yeah, in 5 years. they don't expire while you're standing at the checkout counter
robust vapor
If you bought them in a previous offering and chose not to redeem them, then that's a good scenario to expire.
Or if there the F2P ones that you didn't redeem when they were available to redeem 🤷♂️
tall fiber
Anyone still have mirror sigels we cant redeem for the special reward yet;)
old wharf
absolutely, worst case scenario should always be that you dump them into a consolation prize of sorts
such as an unlimited option for 8 and 9
robust vapor
They're designed to be bought and redeemed straight away.
He was hoping for better officers to use them on 😴
old wharf
because the previous ones were for 6 uses, i saved up 6 for the last round(s)
robust vapor
With no promise of there being any more on offer..
old wharf
sure, but it's still bad business
event stores always have some random crap you can dump your leftovers into
robust vapor
And if they didn't have this specific P2W only one, you'd be out still 🤷♂️
tall fiber
Maybe there will be something to dump into... like when they give us an option to spend all these borg points!
robust vapor
And no, they don't.. plenty of the P2W token sales are limited use windows.
old wharf
like i said, any fallback option is reasonable. but i've gotten 0 response in 24 hours
sure, but those don't overlap with f2p to make this scenario even an option. every other p2w sale you can spend ALL of immediately no matter what (or 30x in 60 days, which is also reasonable)
or during the span of an event, rather. obviously my intent wasn't to spend those 3 immediately
robust vapor
And they can spend all that was available to buy in this redemption 🤷♂️
You took a gamble in the hope of getting something better, with no information to suggest anything at all was coming, and it didn't pay off. That's the bottom line. Maybe they'll give you an option to do something with them, maybe they'll bring in another redemption cycle, maybe they'll add in the epics and you'll hit the jackpot 🤷♂️ but you made a choice based on an assumption, and your assumptions still don't match my experience with similar P2W officer tokens in the past.
Anyway, good luck with customer support 🖖

So, galactic gathering today only specifies to spend or mine G3. So does that mean it's just gas, it's doesn't say that in the title
dapper tangle
its any of the 3 (gas/ore/cry)
eternal willow
The title and description are generic to be reused. But the schedule said today is ore. It's gas for me as well. maybe they made a mistake - again.
dapper tangle
what level are you? screenshot?
eternal willow
I'm level 29 and all my miners were on 3* gas for dailies
eternal willow
ahh, that makes sense. Scopely really started throwing around short hands in their events lately
so they went from the ore schedule to just "any 3* material". sounds good
dapper tangle
ya I think the 1 mat at a time was too hard to get a node
eternal willow
yeah, our server really went crazy on day one 😦
In our alliance we use G3, K3 and E3 for the materials so this confused me with the naming. since they are normally written as 3* and 4* materials

We need more borg points for next events... Please 🥰

Haa... realistically he adds ~5% to my actual G3 mining speed (top pf my head numbers). Helpful but was a bit disappointed. But in this game every little bit adds up and counts in the end so I can't complain 🙂

Anyone know if there is going to be a chance other then the 50 pack to get borg decoys i am 5 short away from unlock tempted to get a faction officer pack instead but if I am dropping that amount might as well get prime officer or is there a chance to use borg points to unlock since there is a borg tab in the recruit
teal jackal
nobody knows
nova sierra
been away for a couple, so just curious...
Has anyone commented on how sucky the rng has been for Easter Officers?
Another topic...
Since I'm thinking about it.... Supremacy
If I'm not wrong, the common belief is that Supremacy is given to players that the Scopely algorithm determines are not where they should be, shipwise.
Has the algorithm ever considered that those players are not "where they should be" because the refinery doesn't payout as it should?
aka... Fix the refinery, and Supremacy wouldn't be necessary
@celest prairie get prime officers no matter what else you do. probably the best $ you'll spend
robust vapor
@nova sierra that belief would be incorrect by me, as I didn't have the military supremacy event until after I upgraded my ships 🤷♂️ missed it three times until my ships were stronger, then got next two times.
nova sierra
@robust vapor I dunno if it's true that is why it is triggered, but that seems to be the thought that I have seen. Never saw it until last two times. Completed both times. Still can't upgrade (tier) my best ship(s) because I still don't have the UNC necessary, so dunno if that would stop it from triggering
robust vapor
@nova sierra fact is that no one really knows, just a few theories around. There was that YouTube video the content creators put up, which included information that was already proven incorrect beforehand 🤷♂️ so they quickly amended it and changed it, and excluded parts of the player base that didn't fit the theory (theory fits as long as you're below level X, except for that one guy..), but then the theory is either still incorrect or incomplete 🙄 so.. yeah, no one knows 😂
nova sierra
@robust vapor If nothing else, can we all agree that refinery needs to be redone again? aka Mandatory Minimums.... You should NEVER get 0 UNC if refining 75k (imho)
robust vapor
@nova sierra 50/50. I think they should change it to exclusionary results, which would greatly increase the number of refines with uncommon and rares, but on the flip side removes the possibility of the lucky high pulls too.
I also think the entire economy needs an overhaul, getting to 40 should be more achievable for the average player..
dapper drum
I don't mind waiting until i'm in my late 80's to reach level 50
just means I have something to play until then
nova sierra
@robust vapor Your "exclusionary results" sounds similar to my concept of how Mandatory Minimums would work.
and getting to 40... Yep
robust vapor
@nova sierra on average it should not work out any better, ignoring any junky RNG 😅 but at the moment you could get 6 of the lowest options in a 3 batch roll, by excluding what you get from the pool it removes the high/low results and smoothes it out, while also giving real benefit to choosing 3 batches over 2 and 2 over 1 (currently some people only do 1 batch because they feel the results are no better on 2 or 3). Just need to convince Scopely 😅
abstract gate
Yep, I only do 2 batch refines because my dailys are 25k each anyway so I've always got enough and am always building a reserve for bonus refine
nova sierra
@robust vapor I'm agreeing, I think. add a guaranteed minimum, shave a bit off the possible top maximum
split sequoia
all lies
amber gull
Anyone know when the community survey event will be announced?

@split sequoia what's the lie? We're saying they should change it from the current system 😋
nova sierra
3 batch, with no UNC or rare... shouldn't be possible, but it is
split sequoia
hahahaha
robust vapor
The problem is that the just give you 2 rolls of the listed possible outcomes for every batch, you can get garbage 6 times 😬 especially with this RNG..
nova sierra
combine 5 g2 into 1 g3 .. I could support that
split sequoia
that idea has circulated these channels for a long time

Eh. We're not the ones paying the bills.

@stray abyss no, I would guess not too. It seems that single mat type was to hard for alot of players to achieve.

I sure hope it wasn't the wining vote in that poll

It isnt the event people voted
Also come on,we only had 2 domination this month.It isnt that bad

Domination wouldn’t be so bad if they’d spice up the solo milestone rewards...
noble oar
It hasn't been as common before but this is a damn anticlimax. I was hoping for some nice event with cool rewards, perhaps even a sort of borg themed seperatist event where we could shoot borg cubes or so

True.. I just promote a few officers though that is getting harder as I need badges to upgrade any of mine
But I agree, the lack of a borg invasion is rather puzzling

Score points in this event by defeating Seperatist hostiles and bosses.
Only had an event store during Act of War and has otherwise only run without event store in the past.
Scopley won’t include the store for sure, based on that response
shrewd totem
Fractured empire and AoW is 2 different events
AoW is coming soon and probably will have event store(just my guess)
Will you be able to spend old tokens?Maybe but I dont think so
noble oar
You'd make me very happy if there was an event store that included badges/UC at a decent price
well I'd be even happier if the refinery scaled much closer to how the rss requirements scale as my op increases
abstract gate
16k borg points for 5 seconds of effort? 10/10 will do again
Next 3 month l9ng arc you run just make it wall to wall domination
carmine lily
@noble oar the refinery does scale. If it takes 3 weeks to get enough uncommon for one upgrade at lvl 20, it’ll take 3 weeks for one upgrade at 30 too
noble oar
Yeah no, the time it takes my ship to keep up with my op tier events is now massively longer than when I was 10 ops lower
now lvl'ing slowing down some as you tier up isn't bad per say but the rate is a tad silly
at the current rate I'm going I'll need probably another moment month of refining with some luck to get the final UC's to tier up my saladin, another month to gain the UC to up my SY to speak nothing of finally getting my kvort to a useful tier
abstract gate
At lvl 38 my refinery is close to useless, 95% of the uc's and rares I need to progress come from events
shrewd totem
Refinery isnt that bad
abstract gate
When buildings and research need 200+ uc's to upgrade and refinery gives 7 on a good day it's frustrating af tbh
shrewd totem
I can usually get around 200-250 unc per week per material,but I am super lucky so 🤷♂️
abstract gate
Last couple of days it's been extra bad...no uc's across the board on some refines and a max of 14 (no rares at all)
hazy warren
Have you been doing 3 batches?
abstract gate
Double batches (3 with primes)
hazy warren
I haven't done the prime refinery research yet but it lets me do 3
abstract gate
A really good week nets me around 200 uc's per material a bad week can be as little as 50 per
hazy warren
I sometimes get as much as 14 per refine
abstract gate
Primes give an extra refine to each option...so 1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 3 and 3 is 4
shrewd totem
A really bad week can be 0 as well
I usually get around 14-23 unc per day for each mat
abstract gate
Haven't had a 0 week since they tweaked it...yet
shrewd totem
Max for me was 4 days so far
abstract gate
Pre release here...I've had weeks of 0...literally
shrewd totem
Yep it got improved a lot,but not the best yet
abstract gate
It has definitely improved but I don't think it's where it needs to be
Most players expect too much but that's only because scopely gives so little....still some way to go before a middle ground is reached imo
Sitting on a billion parsteel (warehouse, not even tokens) waiting on 1600 uc crystal to upgrade sy was a nightmare
hazy warren
Had the survey event started yet?
abstract gate
Lvl 38 shipyard however was laughably easy at 200 rare (swarm events are awesome you guys, lvl your franklins ffs)
shrewd totem
Rares are much easier than unc
abstract gate
If you do events yes
Still too few events with uc crystal rewards imo
Hell swarms give rare crystal but not uc, what's up with that?
Interceptors, surveys, battleships, a lot of research and several buildings all need crystal. It's the most in demand material yet least obtainable
Oh and when there is an event with uc crystal rewards it's a p2w leaderboard that excludes huge portions of the server.
shrewd totem
Well the borg probe leaderboards werent P2W
And they gave nice amount of unc cry,trit

I have over 100 rare of each material

No need to post them all

Wait for it screenshots of his are to follow. They mirror the type of rewards EXACTLY except wherever there is gas in mine it is missing in his.
He paid for these so is understandably curious to know if there is supposed to be gas because it appears that it is
barren night
That is prolly because of his ops level as John explained
Rewards tier differently per ops level
shrewd totem
Ah nope
jaunty sonnet
No it’s a screw up. You don’t mirror everything like that so much but then miss out an entire resource type. It is inconsistent but I will as Scopely since the easy answer is to just say it’s different rewards than to just ask the questions
shrewd totem
He should get 2g gas

@shrewd totem what should I do? I got him to screenshot the rewards he received at the tier 8 marker to prove he wasn’t getting the gas

Not really caring too much for these replicator type events. And of course the officers LB bracket is still whacked. Number one is a 44 I’m 28. Really?
The Payout on material is not worth what you need to pay in to finish. Like going dropping $500.00 into a Key game to win the $20.00 watch
solid badger
Oh i need the Unc Cr badly. Sad part is ma y of my research that I have to do need it. So exchange rate is no good. Now if they added a 0 the the amounts of unc CR at each milestone then Yes it would be worth it. Like 10/10/20/40. Be even better with 00. 100/100/200/400
Then it wouldnt take months with the refinery to upgrade one or two parts on a ship
And right now EVERY ship i need to be upgrading takes CR in it.
robust vapor
How is it any worse than needing to complete a mystery amount if research in the old event though?
You're still doing the same research, and with the exception of maybe level 1 research a lot of us are needing to do less research to complete..
robust vapor
You know what points you'll get now without looking it up? 😂
split sequoia
so could've completed the event with just 1
but as you said , now u can calculate how much needed to finish
makes the first tier of any research irrelevant now
coz they cost the least
robust vapor
I did say that 1 exception ☝️
But otherwise you'd be churning out research for a pittance of points.. was fine at low levels, but as you progress it didn't keep pace
split sequoia
pro's and cons
to me it feels like they wanna push ppl to get research up to speed to equiv ops lvl
robust vapor
What sense does it make for the cheapest and quickest research to give the most points anyway? 😋
robust vapor
Nah, it was rubbish before if you weren't doing level 1 research or at a low level. The power increases were a mystery without turning to Scopely, and often gave so little that it was a joke and you'd end up throwing a half dozen at an event in frustration 🙄
split sequoia
it got figured out afterall
thats why some of my researches were never started
even lvl 1
robust vapor
Power gain didn't increase inline with the higher requirements in the milestone or cost and time required to complete.. was a joke event 😅
dapper drum
yep save all the level 1s for the limited leaderboard that gave trit
robust vapor
Leaderboard events 🙄 whale playground
dapper drum
I've won quite a few and didnt' have to spend anything other than commons and rss
solid badger
if you have 2 days left on a research going not effective to do this one. If no research going you would have to spend 12 rare or 111 unc or 1.11 mil dilly or of course a combination. WHich yes possibly one research would finish it if you had the one needing the correct combination of those 3. But the return really not good for the actual cost. ALso if most of your research requires Cr then your just digging a hole instead of adding to it.
robust vapor
Must have saved up a lot 😬 I could maybe win an officer leaderboard, but even 25m XP won't promise top 5😑
robust vapor
@solid badger if you sped up a research though, wouldn't you just start another one anyway?.. like what's the difference? Or would you finish the research and then do nothing for 2 days? 😅
Yeah, officers is getting harder.. I'm saving for double officer events mostly now 😴

my research queue is doing nothing...........
if only they could make it the same queue as building

Well I tend to need speedup for when I teir a ship. especially with the fact you STILL do not get alliance helps on those. Get them to build or repair but not teir it.
split sequoia
pretty sure by now someone from one of those chaotic servers would've posted it by now if it existed
robust vapor
@solid badger so if you had 2 days left on your research you would miss it anyway? I'm really not understanding your argument here..
solid badger
This chanel to to voice opinions on events. That is what I am doing. I feel the payout is not worth either the material needed to gain the rewards nor even speeding up a current research to do the event
robust vapor
So it's like most every event then 😂
This "rebate" event is a stark improvement to the old event imo, I'll defend it 🤷♂️
solid badger
It is good it takes the guess work out as in what is needed to finish. The payout is just poor.
robust vapor
They always are with these regular events, and the further you get the worse they get (cost increase outpace rewards). And you need to remember that that's a blue event, which are easier and lower payout.
split sequoia
if u change the thinking by a bit u will find it more acceptable
🤣
you were already gonna do researches/building/upgrade ship/spend uc's with no gain, but now if u do those timed with events u get some gain
😅
robust vapor
I still would get them easier and cheaper too 😅 but like most events, I wouldn't bother unless it was a double and I was wanting to spend the resources anyway..
split sequoia
yea well..............top alliances rewards
too many there...........
u prob stinking of alliance credits
robust vapor
@split sequoia I've enough, but I don't really spend them often 🤷♂️ bought a heap of officer tokens when I was like 2 away from Pike 😅 and bought some of these discounted 3 day Shields 😮 but I don't buy shields for everyday use so I've always had spare alliance credits.
I'm hoping that they add Borg to the regular officer chests, then I'll cash in some more credits 😅

tbh the only borg officer I want is 10of10.

I'll take all of them if it gets me 10 and 5 🥺
torn sinew
7/8/9 area great crew. I'd re-evaluate
weak copper
7/8/9 are surprisingly poor against lvl 29’s. Or maybe I just need to beef up my vidar more.
abstract gate
Using them on a t5 vidar no upgrades 550k vs 25s and scoring over 550 kills per hull and filling up the 80k cargo hold
Will try 29s after this alb is over
I'm lvl 38 with prime officers and most of my research etc is up to date
flat fog
Just tried 7 captain and 8 and 9 and it's horrible in 29 lol did like x4 less prob then my classic pike crew on a almost tier7 vidar (missing middle gun and engine)
floral trail
How do you buy Prime Officers? My only £99 research packs dont have any G4 in them?
I am Ops level 33
dapper drum
it should be there called prime officers
@abstract gate and why would you waste so much time on 25's
I get 80k on 29's and takes me 15 minutes
abstract gate
How strong is your vidar?
floral trail
@dapper drum sadly not there... no prime refining either
dapper drum
that doesn't make sense
scopely doesn't say no to money
have you had to reinstall game since introduction of galaxy tree?
if not might be time for a fresh install

Hm well pike definitely explains something haha. 24 shards to go!

For ALB lvl25s is still best. For your sanity not so much

Are they not 24hrs to early?

dapper drum
I voted for Data Mining
abstract gate
@dapper drum alliance lb mate. Any other time I'd be all over the 29s
It's pretty competitive in the top5 of ours so I can't get away with slack farming lol
We have lvl40's farming 25s with their 1.1mil vidars, it's insane...they over weighted the par rewards for once lol
winged tulip
I just wish there were events that rewarded doing something difficult rather than hours of mindless grinding
abstract gate
Idd, each run takes about 2hrs. Yesterday I got an extra coil from refine adding 2hrs to my misery...today I tiered up vidar and refined again...another bloody coil...
It's not fun or interesting it's just a long slog to the finish line....and there's not even a solo event to give some daily motivation to the grind.
winged tulip
imo they should have given extra points for the lvl of borg you kill, as well as using borg crew - that would have made the maths a bit more interesting than just grinding 25s
abstract gate
Indeed, although the last solo lb had that and 25s were still the most efficient way to score
Probe lb's need a rework imo...in their current formats they are just brutal grindathons. <@&509691205798592532> has this been raised with the dev team? It can't be their intention that everyone flocks to the same 4 systems to compete in these lb's
abstract gate
Quite sure that it is simply as intended.
Much like how it goes for Swarms, Separatists and what have you.
It's a terrible format
Swarms are at least spread out somewhat by player lvl (up to the lvl32 bottleneck)
If you have your own ideas on how to improve it, #💬-events-feedback would be the place to post such! ^^
Nanoprobes gathered...done. next question?
It wasn't a question, it was a suggestion. 🤔
Tomato, tomato
Not really.
While you're here though, how long will faction hunt run for and will there be an accompanying alb?
dusky gulch
You're actually wrong about 25s being the best to score, depending on how high your vidar is and if you have 7 of 10, a high power vidar can easily farm 29+ without taking damage by using 7 of 10s cap ability to kill probes before they fire.
If you don't have the power to kill 29s, go lower, it might be possible to kill higher than 29s as well but that can be hit or miss because if you do not proc 7 of 10s ability, your ship takes a bit of damage.
abstract gate
T5 550k ain't gonna cut it I'm guessing?
dusky gulch
I've no clue, i don't have 7 of 10 myself, i just figured it could and saw a big vidar doing it
abstract gate
Even if it works you're just exchanging one endless grind for another
dusky gulch
Yeah, but that's the game in a nutshell. Not a lot you can really do about that besides having a massive, giant, unit of a boss for you to throw your ship at to try to do more damage than other people.
abstract gate
I'm sorry I've been staring at your suggestion for 5 minutes now but I can't make heads or tales from it Dyspeptic.
dusky gulch
Then there's no grind i guess but kinda boring for most players. 🤷♂️
abstract gate
Base the lb's on inert nano probes instead of kills
I mean the faction hunt one.

Hey when are we getting the Borg frame for completing all three Borg arcs?
keen ledge
Sometime after Arc 3 concludes, we presume.
It isn't over yet, although most of us are finished.

Oh for some reason I thought they had said on the 15th and we're past that
So apparently I must have mixed a few things together in my brain shocking I know

You’re not alone. I thought the same
unreal osprey
29 of 30 milestones... no borg frame for me
hexed yarrow
Did you miss one in the earlier arcs or the last ark
Because if it's the last Arc I think you still have a day or two to finish up

Did they distribute the frame already?

I think only when the event ends

Originally, it said near the end of arc 3...now, after arc 3.

This is from January. Says "at the end", nothing about near the end..
Oh oh, I found a "near the end" in the original event notes. But the event notes have also said that Vi'Dar was unlocked through missions, so grain of salt with these 😂
robust vapor
Super hard 😋
teal jackal
Or a week.
robust vapor
I think mostly it's an issue of uncertainty. To me it's after the event, and I'm expecting it to be delayed too; low expectations 😂 but other people interpret the information differently and think that they're missing out or that something has been overlooked, or that someone has dropped the ball. People tend to get more agitated when they don't know what's going on or if what they thought was the facts aren't 🤷♂️ you'd probably find people more agreeable if Scopely were just clear, direct and upfront about many things, even when it doesn't actually fix or change anything.
kindred arch
Won't there be a filler week?
Next event won't start 2 days later i think
teal jackal
What's great is after the event is on Friday, pretty much after the work day in Scopelyville. This is a while new rewards system and (hopefully/maybe) an event store
I'm sure everything will go perfectly smoothly
But if it doesn't, I hope they have emergency crews standing by. 🤣
robust vapor
I hope I don't feel the crunch from the sudden drop in event rewards that I've gotten used to over 3 months 😂
woven belfry
I feel like I've been getting more mats/rss from rewards but also spending them more often. So probably won't feel a crunch per se but won't be upgrading as quickly
e.g. rushing to tier up a ship for a faction event

I'm keeping my expectations for premium rewards as: 1) Borg frame, 2) 5x each uncommon material.
I hope I'm not disappointed. 😄

You’re all going to feel so guilty for saying that when they give us an Enterprise each 🤣

If scraply prove me wrong then great. Past experience doesn't inspire confidence though
Besides if they handed out epics they could only do so for 34+ players...every lvl33 and down will be livid

You'll be lucky to get 1 epic BP 😂
abstract gate
Dream scenario: Bp for ship correspondent to your lvl
Normal scenario: box worth 110€ in store (of our choice)
Cheap-ish scenario: prizes similar to Crucible of War store
EA level scenario: 50 unc, 5 rare of each, bit of rss
Our expecations: some unc and rare crystal
Scopely idea: Borg avatar
hardy parcel
Our expectations: a slap in the face and 1 parsteel?
My take
Ideal scenario: epic g3 blueprints
Realistic: a few uncommon/rares and basic resources
Fantasy: Borg probe or cube
shadow parcel
Now you've given away scopelys plan of giving us the avatar as their mystery prize, they're going to change it to a 24 hour shield...

And dont forget the 99,99 pack for 100 extra epic borg tokens

@swift lotus we do not know. the surprise chest will prob be next week. They have never confirmed that we would be able to use the reg borg tokens accumulated for anything

A nice
That’s all that’s been confirmed
Who wouldn’t like a nice picture frame ?!
shrewd totem
Frame is for completing all milestones not the reward for Borg epic tokens
swift lotus
Well the epic tokens are spent on the paid event store
If you bought the packs then you would have spent them
They can’t give something free that paying players wouldn’t get
raw zenith
No.
The events gave epic borg tokens that are unused, which will be used for the surprise chest. The event store used Premium tokens
swift lotus
They may set up an exchange for the other tier tokens that we have about 250k of
Ah ok
shrewd totem
swift lotus
I dunno. It’s all a mystery
shrewd totem
swift lotus
I have 279

I might be joking but this will probably be braking point for me.
Game has gotten better, it still is fun to play, but dont rhink I have it in me for one more major disapointment. So, preparing for worst, hopin for best
abstract ice
I am just realizing how crappy the new SMS events are for research and ships. I know this is a month or two old, but unfortunately I hadn't run the math before. At lvl 32, for the heroic research one, I can spend 136 rare to get 4 rare, 1747 uncommon to get 32 common, or 12.2m dil to get 13.3m trit?!? Is my math right? Am I missing something?
winged tulip
I'm happy doing it for the trit, while i'm doing the research anyway - but yeah could be better. Mostly think the officer leaderboards are a bigger con at the moment - hc solo event gives one of each rare and some uc for ~350k officer XP, leaderboard gives 3-4 rare and people are spending 10m+ XP to win it!
floral trail
Not really @abstract ice they are pretty pointless to be honest
winged tulip
same with the ship upgrade leaderboards
abstract ice
Yeah, I used to have fun doing leaderboards sub 28, had a shot to get #1 or 2 and a great payoff, was exciting, but now it makes no sense for me at 32 to go up against 40's
floral trail
I have about 12 mil officer XP but cant level any officers due to lack of badges so winning one is pretty futile
winged tulip
Yep i've got one officer left i can spend XP on then i'm stuck too - till then saving each level for a hc officer event..
mental yoke
Having them at ops24 is pointless. 2 galaxy researches started during this research one and it doesn’t even get me near the first tier of rewards.
hardy parcel
So, place bets now.
Epic borg rewards this afternoon?

@shrewd totem yes, but problem is math behind it.
Even disregard the fact that officer xp are grindable, and tokens not so much.

Now, that same pack offers ability to finish 3.9 heroic events

I do agree the game is at point where events as they were needed reconstruction. And I do welcome it and think its change in good direction.
However this event in long run will be about 2.5 times harder (more expensive) to finish.
If rewards are 2.5X better (it seems they are for lvl40+) then its all good.
However history tells me different

@carmine lily do you have as of older events?

You need to buy the $20 pack (which is now out of store) to use them
slate plinth
@shrewd heron There are the other tokens that aren't for that tho
shrewd heron
The premium ones? There are premium ones and tier ones
shrewd heron
Yea those
Those will supposedly be used in like crates sometime in the upcoming week
slate plinth
I have the Premium Reward numbered tokens too
Oh ok yeah! Thats what I was wondering about. I'm pretty new
slate plinth
Thank you
peak cave
I believe those epic tokens are going to be tied into the final act in the Borg story arc
boreal gorge
Wasn't the third arc the final 1?
winged tulip
I'm guessing 3rd part we'll get dailies for killing borg
boreal gorge
Could be
winged tulip
4th part even >.<

Regular events with good rewards, I’m down

Find out after level 50

There it is... An officer SLB based on shards only. Who asked for this? I didn't.
novel hollow
Better than what we get
graceful shard
So how many epic borg reward tokens are possible I have 279 ?
keen ledge
That is the highest I've seen posted so far.
hardy parcel
Nope 279 was max.
keen ledge
I'm used to weird now.
I'm convinced someone is trying to break my OCD need to clear all indicators in games and have even numbers.

abstract gate
New officer leaderboard is full RNG, whoever gets lucky pull wins
And I never got a lucky with epic😩
mental yoke
I maxed all events for all 3 arcs. Ops24. I have 279 elite borg tokens. Don’t know if ops level mattered
teal jackal
@graceful shard I have the same. ASked the same question to my alliance because I completed all the milestones and its just an odd number. I guess it is divisible by 3 though.
mental yoke
Lol...well there is that
graceful shard
I’m with Jess on this. It hurts my OCD
abstract gate
Wanna take bets there will be an epic borg token pack? Probably at premium price point too.
@mental yoke lvl38 and 279 tokens so no it's not ops based...what you can get for them might well be though
potent temple
What are the borg points, epic borg points and the March borg points for???
viscid yoke
For finishing the arcs
tardy light
But what use are they?
robust vapor
Nothing. It's possible that they might maybe possibly give us a means to spend them later, but that's a big might maybe possibly..
End of the day they needed a mechanism to allow them to count points from a variety of events that all earned points through different means while controlling the progression. Awarding points is a good solution to that problem.
ashen wharf
epic borg token will be 140 per for 1 rng chest , then 1 epic borg token for $99.99, for a second chance
<sarcasm> but not really probably will be
delicate moth
The epic Borg points will be exchangable for rewards on Wednesday 👍
robust vapor
@delicate moth are you saying that the epic points are going to be redeemable, or do you mean the epic tokens?
robust vapor
People will get excited and think they're getting something that hasn't been promised, and one of the questions was about points and not reward tokens 😋
floral schooner
Where did the borg officers go? Weren't they supposed to stay? I can't recruit them anymore, neither with ultra , nor premium, nor standard tokens.
random coyote
279 or 259, what ever. As I know Scopply you will need 300 to get a chest or something else 😂
raw zenith
We don’t know when borg officers will return.
abstract gate
Road maps and calendars are anathema to scopely...they are operating under the assumption that an ignorant playerbase spends more
raw zenith
They will most likely return just don’t have an eta
abstract gate
Nope you have an nda
raw zenith
🤷♂️
shrewd totem
Us having NDA doesnt mean we know everything 🤔
abstract gate
It means you won't tell us even if you did know though
raw zenith
We can only share what we are allowed to
delicate moth
That's a fair point, well made 👏 🤣
weak copper
Panic did say the Borg officers would be added to the usual chests once the Borg arc was over.
So “soon”

floral schooner
Panic did say the Borg officers would be added to the usual chests once the Borg arc was over.
@weak copper So after the big finale, right?
weak copper
No idea @floral schooner
abstract gate
Aye and given scopely's repeated refusal to release any meaningful information in a timely manner it means you can only tell us stuff 5mins after we find out for ourselves via an ingame news bulletin
shrewd totem
Ask from Panic when he is around @floral schooner
floral schooner
Will do.
weak copper
On a related note, we’ve gotten to a point now where Officer chests need to be more segmented. Too many officers in the Ultra chests are really diluting the odds of getting shards for them.
abstract gate
@weak copper I’m sure that’s “working as intended” 😂

Any1 know when next data event is?
sharp acorn
never hopefully
vestal wedge
any idea what next event will be?

Wondering the same

Data mining. 👆
From Monday til July
barren veldt
Is it really data...?
robust vapor
No one knows the upcoming event schedule, Scopely don't make it public @barren veldt

Thanks

All you need to know is "coming soon"

dapper drum
is it data or data which one are we talking about?
crisp jasper
Well, now we know the next three days. 3 more days of faction hunt. Threat from beyond tommorrow and lat rush on monday.
nova sierra
3 more days? how very creative
crisp jasper
Some variety here might have been nice, but 3 days of officer tokens, faction credits and officer XP is never bad
nova sierra
my opinion... should never have more than 2 days in a row of a single activity
spare perch
Fragment Pack's ... well .. but not a military event ... crap
crisp jasper
2 days is the perfect length for an event. 1 day is too short (unless it's a bad event) and 3 days feels stale. But if we are getting 3 days of something, the rewards are very nice
lapis skiff
More faction credits = new ship quicker. I don't mind this at all.
crisp jasper
Yeah - the rewards are good for everyone
nova sierra
rewards are fine, but have us do something different to get them
verbal frost
yeah amazing. 6 uncommons. i can now finally upgrade my brel . i only need 2994 more lol
nova sierra
lol
lapis skiff
@crisp jasper Bite your tongue!
nova sierra
separatists have separated themselves from the game?
verbal frost
they could have given us fractured empire
crisp jasper
For me it's 17x3=51 uncommons. That's not a major influx, but uncommons are not the main reward
verbal frost
rewards are way better
crisp jasper
I do wonder when we'll see those separatists again
lapis skiff
They could have given us data mining too...I'll take this 😄
verbal frost
or raid event
nova sierra
mining bad, data mining badder
verbal frost
i mean i get a lot of people voted for faction hunt but comon
5 days of it is toooo much
crisp jasper
I'll complain after I've cashed in all these recruit tokens 🙂
And this officer XP... Still much needed, and if you save it for the officer events that translates to a LOT of resources
verbal frost
cant do anything with xp without badges hehe
crisp jasper
Oh man - if we could get badge rewards for something....
verbal frost
yeap im at that point were without dropping 110 euros u cant get badges
so i guess ill upgrade the officers next year when i reach the next faction chest
crisp jasper
I'll pencil it in on your calendar!
verbal frost
hahahah
crisp jasper
That'll be about the time I get the rest of the 8000 independenct credits I need for khan
lapis skiff
Maybe we'll be able to buy badges with the borg tokens...
Or inde credits...those are painfull
abstract gate
Scopley has the imagination of a dead guy
verbal frost
@abstract gate u have to get an imagination pack for that 😎
robust vapor
They're starting to change officer events to shards of instead of XP on some servers FYI, so not having officers to spend the XP on may not be an issue 👍
abstract gate
Seriously gtfo with military supremacy event 5 times now...f off
crisp jasper
I wish I could get a military supremacy
shrewd totem
I dont have a military supremacy 👀
lapis skiff
nor do I
abstract gate
Another 500 lvl40 hostiles...with 💩 spawn rates and everyone and their dog doing faction hunt in wolf to boot...
robust vapor
I have it.. the rewards are ok, but for the work involved 🙄
lapis skiff
Opps, I have it now too.
abstract gate
And only a 3day timer this time too...tf?
Double the milestones but let 39s give 1 point for the love of god...stupid bloody hamster wheel of an event
I don't mind killing 3000+ hostiles for an event but when 2500 of those are pointless (literally) it's just bloody tedium
It's bs like this that closed my wallet
winged tulip
Same. Zero BPs i need from faction kills, every single system that spawns lvl40s has people farming them and ignoring the rest. Don't mind the repair bill, hate the sheer tedium of it.
also doesn't help when i'm sat on a spawn point in a lvl39 system, and it seems like a 10:2:1 ratio of 38/39/40 spawns.
abstract gate
Any system other than wolf with non veteran 40s and relocatable planets?
trim hemlock
So all I have is military supremacy that wants me to build Franklin. But no way to get the blueprints?
flint osprey
it goes on sale tomorrow @trim hemlock
shrewd totem
20$ for 50bps
trim hemlock
Yeah I see its on sale. Thats the only way to get it?
formal chasm
I’ve just come back to the game after some time out. Is there any way to take part in the Borg events (get Borg keys, etc.) at this point, or have I missed the boat? TIA
flint osprey
Missed the boat
for both the franklin and Vidar
you can wait forever and maybe get an event that gives you the bps, u can ask and they will say idk when the next event that gives bps will be
formal chasm
Ok, thanks for the feedback. Thought it would be the case but wanted to ask anyway.
abstract gate
Anyone know a lvl39 system other than wolf with non veteran ships that you can move base to?
