellyfish packs are pretty much always in the store now, but what about the event where you get Spock shards and what not?

what are the rewards for the solo event at lv 22? im wondering if it'll change from lv 21
ocean heron
glacial token
Just wanted to say thank you🙏.....for classy event 👍
vital drum
It's a good event rewards wise, very generous imo. Level 24 solo achievable if time consuming, even with higher level ayers chasing you around to try and stop you doing well. Two things I'd like to recommend: keep level 28+ players out of my leaderboard, and add some crystal to the rewards table (was hoping that for the bonus day). Thanks overall though.
More tritanium would be good too
olive rover
Or separate leaderboards, one for 28+ or whatever, then one for below that
carmine lily
Leaderboards definately need scaling, lvl 22's should not be in the same group as lvl 39's. Nobody even bothers with it because the same 3 people always win. it doesn't matter what the leaderboard event is, it's always the same 3 people. rewards for 4th and down aren't even worth bothering to compete for so nobody does. Try widening the rewards range beyond 50 people and increase the rewards beyond 3rd place and maybe people will actually care about the leaderboard.
soft gate
Lol, I worked hard to get into the top 50 6 days in a row. With all the steel I won, I can now build 1/2 a building 😂
carmine lily
I worked hard to get into the top 100 6 days in a row. With all the nothing I won I can build nothing. 😣
far more parsteel got dumped into space than got carried home.
dense lantern
Please stop giving officer xp as a reward for winning ship event etc, it just means rhe person winjing one event then wins the next one too and so on...
rare radish
Loving the current solo events.
More uncommon then I've ever seen. Over half way to 16 mill. It will be a slog to get it done before bed though.
dapper drum
muppett thats how it works
you complete one event so you can complete next
don't bother with leaderboard one unless you have the exp for it
clear burrow
How frequently do they tend to run the 25-copy Jellyfish blueprint event? Is that a monthly thing?
olive rover
If you so want to get those solo events, save up your XP

I'd love to say something smart but I have literally no idea what that means ^^^^

tidal storm
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an offer, cheap one, for repair speed ups only
fair mantle
any ops 28-29 that did their 90 mil point by killing lvl 22 elites only for the last 6 days or was it just my crazt f2p arse?
frozen abyss
I've done 40M against elites just to make it onto the leaderboard for those rewards.
abstract gate
Literally just you
fair mantle
lol probably
frozen abyss
I could get 2M points in the solo event by suiciding my Kumari against a boss. I'm only level 27, though, so 33.75M was my goal.
abstract gate
Did my 162mil yesterday in 55mins....stupid warp times slowing me down lol
fair mantle
dont have a faction ship yet, very close with my rep 18.5k and i get the RoM ship
will be easier then my kumarii
frozen abyss
I'm at 6k/20k for both the Saladin and Bortas
fair mantle
im Rom/FED so whatever those are called 😉
got about 80 mil trit for upgrades whn i do get it, can t wait
unique lodge
Perfect... maintenance added a new feature, @twilit imp, you can now waste time/rss to finish events, click the reward button and watch nothing add to your items!!
Finished the last 6M of 32M points after the maintenance and got nothing...
tacit lake
@fair mantle at 30 mill tri for a single component for rom ships at tier five you’ll need to do a lot more rss saving
unique lodge
Daily points not adding up either, they do such great testing of these “fixes”
abstract gate
@unique lodge Regarding dailies
fair mantle
hmmm well guess ill be looking for some targets sooner then later but i dont think ill reach tier 5 when i do get my ship, at least not right away
unique lodge
And the event rewards? That’s no small thing
abstract gate
Let me check.
fair mantle
28
fair mantle
yes
abstract gate
@unique lodge Yes, also that.
unique lodge
Where do you see this posted @abstract gate ?
fair mantle
around your opl lvl is when i gets interesting withut buying anything, theres should be a daily for f2p players "Raid 20 mil rss a day"
thick pine
haha
abstract gate
@unique lodge Just here, just now as I said it. I said I would ask so I did and it's also part of the same issue and fix as dailies.
😄
unique lodge
Ok, good to know, so how will we receive the stuff? Just gonna show up or will reselect the event complete that keeps popping back up?
abstract gate
It might be because you've already tried to claim the rewards that they'll be added without any message.
It might require you to claim them again, in which case the buttons will present themselves again.
We don't have such specific details as of yet.
abstract gate
Sure thing mate, wish I could of provided more solid answers but it is as it is. 😅
Wait and see indeed. 👍
unique lodge
It kicked everyone and rewards showed on relog
False completion flags showing still
On dailies at least
abstract gate
Gotta take what we can get for now. I'm happy to hear the rewards being secured 😄
stable heron
no event store and no lv 26 faction ship parts... another let down.
cloud grail
Um yeah looking at it that way yeah. It was tritanium and uncommons.. still good but not what we expected good
zenith summit
@unique lodge Have you killed and restarted your client? I haven't seen a problem in the event, but multiple times I've had the dailies not show the rewards, and then they appeared after a restart.
I should have read further: sounds like you got your rewards.
tame pebble
Is today the last day for the event?
abstract gate
Can we please have some new events? This one is getting stale.
tame pebble
i dont mind the rss
zenith summit
Yeah, pretty good rewards, especially if you can slog it out to reach the 5th milestone.
merry fulcrum
31st @tame pebble look at the official announcment
tame pebble
so will we get another fractured empire event tomorrow?
placid lark
Any reason to think an officer event is coming soon?
abstract gate
The rewards are good, but it’s getting boring. Only thing our galaxy does is hunt hostiles in silence now. We need a bit of war.
stable heron
@twilit imp stop being stingy with the lv 26 faction blue prints $100 for half of a ship is BS. Why cant you bring back the events that dropped them in the first place.
@loud solar hopefully they listen to you if they wont listen to us
abstract gate
@stable heron What event dropped the faction blue prints?
i never seen one like that before
waxen vector
Is there a glitch? LvL 26 get all 3 g3 stuff meanwhile lvl 28 only get gas / ore?
stable heron
one of the very first hostile events I still have 7 Mayflower bps from it
abstract gate
hmm i played from day one and never seen that before. But who knows i could be wrong
zenith summit
Level 23 seems to only get crystal and ore in uncommon.
rapid sky
I have 15 payflowe and legionay BPs lol
halcyon briar
@abstract gate it was the faction event in February
zenith summit
@twilit imp So with the event going through 5/31, will there be one more solo event that starts tomorrow at noon eastern, or will the current one that ends tomorrow at noon be the last one?
halcyon briar
This is likely the last one @zenith summit
zenith summit
Yeah, I wasn't sure, with the endpoint being midday.
lunar bronze
This was the question I came on to ask. Trying to figure out if I should burn a trit token to finish an upgrade, or if more will come tomorrow. Seems like "event ends at noon on the 31st" is most likely.
cloud grail
They extended gas, today it's crystal, makes sense tomorrow is ore.. after that hopefully is the end
The solo is doable, watch videos.. they are all doable.
The leaderboard is flawed in the sense that lower levels can't compete with top tier players.. something to adjust.. maybe it should have been tiered like the ranking 6hr events.
The PvP has great rewards but we don't have Faction ships making us feel like second class citizens. I don't quite have a suggestion to fix this part.
modest oyster
lord i am so over farming bosses
cloud grail
For a change hit the 17s
sleek urchin
I run 2 games and am lvl 14 in 1 game and 23 in other I have been completing the solo event in like half an hour in my lvl 14 game but my lvl 23 game I haven't managed to get to second reward yet. So things definitely are not tiered correctly they are still setting targets to lvl not power, and no I have not rushed through levels I am as powerful as possible without paying at my lvl
fresh portal
Ya the rankings should put those who can kill boss into different class. Not fair to pit 500pts a kill against those doing 25 a kill or less.
Should either change the rss to Tritanium and Dilithium or just Dilithium for elite separatist. The over cargo capacity alerts are delayed and annoying. One cannot click on messages or anything at the top of the screen with the continuous delayed alerts that seems never ending
rapid sky
@fresh portal the 500 points for killing a boss is a bad joke for most players, if you have a ship that can kill a boss, just imagine how many 22s it can kill
untold sinew
I can kill heaps of bosses, but it is more cost effective to hit 22, just takes more time
fresh portal
Yes my ship was a casualty from one of those ships. The player had three ships out hitting in every direction and will chase your hostile even though he sees you are closer. He either hits hostile or other small frys doesn't matter to him.
rancid gazelle
@fresh portal . For the fractured solo event I kill a couple of bosses and be done with it. But for the ranked event I have to combine it with 22’s. Unless you have a super powerful ship as some who kill 9, 10 bosses in a row. So thank you but I don’t need to be in a boss only category😉 the ranked event on our server has been very fair. A lot of the smaller players in my alliance are grind masters. They end up top 10 or 25 between the big league players.
stone grail
what do we reckon the next event is 👀

Augment mining

1 week long farming event is utter nonsense. I'm starting to look like a fuckin' clickin' zombie with a 1week long stubble

i liked the event, rewards were decent, but when the 2 day extension was announced my heart sank a little, i was already starting to feel burnt out before having to do another 2 rounds
thorny gust
Can’t complain. These have been the most generous rewards by far
But yes a change of pace will be nice
Though if it’s a mining event...
abstract gate
you just jinxed it!
gloomy rune
I liked it very much
A bit long but for me the best event until now.
The should split it in the players level like 18-24,24-28,28-......
meager galleon
First Separatist event was best by far
Plenty of the tiers were screwed on this event, the promise of BPs for faction ships was virtually non existent other than for the people that already had them or faction ships anyway
So it was just an uncommonfest for 99% of players
Khan had no real business being a reward other than to help the the players that paid from previous event get him this event
thick pine
for me was the best event ever i completed it full! too bad no event store tho
would liked to get tokens to buy stuff 😦
exotic willow
Bat”Leth tokens for the win!
forest cipher
Any news about what the next event will be starting today?
If it's that data mining we were promised to start this month, I'd like to get a head start before the crowd rushes in.
devout talon
There should be a bit of a break between big events, to give people some breath time and chance to spend those resources
rapid sky
I've been spending them throughout, but still got plenty saved up for the horizon 😄
I much prefer having events with awesome rewards than the normal daily stuff you do otherwise
devout talon
Or perhaps the other issue is that if you are remotely competitive, you will spend a large amount of time in game every single day of the event. that's a bit tiresome
I swear there are a couple of people on my server that have been killing hostiles with 3 ships 24/7 for days now
Starting to worry about their mental health
rapid sky
lol to each his own, if they have the time and energy to do it I see no reason why not
tawny coyote
@twilit imp can you provide information on this weekend event?
golden veldt
Nope. !!! Just like refinery it is chance based !!! hard to tell !!
proud timber
Faction ship line was utter bs agreed 💯
But rewards were good
A little uncommon crystal would be nice as a reward in next event 😏
boreal kayak
mining for Keenser shards I can feel it in my bones
abstract gate
@twilit imp any chance of a headsup on the weekend event? Be nice not to be caught flat-footed for a change
frozen abyss
I'm guessing the maintenance and app update were needed for the next event to start, which is why this one got extended, but I'm just guessing at that, so the 2-day delay in the maintenance update let to a 2-day extension to the current event.
oh, and hello @proud timber
abstract gate
Yeah sounds about right, only other reason would be altruism on scopely's part 😂
frozen abyss
That seems like about the least likely reason for anything to happen...
proud timber
I agree the maint was needed at least for the last event to end maybe next to start
strong condor
not another shooting event my speedups... 😦

Amazing event concept and rewards! Gj <@&509690795536941056>
spare perch
can anyone ss the rewards or point structure before I chose a faction?
I need fed credits and rom reputation basically
abstract gate
chose 1 & not preventing from chosing a 2nd so far as ive seen. No trit rewards so both speedups & rss savings will go down.
winged light
Most probably tokens will be used for officier shards
spare perch
ah, cool, thanks, nice rewards for sure
dapper sedge
romulans is spelled wrong on the new event

Sooo... lvl 18 faction ships. Im supposed to kill them, but cant find any. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
jolly kernel
Anyone not getting there points killing ships ?

no trit rewards is just gonna drain us dry what a joke

I am not getting rewards - 20 pts for L28+, kill a L29 and no points...
devout talon
restarted the app and were there, just lag
astral solar
This event is mental....... Lvl of ships needed for points is stupid
charred prawn
75 lvl 32+ for me with a kumari can kill about 10 per repair and with the new improved repair times it's 3 hours to repair it so gonna cost god knows how many speeds up and about 600k trit to finish 1 of the events
shrewd star
Can I join all 3 events?
tame pebble
Yes
charred prawn
if you can do all three good luck to you
devout talon
if we could buy trit tokes with those sweet throphys would be great 😃
frozen abyss
Everybody get to shoosting some hostiles. 75 level 30+ will take me roughly a half hour between travel time, repair time, and kill time.
Repair time is so low that I won't even have to waste my speed-ups, especially after upgrading my ships from the last event.
tawny burrow
Is there any low faction system for lower lvl players
dense lantern
Ah, another event i won't be taking part in 300 lvl 24 hostiles for the first rewrd band with rubbish rewards. I'll keep the rss and speedups thx
frozen abyss
Mine is 300 level 26 hostiles or 15 level 30 hostiles. I think I'll go with the 15 level 30
I can kill 16 before the cargo bay of my Kumari is full, and then I have to return home with it to repair the damage (about 40% of health lost) from killing those level 30s. 75 total to reach the top rank will take very little time compared to killing 455 or 900 elite hostiles.
hybrid sigil
Grung you must be at an odd numbered ops lvl. these events are hell for someone who just upgraded to an even lvl like 28
urban spire
So, my Event Store is still rewarding Khan Tokens in exchange for Valentines credits... Anyone else? I have no place to spend Alliance Gold Trophies currently. Figured it out lol
I have reset game several times as well
winged tulip
Lvl27 - 20 points for lvl30 hostile, 1500 points needed for top reward. Would be doable easy enough if repair times didn't suck rabid moose wang and i hadn't spaffed all my repair tokens on the elite event.
abstract gate
Seems a lot of people are rushing through the levels. Go slow on your station and invest in your NS.
frozen abyss
Don't invest in your NS. It's worthless beyond level 23.
mint adder
that is completely false
maybe its not a warship beyond level 23
I have kavort, antares, am level 32, and still use NS
frozen abyss
My NS is just a placeholder for my miners and has been ever since I built and upgraded my Kumari.
It holds their spot while they drop off resources because the protected cargo only holds 5-10 minutes worth.
solar abyss
@mint adder Curious the power level of your NS? At lvl 26, mine is fully maxed and tiered, 255K power ( depending on crew, of course )
mint adder
Approx 340k
solar abyss
Awesome! Thank-you
frozen abyss
At 27, mine is 209k at tier 7 with only the mining laser and cargo bay upgrades to go.
mint adder
I could be off by a little, my use for it now is throw Stonn on it and have a rapid miner that can almost complete a daily real quick, or spend a day stockpiling ore when i get low. When i grind 3rd faction miner, it probably will finally retire, but that will be a long while yet.
but im pretty sure with combat crew it was right around 340k
smoky cosmos
I'm lvl 28 my NS is 265k is an awesome miner warp 39 with Scotty warp 44
tiny flame
Yes, 2x Faction Miner and max NS is a great combo
candid goblet
@twilit imp @gaunt yacht @abstract gate please adjust the rewards again, No Tritanium, No Dilithium. The Uncommon Resources are the worst yet and more can be obtained from using the refinery. The token rewards are exceptional but again this event is being ruined by the ridiculously low rss. Players have just spent 1 week grinding hostiles and have no repairs left. Adjust repair times for this OR ADD repairs as rewards, please fix this for tomorrow and make this a worthwhile event for everyone. It’s not worth the grind at the minute and it’s putting many players off. Thanks
abstract gate
I cant physically participate in this event.
Why cant combat events be based off highest level ship a player has.... i cant hit a level 320k ship, my biggest is 240k. And if i hit the lower toer its going to cost me 200x 30 min repair tokens, 1.5m trit.... all for some uncommons? ... very far from worth participation. Pleeerease give me an event i can participate it.
@frozen abyss You forgot there will be much more competition because there is much less lvl 30 faction ships - or lvl 32 for player lvl 27-28 - that elite 22 over the 3 "separative" united systems. Everyone and his dog would like to score "your" lvl 30 ships. You might well be chased and killed. Good luck.
rough frost
@abstract gate 240k should be good enough. My kumari is at this level and I done the 1500 points in 4 run killing LVL 30 hostiles and some 29 / 31 too.
abstract gate
Nice Minna, now go for some other factions run 😉
rough frost
Already on the way ;-)
median seal
Anyone know the level requirement to participate in the Faction vs Faction events?
abstract gate
@rough frost I'm only running "my" faction round because other faction points are useless and well... no Tritanium in the basket
ruby crescent
I'm getting points, but don't see anything in the events tab...
rough frost
@abstract gate I run double faction, rom and fed so I do both for the crédits. I doing the klingon for helping my alliance rank and because I like killing red little moving things 😜
abstract gate
Well you'll probably have some busy evenings then. Good luck
@rough frost if i hot lvl 32 i get 20 points, 31 is 6 points, 30 is 2 points. The ships i have to hit are too big.
rough frost
@abstract gate what level are you ? 28 ?
turbid void
Has anyone worked out how to spend the trophy’s?
abstract gate
For 1500, its going to cost me 30 ships. I dont have the repair tokens of res to do that
median seal
Anyone know of the minimum level required to join the event?
indigo ember
im hoping they'll wake up and give us the option to redeem them into faction ship bps
rapid sky
@abstract gate what crew?
abstract gate
Nero crew
rough frost
@abstract gate 240k ship for level 28 is not so good :-( I have it at level 26. Like every game it s better to grow well but slow. Dont go next ops if you dont have the ship to follow.
rapid sky
Wrong crew for the job... use Cadet Uhura(cpt)/kirk or spock or mccoy/chen
rough frost
@abstract gate ha that explain it 👍 new level is always awful for event 😕 and the expectation at 26 / 28 / 30 / 32 goes up a lot.
rapid sky
@abstract gate I take over 20 lvl 31s with above crew in a 250k Kumari
ruby crescent
@gaunt yacht what is the minimum level for the event?
meager galleon
People need to look at how much Faction Credits are actually worth. They are hard to actually obtain and are extremely good as a reward
tardy stag
I have been killing Klingon lvl 27 and I got no points at all. I joined the event obviously
mint adder
@abstract gate A) Nero crew not good for hostiles
probably have better luck with cadets like chen gonzales, moreau if you have her
B) might want to stop leveling base and get your kumi up
if your not buying ships kumi should get all your attention
oh just saw random name already addressed your crew choice
ruby crescent
It's weird. I'm 17, and get the notification on the top of the screen that I have earned points when I Kill Romulan hostiles, but don't see any event on the tab
summer basin
I'm sitting with my 42k jelly on my drydock and would kick some assess... But I couldn't because I'm level 14...
latent peak
Need to admit, after last week of crazy grind, this event is making more fun, done all 3 factions and no lv 32 tried to kill me for hostile respawn spot
tiny flame
Yeah, nice change of pace, gets a 👍 from me <@&509690795536941056>
soft gate
Gets a 👎 from me. As a f2p, these events are either painful or impossible. I’m willing to kill hundreds of hostiles my level, but the way the point structure is set up, that’s not feasible. You either go for the 20 point hostiles or go home. Unfortunately, nearly everyone at my level is in the same boat, so the even level hostiles pretty much become extinct. Sandbagging progression is out of the question. In 5 months, I have refined 1 rare crystal, 1 Gas, and 2 ore. I need 60 rares I believe for my ships next tier, so if I wait around for my ship to get stronger, I’ll be chilling for a very very very long time. These kill +3/4 levels above you events are pretty much tailored for paying players.
mint adder
They are running a for profit business, what would be their motivation to tailor the game to f2p?
soft gate
@mint adder I’ll give you that. I was willing to drop $5 a month on the game, but after my second $5 purchase, my $5 options disappeared. I’m fairly sure low dollar spenders are not their target demographic.
mint adder
nope. although i have been f2p for months (didnt start that way)
was maintaining just fine until the repair time debacle, now lat is trending down
game is not playable actually waiting for the repair times
abstract gate
Making sure the game is viable for F2P players as well as P2P players is important because players are also each others content; a.k.a. the PvP aspect.
The Augment expansion for example, was specifically geared towards players between 20-28. It wasn't Lvl39 content.
That some events are more easily achieved by those more powerful than others is a simple fact and that makes no discrimination towards P2P/F2P. As F2P if you dedicate yourself enough, you can achieve a high power level.
Yes, it would take a LOT of time. But there is a balance.
You can also not go for the 1000's and toss like 20 at an NS pack and instantly become 'above average' on your server.
It's all down to the choices you've made all the way from when you started to where you are now and while money invested can be a factor, it's not definitive.
mint adder
the ONLY thing that stops pay only from being absolutely dominant with enough $ is that you cant buy faction rep
latent peak
@soft gate im 100% f2p, lv 26, 244k kumari and dit all 3 factions with no problem, maybe you have no idea how to play this game. This event is finally a good one (maybe some ress in rewards would sweet the deal).
mint adder
other than that you totally could just throw $ and be #1 in a day
abstract gate
That's an absolute ignorant statement @mint adder .
mint adder
haha
latent peak
Can anyone tell me what is the points target for lv31?
mint adder
please explain
abstract gate
You can't buy yourself to #1 in a day. Literally impossible.
abstract gate
No, you explain how you can because right now I'm not taking you serious.. at all.
soft gate
@latent peak would you like a cookie? I’m lvl 26 too. I’ll be able to get all 3 factions done for all 5 days, but I don’t like the idea of having to burn 20 reloc tokens and a lot of speed ups to do it.
mint adder
umm, keep buying packs, everything you need is in there, with lat you can instant all builds/tiers, i dont get how youre confused. buy enough officer packs you can max all the crews, only thing that cannot be bought is faction rep. keep in mind i am #1 raider on server, in #1 alliance on server (and i have heard all servers, not sure if this is true) power wise. I played for months spending $ (thousands, but not 10s of thousands) and for months f2p, i have seen players pop into the server and shoot instantly to high power with lots of $, only to hit the wall that they couldnt get high level faction ships without grinding. Again, not sure specifically what you think cannot be bought and instanted except faction rep. @abstract gate
Not trying to be mean, just think anyone that plays this game at a high level knows everything else can be bought
latent peak
Didn't spend any relocation token, kumari with uhura, spock, chan can make 820/1020 per run if you kill lv 30 mostly, so it's 6 runns in total, don't see the problem
abstract gate
@mint adder You still can't do it in a day. Ask a friend to make an account and share the contents of the packs. You'll find them scaled to his OPS level. There's only so much clicking of instant build with Lat you can do. So then you need to switch the game up by upgrading, buying packs, upgrading etc. Do that for literally every building, research, ship, mission etc etc and you're going to be a while my friend.
Yes, invest enough money to the point you could've started your own company; it'll get you ahead in the game a whole lot faster then without.
But that statement of yours was ludicrous, false and is damaging to the game as a whole.
mint adder
you havent convinced me. a lot of klicks in 24 hrs
and people do "invest" several 10s of thousands of dollars in this game, you know that is true
and if it's 4 days or 5 days instead of 1, doesn't really change the overarching point very much
and ive been playing this game since day 1 (well day 2 or 3) so not like i dont know what was in the packs at the start. As far as advancement goes, much much faster advancement per $ at the start than later
abstract gate
I'm not here to convince you. I'm here to be the opposite voice in this case.
I do know that indeed; I don't contest this.
It changes the point I was making, overexaggerating simple things can be extremely damaging and obviously plays in your favor here so you know what's up - i'm just calling you out on it.
We can agree to disagree however. I've said what I wanted to.
I think overexaggerating is damaging and that's my opinion. You don't think it changes the overarching point and that's fine too.
Long story short, it's the same. Paying will get you ahead faster - That's the nature of a F2P+in-app purchases game.
mint adder
OK, fair enough. I totally agree with your point at the end, you can do everything with 0 spend and lots of patience, or do it much faster with $. And i am not saying that shouldn't be the case either. If money was not being made off this game there would be no this game.
abstract gate
Indeed and even though it has its flaws, it's also got good stuff going for it. 😄 👍
tiny flame
Hmmm.. maybe not #1 in a day but with unlimited funds....
- Start on a day selling l26 faction ships
- Buy with packs to 26
- T9 D3
- Hit 500k rep (doable in a day hitting level 38s or so with a t9 d3
4.1 Buy to level 28 - T9 Saladin
- 2M faction hitting 40s
- Pay to level 32
- T9 Intrepid / Brel
This would certainly get you in the top 5 of most servers, #1 in some. So yeah, expensive, but not impossible.
graceful shard
There is a faction requirement to get the mini faction ships like the D3 as well
I think it’s 125k
So your going to need to get to 125k faction with a Kumari so you can unlock the D3 and get that to t9 to get to 500k to get a t9 sally to get to 2m?
I say that task is easily a 30 hour task which would probably take someone a week with unlimited funds
tiny flame
Max kumari is 450k or so. Could likely easily hit level 36/37s
But yeah, maybe not a day, but a couple
weary canyon
Inefficient to use Kuma on anything > level 33 due to high warp times
The procedure above is basically what I did
Don't get T9 Intrepid or BRel though, they are trash
Wait for them to be fixed before you give Scopely any money for them IMO
dull pebble
Someone give me 40k and I’ll prove HotHalf’s statement is correct
abstract gate
Simply put, your time or money but preferably both.
chilly anvil
Really. I need to hit 1M plus faction ships to get above 6 pts each.? Jokers
Your event is taint stank
haughty monolith
What's the best crew to use with a 230k kumari on this faction event?
carmine lily
This event is really poorly planned, you still haven't fixed the single major problem with having an event such as this and that is how the hostiles spawn. Within about 5-10 minutes of this event starting virtually every system was cherry picked clean of all hostiles which would be worth 20 points for the event. The vast majority of players are of the same level and all hunting after the same level, and type, of hostile. Due to the costs of hunting far above your own level no one is willing to kill off the lower level gostiles to force the higher level ones to spawn. The result is systems full of ships just waiting for someone to come in and kill one ship so a new higher level one will spawn and then you see a mass of ships all racing to get to that one desired enemy.
the point spread is just too wide to make hunting anything else worthwhile, the return on investment drops by 70% if you hunt just 1 level lower than your maximum.
Factoring in travel times and repair times, it's simply not worthwile to participate in this event. It's pretty much been given up on by most players and it's not even 24 hours into the event.
Please plan better.
frozen roost
I'd personally like to see dilithium and tritanium added to the rewards to offset repairs.
Maybe lower the officer exp about 25-33% to accommodate the resources.
halcyon briar
personally id rather have the officer exp, i cant get that from someones base
carmine lily
We got fattened up so much by the last event, I'm kinda glad to be able to use some of those resources now. Now if only there was a way to offload some of this Par...
halcyon briar
also that, sitting on 30 something trit tokens now, had 6 before the event lol
carmine lily
Tokens would have been nice. We got delibrately fattened up for the amusment of the Big guys.
halcyon briar
what ops level?
because i think my second teir was 1m trit non token, then third and 4th were 1 and 2 tokens at 28
so it was still a mix for me as well lol
carmine lily
no tokens
everything was in pure resources except for the very top reward on the very last day.
1 token of each. just enough to rebuild after getting raided into oblivion by lvl 32 players.
the message was clear.
I had a great PSA in alliance chat earlier today:
INDEPENDANTS! Are you tired of watching the factions squabble over control of the galaxy? Are you tired of being under the boot heel of empires and Federated worlds? Are you aching to just completely bork your reputation with the major powers of the galaxy? Then do we have the event for YOU!.........
abstract gate
This event ain't doing my project to get dual faction any favours...have to completely skip the klingon event if I want to continue making progress on tanking my fed rep/raising romulans
carmine lily
Or you could just tank all 3
5 days of tanking reputations should have some interesting results. It's almost as if the devs are trying to slow us down after that massive boost they just gave us.
abstract gate
Trying to get fed down to consort-ish and roms up to positive...no way I'm hitting romulans rn
Hell I'm only doing the fed event because credits
abstract gate
Anyone know what will we be able to buy with these gold alliance trophies?
The theme appears to be officers so if it's anything it could very well be recruit boxes
Possibly even faction recruit boxes....if it's anything
I wouldn't get your hopes up though...that way scopely can't disappoint you
Thanks for answer mate, much appreciated =)
halcyon briar
yea, theres been more events where the gold trophies were just score boxes than events where you could trade them in for anything, just keep that in mind
outer herald
@twilit imp just want to show my appreciation on the current faction event you guys have put forward. We needed more faction based content, the credits are a godsend... keep up the good work.... could add repair speed ups but thumbs up and can we have the store open to spend trophies earned for bps and rss, just a thought. 👌
lyric shadow
I got my 2nd milestone ad close to 3rd but didnt getnany tropyies for those milestones .
halcyon briar
@lyric shadow thats the spend event that happens daily, not the current hostile hunt event
abstract gate
😂
Any predictions on how scopely plans to move the goalposts for this event? They did the doubled milestone bs last event...
@lyric shadow
Don't forget to join before you start killing
lyric shadow
@halcyon briar but i dont have any other faction event i thought c9mpleting milstones on feds rep event will give trophies
abstract gate
Lvl?
lyric shadow
17
abstract gate
Yeah, there's your problem...pretty sure it's 18+
lyric shadow
@abstract gate thank you 🖖
abstract gate
👍
Tbh without a decent 3* ship this event won't be for everyone even if they pass the level requirement 60+ faction hostiles is a big ask.
And at lvl30 with no faction ship (well I have payflower but...#payflowersucks) grinding 60 lvl34 faction hostiles per event is a struggle for my 355k kumari
outer herald
@abstract gate at least with this event you can start to afford to buy G3 ship
abstract gate
I'm 48/100 Saladin rn...this event should put that around 70/100 +/- random drops from feds (doing the rom event too)
So yeah it'll accelerate my goal by several weeks
outer herald
Yeah I am 80 out of 100 Saladin blueprints.
abstract gate
And everyone else's on my server....
Mostly worried about my rep tbh...started a project to get dual faction 2 weeks ago and this event will seriously mess with that...
outer herald
Yeah balancing two is very difficult
outer herald
I haven't bothered lol
rapid sky
For me it's very well balanced, I can get 750-770 points per round by hitting a mix of lvl29/30/31 explorers with my Kumari
Much better than having to kill double the amount of lvl22 elites/smash Kumari into bosses
outer herald
@abstract gate do you have Nero livis and Javed
abstract gate
For the klingons I have to swap in Scotty to reach beta penthe
outer herald
I swap Javed and nero around from time to time
abstract gate
I do but they ain't high
outer herald
Fair enough but they do wonders for the ship
abstract gate
Conventional wisdom says cadets kirk and uhura with chen for hostile farming...I'll give your setup a try tonight but I'll still have to dump one for scotty to hit 34's in klingon space
outer herald
Fair enough it seems to have higher survivability that's all and nero brings the burn factor if you put him in charge
abstract gate
Nero's burn is a crew ability no? Arix's is captain
outer herald
One sec I'm recalling my ships
tiny flame
Balance 👍
halcyon briar
tiny flame
I only ever hit 1 faction at first (Roms), which got me to about 3M Kling, 2M Fed. Then over past few months have just used the daily faction event to bring fed up, kling down. I also complete all dailies for both every day
halcyon briar
Can't speak for monobrow, but I planned it from the start, kept both factions on the same teir from 500 rep up. Made it relatively easy to keep them balanced
tiny flame
Just make sure you dont farm the crap out of more than 1 faction really
halcyon briar
Yea every so often I have to cull some feds to keep them from liking me too much
cloud grail
I hit ROMs for daily.. so the Klingons tend to favor me more than Feds, I have to kill a few traders from time to time
tame pebble
where to find level 28-29 explorer Romulans?
latent peak
In romulan space 😋
abstract gate
Vendus A has a mix
Strezhi to the left has explorers/traders max 27
Roms aren't great for explorer farming in the 28/29 range sadly....you'll either have to grind it out on lower points or wreck your ship on higher than optimal hostiles
Parka little north and east of that ss has exploders 29-31 if you're lucky someone will be farming 31's and you can tidy up the 29's for them
@tame pebble
tame pebble
thanks alot
abstract gate
Np happy hunting
outer herald
@abstract gate how's the Mayflower? Any good?
abstract gate
It sucks
outer herald
What power is yours?
abstract gate
Paper thin hull and defective mitigation makes my 500k t6 payflower perform worse than my 355k t7 kumari #payflowersucks
outer herald
Wow really glad I didn't get it.
abstract gate
There's a fix incoming...soon™
outer herald
Oh ok maybe fix it for you guys
abstract gate
As it stands rn skip it and save for saladin
Your kumari will serve until sally is up to speed
outer herald
Agreed
abstract gate
To be fair it did ok vs seperatist bosses though...explorers not interceptors
Ok...not great
But imo that's not it's job, it was sold/marketed as a Klingon killer and it fundamentally fails at that
charred prawn
The event is just badly balanced no trit rewards making it cost a fortune in rss and the balance on the points you get for the levels you hit is just miles offI can either hit 10 lvl 32s for 200 points or 300 level 30's for 60 points both do about the same amount of damage yet one is quicker and gets me more points it should be a trade off hitting the lower levels should get you more points but take you a lot longer due to the numbers you need to hit whereas hitting the higher levels should be the quick option but get less points for it.

Hi, anyone ops25 can tell me max points in this event to be done and and ship lvl for 20 pts? I'm nearly 2 days from ops 25
craggy bear
Lvl 25 is 1500 points for last milestone. Lvl 28+ ships for 20 points, lvl27 for 6 points, lvl 26 for 2 points, lvl 24+25 for 1 point
halcyon patio
@craggy bear thanks, same as ops24
charred prawn
care to point out where I'm wrong @abstract gate if the fastest route is to kill the lowest level you get 20 points for and the most efficient route is to kill the lowest level you get 20 points for how is there any balance in the event it just results in the same level pairings going after the same even level that gets them the 20 points with loads of odd levels spawning and no one wanting to kill them because its so inefficient if I could get 300 points of 2 point ships or 200 points of 20 points ships then that's the trade off from killing 150 hostiles or just 10 you get more points but it takes longer
chilly anvil
It’s the same event as last time where higher level players get screwed. That one they came back and lowered the amounts needed because killing level 36-38 faction ships is stupid expensive. I’m not bothering with this bullshit again.
sand crypt
.... and once again - a bad planned event for all lvl 28/29 - 300 points / kills for nothing as reward ... i have to kill lvl31/32 pve-ships with 300-550k power for faster event progress. and thats impossible and awaste of time with a 235k-ship as my best ship - whats your problem scopley ? - i guess u have a big database of all players and should know the possibilities of your players ?! @wanton skiffly
unbalanced event again -scopely u r destroying this game ! u have earned enough money 💰 now to keep the game alive AND make it better !!
stark vector
And still no answer on the event store topic 😔
winged light
High hopes for ship blueprints 🖖
After all these waiting, we should be able to convert only to officer shards
rapid sky
@sand crypt maybe having a 235K ship as your strongest ship is part of the problem? I'm 26 and my Kumari is 245K
sand crypt
@rapid sky yeah my kumari has 243 in dock but only 235k in space - i habe invested my ressources in the northstar (230k) and the horizon (220k) and my station off course (OPS lvl29) ...
this is the problem ... but if my kumari has 250/260k its not enough for lvl 32 pve-romulans
rough hill
Other problem: not enough npc's respawning . Combined with pretty high target no fun in participating. Absolutely unbalanced
rapid sky
mine is 245K in space with Uhura/Kirk/Chen as crew, higher if I use a burning crew or so, of course if you spend resources on other stuff that's also ok just means you might have to sit some events out 😃
sand crypt
@rough hill its better to be lvl 24/25 - the further event (killing seperatists) was impossible for me to get more as 2 milestones ...
rapid sky
at 29 you should probably have at least one faction ship?
my plan is to upgrade all the T5 components and tier it up to T6 + level up before hitting that OPS 28 and then make a "run for it" for a faction ship
I'm guessing that should put my Kumari somewhere around 270-280K odd
rough hill
Well with kumari not yet unlocked i only have my NS (135k) and Vahklas (141 k) to Hunt. Upgrading not possible yet by lack of 3* uc gas (and parts for NS). So to get it going need lvl 27-28 npc's, but I'm not the only one and respawn rare is to slow
sand crypt
@rapid sky yeah u r right ! but a faction ship costs 220 euros without upgrade pack 😂
if u want a 350k faction ship u need 440 euros - thats insane
rapid sky
@sand crypt no it doesn't, not talking about the ones sold, I'm talking about the ones you get with faction credits at shipyard 28
sand crypt
u r right i COULD build a bortas ...BUT i need 16.000k klingon credits ...
for the blueprints
and one klingon package for 109 euros contains 4500 klingon credits 😂
rapid sky
do you not do daily faction missions for credits?
sand crypt
i can earn about 120 klingon credits per day - so i need about 140 days to build it 🙄😂
rapid sky
I have about 10K of both fed/rom, going to have more now with the event 😃
sand crypt
u need 20k faction credits for the 100 faction blueprints
rapid sky
yep, so half way there
another 2400 odd from the event, and can get up to 250/day so will take another month or a bit more
sand crypt
well i will play the events in 140 days with lvl 29 - sry thats unbalanced ...
rapid sky
it's only unbalanced because you have an underpowered ship as your strongest for level 29 😃
abstract gate
Dude you rushed ops and ignored your flagship that's entirely your problem not scopely's...I'm lvl30 hitting lvl34's with a kumari because I kept my ship upto date with my lvl
devout talon
that is true, but to some extent the game does not do a good job at keeping you busy at lower levels. I see level 28 attacking my base with a 230k kumari and I have a 245k at level 24 because I planned for it in advance.
the issue is that once you screw yourself over you cannot really recover unless you dump a bunch of cash in it
abstract gate
If you don't balance your resource spend between ships and ops you will quickly surpass your ability to be viable in events, my only advice to you at this point would hold ops at 29 until your kumari is t5-6 and/or rush to get a lvl28 faction ship
The events are definitely tailored toward high end expectations of ship power per ops bracket but they are within the realms of possible for those of us who don't yet have faction ships
tame pebble
yes, i completed both klingon and Romulan hunt
abstract gate
Doing 2 costs me 1.4mil trit, 200k dilithium and up to 600 lat to speed repairs...expensive but worth it for the credits
Would do 3 but I don't want to mess up my rep project
rapid sky
all 3 for me is done in 6 rounds, that's around 300K odd trit
maybe 350, forgot how much it takes
too bad they didn't throw faction recruit shards instead of the normal ones
dapper drum
they better bring in an event store to use trophies on otherwise its just an RSS dump

Anyone hunting romluans?

That happened yesterday as well and they corrected it. How it's now back to original is beyond me. 🤦 😂

Is there going to be something to spend all these alliance gold trophies on? :p
sterile pilot
Ok gonna do officers event with grim he should win tbf
sand crypt
@abstract gate thx - there is truth in your speech 👍😉
@abstract gate there was the option to get the kumari on tier lvl 5 or to upgrade the ops 29 ... a fresg tier lvl 5 kumari with lvl25 has which power lvl ? 275k ? not really enough 4 the event

@twilit imp tell your colleagues that this is the best event to come to the game EVER
Took me all of two days to go from 5 Kirk shards to unlocking KIRK.

@twilit imp @loud solar any chance the tritanium and Dilithium rewards can be added to this Faction Hunt event? Please 😁😁😁
ionic fox
@cloud grail you just had an event where you got a ton of trit and some dil
stray tide
@sand crypt the easy way to do this is, dont lvl ops before you can 1 shot the hostiles you need for this event. So lvl officers(change to meta crew?) and your ship, until you can easy grind lvl 32.
abstract gate
What is meta crew?
stray tide
Also gone help you for the Klingon event we just had
Depends on the ship and the crew available
On our server we have a guy running Saladin power 525 with this crew Krass/Harrison/cheng he one shot lvl 34 faction ships. Maybe he could hit higher lvl i dont know
halcyon briar
He definitely could. My Saladin at 316 with Harrison can handle up to lvl 35 explorers and interceptors
And it eats 33-34 for this event just fine
sand crypt
@stray tide yes - thats right - my focus was not on my flagship. but the update to a tier5 - lvl 25-kumari would have cost all my available ressources 6 days ago. and i dont think it makes a BIG difference to have 25k more power on my kumari. now i have 235k - so 260/270k against a lvl 32 patrol with 331k power ... well ... still a problem ... the plan was to lvl up the bortas - but i didnt knew that it is a long term job to earn so much klingon credits 🙄
i already have all important officer options with epic gorkon / kirk and so on ...
thats our servers list - i guess u see now - that i am not the only one who have problem - the last event round there were only 40 players in this list... 😂
