@flint osprey No you're reading that wrong, it's 1400 to go from T4 to T5
#🏆-event-chat
hardy parcel
No, no, no. Difference is a bortas will eventually wipe the floor with a kumari.
Long term bortas is the better investment by a long way. Especially if f2p.
lusty oak
Just for comparison to my Kumari earlier, freshly upgraded to T5 but needs some level upgrades
hardy parcel
It's a huge waste of materials to upgrade any of the common g3 ships past t6. Except the horizon.
lusty oak
Not if that upgrade gives you an equal return on investment by allowing you to gain more rewards
hardy parcel
Nope, you will regret it long term.
Better to move to a faction ship asap.

Guys quick. Limited time offer. Spend 168 uncommon to get back 25
Sometimes i really wonder who makes these events
lone leaf
i am assuming gold-diggers who have lost all sense of reality, but I cant be sure
rapid sky
well you get back 25 for spending 168, what's wrong with that?
elder topaz
hardy parcel
Yes. But if you are spending that on upgrades (,which you are) then the reality is that a 168 uc upgrade just cost you 143 uc.
What's the problem with that?
verbal frost
@rapid sky 🤔
winged tulip
Nice if you had it ready and were going to spend it anyway, but otherwise completely pointless. There's no way to increase the rate you get g3 at so it's not like you can work harder while the rebate is up..
verbal frost
@hardy parcel because of what rwagg just said and lots other reasons
There are no base events worth spending on
hardy parcel
Most of our server just wait for the rebate to do the upgrades.
@verbal frost it is free stuff.
winged tulip
It would be great with a few weeks notice so you could plan out when to do big upgrades, but as it is you're just as likely to have spent a load just before the event started!
verbal frost
If they gave a base event i would but that aint free stuff. It just makes you use it now and when base event is on you wont have it
rapid sky
Well for the 1st time it was a bit annoying, but since we now know it's coming just keep your UCs and use them when the rebate is there
verbal frost
Forcing you to either buy packs or wait again
rapid sky
at ops 28 it's 510 and get 77 back, I have no trouble getting that much between the rebates
winged tulip
Good luck waiting for the gas rebate
rapid sky
haha I have patience and either way I only hold off on big stuff that needs UC, I have about 900 gas 😬
floral trail
Hmm, I don't think the rebates are that worth it due to the sliding scale. If you were going to spend it anyway then great, some people wait for the upgrades, i'd prefer to get the extra power factor on my ships to make it easier to do the events and get uncommons that way.
Personal choice really, and i'm impatient 😉
rapid sky
well my ships are in a good stage so I don't have to rush anything, but I agree if you can't complete events you might want to tier up your ship first irrespective of rebates
boreal hemlock
It’s a dumb event that some people find fabulous
rapid sky
well until they give a better way to get 77 UC crystal in 1 day (or even in 5) I'll take it and do it every time
granite cobalt
can anyone confirm if this new event will let players that don't have the Franklin yet build it for free?
upper jay
Hi, that's what I was trying to figure out... missions starting from Elona are new or the old ones?
earnest snow
Old ones and the ship was never available from missions. It was event based so no you cannot get it this time around.
upper jay
Thanks mate... I'll go on killing swarm with my vahklas for some more months, then😬

@left jay We're not Scopely ... over tagging won't make it any more important either

It would have been better to exploit and spend the resources.

refine timer is server side. notifications sticking is client side - very different
left jay
It's bullshit is all I'm saying. The people that exploited got all the raw materials back. And anything they spent was free.
@quick sand I don't know I thought maybe you could do a video on it? I'm sure rev will. Not necessarily you but some of the other content creators.

We dont do videos, what we do is very different
WE all know about it and Rev has already done a video on it ... check #📺-streams-and-videos channel beofre over tagging please

He just sent it
You should make it check by Scopely... Because I'm not the only one saying it

Do you have any info on what over indulging looks like - using it once? 10 times? 100?

This is a bullshit. Scopely makes an error and some players must pay.

<@&509691205798592532> Can any of you confirm if the USS Franklin is now permanently behind a paywall. i.e . The f2p'ers had one (1) opportunity to get it and one opportunity only?
raw zenith
F2P players had multiple opportunities to get the Franklin free. At least 3 that I know of @tribal sundial
smoky remnant
We had the opportunity to participate in a buy a pack event that lead to the possibility of blueprints. Difference
raw zenith
It is not offered in this event because many ppl have it already
It may come around again though
sweet aspen
There were I believe 2 mining that offered free parts. I am at 46/90....
Mining events
raw zenith
No there were 3 events where you mined and killed hostiles to get the bps
tribal sundial
During the initial launch of the swarm content yes
sweet aspen
Still kind of stupid not to offer more pieces...
raw zenith
No. Post event launch too
tribal sundial
Not on my server there haven't and believe me, I've been watching
sweet aspen
Frengi ship is 11 more 30 day rewards....
jaunty knoll
We only had two events where you could get Franklin free
raw zenith
If I misstated number sorry but at a minimum 2 opportunities
tribal sundial
@sweet aspen are we talking mega miner events?
tribal sundial
I have only seen swarm events since the launch that give biomaterials and regular loot only
Not seen a swarm mining event since launch
jaunty knoll
On both occasions I got the max from the mining portion and none from killing swarm
tribal sundial
Granted launch was about 2 or 3 weeks long, so yes there may have been two there, but since then, nothing
sweet aspen
Great 2!
When is the next one!
raw zenith
I built two franklins from the events and I’m f2p
jaunty knoll
There was a gap of time between the two events
Yes if you completed both the swarm portion and mining portion both times you could get BPS for 2
tribal sundial
Fantastic attitude as a mod. Nah nah, I did so u should have.
shrewd totem
@tribal sundial we had same amount of Franklin events
tribal sundial
I didn't have the power at the time to complete the hostile events. Many others may not have
raw zenith
Excuse me? I don’t have an attitude. But there have been at least 2 opportunities
shrewd totem
Soon?
raw zenith
Do not know
tribal sundial
That's all I was asking
shrewd totem
We really dont know an exact date and even we did,cant share
jaunty knoll
That was my issue as well and why I built only one from the mining portion both times
jaunty knoll
If you knew would you still say you don't know or just that you couldn't share? Lol
shrewd totem
@tribal sundial all of the mods in here also cares about players and want to improve community otherwise they wouldnt spent their free time in here
@jaunty knoll I would say 🤷♂️
raw zenith
We honestly cannot say. NDA
tribal sundial
I guess so. I do appreciate the time, perhaps I misread, just seemed a little snarky to me when all I was looking for was a yes, no, we don't know

I apologize if I came across as snippy. It’s been a very long day

No worries. Cheers J. Clark. My apologies also, I know you guys are ppl too

Only reason to come to this discord today was to ask about Franklin pieces.....

Well we all play the game and then we come in here we try to help and don’t always have the answer.

You mean you are Mr. Know it alls lok
tribal sundial
Yep, I get that. Guess I let my frustrations at a certain cimpany get the better of me
Cheers all have a great day/evening

Know it alls 😂 I still have to ask for help from you all. I didn’t know who to pair Decius with
jaunty knoll
Here is my advice if you aren't paying for the game just go with the flow and enjoy it . For those who spend, I can understand frustration setting in.
Mr know it all was a segment of rocky and Bullwinkle and inevitably he got everything wrong
raw zenith
Most expensive thing I bought was NS at $20 because I missed first three days of the event where it was offered and I was lvl 14 when it started. I set a $50 limit in the game
tribal sundial
Yeah, my problem is, I spend, just not Scopely level spend. Saving for a house for the family and $80 AUD a month is waay beyond me
Struggle to justify $30 on a gamr
Already bought one Franklin pack but srsly you need to buy 2?
Only need 22 more bps
raw zenith
I would spend $50 on a console so that is how I justified it
jaunty knoll
What's funny is as a f2p player, the big guns who try to indimidate me always fail, because honestly I lose nothing even if they raid.
raw zenith
😂yep and when you raid them they lose it
jaunty knoll
I do fun things let set a fortunate right in front of a level 39 player. And if he whacks it I send it right back over and over....lol
raw zenith
Lol we’ve done that
jaunty knoll
And when he finally gave up I labeled him admiral runaway...lol
raw zenith
😂
jaunty knoll
That's the thing folks forget about the game. GC is just as much a tool and a factor in the game as anything else.
raw zenith
Yep. Alright got to get to game bbl

Have fun

Franklin event was July and August I believe. Nothing Sept and looks like nothing this month....
floral pike
Feedback about "Threat from Beyond" Events....
I think Threat from Beyond - Heroic (150 points with different points for a higher swarm level) is GREAT! I like it ...
The problem with with Threat from Beyond where we need to kill 150 (yes, 150 swarm clusters) ... so when I complete the Heroic one I only killed 15 swarms and then I need to kill 135 more to complete the other event... which is boring and not challenging....
Why can't you do different points based on swarm levels for the 2 events? It could be lower points for the regular Threat from Beyond but still something higher than ONE so we don't need to waste time killing 135 low lvl swarms and could be using this time for more challenging things... this is about making the game more entertaining ...

That would be handy @merry fulcrum - see it has popped back up in the store for me but won’t be paying for it
Hopefully the 2 day Franklin event comes up later in week. MIssed it by 7hrs last time around as I was upgrading from Ops16->17
merry fulcrum
They have a event for getting the franklin for free, gotta mine, and do pve, ill check back in a few hours to see if it's there
Last time they didn't launch franklin acquisition until day 2
merry fulcrum
Yep, we will see in a few hours

<@&509691205798592532> can you pleas rise the issue with the devs to so something about this events? How can a medium lvl can compete on a event with the big players and expect to have even the smallest prize.
@flint ospreyit the same on mine
I m hitting all that i can and not even in the top 50
meager galleon
Have done ✅
flint osprey
Lol I dont even try @civic atlas , why bother.
I did try when the call to arms was tiered even though I wasn't planning on it cuz usually it's useless but when I found out it's tiered, the raiding started
And this was the result
civic atlas
@flint osprey i ve tried. Once. Thought i had a change to catch the lower podium
@meager galleon thank you👍
kind roost
The Threat Beyond solo leaderboard took over 1B dmg to rank in the top 25. Rewards below top 25 are meaningless
solid badger
Same here this needs to be bracketed

Agreed, I’ve fed this back in multiple different ways to bracket the leaderboard each time or at least make the rewards decent all way down to 200 and not top heavy
craggy sleet
Guys i am newbie can u teach me how to play?
weak copper
I got 35k trit as a reward after killing around 130 lvl 30 swarms. Repairs cost....well, a bit more than 35k trit. It was a pointless exercise like so many leaderboard events. And That’s from a lvl 29 player with semi-decent ships.
abstract gate
You just can't compete with the whales in any way. They got at least 1 maxed out franklin laying the smackdown on lvl 35 swarms like they're pieces of paper
whole orchid
Even for usual events such as stations and officer XP... A lvl28 can't compete with lvl34+
calm stream
@craggy sleet run from this game while you can , soon it will be too late
We are doomed here
weak copper
There needs to be some way to allow more than just the usual suspects on every server from continuously hogging all the top rewards every single time.
abstract gate
Indeed. Bracket it so everyone has a decent chance
Like we had usually.. can't think of any other way than they want you to spend more to be able to compete
weak copper
I have spent quite a bit. And I certainly don’t begrudge others who’ve spent more than me winning events. But there has to be some way Scopely can stage these things so that more than 5 or 6 people on each server have a chance of bagging genuinely useful rewards
latent peak
Ranking events are only for top whales to show of. No chance for normal player to get decent reward
abstract gate
@abstract gate when trying to think of reasons scopely does anything think about dollar signs for 5min...congratulations you've now put 4min59secs more thought into it than scopely

Meh at least it wont be hard to merge a dead server 🖖

Has there been any talk about the ranked solo events being broken up into tiers?
carmine lily
you mean the serverwide bs events?
untold bolt
@carmine lily 👍
potent yarrow
For all the Franklin ship users. At what tier do you need in order to take out level 28 swarms? Currently I’m at t3 with 59k power and haven’t upgraded any modules or xp yet. Also wasn’t sure if buying th Franklin pack would even get me up there.
I know it takes 200k swarm modulators to get to t4. And the pack that they’re selling has 1.2m of them so i wonder how far 1M would get me. To t5 or t6? Or barely upgrades all modules of t4.
carmine lily
I suspect tier 5 is the sweet spot for 28 swarms. I just got there, no upgrades yet and just slightly short of being able to kill one.

Can anyone tell me where to find missions and quests for Franklin. In the announcement elona is stated but there is nothing. Or do I only get blueprints in events??
odd crystal
I did all the missions up to Build the Franklin Part 1 and there were 0 blueprints. During the first event I was only level 15 so could not participate. They have not done another event with blueprints as the rewards since... It's a huge point of contention, I've put tickets in, I refuse to pay $40 for a ship everyone else got for free with a few days grinding in an event. Scopely cares not in my opinion. I would suggest making a ticket so at least they get a lot of them.
eager hill
@potent yarrow that pack will get it to t5 i believe but what rubs me is the same pack has 3mil modulators for lvl 30 players! and at ops 28 you will have to kill swarm lvl 30 and t6 franklin can't manage it. barely a single one if you have a single upgrade on franklin. And to make it prettier it took me abt 40-45 days of casual grind and daily to get 550k modulators for a single weapon. upto you if you think that is worth it
abstract gate
@odd crystal👍 👍 will do.. Completely agree with you
But the should do these events regularly as you need to have a certain level tp participate..
odd crystal
My biggest issue is that during the event I leveled from 23 to 24, what a huge mistake that was. The Heroic Swarm Threat mission had me killing level 24 swarm before I leveled up and they were 191K in strength. Without a Franklin I was using my North Star and would have to repair after killing 5, but it was doable. When I leveled up to 24 that same Heric Swarm Threat mission has me killing level 26 swarm, 360K in strength. There is no ship in the game that I'm aware of that a level 23 will have access to that can defeat that strength ship without repairing every kill. My North Star can win after 65 rounds of combat but limps back to the station after each engagement making it cost prohibitive to do the daily as it will cost 25x more in repairs than you get for the event reward. So if you don't have a Franklin already then I would not level up to 24. This has effectively killed my ability to do the top level of Swarm daily and nixed my participation in the Event this week.
@twilit imp as community manager I would ask that you take this feedback to the dev's, I understand that there needs to be progression in difficulty from level to level, but jumping from 191K to 360K in strength seems a bit much. I contacted support with a ticket and they said it was working as intended so my only recourse now is to appeal through other channels.
winged robin
eager hill
@odd crystal t6 vahklas can manage them but I get your point. also a slight correction, battles don't last more than 50 rounds. I found the difficulty increase at even levels pretty soon and have always been cautious of it. With swarm event rewards being so good, it is now more important to make sure you can handle next levels now.
odd crystal
@eager hill I'm aware that battles end after 50 rounds, my North Star goes through 50 rounds, I let my shields recharge while I follow the target, once shields are recharged I attack again and kill it after 15 rounds, so 50+15 = 65 rounds...
eager hill
@odd crystal that is something. what tier is your vahklas/kumari? they might do better job
modest oyster
Domination Again? Is this a joke?
earnest snow
Seriously?
odd crystal
I just turned 24, you have to upgrade nearly every building to unlock the shipyard at 24, I'm nearly there and can start building my Kumari. I looked at the resources necessary to upgrade the Vahklas and made the decision to move to Level 24 and invest in the Kumari... @eager hill
I spoke to many people in my Alliance over the merits of leveling the Vahklas with the mats or the Kumari and the consensus was that if I did not have a Scopely credit card that I would be better served leveling the Kumari and then the Vahklas, both will be done, just making the Kumari the priority right now.
latent peak
Upgrade kumari to t6 and maybe max ns, than concentrate on horizon till lv28 faction ships

Don't know, i never buy, got only the 4.99 pack, #f2prules 😉 😂

@odd crystal unless you get the franklin soon, vahklas will be useful for swarm at least. kumari can technically also do the job so yeah kumari is the way to go 👍
unreal fox
Does someone know why there is 2 Leaderboard Ship events that give Officer XP + recruit tokens (at a few days of interval), and never a Ship event that give 2 rare crystals + lot of UC Crystal etc...?
latent peak
Why hostile spawn rate isn't fixed yet, come on scopley, more hostile, more killing, more damage, more repair speedups used, more cash for your company
earnest snow
@unreal fox what lvl are you? Rewards are lvl dependent to a certain degree.
manic bramble
@twilit imp A question. Why are there no NPCs left in Swarm Systems Lv 20-26? The waiting time for new NPCs at a spawn point is over 4 minutes
Sometimes there are less than 3 NPCs in the system. And that during the event. That sucks 😩😩😩
latent peak
Less hostile is because of latinum node's and the 300 extra g3 node's, when g4 come we got no hostile left
earnest snow
@manic bramble not having that trouble on my server. Sorry.
dapper drum
have you tried sacrificing a fortunate to an elite boss?
earnest snow
@unreal fox that'll be the problem then, I went 28 a week or so ago, only then did rares start to show up as rewards. But it's top 10 now not top 25. I'll see if I can get a screenshot.
unreal fox
@earnest snow okay i see ! Thanks!
The problem at lvl 28 is that all the p2w players are up there... So ship events are simply based on how much latinum a player wants to give for these rewards
merry fulcrum
@earnest snow at level 24 rares showed up in the ranked event
But only 1 event had at least 1 of every type
earnest snow
Interesting

@merry fulcrum for ship events I don't see any "crystal oriented" event... I don't know why. I check all the ranked events on multiple rotations (always the same order for those events)

I liked swarms more when I was level 27, as killing 28s for the heroic was way easier than killing 30s. Still good though, just more costly

Can you kill 32s with a t6 Frank?

i'm 27 and putting off going to 28 specifically because i can barely kill 28's 30's would be impossible

That 1.2 mil is not even enough to get it to t6
The cost are ridiculous
Was so disappointed with it, 3 days of mining and hostile killing and then, " here is free but useless "
And grind modulators is hardcore if you need milions
vapid hill
At higher level you get 3.2 mil. Scopely tiers costs. Of course.
alpine yoke
@carmine quiver Could be the Galaxy research buffs when fighting swarm maybe? Only kick in when in combat
opaque tendon
It's wrong to compete in the event by killing other players in a pvp game?
spare fiber
If they are going to have constant swarm missions they should have brought back the event where we can earn the Franklin not just put it in store again
alpine yoke
And having modulators as event rewards (other than the alliance leaderboard) seems like it'd be a fairly natural concept...so we can build up the franklin through the swarm events
eager hill
can someone level 30 share a screenshot of their swarm event rewards?
pliant stirrup
When people stop buying modulator packs I'm sure they will add it to events
eager hill
@dapper drum thank you.
@dapper drum swarm event reward seems worse for lvl 30. I am getting less trit and rare crystal but 12+4UC crystal at ops 28. only scopely :/

I have seen a huge change in the way events have are being run, but also the way awards ha e been changed to help the players. I do hope you havent gotten away from alliance credits. Haven't seen to much awarded out

Why is the spawnrate of swarmships so bad.? Normally ist mich fester but since that event started its just horrible
reef adder
I think it's just people have caught up to the same systems you're probably in. That's what I'm experiencing. Everyone is able to do 28s now on my server so more competition.

Event Proposal:
On November 5th, 00:00 - 23:59, all alliances are turned off, all ROE suspended.
#Nov5NoAllianceNoROE
#RememberRemember
What say scopely? Programmatically, can you just disable all alliances? ROE is self imposed
flat lake
Does scopely read this channel?
dapper drum
multiple times a day
vapid hill
Lol, no scopely does not read this channel or this discord.
grave violet
@flat lake Why? You can do that any day.
shrewd totem
@vapid hill are you sure?
vapid hill
The proof is in the pudding.
shrewd totem
@flat lake RoE isnt a feature made by Scopely,it is player made.If you want to play without RoE,then do so.No one says you cant
flat lake
I said roe was self imposed, I'm looking for a server wide suspension of any expectation of roe
For one day
shrewd totem
@flat lake you should talk that with your server
flat lake
It'll make people appreciate roe. And anyway, talking to just my server wouldn't address the NoAlliance part.
shrewd totem
🤔
flat lake
That's have to be programmatical
shrewd totem
Or you guys can leave your alliance and do it
flat lake
Ok, participants in #RememberRemember leave their alliance, go nuts on Nov 5, hop back in the next day (if the alliance lets them)
Doesn't need programming, that's better
How hard would it be to setup rewards for damage dealt/taken for a specific day?
shrewd totem
🤷♂️
hollow oriole
the top 2 alliances on my server did somethign like no Roe day a couple months back, spent like a week smack talking about how much killing they were all going to do. come the purge day, like 3 of them cleared a couple systems and then both alliances spent the entire day mining guarding all their envoys and horizons with 20+ warships like clucking chickens. was a complete joke
vapid hill
@flat lake They already have a raid event set up, so the functionality is there.
carmine lily
the sole intention of ROE is to protect miners. Mass killing miners is just stupid, anything can kill a miner, even other miners. If you want to do pvp go find some warships to kill, there's plenty of them just sitting about to target. Or raid some bases, there's plenty of those too. It's been plainly obvious numerous times that anyone who complaint about ROE or wants to get rid of it just wants to go around slaughtering miners because they are nice soft targets. There's more than enough pvp opportunities available out there for you without having to resort to killing miners.
alpine yoke
We taking bets on next events? My money's on data mining or latinum, so they can sell more d'vors
Though I'd love a faction event
carmine lily
i doubt data mining will be a thing ever again. The last data event they tried to do there was such an uproar that they ended it after 24 hours.
I'd love faction hunt but odds are probably more likely on a mining event.
proud solar
More armadas roll out... 🤔
carmine lily
if it gets improved with some reasonable rewards i wouldn't complain
untold bolt
This is just plain obnoxious!
carmine lily
that happens in every single officer event
someone always has more xp to spend than you.
untold bolt
OK, I just learned there is a rivalry between the 1st 2 players
@prisma knoll ooooh, member when you could win officer events with just 3 million xp spent? Oooooh, I member!
prisma knoll
I was triggered
merry fulcrum
I remember when I could spend 200k to win
carmine lily
theres also the fact that coiners get lots of xp and such that they can dump at will.
ftp people virtually never get 1st place in those except during the off hours.
olive rover
Only time to get first place is to be less than level 27
merry fulcrum
Levels 24-27
olive rover
Once you hit level 28+ you get thrown in with the level 28s-39s
So it's legit impossible unless you spend to even get 10th
carmine lily
which is ridiculous and part of the reason i'm dealying going to 28
merry fulcrum
Yep, which is stupid, I've already stopped trying to win competitive officer events
carmine lily
probably closer to 50 for me
olive rover
Most of the time it's a waste to try to place in those kind of events
Spreading out your xp for the other events nets more rewards on average
Only reason to place is the lat and rares
merry fulcrum
Only trying to do the limited time officer events that line up with regular officer events
carmine lily
solo events are all we've got. leaderboards are trash, always have ben
olive rover
Leaderboards should always be every 2 levels
Just like the raiding event was last week
carmine lily
i think leaderboards should be same level only
merry fulcrum
Tbh lb gives less uc compared to if you spent the same amount of officer xp on only limited time officer events
olive rover
And for the Leaderboards on the main events...every 2 levels but if they give out BPs change them out for more relevant ships of their level
carmine lily
the big problem is every single leaderboard puts a ton of great stuff at the top, #2 tends to get less than half of that and none of the really good stuff that #1 gets
olive rover
For the level 28-29 Leaderboards in events, the faction 28 BPs would be cool
merry fulcrum
Yeah, i don't need brel bps at level 26
merry fulcrum
NOOOOOOO, they won't give out epic bps like "candy" for 34s+
olive rover
Just 1 print
merry fulcrum
Don't you know it's $copely
merry fulcrum
Lol, then ill take the rare bps, that's more value then 1 epic ship bp
olive rover
merry fulcrum
Yes, ik
untold bolt
Seems the same can be said for the ranked ship event as well. So, bottom line: only do limited officer/station/ship events
olive rover
1 epic print is pretty much the same cost as 5 of the level 32 ships iirc
Limited station event is actually super easy to win
Hope you get one on the off hours for your sever
Save all your docks and platforms
Then speed them all up
merry fulcrum
Pretty much, ship events are the only one where it seems that you get more if you place first in limited time ship event @untold bolt
olive rover
I've only done the officer versions of the ship events
Since they give lat
And officer xp/tokens
dapper drum
LB should be 3 levels up 3 levels down
they have the ability to set it up like that
would also make being in a diverse alliance count for something, someone in your high end of LB would be lower end LB for another member in alliance couple levels up
and could help with interference etc.

dreamy hearth
I have a suggestion for the Devs. Next time you have Swarm event (which is perfectly fine with me) and those events require you to take out Lvl 22 Swarmies for any points. DON'T REDUCE THE SPAWN RATE OR NUMBER OF OF LVL 22 SWARMS. Just a suggestion. Kaiz on my server only has about 5-6 individual swarms. One of which has been looked in the S/W corner for about 5 weeks?? now. Which leaves what 4-5 individual swarms and each of us need what 20 for dailies or 30+ for any payout on the event? Hmmm Math doesn't seem to add up to me.
Again. Just my observation. 🙂
severe bridge
Spawn rate was awful, agreed
dull ibex
Where can I find out information about upcoming events before they start? Learned that you can’t contribute towards alliance events or get rewards from alliance rewards if you join an alliance after the event starts.
simple spear
@carmine lily there's a solo board with millions of par and dozens of uc ore
carmine lily
@simple spear yeah, for mining, which I’m doing already anyway. Just completing my mining dailies gives me nearly enough to finish the solo. It’s a snooze fest.
simple spear
Granted it's not exciting but it's giving massive rewards for something you already are gonna do.
carmine lily
The event options are mining, mining, and mining. Yeah that’s why it’s a throwaway event. No effort required.
Send out miners, wait 2 hours. Recall miners, take rest of day off.
reef adder
I am happy about giving extra ways of getting uncommons NOT tied to leaderboards

That's how I see it. Usually mining rewards are par tokens and some dil tokens. This is way better

unreal fox
1 rare ore in a solo milestone event is a huge bonus... Usually it's always for leaderboard...
Sadly, i only need rare crystals atm so i'm will do nothing with ore (kumari is already T7 and I'm gonna have cent+sally)
<@&509691205798592532> , would it be possible to change rewards from one week to another, as it is pretty much ore-centered? (i'm just proposing 🙃)
Otherwise people will stack huge amounts of Ore, and not a lot of gaz/Crystal which is a huge advantage for Bortas / legionaries compared to saladins and centurions owners
For the swarms events, the rewards were quite diverse in terms of type of g3 materials given... here it is mostly ore
tame pebble
You can get crystals from swarm sunday

They just regurgitated the same message as before, without bothering to update the message.

Why they should, all still spend cash on D'Vor so why bother with it
pearl topaz
I really wish they would open the D’Vor like the Franklin or BB, but it is a great ship for $20.
I get about 6k Lat per month right now. That’s a lot of repairs, ship mats and speed-ups for the money I’ve put into it.

@pearl topaz I am not buying it out of principal as it is behind a pay wall. Personal choice but if they made it FTP I would probably spend 🤑 to upgrade the sucker
pearl topaz
Haha. I hear you, brother. It’s a mistake on their end to charge $20.
floral trail
I'm not rewarding scopely for their greed, if it was made available to all then I'd be happy to support the game
I really don't get their pricing policy when everything costs so damn much to upgrade anyway.
pearl topaz
The 26 Faction Ships were locked behind an insane pay wall for months, so I didn’t get as frustrated about this one.
$20 is a reasonable price for many players. The old mandatory $200 price tag for a faction ship was BS.
latent peak
You think 20$ isn't much but is a strigh way to get us pay for participate in every event which comes in future
You see time will come, mining event pass 19.99$, prime mining event pass 49.99$
pearl topaz
Sorry, man. I don’t follow that. The only thing that not having a D’Vor does on my server is make it more difficult for the solo leaderboard.
However, if players substituted a pirate ship for a lack of D’Vor, I think they would still be competitive.
I don’t see them going to a pay for events model, but anything is possible, I guess.
The free content in this game is pretty good, IMO, and seems to generally improve.
floral trail
Ha yeah, £200 for a faction ship is total BS. Glad they added prints to the store now though I still don't have a level 26 ship since I was halfway to a level 28 ship by the time they added them to the faction store. Only 5 prints away from a Salladin and I already have a Bortas. Oh and even if I wanted to buy a ship for £200 I cant as my store is locked, whats that about?
pearl topaz
We get free Uncommon gas on Sunday, and Uncommon ore on Monday. That’s a huge change from the Spring.
latent peak
You don't see it, remember how it was with augment events when started, with out buying couldn't do it
pearl topaz
Nice, Jim! Sally is well worth the grind.
I went back and got a Legionary when they removed the pay wall.
Augment was free from the beginning. Folks who didn’t want to pay just needed to grind out the 4-6 BPs per day, if they didn’t want to pay.
floral trail
I'll probably get the d3 at some point, but there is so much that faction credits are needed for.
latent peak
Wasn't free from beginning mate, you had to buy or wait days
pearl topaz
And it maybe set the player back a month. It’s not like the troll job that they did with D’Vor in the 30 day chests
floral trail
You could buy the augment prints from the event store yes, but not enough due to the cool down timer
pearl topaz
That’s not F2P when it sets the player back 13-14 months.
latent peak
Look at Franklin, was free to get but is useless without paying or months of grind, really months
floral trail
I cant really see the appeal for the augment ships anyway since you need rare plut to upgrade them above what the normal ships cost. I suppose its a way to get a ship from a faction your hostile with but other than that, they are just re-skinned versions of what we already have.
I don't mind grinding for stuff, 100k FMs from being able to tier mine to T6 and I didn't buy any packs. Its a PITA but at least possible.
pearl topaz
Yeah, the Franklin is a pile of hot garbage until Galaxy Research
So for someone who was already at Level 26 or higher, it was a terrible ship. If you got the ship between level 20-22, it’s probably better through that lens. Now the ship grows somewhat proportional to how Dailies change.
latent peak
Still swarm Sunday rewards should give mod
pearl topaz
Totally agree, man. It’s over 500k per weapon right now for me.
fierce root
Lol where is a good spot for 2 star 3xplorer parts for franklin
pearl topaz
Swarm Sunday should give Mods and Ferengi Monday should give D’Vor BPs.
I just convert Lat, Ninja.

Yeah it gets expensive for a worthless ship lol.
Saving the lat for the more useful ships.🤣
pearl topaz
I would try low faction space, in that case. Maybe even the level 17 Separatist Ships.
Opla might also be a good system

Yeah the Separatist lvl17 explorers are the best place I have found, I just bought parts with dil though 😊

It's not a question of development time. They now have quite a pool of different events that they can (and usually will) recycle until they release new updates (Augment, Lat mining, armadas, swarms, etc)
I don't see why they couldn't give us anything other than domination event, which is not an event and more or less universally hated by everyone. My guess is that they forgot to activate the planned new event.

@median slate so true 🤣🤣
vapid hill
@modest oyster "Clearly we’re getting filler events since whatever planned event armadas based isn’t working correctly."
At most it took a week to cobble together what they rolled out. No surprise nothing else armadas related is forthcoming.
The armadas box no longer says 'coming soon', so they've hit their mark and completed that project.

and they just never stop coming. youd think they would at some point. nope
level 40, level 41 reds, have some kehra bp
carmine quiver
😱😱
shrewd totem
But I guess rate is lower right?
mint adder
theres much higher percentage of sally intrepid gladius, etc...
but still vast majoriy is this junk
(although a kehra might just be better than intrepid)

@mint adder is intrepid really so fucked up?
mint adder
its hot garbage
shrewd totem
Ship balancing coming soon
mint adder
1.2 million well crewed intrepids die to my sally, ok ill buy that. they also die to my bortas. back when it was 725k
they just kinda die on their own. theyre not good grnders, not good base crackers, not good pvp
tame pebble
Lol
mint adder
i just hope the ship balancing is as big a fail as the armadas. I like the way it is now.
shrewd totem
Why? 🤔
shrewd totem
😂
carmine quiver
Oh , havent 🤣
mint adder
bortas is my better ship than my sally. both t8
haven't. yes
if i had i would probably be welcoming rebalance, lol
Sally is not as magical as people say. the magic is having all ship types so whatever comes along you can triangle it. cent works best for sallys, bort works best for brels and enterprises (up to about 1.4 million, when they become untouchable) sally works best for bortas intrepid and augur (up till about 1.4 million, when they become untouchable)
mint adder
Haven't seen the D4 much in action yet. although one did smack my empty base the other day. that guy had a 1.2 million enterprise about 2 weeks ago. now he has 1.9 million enterprise, 1.6 million augur, 1.6 million D4
once you get them to that level you dont even need rebalance
carmine quiver
@mint adder how much sold body parts is needed for a t8 Bortas?
mint adder
@carmine quiver to the parts to t9 it are 770 Rare Ore, 204 Rare Crystal, 1700 UC ore. I dont recall exactly t8 but probably about 450 Rare Ore 100 Rare Crystal 1200 UC ore or something like that
Sally and bort are pretty similar in cost to t8. interestingly, cent gets super expensive getting to t7 instead of to t8 like the other 2
carmine quiver
I am currently at 3x 800 uc ore for my Bortas...2 guns and shields
mint adder
T4 or 5?
mint adder
it is a really good ship. yeah its expensive (in time or $ or combination) but they all are. if i could only keep 1 id keep bort, not sally
but it is nice having all 3
carmine quiver
Grinding for Cent, but havent seen a bp in weeks
mint adder
thats how i got cent. did dual fed and kling (well, after running klingon all the way to 5 million then coming back to do dual) was up to about 60 or 70 bp then they had that event you could get cent bps in the event store
so that ship was free. and bortas was free from kling faction stuff. sally i bought
carmine quiver
We never had that event 🤔
mint adder
it was quite a while ago, ?6 months or more? only once
carmine quiver
Why dont they give us those events 😫😫
mint adder
It was june 28th, just remembered being on backcountry motorcycle trip and having to try to get cell signal in time everyday for the store.
went back and looked at the date on the pictures
yes i wish they would bring those events back too. i would get a rare or epic ship if i could get them free
serene pollen
@carmine quiver Try Lempo (31) for cent bp..
mint adder
Kaisu(33) better if you can do it. but lempo not bad
carmine quiver
Tryed those two and Unrath...gave up after month and a half, went grinding rom rep... have 14k credits
mint adder
kaisu is where i got my most of a ship. probably had 50K hostile kills to get those bp drops
its a very very low drop rate
narrow yoke
Kaisu is pretty good. So is Vendor and the system above that if you can grind there. I did not find Unroth to be that good. Ameria is also pretty good, though more for rep(traders) than bps.

Do you guys the Elite Bat’leth token event should return?

So, it would be really cool if we got another of those faction-hunting events, I forget what they
're called, but since I only need 11 more Bortas prints....
it would just be really nice to get a bunch of Klingon credits somehow.

I'd give you one of mine if I could...I already have a Bortas myself and got a print from killing a few Klingons 👀

small sphinx
More event only wallet warriors can participate in. It's not fair that the only way to build the Armada control center is to spend $99. Scopely is greedy.
hard tartan
@small sphinx it was possible to build the ACC for free during the initial event. You can also join armadas without having an ACC, and defeating armada targets gets you the items requires to build an ACC.
Does no one in your alliance have an ACC? If not, can you have one of your players join a friendly bigger alliance for a day to farm some armada credits?
earnest snow
@potent hound nah, data december, bring back the BB.
small sphinx
If no one in your alliance can afford the Armada and I couldn't get to level 23 till after the event was over and I have the highest level in my alliance I am level 23 and I shouldn't have to leave my alliance where I have developed friendships to be able to do armadas in an alliance that has armadas I still think it's not fair. The Armada event was too short. Inhit level 23 the day after the Armada event was over. @hard tartan
I can only afford to spend $20 a month and maybe a few small shield pack. Here and there it is too much to expect players to spend$99 to be able to takecadvatage of features in this game.
craggy hearth
@small sphinx you can get it from another alliance, then you build the acc and join back ur own alliance
I did that and now my entire alliance above L23 has ACC and we didnt spend a single cent
small sphinx
I could but I shouldn't have too
I am not going to argue with you. I am just saying you should have to leave your alliance to be able to get resources to take advantage of a feature in the game. There should beca way to earn the codes to build the accc
Shouldn't not should
Cores there should be away tonearm the cores
Earn
Fat fingers
small sphinx
I hit level 23 after the event was over
craggy hearth
Ye then better luck next time
Cos my alliance could do that within 3 days of the events launch but I made it a day by doing what I did
earnest snow
@small sphinx I agree with you 100%, the only other option is ask someone who already has it to come to your alliance for a while so you can do armadas with them
craggy hearth
@earnest snow you can go to them or do the event
Theres a reason why its limited to L23s and above
small sphinx
You're missing the point completely my point is we shouldn't have to play Ring around the Rosie and duck-duck-goose switching alliances just to be able to take advantage of a feature in the game they make it so that we can earn it the event was not long enough and then I reached level 23 the day after the event was over so there was no way for me to earn it
craggy hearth
Event to earn the cores ran for a week... @small sphinx
Its your own problem for missing them
small sphinx
Whatever I'm just posting my opinion I don't want yours I just want the devs to know my opinion
hard tartan
The problem is not that it requires youbto pay, the problem is that a lot of content is for higher level players only. If your entire alliance consists of players below level 23, then armadas are not for you.
craggy hearth
@hard tartan well then do explain how you want to hit an armada target without a 100k and above ship which is mostly achieved at L23?
With all the new rnd branch buildings
NS doesnt count since it was intended to be a paid ship
@small sphinx you shld post those opinions in #💬-events-feedback or #💬-general-feedback
shrewd totem
👀
hard tartan
I didn't say it doesn't make sense to restrict it to level 23 and above. I only said that if @small sphinx wants to use armadas (or other content), he should level up more.
craggy hearth
@hard tartan sorry then i mistook your stand
tall trout
Armada restricted to lv23 and above? starting an Armada may be, but even lv18 can participate in Armada attack group
abstract gate
@tall trout that is correct, every level cab participate, but starting an Armada is for lvl 23+
hard tartan
The discussion was around an alliance where only one player is level 23 and everyone else is lower level. They will have a hard time starting armadas (or defeating armada targets, for that matter). So the entire armada content is effectively inaccessible for that alliance.
weak copper
If someone, or even an entire alliance, didn’t meet the eligibility criteria for participating in an event then what do you want Scopely to do? You’ll get it next time or, as pointed out, you can get it now by switching alliance for 8 hours. I can’t really see an issue there
civic vault
@mint adder , those intrepid and Gladius are still low lvl at 1,2 mil-mainly because hull and shield grow faster than weapon dmg.
But they are growing, while lvl 28 ships can't grow no more. And agree, Sally has its weaknesses, like all ships.
merry fulcrum
People just don't know the weakness as much
abstract gate
This is not the last time the Armada events will be available

Yyyyyy where to get rare armada directives
weak jackal
@low berry Currently they drop in the Uncommon Armada pack in the Alliance Store
low berry
Nope not there anymore
tawny kettle
Its not listed but they drop when you buy them
low berry
So 4 days super pack needs to do rare armadas which drop from normal aramadas credits which need normal credits which need normal directives which you cannot@get other then upgrading ac or opening 6 day pack which upgrading needs normal credits and so on
abstract gate
@low berry they were never listed, but they drop. Also, events should be kicking off that will help out with that
hazy storm
@twilit imp so rare station drop, yet rare director are rare as honest politician. Thus I have only 25% of the total need to launch a attack. But let me guess you can buy them for 200 for $40

potent hound
@earnest snow, you get them in the Uncommon Armada Packs in the Alliance Store.
Why would they launch an event that requires you to have an item that very few, if anyone, has?
earnest snow
I meant a guaranteed way, that's random and sometimes you don't get any at all
potent hound
I'm at 55.
earnest snow
I'm at 50, been doing a double pull every day.
potent hound
If no new events pop up in an hour and a half to obtain Rare Directives, this will be considered another fail. Somebody should also get fired.
lament prawn
so let me see if i understand this coreectly. I'm to spend 100 bucks on 1000 rare directives which lets me launch 5 rare armadas. the rewards from those armadas are half of the same level unc armada i might add. with that 5 hopefully completed aramadas i will have enough for 2 chests which will grant me between 20-80 unc and maybe a couple bp for a ship i may already have/not want.
vapid hill
@potent hound it’s already considered a failure. Total turd bomb.

why should i bother? I could just buy the ship bp pack of the ship i want and get more unc and save 2 hours of my life

I ALMOST called it. i said they would wait for everyone to burn up their armada directives for nothing and then put on even and sell Super Duper Special Armada derectives pack. I did not give them full credit for their evilness, new type of directvies in super dooper pack so saving up didnt matter. Hope no one is buying this bs.

Was kinda funny as someone screwed up and put cadet kirk instead of epic as reward....there was a 💩 storm here

if people want to throw money at this it would be more economical to buy the mats and ship bp directly in packs than get the rare armada slot machine tokens
abstract gate
@mint adder I agree
solid rampart
Something is wrong with the armadas now. My alliance just had multiple armadas going at the same time and the strongest ships from all the active armadas were included in every single armada even if they weren’t physically there and they bumped the people who were there and received the credit. @twilit imp

When Do you think it became more profitable for the armadas over the swarm because now 99.9% of the swarm has disappeared and can’t be found even though Scopely said they are here to stay? and if it’s a server problem why don’t they put it on a separate server so that they have enough power because I know they have enough money!

Scopley makes us pay for everything now ?also for playing events i tell you one thing my bank is closed for ever for Scopley🤣

think scopelys outright greed will end up destroying their revenue long run

Not their greed. Their stupidity and terribly planned events etc. people will pay and play for cool l stuff. Ferengi and Turdmadas is total shit.
mint adder
i have still yet to refine a single batch of lat
winged tulip
I don't understand the thought process here. Either armadas is a common occurrence, directives are easy to come by, give minimal rewards, and daily events make sense, or they're rare, take a long time per armada for good rewards, but then daily events make no sense
vapid hill
Not even any story content or missions with armadas. How hard would that be? Notnhard at all.
mellow aurora
But my question was about the swarm has anybody else noticed that the swarm ships have gone away 99.9%
We all know Scopely is just a big lead list Jabba the Hutt
Oops sorry they are just a big fat Java the hut
You’ know voice recognition those who know me know I only have arm that work so I got Mr. flopping on the left side and I use voice recognition and I have to fix everything and sometimes things don’t get fixed because I don’t think it’s wrong or changes at the very last second when I send it
But I digress my questions about was about the swarm

They could make so much more cash from this game , if they acutely made good playable content. The number of ppl playing would be 5-10 times higher. But the ppl behind seems to be👺

Gets 100million in funding. Spends $100 of it on guys who can't code. Pockets the rest.
stray tide
They need to update game more often, more content to keep ppl in game. The game ideally for small group content/alliance content, but first time they come with something that smells a little of grp content, you need stupid fk directives.
Still have 50 k ELite Bath leth tokens, havent seen the event store open for half a year
