Hi
carmine lily
we usually get armadas at the worst possible time. right ater a client update, which is likely to be buggy, seems like the right time.
weak copper
Hoping for faction hunt ๐
uneven wave
Probably domination
serene forum
so,now it only leaves armadas and seperatist event to get borg points
abstract gate
I would love separatists...only takes me 45secs to max that event
kind roost
I would love to be a data analyst for this game. You just gotta think that there is so much they could do to adjust milestones and awards. Events shouldnโt take 45 seconds but also shouldnโt take 4 hrs of game time.
abstract gate
Aye, without maxed out ships for your lvl a lot events become a full time job. There's practically no middle ground at all, they are either trivial or gruelling
That includes domination event tbh, you need to have good ships to do all 3 faction hunts in a reasonable amount of time in order to stockpile officer xp and recruit tokens in preparation for the next dom event
robust vapor
I've always run with mediocre ships and only ever had trouble with the swarm events ๐ฌ though sometimes you need to find the tricks, thought separatist bosses would be my undoing last time but a change of crew and sliced them up so much better..
stone grail
ever since the power update and me being able to actually kill multiple sep bosses, i've craved for it to come back ๐คฃ
now i have Pike, i want it even more!
noble oar
Will the premiul borg tokens be inventory clutter as a f2p? Would be nice if I could trade a 6-10 for 1-5
novel jasper
@noble oar likely use them in next months brg event
robust vapor
If that was the case Scopely would have less sales on the rewards pack next month, my money is on unique to each arc ๐
abstract gate
Sigh, nobody reads the splash screen...the epic tokens will add up over all 3 main events to unlock a "mystery reward" see #669976782321090597 for my prediction of what that'll be...
robust vapor
They were talking about the premium rewards tokens, being that F2P players won't be able to use them and didn't want them cluttering up the inventory, these are different to the epic rewards tokens @abstract gate ๐
floral trail
My guess is that they will clog up the inventory unless you splash the cash. Who knows though. It seems like an illogical move to create all these extra currencies cluttering up space and their code.. no wonder they cant fix the damn bugs!
robust vapor
They could clean out old stuff at some point, yeah.. but to me it would seem an odd business choice to allow the later arcs complete a previous arc set, would cost sales AND upset people that paid for it ๐ฌ uniqueness ๐
abstract gate
It's been stated that the premium tokens will not carry over to following event store. Unless you pay all you get is solo milestone rewards and clutter
The solo milestone rewards are pretty decent considering they are essentially a bonus for doing regular events which in turn have their normal rewards still
The entire borg rollout so far has been kinda meh in terms of creativity and nuance but the rewards are ok. 2 weeks in and I'm still yet to shoot an actual borg ship...just saying
weak copper
My guess is no Borg ships till act 3. Just to keep the hype going.
floral trail
It has been super slow to be honest... I wonder how long the interest will stay for.
novel jasper
They just need to do a borg armada event! Everyone will be jumping at the opportunity!
floral trail
I have two more milestones to hit, and only have 26 shards of the new officer whom by all accounts is a bit meh and needs tons of badges to upgrade
I hope its domination... At least I can get trit by doing nothing other than leveling officers and ships
floral trail
I have 3000 directives that I cant be bothered to use..
Finding the damn things aside
weak copper
Same here ๐คฃ
floral trail
I don't understand why we don't get more directives, like 100 per day. I would probably do one daily then just while I am bored. So much hype over not much other than another dice rolling mechanic
stone grail
i think after armadas the rush was on to actually deliver something half interesting, which is why borg is out now - i reckon that wasn't in their pipeline for delivery quite yet
floral trail
Its just a super slow roll out... took me a fortnight do do the damn missions and the event is still rolling on..
weak copper
Problem with armadas for me is I use my Cent for pretty much everything bar mining. The idea of tying it up for 15 minutes to wait for an armada just isnโt appealing when there are better things I could be doing.
hardy parcel
@floral trail interest? Is there some big event on?
mental yoke
It would have been more interesting if there were actual borg events with more story than just borg points slapped on normal events. But the events have been some decent ones for the most part so at least thereโs that.
floral trail
Yeah, I like shooting stuff ๐ Shame they didn't put borg ships in one of the separatist systems to bash.

@loud solar you where so full talking about the avatar stuff, you forget the notification swipe (which is part of your title) ๐
sharp ibex
I did
wise ibex
you can make a video about three pics and a swipe? wow.
granite zenith
well... i guess @loud solar could always do a video on how constant negativity on discord leads to long term colon issues instead ๐
to be perfectly honest... the real news, is that the devs and scopely are listening. Changing Avatars and swiping away the notifications IS stuff that the community has asked for. Not personally high on anyone's priority list perhaps, but nonetheless things that were asked for, and delivered upon. will it bring new issues, probably. Are they still working on permanent solutions to issues (instead of Band-Aids), most definitely. But if you want a feature, speak up... they do hear ya... and they roll out stuff that they can when they can.
radiant galleon
@granite zenith there are many things that have been asked 1000x. Avatars may have been asked, which is true (so kudos on the careful choice of words). However, things like adding more mines get asked at least 100x a day. Still nothing.
loud solar
Lol
ashen wharf
they asked for custom avatars
Of course they werent going to do customs
Free methods?
Thats illegal
granite zenith
Because the game as designed has plenty of mines perhaps? Kill a miner.. you will feel better.
Seriously though, should they stop all work on stuff that other people want, because YOU didnt get what YOU wanted outta this patch?
prisma geode
I am telling you, you can find any 2* mine you want. Wide open
Since there are only like 10 players that mine that anymore๐
ashen wharf
true
And soon same thing for 3*
Cuz its gonna be dead soon too
When everyone gets to 27+ its a hard choice to continue to play this
Since you will be either in a chaotic server that loves hitting miners
And never progress
Or not be in a top 10 alliance to win anything to be able to progress.
grizzled saddle
Ok heres an idea for an event,, when we are going on about 3mth events,, how about a ship build and scrap event??? You can get the scrapyard really working and give the grinders more to grind,, yeah we can build 2* and teir them to max but you still need to grind them up the levels if you have no ship xp to use, we could get points on ship hold, higher the ship level in hold the more the points,its an idea anyway,, it my help the aquarium ( whales, dolphins, sharks??) If your high level the scrapyard is useful. Just thought a event to utilize it more would clear all those built up blueprints.
ashen wharf
some of us will never build 3* star ships
so theres no point in us ever getting those bps
and we dont get 2* ships bps anymore because of the current level hostiles we have to hunt
and scrapping doesnt give jack in comparison to how much you spend or gain ship xp
i personally wont ever build 3* ships since they require uncommon
nor will i pay to build useless trash ships
unless i can auto farm low level hostiles im not going to spend all day hunting low level ships
lol
grizzled saddle
You seam to be a passive player I'd say a free to play player, just my opinion but people like this game enough to get that far ahead and we all have an opportunity to enjoy playing, its game play styles.
Well if your level 33 like me you may have to do that my friend
grizzled saddle
4* ship and jelly are whales pursuits
ashen wharf
they buy on those they wont be scrapping doesnt even give them enough to upgrade 1/1000th of 1 part
grizzled saddle
But if your whale shrinks to a dolphin and then a barracuda and you still want to play without paying, then the scrapyard gives you 3* rewards for a level 35 talla
ashen wharf
thats literally going to take you months - years to get enough to upgrade 1 part on a epic ship though
grizzled saddle
Been playing a year n a half already so !!!
ashen wharf
they could easily just stop having 32+ hostiles dropping kehras etc
grizzled saddle
And I'm no whale that's for sure
grizzled saddle
I had to grind in a level 25 system to level up my talla to max after fast track to teir 7
Only took about 1hr
And I've earned a half day wait for uncommon ore and crystal and a couple of rares
weak copper
If youโre never going to build a 3* ship, what is even the point of playing??
Plenty of f2p players have a number of 3* ships
ashen wharf
i mean 3* to scrap
im not wasting uncommons for those
to max them
and get 200 uncommon
after paying 1000
weak copper
Ah ok, missed the first post
ashen wharf
if they didnt take uncomon i would
grizzled saddle
The game is progressive it is designed to take time or pay it's just the way.
grizzled saddle
Time is irrelevant in the galaxy of leaderboards
ashen wharf
i would enjoy the game more if i could get on one day schedule out at most the ability to upgrade 1 part on my ship lol
not oh "ill upgrade this part in 6 months"
grizzled saddle
Get in a top alliance and progress quickly with the community weather you be a raider or a minor
Live long n prosper
๐๐
grizzled saddle
Not true, depends what server of course, but I bet you've payed for a xbox and games for that, we are all suckers paying for what we want
I like hard work and seeing the reward
grizzled saddle
Same with this game but you wont be able to complete it like a console game
You could spend $20 on the borg points pack and get more rewards after the grind to get the premium rewards in the borg reconnaissance event, that what you would get from $99 bundle

About lat rush: Please; Make D'vour an event ship, available to all, without having to pay; or make all the permanent double lat mines non-permanent, and completely random; As it is today, one alliance have almost full monopolet on the permanent double lat, and have had for months; giving them a HUGE advantage in all mat events, and in earning lat; since D'Vour is not available to all, hitting another survey ship on a lat mine is emk; therefore this alliance willl have this advantage forever. Either make D'Vour an event ship or make all double lat mines completely random, giving everyone a fair chance at benefiting from them. -It is extremely unfair and unbalanced noe; please Make a change?
barren night
@small hamlet dvor blueprints should be available in your30 day chest itโs how Ingot mine
granite zenith
dbl lat mines on my server ARE random as well
hardy parcel
- Dvor is available for free. From past events and the 30 day chest it is easily possible to have one for free now.
- Double lat nodes are random.
Also ROE problems are your own nothing scopely can do about them
near vector
I took D'vor for free, 20 bp with two 30-days chests and 100 taken from 2 past events
And yes fast lat mines are random, every time a mine reset there's a little % to refresh as a fast one
In our server we have rules who protect prospector ships on mines
hardy parcel
Iirc there is a 1/8 chance a cleared lat node will refresh as a double
shrewd totem
Let me find the chance %.I remember Panic saying that in announcements

1/8 is the chance if I recall correctly

Oh look, my memory does work sometimes ๐๐๐
floral trail
@small hamlet I have a D'Vor and didn't pay for it. I had 60 from the monthly chests and the rest was from events. Its not all that great if I am honest and requires alot of D'vor components to upgrade it to be useful. That and you need to find a double node to stand any chance of doing the double batch refine in order to upgrade it sooner. Its a nice additional lat earner as a f2p especially once you start needing to spend lat to upgrade ships (3* survey parts and 1000's of commons per component) but I could live without having one.
weak copper
Itโs worth pointing out that just having a Dโvor doesnโt get you access to the permanent double mines in Suliban. You have to have it at max tier to get warp 40 if I recall
hardy parcel
There are permanent doubles in suliban on your server?
weak copper
Yes, thatโs how itโs always been. See the last sentence on Panics announcement that Batman posted above
hardy parcel
Yeah the rate in suliban is higher, always has been. Didn't realise they were permanent doubles though as there are some higher than others in that system
But yeah, no warp 40 dvor here so not looked in a long time
abstract gate
I just want to warn you people. Do not Max out D'vor. It will remove parts from Latinum refinery. And you will be unable to upgrade 2nd or 3rd D'vor that you perhaps want to have
Keep at least 1 module empty
hardy parcel
โ๏ธ
When is that getting fixed?
Although it's going to take 7,456,324,678,998 years to max my current one so no rush really ๐คฃ

I need to take at least the d'vor to T5.. warp range is so low since that tier...

They canโt even fix officers since launch and their answer when we complain about them not being fixed when they intro more and more to the game is well development team is totally different and operate separately from the team that Is responsible for fixing bugs..
abstract gate
@shrewd totem you really have bad info on ISS Jelly
One of first events they ran after they gave out Jelly during Mirror, Mirror was for everyone at lvl35+
Jump two levels (35-37; 36-38; 37-39) you get all BP for Jelly
After that they changes it and ran events for 36+ where you get it if you are highest spender (unc and rare ore, rare and epic armada directives were counted).
They keep changing prerequists for event, change the way who can participate and how, and it is really annoying
shrewd totem
Since I am not at that lvls,I cant get info by playing so I use the info I hear from other players which isnt true always

There's definitely some sort of memory leak with android client - chat gets slower and slower to open until you restart

It absolutely doesn't, because us players that want to be part of the competition can't, since we don't know what ops level we have to be
Are we supposed to stay 35 to qualify for the ISS Jellyfish event? Or do we need to go ops 36?
abstract gate
@ashen wharf even that is OK. Spend most money, get jelly...Problem I have is event keeps changing requists...
Imagine Domination...we need officer xp, ship xp, research or building
Now Imagine Domination which is sometimes for all, sometimes for lvl24+, sometimes for only 35+; sometimes is only officer xp, sometimes it is by spending unc and rare and sometimes is armada domination...
ashen wharf
Oh yeah i complained about that a long time ago
echo bloom
ashen wharf
I would sit and wait
winged tulip
Yep the unpredictability just encourages players to hoard stuff till there's an event which rewards spending it. I'm ops 33 saving to spent mats rushing to ops 35, for the level ops event. Got intrepid ready to build, but saving it for the next event which rewards that. Then there's random irregular replicator events..
echo bloom
This ๐
ashen wharf
They said giving everyone the same events is somehow unbalanced
But i have no idea why that would be unbalanced
As long as it checks what level you are and gives you at least a chance at completing it
abstract gate
But we dont even know if there will be an event rewarding spending mats...with track record they habe they could change it again, and run it completley different
I would honestly be dissapointed if they come out and say jelly event in future will only be for 36+...no more 35+
And it will be done like this and that every so often, but we cant and wont say when exactly
It would be disappointing but at least we would have some certainy about it
ashen wharf
Im really patient with this game ill wait a year to progress from my current level even if i get bored of having the same power ship for months
Which is how its going right now
1 part would take me around 2 months to upgrade

Honestly, if people manage their resources and rewards well; this domination event is not hard. We've had so many events that gave out Officer Xp over the past month. Assuming they did all the faction hunt events, and didn't complain about them, they should have the officer xp unless they spent it immediately.
harsh narwhal
Got to have them to manage first
I level ships and officers as I can
And the same with upgrades
And it did not help when the bullies keep hitting your miners and then it costs in repairs

Then your not on a server full of bullies then or a much higher level than the bullies
kind roost
Lol Iโm on server 20. Not sure that means much but I think Iโve heard we have one of the most aggressive servers out there. It sounds like you arenโt enjoying the game. If you arenโt enjoying the game, time to walk away
ashen wharf
yeah other servers have it way worse and they are forced to not be able to progress nearly at all
So making comments about everyone should have resources saved is mute
kind roost
Officer xp is not a resource that can be stolen
ashen wharf
Promotion badges are not a resource that can be gained
Except once
Well 3 depending on faction level
kind roost
Actually they can in limited amounts. More than once if you plan and are dual faction
But lots of officers. Not everyone needs badges
kind roost
Yep. Means more officers to promote. I need badges but still have plenty of officers not maxed
ashen wharf
Since you know they are needed to promote officers
kind roost
Anyway .... enjoy your complaining
ashen wharf
You must not do officer leaderboards or something ๐คฃ
hardy parcel
@kind roost officer xp is not the issue that's easy to manage. Faction credits and badges - those are real stumbling blocks.
kind roost
Previous posters were discussing officer xp as a limit @hardy parcel. Now you make better points. But, if you arenโt a p2w player, I donโt see how people could have maxed every green officer available from all three factions up to their last lvl. Officers are heavily slanted towards Feds. But if one or two factions are negative towards you, you can only spend those faction credits on officers. My whole point, regardless of how boring domination events are, Scopely, gave us multiple faction hunt events over the past month. For once, they set us up for the opportunity to do the events better than I can remember in the past
hardy parcel
@kind roost because you run out of officers to promote long before you run out of domination "events".
Once you get to 4k plus per promotion it just isn't viable.
There is only so far you can go without spending $$ to complete domination
Not to mention the huge paywall that is badges.
kind roost
Agreed. Except how have you promoted every other officer?
hardy parcel
By playing for a year.
kind roost
Iโve been playing since launch. One of the most active players on our server. I still have 8-9 green officers needing that first 1k faction credits
But I prioritized ship bps over officer promotions at lower lvls
Plus I never participate in ranked officer events. F2p players canโt win those
hardy parcel
For the last 6 months or so I ONLY promote during domination events.
The only officers I have left now require either 4k faction or independent credits.
Also need 1m points for donination. So if you spent any money at all in the past you are screwed in domination
stone grail
i would tend to agree too, xp isn't the issue, after playing for this long, you do run out of officers to promote "cheaply"
and even if you have them, they won't net you enough points in the dom event
dom events favour the heavily spending, or the completely f2p who haven't made much progress, it's a bit more difficult in the middle ground
hardy parcel
That's a good point, I would need to promote 4 or 5 cheap officers to clear one domination event.
Moral of the story? Don't level up, it's a trap! ๐คฃ
stone grail
yep ๐คฃ
jolly mist
22 days later and no borg armada
hardy parcel
Good! Armadas are pay to play! Don't want an armada event.
As for a new type of armada, let's see what's in the next arc in 8 days or so @jolly mist
floral trail
I have been running out of cheap officers to level; most of mine need badges which cost ยฃ100.. There is only so far you can go with saved lat in ship events. Why don't destroyed ships drop xp chests once your ships get maxed at their tier.
weak copper
Ship xp is definitely a bottleneck. Lat is fine at lower levels, but the higher you go the cost stacks up
hardy parcel
@burnt trail one time purchase only
burnt trail
Right but if you dual, its twice right?
burnt trail
Not much but a start
hardy parcel
Not even enough to max one pink officer
And certainly not enough when we get 2 domination "events" every week
burnt trail
Im still pretty low level and i left officers not upgraded for that very reason
Lvl 27 domination is pretty easy
hardy parcel
Really sucks at level 35 though
hardy parcel
Point is you will run out of officers before you run out of domination events ๐คฃ
Normally not a problem but because of the borg points and lack of transparency we dont know if missing a domination target means missing the 3 month prize.
burnt trail
Yeah that is also very very true
hardy parcel
If they just published a schedule with the points rewards so we could plan which events to do then it would be easier
Oh well, another kick in the nuts for the non spenders
burnt trail
True story. But it is the scopely way....mess it up and apologize later.
kind roost
If you are lvl 35, you are not a non spender ๐คฃ
hardy parcel
I don't spend any more. Why is there the assumption that because someone once spent money they are obligated to do so forever? Not a penny in months.
kind roost
Thatโs a great choice that I support fully. But by spending earlier, you advanced faster than game mechanics support. So there are absolutely things that are impossible now because of previous advancement. Unfortunately, thatโs just not something fully on scopely.
I have found that lvls or issues that caused headache for spenders, were not as big of a deal for me when I reached the same point because the time spent slowly progressing and grinding let me stock up on many things. Now Iโve still hit some major hurdles and roadblocks. My ships arenโt as strong as I want because to go further I need to buy packs or wait months
I get the frustration. I do. But we all make choices
hardy parcel
That's a poor argument, I'm not complaining about slow progress I can accept that.
The problem is that scopely keep adding these pay to play "events".
Any additional advantage I bought has long since disappeared and your answer is that I should be punished for spending? LMAO I did not progress further than the mechanics allow, spending is a part of the game system.
kind roost
Iโm going to unlock all borg milestones f2p. You e gotten a lot of benefit by previous spending. You are probably stronger than 90% of the people on your server. You are probably in a top alliance. You are still receiving benefits from previous money spent. Itโs all choices. You are just now experiencing some of the pain that f2p felt when you were jumping ahead. Sorry ... but not sorry? Anyway. Have a great day.
floral trail
@burnt trail I used mine on Spock, Kirk and TPring, I need more command badges and science badges to take my officers further. I can get another three badges by locking in two factions, its still the tip of the iceberg given the amount of greens, blues and purples I have that all need badges of some kind
burnt trail
I am not at that point yet but my time is coming im sure.
hardy parcel
@kind roost well choice implies a knowledge of consequence which is patently ridiculous. Besides you're still missing my point.
I don't care that domination is a struggle without spending. What annoys me is
-
It isnt an event, it's boring af.
-
It's pay to play and therefore shouldn't be in the borg cycle if we need those points to complete reconnaissance
Also, you'll be in the same boat one day if they don't change it and if they do change it it will only be because we complained about it.
You have a good one too. ๐
rapid sky
@hardy parcel to be fair you can easily max domination event (at least at 31, dunno what't the top milestone at 35) with either upgrading an officer or finishing up a defense platform, besides you don't actually have to finish all the events for top milestone in borg reconnaissance
I need another 31K points and still have 8 days to go, I missed some of the previous events
it's probably not the best investment, but worst case I still have a bunch of common officers to level up
hardy parcel
@rapid sky we don't know whether we do or not yet, as the event is not finished.
Like I said - you try it at level 35 without dropping cash
You can only promote officers if you have faction credits AND badges
I mean panic said you could do it for free if you did all the solo milestone events. To me that includes domination, no?
rapid sky
well with 31K left and 8 days it would seem like you don't actually have to finish them all but yeah I might be wrong and all next 8 days will only give 3K borg points, who knows
and well common ones only need 1000 credits, I still have a bunch of those at lvl20 which I have no intention to promote/level up, but if I wanted to do domination for borg points I could
I think we have some members in our alliance who got to the top milestone, like said I didn't participate in all the events and didn't bother with any leaderboard ones
hardy parcel
Yeah as I said earlier I've used all my 1k promotion on previous events
A lot would be solved by an event calendar like we have had with every other long event ๐
floral trail
I'm on the last tier of the rewards as well.. not sure how many points left but around 30-40k sounds about right.
Still unsure about the premium rewards since I am on a budget, but they are pretty good value compared to most things in this game..
stone grail
i cant help but think they don't advertise the premium gift at the end because they won't make any money after we find out it's 100k ship xp ๐
hardy parcel
You have too many zeroes on there @stone grail ๐คฃ๐คฃ
rapid sky
@hardy parcel I generally skip domination events unless there's an officer event or other good reason to participate, the 1.5M odd trit tokens isn't worth it, but yeah probably at some point I might run out of common officers... still a long way though
hardy parcel
I skip them too now. If not for the borg points I'd skip these too.
swift lotus
So what's the next event ? Pin the tail on the drone ?
hardy parcel
Avatar hunt!

I swear if they give an avatar as the grand prize of this event I will stop playing!

I am hoping for a Swarm event or faction hunt, I need Tritanium and officer XP.. It will probably be an 8 day long armada event though
swift lotus
Lol... save the best for last ๐

Hoping for faction hunt. Never enough faction credits and officer exp.
hot rock
I agree ๐ฏ
sonic belfry
Theyโll likely do another day or 4 of domination before this arc ends... they know how much we love it.
abstract gate
Yes please, more domination๐คฆโโ๏ธ
sonic belfry
I know many have said this, but itโd be really nice to get a completely new event, something that offers a new spin on daily play.
weak copper
Armadomination - race to build the biggest armada target in the galaxy.
Requires 750 building directives to start, of which you receive 15 a day
abstract gate
Combine best events (separatist, BfG, Faction Hunt) into one event...
Give us damage event, where dmg against faction hostiles is counted...
Make the prizes good, and give more than 3/4 tiers...so if someone wants to grind npc for hours award him not through solo leaderboard but through higher milestones.
So, lets say lvl 35, killin npc lvl38 gets 500k dmg...
Make milestones at 5 mil, 10 mil, 50 mil, 100 mil, 500 mil and 1 billion
So 2000 npc in one day if I want that top milestone. Award grinders
floral trail
@abstract gate they did something similar, it was easier and cheaper to grind swarms as they have no shields
abstract gate
Yeah, swarms are similar, but only dmg based was solo leaderboard and as always those are for people with best ships...
In any case I would love events that award grinding, like BfG as is now is 10 min event for anyone with decent ship. So, keep those 90, 180,350, 750 points with same rewards, but add 2000 points, 5000 points and 10 000 points milestones to it
timid quiver
Hoping for data event ๐
shrewd totem
Nooo,not untill they fix nodes

So you're thinking Faction Hunt x 2 days, then Swarm x 2 days ?
steady scaffold
What event is?
gentle pulsar
grizzled bough
its swarm event with borg points next
kind roost
wait for the complaints!
hardy parcel
Rage! Rant! Argh! Swarms! Rage!
Like that? ๐คฃ
shrewd totem
It is a good event ๐คทโโ๏ธ
hardy parcel
I like swarms. Takes a long time but the rewards are really good. Just how an event should be imo
winged light
Itโs an awesome event
shrewd totem
Only problem is it gives less borg points than domination ๐ค
abstract gate
Does not matter...we have what 8 days left, and if you have done all your solos including imminemt threat you should be at around 200k borg points mark now
sharp ibex
nope
finished all events (perhaps missed one goal of 1800bp), bought 20k, and am at 188k
so even if your alliance was constantly #1 in the associated ALB's, you are not able to be at 200k already in f2p mode
F2P's should be around 170k now
devout talon
I have done everything f2p so far and occasionally got some extra points through ally event and I'm sitting at 190k.
No purchase at all
34k missing for last milestone, so in 7 days would be less than 5k per day
Seems easy doable
sharp ibex
oh right, that dreaded mining event was probably the reason
even there, I just missed the last solo milestone I think
but 190k can't be right without alb benefits
abstract gate
With ALB benefits, no solo benefits, and strictly f2p for this event, before swarm started I was 199.7 k points
sharp ibex
then you got a lot from the ALB's
flint kettle
No alliance swarm event event?
hardy parcel
@sharp ibex 193k as f2p
shrewd totem
@flint kettle no alliance event with swarm
sharp ibex
168k without the stuff I bought
flint kettle
Weird. Normall this event is on Sunday. Well not complaining. Free rare and Khan.
quick sand
173.7K ... but I'm not worried ... 51.3K and still over a week to go ... 2 x swarm 18K
shrewd totem
You either missed mission event or some other ones Vit
abstract gate
No, could not be more than 15-16k from alb for me....but even if you are at 180k (thats no alliance benefits) 8 days left at 45k...it is like 6k per day and you are there
sharp ibex
last milestone on the mining event
shrewd totem
Should be more than that
abstract gate
Yep last swarms gave more points than advertised for me
sharp ibex
no, I mean last BfG
domination was always easy to finish
so I missed 2 final milestones on events, for the rest, I finished all of them complelty
the rest of my bp's is from the mission (including finishing imminent threat in paymode), and ALB benefits from being in an alliance that usually ended up in the 11-25 range
and the 20k pack (in order to play imminent threat)
granite zenith
you musta missed more @sharp ibex i only bought the premium unlock and im at 189k, and missed a mining tier
sharp ibex
as said, two final milestones
one being the mining tier, and one being the last milestone for the latest BfG
came 10 points short, ran out of time
the premium unlock for $50 contained more borg points then the $20 pack
granite zenith
permium unlock is only 20 and came with 0 borg points
there was is a $50 and 2$20 with points
hybrid ibex
190k f2p before the swarm events.
hybrid ibex
no solo reward and not in a top alliance so alliance rewards were only in the rank 10 and below category
granite zenith
well you SHOULD be 50k ahead of us
sharp ibex
no, 15k
let's assume a rough 5k for the two milestones I missed
even less, since I also have some ALB points in there
hybrid ibex
Did you do the event that gave you points for doing the missions.
sharp ibex
yes
granite zenith
oh you got the $20 point pack
sharp ibex
I even finished imminent threat in time, before they made it F2P
which was the reason I bought that pack
hybrid ibex
maybe you should open a ticket.
sharp ibex
t least with dark mirror, they kept their promises
granite zenith
no he should join an Aliance
hybrid ibex
f2p with all events done and mediocre allaince rewards give you around 190k points by now
sonic belfry
Iโm at 161k only missed too tier reward on first day
granite zenith
i dont know what to tell ya then...
sharp ibex
first day, ah, apple day
sonic belfry
Iโm sure weโll make it, 7 days left
sharp ibex
and there may also be milestone differences between players
sonic belfry
True, Iโm a level 28
sharp ibex
I've seen that with domination, while I can only score a max of 160 for the ally, someone at 30+ can score 190
shrewd totem
BfG?
sonic belfry
Youโre THE BatMan, of course youโre always right!!
sharp ibex
@shrewd totem piece of advice, if your feet can no longer grab a ceiling, use a rope around your neck ๐
sigh, guess I'll need 4 runs to 'Von' to finish heroic
3x30 brings more points (30) then 9x28 (9)
I am glad to have enough dili tokens for the repairs ๐
granite zenith
trophies differed for the BFG, but the Token amounts were the same per milestone
shrewd totem
Yep
shrewd totem
We dont have an event calendar so no idea
sharp ibex
not even panic has one ๐
dapper drum
seriously we need an event calendar
so what if people plan ahead to maximize it and reduce spending it will bring so much stability to the gameplay
flat fog
@dapper drum scopely stopped reading your post after the "reduce spending" ๐
edgy stratus
Swarm events is boring. Please come up with something better. Itโs sad to see the same stale events over and over.
shrewd totem
So domination?
waxen galleon
They are not stale. They are all brand new events because they have a Borg token attached to the event picture.
alpine yoke
Is part 2 going to follow immediately after part 1 ends?
waxen galleon
I believe so. We will get a few new Borg missions and then 29 days of rehashed events with Borg tokens.

One player has Jaylah

Pretty sure there are no more Franklin missions for me. This is extremely upsetting.
Swarm events give Kahn and Marla shards. Why not Jayla? Jayla would make more sense.

frozen abyss
I'm getting reports from some players in my alliance that they have an event called "Military Supremacy" that is not showing for me again. Is there a reason that some players get extra events when others don't?
inner storm
That event for me is crap lvl North Star for points using 3 star mats than the rewards are 2 star mats makes no sense
frozen abyss
I'm level 31. It would be kill high level hostiles or tier my Saladin or Bortas, but I don't even have it.
frozen abyss
nope
inner storm
Lvl 19 I can kill 26 plus for the event looks like about 500 kills should do it
odd panther
What does it do then?
frozen abyss
It means that you get the resources to research the Prime Protection item, which adds 100% to what your vaults protect
cloud grail
Ugh lmao 50 pts? Seriously?
odd panther
Shouldnโt be called a vault. More like a safe.
obtuse otter
@frozen abyss Event appears at 32
granite zenith
not true... i had it at 31 last time... and lower levels have it as well... it seems to be tied to if you have particular faction ships or not
or if they are leveled enough
frozen abyss
@obtuse otter It's not based on level, apparently. It's got some sort of secret requirements that nobody knows about. I didn't get it at level 29, either, but other level 29s did.
I have 2 T5 faction ships (Bortas and Saladin), which is less than the others had
mental yoke
I have it at ops20...but you can have mine if you want as the rewards are pants.
granite zenith
it seems geared toward people who are underpowered for their ops level
obtuse otter
There was someone last time that upgraded ops and the event opened up. Pretty sure it was to 32. Encouragement to build/upgrade rare warship for me. Pushing spending at different levels again.
granite zenith
so if you didnt get it... you are not underpowered
that would be probably because he was not underpowered for a 31, but became underpowered as soon as he became 32
echo bloom
So, kill 500 lvl 40 hostiles in 4 days
I would, if I could find a system with a decent amount of lvl 40 hostiles. Any ideas?
obtuse otter
Luckily I'm not concerned about being underpowered or any stigma associated with that, so...
I'll just grind out 500 hostiles again
Thanks Scopely
๐
abstract gate
I didnโt get them this or last time around, am curious as to the rewards though!
frozen abyss
yeah. I'm curious what the rewards would be for my level. I really need the uncommon materials
obtuse otter
67 uc crystal, 47 uc gas, 6 rare crystal and 19m trit in tokens at 32
echo bloom
I don't really need them to be weaker, I need them to actually exist... The level 40 hostiles that is
I'll look some more
obtuse otter
I hope I counted that right
frozen abyss
Check the level 39 systems. There are tons of them.
granite zenith
you have to kill others to make them spawn...
echo bloom
That's the problem, no lvl 40 systems, only lvl 39 systems
abstract gate
Those arenโt bad rewards
obtuse otter
I'm killing 40s in B'moth right now
abstract gate
Lvl40s would be tough though
obtuse otter
need Pike though
granite zenith
its always been circular... kill 2 38 spawns a 40, 40 spawns a 39, 39 spawns 2 38s... rinse and repeat
frozen abyss
I need 43 more shards to unlock Pike
echo bloom
I have Pike and am triple rep locked, so I've done a fair share of killing lately... I just wish they would add some level 40 systems
frozen abyss
They do level 39 because they don't want hostiles over level 40 outside of Dark Space
echo bloom
That's what I have assumed, but it also makes finding level 40 hostiles more difficult than it should be, with them only being the top level hostile in the warp 39 systems
inner ginkgo
Teammates are saying they didnโt get the event. Theyโre the same level I am. Is it a time zone thing?

We have some that have event and some that don't, trying to figure out how or why seems impossible
Last time scopely said how and why is proprietary information

Nice
ocean rune
I't may be a combination of elements but it's not strictly level based, tier of faction ships based, rep based
I have people on same level as me who have it, who have same tier faction ships and similar rep
radiant galleon
Iโm at level 20 with no Franklin & NS. I canโt get points to upgrade & cannot kill level 26 swarms. Plus, I never get store offers for BPโs. Iโm confused on how the form the events depending on player level, ships, etc.
ocean rune
Store offers change based on spending
If you haven't bought a pack more expensive ones won't show up
I suggest you buy monthly pack if you want access to buy larger packs like Franklin and NS
At least there's a good explaination for that one..
@radiant galleon
tawdry kindle
Pffff, considering me wee ships can only take on maybe 6 lvl40โs before a full repair, that would be a โnoโ ๐
And even IF they could do more, would have to whack at least 500 (!!) lvl40โs for completing it ๐คฏ. Traveling times included + repairs costs/times + that youโd have to whack just a tiny teeny bit more then a โmereโ 500 reds (cuz not every red spawn gonna be a lvl40 ofc), imma estimating that would pretty much result just the same in a โnoโ ๐
granite zenith
so what you are saying.. is that your ships arent stong enough at your ops level... hmmmm... thats prob why you got the event, just like me and everyone else who did
frozen abyss
I'm level 31 and can kill level 36 ships readily, but the level 29 player who got the event has to kill 36s. The level 33 player has to kill 40s. I'm guessing I would have to kill 38s, which I could do without too much trouble, but only about 11 per round.
granite zenith
yes at 31 i had to kill 38s... and it was tough... its a measuring stick... if you cant measure up you get the event
same thing they do with the combat missions
tawdry kindle
No @granite zenith , what Iโm more trying to say is that the targets for completing that event is a bit to much, even if having the proper ships/officers for it... Like when they downgraded them swarm goals for only 1 point per lvl32 for instance, that was way beyond reasonable... As am liking it to do events, but if the time required for it goes beyond reasonable, Iโd rather be spending time & efforts elsewhere ๐
granite zenith
this is the 3rd time they have run this specialty event... it is geared toward getting you to have your ships at a certain combat level... its not beyond reasonable... if ya dont wanna do it dont do it...
tawdry kindle
Yeh lol, I get that mate ๐
Itโs just the time required which would have to be put into it (if anything else then being able to build them epic grade3 ships) doesnโt balance it for me to even considering doing anything related to such events (upgrading ships/officers, purchase packs, etc) ๐
weak copper
At level 33 I have to kill lvl 38+ for 2 points. I can do that easily and with 4 days to complete the event, it wont be an issue to hit the top tier
Plus Iโm doing that grind anyway to get my Fed Rep out of a hole, so this is pretty much just free trit, uncommons & Rares for me ๐คฃ

Nice1 ๐๐๐พ. Just keep accumulating them goodies @weak copper , for that one single moment until you slip up and Iโm gonna bring you some cookies and an IOU note ๐๐๐
But joking aside, yeh, on your level thatโs a very nice event; on my level, well...๐๐. If target would be lvl39โs instead of 40โs, I quite likely would go for it...๐
robust vapor
Well I hate to ruin theories.. but if this event is given to people who's ships don't measure up, then why don't I have it? ๐
I doubt you'd find a level 34 with ships weaker than mine.. rocking that 800k Bortas ๐

Thereโs some other criteria, the ships thing doesnโt seem right based on my experience

my guess is that it is a build and upgrade event ... They're showing me ships that I dont have enticing me to spend to get the prints to build... Only a guess

maybe they should be transparent about stuff
so we know
and it wouldnt be a freaking mystery

Does Anyone know when the next race to ops event is occurring?
carmine hemlock
Any known trigger for the military event? It seems totally random and I would actually like to do this event... How do you active it ?!
abstract gate
My thoughts are that Military Supremacy triggers depending on ships you have and ops level. What are exact conditions we don't know.
@steep flax no
robust vapor
I doubt it @abstract gate I'm 34 with only a baby Bortas, I don't have the event ๐ถ
robust vapor
Well there's a Saladin too, but she's even worse ๐
But no 32 or 34 ship, and ships are all underpowered for my level. So all those theories are bust ๐
shrewd totem
How close are you to a lvl32 or 34 ship?
robust vapor
54k Klingon credits, so I guess close to b'rel if I wanted it..
shrewd totem
I have dozens but none of them will make sense for you
robust vapor
I also have a gold helmet ๐
ashen wharf
could start some funny rumors with avatars
robust vapor
I just think it's funny that 9/10 theories I immediately prove wrong. Scopely need to be less secretive..
robust vapor
Oh yeah, my wallet is deeply touched by this swarm event I have ๐ด
sudden depot
The lack of transparency on events is extremely frustrating. Late last night some of my alliance mates got glaxy supremacy and some didnโt. Unfair boost of uncommons for some
shrewd totem
Wish at least we knew the reason why some gets that event
sudden depot
Indeed
robust vapor
Lack of information is like the hall mark of this game. Hopefully one day they'll adopt a more customer friendly approach to providing information in general. Give me 10 page patch notes, an in game guide, in game event calendar, and criteria for upcoming content.
My entire experience in this shouldn't be based around the player base just trying to figure it out all the time..

Re supremacy, some of my team mates with same ops level and same ships than me have this event... I donโt. Looks like there is maybe a problem
meager galleon
No, you just donโt meet the requirements
crude aurora
And what are they ?
meager galleon
We donโt know ๐ฃ
crude aurora
Excellent ๐๐๐ (thanks ๐)
hardy parcel
@twilit imp what are the requirements for military supremacy? Seems very unfair that some get this event and others don't
shrewd totem
@hardy parcel he doesnt work during weekends
meager galleon
Feels like ground hog day
hardy parcel
And? He might decide to answer, he is online after all.
It's not like I actually expect an answer anyway ๐คฃ
shrewd totem
He isnt online ๐คฃ
hardy parcel
I'm not excessively tagging so what's the issue?
shrewd totem
He forgot to turn his computer off probably
Just saying dont expect an answer till Monday
hardy parcel
Don't worry, with scopely my expectations are pretty low ๐คฃ๐คฃ
hazy stag
Yeah, I would love to have it. Strangely my fellow alliance mate, same level, apx same power ships got it and I didnโt
cerulean osprey
Same problem in my Ally with the Event.
Couldnt Scopely ask the Starship Troopers for help? Cause they live to kill Bugs. ๐
๐
noble oar
I'm curious what the people who thought up military supremacy are smoking...yeah I got a a faction shipr eady to drop, able to tier one 5 times or able to kill 500 npc's 7+ ops above me without probem
steep flax
@quick sand I'm sure you get a lot of questions so I don't mind if you don't have time to answer mine, But would you happen to know when the next "Race to operations" event will occur?
quick sand
When it comes to events, only Scopely knows
gleaming quiver
@quick sand do u know why some players see Military supremacy event, and some dont? Talking about same lvl players
robust vapor
No one knows why @gleaming quiver question has been going around all day.
gleaming quiver
@robust vapor tnx, i see...apsolutely gutted
quick sand
@gleaming quiver
robust vapor
You might need to post that in bug reports too! Heck, sticky it in every channel ๐
gleaming quiver
How can requirements be unknown?!
robust vapor
Because the mods here don't work for Scopely, can only work on the information that they have (which is more than us regular folk, but not everything).
shrewd totem
Yep ๐
tiny dagger
๐๐๐ is grateful for mods ๐
robust vapor
I'm nostalgic for the old days of game mods, in game gods with the power to do whatever!
shrewd totem
I want that!
I want to ban everyone and raid them ๐คฃ
Then ban them again to win leaderboard events
๐
robust vapor
GM's don't need to raid ๐
shrewd totem
I dont want to raid to progress,I want to raid so others suffer ๐
Plus if they lose their rss,they will buy packs ๐
robust vapor
Psh, a GM could just take the resources away ๐
Back in the days of Lord British I guess though, too expensive to employ people ๐ฌ
shrewd totem
I dont want money from them,just give tools to do everything in the game and I will happy ๐
robust vapor
I wouldn't trust you ๐ but people that could actually fix player issues on the fly would be nice..
shrewd totem
You dont trust me!๐ก
robust vapor
Shield has failed? Ships all randomly in warp? Disconnected and can't login? ๐ค Batman must be raiding me! ๐

What are the requirements for having the military supremacy event?
abstract gate
I know it is probably like askin for wining lottery numbers, but here goes...
Any chance of Race to Ops event and if so when (or is it at least very thoon)
gusty rose
@olive kernel no one knows, especially not the mods ๐คฃ
hardy parcel
gusty rose
There seems to be no consistent reason why one person does and others dont.
olive kernel
Ok so it was just winning the lottery got it lol
gusty rose
Night all, 3.30am here i need to sleep sometime...
abstract gate
Will the excess borg points carry over to the next part?
dapper drum
yes but those are already earned
abstract gate
@dapper drum erm nope
dapper drum
and this event is still running
so they won't count
they have to be earned during an event that requires them
abstract gate
So stage 2 won't need them?
dapper drum
you think scopely would actually let potential income loss occur
abstract gate
Well I ain't buying the points pack if the points dont count so, income lost already
abstract gate
I didn't get the supremacy event either
nova valley
@abstract gate no, borg points will be removed from inventory at the conclusion of this frst arc. that was shared by gala in a public chat last night. we're also being todl that the premium reward tokens 1-10 will ALSO be removed if they are not used (ie using in event store by paying the 20 premium pack)
dapper drum
probably would need multiple packs to complete it and they know you won't buy multiple packs
where as others who could complete in 1 or 2 packs
probably get it
nova valley
you will kp the epic borg reward tokens as those will be used in future arcs
abstract gate
Then shouldnt any points we earn now be epic otherwise its pointless completing the borg events literally
abstract gate
@nova valley so the borg events reward borg points, if they dont carry over then I dont need borg points
nova valley
well, i woudln't use pointless. you no longer will need the borg points, but there are still otehr rewwards, such as rss and materials that can be earned. no diff than any other event.
personally, i would evaluate if the effort is worth the reward for you. for swarm, 100000% YES, cause i need the trit.
but ye, the borg points will carry no value for me once i'm maxed.
hardy parcel
Well that's good news at least they won't be stuck in my inventory forever.
Best take a few screenshots before the event ends tho. No telling what else they will "accidentally" remove
abstract gate
Figured out that I didnt get military supremacy as I had a ship to tier
gleaming quiver
Figured out that I didnt get military supremacy as I had a ship to tier
@abstract gate
What u mean @abstract gate
nova valley
As i said before. this event selection is "working as intended" i just don't know the qualifications to get the event
abstract gate
@gleaming quiver my sally just needed me to press tier on it so I obvs didnt get the event as scopley wouldnt of benefitted from it, basically I would if finished it without spending
nova valley
i dont know that that is an "obvious" explanation lol imo
abstract gate
@abstract gate neither my bortas nor sally are ready for tiering and I donโt have the event
gleaming quiver
Same here, i dont have ships to tier
hardy parcel
There are a lot of conditions, I'd bet one of them is spending habits
gleaming quiver
My m8 in alliance spend bunch od money every day, and he doesnt have it
jagged inlet
Maybe time to speak to Apple about discrimination and lack of transparency? Are events money spent, level, faction, ships etc. Feels like I may have wasted some money trying to get the requirements to unlock event.
calm stream
I am ops 32 and I have only a centurion , I have the event
Few rares cristal and uc , donโt know why people are whining about this useless event
nova valley
i'm a 32, and DO have a t7 glad. and also have the event...
@abstract gate brought up an interesting point earlier... could it bethat you have a certain faction status and NOT a ship for that faction? potentially?
red wolf
What is military supremacy and why havenโt I ever gotten it?
nova valley
i am triple faction, but only have one level 32 ship.
calm stream
Scopely want you to get a faction ship
I can get a lv32 faction ship so thatโs why they gave me the event
jagged inlet
Running a 1m power sally. What else do they want?
nova valley
@jagged inlet love the name by the way... but are you perhaps at least consort level with any other faction besides fed and DON'T have their ship? tat COULD be the factor we're looking for
jagged inlet
Single faction not yet locked.
calm stream
I am 2 factions positive
nova valley
so you DON'T HAVE the event because you have a 1 mil faction ship AND a powerful ship IN THAT FACTION....
this is a new theory, and we may have somthing here...
red gulch
@gleaming quiver I didnโt get event either. Level 35 and everyone else in my clan got it also. I got the lane stupid answer from customer service you did. As if I was level 15 lmao
nova valley
you have two factions @calm stream but NOT both ships for that faction........
@red gulch ok, let's look. what factions are you consort + in and do you have a faction ship for that faction?
calm stream
@nova valley I think itโs just because I didnโt build any lv32 faction ships
red gulch
@nova valley thatโs not my case. I donโt have level 35 or 32 ships.
nova valley
ok. so you "satisfy" my theory here so far....
@red gulch what's your ops level?
and what faction(s) are yu consort in
red gulch
Iโm level 35
gleaming quiver
I'm associate with FED and ROM, and have 2 faction ships around 950k
red gulch
If you have yet to โbuildโ the ship, it wouldnโt reward you to build the ship in the event,
nova valley
@red gulch to confirm. you are level 35, have no 32+ ships... what are your current rep levels, all three factions please?
red gulch
Iโm almost respected in two factions
Itโs a bug or oversight, no answer to to it other than that.
jagged inlet
So Iโm ops31, fed associate, single faction - no event
nova valley
no, i dont believe tht. there IS a formula. we just don't know what it is lol
it's NOT random, i know.
gleaming quiver
We should have defined criteria
nova valley
@jagged inlet that makes sense. single faction. no event, cause you have a sally. a high poewered one. i bet if you popped 32 today, you'd get it.
gleaming quiver
This way, they discriminate players, thats not right
nova valley
the defined criteria doesn't make it discrimination or not. we just don't KNOW what the criteria are.
but i do know it's working witha purpose. i just can't solve the puzzle.
red gulch
Events end 4 minutes earlier for me, thereโs a loop hole in my server lol. Prob everyone in that 4min gap is missing event but doesnโt know it, hard to know what you donโt have lol
gleaming quiver
I can boost my OPS to 30, if that would help. But sam lvl 29 guy from my alliance has event
And got 12 mil trit, UC crystal
nova valley
i dont think 29-> 30 would do it.
gleaming quiver
That puts me in disadvantage in game
nova valley
i think the diff is for the shipyard levels. and the ships you ahve in comparison to the rep and the "capability" of building it
red gulch
And human error is the ONLY formula here @nova valley
nova valley
but @red gulch is an outlier to my theory.
jagged inlet
@nova valley if scopley tell me that then I would push the button for ops 32 but how am I supposed to I know
nova valley
@jagged inlet i of course don't want you progressing further than you want. so let me ask a few questions before i ask. what EXACTLY is your fed level?
are you 10 mil?
or less?
jagged inlet
8.95m
gleaming quiver
We have to know criteria.
My both factions are around 3.2 mil
nova valley
ok, so you could, as of right now, be able to purchase an intrepid blueprint from faction stoe using faction credits, correct?
red gulch
@jagged inlet donโt push ops in hopes that Scopely will wake up and give you event lol, itโs a 4 day event, that 24hrs already passed
I can purchase epic ships if I wanted...I want the event dammit lol
jagged inlet
@nova valley yes I can get intrepid BPs
nova valley
@jagged inlet i am asking you to do an experiment for science. PLEASE do not feel obligated to do so. this is 100% YOUR CHOICE. but, i BET if your SINGLE fed rep is 8.95 mil, and you are level 31 ops... i'm BETTING that you complete ops 32, and the event pops for you....
ONLY DO THIS if you are willing.
red gulch
nova valley
ther'es no major pack, pve, or pvp changes from 31->32.... so if you're WILLING... i'd like tos ee if it pops. i kinda think it will
IF my theory holds. lol
rapid sky
@nova valley dailies change at 32, major difference for swarm is one
nova valley
the other side of that coin is i very well could be wrong. and then you'd be mad at me LMAO
red gulch
@jagged inlet 31 is not Sam e as 32. I wouldnโt do it lol
rapid sky
And all events of course
nova valley
@rapid sky thank you, @jagged inlet be aware of swarm requirements change at level 32.
Swarm SUNDAY AND swarm dailies will increase for you. ina bigggggg way
red gulch
32 is same as 33, lol
nova valley
you will now have to kill 189 level 32 swarm for swarm heroic events and sunday events to max out reward. it's a big big change i had forgotten about
srry. 188 swarm. not 189. but still. lmao,
red gulch
Anyway @nova valley customer service reply was lacking an answer. Everyone in my clan has event but me.
nova valley
customer service is responding as they've been isntructed to, "event is working as intended" and i agree. i'd like to know the criteria.but they didn't share it the first or second times, and they aren't sharing this time either.
this is the THIRD time this event has rolled out to specific people.
jagged inlet
@nova valley I wanted to finish getting the sally to tier 7 b4 going to ops 32 but need 1000 unc crystal to upgrade last box.
Maybe might see if someone else is willing to make the jump from 29 to 30
nova valley
i DON'T think 29-30 does the same thing. i thin it has to do with 28 vs level 32 for the faction ships.
abstract gate
@jagged inlet I started the lvl 31 upgrade and was holding off the tier 8 button push
jagged inlet
Hummm decisions decisions. Will have a think and make a decision later this evening
nova valley
and hell, upon further thought, it may not even be OPS.... it could be SHIPYARD....
ALTHOUGH im 98% certain during the last one, someone told me that they got it when they popped an ops level.
jagged inlet
Ship yard is at 30 for me. Last thing to upgrade before ops
abstract gate
Pretty sure this one is a lucky dip
red gulch
@jagged inlet donโt do it.
nova valley
@jagged inlet i'm a HUGE proponent of not going up til ships are ready. i would feel guilty asking you. please don't do it.
i'll find someone else who is ready. if your ship isn't ready to go up, DO NOT do it.
red gulch
Especially since this is third time event hasnโt been distributed properly
nova valley
i will restate @red gulch and i know you're frustrated lol BUT the event IS being distributed properly according to the scopely math, we just don't know what that is.
red gulch
I bet thereโs more players that donโt have event, just not aware of something you do not have.
jagged inlet
Gonna bring it up with Apple then make a decision.
abstract gate
All events should be distributed equally, since day 1 we all have the same opportunity to advance, for scopley to select some and not all is blatant preferential treatment
nova valley
apple? lol im not sure they have anything to do with it lol
red gulch
@nova valley they have no idea. Just like when thereโs a bug. They gVe us canned answer. Itโs working properly, cuz itโs human error.
nova valley
@abstract gate not true. unless you got the event for the iss jellyfish, and i didn't... so i'm mad now. lol why do i not gt the northstar events anymore? discrimination.... why do i not get the packs for racce to ops20? lol this is the EXACT same type of thing. so your statement is not true. packs, events, rewards, have always and will always be dependent on criteria.
jagged inlet
I will get banned if I discuss what I will be talking to Apple about
red gulch
@jagged inlet Iโm Apple also. But other iOS users got event.
And Apple has NEVER helped me with this app.
abstract gate
@nova valley which is total bs, so some ppl spend more give them the issue jelly, I spent more than others so I dont get the event?
nova valley
it's not apple vs android for event. but i know what @jagged inlet is talking about and yeah, don't do that here lol
the jelly event, OR this military event, neither one, have anything to do with spending as a qualifer. both of them are related to some type of level or power. for the iss jelly, it was ops.
red gulch
Level or power is a qualifier lmao
nova valley
that's exactly what i said lola, i said they don't have anything to do with money spent.
red gulch
But the game ISNT working as intended. Only true answer.
abstract gate
Its not equal opportunity to offer events to some and not all!!!
nova valley
๐คทโโ๏ธ
@abstract gate would it make you happy to get the same event rewardsa as a level 10? lol
your argument doesn't hold up. rewards, events, EVERYTHING has always been based on ops.
abstract gate
@nova valley yea as I deserve an event!! I've had no decent event to do since I completed the swarm event 2 hrs after it came live
nova valley
and i suspect that that is also partly true here. the challenge has been in figuring it out exactly. and the one thing i WILL fault scopely on is the samet hing i've said for motnhs... the LACK OF COMMUNICATION lol
red gulch
@abstract gate they can make any rules they want, their game. Law doesnโt apply here cuz it hasnโt caught up with mobile gaming apps. Walmart try this theyโd be sued.
jagged inlet
nova valley
i'll keep trying to figure it out. lol in the meantime, ya'll enjoy your weekend.
and hey! if you're looking for something to do while not in game @abstract gate or @red gulch feel free to catch up on episodes of the show, and we'll talk more in GREAT detail about this during tomorrow's taping.... plus give away some cool prizes
abstract gate
@nova valley I will as soon as I have an event to do
nova valley
enjoy the downtime and listen to my show ๐คฃ
jagged inlet
@nova valley need to catch up, every looking for the opinion of a player since Nov18, on a dying server who has spent a little on the game. Let me know (also my screen name kicks arse)

small lichen
@panic hmm new event? Clear it is for very high level players... however I could have competed in this event if the 40 hostile systems were still in warp range. 39 systems spawn 40s yes they do... but only a few, I have just farmed the 1st level of new event.. suggestion if I may, change the 2 point reward to 5 points as a minimum. I can farm 40s no problem, reward for effort, just not worth it.. the developers have blocked higher level systems, which nobody really wanted. It was forced upon us!! So give us a chance to earn the reward please. I have just completed the 1st level, sorry no more for me, disappointing.. โนโนโนโน
knotty birch
@small lichen - exactly the same thought and position. Not doing any more as 40+ are not available to me at any decent spawn rate. Iโm lvl34, can hit 41โs in Groombridge but no system below dark space spawns 40โs quick enough to make it doable.
