@teal jackal
🤣
Yeah looks like Star wants some 🔨
Could be armadas... armada packs are in the store
@granite zenith please nooooo unless they fixed spawn rates
Most likely swarms
I doubt its another faction hunt
Since Swarm Sunday was skipped
It isnt swarms
I would love domination. Takes 3 min to finish
We usually get swarms during weekends
Domination during weekend as well unless they make an exception
I find domination is usually early week
Domination has been Wednesday/Thursday recently.
I hope it is AoW or Fractured empire or Fac hunt
Hopefully not mining
👍
I doubt fractured empire. There is often a separate event store for that one
If it is mining,I am going to kill every miner in the server 😈
🤣
#miningsucks
You get booted for that? In your alli?
I am the admiral 🤣
Boot yourself then 🤣🤣🤣
I did 2 days ago and went solo for a while 😂
They let you back in? Must be as crazy as my alliance 🤣🤣
Of course they did.I am admiral since last May.They love me
Love to hate? 😂
I actually wouldn't mind domination today. Would give me time to grind out the last 500k Klingon rep
And you keep promising them Enterprises?
Yep,Ent As!
🤣👍
BanCat
Yeah, domination please so I can spend less time pew pewing red triangles and actually do the missions 🤣
Or how about...and stick with me here because this is gonna blow your mind...something new and interesting...
👀
Too far outside of scopely's comfy little box @shrewd totem?
Nah just curious to hear it
Me too...getting bored of the same events over and over. The 24day event is not really an event just a fancy additional reward for doing the same unimaginative events we would be doing anyway
The nano probe events are just busy work for the wallets to distract them from their buyers remorse
@abstract gate but the something new and interesting was the probe hunt, surely? 🤣🤣
I thought you were gonna suggest new events
Not my job
There is so much they could do. Boss armadas. Capture the system, hell they could do point to point races if they wanted 🤣
Yeah hunt borg for probes until your ship explodes/fills up...wow like the guys who bought it weren't gonna be doing that anyway...also as stated that's a pay only event so doesn't count for 95% of us
There is more than just mining, killing stuff, level stuff.
@abstract gate I know I was being sarcastic
Yup, I'm using it to grind rep 🤣
Respected with all 3 and zero point going higher at ops37 so I literally have f all to do since 20mins after last night's reset
Don't get me wrong the events have been good as far as rewards are concerned but there's just no variety or innovation...it's just shoot reds/shoot specific reds/upgrade stuff/mine stuff
They probably have a few new ideas for events they just haven't figured out how to monetise them yet
Is probe refining linked to ops lvl btw? As in if your ops lvl is higher it requires a larger input per refine?
@abstract gate hi there, I’m curious to know why you decided to go for triple faction lock. Contemplating it myself
Probe refining thus far appears linked to the VD's tier.
It's a lot easier to get all your daily milestones with dual or trip faction at higher lvl's (260pts at lvl36). Plus faction credits roll in for all 3 making officer promotions easier...miners, warships...many reasons tbh
Also the game is boring so I set myself goals
Lol, people seem to forget that this is a mobile game.... Hence it’s kinda limited on “new” stuffs, plus, with like every mobile game, it’s mostly just grind grind & grind...
But I doubt it’s maintainable in the future right? Doing missions for all three factions pretty much cancels out progress with regards to faction points
Yeah once you lock em at respected you'll need to pick a favourite to progress
The faction lock at 10M pts makes it possible.
But dont progress too much
Lock in first @abstract gate , then start doing them missions 😉
Idd
Rn at 37 having them cancel each other out is a good thing
Sounds fair. And no incoming Hostiles is quite nice as well
With a maxed sally and one of each faction miner at t5 respected lvl dailys are easy enough
@abstract gate yeah mining wherever the hell you want is nice too
I’m still ops 31 so have a while to get there 😬
You can lock them at any ops lvl you want...I don't recommend doing it until you have the ships to handle the dailys though
Very true that. Need two/three runs currently for 25xlvl 39s
At 31 there's little to no reason to go above consort tbh, get a second faction by all means but I'd wait with pushing respected until around the mid 30's
I need 38k more Klingon credits for a Brel ... and respected will give higher credit payout
(Am fed and Klingon by the way, both at 7.5M)
Is the meagre extra credits worth the time and rss it'll take to get them though? Your game your choice but I'd stick at 7.5mil for now
Hm not an unfair assessment I guess
Respected lvl rep event is 70mil pts for 200 credits...not worth it at 31 imo
Max franklin is in sight though so will need a new goal
2 days of faction hunts will net you more than a week of respected lvl dailys
That’s true
Maxing it will give me a new goal though, plus the extra goal of locking rom too
It's good to have goals just don't reach too far too soon
Any alternative you may have is very welcome!
Do you have pike and moreau unlocked yet?
Pike moroue and chen/t'lann will make the grind a lot easier they are far superior to the standard uhura loadout
Also what tier is your main grinding ship?
Getting those officers and your main warship up to speed should be a primary goal with rep lock secondary imo
I have a t7 bortas
No pike yet sadly. But nothing I can do about that just now
Saladin is t5 but kvort has priority now
Aim for events that give recruit tokens/officer shards...once you start getting transporter patterns save those to unlock pike asap
If you have a lot of lat you can buy standard recruit tokens to attempt to max out your blue mining officer shards then they will give tp's when pulled
Hm I do most daily events to completion indeed
But sadly no haha. Only recently got dvor f2p
Pike is already halfway though! 😂
what lvl do these transporter patterns unlock?
You get them for “receiving” a blue or purple officer shard that you already have the max amount of
So not lvl related
roger that, heh, ive only got a couple officers maxed so far, wont be holdin my breath
duly noted, preciate you taking the time to answer
Sure thing. And in that regard a big thank you to @abstract gate as well!
Oh come on, another mining event! More boredom!
Ugh. Please have more variety in events.
Never gonna happen .... nobody cares us
mega miner🤢
Rewards are beyond garbage 🤣
The mining event is going on for 2 more days 😭 this is why people leave the game. It’s boring and repetitive.
Just gives us one week Swarms, everyone will be happy
thanks for another "lat" mining event with less rewards. exactly what we need after a day of mining 👍
Alright! 2 more days of barely actually playing the game and fighting to get mining dailies cuz no one ever moves. STOP WITH THE MINING LEADERBOARDS!
Mining event 💩
I'll probably just do 2 milestones to get the next milestone in borg invasion, then call it a day
Vi'dar can always wait a extra day or 2
Quiz is a bust too
I just don't understand how they think two mining events one after the other is a good idea! They obviously don't play their own game!
@pliant skiff they don’t. It’s pretty obvious.
At least if there's this much mining to be done give us a bonus refinery so we can use what we're mining!
So another 2 days of only 9K borg points... hmm...
Morning all
Where is a bonus refinery?
It's when a special refinery is on that only gives uncommon and rare
@delicate moth yes. I think Gauzer was trying to ask if there is a special refinery.
👍
Also, why is the alliance event only reward the top 10 🙄
Faction event would have been better than mining event. Unless scopely is going to give us bonus refinery. @twilit imp
@tawny coyote since it would make things more tolerable, the bonus refinery may not happen.
@radiant galleon What do you mean?
@tawny coyote that was kind of a joke & jab. Nvm.
Sorry. Did not get it. 
Yeah lol, the bonus refinery will return
There will be many types of events during this Borg arc.
I hope so! 3 days of mining a/ an alliance event. 2 days with only the top 10 alliance getting rewards. Hard to compete with the level 30+ alliances. Yeah, it would be nice to have a bonus refinery or something.
So don't like mining just deal with it for a couple days until the next one.
Mega miner with no event refinery... Yay...
https://media.tenor.com/images/3010e6b1b36415a55b160ba4c1b68d15/tenor.gif
On here modding and no miners set...
Why is the NStar showing up on sale for higher lvls still? That’s an obsolete Miner to the higher lvls if we have a faction Miner or horizon?
There will be many types of events, mining, mining something else, mining yet another thing, killing 35 hostiles, more mining.
@molten charm I’m at level 20 and I’d love to have that show up in my store.
@carmine lily yep! It’s the same events, some with different requirements and rewards.
NS is great if you are at 20, but not above 26.
Ns is good at all levels if you know how to use it
I only use it to swap out miners
It’s been maxed since forever. I hardly use it
Cargo protection is crap
I not used my NS since i got my faction miners, but i should
Same
@abstract gate hi mate
Our server has too many Miner killers
Properly crewed a ns can hit over 20k/hr
Yep
My t5 kvort only does 17.5k and cost way more to upgrade
Useless if you have to constantly watch it so to not go over cargo protection
Like I said, too many Miner killers in server 17
@molten charm yep. My 30k envoys keep getting hit by 250K+ NS. Even my Kehra can’t hit a NS that’s hit max level. My server is the same way.
Max T Pring on NS is good
Plenty on mine too but when your ns fills up in 35-40mins it's rarely a problem...just don't go back to the same node lol
Guerrilla mining is the ns's forte
It’s good until a certain lvl. My horizon gets more use especially when I can scoop 900k a shot when raiding a base.
If you're raiding with a ns you have fundamentally failed to understand the mechanics of pvp tbh...it's just a g3 miner nothing more nothing less
LoL when NS first came out, it was a Tank at busting bases between lvl 15-20
Yeah it was a game changer for a while but not anymore, now it's a g3 miner/swap ship
For lower lvl players it's a semi decent transition ship for grinding reds but even that's quite limited with the recent ship balance
I do see a lot of NS that are opc, but they have 300K+ power, so no one touches them. But I do understand the balance.
Mine is maxed around 450K
Not in our server, mine is 440k that’s barely opc and still got hit. That’s why I don’t use it unless changing out miners.
Mine is maxed around that, too, and I only really use it when my alliance is at war with another. It's great for knocking the opponent off of nodes, mining full speed with T'Pring giving it 4k protected cargo, and running home. Rinse and repeat, and your dailies are done in no time.
It has it's niche
Yep.
But when most big alliances have 1M+ ships, that's nothing. My warships can easily destroy Northstars. It's just that travel times mean that you get at least 10 minutes on a node before somebody shows up to kill it and you run away, so you get away with about 2k raw materials that time around.
Just choose a different system after that and repeat the process.
Indeed, most people that trash talk the ns just don't know how to use it to their advantage
Yep...
So... where's our event refinery? Has there been enough of an uproar for them to bring it about?
Not yet #bringbackbonusrefine
#EventRefinery
Remember when Scopely said it the Borg Tab wouldnt effect event refineries the day it showed up, and we were all worried. Huh.
Scopely says a lot of stuff, like swarm Sundays will be a permanent feature...except when their not
That's the 2nd time it's been canceled. At least last time, they announced that it would be canceled, even though it was just a footnote at the bottom of an event description... This time, not even a footnote.
@molten charm I still use my NS at level 32, its cheaper to repair than a faction miner so good for when your at war with another alliance.
Faction miners are also expensive to tier the NS is like a 2* ship in terms of cost
Its also fast at warp with helvia
@frozen abyss not cancelled, rescheduled
@floral trail cost is a big difference but it’s never convinced me to use NS instead of my horizon when it’s the same power but has bigger cargo and protection. Mining speed isn’t much of factor me, but the amount it can hold in its cargo is more important to me.
Sooooo.... got the tier 6 Borg mission keys... but no where to start that mission...
Do I need the Vi'Dar first to start that event?
@gusty rose Does that mean it will start on Thursday and run for 2 days?
@frozen abyss i am not sure when
I loved getting swarm in the events last month, but they never interfered with the actual Swarm Sunday events. We got 3 days in a row of it at the end of the arc.
@iron roost if i recall you don't need the ship to start the missions because you get the ship in the last for rewards for doing the missions
From what I'm seeing so far, apparently you do
Missions should show in your gifts if i recall. Or, event store
@quartz crypt
In game faq
@iron roost i believe this is the correct video
Patch 16 brought us far more than they originally let on! (All they said was a maintenance peace shield!) So, now we've got borg probes, new system, a new ship and a lot to go over! We'll make a full video just for the Vi'dar here soon.
Topics covered:
- What the patch cont...
I gotta get more mission keys to unlock Ripples
Well, the mission key doesn't actually give missions lol
Hi, I got the 80 mission keys but how do I use them please?
Oops, missed that, thanks
Thanks -- can't complete the second mission chain either. You need to enter Borg Space, which de facto needs the Trans Warp Cells which need the Vi'Dar
Ah. I paid so didn't know the path
All this mining and no one has asked about bonus refinery ! @twilit imp please explain why it has been removed form refinery events !
@swift lotus the 80 mission keys I gotta have “Unlocks” the mission “Ripples...” not give is what I meant. My Vi’Dar is already T2.
@verbal field Bonus refinery will still happen
Someone asked it and answered in #🔒qna-borg-a1
Ty @shrewd totem
Hmmmm
He means it will still happen in the game
Not necessarily that it will show up after Mega Miner

@solid badger visual bug,means nothing for now
k
Uh so I need to collect nanoprobes for this free event but I can't get to Borg systems without paying for the 2nd arc mission Is there somewhere else I can get them? Supposed to be freed seems like I need to buy ship or points or.. something
Since when did Mega Miner include latinum and the ridiculous advantage of the dvor over all other players with regular mining ships? We just had latinum rush. This one should not have latinum with increased points.
Guys does anyone know if there is or when a "Race to Armardas" event coming up?
coming soon
@abstract gate right around the same time someone@decided itd be ok for a lvl35 to be able to hit a lvl 24
Soo quickquestion... For all us F2pers who can't get a node today for borg event.... Are we screwed???
Just wondering who thought this was better than swarm Sunday🤦🏻
Not me. I don't like mining. But I can't really answer your question. Points per day are variable, so hopefully later events will offer more points and help cover this.
And I still want my swarm trit. 😭
I'm gonna be more than annoyed if this costs me event... I want to buy premium borg pack, but my Daddy learned me... Never reward bad behaviour...
quit sayin f2p like its a handicap you were born with and using it as an excuse for not applying yourself. im mostly free to play, and i never have trouble findin a node, sometimes i just have to look for more than thirteen seconds in one system. once in a while i gotta put scotty as captain and expand my search. same thing happened during the data event, aug space was lile chicago ohare between christmas and new years, but if you apply more than 0.36 iottas of effort, youll be able to complete the event.
and for the record, i agree with jess, mining events are the worst.
It is a handicap..
You arent in a server where people blow up every mining ship they find
That arent affected because they have their miners in deep space
Working as intended
nah, you just prefer to make excuses instead of solutions. sure ive peeled off a couple of dubs for cool stuff but would not be considered a spender and i do just fine against the pay to win types. your victim mentality is your handicap. my server has a couple dozen knuckleheads that get their jollies wreckin survey ships, every server does. its frustrating . for the most part im no longer affected by those sweeps because ive taken appropriate measures. if youre having such a terrible time in your server, maybe you should request to have your game deleted so you can start fresh in a different server, because i guarantee that no amount of complaining and excuse making is going to solve the problems youre having in your current server.
holy christ ur dense
Theres literally servers with entire alliances that do it
Just because you have a slightly decent server doesnt mean you know everything that happens in the game others have it way worse but clearly you don't actually know how the game is and believe your always right. Lmao
And im not even in one of those servers ive luckily been in a decently average server but have seen how other servers have it.
Must be wonderful to be him🖖😇🤣😂🤣🍻😍
Keep it polite, please. No insulting each other or name calling.
PS I still don't like mining events. 😏
Lol if u aint on a server where your $100 epic armada gets wrecked by others just cuz.... then u just mining for glory
Anybody know what tomorrow’s event is?
@raven gulch - if you mean Borg event, the alliance leaderboard for mega miner shows another 1.5 days. So I assume more mining.
If you mean non-Borg, I have no guesses.
Thanks @keen ledge
I am sure this has been asked before, but I cannot find it in the thread... Is there a list of Borg Missions for "The Second Act" if so were can I find them?
@rapid axle Also at the wiki, check the "All Missions" first link, then the Borg tab for list view, includes rewards.. https://star-trek-fleet-command.fandom.com/wiki/Missions
@proud solar I agree, mining events are frustrating for the many. Particularly in trying to find a node. I have a D'vor via FTP but the majority of free nodes are in space it can't reach until warp 35+ so that leaves me bumping someones envoy off a lat node. Best way to score points without a D'vor is to mine Tri with your envoys and G3 with a horizon.. Do not try mining lat with an envoy as its far more efficient mining Tri for points per hour. If you need lat, just steel it from a OPC D'vor
@proud solar I have managed to do a mega miner event doing just 2* nodes before you need to use all 4 ships on high level ones so do run the risk of getting blown up for overflow but its doable as lots of empty 2* systems
Appreciate your advice & happy to have options, fanx guys, been mining trit & para & fingers crossed. I might get all but the big reward🖖😎
Yes, mining events are ridiculous. Takes about 6 hours while on 3 G3 nodes
If its any consolation the Vidar should still be possible doing the other events as I managed to get the last arc complete ~5 days before it ended. Assuming they stick to the same points schedule. .
@floral trail yep, sure is ... F2P just need to grind the events for it
Depends on the mining rate, and your ops level @late plover.. I have to get 1.6m points at my level but thankfully I have a D'vor so can finish in much less time than this. I wouldn't try mining 3 G3 nodes at once as I wouldn't be that efficient and tend to mine just one or two at a time and leave my envoys on Tri
Its also less babysitting of miners as I would be sure to be bumped off a g3 node at some point,
But I agree, the last arc with no mining was much less of a stress headache.
My server has roe, so that last point isn’t an issue. Combined mining rate of my 3 miners is around 24k/hr (Antares, horizon and envoy). I’m lvl 30, so target is 1.51M points
And from what i can see my envoy is actually quicker on mats. It mines at around 3500/hr and on trit is only about 10k with k’bisch
But I can definitely see why mats would be appealing without server roe
My Kvort does about 14k per hour, horizon 12k and NS 20k per hour if I use it. RoE is not something I agree with too many problems trying to find a zero or opc node especially for a mining game during an event that encourages miner hits.
If I hit someone for a node and they take it back then I leave them too it... fights are usually contained on the node in question.
What level are you, out of curiosity?
level 32.
Nice
I do get alot of fan mail 🤣
Nice, I only have one faction miner atm, but the NS is a good substitute when I am online.
not even the biggest alliance on our server can get away with an RoE violation
they don't want to risk having their 50 million repair ships getting blown up
I know but for a mining game not everyone has time to spend looking for a node to mine.
And I guess those with 50million repair ships can mine g4 quite happily as no one can reach them
most times it takes 20 mins
at worst an hour
but you can keep it indefinitely if you want
just have to maintain the node
yeah, dont get me wrong I prefer to hit zero miners but sometimes especially during lat events when envoys are blocking lat nodes whats a guy supposed to do 🤷♂️
If you have a dvor, mining alt is far more useful than G3
Because your event will be done very quickly
not really its still a waste of a dock
and my survey miner does more points per hour
then a dvor
if really wanted to get into it mining at 25k/hr with NS
Lat is useful, especially as a FTP when my Kvort needs 6000 commons..
only 10 to 15 days of refining dual batches
Depends on your other ships, if you have a good dvor and a decent node you can easily match a t4 faction miner points wise. Ns always helps a lot in these events but you have to watch it and burst mine.
also you can refine 150 lat a day with only 20 mins worth of OPC hunting
On your server maybe. People are too careful on mine 🤣
my play times make it easy
I get 40k opc hits from lvl 34 systems when I get to work
Yeah if ppl sleep while you are awake it's easier
Its hard to find OPC Dvors on my server, and then its only 4k or so which doesn't really help much. Usually about 6am is the time to D'vor hunt as people leave them overnight.
Me included.. I don't mind though. Spreading the wealth, I still have 30k protected so loosing 10k I can live with.
when I send my ships out to hunt Klingons I check a few systems along their path
with stop warp makes it easy if you find a good target
takes 6 mins to get to lvl 36 systems so something to pass time
Good morning to all. Any idea what will be the next event we will do after the mega mining event?
more mega mining
So... Let's just say it's just not possible... Because everybody desperate to complete borg points... To even come close... Tomorrow too, same reason, & let that genius rot in hell who thought that torture up, ae we doomed t same fate as those who missed the franklin??? The Botany Bay??? Forever waiting for event to never repeat??? & before you tell me to buy it, I'd buy prime officers 1st,but I prefer to eat&pay rent, so no poverty shaming please
You don't have to buy the ship. Alliance leaderboard events aren't necessary to complete the borg event so if your alliance does well enough in those missing a day or two of the daily events won't matter.
only going to need handful of that
and if you are having problems doing a mega miner event 🤣
you can mine par if you have to
Have been & ain't even close... & getting kicked off those too, it's making peeps nutz... & you never now with srewgeplay, stooging th players again & 0 info from them jst makes it worse
I've had no problems mining
Wonderful for you
I just mined latinum for yesterdays event, still finished it without any issues.
well scorewise my hrz earns around the same amount of points per hour. I just find it's easier to manage because I usually have to work during prime time and people get really eager when you hit zero.
Fanx guys, was hoping somebody had an idea I hadn't yet... Or could actually answer my question, but as $copely information dept provides 0 intel... Guess we all be guessing... Scrooge stooged again
@proud solar You mean the total lack of information about event? Because that has been one of the biggest issues I mention every chance I get.
. Exactly, information is power, & they keep. Us powerless
Don't mak plans, don't dare stratagise & thinking is bad, make poor decisions, seems to be their "roadmap" for us
Yup, less han zero chance to clear tomorrow's goas
We talking in general. Information is lacking. Event when it come to the Borg event. I found several items that where not explained. One of the missions need Borg resources, how are you supposed to get those if you did not purchase the ship? But it was told that we all can get the ship for free. So the mission should have been set so when everyone get the ship.
You finish the missions after you build the ship. Building the ship provides no benefit to completing the borg event.
well there is an event to kill borg probes and get charged nanoprobes as a reward but it doesn't give you points for the borg invasion event.
What’s today’s events
Mining
The Borg is going to scan our systems and decide we are not worthy to be assimilated because all we do is mine.
@bronze dagger the alliance leaderboard is 2 days so bet we have 2 days of solo too
great plan
Can we maybe not have 3 effing days of mining in a row?? Us non-spenders would like to be able to mine the stuff we need, which can’t be done when the whales sit on every node...
#whereisthebonusrefine
@tawdry kindle after arc 3 apparently
@abstract gate if only
can we get 4 days of data mining after this as well, I need to catch back up on my indy creds
Bite your tongue...
How about faction hunt. Lord knows I need fed credits for officer promotions...
More mining....💩
Are you serious 💩
And just like yesterday... smaller borg point rewards than the other events...
Another probe hunt! Stop with the pay to play 💩💩
Oh geez. Why are the borg points decreasing each day 🙄
That’s it... I may not spend much, but until they do something to put at least some semblance of balance in the ftp side, they’re not getting another effing nickel from me...
Great job who ever had the idea of 3 days off bloody mining! 😡😡
@hardy parcel everyone agrees 😂 there’s a clear lack of communication b/t players and $copely.
Amen 🙏 @radiant galleon
Lack? That’s an optimistic way to see it
They utterly and contemptuously ignore us...
And where is solo probe hunt ??
No point for it. Anyone who was gonna spend money on the vibrator already did
Now it’s just a constant reward for the alliances with the most players who did
And the handful lucky enough to pull a 1of10 shard to qualify for the alliance leaderboard rewards
Never once got one from that special recruit tab.
Hell, a guy on my server bought enough packs to pull 30 of those chests... didn’t get one.
Got a full pull of 4k ultra last probe alb...got 3 shards this time of 2.4k ultra pull
Borg points are prob dropping as nobody has purchased the pack as no need, prob doing it to push purchase of said pack to speed up gain of rewards
Here's where my contribution puts us so far...
@abstract gate well this guy ain’t gonna. I’m done spending.
I’m not giving money until I see that scopely is actually making improvements to the game (fixing bugs, etc).
@abstract gate we all said that then brought the ship cus it was “new content” completely ignoring the glaring issues in game
Speak for yourself.
I won’t buy what I can grind, especially limited use stuff like that
Not spending another penny full stop. They had their pound of flesh from me 🤣
The only reason i havent deleted this game is due to the amount iv spent. However if they dont stop it crashing i might rethink that
I grounded out the frank... and have barely used it since. Vak is far better at killing swarms, because it takes a half million years to tier it up to a useful level
The vibrator is no different
Its not that bad 👀😬😂😭
@abstract gate lol no. Really no. Vahklas won't be anywhere near as good and as long as you do the dailies y soon get it useful
@abstract gate how many faction creeds can you refine?
Do the dailies every day. Still only T2. Barely kills 10 lvl 20s. My vak can kill 35 lvl 26s per run
I did the dailies every day and then some. T8 and kills 40 level 32s
And I have a job and a life... can’t sit there for hours on end gathering hundreds of thousands of those stupid modulators
Only issue is till you max the ship you wont get tokens, ship takes too much of the green stuff for upgrades
@abstract gate not bad at all. An extra 75 creds.
Well that's assuming you tier it up. Nothing stopping you sitting at t3...
True but it takes 2 runs at lvl25 hostiles to get 13k to refine into the green stuff. Only get 2 warp cells a day. Bit slow for me
Borg missions were nice... but for the moment the rest are stuck behind a pay wall.
After lvl32 in general i struggle seeing the point, ships and station need money at that point unless you plan on grinding for years, espc the jelly fish
Anything past the first round of faction ships are 100% mass spenders only
Guys on my server who have any of them are the ones who spend thousands per month
Brel is my limit, not spending on the enterprise or above levels
They’re the ones we need to get to pocket their credit cards for a while... THAT would get $copley’s attention...
Not true at all. We have people who didn't spend much with blue faction ships. It just takes 3 months of dailies or less
The whales don't have anything that f2p can't grind out. The economy adjusts all the time
I have a Kvort and a NS do they count? going to be a long slog to get a B'Rel but I have 51 prints so far... Even then though, its not worth upgrading them too highly as the 3* uncommons are too expensive.
tier 1 ViDar its 80 charged nanoprobes for 50 credits, tier 3 its 400 for 75 😭
can't imagine those who went full on it
having to kill 1000's of probes to do 1 refine 🤣 and not have enough to do anything with it
Theres a huge gap from blue ships > g4 ships
Since you cant farm epic ships unless you wait months for the credits lol
Too bad the Vi’Dar doesn’t count as a Rom ship to get bonus against Feds. I was bummed to find it out cause someone already has one at 800k power.
My server has a ton of Fed ships especially the damm Sally.😄
Yeah. Either save for 8 months or hope you get the jelly.
@hardy parcel whales have all officers max or almost max...f2p can't have this no matter of grind
This mining event took me almost ten hours to complete yesterday and that was using the good miners. Now they're doing the same event all over again. Some people don't have 10 hours every day to spend just trying to complete one event Come on Scopely. Seriously?!?!?!?!?!
@halcyon patio just a question of time.
The solo doesn't give any uncommons also. They nerfed the refinery and they said that events will bring uncommons/rare.
But when you mine several hours to refine 75k (4 batches) and you get 275 common, is not ok.
At lvl 38.
Is a mockery.
i see allota players above lvl30 constantly complaining about costs of uncommons and such, numerous people have said anything past 32 is pointless unless you plan on spending weekly, from the sound of things i think ill stick with my original plan of hitting 28 and camping there until ive stockpile several dozen thousand of each uncommon, comparable numbers for the rares
Uncommons will be a pain regardless I suggest you to just remain at whichever level you are comfortable finishing all dailies and events without struggle.
I am 30 and have enough to push to 33 easily, but I won't until my franklin and faction ships will be strong enough to match the increase.
Good plan @eager lava . I stock piled all uc mats to 3k minimum before I jumped to 28 then uc mats to 5k when I got to 30.
@eager lava that’s a bad plan , the more you upgrade your ops the more you get from daylies and events, just be sure to have a strong ship enough to do your daylies
@devout talon I am doing the same to get my faction ships high enough to match 32 before moving up.
Same question as yesterday... Except, no More Guesses Does anybody KNOW!!! If missing out on borg points Today & Yesterday screw us in getting new ship??? Somebody who actually kNOWS ... Not guessing... Cause it just ain't happening... 👀 👀 👀
As we don’t get told the event structures and rarely ever know what the upcoming schedule is - nobody can confirm that. I can ask but unlikely to get a response...
Really miss the calendar of events used to get logging on to game.
@proud solar check your DM
Thankyou🙏🏻😇... Zero intel & lack of communication is even worse than the bugs they won't fix 🙏🏻😇🍻
@calm stream thats why my plan is a good one. ill get to lvl 28 when im ready to get there, and camp while i stockpile the uncommons and rares ill be ready to ha e strong ships when i jump into my 30's, instead of being stuck on an upgrade that costs 1000 uncommon. if being plannin ahead to be prepared for the future is a bad plan, then yeah my plan is the baddest.
idiot
idiot
Ah what?👀
Should always base ur ops level on how hard events are if easy move up if hard stay
If you have the ships strong enough to do your daylies you upgrade your ops , simple as that
which is exactly why you dont upgrade your ops before you can bulk up your ships.
also, heres more to the game than about 15 minutes worth of dailies
Yup, no point sitting at any level for too long tbh. All event rewards etc are based on ops level so sitting at 28 until you have several dozen thousand uncommon will take a lot longer to get the same number of uncommon as progressing naturally.
Saying that, we are all free to play as we wish. So whatever works for you 😊👍
Dear Scopely,
Three days of Mega-miner in a row are too much.
In fact, many of your events go on too long.
Thank you for reading
M
this is 3rd day for me
same difference
yes
Lat rush is easier to finish and much better rewards
And it is weekly event
So that doesnt count
okay, fair enough.... but three dys of mining in a row
🤷♂️
As long as rewards are okay,I dont care that much
But mega miner rewards arent okay so yeah it sucks
imho ... mining is a necessary evil, not an event
- rewards should be better for the mega miner event
- The borg point shouln't be awarded with minimg events. even if they want to run mining events, it should be an optional thing not a necessary event for the borg arc.
- 3 days of so much mining? please no
our ships should have transporters, so that if i want to retrieve or assign an officer to a ship, i dont have to return to my station to do so like some 20th century neanderthal
@hardy parcel my trophy wall is covered with ships of 3-5 ops levels higher that mine because they made the poor decision to rush up the levels, and those same people are the ones you always hear whining about the high repair costs, and the lack of uncommons... so yeah, feel free to make bad decisions
while we're at it....
How about a bunch of mini-missions? Deliver this to there, explore that, explode something else... stuff like that... Idea is to make me feel like an independent merchant/smuggler/pirate
Example:
-Smuggle 5000 bales of hay from Firexii to Kaikara Prime, payment 1 unc crystal
-Get hired by a Rom to kill his rival in a different system, payment 500 raw ore
-Sell 10 envoy BP to a young NPC wannabe miner for 5000 dil
Like I said, nothing huge, just something to do other than sit on nodes and kill endless swarms
@twilit imp We are in our third day of mining event and where is the bonus refinery?
Lat monday doesnt count 🙂
@nova sierra that sounds allot what they advertised the game would be, you e got my vote
Still where is the bonus refinery?
@tawny coyote I dont remember an official statement that we are going to get bonus with every miner event so 🤷♂️
@shrewd totem I’m just asking. I did not said they offer it. Just saying with all this mining. We should get something for our effort.
Well clearly they think it isnt needed,otherwise would get it during 1st day of Mega miner
ive got missions in the archives that i picked up when i was 15-17 that want me to either wreck a 1.6mil ship, or travel to a warp 52 system... anyone who says that thats just scopelys way on incentivizing people to level up are the same ones who were dumb enough to rush ops
People can play however they want so dont call them dumb/idiot etc because of their decisions 🙂
heh, by that rationale, clearly they dont think broken nodes need fixing, elsewise they woulda done it by now
people are free to make poor decisions, i am free to accurately describe their actions
you cant sit there and tell me that honesty is prohibited.
I think 🤔 his point is that the game need to be balance and mission need to be match to players lvl. I have several missing that I have to fight 2 plus million ships. I’m not even close.
I also think mission should not be asking players to give tons of resources. I have a mission that ask me for 5 million in tritanium.
see @tawny coyote gets it. every person in the game has a couple of missions in the archive that were picked up 15-25 levels too soon, and there have not been many missions i the interim
That is so true.
heh, no doubt, ive got one askin me for 1.5 mil g3 ore, couple guys in my alliance have missions askin em for 50 mil tri, 100mil dil, earlier today one of the guys ponied over 1billion parsteel...
That is totally ridiculous. Plus the reward are so poor compared to what you give.
The only money that I spend in the game is the monthly package. But I been thinking I not going to spend money on those either. I get a tone of grade 2 resources. Why they offer that? When they know we don’t need those resources pass lvl 20.
the worst are the questionmark rewards... i mean, sure, the reward for this mission is a mystery, cool, i like surprises, but when i complete the mission and collect the reward, show me the gd rewards! so far not once has the questionmark rewards been anything noticeable in my items
So true. 😂
There should be a way we can trade grade 2 resources for grade 3. Maybe 2-1 ratio.
thats the entire reason ive never bought a monthly pack, half of its g2, and the marketplace is just a tease that theyre never gonna open, and even if it does open "at lvl 50" you can only trade with other 50's, and the point of the eff am i gonna do with g2 stuffs after lvl20 will still stand
The package should give rare and uncommon plus maybe crew and ships X.
no doubt
The problem we have whale 🐳 willing to pay for that package so scopely has no incentive to change.
its redonculous that they wont let us refine g2 into g3, heck i e got thousands of g1 ship parts, but you cant scrap ship parts until what, 28-34? somewhere on there
You can’t scrap ship parts at all
really?
Nope.
ive heard high level players saying they can
No. They can refine broken 4* ship parts.
I purchase think it was going to change as I move up in lvl but that we dum on my part.
i know i cant at lvl 24, but i mentioned the busted ship parts button in the refinery and about a dozen people were quick to correct me, its an ops level thing
broken 4* ship parts? so... they can
They can’t scrap. You refine them into a fixed ship part
you cant tell me to not tell the truth
If you are going to talk in here you are going to follow #509679626763632642
Oh snap
I've been mining steadily for over 8 hours, and I'm not halfway to the final mining reward tier.
Somebody gonna get the 👢
I hate that I still get envoy or other class two ship part and I’m killing lvl39 Klingon ship. What is up with that?
ive told you to quit giving the poor advice of encouraging people to rush ops, and yet you give out poor advice like its goin outta style
I give advice it is up to you to listen
Well this isn’t going to end well
It can be poor to you,but can be good for others 🤷♂️
if you are going to give advice, it has to e good advice

🍿
@shrewd totem what are we in the wrong chat?
@tawny coyote 🤔,dont think so
yeah, its good for scopely if people make poor decisions and rush up their ops levels, then have people like you encourage them to spend money to ridge the gap
Can we get them to change the monthly package?
why do you hide your face everytime you say something that you wish you wouldnt have
👀
You can ask,but I dont know if they will change it @tawny coyote
@eager lava ah what
I did mention it in the last survey.
I dont want to start my day like this.... it is 4:27 am in here
they could change the monthly package, it would be easy, adjust it to be lvl appropriate like the events, however, laziness prevails
@shrewd totem where is that?
@tawny coyote yeah,a lot of people want stuff to be changed but they have a priority list so might take a while.But they do listen and read feedback from players
Turkey,Ankara
Oh wow.
Bats doesn’t sleep. He truly is Batman
apparently user avatars take priority over user features
Yes but the store need to improve. And it something simple. I think.
Different groups work on different things.
Ppl working on bugs not same working on stuff like avatars
be cool if theyd set up a group to fix broken nodes
But ppl asked for avatars. They listened and added them
and a group to fix the stuck in battle issue
Really. They ask for avatars?
people been askin for broken nodes to be fixed allot longer than any imaginary people asked for avatars
same goes for the stuck in battle issue
I been asking to have the monthly package and other package adjusted.
It takes longer to fix nodes compared to adding avatars
I ask for having ship repair and tier up in the hanger instead of dry dock.
weve been asking for missions that are completable, and not mining or fortune donating based...
We should be able to have two ship per dock.
apparently yeah... been over a year
maybe if they didnt squander time and effort makin avatars that no one asked for, the nodes wouldve been fixed as quickly as the refinery glitch
I ask to have more grade 3 node in neutral space. I hard to get crystal when you are enemies with Klingon.
@tawny coyote there are 3* nodes in neutral space
funny how when the refinery was puttin out mayts like a busted slot machine they didnt need 3-33 days per person and screenshots of each ones account id to correct the error on their part
Yes I know but is a parking lot. Lol.
The refinery glitch was an easy fix. Others are not
Not every bug is same...
They should cut the cool down for refinery in half that would maybe help with the bottleneck.
We should be able to use the refinery at least 4 time per day.
Just for my Saladin I need 500 rare crystal.
yeah, all g3 spaces are parking lots, and its weird that there arent any 20-50k nodes until you hit the almost 30's and your warp range can get you there naturally. sure, you van put scotty as captain to reach, but then you lose your mining officer ability and your minin time is double/quadruple what it could be, making it not worth tying up a ship for almost 8hrs
all glitches are easy to fix.
Scotty as captain?
Yeah,we know you are the best you know how to fix everything 🖖
scotty as captain increases your warp range and allows you to reach systems further out
Yes we should have a mining crew per class. For example a crystal crew that improve warp range another that improve cargo protection and one that improve mining rate.
...
scotty as captain increases your warp range and allows you to reach systems further out
Do you even play the game?
I know how scotty works. Do you?🙃
🤣
the refinery glitch benefitted players and was resolved almost overnight, without needing to contact each individual player for a screenshot of their player id and wait days or weeks before the excess materials were removed from their inventory, yet adding extra nodes to systems, or replacing unnecessary parsteel node with the g3 weve been asking for is somehow beyond impossible😂😂😂
have an avatar while you wait chum
p
i was talking about reaching the higher output g3 systems, mentioning that utilizing scotty to reach them takes away the mining captains ability. if you knew how the game worked, you wouldnt have even asked the question
Yes I never saw that glitch. Wanted to see
being on a high output node is kinda worthless if your mining time is doubled/trippled, only exception would be if you set and forget your miners when you go afk for sleep or work, bit that is not a solution to the issue
much the same as accidentally discovering that moving a different ship unsticks one stuck in battle
Yes unless you have a crew that help with cargo protection.
I do have a question. If I move to lvl32. How would my daily swarm and hostile change? I know it may go up but how much up?
yeah, but scotty is the only officer that increases warp range, )which is yet another unanswered request since before the imaginary avatar request) so its only good for one ship,
i bet thebatman has a link for that
No need for lvl35s
he posted one for ship/building costs, so it stands to reason that he might have a helpful link for dailies questions
Look at pinned posts in #🌌-galaxy-chat
Scotty only has to be on the bridge, not Capt for warp range. Swarms at lvl 32 is 10x 32, 25x 32 and then 50x whatever
actually my mining rate goes from 14k an hour to 12.5k an hour with Scotty in high warp. Definitely not double or triple time.
More than worth it to sit on a nice for 6 hours
You have faction miners star
everytime ive had scotty on the bridge, not as the captain, his warp range ability has not activated. tried with all ships, so its whayevs
I’m lvl31 and have to kill 10 lvl32 swarm so if I understand I would have to do 20 at lvl32.
You still have the 10 swarm for 50 points, then a 25 swarm for 35 points, then 50 for 15
Ummmmm....yea. I don't believe you there. Scotty is probably ONLY officer who's ability has always worked properly. 🤣
@hushed agate Yes that what I have now.
Never had issue with Scotty
Scotty works perfect
Just hope it doesn’t not change to kill lvl35 swarms
It doesnt
It doesn't.
Thanks.
I’m only 29. So my swarm are easy
i dont give one pump of a hump wjat you believe. if your scotty works as not captain, then that's awesome, but mine only works when he is captain, itd be a whole lot cooler if his ability activate as a side officer on my bridge, but ive become accustomed to it
Have you submitted an in game ticket?
literally have nothing to claim that fact
#fakenews
Swarm at 32 only issue is Swarm Sunday heroic... gets 10x harder
yep. they say he is working as intended
Because he is
😂😂😂
Only issue there's ever been with Scotty is Jelly ship ability increasing his range
Well this is not going to be good.
Bye bye
And he’s gone
They owe us a Swarm event
Looking like armadas, new acc ultra pack in store 🤣
That's been in the store for 2 days... although you may be right
no chance of separatist event, since event store already occupied
😒
does military supremacy or any other event give points for building a brel
Borg probe alb giving armada directives as rewards, so thats kind of telling we are in for some more armada misery
@diabolically[ddh]#2660 you clearly only have a limited grasp of how the game economy works. Enjoy being level 28 for the next 10 years. 🤣
😂
Hey batman 🙂
👋🏻
I sincerely hope it is NOT Armadas for the next event! If it is, it would potentially make this week the worst week in the history of the game for events!
Utter boredom! 🙈
Armadas are fun when you can find them
DATA EVENT 🙏
Are you mad?
With all of those broken nodes you want Data event?
Faction hunt would be nice.
They won't do armadas for the borg point event, too risky and too much potential backlash as long as they don't raise the respawn rate
they didn't in the first phase btw
No they left armadas for the break between arcs. Hope they do the same this time tbh
Data is always a nightmare far to little nodes
Data was the same, they did an event but not for borg points. All in all I would commend them for how they handed it : except for domination if you didn't save officer xp (and officers to raise) all the events were doable for solo players (no armadas, no data mining)
Give us separatists event 🖖
Domination is ok I guess, but I am running out of officers to level up without BADGES!! Faction hunt is always handy for officer xp and faction credits; I need more B'Rel prints. Sepratists bashing I cant imagine being a thing; its also pretty expensive on ship repairs without Tritanium from the missing Swarm Sunday event.! #Bringbackswarmsunday
Yeah domination is really tough for some.
Domination is easy, build and envoy, spend some lat to level it up a bit. Then scrap it later
Assuming you have lat. Like I said for the low and mid spenders domination can be tough
It’s stupid to waste lat on leveling up a new envoy cost lots of lat for very few ship exp
I vote faction hunt. And at least a week with no mining crap...
Call to arms
God no, not call to arms.
Faction hunt is the best event, but its probably going to be domination event
Yea thurs through sat
Normally before dominion start faction hunt
4 days of data mining
I’m still recovering from the last domination event 😅
What no bonus mining event refines?
Put it this way... Scopely went out of their way to state that the Borg Refining tab taking over the event refinery tab would not impact event refineries, but then they chose to put up a mining event without sight or sound of an event refinery. I think its fair to draw conclusions.
There have been many mining events with no bonus refinery.
It is a BONUS refinery. We don't get it every event or even regularly at all.
Kinda hard to call to mind when a mining event didnt coincide with an event refinery lately, however. I am not saying Scopely did wrong or we were robbed, But I am willing to say they chose their timing poorly. Quite poorly.
I have found that Domination is really easy if you upgrade a turret. Normally a single turret upgrade will max your daily Domination event requirement.
Not that simple at level 35
Considering the uncommons needed. Also domination is over 1m points and even turrets don't give that much.
but "building" gives 20 points per power in domination.
so it would probably be enoguh, IF you had a turret to upgrade. but that's also a lot of speedsup/latinum
A lot of speed ups. The most efficient route imo is to promote an officer but you need to have the credit/badges on hand for that
It’s officers... that’s the only real way to do it in the time frame 😦
At 37 anyway
Yeah, if you have the badges/credits available. Problem is you end up promoting a bunch of useless officers.
Generally I avoid domination events but when they are for borg points that is difficult
@hardy parcel agreed. And officer xp is hard to get overtime.
Lol...only if you waste it outside of events
Faction hunt gives more than enough to clear dom events
I seen a lot of domination events. You run out of useful officers long before now.
Faction hunt gives plenty of xp. Not badges and not enough credits
It depends at what level your Officer is
Nah, I'm still working on lvl'ing my blue miners...they are all 3 max promoted and each lvl up is a dom event done...got about 15 lvl's left between them then it's on to some other crappy greys to max
Example, I maxed Stonn.. don’t need to level him for stats so I just kept him lvl 26.. event hit.. spent 1.3M for a level. Done
Same the next day
same with me. even if i DO want the stats. i always wait for dom or officer events. i've not had him this long. won't kill me to wait a few more days lol
Some people are just too impatient to see the big numbers lol...officer lb's are a waste of xp better to wait for double milestone events or/and dom and just put 1 lvl on
Takes longer but pays out more in the long run
If you're f2p it's not just a good idea it's practically mandatory
Yup. Now I wait for an event for promoting and levelling officers. I also don't bother with all the domination events, only the ones recently for borg points.
Other than that it's also good to do the double solo officer event
But yeah, sooner or later you hit the credit/badge wall
Idd, with the new faction loyalty box you get a handful but nowhere near enough to promote a full set for every ship
you all talking about domination to avoid the fact we are getting 4 days of data mining
We better not...
4hrs total mining beats 3 days non-stop
Data mining event is even more whales only than regular mining...
Nah, patience is the key
And a t9 bb ofc
Like I said... whales only
Pfft, mines t9 no $'s in
but the whales will own the last few systems
just requires patience getting a node in the lvl 30 systems
On my server, they own everything
If you couldn't be bothered to put the hours in that's on you
And they’ll sit those nodes the entire event for the ALB
And quite a few will go through every system and kill anyone not mining with a T6 or higher BB for being “too slow”
if you don't like it, you can easily take out a BB, just use Klaa and be sneaky
My grinding hours are limited. Job, real life, all that fun stuff. So they get focused on stuff that’s more than singularly useful
Ah you're on one of "those" servers lol...whelp gl with that
Normally I just toss up a shield, mine other things, and wait until it’s over. But if they do a data event for borg points... I hope there’s enough extra to still hit the last milestone or the FTPs on mine, and similar servers, are screwed.
It's Thursday and all I've done in game all week is mine lat. I'm bored, I'll talk about pretty much anything at this point 🤣
^^ that
Faction hunt. That’s my hope. Need the credits anyway
Hopefully the hooha over data mining for borg event last time has made them re-evaluate it as a viable source of borg points
Doubt it
All they’ll see it as is an incentive for people to spend. All $copely cares about.
They need to do a swarm event...they skipped that
I don't mind data mining event but tieing it to borg event is just cruel
Yeah
They’ve done enough giveaways to the whales already this arc. They don’t need more.
7 pay to play events so far 🤣
Many servers have broken nodes and the limited number of nodes makes it inaccessible to a decent percentage of the playerbase
Yup. And data ALBs are the biggest whale giveaway event, because they can dominate the higher-rate modes and guarantee only their alliances get the rewards
Yeah, like a full 1/3 of the decoded nodes on my server are futzed
Our server is ok afaik, still 3 in yarda etc...
Just one in yarda now for us. Missing a few in the next two systems as well
One in yards, 2 each in the next 3 systems.
Ouch
Gotta say I do get tempted to start blasting non bb's in aug space some days
I think vemet should be KOS
^^and that’s why I don’t mine data
I mine it when there us no event.
My BB can’t even reach decoded nodes, and my envoy rarely lasts 10 min. Even during non-event times.
Maxed the bb and have a lot of other miners that can reach. Outside of events the only people in aug space are afk farmers
And PD hunters...
And the BB is a self-walled ship... no data, no credits. No credits, no plutonium. No plutonium, no upgrades. No upgrades... no data.
And g2 survey parts are disgustingly rare to get, at least for me. I can kill survey ships by the hundreds and only get a dozen or so
Erm. You can use decoded data for credits.
Latinum is the only real answer for g2 survey parts
The BB should be exempt from bounty hunters
I save my lat for speeding up ship tiers.
Being ftp... I don’t exactly get a lot of it
Nah, the two ship trick works fine
Ugh... such a pain
Mine latinum?
Lat mining helps, but repair costs add up quick.
Not worth the payout... I can get credits or shards... can't even get both with one days worth of mining
Don't use lat for speed ups
Plus I’ve been using a lot of my lat lately for ship parts on my warships.
That's a mistake. I farm those and only use lat for commons (because you need thousands) and survey parts
Especially since I’m at least 3-4 months grind away from even a D3. Probably a year from Bortas
You can go 0-30 in a year. I think you're being too negative
Started about 2 months after release. Had to takes 4 month hiatus for work this fall. Just hit 25
Best use for lat is ship xp when there are double ship events
speedups are so common with dailies
Been using a lot of those the past couple months catching up on research trees. Especially the Galaxy tree. Wasn’t there when I left.
Yeah, with the improved economy now you can get a d3 pretty fast.
Honestly debating skipping the D3. Gonna need the crystal for my horizon first.
Stockpiling that HARD
@swift lotus nope I disagree. Ship xp you can save from drops and events. Only use lat for hard to get stuff.
Unless you're buying ofc in which case it doesn't matter
Ofc?
But I buy almost nothing. Since I got back all I’ve bought were the borg premium reward packs. I’ve maybe spent $150 total the whole game. Just don’t have the budget for it
@abstract gate you could. The kumari can last you until the bortas especially if you're f2p
Ofc - of course
I love my kumquat...
Almost 350k. Still an insect compared to my server with all the battlesquids and kelvins out there... but still a beast
I still see so many still using the kumari up to lvl 30. I question their choices to lvl too fast. If someone is going to use it that long atleast get it to tier 7.
And my vak is just over 300. More than enough to get all my swarm dailies in one run, since my frank is still gimpy
Stef, I just tiered mine to 7.
Domination...sweet
Which is why it’s stronger than most Kums I see out there even as high as 29
Seriously???
Ugh...
🙈
Can we get another yell at the developers chat? Those people SUCK
FFS domination, we've had nothing to do all fcking week! Sort it out!!! 😠😠😠
Domination... promote two officers, milestones hit, sit on thumb for 24 hours...
Digit is the Dev. They did a great job. Nopely is the puppeteers pooch screwing the crap out of the game.
yes! domination! thank you!
we've all been begging for it for so long!
nothing like a good domination event to get rid of the boredom of a mining event!
And 2 edfing days of it....
Domination>Mining
@shrewd totem domination doesn’t do much if you don’t have a lot of xp & materials to level up with.
I have 9.5m officer exp 🤷♂️
Domination🤮
Now i can get dailies and event done quickly and go back to sleep. But im sick and called out of work so..
Perhaps they don't want us doing hostiles or anything because the game is almost unplayable doing that at the moment, with the game constantly freezing, getting stuck in battle or crashing!
I may shart myself from all the excitement of completing that event...
@twilit imp Has everyone left on vacation. Another domination event. Come on. How about a battle for glory or Faction Hunt.
@abstract gate are those sharts transformed into transporter patterns too?
Faction is supposed to come before domination 🤷♂️
Was hoping for a few fed credits
faction rep event has been the most interesting thing all week for me
Me too. Need to lvl up several crew.
This just shows that they messed up with no Swarm Sunday. They say it would be part of the ARC but really they just forgot to have it. They could have done it instead of Domination again.
It will probably start Saturday
They're following the same order as the last borg arc
no if they were we would of been data mining during the week
The data mining had no borg points
Well domination done. What now?
Yooo. Mining events usually equal enhanced refinery. What gives? No enhanced refine?
@shrewd totem ok...
It’s clear they’ve given up on the game. We should “give up” by not giving scopely money.
^^ hahaha, found the sane person - someone kick him
Why does a domination event not require any sort of domination component???
It's only your wallet that gets dominated
Like having a NASCAR game where you only build a car.
Domination events are lame enough already. They should at least give us some refined mats for completing the Solo Milestones. Just about every other event does
@thin compass I noticed that too!
And where’s the Bonus Refinery?!!! 😡
@cunning arrow they got rid of it. People liked it too much. 😂
Should have a refinery domination event.
Instead of bonus refine, just permanently reduce the refinery cooldown from 10 to 4 hours.
So... 3 straight days of mining and no refinery event? Wow...
^
panic said in revs vid that there is no bonus refinery planned until after the 3rd borg event
Wow
I wonder how much rss i'll have stockpiled by then
1m trit in tokens... almost 1/3 of what I spent repairing miners just to hit the effing milestones...
Whoever decides the event schedule needs the biggest atomic wedgie in history...
@abstract gate you spent 3m repairing envoys?
Why are you mining on hostile space without protection?
I think PSU was talking about all the ROE violators.
Didn’t even worry about them. It’s totally possible to do all the milestones on trit and g2 resources. Virtually no one messes with miners on those anymore
Hence my comment about mining in hostile space without protection...g3 = hostile space.
My mega miner was 2M points. I'm probably not making that on trit mines...
You can easily do it on g2 if pushed. And if your target is 2m then you're big enough to defend your miners and know a few tricks. @crisp jasper
My trick is to not mine trit and G2 🙂
Bigger trit nodes aren't terrible - it's better than nothing if you are just trying to get some progresss in
I did most of mine on lat after one of our whales had a hissy fit and cleared everyone 👶
We have a bunch of high-power rogues who spend mine events clear-cutting the Galaxy. So I mostly mines trit. I was smart and timed a lat miner to hit prot right after it started, which is the o lot reason I got my milestones. But yeah... I lost a LOT of miners...
@abstract gate same with mine unfortunately.
I didn't lose any miners and mined all g3
golf clap
@abstract gate not sure if I should be happy or more desesperate than everyone as their own hight power baby tantrum syndrome little shit 🙈
????
Hight power players cleaning everyone 🙈
What I though in my mind was not polite enough to put there 😬
Every game has those players that get off on smashing everyone... I just wanna know where they get the tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars to piss away on something like this...
Cause even if I had that kind of money, I can think of far more entertaining uses for it
I don't get why you would spend thousands of pounds/dollars/euros just to hit miners 🤷♂️
@rough frost language! 😯
🙈😇
It s a bug in the translation from french obviously 😇
Stupid little 💩 is a term of endearment here .... Ask panic 😬
Or gala ? 🤔
👍
*pushes one button. Event done. 😄
(tier 5 rare officers take a LOT of xp)
My alliance is at war so the mining events are very interesting. 😈
yeah, we are at war with everyone if you couldn't tell from my name. Had quite a few fun fights over nodes the past few days, but had me playing much more than I would like just to get my mining dailies done.
so a couple days of Dom where all I gotta do is click a promotion and the nodes aren't all packed with people that don't normally mine is a nice break
that balance between fun and time consuming is a fine line to make, I think the mining events end up a little too much on the time consuming side, but maybe that has to do with my server being more active than others? I dunno
they need there power limited so they cant hit players so much lower than them

should only be 5 levels lower
No matter what your pvp range has it so you're swatting flies at the bottom of your range
Many low levels have no ressources so they have to raid highlevel.. 5level cap and lowlevels will stay forever low
Does anyone know if the third Borg mission is active? I’ve got the keys, the vi’dar and completed the last two missions but nothing has popped up in my mission list, and can’t find anywhere to pay to access the mission - anyone else got the same issue?? Thanks!!
@abstract gate - it should appear as a chest in your gifts section (where your 10m chest is) after you've built the ship. If not, please submit a ticket to CS.
Thanks Jess, I’ve not actually submitted a ticket before, can you let me know what I need to do?? Cheers in advance!! P.S love your gamertag - classic!!

Does anybody know if swarm Sunday will be back this week ?
Yes. Somebody knows.
@lucid plover it will
I think it will be the event of this weekend
@lucid plover Until the conclusion of "Borg Invasion" on March 13th, Swarm Sunday will be replaced by a version of the event awarding Borg Points in addition to the regular rewards. This version of the event will not follow the same weekly schedule and may result in some instances where Swarm events do not occur on a Sunday, but instead at another point throughout the week. The regular weekly schedule will return starting on Sunday, March 15th.
Thanks @teal jackal
👍
😭
@teal jackal can you put that in announcements please?
So this really is swarm 2.0
Imagine if you run out of warp cells on sunday and cant finish the event
I hear a new pack in the making
swarms are easier
you can actually refine daily with biominerals
with borg you might not make enough inert probes to do 1 refine if you tiered up too fast without having proper ops lvl tech to compensate
I have tier 3 ViDar only missing warp upgrade and I still have to kill 100 lvl 25's to make my refine
if i goto 26's I come short 2k probes
then the return on trading those charged probes is stupid
at tier 1 it was 80 charged probes for 50 credits at tier 3 its 400 charged probes for 75 credits
and at tier 1 you could make a double refine off lvl 25's with 2 cells
so keep it tier 1
use other ships
cool
so its just as bad as the dvor in that refine aspect
@hardy parcel It is in the in-game announcement.
scopely monopoly moustache guy > "what if we just fuse dvor and franklin together"
🤑
Who reads the in game announcements? 🤣🤣
@hardy parcel judging by the spam... err... posts earlier, everyone 🤣
I don’t understand who dreams this crap up sometimes... tier 2 vidar... 120 charged nano cubes for 8k faction rep. Spend warp cell, kill 50 borgs do a refine, swap for 8k faction rep. About 30/40 mins grinding with the warp times and totally destroyed ship to repair. ORRR, just kill about 10 level 35/36 survey ships in about 3 minutes and warp time probably 2/3 mins as you’ll be next to a system most likely, 15 min repair. Like seriously, who comes up with this shit?! 🤷♂️🤦♂️
@full cedar couple of things you're missing, killing hostiles means one faction rep is dropping, plus vidar is available from lvl25, I don't think any lvl25s can kill faction 35/36s
but yeah, even at ops 25 there's probably better use to those nanoprobes
When you buy faction rep from store you get minus points for other factions and most guys in our alliance are able to kill 34+ from level 26 onwards. From reading above the higher the vidar tier the worse it gets as well. Can’t see much point in it unless a good event comes out weekly.
ohh then it's silly lol
and yeah I don't have the vidar yet but I doubt I'll use it for anything more than completing the missions
Lvl26 they get first faction ship so it’s possible
well I skipped a lvl26 ship so was mostly limited to 32s and some 33s with my Kumari until lvl 28
Just seems totally bonkers to me
Was that before or after the ship update? I see sub level 28s killing all sorts with a kumari now lol
ohh yeah it was before, so I suppose it's better now
I'll take an extra 120 faction credits per day at t5 thanks 🤣👍
But no point using it for faction rep. 8k is like 5 minutes work
Try getting the vi’da past t7. It takes 75k charged for a photon cannon. Even the impulse engine is 28.4k charged. You only get 8k for 55k inactive. I hope we have a few months left to tup 🤣
Well it's a permanent addition, like the Franklin that takes forever to tier up too.
Well we have been told the credit exchange is permanent. If that's true then the ship has a purpose.
Plus there are bound to be events time to time
Sure....bound to be...
🤣
Noooo, most definitely NOT móre dailies please... As them current ones are already drag enough..,🙈
@tawdry kindle silence! Besides you do know that you don't need to do them all right?
In fact post level 30 it's impossible unless you are spending $$$
he will absolutely do them all every day 😂
he's the definition of a grinder, i'm so proud of him
I can do dailes and I am 32, but I rarely do all of them, lifes too short.
You upgrade a building and do research every day?
Nope... but I do enough to claim my daily token
well perhaps not the research and buildings, so...i'm slightly wrong 😄
i like it when i build a level 1 building, generator or something, i know it's guaranteed speedups for at least a monht
That's what I'm talking about. You don't need to do all of them. All of them is impossible without $$
Thats all I care about... I dont have enough speedups and I like to save them for tiering ships. Its a PITA to loose a dock for a week
Swarms, hostile kills, mining. The dailies that give you useful stuff. They’re worth doing. The rest are just if you can be arsed. As long as you get your loyalty token.
How does this work?
Good question...did you lvl ops?
That was officer upgrades
If you went up to an even lvl your top milestone would change and therefore possibly reset your solo
Hmm...I'm out of ideas then
Try a reload
The same event back to back guess I won’t be completing this one thanks thanks a lot
a version of the event (swarm) with a different cadence
All of these Borg events have been two days. Not sure why you think this is unusual
@teal jackal it wasn’t like that before the borg events though.
You mean we had a different event every day?
Most events we have are always run for 4 days in a row, including the Domination events
That along with daily events
Our server is new and I’m level 26 and the vi’da at t7 and my top set up gives me 456,000k just over. I can also pop Scotty in for lower stats and get 40 warp, although I need 45 warp to complete a mission taking the vi’da to Archer. This is higher than most of our l29 players ships. So I hope I can keep getting cells and inactive nanos to get to 45 warp. Then if I have chance I’ll get faction credits but I have a few k of each from missions and events.
Ok can’t do any missions can’t do the event all I can do is mine ridiculous amounts of res game is starting to get a little boring
lol. starting?
Besides mining, non-event activities would be grinding hostiles (for faction rep, bps and materials) and raiding. (for basic resources) It's a shame there's no real PVP in this game besides raiding.
selling virtual items for real $$$ has to be the best business model going. who cares if there are bugs (that have persisted since launch).
its been going on for years... ever heard of an extended warranty?? 😂
Domination Events should not be classified as “Events”. You literally upgrade a ship or officer and call it a day. Pop a shield, close the app, find something else to do. Congratulations on creating an engaging user experience. 🤦♂️
I for one enjoy hitting a single button and collecting a ton of rewards. Nice little break from the grind.
That easy when you actually have ship xp or officer xp...
And mining was a grind but worthwhile
How can you lack officer exp with all the faction hunts etc?
Not keeping a few of those XP’s in reserve? 😋😇
@crisp jasper the reason they don’t do pvp events anymore is because the game literally grinds to a halt. They tried it not long after release and the whole game was nothing but a chat server
The PVP events devolved into win trading. Partly because the events were designed poorly and partly because there's no real combat system in the game. The only exception I can think of was the realta event.
I think the realta pvp event worked because, for the most part, people were on a mostly equal footing, and your results were dictated more by your target selection and ability to adapt your officers to what other people were running.
There was that too but nobody could mine or do anything else. I don’t recall having a realty event on my server
It was several months back. You had to hit hostiles or pvp in certain systems with a realta
Hmm that may have been during my break from the game
Looks like it was back in december
Had to search back. i see a lot of whining from people too lazy to use a relocation token to participate, but really everyone had fun with it. I don't remember the rewards being particularly compelling, but it was the kind of event that was actually better for it. You could just have fun with it without stressing about missing out too much
Realta event was just before Christmas. There was a pvp part and a kill any hostiles with a realta part.
They need to use power destroyed as the metric for PVP events.
But they may not be able to because that metric is all jacked up anyways. By my best calculations, your PD from killing a ship is between 15-20% of their displayed PD
Anyone ever hear if they are going to do the 2 level up jelly race again? Been 10 weeks since last time
@teal jackal the vast majority of people's PD comes from killing miners as well, so really not in any way remotely indicative of a players pvp abilities.
Any pvp should be based on ship strength. There's no way it would work if it was anything else. The last run of pvp events where awful, we had alliances split in two just to hit each other and rack up enormous results, and others that couldn't find a single miner or unshielded base to hit. I'm glad they stopped doing them.
pvp events have been boot-and-loot since the very first one. And those that aren't about raiding usually people just make agreements to rig the winners.
The realta challenge with points per win was amazing. Anyone remember that? Officers win that one.
Hitting miners gives very little power destroyed, but is a sure sign of an aggressive player
I wonder what event delights they have today
Look at pd and how many ship he killed
If pd is low but ship number is high,then he killed lots of miners
Yup but for older players remember the big ships then were the size of miners now
My account for example.Maybe killed 1-1.5k miners,rest is warships
I know there are players with 10k+ ship kills but only 10m pd
I suggest they take away the PD stat points from survey hits... make it real PVP not pick on miners
@bitter furnace please dont post same thing in multiple channels 🙂
Left 2 alone in #💭-suggestions and #💬-events-feedback
I suggest they take away the PD stat points from survey hits... make it real PVP not pick on miners
@novel jasper yes that would be best. And extra points for killing higher level than your own level. And very little points for killing lower levels, to discourage bullying baby players
