No one except whales

@meager galleon more options in the discovery refinery let me refine it to spore drives, reduce cool down to 5hrs instead of 6k every 24hrs. Otherwise its a pointless addition to the game and will collect dust/not be minded hostiles and armadas wont be attacked outside of an arc/event

How out of touch with players :( Ops 40 has to go to a warp 120 system for bonus points in the flash event

if you want to win in your bracket you best be ready to spend

Agreed there, anamolous was just painful
dapper drum
otherwise no need for bonus system

If what I saw about last flash event is typical, they aren't working well. Only 5 players scored at all in my bracket which had rewards up to 400 places!

@frail anvil is painful they haven't removed them we will still need them for the spore drives

the reworked flash events aren't that bad once you understand that the 5 day solo leader board is a failure and you only need to kill 1 Hostile in any one system 6 time a day to get your refinery stuff. on my server killing 1 hostiles is sufficient for a silver badge (on most brackets)

Btw, a mechanic to help us find missing missions would be helpful. One of my friends has done 30 more missions than me...i have no idea where to find them. Clicking on every single system is not reasonable

What is your suggestion exactly regarding SLB? All I’ve seen @Mossad is a complaint you can’t compete in it because of time?
@Kαυƚισɳ
-
we dont like burst events where you need to log in every hour at a specific time. People have real life commitments...this is a game. A youtuber posted: each person gets X amount of tokens per day
From their base they can activate the token and start their own individual burst...when they can play. -
we dont like cluster where everyone is on top of each other. If you MUST do burst, add more spawn points and more critical systems. Or just dump those.
-
we dont like 8 to 10 events per day. I am in number 1 pve alliance (read: we take every single event unless its p2p and some team drops a ton of money). Dailies plus 1, MAYBE 2 (if short) events per day is fine. Every hour or on a specific time slot sucks.
The Strength In Numbers is unique. Half my team couldnt play cause they are not all home at the scopely set time
Hope that helps. Oh, and i am #1 in this event and was #1 in pvp event. Not gonna do this more. I just cant play every hour for 24 hours

I would add my 2 bits about how bad a time specific event is, but I'm too distracted with the game being out of synq, game crashes, watching my ship fight a hostile which is at the other end of a system and looking at about 25 'special gifts' for 134.99 buying any 1 of which would simply be a drop in the bucket of a bottomless pit

Is it normal that the „Distinguished Service - SLB“ is 5 days long?
shrewd totem
@viral sail oh I wouldnt go for SLB for sure. That will be very painful but for solo milestone it is easy if you time it

guys... the slb was never meant to be essential... its optional... for those who want to continue...
you guys are upset over avatars... AVATARS
abstract gate
@granite zenith scopely made them a sought after commodity lol
viral sail
I have the time to play - in fact, I have done every hourly event last arc while I was awake (about 14 per day while they were running) to help my alliance get the alliance milestone. This time, I quit after 3 runs.
granite zenith
well i guess its a good thing they removed the alliance milestones
its all solo... thus all OPTIONAL
viral sail
Yes, but Scopely's goal is for people to actually play their game, not go look for other forms of entertainment
As I said before, not amount of rewards is worth this level of aggravation. I made a few suggestions for changes that would salvage this event - all code that Scopely already ran in the past arc
granite zenith
Is it normal that the „Distinguished Service - SLB“ is 5 days long?
@restive inlet yes... it will run each week as an optional leaderboard.. along with the burst events
you can do the minimum and complete the essestial events
OR
do more and compete in the solo leaderboard
restive inlet
The calendar shows only 2 days 🤷♀️
viral sail
2, plus 1 of rest, plus another 2 = 5
plucky ermine
@granite zenith yes I have to agree. the weekly SLB is bonus. However presenting those Uncommon rewards just in front of your nose pushes ppl to do all of the hourly events. If they would scratch it or transform it into AMS like Roby - Scopely suggested early this would take out so much pressure
granite zenith
each burst event runs as a 5 day stretch
2 on 1 off 2 on
SLB covering all 5
also
burst events are broken into 4 segments daily
5 Solo 1 alliance... repeated in a 24hr period
restive inlet
Next question: the description says that there will be 20x 15 minutes flash events a day. Does someone know where are the 4 hours break?
granite zenith
read above
copper flicker
range for the current hourly event to the system, is 120, my max range is 65
yes i know it is for 'bonus' points, can do in any of the new systems, but, really, 120?
granite zenith
range for the current hourly event to the system, is 120, my max range is 65
@copper flicker then dont use that critical system... even the whales get their bonus chances 🤣
viral sail
I much prefer the pay-to-win leaderboards. I can look at them, recognize them for what they are, and move on. This SLB was a good concept, but not thought through for players on busy/active servers. A few tweaks could salvage it.
I say it again: Scopely should do the same they did in the first week of arc 1 - pull the event, tweak it to make it better based on the community feedback, and release it again next week.
They got so much positive feedback when they did the right thing last time. Why not do it again?
plucky ermine
Also: They should limit the amount of trophies one player can acquire per day to 12 or 8. This wouldn't encourage anyone to set the alarm-clock for nightly hostile hunts
copper flicker
funny how online gaming has evolved, 20 years ago a 'patch' or 'update', such as in EQ, would give the community all they needed to do, without a time limit other than whatever the pace they set for themselves. Of course there were no pay to advance options, just a monthly fee. Enter the 21stC and we got time specific events with a pay to advance model.....let that sink in.
granite zenith
that unfortunately was introduced with mobile gaming
viral sail
My suggestions to fix the hourly event:
- Go back to the fixed number of hostiles for the milestones (same as arc 1) - this will bring down the overcrowding, as people hit a few hostiles and leave
- Bring back the mycelium mining component from arc 1 (it provided a nice break from the monotony of killing hostiles)
- Change the SLB to be based on how many milestones the person completed (same way the ALB worked in arc 1) instead of number of hostiles.
fluid hull
This disco event is truly garbage
copper flicker
probably also had a lot to do with 3rd party sites 'selling' game items
that was a cash cow the 'business' could not ignore

Nothing will drive you away from this game faster than poorly thought out, boring game play that requires you to spend money just to make it playable

rough dust
Dear <@&509690795536941056>... Unfortunately I'm gonna have to bow out of this Arc unless they events get easier on us little guys.
I can kill the L22 Separatists, they give 65k points. I need 55 million to complete the event. That's a ton of kills per day in a non-aggro fashion, really not feasible when you have a full-time job and a family that actually wants your attention. Suicide by boss was the only way I can make a dent, and it's not much of one at all.
Hopefully this Arc gets easier. I'd like to earn at least 1 BP point. That's my current goal.... A single point....

Not enough nodes... players are not fighting other players for the nodes... meaning the higher level players are killing off any chance for the lower players to get points for killing the Klingon ships

@rough dust Do separatist bosses. I completed the event in 1 run with my Stella.
If you cannot kill a boss, get a higher level player in your alliance damage their shield and suicide your ship against it. I did that for the lower levels in my alliance
They completed in 4-5 runs
serene pollen
points for damage lol
viral sail
Yes
rough dust
@rough dust Do separatist bosses. I completed the event in 1 run with my Stella.
@viral sail I don't have a Stella. My best ship is a 327k Vahklas with Pike/Moreau/T'Laan. My Suicide missions consist of loading an Envoy with Nero's Crew to get burning going. Then it's only an 18-minute repair. But that would take hours for me to finish. No thanks.

I think rushing from 23 to 28 is a bit too big of a leap. When I did the rush to 28, I went from 25 to 28, so I had a Kumari to hold me over until I built the Centurion

Not doing any of the events. Was able to finish separatist yesterday but went thru speed up like crazy. Who in their right mind sat at home and said to themselves, I think 55 million points will be needed and will take you all day to complete and be very costly. Yep, gonna do that. I need that new Lamborghini, mine is a year old. Enter the mind of a scopley event engineer lol

i was rank 1 in that SLB then other players claimed their gold trophies and I was pushed back to rank 15

this is another huge oversight with that SLB
it is almost guaranteed that you will have players tied for rank 1 with the same amount of pts

quaint pecan
People: These flash events suck. Disco sucks
Scopely: We will improve disco by letting it warp your other ships. We will then make flash events so you can use your disco to warp your other ship to the flash events. Problem solved?
what will happen if 10 people tie for first? Scopely will take the 1st place reward, divide it 10 ways, and give that out. No one gets 2nd-10th rewards.

We're not all experiencing the same. Push come to shove, there will always be a divide on what events are and aren't liked by some.

@pseudo rover I appreciate the feedback. I know that scope is in the business of making money, but as events pile on top of events pile on top of events these are becoming Time bandits.

@languid yoke Battlepass points are more easily obtained this Arc so you can rest assured if you decide to opt-out of certain events. Upcoming events have also been organized in such a fashion that on occasions you'll be able to score points in multiple events for doing the same thing, which is essentially what we've been forwarding we want.

I still say this event is bs.. either you waste mats on repairs after suicide runs, or you kill 100 lvl 22s almost 8mil for first battle pass
Worst event yet by scopley
radiant marten
List of new systems please, just the list & only the list of systems for these events (for bookmarking 🙏😇) so I can share on my alliance disc, sooo many requests please please please🙏😇

It's in the ingame News channel @radiant marten

This even is so much bullshit. Not a way to get anywhere unless you pay in. What a shit show. It now a pay to play game

According to the dev who graced us with his presence, so he could "hear" our pleas...nothing is wrong. Event is great. It can only be a grindfest or p2w.
He was hostile and his being here was pointless for several reasons
- the dev doesnt need our player feedback, he needs to fix bugs. And that alone should keep him employed for the next 3 to 5 PIs, easy
- we need someone who is a content designer (not youtuber, i mean someone who comes up with ideas for the game)
- he didnt respond to our inquiries, he was hostile and combative.
- he thinks people like what they released. Sure tens of thousands of players, some are bound to like it. I bet if they did a poll and published the data (all of it) then the data would show a poor score
- no change willl be made to this event structure. So, if you wanna rank top 3, expect to play every single hour for 5 days.
As i said before, scopely needs the following 3 metrics and this is what they care about
- topline revenue
- online time
- clicks
The above 3 are not bad...in fact, they are critical so they can stay in business and show CBS how good they are doing for the star trek brand (not really)
What they completely lack is customer satisfaction and honest ear. We know this because we have been asking for the same thing for 2 years
- less bugs
- better customer support
- more in depth content and play, not this shallow nonsense
And since they will never do that, then this game will never be a legend like WoW, COD, CS, Final Fantasy, etc.
And if someone asks "why do you still play". Easy: i love the people in the alliance i made. they are my friends and losing that connection would suck. If we all agreed to go to a new game, id uninstall this one in a second
undone stag
5 day leaderboard is kinda of a joke for sure
whole geyser
Need more than 3 systems open....causing way to many conflicts
slim aurora
Everyone said this guys, ad nausem (i know you didnt read miles of text). Scope dev was here for 10 mins and left. Nothing will change
latent steppe
True. On what scopley about. Money and all. The main reason ppl still stay is the friendship in alliances and general chat. If a better game like this is out I would drop this faster than a baby shit dipar

Best joke of the year for level39 player 🤣

Another craptacular event. 10 ships trying to jump one spawn node.

<@&509691205798592532> this event is garbage I have not been able to hit one red. Not enough to hit and it won't even let me select targets for the critical systems.
It acts as though all reds are just visual glitches for me in the critical systems.
inland hamlet
Did you update in store?
lethal marsh
Yes the targetting is garbage. Just a bunch of us looking like idiots trying to target a ship most can't target. Another clusterfrack
hexed lark
Yes I updated.

Try being a low power ops 40 after they changed content drops. I have RED ops 41 missions i wont be completing for some time
From the last drop
Made it easy to spend zero on this one

For the target bug. Stop your ship from moving then try. It normally works for me.
scarlet kettle
With this entire disco fiasco, it feels like Scopely is intentionally trying to kill the game. The 'randomly events could be cool if it didn't require more screen time and the battlepass is giving nothing. Separatist hunt is just a rss and speed up waste to get people to buy packs (the majority of which now cost 99.99, so much for micro transacrions). They say they listen to us but it seems clear they are trying to kill the game
undone cargo
Scopely is out of touch. I am near ready to show them the goodbye sign. 3 event locations pop for me and 2 aren't even within warp range. Hostiles are so strong it is nothing more than a kamikaze run.
lunar current
💩
pale cobalt
I still feel the discovery is a waste of time upgrading yes they fixed the limited warp and gave it a summoning feature all be it by yet even more research but it's still a weak ship that's no good for anything, summoning sounds great but by the time you unlock it seems kinda pointless
storm warren
pale cobalt
If these flash events become part of the norm after the discovery content event has ended, I will end up quitting the game
cinder dew
@modern estuary I can’t get jellyfish bps, franklin bps or northstar bps for free. They are event ships. Hard to do events if they don’t come around
modern estuary
@cinder dew yes you can you just have to wait for the event
@twilit imp maybe its time for those events for the below ops 20 players
cinder dew
Been playing for over 6 months. Haven’t seen it yet
robust vapor
@cinder dew I believe the USS jellyfish event is repeating, but only up to level 18. The others you need to wait for event stores and collect the blueprints that way (typically half a set per event store, at the moment they're coming every 3rd arc in these battlepass events).
pale cobalt
The baby Jelly I haven't seen run in a long time I have a 2nd account sitting at level 14 and no event for the jelly in the past 4months but you get the jellyfish from the special event stores up to ops 18
abstract gate
Its a struggle to do 24 hour swarm event most of the time becuase most active players on ther server are cramped in 2 lvl 32 systems. What on earth is $copely is thinking cramping all the players into 3 systems for a 15 minutes event?
Unless $copely is thinking that most players will give up on the event and just buy packs to upgrade their USS Discovery
topaz crane
@abstract gateThatz exactly what they want🤑 🤑
inland hamlet
6 points in any 24 events with max points per day being 72, but you only need 6. And that is hard?
And any anom system gives points
Plus events are lvl dependent and points in flash events are tired by ops lvl
If you play 2grs a day during peak time only no wonder it's hard
fiery scarab
The interface on the flash events on IoS 14.0.1 is really bad. I was able to select a hostile to attack only one out of 5 times and even then it was a stretch at max screen blowup. Not fun at all. 12 min of frustration trying to get trophies with two ships in one system. Needs to be fixed. Never had this problem before.
ember walrus
Not much better on android
inland mulch
The events aren't hard just avoid the bonus system and kill one ship and go home. The discovery is pointless and the event is not fun. It's just one more go to X system and kill reds event. The rewards are just basically parts to upgrade a ship that has no point in this game.
orchid halo
pale cobalt
No it's not
remote moat
So lvl 22 separatists give 43k points towards an event that maxed at 50MM+
Does scopely expect me to kill 1276 hostiles in 24 hours?
The separatist hunt event
pale cobalt
It's damage dealt not kill
remote moat
Yes and the max damage I seem to be able to do in the 22s works out to 43k points
I can't tank the lvl 26 bosses
pale cobalt
Attack the bosses
remote moat
So suiciding on them is an exercise in frustration
granite zenith
🍿
hexed lark
Attack bosses with envoy and burning crew if you are lower level.
Cheapest way to do it.
pale basin
I did the separatists event yesterday. I killed 15 of my ships. Spent 500 lat and 30-30 minute repair speeds. I don't understand why a level 24 player goes in, kills 1-2 ships and is done with the event. Or a level 30 player goes in kills 3 bosses and is done.
remote moat
but effective and a valuable teaching exercise
@pale wind TF is there to learn on this one?
granite zenith
not sure that a fortunate can get there
pale cobalt
It's 8 boss kills for me
granite zenith
🤷♂️
pale cobalt
4 was proven earlier with my SS 😂
remote moat
learning 1. not every event is easy. 2. its not always about the kill. 3. crew crew crew
@pale wind I'm keenly aware it's a DMG dealt event. I say kill because I'm maxing the 22s and don't want to burn repair boosts chasing the bosses.
granite zenith
🤷♂️ then kill 1276 of them
remote moat
🤷♂️ then kill 1276 of them
@granite zenith fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu
remote moat
Lol
granite zenith
you asked how it was done... it was answered...
if you choose not to listen to the people who burnt through those same speedups and same actions... and pioneered the way to beat the event... thats your option
remote moat
No disrespect intended in the slightest
granite zenith
oh im not disrespected... after all its a game... and entertainment 🤷♂️
remote moat
I just don't want you to think I'm cursing at you.
granite zenith

But thanks for the thoughts on using miners

Over/Under on this 💩 event being hotfixed into multiple 1 or 2 day LBs, rather than a 4day slog?
wheat tinsel
This new event is quite extenuating for the primes
Is a 4 days events lat is okey but should give more unc
rigid lichen
So my flash event is in warp 120??? Seriously Scopely
granite zenith
actually the event is in all of the listed systems... the bonus system might be in warp 120
🤷♂️
granite zenith
ok... read the event... KILL HOSTILES IN ANY OF THE SYSTEMS
bonus for 2
Bonus for 2 captains
rigid lichen
Yeah.. they need to make flags for all the systems and blue for critical.. not like they are easy to find .. and Making the critical systems where probably less then 1% of the players can reach is nuts..
granite zenith
yeah that suggestion was passed up
rigid lichen
The galaxy map is a mess now with all the new systems ..
Scopely need to fix existing game mechanics instead adding new stuff al the time.. eg a way to convert the 100k+ of G2 material we keep getting.. the fact that the elite monthly pack still gives G2 is a joke ..
And all the vahklas/Horizon bp we all have and keep getting
New events are still just the same gameplay with new clothes .. hit red triangles and sit on nodes .. what about a “race across the galaxy” event or Pvp armadas or proper PVP events where the event systems equalises ship power and its all based on crew choice and battle triangle
Spice it up Scopely.. not like you’re not making enough money🤷🏾♂️
granite dragon
👆
granite zenith
They gave you a way to convert that... aka the scrapyard
rigid lichen
Scrapyard is not a way to convert it properly when you have to spend ship xp and lat to tier them up to a lvl they start to give G3.. at best a poorly designed system that only drains more resources then it gives
pseudo rover
You can grind for Ship EXP, you can wait for Tier Up timer.
viscid sinew
Wait for tier up and block a much more valuable ship slot?
Tiering up should be in the shipyard, not the dock
rigid lichen
Ah.. so to convert 1 maxed Hoirzon will take me approximately how much rss and xp to max ?
And how long to grind to max that horizon
granite zenith
Tiering up should be in the shipyard, not the dock
@viscid sinew that i can agree with
ashen wharf
Shipyard was for whales and still is
granite zenith
i wouldnt do a horizon... im talking g2
when you are 40+ is when you will wanna scrap the g3
cause g3 is tight after 40
ashen wharf
its not for f2p
pseudo rover
A lot. The path of the free is one of persistence for sure but it can be done. It's up to you to see if it is worth one. One of my allies is tiering/leveling Envoys non-stop because they're particularly beneficial according to him.
ashen wharf
or slight spenders
rigid lichen
Then to convert all the excess Horizon Bp I have to G3 through this natural process would take over a year I believe.. like I said ..poorly designed at best
granite zenith
🤷♂️ i say tomato... you say crap.. still the same mechanic
dense lantern
When will we be getting rewards back in the events?
pseudo rover
Scrapyard isn't great for all ships by a long shot, for sure. And we're still pushing for something that more directly addresses the excess blueprints we all have. But our way is one of many small victories, piece by piece over a long stretch of time. We can't have it all right now unfortunately.
rigid lichen
Why not?
pale cobalt
I build and scrap Turas's constantly for the gas because building's research and B'Rel need so much of the stuff
ashen wharf
They could have fixed blue print drops a year ago
granite zenith
oooh i can do a turas... thanks for the reminder 😉
ashen wharf
Yet you still get kumaris from 46s lol
rigid lichen
They have given us so much new content that has sat dead, swarm, Borg etc.. instead they should be fixing the old issues from last year
Instead of giving us more new content that will probably last not much longer after the arcs are finished ..
ashen wharf
And im probably never going to build the 38 kumaris i can currently build
because the return isnt worth it
rigid lichen
Prime example of dead content Borg armada space
ashen wharf
I dont want that back either
rigid lichen
Neither do I😂
ashen wharf
Because if it does come back they will just make a vidar 2.0 for it
rigid lichen
But my point being .. fix the core issues instead creating new content to cover
Make the game make sense .. not hard and not like they haven’t been told numerous times
ashen wharf
That will take even more crystal from my miners i still need to progress lol
All i want is no more timers in refinery and the game will be good as gold
Oh and faction store of course
Let me grind
rigid lichen
It's all designed to make you pay.. Simple.. I understand this but at least fix the core issues that have been voiced many times
ashen wharf
They honestly would make more money that way
rigid lichen
I know.. But they don't seem to understand that
The amount of people I have turned away from the game shows how van things are... Knowing what I know now about the game I would have turned myself away 😂
ashen wharf
Yeah i dont get it huge missed oppurtunity trying to use the "they will get aggrevated from timers and just pay" thought process
Cuz it turns more people away than it does to keep people
rigid lichen
Yup
ember walrus
No one will ever do the sporemadas outside these events
rigid lichen
Or put in a mechanism that allows you to grind the timers down
rigid lichen
No last part would be paying more G3 then you get form the reifne😂
Similar theory to this Scrapyard conversion thingamijig..
Buidling and sracpping multiple Turas when you need 4500 G3 gas for your Brel cargo is a joke 😂
ashen wharf
Going back down to kill another billion of 25 ships for envoy bps to build an envoy and max to then... scrap yeah no thx
rigid lichen
And don't forget the repair bill
ashen wharf
They wonder why people make bots for these kind of games
Lol
Aint nobody got time for all that
I dont hate people who bot at all they are smart
rigid lichen
Anyway rant over.. The way some people talk here makes out that we should be grateful for the scraps (crapyard) they give us. Just make the game make sense. Plenty of other games I play seem to get this.. I think they forget that Without us Scopely don't exist.. Everyone stops playing no money, no jobs. Anyway I'm from the school that customer satisfaction is key.. Even now I only still play cos of the people.. Not the game anymore
Just the last 2 months I have seen so many long term players leave the game
More then ever before
pseudo rover
For some ships, the Scrapyard can have a positive return of investment. Definitely not all but there's enough information out there that lets you see which is which. It's a start but it's mopping with the faucet open. Priority should be going to the loot that hostiles drop and changing that in such a way that preferably - blueprints don't drop anymore at some point and instead something of immediate use does.
In particular, the way the Scrapyard allows you to obtain 4-star materials for your Lvl26 Ships is commendable. It's a path to prime research that previously wasn't available.
pseudo rover
Pretty much. Except Envoys again I was told.
pale cobalt
What would be good would be a sort of store where you can trade in your unwanted blueprints and/or materials for some sort of currency that you can then spend on stuff you actually want/need
pseudo rover
I don't believe that's the case Ichibe. Right now, hostiles are dropping BPs in mass. Having a positive ROI for all of them (right now) would be a huge impact on player progression. Everybody suddenly being at OPS39 is no way to go. Additionally, there's the players with hundreds/thousands/more already in their inventory. I can imagine that fact being a massive thorn in their butts so to speak.
pale cobalt
or better still being able to trade all the stuff in items that has no use anymore
pseudo rover
100% CaptNEMO. Bypass the Scrapyard for ships pre-faction and just let people choose what to exchange them to, however bad the ratio might be. I'll be happy to be rid of them.
Same goes for some other clutter items in my inventory...
shell drum
Is there a reason why the battle pass lvl 11 gives more uncommon crystals and rare crystals to the "free" and to the "elite" ... it sounds less... elite...
pseudo rover
I wouldn't raise that as an issue if you're saying the free path is offering too much uncommon crystal in a way 😛
pale cobalt
Free route I believe always gave more in materials at certain milestones and elite just gives a little extra to those who pay
neat owl
Prime example of dead content Borg armada space
@rigid lichen I'd love getting that back if the loot was changed to IND credits or something valuable
shell drum
eh my impression was free gave you materials but elite is like a mini-monthly bonus
I mean since they are taking away the event rewards --- it would only make sense to make elite always more than free... YMMV
rigid lichen
They also need to change the battle pass so Ore is not the last big reward on the path for G3.. Ore is what everyone needs the least of.. I dont even refine or mine ore anymore I have so much unc G3 of it
shell drum
+1
ashen wharf
Nearlly all the events give ore barely any give crystal lol
pale cobalt
Depends on the faction and what ships someone has I need tons of ore
rigid lichen
But for base, research and faction miners yoh need crys.. Crys is the most needed
shell drum
there is literally an universal agreement that everybody needs crystals (faction miners)
pale cobalt
Crystal is the biggest roadblock
pale cobalt
I have quite a few researches requiring large amounts of ore at the moment
But Crystal is the worst by far especially when it comes to upgrading the shipyard
rigid lichen
Trust me nowhere near as much as crys or gas
They also need to bundle borg probes and swarm into a joint daily.. My Franklin is maxed and I have no use for the 6mil FM I have but I still have dailies for swarm.. At least with borg probes you can use the store
pale cobalt
I'm sure there was talk about borg being added to dailies at some point during borg arc 2 and nothing ever came of it so I'm guessing they decided against that
astral forum
Players after few days of flashing event
shrewd totem
not me,I need more ore!

Once I have installed the last warp engine upgrade on my Horizon my biggest roadblock will be gas but still need tons of Ore for my researches lol

well my fac miners are at the lvl I want them to but not my Augur
so I need ore 🤷♂️

I have all 3 faction miners and I'm in no rush to upgrade them any further but I will max them when I'm near to ops 39 ready for dark space mining
wraith stump
What utter tosh, putting up a post about critical systems, and using others. You cannot get gold in those other systems. You absolute bunch of morons. You steal lat on Monday, now this 💩 shower. 🖕
astral forum
I have all 3 faction miners and I'm in no rush to upgrade them any further but I will max them when I'm near to ops 39 ready for dark space mining
@pale cobalt If you have W65 miners then you are ready or W75 any ship for relocation
pseudo rover
@wraith stump Lots of users are reporting that thanks to circumventing the competition, they are still able to achieve gold or even more easily as opposed to them. The Critical Captain bonus works in any system, not just the Critical ones.
wraith stump
Rubbish
inner cave
@wraith stump i was getting silver in non crit systems
Gold depending on player base of sever is possible
wraith stump
I was getting gold easily before when event kicked off, and silver using a non critical system. Like i said, the event is 💩
Spawn rate is rubbish, so everyone sits on top of each other and fastest reaction wins. Then you start killing other ships, or they kill you. Utter cluster feck.
eager flint
Just had a go at the event, how disappointing 😞 had so much lag it was almost unplayable and got booted out of the game 3 times but did eventually manage to kill 1 hostile. What a waste of time😤
inner cave
Yeah got that as well. But late at night was also good got a few golds to pull me higher in lb which I will loose gain when I goto work later 😂
Gold is probably doable camping 2 spawn points in non crit system
shrewd totem
nah can be obtained by killing a dozen hostiles in non crit with non crit cap if you know when your server sleeps
abstract gate
To me the last Disco event was bad, I don't even know how to call this one, yet. 😔😒
What do you guys think? Reading the net I feel I'm not alone with this opinion.
I was getting gold easily before when event kicked off, and silver using a non critical system. Like i said, the event is 💩
@wraith stump Think so too. Scopely really screwed up this one. A new low 👎
delicate moth
I managed to score a gold using non crit crew in a non crit system - just!
white garden
I didn't get anywhere near gold on my server in a non crit system. In a crit system, it's guaranteed gold if I'm already there and can get the hostiles before mad rush. Scopely should just own up and admit they f**ked it and make more of the systems crit.
glossy fog
I got 8th yesterday in non crit system and non crit captain, at about 9 pm last night. Definitely possible
white garden
Depends on the server, how many points for 8th?
glossy fog
Good thing about that, I finished the solo event (not leaderboard) so I have not had to do any since🤣
About 65m
I am ops 33
white garden
Yeah no chance for me. I'm 31 and got 33m points which put me at 53rd
glossy fog
Tbh, it is fairly easy to get silver, so it can be done in three goes through the day
Unless you go for leaderboard
wraith stump
@abstract gate I killed more ships, scored less.
white garden
The leaderboard has better rewards but the stress of it running for 5 days is too much
glossy fog
Exactly cannot be bothered
wraith stump
Easier to do it in 2 goes....
slate crest
I cant be the only player having trouble defeating mud at the end of event misssions...what are they gonna do about it? 6.5m really
humble siren
ok, this flash event is silly. It comes down to camping at the respawn points, and who has the least lag gets the kill
now im lucky im in speedy area, people we have from SA on our server are just fked.
vital drum
I quite like it, but am in a quiet server. Only grouch is logging on every hour
granite wadi
Am I missing something or do we not know when the alliance event is?
abstract gate
The leaderboard for the service event is single best, but u need to obtain medals from ally events, like battle at binary stars. That’s weird.
So if you are really unlucky just the battle events will pop up and I get no or less medals, or are the events always changing each hour and not random?
Nevertheless the event isn’t really SB since you get medals from ally events...
outer cobalt
4 days of these flash events really? The pop up when you start the game only shows 2 days of this painful grind
abstract gate
Taking a break, will check back on the weekend. Never thought this would happen 😒👎
granite wadi
You only need to do a couple per day unless you are chasing the leaderboard. I think this is great personally. You cant buy the win - you have to grind it.
earnest hornet
4 days of these flash events really? The pop up when you start the game only shows 2 days of this painful grind
@outer cobalt
The LB event is 5 days, but it’s only 2 days flash, then a 1 day gap, the 2 days. Again, for each 5 day set.
@white garden it’s not 5 days,
And it’s not painful grind, ONLY if you want to try for leaderboard but that would be a grind anyway. You only need to do it 2 or 3 times in a day to get your solo milestone,
It’s super easy, way easier then the last months arc,
So if you are really unlucky just the battle events will pop up and I get no or less medals, or are the events always changing each hour and not random?
@abstract gate they don’t change, the BONUS systems do change and they are flagged, but depending on your level tells you what you need to be hitting, if you’re 30-38 you need to be in the NEW systems killing the Klingon invader hostiles, and any of them count for points,
So you have 5 solo LB Vulcan Hello, then 1 alliance Battle of the Binary Stars. and that continues through the day, 5:1
abstract gate
So the Battle binary event is an ally event and it counts to the Single leaderboard. That’s what confuses me a bit
But you are right, it’s easier to get single reward this arc than last arc
earnest hornet
Yes both those count if you get a medal towards your solo Distinguished Service solo LB.
abstract gate
So 9:30 utc was Battle, the Next 5 then are vulcan?
earnest hornet
So if you wanted to go for that LB, then yes do as many on the flash events as you want,
abstract gate
I can@live with that
earnest hornet
Yup, we just had the alliance one, so next five are solo, then 1 alliance, 👌
abstract gate
👍🏻
earnest hornet
Basically the 2 days starting at event reset it’s 5:1:5:1:5:1:5:1 reset 5:1:5:1:5:1:5:1 then a day break, the repeat
And so it means everyone get to opportunity to join and do it if they want too, or not, and just do the minimum to get their solo, also during the alliance one, all you need to do is kill 1 of the counting hostiles to get your alliance reward, if you don’t have time to do more.

@earnest hornet my opinion but running 4 day long events is rubbish... again this gals is becoming work if you want to compete in events.. and comparatively, the rewards are, apart from the avatars, much like the daily time events, just badly put together I think..
earnest hornet
But it’s not 4 days one after the other, it 2 gap 2, and in reality if you aren’t going for the other LB it takes me 10-15 minutes to do my solo over the 2 event hours and im done. And I can leave it and do whatever else I want
zinc sun
Ummmm....
earnest hornet
And yea if you want to compete then yes that ones take time, just like EVERY other leaderboard event
zinc sun
Where is the target?
zinc sun
Well that was pretty clear
earnest hornet
😂😂 you’re welcome 😊😂
zinc sun
Thx!
dreamy fog
Does anyone know if summoning will work to a system for all ships, or are you still limited by the warp range of the ship?
For example my discovery is now w163, if I dump it in a w150 system can I move a w100 ship there?
smoky loom
Is anybody enjoying the bs bp event, I’m up for a challenge or enjoy the fun but this event is neithcofmthese. other than a case of flying to any spot and committing Suicide as you can’t kill them and spending loads of resources . That’s it I’ve found out scopley latest way for you to buy their resources
earnest hornet
You can warp any ship @dreamy fog
Doesn’t matter about warp range of the ship your warping
drifting geyser
To many players and not enough hostiles to kill
dreamy fog
Thanks @earnest hornet it’s been a burning question. Waste of money if the ships are still limited by warp range
Kind of interesting that it effectively kills g4
ancient cairn
@earnest hornet it's a game for players.. not players anymore...even mid range players suffer... it costs more to play any choice if event than the rewards give back.. look at it.. properly..ask any lv26-31.. bad mechanics
earnest hornet
So if you wanted to you could take your realta to dark space if you wanted too @dreamy fog 😂😂😂
dreamy fog
All I want is the w150 2.4m g4 nodes 🙂
earnest hornet
👌😂 so yes as long as you have unlocked dark space already, and can get there in your discovery then you can jump any other ship you want 😊👌
dreamy fog
Cool will burn a few packs then. You’re effectively getting a 2fer, as the dil is 600m in the spore drive pack at level 47
earnest hornet
Nice 👍🏼
😂
@earnest hornet it’s a game for players.. not players anymore...even mid range players suffer... it costs more to play any choice if event than the rewards give back.. look at it.. properly..ask any lv26-31.. bad mechanics
@ancient cairn I am a mid range player, and it’s not really that hard, yes takes some effort sometimes, but that’s the thing this arc has improved heaps compared to arc 1, and even the previous arcs, the battle pass is better, the events for it will be great to see some different ones now that they only need to organise Bp points,
ancient cairn
@zinc sun kill any hostile in the system
earnest hornet
It has been made a heap easier for these flash event for people to get the rewards with minimum effort, and then a way for those that want to chase the leaderboard to do that too.
ancient cairn
I disagree
earnest hornet
How so?
It’s not that hard to do what has been done so far.
The flash events, it took me 15 minutes over 2 round and my solo was done,
That’s it didn’t have to think about it anymore,
Even if I had to do 3 rounds would’ve only taken me no more the 20-25 minutes total time
I had work all day, so basically didn’t do any till a few hours ago after dinner, as that was the first time I could hope in game today.

earnest hornet
Haha 😆 maybe, depends on how many people you have competing in your bracket, 😂
long eagle
As usual very thoughtful of Scopely
earnest hornet
But pretty much if your in 1 of the 250 rank in your bracket you’ll get something
long eagle
Yeah but there is difference between been 1 and 250 don’t you think?
earnest hornet
For the Distinguished leaderboard, the flash one even if you kill one hostile each time you’ll get 1 medal,
Yes of course there is, and if you want better rewards the yes that takes effort, but just like EVERY other leaderboard event we have ever had.
So it’s no different, except this time your more likely to get something if your in the 250
ancient cairn
- The events, due to hampered, event linked progress of ship like disco means you have to spend rss like speedups to compete to get the rewards to progress.. it actually depletes speedup reserves or lat reserves, whatever you're using.. and the game doesnt drop, in chests or rewards enough, even with dailies, to replenish.. especially if you're single factioning.. math done on this.
- Again. Disco refinery is event linked... must do as scopely demands and compete often to progress ship... AND not saying duh... of course want to progress work at it.. but the nature of how events are structured are stupid.. plain and simple.. its geared to whales. Argue that how you want. Were having massive drop off due to the game becoming work... and where drop off is marginally avoided, apathy towards alot of the TIME demanding aspects.
- The bottom line of participation is cost.. go do a recon of what you had, and have now... and especially players out of 1st tier rankings... to everyone else, the cost is high, in time, rss, time, time and that translates to alliance stress.. apathy from players, or oh.. I dont know, REAL LIFE commitments means that the events demand coordination, as someone said earlier.. and that's impacting on game enjoyment..
There are many cool concepts and features.. but we are click bait since new ownership and the intense impact on systems, like crit systems, cool idea actually, but then bump up the buffer RAM or something to counter lag..
It doesnt pay the long term player, who is, yes, gathering to be able to progress, raiding to progress, to waste or divert essentials to events that demand unbalanced expenditure to reward at certain levels... its either a way to push for some servers to get critical players numbers to unlock the game, or spending.
- The spending on items lately is also poor value... consider this.. and it goes to your comment of choice of game play:
Your taking a trip to a certain destination, to do some shopping. The trip is a fair drive away, there are a few routes to take, toll road, scenic routes, etc. ..many of the arc related purchases are like stopping at every possible point and spending a bit of what you have allocated to your primary objective, but it seems essential at the time, snacks on the road... not a meal, they come quick and go quicker.. low nutritional value,
But
Since the trip is still in progress, it takes longer now to get to primary objectives, diverted low value spend gets in the way. Eventually, if you can handle the frustration of traffic and potholes, when you arrive, instead of investing the resources of your planned trip, you have a cup of coffee and head home..
its demotivating that arcs, lately, last and current, do less to improve the value of journey, and more to clutter it with billboards
long eagle
Well.... it’s ok to make some effort... no probs... but lots of people can’t be available every hour for 15 minutes due to sleep, job and other things.
If you want to compete.... it is simple you have to have no life... so simple as that.... that’s why this design is stupid
earnest hornet
It’s not stupid, yeah if you want to rank #1 then yea go for it for 24 hours, but you don’t have too.
ancient cairn
Sorry... that's a message meant more towards devs... not having a go at anyone
earnest hornet
The rewards are still reasonable and mid ranking too,
earnest hornet
And that’s fine if you don’t want to do it, don’t, simple as that, do the other event you can or want to to
For what event are you meaning?? If your lvl 21-29, you only have to kill the anomaly hostiles for the points, those are easy kills,
brazen portal
What other event? Do you even play this game?
earnest hornet
Dude I have played this game for 2.5 years,
The flash event you only have to do 2 or 3, out of the whole day to get your main rewards for it.
brazen portal
Tell me you're at least getting paid for this shill nonsense.
earnest hornet
The rest of you want to do the leaderboard then yea that will take effort, do it if you want or not do it, that’s entirely up to YOUR choice,
No I’m not getting paid.
I was at work all day, so these flash event had been running for 13 hours before I did any, I didn’t care much about the lb, only need the 6 points of the milestones, did it in 10 minutes x 2, the I was done, didn’t need to do it anymore, later I did the alliance one helping the alliance, I only able to do 1 of those, so what, we got 2nd rank allaince, easy.
And the flash event have still been running, I could do them if I wanted, but I have other dailies to finish so I’m doing those, because I can CHOOSE to, scopely isn’t telling me I HAVE to do every flash event, I could if I wanted to, but I don’t need to.
The leaderboard doesn’t do anything for the discovery, only the 6 point milestones, and yet I’ll still get rewards from the leaderboard
These have been great changes compared to the last arc.
No more HAVE. To make it to 5 each hour to complete the milestones, and even then I didn’t make it to all, but in the end, I didn’t worry about it, I did what I could, when I could,
The main stress people get is from the stress they put on themselves.
drifting bridge
Anyone else finding that this isnt the case?
Unless im reading this wrong...maybe i am. Hitting ships in Aletara shouldve given points?
jolly jewel
Scopely has screwed up once again, to select and attack the same hostile across half the system, no exaggeration along with 4 others trying the same is rubbish.
earnest hornet
Unless im reading this wrong...maybe i am. Hitting ships in Aletara shouldve given points?
@drifting bridge what level are you??
dapper drum
@jolly jewel dont' goto such a busy system
earnest hornet
You need to kill the new Klingon invaders in the new systems not the Anomaly aliens
drifting bridge
@earnest hornet lvl 33

@earnest hornet lvl 33
@drifting bridge

drifting bridge
Aletara
earnest hornet
Yup that’s them, they will give you points during the flash Vulcan events
Each hour
drifting bridge
Yeah but they didnt thats the thing. Slammed a brel with stammets as capt into one in a critical system which gave the points above
earnest hornet
The critical will give bonus points, those will give normal points, I go in there and kill in there too for the Vulcan event
drifting bridge
I hit 3 last event it shouldve given me points but didnt
ripe owl
I just want to say there events suck. Except the flash Vulcan Event. I mean lower to mid lvl players withoit upgraded faction ships are screwed.
jolly jewel
@dapper drum They all are!!!
earnest hornet
I just want to say there events suck. Except the flash Vulcan Event. I mean lower to mid lvl players withoit upgraded faction ships are screwed.
@ripe owl what event are you referring too?
It’s all dependant on what you are referring too, if you are meaning the separatists event, then yes I understand but there are ways to get the points you need, it’s about asking for help or ideas , instead of like dumping it as crap,
ripe owl
All this discovery 2 b.s. I've exhausted all my resource just trying to keep ships in play. I've had to let ships just get destroyed,fixed,and destroyed repeatedly just to reach tier 1 of one event. Stillnot sute what to do in the recruit events, ect.
drifting bridge
@pale wind that was from a hit in different 'critical' system, pike was in aletara
The first 3 hits from ship A shouldve scored points but didn't
earnest hornet
The recruit events are just spend materials, if you can or want to, but all of the event are optional depending on what you want and how you want to progress, read through them, can ask for help if you dont understand,
drifting bridge
@pale wind i had 0 till the kamikaze hit with ship D
Yep, just dont understand why ship A didnt score
dapper drum
lol not worth it to use such a poor crew
ripe owl
@earnest hornet I have used uc g3 and rare g3. I still jave no points. But, now I have no trit, di, or G3 ore. And a bunch of ships needing repaired. Its the overall fustration of the events and the fact there wasn't enough time to recover from the last BP event.
drifting bridge
So its a display/event error rather than a problem with the actual event then
earnest hornet

@ripe owl thats why unless you have heaps don’t go for those events, those are often high roller events, look at the events you can do, you don’t need to do all of them. Just do the ones that are more important for where you are at, and if it’s costing you too much adjust
drifting bridge
Would be easier if the event actually scored rather than saying 0 for 5 mins
@dapper drum thats precisely the issue, pike crew seemed to not be scoring and its a flash event so had to send other ship to a critical system in a hurry
Was a bonus for stammets as capt. Suicide run
wraith stump
At start of last burst event, the first couple kills did not record a score. This is just a rubbish event.
strong condor
it was first minute for me..
and it was already started in event
once i got point for the second kill but not the 3th..
teal nymph
Is it possible to get. Over 100M points on 1 burst event with only 8M player power?
abstract gate
these timed events are to facilitate the strongest in the game, they are not possible to do for the smallest level, for me the programmers are facilitating the strongest allies,
Why,,, why? Scopelly Change a game into a full Time Job for players???????
not to mention the time to move the ship, at level 38 it takes 8 minutes, and you don't have time to make it hostile to the people there
If they lost his brains...Call Marvin Minsky for a artifactual brain
pseudo rover
Required time investment for this battlepass has been reduced by roughly 15%. For the burst events, you can actually just log on - kill a hostile - log off - six times to win a bronze medal and to complete the associated event. Or you can choose to work at it two times and be done that way via gold medals.
long summit
Hey, I have a question im hoping someone can answer: does anyone have data on the amounts of crystal, gas and ore from previous battlepasses that were A) Free and B) Paid? The reason being is that the free portion now gives more mats than the paid portions. So is it that they lowered the total mats given, or increased the free mats but remove those same amounts from the paid battlepass?
robust vapor
@teal nymph I'm about 8m power and got about 95m last one, without captain or system bonuses.
abstract gate
I don't throw a penny in the battelpass, this event is done by a drug addict
granite zenith
@long summit watch talking treks latest video for your answer
dire veldt
the free side of the battle pass has more mats because the pattle pass point events no longer have any rewards other than the points
essentially these rewards have been transferred there
granite zenith
nothing was taken from paid version... it ALSO increased
abstract gate
you know the video where I slam it
long summit
@dire veldt I understand that part... but something seems off. Like, half the milestones don't give mats now.
dire veldt
that has been the case since the number of milestones were increased, event specific awards are in between in their own milestones
lucid plover
@teal nymph im 7.5mil power and yes you can get 100 mil in flash events
@abstract gate im f2p lvl33 and topping the leader board for my tier (32-33) so these flash events are balanced well iv been able to get gold all but once
abstract gate
try to review the events before making them work, and put other systems where you can do the events
long summit
@dire veldt @granite zenith kk thanks :)
granite zenith
try to review the events before making them work, and put other systems where you can do the events
@abstract gate try reading the events... there are a ton of systems where you can do the events
abstract gate
I have been with this game for more than 2 years, but this is the worst event I have seen
granite zenith
i have been here the same amount and i love it
see people can have different opinions
granite zenith
and now it is all made clear
wind stone
This flash event is garbage I’m so close on giving up on this game it just seems to get worse every day way to go scopley
abstract gate
Try to do the event, with a 1,134k centurion against 2 million plus ships
lucid plover
If your trying to place high in the leader board its time consuming but if you just do the milestone its easy over half my tier(100) have only done milestone and helped in alliance flash events
granite zenith
This flash event is garbage I’m so close on giving up on this game it just seems to get worse every day way to go scopley
@wind stone you mean... I dont like flash events... the way others dont like mining events, and some dont like domination or pvp... BUT i can see how others might have a different opinion?
i can do it in a 700k powered ship
granite zenith
@pale wind dont take away ALL his reasons to complain with logic... then he will have nothing to do today
abstract gate
Uncommon, rare mineral
granite zenith
see... just complaining to complain... 🤷♂️
I have an ingrown toenail... can i blame that?
abstract gate
At my level the centurion should have strong ships like the Augur
abstract gate
Change your perspective of the event, which can also be good for the little ones
In our ally, most aren't doing it
lucid plover
The event is broken down into tiers with only 2 levels in each its fair for any level

5 days of flash events in a row is 3 days to many even 4 for most players. That will make players run away from game very quickly
formal hornet
quick question/thought on today's pvp event. the notice says G2+ so does that mean 3* ships too? Enterprise?
granite zenith
are g3 above g2?
formal hornet
yes, just trying to plan out the slughterfest hehe
humble siren
ergh, today is october 8th ?
patent lodge
1 day off still too much gring for most players. Scopely still don't understand this is a casual game not a full time job
granite zenith
so question
would you prefer say faction hunt instead?
not for rewards... for the event itself
no rewards
humble siren
so, the 4 days of hourly events is just too much
we have one guy on our server who has gold in all events so far
he will collapse at somepoint
its not healthy
granite zenith
the META slb is optional... and he is an idiot
humble siren
some say competative, i agree with idiot 😉
granite zenith
its a game... not a job... get in, get out, be done
nova valley
hahahahaha same on our server @humble siren
i took out names to protect the innocent.
this was taken 2 minutes ago.
dire veldt
whats the max anyone could have now? 72?
nova valley
66 points / 3 points.
22 hours.
out of 23 events so far.
we have one more at 11am which would make a full 24 hour cycle.
so h's 22/23 for now. insanity
humble siren
@nova valley yeah, but this is day 1...
dire veldt
I have 50/66 in second, first has 60/66
tawny coyote
Hello. Just want to add that 4 day of this event is very tasking. Can we maybe next time break it up.
granite zenith
when they are in a coma on day 5 i will mop up 🤣
inland hamlet
Pvp sepeartist and this, repairs are taking a beating
granite zenith
sorry went dislexic
pale cobalt
I'm 17th with 22pts I'm aiming to finish in the top 50 decided early on I'm not busting a gut for it, I don't do any during the day I wait until everyone is asleep then I do 5 or 6 during the night 😂
tawny coyote
inland hamlet
More pvp soon.. Crazy
granite zenith
it is broken up @tawny coyote 2 days on... one day off... 2 days on... break til next week
nova valley
Pvp sepeartist and this, repairs are taking a beating
@inland hamlet unless you're totally prepared to go the long haul, i'm 100% recommending you do your SMS for Bleak Times and bow out.
humble siren
Similar here
nova valley
unless you're in a very inactive bracket, some of these guys are blowing my mind.
granite zenith
thats an OPTIONAL event...
nova valley
yeah the leaderboard is NOT even SUPER DUPER worth it, so do liek the jelly event, either be prepared for it, or bow out lol
tawny coyote
@nova valley Great work on last few videos and podcast. Very informative.
nova valley
thanks @tawny coyote
inland hamlet
@nova valley or just get 1 to 2 points peak time cleanup at night
granite zenith
Pro Tip... the Distinguished Service is optional for those who WANT to keep going...
its not REQUIRED... thats why its a SOLO
inland hamlet
And sleep 8hrs
tawny coyote
FYI. I do skip forward stupid news. 😂
nova valley
omg you shoul'dnlt. it's the best part. lol
whoops apparently i hadn't waited for the event to end.
nevermind, he's perfect, 23/23
granite zenith
@nova valley see i told you we need to start moving it around so people dont know when to skip
patent lodge
All events are optionalno events are mandatory. But you forgetting the point. We complained months ago about grind events. Regardless of 5 days or 2on 1of 2on its still a grind event. Scopely have again forgot about players having real lives
nova valley
wowzers.
inland hamlet
@nova valley sure he's not a bot?
granite zenith
nevermind, he's perfect, 23/23
@nova valley how much did you bet me again that someone wouldn;t set the alarm
nova valley

@patent lodge actually quite the contrary. scopely took the last event, that required 15 points, and reduced it to 6. therefore reducing the necessary screentime by approxiamtely 60%
@nova valley how much did you bet me again that someone wouldn;t set the alarm
@granite zenith i actually didn't take that bet. cause i knew people would. but i didn't expect anyone to play this game 24 hours solid. i mean. wow.
look at 2nd place. has only missed ONE event.
nova valley
lol ok. if i owe you tacos, i owe you tacos. but i didn't think i took that bet.
inland hamlet
Also made 3 points available in each event, to satisfy the 2hr casual gamers
nova valley
well either now i know you're drunk, OR i know i was out of my mind yesterday hahaha
patent lodge
@nova valley and added the grind elsewhere
granite zenith
nova valley
added an OPTIONAL grind for dedicated players to demonstrate their inability to sleep. remember: leaderboards specialize in highlighting two classes of players:
1.) spenders
2.) grinders
nothing else. leaderboards cater to those folks, and shouldn't be misinterpreted as anything else. you either grind your guts out, or outspend your opponents. if you think otherwise, you're kidding yourself.
OH YES. well it's only been 24 hours.
there's no way he does that perfect for 4 full days.
i'll still keep that bet
if he finishes with 288 points. ill pay you 5 bucks.
lol
nova valley
but he's been this way in the game for a year. i mean i remember talking to him ages and ages ago about a grind event and i ran into him overnight. he told me, he doesn't sleep.
literally, dude don't sleep.
ever.
formal hornet
I like the flash events, but still think if they put the 120 discovery refinery tokens on something we can do like franklin parts, etc., then the concern will go away
granite zenith
i know... and has a radar for shields
formal hornet
they already limit the refinery by time anyway
nova valley
te refinery tokens should be considered secondary, kinda like the normal refinery. the events will be paying out more of the sdc's than the refinery. in my opinion anyway. i pray i'm right.
tawny coyote
@nova valley Did you find out if we have the faction hunt as a battle pass event, are we getting the faction credit and officer xp?
nova valley
hasn't been answered yet.
tawny coyote
That figure. Panic never answer 😂
inland hamlet
So if apac and eu started 30 mins past hour there's 1 more today yet on one apac server 1 guy already has 72 points.. How does that work? Did they have a double points event
Mind you very few on our server in the 31 plus brackets lol
Seems we have gotten sleep top is only 56
copper onyx
Do we have any idea when the Discovery blueprints might ever come around again? I missed out on the last 'x45 blueprints' reward (and yes, the ones after that gave the Disco an edge) during Part 1... due to life and family problems not allowing me to work on Part 1 for the first few weeks, tried to at least make it up, but fell just short... 'no worries, Part 2 will give me a chance to catch up'... Nope, I'm getting loads of 'Spore Drive Components', some wonderful 'Discovery Refinery Tokens', but despite Part 2 being heavily Discovery-centric, nothing at all to let us try to catch up and actually 'Get' the ship!
arctic marten
@copper onyx drop some $$$ or deinstall. U better learn how scoply handle this
inland hamlet
Arc 3 might get event store if lucky
copper onyx
@arctic marten care to point me to where i 'drop the £££'? I might be an F2P ideally, but to sort this, I might pay to at least have a basic Discovery... but they aren't even doing that!
inland hamlet
At least so far arc2 disco is unnecesary
arctic marten
@copper onyx no disco in your shop?
inland hamlet
Unless count disco pvp
copper onyx
@inland hamlet well, that and the flash events... unless you get lucky
inland hamlet
But so far bp has been separatists and disco is useless
Not really 2been using vahk just going to same system
copper onyx
@arctic marten Nope
inland hamlet
And if you do 6 events x 1 point that's all you need
Some peeps in my bracket using 2 discos...
Just do what you can
Since in every bracket, doubt there's even 400 people in each bracket so just hit 1 hostile get minimum 1 point
Not as if its a battlepass event either
formal hornet
and disco pvp gives SDC which you don't need if you don't have a disco
copper onyx
Fair point, and just because Part1 was screwed up, I'm not giving up on Part2 even if it is Disco-centric... but I still wish Scopely would have given a 'catch-up path'... I mean this is still the 'Discovery' event....
inland hamlet
Just relocate close to 1 system.
Send 1 or 2 ships in and farm that system yes disco gets 2x points, so use 2 ships
formal hornet
I think you will see it in Arc 3 when the store happens.
inland hamlet
Probably arc 3 but they may do surprise store
copper onyx
there's a Part3?
inland hamlet
Lol probably
formal hornet
well its expected. could be 4 parts, but most have been 3 parts, and the store is usually in the last arc
copper onyx
I'm still slightly new to their Story-arc (parts) method so I'm not au fait with the routine
pale cobalt
We have only had 1 with 4 arcs and that was borg the rest have all been 3 arcs
formal hornet
same here, been reading/watching old stuff to plan out my F2P purchases. try timing my ops upgrades with the store so I can get the BPs I need as I go up
copper onyx
What's annoying is that whereas a lot of people moan about Discovery (well, the early parts), I actually enjoyed it... all parts of the ST universe have their place.... so I really wanted the Discovery... I've yet to get a single 'definitive ship'... except the Botany Bay, which isn't exactly ST accurate, plus Scopely have tightly locked that progression into another story.. hence why i did all i could with the limited time of Part 1, and 100%ing Part 2
pale cobalt
The Botany Bay appears the original series they found Khan and the augments in stasis on the Botany Bay
copper onyx
not what I said

So I'm on the mission Signal Interrupted on Discovery Arc 2, and the system I'm sent to to kill Klingon Invaders has no Klingon Invaders, can somebody contact developers to check the code please.

Click locate go to the system it locates to and kill any hostile in that system
copper onyx
@pale cobalt Just to clarify, I know all about the Botany Bay and its place across the whole ST multi-verse... but the version here... relegated to a data-miner... feels slightly 'off'
fierce night
The events seem fine to me rn with one exception. Why would scopely make a solo leaderboard that also relies on an alliance leaderboard ranking. Especially when the alliance leaderboard event starts when most people are working. Doesnt seem fair. I get that the event rank brackets are smaller, but...
pale cobalt
Botany Bay was described as a survey/transport ship in the series
formal hornet
sometimes you just have to have a little help from your friends 😆
pale cobalt
Artistic licencing with the some of the ships 😂
formal hornet
@copper onyx remember this is the Kelvin timeline, so not sure if the movies touched on the Botany Bay
copper onyx
@pale cobalt transport, more than survey if memory serves... but either way.... Data? I guess you could put it down to them being augmented intelligence, but still.... ! End of the day, I guess they needed a unique attibute for the Augment, but... something feels slightly off
@formal hornet True enough.... ahh the joys of not only multiple quadrants, and timeflows, but then to add the parallel aspects 😄
granite zenith

plus its lots of fun
pale cobalt
Fun is not the word I would use 🤣
kindred vessel
These events are ridiculous. Demanding that you be available on the top of every hour is forced play.... besides once you get the milestone done... the rest of the “rewards” are not worth it. VOTING NO ON THIS DUMB EVENT
copper onyx
I'm curious.... does every 'Star Trek universe' (Original/Kelvin/etc) have their own Mirror-verse? does this mean the mirror-verses are separate but unique compared with other multi-verses?
sorry, I'm probably polluting 'event chat' at this point...
formal hornet
Well there is a spoiler in there, if you watch discovery and do the arc 1 missions, you get the whole story, and why the 'merge' is possible (without using Q or other mechanics)
copper onyx
true.. but i mean there 'are' different mirror-verses, at least 2....
there again... i assume i didn't get the full story of Part 1 if i didn't get the full Discovery, so... maybe i missed out
formal hornet
Discovery story spoiler: ||Discovery travels the multi-verse, as the spore network connects them all. The mirror universe is just another timeline in the multiverse ||
granite zenith
@kindred vessel some people actually liked the flash events and wanted to do more with them
the SLB was added for just those people
the rewards were meh so EVERYONE did not feel compelled to complete them
if you DONT like the flash events or DONT like the rewards then that SLB is not for you
copper onyx
@formal hornet nods I figured it was something like that, but also odd that unique 'flipsides of the coin' universe-wise would match up.... ie the right version of the ST universe would link to the right mirror-verse to match 😄
formal hornet
that is the affinity theory, where when you travel you are more likely to reach a mirror-verse that has a affinity with your than a totally strange one
copper onyx
I'm happy to do the flash events (even if easier with my non-existent Discovery)... but getting rewards of 'Discovery Refinery Tokens' is just salt in the wound 😦
nova valley
I'm happy to do the flash events (even if easier with my non-existent Discovery)... but getting rewards of 'Discovery Refinery Tokens' is just salt in the wound 😦
@copper onyx tehre will be other events that direct pay SDC too... the refinery is admittedly TOO slow. lol
formal hornet
@copper onyx remember that a regular kill on a lvl 27 hostile is the same points as a disco kill on a lvl 23. a baby disco may not be the best point grinder. you can also get your points in any event system (this is all for the ops 21-29 bracket)
pale cobalt
Adding Voyager should be interesting will they do it as 99% of the series and add a whole new section of space 'Delta Quadrant' or will they do it from the end of the Voyager series where they are back in the 'Alpha Quadrant' 🤔
granite zenith
personally.... i think that Voyager will be added as a g5+ ship
copper onyx
Actually, that's how they could solve this..... if they provided a shop conversion of 'spore drive components' and 'Discovery refinery tokens' into the completion blueprints for the Disco.... problem solved... i still get the Disco, but I'm behind everyone else... I just have to work harder to get what i can....
copper onyx
@granite zenith not sure how the scaling is going on the resurce grades... but I wouldn't be surprised
granite zenith
you were not able to GET the discovery last arc
so getting the tokens feels like a slap in the face
i get your complaint...and while there IS a pack... i understand that not everyone can... or wants to spend on it
copper onyx
because of life and family hassles, I missed the first few weeks of Part 1 (despite seriously wanting to)... did all I could to catch up, but fell short of getting the final x45 blueprints on the last day if Part 1
there is? I haven't seen it
formal hornet
@granite zenith I dont think the pack is in the store. it disappeared in mine when arc 1 ended
copper onyx
not seeing any of those
pale cobalt
It's still in mine as well so I could buy a 2nd one but not sure having a 2nd will help with anything
granite zenith
interesting
formal hornet
Ops 23 here
granite zenith
It's still in mine as well so I could buy a 2nd one but not sure having a 2nd will help with anything
@pale cobalt ooooh base raiding
having a discovery in the base raid system and then in the home system to summon your miner

well, I'm already x55 blueprints into getting it... so maybe they think those prices are off because they give 'x100'?
pale cobalt
Interesting that might actually be worth doing 😉
copper onyx
i mean, on those values... I'll have a load of harvested and cultivated mycellium to swap for completing the ship! 😄

@twilit imp Is it possible to obtain the second set of missions from the first Discovery Arc before starting the missions in the new Arc? I saw something mentioned about an Event Store but the store appears to currently be closed?
granite zenith
hmmm... well im sure that if a <@&509691205798592532> is watching this room... they can find out if it is supposed to be viewable by all players... especially those who do not yet have the discovery... they are pretty good at stuff like that
lost mist
@copper onyx That sucks. I just scraped through to get the last BP's but missed getting a few rewards further on to get the second set of mission keys
delicate moth
CS is probably your best bet for that, if I'm reading the implied question correctly.
lost mist
@granite zenith Meh, you get enough Teleport tokens to move your station temporarily don't you? I have heaps. Depends how much raiding you do I guess.:)
lost mist
👍
formal hornet
@granite zenith that's a lot spores though, as sometimes its hundred+ trips for me when I raid
granite zenith
i currently have 66k and climbing
not saying its perfect.... just saying its a reason why 2 discoveries could be useful
lost mist
The amount used reduces based on ship level and research?
granite zenith
discovery's
lost mist
Currently 1000 a pop for me.
formal hornet
you big meanie.. did you not see what happened to Stamis when they did 170+ jumps back to back!
granite zenith
mine is down to 600... with max efficiecy
tier 3 so it should go lower... even lower with rare stamets
lost mist
What's his ability?
formal hornet
but at the same time, without the events, your cap will sooner or later be 18k as that is where your refinery will cap at
but is there a cooldown on spores? I dont know because I've never been below 18k
lost mist
No, you'll still be able to kill hostiles in those systems to get processed so you would go over the cap.
granite zenith
to be honest... i think we are gonna get disco saturday anomaly burst events like last sat... but won't know for sure til this sat
lost mist
Probably...the fun will live on forever...until it doesn't. Is this game going to end up clogged with leftover content from multiple different Star Trek realities?:)
I would like an Enterprise E though...
south arrow
I bet none of you thought events could be even worse 🤣
Scopley blew past the low bar it had set
lost mist
Oh no, now we have the whole IP, they can easily get a lot worst. What if one of those ships from the last episodes of STTNG with the ball shaped front ends gets put in? Like something from the second season of Buck Rogers.
Or one of those Quad Nacelle jobs
earnest quartz
Worth it...
copper onyx
true enough.. I mean I'd love the original 'Archer' Enterprise.... polarised plating and all.... but then put it up against the current world stuff, and.... boom
icy trout
You get this
copper onyx
hate to think what they'd do to it to make the Archer Enterprise viable with all the modern stuff in STFC
lost mist
@icy trout A touch underwhelming, would prefer Rare.:)
@copper onyx Hey, don't NX it till you try it...:)
copper onyx
@lost mist Cute 😄

@paper robinopely wake up this last event failed in massive style. I attacked and got no points. Pull this battle pass and disco. You have no clue
red wolf
Once again not getting points in an event system during burst event
void leaf
Refund everyone’s money and admit to the SEC that you stole money from ppl
nova valley
Once again not getting points in an event system during burst event
@red wolf apparently lag is our enemy yet again. i just got bombarded with points. stand by, they should show up in a min or two. i still don't have my slb points, but i just got all my burst event points.
void leaf
It’s all broken. Shut it down and start all over again. We are tire of garbage events
dense lantern
Has anyone else had the muddied vision missions re appear in the gifts tab?
void leaf
I don’t have middlied missions. And my game just crashes. Again scoply doesn’t fix anything. Rushing events that are not tested
They have no intention to fix the problems. They only want your money
granite zenith
yep thats what they did... you are completly correct... 🙄
zinc sun
Working as intended
void leaf
Not. I’ve restarted and not there
void leaf
Not there
outer belfry
Receiving pts in events is lagging
void leaf
Everything is lag. Nothing working right
restive wing
Allaince help points aren't always registering. Helped 5, big delay, then only got 2 points.
inner bear
Tapping the hostile 4 or 5 times before you can attack it is epic fun.....wow such tension
upper moth
In “signal interrupted” mission. At 2nd step it says I need to kill 1 Klingon invader. When I use locate button it takes me to Obillent. Is this a glitch?
restive wing
No, just kill any hostile in that system.
pale cobalt
Go to Obillent and kill any hostile in the system
upper moth
Ok. Thank you.
pale cobalt
You will need to kill 2 hostiles in Obillent
upper moth
No problem. I’ll just shoot them until something happens. 😃
grizzled rune
Well this new event won't get finished by our alliance, we need 60 points and only have 48 players.
formal hornet
you can contribute to your alliance as well. help is not the only way
btw contribute works for the daily 50 count too
grizzled rune
It says you only get 1 point either way you go. So max for us would be 48 points.
pale cobalt
My alliance is suiciding envoy's to ask for help
grizzled rune
The unity BP event.
mental yoke
Help all is back to only counting for 1 help. Individuals are counting properly
formal hornet
your contributions are not limited to the number of players, you can do this is a solo alliance. My son just completed it clicking contribute (parasteel) 60 times. (he is ops14 and in a low level / low activity alliance)
granite zenith
👆 its the button clicks
abstract gate
think you guys might be in need of this .... * ** passes @toxic urchin a case of 🍻 *** *

@toxic urchin
thanks for listening and adding a event timer for flash events
loud creek
The Vulcan flash event is shit 😡😡😡
earnest quartz
Flash event is ok, 5 day ranking event depending on flash event is insane
inland hamlet
@grizzled rune so you not found contribution button or fact 1 building 1 research is 2 help requests plus ship repair, construction and scrap.
And it's each time any of these carried out? Plus contribute resources to alliance
Smash a fortunate 2 times each
Oops fortunate won't work, but if you doing flash events those ships need repairs?
nova elk
Unity bp event. Contribute or hit help. Rivetting stuff scopely 🤦♂️
inner bear
BLEAK TIMES.....perfect name
granite zenith
Unity bp event. Contribute or hit help. Rivetting stuff scopely 🤦♂️
@nova elk yall asked for less screen time 🤷♂️
void leaf
We also asked for bug fixes never happened
granite zenith
some did... some are in the pipes... some stuff is easier to accomplish than others
void leaf
When doing flash events can’t see ships due to lag. Or not getting points in flash events. Is not fixing. How about game crashes. How about rolling out buggy event again. Really need to pull back and do some time and testing before releasing buggy events.
granite zenith
well
here is the thing
the event ITSELF is not buggy
its the lag issue
which has always been there
admittedly
and NEEDS to be FIXED
i agree
void leaf
Every part has malfunctioned. 74 ppl in my alliance are complaining about how horrible it is.
granite zenith
🤷♂️ 83 people in mine love it
so it COULD be lag issues
which some server DO have worse than others
IF it is lag that is making the event unenjoyable... i empathize with you
void leaf
I use to love this game but since they released discovery it has been horrible
granite zenith
and most of the things that you have listed are lag related
not the crashing.. but the rest
although i guess the crashing could be lag related as well
void leaf
Yes. The crashing has been a long time. It use to Nvr do that. Now it’s constant.
abstract gate
although i guess the crashing could be lag related as well
@granite zenith historically it was a memory leak
granite zenith
SO... here is my question to you....
IF they came out today and said hey... we have a way to fix the lag... BUT we gotta take the servers down for 3 weeks..
would that be acceptable?
nova elk
@nova elk yall asked for less screen time 🤷♂️
@granite zenith no i didnt. Though the disc arc has achieved that anyway 👏

@granite zenith potentially if they tested it a helluva lot more beforehand..... if they fixed a lot of the ongoing bugs, refreshed the daily goals/rewards, refreshed lat space..... pretty much give the game an overhaul
void leaf
Not to them. I have other games I could play that I’ve been ignoring. But they couldn’t afford that
young pilot
9 out of 10 dentists recommend the second arc.
formal hornet
@granite zenith hehe the lag monster is multi-verse and has existed from the start of online games, no dev will ever conquer that monster, its the ultimate boss mob
granite zenith
@granite zenith no i didnt. Though the disc arc has achieved that anyway 👏
@nova elk then you should have ranted in here louder for more screen time than the ones who ranted for less
Not to them. I have other games I could play that I’ve been ignoring. But they couldn’t afford that
@void leaf no i mean to you
would you continue playing the game if they had to take it down for a lenghty repair?
OR is it beter to make small adjustments over time
void leaf
I love less screen time. Then I could play others. I am not arguing that. The crashing and lagging does cause ppl to be on more.
granite zenith
personally if there was a lenghty downtime... (days or weeks) i prob would not come back... to be honest
