Let's give them a second chance!....ok third....fine fourth...FINAL! final chance scopely...don't f it up
solemn aspen
"we'll do better next time" like an addict telling you he'll/she'll change, and you keep hoping they will but they won't
you give them another chance and then there's stuff missing in your house.
abstract gate
@solemn aspen not like an addict, more like an abusive spouse
solemn aspen
Remember the movie "Enough?"
abstract gate
No but I remember my parents marriage
inner loom
solemn aspen
I think the end of the movie is where this relationship is headed.
They'll use the law to abuse the customer, after all it is the american way.
mental yoke
The best part of the announcement was them saying that the frame was the epic reward and the token chests were “extra”
solemn aspen
They are the pimps and we are the hoes voluntarily giving up our time and money falling for that light at the end of the tunnel silver forked tongue talk.
amber gull
speeding to lvl 25 to get vidar, slapping uncommon/rare mats for jaylah - 3 days of non-stop sleep alarm pressing tribbles every odd hours
ashen wharf
well atleast ..atleast i hope ... we arent the ones that gave them House mortgage amounts
solemn aspen
I still see just 9 epic reward tokens.
abstract gate
They said in the coming weeks @solemn aspen
ashen wharf
coming months*
solemn aspen
coming eons
dreamy root
Should I spend 40$ to get the Franklin?
solemn aspen
coming period of time that they hope we will have forgotten this snafu.
ashen wharf
your money
dreamy root
But is it worth it for that money?
silver current
@dreamy root no
dreamy root
Ok
solemn aspen
yes spend the 40$ so you can join the grand disappointed host.
dreamy root
I really want an event to come
silver current
40 1 dollar movies would be more satisfying
ashen wharf
not much at all
dreamy root
I would get it if it was 20$
solemn aspen
yeah but you need to spend an additional 700$ if you want to tier it all the way up.
silver current
If you could get it with no glitches it may be fun.
solemn aspen
the frank pack might get you halfway through tier 2.
silver current
The app has not had a single day since released with no glitches.
solemn aspen
I'll give you a heads up, my alliance will very likely get 1st place in the swarm ALB, and those 200k frequency modulators won't even be enough for a single component on my franklin.
silver current
Make them fix it before making any more purchases.
amber gull
for t5+ but if you get the franklin fresh then it'll boost to a higher tier depends on player lvl
solemn aspen
and despite all of this my centurian kills 10x more swarms than my franklin can kill.
dreamy root
I’m currently lvl 21
ashen wharf
yeah i play other games because this game is way too glitchy
dreamy root
About to start upgrade to 22
dreamy root
I know smaller game company’s who do better
amber gull
the warp stuff will be in the mission - it'll get your franklin up to a good lvl and start grinding the other mods
solemn aspen
the franklin is excellent in the very beginning, then it sucks all the way till right before you max it out at 500k power. and it is only good for killing swarms, NOTHING ELSE.
dreamy root
I just need to get the dam thing first
silver current
The Franklin is worthless anywhere but swarm space.
dreamy root
I need to kill swarms for dailies and these events
amber gull
franklin is worthless until they do these swarm events
winged tulip
It's ridiculous how much harder the 35 swarm are than 32 too, i really don't like grinding out 260 32 kills on each event day!
amber gull
rss and repair time is less costly in the upper levels - believe it
ashen wharf
its a one use ship just like vidar just like botany lol
solemn aspen
my franklin will get killed fighting a normal hostile that my franklin outpowers by 5x the hostile's power rating.
ashen wharf
just like dvor
solemn aspen
My Dvor is stronger against hostiles than my franklin is.
amber gull
ships are not worth -> then events happen and the rewards are stacked and nice + LB points
ashen wharf
leaderboards are trash though
solemn aspen
but the franklin has ridiculous upgrade costs even early on.
amber gull
you take less time to do the solo lat rush
inner loom
At least the swarm events give decent rewards. Worth building Franklin just for Sunday events. I don’t regret putting a couple hundred into it.
ashen wharf
its always ranged ridiculously
amber gull
don't want to be mining and resetting g3 nodes all day
people be fighting and shoulder surfing your node
solemn aspen
I'd need to do all my swarm dailies for 390 days to have enough frequency modulators to finish T5.
yes....that is correct 390 effin' days.
amber gull
lol yep I calculated 2 months per weapon haha
severe bridge
@solemn aspen are you including loot from the swarm, also add in the large number you kill in addition to normal from swarm sunday. it shouldn't take that long for tier 5.
inner loom
Yeah they want you to buy the FMs for those middle tiers
ashen wharf
count how long you have to max a augment officer
solemn aspen
@dreamy root do you want this headache?
oh my bad that might knock it down a couple months.
solemn aspen
just wait till 22 and get the vahklas.
do not buy the franklin, it will be useful for maybe up to swarm 22?
solemn tusk
solemn aspen
24 maybe, then the vahklas will get you to more 24's than the franklin cause you will get stuck at the pay wall unless you spend all day long grinding swarms, then you get the kumari, and that'll get you to teh 26's, and then the first faction ship will get you to the 28-32's depending how far you take it.
and during that time the franklin will sit in your ship yard collecting dust the entire time.
hardy parcel
@solemn aspen franklin is good up to swarm 35. I I wouldn't use any other ship against swarm tbh
inner loom
I would not follow Scrumdog’s advice
solemn aspen
yes as I said before it is amazing in the beginning, and in the end, but throughout if you don't pay, it's useless.
inner loom
I use Franklin all the time. Can’t imagine doing the 32s without it, even with my lv34 faction ships
solemn tusk
Right now I’m can kill 66 lvl 32 swarms with Franklin. 2 lvl 35 swarms. My faction ship does 28 32 swarms
hardy parcel
@solemn aspen didn't pay for mine. It's a grind but it's amazing if you stick with it
solemn aspen
the time you need to invest to grind swarm hostiles is insane and I don't have that amount of time to invest.
solemn tusk
Each lvl up rewards get higher for daily amount received. I have not bought a frequency pack for Frank. Grind only
solemn aspen
I just love it when a mid 30's level player tries to compare their situation with another player that's 5-10 levels below them.
severe bridge
what level are you Scrumdog?
solemn aspen
fresh 29
solemn tusk
My Frank was t6 at lvl 28
Put the correct crew in frank and grind it out when you can.
solemn aspen
again I said before I do not have half the day to dump into this game I am self employed. I don't time to just throw away into the ether.
I got pike about 2 weeks ago.
pike changes everything.
inner loom
Yeah it’s either time or money. But the other ways you recommend doing swarms, to me, seem more difficult and costly in the long run.
solemn aspen
i can get the swarm dailies no problem, but sitting in swarm space killing hundreds of lvl 28's I don't have time for..
and the packs really don't get you that far. maybe 100 bucks to get half of a tier. I would need to just grind ops level to make those packs be worth it.
maybe it will be different after the swarm research who knows.
inner loom
When your dailies want those lv32 it does get way more costly to use your expensive warships to kill 30. But perhaps that works for your game, in which case that’s great I’m glad you have an alternate path.
I’ve put in two packs of FMs. Between that and maybe doing swarm dailies three times a week, I’m sitting at T8 with some components built. It’s not bad but as you say the time spent getting to that point has value, and it was easier to spend the $200 to jump over the worst of the grind
solemn aspen
You want to buy some of my work? so that I can just toss 200$ into this game?
artists don't get paid regularly, we have to stretch our paychecks to the max.
but no one is gonna be able to buy art for awhile after this lovely pandemic we are enjoying right now.
this is the age of financial ruin
granite cobalt
Would be great if they put in a Franklin Acquisition event with the swarm event!
They should consider putting in a few Franklin blueprints with each week's swarm event. Even if it was like 5 bp, at least then you knew if you grinded out enough weeks you could get a franklin.
solemn aspen
oh yeah and im stuck in a foreign country on top of that,
inner loom
The world is a crazy place, and now more than ever. For certain don’t spend money on this game if it’s a hardship. This is not an investment. This is just for entertainment.
I don’t even remember how I got the bps for the first Franklin it was so long ago, but it must have been through missions.
abstract gate
You know what would be awesome? If Scopely released a Harrison event that everyone could participate in.. and it shouldn’t be a leaderboard event... those are just lame.. it should be like borg milestones.. but at every tier you gain shards and eventually unlock him..
I want Harrison... scopely please 😂
flat fog
This LB level range is absurd...how am I suppose to compete with level 39 when am 32...
No point trying more, so I'll just pass
waxen vault
Can someone please enlighten me as to how the points are awarded in the swarm LB? How do I have millions of points if they’re scored one per victory?
dreamy root
It’s by damage
waxen vault
@dreamy root I missed that, thanks.
flat fog
This matchup is stupid, give no incentive to try
shrewd totem
@flat fog they will change it tomorrow
flat fog
That would be nice
shrewd totem
👍🏻
noble oar
While the change is appreciated looking at other events I'm unsure how much it'll help
hushed belfry
We were told we could receive borg jaylah one of 3 ways, the solo leaderboards, officer chests, and premium unlock pass. I’m not sure if the premium unlock pass has a level requirement, but April is almost over and we were told she would be available in officer chests in April. Any word <@&509690795536941056> ?
obtuse otter
Jaylah 3 ways? hmmm....🤔
ashen wharf
It did say unlock
shrewd totem
@obtuse otter yeah said in official announcement
ashen wharf
obtuse otter
heh... double entendre.
shrewd totem
👀
hushed belfry
“ Note, Borgified Jaylah will initially only be available through Solo Leaderboard events & the Premium unlock pass but will also, later on, be offered during April in officer chests.”
agile flame
so se spend or not the epic token?
hushed belfry
Do spend. New store will have a max amount you can spend equal to what they give back to us
So youd have leftover if you dont spend what you have now
tepid cipher
Thanks Scopely for the "Threat from Beyond LB" !!! However, it is not fair to place all players from different levels in one Leadership Board !! please re-consider this
robust vapor
Answered in general feedback.
solemn aspen
Do you know what it costs to repair? I'm well over a million and im rank 72 in the LB. What goes through your heads when you make these rewards? Or is it standard operating procedure to be given a concussion prior to making these decisions.
abstract gate
B..but marcus!
solemn aspen
unlocked him already.
ashen wharf
you get more shards not doing the event
and just doing standard recruit packs for a week
lol
solemn aspen
yeah 10 shards not gonna make a difference.
our alliance in 1st place nearly every event, I make more shards just participating in the ALB's instead of wasting my resources for 10 measley shards.
merry fulcrum
@solemn aspen tomorrow's leaderboard will be fixed
solemn aspen
no they wont, i don't expect anything good out of this.
merry fulcrum
They already said they would
robust vapor
shrewd totem
Inception!
distant smelt
Aaahhh......he don't work for Scopely. 'Member? You 'member.....
robust vapor
No, but the mods are privy to additional information. They can't change anything, but acting as an intermediary is within their powers 🤷♂️
teal jackal
Either that, or we make stuff up and hope Scopely does it.
abstract gate
Instead of a top 100 lb each lb will be top 25 or top 10 only...a select few will benefit from it but for 99% of the playerbase nothing will have changed
It's the scopely way
solemn aspen
yeah but i donm't trust them
I trust scopely as far as I can throw a cubic foot of osmium.
abstract gate
You shouldn't. Trust is earned and scopely have done less than nothing to earn it.
solemn aspen
1cubic foot of osmium weighs 1410.25 lbs
abstract gate
Was replying to the first line of text, I'm aware that osmium is a dense element
solemn aspen
I have less than 0 expectations from scopely.
they've earned it.
what are their announcements comprised of? apologies and new content. that's it.
abstract gate
A Franklin event before swarms? Are you insane? No money in that
solemn aspen
they have a really good game on their hands and they're trashing it. I wish i knew who wrote the original game, i'd congratulate them.
solemn aspen
they'll put it in the middle or in the end of the event. They want you to suffer without it.
whittle away at those inhibitions first.
solemn aspen
I thought i was gonna get another Dvor at the end of the borg, nope.
abstract gate
Original game was by digit
solemn aspen
then i wouldn't have such a hard time resetting my lat nodes during mining events with our server rules.
dreamy root
does the ability to purchase the dvor come when you hit lvl 23?
solemn aspen
specialty miners not allowed on G3 nodes, nor not Dvors protected by roe on lat nodes during event in the 157.
shrewd totem
@dreamy root yes
solemn aspen
same with data mining, BB's on;y protected by roe during events everything else is treated like a warship mining.
dreamy root
ours isnt like that
solemn aspen
I like those rules, a lot.
dreamy root
Warpships is a no, OPC is a no and 0 node is a 2 min warning
solemn aspen
our server gives you 10 seconds.
solemn aspen
0 node warning mandatory
dreamy root
Same
solemn aspen
2 minutes is way too long.
dreamy root
i guess
solemn aspen
30 seconds is plenty.
dreamy root
its what it is
solemn aspen
i don't get bothered too much in 40 space.
dreamy root
Im still in the lower plaves as a lvl 21
solemn aspen
i avoid nodes less than 18k, I just mine them too fast, it's more of a nuisance to mine them.
like those 3600 nodes, i empty them in 13 and a half minutes with mining crew on.
dreamy root
they take like 55 mins for me
solemn aspen
too much of a hassle, and i would need to reset the node 8 times just to get my mining daily done.
dreamy root
I need to reset 3 times
solemn aspen
better to get a 40k node and forget about it for 4 hours.
dreamy root
i need to get a bigger protected to do that
solemn aspen
i hold 60k protected cargo in my biggest miner.
I need to get it to T8 but i still need 1200 unc crystal to get there
dreamy root
nice
solemn aspen
1300,
dreamy root
i think mine is like 10k unless i have that augment crew guy on it
solemn aspen
its 500unc g3 crystal for the laser, and another 800 for the warp component and 6 days to tier up the tship.
and 23 million trit and a few million dil.
dreamy root
i need 70unc g3 crystal for my warp drive so i can start doing missions to get D3 bP
solemn aspen
i would avoid interceptors
dreamy root
thats for my north star
solemn aspen
just cause you need 1000's of unc crystal upgrade your horizon.
and a D3 is an interceptor
dreamy root
ok
solemn aspen
the mayflower sucks, the lego is a beaast but it's a snail.
dreamy root
i was told the D3 is alright
solemn aspen
D3 great, its fast as hell. buuut, it needs crystal. and every big player in my alliance told me to not build an interceptor since it makes you choose between your miner and your main warship
dreamy root
Ok
solemn aspen
you dual faction?
dreamy root
Klingon for rn
solemn aspen
I would really try to dual if you don't plan to spend loads of monies.
dreamy root
I’ll probably do that once I can start doing some bigger missions
But I’m going to go. It’s 4 in the morning
solemn aspen
fednaturally is a good choice due to the sheer numbers of officers that need to be upgraded.
later.

Is there another event like the Borg one on the horizon @twilit imp ?

That’s what armadas said too tho. 😁
peak bay
Any news about ships XP and officers XP events coming back? Why, when they put some new ideas they have to remoove old, good ones? Cannot be shards and XP events released togeather?
humble siren
Geez. The leagues on this event are crazy. On our server we have l30-38 in one league, resulting in huge differences in score. @twilit imp it would be great if you guys could have a look at this for the restart. Why not use the same leagues as you do in ferengi mining event?
robust vapor
@humble siren they're already going to adjust.
tawdry notch
Anyone else realize that if you did your daily swarm before the event started that your biominerals don't count towards the event that started the same day?
People get less points in their alliance ranking because they did their swarm daily early and they can't make up for that
west ingot
Come on jelly events
robust vapor
@tawdry notch yep, always been that way. Have to earn it during the event for it to count, and they refuse to give us advanced notice 👍
gusty glen
@tawdry notch yes I noticed that. I almost always do my swarms early in the day. For some reason yesterday I hadn't so was very pleased when that event showed up. A nice initial boost compared to most others.
robust vapor
I just don't bother collecting the points until later most days, that was one of those days 😅

Anyone know when come next monthly borg event

they lowered the rewards for the swarm leaderboard.

No shards, no bp's and fewer uc's...good job crybabies

the rewards changed but also the braket
at least I have a shot, would have been nice for 30/31s to get some ship BP too though

where has the gas gone?
winged light
The leaderboard is worse than before .... lvl 34-39 are in the same bracket again ... 😬
fast mirage
prisma geode
They tier the rewards based on your level
So the lower level brackets will not see the same reward as the higher level brackets
devout talon
What are rewards for 32/33?
abstract gate
Lvl38...ours are reduced a lot yet we are still competing with the try hards
prisma geode
It’s pretty simple, if you don’t see the rewards worth the chase then don’t do it.
autumn elk
That's a goddamn joke for a 24h grind LB
autumn elk
Compare that to yesterday with 5 Trep BPs and Marcus shards...
And my bracket didn't change at all
Still 34-39 it seems
prisma geode
The ship bps were worthless to me. I have an augur why would I go after an intrepid
autumn elk
That's another point yes
vestal wedge
This was top 25 earlier
autumn elk
I have an augur too, still want Marcus shards
Why would I grind that much for 6/75 crystal
prisma geode
If you have a maxed franklin and right crew, it’s really not that much to get top 5
flat fog
If I leave my alliance and come back fews hours later, will I still get the alliance rewards event?
prisma geode
No, plus there is an 8 hour cool down once you leave
dreamy root
There needs to be a Franklin event after all these swarm events
prisma geode
24 hour cool down for going into new alliance before you can receive or contribute to events
flat fog
I know the 8hr countdown to come back yes
So even if already contributed to my alliance score when I come back I still wont get the rewards?
flint osprey
I believe they changed the brackets, that's why the rewards are less
shrewd totem
Yes they did change brackets

Simple, do nothing but play the game for the length of the event. Lol
solid badger
I do not believe this event is working properly. I was just doing the faction chests and amount of officers I received did not add up to points received.
vestal wedge
try restarting
teal jackal
@solid badger it looks like you received the correct amount. For a premium chest. It gives 5. The officer xp is from an uncommon officer you have Max shards for
abstract gate
They count every officertype alone so you get 3x points, yea looks stupid
solid badger
The total I had prior to pull and the amount I received after the pull did not add up. Will check again with more screenshots on next one.
autumn elk
so is there any info if ship xp and officer xp events will be gone for good?
I had saved for months to have 1 mil ship xp ready and then they change it without warning...
same with officers

Would think they should be back. When no clue.

Do the Vulcan officers have to be captain or part of the bridge?
For the Borg probes
shrewd totem
Captain

More par padding for my base is generally nice but that dil amount really is measly 😦
shrewd totem
It is there just to cover repairs

In that case I'd like less par and some trit please 🙂
shrewd totem
Well there is an officer event that gives 10m trit if you can finish it

Seeing my RNG luck I doubt it. I'm stockpiling packs for a LB where I might have a chance
with some luck I'll finally get pike then 🙂

ship yards, docks,....
shrewd totem
Shipyard,ship hangar,docks
sleek sage
@shrewd totem is the captain requirement confirmed? And if so, why couldn’t they just say “as captain” like they did with prior events? Here it seems they are almost deliberately vague; and in a zone where we have to burn a token to test it....
shrewd totem
Probably forgot to add it
plucky ermine
@sleek sage just grind hostiles
shrewd totem
We had this event during first contact and they added captain in description after we send it to them
plucky ermine
it's more rewarding and save your warp tokens for other events
shrewd totem
Probably forgot to add it this time
And since it is weekend,Devs dont work so dont think even if we say it they will change it
plucky ermine
it's just a trap. To finish the milestone event, just do your daily faction hostiles - done. To compete in the solo LB just grind hostiles - done.
shrewd totem
Yeah
sleek sage
Wheres that admiral akbar meme?
abstract gate
Another solo LB event like we burned 2 days ago? Way to go, I'm not competing with wales, thank you

usually the spock Lb is more tight

didn't check on bracket spacing this time though
cunning frost
really ask us get officer parts and no off the events even gives token to recruit any officer ?
plucky ermine
@cunning frost the parts / level up officers are bad value compard to how many points a hostile kill earns you

swarm dailys i mostly dod as side thing when just sneakinbg around

Has anyone gotten the bonus points for using spock on vidar? It isn't stated that he needs to be the captain, does it?
I have him on the bridge of vidar in borg space but no bonus. Does vidar in borg space alone give 5 pts n spock another 5??
cunning frost
he must be on bridge on 25 sondes get with vidar lvl 15 13points per kill
dont forget spock from enterprise crew is the blue one
the one from another time doesnot count for it

Regarding the level brackets: on our server lvl20 competes with lvl26, that seems imbalanced
Working as intended...as far as scopely is concerned if you're struggling it's because you haven't spent enough

It strikes me odd not to use the level brackets like in the last event
Don't try to understand scopely's methodology, that route lies madness...just chalk it up to greedy cash grabbing and move on.

do they have to be on the bridge?

@shrewd totem for LB event, does rare spock has to be capt or on bridge for extra points?

Vulcan event is a joke. Took 6 minutes.
clever wigeon
What are the Vulcan shards?
flint osprey
Tping - stonn and spock
halcyon citrus
Monthly stopped showing up for half of the alliance
merry fulcrum
I used to think stonn was romulan which would make sense, since, he's the ore miner
candid goblet
@merry fulcrum me too
merry fulcrum
But nope, it's all fed, more fed credits to go down the drain, instead of into my enterprise bps

Stonn was Spock's rival for the affection of T'pring. All Vulcans

I've watched majority of star trek, but I missed some episodes, which series was that in?

Ahhh
obtuse otter
And now I have to watch it. To Netflix!
novel jasper
Anyone else notice that if you have your EPIC romulans maxed you can’t score points in these events?
teal jackal
@novel jasper this event is for Vulcans, not Romulans. So yea...🤔
novel jasper
Same stuff lol. My Spock etc are maxed did 30 ultra pulls no points
keen ledge
There are logical space elves and angry space elves. They aren't the same. 🤣
novel jasper
Well let’s just say the event is broken then
obtuse otter
None of these events count shards for maxed officers.

Want do we want? FRACTURED EMPIRE EVENTS. When do we want them? NOW 😋
dreamy root
I want a Franklin event
shrewd totem
I want AoW not Fractured empire
And people can get Frank bps in event store during AoW
merry fulcrum
I'd still prefer 90 uc a day over aow tbh
shrewd totem
Fractured empire is basically swarm event 2.0 Only difference is you get a little bit more trit/unc cry and kill seps instead of swarm
obtuse otter
I want a pony
shrewd totem
During AoW you also have Fractured empire as solo event
obtuse otter
unicorn was asking too much
shrewd totem
So instead of asking for just Fractured empire,ask for AoW which has Fractured empire,other events and event store
obtuse otter
Gimme free stuff!
shrewd totem
No free stuff!
merry fulcrum
Well, aow literally has the same solo milestones as fractured empire
obtuse otter
Ok. I'll "work" real hard pressing buttons on my phone

Fractured or AoW the team work side of things for Alliances makes it more fun, rather than everyone soloing for the team.
Taking down the Bosses for e.g.
shrewd totem
What you are saying was a year ago.Now almost everyone can kill bosses solo
robust vapor
Yeah, I could solo bosses before I had Pike 😂
shrewd totem
It was fun while it lasted
robust vapor
Kumak had a purpose 💪
Probably why it hasn't been out recently, too easy..
robust vapor
Increasing the weapon damage would be an easy first thought.. those things throw pebbles at my ship 🤨
shrewd totem
Orrrrr just add another level of sep hostiles
robust vapor
🤔 elite separatist management?
shrewd totem
😂
carmine lily
not everyone can take bosses solo, many below 30 still can't even with pike and those that can often can only get one, so there's still a teamwork aspect involved. That event hasn't happened in so long though it's tough to gauge how it would go without people going out and testing the waters. I used to see people regularly hunting seperatists just for the chest drops, nowadays almost no one ever goes there, so many other things to hunt.
dapper drum
I was 28 and beating bosses with sally without pike
shrewd totem
I didnt said everyone 🤷♂️
I said almost everyone so more like 95%
No one goes there because drop from seps arent that good anymore
robust vapor
Hey, if my old Bortas was killing them without Pike then they're not that tough 😂 though crew made a huge difference too (not cadets!)
shrewd totem
With Kumak+Nero+Decius,a T7 lvl28 will be enough probably
carmine lily
it's probably more like 55% a lot of people still don't know how to crew properly, and many of the ftp players are still below 28. many others rushed ops but have extremely weak ships.
robust vapor
Long time since the event it feels 😬 but my ships are always sub-par and handled it no worries. I had a friend who was struggling a bit until I told them to change crews.
Hey, I'm the guy with weak ships and rushed ops, my whole gameplay 😁
carmine lily
I was killing bosses with my legionary, but it required burning crew and was always a suicide run.
split sequoia
back in the days...........
shrewd totem
People who cant crew their ships isnt our or Scopely's probably. Technically they can kill bosses which is what matters
Most of the F2P is around lvl28-30 with T6+ lvl28 ships
robust vapor
Hmm. I might give my Mayflower a go 🤔
split sequoia
camp there waiting for some big boy to drop the boss's shield to suicide my kumari on it
robust vapor
That's how you get KoS! 😂
split sequoia
then u see slip or gd killing them like normal hostiles..................
shrewd totem
I could kill a boss with my Mf at lvl28.Sure 1 boss per trip but still I could kill bosses 🤷♂️
And that was before rebalance
robust vapor
Mine is pretty small still, so be a good measure..
split sequoia
yea.......
shrewd totem
I maxed mine a few days ago
robust vapor
And yeah, watching those guys chew through bosses in the day 😂
@shrewd totem nice! When the scrapping??
shrewd totem
16 days left for ops to finish
robust vapor
F it, speed it up! 😂
shrewd totem
But will take a lot more.I need to upgrade R&D,Shipyard and Scrapyard
Nah I want to make sure it takes a long time.Need to catch up in research
robust vapor
Ah, fair enough.. at least the hardest part is out of the way. Despite the negative Nelly's in here..
shrewd totem
😅
robust vapor
Mine will be a while, I'm aiming for 36 first 😬
shrewd totem
Lvl36 is kinda pointless for me.Even if I get Jelly,I wont be able to upgrade it at all and other than Jelly nothing special with lvl36
robust vapor
I just want the extra stuff. More research, more module bonuses, more event rewards 🤷♂️
shrewd totem
Plus armada packs will get a lot more expensive which is a huge negative for me
robust vapor
What's an Armada? 🤔
shrewd totem
😂
robust vapor
One day I'll be bothered with them 😅
carmine lily
@shrewd totem by that logic, "technically" ftp players can be level 40+ with 4m+ power ships because they have the ability to buy packs and not be ftp anymore...right?
shrewd totem
That wasnt my point but whatever 🤷♂️
carmine lily
I know. I was just making the point that a lot of people don't min/max their play experience, there's a lot of casual players out there. some servers are more hardcore than others.
robust vapor
2 bosses with my baby Mayflower 👍
robust vapor
I'm sending my Vi'Dar for comparison now, and maybe my Legionary if that goes ok 🤔
@shrewd totem I'm doing that one now, next it's worse..
shrewd totem
I am using my tokens right now 😭.No time to raid
robust vapor
Where's all your steel? I'm over 1b with all the recent events 😅
shrewd totem
Spender it all when I went from 32 to 34
Had around 800m
Now only 400m left in tokens 😐 and still need 100m to finish scrapyard
robust vapor
Vi'Dar almost gets two..
Hmm. I'm sitting on over 2b worth of tokens 🤫
Oh, and it's over stating power because it crew 🤔
robust vapor
Not the stuff that I want though 😂
robust vapor
That's a lot of steel 😬
shrewd totem
Only problem I have now
robust vapor
Pfft, easy fix. PvE crew and leave it in augment space 24/7
shrewd totem
Already doing that but PvE crew is on Sally and Brel
robust vapor
Preparing to test T2 Legionary on elite bosses.. may the gods help them.
shrewd totem
😂
robust vapor
Ok, T2 legionary won't cut it 😂
I reckon a 400k ship should be fine though, and that's not hard to achieve these days for G3 shops. No one who's up to bosses should have much reason to struggle 🤷♂️
shrewd totem
T4 lvl26 I think is minimum with that crew and almost every(99%) F2P has that level or better ships
So definitely needs balancing
robust vapor
Just not the Franklin, omg so bad 😂
shrewd totem
😂
robust vapor
Yeah, I know my power is higher than theirs would be, but I reckon base T3 on Legionary for me would probably do it..
Piece of cake.
merry fulcrum
@shrewd totem easy solution, swipe the visa
And, no balance is needed, it's perfect
robust vapor
Perfect if you like rolling in like Godzilla and squashing everything in sight 😴 there's some challenging and engaging content.

Scopely how bout a refinery bonus again
teal jackal
Yea, that armada chest jump at 36 hurt bad...
robust vapor
No bonus refinery, I'm trying to get enough ore to donate in this mission 😂
teal jackal
I need a bonus refinery bad. Like 10 days with a 5 hour cooldown
Better yet, I need that bug where the refinery had zero cooldown. 🤣
robust vapor
I'm on slow mode currently, settling in for the long winter 😴
I can't believe Scopely still haven't opened up the economy yet though.. just about giving the whales something to do I guess.
abstract gate
What do you mean with opening up the economy?
robust vapor
I mean several of us were expecting them to start opening the resource and material taps up after they released G4 content. But instead you're just heading into a really high pay wall 😬
(And yes, I know they did technically open it up a trickle, but barely..)
cosmic sage
I've been hoping for a separatist event for a while but then I tried a boss to see how well I would do. Lol, i'd rather hit 39's. Last time I could barely kill two bosses with the bortas.
robust vapor
Yeah, way too easy now 😂
noble oar
Indeed order... the faction credit bump is kinda nice but refinery rates getting a boost would help heaps
abstract gate
Yep indeed. It’s been improving though. As it did before when 28 was the big paywall (is what people said at least)
They’ll move the needle
robust vapor
Pretty sure that they just added another paywall instead and people have been just catching up with time 😂

any chance well see normal officer and ship xp events again

42
queen geyser
Do u know if the rewards for the events change from 40to41
Or changes only at 42?
@low berry
carmine lily
Officer upgrade event is incorrect, it should be called officer recruit event since it requires getting shards to get points.
spiral forge
it is ok to swap definitively officer event by officer upgrade, and so ship event by ship upgrade. BUT PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR AND TELL US ITS THE CASE OR NOT, cause we re all stockpiling ship exp and officer exp

@twilit imp
The Rules of Acquisition group only has a single event for me. Everyone else has 3 events. Is this an error? I am level 20 and have restarted the game several times, but still only gives me the Alliance LB.
shrewd totem
@dark valley you need to be lvl23+
fossil saddle
Why is it so hard to make this events fair lvl wise. Again and again and again I have to compete with lvl 30+ as a lvl 20+ player. This is just totally stupid and it brings me further and further to never spend a dime.
So a very bad marketing.

Hi, still waiting on an answer on where our Borg Jaylah shards are. The original announcement said she would be available in solo leaderboard, premium packs, and in purple officer chests in April. April is almost over and still not in purple chests! @shrewd totem maybe has answers?
raw zenith
we do not know when the shards will be offered again.
hushed belfry
So in regards to that announcement, we were just hoodwinked by scopely?
I mean they do lots of 💩y things, but lying about that is pretty low even for scopely standards

April isnt over yet 🤷♂️

“ but will also, later on, be offered during April in officer chests” so no didnt specify 2020

Features > Quality, sad story and experience of mine in the dev business
Features get more new customers than Quality keeps old ones, is the thinking
carmine lily
it's poor thinking though, every market analyst knows that customer numbers plateau at some point and nothing they do will change that.
it's the one major flaw of capitalism, numbers can't go up forever. eventually there's either a plateau or a crash.
robust vapor
Innovate or die.
Though you're assuming that the model isn't for them to release several short term apps, profitable for a couple of years at a time at best, before releasing the next one to take its place when profits start to drop. And so on and so on. It would explain a few things..
carmine lily
@robust vapor that's exactly how the pay-to-win app business model is run.
real geyser
When do we get officer events where i can spend all this xp i have built up?
carmine lily
🤷♂️ it seems the new business model is to make you spend more valuable resources to score in those events. don't worry though, they'll amost certainly drop some bomb event on us where we have to actually spend all that xp, and it'll likely come the day after they've noticed almost all of us have spent all our hoarded xp.
vestal wedge
domination?
robust vapor
@carmine lily I got completely crazy results with lost and mined lat 😂
8222 protected, 1834 OC
Starting points in solo LB: 3,314,650
Ending points in solo LB: 3,566,025.
Points gained: 251,375
Expected by your figures; (8221 X 25) - (1834 X 30) = 205,525 - 55,020 = 150,505
Actual gain: (8,221 + 1,834) X 25 = 10,055 X 25 = 251,375.. no lost points for stolen lat?? Maybe we should go back to bugs report 😂
inner cave
Really all theses new officer/ship/research events are good, but you need to mix it up a bit, swap it about a bit between xp/power. Not continually do the same ones every day
abstract gate
Or at the very least cycle the rewards. Rn I need a lot of crystal (as do many) but the shortfall in gas is starting to become noticeable.
Also don't think we haven't noticed the move away from rss tokens to raw rss.
hardy parcel
Yeah it's never balanced, always too much of one particular material.
But then that's probably a deliberate marketing strategy
abstract gate
Rn daily 6/12hr events give either 1, ore 2, crystal 3, a pitiful mix of all 3
There's no dedicated event that gives just gas. Personally I prefer the old model of a mix of all 3 with the order of weight given to each changed on a regular basis
inner cave
We don’t have infinite number of officer tokens either.
I’ve found crystal sorely lacking in events

winged tulip
Finishing the officer events as i had a stash of ultra tokens to burn through. Now i'm out and will have to skip most of them..
shrewd totem
@winged tulip not really.You can buy faction recruit tokens from faction store or augment recruit chest with augment tokens.It costs me 300-500 fac credits to finish solo officer heroic event which gives 10m trit,3 rare and 24 unc cry.For me that is worth the credits(I am triple faction so spending the Kli credits because I wont get D4)
winged tulip
Hmm last time i checked buying the 3k faction recruits for 300 credits only got me the normal event completed, not hc. In my case i'm saving for D4 and Enterprise, spending rom credits on the normal officer event - couldn't complete the hc with it
novel jasper
If only shards for maxed officers counted! This is BS, I’m penalized for having my officer’s advanced.
shrewd totem
They do count @novel jasper
@winged tulip depends on your luck.I opened 3 fac recruit chests now and got 0 epic shards
novel jasper
Then mine is f’ed up because I got nuthin but transport patterns and few points in event.
winged tulip
It's the usual scopely bad notification - it shows the points you got for unc/rare/epic separately and think only shows the unc one.
shrewd totem
The pop up shows wrong.Take an ss of your pull,calculate it manually,check event
You will see it works
dapper drum
and if it doesn't @shrewd totem will buy you dinner
shrewd totem
😮
Not a dinner since we cant go out during quarantine,but a car would be okay I guess
abstract gate
Great advice, abandon saving credits for ships and promotions to be able to do the officer event instead...next you'll recommend just straight up spending....oh wait you did that yesterday in regards to d'vor.
novel jasper
I did the math only the gorkon shards I got counted. Everything else was TP, and didn’t count
Sorry, counted in the regular one but not in the heroic.
shrewd totem
Okay.Dont spend your credits,get 3 epic ships and try to upgrade them then without spending 👏
2 epic ships is more than enough,so you have 1 spare faction.What are you gonna do with its credits?Save in your collection and never use?
abstract gate
If you are triple locked, have your 3 fm, spending 1 type faction credits in order to get unc and rare crystal is actually good value.
As it stands, only ships for foreseeable future, and ones somewhat obtaintable should be t8+ kvort, hydra and valodore.
So, spend klingon credits...
And for completin its not luck but in long run basic math...every faction recruit chest will give you on average 270 points towards event...
So if you have 5500 points to finish, you need 20.4 chests...
shrewd totem
Spend it on officers which are very important part of the game
novel jasper
Save the third faction for a G4 miner
shrewd totem
Dont go ops39+ till they balance it
You cant progress without spending at lvl40+
My guess is they wont balance it till 5g is here which is like 1-2 years maybe?
novel jasper
There’s 4 on our server that are 45+, 2 @49 already
shrewd totem
Yeah because they spend ton of $$ which is crazy
No way you can repair ships,build,research at lvl40+.It is possible to upgrade or research but the amount of stuff you need will take a few weeks to get. 1 month for a building if you are lucky and find good bases to raid
So basically not possible to progress unless you pay
abstract gate
Math based on 1100/5500 points for officer events sais that in order to finish all officer events in one week, not counting rank events, one needs to make 26.6k points.
1 faction officer chest = 270 points; 99 chests in total...7 days, thats 14.1 chest, or 7050 faction recruit tokens...Now if you have 10mil you need to buy 3000 for 300, 3x60 for 1500, 3x80 for 1500 and 2x100 for 1000 to have enough to finish every small or big officer event.
Ofc, you can offset some of these expenses (regular chest, premium, 1 ultra chest per week through dailies, transport patterns, augment chests...) but in essence you need to spend 920 faction credits per day to do officer events
abstract gate
You dont need to guess it...
shrewd totem
🤔
abstract gate
We get exactly 5 small officer event and 4 bigger ones, with 1 overlapping (double) in 7 day period
Thats with not counting leaderboard events
shrewd totem
Really 🧐
abstract gate
Yep
shrewd totem
I would say it is pretty random,will look closely this week
abstract gate
Sorry, checked wrong sheet...its 5 small + 4 big with 1 overlapping in 9 day period.
There is no randomness in 6h/12h events they follow predictable schedule

I really wish events would be more varied, like an armada event, officer xp again... maybe a single domination every couple weeks. Bring back some older ones. Feels like the event pool is limited to 3-5 at a time for weeks

We are not getting that type officer events in EU160.. are u guys high level or is it region related? (i am lvl31 myself)
woven belfry
We don't know, but it's clear some are getting different types. Could be A/B tests, could be slow rollout of new events, could be some particular targeting (e.g. level, number of officers, server). I don't think anyone knows for sure, but you could leave feedback somewhere (e.g. channel or customer support ticket or survey) if you have an opinion

Yeah, that's why I was surprised there was no comments about it 😬
Just imagine if I was on holiday, how many things I could figure out 😂
Brassman said that he'd done it prior to mine and lost points, so something hinky somewhere.. I just wanted to see how many I lose, wasn't expecting 0 😑
shrewd totem
😂
winged tulip
if you mined 20k and lost 5k OPC, then you'd get 25k * 25 for mining it, and lose 5k*30 for the OPC, so you'd still be net up on points?
proper maths beyond me this late
frozen abyss
That is correct. You basically lose 5 points per lost latinum and gain 25 points per latinum protected.
robust vapor
Maybe you guys should review the details in my screenshots above, the math is further up too if you don't want to do it yourself also.
However, the comment was made that you don't get any points for the excess lost, hence I was testing to confirm the results. Results were unexpected.. @winged tulip @frozen abyss

then June is 30 days of data mining
@abstract gate with domination and armada event swapping every 2 days running in parallel to data 👍.
abstract gate
@patent plaza I am really hoping for another COW event. Or faction hunt. Always more faction hunt
noble oar
Wouldn't mind the next arc starting today
abstract gate
Me neither. Id expect that to coincide with the promised Borg store though. I remember they said an update needed to be done so first maintenance for that perhaps?
abstract gate
There's been a client update before each arc so far (new systems to add etc) so I'd expect to see another before arc 4/finale drops
lapis harbor
How about a separatist event haven’t had one of those in a min

It better be good...been dry for a week
solid badger
Can we get these back in time with the other events. Sucks that they are an hour off.
stable cedar
They are the same. Daylight savings time is what changed
tight kite
is there a place to see what the planned events are for the day? I'd like to know before i goto work.

Faction Hunt!

yep

And no Saladin packs?!

@abstract gate why am i getting laughed at when asking for a heads up on the events? Is it scopely's "game plan" to keep it a surprise?
I think its a reasonable request
shrewd totem
@tight kite like CheapWhisky said,Scopely doesn't like to share stuff before it happens because everything can change even at last minute so public event calendar isnt happening
abstract gate
Event calendar has been requested by the community as long as I can remember, they prefer having flexibility I suppose
hushed belfry
I would prefer if they would make a statement about borg jaylah and how she is supposed to be in our purple officer chests
shrewd totem
2 days left for April to end,they still got time 😂
tight kite
OK, ty all for the feedback.

Im just over here with my dead horse 😜

In the fraction hunt, I joined all three hunts. Federation, romulan, and Klingon hot. When I attack Klingons the game gives me credits. When I attack federation the game gives me credit. However, when I attack romulans the game refuses to give me credit. I have reset the game four times and restarted my phone once. The game refuses to give me romulan faction hunt credits.
fresh bramble
Question is there a level 18 faction hostile. It says you could get one point for them but I don't see any.
shrewd totem
@fresh bramble nope
fresh bramble
yea I did not think so
there don't seem to be any 19s either @twilit imp can you ask them to fix the score for that since there are no 18s that it should not show up as a way to get points.
abstract gate
@median slate you don’t ask what the soup of the day is before ordering?
Oh and nothing wrong with cauliflower soup!
I bet you’d like my cauliflower soup 😏
Oh sorry no propositions
If only we could have some more cow soup
I have medium high hopes for this weekend
teal jackal
@median slate I'll give you that one: there is a 95% chance that the next event with be either killing red triangles or sitting on mines (that may or may not actually exist) for hours. 😎
Seriously though, can we have another raid your neighbor event? Those are my favorite.
winged tulip
So how do you prevent me making an alt alliance and getting points for teabagging it repeatedly?
orchid halo
Good luck with that
Its a lot harder leveling than wr remember
Can take a couple months to get to level 20 without spending
abstract gate
Can they postpone Borg till May4th and give us 5 days of faction hunt like last time
Hell, postpone it till 1st of June, and give us 33 days of faction hunt
shrewd totem
🤣
warped stag
🤔

@abstract gate The 3 months of Borg stuff ended already.

Borg sphere on May the 4th?
abstract gate
Hi. Short question: Are there other events for building a fraction ship besides Military Supremacy? Just wondering if I should build now or wait (OP32).
royal spindle
When is the next mining event?
royal spindle
Ok, great 👍 tks
carmine lily
the correct answer should be: never!
teal jackal
Who knows. I've been waiting for an ISS jelly event since I hit Ops 36 three weeks ago and nothing...
dreamy root
I want a Franklin event
granite cobalt
I want to second that! @dreamy root Franklin acquisition event please.
solid badger
Dealing with the Faction daily event it is not becuase of the time change. It is literally one hour different then ALL other events.
prisma geode
I need the officer XP keep it rolling so I can max all my officers!
Between the ultra recruit tokens, officer XP, and faction credits it’s probably the best rewards for event in the game at the moment.
merry fulcrum
Hmmm, fractured empire
Also it's the event that requires the most effort
So it should be the best
prisma geode
Add pike, Moreau ,Chen. Doesn’t even cost that much in ship repairs
daring thistle
Cactus, I’ve been waiting for that since August.
merry fulcrum
No, it's the most because of the amount of hostiles you have to kill, it's upwards of about 300 even with pike @shrewd totem
carmine lily
it's not actually, all you have to do is deal the damage. that's most easily achieved by hitting the bosses, even if you don't kill them.
robust vapor
And you really don't need much to kill a boss outright anymore..
I reckon with a Kumak crew that Batman suggested I could kill a boss with as little as 400k level 26 faction ship, or close to 🤷♂️
shrewd totem
And at lvl26 that would finish your solo event
carmine lily
that's exactly what i did, one shot bosses with a legionary with burning crew
merry fulcrum
I meant faction hunt @carmine lily@shrewd totem
shrewd totem
You said Fractured empire 🤷♂️
merry fulcrum
I was saying that for your comment on faction hunt being the best event
shrewd totem
I didnt said fac hunt is the best event?
carmine lily
i actually really liked crucible of war. only event so far to require a concerted alliance effort and felt like an actual competition.
but yeah faction hunt requires a good number of kills. 183 for me.
dreamy root
#new events
sleek hornet
What's the timing between Jelly Pursuit events? 1 month or 2 months?
robust vapor
I think it's less Pike and more the massive buff to ships that everyone got..
teal jackal
it was also designed before the combat rework in December. I don't think we've had one since than.
teal jackal
I think it was the week before the combat update. Update was Dec 16 IIRC
meager galleon
Last time we had to kill Separatist bosses was certainly after combat update
robust vapor
Pike makes a huge difference, but now everyone has stronger ships and I can do better with Kumak in a T2 legionary than I could do with a T4 or 5 Bortas before the buff.. it's on easy mode now 😬
Everything is easy with Pike 😂 but not everyone has him, but probably everyone who needs the bosses will have a buffed ship 🤷♂️
drifting bridge
Well these new daily events suck. Pay to win dailies. Yay
dapper drum
should have stayed low level for the good stuff
radiant flicker
@twilit imp plz tell me how to use g4 parts to score in that new event with ops 40 if i need shipyard 41 to build some g4 ships???? Totally senseless .... yes there is a jelly at shipyard 39 but if i dont have won a jelly event i dont got it .... also no g4 battleship, survey or destroyer at ops 40 so how spend u g4 shipparts lol
robust vapor
It's a leaderboard event, they're generally for spenders anyway 😬
drifting bridge
Not seen this one before today
robust vapor
They starting changing then a few weeks ago now I think b🤔
Personally I'm not fussed either way.. old ship XP events were silly. You get so little XP and the solo milestone rewards were mostly officer XP and tokens; now I get some resources and materials when I'm upgrading a ship that I was already upgrading 🤷♂️
Same with research events and officer XP events. Moving to new formats.
drifting bridge
Have you seen this one non leader board?
robust vapor
Oh yeah, few times now. Got two gold ones simultaneously last week 👍
shrewd totem
@drifting bridge did you level up recently?
drifting bridge
Ah ok, not too bad then. Id actually saved up xp to use on a ship for scrapping, was waiting for an event 🤦♂️
@shrewd totem went to 32 last week, but a lvl 19 in my alliance has same event
robust vapor
Doesn't mean they'll never be back.. but now they're material spend events.
shrewd totem
After lvl15 you start to see those events
drifting bridge
G2 mats though of course
shrewd totem
Before that it is normal ship exp
drifting bridge
Ah ok. Did they stagger release by servers? On an EU one
shrewd totem
🤷♂️
robust vapor
Release schedule wouldn't be a known thing unless players came up and said when it happened 😬 but I do know that not every server had them when my server did.
shrewd totem
Only a few servers have these new events
weak thunder
is borg event done or will there be another arc?
flat fog
Just got this event too for the first time today, been 32 for awhile
robust vapor
@weak thunder there's some "final showdown" coming and an event store. NFI on the specifics though 😬
hybrid ibex
These ship events have been running on some servers for a while. Just like they are replacing the officer xp events with officer shard events and research power gained events with resources spent on research events. ....
open steppe
uneven wave
We have had these for a few weeks, I prefer them
abstract gate
No rss tokens, no mix of g3, unsustainable spend required to maintain...yeah they're much better 👍 /sarcasm
raw zenith
oh today is complain day. Haven't had one of those in a while. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!
crisp jasper
We just got the ship upgrade event - does that mean we get the garbage officer event now?
I do like the new research event though
raw zenith
i like the events. Won the officer ranked one the other day. 5k lat was great
crisp jasper
Is there a new station upgrade event? The old research and station events were awful. The old officer events were good
raw zenith
i do not know
merry fulcrum
Old station events are easy
crisp jasper
And ship upgrade replaces ship XP event? That's a good change too. I guess it's really just the officer event that isn't so good?
merry fulcrum
Just do a defense platform
crisp jasper
The old station events were garbage.
hardy parcel
I'm waiting for an improved station event tbh 🙏
abstract gate
I vote for a combination of both event types.
mighty summit
Pls can we have an event that doesn’t involve mining but does include bonus refinery? I am so short of uncommon materials!!!
floral trail
I voted for a Sepratist event, been ages since we had one.
merry fulcrum
Yes please
floral trail
Another Faction hunt would also be handy, but please people, not mining!! lol
