congratz.. probabily i will look other game to play.... epic failure do scopely with this great oportunity event... they treat out phase 2 and 3 realy bad

modern estuary
#

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

granite zenith
#

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... 😂

modern estuary
#

there you have it

chilly venture
#

it's cubed guys...

granite zenith
#

technically so is the milky way 🤣 3d is 3d

mint blade
#

Everyone knows Milky Ways are rectangular.🙄

carmine lily
#

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.

granite zenith
#

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

modern estuary
#

so for a cube to have 100000 ly cubed its sides have to be 46.42ly each

mint blade
#

It's definitely an anti-climax of biblical proportions.

#

Actually ignore that, biblical is quite an exaggeration.

granite zenith
#

no it would be 100, 000 x 100, 000 x 100, 000

#

thus the cubed

#

with each side being ... wait for it... 100, 000

modern estuary
#

that is enourmous would drag stars towards it

mint blade
#

It dragged me towards it.

modern estuary
#

10x 10x 10 = 1000

#

what math class did you go to?

#

100x 100 x100 = 1000000

granite zenith
#

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

carmine lily
#

A galaxy sized borg cube would collapse into a singularity under the pressure of its own mass.

modern estuary
#

yes but 100000 is not a perfect cube root

granite zenith
#

no one said it was... it said its size was 100, 000 cubed

#

not the total

modern estuary
#

so what is the cube root of 100000?

granite zenith
#

who cares

modern estuary
#

46.42

carmine lily
#

i'm sure the 100,000 is an estimate, not the exact number... still ridiculously impossible tho.

granite zenith
#

100,000³

dapper drum
#

you all forget one key thing

#

they are borg

granite zenith
#

Not 46.42³

dapper drum
#

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

granite zenith
#

This IS sci-fi🤣

modern estuary
#

46.42 x 46.42 x 46.42 = 100.026 to be exact

carmine lily
#

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.

gloomy current
#

They would be unable to assimilate anything because they would just absorb it

granite zenith
#

facepalm and that would be described as 46.42 cubed... not 100, 000 cubed

haughty swallow
#

Omega molecule

#

Nuff said

modern estuary
#

what? its 100000ly3 which is l 46.42ly x h 46.42ly x w46.42ly

#

volume = L X H X W

weak copper
#

You’re seriously arguing about this? 🤣🤣

winter leaf
#

Anyone know how to to the cubed symbol in game?

rough frost
granite zenith
#

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

winter leaf
#

@granite zenith In bluestacks?

#

haughty summit
#

And why are there no charged nanos in the event store???

modern estuary
#

convert inerts to charged in borg tech refinery

chilly venture
#

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...

long slate
#

Is it me or is mega cube Event a complete flop?

#

No one’s participating LOL

long arrow
#

Shocking event

#

Terrible rewards..

split mortar
#

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 😁

dry cosmos
#

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.....

split mortar
#

This game seems to have become a slap in the face for most players... the Borg event being a wake up call.

ashen wharf
#

Armadas last year should have been the wake up call..

#

but gave them a second chance

#

third time now?

split mortar
#

Third time the charm

ashen wharf
#

If they add more toll systems lol

split mortar
#

😂

ashen wharf
#

Dont think alot of people will continue playing..

dry cosmos
#

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

ashen wharf
#

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

split mortar
#

It does say recommended lvl 25+, maybe scopely intended to screw the lower levels anyway

ashen wharf
#

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

split mortar
#

Well if you can afford to get to level 50, shouldn’t need to feed on the snack levels

ashen wharf
#

They do in some servers

#

If they see you unshielded at all they just hit you just because

split mortar
#

Nice

ashen wharf
#

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

split mortar
#

Like my server

#

Mining is all there is

dry cosmos
#

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

ashen wharf
#

they only care about dollar bills nothing more

split mortar
#

Scopely just want get rich quick, move on to next scam

ashen wharf
#

Twd game, wwe, and their other games are a clear indicatior

split mortar
#

Why care about players?

ashen wharf
#

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

split mortar
#

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.

nova valley
#

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.

@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 😔

summer pecan
#

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.

long slate
#

$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

summer pecan
#

Agreed

long slate
#

Bean counters were obviously involved in the process laughin

#

Actually, I could have used one of the Scopely bean counters to manage my borg event currencies laughin I was a little confused with all of the tokens they introduced for this event. LOL

abstract gate
#

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.

long slate
#

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.

abstract gate
#

Exactly

This isn’t an invasion

Mega shit

hallow pelican

They had no idea what to put there...

#

Might as well have been empty, for all I care.

noble oar
#

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

gusty glen
#

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.

gilded nebula
#

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.

unreal osprey
#

I only went to spend the directives, I did not expect the cube to kill me 3 times in the same armada

Gogo kevin

#

Scopely give us KEVIN the choosen one!

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.

prisma geode
#

Mega Borg cube = shear disappointment. Scopely needs a test server full of actual players. To avoid repeatedly releasing garbage.

wanton vector
#

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 😂

pale breach
#

Anyone got the picture of what officer abilities don’t work vs borgmadas?

chilly venture
twin mason
#

facepalm 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😂😂😂)

pallid bone
#

3x3(=9)x3=27

twin mason
#

3x3(=9)x3=27
@pallid bone Agreed, tell me what the Length, Height and Width of a 9m3 cube is?

#

3m

abstract gate
#

@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.

sudden raptor
#

Experiment... with 1 armada to start, and one to gain in a few days... oh my....

abstract gate
#

Indeed... 😕

elder quiver
#

Lvl25? Lmao

thin heart
#

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...

dreamy root
#

You would expect a max divar to do something

thin heart
#

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 🤷🏼‍♂️

sudden raptor
#

You can sell your probes for fraction things

swift fossil
#

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

gusty glen
#

@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.

swift fossil
#

I wish they had published the limits. I would have spent borg funds differently had i known

meager galleon
#

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

abstract gate
#

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

swift fossil
#

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

abstract gate
#

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

swift fossil
#

Im not sure what you mean by that

#

I maxed out the exchange while it was there

#

What gamble are you referring?

meager galleon
#

These packs were the original exchange

abstract gate
#

If you had more than 300 then you obviously withheld some first time around gambling that a better reward might appear later

meager galleon
#

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

abstract gate
#

Yup, spent all mine first time around and then got to spend them all again this time....win win for me

swift fossil
#

Nice

meager galleon
#

It was announced via in game news and announcements

#

If you failed to read then it’s unfortunate your loss

abstract gate
#

All in all I'd say those of us that dumped 270 into first set of rewards have benefited more than the gamblers

swift fossil
#

Itd still be cool if they published the limits. They do for everything else. Like limit 60 bp in event store

meager galleon
#

Would not have made a difference as the previous redemption ran out last phase anyway

#

You would still have been left with tokens

swift fossil
#

It would have effected how i plan the war fund spend

analog yarrow
#

Will we be able to exchange the three sets of monthly tokens we all have 200k+ of at the end of this event

#

?

abstract gate
#

Unknown at this time @analog yarrow panic has said they were looking into it but nothing has been said since

gusty glen
#

@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!

meager galleon
#

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

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.

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

analog yarrow
#

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

weak copper
#

8 days of this...we twice voted faction hunt our favourite event. Why can’t we get 8 days of that? 😬

abstract gate
#

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.

weak copper
#

Yep, Borg arc overall has been great, and the event store is great. But this final arc and it’s events are trash.

abstract gate
#

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😀😀

weak copper

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.

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

dreamy root
#

I liked arcs 1-3 more

kindred light
#

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.

🤮

drowsy viper
#

There’s another phase ?

earnest citrus
#

Only the epilogue phase, where the megacube is gone but can still spend in the event store

drowsy viper
#

@earnest citrus That’s limited to certain alliances that meet the condition to start the epilogue mission I think

earnest citrus
#

@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.

robust vapor
drowsy viper
#

@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

earnest citrus
#

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

drowsy viper
#

Well, it wouldn’t be surprising if they meant a “final” effort. Scopely is big fan in that type of things

earnest citrus
#

Please no. We've all suffered enough.

drowsy viper
#

Hahaha indeed. I wish they do it simple, but in any case I’m preparing for the worst

robust vapor
#

It doesn't read like a new leaderboard to me.
I'm more interested in the chance to transform event currencies though 🤔

earnest citrus
#

That would be so good

noble oar
#

tomorrow there'll be another MC event but this time with decent rewards so people feel compelled to spend

flint kettle
#

Will the MC still be valid after the current event? I guess so?

earnest citrus
#

We don't know. Current guess is no.

flint kettle
#

Bad and unclear communication once again.

shrewd totem
#

Probably yes. There is still 2 more upcoming alliance leaderboards

#

Or do you mean whole phase 3 by saying current event

flint kettle
#

That's the guess.

#

Or how they formulate it.

shrewd totem
flint kettle
#

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.

shrewd totem
#

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

flint kettle
#

Agreed.

#

This screenshot put things in good perspective. Cheers Bat. Thx for the help once again 👍

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?

weak copper
#

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

gilded laurel
#

Just throwing this out there other than event store this 3rd borg event is a huge disappointment.

dreamy root
#

I’m not getting 10of10

#

The main reason I wanted this event

limpid geode
#

they should have reduced the cost of all the items in the event store by half

dreamy root
#

I would still be 155k away from 10of10

#

Even after buying all the BP I needed

robust vapor
#

.. what about if you didn't buy the BP you needed?
I feel like I'm getting too much war funds now though 😬

dreamy root
#

Still won’t be close

dapper drum
#

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

cosmic sage
#

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.

carmine lily
#

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.

merry fulcrum
#

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

carmine lily
#

not a plus side when only 3 people got them through a lottery.

dreamy root
#

@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

wait until the last day and get everyone in your alliance to start a megacube armada at the same time

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.

abstract gate
#

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.

winged tulip

Attempting to lick my own elbow is more entertaining than borgmadas.

keen ledge

🤔

tawny coyote
#

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.

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. 😕

prisma geode
#

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

granite zenith
#

3 more days... try 6 more days 🤣

meager galleon
#

@prisma geode which mission chain

slim crow
#

When do we lower level players get a chance to spend War Funds to acquire the Ultra Borg Officer shards?

hushed pagoda
#

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.

prisma geode
#

@meager galleon mirror mirror. Or am I mistaken that wasn’t tied to the iss jelly

meager galleon
#

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

prisma geode
#

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.

hushed pagoda
#

You can buy the auction - second place was 4M points in my server - if u’re clever, maybe £2.5k?

prisma geode
#

Yeah not that cheap on mine.

meager galleon
#

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

cedar echo
#

@meager galleon I think ISS Jelly has been available both in auctions (36+) and rush to lvl+2 events after level 35.

meager galleon
#

Yes, but it’s pretty much the same thing 🙂

cedar echo
#

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).

abstract gate
#

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)

earnest citrus
abstract gate
#

Okay thanks. Is it the one that branches to the different faction specific mission trees?

earnest citrus
#

Yeah, near the end of the mission tree you get to choose a faction choice

abstract gate
#

Ty @earnest citrus that’s what I was hoping

cunning arrow
#

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.

oblique grotto
#

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.

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

granite zenith
#

and the 3rd set of events are same again... working towards an alliance frame in silver... then bronze

modern estuary
#

gotta be the worst event ever

meager galleon
#

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

Too bad we don't have a past mission log, to see if and how much of those missions we've completed...

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.

earnest citrus
#

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.

noble oar
#

Are the rewards worth mentioning or fairly obsolete?

granite zenith
#

rare spock or epic kirk single shard if i recall correctly

normal oar
#

I didn't find "Mirror, Mirror" in LCARS, but for "Broken Mirror", there were 2 Spock, 1 Kirk, and various other rewards.

mental yoke
#

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

@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

mortal zodiac

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 beelieShrug

mortal zodiac
#

😂🤣😂🤣😂

wanton cloud
#

@neat plover there is a limit on how many you can convert, 290 or 300

robust vapor
#

@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.

neat plover
#

@wanton cloud thanks wish they told us what the cap was

robust vapor
#

Players were advised to spend their tokens as there would be a cap on conversion later.

neat plover
#

I did spend what I could those were leftover

They just had an event to win the Bps if that's what your looking for

tidal zinc
#

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.

limber cobalt
#

Frames and avatars are terrible rewards regardless

robust vapor

And yet how many people aren't using them 🤔

limber cobalt

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

Just because they are bad rewards doesn't mean people won't use them

I just needed 6 I think

pseudo ibex

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

pseudo ibex
#

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..

keen ledge
#

My refi actually laughs at me, at this point.

pseudo ibex
#

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

What Neme5i5 said is true...

I'd love to see how many borgmadas the devs/CMs have done in this event..

How much longer can I earn event currency with daily solo events?

earnest citrus
#

@abstract gate Another 4d probably

gusty glen
#

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.

raw zenith
#

some are soloing the mega cubes 😆

gusty glen
#

?!?!?!

#

I've seen a few screenshots of teams on other servers but no solos!

robust vapor
#

Well that's just silly..

raw zenith
#

😆

#

it is possible

winged tulip
#

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.. 💩

robust vapor
#

I think my Alliance stopped at killing two 🤔 only worth it for the leaderboard points, and meh.

raw zenith
#

I havent launched a single mega cube. And i have 20 mega directives

winged tulip
#

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.

gusty glen
#

I launched for the 5000pts you get for spending the directives. Didn't turn up to it though 😂

raw zenith
#

im just mining and working on locking final faction

#

i care nothing about this event

winged tulip
#

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.

robust vapor
#

You can't use more than 450k of each though 😬

winged tulip
#

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 😦

abstract gate
#

<@&509691205798592532> this borg event being all armadas really sucks!!!

meager galleon
#

Don’t think you needed to tag us to tell us that

jaunty sonnet
#

@meager galleon Yeah but he REALLY wanted you to know he told you

#

😂

floral trail
#

@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.

winged tulip
#

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.

floral trail
#

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.

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?

lament skiff
#

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

weak copper
#

At least that’s something with a goal to work towards and a decent reward for the perseverance, unlike a certain other event...

merry fulcrum
#

Honestly, this event is better than military supremacy

wanton cloud
#

strongly disagree @merry fulcrum lol

ripe hatch
#

If you even get military supremacy events... I never get them

fleet ridge
#

@merry fulcrum i love supremacy best event ever - borg armadas suck a**

abstract gate
#

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.

merry fulcrum
#

We're almost at the first avatars

sonic belfry
#

Hey, speaking of avatars...at least we can waste our faction credits on them now. 😁😁🤢🤮

merry fulcrum
#

Meh it's more options in the store, lol

lilac pumice
#

Are we going to have a refining event soon?

fleet ridge
#

@abstract gate supremacy is just killing 500 ships it’s easy and u get huge rewards so it’s actually pretty good

ashen wharf
#

"huge"

fleet ridge
#

better than mining for sure

abstract gate
#

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

abstract gate
#

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

dapper drum
#

I get the easy ride lvl 38's

#

and normally happens with faction hunt

#

@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

tawny olive
#

@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

earnest citrus
#

I can see it being repeated, just on a smaller scale and a much-tweaked event organisation

keen ledge

And hopefully not for 2 weeks straight.

granite zenith

ie... you can't sped the war funds directly... but you can buy borg armada directives which can be exchanges

hasty lintel
#

What level do i need to be for Business as Usual to show up in my store?

granite zenith
#

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

clear dirge
#

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

hasty lintel
#

It says tuned for 25-26, does not say you cannot buy it at a different level

granite zenith
#

well... if you dont see it... you are too low

earnest citrus
#

Hmm, the news item says Business as Usual is completely new, but people remember doing it before and the details are in LCARS 🤔

fresh bramble
#

so what are the awards for the missions. Is it worth spending the points for them

earnest citrus
#

Ask again in 4 days, people will know then

if you are level 25 you would want the borg keys

earnest citrus
#

The Borg missions are nice lore, if you didn't do them in Arc 1/2/3

hasty lintel

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?

tawny olive

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?

@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

Was only 2.4 million for my win

That’s still 24,000 UC

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?

shrewd totem
#

You bought it to finish alliance milestone event not to exchange in event store

tame sequoia
flat fog
#

@robust vapor ok thanks, definitely not worth the price tag they ask then...

bold mica
#

I don't believe any of them are at 99

woven belfry
#

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

unreal osprey
#

@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?

shrewd totem
#

It is said like that in game news🤷‍♂️

unreal osprey
#

then they will be in the inventory gaining dust

fathom light
#

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.

ashen wharf
#

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

inland hamlet
#

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...

robust vapor

Hopefully with a chance to make a lasting impact 😂
Something to work towards, both as an alliance and a server should have been implemented..

snow axle
#

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
robust vapor
#

Unfortunately it's a policy to prevent people from abusing the ability to swap Alliances in order to gain additional rewards..

snow axle
#

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

robust vapor
#

Good luck there 😅

abstract gate
#

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.

dark verge
#

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

robust vapor
#

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.

uneven dove
#

Never had such a boring period in this game

#

It was about 25 minutes of Borg armadas which are so easy

ashen wharf
#

Its made to make you bored and pay money

uneven dove
#

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

winged tulip
#

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..

abstract gate
#

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

potent tartan
#

thats a risk with the Epics too though..

#

you can get 25+ bps per month just through playing

#

without doing armadas

abstract gate
#

@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

potent tartan
#

no Hijacked ships in mine - I'm 36+

abstract gate
#

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

shrewd totem
#

No hj bps in Epic armada chests after lvl36?😮

#

I am rushing my ops again🤣

abstract gate

😂 same here 🤣

robust vapor
#

Yeah, that darn shipyard is holding me back from 36 also..

shrewd totem
#

I have enough unc but par might be a problem

Only have 2.5b

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...

abstract gate
#

@potent tartan and in rare packs?

shrewd totem
#

@potent tartan what about the costs?

potent tartan
#

just epics in my rare packs

shrewd totem
#

I need 2k credits for double at lvl34

abstract gate
#

Wait, so no more miners??? That's awesome

shrewd totem
#

Wow

#

Rush rush rush😂. This is going to hurt 😢

#

Would be costly for them😂

abstract gate
#

So something like officer patterns.. Nice idea, toss it into suggestions channel

shrewd totem
#

If they do that I will get Ent and Augur in no time...

#

😋

#

They keep giving me a lot of D4 bps recently.....🤬

abstract gate
#

D4 is awesome ship. The only thing bad about it is that it needs crystal to upgrade

potent tartan
#

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

shrewd totem
#

D4 is crap!

#

Worse than Mf

#

At least you can scrap Mf for primes/4g rss

#

D4 has no use.....

abstract gate
#

MF is also a good ship. Awesome for scrapyard

shrewd totem
#

I killed T5 D4s with my Sally 😂

potent tartan
#

same crews?

abstract gate
#

That's not possible if he had proper crew

shrewd totem
#

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😅)

hardy parcel
#

Yeah, so like havana said. They had a rubbish crew

winged tulip
#

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?

shrewd totem
#

Epic and Jelly

winged tulip
#

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..

shrewd totem
#

Wont open anymore till I am lvl36+

winged tulip
#

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

shrewd totem
#

I really hated my last double pull

winged tulip
#

what's the cost for epic chests at 36? would love to see the odds for each pull..

shrewd totem
#

Probably twice more expensive @winged tulip

winged tulip
#

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

shrewd totem
#

We kill lvl36s😅

winged tulip
#

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

sharp pawn
#

Since Scopley has said other things will be cash in able for borg at the end, do we know their value?

shrewd totem
#

You need some decent Epic 3gs for lvl36 Epics and lvl38 rares,after that credits arent a big problem to get

#

@sharp pawn nope

sharp pawn
#

of course, thanks @shrewd totem

winged tulip
#

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..

shrewd totem
#

I am spending all of it,not trusting Scopely

winged tulip
#

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

dire veldt
#

the missions are aimed at lv25, rewards and difficulty....

winged tulip
#

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..

languid cove
#

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

gusty glen
#

If LCARS is correct I'll be better off spending war funds on dil and trit tokens than taking the mission for those rewards 🤔

abstract gate
#

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

quick sand
#

@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

abstract gate
#

@quick sand that would be a time saver for sure

quick sand
#

Yes, I'm always happy to add timesavers 🙂

abstract gate
#

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?

quick sand
#

Hopefully yes ...

abstract gate
#

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

hardy parcel
#

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

shrewd totem
#

Not bad

#

I will rush when there is an ops event soon

abstract gate
#

2.5k/chest at 38

hardy parcel
#

Doesnt matter when you do one every 6 months or so.

abstract gate
#

At 38 it's just g3 epic bp's, jf bp's (up to full unlock), g3 uc/rare and g4 uc/common

hardy parcel
#

Armadas are for whale pods

abstract gate
#

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)

hardy parcel
#

@abstract gate 100% accurate.

You're lucky tho. I've done 3 or 4 epics since armadas came out and opened 0 chests 🤣

abstract gate
#

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

prisma geode
#

Really wish they would take ship bps out of the chests for ships you already have.

abstract gate
#

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

gusty glen
#

@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

abstract gate
#

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

gusty glen
#

Very true, let's hope there isn't a donation mission then, thanks for the info 👍

abstract gate
#

I just want a military supremacy event so I can collect my ready built augur from the shipyard lol

winged tulip
#

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

tawdry kindle
#

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

winged tulip
#

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..

abstract gate
#

@winged tulip me too mate...I'm only looking forward to the next one because augur gives 1k points insta completing it

nova valley
#

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.

abstract gate
#

@winged tulip 525 points for heroic, 32's give 2 pts still

winged tulip
#

cool, thanks - no harder than ops34/5 then!

#

Epic kirk shards only valuable if you have the officer badges to promote him..

nova valley
#

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?

abstract gate
#

With no realistic access to badges shards aren't a priority compared to all the other crap we actually need in the store

winged tulip
#

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..

tawdry kindle
#

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 😉

nova valley
#

good points @abstract gate and @tawdry kindle

what's beautiful is we have a choice. event stores (when properly done) are amazing.

winged tulip
#

Yeah i do like hte event store, it's just a shame that everything you do to get points in it is boring

abstract gate
#

@nova valley if it was properly done we'd be able to buy badges in there

tawdry kindle
#

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 😂

abstract gate
#

It's been a permanent paywall since pre-release, there's literally no way to max out the must have officers without spending

hardy parcel
#

Lol, there is no issue as far as scopely are concerned. It's just designed to force you into spending or stalling

winged tulip
#

They'll fix it when more people decide to stall than spend..

abstract gate
#

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!

winged tulip
#

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..

Are Borg officers bugged note Hull health

@winged tulip well 110 euro for 16% of needed uncommon for a T6 shield of a ship is a pretty clear no go

neat plover
#

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

earnest citrus
#

Do you have a Franklin? @neat plover

winged tulip
#

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

neat plover
#

yes havea franklin

#

so what about buying ultra packs from the store @winged tulip

winged tulip
#

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

neat plover
#

don't have option for enterprise yet.

#

Already have my level ship, was considering faction miners but not sure

winged tulip
#

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

neat plover
#

ok. I still have officers I can promote without badages if I get enough shards

#

@earnest citrus Yes I have the franklin

earnest citrus
#

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

neat plover
#

I'm at tier 1 with the D'vor. How many parts do I need to get it to T5? @earnest citrus

earnest citrus
#

@neat plover About 6k

neat plover
#

OK so that would be the middle pack, any other suggestions? Would spending on faction miners be worth it?

earnest citrus
#

If you're in your 30s and close to one already, I'd say yes

winged tulip
#

Only if you've got a LOT of crystal to tier it too

neat plover
#

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

winged tulip
#

reckon it becomes useful around t4

earnest citrus
#

If you don't have the crystal as well, it's not worth blowing your credits on them

floral trail
#

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!!

neat plover
#

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.

what are the rewards for mirror mirror, and buisness as usual?

Another 3 days of this bullshit?

#

Did creativity die?

floral trail
#

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

neat plover
#

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

terse path
#

Bored of this now

winged tulip
#

Bored of this 1 hour after the first borgmada..

floral trail
#

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.

neat plover
#

ok thanks

nova sierra
#

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 😡

exotic hare
#

Tell that to our alliance. It’s like Pokemon, gotta catch em all 😂

unique hedge
#

Yeah, but the new one gives silver frame again

rough dust
#

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?

neat plover
#

You have to participate to get rewards

languid cove
#

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

abstract gate
#

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.

uneven wave
#

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

languid cove
#

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

uneven wave
#

It's the equivalent of a d3

floral trail
#

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!!

languid cove
#

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

merry fulcrum
#

Yep which is one of the reasons why klingons are a important faction

nova sierra
#

is it true we won't be able to turn in our leftover useless jumk for actually useful stuff at the end of this?

cunning arrow
#

When is the Bonus Refinery coming back? It’s been more than 7 weeks since the last one! 😡

nova valley
#

@nova sierra

nova sierra
#

@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

nova valley
#

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

earnest citrus
#

@nova sierra Anything named points from this event or earlier will not be convertible

nova sierra
#

so... the useless junk I was referring to

nova valley
nova sierra
#

all good.. was just asking

nova valley
#

oh, i didn't understand the phrasing of yoru question. yes, the points are not going to be redeemable

uneven wave
#

@floral trail better payout than what the refinery is giving me. 2 days if just common for all 3 materials

nova sierra
#

now.... if we could just get scopley to drop the whole concept of armadas, I'd be ok with that

Shhh!

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

Get your 500 or 2500 points and then move along. That's the name of the game with this event.

knotty haven
#

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

wanton vector
#

I am so bored of this, don't want to get the points anymore, not worth it

viral sail
#

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.

shrewd totem
#

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😂

gusty glen
#

Was going to say 400k funds but I like your idea better.

unreal osprey
earnest citrus
#

Would be nice. News item says it's not happening though.

unreal osprey
#

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)

subtle crow
#

@unreal osprey i prefer in the other way ^^

unreal osprey
#

@subtle crow I also think the other thing is better, but this sounds more reasonable for scopely and we keep winning a little

inland hamlet
#

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.

unreal osprey
#

It can be, but having it there in the inventory ... it hurts that they do not let it change for points

inland hamlet
#

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?

novel hollow
unreal osprey
#

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.

high cypress
#

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.

twilit dew
#

This event is obviously not meant for most players but only for the highest levels, biggest alliances, and paying players.

Not even those players like it

It is literally ment for no one
