dapper drum
you can get some 39's in Mempa for klingon
I hunt wolf/terminurus/mempa with pike/moreau/chen
in terminurus I hit only the traders
abstract gate
Only 40s give me points for military supremacy
dapper drum
ouch well then gyahan
or that place by kronos
dil/3g crystal
they are normal traders there
and explorers
also should be glad you even have military supremacy
I lost mine once I got triple faction
abstract gate
Oooh near3st baseable system?
merry fulcrum
Military Supremacy 👀
abstract gate
I'm trip faction too...not sure what the criteria are for ms event
dapper drum
I'm 32 with only lvl 28 ships
flint osprey
I believe you need to be able to build a faction ship that u don't have
dapper drum
I can build any of the lvl 32 ships
flint osprey
so lvl 32 with 28 ships and assossiate
dapper drum
but waste of creds
flint osprey
Yeah but u don't have the ship so ms event for u
dapper drum
nope no MS for me
merry fulcrum
Same here, 32s aren't with it
dapper drum
I'm respected in all 3
I had MS until I hit triple faction
well until I hit all 3 respected
fed/rom were respected in last one and klingon was associate
but I had the bortas already
maybe being a lvl 32 with 9m power is the problem
novel hollow
I Miss MS 😢
abstract gate
I'm triple respected too still getting it except it only wants me to build an epic or kill 500 lvl40
dapper drum
what level
abstract gate
38
dapper drum
thats why
last one wanted me to build the rares
haven't changed ops level for 4 months
abstract gate
Closest system to ursva I can relocate to?
dapper drum
I think morska
abstract gate
Always full..damm great system but a helluva warp
dapper drum
Godui will be quickest off enthra if you can't get enthra
abstract gate
Enthra is pretty empty that'll be my best bet then...that or a lat system off pekka (crappy d'vor no range lol)
ashen briar
anyone know when the big bad borg finale kicks off... I've got a lvl 28 ops ready to collect and don't want to be stuck on the bottom of an impossible to complete event ladder...
icy panther
@dapper drum you lost military Supremacy when you got three faction locked?
I’m triple locked and I have it
dapper drum
it was sitting to the far right
icy panther
👍
dapper drum
I just saw the ship xp and base event then the faction hunts
its because they moved the 6/12 hours events around I didn't bother to scroll
well guess I can't be lazy on the faction hunt and goto 38 systems I need 39's
oh wait what...
its lvl 38 now
sigh nm damn pink kush
it was always level 38's, its the 37's I can't get lazy and farm now
amber gull
Faction hunt again, no complaint 🙂 thanks
sturdy ruin
same. Hate mining events
unreal osprey
same here, for me 1 of the best events 😄
torpid light
Anyone why some players get military supremacy event and others do not?
torpid light
For my sins, yes
novel hollow
Mil Sup is tied to Faction Rep and if you have Ships for your faction level at least up to level 32.
Miss The Arsenal no matter how disfunctinal they've been... Could go for an Aubi backflip anytime
torpid light
Thanks, yes miss the games.
The event is weird, I am Ops28, Alliance with 2 factions, and have 2 faction ships at 875/825k. Maybe I need the stars to align.
novel hollow
If you only had one faction ship you'd get it having both your faction ships DQs you (and me)
I got at 26 cause i wouldn't build the MF
torpid light
Ah ok, that may explain why I had it the once before. Thanks for explaining.
novel hollow
welcome!
deep hare
I am ops 20, consort with rom/kling, no faction ships and I have military supremacy
granite zenith
yes... and building what ship?
abstract gate
Franklin probably...ms seems to attempt to force you to pay to make it go away
granite zenith
or infact the under 26 players are asked for the northstar or franklin... since its the only specialty ships at that level
deep hare
I do not have Franklin or northstar so that must be why I get the event
granite zenith
bingo
waxen vault
Why do they even offer military supremacy if there’s no way to get the ships to build?
sudden hull
Does anyone know if the In game Scopley STFC events are previewed anywhere like here, showing rewards that are upcoming, etc, before they are launched in game?
keen ledge
@sudden hull - unfortunately, no. There is no event / rewards calendar.
pale cobalt
There are some events that are fixed or at least for the time being that may change with the new Borg systems and events but Sunday is always Threat from beyond aka Swarm Sunday and Monday is always Latinium Miner aka Ferengi Monday
robust vapor
Except for those couple of times that they were cancelled 🤫
low vapor
Can any1 confirm or not if the ship xp event and officer xp event has been shafted for these new 1s where u gotta spend ress ir earn shards?
abstract gate
Confirmed, scopely is fed up with f2p and wants us all to gtfo
low vapor
Honestly would not surprise me it seems everything is being pushed toward p2w
hidden scarab
Hello. Is it normal that some do not have the "military supremacy" event, others have it once and others twice?
raw zenith
We do not know if the new ship and officer events are permanent. It could be they are trying out different format to see how people like it.
robust vapor
I'm not a fan of the officer one, but it's still entirely doable for F2P to do the milestone events, just instead of saving up your XP and officers needing leveling you save up the tokens 🤷♂️ also means people don't have to worry about running out of officers to level up 😬
fast mirage
@gaunt yacht @twilit imp When will the Final Showdown be starting? Can't wait to trade in all the points I've gathered.
robust vapor
@fast mirage there's been no promises made on the points, just a comment that he'll look into it. Only the epic rewards tokens are promised for redemption for a mystery reward, apparently on "Wednesday" according to one of the mods.
ornate hinge
@twilit imp Why there is no military supremacy for level 31?
levels below and above have it but we doesn't
robust vapor
@ornate hinge that's incorrect. There are players at other levels without it also. Criteria for event is not known and Scopely have not shared the criteria after months of people asking.
ornate hinge
I think I had that event once but no more at all OK thanks anyway
robust vapor
I didn't get it for ages, now 4 times in a row. There are theories, but no definite answer as to why some do and don't get it.
polar temple
The event is based on your faction. And the ships you have. If you already have the last faction ship available for being let’s say RESPECTED. Then you won’t have Military Supremacy
If you had a second or third faction that you were working on. It will give you that event.
shrewd totem
Only works for some
flat fog
I didn't get the supremacy this time, and I dont have saladin or gladuis and I can actually get them in the shop lol
fast mirage
@robust vapor Collecting points that have no practical use is counter intuitive.
I understand that Scopely is profit driven
However, doing stupid things for the sake of profit is nonetheless stupid
Some even paid for the points
Just saying
robust vapor
@fast mirage there needs to be a mechanism for counting points earned across a variety of events, each with their own unique scoring system. Having points allows them to both easily track points and control tempo.
And buying points was for people that wanted early access to content and/or were unable to put the time into earning the points through the events.
fast mirage
@robust vapor The main point is still money.
robust vapor
@fast mirage there was only 2 reasons to buy points, and none of my points have been refuted so I don't see the point of your statement 🤷♂️
fast mirage
As a player that pays money (you can laugh at my stupidity for spending money for useless points, I don't really care), I just want to give suggestion. Dev team can take it or leave it, my voice doesn't matter anyways, judging from your reply to my points earlier. If you want to keep your player in your games, you just have to let them speak. I share your concern that some people may not really understand what is happening behind the scene, and typing long arguments over Discord is really annoying (probably that's why I've said what I've said). People vote with their money, and many good games have been screwed over because of stupid corporate decision (aka for the sake of profit).
Yes, I agree with the mechanics
There needs to be a mechanism for counting points, so that people can track their progress.
That's the technical aspect.
However, based on my experience in this game which lasted more than a year, Scopely can (and I think they should) be better than this.
Give player reasons why they should stay in this game, not just grab money and deter their suggestions with some techno mumbo-jumbo.
I'm fine if you think that I am some spoilt brad that only thinks about himself. Heck, everyone is for themselves eventually. Humans are selfish by nature and need education to be good, me included.
Well, tldr I guess. Have a nice day.
robust vapor
It's something that they are considering @fast mirage by the comments made from panic in the last Q&A, but it has never been promised, stated or implied. I won't be upset if it happens, but until it's stated or happens I would say keep your expectations at suitable levels. Similarly I am pointing out the facts so that people don't get expectations up only to be later dashed.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst 🖖
fast mirage
Indeed, agreed with you.
🖖 I really hope that they would listen
But, like what you've said, hope for the best, prepare for the worst
Peace
tepid isle
Please can you guys run a Fractured Empire event?
hardy rose
i think seperatist events should only be for servers that are quite a bit older. since separatists are very strong hostiles
and seeing how there's a lot of new(er) servers, it would be hard
or split events, and give us other stuff
robust vapor
@hardy rose the separatists start with level 17 hostiles, like 25k strength.
ornate hinge
If you had a second or third faction that you were working on. It will give you that event.
@polar temple Not true I'm buying Intrepid BPs, but do not have it
south falcon
If someone moves alliances mid event can they still contribute to the new alliance?
signal halo
No
shrewd totem
If they didnt score any points in event while being old alliance,they can I think
south falcon
Ok. That’s tough for a 3 day event.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I knew that was the case for shorter events, wasn’t sure for a 3 day event.
sturdy plover
Can anyone tell me what active nanoprobes are used for?
sonic belfry
@shrewd totem - I changed alliances yesterday about 2 hours after reset, I had not scored any points for faction hunt. I do not show up on the new alliance’s leaderboard
@sturdy plover - active nanoprobes are needed to level up and/or promote your Borg officers. They are the Borg equivalent to faction credits
abstract gate
@sonic belfry no, Borg officers also require independent credits. You’re correct on what they’re used for though!
shrewd totem
Me and others changed alliance yesterday after reset.I scored points in old alliance,others didnt.I dont show up in new alliance event but they do 🤔
Did you score any points after joining new alliance?
sonic belfry
Yes, I finished faction hunt on all three factions yesterday AFTER joining a new alliance
shrewd totem
Weird
sonic belfry
My apologies, @abstract gate - please answer Thanar’s question
abstract gate
No you’re correct in their use 😊just for the minor distinction that they aren’t equivalent to faction credits since they need those too
dapper drum
you have to look 5 minutes in advance to decide if you want to give up a current ALB of rewards to be able to participate in next ALB in another alliance
or those odd times there are no ALB going on you can decide
otherwise just leave it be or take the loss 🤷🏽♂️
sonic belfry
That is frustrating, @dapper drum - I can never see events early, and the new alliance lb starts at the same moment the old completes. There is no way to plan ahead.
abstract gate
Sometimes I jump when event is nearly finished, once our position is secured. Of course only if rewards are crap
sonic belfry
ESPECIALLY WITH 3 day events
dapper drum
you have to restart app at 5 minutes left
then scroll beyond current events and it shows
abstract gate
@sonic belfry I get the notice if I restart 5 minutes before the start of a new event
As Prince typed faster than I did 😂
sonic belfry
I’ve done that multiple times as well as clearing cache - never shows up
sonic belfry
Yep
abstract gate
That sucks
sonic belfry
Most of the people I’ve spoken to on my server have the same experience
dapper drum
man dunno wth that was that came out of my input box 😂
abstract gate
I must ask by the way: is 026 your server number or are you proud to be living in Arnhem, NL?
sonic belfry
Server number

Aby information about end Borg event ?
flat fog
Faction hunt + swarms, this game take more time then a real life job...
unreal osprey
fine for me @flat fog i need trit (swarms) and all the rewards of faction hunt 😄
i dont have any problem to play 1 or 2 more hours 😄
flat fog
Take me forever to do swarms without Franklin can only do 14 level 32 at once, that more then a couple hours for all of those... the rewards are nice, but damn
unreal osprey
i need do level 26, but i cant do with the franklin (so low in power)
noble walrus
I hit more than the required number of ships needed for extra parts so that I can upgrade the Franklin further bc it takes so many I have been hitting level 20's for my level 15's required ammount. It still is a grind but I don't worry aboutthe other required ammounts if I am unable to hit them and be successful
sturdy plover
Thanks for your help guys👍😊
cobalt beacon
Anyone on a server that just had an “earn a D’vor” event?
I’m on a new server and wondering how long we have to wait to get one without Buying it.
warped stag
No, the D’Vor is either for purchase only or collect the 10 bps per 30 loyalty chests.
earnest citrus
Yeah, you could earn one for free in a year if you consistently do the 30 day chest
lusty jetty
why can't i join any of the faction hunt events?
same with klingon rep event. already reloaded
earnest citrus
I was able to join it after clicking join now then restarting client
lusty jetty
fixed it. had to reset cache then reload 2 more times
warped stag
Restart the app and you will have joined it properly.
sudden hull
Thank you @keen ledge for the feedback.
Its too bad there there is no advanced calendar of events, so people can prepare and show up to do them in a united way.
The game and its leaders are doing a fine job of running the game. But since this information is lacking, our server has many teams (an evergrowing number) now creating our own regularly scheduled events, including rewards and leaderboards. And the great part of that is, the fun is all free to everyone. So that will likely expand to fill the void just fine.
But if anyone ever does come up with a legitimate calendar of in-game events, please let me know. Thanks!

<@&509691205798592532> the event score is not updating and also the daily’s score not updating event though I am killing hostiles
Anyone else have this issue
earnest citrus
Yes mate, see #🌌-galaxy-chat, it's already been reported
elfin meteor
<@&509691205798592532> are they going to compensate for the issue with the faction hunt event for the apac servers?
slim jasper
<@&509691205798592532> its 10.10pm in Australia. Many have lost the time window to finish the event and dailies. I hope you'll do the right thing and provide full compensation.for the event. We can't do the event if we don't know when we're done with each faction etc.
vague narwhal
<@&509691205798592532> when is someone going to explain the "logic" behind only certain people getting military supremacy. There's no good reason to limit an event like that
junior crest
I earned the dvor through a combination of event store and 30 day chests
Took about 7 months
abstract gate
If you didn't get military supremacy be glad, it's a crappy event. Pure extortion "commit to 3 days of mindless hunting for 500 40s or pay to finish instantly "
raw zenith
yea i got it once and was like nope. not gonna do it
robust vapor
I don't care enough to bother, not enough 40 regulars and too many people 😴
weak copper
Depending on what level hostile you need to kill, it’s not a bad event. Rewards are usually quite good if you have the time or inclination to finish it. Having said that I haven’t had it for a while now so maybe that’s changed.
robust vapor
Have to kill level 40 here. So you're competing with a bunch of other people in like 3 systems, unless you can farm veterans 😅
weak copper
When I was getting it, I had to kill lvl 39s which weren’t an issue for me, just time consuming. I assume if I was getting it now, it would be 40’s as well, so glad I don’t have it.
floral trail
I have military Suprem, and have to kill 38s... I am killing them anyway to lock my factions though you need to do so many I wont finish it. I might hit the second milestone but either way I am not going to spend to finish it instantly as, to build a Brel I would need to spend £400 which, on a mobile game is complete madness
robust vapor
38's are easy. You get more systems to choose from and can hit 39 and 40 if they haven't spawned. Part of the complaints with 40 is that you end up killing heaps of 38 and 39 to get them to spawn (and then someone else is hunting the 40 too! 😅). People do it, don't get me wrong, but they made it as PITA as possible..
floral trail
Yeah I guess so, I can't hit veterans but if I am in somewhere like wolf I can take out 39s and 39s without needing to farm the lower level hostiles.
robust vapor
Yep. It works well if you can pair up with someone hitting the other, until a bunch of others turn up 😂
abstract gate
500 lvl40's is around 3 hulls for my saladin in wolf...that's np, the 3000 literally pointless 38/39s I have to sweep to make those 40s appear is our issue...I think most of us would be happy if they increased the top milestone to 2000 but made 39s give 1pt
fresh bramble
I am using my Brel with Pike. It is tier 5. I go to several different systems to hit the level 40 transports.
abstract gate
Hopefully I'll have an auger before the next one pops and it'll pass me by
fresh bramble
I know it’s a grind but I can always use all the uncommons that it gives.
abstract gate
Nobody's sure of the exact criteria for getting military supremacy but lvl, rep status and absence of appropriate faction ships are definitely factors
Oh and if you think a £400 price tag for insta complete is steep ours wants us to build an epic which is up to £1000 lol
dapper drum
i hope the 49s have to kill 55s or build an epic g4 😆
vague narwhal
That's exactly my point some people got it loads of times and others once or not at all.
The difficulty isn't the issues either at least you have the choice to do it or not
abstract gate
At lvl38 140mil par and over 100 uc's kinda takes the feeling of choice away...they've weighted the rewards perfectly to make us feel forced to get it done either through cash or sheer bloody minded drudgery
And like I said 500 lvl40's isn't difficult in itself but the 🐶 💩 respawn that causes us to kill an additional 3000 pointless hostiles to get there is. We love the event for its rewards all we are asking is either improve the spawn rate of non veteran 40s or adjust the event to score 39s too (raising the milestones is fine by us)
Grinding 38s is quite doable. In wolf everyone is rushing for the 40s so they’re happy to see me show up and pew pew some 38s
Yeah seeing a lvl33 player turn up is always a relief.
You’re very welcome! Haha
merry fulcrum
So.... When are we gonna be redeeming these epic borg points?
2 days left until that deadline
earnest citrus
We've been told on Wednesday
floral trail
Soon(TM)
modern estuary
seems to be no real events for low level players here is what a lvl 14 player has for events
merry fulcrum
Sounds like fun
I think the majority of events are level 18+ now
I remember last faction hunt, the people under level 18 got a act of war event instead
modern estuary
they coud at least gave them a mining event
prisma geode
He’s has mining event
modern estuary
or a kill some hostiles event lol
carmine lily
So all daily events are buy packs to score now? That’s the new normal? So now you’re going to make us think our officer and ship do is worthless so we spend it all and then you hit us with a big surprise spend xp event right? That seems to be the scopely way. This game is circling the drain fast. Never mind the world is on the brink of a massive depression, let’s milk people for all they’ve got while the getting’s good. Capitalism sucks.
modern estuary
no only alliance leader board no solo mining event
prisma geode
Daily events have almost always been officer, research, station
Or limited time events as well
Officer upgrade is easy as it coincides with the faction hunt and all the officer XP you get from it
modern estuary
yeah but lvl 14s dont have faction hunt events so they cannot really do the officer one either
prisma geode
Some people save officer XP for these events. Just saying
abstract gate
@prisma geode you haven't heard? They changed it from xp spent to shards pulled...pure p2w now
carmine lily
@prisma geode that’s the problem, the events don’t use xp anymore, it’s all spend uc/rare or buy officer recruits
abstract gate
Completely unsustainable for f2p now
Lb is a total waste of recruit tokens, unless you get multiple epic unlocks on a 4k ultra pull you can forget a top 10 rank
long torrent
Some servers still have the old style, no idea the reason to give different servers different versions
modern estuary
yeah its pay 2 win for my officer events so gues i wont be doing those
prisma geode
Mines the same
modern estuary
i think scopely dont realise many people are out of work cos of covid-19 here in ireland there are over 1million getting welfare now because they lost jobs due to lockdown
carmine lily
Probably has to do with the income of the servers, higher paying servers get fleeced more
prisma geode
Could have something to do with the age of the servers as well
carmine lily
@modern estuary oh they fully realize. They are trying to get as much money as they can to pad their offshore accounts before it all dries up
modern estuary
lol id say its already dried up
prisma geode
An uncommon shard only gives me officer XP and the occasional transport pattern
modern estuary
peoples options pay rent/morgage with my crappy welfare payment or buy an over priced pack
i am fortunate i can work from home but many of my friends aint so lucky
prisma geode
☝️
modern estuary
im not saying they should have faction hunt but they should get some sort of event they got nothing
modern estuary
no they dont
they only have alliance leader board event for mining nothing for solo
prisma geode
The Latium rush event is on the left hand side of your SS.
modern estuary
yes its the alliance lb event
they wont get any rewards cos they wont be able to compete against the larger alliances
maybe give the lower levels a jelly event or something
prisma geode
Can’t the lower levels transfer servers now?
abstract gate
Leveling up is what a lowlevel should do, its way easier than before
prisma geode
Yes I agree leveling up for lower levels is much easier now
abstract gate
And you have no real risk with getting raided anymore till certain level
prisma geode
Plus all the content they drop on us now, they get it in a logical manner. Instead of level36-40 having to go to a level 12 system for a mission to kill a 30k power mission ship.
merry fulcrum
@abstract gate level 14s can kill the weak faction hostiles
Or if they have a jellyfish, they can kill up to like level 25s
abstract gate
Yea but with what should they get rewarded? Standard recruit tokens?
merry fulcrum
Same thing, but in smaller amount, and 2* instead of 3*
abstract gate
Then they complain about how unfair it is to kill 300hostiles
If they dont havw maxed their ships
merry fulcrum
They also have smaller milestones as well
That's how it always works
And at least they get the option to try to do it
abstract gate
But you cant give ultra token to lowlevel, they are meant as late game content
abstract gate
You mean it makes sense that I start with epic officers instead of cadet crew?
modern estuary
lvl 14s do get epic officer shards
merry fulcrum
^
modern estuary
not very often but they do get them
merry fulcrum
They aren't going to unlock them, because they still have to get ALL the shards for them, we're not talking about a 10 shard unlock
Very rarely will they get a full recruit for a epic officer
abstract gate
Usually you dont have an epic below 20
You maybe have a rare
Grey->green->blue->purple, we only get ultras cause most have maxed the green/whites already at a certain point
modern estuary
this is from a lvl 14 player he is getting epic shards
abstract gate
Yes but he shouldnt be able to unlock them
modern estuary
there is no limit to unlocking them
once you get all the shards you can unlock
i had epic kirk unlocked when i was lvl 16
abstract gate
Its a huge difference if you get 50shards every faction hunt event
merry fulcrum
And you aren't getting 50 shards
abstract gate
Yes you get more cause its usually 2days, if you use the credits in faction store you can get shards too
merry fulcrum
Can is the key word, however, remember it's all level based, i only got like 300 credits at level 20, so it'll be a lot less for them
slim jasper
<@&509691205798592532> so apac servers had issues and we couldn't finish the event. No Compensation and no communication. This is really poor form. Good to know now and just bail on this game. Terrible way to treat players.
keen ledge
@slim jasper - Unfortunately, the Mods have no say into compensation. We are just chat moderators here on Discord. I would recommend you submit a ticket to CS with your thoughts. And I do know a mod brought a recommendation to the team's attention - as I said, we have no input on it, though.
slim jasper
@keen ledge thank you will do
noble oar
Any final bets on what the borg event store will have :)?
hardy parcel
The borg frame. In gold, coral, blue and green 🤣🤣
sudden ledge
I mean look at the Borg frame, that was the reward for 3 months of ARCs?
I’ve never played a game where the devs have such blatant disregard towards their customers yet people keep throwing their wallets at them
obtuse otter
The real rewards were collected along the way. Borg frame is a silly bonus at the end.
noble oar
No kidding about the amount people spend....some people in my alliance have spent enough they'd have been able to (largely) pay of my mortgage and while I don't own a vila it isn't like I'm living in a straw hut either
I'm hoping the event store'll have borg officer shards, vidar BP (I have it but nice for newbies), UC's and probes
abstract gate
If the borg frame is the decelopers' way of telling us to stop playing the game, message received
merry fulcrum
@obtuse otter what about the borg epic points?
proud solar
Apac servers went wonky for a reason... They pushed something thru th backdoor, we'll just have to wait till tomorrow's drop... 🤔🍻🖖
vestal wedge
whats coming tomorrow?
prisma geode
They promised Borg event store by Wednesday. So we shall see
obtuse otter
@merry fulcrum Oh yeah. How could I forget? I'm sure that won't be underwhelming at all. 🙃
merry fulcrum
🤣 😂
modern estuary
so my lvl 14 guy has been mining all day since and none of it counts to the alliance lb event way to go scopely shafting the newbros
no wonder there is poor newbro retention
cosmic sage
level 12 can see the alliance leaderboards but doesn't have any solo event to go with them lol
modern estuary
same for lvl 14
and none of what they mine counts
its a pretty s h i tt y move from scopely to shaft the newbros
cosmic sage
well during the borg arc they got a hostile hunt event when faction hunt was running
modern estuary
yes they did prizes were awful lol
lol our lvl 14 has 10mil par and nothing to spend it on
i told him not to go 15 until he has max tiered all of this g2 ships otherwise he will be farmed in seconds
cosmic sage
that's not the greatest advice I didn't max the phindra or turas until well after 15
he should just keep on moving up and shield when he sleeps
modern estuary
of course it is get his ships to tier 7 max xp he will stand a far better chance at defending vs the lvl 18s that will be able to hit him
plus get his officers upgraded a few tiers
cosmic sage
except it will take a very long time for him to get enough uc to do that and generally makes the game very boring
modern estuary
he has his phindra at tier 6 already the other two are at tier 5 he is doing ok
cosmic sage
he should just level up and make sure he puts a tier into each ship when he does that
modern estuary
scopely need to offer the newbros a crack at the jelly event
cosmic sage
they do get a jelly event but it's not until ops 18 I think
they can get a jelly for free that way if they try for it
modern estuary
not true im seeing lvl 14s in jellys already
cosmic sage
they bought it
modern estuary
if you can build it your elligible for the event
cosmic sage
and there are people who sit at 14 for a very long time because they're scared to get raided
it can be built at ops 12 and I don't see an event on my lvl 12
modern estuary
its lvl 14 - 18
because scopely havent offered the event yet
they got no events that reward
that is pretty poor treatment from scopely
the mining event doesnt event count for them
its only alb and no sole
cosmic sage
not really. The jelly event is a solo event that lasts until you hit ops 19. by completing the daily events you get prints and eventually get enough to build it for free. Scopley wants to make money so if you want the jelly before that you have to buy it.
modern estuary
so why didnt they give them any event at all?
mining ALB doesnt count there is no solo event there is nothing for them
modern estuary
a daily officer event they cant get rewards cos they have nothing to drop epics or rares
if you want to retain newbros you gotta offer them something to work towards
cosmic sage
they can work on leveling up. it's not like they need 100 uc per upgrade
modern estuary
yes but that is no excuse for no events, we all have to level up thats just normal play
cosmic sage
yea but in the lower teens and below you can easily do a level a day
unless you use a ton of speedups high levels can easily take a month
modern estuary
thats not the point, they need something to aspire for they are still crippled by 1. lack of speed up 2. lack of lat and 3. lack of g2 uc to push upgrades
and their mining ships are g1 which are painfully slow at mining
cosmic sage
that's even easier then higher levels still
modern estuary
lol i have been helping my friend by mining in a fortunate and letting him kill it to get g2s faster
i spun up a second ac just so he can kill it
using the freind link
cosmic sage
It's not that bad though, 1,800 an hour and only need 3k for a small batch. double batch isn't economical for him yet.
modern estuary
he said single bacth is worse never gets uc double he does
cosmic sage
that's just rng.
when he goes up a few levels and gets his envoy he will have more uc g2 then he'll know what to do with
robust vapor
Yeah, you can get triple batches with only commons even 😴

<@&509691205798592532> Will we ever have Jellyfish/North Star blueprint events again

Nobody knows.
Northstar and jellyfish are occasionally available in the store. (NS is in mine right now)

What about the Franklin
dreamy root
I have 50 vidar bps, is there going to be a way for me to get the rest?
abstract gate
$$$
If you bothered to do all milestones in arc 2 and 3 you'd have 1.5 vidar by now
robust vapor
Not everyone was able to. It's possible that more options will become available, no one can say for certain either way. They may even include BP for it with the redemption for the epic rewards tokens 🤷♂️
dreamy root
Sorry i started mid arc 2 and i was trying to figure out the game
I got the missions unlocked but im not strong enough power to do them
@robust vapor ok thank you
noble oar
I can't imagine they wouldn't.... while you can do swarms without Franklin a vidar is a necessity
robust vapor
I don't understand a lot of what they do. Easier to just go with the flow and hope for the best 😬
gusty glen
@dreamy root I started arc 2 at level 15, so there were no blueprints as rewards for me despite completing the milestones (blueprints only went to Lv16 and above). I only have the 50 from arc 3 like you. When you reach lv25 I believe there are vi'dar blueprint packs in the store to purchase so that will probably be the only way (unless we can use the Epic Borg points to get some when the mystery rewards are revealed).
If you bothered to do all milestones in arc 2 and 3 you'd have 1.5 vidar by now
@abstract gate nope, completed them all and have 0.5 vi'dars right now 😭
hardy parcel
He's making an assumption.
He should have said if you were above the minimum level when the event started and you did all milestones then you would have 1.5 vidars.
Most servers are closed so we forget there are new players 🖖
tall trout
@twilit imp how come some of us (including me) in S27 didnt get the Military Might event?
obtuse otter
Nobody knows the requirements. Don't expect an answer
hardy parcel
@twilit imp again no military supremacy event. Totally unfair. 😞
abstract gate
Yeah because scopely is all about the fairness...if you're feeling hard done by just go raid someone 12 levels below you, you'll feel much better.
hardy parcel
How about we carry on complaining and maybe they will fix it?
Certainly doing nothing will change nothing.
abstract gate
They haven't done squat for those of us that keep getting told to kill 500 lvl40 hostiles in 3 days with only one viable system to do it in...but sure you go ahead, let me know how that goes for you (spoiler: not well)
prisma geode
There is more then 1 system below dark space to kill level 40 hostiles, there are multiple systems in each faction space.
@abstract gate don’t kill them then, but the rewards are awesome. Pike Moreau Chen for the win
I am level 39 I hit level 33-35 in fast spawning systems for faction event. Nowhere in the event does it say you have to hit level 40’s
weak copper
He’s talking about military supremacy. The screenshot you have above is for the faction hunt alliance leaderboard.
prisma geode
Server 13 doesn’t have military supremacy at the moment.
Either way in faction hunt if I chose to kill level 40’s it will still be about 270 to finish event. So my statement still stands
No different then swarm event
abstract gate
Dyspeptic wants to multitask faction hunt and supremacy I’d guess. For the latter only 40 and above count at his ops level
weak copper
And the issue people have with it is the number of lvl 38 / 39 hostiles you have to kill in order to get 500 lvl 40’s to spawn
abstract gate
Yup. I’m one of the lucky ones needing 38s. People actually like me for clearing the 38s in wolf!
prisma geode
Pike Moreau Chen go stack up the veteran level 40 ships
That’s what I do in those events, multiple systems with level 40 other then Wolf even in Fed space. My argument still stands.
My opinion he doesn’t like the event. Don’t do it then.
abstract gate
Your argument still stands, sure, but it didn’t add to the previous discussion since you were talking about a different event
prisma geode
Military supremacy is an easier event in my opinion
But they are all similar, just kill required red ship
frozen abyss
I finished Military Supremacy on Sunday
I'm up to 1420 points now between reversing Romulan reputation and doing faction hunt.
Mine only requires 38s, but if I was level 34, 40s would be easy enough.
fickle summit
You must have nothing better to do than stare at your phone and red click if that's the case. I've been killing 40s for 3 days and have gotten 1/4 thru military supremacy. Do yourself a favor and stay 33 forever.
abstract gate
@fickle summit finished it in first 20hrs (sleep is a thing)...it's an utterly soul destroying time sink
fickle summit
I wish they'd just choose one. Invest time, get awesome rewards. Invest money, get awesome rewards.
abstract gate
@frozen abyss 40s are technically easy yeah...aside from wolf being the only system non veteran 40s spawn in and they spawn at a rate of about 1 every 5 kills and there's 12 other players there chasing that 1 40 for the same event...but yeah other than that super easy
fickle summit
Instead, it's invest both and get meh.
abstract gate
The restricted spawn rates and heavy competition for them turns what should be 2hrs of grinding into 10-15hrs of hell
fickle summit
Yeah everyone on my server now is at the point where they're getting Pike
F2P
So it's madness trying to do supremacy on 40s
abstract gate
I've had it 5 times now and every time it's taken over 10hrs of gameplay to get those 500 "easy" kills
fickle summit
Pass
I have better things to do with my life
I think a return to console gaming is in my near future
I'll decide on Wednesday with the Borg store
raw zenith
what is happening Wednesday?
abstract gate
The rewards are perfectly weighted to make it almost impossible to just pass on too.
fickle summit
Borg store?
Either we are gonna get some decent rewards, or I'm gonna let an alliance mate have my RSS and make a polite exit
abstract gate
Yeah, waiting on that too...it could well be a breaking point for many of us
fickle summit
If it's Borg Officers and mats, I'm probably done
abstract gate
To be fair the milestone rewards in each arc have been pretty decent so there's hope the payoff could be good too
raw zenith
where was it posted that borg store was coming wednesday?
fickle summit
In our news feeds...
raw zenith
oh. the redeeming epic borg tokens.
abstract gate
Yeah that
Not holding my breath for a way to redeem the regular points any time soon
fickle summit
I'm not even looking forward to it. I'm basically spending down my base RSS and preparing to hibernate.
Check back every month or so to see if they fixed the game economics
I'm too invested to just disappear altogether, but I'm at a point where I refuse to spend anymore money.
abstract gate
I reached that point with the armada rollout lol
fickle summit
I was spending on Armadas actually
The one thing I kinda liked
And they ruined it for me when I went 34
Doubled the cost for pulls but didn't double the rewards.
Idk if it will get better anytime soon. You have players with Tribunes at T8 and stuff. Like, why would they ever reduce the costs
The 50 unlock probably earned them a billion more dollars at least, from then until now.
I'm sorry but, $100-500k for a cell phone game is just insanity
abstract gate
Remove the k and it's still k8nda excessive

This is the way this kind of game economy works, it's driven by big spenders, and it's nothing compared to some games out there that I won't state

Does there have to be?...honestly I could do with a couple of days off from tapping reds

Seperatist is fine...takes me 15secs plus warp time (assuming I'm not parked waiting)

@flat foglike what?

I dont think I can talk about other game on here 😅
But their are game out there with huge spenders and not talking about China market and black market Google/Apple cards
ashen wharf
Those other games have progression and way more levels they get much more for what they buy
And they dont have terrible leaderboards/ focus on whales only/ have garbage support/ only force you to see the maximum pack cost if youve been spending
abstract gate
I am all for five more days of faction hunt...
abstract gate
Yes @abstract gate please! Pike is so close!
dapper drum
pike is over rated, do it the hard way 1 ship at a time
you don't need 100 kills per hull
abstract gate
Hahaha. That’s gonna be tough getting rom faction positive again
@dapper drum doubling or even tripling my kills per hull is overrated? Maxed sally is 300k+ trit to repair and 6hrs+ (I have primes) taking the extreme end his benefit that's a saving of 700k trit and 12hrs of speed ups....overrated? Try essential
Best thing with him is seeing as he's crappy for pvp and his main pve selling point is his captain's manoeuvre once you have him you never need to put badges into promoting him.
dapper drum
went right over your head i see 😎
of course he is the most efficient way to kill reds
him with moreau never need to be tiered and always perform same
robust vapor
(he lives under a bridge or sometimes in caves smashing hobbits)
dapper drum
tier 1 moreau is same as tier 5 moreau when used with pike
same goes with pike
their weird synergy rules all bug
but if you have tier 5 moreau you can run other combos not having to have pike
like borg probes during an ALB
tier 4 moreau gets 70% the kills with 1of10 as of with pike
then klingon battleships tlaan or chen both can't do it alone
chen with tlaan and moreau
yum
romulan battleships oddly enough have weak energy at start so can get away using pike moreau and tlaan
goes to sit in a corner, too high to stop typing
leaden isle
Does anyone know the requirements to get the supremacy event. Several in my alliance did not get it.
floral trail
Pike is excellent for grinding reds, kind of essential imho. Now I wish Chen and Tlan were in the shakedown cruise group, or they were more shakedown officers
tawdry owl
@leaden isle I didn't have it until upgrading to Ops 32 yesterday. From what I understand, it's a combination of your Ops level and your faction rep and the ships you have/have not built yet. For example, I'm respected in both Fed/Kling but I obviously haven't built the Rare ships yet @ 32. Once I upgraded to 32, I got the event to build/tier up the Brel/Intrepid/Gladius.
floral trail
@leaden isle as far as I can tell you need to be level 32-33 and consort (or better) without a lvl 32 ship, or 34 and 35 with respected status for at least one faction and without a level 34 ship. I think @loud solar made a video on how to get it
leaden isle
Thanks
abstract gate
Faction hunt is done by lottery @leaden isle .. Last time I didnt had and this time I have, same level and same ships and close to same reputation
sage nova
BATTLE FOR GLORY UP
leaden isle
So it's another ploy to get people to spend money. Otherwise those who have ships could grind 500 ships for their measly amount of uncommons
sage nova
BFG DONE...
scenic cloud
Done....
abstract gate
Pfft I'll do it tomorrow morning with dailys.
tawdry owl
@leaden isle I was able to grind 375 L38/39 hostiles in less than 24 hours so it could be done, but to your point it takes a long time grinding.
my top tier reward was 1 rc, 34 uc, 22 ug, 9M trit tokens
so nothing to sneeze at
chilly venture
I would like BFG much more if they would align the gold trophy recruits with the Ultra recruit... No Moreau, no Decius, etc...
And while they are at it why not just give the Borg officers in the ultra recruit now that the borg arc is done ?
leaden isle
I finished 500 lvl 40+ in two days but I was working faction hunt and alliance event grinding as well @tawdry owl
winged tulip
Saving gold trophies for if/when they put the utility pack up again
leaden isle
Probably would not have bothered otherwise only find a few lvl 40 systems where they have not made the ships 2x strength and you have to chew through 100s of 38&39s to get them to spawn
nova valley
same
abstract gate
Amateur, I was done in 20hrs including sleep and being a parent (barely). It's a mindless grind but at 34+ the rewards are decent, 140mil par and over 100 uc's cry gas mix plus a handful of rares and more trit than the event costs. Over 3 days it's around 170 40s per day plus all the 38/39's to spawn them...doable but a slog
With any luck I'll have an epic before the next one pops and it'll pass me by
nova valley
lol i did mine. i was saying "same" to i'm saving my gold trophies for the next utility pack LMAO
neat plover
Anyone missing the Military supremacy event rewards?
frozen abyss
I got mine. They were milestone rewards as you completed each milestone.
neat plover
Ah, thought they were given at end of event thanks
leaden talon
Well here’s a nice anomaly.
Where do we even begin? Level 42 ships are in the 6m range.
sage nova
duh...
abstract gate
What was it previously?
leaden talon
The gap between 39-40-41 are so egregious that I don’t know how the balance was thought about. Level 39 hostile - some level 40s are 1.7m. 41 is 4m and 42 is 5m, 43 is 6m.
simple spear
They probably assume you have a 3-4 mil ship. Shouldn't that take down 5-6mil hostiles?
leaden isle
Someone has leveled ops past ship power. Ouch
merry fulcrum
I mean it's stupidly costly up there and you can't take the iss jellyfish past t2
At 39
leaden isle
Seen a new jelly 5 million power grinding lvl 55 traders at 25 million
merry fulcrum
That was definitely not a 39
leaden isle
He was a lvl 40
leaden talon
Ok, so in order to mine the material you need to get the upgrade to the ISS Jelly you need a tier 7 with warp capability to get to 65 at minimum. With Scotty you need a tier 7 upgrade along with a tier 7 warp upgrade. The cost is 4800 UC crystal to do that.
So while that’s going on you have no way to get the ISS Jelly higher than tier 2 as said earlier.
Without spending $2k.
I am not spending $2k on a tier.
leaden isle
He was a big spender
solemn sequoia
Anyway, the easiest way to get your jelly over t2 is to just scrap a mayflower
solemn sequoia
Get your jelly to warp 75 and you can relocate to the spokes around the 3rd set of mining systems
leaden talon
No point in that.
leaden talon
No mayflowers for me.
leaden talon
I do have one
solemn sequoia
just spend the 10k fed credits to get it
Yea spend the 10k fed credits to get it
level it to t8 minimum
and scrap
that will get yoiu enough to get a jelly to warp 75
which will allow you to relocate to a spoke around a mining system for 4*
and do your mining with smaller surveyts
leaden talon
My Jelly is at warp 75 with Scotty
solemn sequoia
Then you can mine 4* right now
leaden talon
My mining ship cannot leave the system at least it couldn’t when I tried it when I first got there.
solemn sequoia
hold on taking screen shots will explain
Go to the housing systems around holles
relocate your base there
The warp between holles and the mining systems is like 40 if memory serves
Each faction has one
its not perfect, and you can only do one type at a time
leaden talon
Ok, I haven’t been up there yet, but I’ll mess with it today.
solemn sequoia
but ive been told by multiple people i trust that it works
winged tulip
same reason if you relocate to wolf you can mine lat in the nearby system no matter your dvor level?
solemn sequoia
Holles Talvath and szov are the 3 systems im thinking of'
and yea rwagg, basically
not ALL systems have super high warp requirements inbetween them ,so you can occasionally relocate to certain spots and get there easier
dull cradle
When is borg event store supposed to open up, today or tomorrow?
solemn sequoia
The warp 75 trick for 4* is nice, but you will still need to eventually get your faction miner up there
"By the 22nd" is all we know
dull cradle
Ok, thanks.
solemn sequoia
From what i'm told the 3* faction miners are infinitely better than the 4* ones right now anyway
😂
leaden talon
The repair cost of a 4* miner is astronomical
merry fulcrum
Wait until you get a 4* combat ship

The 6 and 12 hour events have all been updated except the station upgrade events. Any idea when those will be updated?

You in a hurry to be milked there too?

@solemn sequoia Don’t forget once you put yourself in those spots it puts everything else you would normally reach out of range for the most part.
hexed skiff
Well here’s a nice anomaly.
Where do we even begin? Level 42 ships are in the 6m range.
@leaden talon I think it's a glitch. I've been level 40 for a spell, and this is the first time the points were this poor. I'm pretty sure last BFG, we got 20 points for level 41s (which was still a PITA, but was obtainable).
peak cave
They have been changing a lot of the requirements around lately.
Remember scopely wants us to work our butts off for table scraps

That's not what you said though. And that still isn't true.
If you have an explorer or battleship
hardy parcel
Most players have at least one
Kumari is a battleship
Legionary, bortas, intrepid, augur

Anyone know why some servers get events to earn g4 mats but others get none ?

I heard the level 39s move to the level 40 plus bracket only after doing the ascension event

That event was during Jelly launch

He is level 39
shrewd totem
He is probably in a new server
south arrow
Do nothing now that’s stupid

@south arrow have you done the ascension event?
abstract gate
Good advice
hardy parcel
Yeah wait for a year or two
south arrow
Working on my miners fir now can’t upgrade my jelly unless I level up
shrewd totem
@hardy parcel that isnt because of lvl bracket
That Jelly event was special to ISS Jelly launch last year
Probably the player he is talking about is in a new server which got Jelly events recently
hardy parcel
After ascension event people move up to the next leaderboard. So I was theorizing they may get g4 rewards
south arrow
You do but much harder for all events
hardy parcel
So you are getting g4 rewards?
shrewd totem
🤔
hardy parcel
Can you not get to the first g4 systems at 39?
hardy parcel
So move there and refine?
warped stag
Lvl 41 changes to include uncommon
hardy parcel
Yeah it's stupid
warped stag
43 for rare and 45 for epic
shrewd totem
It is probably to make people spend more but will be a nightmare when first F2P players reach lvl39+ content
hardy parcel
Dumb
warped stag
Well maybe it is due to progression? You would be upgrading your uc g4 over that period and would hit those markers with the ship build.
As f2p you would probably hit the ship progression over that time frame.
Not?
warped geyser
well, by the time the first f2p player reaches the 39+ content, they wont be able to get the iss jelly for free anymore, so i guess nothing to worry about
south arrow
Can only upgrade jelly to tier two because u need g4 uncommon mats and ship parts but you can’t refine at 39
hardy parcel
Yeah, like I said. It's stupid
shrewd totem
You can technically upgrade Jelly more at lvl39 but will cost you a ton
warped stag
Was it not the same with g3 mat? You got rare only after a certain lvl?
shrewd totem
Need to max and scrap a lot of Mfs
hardy parcel
No I dont think so @warped stag
warped stag
Well the plut was the like that
south arrow
No reason to level to 39 unless you want the jelly but then you need to spend massive amount to go further
hardy parcel
The odds were low, but both were possible
shrewd totem
Yep
warped stag
Well yes, it is a slow up mechanism

shrewd totem
Is that a joke or real Phil?
hardy parcel
Get one @south arrow they cheap
warped stag
I could but would like gas for research atm
south arrow
Yeah a waste of g3 mats

Guess g3 is like g2 once you're past 40
warped stag
If you are on g4, g3 is irrelevant.
shrewd totem
I will get top 5 primes for free.Def worth it

Not really, you still need for research

The same with g2, max an envoy for g3 mat

If someone spends 500rare g3+ 150+day speed ups for 2rare and 12uc crystals... How sick is this guy?
Cause that happened on my server during research leaderboard
If he planned to do it regardless he got something for nothing no?
He didnt plan regardless😁
If I'm planning something big I'll wait for a lb
Hes early 30s
Also dili counts so if your basing his score purely on rares used you're likely way off
Yea I already counted dilli in, max costs for his level are 1.5mio but average is way less
hardy parcel
Clearly had a lot to catch up on
abstract gate
There's people with t7 kelvins and shizz out there...overspend on a lb isn't even in the top 20 of insane 💩 people do in this game
Why does the leaderboard give less rewards than the solo in first place
Yea but 500vs 2
That hurt
If he had 500 rare gas but needed 2 rare crystal....something for nothing
At the end of the day some people plod along one research or build at a time whilst others stockpile (or drop cash) and push a ton of progression at once...both valid playstyles if done right
winged tulip
I did two intrepid guns for leaderboard today, it's g3 i would have spent anyway and at least i got something back for it..
hardy parcel
Yup. They are just rebate events. If you want to upgrade anyway may as well get something additional back
leaden talon
@solemn sequoia I thought you’d find this interesting.
The Romulan system 43 is warp 75. The Fed is Warp 105.
shrewd totem
That depends on where is your base
Relocate to a neutral system and it will be warp75 again
shrewd totem
As I said depends on where you live
abstract gate
Where is your base located when taking those screens? They are all warp 75 systems, only thing that could explain it is your ship taking a weird route when calculating the trip
leaden talon
Yes, there is that aspect of it. I will try to see what happens tomorrow when I move closer to fed space.
abstract gate
There is an issue with a locked warp path but usually the navigation system works around it
leaden talon
But the whole purpose of these posts originally is that I am now unable to participate in BFG because of the strength of the level 41+ ships.
abstract gate
I noticed a few posts about that so have asked the team, will let you know what they say
I just went 40 two days ago so don't know what the reqs were for the last BFG
leaden talon
We could hit down as low as 39 and get 1 point. 40 was 2pts. It was a bitter grind. Worse then rep lock actually because 40’s didn’t spawn nearly as well as 39s did. Now we need 750 40s which do not spawn as well,
abstract gate
Took me 3 trips with ent to a fed 43 system, actually 4 but I was 2 kills short to just went to Sol for avoiding another 15min warp

I skipped the enterprise to get the iss jelly and the 4* miner, but since have decided to go back after the enterprise.
A faux paux none-the-less.

I reckon you'd need to get a jelly to t6 at least to outgrind the g3 epics
leaden talon
Yeah, at least to tier 4.. Mine’s at tier 3. Now

You could build and scrap a lot of mayflowers for the cost of an enterprise....

How do you unlock the locked routes around the warp 55 systems ?
spice swallow
Why does the quantity of BFG gold trophies needed to redeem shards increase incongruently with the quantity for shards received? Ex. One chest is 50 gold trophies, two chests is 150 gold trophies, 5 chests is 400. Why would someone spend more trophies only to get less shards?
weary thunder
Because you can only redeem every 24 hours
patent island
More chests opened equals faster potential progress, so you pay a premium.

If you only redeem 1 at a time, you’ll end up with a lot of unusable trophies

@twilit imp Can you say how long we need to wait untill we can trade our Borg Event Token and Points? At Arq two from Borg Event you say we can trade them at the End of Arq three but now a lot of Days after the Borq Arq 3 there is nothing we can trade our Points for?
north wraith
@molten basalt Ultra Borg points will be available to redeem on 22nd April at event reset as far as i know
robust vapor
You guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment I think 😅 only the epic rewards tokens have been confirmed as redeemable at this stage AFAIK..
obtuse otter
Still the 21st in Scopely time zone.
teal jackal
Yep. Nobody had said anything about redeeming Borg points. Announcement just says epic tokens.
And if "epic" Armada chests are any indication, prepare to be disappointed.
robust vapor
Panic did mention the possibility of looking into it during the Q&A, but that's hardly meaningful. He should have just said nothing, radio silence is the Scopely way after all! 😂
molten basalt
thanks @north wraith
inner grail
does anyone know when events for event ships will be? NS,jelly and others
earnest citrus
No one knows, Scopely doesn't publish an event calendar
inner grail
is it repeatable?
earnest citrus
NS event has never been repeated. Jelly event, not for a while. Vi'dar event is too recent to be repeated so soon. Franklin event has been a year since you could earn the full ship, 5 months since you could get some shards
inner grail
mighty lynx
Can we have another faction hunt today since the last one never went very well
earnest citrus
No more faction hunts mate, Battle for Glory for the next 2-3 days
inner grail
nooooooooooo
stop hunt
swarm will be ok 🙃
@earnest citrus so should I just reroll to get those ships?😁
earnest citrus
Well for the the NS, you're gonna have to pay $$$. Jelly you can't get after lvl 18 anyway. Vi'dar will likely come back eventually. Franklin event will probably run again sometime this year, or at least get some shards.
inner grail
I'll get horizon soon so I will not need ns. waiting for frank than... thanks
final borg event is over? or It will be another one soon?
earnest citrus
There's the 'epic finale' to come, but what exactly that means we don't know.
ashen wharf
Hahaha "vidar will come back"
Good one
Thats what people said about franklin, botany bay
Hahaha
See yah in 3 years
ashen wharf
Not free
inner grail
free
it is hard to find quests for it but you can open aug space any time. and when you open it - you can buy blueprints in aug faction shop
raw zenith
The bps in augment store for when you initially open augment cap out. You will not get enough to fully unlock.
During the original augment event you could collect bps daily from augment store but there was a cap bc remaining had to be earned from the augment events that were also running
inner grail
I registered and got 6 or 7th level half of year ago and left. 2 month before I started playing. aug event was gone. botany too. so how I got my botany?
raw zenith
Yea. Two events.
Nothing since then other than random data mining events everyone hates
Ugh gotta shower. Noooooooo
inner grail
you can get 30 from quests, another 30 when you opening aug faction(in store)
cosmic sage
You guys are not remembering how to get BB blueprints. There wasnt an event you got half the prints through the ~faction~ store and the other half through missions.
inner grail
there is daily reward
robust vapor
.. 30 from missions, and 30 from faction store.. still going today and freely available..
cosmic sage
By store I mean the faction store
robust vapor
Reminds me, someone keeps saying that they disappear from the faction store if you don't collect within the 5 days. 5 days been and gone, time to check my alt!
cosmic sage
I'm pretty sure they will vanish when you get enough.
robust vapor
That's what I said, they stop at 30, but no one believes me 😴
cosmic sage
I had a full ship and another 30 because I bought half of it
ashen wharf
I didnt buy at all
But to get a second one i would have needed to buy a pack from the $$ store
Even lcars says its $$ pack not faction
robust vapor
It's not impossible that there was an event that gave a set, I don't do data mining events 😴 but you get a full set 100% free by doing missions and claiming through faction store, otherwise I wouldn't have one and my alt wouldn't be doing the missions and faction store right now 🙄
cosmic sage
The problem is you cant do data events without building the ship first.
inner grail
you don't need botany to open faction. you can get 30 from faction store. another 30 from quests. LCARS can show you where to run those
robust vapor
"Claim daily reward chest in augment faction store" @ashen wharf
cosmic sage
The augment store opens up during the mission chain but augment space wont open up until the ship is actually built for a mission.
ashen wharf
^
cosmic sage
Lacars is incorrect. You can get 30 points from missions.
robust vapor
It says that above also
inner grail
that was fast😁
robust vapor
See the list of missions.
cosmic sage
Ah my bad disnt notice that
robust vapor
I've finished the missions 🙄
inner grail
there is long chain of missions to open that space but as I know, last one need botany to be opened but faction is opening before that mission done
cosmic sage
Yep
robust vapor
And you referred to LCARS saying it's not faction store, yet LCARS says "faction store"..
inner grail
sorry, here some ,,,,,,, to understand text above
robust vapor
😑
ashen wharf
That means the dailies wont get you enough to build it
inner grail
you can get 30 from faction store, you can get 30 from pack and you can get 30 from quests
cosmic sage
I did the missions, bought half the first one, claimed the 30 from augment store anyway, and then bought half of my second one lol.
inner grail
if there will be some bug with store, you will get chance to make second BB😏
ashen wharf
nope lol if its $$ there wont be bugs
inner grail
indian guy in my head shouting about "no bug dollar"
robust vapor
"Completing the mission chain will grant you with 30 Botany Bay blueprints, and you will be able to obtain the rest through daily chests from the new faction store or buy them directly in special sales."
Straight from Panic @ashen wharf
OR buy them, OR..
ashen wharf
Thats from last year dude when the event happened
Lol
its not the same process we had since there isnt an event.
robust vapor
People still doing, I've been talking several people through it and my alt is doing it right now 😑
robust vapor
Franklin? That's not a botany bay 😑
robust vapor
Franklin was an actual limited time run event, botany bay was missions that are available to all players and faction store redemption..
I'm just going to assume he's a troll at this point..
ashen wharf
Just show your alt bb
robust vapor
He's in the middle of acquiring, hence I know the missions and faction store still work 🙄
ashen wharf
all you gotta do is show the aug store amounts and current bps 🤨
robust vapor
Hang on, let me get this old brick working and I'll transfer the faction store screenshot..
abstract gate
6bps per day🤷♂️
robust vapor
There. Faction store with daily 6 blueprints (claimable 5 times). And even a mission that I haven't finished yet with BB blueprints.
ashen wharf
Interesting they must have updated that it wasn't always obtainable for newer ppl. They were asking between september - feb how to get bb prints
Guy from last month actually
robust vapor
So far the only people I've spoken to haven't actually finished the missions. This is how it was on release, still working that way today, and I've advised several people on how to obtain the Botany Bay without issue.
If their experience is different I would suggest they raise a ticket with support.
abstract gate
Not knowing how to get bb bp's doesn't equate being unable to get them.
robust vapor
And for reference: augment faction store unlocked 9 days ago and still available 😴👍
ashen wharf
i mean the guy literally said he couldnt see them in the faction store last year lol
robust vapor
@abstract gate two of those comments claim to have already checked faction store. Assuming that they're not overlooking something obvious (I'm not there to point at it for them), they may have an actual issue.
abstract gate
Well one just says shop...he could well be looking in the wrong place.
inner grail
I was in same situation. I didn't know how to get that gd bb. I used lcars to open chain and see all quests
robust vapor
Like I said, I'm not there to point at it for them 🤷♂️ it's possible they have a bug. I know bugs are practically non-existent in this game, but it is possible!
abstract gate
Never underestimate the sheer stupidity/laziness of gamers. Looking and seeing are 2 entirely different things.
robust vapor
Sadly without being there yourself you can only go with what they tell you 🤷♂️ I know it's there and works, I know the game bugs out, I don't know what's on their screen and what they've done/not done.
inner grail
one of my ally mates started one of quests to open aug facton and forgot about that. he just had that quest for long. I gave him list of all quests and asked him to look in his list and compare. he found one
ashen wharf
Cant call ppl that play this gamers more like ppl that got tired castle crushers 🤣
robust vapor
Yeah, that's common as. You end up 6 or 12 short, there's at least 1 mission most people overlook in the mission list 😂
abstract gate
Been a while but doesn't the chain break and need to be picked up again in a seperate system?
abstract gate
Vaguely remember explaining the process a dozen times a day for a week to my alliance or on here when it rolled out
Became such a common thing my predictive text was giving me near complete sentences after typing 3 letters
robust vapor
Yeah, I get that sometimes.. it even predicts my emoticons based on what I've just typed sometimes 😬
abstract gate
Yup...problematic when it accidentally flips off a mod here...happened more than once
stray frigate
Will there be another Tribble Event?

So i was wondering. When can we expect the next race to 20 event?
I assume that event hasnt been scrapped?

scrapped when 2020 came around

Hi Scopely, everyone assumed this ment, you know, 6 min ago... Where is that borg store?
abstract gate
Assumptions are the mother of all fuckups
peak cave
Plus it said by the 22 of APR. which means it should have happened within the last week, and ends today.
abstract gate
In scopely time it’s 22nd of April for 9 more hours

They didn't say April 22nd of which year, did they?

Calm down we can all redeem our tokens for 1 rare or 3 uc in due time....... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We also expected it to be available by now.

The faction reputation resets in just under an hour, it might be then?

in all honesty, it should have been available in the morning.

They tend to do stuff on 6 hour rotations so hopefully not 5 hrs 45 minutes to go...

Considering all the new and improved glitches, I am not surprised at this lack of coming thru on the part of scopley in regards to these borg token rewards
hybrid ibex
well its the 23rd on the Asian servers now.
Maybe they got a different in game announcement. 🙈

Maybe they meant April '22 as in 2022 😅

No suprise if we dont get it today i don't think anyone in sever 151 expect to see anything good in the store anyways

No one is gonna quit.
abstract gate
Can't quit due to a sucky store if they never implement it. Genius!
ashen wharf
Tell that to the 11 40s that quit on our server

They didnt quit. Maybe take a break. And scopely knows it.
Probably didnt even take a break. They are probably playing on new accounts

Meanwhile at scopely hq...

Probably didnt even take a break. They are probably playing on new accounts

This is an absolute win for Scopely even if they quit and didn't make new accounts

I agree

Many on my server only stayed in hope of store
<@&509690795536941056> about time we got an update on the status of the promised event store no? "By the 22nd" implies before that date is reached...it's reached so where's our store?

3 months of Borg event with 249 Borg point to be spent. I feel this has been a bigger let down than Brexit was. What a waste of time and effort for this to be giving as a reward to players for their hard work, time and dedication to the game.
neat plover
They said mystery prize, not good prize
serene raptor
If they'd have said shit prize, we'd all be fine
