Could be armadas... armada packs are in the store

🤣

#

Yeah looks like Star wants some 🔨

#

Could be armadas... armada packs are in the store
@granite zenith please nooooo unless they fixed spawn rates

swift lotus
#

Most likely swarms

#

I doubt its another faction hunt

#

Since Swarm Sunday was skipped

shrewd totem
#

It isnt swarms

swift lotus
#

I would love domination. Takes 3 min to finish

shrewd totem
#

We usually get swarms during weekends

#

Domination during weekend as well unless they make an exception

swift lotus
#

I find domination is usually early week

hardy parcel
#

Domination has been Wednesday/Thursday recently.

shrewd totem
#

I hope it is AoW or Fractured empire or Fac hunt

hardy parcel
#

Hopefully not mining

near vector
#

👍

swift lotus
#

I doubt fractured empire. There is often a separate event store for that one

shrewd totem
#

If it is mining,I am going to kill every miner in the server 😈

hardy parcel
#

🤣

#miningsucks

hardy parcel
#

You get booted for that? In your alli?

shrewd totem
#

I am the admiral 🤣

hardy parcel
#

Boot yourself then 🤣🤣🤣

shrewd totem
#

I did 2 days ago and went solo for a while 😂

hardy parcel
#

They let you back in? Must be as crazy as my alliance 🤣🤣

shrewd totem
#

Of course they did.I am admiral since last May.They love me

austere ravine
#

Love to hate? 😂

hardy parcel
#

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?

shrewd totem
#

Yep,Ent As!

hardy parcel
#

🤣👍

fickle rampart
#

BanCat

weak copper
#

Yeah, domination please so I can spend less time pew pewing red triangles and actually do the missions 🤣

abstract gate
#

Or how about...and stick with me here because this is gonna blow your mind...something new and interesting...

shrewd totem
#

👀

abstract gate
#

Too far outside of scopely's comfy little box @shrewd totem?

shrewd totem
#

Nah just curious to hear it

abstract gate
#

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

hardy parcel
#

@abstract gate but the something new and interesting was the probe hunt, surely? 🤣🤣

shrewd totem
#

I thought you were gonna suggest new events

abstract gate
#

Not my job

hardy parcel
#

There is so much they could do. Boss armadas. Capture the system, hell they could do point to point races if they wanted 🤣

abstract gate
#

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

hardy parcel
#

There is more than just mining, killing stuff, level stuff.

#

@abstract gate I know I was being sarcastic

abstract gate
#

I know

#

I'm just venting, bfg left me with time on my hands

hardy parcel
#

Yup, I'm using it to grind rep 🤣

abstract gate
#

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

abstract gate
#

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

azure temple
#

Probe refining thus far appears linked to the VD's tier.

abstract gate
#

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

tawdry kindle
#

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...

abstract gate
#

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

azure temple
#

The faction lock at 10M pts makes it possible.

ashen wharf
#

But dont progress too much

tawdry kindle
#

Lock in first @abstract gate , then start doing them missions 😉

abstract gate
#

Idd

ashen wharf
#

Or youll get mine g4

#

And not able to do those dailys

abstract gate
#

Rn at 37 having them cancel each other out is a good thing

ashen wharf
#

Because they limit progression by 97% paywall

#

No one wants their rep too high

abstract gate
#

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! 😂

eager lava
#

what lvl do these transporter patterns unlock?

abstract gate
#

You get them for “receiving” a blue or purple officer shard that you already have the max amount of

#

So not lvl related

eager lava
#

roger that, heh, ive only got a couple officers maxed so far, wont be holdin my breath

abstract gate
#

Note, just blue and purple

#

Not green or common

eager lava
#

duly noted, preciate you taking the time to answer

abstract gate
#

Sure thing. And in that regard a big thank you to @abstract gate as well!

pliant skiff
#

Oh come on, another mining event! More boredom!

winged light
#

Yayyy mining 💗💘

#

😭

radiant galleon
#

Ugh. Please have more variety in events.

winged light
#

Never gonna happen .... nobody cares us

gentle pulsar
#

mega miner🤢

winged light
#

Rewards are beyond garbage 🤣

radiant galleon
#

The mining event is going on for 2 more days 😭 this is why people leave the game. It’s boring and repetitive.

winged light
#

Just gives us one week Swarms, everyone will be happy

eager hill
#

thanks for another "lat" mining event with less rewards. exactly what we need after a day of mining 👍

carmine lily
#

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!

merry fulcrum
#

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

carmine lily
#

Quiz is a bust too

pliant skiff
#

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!

radiant galleon
#

@pliant skiff they don’t. It’s pretty obvious.

pliant skiff
#

At least if there's this much mining to be done give us a bonus refinery so we can use what we're mining!

rapid sky
#

So another 2 days of only 9K borg points... hmm...

gusty rose
#

Morning all

crimson reef
#

Where is a bonus refinery?

delicate moth
#

It's when a special refinery is on that only gives uncommon and rare

radiant galleon
#

@delicate moth yes. I think Gauzer was trying to ask if there is a special refinery.

delicate moth
#

👍

radiant galleon
#

Also, why is the alliance event only reward the top 10 🙄

tawny coyote
#

Faction event would have been better than mining event. Unless scopely is going to give us bonus refinery. @twilit imp

radiant galleon
#

@tawny coyote since it would make things more tolerable, the bonus refinery may not happen.

tawny coyote
#

@radiant galleon What do you mean?

radiant galleon
#

@tawny coyote that was kind of a joke & jab. Nvm.

tawny coyote
#

Sorry. Did not get it. facepalm

gusty rose
#

Yeah lol, the bonus refinery will return

teal jackal
#

There will be many types of events during this Borg arc.

radiant galleon
#

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.

teal jackal
#

So don't like mining just deal with it for a couple days until the next one.

frozen abyss
gusty rose
#

On here modding and no miners set...

molten charm
#

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?

carmine lily
#

There will be many types of events, mining, mining something else, mining yet another thing, killing 35 hostiles, more mining.

radiant galleon
#

@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.

molten charm
#

NS is great if you are at 20, but not above 26.

carmine lily
#

Ns is good at all levels if you know how to use it

molten charm
#

I only use it to swap out miners

#

It’s been maxed since forever. I hardly use it

#

Cargo protection is crap

gusty rose
#

I not used my NS since i got my faction miners, but i should

abstract gate
#

Same

gusty rose
#

@abstract gate hi mate

molten charm
#

Our server has too many Miner killers

abstract gate
#

Properly crewed a ns can hit over 20k/hr

gusty rose
#

Yep

abstract gate
#

My t5 kvort only does 17.5k and cost way more to upgrade

molten charm
#

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

radiant galleon
#

@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.

gusty rose
#

Max T Pring on NS is good

abstract gate
#

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

molten charm
#

It’s good until a certain lvl. My horizon gets more use especially when I can scoop 900k a shot when raiding a base.

abstract gate
#

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

molten charm
#

LoL when NS first came out, it was a Tank at busting bases between lvl 15-20

abstract gate
#

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

radiant galleon
#

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.

gusty rose
#

Mine is maxed around 450K

molten charm
#

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.

frozen abyss
#

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.

abstract gate
#

It has it's niche

gusty rose
#

Yep.

frozen abyss
#

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.

abstract gate
#

Indeed, most people that trash talk the ns just don't know how to use it to their advantage

gusty rose
#

Yep...

frozen abyss
#

So... where's our event refinery? Has there been enough of an uproar for them to bring it about?

abstract gate
#

Not yet #bringbackbonusrefine

frozen abyss
#

#EventRefinery

azure temple
#

Remember when Scopely said it the Borg Tab wouldnt effect event refineries the day it showed up, and we were all worried. Huh.

gusty rose
#

Yep

#

That is true

abstract gate
#

Scopely says a lot of stuff, like swarm Sundays will be a permanent feature...except when their not

frozen abyss
#

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.

floral trail
#

@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

gusty rose
#

@frozen abyss not cancelled, rescheduled

molten charm
#

@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.

iron roost
#

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?

frozen abyss
#

@gusty rose Does that mean it will start on Thursday and run for 2 days?

gusty rose
#

@frozen abyss i am not sure when

frozen abyss
#

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.

quartz crypt
#

@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

iron roost
#

From what I'm seeing so far, apparently you do

quartz crypt
#

Missions should show in your gifts if i recall. Or, event store

Hi, I got the 80 mission keys but how do I use them please?

wind vapor
noble oar
#

Oops, missed that, thanks

swift lotus
#

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

quartz crypt
#

Ah. I paid so didn't know the path

verbal field
#

All this mining and no one has asked about bonus refinery ! @twilit imp please explain why it has been removed form refinery events !

molten charm
#

@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.

shrewd totem
#

@verbal field Bonus refinery will still happen

verbal field
#

Ty @shrewd totem

meager galleon
#

Hmmmm

#

He means it will still happen in the game

#

Not necessarily that it will show up after Mega Miner

Yeah

Sometime in the future it will happen again

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

abstract gate
#

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.

viral gorge
#

Guys does anyone know if there is or when a "Race to Armardas" event coming up?

eager lava
#

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

proud solar
#

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🤦🏻

keen ledge
#

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. 😭

proud solar
#

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...

eager lava
#

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.

ashen wharf
#

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

river ingot
#

Working as intended

eager lava
#

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.

ashen wharf
#

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.

proud solar
#

Must be wonderful to be him🖖😇🤣😂🤣🍻😍

keen ledge
#

Keep it polite, please. No insulting each other or name calling.

#

PS I still don't like mining events. 😏

river ingot
#

Lol if u aint on a server where your $100 epic armada gets wrecked by others just cuz.... then u just mining for glory

raven gulch
#

Anybody know what tomorrow’s event is?

keen ledge
#

@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.

raven gulch
#

Thanks @keen ledge

floral trail
#

@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

real bluff
#

@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

proud solar
#

Appreciate your advice & happy to have options, fanx guys, been mining trit & para & fingers crossed. I might get all but the big reward🖖😎

late plover
#

Yes, mining events are ridiculous. Takes about 6 hours while on 3 G3 nodes

floral trail
#

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. .

quick sand
#

@floral trail yep, sure is ... F2P just need to grind the events for it

floral trail
#

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.

late plover
#

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

floral trail
#

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.

late plover
#

What level are you, out of curiosity?

floral trail
#

level 32.

late plover
#

Nice

dapper drum
#

1.82m points for 32

#

and with Antares and Valkis and Horizon its 40k/hr

floral trail
#

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.

dapper drum
#

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

floral trail
#

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

dapper drum
#

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

floral trail
#

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 🤷‍♂️

dapper drum
#

not waste a dock mining lat

#

mine something useful like g3

late plover
#

If you have a dvor, mining alt is far more useful than G3

#

Because your event will be done very quickly

dapper drum
#

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

floral trail
#

Lat is useful, especially as a FTP when my Kvort needs 6000 commons..

dapper drum
#

only 10 to 15 days of refining dual batches

hardy parcel
#

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.

dapper drum
#

also you can refine 150 lat a day with only 20 mins worth of OPC hunting

hardy parcel
#

On your server maybe. People are too careful on mine 🤣

dapper drum
#

my play times make it easy

#

I get 40k opc hits from lvl 34 systems when I get to work

hardy parcel
#

Yeah if ppl sleep while you are awake it's easier

floral trail
#

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.

dapper drum
#

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

tawny coyote
#

Good morning to all. Any idea what will be the next event we will do after the mega mining event?

dapper drum
#

more mega mining

proud solar
#

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 are still going to get the ship end of event

#

there is 23 days of events

cosmic sage
#

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.

dapper drum
#

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

proud solar
#

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.

proud solar
#

No D'vor, poverty player

#

No lat mine's in time to save today anyway

cosmic sage
#

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.

proud solar
#

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

tawny coyote
#

@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.

proud solar
#

. 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

tawny coyote
#

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.

cosmic sage
#

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.

@bronze dagger the alliance leaderboard is 2 days so bet we have 2 days of solo too

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...

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...

@hardy parcel everyone agrees 😂 there’s a clear lack of communication b/t players and $copely.

hardy parcel
#

Amen 🙏 @radiant galleon

abstract gate
#

Lack? That’s an optimistic way to see it

#

They utterly and contemptuously ignore us...

low berry
#

And where is solo probe hunt ??

abstract gate
#

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

#

@abstract gate well this guy ain’t gonna. I’m done spending.

radiant galleon
#

I’m not giving money until I see that scopely is actually making improvements to the game (fixing bugs, etc).

abstract gate
#

@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

hardy parcel
#

Not spending another penny full stop. They had their pound of flesh from me 🤣

abstract gate
#

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

hardy parcel
#

@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?

abstract gate
#

Do the dailies every day. Still only T2. Barely kills 10 lvl 20s. My vak can kill 35 lvl 26s per run

hardy parcel
#

I did the dailies every day and then some. T8 and kills 40 level 32s

abstract gate
#

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

hardy parcel
#

@abstract gate not bad at all. An extra 75 creds.
Well that's assuming you tier it up. Nothing stopping you sitting at t3...

abstract gate
#

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...

hardy parcel
#

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

floral trail
#

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.

dapper drum
#

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

ashen wharf
#

Theres a huge gap from blue ships > g4 ships

#

Since you cant farm epic ships unless you wait months for the credits lol

molten charm
#

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.😄

hardy parcel
#

Yeah. Either save for 8 months or hope you get the jelly.

halcyon patio
#

@hardy parcel whales have all officers max or almost max...f2p can't have this no matter of grind

untold mortar
#

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?!?!?!?!?!

hardy parcel
#

@halcyon patio just a question of time.

civic vault
#

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.

eager lava
#

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

devout talon
#

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.

molten charm
#

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.

calm stream
#

@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

molten charm
#

@devout talon I am doing the same to get my faction ships high enough to match 32 before moving up.

proud solar
#

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... 👀 👀 👀

meager galleon
#

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...

echo dune
#

Really miss the calendar of events used to get logging on to game.

meager galleon
#

@proud solar check your DM

proud solar
#

Thankyou🙏🏻😇... Zero intel & lack of communication is even worse than the bugs they won't fix 🙏🏻😇🍻

eager lava
#

@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

shrewd totem
#

idiot
Ah what?👀

south arrow
#

Should always base ur ops level on how hard events are if easy move up if hard stay

calm stream
#

If you have the ships strong enough to do your daylies you upgrade your ops , simple as that

eager lava
#

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

hardy parcel
#

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 😊👍

nova sierra
#

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

shrewd totem
#

3?

#

It is 2 so far

nova sierra
#

this is 3rd day for me

shrewd totem
#

🤔

#

During Monday,we had Lat rush not mega miner

nova sierra
#

same difference

shrewd totem
#

And BfG

#

Nope

nova sierra
#

yes

shrewd totem
#

Lat rush is easier to finish and much better rewards

#

And it is weekly event

#

So that doesnt count

nova sierra
#

okay, fair enough.... but three dys of mining in a row

shrewd totem
#

🤷‍♂️

#

As long as rewards are okay,I dont care that much

#

But mega miner rewards arent okay so yeah it sucks

nova sierra
#

imho ... mining is a necessary evil, not an event

eager hill
#
  1. rewards should be better for the mega miner event
  2. 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. 3 days of so much mining? please no
eager lava
#

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

nova sierra
#

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

tawny coyote
#

@twilit imp We are in our third day of mining event and where is the bonus refinery?

shrewd totem
#

Lat monday doesnt count 🙂

tawny coyote
#

Okay then two days. 🤦‍♂️

#

Still where is the bonus refinery?

eager lava
#

@nova sierra that sounds allot what they advertised the game would be, you e got my vote

shrewd totem
#

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 🤷‍♂️

tawny coyote
#

@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.

shrewd totem
#

Well clearly they think it isnt needed,otherwise would get it during 1st day of Mega miner

eager lava
#

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

shrewd totem
#

People can play however they want so dont call them dumb/idiot etc because of their decisions 🙂

eager lava
#

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.

tawny coyote
#

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.

eager lava
#

i mean, you can try, but youd be in error where the truth is involved.

#

🙂

tawny coyote
#

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.

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

That is so true.

eager lava
#

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...

tawny coyote
#

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.

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

So true. 😂

#

There should be a way we can trade grade 2 resources for grade 3. Maybe 2-1 ratio.

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

The package should give rare and uncommon plus maybe crew and ships X.

eager lava
#

no doubt

tawny coyote
#

The problem we have whale 🐳 willing to pay for that package so scopely has no incentive to change.

eager lava
#

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

raw zenith
#

You can’t scrap ship parts at all

eager lava
#

really?

raw zenith
#

Nope.

eager lava
#

ive heard high level players saying they can

raw zenith
#

No. They can refine broken 4* ship parts.

tawny coyote
#

I purchase think it was going to change as I move up in lvl but that we dum on my part.

eager lava
#

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

shrewd totem
#

I told you dont call people idiots

#

🔨

raw zenith
#

👀

#

The hammer??

#

Uh oh

eager lava
#

broken 4* ship parts? so... they can

raw zenith
#

They can’t scrap. You refine them into a fixed ship part

eager lava
#

you cant tell me to not tell the truth

shrewd totem
raw zenith
#

Oh snap

placid moss
#

I've been mining steadily for over 8 hours, and I'm not halfway to the final mining reward tier.

raw zenith
#

Somebody gonna get the 👢

tawny coyote
#

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?

eager lava
#

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

shrewd totem
#

I give advice it is up to you to listen

raw zenith
#

Well this isn’t going to end well

shrewd totem
#

It can be poor to you,but can be good for others 🤷‍♂️

eager lava
#

if you are going to give advice, it has to e good advice

shrewd totem
raw zenith
#

🍿

tawny coyote
#

@shrewd totem what are we in the wrong chat?

shrewd totem
#

@tawny coyote 🤔,dont think so

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

Can we get them to change the monthly package?

eager lava
#

why do you hide your face everytime you say something that you wish you wouldnt have

raw zenith
#

👀

shrewd totem
#

You can ask,but I dont know if they will change it @tawny coyote

#

@eager lava ah what

raw zenith
#

Who

#

Umm I would stop now before Bats gives you the boot

tawny coyote
#

I did mention it in the last survey.

shrewd totem
#

I dont want to start my day like this.... it is 4:27 am in here

eager lava
#

they could change the monthly package, it would be easy, adjust it to be lvl appropriate like the events, however, laziness prevails

tawny coyote
#

@shrewd totem where is that?

shrewd totem
#

@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

tawny coyote
#

Oh wow.

raw zenith
#

Bats doesn’t sleep. He truly is Batman

eager lava
#

apparently user avatars take priority over user features

tawny coyote
#

Yes but the store need to improve. And it something simple. I think.

raw zenith
#

Different groups work on different things.

#

Ppl working on bugs not same working on stuff like avatars

eager lava
#

be cool if theyd set up a group to fix broken nodes

raw zenith
#

But ppl asked for avatars. They listened and added them

eager lava
#

and a group to fix the stuck in battle issue

tawny coyote
#

Really. They ask for avatars?

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

I been asking to have the monthly package and other package adjusted.

raw zenith
#

They are working on it

#

Doubtful the adjust packages anytime soon

shrewd totem
#

It takes longer to fix nodes compared to adding avatars

tawny coyote
#

I ask for having ship repair and tier up in the hanger instead of dry dock.

eager lava
#

weve been asking for missions that are completable, and not mining or fortune donating based...

tawny coyote
#

We should be able to have two ship per dock.

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

I ask to have more grade 3 node in neutral space. I hard to get crystal when you are enemies with Klingon.

raw zenith
#

@tawny coyote there are 3* nodes in neutral space

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

Yes I know but is a parking lot. Lol.

raw zenith
#

The refinery glitch was an easy fix. Others are not

shrewd totem
#

Not every bug is same...

tawny coyote
#

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.

eager lava
#

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.

obtuse otter
#

Scotty as captain?

shrewd totem
#

Yeah,we know you are the best you know how to fix everything 🖖

eager lava
#

scotty as captain increases your warp range and allows you to reach systems further out

tawny coyote
#

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.

obtuse otter
#

...

shrewd totem
#

scotty as captain increases your warp range and allows you to reach systems further out
Do you even play the game?

obtuse otter
#

I know how scotty works. Do you?🙃

shrewd totem
#

🤣

tawny coyote
#

Let be nice.

#

We are actually having a good conversation

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

Yes I never saw that glitch. Wanted to see

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

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?

eager lava
#

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,

raw zenith
#

Prob need to kill 35’s at 32

#

For highest tier

eager lava
#

i bet thebatman has a link for that

shrewd totem
#

No need for lvl35s

eager lava
#

he posted one for ship/building costs, so it stands to reason that he might have a helpful link for dailies questions

shrewd totem
hushed agate
#

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

teal jackal
#

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

raw zenith
#

You have faction miners star

eager lava
#

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

tawny coyote
#

I’m lvl31 and have to kill 10 lvl32 swarm so if I understand I would have to do 20 at lvl32.

hushed agate
#

You still have the 10 swarm for 50 points, then a 25 swarm for 35 points, then 50 for 15

teal jackal
#

Ummmmm....yea. I don't believe you there. Scotty is probably ONLY officer who's ability has always worked properly. 🤣

tawny coyote
#

@hushed agate Yes that what I have now.

raw zenith
#

Never had issue with Scotty

shrewd totem
#

Scotty works perfect

tawny coyote
#

Just hope it doesn’t not change to kill lvl35 swarms

shrewd totem
#

It doesnt

hushed agate
#

It doesn't.

tawny coyote
#

Thanks.

raw zenith
#

I’m only 29. So my swarm are easy

eager lava
#

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

raw zenith
#

Have you submitted an in game ticket?

eager lava
#

literally have nothing to claim that fact

shrewd totem

Swarm at 32 only issue is Swarm Sunday heroic... gets 10x harder

Because he is

That's been in the store for 2 days... although you may be right

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!

With all of those broken nodes you want Data event?facepalm

Kidding, it would be an slaughter ob those who actualy works 😉

abstract gate

Faction hunt would be nice.

hardy parcel
#

No Armadas!

chilly venture
#

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

hardy parcel
#

No they left armadas for the break between arcs. Hope they do the same this time tbh

bronze dagger
#

Data is always a nightmare far to little nodes

chilly venture
#

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)

calm stream
#

Give us separatists event 🖖

floral trail
#

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

hardy parcel
#

Yeah domination is really tough for some.

trail rapids
#

Domination is easy, build and envoy, spend some lat to level it up a bit. Then scrap it later

hardy parcel
#

Assuming you have lat. Like I said for the low and mid spenders domination can be tough

south arrow
#

It’s stupid to waste lat on leveling up a new envoy cost lots of lat for very few ship exp

abstract gate
#

I vote faction hunt. And at least a week with no mining crap...

Faction hunt may be it

4 days of data mining

I’m still recovering from the last domination event 😅

wide depot
#

What no bonus mining event refines?

azure temple
#

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.

wraith sequoia
#

There have been many mining events with no bonus refinery.

hardy parcel
#

It is a BONUS refinery. We don't get it every event or even regularly at all.

azure temple
#

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.

sleek sage
#

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.

hardy parcel
#

Not that simple at level 35

#

Considering the uncommons needed. Also domination is over 1m points and even turrets don't give that much.

nova valley
#

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

hardy parcel
#

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

meager galleon
#

It’s officers... that’s the only real way to do it in the time frame 😦

#

At 37 anyway

hardy parcel
#

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

radiant galleon
#

@hardy parcel agreed. And officer xp is hard to get overtime.

abstract gate
#

Lol...only if you waste it outside of events

#

Faction hunt gives more than enough to clear dom events

hardy parcel
#

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

meager galleon
#

It depends at what level your Officer is

abstract gate
#

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

meager galleon
#

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

nova valley
#

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

abstract gate
#

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

hardy parcel
#

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

abstract gate
#

Idd, with the new faction loyalty box you get a handful but nowhere near enough to promote a full set for every ship

dapper drum
#

you all talking about domination to avoid the fact we are getting 4 days of data mining

abstract gate
#

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

dapper drum
#

but the whales will own the last few systems

#

just requires patience getting a node in the lvl 30 systems

abstract gate
#

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”

dapper drum
#

if you don't like it, you can easily take out a BB, just use Klaa and be sneaky

abstract gate
#

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.

hardy parcel
#

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 🤣

abstract gate
#

^^ 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.

spark nymph
#

They need to do a swarm event...they skipped that

abstract gate
#

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.

hardy parcel
#

7 pay to play events so far 🤣

abstract gate
#

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...

hardy parcel
#

Just one in yarda now for us. Missing a few in the next two systems as well

abstract gate
#

One in yards, 2 each in the next 3 systems.

hardy parcel
#

Ouch

abstract gate
#

Gotta say I do get tempted to start blasting non bb's in aug space some days

hardy parcel
#

I think vemet should be KOS

abstract gate
#

^^and that’s why I don’t mine data

hardy parcel
#

I mine it when there us no event.

abstract gate
#

My BB can’t even reach decoded nodes, and my envoy rarely lasts 10 min. Even during non-event times.

hardy parcel
#

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

abstract gate
#

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

hardy parcel
#

Erm. You can use decoded data for credits.

swift lotus
#

Use latinum

#

The problem with Augment space is its far and you need two ships

hardy parcel
#

Latinum is the only real answer for g2 survey parts

swift lotus
#

The BB should be exempt from bounty hunters

abstract gate
#

I save my lat for speeding up ship tiers.

#

Being ftp... I don’t exactly get a lot of it

hardy parcel
#

Nah, the two ship trick works fine

swift lotus
#

Ugh... such a pain

hardy parcel
#

Mine latinum?

abstract gate
#

Lat mining helps, but repair costs add up quick.

swift lotus
#

Not worth the payout... I can get credits or shards... can't even get both with one days worth of mining

hardy parcel
#

Don't use lat for speed ups

abstract gate
#

Plus I’ve been using a lot of my lat lately for ship parts on my warships.

hardy parcel
#

That's a mistake. I farm those and only use lat for commons (because you need thousands) and survey parts

abstract gate
#

Especially since I’m at least 3-4 months grind away from even a D3. Probably a year from Bortas

hardy parcel
#

You can go 0-30 in a year. I think you're being too negative

abstract gate
#

Started about 2 months after release. Had to takes 4 month hiatus for work this fall. Just hit 25

swift lotus
#

Best use for lat is ship xp when there are double ship events

#

speedups are so common with dailies

abstract gate
#

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.

hardy parcel
#

Yeah, with the improved economy now you can get a d3 pretty fast.

abstract gate
#

Honestly debating skipping the D3. Gonna need the crystal for my horizon first.

#

Stockpiling that HARD

hardy parcel
#

@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

abstract gate
#

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

hardy parcel
#

@abstract gate you could. The kumari can last you until the bortas especially if you're f2p
Ofc - of course

abstract gate
#

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

real geyser
#

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.

abstract gate
#

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.

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.

swift lotus

It will probably start Saturday

They're following the same order as the last borg arc

Yooo. Mining events usually equal enhanced refinery. What gives? No enhanced refine?

radiant galleon

@shrewd totem ok...

It’s clear they’ve given up on the game. We should “give up” by not giving scopely money.

crisp jasper

thin compass

Why does a domination event not require any sort of domination component???

winged tulip
#

It's only your wallet that gets dominated

thin compass
#

Like having a NASCAR game where you only build a car.

cunning arrow
#

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

radiant galleon
#

@thin compass I noticed that too!

cunning arrow
#

And where’s the Bonus Refinery?!!! 😡

radiant galleon
#

@cunning arrow they got rid of it. People liked it too much. 😂

thin compass
#

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...

@abstract gate you spent 3m repairing envoys?

carmine lily
#

Why are you mining on hostile space without protection?

radiant galleon
#

I think PSU was talking about all the ROE violators.

carmine lily
#

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.

crisp jasper
#

My mega miner was 2M points. I'm probably not making that on trit mines...

hardy parcel
#

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

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

hardy parcel
#

I did most of mine on lat after one of our whales had a hissy fit and cleared everyone 👶

abstract gate
#

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...

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

@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.

@teal jackal can you put that in announcements please?

ashen wharf
#

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

dapper drum
#

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

ashen wharf
#

so keep it tier 1

#

use other ships

#

cool

#

so its just as bad as the dvor in that refine aspect

teal jackal

@hardy parcel judging by the spam... err... posts earlier, everyone 🤣

full cedar
#

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?! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

rapid sky
#

@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

full cedar
#

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.

rapid sky
#

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

full cedar
#

Lvl26 they get first faction ship so it’s possible

rapid sky
#

well I skipped a lvl26 ship so was mostly limited to 32s and some 33s with my Kumari until lvl 28

full cedar
#

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

rapid sky
#

ohh yeah it was before, so I suppose it's better now

hardy parcel
#

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

exotic hare
#

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 🤣

hardy parcel
#

Well it's a permanent addition, like the Franklin that takes forever to tier up too.

shrewd totem
#

Yeah

#

And unless they add dailies/weekly events there is no use to upgrade it

hardy parcel
#

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

@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 $$$

stone grail
#

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.

hardy parcel
#

You upgrade a building and do research every day?

floral trail
#

Nope... but I do enough to claim my daily token

stone grail
#

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

hardy parcel
#

That's what I'm talking about. You don't need to do all of them. All of them is impossible without $$

floral trail
#

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.

Good question...did you lvl ops?

solar osprey
#

That was officer upgrades

abstract gate
#

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

radiant galleon
#

@teal jackal it wasn’t like that before the borg events though.

teal jackal
#

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

radiant galleon
#

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.

lapis harbor
#

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).

granite zenith
#

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. 🤦‍♂️

teal jackal
#

I for one enjoy hitting a single button and collecting a ton of rewards. Nice little break from the grind.

flat fog
#

That easy when you actually have ship xp or officer xp...

novel hollow
#

And mining was a grind but worthwhile

noble oar
#

How can you lack officer exp with all the faction hunts etc?

tawdry kindle
#

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

crisp jasper
#

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.

olive kernel
#

There was that too but nobody could mine or do anything else. I don’t recall having a realty event on my server

crisp jasper
#

It was several months back. You had to hit hostiles or pvp in certain systems with a realta

olive kernel
#

Hmm that may have been during my break from the game

crisp jasper
#

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.

teal jackal
#

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

jovial flax
#

Anyone ever hear if they are going to do the 2 level up jelly race again? Been 10 weeks since last time

carmine lily
#

@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.

shell depot
#

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.

carmine lily
#

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.

winter leaf
#

The realta challenge with points per win was amazing. Anyone remember that? Officers win that one.

bronze dagger
#

Hitting miners gives very little power destroyed, but is a sure sign of an aggressive player

#

I wonder what event delights they have today

shrewd totem
#

Look at pd and how many ship he killed

#

If pd is low but ship number is high,then he killed lots of miners

bronze dagger
#

Yup but for older players remember the big ships then were the size of miners now

shrewd totem
#

I know there are players with 10k+ ship kills but only 10m pd

bronze dagger
#

We had realta wars for ages

#

Great fun

novel jasper
#

I suggest they take away the PD stat points from survey hits... make it real PVP not pick on miners

shrewd totem
#

@bitter furnace please dont post same thing in multiple channels 🙂

@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
