Either the event runs 12 to 12 or 1 to 1 (eastern time)
But it went 1 to 12
So we lost an hour
hardy parcel
The event started at 4pm yesterday and finished at 4pm today.
You had 24 hours
north wraith
But we did lose 1 hour of event from sunday to today
hardy parcel
Now there is a 1 hour break to make the events synchronous again
north wraith
That distorted all other activities

Nope

Basically to revert the screw up

Before Sunday’s DSL in Scopely world events reset 2 PM my local time. I already lost an hour from that since i couldn’t get the last points in. Now they put a 1 hour “break” to “revert” DSL screw up and re-sync the events.

@potent hound Last time when you auto-joined, you didn't have reputation as rewards.
Now they are so they give people control.

Well I am also having to close app and restart for the Winner to flash in top right where events are

What a joke! First the avatars are plain copy and paste from officers and now jack up the faction hunt numbers to boot? BOOOOOOOO Scopely
languid girder
Genius, I have no officers to upgrade, builds are 2+ days, and no ships to level as I’m waiting to level to 30. Am I missing something, how can I possibly complete the domination event? Possible to get vidar through FTP my #%€#
nova valley
@crimson walrus i've noticed the same.... i claimed all my daily missions to get daily chest. VERY SLOW updating... @abstract gate i can file a ticket, but i'm gonna assume CS is backlogged, and i don't "need" anything. but it needs to be a topic that's relayed on to devs if you dno't care starting me up a tab.
claiming ofany kind of daily, reward, or chest seems to have an incredible lag built in. i'm still waiting for my 225 points of my daily loyalty chest to fully catch up at the top. this is new today. it's always instant.
uneven dove
215 ships per faction from around 77 normal

Hello. I'm still not receiving any vi'dar blueprints in this Borg event. Does anyone know the exact requirements to be eligible? I'm level 17 and know I need a lv25 shipyard to build it but thought I would be able to get the blueprints by now.

@languid girder build an envoy, talla, turas or phindra. tier them up then scrap them.

Whose bright idea was it to have a massive faction hunt during the week instead of during he weekend, again?

Why would I want to kill double the numbers of hostiles just to get a rubbish avatar with no other rewards...? I’m confused.
abstract gate
Why is the fop milestone now 500pts more for same rewards? I don't care about the avatars but jacking up the requirements for the regular rewards is utter bs
obtuse otter
Everyone always cries about events getting stale. Looks like they changed it up a little
Faction hunt + Military supremecy
abstract gate
Rewards are still stale they just want us to kill 45% more hostiles for them now..145% if you want a janky avatar too
obtuse otter
It was a piece if cake before - not as easy as BfG... but now maybe the whole cake instead
kind spire
Ok so no more tokens in faction hunt, AND you guys increased the amounts?? Do you really think people want the Arkady avatar so bad? I can honestly say they don’t. Fix this please, Scopely. Let us earn our Vi’dar. Wait until after the Borg arc for these dang avatars. PLEASE!! 🙏🏼
You could have raised the amounts for more points, but Arkady avatar? Really? 🤣
dapper bloom
then don’t do the last tier if you don’t want arkady avatar
kind spire
I want borg points. Not an avatar.
kind spire
There were before, but of course they chose to mess up a good thing going.
dapper bloom
no, there are 2 events one who give borg points and the second not

I’m sure I am not the only one who is complaining about this. My whole server is going berserk 🤣

low berry
3600 for avatar where others need to do 1500 come on
barren night
it's double no matter your level. lower level players have lower level maxes.
low berry
But max points for hostile I get is 12 - 36 is 10 43 is 12 ??
Where is the sense of it
And 360 hostiles the math is non sense
So even if I hit 7 lvl higher hostiles I get 12 points
36 is 960k , 43 6,5m logic
vapid hill
Hey, they spent five minutes knocking out these ‘new exclusive avatars’ (translation: ‘we cut and pasted existing officer graphics so wouldn’t have to pay the fiver guy more then $5’), don’t knock em. Scopely puts out a quality product.
abstract gate
I still want to know why the milestones for the regular rewards have been jacked up by 45%
vapid hill
So you’ll pay $ to make your ship stronger. You haven’t learned that by now?
abstract gate
Screw the avatars, why do I suddenly have tokill 40 extra faction ships per event for the same lousy rewards?
Can't make a maxed sally stronger no matter how much money I spent
abstract gate
Went from 960 to 1440 for me almost 50% increase
Did they think we would be so overjoyed by the prospect of killing 900 hostiles for 3 janky af avatars that we wouldn't notice?
hardy parcel
Yes they increased the total before the avatar too
low berry
And it’s undoable in a normal work day
noble oar
Yeah this would be bad enough during the weekend but during a work day?
abstract gate
By all means delete it that's fine just don't forget to pass it on
Forget what?
You'll just delete it again, I ain't falling for it
😉
kindred edge
Is there an event schedule?
Like the last day for purchade of thr borg points is 1 day before the event ends
hardy parcel
No schedule.
kindred edge
I'm kinda new to the game events, are there chances to earn points to the last day?
For example there are 3 days 20 hrs left, and If i finish todays events i only need 26,100 points left. If there are 3 days of events left. With an average of 9000 pts a day i should be able to get vidar for free
If they dont havr a borg point day on the lst day of the event i get screwed and i wont even be able buy borg points
low berry
Next time do 10000 no one has life beside Star Trek 😂😂😂

@twilit imp Hello. As I mention earlier today. Why avatars? Their are more important things in the game that need to be fix or improve.
1- I’m still getting stuck after a battle or the game crash over and over.
2- refinery need improvement. We need better outcomes after a pull.
3- the package we purchased need to be better. Why are we getting grade
2 resources when players don’t have a need for it? We should be getting at least 3-5 time more grade 3 uncommon and a good amount of rare. Just for my warp engine on my faction mining ship I need 2800 uncommon crystal and for my Saladin weapon I need 280 rare crystal.
Those are three of the thing that would have been better than avatars.
dapper drum
we needed avatars so badly I guess so we got it
scopely knows whats best for us who are we to argue 🤷🏽

Because there are many teams working on many things. As they get finished it gets added.
@barren night
No there aren’t many teams working in many things. Puhlease.
If there were more to wouldn’t have taken a year to fix (some) incorrect text on ship descriptions. And xp officers wouldn’t still be broken a year later. Etc. etc.

@barren night ‘working on’ and ‘responsible for’ are two very different things. I agree there are different groups responsible for different things. But ‘working on’ is a big stretch.
For instance the new avatars would have taken like 4 hours to do, maybe. Probably less.

you lose more rss than you gain
they should add a redeem system convert say 1 kehra worth of bp for a faction bp

Events should be easy; at least to some degree...
As a ~50% increase in goal targets is already nuts, time wise spending on the game that is...
But a ~300% increase, for just a couple of avatars, that’s a big “hahaha, no! 🤯😂” for me, on an app with (again) a memory leak, with things still broken and/or not fixed yet for months...

teal terrace
@vapid hill should i max out antares or saladin first?
vapid hill
@teal terrace depends on whether you’re a fighter or a miner. Having said that, probably saladin for all the events/dailies killing, which will help you accumulate faster and tier your antares. Also saladin for base cracking.

@vapid hill my app continuously crashes on any iOS device. I have 2 iPads and iPhone all when after playing for about 10mins they randomly crash.. do you have any advice?
spring kraken
@barren night Now behave bc your behavior is not becoming of a Gen officer
@worthy furnace yeah.. get an Android or get BlueStacks 2 an make sure you know what system you have. 32 or 64 bit an download it an install it
vapid hill
@worthy furnace Helpful advise really isn't our thing here at Scopely Inc. We exist to make massive amounts of money off of our player base and investors (and we do!). In your alleged scenario that your ipads and iphones randomly crash, well, We'reWorkingOnIt™️. Really we're not, but you and thousands of other Apple device users continue to pay us very, very, very large amounts of money to continue to desperately play in those ten minute windows.
Additionally, our on-staff psychologists (24/7 presence in our offices, unlike coders that are only in for an hour on weekends..lol, I meant coder singular) have studied the issue extensively and have found that random crashes actually increases the reward seeking centers in the brain and actually increase play time and spending frequency.
We know what we're doing here at Scopely. I'm told by the mods on the 'official discord' that there are thousands of complaints a day about how dumb and bad scopely is...but I'm here to tell you, we're world class income harvestors. We know exactly what we're doing.
Enjoy your game and please do let us know if there's anything else we can help you with today.
worthy furnace
@vapid hill ok I will continue to buy more packs! Will you look into fixing those officers whose abilities increase xp? They have been broken for almost a year. When I opened up a ticket in nov/dec 2018 I was told they were working as intended. Then a month later other players said they noticed the same problem, has this ever been acknowledged by scopely? I don’t think the mods here think it’s an issue or surely it would of been fixed in 1 yr timespan if they reported it.
woven plover
@barren night are you a developer? do YOU know what it takes to add the avatar system to the game? As a developer I can tell you that he is not far off. A senior developer would be able to code and test the avatar system in a few hours. Most of the bones were already there, graphics for the avatars themselves already existed so it would have been a piece together project. excluding testing in QA, code review and whether scopely works in an agile environment or not @vapid hill was probably spot on.

@worthy furnace
Hello sir. Great to hear from you again.
Let me assure you that the mods are doing an amazing job of insulating us here at Scopely Inc., from the teeming, screaming, angry masses that are our player base.. They definitely did report the officer situation to us, and continue to do so. We greatly appreciate the thousands of hours they spend volunteering their time and effort to mitigate our customer support costs and other costs that we -would- incur if we paid employees to collect player complaints and game bug reports. Bless their hearts.
Remember what I said earlier about A. Scopely existing to make tons of money and being really good at it, and B. having a 24/7 psychologist staff on hand? Well, Scopely Inc., continues to make those tons of monies despite officers (and all the other broken stuff) having been broken for over a year. Why would we pay our one high school coder the minimim wage he demands? That hour of minimum wage would subtract from our profits, and we're only here to make profits, not provide a working, world class game.
And our psychology department assures us with charts and graphs and profit reports that having multiple vectors of player complain increases time spent in game and money spend on the game. Something about hardship unconsciously triggering the brain to try harder.
Anyway, again, thank you for trusting us with your correspondence, and assuredly let us know if there's anything else we can take care of for you.
barren night
@woven plover You are correct implimenting them should have been quick and easy. Yet, I am not sure how their dev group does things, and with all the other additions to the game with in the last 6 months. I can see how this would take longer and may have been farther down the list. What the decision making process is I can't tell you. I can tell you that they seem to have everything seperated in to groups and, it seems to work for them.
@spring kraken Not an officer for GEN, haven't been for... well.. ever...
@barren tide That is correct, you cannot access 4G materials until after 39
@vapid hill The officer promotion issues should have been resolved as of today, give it a try.

@vapid hill why isn’t there a better payout system for g3 material? And where the hell is g4 stuff?
@barren tide
Hello sir. I see from my chat history that we have never spoken before. Please be assured that I will tell you the truth and only the truth about what we're doing here inside Scopely Inc.
G3 payouts have been scientifically (well, if you call psychology a science) derived to light up all the centers of the brain that light up when a person gambles. Sometimes you get nothing. Sometimes you get a little. But sooooooooome times (ok, super rarely, like once every 4 months of daily play and two refinery pulls a day, you get A LOT). This keeps your monkey brains striving to keep at it in hopes of better bananas. Our psychology department assures us that higher payouts will decrease the spending habits of the player base.
Also, players are left frustrated and unfulfilled, which is a classic gambling trigger to GET A WIN NEXT TIME!
Don't get enough, need more? Buy that crystal all at once! So OF COURSE we don't let you have enough crystal. LOL I saw some player today on the discord have a list of what the game needed, including that refinery payouts should be 3-5 times higher. Can you imagine??!!? Pack purchases would drop 60 percent and everybody would be flying around in maxed enterprises.
So yeah, no, we're not increasing refinery rates.
Please do contact us again if there's anything else we can solve for you.

@vapid hill when is the server merge happening?
@barren tide
Hello again sir. So happy to help.
The 'server merge' is a rumor we leaked out into the player culture. Again, psychology department. We track the comments, it's been 10+ months of 'when the server merge happens things will get better' (I paraphrased).
A light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. Some great hope in the future that keeps the dreary masses toiling for their daily spoiled bread. That's what the head psychologist said. He was laughing, I must have missed something.
Again, our game architecture is highly influenced by behavioral sciences. You monkeys playing this game will do anything for a banana, and even more for the PROMISE of a bananna. How many hours have you spend killing all those extra faction hostiles today? For a little picture of a green officer you never use?
Additionally, keeping the servers separate and keeping the doors closed creates a particular kind of isolated environmental behavior that triggers the few big spenders to spend BIG. Big fish in a small pond mentality, basically. IF we merged servers and allowed travel between servers, the mindset of the scenario would be different in a variety of ways, so....you're stuck on your server and the doors are closed (minus a few days a year we open them for short bits to....yep you guessed it...spark your hopes again and keep you playing and spending. "Hey they opened the doors, A. they care about the health of our server! and B. more players so remember that merge thing it still might happen!"
Obviously Scopely Inc. isn't going to do anything that will decrease profit flow.
Thank you for contacting us, and definitely let us know if there's anything else we can take care of for you.

@vapid hill when will notifications work?
@real ocean
NOtifications work just fine. We have fixed them several times over the last year. Yes they keep breaking (or never fully get fixed on all servers) because there's a lot of turnover in our single coder position. The high schoolers that fill it often drop out of school, and we're commited to only having young promising coders (lol, there I did it again, coder singluar) on our staff so we have to replace them.

Missed communications lead to anger, killing each others ships, etc, which leads to more spending to make ships stronger, etc. Also the ongoing frustration is a trigger that makes the brain dig in even harder, keeping players in game longer and more often.
Which works out fine. Every hour of coder time we don't have to authorize is more dollars in our pocket.
barren night
Can you edit that before I delete it
obtuse otter
This is all very fascinating
vapid hill
@vapid hill What ya rockin brotha? Ent? D4?
@barren night
As an employee of Scopley, I don't actually play. I do however have unlimited access to free packs, so I load my ships and base up to give the poor players something to envy and strive for (we're all about the psychological triggers here).
Designer Keenser has an account on the server I'm on. His shield hasn't been down in months (employee perma-shield ftw!). It REEEAAALLLYYY frustrates the top raiders on the server....so they up their efforts to loot other players...obliging those players to...guess what?? Buy packs to replace their losses and build bigger ships to protect themselves.
I really do enjoy working for such a clever company.
spring kraken
@barren nighti sent it too you
worthy furnace
keen ledge
👀
merry fulcrum
We've got people with more than that sitting in their base on our server
They're raiders
worthy furnace
Yes he is not, lol here is stats..
barren night
Lmao we vault the dev on ours often...
barren night
Yesssss
merry fulcrum
👀
obtuse otter
I wish there was a careless dev on my server
barren night
we nail him darn near monthly... he's a good bank
merry fulcrum
Dev is inbalancing the server economy @barren night
barren night
LMAO
TBH I've vaulted one player so often, that he is honestly the most expensive 35 on our server..
merry fulcrum
Lol
obtuse otter
We just have a retired whale with around 25B parsteel that opens up once in a while
spring kraken
But until scopay decides to merge idk wtf we going to do. It would be interesting to see a PvP an server 19 combine. Everyone would throw a tantrum
barren night
We would vault that before he realized what happened 🙂 Alot of our raiders are pulling 2M+ a hit
robust vapor
Woot. All 3 avatars unlocked and still 8-9 hours left in my day 💪
supple gate
The tactics they are using are costing them customers not many people are willing to throw 1000 bucks at a game played in their phone every month or every other months I have see tons of people quit altogether
ashen wharf
yeah why do that when i can throw $60 bucks on a game that will last me 3 years of way better enjoyment
this is just a hobby game i wont be enjoying the thrills of progressing via the credit card
🤣
robust vapor
What are we talking about? So far for the entire Borg arc I've only bought the premium rewards, no need to purchase anything 😶
ashen wharf
you still paid
dapper drum
for the extra tug at the end of the rub
robust vapor
Didn't have to 🤷♂️
dapper drum
26.98 if you are maple blooded
robust vapor
If someone is throwing $1K a month at this game, they're way to into it, possibly in need of an intervention 😅
obtuse otter
ashen wharf
im no game developer 
but making people pay for progression that will actually lead them to be behind
has been this "vidar" shenanigan's
obtuse otter
No mods on... I can post worse
robust vapor
Who had to pay to progress??
ashen wharf
in order for you to progress in this borg event you have to build the vidar no?
dapper drum
nope
ashen wharf
you got it free right?
robust vapor
Yep, which I'm building f2p
dapper drum
didn't need it to complete borg event
robust vapor
Oh, event, no
obtuse otter
I'm building it now, for free
ashen wharf
it takes crystal right?
dapper drum
everything does
ashen wharf
crystal that could be used on your miners ?
dapper drum
the events you can use it on give crystal
robust vapor
Are you saying that I can't get crystal for free? 😂
ashen wharf
im saying its another diversion on progression
robust vapor
Sure, and they clearly do no want the average player to progress that quickly. I'm convinced 40+ is still very much unfinished 😂
dapper drum
I doubt cybernetic augmentation will end anytime soon
its been 2x a week for awhile now
dapper drum
Trashy Tuesdays?
robust vapor
Hopefully 🤔 with resources would be nice.. need.. steel..
ashen wharf
like all the events you had to score points to win the alliance events
dapper drum
no
ashen wharf
talking about borg hitting
dapper drum
yes
ashen wharf
our alliance won it yesterday but i got nothing because i didnt have a vidar
and never hit any borgs
robust vapor
Oh, I got points in it without spending 😁
dapper drum
got 27 uc3 crystal over 100 parts and 3k charged nanoprobes for killing 40 lvl 27s
you could have pulled a 1of10 shard
but was no crystal in that leaderboard
dapper drum
talking about cybernetic disruption
and there has been over 10 of them since this arc started
meaning over 300 uc3 crystal gained
and not even that much has gone to my ViDar
obtuse otter
and how many envoy's have you scrapped?
dapper drum
I scrap about 2 a month
obtuse otter
I'm lazy
robust vapor
I don't know that one off hand and 🤔 but the fact is that there's no requirement to spend in order to progress, if you think the requirements to spend is a problem then I'd suggest that you either have a problem with self control or with patience 🤔
ashen wharf
what level are you lmao
dapper drum
lvl 20
robust vapor
35
ashen wharf
if you really think you can grind out past 38
in the next 3 months without spending totally show me
robust vapor
Certainly can, I'm not interested in buying packs at the current value and have no intention of sitting on 35 forever 😴
Who said I needed to hit 38 in 3 months? See, problem with patience 😂
dapper drum
I'm 32 and I don't plan on being 34 until late september
ashen wharf
you said patience
dapper drum
when I have 140k creds of each faction, by time I get shipyard built I'll have enough for epics
dapper drum
3 months is nothing
robust vapor
3 months is not a while 😂
ashen wharf
3months to level up either your base or 1 ship part
dapper drum
not grinding enough then
ashen wharf
are you planning to play this for 10 years?
dapper drum
should be around 1 month per part
planning to hand my account down to next generation
maybe they will make level 50
robust vapor
Hey, how long it takes it how long it takes. Though I'm fully expecting changes to the economy to be coming "soon" too.
robust vapor
If you think the progression in game without buying packs is too slow and you don't like buying packs, this isn't the game for you maybe..
ashen wharf
progression in no game should take you a year 
for 1 level
not even clash of clans is that bad
dapper drum
only reason I play this game is I'll have something to always do
so tired of playing games and reaching endgame in first few weeks
robust vapor
Maybe not, but then don't play?
I enjoy the game, despite how much it slows down as you progress.
ashen wharf
oh i know that feel but most games let you proceed in a planned operated method
that you can forsee your progression
dapper drum
I can see my progression fine I have next 2 years planned out
robust vapor
I don't have a plan like that, but I'm ok with not hitting 40 this year still 😂
obtuse otter
What happens after 50? Only 6 drydocks... 2 stations?
ashen wharf
1 station still
robust vapor
2 stations, could finally raid myself 😆
obtuse otter
at 50
obtuse otter
what will the whales do?
robust vapor
Same things they did before I guess 🤔
obtuse otter
buy a strip mall?
robust vapor
They still spend on things in game, probably why they keep putting out new things to buy..
robust vapor
Maybe. But if they have that kind of money to throw at the game they probably have enough left over still..
ashen wharf
only cost $300k for a flight to the outer hemisphere..
dapper drum
its their money if they want to blow it on this game instead of hookers and blow that's their choice
entertainment is entertainment
obtuse otter
hookers and blow is great... but hookers and blow in space is even better!
raw zenith
There are already a couple lvl 50’s
robust vapor
More than one? 😮 I need to make friends with them 😆
robust vapor
Hey, if I had that kind of money I'd be bored too 😂
raw zenith
Well now they have nothing to do. They are bored in game. I’m sure their yachts and private jets provide enjoyment for them.
My ideal situation would be just to get a house in the mountains near a lake and fish all day.
Fishing is so relaxing.
dapper drum
they just sit in deep space mining g4 all day
robust vapor
If they get bored they won't be raiding, and then maybe I can get back to it eventually 😬
noble oar
So the Borg boss doesn't count as a borg hostile...great design...
floral trail
The Vidar bonus doesnt count against it either.
solemn sequoia
I mean f2p players will never make it past high 30's
it takes billions of parsteel to do single building upgrades, and unless they start increasing passive income by orders of magnitude, like entire servers struggle to support that parsteel spend
😂
floral trail
I am f2p and just going to ops 33. My ships suck though...
solemn sequoia
yea 33 isnt the problem here
the problem is the 6.6 billion it takes to get your dilly vaults to 40
when the biggest cargo hold you can have is like 2-3m at that point
so have fun raiding for 6 uninterrupted hours for a single upgrade
assuming you can EVER find that much out there
floral trail
Yeah, I am not there yet. Thats going to take some time raiding.. Or I just need to stockpile tokens for the next 2 years
solemn sequoia
top RSS raided is 10 billion on my server. 10 billion buys you a single upgrade at his level
Yea thats just kind of the point im making
as is
its not possible to move past a certain point without buying packs
floral trail
Lat mondays help though. I am not sure how much steel you get from that event at that level.
solemn sequoia
i'm personally at 37, and i've already spent 3 billion parsteel and i havent even touched my generator floor or R&D yet
floral trail
6 bil par is excessive for vaults which only add what another couple of mil to your protected?
solemn sequoia
yup. still a hard requirement to keep advancing a lot of the time though
jovial flax
I’m 37 with ops 38 started 40 days ago. Hoping for jellyfish 2 level up event since Christmas. If it doesn’t happen next week I’ll b screwed as I hit 38....... will be held back because of warping issues
solemn sequoia
yuup i spent like 2 months waiting at 35 for it then just decided to sat f it after the last event
hardy parcel
@jovial flax that's why I'll be sitting at 35/36 until I get an epic
jovial flax
I was a 37 1 day last time it happened before Christmas. I figured if it doesn’t come back in 75 days it’s not coming back. Just like Harrison. Don’t need to hoard rss forever. I already plan to stop at 40 for long time anyway. But I’m now sitting on enough rss to b a 39 overnight....
solemn sequoia
I got my epic already, i'm just stting at 37 until i have enough to make an attempt to win a jelly leaderboard
those things are brutal
need to do a huge ship ugrading spree anyway to be useful in dark space
timing should work out nicely
jovial flax
My server the pay to play I’ll never do. Jelly leaderboard one, winner has spent 6-7k to win.
Have 2 guys on my team 10k in trying several times yet not winning
gaunt granite
Question, if you already have the avatar in the alliance factions. Do you still receive the shards in that specific Hunt?
barren night
Yes
gaunt granite
Thanks
solemn sequoia
basically i plan on making only a single attempt at it
im going to spend these materials anyway
so ill just wait until i can do it in one go
And if its enough, great, if not, w/e
our winners are around 2.5-4 m
so like 25k UC, which isnt impossible, just a royal PITA
fresh bramble
Yea I am sitting at level 36 waiting for the Jelly event again. Will try one time all out to see what happens, but I am getting tired waiting. I wonder when it will happen again.
noble oar
@dapper drum Since the enemy is a borg probe I would have expected it to count as a borg probe for the vi'dar ability instead of wasting one of my two daily entries
hardy parcel
Not wasted exactly just a choice. Do the mission or do probes
noble oar
Well if I know the borg probe was a chameleon and not a Borg I would have had that choice
jovial flax
@solemn sequoia 2nd place on my server last time had 6.7 mil points 5th had 4.3 mil
solemn sequoia
😂 we've only had one get that big so far
jovial flax
All 4 since the last 2 level ops jellyfish event have been over 5 mil points to win
Well to get in top 2
olive rover
Not just go on a ship spending spree, but Armadas too
Gotta stockpile on as much of those as possible
lapis harbor
Do you get anything for finishing the event other than a new avatar?
ashen wharf
nope
robust vapor
Bragging rights? 😂
tawdry kindle
A sore thumb from reds whacking?
robust vapor
No sore thumbs here, just 6 new avatars 💪
carmine lily
super tedious to get all those. got boring fast
vapid hill
Im happy to say that I have only one uncommon unused officer portrait, obtained from grinding romulan rep.
robust vapor
I mean avatars 😋
hardy parcel
Yup. Officer portraits.
robust vapor
Eh. Call them what you like. They're called avatars in the game and they technically fit the definition of an avatar 🤷♂️
hardy parcel
Just give us some unique artwork
floral trail
Congrats @robust vapor that's alot of red bashing...
abstract gate
Spend twice as much trit, dil and speed ups to represent myself as a d list cast member nobody's even heard of? No thanks scopely, another swing and a miss 🚮
Why can't we just have the option of using our social media avatars like most other games allow? Unnecessary grind mechanic is unnecessary
vague vessel
I don't mind the avatars, but not getting anything other than the avatar for the grind to earn it is a little disappointing.
obtuse otter
Nobody was forced to grind for avatars. The Faction Hunt was over long before the last milestone
abstract gate
They also added nearly 50% to each milestone, at lvl37 previous faction hunts were 960pts for top milestone now they are 1440 (2880 if you want a crap avatar too)
You wanna make people grind for bs cosmetics that's fine but STOP MOVING THE GOALPOSTS
nova valley
goalposts are always fluid, and while i ALSO found it frustrating, there's absolutely no stopping that the game will flow and ebb over time. i don't mind that the goalposts were moved as much as the VAST diff to get a non functional vanity item.
abstract gate
You don't mind wasting 50% extra time, rss and speed ups for the same rewards? You're delusional
winged tulip
I'd rather last tier was just cosmetic rewards so i feel perfectly fine about skipping it, rather than them adding other stuff and me feeling like i have to grind it.
dapper bloom
same @winged tulip
abstract gate
Add an extra vanity milestone by all means hell set it triple the usual for all I care just stop trying to turn your crappy mobile game into a full time job ffs
ionic wren
new events? idea?

It was too much grind tbh. I don't mind working for it but 750 odd hostiles is too much.
Of course I got them all but hard work.

and so little points for it 😦 need 6,2k for last tier 😦

You are kidding me. From one horrible grind to another 🙈💩💩

Unlikely.

I'm sure there will be 2 more days of faction hunt for the remaining 6 avatars. That or mining. 🤣
raw zenith
events have been running only 2 days
hardy parcel
Faction hunt and swarm at the same time? Surely even Scopely are not that evil?
hardy parcel
Fed up of the grind during the week.
Look scopely, if we lose our jobs playing your game we can't afford packs. Do the grindy stuff at the weekend! 🤣🤣
dapper notch
yep, nothing new 😦 and tomorrow swarm again probably 😦
abstract gate
Faction hunt wasn't a borg event this time so it could have been longer. I'm actually glad, though. 🤣
abstract gate
Please don't ever do a 3 month long event requiring near constant play to participate again...we are only 2/3 through and I'm thoroughly sick of it already
teal jackal
lol.
@abstract gate these rewards are pretty awesome though.
And there are plenty of options. You can grind almost every day and get tons for free (which many of us have been asking for). Or you can pay to get something.
Much better then what Scopely has been doing in the past
south arrow
You still have to grind even fir the premium pack
jovial flax
Still no 2 level up ops event for a 4* jellyfish. Nor any other jellyfish events

@jovial flax maybe after borg

No race to ops xx thst I've seen though

Love the fact they give you mats you can't use on it 😂
crimson walrus
Am I the only one who sees this event as times up, but never saw it running?
Cybernetic Disruption
woven belfry
Have you build the Vi'dar? I think I only saw that event once I built it. Maybe even if you didn't see it, or only got it recently if you just build it, it still shows as ended
crimson walrus
Just built it today
woven belfry
You probably then just got the event near the end of the time and didn't see it when it was running. That's my guess. I saw it appear when I built the vi'dar, don't know when it started
crimson walrus
Ah, I guess that makes sense. Ended same time as alliance and faction hunt. I sped up the Vidar build after event research
dapper bloom
it appears once your vidar is built
jovial flax
@abstract gate must be nice. Not in my server
Last one ran on my server the 2 guys that won spent 10k each. 8.5 million points
dapper drum
cybernetic disruption is not a leaderboard
its a solo with milestones for just killing probes
ohhh you talking about that stupid race to xx for the ISS JF
yeah not worth the money
golden lichen
How can I finish Vidar event We dont have level 26 swarm :( not only me cant finish but most of us. lucky to those who paid. 😭😭😭
teal jackal
Never heard that issue @golden lichen I assume you sent it to support?
Have you actually sent a ship into the lvl 26 swarm systems? I find that in some systems, the hostiles will not appear until you actually send a ship
golden lichen
@teal jackal even we send ship to that system nothing spawn. I feel so sad about this game. Its so unfair.
teal jackal
Did you send a report to Support in game?
abstract gate
Yeah because support are famous for their ability to rectify scopely's f-ups
ruby sail
@golden lichen Can you attack a swarm higher then lvl 26?
golden lichen
@ruby sail yeah i can but how? there is no swarm level 26 in our server 189
jovial flax
Another day and no jellyfish event......
twin karma
Finished the mission line for chasing the Vi’dar all over place. For going through that story line. The ending sucks big time. For all the story material the Star Trek universe has and you can’t give a better ending.

A data extraction event, with a broken augment system, busted nodes all over. Thought that was gonna be addressed before the next one. Guess not

rustic creek
@shrewd totem what’s so Fin funny?
You guys run a event with a 3rd of the nodes and that’s funny?
severe bridge
A data event without fixing the data nodes. I shouldn’t be surprised scopely.

Who cares anyway. Rewards are beyond crappy, and we just had 4 weeks of heavy grinding. I will enjoy the three days vacation of not doing events for my part 👍
cinder flame
Jusr counted, 48 broken Decoded Data nodes alone ob server 12
cunning arrow
Server 27 also has zero nodes in Yarda and many more missing throughout Aug space and everywhere else. How willfully ignorant can Scopely be?! It’s like no one told the devs there are actually nodes missing!
lost abyss
@cunning arrow no, they know. People from our server mass submitted tickets to the point they announced they would be addressed shortly before another data event popped up. And yet, here we are.

Lots of fighting for nodes = more money for Scopely.

At least they didn't tie it to the borg event

I hate this event ... it SUCKS ! BIG TIME !

So nice of scopely to put out events in a timely manner.
abstract gate
We are boycotting data mining event. Rewards are laughable (why would lvl 30+ players even need lvl 26 ships bps 🤣). Increase rewards, add more data mining nodes, give us weekly bonus refinery and increased standard refinery output, allow us to raid bases for G2/G3/G4 and lower pack prices while increasing what we get - we’ll be happy. So many 30+ players are leaving. Scopely - hire better marketing pollsters and sift through all we write here, cs, YouTube, Reddit. Boycott data event! 🖖
abstract gate
With a maxed bb it's 1-3hrs depending on node yield....the real problem is the 💩y leaderboards causing node hogging
That and bugged/missing nodes on certain servers

You know, with so many people staying inside around the world, you’d think Scopely would come up with something a little more exciting than data...

Not enough nodes for data. Won’t be playing at all this weekend

Come on... a data mining event when everyone is cooped up at home hiding from Covid-19? How about something a bit more engaging? Like faction hunt on steroids... or separatist hunt?
abstract gate
I would take armada over this.
And I would absolutley take domination over this.
obtuse otter
I don't need to do this event, so I'm not doing it. No idea why anyone else in my position would. Why complain about an event and it's crappy rewards and still do the event? This makes no sense.
abstract gate
Agreed @obtuse otter I am counting this as 3 days vacation from game
obtuse otter
I'm sure there are many lower levels that need to build up Aug rep, etc. They can have all the nodes
I can miss out on 100 Aug creds. Been too lazy to buy in the store, so not doing event for them for sure
abstract gate
They must feel they’ve made too many ftp concessions with the borg events, so now it’s a 3 day ptp giveaway.
At least the rewards are crap...
twin karma
Like to thank the game for not posting the data event in a timely manner. And have a event with extremely limited source points! You guys have no imagination for design events.
abstract gate
Data events are whale-only affairs. Always have been.

Not on my server - at least not anymore. This is just an event to load up Zaurak with unshielded bases to me

This event is week. But I’ll max solo then take the day off. At 315k per hour and we have 2 nodes in yarda that’s 3 trips and 51 minutes. Rewards are not worth my time. And of course still no Jellyfish event! Which means my base sits for 3 more days.....
modern estuary
data events suck balls they only work for the top players due to very limited functioning data nodes. this need serious addressing. options are 1, fix all broken nodes before starting the event and 2. double the amount of nodes for data and 3. add data nodes in faction space that if used gain you faction reps for the other two factions but lose reps for the one you are mining data from
reef quail
Sorry don't come on this much but if one player can hit anyone he wants with no response I will do the same👍
inner cave
One node In yardra, ilmatar 4 nodes, ordra 3 nodes, ifrea 10 nodes, olassa 5 nodes. Plus my alliance is at war 😂
Now that’s what server 133 has. 2.5 mil for 100 credits. Could be done within 1-2hrs on the right nodes
But not enough nodes
modern estuary
exactly data node events suck ball because the bugs are too much
teal jackal
@narrow hull I think data mining is the MOST engaging event. It's pure PvP with the limited nodes and fast Miners. Start a war on your server and it's even more fun. 💀
jovial flax
@inner cave yep, we are now in a war as well but we r big enough on server 26 to still win the event vs our attackers gave up not even in top 50..... blind luck we were mining in yarda before it started so we control 2 nodes
inner cave
We are in a coalition of alliances (3) against another coalition (was 4 now 3) still managed to do well in events.
We only have one node their now 😭

Good both crew of I have no like? I am sure asked and answered but people have had more time with the Vdar now so please hit me with a couple options.

Ok. Thank you.
@inner cave one more question... I am about to bang all this out. I managed to upon build get to tier 3 (most parts not in... Maybe none yet for tier 3) and I am at 260k
Should I be doing 25s or 26 or 27?
This is for the missions since the event is over obviously.
vestal wedge
25s
crisp fable
Also I know my good over set ups so I suppose their weapons change at 29? But what is the standard pvp set up? I crack bases and stuff but I haven't don't much true like best crew pvp in the traditional way. Just miners and bases
I haven't really thought about it. It's radre I am in like ship v ship way scenario
Like war
Or aka howndoninmake yellow bosses across the universe easier
Not just the borf
Borf
Lol
I'm tired
inner cave
25’s mines is the same lvl and tier and I get 10k hitting 25’s and less hitting the 26’s and 27’s
Their is no standard pvp crew tbh. All depends on what the other player is using,
crisp fable
Okay well what about just like yellows
inner cave
General all round good pvp crew is the enterprise crew, Kirk Spock bones. Counter to this is yuki, Marcus and kang. Zhou if he is high lvl
crisp fable
Okay I'm not a newbie I'm just going to be honest I'm really tired I can't think what should I use anyway but I have to say they could just give us a crew manager wiz want more details with each crew set up like when activities abilities I should say don't fly against the yellow even though it's finding us a hostile combined total numbers that are real then again there's still glitch to a long way from there
And if you get sick for a week from a pandemic and you're only halfway through crew saving would be really nice to each other so I wouldn't have to be like what the hell was I doing and don't remember they have to do something who's my time a little bit
Crew saving because it's just too hard to remember everybody with everything they offer all the time and how weird combinations work when you look at it and you think yourself did I use this before and I felt like it worked but I'm looking at this and it doesn't make sense if it was just saved crew I wouldn't be questioning such thing
Thank you for taking the time I really appreciate it
Oh and just to be clear you are referring to purple Kirk buspar that Enterprise crew no not to get that's right? I know you're not but I'm checking
That Kirk Spock quasi unlimited Schiedls thing is just amazing sometimes
inner cave
Yeah purple Kirk
Also try kumak as captain, Nero and decious against armadas and separatists 😉
But if you want to continue this I think we will need to take it to another room
crisp fable
No that was great. It's just I am sick and it's just nice to be able to go oh yeah. That one with help from good people like you. They really need to add crew setups and save...
viscid flare
I agree with that. Setup a crew with a ship and save that. So.you don't have to swap officers every time..

Why are we doing a Data mining event with limited rewards and nodes/ entire systems that Scopely still has fixed?.... asking for a friend.. @WhoeverWansToAnswer 🙂
wicked goblet
Today’s Data Extraction event SUCKS A$$! There are less than 60 Decoded data nodes available to the entire server! WTF Scopley!!!
dapper drum
spend money and get stronger ships
robust vapor
😂 spend thousands, then get outgunned ridiculously still, pick on the small guys who can't fight back and hope they have no bigger friends, and then spend your time actively guarding your vulnerable miner. I love the "helpful" answers on here 😂
What's really sad is that I was actually planning on mining data today, scratch that plan 😶
fierce flower
We have less nodes now then when did when the augment event began and way more higher lvl now. The lines ups are worse then costco.
keen ledge
Does Khan have toilet paper? 👀

It's a data event. There are literally no rewards if you've got rep and officers maxed already. It's basically a weekend off from event grinding. unless your alliance really wants to spend a ton of resources fighting over a handful of ore and some augment credits.
main oar
Data events are stupid. Maybe consider the separatist events scopely. You know, the ones people enjoy?
teal jackal
augment credits are very important though. Need tons to upgrade Khan and crew
abstract gate
Issues with data mining events:
1, timing. This is a 3 day event meaning it will intersect with both swarm Sunday and mining Monday, in order to effectively mine in augment space we need at least 2 free ships.
2, node availability. Many servers have broken nodes and even if they don't the number available is woefully inadequate.
3, leaderboards. Lb's lead to node hogging further compounding issue 2
4, rewards. Enough said.
Trash faction, trash event, trash rewards...get it in the bin 🚮
main oar
Dyspeptic, I agree will all that and will add.... the event causes alliance stress that is not necessary. It’s all ridiculous
150 nodes or so for the entire server.... oh I’m sure this will go well
abstract gate
It would be ok if people got in, got it done and left but the lb's effectively halve that number of nodes
You have alliances hot bunking the highest yield nodes
cosmic sage
It's more like 13 nodes because Most data systems are terrible to mine in because of how slow it is
main oar
It’s literally the only event where people get antsy and attack out of toe just because the freak out
abstract gate
With a maxed bb on a high yield node I'm done in 2.5hrs....2 if I don't unload my opc and somehow don't get hit. The lb's make it closer to 6hrs 3 of which is looking for a node
main oar
It’s nonsense. They either need way more nodes or need to dump the events. It’s absolutely ridiculous
cosmic sage
Last event I mined around 3 million data to win the solo leaderboard for lvl 31. Spent most of the day switching my BB's out over and over again
This time I'm not even going to bother with it lol
main oar
I’m avoiding it because I don’t want to upset an alliance member. You share a node but if some person comes and blows you up empty you just lost the node. I don’t want to be responsible for that
abstract gate
Aye the constant attention a decent bb needs is ridiculous too...10-15mins to empty a high yield node means near 100% online and watching
cosmic sage
I don't think it's a bad event it just takes soo much time. I'm gonna go fishing in Final Fantasy XIV instead. 😛
main oar
@paper robinopley we don’t like this event as it is currently made up. Please either add a bunch of nodes or just get rid of the event. Either is fine
abstract gate
Did the first one to get on the lb's, will skip next 2 in favour of swarm Sunday and mining Monday as they actually have rewards not 4 tiers of middle fingers
main oar
@paper robinopely this event is trash. Find a new one or increased the nodes please
cosmic sage
I don't need the rep, my augments are all stuck waiting on credits, and I sure as heck don't want the hijacked ships so I'm not even going to bother with the solo event.
and the person you're @ ing isn't scopley it's some random user
main oar
The ships are garbage if you are over level 29
carmine lily
they put up this event because it's a weekend and their playtime metrics usually drop dramatically on the weekends. this event requires 100% activity to hold nodes. IT was a stategic decision and very much expected based on what they gave us the rest of the week.
carmine lily
The event is thorougly trash tho, don't know why anyone even bothers with the lb. there are literally no rewards aside from a handful of ore and no rewards at all for the solo event. virtually everyone at this point has maxed out all their augment stuff.
cosmic sage
I really wanted the one million dilly token last time. I mean sure it's not that useful but it was kinda new then.
strange maple
Really couldn't be bothered with this event. Got way more important things to be doing with my play time.
dense lantern
Will there be swarm sunday today or just this stupid data event?
dense lantern
👍
wary plume
There another issue, not every "guild" follows roe and for along time there been a gray area about bb mining in "normal space". Some guilds will kill bb in normal space.
Be carefull mining in this event without a bb!
Some guild will KILL on site any miner that is not a bb in "kahn" space
Hope everyone has fun, but I ask please don't make things worest.
If you mine without a bb good luck and hope you don't get destroyed. 😢
cosmic sage
Use the right ship or you deserve to get destroyed IMO.

This afternoon event rewards are replaced with toilet paper. Expect a fierce battle
dapper drum
as soon as the starts in 5 minute timer showed up at 1 minute into the event all lvl 30+ systems had enterprises and iss jelly on them holding the nodes
shrewd totem
it is very easy to get a node in augment in my server
there is always one person who is oc or 0
delicate cape
Yes augment event is a waste of time high lvls just take and like said in here not enough nodes so scopely feeding the whales at our expense
dapper drum
for me its a bonus I need 8600 indy creds to take joachim to tier 4 and khan to tier 3
so I have to mine it regardless, this event will make me mine enough to take a week and a half off of mining after
dense wolf
I am not receiving charged nanoprobes when doing borg tech refinery work I've been at 752 of 885 on one vidar component. It reduces my number of inerts and provides zero charged. This has left me at 5days with no award at first tier refined. That 5000 some odd charged particles I am owed @twilit imp

Just putting this out there, Scopely, what were you thinking when you created this Augment event? Like, "Yeah, this is gonna be awesome for players, a mining event where there's no data mines available and tiering up the botany bay where you need plutonium which you can only get from mining, players gonna love this, oh and let's make it so everyone's getting attacked by hostiles and other players, because that's much more fun", the word idiot's doesn't even begin to say what I think about Scopely and whoever made these Augment events in the first place.
delicate mulch
So only one swarm event? Heroic isn't there but the regular one is already
shrewd totem
Read above please
lost granite
Other levels are showing heroic on my server. Will there be compensation for the ones who don’t have it or will they run it for those levels are a different time? Best event rewards out there and they can’t get it to launch
shrewd totem
Sadly cant answer any of those questions but I already reported it and let's hope it gets fixed fast

idle hamlet
wish they would stop giving rewards like tritanium and 4 uncommon crystal it is of no use to me it its only 4. bring back some more missions for the vi'dar
so that i can get the last blue prints
dapper drum
only needed to complete 19 of the 25 days of events to get it
don't expect any BPs for it soon, will be long time just like the franklin
you can always buy the remaining bps
languid cove
Yeah, you likely missed it
dapper drum
just like scopley planned
idle hamlet
i wouldnt have been able to complete the missions im still new to the game so not sure how they would of expected me to go up agains level 18 plus swarms to complete the event
i did all events i was able too
missions.
they just automatically assume that everyone is OP AF
abstract gate
Most events and missions are skewed towards the highest power range possible for your lvl, it's a sales incentive
Don't be fooloed though, go at your own pace and ignore the bs p2w economics. With the right focus you can do most events easily.
idle hamlet
I tried my best had 51k left to get the Vi'dar just couldn't complete it due to my ships where not powerful enough to take on the level 18s
I could take on one then get killed with a second one
abstract gate
Main focus should always be ships over ops, get to a point where events in your lvl bracket are near trivial before upping ops to an even number
There's a few key officers that are also a priority (cadet uhura, instr spock, chen, t'lann and later pike and moreau)
idle hamlet
Let me put it this way I can't do any research till I up my ops I'm now level 19 and I have unlocked more combat research I don't rush this game
I use all those you mentioned
abstract gate
If you are planning on being f2p the slow and patient route is the only viable path
idle hamlet
I am I refuse to p2w
abstract gate
And sometimes that can mean missing out on some events unfortunately
idle hamlet
Yeah I just realized that
abstract gate
Don't rush to it but once you get kumari and focus on that things really start to smooth out
At 19 if you don't have multiple envoys you should make that a priority too, at least 2 preferably 3 maxed envoys as early as possible will make a lot of things easier
idle hamlet
I need one more BP for a second Envoy trying to get the res for the bot bay aswell
abstract gate
This is a mining game with a pvp overcoat...keeping your refinery supplied is key
idle hamlet
That will be for my second envoy
My Envoy is never not on a mine I can currently hold 8600 protected res so once it reaches that I recall collect send out
abstract gate
A main warship is important too and shouldn't be neglected but a fleet of decent surveys will serve you better and for longer than any sub lvl28 warship tbh....properly invested in the kumari will be good upto lvl32 if you haven't got an uncommon faction ship by then
Oh and don't be tempted by the lvl26 faction ships, they are utter 💩
idle hamlet
Thanks for this info I have alot of good people in my alliance always willing to help and I learned from them I had rushed to level 15 but I have stopped rushing I upgrade everything to current level and all research I can possible complete before moving ops over to the next level.
All my ships are maxed tiered and leveled now its all about research and crew.
Till I get my first tier 3 ship
Thanks again for all the info definitely helped me alot regarding certain things I was unclear about.
abstract gate
It's the even numbered ops lvls you need to prepare for as your event brackets and non faction dailys increase on those
Odd numbers you can safely rush
abstract gate
Nope, build strength and prepare for 20, once there 21 can be safely rushed though (assuming you've adequately prepared)
It can be a bit of trial and error but around the mid 20's you should have a good idea of the power you'll need to advance safely
foggy isle
So who here under level 30 can complete the data mining event? Hell who can get to the first tier of the solo daily event when all that is available is corrupted data? Not to mention the systems that only have 4 data mines. This event is a joke and only in place for the credit card warriors!
last hamlet
meager galleon
@last hamlet Those Recruits are always there when you have Transporter Patterns
It is not a way to see when Data Event is coming
last hamlet
they popup exactly 1h before dataevent
last hamlet
And no I had 400 before event started and these purple paument icond were not there
meager galleon
I’ve had them in my recruit tab for months because I always have some patterns left over
Trust me. You’re incorrect
last hamlet
well I had not these before event started
meager galleon
Transporter patterns and the redemption of them in recruit tab is in no way linked to Coming Darkness Event
last hamlet
well I correct that when I see next data event
I do not have those purple things before
shrewd totem
You probably maxed an Epic or rare officer recently that is why
You see them when you have max rare or Epic officers and you get transporter shards from them
dapper drum
lol they have been around for months and long after augment space and long before last data mining event and this one
weak copper
You may not have maxed them in terms of level and tier, but you have the maximum number of shards you need to max at least one of them
foggy isle
None of this matters. This data mining event is total BS. Use whatever explanation you want it does not work when there are so few nodes period!
Maybe you should scroll thru the thread and actually read. I'm not the first one to bring this up. This is strictly a whale event!
merry fulcrum
Event rewards aren't really worthwhile either, not hard to max augment rep, and zeta tokens don't give much, if we could full drops this event would be a bit better, and there's not enough nodes in augment space no way in hell am I mining 1million corrupted data
foggy isle
Good luck with the 400K just for the first tier
Hey admins, maybe you should bring this to the devs attention. Isn't that why you are here?
weak copper
They have. Multiple times. You being rude about it isn’t going to get it fixed any quicker
merry fulcrum
Lol
It makes the devs know they have unhappy customers who use their product
And will make it a bigger priority
However I bet everyone will stop caring about data nodes once this event is over
foggy isle
actually they need as many complaints as we can put out there. Maybe you should pay attention that's what customer service is about. When the customers are not happy the people in charge need to know. One complaint does not solve everybody's problem that makes it go to the bottom of the list.

data event is pointless for me as ive maxed augment reps
and i am not wasting hours of the day for 100 measily credits

you will need around 1000 days of indy cred collection for officers
unless you want to buy 300 to 400 every 100$ novel officer pack
might as well get 2 weeks of mining done in 3 days
jovial flax
This event is quick. 2.5 mil points is 51 minutes of mining. Easy mode
carmine lily
That's nothing, ours has been filled with no less than 30 lvl 41-47 ships.
dense apex
they need to offer secondary events for similar rewards for all the mining events tbh esp on servers with whales knocking people off nodes just because they can
or enforce ROE on all servers during events

Same, did it on day 1 for the leaderboards got 2.5mil pts and I'm still 3rd rn...only 6 players in my lvl bracket have points on the board. Nobody asked for this and nobody wants it.

I’m currently lvl37, and the solo data event on my league level is for lvl36-37 players...
