@vapid hill after that it was time for apple juioce, graham crackers, and nap time in the volunteer coders kindergarten class
they will fix the armadas after nap, recess, and making macaroni sculptures
the accounting department however is 50,000 professionals strong.
vapid hill
LOL. Probably just one smart guy and his laptop. Hiring coders for a day once a month off fiverr. Because they ain't paying the coders more than $5 per gig. Obviously.
mint adder
the 1 year for armadas was the time to find someone that said theyd do it for 5 bucks
and they did. sort of
steep stream
I look at it that the spends and events this week just aren't for me.
Armadas aren't bad, I enjoy the addition. But substantial completion of the events aren't huge rewards that will drastically improve my QoL. And I don't feel the undeniable urge to pay 99.99 for 5 armada chances and a chance at a few ship BPs. Would rather buy a prime research, character badges, or ship BPs.
I will be more than happy to wait for the initial onslaught of rare targets and events go by and then just complete some in quiet times as I get enough directives
quasi lion
The event is a total money grab by scoply. It would take $300 minimum to complete the current events ......
steep stream
But.... I don't really feel like (this time) that I am missing out on a lot by sitting on the sidelines. Can't always say that (like BB, Franklin, or D'vor...)
alpine yoke
I'm mostly annoyed cause I'd hoped for a faction event this week and instead it's gonna be 6 days of...this

True, the loss is that we could have some different event.

Or something that they uc/r payouts are so good that you feel bad if you leave anything on the table (i.e. separatists)

Yes more mining!!!

Oh come on, to be fair, some things are improving.
Weekly Swarm and Latinum rush on set days were a long overdue improvement

I can get on, set a miner, then get off, and get rewarded

@steep stream yeah, at least we can now count on them and prepare

And they are steady rewards

Don't have Franky so I can't agree. My Vahklass dies easily xD

With all the different stuff they have now, we need more of that
trim finch
they need to have events that give modulators.
alpine yoke
I have to use my D3 but the tri rewards still outweigh the cost. Only thing I really lose is repair speedups
@trim finch agreed, but seems like they won't until people stop buying them
steep stream
@abstract gate I do it with my Sally, long way from my Franklin killin' 30s...
trim finch
i havent bought any, but its like 20 bucks for 75k mods, and my ship needs like a million to tier up. who would pay that
steep stream
Yeah, the "catch up" curve on leveling the ACC was MUCH better than the Franklin or D'vor. Don't know what they were thinking there...
alpine yoke
the $99 packs give 1.2m but even that is pretty paltry at higher tiers
trim finch
i havent even built the acc lol
merry fulcrum
Nice
steep stream
I am almost at 29 (my max) and only bought in at the beginning to build it quick. Rest has been core chests and armada chests

i tiered up my ops from 27 to 28 after having everythign else built, but dont wanna level up my op yet. cant built it without claiming the upgrade

It's like the made the Franklin parts work like they would need to if you got it in the teens and were leveling slowly (which most aren't)

small chance to get 5 to 15 in uncommon chest

Nicely done then, thanks Scopely 😂
dapper drum
they can't give away such valuable items for free all the time
they have to balance out with their giveaways on youtube streams any profit loss there
earnest snow
@trim finch actually you can. I did the same thing. You can instant build it with Latinum. Not much point though as you won't be able upgrade it without spending yet more Latinum each time and eventually even that stops being an option.
And launching a 2 person armada costs the same as launching a bigger one when you've upgraded it so why waste the directives on a small 2 person one when you don't need too.
split plover
The third payers only event in a row
sharp ibex
make rare stations truly rare perhaps
it's easier to find rare stations then uncommons
I am looking for uncommon and only find rares 😛
boreal pawn
@ionic prism yeah you can but as prince stated, only through uncommon packs. I thought I heard chests from uncommon armada targets would drop them, but no one in my alliance has had such luck.
If your not spending then it could take as long as 3 weeks to get enough rare directives to call a rare armada.
So the alliance event, the rare armada targets event, the call rare armadas event, basically pony up the dough or you will have 0 input in those events
Oh and caution, 100 bucks just gets you enough for 5 rare armadas! Your servers whales will likely try to steal your target, so if you do spend, save em for after the event lol too precious to have stolen lol
abstract gate
@deep delta do not spam multiple channels with the same post
winged tulip
They're trapped by their own design. If rares were rare they wouldn't sell packs, if uncommons were common then no one would bother pvping over them. It all needs a rethink!
delicate phoenix
@panic do you all even look at the emoji responses for your announcements? Your have more negative than positive for the stupid expensive rare armadas.
sharp ibex
those reactions are useless
coz the negatives can have many reasons, not just that annoucement itself
but also coz they are spammed with negatives from people coz they are negative in general about it and will try to bash everything down
shrewd totem
@delicate phoenix they even give negative respons to Mod announcements
sharp ibex
or spam q&a's
winged tulip
Tbh because it's not more mods the discord needs, it's more interaction with scopely. Right now we're just shouting into the void.
sharp ibex
I think I've been saying that more then often
delicate phoenix
Ok how's this the rare armadas are overpriced for the rewards and I won't spend a dime on them. All scopley wants is money.

I know it might be wrong to say, but why don't you folks just quit instead of always threatening with it ?

Rare armadas are a resounding success on our server 😂 this screenshot is taken shortly before the event finished.

Clearly you’re still in the preparing phases of Armadas
vapid hill
"just ask the people on low activity servers how they feel about their enviroment

Except it's obviously not, as scopelyis happy to starve many many many many many servers of new players to watch them dwindle and die. No new money coming in with that BRILLIANT strategy.

Congratulations I never thought I would say this but I actually miss the mining events

I'm on the server in the screenshot just above. In that alliance. Our alliance did a lot of armada's yesterday - just not the rare ones. We've got plenty of players who aren't shy of spending on the game but so far nobody has bought the packs with Rare Directives.

So armadas suck...

Maybe you need to prepare some more 😂
dapper drum

Wait for epic armada events, it will be EPIC 😂
inland shoal
The rare armadas really suck. If you take into account how difficult it is to get the directives, that they cost double, are harder, yield les tokens etc I estimate that they are at least 30 it es harder than regular armadas. However, the rewards seem far awa from being 30 times as good, assuming that the chance to actually get a full ship will be pretty exactly zero, as it is to be expected from scopely

So there's this armada event going on but we can barely find any freaking armadas to attack! Thanks for dangling the carrot in front of us.

they've all converted to rare and no one has the directives to play them.

Armadas is a big disappointment.
merry fulcrum
Oops put oof instead of 100
inner loom
Mostly, yes. It’s another event mechanism and I do like variety. But there’s really not much gained by doing them. I kind of like how we can kill another alliance armada and take over with our own, defending against the alliance we just killed. It would be more fun if there were useful rewards that went along with it
earnest depot
Except when the disruptor has max sally and Harrison and you pretty much can’t do jack! Flush your directives right down the toilet
carmine lily
we've disrupted a couple, it sparks extreme rage wars every time. busted up a rare one and got threats of personal bodily harm and lawsuits.

Lawsuits lol One of ours (for getting raided a lot) said she was going to call the cops on us for stalking and harassing her. We laughed loudly.
carmine lily
yup they threatened to pay someone to hack my account to find out my personal info to file a lawsuit then come and beat me up.
got screenshots of all of it and sent to support.

I end up with 60 to 80 extra 30 min speedups left over
so repairs and speedups isn't an issue

tier 5 MF would probably be better then kumari at traders
explorers are little bit better at traders
shrewd totem
I can test but too focused on armadas rn
dapper drum
for all 50 traders takes me around 9 to 10 ships if I'm lazy and go for 35's too
430k cent and 430k sally
shrewd totem
I am planning to max it asap
dapper drum
then work towards triple faction stactic at 1.1m
shrewd totem
Yep
mint adder
Lol
mint adder
Max 2 then do 3rd wtf
dapper drum
not if you are not gonna spend
shrewd totem
I only need to be able to mine that is enough credits at max rep
shrewd totem
Yea
abstract gate
That's true
dapper drum
if you get 2 to 6m you can then run them down while building up 3rd and they will meet just above 1m
then you have triple daily factions that stay static
and are super easy
olive rover
You're level 27 right batman?
abstract gate
I do hope they make a threshold from it somehow to not let locked reps move under 10 mil
@shrewd totem never too late mate
dapper drum
once I get my sally and cent tiered up more I'm pushing to 6m on fed and rom then will push kling upto 1m while dropping them and will run triple faction dual tier dailies and rep events until I die
olive rover
I think there might be 2 tiers where there could be double dailies...we'll see. 2m and 5m it increases yet the same tier
dapper drum
nothing like lvl 33 ships for easy creds
beats lvl 39 ships for a mere 40 more creds a day
olive rover
I just hit 2m like an hour ago
Gonna try to hold my rep around this tier, below 5m ideally.
dapper drum
can you do lvl 37 faction ships?
shrewd totem
@abstract gate I can try but will take at least a few months with my laziness
olive rover
It goes up to 34/35 don't it at 2m...?

@shrewd totem I was over 5 mil Klingon before doing dual Klingon fed
Did not take long to get them equal and dual

@shrewd totem just hit traders mate, you'll be there in 2 weeks tops

@dapper drum but I can only kill 1-2 lvl 34 I think
Will test when I am at home
Now give me good crew for Mf and Kum
dapper drum
Kirk with sulu, and if not going for interceptors use scotty for extra hull, unless they are wrecking your shields then use spock
kumari just load up with nero crew, nero livis kumak
or bones with a kinetic booster and carol
shrewd totem
Will hit only traders
I use Kumak as cap,Nero and Livis on kum
Mf Shield doesnt get depleted
abstract gate
No no no noooo. Cadet crew for grinding hostiles. Cad Uhura as captain, Cad Kirk and Chen for traders
shrewd totem
I use that already
abstract gate
Don't hit 34s... Focus on traders that you can kill easily
shrewd totem
On Mf

Like 20-30 per run. More efficient

Will change that if Gala locks all the board people in a room till they give everyone enough rare directives for 1 startup 👀

Yes cadets for grinding. Not epic crews ffs
And nero crew cleans the toilets. Useless for anything else
dapper drum
nero with kumak and livis kills 30% more then cadet crew on battleship
sometimes 50% more if you get enough burns
shrewd totem
I will test both
dapper drum
only thing I ever use cadet crew for now is secondary officers on my miners
and most are maxed

I use cadets for swarm

And Nero

livis is 3

nero is 2

kumak is 3
I run kras and chang with vemet and mara as support crew on kumari
cadet probably seem trash because of low officer stats
can't get a g3 ship boosted properly

shrewd totem
Abilities>stats
dapper drum
not if they are only giving you a 50% boost on the ship
when another crew is 90/100/90
abstract gate
Mine are so terrible I don't even want a screenshot in my phone xD
dapper drum
also have to be ready to PvP and cadet/academy crew is not good for that
unless you go around playing the game like Farmville 😂
warped stag
Glory in the Kill crew for pvp, also in std recruit shards. They do well enough for being generic.
dapper drum
yep they can piss off a lot of people if used right 😂
but if you use generic crews like enterprise or nero you can do PvP and PvE at wimb
modest oyster
would be great if they atleast put some rare directive in the other packs..
or made the rare directive pack have some ummm.. RARE MATS
warped stag
@modest oyster I don’t know what level you are but there are rare materials in rare armada chests.
I’m lvl 32. For reference.
modest oyster
I meant in the packs (purchased), TO DO rare armadas.
Since it's currently gated as pay to participate (rare armadas)
abstract gate
Seeing as the only players competing in the rare armada category are spenders scopely probably figures they'll buy rare materials in other packs too...notice this is one of the few event cycles to not feature rare materials as rewards? 100% done with this greedy assed garbage developer
modest oyster
My fleet is usually heavy on spenders (we are top fleet on server by a far margin) but I've never seen spending this low.
Our players dropped far more on the D'vor launch lol
warped stag
Aah, I see now.
modest oyster
I hope Scopely realizes this and changes something since they have to be measuring all time low participation in rares. Uncommons seem fine as is...
warped stag
True. I haven’t taken part in a rare armada, yet.
abstract gate
Participation in uncommons will drop off soon...the wise saved their directives knowing there'd be a new round of this bs
winged tulip
Yeah i saved detectives from last event till now. Spent a bit, realised i won't get enough directives to do a single rare with everything I've saved, can't be bothered now. Uncommon rewards are bad, rare directives too slow to attain, which makes rare armadas too slow to do and rare packs a once every few months thing.
hollow oriole
Don't forget getting those once every few months rare boxes, and getting prints for a ship you already bought
winged tulip
Yup - I've nearly the credits to buy rom faction miner, and i just know what bps I'll get in next rare chest already!
prisma knoll
Has anyone gotten a full ship from the reward chests?
winged light
Pls give us!!! 1- Fractured Empire/Separatist 2- Faction Hunt 3- Swarm

It’s not 0.1% worse than that 0.0000000000001

Not that many.We are only 4th in power
prisma knoll
Yikes our Alliance only finished with 1400 lol
hybrid ibex
lol, the rare Armadas alliance board pays out up to 25th place. last round only 7 alliances participated. This event is dead....
shrewd totem
We had 12 alliance yesterday and 14 today
hybrid ibex
I had hoped they would put on something else for the weekend. Armadas is an abject failure.
I assume you have at least 100 active alliances? @shrewd totem
shrewd totem
Nah.Prob 50-60
hybrid ibex
Thats not a good participation rate for an event. considering that within the participating alliances not everyone had the opportunity to do an Armada
Are we even looking at 1% of active players participating in Armadas?
I would be surprised if the number was even that high.
hybrid ibex
paricipation in uncommon armadas is better. But that will drop off too as the source of regular directives runs out as players finish levelling up their control centres.
winged tulip
Yup. Pretty amazed that there's been no commitment to change/improve this following such an unpopular launch
hybrid ibex
Armdas has killed itself by limiting directives to such an absurd extent.
Uncommon directives will run out and the source of F2P rares will dissapear entirely. Surely someone at Scopely ran the numbers.
shrewd totem
@hybrid ibex not gonna run out,but will become less frequent
hybrid ibex
Well effectively run out. If you can only get them on levelling up your ACC. In the mid 20s upwards it takes over a month to progress through the levels. Thats pretty infrequent Armada playing for something that was so heavily advertised in game for a year.
Its pretty sad how ill thought out the whole thing was.
merry fulcrum
@prisma knoll since when?
prisma knoll
Well it’s useless until it hits tier 7/8
shrewd totem
T6
winged tulip
2 uncommon armada a week odd, to get directives for one rare armada every few months, to get credits for one rare pack once or twice a year. Nothing in the uncommon pack so far has been worth the effort so far apart from rare directives, tempting to just skip the entire thing
shrewd totem
@hybrid ibex you can get 15 directives from dailies.Not a good amount but better than 0
hybrid ibex
Ah yes I forgot, so we are looking at approx 1 Armada per week plus 1 bonus one per month (on average) when you upgrade your ACC. @shrewd totem
winged tulip
15 credits a day + 100 a week buying with alliance credits + some rarely from upgrading acc
shrewd totem
So 2 per week?
8 per month
Lets say you get very lucky so 8×35=270 rare directives from unc packs
1 rare per month
hybrid ibex
Assuming you get enough alliance credits to buy 1 per week
winged tulip
If you're extremely lucky maybe yeah. So far I've got 80 rare directives and that's after doing a lot of armadas from leveling acc to 24 and the initial build event
hybrid ibex
this is assuming opening a chest per day. takes 22 days or 22 double chests per 200 rare credits
spiral forge
Really i like the armada things, it is fun to interact that way with our alliance, and the pvp aspect could be fun. BUT, two really bad points : 1) not enough UC targets, during the event is kind of annoying as you keep seeking it all day long, 2) you cant make rare without paying, and the rare armardas pack is really really too expansive. 100€ for 5 rare target? No seriously? So at the moment, we see plenty of rare targets and no uncommon one, which is kind of strange isnt it?
shrewd totem
Unc are there too,but most people kill them fast because they cant kill rares.So when 1 respawns it is prob killed in 5 mins.But other than that agree with you @spiral forge
spiral forge
yes, so there is not enough UC target for the actual event, make this event kind of dead and pain in the a**.
hybrid ibex
While I'm complaining about events...... What are peoples thoughts on the Ferengi mining event being a weekly thing. I know @twilit imp promised that there would be other ways for free to play players to get the D'vor besides the loyalty chest. But no sign of that yet.
shrewd totem
@hybrid ibex Panic wont be on today and weekend
But ask your question when you see him.Because I also want to know when
hybrid ibex
Will do.
I dont anticipate it will be anytime soon considering we are waiting more than six months for the availability of the hijacked ships.
They appeared in one event where you couldnt possibly get enough trophies to buy enough BPs and they were never to be seen again. I bet the guys who wasted those event trophies were annoyed.
fringe owl
Yes I am.
smoky cosmos
Thats why the company is named scamely.....
There are many broken armada's on our server.
hybrid ibex
I thought the broken Armadas would be fixed with the update earlier in the week but they werent.
smoky cosmos
Nope on server 131 many broken armadas
latent peak
To the time got collected 200 rare directives, because the uncommon armada chest is already nerfed, 5 in 2 chest, all rare armadas will be buged
merry fulcrum
At level 38 you can get 100 rare armada directives in a single uncommon armadas chest 😂🤣
steep stream
@hybrid ibex it looks like all your comments about rare armadas only assume you get credits for armadas you kick off. In general every armada a player kicks off also provides the same credit benefit to 3-4 other alliance mates without them spending directives
Still pretty slow, but I guess they are figuring better to ramp up (or use scarcity to monetize early) than to have to pull back
Theoretically this model can be used for other things in events, pvp, and even story missions so being cautious may actually be the best bet. The rewards and progress dont wow me, but its additive to what I am already doing, not replacing or overwhelming so it feels harmless if nothing else...
hybrid ibex
Yeah I was factoring that in. An average of 1.1k credits per Armada with a quid pro quo one for one with alliance mates. @steep stream
Allowing 1 off 2.2k credits for a double crate open
steep stream
But I meant being able to kick them off. To me it's not 2 regular armadas per week it's more like 8 per week
steep stream
Just because of our alliance comp, I tend to walk away with 1k per
Not sure what you mean. I am looking at if I do dailies and buy from store, I can guaranteed get 200 directives per week for now on.
But I bring 3 others to that (and they bring me to theirs).
So while I can guarantee kicking off 2 a week, it is likely that I can participate in 8 per week - initial rush aside
hybrid ibex
I was basing it off our own group. Bringing lower players along and things like that means that im only getting 2 meaningful Armadas per 1 that I initiate.
steep stream
See our lower guys love to kick off something over their head and have me help
Biggest constraint there has been low ACC and too few ship slots
steep stream
And since credit division seems to be based on damage done, I always walk away with the highest percentage of credits
hybrid ibex
There is the odd mega chest aswell. But they kinda cancel with failed Armadas.
steep stream
I stay away from event times like now, but outside event demand, it has been rare for me to have a failed armada
Also try to stick to early mornings.
We've gotten a good sense of what % of the target total we need for a solid win
hybrid ibex
Anyone know how the targeting is done. You can have 4 ships with similar strength with 3 barely damaged and 1 blown up.

royal horizon
ou get rare credits for participating, the problem is getting the rare directives, i am getting 10 rare directives in 2 chest uncommon armada with unc armada credits, am now up to 75 rare directives and it takes 200 directives to start one. The only way to get them is to make a purchase, so once again they have made it impossible for f2p players to aquire enough directives to start a rare armada until waiting a very long time
steep stream
@hybrid ibex pretty sure it randomly targets ships in the armada for each attack - no specific logic to it
royal horizon
we have started a new ream and have 11 great people on it, however only one has been able to make the purchase so we could participate in this event
team
100 directives was hard enough to gather but not impossible
echo dune
First Ferengi miner now rare armadas ... it’s like they want to find breaking points for people. It’s the gaming community keeping people playing rather than Scopely who seem determined to make people want to throw in the towel if they don’t have cash to throw at the game.
royal horizon
if we could at least put our directives together we would have enough for 1, lol
modest oyster
??
Lol wtf
Worse value than the 99 pack (that almost no one is buying) is somehow supposed to make us want to buy it for 19?
To do one rare?
modest oyster
11k less latinum
And the uncommon, reloc tokens and repairs
@merry fulcrum scopely traditionally makes every bigger pack more valuable in all mats
This would be the exception. Hence my pointing it out.
merry fulcrum
True, but in the directives themselves
modest oyster
Btw your math is wrong lol

I guess if you don’t like uncommon directive, latinum, uncommon g3, reloc tokens, repair speed ups the new pack is pretty cool.
merry fulcrum
Lol, if you don't like the important stuff

How scopely tells their customers they care? Biggest Go to hell. I have ever seen a gaming company pull against their customers. Just WoW !!!
modest oyster
I guess when everyone was complaining about mining events they thought, let’s show these folks how much they should appreciate those events!
fierce token
If anyone thought they cared about anything but money now you can spend 27.99 in 5 seconds worth of content.
And get a chance reward.... Grats scopely. My wallet is now and forever closed. Should be fun to see how many quit over your greed. Best of luck.
hollow oriole
lots are quitting and not spending, thats why they are just now putting out these smaller packs - because their sales of the $100 are low so they are trying to entice more
fierce token
And this is a mining event. Except scopely is the one doing the mining. And it’s our bank accounts their mining.
And why would anyone play/support a game that has such terrible content and pay through the nose for nothing. There is going to be a waiting list for miles at the refund department at this rate. Best Game Ever!

Uncommons are fine on my server.
They're not making as much from this even as every other event. Some gusy are blowing cash but there isn't 'spending' going on.

Spend $20 per rare armada in order to get really low end rewards? No thank you.

Armadas as a whole are dead, everyone has run out of directives by now and nobody really cares anymore.

But I really need that one unc crystal though
I’ve seen events flop, the d’vor one was pretty close to a flop but it had rewards. This one is epic
And they’re going to do epic armadas next? If no one cares about rares wow, wait til epic
carmine lily
there's no motivation. Rewards are absolute minimum directives are nonexistent and content is boring.
dull pagoda
The top spending group here might have like 1500 points towards rare event
So maybe one guy bought a pack, normally they spend a ton
I really like waiting around 15 minutes and searching for an hour tho
I’ve been begging for that feature
Oh wait, that’s called actually raiding a base and getting something from it

When even the whales won’t buy 1 pack each. You know it’s close to midnight on this game

I've done basically the same thing. so bored just using them for testing. at this point almost no one is doing armadas anymore so there's no competition

must be nice to not have broken armada targets 😒

Working hard or Hardly working?
I prefer the former, but I think the latter is closer to the truth. Considering the trash known as Armadas is going.
Pretty sure some mod will point out it's digit or scopely or yet another department. But really as a player I don't care which departure is in charge plain truth is they effed up and the community is fed up.

Performing swarm dailies is impossible. 40 plus people chasing the one swarm spawn that is in the entire system. Ridiculous.
carmine lily
@midnight pelican hostile spawns are borked differently from server to server. swarms are perfectly fine on ours, it's hostile dailies that are near impossible with only one hostile in a system.
it's a widespread problem with hostile spawns that needs fixing, happened with the latinum addition so they know where to look at least.

Scopely- Proof you can be completely incompetent at your job, and still make bank💵

mining would be quite a step up from armada events. I've almost no event rewards all week, and event rewards are a large percentage of my 3* production for a week. At least we still had the swarm event today

It is a pity that the developers pretend that they do not understand what problems the players are talking about. They care only one thing, fill their pockets with money as much as possible. Players leave the game, and they pretend that they sincerely do not understand what is wrong. It's even funny to watch it...

@crisp jasper I agree completely. My 3* production has taken a significant hit because of armadas and none of the tradition events that they have had dialed in. But determining how to maximize profit off of armadas is most important

The armada events should be shorter in nature. Unless you are a whale alliance, you are not doing armadas 24/7 as you do not have the directives. If you want to do longer armada events, the directives need to be easier to come by

XD
That's all I need

yeah, we often get a team together before we launch, and if someone is too late to call out we usually give him/her a spot on the next one

Well since Armadas came out there is a lot of Armada based spam in my alliance chat, I just cant be dealing with it; its hard to keep up with 70 odd people trying to play this car wreak. Much more fun to smash peoples bases than even bothering with an Armada. The Armada spawns are usually taken before I can setup a group so I am better just starting one and seeing who turns up.
dapper drum
no I get them plenty
and I don't need a 4th or 5th horizon
or 6th
hitting lvl 33-35 traders
winged tulip
I get about 1 bortas bp a week killing 32-34 bs and traders for dailies
unreal fox
@winged tulip i used to... + 1 hz bp every two or three days, but currently it seems that i have no luck...
Or like @median slate suggest, drop rates have been reduced, no idea if it's true or not, i'll see in a few more weeks in order to have a "statistical truth" ^^
winged tulip
Well it's still silly tbh, by the time i kill enough Klingons to get a full bortas I'll be high enough level to be looking at an intrepid instead
Same reason the delay with hijacked ships was so annoying - got some bps from event, now so much time has passed they'll only ever be built for completionist sake as I've outlevelled them
unreal fox
Yeah, i don't really farm for the bortas... I farm to equilibrate my reputation, mainly
I'd prefer a good legio than struggling to have a Bortas out of loot chests
@median slate that's exactly what i'm doing with romulans
I've got a few centurion bps, that helps a bit
winged tulip
I'm fed/rom - sooner or later I'll kill some feds to balance rep but not farming more than i need. Bored killing triangles, and better be something good coming soon to stop me spending my money on diablo 4 and overwatch 2 instead!
I've got sally and cent, got credits to buy legionary but holding out for faction miner instead. Although I'm sure if i get it i know what will drop in the first rare chest i open..
unreal fox
@median slate i'm rom/fed with 200k more rom reputation, so i mix klingons with a bit of romulans and it's perfect... I still haven't got all the bps for both so all good, i still have about 1 month of dailies for the missing bps (i've taken about 3 months to have fed's reputation back into positive)
@winged tulip horizon bps will drop in the first rare chest 😂 and vahklas/kumari will drop in the loot chests 😂 sad but true^^
winged tulip
I'm lvl31 - faction miners and 32 ships only in my chest 😁
modest oyster
So still nothing on the fact some people have their Bonus Rare Armadas pack gone and others still have it?
winged tulip
Who is buying enough armada packs to even need the bonus rare?
unreal fox
@modest oyster no idea, i never opened a rare armada pack, no rare directives 🤣 this event is a total waste (for p2w alliances only...)
tawny coyote
@twilit imp <@&509691205798592532> I would like to suggest that we get more mission added to the game. The armada is okay not the greatest thing we have in the game. But it is time we get missions. We need to be able to do more than just mining ⛏, killing swarm ship, and armada. We need to have a interactive game. Please provide mission that don’t take from players resources or ask players to destroy 2,000,000 plus ship unless you give us the ability to attack those ship with multiple ship or players. Give us something more.
shrewd totem
Maybe soon?
ebon galleon
Soon soon or more soonish soon?
wise ibex
any ideas what event will start today?
abstract gate
No sorry... Nothing was mentioned
winged tulip
How often is anything mentioned in advance? New packs for sale? 😂
abstract gate
Nope 😂😂😂😂

@winged tulip best way to get BPs is to grind out the Alliance Reputation Event. It requires some raiding to get enough raw materials but I am getting ~200 faction credits (FED/KLG) from doing those on top of my regular dailies. Took me a long time, but much quicker than trying to farm hostiles and I have a Bortas and a Saladin on the way.
Oh and also you get ~1000 odd credits dailiy when they run the Faction Hunt event, probably the best event going for credits and officer XP.
Contrast this to killing hostiles, I have been almost exclusively grinding Roms and have 3 Cent BPs and 2 Gladius BPs.
merry fulcrum
It's a shame that the rare armadas weren't easier to get
alpine jetty
That’s all we find but no one has directives to start now
Please let them cancel armadas early and have a faction hunt
winged tulip
Yeah I'm doing the daily spend resources missions already and agreed farming bps is crap - here's hoping they do a faction hunt again soon cough cough HINT HINT

When does this round of Armada events end?

Nov 1

Nooo!!!’

Like the lat rush event???

When those armadas events end?
shrewd totem
1st of Nov @halcyon patio

Not soon enough

End this bs already...if other servers are like mine almost nobody is buying your sh@#ty directives packs. Swing and a miss on every front

@abstract gate its the bomb dude, got 6 enterprise bps already 😮

Tbf, the rare armada chests are sweet. Only problem is most people can’t get them.

I am on 386 credits for a week now 🤣

Heh more news on armadas that we already know - keep polishing that 💩 I'm sure it'll shine soon
hearty eagle
@echo parrot Hi thaderos lol. Let some armada to other of our mates :). I hope you do not buy the pack ^^
echo parrot
I didnt haha @hearty eagle
dense lantern
Oh great, more armada events, i love armada events... not.💩 💩 💩
pearl topaz
Rare Armada chests have the illusion of being awesome. Most of the ones our guys have opened have been a let down.
We have to kill at least two 7mil targets to get one chest, so they certainly aren’t worth $40 compared to what you can get from another pack.
echo parrot
we did a 32, everyone opened a box
pearl topaz
Nice. We’re not there quite yet. I would still recommend to our guys to buy a Prime research before they wasted $100 on Armadas
echo parrot
without buying a pack btw
I see them as a long term bonus after opening uncommon boxes
pearl topaz
Yeah. F2P, they are nice. Almost like a 15-20 Day chest. I should be able to open a couple more Rares per month, since I don’t get pushed out of our Armadas.
echo parrot
this was my best https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/632152510152310784/638696398883127306/Screenshot_2019-10-29-12-11-14-193_com.scopely.startrek.png
winged tulip
Yeah they're not awful as a bonus every few months but you can't have 2 weeks of daily rare events for something that rare
echo parrot
opened 4 boxes, two times 3 enterprise, 1 augur
abstract gate
And if you manage to luck out and get a full epic unlock as f2p? Gl swimming against the tide with that anchor tied to your feet
tame pebble
What was new in the in-game announcement?
shrewd totem
@tame pebble systems of rare armada targets
reef adder
Yeah, can't afford to upgrade that shiny new ship
latent peak
Nooo not end this great event, im almost there to start one rare, 180/200 rare directives maybe 2 more days 😂 😂
gentle pulsar
next week, epic armada ....🤢 😂
tame pebble
@shrewd totem isnt it a bit late to announce that?
winged tulip
Would you like to poke the person responsible severely with a cluestick?
shrewd totem
No
abstract gate
O.o it is a game mate...
queen fog
So did the devs backtrack on "Ferengi Mondays" being a thing? Did they announce something about it, or are they just trying to cover up their previous announcement (that got deleted)?
queen fog
I read that announcement.
It doesn't answer my question, though.
Originally Ferengi Mondays was announced as a weekly reoccuring event.
Is it no longer a weekly reoccurring event? But just part of the standard themed events that we get occasionally without a set schedule?
shrewd totem
@queen fog it is weekly,but Devs removed it because of the high amount of events right now,but they turned it back on after seeing feedback
queen fog
I see. Thank you for the quick and informative reply.
shrewd totem
Np 🖖
winged tulip
So they do see feedback, and have consciously decided not to change rare armadas to make them more friendly to f2p..
shrewd totem
Maybe they will change some stuff?
@median slate can you mine 3g if all of your ships are busy with armada?
queen fog
You proved his point. It's not possible to have all your ships busy with armada due to lack of directives.
Don't know if you can buy them in the shop ofc.
shrewd totem
I think that is how Devs see us.Doing armadas will all of our ships
floral trail
@shrewd totem Its easy to mine G3 while not doing armadas. Its hard to raid while my miners are busy though
abstract gate
Anyone using all ships to do armadas is actively screwing over their alliance mates...I'd kick that greedy s.o.b if it happened in my alliance
echo parrot
yes, we are so dumb that we use all our ships at once on multiple weak armadas
instead of one after another with our strongest ships against stronger targets
🤦🏽
shrewd totem
@median slate of course my opinion.I would mention it if it was from Devs
There is prob another year for PvP armadas
1 year for PvE and 1 year for PvP,sounds good
tame pebble
This game wont last that long
shrewd totem
Who knows.Maybe it will because of the changes coming soon?
tame pebble
if rev is not excited by the upcoming changes, i doubt that i will like them much
echo parrot
not excited isnt the same as upset
echo parrot
not even close, they are literally different meanings
shrewd totem
If anyone except CMs promised something I wouldnt believed them
abstract gate
@shrewd totem hello any news on the bug regarding the bostile in kepler ? I'm still waiting someone to correct that issue 😕 😕 😕 😕
shrewd totem
Devs still working on it sorry

You only got around 50m par which I couldnt spend anyway

tbh i'm not really upset with armadas, just disappointed. it's actually be reasonably good at getting our alliance to actually do things together, so there's that.
abstract gate
🤔
We already had 1 person satisfied with armadas. Quota is filled, please refrain from further enjoyment before next content patch.

Did you read,he said disappointed
shrewd totem
@abstract gate you will be,but not now because you are newbie

Talk the salary with Panic later
