So only grind points. I’d have had another 35k points for the armadas.

jovial crest
#

I calculated it based on sitting at a spawn site and a hostile spawns once every 5-6 seconds or so (if thats how long it takes) and getting like 270 points per hostile on average

abstract gate
#

Which would have placed me 5th when I woke up, not 18th

jovial crest
#

Only need 1 ship

#

It ain’t a competition to see who Scopely screwed the hardest 😆

#

Just to prove that the armada thing didn’t affect all players the same way.

#

I was early on the epics, which meant they didn’t reappear until after they’d fixed it.

#

Great job Scopely, event "faille 3" is end before 6pm

glass pilot
#

the reason the event ended 12 hours before the auction is so people will see they are not where they want to be, Go buy wesley and then make the points to place where they want. It was designed to sell wesley

novel hollow
glass pilot
#

he ended just as the armada event ended

cedar plinth
#

Honestly the armadas wasn't an issue, they were more a couple bonus points at best unless you were lower level and getting 9k points was an all day kind of thing, low 40s you would need to kill the new high level epics for it to be worth it.

The time searching for a new armada after the server hints then all slows grinding, people sitting for 15 min not getting points was dumb, I could grind faster then that

lilac musk
#

Uh. No they were an issue. A 36 epic armada was like 30k points... Blew quite a few of them when they weren't scoring which screwed up spawn timers etc

glass pilot
#

i think what he is saying is if you did not wait around for armadas you could make more points killing hostiles.

lilac musk
#

But realistically I had 2 ships farming hostiles with two ships doing armadas

#

If you had just one ship doing anything you weren't going to win anyways

cedar plinth
#

25k and in the 15 min it took for the timer to go down I could get more points then the armada would give in the same amount of time

cedar plinth
lilac musk
#

What? If you were killing solely level 41s it would take you 12 minutes to kill 60 hostiles to match an epic. That's if you didn't have to move your ship and hit one every 1 second between the 5 second cool down...

#

Oh you level 43 right. So you can hit dark space

#

Whale problems 🤷‍♂️

upbeat kestrel
potent tartan
#

Anyone at 42 and up could hit the lvl 46-47 systems and get 2-3000pts per hostile

cedar plinth
#

The spawn rate for epics and rares were still to high, by the time they fixed the issue they were all gone, leaving uncommon that were worth garbage points anyway

earnest hornet
upbeat kestrel
#

Personally, I am not upset about any of it, shit happens. But I was in 2 39 Epics and 4 39 UC before the issue was fixed

upbeat kestrel
#

I have a T4 Ent with T5 Hull plating, it takes me a full hull to kill 1 trader. I went to a klingon system in normal space with my two lower ships while I was hunting armadas, I swapped to deep space and did hostile killing after all the armads were dead and gone and teh issue was fixed

cedar plinth
#

How was the low 30s bracket split, were they in with 38/39s or 34/35s??

lilac musk
#

I did the entire thing just grinding in wolf and groombridge with my base in wolf at ops 35 weaving in armadas

upbeat kestrel
#

Our server literally killed every high level normal space armada in the time it took them to fix the issue

upbeat kestrel
lilac musk
#

My bracket was 35/36. It was different for this event for some reason

#

Usually it's 34-35

upbeat kestrel
#

It conclusion, the event itself was poorly planned, but wasn't a BAD event. The real problem was teh HUGE armada issue right at the start where 10s of 1000s of directives were spent in that first 2hrs. Those people that blew all thier directives soley for the event, got screwed

#

Personally, I spent 200UC directives, I just power bumped my way into the other armadas

formal birch
#

any info abou compensation chest?

cedar plinth
#

Ok so people that didn't have rpic ships weren't competing with people who could hit DS

Then it would have come down to how effectively they used crew, I'm guessing most of the high level epics and rares were gone before the points got fixed

zinc sun
#

I personally don't want to see this type of event come back. EVER.

upbeat kestrel
#

I didn't build my Ent until OPs 38

cedar plinth
#

People knew the armadas weren't working properly after the first 15-20 min, if you keep dumping in armada tokens on something that you know doesn't score properly why would you keep wasting them??

upbeat kestrel
earnest hornet
#

But that’s down to personal game play, in reality you can get your epic from ops 34, so in the design if your 37 you’ll have your epic by then. I understand what you mean cos I didn’t have mine till 38 too, but that’s not how the game was designed

lilac musk
#

Hell the mods on this discord initially passed it off as lag and told people to wait

cedar plinth
earnest hornet
lilac musk
cedar plinth
#

Took me an hour to look on Discord, I stopped after I saw it scored as a hostile and not an armada, meaning a coding error not a lag issue

lilac musk
#

It's why people were OK with still starting armadas because they thought it would come good

cedar plinth
#

Also knew they wouldn't retro after we got points for running Eclipse and getting event points

cedar plinth
abstract gate
#

Basically they need to PR their way out of this, say they screwed up, have the facepalm avatar, some useful directives and fix it for next time with double the Picard shards

lilac musk
#

Im just mostly annoyed with the logic for tie breakers lol. Being bumped to third sucks 😂

cedar plinth
#

They won't hand out the avatar, just a big old chest, and it will be big, that's why we haven't gotten it yet

abstract gate
cedar plinth
abstract gate
#

Exactly

#

Give everyone the facepalm avatar, and it can forever be the day Scopely facepalmed the facepalm avatar event.

#

Of all the events to screw up, the facepalm one 😂

cedar plinth
#

They probably plan to run it a couple times, that avatar is a money pit

abstract gate
#

Chuck the rainbow gun in there instead.

red ginkgo
#

Still no compensation for Rift 3 but at least I am not on server 32

cedar plinth
#

Ugh...cosmetics should never give bonuses...and when the hell are they going to put all this stuff into away missions, I'm not buying a pack to increase my warp, or getting extra damage on a territory capture mode

abstract gate
#

Yeah, it’s a bit…. Not cricket.

#

Take a leaf out of TF2’s book, balance positives with some negatives.

#

Or make it cosmetic.

cedar plinth
#

Let me exchange the billion random event token garbage that I've been collecting and just sits there for stuff

abstract gate
abstract gate
cedar plinth
#

And everyone who finished 1-4th get a full unlock of Picard right.... Right??

abstract gate
#

Gives people time to recover their armada tokens.

cedar plinth
#

I'm down to 9,405 uncommon and 4,500 rare... I don't really do armadas 😂

dapper drum
#

oh boi I didn't get points for that armada, lets try again

#

oh boi again no points, welp lets try again

#

still no points well lets try again

#

pretty much the logic of the players in this game 😂

#

yeah but after more than 1 attempt and alot checked discord to complain and saw was broken

#

and they still continued

upbeat kestrel
#

@dapper drum Because we were told in this Discord that it was a lag issue and should resolve, took over an hour for them to announce it was bugged and they would not retroactively award points

dapper drum
#

honestly I'm glad it was SNAFU

#

would have had no chance against those who spent to win

abstract gate
#

What a nice person you are 🤣

dapper drum
#

instead I got to leave them in the dust

#

I spent 70m rss and 2500 30m speedups to score 1.3m points in 12 hours

#

so someone comes in buys 300$ of armada packs and takes 1st in few hours would be pita

abstract gate
#

But it’s the way of the game.

dapper drum
#

yeah so was a blessing

#

I love when spenders get shafted 😂

abstract gate
#

But it wasn’t just the spenders.

dapper drum
#

yeah the patient hoarders

#

glad they got shafted too

#

I have 0 luck at getting directives from chests

abstract gate
#

In fact, the spenders just go “ah well, I’ll buy another”

#

The patient hoarders sit there having lost everything for nothing.

#

And you celebrate it?

#

What a deeply unpleasant approach to gaming 👀

#

Spenders just be like “sorry dahling, gonna need to cut back on the cocaine and caviar today”

dapper drum
#

they still got the credits

#

they could have grinded like me for the win

#

not my fault they didn't

abstract gate
#

Ah, so your way is the only way and the best way to play.

#

Lemme guess, American? 👀

dapper drum
#

if it gets me a win yes

#

MURICA!

#

and no

#

I have no sympathy for people who didn't get an easy win

#

they still got to do the arms and got the credits

#

so nothing lost

abstract gate
#

It ain’t an easy win, it’s a different win.

#

You wanna throw hulls at it, they threw dirs at it.

dapper drum
#

its an extra 150k per hour

#

on top of grinding 100k per hour

abstract gate
#

So? Let em have it.

dapper drum
#

scopely said no

#

and I can't disagree

#

well don't care to disagree

abstract gate
#

What’s happened here is people that have done that, lost their dirs, not scored points, and don’t have them for other events either.

dapper drum
#

they didn't lose their directives

abstract gate
#

Well, they have.

dapper drum
#

they just didn't get an easy win

#

they still got what they would have got for those directives regardless

abstract gate
#

If you’re one of those crayon munchers that pushes buttons when they light up instead of doing it when you get max rewards then no, they haven’t lost anything.

#

But everything in this game unless you’re a wallet is about doing it at the right time.

dapper drum
#

crayons are delicious

abstract gate
#

And they were robbed.

dapper drum
#

and great source of vitamins

#

they were not robbed

abstract gate
#

Well they were.

dapper drum
#

they got exactly what those directives were meant for

#

they are just whining because they didn't get their easy win

abstract gate
#

If I say “gimme €250 and I’ll give you x”

#

If I don’t give you x, I’ve robbed you.

dapper drum
#

but you still gave me y

#

so you didn't rob me

#

you just did better business

abstract gate
#

I think you must not live in civilised society.

#

Over here it’s called fraud 😆

dapper drum
#

No I just don't feel like everyone should be so entitled

abstract gate
#

To what they were promised?

dapper drum
#

want a participation trophy try farmville

abstract gate
#

How dare they!

dapper drum
#

they were not promised anything

abstract gate
#

The event says completely different 🤣

dapper drum
#

they bought a pack and got exactly what the pack stated

#

the pack didn't say anything about the event

abstract gate
#

But you…

#

My god, they walk among us.

hexed gorge
#

👀

dapper drum
#

I bought this 60k mercedes and I got a 60k mercedes but I didn't get the ribbon that shown on the showcase

#

I want a full refund!

#

NOW!!!!

#

entitled whiners

abstract gate
#

Which bit of that list did it pay out?

earnest hornet
dapper drum
#

thats what they are saying

#

they want refund even though they used the directives and the extras that came in the pack

abstract gate
#

No, most of us would be happy with the points 🤣

dapper drum
#

that event doesn't guarantee you anything to do with the pack

abstract gate
#

But they’ve said they can’t do that.

dapper drum
#

its a choice

#

not a forced way to do the event

abstract gate
#

But… what the heck are you even on about?

#

Just a bitter not-a-whale, complaining about whales 😂

dapper drum
#

people are demanding refunds because they couldn't get points

#

but still used the directives

abstract gate
#

I don’t want a refund 🤣

#

My directives weren’t bought. They were earned through grind.

dapper drum
#

well you can't get the points event is over

#

you get a chomp chest with extra free directives instead

#

thats a plus

#

you could have just killed hostiles for the event instead of griping

abstract gate
#

That’s a big f you and you know it.

dapper drum
#

but its not

#

its good 20$ value

#

for free

#

plus 5 shards that are worth more

abstract gate
#

I’m down an epic and a rare and I get a fraction of those back?

dapper drum
#

you still got the credits from the arm

#

so you are up

#

not down

abstract gate
#

Take them.

#

I don’t care about them, I did the armadas for the event 🤣

earnest hornet
#

His point is you still got the credits still got to open a credit chest

abstract gate
#

Which part of that isn’t getting through?

#

I do not need the credits.

dapper drum
#

you got shafted for event and whined instead of doing it another way

abstract gate
#

If I needed them, I wouldn’t have saved the dirs.

dapper drum
#

oh well your choice not ours

#

its like this is your first time playing the game

abstract gate
#

It’s the first time they’ve done so badly at shafting an event.

#

Points lags have been fixed before, but they just didn’t score these.

hexed gorge
#

No it's not 😂

abstract gate
#

And to make it up for the lack of points that would have made a material difference to the outcome of the event)

#

Have a couple of directives and a couple of shards.

#

If they’d scored it properly I’d have had about 10 more shards 🤣

dapper drum
#

now you get 5 and free directives and you still got the arm rewards

abstract gate
#

Monch monch

dapper drum
#

@rough mulchplease let the devs know I enjoy these type of SNAFU/FUBAR events that don't roll out properly

#

really gives me joy later too in chat

abstract gate
#

Monch

dapper drum
#

also why I wait until around 1 hour after an event launch to see what is bugged

abstract gate
#

Oh, yeah - that’s sensible after the last arc 🤣

dapper drum
#

been sensible since before arcs were a thing

abstract gate
#

Where if you started the event early you got bonus points.

#

No, after the last arc where they proved starting them early was a good thing to do, it’s not been sensible.

#

Releasing things that you’ve tested properly; that’s a good thing to do.

#

Acknowledging the issue and fixing it or telling people not to do something (rather than saying it’s lag); that’s a good thing to do.

dapper drum
#

normally it is lag, and wasn't a dev that said it

#

was a CM

abstract gate
#

Wailing on players who have been shafted by Scopely screwing things up, that’s a clownshoe thing to do.

dapper drum
#

they don't have as much access

abstract gate
#

Yeah, cos Scopely said nothing while tens of thousands of directives went in.

dapper drum
#

and are you shocked?

abstract gate
#

Not “we’re aware, probably best not to do them cos we can’t backdate the points”

abstract gate
#

But I guess that shows all where you’re at; success at everyone else’s cost, not fair play.

dapper drum
#

yeah when grinding pays off of course someone gonna gloat and laugh

abstract gate
#

I would hands down rather lose a fair fight, than win an unfair fight.

#

Nah, grinding didn’t pay off, a mistake gave it to you.

#

You earned nothing 😆

dapper drum
#

more than 98 players in my bracket

abstract gate
#

Beating spenders on their terms, that’s paying off.

dapper drum
#

there was a spender in my bracket tried to get into 2nd towards end

#

was jumping up 40k on top of the 25k he was grinding

#

I was going non stop 10 hours with 2 ships on 42/43/44 hostiles

abstract gate
#

But why do those of us who saved our directives have to be shamed by someone?

#

What a nasty piece of work.

#

PMC on one and cadets on the other.

#

Too right, missed that bit. The guy’s a troll and I’ve stuck him on block. No time for someone that extracts misery from others being shafted.

#

The last thing people should be doing when they’re getting Scopely’d is laughing at their peers getting Scopely’d harder.

bitter snow
#

Wouldn't that depend on the ships he was using, and/or the repair bills he racked up 🙂

#

When I came out of deep space to do armadas. I ran cadets in the high spawn areas. My battle rhythm was to port down, join armada. Send frankie a to deep space (15 min trip) run augur in ty gokor with PMC and d4 in andoria with cadets. At all times while active, points were accumulating. Then went back to deep space grind at end of armada.

sullen ermine
#

@indigo perch if one took his time to play in the early beginning of the event it’s not fair to the ones that played later the day were they had counted their Armadas properly and the Eventtime was not prolonged and im still missing my directives that I and my comrades spent wich didn’t count and without directives you can’t start Armadas anymore even if the bug was solved so still shitty

indigo perch
sullen ermine
#

Sorry didn’t want to abuse you in any way I’m just still waiting for Scopely to grant any sort of compensation/excuse. ( „or to pay for better programmers“ 🤭)

indigo perch
#

@sullen ermine I'm a competitor at heart. I would love to talk about how players adapted to the change. The golf ball flies further on a dry afternoon than it does on a humid morning, yet the pro's still stagger the start. The competitior adapts.

#

On a different note, if the playing field is not even, or a player cheats, that is a different story, but as long as every competitior has the same conditions and choices, then the competition is good. I enjoyed competing live on this board. My leaderboard and bracket, is well represented across the time zones. Positions 1 to 3 beat me fair and square. And if position 5 sneaks up and takes me out with wesley, that's okay to. I had fun with it.

64th to at least 120th have the same points! That means 64th to at least 120th get the same rewards.....basic mathematics mate!

#

Not abtie breaker at all but there goes proff on my point.....zero understanding of maths!

indigo perch
junior violet
#

That is also incorrect though

#

You should have got 3rd place rewards, simple maths again!

#

So the question now is added to....you have been robbed and so have 20+ people on my event!

indigo perch
# junior violet That is also incorrect though

Again, not necessarily, it depends on the published rules and since no rules were publish, nothing that comes after will be appropriate. In some cases the rewards are pooled and evenly distributed among the tied players.

junior violet
#

This isn't a tie breaker issue ffs!

#

It is basic mathematics

#

But again, you don't understand do you?

junior violet
#

If 1st is tied 100th then all get the same rewards if 50th is tied with 150th then all get the 50th reward!

It is a maths question, I know, I posed that question!

So today’s very special event brought to you special from scopely- the broken events day where all events are broken and will still take your money to tell you that it’s an event special called broken events day….

The event has cheated at least 20 people on my server out of rewards that 36 people were paid rewards for scoring the same as least 20 others as proved by the screenshot and still Scopely and the devs argue their code is correct! Absolute cowboys!

Nice announcement on the ISS jelly event.. basically for those that invested are out of luck now cause they’ll run the event again next week?!?.. great way to “fix” the crap mess you made! How about refunding the mats invested or hey.. remove the ineligible players from the event as it runs now?

Typical bandaid approach

Completely ridiculous, they messed the event up, they ought to give some compensation for their bad launch

because next week i'll be able to redo some 4* prime research....

Those that jumped at event start on the Jelly pursuit are royally pizzed. some spent millions in points and now its open to anyone causally doing upgrades. so a high ops person doing one building or research can squish an ops 38 persons attempt at getting a Jelly.

this is not just an "oops, my bad moment, try again next week"...

#

@rough mulch @fresh peak @harsh terrace Very simple fix. End the event immediately. Give everyone 30 prints for every 1mil points scored. Run event as planned next time without the screw up. Problem solved, pitchforks and torches back in closets.

Those players who already have one arent likely to gain an advantage with more prints and those who scored in the event will be given fair compensation for the mistake.

Only other acceptable option would be to somehow go back and individually restore every single rss or mat used by players who were trying to score to win, but that seems a lot harder than my suggestion above.

Edited to ping Devs.

So after spending loads of mats and directives, you now tell me you’ve messed up the event and it will be run again next week, ha what a joke , here’s the problem I’ve already spent everything so I can lose on this event you have messed up.

To anyone who scored in the event, recommend sending in a ticket. This is a mistake and players who have been wronged by the mistake should be compensated. And so long as they are, everyone can move on and have a happy weekend.

Really not an acceptable solution for those that spent mats and will be pushed out by the high levels. Running it again next week just means they miss out ranking in two events.

Mistakes and all, I still enjoy the game and the community. And as such, event though i already have my jelly through months of chest pulls, I sent an in game ticket, posting here and DM's with others. Best way forward is for everyone to do the same. Don't need to crucify the mistake so long as players who were negatively affected are fairly compensated for materials and rss used during this erroneous event.

I've played a few games were content went exclusive and they all shuttered their doors soon after. Regardless how much content they have to give players start to leave when they realize they have no realistic chance to get it. Look at the vidar skin, so far only one player in the 40-50 bracket on each server has one. Then we had the Data release and now Picard is looking pretty exclusive.

You can see the event when you are OPs 36 because that's when you can start getting the ISS JF prints in the epic armada chest box. However, they made a change months ago that as soon as you built the ship, you would no longer see the event and wouldn't be able to spike the points (intentionally or not). And it was a great change. Just like they have done now with the Stella skin.

The thing is the ISS Jelly Event runs nearly every Week..... People who invest in the first 2 hours everything they have in this event, its her own fault.

And if you see anyone else made more Points then you can do, save the ressources and wait for the next event.... Play smart!

I feel that Scopely’s customer support model is abusive. I don’t get how these companies get away with this when they can literally walk into almost any Starbucks, Chik Fil A, Target, etc and learn how customer support is done properly in an afternoon.

# heavy cradle I'm assuming there is a lot of psychology dealing with indoctrination and feelin...

I think I agree wholeheartedly. Robert Cialdini often talks about shared suffering as tactic useful in persuading a group of people to become more agreeable, aka spending money. (His book “Influence” has likely either been directly or indirectly involved in the business model.)

You know, I came over here from Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes/BF2 and I thought EA/CG had terrible customer service and a super aggressive monetization scheme, but I think EA could learn something from Scopely in this department.

Oh great.. ANOTHER crap ladder event. Guess I’ll start working on bathroom renovations instead

I tried Thor for bifrost beam 😂😂

You dont have the Epic Shards unlocked you have to have that first

Just so I understand, as I’m not seeing another event, there’s no other way to get the refractive beam at this point?

I unlocked ionic 1st. Then when I went to refractive I was stoopid looking 😂

So mining event doesn’t include data or lat mining?

I blame whisky

Was that the only event for refractive?

Would almost make sense to let us buy the other half of the shards. Seems the rewards would have been better at 1-3 full unlock and that’s it.

Or I think these shards are yet to come

Nah. Not those. I have 88/75 there. 53/75 of the others.

We got those from the tos arc

It’s tiring to see slbs since the beginning of the arc .. it seems scopley has high expectations that players would go crazy for Picard..

What has happened to cosmic cleanup, we are told its dosent run between the arcs and now we are in one it is cancelled again.I should have been able to grind my vidar by now but for the cancellations. Seriously thinking 9f leaving the game.

it wasn't canceled, just wasn't scheduled for this arc part

Will we have rare ticket events this arc? Just wondering if I should save these tickets

Do you know if the Refractive Beam event will be repeated?

#

So another unclear, garbage event. The refraction beam event made it look like you got the ionic shards AND the refractive beam. But no... You go and unlock the ionic and then you can't unlock the refraction beam. Thanks Scopley yet again.

We can't penetrate now. We die virgins 😂

I got both. Epic 75 and refractive 75. But i unlocked ionic 1st.

Why do we even need 75 epic shards + 75 refractive shards to unlock it...

I did the other one.

#

Was 4 drinks down. Did 3 more drinks to gulp what I did 😂

#

Well rainbow beam in 4 months then

I opened a ticket regarding it. I am certain nothing will be done per their epic support but it will give me one more reason to not be able to tolerate them and their incompetence.

where are the elite separatist bosses please?

desert laurel
#

refractive beam is not scheduled for another run, so don't expect additional shards until they release their refit solution

#

they updated the combat training event rewards, but are they giving chests to those that finished the event before they updated it?

separatist bosses are in the 26 system of the separatist branch (located in early faction space as a 17-*-22-26 cluster)

How your Ent is so weak at T7?

#

My T4 is 3,2mil

dapper drum
#

because I dont' conform to the dickwad alliances owning territories

#

atleast I know my strength is my own

astral forum
#

You can visit some alliances with particles 😏

dapper drum
#

particles are not a problem, you are only 3.2m from territory buffs

#

without them you wouldn't be so confident

#

well quantum is a problem

desert laurel
#

join team, benefit from team

astral forum
#

Actually in my alliance's territory are not hull buffs services

dapper drum
#

my weapons techs are lvl 7

#

I have some surax still from couple forced takeovers in small systems

#

dont' need a hull buff

#

even a penetration buff will jump you over 200k

astral forum
#

Also T7

dapper drum
#

Doesnt matter what the buff is though, power is misleading

#

Ive one shot 4.5m ent same crew

#

Buff are misleading

#

Now leave your alliance and see what its actual strength is

astral forum
#

Territory buffs are actually x 0,3 = real buff, so not much 10% maybe

desert laurel
#

alliance buffs are part of my strength. I formed those social connections, and helped in team efforts

dapper drum
#

No effort when you have 10 other alliances sit in system locking them out

desert laurel
#

your server politics sound interesting

dapper drum
#

1 coalition decides who gets what territories

desert laurel
#

build a 2nd power bloc

astral forum
dapper drum
#

Small alliances have formed with only 1 goal in mind, to keep them from mining in any of their territories

astral forum
#

Whales take best

dapper drum
#

Well mining anywhere really

desert laurel
#

we used to have coalitions too, but then everyone voted on enshrining rules in roe that only allowed alliances who've joined takeovers to participate

#

perhaps you could champion that cause on your server's discord

dapper drum
#

the coalition is enough that no one will go against them

#

we have debated against them time and time again that only those involved in takeover should be allowed

#

but if they lock out a system with ships you can't do anything anyways

#

power or not

desert laurel
#

there's no way 10 alliances are so like-minded that they agree with every allocated territory

#

people want, and that wanting can break a coalition

dapper drum
#

they rotate around

#

we fought for months trying to get into territory and gave up

desert laurel
#

how is it you got excluded? are you blacklisted?

dapper drum
#

no we just don't agree with their gameplay

#

nobody wants to put in a fulltime job in defending every territory

astral forum
#

On our server maybe 1 takeover fight in month or even less

#

Just nobody want feed scopely

languid cove
#

Sounds like you should join one of those alliances instead of the bad one you are in

dapper drum
#

did you not just read what I said

#

I do not want to commit a full time job to defending everyone else territories

#

not to mention some of the whales in those alliances are real pieces of 💩

languid cove
#

But….if all the big alliances are defending each other how much defending do you have to do?

dapper drum
#

enough to lock systems

#

and when its dozens of territories there are multiple defenses per day and its everyday

#

even with T2 and T3 systems they will make you show knowing full well no one can take it

#

particles and buffs are not worth that headache

#

doesn't make sense why scopely doesn't implement a fix, people would actually start spite spending again to win a territory

#

way it is now, no one is spending

languid cove
#

Well I’m sorry your server sucks, or you suck, hard to tell. But we found a nice homeostasis where the top 4 alliances have all 3 particles and the next 4-5 found their spot around those guys

dapper drum
#

the top 5 alliances are the coalition with their sub-tags barely being top 25 but yet they get the scraps that they could not get otherwise

#

there are 10 territories that could be won by those in top 10 outside coalition without any trouble, but they can't because of the sheer number of ships they load into systems making takeovers impossible with lockouts

languid cove
#

It sounds like you guys need to work it out. It’s obviously a failure of diplomacy. Everyone else thinks it’s working fine

dapper drum
#

its a pure waste is what it is

desert laurel
#

offer them safe miners in exchange for a seat and no defending

dapper drum
#

half the t1/2 territories services are rarely activated because the sub alliances are low activity and cant' afford to activate

#

but big brothers says no its theirs

astral forum
desert laurel
#

they can say a lot of things, but safe miners are your offer to give

#

if they decline, you hit them harder

dapper drum
#

they have been dealing with a dozen players hitting their miners everywhere they dont' care anymore

desert laurel
#

hit their armadas too

dapper drum
#

and this has been going on for a long time, they just adapted

#

they hit their arms and their ships doing dailies

#

doesn't stop them

desert laurel
#

that just sounds like you're not hitting hard enough

dapper drum
#

those dozen players have been blacklisted by most of the server for it too

#

very often you see cords posted for them trying to mine or do dailies or even arms

#

and then you see dozens of ships warp in with discos

desert laurel
#

that's fine, strain their resources for little effort

dapper drum
#

talking 1000 players vs a dozen

desert laurel
#

keep at it, forever until they break

dapper drum
#

and its been going on for long ass time its just part of normal daily routine now

desert laurel
#

there's no way people want to play like that when a reasonable solution is offered

dapper drum
#

its what they decided

#

those players will never get to play the game normally again

#

and they will let their miners get destroyed for it

#

if they lose a mining node during an event it gets handed back to them if someone takes it over

desert laurel
#

it sounds like they broke you

dapper drum
#

there is no hit them harder when these people only log in for that exact reason

#

they can't play the game they have nothing else to do

#

didn't break me I'm not part of that foolish group

desert laurel
#

you've given up mentally though. Resolve is needed to break them

dapper drum
#

I'd rather still be able to play the game then deal with a bunch of whales and their groupies

bitter gazelle
desert laurel

the other special ones with buffs require two types also. You can try asking if CS will refund it for you

Yeah. Notice how the ops level is colored out 🤣

Probably ops 42ish.

ops 39 is limited to lvl 7 territory techs

autumn tide
#

I'm more curious how he killed a lvl 49 Transport with a lvl 20 Enterprise and lived....

plucky roost
# astral forum

And level 20 enterprise doesn’t mean it’s t4. It could be t7 and only at level 20

#

I just tiered mine up today to t5 level 25 at ops 35 with a majority of research done and I’m at 2.7

dapper drum
#

look at health and shield

#

was his 3rd run looking at his health and shield loss

#

100 round limit

#

and you can do that with any 2.5m epic, 3 runs to kill a 49

#

if you want you can do it with 1.5m ship as well, just keep summoning it back after repair

spark turtle

Yes

rare violet

Is that your Crew for Killing 49?

spark turtle

No pmc for 49 transports. Only normal. I can’t kill heavies

Against 49 i do more Points with pmt

#

Cant kill them though

spark turtle
#

Nvm takes me two times now since additional research

#

I can’t kill even one with PMT

rare violet
#

I cant kill even one with any crew, but i Score more Points during si vis pacem...

spark turtle
#

Someone else was telling me that. It’s a good trick if you can’t kill one

rare violet
#

Yeah its Like 5 or 6 Times the points

dapper drum
#

use a burn crew on the heavies

#

just need any ship that can survive 1 round

#

but thats only for Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum

brittle fern
#

I use this for Si Vis. 1 hit and the event is done.

#

Save fighting 30 other people for the normals.

dapper drum
#

yeah if your ship has the mitigation for it

#

but moment shields fail you lose

brittle fern
#

Even before I tiered it, burn was less effective for points scoring than leslie, moreau, kirk.

dapper drum
#

most people don't have leslie

#

I got him long ass time ago because I wanted hadley

#

but his maneuver is just crap and only changes timer not actual warp time

brittle fern
#

I got the pack more for the fact the officer boost ship xp earned. Handy when you have have conveyor belt of 26 ships to max and scrap.

robust vapor
#

This is all that I needed to complete para bellum 😆

robust vapor
dapper drum
#

yep why you can underdog it with a cheap common g3 using burn

robust vapor
#

That was actually the first time that I've got it in 1 hit too, usually I only get most of it. I do run 270/270/270 with Kirk captain to squeeze a little bit more out of it though.

spark turtle
#

Leslie scoring is amazing in certain areas. You have to be able to go enough rounds. If you accumulate damage too quickly and die quick he doesn’t work. But for the situations he does he is untouchable

graceful shard
#

So I see they give 8k points to promote Picard in this event but it is mathematically impossible to even unlock him at this point….am I missing something?

dapper drum

No cosmic cleanup? Still waiting on my final 2 sarcophagus prints.

random tide
#

@graceful shard this event will run again. I believe the second running of the event will have been after 1, maybe both picard auctions. which means if someone wins both, they could promote hime

#

or possibly win every event he will come out in, like make it so and win the auction. plausible but unlikely

Super, thanks. I'm not high enough level yet to see the event, but it's good to know things ahead of time!

Aah, I should have figured when you weren't sure on the bonus 😅
It's a great event, my only regret in hitting 39 was that I didn't do it sooner just for this event 😂

so i shouldnt wait for an event to go from 38 to 39?

and the points acquired are no longer the same, it seems to me in the 550pts

the ticket event is different than the separatist event
