@abstract gate Thanks a lot, got off some of my frustration, thought they'll be useless after event ends.
But, still, it should be possible to aquire at least 1 chest, imho. ๐ค
#๐-event-chat
abstract gate
They also act as an activity monitor for the alliance leaderboard so earning them qualifies you for those rewards too.
charred shadow
Considering the last solo event ends exactly when the chests disappear there should be an extra day of time
You should get an opportunity to spend what you earned in the final solo event, especially if u finish at the 11th hour

Thanks. Ive been screwed on every run of this event by systems glitching right as I hit 200 points from finish then they decide to load seconds before event ends. Where do I go for my wasted resources to be returned???????????????
Excuse my language but this is absolute bullshit that SHOULD have been fixed well over a year ago!!!!
Every event in last six months has been complete garbage that half a monkey could have thought up.
Pathetic, you want top dollar out of us then hand us garbage for our money.

I've always thought the same thing...the cooldown is useless
If there's a cooldown...might as well let us choose the freaking officers we want

@abstract gate 162m should be easy with T6 lvl 28 faction ships
dapper drum
that 33.7m will take 6 ships on a boss with burn
either use kumari against explorer or vahk against interceptor
shrewd totem
It took 4 or 6 ships for me to complete the event at lvl 28
I have T6(580k)Mf and T4(570k) Sally
shrewd totem
2 Sally,2 Mf for me just checked
shrewd totem
@abstract gate your ships are too weak for lvl 30,that is your problem
You need at least a T6 lvl 28 faction ship if you are lvl 30
dapper drum
yeah my cent took out a battleship boss ๐
was not expecting that
was just sacraficing it for shields to sally could rip it apart
dapper drum
if stupid upgrade ops was archivable I would have killed 5 with cent
but shields didn't get to recharge before I hit attack again
and by time I saw to veer off I hit stupid ugrade ops notification
ok this server lag is absolutely stupid
all 3 ships stuck in 1 spot and I only had 1 go into battle
abstract gate
We need more hostiles per system, there are too many people for the current amount
unreal beacon
<@&509691205798592532> has anybody reported that lvl22 elites are only granting one point instead of the listed 25? They are basically showing as any regular old hostile. Iโm in Kol Ran as tagged and they are definitely 22 lvl Elite Hostiles. Just searched chat and didnโt see anything about this. Am I missing something?
shrewd totem
@unreal beacon look at your score hit one and look again.It should get increased by 6
unreal beacon
Event description shows it should count for 25 points.
latent peak
Now after power update, separatist bosses are killed like the lv 22 ๐
shrewd totem
Yep
unreal beacon
I can combo kill 26 bosses all day with MF and Sally, but it says 25 for a lvl 22 either way.
Ok, just the banner at the top is wrong.
Its showing +1 but adding 25.
Still a display bug, but not an actual scoring issue.
latent peak
I don't even look at the ranked event, no chance against walet warriors
unreal beacon
I was more in it for alliance. Solo ranked is a big ole nope.
Scoring structure is the same regardless, but over all alliance actually has a shot at placing.
abstract gate
2 home runs, faction hunt after this and you're golden
shrewd totem
You ask too much

because the 1 shows over the 25
you are getting 26
1 for the kill and 25 for the lvl

spiral forge
ok, i really LIKE this event!!!! but i just donโt understand why solo leaderboard isnt depending on level, compete with wallet warrior lvl 39 with brand new jelly and enterprise isnt doable
@rapid sky : what is your actual crew against bosses with sally?
rapid sky
I've been testing different ones... so far cadet uhura captain with t'laan/decius seems to be best
I kill 10 and still have hull left with that setup
shrewd totem
This leaderboard can be done if you have full day free,but I agree it needs to be lvl based
rapid sky
then I go and kill some 2/3 dead ones and get another 2 or 3 ๐
shrewd totem
Have you tried Kirk+Spock and Decius?
rapid sky
@shrewd totem even if you have a day free, you can't compete with someone who can kill 80 bosses in one run
@shrewd totem I have no reason to as my shield doesn't deplete
shrewd totem
I can get up to Top 25 in leaderboard if I have 6-7 hours free time in a day
rapid sky
so I'm thinking next test will be just t'laan and 2 damage increasing officers
spiral forge
i have tried kirk spock 400 and decius, not working better than gork kerka amd aztebur
rapid sky
top 25... maybe, let's see what it looks like tomorrow... I killed about 30 bosses and I'm only 26 rn
shrewd totem
Maybe try Decius as cap,Carol,Tlann?
rapid sky
yeah I'll be testing nero/decius, carol/decius and decius/az next...
spiral forge
also tried kumak cap nero amd decius
rapid sky
actually my Carol is same as Kirk so not sure it'll be a useful combo
shrewd totem
Yeah then try something else
spiral forge
seems the best but not a big difference
rapid sky
well I already kill 10... I doubt I will get much more
spiral forge
also have kahn 2 % and seems a lil more efficient than decius 6 %
shrewd totem
Gorkon as cap,Khan,Decius ๐ค
rapid sky
my decius is 7 but he doesn't increase much over cadet kirk
with cadet kirk I managed to kill exactly 10, no hull left after that
spiral forge
bones cap decius and khan maybe
rapid sky
not sure I want to remove t'laan
rapid sky
yes... they are kinetic
boreal hemlock
Bone khan decius kills less but only time khan crits every round
spiral forge
well that will make a lot of combination to test. solo event is too short ๐๐
shrewd totem
Trit and unc cry as rewards are very nice
rapid sky
yes of course, but I don't mind killing a lot of them as I'm getting so much trit anyway
shrewd totem
I am very poor except par right now
rapid sky
so decius/Kahn seems to take the battle down to 22 rounds
shrewd totem
More kills or more damage or both?
rapid sky
hrm about the same kills... it's a bit of an RNG with Khan, some battles 22 rounds some 25
compared with 28 before
I suppose uhura/t'laan/decius is better as I only had 270% health bonus and now I have 300
abstract gate
Getting best results from max cad uhura captain, max t'lann and 25% carol
With t8 sally both guns upgraded

hrm how many rounds @abstract gate ?

@drowsy viper a decent Kumari will net you enough damage against a boss to make the event a walk in the park
Events like this are always hard when you just leveled up
abstract gate
Idd
rapid sky
And actually you need about 60 lvl22 for the first milestone
abstract gate
Try kumak nero and either another rom or Carol/cadet kirk
rapid sky
@drowsy viper of course I do, been there done that
abstract gate
Dude if you lvl'd ops before you wrre ready that's your problem not scopely's....read up in here and you'll see the same thing over and over, ships first ops second
rapid sky
I actually leveled up to 24 in one of the first seperatists events... had to grind like crazy with my Kehra
abstract gate
Sit at 23 until you have all you need to push 24 and get a decent kumari flying
rapid sky
Yep, or just sit out/grind the shit out of events until you do
abstract gate
Better to breeze events at 23 than struggle/fail at 24
@drowsy viper what was ridiculous about that? It's common sense
rapid sky
@drowsy viper instead of saying it's ridicolous take it as something for the future... you can't go back but you can prevent it from happening again
abstract gate
Just because you can lvl ops doesn't mean you should or have to
rapid sky
Before I leveled my ops to 28 I saved up enough rss, mats & speedups to get a sally AND tier it up to T4
abstract gate
They can be saved up for BEFORE builing ops...jeez
I'm out, you can't battle wits with an unarmed opponent
๐
I dunno
..you try to help...
rapid sky
@drowsy viper and what about speedups?
drowsy viper
I really was expecting more than โoh I didnโt have the same problem as you, youโre doing it wrongโ, to be honest. 60 separatist lvl 22 for ONE milestone is a crazy requirement and that what matters.
abstract gate
@rapid sky give up he's determined to be butthurt for screwing himself
rapid sky
@drowsy viper why is 60 a crazy requirement?
And well I had the same problem which is why I was better prepared for ops 26&28 ๐ ๐
abstract gate
Ok I'll try once more: every even numbered ops lvl your event difficulty will increase. Plan ahead, save rss and materials and speed ups so when you are ready you can pop up that lvl and get your sh$t together in time
Unless you are willing to dump money in that's the ONLY way to progress...period
Oh fss...blocked
rapid sky
Blocked?
abstract gate
@rapid sky not you, the wilfully ignorant one
rapid sky
@abstract gate got it now.. I just saw your message and then messages startes to disappear so I was confused
abstract gate
Yeah probably hiding the evidence so I end up with another ban
Gave my observations, added pertinent advice. If he can't listen and learn...not my problem
drowsy viper
Youโre criticising a single player because he thinks that the solo milestones are a bit crazy for certain levels and could be lower. This is a channel for events, and I should be allowed to give my opinion without being told to save 10 days of speed ups to spend in this event or something like that, no?

once it took ages to get the milestones with killing lvl 22, that means that you should now focus on lvl 26

Glitchier than ever... You can see how peeps get cranky with this shopping trolley performing Ferrari priced game grrr, can't get any "fluid gameplay" in sepatist systems(constant restarts)... & visual glitches the are allowed (see above) yet when I activate a shield before bed, they say me "seeing" my shields activate, also a visual glitch as their data shows no such shield(so many tickets...) when will they fix th basics(still can't shield during attack, just repair like crazy & hope) losing faith๐คฆ

Was on line, had defence ships in, once attack started( I was repairing m kumari. When it happened) every time I hit shield, I got a "can't shield during attack" message, was reduced to repairing like crazy & watching in horror as base drained, he was destroying my ships turrets quicker than possible to repair... Oh & did I mention you cannot shield during attacks??? I'm lvl 27 & still had no hope against a 33 next door.... & for all you "he should've shielded" my 8r overnight shield expired whilst kettle was boiling, morning coffee, never got to my cup.... & as I said. Cannot shield whilst being attacked,... So what are we s'pose to do, watch...

vestal wedge
Whats the best crew for Saladin against battleship bosses?
carmine lily
almost any ship around 1mil power can breeze through several bosses in one run. that's what you need to win this leaderboard. that and more time to play than the other guys.
devout talon
depends how strong is your saladin, at about 800k I can kill about 4 battleships per run
could probably do better but can't be arsed to test around officers
rapid sky
@carmine lily a T6.8 sally cost 200K trit to repair and kill 10 bosses... to kill 1600 for 800K points you'd need 32M trit, maybe it's doable but it's not worth it
devout talon
A full battleship kill gives about 17m points I think
rapid sky
for leaderboard it's 500 points per kill
devout talon
ah ye, was mixing the solo event.
I definitely skipped the leaderboard, just doing a few kills to keep the alliance in
It's a serious trit sink
rapid sky
well at 27K points I'm 44 in the leaderboard lol
I get 5.8M trit daily from solo milestones so I don't mind spending 1 or 2 on killing bosses, but it won't get me far in leaderboard
carmine lily
@rapid sky 32m is chump change for most 30+ players.
rapid sky
obv there's also the speedups but luckily I have plenty of these
@carmine lily no it isn't really, and there's 6 days of this event, and then there's also the speedups needed... 960 hours give or take
shrewd totem
@rapid sky what lvl are you?
rapid sky
29
carmine lily
@rapid sky perhaps my server is richer than most. it's rare to see a 30+ player with less than 100m trit any any given time unless theyve just upgraded something major. at that point it's probably one raid away from 0.5B and then back to the fight. speedups are the biggest hanging point for most of our people but the ultra competitive ones just buy them.
rapid sky
well I'm struggling to find any bases to raid that had 100M+ trit on our server, except the few whales...
carmine lily
we hit 200-300m level 28's on an almost nightly basis, the whales have billions, we've hit them too, takes a lot of people several hours to take that much, often 2 or 3 auto shields come up during the raid.
rapid sky
like said, it's not impossible just not worth it for 3 intrepid BPs and some gas
if you're already spending might as well buy a fed recruit pack
devout talon
lucky you, our servers is pretty much dry.
a few whales holding a lot and most 30+ have barely anything to raid
it was opened a few months ago but it's dead in terms of new players

1 - 9, 10 - 19, 20 - 29, 30 - 39
people would spend more time before jumping gun on ops and actually be ready for normal events
or just simply run a matrix of leadboards where you compete with 3 up and 3 down in from your level range, that way you could still have an advantge of alliance in taking out competition, a level 36 could help a lvl 30 in their alliance take our their top of leaderboard and vice versa
rapid sky
and how do you suggest a level 20 even with a super Kehra compete against a 28 with a sally?
they already bracketed some of the events... all they have to do is extend it to all of them

This simply means many players will slowly stop playing ranking events.. then quit... ๐

which type of boss should I attack with Sally?Interceptor or Battleship?

this time around seems like I get better results with BS
not sure if it's because I upgraded my sally, changes scopely did or both

And alot less bps too
shrewd totem
Bs
eager hill
@shrewd totem that saladin took about 25-35 hull damage. the battle report doesn't show it because of kumak. right?
rapid sky
the mitigation for both is the same ๐คทโโ๏ธ
but against BS it seems like you're keeping your shield all the way through
shrewd totem
Kumak tripled my hull health so yeah the damage is so minimal compared to hull it doesnt show it.But because Kumak effect is gone after battle my hull goes back to around 130k-150k
rapid sky
given that your mitigation is also the same, it could have been a case of crit RNG
civic vault
@shrewd totem , honestly I think is a cheat using tal in battles, considering his bugged officer ability.
You can kill same hostile several times in a row (it revives with less hull and without shiel).
So more points for you, less for others.
shrewd totem
Diff is very minimal between IC and Bs so doesnt matter which one you attack with Sally
eager hill
@civic vault on my server the guy with tal won yesterday and is at top in lb right now. it is definitely an exploit.
shrewd totem
Cant do anything during weekends
eager hill
@shrewd totem actually my sally kills more explorer bosses than the other two. using max cadet crew plus chen

@eager hill , exactly my point.on my server, several have it (including myself).but only one person uses it in events was also in realta wars.

Scopely sure knows how to ruin the fun for all
shrewd totem
I get it how it is affecting the event,but Devs and Panic arent working during weekends so cant do anything

not cm's fault of course. but it does ruin the fun for me. just a single run to complete the solo and that is all the event for the day for me.

1000 kills to get 32mill with level 22's, or suicide runs with Kumari on lev 26's. The tokens I get back make this event useless, or mindnumbing. Scopely know how to put the FU in fun.

then you advanced your ops too quick
I can do my 162m milestone in with 1 ship

@shrewd totem how much lvled is your kumak, nero, and Decius?
also @shrewd totem what is your amount of Bs that can be got
shut parrot
@rapid sky Act of War II had the blueprints for hijacked and separatist ships. Allot of us missed that.
shrewd totem
Mirror Mirror event also had those @shut parrot
So I dont think we will see an event store anytime soon
shut parrot
I'm a level 22. Mirror mirror only had blueprints for the Jellyfish, Northstar, and Envoy. According to the YouTube videos in June, the Act of War 2 event had blueprints that could be obtained by level 18+ for faction ships such as the hijacked D3, Mayflower, Legionary, and the Separatist D3
frozen abyss
@shut parrot That is inaccurate, and you can't build any of those ships without a level 26 shipyard, anyway.
grim crater
@dapper drum i can easily kill the lev 22's but killing 1000 is not alot of fun. I'm amazed anyone bothers.
dapper drum
why are you going for the elites
go for the bosses
don't even have to kill them, you get more points per damage on them then anything else, 1 battleship boss gives 17,500,000 points
charred echo
Um my server hasn't had a event for ages the fractued empire event is not even going for us
shut parrot
@frozen abyss did you watch that video? It demonstrated the event that I was talking about and how it was possible to acquire those blueprints. What are your thoughts?
frozen abyss
@shut parrot yes, it was possible to get those blueprints if you had operations 26 completed. I was able to purchase them from the mirror mirror event if I wanted them, too. At 22, you would not have been able to earn the blueprints except during the very first act of war event.
lapis skiff
And, if I remember correctly you weren't able to acquire enough blueprints from the event to actually get the ship. You could only get half of them.
shut parrot
Well I'm greatly optimistic because I believe that is prefer to earn 40-50% of hijacked blueprints in one week rather than 3 weeks of earning blueprints for each ship.
A similar sales technique was used during the Jellyfish and the Franklin events as well
merry fulcrum
Or you got a free Franklin
rapid sky
@shut parrot while the event store might open up at 18 blueprints are shown relevant to your ops level, hijacked ships wouldn't show before ops 25, then again it's also not a wise thing to spend tokens on them as you couldn't even get all of them (that video was done a day before the event was live, one of the main complaints about the event was about how you can only get half the BPs....)
unlike normal BPs which you can still buy through faction store, if you buy hijacked one you'll have to wait for an unknown amount of time until the next opportunity to buy more, and by that time those ships might not be relevant for you anymore
shrewd totem
@shut parrot they did give a chance to win those during Mirror Mirror
And about Act of War and video you posted.Youtuber is lvl 27 so yes he can see hijacked ships in event store
But till lvl 25 you cant
shut parrot
I hope so. That would be awesome. I kinda feel like I missed out.
I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that he said that he was a lvl 18 or 19
shrewd totem
Also because we got an event store very recently,so we prob wont get one again for a month at least
shut parrot
Yeah.... Maybe Santa will talk to Scopely ๐๐ฝ
shrewd totem
Santa isnt real ๐ค
rapid sky
@shut parrot you are still inaccurate as those ships were not available for your ops level even at that event ๐
and sure by all means grab those BPs the next time such an event comes, personally I rather spend my tokens in the event store for something I can actually use like officer shards or uncommons
@shrewd totem it seems that event store comes once every 3 months or so
rapid sky
yep, I wouldn't mind it either
shut parrot
@rapid sky that wasn't my point. I know that those weren't available for construction during those ops levels, but the blueprints were available in advance nevertheless.
rapid sky
nope they weren't
they only became available one ops level before you can actually build them
shut parrot
Okay. I think that I may have been a total jackalope. You guys were right. The player in the video was a level 27
Please forgive me

I'd complain less about domination events if the prizes were worth a crap.
You spent 10,000 unc and 400 rare? Good job! Have 2 mil trit and 10 mil steel!
And 1,000 dil!

I care less about craptastic domination events while the separatist event is up. Now if the separatist event had split leaderboards a bit better so i wasn't competing with lvl36+ for intrepid/gladius/brel bps that they don't need, i'd be happy..

@vapid hill 28 competing against...i mean watching...39's is just as bad.

I took 5th. Would have took 4th but because mostly got no sleep to get/stay there, took a shower with 30 minutes left, and got passed. Dumb.
WHich just points to dead server and dudes that spend like crazy but play like 5 mins a week.
Sure I'm a badass, but I shouldn't be in top ten in that bracket.

i've taken 1 or 2 many times but gotten bumped to 3rd in the last minutes by someone dropping tons of money to suddenly gain millions of points.

Saved all my faction credits for 4 months for the D4. Didnโt even get me a 1/3 of the way there. Thatโs pretty much when I gave up on this game. Not going to spend $2800 for a ship then spend another $3000 to upgrade sorry Scopely your game is broken and I have spent way to much on it already.

People seem to forget that before domination events, we had no events whatsoever between events. Domination events are essentially "filler" in between normal events. If you get points, great. If nothing, then no difference than if there was no event
robust patio
Fractured Empire leader board, at lvl 23 there is absolutely no point me carrying on once I have completed the solo event.... not when the person leading the whole event gets as many points in 1 hit as I get completing all the solos for 3 days. lvl 23 competing against 39... Same people time and time again picking up all the rewards, so frustrating.
median slate
@teal jackal the problem is that as you level up the things you can do in game reduce. Early levels there was plenty of building and researching as well as hunting for tri, hunting to level up ships etc. Enough to entertain and to make a difference to your progress and power. STFC is a game, so it's not unreasonable to expect some entertainment. It's the lack of creativity and the egregious focus on $$$ that is killing the game. The bugs add to those woes.
Global chat, discord, content creators.... it's all very very quiet as players become less and less entertained. The game is dieing and only Scopely can reverse that. #MakeSTFCFunAgain

Ok ok so there are events ok. But for one - domination at level 38 useless, separatist leaderboard cool but why to spend 4-7m trit on repairs to gain 37-40uc and few blueprints ?? Why not to split it ? Levels bellow mine cannot compete or use well tons of resources. They have problems doing their own events for their levels. Finally we need parasteel at my level I suppose itโs intentional to buy packages. Whatโs good is that we have Ferengi mondays, swarm Sundayโs but why do not add something for each day? Money - packages. I hope that devs will see drop of income cause I see lot of people just stop buying!
And before you say you can raid it - I cannot, fewer players have now any resources and those who have protect them well
spiral forge
Domination is ok, its some kind of a rebate, your doing your usual improvements and get some extra rewards to do so. Better this than nothing.
Completely agree about the "non level dependant" on the Separatist leaderboard. This event is finally made for the top 100 players of each servers, and even for these ppl, rewards maybe not worth the price. A Leaderboard when every 2/3 level can compete against each other will be more coherent (i think it was the case during armada event).
The solo separatist event is great and the rewards too. Maybe too short once you set up the good crew
slow sedge
The event elite level 22 is calculating at 1 point per damage and not 3. Please fix this!!!
shrewd totem
It works as intended.Please look at your score,kill a hostile and look again @slow sedge
You should get 26 points
slow sedge
@shrewd totem on the elite solo event it says elite l22 damage 3 points per. I am only getting 65k worth of points not 180k.
It takes 3 times more l22 elites than it should based on my calculations.
shrewd totem
Only damage done to hull counts @slow sedge
They have 14.5k hull if I am not mistaken which is around 45k points
slow sedge
@shrewd totem I could have sworn it was 3x health but you are correct sir in that it calculates to approx 45k. Itโs taking FOREVER...thanks for splaining it.

@median slate I completely agree with you. I had actually planned on quitting back in June, and decided to go out with a bang. Let my alliance raid me, formed a solo alliance, and declared war on the top 3 alliances. We had a no hit in warp 40 ROE, at all, so when I started sweeping those systems it caused a lot of chaos. Taking down ships that were 6 figures overcap on 3* res was a blast. I had so much fun I just couldn't leave.
Conclusion: this game is what you make of it. Go start a war. ๐
sharp ibex
@prisma geode in regards to that the game works fine, whats broken is your patience ๐
dark badger
What's broken is the requirement to have hundreds of 3* to upgrade anything, to include research and only getting, if really really really lucky, a max of 10-20 mixed per week. So at least 6 months minimum to upgrade ONE, again ONE item... so being picky about what you upgrade. Yeah, they give a few during some events, but again, that hardly offsets what's missing in the refinery. No matter how you draw it, it takes months to gather 275 of any one uncommon anything, and the requirements only go up. It is not a realistic goal to have a player wait months to upgrade a station, ship or even get a research in. They ARE gonna leave. Players do not and will not, for the most part, stand around waiting to gain a little power and to forcibly remove their wallets, causing them to go into great debt - most are not stupid enough to do it. This deliberate and forced stalling to make you spend money for those items is ridiculous and I shall not bend from my stance of not buying overpriced packs that "might" get you one item done if any at all.
rapid sky
@dark badger what ops level are you? At 29 I would get 10-20+ mixed per day with 2 batches every time
dark badger
I'm also 29 and I'm very lucky if I get 7 total mixed per every other day on 2 pulls of double batch per day.
noble oar
I'm curious if it'll ease up when g4 is released
dark badger
We should not have to wait for that in my opinion. It should have been fixed long ago... it's not like everyone on every server is and has not been complaining about it for months now.
silent horizon
Fully agree with you @dark badger . However, considering how much money Scopely made from this game, and that there are hundreds of people investing hundreds each month, they wonโt change anything.
Why change things, when people complain and still throw money in our way?
versed ferry
My biggest issues is I am ops 24 and why the hell am I competing against level 30+ for the fractured event??? They kill 1 Elite Boss and get 500 points while I have to kill 20 level 22's that grant me 25 points each and I am having to FIGHT for those kills against a 100 other players trying to get the kills as well.
The top 100 people in the event are all level 30+
How is that fair at all?
Why even give me the event if I have no chance in hell to compete in it
This game is so fking broken its insane
stray tide
No body said the "mad dog" that runs the company is smart
rapid sky
@versed ferry while I totally agree it would be nice to have it bracketed, at 24 you could have a ship that kills 100x22 in one run or 2500 points, a lvl30 might have a ship that gets the same points by killing 5 bosses but the repair costs would be higher.
It would be a very long grind but it's not impossible for you to get to say top 50 or maybe even top 25, every server is different point wise
dapper drum
top 50 on my server is around 50k points
top 10 is close to the millions
so you would have to kill 2000 lvl 22's
to even get into top 50 where I would only have to kill 100 bosses
which is around 11 ships for me
those in the top 3 are using ISS jelly which can clear an entire system of bosses and only have a scratch on their hull
because they really need a second rare ship
versed ferry
@honest egret If thats the case why are there not a single player level 20-26 even in the top 100?
So I understand what you are saying but its BS

@dark badger stay just the min time at lvl 20... itโs the worst level to refine... but that also happens at level 10-11 with grade 2, but we just forgot it

Wow 14 days!? That would be frustrating. Iโve never had a spell that long.
I think my record is like, 4-5 days without uncommon. But itโs been relatively decent to me lately. Iโm ops 32 (just recently. Been 31 for weeks) and Iโm averaging probably 12 per day of each mat, refining 3 batches per cycle. So 2 cycles, totals 6 batches and getting 35-40 combined total each day.
Thatโs not broken by mat. Some days Iโll get only a strong crystal pull and only common ore. But it averages out.

Wasn't it brought up last time that level 26 faction ships were not getting the extra 2 points per 1 point of damage last time? Why did it go unfixed?
abstract gate
Regardless what the next event is (faction hunt please), could we pretty please get some trit rewards to replenish our massively dwindled stocks after this grindathon event. Finishing in the top 4 leaderboard every day ain't cheap y'all
royal horizon
abstract gate
Yeah the solo has trit but nowhere near what it costs to be competitive
winged tulip
If the leaderboard was tiered better then it'd be worth trying for - but as a 31 there's no point in going for anything above top25 as someone 35+ can get higher in much less time/repairs spent.
abstract gate
At 35 I'd probably still be lumped together with the jellyfish having easymode guy
Running one ship (t8.5 sally) I can get 75k points/hr...this dude doubles that with his ISS IWinButton
winged tulip
With a 1m sally i can get about 8 26s per repair, more if i can scavenge a few at low health. so say 5k points per 5 hours of repair speedups used, while i'd need 150k to get into top 10 on our server. Not even sure it's worth the extra repairs to get into top 50 at all..
abstract gate
Oh repairs...5.5hr per run each run 25-30 boss kills. Used 1000's of hours worth of speed ups so far to maintain that 75k/hr average
Thankfully the solo is done within the first minute of event reset...
winged tulip
Yeah - guess thats the point at 30+, you can finish the solo event in a minute for pretty awesome rewards, and then unless you're 38+ you'd need some pretty strong motivation to carry on grinding for the leaderboard
abstract gate
Rare crystal saw me grind 12hrs straight for a second place lol...still couldn't touch captain jelly
That's how broken refining is btw....people will grind a leaderboard an healthily long number of hours for 2-4 rares....

@abstract gate jelly can kill 80 or 100 but costs like 3 times to repair than your sally? So the difference is the extra warp time?

Think it's a kumak officer thing. His abilitiy gives you extra health in the battle, which then disappears when it ends, and you go splat.

no more pesky 'cargo full' annoyance ๐
dapper drum
the +1 for killing any hostile overwrites the points for the type
been like that since first sep event
ebon galleon
echo bloom
@sharp ibex , your numbers are from the alliance leaderboard event, not your solo leaderboard event
Works the same way in ALL alliance events. When you score points towards it - the notification will show how many points have been added since the last time you were shown that notification, not your personal contribution.
The leaderboard events gives 25+1=26 for killing lvl 22 elites, like @rapid sky said.
And the 3 points mentioned above is actually a factor, of 3 points per hull damage done.
For lvl 22 elites that makes for 14400x3 = 43200, towards your solo milestone event
sharp ibex
@echo bloom actually I started killing seps today
echo bloom
Soon it shall feel like it's all you do ๐ @sharp ibex
One good thing about the lvl 22 elites is that they have a very high PVE chest drop rate (I think around 75% instead of the hostile normal at 40%). So they give a good amount of officer XP, speedups, relocation tokens and Horizon bps if you need them

@twilit imp Quick question to all. Its regarding The fractured event solo leaderboard....why is it that all players upto lvl 39 are grouped into one leaderboard? There is a huge power difference, and lower lvl players dont even get a chance to kill boss seps. I understand that previous solo event leaderboards had different player tiers. (Pls correct me if I am wrong.) The current event's solo leaderboard is not an equal playing field for all. Any thoughts?
raw zenith
We have been asking that question for a while now. Makes no sense to me. Pretty sure that lvl 39 doesnt need the officer shards or ship bps
alpine bison
Just hope the future solo leaderboards aren't gonna be the same.

silent horizon
@rapid sky people doing armadas outside armada events are just dumb. They are wasting their resources. And there is no such excuse that they ran out of armada credits. When the last armada event ended, i had 130k credits. Anyone who was somewhat active during the 3 armada events we had in the past month would have credits for weeks, even months. I still have 85k credits left, after 2-3 weeks of no armadas. As such, lesson of the day is, be active during these events, and the reap the rewards.
rapid sky
@silent horizon sorrt but this is simply incorrect, the amount of credits you get from armada depends on your ship strength/damage created, we have many people in our alliance who completed all the solo events and yet have no more credits now
What ops level are you and what ship did you use for armadas?
carmine lily
@charred echo it's due mostly to timezones. Australia is in Asian/pacific timezones, that's why you end up with those servers.
shrewd totem
@charred echo please pm me
silent horizon
Before the last armadas finished, I was 28. I was using either a 700 centurion or a 600 legionary. Well, this is a clasic case of โlets agree to disagreeโ. Even IF, and that is a big if, I ran out of credits, which again, in just 2 weeks of no armada event seems highly unlikely, i would still wait for an armada event to maximize profits. Plus, if you ran out of credits, that means you can only run a few armadas, open only a handful of chests, and then be out of armada directices altogether. Then, end of story. As such, even if you ran out of credits, waiting for an event is your best bet, cause you also get additional stuff. But, each with his own.
rapid sky
@silent horizon well that might explain some of it... for you a chest costs 1100 credits, at 30 it jumps to 1800 etc...
And yes you can wait for event to maximize it but please don't call those who don't dumb and say there is no excuse for them running out of credits based on your game experience
shrewd totem
Running unc armadas during normal times can actually benefit you.But I would save my rare or epic directives for event
silent horizon
@rapid sky , I can call anyone whatever I want. I explained my logic, and it is a quite good one. As such, I stand by my statement about people who run armadas outside of events. Armada directives donโt come by easy, unless you spend money. As such, not trying to maximise your return on an investment of directives is just dumb. Plus, again, if you are out of credits, running 1 or 2 armadas would barely bring you anything. And then, you are out of credits and directives, and you get nothing extra. This is my logic, not MY game experience, as you are forcing this argument. This logic applies to everyone. As I mentioned though, everyone does whatever they want, we canโt all be smart about playing this game.
shrewd totem
@silent horizon you cant insult people in here,so no you cant call them whatever you want
silent horizon
Dumb is an insult? Ok, I will go with logically chalenged then, if you want me to edit. Plus, I did not insult anyone nominaly. No one is dumb if no one feels dumb.

@silent horizon I didnt said you insulted someone,just replying to you saying I can call anyone want I want

@silent horizon your game experience is as such that you have a lot of extra credits, this has nothing to do with logic...

But I don't understand why don't you have lvl 26 faction ships
@shut inlet how many tokens for a rare?
merry fulcrum
I don't, and I'm level 28 @abstract gate
abstract gate
Rare g3 I mean ofc*
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
There were no rares available last event store
shut inlet
720 for the officers, 3600 for 1 bp, 14.4k for a 3* rare, 900 for a uncommon, 720 for 105 premium recruit , 720 for 85 ultra recruit,
late plover
14.4k for one rare?
stone grail
wait is this the next event?
shut inlet
Yep...
late plover
Yikes
abstract gate
So one per event cycle...ouch
stone grail
@shut inlet did this go live early on your server or something, or is it an event just for you guys / handful of servers
shut inlet
Thatโs if you can find the systems to be able to attack them or have them to spawn....
It was advertised weeks ago in the news and itโs only just turned up but all the information for it has gone....
stone grail
Oh, i didn't realise we were getting an AoW ๐
abstract gate
Don't suppose anyone has a ss of lvl35 requirements for that solo?
scarlet seal
That event is not live in EU servers so which servers are you guys on
abstract gate
Apac I assume
scarlet seal
so thats the next event then
abstract gate
The unofficial test server ๐คฃ
shut inlet
Who knows.... We only got 1/2 an event awhile back.....
abstract gate
Nothing wrong with domination as a background event....when it's a main event that's when there's backlash
shut inlet
The Armada events are a waste of time when no one can build the control center...
scarlet seal
Domination only works if you have a station lvl to upgrade or anything like that, once you have done that your spent unless you use USS Plastic
abstract gate
If there's an alliance event I'll dump some ship xp in a phindra, otherwise I don't bother with domination
sharp ibex
think I still got a few tokens
spiral forge
what is the next event? AOR? like the separatist event (edit :fractured empire) but with the event store open this time?
flint osprey
Battle for glory
Fractured Empire
and in a few hours, Act Of war???
Did scopley hire a new event manager that actually knows what the people enjoy!????
spiral forge
well i cant complain about this, during the long run of armadas event, everybody reclaims such events
abstract gate
Still no faction hunt...just sayin'
spiral forge
(and yes faction hunt was on the pack ๐ )
vagrant wave
Where do you see which event 7s next?
shrewd totem
Just guessing,because some APAC server got AoW early @vagrant wave
abstract gate
Scroll up
vagrant wave
Ah ok. Thx for answer ๐
flint osprey
At this rate, faction hunt might be after act of war and then I might, just might, start calling this game enjoyable again
Especially since they boosted the refinery and yet didnt announce it to make people happy about it
wise ibex
Act of War is what excactly? dmg done to hostiles?
winged tulip
Anyone on apac server post tokens/points needed at lvl30/32 on act of war? Still looking for any excuse to level ops!
shrewd totem
@winged tulip I am on APAC but not live yet
@wise ibex current seperatist event+ event store
flint osprey
@wise ibex u hit hostiles for points, points give u tokens, tokens can be redeemed in store for officer , ship bp, uncommon, rare , ship parts (based on ur lvl)
Points are based on hostiles killed not damage done if I recall correctly @shrewd totem
shrewd totem
According to ss it looked like damage
flint osprey
So it takes longer to do act of war vs fractured empire
flint osprey
Ohh you're correct!
shrewd totem
Leaderboard one is kill I think
flint osprey
Another event to finish in 15mins by hitting bosses and leaderboard owned by my 25 lvl 39 players sigh
shrewd totem
And according to event store time,event duration is 6 days
rapid sky
actually swarm is the new bosses for damage based events ๐
shrewd totem
Yep,if you have a good Franklin
wise ibex
jop, i go kill some 35 swarm ships and finish it in 10 min
flint osprey
Yeah swarms cuz no shield but I didnt spend money on my franklin and bortas doesnt like swarms
rapid sky
even with a decent sally/cent/mf or a baby frankllin @shrewd totem
flint osprey
So I'm stuck to just using my sally but anyways still easy ,
wise ibex
one good franklin? you need two! ๐
winged tulip
Can just about do 10 32s with my cent, might as well farm mod parts while doing the event too
winged light
The next event is act of war?!
rapid sky
what tier cent @winged tulip ?
shrewd totem
Looks like it
winged light
I donโt see them, how did u get this
shrewd totem
@winged light a few apac server
winged tulip
T6 - 978k power docked
winged light
Yes sir
shrewd totem
I mean a few apac servers got it early,so prob after event reset for rest of us @winged light
rapid sky
actually might have been 9x32
shrewd totem
Not a bad event this month,hope it continues like this
winged light
Yeah u are right
winged tulip
In cent using uhura kirk tlaan i get 9 full health kills and one more if any are damaged.. with officers at 270/300/270 is the best i can get them so far
That's t6 with 2 weapons upgraded
shrewd totem
Hmm
rapid sky
@winged tulip same crew for me, but bonuses are 300/270/300
shrewd totem
Yea focus on health/attack instead of defense
winged tulip
Stuck on recruit badges to promote a lot of officers - can't get attack higher without dropping health
rapid sky
actually might have been 300/270/270 with t'laan, I get 300/270/300 with Chen
winged tulip
Did just promote khan though so got some more combos to try below decks
rapid sky
even with lvl20 rare officers it's hard to max bonuses when you have cadets on the bridge...
winged tulip
Aye still waiting for them to put officer badges in the event store ๐
shrewd totem
๐ค
rapid sky
that's what I use for killing hostiles... just barely over 4200 health
if I put t'laan instead of Chen it drops
shrewd totem
You have prime officers ๐ค
rapid sky
yes, and even then I can't max the bonuses ๐
winged tulip
Yeah me too - my azetbur and rom wossit are a tier lower though
shrewd totem
Btw isnt Chen useless against swarm?
winged tulip
That's more or less the crew i use in sally for my faction dailies though, does it all in half a hull
rapid sky
yeah that's normal hostile farming crew... for swarm swap Chen with T'laan
the 300% attack bonus means killing 35s in round #1 so I can kill gazillions of them but I need 37s ๐
at least it's easier to get them to spawn that way
winged tulip
You lvl31 too?
rapid sky
30
winged tulip
Cool - wondering if i push ops32 i can get some intrepid bps from next event, rather bored with nothing to build or research - it's only swarm kills stopping me!
rapid sky
what tier is your Franklin?
winged tulip
T6 with one weapon upgraded
rapid sky
I just got it to T6, going to take about 2-3 months to tier it up in the rate I'm doing it (about 200K mods/week)
winged tulip
It's weeks of dailies per weapon atm, too grindy for me to bother much
But at 32 can get another 2000% damage from research, that should make it grind 30s efficiently if not 32s
rapid sky
but 30s don't do anything for dailies at 32 ๐
winged tulip
Aye but at least mod droprate is less awful
Atm still using cent as it's just less squishy if anyone tries to loot it
rapid sky
yeah but you lose the dailies... so need to grind more
it's 13K just from the 2 bottom dailies now... plus about 12K from the grind itself
and on Sun/Mon I'll do the top one as well for the heroic event
stone grail
it's just level 32's when you get ops 32 anyway
rapid sky
so that's another 10-12Kish I think?
winged tulip
I do all 3 when i can be bothered or skip the lot mostly
stone grail
i tend to do them if i missed some mining
winged tulip
But yeah it's swarm Sundays I'm mostly bothered about
rapid sky
haha I might do the top one as well on days that there aren't any other pve/pvp events taking up time
severe bridge
for act of war, can you remind me what type of hostiles are killed? Is it the seps or just any hostile. thanks
severe bridge
Was more looking for what type of hostile to hit for points, maybe it doesn't matter if its dmg
abstract gate
@severe bridge swarms you crazy creature... No shield.. Pure hull damage
severe bridge
makes sense. Thanks @abstract gate
shrewd totem
Either it doesnt matter or it is seps again
severe bridge
its been so long since Act of War, i just don't remember it!
abstract gate
I don't think it's seps again. 2 overlapping events... Nah..
shrewd totem
Yep true @severe bridge
winged tulip
Do you still use uhura kirk tlaan on swarm when using saladin?
abstract gate
Yup
Just don't hit though swarms... I usually went for lvl 26
But that's just me and my Vahklas
abstract gate
Too much dmg, not viable to grind for me
shrewd totem
I am lazy,dont want to hit 100s of lvl 24s to finish event
severe bridge
so i saw carol, decius, mara, and yuki as officer options. I was hoping for more options...
winged tulip
I'm at 1300/1800 to tier my sally, very tempting to spaff all the tokens on crystal
stone grail
well, Carol is a must, decius is great, as are yuki and mara
so i'm happy with those
mara probs the weakest of the bunch perhaps?
shrewd totem
Kumak,Nero,Decius for me
stone grail
will wait and see what i have i guess
shrewd totem
Or Cadet crew
severe bridge
usually its an opportunity to get shards that aren't available through other means. But the officers there are worth putting shards towards, sure
shrewd totem
I got confused again ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
stone grail
i get you @severe bridge
shrewd totem
Thought you were talking about crews against swarms
stone grail
im hoping for charvenek, maybe it's level based perhaps
shrewd totem
The player send ss of his event store was lvl 26
So lvl 28+ will prob have other officers as well
stone grail
oh ty @shrewd totem
severe bridge
that's true @shrewd totem . hopefully! wouldn't mind some faction miner bp in there as well. I'm lvl 30
abstract gate
Unless pike is in there I'll be getting rare crystal
shrewd totem
Player is lvl 26 but couldnt see any lvl 26 normal faction ship in his ss
severe bridge
right, just hijacked. so bad sign
abstract gate
Idd, we'll see in 2hrs I guess...then get confirmation 10mins later in a "news" broadcast
shrewd totem
Yeah,we will know for sure in 2 hours
winged tulip
Dunno last store had sally and cent in for me at 31 but was useless as I'd already built - hoping for intrepid, officer badges, Harrison or it's all going on crystal!
shrewd totem
Harisson?๐ค
winged tulip
He's not a myth!
abstract gate
Officer badges??? That would be a glorious day!
weak copper
Only 60000 tokens per badge ๐ฌ
abstract gate
Don't care had... Badge... ๐๐๐
shrewd totem
But what if you will get 50k tokens at max? @abstract gate
winged tulip
Sow the server with my saltyness
winged tulip
That's what i said ๐
shrewd totem
shrewd totem
I would blow up everyone ๐ค
abstract gate
I'm terrible
teal jackal
@abstract gate don't give them any ideas...
shrewd totem
We need to mute him
abstract gate
Maybe with special free pack that has 20 directives for uncommon armada๐
keen ledge
It's called a Domada.
We have a whole maniacal plan for this.
Ask @abstract gate
๐คฃ
abstract gate
I hereby distance myself from Jess's evil plan
๐โโ๏ธ
@abstract gate Jess told me to ask you what is Domada
shrewd totem
See Phil is wise.He doesnt want to be most hated mod
wind nacelle
How long fractured empire event will be stay?
abstract gate
meh, haters gonna hate ๐คท
wind nacelle
And don't come back ?
quick sand
@keen ledge According to the Urban Dictionary .... I kid you not!
keen ledge
LOL Well, that fits the combination.
shrewd totem
@wind nacelle dont think so
wind nacelle
๐ญ
keen ledge
@quick sand - we were trying to come up with the most obnoxious combination of elements. But even I can't be that mean.
quick sand
I thought that I had heard it used before so I checked
warped stag
I have my concerns about Jess. Always using abusive gifs....
wise ibex
whats about 4 weeks of mining par as a event over christmas?
keen ledge
Ok, that does sound bad.
quick sand
Someone said more Domination
warped stag
With both mining types
abstract gate
@quick sand yes it had the prefix "no" though
wise ibex
and as reward you get common 2* mats
warped stag
Para, rare and uc ore, big help with for me.
abstract gate
Idd more parsteel is always welcome...and trit, been a lot of grinding events lately
quick sand
Trit ... yes ... T8 & T9 for ships is expemsive
wise ibex
if you need trit and par you didnโt buy enough packs. scopely dont like you.
keen ledge
I don't buy packs.
quick sand
lol
quick sand
I don't mind event grinding for it
abstract gate
I don't mind grindy events, I resent events that are p2p (pay to participate) like armadas have been
wise ibex
all i want for christmas is.... a faction event and another server war
keen ledge
We need Server vs Server
wise ibex
peace allways kill the social aspects on our server.... 4 hours no one spoke in GC today
shrewd totem
S11 would be first to lose
sharp ibex
we once had ifI remember right
shrewd totem
And founders would be the champion
sharp ibex
I'm pretty sure our server is quite active with over 1.5k
wise ibex
server 134 declares war on every other server.... please hand over all your 3* uncommons to avoid hostilities
keen ledge
In my other game, it's not necessarily size that dictates who wins.
unique parrot
Itโs technique? ๐
keen ledge
It's the number of people willing to participate, play it smart, and go above the solo goal.
And the number of stupid people who fall for my bait tiles.
๐
shrewd totem
In STFC only ship size and amount matters
keen ledge
Kvk is in 2 days.
sharp ibex
as with other things in live, size does not matter
keen ledge
I will have many stories of the people who don't scout before hitting tiles.
And I will giggle as I tell them.
"It's how you use it"
shrewd totem
๐
wise ibex
nope.... we hunted a lvl 38 for two days down whenever he sends out a ship.... now we have peace again.... its not the size of your ships or wallet. its how many friends you have and how active you are
abstract gate
Size doesn't matter when yours is the biggest ๐
wise ibex
10 min till new event. prepare your franklins
shrewd totem
@wise ibex in a Server vs Server fight everyone in your server will be in your side so friends actually wont matter
wise ibex
you dont know our server, lol
shrewd totem
They will fight together if reward is good enough
