What would be the point? In our server we hit nothing. People moan about miner hits, hitting floating ships. Nobody puts out ships if they think they will get hit or loose the fight.

abstract gate
Unless linked to a new gameplay element / event style, what is the point of your “power destroyed”? Our ‘top’ player has been rogue for a few months so he got there by shooting countless miners. Good for him
waxen kelp
Without a way to actively defend against attacks it really isn't PVP. The bigger ship will win regardless advantage or of the crew.
With the addition of a incoming scan or attack hail that would allow for a counter measure of some kind would be more PvP than point, click, kill.
rough frost
Swarms 😍😍
rapid sky
So domination that takes 2 clicks gives 12K points but swarm which requires grinding only 9K 🤷♂️
waxen kelp
Tricky business
Now they will most likely only reward 9k daiy until the end of event so there is no way to get the Vidar if you missed at points along the way.
obtuse otter
Most likely? It isn't etched in stone
rough frost
There 14 days of event left, how can you know what they plan or not ? Especially when I m not even sure they plan anything 😂😂

True story
shrewd totem
Panic did said it will be easier than Arc 1 so I would said wait and see what happens
Plus during Arc 1 we used to get a lot of 4.5k points events at the begining
rough frost
Yes, but there were also the bugged point in arc 1 ;-) still, I don't see why we could have 4-5 days of leeway last time and not this time 🤷 Borg event is actually pretty good for f2p
shrewd totem
Agreed
dapper drum
arc 1 gave less points but also had alliance lb and missions and 1of10 giving coins
shrewd totem
But in #⚡-mod-announcements we did said those werent needed to finish Borg event
dapper drum
I ended up with over 300k coins from 1st arc
and I only bought 50k
so there was quite a bit of overflow
shrewd totem
280k in here,no points bought
abstract gate
So before swarm started I was 18k from next milestone, there's 9k combined from both swarm events which should leave me 9k from next milestone...I'm 1.8k from it though...anyone else notice this?
shrewd totem
👀
abstract gate
Not that I'm complaining...
rapid sky
Previous arc I finished with 6 days to go, I don't see how it could be easier this arc even if all days would give 12K
shrewd totem
So why are you sharing?
Now I will report and it will get fixed 😈
Joking,no one works during weekends 😅
sour jacinth
egregariously exploiting the swarms
abstract gate
I want a loyalty box for my honesty 😉
shrewd totem
🤣
rough frost
We had same first arc. Last step of some event were giving more point than written. Not a real bug for me, probably just a visual one 🤷 or they would have fix it already
abstract gate
16.2k pts seems a lot for a simple visual bug tbh...12k has been more or less the max pts per day so far
It's probably a coding issue from tallying points from 2 seperate events
Coding and math aren't scopely's strong suites...or transparency...or creativity...or...eh you get the idea
Event is displaying the wrong score, my inventory has the correct one
shrewd totem
You really want this to be fixed arent you?🤣
rough frost
I stop trying to understand scopely maths something like .... 10 months ago 🤷 just go with the flow 😂
abstract gate
If we actually want scopely to step up their act then we have to report every f-up...for consistency
Besides their "sorry we f-ed up" boxes are awesome
obtuse otter
I am forced to disagree. Scopely is good at math. They just don't apply it in a beneficial way towards players.
I'm still trying to figure out why I get Military supremecy.
abstract gate
Is the advanced swarms needed to get the ship parts free?
obtuse otter
The Vidar? Maybe. Maybe not. No way to know how many points will be available in future events. @abstract gate
abstract gate
Ugh, of course. I cant kill lvl 18 swarms yet. So guess theres a chance I dont get it
obtuse otter
I'm sure there will be other chances to build the ship. 😬
rough frost
@abstract gate you are using tlaan for swarms ?
obtuse otter
@median slate I never said you wouldn't have to buy it to build it
abstract gate
I just leveled to 18
abstract gate
Time consuming isnt my issue. Since I have no jelly or franklin, I'm stuck using turas and envoy... at 32k power my turas wont kill a lvl 18 swarm. My envoy can get 2
rough frost
What crew do you use ? @abstract gate
shrewd totem
Second person thinks he cant kill lvl 18s....
POWER MEANS NOTHING
Use Cadet uhura as cap,Cad McCoy and Tlann
robust vapor
Tell that to my Saladin vs level 35 swarm. Thanks Scopely, I hope you built in a points buffer 🙁
rough frost
@shrewd totem I want royalties on that sentence 😃😃
shrewd totem
😅
rough frost
Lvl 35 are hard ... From what I understand you need Francky max + pike + research max to kill barely 10
shrewd totem
@robust vapor with Pike and a good tier Brel it is possible
Or Franklin
But still POWER MEANS NOTHING
rough frost
Brel do them ? Conformably or only a handful ?
rough frost
Royalties 😬€€€€€€€
robust vapor
In can't afford good 😂
And power means nothing, as long as you have good ships and crew 🤣
rough frost
Swarm 35 are around 4 million power. Francky max is 450 k ? .... Power mean nothing ;-)
shrewd totem
✅
rough frost
Crew, research, ship abilities ..... That matter
warped geyser
out of curiosity, why use cadet mccoy over cadet kirk?
i use cUhurha (capt), cKirk, and Tlaan and get quite a few kills easily
robust vapor
Because a bunch of us find better performance using cadet McCoy. Though individual experience may vary.
rough frost
@warped geyser on centurion t7 Kirk is better. On Francky mac coy/Spock are. From our test anyway, the difference was limited, so as the bat say, take what is best for you 😊
warped geyser
hmmmmm, once i max cadet mccoy, i will definitely give it a test. always looking for ways to improve my swarm bashing
shrewd totem
At the end it is all about testing multiple crews.That is why I hate youtube videos about crews.You cant know what is best for everyone,too much indivudual stuff involved and testing crews is fun
rough frost
Yeah 😃😃 I test my crews eating those pesky feds lover 😃😃
rough frost
Rom for the win 😎
warped geyser
i chose fed and roms, fed because its popular and rom so i can use my cent to bash all the salis that exist in the galaxy
shrewd totem
shrewd totem
I could kill that Gladius with my Sally!
I need to dig my ss history but I do remember killing T5 Gladius
rough frost
Sally will max around 1.5. Gladius will go 2.5.
I do think of taking a brel if I can grind one tho to take my ( perfect beautiful ) cent place
shrewd totem
Brel is best in PvP
rough frost
Those crew not the best he could have used. For the first screen, 2 tier difference so perfectly normal tho. Can take out sally tier 8 only since gladi tier 5
Brel is nice yeah. When I finish locking Klingon, will see to farm one maybe
shrewd totem
I couldnt kill him once he upgraded Glad to T6 till then I killed him with every crew he tried just didnt ss all of it🙂
If you have Pike,go to Ty'Gokor and kill hostiles
They drop 1-3 bps for 50 chests
rough frost
It s on the plan 😎
shrewd totem
I still need 13 more Pike shards 😭
warped geyser
best place to farm bortas prints?
rough frost
Got as quite a few in beta penthe
warped geyser
thats going to haveto wait until i get stronger ships, but now i can have all three 😈
warped geyser
i plan on getting all the ships ate some point, might as well
shrewd totem
Yeah I am also collecting ships but wont upgrade Cent over T1 just like how my D3 is T1.
abstract gate
That is @shrewd totem and @rough frost I can at least kill 3 now before needing repairs
shrewd totem
See without trying you werent even gonna kill 1.Wish other player was like you and actually tested the crew instead ignoring
rough frost
😊👍 good start, it will get better when you grow and got stronger ships. The key is to never give up
shrewd totem
And dont hesitate to ask for help when needed 🖖
robust vapor
I tested, went boom 😂 considering trying a different crew to see if 1 kill is possible with stat boosting though 🤔
shrewd totem
@robust vapor you cant kill lvl35s with lvl28 ships unless you are lvl40+ with max research
And max officers
rough frost
@robust vapor when I start going for lvl 32 , i stack below deck with hight attack officers. It made the difference between 2 kill or zero lol
robust vapor
So much for that can-do attitude 😥 I get about half with Pike crew, sucks
rough frost
Wait you tried swarms 35 ? 😱😱😱
robust vapor
Yeah, otherwise it's 263 level 32's 😑
rough frost
I m op 33, can kill 20 lvl 32 and I didn't even though of visiting lvl 35 yet 😂😂
robust vapor
I probably can't kill 20 in one round 😂 new upgrades to test though, see how it goes. 263 to kill..
rough frost
Don't give up you will got them 😃 one day 😃 soooooon 😬
shrewd totem
I can do 14 with my Sally but no Pike or prime officers
rough frost
Pike is less effective on swarms as he add to base stat and swarms depend a lot more from research / ship hability.
Still got a 50 % increase with it on francky ( 10 to 15), but nearly no difference with centurion. Do 20 with gladius, but never tried it before today
robust vapor
If my Franklin wasn't a joke still, 3 per repair. I can get 12 with my Saladin. Sighs
rough frost
I done dailies and grind more months with cent before being able to do lvl 32, and still more time before being actually able to USE francky on 32 😱 but worth it now tier 7. Tier 8 will be 2 time better
robust vapor
My problem was Bortas main before swarm started, so I've just never been able to swarm. Slow progress on the upgrades and no reason not to push ops 😴
shrewd totem
You could have got Brel long time ago
robust vapor
I can get b'rel, but I'd still need to upgrade it a bunch 😬
shrewd totem
Not that expensive.Till T4 it is cheap,at T4 it needs 3kish gas to tier
robust vapor
😑 I'm considering it.. 60k credits further away from the D4 though then 😶
fringe owl
Have you tried your B'rel against L32 swarms @shrewd totem?
merry fulcrum
👀
fringe owl
Ah, just curious. Working my way towards getting a B'rel, but the ops 32 heroic swarm requirements look nasty.
shrewd totem
Will let you know,if you have Pike just double what I will get and should be 90% accurate
fringe owl
I've only got about half the shards I need to unlock him.
shrewd totem
He is amazing,I need 13 more 😭
fringe owl
Yeah, I think I'd rather have him than Harrison right now. (don't have Harrison either)
merry fulcrum
Harrison got a nerf for overall pvp when they buffed the faction ships
However, he's a monster for base defense
fringe owl
A lot better than the 4 my Bortas can get.
robust vapor
🤔 I'll be honest, that doesn't encourage me to get the b'rel for swarm..
shrewd totem
Should be able to do 20 easily with Pike
And gets a lot better after T5
Oh and my research is crap
robust vapor
And jelly is a ranked event, will be a nightmare 😑 though I'm told the faction specific research makes the epics more efficient in regards to repairs, so they apparently still see regular use in the 40 crowd 😬 apparently
barren night
@fringe owl don’t you have a cent/sally?
fringe owl
Nope.
robust vapor
It's unlikely I'd get mine higher than yours today @shrewd totem 😋 haven't bought a pack outside of Borg rewards in months now 😶
barren night
Nvm then 😉
fringe owl
I could get a Sally now if I wanted to though.
shrewd totem
Jelly can be ranked event but when you get to lvl36+ probably 99% of whales will have it already so much easier to get if for you
And also there was one time they give Jelly for upgrading ops
barren night
What is your Frankie at?
fringe owl
Tier seven with one gun, cargo, and warp needed.
barren night
With the cadet crew you should do okay then. That’s 2 tiers higher than mine
fringe owl
Oops, meant tier six.
shrewd totem
T6 is for lvl30s 😐
fringe owl
Yeah, last time I tried it only got about 55% of a L32.
barren night
Oh... nvm 🙂
robust vapor
I think my Franklin is only T6 too, so the research and Pike crew helps a lot then 😬 maybe I can hit T7 after grinding this event out for 2 days 😭
astral minnow
We need another event tht gives players the chance to buy Franklin bps w/ ep. (event points).
modest oyster
Harrison is still the best PVP officer in the game. By far.
rigid moon
Should I be the only one missing 1800 points in the Borg-Invasion? I now have 124200 points, what cannot be correct, because all events had full 1000 points ... 😮
robust vapor
@rigid moon I saw a screenshot of same points.. check your items and see if the actual points are different?
rigid moon
more curious ... there I only found 117k of borgpoints, that's the amount yesterday
robust vapor
Well I've not finished the current dailies, but haven't missed anything yet. I've only 110k points, so I'm guessing 117k is the correct amount after completing today's 🤔
robust vapor
@noble oar no hundreds for full completion 😋 and also difference in points shown and points collected.
@noble oar check your inventory too? 🤔 A pattern is emerging.
obtuse otter
Incorrect points displayed was raised earlier. Scroll up about 7 hrs
noble oar
117k in inv, seems more plausible
robust vapor
Matches my earnings better too. I'd say 117k is correct for full completion up to date, 124,200 means Scopely love you more than they do me 😂
rigid moon
Normally, I do remember my points correct, and I'm sure there were 117k yesterday plus 9k today should be 126k. and that's also the conviction of my ally-members
robust vapor
Except that would mean you're earning more points than I am. 117k will be my points on completion of today's, nothing missed to date. 👍
rigid moon
Ok, maybe difference between servers? America vs Europe? Other starting times?
robust vapor
Anything is possible. But given that you physically have 117k points in your inventory lends credibility to my theory 😋
rigid moon
We will see tomorrow, maybe is's the fault of the 29. of february
eager hill
The difference in borg points are because of ops level. In arc 1 ops 31-32 got few k more points than ops 33-35. should had been reverse but yeah, Scopely
robust vapor
That wouldn't explain the difference in event points and physical points.
Neither would it explain the odd number of event points.
granite zenith
im pretty sure in both the last arc and in this one scopely pads the points in the final tiers... do we really wanna keep bringing it up so that they stop?
eager hill
ah I thought the discussion was about difference of points between players.
robust vapor
Mine haven't been padded 😥
I'm more answering the issued raised. Learners my lesson after complaining that there need to be more options to spend the gold trophies; never complaining again 😅
eager hill
just to add here, I have 108.6k points in invasion event and 106.2k borg points in inventory. Exact difference of 2400 points which I will get after finishing the swarms.
robust vapor
Why am I missing out on these free points 😂
teal jackal
@shrewd totem My ROMULAN Centurian, similar power, can kill 24 swarms. Just saying...
(that's lvl 32 swarms)
robust vapor
Yeah, I've been too busy to farm the rep, but that's what I want for my swarm 😑
shrewd totem
@shrewd totem My ROMULAN Centurian, similar power, can kill 24 swarms. Just saying...
@teal jackal that isnt because of it is Romulan.It is because of Pike,traingle adv and research 🙂
Oh and power means nothing

you must of missed the 3 days of separatists we had during valentines
smashed them elite bosses like a 2$ hooker
north olive
Unless your server is getting different events 👀
dapper drum
there was a huge fight about it in discord because only boss gave points
and people missed 3 days of points
because they couldn't beat bosses

I've not had a separatist event since not long after the ship and station buff.
north olive
Glad it's not just me ... I was racking my Brain... dont remember killing any boss separatists in a long while

I was very grateful for the ship buff, or I wouldn't have been able to finish it 😂
I've been waiting for the next one so that I can test out Pike.

Not on my server, I'm online every day and would have seen a 3 day separatist event 😴

it was across all servers

Well...
dapper drum
and people were rioting in discord
only bosses gave points
and it was 3 days long
scroll back to mid february
robust vapor
I just did a search and found a bunch of "haven't done in ages" and "should do it" posts?
dapper drum
search isn't useful enough you have to scroll
north olive
Honestly chatting now in my alliance discord there been no boss separatists event in months!
dapper drum
you all must of been having a bad week around valentines
north olive
Not saying you you havent but server 149 did not
robust vapor
Also the people saying that it hasn't happened in ages and they should do it suggests we aren't alone 😋 you'd also think a big fight would turn up something about it.. I'm not scrolling that much just because you don't believe us though 👍
I'm online every day, I'm doing events every day, I'm checking events every 6 hourly cycle. No. Separatist. Event.

not everyone will have the same tier vidar, not everyone will even use the vidar or attack optimal targets or use the correct crew etc. etc.

Another probe hunt after using all my warp cells for the last one. Great 👍🏻
It's a leaderboard so gives more people the opportunity to get some rewards.

This is bullah-t same events back to back and can't get points needed don't have powerful enough ships for the 28/30 swarm if your giving (lol) everyone the new ship let us get it as fast as we can and you'll get money faster when stuff has to be bought to move up/ahead. Again sad they say 1 thing but never intended to follow through. Won't be wasting any of my $ on this game
brazen field
So why are the current events 3000 less points total than they have been? Until yesterday, they were 12k total.
$copely playing bull$hit for dollar$?

Increasing chance of paying to win. They have also not done any points in alliance events either this time round.
Dont think im topping the event arc without buying a pack this time round
merry fulcrum
Yeah, you have to pay to participate in that probe hunt leaderboard

@merry fulcrum I constantly mine lat, so mining events are np. Besides the lat from the refinery, more important are the D'Vor parts.

I do not have the D'Vor yet: am building a stockpile of parts. Hope it is not like the Franklin with freq mods. What a joke.

there are key levels were you benefit from stopping for awhile like 18 for 3 docks, under 25 while you build up your research and mats for lvl 26 or 28 ships whatever the goal, then 30 for faction surveys and beneficial event rewards

At level 16 you get in range of the northstar

Your threat from beyond heroic is frozen. I completed the first one the heroic was going along with the 1st one in points. When the 1st one finished the heroic one froze up. I have reloaded the game and restarted it twice with no results. The points don't show as I defeat the swarms.

@signal hill did you try the clear local cache and restart your device?
signal hill
Yes I did, it did no good even reloaded the game.
@gusty rose, yes I did, even reloaded the game. No good

@signal hill by reload you mean re install? And next step will be ticket with CS if you not already done it.

@slim aurora this is most certainly a PvP game. The storylines are pathetic. The events are boring, the only reason to bother with them is the rewards.
You guys really need to get over your DDLY derangement syndrome btw.
Have you read the description of the game in Google play before?
"Join Millions of players -- forge alliances, defeat your enemies, and build an epic fleet to secure, or dominate, the galaxy.
Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, boldly go where no one has gone before!
Create or join powerful alliances to dominate star systems and build the most powerful empire in the galaxy."
You claim this game isn't PvP but you started a war with us for doing what the game description suggests?
merry fulcrum
👀
junior ingot
We have the most powerful empire in the galaxy and we dominated some star systems. We interrupted your Farmville and you didn't like it.
merry fulcrum
😂🤣🤣😂
ashen wharf
Millions players is a false statement but sure
merry fulcrum
They aren't that special of an allaince
She's the one who says they're the police of the server, and claim we're trying to force them to follow rules 🤷♂️

If you believe every word of the description i guess

@junior ingot Did daddyKhan send you here? How cute. Oh, run along, daddys calling

junior ingot
@merry fulcrum we have like 920 million power between our 2 alliances. And your old guard alliance in its diminished state has 333 million power. The second alliance in power, Mossad's, has 400 million in power.
But sure, we're not a hegemony. We're nothing special 🙄
merry fulcrum
Nope, you no longer have the strongest ship on the server 😜
junior ingot
Are you talking about the Kelvin that Sponge can kill no problem?
merry fulcrum
Yeah, it can't kill "no problem" just checked out the log, didn't even deplete the shields
junior ingot
I'm asking him for an update. I'm sure if he can't kill it, that will be a very temporary situation.
slim aurora
For those that care, server 28 has been in war for about 14-16 months
junior ingot
Sponge has a total power of 42 million while the next player has 27 million, and the owner of that Kelvin has 25 million.
I wonder what the repair cost is on that Kelvin. The base repair cost listed on LCARS, before research etc, is 1 billion trit and 25 million dil to repair.

And i usually leave 2 miners on lat node overnight and get 10k raw lat in the morning, can still do 2 batches every 6 days.
carmine lily
Yeah but it's the same thing every time someone thinks a mining event is coming up, every single node everywhere gets occupied many hours before the event actually starts. ever since that last data event hit, people start camping out on all the data nodes first thing in the morning the day an event change is happening. They all leave the second a mining event doesn't appear. It's extremely disruptive to game play when this happens.
This phenomenon could easily be ended if we had an event schedule and solo leaderboards were removed (they're insanely unfair anyway).
Players will min/max their gameplay anyway no matter what scopely does, the only difference in gameplay when events change is literally just a few minutes between those who guess correctly and those who didn't. as far as mining goes no matter how long people prepare it's irrelevant as the high level players with extremely fast miners or on g4 will always win and will always be the determining factor in alliance wins.
Make no mistake, this is not a pvp game, it's a mining game.

@junior ingot no one cares about your server wars 🤣🤣

@hardy parcel so what's your opinion, is this a PVP game?
teal jackal
@carmine lily LOL> I love it.

@teal jackal every word is true. 😄

@junior ingot it's a resource acquisition game. How you do that is up to you.
Pure pvp (ships v ships) has no reward system in place really so it's pretty pointless.
Base raiding and cargo stealing is all good and fine.

You're not being punished, we've gotten an additional 7,200 points yesterday and today.

@quick sand nope...last 2 swarm events added extra points to the event display

I find the Events data disconnects from the server and stops updating. A restart usually corrects it
Hmm

This is different
robust vapor
No. There's extra points, not missing points.
abstract gate
The Event displays more points than I physically have in my inventory...inventory is correct afaik
quick sand
yep ... see it
robust vapor
Inventory is correct.
This was discussed yesterday and I checked my score and points prior to completing events, should have ended in 117k actually ended on 124,200. You can see this number stated by others too.
Compare points earned today with scores and you see again there's an additional 7,200 points in your score.
Don't complain too hard or they might fix it..

I like lat Mondays though it can be a pain in the proverbial to find a free lat node for all the envoys and horizons camping on nodes. Forgive me if I clean you, mining Tritanium is more efficient with Envoys.
robust vapor
Premining lat is more effective though 😁 start the event with 1-1.5m points, don't have to break your back finishing it then.
floral trail
Yeah, I always wait for the event start before cleaning systems, i'm not a total douche bag.. D'vor mines quickly enough to hit all the milestones.

What is with all@these envoys mining lat! They literally mine 1/7s
Do you guys sweep them all on your server?

@graceful shard If you set out an enovy or horizon with a 16k cargo for example on a lat mine over weekend it prob reaches its 16k protect by lat event start. x25 thats 400k points straight off. Start 3 miners saturday thats prob 1m points

Then all these people are going to be very disappointed when I purge 6 systems of miners before the event start.

That's assuming someone doesn't kill you before then. . .

How about making it so that mining points only count toward materials mined DURING the event so we don’t have everyone camped out on nodes 12 hours beforehand with slow miners.

While I like the faction hunt event better than the swarm, it sure would be nice if Scopely would fix all our 20/21 systems that spawn hostiles at absurdly low rates. Every single one has at most one or two hostiles and usually has zero. It's gonna make this event way harder for us than it has to be.
shrewd totem
Is there an event you wont complain about something?
vivid igloo
I'm not complaining about the event, I'm complaining about the broken systems on our server
Which we have been complaining about for a long time, well before this event.
shrewd totem
Yes I am fully aware of server 189 problems thanks to spamming it every few days 🙂
vivid igloo
I believe I have only mentioned it once previously in the bug-reporting channel. I am not surprised that other people mention it as it really kinda sucks and we never get any feedback about when it might get fixed.
barren night
@vivid igloo Your server is a consistent topic of conversation for the mods, and what we communicate to the teams. Unfortunatly, they do not disclose to us what actions are being taken. We do know they are aware of it, and, we keep begging for an ETA, but, we don't get a response. I promise you, as soon as we know something about the corrections coming to your server. We will tell you. I wish I had better information or news for you at this time, but we dont. I understand the frustration as we had similar issues on my server when it first started up. It took awhile but did get better over time. I feel ya bro, I truly do... Just wish I had something more firm to tell you than they are working on it.

prisma geode
This is what chaps everyone’s ass about events. One player can win it for an alliance.
robust vapor
Except he has 60 odd other players not doing much.. an alliance with 60 active members could still dominate easily enough, just hard to get enough people trying 😬
Also don't forget that the solo LB includes stolen lat, alliance LB does not. It's possible his alliance contribution is actually much lower than his LB score.
robust vapor
Yeah, hard to compete with G4 mining. P2W is the way unfortunately 😅

We can reach warp 75 just not where he’s at.

yes, people can still essentially cheat the leaderboard to win. the scores are lower than they used to be due to the recent "fix" but it can still be done.

We've had people on our serve carry their alliance, when there's not a single person from their alliance on the solo leader board, and yet they still place high

you'll reach the top tier, we got another 10days of events and even at 10k points a day(it's usually more than 10k, and will probably scale up higher nearing the end of the event) you'll pass the 225k needed

No. You gain by tiering your ship. How are you penalized?

Two different conversations.
- Tiering up g4 doesn't count for faction event. Boo hoo, cry me a river you already have the most powerful ships making the event a piece of cake now you want more?

Does [Faction] Devotion increase power and as such count for the domination event?

That is for a lvl 27 player. Those rewards are absolute garbage to kill 500 Hostiles
crisp jasper
Yes, that research increases power, but like most research, it's not really an effective way to make progress in domination. Unless you have a research event at the same time, you shouldn't try to rush any research for domination. Officer XP is really the way to go for domination, and ideally you'd couple that with an officer event.

@twilit imp hmm, supremecy event. Good event however a little problem, this event was created before the introduction of dark space and the removal of higher level systems ie a 40 hostile system. The event needs adjusted, I need to kill 500 40s, which is fine, I have no problems with that if I can get enough to kill.. the issue I have is the game has moved on to darkspace but events have not been adjusted to suit. I have spent last hour killing veteran 38/39 and got 18 40s.. please introduce 40 systems in normal space so that we can at least have a chance of completing event. Thank you.

dense lantern
Supremacy is only really any good for people with a ship ready to build. The hostiles part of it is too many people trying to find too few targets. 500 x lvl 36 is impossible even in 2 days with the number of people after the same targets.
@plush python @hal9000 Its a potentially good suggestion though, when no sepratist event, give us some more faction hostiles instead.
mental yoke
What’s odd is I’ve gotten the military supremacy event for the last few...this time didn’t get it. Nothing changed in ship or ops lv. No upgrades between any of them.
raw zenith
@dense lantern altanea is where i hunt. I need 36's so just killing 37-39
dense lantern
Its only going to get worse with the way scopley is allowing lower players to progress more quickly now, we will end up with loads of players fighting for the same level hostiles.
@raw zenith i have tried 5 systems, all already have people fighting for targets. And yes that includes 37s and 38s. But that also adds to the number of tines i'd need to repair and speed ups used...its just not worth it

@granite zenith difference is faction hunt you can do with level 30s
granite zenith
well... the design of this event is two fold... to a)get you into the correct ship for the ops level you are at, and b) to make a little money... if its too hard... do what you can and get stronger for next time... this is NOT for borg points.. there is no impetus to complete it
dapper bloom
Just don’t do it if you can’t grind it. I don’t do it
dense lantern
@dapper bloom agreed, i'm not either
Just a very niche event whichis clearly not targeted at the 'right' players most of the time. I already have the ships its asking to build, and way off the next tier so seems pointless to give it to me.
Would be interesting to know what criteria is used to allocate the event as not everyone gets it.
ashen wharf
usually people that have ignored buying them already
or people that have bought it but are stuck tiering it up
Tempt you to just spend the $1500 for that 1 tier up

If you happen to be able to tier something then great. It's just a little rebate to push you to progress @dense lantern otherwise ignore it

quasi merlin
@polar belfry yes still no transparency, very sad!
nocturne orchid
I believe that Revdeuce did a video on why some players get supremacy and others do not.
Basically came down to if you are at the appropriate lvl and rep to build a ship and have not done so you get supremacy was his conclusion. For example you are a lvl 32 with associate rep with Federation and have not built intrepid you will get the event. My understanding is that once you go to lvl 33 this example would no longer qualify.
I was a 36 by the time this came out so can not confirm.
fervent folio
@nova valley did a podcast about it, not sure if rev did a video
robust vapor
@nocturne orchid ensuing discussions found that even that was wrong, though they had to change the theory and put in that level limit for it basically immediately after releasing the video (which those problems were not new information for those in here, but content!).
Also very little changed for me since the last one and I now have the event, so I want to see what they settled on in the end and how it compares 😂
royal horizon
if they cost of the ship wasnt so outrageous it wouldnt be an issue, $100 is max for e to spend on any ship
$600 is insane
nocturne orchid
Then grinding will be your friend and only path of advancement.

slow and steady, lol
my D3 and Bortas are getting close to 1 mill they are good enough for me, lol

It only gets worse @royal horizon would be $1000 for you to buy an epic ship 😅 and that's the new cheaper option no less!
quasi merlin
If you are qualified for an event then the next time it should never happen not to be qualified without explanation..... but only my opinion....
royal horizon
those are above my pay grade, but im happy being mddle class lol
nocturne orchid
You can use your Bortas to grind Saladin and Centurion fairly easily. I started with Sal but built Centurion and Bortas for free.
Recently saw a post on LCARS about where to grind lvl 32 faction ships that I am testing out. Pretty good luck so far.
royal horizon
I wish they would quit putting bp for keyra, vakas, kumari and other seless ships in the "mega" chests
useless
i get faction ship bp very rarely no matter how high the hostile level
i kill 35 to 38 hips

nocturne orchid
I had better luck once the system I was grinding in was lvl 35 or above. For example when I was grinding for respected in Quv'lw I was getting 1 Bortas BP per 50 generally. That is a lvl 36 system.
1 print per 50 pve boxes

I get less than that in a 38 system 😴
robust vapor
I can't remember how many boxes 🤔 mostly just trying to get my rom rep up, so annoying 😬

Re: Military Supremecy
Im a lvl 28. I have already built the Bortas and the Saladin. I have -2M romulan rep.
And I got the Military Supremecy event.
Since I am currently working on getting them both to tier 5 (****ing refinery) I am assuming that in addition to not having a faction ship that you have the rep for and could build, there is also a tier threshold that triggers the event if you are below it.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
robust vapor
Pretty sure all of those points were considered last time they were crafting their theories 😴
I'd like to see a theory that a) doesn't discount an entire subset of the population who suffer from the exact same problem without offering a further explanation, and b) works fine, except for that one guy (and if there's one, there's more).
granite zenith
bear in mind... that they may have (read probably) changed the parameters from the first few events slightly... it is still a fairly new event (only beta'ed in December) so they are probably still tweaking the code
static wigeon
Triggers the day after I finally got my Saladin :(
What's with the short timescale, the right hostiles barely spawn without reducing the amount of time to complete as well
devout talon
I got the military event this time. I didn’t last time.
Criteria were definitely changed since I did not update any important building or ships between the two
robust vapor
Or we didn't know what the criteria was anyway so it could be exactly the same and we just don't understand what it is 🤔
mental yoke
I got it last time. Didn’t this time. Nothing changed on my end.
robust vapor
If literally nothing changed then you're doing it wrong 😂
But I'm still partial to random allocation so as not to have too many people killing hostiles in the same systems at the same time theory that someone had 🤔
weak copper
I’ve had it every time it’s been run so far. Wondering why the short timespan on it this time around though. It’s a long grind if you are unable to tier ships.
tawny coyote
This is the first time I see the event. My problem is that I already build the ship and have no way to tier up due to lack of rare crystal.
timber cape
military supremacy = 💩 500 x level 36 hostile, while I'm a level 28. Scopeley, back to the drawing board, this is a big mistake.
pliant stirrup
Bad kaiser your rep must be high
tawny coyote
I’m lvl31 and I have to kill lvl 36 hostiles. So not sure is the same of everyone. In federation I’m respected.
timber cape
hosermage, I'm Rom / Fed favored _sub 500k for each and Klingon Enemy -2 million. I don't consider that high.
dapper bloom
I’m consort with fed and rom, I’m lvl 29 and I have to kill lvl 36
river kayak
Same for both ROM/FED 29 and 36+
hollow oriole
Im 29, also have to kill 36+ for military event. Fed and Klingon rep is around 3 million, rom is -2 million
As much as I want those tri tokens , I'm not grinding 36+ for hours. It would take at least 15 full trips with my bortas
robust vapor
15 trips over 2 days? If that's all I needed I'd be in it to win it! I needed more than that just for my swarm heroics 😑
hollow oriole
Hey, more power to ya. I'm not exactly inclined to spend that kind of time staring at my phone mindlessly grinding. I have plenty of actually fun games on my PC to play
dapper drum
500 hostiles of that level is nothing if you are playing the game proper
cosmic sage
The rewards kinda suck for the ammount of effort that has to be put in to grind hostiles. Think the event is more of a bonus for people building a new ship.
Kinda like how scopley has been running events for the borg and only the people who paid can participate.
dapper drum
I'm already killing hundres of 39s a day to grow my rep
so its nothing out of my way
cosmic sage
I dont have time for it personally. I'm not really complaning about it though. Just because there's an event it doesn't mean it's for me to do.
robust vapor
Yours might not be 38's though! For me it's 40's, which are apparently also a pain with spawn rates.
smoky cosmos
I'm just lvl 34 and I must kill 500 lvl 40 plus... indeed back to drawing board scamely. I skip this event
robust vapor
Unless he has ships like mine, then good luck 😆
hardy parcel
@dapper drum if you have pike then doable
hardy parcel
Without pike it's more of a slog. Probably not 32 level 40 with a 28 ship unless a t9
But park your base in wolf and go nuts on the feds and you can do it
dapper drum
tier 8 sally with gorkon and kerla and woteln
took out the veteran 39/40, was only a handful per hull, pike is 2.5x as many
ashen wharf
40s dont spawn often
So thats the issue
They are trying to bait you into buying those epic ships
hardy parcel
Nah, like I said if you sit in wolf just kill everything you can do it.
These events you're best just going for the first couple of rewards.
@dapper drum yeah so 500 is a bit more than a handful. 😂
dapper drum
I could kill lvl 38 regulars without pike
get around 75 per hull
upto 100 if I use chen with tlaan and vel
I'm killing veterans for the rep
I'm already halfway through and I'm not doing it for the event
well almost halfway through, got a player acting like a drunk child in galaxy chat distracting everyone
hardy parcel
You make that sound like a rare occurrence, it's every day on our GC 😂😂
rough frost
Mostly it s me 😳😁😁😁
hardy parcel
🤣🤣
opal narwhal
If you are going to force me to kill 500 level 40 ships because I don’t have an Enterprise level ships, at least give me faction credits so I can get the stupid thing. Maybe there is a reason I don’t have one of those ships! It’s is not because of RSS!
hardy parcel
Force you?
No one is forcing you to do anything 🤣🤣
opal narwhal
Semantics, don’t throw it out there as an event and make it crazy hard to complete it. They are telling you that you suck, I suck for a reason.
hardy parcel
Do the first couple of milestones for easy resources?
They are trying to get you to spend, pure and simple
opal narwhal
I have to kill 125 level 40’s to get to the first level. You get 2 points per hostile.
opal narwhal
35, I am not spending all day killing hostiles for 6 UNC gas. What I need is faction credits, have those as a reward, that is what is holding me back. You need them for ships and officers, throw them out more as rewards for this event.
dapper drum
you advanced too fast then
hardy parcel
35 you should be hitting them anyway.
hardy parcel
Slow down and concentrate on your ships and crew for a bit @opal narwhal
split sequoia
ask him what ship he has
dapper drum
don't blame scopely for your short comings 🤣
split sequoia
🤪
hardy parcel
@split sequoia doesn't matter unless he's still using a level 26 ship....
@opal narwhal what ship?
dapper drum
yeah bortas or sally will do good
not so sure about cent
it will kill them but not as many
split sequoia
unless he rushed to 35 without much research and high tier 28 ship............
seen some of those on my server
hardy parcel
True, explorers aren't great for pve
dapper drum
there is a lvl 39 on my server with a 1m intrepid
and a tier 1 jelly
bad tech, my sally beats his jelly
hardy parcel
I'm honestly flummoxed that someone would level up to 35 without being able to kill high level hostiles.
split sequoia
could just simply be the effectiveness of killing high lvl's
maybe he does not have pike
critical for those high lvls
hardy parcel
I don't have pike either.
hardy parcel
But I made sure I could kill 39s and 40s back when i was 33 trying to lock my rep.
Not too scary only a t8 cent and a t5 gladius.
opal narwhal
I can kill them, it is the time suck of killing 500 ships to complete the event.
For very little return.
robust vapor
Are you on my server @split sequoia ? 🤔
abstract gate
I have a 1m sally and 1.3m brel and cant kill lvl40s? I can do 38s and 39s but veterans smash me
rough frost
@abstract gate veteran : need pike
robust vapor
I can kill 1x 4m power level 40 transport with my sub 1m Bortas 😁
hardy parcel
Yeah don't kill veterans without pike
There aren't many non veteran 40s but they do exist.
Wolf is one fed
Gya han klingon
split sequoia
@robust vapor 🤪
robust vapor
I think I'm the poster boy for leveling too fast 😆
split sequoia
our top raider 😉 got banned 🤪
robust vapor
Sounds like my server 🤐
raw zenith
@split sequoia that just means when he returns it will be with a vengeance. 🤣
robust vapor
Well the person in question said it was perma ban, but he seemed much calmer about it than I would have been 🤔
raw zenith
never understood how people even get their first ban. Its like some just have no concept of TOS.
rough frost
I doubt I would be ban with Scopely4Ever nick 🤔
flat fog
They can still make you change name lol
south arrow
It has nothing to do with the ability to kill level 40 reds when you have to kill 5-6 level 38-39 reds for every level 40 it’s becomes a waste of time
I’m not killing 2500-3500 reds for those rewards
floral trail
My ships are kinda stuck waiting on the 1600 uc crystals I need for my saladin or 1600 uc ore for my bortas, so grinding 38s in my case is pretty tricky. I can kill some, but as I have to kill 500 for my solo its either going to a) take a millenia or b) use 1000s of speedups, which I would rather save for other stuff. Its not like the 30 or so crystals are going to touch the sides of my needs.
abstract gate
1.1 bortas here, need to kill 500 lvl40...it is only 6 hull worth of npc...
Problem is spawn rate and 37 people waiting for same lvl40 to spawn
dapper drum
have you tried clearing out the other players so there is more for you
fervent folio
The primary purpose of the event is really to build and tier your ships, and to get you to spend money to do so. Kliing hostiles is there, but honestly the rewards are poor for that amount of killing
abstract gate
Honestly, I would not say so...67 unc crystal, 40 unc gas, 7 rare crystal and gas, 130 mil par and 40 mil trit in tokens is pretty good reward for 1 event.
My only issue is spawn rate and I hope (not holdin my breath though) they fix it
merry fulcrum
Issue is getting the spawns
rapid sky
Well at 31 the event for me is build Cent/Sally (already have) or Bortas (don't have but also can't get the BPs anyway), so I'll need 5 tiers for a whooping 49 UC crystal and 11M trit tokens, I think I'll skip
nova valley
@abstract gate i'm jealous of your payout. 15 mil trit in tokens, 0 steel, 6 rare cyrstal, 67 unc crystal, 45 unc gas, zero rare gas.
ops 33
abstract gate
36 here, yeah, mine are much better
hardy parcel
No event for me so I'm jealous of you both 🤷♂️
nova valley
@hardy parcel are you still within my theory i presented last month?
hardy parcel
No idea, would need to revisit your theory to check. @nova valley
scenic cloud
26 mil Klingon yippee
shrewd totem
Not sure about you Phoenix but that theory doesnt work for 95% of the players now
shrewd totem
For example I am lvl32 with Brel,Sally,Bortas,fac miners and lvl26 ships.Associate with Fed/Kli and still have the event
granite zenith
yes... because you only have the brel
you have to have the ships that corrospond to your ops and faction ranking
to NOT get it
abstract gate
Ops37, military supremacy done. All reds no build/tiering...it's easy guys
granite zenith
check your event... at 32 it should be asking you to build/tier a lvl 32 ship @shrewd totem
@hardy parcel to fit his theory, you would need to have already built the ships for you corrosponding ops/faction ranking
abstract gate
@shrewd totem but you can build (buy bp) for intrepid which you do not have and thats why you have an event
scenic cloud
Had fun got to go. Almost forgot about "Picard"
hardy parcel
@granite zenith ops 35 and no level 34 ships. Does that mean I should have it or not?
abstract gate
You should yeah if you're respected with at least one faction
hardy parcel
Respected with 2
abstract gate
Mine asked me to build any of the 3 epics...I killed every fed I saw for 10hrs straight in response
hardy parcel
Maybe scopely just doesn't love me 🤷♂️
abstract gate
As valid a theory as any other
hardy parcel
@nova valley so in answer I am respected with 2 factions. Level 35 and my highest level ship is a gladius.
abstract gate
I'm ops37 respected x3 no rares or epics and this is the second time I've got it
hardy parcel
🤷♂️
abstract gate
Maybe scopely looked at my spend history and thought a massive grind would incentivise me to crack open my wallet...swing and a miss scamley
Spend 1000€ or grind for 10hrs?...🤔
hardy parcel
Tough choice 😂
rapid sky
well I've been 30 or 31 throughout all the previous events, had exactly the same faction ships and never had it, and now I do
dapper drum
its because not enough people were biting that they selected and those they didn't griped about not having it
rapid sky
the only thing that changed (but I think this was prior to the previous event) is that my rom rep went above 10M, Fed is hovering around 9.5
dapper drum
now they have it and they are part of the same group griping that had it before and didn't want it
abstract gate
@dapper drum event is setup so it's a grind or pay kinda thing...no middle ground as building an epic maxes out the event
dapper drum
I have no lvl 26 factions ships and skipping 32's
and only option for me at 32 is to build a lvl 32 faction ship or 500 lvl 38s
so kill 500 lvl 38+ 🤷🏽
abstract gate
Easy enough...find a 35+ hunting 40's and buddy up
dapper drum
I need to kill high level traders for rep anyways so I'm already going to be meeting requirements
abstract gate
Wolf is excellent for that if you're using a decent sally
