[frosty notch]

not, who knows when or if they will return )

but if you want to gamble for return with better crew set, sure )

[cedar plinth]

Can anyone explain how the math on the exocomps works... I had a 140 day research, used a 25% speed up and it took off less the 8 days...is there a Scopely math course I can sign up for because real world math doesn't work here

[frosty notch]

it cumulative with all speed bonuses you already have from r&d building and researches

so the higher ops level and better researches you have the less effective it will be in total

[abstract gate]

Those math courses are not available

[abstract gate]

Basically it works as every other math in stfc universe - bonus applies only to base value, not the values that you see with all your other research bonuses added.

[abstract gate]

So, you haven't seen any info that they could be useful later?

[frosty notch]

probably they will be like tos currency and will return from time to time with complete tng crew set

no exact info )

[cedar plinth]

If it's the base value then it should be even more effective, unless they do it where the research applies and then the exocomp bonus and they don't stack...basically making the exocomps as usless as they were in the show

[abstract gate]

Yup

Basically, they managed to do it as shitty as possible. Only thing that we can do it accept it and move on.

[cedar plinth]

Scopely telling us about all the new things they are doing for us

[abstract gate]

My larger problem is that most of these "buffs" need to be activated prior the use. Which is not user friendly and annoying. And cannot recall a game where it works in that same crappy way

[abstract gate]

Especially the lies! Love it

[cedar plinth]

You can't have that without that line in there 😂

[abstract gate]

Need to binge rewatch DS9 again to renew my batteries

[cedar plinth]

All I'm saying is if they don't Garak justice...well I don't want to be on his bad side, I would rather be on John Wicks bad side 😂

[abstract gate]

I would say that I want Garak in stfc, but i know it will be crappy

But at least they could put some of his sarcasm into story arcs conversations

[cedar plinth]

if one of his abilities isn't called "Heard while Hemming Pants" I'm gonna riot 😂

[tawny marsh]

F2p planning can beat whales

My SLb is up to ops 50

[frosty notch]

its almost 1 day left )

whales can do it in 10 mins

[keen crag]

I'm f2p and I finished second in a riker slb last month. I could have won it but didn't need to

So it is possible. But don't expect to be able to compete every time

That was months of saving mada tokens for me

[robust vapor]

For reductions they operate as efficiency increases, not time/cost reduction, and the formula that you need to use is: base / (1 + sum of bonuses).

[shrewd knot]

Seriously Sundays need to take a break.

[tranquil crater]

nothing applies before anything else, and they all stack…. but they don’t modify eachother and they stack as a sum of all bonuses.

so if you are already at 1200% of base and you add 50%…. you are now at 1250%. Not exactly world shattering

[desert laurel]

whaling is a state of mind, and f2p cannot win if someone chooses to whale a win

[tawny marsh]

Human behavior does not alter from f2p vs whales

They could just buy the exocomp factory packs instead

99.99$ gives 3x the rewards from the slb. Whales aren't stupid they aren't going to spend 100$ for a chance at 30$ work of rewards where they can spend 100$ and get 3x the max payout

[desert laurel]

they could spend 100 for 130 worth of rewards, that's value

[tawny marsh]

Yeah its not even close

They would have to be wipe your arse with glass stupid to make that choice

And there's no limit on the factory 3 packs gets you to level 40. So it's not even a difficult choice anyway

[desert laurel]

so it's not even 100 for 130 of value, you don't need to use all of what's in that pack to win.

[tawny marsh]

Guess you are a glass user lol

[desert laurel]

nah, but I'd crush you if I were a whale just to do it

[tawny marsh]

Thats why your not a whale, or would ever be one. That mentality would never allow you success

To afford that behavior

[desert laurel]

if success is winning, then yes, I'd win every time

[tawny marsh]

Success is not winning, success is achieving a goal that improves your situation.

[desert laurel]

afford? it's a fraction of a pack to win, this is pretty easy calculation

[tawny marsh]

Go ahead do it then

Put your money where your mouth is

[desert laurel]

then your goals are different, winning is important too

[tawny marsh]

Its not, only for children with weak egos

That need exterior validation for what they accomplish

[halcyon sentinel]

haha

[desert laurel]

the trophy is the accomplishment, if you want to squeeze out value, it's not really a whale mentality

[halcyon sentinel]

have you talked to half the whales? thats them in a nutshell jay

[desert laurel]

look at any of the sports teams, you think winning doesn't matter? that's just crazy

and if they could spend a little more to achieve it? that's a small cost

[tawny marsh]

Spending 100s of dollars to win an event just for your ego is sign of a severe mental illness

[halcyon sentinel]

hardly mate lol

[desert laurel]

it's not hundreds, we just went over this. It's a fraction of a hundred

[tawny marsh]

No at my current score you would need 3-4 away team packs

[desert laurel]

700 pts over 2nd? that's easy

everything you did for free, a whale can match

the only thing he needs to cover is rng

[tawny marsh]

Yeah, shame I still have 4 packs worth of speedups and refresh tokens saved

Only will cost him 700 dollars to win

For what he could have bought for 1 pack

[desert laurel]

and what makes you think he doesn't have the same resources you do?

[tawny marsh]

Because that's not how whales think

They burn everything for instant gratification

Its why they spend

[desert laurel]

if whales dont' think like you do then why are you trying to say they wouldn't pay for the win?

[tawny marsh]

Before I continue please let me know if you have a learning disability. Because its obvious from the pictures

[desert laurel]

relax with the insults, either argue better or let it go

[tawny marsh]

If you do ill explain it step by step according to your limitations

Not an insult, I sincerely believe it

[halcyon sentinel]

ok....

[tawny marsh]

So I'm asking out of consideration

I wouldn't want to phrase things in a way you wouldn't understand

[desert laurel]

that's exactly why my assessment is correct, I'd crush you and show you that your planning and saving means nothing, you could never win unless I let you

[tawny marsh]

Yes, ok so I don't think I have the skills to simplify my argument for you maybe someone else more capable then I am can do it for me.

Oh and I apologize for calling you a glass wiper, I thought you were just trolling. I really didn't belive it was possible you were serious.

[broken horizon]

will monthly events start tomorrow? anyone know when crucible of war will be?

[desert laurel]

interim events would start, usually we get cow to start it off, but they've moved stuff around before

[ripe jungle]

Depends on the server too. I finished second in the Picard spend leaderboard they had in the riker month, and I didn’t even consciously save up for it. We only went up to 280k for first and 220k for second.

[ripe jungle]

Winning actually gives value for sports teams. @tawny marsh ‘s point here is that the reward for winning this slb is 200 tng recruit tokens, and you can simply buy 2400 of those (plus side items) for $100, or 1100 for $50. So it makes no sense to spend more than $10 or so to try to win this slb. I don’t think a professional sports player for eg would drop serious cash to win some neighborhood pickup game where the reward is a coupon for a meal at the local burger joint.

[halcyon sentinel]

his point wasnt misunderstood, he's simply wrong in thinking that point is correct and applies to all people lol

[desert laurel]

If that were true I wouldn't be in an slb against a spender now. And it's only by their grace that he isn't getting crushed by a whale. There's literally nothing he could do against someone that plopped 1k down. He cannot will a win, it was the whale's to give away.

[halcyon sentinel]

you think it makes sense to spend many thousands of dollars on a mobile game for a start?

[wary merlin]

if you plan ahead you can beat spenders. for example for the away team slb i have been doing the away team missions but not claiming them.

[desert laurel]

sure, and spenders could do the same, and then spend 1k on top

[wary merlin]

they could.

[keen crag]

Wow that's really low, I think the biggest guy on ours currently is lvl 46 but lvl 40 only opened like less than a month ago

2-3 weeks

[bold citrus]

@keen crag how old is your server mate? 😂

[ripe jungle]

Sure but that’s a different argument. Don’t say that a whale is gonna spend to win because of “value” like you were before. There are people who will burn money just to be able to tell themselves that they won, sure.

[desert laurel]

His argument was: "F2p planning can beat whales." do you agree?

[ripe jungle]

My bracket was up to 27. I don’t think we really have whales on our server though. There only 4-5 lvl 39s and 40 hasn’t opened up yet.

[ripe jungle]

No, but one of your arguments was “they can spend 100 for 130 of value”, and I don’t agree with that either for this slb.

[desert laurel]

they're going to be spending anyway, why not pick up extra value on top of that?

[eager hollow]

@keen crag wow from 39 to.46 in 3 weeks, thats scary

[hexed gorge]

I want to know where all the common came from to do that 🤣

[plucky ermine]

There is that 99.99 lat pack you know 😉

[pine prism]

do someone know if there will be event for riker now? last month was one for picard after battlepass event

[eager hollow]

@pine prism no idea but if next month is final month of arc we could see an auction each week for all the epic officers, that would be awesome

[desert laurel]

With one epic officer auction a week the only way I can see us getting the older epics in auction again is if sept's officers are rare. Would make sense for a rare Tasha, but a lack of a new epic that month would be a pretty huge letdown

[keen crag]

server 56, idk tbh

[keen crag]

gotcha

[keen crag]

ikr? in the first day it opened 2-3 people went from 39 to 42 in about 1 hr

crazy what people spend on this game

[eager hollow]

@keen crag we had people stuck on ops 39 for a fair few months so going up a couple of levels wasn't unreasonable but that rate between 39 and 46 is mindblowing, i just play my own game at my pace and have fun in my budget

[keen crag]

Yeah for sure, we probably had a fair few stuck at 39 as well. I'm f2p so believe me I know about playing at your own pace 😆

[eager hollow]

@keen crag in my alliance i had a pure f2p get to 39 faster than me,

[tired cliff]

Ummmm hey scopley you guys ended the battle pass a day early!!!

We didn’t get the entire battle pass overflow.

[meager galleon]

Amateur numbers!

[weak copper]

No they didn’t

You must have missed an event somewhere along the way

[keen crag]

I'm currently lvl 33 (a couple defense platforms away from 34) started at the beginning of the year. I don't think I'm winning any speedrun contests but I'm happy with my progression so far

It's certainly doable

[wind fog]

Well, I almost don’t believe it. I have the MilSup event, first time in months, and first time since I’ve been ops 28/29.

[keen crag]

I got it too but holy s*** have to kill 500 38+ ships

I don't have enough repair speedups 😆

[tawny marsh]

Just build a g3 epic ez pz

[keen crag]

oh yeah that's so ez

I wanted the augur but the scopely gods are giving me the ent much faster sooo..

guess it's ent first

[wind fog]

Armada chests? Just curious, I have a long grind coming up.

[wispy obsidian]

Hmm same thing here did all events daily and still missing 15K on battlepass overflow

[tired cliff]

Yeah I did the event every day.

No way I missed one since I’m in the game ten dam hours per day.

[wispy obsidian]

Same

[tired cliff]

I’ll put in a scopley ticket so I can get the usual cookie cutter scopley “F-you give us more money” response.

[minor cave]

Not specific to COW but this is the problem with the current officer pool. This is a 5 chest COW pull, and there are SO many officers contained within I actually need, but what I actually got was 2 officers and a shed ton of useless garbage rolled in glitter

[abstract gate]

Lol. Didnt got ist and dont know why

[rough dust]

So what's the deal here... One of my Commodores got this today. We're both Ops 31, nearly equal strength, I'm a little stronger.

Did I get it? NOPE!

How in the world does Scopely decide who gets Military Supremacy?!

[abstract gate]

its a mystery

[rough dust]

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/BriefNippyDeermouse-max-1mb.gif

[novel hollow]

I posted before that being able to turn off receiving transporter patterns and XP for chests would be a good feature.

[rough dust]

Why would anyone ever want to turn this off?

[novel hollow]

To get the officers in the pack instead of shards.

Click on his example

[rough dust]

I see what you mean. Force the game to give me the officers in the pack that I don't have Maxed out, rather than get the TPs or OXP.

[novel hollow]

Yes 👍

[abstract gate]

would they weight the RNG differently if they did that? 🤔

[rough dust]

I like that Idea. SO long as it's a toggle i can enable/disable. 😄

[novel hollow]

Not sure but duck I can get Spock 90 ways but I can’t get zhou for nothing.

[keen crag]

Yes from Armada chests. Here's a tip I wish I'd know (assuming you're f2p or very low pay) go ahead and open your epic mada chests as you get them. if you're in a decent alliance (very important to find a good alliance to get you event rewards f2p) then you'll get enough epic chests. But save ALL of your rare chests until you have the ability to get epic bp's (lvl 32 I think). Some may not agree and say you need the speed ups and uc mats. But this is BY FAR the cheapest and best way to get epic bps quickly. If you have a nice stockpile by the time you get there there's a good chance you'll get a fair few bps.

Unfortunately I didn't know this and spent mine along the way

wish I hadn't now

[novel hollow]

I think you meant “don’t” open along the way above.

At 36 you get the jelly added and drop out the hijacks.

[desert laurel]

alternatively, open rares too and use those to fuel your officer slb wins

[keen crag]

ultimately up to your pref, but for me I would rather have saved them and gotten more free bps than gotten troi 😆

[desert laurel]

yeah, sometimes you get unlucky with the officer that pops up. I used mine for lorca and gigi, both t2, so pretty good return

[keen crag]

Oh nice, like I mentioned above I went all in for riker last month. Pretty happy with my choice

I wasn't around for lorca slb's unfortunately

[soft spire]

@scopely the price are nice but i don’t want the interpret please make the even easyer 🙈🙈

for all the we can make it

[keen crag]

👆 👆 👆 👆

500 lvl 38+ ships is just not feasible for someone with that little annoying thing called a life

[novel hollow]

Lol it’s very feasible

Wait til it’s 40s that’s a bish.

[vital holly]

500 ships regardless of level in 1 day is not feasible.

Point scaling should be a thing

[novel hollow]

It’s not one day

[vital holly]

Oh right 3 days total.

Still that's 166 ships a day plus 1

[novel hollow]

Done it often

[wind fog]

It’s any hostile but that doesn’t really help the higher levels since borg probes don’t go that high. I assume killing that many swarms isn’t helpful either.

@keen crag thanks for the tip. I already open my epic chests since it’s only once a week but I can hold off on rare chests.

[gray crescent]

How come only certain people get the Supremacy event and others don't?

Multiple people in my alliance ranging form lvl 30 - 32 have it and I don't. I'm lvl 32 as well. I'm just wondering why some people get it and others don't and if there are certain requirements required to get it/be excluded from getting it.

[wind fog]

It’s a mystery. Grinding 500 high-level reds for the uncommon crystals is not that great, but if you want to build a ship then it’s a useful event.

I’ve been 28/29 for 4+ months and got the MilSuP event for first time at this level.

[merry fulcrum]

Open em every chance you get

That's your best bet tbh if you're free to play but that's if you're in a good active alliance

[keen crag]

I don't have that kind of time. Grinding 25ish lvl 38-39 is about all I have to do dailies. Otherwise I'm up till 2am cause I only get time at night

[dusky linden]

20k points short on bp overflow despite not missing a day or milestone. Ticket sent

[cunning radish]

yeah theyll check and giv u it if so

[dapper drum]

they owe me a finished overflow too, extremely rare for me to miss any event other than FH

and I was 20k short

but I just chalked it upto bad scopely math and trying to get people to buy battlepoints

not gonna lose sleep over such crap rewards anyways and a horrible overused avatar

[frosty notch]

well its simple ) dont do domination bp 1 second after update 😉

let server have time to get rid of lags first

[dapper drum]

yeah never done events at reset either

usually 1 or 2 hours after reset or 12 hours when I'm at work

[earnest hornet]

nope, cos i finished Overflow doing every BP event, no points purchased

[dapper drum]

I was 20k short, and didnt' miss any events but I'm not gonna sweat it

I know scopely does this to a few people for quite a few things to try and spur spending but I just laugh and say no

[earnest hornet]

no they dont that to people.

[dapper drum]

but they do

try and to back them up all you want to keep that green name but scopely is a class AAA scammer

[earnest hornet]

no they don't, everyone has the same points available from the battle pass events,

[dapper drum]

most don't care or notice

you do get 1 out of 20 that will come in here and point it out

rest don't care because they are immune to scams

don't know how they think 800 ultra credits and pittance of lat with a horrid avatar that is overused day 1 is worth 26.99$CAD

[abstract gate]

https://c.tenor.com/1s92wa3FFJIAAAAM/happy-day-sister.gif

[dusky dome]

Some lvl 32 have it and som +34 I havent it and are lvl 33

[tawny marsh]

@dapper drum I have to agree with @earnest hornet I've never had an issue with the bp overflow that wasn't quickly fixed by cs. I've missed the overflow one time and that's because I didn't complete 2 days of events cuz I just forgot.

[dapper drum]

except I haven't missed any events and were few others complaining as well

and when comes to people defending scopley if they are green or purple they have 0 credibility with me

when comes to helping players its a different story

[pale cobalt]

I've never had any issues with the overflow events

[cunning radish]

they most certainly dont thats the most bs thing ive ever heard

[pale cobalt]

Also members with a green name aren't associated with Scopely (one or 2 might be) they got the green name for helping players not because they are associated with Scopely

[cunning radish]

the one time recently an event didnt score properly they gave it back to players

[dapper drum]

they will defend scopley to keep that color

look at how many purples are gone because they refused

[cunning radish]

??

[earnest hornet]

I dont give a crap what you may think of me, I dont defend scopely, I attempt to keep a balanced view, but also to make wild claims that they are scammers and are akin to activly making it so some aren't completing it is tantamount to slander
but a few thousand short yes could be a glitch or something, or failing to miss a final milestone, 20k missed this arc, is definitely something missed,
Send a message to CS about it and they will see,

yet you seem to like making a note about it even tho as you say you dont care and can't be bothered, but you seem to be bothered enough to be making a deal out of it

[dapper drum]

I wasn't bothered until it was brought back up

[main forum]

Hi, I know it is not the channel, but if I may contribute, restart (not even forcing closing via app info window) nor cleaning cache or rebooting the device makes the missing alliance tag reappear. Looks like only the alliances with diplomacy icon, but not all of them, and not always, are affected.

[wind fog]

FYI I’ve never had an issue with overflow event but this is the first time I can remember where there were no extra points whatsoever. The final total was exactly the same as the final milestone. That meant there was no margin for error; one milestone missed and you missed the last milestone. Poor form on their part as there’s usually some extra points. I remember one month you could hit the last milestone a day early. Also, I never start the bp events right after reset. I usually wait 1-2 hours before starting a bp event because there’s usually some kind of server/lag/scoring issues. Sad but true.

[earnest hornet]

but you forget that this was what it was for, originally we didnt have anything, once the Battlepass was done that was it, it was created to be something that it would be completed if EVERY day was completed,

ok miss the final one, but think you still got the milestones you did get,

so it's not that people got nothing

[desert laurel]

the only time they let you finish the overflow early was due to getting double events when you shouldn't have. Otherwise, they only give you enough to finish it + some meaningless extra. That extra isn't enough to fill the final MS of a day's event if you missed it, so it is literally meaningless.

20k is big enough that the only way to have missed that much is to not be credited for an entire day's event. This can easily happen if you aren't paying attention to how much overflow pts are possible as the month goes on. I'd suggest the community post daily data on the current max so that we can all check what we should be at as it happens every day.

[wind fog]

No need to reply to me dude

Very unnecessary

[nova valley]

not only that, but the overflow event has ALWAYS been billed as "100% perfect participation. zero room for error" since that event first came out, that's been the expectation for that event.

[eager hollow]

Anyone noticed an exocomp boost turn off after a node reset? Was mining at 22k per hour, reset node after exocomp expires and suddenly 18k, other miner still mining was unaffected

[wind fog]

If the buff expired, then it follows that your mining rate goes back to normal.

[eager hollow]

Normally its when the ship redocks the buff stops, the buff was still working on the othership which i didn't reset

[dire veldt]

did you reset the node by recalling and cancelling?

[eager hollow]

No just usually move it 1 second away, i thought and was aware about the recall thing

[waxen sedge]

I didn't check/calculate the actual rate, but my displayed mining rate reverts back to the original after an exocomp buff expires if I reset a node too. Presuming the displayed rate is correct, it doesn't seem to be working as it was reported to work, i.e. if the ship is docked when you activate it it won't expire until returning. To be honest I wouldn't expect it to work that way, but it is how it was reportedly supposed to work.

[wind fog]

I would assume if it expires before you move off a node then it goes back to original rate.

After you move off the node.

[eager hollow]

@waxen sedge could be a display issue, i will check next time i put a boost on

[nova valley]

refreshing the node will also kill it.

i confirmed that this morning actually. i was equally disappointed LOL so the key if you wanna extend your buff is find the biggest node you can lol

[eager hollow]

@nova valley i watched your video stream and thought it would extend until after recall or redock. Thanks for confirming 👍

[nova valley]

IT DID on day 1! LOL

we saw it on screen. BUT today,

I SUSPECT there's one other qualifier. to REFRESH the node may kill it. but if you move off one that still has stuff on it, it may stay good as long as you don't hit recall.

i activated another exocomp. i'll be testing this in about 2 hours LOL

but the ONLY diff on screen vs what i did this morning was that my node was zero.

[south arrow]

That’s completely stupid and we should all expect that from scopley

[eager hollow]

@south arrow you mean the one time they get it correct so an 8 hr buff really means 8 hrs? Seems reasonable to me

[waxen sedge]

Are there any buffs that are 8 hours?

I guess there are, I have some already.

[eager hollow]

@waxen sedge both my research and building speed buffs are 8 hrs

[nova valley]

yeah. and TECHNICALLY the build and research 8 hour buffs are way longer lasting. those buffs only require you to START the buld/research during that time, but their effect is for the duraction OF that build/research.

[acoustic yoke]

It’s just like the territory speed up buffs, otherwise they’d have to have the timer moving faster for the duration of the buff which I assume would be a mess to code

[junior oar]

So, does anyone know why the Military Supremacy Event only initiates for some player and not others of the same level?

[topaz beacon]

need tokens/tickets , or server just does not like you

[junior oar]

been an ongoing issue for a couple of years.

[abstract gate]

scopely target the event for certain players. scopely wont tell us what the targeting requirements are - they seem to change each time the event is ran

[junior oar]

Sometimes I get it and sometimes I do not. You only know if other players tell you they have the event, as Scopely do not release an event schedule outside of arcs.

[ornate geyser]

It's how Scopely has always done it. And based on the overall buggies of the game, I'm not sure even they know, lol.

[junior oar]

Yes, I find it incredulous that people are willing to pay money for such a bugged game.

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/mrs-browns-boys-brown-thats-nice-nod-gif-5821111

[earnest hornet]

It’s always been a ‘special’ event, for 3 years, it’s been a random event that some would get or not based on some set of requirements that we haven’t figured out, we’d had some ideas in the past, but then it would adjust.

[novel hollow]

Do you get the buff if you start the exo after you start the build/research or only on new ones?

[junior oar]

I know, I just have enough D4 BP to build and complete event in a oner.

[junior oar]

I think only on new ones

[novel hollow]

I do want to say, while y’all thinks it’s so buggy?

[earnest hornet]

Only on new ones.

[novel hollow]

Mil Sup isn’t a bug it’s just a dumb rng

[earnest hornet]

It calculates the build/research timer like a research, once it’s started that time is locked in,

[novel hollow]

Yeah silly me should have started one before the ops 37 build. Oh well should be done endish of next arc. No real bump in the arc for 37 anyway (is there?)

[nova valley]

only on new ones started. but then those new ones started will last the duration of the build.

[tired cliff]

Seems to have a relation to some kind of determination if your ships suck for your opps level.

So if you get the event scopley has arbitrarily determined your ships are crap.

[robust vapor]

Except that when I started getting it before it was after I tiered my ships up..

So unless they thought my ships were too terrible to offer it, and then after making them better they were just terrible enough 😂
Basically every theory that people have put forth hasn't held up for someone 🤷‍♂️

[tired cliff]

I haven’t gotten that event in over a year. But the pattern seemed to be something like: if you’re past a ship milestone opps level and haven’t yet built one then you qualify for the event. Example: you have reached opps 37. But haven’t built an epic yet that gets buildable at opps 36. Something like that.

[robust vapor]

That's basically what the old theory was, but that was busted ages ago

I mean it was busted as soon as it was suggested really 😂
Every theory put forth hasn't held up 🤷‍♂️ frankly i still think it's just random, but frankly only Scopely would know the real answer..

[novel hollow]

the more people who get it the more who will complain that it's too many ships to kill.

[tropic siren]

It is too many ships to kill though

[meager spindle]

Yep, got a maxed sally at ops31 and just got the event for the first time. My sally was also maxed in ops 30 and I didn’t get it.

[robust vapor]

Oh man, max Saladin must be too weak for a level 31 😂
It's literally the same q&a every single time the event runs though, Scopely should just put us out of our misery and tell us already 😬

[ripe jungle]

I got the event first time at 28 and haven’t built any of the 28’s yet

So I guess I’m consistent with the theory

I gotta kill 36s if I don’t build the sally and I don’t have ships capable of grinding 36s yet. I’d spend more in repairs getting to the first milestone than the reward 🤣

[pale cobalt]

MS is based on progress but they change what part of progress they are using to determine who gets the event ie. ships, buildings, research

[robust vapor]

Sure, except the exact same not quite right pattern seems to happen every time..

[abstract gate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Nrv5teMc9Y

[near sequoia]

i dont get this event and why my mate who has exactly same ships and level like me has it and i dont. maybe the "payers" get it more often, why they dont speak about it. what a shame even if i am not right, but rolling out events not for everyone is UNBALANCED like all of your ships and mechanics. NERF BURNING more, whales still cry ......😂 😂 😂 😂

[dapper drum]

its more for f2p then p2w

MS shows up for those under developed for their faction and ops

[near sequoia]

so my mate who has 100k more power is more underdeveloped than me? he has 2 primes i dont...

[ripe jungle]

Btw is MS only between month thing? So next month end is when I might get another?

[dapper drum]

MS now coincides with CoW

[near sequoia]

sorry not true, u just say that to yourself like ultimatdjz with the exocomps "they last for the whole build" 😂 😂 😂 😂 they wouldnt last for the complete duration if scopely could manage to speed up the amount overtime and nit instant. they cant revert it from the programming language thats all

[dapper drum]

but its older than CoW

[dapper drum]

Power has nothing to do with it

if you get MS you are underdeveloped for your faction and ops

[near sequoia]

power shows your develoent doesnt it?

[dapper drum]

power is easily manipulated

there are people with 10m more power than me that can't even touch me

[near sequoia]

yep, but still shows that my mate has more development than me

but he has ms

i dont

[dapper drum]

well you are not one of the chosen

SOL better luck next time

[near sequoia]

and thats all i want to say cherrry picking is unfair and unbalanced

but scopely has nothing balances

[dapper drum]

its not cherry picked though

its run through an algorithm that scopely won't tell us the requirements for

[near sequoia]

yep cuz pay2in 😂

[dapper drum]

most we can deduce from it is based on OPS and faction and development between the 2

and no people who pay have it far less than those that don't

[near sequoia]

i dont get what u mean by development between them 2 makes no sense for me what u are trying to say. my factions are locked at 10mln or higher, so is for my mate. my mate has 12mln more fed repu than me, and is on same building level than me....

what is my faction development if not my faction ships??????

and i am telling u that a mate who has more development than me has MS and i dont....

[silver pike]

im ops 31 and dont have it

[rough dust]

The game sure does get boring outside of an Arc... Can we get a fun event today? Something?

[dapper drum]

apex spy

with 100x the requirement

[abstract gate]

I think he was trolling you :-)

He is however right about this one : No one knows who gets MS.

[near sequoia]

i didnt disagree in this one 😂

scoeply is king in handling things without transperancy and without any balancing

[dapper drum]

actually was telling him exactly what we know which is only part of the algorithm, so far all we can see is its based upon the relationship of your faction, faction ships and ops level

there are other triggers we do not know

[peak tangle]

Im not sure its even remotely true, my buddy has it (ops 31, 2 factions locked, 1.4 mio sala) and i have it aswell (ops 29, 2 factions 2 mio, 620k sala). And both need to kill lvl 36 🤣🤣 anyway stupid ass event

[dapper drum]

even if you match every requirement in the algorithm the event will not trigger if your rep/ships/ops are not aligned to it

[wind fog]

It’s always been a mystery and everything written above is just speculation. For example, I’ve been 28/29 for over 4 months and this is the first time I’m getting MilSup event (I used to get it every month before I hit 28). The one thing that has changed in the last month is that I’ve locked 2 factions in the last couple of weeks. So maybe your faction rep level is a factor somehow.

[dapper drum]

this has always been the case that we know of

when I had it from 28 to 33 I was triple locked and had all 3 lvl 28 faction ships, it wanted me to build the rares but i skipped them

when I went 34 and built ent it was gone

[wind fog]

I should have mentioned that I used to get MilSup event every month before I hit 28. Edited my earlier comment.

[deep steeple]

Used to always get it too until I also built the enterprise. not had it for 2 months now. triple faction locked ops 36. Not overly bothered as i dont have time to grind 500 hostiles

[dapper drum]

before you goto 39, let your armada chests get your 2nd ent BPs over 100 and see if it comes back for you

I got 2 MS events before going 39 when that happened to me

[meager spindle]

I am single faction locked and 3M for roms and still got it. Maybe locking one or two factions is a factor

[abstract gate]

the requirements change every time the event is ran 🤔

[viscid haven]

When’s the next stella skin event starting?

[wind fog]

Usually runs as part of Apex events, on days 2 and 3.

[abstract gate]

Exocomps should work whether you are mid way at building, research, ship in different system etc.

If I have build times of 22 days on a building, having an exocomp might have gotten it down by a day or so, but..... If exocomps worked anytime, then I could've reduced my build timings a lot more than a day.

If scopely wants everyone to push higher ops, they should understand the same reasons why most of us can't push forward (lack of speed ups, for example).

[robust vapor]

Time and costs are locked in when you start the construction..

Then it couldn't operate as bonus to build speed. They'd instead have to make a new bonus to reduce time remaining, that would work at much higher efficacy (and probably at higher efficacy than they intend).

[robust vapor]

I mean ignoring the fact that it's a completely different mechanic and operating in a way that they haven't intended it to be used, so probably not really simple.. (I mean it would need to tracked separately to the alliance helps too, so not really the same code)..
But using 15 helps would actually only apply 14% reduction 😂

Also 15% build build isn't a 15% time reduction, and it's unlikely Scopely would want it to be a straight 15% reduction as opposed to their usual efficiency bonus.

That is adding new code to account for the new mechanic, you're making this harder and harder for Scopely programmers 😜

I mean I think they need to just rebuild the entire client. But your defense to my comment was that it was really simple and that they could keep the same code.. instead we would have to rely on a company that's notoriously bad at making even basic changes (Pike still is bugged, even after they eventually updated the text..) to add in a completely new bonus mechanic to operate in addition to and separately to the help system (which doesn't even operate as they describe..).
You guys are free to day dream about the game you want, I'm pointing out that the bonus is operating exactly as expected and within the constraints of the system 🤷‍♂️

Armadas? Didn't that take them a year to release, and still haven't got the system working properly 😂

I'm not saying that they're physically impossible of doing it.. I'm saying that you're asking a company that has a proven record of both not making basic changes and shoddy work to implement an entirely new bonus system, and one that is much work effective than the one that they gave us..

And again, the help system doesn't even work as described.. like most basic things in the game..

[quasi token]

Better implementation would be that when you press the build button a notification will come up asking if you want to apply a exocomp. Before starting your building/research.

[dapper drum]

people are still using these stupid exocomp things?

[robust vapor]

Where have I stated any measure of work required? 😑 Is it a large amount of work to update a description? Is it a large amount of work to make a mission award 12 blueprints instead of 6? Is it a large job to do 1% of start time instead of 1% of remaining time? I've not said it's a difficult task, I've said that you're asking Scopely to do something that they're terrible at doing because people can't think about what they're doing.

[dapper drum]

only purpose exocomps have served me so far is for event points

pretty useless other than that

[robust vapor]

I didn't even use them for that..

[dapper drum]

consume delete consume delete consume delete

no need to buy a pack

got so many useless ones from events

finished any event requiring them before using them up

[bitter snow]

Ripper is also a sole developer, on his own codebase, with a DB he's already intimately familiar with... working on something that's 2+ years old, developed by people who may no longer be with the company, most likely with parts that have been rushed in the past.... completely different kettle of fish

Added to the above... he's also not beholden to management deadlines

And most of those are so low impact, that while they'll be on the radar somewhere, the priority in terms of time vs impact is going to be waaaay down the list 😦

[robust vapor]

What is high up the list? 😂

[bitter snow]

who knows 🙂

warp times feel less important to me than say, missing alliance tags this last month 😂

[robust vapor]

So basically just marching forward with new content? 🤷‍♂️
Which was kind of my point.

[robust vapor]

I'm still waiting for the protected cargo fix.. why did I even bother figuring it out if they can't even fix an "if hostile" condition 😶

[ripe jungle]

What’s the protected cargo bug? Did u guys make a list somewhere 🤣

[robust vapor]

Basically the resource hunter bonuses (officers, research, ship ability) will also apply to players.
So if you're overcargo by say 1000 and they have a 20% bonus they'll actually take up to 1200 (up to your total cargo limit), and any amount that they could have taken but didn't will be lost to space like regular OC.
Does not effect 5of10 thankfully, but presents problems for Parsteel, tritanium, Dilithium, Borg nanoprobes, eclipse security codes, and presumably the eclipse Armada loot.

[ripe jungle]

I suppose that makes a twisted kind of sense if they documented it.. might actually make those officers cm more useful 🤣

[dapper drum]

the old academy crew was great for cherry picking in old days for raiding

get past the vaults on trit or dil with them

just had to time it to the final hit before vaults

[abstract gate]

Is the Military Supremacy level locked? Been waiting for it to build a D4 for the event, and got bubkis

[dapper drum]

stops at 39

[ornate geyser]

If they worked "any time" then they'd only work for their stated time. The way they've done is it far better.

I didn't even know 2 of those 3 were bugs, lol.

[broken dust]

It’s return of the mega cube. Sooooo gonna sûck again i bet😂

Better have rewards worth it

[willow pine]

http://dl3.joxi.net/drive/2021/08/26/0007/3783/495303/03/52b1f58f25.png

[last sun]

Borg mega cube?! Seriously?!. Boo these people. Don’t give them a damn dime. Awful event

[inner ermine]

sad for new severs nothing to do today

[lavish hinge]

So...if you don't have any borg armada directives...

???

[inner ermine]

you pay for them

[ripe jungle]

What if you don’t have a vidar… 28+ got this even without vidar

[inner ermine]

taking the day off

[lavish hinge]

oh i see it, event store. Thanks

[pale cobalt]

Or get them from the event store

[lavish hinge]

That's a pretty crappy way to do it, imo

Want to compete in the event to get war funds? Spend your war funs

[pale cobalt]

I agree they aren't cheap either way

[versed stirrup]

Bug?

[fiery iron]

<@&509690795536941056> / <@&509691205798592532> / <@&509691611903426561> - there were the Invictus refit skin tokens in the event store just now, but they've now disappeared?

[lavish hinge]

Day 3 of this event is armadas only. I wonder if we'll get free directives then. Having to pay for them with war funds just to get war funds seems pretty silly.

[meager galleon]

Pulled for a moment to investigate problem

Should be back when fixed

[low cargo]

So we get Infinitus shards int the store then they disappear?

[rustic spear]

Wtf? The vidar skin was in event store and now gone

[young pike]

They were giving too many shards. Some of my group got full unlocks right away

[last sun]

They just took the skins out out the event store. Seriously scopy can screw up a wet dream. This event is absolutely pointless now.

[wet crown]

Not too happy that I wont be able to to complete this event at all simply because I dont have a vidar yet, it would of been great to be able to get one from this little event store but since I dont have one I just dont get the chance to even try unlock it

[lavish hinge]

Based on the currency they're giving out today, you were only going to get 3-4 shards of it anyway without spending money.

This event is a let down

[steep mist]

add at least 2 more lvl 33 systems. come on!

[tranquil belfry]

Or a 35 system!

Whole server fitting into a 33 is pathetic

Crap rewards. Not going to bother :)

[lavish hinge]

It really is

[young pike]

They are sourcing old content isn’t that always a positive

[lavish hinge]

Are they though? They're barely sourcing it...

A FTP player is going to get maybe 3-4 officer shards or 3-4 refit shards. That's not sourcing.

Even if it were once/month event, that's 15 months to unlock the skin.

[young pike]

Better then never giving anything.

Would you prefer a pack?

[solar fog]

Sooooo much lag in the level 33 system

[tranquil belfry]

Skin is rubbish anyway

[young pike]

I’m sure if you ask they will just sell it to you

[frosty notch]

skin limit removed? or just became invisible?

[young pike]

So you don’t want to get the officers or active probes? It’s not just about the skin

[tranquil belfry]

Nope

Near enough maxed

[young pike]

So you have millions of active nanoprobes

[tranquil belfry]

Pointless. Arc gives me nothing.

[lavish hinge]

I would prefer that i feel like i got something out of the event, and that if they rolled the event around once/month that i could unlock the skin within 6 months. This is a year and a half...

[crisp lake]

Is there still a 15 shard limit for the infinitus…or is there not one now. Don’t want to be surprised after I click the 1 chest 15 times only to have it disappear or something

[tawdry steppe]

The newsletter said there would be an event - target practice - for people without theVidar and an event - live target practice - for people with the Vidar.

I only see the latter, but dont have the Vidar yet. Bug or am I missing something?

[young pike]

doesn’t matter what they do people won’t be happy. I’m fine with getting something rather then never get old stuff

[lavish hinge]

Bug, release says same thing

This is a huge problem too

[abstract gate]

24hrs to complete the event....doesnt need to be done straight away

[lavish hinge]

My server is younger, so maybe only 10-15% can effectively grind there. But i can imagine the crowds on the older servers.

[brittle siren]

Oh joy, only one good system to do event in today. Super duper awesome that the whole server will be in corta gamma today..

[tranquil belfry]

Same as ours. Maybe 5% are not in corta gamma :)

[brittle siren]

They made more swarms systems for this reason, could we get higher level borgs already!

[tranquil belfry]

Confused why they bring this out 18mths later and expect people to be at the same level as they was when they ran it last time. It's not rocket science or apparently it is

[last sun]

Yeah seeing that myself. Scopy’s rewards are pitiful. Really not worth the time.

[dapper drum]

its a thursday

we normally don't get squat but mega miner

[tranquil belfry]

That's, all this event is about guys

Only the money. Nothing else

[spice berry]

ONLY ONE 33 system.... NO directives gift, and event store price bad and prohibited
SCOPELY...we want to play a frckn game so why are you mak8ng it impossible to play???

[tranquil belfry]

Shield up or go do something else. I wouldn't pay

[spice berry]

Fer sure wont give them money for this piz o trash

[deep steeple]

Wow completing the SMS event will give me enough points to buy 1 skin shard.

[alpine snow]

Went to lvl 31 borg since its the one I usually go to to get a max cargo in 1 full hull. Didn't even get 1/3rd the pts needed. Yikes. Guess I gotta hit bigger and waste some directives not filling up my hold.

[deep steeple]

Seems 33 is the way to go along with the rest of the server. Will try when ppl fall asleep later

[hollow plank]

Does anyone below ops28, without a vidar get the part of event to score in any systems. Our allied guys does not

?

[lavish hinge]

The ALB is even more about the money. One armada pack and an alliance of 5 can wipe the floor with a team of grinders.

[dapper moss]

Interesting: limit 15 for skin vidar, then no limit, now already limit. Scopely, take your responsibility and choice, plz

I can choose to have a family, so you can choose to put or remove a ducking limit

[abstract gate]

(noob question warning) where are the borg?

[desert laurel]

they start in Metra cluster

you'll find probes in those token'd systems, and armadas are to the left of fed space

[knotty viper]

What the bs?? I'm not buying the pack but how do they put Burnham (who they nerfed) and not georgiou?

[abstract gate]

ty, @desert laurel

[remote crypt]

So how bout this event? Seems awesome maybe I should just take another 2 or 3 month break like I did the first time this borgmada garbage dropped last year🤣

[desert laurel]

you're not meant to buy every pack, if it's not interesting, just pass

this borg event will probably only last 3 days, it's nbd if you'd rather skip

[knotty viper]

@desert laurel it's just an example of them not thinking it through

[desert laurel]

why? some people would want burnham, offer a pack with her from time to time and they'll make money

[knotty viper]

@desert laurel she's easy to source and now almost worthless after the update, and was only mediocre before.

[south arrow]

So no faction hunt I’m guessing?

[desert laurel]

if they were doing hard to source, and powerful, they'd do lorca instead of georgiou and you'd still miss out!

[lavish hinge]

Still a week and a half until the next arc

[sharp sleet]

A week and a half ? Next pass isn't supposed to drop 10 days after the end of the previous one ?

[lavish hinge]

Well, that's what the hint inferred. So it's not coming on the 31st but rather the 7th.

That's not confirmed that i've seen, just a hint given by the devs

[sharp sleet]

I guess it makes sense since starting the new pass next Thursday would be too early in September

Do you remember where you saw that hint ?

[lavish hinge]

someone posted it in our discord. i think maybe it came from DJz?

[sharp sleet]

Ok thanks a lot for your help 🙂

TC ?

[slow hinge]

Territory Capture

[hexed gorge]

That thing in the bottom left of the map

[worldly kelp]

Scopely has lost their da mn minds. The borg directives are priced ridiculously for 1. Almost 4K borg points for 1 directive. What the hell is scopely smoking to make them make some stupid ass choices

[deft solar]

Hmm no vidar bps in event store for ops 24 seems quite mean

[worldly kelp]

Looks like I’ll be skipping this event. Just finished going through the event store and everything is priced to high. Great job scopely in your continuing effort to drive players off the game. Your pay to play habit and decision making is getting tiresome

[paper venture]

So based on notes seem like there are events that are not running for Borg today. A solo armada one:

[lavish hinge]

I guess this is why i'm disappointed, to summarize:
These events are most fun you have this small chance of unlocking something that you don't have, whether it's far away or close. Most aren't anywhere close to the skin since it only ran once. The Stella skin event is fun and interactive since you have a chance for full unlock if you work hard enough. Auctions can be fun because you can get a full officer unlock.

This event feels like a letdown because:

1. the low cap on the skin bps
2. no chance for full unlock through hard work
3. skin / officer shards mixed with the same currency, so you have to choose
4. not enough event loot to make significant progress

It's fine, i guess, bc it's free and it's old content. But so far it feels like a letdown.

[paper venture]

They got pay for that commercial I saw with 3 of the NG cast

[inland hamlet]

@paper venture day 1, probes, day2, officersday3armadas

@lavish hinge it's meant as recurring event. So over time you unlock stuff

[lavish hinge]

1. have they announced that anywhere?
2. the stella skin is a recurring event and you can get a full unlock if you work hard at the event

whether it's recurring or not, my points still stand

[inland hamlet]

@lavish hinge if you got event loot left over from previous can use in this, much same except that 1st was a intro but this is the recurring like cow and apex

[desert laurel]

stella event has no announcement that it was recurring either, but it's implied. Just that same way, you have to make the leap for borg

[lavish hinge]

whether it's recurring or not, it doesn't change anything i just said

[lavish hinge]

also, i doubt they'll make this recurring. There's not enough time between arcs, typically, to do this and the apex event

not if they also want to do CoW and sometimes Faction Hunt

[desert laurel]

and cow and fh

[paper venture]

Ah yes I see now the days 3 below the dates. Baldy formatted

[desert laurel]

wasn't refuting your post, just that "recurring" comment

[inland hamlet]

What 8th September is 2 weeks away

[lavish hinge]

this is atypical

[desert laurel]

this needs run concurrently with other events, otherwise it spreads out new content too much for very little gain

[inland hamlet]

22 day arc usually 30 days in a month so usually 2 weeks between arcs in fall

[lavish hinge]

I think check your math lol. 22 day arc, 30 day month, leaves 8 days between

[inland hamlet]

So fh is 2 day, cow is 3, apex is 3. So far up to 8days

[desert laurel]

fh is 3, sometimes 2

[lavish hinge]

i think 1-2 times per year you'll get something like this where you get an extra week between arcs

[inland hamlet]

Well so far had 2 of these borg events in last 3 months. So 6 a year roughly

[sharp sleet]

Is it normal for a lvl 31 player with the Vi'dar to don't get the live target practice event tonight ?

[inland hamlet]

Everyone only has hunt borg probes today ad the alb

[sharp sleet]

Live target practice is hunt borg probes so I guess it's not ok for me to don't have it

[desert laurel]

your 31 player with vidar should have live target practice. Has he relogged?

[sharp sleet]

Multiple times, on different device

[desert laurel]

post a ss of his events

[inland hamlet]

Should have live target practice sms and the alliance alb if ops 28 plus

[lavish hinge]

2 points doesn't make a trend, ha. I hope you're right, and i think they will source it more in the future. But i'd rather they do it in a similar style to the Stella, if i'm being honest.

And i just hope it doesn't come at the expense of CoW or faction hunt or apex

[inland hamlet]

@lavish hinge the amount of borg event store loot there is no way to get more than 15 shards of skin.
Be lucky getting 5 lol

[desert laurel]

have you submitted a ticket yet?

[inland hamlet]

@sharp sleet then that's bug contact support via ticket and post in bugs

[sharp sleet]

Not yet, wanted to be sure I didn't missed anything

[somber flame]

Why don't I have these events?

[lavish hinge]

Doing some extrapolation here: 6k for SMS today, and i assume 6k for day 3 SMS. 12k if you're in the top alliance (most aren't). I'm going to assume 12k for the SLB tomorrow for first place. That's 36k total, enough for 9 shards. For the top performer!

It's 💩

[inland hamlet]

Basicly aimed at people spending during each run rather than saving up in 1 hit...

[desert laurel]

what events do you think you're missing?

[somber flame]

I see three events on Rev D's screen that I don't have

[abstract gate]

Check the dates

[lavish hinge]

Which is fine, i just think if you're going to give the whales the ability to buy it outright (and i think they will, by the end of the day), there should be the ability to unlock it outright if you work really hard at it.

[inland hamlet]

@lavish hinge I know intro event had an auction for shards, but for free is basicly same as buying vidar from those Sat events

[desert laurel]

that ss is from an older run of the event

we're not in the absolution arc, we're in an interim period

[somber flame]

I'm a morn

Thanks guys

[inland hamlet]

That vid was on the intro events. Not this recurring

But all valid questions

Just look at it as way to slowly source stuff, or to top up what you need as didn't unlock last run

[lavish hinge]

one alliance member noted that 2nd place last time gave 42 shards. Even if you buy the $99 pack this time around to get the full 15 shards available, you won't unlock it. So this run won't introduce any new skins into the game.

i don't know how many brackets there were last time, but i've only seen that skin in the wild once

[knotty niche]

wow more rewards that are useless.. buy directives for borg armadas that have poor rewards.. SIGN ME UP .. as the Ferengi say there is no profit in this.

only thing better would be to charge a ticket to do the armadas .

[inland hamlet]

Still not used ones got free last time... Proves always score better

Just takes so long to run 29s. Took 3hrs a run last tine

Just do your solos, grab a few rewards

So either wait, muscle onto a spawn point... Or.....

You have what 22hrs more to do your solo, but everyone's crammed in now

[crimson barn]

I haven't got the solo event either, waiting to hear back from support

[inland hamlet]

33s is not good to run for kills, 29s or 30s probably unless you want to do 25s for 10hrs

Peak time is usually 4 hrs after reset.. Then goes quiet.

So go in grab a spawn point and hold it till you die, do 2nd run solo done

If its against roe on your server not as if they can shoot you lol

Why not sit there kill everything that spawns

Or share

[desert laurel]

better than the none you earn now

[inland hamlet]

Mind you more you talk here less time you got

So they set a 24hr timer knowing majority play 2hrs either side of reset only

Yes life gets in the way but event is optional

They already limit access by cells

And scopely doesn't support roe

So only you and your server causing the problem not scopely

[desert laurel]

then you can attack the ships there?

[inland hamlet]

So go kill those vidar quit moaning

Get your alliance together swarm and hold system and just kill everyone

Not really got an excuse you are just trolling

Happiness is not scopely lol,....

Maybe they need to make servers for people who can only play certain hours...

Or personal servers so everyone has an easy life grow up

Nope any organised alliance can do it.. Vidars are no match for g3 epics vidar maxes at 1.2m ish.

[desert laurel]

spreading out everyone doesn't generate enough conflict, conflict earns money

[inland hamlet]

Oh yes they could add more systems, lvl 34 to 42. But normal vidar couldn't do them

[desert laurel]

reason 2: 1 system is enough, you're just using hyperbole to make a weak point

[inland hamlet]

Exactly but solo takes 2 cells,. You get 2 a day plus they gave 2 extra free

Only you has a problem.

50 lvl 33 kills = solo

I expect by now should be a lot quieter

All kids are in bed now

Or if you really have to do the event, sleep less. Or work less

[desert laurel]

only took me one hull to finish, very easy and done

[inland hamlet]

We have server roe on our server and yet took me 15mins

[desert laurel]

pretty easy to prove me wrong, just post a ss of your 5 ship per node gamma

[inland hamlet]

Lol we had about 8 per node sat there but only 5 actually competing... But 50 shops. And done. I was even just hitting the 4k probe ships

If node gets busy move to another

Servers with no roe just send in a g3 or g4 epic and splat vidars. While yours kills hostiles

If bigger people wait till they done or asleep.

By midnight EU servers are dead till 9am

[ornate geyser]

It goes a LOT higher than 1.2M

[inland hamlet]

Still a vidars not going to kill an ent

And very few waste cells on protection

[ornate geyser]

Have seen it done, lol. It's not typical, though, I do agree.

Anyway...plenty of probes, enough for everyone to finish the event easily. No idea what all the complaining is about this time, there are WAY bigger problems than this "free stuff for things you were doing anyway" event...

[inland hamlet]

Only complaint really seen so far is cost of extra directives. Why people need directives to kill probes no idea but they pushing alb

No real sympathy for spenders

Yes some with sms missing justified complaints.

Event loot and limits in event store..... Everyone wants everything now.

Exocomps are useless. As they are included in calc... Agree with this should be applied after calc as flat boost...

Not got same events as content creator vids.... Well not same event profile.

[lavish hinge]

Depends on your server

Saw a pic (won't reshare, bc it's not mine) with one probe in all of corta gamma

it'll lighten up, but it's a solveable problem that scopely should fix bc, why not?

No reason to make it harder

[inland hamlet]

The only reason it's an issue is cos everyone wants to do events as soon as it drops, people have no patience

Same as wanting more rewards so they can get everything done

If everything needs to be done immediately why do they give 24hrs

Events are designed for everyone not a select few,. Events take longer for some

Killing 50 borg probes takes as long as if not less time than 25 hostile daily

I know look at 32 system it's empty

Yes you got to kill double but its easier

I expect at some point we will get a vidar upgrade and higher borg systems. But swarms during events are same.... Systems are packed that are most efficient

But yes we have 2 of every swarm system but only 1 borg

And new Franklin a systems there's 3 of them

[last sun]

Wow…one whole skin shard for an hour of grinding 31’s…if I didn’t want the nanos…such a waste. Whoever is in charge of rewards for events needs to be tarred, feathered and FIRED.

[inland hamlet]

5 shards a month... Think is realustic

[quasi token]

How much Borg Loot will we be able to get on average at the end of this event?

[last sun]

A year to get a skin?! What crack are you smoking

[inland hamlet]

Think maybe 8 to 10 shards worth

[desert laurel]

probably more for people who are close than starting from zero

[last sun]

Try 5, if we are lucky

[inland hamlet]

@last sun how long did it take to get your vidar?

[last sun]

I got it when it came out. So quick?

[inland hamlet]

With auction events could already have it. But purely from this free to play route 6 months is average

@last sun sorry I was not here during first borg events

[last sun]

Screw the auction crap, that is just a bs ploy.

[desert laurel]

we need a skin slb, like stella's

[last sun]

My Vi’dar is maxed.

But just recently

[inland hamlet]

If you look at cosmic cleanup for vidar that's 10 cosmic cleanups to unlock vidar

[last sun]

Auctions are just for whales to measure there wangs.

[desert laurel]

there are lots of kinds of auctions, some award only the top bidder and take his money, others will have different rules

[inland hamlet]

They are spending resources events, but usually whales can buy packs to use during event... So not really an event

Oh well got to scrap another ship

[desert laurel]

scrapping a g3 faction ship yields g4 mats

[vital holly]

I think the event store needs a minor tweak. Ultra Gacha tokens should be Ultra Recruit Tokens. Same for Premium

[inland hamlet]

Lol scrap g2 to build g3

Also scrapping some g3 to get my primes and help when get jelly

Us scrapping g3 will provide best source commons and parts for g4 ships

Or g4 unc when you can't refine it

Am still building g3s... So still runni g g2 refineries and ship build g and scrapping

But atm need to scrap fortunate to build my envoys faster

So can scrap them to build my d3

And faction miners

[dapper moss]

Now i understand: because Scope didn't take enough money 'cause Worf s**ks, it start borg event to drain money for the Vidar Skin. Good idea. Interesting that no one have directives, so we must buy them

[waxen sedge]

Somebody on another discord made a good point, today's solo event is probes, day 3 is armadas, so presumably they will throw us a few free directives on day 3.

[lucid pendant]

Anyone has the same problem that the vidar skin disappeared from the event store after buying some? I think I got 13 but now it's gone 🤔

[waxen sedge]

There was a limit of 15, so you probably got that many, but if you knew what you had before and are pretty sure you only got 13 it might be worth submitting a ticket

[lucid pendant]

Yeah, had 27 and have now only 40. That's why I'm asking. Just submitted a ticket, let's see what they answer ✌️

It says 40/60 🤔

[inland hamlet]

Hmm maybe you had 25 then bought 15...

I need. Ew glasses lol could've swaorn said 40

[lucid pendant]

Thought that as well, then recalculated, but I spent 48,8k war funds. That makes 13 skin parts 🤷‍♂️

[inland hamlet]

Post ticket then

Probably didn't like you

[lucid pendant]

Yeah, did so 😬
let's see what they respond

[main cairn]

Why do I need almost 7 times more points to finish the event than another player who is the same level as me? And get exactly the same rewards

[halcyon sentinel]

i would guess vidar tier? so works out roughly same amount of kills you both need? idk

[main cairn]

It doesn't work out to the same number of kills at all. He finished the event in one trip, I had to spend hours on it (4 or 5 trips). It doesn't make sense to me to punish people for having upgraded the ship further.

[halcyon sentinel]

maybe they wrongly think 'well people who upgraded it must really like killing probes' 😄

[main cairn]

I upgraded it so I could stop grinding so many probes everyday 😂

[halcyon sentinel]

haha, then bad luck on this event

[main cairn]

I still feel like if you're going to make people do more work you should at least give them better rewards for it. I've put in a ticket for whatever good that will do.

[halcyon sentinel]

best of luck with that 😄 , but yeah cant see why having put in the work or the cash to upgrade it you shouldnt have better rewards

[fair junco]

Server 61 not getting the live probe event they 30 I’m lvl 31 both visits

Visits = vidars..

[somber flame]

What a shitty Borg event.

[vague vessel]

Garbage events and deployment. Maybe just run something else next time and drop these Borg cube events. They were horrible the first time they were launched, still garbage the second run, and the rewards aren't even worth looking at this time let alone the lack of directives discouraging f2p people(which I'm not).

2 CoW events in a row would be better then this 🤣

[fair junco]

At least you got the event…

[earnest hornet]

Well directives won’t be around till probably day 3 because that’s the armada event day, we all know typical response of people if they got directives today in rewards or a gifts they’d spend them all then have nothing for day 3

You can get some already from the $store or the event store with the event currency, but not worth it until later

[rose sphinx]

My two bits - this whole Borg event is worse than stupid. We need millions of active nanoprobes to be able to tier up some borg officers and the rewards for killing an uncommon is 14? There definitely is a real disconnect. Directives are 3,000 each for the uncommon Borg and one gets 14 active probes.

[keen mist]

It's retarded. Left hand never knows what the right hand is doing.

Nor do they actually play the game.

[desert laurel]

was just looking at the ANs and surprised they only upgraded the greens. It's notable that you can earn a lot more if you use fewer players, and you can buy 50 directives for 100.

[vague vessel]

It's just not worth the time. Kill the cube or make the rewards worth someone's time.

[earnest hornet]

The armadas have to respawn for the actives to show as rewards on the armadas

[desert laurel]

oh nice

rewards are much nicer on the rares

they should just kill/respawn them all, no need to leave these old inert ones up

[lavish hinge]

Looks like you have a t9 vidar. They're expecting you to kill level 33s. Which you should be able to do easily. I completed it in three trips using PMT. others with 5/10 could do it in 1-2 trips using 5CT.

Also t9 vidar, same milestones.

[main cairn]

Strength varies considerably with level as well because of research so it doesn't necessarily take me the same number of trips as someone else with the same tier vidar

[lavish hinge]

I'm ops 30, not exactly high level. But yes you're correct. Also have prime officers.

Mine is 1M in dock

[vital holly]

What is the better purchase with the borg war funds in the event store?

[desert laurel]

vidar if you don't have one, other than that it's a bit subjective.

[vital holly]

I'm only lvl 19 so I guess it's not available for me yet.

[desert laurel]

do you have premium recruit tokens? what cost if so?

[vital holly]

Borg recruit tokens at 7500, ultra at 900, and premium at 1500

I currently only have 6k borg currency

[tawny marsh]

Lol currency rewards are so low...

Might as well not exist

[cunning radish]

i need 7 bps to get vindictus

prob not even gonna have enuf for that

lol

[tawny marsh]

I was able to buy 1

Lol

1!!!

[cunning radish]

lol

hopefully next few days we get a lot more

[tawny marsh]

Yeah we might be able to buy 3

[cunning radish]

^

😂

[tawny marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/im-going-crazy-clap-happy-snow-white-gif-17192152

[sudden ledge]

You rang?

[desert laurel]

depending on how many premium tokens are per 1500, you might also want to consider that purchase. Ultras are very easy to get higher up and lots of epic officers are also in the tp store. Progressing your chen and other greens is pretty important, and so getting as many premiums along the way is worthwhile since you can't buy premium tokens in event stores after a certain level

[short acorn]

I need 60...225k war fund credits. Might as well not play. Ain't paying 20 bucks for less than 6 pieces.

These 2 day events have prices like a 28 day event. Redick

[robust vapor]

Well, of course they do.
Otherwise the obvious complaint would be why is the longer event store so relatively expensive?
They're not going to give you the same value for 3 days work as 28 days work.

[cunning radish]

oof

[ornate geyser]

Damn you and your inescapable logic...!

[robust vapor]

https://c.tenor.com/VyfwtAFKXGAAAAAM/turkey-funny.gif

[frozen abyss]

I feel like with today's recruit event being so... uneventful... we should get a bonus refinery to help us fill the gap. We haven't had one in almost 2 months.

 1/18/2020 24-hour
 1/22/2020 24-hour
 3/ 8/2020 24-hour
 4/ 1/2020 24-hour
 6/21/2020 24-hour
 8/12/2020 48-hour
10/21/2020 24-hour
10/29/2020 24-hour
12/ 1/2020 24-hour
 1/24/2021 48-hour
 7/10/2021 48-hour

also a round of Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum would be nice, too.

[last sun]

That helps folks without spending, scopy isn’t going to go for that.

[abstract gate]

I wish they had included the borg missions in the event store. I missed them last time.😢

[wind fog]

Well, if prices were more reasonable, I’d be all for that.

[robust vapor]

the bonus refinery isn't that great anyway.. maybe for low levels 😬

[dapper drum]

yeah its only a 1 week advance on your normal refinery

if you stocked up to max it out

but thats compared to just single batches 2x day for a week

[desert laurel]

last one gave me nearly 1k g3, pretty good if you're not rich like these guys

[cunning radish]

I got 180 gas from an epic armada box yesterday.

I was like wow actual good luck

🤣👏

[robust vapor]

Who's rich? I haven't spent a cent on this game in 16 months..
The issue is that the G3 bonus refinery doesn't scale with player level, so the rewards/cost isn't that enticing at higher levels.. and G4, gah, PITA enough to be mining the minimum amounts for refining 😬

[frozen abyss]

This was the last bonus refinery for me

[south arrow]

Why not just finish shutting the game down this is a complete joke not one single event you suck scopley

[lapis harbor]

Really enough of the leader boards just put $$$$$$ sign there instead

[rustic marlin]

Yeah, especially with todays event. Get your credit cards out folks. Scopely can take this SLB and shove it.

[wind vapor]

Only an SLB and no other event?

[last sun]

Nice. Really no reason to play today. Slb and accession? Yeah you can suck it Scopy

[minor elm]

Wow, way to just give up Scopley

[lapis harbor]

Welp shields up and I’ll go watch TikTok for the rest of the day see y’all tomorrow

[abstract ice]

Really? no sms today? Is there like a betting pool at Scopely to see who can make things worse? Here, hold my beer 😝

[frank niche]

please never run this event again, thank you from every single player.

[dapper drum]

10 minutes in 10m score

[summer raven]

Please pass a note on to scopely, this is absolute trash and nobody wants this Borg mega cube event. Thanks.

[remote crypt]

I'm aiming for top 500. Bought 1 borg officer shard event done, dumpster fire continues

[pine raft]

Same here, only i used normal common recruit tokens... For a grand total of 10 points

[remote crypt]

I could put up 20mil plus points using officer xp but why bother this is garbage 🤣

[pine raft]

Not worth the effort of spending the XP IMHO

[remote crypt]

1st place works out to what... 5 or 6 officer shards, a vidar skin that is only useful for players who need nanoprobes?

[floral pike]

Having officers shards AND officers XP in same event is one of the most stupid things I've seen in this game 😤

[abstract spire]

Absolute garbage events, pay to win good job scopely

[austere locust]

Is the intent of this event today to basically say "Either give us your money or, just quit playing."?

[sullen barn]

not quit playing, today is nap day.

[pine raft]

Think about it this way..
SCOPELY: "now you can spend money in 2 ways to win this event"

[austere locust]

Im mean telling us to go get officers and level them up with no way to do either without buying credits is pretty see-through.

[tawdry minnow]

Wel , gues today we don’t play this game then 🤣

[remote crypt]

I did that last year, first time borgmadas dropped plus the combination of ops 40 plus being pure pay to progress I took 14 months off give or take

[wispy thicket]

Woo hoo! A day off!

[austere locust]

Im guessing they wont be sending out any surveys today.. lol

[rich geyser]

Didn’t think Scopley could hit a new low with event laziness. Clearly, today’s event has proven me wrong.

[sullen garden]

Pay to win I see is today’s play. Lame

[tired cliff]

Not even one solo milestone event. Pretty typical.

[covert atlas]

Is this the ONLY solo event today? This is LAME AF. Get your 💩 together ScoPAY

[burnt aspen]

Nice to know that my recruit tokens, and officer xp that was spent on this morning's events was wasted.

I suppose no solo event to placate the masses to make us feel special..😂

[fierce beacon]

This is about as lazy as Scopely has ever been. Congrats.

Maybe the devs could finally take their down time from today to fix that damn [ ] alliance tag glitch.

[sullen yarrow]

Will there be any events today other than ascension?

[fickle tree]

I'd like to thank scopley for the nice break from the game... Long bubble set, dailies done, now signing off till midnight...

[viral yarrow]

Think I'll take the night off from STFC tonight since scopley just proved they have as much imagination as a person 6 foot under for the last 10 years pushing up daisies.

[sullen yarrow]

Delayed event for today? No event today?

[abstract spire]

Only pay to win events

[sullen yarrow]

So, no real events with milestones that most players stand a good chance of completing.

Seems somewhat pointless to have an event store but not have any events to earn what you need to make purchases.

[haughty grotto]

Lamest events ever. I didn’t think it possible that Scopely could get more blatant about events designed solely to sell packs, but I gotta admit - they’ve outdone themselves with today’s events.

[indigo granite]

https://tenor.com/view/scopely-scopely-hq-gif-18542111

[rough dust]

Please tell me that we're still getting Faction Hunt and Apex.... This Borg event is not a quality replacement for either..

[lavish rover]

They should close this room for the day since there really is no event today

[broken horizon]

so the new bp isn't until september 7? any calendar between now and then? i need to spend some rss with the goal of getting ops 40 before bp

borg, apex... faction hunts... should be 6-8 days?

[south arrow]

Revs video sums up what I think most of us think about scopley

[last sun]

Did he already post one about today?

[tired cliff]

You mean like scopley only giving a quality amount of new character shards in pay to win events??? Shards to get the new content should be available in solo events. Pay to win events should give extra shards to upgrade the new content quickly.

[south arrow]

Yep

[indigo granite]

[tired cliff]

And the event opps level bracket on today’s is ridiculous. How is a pay a little bit player who’s opps 42 supposed to compete with a whale “I have to much money and time player” opps 50 who’s willing to dump 1000 bucks per day. Like come on.

[late dragon]

This is the worst day ever after 18 months playing this game, something is going bad in Scopely land.

Yes

[indigo granite]

I thought every day that they release a game update was the worst day ever

[tired cliff]

And fix the god dam tags!!! I see another week of [] and no more money for you.

[lavish rover]

Yeah [] is annoying AF

And I mean as flugelhorn

[indigo granite]

I tried to learn how to play the flugelhorn. No luck.

[bold geyser]

So no solo event? Hey Scopely, look at the zero activity in Borg space because you didn’t give us a way to get more than 1 token. Who created this crap after 2 years? I mean, why waste time & resources doing surveys when you ignore what’s said.

[lavish rover]

EXACTLY!!!

[lavish rover]

Hence I don’t waste time filling them out anymore

[indigo granite]

And why do "3 question surveys" often have 20 questions?

[somber flame]

No events???

[bold geyser]

Scopely math

[late dragon]

Worst ever, are they getting lazy, taking the pee, or incompetent?

[jovial verge]

Anyone know if Apex is coming before next Arc starts? Or does this Borg fiasco replace it?

[abstract gate]

I hear that borg is such a smashing success they are going to repeat it 2 more times before the next arc

Next iteration will have a SLB and ALB, but with no way to score at all even with money

[hazy bronze]

This event is terrible

Buy officers to win what a joke

So 4 or 5 guys get something but nobody else

Why even play

[indigo granite]

We play not

[dusty marsh]

Wait what event do you have that actually has a milestone?

[wind fog]

We have nothing

[fleet fox]

No solo event. Come on scopely. What a waist

[dapper drum]

he probably looking at the event he missed and counting at lvl 30 probes to finish 79840 points

just under 4 hours in my SLB is 42m for 1st

gonna hit higher than I thought it would before its over

[novel hollow]

Just checking in is it universally agreed this is the dumbest event ever?

[dapper drum]

and the rewards don't make sense why people are going balls deep on this

[dusty marsh]

Yes. We hit single digit online status at one point

[novel hollow]

That’s 40m xp for 10 shards of 2/10.

[dapper drum]

40m won't cut it for finals

I was thinking originally 50m, but the way its going possibly 80m

[normal folio]

Worst event ever... boring with 💩 incentives (if you can even call them that) they definitely aren’t rewards. 😒

[alpine snow]

It just so badly thought out. How many shards will most people end up with in a 3 day period. Doesn't seem like a lot at this point. Then ask yourself, how many shards do you get from opening chests after 1 day of faction hunt...
Think scopley, think

[novel hollow]

I don’t mind the 3 day borg arc concept. Just this mechanic is awful. I’ll save mine for another event.

I unlocked 2/10 today so I’m woot woot happy.

[alpine snow]

Congrats

[thin pagoda]

Friday night off. Thanks Scopley. 👍

[novel hollow]

Go free the Galaxy of criminals and rogues.

[fleet parcel]

I think the payouts are pretty bad…. Thinking about how much you get from apex/cow with 3 day and alliance event. Puts the borg payout to shame… :/

And cow/apex you get alb and ams… borg ya get one really bad alb…

[abstract gate]

One single event running (aside from the hostile grind which doesn’t count as some smaller alliances ran all their borgmadas as they can’t read) and it’s a spend event…

168 officially died

[fleet parcel]

I wouldn’t mind being on a super dead server maybe I could win a leader board then

[versed jackal]

I never been bored with the events so much that I wanted to complain about it on the official discors before. I don't mind a day off, but 4 days of nearly nothing if you don't own a Vidar, come on Scopely! Love the fact that we can earn some shards for that Vidar.., still Apex also does that, but in a fun way. I want a free Vidar and this event will give me more than Apex, yet after multiple days of boredom I rather wait longer for my Vidar if I could just get a fun event.

[abstract gate]

Oh you misunderstand. They’re still throwing their wallets at the leaderboard, they just stuck a 24 hour shield on and went away.

[odd knoll]

That's on your alliance, correct?

[torn kernel]

This borg mini event bs just shows how lazy and out of sync scopely is with its player base. This mini event is horrid. I am personally boycotting the rest of the borg stuff and may just toss a shield till next arc. If this is how I’m between the arc looks scopely better nail the next one or I have a feeling they will lose a huge portion of player base….if they even care!

As a member of my alliance said, it’s like they are playing hold my beer with these events.

Does anyone know/remember if the double research daily (regular and heroic) coming up in 5 hours rewards officer/lat or mats/RSS?

[waxen galleon]

I really hope nobody is spending on this Borg 💩!

[earnest hornet]

What chest did you open for this??

[hasty slate]

I just saw the gift chest also. That is as underwhelming as this whole Borg micro arc is.

[waxen galleon]

Was a random gift that laughed at me when I opened it.

Just on par with all the other Borg content that has been released.

[dusty marsh]

Ah come on! Now you can save 3000 war funds to spend on...well...

[hasty slate]

I don't understand how they manage to just continue to disappoint with the Borg content.

It's almost like they're trolling us at this point.

[dusty marsh]

Can't wait for Locutus to come out and double the rewards from Borg armadas...

Not trying to rag on them needlessly but this is about as dead as I’ve seen my server

[waxen galleon]

The next Borg arc will come out with a Vi’Dar A and will only be upgradable by items that drop off the Mega Cube.

[dusty marsh]

Look if we just forget the mega cube ever existed, I don’t think anyone will mind. Somehow the story description of it is actually worse than the armadas… I still maintain whoever wrote that arc never watched Trek or looked at how big solar systems are

[hasty slate]

I'd add they may have never played a video game either.

[waxen galleon]

Yet they continue to bring events that make us have to remember how bad the Borg arc content was.

But those 2 directives fix everything.

[dusty marsh]

It’s a shame too because I like the Vidar a lot, function and look and story explanation. Borg refinery is great. The officers are basically all decent to fantastic.
But the rewards are awful, armadas are boring, and the damn active nanonprobes…

The fact that they need independent credits too is nuts. At least use the nanoprobes and their own faction credits. How many bottlenecks do we need?

[full notch]

I saw we all turn our back to the event. They will take a big hint when they see no activity

I love the Vdar for raiding opl

Ikeep telling them in the questionnaire to retool the Borg
I've brought it up at least 3 times

[dusty marsh]

The Vidar is a good model specialty ship. Similar to the Stella (but better IMO), it’s viable outside of its one single use. Wish they’d put out some discovery specific research so it could be similarly a bit stronger. Could be fun to have a specialty ship battle triangle. But outside of the Vidar itself we need a retool. Even the hostiles need to be reworked. Maybe they drop more or also drop active Nanoprobes or something

[full notch]

I wish the Borg probes also wandered around the test of galaxy randomly too. It would make for good hunting

[waxen galleon]

They really need to revamp the Borg probe and make higher level probes that drop active nanoprobes.

[full notch]

We can only hope

Maybe all the students Scopely hired for cheap summer labor are all on strike this week before going back to school next week. Maybe that’s why we’ve got nothing but crap for daily events

[fleet fox]

2 armada directives...wth...shows how much the listen to players

[fleet parcel]

I am glad to see I am not the only a bit disappointed by 2 armada directives

[rustic siren]

I feel like they would have been better off not giving us the gift. At least that way they could continue to pretend like they didn’t know how much this mini arc sucks.

But to acknowledge the suck with a gift….. and some how make people hate the free gift. Now that’s talent

[full notch]

LMAO

[clever adder]

Fix everything that have to deal with Borg, ASAP. Just horrible event, horrible mechanics of upgrading Borg officers, just horrible period.

[severe bridge]

Isn’t this the 3rd time this event makeup has run and we give the same feedback each time?

[bold geyser]

Ooh two whole borgmada directives! What shall we do…?

NOTHING because you need four to start an armada.

#stilltheworsteventintwoyears

[slow hinge]

You need 4?

[full notch]

Oooo, I bet heads are gonna roll

[sharp wedge]

Anyone know if the event tomorrow is alliance help or armadas?

[pale kestrel]

in game news says armadas

[sharp wedge]

Thanks! Didn’t even think to check ingame news

[pale kestrel]

i'm still waiting to get this gas. 😜

[ripe jungle]

Why would you get it?

[pale kestrel]

hence the emoji

[ripe jungle]

Doh, didn’t notice it actually shows crystal

[pale kestrel]

heh heh

QA, QA, QA....

[bold geyser]

I was looking at rares, thanks.

[amber wave]

Why are your options golden?

[pale kestrel]

I am esteemed rep in Romulans

I suppose they did it to visually separate the options from the previous rep levels

[novel hollow]

I don’t there is a cool down on the golds

[keen crag]

What amazing event huh guys?

[knotty viper]

I feel like they don't understand the value of things at all. It's like asking Saudi royalty to comprehend how much a candy bar is vs a Rolex.

[robust vapor]

Candy Bar? That's worth USD99.99, yes? 🤔 Contains no nuts! (may contain nuts)

[knotty viper]

@robust vapor definitely maybe contains nuts

[robust vapor]

That was the joke, that Scopely sell you on a promise and then don't deliver 😅 I need to work on my delivery 😥

[knotty viper]

@robust vapor no I got it. I was just extrapolating on it lol

You see that half-assed pack they limped out to appease whales that aren't paying attention?

[robust vapor]

There are packs? 🤔
I never understood spending so much in this game 😬

[glossy fog]

Assuming you mean the nanoprobe one where you would need to buy 10 plus packs to get enough to move jaylah from t3 to t4🤣

[knotty viper]

@glossy fog yup😂

[glossy fog]

Lol just noticed it is limited to 4 whatever shall I do 🤣

[tawny marsh]

Its not hard to fix borg, you already have the system. Copy the eclipse system, a faction store, rep based rewards, daily armada packs for common/rare, a borg recruit pack, active nanoprobes pack, ect...

Just grandfather people rep based on the tier of their vidar.

[amber wave]

That’s cool lol. Do the prices change?

[lavish hinge]

I'm for this (it'll never happen)

[earnest hornet]

Stop spamming the links, delete them, or you will be removed, it’s against this discord rules to be posting unapproved links

#🌠-rules-and-roles12

[kindred sentinel]

Scopely!!! can we have badges in the event store?

I'd rather have 1 single badge for entire currency i get then all the other things. pretty worthless at my level

[pale kestrel]

yes they do

[coral niche]

Anyone else noticed an MC as 6 slot armada gives 27k ALB points only? That’s 6 times 4500. Should have been 7*4500. Due to the 4500 starter points.

[viral yarrow]

I love this event get 10 megacube directives by beating a mega cube only thing is who has the directives to beat a mega cube in the first place 😂😂😂😂 scopley pure rocket science 😂

[coral niche]

My current event shop tokens reach for 7 MC directives. I have three in stock.

[icy trout]

This BORG event is the biggest fail.. bit of a slap to the community face... all you take a Scopely facepalm

[copper flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/for-trash-garbage-epic-clowns-trash-gif-14912009

[icy trout]

I can buy 3 of her with first place

🤣

[viral yarrow]

So to win 10 mega cube directives you have to spend 20 mega cube directives. So run 2 to win enough to run 1 😂

[proven bluff]

This idiotic event is just more proof that the devs don’t really play the game. If they did, they would understand that an event that might have been decent when a server was 6 months old is utter garbage a year later

[icy trout]

Is this DISCORD server the official STFC discord channel... if so where are the @developers

[desert laurel]

81m is a pretty big investment

[soft gazelle]

This is basically 3 days of no events

[weak copper]

All that wasted xp you could have used to win something decent. What were you thinking?

[soft gazelle]

The events pay out basically nothing, and there's no sourcing on Borg armada directives

[icy trout]

I still have alot left over

[proven bluff]

They hide when they know they have fed us a bunch of 💩

[weak copper]

Even if you still have hundreds of millions, it’s still a waste.

[soft gazelle]

Should've just done 3 days of FH

[soft gazelle]

You'd get significantly more rewards winning every XP leaderboard

[desert laurel]

sure, but you can't buy the same stuff with xp slbs as this borg one.

[icy trout]

Wanted these...

[soft gazelle]

You wanted armada directives so you could buy more armada directives?

[desert laurel]

yeah, 81m isn't worth 6 directives

[soft gazelle]

The armadas don't payout

[icy trout]

8 Free

[desert laurel]

now if you were going after an avatar, or something else you can't get...

[icy trout]

I can save the 20.4k and use the 8 for the team

its still not a great.. but its also a team contribution

[lavish hinge]

Wow have to do 20 armadas to finish the SMS? Really?

[copper flicker]

This is what you get when you have businessmen running an online cookie cutter game as opposed to actual game developers.

[soft gazelle]

You don't want to spend 5 hours running Borg armadas today?

[lavish hinge]

Not particularly 😂

[soft gazelle]

What if I told you that you could get 2 officer shards for it? Then it's totally worth it?

[lavish hinge]

Don't forget the 400-500 active nanoprobes!

[soft gazelle]

Money in the bank!

[amber wave]

👌 thanks

[ornate geyser]

Do I get to pick which 2?

[soft gazelle]

Yes, but only from 5 dudes

[keen rapids]

These borg events are trash

[wise cedar]

How does Scopely continue to constantly fail when it comes to Borg content?

[copper flicker]

because they got a bunch of game addicts that would accept anything

how else can you get away with game rewards that are avatars, this game is a complete clown show

[alpine snow]

Run an MC to get an MC 🤣
Who is running this company this week?

[faint fractal]

We want a mega reward chest to forgive this bad event design.

[karmic chasm]

Spend 10 mega cube directives to score to win 10 mega cube directives….. really…

[buoyant salmon]

I think it's national run your company with clowns week

[quartz flume]

No one at Scoply actually plays this game.

[buoyant salmon]

Like literal clowns with big shoes and balloon animals.

[quartz flume]

I think clowns would come up with something more interesting. Like attack any alliance that has the same icon as your alliance if you are based in a system that starts with the letter A

Never mind that to creative for them

[buoyant salmon]

Lol true! That would be more exciting👍

[quartz flume]

Event reset is like when your a kid and it’s Christmas morning and you rip open the present and find ...... clothes

[karmic chasm]

And rare cost 4 uc directives for 32point but 4 uc cubes score 40 points 🤦🏻‍♂️

[quartz flume]

Scoply math

[buoyant salmon]

Clothes that don't quite fit and are made of wool

[quartz flume]

Or a big pink bunny onesie

https://tenor.com/view/ralphie-pink-bunny-shut-up-a-christmas-story-gif-12664284

[buoyant salmon]

Lol.. just to prolong the disappointment

[desert laurel]

greens for most pts/directive, blues earn pts faster. Pick what you want

[icy trout]

🤣 team formed twice on same armada

[desert laurel]

it's fine. You get to choose what you value more. If I were a whale who buys a lot of directives I'd want to use them fast rather than spend all day doing greens

you may not like it, but harder targets do not score less, only less per directive

[deep steeple]

I wish I had 10 megacube directives so I can spend then and win those 10 megacube directives in the event
