I'm just going by the chart they provided. Crew and ship levels vary. See dealer for details.

everyone is just killing franklins doing the event hahaha

abstract gate
This event is ridiculous I'm a level 30 with strong battle ships and this event is game over for me, now before I hear that it's a new event, and the Franklin requires grinding, yes yes I agree but you should phase your new events to reflect this, they should get progressively harder the longer Franklin been out
oak swallow
Agree 👆
summer basin
False scaling like every time scopely...
another epic fail...
How should I kill level 28 swarm units without a ship that is designed for that and is levelled up...
sleek lark
Have any of you had this but not had rewards?
summer basin
Alliance Event isn’t the problem...
idle stump
We finished it no reward
sleek lark
I’ve still to do last mission from niawillen but why are all the milestones except last complete but no reward
summer basin
We are working on this event right now...
oak swallow
Hmm LVL 33 can't get Franklin as filled shipyard (my fault i know) but impossible to complete with 730k saladin, can just kill 3 lvl 32s barely touch the 35s fail s
chilly venture
@abstract gate the chart in game doesn't indicate whta level swarm you can kill but what max tier you can get depending on your ops level
you need to be ops30 to tier Franklin to 8, and ops32 to get it to tier9. Nothing more, nothing less...
abstract gate
No frequency modulators as rewards? So it's spend or gtfo as usual then...thanks scopely 🖕
chilly venture
Heroic event is doable if you are not too high level without Franklin : ops29 have me killing lv30 for 10 and lv28 for1. Using Sally is still quite a bit trit profitable since the event gives you 2M with all milestones
That is why I remain at ops29, I don't want the surge in difficulty from ops30. No way I could kill lv32 swarm 😭
abstract gate
Yes...gimp your progress in order to be viable in events,...fun and challenging gameplay indeed gg scopely
winged light
@chilly venture what about repair times, how many u can kill with ur saladin?
abstract gate
@chilly venture "Use this table as a rough guide for where your ship should be, given your Operations level:" I don't know about you, but to me that says you should have it at that level to complete events at your level.
I don't know what you read, but it apparently isn't the same thing I read.

@sleek lark @idle stump , need to collect one of your biomaterial dailies to get yourself registered for the alliance event...
abstract gate
Yeah and by their guide I need a t8 Franklin right out the gate...that's millions of frequency modulators...you get a handful per kill and 100k ish from missions
I already finished the Threat from Beyond event. It isn't broken, at least not for me.
chilly venture
@winged light i can kill approx 3 lv30 or 8-9 lv28, so it uses quite a bit of repair. But since I do not use much for normal gameplay I stockpiles quite a bit (850x 30mins). And I will finish tomorrow with the refresh of swarm dailies
rapid sky
well if normal events were still around I could have upgraded my sally and maybe get a shot at it... but alas scopely removed them.... 🤦
marble crane
Fully maxed Franklin... Can only kill 1-2 lvl 35's. Unless someone know of some wonder crew setup ?
sleek lark
@tawdry kindle thanks mate just found that out on another server
abstract gate
They just removed the events today. If you don't have the RSS to upgrade it now, another 2-6 uncommon gas wasn't going to make a difference.
rapid sky
I have enough RSS to upgrade my sally to T4 and some components to T5
but I won't do it without the RSS events...

I'm using max Kirk Spock T'laan
tall horizon
@twilit imp why cant we do the daily faction “spend rss” dailies?? That doesnt have anything to do with swam events
abstract gate
I agree, it seems kinda stupid to remove them, but it isn't as crippling as people are making it out to be. BTW, "can't" and "won't" are two different things.
rapid sky
@tall horizon I think there might be a limit on how many events can exist at a given time, probably someone hardcoded some value 😂
chilly venture
Removal of daily event was uncalled for that's for sure. Should be back in 12h according to Panic so at least they recognized that
upper knot
Swarm ships. Energy or kinetic weapons?
abstract gate
Probably kinetic since they are considered interceptors.

I can kill only 1 lvl30 with my saladin 340k power, what’s urs power? @chilly venture

Even Franklin Tier 9 doesnt allow kill more then two

@low berry true

@chilly venture what about ur crew combination

@low berry that's pathetic, but inline with scopely's policy of releasing p2w explorers that fail hard

They had changed the points... Now it is 1 point for a kill...

I’m sorry if this has been covered but I am curious. In the past during mining events destroying ship and taking their cargo has counted toward the event progress. Is that the case in the mining for franklin blue prints event?
formal jackal
Doesmthe alliance split the awards for the biomineral alliance event or does each individual get the listed award?
abstract gate
@clever vault I have never known the game to give mining credit for farming hostiles. If that were the case that would have made my life a lot easier in past events.
Or taking exposed cargo for that matter...
stuck arch
Threat from beyond event is broken... if you move to another system, kills don’t count, if you move back to the first system you gained points it works again...
clever vault
@abstract gate I’ve seen it for taking cargo a few times, or at least I thought I had
formal jackal
Looks like others are having the same issue with biomineral alliance event
clever vault
How can anyone get enough blue@prints from mining? It seems like it would take 200k 3 * to get the required prints. Or am I missing something?
urban spire
@twilit imp Sorry for the @ but many in our Alliance are not getting the rewards for Alliance Biomineral Collection. Is there some sort of delay? all of us are logging tickets but thought I'd bring it up. We finished the event a couple hours ago.
abstract gate
@clever vault You just need to grind it out. And finish the hostile event. That should get you enough bps to build it.
elder comet
@clever vault 290k for me tho
clever vault
That’s what I was afraid of 🤮
elder comet
you are prolly sub lvl24
abstract gate
I need 360K.
clever vault
Yep I’m a 23
abstract gate
I'm about 1/3 the way there. You have all week to do it.
elder comet
360k is lvl 28+
abstract gate
@urban spire in order to receive alliance rewards members have to have contributed to the point total...they still can by collecting biowatsits in next round of dailys or from some of the new missions
Afaik*
urban spire
@abstract gate that has not been the case in other Alliance wide events. I'm fairly sure.
abstract gate
Always has been
Had it confirmed by a couple of alliance mates who just said 'woah what I get 3k officer recruit tokens for?'
delicate estuary
Always. I remember getting VERY annoyed with a Seps event. I was level 14, could kill level 17 Seps, but didn't have the event so couldn't get the rewards
Because you had to be like, 17 or 18 to earn points
urban spire
@abstract gate Thanks, I'll continue with the ticket in game.
abstract gate
Supports official line has always been contribute or gtfo
Not saying scopely hasn't been known to bork the events though, that's always a strong possibility too
urban spire
What is the point of an alliance if you don't benefit from the work of the whole team.... It is bugged
abstract gate
I like the idea of people having to pull their weight
urban spire
I don't disagree with pulling your own weight either!
However, we have some big hitters that can blast the event in a matter of minutes
abstract gate
What is the point of an alliance if the whole team doesn't work?
urban spire
your point is irrelvant
unless you have a small alliance, so I take that back
I'm fortunate to be in a large one
abstract gate
I'm not spending my trit, dil, lat and speed ups for deadweight...contribute or gtfo
stiff moss
Ha I wasn't able to do anything yet because of time and the event is done
abstract gate
#4 on our server so not small and I'm our biggest hitter
shrewd totem
I love these free kills
stiff moss
I'd be happy to pull weight on alliance events but if they're done before I get a chance to log in
urban spire
Alliance events are designed to benefit the entire alliance, If you feel that way then kick out those that do not contribute. In this case, there was no time to help in our alliance as the big boys finished in in 10 minutes lol. probably timing to when they were done killing.
abstract gate
@stiff moss it's a 6day event if you do your kill 50xlvl15 tommorow you should get rewards
stiff moss
@abstract gate Alliance Biomineral Collection

@urban spire alliance rewards are designed to benefit strongest ally to stay strongest ally

Is there a fix, or acknowledgement of bug?
stiff moss
¯_(ツ)_/¯
shrewd totem
This alliance event is very easy.But rewards are also low
abstract gate
@stiff moss yes that one
stiff moss
Ok; so even though it's ended I should be able to receive rewards when I cross threshold (the standard daily event)?
abstract gate
Yeah was the same with the og alliance hostile hunt event...big boys complete it before you wake up but spank a red and rewards were yours
raw zenith
has anyone else not gotten credit for swarm cluster kills for the event and their dailies?
urban spire
@raw zenith many in our alliance did not get credit for the alliance wide event, log a ticket
raw zenith
mine stopped at 20. i have killed 50 so far
urban spire
if your alliance has completed it
raw zenith
im talking about solo event and my daily
raw zenith
ok
urban spire
sorry to confuse :)(

Did anyone found information about cost individual tier on uss Franklin?
woven crown
I just confirmed that the alliance biomaterial rewards will not appear until you obtain biomaterials yourself. You can get the biomats by finishing the Swarm dailies
Got them all at once
charred prawn
not getting event points for hitting swarms already tried a reboot 😦
urban spire
@woven crown I was just thinking that next time I do one, it may trigger. I had already done the ones I can do after reset last night so didn't contribute so far when the event went active. perhaps it'll trigger tonight after reset.
woven crown
Hopefully yeah, the event will still be active so it should work
urban spire
yea being a 5 day that may be the "trick"
charred prawn
killing swarms in Herias doesn't seem to count against the event so don't go there
north quest
How about making the wvwnt actually give us rss worth it the amount given aint worth the effort
abstract gate
@urban spire so we've all agreed I'm probably right? 👍 😎
Hi all, I am trying to chase down info about regular daily missions and why they are missing now. I saw a glimpse of that in your conversation here, but not all of it. Is this reported to Scopely, is it a bug? Or is this how the situation will be during Swarm event?
@abstract gate check #⭐-official-announcements
Thanks
urban spire
@abstract gate not at all, if doing a swarm daily after next reset works, then it is working as intended. However, the fact remains that some folks are getting rewards for just signing in, without having completed any swarm dailies today.
abstract gate
Stupid, don't know how I missed that. Thanks again! @abstract gate
Np @abstract gate
@urban spire as always scopley screwing the pooch isn't off the table either

I got 45 blueprints cos done the mining one but the pve is not there to get the other 45 ??
granite musk
urban spire
@abstract gate lol SCopely, classically late to the party with any details about what is going on and how to get things...
abstract gate
Too many events at once. Why not wait a week for this Swarm killing stuff?
It’s all hands on deck just to get the blueprints for that ship at the moment.
Many share the same goals.
They actually don’t . Killing Swarms does not help me getting blueprints. They don’t count as hostiles.
abstract gate
Without frequency modulators in the event rewards the events are kinda pointless...upgrading the 3 Franklin weapons at t4 requires 115k modulators each...farming that many would take days possibly weeks depending on your ships. If you don't buy the 100€ upgrade packs there is no way in hell you'll be able to do the heroic solo at higher lvl's.
It's a better disguised cash grab this time around but a cash grab nonetheless
hushed kestrel
@twilit imp I too have lost the ability to gain points from hitting swarm. My game did a client update during the night.
abstract gate
@abstract gate They want you to buy them
wintry elk
Ok, in my testing, non-heroic event gives points everywhere except Herias system. Can anyone else confirm?
fickle chasm
Am I wrong in remembering a Nero Crew config that increased dmg dealt to hostiles?
quasi lion
Has anyone received rewards from the weekly alliance event... Just wondering as it has yet to drop the first 2 rewards to my alliance.
quick seal
@abstract gate At T7 each weapon requires 1.2M modulators.
lapis skiff
@quasi lion to get the rewards you need to contribute to the event
quasi lion
I have ..
rapid sky
actually I got the reward even before I contributed anything to the alliance event
rapid sky
unlike the leaderboard ones, I suppose it's different because it's a normal points based one
wintry elk
You have to get rewards from killing swarms in your dailies to be eligible for the alliance daily
rapid sky
well, my alliance got enough points for the 1st tier before I handed out my daily, I still got the reward
quasi lion
I've almost completed the 1st swam event

Not the event...the swarm daily

Think we can back off those swarm 35 lvl HHP just a tad?
supple haven
So there are 3? officers for this event, and we don't really start with any of them.
rapid sky
there's only jaylah as far as I can see, and her abilities are unknown at this stage
modest oyster
Hopefully increase dmg to swarms
abstract gate
I think a lot miss the point, the franklin is a long term new daily to pass the time.... not a quick fix gimmie everything now toy
steel viper
The franklin 27x damage working?? I checked my battle log and it sure didn’t look like it.
abstract gate
Certainly doesn’t feel like it
supple haven
I saw someone say the math people claim it's not realy 27x, but 2.4
winged tulip
It's just frustrating that we've got a ship we can't really use yet as we need modulators to tier it up, which we can't get in any significant quantity until it's tiered enough to kill high level swarms. Catch 22 with a wallet warrior solution only..
rapid sky
wallet or wait...
abstract gate
In summary this event had issues at launch again... somewhat understandable, then was badly thought out cramming everyone into one sector... less understandable where we all rushed to get BP which you couldn't get until the events came out 24 hours later, fine but if communicated wouldn't have caused server burn out. Then a free ship is possible, but the starting events require you to have a high level Franklin already to do your events at your level? Cash grab, if not why not phase the difficulty for some achievement based on only a 24 hours grind time so far possible and with the stretch to be some spend, literally impossible for me to do the level 32 swarms and would require me to do 150 repairs to do the 150 level 30 kills, im a level 30 with 600k battleships and bave spent 49.99 on the franklin and you know what the event is insanely hard for me, and also another misleading x power boost description on the Franklin start being transparent and using the words x base damage, or the ship isn't performing as expected so another error. This can be a grind I'm fine with grinds but your events require very high Franklin's 24 hours since it came out that's not a grind that's not even a minor investment that's full on spend to be able to compete.
winged tulip
Not really sure that waiting is a solution though. I need something like 22k more modulator parts to get mine to t3, and i can only right now hit lvl24ish mobs with any decent efficiency.
That means one daily for 6k and skipping the heroic threat from beyond event, and it'll be maybe 3-4 days before i can tier it up.
rapid sky
and that's exactly the wait...
I'm in the same boat btw, 24s are the only ones I seem to be able to hit efficiently
and how I have the mission to collect 15K of them 🤦
I'm in no rush, those dailies provide very little value for me
winged tulip
Right now i feel like i need to do anything that rewards uncommon as the refinery still sucks rabid moose wang. So not particularly happy to see myself missing out on the heroic event for a few days..
rapid sky
lol same here, but no choice really
I'm going to try and see if I can somehow kill a lvl30, doubt it
and even if I could it's like 15 repairs/day
winged tulip
i can kill a few (2-4 depending on whether there's any damaged ones to hit) 28s with my vahklas which gets me 1 point each on the heroic event, but i'm not going to get the event finished that way.
chilly anvil
Ok wtf is up. Maxed Franklin. Maxed Kirk crew. Maxed research on explorers for lvl 37. 485,962k load out on ship. I was killed twice on first attack with fresh ship. I have not been able to take down two ships with one hull against lvl 35 swarm. Any idea @twilit imp @barren night
What is the purpose of setting a hero event with 525 pts required?
I’m bleeding in ship repairs. Might get one lvl 35. Might not. Taking in a loaded gladius and centurion just as cannon fodder to knock down one ship enough for Franklin to kill it
Check this. Fresh ship
It hit with 3 crits at about 245k each in 5 rounds
This one was a wounded swarm I had to come back to. Killed me twice
abstract gate
But let's take a little punt on how scope works, people have heavily invested in a ship with bad labelling, someone like Winston has maxed it out and still can't realistically complete his event.... But pin this message people because what do we have waiting..... a mystery officer which will appear shortly and make it possible to actually use your Franklin which you have already maxed out but can't take on the level 35 swarm you need to kill, yes you laid down a few hundred and no it still doesn't do what you need, but for another 200 the officer will be available and make it possible, the stats are a mystery because they can see how badly this is failing for players and op her ability against swarms and most people will buy because well basically if you laid out cash for the Franklin without buying her you just threw it away... watch this space the new officer will address this issue
cosmic rose
I can only see the mining event. Does the PvE event have some other pre-req?
modest oyster
@chilly anvil man that is depressing and makes me glad I haven’t spent a dime on Franklin stuff.
chilly anvil
This was an initial attack with a 970k Gladius. Followed up by 1/2 HHP left of a tier 9 Franklin. Everything maxed out.
Again. I’m lvl 37 research complete on explorers
teal jackal
Wow. That's impressively bad. Try a different crew? That setup isn't the best for pve

Uh good word. “Ouch”
And don’t even think you can take your centurion against lvl 35 swarm. I’m tier 7 and that’s a no chance
Sorry. Tier 8
winged tulip
Any idea what tier i need to get it to to be able to hit lvl30s?
halcyon briar
@chilly anvil did you try tlaan instead of bones?
chilly anvil
30’s and 32’s you can get away with tier 7 I bet. For less than 10-15
@halcyon briar yeah. That was a no go. 20% off 100’s of thousands a hit minus crit. Worthless
They will crit once or twice within first 3 rounds
They have no shields and armor piercing is irrelevant. Your only hope is debuff’s
And debuffing a lvl 35. It’s a rock in the Grand Canyon. At fkn 4M HHP
lament prawn
can @twilit imp or someone else please explain to me the Franklin upgrade packs? specifically why at level 28 i would get 1.2 million modulators but someone who is level 32 gets over 3 million of them for the same price?
The ship costs the same to tier up regardless of level
lapis skiff
Event after event Scopely screws the pooch, giving us a half baked, bug ridden mess. And yet people still rush to throw money at them. Classic Einstein’s Rule of Insanity.
thick mantle
@stone flower I believe players will not get any of the alliance tier rewards until they have earned at least 1 Swarm Biomineral. Being in the alliance isn’t enough. I was getting nothing too then after I earned some Searm Biomineral I got all the alliance rewards the alliance had earned.
elder comet
@chilly anvil it's like always. last one two days they will adjust some things and those 4m npc will be like 1-2m 😄
they never actually test those things. they just release it to get the money lol.

@twilit imp Can we get the faction reputation events turned back on? We're already spending rss on ship repairs and base upgrades so why should we not be able to get the rep along with it?

Thanks. When I first read them, there was no length of time given. It makes more sense to start with new dailies rather than noon (EDT) like most other events.

They just had to make it an explorer didn't they...weakest of the triangle ships and required for event/dailys...just to push repair pack sales no doubt

I couldn't wait

spent 1.5m trit and 150k dil on repairs killing 15 lvl 30's

but that means we lose a days worth @thick pine
unless they are going to double the rewards
rapid sky
lol same here I spent some on upgrading sally, lost about 8M points so not that much of a biggie
and yeah also repair costs will stack up to probably another 5M or so
at least I can now participate in ship event and get some UCs 😄
thick pine
yeah we loose it rip
stone grail
not on really, especially if they gave a timeline of resuming the event
they can't expect us to be happy with losing a days progress
it wasn't a usual scopely "soon"

lol yep... not happy about it either
also upgrading the par generators not to lose too much on that 😄
light ocean
T6 Franklin is a joke
You must fully tier it up to work properly = buy 3 packs
@abstract gate You're spot on 💯

@light ocean you are trying to kill a 1.5 mill swarm with a 178k ship... what result where you expecting?
light ocean
The x 24 effect 😂
winged tulip
Yeah to be fair it's pretty bloody difficult to have any idea of what your franklin can take on at any given tier. Mine is unfortunately sat in the hanger while i farm with my vahklas, as i'm in too high a system to send it anywhere, and to relocate i'd have to recall my miner which has been put into work 24/7 for the acquisition event rewards..
ember bay
how is it even possible to gather enough modules to upgrade without buying anything lol at tier 3 most upgrades need between 22 and 44k modules
winged tulip
Mine's stuck at t2 on 2 weapons - roughly one weapon can be upgraded every 2 days from the lowest daily, which is all i can do with any reasonable efficiency. Really not making it easy to get involved with the new events..
stone grail
especially when the missions take modulators off you as well
winged tulip
Oh yeah i've got a mission that wants 15k too 💩

If i hear one more time this franklin is designed to be a grind it's not...Well when the event description came out, where they showed you an indicahtion of what tier you needed your Franklin to be vs your level, I'm level 30 it showed i needed to be tier 8, events come out and yep if my ship isn't tier 8 or it seems even higher then I can't compete in most of the event, not a grind that's scope telling me day 2 launch of a new ship I need to have got it to tier 8 for it to benefit me😂😂😂 here's a free ship max it out asap though
Phase the god dam events at launch, to reflect a mix of grind and spend no way should my events require me to have made my ship tier 8 maybe 9 in 24 hours or I can't compete, yep we don't have to do these blah blah, that's gonna be a problem soon when you end up with a player base who don't want to do any of the events lol
☝ this..all of this
T8 is gonna be what? 6mil frequency modulators? That's 300€ or 5 weeks grinding hostiles 24/7 🖕 to your "it's a grind"
uneven dove
The content of both augment and swarms is great. How they launch it?.... it only caused people to quit
PVE event, undoable, dailies undoable
Mining , undoable
So spend money or get lost
But fixing unc droprate is something they are not capable of doing
charred prawn
they don't bother fixing the officers unless it costs them money look at how quickly they fixed carol compared to all the other broken officers
ember bay
I dont think it will be long before the UK government pick up on how costly online games are becoming. As it is they are trying to ban loot boxes as its classes as gambling
abstract gate
The dailies the events had to be all hostile targets bumped down by 2 maybe 4 levels per player, to reflect this ship is brand new, not a big f you max it out immediately, then in 4 weeks time when events come up again tweak make the targets a notch higher WHY! Because people would have spent some money on it or time and grind, but NO you have to set the event to the extreme levels so it's unplayable jeez even people who have maxed it level 35 can't get the god dam targets you set because the Franklin can't take them on here is a ship which won't work against the parameters of the event but it's ok it's a long term ship, well then scrap the events and bring them around when the ship can be of use
Then we will hear how we look at numbers and we will tweak don't tell me scope didn't know the ship can'tc take on the targets without extreme spend and at the highest levels the Franklin bounces of level 35 swarm it's either a screw you or you literally didn't even fly the Franklin at one of this swarms and you have zero quality control check either way the community is let down again again again
winged tulip
Yeah i could kill 26 hostiles with my vahklas till i've got the franklin tiered up properly, doing 28/30s is near impossible and certainly uneconomic
abstract gate
At lvl31 with a tier4 Franklin I can't compete at all...my 430k saladin would need 150 runs to complete the heroic...🖕
I luck out a bit because I have gone down the battleship route but my 618k Lego can hit one level 30 swarm, so that's 150 repairs 12 million trit to try and compete with a ship I have spent a lot but is useless, the Franklin unless I get it high tier 8 or low tier 9 is useless so I have to immediately spend £300
300€ minimum...I'm just guessing at the 6mil frequency modulators...could be more but definitely not less
pastel python
Any word on if the faction daily events are coming back?
abstract gate
Don't worry their crunching the numbers seeing how hard this is, and our mystery officer stats will magically appear to OP the Franklin and save the day... for another £200 😂
Probably in 6hrs @pastel python when they usually reset
pastel python
@abstract gate hope so
heady walrus
I really hope they adjust the lvl 28 requirements
abstract gate
Panic announced a 12hr pause but as they are 24hr events they are still paused kinda
heady walrus
without faction ship its not doable
pastel python
@heady walrus I'm 28 too and I agree
abstract gate
Lvl30+ requirements aren't doable at all
pastel python
It does irk me a bit at how easy it is for a level 18 to get the Franklin. Meanwhile to get the same level of ship I have to jump through a lot more hoops.
heady walrus
one lvl increase and it goes from doable with some determination... to impossible without sacrificing my job 😂
pastel python
Yup
abstract gate
Another content rollout and another steaming turd on the doorsteps of scopely's customers
pastel python
Why do we keep putting up with it?
heady walrus
regular reason for people sticking with it is usually a decent alliance with players people get on with
heard numerous people in our alliance say they would have uninstalled if it wasnt for daily banter
pastel python
I think the core gameplay is good. It's just all the other stuff is so poorly communicated and implemented. They don't seem to have a good beta testing process.
Then again I don't know how you do betas of a mobile game. I guess if it's just server side stuff they could enable a switch in settings for beta test players.
thick pine
we are the beta testers :p
charred prawn
alpha testers 😛
hoary carbon
you guys have no idea lol
charred prawn
I need at least 1 million modulators to upgrade the franklin to get it to a point where it could do my dailies
pastel python
Wow
thick pine
the grind will be insane to reach that many from small ships + dailies
rich cedar
Do'able dailies give 8k
Grind another 20k maybe?
That's 35 days of boredom for the million.
Rough guess 😴😴😴😴
thick pine
depends on lvl
at lvl 27 i get 10-12k or so modulators for my 3 dailies
but yeah will take lots of time
also the last of the chain quests give 100k modulators i saw
rich cedar
I'm lvl29, only 2 of the 3 dailies are achievable with a 300k vahk
rich cedar
I'm fed/Klingon. Have a Bortas -wrong triangle
thick pine
b'rel with epic kirk spock and tlaan
wrong yeah but you can manage if the bortas is high enough
dunno exactly how many you can kill tho
how strong it is?
rich cedar
need shipyard 30 or 32 for B'rel
Bortas is 350k so Vahk is better with right crew
thick pine
i need 8 lvl 28 for my highest swarm daily, can kill 1 with my kumi or i can w8 and kill the ones ppl leave with half hp or so
ye vahklas for you then
what crew you using on vahklas?
rich cedar
can do 3/4 28s out of 20 for daily
Using hostile crew , Chen, Moreau Gonzalez. About the best for my research. Edges Pink Kirk crew variants
rich cedar
Will try and feedback...
thick pine
try adding cadet uhura as captain
so cadet uhura as cpt, tlaan and add moreau as a test
rich cedar
Chen cap, Tlaan Moreau gives solid 4 28's
Swarm use Kinetic weapons which explains it.
Will try Uhuru next 👍
winged tulip
@median slate From my perspective it's a bad event even from a cash extraction perspective. I did half the acquisition milestones, and bought a franklin BP pack to finish it. Then found that the missions i'd done along the way requiring modulators meant i couldn't tier it past 2, that i needed a good 6 days worth of dailies just to complete my current mission and get it to t3, that i'd probably need it t5+ to be any better than my vahklas, and the only way to change any of that was to buy the £93 modulator pack. At that point, i don't say oh clever scopely go on, take my money, i say sod this and give up till it's changed.
foggy forge
@twilit imp The biomical collection rewards have not been adding to my inventory. Has anyone else noticed this?
winged tulip
Heh well in that case they're fishing in a pool that's getting shallower by the day. I'd say even the impatient wallet warriors tend to get a bit put off when they buy something, then only after the fact discover they'll have to spend even more to make it useable. The whole nature of the Franklin damage bonus makes it very hard to judge how high it can hit or when it'll be useful, and no one likes throwing money in a bottomless pit.
slim cedar
Is there a 3rd mission sequence after Elona and nia..?!?
raw zenith
I like the biomineral refine. It may not be a huge amount of resources, but its daily and add up. Plus its tokens, so you can stockpile them.
devout talon
yes and no, it's daily but you can get 90 mineral with 2 daily, most people will struggle to do the top one
idle stump
you got a lot from the quests - you wont get much biomineral now
raw zenith
yea, but you dont get full 800 credits for ultra packs either for completing all daily point requirements. You have to save them up. I view them as the same. Plus the dailies give another option to completing your daily point requirement
idle stump
at least we are getitng another way to get res thou 👌
raw zenith
exactly
idle stump
now ive lost 2 levels off my raiding targets
raw zenith
we cant expect them to throw millions in free res at us.
And they may adjust it in the future who knows
idle stump
ofc not - thats what the level 20-22s were for 😋
rapid sky
well it's a bit underwhelming for the level of difficulty, if I want to complete 2 dailies at 28 I need to kill my ship 7 times, so more RSS spent than gained
might get better once I have a Franklin and upgraded it couple of weeks/months in the future since I'm not going to pay a cent for it
idle stump
you and me both mate @rapid sky
raw zenith
i like how ppl complained about having so many events running at the same time, so they remove faction and reg daily events and then ppl complain about that lol
idle stump
i like having loads of events
makes it more interesting
and means everyone isn't doign the same thing at the same time
raw zenith
me too. i love events.
rapid sky
well it's stupid to remove event you gain points for by passively doing stuff
raw zenith
i just want more missions i can complete at my level.
i have loads i cant do because my ships arent strong enough yet or I cannot reach warp distance
rapid sky
if you have a mining event and PVE event at the same time, it's more difficult to complete both (which is probably why it's 7 days instead of the normal 3), but kill off the daily events you win by spending RSS? 🤦
idle stump
yeh I've limited my spending till i get the rep events back
wont be completing the station / research events till its back
12 hours was qutite a few hours ago - <@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> - Any idea on when these might be coming back? waiting to spend some res, need my credits. Looking at over 50% more time already!
abstract gate
I'm waiting for LA to wake up, I think it may reappear at the normal time today but not 100% sure
raw zenith
its 4 am on west coast. they should be up. slackers, lol
idle stump
It warrents an out of hours call to the on call person right?!
raw zenith
on call person, lol
idle stump
oxymoron
raw zenith
they still havent responded to my ticket yesterday where I did not get credit for 30 swarm kills.
that was at 2:47pm EST
so instead of having to kill 75 swarm to get max tier i had to kill 105
@abstract gate anychance they are going to remove the 300 "your ship has reached cargo capacity" messages that pop up when you hit max cargo lol
i mean 1 is enough lol
mighty swan
<@&509691205798592532> so the faction rep were delayed 12 hours as of your post around noon est yesturday yet they still arnt in the events page ??? What's up guys n gals?
stray tide
Frank is useless
forest cipher
@twilit imp Still waiting on daily events like faction reputation to unpause. The 12 hours was up a long time ago.
abstract gate
All events were reactivated after 12hrs...faction event however is on a 24hr cycle so it'll most likely be back at it's usual reset time
Patience people lol
shrewd totem
@abstract gate the problem is we need to upgrade our base,ships and do research.All of these would complete the fac event for me
stone grail
plus if they did what they said @abstract gate , we would of had 12 hours left of yesterdays faction daily
idle stump
if it was going to be 24 hours... thats fine, but say 24 hours
dont say 12 hours then it be 24
rapid sky
yeah I really only need 5 minutes to max it 😄
stone grail
same, i just contribute dilli to alliance 😄
spiral forge
its like if some of the event was there just to say : look what you can earn in two mounths 😂 but alliance event and threat form beyound (not teh heroic one) are pretty easy on the other hand
rapid sky
or upgrade one component on the sally 😄
idle stump
you actually have uncommons to do that?!
rapid sky
well probably more because of the pure trit research
I leveled up to 28 when I had enough UC crystal to take the sally to T4
I haven't checked recently but my guess is that I should at least be able to also upgrade one or 2 components once it's there
it's now T3.5 😉
so probably will do one component + research/building today
same tomorrow etc
spiral forge
@rapid sky , mine is T4, if memory is good enough, you need 325+325+425 UC crystal to fully get to tier 5
(cant check cause in repair)
so UC crystal hell is just the begining 😂
rapid sky
yeah I know, but this event gives a nice amount of UC crystal 😃
plus I'll probably start with the warp engine and cargo bay 😂
idle stump
my cent needs like 400 and sumin gas for like 3 compents
its killing me in uncommon gas
spiral forge
😂 UC kills eveybody ! i guess T6 would be easier stange as it is, cause need rare crystal, and got some in my pockets (but trit costs will be terrible for sure)
spiral forge
of course if UC wasnt hell, there will be too much difference between player at the same lvl
thick pine
any1 have one up to T9 ?
spiral forge
@thick pine : ill check
thick pine
sweet
spiral forge
oh my f god! its 100 rare for the two weapon. But the best of all : 1800 UC Cry for the impulse engine😰
(100 for the two, in total)
@thick pine
spiral forge
well, i thought it was less needed, i have 30 rare Cry atm,37 r gaz and 75 rare ore
spiral forge
yes, plus i dont improve my kumari since i have saladin (but ill think twice about it since i saw t6 saladin requirements)
or maybe not, cause after it is the intreprid for me, so a battleship too, maybe ill save my rare ore
thick pine
same kumi is T5 needs 1 gun and cargo then tier
waiting for 4.9k fed credits + crystal for shipyard 28 and a lil more ( hope ) to upg sala when ill have her
not rly rushing tho, it's decent at 27 with what i've got atm
need almost 7l rom credits for cent, have 1k uc gas atm for it ( but still have plenty of researches that need gas ! )
abstract gate
Anybody know which buildings give which points in event?
raw zenith
<@&509690795536941056> is Scopely aware of the issue with maps not fully loading, therby you being unable to see mines, planets, bases etc and having to restart?
abstract gate
What has your question to do with events?
raw zenith
@abstract gate have you read half the messages in this channel?
abstract gate
This is a channel about events
raw zenith
thanks hall monitor
abstract gate
Not about general problems
raw zenith
people ask about everything in here.
abstract gate
Weller then they should read EVENT
raw zenith
lol good luck with that
and my question is technically event related since it started happening with this event
abstract gate
Whayeah , and then all is related to events
Why do you not post it then in events feedback
Because it is giving feedback what u do
If all people drive through red lights or jump in a pit , you always follow?
Anybody know which buildings give which points in event?
thick pine
docks and ops gives the most
but that depends on the player level it can vary from 800 to 2k+
at lvl 27 i did a dock and gave me 2.5k points
hangar give the lowest so never consider lvling it during station events
devout talon
remember turrets?
thick pine
those were bugged and didn;t give any points but it;s fixed... but i don;t know how much they give now
rapid sky
turrets are still bugged, as I was leveling one up from 8 to 20 during a station event each seems to give a somewhat random number
and the value doesn't always increase
I think 28 was like 8000 points maybe
raw zenith
i do not post in other channels because this is the only one I read.
raw zenith
And most of my posts are event related lol
meager galleon
The leaderboard makes zero sense
rapid sky
ohh yeah I don't care about leaderboards
but the solos are nice
Kahn shards, rare crystal, lots of trit
meager galleon
First place is extremely weighted above everything else and then they do Gas>Ore>Crystal in rotation
rapid sky
would be nice to also have some dil but can't have it all I guess
meager galleon
I’m gonna get 5th place but I wanted Gas which is at 4th
So I get Crystal only for my time
Why they again neglect event store ?
abstract gate
€€'s
tawdry kindle
Complain, complain, complain 🙄
meager galleon
Compare first place to second, is not even in the same league
rapid sky
yeah I saw that about the top places, but hey I'm 127 and I don't care about leaderboard 😄
meager galleon
I’m 29 and Invested a fair amount of time to get a gas Reward off leaderboard
I’d take 10 UC Gas over 30 Crystal currently but I can’t drop down to where the next set of Gas is on leaderboard
Nor can I get 4th because he and 3rd compete for the 3rd spot day and night
So likely guy in 4th doesn’t even need the gas
abstract gate
Agreed it's really dumb the way the rewards in pb are laid out
rapid sky
leaderboard are usually pretty poor value for time+"money" spent
meager galleon
Hmm I’d tend to disagree - they have been going on a downward slope though
rapid sky
of course if you have unlimited of either or both, by all means go for them, I don't 😃
meager galleon
Where 1st is so highly weighted
tawdry kindle
Well, yeh, but there are maybe like 4999 other players on the server as well; so them “time investment” on it can be a bit tricky sometimes if you aim for a certain spot... 😉
winged tulip
Looks to me like the only reason #1 on leaderboard rewards are so good is so that they can splash that on the login screens as something that you can 'win' (buy).
meager galleon
Could be
rapid sky
well 1st spot on our server got 1.7B points, that's 50 times what I got... 😮
meager galleon
But compare the top 5 places. It’s odd system for tiering rewards
abstract gate
Hey lookie intrepid bp's...psych!
rapid sky
yeah, and I'm only ops 28 so I won't be able to get in a while anyway 😄
abstract gate
The absence of frequency modulators as rewards shows these events for what they really are...incentives to spend
Every content rollout I feel like Brian
raw zenith
i wish they made leader boards based on your level.
no way to compete with higher levels

A loyalty chest as compensation would've been nice... @twilit imp hint hint
devout talon
so for the limited station event that just passed:
- 26 turrets give ~3200 points
- 27 turrets give ~8000 points
- 27 drydocks give ~2300 points
Hope this helps others plan better, I had to burn a serious amount of steel to win it 😦
delicate estuary
@devout talon are you noticing it was nerfed too?
devout talon
I have no idea, I did not keep track of points in the past, it's already a mess how they are assigned
delicate estuary
I'm lower level, but previously, leveling my turrets the first 20 levels gave me at least a thousand per level
Level 21 and 22 gave just over 500 points
abstract gate
It fluctuates wildly
delicate estuary
Thank the gods I noticed before I overspent to def NOT win the event
devout talon
I just risked it because I saw the 2nd place had no more steam
delicate estuary
I've never seen it below 1k per level, and I've had it up to 1700 for some
Blew my mind so much I reinstalled to level another, same result

@ember bay you'll have to try the 30s...
probably with 2 ships
which will make it 30 repairs, maybe less

Lol that's pathetic...gg scopely 🖕
lilac glade
@chilly anvil Thank you sir. I was trying to figure out why my T9 maxed Franklin won’t take at least one in a run several times in a row. I was wondering if we need order to do that but there is no way to get her soooo.....
Sorry need Jaylah
chilly anvil
Best config I can find, max explorer research at lvl 37. T9 and that’s the yield.
I was running max Kirk, Spock, Bomes. Tried Tlann but that didn’t work as well, but tried again and it is a better crew config. I guess first few times was just bad luck with her. I did two runs this morning after Picard mentioned it. I got two out of the deal because swarm didn’t crit shot me
abstract gate
Have you tried decius? Getting better results with him vs 32's than t'lann (using sally because screw spending to upgrade another one trick pony)
Only 400% spock and 60% kirk atm and decius is lvl5 (6% i think)

At 500k I doubt it could take the 32's I need for 10pt kills

No thats the 35's
supple haven
30s if you can

I can finish it sooner because when I do event it also counts in dailies
supple haven
I just don't like the grindy requirements, lack of modulators in the event rewards, and no way to get Jaylah

And I thought getting 100 unc ore was a big problem
I dont thimk I can get to lvl 30 with this refinery
abstract gate
You gotta work the events to your favour...only promote officers when there's 2 officer events up and if one is a lb only if you can place top 3 preferably 1st...etc
Also ops lvl is way less important than ship strength at uneven lvl's always pause to get your ships viable for next event bracket before pushing ops to an even number
shrewd totem
I need 1k fac credit to promote officers first
Yep.I do that.
I have 240k kum for lvl 24-25
abstract gate
Officers are important but it's worth gimping them until you can max a double event or a solo plus lb double

Damm...you should've read fed channel #payflowersucks

How about adding to the build Franklin event not only to spend ship XP but to earn XP through combat.

@elder comet @devout talon more info here too Research / Combat & Station.. (free to copy whatever you need) https://star-trek-fleet-command.fandom.com/wiki/Research
shrewd totem
Do you have power increase in there? @thorn dragon
thorn dragon
nope, noticed that those (research) pages were blank at his link though.. is why I shared the Wiki Research Link ✌
supple haven
I just want Jaylah, cause yeahhhhhh
elder comet
I am just after power increase that's why i started spreadsheet 😄
it helps smaller ones to plan leaderboard events
thorn dragon
np then, just checking as noticed they were blank as I mentioned, maybe delete them then... 😉
shrewd totem
@thorn dragon let me talk with a friend.We have a spread sheet of some power increases from buildings and reseaches
Can you add it if he allows it?
finite berry
thorn dragon
@shrewd totem not really sure, isn't it too variable? like from Scopely changes to other variations?
but if you think people would want it, it's fine.. I am happy to add what the 'Community' wants.. it is a Wiki afterall 
ember bay
@finite berry you would be better to contact support via the game so your issue is logged
viral girder
I seem to be a bit lost. In the Franklin pve you have an option to get points from killing lvl27 swarms, only problem is...no 27 systems. Am I missing something, other than the fact there are no lvl 27 systems?
rustic geyser
does the franklin's special ability multiplier actually work?
hollow oriole
its up for debate warwager, im seeing people claim that there is a decimal point issue. say the franklin has a 24x multiplier, but the actual dmg dealt is only adding up to 2.4x
no reply yet which number is wrong
eager hill
@hollow oriole I see abt 10x damage not 24 with my fresh Franklin. there seems to be coding error rather than decimal mistake
hollow oriole
quite possible, i dont have it yet myself to say either way, only going from discussions ive seen by others
eager hill
and by 10x I mean camparing fights against same strength swarm and non swarm hostiles
upbeat sparrow
Stay right there. Help is on the way 😉
uneven dove
Probably the 24 is only when you maxed the ship
hearty eagle
No. I got a tier 8 one. Multiplier is 145
thorn karma
I've finished the swarm mission where you hit 40x and 20x swarms in Redmond system (Can't remember mission name) and the story line has stopped there. Is there another system to pickup the story again or should it have continued and my game has bugged?
thorn karma
Ok thanks, they intermixed as earnt ship before finishing that story line
Stuck until I get shipyard 30 then
hearty eagle
It depends. I finished storyline before ship was available 😃
You could up your ship until T7 then
thorn karma
Yeah, slowly working on it
hearty eagle
T8 is with shipyard 30. T9 with Astro lvl 32. I m stuck here
Each mission give you a piece for the ship
Or you could buy it I think
hollow oriole
Going from 25 to 26, how big of a difference do events scale up?
slender frost
quite a bit
for the event at 26, i need 9000 pts (20pt targets are lvl 30s) and the mining event requires 2.9mil pts
hollow oriole
t5
elder comet
so over 230k
hollow oriole
yea, im still getting a few levels of xp, but already over 230k
elder comet
no problem with that than. you just have to kill lvl30 npc as 26/27 and that is easy wutg such power
hollow oriole
nodnod
elder comet
you just need 205 uc gas for unlock horizon research and some other for buildings
hollow oriole
hm
well, still have some research i want to do first, but guess ill head to 26 soon then
slender frost
there are a few other research items before you can get horizon that costs uncommon mats too
elder comet
yeah also better rewards on events then
hollow oriole
yea
elder comet
yup 40 each before but those you should have with 25 already
hollow oriole
have some unc, but def not a stockpile
ore is the lowest atm since was upgrading kumari
elder comet
horizon mainly needs crystal and bit gas
hollow oriole
tons of gas but crystal is pretty low too
elder comet
same for me tho 😄
hollow oriole
i skipped the valklas, so not really much sink for gas
elder comet
vahklas needs crystal as well unfortunately
hollow oriole
arent exporers gas and ore?
elder comet
main gas
hollow oriole
yea
elder comet
and i don't want them. yet there are sooo many gas nodes
hollow oriole
lol
elder comet
maybe half that much crystal nodes -.-
hollow oriole
ore seems to be the less common
chilly dune
Any free to play player have finish the mission "lost in translation" with 577k swarms hostile to kill :/
elder comet
nope not yet 😄
but you can with ~270k kumari
decius will be helpful if you have him
chilly dune
OK, i have 315k kumari, i test it now 😅
hollow oriole
tbh id think a beefy kehra would be better, least it isnt on the wrong end of the combat triangle
hollow oriole
my kehra at 190k can eat the 360k swarms for snacks
chilly dune
elder comet
lol with random crew even 😄
chilly dune
HOT 😄
hollow oriole
Oh sure, I just wanted to see how high up my kehra could hit
hollow oriole
Yup, bet if I hit it a few times and got some lucky crits I'd take it
summer abyss
I agree with that. You were so close.
hollow oriole
I feel like people underestimate the kehra
summer abyss
I did before I saw that pic

@glad coral How? I see nothing that shows this ship
glad coral
You have to complete the missions, sorry I forgot where they started.

Aug mission? What level are you? I’m stuck on the BB missions because I’m not a level 30 so I can’t get the rare plutonium
@glad coral
glad coral
Sorry. Busy. I'm level 31. It wasn't in faction space.

Cool, thanks. So I guess it’s for lvl 30s and higher

Dark matter from the augment missions, right?

I think that's where I got it.

As I recall I got some dark matter from the augment intro missions

Yeah Dark matter comes from Augment missions. You need to give some to Khan for the missions.

fickle chasm
Beginning to think this game doesn’t believe in spawning even numbered hostile lvls
30s are scarce.
Lvl 29 killed spawns 2 lvl 31
eager hill
I have seen a strange thing fighting swarms. They seem to have 3 kinetic weapons. third weapon on lvl 24 swarm fires every 12 rounds and its damage is 6x that of other two weapons. can someone confirm this?
true seal
ahh, I had noticed it and was frustrated but hadn't considered a second weapon that charges every 12 rounds. Didn't even down on me that it was an even number when I know the normal kinetic fire on the odd rounds..
eager hill
@true seal I guess now we should try to kill them before the 12 round
craggy leaf
Why are you taking 12 rounds to kill swarms?
true seal
Because I am a lowly level 18. I did manage to rearrange some officers to give up some health to get more attack and been killing level 19s in 11 rounds now, but level 20 took 14 rounds and left me for dead. most of my research was Interceptor based because the Turas sucks. So having to catch up on Explorer research to benefit the Franklin which is now my most highest Strength and it is only 25K
scenic cloud
Pro tip, Franklin makes a great base defence ship.
Mine is 179 at base, absorbed all of a 500k Sally hit in the one shot the Sally had and Franky kept on shooting.
Blue Spock as Capt with purple Kirk and blue bones works best for me.
peak bay
Can someone tell me why i do not see PvE event with Franklin blueprints as a reward? I see only mining event. I'm lvl 17, R&D 17, shipyard 16.
scenic cloud
You need that shipyard done to see it
sharp ibex
it says playerlevel 17, not shipyard 17, you should be able to collect, but you cannot build it yet until your shipyard has the right level
@peak bay gimme your playerid in private
knotty garden
@peak bay same here no pve for me I done mining one got 45bps but no PVE one I am level 18 when started event now level 19 still nothing
😔
scenic cloud
So my only question would be what level were you at when the event actually started It could be it 17 at beginning of event?
peak bay
I was 16, but if evend would depend on starting Ops lvl, then we should not see mining one too.
@knotty garden write to @sharp ibex, give him your accound id on priv
sharp ibex
done already
sharp ibex
not sure about the last part of your hope
devout talon
@scenic cloud could you post screenshot of that defense battle?
I'm very curious because the ship has quite a decent hull
peak bay
@sharp ibex i know what you mean, but only then it would be fair
devout talon
Thanks
glossy steppe
I can't even start pve, I'm level 23. My highest ship is 108k. Pve starts out with lvl22 swarm@1 pt.and 114k ships I believe
There is no way for me to get the extra BP's
rapid sky
for the weekly pve you can kill ANY ship
hushed belfry
Is today another Threat from beyond/threat from beyond heroic day? Or do we get a break from grinding swarm?
rapid sky
it's everyday 😉
although today it shows that a 2-day threat from beyond event starts, so I guess we'll see what that brings
hushed belfry
thats unfortunate
hopefully its double the time for the same thing then so it can be a leisurely weekend of killing swarm
rapid sky
you know you don't have to do it, right?
hushed belfry
nah, not an option... need uc too badly, that if its available gotta get it
rapid sky
lol
hushed belfry
Would sure be nice if they refreshed hostiles in systems... Azati on our server has been full of only lvl 35 explos for the last 24 hours because nobody is killing them/people are only killing the 33/34's
@sharp ibex if refreshing hostiles is something that could happen regularly please put in a word that server 27 could use a hand haha
hushed belfry
Had to phone a friend to clear it, but maybe something that can happen in the future ✌
rapid sky
I think they do, sometimes you see an NPC "warp out"
unless you actually looked at the system for 24hrs, how do you know others didn't come and kill those lower level NPCs?
hushed belfry
well, I spent a lot of time yesterday flying around trying to kill 32/33 neutral explos, and that system was 35's all day, and then again 35's all this morning
so you're right, there was an 8 hour window while I was sleeping that its possible someone killed all the 35's and then killed all the 33/34's
pulsar hound
@hushed belfry try Januu
hushed belfry
Yeah I've been bouncing there as well, it was all 34 interceptors for a long time haha
I was getting so aggravated yesterday... My only option was to kill higher level than I wanted or faction ships and efficiency went out the window, which with 3.5 hours in repairs sucks
hushed belfry
yep.. only get 24 30 mins/day I think, and used all my lat on the thousands of commons for faction ships haha
rapid sky
lol should get better... I saved up for when I level up to 28 and until I can properly tier my sally
so still have about 300+ hrs 😃
low berry
Any idea what today will be served for LB??
hushed belfry
I hope you like sloppy joes, they made them extra sloppy
abstract gate
With significantly less joe too
In fact lets be honest here this whole rollout was 100% sloppy
abstract gate
24hr lb and 48hr solos? Tf you smokin' scopely?
Same milestones and rewards for solos...is this an error?
No point @ing panic so <@&509691205798592532> could you look into this? Seems...off
severe bridge
@abstract gate not saying it makes sense but it matches the schedule from splash screen
abstract gate
Dumb af to have double the duration and same damm rewards and milestones
devout talon
it's kinda good for me, the best ship I have is a kumari and considering the disadvantage I'll split the farming in two days so it will match dailies.
i.e. 60 kills today, 60 tomorrow
teal jackal
Twice as long to do the same amount? Fine with me. Less speedups to use.
barren night
@abstract gate it is on the schedule. But will see if they will triple the reqs??
abstract gate
Fine by me and my t8 franklin...quadruple em and throw in uc crystal as rewards
barren night
Naw -100 UC
sharp ibex
@abstract gate I can tell you, noone touched my stash ! 😃
devout talon
not if you want to do the heroic one 😃
since I have to kill level 26 anyway I'll just do it at the same time
upbeat sparrow
Come to Colorado, the stash here is mountainous
Shovel it into the back of your pickup until the rearview mirror is blocked, then take it home for a backyard bonfire. 😍
Can that be considered an event for discussion?
sonic belfry
Question, what’s the best crew to put in the franklin to work the storyline mission?
I have to kill the 65k zenith. My Frankie is only 28k
upbeat sparrow
The Franklin is rated to hit Swarm with over 20x the attack power. But there have been some who say it isn't so.
sonic belfry
Mine died going up against the 65k.
I’ll throw it against him again, “cannon fodder away!”
hybrid sigil
its not 20x
here is the explanation i got from support.
Hi there,
The Franklin's bonus damage will be applied to your ship's base stats. It will be treated as a percentage (Ex: x24 is +2400% etc.) including research and will not be literally x24 or x30 as shown on the details of the ship. Rest assured that these bonuses are applied and are working correctly.
Should you have any other concerns, do message us again anytime.
Have a good one,
John
Scopely Support Team
maybe this should go in FAQs
<@&509691205798592532>
shrewd totem
Looks like Scopley made solo events for 2 days
abstract gate
Yeah with same milestones and rewards...idiots
halcyon briar
@abstract gate I guess they anticipated the "this is too hard/mathematically impossible" crowd and automatically made the event easier mid way through 🤣
abstract gate
Finished heroic in 20m8ns and regular 10 mins after that...currently 2nd on lb...dunno what people are complaining about, raise the milestones and increase the rewards...drive those sales scopely! 😋
Current lb after 3hrs...
shrewd totem
Agreed
But there are lots of people who lvled up too fast
I cant finish the events as fast as you can.But still it only takes 4 trips to complete both events(also swarm dailies)
It was 9 trips before I found the right crew
raw zenith
Why is the hostile event a 2 day event roadway when it’s same requirements as the past two 24 hour events?
So essentially there will be no event tomorrow for me
shrewd totem
<@&509691205798592532> do you have any idea why it is 2 day?
And we still get the same rewards
abstract gate
Asked and answered (sarcastically and unsatisfactorily but answered)
Weekend and shit-o-clock in L.A. so nothing will be done anyway
barren night
No answer yet.

@knotty garden have you gotten any word from CS yet on the missing event? I haven't, and still no PvE event. I have 45 Franklin BPs and now can't get more...
brave kayak
Just curious. Someone told me $100 pack I have in store (1.2m modules) will get Franklin to t6.5. Can it kill 26s and/or 28s at that level?
slender frost
mines only t5 with that pack. its at lvl 22 with about 98k and can kill 26s
it can kill 11 full 26s before repair
brave kayak
Thank you! I came across a Reddit also saying t6 still cannot kill swarm level 28s. I was trying to decide if $100 for a Franklin was better than say the monthly $100 pack because you get extra rss forever (via dailies, with work). Sounds like it will get you more dailies, but not all of them. Makes me wonder if better to invest in other ships instead... repairs are more expensive and take longer though.
I am trying to be a cheapskate! 😉
simple spear
With no $$ it will take a few events to make it remotely usable.
Hopefully they increase the amount of frequency mods that drop from swarm and dailies.
knotty garden
@cosmic rose no it's getting stupid now this absolute joke
There not arsed
Don't give two shits about there customers
cosmic rose
<@&509691205798592532> what can I do to get the missing PvE event for Franklin BPs to show up. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, clearing cache, clearing localization, installing on another device. I've completed the mining event but now I'm stuck at 45 BPs. I've reached out to CS via in game message, email and Reddit post with no response for a few days.
knotty garden
Same but you will get no joy I have done same
barren night
@cosmic rose can you send me your player ID please.
knotty garden
@barren night he already sent it to another mod plus I have haswell ??
cosmic rose
@barren night yea, I'll dm it
icy forge
@barren night same problem with me
No PvE event...seems, they made it start from the 1st day and in case u r late with ur upgrade to 17 lvl, u have no chance to participate...dedinitely, it's a coding bug...cuz i upgraded to 17 lvl sexond day before mining event started and what? I got it and succesfully acheived 45 bps in 26hours...
barren night
If you have already submitted it then it has been forwarded
icy forge
And what should I do next? Go to the shop and purchase a pack? That's not an excuse for that...we r not asking them to give as 45 bps 4 free, but an opportunity to pass the PvE event for other 45bps...It's all about fair opportunities for all players
I submitted via HelpDesk...no reponse. Sure will hear nothing from them till the end of the event on 24 July
These bugs kinda discouraging for playing :(
P.S sent them approx 5 screenshots
barren night
It is a big. They have been trying to track it down. That’s all the more I know
icy forge
Happy to hear they are aware, bht what if they launch it for us on the last day of event? Even spending all my 2,5k lathinium i might not be able to reach 6k points
Ok, will see...but, to tell the truth, I no more hope I will see USS Franklin in my garage
Btw, i also reinstalled the game, cleared cache, localization, danced with tambourine around the fire...nothing 😅
winter ivy
I got my Franklin and killing swarms

Great

My lvl 28 Franklin can kill lvl 24 but not lvl26 which is 359k, impossible to do!
cloud grail
My issue is that the Franklin is useless for me unless I fork out cash. I'm left to use my regular ships.
Because I am that of a higher level I need to buy frequency modulators from the store because there is no way I can grind 1m frequency modulators to catch up with my other ships.
However I have no issue doing the events themselves.
I simply have a ship to work on for a month maybe 2 😁😁
fading glade
What's the next mission after the protocol mission. What system is the next quest line?
languid cove
Pretty silly to give 4K modulators for a daily when you need 12k for 1 component on tier 2

@winter ivy you must not have something right. i have a lvl22 Franklin that can kill 11-12 undamaged 26s before repairing
winter ivy
@slender frostlet me check my Franklin ship, lvl 28 vs. 26

So, my franklin is at tier 2. I’ve just killed somewhere between 250 and 300 lvl 20 swarms to get the conduit for the warp drive. Has anyone else managed to get this item from grinding? If so so, how long did it take because it still hasn’t dropped for me!
