Stranger for me not count points in all events in last 2 hours
About a half hour delay maybe full hour on 28, but who knows if it’s correct
We break their payment system, all of us buy smallest thing, then dispute charge through are banks… will break their system over night for purchases
Well...
If there was a large enough chargeback ratio scopley would simply get it's merchant account shuttered
Not getting points in Faction Hunt
Same here
farmed high level swarm, nothing counted, except my franklin going boom
the game did remember to deduct all rss required to repair it, but did not credit any swarm destroyed
2/3 hunts done, started mission chain on the last and points stopped logging
@fresh peak fix fh
This just not acceptable
I'm going to watch my fingernails grow, seems more entertaining than the game and it moves faster
Hey all, we are aware of the issues players are having with scoring delays right now. We're experiencing some server load issues we've been actively working on.
you have been experiencing server issues for 2 and half years
then why not make a fkin announcement
I have finished so much in the last two days and am getting credit for only a partial
if u know
i don't see discord randomly disconnecting or not working 1 to 5 times a week for 2 years, so please, come up with another viable excuse for this snafu
Whatever issue that is causing the scoring problems may appear to be affecting other Scopely games. I say this because I have another Scopely game on my iPad (Looney Tunes: World Of Mayhem), and I just got a Discord notification that the developers for that game are aware of the issues that the LTWOM game currently experiencing right now. So I don't think that it's a coincidence that both games appear to be concurrently experiencing issues.
I seriously have to question all of our intelligence levels when we continue to play this poorly coded pile of 💩 that most companies wouldn’t even release for beta.
You would think with the BILLIONS in revenue from this game we would have the best rock solid servers known to man….
Fix this NOW
ikr
Servers are running on a Commodore 64
That's why I NEVER spend a single cent on this POS
Game servers are experiencing substantial lag, however the state of the art payment servers are running like clockwork
Where are developers in chat?
Seriously Scopely you guys are actively proving your incompetence after 3 years of the same garbage
NextGenLeela: Hey all, we are aware of the issues players are having with scoring delays right now. We're experiencing some server load issues we've been actively working on.
from a dev
they don't care
Wow with how much they charge for add ons to this game no excuse for this.
They are just after your money.
oh there is a load of something going on but not with the servers
Yeah don’t pay for the add ons the prices are ridiculous
Some years later, you’ll realize you pissed away $10,000 on this game that shuts down permanently.
Live view of scopely servers
ikr 😂
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
For $99.99 you can actually get points for playing the event, but, only for the next hour.
Scope does a feature change: Commanders, We are happy to announce ScopelyID, a new way to log into Star Trek Fleet Command!
and then the game goes SNAFU
I had offered to bet any in my alliance 20k that this was the cause, would have been easy money
Dealers and addicts is all this is.
When will it be fixed? How do we do dailies and events. Wtf
I really wish I could suck at my job and keep it
@lime raft at one point, the dailies and events were counting but with a delay and now it’s just not counting
Become a weatherman!
You can still do dailies and events. The points are counting. Just super delayed in getting them.
Figure at least a 20-30 minuet delay.
Getting points afterwards with such a big delay is simply not good enough.
I have no if I did 2 3 or 4 milestonesin the faction hunts!
When to stop??
Popping a 12hs shield and will be looking for a full 3x Faction Hunt "I'm sorry package" tomorrow
☝️be ready for disappointment then
And the lag just got worse....nice going now you cant even attack ships
It'll get resolved soon enough, I'm sure the technicians/admins are aware of the lag/high loads.
In case anyone hasn't noticed, one of the devs has issued an announcement in the #⭐-official-announcements channel.
well that just gives me such confidence
How are we supposed to do events like this
Did the second set of “Great Escape” missions. 15 minutes later, now, and I’m not getting event credit for doing them.
well taht explains why i only got the milestone 12 from battle pass free section and not the milestone 13 for it but got the elite rewards for 12 and 13
so my ore and parsteel is floatingout in space somewhere
bad enough they removed the ship tiering for points... not enough time for me to get all three factions done like i wanted seeing as i am working 12 hours of the first part of the event. grrr
Still working on the servers on our end - they will catch up hopefully soon
yeah, it's about a 30 minute delay for sure
Slight delay I'm waiting 40 to 60 minutes to see my point on dailies and events (my daily will not get completed today)
servers are starting to catch up now but yep - the queue is long
Approximately an hour for me give or take. For a hot minute it was real time then (poof) delayed again.
I propose, and i don’t think i’m alone here, a Server Ex Comp that makes the game have no glitches for 1 hour?
#ScoplysGreed
should be better now?
So I haven’t received any scoring updates despite killing many dozens of hostiles in well over an hour. When is this delay expected to be fixed. It’s impossible like this
I’ve reset the game, still no updates yet so many report it working in real time
It should have caught up or close to catching up. If it still doesn't in the next hour or so then you can file a support ticket and they will help you specifically.
🤯
The lag issue is only getting worse at a time when sever traffic is lower due to the time. Bets on how long before scopely takes the servers down for “emergency” maintenance?
the servers become lagged -- seems ok here. have you cleared the localisation data recently?
Clearing the localization cache did seem to help. Thanks
@fresh peak not sure if you are still awake but ib my experience in last hour, lag in scoring points is gone now thanks, still slightly delayed for dailies but nothing serious
Can we make the jelly event weekly or something. This is getting ridiculous
@abstract gate yup its called your epic chest pull, ever week you get a chance or 2 of a full pull
Hey, that’s the same with the Ent 😳 it’s like scopy’s rng is totally messing with us…
Same with hostile drops too.. I got 2 lvl 28 faction blueprints and one lvl 32 the first week I was attacking lvl 31-32 hostiles. Been over a month since then and I have two more is all.
New event idea Scopely Garage sale. Turn in bps, never to return tokens for other junk you don’t need.
Oops I meant mats totally and only mats.
That's a great idea I still have 50k of hungry tribbles
mmmhh today wasn't scheduled the event "Recruit new TNG Officers"?
is just us that don't have the event or all the servers?
What server you on?
174
TNG recurit event not on 140 either
we can all just wait and see what the mod say...
TNG event not on Eu 169 either?
<@&509691205798592532> have you heard anything about the TNG recruit event not showing? ^^^
I just completed the daily battle pass but I am short like 300 points. Anybody else the same way?
Will be same for all
Some days 2 some none
Ok cool Thanks for the quick response and info
Almost every BP has a day with none
no TNG recruit event on server 176
Ditto on 44
Same on 189
Guess the brains at scopely are not switched on yet? We're an event short.
Can't blame daylight savings here.
the 10k g3 Crystal i mined did not count for any of the events it should of counted for. but parasteel did work.
Had no problems with ore myself, worked fine
Sorry i ment G3 Crystal
@fresh peak I was unable to complete the faction hunt event today because it stopped recording kills. Please advise.
I’ve completed my hostile hunt and collected the points, but I’m no farther along on the milestone points than I was last night after finishing unity. Today’s event would’ve gotten me to milestone 14 and close to milestone 15.
The Face the enemy prt 2 is not registering the g3 for points!
same for me. but it is for others in my alliance.
States clearly mine ore guys not crystal
Crystal will not give points
Only works on ORE
Says mine ore if you look at the event description
You can do ore or parsteel nothing else.. hope this answers this queation
thx - having a smack my forehead situation here!
When it comes to Milestone everyone will fall 300 points short of milestone 14
Unless you have bought bp points
You will be short of milestone 14.. round 300 points
I am so use to seeing events for all the g3 materials i did not notice the ore bit.
Can happen had warn players in my alliance too
<@&509691205798592532> any answer yet on the missing recruit tng officer event
Set to start from 11 to 14
You’re right; I thought I would be 2k short of 15 instead, but I had misremembered how many points it took to get to 13 last night. Thought none of today’s points had registered.
Thanks
Glad to help mate
Will we get another Cosmic Cleanup this month? pls 
The dates were incorrectly entered and have updated
You guys are terrible. It was up for days on multiple areas and now it's suddenly moved because it coincides with the regular officer shard SLB. The community isn't dumb. Every little bit of this generates more bad will and it will add up.
It's there plainly in the events info channel on a picture calendar it wasn't wrongly entered at a single location.
Makes prefect sense, airiam is 80% added on top of the thousand plus % of the meridian.
You have to start from base stats. Learn Scopely math, then you’ll understand :/
Base mining 100%, level 10 Meridian bonus 2,225% total 2,325%, adding Airiam 80%, new total 2405%. Mining without Airiam 387,113, with Airiam expected 387,113/2325*2405=400,433
This is why we need to keep pushing Scopely to move to a more normal version of MMO stat and buff readouts. Don’t tell us a number that we have to then go do a bunch of math over, make that something handled by the server side and just show us the realistic buff or negation percentages or numbers.
Anyone else having a issue with the face the enemy event not posting points?
Mine's working fine. Are you mining the right stuff?
Crappy connection when I asked. Now understand it ore not generally mining
Every saturday mate
*mostly.
Every month I reckon someone asks where it is. I believe advice is only during the battlepasses.
Yes, it does. If you're mining with a ship that already adds 2000% improvement, adding another 80% is basically a meaningless.
Virtually all buffs on the game work the same way, and always have.
Thank you 
The thing that I want to point out, is why the text is misleading with the percentages?
When you do in shop some math to find discounts, is no way to be told that: "WAIT, we have base values underneath, the shown value are the tip of a math that is not really like adding/substracting x% from y, we manipulate values according to our math."
Is like you say you sell bananas, while you actually sell potatoes, a totally different thing
Everything in the game works this way... base value is 100% and bonuses are applied to that
Probably because most stores don't have stacking price variations..
it's not that misleading, people just think about it weirdly. When they sell you +20% more bananas, they aren't giving you 20% more of all the bananas you own. They're offering you a fifth of a banana to add to your banana bunch
Stores aren't a good analogy..
What would be nice though would be the possibility to "zoom in" on any of the attributes of your ship and then see exactly keyed down what is the base value and all the different boni that go on top. That way these discussions would maybe happen a bit less frequent.
I wouldn't 😮
What kind of events should I save recruit tokens for?
in 3h there'll be regular recruit slb that you can use them on, or you can save for the tng slb that runs 13-16th. If you can be competitive in these slbs it's a decent use of your excess tokens, but the standard recruit events and heroic versions tend to have better cost/reward efficiency and I never skip those
The more I think of it, the more it annoys me. Originally we had a troi spend event that didn't co-incide with the TNG recruit event. Now, the Troi spend event lies within the TNG event, this is really bushit, as we always look at the calendar and plan how we want to deploy our resource and efforts. This changes everything.
This changes the entire dynamics of competing in such an event. Because now its turned the TNG recruit event into a p2w event squared when prior it was something f2p players could participate in hope of some form of competitiveness.
I completely agree it would be great for the game to tell you what the actual impact would be.
The counter argument is we need to do researches etc anyway, regardless of impact, to level up Ops. So it kinda doesn't matter, it is what it is.
There used to be a ship power calculator spreadsheet that did this. Playing with it was...eye opening.
I call for the immediate firing of whoever came up with the realta event and those that agreed that it was a good idea.
Or just have them insert points for participating. Idc about losing, but not even being able to compete is no fun. Grinding 1 point up to (at 55) 54 points for pve is not fun.
The other pvp event involving the Jellyfish had points gained for losing. That was fun. This only has for winning.
I’m not getting any points for the realta v realta. Scopely needs to stop collecting people’s money for game that doesn’t work. They need to fix ALL glitches first.
Are you doing the PvP in the right system @glossy quiver ?
Only PVE is unlimited.
Yes, correct system. Done over 30 ship kills, reds, and still no points.
Pve should work in any system. Did you close app and clear cache, then reboot?
Last time, hit reds in neighboring system to get points with no issues.
Closed app more than once.
So I just talked with 1 of my alliance's Low lvl players 14 and he doesn't have the Realta vs Realta event. So becuase he can't be food for the LvL 40+ players he can't do the event ??
it's an ops15+ event. lvl40 players cant hit that low 🤔
You just like fired 97% of the player base. Weird.
Why complain about an event that takes 20 minutes or so to complete.
Fixed now. Thanks.
I think you got your numbers wrong. Might have meant to hit the 1 for 17% but you are absolutely right. What’s the point of complaining about a event that takes 20 minutes whether or not it is challenging or fun. I take back my firing and ask for more monotonous events to be added to the game. Maybe the next event we can do battle fortunates or mine with a warship. Explorer for gas, battleship for ore, interceptor for crystal. May take more than 20mins but damn it would be fun right?
This is the most even way to pvp not really sure what else to say.
How microscopic must [B] blu3berries' dyck be when he's hitting 28K Realtas with a 10M Jellyfish?
He is just dumb. Come back with PvP crew G3 epic and whoop his ass.
No it's not the "Good old days" when players could hit 20+ lvls lower like some enjoyed back in the day.
There's nothing to win. Nobody has any skin in the game. It's not pvp.
Pvp isn’t 41s hitting 36s, pvp isn’t asshats running around blowing up people with hostile crews, not running around hitting miners, not coming into territory with 7 alliances to oust one. So what is pvp?
Usually, when someone says something is not pvp... they are playing FarmVille Fleet Command and at best, it’s legit pvp if they win effortlessly 😂
Pretty sure pvp isn't hitting 28K Realtas with 10M Jellyfish, either.
Lol could be I’m having fun w it. Blow up someone bigger occasionally
Technically is pvp, but also pathetic 😂. Someone got angry at me after losing realta vs realta and came back with vidar... so I’ve sent my vidar and wiped his 😬. It could be an opportunity for a better pvp
vidar vs vidar sounds more balanced, and costs more skin for the participants
Chess is PvP. Call of Duty is PvP. Lots of other examples.
They all share characteristics that this game has the opposite of.
Well sounds like his Brain 🧠 is bigger than yours. If your realta is busy repairing and warping back, then it's not gaining any points. Sounds like good event defense to me.
I was originally excited about the realta battles. To see what crew would work or who did better. But lost all interest when it's 22k vs 36k+ no chance of winning, so nothing exciting. Just get to go grind 54 hostiles. If you got points for losing it would at least be worth the time to try.
It keeps coming back to that. For a game with loose level banding, like this one, you'll never get pvp action going until you over-reward people for losing.
Having fun with realtas
Face the enemy part 2 not working?
no issues on server 51
Been mining on server 48 and nothing for the event....
I assume you've been mining ore or parsteel
Yeah.
where are you mining?
Anyone else having an issue with their realtas giving level 1 base damage when firing on the first round on intermittent fights and then during the 2nd round their research and applied buffs not working during these fights
It's a annoying bug
Anyone know which hostiles give Relata blueprints? Game says they're available but I can't seem to find a system that awards them.
They don’t drop bps for realtas
Huh, they might want to fix that then.
They use to give bps. Way back in the day
No never have been able to grind realta bps
just for stfc ....your realta event sucks . fyi I don't do the PvP part cause at lv 34 I get hit by lv 50. which means I'd never score. so hostiles only.. but really if you going to continue realta event it needs have warp40. so you can go most places with out sacrificing all other events and disco warps to even try.
Too bad scopely doesn't use something like a computer to help with calculations. Why is something as simple as ship repair require more than 1 click and no scrolling?
PvP is Player vs Player regardless of how you do it, it is still PvP
Um yes 😂
if he had marcus 5 would of been useless
well tier 2 marcus atleast
find its faster to just put pan synergy and kuron and kill lvl 1's at 240 impulse
too many running ToS kirk with ToS bones and Marcus that it all comes down to whether or not Kirk will proc
He wants to prove the 1 or of 100 to seem cool. Idk he's also 26k, so it would be him against 40k to be the equivalent.
Tos Kirk and uhera and Marcus are all I ever saw as well. But if I could cherry pick my battles it might be different.
Huh? What are you talking about??
Pike Moreau are working on Ro's officer probability?
Maybe, not too sure if pike actually increases Ro’s chance of proc, it depends weather her ability is classed as a combat proc. Some say yes, some say not, in theory with pike Moreau, she should proc every time.
But ro on a side side is a good card when she procs. I’ve been using 5,ro,Marcus and killing tos crewed realtas
tos crewed without marcus probably )
I have tested P M Ro and didnt proc every time, but my Ro is tier 2
so 30%+30%*60%=48%?
It depends what rank your Ro is.
or wait i forgot its doubled )
but at tier 5 she gets over 100% with PM, does that break the probability?
30%*2.2=66%
Even against Marcus 😂
Like yea when ro doesn’t proc you die, but still for a realta it really doesn’t matter it’s basically a nothing cost to repair 😂
And on my second realta
except time to fly back )
Like 20 seconds from a system right next door
he doesnt have defence in below decks? 🙂
you can see it in battle log ) at first morale proc coz its 100% of defence 😉
You are the scoply level of community support. I started out listing my issues and you post not the equivalent to prove a nonexistent point. Congrats you have more power and are fighting people closer to your levels. I'm not at that point since I'm 22k. Don't bother responding I'm blocking you since I don't fee l like being told my opinion and experience is wrong. Because I'm not stronger.
Um really?? I was showing that even tho I’m lower level I am still killing people with ships higher then me and ops higher then me, it was a like example,
Look at the ones above 👆 kills ops 44s realtas with crews.
havent been too active here for last few days but has there been any announcement when recruit TNG crew will run (it was supposed to start 2 days back)?
thanks, just checked again and it has been updated. i swear it wasnt updated till late last night....
Take a look what they did to rescue the crew.. how they butchered it.. now another worthless event 😄
Does it not have an slb this time?
Nope
But we did get another p2win tng officers event.. wouldn't want to miss that, now would we? 😛
I managed to rank last month in all the rescue the crew slb’s . Somehow was easy on our server
butchered the event dropped the requirements and give crap rewards
can't say I am shocked, with scopely thats near impossible now
had to close game to see if this was truly the only events for a Friday
mining and half assed rescue the crew
yep
Curious why they scrapped RtG slb. Maybe scopely prefers players getting less rewards?
Just to annoy them - again
Getting the same points in open system vs regular system. Well done
To be fair the rtc event is one day now. So we'll get another tomorrow. Not sure how the rewards compare to the original 2 day solo milestone
is it just me or are we not getting the 3pts per hull damage in the open system?
Probably not, they hotfixed the closed systems back to 1 for 1, with how badly their tech team is lately they probably screwed the whole thing up
Yep, not getting triple points
Do they even have a tech team? I mean it seems like we do more work for them then they do.
Yeah, and the pvp is pointless when you are being slaughtered by lvl 40-41 whales with ships more than a million over you. Waste of time to Kraatu, and a waste of time to pve. Basically the game is becoming a waste of time…
May have been asked so apologies if it has, but I have a set of missions in the event store called warriors run, requiring 40keys, but can't see them in the battle pass, anyone know what's going on?
did you level during this month?
Usually when I hear something like this, it's because someone leveled, but their bp is from an earlier level without enough keys. The solution is to contact CS to see if they'll give you the keys
😂 someone within 4 levels of you isn’t a whale. Don’t blame everyone else that you overleveled.
🤣
yeah 😉
still would have waited for better event 😂
i'm not sure the others have same brackets )
What is an rtc
Ugh SCOPELY! not giving my points for TNG officer event 🤬
At the beginning of the ark did others get to pic troi or worf shards
I'm having the same issue with points
I was only offered Troi path in the early Pick Your Path event.
They are when they have done it in 6 months. Seriously, know you roll dude. If you have spent over 1000$ on a phone game…you’re both a whale and a fool
might save that one for a rainy day LOL
Takes a LOT more than $1000 to be a whale on this game. You're at least two zeros short.
or work/be contracted by scopely get all the upgrades for free with the purpose of to stimulate activity in the game
you do know DrTAnaTCat that this practice, in not such intrusive ways has been done for well over 20 years
Everquest, for example, had moderators in the form of game characters, they did not participate with alliances or gaming with other players, they monitored chat and made sure there were no bugs in the game, since then, things have changed
A game update seems to have fixed the bonus points problem in Kavka
Actually, it would depend on the account age... 1k lifetime spend would probably put the account in the top .01% of spenders in this game however. Its dolphin territory...
pssh, that's guppy territory
Role*….. please try again.
I class myself as mostly FTP and I think I have spent over 1k, 1k over 3years+ isn’t an massive amount
in a few months 1k will be worth about 850 bucks given the rate of inflation
The amount doesn’t mean anything it’s how it is spent that matters, I don’t buy materials or upgrade packs, mostly directive packs and battlepass
so spend it while it is worth something cause in the near future we'll be using wheelbarrows full of cash to buy a loaf of bread, it's happened b4
Meant what I said, “Like know how YOU roll”. But thanks for the pedantic response 😉
Anyone know why you need to “join” the unlock troi avatar event? Why would you not join? Seems to be no downside I can see.
if you do well you'll end up winning, and if your alliance mates are trying to win it, you could end up taking away something he wants a lot more than you
I won it last time
So why would I join it again
Let other people get it
Well why does scopely even show you the event again in the first place and make you not join it
I won the recruit Troi the first time, but forgot to enter the avatar event 🤣
Don't worry after you kill all the swarms for the event they will release an event asking you to do it again
Just 1 hour in hostile hunt?
it starts in one hour
No battle pass event today?
In an hour, Scopley's QA team are on fire as usual
I don’t even show that count down.
Proabably ‘as intended’.
Intention unknown though
And just started an epic 39 armada, which won't count towards bp event, gee thanks scopely 💩💩💩
Y is today's battle pass point event starting late
Must be a glitch on scopely’s end
It feels like scopely is running hostile hunt again after having it like 3 times last week
Wow popped an Armada to get a bunch of points at the start. Then hostile hunt starts late. WTH
Scopely again just don’t care
Let's see if I understand it scopely the other day you have a database screw up that slows the progress down right before reset so many of us don't know if we completed things and today you start the BP event an hour late so that all the kills that we've done don't count and no compensation
We demand new management!
where are the event points??? Scopely forgot there's an event? where is it???
How to quickly get 9600 Klinger credits? F2p here
Anyone else's BP not scoring any points for armadas?
Does the Troi SLB also count Eclipse rare and epic armadas? Or just F/K/R armadas?
FKR only
Rare or epic "regular" armadas including neutral faction (eg in Azati), anything which requires spending normal armada directives but not eclipse, doomsday etc
Thx!
So I still have these mission keys. When the event store comes around it doesn't let you get missions with existing mission keys. I'd really like to complete these lol.
It's the chain where they made the first part give you the missing 5 keys to get the next set of missions. At the time I couldn't complete the first mission chain.
I had the same problem. I couldn't complete one of the missions until after the BP finished, so I was left with the keys and no way to get the next mission. So the keys sit there. Forever. Taunting me.
doubt those missions are coming back to the event store. Try contacting CS and see if they'll exchange them for the missions, otherwise, you're probably holding them forever
That's a good idea. I'll give it a go. Thanks 👍
nope, tomorrow. Gives us time to cash in the troi auction for pts
Strange, I had 13 to 16 in mind. And seing that 5 people tried to snipe just before event change it looks like I wasn't the only one mistaken 😄
it is 13-16th, today's events ends tomorrow
Yes probably just another typo 😂
Hey how about those new spawn rates on exchange armadas? Scopely has really outdone themselves 😜 nice fix
game just turned into a lag-fest on #747490471504248952
What happened to the respawning rates? We’re back to once in a blue moon
Hey is there a way to tell if we will have a SLB recruiting event in next 24 hrs?
Yeah check the event calendar
Event calendar doesn’t show daily events does it?
https://www.dpdesig.nz/maqi/ there is this one for daily events thanks to @earnest hornet
Is there a calendar of the daily events (not TNG related)?
look up one line 
Hahaha I saw it after I posted
The biggest problem with the Exo buffs is remembering to use them before you undock! That's not embedded in my checklist yet.
i'm glad if you think this is the biggest problem 🙂 that's a nice thing to hear haha, i've enjoyed them so far. they are miner, and NOT game breaking/changing, and NOT allowing f2p to get squished like a bug, so i'm kinda enjoying the ones i get.
Sure..... Let's have an Eclipse Armada event and let's only have 1 Epic 33 in the entire game. that sounds logical. Oh, and let's only have it spawn every 30-40 minutes or so. Shouldn't be a problem for the 40+ alliances on the server. Not a problem at all. (s)
epic 31 doesn't exist
Stella cleared that super quick just killing hostiles. No armadas needed.
I was typing too fast and forgot it was a 33.
I'm trying to help my alliance get their numbers up. Some of my folks don't have big Stellas yet, so it takes them longer. I'm a 39 with a maxed Stella, so I can start bigger ones for my smaller guys. and gals.
Having said that, they still need to add more Epic 33s and fix the ridiculous respawn rate.
I'm 35, Stella is lvl 25 M11, my SMS cleared in less than 2 hulls in Peckinpah. Super fast. Is it harder at other ops levels?
even if you are helping your alliance mates out
wont' make a difference armada or hostile if they can't do the damage
so you aren't helping them in anyway doing armadas
they are still going to do the same amount of damage per round
True, but you also get armada credits that help for other stuff as well. All this still doesn't take away from the fact these armadas are not respawning fast enough and there aren't enough of them.
they respawn every 15 to 30 mins
normally always less than 20 mins
I can get in 5 or 6 epics an hour doing delta and karpinnen
It's also not an armada event... no way am I getting 250m ish points for the SMS just on armada victories 🤣
ah, that's not so bad
missed a zero when I looked last... but yeah, hostiles were a lot faster
Assuming you get to it before the other people on the server, too
Lindstrom and Pneumbra are the only ones not permacamped during events 🙂
both are lit up on my server
but they spawn fast enough
penumbra has people flying around with more than 1 stella trying to snipe as many kills as possible
Absolutely, that's what I do, big and little stellas running around shooting hostiles
let you know latter
Anyone else getting the building event instead of the research event for icarus factor? I was sure this was supposed to be research this time around.
i have stations upgrades too
Station here also...
Same
Station also... ffs
Omg seriously on another building one??? 😡😡
Yuck, calendar says research, plus nothing has repeated in Icarus.
It's not like you gave us a calendar scopley 🙄
Research was intended to be for today but has been swapped with Building for Thursday. So on Thursday, the research event will run.
Garbage. Was supposed to be research not building station.
So 4 days of events, not 3?
Yup, and to not tell anyone is ridiculous. People have to plan for this stuff ahead of time. No excuse to not inform anyone
You know, some communication beforehand would go a long way to improving the opinion people have of Scopely.
So this event is pretty much uncompletable today then... yay
That’s a lame excuse by liveops to cover up their own mistake
Wait…research as part of icarus on Thursday? Cause there is only supposed to be 3 days and 3rd is supposed to be borg probes.
icarus day 2 event pretty much undoable for me
There is no Thursday event in iCarus. Tomorrow is borg probes.
Uh oh...now what moderators
the only builds i can upgrade require a lot of uc & par which i dont have
Day 1: eclipse. Day 2: complete research Day 3: Borg probes.
So now where is the research going?
day 4 has been known about for a while
since so many complained about the first run having no event on the 4th day
Second incurs event is wrong. This time around it should be resech not station upgrade
and left it til last minute so they couldn't complete their AMS
but as usual, scopely is incapable of communicating changes
There will be a Day 4 SMS to give more players chances to complete the AMS, which was supposed to be Upgrade Uproar.
Instead that got scheduled to today and as such, Research will go on Day 4 instead.

@pseudo rover Do you guys not realise that todays events are pretty much impossible for a majority of us?
I'm just the messenger
@pseudo rover that’s not what I’m talking about
they are possible for the majority @steep heart look at the exocomps scoring
I know, that's what the message addresses
So I’ve prepped research for tonight and no buildings. All speeds used on research and event changes without notice is poor
So i'll just drop 12 pointless exocomps instead? xD
It should've been research but has become building. So on the 4th day, where it was meant to be building, it'll be research.
The lack of communication is embarrassing. Not the mods fault… but the in game message said research, so to swap it without a word is not good enough
Totally not you’re fault. But as the messenger. You can send the message back. It’s a pisspoor thing to do. “Day 2 research event”. Okay il get researches ready. Scopely: “psych. Just kidding. Have a station event”
Agree ^
you also get points for obtaining exocomps, i'm nearly completed simply by claiming all the events that just finished
What's the retrieving... event today?
That’s all great and everything except…. What about those that ended up completing the available research they had. And now likely won’t score in either.
THIS!
there is an exocomp scoring mechanic that you can use
So I have an alliance geared up for research and you give us buildings 😩😩😩
Restart game and it shows. Buildings and Exocomps focus.
Sooo. Burn through all the exocomps i have? Rendering their only use to finish events by using and deleting them. Brilliant.
Who can't read at scopely
you should have just obtained a bunch from the events that just finished... i nearly completed the event just from that, without using any exocomp at all
Honestly research and build look nothing alike
😂 oh hell
Yeah. It’s quite simple. Give us enough ecocomps so we can burn them to finish the event. That shouldn’t have popped
You may have. I did not
Meanwhile just zip about in a realta...because hey... why not
I don't want a compensation chest. I want improved communications. Less bugs and mishaps. Is that too much to ask for out of a multi-million dollar company?
I got event rewards. But it was 1250. Not nearly enough
i guess maybe due to my level, i got higher tier exocomps
Probably. In which case I get hit double. Because as a lower ops I can’t even use axiom chips to get more exocomps. Because I’m limited to 2* still. And I don’t get them in events.
if you have the chips, you can try the premium exocomp chest
Which only gives me 2* because I got less of the building upgrade currency. Less from events. Less from battle pass.
So I gotta speedup my 5 days remaining on my shipyard to get very little pts, to start a building to give me better pts because scopley never communicated to us... that's why people are mad scopley. Can I get a speedup compensation?
i honestly expect the research event to be just as ridiculous with it's milestones
premium gives 3* too
At least you have buildings you can speed up xD
So did I. Why I had researches ready that finished after reset. Researches I now can’t use on day 4
Very low chance. I’d get 1500 per pull. I’d need 9 pulls and I don’t have enough for that
That’s exactly the point of the schedule, and exactly why liveops being too damn lazy to change it is not on.
Because their QA doesnt exist xD
Others have said they want more communication. To be honest. If this is the quality of the communication. Less would be preferable. Being incorrect at every step. Makes it useless information.
Had scopely NOT posted a calendar (that they’ve edited at every step of the way and has been consistently wrong). I’d actually be in a better position
Wrong communication. Is worse than NO communication
they update the calendar all the time, no reason they couldn't update it this time
I'm still curious how people knew there was even a fourth day. I must have missed the in game announcement and change to the schedule board
It’s obvious they don’t even play their own game. I have to wait to scrap a mayflower to do my next base defence cannon, something I cannot speed up, or buy a pack or waste 4* exocomps to complete an event which feeds both into an AMS and ALB event
They’ve also updated it. AFTER the changes they made come into effect. That’s also useless. Editing the calendar to reflect what happened (or didn’t) yesterday is also of no use
they also lack any sort of QA, this probably wasn't the intent and simply lack of QA
but it's so irritating how often they do this crap, have someone spend 30 minutes every day to make sure the correct events are on the schedule, is it really so hard?
Like giving out a realta event without realising that a lot of people didnt have one
Which is why I kept 2 unstarted lvl 1 researches in away teams tree. Just glad I didn't start it yesterday in anticipation of today's (non) event
You should have been able to. But as of now. The calendar is useless. It can’t be trusted. The only day it’s accurate (and not always) is on the last day of the arc. We don’t need to know what happened yesterday. We know that. We need to know what will happen today or tomorrow. Which as it keeps being retroactively changed. We don’t
Learned my lesson a long time ago not to trust scopley events until they are active. It's ridiculous that we can't, but at this point and with so many issues, it's a defense mechanism at this point
Told after an event was supposed to happen. That it won’t. And will instead be delayed? Which has happened today. And last week.
The calendar can change. Sure. Absolutely fine. But it needs to do so BEFORE the date you’re changing
I'm still miffed about this some people having 2 realtas thing...
Plus we haven't discussed that even if today building event was the actual plan ( I smell more of a we screwed up vibe and are pretending it was planned), why did they pick the 1 event from the last run that everyone hated? That seems like a big f u to the whole community
We've all chosen to be in an abusive relationship. Plan accordingly, lol.
Omg that definitely sums it up 🤣
When did the icarus event get changed on the news center announcement board? <@&509691205798592532>
Around the time I pinned the last message in the channel iirc, but your experience may vary as it can take some time to update for everyone
My announcement board has not updated…….but others in my alliance has. Has created a bit of confusion!’
And besides……after the fact is NOT great communication. Everyone was ready for research and then after the reset, oh, gee, it’s been changed to buildings.
So the new PC version will just be the same game, with same accounts? or are we going to see a better game, a more skill based game with pvp, combat, events etc...
Same game, same account if you have registered your game using the new Scopely login
Ok had hoped for some more after 3 years of game play...
See? It's not a bug...it's a feature to encourage inter-alliance communication.
the armada event that just ended was listed in the news channel in game as only on the 15th but was 15th and 16th. Will that impact the run that is scheduled on the 19th?
Would have rather seen stella pvp.. Atleast then it gives uranium
I miss the Stella and Disco PvP events those gave great rewards
That's probably why there not scheduled anymore
i dont see any difference in mining speed when using the mining exocoms
Redock your ships. It works
i did i had them in activated then sent out to mine
Dunno then. Ive used a few and they always work
maybe it doesnt work on iso mines
If you're using a Meridien, it won't add much.
Nothing changed with Ty, 31 chests opened
People saying it's been nerfed again? Meh. Methinks people don't understand chance and luck..
What's up with not getting an axionic ata's? Haven't had one in two days
Someone said it earlier. Yeah, I don't think they hunt there often enough to know it's drop rates
If I ever see a Bortas, 1 hour speedup, or survey parts drop there; then I'll be worried 😂
Yup
Is there a list of what's in the event store by date? Blue prints, battle debris, etc.
Nope
the event store with battle debris and vidar/franklin/sarco is related to the Cosmic Cleanup event card that's scheduled to run saturdays during an arc part
the event stores with a much larger variety of ships and officers usually occurs at the end of an entire arc, with the next one expected to hit us in sept
Thanks all
Should be once every three months regardless of arc progress, but that's just my opinion
should be even sooner than that due to the wealth of content in star trek yet to be released
current pacing would take them years to finish all the shows, and they skip so much of them.
I'd like one every month but yeah that ain't going to happen with scopely
Where’s ticketed events?
Exactly! What gives!?
So as level 28 ftp that is only 80 bps out of 100 on my vidar, how am I supposed to complete the Icarus event that requires me to kill borg probes? Is there a way to get to them and kill them without a Vidar?
Where?
@ruby copper @rugged mirage @astral forum Galactic Conflict plus ticketed events are running Friday-Sunday 8/20-8/22, today's events are the Icarus SMS/SLBs.
so many changes this arc without notice
Well by most, and likely by scopely’s rate of progression, if your ops 28, the majority, if not all, have had the opportunity to get enough for a Vidar. But the depends on how fast you have sped up your ops upgrades
I feel like the rewards should be higher
@pseudo rover where was the communication about this as everything says tickets start today
@pseudo rover Icarus/Borg Brawl; are the points and scoring correct? Ops31, SMS completed after killing ONE lvl29 Borg Probe for 89 points. Needed 80pts total for the event.
you have SLB 😉 do it
Ok, came here to try and find out why server is trashed and not pulling up events. Scopely f'd up again I see
Anyone else having issues?
My Bonus Transwarps disappeared after it said "purchase failed" my transwarp cells didn't increase in inventory
How many bonus transwarp cells are in the chest?
Thanks. I'll use up half my stock before I open the chest.
So no ticketed events today? Hate all these changes without notice but it’s par for the course
Is it because the shop doesn’t work? 🤣
2 events...done in 15 mins.....boooooooring
The Icarus SMS was done by killing 1 probe for me. 🤣
It's probably RËDs fault...
Naw...can't blame you for everything 🤣
Why? When you gain extras they g get added over and above the claim limit...
Thanks, I didn't know that. 🖖
Who would've expected this while sending literally EVERY player to the same already way overcrowded system. Well planned ahead, guys 🙈
Last I looked , I had 12 tokens for borg space. Only killed 1 probe to complete icarus event.
Working as intended
I got back in. Kinda saw a officer screen show up as it was loading. Got pts and rewards for officer recruit event. However, no clue what I really got from the chest I pulled before maintenance. Hope they were good 🤣
@fresh peak so, will there be compensation for like Officer packs that were bought and not received?
Where do you get more doomsday armada directives?
170 too 200 ships hunting in borg 33 space.. @fresh peak , we need 34,35,36 borg systems. Also lost my daily 2 borg transwarp cells when pushed collect before server went down. Just popped an error message, failed to complete transaction. Rewards are not great, small differences, but if I loose due to technical error, that stinks lol
This is called an epic fail scopy. You have bottlenecked everyone in a single system…and have made the situation ridiculous. Well done, your plan to drive folks away is on fire 🔥
What genius gave us a probes SLB, are you having a laugh? There's literal queues at spawn points
There is a solution to that problem, it’s not Scopely’s fault that you refuse to use it.
The answer to that solution usually makes it undesirable, because Scopely built a game with wildly unbalanced PvP and made it so that you need to spend most of your time farming and mining 😴
Clean them out.
@ornate geyser would but the S in our server name stands for snowflake and I cant be bothered blocking so many people
So, the solution is to kill the other players? It’s not a pvp event
The ROE you choose to play under is your issue, not Scopely's. The reality is the mess being shown in these ss are a consequence of ROE.
If you don't like it - fix it - this one's on you, not Scopely (although they certainly have many other things worthy of yelling at them for!)
@ornate geyser if we didn't form community based ROE the game would be a disaster
Um, yeah, that’s not a viable solution for today’s event. I don’t care, I’m not even up to 33 yet, but what I’m hearing doesn’t sound reasonable.
"I need to mine for an event but all the mines are full" - "just kill all the miners and take a mine!" - we all know how that would play out so the suggestion to kill competition is equally moronic
That's your choice.
Shrug.
@ornate geyser its a wise choice, killing the competition would be stupid. Since the only thing that kills probes is vidar and they'd just come back and kill you, or some else will and then boom no more transwarp cells and no more event. So no, it's not a viable solution.
It's an event designed to get people blowing each other up. You don't want to blow each other up - that's cool - the alternative is queuing up at swarm points, or going down a couple of levels and grinding it out.
Whatever makes you happy! 😊
@ornate geyser you're not really grasping the point. If you did start blowing people up the same would happen to you and given that there is finite amount of transwarp cells you'd rapidly run out, and then you're definitely going to have a problem with the event.
I'm grasping just fine. What you're not grasping is that there are only X number of slots on the leaderboard - they will be all be filled even if you all start nuking each other.
Guaranteed every reward spot will have someone in it, no matter how thoroughly you go at each other.
And the reality is, the SLB in either path will be dominated by the people with the most warp tokens. The only real difference is the blow-up path gets you there a hell of a lot quicker, with less grinding.
Scope isn’t going to make events that fit nicely with your ROE. If your roe keeps you from being competitive in an event, change it.
So it would be order of who has the bigger stick in the event leaderboard. Everyone loves it when the whales are catered to.
Or how about this, they just add more higher level systems which have been long overdue with the amount of t7+ Vidars on the majority of servers.
That's happening anyway. Those with the most tokens are going to dominate the SLB, matter what.
@ornate geyser Everyone has similar amount of tokens, if everyone just shot each other it would end up with the biggest player sitting G4 ships nailing every vidar in sight apart from their mates. So it wouldn't be a matter of tokens, it would be a matter of power.
So instead it's a matter of who has the most free time on their hands. I fail to see how that's an improvement..
Because it becomes a fair crack of the whip instead of big players squashing little ones? How do you not see the benefit in that 😂
Why would anyone care about leveling up if it didn’t offer an advantage
It’s the point of the game
🤣
It offers an advantage?
Dunno the only thing it's good for is indi credits but other things already cover that
Other benefit is wasting your irl time
I don't see how it's a "fair crack" when it gives someone who can spend 12 hours looking at the screen an advantage over someone who can only spend an hour in game.
That's even less fair than giving and advantage to the bigger wallet.
Not really
How would you recommend it's done then? Cause spending is not a reasonable way to do it
i thought games were meant to be played? 😄
The bottom line is some events will favor certain groups. Don’t like that? Then come up with a plan to even the odds or just wait for the next event. The sooner people stop expecting every event to cater to them personally the sooner people will be able to stop stressing out so much about this silly fun inconsequential game.
Yes
Me.
Game just went down
Ffs couldnt organize root in hen house
I am not a mona but really already was f today
Serveur HS
Anybody else having problems? <@&509691205798592532>
Server 200 down
Down in server 24.
Server 17 is toast
Server 15
Means another ceasefire shield no munchies shucks
162 down again as well
It's been reported. We'll let you know when we hear something 🖖
K
I think a Mega Compensation Chest should be coming 😐
Players are getting fed up with so much bugs and crashes
Right when this play on pc announcement came, we start having problems 🤔
I was just about to spam a trillion points in the Borg spam event now I will have to settle for 12th. Will they give me the points?
@delicate moth is it wake up time in America yet?
Sorry I'm APAC I forget time zone stuffs
Servers all seem to be coming back up
Yep thanks
They also seem to have given out different amounts of travel tokens to players. The guy leading my events can do a maximum of 22 trips cos they gave him loads in the gift chest
I had 12 from before event
got an extra 4 from chest
plus 2 from daily once I cleared below 8
still not enough for 1st on my server
players in 1/2/3 have similiar power vidar and using same crew so maybe they got extras
I picked up an extra from a trader. There was 2 in the compensation package as well.
Confirmed some people did get extras, it appears scopely played favorites and loaded the lb. side note, if you want to mess with the lb just go to the 33 system with an enterprise and kill off everyone camping the spawn points. They can only come back so many times, even if they bring another ship to kill yours
I suggested that to my alliance. Apparently it's frowned upon 🤣
I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened more on my server...
Especially considering we recently scrapped the roe clause for token systems 😂
If the rewards for the SLB were meaningful, we'd see more of that.
But they're crap, so most don't bother.
ARRRRGH I HATE Unity events. I hate having to sit there and babysit this game for hours waiting to scramble to catch help requests. I already spend too much time on STFC for garbage like this. And I'm low on tritanium and parsteel too.
Mining events I can just clear a zero and slap a miner on it and do something else. Hostile events I can do that immediately by hunting hostiles. But BP? Nope, it's one giant babysitting event
Math is hard. I killed one lvl 40 fed hostile while using a 2* combat consumable
I'm pretty sure 910 points isn't correct @fresh peak
What do you expect with $copely? They know how to screw up a 2 car funeral procession
I wish for a plague of armpit fleas upon Scopely for their idiotic UNITY events. Getting in fights with my wife over babysitting this game when her and the kids need my attention is so not worth this bleeping game
Some dates have changed. Check in game news
SO they moved ticketed events AND armada hunt
NICE LITTLE STASH THERE!
Chips ahoy cookies!!!
Thats a months worth of triple pulls once I hit 25
@nova valley that was as f2p since you also went that route no packs for chips or servos just hit factory 22
i have gone free 2 play. i have factory at level 19, but i do have enough servos to punch it a level. well two levels after today's events. i'm waiting til a building event so i can claim the defense platform that's cooking. but i have.........
not as many as you
lol
@nova valley rng has alot to do with it i went like a week straight pulling 16s
And double, triple away missions for chips
But getting halfway to max level of a building with special curreny f2p is good imo. More so that I was able to earn enough chips for another 1200ish servos over the next month.
That puts me at least in the low to mid 30s.
I grade the exocomp arc an A+ for accessibility and affordability.
B for utility due to the way buffs work off base.
And c for lack of imagination and creativity in the type of buffs!!
i like these grades. very fair i think. although, the "base" value isn't a new thing, or unexpected. almost everything in the game works off of a base number. BUT increasing the buff "value" woulda been a compensation for that.
we did a stream on some of these. soem ofthem are really really good.
others are meh
If you do the conversion of the effect of the boost to Latinum it becomes very apparent they are undervalued
Like 500% ship xp, research and building speed. All can be mathed out to latinum. If you do that its more efficient to buy a latinum pack then these.
wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll i guess if you math it out that way, sure. i haven't cause i woudln't buy any of those packs. but i don'tmind earning and using the free exocomps tho lol
Yeah, as a free option im ok with it. But if they boosted the value so people would actually buy them so they would be better then just spending latinum we would all benefit
Its win/win/win for spenders,scopely and the community
Like lets put it perspective a 100% boost (tier 4 top tier pull)at my ops 41, is litteraly worth about 600-900 latinum. Yes this lasts 8 hours but thats off 40day builds.
It would be far better to be 250-300% for 15 minutes then 100% for 8 hours
Promote alliance coordination with helps
Tactical use
Absolutely, and yes please!
They really need to either give us the base numbers alongside the buff percentages, a realistic buff/debuff number, go the usual MMO route and give us the actual increase numbers when all other things are included, or otherwise help simplify the convoluted and horrible numbers system in this game to where people don’t need spreadsheets and calculators to try and figure out what is really happening. It’s just getting silly when a 30% buff or debuffs actually results in a 1-2% actual difference in something.
Stfc design team is obviously being run by first timers copy and pasting from other games.
Yes all mmos use base % increases but they also add increases to base numbers so those % increases actually mean something at higher levels
Not to mention a lot of the newer research has made many legacy officers worthless except for below decks work.
Just recycling content, been that way for a long time.
And once you get to g4 they no longer even get into the below decks, maybe 1 in 10,000 players have 4+ slots below deck past 40
Max out 6 epics and your pretty much done ✔
Oof, never thought about that. 39 here.
I run a secret pvp crew that beats khan,marcus,tos kirk,kang,harrison , Georgiou, and lorca
So I never needed to upgrade them
Don’t disagree at all that I’d love some real interface for numbers display. Would make my job so much easier. BUT the ONLY problem with net results is that it would be diff for EVERYONE based on researches that they had ALREADY done. For example. 300% armada damage may be a 20% yield to a level 50 but potentially a 100% net yield to a level 20. It depends on research ALREADY done in most cases. That said, to assist players IN THE MEANTIME, please know you can find any and all base values from our friends at STFC.space
Base increase should be tied to ops, maybe a building? Weapon augment center? Increase base damage 1-10 =10 damage per level , 20-30= 100 damage per level, 30-40 = 1000 damage per level, 41-50 = 10,000 damage per level
I can’t speak to many other games. BUT the two or three that I’ve played hard enough to care about the math is much like this. Cumulative percentage additive buffs to base. HOWEVER. Do keep ij mind there ARE. A FEW examples of base buff multipliers in this game. Just very very few. D’vor and Botany Bay are ones. Token systems or TC systems for mats mining is another. Laser bonus from your ship component is another. All around mining. Then in combat there’s some early shield and weapon damage research that’s flat additive to base. Also some of the flat additive research for Stella in the outlaw tree also affects base.
This sounds great in theory. But if you used those numbers to affect base values, lol you think the pay 2 play gap from f2p is bad now….. oof.
HOWEVER mechanically I actually do love the idea. The math would have to get VERY carefully balanced. And honesty. Probably DECREASE in value as you level up.
Decrease in scale I mean. Ie. 1000 for levels 1-10. 100 for 20-30 etc
Well those numbers i chose based as a being 20% of the base damage of the average weapon
As well not breaking the level balance using the realta as an example
Because 10,000 damage on a Kelvin sounds like alot but it really isn't
The only problem with this function is them people would fuss that the exocomps “aren’t giving anything”. Someone who shoots 300k per shot and you offer a flat additive bonus of 400 to base. They’re not gonna get that math either. Lol it will be extremely convoluted either way. What scopley NEEDS to do is treat the new pc version as a real pc version and get us some detailed stats pages that show us our actual real numbers. And a “what if” scenario to upgrade a research or something. Doesn’t need to be incorporated into mobile. You can present it as a companion feature in pc. “Testing labs”
Depends. Are you adding that to base or is it 10k added to the final calculation? Very very diff numbers.
Well I think people would really notice these buffs, by level 10 a realta would do +100 damage x research thats significant
Haha that’s massively significant.
@nova valley well 10k is just a theoretical # but it would have to be added to base
Scopely should seriously consider an API to at least get battle logs out of the game, if not ALB and Alliance stats too
Wishful thinking though
People need to see the effect of bonuses to motivate them to keep progressing. Its why im so frugal with research because most research gives nothing noticeable
Then again, Scopely would probably charge 99 a month for said API
but they all add up, thats the thing, and if you have less research, then a 300% from an exocomp would be more noticeable net.
It does add up but it doesn't actually make a difference and the cost vs reward are completely out of balance.
I can drop 300 million dilithium and 10,000 uncommon for a 30% increase and guess what it wouldn't knock off 1 round on most fights
Its not useful
And right now the only realistic way to increase base stats on your ships is getting the next tier ship.
Thats why I've never taken a ship past tier 4. The math just doesn't justify the cost.
T4 enterprise vs t9
Those increases are a joke
This is truth. And a real scenario. Some (a lot) of researches are garbage. buuuuuuuut then you get some that are pretty good. Most of ata and territory and even outlaw tree is good. I love outlaw tree
Best research is critical strike, critical damage and penetration.
But even penetration against high enough hostiles eventually becomes worthless
But that said. It is a game of nickels and dimes as Aaron said. Eventually they add up. Which is kinda the point. The player who has them all can whip the player that has half. Even if both of them are flying the same ship.
I would argue penetration against any explorer hostile is already worthless hahaha
Dj i run a crew that shyts over all weapons damage research
I dont talk about it because I don't want it nerfed spent 60k indie credits on it
Am I missing something here. Shouldn’t the AMS have a score ?
its one of those things with the research its like those people that chuck all their nickels and dimes in a jar, yes they are small, but as you add more they will accumulate, and in some ways aren't bad for doing them,
But yea you may not do them and have a 300% armada damage increase and be like thats 100% net increase, but still lower then someone else who may also have 300% worth of other researches on top.
at the end of the day, theres a tough balance between base % and Net increase %'s
If you changed alliances in the last 4 days you will not have a score.
I did go for a walk about last night before the reset so that explains it. Thank you.
@earnest hornet yes but eventually the difference becomes so insignificant it no longer is relevant.
Consider riker over 100 rounds. That's 10,000% increase weapon damage. Whatever research you have is like throwing a glass of water at the ocean.
This isn't hypothetical its a proven fact you can see it on the vidar, and the franklin. Research just becomes irrelevant with certain officers. Unless like the franklin the %'s are in the 10's of thousands
Here look at round 2 vs round 28 using the damage increase we talked about
800k to 4.9 million damage.
Think about that research will never, ever close that gap and those are non-crits!!!
Which one is additive to base weapon damage?
Why should research close the gap between what should be a good officer run well? Crew is meant to stand out 😅
I'd agree that they need to do something about the system generally, but I think anything short of a complete redesign will fall short. Needs to be a mix of base and total increase, % to base probably better than flat value though, and the overall size of bonuses needs to be scaled back in some cases imo (part of the problem is that they increased bonuses and then added even more..)
@robust vapor because of the cost. Research should be comparable to officers its extremely expensive.
Yes research is where you should have flat increase to base that would affect all % increases. Then rebalance officer abilities.
I think this would balance the game considerably. You want flat bonuses invest in research want % increases tier up your officers
Cost is just how Scopely is. Don't forget how much it would cost to actually buy Riker 😂 value is a whole other issue in this game, driven by sheer lunacy at Scopely and the whales that throw money at them..
And flat values don't scale well. I mean if I used your example numbers I could probably beat up G3 faction warships with my Realta, that's not ideal.. my ISS would do only twice the damage of my Realta with that buff on them both, I'd be mad to even use anything but my Realta 😅 a % increase to base though scales with your ships instead.
Thats not even modertly difficult to correct though.
You can have diffrent tiers of bonus affect diffrent tiers of ships
T1 research applies to all ships
T2 applies to g2+
T3 applies to g3+
T4 applies to g4+
What I'm getting from this is we can replace one overly complicated system with another overly complicated system.
I'd rather they just revamp the research trees. Too many research nodes in too many places doing exactly the same thing.
@ornate geyser if anyone has every played path of exile scopely basically copied their system
You have 3 types of damage increase
- Flat damage bonus to base
- A base % increases
- A global multiplier
The problem we have at stfc is scopely only uses type 2, and barely does anything with type 1 or 3
That creates tons of imbalances and diminishing returns
Diminishing returns is how you create anti-diminishing spending as players level.
I don't think they're ready to let that go...
Well its also how you eventually motivate players not to spend on research at all
Like I don't event touch the combat tree its absurdly expensive I just get my bonuses from territory tree
Its not necessary to do absolutely anything
I don't disagree with any of that. But the MO for this game is exactly that - "absurdly expensive".
Until that changes - good luck, lol - I don't see it getting meaningfully improved.
Well that's why im trying to get the message out the more people that realize it and stop investing in these useless trees the more likely scopely changes
😄
Well that's probably because they have old combat research and then new territory research. They probably just expect that everyone will have finished all of the combat by now 😂 and they obviously expected territories to be hotly contested, making it harder to progress through the research 😬
Yeah that's why I constantly call their design team amateurs
They try to force players to play the game their way instead of adapting to how players play the game.
Thats like the first thing a freshman in college learns about game design and user engagement
The design team is a disaster, frankly.
@ornate geyser yup, I wouldn't be surprised if most of it is out sourced to India or China
It's clearly one guy in a basement doing everything 🤣
Don't knock on the one guy, POE started that way
So did Microsoft
Just depends on quality of your work and your design. Im just judging based on results
Did they maintain one guy in a basement with thousands of users, millions of dollars, and new content churning every month?
Lol, if he could that would be a a hell of a guy
Also, if it is just one dude I take it back. Poor guy is just overworked
That's how it comes across to me, understaffed and underfunded 😬 hence the joke about one guy in a basement doing everything.
Scopely with the whip behind him sleeping on gold 😂
super yachts cost a lot to refuel you know!
But here instead of just trashing lets list their failures.
- Armada pvp
- Single faction locking only
- Territory competition
- Level camping
- Away team mission refresh tokens
- Refinery throttling to force pack buying
- Speciatly ships
- G4 armada chests
- Not accounting for player ROE
- Loyalty chests
In all these cases they tried to change player behavior by force and failed horribly
They're going to try #9 again. Server transfers....create maurading alliances of rogues going from Farmville server to Farmville server, wreaking havoc.
But they will fail, because even whales can get burned out being attacked by an entire server
We had 2 level 50s drained that went rogue on our server
They won't come in twos. They'll organize as packs. And will come like locusts.
My server has anti-whale squad made up of saladins rocking pike+moraeu +harrison
I suggest you organize the same
Organize the same? Lol. I'll probably join them, lol.
What do they do to a dozen tribunes sweeping a TC at the same time?
Because that's what's coming.
Its ok you can bankrupt a whale pretty quickly if they do that
Dont care who the whale is 5 deaths will hurt
We'll see soon enough. Either way, it'll be the end of the game, IMO. Either the whales get swept out from everywhere, and take their spending with them, or they're unstoppable everywhere and they leave because there's nothing left to beat up on because everyone else left.

Lol
Actual end cost for a lvl 50 is less than 1/10 of that
And they have 100,000x worth of repairs
They aren't as stacked as you think most 50 whales sit on 100B is trit around 20-30B dil
I personally spamed a 50s base for 4 hours with a saladin using harrison, cost him almost 20 B in repairs by the end
Point im making they aren't as untouchable as most people think
Yes, but also nowhere near base costs either
And if he didn't shield over 4 hours, he didnt care about the 20B
That 20b you burned they make back in a blink of an eye
Also doubt you did any damage vs a 50 base with a saladin
Lvl 42 turrets alone first volley kills any sally
@dapper drum true if it was just me but there were so many of us doing it that this guy eventually accepted roe
Do you have any proof of this base hit existing
Because i smell a fish tale
How bout getting that 50 to come in here and tell us
Also its not server change tokens its merging the bigger servers now thats going to happen then merging smaller into bigger ones so more competition more fighting more money
2bil trit or less repair for a 50ops doesn't sound too much 👀. Franklin a and stuff 👀
Right
It’s not hard to do, other mobile games have done it, and every mmorpg out there I can think of does it. If 20+ year old games had and still have what we are asking for here, it shouldn’t be an impossible task to have it on this game. It’s already being done on the backend we can’t see, just make it so we just see the actual numbers on our end.
it's a little harder than that, because you need to remember that there are bonuses that only apply in PvP, PvE, armadas, stations, specific targets.. So you'd really need a whole new window with tabs or options to choose what you're looking at 😬
Also they haven't even got the DPR formula working properly in the client, so... good luck 😂
Also most games just show the total % increase in one "profile" page or something like that, and they apply across the board...
Only if the person is a fool. Once I realized the diminishing returns aspect I stopped spending. Except for the bp (which they are testing my patience with its value really quickly) and the 5$ extra builder, scopy hasn’t gotten a dime from me. And they will never get another pack out of me. As I said, only a fool keeps investing once you reach diminishing returns.
lol, assuming whales can't just be whales and buy resources to repair
a whale buying packs lol what world do you live in 😂
whales are the biggest F2P there ever was!
How do we get the 40 tickets for the mission in the event store
from the battle pass
Battle pass complete and there is still an extra mission
anyone else not seeing galactic conflict event?
Before we choose between the Valtese and the Kriosians may we know something about them and their dispute, please?
CLAIM YOUR GIFT aka CHOOSE your side then your side will show up. just wait and it will eventually show up, everone is claiming it at the same time
Is there any benefit to coordinating between alliances and the server for the galactic conflict?
It's our first server IMS, so we have no benchmark. Do folks usually ban together as much as possible to ensure completion? Or is the bar set to pretty much guarantee completion?
looks like they still forgot to add the narrative behind the conflict .... 🤔
@earnest hornet You say choose wisely, but how can we choose between the Kriosians and the Valtese when we know nothing about them>
i dont say choose wisely 😄 but as an event, basically theres no difference, same rewards, only a different frame.
But i do agree a story would add to the dynamic
this game failed miserably due to their greed to not put a 'limit' as to how much you can spend/day or how fast you can level up, they figured, hey if someone wants to spend 200k in one day to get to level 50, good for us! game balance then slowly begins to get destroyed
and just like alot of other games do the same
In Show Support why do you get more rare ore than you do rare gas?
i had my choice made for me, those two options, the 2nd one is exactly where i routinely click for my 10 min gift, so guess what f'n happened
Lort have mercy if you hate the game so much Pm each other your misery and leave the rest of us to it.
Is anyone getting the ticketed events that show as being on today.
i did a fast click for my 10 min gift as usual, only to see that spot is now the choice for kirosians, whatever scopely, and yep, have no idea what faction it is for and so on
the moaning is getting boring now
so is your pathetic shilling cat, putting your face on block
and if you don't like the moaning, why the hell are you sitting in discored chat 24/7
the ticket events are a part of this

Stop coming day after day to complain
says the one with a standard red discord logo 😄
i've been on this maybe 20, 30 times in 2 and half years, so go F yourself
charming 🙂
enough of that
must be freaking tools from borg and or romu, hard to smell the difference
Welp guess you made an impact
look at that, all i see is 1 blocked message, repeating itself over and over again
hello 1 blocked message, how are you today?
The best was I was talking about someone else soooooo stop telling on yo self
ooooh a button
right, and I'm going to listen to someone with a neckbeard like that
are you done insulting now?? complaints are fine, too many too often gets a bit old, but no personal attacks to anyone
what personal attack
i said " a neckbeard like that" cupcake
now find the insulting word in the quotes
you grew it you live with it
not me, in general, i dont care what you say about my beard, your the one hiding behind a generic discord avatar
I really like the duel server milestone idea. Just kinda wished you weren't forced to use a ticket to do them. These ticketed events aren't bad, so I'm going to do it, but who knows what they may be in the future. Rather it be some other task to do that gives pts to the server milestone.
careful captainbob the thought police here may not like you having a personal opinion on the event
they gave you the ticket to do 1
For sure. But some people like to save them and hope for a better payout down the road. Prime directive for example or the factions ones. However if you want to be rewarded in the server milestone you have to use your free one. Not saying we can't do it, just that the choice to maybe hold a free ticket kinda gets taken away. If that makes sense. Still like the event.
thats fine, save them, but you wouldn't have got one the free one today if we didnt have ticket events, so....
we have also gotten i think 10 or 20 from the battle pass this time too
I guess the point is they didn't have to be ticketed events that fed into the server milestone. It could've been any old event. Just my 2cents on how to make this event better
Sigh
What level and server are you?
Garan was in my alliance he always complaining about their greed and then he buys a pack 🤣
Hes a "These packs are so expensive" and then buy 5 kinda guy?
Pretty much. Constantly complaining and insulting people.
Sounds familiar.
🐱👋 leela 🙂
spending faction credits not counting for GC for anyone else?
Did you use them to "Level Up Officers"
shall I post the latest trash talk from your alliance which was insulting the disabled?
who cares?
You can always tell everyone here what you said to me that got you banned 🤣
I do believe it was Kracka who was telling a player in MERC that 'he was off his meds', fairly typical hypocritical virtue signalling 2 faced snowflakes
it was worth it
made that rss back oh in about 2 days
this is the best you can do, come here and whine and whine cause your OPC ships are being blasted?
why should I have to tell anyone here the obvious
blocked you in game, block you here as well
Prefect 🤣. Was just letting people know he’s no different in game.
two, two blocked messaged, hah hah hah, I'm Count Garanula
must be fairly triggered to bring up something from what, 4 months ago?
🐱 👀 event chat
enough, this isnt the place to air your servers dirty laundry,
funny how you said nothing to starbase about doing this very thing that you mention, and he 'started it'
much like Cat started it by degrading me by suggesting my non use of images beside my name must somehow be a problem
here comes cat
Server 172, level 37. Still no points on the Valtese event
who cannot stay out of something that has nothing to do with it
you have some kind of malfunction stevensaaron?
We had a similar problem last time and I had to send in a ticket
you have very selective targeting of comments here, like you are triggered or biased
and trust me, this place is nothing to sweat about if I never come here again, empty victory for ROMU if you so choose to ban me, they may laugh in joy, I'll be celebrating
Thank you, I will look into this
I have to sleep now, it's nearly 4am. I will hope it is fixed in the morning. Thank you!
Could be server 192 actually, I'm a bit dozy lol
no its just that convo went far enough, you were carrying it on, no more need for it
Ah okay yes 192 makes more sense. There was an issue with that server event earlier which is already fixed, so you should be able to score now. If you write to CS and show your screenshot you can get the points you missed so far.
Ah okay thanks! I will
Thank you for the report!
Dude, relax.
i didnt
Faction credits are not counting toward event
I’m on server 33 and don’t have the ticket events
Any mods able to comment or assist?
checked your gift chests? [sorry if its a daft question]

np. 🙂 🐱 🖖
@lime raft when will we get the keys for the following event store mission
if you've leveled during the bp, you may not have received all the keys for every offered mission. The only thing to do is to contact CS and see if they'd be willing to grant you the necessary keys
is that an upper level mission?
I'm 39 and don't have it
Its a mission in deep space.
Wouldn’t bother unless you can kill a 6m power yellow. It’s a tough cookie
Why do I need to be and to kill it now for? Not like it would be the first mission I sat in for a long time..
Oh man, Garan going nuts on here now? Must be a day that ends in "Y" 😂
you must be triggered to bring up my name here
You might need to learn what the word "triggered" actually means.
Also, you're the one who went on a rant so if anyone is triggered, it's definitely you.
Anyone wanna venture a guess at what Garan's nickname is on server 8? Hint: it rhymes with Garan 🤣
you are the one jumping into something that had nothing to do with you
so that basically makes you a word that starts with C and ends with N
I like this guessing the word game, please continue, I am your Huckleberry
ticketed gas event gets less than the others at 35
The Away Teams SLB is dumb - my bracket is 36-39. Ops 39 players have epic assignments; none of the other ops levels in the bracket do. So it makes no sense for anyone ops 36, 37 or 38 to even try this leaderboard - the scoring metric is too heavily stacked in favour of 39s
careful some shills on server 8 will call you a 'Karen' for pointing out things like that
and I full agree with your observation
epics happen once in a blue moon
Which minimum ops level qualifies for cosmic clean up event?
Ops 17+
@humble latch shield or share 🤣😂
Lots of SLBs are functionally unwinnable for large groups of players. Just pass them by...Scopely knows...it's by design.
There is a difference between the SLBs where it's hard to win because higher ops have better ships, research, etc (I'm fine with those) and ones where three of the four levels in the bracket are level-locked out of competing
Raid it back, like everyone else
Yes, I'm agreeing with you. When I see those, I ignore them.
Final TGN arc starts next week?
next tuesday on the 31st, probably
Departure information is not needed
Awesome events today just broke 10,000 axiom chips
Scopely has really done a good job on sourcing this arc
@humble latch not to be mean dude, but it is a war game. Shielding is really required to survive. Yes, notifications suck but you should make sure your shield is up.
I cant go 30 minutes without shielding before a level 50 comes knocking
Is there a schedule for the next week available? I want to know if there's a Military Supremacy or not
they dont release mid arc event schedules :/
Also @humble latch seems like you are wanting attention rather then just passing feedback, you have posted it in nearly every channel, no need for that.
You reply to him 2 1/2 hours after he posted, seems you are just giving him the attention he wanted
scam, fishing as usual
What's the improvements in event rewards between ops 40 and 41?
Wow, cosmic cleanup really isn’t worth the effort once you’ve got all the ship bps! Ops 36 chest pull is pretty pathetic! 😂
Yep. I stopped doing it a few months ago.
i got 1100 spore drive parts a few weeks back
was freaking stoked
but yeah its mostly bad lol
You should’ve bought lottery tickets that week 😂
So I don't see a way to earn battle points today? And I still need 15k to max out the overflow.
What level are you? I have clear the coast
I'm level 25 and I don't see a battle pass daily either. Maybe it's delayed
Level 25 and below have no battle pass event today.
@vital holly and @young parcel and @sage crane can you please restart and tell me if you see it now?
For sure 19 22 and 25 do not have.
I have restarted and nothing changed.
Level 19 account.
Once more if you don't mind - it was delayed but should be on now
I see hostile hunt now Thanks @lime raft
Hostile hunt level 19. Will pass on info. 👍😋
Thank you for the reports, apologies for the delay!
@lime raft ok this time it worked. Thanks.
Any advice on to keep tng recruit and mining crew tokens or not?
