meager galleon
Upgrade the Daily quests and rewardssssss already
Then I don’t have to be left disappointed at Domination events
The issue is the game model - many people rely on events to get some form of speed up on extremely slow progress at like 28+
So when the event sucks you feel left at a loose end and you’re there just waiting on refinery and hoping it works well for you
Completing daily quests purely for loyalty token and some tiny faction creds
modest oyster
This event is pretty insulting all around...
merry fulcrum
@idle stump 500 lat isn't a lot and that's only if I get first place
I remember the events that used to offer 1500 latinum
meager galleon
It just reminds me of the meme @ developer meeting where the sane one gets pushed out the window
What’s had almost universal good feedback and seems to work? Tiered Leaderboards for level brackets with corresponding rewards for their level
ie. don’t expect a lvl 24 to compete with lvl 30+ on mining events that have rewards for 24 hour repair tokens
Like mind blown
idle stump
Ours is 1000 lat for first place
meager galleon
It’s almost one mil trit per day @ catdealer for a passive style event that you can choose to ignore and costs you nothing potentially
It’s pretty shit but there’s some logic attached to their thinking
I do think these mini “bronze” tokens are a terrible implementation though.. I’m lvl 30 and ship modules cost anywhere from 5 to 12M Trit a pop.. what do I want with these 100K tokens
It’s like going to a casino and trying to enter a high roller tournament with stacks and stacks of pennies
abstract gate
Whilst I prefer 'left things to be desired' over 💩 - I like the 100K tokens. Wish there were slightly more but I like them.
I still often get short of a few 100K and it saves me exchanging a 1M one.
meager galleon
Yeah there is usages at Lower Ops levels
abstract gate
Which is still the majority mind you. 😛
meager galleon
But they should realise at a certain level bracket they are just tedious
abstract gate
For that, you can exchange 10x so it's like a 1M token.
meager galleon
What do you think of my analogy?
If the large majority of build requirements costs in the millions of a resource why bother with pennies
abstract gate
Hmm..
I still think it's a non-issue. There's the option to exchange 10x at a time. There are more important things to focus on.
merry fulcrum
Yes pull out the 1 million dollar bills, events are meant to benefit players, and reward them, not provide small rewards that they can mine in a similar ammnt of time
abstract gate
So I'd respectfully disagree and thing the analogy is an over-exaggeration of what's really going on.
mint adder
Tokens in general are bad for the game. Maybe as a small percentage of RSS so someone is drained they can get back on their feet. Way it is theres no RSS in circulation
meager galleon
Yeah it’s by far not my biggest gripe but because they’ve implemented them they seem the “goto” reward which just isn’t right for anyone 26+ really
meager galleon
To use those tokens
abstract gate
Ah tokens in general you mean?
meager galleon
Over the original tokens
merry fulcrum
Not when I get 800 trit for max reward, and mining event gave me over 130k for max reward
meager galleon
They use the smaller currency over larger one
merry fulcrum
Not counting the lower rewards
meager galleon
As they seem afraid to hand out say.. 3M Trit for someone ops 30
mint adder
Everybody only has tokens except guys like me that are waiting on uncommon / rare and bubble every night
abstract gate
Oh so still the 100k. Honestly trying to recollect but I think this is the first time (aside swarms intro maybe?) that I've gotten a few from an event.
abstract gate
I meant to aim that at Kaution @mint adder - sorry for the confusion.
mint adder
Np
meager galleon
I go back to my original point though.. the players that are 25/26+ are almost reliant on Events to feel some form of player progress when the event is extremely lack luster you basically ignore the game for the length of the event
Because the only thing you really wait on is refinery for those days
abstract gate
True - I experience the same.
meager galleon
I did have a lot of fun with this raiding aspect of event, I didn’t event care too much about rewards and enjoyed the team work our alliance put out.. I didn’t even complete the individual mining part
abstract gate
But, there's enough to fill an hour or two of your day each day. It's not a full-on game that you can play endlessly which is made clear by the timers in general.
meager galleon
This particular one we see often isn’t engaging in an individual level or team work level
abstract gate
Agreed but constant engagement would burn out people.
Especially those who would like to participate in everything (and complete all milestones) but also have other things to attend to.
meager galleon
Yeah fill maybe 30 minutes to 2 hours spread out over a day doing your daily for the token because the daily rewards are so out dated
meager galleon
🙈
meager galleon
I totally agree that event fatigue is a thing
abstract gate
Man talking to you like this makes me miss your reddit articles. Those were great.
Perhaps monthly was too much. Quarterly perhaps an idea.
meager galleon
But I think I’d rather not even see one over a weekend at all than the alliance domination one, I don’t remember the last one that was won by a non Big Spender solo
The alliance Domination thing could run over an entire week alongside other things (even mining because you can passively do both or ignore them) with a rebalance of what constitutes points
indigo bay
I needs uncommons 😭
meager galleon
Drive real competition, these mini Battle for Glory have been really interesting ? Dont know it other servers had as much fun as ours
Thankfully we had no alliance abusing it and leaving / raiding each other
indigo bay
It actually gave alliances a chance to compete
abstract gate
coughHINTKAUTIONcough
meager galleon

@abstract gate ↙️
abstract gate
💩
indigo bay
RefineryBonus was nice... got about 90 of the 800 crystal I need 🤣
meager galleon
I would probably give these days of events (Battle for Glory) a solid 8/10
indigo bay
Agreed. Speed ups or repair speed ups would have been a nice addition
Raiding is costly... on all parties 🤣
meager galleon
There was no hitches with the timings, the bonus refinery showed up and let people prepare for it. The PvP aspect was engaging and real fun for team work and competing, mining could be done in background for passive rewards and you consistently did well and placed top 3 you would have got a bunch of packs and half an officer each.
Which spread across 60+ players
abstract gate
I give your opinion a 💩 / 1⃣ 0⃣ because it'll get lost in the void of discord chat instead of gloriously staying around for a while on reddit.
But I also agree.
😂
indigo bay
I give it 💩💩
abstract gate
hahaha
meager galleon
As much as I liked Reddit and the initial feedback it then got flooded with repeat posts/complaints so my last stuff got lost
abstract gate
😦
If there was more you'd of felt we could've done to moderate, I'd love to hear about it.
Just don't make an whole "MODERATOR FEEDBACK" article because that'd make me feel sad 😢
😂
indigo bay
I'd give moderator feedback 💩💩💩
abstract gate
"As for John, I'll be brief and use everything in my power to describe him accurately. He's 💩 . "
OH predicted it

Right - back to work stuffs. Fun chat guys. 👍

meager galleon
I might do a largely positive review on last event with a secondary smaller one airing concerns about this domination style one if I can be arsed 😈
inner cave
Really only 100k trit tokens for daily domination event.
idle stump
@inner cave but if we get 5 days worth
as the avert might suggest
it starts to add up a lot
lapis skiff
Spend 100k in officer xp and get 4x 100k trit tokens...that seems like a good reward. Why the complaint?
I’m spending the xp anyways since their is an officer event. So it’s a free bonus.
mint adder
I wouldnt even notice 400k trit.
inner cave
True but have you got 100k xp to do every day ??
meager galleon
I have 7M but not the credits to spend on 20+ officers that I can upgrade
As they all require faction credits 😦
inner cave
Yeah got 5 or 6 myself but keeping credits for ships
Plus I have most of the Kahn crew that need officer tokens as well. Which you only get from high lvl faction chests
meager galleon
Yeah which is pitiful
pale plank
Does anyone know when next Battle for Glory event comes? i want to hit 26 before that
(so i can farm D3 blueprints)
inner cave
Only way I know to get them is faction chests. That is without buying them
mint adder
O, saw tokens got confused
Think in theory you can get them from faction loyalty packs
But like rare from refinery or worse
pale plank
@mint adder Battle for glory?
mint adder
@pale plank looks like historically once a month. So just a guess September 6 or 10
shrewd totem
This dominion event is great compared to previous ones.In 1 day you can complete milestones easily and you get good amount of trit without an effort
alliance event rewards are also good
inner cave
@shrewd totem depends on your lvl. That amount of trit is a drop in the ocean. Same rewards for all levels I think
steady scaffold
BTW did anyone get officer tokens from faction chest?
I opened 100+ and didn't find any
shrewd totem
1.5m trit for 5 days without doing anything technically @inner cave
@steady scaffold they drop from loyalty chest 2
steady scaffold
Strange I have on loyalty chest only 8 hours shild
inner cave
T6 kumari 10 mill trit for one node
steady scaffold
Or you have this token inside this chest?
steady scaffold
I know but this chance is really low
I open every day this chest for human and romulan and nothing
merry fulcrum
Don't think anyone has gotten them from any loyalty packs yet
inner cave
I’ve heard of one or two getting it. But chances are low. Just another way to get you to buy the officer packs
£99 and you get one of each
hollow oriole
Yea, not happening lol
inner cave
I know
soft gate
They are required to rank up your officers. Uncommon+ officers require them for the higher ranks.
kindred spire
@soft gate thanks for the info, I guess my crew aren't high enough to need them yet then 😥
brave kayak
I just saw a game notification flicker past talking about preparing for battle, but it disappeared before i could read it. Any news on next event?
oblique void
I really wish that power gained from ship upgrades counted towards the alliance domination event. Seems stupid that it doesn’t get credited.
rocky obsidian
Lots of things about this game are stupid... like alliance domination events
cinder flame
Grinding ship xp should be included as well
cinder flame
On any ship event tied to xp. And survey ships should be able to mine theirs
tidal storm
The domination event rewards are great ...for a L15 player ...
kind roost
There is still no way to determine how much power increase will come from completing a building or research. So this whole 24hr reset in the dominion event is just a complete gamble when most buildings and research take multiple days to complete event with the prime research speed. Won’t waste speed ups on a gamble sorry, think you guys missed it this time scopely
signal halo
Only this time 😂
idle stump
See I have to think differently, i think it’s a much better system to run them daily, it can help smaller alliance win things in the alliance events, with a team push on one day rather then being muscled out over 4 days. The solo one, if you wnana miss a day then you can, but still complete other days. It’s 100x better then having both events just run for 4 days solid. So well done scopley in my eyes
hollow oriole
for people trying to complete these domination solo events - dont bet on research or building, use officer and ship xp
if your final tier is 135k points, that is only the same amount in officer xp (which often is only a couple level-ups, and wait for an officer event that day as well for double event completion)
or in ship xp, that is a mere 9k ship xp to complete
pliant stirrup
At what level do you get 120 unc for 30 day chest
abstract gate
This again? Thats twice what's in mine at lvl32...server config is off somewhere <@&509691205798592532> (tagging you guys because weekend)
Server 129
sudden gull
Hmm I wonder if this chest increases the more you buy it maybe?
quasi merlin
No, on 29 each time 50 uncommon 3x buyed.
sudden gull
Hmm is the top post on a founder server?
abstract gate
Wtf at level 30 i get this
Yeah <@&509691205798592532> can we know why some servers are getting higher payouts in loyalty chest, are some servers loyalty held at greater value 😂
outer bison
Might just be a form of target client retention...not linked to server at all, but perhaps to total player spend?
steady scaffold
This is strange I had 100 uncomen at lvl 28 first time
Two weeks ago I finished 30 lvl and now I have 120
Don't know if it is because of lvl or how much money you spend....
I bought some packs but nothing special...
abstract gate
Lol i have bought a fair old bit enough for a nice holiday so if it's spend related it seems if ya spent less ya get more... That doesn't really fit the scope model 😂
hybrid sigil
mine for lvl 30 same as Starky85’s
abstract gate
And judging by @abstract gate lat and his level he spent more than me, it looks like a variation in server, I demand equal outcome for server loyalty 😂
pliant stirrup
what is @steady scaffold on? founders?
abstract gate
Aye if it was spend related I would expect to see a damn sight more than 70uc in mine lvl32 t7 saladin, t7 payflower (bought bp's too), t5 lego (1/2 bought), etc...
I have been born into a third world server 😪 all jokes aside, a difference of 60 additional of each uncommon so 180 across all 3 is huge, most events don't offer that much, really would like that looked at please
@abstract gate was looking into this before, it came up a week or more ago...no feedback since. My suggestion rn is to include your server number and player lvl with a screenshot of rewards available to you so <@&509691205798592532> can build a picture of the situation to send to scopely's code monkeys
And this game is such a grind over 12 months that difference is 2160 uncommons that's huge i mean huge for just doing the daily grind in purchase packs that's hundreds of pounds. Yeah it would take 12 months but by refinery standards it takes months to earn that much don't think there should be that disparity seems wrong
One might say almost criminal...
That's it I'm calling the police 😂
Trading standa4ds might have more pull tbh...just saying
It's a free earned reward doubt have much ground, but as it under the title of loyalty seems pretty bad that some loyalty is worth more than others
And by the way the difference over 12months is around £1500+ that's semi-decent used car money
If that difference is on anything other than founding server I will not be pleased already stopped spending for over a month just increasing that time I don't see the point in investing in this game and drawing my attention elsewhere these little things matter a lot to f2p and p2p
steady scaffold
I think that you aren't enough loyalty to game:)
abstract gate
2k+ uc's would get my horizon to t9, my lego to t7, my sally to t8 or tier up my soon to be purchased valkis to t4 with enough left over to tier antares from t4 to t5...
😂😂 its possible after my disloyal comments I have checked and my 30 day loyalty chest is now offering -120 uncommons dam they are watching 👀👀
There's also a discrepancy in rares...there's 3 of each in the pack with 120uc and only 2 of each in my 70uc pack...so 36 rares over 12months missing too
And the common
I know that's not a big wow but all adds up to why!@@
Meh common is just lat with funny thumbnails
😂😂 true but I want equal outcome 4 loyalty I can feel a twitter campaign
Commons should be scrapped tbh...would streamline refining and upgrading plus improve overall QoL ingame
@steady scaffold apologies on behalf of me and @abstract gate btw of the issue is noted it will defo get addressed to bring us all down to the same rewards not up 😂
Increase lat rewards across the board by 80-150% and make it an actual currency for upgrading etc instead of uncommons, ship parts and any other inventory bloat I've forgotten
@steady scaffold sorry to be a pain what do you get in your 7 day?
Mine @lvl32
Was 15uc @lvl31
modern crown
abstract gate
Honestly if I didn't need so much rare at my level of progress I'd be taking the 7day ones every time
modern crown
Thanks scopley for cheating us again
abstract gate
@modern crown what's your ops lvl?
merry fulcrum
It's a small improvement, it used to be nothing, no loyalty chests
But the issue here is people at the same levels getting different rewards
abstract gate
Only an improvement if you could reach final milestone (easy now with swarm dailys and t8 franklin)...i put myself through hell getting a second faction up when that went live...down from 3.2mil to 7k fed and minus 1.8mil rom to 7k in a little over a month
steady scaffold
7 day chest
abstract gate
Oh come on
Did the bulk of that with a kumari too
Jesus look at 7 day
30% more uc than me....
merry fulcrum
What level? @steady scaffold
steady scaffold
30
abstract gate
Thats f-ed up
What server are you @steady scaffold
The amount of UC needed, given in rewards in events and refined has always been a joke. Not surprised they cant even do loyalty chests right
If loyalty chests actually rewarded loyalty I'd be swimming in uc's and all those 34+ guys with enterprises would be drowning in rares...
To be fair bests makes more sense not just cause it's more look at the maths
If i do 4 x 7 pulls I get 60 of each uncommon that's 28 days, if I do a 30 day pull I get the same
Bests actually rewards you more for saving and having the extra 2 days which makes more sense lol
@sharp ibex as the only mod onl8ne (visibly at least) care to weigh in here?
Yeah you start getting rares which I assumed compensates for the not getting any gain on uncommons by doing a 30 loyalty chest infact slightly less payy off cause of the extra 2 days, but it seems somewhere they recognise that there should be a boost in uncommons by saving till 30 bests goes from a total of 288 uncommon for 4 x7 pulls to 360 for a 30 day that's seems more logical
rocky obsidian

@sharp ibex panic hates me and won't answer my questions, to the point of banning me for no legitimate reason (quickly overturned)
olive rover
At least the alliance event has good rewards
merry fulcrum
@abstract gate what'd you do to panic?
abstract gate
Asked real questions and gave honest feedback, he hates that
merry fulcrum
@sharp ibex I heard that if you invest some $$$ into your vahklas, you might be able to send those 24 swarms straight to the scrap yard
Any examples of questions
abstract gate
Does it matter? Blatant abuse of position was blatant and quickly recognised as such
hollow oriole
And evasive non-answers look like a dirty politician. #justsayin'
abstract gate
Appreciate a mod may not want to answer, but panic is by far not an easy person for us players to speak to appreciate it if a mod would raise it, I mean it can't be avoided the issue is there
And I'm not messaging scope as it will just be we can't comment on other servers blah blah working as intended blah blah, which I don't think people give them credit... the support team are right most things are working as intended just not how we see or expect them to work
😂
hollow oriole
going to be honest, i cant think of anything that would excuse different servers getting loyalty packs with such drastically different amounts of uncommon materials in them. assuming those screenshots are legit, that reeks of deceit and overall with seeing different servers getting different bonuses and special treatments, it feels more like they are treating the servers as experiments

made quite some progress lately
especially now that I am slowly maxing my standard crew
thus getting far more officer xp
also currently grinding my BB
that one seriously needs grinding 😛
T6 L12 😛 so still got 18 levels to fill up with xp 😛
investment wise, I am still in the lower 3 digit range
research and kumari wise, still need r&d 24 for that
going for def platform b level 24 later today
or tomorrow
so I hope to research it around next week
all depends on RNGesus' mercy

Anyone know when we will get faction event again

Hopefully soon
noble walrus
So are they going to be doing the race for 20 this month??? I have members that are asking, and Ican't find any current mention of it.
unique lodge
Why isn’t there a list of upcoming events? Do they not plan them out? Don’t want to share the info?
This is a time based strategy game, but it’s hard to have any strategy when you don’t know what is coming
Also why isn’t there an indicator of how much power gain you get from Research and Building, again, hard to strategize on seemingly random numbers
cloud grail
All good questions @unique lodge . They have also been asked before. I have so far not seen any good answers to these valid inquiries.
hollow oriole
Or any answers at all
abstract gate
Too busy, counting money
tepid ice
They don’t even announce events anymore in announcements when they have started.... scopely gone silent
abstract gate
Well it's not like the cm's get paid to do this....oh wait, yes they do. Easier to shoot the breeze in general chat and field a handful of softball questions than actually earn a paycheck I guess
Nothing but respect for the mods here, unpaid volunteers that nearly all go above and beyond their role description but the cm's really let their team down.
alpine yoke
Yeah, seems like the mods are the only ones who try and push things up the chain to get them looked at while I'm not even sure what Gala's job is. She doesn't seem to have any information, always deferring to Panic if asked anything, and doesn't say a word for weeks at a time (last post currently on 08/02, and that's not even the longest she's been quiet). This is a paid employee while the volunteer mods are fielding questions that SHOULD be going to the CMs non-stop.
abstract gate
☝ this...all of this
alpine yoke
Pretty sure Panic also said in his interview with Rev that it wasn't his job to interact with the community 😂
abstract gate
Hmm I wonder if I could tell my boss that being a forklift driver doesn't mean I have to load/unload lorrys...yeah that'd end well
alpine yoke
I'd honestly like to know what their job actually is. I'd say damage control but they don't even seem to be around for that, most of the time.
abstract gate
Scopely seemingly can't afford competent coders but they can afford 2 cm's that don't c or m
olive rover
CMs are supposed to be a direct link to getting key info to the company itself, he isn't there to take in all the abuse from the community as a whole, in a way, but somewhat yes. That's why you have moderation staff and supporting staff that generally is unpaid/volunteer.
craggy leaf
@abstract gate surely you just drive it and there is someone else to do the loading/unloading?
abstract gate
I'm gonna ask my boss if we can get some unpaid interns to do the actual work
craggy leaf
I think it is really funny people say scopely don’t have decent coders. They have created a huge game played by hundreds of thousands around the world. I’m not sure how much from scratch and how much from pre-built modules
But if from scratch v. Impressive
abstract gate
@craggy leaf they bought framework from didgit
craggy leaf
If from pre built the coding may be indecipherable
If you ask an electrician to fix another electricians wiring, they’ll probably recommenced rewiring rather than working everything out first
Maybe I’m just being too understanding
abstract gate
So a notification counter gets relayed to devs but the loyalty chest disparity is left hanging...nice priorities
What he said ☝️ lol
craggy leaf
To coin a phrase “ loyalty chest disparity is working as intended” 🤣😂
Probably similar algorithms to what is available in store or modifiers for refinery
abstract gate
Most certainly is some are being rewarded more than others, others are being shafted it will defo be intended, just think it's ironic they want to cause controversy over a daily login and play incentive under the guise of loyalty, only this company could manage to make something which is designed to keep you in game, annoy you and wanna play less 😂
Loyalty chest is unloyal to some irony alert
sour basin
It’s still free stuff?
abstract gate
We all work just as hard to reach that final milestone we should get same rewards
sour basin
People who spend money contribute to the continued existence of the game?
I eat equally hard at a restaurant doesn’t mean I should get steak if I paid for garlic bread
abstract gate
Well I bloody well paid for steak and I'm not even getting complimentary water
sour basin
Hard to say unless you know much they paid unfortunately
Relatively speaking
And besides there could be other metrics
Like time played? Player strength server progress
abstract gate
T7 saladin, t7 payflower, t8 franklin, t7 lego, lvl32....how much you reckon I've paid pal...bloody trolls
sour basin
They could be using it as a handicap even for all we know
I’m not a troll relax
But there are heaps of issues I doubt anything will get resolved unless players stop spending
Look at the power imbalance between officers/ships etc
But yeah I empathise so don’t direct hostility at me I’m just trying to figure out possible reasons
abstract gate
If the loyalty system was actually based on loyalty then everyone over lvl30 wouldn't be able to dock their ships due to uc overflow
sour basin
Can’t be random right ?
Maybe it’s server age then cause I agree you have spent a fair bit of money
abstract gate
Pre-release server...try again
sour basin
No I mean older servers get less
To speed up newer ones but I don’t think it’s that
Have you polled others on your server?
To see if they all get the same?
Do we even know if for example every player pays the same in ship module upgrade costs or is that tinkered with by their algorithms too?
abstract gate
If it was server age scopely would reduce the amount on new servers to force spending
sour basin
It’s all very opaque 😦
What about consistent reward value within server then? I asked in my server and several people reported different amounts
abstract gate
Module upgrades seem consistent going by posts here from multiple servers
sour basin
We know it’s not ops lvl based since u get less than that lvl 29 guy and several people lower than 30 are getting less than the other guy and less than you too
abstract gate
It's ops based same as packs problem is it's not uniform across servers
sour basin
But yeah imo the loyalty box should be fair for all and just boost amounts in packs for spenders but give other toys to spend on
abstract gate
Definitely ops based as mine went up from 60 to 70 when I lvl'd ops to 32
abstract gate
There's lvl30's on other servers getting 120uc ....that's the issue, either my server isn't getting enough or theirs is getting too much
abstract gate
Knowing scopely's cheapness my server is getting right amount tbh
sour basin
Out of curiosity since your pretty candid? On your refines say 1 batch how much do you average in a refine? Is it consistent with others?
I’m getting a bit paranoid about how much is tweaked between players
abstract gate
No point taking it up with support, useless bunch and cm's and mods seem indifferent to this issue too
I do double batches and average 4 or 5 uc's a pull ops32 refinery 32
sour basin
Well I was hoping they would address ship balance issues but that’s doesn’t seem to be happening, nor the onerous mission donation requirements lol
I usually get 4 or 0 heh sometimes they throw a curve ball and I get 7 uc or a couple rare but rare is well as the name suggests, rare
Ops 30
abstract gate
Some pulls are higher, double digits but then many are zero too
sour basin
Yeah so probably about the same for most people then.
abstract gate
No significant change in pull rate since double batches became available to me tbh
sour basin
Likewise
abstract gate
For reference to tier saladin again I need 1k uc crystal just for the cargo bay
125 days at current refinery rates

That's not to mention the 60 rares i need for impulse engines it's 110 but I have 50
sour basin
How far do you intend to tier the ships?
Your missions still achievable or is it combat events that are making you want to boos the ships that high?
abstract gate
Missions are becom8ng impossible again...1.4-2.5mil hostiles t7 sally playing crit roulette with gorkon can manage the 1.4's if they are triangle but that's it
sour basin
Damn and Saladin is one of the stronger contenders 😦 I don’t suppose you lucked out and have Harrison too?
abstract gate
T7 payflower with 70% kirk and 400% spock copes with interceptors around 1mil
Nope...with Harrison I'd be good up to 2mil most likely all triangle classes too
sour basin
What about intrepid? I hear it’s mediocre?
abstract gate
He either needs fixing or he needs to be available in recruit boxes so we all have a level playing field again
Skipping intrepid it's trash for it's cost
sour basin
I agree but think a lot of officers need adjusting
abstract gate
Lego will do once I've gotten it up another tier...500uc crystal there too
twilit sapphire
does donating 1m dilithium add to daily faction reputation event points?
craggy leaf
A Lego enterprise would be better value....
abstract gate
@twilit sapphire donating to alliance yes, missions no
twilit sapphire
thanks!
abstract gate
Pretty much all ships 32+ are either broken or just straight up underwhelming
Only enterprise isn't getting complaints rn but that could be it's raw power coupled with d4 and auger being broken making look better than it actually is
sour basin
Considering they had the bright idea of Rock Paper Scissors or battle triangle you would thing they would have it dialled in a bit better
abstract gate
Also sample size for epic ship comparisons is still fairly small when you factor in a larger portion of the playerbase goes fed
abstract gate
No epic ships on mine yet...we have a few 34's and a 37 though so won't be long
sour basin
They introduced too many variables into ship balancing
Like some ships with kinetic weapons and good bonuses from klingons for that
abstract gate
Pre-release so spending died off a while ago as players got jaded with scopely's treatment of us
sour basin
They should do what the devs of division 2 do and have a state of the game. They talk about bug fixes planned and in works. They even walk through some of the systems and why some bugs were hard to squash etc.
abstract gate
Transparency has never been in scopely's bag of tricks
sour basin
As evidenced by us trying to figure out he loyalty reward discrepancy
abstract gate
Just look at how we get stonewalled when asking for event calender...a reasonable request so we can strategize in this strategy game...
sour basin
Yeah don’t all mmos have that lol
abstract gate
All but one it seems
sour basin
I remember spending a bunch of uncom gas/crystal hours before the replicator event
abstract gate
Built and tiered antares to t4 a few hours before gorkon event dropped...also tiered saladin to t6 same time
Had I known of event I would've bought an extra pack and maxed the event
abstract gate
And probably a Klingon pack to promote gorkon too...200€ scopely missed out on from me
sour basin
So largest pack on euro servers is $100 eu?
abstract gate
Yeah around there...I'm in Sweden so it's kronor here but it converts to a little over 100€/£
sour basin
Damn yeah it’s 159.99 AUD in oz
In case my chat spam has distracted from the point. Hope they fix the loyalty boxes and bring them all UP to parity 😃 Thanks for the chat @abstract gate

Are you trying to get rid of the “new” notifications or the one that shows up on the app icon before you launch the game?
abstract gate
Read/unread items are stored per device in the cache. If you click everything (so it's read), restart and it shows as unread - you might have an aggressive app cleaner running that clears cache on app closed. But other than that, I'm unfamiliar with issues like these personally.
minor bloom
Yeah if it’s just everything saying new when you view it, click on it then back off and that should go away
For the battle logs just hit select all and mark as read to get that notification to clear

Best event so far.A 90% F2P alliance can be the 1st
abstract gate
Aside from the occasional whale pod most alliances are composed of mostly f2p/minnows
tiny dagger
awesome! congrats!!!
shrewd totem
@tiny dagger Thanks
@abstract gate we have 5 alliances full of big spenders.But only one was in T3 in this event
sharp ibex
same on ours actually
top alliance ain't top in domination
with a whopping 10m difference at 40.5m
shrewd totem
Probably because it is easy to improve power when you are low/mid lvl
sharp ibex
they have a lot of various ranges in that top alli
shrewd totem
Hmm.Interesting
sharp ibex
and they normally always end up first
shrewd totem
2nd one in T3 in my ss is the T1 alliance
This alliance event rewards are better than previous ones,so top alliances should focus more actually
shrewd totem
We are 7th in power but manage to be in T5 in events.This was second time we got 1st place
sharp ibex
now lets skip a day of focussing on dailies today and grind the bb, get some chests while doing it, score officer xp 😃
T6 maxlevel is 30 I guess, and it's at 12
so plenty to grind 😛
sharp ibex
well, I wanna tier it up so I can go deeper in augment space with it
higher rates, less leechers
hollow oriole
its worth getting to T7
sharp ibex
in the end, I wanna max all ships
hollow oriole
mine is T7, lvl 32 and mine about 45k/hr
sharp ibex
even if it's not worth it for some as I don't use them
and I need the parts as well
even grade 1 or 2 parts are actually welcome
you folks wanna get rid of em, I do not
hollow oriole
grade 2 for sure
sharp ibex
for the very simple reason that you never know what types of ships get added
you folks stock up on raw's to waste them in batches of 50k, I don't, maybe did it 1 or 2 times for fun, but in general, I only do one batch per time
it seriosly ain't worth the tremendous price increase
rngesus either provides or taketh
hollow oriole
i used to do the 2x refines, but yea its not worth it. id rather save up and benefit from the stockpile on bonus refinery times

They have no imagination. If the can fix the mission that requires a ridiculous amount of resources. I would have something to do in the game beside mining. Also the mission that requires player to destroy 2 million power ship.
shrewd totem
But I will be in here to see how game progresses
tawny coyote
@shrewd totem Hey 👋. Since Panic escape you going to leave? 😂
shrewd totem
Yea 😂 🤣
steep stream
Seems like they still plan to do more with the swarm. We have an unavailable epic who still shows no abilities.
Would not be shocked if they are working on Discovery content after the Beyond stuff. Licensees tend to like stuff to tie in and be topical.
Who knows, maybe we will get a time travel fast forward (or they just won't care about time) and the G4 ships will be TNG era (to tie to Picard...)
queen jasper
Maybe some original series movie content? I know it's not Kelvin universe but use the theme and create they're own missions
tawny coyote
They need to fix the mission already in the game so we can get faction credit and the problem with the lack of 3 node before they do major change in the game. Just remember the last major change cause problems for about 5 days. At least for me.
Plus we have ship and crew problem they need to address.
warped stag
Some day I hope for borg hostiles and a Voyager special.

And again domination event

OMG they lowered the rewards for the top tier on dmonation! Yesterday for me it was 125k trit and 5 100k trit tokens. today top tier is 50k trit and 2 100k tokens.
same requirements though

@raw zenith there are 5 tiers, you need to scroll up

Don't remember what kind of rewards there were🤔
merry fulcrum
Tritanium, and some uncommon, but it's soo soon after the last one
shrewd totem
@merry fulcrum some people couldnt get Franklin because of a bug in events
tidal valve
As long as there are no more 200 players trying to kill 30 swarm in a single system events, I’m fine with it.
merry fulcrum
So they're doing it again so soon? Because of a bug
reef adder
Gives me a chance to tier up the Franklin some more to my ops lvl
simple spear
If frequencies modulaters are part of the solo rewards I'd be happy. Maybe a few uncommon while they're at it...
tidal valve
Yeah, it’ll take me months to get enough modulators before I can even do the 2nd level swarm daily.
simple spear
Agreed. A daily solo board with 100k modulaters available to earn would be a great help.
shrewd totem
I need 2* exp parts more than modulators
merry fulcrum
I have over 2000 if you want some
shrewd totem
Spent my exp parts on JF long time ago
I didnt bothered to grind because I didnt need them
shrewd totem
Better than mining
olive rover
I'd love the credits and Uncommons...it'd help me get either a T1 faction ship or enough to get the other half of a T2 one, once I get to level 28 that is...
winged light
I believe the rewards will be exactly the same or worse compared to previous
Not trying to be excited
shrewd totem
I still have some hope
stone grail
You just know the rewards are going to be underwhelming
gilded jacinth
About rewards. Event weth a separatists will be really better
rocky obsidian
This sucks. I could really benefit from a faction event right now and we haven’t had one in months. But now we have to rehash the swarms which were stupid the first time, with a ship that is the most over-hyped handicapped pos in the game... except for BB.
tired nymph
When does it start what day doesnt say.
queen jasper
Or augment event with the actual possibility of getting augment ships rather than just staring at the ones that content creators get🙄
soft gate
I’m hoping they give out frequency modulators as a reward.
steep stream
Augment events ran much longer originally (some could say too long) without a break. We didn't initially have any indication it was going more than a week.
Could be that was the original plan but the glitches prompted them to end early and tweak instead of just plodding along with the issues
If we are lucky those who missed out on the ship can get and it won't be as much of a CF in a small unsustainable space...
tawny coyote
So is official that we will have an augment event?
copper temple
Apparently they’re “still working” on the bug where people couldn’t get the franklin, maybe this will be it haha
elfin meteor
you could get the USS Franklin but you had to work your butt off to get it and even then you need millions of moduaqtors to upgrade it
copper temple
Event was bugged for many, literally couldn’t get it
elfin meteor
i have bps to build a second one but see no point due to the cost
they need to give heaps of the modulators as rewards to make some want to do it as last time we got very little for doing so much
jolly jewel
If it's the Armadas coming soon we'll never see it again.
abstract gate
You all realise this'll mean another goddamm mining event right?
rapid sky
you mean mining swarm event @abstract gate ? 😹
low berry
@abstract gate cant be mining if swarm Connected

mining freq modulators from swarms @low berry
abstract gate
If bp's are in event again it'll likely be like last time, pve+mining running concurrently
rapid sky
let's hope it's not another mining event 😄
although I am mining anyway since I'm very low on raw after bonus refinery and being away for 3 days 😄
abstract gate
Because scopely have demonstrated a talent for original thinking...
thick pine
ofc it will be mining event
abstract gate
Or they might decide to screw people without Franklin entirely and put jaylah shards in as rewards....just enough for 1 player per server to unlock her ofc
I should probably stop giving them ideas...

Somebody was able to get her already??

yep
low berry

i doubt it is for bp (or soley for bp). my guess is hostile hunt for modulators

bp's for frankling will possibly be in the solo events
hazy stag
pleaaaase no mining 😢
thick pine
do what i do: have your miners out and collect after the event starts, to have a small lead

It won't be for modulators, those are scopely's revenue stream from swarm expansion. Franklin upgrade pack will appear alongside whatever half conceived dumpster fire of an event we get

How Im I supposed to kill 30s with a Franklin that can barely kill a single 26???? DEVS u SUCK!

Exactly the event is jacked up too high to force purchases. So the majority of our server has decided to boycott
Franklin isn't worth putting several hundred dollars in to to have a marginal ship

Are your UI team a bunch of adhd squirrels? Stop making random changes like centering map on ship every time you attack. At the very least make it a configurable option..

fickle chasm
Secondary quests always started in Niawellen... start there perhaps?
chilly venture
You would think that they would modify the rewards in order to provide some Frequency Modulators. Well, you would be wrong then...
Only way to get those would be to build another Franklin since mine is already maxed in Level, and since I need FM for next tier...
rapid sky
Hehe same here @chilly venture

NEW EVENT PLEASE!
pastel wind
what is this for an event. last event i got franklin only t2 - now i am ops22 and need to kill lvl 24+ - with a 37k might franklin? i only can do ONE event of these (killing 70 hostiles any) - rly rly nice balancing...
and i dont get any modulators or something to upgrade my franklin to be able todo the event
tawny coyote
@twilit imp I’m not sure about the rest of my server but as for me I only plan to do Threat from Beyond. The rest count me out. Not worth the effort or resources. Like I have mention before mission and event should be the way companies rewards player for playing the game. The way you guys set up event like the one offer, you want us to reward you for them. Sorry no more money from me.
merry fulcrum
You can kill any ships for pve goal, and if you can't do the heroic, then upgrade your Franklin, by farming swarms
languid cove
I’m stuck trying to get modulators, I’m 28 and the amount seems overwhelming considering I can’t get level 28s with any ship, much less my tier 3 Franklin
pastel wind
@merry fulcrum i can ONLY do the "threat from beyond" - the Heroic i need 150 lvl 22 - i can do lvl 20 only - so not able todo it. at the LB our first has already 313 mill points....useless to try. build event - useless todo with only 10k ship exp. and acquisition - 1920 lvl 22 swarms...gg, i cant kill one lvl 22... there need so be something where u get more modulators then normal farming
merry fulcrum
Oh, yeah I can't do that event, don't have a good enough ship to do it
pastel wind
i am ops22 - means i mean mills and mills of trit - and finally there are events rewarding trit - cant do....gg
stark vector
Nice @twilit imp another joke that event wasn't revamped it was absolutely the same now let me in now how a ops28 should kill level 30 swarms with 954k might/power
Just another pay to win approach and actually pay twice...
grim smelt
Yay! I got the PvE event this time!
rapid sky
For pve event you can kill any npc...
tawny coyote
I honestly think that either they don’t play the game or they are just for the money and nothing else. I have to kill lvl30 swarms to get 1 point. I don’t have a Franklin strong enough for that or any other ship. I would have to spend hundreds in speed up if I’m going to complete in the time frame and million in resources. Very unbalanced.
hexed schooner
SCOPELY! WHY? Do you antagonize the players that like this game, but hate your company! REALLY, those are achievable blueprints, 1 point per kill for a 26L Swarm! Lol....
What a Joke!
PLAY FAIR, SCOPELY! PLAY FAIR!
stark vector
But best thing is even if I could go on all of this guess what I would achieve a second Franklin? With insane amounts of modulator that you cannot farm unless you are addicted and bored to hell to kill 22'er = 37 modulator x 100 = 3700 from 120k needed for 1 yes 1 weapon upgrade at t4
warm yarrow
But that would be slighty lower due to the 4000 you get for killing 50 × level 15 +
hexed schooner
Scopely keeps pushing and pushing the envelope, how much can they make, before the mob gets the pitchforks and torches and burns this game down!
warm yarrow
Plus if you can kill the level 28 one that is another 4000
stark vector
I don't mean the daily stuff
tawny coyote
They make the game impossible to play. The amount of resources need for just basic ship is ridiculous. Mayflower to upgrade shield at tier 6 1,225 uncommon gas 180 uncommon ore 10 million in tritanium. Phaser 38 rare gas I can even remember the last time I got one rare gas from refinery just crazy.
stark vector
I mean simple farming
warm yarrow
@stark vector i know it is just that you can use the event to complete them at the same time
forest cipher
So with this 2nd installment of the Franklin Acquisition events, can one truly build and upgrade 2 Franklin ships? I mean, there is one component at each tier that requires a part you can only ever get once.
hexed schooner
I rather have nothing, no events, then constantly being slap with outrageous events that are not fair play!
merry fulcrum
Dailies help out if you do them daily, but they don't help short term, I think they meant the Franklin to be a long term ship, a long time to grind it out
stark vector
@merry fulcrum ye most likely
forest cipher
Maybe if we had the Franklin when the event started, the event rewards should have been modified to give frequency modulators instead.
hexed schooner
You can see the out cry and out rage from the community! At Scopely in Discord, vote there with your voice and your wallets!
tawny coyote
My Franklin ships just to do one phaser requires 1.2 million in modulators Ridiculous.
merry fulcrum
Or you could do it how the game is meant to be, and drop $$$$ on it, and max it out, i can tell all upgrade information for it
stark vector
@tawny coyote then you are at t7-8?
merry fulcrum
2.4 mil at tier 8, luckily not a single 3* uncommon is required for the franklin
tawny coyote
Tier 7 and the because I’m made the stupid mistake of purchasing several pack think it was going to help kill lvl30 swarms but no even close.
hexed schooner
Everyone just post: PLAY FAIR SCOPELY, PLAY FAIR!
Fill this channel with it!
merry fulcrum
"2.4mil per weapon"
forest cipher
Oh yeah, you can have a 2nd Franklin for $20.
stark vector
Haha @tawny coyote sorry to hear but thanks now I know I don't even need to think about
merry fulcrum
Looks like they don't understand how warp drives work
stark vector
Hard to hear that a t7 Franklin isn't able to kill a 30'er
tawny coyote
No don’t even think of doing the 20 dollar package. I purchase the Franklin have not use it but one time and then realized it was a pice of junk.
merry fulcrum
Yeah, It only has 1 purpose, and it doenst do it too well
stark vector
In the end I killed 26'er with my vahklas
merry fulcrum
Especially at later tiers
tawny coyote
At tier 7 it’s only 298,403 in power. I change crews several configuration and is junk.
merry fulcrum
Somehow it does get stronger than vahklas, not sure about kumari
I see franklins at 450k
tawny coyote
You need about 400 dollars just to do phaser at tier7.
nimble canyon
Do you have a limitless credit card??
merry fulcrum
- I don't have it 2. I have a ship info discord, someone with deep pockets had maxed it out by the end of the 3rd day
nimble canyon
Always upgrade weapons from top to bottom, that way your upgrade has the most effect.
tawny coyote
That is because I stop using it.
merry fulcrum
Lol, it does crap damage, a tier 2 did 500 damage, do my t4 vahklas destroyed it in 1 round
Docked with officers
tawny coyote
@merry fulcrum are you able to do lvl32
serene pollen
how much sabotage ?
merry fulcrum
That's someone elses
But he could do at least 1 per run, depending on If the swarm got a critical first round before kirk activated
stark vector
Omg
merry fulcrum
At higher levels setup is tlaan, kirk, and spock
stark vector
That's ridiculous
tawny coyote
So even at max lvl you can only destroy on lvl32 per round? @merry fulcrum
stark vector
It's not his
tawny coyote
Sorry miss that part.
merry fulcrum
I can ask other guy how many he can do, tbh idk how strong 32s are, never went to their system, I just know a Saladin citing first show will probably kill them
stark vector
954k Power is the 30'er
tawny coyote
This are lvl32
merry fulcrum
Ok, better Than I thought it would be, max 28 faction ships, or rares could probably do more than Franklin, but they cost a lot more
pastel wind
Just shit event. Cant do anything except the 70 pve kills where i get some trit. Not even the heroic can i do with a tier2 franklin
stark vector
I really would love to know let's see if I can gather infos from our big wallet
merry fulcrum
@stark vector the wallet says to spend more money
Big wallet says to spend even more money
stark vector
I think our wallet already spend on t7 franklin
merry fulcrum
There is no, "our" wallet

I’m not putting any more money 💰 in this game. Just going to grind it out.

€5.49 in total over 2 years not bad going if you ask me lol
merry fulcrum
Btw, try not to do events, save all ship xp, and officer xp for lvl 24, that's when event pay off gets a lot higher for ranked events
tawny coyote
I hope the other in my server stop spending money.
merry fulcrum
Lvl 23 ranked brackets gave 6mil parsteel, 24 gives 20.8mil parsteel
tawny coyote
Their maybe two player in my server that made be able to do lvl32 swarms one is a lvl39 and the other has an Enterprise. Other that that not too many.
stark vector
Going 28 now
meager galleon
Curious to see if anyone else was taken by surprise and enjoyed the Battle for Glory events
merry fulcrum
@stark vector did you crit?
teal jackal
How is that possible? Doesn’t the swarm automatically hit first? You should have taken some damage even if you one shot it.
merry fulcrum
@meager galleon are you kidding me, I saw the rewards and even though I couldn't do it, they were great, 4 1mil parsteel tokens every 8 hours, at lvl 24
stark vector
@merry fulcrum 1x critical with energy weapon
meager galleon
Well maybe I missed the event feedback at the time by being wrapped up in it hehe
shadow matrix
I do love events that reward res tokens
Tokens can't be robbed
Wohahahahahahahahaha
I'm rich in res tokens so can let my base be drained shield less as I hunt
merry fulcrum
So in 1 day at lvl 24, I would've gotten 12mil parsteel in tokens
stark vector
@merry fulcrum 28 was already 16 rounds...
shadow matrix
Beats mining
meager galleon
Are we taking a or the same event or is my memory being flakey
The event I’m referring to is the 6 hour one that gave Klingon Shard crew member with ultra/premium parts
thin heart
I'm bored of killing swarm already... more so when the leaderboard is the server as a whole and not tiered
I currently have 17M points.. #1 whale has 250M
Ridiculous 😂
merry fulcrum
@stark vector if you got a crit, then you probably would've won
Also switch out spock for uhura
stark vector
I thought about replacing with gorkon crew
merry fulcrum
Gorkon is meant for the 1 shot no repair bs in pvp
meager galleon
There’s potential that Sulu is better alongside Kirk there btw
Not Uhura or Spock
Decius is also good as the rounds rack up
merry fulcrum
@meager galleon I feel like your talking about act of war, with the tokens
stark vector
I will test 30 only with all crews you send me
meager galleon
No, I’m talking about Battle for glory
stark vector
Now its gorkon / kerla / woteln
meager galleon
That happened before the Domination events
It offered this guy as top spot 3 Shards and Stonn 3 Shards down to 2 and then 1
Alongside some Ultra box’s and Premium
merry fulcrum
Oh, that event, offered Kang shards, I liked it a lot, then again I mined 1 trit, then got off, and let a alliance member with a kvort, and Antares do all the work
meager galleon
I hit and run stations with my Kvort all day 😛
meager galleon
@stark vector Think of them almost like bosses
They have huge hull and the rounds go on for a while
narrow yoke
Try running Cadet UHuru, Cadet Kirk, Tlan.
meager galleon
If you use Kirk the stat boost is one of the best, Morale.. the biggest long term dmg well. Nobody for a Saladin because upping your accuracy does nothing if your base accuracy is only 1%, Sulu is Energy only
narrow yoke
On Saladin that give more than 2x the life of Gorkon or UHuru Kirk Chen vs lvl 32 swarm.
I have not tried this with Franklin yet.
meager galleon
Well even Instructor Spock with Kirk and then Tlaan is probably good for a Saladin
narrow yoke
That is an alternative recommendation.
meager galleon
But if you fight against them for mitigation certainly Uhura Tlaan Bones Cadet team
cunning knot
kirk spock tlan - bottom deck gorkon, kras, nero, stonn
on the flower
oh i ment decius lol
no tlan
shrewd tinsel
Need more frequency modulators in rewards
upper knot
Does Decious actually work? I tried his ability a few weeks ago and my damage output on round 25 was only a tiny bit higher than round 1
rapid sky
He does yes
hollow flint
@twilit imp so on the franklin..if damage per round is 3000,and damage to swarm ships is multiplied by 41 as per franklin ability..how come franklin only deals 22k damage b4 swarm does any damage mitigation....feel like im getting rolled on this ship ability
rapid sky
But the 6% is added to base value... still at 25 you should see a difference
cunning knot
oh then i can only say tlan then
abstract gate
Am I missing something or are there no level 33 or 34 swarm ships? Mine go from 32 to 35
So this event has a point level that you cannot get.
narrow yoke
That’s correct. I need to kill 188 lvl 32’s to complete the daily. That’s 30 trips. I can’t kill the 35’s.
So that’s over 2 hrs travel time alone.
I’m lvl 32. When I was lvl 31 last time this event occurred it was comparatively easy.
formal parrot
Did they add any swarm missions, or is it just the events? I've finished everything but upgrading to level 30.
narrow yoke
I don’t believe there are any new missions. There were none in the announcement.
formal parrot
Figures. Just nearly impossible events unless I buy the pack to upgrade my Franklin.
quasi harbor
Just another forced attempt by scopely to encourage overpurchasing of packs. They havent had decent rewards for events now for a month or more so i figure scopely really is showing how much of a cash grab this game is now.
whole orchid
Mining events for Franklin has decent rewards
And you get unc. from killing swarms events
rapid sky
@quasi harbor what's "decent rewards"?
At lvl 28, over the week I'll get about 300UC, 35Rares, around 20M trit, 8M strel 35 Khan Shards, 35 Mara shards and some other stuff
quasi harbor
Honestly havent seen an event with decent dilithium in awhile. And honestly if your burning resources to kill hostiles it should be expected to make some of that expense back without having to throw out 100$ bills for packs.
rapid sky
Repair costs are about 300K trit/30K dil per day
Previous mining event had some extra on the dil side, hostile training missions are giving quite a lot
Otherwise shake some bases for dil
carmine lily
@quasi harbor That's why i've been spending my bio on dilithium tokens. it's always in short supply.
@rapid sky That's operating on the assumption that there is any base anywhere with spare dilithium that you are actually able to take down.
tawny burrow
Do someone know when there will be more then 25 available?
lapis pivot
I’m sure someone does, but not anyone willing to share that information lol
tawny burrow
@lapis pivot 😟
gusty rose
Are they doing the burst events like last time?
carmine lily
I hope not.
real geyser
So franklin acquisition points were copied from the standard hostile events. One major problem though. Swarm systems only spawn single levels and not 3. Lvl 26 are near impossible to kill at all. Lvls 23 and 25 don't exist
Keep in mind im op lvl 23
round lava
I really wish they would bring the Northstar Event back for us free to play players.
I need the rest of those 18/90 blueprints.
carmine lily
@real geyser yes it's so much better this way, we don't constantly have to clear out the undesireable level hostiles because some previous douche selectively killed all the even numbered ones.
I absolutely love going to a level 24 system and actually finding level 24 hostiles! not 23, not 25, 24!
real geyser
@carmine lily my piint was that scopely was lazy snd didnt setup the event properly
carmine lily
How so? seems perfectly fine to me.
split sequoia
yup lazy
say 50% has the franklin already
events all the same.......
build a 2nd one.?!?!?!?!
seriously
carmine lily
all the kill events are based on even levels and the highest level required have always been near impossible to kill
split sequoia
lazy asses just pulled out the 1st event and zero modification
carmine lily
People asked for the event to be repeated so they could get the franklin. a lot of people missed out on it.
Scopely actually listened to the players on this one.
round lava
But they say screw the Northstar bunch, Lol.
real geyser
The last acquisition event wasnt setup like this garbage
carmine lily
It's not new, but at least it's not: mine, kill, mine, kil, mine kill, etc.............oh wait!
the first acquisiton event was worse, funnel the entire populace into one system where most couldn't even enter and those that could dealt with crippling lag.
sudden gull
@real geyser the pve event your talking about is any hostile you realise right? You don’t have to kill spawn for points any hostile counts
Only the threat from beyond events are Swarm only
rapid sky
@carmine lily well I gave all the options 😬
mint adder
👍 good event
Actual rewards not RSS that are free anyay
Active not passive (mining, spending)
carmine lily
@rapid sky minor scraps from generators in stations and missions that are impossible to complete. not really viable options. game experience varies greatly server to server though. good luck to you. I'm actually enjoying this event.
@mint adder wait till tomorrow when the mining event starts
rapid sky
That's why I didn't bother mentioning the generators lol
carmine lily
yeah a few hundred here and there helps some.
unfortunately many of those bases will get purged soon
rapid sky
I'm doing fine on the base shaking department, also just completed the 32 hostile captain and 33 normal ones so up to 6M dil, will last for a while...
real geyser
My mind has been loopy due to a lack of sleep. Thanks for trying to get through to me everyone.
carmine lily
i take it youre over level 26 then
mint adder
I'm sure mining will be fine. Build 3rd Franklin
carmine lily
I don't keep those kinf of resources ever. I've already got rags camping my base 24/7 waiting for the second my shield drops.
alpine yoke
random gripe about daily events: if the station and research events are going to award points based on power, we need to know how much power each grants. Using speedups to not even reach the first tier of the event because you can never tell beforehand is ridiculous
carmine lily
@alpine yoke they're pay to win events. unless you have an absolute ton of speedups or latinum there's no way you can complete them.
save up for them and dont upgrade until one shows up, then you have a chance at getting something out of them.
alpine yoke
I have both, but I don't want to piss them away if what I'm speeding up is only going to award me 400 points cause it's seemingly arbitrary
carmine lily
Honestly I never found the rewards good enough to even bother trying to burn enough to get them.
tawny coyote
Honestly I’m not going to even bother doing any of these event the reward to me are junk. Not worth the effort. Plus my server has some serious problem. Some system the hostiles are not moving, other the node look empty but in fact their is a ship on it. I have restarted the game twice reinstall and still the same. Since yesterday update the game so far has crash twice this morning. Plus has a hard time getting back in. I will set a one day shield and do some Mining and if I can my dailies. Send a ticket to support and get the same response. @twilit imp
fickle chasm
Sometimes double event rewards are worth it... especially officer events.
Don’t use speedups to complete an event unless you have the $$ and are battling for a 1-3 spot in the leaderboards
That’s my opinion... use as u see fit 🖖🍺
raw zenith
I like this event. Good rewards, uc's and trit are needed. Just wish there was an easy way to farm ship experience because I do not want to build a second franklin, but would like the rewards for upgrading it.
raw zenith
i keep forgetting about the latinum, but I do not have 1k sitting on 700 right now.
rapid sky
well you have another 6 days to stack some up 😁
not sure the rewards are worth it though
raw zenith
well its got modulators and that would be quicker than grinding swarm
winged tulip
Can't tier my Franklin without modulators and can't farm enough in 6 days, so no event for me.
raw zenith
i use my vahk and nstart for swarm. never used the franklin
rapid sky
@raw zenith it does but the amount is next to nothing
so I'll get 58K in total
I need over 100K for each of the weapons
raw zenith
yea, but that 58k will come easier using ship exp than grinding
rapid sky
yes but my Franklin is maxed for its tier lol
raw zenith
oh
rapid sky
so I can't do it unless I build a second one lol
raw zenith
I do not even use my franklin. it said tier 5 is needed for ops 24. mine is at tier 3 right now. now way itll kill the lvl 26's i need it to
rapid sky
I'm also not using it, just leveled it up during ship events 😂
raw zenith
lol
shrewd totem
@rapid sky are you sure 50k ship exp is 1k lat?
