jfc

you do not represent the majority

i never said everyone couldnt do it

[celest cloud]

"Improbable" does not mean affecting the majority. It's a dumb event that should burn in a fire, but let's be precise with words. Anyone could have done what I did had they realised Scopely would be Scopely. They just shouldn't have to 🙂

[random tide]

youre nitpicking words

you quoted where i said even those that did the premium couldnt do it. i didnt say EVERYONE couldnt. i said even people who already had it were unable to do it

and improbable still works when such a small amount of people can do it. it means not likely. as in people are not likely to complete it. there are those that will becuase they checked off a significant amount of the ifs i stated

you cant do it with the big ships. it has to be done with the little ships

the claim amount varies with ops

if you accidentally click on a node instead of a hostile, you dont get your extra 10 points

theres alot of ifs in there that all pile onto having to have saved well past max

so yeah, its improbable that the players will be able to do it, but there are people who will because those people checked off every box they needed

[fresh badger]

Another week till next battle pass? What do you think?

[eager hollow]

Apex and cow?

I need some research medals

[wild mountain]

"To play this game properly, we would like to remind you that you are not supposed to play the game."

[unkempt pecan]

You wish @eager hollow

[abstract gate]

Anyone couldn’t though. If by some fluke you ended up with the wrong number of cloaking tokens the day before the day before you needed to prepare, it was too late. You would not have the tokens and the pulls.

[abstract gate]

Someone on our server did that the other way around in an unrelated incident.

Ouch.

[celest cloud]

This is true, I stand corrected.

In the case that you had exactly 200 or 225 Tetryon when you reach the point of no return circa 20h before the event started then yes it was not possible.

If you had any other balance that was 180+ (180-195, 205-220, 230+) you could - with planning - complete. Assuming you can do all the other ridiculous things needed to complete, of course.

[abstract gate]

Two days of not using your cloak so you can spend a day not using your cloak for what you want it for so you can spend a few days building your reserves back up again so you can use you cloak.

https://tenor.com/view/oscars-standing-ovation-clap-clapping-applause-gif-20292436

At least with the Borg stuff they have the decency to throw the tokens you should need at you.

[celest cloud]

Well... to be fair, I can't envisage ever using my D3's cloak for anything real. It would have been perhaps useful 15 ops levels ago for me.

It may also be more than 2 days of not using it - it took me 4 days to fill the reserves after the last Disappearing Act event...

[abstract gate]

I bought the Augur cloak, which I’ve not used specifically to fill up to be able to do this event; unfortunately using it once in the time leading up to the event meant that my refill was full but not over 245, so I can’t complete the event.

[random tide]

Just one of my many ifs I stated that would ensure you either could or couldn't do the event.

[bitter snow]

I used it to scout out a takeover for OPC yesterday, then flew my vidar in and out with accuracy to the right system edge 😄

[bitter snow]

And for these events, using the more expensive cloaks is actively harmful to scoring 😦

[abstract gate]

I use it for cloaking Augur to go and smash Baitridians up 😂

They watch them so they can laugh at the Vi’dar and warp away from G3 Epics. Now they have no peace 😈

[bitter snow]

They need to change the scoring so it's cloaking per ship type or tier, rather than thingys spent

[quiet patio]

Good morning everyone. This jellyfish refit coming today… is it the constellation or something new?

[desert laurel]

I'd rather have an additional pvp scoring mechanic multiplier. Cloaking makes way more sense to be used rather than hoarded for events, and that multiplier can be scaled to allow completion with what is granted daily. And as it would encourage pvp, make repair/spite money for scopely so everybody wins.

[eager hollow]

@quiet patio probably just the same skin which is very interesting for those with skin tracker shards remaining

[desert laurel]

constellation is specifically noted in the in-game news

[bitter snow]

Think the news article actually mentions the constellation

[bitter snow]

Wouldn't get your hopes up on that one 😂

[desert laurel]

though it still uses the word "new" to describe the refit offer so we won't know for sure until it's in

[quiet patio]

Yeah, they say “all new refit” and “constellation”, so I’m unsure.

[celest cloud]

Unless I am misremembering, the ISS Jellyfish refit wasn't available with ship skin trackers, only the G3 ships.

[eager hollow]

Not me but at least two alliance mates still have those shards because they didn't apply them in time, but they have jellies each so maybe...

[desert laurel]

only a few hours to find out, nbd. Rush to 38 if you want it

[eager hollow]

@celest cloud tracker shards were different for G3 and jellies?

@desert laurel ops 40 now but thanks

Whilst we have a few 40 plus on is it worth pushing to ops 41 or pushing jelly to tier 4. ?

[celest cloud]

The ISS refit was an Epic skin, the G3 ones were rares.

[celest cloud]

It's a matter of personal preference, but I have held off upgrading my ISS until I complete Ops 42 - the R&D at Ops 40 and 41 use a lot of common gas, which can be a bottleneck for many.

[dapper drum]

you meaning getting 33 to 66 avg per day from refinery isn't enough

[eager hollow]

@celest cloud thanks I didn't realise the difference between epic and rares

I can go from a brand new jelly to tier 4 or ops 41 but probably not both due to commons, mayflower waiting for an auction to max.

Maybe the difference is quantity so maybe skin trackers would apply?

[celest cloud]

IIRC they were offered directly via an auction SLB, but I did not have an ISS at the time they came out so can't be sure.

I don't recall seeing an option to trade in for ISS refits at the time, though.

[eager hollow]

I was in same position but we will see soon

Anyone got knowledge on those epic service medals, is there a guide as to what makes them appear, apart from pay store and ops 40 plus? Shuttle bay level or something else?

[celest cloud]

I wholly expect today's event will be an SLB, so I won't be taking part 😦

[celest cloud]

Epic Service Medals need Epic ATAs, i.e. Ops 39 and Shuttlebay 35, plus doing the research to open them.

[eager hollow]

@celest cloud yeah slb with alliance domination thrown in

[celest cloud]

And in addition, the missions don't spawn until you hit Ops 40.

[eager hollow]

Yup got that and still nothing, only been ops 40 a week though

[celest cloud]

They are not common missions, I have had them about 5 or 6 times in total.

[eager hollow]

Ffs okay cheers, just praying to rng Jesus again

[celest cloud]

Good thing is they have a pretty good crit rate (30%) and pay out quite a few medal as base - I get around 240 when it triggers

Frustrating when you miss the crit though, you get nothing interesting 😦

[eager hollow]

240 would get me at least 8 research so that is decent

[ripe jungle]

Hm where does it say it’s an slb?

[celest cloud]

It doesn't, but I suspect it will be...

[ripe jungle]

Because it’s two day?

I gotta decide whether to do the limited time research event or save up for the domination event 😂

[celest cloud]

Because it is described as "all new", and because the original one was SLB. I hope I am wrong, mind.

[ripe jungle]

The ones during the arc were sms

But two 24h sms not one 48h

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/no-no-no-way-never-nuh-uh-gif-14500720

Scopely wont put Jelly skin on SMS.

[ripe jungle]

What jelly skin?

[abstract gate]

Even if they came down with a sudden and terminal case of generosity.

[ripe jungle]

I thought we were talking about “display of dominance” not jelly auction?

[abstract gate]

They talking about the Constellation event.

[ripe jungle]

Hm but alliance domination has nothing to do with that, no?

[abstract gate]

That’s why they said it will be an SLB with alliance domination tacked on the side

[eager hollow]

@abstract gate yup that's what I think

Depends on alliance domination event rewards to see if it's worth pushing for both at same time

[ionic wren]

Jelly skin is good stuff?

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/work-screw-it-vacation-so-done-finished-gif-7733926

[south arrow]

What a shit response

[abstract ice]

Yeah, they blew this one. Really thought they would fix it. Big chunk of ill will for no good reason.

[hardy parcel]

roughly translates as;

y'all a bunch of cheapskates - how dare you want to complete an event without paying. set stuffed commander.

[undone ruin]

That’s super lame

[rich coral]

An extra tetryon 'gift' would have gone a long way, especially if Scopely had interest in continuing the quality increase from the last arc that players were liking.

Except for the Enterprise D skin. That should have never seen the light of day.

[abstract gate]

That’s great.

It helps us work out who to star out of armadas.

[neon badge]

Seriously? With maxed tetreons + daily still not enough to finish the event? FU scopely

P2w sms? That's low even for you

[keen citrus]

I managed 455 pts 😳

[neon badge]

I had the max you can store and did the event in the first hour to get the chest again after the 23 hour cool down this morning... Still not enough

So max in storage + 2 pulls gets you 490 and thats with hostile kill bonuses

[keen citrus]

I only got the one pull, timing was bad

[hardy parcel]

See scopely comments above

[neon badge]

What's the timestamp above?

[abstract gate]

Oh no you didn’t.

Some smug throbber will be along to tell you how you needed to use your cloak just right three days ago so you had just the right amount to have enough to score all the points.

[hardy parcel]

In an unlikely set of circumstances it was possible.

But by admission it was designed to only be completed if you bought a pack

[neon badge]

First one was 48

Thats totally doable, still not easy but doable

[sour plaza]

Yup I'm the same, got all the refreshes right and going to be short. Unless you buy a pack every time you can't complete it, belter from scopely

[neat fern]

I won’t say it but your right

[fierce cosmos]

4 of 10 in 3 day alliance leaderboard? Didn't you just give away a bunch of shards? Should have been worf or something... and an unannounced auction for Picard/Weasly

[weary vapor]

Well it's an auction event - that's pretty much screwed 99% of players over who won't be getting the refit as they hoped for

Severely disappointed since I spent so much resources in the arc is an understatement

[slim solar]

and they havent even given you a milestone so you get it over time

Its been what, almost a year since it came out, and the only way to get it has been via auctions

[weary vapor]

Can we all agree that we fekin hate auctions

Like...just stop it

[slim solar]

7 months, since it came out, only way to get it has been to my knowledge 4 auctions

at least they havent put out a 100 quid pack to just buy the skin

[brave chasm]

At least top 100 get some reward

[hardy parcel]

Did we actually expect anything else?

[slim solar]

i hoped there would be a way to get it over time w/o the need for a leaderboard. Im not saying a full unlock in a month. But even if it was a milestone that gave 60 or 40 shards there is a way without me spending thousands to get it. Unless they put it in the event store i dont have a shot at it

[floral trail]

Yay auction event, just what no one wants

[floral trail]

Would be cheaper

[vital gyro]

i have a new event guide up for the wesley and picard one guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL3WbzUAEok

[viral sail]

I wish I could participate in the skin auction 😦

I have the materials to spend, but not the event

It's only for 38+

[abstract gate]

Have you seen how much the Augur skin costs?

[slim solar]

150 no

[abstract gate]

Times four.

[slim solar]

Nah, wasnt it 50 for 1/3 of it

[abstract gate]

Four packs at £100 to get the Augur skin.

[slim solar]

No, thats cloaking

[abstract gate]

What is?

[slim solar]

150

[abstract gate]

Yup.

Cloaking was £135

3x £45 packs.

[slim solar]

Yeh, skin is a bit more

Still not worth it

[abstract gate]

With the new pricing the Augur skin is 4x £90 packs.

[slim solar]

jelly would be similar id say, i dunno, im just happy it aint there

[abstract gate]

Jelly is an epic skin

For a G4 ship.

My money would be on 6x £90 packs as a minimum.

Well, no.

My money would be staying firmly in my bank 🤣

[slim solar]

Tbh im surprised they havent put it in with where you can buy it for 800

[sullen garden]

Anyone know when the ISS Jellyfish event will happen again?

[abstract gate]

I’m wrong

They’ve update it.

It used to be 20 shards for £90

[frigid glacier]

I have a question. Why did they bother to add areas for grinding out factions during events, where you don't want to lose rep, and then the ships don't count during new events. Seems like a waste.

[abstract gate]

It’s now full unlock for me for £90

[abstract gate]

Are you in the wrong side?

Cos they definitely score for me.

[frigid glacier]

I tried to kill romulans, and they did not count for the event.

[sullen garden]

The new event areas in rom and Klingon space hostiles count for no faction hits

[hardy parcel]

Yeah, I do the romulan kills there

[frigid glacier]

didn't seem to work for me, on the PC. I'll check from my tablet, maybe there's something odd happening.

[abstract gate]

Remember the Romulans are in red space 😂

[frigid glacier]

Actually, that could very well be, I'm just not paying attention. 😛

[cold horizon]

Scraply ingame ‘support’ again has shown the bar can be set even lower than they repeatedly done before. They excel at not answering question and reply’s with empty blahblah, falsly promising a lot.
It wiuld be laughable if it wasnt so pathetic

[grand belfry]

59?!?!

So 1 shard less than half.. that is low, even for $copley

[abstract gate]

Yep, pretty harsh.

Will be scoring and placing by accident.

Not through concerted effort.

[random tide]

@abstract gate same. I plan to place 31-40 and get 5 shards 🤣

Purely based on the fact theres probably not 40 players between 40 and 42 on my server 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[lost abyss]

They really must not have made their sales quota last arc or two, doubling up on Picard and jelly skin auction will definitely open some pocketbooks.

[fierce jewel]

Does this jelly skin auction come around often or is it like every 3-6 months

[desert laurel]

it has been the latter, but they might be finally moving toward a greater acquisition phase

[random tide]

@fierce jewel last one was 8 to 9 months ago. This is only the second auction for it ever

[fierce jewel]

Oh my 👀.. ok thanks @random tide

[waxen sedge]

Hard to say, unless I am mistaken this is the first time it has run since the arc it was introduced in, which was back in March.

[weary vapor]

Which is an absolute joke tbh

Make it every month and np at all about that, otherwise a 6monthly auction is pathetic

Even qrtly would be rubbish

When you consider how many people actually need it

[elder gyro]

I think this is actually the 4th time

[random tide]

might be 3rd. maybe. but i dont think 4th

but point is, it has been a very long time

[elder gyro]

I won the first one my teammate got sec then it happened again and he won it

[potent lichen]

Watch all this spending on the skin event and jelly auction drops tomorroq

Be kinda funny and messed up

[molten fractal]

Does anyone @here have a clue when the next ISS Jelly event might be??
I have a player dying to dump mats for it

[hardy parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-husky-soon-gif-7801078

[desert laurel]

we'll probably get a schedule of events shortly after tuesday

[earnest hornet]

Maybe

[small ridge]

Do the BP rewards change between ops32 and ops33?

[cunning radish]

nope

oh bp

maybe slightly i forget. not much if they do

[bitter snow]

Usually only at even levels

[small ridge]

Thanks. Just went to 32 and was contemplating going right to 33 if rewards were better.

[bitter snow]

Tbh, no reason not to go to 33 over 32

Just for opening up extra researches

[small ridge]

Yeah I'm heading there anyways, just needed to see if there was a reason to do it in the next couple days.

[fathom shuttle]

Nobody really needs it. 🤷‍♂️

[abstract gate]

How is that build of Franklin A takes 66 days and the build of Corvus is just 17? What's this logic?

[fathom shuttle]

They wanted to make it less easy to get the Frank a within the battlepass it was released in.

[wintry tundra]

Research and buildings. Base build time of Corvus is 150 days and Frank A is 165 days.

[floral trail]

They just want to force people to spend dollar

[hexed gorge]

If you where around when the Frank a was released, they gave out a speed up chest to help with the Frank a build time due to the backlash

[hearty timber]

But only ops level 35+ players. Everyone else got about 3d speed ups in the gift chest 😕

[ripe jungle]

I regularly end up accumulating a month of speedups for the arc officer events without even really trying. 60 days at ops 35 should really be no problem if you plan ahead 2-3 weeks.

[barren shale]

Are we scheduled to have 2 weeks off between Battlepass events this time around?

[formal birch]

somethign telling me yes they ll move next bp or9th 😄

[cunning radish]

I have like 400 days worth at ops 35

Not hard to get at all

[alpine snow]

They didn't fix the borg scoring mechanic. So everyone will be doing 33s again. I prefer 31s for a full cargo but not this many kills

[cunning radish]

Many can fill on 33s

Or nearly fill

Likely not lower ops tho

[mental yoke]

It’s more the putting nearly an entire server into one system that really stinks.

[cunning radish]

Ah true but they spawn quick st least

[vital gyro]

any way for a lvl 20 to do this borg event? lowest probes seem to be 1.4mil power, unless im missing something, also need transwarp cells?

[cunning radish]

You need Vidar

[ripe jungle]

If you’re lvl 20 you shouldn’t have the borg event? Should be regular hostiles for you

[alpine snow]

Yes it's already just spawns on 33s and yes I'm lower ops, so it makes now sense to have everyone in 1 system

[vital gyro]

thanks, didn't read the fine print, you're right

[mental yoke]

And having a leaderboard means that people will just be camping the spawn pints the entire event rather just finishing the sms and moving on.

[meager zinc]

Why can”t they just add more level 33+ systems. It’s not like we’ve been asking for a year or anything…..

[vital gyro]

vidar is in cosmic event store and this borg event store, can you buy a full vidar worth of BPs from each store, or can you only buy a certain amount of bp per store?

[supple galleon]

I am sick of armada events ! Scopely not getting money from me !

[abstract gate]

You should be getting enough uncommons to do them for nowt?

[calm belfry]

Why are we limited to only 15 Infinitus Refit shards?

[dry flicker]

because scopely wants more $$$$

[calm belfry]

Yea and I bought the Borg War Funds - Elite

You're telling me i gotta wait for 3 more Borg events like this?

[astral forum]

Really? 15 only?

[lost abyss]

Any time an event store has offered special blueprints or skins there have been limits like that.

[astral forum]

😂

[calm belfry]

yo lol

feels bad man

I just started and I have to wait for 3 more Borg events now

[lost abyss]

So, about a year

[abstract gate]

😬

[meager spindle]

Stop complaining, you’re a home owner already 😂

[astral forum]

When i get skin for Vidar i think that i can do full cargo (with 4of10 406k) without skin, lol

350k atm

[calm belfry]

I want skin now lol

[astral forum]

Yup, me too

[dry flicker]

and you probably need to spend each time!

[astral forum]

Or be at least in top1 alliance

[calm belfry]

at least $200

[abstract gate]

Officers are worth more to me.

[calm belfry]

I bought the Borg War Funds

so

[mental yoke]

Borg funds for skin…armadas event needed for funds…funds needed to buy directives to score in event to get funds…
A self perpetuating loop of disappointment

[calm belfry]

and need 225k borg tokens for 60 shards

[abstract gate]

That last line is a great description for this game.

They should put that on the App Store

[astral forum]

What is the point set limit on those skin parts?

[calm belfry]

The rewards for borg armada event isn't even worth it

Only 12k borg tokens lmao

Also setting a limit to how many borg war funds you can buy at a time

I mean

[astral forum]

• from ALB + 2 more days of event

[abstract gate]

You buy all the tokens you need, realise you can’t spend them on the skin, half the spenders then buy other stuff like officers.

[calm belfry]

Why woulldn't they want my money

[abstract gate]

Then next time round they get more money off you.

[calm belfry]

Well I'm going to save them

[abstract gate]

Good 👍🏻

Many don’t. 😂

[astral forum]

I don't buy anything in this game, max Battle pass

[abstract gate]

Then unless you’ve been saving your tokens for the entire game, you aren’t unlocking it in a single event anyway.

[slim rivet]

Anyone know why there hasn't been an ISS Jellyfish event this month for BPs?

[tawny olive]

Anyone know when the next recruit solo leaderboard will be ?

[tawny olive]

Because they are not a monthly occurring event. It is randomly done by scopely. Probably when they need a spike in revenue

[slim rivet]

They aren't very smart with their decisions. A monthly event would generate more income for them.

[sour jacinth]

Or when the ceo needs to gas up his fleet of yachts and Bugattis

[tawny olive]

Nvm I see the recruit solo board is tomorrow from stfc.ovh

I knew it was getting close, but wasn't sure when it would come

[tawny olive]

Oh they hired some high priced profiteers. they are smarter than you think with their marketing strategies

[desert laurel]

if it was a monthly event it'd be plannable, and that doesn't build fomo because people can just say "oh, it'll be there next month I don't need to worry and can stack more mats for a better shot." Now that you know it's not regular, you'll feel a lot more pressure to go all in on this next run or miss out on your planned progress timeline

[slim rivet]

Or I'll just stop playing a game designed to take my money. Turns out I'm smarter than Scopely...

[slim rivet]

There is zero proof of that so far.

[desert laurel]

maybe they lose you, but they'll make money. A lot of people will break and make a spending spree out of it.

[desert laurel]

That's really how businesses run, they don't need to design their offers around you as a specific individual--the world doesn't revolve around one person. Playing f2p or not at all doesn't really make you smarter than scopely, they're very welcoming of all ranges of players. Play it if you enjoy it, denying yourself because they haven't catered to you seems weird.

[vital drum]

That's why I won't go to Disneyland. If they won't do Star Trek stuff I'm not interested. Too expensive anyway

[sour jacinth]

Disney doesn’t own the Star Trek franchise, yet…

[tawny olive]

Give it some time and they will

[hallow ember]

I'd be more willing accept the limits of shard purchases if this was a regular event like Apex has been between arcs. But this is only the second borg event in a long while, and I think the first one Vidar shards have been available outside a ladder. If we were to get this event say in conjuction with Apex events down the road between arcs it would not be terrible.

And not having the 2 new epic miners in either the Event Store or the borg officer recruit packs is a bit of a foul.

[random tide]

no way would they added 3 one month after her arc or 4 in the week after his.

they will come, but they have 6 month premiums on officers

[crystal lintel]

Question: if I had to choose one to unlock, should I get One or Seven?

[sullen barn]

seven i find is a must for borg probes. one i only use for the protected cargo or to get some synergy.

[stark basin]

Who's participating tomorrow in the special event??

[main spindle]

So when dose the next arc start and what should we expect/ prepare for?

[celest cloud]

It is the second time Infinitus shards have been offered via a Borg Event Store. Still infrequent, mind.

[ripe jungle]

Does 7 work only for probes or also for borgmadas?

[frosty notch]

7 doesnt work for borg armadas

[celest cloud]

As Sonido says, Seven is for probes only, sadly

[ripe jungle]

What’s a good crew for the armadas? 8 captain and then one ship with 9 captain or something like that? Or just use normal armada crews? Don’t have 5.

Or well, some of us have 5 but not all, while everyone has 7, 8, 9.

[cobalt elm]

Question : comes Thuesday the next Event Arc?

[paper herald]

Hey I have a question. Anyone know when the next jelly event is? Or is it different for each server?

[cunning stone]

Well, level 20 DOES have this event, just like we’ve recently had ArmadaAssault events that could only be completed by spending directives (which you can’t do till 23) or sitting in ~40 rare/epic armadas run by alliance members. Technically the event could be completed, but in actuality, not so much.

[ripe jungle]

Isn’t it kill any hostile for you, rather than kill borg tactical probes?

[cunning stone]

Nope. Destroy Borg armadas, spend Borg directives, or Borg tactical probes.

[ripe jungle]

That’s an alliance event

It’s still a bit weird to offer that to lvl 20s though.

[abstract gate]

It’s the alliance event.

[ripe jungle]

That’s what I said?

[abstract gate]

Otherwise the Lv20s would be kingmakers sat in low level systems.

But they can still see (and most importantly get) the rewards

Well, you said it was odd to offer it to the Lv20s

They don’t

It goes to the alliance.

If it went to an alliance full of Lv19s, it would be a little odd - but then you’d need Scopely to code something that worked out if an alliance had people that could participate.

Given how well they did with the Jelly event filter for months I wouldn’t hold my breath there 😂

[ripe jungle]

Huh? They do. Like you can’t get the alliance rewards unless you score in that event, and there’s almost no way for a lvl 20 to score.

[abstract gate]

Almost* but not no.

[ripe jungle]

They would have to send a tiered up kehra to an armada.

[abstract gate]

We make a point of carrying our low levels through one to make sure they score, cos we’re nice like that (and they host 38Rs for us to scoop loot on)

[ripe jungle]

A really low level would find it almost impossible to even get to a 38 rare.

[abstract gate]

Lv23. North Star and Scotty.

[ripe jungle]

“Almost impossible”

[abstract gate]

They have now (after about 9 months 😆) progressed to 25.

Most amusing is watching them grind in Wolf with max Chen just to wind up this psychopath who declared that all 40s were his.

He can’t even hit him to make him stop 😂

[hardy parcel]

🤣🤣

[cunning radish]

LOL

[pale steppe]

How does the alliance earn gummies with no gummy events?

[ripe jungle]

Isn’t it supposed to be faction hunt again today

[abstract gate]

How does one not die of boredom when a handful of swarms and one miner summon completes everything?

Do I gotta talk to the strange woman that sits the other side of the sofa from me?

[calm belfry]

Recruit and assimilate event?

Why shards and officer xp for scoring?

[ripe jungle]

Why not

[calm belfry]

Shards are hard and xp is super easy

Then again guess that was the point

[abstract gate]

So you can buy packs next month when you run out of ultra tokens before realising you are screwed compared to the XP spenders

[calm belfry]

I just tried spending some officer xp and it didn't add to scoring

[ripe jungle]

Lol

[pulsar fossil]

Wasn't there supposed to be another day of hunting factions today?

[ripe jungle]

And they forgot the Halloween events

[calm belfry]

I mean I won my Picard event so im not complaining too bad if xp scoring isn't working

Lol

[ripe jungle]

Nice

[calm belfry]

I have tons of recruit tokens saved up now I don't spend them all at once.

I lied the scoring went through

Lol

[wintry tundra]

Don’t use them. XP wins every time. Somebody on our server went nuts on the daily recruit SLB and isn’t really showing in the Borg recruit event because of the xp scoring.

[calm belfry]

Yea I wouldn't do that to win the borg event but concurrently there is the Recruit SLB. I don't believe I've seen a special event that only uses officer shards. It's usually both shards & xp

[wintry tundra]

There are those too (a couple in the TNG arcs). But mostly centered around the new officers (catering to the spenders).

[hearty cairn]

is there supposed an sms for borg, or just the leaderboards?

[calm belfry]

It doesn't look like it.

I do believe there should always be an SMS going on concurrently that provides some rewards since not everyone will place in SLBs . It would keep players engaged and feels like they can actually still participate in the event some. It's fine as long as milestones aren't ridiculously high.

[calm belfry]

Oh yes! You're right I do remember. You would get extra point for troi & worf shards and extra for promoting them.

[wintry tundra]

Yea. And as a non spender for those packs you should always avoid the first SLB. But went all out on the second. Hoping we get another set of those. Sitting on too many recruit tokens and running out of TP.

[ripe jungle]

This slb gives rewards to top 500 players so I think it’s ok for there to be no sms along with it

[ashen wharf]

"Gives rewards" you mean gives 1 pull of something

[abstract gate]

Out of TP? It’s like the COVID panic buying all over again.

[ashen wharf]

uninflate that mindset lol

[ripe jungle]

Hm? So? The tng officer slb’s gave full unlock while the SMS’s that ran by the side gave what one tenth of the shards needed or something?

[ashen wharf]

you're the one who said rewards dont backpedal now

[ripe jungle]

I’m not backpedaling? They give rewards, and SMS’s that run side by side with slb’s give sucky rewards anyway.

[ashen wharf]

this borg event is just as garbage as every borg event they have ever run

[ripe jungle]

If the whole event is garbage for you why are you even talking about slb vs sms? Just ignore it.

[ashen wharf]

Is what im doing i just will correct false statements when i notice them

[ripe jungle]

Nothing false about the statement, but you do you

[maiden oak]

Anyone know when next arc is?

[shadow nest]

@maiden oak Still waiting for the eventual server maintenance announcement

[hardy parcel]

My guess is a week Tuesday. Won't be this week

[narrow crypt]

Borg ends on the Tuesday - so could still be tomorrow... would expect an announcement sooner rather than later if it is though.

[kindred dew]

CAIV

[main ore]

Scopely still not fixed the 19 mil ship <@&509691205798592532> any update as scopely Customer Support is as useful as a chocolate tea pot

[golden knot]

What are the must have, top Borg officers in the event store?

[abstract gate]

5of10

10of10

[hardy parcel]

2 is pretty good too. Personally I'm waiting to spend mine.

[narrow crypt]

Chocolate Tea Pots are useful... for about 15 seconds.

[robust vapor]

Psh, ice tea, obviously.

[bronze bloom]

When will the next arc start?

[cunning radish]

When they announce it will start

[hardy parcel]

Next week probably

[desert laurel]

haven't heard a maintenance announcement yet, so I'm expecting the next part to start on the 9th

[bronze bloom]

And nothing official from scopley…. Poor and annoying

The rewards are poor too… only the one days with steel and the other day with trit was really good…

We need more exiting and heroic events… really heroic… not the swarm heroic… my t5 Franklin A laughing about 75xlv35 swarms

[hardy parcel]

Since they usually announce several days in advance no announcements probably means next week.
They aren't going to make an announcement that there is no announcement are they? 🤣

[bronze bloom]

🤣

[indigo perch]

Might be waiting for time change. Since they made an announcement concerning dailies, probably to try to avert the massive whining about the daily timers not changing with the daily clock.

[ivory vault]

They might announce maintenance today. They don’t always give us notice

[cunning radish]

lol

[hardy parcel]

Possible but highly unlikely imo, we are still in the middle of the borg event

[silver current]

Wow, 2 whole Borg armada directives! Scopely is awesomely generous today!

[hardy parcel]

For a team of 5 that's 10 armadas....

[hollow fossil]

2 in gift chest, 2 in the slb from yesterday

[fierce cosmos]

So... spend 10 mega cube directives to get... 10 megacube directives?

[hardy parcel]

4 in total, that's 20 armadas even better 👍

[neat barn]

that's good, not sure the 2 would have covered it

[somber flame]

Ok let me get this straight you spend 10 directives to get 10 directives. I see the S…. Math is in full effect.

[ornate geyser]

5 and 6.

[somber flame]

And 1 of 11

[hardy parcel]

And 2

5, 10 and 2 imo

[neat barn]

20 unc to finish?

[hardy parcel]

A little less, you get points for directives too

[south arrow]

It’s a free bonus

[shrewd knot]

So they still haven't changed these events and they still are garbage.

[ionic wren]

This borg cube is clearly a terrible event. A big fail of scopely. Not understanding why them do it again.

[neat barn]

but you get 4 directives! - yeah i agree

[north wraith]

Borg event is a bust

You get really bad Borg War Fund rewards for a Store thats proportionally expensive

[neat barn]

just takes a few rounds of the event to get what you're looking for - so about 2-3 years

[ionic wren]

Rewards are S.hi.tty. event store is a joke, armada event is long and borgmada give poor and no sense loot. 1 hour and 15 minutes to finish this event. Wtf

[north wraith]

I'm missing 31 shards for the Infinitus refit for ViDar, at this rate I will need about 7-8 events to get. When was the last Borg event? Beginning of the year? Last year?

[fierce cosmos]

August...

[wind fog]

Even if they do this every 2 months, it will take well over a year just to unlock the skin

[fierce cosmos]

This is the first time I can participate and yeah, I can see why everyone has been complaining about these heh

[hexed lark]

EVENT IS TAKING POINTS AWAY NOT AWARDING Them??????

[abstract gate]

Which one, lat rush SLB?

Don’t get robbed 😅

[hexed lark]

Borgmadas

Got up to 98 points then it started taking points away instead of awarding.

One of these does not match the other....

[desert laurel]

point it out so we know what you're talking about. I'm not seeing anything like negative pts and your SS doesn't show that either

[plush rivet]

looks like you are over the 98 pts mark to me

64 pts left to finish the event

[arctic root]

Spend 10 mega cube directives to win back 10 mega cube directives bit strange payout that is

[desert laurel]

that's not the only payout

[terse summit]

🤦‍♂️

[desert laurel]

a 37.5k investment this time allows you to enter every MC sms event if you run it once per borg mini-arc. That earns you 4.5k pts in the ALB just starting it

[arctic root]

@desert laurel this is only payout for me

[desert laurel]

yeah, long-term plan to get your alliance the first place in the ALB

[desert laurel]

save those directives and use them the next time the MC sms is run

what are the scores in your ALB now?

roughly the same as my server, so just one person doing this is another ~1% pts guaranteed, plus more if you win

[neat barn]

looks like you also get some nanoprobes when you do an epic, but that's if you win

[desert laurel]

you won't need all to buy it, even 10 people is 45k more pts guaranteed. Beat a MC a few times and you take first at the cost of 375k cost to your alliance. That pays off in one mini-arc, not to you individually, but to everyone as a collective

[brave smelt]

Anyone have any info on when the next ISS Jellyfish pursuit event will take place?

[austere orbit]

any new patch coming tomorrow?

[hardy parcel]

Is there an announcement?

If not then no, no patch lol

[austere orbit]

well they done it before.. no news and still patched next arch

hence why i was asking...🤔

well the in game news area

[hardy parcel]

They haven't done a patch without a discord announcement in, well possibly years

[nova valley]

I think actives are still the “payout” of this event. The event store is secondary. As odd as that sounds.

Probably. But if they do it wisely. The cash is converted to actives. Not loot

[keen mist]

They nerf the mega cube armadas? They seem easier than before.

[nova valley]

Not since august. But people are stronger than before. Research. Ships. Officers.

[waxen sedge]

It's a pretty bad event if that's the criteria then, without spending you get less actives than a single day's refinery pull.

A 2 chest pull with the prime borg rewards, but still

[nova valley]

Nah. Not true. Again. Just hidden mechanics. A player pointed me out to something today. And it’s so urgent I think I’ll stream on YouTube in about an hour to show it off. I’m even gonna spend on screen to show in real time what the effects would be. (Only to fast forward, spending is not required for the long play that I was shown today)

[waxen sedge]

Yeah, I saw the strategy to bootstrap yourself to free mega cube runs every time it comes around, it would make it worthwhile to go that route.

*a free mega cube run

[nova valley]

Yeah. Can’t believe I missed it. And here I was screaming for free mega cube runs. And scopley sitting back like “dude wtf. Open your eyes”

Buyin will delay you from something else. But everytime the event runs that “buy in” you spent on day 1 gets better and better ROI.

[vagrant glen]

Will there be an increase to number of capture nodes per zone with the coming territory cross server events? Or will we be defending and contesting same as now?

Also, will there be a cap on who can challenge who? I dont want a 90% whale alliance challenging a noob alliance that somehow is top on their server so they have territory...

Ergo: server 1 vs a brand new server...

Itll be easy for s1 and lame unfun for the other.

[slim solar]

Cross server territory?

What

When was this announced

[ornate geyser]

I wouldn't worry about it. We can't even get in-server territory competition, lol, ex-server will be even less so.

[waxen sedge]

Cross server territory capture doesn't make any sense, where was this suggestion made and/or by whom?

[desert laurel]

it's on the roadmap

[cunning radish]

He’s talking about server to server events announced. But for some reason thinks ships will be in each other’s territories

Which will never happen in a million years 🤣

I reckon it’ll just be events like the server merge ones

They’re the only example of server vs server events we’ve seen anyway

[desert laurel]

they're specifically talking about territory in the blurb so his concern makes sense. I doubt they'll be invading Origin though, probably a new space we can fight for on "equal" ground

[vagrant glen]

Ok thx

Also, dont dismiss things, just because you misunderstand them.

Understanding is important to resolution.

[cunning radish]

We were literally discussing trying to understand what you said

🤣

Who was dismissing ?

[dapper drum]

you mean where your server scores in a metric then you have to check some obscene obscure third party site that updates 3 to 4 hours after the fact

[dapper drum]

just do your daily refine, its all you can do for actives

you will never have enough no matter what though so pick and choose which officers are worth it

[abstract gate]

And as ever remember that it’s the officer ability that improves through promotion, so some Borg add most value at T1 and promoting them is an “optional” nice-to-have where others are more beneficial promoted.

For example, unless you want the capacity for looting or have “safe space” mining agreements (DS/Token/Territory) then promoting Four is a waste.

[random tide]

promoting 4 is amazing for raiding

[eager hill]

all this talk of "free" MC and one needs to buy the first 10 directives 🤣 it is not possible to get them through the event store either, at least not from a single one

[celest cloud]

Or for Scopely to discontinue the Buy-one-get-one-free event next time...

[eager hollow]

@median slate this is the reason actives are so important

I actually like this Borg event, the mega cube is still hard for some people especially those choosing the wrong target

[cunning radish]

I’m not sure if the Vidar skin shows up again once you buy all 15 skin parts

Didn’t seem to for many this time around who bought them all last time anyway.

[formal birch]

but it looks that is not possible to make 15 this event but last time it was possible full 15

[wind fog]

That would be terrible if it’s not available every time

[cunning radish]

it isnt

surprise 😉

[bitter snow]

Limit is likely there just to slow down the spenders

I contemplated the pack, but the rest of the store was a bit meh

and the rest of the pack did not spark joy, either

[somber flame]

No events today???

[plush rivet]

hmmm hostile hunt the only event today @rough mulch

[pallid heath]

Is that it...?

[somber flame]

I guess it's a day off from the game.

[wise ibex]

buy some packs and scope will be able to affort events soon again

[somber flame]

This is just going to make the top two alliances go after each other harder today.

[hidden socket]

So no real events today or….

[north pike]

Thought we might have had CoW this week...

[charred shadow]

Where is COW or apex?

[subtle sequoia]

easy evening

[barren shale]

No CoW this month? Will there be Apex this weekend? Sad when the canned events aren't worth the effort to release.

[plush rivet]

or did they think today was Nov 7th?

[charred shadow]

I can understand no Faction Hunt since we essentially had it via Trick or treat event

[rough dust]

Dear Scopely... where are all the events? CoW, FH, Aepx? Or are we gonna Hostile Hunt our way to deployment?

[charred shadow]

But 🐮 ?

🦁 (apex predator) ?

[plush rivet]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> any answers?

[north pike]

Would expect Apex at weekend. Perhaps CoW starting tomorrow and Apex on Saturday.

[hasty slate]

Days like this, I imagine them sitting at their computers giggling at the complaints.

[rough dust]

Can you all PLEASE stop keeping us in the dark on events? PLEASE.

[charred shadow]

Should be cow today apex starting Thursday so it doesn’t interfere with Sunday

[north pike]

But then we didn't have Cosmic Cleanup last saturday.

[north pike]

Last 2 runs of Apex started Saturday and finished after maintenance.

[charred shadow]

I know it has, suggesting it end on a Saturday

So start it earlier

[median portal]

wouldn't mind hostile hunt so much if they doubled the rewards. 20 u/c ore and 60m steel is a bit meh for all that grinding

[charred shadow]

Cause Sunday is busy enough

[dire veldt]

42

[plush rivet]

well duh that's the universal answer to everything.. but sadly it does not answer the question about today's events

[rough dust]

why does Scopely have to have such god awful communication?

[median portal]

it would be nice to have a clear schedule for these transition periods, especially when they run for more than a week

[dire veldt]

hostile hunt is all that's intended to run today, go hug a tree, talk to a significant other, kick a kid in the... you getthe idea

[amber horizon]

This. I never understood why they refuse to communicate in advance

[median portal]

c'mon, give us a clue on the topic of the next arc

[dire veldt]

clue: 2

[amber horizon]

So what was the point of rushing the Borg event and overlapping it with the last day of the Halloween event?

[rigid gorge]

Thanks for the confirmation! Works for me; I’ve got things to read.

[weak gust]

Thank you for only one Event this time. A little more time for the RL.

[amber horizon]

Shut the door on your way out 😂

[median portal]

Wrath of Khan?

[true heron]

https://tenor.com/view/shit-jurassic-part-dr-malcolm-dinosaur-poop-gif-5262492

Events today

[mellow orchid]

Getting General Mortok or Chanceller Gowron epic officer in next arc

[bitter snow]

Event* Singular 😉

I don't count the dailies... those are just like the daily goals

[weak gust]

Why? More time for the family. More time to spend in the Nature. We will got "Grind Grind Grind" Time soon enough 😂

[true heron]

I play this to get away from all that crap 🤣

[amber horizon]

I mean you can choose that over a game regardless of what events are going on lol

[median portal]

good shout. Maybe they're in this khitomer's revenge officer group along with honorguard Worf

[mellow orchid]

Let’s not forgot Borg Barot too. Got to get the Borg miner set out lol.

[median portal]

ah yes but we have all the set now of ten borg officers unless they're thinking of expanding it

[mellow orchid]

Remember scoplay math and counting aren’t the most accurate.

[median portal]

ahh so 11 of 10

[main spindle]

Borg barot might be 0 of 10 LoL

[mellow orchid]

Why not it makes sense or as @main spindle says 0 of 10 lol

[bronze bloom]

Annoying deluxe scopley! Nothing more?

[small ridge]

Only one event every now and then is fine, but they could at least pop something interesting in the store to make it semi exciting. Harrison maybe?

[ionic wren]

Neither a brawl or a parabellum event...🤪

[south arrow]

Scopley has to follow up with something better then borgmadas 🤣 and this is way better

[main spindle]

Anyone know when the next arc is haven't gotten a maintenance message yet

[quick socket]

Apparently that's all that was intended to run today. Whatever nonsense that is.

[bronze bloom]

That’s no events and rewards poor… scopley doesn’t know what to do

[quick socket]

Maybe they want less game time from us today

They'll certainly get that from me 😂

[bronze bloom]

Pffff same less time as the last days… few mins more for Borg armadas… that’s it

[quick socket]

Likely this coming Tuesday after the DST changes on Sunday

[main spindle]

Ah ok

[weak gust]

Ah. No. Then we need the time to get some decent rewards 🤣

[main spindle]

They should have put up a cow event or something or even a normal faction hunt

[quick socket]

They were likely too taxed from running "new" events for Halloween. Can only expect so much output from them.

That's sarcasm lol

[merry fulcrum]

No I don't get the idea, where do I kick the kid? 👀

[quick socket]

https://c.tenor.com/e8DKTOEe0yQAAAAM/in-the-face-hangover.gif

[median portal]

Best of BOTH worlds?

[snow nest]

for the love of Gowron, please add something to the events today...maybe an announcement they are late today? Something? Faction Hunt? CoW?

[placid scroll]

Yes, wondering, too.
Normally there are cow and apex outlaw between the arcs, but today there is only the hostile hunt event 😳

[abstract gate]

I’m BOOOOOOOORED!

[knotty viper]

Especially when you can finish the event in 1 kill

[abstract gate]

Any chance of just dropping faction hunt or something, save me from dying of boredom?

I’ve literally done every last thing there is 😂

https://tenor.com/view/depressed-bored-boredom-swing-head-gif-17224602

[calm belfry]

Any news on the new arc?

[terse summit]

Yes. No. Maybe

[abstract gate]

News just in:

https://tenor.com/view/absolutely-nothing-none-nothing-empty-zero-gif-16011641

[rough dust]

It isn't about just wanting more events. It's because I need the rewards. When you're F2P, you come to rely on the rewards from CoW, FH, and Apex between Arcs. HH does pay out ok, and I'll take it, but I need the additional events for the rewards. I also tend with finish all the events within the first hour after reset. Which gives me plenty of time to hug trees, speak with my wife, and kick my kids in their.... you get the idea.

[abstract gate]

People can always not do stuff if it’s too much or too grindy

But as I’m hardly world’s strongest grinder, that I’m done inside two hours including an hour and a half of meetings and eating food, there ain’t enough on 😂

Smashed a few 43s, did two researches and a few faction recruit pulls and I’ve done everything. Everything everything.

[long slate]

Game is losing it’s appeal. One does not hours a day to play mobile game events!

[merry fulcrum]

They could just up the reward payouts

But then that wouldn't help with incentivising you to spend

[rough dust]

As I mentioned... I'm F2P. Like literally... $0.00.

I know it's just a in general statement not for you specifically

When will the next battle pass start ?

[rough dust]

Unknown. Guessing one week from today.

[full notch]

Ballz

[abstract gate]

Hello everyone ... present

[calm belfry]

I think next week. I believe it's usually a week between arcs

[cunning radish]

Sometimes one. Sometimes two.

[plucky ermine]

It’s one bp per month so 12 a year. Filler week + 3 weeks BP are 48 weeks / year. A year has 52 weeks so an additional 4 weeks need filling. This is where BORG might come in handy

[wild portal]

No new arc?

[steep mist]

Does anyone have a breakdown of leaderboard event ops ranges? Is it different for each LB event?

[cunning radish]

It changes slightly for each event

It’s usually within a few level ranges

But after 30 it tends to be much wider

Especially after 34

Like 34-38/39, 39-49 etc

[potent sun]

refinery event PLEASE

[hardy parcel]

Just an event, please! 🤣

[quick socket]

Came here to say this 😂😂 give us something

[abstract gate]

Add a bug on the refinery again plzzz , unlimited refines for the first 5 mins no cool downs

[hardy parcel]

No egregious exploits! 🤣

[abstract gate]

I got 5M raw of everything at the moment, I’d mash that button so hard my phone would look like one of those folding ones.

Best day ever, Ops 39 before next battle pass 😍😂

[south arrow]

Is scopley trying to get people to quit?

[blazing falcon]

hostile hunt? again?

where is my CoW?

[hexed pond]

Cool events people

[frank lark]

Come on Scopley..#.another day or crappy non events

[remote ferry]

How hard could it be to give us the regular events between BPs?

[kind copper]

Doesent Matter its the Same for ops 38..

[blazing falcon]

scopely, i'm on lockdown in my city, i need events!

[modern estuary]

come on you could have put apex on or something

[deep steeple]

Really hope new arc comes in the next couple of days as endless hostile hunting events is now just boring especially as the rewards are not that great

[nimble ibex]

really guys? hostile hunt AGAIN? did someone delete apex and coalition of war or something?

[snow girder]

BORING

[native raven]

its always a tuesday they do new arcs... so a few days yet

[weak jackal]

Very Lazy Scopley

[cunning radish]

The Halloween event basically gave the factions credits you’re getting this time

No cow for you

😬

[nimble ibex]

but watch next sunday they'll hit us with 17 events

[drifting bridge]

Live feed from Scopely events team’s office

[blazing falcon]

five days without events? its not funny

[native raven]

technically we had the gash borg event

[nimble forge]

What happened to CoW & APEX?! Where are the end of arc events?!

[cunning radish]

Relax and go play another game for a day

Balance is good

At least change the rewards jeez

Really, hostile hunt yet again. Xome on Scopely raise your game. Really should be Crucible e of War.

[cunning radish]

🥳

[abstract gate]

@scopey

[cunning radish]

People really dont like change

[nimble ibex]

maybe player engagement was too high for their servers 😛

[severe pivot]

Might just have to find a new game to play between arcs if they keep this up

[serene raptor]

Lag is so much better. They finally hit on the answer... No events

[true dew]

boooooring. we need the apex event or crucible of war or something. hostile hunt is done in five minutes

[native raven]

5 minutes? why'd it take you so long?

[sonic bobcat]

Why Hostile again? Now we can't fit is CoW and APEX before next arc

[native raven]

maybe we'll get 5 days of Faction hunt....

everyone will get RSI

[hexed pond]

That’ll never happen

[abstract gate]

I’m hoping to get there before next Si Vis

Sooo

This means we’re not running Apex?

[snow girder]

no events till next arc 😛

[abstract gate]

Well that’s where I’m getting to

shoulnt be the 7th the 1h gap without events now we r already at 2 days...

[kind copper]

Congrats u done it 💪

[white coral]

Yall been complaining about the Arcs so this is what you get!

[abstract gate]

If we’re not getting Apex, we’re left with CoW which is… ok, I guess…

[hidden socket]

Scopely dropping the ball again. Pathetic. 😡

[sonic bobcat]

Rather have APEX over cow, need the APEX research credits

[dreamy robin]

Guys, WTH is going on? Did all the devs just up and quit? Hell, you could've given us the usual COW, APEX, MS combo if you had nothing.

[slim solar]

Ok, today is wednesday

Apex and cow are 3 day events

So 6 days for both

[hardy parcel]

Where are the events? 🤣

[slim solar]

We have what 5 more event resets

[potent lichen]

Where's my cosmic cleanup!

[slim solar]

So best bet, cow or apex and 2 day of fac hunt

[hardy parcel]

Give us something at least, not just hostile hunt <@&509690795536941056>

[nimble ibex]

lorca auction? something

[dreamy robin]

Only on Saturdays during the arcs.

[rough dust]

Another Hostile Hunt day, huh? I feel like i'm an Ops 15 again.... 😑

[dreamy robin]

I've been getting fairly lucky with Lorca pulls out of the Ultra chests.

And the HH has some BS piddly rewards. I'm not even completing them.

[nimble ibex]

i'm grinding rom rep to glorified, so HH will get done

but man, boring!

[dreamy robin]

I'm just gonna set miners and shield.

[nimble ibex]

to punish us for complaining, we'll get 24 hour runs of going ghost the rest of the week

"you wanted events, here you go"

[dreamy robin]

Screw it, we should all just throw up 7 day shields and not play until Tuesday.

[keen mist]

Can we change this channel to "no-event-chat" please? Ty

[nimble ibex]

the channel formerly known as event chat

where we discuss "events", a discarded game play mechanism in STFC

[somber flame]

The really sad part is they had the whole Halloween week while we were chasing gummy candy around to figure this week out.

you'll get what you get and you won't... oh wait...

[median portal]

i think it's the general "can't be assed atm" vibe coming off from scopely that is ticking everyone off

especially when they have paying customers

[amber horizon]

If it was planned to give us nothing why did they overlap the Halloween and Borg events? So dumb

[median portal]

it wouldn't be so bad if they'd given us some warning that next couple of days were gonna be a bit quiet and it's because of "this"

but from this side, it just looks like they're making it up as they go along

unprofessional

[quasi creek]

Of course they make it up as they go, or they would have added an event calender in game years ago

[dreamy robin]

The best part is there is literally so much shit they could recycle and reuse for new players. The Disco Arc, the Borg Arc or the Arena Arc and just compress one into a one week event for new players and old players to do.

[median portal]

they do though for battle passes and it's ok (until they make last minute changes without warning ofc)

[quasi creek]

You know, like any other mobile game has

[hidden socket]

[toxic hare]

Scopely looked at the glacial pace of progression and thought "Whoa there hold yer horses folks, where yall going in such a rush?"

[native raven]

considering they have openly said they want players to get to lv40 plus.... that statement doesnt fit

[toxic hare]

The lack of events for a week and the eternal dumpster fire that is the refinery doesn't fit with that statement either. I'm leaning towards crippling incompetence.

[main spindle]

Sure hope this isn't going to be the event all week and weekend that's going to piss people off

[low cargo]

Well the whales have all they could want, so they must still be happy.

[main spindle]

They should have done the 3 day borg event after the trick or treat events if that's the case cuz hostel hunt is boring as hell especially when it's 3 days in a row

[nimble ibex]

or make the rewards more along the lines of the ticketed event version of hostile hunt

[main spindle]

Will really suck if there's another build event for officers for the next arc with the lack of events to replace what we spent for display of dominance during the trick or treat Halloween events

[errant linden]

Thats all part of their plan though, thats how they push players towards buying packs.

[main ore]

😂 Provide evidence of screenshots to scopely of a fxk up they caused and scopely Customer support reply - Do not open another ticket with this screenshot we will reject it 😂 guess they didn't like being proved wrong

[elder gyro]

So no events today agai n

[quiet quarry]

another uneventful day

Transmission incoming

Twitter · Nov 3, 2021, 5:02 PM

Yeah, no events. Too busy writing these.

T'liss skin auction incoming 🤣🤣

[brave chasm]

What happened with that Facebook vote thing?

[hardy parcel]

They will announce the results early 2034

[brave chasm]

😂

[desert laurel]

had to look it up, that's one ugly ship, like the tos augur skin

[hardy parcel]

It is the ToS augur lol

Although there are some versions that look closer to the sanctum

[cosmic ridge]

No events today????
Plz give us some event with alliance credits in!!!

[ember walrus]

Maybe they are actually testing the next arc. 🤣

[celest cloud]

That's the Star Trek Online version, but there is also a T'Liss class from some Enterprise era novels, I believe.

[vague lichen]

Give us CoW until the next arc is ready at least….. come on, this is boring.

[stray flint]

Where’s CoW? Need the alliance Credits Scopely dudes

[glass storm]

There was a lawsuit filed against it contesting the results, once the lawyers are done we will know the winner

[brave chasm]

STOP THE STEAL

[novel hollow]

If your ships are strong enough you can stop a raid 🤣

[abstract gate]

Only ships you need to be able to kill are the surveys

[brave chasm]

Meming about the Facebook vote thing no game stuff 😂

[abstract gate]

We’re so bored we’ve taken to racing across a system.

A Pan crew Realta is slightly faster than Pan + Kuron on a BB.

Also we did a race to fill up Vi’dar with OPC.

Completed that, made some new friends and learned some new German insults.

😂

[ember walrus]

Honestly we cant be made happy. We complain if there is a bunch to do and if there is too little.

[desert laurel]

only if you group everyone, it's different sets of people on either side

[full notch]

Yes, I need CoW. I have an Auger and a D4 to build and upgrade
😁

[desert laurel]

just bein' real, they shouldn't cater to those who want less to do. Those players can always do less if they wanted and skip events. Those that want to play hardcore to differentiate themselves have much less capability without an event to reward that effort

[ember walrus]

There is also the line between too much and jack squat like this week so far. At least mix the events up.

[narrow crypt]

Line? Gaping chasm you mean?!

[full notch]

This is when they may lose players.

It's a nice break...... some may opt out

I would normally grind for more Rep, but I good where I am now.

I get dailies done in about an hour without trying too hard

[dapper drum]

No events means catching up on actual game

[shut delta]

I agree @dapper drum it’s a nice bloody change for a few days.

[fathom shuttle]

No Events means starting some random PVP just for the sake of it. 😂

[dapper drum]

thats everyday regardless

[vital drum]

I used the day to catch up on research. I made a couple of spreadsheets and realised I was missing a couple of easy but very useful things so that's actually kind of cool.. I quite like the quiet days, good for planning

[dapper drum]

yep, and you can't not do the events when they are around to "enjoy quiet" you miss even 1 week in game and you are never catching up

[lost lake]

Anyone else struggling to get the events "uncloaked"?
Ingenious Scopely 👏 Brilliant idea!

[stuck cape]

Any idea what Today's event will be in less than 4 hours? I have a ship to build

[wise ibex]

hostile hunt

[bronze bloom]

Apex and only data mining🤣

[dapper drum]

parsteel mining

[hardy parcel]

domination

[dapper drum]

and make it an SLB

with abysmal rewards

[wild mountain]

Im running out of researches after those huge display of dominance events. :p

[abstract gate]

Hostile hunt SLB

With 1 rare and 15 uncommons of each for first place, down to 1 of each for 10th.

[ember walrus]

My bet is a 2* mining event ops 1-60 bracket rewards are 1 enovoy for first place

[south arrow]

Borgmadas 🤣

[formal birch]

kill +10 lvl OPS in pvp kenser as captain

[abstract gate]

Scopley should auto convert the faction bps to faction credits if we have a full set / already have built one. Just like the transporter patterns.

Scopely should increase loot gained from hostiles to X2 on all the hostiles.

I can’t go anywhere without going OPC and usually full cargo on a single hull.

Why would I need to get maxed faster? 👀

[humble marten]

Hostile hunt rewards blow considering the points requirement. Wth this being the only event running it should have more to it.
Come on Scopely wake up.

[north pike]

Reckon will be more hostile hunt later. Scopely staff seem to have left the building and not running the events that they promise are on a pattern (cosmic cleanup every Saturday except last one, CoW in betwèen arcs). Come on Scopely let them back in.

[unkempt pecan]

Don’t you all know - after the success of ladt months arc scopley were so pleased they gave all their staff 2 weeks paid leave. Apparently it’s never happened before, people being pleased with them, so they decided to rest on their laurels. 😂

[lavish silo]

You're playing fast & loose with the word "pleased". 😂

[ember walrus]

Thank god

[blazing falcon]

FINALLY

[ember walrus]

Yes its another flavor of hostile hunt but has rewards i care about

[elder gyro]

Tell me about it

[pallid heath]

Timing doesn't line up though, 3 days of CoW + 3 days of Apex means we overshoot maintenance day? Unless it's not apex/apex is only 2 days/we have to wait another week for new arc 😱

[ember walrus]

As i jokingly said before maybe they are testing new arc and its gonna be delayed. Doubt it on testing

[elder gyro]

So just tiered up 3 jellies and not on the board yet

[dire veldt]

no points for tiering up my Ent-D??

[elder gyro]

So is it lacking or do i need to send in a ticket

Still no points on the board

[deep steeple]

I get the feeling no apex this month. 3 days of CoW then 2 days of domination events is my guess...

[pallid heath]

That would be a shame...not even any military supremacy to go along with CoW either

[ripe jungle]

There is military supremacy

Some people got it

[pallid heath]

Oh weird I didn't get it but I'm in the exact same situation as last month

[deep steeple]

We could of been doing apex last 3 days instead of hostile hunt.

Not had MS in months still no idea why some get it and others dont

[oblique dock]

Still no Franky A or Stella added to scoring metrics! Booooo lol

Seriously though <@&509691205798592532> , could we get this added please?@rough mulch

[bitter snow]

Isn't that one of the ships that doesn't exist ingame yet?

[gusty pulsar]

its even more of a wallet warrior event.

[dreamy robin]

I'm thinking people with shipyards at the specific ship levels are the only people with MS. My alliance only players with shipyards at level 26, 28, 32 and 35 got Military Supremacy.

[bronze bloom]

3 days CoW🙈🙈🙈🙈we need only 18 hours for all AMS🙈 Is this all? @rough mulch @livid jolt @fresh peak ????

[icy beacon]

Erm, as a lvl28 how am I supposed to take on lvl36 NPC for today's event?

[still verge]

With a level 28 faction ship

[neat mirage]

With the level 28 ships you can kill lvl40 hostiles

[uneven peak]

You can easily kill level 36 ships with a 26 faction ship, a 28 faction ship would barely be scratched by them.

[main ore]

I asked scopely to explain fairness and they didn't reply just closed the chat 😂 guess that question was too difficult

[robust vapor]

Pretty sure it is the level 60 Federation epic, though I don't think anyone has one yet.

[bitter snow]

Yeah, there was something about stuff 57 and up not being finished at the point of release though 😂

[cedar laurel]

No Apex event this month?

[upper knot]

i was just about to ask that myself. Scopely usually doesn't comment on things like that but maybe this time they could....

Start Apex Saturday so it overlaps with the last day of CoW.

only half the children in this room will complain. It won't be that bad.

[cedar laurel]

I being saving up for the entire months! 😩

[abstract gate]

Strap up and you can kill 41/42s.

[neat mirage]

I suppose at 28 he has no max chen...

[slate nimbus]

anyone know when bp event starts?

[abstract gate]

I don’t have one at 38 🤣

[neat mirage]

Neither I at 40 🤣
Cant do all dailies anymore.... Already dropped 100k lat but so slow

[desert laurel]

the cow officer pull option can be a nice bonus source of chen shards, I usually have a separate timer just to grab it often on cooldown

[plush nebula]

Some people in my alliance have the military supremacy solo event and others do not. Does anyone know why?

[sullen barn]

https://tenor.com/view/magical-magic-gif-13543499

[plush nebula]

My theory - people who already have the Franklin or the D'Vor DON'T get this event

[sullen barn]

certain shipyard levels that don't have certain ships get it to so they are more inclined to buy the ship with real $, my thought.

[plush nebula]

Yes, I think so too

[sullen barn]

got an ops 18/shipyard 18 that has MS and the only option for them would be to buy a NS or Franklin in the store and build it cause there is no way they are going to kill 500 lvl 26+ ships when they can barely do lvl 24's

[wind fog]

It’s a mystery that’s debated every month. It’s definitely based on ops level and faction rep and what ships you’ve already built

[ember walrus]

Its 🎩 🪄 and a pita if you cant build the ships

[earnest hornet]

Not true I have both and I would get this event now and then.

But yes it is debated every single time.
What is known? It is random, in a sense that we don’t know what the criteria is, there will be a criteria some where in scopely’s dusty records, but it hasnt been able to be figured out with any certainty

The main thing is some get it, some don’t. And to be honest it’s not a major side event that will or won’t be missed,

[robust vapor]

I still think they assign it randomly 😂

[random tide]

I haven't gotten it since I went to ops 39

Like 6 ish months, maybe more, of no ms. But from ops 34 to 38, got it every single time

[cunning radish]

I got it last month haven’t this one

At 34-35

Didn’t do it last time maybe that’s why 🤣

[keen mist]

Sigh. Bit much for a lowly 41.

[cunning radish]

its bugged

[keen mist]

Why won't they complete it for me then?

[ashen briar]

Doesn't MS go away at ops 39? Which is why you don't get it... But I haven't seen it since 36

[cunning radish]

ask them

how should we know

lol

[keen mist]

Just a mini rant, they already told me they can't, or won't.

[cunning radish]

as they did many others

[ripe jungle]

Not the reason either. I did it the second time I got it 😛

[cunning radish]

Obviously it wasn't

I was being facetious

😂

[celest cloud]

Hard to tell, but most likely because a fix might be coming in the next patch? I hope so as I also have the same issue, and also have had my ticket closed.

[vital drum]

I'm starting to scratch the bottom of the barrel too, I have a few tasty territory researches but not enough iso. Maybe I should have got the Meridian skin, but I can't imagine how boring it would be mining that much every day

[earnest hornet]

Really it doesn’t take that long to mine it 😂😂

[abstract gate]

Depends how prolific your OPC hunters are

You need two full Meridians of Iso 3 every day which is 45 minutes of watching your miner on our server.

[stone glen]

Definitely worth getting more than one meridian, really cuts down on that time

[hardy parcel]

More than one? I'd be happy to have even one 🤣

[abstract gate]

How did you not have one?

[hardy parcel]

I missed it, was taking a "break"

Scopely love time sensitive stuff lol

[abstract gate]

😂

TOS crew is my gap

[hardy parcel]

Well a lot of the newer crew was all auction released anyway 🤣
Completely missed TNG and meridian myself

[stone glen]

I must admit I am also completely reliant on people mining iso2 ideally with meridians, so much better to find one or two 50-100k OPC meridians than to scrape through and kill slightly OPC horizons and botany bays.

[tepid lichen]

they are only available for ops32+

they require at least building one 3* rare warships on ops32 to complete, or do hostile hunt lvl38+ for 2pts per hostile

[uneven peak]

Players below ops 32 can get military supremacy.

The targets are different for different ops levels

[tepid lichen]

at what operation is it below ops32?

[uneven peak]

Any

I had it in early 20s

[tepid lichen]

anyway, this is how it looks like on ops32

[tepid lichen]

20s? i have a friend at ops27, he doesn't have military supremacy

[abstract gate]

It happens at Ops 34 too.

Happens in the 20s

[tepid lichen]

i think it starts at ops32 really

okay

[uneven peak]

Because it's not guaranteed. No one knows what triggers it. Scopley won't say.

[abstract gate]

It starts in the 20s easily.

[stone glen]

The general theory is that you need the capability to a faction warship at your level, but to not have it yet.

[tepid lichen]

selected players you mean, and by that they're special lol

[stone glen]

So last time around I was level 33, and had no level 32 ships, but was capable of getting one and I got mil supremacy.

Now I am level 34, but all the epics are out of range, and I do not have mil supremacy

But who knows

I still need another 37k fed credits to afford the epic I have been aiming for

[abstract gate]

Bizarre. I had Lv32 when I did that upgrade, and had a random one when I was Ops 33. I did Ops 34 during that and had two at once.

[abstract gate]

The D4?

[uneven peak]

I haven't had once since before I built a 26 faction ship

I'm level 33 now

[hardy parcel]

Military supremacy event has always been a bit "random". It's not given out per level, or based on ships.
Rather some secret scopely formulae

[tepid lichen]

yea, this is probably true, actually i can afford buying a brel, the only pdoblem is that i need to reach associate at klingon store

[uneven peak]

But I always make sure I have enough creds to get the next faction ship before I reach that level. So I wouldn't have to spend money to get the last of them.

[stone glen]

Understandable, I'm currently pushing to 35 so I can get the Frank A and stockpile more resources

[tepid lichen]

the only freaking ship in its level with warp 75 on t1

doing my best to max Franklin real fast because of that

[hardy parcel]

You can't. The warp upgrades are ops locked

Unless you mean max tho old one? In which case - spot on 👍

[tepid lichen]

i mean the old one

[stone glen]

I suggest camping in a system near swarm 32 space, so the trips are nice and short

I found Rator to be a pretty good home system

[tepid lichen]

i got around a minute or so for travel to lvl32 swarms

[stone glen]

Though now I have finally capped my Franklin, I should probably hang out elsewhere

Especially since I just told HarmoniusDeath where I live 😛

[hardy parcel]

Comedy error 🤣🤣

[abstract gate]

You make it sound like you aren’t on my bookmarks already 🤣

If you have stuff, I’ve saved your address 😂

But don’t forget the warp range afforded by the Frank A is as much use as mammary glands on an aquatic animal.

The missions will need you to kill stuff that the Frank A can’t kill.

The materials up there are useless until you’re Ops 39 anyway.

The only thing you can do if you have Max Chen or a severe dislike of your repair speedups and trit reserves is kill hostiles. Oh, and mine lat with less interference.

[hardy parcel]

The best use for franklin a warp range is getting to the hub systems then relocating to do the dailies/ missions in a proper ship lol.

But it's main use is the bionics refinery, which is awesome

[abstract gate]

Yup, but you’re gonna be relocating like a trooper.

Just accept that you’re not ready for it until you get a Jelly, and work towards that.

Otherwise you’ll build frustration and blame the game for your decisions 😅

[hardy parcel]

Nah, I'm happy to relocate. Got tons of tokens

[abstract gate]

A few times a day?

[hardy parcel]

Not getting a jelly any time soon.
Only need to relocate once a day

[abstract gate]

That’s gonna get boring extremely quickly, especially as the only thing slower than a Frank A’s warp is a Sarco’s impulse.

[abstract gate]

“Anyone help with this 38R?”

“Anyone wanna do 39E?”

“Xxxxxx is being looted, come give us a hand defending”

Everything eclipse…

Data

[hardy parcel]

Frank - Hadley, helvia 🤣
I don't pvp and I abhor armadas.
I'm happy chilling in DS 🤣

[abstract gate]

G3 obviously.

Well, you do you, but that is a miserable and lonely existence if all you do is sit and mine the few bits that are up there and hit a few hostiles.

[hardy parcel]

My life in this game is mining and eating red doritos 🤷‍♂️🤣

You don't have to do all your dailies every day (shocking i know!).

[stone glen]

Right now raiders on our server seem pretty desperate, I assume that if I am gonna be unshielded for more than 15 minutes I'm probably gonna get a visit

[hardy parcel]

Generally happens on servers once people get to the high 30's and start running out of basic resources lol

[abstract gate]

It’s not like you have a lot to rob 😬

That’s a remote raid right there 😂

[hardy parcel]

Barely worth the repairs 🤣

[stone glen]

Huh, never noticed that the cargo was visible without the scan button working

That is handy info

I'll probably run out of parsteel again soon once my ops finishes upgrading, I'd rather be low on resources because I keep spending em rather than being low because someone else grabbed em

[round ivy]

Is there a secret to getting military supremacy to show up or is it just cloaked? I haven't had this event in 6 months.

[uneven peak]

No one knows the criteria to get it and scopley aren't saying.

[round ivy]

Why offer an event to some but not all? I must be new around here. 😂

[dapper drum]

It is invisible, you have it so just go kill 500 hostiles and see when reward shows up

Toast doesnt work either so you wont know until you see the reward light up

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/austinpowers-drevil-mike-myers-evil-laugh-ohhh-gif-5624378

[oblique dock]

Supremacy has always been seen as a ‘you needs to be better , to be at your level’ kinda event.. if you don’t see it, then you are doing well lol

[full notch]

I concur
I haven't seen it in months (saying in my Fat Bastsrd voice)

[robust vapor]

Yeah, that's not always true either. In the past I got it after upgrading a ship instead of before.

[novel mulch]

Did they reduce the amount of parasteel we get in cow this time?

[full notch]

I have two epic ships to build and I was counting on CoW

Scopley needs to stop changing how the game is played with no notice. If you are playing football, you don't change rules in the 4th quarter.

I've been holding onto these two ships for a while

Grrrr 😡

[halcyon sentinel]

build them, the rewards arent that life changing

[weak copper]

If you’re playing football, there are 2 half’s, no quarters. Just saying 😆

[oblique dock]

No, deffo not an exact science, just a working theory as really we have no idea haha

[cunning radish]

that's nice

[earnest hornet]

Really? Does it??

Seems you promote spamming since you have it on every text channel

[orchid ridge]

I assume bull-ying is a commodore now?

Are you harrasing a faceless company because you got raided?

[abstract gate]

did you get psyched out in a game?

....therapy is the solution

[lyric steeple]

the professional help needed is WAAAY above his paygrade

[earnest hornet]

What was your name??

They don’t, but keep on believing that if you want

They don’t change a name,

[lyric steeple]

the system will take just about any name, Scopely only gets involved if they get complaints

[earnest hornet]

Um how can you not know what name you used

[lyric steeple]

sounds like it needs to be 3

[earnest hornet]

Exactly if they locked you for you name then you will know what name you used, it seems like it may have been banned for another reason??

They tell you what??

[cunning knot]

so the tard is spamming all chats?

wheres a mod when u need one

[random tide]

hes just making sure we all know he is supercereal and manbearpig
