lol 100000ly?
its bigger than the galaxies in the magellan cloud
remember a hot blue star is about 1000 times bigger than our sun and large enough to collapse into a black hole
a ship 100000ly across would pull other galaxies toward it
NOTHING in star trek canon is that large even the dyson's sphere was only a few AU in diameter
to build a ship 100,000 ly in size would require the entire resources of the milkyway and more
dont forget... the megacube is also behind both a borg transwarp, and a mega borg transwarp cell... it "technically" could be located in the zeta quadrant for all we know... 😂
it's cubed guys...
technically so is the milky way 🤣 3d is 3d
Everyone knows Milky Ways are rectangular.🙄
Any object of that size, solid or otherwise, would generate an enormous gravitational field. Galaxies are mostly empty space, a cube would likely be far more dense. It would pull everything toward it like a universe apocalypse. Dumbest thing ever.
so its the Borg Galaxy... we are already suspending belief... thats not the real issue... the real issue is the whole thing is a fail 🤣
the borg created the anti big bang... i could believe that if the event was better
so for a cube to have 100000 ly cubed its sides have to be 46.42ly each
It's definitely an anti-climax of biblical proportions.
Actually ignore that, biblical is quite an exaggeration.
no it would be 100, 000 x 100, 000 x 100, 000
thus the cubed
with each side being ... wait for it... 100, 000
that is enourmous would drag stars towards it
It dragged me towards it.
sure... i can suspend belief to believe that behind 2 different transwarp corridors... in a completely different quadrant... there is a galaxy sized borg ship... that i can believe...
the one that taught 3 cubed is a cube with a length of 3x3x3
A galaxy sized borg cube would collapse into a singularity under the pressure of its own mass.
yes but 100000 is not a perfect cube root
so what is the cube root of 100000?
who cares
46.42
i'm sure the 100,000 is an estimate, not the exact number... still ridiculously impossible tho.
100,000³
Not 46.42³
they knew building something with that mass would cause massive gravitational pull and that would cause damage so they made an anti gravity well duh
This IS sci-fi🤣
46.42 x 46.42 x 46.42 = 100.026 to be exact
an object of that size would have to maintain an internal warp field and structural integrity fields at all times, the amount of energy required would exceed the output of all known stars in the universe.
They would be unable to assimilate anything because they would just absorb it
and that would be described as 46.42 cubed... not 100, 000 cubed
You’re seriously arguing about this? 🤣🤣
Anyone know how to to the cubed symbol in game?
@winter leaf you need 1 borg cell and 1 borg cube cell
it never said the ships volume was cubed... it said its size was cubed ... and it wrote the size as 100, 000 cubed = 100, 000x100, 000x100, 000
in game ... on my keyboard you hold the 3 down @winter leaf
wait... hold on hold on... I figured it ALLLLLLLL OUT
the point of the MEGA CUBE... is to make Borgmadas seem better... so we will run em
@granite zenith In bluestacks?
my note8 keyboard on my phone... no clue what it is on a keyboard
My iOS is a no go
And why are there no charged nanos in the event store???
convert inerts to charged in borg tech refinery
I think his point, which I agree with btw, is that you have mods and D'vor parts for both similar ships, and even active nanorpobes in the evnt store, only charged nanoprobes are conspicuously missing...
You can spend 99 for the BORG ATTACK PACK and try to kill the mega cube, try to win event and maybe get 10k Borg war funds and a “fantastic “ gold frame. or you can buy a BORG WAR FUNDS PACK and get 120k war funds. Not exactly a tough choice. Even better, not spend anything at all and carry on the good grind 😁
Why is it that our members under lv 25 didn’t receive the frame/avatar from the previous ALB event? They contributed each and every day through the Galactic Sheriff event, and contributed war points to the War Effort. Why then should they not receive these rewards also? Yet another slap in the face for new players.....
This game seems to have become a slap in the face for most players... the Borg event being a wake up call.
Armadas last year should have been the wake up call..
but gave them a second chance
third time now?
Third time the charm
If they add more toll systems lol
😂
Dont think alot of people will continue playing..
True, but when you have new players just getting into the game, who can’t participate in Armada’s through no fault of their own, yet who engage fully with the grind-fest of an event provided to them in order to contribute to the alliance, they should at the very least receive the silly frame/avatar!
What possible incentive do they have to keep playing if they continuously miss out on rewards for no reason.
Pure and utter craziness
You should have seen it before
When i was a level 15-19
They had events that gave high levels stuff all the time then stopped when majority of server got to the 30s
It does say recommended lvl 25+, maybe scopely intended to screw the lower levels anyway
Every event is placated for high payers only and it will continue on for forever
Thats why level 50's can hit 29's
To be food
Well if you can afford to get to level 50, shouldn’t need to feed on the snack levels
They do in some servers
If they see you unshielded at all they just hit you just because
Nice
Thats why mergers will be horrible
Those servers that only have like 100 players are because they did that kind of stuff and killed off players that just wanted to play and level up
It does, but if scopely wants to nitpick about that, The War Effort Monthly ALB clearly sets out the point scoring requirements, whereas the the aforementioned does not. Therefore comparing the two, it could easily be inferred that no such requirements exist for the Armada LBs, and a ‘suggested’ level is exactly that. A suggestion, not a requirement.
Semantics aside, it’s just wrong, but clearly I care more about player retention than Scopely
they only care about dollar bills nothing more
Scopely just want get rich quick, move on to next scam
Twd game, wwe, and their other games are a clear indicatior
Why care about players?
They even tried it with looney tunes
And lost (things that cant be spoken here ) case
Just get a contract with a popular franchise make a game piss off fans rinse repeat
You would think that it was the Scopely employees that were providing the rewards from their own pockets the way they have dwindled over the past months.
In fairness rewards have been on a massive uptick...... til now. And the event store is still there. And war funds are still being earned. But the “final showdown” was admittedly a big disappointment. In the mechanics of it anyway. You can still earn war funds to buy your own prizes. In a great store. But the entire phase 3 mechanic could have Been sooooo much better. It makes me SadDJz
This whole thing has been like a porn movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
Act 1, Scantily clad woman, home alone with a leaky sink
All good so far.
Act2, Woman calls for a plumber.
On track still
Act3, Plumber arrives he has a large tool in his hand
Here we go...
Finalé, Plumber fixes sink. Leaves
@abstract gate 🤣🤣🤣
Worst. Event. Ever.
Yep.
@twilit imp did the mega borg cube get scaled appropriately for different servers? Our server, EU-161 is relatively new. The highest player is ops39, second highest ops34 I believe. No one has a max tier vi'dar, no one has g4 Epic ships, yet the Borg mega cube has 100,000,000 strength. I'm in the strongest alliance on there but I don't think we've even attempted a single hit on it, we've stuck to the uncommon, rare and epic smaller cubes for the event and are on track to win that comfortably. It was a bit of an anticlimax if I'm honest 😔
157 is a little bigger, but we can't really do any damage. Alliances are launching armadas and sending no ships. Even if you do destroy a target, as we've seen on other servers, you get a handful of nanoprobes. Absolutely pointless. Everything so far has been either ridiculously easy or impossibly hard.
$copley has been silent so far. It looks like they invested a lot of time and effort putting this together, but it ultimately ended being an armada Re-skin no one on my server is really participating.
This event was a huge fail imo
Agreed
Bean counters were obviously involved in the process 
Actually, I could have used one of the Scopely bean counters to manage my borg event currencies
I was a little confused with all of the tokens they introduced for this event. LOL
Xizt, I think the opposite happened. They read "players want borg cubes" and hastily threw some stuff together but didn't put much effort into it. I'm sure Act 4 wasn't planned at all.
Question. If the Borg are invading why do we need to trans warp to them ( in some cases multiple trans warps)?
@abstract gate I agree, seems rushed and doesn’t really align with the story.
Exactly
This isn’t an invasion
Pointless event, rather have literally anything else
maybe their attacking the 5th dimension
argh defo got the cpt proton dimension wrong there...
It looks like we are invading the Borg lolz
Which Makes totally Sense in scopely world.
Scopely again screwed us respect. At the scopeman
🤦♂️two lvl 33 probes carry more...
They are mega. It's one level above epic.
They had no idea what to put there...
Might as well have been empty, for all I care.
We know it's about the event rewards, not the armadas themselves but damn, even those are lackluster for the costs invested. Just launching and warping away seems most cost effective
I am level 25 (recommended start level for event) and can't even target the mega cube armadas because they're level 40, above my range. So I can't even contribute the points for starting one. All of the mega cube transwarp cells and directives have been a waste for players like me.
Honestly I had such high hopes for this event. Thought I’d be able to bring my whole alliance to Borg space so all 60+ of us could work together to hit a cube - but no. Only 5 can go at a time as nobody has got their ACC to 40 yet. Even the highest power team on our server can’t make a dent - and surprise - we have to pay to do that in any meaningful way too. This could have been SO good if the whole group of us could have gone to fight as you teased. Such a shame.
I only went to spend the directives, I did not expect the cube to kill me 3 times in the same armada
Definitely one of Kevin from accounting finest moments.
The only positive thing I can think of is that it's pretty much equally 💩 for every type, level and class of player.
@median slate his name is billy. Damnit.
Mega Borg cube = shear disappointment. Scopely needs a test server full of actual players. To avoid repeatedly releasing garbage.
All of the players who bought stuff are at fault here, scopely already knew that the players will buy every shit, and so they perform the events, they know u will purchase something even it's absolutely useless, we can see the results in this great balanced event, it would be funny if alle the other vents were great... Oh, wait 😂
Anyone got the picture of what officer abilities don’t work vs borgmadas?
and that would be described as 46.42 cubed... not 100, 000 cubed
@granite zenith You are so wrong. 9m3 is 3m x 3m x 3m. Which is how the Borg was described 100, 000ly3 so 46.42ly x 46.42ly x 46.42ly. The admiral was describing the volume of the cube not setting a sum for someone which you are trying to do!
You are missing the units and just looking at the number. This is a volume and has a unit. It’s not asking what 3 cubed is, which is 9. (Sorry corrected by post below doh I meant 27😂😂😂)
3x3(=9)x3=27
3x3(=9)x3=27
@pallid bone Agreed, tell me what the Length, Height and Width of a 9m3 cube is?
3m
@pale breach @chilly venture Slight addition: That list was supplied by Scopely at the first launch of regular Armadas. Since then with new officers introduced and borg armadas, no update on the list has been provided. Only the hint that experimenting with officers and Borg Armadas could be worth it.
Experiment... with 1 armada to start, and one to gain in a few days... oh my....
Indeed... 😕
Lvl25? Lmao
Will take all those that participate in an assault from the alliance I'm in both tokens to probably do about 1/4 damage on it.. haha..
Apparently scopely think every player on every server has G4 ships just lying around..
Reality is most havent even got a maxed DiVar or Epic g3 yet...
You would expect a max divar to do something
Would expect to be able to max the DiVar during the phase 1 and 2 parts.. but nope 😂 1 daily refine and no additional parts to upgrade it in the store.
Oh but you can always upgrade your Franklin... because that's important for tomorrow 😂
Then DiVar becomes a paper weight because we have no Borg dailies either 🤷🏼♂️
You can sell your probes for fraction things
Did they stop doing the borg premium points for war funds exchange?
I no longer see it in my event store, though it had 8 days left previously
@swift fossil it only had a limit of a few hundred. If you've already exchanged that amount that will be why it's gone.
I wish they had published the limits. I would have spent borg funds differently had i known
There were announcements that you needed to cash the Epics in first time around
And you would get the tokens back to then spend in Event store
As I understand it the 300 limit is because you should only have 279. I'm guessing scopely didn't check how many each player had just whether they qualified for the token refund and mailed out 279 to all that qualified
A lazy solution sure but it's scopely so....yeah
Well the last several days only let me exchange 10 at a time. Was nowhere near the full limit i think
It showed i had around 200 more points to exchange
So you got a full refund of 279 despite not spending all 279 to begin with and now you've "lost" a few...you gambled and you lost, no sympathy tbh
Im not sure what you mean by that
I maxed out the exchange while it was there
What gamble are you referring?
If you had more than 300 then you obviously withheld some first time around gambling that a better reward might appear later
If you didn’t spend them for these packs and left yourself with an extra 200+ and then got given another 280 off Scopely for this phase the ones you didn’t spend originally for previous phase you lost
Yup, spent all mine first time around and then got to spend them all again this time....win win for me
Nice
It was announced via in game news and announcements
If you failed to read then it’s unfortunate your loss
All in all I'd say those of us that dumped 270 into first set of rewards have benefited more than the gamblers
Itd still be cool if they published the limits. They do for everything else. Like limit 60 bp in event store
Would not have made a difference as the previous redemption ran out last phase anyway
You would still have been left with tokens
It would have effected how i plan the war fund spend
Will we be able to exchange the three sets of monthly tokens we all have 200k+ of at the end of this event
?
Unknown at this time @analog yarrow panic has said they were looking into it but nothing has been said since
@analog yarrow those were for reaching milestones in arcs 1-3, I don't think they're going to let us exchange them for anything now. Would be great if they did though!
I believe the clean up will be based on this current arc
So and remaining salvage, warp tokens or alliance mile stone badges
Not sure if it’ll include any previous phase stuff
Can i keep my megacube directives to trade in for something useful and/or fun?
Yes, a paper hat for your avatar
Hey, boxes
Toilet paper? Something to wipe your ass with way more useful and valuable than megacube related stuff.
Has about the same repeat use value too
I dunno. I started one and that was the two tiers in the solo event that I actually cared about done 🤷♂️ quick and easy. Just need me directives to do it again later 😂
the same event again... I'd take Domination, or even a Data mining event at this point...
Best. Event. Ever.
Does anyone know what level gets the regular jellyfish event?
I remember rev deuce mentioning one that happened every few days at low levels, but don't remember the levels
The only entertainment this has given is trying to spot who's given up playing and forgot to shield - i'm up 20m dil from it so far..
Can we have other events other than borg? So boring... I’m not the only one ...
He's a community manager he doesn't get to do that @long slate
Everyone wanted borg, virtually every star trek game is based around the borg or has a borg feature, it's sad @azure ravine
I want a star trek game not including the borg and is interesting
we need the dominion and cardassians next
Yep. Anything but borg
sounds like you want another distraction ship
Just make the defiant for the dominion. Done!
And it will only work in limited amount of systems !
And youll need to collect tokens everyday to go there!
Or bring online gamma quadrant. Or delta for borg stuff.
they could add the bajorain wormhole to link to a second galaxy map in the gamma quadrant
Level 100 required for knowledge about worm holes 😅
@ashen wharf warp 185 has already been achieved....
Warp 100,000 lightyears then!
Scoplay math😂 what a ridiculus mega cube
and it barely fits one system
they should of just ran the background as the cube surface
should be never ending if its 100,000 cubed light years
Lol
Hey, guys this is only a game. Not sure how the physics were derived for a cube that’s the size of 100,000 light years
The gravity alone would be immense.
I suspect that a party was going on at Scopley with cannabis when the story was written
Yeah - anybody with half a brain might do some basic fact checking before making a dumb design statement like that. Quite clearly stupid beyond words.
On what day does the borg armada event end?
Not soon enough?
Preferably tomorrow so we can get better events.
another 7 days left to it yet i think 
😭
Yep
9 days of cube altogether... 3 sets of 3 for gold, silver, and bronze frame 🙄
After running 6/10 event, is there another one upcoming?
No... We hate borgmada too much so we will only have that until everyone quit. Scopely logic
At least we finished the war effort alliance event. It's been pretty chill actually. Just do 5 Borgmadas a day, hit some Help that you would anyway and you're free to do what you want. We will see what they bring us in two days at the end of the current Mega cube onslaught event, but I'm not holding my breath...
Isn't that "clean up" so... nothing...
The game is boring beyond words right now. Be great if they just read some of the feedback in here and pulled the plug on this and went back to the regular schedule of events
A Call to Arms would be fine now. We can take out our frustration on hapless bases.
I think I'm getting PTSD pulling out my phone every few minutes to look for more helps to press. Because its either that or donate a small fortune.
Scopely isn’t responding to our help requests. 😂
do the devs publish the upcoming event schedule anywhere?
😂
I knew it was a long shot, but I am an optimist

What is the minimum ACC level required to start the Mega Borg Cube armada?
should be ops 25, i'd have ACC at at least that level as well.
Well as long as you can start it it really doesnt matter
You'll help your event by spending those directives just tell your alliance to not show up.
some people like a free ticket to stovokor
So over this 💩 show of an event...
If this is all scopley can come up with, it maybe time to find another game.
The game just became over boring, ships that cost money to repair are not helping for now no fun at all 😦
7 days and 6 hours more of this?
Please, scopely, just end it now
Every day it goes on is more things that I can get fit free in the event store though 😶
I am satisfied with event rewards. Maybe a bit more rss besides war points.
5 uncommon borg armada daily. Nice requirements. It's already hard to keep with doing all dailies.
Whales got extra fight mechanic event which i don't care, that's ok.
It's not even giving any rewards to do. Basically it's a dummy practice targets for a tribune? I don't care.
I don't know, didn't watch the show but maybe we have to be defeated for storyline? Dunno..
Hype and expectations was the people's problem.
7/10 is my point for this last borg arc. 8/10 is for all Borg arc content
The best bit is, after this first event finishes you're then competing for a silver then bronze frame
4 more alliance milestones then we're out
8 days of this...we twice voted faction hunt our favourite event. Why can’t we get 8 days of that? 😬
Its not hype or expectations...and, yes, agreed, event store is great.
Its common sense...two times they gave us to vote on our best events...armadas came in dead last. What does Scopely do. Give us a version of armada for 9 days straight, as grand finale of 4 months long arc.
You really got to be on some kind halucinogen to think community will like it.
Yep, Borg arc overall has been great, and the event store is great. But this final arc and it’s events are trash.
Honestly I like this concept with alliance milestones and I do hope they do this more often. Mix it up and keep whales happy, do 3 days alliance leaderboards but as with CoW and Arc4 keep main prizes through milestone.
But this last event...i am lost for words...just waiting for next 6 days, when everyone spends their directives😀😀
Now that would have been much better, especially the “kill all the armadas, you kill the cube” bit. That would have given something to work towards.
@median slate that would have been preferable to the current pile of 💩
💩
Mega cube event is by far the worst event in this game so far, placed a ticket in for some therapy to overcome the depression this has caused
so... i start play other games.... hahahah
Play multiple games at the same time so as these brilliant Scopely developers keep nose diving this game with continued 💩 content like the mega cube finale, it will make it easier to just laugh at the atrocious decisions Scopely keeps making and move on.
You mean those surveys they have on auto delete on submission? Yeah, like they read those things.
No it’s my personal view on it, as a Mod and avid player and I know that the Devs check Reddit every so often so it’s a decent spot to put some feedback
I liked arcs 1-3 more
I just don't get how they screwed this up so badly. Your best strategy for handling the mega cube is going up there, spending your directive to get the points, and then walk away from it. there is little to no incentive for anyone to join the armada. The only other points you could get is for killing it, but the resources and directives need to do that are well outside the game unless you purchase them. If you're a whale you'd be smarter to buy the war funds directly.
ah they lose chance to implement another faction tab.... another resersh tab a server competitive to kill mega cube
Threat from Beyond.aka(Swarm Sunday)......someone please tell tell me I'm recalling wrong....wasn't there some uncommon crystal as reward in some of the tiers???? Now the only uncommons I'm seeing is gas & ore.
I know the pain, lol
no suprise there $$$$copley, "So yeah faction miners, they going to need it the most....so lets remove it..yeah what a perfect idea...push them to buy it...mhmm..perfect"
FFS, you're kidding I hope? They added another uc crys sink yet restricted the flow further?
any ideas when clean up phase will start?
Not soon enough
7 more days including today
🤮
There’s another phase ?
Only the epilogue phase, where the megacube is gone but can still spend in the event store
@earnest citrus That’s limited to certain alliances that meet the condition to start the epilogue mission I think
@drowsy viper Which is basically every alliance that scored even 1 point on the war effort milestone event, I believe. Definitely those that cleared the first tier.
@earnest citrus it mentions a leaderboard, that’s always ranking stuff...
There might be a final alliance leaderboard coming up maybe? The last is the one that counts? They used leaderboard but meant milestones?
Hard to tell
I'm guessing it means the War Effort - Alliance Milestone event, as that's the only one that's been permanent for the duration of the megacube arc. Can't see if being anything else tbh
Well, it wouldn’t be surprising if they meant a “final” effort. Scopely is big fan in that type of things
Please no. We've all suffered enough.
Hahaha indeed. I wish they do it simple, but in any case I’m preparing for the worst
It doesn't read like a new leaderboard to me.
I'm more interested in the chance to transform event currencies though 🤔
That would be so good
tomorrow there'll be another MC event but this time with decent rewards so people feel compelled to spend
Will the MC still be valid after the current event? I guess so?
We don't know. Current guess is no.
Bad and unclear communication once again.
Probably yes. There is still 2 more upcoming alliance leaderboards
Or do you mean whole phase 3 by saying current event
There is 6+ days for mega cells so logically you are going to need MC stuff during whole phase 3.After that directives and cells will be removed/exchanged to war funds
Yes I know. But the communication is unclrar as heck.
Do we need to save em. Spend em this event.
We have no clue to what if. Its obv the event is still running for 6 days.
But what do Scopely see as Phase 3.
That depends on you I would say. We will get probably same events during this phase but with different avatars/frames as "rewards".So do you want to spend all of it right now or save some for later events which will be basically same stuff
Communication is okay this time,just too complicated and you need to look different places for different stuff
Agreed.
This screenshot put things in good perspective. Cheers Bat. Thx for the help once again 👍
🖖
I wish there was a way for people who are in smaller alliances to compete
True
now you owe me your soul for that wish
I dont like how its unclear how many war effort points can be secured im at 72 shards of 5 of ten. How many points are available will i be able to grind out 150k odd of war effort points by the end if the event?
You should be able to work that out by checking how many more war funds you’ll get from completing the alliance event and the remaining daily events.
You also have the option of buying war funds in the $$ store
Just throwing this out there other than event store this 3rd borg event is a huge disappointment.
they should have reduced the cost of all the items in the event store by half
.. what about if you didn't buy the BP you needed?
I feel like I'm getting too much war funds now though 😬
Still won’t be close
if you did mediocre in tribble feeding event you would of had enough to get 10of10 this event if you saved all your ultra tokens since finish of arc 3 while waiting
I'm getting 10of10 at next milestone in any event, and I didn't even use all my war funds on his shards
So far I've had enough to finish the last 30 10of10 shards I needed to unlock him, get the two avatars I didnt have, and have been spending the rest on dvor parts which are much harder to get out of the refinery then UC.
That was a very big problem, the tribble event was completely random, which meant some players got totally screwed and ended up with nearly nothing, while a couple lucked out on the first 3 rolls and ended up with a free tribble so they don't even need to buy the shards now.
that event wasn't an event, it was a lottery.
On the plus side, at least they had a event where they gave out a lot of shards if you didn't miss the refines
not a plus side when only 3 people got them through a lottery.
@dapper drum I was top 30 in it. I only got 52 shards from the event
It was completely RNG
Plus im in a smaller alliance. We just finished the third milestone
Can i sell the megacubes transwarp cells😂 only used 1 to explore and blow up ship on teammate armada what a crap borg event on mega cubes...
wait until the last day and get everyone in your alliance to start a megacube armada at the same time
So there is another of the same event coming up? we just blasted through all out mega cube directives (all 2 goes each).
Will there be opportunity to earn another mega cube directive for this next event?
hopefully it is over soon
2 more 3 day phases of mega cube
Although I hope they mix it up, it is v v likely we’ll get more of the same.
Please stop the hurting in an hour.
Great event....gives me the perfect excuse to keep all 4 ships mining
OOOPS, sorry.... I'm afraid I cannot come help with borgmadas. I'm... mining.
The mega Borg event end it becoming the mega mining event.
Megaletdown????
mega miner is more exciting than borgmadas 🥱
At least it gives parsteel
Everything is wrong, the original armada was bad but I guess scopely idea of getting thing better it to make another worst armada.
Now I see why they need to make server merge. They are losing player.
If borgmadas gave refined nano probes or normal uc/rare/epic armada credits it would've been ok...not great but ok
As it is the rewards are pitiful and there's little to no incentive to push your solo past the second milestone.
Yeah yeah, milestones = war funds. We know, we don't care, the carrot does not offset the stick.
Attempting to lick my own elbow is more entertaining than borgmadas.
🤔
Where they drunk 🥴 when they develop the Borg armada. If they were planning to make the armada so strong it should have been at all members of an alliance could join. Like my alliance have 63 actively player, then all 63 should join.
And even then I think we would still loss.
@winged tulip and surprising licking your elbow might be more rewarding 🤣
hi have the following problem. left my Alli for 5 days. have been back since noon yesterday. after 8h should actually count AllianzEvent again. but don't do it. everything is zero despite participation.
@spare perch A known issue that's been talked about on here and other discords since the event started unfortunately.
Ok , thx
3 more days of Galactic Sheriff SLB, for those of us who aren’t high enough level to do cube armadas. More grinding to see the pay-to-players just buy the top 3 spots. 😕
They better run the iss jelly events in conjunction with the mirror mirror mission chain like back in November or it’s a scam.
The whole reason for the mission chain was to get the iss jelly
3 more days... try 6 more days 🤣
@prisma geode which mission chain
When do we lower level players get a chance to spend War Funds to acquire the Ultra Borg Officer shards?
They better NOT run the ISS Jelly mission - I’ve just gone all in to come third in Jelly leaderboard.
Will be seeking a refund for what I spent if they do.
@meager galleon mirror mirror. Or am I mistaken that wasn’t tied to the iss jelly
It was not tied to it directly
On the original launch it was showing the ship but all the missions were low level stuff, like lvl 15-20
It didn’t help you get the Jellyfish
Sorry I blew up I started playing again in December, so I missed the first iss jelly event. I really don’t like the auction that goes on to get it now. Would rather just buy it outright.
You can buy the auction - second place was 4M points in my server - if u’re clever, maybe £2.5k?
Yeah not that cheap on mine.
I don’t believe that the Jellyfish has ever been acquired but from these “Auction” events
Unfortunately - I agree, don’t like them either. When they first came around the Whales were so few that they just took turns to get one each time
Now the average level has increased a lot of Dolphins are sinking lots into a very competitive event now
@meager galleon I think ISS Jelly has been available both in auctions (36+) and rush to lvl+2 events after level 35.
Yes, but it’s pretty much the same thing 🙂
Rush to +2 levels if planned and at 35-36 to start with will only take like 3000-4000 uncommons, which is a lot less than what the prices have been in auctions.
(Which is likely why no rush to +2 levels events have been on in the recent history).
Anyone know what the mission “business as usual “ is?
Can’t seem to figure out the command for it haha ( yes I’m a dummy)
@abstract gate
Okay thanks. Is it the one that branches to the different faction specific mission trees?
Yeah, near the end of the mission tree you get to choose a faction choice
Ty @earnest citrus that’s what I was hoping
So I’m level 33 and every single round of Solo Leaderboard so far, I’ve been in the same bracket as the highest level players on my server (currently lvl46). Scopely might as well just exclude me from the Leaderboard. What’s the point in even trying beyond getting what’s necessary for my Alliance? There’s so many things wrong with Phase 3. But this stands out as one of the worst.
I am doing the Galactic sheriff event. I’m killing level 30 ships it’s supposed to give me 340 points. It’s only giving me 30 points.
@oblique grotto Known bug since the beginning of the event unfortunately. Advice is to kill 28-29s instead.
All 30+ hostiles have the same issue apparently.
So here we are second set of events in phase three and oh look no way to earn any more Mega Cube armada tokens, so for an alliance that has active members who completed the alliance events and can’t get any more it’s a waste of time
and the 3rd set of events are same again... working towards an alliance frame in silver... then bronze
gotta be the worst event ever
They definitely one upped themselves on making an even worse Armadas Unleashed release that’s for sure
I'm legit surprised they didn't lock out whoever won 1st place in the last alliance event
That would've been funny 😂
This is someone who learned the wrong lessons from armadas unleashed
doubling down
They got plenty of negative feedback last time so I dunno...
Anyone knows how long the event store will continue to work with borg war funds?
@stoic fractal Just a guess, but probably at least 10 days, until the end of the Fractured Empire event
@earnest citrus Fractured Empire starts Monday or Tuesday next week?
Yeah, in 6 days once the Borg stuff finishes
Anyone know what currency will be required to purchase the Mirror, Mirror and Business as Usual quest lines?
Likely Borg War Funds, if they're in the event store
Yes
No idea mate. I doubt anyone but Scopely will until release.
Thanks 🙏
Too bad we don't have a past mission log, to see if and how much of those missions we've completed...
That's a much-asked-for feature
It's always retrieving. I should change my name to "retrieving".
I’d assume the Mirror Mirror missions in the event store are the ones that you had to pay to unlock first time around. If you didn’t buy that mission pack at the time then you won’t have completed any of them.
There was a first set that was free, a 'taster' and then you had to pay for more to repeat the story and get a different ending.
Are the rewards worth mentioning or fairly obsolete?
rare spock or epic kirk single shard if i recall correctly
I didn't find "Mirror, Mirror" in LCARS, but for "Broken Mirror", there were 2 Spock, 1 Kirk, and various other rewards.
Broken mirror was the free one. Mirror mirror was pay for “early access” and then was supposed to be released for free later.
The 'business as usual' intrigues me. May be a shortcut to change faction, or at least improve rating without killing six trillion miners
thanks
But seeing as I'm locked on Klingon, if it does, wondering what's gonna happen to that
But I'm only saying 'may'....🤣 Kinda hoping others may have a better idea
nowhere near that amount of faction points
Yeah but will it remain locked.....???
@sturdy hornet doesn’t being locked precisely means that? Not that I have been locked and that I know, but I assumed it was that
@sturdy hornet that mission chain does not really help you rep wise in any meaningful way, the rewards are already on lcars 2.0
old mission chain, new mission chain
Both old mission chains really
business as usually is not old
it has recommended levels in the lcars 2.0 bot, meaning it's been newly added
All I care is... do they give good rewards?
I can no longer see the currency converter even though I still have epic rewards left to convert, anyone else have this issue
New or old
We need a pinned messages about those excess tokens 🤔
I agree on the retrieving bit. I’d the Borg mega cube the worst ever? And they hired jar jar abrams Star Wars writers ! A thousand light years! It would implode and be a black hole and need a thousand suns just to power it up! Star Trek at least had science. But so did starwars till Disney took over. Even comic books are better🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂
@random tide good if you're level 20 maybe 
😂🤣😂🤣😂
@neat plover there is a limit on how many you can convert, 290 or 300
@neat plover short version is that if you didn't spend the full amount that you were able to spend in the epic rewards offered before the arc started, then you will hit the cap on conversion before you use your tokens up.
@wanton cloud thanks wish they told us what the cap was
Players were advised to spend their tokens as there would be a cap on conversion later.
I did spend what I could those were leftover
@neat plover how many do you have left now?
Yeah.. super annoying..
Nine here 9!!!!! Makes me scowl every day clicking that exchange button for one at a time....
7 sounds a little close 🤔 I'd guess that you had an extra 50 and got one extra shot in the store, but 7 is too close to really call it 😬
You can try CS just in case if you want to be safe.
ok will do
Can we end this event early
both events going on today are trash.
One is to be expected, and gives Allright rewards anyways
The armada event is good tbh, you can get a lot of uncommons, they just need to lower the milestones
@spare perch me and some friends have had this problem for days! The support tells fairy tales and said everything works as planned. 🤦♂️😂.. Support ignores facts and refuses to solve the problem.
It seems they think that massive disadvantage would be absolutely okay ...🤷♂️
I am totally disappointed.. 👎
Hi ! Will there be use for borg tech salvage other than buying directives and transwarp cell ?
@twilit imp will the ISS jellyfish upgrade event come back
@fresh bramble panic said on DJs podcast that they would deffo be coming back and more regularly... obvs didn't specify too much but did confirm it
@fresh bramble panic said at least monthly
We referring to the event where you upgrade ops level twice for jelly coming back at some point more regularly or something else?
They just had an event to win the Bps if that's what your looking for
It was a nice idea to have the gold and silver borg frames in different events, however the reality is the same team wins every event so they get all the frames. In fact its a very silly idea. Now our alliance (which is always second) can not get the silver frame for being second best.
Frames and avatars are terrible rewards regardless
And yet how many people aren't using them 🤔
When your told to come to a party and you will get brand new never seen before Lego. But in reality when you get there it's old used Lego and you've already paid the money you eventually are going to play with the old lego
Or another way to put it is: your a peasent and the King is only giving out bread but you don't like bread... Eventually your going to eat the bread lol
Just because they are bad rewards doesn't mean people won't use them
Guys in the current event there is the mission „one last effort“ where you have to travel to the Klingon representatives... i assume it is in Khitomer... but i cant view the system, as soon as i try the game freezes somehow...
Yep
Already deleted the cache ^^
@primal vine Have you tried sending your ship to the system without going into system view? It is Khitomer you need to go to.
@earnest citrus sure.. i can send the ship there but it does not help cause i still cant view the system, i tried it with ship in the system and (locate ship) or just without ship viereinhalbstündig Khitomer... this is odd because it just occurred after the last patch or update, before i had no issues in Khitomer
That's weird mate. I can confirm it loads fine for me. Do you have any other device you could try it on? Or Bluestacks maybe?
Ahhhh good idea... let me try it on the iPhone 🙂
🤞
Same issue there 🙂 so it is not the device
Ouch, in that case I think your only recourse will be to contact Customer Support. If it's affecting your account, there's nothing any of us here can do to help.
At least we did some checks, so i don’t have to reinstall 🙂 at the moment... Thanks
I hope you get it all sorted!
Ticket created... counting now 😀
Talking about current event what prize would you get... unlock 10/10 or 800 uncommon crystal (lvl 31 here )
How many shards do you need for 10/10?
115? Or was it 135?
I only needed a few shards for 10 of 10 so I started there.
Then focused on UC since my refi hates me.
His shards are so expensive though, otherwise I'd get him myself
I just needed 6 I think
I understand... i wasnt soo lucky in the event and i had only 45
I would honestly wait until the final week of the event store, post arc, when you've gotten all the war funds you're going to get
Yes i am waiting but if i did all the math right thats what i could buy at the end
For me it would be a hard choice. 10of10 would be great for dil or data mining, but we all need UC so much..
Believe me it is hard for me too
Both would be great... i would lean on crystal but i am afraid that if i pass on 10 now would take a lot before i gave the chsnce to get him
While crystal it will take some time but i jnow will get it
I've bought ent BPs, unlocked 7/10, and now trying whether to get UC or 10/10 - feel like i might as well wait till borg are in ultra packs, feels pointless unlocking a bunch of officers i won't be able to upgrade
I'd just get uc gas and start Saving for that enterprise @winged tulip
up to 85/150 - it's still a few months away but saving yeah!
You'll need over 5k just to get it to t5, I think it's actually closer to 10k
It's ridiculous
I'm going to camp ops 30 just to start saving up uc early on, I'm at 33k credits of the 180k
Just going to finish off one more tier on intrepid, then saving everything for the ent
silly though i won't be that far behind it on augur/d4, easy when you have all 3 factions locked
what's the intrepid??
What about traders grinding?
1.8m intrepid, always something to grind..
Borg amardas 😴😴😴😴😴
@abstract gate where do you see those quests? In recruit section? I don't see them anywhere. Please @ me if you reply as going afk for a bit.
The new Ship upgrade event SMS is annoying and far too frequent
I don’t have tiny upgrades I can do for 90 unc 4 times a day, no one does, my upgrades are 1000-2000 unc and only getting 3 unc back is a joke
agreed. i skip them
Are this new missions or old ones if you don't have get the arc 2 or 3
@smoky cosmos The current thinking is that they're the old missions being re-offered
Oke thanks
What’s the rewards for business as usual? Or the command for lcars? Can’t work it out lol
!mission "business as usual" works on 2.0
I wasn’t putting the “” in. Thanks!
If you want the entire chain, then !mission "in an instant" chain will show you all the missions
Ah wish I had looked at this message before typing in all the individual missions to see what the eventual reward is. All that for 200 faction credits at the end. Hardly seems worth it.
They have given out lvl 26 faction ship bps in the past, I believe
@twilit imp good morning panic. can you please talk to customer service. it is no fun to participate in the AllianzEvent. if no points are counted. 4 days have now passed. and still 24k. I also cannot take part in the MegaBorg Cube. customer service does not answer. server 157 ..
Did you change alliances recently @spare perch?
most likely did
yes ... but it is my old alliance. I quit for 4 days and then back again.

yep so changed alliance during an event then cries to CS when he can't participate in an alliance event instead of reading the warning first
but that was 4 days ago. i had more than 24k pts. it's stuck.
you can't score no more
you left your alliance during an event
you are no longer in the event at all
only reason you can still see the event as its a reminder of your inability to read
It had been suggested that returning to the original alliance may be ok based on another player's experience 🤔 but I guess there's more to it as always..
abusers gonna buse
also its a perfect way of keeping players in line with alliance SoP
long events like these, don't want to get booted
I'm not against some form of allowance, it is a little harsh, but it's a complicated problem to solve too..
There's an ingame warning, there's dozens of anecdotal posts on stfc social media warning of it...inability to read these warnings is the individual's fault not scopely's
but that is nonsense, what you say, it should be possible. if you help smaller alliances in the "WAR". to change alliance. This is a "war game" or ??!.
Also did panic ever post a retraction or clarification from this? 🤔
its an exploration/build/economy/strategy game
people just like to call it a war game because you can blow other people up willy nilly
Miners mostly..
shouldn't pick wars with others during scopely attempt at a large scale event
good place to start
"War" lol, if real wars were fought the way stfc wars are there would only be soldiers left alive in the world by now
SPACE LAW!
Unless it was a comment that war he just kills miners and the defenseless 😅
<@&509691205798592532> Is there another three day Borgmada event after this one had finished? The time left on the tech salvage and mega cube warp token gift store items suggests that there is
There is. This time you can get a bronze frame for wasting your resources
What Neme5i5 said is true...
I'd love to see how many borgmadas the devs/CMs have done in this event..
"I don't believe in no-win scenarios" he says, as he smacks his face into a brick wall repeatedly 💩
How much longer can I earn event currency with daily solo events?
@abstract gate Another 4d probably
I'm guessing this event has failed pretty hard and they haven't sold many megacube directive packs in the store.
I don't think anyone has defeated a single megacube armada on my server as we're new. I wonder if people are bothering much on other servers.
some are soloing the mega cubes 😆
Well that's just silly..
We've seen a few die of death by a thousand cuts (literally), i just don't understand how they expect us to find this event fun. Event store good, everything else.. 💩
I think my Alliance stopped at killing two 🤔 only worth it for the leaderboard points, and meh.
I havent launched a single mega cube. And i have 20 mega directives
i had been telling alliance to wait till last event to use all ours as there'll be less competition for leaderboard, but we have impatient people so we've all blown ours on the silver event.
I launched for the 5000pts you get for spending the directives. Didn't turn up to it though 😂
I've run out of stuff to do - maxed all factions, 1.3m of each raw g3 ready for the next extremely rare bonus refinery... everything else is time gated.
You can't use more than 450k of each though 😬
we had a 48 hour bonus refinery before - think i worked it out as 750k potentially max, and then a bit more on top for the next time we get into some war and can't mine..
and tbh, nothing else to do 😦
<@&509691205798592532> this borg event being all armadas really sucks!!!
Don’t think you needed to tag us to tell us that
@winged tulip We need a bonus refinery that allows unlimited refines similar to the one people exploited egregiously (and those who didn't got a useless chest with a few uncommons.)
Im up to 3 mil unrefined that I cant use, nice to have a stockpile though for when we have another war. The refinery is the shittest part of the game
Even if we had three refines like the founders server I would still not have enough uncommons to upgrade my ships and base.
yeah - i'm mining because it's the only thing left worth doing at all, just in case we get something else egregiously exploitable. Factions locked, 32 faction ships built.. the rest of the game is log on, do dailies, and wait for refines. Boring.
yep, I am grinding nanos for my vidar pretty much all I can do until a new event starts... sooo boring wating for this borg event to finish. Alliance milestones are all complete so nothing left for me to do.
4 more days of collecting borg war funds. No events though - come on scopley
You might as well chuck a military supremacy out there so we actually have something to do....what's that? Ulterior motive me? No, why do you ask?
Can we learn price of those quests pls?
@kindred arch more than they are worth
@abstract gate I just rushed my Brel - I wasn't waiting 😆 - Waited 3 months to grind the prints, not going to wait another 5 days for it to finish building
Enjoy hunting 500 lvl40's then 😂
The most boring event ive seen in this game, domination event looks good compared to this s.hit
So you want domination? How about 5 days?
Any other event would do u can make it a week I don't care:)) ..but any other woyld better that this borg armada
..plus let s see we spend 1 k ships to kill that megaborg ..so what 5 ppl get 800+ nanoprobes?🤣🤣
Enjoy hunting 500 lvl40's then 😂
@abstract gate Iol true, hardest part is getting them to spawn
At least that’s something with a goal to work towards and a decent reward for the perseverance, unlike a certain other event...
Honestly, this event is better than military supremacy
strongly disagree @merry fulcrum lol
If you even get military supremacy events... I never get them
@merry fulcrum i love supremacy best event ever - borg armadas suck a**
Supremacy sucks but it's still better than this non-event. I'm only still doing the 500 points on the off chance we get to exchange those alliance milestone points at some point. Alliance milestone event is done with so there's no incentive to bother when the war funds are so pitifully low in the first 2 doable milestones (as f2p). Next 4 days is just twiddling our thumbs waiting for something new...
Yea, this borg armada event is terrible, boring, badly designed and anticlimactic.
We're almost at the first avatars
Hey, speaking of avatars...at least we can waste our faction credits on them now. 😁😁🤢🤮
Meh it's more options in the store, lol
Are we going to have a refining event soon?
@abstract gate supremacy is just killing 500 ships it’s easy and u get huge rewards so it’s actually pretty good
"huge"
better than mining for sure
500 lvl40's is a pain in the ass, rewards are decent but it's a slog at my lvl. Only looking forward to the next one because I have a fully cooked augur in the oven
Before you get to the lvl40 hostiles it's an easy enough event with good rewards...once you're at that lvl40 requirement though it's purgatory with rewards juuuuust good enough to make you feel compelled to slog through it.
Mostly the parsteel at 38 tbh
@twilit imp I write this because as of now... I have to commend all devs on how well you can make an mmo so boring... where is the true PvP aspect to this game? I do not see it... call 2 arms was the closest thing you had... every build game I've ever played except this one has a server vs server element... I hear talks of mergers with another server... which is due to the lack of life left in the current servers... ask yourselves why this is dying? Build your base, farm, kill hostiles, raid your fellow server mates create wars within your server... then you added armadas but what should have been the new way to PvP is just another cash cow for scopely... borg event started with potential... but borg armadas and I have to agree with rev deuce is the most pathetic element you could have ever added... kill an armada for, what? A teeny weeny amount of inert probes that is even less than I get from killing a level 25 borg probe... I could say yay but seriously you have to think we are all so gullible to believe this was the most amazing innovation you could give us... all you have successfully done is create new ways to divide alliances on a personal level... I have seen constant in fighting over mega cubes because only 1 team gets the spoils not the other 20 odd members who contributed to killing one gun... you touted that mega cubes would be a combined effort but who gets the rewards? A max of 6 players from an alliance... so congrats to scopely devs for making this game boring and turning alliance members against each other...
I could give you suggestions on how to improve this game and encourage growth but I'm quite sure that at this point in time you really don't listen to anyone not even the YouTube gamers who promote this
@strong steeple I agree that event started out great. The rewards for mission and events were where they should have been all along for event 1 and 2. Event 3 and 4 they drastically reduced materials, starved us for tritanium all to make us buy laughable packs. $100 packs on some occasions don't even do 1 upgrade. The packs are so laughable that you could spend $1000 and not even fully upgrade a ships.. Complete crap.. Cause i need 500 2* materials at my level. Fricking joke. If you want us to spend money Scopely, how bout making the packs worth purchasing ... Giving us all this latinum in the packs and you can't use it to buy uncommon materials.. How bout putting in a latinum store for in game items.. Like uncommon, rare, shields, armada directives, ship parts.. List can go on and on
Please God, no repeats
I can see it being repeated, just on a smaller scale and a much-tweaked event organisation
And hopefully not for 2 weeks straight.
ie... you can't sped the war funds directly... but you can buy borg armada directives which can be exchanges
What level do i need to be for Business as Usual to show up in my store?
probably at a much lesser rate than spending them on borgmadas
@hasty lintel you have one of those posts in game as well... read it
Any news on whether the faction missions mean we get to permanently pick a new faction. I really need those Klingon faction rep and dailies to get up Klingon rep
It says tuned for 25-26, does not say you cannot buy it at a different level
well... if you dont see it... you are too low
Hmm, the news item says Business as Usual is completely new, but people remember doing it before and the details are in LCARS 🤔
so what are the awards for the missions. Is it worth spending the points for them
Ask again in 4 days, people will know then
if you are level 25 you would want the borg keys
The Borg missions are nice lore, if you didn't do them in Arc 1/2/3
Your a genius. That is whatbim asking people. Im lvl 20, its not in my store. What I want to know is what what do I need to upgrade to in order for it to show up in my store?
I kind of want to do them again for the rewards.
@hasty lintel Given the news item says the difficulty for BaU is tuned for levels 24-25.. I'm guessing 24?
Someone remembered what was the rewards for mirror mirror mission?
Depends what you choose to do, that's somewhere too I'm sure 🤔
@twilit imp will the ISS jellyfish upgrade event come back
Unless you are ready to drop $5k don’t worry about the ISS jellyfish event. Typically 7 million points wins it and to note its 100 points per UC and 150 points per rare
I am talking about the upgrade two levels event
Not the who has the biggest bankroll event
I got my jelly for a lot less then that
You must have went full baller mode and outleveled the rest. So you paid one way or the other
Repeated................. I can't even kill the Fing thing now
What thing?
Was only 2.4 million for my win
That’s still 24,000 UC
Yep just leveled upto level 39
Yea so what we are saying is the jellyfish is only for whales. Maybe 6 months it might be for the common folk
War effort points really? I'm sure some ppl paid u for them in the packs and then say there not exchangeable?
You bought it to finish alliance milestone event not to exchange in event store
@robust vapor ok thanks, definitely not worth the price tag they ask then...
I don't believe any of them are at 99
That's going to be pretty relative. If your alliance ends up 3600 points away from the top milestone, you may find it worth it then, but if it won't get you a milestone or you already finished, than it's not a good buy for you
@shrewd totem So those points that gave us to achieve the milestones in the previous arcs will not give us war funds or be useful?
It is said like that in game news🤷♂️
then they will be in the inventory gaining dust
Actually curious now if the final mission in the arc will be available for the other 99% of players who couldn't compete in the mega Borg event at some point.
it will be a mission to say thank you we stopped the borg invasion
the mega cube is leaving but it will return
when it leaves it literally destroys solar systems on its way out
They do say that it may return and when it does all points will be wiped so everyone starts at 0, so leaving it open for a rerun of Borg...
Hopefully with a chance to make a lasting impact 😂
Something to work towards, both as an alliance and a server should have been implemented..
I'm writing here to uncover a flaw in the event that makes it unfair play
And also to beg for help from the overlords at SCOPELY
I got kicked out of my alliance midway the event progress.
It was not my choice and nor my decision. It was forced on me.
The fact that swapping locks you of any rewards is 100% FLAWED, and makes it unfair play
SPECIALLY since I had no control over what happened to me. I didn't choose to swap!
Already contacted support and as usual, they are 100% NOT helpful and unwilling to cooperate; unwilling to compensate & unwilling to fix my issue.
What's the point of having "support" if all they are going to do is send invoices to SCOPELY and close ALL tickets ASAP, with the silliest of unhelpful replies, to send the most amount of invoices possible
Not being able to collect the rest of the rewards is totally unfair in my situation.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Server 31``` @here
Unfortunately it's a policy to prevent people from abusing the ability to swap Alliances in order to gain additional rewards..
You said that. To prevent abuse. Not in my case.
An yet, support wont help
That's why I am here, hopping someone with power in SCOPELY sees this and would do something
Good luck there 😅
Thanks for not including borg war effort points in the currency clean up. Absolutely no incentive to continue with the solo milestone event at all as f2p. 3.5 days off from this pathetic event 👍
I'll be doing 1 lvl25 borgmada for alb rewards tonight and that's me out of it.
This has to be one of the worst events ever in terms of rewards (and they are all pretty bad). The amount of effort to kill a Borg mega cube and all you get is the share of 5k inert probes and 500 war points You are f@&$ing kidding me
Scopely ineptitude at its usual level. The only thing they are good it is fraudulently obtaining money from people
I'm pretty sure the events are all just secondary to the event store 🤷♂️ do what you need to earn stuff in the event store, leave the leaderboards and spending to those do inclined.
Never had such a boring period in this game
It was about 25 minutes of Borg armadas which are so easy
Its made to make you bored and pay money
And when alliance reached top marker no incentive to continue
Well paying 110 euro for 16% of a shield upgrade ain’t gonna happen
110 euro should bring your ship to tier 9 fully maxed
I don't spend money when i'm bored, i spend money when i can see there's something i'll be able to do if i spend it.
Sitting at 35 i'm seeing nothing different all the way to ops40+, and prices are obscene there, so i'm f2p for the foreseeable future..
I would go to 36,at least that's my plan because I'm also stuck at 35 because of uncommons...
At 36 you get access to better rewards from events and you get Black Jelly in armada packs
At least something to hope for
thats a risk with the Epics too though..
you can get 25+ bps per month just through playing
without doing armadas
@median slate also at 36 the occasional wvent to get full unlock of jelly becomes available
Don't know
I am still 35 and Hijacked and D'vor are present. Although I must admit, I get more epics than Hijacked
no Hijacked ships in mine - I'm 36+
Awesome
Thanks for info
I need only 1200 unc crystal for shipyard 35 and off I go to 36
Which is extremely difficult to get with my refinery which loves to give me only commons 2 times per day
😂 same here 🤣
Yeah, that darn shipyard is holding me back from 36 also..
just the 3 epics and the iss jellyfish in mine (plus faction credits and officer badges )
@shrewd totem I'll ban you I swear to god...
🤣
@potent tartan and in rare packs?
@potent tartan what about the costs?
just epics in my rare packs
I need 2k credits for double at lvl34
Wait, so no more miners??? That's awesome
So something like officer patterns.. Nice idea, toss it into suggestions channel
If they do that I will get Ent and Augur in no time...
😋
They keep giving me a lot of D4 bps recently.....🤬
D4 is awesome ship. The only thing bad about it is that it needs crystal to upgrade
I would love to be able to swap bps - if you already have one epic swap additional bps you have for that for another that you may not have
D4 is crap!
Worse than Mf
At least you can scrap Mf for primes/4g rss
D4 has no use.....
MF is also a good ship. Awesome for scrapyard
I killed T5 D4s with my Sally 😂
same crews?
That's not possible if he had proper crew
I usually have Kirk/Spock/Carol(probably can do better if I use Yuki as cap) and opponent has Gorkon most of time 🤷♂️
Killed T4 Augurs as well and almost a T5 one(he had a better crew than me😅)
Yeah, so like havana said. They had a rubbish crew
At 35 the last epic chest i opened gave me 5 dvor BPs 😦 at 36 can you still get the 34 faction ships in armada chests, or is it just shite / black jelly?
Epic and Jelly
Such a downer when you've played months to get enough epic armadas to get a chest, and then you get a hijacked ship BP, or the dvor..
Wont open anymore till I am lvl36+
For reference for the 4 people that could open chests from the last epic we did, 3 got hijacked BPs, I got Dvor. We're all ops 31-35, none of us need the hijacked ships any more, and it's pointless getting 4-6 bps at a time when there's no way to obtain the other 70 odd anyway
I really hated my last double pull
what's the cost for epic chests at 36? would love to see the odds for each pull..
least you got a single useful BP 😛
Got enough for another epic but waiting till we can kill lvl33 epics, lvl30s are easy and don't drop enough creds
We kill lvl36s😅
yeesh! Think my ship is strongest in alliance and it's a 1.7m intrepid - we tried a 35 rare the other day and it took 2 shots, just over half health each shot
Since Scopley has said other things will be cash in able for borg at the end, do we know their value?
You need some decent Epic 3gs for lvl36 Epics and lvl38 rares,after that credits arent a big problem to get
@sharp pawn nope
of course, thanks @shrewd totem
I'm going to be rather upset if it turns out you can turn in 10 megacube directives, 1 of each warp cell for more war funds than you could get from the solo event tiers doing the megacube got you..
I am spending all of it,not trusting Scopely
same - but i have a feeling i'll be getting annoyed soon..
Saving 22.5k war funds till i see whether the BAU mission chain gives any useful rewards, otherwise it's all gone on ent BPs so far
the missions are aimed at lv25, rewards and difficulty....
that tells me nothing..
if it rewards a decent amount of g3 or faction credits i'll do, but i've got nothing to benchmark a lvl25 mission at as all the ones i picked up at ops25 were ones meant for way higher ops..
I think I’m going to set the game down if it’s more borg armadas as the only event. This is by far the most boring event I’ve ever been apart of
If LCARS is correct I'll be better off spending war funds on dil and trit tokens than taking the mission for those rewards 🤔
That's mission 1 of 15, it all depends on the rewards (and possible costs) of the other 14 in the chain. Once again scopely has made it all but impossible to make an informed decision
Broken mirror definitely doesn't look worth it's cost, even with 4 run throughs of mirror mirror thrown in
@abstract gate @abstract gate based on the queries over the last couple of days, I'm looking at adding an option to tally the rewards by the mission chain
@quick sand that would be a time saver for sure
Yes, I'm always happy to add timesavers 🙂
Btw, it didn't show the chain using the chain option.
Will this one be up in time for us to make an informed decision about event store missions?
Hopefully yes ...
Yea, reward summary would be helpful
Honestly I'm not inclined to spend war funds on missions unless I can get better than 150/200mil par from them (Broken mirror/bua)
Same
what's the cost for epic chests at 36? would love to see the odds for each pull..
@winged tulip
1600 per chest for 36-37
2.5k/chest at 38
Doesnt matter when you do one every 6 months or so.
At 38 it's just g3 epic bp's, jf bp's (up to full unlock), g3 uc/rare and g4 uc/common
Armadas are for whale pods
Oh and faction credits
Yep I'm 38 I've opened 2 epic chests since armadas rolled out, 1 at 34, 1 at 36
Every iteration of armadas so far has been underwhelming at best and goddamned tragic at worst (mega cubes)
@abstract gate 100% accurate.
You're lucky tho. I've done 3 or 4 epics since armadas came out and opened 0 chests 🤣
Yeah having a maxed sally made me popular with the whales running epics in my alliance lol
Without it I doubt I'd have opened one chest yet
Really wish they would take ship bps out of the chests for ships you already have.
Or just replace them altogether with increased faction credit rewards allowing us to choose what we needed from the faction store
Far too much bloat in the rare and epic boxes imo. Especially at lower lvl's...horizon bp's I'm looking at you
@abstract gate @abstract gate based on the queries over the last couple of days, I'm looking at adding an option to tally the rewards by the mission chain
@quick sand that would be awesome 👏
That's mission 1 of 15, it all depends on the rewards (and possible costs) of the other 14 in the chain. Once again scopely has made it all but impossible to make an informed decision
@abstract gate thanks, I thought that was all we were going to get lol
There's 10 independent missions followed by 5 faction missions (faction choosen and locked in by you at the beginning of the chain) @gusty glen
So potentiality a handful of faction credits plus some rss, maybe shards too...one bad donation mission in there could make it all worthless though
Very true, let's hope there isn't a donation mission then, thanks for the info 👍
I just want a military supremacy event so I can collect my ready built augur from the shipyard lol
I just want them to fix the awfulness of supremacy events needing everyone to kill lvl40 ships when they're rarer than rocking horse poop with an event on
Them mirror mirror missions are not worth it imo; apart from the tedious flying to A to B to C back to B again through A, there’s only couple of kirk shards that might be worth it for some, but that’s just about it 🤷🏽♂️
*a couple
Does swarm sunday get any harder at 36? sounds like i need to prep to rush to 37 then park there for half a year..
@winged tulip me too mate...I'm only looking forward to the next one because augur gives 1k points insta completing it
disagree @tawdry kindle remember, mirror mirror missions gave valuable rare and epic kirk shards. for those players without a maxed epic kirk card, this is actually a very cheap way to obtain them, even if the missions are slightly "mundane" we talkeda bout this on yesterdays pod, you can obtain 7 epic kirk shards for the 16k war funds it's asking for the missions. that's relatively cheap compared to the other epics in thes tore, IF YOU haven't yet maxed out kirk.
@winged tulip 525 points for heroic, 32's give 2 pts still
cool, thanks - no harder than ops34/5 then!
Epic kirk shards only valuable if you have the officer badges to promote him..
so your argument is i don' have the badges, so i dont need to work on collecting the shards? what if you DID get a badge? then THAT'S when you start collecting shards?
With no realistic access to badges shards aren't a priority compared to all the other crap we actually need in the store
Not really an argument - currently no way to get badges regularly, while i get dripfed shards all the time. I know which i expect to have completed first..
Yeh lol, that’s what I said @nova valley , that it might be worth it for some 😋
I ain’t having my own kirk maxed yet, yet them missions still ain’t worth it for me; would rather be spending me war goodies on 10of10 or sone of those dvor parts, as they are waaaay harder to accumulate ingame 😉
good points @abstract gate and @tawdry kindle
what's beautiful is we have a choice. event stores (when properly done) are amazing.
Yeah i do like hte event store, it's just a shame that everything you do to get points in it is boring
@nova valley if it was properly done we'd be able to buy badges in there
If just anything was a bit more properly done, we wouldn’t be having so many “we are aware of the issue” scopy messages from time to time 😂
It's been a permanent paywall since pre-release, there's literally no way to max out the must have officers without spending
Lol, there is no issue as far as scopely are concerned. It's just designed to force you into spending or stalling
They'll fix it when more people decide to stall than spend..
They put badges in faction loyalty boxes...then made those a one time only purchase per faction...as far as they are concerned they have already addressed the issue
Everything else in the game can be gained from playing albeit slowly (notable exceptions Franklin etc). Badges are for spenders only though...because reasons?
Imagine how good this game could be if EVERY design decision wasn't aimed at lifting as much money as possible from us!
Wonder if someone could explain the concept of the laffer curve to them as applied to games - sometimes requiring more money gets you less!
Certainly for stuff like enterprise, ship upgrades, borg packs, armada packs, i look at how much they want for how little value and decide to spend nothing instead..

@winged tulip well 110 euro for 16% of needed uncommon for a T6 shield of a ship is a pretty clear no go
Best use of event store? I have the borg tribble, the dvor. What are you guys getting? I'm considering parts for the dvor so I can quickly tier it up, or officer recruitment
Do you have a Franklin? @neat plover
ent BPs, finished off a few uncommon borg officers and 7/10. The epic officers looked too expensive for what they gave, i'll just wait till they're in ultra packs
No money until i get some interesting content to play.
Oh, event store - i spent my war funds mostly on enterprise, seemed to be harder to get than ultra shards to me
don't have option for enterprise yet.
Already have my level ship, was considering faction miners but not sure
roughly 1600 ultra shards per enterprise blueprint - and there's very little i can use in ultra shard packs right now without a source of officer badges, so they're pretty useless till new officers are added
ok. I still have officers I can promote without badages if I get enough shards
@earnest citrus Yes I have the franklin
Then no need to get shards for it 🙂 D'vor parts might be worth buying, depending upon what tier yours is
It's fairly cheap to get enough parts to get it to T5 via the event store
I'm at tier 1 with the D'vor. How many parts do I need to get it to T5? @earnest citrus
@neat plover About 6k
OK so that would be the middle pack, any other suggestions? Would spending on faction miners be worth it?
If you're in your 30s and close to one already, I'd say yes
Only if you've got a LOT of crystal to tier it too
Not close to any, at most have 2 prints, would have to buy from faction store, I do have enough faction credits to get the 100 bp needed
reckon it becomes useful around t4
If you don't have the crystal as well, it's not worth blowing your credits on them
Them mirror mirror missions are not worth it imo; apart from the tedious flying to A to B to C back to B again through A, there’s only couple of kirk shards that might be worth it for some, but that’s just about it 🤷🏽♂️
@tawdry kindle Not without BADGES!!
so get crystal from event store then? I can get around 400 uncommon
Ohh yeah 3 days more of borgmadas
Dear Scopely,
Enough with the Megacubes.
Sincerely,
Everyone
what are the rewards for mirror mirror, and buisness as usual?
OK so that would be the middle pack, any other suggestions? Would spending on faction miners be worth it?
@neat plover They are worth having but I would go for the Kvort first as you need a BUCKET ton of crystal in this game!! The Dvor parts are also useful since they cant be farmed like prints so its up to you. Kvort needs to be T6 or T7 to really be usefull
Was planing on going for the Kvort first, but wondering If I should get it via faction credits or the event store?
I can get uncommon crystal from the event store
Bored of this now
Bored of this 1 hour after the first borgmada..
It is quite cheap in the faction store really (compaired to say a Brel) so probably better going with the crystal from the event store.
ok thanks
3 more days of these borgmada? jeez... Said it before, saying it again: Should never have more than 48 hours in a row of the same activity
This is beyond stupid...😱
Wait there is still an event going on? our alliance completed the thresholds like a week ago!?!?
Another 3 days of this god awful excuse for an event?? 😡😡 imma go play a decent mmo until it’s all over instead of this pay to win nonsense 😡
Tell that to our alliance. It’s like Pokemon, gotta catch em all 😂
Did only members that actually participated in the Borg Onslaught Armadas get the winnings from the event? My Alliance won the event, and I didn't get any winnings from it. Is it because I'm too low level or something?
You have to participate to get rewards
Dude, I cannot believe we have at least 3 more days off this BS. This is the most boring event stfc has had, rewards are trash, no skill just flying to random borgs every 5 minutes. Jesus Christ, a freaking mining event would be heaven now
Garbage, straight garbage
They have “passed” your message to their team. They can’t however guarantee immediate changes 😂 Scorply, you have truly outdone yourself with this shitmarda event.
The lifetime of borgmadas has absolutely killed any good that was in this content. It's the most useless trash scopely have put out for a while. Makes domination look decent
It’s complex for no reason, then when you figure it out it’s so easy and dull you don’t even want to do it
And even if you kill 250 armada you still have to go get nanoprobes and grind for the refinery so you can upgrade this stupid ship, which is somehow much better than the franklin but still stupid
It's the equivalent of a d3
It's better than a d3 imho as it uses less crystal. Crystal is literally the lifeblood of this game, I need like 6,600 Uc to tier my Kvort to T7, another 1800 for my Saladin to Tier 5 and another 750 for my Shipyard. But don't worry the refinery (3x refines) just gave me 7 for christs sake!!
All the faction miners needing craploads of crystal is a real kick in the pants. I kinda figured they would need based on their faction, or be more balanced, but nope, just crystal all the time
Yep which is one of the reasons why klingons are a important faction
is it true we won't be able to turn in our leftover useless jumk for actually useful stuff at the end of this?
When is the Bonus Refinery coming back? It’s been more than 7 weeks since the last one! 😡
@nova valley I know that, but in galaxy chat, someone said it has been confinrmed that it WON'T be convertable
that's why I'm asking
i'm gonna guess that the player in GC is wrong... the information is right there lol
now i think we also DO know that finally, they've answered thq eustion on borg POINTS from arcs 1-3. those won' be able to be turned in. but we kinda expected that
@nova sierra Anything named points from this event or earlier will not be convertible
so... the useless junk I was referring to
all good.. was just asking
oh, i didn't understand the phrasing of yoru question. yes, the points are not going to be redeemable
@floral trail better payout than what the refinery is giving me. 2 days if just common for all 3 materials
now.... if we could just get scopley to drop the whole concept of armadas, I'd be ok with that
I really was looking forward to bronze 🙄 saved up my pocket money for it
🤔
Any news on a hotfix perhaps? I'm guessing the devs are aware but no announcement yet. They'll probably just give bronze to everyone lol
When will the madness of Borg Armadas end?
Not soon enough
3 days
They screwed up and put silver frame in for prize, where is the bronze frame scopely?
Many people have mentioned it already, feel free to post it in #👾-bug-reporting
Ty
Why is this event still existing
Frames and avatars are absolutely useless pieces of💩. More thievery from Scopely.
welcome to Star Trek Frame Command
“We know our commercials are super not what this game is, BUT look at these frames for your avatar you will never notice!”
I've just seen an advert for STFC when on another game.. looks a lot different than the real thing!
It has been mentioned, yes.
Get your 500 or 2500 points and then move along. That's the name of the game with this event.
9 days scopely 9days of one of the lamest events...seriously do you actually read the event feedback or just cherry pick the rare nice comments or dont understand sarcasm
I am so bored of this, don't want to get the points anymore, not worth it
On the positive side, the Event Store is great - I think Scopely hit the mark with that one.
But yes, I could use a bit more variety overall.
Remove all events,leave event store alone+ add carousel change you have in other places+give everyone 500k funds. That would be the best thing they can do😂
Was going to say 400k funds but I like your idea better.
I would be happy if we could exchange this for war funds
Would be nice. News item says it's not happening though.
i know
but to have it in the inventory ... better that they let us exchange it even if it is at 5: 1 or so (5 being those points and 1 being war funds)
@unreal osprey i prefer in the other way ^^
@subtle crow I also think the other thing is better, but this sounds more reasonable for scopely and we keep winning a little
They've said if the Borg arc was re released these currency would be wiped before it was rerun to allow fairness, since these are just to represent reaching milestone events and not event item currency I don't see a problem.
You couldn't buy anything with these during events. So why should you be able to now or later.
It can be, but having it there in the inventory ... it hurts that they do not let it change for points
No it is points to a milestone it hurts nothing, what about all mission items left over you have, you want them exchanged too., or frequency modulators left over after completion of franklin, or all the 2* ore you don't need anymore? It's non sensical
It wasn't an event currency.
Only event currency can be exchanged.
The pts gave you rewards at pts milestones you already had those rewards, now you want double rewards again, for what you already received.
OK let's remove everything you received in milestones. And give you a 500 to 1 exchange rate for parsteel.
Happy now?
Even the chat bot is over boremadas
we are not going to understand each other, it bothers me that those points are useless now and I would prefer that they be left to exchange for points for the store and that's it, there is nothing more to say, you have your opinion and I have mine.
This event is absolutely terrible. Surely you can see that players are on average completing less then 1% of the daily event. 500 points out of a possible 60,000. And the Borg armada’s are absolutely terrible. You either have armadas that have a reward so pathetic it’s basically non existent OR you have mega cube targets that are unkillable for all except the top 0.01% of players.
This event is obviously not meant for most players but only for the highest levels, biggest alliances, and paying players.
