Is your mind even a little open @abstract gate ? I genuinely use mine but not for anything I cant use other ships on. I doubt it's true value can be appreciated until later arcs and I don't know about you - but I don't want to be the person who neglects it and regrets it.

@granite wadi yup, just like lots of people who did the same with their franklins, their vidars, their Stellas, and then were scrambling and then complaining the ships weren't strong enough for the later arcs ๐ lol
or didnt even have it, like the vidars.
thats why they put it in the battle pass for 2 arcs ๐

Hmmm, can we get an answer from someone who isn't a Scopely.. cough.. rider?
earnest hornet
Hmmm, can we get an answer from someone who isn't a Scopely.. cough.. rider?
@abstract gate what???
really??? you resort to Insults???
and no i am not
abstract gate
And back to your example. I invested a ton of real cash into the Vidar as an example. SO.. $4-500 later, now I can farm some extra faction creds by grinding a crap ton every day? Yay??
earnest hornet
so you dont need the credits?? good luck levelling your officers then
and getting ships
or faction rep
abstract gate
I can get the credits anyway around, for free
Could have also invested the cash directly into credits as well
earnest hornet
exactly using the vidar,
abstract gate
The Vidar is trash. Change my mind
earnest hornet
um, i havent spent any money on my vidar,
and its 1 upgrade away from max,
lol, what Ops level are you?? i
I have a maxed Sally at 31, maxed tier spock, alot of officers that needed faction credits, so the faster i can increase my credits,
at lvl 31 i am triple faction locked,
abstract gate
I'm 39
earnest hornet
yes i spent a bit longer time at lvl 31 than i may have needed too, i only just levelled up to 32 yesterday, and today pushed the button to lvl 33
so you dont want the extra credits or faction rep?? then fine dont use it, but you say its trash and crap, but i bet you still use it thos
abstract gate
So this is the opinions of people with literally half the power I have.. good times. Thanks for the input
earnest hornet
good luck with your stuck up the arse attitude, from someone trying to help people
abstract gate
No honestly I apologize for being rude, just voicing my opinion, and could have used more tact.
earnest hornet
right, whatever dude.
abstract gate
Seriously, thanks for voicing your opinion(not being sarcastic)
earnest hornet
and fine your 39, it may not be AS much use at your level, but I know LOADs of people at your level that still use it everyday for the borg probes,
You need it for the Borg officers, for faction credits, for Faction Rep,
but i bet then you have all your borg officers maxed then if you have no use for a vidar ๐
abstract gate
All I'm trying to say is the event ships are a money grab, with little real use. You're probably better off spending all the cash you spent on event ships , and using it towards packs that have more of a direct benefit. IE: Packs with uncommon material/faction creds/and rare or epic blueprints. This may be debatable, but it's a very valid point. Now if you're free to play, and have 4-8 hours to play the game every day, it may be a different story
earnest hornet
like yea i get that if you have that amount of money to spend on packs to just buy you ships.
granite wadi
It all depends what you are looking for from the game. I have not spent $4-500 on anything in game, let alone one ship. I want the variety. I enjoy the event ships as part of the journey. It is fun learning what makes them tick. Whist I have pushed hard to get to my lowly level 31, I am accepting that the game is slowing down for me and am starting to admire the scenery on my route.
heavy cradle
@abstract gate - at your level the Discovery may not be anything more than an event ship for you, sadly. You are likely beyond the target of the arc. Event ships aren't money grabs as much as "content grabs": i.e. a way to make content that is for a specific period of time, then has a secondary use for some of the player base.
nova valley
Only a few uses event ships outside arcs
@shrewd totem SOOOOOO untrue. lol
earnest hornet
like yes i bought the first vidar as soon as the borg arc started, so buy the end of the arcs i had enough for 3 vidars, cos they still gave them free in 2 battle passes.
and i do spend a little money but not alot, just here and there.
heavy cradle
your example of the vidar, at 39 I can see it not being a great ship anymore. Guess what, that Mayflower you spent months maxing isn't great at 39, either.
nova valley
my server is running muddmadas everyday (stella) and the vidar is oen fo the best base defense ships there are
heavy cradle
same as that Jellyfish you spend $50 on back at level 14
nova valley
@heavy cradle it actually is great
@shrewd totem tos crap
heavy cradle
my vidar is amazing, and I'll still max it out, just saying at 39 I can see it not being a "go to" ship. Same as other ships at that ops level.
random tide
No I get that
But in our server blue, I see players ask what ship route to go. And I see alot of people advising skipping vidar cuz it uses crystal for sally
heavy cradle
but first and foremost it was designed for a multi-month event sequence. I've heard the Stella once powered up is pretty dang fierce at pvp, too.
random tide
And I just think thats a horrid idea
earnest hornet
my vidar is amazing, and I'll still max it out, just saying at 39 I can see it not being a "go to" ship. Same as other ships at that ops level.
@heavy cradle but it will still be the go to ship for the borg probes, as thats the right tool for the job, ๐
heavy cradle
people go sally crazy to me. It's a great ship, but if you skip everything for the sally you just limp along to 29.
random tide
28
heavy cradle
on our server we have ops 31-33 folks with terrible crews and underpowered sallies, too. ๐คฃ
random tide
Yeah. I stopped giving crew advice because I realized I was making it harder for me
Pulled the old @shrewd totem
heavy cradle
I stopped preaching it because so many folks just don't understand. They think "ooh, I unlocked this purple guy, he's gonna be amazeballs".. ๐คฆ
while I'm here like -
random tide
All mjs crews are ones I taught him
heavy cradle
then again, I'm the same guy that spent 6 months without a franklin just because I didn't want to pay for it ๐คฃ
random tide
Bro. I know spending on ships is stupid
earnest hornet
and then still bought it anyway?? lol ๐
random tide
But the amount of resources and speed ups I've saved using the franklin was worth it
heavy cradle
and then still bought it anyway?? lol ๐
@earnest hornet bought it with event credits, actually. No money spent out of pocket.
I like the franklin now that I have it, gives me an excuse to do the swarm dailies some.
random tide
But boy is it a grind. Ive got two mark 8 guns done. Still need all the other mark 8 upgrades to go. But man, that ship is cheap to repair
heavy cradle
without it, the only time I did swarm was on Sundays. Saved me a TON on resources and speed ups ๐คฃ
mine is still Tier 5, but it's getting there
random tide
Yeah, its a grind
heavy cradle
need to get MJs freebies when he offers them up
tawny void
We joined up with another alliance to do fm exchanges. Saves some players lots of grinding. Too late for me though๐ I am maxed and donate fm
heavy cradle
we have folks that do it individually. they really should introduce a way to "refine" them into 3* ship parts or something.
just moved to the east coast, so maybe you'll get more chances now Gobb.
random tide
Yeah, I saw someone post a screenshot here once of like 20 mil modulators they didn't need
heavy cradle
one of our guys has like 5mil stockpiled. I've tried to suggest to him to work with someone to donate over, but alas no.
random tide
Lol
I think i need 2.4 mil to finish out tier 7 and then ill be onto the last upgrades once I hit ops 30
But mk9 guns are like 2.4 mil a piece. Its ridiculous.
final prism
Donโt you guys have a modulators exchange program on your server?
tawny void
Got no idea how much of my life I have wasted grinding swarm๐ญ๐
heavy cradle
Donโt you guys have a modulators exchange program on your server?
@final prism not as a thing, no. It's much more individual setup.
random tide
Most of the people on our server that have maxed Frank's aren't the type to share
heavy cradle
I've personally done some borg probe exchange, though.
since I can get 200k in a run, which is weeks of refines for early vidars
random tide
If i do 29s, I can fill cargo. But that takes forever
heavy cradle
I do 29s and fill cargo, but only twice a week
I'll max my vidar right before Thanksgiving, as long as my PS5 doesn't distract me ๐คฃ
final prism
When Iโve finished my swarm daily, my Franklin is just about filled and since I donโt need them anymore itโs better to share
random tide
Yeah. I do something similar. The 500k double refine ain't worth it considering the time it takes
heavy cradle
I can't handle the cost mechanic of the double refines, personally. I'd rather take twice as long and spend 1/8th the rss, myself.
I"m not in a rush to be "1st"
random tide
I feel that
earnest hornet
I"m not in a rush to be "1st"
@heavy cradle thats right, thats why i stayed lvl 31 for quite a few months cos it was a good spot to sit for events, while i gre my sally, and ground fation rep, i now have a maxed sally, high tier officers, and triple faction locked
a couple day ago went to lvl 32, today clicked the button to go to ops 33, to sit on the odd level.
heavy cradle
I'm similar, but using a Bortas and at ops 29 ๐คฃ
should dual faction lock early in Oct.
earnest hornet
Nice blu bee, yeah i was 31 for 6 months
indigo perch
@heavy cradle if any business person ran a store. like the single, double, triple, prime refines, the townfolk would string them up for theivery.
Think about it 5 pounds of flower cost 10 cents, but if you get it now, you can buy 10 pounds of flower for 50 cents. ...scopley refinery math.
Prime refinery, worst purchase ever.
heavy cradle
I think of it as efficiency. Like mpg in your car. At 100kph you get one efficiency, but at 200kph its way less efficient
indigo perch
@heavy cradle nah, that's how a combustion engine works, not a refinery. Output is measurable.
heavy cradle
So i can either get 200km buy spending 1L of petrol, or spending 3L. Just depends on how long i want to spend getting there
indigo perch
Oa better example is putting a higher octane petrol in your car thinking you will get better range.
heavy cradle
I mean, they are all metaphor nose dives, but similar concepts
indigo perch
Not only will you not get better range, your engine is tuned for the lower octane, so you wear it out faster.
heavy cradle
If you want to decrease the time, an exponental effort is required. Its a way to allow rushing but at a cost
indigo perch
@heavy cradle its still equates to scopley cheats their customers, ther is no other v iui able conclusion.
heavy cradle
I dont see that part as cheating. Its an up front risk/reward system
indigo perch
@heavy cradle not in a refinery, not in baking , the equation is fixed.
heavy cradle
Want to get your vidar in half the time? Gonna cost your 4x the probes. Just a gating mechanism, and one i dont participate in.
But this isnt a baking game, or oil refining tycoon.
indigo perch
There is no real life example you can provide where 4x raw material, cteras paribus, nets a 10 percent or less net output.
heavy cradle
Its a fictional refinery, based around a gating mechanism
indigo perch
@heavy cradle that is a copout statement, I'm done.with the conversation.
heavy cradle
Gave an example where 4x raw material consumption happens in the real world, but you discounted it.
And its the best analog for a time gating structure i can give
(which is what that mechanic is)
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
indigo perch
@heavy cradle that does not happen in a combustion engine. Ita scalable, measurable and constant. The refinery is none of the above. You did NOT give a real life example, you gave a bad anecdotal example.
pale cobalt
The refinery is/always has and always will be bad, It is gated for a reason many don't agree with the reason but there is one if the refinery wasn't gated everyone would be in the lvl 40's and doesn't equal profit for Scopely to keep the game going
heavy cradle
another good analouge is shipping prices. Next-day is always exponentially more than 2nd say.
and just another example of time gated content where you pay more depending on how fast you want to get there.
of everything I dislike about the refinery, the increasing cost mechanism is not one of them. It's measurable and known. You want to get to the next tier faster, you are going to pay more.
indigo perch
@heavy cradle wrong! Buying beer at a sporting event is the only real correct answer.๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ. As for logistics, dont go there, I teach logistics, I'm not gonna school you on that while thumb typing. Short answer, that's supply and demand, not input output.
And, I've measured all the refinery over time, you get there just as fast with single pulls.
iron knot
Anyone know which days 'Where No One Has Gone Before' new event will run? Not on original timeline and announcement doesn't say.
heavy cradle
@indigo perch as i said before, they are all metaphor nosedives, but the effect is the same. You pay more to get additonal faster. Especially for things like the probes.
indigo perch
@heavy cradle cool. Beer at sporting events works for me.
And funnel cakes at the fair.

@heavy cradle is that up to date as we've already had one event on apac servers but that timetable says first event is 26/9 (JST)? it really is a mess to read

@granite zenith hello... It's me again... And I really don't know if i can handle this "dont swear" thing... Its unbelievable what scopely delivers here... Next bug incoming ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
I have taken and solved any possible quest from active discovery quests... Result is this:
granite zenith
your points dont add up
known issue and EMH John has addressed this... let me find the post
exotic robin
Nice... It is known... A really good known answer... I guess i know the answer for the request of retaliation too???
granite zenith
Regarding A New World, A Violent World, rewards will be given out based on completion of missions outlined in the scoring table after the event ends. There will be an announcement on this as well. Rest assured, you'll get your rewards.
Nice... It is known... A really good known answer... I guess i know the answer for the request of retaliation too???
@exotic robin well retaliation probably wont help you out... however there was talk of compensation
by the way.. if you were unsure... Im just a content creator, not a moderator, nor an employee of scopely... im happy to try to answer your questions... but thats about the extent of my authority... my suggestion, as always will be to file a ticket, because the only people who can issue anything would be scoplely employees
exotic robin
I'm very excited... Will see how this works out... To say that clear: i know you arent responsible for the mess this company is delivering one after another...
Good that we both are aware of this ๐๐
pale cobalt
@granite zenith Just out of curiosity as it has been complained about a lot on my server will players who are level 40 and were unable to complete the missions also be compensated?
granite zenith
that i am unaware of... i do know that the missions were indeed scaled basically at the request of the 40+ players who had complained that the missions were too easy and not worthwhile. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
pale cobalt
Some level 40 players on my server were complaining that the missions required them to have a G4 ship which they can't build until ops 42
I say some it was all the level 40 and 41 players on my server that were complaining about that ๐
exotic robin
The biggest problem is THIS SUPPORT you are telling me about... And the way they deal with problems scopely is responsible for and foremost, failures will happen everywhere, how they act to their paying costomers and take this responsibility for their wrongdoings and retaliate the players that are victims of this things... Nothing, bug approved and retaliation NOTHING!? Tickets were closed, they threatened me to not open another... Its disgusting... Never made such an experience...
And the really funny joke is to get adviced to contact this support again...
I know its not your fault but I hope you can understand my situation after all this happened...
A very good help would be to get a person who can handle seriously and responsible support issues in german who is not part of this despicable ingame ticket system...
granite zenith
well if you are having all these issues... perhaps a moderator can assist you and attempt to escalate the issue... unfortunately that is way above my paygrade

@exotic robin agree.
I opened a ticket for the exact same issue. The first time i was just told to keep working on missions. Even though i told them i had finished all the missions. They just closed the ticket. The second time they addressed it by saying it was a known issue and we would be compensated. Ticket immediately closed. It used to be you could respond but now they dont want any feedback or wont let you have a followup question if they didnt actually answer the correct question. Its the worst customer service I've ever experienced and that includes the IRS telephone system.
dim moon
This is a question for the <@&509690795536941056> on behalf of my alliance, and I'm sure I speak for many of the true fans of this great, true to trek-lore PVP game.
A couple of months after this game launched, you held an event (i think over a weekend?) which was the single best event you have ever had but which sadly you have never run again.
Like other successful clash-clone mobile MMO games, you had an event where points are scored for killing other players. I loaded my ship with the PVP kligons, and did what this game was designed to do. Purge the universe, fighting with honor and opening the way to Sto vo kor! Without these events, you deny us true fans our rite of passage.
The event was, and remains, the single most fun event you have ever ran. The event was a total and utterly success, and much praise was heaped upon you by the true fans of this game. I don't think I logged off until the event ended! Sleep was for the weak and the scared.
Rather than expanding such events to include the raiding of stations, and bonus points for things like the scalps of miners, you have never run such an event again. Millions of honorable klingons have thus been denied their birth-right.
When will you be bringing them back? In every successful PVP game I have ever played, they run these events. Its the one thing that is lacking in STFC.
Please, please, please bring them back. You could run them in a similar fashion to how you are running the discovery burst events. Imagine the fun that could be had, announcing a burst in system X, and let the purge begin. Ships with precious cargo would score bonus points.
For example, you do a limited type pvp within the latium mining event. But this only rewards the theft of latinum. It is not the primary purpose of the event. There should be an event where the primary purpose is battle. Bonus points for stopping an armada dead in its tracks. Bonus points for emptying a station. Bonus points for reaching 50, 100 ship milestones.
These should be seperate events with their own rewards. But for maximum success they should be run alongside a PVE event, to encourage other activities so that players can't simply just not play for 24-hours. Perfect example would be during one of your highly boring mining marathons. Running a PVP event alongside this would suddenly make mining a truly rewarding experience, where the miner actually achieved something, being able to escape with his precious cargo instead of just camping a node for two days and making up insane server rules that prevent the hitting of nodes during these events.
I hope you give this some serious thought, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
GhengisClam
silent horizon
You are delusional mate. Event was showered with praise? What are you on? I remember the event you speak of, and it was a disaster. Everyone was hunting miners, no pvp whatsover. Or they were trading kills. Otherwise, the vast majority of players either logged off for the duration of the event, or were just doing other things, keeping their ships in base. It was a catastrophi event. โTrue fansโ , wtf, are you in kindergarden to use that sort of language lol. The reason why the event never ran again, it is because it was a total mess. Otherwise, had it been this glorious succes you fantasize about, and as such it could have been monetized, Scopely would have surely repeated it, have no worry. The only succesful pvp event they did, which still requires some adjustments, was when they limited the use of warships to just a few of them, and to just a few systems. Otherwise, specifically the event you speak of, was a complete and utter failure, and it will never see thte day of light again.
dim moon
True fans of a PVP game. Whiners aren't fans. For every whining farmer playing (more like paying) this game, there are two pirates longing for something to be thrown their way, event-wise.
I agree with you @silent horizon you are right to point out that there where lots of cry-baby-buntings during that event, who ruined the game for the silent majority who enjoyed immensely every aspect of it.
Sadly, as is the case with many things on this planet, people only speak out when they are against something. If 90% of a population are happy with something, you are only going to hear from the 10% who are unhappy. It is human nature to speak out when you don't like something.
Unless they designed a survey specifically to ask how many enjoy such events, listening to the complaints (i agreed there were a lot) is only getting one side (the small side) of the story.
A pvp game needs pvp events. Better planned, and better thought out, granted. But doing nothing is a cop out.
Example: ramp up and increase the pve reward during such an event, to encourage people to play during pirate weekend, for example. Find ways to eliminate "trading" off.
There's no better feeling than clearing Voss of miners and listening to the sweet music and offense potty-mouthed PMs afterward...
winged tulip
Want to get rid of any silly rules about opc, just change the daily goals from mine X g3 to 'acquire' X g3..
silent horizon
Dude, you presume too much, and think you are in the majority, on top of that, which is quite hilarious. There was a survey at the end of that event, i remember filling it out, and showing my displeasure. Do you really believe that if the โmajorityโ of players liked it, scopely wouldnt have brought it back? This is a company which proves every day that is interested in money, and money alone. The event you speak of threatened the money bank, since way more players than โtrue fansโ as you and a handful of people did not like it. The event was bad, clinging to it wonโt change that, and it wonโt bring it back. The recent pvp events were good, cause they brought all players to the same level, and limited conflict to just a few area, allowing different other activities to take place, thus giving people to option to play the game how they want. People who want to mine can mine, people who want to pvp go to those areas, with the designated ships, and blow each other up. Simple. Unless you are one of those who invested a lot of โฌ in the game, and as such you only want to parade your big flashy ships in front of everyone, case in which you are kind of a hypocrite. I am not against pvp, I am against pvp which disturbes all other activities. Cause, like it or not, you are in the minority. Otherwise, as I mentioned, scopely would have run the event again, but they didnโt. Numbers donโt lie, and their numbers showed that that event was not good for business.
weak copper
@silent horizon is right though. That event was a disaster. Within an hour of it starting most players just shielded up and logged off the game for the 3 days it was scheduled.
rough frost
That event was a bust ๐ within 2h, everyone was with ship home and under bubble lol. The event was cancelled within the day
frozen abyss
My alliance lost 10 members due to that pvp event because people thought it was going to be a regular thing and didn't like it
stable cedar
Yeah but the rewards were nice
winged tulip
I'd love to see a poll of people that got through to final gauntlet round, if they'd bother to do it again - i'd certainly suggest our alliance skip it next time.
i didn't mind the original PVP event, but stopped bothering when i saw 2 players just smashing realtas into eachother's bases and top on the scoreboard
PVP which is easily gamed isn't fun. PVP which allows high levels to smash everything in sight isn't fun, especially when them doing it interrupts your own activities.
stable cedar
Was nothing to lose....too 50 got tokens for event and top 50 got reward from event...all u had to do was score 1 kill
winged tulip
Yeah i got top 10, but the first weekend's grinding wasn't fun, and wasn't worth the eventual rewards imo.
2nd week was a joke and 3rd week's armada LB was mostly P2W
rough frost
Gauntlet was ๐ฉ..... Where is the challenge, the fun, the fight in having a 5 million kelvin stopping 49 others trying to do some pvp.
The range gap is ridiculous. Would be much better to have some lvl restrictions
long slate
Haha, you guys are funny. Star Trek Series doesnโt align with PVP at all. Klinglonโs, Federation and Romulans donโt go around blasting each other to bitโs. Star Trek has always been about exploration with bitโs of war thrown in.
winged tulip
And also yeah that level gap causes the 'sod this, lets cheese the event' mentality. After seeing one alliance camping the system the first nights in ships that we can't afford to buy, i arranged with alliance to drop tag, and do some kill trading as soon as they're gone/afk. Result was we got top 10 and most of them dropped to last, as no one would enter the system while they were blockading it.
spiral forge
i never thought stfc is a pvp game, in fact the incitation for pvp is quit small, very small pvp events, not real reward in doing pvp...
rough frost
@winged tulip we done the same ๐ but it was only plan B, we would had love some real and fair fun
spiral forge
it they want it as a pvp game, they will set good rewards for that, and that s not the case.
stable cedar
People who donโt like PvP usually have a tier 7 mayflower and crew it with Chen.
long slate
I donโt understand why people are to mold the stfc universe into PvP. As a whole Star Trek has always been about exploration, discovery etc.
This game mostly aligns with the lore as a whole
winged tulip
If they wanted genuine PVP they'd have made any ship killed in that system repair instantly for free, and do some sort of increased damage over time mechanic to make sure that anyone in a maxed G4 ship can still be killed eventually. Make sure people aren't punished for bringing the biggest ship they can, rather than cheap kills and vemet.
long slate
And letโs be honest, PVP sucks on this game. The targeting lag is bad
The only good PvP is targeting a miner because itโs stationary
Or a base
winged tulip
The only PVP i enjoy is baiting people to smash their face against my base, and draining bases..
long slate
Iโm trying to figure out when the federation just went out and started attacking every ship in a movie, tv series or book. Nope, wonโt find it lol
The closet would be the Klinglons, but nope
frozen abyss
That would be the mirror universe, I believe.
winged tulip
I do think fights are a bit too predictable at the moment - when i know i've got a 2.1m strength ent, and i can see they've got a correctly crewed stronger ent or augur, there's very little motivation for me to fly in and smash my ship. Especially for fairly unimpressive event rewards..
narrow light
Simple really, pvp event where it only scores for your own ops level, p2w and F2p more likely to be fighting each other
winged tulip
I'd do the scoring based on damage done rather than wins, reward you for smashing your big ships up even if you don't win the fight, and prevents silly stuff like an alliance camping the system, hitting hostile alliances till they're low hull then handing the kill to a friendly alliance.
In general the free/instant repairs are definitely needed to encourage people to use their best ships, rather than camping a strong ship in system to scare everyone else off, while you smash little ships with vemet for points.

@winged tulip
Our alliance had fun stopping these trades
winged tulip
Very hard to do anything when 2 bases are next to eachother - fun trying to interrupt a raid like that though!
thorn relic
I have been suggesting it during every survey but a good pvp mechanic addition would be to have random events that occur, regardless of ship size, for instance a random hit causes warp core breach and instant destruction, regardless of ship size
Maybe small 1% chance which increases with every pvp kill you make
So big huge 20 mil ship kills another ship, only 1% chance to blow up, it doesnt. Next battle is 2% chance, etc
So people cant sweep miners all the time with no risk. Eventually they will blow up. Redocking/repair resets back to 1%
Also makes pvp more inetresting, its not always biggest ship

Pvp should be factored with negative points for a warship initiating an attack against a miner or any other significantly smaller target. This should also apply to the PD stat, it would make the stat more legit.
A good rule of thumb would be pd goes down if attack is initiated against a target of 75% or less of attacker's power.
cloud grail
I once suggested that Miners should get 1000% buff when mining and under protected cargo.
They laughed me out of the room
peak cave
@cloud grail I am a huge proponent on the idea that Surveyors should only be able to be attacked by another Surveyor when mining, since they have no place in the battle triangle
scenic cloud
Bwwwwaaaaaahahahaha
indigo perch
@peak cave I just want a way to disincetivise ps hunters.
abstract gate
Alliance LB says 5pts for cultivated mycelium yet only gives half that when you refine. Scopely math
winged tulip
If i wanted to make PVP interesting then i'd say you can't put a peace shield up for 30 mins following any attack..

drowsy zinc
sucking at mining is incentive to spend on improvment
frozen abyss
Not just any nothing event: a mining event with no uncommon or rare materials as rewards.
drowsy zinc
but battlepass
frozen abyss
8k battle pass points. That's nothing, too
That's about half of all of the other battle pass events
merry fulcrum

frozen field
Thereโs still 9 days left of the battle pass I need 10k... Iโll wait
merry fulcrum
Mining events are useless unless they have bonus refinery
frozen abyss
Compared to all other battle pass events, this one has the worst rewards all around.
Bonus refinery would be the only thing to make this work it, and I'm not seeing one.
abstract gate
I have a bonus refinery...probably a slow roll on servers
pliant skiff
Really?
drowsy zinc
they will continue to get progressively worse. such is the way of the capitalist..
pliant skiff
This whole arc has been a disaster so far Iโm afraid
pliant skiff
But this is the worst by far
heavy cradle
This battle pass I've gotten more badges, and more uncommon mats, than the last 2 battlepasses. Not sure how it's "worse than others".
pliant skiff
Havenโt noticed a difference in rewards, but the events are all out of order, nothing corresponds to the published schedule
gritty turret
Worse? No. But for me it's taken a lot longer to complete. Still not done, and I'm on every day.
heavy cradle
still 8 days left in the battlepass, tho. I'm usually done with 4-5 days left, personally.
silent timber
These timed events are the worst idea ever! People have to work and can not stop real life to play every hour for 10-15 minutes, let alone do this for 5 hours. Whoever came up with this event needs to stop.
Thank goodness the rewards for this event are not that great. Which is another issue, if people are putting this much effort into this event, why do the rewards suck...compared with faction hunt events, this takes way more dedication and the rewards would have to improve just to suck!
winged tulip
Yep. Timed event 5 times daily just to get the stuff that lets you tier the disco, which should be available all the time anyway.
frozen abyss
This takes way less dedication and time to send the Discovery to 1 system for 5 minutes 5 times a day
heavy cradle
I actually find them challenging and a bit fun. The have to schedule 5 top of the hours is a bit much, but I like the format as a "once in a while" thing
frozen abyss
That's literally half an hour of your time compared to hours for faction hunt.
winged tulip
No, it's 5 hours over a 24 hour period where i need to have the first 15 minutes free, discounting the hours i spend asleep, eating, or at work. FH i can fit in any time i want.
heavy cradle
just completing one lets you refine and get parts
inner ermine
why am i stuck in event mission
heavy cradle
but if you do all 5 you can refine a 6th box, which is kinda nice
winged tulip
None of it is kinda nice, when i need 1100 parts for T4 spore drive, and i get maybe 50-80 from 6 chests.
knotty birch
Thatโs terrible. What a horrible ship to upgrade at such a low level.
heavy cradle
so? just means you can't max it in a week. It's going to be a 3-4 month arc
option b - don't do the events and care about "such a low level" ship. They aren't manditory
heavy cradle
point is, the story arc is 3-4 months just like the vi'Dar, just like the Stella
winged tulip
Franklin sucked to grind, but at least i could grind whenever i want. This is gated by refinery output, and gated again by only being able to get refinery tokens if i play inside a 15 minute window when events are up. If you think that is fine, all power to you - i think you're nuts and it's awful design.
heavy cradle
and we are barely 2 weeks into a 3-4 month story arc, with correlating events
shrewd totem

@winged tulip it is the worst thing ever in this game
heavy cradle
it's gated exactly how the vi'Dar is.
shrewd totem
Nope
heavy cradle
and an easier mechanic than the stella gating
shrewd totem
Vidar was maxed in a month
winged tulip
Nope.. Vidar you can grind enough borg parts to refine parts daily
winged tulip
lol we'll see
heavy cradle
granted, I only do the "single" refine each day, but even the double would have cut it to 3 months for the vidar
scenic elk
Vidar is actually worth it though ๐
heavy cradle
in hindsight. When it was first released everyone said it was underpowered garbage
winged tulip
I don't care about the vidar. I don't care about needing to use the refinery to get vidar upgrades. I care that i can't use the refinery for the discovery unless there are events up which reward refinery tokens, which so far feels like it happens for about 2 days every week. I care that even when i can use the refinery for the discovery, the output is crap and won't even let me upgrade a single component. I care that after this arc is nearly over, i won't have earned a single officer badge from the faction store, which was supposed to be the entire purpose of this shit<del>p
heavy cradle
to @nova valley point over and over again, gotta relax
scenic elk
it remains that way if you want to use it as a warship, but its great for miner hunt and intercepting miners in a raid
heavy cradle
easy answer there @winged tulip - don't do the events, don't work on the discovery
winged tulip
Why do you tolerate crap design and argue with us for calling it out? Do you think they'll ever improve anything if all that's ever said is if you don't like it, don't bother?
heavy cradle
it's easy. I don't feel it's inherently crap design just because it doesn't pander to me.
they've made a bunch of improvements specifically with the anomoly event based on calm rational feedback
heavy cradle
I'd rather see it be every 20 minutes instead of every 60, but as it stands now it's "manageable" every so often.
winged tulip
Their improvements are along the lines of polishing a turd while still pretending it isn't a turd
heavy cradle
the 4 days in a row was a bit much to me
dense lantern
Discovery is ๐ฉ, events are ๐ฉ, rewards are ๐ฉ have given up on all of them and just going battle pass.
winged tulip
fundamentally i don't like events which force my playtime on me in such narrow bands, it's a bad direction for the game to go in. Any minor improvements they can make to the events don't change that..
And lets not start on their relentless focus on creating new ways to overload their own servers
shrewd totem
Scopely must be thinking this is a job not a game. There is no other explanation for the required amount we need to play in order to be up to date with new stuff
heavy cradle
or, they are like every other MMO game developer and they have a ton of content for variety and want to give you options.
winged tulip
MMO lol
dense lantern
The theory behind the spore dirve isn't bad, but putting it on a ship that can't kill a gnat, and has as much warp range as my gran can walk is stupid.
shrewd totem
I like options but I do NOT like when each option requires at least 1 hour
winged tulip
i hate that they've made the discovery a dvor in an explorer shell if nothing else
heavy cradle
and they don't expect that you just do everything to the max every day
shrewd totem
You cant even do that. Would be over 24hours if I calculated stuff I need to do in a day
heavy cradle
I wish my dvor could instant warp to nodes. that would be pimp
shrewd totem
I am talking about basic stuff. Dailies+BP events+Arc events+stuff needed for Arc ship. That is the stuff we MUST do in order to "enjoy" new content
heavy cradle
I've gotten into "Maintenance mode" on most of my stuff. I can gather enough data for several days in a run now. I only farm probes every 3-4 days (not usually same day as data). I can get my dailies done for the full milestone rewards in about 20 minutes...
winged tulip
What level are you?
heavy cradle
ops29
winged tulip
In general, and i think this is the wrong way round, the higher level you get, the longer you have to grind.
shrewd totem
Yes
heavy cradle
that's typical for a MMO
shrewd totem
Nope
heavy cradle
not sure what MMOs you've played, but I've been playing since EQ1 and WoW Vanilla.
winged tulip
Not really - usually the power increase you get per level means you spend less time doing 'harder' activities, rather than being given higher targets
shrewd totem
^
heavy cradle
the grinds for stuff there make this look like child's play
winged tulip
well, wow is very different in that no grinding truly starts till you're max level - before then it's just questing
keen ledge
There is a significant difference between the expected time investment in a PC MMO and a mobile one.
Most people play mobile games in order to do something not as time consuming.
heavy cradle
maybe this isn't the right mobile game, then. /shrug.
shrewd totem
Well then it shouldn't have been MOBILE
heavy cradle
why? Why say "you made it mobile, so it has to fit this stereotype?"
keen ledge
That answer = no players, Bee. It's not the best approach if we want to keep active players.
winged tulip
Not so much not so time consuming, as not requiring long periods of uninterrupted or scheduled play time IMO. pick up and put down, not set alarms for miners, alarms for events, etc
Wow i'd have to dedicate a few hours at a set time every night if i want to raid or do M+ with my guild, the most organisation needed here should be for armadas
heavy cradle
you say no players, but by that logic any game that didn't fit a mold would never have players. Until Blizzard hit it out of the park, an MMO was a 'massive success' with < 250,000 subscribers.
if there isn't a market, the game won't succeed, and the devs have to adapt.
but just screaming "this sucks, I don't like it" doesn't change anything. It just creates a toxic environment where the developers don't want to be engaging
keen ledge
Neither does disregarding any opinion from other players who disagree with you by telling them to stop playing.
heavy cradle
I personally don't think it's perfect, and there's a ton I don't like about the game, but I still play because I do find it entertaining. I don't play Call of Duty because it doesn't match my play style, mobile or otherwise.
wraith fog
I like cod mobile because the game isnโt designed for people to take your guns when youโre afk.
winged tulip
Screaming that something sucks isn't productive, agreed. But explaining clearly why it sucks and how it should be changed, might well be considered helpful feedback.
heavy cradle
it would, along with "this is a way that could make it better". I've campaigned for a week now that the current 5 anomoly block is too much time commitment, personally. I've also said "here are several options to make it more player friendly"
recap -
option 1. Make it multi-day. Since this event is spread out over 2-4 days, make it a single event that lasts that long so players have more chances to finish each milestone.
option 2. Make each anomoly give out 5 points instead of 3. This reduces the number of "required" attendance to 3 (vs 5 currently), and makes it more attainable each day.
option 3. Make the anomolies spawn at 20 minute intervals instead of 60 minute intervals. This gives 3x the chances for folks to hop on, get an anomoly, and go on with their lives.
I like cod mobile because the game isnโt designed for people to take your guns when youโre afk.
@wraith fog I've personally put in feedback suggestions about how to fix this by actually making the vaults and warehouses worthwhile. The fact that your station is over max cargo (and max protected) for any given upgrade is crazy to me.
winged tulip
Option 4, do away with all the limited time crud and just keep the minimum event length to 6 hours like currently stands, or 24h for any important event.

This outage is so easy to prevent! QUIT testing code in production!!!! Have a dev server. Also run the servers on a proxy. The load should never be higher than 49% unless you are doing maintenance.

still doesnt fix the issue thoe
no point in scrapping my stella if i cant rebuild it as intended.
as scopely is so fond of saying,
"its working as intended"
even if its not.
seems the only time any thing gets done is when there is an exploit or glitch where scopely doesnt get their cut of the money.
hexed lark
Yeah well their going to lose a cut with this guy. I did not exploit, therefore my ban is wrongful and I have grounds to file suit.

Clearly the lack of being able to build another Stella is a temp fix while they fix the exploit. Or would you rather they lock everyone out of the game until they fix it?
granite zenith
@hexed lark it has been explained multiple times that you are not ban banned,,, you are locked out of the game while they fix the code that is in error on your account.
when it is fixed, you will have access to your account again

Says banned when I load app lol. How is that not Banned?
young pilot
Here is how you know:
Commanders,
Apologies for any misunderstandings that some players are having at the moment. If you are receiving the message upon login that your account is currently banned do not worry.
If your account happens to be one of the affected by the mechanism that gained extra resources you will see your account temporarily unavailable, while Scopely removes the extra resources. This is in no way to punish the players, but to make things fair for everyone.
From mod announcements
hexed lark
I gained nothing and still got banned. Why are others in game and I am not if I did not exploit?????
Basically got punished for signing in fss.
So if I lose a fart particle of par I'm going to sue!!!!!
uncut bridge
So it has been 2 hrs since i first got the banned notification on loging screen. 2 hrs. My free time to play thw game is up and will most likely get raided when the 12 hr 'ceasefire' bubble will expire. How 'fair' is that? Royally pissed here.

<@&509691205798592532> - Not being able to get the Choatic event royally sucks. Some of us were planning to finish the event during the time the server went down and we were not able to play. No compensation for those rewards...thanks. I am going to bed and canโt play the game. When I wake up, I have to be driving during the duration of the event time. No opportunity to finish the event...thanks! I know you are moderators but you do have the ears of Scopely.

I was about to say the same. The alliance rewards are really good and thereโs no way my alliance will be able to finish all the milestones now. How will that be compensated?
thin marten
Downloaded App to express my extreme displeasure with today's cluster f. Recvd message stating I had been banned due to lack of logins. Was logged into today. Now seems I was banned due to my normal Stella recycle once every 24hrs
granite zenith
t was an issue with scrapping altogether,,, which i am told introduced errors into the code of your account which seems to have to be manually corrected... the "ban message" is because tour account is offline, and once they have fixed the accounts, you should be able to log in as usual
while this was not intended to be a punishment, persay... i agree that it may feel that way because some are allowed in , while those of you who unintentially are affected are not allowed in.
the concerns, frustrations, and feelings of those affected has been passed along... i cannot say what, if anything they will do in response... however i can assure you that the message has been forwarded to those with the power to do anything

How does the chaotic alliance work? Iโve been maxing out all the other events but canโt get any points on that event. There sure needs to be clearer directions on these event without being a computer nerd.

@granite zenith I see you telling people that feedback is being submitted about the Stella and banned accounts and whatnot... can you please submit feedback asking to be compensated for the chaotic alliance event? Thereโs no way my alliance can finish it now and I want the rewards because theyโre really good
jaunty crown
@grave skiff - Every time you complete a milestone in the solo event, you get a point to the alliance event
So...15 points for each alliance member that completes their solo event
abstract gate
(you can do more than the 15 points though)
jaunty crown
True
granite zenith
nothin that has been passed to me... and to be honest... since it seems i am the only one left... unless a mod is lurking... that means at this point my direct pipeline has been shut down...
my assumption would be that a CM will be in before the 12 ceasefires run out... and that they should have much more information available than I.
jaunty crown
But that is the basic jist of the event
grave skiff
Thank you John, so that means if my mates are not doing events and max we will not receive a lot of points?

Correct. There is a minimum you have to meet to start getting rewards in the alliance event.
270 points to be precise.

real anchor
Really wish there were more hostiles spawning on the hostile killing events. It's bad enough that the discovery refines are terrible, takes 2 trips to kill enough hostiles with Discovery unless you're at a decent tier (see the refines comment), it only happening 15 minutes per hour and finally everyone being too greedy and hitting every hostile they possibly can because there's not that many spawning. So many easy things could fix this. Allow event in all systems, increase hostile spawn rate significantly, increase # of nodes, make the event available 24 hours like all the others.
granite zenith
@real anchor that feedback, and a lot of others was collected and passed along in our latest video...

earnest hornet
2 days ago 1 ring in anomaly = 1 ponit in chaotic space. today 1 ring earnt =nothing. Am I missing something how do I get the refinery tokens now?
@wanton mulch each anomaly event has 3 tiers, if you get all 3 that gives you 3 points for the Chaotic, but only in certain systems and the systems change each time,
So if you do all 3 Anomaly tiers, you will need to do it 5 times to get all Chaotic Tiers.
wanton mulch
Yes I know my point is I'm doing the anomaly events in the correct systems and getting the reward but its not counting it in chaotic space.
earnest hornet
ok, maybe have to screenshot before the event, and then after youve done the event and see whats happening, and send in to Customer support,
theres both mining and hostile killing it does change,
wanton mulch
OK update... It appears the mining events are OK it just hostiles are not working ๐ค maybe that will kickstart it and I'll only lose the 1st 2 events of the day :hopefull:
earnest hornet
I did my previous hostile one and it was fine, i always wait until the flags come up before i Spore jump to the system for the hostile kills, then i know for sure im in the right system
wanton mulch
Absolutely, I was jumping to the flags and earninc the distortion rings.... But then I guess it is an anomaly and chaos event so living up to its name ๐

no event store this arc

The last arc only, if they do as they have done before
Sadly, I suspect it will be useless for most as the disco and "go fetch, doggy" events will be the basis for earning the credits

For the extra 5 hrs of downtime that occurred due to a scopely malfunction during the maintenance, many wont be able to complete the alliance milestones. Is there gonna be anything done to make this right? The chest was nice and all but did nothing to aid in the lost event times.

Well scopely made base raiding almost impossible. The increased base regen kills miners immediately after a warship cracks a base. Even a pvp crew on a miner does nothing. @dire veldt
silent horizon
What are you talking about? I raided more than a dozen bases in the last 2 weeks, never had a problem once my Augur smashed the base open
uncut bridge
Today. I hit a base with sally augur then miner in that order. Miner died.
One sec interval with no chance to catfish repair
silent horizon
Take greater care. Keep hitting the base until the warship takes no damage, and then the miner will be ok
silent horizon
Same happened to me, cracked the base, waited 10m for shield, then i sent the miner in blind. Miner got blown up. As such, I sent the warships, and then the miner, and then all was good again in the world

(Not my normal base cracking crew or ship just an example)

@frail apex I loved that and wish it'll happen again... but seems like it was only for once...
According to the news
winged tulip
It was an OK gimmick, once. Not sure the rewards will get me doing it twice..
neat owl
It was something new... Kinda like a race...
All events are either kill hostiles or mine ( and they added some stuff like earn shards or spend mats which shouldn't even be called an event since rewards are never worth the things you spend for those LBs)
This at least had something new...
And not P2W
And moreover it was Solo
Solo Milestones are far more better than leaderboards and at least you know what you have to spend or do to gain certain rewards
So yeah, I love that event cuz it was new, and solo, and doable by anyone with a discovery ( all you had to do was participate in events) and a t4 scotty ( which even a lv 22 can get )
The only winner in LB events is Scopley
winged tulip
Yep. Any leaderboard quickly turns into an auction event.
scenic cloud
Lol. Its reset to the old way of raiding. Yahoo
Only the best and strongest can raid now lol. Love this game!

Attacked instantly ( the player has left the game months ago) and yep... the base seems to regen quite fast
Even after attacking consecutively at least one def platform seems to regen

All within 2 minutes bases shouldn't regenerate until 10 minutes after last hit

anyone else have an issue where only 2 of your 3 collected items counted for the 2nd event?

Can't stress how many people will leave the game if they don't resolve the PVP issue people need to be able to raid bases to get back what they lost
There should be no auto region bullship that doesn't exist in reality it shouldn't exist in the game if somebody bust your ship it doesn't magically start fixing itself you're supposed to pay for it
If you plan on turning this game into some Communist version of farmville you're going to lose a lot of people bro

mine hasn't yet, no
@nova valley - my current theory is that I earned the first point "too fast", and the solo ms event hadn't actually started yet. Theory breaks down that I didn't "claim" until I had 2 tokens earned up, though...
hasty delta
Why the hell are we having Swarm events in the middle of the week? Once a week is enough! Why don't you try bringing the separatist events back instead of overwhelming us with swarms?
@heavy cradle Because at some point you didn't complete one.
winged tulip
Anything but mining
heavy cradle
@heavy cradle Because at some point you didn't complete one.
@hasty delta Considering this was the very first one of this cycle, unpossible.
I earned 3 points (the first card). It registered 2 for the second event (the second card). Logical answer is what I said above, I earned the first token prior to the second event finishing being active, and thus it didn't count.
no way I can prove/disprove that one
hasty delta
yeah, just send the screenshots to Scopely then. They can check what was completed, but I guarantee that it won't be high on their priority list. Also, as was said by@nova valley , It could just be a server delay. I have been having a lot since the emergency maint yesterday
nova valley
yeah, but teypically 10 minutes, maybe 15.... it's been over an hour now lol i dunno that he'll get hat point. did it happen to pop with the second burst @heavy cradle
heavy cradle
I usually complete extra of these events to make sure we get all of the alliance milestones done (our participation on these discovery events is abysmal, go figure), so missing the point isn't going to kill me. It was more "anyone else having issues" to make sure it wasn't more widespread.
if it pops up later, cool. If it doesn't, I'll just kill an extra red at the top of the hour at some point.
torn zodiac
I just have to say it.... I get an alert on my phone saying to come participate in the event to get the new epic officer. It only 1 player will get full bps in each tier. And on most tiers and most definitely my tier. You could buy a car in real life with the money that will be spent to drop that many uncommon or rare... That is just the most insane way of releasing a new officer or any content early. To put it up for auction Is so beyond not what gaming is about. Its just 1 officer I mean holy cow man. I dont play game consoles anymore but my son does and for Christmas I will buy him the newest one and best model and it won't cost 1% of what it would take to win 1 officer... Players may be willing to do this and thats cool on their part but its not ok to know your taking advantage of their love for the game and squeeze them as much as they will let you. This may even be more acceptable if the game wasn't the #1 most bug filled MMO available and instead of putting some more money into a specific team to fix the issues that are reported you use that money to pay the devs to repeatedly push out new patches that are also bug filled. And you do this because you know each new patch comes with opportunities like this officer auction to rake it in. Its always said well thats what pays for the game but thats just not the case. Look at Xbox they have huge staff tons of factories and a decent App department on top of it all and they sell their products for less than 1% of the cost of the pack store... And they make plenty of money. Super sad because so many more players could truly be enjoying this game and its content of you put the customers first.

Other than that I participated in Data mining event where you can't just buy your way to top rank... you had to reset node every 10 second and you had to mine 15M data to get to rank 1
Well, the sad part is it isn't an event which can be boycotted easily
torn zodiac
Yes love those. That's skill!
heavy cradle
the officer mechanic is flawed in so many ways. Most folks end up keeping with the big 3 (Kirk, Gorkon, Nero) for most things, because they can actually improve them with regular effort. All these new officers I have barely promoted, and sit on the bench (not even below decks) while I get shards onsie-twosies from various recruit packs over the months.

Even if 99% of every server boycotted, there will be 1% of those players who will still just score something in them

It kinda seems like justice though... people who can't wait and want to rush into spending mats for event Leaderboard without even checking if the reward is worth the mats spent... seems like its scopley's way of punishing their foolishness...
Or exploiting their addiction...
I've not seen Jelly LBs yet but from what I've seen in discord seems like that is at a whole another level...
People spending 5 figures or more just for a ship

On my server 29 Jelly event is on a whole new level on a new earth in a new galaxy..
knotty birch
@neat owl yep 5 figures spends on average.
torn zodiac
Funny though since only one of the whales was ready for a Jelly on the actual first day of the jelly event a long time ago he won with 250k points.. but had hundreds of thousands of uncommon he can't even use if he tried
knotty birch
Which is just crazy and game limiting for loads of people due to the warp range it provides for dark space.
neat owl
I'm anyways grinding ent ( for free... have never spent a buck in this game) and probably would use it for a long time... killing jellys ๐
It would take me 4 months at least to get enough bps so I guess by that time they may change how jelly events work
Maybe I might just grind the jelly one day...
torn zodiac
The Xbox games my sons has are so cool and amazing graphics and story lines. But the Fortnite game is 99% of his time and has endless battle passes and skins to buy. Meanwhile Battlefront 2 or something was 60$.

Can someone explain why at same scoreboard are players ops lvl 35-40? 40lvl player have huge advantage, they are able to spend 4* materials and its almost 100% win to them! NOT FAIR! ๐
lavish elk
uncommon und rare mats have same points at g3 and 4... just Epic g4 give more points

But you get 4* mats in much larger quantities. Every event awards hundreds of 4* uncommons, every ship component upgrade costs thousands of 4* uncommons.

yes becorse it its the task to push the button ๐

Exactly, you can spend thousands and get more points @hard tartan
39lvl and under have no such opportunity
even with that button @lavish elk

i think they speculate on the longer Build and Research time, and think lower level can do more to compensate...

Amazing bs
40lvl players should be in higher scoring tier with others 40lvl+ players
hard tartan
For reference, a level 40 player, todays swarm events give 80x 4* rare and 236x 4* uncommon. It's going to be difficult for a level 39 player to compete with this income.

Its same like 39lvl player with 5 docks have HUGE advantage in latinium rush event

but less peaople willl pay.. so they will stay at 5 level ,, but they should change the level range like ur example 21-24 25-29 30-34 35-39 40-44 45-49 lvl 50 banned for cheating xD

@lavish elk who paid will pay anyway..

Boy of boy isn't it expensive to raid this am. Hard finding waek players with no research and lots of rss to raid gee.
dapper drum
just smack the base with warships until they stop taking damage
then send in the surveys, not scopely fault you can't adapt and overcome their features
meager galleon
Pretty sure itโs not a feature ๐
dapper drum
everything is a feature when it comes to scopely
game is bug free
just has alot of extra features
dapper drum
yes and eventually the auto repair hull is 0 after enough hits
then you send in the surveys
proven quiver
So what happened to the recruit Burnham event yesterday? Been saving shards for it & nothing mentioned by Scopely about it. Instead we got a swarm event?
dapper drum
it was there
still is
also shards has nothing to do with it
its all about spending g3 uncommon/rare and g4 uncommon/rare/epic
and shards are also what you get when you are recruiting an officer not what you save or spend
proven quiver
Okay Discovery recruit tokens... I was expecting Report to the Bridge, not a player ranked event.
smoky cosmos
<@&509691205798592532> when is the auto repair bug solved???????
cloud grail
Soon โข๏ธ
delicate moth
No update yet I'm afraid
south arrow
Will be on next emergency maintenance looks like a weekly event now ๐คฃ
knotty birch
Pays out pretty well.
devout holly
@proven quiver that event starts today
proven quiver
Thank you @devout holly
astral rune
For God's sake please stop those stupid-minute events!
I work in the hospital, I help people in emergencies! and i can't do these stupid events. Please change that!!!
cloud grail
Seems Discovery Arc schedule is not pinned anyone got it?

i don't think that's still accurate, better reading the jumbo tron post in your station
primal cairn
Do we have too. ๐
meager galleon
Better than not having it there
cloud grail
if it had a one click link to Customer Support that jumbo tron might become useful, until then the Mods and CCs are still the most reliable and responsive support arm of Scopely
and y'all arent even employees. so Thanks for the hard work.
meager galleon
Thatโs nice! But CS still does good work too
From our own experience with CS behind scenes they still work hard
cloud grail
When the Devs dig them out of the sub sub sub basement maybe i'll change my mind sir. 8 clicks to reach em and they dont even rate as worthy of notifications when they reply.
meager galleon
I get a pop up at top of my screen on login when I get a response off a ticket
dire veldt
i must have purchased prime notifications....
cloud grail
That is indeed good news. I have never seen any of that in my 2 years playing here.
dire veldt
i got it immediately after a reinstall, it was a 3 week old reply ๐
cloud grail
lmao
I was lagging so terrible about a month ago that I reset my phone... and never reinstalled discord just the game on the phone. Had Marginal improvement.
I still have to grind with 2 ships to avoid stuck ships in combat
neat perch
What was โreport to the bridgeโ event again?
dire veldt
disco officer recruit
shrewd knot
Anyone else think the anomalies would be better if it was an hourly cooldown you can start when you have time? Would reduce the lag, make it more reasonable for those who can't login at the top of the hour?
granite zenith
@shrewd knot that kinda sounds like feedback we passed along in our Dear scopely video... check it out and see if you agree

Lol, got my favourite event again โRetrieving.....โ ๐คฃ๐คฃ
dense lantern
GREAT, an hour long event that i have no idea how to score in,........ what am i supposed to be retrieving?
<@&509691205798592532> ?
dire veldt
Restart and see does it fix it...
dense lantern
I did, and i cleared localisation
Still just retrieving, and now i have 55mins to retrieve what ever it is
vague narwhal
Restart doesn't help
dense lantern
I feel another compensation chest comming ...
dire veldt
dense lantern
Scopley with compensation, darmok with arms wide

While sticking a pinky finger in each ear and spinning around anti clockwise +9000 pts
gritty brook
prime oar
same issue on server eu-140
dapper drum
@gritty brook looks like you did something to got you points
just do that again and you might get some free rewards from a ghost event
granite zenith
i never got the retrieveing event... i feel left out
gritty brook
@dapper drum we found killing ships do that, we're still playing blind.
turbid ivy
Hour long event... just showed up displaying only half an hour left. Not able to load what I have to do for this event. I feel another compensation coming.......
vivid raven
S155 EU. Can't see what needs doing also. Get to any system and its so full the lag doesnt allow you to target any hostiles. USELESS.
Eu s155 retrieving.. wotsits?
white lotus
Here too
No chance of participating in this ๐
EU133
Some of my alliance obviously can though... Very mysterious
mental yoke
I donโt even have that event showing.

pseudo rover
@vivid hearth You can't swear here, not even in images.
tribal elbow
ornate furnace
Great another swarm event! Come on faction hunt would have been great or even a refinery bonus event.
dense lantern
Might be nice if they could fix the event before running it for a 2nd time
pseudo rover
The event is running once more for EU because of the retrieving issues.
knotty birch
Retrieving event is cool but doesnโt pay out as much or as regularly as the Emergency Maintenance event.
stuck portal
And again and again and again at this rate, mine is still saying retrieving
silent horizon
Same
pseudo rover
Make your way to any system with Mycelium and mine/destroy hostiles.
vague yarrow
Is that the new event name โretrieving...โ?๐๐๐
stable hamlet
It's a guess what points you get for killing swarms event
nova valley
the bigger ones you can kill the better.....
winged tulip
Why run an event again before you've fixed any issues though >.<
New event is retrieving just like the old one was retrieving, and if you wanted restarts or caches cleared, then doing it while a limited time grind is active is just a baldrick level cunning plan.
winged tulip
I could kill stuff for points in the retrieving event, or fix it in time for the event to end.. hard choice!
dapper drum
fix it of course
what other logical choice is there
atleast you will know what it was about and not score blindly and end up hating it
winged tulip
Hire competent devs? Slap some common sense into the events team?
dapper drum
that is our fault
we have not spent enough for scopely to hire competent developers
99.95% profit margin means we have to really spend to make that 0.05% worth something in return
