Yes. * time for the rotten tomatoes * Iād like to see a couple more days of domination myself
I keep expecting faction hunt, and then being completely wrong.
@abstract gate I wouldnāt mind a domination ducks and covers
I have a fresh officer badge that needs spending. Lol
you're lucky. All my upgrades require multiple.
<@&509691205798592532>
Why.. oh why.. is this weeks solo lat leaderboard not tiered! It...always has been in the past.. but oh my... it is not.. this week. I am 32..competing against 39s?! Uh.. i can't mine 4*..seriously..what the peanut butter!?š© š¤¦āāļø šæ 
Seriously..2 rare warp cells to big fast lat..wasted... due to this..abnormality..huge mistake.. whatever u want to call it.. also.. weren't we supposed to have our khan shards ect back this week from sunday swarms? That didn't happen either..
@glossy vault Because it's more fun that way. š
M....mmmmeow..not uhš¤£š¹
Right..now way u won't place top 10..right meow I'm 6th..but.. normally would be 1 thru 3..and.. I neeeeed those rewards. Aside from the fact that drops of rare lat cells from antiques are seemingly ab 1 in 10 per refine...
I'm not mining at all so...
Well. Maybe u don't need toš¹
I def do
But I am still in 5th just from stealing lat. š¤£
I'm not disagreeing with you. You are totally correct
The groups for events completely sucks
We have reported that more than once.
Is there any talk of revamping the ship crew setup. Itās such and annoyance cycling through to find the crews that you always used together
Well..I put in a ticket...so.. that was some action on my part...
This Apex Outlaw - Alliance Milestone is kinda out of touch with reality, isn't it? 7500 points to hit the first tier. We have 69 players, that's a max of 6900 on day one and that's only if all of us take part (which we won't, unfortunately). Is the top tier even reachable? I can see this one should be running for three days. Will the points increase to have a decent chance at all?
@atomic echo You will get more points in the upcoming events, ops27+ player who finishes all events will contribute 1000 points, so it is possible to finish it with 30 players. You can find more information in the news post in-game.
Great stuff, thanks!
This doesn't seem fair š
Any reason for the varying output?
Was wondering how most of the alliance were able to get first stage of Apex Gateway Pilots done
I've been way overthinking this, but with a grand total of 85 Rogue Event Trophies (if you complete every daily, and then get the 25 alliance bonus), I can get 5 of the resource packs, and still have enough to buy 2 of the Research Medal packs at ops 28.
that gets me the 30% warp boost, beyond that is massive diminishing returns per Trophy spent.
I'm thinking if i get all events complete i'll be able to get enough research tokens to get the reputation research thing done
@tidal bison the payouts will increase in real time if you upgrade ops, so consider this scopely's way of "pushing you" to upgrade your ops.

Stella avatar is locked to me even though I got the stella several days ago. Is this just a me thing or is there something Iām missing?
Elite battle pass??
No. The description said to obtain it during arc 2 by getting 100 stella bps. Didnāt realize it was an elite thing. š Thanks.
It is one of those things that scopely doesnāt really mention. It is an add really. Do this and you could get this, but donāt really say how.
there is an avatar in the free section, that i think looks better than the stella one.
Well, you do get it from the same Milestone that you get the second set of 50 BP from....just on the bottom side you have to pay for
the rogue silver metal looking one. i love it
that's the best looking avatar in the whole event i think
But really, who doesn't buy the Battle Pass? It's such a great deal
It is a great deal. But Iām essentially f2p. Iāve only ever bought the NS. My max budget to any game is $20 for the life of that game
Well, you spending habits are up to you, but I find in these types of games it's better to give yourself a monthly budget than a lifetime budget
as long as I am having fun with a game, I'll throw them $20-40/month
if you think about it, that's really not that bad if you break it down to entertainment per hour, or the fact that console games can run $60+ and you are done with them in a month or two
@fervent folio or you can enjoy the game as is and think of not spending as the game, because at every turn you are tempted to spend.
I agree, you can do what you want, I'm just saying what I do
but, if you don't spend, then also don't complain that there are rewards you don't get
I enjoy the game as-is, and prefer to let the devs know I do by giving them a bit each month, as long as it stays at a bit and doesn't start costing me more than that and keeps on entertaining me, i have no issues
I mean, I know it's a bad example right now since movie theaters are closed, but think about how much you spend to go to the movies for 2-3 hours of entertainment, then how many hours of entertainment this game gets you
Isn't it worth a little every month?
What's the new events at 5pm please
The dumbest event ever š¤¬
Basically you can just do a level in the first day, don't play in the 2 and easily do the event in the 3 day and get all rewards
Yeah and if all in your alliance donāt do shit, none will get rewards. No free rewards how dumb
If you've got leechers in your alliance it's your problem
Actually that's the problem, it's almost free rewards. You just need to the minimum in the first day, nothing in the 2 and just the 3 day missions and get all the rewards
you get rewards from each daily event too which you wouldn't want to skip if you were a regular player..
The rewards are nothing special
I donāt know, iād call a free officer badge pretty special
If thereās many leeches, tell them to shape up or replace them with contributing members
If all they want to do is sit quietly in their corner and reap rewards they can get their own alliance to try it there
why wouldn't you want all the trophies tho?
lol you can skip day 2 and still hit milestone, sure, but why skip the trophoes? they're INCREDIBLY valuable in the research tree.
i've already mapped out that i can max chop shop in 6 months of these events LMAO
but i won't get those medals by skipping them.
The free badges are awesome š
i've already mapped out that i can max chop shop in 6 months of these events LMAO
@nova valley I think youāre a bit optimistic thinking thereāll be 6 months of these events...
What about Borg officers? Borg armadas?
They fail at implementing continuity since Augment space was introduced
We have Swarm Sunday...why not APEX Saturday?
Youāre being optimistic... thereās barely regularity in most of the content
you're absolutely right @drowsy viper i'm TRYING to find the quote but can't see it. i had HEARD that apex ws gonna be a monthly installment event. BUT i cannot verify that, nor can i find the source of info.
No worries, Iām not saying that with a pinch of salt, but instead, with realism. I had my hopes up with Borg officers, bought some shards hoping Iād be able to buy the rest later on... and nothing for months. At least Stella by itself itās mostly manageable without monthly events, so Iām fine knowing I might not max all apex research
I really wish they had included SOME Mudd shards through more events, and not only packs or elite milestones. I liked you could get Mudd through LB
Whereās Mudd ? Iām doing missions with his ship... and I did the numbers and with the 20⬠I canāt get Mudd
And I canāt know if theyāll add Mudd shards in arc 3... and Iām not paying 100⬠for a bad pack just to have Mudd
now, of course that doesn't say HOW MANY come each month. but ASSUMING the same rate of awards as this one, 6 months LMAO
Scopely fails at straight telling people how they can unlock some content
now, of course that doesn't say HOW MANY come each month. but ASSUMING the same rate of awards as this one, 6 months LMAO
@nova valley itās good. It condenses some of the new mechanics, data mining, exchange hunting and exchange armadas in 3 days with worthily rewards, if itās true thatās recurrent I think will be welcomed
Mudd is missing in Apex recurrent event imo. You should be able to buy some shards with event trophies too, why not.
That would add continuity in this officer and would guarantee continuity in the whole Apex/Outlaw arc. Only Mudd is strangely a left out officer
Letās not repeat Borgās mistakes
i like that idea!
@fervent folio I was not complaining I missed out on a reward, just confused because of the picture Iām about to post. So I was checking to see if I missed out on doing something or it was a paid thing I didnāt notice. And yeah, $20/month is reasonable, I just donāt have money to spend on entertainment atm. At least not until our debt is gone.
Yeah, I saw that, and it's partially true. It comes at the same Milestone as the second set of BP, so if you bought the Elite Battle Pass, that is when you get it
@nova valley I posted it as a suggestion. If they add Mudd in a recurring monthly event or in high reps in rogue store, they would have a whole arc content with guaranteed continuity, making it already better than Borg
doesn't borg have guaranteed continuity? Do you not get Transwarp Cells Daily that can be used to get Nanoprobes Daily that can be "refined" for worthwhile things daily?
Tell me where and how I can get all Borg officers please
I'm not 25 yet so I don't really know
The Officers are not 100% of the Borg Content...and they have started adding other ways to get them. Wasn't one of them recently added to Transport Patterns?
Or ViāDar if Iām a new player. It seems theyāre trying to introduce him in a strange bugged event, so Iām not sure itās actually regularly achievable
@fervent folio theyāre Borg content as they were launched during Borg arc and theyāre BORG officers
Letās not justify their mistakes
yes, but they are not 100% of the content
Tell me how to get uncommon transwarp cells for example, if you tier up your ViāDar higher than tier 3-4
There is continuity to the Borg Arcs, there is still plenty of the content available, just not all of it
Or how to launch a Borg armada
Youāre missing the meaning of ācontinuous contentā
Nanoprobe refining is continuous content...not 100% of the content is continuous, some of it was limited time, but there is in fact continuous content
claiming there is none when there clearly is is just silly, it's just not all the content you wanted
but they have said there will be more Borg Content...so let's see what happens after Outlaws
Launching something, getting players to get it and then stop any way for them to even āfinishā itās a discontinuous content
Nanoprobe refining is continuous content...not 100% of the content is continuous, some of it was limited time, but there is in fact continuous content
@fervent folio no itās not, thereās content that becomes discontinuous without any warning, like uncommon transwarp cells
Thatās literally the definition of discontinuous content. The ONLY thing that has continuity is ViāDar upgrading, granted.
Everything else became discontinuous
Stella and Rogue were launched thinking in long term, and thatās noticeable
so you can't continue to farm and refine nanoprobes?
Yes, I agree, Outlaws is better, but the refinery is absolutely continuous content, they've said the Officers will be available other ways in the future and more Borg Content is coming in the future
I understand you want it right now but they can only do so much
this is a problem in every game I have ever played. Devs can not create content faster than players can consume it
so you can't continue to farm and refine nanoprobes?
@fervent folio get a ViāDar to T3 and once you see thereās several systems you can never enter anymore, EVER, you come back...
I understand you want it right now but they can only do so much
@fervent folio donāt get me wrong, Iām not asking for anything, Iām merely suggesting to anticipate a problem before it becomes near unsolvable
Itās called feedback
then take it to the feedback channel
Did it
and there is also the fact that they have said it's not the end of Borg Content
there is more to come in the future, but we are doing Outlaws right now
There are only 3 systems that are tier locked dealing with the Vi'Dar. Those are the lat systems.
Refining the nanoprobes can give either stuff needed to promote Borg officers improve Vidar or faction rep/credits
There are only 3 systems that are tier locked dealing with the Vi'Dar. Those are the lat systems.
@solid badger yep, incredibly important systems as they introduced the possibility to farm lat outside of mining, and they failed to give a consistent way of access
Refining the nanoprobes can give either stuff needed to promote Borg officers improve Vidar or faction rep/credits
@solid badger yes you have continuity in the material required to promote Borg officers but not in the Borg officer shards.
Look, itās not a rant, it started as a suggestion highlighting that the same mistakes occurred in the past, so now we have the experience to avoid them. If you want to defend those mistakes, go ahead, Iām not entering this type of discussion, but know theyāre unwanted and really mistakes, not features. Thatās why months after, theyāre still searching a reasonable way to implement this content in a continuous way
It was really constructive criticism
Am i reading it correctly that the Stella gives two bonuses for hitting eclipse hostiles, a +170 bonus for the ship and if you hit a eclipse hostile it scores as a hostile two levels higher?
no, but Eclipse hostile give the same points as a hostile 2 levels higher of other types
The borg will be back for sweeps week, they always are
@twilit imp where is our July ISS Jelly event?
In today's Apex Hunter event, Eclipse Hostiles suppose to score 2 levels higher. The math is wrong.
no it's not, look again and compare an Eclpise hostiles points to the points of an Aug Hostile 2 levels higher....the points match up
I record my total points at the Event page. Go kill a L30 Exchange Transport, went back and look at the total points again, it gave me 720 points. I should be getting 1440 points.
look at this:
Does that make it clear? Eclipse Hostiles are worth Points equal to a different Hostile type at 2 levels higher
a 27 Eclipse Hostile gives the same points as a 29 Augment Hostile
A 30 Exchange Transport gave you the same points as a 32 Augment Hostile
I don't see a problem there, it's doing what it said it would do
Well, they didn't word it very good then. The description stated "Eclipse hostiles count as 2 levels higher for scoring purpose". It makes no references to Augment Hostiles.
For scoring purposes, they give points equal to another hostile of 2 levels higher
I agree, the wording is a bit confusing as it can be interpreted in different ways, but they do count as 2 levels higher than other Hostiles
Iāve got a question abort the scoring for the apex outlaw milestones. Do I need to score points in each milestone level, or can I max my points in the first tier and be good for the rest?
As long as you score points before any awards are given you will receive all rewards your Alliance gets
however, to only complete the first day and ignore the rest is a pretty crappy thing to do to your Alliance
Itās not that, Iām almost done with mine for the day and weāre still on the first tier
oh yeah, the points increases substantially today, they wanted to give everyone a chance to score some points before the rest of the Alliance met Milestones
similar to CoW
but I think you still need a good 30+ active to be able to complete all the milestones
if you don't have about 30 people doing their solo's everyday you may not complete all the Alliance Milestones
@novel dragon yeah you need a solid team behind ya. is yoru alliance active?
Not receiving points for roms kills on off and a reset nothing
be sure to really kill roms. Just killing in rom space is not enough, because there are also non rom hostiles in some systems. I made this mistake once, 1h killing the wrong ships
Made the same mistake myself.
It's not that uncommen if you just look for the right level and ship type
@twilit imp reason I didnt get credit for tier up my brel? Is the event broken?
Anyone seen this option appear in the event store?
Does anyone know exactly what Stella efficiency improves...? Shouldnāt it lower uranium costs?
yes @proud pond
but i think like with all ship components it's a rebate program. won't display. so if it says it costs 250 uranium, you must have 250 uranium in your inventory, but you'll be left with 125 after the upgrade.
i don't have it. can someone correct me if i'm wrong?
Ok thanks @nova valley someone in my alliance has it. We will do some testing
I would assume it behaves the same as the other Pureās. Even in the galaxy tree thereās a pure crystal that works the same way
Yes I can confirm it's a "rebate"
The āpureā and rebate researches are BS, itās great donāt have to spend full freight but really annoying I canāt build/research something that doesnāt cost what it says it does. Just front-end the damn thing
Front end is the problem though š they need to get the numbers straight from the server if they can't get their formulas right (which repairs showed that they can't).
Why do all the problems in this game come around to scopley cant count ffs
Incompetence
They can count, they just don't know what formula they're using š
The repair cost formula as an example is straightforward, yet they repeatedly failed to replicate it correctly in the client.. eventually giving up entirely and pulling the number straight from the server š¤·āāļø it shouldn't be that hard to copy a formula..
Ctrl -c then ctrl -f
Happened in Leona event space closed game before I thought to take pics.
Game is super glitchy right now... Totally freezes... Or better yet. Can't click anything but your screen follows other players around while they kill hostiles... That happened to me...
Does anyone remember if the level eligibility for the ISS Jellyfish Pursuit event included level 41 last month? I know it jumped up but I canāt remember
hmm... I see a problem here.
I've completed solo event before we got second milestone but now if my alliance complete 3rd one, I won't receive rewards from it, right?
You should
as long as you scored any points toward the event before the FIRST milestone... you are eligible for any and all milestones the alliance hits after that
if you did not score before the first milestone, but scored before the 2nd one, you would be eligible for all milestones AFTER the second one... and so on
At L40 do the Daily Reward Packs supply 4* 3* and 2* mats or do 2* fall off?
er sorry should have asked in galaxy chat
Good morning everyone
Just wondering if anyone knows if when the next ISS JELLY event is
Thanks
my assumption is that it will be between the arcs of the battlepasses
Anyone know what the events might be after today's reset? Another Apex/Faction Hunt?
Just built a Vahk and am wondering if I should hold off on auto-aggro to lvl up, until after the reset.
they usually come in pairs, so yes, today will likely be a repeat of yesterday
Thanks, that's what I figured. I'll wait until noon then.
And outlaw amardas it's in the notes
One question: what are the requirements for the current events? Especially for the milestones. Is this based on the number of Ally members or how big is the maximum space of the Ally?
It should be the same for each alliance
Even at the milestones? This cannot or should not actually be identical.
they are all identical
Why not? Scopely has long been pushing for us to get bigger stronger alliances with all the COW events
either spend and carry your alliance or join an event focused alliance
scopely prefers you to spend though
Yick. These events are like herding cats - need a way to divide an alliance into groups, and do group-only armada invites..
The refresh rate on these armadas needs looking at... š£ exchange alpha, completely empty
instant is too slow @cursive sonnet ? refresh your game
refresh or restart... they are there you just cant see em š¤£
if it aint lagging... we aint playin
What up
They were instant the first couple of times, now thereās a long delay, complete restart and nothing
kill all those blue ships... they are slowing the computer down š¤£
is the weekend Armada event also the new exchange bank armadas as today or is it regular armadas?
No show armadas on our server too, game update did nothing
Restarting didn't help - they are still not there
Really so where are you meant to have got more rare directives from? Their hasnāt been any other event except the burst events. Unless you need really high rep to get the rare directives.
The uc in alpha, beta, gama and delta donāt spawn unless you take the rares out???
Also the score for the 31ās this time around have dropped from 1000 to 800 points, buts again these wonāt spawn unless you take the rares out
Stuart I got 600 rares from a single burst event. Was really tough but I managed to get just that one event done.
otherwise yeah it's only buying a pack which is lame
Also the score for the 31ās this time around have dropped from 1000 to 800 points, buts again these wonāt spawn unless you take the rares out
@inner cave this is the first time we have done Apex Armadas... save that complaint for if the score is changed for the next Rogue Outlaw Armada Event
In the last armada event @granite zenith we got 1000 points so really the points should be the same this event.
Yes itās a different event with less point to reach the top
TF is this? Server choked at the conflict and neither armada went off.
the last armada was NOT part of the APEX 3 day event... it could be designed with different scoring patterns... the hostiles were score different as well during the apex event
Yes 31s give less points so what? My milestones are also lower
It used to be 10k in armadas event,now it is 8k
(I am lvl36)
So where did you get more rare directives from (outside the apex research event and spending money)? @shrewd totem
and it may go back to higher points and higher milestones in the Armada event... this ISNT the armada event...
Why do I need to get rare directives?
i got rare directives from the hostile frind leaderboard...
You need to kill the rare armadas to get the uc ones to spawn @shrewd totem
They follow a cycle
Only in the central areas
I finished this one and earlier armada event just buy spending unc directives. It wasn't that hard
Thereās a total of 1uc armadas amongst all the systems. Everyone is either fighting over it or standing in line waiting
You think they would have fixed this before running the event again
Others in my alliance has rares so was a bit easier to do.
Iām just asking if their will be a way in the future to get the rares (like higher rep) or will their be future events.
@carmine lily it is to encourage more pvp
and over 2000 rare directives were given out in each grouping of that last hostile leaderboard... so someone has the directives on each server, for free, to flip some of those rares
Fuk pvp, you want pvp put rewards for it in the actual event otherwise itās not worthwhile. Pvp over one armada just means the whales will always win and nobody gets to play. No fun and everyone gives up or quits, scopelys participation metrics drop, no one buys directives, everyone loses
Others in my alliance has rares so was a bit easier to do.
Iām just asking if their will be a way in the future to get the rares (like higher rep) or will their be future events.
@inner cave yes Scoundrel rep
@granite zenith only the whales got those directives and they only used them on the largest armadas, no guarantee they flip and they often donāt.
Still at trouble maker atm
i beg to differ that only the whales got those directives... I as a lvl 33 grinded 800 myself in that event... Beating 2 people who had bigger ships...
its not always the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog @carmine lily
@granite zenith it was probably much easier on your server. Good for you, enjoy them.
ha... easier... 6BILLION points... beating 2 level 34s with Epic ships, while i did it with a 1.2m Glad and a 1m Cent...
i appreciate that i earned em... and im guessing that 3 lvl 33-34 players on your server did as well
bounty hunter... hostile chaser that spawns in augment space if your rep is pawn or higher
Copy ok that makes sense
š
I kinda feel silly now, I appreciate the clearification
6 billion points was roughly rank 70 and below.
3 event store badge chests - 3 command badges. Do the odds change for different badge or have I just been unlucky?
wait - you want something OTHER than command? š®
I don't know, is that good then? Was assuming science for Spock would be nice
Youāve just been lucky. Everyone else is getting nothing but engineering
OK, that makes me feel better, thx guysš
How many apex medals are needed for research?
Brilliant
Edit - both teams fought the target and both got rewards
@weak copper i can see the first, but no further as they have pre requisites of doing other research
Apex Chop Shop is 125, Rogue Notoriety is 1000
Are those the only ones?
Do we know whats in the Warp Cell zones yet? Just unlocked Scoundrel and got my first warp Ttoken
well all right
sounds like a good way to stock up on some 3*
without fear of opc hunters
yeah..
i have a feeling we will be seeing epics come arc 3
Confirmed 3* Gas in Mitchum
Van Cleef must be Crystal
max tier horizon with crystal miner, i got unlocky in my choice, was hping to find the crystal zone first lol
that is some insane mining rates on 3*
@cunning knot Thank you for the video. Hashed out the other zones. And man that is some great mining rates.
anyone experiencing lag issues redeeming Eclipse Heist Tokens for badges?
I turned in 100 after completing armadas today, it deducted the tokens, but no screen popped up with the badge. i hit the back button, and still no badge....
that was over an hour ago...
restarted the game multiple times since then too
Usually I vent frustrations but an event which has given us six officer badges has been marvellous. And if APEX is happening each month with badges, then oh yes please!
3 in the f2p final milestone (1 of each) and a potential 3 random badges in the event store from tokens earned in the outlaw side events...feedback for our scopely overlords: random badges suck balls
ah....3 extra random. gotcha
I got 2 command and an engineering so not too bad...sucks to be the guy who gets 3 engineering though (don't worry he'll be along shortly for a rant)
I got 2 engineering so far so I'm close to being That Guy but I don't mind random badges so much as long as Scopely keeps providing ways to get more
It's an improvement sure, but then again getting pissed on is an improvement if you're currently on fire...
Yeah but badges literally exist to gate progress and force tough choices. If Scopely were to get rid of badges fantastic, but that's realistically not happening. So if it's a choice between being able to pick which badges I get and getting random ones more frequently I'd take the latter
Epics will probably be the casino one in the rom system
ok, so i finally got my random badge...2 hours later
engineering badge, oh well
was hoping for science š
Outlaw event becomes much less fun when you get a bully whale who chases damage metric just hitting any ships in their black jelly when they are still gathering before starting an armada.
sounds like the typical way they like
I got 3 engineering badges. So I am that guy. Insert griping and complaining over free stuff here.
I've got engineering officers that I could spend badges on š¤
So what is with the reward not going to people who had over 70 research. I had 75 done and I got nothing. Support says I donāt qualify anyone else getting screwed?
I just realized Stella reminds me of those clown cars at the circus .
If you have no time to do armada, you can buy outlaw pack and can clear event.
Is this a specification?
@twilit imp Is this a specification?
This event is a circus. My alliance just hit same 31 rare 5x in a row to do 0 damage.
Way overpowered much...
Debating buying elite battle pass track. What are the rewards like for the extra missions?
@placid moss not bad rewards from the missions
Got some uncommon materials, a little Latinum, and some speedups if I remember correctly
But the battle pass itself gives a great amount of uncommon materials for $20
That being said, it's about a weeks worth maybe, so that's up to you if it's worth $20 for what you get for free in a week or not
Yeah, that's what I'm back and forth on.
The rss especially the tokens is the main selling point of the elite battle pass tbh, 20⬠for all that plus the uc's and rares is the best vfm you can get in the store. Whether that vfm is adequate for you only you can decide
The missions are underwhelming at ops39 tbh, there's a donate mission in the first one but you can choose to take a different path, haven't done the second mission chain yet but the first set of rewa4ds are...meagre
Literally the second mission in second chain is a donate 750k trit pos for 17 of each ucg3
For added irony the mission is called Fair Trade š
[Beta Paldorios-System S:1543362389] Does anyone know already what can be found here?
750k for 19 uc each....way worse trades. I'd love to do that a few hundred times
Still annoying in paid for content to be robbed of rss, at least the first donate mission was optional
At 39 with billions in tokens it's a trivial amount, for lower lvl's still working on their sallys etc it's a significant amount of rss to be forced to sacrifice with no other option
Just archive them till your rolling in it, missions are optional
Sweet! Dom today! Just got enough shards to promote Carol yesterday. I have other officers i save for Dom Events as well, but I never use them. Carol is almost always below decks somewhere.
I built up an envoy and scrapped it for my domination
Feedback on the Apex event that just ended:
- The event was interesting and the level of difficulty was appropriate (at least for our alliance)
- However, the lack of tools for alliance leaders made day 3 of this event a really poor experience (days 1 and 2 were OK). Not having any visibility on which members were online, who completed it and who didn't made it an exercise in pinging 70 people and asking "hey have you done the event yet?" and following up and not knowing if the person was online or not, etc.
To some degree, CoW already had some of that, but CoW was made up of solo events, so less coordination was required. For this one, we had people (especially leaders and big spenders) not doing armadas because they were saving directives to help those who hadn't completed if/when we could find out who was missing.
agreed, we need to be able to see Alliance Contributions on AMS Events, not just ALB
Why is my Stella doing worse than my first when it is at same level of upgrade?
1st Stella took 3x as much damage in one run. Same level act after rebuilt and upgrade and now it does 1/3 of what it did?
Think this chop shop is scamming peopleš¤£
Has all the same components, same tier, same level, same officers?
And it doesn't automatically get stronger with upgrade (though shouldn't get weaker unless it's not as high level, tier, or officers changed) - it's that scrapping it gives Stella particles which allows you to complete research that makes it stronger. More of an indirect upgrade with each scrap
Do we know if thereās an event store at the end of this arc? i.e. is there much point in this domination event for the points if youāve already completed the battle pass milestones.
They did say there will be an event store but I doubt it will use the BP points
Those are just points trackers - you've already essentially "gotten" the rewards from them through the Battle Pass so there wouldn't be a reason to give extra for them
I don't think they even go to your inventory anymore, they're just there to track. If you don't want the other rewards from Dom event and have finished milestones then you don't need to do it for points
Does Anyone have a SS of COW alliance store rewards? thanks in advance, and after probably too!
@woven belfry ok thanks. Didnāt the brog points acclimated throughout the arc in last borg arc get used for event store though?
Anyone know how many apex medal things are required? Is it worth trading all the event trophies for the apex medals on the basis you canāt get them anywhere else and I can get uncommons from the refinary?
no, it was something everyone constantly asked for even though it made no sense because you alrady got rewarded for those points
there was an event store after arc 4, but i am not sure what currency was used as I was on my break at that point
missed all of Arc 4 and the bit after it
@full cedar no those were the Epic Reward Tokens that were explicitly for rewards at the end, not already used for tracking BP progress
Will the rogue event trophies get deleted it they are not spent? Reason I ask is I get 43 apex shards for 5 tokens but when ops is higher I will get a lot more and I'm not going to be doing any apex research soon.
Plus some new currencies introduced at the end. But not the Borg Points.
Is alliance jumping considered cheating when getting help finish scrapping stella in event?
As ppl jump alliances and gets their scrapping finished quicker then the ones stayin in their alliance.
no, not cheating, and if they did it during APEX Alliance Events they missed out on the rewards from that
Well they started doin it today and ive seen ppl raise 50k+ points within a hour
Funny is... 20ppl from same alliance doin it and they kill stella event on all tiers as u cant compete with them unless jumping alliances.
Easy fix that is set up timer on player not able join any alliance within x hours.
As for now you cant rejoin alliance for 8h but may join other alliances.....
Yea, they can't rejoin for 8 hours. So don't really see how that will benefit them much.
Ahh nm. Guessing they are forming new alliances and jumping to several.
or like on my server, there are groups of Alliances, they jump from one to the other, pass leadership and just keep jumping until they've been in all the Alliances in the goup
In some cases, yes, creating additional Alliances just to jump into and out of
I still don't believe it's cheating, more "clever use of game mechanics" but definitely something Scopely should look at and find a way to prevent
Has anyone received the full MS5 with frame and commiserate rewards for starting the research early? I got ms4 and CA told me I got what I should have received.
Finished 73 before event end
Roger thanks š
Keep talking with CS and demand from them to list research you did after maintenance and before event ended
Then check which ones they didnt count
@novel hollow I got the frame
Speaking of badges. They showed up again in the faction stores. I found them today.
š
I want more badges š¢ I've too few and too many choices, frozen in indecision š¬
Lol me too Iāve barely spent the ones I have Spock yes... who else ahhhhh
But.. what if I get an enterprise? Then I don't need Spock even! š
Well get out your Cowbells.
<@&509691205798592532> Can you share the calculation for scrapping please? I though it was as follows:
Base Speed/(1+scrapyard bonus+chop shop bonus) is this correct?
There is also alliance helps
I would calculate it like this:
Base time-(Base scrap timeĆ1%ĆX)=Y
X is number of helps you can get and each help is 1% reduction then
Y/(1+scrapyard bonus+research bonus)
So not My calculation x (1-no. of helps x 0.01)?
I figured out the scrapyard but when I apply the helps it doesnāt tally up.
You canāt calculate helps before the scrapyard and chop shop bonus can you? It comes off after they have been applied???
@jaunty sonnet @median slate I'm pretty sure helps come off of remaining time, so they're diminishing effect and depend on when they actually push the button š¬
@shrewd totem I checked out your calculation and itās actually the same as the one I already do and yet it is wrong. My lvl5 Stella should only take 11hr 15mins after helps as I have scrapyard 36 (78%) and chop shop 4 (0.14%) and 17% for helps. It ends up being 11hrs 25mins though.
@robust vapor that might be the case - Iāll check. I have two screenshots that I can check it with
Probably be more like (0.99^n) X remaining time, if they did it all straight away? š¤ I think
What's the base time?
Nope diminishing returns with all 17 helps happening at the 12th minute of scrapping (the worst it could be) would still mean a total scrap time of only 11hr 17mins
Hmm
Weirdly it works if you donāt include the 3% for fourth level chop shop.
Either way something appears to not be working here
I get 11 hours and 25 minutes?
Yes if you donāt include the 3% for fourth level of chop shop
78% and 14% you said?
I got it with those bonuses..
My scrapping is ACTUALLY taking 11 hrs and 25 mins
He said the answer is 11 hours and 25 minutes, which is what I get.
Not through working out
@robust vapor no the screenshot is what I get with 89% not 92%
This is with 92%
I don't care about your screenshot though š using 78% and 14% I get what the game says.
First SS is with base scrapping less bonuses but no helps
Second is after all 17 helps which is 12 minutes later and therefore total time is 11hr 25 mins
@robust vapor not using that scrapping time calculation it isnāt
1562 minutes / 1.92 = 813.5416 (13:33)
X (0.99^17) = 685. 7693 (11:25).
I also don't care what formula the mods give you š
So: (base / (1 + bonus)) X (0.99^helps) š¤·āāļø
It is, but 1% on current time
Another Scopely math screw you type thing.
Always get helps before speedups, there's a reason for that š
No that isnāt how you work that out mate. Using the helps as a āto the powerā reduces the second and every subsequent help to less than 1% in an ever increasing amount
Yes, because it's looking at remaining time.
Mate it really isnāt.
99% of 100, then 99% of that, and 99% of that..
If I did it as 1% I'd need to write the formula more complicated, 99% of the answer is easier than answer - 1% of answer, for same result. And by using 99% I can also take it to the power easily.
No no I get it totally now
Awesome š
Catch is still that the later they do the helps the less benefit you get, but should be ok..
That I disagree with but without testing I cannot confirm it
It's easy to test. Go break a ship with a long repair time, then speedup most if the repair and see how much benefit you get from the helps š¤·āāļø
But I've looked at it with ops upgrades before (Alliance hopping for more speedups), so it should be right.
Your calculation takes into consideration the fact that the second help is 1% of the time remaining after the first help is done but not any duration of time between them
Yeah, you can't factor that in so easily, that's what my comment was about. You'd need to have a separate part for every help and know the times applied to get that answer. For an active Alliance it'll be close enough though.
There is nothing in your calculation that states time lapse in the remaining time. So itās a calculation that only holds true for helps all arriving right at the start.
Though tbh that isnāt a problem for me as we have 72 people in our alliance and most are active
Thank you for helping me out with this bud, very helpful.
I can write it up to take time lapse into account if you really want š but I was happy to just put the disclaimer that it doesn't take that into consideration.
Iām a geek but Iām not that much of a geek that Iām into nerd country so Iām all good mate
šš
Any chance to flex on the mods herešŖ
š Have fun š
Thanks mate - I am at the moment
Yep it's 1% of current time remaining - easy to see if you do a 9 hour ship repair, rush 8 hours of it and see how much each help takes off the remaining
We are nearing the end of this arc. Is this gonna happen @gaunt yacht
@severe bridge It's there, under Recruit Tab, "Augment Ultra Chest"
Read it all the way @modest oyster. It says there will be an exchange in the event store.
Exchange zeta tokens for independent credits
Hi all whereās the event USS Jellyfish ?
Limit x1
I read it. Unless it shows up during the final armada cycle like most things it's probably just wrong information.
I think it's unlikely since people have been exchanging Zeta's for the Officer Recruit (only redemption) and if they added it last minute people would flip.
anyone knows when the Uss Jellyfish dabitude event is scheduled to be around the 15th of the month !!!
There is no schedule of events so no one will know that.
ISS Jelly event is overdue, unfortunately as mentioned no one knows when...
has there been any additional information on getting the borg officers? Guessing no, but maybe worth asking.
not that I have heard
you can get useless 6of10 with transport patterns
but 5of10 is still probably only going to be a leaderboard option, scopely makes too much money off those to add them to recruit pool
Will trophies be used for anything in arc 3 or is this a spend them now thing?
Apex events are supposed to be monthly, and to max the apex research it will take several rounds of the event. So it is up to you but there will almost certainly be a chance to turn them in later.
Thanks. I turned mine in now... figure I have enough half turned in rewards I might as well redeem and see what happens... your logic is sound @waxen sedge just been burned too many times by scopely logic
The amount of items in there are pretty good too in my opinion. Since I am lvl 35 I could do the apex rogue notoriety research so I got the tokens to do that, but in the future it will be a tough call between the research tokens or those mats/rss.
If you are a low level then save them for later when you get more per token
Can someone tell me when the USS Jellyfish event is scheduled?
No one knows
I mean Nowon knows*
Iām 31 so could only do the chop shop. Saving some other items for when Iām higher though
Scopely knows
doesn't mean they will tell us
remember its scopely
however this arc has been shock twist to most giving us the bare minimum info but with a date thats somewhat accurate
big stride from 5 minutes
Can someone tell me when the USS Jellyfish event is scheduled?
@ionic solstice Never, because there is no USS Jellyfish.
There is a Jellyfish and an ISS Jellyfish though
I want a USS Jellyfish now!
I want a Hijacked ISS USS Jellyfish
it will look so pimping with its silver black and gold
Like a normal one, just with addition of a š© tonne of super rare unobtainable plutonium.
4G epic plutonium
Yay another server wide LB. FYI the guy in 1st is lvl 50 and Iām only lvl 29. Nice way to control rss and material flow in game.
to no ones suprise 
DOH thanks for saying that .... guess i'll save up my buildings for something else...
your 50's being nicer than the my 48 he's already got 1.4 mill in points lol
<@&509691205798592532> is it okay to jump between alliances to get additional helps on scrapping, etc.?
Shhh
Fck no
Worth losing the alb rewards?
Hopping alliances is not against ToS
Iām top of my leaderboard and will lose it to some dckhead who didnāt spend the time working out the best way to win only to lose it to him
Hal 30k Rep for outlaw is definitely worth it
Is it against tos please <@&509691205798592532>
I think it would be considered āglitchingā
I would say it would be "WOrking as intended" with in Game specs
I do not think it is cheating/glitching...if Scopely did not want you to do it, helps would not reset when you left Alliance, "clever use of game mechanics"
to coin an old WoW phrase
but, if you want an official answer, send in a ticket
Oh as for the event the 50 ONLY upgraded one turret for the Domination event
If this is cheating/glitching, I got about 6 near full Alliances of people to report on my server doing this, lol
and that's just one group of Alliance, pretty sure there are 2-3 other groups of Alliances doing the same thing
Yes if they want to do this to increase their level then whatever but this will give an advantage for the scrapping event too
Me and my alliance mate are both ahead and spent time figuring out the event only to lose it to them doing this? Donāt think so.
Just need to know itās fine to do
yes its fine
there is an 8 hour cool down to get back into any alliance you were in so they still have to find alliances to let them in temp
before that cooldown there was hell about this topic
yeah, that's why on my server there are groups of 5-6 Alliances. They all just bounce around when they want to.
we have one group we refer to as the BOTs, KBOT, LBOT, FBOT, RBOT...
BOT stands for Bunch of Theives....they are heavy raiders
Is the crucible of war alliance event starting in 3 days or was that showing in the alliance store earlier today a mistake??
If no COW Monday they are such teases
Ship component research doesn't reduce cost in any way... At least scopely is consistent
@tropic imp this works on the server not on the client. You have to have the required amount of components and you will get a rebate once you have made the upgrade.
They fixed that with the pure gas/crystal research in outlaw tree so it doesn't make any sense that the same wouldn't apply for component research
Not all researches are fixed as far, as I know.
ship research decreases are the ones that are "rebates" building and research reducers are immediate
yeah, anything that applies to ship components is a rebate
It just occurred to me also that if this alliance hopping was to be allowed by Scopely that Players could be scrapping for G3 materials from envoys every day. Just leave their ships in suliban space to get the bps and then jump alliances for the scrapping speed ups so no need to ever buy packs again as theyāll have a steady stream of g3 for free. Iām not going to do this but that is the precedent set by allowing this to happen...
<@&509691205798592532>
We don't know anything conclusive on the subject as to whether it is or isn't allowed.
Shame - Iāve got a lot of envoy bps still to be used. Could upgrade a gun on my D4 tomorrow if it was.
Hello who or where do I post question s about outlaw event.
here is not a bad place, as it's related to all events, though #731435018001317888 would work too
The calendar states on this date pve sms slb. But thatās not what I got past two days. I only got domination.
what level are you?
27
and technically, Dom is PvE and a Solo Milestone with a Solo Leaderboard
so how is the calendar wrong?
How is it pve. It was only building and xp spending
I call pve. Hostel hunting faction
PvE is a broad category that pretty much anything not PvP can fall under
Clear the coast is the pve event@fathom bolt
That calendar is the outlaw events, not the battlepass events. Clear the coast is pve.
The outlaw points milestones are not what is represented in the calendar. What is represented is outlaw specific events. Apex, clear the coast, the armadas thatll be the next 2 days
Two days. Straight of this is bs
Domination is definitely not pve either by any reasonable stretch of the definition.
Bottom line Iām 5k away. From lev 10 in battle pass. So I donāt have the sally. After 2 days spending building researching Iāve got nothing left to complete this event
Sorry to hear that, but you still have two more days of events to go.
And FYI clear the cost is not a battle pass points pve
If you can handle swarm you should be fine as Sundays swarm will probably be the battlepass event.
As far as I can recall, none of the events on that calendar were the events that awarded battle pass points. I suppose I'll grant you it was a bit misleading to label it battle pass season.
Maybe but. Thatās not my gripe when u post a calendar that says 23/24 pve ect ect do it or else shove the calendar
Again, the clear the coast event is what that referred to and it did run/is running and is a pve event. Its just not the event that rewards the battle pass points. Earlier in the week we had faction hunt for battle pass points, which is pve, but the calendar notes the apex event as the calendar specifically is listing the outlaw events.
Calendar is for NEW OUTLAW events not for battlepass points
It would be nice to also get a calendar of the battle pass events I suppose, but that's not what they did.
And it is 100% accurate so far
ah, that makes sense
honestly I did not pay too much attention to the calendar, I just do whatever events are in front of me every day. I see how it would have been helpful for people to plan to save Armada Directives though. I'm not of a level to do them though, so did not affect me
Then it should read outlaws 2 not titled BP at all
Cant you see HUGE Outlaws 2 at the bottom?
Listen you know what Iām getting at there are events that offer no battle pass points. To complete battle pass So. Y are they still considered as such
I get the gripe, the heading of the calendar is a bit misleading. But we are basically at the end of it and none of the events on it have been the ones that award battle pass points so this should not have been a big surprise.
Also scopely never releases calendars of daily events, whether a battlepass is running or not, and having the ability to complete a domination milestone event at any time is something you should plan for.
Just an FYI for the future, I understand it stinks.
Thank you guys.
Hopefully the weekend events are easy for you to complete and get the last 5k points.
You can grind seps for officer XP.
Does anyone remember if COW has a tier up ship criteria? Seems itās not the ALM but maybe the ALB and solo.
I just wish they had scaled the event for new servers. I made the mistake of rushing to get as high as possible to do event stuff, and now I need millions of parsteel to do anything and no one to raid for it LOL
I saw a CoW in the alliance store today unlocking in 3 days.. might be what happens after this Arc ends. was not in there for long, but it was there.
I have asked if the crucible of war is starting in 3 days or if it showing in the alliance store was a mistake and got no reply at all from scopely
Business as usual.
Guys... wasnt there some event items we could redeem in the alliance store? They disappeared for me. Same for everyone else?
They did!!! Did they seriously remove items from the store before the arc finished??? š¤£š
I saved those trophies for later because I wasn't sure on what to get... didn't expect them to remove those items so soon! They normally leave them on for ages. I hope it's a mistake or there will be a lot of people pissed off today...
They had a removal timer on them. The were gone 1 day after the event finished. The apex event will be an ongoing monthly thing though so itāll be back
Meh š never happened to me before in all fairness. Yes there was a timer, yes I didn't pay too much attention to it but typically in the past they left stores on for AGES... especially when the themed arc isn't finished yet
I wonder if I'll get to use those trophies at some point or not.
You will - itās a monthly recurring event now apparently
Thats what they said about borg
Also said borg officers would be in recruit tab too

Hello is anyone on
We do have 6 in the recruit tab now...
I was wondering if there will be a jellyfish event(to get the jelly) again and if so will it be soon
If a player leaves or is booted from their Alliance during an Alliance Event but returns to the Alliance before the Event is over, will they receive credit for the Event?
No they won't
Thanks .
And the reduced the points on the armadas for this event
This is getting worse.
Thereās a $50 jelly pack. š
So much more margin than just making the event use the Turas... šµ
Epic Eclipse Armadas... where are they?
<@&509691205798592532> any help with locating the Epic Eclipse Armadas, please?
Epic eclipse armadas are not in yet
The armada where 3 of us started at the same time above, we all got the points for it. š
Here... When you unlock it I think. š
<@&509691205798592532> Some Eclipsle rares are not counting in the events. Iām 4K short on solo leaderboard and 1170(ish) on alliance board from a missing 37.
Another alliance member also reporting several not counting. Resets/localizations done. Server 193
Send a message to support in game. We can't do anything about it.
also, as with almost every time we do some of these events... there is a noticeable lag, both in respawns, and points registering... it may simply be that as well
If itās an across the board issue you can bring it up to Panic to pass along
I donāt really care about the points, completed solo anyhow, just making note of it in case itās more than an isolated occurrence. In game support is a joke
while we may all feel that sometimes their actual support is lacking, they ARE the only ones that can make the required adjustment account wise
Server27 muddmadas are super slow to re-spawn.
@silent timber see my post 2 above yours...
while support can be slow and may give unsatisfactory answers, it's the only official avenue and tickets there are logged and those metrics looked at. Just posting it here does next to nothing, but every ticket about the same issue stacks up and more tickets for the same issue mean something is more likely to get looked at
Itās frustrating for sure!
Outlaw armadas......worst event yet.
I am sure the thinking could be that they are hoping these armada glitches will promote some kind of pvp action of attack and defense however as all servers are community driven most have rules regarding this so we are at an impasse.
So it seems the jelly package is back in the shop at least for my level (30). Was there an announcement?
Is it on purpose that the amount of heist tokens is reduced today?
I think this is the same heist token payout from the last armada event. But yes it is lower than the eclipse hostile event.
It's the same @unreal fox rememer, this is a two day event. so the idea was 50 per day, to get 100 to get yourself a badge at the end of this 2 day cycle.
tha'ts how it worked 2 weeks ago
How do you unlock that system? Through research? Or is it part 3?
Think itās through rep, then you unlock warp token
Oh ok
Warp tokens in the rogue faction store aren't for the system in stuntjohns screenshot, unless there's a second one at some point
Not sure its related to outlaws at all being in rom space, might be though since it seemed to be added with the newest patch
Nobody knows, people have not been there yet. Scopely doesnāt give details
Oh yes, thanks@nova valley and @severe bridge , i forgot...
Does a level 23 player get the rare directives from COW event? i know upto lvl 21 cannot
Is there any word on Epic eclipse armadas??
Guessing that will be in Arc 3
@peak cave
Your armadaās lag is blowing goats, once again #screwbly
Scopely austerity rewards events today. Lol.
Does anybody know about the Spock and stonn shard event at level 16. An older player told me that it was something that opened up at level 16.@twilit imp
any SS of the locked systems?
Question about epic armadas... are there any and if yes where
6 weeks since last monthly ISS Jelly event. Any word on when to expect the next? Horrible artificial break on progress doing it with an event like this, let alone then not running it at least monthly.
@solemn trellis Not yet on epics. Probably Arc 3.
prime Stella eficiency realy 100% it's make Stella don't need uranium at all?
or again is a wrong description
?
@agile flame efficiency formula is: base / (1 + bonuses)
been wanting to say this for a a few days now. SCOPLEY...HOW FREAKING DARE YOU?????!!!!??? You are creating events that actually create splits inside alliances from players who can do certain events, and those who cannot. At first, i thought my teammates were causing this rift. I have had time to ponder it and have come to this inescapable conclusion, that it is SCOPLEY who is responsible. By blanking some players from getting rewards for participating-even though they have strong enough ships to do so- You are cheating the Alliance as a whole by denying the Alliance the use of some of its members. You setup the event for an Alliance total points earned and then deny that alliance to compete equally. I do get it, Life isn't fair. But, when you purposely RIG the event to favor a few alliances over the rest, "fair" isn't even part of the equation. So I ask again SCOPLEY????...HOW FREAKING DARE YOU?????
š¤£
@robust vapor so the description of 100% was supose to be 50%
@agile flame no, it's a 100 bonus to efficiency. You're already running at 100% efficiency, now you're running at 200% efficiency š¤
It's confusing though, yes..
Well, that's the answer. No one likes it though, so you're in good company š
Loosing 100s of armadatoken, because scopely is not able to prevent from multiple starts of armadas, ridiculous.
Did somebody already found the Epic Eclipse Armada code in the scopely office?
Jelly busting crews....show us what you got! Go!
Last day points suck. For the last 3 days the points have been pants, on the last step of the battle pass but impossible to complete it.
Not enough points unless you own a Franklin and a jellyfish
Thereās been more than enough points to have completed it at least a few days ago. If you dont do the events, cant complain if you dont get the points
Loosing 100s of armadatoken, because scopely is not able to prevent from multiple starts of armadas, ridiculous.
@flat kayak I get this . .š¤·āāļø
@halcyon patio i get this screen in maybe 10% of the armadas
Still if 2 players click at the exact same time ( few millisec. difference ), you won't get this warning
Anybody know if we get one more outlaw points try.? Finished today's and only need 1000 more to complete.
I have finished all the points lately, and I am short by a little.
Last day
20 bucks and itās all yours @remote nymph
I dont have that
i want to know when the next BORG events will happen, as they are part of the star trek story line
I wish I had know I was short. I would not have bought the underpowered jelly. Oh well
funny the jelly is so weak now and cost so much more, back when I got it was 20$
So I am officially over not being able to obtain or level officers that Scopely put in the game. Canāt even try and level or obtain with money. So why did they put them in the game?
Itās not that hard to put them in the officers packs! Just shear laziness on Scopelys end or incompetence either one. But hey avatars!
Which ones are you talking about?
Really?
There are definitely a few that are hard to get, but most of the ones people use are accessible
Borg, Zhou, Harrison , jaylah. Mudd. The others that are dark
Exclusive content
Harrison and jaylah are basically out of the game. Zhou is only in COW, Mudd is brand new
Every game has it
The borg is annoying, but they arenāt very good anyway. And the borg are coming back so I wouldnāt worry about it
Some I have others no. But. being able to level. Just take them out of the game or give access
@languid cove disagree on the Borg.
Hard to get character shards is like the 200th ranked problem with this game
Letās get targeting back to where it was, then we are start dealing with anything else
But those officers are huge in pvp.
Then you should have gotten them when they were available
Which is why are exclusive content, they were far more available in the past. Rewarding players for being around a long time is what games do
@shrewd totem you are right need to up my $100 a week to a $1000.
I donāt even have Harrison, I didnāt see it as a priority, imagine how I feel now
Harrison doesnāt matter at higher levels
Only useful officer I dont have is Harisson
And that is because I was too low level during that time
He is still op
Maxed Kahn base stats are op, if that translated to Harrison would be worth it
Harisson doesn't need stats,its his ability that matters
For 1 round. Which means nothing outside of 4 rounds. Heās a negative at that point.
You aware that most base battles are 1-2 rounds and in PvE you can kill almost every hostile in 1 round with Harisson on Sally?
At what level? Are we talking apples and oranges here?
Because at level 39-40 Harrison ability for 1 round does not out way 1000ās of base attack defend shield. On any other officers
2 days of swarm events and no Khan, this is such a cheat. They tried to remove Khan for 1 Ultra pull and people complained, so now they just say during a battlepass no Khan. And if the BP keep coming that means most of the time you won't get Khan
Regular Kahn shards will be back, think it was setup for ark before they said they were moving away from ultra recruit.
but then another arc will start in 2 weeks
so maybe 1 or 2 weeks of Khan max
bet this will be done during all arc's as they wanted to remove Khan
No the whales wanted them to move away from the Kahn shards.
Because they all maxed Kahn because his maxed stats are almost double every other officer. That and they donāt want transport patterns for the other officers they have maxed they want ultra recruit shards for the new officers.
@crisp abyss thatās why
@shrewd totem please give me a reason why that statement is wrong.
But there are a lot of us who don't even have him nevermind maxed him
and then also transporter shards are useful for a lot of people working on those officers
could offer a choice like in a mission
or a token
so can get either Ultra tokens or the normal Khan shards
for people who are still working on him
You are not thinking like a whale that has his officers maxed, has a discord channel with other whales and a Scopely rep that listens to all there concerns.
It's a nice way to disgruntle a lot of players
That's why there was so much push back to them removing Khan
and the fact it's only 1 Ultra pull
they could even add Khan to the Ultra officers in that case
Kind of why Batman stopped chiming in.
I know I get it you guys probably hear people complaining a lot
just saying it's made swarm Sunday's a lot less relevant now
lets see if he comes back next week after this arc finishes
I donāt have Kahn maxed and am not a whale but I guess a dolphin
I've only been working on him for awhile I'm about 15 short of unlocking him
was making good progress then they removed him
so kind of makes it hard now
and I never get him from the aug store officer chest
I was delaying going to lvl 32 as swarms get a lot harder so I could keep doing swarm Sunday's, but not much point now
You need, pike
Pike, Moreau, tlann for swarms will change your game 1000%
Pike, Moreau, Chen for hostiles will change your faction outlook 10000%
Those combinations are the key to progressing in this game
depends what you are fighting
if traders and explorers yes
battleships chen with tlaan and moreau is more effective
@dapper drum false, that crew setup tlann for swarms and Borg. Chen for your faction hostiles survey through the triangle use Chen.
has anyone tested out the fix they did with pike and moreau synergy while using a 3rd shakedown
not false
Yes
even borg using pike with moreau and tlaan kills 10% less
It is false
than chen with tlaan and moreau
if you are getting more with pike then you are fighting to weak of a battleship
@dapper drum Chen was good for lower level Borg. Tlann takes over because of the firing pattern in the higher levels. According to Lcars I have tested and proven many times on level 33 Borg.
and if you are going after vet battleships using pike moreau and tlaan you will die the moment they crit an energy
I take on lvl 33 with a tier 7 vidar
I kill 10% more without using pike
so every 10 trips I'm saving 1 tw cell
and my moreau is only tier 3
tier 5 moreau without pike on battleships makes him look like a cadet
pike has 3 purposes, swarms and traders and for the sacrificial crit destroyer on armadas
I get a better outcome with 5 7 and 9 of 10 on swarms then pike, Moreau, tlann
if you have 5 yes that penetration will destroy them quick
but thats only valid on borg
using borg decius
But pike, Moreau, tlann. Is better the. Chen
Lmao, ok
tier 3 moreau takes all hits from the battlehips down, focusing on only 1 type leaves you open to heavy crits
Yes pike is the key. You need to slow down and listen
pike with moreau and tlaan is not better than chen with moreau and tlaan vs battleships
I watch maxed vidars kill just as much as my tier 7 on lvl 33 borg
Pike, Moreau, Chen should be used for all faction hostiles.
and they are using pike with moreau and tlaan
no
chen is useless against interceptors
pike moreau and chen is vs explorers/traders
Pike, Moreau, Tlann, should be used for swarm and Borg
pike moreau and tlaan is good vs interceptors but weaker than chen moreau and tlaan vs battleships
and again I'm only using a tier 3 moreau
tier 4 + makes pike with moreau and tlaan a joke vs battleships
comparing to chen moreau tlaan
Go hit a veteran anything with pike Moreau tlann, then do the same with Pike, Moreau, Chen. Report back to me on how it goes for you.
a veteran battleship won't matter what you use you will die unless you are using a tier 5 epic g3 or better
1 crit with a kinetic or energy is all it takes
What level ops are you darkprince?
without pike and moreua with an academy ability they hit 500k to 1m
so if you block only energy or kinetic you can't do both you die regardless
i'm 34
So you are ass backwards follow what I said you will progress faster
no thanks I'll rely on actual fact
and experience
money does not equal skill
and regurgitation the he says she says because no one will bother to check
I have Pike/Moreau with max Tlann and almost max chen
just level 35 swarms are really hard
academy crew should be maxed by time you reach ops 24 anyways
my franklin is only lvl 28
@dapper drum lmao academy crew? You were just telling me I was doing hostiles wrong.
chen and tlaan are academy crew
yeah you are so stupid no point bothering to argue with a dull brick wall
chen with tlaan and moreau > pike with moreau and tlaan vs battleships
when a 1.2m vidar kills same as a 800k vidar its obvious they 1.2m using pike is wrong
My Vidar crew, pike, Moreau and tlann are generally 5-10k below this crew in rss gathered
Throw Chen on instead of tlann 20-30k below
Hitting level 33 Borg hostiles
because you are still using pike
when comes to battleships even the borg compromising between 2 is the better choice
so you take 1/2 the hits from 100k to 10k but thats still a 60kavg
or you take all 100k hits to 25k thats a 50k avg
chen with moreua and tlaan is > pike with moreau chen/tlaan
So you have your own channel in lcars, with the heading lcars is full of shit, listen to me,
My testing says you are full of shit
technical stuff is accurate but not everything is going to be exact for everyone
Yes, if anyone actually listens to you I would laugh at them
of course because I know nothing of the game I'm just struggling along trying to be like everyone else thinking like everyone else because I'm told to do so, yeah I can see you laughing at someone for actually trying
I mean if you could actually provide any evidence I would listen. But none so far

XDarkPrinceXToday at 9:54 PM
pike with moreau and tlaan is not better than chen with moreau and tlaan vs battleships
I watch maxed vidars kill just as much as my tier 7 on lvl 33 borg
Screen shots or it didnāt happen
I just showed you I have a 1M+ Vidar with 5 of 10 backs up my claims
all it takes is a few crits and pike loses out big time to a balanced mitigation
5of10 and 7of10 are completey different then PMC/PMT
and 7of10 is specialized only to borg
The fact you are attacking pike brings your claim down about 98%
against battleships
yes
a battle without 0 crits pike with moreau tlaan/chen whoever you choose takes more damage than chen with moreau and tlaan
a battle with crits PMT/PMC loses even more
you can't choose which weapon type will fire the hardest or crit the most
You are like level 26 right?
nope lvl 34
Go hit a veteran anything with your crew combo instant death
PMC vs explorers/traders there is no comparison with any crew
same with PMT vs interceptors
but with battleships pike isn't so mighty
even with PMC/PMT without lvl 20+ epic g3 you are dying still
No one that wants to advance listen to this guy
vets aren't hitting in the 50k to 100k range they are hitting 500k to 2m range
chen with moreau and tlaan will kill more battleships in normal battle than PMC or PMT will
proven in lvl 33 borg space and gyahan
unless you can kill a lvl 33 borg before their kinetic charges then PMC will be better
Obvious troll I am over it.
suit yourself bias is what bias does
@dapper drum you canāt make up data that no one else can replicate and say we are wrong.
I don't have to prove you are wrong you have to prove I am wrong
You havenāt proven you are right
I'll use my combos because they work better you have better battleship crew than PMC/PMT so doesn't matter to you
No screen shots no battle logs nothing
but 7of10 only works on borg so only have that going for you
not my problem you are trying to prove me wrong not other way
Prove it, or stop trolling
I don't have to prove it I know it works
you are the doubter not me
you have to prove me wrong
go run 100 battles of each and prove me wrong with all your SS
anything less and you will let your bias sit in
being challenged force you into political views now š¤£
whats next? my dad can beat your dad?
I have been nothing but supportive for you to produce the data to back up your claims
@dapper drum my dad is dead so you win that one,
I've done the leg work your data doesn't suit me
our techs and ships are different
chen as captain with tlaan is 30% more dodge that puts me at 65k at tier 7
reduces energy 30 and tlaan is 20 on kinetic, moreau is -50% mitigation
overall vs a borg or klingon battleship this is stronger than PMC or PMT
It works for you I would not recommend to every other person that plays the game.
@dapper drum data including screenshots of your exploits would be appreciated.
With your crew combinations
You know the science with data to prove it.
Jesus guy's I was just giving out about Scopely removing Khan from the swarm eventš
My reds measure is kills per hull or loot per hull depending on what the goal is. Some other combo might have a chance at being better but pm and pmt are the most consistent by far. Repeatable results, trio after trio.
even against the unpredictable borg probes CMT is 15 kills to 15 kills vs PMT
CMT mitigates more damage after the energy and kinetic reduction
PMT helps only if the borg probes crit more often on their kinetic
Mine is comparable to 798. 15 kills, really? Bah!
Crews are so different by there level blanket statements and ability donāt make up for it
Let alone letās not mention the below decks
828k vs lvl 33 is taking 17716 hull damage total no crits using CMT
Because below decks are everything for maxing a ships ability and bonus
31082 with a kinetic crit CMT
26941 hull damage with PMT
crit on energy
20507 hull damage no crits
with PMT
CMT mitigates more damage incoming even if its total reduction before hand is less then PMT
@dapper drum still havenāt figured out how to max a ships potential. Would love to see his crewing of a triangle for pvp.
Lmao thatās the same crew I said you should use and you said not to.š¤¦āāļø
thats part 2 of it
CMT takes less hull damage overall
and after 2 to 3 trips will kill 3 to 4 more overall
the mitigation after its incoming is greater than the reduction of focusing on only 1 type of weapon
and you are bring both types down enough that the increase in dodge works in your favor
XDarkPrinceXToday at 10:55 PM
31082 with a kinetic crit CMT
26941 hull damage with PMT
crit on energy
20507 hull damage no crits
with PMT
CMT mitigates more damage incoming even if its total reduction before hand is less then PMT
with no crits avg hull damage is 17.5k with CMT
avg with PMT is 20k
PMC will be worse if they crit on kinetic as it will be in the 500k range
We are on different planets
and this is vs borg probes
thats not the same with 5of10 when you are running high tier officers the mitigation boost is much higher
and you can kill them before they even fire kinetic
CMT vs regular faction battleships and non faction battleships hits better then PMT or PMC even more than vs probes
but again spending = skill right
and even without 5of10 your vidar at that boost will kill a 33 before it can fire its kinetic and thats when PMC is best
@dapper drum your right me being in this game for 18 months and being a beta and alpha tester in others. Makes me have no idea what I am talking about. Even though you have provided zero data to back up your claims.
just showed build and SS of battle logs with both and CMT took less hull damage in on avg
by 2.5k per battle
bought not built kind of guy right
Not going to make a special trip to give you real time data. But everything you have said contradicts everything I have seen and everything lcars have said. So I am going to stick with you are a troll that really just doesnāt understand yet.
yep because I just started playing this year not when it came out
and grinded my way up instead of spending mortages on a game
actually I just started playing last month if thats the case
Like I said we are not dealing with the same
yes you bought not built
I get that
I've been around since before scotty work shop and lcars was even a glimpse of a thought
and I have better things to spend my money on
So we were around same time, you are welcome for me supporting the game so itās still here.
But my crews and ships still say you are 100% wrong. Sorry
your crew and ships don't fit the criteria of the argument
PMT is not better than CMT vs battleships
Just stop
Go to porn hub or wherever else you go
someone who doesn't spend has to be conservative on expenses in game
I've grinded for my g3 epics and for my triple faction lock with and without pike
and when it comes down to killing battleships CMT is the way to go
And you got your g3 epics without spending?
Are you on the founders server?
lvl 34 shipsyard finished after I finally got enough credits for ent
no
my server started end of december 2018
150 days of faction hunts dailies scouts and charged probe exchange
You're better off hunting explorers against triangle than PMT against battleships..
I use PMC for traders in groombridge and timore
klingon space 39's are harder to come so I goto gyahan and use CMT for quick dailies
@dapper drum whatās your server number?
29
Even with cadets you're probably better off hunting explorers against triangle (in my testing, but I haven't tried the Chen captain one)
Your a liar about the g3 epics and I am done . @dapper drum straight up 100% troll
CMT is +30% defenses -30 energy -20 kinetic and 50% mitigation
.. I got a D4 without buying any faction credits or blueprints?
I am not lying you just can't come to believe someone can do it without having to take out a second mortage or max a credit card
spending does not equal skill
I have my ent and 2/3 to augur and 1/3 to d4
@dapper drum I keep meaning to try these Chen captain ones, I'll get around to it eventually š¬ but outside of that, just hit explorers, they're chumps bš
getting there
i grinded both ent and augur. It is doable if you are playing for over a year
free epics isnt bull
Took me over 18 months, but I wasn't doing Armadas š¶
The epic is not why I am calling him a troll it is everything he said before that
150 days or less from 0 credits
The epic was the cherry
Yeah he is a troll at heart š
180 if you don't include random FH's
The crew combos you are promoting, tell me you donāt have an epicš
you just can't take your bias being attacked
CMT is greater than PMT/PMC on battleships
Not bias your lack of evidence or facts to back up anything you say
i've spent just around 3200USD and thats on monthly packes going upto lvl 28 and NS/Vidar/Jelly/Primes
never bought a faction ships
the 3 offiers packs I bought was for badges and promotion
Lmao at that crew combo, still doesnāt prove its yours
I showed you the proof
Because battleships sand interceptors are mixed weapons, go just PMC on explorers instead for excellent results.. I hunt explorers with my D4 all the time š¶
