raw zenith
#

a lvl 24 swarm vs lvl 24 reg hostile is a big difference

tight bolt
#

yep...for 1 point

#

6000 lvl 24 miners...

raw zenith
#

and lvl 26 reg hostile is 20 points. 96 kills total to reach my max number of points required

tight bolt
#

lvl 28 is 20 points

steep stream
#

Oh thank god!

#

Thank you for pointing that out

raw zenith
#

lol i just realized it myself

#

this will be done before tonight

tight bolt
#

no system provides enough miners to even try and compensate for the requirements to make it easy

raw zenith
#

miners?

tight bolt
#

easy kills not on the triangle

raw zenith
#

yea. ill stick to red triangles they are plentiful

uneven dove
#

Only 300 level 28 kills to make at level 24 πŸ˜‚

tight bolt
#

only

uneven dove
#

Or 1900 level 27

tight bolt
#

with waht lvl ships?

uneven dove
#

Uhm mine are 133 NS and 109 vaklas

tight bolt
#

ouch

uneven dove
#

So not powerfull enough

tight bolt
#

you are gonna struggle more than me

elder comet
#

Have to kill 450 lvl30

jovial goblet
#

F-k you devs. I literally don't have the resources or repair time to kill enough ships (let alone the high level 20 point ships). I already can't accomplish faction dailies for the same reason. Just goes to show this game is geared towards the p2w crowd who can drop a few hundred buying and upgrading ships. I've bought a few packs in the past before i knew what a greedy pos company this was but no more.

uneven dove
#

Just checked i need 10 million trit , 1.5 million dill, 2000 3* envoy parts and a lot of gas to upgrade my 130k NS

tight bolt
#

quit the ns while u still can lol

uneven dove
#

So based on my server i would say never gonna happen

tight bolt
#

not worth it

#

its only use is to open up far out systems

#

or to die when going augment space

uneven dove
#

I can almost upgrade my vaklas

#

Only need 55 gas uncommen

tight bolt
#

do it....or wait till u open kumari

#

its worth way more and its warp is far better

uneven dove
#

Well kumari is way off tbh

tight bolt
#

i thought it was....

raw zenith
#

ns is good higher you tier and its repair costs are minimal compared to other ships

uneven dove
#

Why can’t i pay for the uncommon with latinum

tight bolt
#

cos thats the way its designed

#

if it was all available to be done with lat ships would be easily built quickly

uneven dove
#

And people would keep playing the game

tight bolt
#

yep

#

but people would advance to quickly though

#

over powered ships at low levels

uneven dove
#

Currently it is two slow

tight bolt
#

its freaky seeing a lvl 19 with a 55k jelly as it is

uneven dove
#

That could be solved by linking upgrade to base levels

tight bolt
#

yep, refine rates sucks

#

or a lvl 20 with a 300k ns

uneven dove
#

So NS tier 4 requires shipyard 22

#

Kumari tier 3 requires 26

tight bolt
#

back when it first cam out it didnt

#

ns was open to all

#

kumari teri 3 reqires 26?

uneven dove
#

No, currently not

#

But in that way you keep bases and ships more alligned

tight bolt
#

true

uneven dove
#

And also the other way around

tight bolt
#

but means missons would have to be lowered

uneven dove
#

Ops 25 requires kumari

#

Yes they once increased missions

#

They can also reduce

tight bolt
#

im sitting on a dozen kill missons with 300k enemy ships

#

with only a 179k kumari...not possible

uneven dove
#

Hear hear

#

I have like 12 missions to complete for when i have a 300-400k ships

tight bolt
#

the games stagnated for most non payers right now

uneven dove
#

I have a mission to donatie 1 million DIL

#

In ever had more then 350

tight bolt
#

yeah i have that

#

and ive one for 4mill

uneven dove
#

And nobody to raid it from

tight bolt
#

well as from today no i cant either

uneven dove
#

They should multiple warehouse and vault by 10

#

And let the generator be more part of the generating of resources

tight bolt
#

the generator should be continuos...

#

no cap

#

refine rates sould be increased by least 10% or more

#

make it more sensible

#

revert the pvp lvls back

#

least the non payers stand a little better chance of suceeding

manic crow
#

πŸ‘

#

These are great ideas!

uneven dove
#

They should limit the higher pvp levels

#

Why can a level 33 with a 500k enterprise **** my base

#

Not even a dent in the ship with my maxed defense

#

Don’t come here with the β€œyou can shield”

halcyon briar
#

Well, you can. Also a lvl 33 can't have an enterprise πŸ˜‰

tight bolt
#

lol true

#

lvl 33 shouldnt be able to poach under lvl 26?

#

or is that still not the case

uneven dove
#

My mistake

#

He wasn’t 36 yet and didn’t have an enterpise yet.

limpid haven
#

Is the event gir lvl5-14 already active?

modern estuary
#

anyone know what Jaylah's officer bonus are?

abstract gate
#

we wont know until she's unlocked, confirmed yesterday that it's working as intended

cloud grail
#

Ouch, working as intended.

severe bridge
#

I think their timeline is a bit off since, at least in my server, the Franklin events didn’t start til today.

#

Pry helps their bottom line to shorten the build event or have it closer to the swarm attacking events so that more feel pressured to buy the Franklin.

shrewd totem
#

You will probably have extra time

severe bridge
#

And we’ll probably have a bonus refinery after the mining event.

#

Not

shrewd totem
#

Maybe we will have a bonus refinery like in AoW part 2

charred prawn
#

I doubt we'll get extra time

shrewd totem
#

Kill certain amount of swarms to have a bonus refinery

#

@charred prawn if your event started late then yes.You should have an extra time.Also what does time in events show now?

charred prawn
#

6d22h so a day short

shrewd totem
#

Nope.That is correct time

charred prawn
#

check the times above and what APAC got that's 8 days

shrewd totem
#

It is also 6h 22mins in APAC

charred prawn
#

yeh but you started a day early

shrewd totem
#

We got only PvE event early

#

Mining started today

charred prawn
#

all of ours started today

shrewd totem
#

They always test in APAC first

abstract gate
#

you got 7 days to do two events that should take 2-3 days

#

at a leisurely pace

charred prawn
#

they don't give APAC longer events though like they have here

thin heart
#

Not 2-3 for all people...

shrewd totem
#

He is point is APAC got it 1 day earlier

thin heart
#

People get shot off mines during war..

Some peoples ships need UC to be efficient at the level they're at

charred prawn
#

I hate to think how many speed ups I'd burn through to do it in 2-3 days

#

mining should be no problem but the PVE no chance

thin heart
#

Some people dont have loads of time to sit and spend on herd

#

Here*

shrewd totem
#

@charred prawn how powerful is your ships and what lvl are you?

charred prawn
#

310k at 29

thin heart
#

26 vally and Kumari are at approx 200k each.. ops27 has 3d left and I'm now saving UC for next Kumari upgrades

shrewd totem
#

Your ship power is a little low

charred prawn
#

yeh cos I need 280 uncommons to lvl

#

I get maybe 6 a day

shrewd totem
#

@thin heart dont upgrade your ops during an event

thin heart
#

The UC requirements for research, builds and ships is outrageous

shrewd totem
#

@charred prawn how many 32s you can kill in a trip?

thin heart
#

Ops27 shouldnt change my event

#

Only 2i

#

28*

shrewd totem
#

Ohh yea.Sorry

charred prawn
#

4-500 points is about 17 repairs

#

to complete event

thin heart
#

Not hitting 28 until I have all sala BPs haha

charred prawn
#

and if I wanna keep advancing every single research and building now takes uncommon

shrewd totem
#

@charred prawn you get 30 points each trip?So 2 lvl 32 kill?

charred prawn
#

nah 400 to 500 points 20-25 so 17 full repairs of 4 hours

thin heart
#

I can do the PvE over 7 days if I'm smart about it..

The mining is my worry.. 45k g3 per day during an alliance war

#

πŸ˜•

#

I'm gonna mine trit also though as suggested

shrewd totem
#

@thin heart mine trit for 3 days with 3 envoys

thin heart
#

Yeah on it already.. πŸ‘ŒπŸΌthanks

shrewd totem
#

πŸ––

uneven dove
#

800k in 3 days with 3 envoys is 90k a day

shrewd totem
#

@charred prawn so you need 15 trips to complete event?

charred prawn
#

its the same reqs as 28 and I doubt many 28s are running around with a 300k+ ship

#

nah about 17

shrewd totem
#

It can be done in a week

charred prawn
#

event is 7200 points

#

not saying it can't just pointing out 2-3 days is not which is what phil said

uneven dove
#

15 hours of mining a day for 3 days πŸ˜‚

shrewd totem
#

@uneven dove mining is easy

charred prawn
#

2-3 days at a leisurely pace it isn't

uneven dove
#

So every 2,5 hours i need to empty ship to prevent it getting killed

shrewd totem
#

You can complete it in 72 hours(68 hours for repairs) withour sleeping

uneven dove
#

I have a job todo

shrewd totem
#

@uneven dove you wont get killed if you are on a trit node in deep space(25k nodes)

charred prawn
#

that's kinda exactly my point it isn't 2-3 days at a leisurely pace

uneven dove
#

On our server you do get killed

#

Overflow => die

thin heart
#

Nope 7 days is a push.. when you take away work, sleep, life and study

shrewd totem
#

@uneven dove no rules?

charred prawn
#

yeh some servers are utterly brutal

thin heart
#

My server is the same.. excess = kaboom

#

People are greedy haha

shrewd totem
#

@uneven dove most of our players dont hit for oc trit,par and dil

uneven dove
#

We are Lucky 80% agrees not to kill empty miners

shrewd totem
#

But I do when I am in a war

thin heart
#

Empty miners on mine if node is 0

#

Otherwise its rare

shrewd totem
#

@uneven dove It is 90% in my server

#

@thin heart we have 3 min rule on a zero node

abstract gate
#

Why 3mins?

uneven dove
#

I don’t mind spending 2 weeks to get the Franklin on a normal pace

shrewd totem
#

To see if player is online or not.Or to give enough time to refresh it after the 0 node notification @abstract gate

uneven dove
#

But 2 events in 7 days of which 1 is undoable because i apperently should have leveled my ships more

abstract gate
#

3mins is tight lol

uneven dove
#

For which i would need resources you cannot raid as there is no one to raid it from

shrewd totem
#

I should say notification doesnt work most of the time

uneven dove
#

0 = 0 on hour servers

#

A message must be send but can be after

#

Sniping not forbidden

charred prawn
#

@uneven dove surely you can kill a couple of levels up for the points might be slow but should get you there

shrewd totem
#

We agreed that 3 min warning will be enough to refresh the node

uneven dove
#

I need to kill 300 level 28, 1000 level 27, 3000 level 26 or 6000 level 24/25

shrewd totem
#

How much can you kill in one trip from each lvl?

charred prawn
#

should be doable with a tier 3 valk then

uneven dove
#

I think 5-6 per round

shrewd totem
#

I can kill 10 28s with 150k vahk.So if you have a 150k vahk,then 2 trips a day is enough

uneven dove
#

No only 110

shrewd totem
#

Then kill low lvls

charred prawn
#

yeh it's possible but will burn a lot of time

uneven dove
#

200 a day? I have a life

#

Or 500?

shrewd totem
#

Kill 27s

#

150 a day

#

Or kill 400-500 26s

charred prawn
#

that's a massive time investment

uneven dove
#

It is like the killing sheep in world of warcraft

#

Stupid missions

#

Not giving pleasure

#

The BB was better

#

Easy to get, difficult to level

shrewd totem
#

Lets hope you can get 45 more bps from missions(if they add any new one)

#

Otherwise you have spend hours a day to finish it

#

It isnt a problem for me,because I dont sleep to refresh my node

fierce night
#

@shrewd totem you can kill lvl 28 swarm at 600k with a 150k vahklas?

shrewd totem
#

You dont need to kill swarms

#

Also I have a 230k kum,but still I kill normal hostiles

#

26+ swarms are impossible without Franklin

fierce night
#

@shrewd totem i didnt tealize it was just hostiles. I should have paid more attention. Thanks.

shrewd totem
#

πŸ––

uneven dove
#

My NS is a bit Better

#

Vaklas Indeed only 5

shrewd totem
#

How many 28 hostiles by using NS?

thin heart
#

I give them the time it takes me to fly to a node haha.. then bye bye

uneven dove
#

6

shrewd totem
#

@uneven dove I dont think you have a way to finish PvE event with these ships in an affordable time

uneven dove
#

I agree πŸ˜‚

shrewd totem
#

@uneven dove can you do the new dailies? Maybe you can upgrade your ships with that bonus trit and dil

uneven dove
#

I managed the 50 dailies

#

Haven’t checked the big ones

#

24/26

shrewd totem
#

How about 20?

uneven dove
#

Will do now

shrewd totem
#

Okay.It will help you to have enough trit to upgrade your ships.Also save your rss for kumari

cedar echo
#

@uneven dove Have you tried finding factionless hostiles? And if you did, on a NS hit anything else than an interceptor

shrewd totem
#

@median slate it is 7200 for 28-29s

rapid sky
#

@median slate I can do 1200 points by killing faction 30s in one go, believe me I wish I stayed 27 :)

#

I finished BFG in one go in xerexs.. all 1500 or however much points it was

shrewd totem
#

BFG was the easiest event

rapid sky
#

At 24-27 yep

shrewd totem
#

I think it was 9k for final milestone at lvl 25

tranquil harness
#

So is it just me or were these event mission poorly planned or participation drastically underestimated

shrewd totem
#

@tranquil harness just you

tranquil harness
#

@shrewd totemthanks just checking

shrewd totem
#

Events are good

#

Missions are very bad

tranquil harness
#

I can't get into the systems

shrewd totem
#

Ohh if you meant missions,then yea you arent the only one

tranquil harness
#

They just went live on our server yesterday

rapid sky
#

@median slate it's over a week, 450 NPCs... that's 65/day, not so bad

#

I'd rather that than 360 lvl 32s I have to do...

wind nacelle
#

@rapid sky me too.. With a 260k kumari. πŸ’Έ

elder comet
#

i'd rather 360 32 because you get faction bp then πŸ˜›

barren night
#

The Grind... the ginnnnnnddddddddddd... iiiittttt nnnneeevvveeerrrrr eeeeennnnnddddsssssssssss

zinc flume
#

@tranquil harness you should be able to now

rapid sky
#

you can also get them from 30/31s...

zinc flume
#

I've dropped into and out of andavaris without waiting now

#

(it's destinite)

elder comet
#

nope. you get faction bp by lvl31+

#

not 30 tho

rapid sky
#

31s then.. they are so much easier to kill than 32s πŸ˜„

elder comet
#

you can actually see faction enemies use other ships starting with 31 πŸ˜ƒ

sudden haven
#

Spocey's again out of decency, hitting lvl 32 hstiles to get 20pts... I can't do more then 7/8 fight wih my kumar

#

Fuck you scop'

halcyon briar
#

@sudden haven post your crew

halcyon briar
#

Swap to cadet uhura captain, cadet kirk or instr spock, and grace chen

sudden haven
#

Now i try with thisbut it's a disaster

rapid sky
#

actually Livis might be a good replacement for Kirk/Spock

#

I can kill more 32s with him πŸ˜ƒ

sudden haven
#

Ok i gonnatry, thx for the tips

#

What is it meaning "grade chen" ? I'm Not so familiar with english

halcyon briar
#

Sorry, grace Chen, name was misspelled

dull pagoda
#

Is the x25 boost working for franklin?

#

Maxed tier 3 it’s still hitting at 10k a hit

sudden haven
#

Ah ok. Thx

charred prawn
#

@dull pagoda Rev reckons it's actually a 2.4x boost not 24x

dull pagoda
#

Oh so it’s worthless. Thank you

#

It’ll never be as powerful as an ns or vahk but if you max it out it’ll be close but only against swarm

rapid sky
#

well ship's ability improve at tier/level up

dull pagoda
#

I mean it’s 80k now tier 4 but it’s nothing to write home about

tame inlet
#

At t5 its saying 38 x damage

rapid sky
#

out of shipyard it's probably useless for anyone with a decent vakhlas

dull pagoda
#

It’ll never beat a lvl26

rapid sky
#

@tame inlet also leveled up to 25?

tame inlet
#

Yep

rapid sky
#

hrm ok that's not so exciting then lol

#

but it's also a lot more hull/shield/attack

tame inlet
#

130k....t5....cant kill a lvl26 swarm

rapid sky
#

hrm ok then it sucks

#

πŸ˜„

#

what was the recommendation for ops26 though? T6?

tame inlet
#

Yep....2 packs to build...upgrade pack....mod pack lol

#

I expected a bit more

#

Ill need over a million modulators to get to t6

rapid sky
#

yeah so far the swarm dailies are pretty underwhelming anyway

elder comet
#

you will need 1.2-1.6m per section later πŸ˜„

rapid sky
#

so not going to spend any money on it

elder comet
#

and surprise you can kill half a lvl35 swarm ship at t8 πŸ˜›

tame inlet
#

Killing lvl22 swarm for38 mods a kill

#

Its a long grind lol

rapid sky
#

and all of that for 2M steel/day? πŸ˜„

#

thanks but no thanks πŸ˜ƒ

prisma dove
#

what did you all choose between help jaylah to fight the swarm alone or ask the deferation for help?

rapid sky
#

well help her gives recruit shards, get the fed gives G2 mats, what would you choose? πŸ˜ƒ

prisma dove
#

πŸ‘Œ

uneven dove
#

Well my vaklas does 1 24 swarm, the second kills it

#

My NS does a bit more 3-4 πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ

elder comet
#

recruit shards

#

always. forget those t2 mats πŸ˜„

rapid sky
#

well unless you're below level 20

elder comet
#

hm. still would take the recruit. the t2 mats aren't that much. you get those after a day of refinery. but recruit tokens take way longer

rapid sky
#

well, maybe, if it was G3 it wouldn't have been an easy decision to make

eternal vapor
#

So how do you kill a level 32 swarm that is 1.4 mill power with a ship that is 295K? This just doesn’t look like an event anyone can do. Stupid crap they always make the events too difficult to compete.

rapid sky
#

same as you kill a 2.6M seperatist boss with a 400K ship

eternal vapor
#

It doesn’t work at all. BS.

elder comet
#

you can kill about 8 32s with t8 franklin

halcyon briar
#

First, make sure your Franklin is fully leveled so it does max damage. Then make sure your crew isn't butt

void frigate
#

thats to much ur asking for @halcyon briar

low berry
#

How many packages did you bought to have tier 8

abstract gate
#

Does anyone know how the required Event Scores are calculated? We got lvl 26 Players that require between 2250 and 9000 points for the PVE max reward.

elder comet
#

9k pts at 26/27 is 450 30s

abstract gate
#

Yeah, but why is the required score (insanely) different?

elder comet
#

@low berry dunno at least 4 packs or so a mate in my ally

pastel python
#

so is the general consensus that the Franklin is underwhelming, the daily rewards are so so, and the grind is awful?

elder comet
#

basically franklin is worse than bb

pastel python
#

woof

#

at least that mines data well...

halcyon briar
#

@abstract gate because hostiles get exponentially harder into higher levels

pastel python
#

the difference between a level 30 and level 32 non-faction hostile is pretty nuts. I wish I hadn't gone to level 28.

elder comet
#

almost double in strength πŸ˜›

pastel python
#

also the lack of level 32 non-faction hostiles hurts

rapid sky
#

yep, there's that as well

#

in last BFG I just went and killed faction ones anyway because xerexs was buggy/full etc.

pastel python
#

ugh, this sucks. the lower level people in my alliance are saying "yup, completed the PVE event already!"

#

blech

rapid sky
#

must be the really low levels then?

halcyon briar
#

Or strong for their level

rapid sky
#

yeah but 24-27 is still killing 100s of NPCs

#

sure it's doable if you started when the event went out and didn't put your phone away lol

halcyon briar
#

True

#

Lol

rapid sky
#

then again, rewards are better for higher levels, franklin bps is just a small bonus on the side

#

and hey, I have a week to complete it whenever I have time πŸ˜ƒ

#

I'll need 19 runs with my Kumi 😦

halcyon briar
#

Yea, decent uncommons lol

elder comet
#

@pastel python but see the positive side. chance of dropping faction bp

rapid sky
#

well whatever you get from the chests is usually pretty decent

#

officer XP, some relo tokens, horizon BPs

#

some well needed 3* IC parts for my sally πŸ˜„

halcyon briar
#

If I can stick exclusively to lvl 32-33 battleships, about 7 runs for me. But usually I've got to kill some 34s or traders too depending on the system I'm in

#

Since only the rom system feeds me those battleships and my fed rep is already 1m higher than rom πŸ˜”πŸ˜”

rapid sky
#

well for me 31s are the problem... they aren't as efficient πŸ˜‚

halcyon briar
#

Lol

rapid sky
#

I can kill 19 lvl32s in one run with Livis in the 3rd seat

halcyon briar
#

Yea ive been doing these events in lvl 33 systems since I got my Saladin, id rather inefficiency kill 34s for 20 points than inefficiently kill 31s

rapid sky
#

need to double check again spock or kirk but pretty sure they are less effective

#

well there's 3 systems in klingon space with non-faction BS

halcyon briar
#

What I need is a fed system with lvl 32-34 battleships

#

So I can grind that rep down a little, getting dangerously close to 5m

#

I can do the lvl 33 system with explorers, but halves my kills per repair

rapid sky
#

lol that's a different kind of problem then

#

no traders?

halcyon briar
#

Not in a lvl 33 system

#

Fed space is off compared to rom/kling levels

rapid sky
#

do they really have to be 33 though?

#

I would think even lower levels traders would be more efficient to lower rep than higher level BS

#

lvl35 bs is -544, 33 is -342, 31 tarder is -816

halcyon briar
#

They are! But I can't double dip doing the event that way

#

Lol

rapid sky
#

lol

abstract gate
#

what crew is the best with franklin against the swarm.

#

?

halcyon briar
#

Probably cadet uhura, cadet kirk, tlaan

#

Depending

rapid sky
#

well on my Vakhlas against 28 I used bosses crew... it was more efficient

abstract gate
#

not kirk,spock,uhura...or the energy wappen crew....cadett uhura, chen, teacher spock?

rapid sky
#

I'm guessing it's more a factor of ratio between your ship and what you kill

halcyon briar
#

Yea, cadet crew If your Franklin is strong enough to "farm" them

#

Kirk spock if you're trying to kill one's much stronger

rapid sky
#

or Nero/Kumak if your shield anyway doesn't get depleted

#

since explorers have high shield πŸ˜„

halcyon briar
#

Yep

#

I should try Nero, only did tlaan to test kinetic vs energy with Chen

rapid sky
#

yeah t'laan/Nero/Kumak(cpt)

#

it works well since they have a lot of hull and no shield, similar to the bosses

halcyon briar
#

Yea

abstract gate
#

hmmm, enterprise...or cadett uhura, teacher spock, chen or tlaan?

halcyon briar
#

Chen does nothing vs them

#

So definitely tlaan in either case

#

Which level swarm and how strong is your Franklin?

dull pagoda
#

Interceptors are kinetic yeah, Chen does nothing

abstract gate
#

have t8

#

ok, seems that cadett uhura, teacher spock and tlan are better then kirk,spock, uhura?

halcyon briar
#

Unless you are trying to kill a level 35 swarm probably yes

abstract gate
#

need 34, but i test 32

pastel python
#

I've been doing Nero/Livis/Chen on my Kumari for hostile farming

#

actually Nero/Vemet/Chen

rapid sky
#

vemet is useless

#

Livis & Chen are decent, Nero for hostile farming is an interesting choice

pastel python
#

works well against explorers

rapid sky
#

well I'd say try cadet Uhura in the captain seat instead of Nero and compare

#

also depends on what hostiles though πŸ˜ƒ

Chen’s officer ability does nothing to the swarm but her captain ability is good if she’s in the chair.

how many mission kills required, going for 160 now

Wait wait wait.... Only the pve gives 45 franklin bp's.... Where's the rest?

I for one quite like this new update, it gives the community what they asked for. Another base resource income stream, a ship that you can get as f2p, upgrades possible through effort but those that want to pay can skip the grind.

elder comet
#

anyone got a screenshot of the event timetable/schedule?

elder comet
#

yup. ty

verbal flame
#

Anyone have a list of the hostile ship level range for each player level ie as a 31 I get points from 30-34+

elder comet
#

dunno why they can't put those into official announcements

#

that's easy

ashen pawn
#

that would mean actually communicating with players well scopley doesnt have time for that πŸ˜„

elder comet
#

even number + 1 vs even number +4 for 20pts

#

so lvl20/21 needs to kill 24 for 20pts

@verbal flame

That makes sense thx

The amount of points needed at lvl 27 is dumb. Someone at lvl 29 need less points to finish...why scopely why

pastel python
#

at level 28 I have to kill level 32 ships. it's really painful.

#

I'll have to go roughly 24-32 times for my Kumari.

since there aren't too many systems with non-faction level 32 ships

tranquil inlet
#

I have to kill 450 lvl 30s to hit 9000 points

Doubt it'll make u feel better, but lvl 26 people need 9000 points and hve to kill 450 level 30 ships too

Lvl 28.. Have to kill. Lvl 32 and have to reach 7200 points πŸ‘Ž.. Need to repair kumari after every 8-9 ships. πŸ’Έ

And that is why the event once again is for those who pay, many leave and abandon the game because of this type of injustice.

#

Only pay to win

#

Wins!

#

No free to play no win anything

#

@oblique hatch The Franklin is free-to-play achievable ... not through missions, but instead by doing the events

oblique hatch
#

I continue in the missions and only empty the resources of the players

elfin meteor
#

But being able to do the swarm daily’s that have been added, only one can be done due to the power level of the ship needed not many have.

oblique hatch
#

They never listen or answer Bro is effort in vain I will be putting the catch here

quick sand
#

Not true ... they changed the PVP levels based on feedback ... they made the Franklin F2P based on feedback ... We've seen mining rates, building upgrades, and lots more changed based on feedback ...

quick sand
#

Keep it constructive and they will listen

oblique hatch
#

And while?

quick sand
#

I mean just don't say it sucks ... show why and how it could be better, within reason ... remember, they're not a charity, they're a business, they're there to make money.

oblique hatch
#

To cry to another part hehe

#

I think that for players who do not buy almost real money in these events should put good deals I use pesos not dollars in the region ask to be the offers since I would not stop eating to buy a new ship that is illogical

quick sand
#

This is the wrong place for suggestions ... post where they're listening πŸ˜‰

oblique hatch

That offer is one third of my salary lol

#

It's about the event

#

@quick sand do u know how to get special warp parts for Franklin?

#

For T2, it’s in the event i saw it, but for t3,t4 so on?

quick sand
#

The guys over at LCARS#the-swarm channel were discussing it ... depends on your OPs level

celest prairie
#

Hey how come at 27 I news to score 9k for event but at 29 its only 7200k

alpine yoke
#

@oblique hatch You know the event doesn't require you to kill swarm, yes? You just have to kill level 24 ships, any type

#

And even if the Talla is your strongest ship you're working against the combat triangle because swarm are interceptors. Use your Turas

oblique hatch
#

Or until someone explains well

#

@alpine yoke for Spanish-speaking players is very badly translated that's why the big confusion but thanks to you now I understand better

alpine yoke
#

I understand, Scopely has a lot of issues in English so I very much doubt they did a good job translating either

oblique hatch
#

Now I just need to eliminate 525 level 22 ships that are the ones reached by my level of ships

#

100 per day

#

Gracias bro

alpine yoke
#

Yeah it's about the same for me. I can do about 50 in a run before needing repairs, but my ship level is a bit above normal for my OPs level I think. It's doable though

hey.. .after this week's events.. if we have left over swarm biominerals... do we can to redeem them after this event?

#

or they get stuck in inventory til the next event that uses them

novel fulcrum
#

Anyone know if theres a 3rd swarm mission chain, or just two?

#

Kind of anticlimactic if just two

native dune
#

What power level was your Franklin when it could start to take down level 28s?

lilac glade
#

So I have a quick question. The Biomineral event starts tomorrow but the only place I have gotten them other than missions is in dailies?

#

Are the swarms not going to drop them? I destroyed over 100 today and never saw one biomineral

atomic shore
#

Like the description says it is only obtainable from the daylies (and quests)

lilac glade

And most of us already completed all the quests lol

barren night
#

Timing is awesome !!!

uneven dove
#

So i need to kill 200 ships for one refinement every 4 days

To get 100k of a rss?

Even mining is more easy

our alliance leader saw the event and informed us not to do the dailies until the event started. hopefully the other alliances didnt get the message.

Anybody else find that the uss franklin ship ability isnt working?

@uneven dove It's to waste everyone's time and get people to pay real money for blueprints for a worthless ship that sounds like others have reported doesn't even work, just to get 100K RSS once every day or so.

abstract gate
#

If you can't get teir 4 in all the events don't bother

sour plaza
#

Tbh, a 500k ship for $300 isn’t a bad deal relatively speaking

#

I don’t have one but on paper it seems like you can use it for quiet a bit of things <op28

rapid sky
#

@abstract gate assume there will be more events coming where you'll be able to get BPs if you can't max out the current events, but events are easy enough to do

#

@sour plaza it's not 300$ for a 500K ship, you'll need more than that, still it will be much cheaper than getting even a T1 faction ship to those numbers, the real question is how does it perform compared to MF/Cent

stone grail
#

the franklin has such a low base attack power, i wouldn't imagine it does very well

rapid sky
#

it goes up when tiered

warped stag
#

Pew pew bang

#

Though not all weapons are done at this tier.

charred prawn
#

wow that's pretty bad

devout talon
#

how is it at soaking damage?

warped stag
#

Half, want to try against other ships. As a bench for me to work on.

rapid sky
#

care to post battle logs?

warped stag
#

Need more?

rapid sky
#

nope, I guess the peashooters in the franklin says it all πŸ˜ƒ

#

and 100% spock is just not enough to keep the shield up

warped stag
#

Nope, I tried with a new lineup on swarm, got promising results, my Tlaan and blue guy aint maxed though.

charred prawn
#

how much damage you doing per round?

thick pine
#

odd setup for swarm man

#

go for the classic hostile crew cadet uhura as cpt, cadet kirk + tlaan

warped stag
#

@thick pine did that too, slightly less effect. Bear in mind my officers aren’t maxed so I get different results.

#

@charred prawn I posted log just above, scroll up.

charred prawn
#

yeh was talking against the swarm I don't think the bonus is working as written

rapid sky
#

actually, either morale or burning would do better if you're trying to kill a single hostile

#

but keep t'laan in both cases

#

so either Kirk+Spock or Kumak+Nero

#

actually I guess decius is also an option

#

so Kirk/Spock/T'laan or Kumak/Nero/T'laan or Decius/Nero/T'laan

thick pine
#

how many rounds ?

rapid sky
#

probably a lot πŸ˜„

warped stag
#

Gonna do fresh tests as it was yesterday

#

Brb

thick pine
#

over 30 i think

warped stag
thick pine
#

oh just 11 , that was quick lol

warped stag
#

And close

rapid sky
#

hrm yeah I expected it to be longer, so no decius πŸ˜›

#

but even 100% spock should probably be able to keep enough shield up to win

warped stag
thick pine
#

better ^^

rapid sky
#

yep, but since it's still 11 rounds... probably better instr. spock in the 3rd seat

#

or even Nero

#

no benefit from Kirk

thick pine
#

+15% more dmg? ain;t that gr8?

rapid sky
#

not if it doesn't make the battle shorter

thick pine
#

pea shooter pls :d

rapid sky
#

how much hull they have to begin with @warped stag

warped stag
thick pine
#

keep uhura as cpt

warped stag
#

Yup

rapid sky
#

yeah so each round nero burns you get 180K hull damage... that's huge

thick pine
#

that's nice lol

warped stag
#

Hmm burning crew

rapid sky
#

just swap kirk for Nero

#

so cdt. Uhura captain, t'laan and nero

trim wagon
#

I just reached operation 17 to do this event, but I can only see the mining one not the "kill" event. Anyone have any clue why not?

hard tartan
#

@rapid sky you seem to be sure that the Burning proc removes hull hit points. How do you know?

round turtle
#

In the current pve event I have to kill9k hostiles but 28s and 29s have to kill7200 why I get more

rapid sky
#

testing @hard tartan

#

put Nero on a low level ship and go hit a ship with high hull

#

it works nicely on the separatist bosses because they have pea shooters the first 3 rounds so you get a decent chance of burning before you die πŸ˜‰

hard tartan
#

And then you eyeball the total amount of hull damage taken from the combat overview screen, and compare it to the sum of all hull damages from the combat log?

rapid sky
#

yes

#

you don't really have to do it if you use a high hull target as it's immediately visible that a fortunate can't get 35K hull damage done πŸ˜„

#

@warped stag I tried vakhlas against lvl26, I get 11 with Uhura/Tlaan/Spock and 13 with Uhura/Tlaan/Nero

#

Nero burn makes the battle shorter by 2-3 rounds

#

and that's on a 500K hull NPCs

hard tartan
#

And how many tries did you do with each setup? And was the ship attack bonus the same? 11 vs 13 rounds lies within normal variance.

raw zenith
#

why does data not count in mining events? It is a resource or material

thick pine
#

you mine data like candy

#

with a nice bb

raw zenith
#

true, but put their amount at 1 or 2 points

velvet dawn
#

You could lower the points you geht from it

raw zenith
#

at least then you wouldnt have everyone trying to get 3* and there would be an additional option

#

i mean dil is only worth 5 points and it takes longer than any rss to mine. dil should be 10 points minimum

velvet dawn
#

I mine 4k/h t3 which gets 10 points, my BB can mine twice AS fast right now

#

So 1-5 points for data would be good

tawdry kindle
#

1-5 pointes for data would be good?? πŸ˜‚

A somewhat beefed BB swallows a 30k node in like 15min or so, so probly you have forgotten a coma somewhere... πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹

If at any time they should implement that data would be counting towards a mining event, it should be way less than 1 point, like 0.1 point perhaps, tops....πŸ˜‰

hoary carbon
#

i swallow the 50k node in 15mins

velvet dawn
#

Ah right... Forgot that the mining bonus is lvl based and not Tier based xD

#

my BB is hightier but lowlvl

hollow oriole
#

I'd still love for data to be 1pt

hard tartan
#

@rapid sky Interesting. Tried a North Star with Kirk+Spock+Nero against a lvl 28 swarm.
Swarm hit points: 798720
Total hull damage listed in the combat log: 601084
Combat rounds: 33
Nero procs: 15 (30 combat log lines mentioning Nero, but the combat log always shows 2 identical lines for each proc)

So about 25% of the total damage was not listed in the combat log. That averages to 6k damage per round. That's not enough to be useful on a strong ship (compared to, say, a 20%+ damage buff from Carol), but it certainly makes me wonder what else we don't know about the combat mechanics.

rapid sky
#

well I can mine data at over 100K/hr, I think max is around 200K/hr so even at 1 point it's too much πŸ˜„

hollow oriole
#

Why? Why is 1pt too much when 25+ have to otherwise mine g3 for like 10 hours a day for 7 days. That is just insanity

rapid sky
#

@hard tartan since it appears to be 1 or 2% hull damage, it works best for NPCs with very high hull and little to no shield, the bosses have 3.5M hull which is why it works so well against them, less against swarm ships and even less against normal NPCs

#

and yes other officers might produce better results, I don't have Carol to try

#

@hollow oriole at 25 you need 2.4M points don't you?

hollow oriole
#

Yea

#

Which is almost 9 hours of g3 a day, and it's worse still for higher levels

rapid sky
#

so if you mine data at 120Kish/hr (you should be able to get your BB to the same level as me, and I haven't taken it as far as it goes before rare pluto is needed) that would be 20hrs instead of those 70 πŸ˜‰

#

and it's actually less than 60 in a single fully-tiered envoy with the correct crew

#

I think it's 4370/hr, so roughly 55hrs

#

and you have 3 docks πŸ˜ƒ

hollow oriole
#

I don't see an issue. A 19 in our alliance already finished the mining event because he only needed to mine 500k pts

thick pine
#

half of the *2 spots are empty on most servers even more

#

^^

hollow oriole
#

And mining ability doesn't change between lvl 16 with envoy and 26 with horizon, but event point requirement is 5x higher

rapid sky
#

well as your level goes higher you upgrade your envoy and can get a 2nd one, the rewards at 19 is much lower to those at 25

hollow oriole
#

Level adjusted reward means horse sht when it's an event for unique BPs

raw zenith
#

the amounts are stupid. im 23 and need 2 mil. The amounts shouldnt be set at ridiculous numbers just because you are a higher level. 20+ should be set at 1m.

hollow oriole
#

Thank you John. Exactly

rapid sky
#

it's a normal mining event with bonus of BPs on the side...

thick pine
#

you have 1 week to finish it

hollow oriole
#

I can't build a ship that can mine 2x faster every 2 levels

raw zenith
#

ill finish it but it shouldnt be so high

rapid sky
#

well the increase isn't x2 every 2 levels...

#

22-23 - 2M

#

24-25 2.4M

#

26-27 2.9M

#

28-29 3.6M

raw zenith
#

reg mining event fine, but one you tie to an event and for a ship you will need should be lower

stone grail
#

its to enable f2p people to get a ship

raw zenith
#

they want us to buy. I would be inclined to spend more if they threw us a bone from time to time

rapid sky
#

of course they want you to buy, but you don't have to

stone grail
#

they did say it would be a grind if you did want it free

rapid sky
#

it's the same normal mining event and you have 7 days instead of 3 to complete, when in reality you need less than 2...

stone grail
#

having the option to obtain something for free but grind for it shouldn't be looked at negatively, if you want it quicker, pay for it

#

i'm all for the old scopely bash, don't get me wrong, but i don't see anything wrong with the methods of obtaining the franklin

spiral forge
#

@random : you ve tried nero as captain, cadet uhara and tlaan on the side? Or cadet Uhara as captain (but in that case burning things wont occur)?

stone grail
#

people wanted it for free, now they moan it's too much work

spiral forge
#

@rapid sky

raw zenith
#

im not being negative, i am saying if they threw us a bone from time to time I would be inclined to spend more. But they dont. Other games learned the best way to get people to spend is to occasionally make things easy to get

stone grail
#

you want it quick, but don't want to work for it, but don't want to pay either, hmm

raw zenith
#

your missing the point. Im not just talking about the franklin im talking in general.

#

More people would spend on this game if they did more for the players. Im not saying give everything away. But how about something from time to time.

stone grail
#

you were specifically talking about the franklin though

rapid sky
#

@spiral forge uhura as captain, burning is Nero's officer ability

raw zenith
#

originally yes

stone grail
#

right, well i hadn't realised you went more general

#

in that case, yeah screw em πŸ˜‚

raw zenith
#

i switched, lol

#

my mind is going three different directions

#

not enough coffee to focus

#

i have never played a mobile game for this long

#

but i like it. they just need to reward the ppl that are still here. I mean the alliance rewards for pack purchases are an insult

#

drop $50 and they give your alliance a 5 min speed up

spiral forge
#

@rapid sky ; i cant get it, nero officer hability is 25% chance of burning, and his captain maneuver does increase damage. Is means that the burning thing is working even without using nero captain maneuver?

hoary carbon
#

lots of us have been fighting since beta server lol

#

they listen, but don't make the BEST changes

rapid sky
#

@spiral forge correct

thick pine

#

the speed up to the alliance is a lil bonus

@modest oyster USA the right crew to kill the swarms easier

Can someone with a T1-T4 USS Franklin send me their farming stats compared to the ships they have on hand. I want to compare the tiers and farming stats. That way I can provide constructive data. Specifically, you have to be OK building a spreadsheet showing number of hostiles farmed and aggregate repair costs.

#

Not as concerned with higher tiers because those folks probably have faction ships and can throw their weight around anway

delicate estuary
#

I'm halfway to T4. Would that help?

abstract gate
#

captn - it looks like that franklin does not have any special bonus againsz swarm ships. my t5 granklin is loosing agains lvl 32 swarm ships

#

Yes, that would be helpful.

delicate estuary
#

Dunker, it definitely has something

abstract gate
#

The calculations are not bugged. But may be underpowered relative to ships on hand.

#

So, I'm trying to gain perspective from players on what they are using for alternatives.

delicate estuary
#

I'm getting 12x practical initial damage against Swarm ships vs standard Hostiles of the same level

abstract gate
#

E.g. I have a T7 Centurion and it outperforms a T4 Franklin versus I have a T6 NS and it out performs a T3 Franklin.

#

Yeah, the calculation is from base and not after research

#

So it is additive stacking

#

Which is fine. But it may be underpowered for it to be useful

velvet dawn
#

@abstract gate t4 ist supposed to kill lvl32

#

Is not

abstract gate
#

And yeah, I don't expect a T4 Frank to kill a 32.

velvet dawn
#

There is a list ingame

#

T4 is Designer for lvl 22

#

Designed

abstract gate
#

why do day write that franklin will multiply with 412?

delicate estuary
#

That NS can kill 5 level 24s and breaks on the 6th, The Franklin can't kill 1 (but gets close)

velvet dawn
#

Die DMG is multiplied

#

You need t8-t9 for lvl 32

#

Your defens and HP in your NS is way higher.
And only the DMG oft the Franklin is boosted

delicate estuary
#

Yes, but even with the 12x actual damage boost, you'd think that would make up for the difference in HP and Def to even kill 1

umbral scaffold
#

You can obtain the new ship by completing both events fully. However, I would recommend buying the pack that gives 45 bp, but only one. The rest can be obtained from the events pretty easily, assuming you actively try to complete the milestones.

winged light
#

As being lvl 28, yes I should have T7 Franklin but how can I get in one day?

#

Upgrading to t3 asks 52k frequency module

#

Can u imagine t7 what it will ask?

devout talon
#

money

#

I can imagine that very well

winged light
#

And swarms they don’t drop too much, i can kill only 24-26,

#

With t4 saladin and bortas

#

Each they can kill 25 every turn

devout talon
#

but to be fair, it's the same as it was with Botany Bay.
It's entirely possible to get it F2P but if you want to rush and be on top, spend money.

You either have patience or you spend, that's just the way it's designed

rapid sky
#

To be fair you could complete augment dailies even without a tiered up BB, could be a level difference (I was 24 then, 28 now)

devout talon
#

I've finished the hostile part for BP today, I'll finish mining tomorrow.
It means I'll get the crumbles of this round of event and have it upgraded for the next round

winged light
#

That’s true @rapid sky

devout talon
#

All without spending a cent

rapid sky
#

I have an event that asks me to kill 150 lvl 28 swarm ships, I can kill 3, maybe 4

#

or 15 lvl30 which I can't kill at all

winged light
#

But as far as I can see, especially heroic event can’t be done without Franklin

devout talon
#

Then it means that they used the same system as the Augment event, but tuned it out to force people to spend more

#

:p

shrewd totem
#

I need to do 8-9 trips with a kum to finsh these 2 new events.And it is impossible within a day without speed ups

rapid sky
#

@shrewd totem to be honest that sounds reasonable

shrewd totem
#

9Γ—2.5=22.5 hours

rapid sky
#

of course you will have to spend speedups, that's part of the process πŸ˜ƒ

#

I need 50 trips... that's just insane

shrewd totem
#

I can do it with speed ups,because I need trit and unc

#

Wow.50 trips with faction ship?

rapid sky
#

and that's on top the 3-4 trips I should do to kill the 32s to get the Franklin πŸ˜„

#

I have a sally but it's still a baby, so Vakhlas is probably my best bet

shrewd totem
#

They should have give Franklin in the missions

sour plaza
rapid sky
#

but even if I could increase to 6 per trip, it's still 25 trips/day...

sour plaza
#

Is it not possible to finish the build@event with the single warp component given?

rapid sky
#

so yeah, for me the only way to participate in the 'heroic' event is $$$, buy the franklin and spend probably 200-300 more to upgrade it

#

and that's not going to happen, sorry....

shrewd totem
#

Or spend lots of speed ups and time

rapid sky
#

well I don't think I'll have enough speedups and lat to do it

#

even at 25 trips per day, 3hrs repair each time

shrewd totem
#

75Γ—15

rapid sky
#

but rn it's 50, so 150 hours of speedups per day...

shrewd totem
#

1125 lat

#

Then 150Γ—15=2250 lat

#

For 7 days= 15750

waxen vector
#

My t4 cent can kill 1 32..

rapid sky
#

@shrewd totem well that doesn't include 3-4 trips for normal dailies and PvE event, but yeah it's ridiculous πŸ˜ƒ

winged light
#

In the Heroic event, for lvl 28/29, it’s required to kill 150 lvl 28 swarms or 15 lvl 30, which is beyond impossible. It should be somewhere between 50-75 or less please @twilit imp <@&509690795536941056>

chilly sentinel
#

Has anyone PvP’d with a stronger version of the Franklin? Is it specific to swarms or can it actually be a usable explorer? I have a 300k vahklas but never use it until recently.

rapid sky
#

and it's 30 lat for the 3hr repair one, so actually slightly cheaper but still

shrewd totem
#

Yep.Still impossible

rapid sky
#

(and not to mention RSS πŸ˜„ )

#

I can't recall what my vakhlas costs to repair but I think it's roundabout 80K trit, so 4M trit/day

shrewd totem
#

You dont get the trit as reward?

#

Event gives me more than my repair bill

rapid sky
#

I do, but only half of that

#

and no dil

abstract gate
#

Anyone else missing faction rep daily events? Multiple people from server 15 are missing them.

modern estuary
#

man the even hostiles are too strong for me and im lvl 28 i cannot kill the 30's and can only kill 2 28s at a time

chilly sentinel
#

Rss are renewable. I’m just wondering how it performs outside of swarming battles

rapid sky
#

I get 600K+600K+480K+240K for the heroic event

chilly sentinel
#

I got mine Libert and I’m server 15. Sorry I know that doesn’t help

shrewd totem
#

Low for your lvl

rapid sky
#

normal event is 300+200+160+80

#

so more than half, 2.6M out of 4M

#

no dil πŸ˜ƒ

chilly sentinel
#

Wanted to tier up Sally and thought I might as well get a bunch of modulators too? Two ships for one? Anyone do that?

rapid sky
#

yes you can hit with more than one ship

#

no shield so nothing regenerates

abstract gate
#

Where did the faction daily event go? @twilit imp ...gonna tag <@&509691205798592532> too as panic never responds

shrewd totem
#

@rapid sky I get 1.8m trit from both events

pastel elm
#

Sorry, first wronge chat
The current Schwarm Event is a joke, the requirements are again much too high.
I am lvl 28 and am supposed to kill a swarm ship that is twice as strong as my ships at Lvl 28. So I have to build or buy the Franklin.

Do not buy this ship!

I bought the ship with extension, spent more than 200€ and still can't kill an lvl. 28 swarm ship. My ship is level 5 and Lvl. 25 max. The next level costs again 100€ because you need millions of frequency modulators

idle stump
#

@abstract gate did you get other events ? i dont seem to have any events (apart from those related to swarm) - so station/officer/research/ship xp

wintry tree

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> What happened to these events? They didn’t reset as they should.

tawdry kindle
#

No regular daily events either, like them ship/base/research/officer ones...

wintry tree
#

Nope, those are gone too

shrewd totem

Probably because we have 6 events now

still want the old events ha

i need my credits

some feedback <@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> it would have been nice to be notified before hand that dailies were suspended, and how long they are suspended for. There is a news channel, it should have been added there. I think people would be less mad if they knew before hand.

modern estuary

@twilit imp the events are too hard for most players

#

lvl 30s for me is too hard some of my team have to hit 32s and they cannot kill them

lament prawn
#

need to get the franklin i presume @modern estuary

tawdry kindle
#

@barren night , the heroic event a bit overpowered I think...

1 point for a lvl30 bee, and 10 points for a lvl32 bee.
Need 150 points in total...

Am a lvl31 myself. Franklin nowhere near able to handle them, neither me centurion (not without 50 ish full health repairs)...

modern estuary
#

@lament prawn i have it its crap

lament prawn
#

boooo lol

#

what tier

modern estuary
#

2 at the moment but some of my team have it already at tier 6/7 and it still wont kill lvl 32s

barren night
#

@tawdry kindle That has been noticed and hopefully being addressed

sudden ledge
#

Threat from beyond event should have different tiers for player levels. No way can lower level players compete with higher ones

tawdry kindle
#

πŸ‘πŸΎ

lament prawn
#

rewards arent worth that kind of headache then

abstract gate
#

They laid it all out in a pretty chart and it is in the news. If you want to kill 30s, you need to have it at T8. If you want to kill 32s, you need to have it at T9.

#

@modern estuary

lament prawn
#

and tier 9 will cost you 1000 bucks

modern estuary
#

yeh but it does not factor in player level

lament prawn
#

worth it for 5 interpid bp right?

abstract gate
#

What does that even mean?

hushed belfry
#

what power centurion will kill 1 lvl 30?

modern estuary
#

why run an event when most players have not had time to level it up to tier 9

abstract gate
#

$$$

#

Plain and simple.

charred prawn
#

yeh utter money grab

abstract gate
#

Want to do the event at high levels? Spend money.

modern estuary
#

most player dont think the franklin is worth spending dollars on, tbh id rather spend my money on my faction ships

abstract gate
#

Well, then this event isn't for those players

charred prawn
#

yeh but they cancelled all the other events

abstract gate
#

What other events?

fickle chasm
#

Daily rep events...

#

Just sayin, want folks to spend millions in rss to upgrade a ship, outside of the normal expenditures for upgrades and research... then completely remove the reward system for doing so

abstract gate
#

You mean the daily events that require the same ship that the new events require that you don't want to pay for?

fickle chasm
#

That’s like a soul source of faction creds outside of dailies.

winged tulip
#

Makes no sense to suspend the faction rep dailies, they take zero attention away from the franklin events. You just build one building and do one research and they're done..

hushed belfry
#

Before I ram my 308k centurion into a lvl 30 swarm, can any predict the outcome?

low berry
#

@barren night 375 points Heroic needs 38 swarm clusters lvl 35 to be killed I ask how ?? Franklin Tier 9 will kill it am I right that means this is only for those who pay 600 euros??

abstract gate
#

Oh those events...

fickle chasm
#

If there’s a technical limitation to suspend the faction dailies, I’d get it. Other than that... tough sell for me to understand it

abstract gate
#

They are running two events. One is easy for F2P, one is hard for P2W. They aren't running a damn charity.

#

What more do you want? You get all the same content for free. Just not as much of it.

@All battleships user : destroy all explorer for this event, it's an hidden event

abstract gate
#

LOL wut? If anyone actaully believes that I will be very disappointed in the gullability of mankind.

#

@low berry In essence, yes. The heroic event is for people that pay a bunch of money. The rest of us get the regular event. It has similar rewards though at lower quantities. And it is super easy btw. I already knocked it out.

idle stump

the heroic event is possible without the ship

i am about to hit the third rewrad mark - i dont have the new ship

Again 308k, centurion, lvl 30 swarms, predictions?

You either have some kick ass ships or you are burning repair speedups like a mofo

Don’t understand the Heroic Version what ship you have to have to kill 35 swarm someone any idea ??

A level 35 swarm? Better have a faction explorer or the Franklin tiered way up

abstract gate

Open the news in game. One of the news items lays out what tier your Franklin should be to handle swarm at your ops level.

#

To kill 35s? The chart doesn't go that high. Sucks to be you.

#

T9 is for 32.

maiden socket

Tier 8 Franklin will easily handle 35 swarm
