[bitter snow]

Charv/Kang/Marcus have a 3/4 match for the new "rainbow" missions for their respective faction credit payouts, which is nice... maxed warrior on charv so far, and 2/3 on (I think it's diplomat?) for kang

[astral forum]

Honestly i was almost 2 months away from game.. its became too
complicated and more for whales, so i won't bother to learn anything anymore...

[bitter snow]

and saving the daily speed up payouts so I don't get caught with pants down (or officers away) is also key

Should have stayed away then, or stuck to discord if you're back for the people - it's only going to get more complex as they add stuff

[earnest hornet]

ummm and you were complaining people were catching up to you???

[astral forum]

I did events only, no more

[earnest hornet]

and these new traits only came in the arc we just finished

and no its not for whales only, you were just complaining earlier that you had spent and worked so hard to max all your officers and then "lazy" people who didnt pay were catching up to you, and now your complaining its a game for whales??
ummmm wow

way to keep your story straight

[barren hemlock]

I think Gorkon has a 3/4 match on the Klingon Credit rainbow mission too. I know I’ve already maxed chancellor

[astral forum]

@earnest hornetthis not gonna continue... i am done

[bitter snow]

apparently Kras is a good guy to max, but he's usually below deck somewhere 😂

[astral forum]

^510 hostiles/day average

[bitter snow]

Why would anyone do that 😂

[astral forum]

To get officers maxed as example

I know someone better spend couple hundreds/week, but its cheating imo

[bitter snow]

you don't get shards from grinding hostiles though...

[astral forum]

Really?

[bitter snow]

xp, some recruit tokens

not that much

[astral forum]

Thats not true

I got even prime officer tokens from killing hostiles

[bitter snow]

You and Purge would get on like a house on fire

[astral forum]

And unc and rare mats as well

[bitter snow]

but I think he quit already

far more entertaining things to do in life than chase triangles

[astral forum]

But most important is speedups for research/building events from where drop Ultra tokens

[bitter snow]

far more effective, too

[earnest hornet]

ummm what??

[astral forum]

those

[bitter snow]

premium

[astral forum]

Yea

[earnest hornet]

oh recruit tokens

[astral forum]

Yup

[bitter snow]

I get those once in a while, but I think you maxed your officers through dailies over 3 years, rather than hostile grinding

[astral forum]

Hostile killing is way to get officers maxed

[bitter snow]

and events

So, your point of contention is that you "worked" to get where you are, grinding, rather than playing more efficiently?

[astral forum]

Speedups for those events also from hostile killing

[bitter snow]

yep

[astral forum]

That work i did almost 3 years

[bitter snow]

500 a day is mental though

[astral forum]

To get advantage

[bitter snow]

every day

do you not have a family or job?

[astral forum]

Too personal questions, maybe NOT YOUR BUSINESS

[bitter snow]

So, no then

But thing is "to get advantage" is different to "I wanted to do it, and had nothing else I wanted to do with the time"

[astral forum]

And BTW 500 hostiles/day is 2h max

If hands grow from correct place 😛

[bitter snow]

It's not a small amount of time though 👀

[bitter snow]

Say what you mean, give in to your anger... I think this was lost in translation?

[astral forum]

What anger is this?

[bitter snow]

I'm sill chuckling and poking the angry bear, what can I say... you're cheaper entertainment than STFC, and I can do it in the background 😉

[astral forum]

You basically envy all my achievements and scoff as you can to crap my game progress

[earnest hornet]

no, just more the sense of entitlement you seem to have, as if no one else is able to be where you are, cos you put in all this work,

i appreciate the amount of work you have put in, thats great.

[astral forum]

Thats why its pity when all my work crushing down

[earnest hornet]

i know how hard it is to get to that point of maxed shards of officer, im still working there myself

[bitter snow]

You obviously slowed down, keep pushing!

[astral forum]

Pushing when no more shard drops?

[earnest hornet]

but its not

[bitter snow]

There are more than just officers to improve

[astral forum]

Or no more equal rewards when others get em

[bitter snow]

Just means you can move focus to elsewhere on the game

my officers are ~30% potato still 🙂

[earnest hornet]

you said you have maxed shards but they aren't all maxed.... why not??

[astral forum]

Look at this... no packs there

After i got last shard of all possible epics from t-ponder recruit menu

[earnest hornet]

so? save them, and when/if they add more then you'll cream it again and be ahead of everyone in officer shards.

how come they aren't all max levelled then?

[astral forum]

exactly when or if

[astral forum]

Badges, independent credits

[bitter snow]

how are you short of badges? I thought they were pretty plentiful since the minor commendation thing

OK, potato officers here

[earnest hornet]

um so then why complain that you dont have a place to spend the golden trophies fromt he COW event when the other chest has independant credit in there too

[earnest hornet]

knida but takes a while to accumulate those too

[astral forum]

Well, 1 epic need... uhm 9 badges to get it maxed

1 badge drop from disco event/month

How many months was disco? 1 year?

12 badges

[earnest hornet]

10-11 months?

[bitter snow]

errr. 5 TNG, 3 TOS, 1 Borg intermediary... then disco?

I'm missing something in there

I know disco was 4 months

ah, no, that's it

ended 9 months back then

[astral forum]

I mean those thingies which drop from disco refinery

[bitter snow]

and each battlepass has had badges in, too

[astral forum]

Not enough

[bitter snow]

badges can drop from hostiles too, right? Or is that a vicious rumour?

[astral forum]

I could spend 40 badges right away

[earnest hornet]

nope

[astral forum]

no

[earnest hornet]

in 3.5 years i have never seen one drop

[bitter snow]

fair enough, the latter then 🙂

I have 15k in commendations 😐

and between 25-30 of each badge it appears

https://tenor.com/view/yahia-potato-dance-gif-16070760

But I am a comparatively casual player

[astral forum]

That time when i have spent first badges in game wasn't info about how much badges need to max epic officer and i maxed officers same time as i got all shards, not saved em

So commons and uncommons i maxed

Should skip MANY useless

[bitter snow]

is just quietly appreciating the dancing potato

[earnest hornet]

well actually there had been information for officers badges etc from rather early on,

had that information before official release

Hivemind, and then early Lcars

[astral forum]

I wasn't on Hive server

[shrewd star]

When new arc event is going to start?

[bitter snow]

most likely Tuesday next week

[earnest hornet]

no date, but expecting next week

[bitter snow]

no guarantee, but probable

[shrewd star]

Ty

[novel hollow]

Do you have a ton of officers just waiting to upgrade? I have barely any badges and used commendations to get my last couple of command badges to upgrade officers.

@bitter snow

[bitter snow]

Some, Nero and Khan are just waiting on their respective credits, the others are UC and Rares that don't need it yet

[novel hollow]

Gotcha, they need to turn the spigot on slightly higher than it is but it’s definitely not the stopper it was.
I’ve got away to go before the next round of epics need their 5 badge haul.

[fierce cosmos]

I'm still trying to get a list together of who to prioritize, not just for badges but also faction credits. If you come across anything, can you send it my way? I did look at the officer tool but it's only a little helpful in this matter.

[indigo perch]

I have a lot max promoted but not lvl 30 yet.

[novel hollow]

Depends on where you are in game.

Rev did a video a long time ago w tiers but a lot of new officers since then.

[steep crane]

Anyone know how the military supremacy event works?

[novel hollow]

Nope

[steep crane]

Not everyone in my alliance is getting the event

[novel hollow]

That’s correct. And no one really and truly knows why.

[steep crane]

Thank you!

[waxen sedge]

Same here, at a point officer shards and faction credits can be earned at a decent rate without a ton of work, the same can't be said for officer xp unless I am missing something.

[ornate geyser]

Chen Tlaan Pike Moreau Picard Bev 5 6 Khan Kirk Gorkon Nero Marcus is a good place to start...

[ripe jungle]

Well pike doesn’t really need to be promoted, definitely not before officers with more useful abilities. And Picard/bev you won’t have to worry about promoting for a looong time lol.

How about zhou?

Yeah it’s weird he’s only r1 but my yuki is already r2

But if you had the shards you would promote zhou right. Mitigation of 300% defense at max seems quite good

[ornate geyser]

I don't disagree with that. But...a lot of us will be running ships with limited below decks slots, for a long time. So an officer that is used constantly (like Pike) benefits from stats bumps because it gives more flexibility on what we stuff below decks.

[fierce cosmos]

Just curious, has anyone verified you need to have the officers fully promoted to get the TPs? I see the lower ones convert to officer xp all the time even without them being maxed.

[brazen hound]

Im at level 34 and I dont have the Military Supremacy event all I have is COW. Is that normal at 34 or am I missing something?

[severe edge]

i think you only get military supremacy if you dont have a level appropriate ship, i stopped getting them when i built an augur

[brazen hound]

My highest ship is Sally/Bortas

Im recently triple faction locked would that have anything to do with it?

[safe raft]

No theres no military supremacy somewhere mid 30s

Th thought it was 36+ that didnt get it but not sure

Nothing to do with either ships or rep

[abstract gate]

I don't have the MS either. It's a waste of time bothering about MS. be happy you don't have the MS.

[solar fog]

Need more events between Arcs. Alliance and solo COW and all daily events done.

[novel hollow]

No one knows why you don’t get mil sup and anyone who says they do is lying. And I had it last month at 36 so ….

[pastel dagger]

Yeah the Military Supremacy event was missing for me too. Got some BS about "play style".

Unless Scopely can quantify the basis on which the event is offered, there's a class action waiting to happen...

They had better be giving me events that others don't get, or I am gonna be cross... 😡

[cunning radish]

ah the joy of people whining about not getting MS

😂

[elder gyro]

Id run faction hunt during all three of the weekend events

[solar fog]

Would be nice to see a good Faction Hunt and an Apex event too. Why not throw in a mini Borg event also.

[elder gyro]

They will but im saying run faction hunt as well

At the time they run these other events

[desert laurel]

MilSup needs a companion event that pops for everyone who doesn't get it

[cunning radish]

people actin like its 10000 of g3 credit rewards

and that its necessary to advance and theyll die without it

and that it will cure cancer

and HIV

and put presents under their christmas tree

and pay their loans

and do their homework

and email their boss back

.........................ok im done 😂

[desert laurel]

nah, I just want people to know that they didn't get milsup on purpose and the "missing" event wasn't a bug

sure, people will question why some did and not them, but at least it would cut down on some complaints

[cunning radish]

im convinced nothing will ever stop people complaining about this game

😂

[earnest hornet]

Yup this is true, it won’t matter what happens people still complain 😂😂

[ornate geyser]

I mean...we just had a flood of complaints because Scopely put a surprise shard bonus in an event...how do you complain about free stuff, lol...

[cunning radish]

Because people spent all their mats in first two

When they would have saved

Basically

To be fair I probably would have waited to tier my ent until third one had I known

Not a major deal tho 🤷‍♂️

[robust vapor]

Some people would literally complain if you gave them free G3/G4 uncommons, I promise it..

[cunning radish]

🤣

[robust vapor]

Though talking about complaints 🤔 where are all the COVID chests? 😆

[ornate geyser]

Seems illogical. If everyone saved for the last event prices would have skyrocketed and many savers would have missed out entirely. And as the last SLB...no chance at a makeup...

[cunning radish]

Pretty much

But you can make that argument about letting players know about any event

[keen mist]

Anybody got a Franklin A chart of refines per ops?

[earnest hornet]

#⚡-guides-and-infographics

[tribal valley]

Is the crucible of war monthly alliance that rewards you the alliance event trophies a legit challenge or is it automatically completed?

[earnest hornet]

How do you mean automatically completed?? The alliance milestones are done by your alliance doing your solo milestone each day, it should be relatively simple to have done if you have at least 40-45 or more, people in an alliance

The more people the easier it is.

My alliance basically have the whole thing done in about 30 hours

[desert laurel]

haven't failed to complete it in over 9m, early in a server's career it might be difficult to finish or if your alliance has low activity

[dapper drum]

very first CoW there was 12 alliances that finished the AMS

after that it was 50+

[languid kayak]

FACTION HUNT PLEASE! With the old token/xp reward system would be outstanding, Scopely. 😁

[covert arch]

Hey Guys
One Quick question: can you complete the battlepass overflow event without paying?

[dapper drum]

yes

[covert arch]

Ok, thank you

[bitter snow]

You could even do it with 1 day to spare this month just gone (though that's a new one)

[bitter snow]

Patience, it'll either be tomorrow, or in a few days time depending on whether Apex or FH is queued up first before the next arc

[languid kayak]

Yes, just need to make sure an get all the BP points EVERY day. This last month, they gave us 1 day extra (probably a mistake, since the first overflow reward paid out before the end of the Battlepass rewards). In past events, if you missed even 1 day, you would not get max overflow rewards.

[dapper drum]

no more FH give us a PvP event

[bitter snow]

no such thing, they can't balance them properly 😂

[amber wave]

Do u know if the disco refine chart is there too? I couldn’t seem to find it 😂

[gentle elbow]

Grabbed from KMA

[covert arch]

@bitter snow @languid kayak thanks Guys

[amber wave]

Thank you lol

[bronze bloom]

The time and events between arcs are so boring….. and nothing new…. Scopley aren’t able to improve

[drifting bridge]

The time during arcs is boring AF too

[bitter snow]

They varied it last two gaps, and got slated for messing with things 😂

[novel hollow]

Kill 15 saladin/intrepid/ent/Newton’s for uc crystal and trit (repeat other factions w their ships)

[hexed gorge]

Nice event to make everyone bubble withing 15mins of event, been tried before

Pvp just doesn't work in events for players

[honest mortar]

That event failed because you also lost points if you died. So once you got a few kills and placed it made sense to sit in base and sit on your lead. Also, the rewards sucked.

[somber crown]

For the 3rd time I don't have any events.

The excuse I get from Scopely support "We match events to your playing style. Please try later"

So... do my dailies... finish the COW daily... and sit on my 12 hour shield until tomorrow.

[desert laurel]

that's normal for the interim period between arc parts, wish they'd stack more events to fill in the time, like borg+cow, but it is what it is

[vital drum]

It's nice and quiet. A good time to get some stuff done that got sidelined a bit during the arc.

Like, smash some eclipse. Mine something like Data. Work on your faction rep.

Pretend you re your own boss and you get to decide what to do during the workday

[steady sphinx]

Anyone know what the next arc will be?

[weak copper]

Yes - another disappointment 🤣

[dapper moss]

logic say or Deep Space 9 or Voyager. Could be even an casual arc like Franklin power up arc

[devout holly]

I would not be surprised it its an Outlaw mini arc after they played a part in the TNG arc

good little filler arc before the next TNG arc with Enterprise D

[novel hollow]

They should do a scary characters theme for Halloween a month of all the bad Guys from Star Trek

[celest cloud]

I'm expecting a one-off filler arc, myself.

[dapper moss]

could be interesting, these rogue officers sucks. A power up could be a fresh air in the game

[raw zenith]

faction hunt it is

[deep steeple]

faction hunt gone back to the high milestones again i thought they lowered it to give us less screentime

[ocean raven]

Hey Scopely when are you going to update the rewards on events like faction hunt for ops 40+.? Would love to be able to get 3* and 4* mats.

[merry fulcrum]

You think scopely would actually learn?

[weak copper]

In-arc faction hunts are different from between-arc faction hunts. Don’t see an issue with that, personally. Lower milestones in-arc make sense given the usual plethora of other events.

[abstract gate]

Next TNG arc? I thought tng was done?

[wind fog]

Yes. Wishful thinking that we get more TNG stuff

[desert laurel]

anything they could have done for tng, could have been included in a larger tng arc rather than 2 consecutive ones. And even if they went with the latter, which officers from the show are left to use? Sure it's possible, but I'm leaning toward something different.

[sullen barn]

Reginald Barclay, Argyle, Guinan, Edward Jellico, K'Ehleyr, Kellogg, Mot, O'Brien(s)!, Alyssa Ogawa, Katherine Pulaski, Ro Laren, Alexander Rozhenko, Sito Jaxa
also add in notable aliens/enemies like House of Duras members, Lore, Q, Bok, Noonian Soong, Sela, Spot, Lwaxana Troi.
They could have done each season as part of the arc and had plenty of cast and story to pull.

[noble thunder]

Epic villain...he would be awsome

[desert laurel]

my list is significantly smaller, I've excluded characters that weren't officers, and especially minor characters. And I have doubts we're getting villains considering we didn't get the TOS ones like Mudd and Khan. But good list, and I like that Barclay's first, he's mine as well.

[sullen barn]

yeppers, was just really disappointed by the TNG arc and think there is so much more they could/could've done with it.
but hey i just noticed Worf is no longer Dworf.

[full notch]

I wonder if we get a new Worf for DS9

Or if the current one gets updated with promotion

[sour swan]

It's a TNG movies arc next

[stray tide]

whats wrong with away teams balance, hard to find the needed skills to get crit chance, even harder to get right skill maxed out.

[dapper drum]

people still do that stupid event?

haven't touched FH in forever, waste of time, rewards to effort is way off

[broken comet]

I'll do FH for whatever Faction I'm currently grinding.

[waxen sedge]

You guys are nuts, faction hunt is great.

[desert laurel]

some of these rich guys have too much exp and faction credits

[main spindle]

So dose the last part of today's in-game message mean theres no new arc planed till next year?

[desert laurel]

expect a new arc on tuesday, either this or next

[main spindle]

Oh ok any insight on what the arc will be?

[desert laurel]

the roadmap has a pic of ds9 at the end, so maybe that

[main spindle]

That could be cool

[desert laurel]

but that might be just part of the 'coming year' of content

we'll know when tuesday hits

[devout holly]

nope

[full egret]

@Scopely work this out, I’m trying to lock feds, I was -1.7m after killing feds for FH I’m back to -2m 😡

Shouldn’t it even out?

[desert laurel]

no, you can shape your faction by targeting different hostiles, like traders

[full egret]

But 300k

I was also hitting explorers for that reason

I should have put this in a different chat, my bad

[devout holly]

there is research that will effect your rep when grinding factions if its not balanced then you will lose more with one faction than with the ones you have researched more

[full egret]

At level 35 most my research is done, I also hit Klingon vets for more rep, it just vanished and I don’t understand why

[main spindle]

@full egret if ur using fed ship u will loose more rep in fed space then if u were to use a rom or kling ship

[desert laurel]

if you have chen t5, moreau t3 and pike you'll have more fed faction than you can deal with by farming tygokor

[full egret]

I used the Cent for alpha Centuri and the B’rel for Wolf, but the crew makes some sense…it is however a lot of rep to lose

It’s Scopley, thank you for the input

Chen is maxed, Moreau is lvl15 and Pike is lvl10, for reference

I have bad luck with officers 😂

[eternal vapor]

So what is the next Battle Pass Arc going to be for theme/content????

[full egret]

Useless, and a lot of money

[robust vapor]

Probably DS9..

[drowsy wyvern]

Lower Decks

[full egret]

Will it be? Do CBS have the rights to the not franchise things?

[fresh peak]

DS9 in 2022 folks (most likley if all goes to plan)

[desert laurel]

you're ready for tygokor with that crew, as long as your ship isn't terrible

[full egret]

1.6m Cent, 1.4m B’Rel

I’ve had bad luck with ship parts

[desert laurel]

the cent is probably fine, ship parts are a lat purchase if you're out

[full egret]

Second row are all in 20k though

I have lat, it’s the refinery and up gas as we all know

*uc

[desert laurel]

I'd just live in tygokor til you've hit lock, might not get as many kills as an epic ship, but the drops are nice and you actually want fed faction

these days I'm fighting to drive it down

[full egret]

I’ll as my current crew when they get back

I don’t think I have them, and it would be my third lock

[novel hollow]

I’ve never heard of ship changing rep +/-

[novel hollow]

With a cent?

[earnest hornet]

its the faction rep researches its + & - rep

[full egret]

It was always around

[desert laurel]

no, I have an epic ship

[earnest hornet]

its always been there

[desert laurel]

but I see 28s farming tygokor all the time

[novel hollow]

I’m talking about rabbit who if I read right you told him to love in ty go

[full egret]

D3 hates roms and can give you more rep and so on I think

[full egret]

Doing that to lvl6 as we speak, I think

[desert laurel]

yes, a cent should be able to handle tygokor with chen t5, moreau t3, and pike

[novel hollow]

Meh

[full egret]

I have no problems killing, back to what I said was why did I lose 300k rep

[novel hollow]

Yeah that’s ship + research driven by research.

[full egret]

Research is everything in the end

[novel hollow]

Guess that’s why mine are all 1/2 don’t need it.

[earnest hornet]

yea but there also standard research that nots ships specific

[full egret]

It doesn’t make a lot of difference

[novel hollow]

Yeah he was saying ships that’s what I was saying wasn’t the case (outside the research in Galaxy)

[earnest hornet]

it increases the rep gained, but also increases the rep lost, that was the point cos you said there wasnt

[full egret]

Especially when you get screwed

Both of your points are valid, but still, 300k

It’s gone, I’ll just start again

[novel hollow]

Sorry, mines at level 1/2 and I’ve been triple locked since 30 now a 37 and I have no earthly reason to bump those researches because I’ve never had any reason to think I’m going to go to a billion on all 3

[full egret]

I don’t mind killing as my alliance will tell you lol

[full egret]

That makes sense

[novel hollow]

I’ve been working my fed down since ty go f-Ed it up so bad 😭😭😭😭

[full egret]

Fed are the bane of my life, I hit them for dailies and then cringe, I would love the ability to archive dailies

Oh and the inability to purchase fed rep points from certain stores is unfair

[desert laurel]

why do you hit them? only need to attack 2 factions to finish dailies

[full egret]

It’s a habit, and one I need to get out of

I have to remember to hit feds

Klingons even

[pale kestrel]

Tier ships for the faction you don't want to lose much reputation in hitting the hostile or avoid hitting that faction's survey ships.

[abstract gate]

Anyone know what this event is?

[granite dragon]

Anyone know what this mystery is ?

[tulip owl]

One of the alliances in our sever have 60 points… with no clue how they did it 😂

[polar crown]

I've personally scored 170 points, not sure how

[novel hollow]

We have a guy w 24k no clue

[verbal stump]

building give points, seems station event

research too

[halcyon sentinel]

30k all i did was rush some research

[novel hollow]

Officer too … 75k gave 105 points

[verbal stump]

it's like those mysterious events

[novel hollow]

Sucks I already rushed 3 researches since the research slb started lol 😂

[verbal stump]

ship xp dont give points

[halcyon sentinel]

im not rushing anymore research totals are way too high for me to bother with 😄 , assume this event is some error

[verbal stump]

rewards seem some kind of error...

[tender moon]

About post that to. Any ideas

[kind spire]

Rushed a research

[pastel topaz]

Just got taken down from our server. (S9)

[safe citrus]

same

[viral sail]

Dang - event disappeared a second before I spent a bunch of officer XP

[halcyon sentinel]

time to demand a compensation chest as QtheMusik got rewards we didnt! i kid lol

[wind plaza]

That be some BS! I know people who told me they already finished it!

[white coral]

I saw the event

Was always retrieving

Now its gone

[verbal stump]

I was close 😦

[wintry turret]

Also just finished a Research, got the message with counting points and puff, event was gone, no reward

[viral sail]

😠

[main ore]

Same here, guess an intern pushed the wrong button

[novel hollow]

Officer xp wasn’t gonna do you any good

[clever wasp]

So on my server people claimed milestones before it was taken down

[kind spire]

I actually got the reward

And got to keep it

[wind plaza]

So who thinks they are going to give a compensation chest as people already claimed rewards and who thinks they are going to do nothing?

[main ore]

Nothing

[halcyon sentinel]

i cant see a chest lol, seems unwarranted

[kind spire]

I think this was just for finishing the first stage. Rushed one research, but now it’s gone.

[upper knot]

why would they give a comp chest for such an insignificant little burp

[south arrow]

Because some got the rewards

[kind spire]

If enough complain..... 🤣

[south arrow]

Send in tickets to complain

[main ore]

Some got the rewards, some used speedups to score some used lat etc

[wintry turret]

Nothing has happened here, please go on with your dayli business

[sudden magnet]

i got through all but the top tier

spent a lot of speedups tho 😛

[upper knot]

a handful of people got some extra lat, only someone who believes in participation ribbons would cry about wanting a comp chest for not being one of those people.

[wind plaza]

Nice, now we get more in compensation chest

[abstract gate]

Looked like a gain power event. I rushed 2 buildings gained 300k power And that was what I got

[south arrow]

Only a moron wouldn’t want the rewards

[abstract gate]

17k lat was nice. Paid for my speed ups

[upper knot]

wanting and feeling entitled are 2 different things

[south arrow]

Still only a moron wouldn’t want that I can see where you stand in that area 🤣

[upper knot]

<@&509691205798592532> isn't an insult like that against the standards of this discord?

[wind plaza]

What ops level?

[abstract gate]

Lvl 40

[south arrow]

Waaaa he was mean to me lmao

Better go tell ur mom

[wind plaza]

Did anyone get screenshots of the rewards as an ops lvl 36?

[clever wasp]

That was from an ops 35 on server 51

[wind plaza]

Thanks for that.

[pale steppe]

That was a disappointment. Wasted materials on a phantom event

[granite dragon]

Yup…

[tawdry minnow]

What event do you guys have ? Server 146 doenst have that

[earnest hornet]

No body has it

[tawdry minnow]

Seems so 🤣 a scopely booboo again then

[jovial crest]

During faction hunt are the points assigned to killing each level of faction hostile the same for every ops level?

[jagged inlet]

Yep

@jovial crest

[burnt trail]

That's why faction hunt is so terrible once you cross that 40 mark

[celest cloud]

I had it for approx an hour around 12h ago. Server #188

It was a domination event in terms of scoring

With an alliance SLB alongside the SMS, both were pulled.

[earnest hornet]

I know it was there. It was similar to domination but wasn’t exactly, cos ship xp didn’t work, and Officer could was small.
But wasn’t the point because it wasn’t supposed to be there

[celest cloud]

Not so nice for the player in my alliance that popped a Level 40 DP to help us in the alliance event though...

[earnest hornet]

Well that’s no ones fault but their own, yes it was there, accidentally, but considering it wasn’t supposed to be there and it had NO scoring mechanics showing at all. It was only by trial and error that people were figuring what was scoring that’s just their own fault

[celest cloud]

Entirely disagree. How is a player supposed to know what is and is not supposed to be there? The "Retrieving..." issue is so commonplace with real events that people are now used to it, and the point is that these actions did score towards the event, encouraging more actions

It is poor form to pull an event once it has started.

[meager galleon]

If the event was never meant to run, Ofcourse it gets taken down

Lot of fuss over nothing

Most people didn’t even see it

[abstract gate]

How I see it, scoplay screw up is my gain

[brittle inlet]

when your team tells you they are getting 17k lat In the event, that's a big deal.

when you blow your savings of speedups to get that lat and don't, that's a big deal.

When there is no acknowledgement of the issue, and it's clear the admins don't see the issue with that, that's a big deal

"if it was never meant to run" how do I know it's not supposed not run? I'm sorry was there an announcement I missed? I don't think so. Maybe you have access to more information then the normal players and your privilege is showing.

[meager galleon]

Where have I blamed anyone?

[meager galleon]

Dismissive and blame are two different things

I gave my opinion as a player

[oak geyser]

@tawdry minnow you are on Level 39? I have it too.

[tawdry minnow]

Yeah , already did that event 6 times 🤣 only need one for when you wanne go 40 … but I’m staying 39 for a while to grow more

@oak geyser

[desert laurel]

apex, no auction, too bad

[earnest hornet]

What do you mean no auction??

[desert laurel]

they usually run an auction for the interim period, like georgiou last month

[earnest hornet]

Sometimes,

[desert laurel]

today's one event is data mining...

[rich grove]

This argument is wrong on so many levels...... "If no one sees anything it's okay to do whatever I want", the least you can do is acknowledge that they fd up. It don't matter if not many people saw it, just don't try to hide when things go wrong

[errant linden]

Shills gonna shill unfortunately. Anytime scopely mess anything up, you can guarantee the same 2-3 people will be straight on here blaming it on the players instead.

[south arrow]

Sounds fair some people got 18k lat and the rest of us get fuked over

[abstract gate]

That was only when we had an extended period of time in between

[desert laurel]

been playing long? they've almost always had an auction during interim events, sometimes projectile, but usually an officer

[fierce cosmos]

Were cosmic cleanups only on Saturday during the arcs? Thought it was (and planned it being) a normal weekend event like the discovery Sundays.

[abstract gate]

Since launch and I only remember 2 in between all 5 arcs of TNG

[desert laurel]

who were the 2 you remember?

[abstract gate]

GG and…well maybe it was 1. Maybe it will come tomorrow. 3 day auctions are miserable

[desert laurel]

ok, before her was aug picard, then jul plasma blasts, then jun kuron, then may plasma blasts, then apr hmudd, then mar harrison

my records were spotty before then since I really started tracking them with harrison with SSs in an attempt to get an edge

[winter leaf]

Tal

[wind plaza]

Did anyone who put in a ticket about the event last night get a responce?

[mystic violet]

This Apex event is a big disappointment if you’ve already constructed the Botany Bay. How am I suppose to get 75,000 points if I can usually only get around 750 per hr mining. I would need 100 hours of constant mining.

[abstract gate]

If you can only mine at 750p/h you are doing something seriously wrong

[lost abyss]

Augment recruit shards, khan, Eurydice, either mudd shards in transporter patterns, upgrade the bob and mine much better nodes deeper into aug space. As is, I don’t think there is any data node that mines that slow with a bb anymore.

[mystic violet]

Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? My Botany Bay only does 786 per hr

[lost abyss]

You likely aren’t mining data at that point, only other option is it’s t1 level 1 and you have done zero researches in outlaw or galaxy tabs for it

[abstract gate]

Make sure you are using Joaquin and 10of10 if you have

Joaquin is the data mining officer

[bitter snow]

What ops are you, what tier/level is your BB, and what are you mining where?

[mystic violet]

My server is 68, I think a month old, it’s tier 1. I’m already $400 in the game and there’s no way I can do this event without spending more. For my server, it’s an obvious pay to obtain event.

[bitter snow]

😂 You think the data is bad, enjoy shooting eclipse hostiles/armadas if you've not got a Stella yet...

That's day 2/3 btw

[mystic violet]

I spent $150 on a Discovery I cannot upgrade no matter what i do, Not spending anymore again. Waste of money.

[bitter snow]

Data mining, make sure Joaquin is on the bridge, and look for decoded data (green) as it mines faster

... That's mental

What ops are you?

[mystic violet]

24 ops, the server is about a month old

[halcyon sentinel]

like mumford said though, you must use Joaquin to mine data at any reasonable rate, also be aware the time it takes to mine data varies enormously between systems

[bitter snow]

And you're mining in augment space, yes? The yellow bit

[hexed gorge]

Probably mining reds

[mystic violet]

I have Joaquin, It’s 786 per hour of corrupted data, highest I see is 750

So every hour, I’d have to switch

[charred grove]

Which system are you mining in? They have different speeds in different ones.

[bitter snow]

That still seems far too slow

[mystic violet]

Raddan 22

[hexed gorge]

Seems about right for a t1 bb on red

[bitter snow]

Ouch

[halcyon sentinel]

1471 per hour for me in that system, i mine in yarda where its 870k odd per hour, try unlocking or going to a higher system

[charred grove]

Raddan is the slowest system

[bitter snow]

And level up the BB as much as you can

What ships do you have available?

[halcyon sentinel]

mines t6 ops 35 doesnt make all that much difference zabatiz in the slow systems lol

[bitter snow]

I've not touched corrupted since they made the mining speed changes 👀

[halcyon sentinel]

yeah only green for me, just looked to try to help bob

[bitter snow]

But also out of touch with baby BB spec, both mine are maxed

[mystic violet]

I have to put Cadet Scotty, I will have to use on my botany Bay, I can do 3,144/hr in Kor na Ron

[hexed gorge]

Data miner in galaxy research tree also makes a big difference

[charred grove]

You can see the different speed bonuses here

[mystic violet]

I have a T3 Discovery stuck without an event or more money, I have a T6 Northstar, and working on shipyard 24 for Bortas

[hexed gorge]

Yeah, disco is a pain to upgrade

[bitter snow]

The event happens weekly, and at 24youdont need it that big...

[halcyon sentinel]

you're far ahead of where i was in a month of playing bob, so theres a bright side at least lol

[hexed gorge]

Spores are drip fed weekly

[bitter snow]

As are refinery stuff for parts

And recruits

[hexed gorge]

Yes, I know, 3 years to get to 40 😂 and I'm still playing 😭

[bitter snow]

Only finished mine a month ago, and I got it when it released

[hexed gorge]

I'm 2k from maxing, really want those speedups

[bitter snow]

They're goooood

[bitter snow]

Bortas is 28...

You might mean kumari

But just tide the n* up there instead of the common 3* ships

[hexed gorge]

I liked my d3

Came in handy for scrapping

I kinda regret that

[bitter snow]

I liked my mayflower, but didn't get a northstar until later, with n* you can skip quite a number of the ships if you keep it growing, save mats for later

[hexed gorge]

Never had one

[bitter snow]

And yeah, mayflowers 1 through 3 have been scrapped 😂

[hexed gorge]

Done 1 d3 2 mfs now onto a LEGO so I can move to 41

Those common 4s are a pain to get

[bitter snow]

Yep, one each of the 26s does it though, just a pain point to get through... First of many 😭

[mystic violet]

I’ve been watching a fancy intro guy’s videos on youtube and have been learning. I think I will skip a lot of ships, take the Bortas to 29

[bitter snow]

Don't sweat it too much though Bob, apex comes round monthly in between arcs, so if you have the BB up a bit next time it'll be a breeze

[mystic violet]

It’s just frustrating to see an event and not see a path towards completing it.

[bitter snow]

As you build rep/complete missions/ops up, BB build will become easier... You do get points for spending on the BB component upgrades, that could help you?

[hexed gorge]

Get the vidar, use that through to 34

[bitter snow]

Unless you're cooking the books in accounting, avoid knee jerk purchases, even (especially?) for events... always sleep on it with this game.... Particularly as the packs become better value the higher ops you get

[bitter snow]

Ouch, that just feels like masochism

[hexed gorge]

But is it? Unless your doing pvp it will do the events, the big thing is the timing of pmc popping up

[bitter snow]

It's nice having something to build tho 😂

[hexed gorge]

I get that 😂

[bitter snow]

If I was redoing, I'd be northstar, vidar, bortas, enterprise I think...

Just to make sure I never had two ships of the same class running at once

[mystic violet]

I bought 2 Jelly fishes the first week and regretted that fast. Learning fast. Not upset about the money, I sell VIAC options so most of my purchases are thanks to VIAC.

[bitter snow]

Love my sally, but easier to not have vidar, saladin and miners all at once 👀

[hexed gorge]

For some reason I went bortas, augar

[bitter snow]

Masochism, definitely 😂

[hexed gorge]

Wanted to be different 🤣

[bitter snow]

And you're all sorted on crews?

Baby jelly is good of you plan to camp low, but its usefulness goes fast, n* is a solid buy though, easily taking you to vidar or a 26 faction ship

[mystic violet]

The reason I got into Star Trek was from VIAC. I admit that I always thought Star Trek was cheesy but the Picard series was amazing and I hope it comes to this game. Now I’m fascinated with Star Trek, watched Discovery which was great. On TNG which is starting out super cheesy but I’m pushing forward.

So skip Bortas for Vidar. Should I just spend more in Discovery?

[halcyon sentinel]

first season is the worst of them in tng i feel so keep pushing lol

[bitter snow]

TNG was the 80s/90s... Cheesy was the flavour of the decade...

[bitter snow]

Discovery is a taxi, slow grow it, do not spend

[halcyon sentinel]

disco is never a fighting ship, so dont spend if thats what you want

[bitter snow]

It's usefulness is limited until you get the warp range and summon research really

[mystic violet]

I hope they make the Tarantino Star Trek movie.

[bitter snow]

Bortas is 28, vidar is at 25? Vidar you will want, as it will help generate faction credits to get all ships past ops 26

Make sure you have two factions going up together, too... Helps with repairs, helps get dailies done faster, gives you an "off" faction to spam recruit tokens on

[abstract gate]

And when you finally scrap the Bortas at L42, you can sing "i got rid of the most fugly ship in the fleet"

[mystic violet]

I skipped the Kehrs, I will get the Vidar then.

[bitter snow]

Kehra, vahklas and kumari are totally skipable, build for the progress missions, but don't put anything into them

Vidar is for life, and the 26s (mayflower, d3, legionary) can at least be scrapped at 34 for primes

Or, for just getting through ops 40 😂

[hexed gorge]

Disco is only good for two things, grinding isn't one of them

The 26s are good for primes as well

[ripe jungle]

The commons are skippable, and should be skipped if you want to level up fast, but if you take it a bit slower they’re not that bad. The ships get more expensive quickly, so eventually you’ll find that a max kehra or vahklas is only one tier or so on a sally or centurion.

[somber canyon]

@bitter snow, so how do I get Vidar?

[wind fog]

Event store or cosmic cleanup events. Have to be 25 to see the bps in store, so save your cosmic cleanup tokens.

[fierce cosmos]

Anyone else only seeing one "daily" event? Usually there is a 12 and 6 hour one, but I'm only seeing one of em...

[celest cloud]

This is normal, it happens once per 11 days

Yesterday there were three events at once, so it evens out.

[abstract gate]

Hi @celest cloud

[lofty isle]

Anything leaked about what the next month arc going to be?

[desert laurel]

haven't seen or watched anything, but CCs tend to get hints to disclose on their shows: #🌌-galaxy-chat message

Other than that, we've received hints on what it isn't: TOS, TNG, Borg, DS9

[dapper moss]

so could be Voyager

[full notch]

Enterprise?

Server wars?

Mirror Mirror?

[ancient meadow]

Tbh. I’d see them pushing enterprise D in dec for Christmas spending. But that’s just me.

[merry fulcrum]

Ahh yes dropping enterprise d when 1. It's not tng arc. 2 when people are spending their money on loved ones and not a game

[ember walrus]

I forsee bugs a new thing that costs cash and a new currency

[merry fulcrum]

Don't forget the new currency packs while said new currency is locked behind time grind

[ember walrus]

Very true

[hardy parcel]

You'll need a currency to buy a token that you can use to buy another token that buys a currency that gives some resources.

[ember walrus]

That you have get a currency to grind rep to unlock to buy in the first place

[hardy parcel]

You got it 🤣

But it isn't available for 3 months or $99.99

[ember walrus]

99.99 for 1/3 unlock

[abstract gate]

I didn't get anymore Zeta Tokens after the first Apex event. Is that correct?

[hexed gorge]

What's this?

[dull radish]

Good luck to get 1.2b points 🤣

[peak tangle]

Zeta tokens is usually just on the first apex event (1. Day)

[eager hollow]

@hexed gorge never seen this before between arcs, is this today?

[lapis harbor]

Please provide more than 1 lvl33 epic armada PLEASE

[desert laurel]

eclipse? there are two on my server. Tons of regular epic 33s

[amber wave]

There’s never more than 1

Even for eclipse

[merry fulcrum]

recycled event from the filler arc back in april where they added the franklin a, crap rewards for the most part

[robust vapor]

I'd assume that you can get more than 1, based on the fact that you can get 2 of the 31 epics to spawn on rare cases.

[amber wave]

There’s 31 epics?

[robust vapor]

I might be thinking the 33's then 🤔 in which case I've seen two of them in the system

[hollow fractal]

Anyone have any theorys as to what the next monthly event is gonna be?

[earnest hornet]

It’s only as low as 33 epics for Exchange armadas, and they spawn when you do uncommon and rares, if you want more Epics do more uncommons and rares in Delta System

@amber wave theres only ever 1 spawn unless it just sits there and more uncommons or rares are done, but normally epics don’t sit long enough to spawn more then 1 😂

[amber wave]

Yeah exactly 😂 that’s why

[earnest hornet]

I have had it where more then one epic appears in a system mainly 35s cos that’s what we do a lot of, when we are madly doing rares and uncommons, not often but does happen

[robust vapor]

I've seen two spawn at the same time on two separate occasions 🤷‍♂️
I would suggest it's more likely that each spawn just has a low chance of spawning the epic, and that it's actually high turnover that would make it more likely to happen (and during periods of high turnover is when I have seen them).

[earnest hornet]

👍🏼 lol yup

[desert laurel]

interesting, far too many people have only seen 1 max in their Delta. It's not a rare occurrence here, and there's no need to kill anything to force spawns. The baseline spawn is 2 epic 33s, and some 33s & 35s of both, with a usual spawn time of 15-20m.

In any case, it largely doesn't matter if different servers have a different baseline. Everyone on their server has the same rate so the slb is still fair.

[desert laurel]

didn't have to wait long for them to spawn and say cheese

[cunning radish]

wow

i didnt know some servers got 2 epics

u guys lucky on ur server

we have 1 every 20-25 mins

[dapper drum]

yeah our systems only have 1 each unless you count the 2 lvl 40's in penumbra

there was 1 time months ago that mige got 2 during the apex rogue slb

but it was literally a one time thing

delta is always a hot mess the moment an epic spawns it has 4 flags nearly instantly

[desert laurel]

wow, only one in each? that's even worse. We have 2 epics in each from Delta onward, except Penumbra, which has a sole 45.

[cunning radish]

lucky

maybe its based on population or something

or server age...

[robust vapor]

It's probably just a small % chance on spawn added with some luck. Usually the churn isn't super high and epics don't sit idle for long most days, so you wouldn't expect to ordinarily see it happen. But when you're churning through the uncommon and rare the likelihood of getting two spawn as epic at the same time would increase 🤷‍♂️

[dapper drum]

yeah why we got it one time months ago in mige

even at 3am EST all systems are packed and all arms are flagged

still only getting 1 epic per system

[robust vapor]

Increased doesn't mean guaranteed, plus you don't watch it 24/7; many people in my server have likely never seen it either.

[dapper drum]

its like waiting for the DVD screen saver to hit a corner

[cunning radish]

ive sat in ex space for hours and hours doing them

never once seen 2 in same time on my server

but fair enough

[desert laurel]

does your penumbra also have 3 epics in it?

[cunning radish]

um

[dapper drum]

it was a rare occurrence indeed on my server to have 2 in mige

atm mine only has 1

[cunning radish]

dont know candle there's only one there now

[robust vapor]

Only 1 over here. No other Armadas there 😬

[cunning radish]

lol wow theyre 500 mil

[dapper drum]

last event we had 2 and 2 uncommons now none

lindstrom is the one I'm thinking of had 2 epic 40's

only 1 atm though

penumbra only ever has 1 epic 45

[cunning radish]

whats it take to even kill that

[earnest hornet]

thats the thing, its in a sense random spawns, they dont often spawn more then 1, because normally somone runs the epic armada, BUT if someone is focussin on rares and uncommons and not doing the epic, then yea theres no reason you wont get more then 1 epic spawned

[desert laurel]

gotcha

[dapper drum]

2 runs with proper crew at a 1m avg per stella in a 6 seater

[cunning radish]

oof

[desert laurel]

there's no focusing here at all, it's the middle of the night. There's always 2 in each epic system sans penumbra

[cunning radish]

the 47 guy in my alliance doesnt even have a mil stella

[desert laurel]

they're all up atm

[cunning radish]

his is 960k

[dapper drum]

well each server has its own set of spawn parameters we've known that for along time

when people have to fight over 1 hostile in some systems when other servers have too many hostiles

[desert laurel]

maybe that's the cause of the borg 33 issue I sometimes hear about

[dapper drum]

yeah heard of it in borg systems, worm systems and swarm systems

and some regular low level faction systems like davidul

[cunning radish]

god even with 50 people farming in my server's 33 borg system

theres still enough for everyone

they spawn so fast

[dapper drum]

I love busy borg systems

[cunning radish]

same

[dapper drum]

don't have to hunt just spawn camp

they come in pairs right after each battle

[cunning radish]

it was like that in that worm grind event last week

sit on a node as they spawn

lol

[dapper drum]

its when its dead and you have to chase them

so annoying even with vidar 120 impulse

[cunning radish]

yeah lol

that event was my first taste of 34 bracket level grinding

still got second place

xD

[dapper drum]

but I don't even know anymore, I haven't been into a borg system in months

I've been using the ATA for inerts

[cunning radish]

i dont get enough of them for that

sadly

[dapper drum]

send high enough stats you get 4 days worth of inerts

that includes both charged and active conversion

[cunning radish]

ah ok im always using my ghood officers

i have the golden vidar anyway so not too hard to grind

[dapper drum]

was always near full anyways when I did hunt

and its faster to die off then to recall home

[cunning radish]

lol yeah

[dapper drum]

the skins for the stella and vidar serve no benefit

if it increased cargo that would be useful

[cunning radish]

i love my golden bug

❤️

[desert laurel]

free armada loot

and farm codes faster

[cunning radish]

GOLDEN BUG IS LIFE

SUBMIT TO HER GOLDEN HOLINESS

[dapper drum]

I have leslie so I'm always in more armadas then I'll ever need

I even run doubles on rares

[cunning radish]

ahhhh me too

i love my les

[dapper drum]

and there is no getting codes faster

its 4 hits and full already

and still quicker to die off then to recall

[desert laurel]

aim for 3 hits?

[dapper drum]

still have to go until dead

or waste time warping back to base

[desert laurel]

well, maybe in hour we'll see if that changes

[cunning radish]

what ones are u attacking

to be full in 3-4 hits

[dapper drum]

40s

20k to 25k per hit

So 4-5 hits

[hexed gorge]

So skin + max highway robbery

[dapper drum]

Just seems like 3 as the last dozen are just to die and get back to base and repeat

No skin

Why i said skins are useless

[hexed gorge]

So you've not got the skin?

[dapper drum]

Nope

Not gonna spend 2 days hitting exchange arms

Same reason i don't do FH, reward to effort is abysmal

[hexed gorge]

I ended up getting it over 3 slbs, but I get the pain of the small cargo hold on Stella

[torn crescent]

2 days exchange armadas set me up with enough credits to level Stella 2 back up to scrap again.

[celest cloud]

YMMV. I just did the minimum to place each time, stocks me up on Credits and eventually unlocked the skin.

[dapper drum]

50th place is 500k on my server

Bare minimum for SMS is 12k

[echo pine]

Over stating it somewhat, the stella skin is massively useful for people with weaker stella research still needing credits to buy uranium. It’s not just data codes but also armada loot it increases. The skin isn’t really about higher end players that can easily farm 40’s, it’s about lower end stellas getting more powerful sooner.

Same applies to vidar skin as well but to a lesser extent, as mostly it just saves time per run

[abstract gate]

As a 41 with up to par Stella research I find it very useful still. Loot chests become ever more expensive as your rep progresses so every bit of loot matters

[waxen sedge]

Same for me at ops 42. Extra loot from armadas is never a bad thing and it's a decent extra.

[sonic bobcat]

Stella skin boost the loot from Armada, ofc its useful! But I agree its max cargo need to be doubled for sec codes

[waxen sedge]

Yeah, cargo upgrade would be great.

[weary vapor]

A cloaked ship provides a 66% base chance that your name and alliance data will be completely hidden from your enemy’s Battle Logs - SOOOOO Cloaking can be used to break ROE and attempt to get away with it now right...?

[cunning radish]

yep

[weary vapor]

What idiot thought this would be a good idea?

don't worry i just remembered it was scopely

[uneven peak]

Scopley has nothing to do with RoE

It's not their issue. How servers choose to police their game is up to them.
Sure you can now make out of RoE attacks and maybe get away with it. But it's up to you if you want to take the risk. There's still 1/3 chance that your details will show up on the battle report and you'll then have to deal with the fall out
Risk Vs reward.

[spare galleon]

I don't recall too many Klingon or Romulan ships being able to fire when cloaked

[uneven peak]

I don't recall independent commanders being able to buy ships from the factions 🤷

[weary vapor]

I do there are a few instances actually

[uneven peak]

Do you remember a galaxy full of independents flying the enterprise? This is a game so it can't stick exactly to the lore of the series.

Things have to be tweaked to make it a playable game. If we start poking at the unrealistic feature of being able to fire when cloaked, where do we stop?

An armada with 5 Rikers in it? Slaughtering thousands of Klingon ships with no repurcussions?

[weak copper]

It does. Mining, attacking or docking will make your ship uncloak @tawdry kindle

[uneven peak]

It's not a perma perk. You get tokens to activate it, similar to Borg transwarp cells. You get a certain amount per day and there's a cap.

[elder jasper]

To my knowledge there's only one in the Canon of movies (ST VI: Undiscovered Country)... but TV shows, 🤷‍♂️

[elder jasper]

And it also has a time limit to it... at least attacking drops your cloak

[tardy stag]

What is the cooldown period?

[pale garnet]

It not make any sense unless it a Klingon or Romulan ship...unless special event"get Pegasus bps" think that only fed ship that tryed cloak ability

[uneven peak]

The Defiant had cloaking

[pale garnet]

Oh I forgot that , but then we not have war anymore with all Klingon or Romulan..but fight dominion instead, or the elachi and other quadrant hostiles.

[finite pond]

Need to have ECCM. Gets figured out how to locate a cloak ship.

[wide girder]

means building a new ship tho.

[worn vortex]

No FED Ships with Cloaking !

[edgy gull]

so... why no realta skin? waiting forever

[edgy gull]

maybe if we get defiant

[wide girder]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

everybody who has invested heavily in fed and not cloakable ships atm☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝☝

[edgy gull]

my alliance members were telling me my centurion sucks and I shouldn't max it 😐

[worn vortex]

its only a skin refit for the Old 1701

[dapper drum]

even this is useless, you can only refine every 3 days and just being in a full alliance leaves you with months worth of loot to refine doesn't matter uncommon, rare or epic

if the skin increased its cargo 2x that would have been practical atleast

but 2x the loot on something that wasn't an issue is mute

[torn crescent]

I just want the hot rod paint job. Haven’t spent a dime on it.

[dapper drum]

you aren't locked into only choosing one faction

[abstract gate]

Scrapping maxed cent at 42 so you van get good 4*. So may be t8 and all parts except th cargo bay

[stone grail]

Ah well, they've had the rub of the green up until now

[sonic bobcat]

very narrow minded ofc its useful, you have to grind way less to get what you need, and spend way less to get the dir you need

[quasi token]

https://tenor.com/view/good-good-evil-smile-evil-grin-gif-12457086

[dapper drum]

Its still the same no change

[sonic bobcat]

it is a change because less time need to be invested into a game thats it very time hungry

[dapper drum]

it has no change

still have to blow your ship up to get home faster than warp

still have to carry every arm

when you get full cargo in 4 hits having a skin do it in 2 is nothing

[sonic bobcat]

but you dont need sit it half as many 7 min armada's

[dapper drum]

still have to kill a dozen more after to get home

[dapper drum]

when you are carrying every arm you do

so no change

[sonic bobcat]

and way less time grinding data for extra dir

[dapper drum]

you are missing the point the majority of people that get the skin have no use for it

and grinding data you do for indy creds not directives

thats just a bonus

your ships must really suck 🤷

[sonic bobcat]

pretty much opposite I solo the 35s

[dapper drum]

so you dont' care about being a team player

so selfish gotcha

[tawny elk]

About time there's some balance to the free spock the ent has enjoyed forever 😆 I'd say they'll either add later, or give the feds a special ability to detect cloaks

[dapper drum]

balance is the augur gets massive hull, the d4 gets massive damage

learn to crew

ent is not OP

[tawny elk]

You still get the benefit of a +1 crew

[dapper drum]

no you don't every ship has 3 bridge spots

[tawny elk]

And the ent gets a massive sheild...

[dapper drum]

no it gets a replenish on shields per weapon charge

not per hit

[tawny elk]

But you don't need to waste a crew spot with spock on an ent

[dapper drum]

a D4 same tier as ent will win

you need to learn to crew

instead of whining

D4 needs to be balanced down

an interceptor shouldn't beat an explorer

[tawny elk]

lol, it doesn't if you learn to crew right - idiot

stop whining

[dapper drum]

doesn't matter even best crew, you put marcus on that D4 it loses

ent cannot regenerate enough shield to the damage it takes in

so its not OP

[elder jasper]

Have you seen how well the Saladin does in explorers

[dapper drum]

yeah old school days because people didn't know how to crew their cents

tier to tier cent will win

[sonic bobcat]

I said I can, doesn't mean I make a habit of it, your jumping to conclusions.

[dapper drum]

they were running mixed common crews

and alot also didn't read up about ship abilities and attacking a saladin gave a nice chunk of extra shield

[light jolt]

Does attacking hostiles disable your cloak?

Or just attacking other players?

[uncut bridge]

@everyone

Commanders,

Check out on the latest on Ship Cloaking here: https://www.startrekfleetcommand.com/ship-cloaking/ arrow_backward

[sonic bobcat]

Lorca, Killy Khann works well vs Ent still, often kill higher power Ent with D4

[dapper drum]

and have to get creative with crews when facing a D4 using gorkon khan marcus

if they have tier 5 marcus even using max synergy on 5 won't do anything

I've seen tier 6 D4's tear up tier 9 jellies its hilarious

but no the enterprise is OP 😂

[weak copper]

Can smash max Ents with a T6 Augur which most people seem to think is crap. Research and crew matter. Ent isn’t that OP

[celest cloud]

Putting TOS Uhura as captain with synergy is hardly needing to get creative...

[dapper drum]

thats a new addition

the ent been around alot longer

and marcus

5 was also a big one for the whales when it came out

they loved running around with 5 marcus khan on their D4 killing everything in sight

[celest cloud]

But put your T6 Augur against a max Ent using a decently ranked Charvanek on deck and you may well find a different outcome.

It only makes sense to compare ships that are both well crewed.

[weak copper]

100%. But so many people have no idea how to crew properly

[dapper drum]

yep if both ships are well crewed its going to come down to tech and or ops level

I reserve ToS Kirk and ToS Uhura with Kelvin Spock for my augur in those cases

[celest cloud]

And crew stats and ranks.

[dapper drum]

Ent ship ability granted is more passive than D4 or Augur, but each ship has a purpose and there is no advantage over the other

Augur and D4 you need longer battles to get a benefit

but they have better stats as ships

[celest cloud]

The ship abilities are not as impressive as the Ents, especially not the D4 (worst of all 3 in my opinion), and especially given the way Gorkon triggers. Different story if you have a high rank Lorca, perhaps.

Granted the ship stats are better, though, but I don't find it accurate to say there is no advantage over the other ships... try beating a D4 with an Augur.

[hallow ember]

The 7 day chest is not awarding any new tokens for the 30 day chest.

I pulled one to test it.

[dapper moss]

#⭐-official-announcements message

[hallow ember]

Yeah, didnt see that little italic part

[tidal storm]

Really ?

[robust vapor]

Did you already purchase three of them?

[errant blade]

Deepspace latinum node rates reduced?

[sage basalt]

You cannot allow cloaked ships to attack whilst cloaked and give them a bonus for doing so. It will ruin the whole game. There will be no way to defend against them. Star Trek never allows cloaked ships to aattack because the cloak uses up too much energy.

[icy sapphire]

Why does the cloak unlock go by rarity instead of lv? So it is more difficult to cloak a D4 than a valdore or pilum? Doesn’t make much sense 😖

[floral trail]

Photon tokens will be live after event reset

[supple veldt]

jeez, this Skin Event is kinda like "what if there's war and nobody shows" ... the respawn rate sucks big time

[keen mist]

I know right? Nobody will build a fed ship now, lol.

[uneven peak]

The Sally and ent are still good ships, and you can only cloak a limited number of times, with cool down.

[vital drum]

It is what it is, the Fed ships are OP so nice to have advantage for the others. The attack bonus probably works off base so likely isn't much, it's just a fun gimmick is all! Good for scouting I expect, in Territory. It won't work for the Vidar which is probably a good thing 😃

[bitter snow]

140% is not a huge difference, maybe if the fights are close, but still.
Also, have you considered what use cloaking will be put towards? It has a cool down after dropping, and is limited by tetrion availability/costs

[indigo perch]

Fed ships are correctly powered, this is a fed centric game. You finally got your rom/kling arc so please stop whining about it. STAR TREK IS A FEDERATION focused franchise. Get over it!

[ashen wharf]

colby sounds salty

[quasi token]

Think the cloak will work nicely to scout opc in tc and then send your Vidar to collect.

[bitter snow]

Have to do it fast though, the vid I've seen had a 3min timer on the cloak

That's what? 2-3 systems, 4 at the outside if they aren't too busy?

tempting to build more Vidar now, though...

Hop a cheap cloaky around systems, using it to get point perfect arrivals with a vidar swarm 🙂

[vital drum]

Lol

I am very excited for this arc I was going to give it a miss but I probably won't now. It looks like a lot of effort and ideas have gone into it, and I am Romulan-centric now though I started out as one of the few Klingons on my server.

I'm gonna hunt down Federation ships only to annoy Colby

Bam! Bam! Bam! Oh no you didn't see me I had a cloak 🤣

[dapper moss]

interesting if the boost damage remain during an armada

[indigo perch]

Even if you could re cloak between shots, triangulation would be in effect after the first shot. It's how the enterprise overcame cloaked ships in combat. Advantage to cloaked ship at the beginning of combat, no doubt. But after that, you must deal with the tactical superiority of the enterprise captains. This is the continuing star trek theme. They even beat Q, so what is a cloaked tribune to them but yet another challenge to overcome....🤣

[wind fog]

3 minute timer on cloak? Is it suspended during warp? The notes seem to imply that.

[indigo perch]

For real tho, grats to the antagonists. The protagonists ists will respond.....

[bitter snow]

Weird position given that all three factions love me

Gonna get a cloak for the D4, because I can, and probably never use it, like the exocomps 😂

Still going to be using the ent for armadas 90% of the time 😐

[indigo perch]

Those are story telling terms. The hero of the story is the protagonist, the villan is the antagonist.

[bitter snow]

We're all the protagonist in our own story

[quasi token]

You saw the post that the free cloak is for Level 26 ships. So higher will be paid. 😑

[bitter snow]

Technically, the antagonists are just whoever we're shooting for dailies 🙂

[bitter snow]

I saw that shortly after, yeah 😐

I scrapped all mine!

[quasi token]

I still have mine but they will be scrapped soon for Ops 42.

[bitter snow]

I'll be speed building a D3 at some point for the events I guess

[quasi token]

Oh well maybe it’ll be in the event store later 🤷‍♂️

[bitter snow]

Next year then 😂

[floral trail]

Still maxing my D3, have all the upgrades just need to farm the xp for it

[fresh peak]

All ship cloaks will eventually be in the faction stores (rolled out slowly) over this arc (starting in part 2) - as well as in the event store in the end of the arc

[floral trail]

But I need to scrap it for the primes

[cunning radish]

Oh cool

[bitter snow]

Part 2 = November?

[quasi token]

Thanks for the info😬

[bitter snow]

Old Man's notifications lighting up like christmas right now...

[dapper drum]

his notifications are always on fire

poor guy got into the wrong publisher

[fickle meadow]

No q&a this month? @rough mulch

[paper venture]

So the new chest token is it working yet? I don’t see any token towards 30 listed in 7 day chest.

[dapper drum]

it was removed because too many people kept asking stupid questions

[uneven peak]

Not yet

[fresh peak]

yes

[paper venture]

So after patch every time game loads shows I have new battlelogs and they are old ones.

[abstract gate]

How do I activate the cloak? It needs first the refit skin before any activation isn't it?

[abstract gate]

It will show up after the event refresh today

[raven aurora]

so how much of a cooldown on the 7-day chest are we going to have?

[broken dust]

Is new arc rolling out today or is today going to be a buffer event? Meaning battlepass actually starts tomorrow

[fresh peak]

Correct. you need the cloaking refit for that ship and then you can activate it using tetryons

[fresh peak]

rolling out today! APAC and EU should have it now. US next

[fresh peak]

you mean the loyalty chest?

[raven aurora]

yes

[fresh peak]

Not sure.. will check.

[fading ivy]

Also how come I cannot buy the cloak pack for ops26 ships Legionary and D3?

[broken dust]

I’m sitting on 6 months of mats meant for an auction…how hosed am I for saving them with auction format changing😂. (Hashtag notaskingforafriend)

[desert laurel]

changing to what?

[broken dust]

Officer auction. Not sure changing to what. Completely basing my premise off of ultimate DJs podcast. Auction format currently a pure mat spend

[earnest hornet]

cos you'll get one in the battle pass, and you can eventually get them for credits

[floral trail]

Cloak is only for the Premium BP

[earnest hornet]

😛

[floral trail]

Though I am told they will add the cloak refits to the faction store, presumably at the same time that they add Borg Jaylah to the transporter pattern store

[fresh peak]

Starting part 2 (next month) the 26s will be there and then the other ones will be added after that as well in this arc

[visual sparrow]

Event started, still no photon tokens 😞

[nimble gulch]

@visual sparrow read scopely's announcement regarding the tokens

[pale steppe]

Anyone else have a problem receiving goods when redeeming last of TNG event Store credits?

[visual sparrow]

?

[nimble gulch]

@visual sparrow @everyone

all servers are now online! partying_face partying_face Don’t forget to update your game from the store.
Please note that the Photon Tokens won't be available until new events start!

[earnest hornet]

#⭐-official-announcements dude, it says

[gusty pulsar]

it starts in a hour KAren sit down

[worthy gull]

cultivated mycelium removed from the event store?

[sudden ledge]

lol they dropped battlepass early

[novel rune]

I'd assume the cooldown will remain the same as the current cooldown...you can redeem two (time periods) worth in one (time period), so 14 days worth every 7 days, 60 days worth every 30 days.

[hearty cairn]

event hasn't started yet. it always starts at reset time. not before.

[ancient meadow]

I updated rebooted etc and I still cannot see the photon tokens. Do I need to wait until reset?

[hearty cairn]

yes

[novel rune]

One reset or the next, yes. Event or daily, they're unsure which.

[hearty cairn]

event reset

[floral trail]

yes.. I have a couple to claim

[novel rune]

So far.

[hearty cairn]

"Please note that the Photon Tokens won't be available until new events start!" In offical announcements.

[novel rune]

Understood, but someone asked Old Man the specifics and he wasn't sure.

[raven aurora]

yep... was just wondering if they were going to change them around

i also...have some to claim...err

[hearty cairn]

yeah well old folk have memory issues. 😆

[lapis harbor]

I’m gonna wait and see how this goes but I can see this new cloaking tech possibly driving a lot of players away from the game

[novel rune]

Much as I enjoy taking Scopely announcements as their literal interpretations because I love comedy, it could be that 'the system' does get implemented at event roll but the effects don't get seen until daily roll.

[floral trail]

How so? No more of a cash grab than the usual

[novel rune]

43 minutes until we find out, anyway.

[novel rune]

It's not the cash grab aspect, it's the 'someone is going to abuse it and get away scot free' anonymous aspect of the system...as it was designed.

[lapis harbor]

F2p players already get the stuffing kicked out of them by larger players now they aren’t even gonna see them coming or possibly who hit them. I don’t see this going over well sounds good like the idea of cloaking we’ll see how it goes

[novel rune]

Everything that changes about PvP in this game takes away smart play and rewards aggressors.

[floral trail]

I guess it depends on the server, really though I see it making no difference, we still get a few idiots who run rampage with their uberships mk4, so ubership mk5 will just be another way to rampage more

[novel rune]

"Watch your nodes." Well, now we can't.

[gilded berry]

I'm level 39 and the last elite battlepass reward unlocks g4 skin for ent a, not regular ent

Do 38s and below get the skin unlock for regular ent?

[floral trail]

OG ent is a reward in the free track mid way through the arc

[novel rune]

Hope you enjoyed your couple of months of Meridian use...it'll never see any use again because you can't watch over it anymore.

[gilded berry]

Thank you! I was trying to suppress rage until I got an answer

[floral trail]

I never use it anyway, I just mine in my Botany Bay as it has a large protected

My Vidar is also good at 'mining' since it has a large hold

[novel rune]

The one bright spot is that the Vi'Dar is not considered a Romulan ship.

[floral trail]

Ha true, no cloak

I really see OPC hits a bit lame anyway, I mean G3 I have more ore than I am able to refine, and iso is just easier to steal than mine, I dont get why I would bother to mine it in the first place. I agree though the Meridian is pretty useless with such low PC

[novel rune]

Well...if nobody's mining it, it becomes impossible to steal.

[errant blade]

Mycelium removed from event store again?

[novel rune]

Didn't Mycelium have a different cooldown for the event store because it was added off-schedule?

[errant blade]

I didn’t notice but I can’t buy it now

[novel rune]

I mean, they got it close, but they weren't going to make it go beyond the drop-dead date. Sorry you missed it.

[errant blade]

Shouldn’t they just have made it the same as everything else in the event store?

[novel rune]

Ideally, yes.

[errant blade]

That would just be common sense

[novel rune]

And there's the problem.

[errant blade]

Mathed it for a perfect spend

And now I need to recalculate

Zzz

[floral trail]

Only the refits

[glacial mauve]

Scopely why is this junk in the elite battlepass?

I had 900k worth last week

[abstract gate]

does anybody know how to "Acquie Cloak" for the Dissapearing Act SMS?

[carmine reef]

dose anyone have enterprise d skin for lvl 34 epic enterprise in the battle pass?

[abstract gate]

is that the only way?

[carmine reef]

I only have enterprise d skin for enterprise A

[thin pagoda]

Can you even be involved with the cloaking aspect with no faction ships?

[dire zinc]

No Battle Pass points packs this time around Scopely???

[oblique arrow]

Anyone else having the issue that the “Act of war” event wants you to take the Romulan side and kill Klingons without even giving you the option to choose? I am -2 Mio rep with Romulans and +5 Mio with Klingons. Why would I go and kill Klingons for the quest???

My gift simply had that romulan war pact token and that’s it. No choice. Nothing

[cunning radish]

Read the event

Read. Read it. Read

R. E. A. D.

[oblique arrow]

Haaaaah. I have become that which I despise 😑 can I simply delete my (stupid) question?

Thanks in any case - the quest description answered my question

[raw owl]

I think the question is "why did I get auto sided with Klingons or Romulans?" Yes, there are ways to score points without damaging your reputation with a faction.

[scenic folio]

I think attacking drops the cloak. Many times in Trek, a sudden ambush from a cloaked ship is highly effective.

[neat barn]

just under 1 mil to lock romulans, better squeeze that in really quick before this arc really takes off

[drifting bridge]

4 events? New normal or a glitch? 🧐

[thin pagoda]

Yeah no answer. Seems i don’t get to play this event. Why do events everyone can’t participate in?

[rapid axle]

I am not one to normally complain, but I will this once. Considering the issues with the last few Arcs and anything that was arc related prior to 9 AM PT (12 noon ET). I have taken to waiting a few minutes to claim chests and other items that are new to an arc. With the cool down timer being 24 hours for the Duality chest people like me that are now become gun shy and cautious are getting the short end cause of Scopely on this one. I mean a 22 hour cool would have worked just as well to ensure 3 pulls for the Worf and 4 of 10 shards.

Sorry had to vent for once.

[errant blade]

Any event calendar for this arc?

[thin pagoda]

Might’ve skipped the $100 if I knew I needed a faction ship.

[glossy vault]

is this event brok3n. it states we get points for killing these.. yet I am accrue no points

[glacial mauve]

you need to hunt romulan ship (in klingon space)

[formal birch]

for what we have that ,,romulan ,, ticket?

[glossy vault]

? it states hunt these im confused

oh.. i figured it out

[meager galleon]

Havnt explored the new systems - but High Council sounds like Klingons not Roms

[glossy vault]

why don't they have these systems with links?! 😅🖖🏾

[cedar plinth]

So cloak isn't in battle pass like they said and the event is paid only??

[glossy vault]

i think the script is misleading

[meager galleon]

What’s misleading? We’re you killing Klingons and it says Hunt Romulans?

@cedar plinth It’s in the paid BattlePass I think

I think this Token gives you cloak for a lvl 26 ship

[glossy vault]

i was killing romulan skirmish guys, which it states to do, but then all the system it list are in kling space
which is why i was confused bc i saw the rom ones, and imagining theyd be there. with no links to the systems i guess i just misunderstood.. 😅

[cedar plinth]

Thanks...

[glossy vault]

I was totally in the wrong place. idk why they put these skirmishers or whatever in enemy spaces it's odd. the 40s are too weak I want to kill 50s and there's a warp lock.. that should not be there imo, as these systems are nowhere near deep space, and there's really no good reason..

[ocean raven]

Hopefully before this 4 day event is up

[main spindle]

Figures scopely would give us a event to use cloaking device but no way for free to play players to do it yet again a event centered around whales

Way to go

How about giving f2p people a way to unlock the refits i still don't have a ship skin for the reason u all keep putting it in a slb event wich when ur going up against whales u have no chance in getting any reward

[pastel topaz]

Were we supposed to be able to choose Klingons or Romulans? Because it automatically chose Klingons for me and I'd have much rather have had Romulans...

[wind fog]

Doesn’t matter, no rep lost/gained when killing them. You have to go to specific systems.

[pastel topaz]

It does matter when you want Romulan credits not Klingon credits...

[desert laurel]

I didn't get to choose, and am getting the wrong credits as well. Maybe it'll run again and give me the other faction in a few days

[oblique arrow]

Same for me. Romulans hate me, but the game decided I want to help the romulans nonetheless

[quasi token]

Event calendar still on its way?

[fresh peak]

In order to keep the two sides even we split players randomly to either one.
However, that's why new hostiles appeared that don't lose you rep when attacking them.

[fresh peak]

yes

[pastel topaz]

I'm locked with all 3. I didn't care about rep, I cared about the credits, since I want Rom creds.

[junior jewel]

Anyone knows where can we redeem the Ship cloak token and what does it give us?

[oblique arrow]

Kaution wrote an hour ago that the token gives you a cloaking device for a lvl 26 ship...so D3 or Legionary

[oblique arrow]

I kinda get it since I get the "wrong" credits as well...but it is free stuff. Why complain about free stuff? ^^

[pastel topaz]

Because I have a stupidly high amount of Klingon credits already?

[round ivy]

Am I gonna be screwed on some events this month because I only have federation ships? I can't cloak so won't be able to do those events.

[simple spear]

Well. Yes

[knotty niche]

So this event is pay to win, you must buy a cloak . Correct ?

[junior jewel]

yes

[smoky flax]

Came here to ask this.

[ember walrus]

Pay to play

[knotty niche]

Thank you for correcting my error .. yes pay to play ... $150 bucks.

[waxen sedge]

You can complete it with just a $50 level 28 cloak

[bitter snow]

Or wait out this one event, get ms 8 in time for the next run and do it that way

And unlock the cloaks we "want" next month

When it arrives in faction store

[coarse tartan]

Just a 50 😂🤣

[ashen wharf]

Just fyi you wont be able to buy them in faction store as it will be too expensive

Take with grain of salt

[coarse tartan]

How expensive? You already know?

[ashen wharf]

if every other skin that has released and no way of earning dont expect anything
