I need 13 warp range and with Scotty maxed i reach 11 so can't go in lower systems.... 😱
I can't move the base
halcyon patio
That's it? Only this crap event for anniversary?
near vector
Please upgrade just for the event the warp range
violet arch
@twilit imp There has not been an event giving uncommon crystal for a very long time. The anniversary event is horrible. Just run some classic events such as faction or klingon separatists, etc
@twilit imp and how about a real loyalty gift for players who have been here since the beta days
cloud bobcat
@severe bridge you didnt buy the upgraded answer pack
worn hill
Boost the warp range for the realta to 18 so we can get our realtas to the smaller systems
wind vapor
Dreadful event that we can't reach without relocating, lazy lazy lazy !
bold beacon
I have to relocate. That’s crazy I have a great spot that I will not get back if I move.

no money to be made in this event = zero effort

@ Tealc, have to agree. I didn’t think they could make a worse event than their 💩y domination events. They proved me wrong with this anniversary Realta pile of crap.
hexed bobcat
This event is complete and utter garbage
twin mason
It’s really bad 😂😂😂 What are they doing 🤦♂️
hexed bobcat
It’s insulting to the players. It’s the rich or strong or privileged kids mocking and laughing at those that don’t think or act like them. “Hahahaha look at all the dumb nerds playing our game”
woven belfry
I'm trying to decide what to buy with my crossover tokens. Is it worth getting 45 Franklin blueprints? I don't know how I'll get the other 45 - will there be more events to get them?
stoic turtle
@waxen galleon its like they want us to quit the game😂
tame inlet
An event where most people cant reach......just wow....and shocking rewards...
waxen galleon
They want us to reinstall WoW or something. Maybe want us to shield up and ignore their game for 24 hrs.
hexed bobcat
Maybe they want us all to quit
pine raft
seriously the "Where it all began" is really crap it requires that you give up mines and move station to a full system..... i can't move my realta from where i am and no one is out with there's beside my realta can't defeat a level 32....
stoic turtle
They probably do😂
hexed bobcat
Because that is what this Ops39 player is seriously considering.
What a scam of a game
stoic turtle
Next event will be armada

1.5K lat?? where do you see that, the event says 200? lol
solid badger
What’s with the 2* rewards. This is for the 20-23 leader board. We are into 3* ships. And not even all class ship parts?
red gulch
Ha we get same junk for level 34
waxen galleon
Can get more that 200 latinum in their 10 min free gifts. Great first prize reward.
rapid sky
@solid badger at lvl20 you're still using your G2 ships, you even use your envoy all the way up to 26 and beyond...
slim jasper
Rubbish event. Our server is so glitchy you can't even engage in pvp. Poor design thinking.
rapid sky
I don't know why you'd event want to bother with pvp... much faster to gain point with pve
lusty jetty
yeah, i think the real winning guilds are going to be the ones to farm lv 1 hostiles all night
nonstop NPC grinding is the exact opposite of what i'd call a fun event, and the possible fun of the PvP portion of the event can be easily ruined by one or two pricks running around in a turas or whatnot
abstract gate
Scopley needed to have a special "event system" that allows for realta ships only, and combat does not effect other parts of the game, like base shields.
torpid light
Event fail. Players running around In other wars ships hitting realtas that are bigger than theres so they can keep hitting smaller ones.
And big players now hitting unshielded stations of those trying to do the pvp event.
slim jasper
@rapid sky the event is rubbish. Rewards vs effort... Sux. Pvp was the only fun element in the event.
covert token
I was hoarding my resources thinking there was new content and new events coming, between Mirror Mirror,Thanksgiving and the anniversary all I have is a crap ton of resources. Couldn't you at least hook us up with a bonus refinery?
shrewd totem
Yep
@covert token BONUS REFINERY IS UP WITH 4H CD 🎉🎉🎉
You asked for it,you got it 😂

Maybe I should have asked for an Enterprise....but I'll take what I can get! Thanks!

abstract gate
Quiz was a dumb af idea, no surprise since most of scopely’s “big” ideas turn out to lame. For instance, Armadas ....
inner fossil
The issue I see with the Anniversary event is that the points you get for attacking same level/same power hostiles isn't the same. I hit 7 lvl 7 orion traders in a row and the first one I got 25 points the second 3 points, 9pts, 4pts, 5pts, 4pts & 6pts. Talk about messed up...
winged tulip
you're seeing alliance updating from other people getting points too
hybrid sigil
@inner fossil you are only getting 1 point, that is total alliance points you see since last one you killed
inner fossil
Ok thanks it looked really weird
hollow shore
Realta event?? 1 year anniversary event?? Its really sucks big time.
carmine lily
So all the level 1-7 hostile shot removed for the event? Only 8+ are appearing anywhere in the galaxy. I guess it’s a good thing there have been no new players in months, they’d have nothing to do.
strong olive
would suggest it had potential if you simply updated the Realta so it has a warp to reach the system...i.e. set the realta to have a warp equal to the players largest warp...that way they can send just the ship...not like you can use it for anything ever again anyways after you get to like what ...level 10?
outer bison
damn, i can’t afford the repairs. this after 130 hostiles 😂
strong olive
I liked someones suggestion in general chat that anything bigger should not be allowed in the system...so maybe 3 mirror mirror sector suns normally off the grid could be added to the map in say 3 points for the 3 factions
abstract gate
Are you serious? Realta has unbuffed Warp 6, with my Cadet Scotty with Warp +4, I can get ONLY Warp 10, and Fithis (8) is Warp 12!!! Now, only a small bunch of upper-level players lvl19-30 are doing havock on Fithis!
And this is an 1 Year Event??? Are you serious?
teal jackal
Man who cares about the Realta event or the Quiz issues. 4 HOUR COOLDOWN BONUS REFINERY!! YES! (Time to go sweep mining systems for OCs)
strong olive
exactly
rough frost
@abstract gate i have access to fithis with only warp 6 .... where is your base ?
abstract gate
@rough frost Astrida system.
rough frost
@abstract gate the warp of your home system is too hight. I had to move my base from rom space to do the event.
Relocate near fithis or in any LVL 1-6 system around there.
solid rampart
I don’t care what any of y’all say I love this realta event 😆
abstract gate
@rough frost You are kind & polite to answer.
Untill know I knew that Warp is only between-system related, not Galaxy distance!
I have lots of Reloc. tokens, I just dont want to leave actual base. Therefore, as a real life pilot, I consider that this 1 Year Event was poorly planned, anyone can see now Fithis system.
I'm surely not a cry-baby, as a fighter pilot I've had to deal with real-life most diff. decisions, but I'm here in a game to have fun and enjoy, not to be frustrated by wrong-thinked 1 Year Event that just leaves only high lvl players to enjoy it. Another Scopely mess-up. I'm really dissapointed... again!
rough frost
Warp always work like that. My usual home is warp 26 so of course my lower ships cant exit it. The home you choose have conséquence on the way you play. It s part of the stratégie too. Look the big players doing the event ... They have all warp 6 too. To do it everyone need To relocate his base.
Btw I m level 31
full heron
Seems the PvP portion of this event is pretty pointless. You can get points by killing hostiles faster than other players. The PvP needs to be more like 25 points per kill to be worth it.
shrewd totem
@full heron it depends on the server.Ours pretty active so 5 points is enough
hard tartan
I think of this like this:
It's the connections between systems that have warp requirements, not the systems themselves. To warp from A to B, you need to have a high enough warp for all connections along the path from A to B.
If you live in a high level system, all outgoing connections will have a high warp requirement, so that your low level ships won't be able to leave.
rough frost
Exactly 👍
abstract gate
@rough frost Now, you'll gonna laugh, like most they had when they met me in the 2 months I've started playing STFC, but I'm now only Lvl10! For 7 weeks on lvl10, just to max. ALL, and K's parts G2, K's common & Unc. mats, espec. the 2xPhindras, one now at lvl30-tier6 max., the other lvl20 maxed. Already have also BPs of Turas, Talla, 27 Jelly (with only 2 of the 12x25 BPs missions), 6 BB, a.s.o.
My way of thinking is that it doesnt count what lvl you are, 10 or 15 or 19 or 39.
It is, like in real life, to be the Best on your lvl.
Untill now, on #157, I didnt met any lvl8-12 to defeat me!
Is'nt that the point? To be the toughest in your lvl?!
Just to confront the bullies & the thugs, to give them a real lesson and also to support not only your mates, but also any player bullied?! Like in real life.
Even if only lvl10 I'm Comm. of 14lvl Ally at 16Mil now, offering tech. supp. to all members, even admiral.
That is why I still consider that the Realta War 1 Year Anniversary Event is a really big failure!
It should've give ANY player a chance to participate, even just to be defeated by a high-lvl-whale, was better though to be within attack-range of lvls...
I hate defeats, but from them I've learned more than from my wins, and now I'm saying about real fights, not hollywood top-guns romance.
Sorry for my exhaustive comment, but I have long time to be as much as frustrated, especially in a game that should provide fair-play, fun and enjoynment!
rough frost
But every player have a chance to participate. As long as your relocate your base somewhere warp - friendly to fithis. No matter your level, 10 or 39, it s the same requirement.
As for your play of playing it s your choice. I m admiral of my alliance too and helping players within is a big part of my play time. But strategically maxing every ship at every op LVL is counterproductive in my opinion. The game is not made for this. It s not at all like clash of clans for exemple where you fight against your own LVL. At LVL 31 I often fight with Player far stronger than me. In my opinion as long as your ships can handle dailies + 2 lvl you can go for next op LVL. I only spend 2 weeks on some LVL, months in others ... I m ready to go LVL 32 but waiting one tier up my centurion before.
long slate
abstract gate
@rough frost Thanks again for your answer, sorry for late responding, but you didn't tagged me.
- About Realta War, the Event didnt said nothing about the Relocation requirement, due to Warp range! And also nothing about lvl-attack participating members.
- Yes, I thought about what you're saying, and you are right, about saying that you can spend 2 weeks on a lvl and months in others. I choosed to spent 7 weeks on lvl10, in 1-2 weeks I'll go 11-12 fast, but when I am fully prepaired.
As you say, I'm only waiting next Refinery Event for some Crystal Uncs to get my second Phindra at least full tier5.
I though understand your point of view, it is not only logical, but it comes from an experienced player. Also a polite and educated person.
Thank you for getting the effort & time to answer in detail!
I should've been glad if you were on #157 with your Ally.
I will now go harvest some hosts on Fithis, with my 17K Phindra, as there are any player below lvl17 with Realtas under 15K. I wonder why?! 😅 🤓
Wish you, and all, the best fun, not only ingame!
simple spear
I had no idea that relocating was such a big deal to everyone...every channel is complaining about it.
abstract gate
I almost cry with rewards..
flat plinth
Why not just boost the realta’s warp range to 20 or whatever? Then you don’t have the entire server trying to relocate to lvl 1-6 systems and you don’t have unshielded bases clustered for easy targets.
Relocating for the event costs 2 tokens which is a waste.
1 to move in range. The second to move out after the event.
dull pagoda
Should have made reds in fithis worth more, no reason to take your realta to fithis except to die
merry fulcrum
Just out run the others 😉 @dull pagoda
merry fulcrum
Lol, then don't constantly pick on them
Hit them once or twice, then go hit others, gives them a chance l

@dull pagoda a turas with max faction killer officers perhaps?
dull pagoda
Lololol, you’re right, I haven’t seen those ships in so long
abstract gate
I thought it was 🔥ISS Realta🔥

we've had players siling Enterprises into the event zone to kill of all the realtas. Literally EXACTLY what I predicted would happen.

@full heron
merry fulcrum
@dull pagoda how could you forget the turas?
cloud grail
So Realta wars eh... So when will the realta bps come up for sale?
livid stump
One of the worst event ever ! Grind hostiles for grade one parts rewards or everlasting battles because ships got the same strength. There is no value for the time spend, for me it is another epic fail.
Bring back pleasant pve events please, where players will have some fun and rewards for it.
agile light
Was a reward chest for completing all of the mirror mirror mission given out yesterday?
livid stump
34 more hours to reclaim mirror tokens. Missions were another huge fail ...
carmine lily
bonus refinery is still broken, provides the exact same amount of crystal every time which is less than half what the other two materials give.
teal jackal
You guys are obviously doing it wrong. Realta battles are the shit. I just wish I had a relocation token but too much raiding lately and I'm out. 😭
carmine lily
Few people are bringing realtas, it's al enterprises and saladins killing off any realtas that come to play.
lvl 39's win everything, this is no exception, no one can compete.
everyone gave up after the first 4 hours.
teal jackal
NAA. No points for that. Anyone can front hostiles in a low level system. Same amount of points.
Probably the first event where a Level 10 can compete with a 39. 😉
carmine lily
anyone can kill hostiles anytime, and better hostiles for better rewards.
teal jackal
Sorry, not the same points, but grinding can still win. And I don't disagree that you can do far better grinding hostiles.
carmine lily
low levels definately can't compete, high levels are just having midlevel players just smash realtas into them in rapid series to get points.
It was a good idea but really poorly implemented. few people wanted to give up their base locations to port to low level systems to hunt hostiles.
leaderboards suck, always. It would have been far better as a solo event where everyone could get some kind of reward.
that would have encouraged more people to participate.
drowsy viper
@carmine lily the #1 alliance in our server is losing the event to a middle-low sized alliance, because there’s one of them that’s grinding hostiles for 24 h
You’re wrong
frozen crater
I wanted to participate, but didn’t due to not wanting to relocate my station.
carmine lily
@drowsy viper I'm sorry but you just contradicted yourself and gave the exat reason why. you've got one group with the time and will to take the slower route, we've got one group with the time and will to completely dominate. our #1 alliance is doing nothing but smashing realtas against each other and they are easily 10x higher in score than the #2 alliance. very little on the leaderboard is different than any other leaderboard, the top 10 are still the usual top 10, just maybe in a slightly different order due solely to desire to actually play the event.
abstract gate
My LDB is all over the place. Half of the alliances in top 10 I didn't even know existed 🤣
carmine lily
we've got hardcore groups that refuse to lose i think
It's reasonably well balanced, but high levels can still rig the game if they want to.
tame inlet
You have a top 10? We only have 6 alliances ranked at all. 6th is on 3 points lol
carmine lily
We have 81 ranked.
tame inlet
carmine lily
nice quiet server, not sure if i'd love to be there, or if it would be realy boring.
We fight hard for event ranks.
even the stupid armada ones.
tame inlet
Oh its a tiny server....roe stick well...but usually highly competitive....not so much with this event
carmine lily
yeah this event has not been popular.
i was so looking forward to a realta rumble, but it just wasnt implemented well.
olive rover
Just farm hostiles...
It ain't that hard
The alliance with the most active people win anyway
carmine lily
that's normally the case yes. all the actives have been stacked at the top, most of the non top 10's are loaded with inactives.
tidal zinc
There is no benefit to being high level in this event. We are the most active alliance but don't have many spenders and we are smashing it. This is the kind of event I like to see, where hard work wins rather than cash. We are 3rd on the power leaderboard yet 1st in being legends.
vestal wedge
floral crag
I also like the Where it all began event. I would like to see more of these events.
granite musk
@twilit imp I have to say the rewards are pretty disappointing for the time investment needed on this event. Why not give epic tokens to top 3 or knock 1min off the bonus refine time for each hostile kill with the Relta?
vapid hill
Rewards are total crap. Other than first place barely, there’s no reason to even try for second.
abstract gate
First spot gives 2 uncommon armadas and half of rare one. An average alliance size over servers is 70 people. 140 uncommon armadas and at least 30 rares is a bad reward?!
I respectfully disagree.
This is a team oriented game. Start acting like it. Coz solo you can't do anything.
OH and don't forget 9 days of shields
shrewd totem
Rewards for T10 is great and Realta wars is also fun.But that fun ends quick when everyone goes to grind hostiles instead of PvPing
If I remember correctly,you wanted more free directives and here they are in event rewards.But suddenly most of you start to say rewards are crap.I guess you only want directives when there are armada events 🤷♂️
calm stream
Really is it so difficult to create an event that please most of us , like you don’t know what we need ?
granite musk
Maybe if the rewards for the armadas were half decent it would be worth it 😂
abstract gate
And the pvp part in only one system doesn't help to do pvp
calm stream
We are the first alliance in our server and we didn’t move a single base to participate to that anniversary joke ,
winged tulip
Reason I'm not taking part is because to get decent rewards I'd have to grind hostiles that drop nothing i need for hours. I'd rather get closer to building a bortas grinding klingons. 1st place rewards are nice, everything else is skippable - and as an alliance that has work and family commitments we can't spend the time grinding that others can, so not much point in trying.
vapid hill
@abstract gate yesi know you disagree. Scopely I awesome, I get it.
abstract gate
Most of us already have a job, this is supposed to be a fun diversion during the our off hours not a 24/7 commitment...the level of involvement required to carry a slacker alliance into the t10 is ridiculous
vapid hill
@shrewd totem are you seeeeriously going to argue that rewards for t3-10 are ‘great’? Come on now.
low heath
I can see there point on directives as you can't combine them so it is individual, but at the same time its better than nothing for killing a bunch of lvl 1 to 9s lol. All prespective I'd say.
winged tulip
Buff the drops on mobs i can kill with realta and I'd think about it lol
abstract gate
Only first place worth the try and I'm not gonna grind hostiles for hours for that
lapis skiff
Grind lvl 10 hostile for hours on end for half a rare armada? You call that a great reward? Just shows how bad the events in this game have become that people are calling this good.
low heath
They should have gifted two relo tokens at least, it is a birthday celebration after all...lol
Small gestures to minimize whining... Scopely should "write that down." 🤣
abstract gate
Indeed @low heath
steel ether
I don't know if this sort event is common in regards to the PvP aspect, however I think it points out the downsides of the game. Now as for the rewards I would not mind the time it takes away from you doing better things especially if you are higher level, if the event it self is fun. And it can be, I like PvP and want to see it as the main focus of the game.
In the future perhaps, make the PvP level difference stricter, reduce it to a few levels either side.
The points awarded for pvp is too low, id rather kill 2 extra PvE ships as its far more effective use of time for the event.
Having to move base just to participate in the fun aspect only, sucks.
calm stream
Guys if you didn’t want this event to come back anymore just tell Scopely how you love it , like factions event separatist Harrison or Tal that we never heard again
steel ether
Reducing the level difference might not be the best fit as it reduces target options, I dont know, however I really do ant to see more balanced PvP events.
do want*
abstract gate
Last time we saw separatist and augment mining, they launched both the same day to stop the complains. 😂
steel ether
...And this is a good step, seems like an experiment and data collection to me.
undone abyss
Winning allaince should get 1 full relta
abstract gate
That is the problem, they launch new things and focus on it and completely forget the old ones when you actualy have good rewards.
Lately rewards are very low
rapid sky
I've been spending 'idle game time' to kill hostiles with my realta, like when I send a ship to a mine, or to grind hostiles for dailies etc.
killed about 400 or so, if all 70 people in the alliance do the same... easy win
abstract gate
I prefer to do a little more hostiles grinding the same as I need for my daylies than spend hours to kill hostiles that are not rewarding at all.
Especialy as it do nothing for the event.
potent hound
Any good event after the Realta or was that it for the weekend.
abstract gate
It will be relaunched I guess
rapid sky
@abstract gate can't really do that as it's at least 7-8 minutes warp to where I kill for dailies, so that's time I can use to kill with my realta... 10 minutes I can easily kill 50 or so NPCs, it's hardly "hours", but again that requires the entire alliance to particiapte
the rewards for 1st spot are worth it IMO, 2nd and 3rd are also not that bad, after that it becomes a bit meh
abstract gate
Agreed @rapid sky and I already said to my alliance I will not participate to this event. I have 0 point.
rapid sky
and to those who complain about the relocation tokens... it's 100 alliance credits for 2, you get it back from rewards 😉
abstract gate
It is not a problem of relocation tokens. I have 300+ in stock.
It is just it is not rewarding enough to participate
And doing pvp with realta in only one system when 90% of the fights (full life) goes over the 100 rounds is not fun.
rapid sky
yeah pvp is crap and not worth it 🙂
potent hound
Look at the full battle report is hellish.
abstract gate
Kill 100's of hostiles for 1k officer xp per 50 pve chests or farm my Klingon rep for 30k+ per 50.....yeah sh9ve your event I'll kill exactly 1 hostile with realta for leeching purposes and then go about my day like it didn't exist.
And ... it was a one day event 😂
🚮
To remember for this anniversary, bonus refinery and thats all
And as it is the only one we got for this month, it means nothing to remember
smoky cosmos
What do you say I forgot 😂

Well, back to being bored for the weekend.

On the contrary, @abstract gate. We'll remember how it fell flat.

I would have liked a weekend where I would have said, "Wow. They finally gave us an event we want and the rewards are what we've been asking for on top of a Bonus Refinery."

Would it kill you guys to give real event and stop with domination and armada? Seps? Faction kills?

Where is the fancy realta they said would be out
merry fulcrum
Only for one day is my guess
abstract gate
What I find funny is they said launching Domination and hostiles killing event at same time do weird thing.
Did you notice any ?
frosty fjord
I would have hoped for more like ''Where it all Began" Events like mining in lowest ship killing hostiles alliance wide just like the early days.
And for participation for 7 days a reward.
But hey i gues 1 year issent a real milestone to make good content.
teal jackal
Ummm...everyone complaining about a sorry anniversary, did you forget the 4-hour cool down on bonus refinery? Sure, the events are dumb, but some many bonus refines is far better, to me at least, than any event rewards would be. I've hit it ever 4 hours and gotten hundreds of uncommons and over a dozen rare each. 😀
abstract gate
Same result than a 2 day running bonus refinery we have each month
odd nova
Does anyone know when the next race to level 20 event will be
abstract gate
@teal jackal I agree with you, that they did right
Great drop hate, more than 50 3* rare in 16 hours
Lucky you, at lvl35 so far the rare ive gotten from bonus refining is 1 rare gas 🚮
And bare minimum uc drops too mostly
A better thought out event with better rewards would have been preferable to the half assed time sink realta bs and bonus refine that requires disturbed sleep to get the most out of
It often feels as though scopely's main aim is to keep us logged in and drowsy 24/7 in the hopes that we over spend in a sleep deprived delirium
abstract gate
Since July events are not that great, clearly better before
Bring back events we had at that time and we will no more complain
At least I will no more complain 😂

Lol I love how all the admins are saying this is great and rewards are awesome. No wonder the game continues to disappoint.

1 on each server I'm guessing...the rest probably saw the time sink trap last night sometime and gave up
delicate moth
Dont know, but mine did 😁
delicate moth
The chasing alliance had about 19.5k. The rest decided not to bother 🤷
The thing about it though was that it was probably the most egalitarian event we've seen. Money didn't come into it, just how much grinding you were willing to entertain.
abstract gate
Entertain and grinding in the same sentence ?
We won 1st with 18.2k with 41/74 participation.
olive rover
49/73 participation so the premise of spending more is false for this nice event

Lol it just popped up as went to get placing ss. Thank you for responding.
Server must be lagging big.
abstract gate
I'll give you that it was a relatively level Playing field...still a monumental time sink for piss all
We were expecting something grandiose and extravagant for the 1yr anniversary and instead we got "🖕 you, grind worthless hostiles for a pittance"
Yes a bonus refine with 4hr cd was a nice bonus but after such a lacklustre and misconceived event it just wasn't enough
The 4 hour cool down bonus refinery is all I needed.
But it was egalitarian, the 1st take all, others just cry
Not crying, just fundamentally disappointed
Yes I don't bother too
For an anniversary it is not what I expected
Could have had a solo lb plus solo milestone event, then it could've been good
Exactly
Just alliance lb with meh rewards for anything other than 1st (and barely above meh for 1st tbh) was a major fail
Solo lb in the style of swarm or separatists lb (rates and uc + bp's) and a solo milestone giving uc's and rss would have made this a win for 99% of us
It will have add more participation for sure
Then in the process maybe we will have tried to go for the alliance ranking
Another swing and miss by scopely...
But as it no chance
😂
Nothing for me? Nothing for you either 🖕
rapid sky
@abstract gate if you do 50% of your alliance points maybe time to shuffle?

It's a good alliance but the farm events aren't their thing
I'm also (currently) their most powerful player...that'll change soon as after armada rollout I have gone f2p

To farm you need a carrot, if there is none it is just boring.

Well I swapped alliance not too long ago... we have different players who like different events but everyone is active and contributing so it makes a ton of difference... we had a few who grinded for hours in this event but most players just did an hour or maybe two
I've also decided to stop spending as the packs are mostly trash... now going the slow way from 29 to faction miners... gonna take me till Christmas 😂 😂
abstract gate
No, I'm 35 and triple faction, fed and rom are maxed and I'm working on klingons....just passed 1.3mil with them
I was saying that working on that gave me some experience in farming hostiles in an efficient manner
But as you say, without the carrot why bother
"Oooh I can kill 200+ hostiles per hour while 25% of my alliance sit on 1pt and the rest maaaaybe do dailys for some extra directives "? 🖕 no
Massive fail
Gimme a solo milestone event and/or lb and our alliance would've been in the t3, 1st if it wasn't for my wife's birthday party
knotty haven
Lamest Anniversary event ever. Another major fail scopley
frozen abyss
I'm still kicking myself for dropping the game for 4 months. I feel like I'm way behind everybody because I missed out on the Franklin blueprints that I could have been getting between then and now because I missed the original event that offered them. I was happy to see them available in this last event, but it only let me buy half of what I needed, so I would hope that another event coming very soon will offer me a way to get the other 45 Franklin blueprints so that I can finally build it and start upgrading it to more efficiently kill swarm rather than using my Saladin for it and paying a fortune in repair costs.
On the same note, I also enjoyed being able to get D'Vor blueprints in this latest event, so I would greatly appreciate those being included in another event, too.
From what I've been told by my alliance, the events that were going on the most before I left the game (Klingon Separatists and Faction Hunt) haven't really come back since, and they were the most popular by far. Maybe it's possible to bring the separatists back into the loop with Bat'leth tokens and allow us to buy the missing blueprints with those.
My alliance enjoyed the Armada event and thought the reward options were great, but we felt that it ran too long and became very redundant and boring by the end. Can we please keep all events near a week or 8-day maximum? It becomes very boring doing the same thing all day every day. These are just some thoughts that we had, but I figured that I would share them to hopefully see some improvements on events going forward.
cloud grail
I can maybe tolerate an 8 hour Armada event once every ten years. Otherwise it's too much bull
grand epoch
After 1 day of armadas event, it becomes absolutely pay to win. I very much dislike that
carmine lily
yup, and they hit us with a solid month of it, then gave us a 1 day event with tiny armada rewards.
Scopely:Let's have an anniversary event that sux with rewards that nobody wants. that'll keep everyone playing right?
proud solar
Genius move Brassman, we keep crying for what they won't dish, if we below for more domination & armadas, maybe they'll throw a faction hunt at us🤔😂🤣😂🖖

@abstract gate what kind of Holidays ?? Sorry I’m from Poland. How long they will last?
I was expecting much more from anniversary but oh well it’s scopley

Any ops 39s on? Curious how many points are needed to complete the Heroic Swarm event and what rares it awards. It’s 375 pts and 4 rare crystal at op33
abstract gate
525 6 rares at 35
barren night
@median snow ?? Can you answer that?
abstract gate
So same event as at 35?...that's crap
outer bison
@median snow brilliant, thank you👍🏻
median snow
merry fulcrum
Why do they stop giving uncommon crystal?
median snow
Guessing because it’s an event where you kill interceptors
So they give you the more valuable materials
If it were battleships would probably be rare ore
vapid hill
@merry fulcrum "Why do they stop giving uncommon crystal?"
So that you'll buy them.
cloud grail
Wallet is closed. I'm not buying anything until I see a change. In the meantime I will continue to gamble at the Refinery roulette twice a day everyday till I get bored.
I object to Paywalled events and content. badges. armadas. Etc..
winged tulip
Me too. Was just contemplating buying a mod pack for the franklin so that i could level to 32, then thought why bother..
merry fulcrum
@vapid hill guess I'll camp ops 27 for a while then, heroic drops about 20 uc crystal, plus the regular, which gives about 8 uc
vapid hill
Events get WAY harder at 28. Worth it to stay 27 and build up a 26 ship, or save up so when you hit 28 can get a 28 ship and get it to at least t4. Otherwise, good luck at 28 without a big ship.
Might as well skip a 26 ship if you can. A 26 ship is not the worst thing in the world, I use my turdflower some, but everything you put into a 26 ship you won't have to put into a 28ship.
barren night
@median snow ty sir!
carmine lily
It's not so much that events get harder, you actually get much better rewards for events than you do at 27, it's that you get put into leaderboards with 39's which is absolutely ridiculous and impossible to compete with.

@stray tide with 3 faction miners and a saladin begging for rare crystal I'm fine with non stop swarm events tbh...domination and armadas can do one though
Only thing better would be swarm plus faction hunt

Mining monday...30mil free parsteel also good

Its fine as long as it 1 daily event and 1 or maybe more changing events.

Yeah problem is all these boring events last too long and there's nothing interesting happening between them!

I still need UC crystal for my saladin, before spending my rares 😅 Tritanium is also a problem for me nowadays, and hard to find nice tritanium rich bases^^

@abstract gate why would you wish that upon others 🤔
abstract gate
Shhhh...I am trying a new tactic...every time they ask us what we would like, we say faction hunt, fractured empire, bosses...and we always get an armada/domination
So...in that spirit...please scopely, give us 15 days of armada events
eager hill
@abstract gate. I think you meant 45 days 😎☝️
abstract gate
4 days of bfg...nice
pale kestrel
the solo parts need to be longer. some of us work the first entire round
winged tulip
Can anyone post the top tier bfg rewards for lvl32? Pushing ops will be tempting if i can get some rares out of it!
abstract gate
Told you all it will work
@winged tulip 3.7 mil par, 4 unc gas and crystal and 1 rare gas and crystal
If 4 days, 96 hours, 12 runs, 12 rare for finishing event
winged tulip
Meh, one more uncommon than lvl31!
sterile saddle
@twilit imp would it be possible for Scopely to make announcements about the events here on Discord? We only see them in-game or rarely as an announcement.

Sorry, missed to press on the few minutes ago Panic's announcement about New Packs. Where can I see it, pls?

yeah! 4days of battle for glory, nice!
craggy merlin
On what is the lvl of hostile set for 20 points per kill? Ops lvl?
obtuse otter
@craggy merlin Go to Events. Click on Battle for Glory. Click "Attack Hostiles".
craggy merlin
I know , but was wondering where it was based on... ops lvl or faction stand
obtuse otter
ops level
craggy merlin
At my lvl 31 I need 34 for max points... it would make me rethink going to 32 😉
If that would make it much harder...
Thanks for the answer cheapwhisky
obtuse otter
np. Im also 31, but 34s are so easy I finished in 1 run killing 35-37s.
vapid hill
32 event requirements are way higher than 31. Aint gonna do it any tiem soon.
stray tide
Why no bracket solo LB for battle event, why no solo LB ad all <@&509690795536941056>

Because it'll just be another damage dealt lb and the maxed Franklin brigade will dominate as usual...and everyone else will be here crying
stray tide
just make it for the bracket, i know someone would be alone because of high, but this is just to boring atm
abstract gate
12 rare crystal over 4 days plus a ton of parsteel...I'll take it

Only 12?

latent peak
We need to complain more then maybe faction hunt come next 😉
merry fulcrum
Lol, yeah
rapid sky
@median slate I'll also take it if they reduce the cd to 22hrs or extend the time by couple of hours because right now you can only pull 3 times for a 4 days event 
shrewd totem
Yea that is bad part
merry fulcrum
I already did a double chest @rapid sky
winged tulip
If i did the maths right if you do all 3 events every 24h then you'll always have more trophies than you can spend
for me at 31 i can earn 3x175 trophies a day, and in store 5 chests is 400 tokens. Least i can trade in immediately next time event launches i guess!
latent peak
Had over 2k from last events, they should give a 10x chest option
sleek sage
The only thing to spend them on is the recruit chests, correct?
latent peak
Yes
sleek sage
Ok thanks just making sure
empty dragon
Sorry - LOVES.
abstract gate
@empty dragon Mind the language.
rapid sky
@winged tulip at 29 it's 480/day and 400 for 5 chests, makes sense really as it also gives a chance for those who can't complete 3 events per day
But if you earn for 4 days and can only spend 3 times.. 🤷
winged tulip
Yeah don't mind too much as the rare g3 is a good enough reward that I'll be doing it 3 times a day anyway
dapper falcon
@winged tulip ops 32 top reward for event
vapid hill
Are the rewards (unc and rare crystal) lower than in the past? Seems like it.
vapid hill
Scopely only takes, never gives.
weak copper
This event repeats too often. Most people who work for a living can’t do the solos every 8 hours. Why not make it a 24h solo like other events?
south arrow
Because it’s a easy event
weak copper
That doesn’t address the amount of free time needed to complete it. Plus, mining is easier and thats a 24h solo.
nova valley
are you complaining about a non mining event? smh lol c'mon, we've been asking for this event to come back for 2 months. here it is... #stopcomplaining lol
no disrespect intended...
but if your ships are up to par with where they should be for your level, this event requires about 20-30 min every 8 hours and approximately 30-40 kills.
rapid sky
Doesn't matter what event comes someone will always complain😂 😂
rocky hill
80 kills
nova valley
speratists arne't wildly different than battle for glory. ALTHOUGH, it's been noticed that the rewards are a little lower. they are still EASY and free rewards to obtain
80 kills!? how many points you need?
@rocky hill
rapid sky
And it's more kills at lower levels which thus take more time 😂 🤷
rocky hill
1600
ashen wharf
true im not complaining
nova valley
what level are you?
rocky hill
29
nova valley
and you have to hit level what? 32 or 33 for 20 points per kill?
rocky hill
32s was a walk in the park
nova valley
i've jumped an ops level this months i dont' knwo how the monthly pack compared. is it still 10uncommon per day or back down to 5?
nova valley
hmmmm, mine don't look lower? or maybe they tiered down one? i'm ops 31 now. was ops 30 at last pack (aren't they the same til odd? like, 30 and 31 have the same pack? so mine shouldn't have changed)
dapper drum
how is 15 to 20 mins to complete a lot of used up free time?
nova valley
but i'm at 332 ore and 220 crystal and gas each. i think it looks the same.
24 rare ore, and 16 rare crystal and gas.
weak copper
On EU servers, the next solo starts at 1 am and finishes at 9am. That’s not feasible for most people who like to sleep and get to work on time. Having a non-mining, non-domination event is great, its the 8 hourly reset thats a pain
nova valley
i THINK that was the same as my last one.
dapper drum
well when you wake up to use the bathroom in middle of night finish event
nova valley
@weak copper AHHHH makes a huge diff. i have a player in my alliance who is hawaii time, so he's 5 hours behind eastern.
our events run 12pm east - 8pm, then 8p-4a, and then 4a-12p. so it's VERY easy to get them done in that time frame.
so his 4a-12p time slot is 11p-7a; a tough one to do for him. and then 7a-3p, during work hours. lol he has talked about the struggle.
latent peak
It's perfect for us addicts, just less sleep in next days, going to be little grumpy at work, but we do everything for uncommon 😂
mystic cove
How can you kill f***ing hostiles when they keep disappearing!!!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
viral pawn
Anyone have the battle for glory splash screen?
The one where it details how many trophies a person can obtain based on their ops level.
teal jackal
My personal opinion is that the 8 hour reset is good. If it was 24 hours then it would be easy for everyone to complete and the strongest alliance would win every time. With 8 hours, people have to try and activity does have an effect. I’m also in Hawaii so the 11pm-7am time slot sucks.
vapid hill
I took like the 8 hour reset. The casuals don't like it, of course, but whatevs.
winged tulip
I'd be happier with a 24h event with the points 3x higher, would give you a lot more freedom to play when you're free. But sleep is overrated anyway..
vivid scarab
Ever going to do a Special Act of War event again?

To everyone complaining about this event...remember the Realta event last week? Good, now stop complaining.

Can we pls get a fix for these mines
carmine lily
Thank you for finally giving us a decent event! Now please stop nerfing the refinery!
carmine lily
nothing but common all day.
back to normal i guess, events give uncommons so refinery doesn't.
dapper drum
I was getting 12 to 24 UC on doubles
well got screwed on crystal just now
96 common, but gas was 11uc and ore 14 uc
rapid sky
Refinery is working as usual... got 4 uc gas and 8uc cry this morning, no ore
teal jackal
@dapper drum the uncommon gods are fickle beings.
barren night
Understatement
scenic elk
is there any info if we are to expect to trade in unused bp for something more valuable, like faction credits or so?
I can build 40 Kehras now...
sleek lark
I stick to single batch refining I find you get the same uncommon as double batches but less common so save raw material for bonus refinery
Also events now are much better with uncommon and rare but I also spend so I’m a product of scopely 😂😂😂
dapper drum
you are not mining enough
I run doubles and triples daily
and I had 1.2m raw for last bonus
used it all almost
sleek lark
I am not a miner 😉
dapper drum
well if you want to advance without spending hundreds per week you have to grind the mines
sleek lark
It’s soooooo boring 😏
dapper drum
you don't have to do anything
I mine with 2 ships
one either mines crystal or gas only, while other mines ore/gas or ore/crystal
other 2 ships are free to do whatever
brings in 500k mixed raw a day
but an actual avg day is around 400k
sleek lark
I don’t get the chance to log on game that often to swap miners before they hit zero or over cargo
I get by doing my daily doing events and refine on bonus days
sharp ibex
I mine, and thanks to the fact that my faction rep is between 1m and 1.2m, I get double the rewards 😛
guess I need to kill roms now as well to keep it between that
abstract gate
The refinery has always been useless regardless of how much you exchange per refine, it’s Scopelys choke point & will remain so till the game dies
sharp ibex
nothing is truly random 🙂
abstract gate
Very true
sharp ibex
time to grind some hostiles to get this vakh level 25
abstract gate
Look at their reaction following the “error” on their accounting server not so long ago. That tells you how important the refinery is to revenue generation
sharp ibex
you needed that 'exploitability' as proof for that?
the simple reason that you cannot obtain those materials through lat conversion should say enough
abstract gate
😂👍
sharp ibex
ops 26 is gas orientated, so what does the refinery deprive you from mostly, right, uc gas
ops 27 is ore orientated, refinery output on that is low (wasn't the case when I was 26)
28 will probably require crystal for most building upgrades
winged tulip
Yup. Shipyard needs mucho crystal
abstract gate
Can’t remember but @ 29 there’s certainly a shortage of crystal drops
sharp ibex
my goal will be to upgrade everything to 27 now, and in the meantime, bring my ships in shape
my kumi is only T5, want it at T6/7
in the meantime I hope to grind enough modulators to give the franklin an overhaul as well
I mean my vahk is only T5 recently since 2 days
if I kill around 42 level 30's with it, it's going to become level 25
rapid sky
@sharp ibex all levels needs about the same amount of UCs for buildings... vaults/warehouses/ops is ore, R&D/labs/def platforms/ACC gas, drydocks/shipyard/hangar crystal
sharp ibex
uhm, no
rapid sky
explain...
sharp ibex
hold on...
shrewd totem
@rapid sky amount or type?
sharp ibex
type might be the same, but amount, hell no
shrewd totem
Type is same in all lvls
sharp ibex
but the refinery slows you down on obtaining the UC in order to advance fast enough
rapid sky
well amounts are in the same ratio
same buildings at each level needs the same type of UC
sharp ibex
especially the uc you need to advance the big buildings that matter, not talking about res generators
rapid sky
well at 26 ops needs 120 ore, R&D 120 gas and shipyard 120 crystal
shrewd totem
That is true
rapid sky
so how is ops 26 "gas oriented" ?
sharp ibex
yeah, sounds wrong
but the issue with uc demand is, refinery adopts to it, in the order of how you need it
you save for acadamy, ore is slow, you do r&d, uc gas output will be slow, shipyard, crystal output will be slow
especially since you need lots of gas in research (especially galaxy research)
rapid sky
hrm that sounds like a conspiracy theory more than anything else 😄
there's always a need for all 3 UCs, let it be research/buildings/ships
hybrid ibex
I think you just notice it more when you need one particular type. The refinery hates giving you uncommon anything.
rapid sky
unless scopely can read your mind and knows what's the next thing you want to spend UCs on, I can't see how that's possible that the refinery is 'adjusted'
sharp ibex
you always need a specific order in upgrading buildings
ops -> academy -> r&d -> shipyard
rapid sky
right, but I have had shipyard 29 ready to be upgraded for months and didn't do it as I spent UCs on ships/research
sharp ibex
yeap, you need lots of uc for ships as well
rapid sky
didn't notice I'm getting any less crystal
I've actually been taking screenshots and making an excel spreadsheet for a couple of weeks until I got bored cause it's nothing more than an RNG... take a big sample of data (say 30 days) and it all average out
sharp ibex
make a graph displaying the output of each resource over time ?
y = amount, x = time
and add perhaps markers on the time when you started building something, and check which resource you would need to get the next upgrade done
rapid sky
I don't have it anymore 🤷♂️ , but over about 3 months of data I checked all "last 30 days" and they were practically identical percentage wise (% UC rolls out of total rolls)
rapid sky
totals per mat yes
sharp ibex
but you should have plotted the output over time in a graph and look if there are waves for example
times within those 30 days where the output of one resource is higher in average compared to others
I know players who think that there might even be a difference depending on the time you do the pickups
depending on how accurate your logging is, you could check for that too 😛
rapid sky
haha well I don't have it anymore... but all I logged was amount of pulls, I didn't even keep dates let alone times
sharp ibex
bummer
rapid sky
basically a table with all the pull options for commons/uncommons/rares and how much I'd get
winged tulip
The typical player uses more of different uc at different levels definitely - i remember ore at 24-6 for Kumari, then crystal 26 for horizon + research, now at 31 it's everything apart from uc ore
kind roost
Why does the battle for glory recruit box have a timer. I love the event, but every time I end up with extra recruit tokens I can’t use
sharp ibex
because they want to throttle the output of recruit shards
rapid sky
@winged tulip yes typically 20-21 is Kehra, 22-23 is Vakhlas and 24-25 is Kumari, but some players skips one or more ships, there's an NS etc.
from 26 comes faction ships and things starts to differ
sharp ibex
in order to make you spend more on more chests
1=50, 2=120 I think ?
without the cooldown, you could keep clicking on 1 chest and be off cheaper
they don't want that
rapid sky
well by now everyone has enough to do only 5 chests pulls anyway 😄
sharp ibex
I mainly stick to single pulls
rapid sky
the numbers makes some sense if they'd do a 22hr cd or allows couple extra hours at the end to pull a chest
at ops 29 you get 480/day completing all 3 events and 5 chests is 400
sharp ibex
yes, waste
I will still do single pulls and simply keep the leftover tokens till next time
rapid sky
iirc though last time they did extend it in the last day but by that time I just collected them in the morning and so I missed it anyway
sharp ibex
still had a few left, so when the event started, I could already pull
rapid sky
well I had 1470 when the event started.... I could pick up 3 days of 5 chests without killing a single hostile
and get 90% officer XP anyway
sharp ibex
exactly, so why rush and waste ? 🙂
rapid sky
because what else would you do with the tokens?
sharp ibex
save em up till next time
you never know what objects they will assign to it in the future
rapid sky
well I still collect more than I can use 😂
potent hound
Does Scopely not like having hostile killing events because they can't fix the issue with system hostiles not loading?
We finally get a hostile killing event and I'm spending minutes trying to get them to appear.

Which works great if you happen to be hostile and are being chased around the system while you wait...
latent peak
After scopley ready this comments domination event till new year coming 😂
Only event which do not need hostile, problem fixed 😉 😂

Nothing that i do with my device fixes the system loading issues. Sending my ship to one fixed it for a brief moment until i looked away. Now back to nothing again. 😡
calm stream
Easy way to fix it is to do a VIEW SYSTEM , like that they will magically appear , don’t do locate ship it doesn’t work ,

@real geyser it is a scopely server/app issue as everyone has it. only fix is if scopely cared

@twilit imp can we get the system loading issue addressed? Is there a plan?

@ashen wharf still you get decent rewards every 8hrs, if you can do all 3 rewards are better than swarm for example....
abstract gate
As someone who needs parsteel more than anything currently, I like this event far more 🤣

And...I wish there was no cooldown on the store...
You get a bit more tokens than you can spend

I like having a stockpile, who knows maybe they add something else in the future
olive rover
Doubtful
olive rover
Same old BFG event
abstract gate
What can I say, I'm an optimistic creature 🤣
shrewd totem
@olive rover better than domination
abstract gate
Meh, I like latinum xD
rapid sky
@olive rover depends really what you need more... steel or trit, but at 29 it gives more UC crystal and gas and more rare gas...
abstract gate
I don't mind domination, as long as it is in the background with some other event
ashen wharf
Yeah I get more swarm rewards then this I think
olive rover
I wouldn't mind Domination being a permament event...just not the primary.
rapid sky
I also need more trit but I'll still take those UCs :)
abstract gate
I can't complete swarm heroic events, so I'm biased against them xD
rapid sky
21 per day vs 16 on swarm, and if your ops30 it's 21 vs 0...

I smash my Bortas into 32s since it's the only thing I have currently that can take them on

@shrewd totem you either know or you don’t. The ways of the special crew are secret. Just like fight club.

NO!

Kill ichibe!

warped stag
That’s why we queried it, your sentence sounded like you could hit 35s swarm with a leg.
ashen wharf
MF can't kill 35 swarms
olive rover
You'd need a Rare ship to kill a 35 at least if you're not using a Franklin
Or a very highly tiered Cent
ashen wharf
Yeah a 2 mil brel
olive rover
Mid-tier B'rel or a Highly tiered Cent
At least
MF even maxed can't do it iirc
And a max MF can get up to about...1m power
warped stag
Hold on.. I’ll check shortly
olive rover
You got a max MF...?
warped stag
Nope, though something else
warped stag
I think I can still try something
olive rover
I just wanna get Pike 😦
warped stag
Oooh Pike
olive rover
If I had Pike...my baby 160kish Franklin can probably kill a 32
Pike/Moreau/T'laan best setup
warped stag
Probably.
olive rover
Using Pikes captain ability soley to boost T'laan's officer ability
And some of Moreau to get Synergy/officer ability
The god tier farming setup from what a few high levels have told me
Swap out T'laan for Chen for other hostiles
abstract gate
Idkn guys, my Morreau is at 80% and I can't seem to make her work
Don't have Pike tho
unique parrot
without pike its no use
olive rover
If you could choose an officer in that pack...I'd buy that pack and get Pike easily.
abstract gate
Same xD
abstract gate
But not in mood to gamble
ashen wharf
I would've gotten nero
olive rover
I probably would've gotten Nero or Kras
ashen wharf
Yeah but I think I'm almost done maxing him
olive rover
Kras is sitting in my lower decks
ashen wharf
All I ever get is nero
olive rover
I really wouldn't want Khan tbh..
olive rover
Though...getting more Marcus would be nice too
Alexander Marcus
That dude needs a stupid amount of shards for his final tier one of my buddies told me
abstract gate
Don't have Harrison to use him with xD
olive rover
Don't really need Harrison tbh
abstract gate
Then with whom would you use him?
olive rover
Yuki as captain?
olive rover
Bones
abstract gate
Yeah, but don't you want Carol for more damage since you're using Yuki?
olive rover
Depends the situation
olive rover
Carol if your anti-faction officers are low tier
abstract gate
Not viable Ichibe, too muchfor repairs
olive rover
T4/T5 anti-faction officers out preform Carol iirc
abstract gate
Idkn, I love Carol, 10/10 for now, but those 25 % are better than Kirks. I don't know why
olive rover
Carol I'm pretty sure is like Cadet Kirk with a base increase
abstract gate
All my anti faction are either t1 or t2
ashen wharf
Carol is weird
She boosts my ship power oddly
Just being on the bridge
%25 power shouldn't be that much

BATTLE FOR GLORY: Has scopely commented on why higher level players have to hit LESS hostiles for top tier and MORE rewards in this event? This seems extremely unfair in regards of time required to complete and also amount of rss required for repairs on ships
Lvl 26/27
Lvl 28/29
rapid sky
because higher level NPCs are more difficult to kill?
rapid sky
well not everyone who just leveled up to 28 have "an upgraded faction ship"
half forge
Even with a 26 faction ship you shouldn’t have an issue taking out lvl 32 hostiles.
rapid sky
well not everyone have them as well
half forge
Than maybe u shouldn’t lvl up ops if you’re ship isnt ready
rapid sky
well a lot of people skip the T1 faction ships as they aren't worth it...
eitherway it takes like what? 15-20 minutes to kill those 80 or 100 NPCs if you have a proper ship?
half forge
So you’re just proving my point more so. If lower players skip that first faction ship it is even harder for them to complete the event top tier with lower level ships. Then they have to repair more often, using more rss and taking more time
winged tulip
Tbh looks like targets weren't updated for the buffs to faction ships - pre-buff the reduced target would make sense. As it is i can do each event in just over half a sally repair..
abstract gate
I was doing bfg and faction hunts at lvl30 with a kumari...if you out lvl your ships don't complain the events are too hard, you made them hard by rushing
rapid sky
@half forge put it that way, repair costs for those faction ships are also higher... so really the only 'benefit' higher levels potentially get is 10 minutes less grinding?
floral trail
The biggest time sink is getting the red triangles to appear since the update the game is more unplayable than usual
half forge
Errrrr wrong again @rapid sky I have a 450k mf and 450k kumari. I can finish all tiers with one run of Kumar I but it costs around 150k trit (not to mention dil) to repair. Takes a few runs with mf but only 30k repair costs.
Players that are at my lvl but with less powerful ships are struggling more so than I am which seems unfair when a 30+ player can go through and finish their tiers in no time with less than half a ship repair
@rapid sky I just want the same number of trophy rewards as the higher level players get. Especially when it’s taking lower levels MORE time and rss to get the top tier finished
rapid sky
Well it really shouldn't take lower levels more rss to finish the event... and a MF at the same tier as a Kumari will cost more to repair
At ops 26-27 I could easily finish the event with a T6 Kumari doing one run in Xerexs, costs about 70K trit to repair
Now with my T6 sally killing 80*32 I have much more hull left but repair costs is the same (a full repair will be 200K trit for comparison)
abstract gate
At 35 20 pointers are 38+ I'm hitting romulans for the rep and it takes my t8.5 sally 1-2 runs depending on transport spawns 250k trit per run and 5hr35min repair
Lower lvl's have higher milestones yeah but the overall cost is about the same...assuming you haven't rushed ops ahead of your ship's capability
merry fulcrum
@rapid sky my t6 kumari can kill at least 10 level 32s per run
Aldo idk how you could do this event in 1 run with a t6 kumari killing 30s
rapid sky
Well same Kumari could do 20*32... the power increase is quite big between 30 to 32
Cadet uhura cap with cadet kirk and chen
latent peak
Better livis on kumari than cadet kirk, you kill more in one run
rapid sky
I got 20*32 with either Kirk or Livis, didn't really test with 30s as it didn't matter
dapper drum
you know nero works
burn them and the damage is increased hunt only explorers
use livis and and kumak
I remember doing more almost 50 lvl 30 explorers with my kumari before the rebuff
was tier 7 though so tier 6 will probably be around 30
rapid sky
@dapper drum that's an awful crew for hostile farming...
dapper drum
worked better then academy or cadet
and with proper support crew on, enterprise crew is useless
I was lvl 26 kill near 50 lvl 30's with a tier 7 kumari
and if anyone got in my way they were always running stupid hostile crew so I could get rid of them
either way I don't care what others run, I use what works by experience
rapid sky
Well with cadets you would have killed double that 😀
hollow sail
Thank you scopely for the battle fornglory event... please make it a weekly occurance
dapper drum
with cadets i was killing 20 to 30
just like you guys believe sally big gun is kinetic and i know its not
kerla boosts kinetic on hull breach
little gun always gets boost on hull breach with kerla
koth*
kerla does no gain for big gun
its always 570 to 630k with or without kerla
eager hill
@dapper drum the little gun crit boost is because of hull breach not kerla. every crit damage does 1.8*(about) when ship has hull breach
eager hill
let me kill few hostiles to show you 😉
dapper drum
i did this for hours with and without kerla and with kerla and koth, alwayd small gun went up
big gun always crits at 570k to 630k
with kerla it should be in the mid 700ks
but its not because its enerfy
eager hill
@dapper drum 2 setups both with 90% attack stat. no other abilites to activate. one with just kerla on bridge and other with anouone else. see below the crit damage increase of 1st shot with kerla
dapper drum
thats still within low to high range
on a 600k avg my crits would easily go over 700k on multiple occasions
yet they never reach above 600k avg with or without
but small gun does
also wouldnt put it past scopely tech team to not make the game consistent across the board
whole thing feels exactly like a social experiement
eager hill
if you are still not convinced I can prove it in another way where the damage increase will be much higher to write off the low-high range. will tag you.
rapid sky
@eager hill you could simply use Shev/Vel as this negates the need for crits, but to avoid the low/high range you'd probably want to do about 50 hits with each 😄
eager hill
with shev/vel his argument will be the same🤣
rapid sky
that's why I say 50 hits with each
eager hill
@dapper drum if still not convinced, why is always that kerla is on the bridge that crits get the better rng of damage range?
lofty dragon
even easier, just put vartoq as the captain, no other crew, and have someone else in a fortunate that you pop repeatedly, should be super easy to figure out

Really? This battle for glory is much easier after rebalancing. And so much better than armada events with no effective ways to get armada directives

Uncommon armadas should drop..... uncommon resources. It doesn't so I don't bother playing at all.
dusk linden
How many total battle for glory solo events have we had? How many will there be in total?
silent horizon
@dusk linden you mean the current one? You can’t do basic maths?
dusk linden
I'm asking because there seems to be a problem with scopley's math. Per usual!
scenic elk
the current event is fantastic, easy to do, good rewards...more of it plz!
silent horizon
@dusk linden there will be a total of 12 solo BFG. There have already been 7, the 8th will end in a little under 2hs. The 9th starts at 2 hs. Once that one ends, the last 3, 10th,11th and 12th will commence. What is wrong in that?
dusk linden
That's what I came with. But the announcement infers 5 days. 3x5=15.
abstract gate
Sigh, we finally get an event with decent rewards and achievable milestones and still people complain...mostly because they probably rushed ops and their weak assed ships struggle. Some people never learn, ops is irrelevant only your ships matter.
sleek urchin
The issue with this event is lvl 24/25 have to kill 38 ships for top reward, lvl 30+ have to kill 38 ships for top reward and the guys in the middle (70% of players) have to kill 80 ships for top reward
silent horizon
@dusk linden interesting. You are right. Well, it depends how you interpret their message. If you interpret it as ending on friday, or that the last round starts on friday evening. Apparently, they are going with option 1
sleek urchin
Scopley logic at its finest
winged tulip
Look at when the alliance event ends for a strong hint

Battle for Glory Good, Faction Hunt Good. Any leaderboard Bad. Armadas worst thing they implemented.
Considering how low it was coming soon who ever developed it needs to get fired.

some of the leaderboards have brackets these days... call for arms had me in a bracket with only 28&29 so was pretty easy to score, armadas LB was also the same the 1st time around

i think its 28-31

nope these 2 were 28-29, some are 28-31 some are server wide

can anyone share L30 requirement for this event?

Effort? Lol good one
abstract gate
Armadas is a joke
As is trying to do an unending battle for glory event when it takes 5–10 minutes for a system to actually load and be visible.
I could contact support about it, but I think I’ll do something actually worth my time instead.
abstract gate
<@&509691205798592532> i swapped alliances yesterday and now my points aren't being tallied for my new alliance. Supports response was basically "suck it". I've completed 3 solo events for this alliance so far and will complete the remaining 3 giving a total contribution of 1140 points, more than some of the others will have earned during the full run. How is it possible or fair that I be excluded from the rewards?
rapid sky
@abstract gate it sucks but when you leave an alliance it tells you that in the warning
shrewd totem
Yep
rapid sky
I missed out on 200K freq mods because I switched alliances in the middle of a swarm event
abstract gate
And yes when you leave an alliance it warns you that your event progress for that alliance will be lost. It says nothing about being shafted in your new alliance
rapid sky
it's worded horribly in typical scoeply style but it actually does
raw zenith
dont ask them to fix it. I do not want another round of spinning nodes or possibly worse 🤣
abstract gate
Me either but I do want the rewards I've worked for
abstract gate
If you rejoin THIS alliance
rapid sky
even if you rejoin THIS alliance
shrewd totem
How dare you be faster than me? @rapid sky
raw zenith
my guess is switching alliances in the middle of an event stops your progress in relation to new alliance to discourage alliance hopping during said events
rapid sky
like said... very poor wording in typical scopely style 🙂
abstract gate
Misleading at best..outright lie at worst
rapid sky
and actually the points you accumulated so far remains with your old alliance
abstract gate
Yay...they are 4th my new alliance is 1st
rapid sky
so what made you change one after all? 😛
abstract gate
Tired of coming in 4th after working my ass off
rapid sky
at least it's just one event you lose on
abstract gate
That warning is entirely misleading, it says you lose all progress, nothing about being unable to progress in a new alliance.
rapid sky
it's confusing but correct... they could probably just remove that part of the sentence altogether
abstract gate
Well support is gonna have a hard time closing this ticket.
rapid sky
to me it was clear when I left my previous alliance that I won't get anything, then again English isn't the native language of many players... let us know how it went with support
abstract gate
English is apparently not the native language of scopely programmers either. That warning is grammatical vomit
If a mod wants step in and do support a favour and save them the headache of me never letting them close this ticket pm me for details.
shrewd totem
@abstract gate nothing is gonna happen.It is told to you when you leave an alliance you cant participate in current alliance events.Understanding that warning is up to you
If you annoy support too much,they will close every ticket about same issue and wont respond
abstract gate
If the warning was in legible english I'd have understood it, sadly I don't speak fluent moron
shrewd totem
You can always use translation apps to make it easy for you to understand.There is nothing wrong in how that warning is written
abstract gate
The hell there isn't, and don't try to imply I can't read English, I am English ffs
It’s designed that way to prevent ppl from jumping alliances during big alliance events and reaping rewards they didn’t help earn.
winged tulip
Tbh I'd read that as if you leave you can't participate in event for current alliance, not that you'll get nothing from the current alliance event. Might be fair enough for 1 day events but a bit of a stinker to lose out on a 4 day event!
abstract gate
Pretty sure it was implemented to stop the pvp event exploiting that happened, specifically leaving and rejoining the same alliance (as the warning dialogue box is worded).
winged tulip
Yeah base raid events where you could leave, get raided, rejoin, someone else leave, raid back your res, then everyone's ahead
abstract gate
Nah the og pvp event was the catalyst, that was when people really started getting their panties in a knot over it.
We all did it for fast builds too...get your 15 alliance helps leave, rejoin, get another 15
winged tulip
Oh yeah forgot about the kills leaderboard where smacking realtas against your ex alliance base was the most efficient way to win
abstract gate
Yep, my thumbs still ache from that (one of the few events my old alliance won)
stone grail
i would hazard a guess that the old help bug was the main reason, unlimited helps if you leave / rejoin an alliance
far more damaging
you could complete a 7 day build in 1 hour
abstract gate
Certainly a mitigating factor yeah, none of which explains why we get shafted for legitimate alliance switches.
stone grail
Yeah i've been caught with that too, very annoying - even though i joined a new alliance literally as an event began
still didn't get anything
abstract gate
The 8hr cd and inability to progress with the same alliance I'm on board with
stone grail
odd though, as i'm pretty sure in the past they've compensated missing alliance rewards
under the same circumstance
abstract gate
That closes a few exploits, but going to another alliance warrants no such penalties
Yes they have
Same as they used to compensate you if you got raided due to their bug riddled trash code
cloud grail
What exploits? The poorly coded alliance help long ago that was improved since then where you can only get help and send help if you jump in and out of alliance?
The exploit where you can see an allies resources so you can decide if it was worth saving?
They weren't as game breaking as Vemet and he still ain't fixed
@stone grail I am living proof they screwed over folks on alliance rewards. Scopely has opted not to give me my alliance rewards cause I needed to hop in and out to save an ally getting raided
stone grail
Oh no i didn't call it an exploit, i called it a bug 😛
a bug which was egregiously used 😂
cloud grail
I consider in game help bugged. They've called me a cheater for their Refinery bug which I did not benefit from. I refuse to use such a poorly informed bunch to get help from. I choose the mods for information and help. And if the mods can't do anything I consider it over and done with.
abstract gate
Hello guys, exists a detailed list of the events?
Nope, sry
If you mean an event calender then no. Here's a list of events that regularly rotate though: crappy domination, crappy mining, crappy armadas, crappy dominion, bfg, faction hunt *please note the use of the word regularly does not apply to the final two events listed
earnest depot
I play in other games and it’s not a problem of getting unfair rewards joining another team for an event.The admiral has the option of letting in and also booting players. Most top level teams are invite only so , it’s not like they swoop in at last minute to collect a prize. If you can join a new alliance, your points and results should matter.
They don’t give you any warning to what specific event is coming . So you either have to jump prior to the one your in currently and forfeit prizes or miss out on the next event. Admirals will do what they need to do to make their team happy, don’t screw the player when there is no reason too
abstract gate
👆 👆 👆 👆
Exactly why I've moved my spending to a different game, all mobile games are about making money but most others realise the importance of a happy playerbase
tidal zinc
It makes sense to me to have it work that way. Stops people jumping to to multiple alliances in a single event and adding scores to each one. You could effectively have an infinite number of players adding scores to your alliance (someone leaves alliance, the points stay, next person joins in there place and adds another lot of scores). The way it currently works is spot on. The maximum number of alliance members is your limit to number of players who can add to that score.
If u want the rewards for a certain event join the alliance just before it starts and then you can contribute.
abstract gate
Ooh can I get a hit of whatever you been smoking?
tidal zinc
U can but it will cost ya 😉
earnest depot
The event is self limiting, you score a personal ladder to aquire the trophy’s. Collecting the trophy you add points to the alliance. You can only do it as long as you haven’t collected your trophy and it can only be done once
abstract gate
Infinite rotation of contributors is not possible or even feasible, even if it was only those still in that alliance would benefit not the imaginary conga line of benevolent grinders
earnest depot
😂
tidal zinc
This event is, but others (like mining) are not. It makes sense to me. Happy to admit I'm wrong if u can tell me why.
abstract gate
Well for one thing, who the hell is dumb enough to join an alliance dump points in then leave so the next dumbass can pump the score? This fictional troupe of leaderboard fairies simply doesn't exist
tidal zinc
I'm sure someone would find a way to exploit it.
earnest depot
It can be done and would set an artificial high, but not sustainable as the pumpers don’t get rewards. Only so much you will do for free
abstract gate
Closing loopholes and exploits is one thing but gimping players for their legit choices is just lazy management
ashen wharf
It's just like people that leave so people can raid their bases for points for raiding events that a few mods don't see a problem with
You shouldn't be able to participate if you are going to blantently take advantage of events instead of actively raiding other alliances.
tidal zinc
It's not that bad. It's only 1 event. You will be in the rest of them forever now you have joined.
The raiding thing is a loophole which I'm not a fan of.
sleek urchin
@abstract gate I've just noticed that the event chest runs out before the event ends surely it should run a few hours after,. At current I can cash in my trophies today but won't be able to tomorrow as the 24hr cool down is later than the chest time out????
low berry
Few more events like this and the game will be deserted
ashen wharf
What
shrewd totem
Dont think so
ashen wharf
Lol
shrewd totem
If we get domination for a year long then yea game will die
ashen wharf
It's better then armadas no one wants to pay to do or domination no one can do
shrewd totem
But BfG for a year,it isnt that bad
sleek urchin
Just wish they would even the playing field lvls 26-29 have to kill twice as many ships as all other levels to get top prize
That's all levels below and above
devout talon
It's ok if you plan carefully your progression and your ships.
I am 29 and I clear all solo milestones in less than a single repair
silent horizon
Shhhh @devout talon , stop it. They don’t like smart people over here
devout talon
I'm not saying it's necessarily smart, it's a personal choice.
People I know don't care much for events because they are carried by whales in their ally and just level up as fast as they can.
But if you do, just be aware of the consequences
novel hollow
Can all levels earn the same amount of trophies? Or can some levels earn more? I get 105 for clearing all levels as a 25.

It appears tiered, but the scale is not posted.

Hi, ref. BOG Solo, I dont get it. There are 12 rounds x 8 hours CD, at lvl11 req. are 300 points for the 4 All. Gold Trophies max. That totals 48 AGTs.
The chest is 50 AGTs. Even I wont miss any round, still not enough.
I've stationed lvl10 for 6 weeks, over-maxing all, including a full-tiered7 Phindra now at 19.5K, I can do the milestones in 1 trip&Hull with 60*15+ hosts and under 30 mins on Vindemiatrix, and I still cannot get the 50 AGTs for at least 1 chest?!
I can see the Battle there, but no Glory at all. I've worked hard at lvl10 just to not encounter such issues later. And, here I am. Is it anything I've missed?
abstract gate
Save the tokens until it comes back, at higher lvl's you gain more than you can spend (see my post above yours)
