[ashen wharf]

while actively trying to make people level up

cant wait for someone to make an excuse for them saying its fine

👀

[empty kiln]

Would Mirror Mirror missions be completable by a level 12?

[keen ledge]

The original run of Mirror, Mirror said level 10.

I would assume the re-run is similar, although I cannot say for certain.

[empty kiln]

Thanks. Are the rewards worth it?

[keen ledge]

That chart shows the various paths and reward options.

[empty kiln]

Brilliant, thank you.

[quick sand]

@keen ledge I have updated the chart with the OPs level requirements...

[keen ledge]

Tyvm!

[granite zenith]

I think i have seen one for the other mission as well

[quick sand]

this one? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/697529042450120708/714194831748104252/image0.png

[granite zenith]

yep thats the one i saw 😁

[viral coral]

I must say, these mission values do not reflect their cost in the Event Store

these were a huge waste of buying in the event store

Ok so what's this Mirror Sigil good for?

[somber flame]

This makes total sense you get more points for 1*. What the heck, why would you do that.

[left zodiac]

@somber flame due to the mining rates of each

[somber flame]

Ok, but other mining events you get more points for 3* vs 2*.

[left zodiac]

The mining rates between 2* and 3* is a reason as well, 2* is faster to mine then 3*

With isogen the 1* is the slowest to mine

[viral coral]

ok so what's with rebuying the Mirror, Mirror missions?

Is it just repeating the same Mirror, Mirror missions?

[nova valley]

it is. but it's useful for players who may potentially not have kirk maxed. as far as epic shards go, it awards 9 purple kirk shards, and it's relatively cheap compared to the other epic prices.

[viral coral]

well that's a shame for me, thanks @nova valley !

What about that Mirror Token? does it have any use?

[nova valley]

it's the token used to "start" the missions. the "sigil" has no purpose as of yet. i've had mine for over a year and never had anything to do with them LMAO

[viral coral]

ah yes, the sigil is what i meant, thank you @nova valley

well, i can't deny that this makes me upset with spending the currency in the event store for missions that have practically little to no value.

[nova valley]

you already bought mirror mirror? lol why didn't you check it out first! oh man. yeah that's stinky. though if you already have him maxed, you COULD argue that it's gonna get you 3600 transporter patterns which are 3 epic shards towards another officer, AND STILL better than spending directly on epics in thes tore.

[viral coral]

i bought all the missions lol..

eh.. i get that much just from faction chests a day

so it's really not worth it

would've done better buying the Parsteel tokens

heck, buying literally anything other than the missions would've been better..

[neat owl]

If you want to max your spock... you can pick the right path and repeat the missions a few times and gain around 20 spock shards

[tall valley]

If I could pay for less missions I would

Scopelys CFO ears stand to attention

[obsidian gate]

What about discov mission available, do these missions already appeared in beginning of discov arc.?

[lavish hinge]

In the event notes within the station hub news section, i see there's supposed to be an event going on called "Galactic Takeover" for anyone lvl 25+. I am lvl 25, and i'm not seeing this event in my game. Am i the only one, or is there another reason for this?

Ah nvm, just did a search.

That's kind of silly to put it in the list

Although, it does say we'd win a frame. Didn't get one of those. But oh well, don't really care about that.

[lucid pendant]

Have a question on the blueprints in the Shop. When I level up to 20, will the Discovery blueprint appear in the Event Shop? Currently they are not shown.

[lavish hinge]

They should. typically they appear the level before you can build the ship.

[lucid pendant]

Cool, thank man 😃 👍

[swift fossil]

Has anyone tested if griefing iso scores in the event?

[viscid helm]

SO if Scopely is bored someone might explain to me why in the minint event a level 38 (4 Ships) has to compete with a 39 (most likely 25% more mining capacity due to a 5th ship)

[abstract gate]

Dose anyone know what happened to the compensation chest for the level 27/28 players.

[bitter snow]

Taking OPC is not griefing

[abstract gate]

@abstract gate u might have missed it or it's not out

[bitter snow]

But yes

yes it does

[abstract gate]

I think u only have 10h to redeem it

Our players of that size have not got them

Yeah looked on official announcements it doesn't look like it's been rolled out

So they have to wait lol

Or scopley forgot

[dense ocean]

Actually this time it IS balanced very well as 1* gets you more points than 3* iso.

[amber prism]

I think they are ignoring us on it in hopes that we forget lol

[desert storm]

Was going to ask the same thing - sounds like no one 27/28 has received this yet?

[dense ocean]

You still interrested in parsteel chest? 😇 🤣

[amber prism]

Hahahah

Yes, just so I can then complain about that ;)

[stone grail]

No jelly event again waaaaaa

[raw owl]

This doesnt look like an avatar to me. 😅

[candid sedge]

Anyone has the iss jellyfish pursuit event ?

[eager nimbus]

@twilit imp PLEASE be consistent Scopely! The last two arcs u have been automatic joining the spending auctions for the avatar. Tonight u r back again to the version when u have to join to get the avatar.....
I just get tired of this game 😞

[old dagger]

The store didn't say there was a limit to how many Stella prints you could get, so I just wasted a bunch of credits on 50 blueprints I'm never going to be able to use.

[frosty remnant]

No jelly auction? Lame.

[frosty remnant]

No one has the auction.

[hearty cairn]

I'll take a race to ops 20 for 1000 plz.

[hidden zinc]

They just pulled out the "galactic conquest" event and you've automatically disappeared all the navies
Also as my alliance has renewed the territories in the last 24 hours this event does not serve us to score

[stray stone]

I was coming here to say something similar.

[hidden zinc]

😫

[summer lantern]

Is the points per ship or per person ??

[stray stone]

People with Wednesday/Thursday captures are basically screwed. And our server is super cutthroat about territory armadas, so one focused strong alliance can steal everyone’s armadas and knock them out for those points as well.

[frail anvil]

Domi again, ffs original much?

[stone grail]

Let’s hope for a late start 😢

[modern estuary]

on our server all most of our TC capture windows were this morning lol

yeah completely stupidly thought out event, which idiot is coming up with these events? please remove them from the role as event planner!, lately the events suck

[amber prism]

You can buy stella prints to completion. I started at 0 and I'm at 95 now

[west dagger]

Is anyone elses lorca event bugged?

[modern estuary]

i dont know i havent bought any packs yet

[old dagger]

Oh I know, but I only needed fifty to complete and it didn't say I couldn't get enough for another one.

[amber prism]

Ahhh

I hate that the franklin is locked at 45

[west dagger]

Screenshot (11 dec. 2020 18:59:29)

[modern estuary]

did you buy any packs?

[west dagger]

nope, but this is the spending of resources so if I upgrade my ship I should get points right?

[modern estuary]

yes but if you dont have many thousands of uc/rares you are peeing against the wind

[west dagger]

No one's scored though

[modern estuary]

lorca's event is a p2w event

most people wait til last 5 mins to score

[west dagger]

Well in that case I should be #1 since i've done several upgrades on my ship but it says no points earned

in any case it looks bugged

(with the knowledge i get punched down in the end)

[frosty remnant]

It’s has to be g3/4 material

[west dagger]

Upgraded the discovery

4 out of the 6 parts

[frosty remnant]

Did it require uncommon or rare?

Common doesn’t count

Spore drive parts don’t count either

[west dagger]

aah

that's it

Only thing I have left is the spore drive but that only requires comon gas and ore

[frosty remnant]

In any sense. If you don’t score 2+ mil points you won’t win or place.

You need to spend thousands of uncommon/rare g3/4 depending on your server

[winged tulip]

Dunno, lots on our server will wait for a jelly event to coincide with auction

[fluid wedge]

<@&509691205798592532> Why doesn't the takeover event last a week?!
From our 5 territories we will defend only 1!

How can this be? Event just started and an alliance as 51.000 points already? Server 144

[winged tulip]

There was a capture which ended on reset

[fluid wedge]

5000 points even if it was a 3*... And it wasn't...

[opal tree]

points are for each member participating in TC

[fluid wedge]

That I can take. The event not running for a full cycle of 7 days I can't... 😖

Bad bad design

[summer lantern]

Are the points per player or per ship

[nova valley]

per player

my alliance jsut got 77k points form defending a t1.

[elfin jewel]

<@&509690795536941056> where's the lv 27-28 compensation after you screwed us on the pvp event

[nova valley]

we had 77 players show on our alliance member point list. we have 79 on the roster. so that shows that 77 of my players scored at least one point during the takeover.

ever hear of more flies with honey @elfin jewel ? lol gosh, with an attitude like that, i would not answer your pm. don't expect a reply lol

[elfin jewel]

Its been 2 days and silence from them on it id say I'm in my rights to be upset. If you think thats attitude you need to get out more...

[nova valley]

i think theres a proper way to talk to anyone, regardless of how upset you are. perhaps if you don't udnerstand that you should take some lessons in manners or etiquette....

[elfin jewel]

Sorry I used the word screwed? Thats hardly harsh language dude

[nova valley]

lol troll on brother. you're not getting the point.

is what it is. don't be shocked when no one bothers to answer you.

[granite zenith]

25h and 32 minutes is not 2 days
nor is a post in the #⭐-official-announcements room = silence
exaggerate much?

[amber prism]

Its been two event resets

[elfin jewel]

Seriously I said they screwed up an event and am asking for a timeline and yall think its attitude I dunno what to tell you

[amber prism]

I'd consider that 2 days in game time

Should have come yesterday at noon honestly

[granite zenith]

ha... it took me 3 weeks, 7 tickets and 20 screenshots to get comp for my issue...
but you shoulda gotten yours in 24 hours...
are you new?

[willow pine]

@granite zenith

[amber prism]

Was yours an individual issue or cross server multiple account impacting

[granite zenith]

cross server multiple account issue

[elfin jewel]

that sounds like it was an issue specific to you, not one that affected a large group of players easily identifiable by a database query

[granite zenith]

next?

[willow pine]

If I understand correctly, the alliance gives shackles in multiples of the number of 25+ level players, even if some of them do not take part in the capture.

[tawny marsh]

There have been no takeovers going

[amber prism]

My answer would be just because they took that long to address the previous issue doesn't make it ok. And they should have fixed your issue sooner

They have recently addressed issues with compensation within 24 hours its not an unreasonable ask

Even a yeah we're working on it

Would shut a lot of people up myself included

[elfin jewel]

even an update would be nice

[near sierra]

Somethings wonky about the takeover point system. Just watched one towards the end when they were no longer being challenged, math kept saying they only had 18 ships in the territory, but they def had more than 18 ships.

[verbal lichen]

<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> Just wanted to say thank you for putting mini jellyfish bps in the event store. Got the 2 missing ones I needed. Thank you, I appreciate you all listening.

[wet gust]

I thought Scopely said they were tightening the event groupings so you’d be competing against player levels closer to your own? Past 3 SLB for Station Upgrade have been dominated by players 9 levels above mine with point scores so high I don’t think even my entire station being upgraded could reach theirs. ???

[dire veldt]

Thank @abstract gate

[winged light]

Ty @abstract gate then

It looks like a small chance but made some of us so happy

[rustic blade]

did anyone get the compensation chest for the last 27-28 event f.ckup ?

[inner cave]

How does the point scoring work in the new takeover event? Is it per player in take over area or points for all players in alliance over 25

[verbal lichen]

Yes thank you @abstract gate. I know a lot of 💩 gets sent in the mods direction, but this is a win, and must be recognized.

[elfin jewel]

careful someone might call you disrespectful xD

[eager wave]

<@&509691205798592532> there are no Points by using 4* cristal

[delicate moth]

Lag?

The points might take some time to register

[eager wave]

No points after 2 restarts

[pseudo rover]

Only Uncommon, Rare and Epic counts. Not common, are you sure you spent the right type?

[eager wave]

Yes, 68k rare 4* cristal

[radiant mirage]

How does ranking work in events? We all got same points yet ranked differently?

[eager wave]

Now i get 36k points for the next lvl up

[pseudo rover]

There are no shared positions. Whoever scored it last, takes the highest spot iirc.

[radiant mirage]

Ahh so it's best to wait last min as possible to do a event weary:

Thanks for the response 👍

[pseudo rover]

Sure thing 👍

[jolly silo]

Ops 33 but I have 74 of 75 bp to build this. Considering pvp events totally worth 400 credits

[pastel flower]

why arent i (ops29) being offered baby jellyfish bps in event store? 63/75 and most of them were from an event store so if they arent going to offer me the chance to finish it why make it available in the first instance or was it so scopely teased me to waste event credits ??
and the new territory capture event for today. what a joke!! reward for 50 alliances places ??????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[nova valley]

maybe reboot @pastel flower cause i'm ops 39 and i have baby jelly and i've seen from lower level players down to 26 who have it.

[pastel flower]

when did they add it ?? thanks..its come up now..wasnt there earlier

[keen ledge]

Just a little while ago by popular request.

[pastel flower]

better 6 months late than never i guess.....

[hallow haven]

@keen ledge no jelly event for 4 weeks.. whats going on?????????

[keen ledge]

They are "approximately" every month but at times, they skip a month and then 2 in the same month. So it's hard to say when it will be. Moderators are not told in advance, sadly.

[hallow haven]

Oh wow... makes planning for an event that takes buckets of res and money really difficult

Cant just be me that finds this a pain... its such a competitive event that u have to save up so much res to place in which means you're effectively just standing still for weeks on end... is there no way you can feedback please to try and get some consistency around it?

[earnest hornet]

How annoying to give us Terran Recruits event and yet no way for us to get the discovery recruit tokens to recruit them from the Discovery Recruits

[amber prism]

Have to spend your precious terran credits to get recruit packs

Cost 11k credit to get one pack

[amber prism]

For the discovery flash events it was who ever scored the first points. Or at least that was the reason I was given when asking scopely why I didn't get the expected rewards

[earnest hornet]

Yup pretty much, Tho I’m also saving my battle pass claims for this reason, but gonna wait till the last one of these at the end of the arc as on our server people will blow theirs on these first Terran recruit events and then not many do the end last one at the end of the arc

[amber prism]

Smarter than me then lol

[earnest hornet]

But why not give us some in the event rewards as it’s all still part of the discovery arc,

😂

[strange bear]

Anyone know the respawn time on the origin armadas by chance?

[earnest hornet]

Yea Cos all the officer shards available in both the top and bottom row normally push me to top of the ranking, have done it the last couple arcs that way and worked well.

[abstract gate]

Why is the baby jelly limited to 25 BP’s?

The majority of the server only want it for the pvp event run every now and then. It’s useless the rest of the time

[ember walrus]

They want your cc number

[earnest hornet]

Lol 😂

[ember walrus]

This whole arc is a huge cash grab

More so than normal

[abstract gate]

Of course it's a cash grab it's the last arc and the battle pass rewards are trash in this arc

[earnest hornet]

Nah not trash, the BP are still great rewards, they actually giving us Faction credits for the first time also which is awesome

[radiant mirage]

Well now thats messed up. So it's pot luck on the event

[sonic bobcat]

Why is Galactic Takeover 4 days, it should be full week!
Becuase its 4 days anyone who own territory in that window will prob score big.
But if most your terriory is back end of week, well tough your not scoring!
Make event fair, include everyone and every time slot.

[waxen sedge]

Nobody wants a 7 day event, it will probably run at different days of the week this month so your alliance will get a chance to have your territories in the window.

[frosty remnant]

What did you spend 68k rare 4* crystal on? Is that even possible?

[coral belfry]

Going by his screenshot, it was Intercepter Warp 8 research, which is 9000 common 4* crystal before buffs

[inland mural]

@cunning knot regarding your previous post Vs my wanted BabyJelly I fully agree with your Recent YT vid #sarcophagus not worth it for Whales let alone Dolphins or Newts or @ F2P 😂🤣🤣

[ember harness]

did anybody get the compensation for the war within thing

[amber prism]

Nope still waiting

[cobalt coral]

I did the Solo Milestone Isogen mining and still have not gotten the reward yet. 😦

[crude bronze]

I just bought the Elite-Battlepass. I got two milestones today, but only the usual gifts...? Did i do something wrong?

[amber prism]

You have to click the checkmark on the bottom row

[crude bronze]

So if i press the Upper reward, i won‘t get it?

[granite zenith]

according to that screenshot... your elite side is still locked...
soooo... you may wanna file a ticket with customer service

[amber prism]

And yes if you have the green check on top and bottom you have to press both

[crude bronze]

Thx, just opened a 🎫

[narrow walrus]

This is annoying. Is it a glitch or intentional?

It's slow to load. Taken me 5minutes to get 20 BP. Why no 10 or 20 chest?

[mellow whale]

1 Star interceptor parts as a quest reward! Correct me if I'm wrong but there isn't a 1 Star interceptor in the game!???

[quaint moth]

What’s best to mine for the iso event? 1 2 or 3 * isogen?

[nova valley]

3*

sorry for late answer @quaint moth

best way to confirm this is take your best miner with airiam, tribble and fastest miner.

check a 3 star iso node. take the hourly and multiply by 3.

then look at a 2*. mining rate is lower but 4 points.

and then 1* mining rate even lower but 5 points.

BUT

even with the lower point, the higher nodes ar emining so much faster that yous till get more points on the 3* than you would on the other 2.

[quaint moth]

Awesome thanks so much that makes sense.

[potent crown]

<@&509690795536941056> Another day later and no 27-27 PVP compensation chest per @rough mulch announcement here: #⭐-official-announcements message

[pastel flower]

re: territory capture 4 day event...
why are scopely expecting to place and reward 50 alliances when i think theres only ten alliances with territory on our server and its stayed the same few just holding the same sectors? theres an alliance without territory has managed to run a territory armada somehow?

[granite zenith]

armadas can be run by whoever gets there

[abstract gate]

@potent crown contact support please, they can award it if you didn't get it

[split sequoia]

thats for the entire alliance

[glacial helm]

the alliance i am in finished it under an hour

[robust vapor]

@plush basalt that's for the entire alliance, and you also get points for refining.

Oh, Kuji said that already 🤔 👍

[long slate]

https://tenor.com/view/oopsie-oops-fail-sassy-chris-klemens-gif-11336158

[dry phoenix]

😂😂

[amber prism]

So are you saying some people have? Because not a soul I've talked to has which makes it seem like it hasn't been rolled out yet.

[abstract gate]

@amber prism to be honest, I have no bloody idea, lately we had so many compensation chests I can't keep track anymore... But I think that one was supposed to roll out

[tame inlet]

Anyone know how scores for Galactic Takeover are worked out fir sucessful defences?Cheers

[abstract gate]

Every player scores the points listed in event

[tame inlet]

online? in the zone? in the alliance?

From what we can work out its total alliance members over a certain ops level? so its decided by server population for crying out loud.....😂

[amber prism]

Lol thank you

[ionic wren]

Every alleance player,or only who is in the zone during takeover?

[opal tree]

yes, I can confirm that, doesn't matter if the player is in the zone or not.
points for every ops25+ in the alliance. which sucks, they should have done it with active players in the zone. oh well

[ionic wren]

Thanks mates

[abstract gate]

Anyone knows if also stealed iso from other ships does count for the Event?

[granite wadi]

it does if you get it back to your station yes. It doesnt matter how you get it in the ships, the ships just need to get it back to base.

[abstract gate]

👍🏻Thx

[tall valley]

Here's me mining 4* like a sucker

[mint idol]

why have Scopely set Galactic Takeover event at 25+ and territory entry at 20? Really hard to motivate our newer members with this kind of flawed logic?

[thorn veldt]

What with these leaderboards only having 6 places ??

Ops40+

[nova valley]

They were brackets tighter. Notice you’re not competing with level 45 and 50’s. When you look at the entire server they’re actually awarding more shards than before. But it’s broken down by tighter bracket so looks smaller.

Oh well you are competing with 45’s then lmao but not with 39 and down

My board has only 7 slots. And only top place gets full unlock. So it’s crappy. But better than I’m not competing with you haha 39 is the top of mine. 37-39

[thorn veldt]

40-44 from what I can see on it

Not the greatest change tbh

We have only 3 people 45+ on our server 😂😂

[abstract gate]

Me over here thinking about the possibility of Scopefly giving us another day of iso mining in a row

[amber prism]

You know its coming

[hallow ember]

Wow. Another day of events where you have to pretty much own territory to be even close to competitive. Thank you for cutting off 90% of your user population again scopely.

[chrome holly]

I expect the entire arc to be like that, honestly.

This way I can be pleasantly surprised when I have a chance instead of disappointed.

[hallow ember]

I admire your continued thread of optimism after the continued invalidation of it by our scopely overlords.

[chrome holly]

Its either that or quit, and I still enjoy other aspects of the game lol

[modern estuary]

i must admit this arc so far is quite poor much worse then the previous 3

the new ship is a nice to have but not really necessary, the events are too biased for those with TC space, or P2W and even those are poorly thought out as most owning alliances had their timers earlier in the week or right before the event started

the only good part of this so far is the event store, as it allowed lots of players who wanted a vidar/franklin/stella or getting georgiou unlocked

[signal seal]

@modern estuary Agreed completely. I was going to put my own comments on the bias to territory capture which leaves most alliances out of the running.

[nova valley]

alliances ranked 30 and down are arguably out of the running. but why are they 30th and down? power? activity? they need to look at other steps to be competitive. go to about the 1:20 mark in this podcast and hear the argument, and a strategy for what you can do if you're a lower power ranked alliance. https://www.talkingtrekstfc.online/e/48-hours-in-disco-arc-iv-what-have-we-learned/

i disagree 100% that anyone is out of the running. they control their own destiny.

[rapid sky]

Did someone forget to add any milestone events for credits? or can you only get so little in the next 3 days via ALB/SLB?

[signal seal]

@nova valley I listened to 1:20. I have no idea what you are talking about and how that helps me or my alliance.
And you can disagree 100% that players are out of the running. That doesn’t mean you are correct.

[mental yoke]

I appreciate scoeply making all these events. It has indeed reduced my screen time as they stated in the roadmap. All these crappy events I just skip are giving me all kinda of free time away from the game. Thanks Scopley.

[ember walrus]

Looks like at least the next day is pull out CC or no credits unless you are in a top 5 alliance for my server

[rapid sky]

Well it's more like top 50 alliances but still a 3 day event, so even if you score 1st in both SLB and ALB you're only getting 45K for 3 days

compare with SMS/AMS the last 2 days which was 45k/day

[nova valley]

1 hour 20 minutes. if you have no idea what i'm talking about then you're exactly who i'm talking about. lol it's up to you to listen to the ideas around you and make something happenf or your team. no one is gonna hand it to you. how many actives you have? let's start with that?

[signal seal]

@nova valley So not understanding your podcast is my fault. Got it. I’ll move on to another podcast.

[nova valley]

lol ok. but since you posted that you had no idea what i was talking about 9 minutes after i posted the link, there's no way you listened to the section that spoke to this part. it was a 20-30 min segment. but it's ok. like i said, players who don't want help won't get help. and they'll complain that they can't play. instead of doing something about it and making their way on to the map. it's your game. play it your way.

[signal seal]

@nova valley You run a successful podcast by insulting potential listeners?

Perhaps you should try another tactic.

[nova valley]

lol not insulting. very successful. but clearly only for those who want to improve their game play

those who label themselves as victims and want to do nothing differently to improve their game play won't get anything from my show.

[modern estuary]

alot are as most of the top alliances are full due to the insane amount of RSS needed to open up more spaces for new members this forces them to be very selective on choosing new members

[nova valley]

c'mon @modern estuary you know better than that. 50 actives is a decent bench mark.

that's a level 10 alliance. in any server more than 6 months old this should be easy as pie.

[modern estuary]

not on my server most alliances on my server are at 76 members most of which are at least lvl 35 plus

[nova valley]

and most servers are reporting between 18-22 alliances on their maps.

[modern estuary]

the alliance im in has 77 members

we have a queue of ppl looking to join

if scopely want to open up TC space to more players they need to double the max allowed players an alliance can have

[nova valley]

no. a 10 alliance isn't gonna have 5 territories and all three particles. but they can play. they can be on the board, and they can earn particles maybe 1 or 2 at a time. the 5 territories, and moreso, the 3 particles, that's the elite. 3 teams on my server have 3 particles.

but that doesn't mean the other 18 alliances on the map are victims. means they have to play differently, or smarter, to get what they need.

they don't need to. 20 alliances at 70 members is 1400 players. if all the allainces were full.

[viral coral]

Yeah, I'm in quite the dilemma where we don't have any potential players to recruit and a lot have resorted to merging, but in our case there's too many members to merge

[white oasis]

Isn't there a chart for the Mirror Mirror missions?

[nova valley]

and that's the vast majority of most servers. the HIGHEST server population in the game right now is 1950 players. and that server has some masssive 80+ member alliances. and still 19 alliances on the map.

@viral coral yeah, that's the issue. players DON'T WANT to move. they dont want to merge. they don't WANT to give up their tag. well that's their choice. that's on them. and TAHTS' why they can't power up to compete for these maps. recruiting is hard, NOT because you're not a desireable team, but because people in the 58th ranked alliance with 13 actives "won't give up their tag"

[chrome holly]

Its a bit difficult when the top 10 alliances pack together and decide who gets the other territories by picking off anyone who isn't their chosen who comes into the system.

[nova valley]

never said it woudln't be difficult. lol but it is very very very possible.

it's not supposed to be easy.

[viral coral]

@nova valley the dilemma is we don't have the spaces available to merge alliances

[nova valley]

HOWEVER, alliances aren't off the table either. make deals. offer help in exchange for help.

[chrome holly]

1% "you gotta pick yourself up by your bootstraps if you want to be like me"

[modern estuary]

not true @nova valley on my other ac we merged our alliance into two others due to the high number of inactives we had

so all our actives moved the inactives or not interested in TC members stayed in our old alliance

[nova valley]

@viral coral so there's two options here. you gotta be more strict with your inactivity guidelines and make some space, OR when offering spaces to other alliances, they need to accept that only 10 players can go and get better, and not all 15.... they may need to split up for ab it.

[viral coral]

would be nice to have more alliance member slots, but after level 20 is when it starts to get really slow and extremely expensive to level an alliance

[nova valley]

agreed.

[viral coral]

@nova valley That's with weeding out the inactive accounts lol

or even the less active members

[nova valley]

even a level 20 alliance has room for 70 spaces.

[viral coral]

We've all purged our alliances in order to prepare for a merge and that's still not enough

yes but all the alliances are pretty much filled to the brim

[nova valley]

yeah if you wanna say it like that. lol that's exactly what i'm saying. pick yourself up. dust yoruself off, quit whining that you got beat up, and try try again. combat carl doesn't give up. combat carl finds a way.

[chrome holly]

lmao

[viral coral]

lol

[nova valley]

if you have 70 palyers in your alliance @viral coral then you should be on the map. no question.

[modern estuary]

also not players can be effective at running an alliance, many try but their egos often out weigh their skill at leadership

[viral coral]

@nova valley that's not how it works though lol

[merry fulcrum]

Haha soooo wrong there

[chrome holly]

So out of touch man

[nova valley]

lol again. ya'll making excuses for your team. if you have 70 players, there is zero reason you are not on the map. hands down. period. it's a mathematical equation guys. you don't get points for power. you get points for players online during a takeover.

[viral coral]

Strength and power, as well as ships in numbers and power, the whales on the server have all merged and make it impossible for anyone to get territory, and we've got a lot of whales, about 10 alliances filled to the brim are all whales

[nova valley]

out of touch? lol i'm literally the most IN touch player with this game. hahahaha, i know ever ounce of math contained in this game. hands down.

[merry fulcrum]

We took in to the point of where we have 76 active players in our alliance

There are over 5 alliances that have tried to get in with help that can't

Virtually every top alliance with tc space is full

[modern estuary]

having 70 players is not necessarily enough to get and hold tc space. you need at least 10 - 20 36+ members to have any hope

[nova valley]

and if 76 palyers are coordinating their efforts during a takeover, that's approximately 304 ships you shoudl have in yoru takeover zone. EVEN IF they aren't on capture nodes, that 10k points in a t1 takeover.

i'll bet you a 12 pack of tacos none of you have ever scored 10k points in a t1 takeover and still lost.

[merry fulcrum]

Yes we totally have each of them on at every event.....smh

[viral coral]

yeah but there's the main dilemma, which is poor networking design in the game @nova valley

[merry fulcrum]

This is a mobile game, not a time grind

[viral coral]

The lag during a takeover is so bad, the attack button is grayed out the entire time

[granite zenith]

you guys realize that winiing pvp isnt how you score points... right...
you can be a level 20 in a realta scoring points by running away

[nova valley]

@merry fulcrum kinda my point; this is on your team to organize. be availble. choose the takeovers that work for your schedule.

[viral coral]

When you have to defend, that's PVP

[nova valley]

even better. that means you can't die.

i jsut did the math with zero capture nodes. zero pvp. and you won't lose. you just need the numbers.

[viral coral]

No that means it's unplayable

[merry fulcrum]

Yes let me call out of work and tell then I have to play stfc

[viral coral]

If they switched over to binary packets instead of JSON that would improve the network issue's tremendously

[granite zenith]

no... its having 76 people who arent dying while the other team has 75

[viral coral]

You also realize that the top alliances will team together and prevent anyone from capturing a territory?

[signal seal]

@nova valley Did I say I was a victim? Did I say I didn’t want help? Actually, because of your Eclipse Armada podcast, I use Gaila. All I said was I didn’t understand your segment.

[merry fulcrum]

Our server is just 2 mega alliances doing takeover, every battle has over 10 alliances showing up

[weak gust]

I think most problem is the Timeslots for the takeover. If are the time more in the Evening at the working days or more take overs at the weekend.

[viral coral]

When they hold all the territories, and there's absolutely no chance in hell of getting the territory

The systems currently taken over are all by top 5-10 on our server

[granite zenith]

5 smaller alliances vs 2 whale alliances CAN beat the 2 whale alliances in a capture... i know because i experienced it

[merry fulcrum]

Takeovers are horribly timed and tc is a major disadvantage to free to play alliances

[nova valley]

lol guys, yoou're the exact people i'm talking to in the show. if you don't wanna listen, if youd ont' wanna try something different, then that's completely fine. it's just there to help. take it if you want. if you wanna continue to argue and do what you are doing now, then you wo'nt go anywhere.

the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results. so change it up. look at the problem from a different angle. - Tadashi, Big Hero 6.

[viral coral]

@granite zenith they're all whales, the entire top 10

[merry fulcrum]

Yeah they can with a ridiculous amount of effort I'm also guessing those 2 alliances didn't bother with getting as many people as possible or they just didn't do what they should've been doing @granite zenith

[viral coral]

it's not just 1 or 2 or even 5 whale alliances of 78+ members, it's 10 of them

[granite zenith]

ok.... so get 10 top 20 alliances
im just saying its a numbers game
your team needs more ships not dying in the system... then the other team

[viral coral]

and there's no way to combat that without spending hundreds of thousands

Ok there's a problem with that, because we've tried and can't

[merry fulcrum]

Haha yeah which means bigger ships= not dying as much because you're doing the killing

[nova valley]

@signal seal i appreciate you listening. i really do. but the segment is more about examining yoru situation from another idea. PERHAPS acknokwledge first that IF you are not on the map by now, then your goal of holding 5 territories and 3 particles is currently out of reach.
pick a particle form the reasearch tree that holds the most research that you feel is important. "
find a t1 system with that particle, that has a takeover time that's convenience for the most of your team.
take that t1 system and hold it for several weeks. if you can grab a second territory, cool, but focus on the one that has th particles you need.
earn the particles for several weeks, until you're ready to move on to another particle.

[viral coral]

Heck, we even had a whale alliance help us and we still couldn't do it

because of the game lag and because it just wasn't possible when you've got 100+ ISS Jellyfish and Valdore's hitting everyone

The imbalance is a huge issue with territory takeover

and with these new features it's like they're trying to weed out the players who either don't spend as much or free to play

[merry fulcrum]

At the end of the day it's not a one size fits all situation, you cannot cover every situation and make it so everyone wins, you're at a major disadvantage at the end of the day regardless

[viral coral]

I've tried getting into these top 10 alliances but they've gone as far as to make requirements for spending a certain amount in game, having to have certain ships and strengths, etc...

So whales support this game sure, I buy packs quite frequently, I'm not a whale though compared to the spending habits of a lot of players

[novel hollow]

Define Whale Jesse?

which server are you on?

[viral coral]

I like the idea of territory capture, I like the new features, officers, and research. I just wish there was a fair chance of spreading the territory capture opportunity and acquiring isogen 2* and 3* outside territories

[granite zenith]

as the number one (or two) "whale alliance" who is teamed up with the other "whale alliance" we were indeed beaten in week 2 by smaller alliances
so yes it can happen
however ... its not my job to get you to change your mind regarding territories... its my job to share my opinion and what i have seen and done...
your opinion is just as valid as mine...
I enjoy Territory Capture
Maybe that is because my server is more of a wild west than other servers with less RoE BS than others
Maybe its because we have a fairly good set of groupings in our alliances and even per ops level
THERE ARE indeed lots of factors that play into it... and i DO NOT have the experience of what you and your server is going through

[novel hollow]

We've had a territory since day 1 had 2 until the paritcles then our #1 alliance took the second becuase they needed the 3rd particle. We're 22 in power.

[viral coral]

@novel hollow whales on our server are at least $75K USD or more invested into the game

[novel hollow]

So you have 10 allainces of 40+ players?

[viral coral]

I've spent around $10K in this game and I'm not considered a whale at all

@novel hollow we have 10 alliances of 76+ members that all spend money

And we've tried going with temporary transfers into alliances that have territories, but there's not enough space for new members or they just don't allow it

not even the top 10 on our server all have territories, it's more like the top 6

It'd be nice if they added more isogen nodes of 1* to 3* outside territories and also didn't make it a small amount of nodes

[novel hollow]

go steal it from them...

[viral coral]

I've been doing that lol

[novel hollow]

are you on APAC server?

[viral coral]

I go OPC hunting but relyng on OPC hunting especially when you have to spend a long time searching for a potential 1-4 OPC because you can't just view the systems

No I'm US-36

[modern estuary]

So Whale Chart: which whale are you?
Blue Whale = Spent 100k+ on the game
Fin Whale = Spent 75k - 99k on the game
Sperm Whale = Spent 50k to 75k on the game
Right Whale = Spent 25k - 50k on the game
Bowhead Whale = Spent 15k - 25k on the game
Humpback Whale = Spent 10k - 15k on the game
Sei Whale = Spent 7.5k - 10k on the game
Gray Whale = Spent 5k - 7.5k on the game
Brydes Whale = Spent 2.5k - 5k on the game
Minke Whale = Spent 1k to 2.5k on the game
Dolphin = Spent 0.1k to 1k on the game
whale food = F2P

[viral coral]

oof lol

[novel hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/porn-dolphin-hump-gif-13326348

[granite zenith]

oooh i got upgraded... i used to be a dolphin

[viral coral]

What would help is just adding isogen 2* and 3* outside territories

[novel hollow]

aren't rogue 2 and 3?

[viral coral]

no they're all 1*

The only way to obtain 2* and 3* is to have a territory captured with those isogen node grades

or to go OPC hunting

[granite zenith]

armadas

[novel hollow]

yup

but all our territories are KOS if you don't own em

[viral coral]

Yeah, so go into someone's territory and start an Armada which you'll have to defend against the whales with 6M-25M ships that you couldn't defeat during a takeover

That makes perfect sense

[granite zenith]

so are ours... but again... they gotta catch me to kill me
they gotta be looking t catch me

[viral coral]

yeah well apparently they're always watching

[granite zenith]

nobody said to sit and wait at the armada while its counting down...

[novel hollow]

send Realta start armada - position ships

[viral coral]

because I went OPC hunting this morning and they would flee every time I entered a system and they were OPC

@novel hollow and they block the entry points to the system and kill you ships as you enter the system

heck even before a takeover they start doing that, and they don't allow anyone to run armada's in their territories

[cedar echo]

Isn't that quite normal in territories? If it's blue, it's going down?

[viral coral]

yes

[novel hollow]

well keep dying to someone you like and make friends and keep at it til they invite you in the alliance.

[viral coral]

So that's the issue, there's no chance, no availability, nothing for anyone who isn't in those already full and have territories alliances

[granite zenith]

i dont know what else to tell ya bro... plenty of other people have figured out ways to succeed... and are sharing those ideas 🤷‍♂️

[viral coral]

We've tried exploring these options, I'm offering solutions to the game itself to help keep players active and not quit because territories ruined the game for them

[granite zenith]

and my issue is dont try to change the game from what plenty of people are enjoying... to what YOU wanna play...

[novel hollow]

now snake eyes, there's been suggestions you've made to improve when you've seen the need.

[viral coral]

I'm only saying to add isogen 2* and 3* outside territories as well

[granite zenith]

never to outright change the game... to work within the existing parameters yes

[viral coral]

dafuq?

I didn't say get rid of territories

[modern estuary]

probably all thatis really needed is to add a few more TC systems to the map to allow for more alliances

[viral coral]

What's wrong with adding nodes outside territories?

More territory systems would also be great

but at the very least, add nodes outside territories for gods sake

It's not like it's going to hurt the game play or change in so drastically that it's a completely different game

[novel hollow]

well i'd say adding badges everywhere outright changed the game...

[viral coral]

Yeah but @granite zenith seems to be under the impression that what I'm suggesting is outright madness

like what's the big deal here?

if it's too much trouble to add 2* and 3* isogen outside territories then that's an issue

This is a mobile game, not a job

a majority of players on our server are in game for 8+ hours a day

[abstract gate]

Please tell that to devs. I don't think they are aware 😂

[modern estuary]

one possible solution is to add those into the deeper ECP systems that are beyond the high level muddmada systems. apart from 2 missions those systems are completely useless right now

[viral coral]

just adding them to existing systems like they did with Rogue space would do the trick

creating an impassable feature in the game unless you meet certain requirements that are dictated by the players themselves is bad design

[modern estuary]

put them here

[viral coral]

I've gotten by doing territory research because I buy packs, but they even limit the number of packs you can buy

so I'm at an impass in both the cash store and in game because of the community and situation with territories and alliances being full

and then there's the events that can only be done while having a captured territory

So not only am I paying to support the game yet still at a disadvantage, but I'm less inclined to support the game because this has been a progressive trend with the game and now it looks like the future of the game will be nothing but a whales game which unless you spend tens to hundreds of thousands of $, you just can't play

Sure you can play the mining and other basic features

but you miss out on a lot of features and just feel bad because you can't play those features

I see quite a few here who say, "oh well, i'm having a great time because I'm in that group that gets to experience all these features", and don't think or care about anyone else or take into consideration the play experience for others who aren't able to experience, participate, or succeed in those features

[novel hollow]

i'll say though Jesse while i understand your frustration your server seems unique.

[viral coral]

I've gotten used to being let down by this game, so I'm not even upset, I just wanted to share a concern of mine and hope it'll get back to the developers

but also was looking to see what others would suggest here

[merry harbor]

Fix. The. Lag.

[dense ocean]

If those players are being smashed right on entry by WHALES then WHERE is the FAIRNESS ? where are the points then ???
those coalitions are so over-match against any alliance working alone that it is almost impossible to take territory.

[weak copper]

Damn those Welsh 😂

[dense ocean]

lol sry 😄

[nova valley]

i think you kinda just pointed out one problem with yoru strategy.... "alliance working alone...." if the current environment conditions are that of you competing against a bunch of coalition alliances, then you need your own coalition/deal/group to help you out. step 1. put on your policito shoes.

[dense ocean]

But "the cake has already been eaten", if you know what I mean. Big Alliances have already formed coalitions. And against them any other coalition having low lvl players simply can't compete.

The rest of the server is merely watching how these tc aliances grow faster than before (those having p2w players of course)

The only good event I saw was ISO mining for the past 2 days as it gave more points for iso1 than for iso2 or iso3, of course mining iso in TC zones is way faster.

[viral coral]

yeah we had a server war that lasted 4 months and 20+ alliances were smacked by a single alliance

and then a lot merged together and formed the top 10 which they're all controlling who gets what territory

and when we do a territory takeover, it's not just one alliance, we bring in other alliances to help with the takeover, but that's not enough even

[pastel flower]

was a grind before Tc which people out up with.. games not even fun anymore with top 10% in territory just getting further out of touch every second

[abstract gate]

So annoying that basically most events for store credits are 25+ only i haven't had credits in day's

I want to buy sh*t

[dense lantern]

New players are always screwed over, it's a great business model 🤣

[knotty niche]

For Galactic Takecover how are the points calculated for T3 takeover.. what is the math ?

[granite zenith]

it appears to be X * 5000
where X= number of people in the alliance over lvl 25 with territories unlocks
with the condition of you have to win

[soft plank]

If I gain rep to the next tier will I see that ship bp in the event store or is it locked where I was when it started?

[potent crown]

For all the level 27s

[drifting briar]

What did you get?

[potent crown]

I don't know the exact numbers before and after

I would guess around 30k ish, roughly

[drifting briar]

Tritanium?

[potent crown]

@drifting briar no, the event store credits

I'm assuming they gave everyone first place rewards

[drifting briar]

Oh damn I’ll submit a ticket then lol

I got first place on my own, maybe I’ll get double lol

[potent crown]

The second event, or in the first

[drifting briar]

Second. Didn’t place in the first

[potent crown]

They are giving ALL 27-28 first place in first event, and then it was up to you to place in second event. I got 2nd place, and the first place reward as you see

So yes, you get double per Ares announcement

[drifting briar]

Interesting

Thanks for the heads up

[potent crown]

np

[wintry elk]

Is the Mirror, Mirror Mission being available to purchase multiple times a goof, or are we supposed to just run through it 4 times (if you buy it in the Event Store)?

[potent crown]

If you wanna run it 4 times, go ahead. but that up to you

[wintry elk]

But there's nothing else to do with the tokens, right?

[potent crown]

Literally buy every single event ship

WDYM, there is a whole store

Officer tokens, vidar and discovery upgrade parts...

[wintry elk]

I mean, once you buy the Mirror, Mirror event, it gives you 40 tokens; the only thing to buy them with is the Mirror, Mirror event?

[potent crown]

Ah, yes

[wintry elk]

k, thanks

[potent crown]

There will be a thing that pops up in your gift shop to spend them on to start the mission

[wintry elk]

Yep, got that

[winter pagoda]

Business as usual mission pack let’s you do the “pick your faction” chain again?

[signal hornet]

Did any L27 or L28 players get any sort of compensatory chest for the snafu with the pvp event? I have yet to see anything on my game. Meanwhile, Scopely's CS said "A compensation chest was added for all players affected". I most certainly did NOT see that happening yet

[amber prism]

Some have, it looks like you have to open a ticket to get it

[modest sundial]

I tried killing both swarm and ferengi traders but i get no points on thread deduction bp event...anyone has the same problem?

[granite pewter]

This is becoming a joke!! Friday 20.00 I purchased the battle pass elite pack....still no resolution or effort to answer...I've given purchase and account details...this is rediculess.

[remote sky]

I am currently level 30. If I now level up to 31 will I then have Intrepid blueprints appearing in the event store and if yes how much do they cost?

I have 1,2 million fed reputation so I I am not yet able to buy them in the fraction store

[dense lantern]

Why at level 35 do the top 10 only get rewards, yet at 29 the top 40 players get rewards?

[robust vapor]

you get 10?! Only top 7 for mine.

[dense lantern]

Request a refund directly from apple/google.

[granite pewter]

I guess I may have too..but I purchased that pack to progress..it's the best value by far.

Thank you for the comment though.

[abstract gate]

@granite pewter get a full rrfund from Google and apple like he said and buy the battle pass again i bought mine few hours ago had no problems

Refund***

[sage basalt]

Where are the TC Armadas?

[devout spade]

Is there a place to see the event scheduled for the complete battle pass?

[warped patrol]

Anyone know when the next iss jelly event starts?

[brittle gale]

Can anyone offer me a reasonable explanation on why Scopely is rewarding players with completely useless items?

[lucid nacelle]

If you have already completed business as usual jewel can you do it again if you purchase the mission in the event store or is it just gonna be you already completed it and wasted tokens?

[neat owl]

I'm actually glad abt getting G1 interceptor parts cuz that was the 1 ship type not available for G1 ships 😂

[brittle gale]

@lucid nacelle if you buy the mission chain again, you'll get to redo the chain and receive the rewards again, from my understanding.

@neat owl I can't wait, it'll probably be OP and special ship bonus is mining something.

[neat owl]

😂

It always used to feel off when I scrolled past the G1 components in my inventory 😅

[brittle gale]

If I could actually use them, I wouldn't be irked. As is, why offer completely unusable rewards?
Why not offer me some in game toilet paper or a free hot cocoa from a replicator?

[lucid nacelle]

Tyty

[supple haven]

What are we considering best value for event store? I'm eyeing spore drive, but seems spendy?

[signal hornet]

IMO event/specialty ships you don't have yet, then spore drive comps and/or officers, depending if you already have georgiou or tyler IMO

[amber prism]

Vidar is the best value if you dont have it

[nova valley]

offfffficers. and vidar if you don't have it. and stella if you dont' have that.

[tawny elm]

2 stellas if you can

[opaque sandal]

So has anyone had stella bps vanish from event store? I got bps for discovery, vidar, and stella. But only stella has disappeared from event store today. It was still there yesterday. Was gonna get a second set of bps. Today i have the credit and no stella. Yet other two ship purchases with no limits are both there?

[nova valley]

@opaque sandal wha'ts your ops level?

and you bought one complete stella. but wanted to buy a second and it disappeared, right?

[potent crown]

@nova valley I had franklin disappear from the event store when I went from ops 27 to 28. any way to get that back?

[nova valley]

probably not today @potent crown but i'll add it to my liste for my monday meeting ok? i've been seeing some 28 ops issues regarding stella. i'll add your franklin to the list.

[potent crown]

Thanks. I did get stella just fine

it showed up in store at 28

[tough nova]

@opaque sandal @nova valley we have a lvl 28 in my alliance that also doesn't have stella bps available in his event store, not having built one yet. Any info would be appreciated

[opaque sandal]

@nova valley I’m ops level 29. I got a full set of stella bps and the discovery the night before last. I started building discovery right away. I was away from game for a while so i still have to do the research to build stella and not there yet. Then yesterday i was debating on getting second set of stella bps and finish vidar bps set. I chose to do the vidar first and then was gonna purchase second set of stella bps today after getting last of the event store tokens i needed. But today it is gone from my store. I know the stella had no limits on bps as well as discovery and the vidar. But those other two are still there and only the stella has gone.

[tough nova]

I pulled a full set of stella prints from my event store, and it disappeared from the store when I built it.

[tepid agate]

Get a disco. Get a 2nd disco.

Get the large cultivated pack

Disco best ship in game hnds down.

[stone grail]

Why on earth would you want or need 2 of them?

[tough nova]

Disco would be my last choice

[weak gust]

To summon the 2nd Stella 🤣

[tepid agate]

summon ship to station raid, insta warp survey home.

long distance raiding instantly

[tough nova]

Sure, but a second is pointless

[tepid agate]

i have found do much amusement with 2

i don;t like dying, so i am constantly warping out my ships instead of letting them kill them

it may seem pointless, untill you actually have 2 and use them at same time

then you will wonder why you didnt do it sooner lol

leave your 2nd at tier 1 lvl 1

is for pulling ships home if your main is on a warp trail

[tough nova]

I just find the cost of upgrading them is way more than they're worth. Lvl 28 here, so summoning is a ways away.

[tepid agate]

agreed, only need to level 1

[tough nova]

I guess the lvl 1 one would be a cheaper repair though

[tepid agate]

my t1 lvl 1 has 65 warp atm

lvl 41 ops

71 warp on the main

without scotty

Disco is only ship that grows with you

and will get you to dark space sooner then any other ship

seriously dont over look it

[tough nova]

Fair enough, I'll keep it in mind

[crisp zinc]

Anyone else missing the Redux missions after claiming it? Never started for me and I don't see it listed anywhere, even after several restarts

[ember harness]

whats yalls opinion on lorca

i think hes pretty good

[minor loom]

How are we supposed to regularly actually play these Territory Captures if frequently the lag gets unplayably bad?
Just now i experienced:
*Delay in command response
*Ships flying right through their targets not engaging combat
*Ships flying away from my target, ships landing on the target, sitting idle for 30s+, never engaging combat
*ship combat taking 37s or more.

Happens on server 32 FREQUENTLY

[kind olive]

@minor loom Be clear, are you complaining about this?

[minor loom]

@kind olive yes. And you guys being contenders should have first dibs at system entry

[kind olive]

@minor loom Or were you complaining about this?

[minor loom]

You got video. Nice.

@kind olive , tcs seem rather unfair if you cannot actually battle when you are competing for the system

[kind olive]

@minor loom I don’t know, you sure something is wrong here?

[unique quiver]

Anyone know where you get Prime Particles

[dapper drum]

store

[unique quiver]

Thank you. Found it there

I thought those were old prime packs 🙈😂😂

[wise widget]

would this be a good forum to post for improvements for the Devs to see and understand?

I've tried in game and silence/ignroe

[abstract gate]

So, the Anomalous Phenomenon event won't credit anything on server 13.

Anyone else seeing that

[carmine lily]

you hunting in the right systems?

[lucid echo]

Why such a difference in support response? I still didnt receive my compensation

[lucid echo]

And there has been no announcement in discord about problems with or when the compensation might come out.

[ember harness]

Damn. I wrote a Ticket too, no Response skf af

So far

[abstract gate]

Anybody knows what Lorca is good at?

[cloud grail]

yep he is awesome at makin you Spend. boy.. SSSSSPend. his officer ability was live tested to be b b b b r o k e n

BTW the Event Timer for Latinum Rush still Delays its start a few seconds. Started that way after Territories was launched.

[lofty isle]

Business as usual mission chain...good for faction credits or not?

[sharp vigil]

On server 140, the levels are not limited in Latinum rausch, e.g. level 23 and 31 in a list, please fix that

[elfin jewel]

Has there been any updates on the compensation promised to lv 27-28 players last week

[tender isle]

Привет! Подскажите. На 22лвл что из: северная звезда, двор, Франклин, стоит брать половину чертежей сейчас в магазине событий, если остальные чертежи покупать за деньги не планирую. Т.е. можно ли остальное самому собрать что либо?

[abstract gate]

@carmine lily yes. It was apparently patched to prevent the summon from working period. Third or fourth event that they biffed that portion.

[viral coral]

has anyone used the Sarcophagus ship yet and have any feedback or advice about it? Wondering just how effective it is in a territory takeover and if it's worth the $200 or not

ah cool, I'm wondering about the effectiveness as well, would like to get it if it's actually something that's better than using my Enterprise

[modest oyster]

Don't do it.

[viral coral]

Yeah, the territory capture has been fun, but it's a bummer when you don't win every time you've tried lol

Last takeover we were met with this...

[keen ledge]

I've seen pros and cons so far. It's miserably slow, as you would expect, but it makes my Augur look fast which is an accomplishment. So IF you can get it to a node (summoning helps), it's ok. It punches up for its size. But it will not hold off a G3 epic, at least not at the tier I can get mine to. And it takes 3 different currencies (including 1 specifically for repairs, and you only get enough of that for maybe 2 repairs per day).

[viral coral]

ouch

[deep blade]

@twilit imp did any ops 27-28 ever get compensation chest for the war without, war within event?

[viral coral]

that's pretty wild with the repairs, but i guess it makes sense to prevent abusing the ship, for balance purposes

[deep blade]

because i sure never received any after all my pts got reset and mats were wasted

[viral coral]

@keen ledge Thanks for the detailed feedback! That's good knowledge

[keen ledge]

Correct. The intent is not to flood systems with it. I think with some small changes and really solid crewing, it could be helpful. But it is gated by ops so mine won't help that much for a while.

[elfin jewel]

Nothing yet, would be nice if we could get an update though.

[chrome rune]

Harrison is almost a must have for it imho.
Can kill maxed G3 epics quite good at tier 5/6 with it.

[keen ledge]

I'd agree. Sadly, mine is not T5 or 6, but Harrison still makes it much better.

[vocal wren]

Jelly, soon???

[potent crown]

@elfin jewel @deep blade I had to message support to get my 28 chest. They credited it to my balance

[viral coral]

Ah good deal, so it can possibly handle a maxed g3 epic, although ith how territory wars happen, it wouldn't be useful with a limited amount of repairs lol. Would die at least 40 times

[shrewd totem]

It can kill some low tier 4g unc fac ships at T7 with decent crew but takes a ton of stuff to get there and slow impulse makes it almost impossible to reach a node

[keen ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/normal-day-lame-tortoise-slow-motion-gif-14355433

[deep blade]

i messaged them but was told it would be coming. never got anything. Will message again

thx

[keen ledge]

I actually counted - it took 20 seconds longer than my Augur to get halfway across a system.

It was comical.

[warped stag]

😬

[keen ledge]

bright side - Augur seems WAY faster now

[viral coral]

lol that's one way to look at it, "Things were bad before, now they're worse, so now it's not so bad" xD

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-have-you-ever-felt-so-alive-running-turtle-sonic-the-hedgehog-gif-16741416

[keen ledge]

The gist seems to be: It is decent. It does punch up. But you need to to get to T5+ for it to really withstand the types of ships you're worried about. And you have limited repairs. Oh, and yes, you need your Disco now.

[shrewd totem]

With Pan,you wont be effectively killing anything above lvl32 ships unless you have a whale size sarcophagus sadly

Me, yelling at my game

[viral coral]

I anyone could convince digit to switch from JSON to binary, i think a lot of our lag issues would be solved, especially since territory takeover is too demanding for JSON in its current state. Every takeover theres hundreds of ships battling and that causes it to make capture nodes unclickable and even attacking.

[keen ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-lower-decks-beckett-mariner-star-trek-lower-decks-gif-18815712

[shrewd totem]

If they listened us,game would be a lot more player centered rather than $,but sadly they dont

[viral coral]

Well this is in the realm of neither player or money, although it would save them money considering the data costs would drop tremendously per each server they're hosting on AWS

they could reduce the byte size tremendously by like 1/32 of what they're currently using

[warped stag]

But but impulse...... 😶

[viral coral]

so they're saving a potential 97% of their current operating costs just by switching to binary

[warped stag]

Still need to watch lower decks.

[viral coral]

maybeif someone presented them with numbers they'd see how much better it would be for business

[thin bloom]

They do seem to fix bug/features that benefit players pretty quickly. Warping regularly instead of black alerting comes to mind ;)
Ssst don't tell anyone, but people are abusing the lag by flooding the system before take overs :p

[viral coral]

I'd totally offer my help in fixing the networking in the game if they'd let me lol

[shrewd totem]

I doubt their team understands most of the stuff you are saying😅. We have very easy to fix officers from day 1 and it has been more than 2 years now. Dont expect anything from Devs that doesn't even bother to fix those small issues that can be done in a day at most

[elfin jewel]

Yeah I did that this morning since we've heard nothing

[viral coral]

Well, can't argue with that, oh well, was worth a shot lol

[shrewd totem]

Even Lorca is bugged and that is super new auction only officer.....

[viral coral]

oh yeah got him on my second account, he's awesome

haven't looked through the battle logs yet, but from the results, he seems awesome

[shrewd totem]

He only activates for 1 round instead of 2 sadly.....

Shows how much" testing" they are doing 🤦🏻‍♂️

[viral coral]

ohhh, well that's a shame, i was able to take on 1.7M saladins with my second accounts 1.3M saladin using him with burnham

Well could be it worked fine in their test environment, but the public servers didn't quite get the memo

idk, they probably have configuration files for each server that could be the reason it's goofy on different servers

[minor loom]

It would also be great if they'd address the lag making highly contested taleovers unplayable

[viral coral]

@minor loom yeah, we were just talking about that

[minor loom]

We've had members tied up in battle for 13 minutes

[viral coral]

oh dang, i thought I had it bad with 3min battles xD

[shrewd totem]

I would expect an officer to work same in both environments🤔. Hit a hostile,check battle report-boom found the bug. It isnt rocket science after all👀 or just use one of the dead servers as your live testing environment or use volunteers. So many ways to improve that and would cost absolutely nothing to them

[viral coral]

you're absolutely right about that

[minor loom]

Yesterday our tc ally trying for a capture couldnt send ships in cause it said systems were fuml

Full

[shrewd totem]

Yeah that is super annoying

[minor loom]

As much fun as it is helping, id almost suggest they make territory space to where your alliance must own it, or actively trying to capture it to enter

[stark marsh]

Normally on event store arcs, we get a daily win of event store currency...... why on this one do we have 3 day leaderboards for us to fight over...... well, very little actually?

[shrewd totem]

A few of us(mods) did suggested limiting it to only those who paid fee but not sure if they will do anything about it

[minor loom]

At times we will have 12+ alliances entering the dog fight to help 1 of 2 groups

Or limit helpser groups to 1 ship per person

[serene tree]

When starts the next iss Jellyfish event?

[keen ledge]

No one here knows.

[serene tree]

Should be monthly... All would like it

[viral coral]

wow, so if this has any merit, if each user uses about 4.63GB per month and lets say there's about 1,000 players on a server, since they're using AWS, it's $0.12/GB. so they may be spending around $55,000/month just hosting a server. So if they switched to binary, theyd cut that bandwidth by 96% and they'd save $53-54K a month on hosting a single server.

those numbers don't seem extremely likely as to what they're spending probably, but it still would save them money and make players happy if they fixed the networking by using binary instead of JSON.

[lucid echo]

Is there an update on level 27/28 comp chests for pvp event? I put in a ticket about not receiving it and they told me to check discord but i see others put tickets in and received the compensation. I put in a 2nd ticket but would rather not have to wait another 3 days for a response.

I dont see any announcement about it

[dapper drum]

do you have prime announcements

[viscid sinew]

@viral coral A game "server" is not one server, it's not how it works.

[fresh sundial]

Anyone else having problems getting to the second part of cornered animals

[viral coral]

@viscid sinew was just an example

[kind olive]

It'd actually be hard to implement, because all you have to do is flood the system beforehand and then how do you get people out?

[timber granite]

Maybe grey out attack button until fee is paid

[dapper drum]

still doesn't solve the problem of over capacity systems

can't takeover a territory if you can't get in because someone has friends sitting around taking up space and lagging the whole thing out

[indigo perch]

@shrewd totem even in the dueling days, the duelers brought a second.....

[minor loom]

Just bought Prime Lag. Research causes lag for everyone else during a takeover event.

[hasty delta]

@twilit imp Ok, so regarding the change with the second mission chain. What will happen when I finish my Battlepass tomorrow and get the missions? Are they going to work?

I have finished the first chain.

The news was unclear about when the fix would be applied or when the change would happen.

[worthy gull]

it's pretty clear - this was a fix to prevent players who haven't finished the first chain from starting the 2nd

but it hoses everyone who already finished the first chain since we won't be able to get the "extra" 5 keys from the last mission

[lavish jolt]

When will the capture lag be addressed? We either need more server resources dedicated to handle the load or we need the number of participants limited. Captures are not pvp. They are about which alliance can drive a realta around for 30-60 minutes. If you can actually get in system, and if you can actually get the ships to load on the screen, and if you can actually target a ship, and if that ship is perfectly still, you may just be lucky enough to tie your ship up in battle for a few minutes.

[wheat tinsel]

@twilit imp and what about us that already finished the first 10 missions

We will never been able to open the new ones due to the lack of the 5 keys

[worthy gull]

exactly

[lucid echo]

I 2nd captain spock and rastric.

[dapper drum]

you will get the mission in a chest soon™️

[fierce niche]

Anyone noticed that the Discovery Missions give 1 star ship parts?

[hasty delta]

They said in the news that they would send 5 extra keys to players that had already done the missions so that we could run the second chain. but if they don't change it to 25 before I get my 20 tomorrow I am running the missions.

[lost mist]

Yes, I looked it up on LCARS. Other than for building a low level ship to scrap it, I can't think of anything else they are useful for, so I have no idea why they are rewarding them for missions that require Level 25.

[fierce niche]

There are no 1 star interceptors for those parts to be used.

[lost mist]

You are correct, then in that case I don't even understand why there are 1* interceptor parts in the game at all...🤔

Does anyone know if there are meant to be more missions after the Mirror, Mirror chain?

[lost mist]

Or the 5 keys in a chest soon.

[abstract gate]

@lost mist 1* ship parts for low level players but the mission is level 25 so yeah it's pointless at that level

[outer herald]

Please add ISS Jelly to event store.

[lost mist]

But as FalloutDad said, there are no 1* Interceptors, so no purpose in 1* Interceptor parts.

[neat owl]

Should be weekly... Its been a year since it came out and a lot are reaching 36ish

[lost mist]

@twilit imp I have some confusion over missions. Patch 25 says there will be 20 main Mirror Universe missions but the "Reflection" chain and the "Mirror, Mirror" chain only gave 16 missions altogether?

[lost mist]

@twilit imp Will the North Star be in the Event Store at all?

[abstract gate]

@lost mist it is in the event store only 45 blueprints

[desert laurel]

what level are you?

[lost mist]

@abstract gate That would give me 68 out of 90. Hmmm, don't see the North Star. I see the Franklin, the Botany Bay, the Discovery, the D'Vor, the Vi'Dar and the Mayflower. The little Jellyfish was there but I got all the BP's it would give me so it's gone and the Hijacked D3 was also there and I get the max of 40 BP's from that too so it's also gone.

@desert laurel 25

I only just completed the North Star missions a few days ago.

I could really do with a better Survey ship, my old Envoy just doesn't cut it anymore.

[abstract gate]

U get Horizon at level 26

For free in research

[lost mist]

Nope, Horizon at Ops Level 27, Shipyard Level 26. That's about 6 months or more away for me yet.

[desert laurel]

for one levell? that's a slow pace

[abstract gate]

6 months why

[desert laurel]

what level are @abstract gate ? just curious what range NS is avail in the event store

[lost mist]

Level 25 is going to take me at least 2 more months, with 24 researches that all take more than 2 days.

[abstract gate]

@desert laurel level 22 in 1 day so basically level 21 right now

[lost mist]

And that is with doing all buildings to one level below and all available research, except for Primes?

[desert laurel]

the pacing is too slow, skip buildings and research you don't need

[lost mist]

Need all of them

[desert laurel]

the event store is here til the 4th, and you should try to get the goodies out of it or you need to wait for 3+ more months for the next one

the stella opens at 28, and if you don't get it now your research in that tree are stuck for awhile

[abstract gate]

@lost mist no disrespect but that's way to slow 6 months i understand if u have a job and kids

[lost mist]

Nothing to do with the amount of time playing.

It's the length of time it takes for stuff to complete. Researches basically 2.5 days each, I have over 30 to complete for this level, done all Combat and all Station.

30 researches at 2 days is two months and you can only do one at a time.

But it shows, my power level is much higher than others at the same Ops level as me because I get it done.

I'm sure a lot of it is because of my OCD but I love completeness. For instance I hate empty boxes not filled out in forms.😆

[desert laurel]

well, that's gonna hurt you because the NS is probably level-locked and no longer in any of your event stores

[lost mist]

I have three kids but they don't live with me. I haven't had a job for about 2 years. Not one that pays money anyway.

I just got the Kumari because you have to be Ops 25 and the NS is above that.

So it should be at my current level.

It's a 3*, not a 2 star

[desert laurel]

I heard the community got the jellyfish put in, maybe if you raise the issue enough you'll be able to get the NS too

[lost mist]

Hopefully.

I want to have one of everything.:)

Oh well, now we know why it's called the Sarcophagus...because it's a death trap. From Havana: "To repair Sarcophagus you need the new resource called Fortified Baaconite

This item appears in your Territory Store section as a gift box and can be collected once per day.

So be careful about letting your ship get destroyed, because your crew will be stuck in Sarcophagus until you get enough Baaconite to repair it."

[abstract gate]

Don't say I didn't warn you 😂

[lost mist]

@abstract gate Baaconite sounds yummy though, especially with Egggs. I wonder if you can count your 6 degrees of separation with it...like Kevin Baacon.😆

[abstract gate]

We already call it Bacon... No point in adding unused letters... 😂😂😂

And yes, it does sound yummy! 😂

[lost mist]

@abstract gate Yeah, does "Fortified" mean it's been smoked or honeyed?

[abstract gate]

Smoked

It's purple-ish

😂🤣

Perfection!

Damn it. Now I'm hungry again... 🤣😂🤣🤣

[lost mist]

Is there a way to get in touch with the Devs?

[abstract gate]

Yes. Official email in #557163704383438850

Anyone know what the criteria is to have stella prints appear in the event store?

[desert laurel]

28

[pale cobalt]

ops 28 to build it but I think they appear in the event store at ops 27

[desert laurel]

we've had several people at 27 without stella in the event store, they got it when they hit 28

[pale cobalt]

Oh ok that's strange ship BPs normally appear one level lower

[desert laurel]

also, it's a 27 shipyard

maybe instead of -1, the programmers did +1

Event Si vis pacem,

Showed on my event list, i started it..then the event disappeared.
I restarted 4 times.
Some of my team mates report the same (disappeared)
Some can still see it.

Anyone else have issues with this event?

P.s. can't file a ticket with CS, i'm still in the middle of another conversation with them about an issue 🙈

[broken hawk]

@coral belfry me too

[tepid badger]

Where have the jellyfish events gone? Will they be back soon? Something planned for holiday event?

[languid cove]

This is.....insane lol

[neat garden]

Its excellent

Shame they dont do a similar thing for Ops 39's that is the ore equivalent, so we stand chance of upgrading our little ISS jellies

[warped stag]

There is mining monday that gives you ore. Also swarm, if I’m not mistaken. I just got upto warp 75 now for 42 dailies.

[neat garden]

this is the only event reward that gives me 4 star. everything else is 3 star

and although its great, its always gas

[willow pine]

21 drawings of the sarcophagus from three events "sarcophagus declares itself", 41 more drawings from the battle pass, where can I get 18 more?

[warped stag]

Quick, ops 40!

[flat fog]

Never ! 😅

it's a trap

[shrewd totem]

Yeah dont do it

[warped stag]

It is 🤣

Though, I must admit my generators are nearly all 40 already 👀

[shrewd totem]

Even lvl39 is a bad place because of recent changes to brackets. Now 39s compete with 40s in auctions

And not to mention reduced amount of rewards

[warped stag]

The common g4 is a kicker, basically one lvl 26 maxed & scrapped sees you over the line.

[shrewd totem]

It is more about par for me rather than 4g(as I already scrapped 2 lvl26 ships)

[warped stag]

True, par is a big requirement, though raiding will get you there with the longer build times.

All in good time.

[shrewd totem]

Raiding is a joke after lvl38ish and that constant tapping for hours can cause some health issues. I quit raiding when I saw I needed around 6b par for 38-39

[warped stag]

You mean like this @shrewd totem

[shrewd totem]

6b par is 7.2k clicks btw

Yeah it is just insane

60days left for ops39. As much as I would like to speed it for current Para bellum event but I am far away from being ready to ops39-40 road and compete with whales in events

[warped stag]

I don’t compete, I just plod along at my pace.

[flat fog]

Para event is nice, but still no G4 ore, so can't upgrade jelly without scrapping

[warped stag]

You get g4 ore from the mining Monday event. Here is my top tier as ops 40.

[flat fog]

yes, but that ops 40, I want to stay 39 for the moment

[shrewd totem]

Stop teasing us to go ops40 Harlii! It isnt happening 🤣

[neat garden]

same boat

[warped stag]

Then scrapping a mayflower or a legionary is the only source of g4 ore, in large quantities.

[brittle siren]

Did anyone get to spend these gauntlet tokens? I thought there was gonna be big rewards etc...I never saw a store for them..

[granite zenith]

the gauntlet tokens were the "reward" for winning 3 weeks of events which culminated in a PVP event in the 4th week
there was never a store advertised for them... nor rewards
the 50 people who got all 3 tokens were entered into the PVP leaderboard
Trust me... you didnt miss much by not getting the 3rd one

[nova valley]

gauntlet = 💩

[pale cobalt]

Gauntlet was an epic fail and hopefully it won't be repeated

[neat garden]

yeah another pvp event won by the fixers

[brittle siren]

Ah, I misunderstood that they were a “spendable” item. Thanks for the info.

[tepid agate]

raiding is indeed a challenge post 39. i will hit a base for an hour and leave to do somethign else lol. Little bit here, little bit there, and in a week i am pulling in some good RSS.

[white ember]

is the "rise of the sarcophagus event brroken? It isn't registering any kills i make

[pale cobalt]

There was a 5-10min delay on pts showing on my event

[white ember]

ah ok, thanks

[pale cobalt]

All kills registered correctly just delayed

[rough sentinel]

Ok scopely! This makes the second time you have shorted me exactly 2k in battle points on completing a daily event. You did it to me last time and again today. Now I will not be on schedule to complete the entire battle pass event because I will be playing catch up and not be able to make the last 2k in points for completion. . . That is officially lame, especially since I paid for the elite unlock and the extra battle points . QUIT SHORTING ME! IF YOU WERE A RETAILER, I' WOULD WANT MY MONEY BACK.

[granite zenith]

out of curiosity... how many total bp points do you currently have?

[pale cobalt]

Do you know what the pt deficit is this time round 290k to complete the battlepass but how many pts are actually available? storm knocked out my internet for 3 days so I'm 30k pts behind everyone else who have done all of the events so far, Is it still possible to complete without spending on a pts pack?

[granite zenith]

i have 125k

[pale cobalt]

I have 95k

30k behind because of that ruddy storm 😂

[granite zenith]

in the past... people have completed it while missing days... 🤷‍♂️

[pale cobalt]

Last month I think there was about 45k extra pts

I'm not exactly F2P nor am i a regular spender, really hoping there is enough of a deficit this month to complete without spending anymore money

[amber prism]

If you've simply completed each daily event you have hit the point in the battle pass that it takes about 2 days to move a spot

Still plenty of time to complete it

[rough sentinel]

At the end of today's event, I have 159000 out of 161000. Now according to the math from yesterday, today's event should have earned me enough to 161000

That's even after I bought the unlock and the additional battle points

$75 spent and still burnt and behind the per day quota needed to complete the entire event

This exact thing happened to me the last monthly event.

Scopely, I work for my money and just can't keep tossing money into something that shorts me . Man up and fix my 2k deficit

[dreamy fog]

@rough sentinel most of us have 125k points. I never buy points packs , and always finish on time with plenty in the tank.

I’ve not even bought the battle pass yet, but I will on the next disco officer event to drop the Lorca shards.

I’m not sure what you’re counting, but please don’t go full Karen.

[robust vapor]

Your numbers don't make sense either, I can see 20k and 50k packs in store; so it looks like you're 16k short, are you sure you didn't miss a day or fail to complete a couple somewhere?..

[rough sentinel]

I'm not 100% sure if I missed a day, but I have bought the booster pack to cover if I did miss a day. Now I'm not going Karen, I'm just venting and addressing a consern in the math that I am seeing. Now I could be completely wrong with the math, but am 90 to 95% positive on my calculations. However,if I am wrong, then I'm an ID10T and apologize for being stupid... That's if my math is wrong..... Either way, in the grand scheme of things, it is a game and it doesn't really matter that much to go postal over.

[dreamy fog]

It seems you’ve either missed a day or simply not hit the last tier in an event or 2. As it stands, you’re ahead and on course to finish the BP before f2p and players who don’t buy points packs. So you aren’t losing out unless you have 3-4 days of not playing

[rough sentinel]

On another note, what happened to the second mission chain for this event? I know that I got the unlock in the battle pass, but after I opened the mission window, it never made it to my mission log . Is that a known issue or something else?

[dreamy fog]

And even then, there’s normally 5 more days in which points are scored for free

The second mission chain I believe is unlockable from the event store

Something about 5 additional keys, if you already unlocked it it will be available in a few days . It’s in announcements

[rough sentinel]

Thanks for letting me know and slapping some sense into me. I do need that every now and then.

So it was supposed to be 25 instead of the 20 In the battle pass?

[dreamy fog]

It was originally 20 but if it was unlocked before the first one was completed it wouldn’t unlock properly

So to avoid that they’ve added 5 more keys to the mission reward of mission 1, as a token for the event store to pull mission 2

[rough sentinel]

Is that ingame announcements or here in discord... I'm a little ocd on the missions... Old gaming habits.

[dreamy fog]

I think I saw it on news earlier in game

[rough sentinel]

I don't like to pick up new missions without completing the one before it.. just in case there was something i in the 1st mission critical to the next one. I've screwed myself in more than one game doing that, so I make sure to do them one at a time in order

[dreamy fog]

No worries, there’s still plenty of time on the mission milestone event anyway. If you want to peek at the chain and what’s involved, Lcars will have the answer

!miss “insert mission name”

!miss “insert mission name” chain

[rough sentinel]

By the way, are you going to bring the tribbles back? What about other ship classes like the excelsior class, or the akira class or any of the 1701 b thru e classes? Or the next generation ships? What about the Dominion or the cardassians?

[dreamy fog]

I’m not a scopely employee, just a dummy injecting cash into them

[rough sentinel]

Aw... Still cool to talk to you about the game.

The developers never want to talk

[dreamy fog]

I believe they’ve teased TOS content for the next arc

This arc has a TOS frame. It’s usually a hint of what’s coming next

[rough sentinel]

Ooooh...do I hear a planet killer off in the distance? I loved that episode.

[dreamy fog]

Not sure. But I would have liked a DS9 tie in where you could get a space station in your territory space that shoots intruders on sight

[rough sentinel]

Yes! That means tholans and the other minor races. When do you suppose the next gen will be introduce

[dreamy fog]

Tng is popular so realistically I’d say q2 of 2021

[rough sentinel]

Cause I'm trying to collect all the fed ships. It'd be nice to have the excelsior class and an ambassador class for the 1701 continuiry

[dreamy fog]

The problem they have is making content fit. Ops 50 already has the ent A

[rough sentinel]

Well the 1701 b is an excelsior class and the 1701 c is an ambassador class.... I'm a complete trekkie so I follow really closely to the universe

[dreamy fog]

All the new arc stuff is g3. G4 is a mess. Best they could do is compensate g4 players , remove it and put themselves into a continuity scenario that works

[rough sentinel]

Played a lot of st online until my pc went boom

[dreamy fog]

But no doubt they will double down, increase the cap to 75 , introduce g5 and ent D/ voyager

[rough sentinel]

Personally I think that the g3 is okay but the refinery ratios suck terribly and the cooldown is rediculous.

Why have a cooldown timer on the refinery at all?

[dreamy fog]

I do agree set returns on the refinery would be better. Even if they are low, with no cool down

So like 100k raw gets guaranteed 2 uncommon etc

[rough sentinel]

Besides, with the advent of replicators in the next generation,the g3 and refinery are obsolete

[quartz mauve]

What happens to those that have completed the way out mission and will be unable to get the keys necessary to unlock the second mission chain?

[dreamy fog]

The second mission chain will be sorted within a few days, check your in game news for the details

[rough sentinel]

I try to only run the 12kbso I'm not so disappointed when 12k goes in and maybe 50 common under 25 uc and maybe under 10 rare comes out.

[quartz mauve]

Seen the in game news it says you will need 5 extra keys from the way out mission. I have already completed the way out mission and will be unable to get those keys

[rough sentinel]

It's like they're using 25 yr old d20s to get the end result. Alk the sides are rounded and the numbers are worn off

[dreamy fog]

Have you unlocked mission 2 and it’s disappeared?

[rough sentinel]

Nice. Yes.

[quartz mauve]

No I have not got enough battle points to unlock the second mission chain

[rough sentinel]

2 days ago

[dreamy fog]

I suspect that might be a common problem then, they will likely just do a comp chest or something in a few days

[rough sentinel]

I entered it into my gifts page and it went poof!

All gone

[dreamy fog]

If they can’t get it fixed, most likely just comp the rewards / autocomplete for event completion. Wouldn’t worry about it

They do have the ability to make starting a mission dependent on another mission completion tho. So likely just code that in before you can accept mission 2 with the comp keys

Could also add it free to the battle pass a few days down the line, loads of options

[rough sentinel]

Cause itd be nice to be able to get all the sarcophagus bps before my alliance fries for a territory.. we're mid level and the whale alliances on our setver have pretty much carved out massive amounts of territory and hold on to it well, because they're whales and it's kinda hard to beat an alliance with mostly 40+ players with 20 mil ships

My alliance hasn't even had a chance to try for even the dinky systems... The whales have 75 to 90 of the systems locked up

I'm a 35 but I bouce off 20 mil ships

[dreamy fog]

We try to get the smaller alliances at least one territory on our server

[rough sentinel]

Our server has some really selfish whales

[dreamy fog]

Just a matter of diplo really. We were asked to help a small alliance defend a territory from the third alliance on the server. It’s all good

[rough sentinel]

So they get what they want and screw Everyone 6

[dreamy fog]

Wish it was that way on my server tbh lol

[rough sentinel]

We haven't been asked for assistance yet. I think that my alliance has a little reputation for being pirates and fighers

[dreamy fog]

But we generally have decent relationships on our server

Well, if you’re looting and pissing off whales, there’s your answer 😉

[rough sentinel]

Oh we get along, we just know not to poke that tiger ..

[dreamy fog]

Anyone who loots my miners gets a hard time for a while

[rough sentinel]

We've never adhered to any roe or anything like that, but we're not a zombie horde

[dreamy fog]

Roe is ok , to a point. I see too many just assuming “rules” will save their ass from dead ships and smashed bases

[rough sentinel]

On our server, it's always about the mine not the miner. People use a roe to justify taking a mine or anything op... I hate getting hit because some jackass said that op is a Target.

[dreamy fog]

Yeah I’ve never agreed with opc being the basis of miner kills. In fact I never actually hunt opc but many do . That’s why I go nuclear if someone hits me

[rough sentinel]

Why bother Even having a 50k cargo hold when you only get to fill a fouth of it?

[dreamy fog]

uh try a maxed g3 with stonn, 3.29m lol

[rough sentinel]

I only kill miners on a zero. Op means that dude is working. A zero is a squatter. Taking up the mine

If I'm on a zero I'm slipping And send me home. But if someone hits me for op I will hit you right back.

[dreamy fog]

I better head for now finish up some grinding and get to bed

Those 1 b locks don’t come easy

[rough sentinel]

I get hate mail because of the"roe" but I reply with do you really want to start a war right here and now over a payback kill?

[vague vessel]

Opc is opc, and zero node is zero node.

[floral trail]

I guess this is a pointless event..

[robust vapor]

not pointless, just for people that want to pay though

[floral trail]

So two people on our server... Inclusive then.. I guess some people pay for some reason

[robust vapor]

I think this is the second event. Looks like the first one bought the ship, the second one just upgrading it 🤔

[earnest hornet]

Its the second run, but its still the same as the first one, its a build/upgrade/use event

[robust vapor]

@earnest hornet sure, but the points reset. So one has just built it, the other already had it built, and it is possible that others may have built it during the first event without scoring in this one 🤷‍♂️

[earnest hornet]

yup totally, the points do reset, if you built in the first run, you wont get that for this one, only upgrade points etc

[robust vapor]

I know. My comment was in response to "So two people on our server". It doesn't really mean much.

[earnest hornet]

😄

[wispy cloud]

I wonder how many server territory look like mine not enough player/alliance to even fill the area in was looking forward to territory until I realised there is no battles for the zones

[winged tulip]

Our TC area is filled, 2 coalitions of alliances fighting for territory has left some safe areas and some regular attack fronts. It's really shaken up the server in a good way, but lag is the main complaint..

[restive inlet]

At least, we don’t have lags 🤣

[inland hamlet]

Can't work out on this event how 4th got 250k points only, did everyone suicide on his sarc during tc?

[torn fog]

Translation : prime refine for latinium : - cost 25% less get 50% more
Increase mining speed for d'vor
Modulator efficiency research
Impulsion speed for Franklin

If you look at your territory research tree they have changed some name

[winged tulip]

Nothing has changed in territory research for me - sure they didn't just forget to change some french translations?

[abstract gate]

his game is fubar

[torn fog]

Nah all peoples in my server got that

[robust vapor]

@torn fog it's a screw up with the translations, they have made a mess of some of them.. doesn't mean that there isn't or wasn't a plan, but what you're seeing is just another screw up by Scopely..

[torn fog]

Défense research that become increase mining for d'vor, good try dude

translation mistake lmao

[robust vapor]

Good try? Change your language settings to English and you'll have what I have 🤷‍♂️

Scopely literally mix up gas/crystal/ore and faction names in translation, if you think they're on the ball with this stuff you are mistaken..
Again though, can't say they don't have or had plans. It could be a planned upcoming addition or on an alternative set that they didn't go with, and then they put it in wrong. I mean you can see the picture on yours are not related to the text, and as pointed out in the other room they're not likely to make such drastic changes to the existing research (I don't think they've ever removed existing research and then replaced it, only added new ones).

[opal tree]

more like something in development phase that was discarded, and some translations were not corrected to reflect the changes.
too bad scopely doesn't have bugzilla to report bugs, or any tool for that matter. CS is not for bug reporting.

[robust vapor]

That would be "alternative set that they didn't go with" 😉
But yes, much more likely than a planned replacements of all of the existing research.

[opal tree]

I feel bad for those who don't understand english and think they are getting increased dvor mining rates tho 😂

[robust vapor]

And the people in CS who get asked about it? 😂

[weak gust]

What is your Server Name?

[fiery iron]

@twilit imp - quick q regarding Tilly mission chain #2. Saw news note about price increase to 25, and BP awards 20 - but I'd already done A Way Out before the 5 keys were added, so won't be able to access mission chain?

[unkempt pecan]

@twilit imp why no Uranium in the event store. You have Stella bps, but not its upgrade material. Every other ship in the event store has its upgrade material available. Please add! 🙏

[abstract gate]

Add COMMON G4 for poor 40-41 please

[mental yoke]

Where do I get the other 5 now?

[dire veldt]

@mental yoke check the latest post in the in game news

[mental yoke]

@dire veldt
I have already completed the a way out mission so will not receive the extra 5 for completing it. Also I have not tried to claim the mission prematurely so won’t have it gifted to me. Based on the news and what I’m seeing in the game I seem to be in no mans land in between.

[warm bobcat]

A lot of people in that situation and no answers so far

[dire veldt]

This has been raised with the team, mods will update once we have clarification

[dusky linden]

seriously, <@&509691205798592532> @twilit imp can we have a Harrison event soon, please? Not all of us could splash out on him and at least we have a chance with an auction

[earnest river]

Anyone know where the missing 5 are?

[viral coral]

Same where are the missing 5

[north pike]

Wow what a boring set of daily events - alliance help and pvp evemt mostly ruined as to rank you really need to have ship upgrades availble to spend trit! Territories - great recapture our 5 territories and should get a top 4 ranking.

But boring - another factio hunt please.

[viral coral]

5 short ???

[alpine lagoon]

Dito

[worthy gull]

PVP event systems don't line up with the event announcement

[wicked fog]

War Without, War Within PvP Event is seriously flawed. Players cheat using miners and discovery. Could be a fun event if the rules were better.

[worthy gull]

i'm ops 31, and last time, pvp event was in blys. nowit says Resara

[uncut bridge]

Same system as higher lvl players. Seriously scopely? Reading is fundamental and we all know many don't. Had my ships hit by highers that couldn't read

[lavish hinge]

Same. I'm seeing the 25-26 area is the same as the 27-28, so 28's are crushing 25's. WTF?!

[charred veldt]

Unable to redeem the mission
Even though I've enough tokens

[worthy gull]

event always let you kill any level player for pts

[worthy gull]

as long as you were within your own system

[carmine lily]

So no events today? No one plays the pvp cuz it’s a lb and people cheat.

[lavish hinge]

That's the problem, the 27-28's have the same system as the 25-26's. So the 25-26's can't participate because we're taking Sally's to our Kumari's.

[worthy gull]

check your event...you might be in the "wrong" system

[lavish hinge]

I am not in the wrong system

I can read

[carmine lily]

33-34 is bad too, 34s get epic ships 33s do not

[lavish hinge]

It's different than last week's, i'm not just going to the same system as last week's event.

Sorry, that line about reading was a little confrontational. Having a bad day. Apologies.

[worthy gull]

no worries

it's all messed up...scopley's fault

[carmine lily]

scopely: go play pvp. Players: THERE BE WHALES HERE!

[eager nimbus]

Great, finalized the first question series before the announce you should get 5 tokens at the final mission. Now I have 20 and can’t start the next one since I am missing 5........
When do we get the last five @twilit imp

[worthy gull]

wait...what system do you have this week?

[lavish hinge]

Er-Yozun

[opal holly]

29-30 got the same system as 33-34. Seriously?

[lavish hinge]

@worthy gull

[lavish hinge]

Last week it was Constina

[arctic marten]

29-30, 31-32, and 33-34 got the same system.... scoply has big brain put into this

[rocky sequoia]

You think that's bad, 35-36 37-39 and 40+ are all in Sirius 😂

[warm bobcat]

35/36 are in the same system as 44+ what a joke from Scopely

[tepid agate]

indeed
