@stray tide whats up on your server ?
lyric sun
Where do I find lvl 18 faction hostiles?
rapid sky
@sand crypt 25K might not make a huge difference, I guess you'll need more tham that to fight lvl32 hostiles efficiently, but nonetheless there's more tiers to the Kumari... also crew is very important, strength is just a number, my 245K Kumari can kill about 8 odd lvl32 explorers
@lyric sun you don't, the lowest ones are 20
vivid swan
can someone tell me why I dont see the 'hunt the <insert faction>' event? I do see alliance event but nothing else (besides the normal daily and weekly events). Is this event level locked? Or maybe faction locked?
ps I'm lv16
teal jackal
Having a powerful ship is key. My kumari was 250k when I went to level 26 and I could handle killing lvl 30s for event just fine. Lvl 31s I can kill 30 or so per round now with Kumari at 285k (tier 6). I'm lvl 27 now and plan to stay there until I get my new D3 to over 500k, save enough rom credits for centurian, and have a few hundred of uc ore/gas to level centurian when I get it.
Faction events are locked to lvl 18 and above I believe.
vivid swan
mrgh. Okiedo 😦
seems a bit weird as I got no issues with killing faction ships. But anyways. I'll sit this event out then I guess 😛
oops. The answer was in my autoplay list 😛
low heath
@vivid swan Event is Lvl 18 and up
meager galleon
Anyone else’s Limited Officer XP events off the rails recently due to these events :3 ?
My server is a newer one so I’m sure the older servers are like double that ? But is abnormal for ours 😃
vivid swan
no changes here
lv16 though so potentially you are in a different bracket
not sure though when you get into a different bracket
meager galleon
I’m in the 28+ bracket so all the wallets are playing :3
halcyon briar
@meager galleon Yea my servers level 28 bracket was over 10m in the first hour lol
meager galleon
Crazy, I’m on 140 - what’s your server Rugged ?
cloud grail
We are back to normal-ish
We had a 7m and 3m winner on the 28+ bracket during the Separatist event, the 24+ bracket went as high as 1.9m
@ionic fox that RSS is gone, went to upgrades.
rapid sky
2.2M on our server 24+ bracket...
I have about 1.7M stacked up but to be honest not sure I have where to spend it all lol
sand crypt
@rapid sky i will give that a try 👍🖖 thx
inland turtle
@teal jackal cent is not a good ship gor npc grinding. My 330k kumari can kill 30+ lvl 31 faction ships but my 410 cent can only do about a dozen. Its low hull is its downfall in this area, even with high shield deflection. It does do good against things like the separatist bosses though, can take one from full shields down to 25% hull while the kumi only gets it down to like 90%
golden veldt
Will there be any event store to spend gold trophies earned through the event ?
halcyon briar
@inland turtle seems to describe explorers in general, they are fine in sustained combat but in situations where they should be dominant they just arent
dusky mauve
Can someone help me get onto the ukc discord page or send me the link
clever knot
Aye, centurion could use some more hull health, likeWookieCookies states. My Kumari is about 25% lower power, and considerably stronger than my centurion. I've tested all three crews too.
sly bluff
No RSS in the events really makes it more difficult... just sayin
shrewd topaz
This event is crap. Too much time repairing, too many costs and deceiving retribution. I stopped doping it. I’m a cash cow.
halcyon briar
I strongly disagree, the tokens are extremely valuable, and lots officer chests too, along with exp to actually use your new officers
latent peak
The faction credits are worth all the resources spend for repair
abstract gate
Yep the faction credits and the officer xp are great but would be nice to get some rss back for repairs
viral prairie
If you could exchange the alliance gold token we got the is not a place you can spend them😓 @twilit imp
abstract gate
I'll happily spend 700k trit and 100k dilithium plus speed ups/lat for 6 saladin bp's
Not sure where the hate for this event is coming from...if you literally can't do it then don't, if you can do it just do it and be happy with your faction credits.
cloud grail
Happy with the event, just would like some RSS and more importantly Speed ups I'm out lol
rapid sky
@abstract gate no matter what event comes up some will complain...
outer herald
I think this event is great, finally faction events where you can earn credits. There worth any amount of RSS atm
Here is another benefit from participating in said event...
fallow meteor
@twilit imp hey do u know if we are going to be getting an event store to use the alliance gold trophy or are they just going to pile up and sit in our inventory
abstract gate
Panic doesn't work weekends
And honestly seeing as how scopely seems to just pull these things out their a@#$'s in the last minutes chances are Panic will only know about it 5m8n before we do.
fallow meteor
i am pretty sure he knows more than he is leading us on
rapid sky
save them for the next event lol 😉
fallow meteor
@median slate what are you talking about 1/4 1/3 1/2
abstract gate
Here's how this goes: launch event>study sales metrics >adjust event to maximise spending >maybe throw us a bone at event end
fallow meteor
o lol i didnt even realize that
abstract gate
Unfortunately this event launched on the weekend so steps 2 and 3 won't happen until Monday if at all
outer herald
@median slate I'm hitting level 31+ reds in Klingon space...
abstract gate
As far as what if anything is added at the end of the event goes my money is on 2xchance at epic officers (kirk/gorkon/nero because faction event)
Would fit with the recruit tokens as rewards and push spending because at least half the playerbase will cash in those tokens as quick as they get them
outer herald
How many more days left in this event? Calculating, if it's correct, should have Saladin by the end.
abstract gate
3days5hrs according to alliance event timer...never rule out scopely moving the goalposts though
stray tide
@sand crypt i am on a founder server but its close to dead, i made the same mistake as you did, until i p2w the D3 up, its 475 k power now, so i am ok atm, but i am not gone lvl 30 i have the rss but cant do the lvl 34 grind it takes to much time.
abstract gate
@stray tide try it with a 355k kumari 😋
With 7-9min warp times 10mins in system and a minimum of 6 runs it takes me around 3-5hrs to do 2/3 events
Not doing Klingon event because I'm trying to fix my fed rep and raise my romulan from minus 1.3mil
stray tide
😕
abstract gate
It's a slog but dem credits make it worthwhile in my book
860 credits/day plus w/e I get from dailys can't be easily dismissed
outer herald
Definitely worth it 13 bps to go for Saladin... I should make it.... 🙂
abstract gate
I'll still be around 25 bp's short of saladin by the end but I still welcome the boost
stray tide
Its perfect that they hand out those credits
ripe iris
@stray tide we are on the same server right? But it is not founder server?
abstract gate
It's pre-release not founder correct
abstract gate
Because your ship sucks for your level...
Also terrible crew
Try cadet uhura captain with either instr spock or McCoy and chen....and stop advancing ops until that thing is 300k or you have a faction ship
You know....the things we've been telling you for 2 days straight now
rapid sky
@sand crypt yes?
frail scaffold
How long will the event be going?
meager galleon
What @abstract gate said
sand crypt
@rapid sky that above is only for your final information. that was e.th. i could do ... well, my crew is awful like dyspeptic mentioned... i have cadet uhura, spock, chen on high lvl too ... so i will try again. thx all - i will not harm you again with my f u c k i n g weak ship for my lvl 29 ... .... but > 300k was never possible. even if i did not the opsupgrade to lvl 29 - i have never had so much ore to get this ship on tier lvl 6 with a few upgrades to reach more than 300k power ...
abstract gate
It takes time and patience...at least one of these you appear to lack
Or €€'s but I'm not advocating spending your way out of the hole you dug.
Worst case scenario you have to skip this round of events and take it as a teaching moment
sand crypt
@abstract gate no more money 💰 😉 ... well - u r right - i will skip this event and in about 100 days my failure will be forgotten and i should have enough ress to update my kumari. or maybe i have enough klingon credits for the 80 missing bortas blueprints ... i guess it could be possible to build AND update a bortas to over 300k in september
devout talon
Don't take it personal mate, but despite how much everyone can try to help, you have to face reality in one way or the other.
It looks like you spent your resources to level up way to fast than you could afford and you are not the only one, so there is no shame in that reality
Honestly, I hold on levelling OPS for as long as I feasibly can. Sometimes it sucks, but I have been able to finish every single solo events doing that until now
sand crypt
@devout talon thx 4 your statement .... off course i do not take it personal - that was really helpful and off course it was my mistake.
devout talon
🖖
abstract gate
@sand crypt that crew setup I suggested should be good for daily pve play too btw. It'll lower your repair costs which in turn will speed up your ability to advance kumari.
agile silo
Well, the really screwed up the separatist event this time! The first time they ran it, it was awesome allowing us to choose our rewards instead of preselected bs...
thin hill
this event is good, and the event before this was good rsswise but they should make an event for 26lvl faction ships, not the pvp bullshit they did last week
at least make them buyable with faction creds
jagged nimbus
The rewards are well worth to be honest as a level 28 players over 5 days the total amount i can earn is the following:
55 3* uncommon gas/crystal and ore
2.66m officer XP
16.65k premium recruit tokens
13.65k ultra recruit tokens
3500 of each faction credits
How people can say these rewards aren't awesome baffles me
mild bluff
if you get to do the 3 eh
jagged nimbus
managed it so far for the first 2 days
candid goblet
Did they add Tri/Dil as rewards in the event now?
jagged nimbus
nope, well event hasnt reset yet so you never knoew
candid goblet
🤞 rest of the rewards are really good, if they would only fix repair speeds and give us trit/Dil/Decent Unc and chance to trade in trophyfor bps this would be the best event so far by miles
soft gate
@jagged nimbus the 3* uncommons are meh. The crew exp is great (mainly because I can use it to complete quite a few 6 hour crew exp events). The recruit tokens are great except...I’m starting to hit the point where I need Command, Science, and Engineering badges and those things have yet to be seen outside of purchased packs. The faction credits are nice, especially the ones for the faction I’m hated by. All in all, good prizes but I think they kind of pale in comparison to the separatist event rewards.
candid goblet
@soft gate If they added decent resources rewards and as always stopped being ridiculously tight on Uncommon Ore/Gas/Crystal this would be awesome. They need an event store for the trophies 🏆
ionic fox
anybody heard any rumours of whats going to be the next event? <@&509691205798592532> @twilit imp
abstract gate
@ionic fox If only we knew. But we don't, sadly. 😢
errant blade
Dear Scopely, This event is very difficult for lvl 24. There are really only 2 systems per faction which spawn lvl 28 faction ships and with a large population of players trying to hit those same ships, there are really never enough to go around. Please consider. Thanks
jagged nimbus
kill levels 27s to spawn 28s (you also get 6 points towards the vent as well when you do)
errant blade
i have been doing htat
but it still takes a lot longer and there are plenty other players that are chasing the 28s while you are dmging your ship to clear the 26s
or 27s
and that is only in 1 of the 2 systems, the other system doesn't have 27s
it has 29 and 30s
every other level has better options is all i'm saying
glacial token
<@&509691205798592532> .....thx for a classy event ....we know we complain a lot...mostly rightfully so....but last 2 events really prevented players to quit!
tropic fox
We're really overdue for another dominion event, aren't we? Can someone please remind me what minimum level you have to be to be able to use that event to get NS BPs?
late thicket
17 was Jellyfish at least, I am guessing 18 is NS
tropic fox
No, I got jellyfish parts from the last event, and I was level 14 or maybe even 12.
tropic fox
Lvl 17 is the MAX level you can be and still get Jelly BPs from the event. However, I don't remember being offered NS BPs last time the event was run when I was at lvl 14.
thin hill
we need 26lvl faction ship event, not the pvp crap
but I have to give it to scopely, tritanium rewards were pretty good and this event is pretty good too
blazing ridge
Where can I find a list of what player levels have to defeat what level of hostiles to get varying points for this event?
tawny coyote
@twilit imp So if you kill a lvl29 Klingon or Rumulan you get 6 point but lvl30 you get 20 point. How do you guy calculate the events? So out of balance
noble sinew
Still want to know what these tokens are going to buy
jagged nimbus
players level 20/21 - kill hostiles level 24 = 20 points
players level 22/23 - kill hostiles level 26 = 20 points
players level 24/25 - kill hostiles level 28 = 20 points
players level 26/27 - kill hostiles level 30 = 20 points
players level 28/29 - kill hostiles level 32 = 20 points
The difficulty of the event increases every 2 ops level so basically if you are at an even number ops level kill hostiles 4 levels higher or if an odd number ops level then 3 levels higher
a faction hostile 4 levels higher is very do-able if you make use of the combat triangle/use the correct crew for whatever ship you are using and you have made sure you haven't rushed you're ops level too far that you're ships are just too weak to compete
blazing ridge
Thanks!
neat plover
There is no calendar of events is there? So once this event is over and we have no idea what the next one will be
golden veldt
Correct.
cloud grail
Yep, it's a box of Forrest Gump's Chocolate Everytime. You never know what your gonna get.
gusty rose
@outer herald where did you get those bps?
outer herald
@gusty rose
@gusty rose I got these killing 33-34 redz in Klingon space
@gusty rose I would say anything level 31 and over has a good chance of getting you a blueprint of some kind it's about 1 in 100 hits I think you'll get one.
That's the average anyway you definitely will get something in 200 hits lol
gusty rose
@outer herald well that's what i have been hitting in the event, but not had your luck. I have been hunting in pekka. What system didnyou get these in?
thick pine
get some trit man @outer herald your ships are starving 😦
outer herald
@thick pine my friend you can't see my trit I got a ton 😈
thick pine
them tokens? !
real bluff
Can we start adding rare items to the event rewards for level 23. Rare Crystal for the kehra or rare gas for the valks would be good. This is the rewards for the ranked officer event for level 23. We need the rare items as well
stark vector
Any news on event store?
inner cave
@twilit imp we really need some sort of resource out of this event. I’m burning through nearly 1 mil trit a day doing all three factions. Managed to go through nearly all the trit tokens I got from the separatists event
thick pine
does any1 remember the previous officer xp event?
rapid sky
@real bluff they are there at higher levels (26, not sure about 24/25), I wouldn't spend rares on Kehra/Vakhlas, save them for later ships 😃
thick pine
how much steel and trit it had?
this one here has 1M steel and 2.4M trit.. i remember seeing 20M steel but can;t remember if it was from the previous officer xp event
rapid sky
yeah they switch the rewards around, sometimes more steel sometimes more trit
inner cave
Not worth it for only 2 mill trit
real bluff
@rapid sky level 24-25 get rare gas
thick pine
3.2k credits and those unc and speedups are nice for me
thick pine
same as lvl 25
inner cave
Not worth it really. Not for the trit I’ve been using to repair my kumari
inner cave
Yeah I upgraded mine now 75k trit and 9.2k dil full repair
thick pine
yours is stronger than mine.. mine eats like 50k ish to repair
rapid sky
@inner cave worth it or not is all depends on how much XP you need to dump for it 😃
thick pine
decided to go to ops 26 to get horizon to raid much much faster
rapid sky
on my server, I prefer to just do the solo events
thick pine
got 2.6M xp officer atm
and my officers need to be upgraded, haven;t been since 1 month ago 😃
rapid sky
but I now have over 2M XP so I guess in 1-2 weeks I might do one of the leaderboard ones
inner cave
On average of the limited it about 2-3 mill to get n1
rapid sky
1st rank on our server at the moment is 2.5M...
thick pine
dayum
813k atm #1
but hours left so will w8 and see in the last hour and decide then
inner cave
Just over 2 mil on mine atm
thick pine
on average on my server is around 1.3m
but with these new events giving officer xp left and right changed dramatically
inner cave
All dependant on lvl that is
rapid sky
yeah, that's why I'm saving it up and going to wait 1-2 weeks lol
most of the officers I use are pretty much upgraded anyway from the solo events
rapid sky
so honestly not sure it's worth it to just dump XP into officers I don't use lol
thick pine
true
but free stuff for officer xp is welcome!
almost all officers that i use can be upgraded
rapid sky
well hopefully with all the recruit tokens I can finally get some of my rares past level 10 or uncommons past level 15
thick pine
did you unpack all?
or saving
for that 2x officer boost,, if they will give one after this event
inner cave
I’m saving hoping I get a 2x xp also keeping my standard ones as well
thick pine
will be nice to know if there is an 2x officer boost coming soon˜ right @twilit imp ??
but thinking it;s classified !
rapid sky
I'm unpacking them at the largest batches... so whenever I have 1500 premium or 4000 ultra... just saves up clicking lol
rapid sky
I got kerla up to level 10, and need a couple more for gorkon
thick pine
19 till gorkon now xD
rapid sky
I have both Nero and Kirk... the joys of also getting faction recruits from dailies 😃
rapid sky
lol I got over 11K for both
thick pine
nice
rapid sky
going to use the rom credits for officers and save the fed ones for saladin
thick pine
spent many on fed packs several months agoi
ago*
yeah saving fed ones for saladin as well
but very long way for me to reach ops 28 rofl
rapid sky
half way to 27... I can upgrade ops already but going for the drydocks and defense platforms first
and I bet shipyard 28 will probably have some odd dependencies
gonna take about 40 days to rack up the fed credits anyway
actually, probably more... don't think I can sustain 30M of RSS points every day for the next month
thick pine
most likely yeah
rapid sky
unless they bring some more events that gives lots of trit 😄
thick pine
yeah more trit !
rapid sky
@median slate the Vakhlas is a POS when it comes to grinding NPCs, so there's no good way except speeding up the time between OPS 24 and getting the Kumari 😄
My Kehra was doing a better job grinding the 22 elites with less power than my Vakhlas
and the Kehra gets stupidly expensive to upgrade at T6
inner cave
@median slate I was fine till I upgraded armour and phaser and warp my t5. That’s when it jumped up a bit. Mostly when i upgraded phaser was the biggest jump.
I did the same for my kumari rushes a lot, just to unlock it. Just hit the ops 25 this morning 😊
rapid sky
yesh, I hate this stupid way of damage going to a shield that is already gone
but 11K damage only is pretty low, I'm doing about 20K 😄
25K with Kirk
ahh ok, for me it's around 16K after mitigation
still, against lvl 30 klingon explorer (38K shield) I lose about half of the kinetic weapon damage
I use Uhura/Chen/Kirk
Spock or Mccoy might be better, but I also need to attack lvl31s, and I'm too lazy to compare battle logs
vs. lvl 30 I probably get no real benefit from Kirk
tame pebble
@rapid sky i also use the same crew on kumari
sleek lark
@rapid sky shipyard requirements at level 28
rapid sky
@sleek lark thanks, what would be interesting is the building requirements to be able to build it
sleek lark
@rapid sky I can’t remember the specific requirements to be able to build it sorry but there is 5 major builds at any level ops, academy, r&d, refinery and shipyard and I tend to do those builds in that order and the smaller builds in between with speed ups to get my faction rep points and credits
rapid sky
yeah I know, but say at 24 the shipyard required all the vaults up to date 🤦
which in turn required Gen A&B of each up to date...
that was a long way to get up to date as I neglected them cause who really uses them
sleek lark
Yeah I remember but thankfully that’s not required at 28 as you can see I’m still working my way through vaults as some are expensive on resources that I chose to spend elsewhere
@rapid sky
rapid sky
lol thanks, hopefully I won't find any surprises, doing the drydocks & defense platforms, then OPS 27

Aug store they announced it was to be closed. So I cashed in early..m regret it now cuz I would have gotten more at ally

The event store to exchange khan tokens for Aug tokens. Not the augment store

tawny coyote
@twilit imp Hello. Can we do something about the event calculation. How come we have a big difference between lvl29 and lvl30? How come is 6 points for lvl29 and lvl30 is 20 points?
atomic shore
Someone knows if there will be an event shop to spend the token?🤔
halcyon briar
Probably not, prior events didn't have any way to spend gold or silver trophies either, that was a more recent development
chilly venture
Yes exactly, those were initially only to tally the alliance total. They introduce the ability to do special recruit as a dump for those, but later on and not always
so don't expect a store like when we had the separatist event, main goal of this event is the faction credits, and loads of summon and aofficer XP
Worst case we will keep them until the next special recruit, no big deal
golden veldt
I'm feeling the same.
charred prawn
Part of the issue which has always been there and complained about every event but never changed is the very harsh step up you get when going from an odd to an even level and the fact that there is almost no incentive to kill the odd level hostiles really the hostile level you need for 20 points should go up by 1 so lvl 27's need 30s, 28s need 31 and 29 need 32s. As well as making the jump much lower this then means that there are also players willing to kill the odd level hostiles as it gets them max points
abstract gate
Think it’s a matter of people moving through the levels to quick. If you struggle to kill a 20 pointer you did something wrong along the way. The game is telling you to invest in your ships.
forest cipher
What was this ranking for? There's no text. Came up when I ***re-***started the app.

when can we spend the alliance trophies?
jovial kiln
Think they have allowed them to be spent before
wind vapor
yes we could spend them before, probably going to be after the event so it does not mess with the scoring.
rain terrace
Hmm, i had thought they could be spent last time too. Maybe it's just at the end this time cause they tweaked what could be bought the last time which was freaking annoying if you had already bought stuff.
rapid sky
previous event it was the recruit shards, but I had trophies left overs from the previous event where I guess they couldn't be used lol

@twilit imp have you heard any word of an event store for our trophies or are we to just horde them now like everything else?

@tawny coyote don't forget gas

Skip the gas, it smells 😂😂
gleaming meadow
Random observation, this event gives trophies in multiples of 10. For alliance points 1 trophy is 1 point. So how the hell do we have alliances with anything but a 0 as the last digit of their score?
... nvm. Just hit me different tiers of rewards probably. I need to wake up more.

Still no word on any way to spend all these trophies?

@gleaming meadow it doesn't give trophies in multiples of 10 for all levels, for example level 22 gets 3, 7, 20, 35.

it's obviously a filler event, but it would have been nice to include augment in it next time

@abstract gate same here level 23 and maxed all 3 each day. Anything over a mining event though. When did you ever see them mining in Star Trek?

@abstract gate some players are playing farmville anyway 😂 😂

@gaunt yacht any word on the event store for the alliance trophies please?

Is there some reason why Realta is featured in the mining event? (Picard facepalm)

@dusty The Original Series - Mudd's Women, The Devil in the Dark (Horta Episode), The Cloud Miners, Mirror Mirror, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home... Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
real bluff
@pulsar solstice I meant the actual crew of the ship
pulsar solstice
You act like you are actively part of this crew you send out to do mining.
latent peak
Mining crew are the red shirts in this game, very low chance to come back home alive 😂
real bluff
@pulsar solstice I hate mining and a lot of other people do as well. I have 3 ships and I'm meant put them all on a mine for hours on end to be able to compete in the solo leader board event? What is the point in playing a game where that is all you do in it?
Plus 500k trit for max reward after the last event doesn't help a lot of make me want to do it at all
pulsar solstice
I hate mining too. The point is, Star Trek had said things, but like ANY show out there, you don't put every mundane thing in there... Like does anyone go to the Bathroom? We know they had showers being shown in the Movies, but do you HONESTLY believe they didn't have them watching the Original Series?
The events are so optional. Some of them aren't even worth the effort. More to give a leg up for those who need it.
supple sail
Nah, no showers in the original, they just used the transporter to filter out all the dust, dirt, & germs.

Uhura + shower = 🤤🤤🤤

@twilit imp @gaunt yacht what is broken with the mining event? It seems to be not worth participate on it with this rewards and duration
Even the solo event has only few token rewards?

Stop doing this shitty mining events before you add more nodes in your MINING GAME.
G3 was already hard enough to get for daily’s without smashing someone of node.... with this lame events it become even much worse

No bonus refinery this time?

Countdown was missing at start of mining last time, got added a few hours later. Too busy counting cash and buying yachts.

Tbh, i got more UC from normal refinery than bonus last time. So not worth it.

Don't do the 150k batch, it never paid out

they need to keep giving a bunch in events like last couple, refinery does nothjing
latent peak
Seperatist event was hard because of all killing lv22, the last faction event was ok, just some ress in rewards would make it sweet,
This mining event and the poor rewards is a chance to make a break from game, so not bad

I need the uncommon and rare, i can "obtain" the rss
events were kind of grindy, but i can deal with that for uncommon, rare, faction credits, officer shards

@twilit imp will the burst events be announced in GC or the in game announcement board?
Thanks in advance!

And a full complement of realta BPs

Like a “generic” token which can be used to upgrade any officer? Thatd be cool, a wild card
I think the last person / last alliance should get a good prize too. But funny to see the race to bottom. Wooden spoon

A moderators response / suggestions for event rewards. Make sure it goes the Live Ops team 😉
hushed belfry
Same events, same rewards, over and over and over
How about you try something new, instead of always being an alliance vs alliance competition, maybe make a days rest in between for sanities sake, and then have a "2 day mining special, 2x mining rates" sort of event
SOMETHING that is just straight up a thank you/giving it back to the community for the millions of dollars scopely makes, instead of a constant fight for the same scraps over, and over, and over...
Someone wake me when this game gets exciting again.
tiny flame
I think they need to run events concurrently. Only way to drive real choice. Mine or kill?
hushed belfry
@twilit imp PLEASE try a different event for once! You're causing burnout with these constant and sometimes even overlapping events! 24 hour rest in between any alliance events, and try some even short/fun "increased mining/building/repair etc.." type of events! You guys are killing this game.
soft gate
Really wish they’d give out tons of raw 3 star for the solo rewards. The constant battle to mine is burning me out.
mint adder
I do think of the mining events as the rest period between events
move a ship every 6 hours to reset nodes
soft gate
For anyone lvl 18-25, mining events are hell on earth.
tiny flame
Its all about increasing the time in game. Creating a dependency. They are our crack dealers, and this isnt a joke.
One of their key KPIs is time spent in game. Constant events drive that. It will not change unless how they view success changes.
abstract gate
@tiny flame What I would do for Mining Event rewards 🤔

versed gulch
@abstract gate I've noticed the same thing, but also saw plenty of uncommon for ore and crystal, but gas keeps coming out as common. Twice a day for a couple of weeks for me. I've reported this twice to Scopely and they insist their systems are flawless.
meager tinsel
If the Horizon is anything like the envoy I wouldn't want BPs for it. Some players have enough to build 3-4. I have enough Envoy prints for 6. They should give officer shards and 3* uncommon and rare.
Because even if we get the mining bonus, we only get three chances at getting reasonable, logical amounts of 3* unc and rare
solid badger
Why is this not bracketed? There is no way for anyone under lvl 25 to compete and definitely not a 14-16 player due to lack of ships available

Out of al games that I did played where mining is involved this game has lowest plausible activity.... and yet mining in this game is most required feature🚽🚽🚽

Anyway got ss of mining event which appears when you login?

Quedtion: why no points tor data mining?
tame pebble
Because data mining rate is way faster than other mining

the game is becoming farm town

well dilithium is way slower than other mining too
abstract gate
@albio i am lv 24 with t6 bb. 20k decoded data in 55 min. The usual winners of such events on my server beyond lv 32 with almost all ships they got maxed out. Only thing that changes with data is he/she wins faster^^
question: why rewards are so heavy on para and low on trit/dil?
frozen abyss
Because we need millions of parsteel for a single upgrade, and more stuff takes parsteel.
stable heron
does promoting miners increase their mining rate?
digital patrol
Yes dös
mint adder
@stable heron I believe the mining officers Mining boost is there Captain Skill. If that is the case it does not increase with promote, only through synergy
Their officer ability would increase with promotion
digital patrol
I thought of ship updates
frozen abyss
The only one who increases when you promote is Joaquin because the mining ability is the officer ability instead of the captain's maneuver.
stable heron
thanks guys!
inner cave
@abstract gate Barrot and tiring shard for 24 up really a bit pointless. Test they are good but if your doing you dailies you get enough std chest to lvl them easily. 24 and up its all about res, due to high cost and repair times
hexed schooner
I understand that Scopely believes in some separate levels to have some fairness in game play. They finally have put some levels in some events. But they need to do more, some events are so skued to higher levels it makes no sense. Have levels in all events and contests that are achievable by everyone in their level, not just those that are high level.
vital drum
For variety, Scopely should have rewards for the top 5 alliances, with the greatest rewards going to the fifth and the least to the top.
carmine lily
Ah finally a mining event! Now we can miner smashed...ahem, now we miner smashed...now we can finally miner smashed...miner smashed...Now we can finally re miner smashed...we can finally relax and miner smashed......miner smashed**miner smashedminer smashed...oh look! parminer smashed...parsteel?miner smashed.........Maybe if I miner smashed...mine with a warship?warship smashed and insulted. I guess i'll just go back to hunting hostiles need more resources to repair GAH!!!!!
vital drum
What about an alliance penalty for every survey ship attacked during the event?
cloud grail
@vital drum interesting.. do go on
carmine lily
-1000 points for every miner killed! Lol, our top alliances would be millions in the negative
vital drum
Something like that, yes. Any alliance going into the negative will have their mining buffs reduced
vagrant glen
Will we be getting a bonus refine near the end of this current mining event?
vital drum
So, my goal for solo mining is 2.4 million. My 2 maxed envoys running for 24 hours without any interruptions can net me 1.5 million over 24 hours. My North Star can bring in a bit more, but needs constant management. So. The only reward I want is the 1 mil tritanium token at the top, which I can't achieve. Do I bother mining at all?
vagrant glen
You have over two days, if you can do 1.5 a day you’ll make it before it’s up
vital drum
Mmm. That's better. Thanks, didn't see that
merry fulcrum
Event is designed so people have to have multiple good miners, or constantly be managing their miners
abstract gate
At lvl 30 it works out as 6k g3/hr to reach the 4.5mil milestone. Absolutely doable with 2 good miners (horizon + ns for example) or 3 maxed envoys.
Hell 1 t6 horizon with the right mining officer can do it on it's own if you have the time/patience to babysit it.
gusty rose
I am half done on my 4.5 M solo event, NS with ore miner and one other mining crew for synchronicity, do the same on other ships and you will get there no probs
rancid gazelle
I’m lvl30 One horizon and one faction miner out 17.5k p/h. It really depends on your ships😃 but I have always reached the goals easily. Just make sure you have ships that go with your lvl.
merry fulcrum
@rancid gazelle aka put effort into your ships
rancid gazelle
Yup
merry fulcrum
Which some people don't know how to do that
abstract gate
Yep, I put the effort into my miners so I don't have to put effort into mining...not bothering with the leaderboard, it's just there to make you feel the need to spend.
vital drum
Yeah for some reason I thought it was a daily target. Over 3 days it isn't so bad. Ships are horribly important and all mine are as leveled as I can get them. I'm also slightly lower level than I need necessarily be but it does allow easy completion of events for the most part
abstract gate
Anyone seen an alliance burst mining event yet? If so what's the criteria
fallow meteor
@abstract gate in my server the number 1 slot for the alliance minning leaderboard is 20,316,090

Yeah that's the standard alliance event....on the splash screen it mentions burst events, 1hr notice with a 1hr duration
thick pine
20M already rofl
3M is #1 on my server atm
oh the alliance
nvm i read #1 player.. checking alliance rank
35M
abstract gate
Your server are lightweights lol

It's not that alliance event I'm talking about...sec I'll try and force a splash screen
Grr 10 restarts and no splash screen...I give up
abstract gate
Found it
Alliance burst mining events...anyone seen one yet? @twilit imp is this a thing or did the content creators overreach themselves again?
rapid sky
so at lvl24/25 the top goal was 2.4M and gave 4 steel tokens, 1 trit token and some odd dil (I think 80K), at 26 it's now at 2.9M and gives 5 steel tokens, 1 trit token and 1 dil token, so 20% increase in goal, 20% increase in steel/dil but no increase in trit 😄
and with horizon mining at 5400/hr + envoy at 4300/hr that's 30hrs of mining with both of them, I got as much steel and trit from <1hr of raiding yesterday 😄
abstract gate
Yes and somebody else can take all that away from you just as easily....tokens > pure rss
abstract gate
Effort? There's no effort needed
rapid sky
well, I need to mine 30hrs with 2 ships, make sure I never go over cargo or forget to refresh the mine
abstract gate
And? This is what most of us do anyway no?
Free unraidable tokens for doing nothing different than usual is fine by me.
rapid sky
nope, I only mine for dailies and only beacuse of credits
warped stag
If packs are offered, then atleast add a relevant faction credit. Some players have miner officers, who need upgrades with credit. This might make the packs more appealing?
rapid sky
that's 30K/day, or 90K over the course of the event
rapid sky
which faction credits does T'pring needs to go past level 10?
rapid sky
ahh ok, cool
mild bluff
15-20 fede but 1k1 or 4k5 ?
rapid sky
I thought rares start needing credits at 10 to 15
mild bluff

Maybe as a lowly miner, they all cost less?

What is the best way to refresh a node?

get off of it go to galaxy view then click locate on the miner that was on the node and it will be refreshed when u click on it

@twilit imp can you tell us what is a burst mining event. It talks about it when logging on but have not seen anything and the first day will be over in 5 hours.

I'm guessing it was a nice idea that didn't make it to the final build

maybe it's when you burst out in rage and start killing other miners out of desperation

The burst mining events were probably meant to happen but they decided to reorganise the UI instead
abstract gate
@fallow meteor thanks!
spiral forge
most commonly asked question at the moment : do the bonus refinery is going to be availaible? last event there was a countdown on the refinery, but not this time?
lusty oak
I would have said the most commonly asked question is what's the burst event?
abstract gate
Burst event is some kind of short span alliance event...either like the old school alliance hostile hunt (milestones) or current alliance events (competitive leaderboards)....either way it doesn't seem to have made the cut
lusty oak
Maybe they were going to use it to test the new notification servers as they mentioned that they would give 1 hour notice
spiral forge
@lusty oak : herr, whats the burst event?😂
agile silo
This is a six day event and will most likely see the countdown on the last day which is the 11th
This, of course is just theory as it’s happened in the past
abstract gate
Extrapolation from known factors 👍 almost as good as actual information @twilit imp any luck getting confirmation on return of the refining bonus "event"?
teal jackal
@abstract gate speaking of lightweight
warped stag
Seems on par
abstract gate
Yeah looks like most of the faction miners are concentrated in one alliance on yours and Damo's server though
Big leap from 2nd to 1st on both
chilly venture
nah second alliance in ranking is actually slightly above us in power, but we are much more active and organized 😉
and our server in general is not that much active : I am 12 in the ranking atm, while mining only with an horizon and a NS
gusty rose
My alliance is 2nd but the leaders have almost 3 times as many peeps. But we are stonger on average and have more peeps with 4 ships and more horizons.
I have 3, and 2 BPS away a 4th, but dontbsee point in building it.
warped stag
@abstract gate that is the elite alliance, you get asked to join. As you see from the alliance power, they are ahead. They win nearly all events. Faction miners, T6 horizons and T8/9 BBs across the board. Faction ships for hostile events.

I have a maxed BB and can do over 100k green per hour on right data node

Love the timing on this burst event middle of the night when everyone is asleep or meant to be asleep anyway
Also no anouncment in game about it starting just saw as checked the event board
reef adder
think this is due to promoting either PVP or randomizing winners to some degree
they are announced one hour prior according to the description
cloud grail
Announced secretly lol
carmine lily
It's official, Scopely has finally created a server killing event. It's already 26+ only on all the g3 nodes, now they're gonna go nuts and kill off everyone on the g2 nodes as well. Congratulations you've effectively made 90% of the game population quit playing for at least the rest of the day.
reef adder
i think by announcement, it just shows up on the events page with a timer hehe
its only for a hour @carmine lily
carmine lily
Yeah but anyone who actually tryies to participate in the event who's not already in the top 3 alliances is gonna go broke within minutes repairing their miners.
I've already fought off 6 attackers and more are coming. I expect the system purges any minute.
2 minutes into the event and #1 server alliance already had 1.2 million points, 6x what the next alliance had.
this event is a joke.
slender trellis
@twilit imp I restarted the game, no update on the interior base view news feed channel about the burst event? Will future events and updates be posted there? I'm a top 50 alliance leader and just trying to answer questions about if the new base news feed channel will be a reliable source of information. Seems weird there would be a new news channel but news wasn't posted there in game. Thanks!
bright slate
This event is retarded. Fighting over nodes. 2.4 mil pts. In g3 thats 240k. Thats 80k a day g3. Fighting everyone else for nodes. Thats highly improbable almost impossible. Events should be possible to complete. Otherwise whats the point.
soft gate
@bright slate stick a fully tiered Envoy on a trit node. It by itself will get you most of the way there.
teal jackal
Our server is relatively tame I guess. Everyone is generally following the rules. The big fights are when someone snakes a node when the miner is resetting a zero and hitting a zero within seconds of the mine hitting zero. Technically within our server’s ROE. IT’s
carmine lily
It's pretty much a slugfest over anything g3. G2 is fairly competitive as well, but over 50% of the server is beyond needing g2 anymore. Trit nodes are 95% occupied as well unless you go for the really small ones way down in lvl 9 space.
How virtually every event ends.
soft gate
It was a real nail biter to the end, wasn’t it?
drifting pivot
Wow, we just won ours with 230k 😂
carmine lily
yeah they had cracked 1mil before the 1st minute was up

Not many people awake where I am

My Envoy with mining officer mines at a little over 8300 trit an hour

Which is only 1 ship outta 3 and only if its maxed. What OP lvl do people have 3 maxed envoys and why should they be the only ones who can finish.
Without officer.
soft gate
I was lvl 24 & 25. I had to deal with the 2.4M requirement. I did it each time mining trit because I couldn’t get a 3 star node to save my life. I still don’t have all 3 of my Envoys maxed. Its possible.
bright slate
@drifting pivot
smoky spade
They need to merge the servers. I hate to hear that some of y'all have a peaceful experience
cosmic sage
I had three maxed envoys at lvl 19.
steady lake
How are you level 24 and dont have more than 1 maxed envoy? You shouldnt be using 2* mats on anything else at this point. Maxing envoys is one of the most important things you can do. I had 3 maxed by level 20
cosmic sage
And at lvl 26 I should have enough blueprints for a second horizion in a couple of weeks, but its expensive to tier up and it's going to be a long time before even one is maxed.
carmine lily
@soft gate that seems to be the plan. make us completely forego all refineable materials in order to complete the event so that we have nothing to use on the bonus refinery at the end.
soft gate
Our server is way overpopulated. Judging by the resource distribution and the prizes, I think only a few hundred should be on a server, not a few thousand.
carmine lily
@steady lake yo've either bought resources, or been EXTREMELY lucky with the refinery. I've been max refining crystal every day since i could access it, i'm lvl 22 and still don't have enough to max my 2nd envoy...don't have any of my g2 ships maxed either, the refinery just doesn't dropp uncommon....at all most days. on average 5 of 7 days at 50k refine i get no uncommon, the other 2 days I get either 5 or 10. The only way I've gotten enough uncommon to upgrade anything has been through events and i've had to run my resources completely dry for every single one to get anything at all out of them let alone get the top tier reward.
@soft gate I don't think we are overpopulated, we seem to actually be a bit thin on players in my opinion. The problem is that 95% of the server population is all in the same 2 level range so we're all constantly fighting in the same areas over the same things.
couple with that the fact that we have super-whales that take nearly every reward from every event.
soft gate
Our server has been opened up to new player 2-3 times. We have a significant population in the teens, all levels of twenties and a stupid number of people lvl 30+. The problem you are seeing is because there are not enough mines in the high level areas to accommodate the high level players, so they come down to the low level areas. This creates a supply issue for the people in the 20s and quite honestly the low people on the totem pole lose that fight. We also have probably 40-50 alliances that I would call active, which is a problem when prizes are only handed out to the top 10.
carmine lily
We must not be on the same server. The server has never been reopened to new players, there's no one in the teens except for a couple people holding out at lvl 14 to be jerks at the g3 mines and only about 10 active alliances.
but yeah top 10 or top 25 is nothing, totally bogus
vital drum
We get a few noobs once in a while. A couple stick around, others get pounded into oblivion. Players on our server aren't too nice
granite cobalt
it's amazing how easily people get angry and act childish and immature in this game...
carmine lily
It's mostly the childish wanton griefing. The game seems to be designed specifically to encourage that kind of behavior.
vital drum
Yeah I'd agree. I don't think I've seen such ugly attitudes in a game for, well since ever. Shame since it's star trek. It's very disappointing
bright oriole
Our Server gets a lot of European people but also US and Russian. An Event between 2 and 3 o Clock at night? You just kidding me.
steady lake
@carmine lily I don't need 2* mats anymore so when I read your message I did a refine of 3k 12k 12k and got 55 uc in total, with no type paying out none. I rarely refine 2* anymore but it's been this way for a while now. Maybe you just get unlucky payouts. Max refining doesnt have any better chance than any other. Do the mid level one. Highest one isnt worth it. 2* raw materials are very easy to raid a ton of
hardy parcel
I saw no notification or announcement for this

@twilit imp Can you advise if they will be having anymore of the burst event and will it be during the day in the EU

how much do these mining burst events last?

for what I understand only an hour
hazy stag
Why the f would you run a 1 hour burst alliance event in the middle of the night with no prior warning?!
hazy stag
But like there is such a thing as tying cron processes to local timezones and stuff
tawny coyote
@hardy parcel yes it was totally unfair. Did not even get the announcement in the new section they said it build for that purpose. Nothing.
@twilit imp Good morning. The Maga miner special will end in about a day or so. What will be this weekend event? Can we get an official announcement? Are we going to have other mining burst? If so can you please use the new announcement portal that was created for that purpose. Please.
real bluff
@hardy parcel there was no announcement in game or anywhere for it. I only knew about it as I check the events tab every now and again anyway.
swift lotus
The mining event will repeat. If you look at the alliance event it was 6 days long total.
You’ll have to repeat Friday-Saturday-Sunday
tawny coyote
@swift lotus Thanks.
earnest rock
Yaaaaaaaaaay.........mining.......so fun..........
abstract gate
I just realized that there will be additional 4 days of mining event. Please STOP this game is not FarmVille
warped stag
@abstract gate where else do you get your resources and materials from then?
abstract gate
This is a war game not a collecting game. Hitting is fine. No fun in sending a miner and wait hours to collect rss
In a game there is something that we have to do, and this is no wait until your charge is full
plenty of miners that just leave em on a mine and then its over the protected limit, that is a legitimate hit. you could troll that way, fyi.
The same is all days even without mining events
halcyon briar
@abstract gate mining events are pvp events
abstract gate
Really? That is strange because if you give a look on the galaxy you may see only miners extracting and only few few times someone hitting. Maybe we have different idea of PvP event 😊
dapper sedge
If mining is considered a PVP event and your server rolls with that, then you first end up with a period where no one can mine for more than 10 minutes and then afterwards all 3* mine nodes are occupied by the server's highest level players. This happened on ours during the March event and now we have an accord (like many other servers).
ripe iris
Alliance leaderboard rankings needs to be changed and add 4,5,6 th.. places to make it more competitive.
abstract gate
Mine is #3
soft gate
@abstract gate some servers are more violent than others. It always amuses me when people say “this is a war game”. The game is what it is. You may want it to be a war game but it doesn’t change the fact that resource collection, protection and management is probably 90% of the game.
alpine yoke
I cringe every time someone breaks out that farmville reference, thinking they're being clever.
soft gate
I can see the similarities assuming they patched FarmVille to add sociopathic neighbors who routinely try to still you stuff and occasionally kill your live stock for no reason.
abstract gate
Exactly, on our server we decided some rules and almost all allies agree with them. So siciopathic and violent player are under control. We discuss all single attack outside rules and we always find a diplomatic resolution
Hover this is only my opinion, of course. We ha 4 days mining event and why should we have additional 4 days? All events have a duration of about 4.
Last two events , hit separatists and factions, were nice. No attacking other players but action game. That’s all. No need violence to have fun
With mining events players become crazy and hit a lot to look for a node. This is violence for me. Someone Uber wrote that we ha to look for over protected rss and hit. True but then the hit player wants his revenge and hit you back. This finish only with big fight

So once 3 day mining event gets over, will it be a repeat ? @twilit imp
merry fulcrum
@abstract gate it's actually nice for a long cool down, allows you to get a bunch of speed ups in preparation for another set of events that will most likely require you to do a lot of pve, and make a lot of repaira
I have a easy time mining, only been killed about 5 times off of 3* nodes, 2 times were because I was on a zero node
abstract gate
All people likes different things. In our server during mining event players become crazy because the are not able to finish the daily missions. I like alternation. We had 4 days mining event so why now other additional 4. I understand that developers have to make happy all their players but alternation please 😁
@abstract gate we had 2 pve events back to back...6 days of doing a thing I do anyway is fine by me
And those pve events were brutal in the 30+ bracket btw

How come the solo minning event shows me a position while I don't see one once I'm inside event details?

As you accumulate points, you move up. I think the number may just be ranking in the wrong category. I tested it before, but can't find my notes.

Never mind this event when can we spend gold trophies from separatist event ?
sleek lark
I don’t know about you lad but I did
merry fulcrum
Dang the messed up your rewards badly then
sleek lark
merry fulcrum
Because I got trit, dilithium, and 3* mats from That event
However I did get gold trophies from the faction hunt
sleek lark
That’s the thing I’m talking about
What’s the point in winning alliance gold trophies if you can’t spend them then go straight into another event it’s stupid
merry fulcrum
We'll probably be able to spend them during the next battle for glory solo event
halcyon briar
The gold alliance trophies scored you points in the alliance event. That's their point

No just another scoply flub same event has ran several times before ... Those trophies were supposed to be redeemed for officer pieces, however scoply forgot to put the button up .

Did they forget to hit the go button for the mining burst event?
carmine lily
looks like it
stray tide
@halcyon briar no you are wrong, you could use them for recruitment the last two events
halcyon briar
that is correct @stray tide but the prior events had no use for them, it is not garunteed the recruitment bonus would continue
stray tide
Hope to see something in the hopefully "new" event store they can be used to buy.
halcyon briar
me too
seeing the event store just have the khan tokens depresses me with how good it was the first time
stray tide
Yes a new economy overall concept and a new event/token/credit store could take the game a step up
halcyon briar
yea im fine with the refinery not being the main source of uncommon and stuff if they add more events and interactive sources for it

Maybe just a road map so ppl know what to expect.

The 3d alliance mining event - did anyone get the rewards? Or did scopeply just extend to 6d without notice to make it twice as hard for no extra rewards?

It was 6 days all along.

@twilit imp Please tell us that after six days of mining there's gonna be two days of bonus refinery. But the original one, i.e. the one that actually produced some rare materials, not the revisited version you brought in last time... 😬👍
There's a load of people on my server setting alarms to reset their nodes at stupid times at night... those folks need some sleep. And we all need some rare materials.

Or alternatively they could start a data mining event, just to be different 😞

last time the bonus refinery didn't show up and start ticking down until 24hrs before it would appear. I suspect it will be that way this time. most of us have given up on the event at this point anyway. The solo event is near impossible to complete
merry fulcrum
Lol, I did it last round, on vacation so I'm not completing it this time
Got 2 parasteel tokens last time
carmine lily
I don't know why they keep giving us parsteel tokens when what we always need is tritanium.
nearly every event loads me down with so much parsteel it's falling out the airlocks.
merry fulcrum
Lol, I wonder whats the cause of that?
Also I don't use my parsteel tokens, they're in my inventory just to collect dust and be used once I need to use them and can't raid for it
carmine lily
Yeah I haven't ever had a need for them, Parsteel is so easy to get it just makes you a target.
merry fulcrum
Well if becomes very important down the line
But I'm not hiding all of it under a shield and lack other rss in return

Hi all , is there a bonus on the refinery at the end of the event ?

Maybe
low heath
That maybe is about as solid as the expectation there was going to be a trophy event store at the end of the last event.
sage plank
Question - if you are mining with exposed cargo over your protected limit and get attacked. How much gets scored for the current mining event? Just your protected limit, or all resources mined to that point?
@low heath Yeah - not getting to spend those has been annoying me!
rapid sky
@tough swift you get credit for what you mined
sage plank
Thanks. I’m not worried about losing rss, so will save the time on recalling ships and just send them out again when they get smashed!
atomic shore
@sage plank you could have an eye on it and suicide your ship on a hostile as soon as it gets attacked by a player. So you would save all overcapped rss.
sage plank
You don’t lose exposed rss when attacking hostiles and losing? That’s useful to know!
atomic shore
@sage plank thats the point 😉

I don't know about you guys. But almost everyone I speak to on my server hates mining events
I'm looking to petition Scopely to never have mining events again
frosty kayak
@everyone is there an event schedule?
thick pine
currently mine, mine and mine more !
earnest hornet
I understand the pain of a mining event, but one of those actually encourages me to mine, and it significan'ty boosts my stores of G3, which I severely need for refining and upgrading.
same with a hostile event, i never hit as many hostiles as i do during an event, because it encourages and adds an extra incentive to do so, if you don't want to do an event no one is saying you have too, just don't do it.
otherwise it gets boring if there is the same limited number of events happening, changing things around, on a rotation means we at least know of something consistent we can rely on to get extras,
plucky ermine
I have a quick question about points that are required in the station event. In the tooltip it says 1 Power increased by Building | 1 Point. How do I know before starting a building upgrade how much power impact this will have?
@median slate thanks. I might have guessed so. - On a side note this mechanic of the burst minig event is really sad. This should never had been implemeted like this - unbelievable!

last time though it said "3 days" and I could get 4 rolls, so maybe now it will be 5

so on my solo milestone I can get 100 throphies.
if the solo event resets every 8h, that's 12 resets or 1200 thorphies.
I guess I can burn the one I have saved now and still will have some for the next

@twilit imp
Is this new Battle for Glory event a mistake?
Seems odd for you to launch a new event while the old one is still running and with no fanfare. Plus the rewards are worse than the last hostiles event which makes me think somebody has pressed the wrong button somewhere.

@modern estuary - all the mining agreements people have on some servers sounds crazy
reason there are not "enough" nodes is you are supposed to fight over them
modern estuary
@mint adder thats all good n well except pretty much every alliance has this agreement.
fail to follow the rules they all gang up on ya
rough frost
Screw all mining agreement is a good idea. Like instead of waiting one hour for a free spot or to find one to kill within the rules, you find one in 30 sec and get kill 50 times each day. Will definitively propose that to my server 🤔
wise ibex
no mining burst today?
inner loom
Wouldn’t it be better / more fun to suspend your mining agreements during a mining event?
rough frost
I dont how it s fun To mine 5 min every hour and repair 20 ships ^^ in that case It s not a mining event but a pvp one. How could it be better to suspend those agreement ?
abstract gate
The mining agreements allow flexibility. I have the ability to defend my mines, not the time for a multi day event. Have to work to pay for this game don’t I?
inner loom
But... this is a pvp game... and I don’t find joy in mining
abstract gate
Well I am not arguing the mining event is boring
supple sail
You aren't forced to follow any mining agreement. Yer right, it is a pvp game. Most servers you can ignore rules and get on a KOS list giving ya all the pvp ya could ever want or handle. Yall are always free to choose, but there are always consequences to any decision, but by all means never let anyone take away yer ability to choose fer yerself.
supple sail
They do with most people, but to say there shouldnd be agreements cause its a pvp game isn't a good argument. If they want to pvp what better way than to have half the server consider them kos?
modern estuary
all out war doesnt help either though if noone can mine to upgrade and progress they end up quitting the game
more roids in deeper faction space would allow the stronger players move out away from the lower end systems thus freeing up roid space for weaker players
mint adder
It doesnt turn to war, they learn not worth it. And i personally do not kill anyones miners except the aforementioned revenge
modern estuary
one step would be to prevent very low players mining g3 roids as they cannot be attacked
you should need an envoy at least to mine g3
mint adder
i just find the waiting to pounce on a miner as soon as it get to some certain status, and then hiding behind agreements from retribution, to be a weak ass move
supple sail
I certainly don't advocate all out war. I prefer the mining agreements, I just am pointing out that to those who say they shouldn't be allowed because its a pvp game that they are still free to play however they wish despite what their server decides. They just should be prepared to pay the consequences. I support their right to play as an a r s e h a t and hope they can find enjoyement in the game like I do.
mint adder
Personally i am not saying agreements should not be allowed, anything allowed by game mechanics is allowed, i just find them funny
supple sail
I am all fer more nodes. I am also all fer a way to remove any player from a mine, wether its thru destruction or other means. I totally disagree with a lobie being able to grief and sit all day on a mine because the game protects them from the consequences.
I am truly looking forward to getting home and playing tonight. With the concurrent events people are talking about it should help a lot with conjestion. If everyone even sends just 2 ships mining and one to hunt hostiles it would open a lot of nodes fer dailies.
Personally I just want to set one ship mining fer the dailies and send 2 hunting as I find that much more enjoyable.
hollow helm
The latest event is just terrible or at least it is for me. The bar is set too high for even the first two tiers and the prizes are mediocre for the amount of effort and repair rss used.

Plus the 6 hours a day earning them
Does anybody here still have valentines hearts for event store?

Had 3 people quit as soon as new event showed up with no store
And thats just from 1 alliance...

You can spend the trophy's now
dapper drum
No you can't
They won't let you because last event you couldn't, so now people have thousands saved up
They would lose money selling packs for people who need the rss
Players are dropping out of the game like flies in a vacuum because of their greed tactics
latent peak
Yes you can
And yes i agree that scopely's greedy tactics destroy the game, lost lot of players too because of it
dapper drum
That is not the event store
Those few recruits are not worth the 3m trit and 300k dil

You cry about trophy what can't be spend, now you say event store, decide mate what you want
real bluff
@dapper drum can spend on epic chests

Can get those recruits for free daily

It's still better than nothing and with that rafine rates every uc is like a present from our scopely masters 😜

Its not going to stop the game from hemorrhaging players

No but its a small step in right direction

No different then the faction event, the recruits were not worth the RSS and time, its only good for new players.

Bet we get more reason to quit play tomorrow when the new cooler looks glitch everything
Faction event was ok, this one is going to give me the uc ore needed for lv27 so it's not bad, i can do 2k points in 2x kumari run

How can Scopely be so out of touch on the Tritanium issue?....
Just did the math. All the repair speed up aside, at lvl 26 my cost to participate in the event is 400k tritanium PER DAY in repair costs... That is after the tritanium rewarded.
So to get the 30 uc g3 gas per day (which is what I really need), I need to spend 400k tritanium.
Now I know why so many people quit in the 26-28 range....
frozen abyss
how strong is your Kumari?
tawny coyote
@steep stream I agree with you. I know the game need to be hard but they make it hard and costly. Plus you have the mining event at the same time. So which one do you complete.
steep stream
@frozen abyss I am running a 315k tier 4 Payflower
Attacking lvl 30 Klingon Interceptors
Unfortunately I need another 500 uncommon g3 gas and millions of tritanium to get it up to tier 5.
So ultimately I am just going to skip out on the event and go back to more data mining and working my faction dailies.
frozen abyss
mayflower's bonus against Klingons is only against other players' Klingon ships, not hostiles.
I'm doing the event with a 250k Kumari, and it's fast and cheap
steep stream
Attacking level 30s?
frozen abyss
30-31
steep stream
Ok, good to know. Thanks.
If I can ever scrounge up some excess tritanium I will go back to leveling my Kumari (which of course probably means never 😛 )
modern estuary
i can kill 31s with my 186k kumari
im only ops 25 barely too havent even upgraded the research to 25 yet. also getting horizon bp drops more frequently too and i havent even unlocked it yet
they are greedy though vit
sharp ibex
need to learn to scroll down first before responding to old stuff 😉
however, noone forces you to buy
modern estuary
would love the see a drop in kehra bp drop rate in favour of more repair speed ups
i like most players are very unlikely to build a second kehra as they are garbage
steep stream
@frozen abyss thanks for the feedback. Mine isn't as high as yours, but definitely getting better results with the Kumari. Sad that it works that way that it is better than a ship almost 100k stronger...
halcyon briar
the mayflower is notoriously bad at hostile farming, and explorers in general are worse at hostile farming than battleships or interceptors
devout talon
I can do at level 25 all solo milestons with 1run and half, so it's very to do even if you do not want to use any speed up
the last milestone also makes me go even on trit repairs, so it's overall balanced enough
rapid sky
well if someone thinks it's unbalanced there could be several options:
- They rushed their OPS level, not keeping their ships up to date
- They are using the wrong ship/crew
- They just leveled up their OPs and didn't yet get the appropriate ship for their level (24 and Kumari is one good example of that)
devout talon
I know, but people don't like to hear when they are wrong 😉
rapid sky
well scopely should really do something about that 3rd option
dapper drum
I am maxed on 25 and kumari is 345k, can do 75 lvl 29s per repair and need to repair second time at almost half dead, overall costing 200k trit and 25k dil, now do that 3x a day, the rewards only cover half the costs
devout talon
something feels off, at 25 I can do ~60x29 kills before repairs with a 250k ship, you should have a lot more hull
dapper drum
Its a mix of 29/30
devout talon
and the solo event gives 200k trit in total, so that is not an issue
dapper drum
Still a loss even if i stick to only 29s
devout talon
a loss of what exactly?
devout talon
even if it was a 50k loss per cycle, it's relatively negligible at this level
the event before was a massive sink compared because it was faction hostiles, this one is a lot easier
devout talon
there is also uncommons and common mats + thropies, might not be huge but certainly not nothing and it's helping a lot of lower levels.
I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but if you are looking for something specifically tailored for your needs, you won't get it and it's a bit unrealistic
28 ships are horrible in terms of spawn, I'm farming explorers on Xerxes and it's mostly 29-30.
Systems with mostly level 28 are mixed so I often find interceptors and I get slightly more hull dmg per kill even if lower level
dapper drum
Im not going to spend 4 hours waiting for 28s to spawn
Im using javaid livis and arix fighting explorers
rapid sky
@dapper drum start by swapping your crew to Cadet Uhura(captain)/Spock/Chen
devout talon
I don't know if this helps in terms of efficiency, but I did just now 50kills and this is the hull I have left
rapid sky
and focus on killing the lower levels, if you have some alliance members level 26/27 try coordinating with them so they kill the 30s while you kill the 28/29, then it's easier to spwan
heck I'm suffering from the reverse problem... not enough 30s unless there's a couple of 24/25 killing the 28s 😄
dapper drum
That is such a waste of time, this has to be done 3x a day, atleast last one was 225 hostiles once a day
You can't justify scopley rewards for higher levels no matter how you want to look at it
rapid sky
you don't have to do anything, I only do 2 a day
devout talon
same, the only reason I'm doing all of them is to push up a bit my alliance leaderboard
dapper drum
I did one to see how much i would lose, not doing anymore
Time and effort is complete waste, all they let you use trophies for are for shards you get for free from doing dailies already
rapid sky
lol try the crew I suggested, you'll be able to kill much more... I can kill 74 lvl30s with it and my Kumari is only around 260K
jolly jewel
Check the romulans as they are battleship crew plus research is golden, make sure your research is up to date as you can.

@dapper drum
The event is optional. If it is such a waste of time don't join
