[solemn lynx]

@nova valleyYes ticket cost

[earnest hornet]

Because the events gave point at milestone 3 & 4, so you would’ve just got points between this milestones between the fix

[karmic chasm]

Let me put my beer down and rethink this 😬🙈😂

[nova valley]

game works fine. bugs happen. you can get your stuff with a ticket. OR don't file the ticket and don't get your stuff. lol easy peasy

[nova valley]

what ya having? pass one over? lol

[solemn lynx]

@earnest hornetToo bad not to automatically compensate points

[earnest hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/beer-german-celebrate-party-gif-5579802

One for all 😂😂

[karmic chasm]

Strangely enough I’m drinking mead got a bottle the other day first time ever having it

[west eagle]

🤣 so I was missing 10 points from the event…now they gave me 4? Just wow😑

[grim cave]

Same thing happened to me just put in a ticket for it

[west eagle]

At 16? Lol I did no response yet but that number changed from 20 to 16🤣

[grim cave]

Well u have not finished mining one yet

I finished all and 10 short

[west eagle]

Yes however lol it shouldn’t be at 16😂

[earnest hornet]

They split the points from milestones 3&4

[west eagle]

They gave me 4 points for the third tier instead of 10

[earnest hornet]

That’s why it’s split like that

[earnest hornet]

And you’ll get the rest on milestone 4

[west eagle]

Okay🖖

[earnest hornet]

Well you’ll get the remaining 6 for the mining, as you’ve finished doomsday you’ll need to send a screenshot of them finished to get the finished milestone of the pt1 SMS

[eager nexus]

I am 10 points short but have completed every mission

[earnest hornet]

Info from Talking Trek:

There was a problem with the meta trigger in the 3rd and 4th milestones of the Doomsday Battle Event for the Barot Meta. Unfortunately, this was corrected AFTER many players had completed this event. If you have already completed milestones 3 and/or 4, you MUST file a support ticket to get your missing points. We're sorry for the technical issue, but it has been corrected NOW for players who haven't yet hit milestones 3 or 4. Please share this vital information with your teammates and other players who inquire as to why they may be 10 points short. - DJz

[earnest hornet]

Send in a ticket

[eager nexus]

Ticket submitted

👍👍

[eager nexus]

Ty for that info, have sent that to my alliance

[mental yoke]

Sent in a ticket a short time ago…received a gift box with 10 points for event in it. 👍

[earnest hornet]

Gift chest just released for the missing 10 points with a Officer shard 😊😊

[cedar laurel]

My chest only have 1?

[earnest hornet]

One Officer shard and the 10 milestone points are attached to it

It will finish the actual event

So it’s an extra 1

[cedar laurel]

got it, thank you!

What about Compensation?

[narrow quail]

@cedar laurel you can pay Scopley later

[earnest hornet]

No need for comp, you got what was supposed to plus an extra shard

[cedar laurel]

Come on, I wasted 15 minutes trying to open a ticket on the PC version!

[sullen barn]

i mean i'm still going to finish the mining event for its rewards, its just silly that they completed my SMS for me when i wasn't affected by the bug.

[rare lynx]

But being not biased and looking into whole one year back. Dont you think, there are too many bugs all the time? For the money people pay, the game quality could and should be higher. Look at Marvel Revolution. On start this game had less bugs and have more progaming solutions than STFC had all the time. It is like STFC was not made by professional programmers but MBA alumni with some hobbistic programming skills.

[cedar laurel]

The is no excuse for bug such as this. A simple test would have caught it. This tells me they don't do any testing at all.

[nova valley]

it was easier to do the eeveryone grant vs running queries on certain timestamps based on who was completed at what time. it's saturday. i'm sure he just wnate dto ake sure everyone was whole, and go back to his family. i don't blame him

[nova valley]

oh i know. i for one, comletely enjoy living my life of perfection.

[sullen barn]

yep, not complaining as i just finished mining and everything unlocked fine, so just a bit silly to see it.

[earnest hornet]

Well you wouldn’t be complaint if you couldn’t finish the event then??

And it’s an extra Barot shard so it’s a plus, they could’ve just attached it to a speed up or a relo token

[cedar laurel]

Just simple expectations, Imagine this is finance or medical system?

[earnest hornet]

You saying mistakes don’t happen there??

[cedar laurel]

I am sure there are.

[inner cave]

I see they removed the sarco bp’s from cosmic cleanup up event.

[rare lynx]

I collected mine

[long slate]

@inner cave

[uneven peak]

👀

[long slate]

Not sure how that translates to removed

More like delayed.

Discord propaganda at it's finest.

Cosmic Cleanup useles for me anyways

I'm level 47 now

[uneven peak]

It's not translating to removed. I'm showing that it's actually there and I've already claimed it for this week

[long slate]

Referring to the earlier post

[inner cave]

@uneven peak either that or if you already have one you can’t get another from store

[sharp slate]

Is there any mat spend based recruit event this arc? Don't seem to see one

[brave chasm]

Yea one of the 11 of 10/11

Resource deployment

[median portal]

Just to be clear. For the betrayal event tomorrow it makes more sense to betray your chosen side as you end up getting the rewards for both sides right?

[robust vapor]

Seems that there's actually a limit to the number of blueprints that you can get and then it's removed. I believe the issue is that you have some left overs from other sources, such as the old battlepass, and so by the time cosmic cleanup pays out a full set you're part way through and expecting to get another one.

[south arrow]

Anyone having this issue all events done and I’m short points

[earnest hornet]

Um this one is finished already???

[south arrow]

Yeah I finished all events

[dapper drum]

are you sure

[south arrow]

Yes

The first event did not score properly

I sent a ticket in the first day still no reply

[earnest hornet]

Then only way is send in a ticket for now

[sharp slate]

Isn't that one of the ticket events? Not like before

[brave chasm]

Im reading it from the event list in the news post thing, the ticketed ones are further down

Only a SMS at least

[sharp slate]

Oh. Thanks. Dont know how I missed that.. been saving mats for the arc

[brave chasm]

Yea same

Unless they change it last min 😭

[elder comet]

Battle debris contains 4* parts

[ripe jungle]

How many barot shards are we supposed to have after part 1? F2p I got 43

[indigo perch]

I heard a rumor that a t4 epic can take down a capital heavy with a certain crew. What is that crew?

[ripe jungle]

Rare bev(c)/skinny mudd, plus t’laan or khan on an augur.

I think ent and d4 need a little higher tier but I’ve seen people do it with t4 augur

[indigo perch]

Tlaan or khan better?

And tyvm

[ripe jungle]

Try both, max t’laan should work, high tier khan might be better

But better doesn’t make much difference, you will only be able to kill one per hull anyway

[indigo perch]

Well thank you much both tlaan and khan maxed. I just wanted to kill one. I sent khan.

Now that that one is out of the way I need to find the killer crew for 6m yellow bosses.

[serene snow]

Skinny Mudd. 😂💀

[fast tulip]

tc takeover events states 'must mine 1 iso2/3 to score in event' does that mean even if you dock with stolen cargo you wont recieve rewards at end?

[weak wedge]

At the TC-takeover Event its To easy To get Points only leave a Territory and conquer it again so i think That Must be fixes the next days. 😅
———-
You only have To dock with iso 2/3 i think thats whats is standing in the Event Description

[fast tulip]

we dont have a territory so the drop is not an option, will see in a week if im shafted out of loot 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[weak wedge]

🤣🤣🤣

[ripe jungle]

Just check your alliance leaderboard, you can click on the top right drop down to change to “my alliance members” and it will show you whether you have scored yet

[fast tulip]

weve scored in that yes, just in the text field for the event it states mine iso, no mention of raiding or armadas. but in the boxes at bottom it just says dock with iso 2/3.

[ripe jungle]

If you’ve scored then yeah you’ll receive the rewards don’t have to worry

[serene snow]

I just tested it out, and you definitely get points for docking with 2* or 3* isogen acquired through attacking an OPC ship.

[uneven iron]

Morning all: not sure if ticketed event: peak performance isn’t registering points or if I’m misunderstanding it. I have 0 points, yet I have bought 3 Fed chests twice ($60 & $80)and at least 1 augment chest.

[modest badge]

In the new classification for territories, points are scored by winning or defending. If a territory is left 5 minutes before the acquisition and recaptured, do you get higher scores?

[patent moth]

Yes u do

Do the rewards for para bellum rise at ops 42 or 43?

[desert laurel]

yes, abandoning a territory and attacking it will get you the "offensive" score if you win

[desert laurel]

the scoring looks like it's for promoting officers, not for buying chests from the faction stores. Promoting to higher tiers will cost credits and those would score

[uneven iron]

Ok, thanks

[ripe jungle]

Seems like officer xp should be much easier to score with though. Even an r5 promotion the faction credits would only score around 250k points?

R5 epic I mean

[cedar laurel]

Big loop hole in that event!!!

[ionic mountain]

Do eclipse directives count for borg barot event?

[halcyon sentinel]

no

[ionic mountain]

Drat

[halcyon sentinel]

yeah, would have made life so much easier 😄

[tender moon]

Impossible to finish when scopley has armada events before arc. This definitely is a whale event. Money Money Money.

[thorny heath]

Betrayal event .. if all rom/kling officers are maxed?.. how can i spend credits for them?

[ripe jungle]

Two epics and a rare f2p 🤷‍♂️

[hardy parcel]

I haven't had epic directives in months lol

Tell a lie, i got about 20 in my last rare box 🤣

[tender moon]

I have no epic or rare starts. So that will not be f2p. Would have to buy packs

[hardy parcel]

Doing a rare is easy. Just do 100 green ones 🤣

[tawny marsh]

Yall are crazy how do you not have epic directives ?

Well maybe cuz I never spend them lol

🤣

[hardy parcel]

Even with doing a ton of rares last month. I just don't get epic directives in the rare pulls 🤷‍♂️

I've got epic directives. Just not enough to launch one 🤣

[ripe jungle]

I never start epics if I can help it. I had three going into this arc still have one left

If you’re f2p you shouldn’t be starting an epic unless you have to for an event.

[tawny marsh]

If your a low spender you need to be frugal spending directives for critical events

[ripe jungle]

Yes it takes a month or more to get one. That’s why you never ever use them without a good reason. Last month I had enough rares from the freebies to do the events, so no epics got touched.

[uneven iron]

Yep. I would have the ticket on the mining event if I didn’t need the gas. Going to finish with 0 points.

[ripe jungle]

Kill hostiles instead I guess? What does the scoring look like, is it impossible to do with hostiles?

[thorny heath]

Will see in few mins

Nothing impossible. I thought it could be much worse)))

[golden knot]

The betrayal event. Does completing all the milestones and not claiming the token work to keep you on same side? Hopefully someone finds out 😊

[errant abyss]

one ticket event is missing after eating my ticket lol

[marsh void]

same

[formal sinew]

So are we getting back our spent tickets?

[astral solar]

I dont even know if I lost tickets as clicked as it vanished

[formal sinew]

ah now its back thanks for the scare

[rotund venture]

Why did Cosmic Cleanup event store (with franklin, sarco, etc) disappear? Always lasts two days.

[weak copper]

Will be back next Saturday anyway, so just claim 2 chests instead of 1 then

[rotund venture]

That is not the question.

[candid aspen]

If you choose Rom side and kill Klings, do the subsequent events give primarily ore and steel or crystal and trit?

[pale steppe]

If I don’t take the Exchange token, so I still get events in the same faction? Or do I get nothing unless I do the Faction switch?

[soft lagoon]

Rom betrayal not scoring

[naive meteor]

I just don't get it 😵 ?

[uneven peak]

Yes. If you do the event you switch faction for the next one. If you don't do it you keep the same faction

[vagrant glen]

DO NOT change Sela auction to ship and officer XP leave it as Trait XP! you did this last month with ultra recruits and said you were wrong to do that. Now youre doing it again! Either leave it the same or, give it out to everyone for free!!!!!

giving two to three days notice of a change and not giving people time to adjust is wrong!!!

[weary niche]

way to ruin all the planning the night before

so they just made hoarding trait xp and research a complete waste

[vagrant glen]

This change means i better get my ship xp from previous ship power event back!

@weary niche exactly

[sudden depot]

Where have they said this?

[vagrant glen]

liveops

DJz announced it

[sudden depot]

Another discord?

[vagrant glen]

https://discord.gg/ya8xtmze

[weary niche]

havent seen any offical mention yet (in discord or in game apart from DJs announcement)

[vagrant glen]

in about an hour he will go live and say it

[mental yoke]

And they need to make their announcements in game and here. Have to go to so many different places just to get basic info

[twilit gulch]

If I don't join this Event ... will I be able to chose the Klingon tomorrow ??

[uneven peak]

If you don't do the event you keep the same faction as you had first time.

[sudden depot]

Trait xp is harder to get and behind a bigger pay wall then ship/officer xp.

[copper onyx]

So... we can now Betray... thats nice.... so... is there any incentive NOT to betray? anything better to get if we stay true and don't get the other avatar? I mean, basically all they are saying is... play the first, Betrayal, and play the 2nd.... what if you choose to stay your own side????

[desert laurel]

you keep your honor

[glacial token]

If I read this I understand that u return to ur original side …but u can get/use a token to join the opposite side instead

[hardy parcel]

Ok now I'm confused.
I got the Romulan conquest token but the only event is to then immediately betray the romulans?

If you need a guide it's a poorly designed event btw

[earnest hornet]

yes the betray is IF you want to change sides and do the other faction next time round, or else you will do the same Conquest again

[earnest hornet]

if you do it a second time, as when you do it once it will show the btray for the other original faction again, you go back to the original side

[glacial sail]

Can someone help confirm or provide counter argument here,..

Costs 25 teryons to cloak a d3/legionary or 45 for ent/augur/d4. You get 65 tetryons a day. So best way to do dailies is use d3/legionary to kill player/hostiles of your ops level.

2 days you shoot 3 hostiles/players and 3rd day you shoot just 1. For total of 175 tetryons and again 195.

For most players this means trading pvp kills?

[ripe grail]

Can you join the betrayal event and just not collect the chest to stay on the same side?

[hardy parcel]

Yes i get that. I did the betray klingon mission and all i got was a betray romulan mission 🤣

I did not get a romulan conquest event which is what youd expect lol

It's just poorly thought out. Not explained and terribly executed

[mental yoke]

That’s the definition of Scoeply 😂

[hardy parcel]

Yeah, not sure why i expected anything else 🤣🤣🤣

[earnest hornet]

yes because today its just the betray, the rest of the new conquest isn't happening today

[rocky hill]

I think. The choice for betrayal or not affects the event on the 17-19th.

[earnest hornet]

the hunt the romulan or klingons is not for another couple days

[earnest hornet]

yes this

[rocky hill]

You've not lost loads of rss by chosing to betray. Its all good.

[earnest hornet]

You can do the betrayal event, claim the token, then the original side will show again and you can switch back to the original side.

So basically do betrayal once to switch sides, or twice and go back to original side

or do it the second time and dont claim the second token, so you can get the faction credits

[icy panther]

So I can do this event now:

Then another event will show afterwards and allow me to collect Rom tokens?

[earnest hornet]

yes

[sullen barn]

Sooo for the upcoming events, if i want to work with? against? the Klingons...so that my events award tritanium, i should?

[prime oar]

how does that part „spend Tokens on Kli. Officers work? Spending tokens for Kli officer shards does not count. Spending credits for kli Tokens neither.

[hardy parcel]

I think it is spend credits to promote officers

[prime oar]

@hardy parcel I can't test that, as I got no Kli Officer to promote 🙈

[hollow turtle]

I’m having same problem

[desert laurel]

no officers to promote? then kill hostiles

[earnest hornet]

Either side will give the same Rewards for the daily romulan or Klingon events, its the 3 day armada damage SLB that is different, Klingon conquest to kill romulan will give Trit and crystal
Romulan Conquest to kill Klingons will give steel and Ore.
But both those are SLB

[golden knot]

Where does the token show up for completing the betrayal event? Do you have to select it to actually betray?

[bitter snow]

Showed up in my gifts screen, and I think you just have to claim it to switch

As doing so popped up the alternate betrayal event for me, suggesting that I had switched sides

[rapid axle]

Okay so I killed all the Romulans I needed to for the Betrayal event. Got all the Kilgon Tokens, but never got the token to switch sides

how do I claim that?

Nevermind had to wait until the 10 minute claim box popped

[earnest hornet]

finish the milestones then the token to swap shows up in the gift chest

[golden knot]

Cool and people are saying you can do it again and switch sides back? 😆

[earnest hornet]

Yes if you want to the other betrayal will show up, so you can do that second one for the faction credits and claim the token to swap back or just don’t claim the gift chest token and stay with the swapped side

[golden knot]

Ah. Interesting arrangement they have set up there.

I guess they have it for someone if they make a mistake?😆

[rare forge]

Last arc I was klingon. This arc I’m Romulan. So if I want to stay Romulan do I just skip the betrayal event?

[earnest hornet]

1-You can skip it, or
2- just do the 1 event but not claim gift chest token for the swap.
3- do both betrayal events, claim both gift tokens, and it swaps you back to original

[mighty shadow]

Kinda like a double reverse? Lol

[rare forge]

Are you sure we can switch back because last time we couldn’t

[rare forge]

I see two conquest events but only one betrayal event so not sure I can switch back.

I’ll stay Romulan ➗

[earnest hornet]

Inside the second conquest event tab there should be the second betrayal event

[silent timber]

Scopely seriously needs to improve on communication with the events!

[earnest hornet]

Like seriously tho, the whole point of doing the betrayal event was to defect to the other side, so even tho the second one came up it literally says which side your going to defect to.
So if you didn’t want to swap back why do the 2nd one.

[peak cairn]

Many people don’t read instructions carefully.

[earnest hornet]

yup, 😄

[ripe jungle]

You do the second one for the credits, just don’t claim the token if you don’t want to switch back

I got two free officer promotions basically

[abstract gate]

Is there a glitch with the cloaked racketeer research? I completed it yesterday and got the new daily goals but they have disappeared today

[slim solar]

First day you get it you get 2 dailies, one of the double, one without. Second day you only get the double

[abstract gate]

Ah thanks

[elder comet]

Do I have to complete it first to get the 2nd one? I want to stay on Klingon and killing roms 😅

[earnest hornet]

Yes you have to complete it to get the second token to go back to the original side again.

[dapper drum]

having to kill roms for arms is a pita because they have 1 system less

they really need to add arms to Romii

well not 1 system less, 1 set less of 39's

not sure why terix gets 37's

[ornate geyser]

I completed both Betrayal events...was that the wrong thing to do?

[chilly venture]

Aren't all faction systems the same for armadas ? Groom Ursva and Eden for unc 39 and Denobula Gorath Terix for unc 37 ?

[dapper drum]

denobula and groombridge are UC39

eden and terix are 39/37

[chilly venture]

nope

[chilly venture]

denobula is unc 37, at least for my server 😄

[dapper drum]

I was really high when I was ranting about it the other day to my alliance, trying to figure out what I was ranting about though

thought was the lack of 39's maybe was the lack of epics

different mind set when one is sober

[earnest hornet]

well depends if you were wanting to swap sides or not, since you have done both you will be killing the same faction for the upcoming event as you did last week

[elder comet]

Barely anyone on my server was on Klingon side. The slb had maybe 15 players above 100m dmg. While romulan side had 90 players or so over 100m dmg

[cunning radish]

same for mine

[elder comet]

Also rom event gave par which we getting flooded with enough. Klingon side gave nice tri

[dapper drum]

so I betray the klingons, then accept new token to go back to klingons

as I need trit more than a meth head needs dental care

[stray rover]

Can we betray more than twice? It would be neat if we could go on betraying for ever until event ends…

[balmy cipher]

Sorry, but i am completely confused.. :( I was killing romulans in the beginning, and completed the Klingon betrayal. In order to continue killing romulans in the next round, do i need to cash in the token that has appeared in the gifts section? It's very confusing.

[night night]

Question. For the event. If we abandon Eldur today, will we be able to recapture it if we have disconnected the warp path?

[abstract gate]

Yes like what we did with SOD

[ripe jungle]

Two options. If you want to stay with killing romulans, don’t collect the token at all. Second option: collect the token, and in a few minutes or so a romulan betrayal event will show up, complete that and claim that token too to switch back to killing romulans.

Second option gives you some free klingon faction credits is the only advantage. I did both by promoting officers so it was zero effort.

[balmy cipher]

Thanks a lot 😊

[dreamy mason]

Does borg miner recruit come again this arc?

[celest cloud]

If you abandon it you can recapture it later with no issues (as it reconnects your territories), but you won't be able to launch any other TC without dropping the disconnects. So, drop and retake should be fine. Certainly was for us with Barasa on Saturday, with 2 sectors either side.

[dapper drum]

should have made event scoring, capture new territory not owned by your alliance for atleast a week

all everyone is doing, drop and retake

doesn't force anything new in territories just added an easy win to those already in

[torpid light]

Should have just reset all territories tbh.

But also needed to have stopped allowing small, fairly inactive feeder alliances being propped up by big multi alliance, whale hegemonys

[light jolt]

How does the betrayal event work? If you do it do you switch sides for the next "conquest"? Or do you get to do BOTH conquests?

[light jolt]

Yes

[weak copper]

You can do the event once if you want to switch sides for the next run of conquest events. You can do it twice if you want to revert back to your original side. Either way, you won’t get both sets of conquest events this week.

[light jolt]

OK - then I won't do it at all. I'm dual Fed/Rom (330-340M each, vs. 10M for Klingon), so I'm happy to just kill Klingons.

[weak copper]

I’m with Roms and don’t want to change so I have ignored the event too.

[arctic oak]

For the TC Takeover event, is any other server just dropping a territory and retaking for maximum points?

[weak copper]

Most are I would think

[arctic oak]

Thanks, we have one alliance on our server that arguing it is against the spirt of the game and was just wanting to see how others are approaching it 👍🏻

[uneven peak]

It probably goes against the intention of the event

But who cares? Really?

[neat mirage]

For the most part yes. But we also took some territories of the alliances around us to win the event

[wintry tundra]

The rewards are what matters. How you got there is a total different thing. Don’t hate the player hate the game.

[celest cloud]

They can always challenge you when you do it? 🙂

[neat barn]

i ignored the event last time when i got klingon sided, guess i'll forget it again this run

[bitter snow]

Hmmm, Having completed Romulan Betrayal, why have I now got Romulan Fury? Is this just poor timing of the split faction events?

[abstract gate]

Because they’re not related

Betrayal is related to conquest

[bitter snow]

shame 🙂

[sonic bobcat]

they is no klingon equiv in the calendar, which not make much sense, so yea, not related

[abstract gate]

Probably because there isn’t a Klingon officer this arc

[deep steeple]

The Klingon event gave me 1b steel tokens at every ms before now they are gone. Has the nerfbat been deployed

[abstract gate]

So will there be any other G3 G4 spend events or is it safe to use unc on things right now ?

[keen crag]

they've got to be joking with this Sela SLB

srsly?

[abstract gate]

Sela both officer and captain abilitiws are meh..

[keen crag]

Regardless of her abilities which seem situationally good but poor for an all around build the fact that the requirements are heavily weighted towards AT speedups which most f2p players will have next to none of is quite the slap in the face to anyone who was saving up resources for officer slb's in this arc

[orchid ridge]

I don't understand the concept of the new officer auctions. Whoever can spend the most lat on ship xp wins?

Has anyone found a better way to compete? Thats best i've figured

[ripe jungle]

Barot has two g3 spend events coming up

[weary niche]

well all the planning for sela event wasted

[keen crag]

yep

[weary niche]

just a ship xp / officer xp domination event now

[ashen wharf]

Officer xp aint worth it

Also thinking scopely could make a valid auction is always gonna be a let down

nothing in this game can be balanced other than solo milestones

[weary niche]

i also dislike last minute changes to leaderboard, that's 2 months in a row they've messed up peoples plans

[keen crag]

at least uc spend + mada directive spend events allowed people to save up for a period of time and have a decent chance

[dusk cape]

As an ops player lvl 24 it’s a bit unfair that I can’t research rare missions before ops 25. Also not sure when we can research epic missions. Event need to be adjusted to uc and rare for lower lvl player or bracket need to be adjusted.

[ashen wharf]

Decent chance at getting beaten like everything else $$$

[lofty ibex]

Not if you plan and save

[ashen wharf]

been here 3 years mate aint happening

You can hoard for a year and still get beaten by a whale

[halcyon kindle]

Hello, can anyone teach me what those two events yesterday where for? I thought it was to switch sides if you accidently choose the wrong one in the first ARC, so I choose to kill romulans and stand behind the klingons. But with the todays events I see I still get Romulan events and have to kill Klingons again..

[brave chasm]

This is a one off unrelated one

The conquest ones are later which will be divided by which side u decided on

[halcyon kindle]

I dont follow your sentence sorry

[abstract gate]

Pretty much, it’s garbage.

More releasing content for the few.

[native meteor]

Somethings go wrong here. Should be 70.000 per 35er but it dos only give the half of ammount

[earnest hornet]

The Conquest events which are determined by the side your on are different from the Romulan fury event today,

[native meteor]

I dont understand why Battlepassevents always being count false

[halcyon kindle]

Ah ok thanks @earnest hornet

[languid kayak]

Hmm... today's events... Lat Rush, AT Assignments, Kill borg/Swarm, Kill Klingons, Use Tetryons/Attack cloaked, Gain Power, Territory takeover (okay, this one's been up for a bit)... where is the synergy in events we used to get, lol. Absolutely NO overlap except for maybe three attacks with a cloaked ship on klingons. Time for a 3 hour gaming session just to get my SMS and dailies done. Nice balance.

[full notch]

Check this out
I just got mission key and it's recommended for level 45...I just got to level 37 last month

How messed up is that😡

Machinations part 1

Ha! And I'm all out of cloaking tokens 💩

[ornate geyser]

Yep. Happens on our server. Not a thing wrong with it...

[deep steeple]

Was there any announcements on the rewards being lowered for the romulan/Klingon event? I got over 4b in steel tokens last run but none this time

Alliance member who got 6b last time still getting 6b so it appears some lvls it's been lowered

[wintry tundra]

I went through 8 ATA rares. All success. i am now 45th in my bracket. How is that weighted towards AT speedups? Promoting Marcus to rank 3 gives me the same number of points as 4 rare ATA. And they dont come around that often. This is spend officer XP and ship XP, nothing less (what the masses wanted).

[wraith narwhal]

Hey, can anyone help with the betrail-event? I switched sides and now it says i should switch back. If i do so, am i stuck with klingons again or is there another event coming, where i have to choose sides?

[molten cloak]

Waste of server power creating the TC ALB. Could’ve gotten the same result just giving people a chunk of resources for each territory their alliance had at the start of the event.

[abstract gate]

I didn't see anything in the events announcement, but does anyone know if there will be another event for which I should hold off on spending the Cloaked Racketeer Token or should I just go ahead and spend it? Thanks!

[burnt sky]

Do you guys know if spending 5* uncommon for the ISS Jellyfish event would be accepted or is it only specific to the 3* / 4* like it says?

[desert laurel]

there will always be more events that award pts based on research power gain, and that research is worth 45k power. I'd find the first one that fits the bill and use it then so I could earn a faster rate of the new currency.

[desert laurel]

it's rare that there's an impactful hidden scoring mechanic for an event, and someone already used g5 for the jelly event and scored nothing

[keen crag]

you do 10 epic assignments that's 3m points, which is more than I can even spend in officer xp because I have no officers worth putting that kind of xp into needing upgrades. End of the day it's just another p2w SLB. Which is nothing surprising or new. Just would be nice to see some that are more available for everyone to have a shot at. That's why I liked the armada directive + uc spend slbs. As a f2p player If I saved up I had a realistic chance to unlock an officer on one of those slbs. There isn't a chance in hell I ever could with this format

just something to think about

[long slate]

Scopley has yet messed up AGAIN with this event.

[edgy helm]

I Like all the Events. They are doable.

[tall lava]

Are away teams assignments even scoring in the Sela sms? I completed a few but have not received any points.

[simple spear]

Event woulda been just fine without xp.

[scenic cloud]

Finally. Ship xp. !

[keen crag]

it has to be rare or epic I think

[tall lava]

@keen crag you are correct. I thought the assignments i completed were rare, but they were just uncommon. Thanks

[ripe jungle]

This is a different event, second run of conquest hasn’t started yet

[tardy shale]

anyone else not get points for the TC event? we captured a T1 yesterday and a T2 today but zero points

[dapper drum]

did you drop it first

just winning one you already own isn't an offensive

[desert laurel]

has your admiral changed recently?

[dapper drum]

Also why doesn't pvp give extra points in dissapearing act, takes more to beat a player than some lvl 1 hostile

[halcyon cloak]

All points from takeovers are added to the admirals points - does a change of admiral affect the scoring in TC event?

[desert laurel]

that's why I asked the question, trying to find out

[ripe jungle]

Oh my god it would be insane if someone left and the alliance lost all their points

[woven herald]

Guys, quick question: If I upgrade my Ops from 38 to 39 during the current Sela recruit event, will my leaderboard change immediately, or will it change post reset tomorrow?? I know my other events will update from reset today.

Also, no change in the battle pass payout either, right??

[uneven peak]

For the leaderboards of you upgrade after scoring you stay on the same leaderboard. If you upgrade before scoring you'll go into the upgraded one.

[ripe jungle]

Battlepass will not change, other events that haven’t started yet will reflect the new ops level for rewards and difficulty

[minor estuary]

How does one get points in romulan betrayal by purchasing login officers?

[ripe jungle]

Spending credits for officer promotions works at least

[blazing falcon]

finished klingon betrayal spent 4k romulan credits on Lnar

[oblique dock]

Lnar yuk! Haha

[blazing falcon]

yep) at least i dont need grind hostiles now)

[oblique dock]

😂😂😂

[fierce cosmos]

Description says spend normal, but the task shows rare+

[somber flame]

Really why would something rare vs epic be the same amount of points.

[fierce cosmos]

Thought they covered that with the whole 'damaging Federation, Klingon, and Romulan armadas. /shrug

Epics take 500 directives, so 35 M vs. 14 M

[waxen sedge]

It's not, because it is impossible to spend the same # of each directive in an armada.

[somber flame]

Ok, i need to use my brain before I spout off. I see what you saying.

[lyric rampart]

Why change the brackets on the armada SLB? Useless

[abstract gate]

So..the last mission from the arc is.. for lvl 45 only..
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏽 way to go $copley!

[last sun]

Nice missions we cannot do as a bp prize. Awesome…not!

[open thunder]

Arc mission hostile

[oblique dock]

At least they gave you it for later…. There was a period that you wouldn’t even get it..

[elder comet]

I just wait for these people that complain about armada events again. Especially those that do armadas today 😂😂😂

Scopely did great anyway putting ops 40 to 45 in one single bracket.

[cedar laurel]

Machinations Part 1 need a ship with warp 80? I won't have a ship that can reach Beta Niobe for a long while.

[lofty isle]

2nd part needs warp 120. Archive and forget about it for a year or two.

[cyan kettle]

so I did Klingon Betrayal the last two days and "switched sides" but today I got the Tal Shiar Purge... which is kill more Romulans. I thought I was going to be killing Klingons now. I checked and I didn't undo the Klingon Betrayal by doing the Romulan Betrayal

[desert laurel]

tal shiar purge is not related to the betrayal missions, those are part of the Conquest series of events

[cyan kettle]

ok. Thank you for the clarification

[waxen galleon]

Not purchasing armada packs for events. Way past time to introduce more ways to earn directives in game other than the ridiculous cost for the armada G4 packs in the alliance store.

[lapis harbor]

WTH

Why not just put up a sign that says PAY MONEY or don’t bother

[turbid chasm]

zactly

[fathom shuttle]

For what mission?

[ocean bobcat]

When is the next non-jelly auction event?

Most have changed to power instead of spend events

[glass estuary]

@lapis harbor don't worry once you get there the 2 step it's toa warp 120 system

i wonder who was the braindead at scopely that though doing this shit ona arc mission

[wintry tundra]

Side mission of this arc I think. Haven’t gotten to it yet.

[elder gyro]

So the token didnt work

Id like to be able to kill Klingons

[wintry tundra]

That is a regular event and has nothing to do with your token. Token events are called “conquest”.

[hardy parcel]

What the hell? The side missions are level 45?

By the time we get to do them this arc will be a distant memory

Surely this is an error?? @fresh peak

[rare forge]

I still can’t finish the one from the swarm arc 😂🙈

[weak copper]

When they don’t give the missions to everyone, people complain. When they do give the missions to everyone, people still complain. What are they supposed to do?

[robust vapor]

There is another solution.. but I'm not sure if it's really better..
They have in the past released missions that vary depending on the level of the player. So you could release say 4 different versions of the mission, and you get whichever bracket you fit within, but this means x amount of additional work to get it ready (and more things to mess up) plus you probably end up missing out on rewards that would better suit you at a later date (like would you rather sit on a level 45 reward until you can complete it, or cash it in at 35 for a fraction of the rewards?)
But yes, mostly people like to have a whinge about whatever.

[rigid gorge]

I prefer this to missing out on the missions entirely.

[cyan finch]

Rewards are g3 so the missing lvl should be maximum 39...! This is outrageous and straight on money grap

@fresh peak nice way to f*cked up something that everyone was excited fot

[abstract gate]

So when are those musical mining zones in ferraria gets a fix?

[thin falcon]

Why can’t people just archive the missions until they can complete them instead of complaining about receiving them or even more complaining when they don’t get them because their ops are too low??? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Asking for a friend

[desert laurel]

there's a limit on how many you can archive, and you're doing it for something that might be a year away. That might annoy some people

[earnest hornet]

man i had missions for 2 years before i could do them, doesn't bother me i just go do them when i feel like it and see which ones i can do.

[vapid cairn]

Will there be a race to ops event this arc?

[desert laurel]

pretty much never scheduled so you shouldn't plan your gaming around it

[ripe jungle]

The limit is pretty annoying. There’s no indicator of how many are left that I know of, so you only realize you’ve hit it when you can’t accept any more missions. I’ve been in the situation where I can’t accept new missions and I can’t do any of the ones I have either.

[bitter snow]

... There's a limit? 👀

I tend to do them as I get them as much as possible 😂

[abstract gate]

Haven't seen that since many months now. I'm ops 35 and it used to show when I was below ops 30

[bitter snow]

I have maybe 8 archived right now that I either don't want to do (faction hits) or can't reach yet

[burnt sky]

Thank you!

[hardy parcel]

Hmmm, well it's a strange idea but how about scaleable missions for these story arcs 🤣

[unreal fjord]

why is jelly event now limited to 1st place only and all in one bracket, lvl 36 has advantage over rest as easier to upgrade at that lvl, the higher levels dont stand a chance

[desert laurel]

you know g4 can be used for pts? and that 39+ earns a ton of that?

[bitter snow]

Hahaha, at 36 your spending capacity is quite limited unless you've been saving for months on end, and have ships /etc held back specially

[cunning radish]

my server has 1-2 full umlock

and 60 bps for 3rd place

[halcyon sentinel]

that might be the thing that would make me quit the game, saving up 40k uncommon, then coming 2nd 😄

if it's top 1 only lol

[bitter snow]

It was close for me, yep 😂

Just over 5m points and someone sniped at the last minute 😭

[halcyon sentinel]

gah what a nightmare! glad you survived that moment lol

[bitter snow]

Jelly service to the rescue 😂

[halcyon sentinel]

haha

[bitter snow]

Yeah, they did the patch that said "hey, we realise you want more places on your jelly events" and added a second and third place that only had some small amount of rare 3*.... Not the point 😂

[dapper drum]

last time I saw jelly event it had 10 places

1,2 full unlock 3rd was half 4-10 was 1/4 unlock

[dapper drum]

🤣

but 1st place on my server avgs 15m+

[cunning radish]

1.2 mil wow?

[dapper drum]

shows the activity of the server, and why there is only 1 unlock place

lowest I ever saw when I could still see was 11m for 1st

[desert laurel]

still stuck on 1 bp winner as well, top score is 4.7m and 100th is 51k

[bitter snow]

it's a bit of catch 22, Nobody competes until they can smash it because of limited placing, and they don't add bps to lower placings because nobody competes 😂

[vapid jolt]

Anyone know what happens if we don't take the betrayal token? Is it same Kli/Rom event as before or no event at all? The guide in-game is unclear and support have taken 2 days so far to ignore my question

[bitter snow]

If you con't claim it, nothing happens and the next series of rom-kling war missions will have the same targets as the first run did this month

if you claim the first one you get, it switches, you may have missed the chance to do the second betrayal and switch back

So. RNG had me shooting klingons in the first run, which I did not like.
So I did the first event, claimed, and should now be shooting Roms as I want to in the next run in a couple days time

If I had wanted to continue shooting klingons, I could also have done betrayal, claimed, and done the partner event which then gets shown, and claim the second betrayal and be a proper triple agent 😂

It's all clear as mud...

[vapid jolt]

I was also shooting klingons, which I do like. I did the betrayal but have left the token sitting there in gifts. Hoping I get to bash up the iliterates again

[bitter snow]

yeah, the conquest events finished, so if you don't want to switch, don't claim the token

Providing it's all working as intended, that should be the result, yes

[vapid jolt]

Oh well if that's the caveat, I'm totally screwed.

[bitter snow]

😂

You and me both 😉

[storm nacelle]

Why are you giving missions out that absolutely can’t be completed at our level. Machinations Part 1 requires warp 120 which is well beyond even my Franklin A.

[keen ledge]

This happens fairly often during arcs. The main missions should be doable, the side missions might not be. But you can save them and do them later.

[pulsar bison]

Just another mission stuck in the mission menu FOREVER! now i'm told I have 9 mew missions EVERY TIME I OPEN THE GAME!!!!!!!!! Such CRAP!

[sour jacinth]

Archive them

[uneven peak]

Put them in your archive and come back to them when you can do them. That's what the archive is for.

[copper onyx]

So I did the initial Betrayal event, and so got the option to trade my Klingon token in for a Romulan one (with 27 minutes as of now left still to use it).... and I'd assume the 2-day countdown on actually doing the token swap was 2 days to consider if you wanted to use it. But now I'm reading that if I'd used the betrayal token already, I'd have had 2 days of other events... and a chance to betray back? Colour me very confused - Option 1 makes the most sense, Option 2 sadly sounds like Scopely ... :/

[bitter snow]

The two events were running side by side

But their criteria was opposite to eachother (aligned rom / klingon)

So if you switched, you got to see the other one

They both ended at the same time, only thing that changed was visibility

Don't do it now, you won't be able to swap back

[copper onyx]

ahhh... too late....

[bitter snow]

doh

[copper onyx]

I assumed it was .... a few days of Klingon... 2 days decision... few days of either more Klingon, or the Romulan betrayal

I assume it doesn't matter? I mean I did everything I could see.... plus the event to get the betrayal token, even if I only just used it....

[bitter snow]

So, claiming the token means you'll be shooting the other hostiles when the next conquest events show up

the betrayal events ran in parallel, not one after the other

as per event calendar in the news section of the game

[copper onyx]

oh, if thats all it is... fine.... so all I actually missed out on was a way to swap back

[bitter snow]

yes

only a problem if you have strong feelings over which hostiles to shoot

[copper onyx]

6 of one... half a dozen of the other... and all that... barring the fact that the Klingons hate my guts currently (because I'm dual factioning Fed/Rom), the rep damage isn't going to affect me enough to worry about one way or the other 🙂

[bitter snow]

cool 🙂 yeah, that's how I'd like to be too right now... but soooo close to getting commended 😂 another round of shooting klingons will set me back a few days

Plus I want klingon credits...

[copper onyx]

😄

well, good luck with that 😄 👍

[waxen galleon]

Battle pass event today?

[rigid gorge]

Master surveyor

[waxen galleon]

I don’t have that event.

Anybody else’s battle pass event not showing up after cache cleared and game reset?

[storm nacelle]

We have someone in our alliance with the same issue.

[desert laurel]

what level are you?

[bold citrus]

I'm irritated by getting placed in the Klingon side of Conquest even though I'm sure I chose romulan... I first had romulan, then betrayed them, then betrayed klingon to get romulan again... Why the hell am I placed Klingon?
Am I the only one?

[weak gust]

No, i have the same Problem. Maybe we should not do the Klingon Betrayel Event

[desert laurel]

what conquest token do you have?

[bold citrus]

Seems I have the klingon, even tho I betrayed them?

[weak gust]

@desert laurel i had first the Romulan Token. Then i have done the Betrayel Event i got the Klingon Token. But because i do the Klingon Betrayel Event i got the Romulan again

[desert laurel]

the process to change required two steps: first you had to finish the event to unlock the exchange gift option, then you had to exchange your current token. You were supposed to stop with the faction token you wanted

[weak gust]

Yes, this i got the exchange Token. But after i got the Token, the Klingon Betrayel Event got Visible and i had the impression i had to Do this too. But this was my mistake.

[bold citrus]

Yeah maybe I didn't understand, it looked to me that exchanged for the romulan again.. 😂

[meager spindle]

Do I get the new cloak dailies only when having unlocked cloaking or is it ops locked?

[desert laurel]

you could have done both betrayal events, but it's that last exchange that mattered. Either you exchange or don't, and that determined your faction today

[weak gust]

Yes, this was my mistake. I do the faction again and get some ress. Thx for the help.

[desert laurel]

cloaking dailies can also change when you finish the racketeering research

[bold citrus]

Alright, I expected I'd get the token via the betrayal event (just as I "lost" the first one) and Thought by the last exchange I'd just revert back to klingon 😂

Oh well

[meager spindle]

I am asking because I don’t have any right now, so wonder if the dailies magically appear once I unlock cloaking

[desert laurel]

yes, they do

[serene ridge]

Warp 80 for new mission good job scopley ill get 2 do it in 3 yrs time

[hallow ember]

Everyone complained when Scopely didn't give the high level missions to all players. So they actually listened and gave it to everyone to archive and come back to later so it was not missed. I know they have a lot of issues, but can we give them credit when they actually listen to player feedback?

[meager spindle]

Thx! What’s the reward for finishing the daily? I wonder if I should unlock it for the Lego or not. It feels like a waste, but the new research might make it worth it.

[desert laurel]

the research is insane, you should unlock asap

[hallow ember]

My probe runs for just the hull increase went up like 40K. (edit, that was not supposed to be a reply to you)

[serene ridge]

U mean whales are moaning its 2 easy so the low levels suffer

[meager spindle]

40k from what? 1M?

Oh ok 🙂

[desert laurel]

ablative hull armor is +75% to hull hp for t1, one of the biggest research buffs in the game

[meager spindle]

Yes exactly

[hallow ember]

Sending in the Vidar with PMT would net me a quick 170K or so in 33 probe space. Now I clear 200-210K, all because of more hull

[meager spindle]

60% iirc

[desert laurel]

shield is +60%

[fierce jewel]

My event Romulan conquest is the same from a few days ago, and has the same banner that I already won, with a checkmark on it instead.
I have completed every event this arc, I thought this event would switch and let us win the other banner ?

[meager spindle]

Sooo, what’s the daily reward again please? 🙂

[desert laurel]

research materials, don't know how many exactly, but it's enough to get you going

[hallow ember]

You get the special research credits for cloaking stuff. At 34 I get like 45 and 70 or something like that for 1 and 3 cloaked kills.

[desert laurel]

the betrayal events over the last few days allowed you to switch, if you didn't then it's too late

[fierce jewel]

I got a token at the end of the last Romulan conquest, what was I supposed to do with that? I didn’t see an option to change the event

Well atleast ill get Rom credits thats what I want

[desert laurel]

that token was the trigger to determine your faction today. If you wanted to change faction from what you started with, then you should have only exchanged once in the gift section. If you exchanged twice in the gift section, then you were put back into the original faction

[hallow ember]

You are missing the point. As a lower level, you get more access to more missions than before. So yes, you can't do them yet, but before you could NEVER do them because they were never offered to you. Look, I am certainly no defender of Scopley for 99% of the choices they make, but this really seems like trying to give people what they asked for.

[fierce jewel]

Great juust great no banner. They should just display both events and let us choose like a normal ticketed event.
Instead * its this hey Switch but don’t switch too many times I guess.

[meager spindle]

I unlocked and I didn’t get the dailies yet. Tomorrow maybe?

[desert laurel]

did you restart?

[meager spindle]

Thx that helped

[bold citrus]

I love the research, now at 110% hull bonus!

[tame mirage]

Need weapon research, everything is skewed to shield and hull 🤣

[warped stag]

Defence is the best offence. #fliptheidiom

[silent timber]

Can I trade the 2nd banner for the one I am missing? Because the directions were clear as mud.

[proper quail]

daily events, only seeing officer sms. no second event. wasn't there supposed to be a research slb right now?

[abstract ice]

Yes, there was, ticked off, had plans, smh

[vagrant inlet]

You have an armada event. Kill romulans. But only one system with 39 UNC? Come on guys. You can’t be that stupid

And impossible to compete

[desert laurel]

everyone with that same event card is in the same boat as you. So it's equally "impossible" to compete, and very fair at the same time

[plucky saffron]

Has anyone noticed that those who are doing the Romulan Conquest, are being screwed in the armada SLB? The rewards are much smaller than last week in the Klingon one... in fact, those rewards are in the current Armada Hunt! How messed up! I wish they could put them back in... The armada hunt is all factions with more Ops in the same bracket... much different parameters! ragecry

[neon vale]

Lvl 34 with a dark space arc mission. And event finish rewards tied to it. Yeah…. That’s fair.

[desert laurel]

what level are you?

[plucky saffron]

Lvl 38

[desert laurel]

I'd make a bug report and cs ticket

if it was an oversight and they put in the wrong tier of rewards, they'll probably fix it

[ripe jungle]

Isn’t the event just the core missions?

[neon vale]

Nope.

Well, yes…. But the dark space mission is a core mission.

[ripe jungle]

It’s a side mission

The core was the one earlier that took 10 tokens to unlock

So if you didn’t finish the event yet they must need you to do the side as well, which kinda sucks

[neon vale]

No…. It’s the second main arc mission. Unless they changed it for this one.

[ripe jungle]

At 31 the rewards are the same as last time

[ripe jungle]

It was called a side mission

There was only the one set of 10 for the core

And then two side missions

[neon vale]

Ah. Usually it’s the other way around.

[ripe jungle]

I think usually they split the core so you unlock parts 1 to 5 and then later unlock 6 to 10

This time all 10 were unlocked together

[neon vale]

Fair enough.

Still BS. But fair enough.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

[plucky saffron]

The winner of the Klingon armada SLB last week was getting 66 unc crystal... this week in the Romulan, it's 8 unc ore... but in the armada Hunt, there is 66 ore to the winner... yes they screwed up!

[vague narwhal]

How come Klingon conquest gets a lot more mats than romulan?
1B steel token that can't be used till like ops 42 is completely useless for an ops 39

[earnest hornet]

what do you mean a 1 billion steel token can't be used?? it is not useless. of course it can, you can redeem it, Don't complain about getting billion steel tokens 😄 believe me you will need it

[abstract gate]

Are you ops 39 👀?

And you don’t need a billion steel? Are we playing the same game?

[dapper drum]

Not ops 42

[vague narwhal]

Cannot redeem it

[vague narwhal]

It useless if I can't use the token

[uneven peak]

Go to Items, then Resources. You should be able to redeem it from there

[vague narwhal]

Oh, thanks didn't know you could do that 💪

Would still be nice to have the same amount of materials in the Romulan conquest event tho 🤣

[hardy parcel]

I think the 1 billion tokens can only be redeemed from a certain level.
but @vague narwhal you'll be glad you have them later

[earnest hornet]

You can redeem them as Zoidberg says, go to your items, resources then just tap on the token you want to redeem

[umbral urchin]

My server’s Balance of Power event has been a giant failure. There has been zero change on the map. Is this the case with all servers?

[neat mirage]

Nope. We took over 2 territories of other alliances. Others did they same.

[umbral urchin]

So they aren’t just dropping at the last minute for more points?

[neat mirage]

Dropping last minute + taking some of those around us

[umbral urchin]

I thought there would be some alliance that would be courageous enough to try that, but they’ve negotiated themselves a nice little stalemate.

[neat mirage]

We had the plan too. But then alliance #2 took over a territory so we had to do the same. And now I forgot to drop one so we need another to get first again 😅

[umbral urchin]

We couldn’t even get our ally to give up their second 3* system that they can’t even afford to keep all of the services on.

[waxen sedge]

We are one of the strongest alliances on our server, arguably the strongest, and there is another alliance that holds two 3 star territories so to give ourselves a chance to win we have been picking off every territory around ours when we can, capturing and perhaps immediately dropping afterward to keep going. It is causing some turmoil among the alliances in our area of the territory space since while we don't have any issue with them we are naturally kicking them out of the spot for a week or two. However when it is all said and done we intend to end up holding the same territories we started with, so no change to the map.

[umbral urchin]

At least you went after other territories. The strongest alliance on our server has as much power as the next two combined. The third strongest is their coalition partner and feeds the strongest players to them.

No one wants to upset the apple cart.

[cunning radish]

The two largest biggest alliances have been charging through our tc map lol

[halcyon sentinel]

now now tim, dont oversell it as a success on our server, you're all allied/friendly so it's hardly competetive lol

[neat mirage]

Not with ESA. And another takeover may follow. Depending on the point situation.
Grd also took UAs territory and they are not allied. So yes there is some movement

[halcyon sentinel]

haha, no one here is interested in our server so i wont go into it, but it's the rich get richer, not a competition in anyway

scopely should have removed all owners from the start of this competition, might have made it interesting lol

[neat mirage]

Movement is there... But as always its strong against (not-so) weak...

There should be a second score mechanic to give active but smaller alliances a chance to compete

[halcyon sentinel]

maybe, just feels like a poorly thought out event

[umbral urchin]

There is. It's called pretending that mining matters.

[neat mirage]

Well I see the point in mining. Its a tie breaker to prevent equal points. But there should be a second big scoring mechanic

[cunning radish]

Yes. Because that is the point of the event. Things other than capturing territories.

https://tenor.com/view/nick-young-question-marks-what-excuse-me-huh-gif-4486363

[neat mirage]

Yes of course. And my alliance is totally fine with it. Just saying a 3rd scoring mechanic would not be bad :)
Mining isogen for 9 days straight not only uses up all my coffe but also gets boring

[drifting briar]

they could have maybe added something for the number of ships present at a take over/defense

other than that i dont know what else TC related they could have done

[ashen briar]

That'd be good... Total points time x multiplier... Be more interesting than win/loss. Even the small guys can keep sending ships and you get out of the whole offense defense thing

[umbral urchin]

I was joking about isogen mining being an adequate scoring mechanic. They should have given isogen returned to dock by warships worth more points.

[elder comet]

Imagine they would have run this event 7 days to make it equal for everyone. 10d is just super unfair.

But then you have different armada events slb. One that has ops 40-45 in a single bracket and another that has 39-41 in a bracket. What's the point to compete as 40 vs 42+?

[lost shell]

A little late to the party here... but did other servers have Para bellum?

[bitter snow]

yup

ending in 25 mins

[lost shell]

Thanks! Ours is missing 😥

[elder gyro]

This is some shady sht

Constantly running arms events

[bitter snow]

at least the last one could be completed just on UC damage

[elder gyro]

Babck to back not on the same day

Some shady sht

[bitter snow]

the bar was higher this time than the last few, but, just about doable 😄

saved rares for this one, and cloooose to an epic run as well

[elder gyro]

Still shady as fk

[bitter snow]

It's just, one more thing where to play the game, you cannot play the game on your own schedule 😦

[elder gyro]

People need to call them out on the shady business practices and stop sucking on the boot

[tawny marsh]

Easy wins for me, im a stfc pepper

[halcyon sentinel]

😄 riding on the coat tails of others i assume

[elder gyro]

Prob

Or a idiot whale bragging pretty pathetic if you ask me

[gilded patrol]

Here's Romulan Conquest SLB for Ops 44. Almost exactly the same as Ops 39

[elder gyro]

Shady business practices

[bitter snow]

Let me guess, you ran out of the directives that you got last month, and don't run UCs often enough to build up a stock?

[elder gyro]

You get 15 a day

[bitter snow]

I'm tight on them, not sure I'll manage the 75k points on tonight's event

But I'll get close

and 100 a week

[elder gyro]

4 arms a month lol

[bitter snow]

Plus CoW/Apex

if you go for the utility options...

Best way is to find some buddies and all run an armada each

plan it out

[hardy parcel]

here's an idea.
If you don't have the directives to complete the event, don't do the event at all. save them for the next one.
That's what I'll do lol

[bitter snow]

break into predetermined teams with your alliance

That also works 🙂

[hardy parcel]

or literally do one to get the first, easy milestone.

Game's full of people who think they need to complete everything immediately. It's nice but unless you pay regularly, get used to skipping some stuff.

[bitter snow]

The guy who shared this with me, is completely FTP 😂 he just has a hoarding problem

But he's also been doing the pre-set teams thing for the last 6+ months

[elder gyro]

Im not worried about me weve got whales im worried about my f2p people and i highly doubt that

[hardy parcel]

definitely has a problem lol

I'm betting his alliance isn't f2p and he tags along on a lot of madas too

[bitter snow]

nope, I was in that alliance, aaand, they were terrible at helping people out. No 2-3m ship? No chance of getting in an FFA armada 😂

But 200 rares go a long way, if you're doing 6 armadas for each one of your own

Mine is less substantial, 1k UC, 570 rare and 480ish epic at the moment

IF they do this again next month, I'll be stuffed 🤣

[hardy parcel]

if you're getting more than 5:1 that's awesome.
I also have issues with actually getting any epic directives from the chests. I swear I get some in every 10 chests or so

[bitter snow]

true, most will only get 5:1

but even then, means you're stocked up well on them over time

Oh, easy, this is a damage SMS as well

save the rares, do the UCs

Just got to find and run two...

[hardy parcel]

I'll look in game. the last event was way more than two 'madas though.
I'm running out of green directives for the first time in forever

[bitter snow]

mine is a 25m target

Need to splat two 39 UCs

with help

[hardy parcel]

yeah, 39's still take a full team for me

[bitter snow]

Epic Riker helps 👀

Oh, full team, but I do ~15m per run

[hardy parcel]

much better than the last event. only 16.3m for me instead of 88m

[sacred gale]

The today's should be the Milestone event, where you needed to start rare/epic armadas to get points like the same event last week.
But it states only "damage on armadas". I am I wrong? Will there be another event for rate/epic?
Or did they change the event, because it was pretty hard for F2P players?

[ripe jungle]

The one where you had to start rares/epics was for borg barot recruit, not the conquest events

[tardy ether]

The number of armada events, especially back to back is ridiculous

[chilly venture]

Won't there be another of those for Borg Barot ?

[sacred gale]

But we were divided in factions like in the current event. That's why I am confused

[chilly venture]

I think you are mistaken. The last faction one was damage too (but a lot more than this one if I remember correctly). The one with points for start with Rare / Epics was for Borg Barot shards

[sacred gale]

Okay, thanks. We had many confusions here ^^'

[elder gyro]

Wats it gonna take for me to get all of moreau shards

Do i gotta sell my first born or my soul ive opened atleast a million packs

I though 5 and marlenea were being added to the shard store

[waxen sedge]

Do you mean unlock Moreau or max shards?

She was one of the last of the rares in the ultra pool when I started that I maxed, her and Yuki. Idk if I just didn't get as many of theirs or if their totals were higher than the other rares that were only in that pool.

[elder gyro]

Max

Yukis been done with they must have a low chance on her

[ripe jungle]

No. Rest are g3 spend instead

Although if those are like last month I guess spending rare and epic directives will also score

[abstract gate]

Yo who gave scopwly idea to run fkin armadas like for weeks? Most of us out of dirs

[ripe jungle]

Directives not credits. I’ve never had more credits lol

[abstract gate]

Yeah lol full of credits 🤣but out of dirs lol

[earnest hornet]

why maxed, Moreau only need to be t3 to max her officer effect with pike, now for stats yes,

[sour plaza]

Seriously, how many directives does Scopely think we have? Give us a break man

And another one coming tomorrow? Jesus wept

[idle ocean]

We need an event to spend uncommon armada credits.... or we should be able to pull 6 uncommon armada chests like we do with rare ones.

[jolly gull]

The Rom Skirmishers in Klingon Conquest SLB are not scoring,even though event specifies 'For those not wishing to damage Rom Rep'..Anyone else notice?
Is it the same for Romulan Conquest??

[jolly gull]

Just tried normal Rom hostiles, thier not scoring either!

[earnest hornet]

Which system?? the event today for the Conquest is Armadas..... so which event are you killing the hostiles for??

@jolly gull If its the SLB you're killing for the hostiles only give you 1 point, so the only way to see the score is if you're seeing the score banner, because with millions of points you're not gonna see 1 point. unless you do a few hundred

unless you go into the actual lb to see your score

[lost sleet]

This armada event sucks. Wait 10-15 minutes for a new one to spawn and only one or two in each area.

[hexed lark]

<@&509691205798592532>

Seems there is an issue in game store.

[desert laurel]

what's the issue, specifically?

[hexed lark]

It's charging me more than item price. Has not done this before.

[warm quest]

It's 27.99 +Tax
That's the difference.

[desert laurel]

I see the google play popup shows that it's applying tax to the purchase

[hexed lark]

Has never done so before.

[desert laurel]

were packs always that price range?

[hexed lark]

Yes

[desert laurel]

and you've never been charged tax on a purchase?

[hexed lark]

Battle pass was $1 dollar cheaper 2 months ago lol.

Nope

Always paid flat pack price before.

[desert laurel]

does the webstore also charge you tax?

[mild bluff]

Having to work out your purchase tax costs separately! Your country is in the dark ages 😂

[robust vapor]

Isn't that standard business practice for America? 😅

[cunning radish]

i think it is - apparently their displayed prices dont include tax

how dumb is that

[ripe jungle]

Isn’t that screenshot Canadian though? I thought their gst was always included in prices.

[robust vapor]

No idea. I saw some comment about taxes being separate and that country being in dark ages, can't help but draw the obvious line 😂

[dapper drum]

before scopely released the webstore we paid flat prices

after webstore we now have to pay taxes

whatever pack was in game is what we paid

now its + tax

still wouldn't use webstore if I still was buying packs anyways, can't wait for scopely to get hacked and everyone to get scammed

can't code a game and you trust them for purchases 🤣

[ripe jungle]

In the US you paid the additional tax at time of purchase even in mobile store

[umbral urchin]

Who is the third party payment processor on Scopely’s website? I doubt that it is internal. They just have better bargaining leverage with smaller third party processors that aren’t tied to a hardware platform like the App Store and Google Play. That payment provider may be different in each country. I need to get a Scopley ID and check out the differences.

[abstract gate]

Xsolla

[sudden depot]

It’s a Russian based company after a quick Google. Processing payments for online companies.

[hardy parcel]

It's fairly popular for processing game payments (at least it is here in Europe).

[ripe jungle]

Any idea how damage done by burning scores in the armada event?

[dapper drum]

1% of hull per round

there is no mitigation or penetration for burning so its 100% of 1%

the longer the battle goes on the less effect it has as its 1% of remaining hull

[ripe jungle]

I mean how it is scored in the damage armada events currently running

Since multiple people could have brought burning

[abstract gate]

Just go with Riker captain and some more attack on the side , the bigger the shots more points.

[ripe jungle]

I was wondering whether to use riker bev Nero for eg

[upbeat kestrel]

My fellow Canadian, this just happened recently. You will notice now any Mobile game will be charging you Tax for in App purchases

[dapper drum]

over my maple syrup they will!

[celest cloud]

Not quite correct. It is 1% of the hull at start of battle.

#545958089078341632 message

[robust vapor]

That 🤔 is an excellent question. Let me know when you find out 😆

[celest cloud]

With the new changes to applying burning... will it be the first to apply it, or the last? 🙂

[robust vapor]

Possibly neither. Burn duration is not always replaced.

They thought ahead it seems 😅
Though I'm assuming it will be the same in armadas, I hate Armadas...

[earnest hornet]

Chi is correct, its not 1% of remaining hull health, its 1% of the starting Hull Health, so at round 20 its taking off the same amount it did after round 1.

[ripe jungle]

Wait really? So the new change doesn’t work always?

[robust vapor]

In the way that you would rather it work, calm down 😂

[ripe jungle]

What did you mean then?

[robust vapor]

It's possible to have burn applying abilities with different durations. So if it always took the first or last application then it's actually possible that some effects could be reduced in duration. This doesn't happen that I could see.

[ripe jungle]

Both gg and Nero are two rounds no? Who is longer (or shorter)?

[celest cloud]

Charvanek captain is 3 rounds

Airiam is 1 round.

[oblique dock]

burning does NOT stack with multiple ships burning it... as the ship is either burning or it isnt.. and correct it is 1% of starting hull per round 🙂

[abstract gate]

I used 56gg on the aug or Riker Kirk Spock . Riker gave 2.2 Mil damage at some round

56gg gave at around a million

Damage against 37 uc was 4 Mil and 39 uc around 7 Mil plus . Did not check it with 56gg

[ripe jungle]

4 mil per shot or you mean damage points?

[robust vapor]

Who's saying that it stacks? 🤔

[oblique dock]

somone mentioned it earlier lol

[abstract gate]

Damage

[ripe jungle]

That seems.. low?

[abstract gate]

Do few 33uc solos with Riker

[abstract gate]

Yes , I was with almost maxed d4 and ents

5 and 6 man crew

On a 31 uc you’ll get 11mil if you solo it. But most of us doing 37 and 39s with the team

[ripe jungle]

You get more actually, I got more than that duo’ing

[abstract gate]

Can’t yet on a 37 uc, could duel 35

[ripe jungle]

I mean you get more than 11m on a 31 uc

[abstract gate]

Whoa really ?

Can test after few days. Everyone wants in the armada now 🤣

[ripe jungle]

Yes it has 15m between shields and hull for the romulan version at least

[abstract gate]

Ahh makes sense ! Shields seem to add to the damage

[lost sleet]

Wow 20 min waiting in a system and still no spawn of last armada. This event sucks.

[quiet harness]

15 mill about

Riker ks

[loud sparrow]

Any other alliance on other servers that do not receive any points at all for defending and taking over territories in the Balance of Power events???? We have 5 territories, and should be right up there with the rest of them.... But we only receive points for the Isogen.

[bitter snow]

Have you switched admiral, and have you been dropping them to re-take?

[loud sparrow]

Switching admirals helps? We dropped them to retake, yes.

[bitter snow]

switching admirals may lose points 🙂

[loud sparrow]

No, we have not switched admirals.

[bitter snow]

odd then, I'm not sure what the criteria for scoring is exactly, not sure if you have to have a contest for it or not

[loud sparrow]

Looking at what other alliances did, there are no special criteria. One alliance with 2 territories did not drop them, just defended them without contest, and they have 400M points.

[ripe jungle]

I’d contact support. Drop and retake with no opposition scores full offensive points

[waxen sedge]

400 million wouldn't be right either though, a single 1 star defense would be 400 million alone and they probably would have at least 2 defenses by now and isogen points. Is the scoring different between servers?

[muted island]

Scoring for the recruiting SMS appears to be broken, or not explained well. I bought Fed Packs I, II, and II with creds, then used the tokens to buy shards. No scoring either way.

[waxen sedge]

Are you saying you spent faction credits on promoting an officer and they didn't score?

You have to use them to promote officers.

[muted island]

I was editing my reply. I accidentally hit enter before I finished my comment originally.

[waxen sedge]

Yeah, I see it, unfortunately nothing in the faction stores scores in this event, it is only using faction credits to promote officers. This is a known thing since they have been running the event but they haven't updated the descriptions yet.

[muted island]

To be clear, I used Federation Credits to buy Officer Recruit Tokens in the Federation Store. I then used those tokens in the Officer Store to buy shards. I got no score either way.

[waxen sedge]

Or maybe they think the description is good enough as is maybe, it could be better though.

Right, again, nothing in the faction stores will score, even buying the recruit tokens which I agree can reasonably be called spending on officers, it is literally only promoting them through the officer menu to a level that requires faction credits.

[muted island]

Definitely. Their descriptions suck big time. If it's all about using credits to promote, it should say that. As it is, it implies something totally different than that.

[waxen sedge]

Yup, the description needs work if they want it to be clear. I am not sure they always want things to be 100% clear though, haha.

[muted island]

Yeah, that's the thing, the description clearly says "Spend TOKENS on Officers" which I did. If it's supposed to be spend CREDITS on officers, that's something TOTALLY different and requires officers to be promotable in the first place, which I don't currently have.

[haughty idol]

Good morning Scopley team. The bug where "help all" only counts as a single help is back impacting the Unity event.

Work around: click each help individually until patched.

[muted island]

That's when I just used the Contribute feature instead. I finish Unity in under minute that way.

[terse summit]

Should G3/4/5 material only count on station, or on ships as well?

Okay, didn't count for me 🤷🏼‍♂️

[full umbra]

Me neither

[abstract gate]

How many shards on Borg barot yall ? Is it 75/115 after finishing all the events ?

[languid kayak]

I noticed mine only gives a +1 notification but when I look at the event points, they all counted. Double check this first.

[haughty idol]

I did prior to reporting.

will check again next time I see multiple helps, perhaps it has been tweaked already

[scenic cloud]

Oh. I see ppl complaining about "faction tokens spent = 10 points.

I am not alone then.

Oh. PROMOTE officers. Ty

[earnest hornet]

Omg 😱 seriously it says promote officers do people not read, and we had this exact scoring spend credits on promote officers about 3 times already this month and the same thing gets asked every damn time

[livid garnet]

The Recruit Borg Barot Pt2 - SMS event requires 100 points to complete. However (unless there will be another 10-point event that counts tomorrow), the description only adds up to 90 points.

[earnest hornet]

Another one….. we had this last week, 2x 10 point events today, plus the 60 point 48hr event = 80.
2 more 10 point events tomorrow = 100

If you actually look at the events in the list and ones today you’ll see that. And we the exact same last week that one ran twice

[livid garnet]

My message clearly indicated that the possibility of more events would be coming. You clearly misread - the problem is with the description - not the possibility of not getting enough points to complete.

[earnest hornet]

My point is we had this exact same event setup for Borg Barot last week, and the exact same questions about the 90 points hundreds of times…why would it be any different this time.

No need for the description it states the points you’ll get for the different events that run,

[livid garnet]

Again - we wouldn't have people asking if the description was fixed so as to be more clear.

... That's my point - please allow others to have some say in what they'd like from Scopely

[earnest hornet]

BUT if you look at the events list in game it literally tells you which events are running and that there is 2x 24 hr each day, and 1x 48 hr

[livid garnet]

We shouldn't have to go to two places to ferret out these things.

It's a suggested improvement - leave it at that.

[livid garnet]

Again - I know (and knew) what you are saying. - AGAIN - it's a suggested improvement. I'm done here.

[earnest hornet]

It says to complete the events, if you want to k ow what the events are then you go to where all the list of events are it’s not that hard

[desert laurel]

who initiated the takeover? and are you sure your admiral has been continuously admiral since the beginning of the ALB?

[elder comet]

No people cannot read. People are stupid 😅🙊
Riot Games (League of legends etc) got a discord for developers to talk about their api and such but no game support. When you join you have to read rules. Every single day there are people asking for game related help/support and think they are privileged or something 😂

[muted island]

Putting aside your obvious snarky attitude, what it says on top does not match what it says down below. It says "Spend TOKENS On Officers" which is TOTALLY different than spending CREDITS to promote officers. Yes, it's a semantics thing, but that's the whole point , it's misleading and unclear. We shouldn't have to be piecing the info together from separate paragraphs. Instructions are meant to be clear, not something you have to decipher or interpret.

The fact it was brought up last week is totally irrelevant. Not everyone reads every single comment on the Discord thread and not everyone has time to scroll through hundreds of comments to find the one comment they need. Searching did little good, so I made a new post. The fact it bothered you that I was asking about it again means absolutely nothing to me. You had the option to simply ignore my post and move on. There was no need to be rude and make a snarky comment. If you can't offer help in a mature and polite manner, then just keep scrolling. No one needs your negativity when they're looking for answers.

[earnest hornet]

Actually credits are a type of token, so…..

[muted island]

Actually, no, they're not. Tokens are tokens, and credits are credits. Funny how the English language works.

[earnest hornet]

The name of the event says promote officers, the event descriptions says to promote officers, I know what I have to do… I’ll get recruit tokens yup that’s it.

There are events that ask for recruiting officers it says to recruit officers.
This is a PROMOTE OFFICERS event.

What do you think needs to be spent, it says to spend faction credits, which is a type of token.

[elder comet]

What's the issue anyway? Who the f uses faction creds instead of xp???

[earnest hornet]

You use factions credits when promoting your officers and also scores with XP spend too,

[elder comet]

This event is a free gift basically. One click lvl up and it's done. Fastest you can get.

[muted island]

Cool story, bro!! Now maybe they can actually make the scoring descriptions reflect that. How hard is to type "Spend Credits To Promote Officers". Too bad you just don't understand the disconnect. It must be above your ability to reason.

[earnest hornet]

Also the fact that this event scoring is NOT new, we have had this for 3 years.

[earnest hornet]

Funnily enough they do say that and people still don’t understand so um….

[random tide]

dude just wants to argue

[earnest hornet]

This was an event last week it says this exact same thing and yet people still didn’t get it….

[muted island]

You're just not getting it and refuse to understand the issue. Have a day, good or otherwise. I'm done trying to make you understand the issue.

[earnest hornet]

I do understand, I understand that people don’t get it, it says promote officers the scoring says spend faction credits on officers. 1+1 not too hard. But people just don’t read

When some asks I do point out what it is, and where to figure it out. When people continue to argue the point when it clearly says what to do. That’s when I get snarky.

[muted island]

You're not getting it and I no longer care to explain it to you. Bye.

[earnest hornet]

Because it’s the same question hundreds of times every time, it’s fine that’s what I do to help.

What is there to get??

[errant linden]

His problem is that he likes to shill so hard on scopely to the point that its getting embarrassing now. You are just a player like the rest of us, you dont work for scopely & most likely never will, so you dont have to defend every single thing they do.

[earnest hornet]

Yup totally can’t defend the argument that the event clearly says what to do. So turn to personal insults, go away

[errant linden]

Just because the same questions are asked numerous times, doesnt mean you have to answer it everytime. If it annoys you so much, scroll past them & ignore.

[earnest hornet]

No what annoys me more is these comments,

Because it’s not true

[muted island]

I'm going to give this one more try...... They simply need to change one sentence from "Spend Tokens on Officers" to "Spend Credits to Promote Officers". It's a simple fix, it would match the paragraph above it, and it would finally fix the issue once and for all. I can't make it any more clearer than that. DONE. Mic drop. Gone.

[abstract gate]

Has the entire galaxy just given in to the fact that the 40+ spend event is just ridiculous but they don’t care?

Where does a new 41 get anything like the materials they need, given that if you weren’t 40 before the battle pass, you got G3…

[desert laurel]

it's overly difficult if you're a fresh 40, but the mats will come, and it'll be easier down the line

[abstract gate]

And in the mean time, who cares, another officer you don’t get to unlock? 👀

So in this arc I don’t get to unlock auction officer, AND I don’t get to unlock the mining officer.

[desert laurel]

this is an ignorable officer, the worst of the set, so better to skip some of his shards now than for a good officer

[abstract gate]

Are Scopely at all confused as to why the game is haemorrhaging players?

[halcyon sentinel]

plan better! should have saved! cant do all events! , pick one thats what i usually see people say round here 😄

[random tide]

you are where i was last arc harmonious

[abstract gate]

Or is this “lalalalalalala don’t care we’re shutting it down anyway as the reboot effectively died a death”

[waxen sedge]

I'm sure they have better metrics on if anybody is leaving than however you are coming to that conclusion.

[desert laurel]

they've offered an alternative to slbs that you're probably going to do worse in

now it's just on you to pick the officers you go in on, and you'll get them

[abstract gate]

If I get no officer at the end, and given their awesome efforts at making the officers available to you afterwards, what odds is it if I’ve got 1/115 or 114/115?

It’ll be 2023 before I can pull him in a chest anyway.

[desert laurel]

this is guaranteed completion if you have the mats

same as the last borg

[abstract gate]

Yeah, the last Borg they heard loud and clear the 40+ economy screwed it for new players to that space.

But… then they got drunk, slept, did a line, whatever.

[desert laurel]

yes, so you had warning to what laid ahead

[abstract gate]

And we’re back to the same thing.

[waxen sedge]

These officers are far more obtainable for 40+ players imo than they were as auctions, at least on my server. I scored 6 million points in the last 3of10 auction for (I think) 60 shards and am 21 away from unlocking with no idea if/when I will ever get the rest. That amount of materials would unlock 11of11 3 times over.

[abstract gate]

On our server there’s nothing like that competition in the 40+ bracket.

[desert laurel]

just skip this one, borg barot is not good, do the next officer and you'll be fine. Guaranteed officer finish every other offering is pretty good

[abstract gate]

His officer ability is trash I give you but mining crystal faster is always good.

Very close to just binning the game though.

They’re not listening / don’t care.

When I sat in a company that watched “the smaller customers” walk out the door, they were insolvent before long because they didn’t have enough big customers to carry the bill. They want to think long and hard how many $300/month players they can lose before it starts to have an impact on their ability to deliver.

[desert laurel]

either that or you're in the minority that dislikes this system over the former SLB-only one

[abstract gate]

Not at all, I just don’t get how the 36-39 is comparatively insanely easy.

Like, massively so.

[desert laurel]

the game is harder in some ways as you level

[abstract gate]

Yeah, harder.

[desert laurel]

so use what you've learned on the way there to make it easier

[abstract gate]

But there’s a difference between “spend 600-700 G3 and run an epic armada” and “spend 5k G4 and run 10 epic armadas”

[waxen sedge]

I think the problem is if you are brand, BRAND new to 40+ you haven't seen a high scoring auction yet. Were you 40 for the Picard/Wesley one between arcs with the Jelly Refit?

[abstract gate]

No, worse - I was 38 at the start so my battle pass and events didn’t give me any G4.

[random tide]

that happened to me last arc harmonious

[waxen sedge]

39 and lower auctions were a joke, I had an unbroken streak from Harry Mudd through Picard of getting every new Epic officer to T2 from auctions just from saving and spending during them, some spending to get those materials sure, but never a pack for the auction itself, just saving what I got from whatever source and spending during the auctions. Since 40+ there have been epic officers I haven't unlocked at all and in cases where I have it's just barely and T1. Also that is with multiple times buying packs during the auctions solely for stuff to spend in the auction.

[abstract gate]

So the event is asking me to spend materials I shouldn’t really have in the quantity I have, having not given me any, with no sensible option to do the other way around it with armada directives.

[random tide]

i went from 39 to 41. was stuck on g3, but i was forutunate to have been 39 enough long enough to do para belums and jelly brawls

you shot yourself in the foot not prepping at 39

[abstract gate]

I shot myself in the foot thinking a leopard would ever change it’s spots.

They don’t care, they never have and they never will.

[random tide]

nah, you could have been somewhat prepared for 40+ if you had prepped at 39

[desert laurel]

they care, the current system is the result of that. It's just that you want something different than most

[abstract gate]

I am somewhat prepared. I’ve got the gas, ore and crystal to smash through Academy, R&D and Shipyard.

But that isn’t enough.

[random tide]

you were not prepared. you didnt get any of the g4 res events at ops 39 that would have prepped you for a spend event in 40

[abstract gate]

In a week’s time they’re gonna do this allllllll over again. And I don’t have any more D3s or Mayflowers to throw this time.

[abstract gate]

Read my post again, bit slower.

[random tide]

i did read it

and i stand by what i said

[desert laurel]

you should skip that event too, you are not prepared to complete them, and your prep at 38 was insufficient to prepare you for the 40 game. 39 shouldn't be skipped so quickly

[abstract gate]

I’ve got 8k Unc ore, 10k unc gas and 6k Unc crystal.

[random tide]

thats pennies

10k unc gas will get you a couple docks

[abstract gate]

Any one of those is pretty much the last milestone.

[random tide]

you get 10k unc gas in like 2 para belums

[desert laurel]

so you have the mats already? what's the problem?

[abstract gate]

But as was the case last time… you can’t spend it because you need commons, steel…

[random tide]

he just wants to complain

[elder comet]

I don't know a single 40+ that hadn't scraped at least one 26 faction ship and the arc events gave so much 4* uc cry.

[random tide]

you shouldnt have pushed passed 39 then. if you have unc but not the par, then you were ill prepared to ops up and compete

[desert laurel]

with how much steel the game's giving out now, that problem will be solved soon enough

[abstract gate]

I had 200k lat.

[elder comet]

You mean 12 of 12? 😂

[abstract gate]

Unfortunately commons use quite a lot.

[waxen sedge]

My take on things, and I am not at all an authority on this, it's just my observation, is that 40+ used to be a place you didn't want to go at all if you didn't spend. Now, it's a place you can go to and do A FEW THINGS without spending, but you have to accept that it's not everything. And depending on your perspective it may not be much things.

[desert laurel]

they're totally out of borgs! could be anything at this point

[random tide]

borg barot will be in the event store next month lol

[abstract gate]

But I can see we’re in the “I had problems last time, wanted sympathy but now want to be a condescending little nobody” corner today, so I’ll leave you all to it.

[elder comet]

I rather want the borg gas officer where they only had an slb for ....

[random tide]

i had problems, sure. but i didnt go on a rant about it. i came in said it was bs and said id find a way and i did

[waxen sedge]

Hmm? I don't recall myself ever complaining about the events at least. I am ecstatic by non-slb sourcing.

[random tide]

hes talking to me

[waxen sedge]

I bought two packs to come in 5th for Sela, lol, and have no idea if I will unlock her. I have no doubts about 11of11.

[random tide]

i bitched last month, djz has brought me up multiple times as an example. but i found a way in the end to get worf and 4

[waxen sedge]

Ah, ok.

[random tide]

but i didnt bitch this much, i said like 2 sentences and moved on

[desert laurel]

did you get enough mats over the month to do this one f2p?

[random tide]

oh i have plenty

i have like 20 to 30k of each

no complaints this month

[desert laurel]

sounds good then, his problem will be temporary

[halcyon sentinel]

idk he was telling anyone with complaints about change to the event that wanted ultra recruits they should have planned, so same to him!

boots on the other foot now lol

[random tide]

not all from the last month but a sizeable chunk is @desert laurel

best way to prep for this new style is sit at 39 for an arc or 2 and do jelly brawl and para belum

then 2 days before an arc, ops up to 40.

during that arc, spend on your jelly while you reap the bp and events for the next arc where youll spend on buildings to go to 41

and also buildings at 41.

continuing arcs, youll have to alternate spending on buildings, research and ships ta make sure you have a place to spend the ore,gas,xtal

42, you can get a faction ship to spend on or keep spending on research and buildings. but its completely doable as a new 40. just has to be properly planned like everything else

and harmonious should have learned from my mistake last month. he knew what was coming, i didnt. and he still didnt properly plan

end of rant

[elder comet]

I sat on 39 for a little over 20 days. Now on 40 since 11 days. Plan is to get to 41 after some researches bit every building requirement is met already 😅

[elder comet]

Or you just keep jelly, skip 42 and get a 46 ship :P

[random tide]

thats what im doing

thats why i said "or"

some people want to get the 42s

[elder comet]

I could probably still get a 42 ship even tho i do f2p

[random tide]

the valdore isnt a bad investment because of how the game helps you with the jelly

you constantly get everything you need to work on a valdore

plus its rom, so helps lead to a pilum

[elder comet]

Well if it will be a valdore the 46 ship must be pilum. And I am undecided between korinar and pilum. I rather tend to korinar because of research advantages for explorers

[random tide]

pilum is arguably the best ship in the 40s

it has the best firing pattern of every ship in the game

[elder comet]

So if everyone is going pilum a korinar will bash them :P

[random tide]

nah

7 shots in the first round when there are so many front heavy officers. doesnt matter what ship you are, you get eaten

lorca, worf, harrison

worf, harrison, fat mudd

kuron, fat mudd, harrison

any combo of them

you do so much in round one that you can one shot ships

[desert laurel]

too bad it's rom, I have a lot of klingon interceptor research

[random tide]

thats the best part tho! because its rom, it gets a large boost it its hull and armor.

so its got interceptor dodge and big boost to hull

[waxen sedge]

Sarcophagus is better

[random tide]

lol, um no

[waxen sedge]

Best 1st round of any ship, yes.

[random tide]

i didnt say that

i said best firing pattern of every ship. which includes surviving to fire its kinetics more than once 😆

7 shots every other round with 3 in the inbetween rounds. gotta love that. and the 4 shots are kinetics. so crit builds hit so hard

sarco has one of the worst firing patterns in the game with the exception of round 1

[waxen sedge]

Again, Sarco is better in this regard, but of course useless in most things in the game.

[random tide]

in one specific situation, yes, the sarco is better. but you go ahead and fly that thing around. ill fly a pilum.

[waxen sedge]

Its like 8 or 10 shots (can't recall) from a 2 recharge and 3 recharge weapons all in one round.

[random tide]

10

4x2 kinetics, 2x2 energy

but its pattern after round 1 is garbage

[waxen sedge]

Well, after round 1 the pilum settles in to the same pattern as the Kelvin and other ships. The reason it's better is it gets started one round sooner.

[random tide]

yup

the tie breaker goes to its round 1

the sarco loses cuz all its got is round 1. and that only matters if you can make it to a node in an active takeover

those flying bricks are pd heaven. watching them slowly trudge along to a node with every ship in sight gunning for it cuz its weaker than tissue paper

[desert laurel]

they work on mining nodes too, so getting to a spot it can set up isn't so bad

[random tide]

i know

notice how i said "node" and not a "capture node" cuz #AllNodesMatter

but even then, i watch them go poof on all nodes.

honestly, that ship shouldve gotten cloaking before the others

[waxen sedge]

Sorry, I was sort of trolling anyway, the Sarcophagus isn't really a ship to compare anything to

[random tide]

i figured

i just wanted to make sure those backreading dont get hyped on a sarco

[vital drum]

Is it me or does this just not add up?

[cunning radish]

https://tenor.com/view/monica-raymund-gabriela-dawson-eye-roll-ugh-sigh-gif-10924070

it's almost as if the event runs for two days and there will be another one with 10 points tomorrow.............

[vital drum]

The Sarco is brilliant, it's just that it's brilliant only in a very specific set of circumstances. You want guaranteed points in a takeover? You got em. You don't? Don't bother.

[vital drum]

Yes, and tomorrow's event - eclipse - is already in the list. So, smartass, why put that in the listt and not a "possible" other event?

[cunning radish]

wait and find out

event already ran a week ago and was fine
