Lot of people are getting refund for google be cause this ship is a total lie 24x damage is not true
#🏆-event-chat
ember dust
@odd laurel thank you i'll check it latr. Dinner time
supple haven
So no more events for today? Pause until tomorrow?
soft gate
I’m confused, how is it not 24x or whatever damage?
wind arrow
Its % not x. So 24x should be 24 times but its 24%
soft gate
Rudimentary testing would tell you that’s not true. My cannons are all at the same level and have a BASE damage of 169-177 damage and yet they are pumping out 8400 damage.
soft gate
And if anyone is curious, 169-177 x 160%(current cumulative attack bonus vs. hostiles in my current configuration) x 30(the reported damage bonus on my Franklin) = 8112-8496. I swear math is magic or something.
glass mirage
cloud grail
@soft gate you're a mathemagician 😁😁
soft gate
I just wish people would complain about real issues (like the fact that it will take months upon months of heavy grinding for modulators to get the Franklin remotely useful) as opposed to inventing problems that can be easily dispelled by middle school algebra. 😞
cloud grail
Most folks don't do the math anymore, complaining about it is faster, besides they have you to do the math for them. Hahahaha. But I agree.. Grinding for them FMs .. I now have a better understanding of panics evil grin about Grinding for a Franklin.
Or is it appreciation.. you're evil @twilit imp
lunar girder
That’s why I push to complain on the App and google game review. You get better responses there than ingame. They don’t want low ratings
Plus they can’t remove those reviews
untold bolt
Scopely needs to do somehting about the low lvls infesting faction space. There is no reason for a lvl 13 to be mining 3* gas! they are just clogging up the systems and taking away mining space from us who really DO NEED the materials!
merry fulcrum
Simple solution, don't let them get the nodes
Just stay close to the node, and don't let people randomly clear nodes
untold bolt
and how do we do that exactly? can't attack them, and once they have the node, there is nothing we can do
merry fulcrum
Then you'll be good
Most of the times the reason they get a 3* node is because the node was open for a while, or their are a lot of nodes up for grabs
untold bolt
there is a mining event going on right now....there is NO way extra space is available anywhere and the low lvls are mucking up the systems
merry fulcrum
Again, pay attention to nodes then, don't let a empty node stay empty, miners can only move so fast, get something there before it, and your good, key is preventing them from touching the node,
Otherwise they'll be on there for a while, unless you have someone who can do pvp against a level 8
rapid sky
@merry fulcrum so you suggest he watch every system with G3 mines and everytime one opens up he'll do what exactly?
pine slate
Have a miner waiting in a system and look at the nodes that are about to be zero too. Requires some more advanced planning
carmine lily
Have someone with an alt account that keeps it at 14 so they can hit all those 11-17's that think they're immune in g3 space
rapid sky
@pine slate there is no reasonable way to do that... what does nodes reaching 0 have to do with lower lvls mining it?
carmine lily
@rapid sky it's an ROE thing, not everyone observes it.
pine slate
Sorry, I kinda glossed over that part because everyone has that problem. I was proposing something they could do to help get a node reasonably and by themselves. Alliances should have several lower members to help clear the low level zero nodes. But I agree, something needs to stop the level 14s and another change to the PvP. The new PvP ranges are ridiculous.
rapid sky
Any level holding a depleted mine should be cleared lol, with the new pvp range it becomes more difficult to do lol
pine slate
Talk about... I can’t hit 19 anymore but can be hit by a 33? Why... I’m level 23
The previous PvP system was far from perfect but this one is way worse. It’s made the middle way weaker.
rapid sky
Just raid the 20s lol, shouldn't make a huge difference but I agree it makes no sense the way they did it
carmine lily
Middle is virtually impossible now, you could barely raid before, now you can't raid at all, and the 34's are getting desperate and raiding everything they see because no on can get anything anymore.
rapid sky
Why can't a 23 raid a 20?
carmine lily
it's very difficult to raid until you hit mid 24.
vahk and kehra just aren't very good at it.
rapid sky
It's one ops level difference... most don't even upgrade the defense platforms
And sure some might have kehra, just wait for it to be out of the base
carmine lily
it depends on server, on mine defenses are the very first thing everyone upgrades cuz raiders are rampant.
rapid sky
Kumari makes things easier yes, but I woudn't say it's very difficult before it with a tiered up Kehra or Vak
Or NS
carmine lily
NS is the key. if you were lucky enough to get one.
if you don't have that, the other ships just don't cut it. requires very high tiers to be even remotely possible.
rapid sky
It's 20$ to get it if you missed the free option
Ns is still only 1 weapon, I much rather use ships with 3 and proper crew
pine slate
What about f2p players? That’s kinda cutting them out. Kumari in raiding is leagues ahead of the Vahklas and kehra
rapid sky
F2p will need to spend more time on upgrading vak/kehra, mine trit for it if need be
Or wait for next event that gives ns bps
carmine lily
mining is abyssmally slow for all resources, you can't rely on that for major ship upgrades.
It's events, missions, or raiding.
most people made the mistake of doing missions too early, and events often cost more than they give, so we're left with raiding, which has now been made much harder.
for pretty much everyone if the actions of high level players are any indicator.
rapid sky
@carmine lily ship xp/officer xp events are often pretty good on resources, even more so if you can save up and win a leaderboard
and yes I agree mining trit is very slow, but it's just one option to top up your stock
thick pine
try asking your guild for help let them break the bases and you raid
worked very well for me when i was at that level
i gave them targets to bash, they go bash the base and i looted, i just needed to lvl up my envoy, max it as much as i could
eager hill
@soft gate how did you figure out the 160% attack bonus against hostiles?
abstract gate
I am alone to think that Franklin is very weak and very hard to up ???
Without taking packs.
It needs a lot of modulators at t4...
eager hill
@abstract gate correct on both accounts. pay to get a ship was old thing, now it is time for pay to tier (enough to be of any use) ship.
spiral forge
@abstract gate : i think you can have the ship for free, with the actual events. Then you can upgrade it for free too, but il will be very long, cause you ll need modulators, and dailies dont give you much (can only complete the first swarm guard (50 kills) without a high tiered franklin). But it is possible, plus i guess there will be another special events where you can get modulators
abstract gate
i agree but really, it is hard to upgrade for now. so not very interesting in fact.
spiral forge
yeah, it will take ages... plus i dont know if it is really doable. Im actually lvl 29, i'm interested in the swarn dailies, cause it gives you permanent ressources. So il have to kill 10 lvl 30 swarn, and 20 lvl 26. i feel that ill need at least a tier 7 francklin to do so, so ill need like 1.5 million modulators. Without buying pack, i can grind like 5k a day plus 3k for the 50 kills daily. it will take me 150 days...
thick pine
^ Ace have you done all chain quests?
for the swarm
saw the last chain quest gives 100k modulators ( yep not enough but it;s something )
polar pebble
100k isnt even enought to get a single upgrade at t4
rapid sky
It's just about enough to get it to T3 lol
spiral forge
Hi Rhade! yes, its done, and modulatores already in the Franklin!
and its tier 3 indeed
thick pine
then only grind or pay for the modulators
rapid sky
I guess they mighy bring future events with freq modules....
thick pine
how much those 3 dailies give you?
rapid sky
Just wait a month or 2 lol
polar pebble
Grinding will require a lot of killing ships
thick pine
Random you done the whole chain quest?
idle stump
killing 40 28s for the quest thou.......
spiral forge
i think its 3k (50kills) 4k(20) and 5k(10)
thick pine
will be done in time !
polar pebble
I got 2 franklins
thick pine
2? haha
spiral forge
without high level francklin, doint 20 and 10 is painfull
polar pebble
And without buying the mod packs they are useless
thick pine
mine is t3 need like 10k ish for warp and another 10 for cargo bay
will get the 10k from today's 3 swarm dailies
but not counting on it to do jack shit, it's weak at low lvls
still using my kumi for the dailies
polar pebble
Should be using the vak
raw zenith
im lvl 23. i use ns and vak
thick pine
can kill 1 lvl 28 with kumi , but i;m lucky with finding damaged ones
polar pebble
A 300k vak can wipe 450k d3
spiral forge
i can use franklin to kill 50 lvl 15, its ok for that, i can also kills lvl 20 instead and get more materials. Plus its cheaper to repair and dont cost a lot
thick pine
used my franky to kill some for the 50 hostiles
yeah not bad, used epic kirk+ spock + tlaan
it was a little over half damaged and got it repaired in 12 min
ashen pawn
what lvl is your frankin to be able to take them out? mines at t3 atm so quite weak still
thick pine
T3
but i kill lvl 19 ones
for the 50 hostile killings i need to kill lvl 15 or 16, dunno i kill the 19 cause it;s close to my base
brittle sphinx
The ratio of FMs dropped to what's required to build is way off and needs adjusted to a rational balence. If not the ship is a tin can. I mean it's nice how fast and inexpensive repairs are. But no one has time to keep slamming NPCs all day and night. The T3 phasers at 45k FMs each, really? When the best the T3 Frankillin hit ratio is on the L20 swarm dropping a little over 20 FMs each. Well over 50 repairs to do that. And for what? The cost to get anywhere negates the benift.
hazy holly
is there new quest line for modulators after you build up Franklin? and if it is, where should i pick up a quest?
brittle sphinx
If you've completed the first set of missions this will be your next
thick pine
^ there will be plenty of chain quests for swarm after that
until you will hit the lvl 28 require in the second last chain quest
some tips: there will be 2 modulator donations in some of them: 8k one and 15k one
devout talon
It’s painfully slow to get those modulators via dailies. It’s clearly obvious to push pack sales but I wonder if it’s having that effect
Most whales on my server didn’t bother and the few that did already regret it
hazy holly
and any quest line between 18-26 lvl
?
my last quest was in 17-18 lvl swarn systems
worthy dew
@everyone I wonder where i get the franklin warp drives for tier 2 or more.. ?
hazy holly
from leveling up you buldings
thick pine
can any1 post the event pic pls?
hazy holly
there is a quest line 18-22-24-26 lvl...
thick pine
wanna see what tonight's events will be
@hazy holly go to niawillen to continue the chain quest
dunno what lvl is required for those cause i;m 27
check the planet if it has a ! quest available for you
supple haven
@twilit imp When are we getting more Jaylah shards? I was hoping to have atleast the base officer by the of the event...
brittle sphinx
You've done the first, and accepted the other set early on into the first? After that nothing I've seen till 26, other then the ship building mission
quick sand
@brittle sphinx look in Elona ... there is another quest/mission (part 1) chain there
queen finch
The PVE strength of 26+ sucks. I have 200k + ships and can only do the lvl 15 daily. I bought the $50 Franklin pack and will be 10 shy of being able to build it with the mining event which takes fkin forever and I'm finally at the point of thinking this game is a waste of time and money.
exotic plover
Correct
brittle sphinx
@quick sand that must be the start of the second chain. Did those
queen finch
Ive tried them all depending first on the type of enemy, tried various crew configs.
I can kill two 26s then 2h repair. Not worth it
brittle sphinx
I'm finding a stronger deffense on the extra crew is helping alot
queen finch
What does that mean extra crew
thick pine
what ship do you use?
on every ship you using you must use T'laan as officer to reduce their dmg
others can be:" cadet uhura as cpt + cadet kirk + tlaan
as cpt nero + livis + tlaan on battleship
on an explorer: epic kirk + blue spock + tlaan
and so on
depends what ship you suing
queen finch
Have not tried tlaan but have used other ofcrs that mitigate damage.
rapid sky
nero works on any ship...
queen finch
I’ve tried Nero and livid
rapid sky
he's better for the longer battles in situations where your ship can only kill 1-3 NPCs or so
quick sand
@brittle sphinx check #swarm-missions channel on LCARS
queen finch
Why would I waste rss killing 1-3 hostiles? The repair costs are too high.
thick pine
what works for nero on an interceptor or explorer @rapid sky ?
said for bs cause it works on my kumi if i wanna kill lvl 28 ones
extra def from him works good for me
rapid sky
both his abilities, they aren't ship dependant
thick pine
meant for livis
what you using instead of livis, to work alongside nero on other type of ships
Kumak?
rapid sky
yeah livis is only for battleships
Kumak as captain works well, decius, depends on what you want to do I guess
thick pine
well on my 28 hostiles i get 24 rounds
so decius seems to be pretty decent for that many rounds
rapid sky
yeah at 24 rounds he's decent
thick pine
will try him out tomorrow on my kumi against one: nero cpt decius + tlaan
will see how it goes !
supple haven
Anything per rounds really kinda needs to go beyond 3 rounds 😋
raw zenith
Really hope todays 2 day hostile event upped the rewards
atomic shore
No it did not... i cant undestand why they changed the duration to 2 days 🤔
I was happy about the rewards and then they cut in half.
ashen pawn
some people trying to do the heroic without the ship and only a battleships have been struggling.. so maybe its to give them more chance to complete it.
keen ledge
I have completed heroic each time with my Kumi. It's not the best approach, granted, but you can get it done.
I have the Franklin but it's tiny and can't hit those levels.
ivory swan
@twilit imp when will jaylah be unlocked
ashen pawn
I know on my server very few people put in the effort to do it so maybe because not a lot of people are bothering with it the changed it?
raw zenith
If it’s two days they should have upped rewards. Not given same amount
Even up req. I’ll be done with it as is within 45 min once I have time to really play
spiral forge
on the other hand, with two days, you need less speed up repairs and dont need to hurry
hollow oriole
Use your kehra for heroic, it does a fine job
urban spire
They really need to add more ways to get frequency modulators.... under 10k per day from dailies is not enough... and the drops from hostile is pathetic....
swift lotus
@urban spire Agree...
urban spire
at Tier 5, most upgrades need 240k modulators... that's 24 days per upgrade... wtf
the vent tasks don't even give any...
<@&509691205798592532> any word if they are going to address this at least some?
barren night
I hope so!!
peak cave
Try unobtainable
elder comet
@urban spire lol what lvl are you? The lowest daily gives me already 2400
urban spire
@elder comet Ops 27, I have 3 Dailies but can only do 2 which give 2400 each... the 3rd I can't take on 28 swarm even with my 315k kumari...
thick pine
@urban spire you can kill lvl 28 with your kumi
use nero as cpt, livis + tlaan
i can kill 1 with that setup at 285k str kumi
urban spire
@thick pine not worth it if you have to repair after each kill or 2
thick pine
not worth but better than not doing it
also for me it;s worth cause i spend rss to get to 18M rss for the two factions. need those credits!
gotten to the 30M spent several times
but you can ask ppl to leave you a damaged hostile
on my server several guys gave me damaged ones, doing my 8 kills each day
elder comet
@urban spire same lvl27 so why 24 days? 2400 modulators/d x 10days = 24000 modulators where do you come up with 24 days??!
urban spire
@elder comet its 240,000 per upgrade add a zero 😃 and I also made a mistake, the 3 upgrades I'm looking at are 270,000 Modulators...
tame pebble
@twilit imp there is no new mission there
urban spire
@thick pine ah yea rep credits. I need to balance my fed/rom out then maybe
elder comet
lol then it's 100 days for one upgrade with easiest daily 😄

@twilit imp when will Niawillen be fixed?? Game crashes every time I try to enter the system.

@elder comet well, 56.25 if you do the 2 dailies for ~4800 or whatever it is for modulators but who's counting 😉

<@&509691205798592532> I'm super confused about what @twilit imp just posted. There is nothing in the system or planet he mentioned.

don't you know already there is a few days delay of scopely giving us any announcements or news 😉
tall horizon
weary canyon
I do recall there was a mission there. I did it the first day. If the point of the announcement is to ensure people were aware of that mission it might have been worded more clearly. The wording makes it seem like there is new content.
abstract gate
I was expecting something new. The mission chests sent everyone there. Why am I being told to go there again?

@twilit imp is there more missions just added? Or just re-accouncement?

So you are telling me you made an event schedule for only people level 26+.....

@twilit imp has stated he forgot to send that announcement out on friday, nothing new

So, is it actually a new mission or late announcement
Would be nice to have some clarification
light pumice
So is there anything new or not? I just arrived after restarting my phone and nothing new here at Gorvax

swarm are high power numbers but no shields and dies much more easily than you would think

@median slate tried your setup with my kumari at 315k power, cannot take down 2 28 swarm.
And I have an extra slot for crew.

<@&509691205798592532> any news on the missing Franklin acquisition pve event for those that are affected?
urban spire
@pliant stirrup I managed to two ship the lost in translation boss with my call at 135k and kumaro at 319k.
urban spire
*valk not call
thick pine
@urban spire you can easily kill those interceptor ships from the chain quest using the cadet crew + tlaan
especially at 319k kumi ^^
urban spire
Tried that exact setup and it does not work for more than one then you have to repair.
rapid sky
Vakhlas works so nicely for them... I can kill 3-4 of those elite mission swarms in one go lol
urban spire
Ops 27, I just reached that part as well. Have 3 quests that want just ops 28 and now 2 that wants r&d 28. Guess it’s time to move on up.
rapid sky
Last mission needs you to kill 40*lvl28 btw
rapid sky
220K, T6 with no upgrades
thick pine
i stopped at 154k.. started eating ore
wanted to save for my kumi
how is you franky atm random?
urban spire
Now that my kumaro is basically done may add to the vaklhas. But my HO needs some love.
thick pine
same T3
will go to T4 after i finish today;'s dailies
let me check wanted to see!
oh ignore still have a few mor weps to upg :))
rip 45k modulators 1 wep

yeah so the 100K from the last mission is like 2 weapons....

i have 2.. 142k and some T1 just built it but dunno if i'll invest in it
want to save crystal for shipyard 28 !
got 161 uc crystal atm
rapid sky
my 2nd one is 2 days away... will get upgraded to where it starts to want UCs, then only use it for raids I guess
rapid sky
ok, DON'T use gorken/kerla/koth trying to kill the swarm 😄
thick pine
nero crew ftw !
rapid sky
lol yeah but sent the sally with the wrong crew so gave it a try anyway
rapid sky
couldn't even kill one 😄
thick pine
how stronk is it atm?
rapid sky
300K, with Kumak/Nero/T'laan it can kill about 2.5 lvl 30
gusty rose
I use gorkon, kerla, wolten for 28 and lower, 30 and 32, use Spock, Kirk and Decius on salad
sudden depot
T5 Kumari with Cadet Huru (capt), cadet Kirk and T’Lan gets me 11 kills of lvl26 swarm.
rapid sky
hrm my shield only gets depleted at round 17, the NPC dies at 18 or 19 so not much use for shield regen
I need to try Decius instead of Kumak, but stats are much lower and I suspect the battle is too short for it to be effective
gusty rose
Well, it get me 2.2 kills at 32
thick pine
age :)))
rapid sky
I have no need to kill 32s 😄
rapid sky
lol then I hope your sally is much stronger than mine 😂
I only collected ops 28 about 10 days ago
thick pine
raid done ^^
cost me 2 kumi repairs to bash a 667k base 160k vahklas and 172k kumi in it lvl 24 guy 😃
gusty rose
@rapid sky 400% spock
rapid sky
ok well you almost max the bonuses anyway
can you net get attack to 80% while still keeping the other at 90?
replace t'pring with Khan seems the obvious one
also the +stats from kirk is probably not doing much
thick pine
is that max for blues at 6660 str?
gusty rose
Yeah it not maxed , miners great for stats
rapid sky
how many rounds against the 32s btw @gusty rose ?
thick pine
all feds? or split evenly?
gusty rose
4kish
rapid sky
@thick pine split evently
thick pine
kk thx
gusty rose
Just tick @rapid sky I will run a 32
rapid sky
t'pring + stonn fed
gusty rose
Then run again with uhura
rapid sky
well it's not like domitia/helvia looks rom but hey
gusty rose
@rapid sky 17 or 18 rounds depending on rolls
rapid sky
hrm I wonder if decius is really the best option then
assuming you need the shield regen, I'd try some alternatives...
gusty rose
Have tried Khan and uhura.
heady walrus
Why am I not receiving modulators when killing swarms?

@gusty rose I'd say try Nero as captain

@rapid sky with Spock and Kirk either side or?

@gusty rose yep

so slightly better than decius?

Amazing event, during the summer, I was on vacation am never going to have the f... Franklin. That’s the last drop.
It’s been fun... for a while.
ashen pawn
chances are those that miss the event will still get it using daily chests similar to how they did the BB. I doubt they will have players forever unable to get it
shrewd totem
@ashen pawn what daily chests?
@abstract gate it doesnt worth to get Franklin.You cant complete your swarm dailies without dropping some money or grinding a lot of new item to upgrade Franklin
abstract gate
@shrewd totem ok thanks 👍🏻 but really this gets on my nerves 😅
ashen pawn
when the augment event started you were able to pick up so many BP's from a daily chest that appeared on the faction store. Once you had so many it disappeared... so they have the capability to do something similar with the franklin, I doubt that they will leave those who are away and miss this event with no way to get the ship
abstract gate
You can get the ship by paying 21€ which I refuse to do
shrewd totem
But the other rewards in events worth it.I got around 7m trit by completing all
And hundreds of unc
abstract gate
It would habe broken the daily routine... I am bored, can’t complete missions with systems too far away and bosses too strong to defeat. I was really looking forward to this event but there’s no way I can finish and have the ship in time.
Anyway, have fun you guys 👋🏻

@twilit imp when will you guys fix niwalen on our server? We can’t get the mission for the event on for Franklin. Submitted issue with customer service and this has been problematic since the event launch. I spent $120 on the new ship but can’t pursue mission tied to it during event. Feels like a slap on the face as a paying customer
This is on IOs the folks on android at least can pick up the mission
Going in the system disconnects and crashes the game with a coredump
tiny dagger
Still haven't been able to pick up the new missions.... I'm on android
patent vessel
Ah my bad @tiny dagger didn’t know
ashen pawn
wonder if its server related picked them on on both android and iphone on the servers I play in
tiny dagger
I wonder if the second string of missions need to be completed first?

I’m looking for a Warp Regulator. Nowhere to find in a mission and not in the warp pack I already bought.... support only said i should have one.....so I’m stuck
ashen pawn
OutlawZ have you done the Build the USS Franklin ones? Mine is stuck at part 8 at the moment
low coyote
Yes, I did
patent vessel
ashen pawn
then yup you should have one from that I think its part 5 gave me 1
low coyote
It’s lvl 20 now, but I need the regulator for next upgrade and have none
patent vessel
Looks like a malformed url referenced there is a .
low coyote
Only mission I have is upgrade base to lvl 22
ashen pawn
each part gets higher and higher level requirements part 8 needs lvl 30 shipyard for example to complete
abstract gate
@patent vessel Just wanted to drop by and say I've gathered the images you've shared here and would like to submit them internally. If possible, please PM me your PlayerID.
ashen pawn
im only lvl 29 at the moment so I cant get those yet.. you will need to level up more to get them
patent vessel
low coyote
So I have to upgrade base to lvl 22 to continue story?
patent vessel
Malformed url referenced
Extra . In there going no where lol hence connection issue lol
ashen pawn
to upgrade the frankin and get those parts yes... that has nothing to do with the story though and you cant do the 2nd mission chain until lvl 26... and it was hard to finish even at lvl 29.
abstract gate
@patent vessel Again, please send me your PlayerID via PM. 👍
tiny dagger
Have you seen the requirements to thebmission build the franklin? That will tell you what you need. The waro regulstors will cone from there
low coyote
But than I can’t kill necessary daily quest swarms anyone .... bad trap
ashen pawn
I can only kill the first lvl 15 dailys... unless you pump money into it the franklin wont be doing all of those daily's for a while
low coyote
Hmm.... now I’m killing 22 and finish all missions...
ashen pawn
basically its a grind kill the npcs farming the modulators (you will need millions) and keep building your power up. The final boss in the mission chain is over 600k power (though I took it out with my 350k Bortas) I didnt use the franklin at all in the story
low coyote
That’s hard.... so finally it’s a credit Card killing money event..... I have to sell my car for upgrading to the needed level...
Or maybe I should mount the warp parts to my cars engine to pimp it up...😜😬
ashen pawn
not at all there are people lvl 30+ who don't spend a penny... but it is a grind... f2p its above constant grinding working all the events and picking and choosing what you spend precious Uncommon resources on 😃 I pay some not loads and my franklin is T3 (one upgrade away from T4) and it can only just take a couple of lvl 24 swarms out
chilly venture
It looks like the symptoms on niawillen are the exact same as those we had with Zhang on our server for months.
ashen pawn
all those other parts I have are just sat on items waiting form me to farm more modulators to upgrade or buy a pack (and im not buying the pack) 😄
chilly venture
It was ybe holy ground for android users as station s there were all invisible and not targetable 😂
One day out of blue it was corrected without maintenance or app update and it was an incredible free for all of raiding
low coyote
I normally have no problem with spending some money for a good game. But it’s senseless here, cause the packs don’t include the needed parts.... and to upgrade base from 20 to 30 it’s not enough time
Sad... I would have liked to have a full leveled Franklin
Thanks for your help @ashen pawn
ashen pawn
The only people on our server with a maxed out franklin are high 37+ and all spend a lot of money... more a month than I've spent total
low coyote
The only thing they would have to do is make the warp pack a real warp pack where all warp parts are included
ashen pawn
For me buying your way to max takes away part of the game, why kill swarms with the franklin to farm modulators when you have it maxed
low coyote
Exactly
Just for fun... better than annoying killing small players gathering ....
J would only buy the needed parts and collect the rest by hunting
I hate attacking almost unarmed gatherers...
ashen pawn
Yup it would be nice if there were cheaper packs for modulators £100 is to much to justify to me for what you get.
low coyote
Yep... it’s just to have the ability to finish, if you want to pay... would be fair
sharp ibex
personal opinion, make every pack lat based and just charge money for lat packs
then we could spend the lat we gather on those as well
ashen pawn
maybe but then make UC and Modulators etc buyable with Lat 😃
people dont buy packs for lat the buy it for UC
sleek lark
👆 true and my packs don’t do a single upgrade on a faction ship 😳 so the money I do spend I buy officer packs and try and win officer events
idle stump
Yeh explorer pack for example gives 220 uncommon gas, I need 415 per upgrade on this tier, let alone next one, that’s not even close to the amount needed to upgrade
supple haven
I'm still wondering where my Jaylah pack is ;_;
spiral forge
well, i wonder how ppl can have a franklin with 350k power, while you need like 15 millions of modulators to upgrade it to such level : at lvl 29, special pack gives you 1.2 millions of these, do I have to buy 10 packs?
devout talon
more like 4-5
supple haven
2 got me tier 6, I dontthink 4 would get tier 8
spiral forge
@devout talon : 4-5 is still crazy😰
abstract gate
3 got me to tier 8
another 3 needed for tier 9
if i do only my 3 dailies every day (65 x lv32's) it will get me 97,500 fm's per day, so less the 1.07mil in my inventory it's going to take me 92 days to get to t9 😭
devout talon
it is, but I do not see the appeal for it really, since it's a ship with a very narrow scope.
I can still complete all dailies if I wanted at 27 without it, albeit with a lot of effort

I also noticed the phone notication about ship packs in the store, they must be selling not a lot of them 😂

@thick pine yeah, what's your point?
winged tulip
It seems nuts to me to grind for modulator parts just to tier a ship so that you can grind them more effectively. For dual rep people think this daily will be skipped as soon as the events stop..
abstract gate
I've been dual faction since the start, with the franklin/swarm daily i can now do enough in around an hour to get the loyalty token, i don't need to build/research or do the top tier mining/combat ones
shrewd totem
@abstract gate but those mining/combat ones give credits to buy fac ship bps
abstract gate
of course i do them when i can, it's nice to have the option not to HAVE to do them
shrewd totem
I would love if they upgradrd trit/dil amount from refinery.The amount I get is only enough for my repair bills @abstract gate
abstract gate
my repairs are 2/3 of the tri amount excluding the tokens
one good thing about the franklin is it's repair costs
sleek lark
The daily option is good for as @abstract gate said getting the loyalty token for higher level players I can’t remember last time I got one before this event because all builds and research are at a standstill until I have uncommon for my two faction ships which to me is more important to have strong ships than progress in power stats
whole orchid
Well, ships account for a large part of the power stats...
abstract gate
anyone know where is the "CONTAMINATION PROTOCAL"mission is at?
sleek lark
Yes but 850 uncommon for one of my ships is a god bless the refinery gods smile upon me situation plus having to pick and choose events daily ones to participate in for best uncommon is not very enjoyable
So my point is with extra dailies that you don’t get killed by faction hunters and can leave ship in system while you work is a blessing for the token
light tulip
The Heroic biominerals event is physically impossible to get even the lowest tier. Is this a joke?
My top daily gives 90. I have 3 days to get .... 3000?!
devout talon
it's an alliance event, so let's say that on average most alliances are able to complete the bottomw two dailies, that' be 90 mineral per person.
If an alliance on average is 40 active players, that'd be 90x40=3600 each 24h
bit of a joke
fervent isle
Get them with these events also but yeah pretty lame. What I really like is going into the recruiting page and seeing those new tokens I was like cool prob get some from these events looks cool. Nope $100 f u scopely
devout talon
best case if everyone does all 3 dailies, it's 180x40people, 7200 points
light tulip
Not much better but at least not solo

how does the officer event ... work? Where do you get the chards? From Swarms?

@blazing stag recruiting officers

I have trouble fathoming why anyone would buy the swarm pack TBH. I would rather buy a federation pack for the same price. If at least you had new or interesting fed officer I wouldn't mind, but honestly it's the same you already have to high level and one keenser who you don't care about...
At least give us Pike, Marcus, Carol, Harrisson, etc in the swarm summon, now you may see some sales

at least they offer modulators in the alliance event...

ok... i have to recruit as usual officer and with biiiiiiig luck i have a right one and get points? Really?!

tawdry kindle
@polar river @fathom trellis , even worse:
Cuz when you have max shards on an officer, your credits can get lost in limbo...
Like, if you exchange your credits for officer shards, the system still lets you “win” those shards that you’ve already maxed out; hence you’ve been using that credit, but you ain’t getting anything in return for it, cuz you’re already maxed out on that particular officer...
I’m having that of them regular Officers credits atm for instance; am exchanging the 5-chest one (100 credits), to only get maybe 3 shards in total cuz I’m already maxed out on most of them...
chilly venture
Launching it in the evening while most of us already did dailies is a dick move though
abstract gate
@chilly venture agreed
chilly venture
@tawdry kindle it's not lost in limbo, you will get officer xp as a replacement for bps of maxed officers

Since when can you believe the words of support?
"we know the problem and at the moment we're working blablabla"

you can see if you open one chest by one chest. For common officers, you will get 1K xp each time it is a maxed officers. Don't know for others (unc, rare etc), it should be higher

Aren't all the ranked event more or less pay to play ? I don't get why everyone is upset about that ? The packs are crappy so don't buy them. Only top ranks have interesting rewards so it would be heavy cashplayers that would get those either way 😂

Same with the Franklin... "we will let you have a ship.. oh wait you want to upgrade it... insert your card details here" 👀
hollow lodge
i was excited to get the franklin but its underwhelming for regular missions
thin heart
It's a shame as these events would be fun if they weren't trying to charge people the price of a small holiday just to be competitive
Yeah I have the ship but it'll gather dust now until I gather enough regulator parts for it.. by then it'll be worthless.
Tier 3 - 1 gun = 12k parts
Even grinding it would take forever and I'd make better use of that time mining 100000 g3 just to donate for 10 Parsteel 🤣
Slight over exaggeration of the missions.. but that's what my donate ones are starting to look like 🤣
Still though... I can kill @devout talon so I'll keep playing 😋😋💕
hollow lodge
is the franklin good outside of swarm related things?
fresh shadow
Haven't bought a pack to upgrade the Franklin at least i got something to do in the game now as content. Gives me time to farm the 1600 uncommon crystal that's required to tier my saladin, or 900 for valkis and Anteras 500 for shipyard. wait tho there's a special upgrade pack on the Store don't need 23x packs now only 15x £99! Got to love this game.

I wonder how much you need to spend to see those special packs. One time 5€? All 5€? A 20€, 50€, 100€??
This game is so special you even have to buy packs to unlock the option to buy more packs 🤣🤣
candid monolith
I just don't spend money on broken things
elder comet
Same. I could get to lvl27 without anything spent so far
split plover
What a useless "Bonus" in that event. And payers are double tricked, if they're already bought the officers. Genius scoplay😅
light tulip
Only difference is the Swarm pack includes Keenser and doesn't have Arkady (Chekov)
Normal Fed Pack:
5,500 / 500 = 11 * 5 = 55 Fed shards
7,500 / 800 = 9 full Ultra packs = 90 shards
6050 / 150 = 40 full Premium packs = 200 shards
500k more Officer XP
9 more grade 3 uncommon
Swarm Pack:
8,500 / 500 = 17 * 5 = 85 Fed shards
Want to bet you get that missing 30 fed shards within the 290 shards you get from normal fed pack?
You have to REALLY want Keenser to buy Swarm pack
weak sand
The officer recruitment event is broken. None of the officer shards earned in other events count. Had I known that was the case I wouldn't have bothered with those events. That is a tremendous oversight in coding. If not a coding oversight, it is an event description oversight. Either way, bad form, Scopely.
light tulip
Yeah it's just for Shards obtained from when the event timer started today until its completion
static hare
@twilit imp, so where are these new Swarm missions? I’m level 29, I have a ship in Niawillen, and it shows 0 missions available.
light tulip
Yort did you finish all the existing missions?
weak sand
The event shards were earned after the timer started - they didn't count.
light tulip
Then how did you earn them?
weak sand
For example, combat training gave me Gorkon shards - that weren't counted.
static hare
@light tulip I might have. The announcement came out today, so I assumed they added more missions.
weak sand
I got Livis shards from another mission - which also weren't counted.
light tulip
I saw an announcement yesterday for missions 26 and up starting in Nia and I'm still working on that mission line. Getting close
Oooo, interesting now I understand what you mean Unmade
The event only will include getting the shards from the recruitment tab
Shards from missions won't contribute
You either had to have good timing and had a bunch saved up, or spend $. I just used all the ones I saved up yesterday so I'm bummed, but these rewards are worthless anyway so I would not get anything good if I had waited
weak sand
Yep. That's how it works. But the event description says nothing of the sort.
light tulip
Yeah they have this problem with available space in game for describing the event and what doesn't fit in that space can annoy people

@twilit imp I need to get 3,000 Biominerals just to reach the first reward tier. Not enough time to get their with dailies, no missions or events available that reward them. Not even available in the store for me. Thanks Scopely

Just irritating that they have an even that’s impossible. Maybe I can get up to 450 before it ends. Long way from 3,000.
And that’s only if I can collect another 80,000 modulators so I can tier up the Franklin again.
pale kestrel
it's the point spread that makes it a pain. lvl 30 player, no faction ship. no real relevant reason for the poiint gap from one level up/down
tawny coyote
I’m not sure how we supposed to complete the follow. I been doing my daily and some of my teammates have and that all we got.
pale kestrel
@tawny coyote yeah and that event just came up on our server today so any biominerals collected previously don't apply to it.
fathom trellis
and where is the information that swarm dailies will be appearing for another few days? i thought they ended today?
pale kestrel
probably lost along with the supposed continuation mission that panic posted in announcements yesterday
tawny coyote
@pale kestrel that is one of the major problem with this game lack of information. The information is so vague that you not sure what to do. Just the other day I spend money to get to warp50 to find a bunch or empty planets and system you can’t relocate.
static hare
My bad, looks like the Heroic event IS an alliance event. Okay, that makes more sense. We might be able to reach tier 1.

to be fair you shouldnt excuse being smaller for making silly avoidable mistakes
it would be very clear that releasing content before there is details on how to use / earn them is going to cause confusion and questions
shrewd totem
@tawny coyote you need to find a more active alliance
If your alliance gets 620 biominerals a day,then that means you dont have enough players who complete new dailied
tawny coyote
I have at least half of the online now and some are done other more than half way and the number is not moving.
shrewd totem
Maybe refresh your game?
urban spire
@tawny coyote yes, I made a mistake, its biominerals not modulators that count and it is an alliance event, not solo

@shrewd totem I did that an no change. I will keep checking and speaking to my teammates to see how they are doing later tonight. I know I completed my portion.

@tawny coyote maybe a latency in your server

uneven wave
What a joke, 2 events which are useless. Collect swarm biominerals which if you max out the event give you enough shards to open one box, while at the same time there's a recruitment event which is laughable
@real bluff when they say events, they mean buy me
cedar plinth
@twilit imp any idea if they will ever do a recruiting event for other factions?? I'm not friendly with the Federation at all, which gives those who are a massive advantage over me, as they can spend Federation tokens to get Federation packs, which limit the officers to mostly the ones in the event, so I either need to have saved up a butt load of purple and gold recruit tokens, or spend money, where people can trade in for the same effect
light ocean
Yep, 2 new dreadful events
eager hill
God that biomineral alliance event seems unachievable for so many alliances! 16k in 2 days!! seriously??
viral sail
Maximum each player can get per day, per @exotic plover 's comments above, is 300. Times 3 days, 900 per player during the event. So you need 18 players getting all biomass daily rewards every day for 3 days. Challenging, yes. But not impossible.
halcyon briar
Also anyone who hasn't finished their missions has an advantage since a lot of them reward biomaterial
viral sail
Actually, now that I think of it, in a reasonably active alliance, it seems quite achievable even without anyone doing the hardest swarm daily

Yeah, that one hit me too 😦

thanks for responding. there was a reddit post suggesting scopely was aware of the issue and to DM a moderator here, which I did. the reddit post seemed to indicate they were looking into it further for those caught in the situation.

Ah ok. <@&509691205798592532> , is this accurate?

so by the alliance biomineral herioc events standard only very active alliance can get top goal. stupid thing is rhe rewards aren't even rewards per se but a necessary resource to build up a ship that would be capable enough to do daily swarm. I would prefer such necessary rewards' acquisition not rest on activity of my fellow mates but my own activity.

Be good if we had an event that kept us entertained once the 3 swarm dailies are done so are we for 24hrs
sleek lark
@grim smelt don’t worry about not getting the ship this time it will come back around plus I ran out of frequency modulators at tier 3 and I ain’t buying a pack for it so back to grinding with ships I do have 😁
novel jasper
So how am I supposed to collect 16k bio materials? What's up with this wvent
All I can get is 180 from my dailies
And no way to get swarm tokens eotjer
abstract gate
@novel jasper It's an alliance event.
novel jasper
That's makes more sense I guess lol
abstract gate
😉
primal fulcrum
@abstract gate still impossible for a lot of groups
abstract gate
Maybe to complete entirely but that's what the lower milestones are for.
primal fulcrum
my alliance is top 50 on our server but still less than 20 people we'd be lucky to clear the first milstone
abstract gate
Ahh just 20 people is definitely a challenge.
primal fulcrum
just a minimum and making the false assumtion that everyone can clear all three dailies {at my lvl } it would take 38 people
two of the dailies would be 93 people
abstract gate
They always look at the statistics of events when they're introduced and completed for the first time and do better on the second.
primal fulcrum
but they will continue to have it where the lower 20s are suppose to compete with 39s
rapid sky
@primal fulcrum I think amount of biominerals/day might be different based on player level
rapid sky
yesh but I assume you have higher level players in your alliance
at ops 28 for example, it's 180/day, so it "only" takes 31 to complete 😄
primal fulcrum
@rapid sky I just went up to 27 and one 28 , highest two
I can't do all three and if I did , it's 150
most of my guys are around 22
rapid sky
so yeah, I suppose it is less likely your alliance will be able to complete all of them
if I was still lvl27, it would have been pretty easy for me to complete all 3 dailies
primal fulcrum
@rapid sky 3of them
I'm sure there are plenty of people who spent more than I have, and can get it all done
rapid sky
did you upgrade your Vak?
rapid sky
@thick pine how many 28s you get with your Kumari?
rapid sky
lol you're hardcore 😄
thick pine
so it;s a lot easier to repair 1h instead of 2 and half xD
primal fulcrum
not buying upgrade packs now to to upgrade a vak and none with my kumari, at least not yesterday
rapid sky
I didn't buy any packs to upgrade my Vak 😃
thick pine
i saved 2 dailies yesterday the big ones, waited to see what event start at 5 uk time ^^
small start for the alliance event ^^
primal fulcrum
@rapid sky those uncommon mats are not easy to in bulk
raw zenith
will we be getting new swarm events today? debating if I should complete my swarm dailies now or wait.
rapid sky
@raw zenith I'd say wait, nothing to lose 😄
raw zenith
true messed up yesterday and did dailies when i woke up and then lo and behold a heroic biomaterials event so missed out on giving that 300 toward event
rapid sky
same here
raw zenith
there should be an advanced notice of stuff like that. Considering you can only collect it once a day
cloud grail
Advanced notice from scopely.. working on it. 😂😂
raw zenith
😂
rapid sky
soon ™
raw zenith
with the ARMADAS!!!
rapid sky
well they did give a schedule of the week... so sometimes we get it lol
abstract gate
Anyone know when the North Star Mining event is coming?!
raw zenith
hopefully no mining events for a while. we have had too many.
abstract gate
I really want the NS
raw zenith
and they did nstar not too long ago
abstract gate
Last one was botany
raw zenith
so ns wont come around again for another month prob.
abstract gate
😭😭😭😭
raw zenith
oh they had offer to buy ns not the mining event
abstract gate
When
abstract gate
I thought it was only during mining
cloud grail
Alliance mining is once a month. So after the swarm it's a high possibility of alliance mining. Also BFG. Itsa toss up
abstract gate
Which means in an hour right
cloud grail
Nope not a chance swarm biominerals collection is 2 more days. I wouldn't put it past scopely to run concurrent events but I doubt it
abstract gate
Hmm i see ok thanks
rapid sky
well I really hope they add another swarm hunting event, I want the Khan shards 😄
and also some nice UC crystal
rapid sky
don't care much about the modulators
abstract gate
But you need it to upgrade your ship
rapid sky
I don't use the Franklin
minor bloom
Looking good in purple @cunning knot
cunning knot
thank u @minor bloom
rapid sky
so... mining event... 🤦
and they seem to fubar the rewards
at 28... 3.6M points for 150K steel and 275K dil
abstract gate
No alliance event either, hard pass...thanks for the free time scopely
stone grail
They giveth with one hand (Franklin) and with the other they taketh away
stone grail
🤣🤣
abstract gate
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No trit, less parsteel than my generators make in a single pull, and a pittance of dil. GTFO.
subtle crow
This mining event...
stone grail
Man "feedback is important to us"
Not even green to repair the miners I'm inevitably going to lose as its a mining event
abstract gate
Here is some feedback, you guys should fire people more often.
What happened to rewards? Significantly dropped
light ocean
There better be a bonus refinery after 3 dreadful mining days
abstract gate
Use to be par trit and dil tokens
light ocean
Yeah WTF the rewards are horrible!
stone grail
And why has @barren night got different events
Maybe they Want people to quit... Smart scopely smart
abstract gate
Eh...I'm gonna spend time with the family instead....as soon as I find one I like
rocky sequoia
What needs this y'all?
abstract gate
@rocky sequoia scopely's code

Are you kidding scop's? 280k dlithium for 3 days of intense struggle to get a node fre? F... Y...!
abstract gate
“Mega Miner Event” .... wrong .... “Boreing Mining Event”
sudden haven
Yeah borng, exactly
hard tartan
There seems to be a shift towards only giving out good rewards for the top ranks in leaderboard events. All solo events recently were crap.
modest rivet
What are these joke rewards for solo event? As for lb event unless your high level with faction miners don't bother
What a way to turn more players away from the game
unique ginkgo
3.6 mil and only 1 token that is crap
abstract gate
4.5mil for 3 dil tokens and some pocket change parsteel 🖕
Lvl31 top milestone...gtfo
hard tartan
It certainly drives me away from events. I'm not going to spend lots of time for unpredictable results. Unless you are rank 1 to 4 on the leaderboard, the event is totally not worth the investment. And you can't count on getting a high rank, there's always someone that has more time to spend in the days of the event.
crude jetty
give some fcking common ressources at least...
idle stump
those rewards aren't event worth the bottom milestone LET alone the top
abstract gate
Goddam dailys vive more parsteel than that bs...tf you smoking scopely?
idle stump
the heat has got to their heads
light ocean
💩
abstract gate
Was gonna drop some €'s to get a faction miner and tier it up...screwed that pooch didn't ya scopes? 🖕 🖕
modest rivet
They seriously don't think things through. Throw together events, tempt the whales with rewards and who cares about everyone else
hardy parcel
Yeah, hard pass on this one. Terrible rewards for too much effort. I'll spend the time farming rep and modulators instead 🤣🤣
radiant flicker
Rewards for solo decreased again lol and ally LB were completely deleted nice scopely 😬🙈
Franklin cant be upgraded without a few 100s bucks to spend for modules.(just 2 phaser tier 6 need 1.1 mio lol)..... events are just a joke at the moment
modest rivet
light ocean
Seriously @ SCOPELY, please fire the people that organize the events and hire me instead 😜
idle stump
is there not an alliance mining event <@&509691205798592532>
abstract gate
Odd, @twilit imp is offline...almost as if he knew what was coming...
thorny sail
for 33 lvl
abstract gate
Oh never mind he's on now...he'll fix everything 😂
winged tulip
💩
abstract gate
Seriously? That's the 33 reward? 😂 😂 😂
modest rivet
@twilit imp got the short straw of scopely jobs
rocky sequoia
@modest rivet I'm pretty sure we're getting the short straw on all this
thorny sail
@abstract gate
abstract gate
Hell even the youtubers get free ships...mods get bupkiss and deal with most of the fallout from bs like this
modest rivet
@abstract gate good point, they are just crazy as they volunteer 😂
abstract gate
Panic once said a nice thing about me.
modest rivet
@rocky sequoia that goes without saying
abstract gate
@thorny sail wasn't doubting you man...just incredulous that scopely can be so goddamm tone deaf
faint sphinx
@thorny sail well done mate, spread FDT to the world

level 28 - 3.6million

Too far?
cloud grail
No alliance event, no alliance points for free shields. Only thing that made alliance mining worth anything for me
cerulean venture
How to kill a new events hype, release the worst mining event to this date
Or just worst event to this date
tidal storm
Seriously... 1x100k dill token for 2.9m mining points ...lmfao
crystal sigil
Maby they think giving us biomineral refine is good reason to reduce event rewards 😂
tidal storm
I wonder sometimes what the colour of the sun is in their world ..
winged light
<@&509690795536941056> rewards needs to be improved for solo missions and please add the alliance mining event
tidal storm
Apologies...nickname now updated
tidal storm
New offer proposal... 50 of uc crystal, gas and ore for £2.99...they would make millions
calm stream
I won’t do the event
idle stump
doesn't even need to be and... could be crystal gas OR ore
elder comet
srsly if they would offer those packs i would buy them. have spent 0€ so far and am lvl27
chilly venture
just for remainder : this is what we got for last milestone of a mining event that litterraly ended now and was on 7 days
charred prawn
wow I didn't think the rewards could get much worse but what a joke
chilly venture
And this is what we get for the exact same mining requirements in 3 days...
Add to that no Alliance mining event and you can really doubt that they listen to feedback at all
charred prawn
I'm pretty sure at this point they just see the feedback about the rewards being poor and assume that means we want them to make them worse
chilly venture
This is the label for this channel :"Events are the heart and beat of the galaxy" : somehow I begin to doubt that 😭
leaden cipher
@twilit imp solo mining seems to be lvl 10 rewards overall, please adjust
devout talon
I would be ok with those rewards if I had a easier option to finish all the swarm dailies done and use regularly the biomass refinining.
but since I'm not spending a penny for a Franklin, the only alternative goes in the trash
hallow fog
Lol, this games done being interesting.
inner cave
It’s a joke. Barely enough to do a couple of the decent research nodes
craggy leaf
Begs the question - what takes a day to repair??
native zinc
I'm pretty sure games more interesting and better rewards by hitting overcaps than sitting on a rock
elder comet
@craggy leaf look rank5 2x 2days repair 😛
tame turtle
This is the 1st and 2nd alli on our server. That event is either too hard or not lasting long enough
<@&509690795536941056>
compact citrus
<@&509691205798592532> any idea if someone forgot to push a button for the alliance event again? or should we stop hoping for it?
steady phoenix
💩 thks again scupley," best event" and best prizes💩
gloomy rune
Just need 1500 of this events and i can upgrade to level 34 🤣 good game tactic the player either die before he upgrade or give it as heritage to his kids and they probably to there kids.
hazy gust
Or you spend thousands --- oh wait, we probably already did that ----
gloomy rune
Yeah if i count about 1 event per month iam able to proceed in year 2144 nice goal. I think my kids kids will ask at breakfast table mummmmmm why we still have to play this handheld game and she answer thats the heritage of your gran grand father just do it
But 16 generations more and they can level to 50. Lets hope thats before the sun burns earth to Toast
charred prawn
you can't actually get to 50 there's an invisible wall to level up to 40
gloomy rune
Damm i was hoping for the trade center
merry fulcrum
@craggy leaf epic ships probably take over a day if you don't do all your research or upgrade dry docks
craggy leaf
Ok. Good to know. Thanks @merry fulcrum
merry fulcrum
I saw one at t5 with 9hrs, with the prime repair researches done, and a drydock level 38
potent hound
Another Thunderome Mining Event.
craggy vine
This might be a really dumb questionm or asked before and i did not see it, but my curiosity needs to be satiated, a 2day repair speedup? what ship takes over 2 days to repair? am I missing something?
craggy leaf
Only way to get prime repairs is by purchase isn’t it?
merry fulcrum
Yep
edgy wasp
Until G4 materials are introduced into the game, the only way to get G4 rare is buying packs.
outer herald
Way to ruin the mining event guys. Massive step backwards. Making it hard to enjoy this game.
sudden kelp
Oh thank god, thought i was the only one thinking new mining event was ÇŔÀP
outer herald
I give it 💩💩💩💩💩
abstract gate
5 💩 ?? 😱
iron sun
I am trying to find out how you get more northstar bps without paying. I have tried searching but some info is too old or the info is inconsistent. I know there are some from mission rewards but from what I have researched not enough to build the ship. Some have said the rest can be earned through events. Which events give northstar bps? Or do they at all anymore? I am at ops 18, the current pay store has northstar offer but there don't seem to be any rewarded from the mining event which is the event I assumed you could get them from.
abstract gate
@iron sun the north star parks do appear in some events. You need patience. The one im thinking of cones once a month
iron sun
If you meant to say packs*, as in for purchase, I am not looking for that. I can see the pack available for purchase, I am asking can the bps be obtained from events as rewards.
outer herald
@abstract gate have a look at the event the reward suck to step backwards
compact citrus
is that five out of five 💩 ? or five out of ten?
abstract gate
Yeah I know silver, I passed it on 2mins after the event started
outer herald
Where is the trit para etc
For 2 days worth of mining ID expect more than even what we got before but I was happy at least getting something before
abstract gate
It looks like the intent was to focus on dilithium since most players got lots of tri in the last event. Demical placement needs to go a few spots to the right though
hollow bough
what's the chance they would update rewards mid event?
outer herald
@abstract gate completely agree but trit is anova emphasized resource that we all need everything is the expensive and requires that you need more events with the stuff just to progress or stay afloat.
@hollow bough I don't think that'll happen but we can only hope.
hollow bough
I remember them doing that for a previous event that had minimal rewards, but it was on the next cycle.
outer herald
@hollow bough yeah next time the event rocks around it'll change if not then this event becomes meaningless
mint adder
This event has been becoming more and more meaningless each time. taper bonus refinery, taper it more, remove it, less rewards
its really more of a pvp event with no rewards
cloud grail
What alliance event?
alpine yoke
Says it's running for 6 days but the current events end in 3, so probably after that, or will kick in tomorrow
Also a 6 day mining event really, really sucks :\
cloud grail
Think of it as a 6 day holiday instead.
Shield up, send miners, log off.
Renew sheilds, reset miners, log off.
Rinse and repeat. Use the time to remind friends and family that you are still around.
icy forge
@cosmic rose got a reply from Support team today on PvE event missing during Franklin bps Aqcuisition...they said they passed it to engeneers or devs (doesn't matter) and....nothing! Noone said they are going to make a second event for those who updated to 17 lvl and still missed one...nothing even on possible 45 bps give away...w o n d e r f u l 🕵️♂️
gray urchin
Y bother with the event at all the rewards are so bad it is not worth the time....time to pop a 3 day shield and take a break
soft gate
Did y’all not get this one? This is the second time my server has a raiding/mining event. 6 hours was perfect. Lots of fun.
Rewards went all the way down to the 50th alliance too, so pretty much prizes for everyone.
halcyon briar
@soft gate nope, we did not get that event
winged tulip
We got some turdy mining event with awful rewards, think they're trying to find out how bad events are before people give up and stop playing.
soft gate
Last time we got it, it lasted for 3 days and was 72 hours of terror. This time around it was a lot more reasonable,
hollow lodge
just the mining events is all we got
soft gate
Well, hopefully it pops for you guys in the next 2 1/2 days. My server has ridiculously high rss raided stats, so it’s also possible we are guinea pigs.
cloud grail
@soft gate apparently your part of the test group
I can't remember which mod said it, but that Limited to a test server or two
In the meantime on my deserted server I got this.. what am I to do with my other 2 days?
I was asleep for 4 of the past 8 hours mind you. Hahahaha
soft gate
Farm modulators, duh.
