@abstract gate whales can camp next to your base and hit your ships when they return

#

Ie next day so I have missed my dailies

#

@abstract gate whales can camp next to your base and hit your ships when they return
@abstract gate is your server that underpopulated?

#

Do you not have relocation tokens?

#

Be mobile.

#

Very active, actually server 193 one if the oldest server and we have a lot of toxic players who will just do that

#

We murdered off all of our pirates on 31

#

🤣🤣

noble thunder
#

Dat is true💯

abstract gate
#

And that guy was just at war with me

ripe orchid
#

lol he hasn't met a alliance like mine then lol... we feed on that mentality@abstract gate

noble thunder
#

I have more thumbs than we have pirates

ripe orchid
#

that speaks volumes about the server and quality on it imo 🤣

abstract gate
#

When the entire server hunts you, you go ROE or you delete the game

#

So am i to understand you're a big bad pirate who cant hang in a pvp event?

ripe orchid
#

define a pirate because "roe" is like buttholes everybody has one... and not on a server with a galaxy wide roe... wars fought over that and roe lost

abstract gate
#

Lvl 43 vs 28 is not pvp, it’s hunt the lower lvls event

#

No loot no shoot

#

Zero nodes are fair game

ripe orchid
#

pirates raid they don't go carpet clearing thats a troll bro

sage widget
#

Systems are loading super fast without all the floaters though

abstract gate
#

We raid.

grim inlet
#

Casual players going to all quit

ripe orchid
#

👀 not even talking about a pirate talkin about a troll... and reality if i wanted to troll could because there arent that many that can shove me out easily with a pvp scenario and frankly im not bothered by being targeted server wide or not lol

grim inlet
#

Multi accounts winning big killing their second account ships

#

Great event Scopely

abstract gate
#

On our server, roe doesn't mean mining simulator. Raiding is a regular part of the game

ripe orchid
#

but hitting a non zero or over isnt my style unless in a war status then.. you all 🔥🔥

abstract gate
#

Yep

#

Raiding is fine, the lvl ranges need changing that’s all

grim inlet
#

SCAN FOR CHEATERS SCOPELY. LOOK FOR THOSE KILLING THEIR SECOND ACCOUNTS.

abstract gate
#

Omg dude, it isn't a cheating conspiracy.

grim inlet
#

It IS CHEATING when you kill your second account a thousand times

abstract gate
#

I'm owning this event, and not with cheats or being a big giant whale. I'm lvl 31 on a server that averages 33

ripe orchid
#

@abstract gate it does happen thougj our top player in server claims to have prob about 5 accounts staggered through mult levels..

grim inlet
#

Ban stick coming

abstract gate
#

I've personally out scored our top whales entire alliance 🤣

ripe orchid
#

like i said they smart and its exception to rule prob.. anamoly

abstract gate
#

And your lower players not dragged your score down?

#

I am the lower player

#

31 is lowest player?

#

Damn

#

Lowest in my alliance is around 28

#

There are maybe 5 of us under 32

#

And that 28 is also killing it

#

Most in mine are sub 28

#

Our server was locked for a long time because of high population. Level averages are high

#

Ok, so maybe the pvp seems fairer, but for us on other servers it was a slaughter

#

But that’s not the issue, it wouldn’t be a slaughter if it was system specific

#

I can't compete with the dirth of 1mil plus ships, in a system specific they camp those systems

#

This way i can hunt the lower guys than me or ships in borg or stella space under their radar

#

Ok, so that’s what it’s now like for us but in every system I want to be in for dailies

#

Today is not a day for dailies

#

I got most of mine, but I'm not sacrificing the event for it

#

Why should I stop dailies just for a crap event for upper lvls

#

At least the other ones gave you a choice of doing or not doing

#

And still got a point for losing

#

It's not for upper levels is my point. If you aren't sending your ship to the same system over and over to be slaughtered, you can do it all in small bits here and there

#

You just have to be more flexible in your play.

#

Like you would if you were at war

#

I’m not interested in the event, I want to do my swarm and Borg grind

#

I don’t do wars, they are pathetic

worthy idol
#

Yes but that takes forever, its lame to jump into system to kill 1 or 2 swarm when you have to hit 50

abstract gate
#

You just don't like doing pvp.

#

Nope I don’t do the other pvp events but they also don’t stop me from playing

#

This has, and that’s the issue

#

So take the day off. But pvp is a part of the game, and many players enjoy it

#

So do it in specific systems

#

It’s not pvp, it’s hunt the lower lvls

ember walrus
#

Dont give points for hitting ships 1/20 of your power

abstract gate
#

Thats what pvp is, lol. You wont ever see a lvl 33 hunting a ktinga

#

It’s basically swarm Sunday but with us lower levels replacing swarm

ashen wharf
#

Why this game lost players to eve

worthy idol
#

I never take a day off, I complete all dailies, that's how you build and grow, not by wasting rss

ashen wharf
#

I can kill mega whales on there

#

:)

abstract gate
#

Pvp is a part of growth too

#

How?

#

Base raids

pale cobalt
#

Base raiding is not PvP

abstract gate
#

They are offline, I don’t count that

ember walrus
#

You can avoid being raided if you want

ashen wharf
#

Raiding is its own thing

worthy idol
#

I base raid, really enjoy it. I dont go hassle people out trying to do events or dailies

ashen wharf
#

You are attacking an offline player

abstract gate
#

You've never faught through a base defense

ashen wharf
#

Lol

pale cobalt
#

Wait for someone to be offline with no shield and steal all there rss is not PvP

abstract gate
#

Do alliances not attempt defense on your server?

#

Like I said, nope. A higher lvl generally 1 shots my base and all 4 ships

pale cobalt
#

That's still not PvP

abstract gate
#

So I stay shielded 100% of the time

#

Star trek mining simulator

pale cobalt
#

I run with 7 days and have done for the last year my rss are wanted by almost everyone on my server and can't get them I don't raid because if you play smart you never need to raid

abstract gate
#

There is story you know, that’s why I started, couldn’t care less about pvp

#

It has no point, no meaning

#

You do you, boo

#

I would like to, but scopely have purposely prevented me from just doing my thing

rugged zenith
#

This was the worst event

pale cobalt
#

I also have billions in rss tokens that I use when I am running low and those rebuild up quickly

worthy idol
#

If they would fix the range brackets it would make more sense, someone 10 levels above you able to hit you is ridiculous

abstract gate
#

How do they build up ?

#

Quickly

pale cobalt
#

Events give tokens

abstract gate
#

Can’t say I’ve noticed

pale cobalt
#

Or they did until scopely removed the rewards from events and now only give Battlepass points

abstract gate
#

I get the swarm tokens every day (until today)

rough dust
#

Congratulations Scopely. Your Galaxy Wide PvP event effectively killed all activity on our server. There are basically no Warships out, just miners mining. Oh and the occasional Minermadas.

Seems like this event backfired.

minor bolt
#

This event needs to have a much shorter time limit

pale cobalt
#

If you want to take part in this event and can't find any ships to kill find an unshielded base with warships docked and attack it killing warships while docked also gives points

abstract gate
#

Like I can defeat a base in 1 hit lol

rough dust
#

And don't make it Galaxy Wide.

gusty pulsar
abstract gate
#

Or make the attack ranges better, a 43 vs 28 is not pvp

gusty pulsar
#

Awwwww

pale cobalt
#

I have the advantage of being on an EU server event ends 12 hours before dailies reset so I will just wait for the event to end then I will go do my swarm and faction kills for dailies

@pale cobalt all the servers are that way 🤦‍♂️

pale cobalt
#

If it was points for damage dealt I would gladly go park my warships for others to attack, my ships will be destroyed but I would still get points for doing some damage to their ships as well

#

@tranquil crater how would I know that I'm not on other servers

Thank God for cyberpunk 2077! No more fleet command,!

idle stone
#

The PURGE! 😂

ashen wharf
#

Yes when cyberpunk comes out

#

This game gets shelved 🤣

#

Aint coming back

rugged zenith
#

So many alliances are cheating this event

#

Everyone should get a refund

#

lol this is crazy

abstract gate
#

It’s free 😂

ashen wharf
#

sucks that you paid

#

Get owned 🤣

rugged zenith
#

It’s not free

abstract gate
#

It’s definitely f2p

glacial kernel
#

F2P pay to win

ashen wharf
#

You either exploit the mechanics like most events

#

Or you pay thousands of dollars

#

Most events where you can "pvp" people just leave alliance for points and hit each other

#

Where you can steal resources same thing

#

then they rejoin alliance before the event ends and win lol

swift plinth
#

This event has caused a large number of players on my server to bubble up and walk away for a day. A surprising number of folks mentioned walking away from the game if scopely is gonna force pvp on everyone in every system. Folks bubbles down? Whale hits. Folks doing their dailies? Whale hits. A commodore friend of mine is leaving the game today because of the event. At first I thought this event might be entertaining but watching it unfold is just terrible

#

Congratulations Scopely. Your Galaxy Wide PvP event effectively killed all activity on our server. There are basically no Warships out, just miners mining. Oh and the occasional Minermadas.

@rough dust

I'm literally watching other folks in my server, this fella included, run armadas with miners. Our server is a ghost town tonight

shrewd drum
#

Sure! It is time to look for other games than stfc! 😋

ripe orchid
#

the simple reality here isn't so much pvp imo its how we pvp lol and scopely is only making it worse

abstract gate
#

Stupid Event from stupid money hungry gamemakers....i cant do my daylies..5 times,detroyed. How can i make everyone to a target that s Not possible to play

#

I hope so that a high level hacker make a Job and turn all server fans out 🤣🤣

ripe orchid
#

and its obviously gonna get worse if scopely makes buffs for holding areas of galaxies.. lol

#

lets just give another reason to consolidate high lvl players so they can squat prime areas and make a bigger pvp gap lmao

sonic bobcat
#

I bet most the new players at lower levels will have been farmed so hard today, and there inexperience with they game witll make them think is the norm and what to expect all the time, leaning them to just quit the game.

Adding to that the negative points, you going get players annoyed and thiere own ally friends for trying to do stuff and getting killed

SO the event not only breeding server wide hatred for each other its also make people sour with thier own team mates.

surreal vine
#

I can envision the conversation in Scopley dev: we have way too many abandoned floater ships we have to keep tracking; I wonder what event we can create for players to clean this problem up for us? Bingo!

formal lance
#

I was looking forward to remain Klingon missions... it’s ok. There’s 9 more days. Off to Netflix tonight and will try again tomorrow. Nice way to make us all do mining dailies Scopely 😂 a tiny bit of raiding and maybe one brave soul per system in my server.

<@&509691205798592532> please pass on - PVP event a big bust on server 12. It's like a ghost town.

Hello Commanders. Scopely Customer Service here. We want to thank you for your feedback through the recent surveys. We understand a great number of you are concerned and unhappy about the PVP level splits. In en effort to appease you we are unleashing a new event. Server wide, alliance PVP. This is our way have saying we hear you and care about your concerns...... but only if you are a whale. Long live the whales!!! —— Signed. Scopely

#

I wonder if this was a draft that floated around Scopely HQ

formal lance
#

Looks legit

patent ridge
#

It was their intention to slow down total play

formal lance
#

Well then they were absolutely successful

#

Way to make people care less

patent ridge
#

Yep

abstract gate
#

Player remove game----- me nr 1 😋

orchid halo
#

@formal lance you actually care too much

#

If youre not doing dailies for fear of getting blown up and losing points

#

How hard is it to do swarms while scanning system to make sure nobody is coming for u?

#

The inconsistency in the whining is incredible

#

“They will all leave for EVE”

#

Uhm you know in EVE you are watching your back 24/7 from the moment you log on?

#

Youre not safe anywhere and there are hunter killers squads, stealth ships, combat ships disguised as miners

#

All waiting to kill you everywehrre

#

At warp gates, outside your station

#

By mining zones

#

By pve zones

#

Everywhere, waiting to kill you

indigo lake
#

If thats what we wanted we would be playing eve

orchid halo
#

And they will warp bubble you so u cant run

#

Exactly- this game is so much more friendly than eve

#

And so people who say our players will l eave for EVE dont realize how cutthroat it is

#

And when you die you have to regrind everything from scratch lol

swift plinth
#

The event isnt even giving points out properly

orchid halo
#

There are no repair costs...just a total lost of your investment

swift plinth
#

Just blew up a Kehra and Vahklas in someones base and got 30 points.

#

Did it to someone else and got 200 points, should have been 400

#

The fact it gave different points for the same action is stupid but clearly that's not the only issue

indigo lake
#

Its not that I mind pvp once in a while, its the lvl gaps that are so far out of whack that it is unplayable. If they want to promote pvp have equal levels go against each other.

#

Then it would be enjoyable

tender sentinel
#

hahahahaha they changed them to what it is so the whales of the game would have more little people to steal from. so little people that are not so smart would potentially spend money. but most just leave so they invent useless things like vidar or syella or discovery or bb to generate more money.

#

stella

dreamy hearth
#

Idea: Let’s no longer call this a “PVP” event. Let’s call it what is is designed to be. An “SLW” Scopely Loves Whales event.

radiant jay
#

Agree with thettibblepimp, point are not adding up. I hit 2 different bases with a kumari and a d3 in base cracked them both no points. Another with just a kumari bam point added in.

dreamy hearth
#

Where there ships docked in the bases.

radiant jay
#

All had ships docked

#

Sometimes it gives you points sometimes not

dreamy hearth
#

I don’t think you get points for hitting the base itself. But you would get points for defeating the docked ships. Depending on what they are

#

If the base only had miners docked... no points. Etc

radiant jay
#

I reset the game to see if it was the usual glitch but no .

#

Yeah I know miners are no bueno 😉

#

🍻

ashen wharf
#

Its not even that hard on eve to get a ship back

#

Lol

#

I can tell you barely played it

#

If you were dumb enough to fly an expensive ship out and get destroyed your fault lol

swift plinth
#

I just blew up a Kumari and a Vahklas in a base. Should have added up to 500 points. My centurion died. I lost 500 points. I did not gain any points. So even though I should have broken even, I've lost points.

left zodiac
#

You have to one shot the base to get the points

tender sentinel
#

so be a whale with maxed ship got it

silver solstice
#

Why participate in this event as you are supposed to when you can just get a couple of guys to drop from your alliance and they send underpowered ships out for you to slaughter them over and over.

north walrus
#

Event killed the server. Dedicated systems would be much better

cloud grail
#

Really, this is based on what Data?

swift plinth
#

Scopely needs to just give the rewards to everyone to make up for the fact that they made another cheatable event, where folks can win just by having a player drop tags and blow up their stuff. Or the fact that the points we are earning aren't working properly

languid yoke
#

PVP is fine. Make it a burst event.

#

Especially instead of the crap burst events of late.

#

Hey but at least soon we will have territory to defend.

#

And all kinds of other bs that will glitch.

swift plinth
#

Hey but at least soon we will have territory to defend.
@languid yoke You're hoping for an awful lot based off a "Hey we think about these ideas!" post

languid yoke
#

@swift plinth true

limber remnant
#

Make this a designated pvp systems event so the 90% who just want to play the game actually can. As it is only 10% can do anything in this game . No one else can do dailies or missions or anything without some dork killing them.

languid yoke
#

@swift plinth I mean Armadas were coming for a year right?

lunar current
#

Dumb retard Scopely event 🤬🤬 can’t even do daily

languid yoke
#

@lunar current that's an insult to retarded people.

#

Lol

limber remnant
#

That defend territory crap is another disaster waiting to happen.

lunar current
#

Yep that’s retard event.

meager zinc
#

Probably the worst event they have ever had. It’s designed for whales and jerks. That’s it. The only thing that would make it worse is if they gave points for killing miners.

solemn tusk
#

The old version of this did give points for killing miners

meager zinc
#

That also didn’t stop the jerks from clearing entire systems of miners for no loot. They probably got board since everyone is staying in.

lunar current
#

If the event is just for 1hrs PvP than is fine but for retard 24hrs event is stupid

storm warren
rugged zenith
#

So many alliances are cheating

#

It’s amazing to watch them climb from 10th to 1st in 30mins

hoary lichen
#

This event blows.

#

Top spenders win

#

Dailies?? Whats that.

abstract gate
#

Not a top spender, winning. Top spenders on our server are actually ranked behind the mid level groups that actually play to get there.

#

💯 the people who hate this event don't ever engage in pvp

limber remnant
#

Here’s an idea the 10% who like this event can all be placed on a server where they can have a pvp only game. The rest of us can be able to actually PLAY the game.

abstract gate
#

Basically you want a pve and pvp server separation

#

That is typical in MMOs

#

Let the pvp people pick a server that supports it

exotic depot
#

i agree. we all hate this pvp event👎 👎 👎

abstract gate
#

We don't all.

tropic sundial
#

lol this event is for whales only

abstract gate
#

I am not a whale. I would love this to replave monday mining events

exotic depot
#

we love star trek, the story, not pvp.. whats the difference if this game is another pvp game? lots out there...

tropic sundial
mental island
#

@abstract gate Categorically wrong. Hating the event isn’t even about the people who hate it. It’s the reason for it being hate able from a clumsy release to a chaotic deployment. I pvp regularly, and this is just a sloppy “Wild West” release of a feature doomed to frustrations and failures simply because of poor design, lousy execution, and apathetic results. It was poorly designed, poorly built, and poorly delivered. So the result is this putrid version of PvP which leave more disaffected than the few who beat their chest over their PvP abilities in front of an increasingly absent audience who couldn’t care less, until next months updates take their disinterest to limits never before experienced. That’s been the trend with Scopely products and services since the company’s inception.

tropic sundial
#

Hmm whos number 1

#

i pvp too but this is stupid

mental island
#

Agreed

tropic sundial

only for whales this event

Go play Farmville it's a battleship game

hmmm no

#

Star Trek Fleet Command is a 4X "explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate" mobile strategy game

#

get it right R3D

cyan finch
#

They are actually doing a great thing to remind us that it's not always mining

#

Yeah the 4 eeee

#

😂😂

tropic sundial
#

lol we dont always mine lmfao

abstract gate
#

you wont say the same thing if Scopely include miners in this event

cyan finch
#

Then why complaining miners are safe

abstract gate

Exploit, and exterminate being currently hilighted

cyan finch
#

Don't go out

#

Stay inside

abstract gate
#

players only enjoy this event because they have smaller player to hit

glacial kernel
#

Pvp is great but only when there’s some actual balance a ship with 27 mil power hitting a 1.1 mil ship is far from balanced

mental island
#

Yes, it’s whale bait. Obviously

tropic sundial
#

yea lvl 40 killing a 28

cyan finch
#

Lol ik... I've only 900k ship but actually enjoying

abstract gate
#

how about those player at the bottom of your PvP range, how should they enjoy this event?

mental island
#

Classic mobile gaming model

cyan finch
#

Running from whales

#

Nothing we can do when it comes to whales... In any game tbh

tropic sundial
#

R3D u must be one if ur having fun

abstract gate
#

I am loving this event, and doing well when my biggest ship is 800k, and most of my server is 1m

#

so if you cant beat them, join them in bullying smaller player for enjoyment?

cyan finch
#

Lol

#

I'm running from my server whales fn hitting other people on their alliance

mental island
#

Oh well someone is going to make the outlandish claim that it’s not as though they’re the special exception

sturdy hemlock
#

Keep paying whale!

mental island
#

Well, look at that. There ya go

cyan finch
#

I've a 900k Sally that S it

abstract gate
#

Qq more. Git gud.

cyan finch
#

If they launch that alliance terrority... Then whale alliance will dominate all galaxy? N get all bonus?

tropic sundial
#

is a 2.5m bortas vs a 606k may balanced

#

no

cyan finch
#

Then what u will do?

#

If they capture everything

#

Cry?

#

Like baby?

tropic sundial
#

should be lvl brackets

abstract gate
#

this game has always been set up where big fish eat little fish and players participating in those poorly designed PvP events only give Scopely the Validation they need to continue down this path

cyan finch
#

PvP bracket need to be changed I agree on that

tropic sundial
#

yea but they probably wont

abstract gate
#

Yall just dont have the wherewithal for this game, imo

tropic sundial
#

all scopely wants is the whales to spend more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

edgy wigeon
#

Nice event nice event, in a pigs eye, where’s the opt out button jeez what a shower, somebody said Whales and Jerks, would have used more profane terms, i wonder how many players just put a shield up and called, excellent idea

cyan finch
#

I'm in this game because of the people I found in my alliance.... Having fun..

tropic sundial
#

all they want is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

abstract gate
#

thats what this Pvp game is, if you want to fight with others on equal grounds, spend money on your ships

cyan finch
#

Not like my server whale alliance where they are divided n hate others...

#

N blame each other but other for rewards

tropic sundial
#

thats what this Pvp game is, if you want to fight with others on equal grounds, spend money on your ships
@abstract gate its not a pvp game lmfao

mental island
#

Git gud at what’s bad? Sounds like foolish advice if I’ve ever heard it. Git gud at day trading, make lots of money, and go enjoy your successes while we likewise delight in your absence.

Yes, the industry is highly aware of the psychodynamics and emotional economic of this very phenomenon as it pertains to status and capabilities

If you can get invested enough with your time and efforts to be emotionally triggered by an adverse event, you’re more likely to take greater risk and essentially purchase your way forward to ease the turmoil and gain some sense of security about what matters to you in that moment

I dont mind pvp but there is pvp with someone around my own level then there is pvp with some1 10 levels higher with ships that are maxed that is not pvp thats fly swotting. Game is designed the higher you are the easier it is in pvp as your ships are more powerful. Ships have a usefulness level once you are at that point you scrap for a better ship

They do need to sort out the way people cheat for extra points had the same with the call to arms event. 24hrs in 3 or 4 systems wouldn't be a bad thing and have alliance's locked and pvp levels reduced to +/-2

@livid jolt nice to see you what is the view in scopley around pvp levels after the negative feedback from this event that has killed server activity in a lot of servers

astral forum
#

Most boring thing during this PvP event that raiding bring into your alliance - points if you try to crack some bigger that very weak base and your ship die... points should come only from PvP battles!

#

This PvP event must be some "cleaning" mission where players clean idling ships for scrogely

real bluff
#

Or <@&509690795536941056> are you guys able to let us know how pvp will work in future as this event will kill the game unless it is balanced a lot more it works in other games I really don't know how scopely havent been able to fix it in 2 years given how much negative feedback has been given over pvp levels and how out of Alignment they are?

Server 23, an alliance kicked one of thier lvl45 whales and though losing the PvP event all day, used killing his ship to get points for first now in the pvp

Scopely probably won't do anything about this player or it's members due to the amount they spend

Should remove the ability to score any points from a former alliance member for a period of time

Also the alt accounts too feeding main alliance ... yep pvp events sound great but there are too many ways to game it.

👆👆 <@&509690795536941056> @livid jolt @toxic urchin please look at the feedback for the pvp event. You need to fix pvp levels before you try this again. Event was broken before it even launched.

Scopely doesn’t care. That’s the feeling of a lot of players. It’s all about money to them not game play. I’d spend more money if they did t want £91 for a pants package. They offer very little. If they want us to spend cash then make the game fair. Ask us the right question and you will see we are mostly all in agreement that we want the same thing.

Thanks for the vent. Glad to see I’m not alone here with this.

The Klingon event was ill conceived. Whoever the Scopely team are please understand the key to a good game is game balance. Players need to feel they stand a chance. In the Klingon event the great majority of players are disadvantaged. They are easy prey for the bigger players and cannot event get their daily tasks done. The event should be restricted to specific systems or better still ditched. I sincerely hope we see some better thinking in any territory addition.

coward mining alliances are kicking players and smashing their ships to score in the event, and they hide when someone else shows up .. fkn disgrace of an event

Scopely needs to think through how to run a pvp event, not just have server chaos.
Say alliance A has to defend certain ship types in a specific system (something small and cheap, maybe fortunate) the longer they service the more points alliance A gets. Can defend with war ships or even realtas for disruption. Different level players can play with warship, whereas smaller players may can drive the escape ships. Other alliance score points for killing the target ship.
And make it time limited. Max 1 hour.

I see a few comments on our server by those who are vocal in galaxy chat that STFC is a PvP game. It is not. It is a strategic economic game first as without mining you cannot advance your base or research.Then it is a PvE game and then a mission/exploration game. Finally we have a PvP element to add some spice. But spice is all PvP should be. If the game is to be expanded why not build in a Ferengi trade option? The territory idea, considering we are meant to be independents sounds rather odd and will once again favour the top three or four alliances

I think the intent is to promote PvP and that is no bad thing - but this is sadly not the way to do it. So many servers are so anti PvP that this event does not work well. I wish I was on a server that embraced a decent amount of PvP. There needs to be a more targetted way to bring PvP into the game more slowly on many servers before attempting something like this. I, for one, like the idea but with nobody to fight, it is boring. I shouldnt be doing my dailies easily.

What is the point in pvp? It has no value

No value? What value do you want from it? It is a lot more exciting than mining if they can bring the game around to a working PvP mechanic.

And the only reason for raids is to get dil as it’s about the only way to get a useful amount of it

But in this event you can earn points by doing it, on my server almost all the mid level 20s have their bases cracked just because of the points

@abstract gate defending a players base. A proper run pvp event where players of equal level are agaisnt each other rather then the current range we have. The current pvp is badly thought out there needs to be huge changes to it for pvp in this game to work. If feedback will be listened to is another thing as I haven't seen any <@&509690795536941056> since the event was started and had such a huge negative feedback. Ill admit I wasn't on for the first 6hrs of the event and was on for an hour before sleep but I haven't seen any today as its the weekend and they don't work weekends so there won't be any changes to the event as come Monday all the negative feedback will be lost

marsh sleet
#

PvP should be allowed but in limited ways. The duel events are good. Raiding is annoying but I think a decent part if the game. Mass warfare is pointless and justs costs the game players. STFC is a strategic economic game. That is how it should develop. For those who want a permanent wargame, perhaps they should try another game? There are plenty out there

abstract gate
#

Exactly 43 vs 28 is not pvp, they should have made it 43 vs 43 etc

#

This is just “lower player hunt”

They aren’t attacking each other, they have to repair too often

But, it still doesn’t progress the story

Totally agree the execution is bad, but I like the idea, and want to do more Pvp with purpose. I dont hit random ships, I dont hit bases for fun, I dont hit anything for zero gain but I am all for sensible ways to encourage it in as part of the wider game.

We have 3 main factions in the game. Have each alliance pick a faction to support and then do a war between the 3 factions in the home systems day 1 is ROMSvFED in sol for example and all ROM faction alliances can send ships to sol to battle all FED alliances

The main story talks about a coming war and as an independent we must pick a side

Poorly designed PVP just makes players want to leave. Too many days like this will make me seriously consider leaving the game

The PvP should go by the access to Power per player ship... or the ship Power levels determines your status to attack PvP. Thus a level 38, or 28, or 18 vs 48 can go head 2 head using the same range level ships. Only miners are exempt.

@real bluff totally my thought. Intro to the game let’s you think you really choose a side, but you don’t, u mix everything. Choosing a side and having pvp/raids against another fraction, that would be more consistent and thrilling.

#

You could ad fraction boards, fraction leaders, fraction buffs, etc.

#

Far better than this total mix of everything

gray dagger
#

Plus repair times should go the way of the level. No more than 30 minutes for repairs on anything. I can repair my base in sec... yet 5 hours for a Centurion? Whats the point? Why get to the levels to build the ship if you scared to use it? Also... why wait for ship repairs? If you have a dock, repair should happen automatically, no waiting. And be instant, like dock repairs. As long as you have the resources for the repair.

Why is there a difference in alliance reward for bigger players?

#

They seem to get Lat that smaller players don’t get

gray dagger

LAT is the goal for money. Credit is the tools for each faction to represent Lat value... Why cant I convert Lat into credits? And why is Lat so valuable in StarTrek, yet not so valuable in the game?

#

If Exchange Faction are the Banks... then why don't they have Lat in their Banks with their credits? or why cant I convert exchange credits for faction credits and at a higher rate?

@twilit imp Besides cheating, I see 2 other issues. The negative score for losses and the fact that it's galaxy wide for 24hrs.

The negative scoring was well intentionned, but the side effect is that less pvp inclined players just clammed up and refused to play. This fix is actually worse than the problem it tried to fix.

The scale of the event (too long /everywhere) broke the rest of the game, made progression impossible. You can't do your swarms, grind rep... It's frustrating as hell and creates another incentive to quit for the day. Make it burst or only in some systems and that goes away.

Please, redesign this event, or pull it altogether or you risk alienating the majority of your players.

gray dagger
#

They need to combine servers because there is no new players coming in. Entire 2 star spaces are empty. Not a ship mining anywhere. The last of us are 3 star. So why have 2 star thru 4 star systems? Just have the resources and let the refinery do the discrimination of which type of resources to refine. That way space is plentiful and the fight to control it can happen, creating more fun in war battles.

Then its not actually pvp. PvP implies that both particpants have a relatively equal shot at winning with the tools given.
@heavy cradle thats my point mate currently pvp isn't pvp as the levels are unbalanced. They need to do same level or +/-1 or power based in 500k brackets

So great an alliance with 2 wings, the lower wing just provides fodder for main to farm.
Happening on every server.

How is this so different than exchanging kills.

Just requires 1 alt to basicly supply and rank an alliance.

abstract gate
#

Gonna write this out a bit. Presently, I am the top raider on S29 with no one near touching me (including most alliances), but I have a standard of play I hold myself to. I even message some before I hit their bases to save us all time, energy and speedups. After all, no need to benefit Scopely if we don't have to. I play with alliances as they play with mine; I am reactive and try not to be a bully (but will go after people if they come after mine).

At level 45, I have decent ships, and by my level and ships, it's apparent I have put money (wasted) into the game which I can afford, but though I could put more in, I don't put more in than I do because I didn't get my money by wasting it.

I found myself one shotting bases this morning for points for my alliance, and it bugged me. It really bugged me. Because this is not how I want to play. Each Server has developed it's own Rules of Engagement, has its own politics between alliances, and Scopely disregarded the community in this way and others with this event.

If this is the shape of things to come, I imagine people have other things to waste money on.

vague perch
#

as others have mentioned many times alreadt, on my server teams outside top 10 are now in 2nd and third from players leaving and boosting. Others have already suggested limiting system so not galaxy wide, i would suggest at least disabling scoring in system below level 13 or 15 so you cant hide and cheat so easily. since lvl 9dont participate and there is no reason for mid or high levels to go there i cant see any disadvantage

should they have made the event a join event... like the faction reps ones.... You join in on the pvp.event and bright yellow flag is over all your ships like the flash events?

Make alliance players leaving not granting points for that particular event. as pvp is essentially broken in this game nonetheless simply remove this silly event altogether, please.

Just ftr, I have done my dailies despite the event.

I’m not even bothering to log in

#

@granite wadi You should screenshot your completed dailies and stick 'em on the fridge. lol. I always finish my dailies.

granite wadi
#

@abstract gate LOL - It was just to say it can be done during this event. 90% of the time I do them all. Sure you can't leave your warships unattended at the moment but it can definitely be done.

This is 1st time since I started that I won’t have

granite wadi

That is your choice @abstract gate - they are doable.

@granite wadi You can't make that judgement on him.

Yesterday got destroyed every time I tried so just not even going to try today

Not everyone can play a lot of hours.

I don’t constantly have eyes on the screen

It even mining at the moment, not logged in since 9pm

#

cold hedge
#

question -- for the pvp event... if you destroy a player who is tagless, no alliance, do you get points?

wet lance
#

Yes

#

On our server the event has devolved into which alliance can have someone drop tags and feed Kumaris to a 1701 faster than the other.

cold hedge
#

interesting how a alliance scoring pvp event can kill non alliance players

wet lance
#

It's incredibly stupid.

abstract gate
#

Zulu, that’s why a member of an alliance will leave it to be attacked on purpose

granite wadi
#

OK @abstract gate and @abstract gate I get your point and apologise for the snap judgement. If not even logging in and not trying is your choice then it is your choice not to do your dailies. If you try, and it sounds like they have, then that is different. Adapt and overcome. I was being harrassed doing swarm so I left it until later. I have helped lower level members fend off harrassment. Teamwork and adapting is the way through this.

abstract gate
#

Anyone know when the flash events are supposed to start back up?

long slate
#

All the PvP promoters lol. It’s so easy to exploit this event by using alt accounts or having players leave the alliance and hit them.

abstract gate
#

Sounds like that would take far too much time @granite wadi

cyan kettle
#

@abstract gate 4 hours I think

cold hedge
#

ok changes perhaps...

  1. make it a join event... you join all your ships become targets with a yellow flag like the flash event...
  2. you have to be apart of a alliance to score points
  3. if you leave, get kicked from a alliance it is increased to 24hrs
  4. Starting a new alliance has a 24hrs cool down before that alliance can take part in any alliance events..
    just ideas
abstract gate
#

@granite wadi Not everyone can do that. Some people lead regular lives, play at regular intervals for a certain amount of time, and move on with their lives. So to say, "put it off til later", which I completely get because I have and will, is simply not an option for some people.

It’s Saturday and they probably have the most inactive game they have ever had

Dear Scopely,

Please please please set up an actual beta server and have actual players play test events like this. It's clear you don't or you wouldn't have screwed up the ALB/SLB scoring and had to take it all offline to fix it. You also would have gotten nothing but negative feedback BEFORE putting it into the real game and ruining the game for most players. You would have found the scoring discourages "fun" combat and encourages exploits. You would have found out everyone hates it.

Please, for the good of the game, delete this event from the Arc. No REAL PvP is happening. It's just devolved into people smashing lowbie bases to kill a vahklas, and people seeing how fast they can have a non-allied player feed Kumaris to a 1701. This is far worse than that poorly conceived "finale" of the Gauntlet. At least that was only one system filled with exploits for points.

If you want to make it fun, only give points for taking it a ship of the same type. Points for a 12M Korinar eating a 150k Kumari is dumb. Watching two 1701s face off with experimental crew setups is fun! Keep it to limited systems so you don't alienate 50+% if the player base who just want to kill a few reds.

You do yourselves a great disservice not treating with actual players. Poorly conceived events drive people away. Delete this event, and actually play test new ones.

Common ways to fix the 'farming' method also fixes camping too. Add in a decreasing value with a cooldown time, Each time killed player decreases in value by 25%. 4 kills and they are 0 point value. Every 15 minutes if not killed they gain back 25% value.

    @cold hedge 1) would work. Only get points for joining and those that join. Those who don't can carry on.

The rest of that does no good, most of the exploits are being done by alts with an alliance of one they started months ago.

All fair points, not everyone can play all day every day - and tbh they probably shouldn't even if they can! Everyone talks about the people who can't play they want because of some event. What about the people who cant play the way they want because of the lack of an event? This game is supposed to have a PvP element but I can not play that way because people on my server dont want to. All servers have different self enforced rules and it is the luck of the draw what sort of game you get.

So this PvP event is stupid, open season everywhere so some players wanting to not be involved can't play. Need to restrict it to certain zones so everyone can still play the game

Yeah the "stay home" event... Do they want us to quit the game? 👎

granite wadi
#

I guess I see your point, but it isnt even close to a similar style game. Game mechanics allow me to attack people. It is designed into the game. Everyone is told when PvP starts before they upgrade their OPs and get too involved in the game. I am saying that PvP is not implemented well, I agree totally - but it is there and you can't hate on people for doing it.

So, we get 2 more of this event to give everyone chance to mine and fill the rss banks, nice. Empty space created by empty thinking 😉👍

I believe the scoring isn’t working correctly for kills in bases. I should have got 1000 points for the 3 ships yet it only credited 200. There’s nothing about bases being 200 points so it must be a ship counting

I believe it credits one ship, possibly the last/weakest one.

As said on other servers, and it is the same on ours, Ghost Town event!
But those who are leading the event are cheating by kicking one of their members and hitting their warships....very uncool!

Even when in war, you find places to complete dailies. Hard when everyone is after you everywhere.

I would say limit the range of levels of players you get points for.

People like different things, the problem with this event is it doesn't encourage non pvp players to get involved and stops them from enjoying the part of the game they loke

Not thought through at all ... PVP within a given range of levels ... let' say +/- 1 or two would be fun ... or in defined systems only ... but for a Level 25 like me this current "open PVP" event means just staying home and ignoring STFC for the day ... doesn't harm me at all ...

but I can do dailies now, it makes it a bit more nerve racking, and when I warp home, I warp to a nearby system first so i can get a better entry point

yeah @abstract gate , all non shielded bases have miner guards haha

including my own

#

@mint basin Yeah, the smarter ones have done that. But whacking bases for no resources is, I'm sorry, dumb as frick.

All it does is force people to shield.

Yeah, hitting bases for no rss, just for the pure of it sucks

This pvp event and other such ones need fixing. Alliances just cheat their way to the lead by destroying their own alliance members ships (temporarily left alliance)

because the event itself is easily gamed and unfair for lower lvl players

vale rover

the problem is that some guilds seem to score a huge number of points despite most players not sending out ships. it seems they are using alternate accounts or temporarily leave their alliance to score points - that is not really an encouraging event to take part in.

So this is rage of the Klingons, make Klingon space PVP and hostiles attack no matter what. @shrewd totem

Turn it into the wild west. Next time maybe it's fed.

Or independent space.

I dont see anyone saying they are happy with this one. Should've been taken down 2 hours in and reworked.

Something needs to make it more interesting. Like only explorers hour one....something

Yep

Not packed, but you can hunt em down

the best would be if you could show , with an icon maybe, that you want to pvp

I found more ships in my last war when 76 people turtled.

Oh yeah, turtling was a popular move. We've got a one man alliance of a lvl 30 (small for our server) in the top 20 of the leaderboard

I have 127 mil power destroyed, im not afraid of pvp. But this needs a lot of work.

abstract gate
#

It's sad

young field
#

Well, this event will cost Scopely some Accounts, that is sadly a fact

burnt cypress
#

Another bug which Scopely consistently denied the existence of is Shield failure and yeah I know it exsist because it happened to to me, and to a good friend twice (who left the game because of this problem), and several others I know personally. You want a reason why so many are leaving the game, the shields fail, they get drained, and they just up and leave after that.

young field
#

Shieldfailure is a thing, yes

abstract gate
#

If you pit in a ticket after a shield failure they reimburse you what was taken

#

I've been through it

young field
#

Scopely wanted pictures, clever.

burnt cypress
#

But Scopely denies that this bug exists...
and no they don't...they come up with some conveluted excuse that your miner, which was out minding its own business mining...attacked a warship! Citing this as the the reason your shields failed...no reimbursement.

abstract gate
#

Does it still exist? Haven't seen it in a while

#

Dude, they acknowledge it. And they reimbursed me for it.

#

And yes I m pretty sure the source of this bug is spontaneous attack of passing ship

burnt cypress
#

Yes it happens about 2 or 3 days ago to a member in my alliance.

granite zenith
#

Well, than it is not Star Trek, just another silly shooter
@young field of course it is....
Was the Nerada restricted to just one system in 2009 movie?
you gotta remember what this game is based on... the Abrams universe... ya know the one where the movies were not stop pew pewing?

abstract gate
#

I did see logs of such miners attacking unprompted @burnt cypress . Don't think they make it up.

#

I call it spontaneous attack bug because of that

granite zenith
#

while we have ACCESS to the whole library... you gotta remember the game is still based on the original rules that the devs created
its not suddenly gonna become all kumbaya just because we have TNG assets

abstract gate
#

Now that the logs are much longer your player might see that his ship attacked on its own, this losing shield

young field
#

Nerada was (Imagined) revenge, at least the tried to have a reason to shooting ( its called a plot ) but tis is simply stupid an a lot ifnot most players that i know hate it.

burnt cypress
#

Well sorry I put in a ticket, months ago now, and I was denied reimbursement. Same to my friend to whom it happened twice also no reimbursement. And another friend who also lost shields, never got reimbursed.... maybe you're the lucky one.

abstract gate
#

Some I know got partial reimbursement, never full

young field
#

But i have a solution, stop playing. Good evening.

waxen wyvern

I will be so.glad with this event is done...SMH slowly at this one.

@young field and as i said... this game is BASED on the 2009 movie... now if they come up with a FLEET COMMAND 2 that has different background... then it can be all peace love and gene roodenbery

but know what game you are playing... thats all im saying

Pssst.

1hr left of this stupid event.

☝️👌

So many people in a game where pvp is a central mechanic, upset about pvp being a part of the game...

#

Maybe scopley can make some pve only servers where base raids and ship to ship aren't available for yall farmville players

burnt cypress
#

No! fix the bugs so we can play the game.

The last maintenance, when we came back in everyone had a ceasefire. I had a franklin out doing 32s. As soon as i hit recall i was watching my base admiring the yellow orb when the franklin warped into my system of Rator and targeted my base. The ship was wifh the reticle instead of the arrow and my shields were gone

Bugs is the issue...we get PVP

@doodbro I'll speak slowly so you can understand.

This PvP isn't true PvP if it's just whales Vs f2p players.

If you still don't get it, then I can use crayons to explain.

We have a solo alliance lvl 30 player on a server full of 35-50 that is ranked in top 20. This isn't a whale event, you are just bad at it

@doobro 'ranked in top 20' translates to 19th lmao.

If I killed miners and lil ships all the time can I big a big pvp guy like yall

I think he's 17th. I'm in the rank 1 alliance

waxen wyvern
#

Seems to be a standard approach ha!

burnt cypress
#

And you know how to do that by cheating...kick a member who puts his warships out so the other ex alliance members can hit it. Then after the event the kicked member is back in the Alliance. This is more than canabalistic...

abstract gate
#

One alliance tried that last night, we swooped in on em

fair wedge
#

Our server is experiencing pretty blatant boosting by a few alliances. Pretty disheartening for people trying to do it legitimately.

abstract gate
#

Had 3 guys that just hunted systems for that

#

I personally scores higher than the whale alliance of 35-50lvl players, i just hunted borg a few times

#

Pvp event is stupid as hell. Only skill needed is suicid8ng ships against a base and being stupid enough to want to do that

#

That would not score you points

Doodbro there u go. We have emnap on Borg spac.

Oh yeah, all our roe is event conditional

The event can also be described like this: "Beat and scare the little ones"

Yeah ours is standard...we dont switch for events as that causes too much drama

Vidars killing probes is considerd mining on our server.

So you've scored by killing 'miners'?

Roe shouldn't preclude participation in events

#

witch hunt, gestapo and stasi in one event. congrats scoply!

#

Are warships protected in swarm space while the PvP event is going on?

abstract gate
#

Shouldnt be

crystal egret
#

Make the pvp events be in designated systems, increase the number of systems, and allow base shields to stay active if we pvp in those designated systems...more people would participate

sweet shard
#

Our server is a ghost town actually looks like it is a mining event

abstract gate
#

Designated systems os how whales win pvp events. Just park and wait for the food to come to you

waxen wyvern

Depends on your Alliance and general consensus of majority of other Alliances....each server is different

Our server ROE doesn't specify. I read it twice.

Yea. I'm asking around with our Admirals.

At least with a cloak you stand a chance against the whales.

That would be awesome

We've been saying in my alliance we want this event to happen with the flash event

@rugged zenith so find them, and blow them up

Oh well we'll just prepare for another GHOST TOWN event.

And give them points?

If they blow up, they lose points

A guy on our GC called it the Corona event: everyone in lockdown!

Worst event in a long time

yeah some call it that.

It’s not possible. They’re just turtles

I find it refreshing. It could use some tuning imo 😂

waxen wyvern

It has potential but yeah tuning pls.

Needs an incentive for people to leave their bases

humble siren

I actually had to think about an event for a change

If you lose points there’s no rational reason to leave the base

It just becomes a@mining event

Last time that happened was introduction of yellow space😂

Doodbro you're getting boring now. You've just admitted to hitting big space for kills. That doesn't make you good, or warrant saying to everyone else that they're rubbish.

This event sucks scopely need to change the parameters of this for next week or this event shou be boycotted by all who hate it. Then you pvp whales, credit card warriors, won’t have anyone to kill but each other and scopely will see that it the rest of us that allow this game to continue

this event needs reworked. Alliances r just feeding themselves. no actual pvp going on anymore...

This pvp event could have been better.

Limited to new klingon systems and anom systems by ops lvl as follows.

G2 ships up to lvl 20 anom systems
Kehra ops 21 to 23
Vahklas ops 24 to 25
D3 26 to 27
Bortas 28 to 31
Brell 32 to 33
D4 34 to 39
40 us groupings based on klingon g4 ship lvls. (sorry no idea what they are)

Seperate systems for each.
Upon warp in, warp drive is disabled till event end or death.

This could be cycled with rom or even fed events.

Maybe make it arena system with x tokens per day per player

Thoughts?
