i regret getting a gladius in some sort of way though
although, gladius breaks through bases quite nicely as well
Gladius is best lvl 32 ship. For everything
not for pvp.
In my opinion at least...
good addition
haha
🤣🤣
🤣
I don't do much ship to ship pvp
shrewd totem
Brel is the best lvl32!
abstract gate
But from what I've seen, gladius tears apart bases and armadas
Far better than Intrepid
ship ability from gladius doesnt work on armadas 💩
but still rocks
shrewd totem
Nah Trep is best for armadas but need to be T6+ with good crew

sorry you are all wrong
triangle also impacts armadas
with these words, im gonna get back to work 😉
During the last separatist event Gladius was killing 5 times more bosses than Intrepid or Brel

I'm hoping it's an event or gift reward. Hating all these credit card to win events. It's ruining the game.

i never used my original ones and still have 259 to convert.

Is there a reason why I no longer see the Klingon Reputation Event? I see Federation and Romulan but no Klingon?
robust vapor
What's your Klingon reputation @versed shard ?
versed shard
It used to be Tolerated but then all of a sudden 2 days ago it became untrustworthy
sage nova
@versed shard did you do a mission that hurt your kling rep?
cosmic sage
dailies would do that also
versed shard
To be honest I don't know why the reputation with them took such a drastic dive. I must have. I was trying to build Klingon and Fed.
But now seems there's not a whole lot I can do to rebuild
cosmic sage
uh so don't try to keep three positive at once unless you have one locked in at 10 million
everything that gives you positive rep will give you negative rep with the other two
versed shard
No I was trying to build Fed and Klingon and whack Romulan
cosmic sage
ah ok so it was probably your fed dailies that di d it
versed shard
So is the Untrustworthy status the reason why I no longer see the Klingon Rep event? Would building Klingon Rep back to at least Neutral make it re-appear?
cosmic sage
I'm not sure about what level it needs to be at but it would
versed shard
Ok, that's what I suspected
cosmic sage
It also lags behind your rep change and won't show up until the events reset
versed shard
Well I haven't seen the Klingon Rep event for a few days now
robust vapor
Get it back into positive and it'll pop up again
unreal osprey
i cant see the latinum in the event store
versed shard
@robust vapor That's the problem. There doesn't seem to be much I can do at the moment to rebuild Klingon Rep
cosmic sage
If it's fed and Klingon you want to have I would stop doing the fed dailies and just kill Romulans and turn in Klingon dailies until they get caught up.
killing romulans will help the most with klingon
and missions
robust vapor
What power ship do you have and do you have Pike and Moreau? 🤔
versed shard
I don't see Klingon Dailies either. My faction dailies are Fed Warroir, Romulan Warrior, Fed Champion, Romulan Champion, Miner and excavator. No Klingon.
robust vapor
And kill traders specifically for better rep.
cosmic sage
well when you kill enough romulans they will show up
versed shard
I'm level 18 so not there yet @robust vapor
robust vapor
Yes. You need positive reputation to get the dailies and events.
versed shard
@cosmic sage I suspect that's what I'll have to do
robust vapor
Just kill the low level traders then, and stop doing any missions that aren't Klingon 😅
You should save the other faction n missions for later anyway, do them to help with triple faction later on.
obtuse otter
Why worry about triple faction at 18? Can't have others locked yet, right? 🤔
sage nova
yeah that will slow you down alot trying to balance all three
when you get pike and moreau thats a quick fix
versed shard
@obtuse otter I'm not worried about triple faction and wasn't trying to balance all three. Was trying to build Fed and Klingon then I did something that made Klingon dive to untrustworthy and Romulan rise to neutral
robust vapor
I'm saying save the missions for it later.
versed shard
er Romulan rise to Tolerated I mean
obtuse otter
Not really even possible to balance all 3. Need at least 1 locked
robust vapor
He's not trying to 🤫
versed shard
@robust vapor Thanks, I'll archive them and save them for later.
robust vapor
They'll only reduce your other factions now anyway, but some of them give lots of rep and will help max out the third down the road 👍
versed shard
@obtuse otter Sorry for the dumb question but what do you mean by Need at least 1 locked ?
@robust vapor Perfect! Thanks
robust vapor
Reputation won't drop below 10m once you get to that point.
obtuse otter
Rom probably better than Klingon anyway. I'd go Rom if I started over with game the way it is now
cosmic sage
every faction daily will give you something like +8 for that faction and -4 for the other two. If you try to go triple faction you won't get anywhere
robust vapor
😑 he's not trying to go triple
versed shard
Again, not trying to go for triple faction
cosmic sage
I'm elaborating on why you need one locked to do triple
robust vapor
Without half the details 😂
cosmic sage
sssshhhh
versed shard
@cosmic sage Ah, got it. I believe that's a long way off for me but noted, thanks
robust vapor
Just archive the missions for the faction you don't want. stop doing dailies, events and missions for the one that's still positive. Start doing missions for the one you want to raise and kill as many hostiles that will give you rep for them.
Just make sure you don't drop the other one too much, balancing act.
When you get them both positive, you'll want to get them to the same reputation roughly. They'll hit different tiers for events and dailies otherwise and 1 will give/take more points 😬
robust vapor
Eventually you'll hit 10m in these two though, then you'll probably want to lock in all 3 😁
cosmic sage
The main reason I ended up dual faction was because someone lied to me and told me they got jelly prints from romulans
so I killed lots of romulans lol

Jelly bps were dropping from reds in oct/nov/dec of 2018... That was patched and disabled before new year of 2019

shrewd totem
I have 10-20 extra Jelly bps for example

Unless the ability to collect Borg War Points are increased suspect not many will reach the 128k milestone to attack the Mega Cube. We are easily in the top 10 of active alliances in our server and only just reached 67k.

Only 10 alliances total have scored in borgmada lb so far on mine. We are 1st on that lb and should hit 1st m€ga c€bu milestone after reset today....if mega cubes are supposed to be engaged by multiple alliances to take down I think ours will be staying put...

The ONLY good thing is changing armada timer to 5 minutes- I hope they add that to normal armadas
The ONLY good thing is changing armada timer to 5 minutes- I hope they add that to normal armadas
kindred arch
They should have added specific mobs to systems.. like lvl30 with lvl30 borg probes
chilly venture
At least this time there are enough armadas and respawn for everyone, that has to be noted
shrewd totem
If they combined normal armadas with Borg stuff,I think we would have somewhat okay thing to do.Normal armada rewards+5 min time and borgmada respawn rate
chilly venture
I agree.
shrewd totem
But current version feels like it got rushed and everything related to armadas is incomplete
burnt osprey
For armadas does having the ship pointed at the base make any difference?
modern estuary
i dont think reducing timers on normal armadas would work for the high level ones as they are often out in deep space which can take time to warp to maybe allow the fleet boss activate it earlier if all fleet members are there before the 15 min timer has reached
shrewd totem
Reach there then start?
modern estuary
@burnt osprey no so long as they are all in the circle and not moving they will hit the armada
@shrewd totem that will not work either as you will warp all the way out then someone else starts it
burnt osprey
I heard that we get better numbers if the ship is facing the target, stfc legend?
shrewd totem
If respawn rate is like borgmadas that wont be an issue
We did a borgmada(epic) and it respawn after 5-10mins
modern estuary
it would be easier just left the fleet boss hit attack now when they are all there
shrewd totem
Yes but that looks harder for Scopely to do than just decreasing respawn rate and timer

@shrewd totem maybe they could have run normal armadas and made the event points as part of that structure for starting and running armadas and still giving out normal rewards. Would have been much better?

Sure.There are ton of ways to make it better but wont change anything because they cant do changes to the events that is running currently
Look at 2nd PvP event for example.It was bugged and never got it back after it got pulled

@noble oar dont jinx it lol

Easy doesn't mean good and I wouldn't call the rewards that awesome either. As it is I'm mainly referring to how boring it is to just have a few days of running armadas, an unpopular feature made worse, that gives less rewards than a single probe of a decent level of themselves
spare perch
its so poorly designed that its hilarious for like 2 days
they learned by adding plenty of targets in the same location, but having our 60+ active players all complete the 5 armadas they need...

upbeat wedge
I dont see borgmadas being something people will do outside of an event structure. Without the event store who is going to coordinate the process, obtain and spend the special cells and directives all for 100 or 200 inert probes?
abstract gate
They're not intended for that purpose. They are purely for events, indicated by how any left-over directives will expire.
The probes are just there so they 'drop' something but the real rewards are from events.
These can be tweaked more easily in the future as well, whereas if you change the loot that a hostile drops - you have to clear out any existing hostiles first for the changes to take effect.

@severe bridge my epic borg point to war armada converter disappeared also!

@hybrid ibex @severe bridge this may answer the question.

Mine disappeared too - as said above used all in first “epic” event. They were replaced, as promised, was down to 9 after today’s conversion then gone
hybrid ibex
@robust vapor thanks for posting that
robust vapor
@river kayak the last part of that comment says that they'll be increasing the amount to be converted to allow players to get rid of the last 9. It reads like it should have already happened, but maybe give it a few hours and then check with a mod if the option hasn't returned to your event store.

The next ISS Jellyfish event is going to be insane. People have been saving up for at least 2 months. 🤣

@crisp lake cadet uhura and tlaan do not work vs armadas, nor does Chen. Keep Gaila if you want, use morale crew (Kirk, Spock) or burning crew (Kumak, Nero) if you don't have borg.
dreamy root
@teal jackal how do u save up for it?
pulsar hound
By not spending? 🤷♂️
teal jackal
Not upgrading ships.
carmine lily
it's never about saving, it's always about who spends more. everyone always ends up saving roughly the same amount, you gotta buy more to get ahead.
robust vapor
You can stockpile by slowing down your upgrades though, or stopping altogether, so that you have a higher amount to start with when the event comes around.
carmine lily
that's exactly what everyone does. none of the 37s have upgrade anything at all in months.
robust vapor
So they're all saving up then 😋
hidden turtle
@carmine lily I beg to differ. I haven't been doing any 3* material requiring research, upgrafing any ship, building, etc. My alliance members ar3 progressing where I am not. It makes such a huge difference, and I have a LOT of 3* uncommonsa and rares saved up, it should make a difference.
But I gotta say, the design decision that makes you hold back from progressing for such long term in order to get a gamechanger ship is possibly the worst game design decision I've ever seen. I am frustrated on the verge of quitting game because of this, and I am not alone feeling such.
ashen wharf
i have been saving for 4 months now
i barely am at 6k of each uncommon
thats only 3 parts OF ONE SHIP to what i want to upgrade
robust vapor
@hidden turtle I think what he was getting at is that everyone is doing it, not just you. So the net effect is that you'll blow through a stack of resources and end up just like everyone else. If you're looking to win by saving up this may not be the event to aim for 😅 in a month or three (assuming monthly event cycle resumes) when everyone has spent up again might be better.. though impossible to predict what people will do 😬
oak bobcat
In what level does the event start? I am level 37. And on our server there are only three players in level 36 and above (including me). One of them already has the ISS Jellyfish.

@oak bobcat 36, but they didn't run last month. Meant to be coming soon..
You can get more than 1 too 😅

@stable heron dont. You wont get any rewards from the Ally war effort Event If you Join a new alliance now.
winged tulip
Thing is, by the time you're at jellyfish levels, i don't think it matters how much g3 you've saved up, there will always be a few people willing to buy enough packs to dwarf what you've stockpiled. Sure it might mean you need to buy less, but the way i see it at the moment you're not getting a jellyfish without outspending the rest.
weak copper
From what I can see, a lot of people with the jellyfish have jumped up several levels quite quickly to get one. Which implies they’ve just spent their way to getting it.
hidden turtle
@robust vapor fair point, so the criteria becomes how long we have been saving. I'm at a point where pack buying the difference I saved is extremely expensive (that's more than 4-5 months). But this also intensifies my statement about how bad a design decision this is. I mean we are not progressing for months and most people are stuck at 36, not knowing even whether there will be another of these events for sure. Just imagine you are not one of the 2 people in your server winning the slb after that.
robust vapor
@hidden turtle panic did say it was coming! .. so I guess it's 50/50 😂

The event is kind of nice, especially the event store is way better than the last installment, i just can't see how to reach to mega cube directives. My alliance has 35 active members and we are 60k points short to reach the alliance ladder tier. If there no big change the event ends for us tomorrow. The event store is very good and it was nice, if it ends this way tomorrow
unreal osprey
@split plover the store itself is great, the problem is that most things are very expensive for the few points they give
winged tulip
This would really be fun if we didn't have to coordinate 50 people trying to join the same 3 armadas, and 35 of them getting butthurt when they're dropped.
So 'best' crew for a 5 man epic armada is something along the lines of 1x 7/8/9cap, 3x 7/8cap/9, 1x 7/8cap/gorkon?
earnest citrus
For armada's you'd never use 7 as Capt, his ability only works on probes
winged tulip
yeah i know - captains either 8 or 9, one 9 for crit reduction, 1 gorkon for breaches
earnest citrus
Oh right, I see it now, used to the usual cap/officer/officer notation
winged tulip
Aye can never decide to show it logically with first as cap or matching in game with middle cap, so made something up and confused everyone even more 😄
earnest citrus
But yeah, 1 x 9cap, with the rest 8 caps and one of them with Gorkon should be fine. We've used similar setups and they've been great. I've found the 9cap ship tends to become the primary target though, so might want to have someone with a beefy Vi'dar run that.
winged tulip
Oops - we've been suggesting weakest ship uses 9 as they'll do less damage from crits anyway..
have been wondering if the weakest ship is targetted more often anyway in armadas though as there have been some very unlucky hit streaks blowing up weaker ships!
earnest citrus
I had a run of about 3-4 armadas where every single the time the sole 9 ship was blown up, and the others, of both higher and lower power, either escaped or got destroyed themselves.

Personally If I can farm it I won't buy it. Uncommon, bps, independent credits and offices are what I normally do.
Though rss can be raided for, modules can be stolen or farmed easily enough, etc
If you can get 10 of 10 he will help a lot long term. If you don't have Franklin then grab that as you get 20m tri and khan officers each week. Etc.
Lot cheaper in repairs than even a brel hunting
Do the swarm research if you are needing modules. It will help more long-term than a few extra modules.
merry fulcrum
@ancient hatch I just bought a bunch of uncommons,can't go wrong with uncommons
stuck geode
Specially when you need 4.6k gas for one shield upgrade. 😭
ancient hatch
@ancient hatch I bought franklin bps. only have 45 now so I will either spend real money when I'm drunk and impatient or wait for the next major event to get the remainder
@frail ice I have my Frank just getting Modulators is a PIA

So I don't need to spend all my salvage scrap today....I can use it for another 10 days?
nova valley
Correct
haughty swallow
Thank you people
Can I just say my server is also unimpressed with borg cubes
They should have put vidar parts in them....yknow instead of nanoprobes, the refined version
teal jackal
I pretty much agree with @stuck geode . FMs are very easy to farm. Just takes time. get things that take a lot of time or you cannot grind for
They would have put ANYTHING in the Borg cubes and it would be better
knotty birch
Just make the event doable for active alliances irrespective of size, I.e very active alliances of 30-40 players are screwed despite having done and contributed to the first 3 arcs and told to f?!k off for the final arc where the end prizes are paid out. Way to go. This is borderline criminal in terms of not explicitly saying that a 30-40 person alliance cannot complete and SHOULD NOT invest.
In fact we were told to keep going as the points would increase significantly and all would be ok and we could complete.
carmine lily
@knotty birchIt seems very likely that near the end of the arc points will increase dramatically, likely in the way of multiple easy to complete solo events and missions. In the past they've done pretty well to make sure most people have a good shot at completing or mostly completing events. We're only about halfway through the arc at this point. If at the end of the your group and many others were unable to complete a significant portion of the event, raise a protest then. It's been proven to work in the past.
unreal osprey
@carmine lily I hope it's true
carmine lily
🤷♂️ it's worked out every time so far. we've had low groups in our server that never thought they'd finish that managed to scrape by at the end.
if enough people hit their 100% goals it's possible.
knotty birch
Did the math with @shrewd totem earlier and he can tell you we have hit 100% of targets with 30 out of 32 players.
carmine lily
that's pretty good then. keep that up and you shouldn't have any problems. one of our baby alliances had around 30 the last arc and were able to finish everything.
knotty birch
Errr we’re ain’t a baby alliance! 😂 just a deliberately small number of experienced and higher level players to cut down on drama. We did the last alliance grind in just over a day but that was purely effort rather than size based. We’re still sat at 4th in the borgmada alliance event on a very active sever, with 4 players in the solo top 10 which is why I’m questioning the structure of the event.
carmine lily
We tend to call any alliance with less than 40 players a baby alliance regardless of the power levels.
knotty birch
Who’s we? Boy I wish we were on the same server!
carmine lily
pretty much all the alliances that have near max number of members.
all our top 30 alliances are at or near max number of players.
knotty birch
Not on our server - guess they are less arrogant where we play. I was XO of the biggest alliance on our server before we split off to start this alliance 😂
carmine lily
It's not really arrogance, it's just that alliances that are half full or less are considered babies. mostly because those that are still active are made up of outcasts from other alliances.
someone gets kicked and forms their own alliance we call it a baby alliance.
if it manages to grow beyond 50% strength it gets more respect.
keen ledge
I'd roll with @knotty birch anytime. I have a feeling that group is well organized, motivated, and keeps their drama to themselves.
abstract gate
Hi

Hi, Prock

Good, just watching random movies. You?

Just playing the game. Got my intrepid tiered to 6 yesterday 🎉

he should murder other interceptors
keen ledge
Lol. I have favorite officer conflicts a lot. I wish I could have multiple copies of a few.
abstract gate
i just crushed in a 1.375 sally by 1.1m using Kirk Spock Bones (400% spock) by a Carol (cap) Kang (400%) Gorkon setup
which reminds me, imma go put a little something in #💭-suggestions
carmine lily
gotta love the impossible officer numbers.
knotty birch
@keen ledge -spot in. The fact somebody who has no idea about our alliance assumes people got kicked to form it proves my point about arrogance. We each chose to leave alliances to form our group. Every single player is hand picked, highly active, low drama. We are the 9th strongest alliance on our server with only 32 players, regularly win or place top 3 in alliance events and most importantly a very strongly adhered to ethos that binds us.
carmine lily
Didn't assume someone got kicked, it was just an example.
not sure why you keep assuming arrogance.
knotty birch
Maybe because that’s how you come across?
carmine lily
I don't think so at all.
my server acts a certain way and to everyone there it's normal. I was just describing how my server views things. Lots of servers have different cultures, both ingame and in real life.
abstract gate
@keen ledge was just looking and now my problem is if i remove any other officer my other stats will drop below what kang can do 😢
potent oxide
Can anyone tell me, with which reputation faction does augur bp appear in event store? The kvort bp appear today and i have 350k klingon reputation.
abstract gate
I believe only at 10M
10mil rom @potent oxide
Also need to be ops 33 minimum
If you mean the d4...same answer but klingons
And if you meant B'rel 1mil Klingon and lvl31
9 hours until phase 3 of the playerbase backlash. Mega cube warp coil$ incoming....should probably activate slowdown mode here now just to be safe.
potent oxide
But kvort need to be 500k and i hve access to them with 350k... Bp in event store.
potent oxide
@shrewd totem thanks mate!
analog yarrow
How quickly can you lock a faction at level 30?
I'm currently dual factioning with Fed and Rom at about 1.5m
10m feels like a long way away!
dapper drum
in a day if you wanted to
granite zenith
can you kill lvl 39 ships?
analog yarrow
Probably not if i wanted to do more than 1 at a time. Pike is eluding me which isn't helping
granite zenith
well don't be in a hurry to lock then... when you can easily kill 25 or more 39s... then you should be close
analog yarrow
I've heard rev talking trying to lock at level 28 which sounds crazy
Assume the trick is just killing traders?
granite zenith
if you try to get too far ahead of yourself... you will get frustrated and not enjoy the game itself
analog yarrow
Yeah, just see how it goes. Currently the biggest challenge is keeping the 2 factions balanced when transitioning to new tiers or reputation
Anyway, probably the wrong channel for this. Are we all enjoying the event? 😆
granite zenith
im having a blast
analog yarrow
It's looking like my alliance will take 1st so I should be getting a nice gold frame later
lyric sun
I'm lvl 24, can I expect ns bps in event store?
inner grail
Do I have any chances to take this quest borg probe with my vidar? Art of misdirection
dapper drum
vidar won't matter
its not an actual probe
its a yellow use cadet crew on a regular ship
inner grail
so should I sent there kumari?
dapper drum
overkill but yeah
lyric sun
So I have 46 bps of ns and need to build it, what should in expect for ns BPz?
At lvl 24 or 25
And, Only vdar dvor and Frankin in event store, no lvl 26 ships.
dapper drum
then you have no chance of NS now
same with jelly you lose chance once you goto lvl 18
inner grail
is there any chance to get it under 18?
dapper drum
should be able to buy it in the store though once a mining event is on
no you can't get NS until lvl 18
inner grail
jelly
dapper drum
when jelly bps swap to NS
granite zenith
actually pound for pound... the Vidar outperforms the NS and the 26 ships
dapper drum
yeah but the vidar doesn't mine at 30k/hr
granite zenith
i never used the ns when i had it ... not for mining
dapper drum
also can't go warp range 44 at warp 16.5
NS has helped me finish dailes and events when I've been to lazy to start them until its too late
granite zenith
once or twice even at ops 33 i've seen the ns blueprints pop in the $$ store... but very rarely
dapper drum
yeah during mega miner events
I think its anyone lvl 18+
20$ little man put that 💩 in my hand
if that money doesn't show then you owe me owe me owe
granite zenith
might buy it again one day... to complete the colection
dapper drum
I love my warp missile
50k trit to repair great for taking out nasties that you can't beat
granite zenith
i dont think i leveled it above like 120k before i scraped it
dapper drum
2 1/2 mins to any lvl 40 system
based out of kepler
well any system under warp range 44
granite zenith
i understand the pros... just never liked it... didn't fit my playstyle
dapper drum
its 20 seconds to a node in davidul
1 minute round trip
8k protected mines like a beast
but back in the day before they adjusted the g3 ships it was a mission completer
and helped with swarms too when they first came out
granite zenith
when the ns came out i had 2 horizons and a kumari... just never clicked with me
lyric sun
So, I guess need to wait for mega mining event and purchase is only option now, and 46 bps that j have will be a waste
abstract gate
Lvl38 and still use my ns on the regular...best ship in the game until g4
abstract gate
What for exactly?
velvet crypt
does anybody knows if nero crew gives damage multiplier for Borg Armadas like they do for normal Armadas and Separatists ?
abstract gate
Yes it does. As far as I know
gusty glen
@lyric sun north star bps were in my event store a few days ago but have disappeared now. They were when I was ops 22 I think. During the event I advanced to ops 25 but they've disappeared.
abstract gate
@abstract gate sneaky mining during wars, as a swap ship during events. At my level it's versatility isn't what it was 10 lvls before but it still gets used. I have 2 t5 and 1 t4 faction miners so I use it every day to finish off rom dailys for the t4 (I'm a bit ocd about all 3 being finished at the same time lol)
stray otter
The Borg cube is stronger than it was yesterday.💩
floral trail
@abstract gate I still use my NS (Ops33) for swapping out miners, and when we're at war (its alot cheaper on repairs than my faction miners when your getting hit all of the time). Its also good for doing dailies with a horizon/faction miner on one node and the NS on another with the Morale Crew since its mining speed is fast enough without needing a dedicated officer.. Its pretty versatile and has lasted me a good few levels. Its also a fast warper with helvia for claiming nodes, or doing missions
floral trail
It has been offered to me as well (usually during mining events) and mine is still alive and well @stone grail
cosmic sage
No
serene forum
are we going to need to buy the Mega transwarp cells?
modern estuary
@abstract gate they are going to be added to epic recruit but not til after the mega boring event
abstract gate
@serene forum probably be able to get them for borg salvage in limited amounts. For the spenders there'll likely be a pack offering them and mc directives....pure speculation though
earnest citrus
Everyone is gonna get some Mega Transwarp Cells for free, and can probably buy extra if needed.
abstract gate
😂 good one

9 more days borg armadas 👎👎👎

Looks like more of the same borgmada unless you're capable of killing a megacube?
abstract gate
Yea...

That event is pure 💩😡 9 days of that? It s a game not a full time job 😡
unreal osprey
same event only with the megacube...

so all the hype of an incoming mega cube an its pay only?
unreal osprey
nice 💩

teal jackal
so wait, each person can only start 2 mega cubes? One for the first mega tier in alliance event? And one once the event is completely done? Otherwise you have to buy in store. That's ridiculous.

Not even gonna mix it up a little for the sub 25 players, eh?

@trim hemlock they haven't really mixed it up for any level of player 🥱

@abstract gate they are going to be added to epic recruit but not til after the mega boring event
@modern estuary epic recruit or ultra recruit ?
lucid plover
Cant even get to the system without putting cadet scotty on the bridge of the Vidal or spending res upgrading I would much rather spend on more useful ships
Warp 33 required which is a tier 4 vidal with warp engines upgraded
dry slate
Good news. For a 1.7m vidar team it would only take 45 times to defeat 1 mega cube armada. Bargain.
restive inlet
Did some alliance on other servers can win the ally milestone event? 🧐
severe bridge
well the mega borg cubes are tough. that's for sure
low berry
@dry slate can you post battle ss??
woven belfry
I won't be able to log in until later - how strong are the borg megacubes? Will it really take 45 hits or is that exageration? Makes sense they'd be tough and I saw it would take multiple but that seems a lot. Glad they're tougher than the cubes though, wouldn't make sense for them to be super easy
lucid plover
@dry slate what crews are you using ?
dry slate
No idea but I have not seen anyone do more then a scratch at a time
I was expecting like 4 hits but as a 1.7m team can breeze an 38m uc. But nope. It's tragic. Good luck all.
Better then anyone on our server so far

ANyone try any alternative crew loadouts for the megacube? like burning/hull breach etc?

Well, Borgs are really a threat it seems 😅

its intersting to launch them, but whos gonna participate?

Scopely has really outdone itself. I dont even want to discuss how stupid the megacubes (and new missions) are. Most dissapointing event ever.

hey .. wheres that .. scopely will get better .. crowd at..
plucky ermine
the megacube itself is just: Start 2 armades for your f2p directives and collect some warfunds for the store - thats it.

Must.. be .. hiding..

A server-wider MS event to take down the cube could have been an idea.

Are those new mission strings broken or 2 missions with crappy rewards are it??
earnest hornet
@winter token you tried the Tractor beam, which is powerful against interceptors... what are the vidars, think battle triangle
torpid canyon
Need multiAlliance cooperation for any chance of winning against a Mega armada
earnest hornet
Yeah, people obviously don’t remember Seperatist bosses 😂 these are basically separatist event bosses where teams attack and attack, until one gets the final kill
solemn sequoia
Half the server was able to 1 for 1 those things
These days you can 1 for 500 them
earnest hornet
Haha yeah they came out when I was early 20s, was no way I could kill one of those, the bosses were huge, compared to the normal separatists
solemn sequoia
Yea for the first one i was the same
by the time the second wave rolled around i was able to down one
These days with pike you can sit there farming them all day
sonic belfry
Quit at least I enjoyed flinging my ship against bosses over and over again, no special tokens or cella needed...
I’m waiting in the mega cube - going to let the server mash their heads against it before moving in in an educated manner.
young pike
Was told 6 maxed Vidars hardly dented it
earnest hornet
Haha yea I know right its fun now being able to kill them
Remember there are different types. If your using vidars don’t go against the Tractor Beam armada
abstract gate
So to destroy a cube all 10 targe5s in a system need to be killed?...considering only 10 alliances were on the last alb and half of them were under 50k points I doubt our server is clearing a system
earnest hornet
No this isn’t about clearing a system
abstract gate
So which system is weak against vidars?
lament horizon
This event is an utter disappointment and making me seriously considering quitting the game entirely
abstract gate
Bye
earnest hornet
It’s not a system, each system has three different types:
-Mega cube disruptor strong against Explorers
-MC Tractor beam strong against Interceptors
-MC Photon Canon strong against battleships
See a pattern. Where else do we see that pattern. Battle triangle
abstract gate
It's a crap event...worthy of a table flip and quit? Not quite, the event store is decent and alliance milestone event has a nice amount of independent credits
earnest hornet
But yes I do agree,
knotty birch
It’s a heap of 💩
earnest hornet
So reverse engineer that battle triangle in these armadas,
- MC disruptor strong against explorers, like a battleship is, so try interceptors
-MC Tractor beam strong against Interceptors, like an explorer is, so try battleship
-MC Photon Canon strong against battleships, like an interceptor is, so try explorer
See a pattern. Where else do we see that pattern. Battle triangle
simple spear
Even attacking the disrupters it still kills all ships by round 2 with all vidar
earnest hornet
Yup, what else are interceptors not just vidars
Have to think outside the box...cube 😂
simple spear
I have a battle report showing it firing 22x for over 100k damage, 4 those shots are over 400k. Doesn't matter what you use you will die
earnest hornet
Yeah, this was never going to be 1 armada to kill, always had to be a multiple attack
meager galleon
Or invent something new and let 30/40/50 ships enter the Armada zone
severe bridge
the difficultly level from an epic to a mega, went up exponentially
meager galleon
But that’s too complicated I guess
earnest hornet
I do agree, there should’ve been a better damage done event rather then just a rank event
meager galleon
Not a hard concept, a 10 year old could have thought up something more interesting

I was hoping for a solid milestone damage vs mega cube
meager galleon
And that’s potentially insulting to ten year olds
severe bridge
lol

Solo*

back to UC armadas, get my points and move on!

Yeah I did my 5 uc and spent the mega directives for a smidge more war point things
That's the end I spose

shrewd tinsel
Is this where I file my event complaint?
cedar plinth
to file a complaint there is a 99.99$ pack for that now
it's actually part of the pack you get the Mega Borg Transwarp Cells in, so you can make more then the 4 trips you need to take one down
shrewd tinsel
Oh cool, does it reduce the time it takes to run 40 armadas in a row too?
cedar plinth
no.....it actually adds 5 min for the time you will need to write your complaint
amber talon
Are there going to be future events that require using officer XP or have those been phased out? I’m wondering if it benefits me to hold on to XP and hold off on upgrading officers.
cedar plinth
@amber talon there was talk on a few discords, that they are going to be brining them back
amber talon
Oh? I’m wondering if those conversations were speculative or if they were based on statements made by scopely.
cedar plinth
Comments made by Scopely
amber talon
Ah, thanks! I guess I’ll hold on to the XP and not upgrade officers for now.

I know, I have been sitting on millions of XP as well
amber talon
One of my teammates said he has 8 million saved. I’m like 😦
limpid thistle
If you’ve dumped loadsa cash into your vidar you and 4 similarly minded mates can buy a few packs each and do an armada that gets you some inert nanoprobes. Not exactly the ‘pinnacle’ of alliance events to be completed by a range from f2p to whales

Read up Kanu. Those that have spent serious cash on their vidar with 4/5 mates can beat em after they’ve all bought a few packs, ofcourse
If you think some form of well organised alliance cooperation would beat it you are wrong I’m afraid

You think I am doing YouTube videos.I think that shows how little you know about stuff around here
knotty birch
Anybody upset about not getting to fight megacubes - forget it. You would need 10 rounds with 6 fully tiered ViDars etc to get close
abstract gate
The key is to rob a bank, go to the store and buy all the itunes/play gift cards you can. After about $120k you might be half-way to killing 1/3 of the megacube.
limpid thistle
Guess you can’t start a conversation that’s not popular

Or a load of tiered up 4* ships

Lol not at their repair costs

I’ve seen g4ers with only 20 or so repairs in them (4/5 bil trit)

I am only doing first 500 points for alliance event.That takes 25 mins then back to do other stuff

But back to the point. How does your 25 mins equate to the ‘pinnacle’ of 3 months worth of events?

Meh I am not going to waste my time complaining in here because it will do basically nothing.Instead I will give proper feedback when it is needed 🤷♂️
limpid thistle
Brilliant. Well done 😂🤣
unkempt tinsel
You don’t have to beat the cube folks. You get 5000 pts toward solo milestone each just for launching it. It’s designed to be a multi hit across multi alliance type thing. Work within your alliance and with your allies.

The uncommon targets are still there to finish at least the first 2

I’ve been getting about 2 free directives per day

Not event, event STORE

Event store is same as others

What you get?7k funds?What can you buy for that?5 unc?🤣
hardy parcel
@unkempt tinsel yes but in this case there is just no point doing the mega cube. May as well do 5 little ones for the same reward.
granite zenith
the events all use reg borgmadas as well as megacube... yes... the megacube is a massive disappointment... and this fourth arc in storyline, meeting expectations, and individual event rewards all gets a d- in my book... HOWEVER the fact that i had an event store and was able to choose my own rewards throughout the arc, as well as the advertised ability to cash in any left over arc 4 tokens into warfunds gets a A-... please use the feed back to adjust future events
shrewd totem
If events will be this kinda crap,just shutdown the game and start making a second one
limpid thistle
What do you get towards this event for your hard work over the last 3 months?
Some form of boost?

The epic token conversion was good for the store, the event on the other hand....

The event itself isn’t the best, but the rewards are far from awful in the event store
limpid thistle
That’s not the point. This event is the ‘pinnacle’ of 3 months worth of events. Those that did nothing in the last 3 months wouldn’t be able to jump in and compete even without an alliance would they?
shrewd totem
When events aren't good who cares about event store?
modern estuary
lol eve online is going mobile soon
unkempt tinsel
@hardy parcel I disagree. Do it once and get the pts. You hit a higher milestone in the solo event. Take those war funds to the bank
unreal osprey
@granite zenith I'll just say this, but when 10of10 went out to buy it it cost 400$, buying war funds costs 800$ now
mystic zealot
@unkempt tinsel how much of those points were from converting tokens?
shrewd totem
Probably 90%

Hey guys, anyone know or tried to see if Chen activates on these mega Borg cubes as they are labelled 'special hostiles'
unkempt tinsel
Why would that matter? If you finished the previous borg arc you could get those for free.
limpid thistle
Nah they’re still armadas. No Chen or tlaan
abstract gate
Cool 🖖
modern estuary
so mega boring
shrewd totem
If events dont pay enough war funds for free then screw event store. You get 7.5k for free,that is 1 epic officer shard per day.Event is for 17 days? So what at the end you get 17 epic officer shards!
granite zenith
actually 10 of 10 cost me nothing... I was only 2 shards from unlock from tribbles... and pulled what i needed to unlock from saved ultra recruit tokens... spent my accumulated war funds on 5 of 10 and am 35 from unlock... I have spent $0 dollars on this arc so far....
shrewd totem
You get most of your funds from alliance event+epic tokens.Then why even bother doing solo events?
Anyway waste of time complaining about it.Back to my cave
limpid thistle
Who cares about the ally events or event store which is always pish. We want some gameplay here! The pinnacle of 3 months worth of gameplay if possible 😂🤣
OMG I said pish 🙈
Delete away ive got it copied
solemn sequoia
I like the event store
but you cant lock the event store currency behind 4 other currencies
limpid thistle
I’ve done a pile of gas in the event store. It’s not my complaint.
granite zenith
the solo events give you the alliance milestones... for the borgmadas... really only did the first two tiers... I am NOT defending this arc in any fashion... complete letdown as a Final Arc... but they got the store right
solemn sequoia
like killing borg ships should ahve just flat out given you war funds
unreal osprey
@granite zenith I am 40 to unlock it or so and it costs me almost what those who bought it from 0
It's okay that they let us choose ... but doubling the prices just to be able to choose ... doesn't seem very correct to me
modern estuary
i hate the fact that you need transwarp cells to kill probes you need borg transwarp cells to kill cubes and need epic transwarp cells to get slaughtered by the mega boring cube
just have 1 type of transwarp cell
granite zenith
like i said I spent $0... perhaps i was just lucky
limpid thistle
@unreal osprey Scopely algorithm that runs the store is cray cray. I’ve got a f2p that wants to buy the monthly pack but can’t
unreal osprey
it is only a company that wants to leave us without money even in times of crisis
mystic zealot
The 100$ point pack is laughable, I can get 4bps and an some change out of it lol
limpid thistle
Meh the monetisation isn’t my issue. This is event chat while we’re talking about events. And it turns out I can call them pish without the reds deleting my comments
unreal osprey
it seems as if the care packs were very expensive for them and they had to recover the money with this event
hardy parcel
@unkempt tinsel my point is you can do all of that without touching a mega cube.
And even if you do a couple it will take a whole alliance to destroy one with only 5 getting points.
Where's the fairness in that?
shrewd totem
Since when we are looking for fairness in this game?👀
limpid thistle
What’s the point of the mega cube then?
open folio
point is to say screw you
limpid thistle
If it’s a whale event for whales then only release to 40+
open folio
right?
limpid thistle
Same as you can’t get jelly bps as 35 and under
But don’t sell it as the pinnacle of 3 months of gameplay or the guys in red will get the hump when you ask them about it
modern estuary
if the lvl 50 players cant event put a serious dent into one what hope to the players less than 40 have?
meager galleon
Duncan still playing victim 🙃
modern estuary
need to be lvl 39 to build a jelly
limpid thistle
Surely you have a second response kaution? You did that one already. Or something constructive would be appreciated by all?
mystic zealot
I'd rather buy a house than be lvl 50 😂 but that's another matter
modern estuary
lol for the amount of money it takes to get to lvl 50 you would probably own two houses
granite zenith
oh our aliance killed a gun... unfortunately it DOES respawn...
solemn sequoia
Considering that its almost 300k to cap a 4* epic right now
yea
it is cheaper to get two houses
knotty birch
Can somebody give people the definition of insanity when trying to defeat a megacube?
modern estuary
lol wow 300k per g4 ship x 6 1.8mil you would own a street for that
shrewd totem
😂
granite zenith
its points... plain and simple...
modern estuary
add in the cost of base upgrades and research lol we are looking at a small village
shrewd totem
An island 😂
modern estuary
lol metra alpha is broken again on eu139
hostiles no longer spawning
even player ships lost tags
wasted yet another transwarp cell but that seems to become a recurring theme lately
limpid thistle
I guess no response from caution says everything you need to know about this event......
trim hemlock
I'm gonna have so many sheriff badges. lol
eager hill
@limpid thistle so you refuse to accept they are just players like you and me and doing a voluntary work to mod stfc's discord? I don't think anyone here disagrees to how bad this whole borg event has been, Particularly this one.
limpid thistle
Huh? Im confused. What point are you trying to make @eager hill
dark badger
How about something for at least participating in Mega Armadas and incurring multiple repair bills. I have no desire to go to an armada 4x a day just to incur only a repair bill with literally nothing as a 'thank you' for participating. I'm done with it.
eager hill
"I guess no response from caution says everything you need to know about this event......" doesn't this imply mods here have anything to do with this event? mind you they did mention it here way before your first comment that this event was bad.
thorny wasp
🐶... 🦴
limpid thistle
Lol I commented on the terrible gameplay and got attacked by the mods @eager hill. Please correct me if I’m wrong but is this not the place to comment on events in STFC on the official STFC discord channel moderated by STFC staff?
snow forum
@limpid thistle i think this is the Right Channel for you #💬-events-feedback
limpid thistle
Lol I’ve got it all wrong then. My bad 🤣
eager hill
@limpid thistle moderators are not stfc's employees and the "attack" was what they are supposed to do when someone breaks the server rules. You may not like those rules but there is a channel explaining them and everyone have to follow them or be 🔨
twin mason
So what we can do is zoom in on one of the Borg cubes, set that as the background for a system. Change the graphic for an armada, make the rewards pathetically small and see if those muppets will actually pay money for absolutely nothing in return, what do you think guys? - minutes from Borg event dev meeting.
shrewd totem
You still think we are STFC employees?
limpid thistle
Please enlighten me-I understood this is the official STFC discord am I wrong?

To confirm do these borg targets respawn looking at the artwork it might suggest they dont
shrewd totem
@limpid thistle if you read #509679626763632642 you would have known what is what and reading rules should be first thing to do when you enter this discord.....

they do

Neither a yes nor a no?

mega borg cub is another ridiculus mega efford low payment event of scopely... i think they dont wanna have that many player
flint kettle
So. What are thé best ships to use against the 3 Borg parts?
limpid thistle
Who cares. The gameplay is terrible. And for the love of god don’t ask Scopely to justify it because the guys in red who have nothing to do with Scopely will attack you for it
It’s just another armada
meager galleon
Have a read of my post
Also nobody attacked you for the opinion, your snarky comments and swearing is what got you into trouble
But maybe I shouldn’t have asked you to read something as it doesn’t seem to be a strong skill of yours 😐

Still unable to answer a simple question kaution? I give up

Lol all of this for a yes or no! The mind boggles
exotic plover
listen i rile up the red names but i dont even act like a snarky whiner and blame them for crap content they had 0 to do with
best thing to do: do ur dailys , work on rep if ur not 3 locked and save everything for events
forget about borgmadas like groundhogs day movie
severe bridge
Duncan started accusing mods of getting freebies, having YouTube videos (don't even get it), was being snarky, and "light swearing". kaution wrote an entire reddit thread on how horrible the event was. I don't think the mods are defending the event. You are just in your own world thinking people are out to get you.
shrewd totem

exotic plover
rile rile
limpid thistle
My light swearing wasn’t directed at anyone. It was fun, light swearing as directed. The point I was making is no one answered my simple yes or no question.

annnnddddd 1 EPIC BORGMADA DOWN!!!!!
merry fulcrum
How many tries to finish the epic?
shrewd totem
Epic borgmadas are easy if you have right crew and a few strong Vidars
tepid pivot
define few strong vidars @shrewd totem
shrewd totem
We did it with 3.8m last time. 1 T8,3 T7 and 1 T6 Vidar I think
severe bridge
1 v'dar with 9of10 as captain helps
edgy yacht
Only the strongest people ddd as can do it. It’s crazy
tepid pivot
do you have a battlelog to show? interested to see
rocky hill
do we have the firing pattern for the megacube components?
shrewd totem
@tepid pivot will ss next time(probably tomorrow),but this is the crew we are using most of the time
9of10 as captain+max synergy
8of10 as cap+max synergy
Kirk/Spock/Khan
Gorkon/Kerla/Khan
5of10/Kirk/Spock
ashen wharf
Firing pattern = Pew pew everyone dead
keen ledge
🔥
shrewd totem
When you use 8 and 9,you need to use Gorkon crew as well.That is the point 😅.Decrease enemy's chance to crit and increase your chance then with a Gorkon crew do a massive amount of damage
meager galleon
Don’t know if I enjoy the trade off 🤷
You’re sacking Morale and Shield Regen for hull breach only
Yet everyone who gets hit is ramping their Kahn anyway
And the crits are so huge
ashen wharf
We just have the strongest person use morale smallest use anti crit since its effects stay
After death 🤷♂️
prisma geode
Firing pattern for mega cube = hope your Vidar makes it through round 1 so it can die in Round 2.😂
rocky hill
I was wondering if we could use a combination of 8s with gokron and 8s with chang to try and delay the weapon fire
prisma geode
Only 1 person needs Gorkon as the hull breach will help with everyone else’s crits
Best luck I have been having is 8 as cap 7 and kerla on the wings
Below decks stacked for max health attack
limpid thistle
But maybe I shouldn’t have asked you to read something as it doesn’t seem to be a strong skill of yours 😐
@meager galleon so, before I’m allowed to ask a question on discord I have to read reddit? What have I got to read before I can ask a question on reddit? The daily mail?
vague adder
Wow unless your top 5% of your server borg 3rd arc seems pretty much pointless or am I missing something?
frank lark
The mega cube is big fail.......no one or very very few have a snowballs chance in hell of killing it......and pay $$$ for only 6 megacells to get there.......really?? Try again...or modify it...Vidar is not awfully useful against them
vague adder
Mega Cube = how can we get the top 5% to spend more money? Is what this event feels like. Worst event so far by a lot....
frank lark
Even if you spend it is basically a useless endeavor!
vague adder
Bragging rights oh and maybe a avatar frame so everyone knows your an awesome spender
frank lark
Rewards for all the Borg cubes suck!!! A couple red things....for what?
ashen wharf
bro is that a $5000 game avatar bro!
Bro! Does it do anything!
Bro! No way it does nothing!
timber orbit
Event is a load of pish - plain and simple, not worth the effort of your ships going boom - just as well do normal armadas at least you stand a chance of half decent rewards
twin mason
So our alliance is now encouraging people to simply start the mega cube armada, then warp home. Ridiculous but the only way to win the event.......
This is a complete and utter shambles.
You can’t keep the directives and the there is virtually nothing good for killing a disruptor so save your repair costs, spend the directives and farm rep.

Worst fcking event ever. All spend and no real rewards

No chance mate - they are just as disgusted by this event as the rest of us
But I didn’t see an answer to Duncan’s question but I did see the mods replying to his snarky remarks by being snarky themselves 🤷♂️
abstract gate
Tbh this event makes little difference to me, cant stay in game for more than 5minutes anyway. The developers put more time into this rubbish than fixing the glitches
Big borg graphics just make it even less stable since last update
thin heart
@abstract gate they all already said they wont
weak copper
It’s fairly obvious these things aren’t meant to be defeated by single alliances.

@thin heart what wont fix the glitches or defend the game?
modern estuary
borg megacube is 100,000 ly in size hows is that even possible the milkyway galaxy is about 250ly across
a ship 100,000 ly in size would implode into a super massive blackhole
the largest stars are not even 1 ly in diameter
ashen wharf
Its not even .0001 of a light year in radius
So yes this thing would have so much mass that it would cause galaxies to crash into it
modern estuary
have you read the description?
ashen wharf
Cant
modern estuary
ok let me warp to it and screenshot it
cosmic sage
It's probably not dense enough to be a black hole though
