[abstract gate]

There’s a ton of good research in that tree and it needs the service medals or whatever they are.

[wintry tundra]

Why? Do them all. If you don’t need the stuff sort by strength and take the one from the right. Any chance greater than 0% is good enough especially if you never use that officer.

It is not like running those uc and commons costs you anything than that the officer is unavailable. So if you don’t us e him/her anyway put them on ATA.

[viscid sinew]

It costs 5 minutes of my time every day

My time is valuable. Sure 5 min isn't much, but when other chores in the game takes hours there just isn't much time left for luxury chores. YMMV

Many things in the game i just don't do, for the same reason

[abstract gate]

Your dailies take more than 5 minutes.

That’s literally the worst excuse I’ve ever heard, and on this Discord, that’s high praise.

[viscid sinew]

Yes, typically a couple of hours

[abstract gate]

So while your ships are flying around doing “stuff”

Do ATAs.

Easy.

[viscid sinew]

True, if it pops up in my mind to do tjem

It's a game, not my job

Checked, for fun, the store... One pack available with ATA speedups... They want $122 for it 🤣🤣

And while you can laugh about 5 minutes, there is a lot of stuff in the game that takes "only" minutes to do... But it all add up.

Parts of gameplay I have just decided to ignore, for my own sanity.

For long, grindy games like STFC, that is what I have to do. If I don't, I burn out and quit.

What is easy is a relative term

[desert laurel]

if you're not completing everything, then it should be easy to accept that you won't be completing the overflow either

[dapper drum]

it should be

doesn't mean it will be

too much entitlement

[desert laurel]

ATA isn't meant to be done only on the days you want to, it has to be done every day, so that when the mission finishes, you'll have them finish in the timeframe needed for event cards

[dapper drum]

thats been known forever

send out the max and let them stay ready to collect if event coming up

[desert laurel]

those that fall out of those windows, need speed ups if you're still in need of pts

yeah, that's even better if you want to plan for events like SLBs

[dapper drum]

which I don't 😂

I just always have 12+ ATA going on as a habit

and when events do roll around 3 or 4 of them are sitting ready to collect as I forget to check them for days at times

[coral niche]

When AT was introduced I only saw them as yet another time sink. But I do like the puzzles and the gambling aspect. It helps to have many maxed rare and epic officers though.

[dapper drum]

don't need good officers

there are a few ATA though where the crit rewards would merit an officer you might use because of their trait

otherwise spam them with your uncommons that you don't use even below decks on a 5th or 6th ship

all my officers on ATA's

lowest one out atm is 60% which is still high for my avg, normally they avg 40 to 60% when its all rare/epic ATA's

[modern estuary]

spend event not scoring

oh now it came through man big lag

[ivory yoke]

Terran event: spending materials on upgrades - but upgrades on my ISS Jellyfish and Meridian not scoring. Really? Tested upgrading the D3 and that scored! In the description of the events, no mention of having to spend on Faction ships... Support still haven't responded... That's Scopely making things "enjoyable"... 😤😤😤

[desert laurel]

what components did you spend on?

[terse summit]

I upgraded two parts and both counted. So either lag, or you upgraded components that don't need UC stuff

[ivory yoke]

On the ISS Jellyfish was the red matter torpedo and cargo hold.

On the meridian don't recall.

(at T3 on the jelly)

[robust vapor]

Well at T3 installing the T4 components, doesn't look like the cargo bay should give you anything (uncommon parts, but only common gas/ore). Red matter torpedo should have given you points though.

[desert laurel]

what is your current score in the event?

[ivory yoke]

424,9k.

But already spent in other stuff, in the meantime.

[desert laurel]

there's nothing yet that indicates you've spent more mats than what the pts show so you'll need to go deeper into this by finding out the cost of buildings/research you've done and calculating the score from that

[ivory yoke]

(and my actual numbers are a bit lower than these because of all the research economy related bonus)

Still waiting on support response. Maybe they can clear that up.

(thanks)

[rotund venture]

Hello. Do we have any idea if g5 resource spending will be added to Jelly pursuit event?

[dapper drum]

no

that event starts for people at ops 36

having g4 involved already unbalances it

[rotund venture]

I wasn't asking you, but thanks. If any actually knowledgeable ppl would be so kind to let us know if this is something that will happen in the future etc, would be great.

[burnt trench]

as if anyone who does know will answer that with a straight yes/no answer

[vivid gyro]

I was going to comment about pursuing a jelly while in g5 economy. But hopefully that’s not what is going on. 😬

[burnt trench]

2 reasons to do that, either as a completionist he failed to get it, or he intentionally wants to scerw players over who want the jelly to progress

[vivid gyro]

I can see the completionist side.

I did ask CS last month when the new research was released. Am ops 39, bought packs for prime. So g5 spend. Was told there are no roadmap plans to add g5 to jelly pursuit. Because of the imbalance. Like darkprince said.

[burnt trench]

indeed, g4 is already hard enough to compete with, last runs on our server went to 6-8m points

[wicked arrow]

Or there is a shiny new (relatively) Prime Officer research that uses G5 that they were waiting to start/buy

[vivid gyro]

That is a fair point as well. Which is wait I asked CS about last month.

[hardy parcel]

g4 makes sense to me though. the longer you go without winning an event the easier it is score

[terse summit]

Why asking here in an open forum if you can't stand the answers? 😂

[hardy parcel]

Reminds me of a old colleague.
Will ask everyone the same question until someone gives the answer they want to hear 🤣

[rotund venture]

I got precisely the answer I was looking for. Not sure why you are filling this 'open forum' space with pointless gibberish tho.

[hardy parcel]

Do you even social media? It's 99.999% "pointless gibberish" 😂

[uneven peak]

That's a conservative estimate

[terse summit]

Bonus refinery coming 😍

[ember harness]

Bonus tomorroq

Whoops didnt see that lol. Just strsight up posted

[elder comet]

Has been known for 5 or 6 days already 🤔

[neat barn]

ohhhh, i did not know

[little salmon]

@neat barn me either

[tender yoke]

What do you do about someone harassing you in a server

I started new today, and this one person has been on such an ego trip

[dapper drum]

block them

[tender yoke]

It’s to the point that even tho they’re block you can still see the drama happening and unfolding

Because they’re chatting at everyone

They’re blocked for me

And I’m new, first day, so I keep chat open to ask questions

It’s just been a really bad experience

Sorry I read this chat wrong. I thought it said vent chat

I’ll see myself out

[dapper drum]

Just have to convince everyone else to block them, every game with a global chat has this

[polar belfry]

What is on the scheduling for holiday events

[dapper drum]

Data mining

[hardy parcel]

I think it's the base raiding one. just to get into the spirit of giving 😂

[hardy parcel]

🤣🤣
Well you can vent here, everyone else does

[icy panther]

Will the Bonus Refinery for 4* give all Commons? Because that’s the bonus we’re all looking for…

[hardy parcel]

Just use the normal refinery or lat for commons...

[faint python]

Did an intern make this Christmas event/store? Gift section is all screwed up, half the items don't tell you how much you get "Federation Credits" Oh good, 1? 1 million? 1 officer worth buying shards for and no Stella BPs.

[twin hollow]

The extraction event doesnt work...

Someone With the same problem??

[vague breach]

Aren't origin armada the ones that don't spawn quickly?

I think the store intern was given keys to the event generator 😄

[tawdry geode]

Is there an event store? It's still not showing up for me.

[vague breach]

I think he meant to say where you claim event rewards, in the same spot as your 10 min, 4 hour chest, and so on

[ripe briar]

I don't think it's the event not working it's the servers being really slow. Got my points after a few minutes.

[vague breach]

^

[paper venture]

So we get the terrible TC armada event again…..great.

[molten cloak]

It’s like they got the office cat to sit on the keyboard and chose the event store.

[tulip stump]

Awww no Stella BP's in the event store

[ornate geyser]

Skipping the disco event, again. Just a waste of time.

[narrow rampart]

Another holiday with the avatar and frame available only for the biggest, most powerful alliances…

Way to go, Scopely. Very Christmasy.

[quaint rune]

So, given that you can get 50 Meridian BP with the Christmas event store… think there will be a “half Meridian” unlock pack? Because the Meridian packs have always been full unlock… (unless the Meridian will be back in an event store in the future)

[olive spindle]

12 ops levels and 300k more powerful. What could possibly go wrong with an open pvp event? And, why doesn’t vemet work?

[prime oar]

vemet works only if shield is depleted first

[olive spindle]

Ahh. Thanks.

[elder comet]

There will be a next year Christmas event store ;)

[olive spindle]

Not to mention the complete lack of territory armadas because they’re simply not generating. Give your programmers a pink slip for Christmas.

[red crater]

Member event for Harrison? I member…so awesome he’s behind a paywall now

[abstract gate]

Cheaper than any auction for him.

[haughty grotto]

Good grief - The latest turf war event may be the most ridiculous ever - quite a feat given Scopely’s history. It’s a choice between finding impossibly scarce armadas, or wandering aimlessly through hostile territory looking for impossibly scarce discos. The only winning move on that event is not to play.

[abstract gate]

Best Christmas present ever.

[abstract gate]

Your server must be awful. Took me minutes.

[red crater]

Eh, disagree. Saving mats is a thing for me. 5 shards away is irritating lol

[abstract gate]

Maybe so, but then you’re stuck for the next auction, or the next one, or the other one, or you’ve held your progress for so long that Harrison is the least of your worries.

£45 for one of the most useful crew in the game is a massive bargain in my eyes; that same £45 would barely get you placed in most officer auctions and you’d be hilariously low in Jelly auction.

[abstract gate]

So is there just not going to be vidar and dvor blueprints in the Christmas shop?

It'll let me buy meridian bps and discovery bps but there aren't any dvor or vidar bps

[versed stirrup]

Hi, what's the respawn time for territory armadas (Event)?

[ashen linden]

Whale and dolphin bait disco event merry Christmas to you too Scopley

[valid quiver]

Test

[abstract gate]

I don’t get the hate of this event. I’m at best a loveable manatee and get it done in a half hour.

This time I did it in 5 minutes in a single hull 🤷🏻‍♂️

[wicked arrow]

Just post in GC that you want to fight in one of the Beta systems. We had everyone show up in Thaylen Beta. If you're weak use Vemet and get 2 points per Disco, if you're strong kill the weak ass discos

[haughty grotto]

Thanks for the advice, but I despise pvp. The event should have a doable non-pvp alternative for those of us who don’t care for pvp.

[abstract gate]

@haughty grotto can we who despise PvE have pvp alternative for all those PvE events

[wicked arrow]

What's to despise? Either hunt or just send your disco, watch it explode, repair and resend.

[haughty grotto]

What part of that process is not despicable?

[abstract gate]

Oh go farm the ville

Can we have a tissue over here...a tissue please...attention, attention, crying hoarder in aile 7...

[sacred holly]

@abstract gate Are you really mocking him for not liking pvp in a no skill game? Really? Go play a real pvp game but my guess is you wouldn’t be very good.

[abstract gate]

Yes I am...And no, I wouldnt be...I like my PvP where I can beat you with credit card

[hardy vector]

I believe they respawn sometime next year

[haughty grotto]

That’s exactly why pvp is broken in this game. Imagine playing, say, Monopoly, where a player can buy any property he wants, whenever he wants, just by breaking out a credit card. It would make the game pointless.

[sacred holly]

Yea it’s stupid. I could drop a mil on the game beat everyone on my server but I actually have achieved high rankings in other skill based games. I’m not that pathetic to think buying my way to the top means anything

[haughty grotto]

Maybe if the attack range were set to plus or minus 5 or 6, so you are playing with players more in your general range. The current range is ridiculous. Where’s the sport in blowing up 2 million power ships with 50 million power ships?

[abstract gate]

My lord, the salty tears are pouring tonight.

So many people that think their game will end if their ships get blowed up.

I blow mine up for fun 😂

[sacred holly]

I couldn’t care less if my ships get blown up. His mocking was the problem so mocked him back :^)

[haughty grotto]

As the old saying goes, “Those without a valid counter argument will resort to name calling and mockery.”

[ornate geyser]

Dunno. But pretty sure it's measured in days.

[weak copper]

But it’s disco PvP, a pretty weak fighting ship in general. And just because a ship has a higher power number doesn’t necessarily mean it’s actually any good.

[ornate geyser]

On our server it turned into a whale alliance camping the warp entry point and killing everything before you could respond.

Complete waste of time.

[uneven peak]

Then go to another system. Contact alliances you're friendly with and arrange to meet them, trade kills until you're done.

[ornate geyser]

Waaaay to much work. But if that works for you, have at it! 🙂

[bronze hull]

last time the event rolled around the half-dozen or so my alliance could keep track of all respawned within 22 hours, with the fastest respawns being about 14 hours

[wicked arrow]

Use Vemet and get two points. The cost is worth it.

[cyan folio]

How does one "exterminate"if they have no Disco and territory armada respawn timers are so long?

[ornate geyser]

Been there, done that. Vemet doesn't get me the 2nd death.

[sullen barn]

avoid disco's using Harrison, Marcus, etc.. you want your shields to go down before you go boom.
i've managed to get 2nd and 3rd deaths consistently against players smart/nice enough to crew in Vemet's favor.

[vital drum]

PvP on Christmas day? Okay that's just stupid. Especially with armada spawn rates so bad.
Honestly

[desert laurel]

it was fun before the crew was figured out

[ornate geyser]

Exactly this.

Screw it, not playing.

[abstract gate]

its fun pvp around the same level. not fun if u r level 30 vs level 40!😆

[celest cloud]

Doesn't work when most of the server is using Harrison or TOS Uhura - your shields will never deplete.

[trim ruin]

No chance they could give us a chance to get even 1 shard of Harrison without paying $50... I only need 1 more!! Not even in the holiday event store

[rotund crypt]

Anyone know when crucibles of war begin?

[tender plaza]

So, what's the best thing to grab for an ftp player lvl 27. I'm leaning towards the disco bps as I'm still trying to get my Vi'dar and Franklin via cosmic cleanup. But... I'm not sure I'll ever get a shot at the meridian outside of events like this. Would the faction credits just be better?

[elder comet]

3rd or 4th January ~

[desert laurel]

meridian saves a bunch of mining time and worth starting toward. Faction credits are quite abundant f2p from other sources, it'd be wasted to use your few holiday credits on those

[tender plaza]

@desert laurel - so meridian over disco? Are there other events where I can get the other 50 bps or will I be waiting till next Christmas?

[wind fog]

Idk, cosmic cleanup event is not guaranteed, we’ve had months without it. If you need disco, get the disco. Meridian is useless until you’re ops 34 or higher. The tiers are ops-restricted

[brittle folio]

still no sign of an event for new weapon skin?

[nova gazelle]

Merry Christmass all.
Am I the only one who think that territory armadas respawn time is just a joke, especialy when they put an event with this?

[desert laurel]

yes, meridian over disco. There's no reason to believe Cosmic cleanup will cease to be a regular event during bp seasons. And meridian is something that can save a ton of time when the raw iso amounts needed for your refinery are so high. I need so much iso now that my plan is to get multiple ships so I can mine even faster

[elder comet]

Cosmic cleanup is almost guaranteed. But you get disco one way or another. However Meridian is superior imho. Even if it's t1 is waaay better than any other ship for iso mining and higher tier doesn't significantly increase the speed. Also lower ops require less iso to refine so everything is fine with having lower tier.
The territory researches are definitely worth it!

[red trellis]

Am I missing something why do I get points in turf wars SMS but not in SLb when it is the same condition for points

[paper venture]

Tc armada events blow

[sullen barn]

look closer at the disco pvp in beta scoring for both

[red trellis]

Yeah noticed probably the minus points

[gaunt inlet]

The respawn rate for Origin Sector armada targets is totally UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! Those particular armada targets should be respawning at the same rate as ALL other types of armada targets. For example: Federation, Klingon, and Romulan armada targets appear to respawn at least 5 minutes (approximately) after being destroyed.

Also, earning negative points in any event is also unacceptable and unfair gameplay, especially if the event involves PVP battles, win or lose, only positive points should be awarded.

[neat barn]

they told me 15 minutes in here during the last event, not even close to that

[vital gyro]

no cosmic cleanup this week? :/

[glass storm]

It is scheduled for today....

[untold pendant]

Rip cosmic cleanup

[lime raft]

The Grinch tried to steal Christmas by taking down Cosmic Cleanup but we'll get it back shortly!

[vital gyro]

awesome, thanks! 😛

[untold pendant]

That is wonderful news, thanks!

[gray nimbus]

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays! As a low level player (18) What would be the best use to spend Holiday event tokens on? the Epics seem tempting but I am not even close to any of those. Faction tokens seem to make the most sense? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

[brisk shuttle]

FH event on Xmas day 🤣 thx scopely

[elder comet]

15-20min is respawn time for normal uc. Ds uc takes some hours so does origin space

[elder comet]

Your last block. Don't come back when people abuse the positive pts only events.. this is actually the reason why they made it that you can lose pts to stop exploiting events...

[covert heart]

??? i see Retrieving everywhere now

[devout obsidian]

You guys suck for putting up a grinding event on Christmas day. No one wants to be online all day grinding hostiles for all 3 factions on a damn holiday. Especially when the event store is garbage.

[terse summit]

Someone know why the rewards for FH are different? Fed/Rom are lower than Kling - with me having lowest rep for Kling if that's the answer (for which I would assume the higher the rep, the higher the rewards and not other way round)

[covert heart]

its a grinding game afterall

[terse summit]

Tbf faction hunt in this iteration is the easiest compared to the others, because hostile points scale better

[abstract gate]

Then don’t. Easy.

[abstract gate]

Hit one 49 each system and event done - if you still can’t do a 49 then 41 or 40s for you

[elder comet]

The duality event is still running. Otherwise it's some leftover from duality event that they (devs) forgot.

[elder comet]

You realise different ops lvl requires different amount???

[abstract gate]

Ohh true - mine is ops 36 and 188k to t4

One 49 gave 280k or so

[abstract gate]

Oh noes, at Ops 41 you have to hit two of each 😱🤷🏻‍♂️

[elder comet]

Yup but I just need to kill one. There is a way you can do the same npc and get two wins :)

50+ needs 40m pts 😂

[molten glade]

the respawns of the territory armada's is way to long.. ppl cant finish the event with them the way they are.. they should be the same as the ones out in galaxy

[elder comet]

Just do PvP as everyone else

[rotund crypt]

You're awesome, thank you.

[molten glade]

not everyone has discovery's

[elder comet]

Then skip the event.

[runic lantern]

Not sure what lvl you are but 2 trader ships in each capital system and I was done. Easiest faction hunt ever.

[shut delta]

Three for each faction saw me finished.

[ionic tartan]

You all do not give enough time for events to be finished for people to complete them and this is very disappointing especially when they would like to be able to get shards for certain things

[abstract gate]

Which are you struggling with?

I ran out of stuff to do about two hours after reset, and that included an hour of arguing with a four year old.

[neat fern]

Will we be getting the extra bp points today scopely promised us to finish off overflow, after the farce event away teams.

I’m about 21k short with 1 event left

[robust vapor]

Reading what they posted about it in #⭐-official-announcements they were to provide the extra points during the second ATA battle pass event, so you should already have them (unless you didn't complete the second one also).

[green cape]

Where is the good stuff in the event store? It's total garbage with nothing worth getting. Even the newbies who don't have the basic ships on offer can only get half of one. Where's the skin shards, cloak shards, new borg officers that so many of us are 1 shard away from, etc.? This is the worst Christmas event store I've ever seen.

[neat fern]

I did complete that one and all other events,and only missed points on the first. Will see how many points there are today

[desert laurel]

the last xmas event store coincided with the end of disco arc's event store. And it was also limited compared to the latter. We should expect those things you wanted when the arc actually ends, but this event store doesn't seem all that bad. There are bps for getting closer to another meridian and badges. 4k for an epic shard isn't all that bad of a rate for special currency if you're close to finishing hworf. And this is the first opportunity for many f2p to have a chance to make their 2nd sarco

[elder comet]

2nd sarco? Who on earth uses this ship?

[south arrow]

Yeah a complete waste to build even one 🤣

[potent tartan]

Anyone else missing holiday tokens in last milestone of todays Armada event (ops 45)

[ruby garnet]

Yep

[reef jasper]

I have holiday tokens in my top milestone

[potent tartan]

seems to be a tier/ops specific issue

[desert laurel]

sarco's good if you have an active origin and frequently fight against a stronger opponent or need a tank for base defense

[keen quest]

@potent tartan lvl43

[potent tartan]

Yeah I checked stfc.space seems ops 45 is only one affected

[abstract gate]

Same for me.....op45

[sturdy thorn]

☝

[dry phoenix]

So looks like scopley decided not to provide enough BP points to complete the overflow for those who weren't able to complete the first AT event. Poor show, I could have given up on the BP day ago if I had known 🙄 I managed 4500 points in the first AT and completed ALL other BP events in full.

[desert laurel]

how many pts do you have?

[ionic wren]

I missed 6k points from first AT bp event. I have done all others battlepass events, and now i have already done bp overflow.

[desert laurel]

yeah, I'll have 320k having done everything. Missing the 6k last MS would still finish the overflow

[dry phoenix]

I got 309.5k points

[ionic wren]

So you have miss more than one event

[desert laurel]

you're missing 2 MS then

[dry phoenix]

I managed only first 2 milestones of the first AT event, literally couldn't finish it

[desert laurel]

ok, then that explains that. You can miss only one of them

[ionic wren]

Meh, 2k short is frustrating

[dry phoenix]

That's a crock of shit, I never miss BP events, grind like crazy to get all the points and then they release a new event that was impossible for me to complete and I lose out 🙄

I made sure eincoukd complete the second one in full in good faith that they would make up.f)) for it!!

[raw owl]

Gotta make sure you're saving those ATA speedups. It sucks, but that's the only way to mitigate Scopely catching you off-guard in the future.

[static wigeon]

I don't quite understand how people get so low on them

This is with me frequently rushing the good ones too 🤷‍♂️

[dry phoenix]

Because I barely do at assignments because I havent seen the value in them yet (haven't needed to do them for events and I've been using my ore for ship and ops upgrades and not upgraded the shuttlebay) I wont make that mistake again but its still shit.

[desert laurel]

wouldn't skip ATA, there is so much value in there. I developed my officers for critting, and one I see all the time, Accelerated Bioforming, can give me 5k+ lat on the long version

this is the one

carol's great for ATA, ultras and additionally sourced from loyalty boxes and TPs so she's easy to level, her traits seem to line up very well for some of the missions I want to crit in

[static wigeon]

I'm not convinced it's a good addition, but I make sure to get at least one per day. Most days 🙈

[abstract gate]

@all...any lev 45 player got the points?? Now I see its fixed....but for all player who have finished that earlier??? Nothing....??

[sullen yarrow]

When is the compensation coming for the first away team bp event that was impossible to complete for many players?

I am still 2100 points away from completing the bp overflow event.

It was bad enough to lose out on the complete missions rewards due to this.

To lose all the lat in the overflow as well is bs.

[static wigeon]

Bad news, there's no compensation - they ran the event again with extra points so that if you missed the last milestone the first time around you can finish the Overflow event. If you missed more than that then you're still screwed

[sullen yarrow]

They should have at least extended it for a day.

I've never missed any other bp events.

Thx for answering.

[naive meteor]

Well it looks like I will not be getting any of this battlepass either 😒😒!!

[ruby garnet]

Same boat for me still. Waiting on the ticket response I had open from the tokens missing earlier.

[tranquil karma]

am I mistaken on scopely saying they'd make up for the away team BP blunder by increasing points so that people they fkd over would be able to complete heroic overflow or nah?

[desert laurel]

pts were increased on the 2nd run, if you did that one then you'd only need to do 3/4 MS on the first run to complete the overflow

[edgy tundra]

Turf Wars was a fun win. I do have a recommendation for any reiteration of the Event. Leave all existing scoring in place and add "1 point for every point earned in takeover". That will give every player more of a feeling of participation. Best side of that is lower level player's ships can not be hit by high level ships. Lower level players can be the scoring backbone of the event.

@dry phoenix ATA has a store. If you don't have all your faction ship blueprints, you can buy them there. Any blueprints available in Faction Store are there from what I have seen.

@gaunt inlet The leaderboard PvP was abused. Player's set up Dueling Parties and scored rampantly without losing points. It was a grind fest. The milestone event still awards for loss. Leaderboard was adjusted so player's like me couldn't die my way up the leaderboard.

[ripe jungle]

Why can’t a lower level player’s ship be hit?

[uneven peak]

There's no level restrictions for PvP in origin space.

[worldly fiber]

I finished battle pass after missing top milestone for ata I’ll take it.

I do agree they should have the scoring mechanics for points. If you still do all the ones you get a ton of points

But it forces participation which I like and maybe a little pvp

[ripe jungle]

You don’t really need to upgrade the shuttle bay to do ATA’s, except eventually to access epic assignments. And you should be doing them if only for the research in the away teams tree.

[elder comet]

People moaning here about the assignment arc event are just very bad in managing resources as always. Put your effort into preparing better for the next time. You have to learn something from this..

Similar to armada events. If players keep doing armadas randomly no wonder why they fail to have enough dirs for milestones let alone leaderboard events. And yet they won't learn from it 🤔

[whole briar]

I am ops 28, should my limited time ship event slb include players level 40+?

[hexed kettle]

Yep… welcome to never winning a SLB again. 😂 Not only are you up against 12 levels of stronger players, but they cut the rewards to top 10 only.

[tender plaza]

@uneven peak because that's how origin space and takeovers work. It's too let the whales be whales.

Any details on the exchange event coming up?

[whole briar]

Well guess I'll be saving ship xp for the next year 😂😅 Cheers anyway 🖖

[tender plaza]

Sorry I meant the eclipse event

[ripe jungle]

Ship xp is impossible to win, but it’s possible to win officer recruit slb

Ship xp is impossible because your ships won’t use enough xp to be able to win cos you’re up against people leveling g4s

[abstract gate]

No, it’s because otherwise an alliance full of alts, Lv15, could remove a top alliance because the alts could camp the capture nodes being invulnerable to the opposing alliance while the main accounts smash everything they could.

You need to be able to kill anything that can score in a takeover, otherwise you lose by virtue of them being invincible.

[mighty peak]

I get what you're saying but at the same time I don't like the idea that I can't "free play" the game as seemingly everything now has to fit in with events. It means you can't simply blow off steam with a few armadas without risking being short on directives, you have to be serious about the game and arguably it's less fun as a result.

[dry phoenix]

I guess that when aiming to win SLB events it pays to save things up, but the battle.pass should be grindable for all, regardless of the resources you hold.

[cunning radish]

I mean events are events - if they were simply ‘here’s free stuff’ they’d just be handouts

[hardy parcel]

yeah and you're free to play as you wish. do all events or skip some it's up to you 🙂

some events are purely designed to create FOMO and get you to spend 🤷‍♂️

[dry phoenix]

But they have never been unattainable for some until this arc, unless I am mistaken?

[hardy parcel]

only one was pretty much RNG based and they corrected that in the second iteration

[cunning radish]

Ya

[hardy parcel]

I think I missed the last two milestones on that one and still managed to get the full overflow

but you can't afford to ignore any "area" of the game, all of it is required for some event or another...

[abstract gate]

For all lev 45 Player........any1 got Response now what happens about the issue in the event yesterday for all who have finish it earlier before fixed?.....is there a chance to get reward before events end???.....oh i forget...its scoply game.....

[ripe jungle]

Also the overflow doesn’t really have any “unique” stuff. It’s designed so that you can complete the main battlepass even if you have to skip a few days because of rl or whatever, and the top ms on the overflow is indeed for the serious players who do everything. If you miss the overflow you miss out on some lat and officer tokens, and an avatar or frame and that’s it

[abstract gate]

For is not that BP points intressting....need that event token...need epic worf😅

[ripe jungle]

Yeah was replying to the earlier chain about bp event. That scoring for Christmas event sucked yup, I finished it with armada directives before they changed the scoring.

[abstract gate]

Can someone tell me why Lorca is so special (apart from the captain ability) against gorkon ?

[long slate]

Lorca isn’t special. It’s just impulse buying. He isn’t a top tier officer

I would go with the proven officers.

[bronze hull]

Lorca can apply hull breach before you fire a shot, which can be important for the Saladin or D4 in close pvp fights.

[long slate]

Hardly any screenshots showing Lorca effectiveness

Go with the proven officers for PvP

Lorca ain’t one of them.

[abstract gate]

There’s him not effective vs gorkon at maxed 90% upon a crit gork does 3 times while Lorca do twice - his captain ability is only interesting against ships like enterprise. Longer battles and mitigation with captain tilly (aka psycho tilly).

A 50% Lorca wasn’t even doing hull breach like the basic epic Kirk not triggering morale much

[abstract gate]

Hmm - make sense but need higher tier for the first chance.

Thanks both for your kind replies !

[dry phoenix]

Impossible, I only missed those two and was 2100 short of full overflow.

[hardy parcel]

I only did half the first ATA and finished the overflow. I did do the second one though

[ripe jungle]

Gorkon requires a crit to be fired before he can proc, while lorca doesn’t. So with gorkon you won’t have breach for the first crit, plus Killy will not proc until the first crit. He was also more useful before they allowed gorkon to refresh a hull breach: previously once gorkon proc’d the first time, you needed him to proc again after the three rounds were up to get another breach.

Now he will extend the breach if there’s a crit during those three rounds and he procs again

[winged mantle]

wow only five independent credit points allowed from the event store, its really underwhelming.

[dry phoenix]

I only.l missed the last 2 parts of the first ATA event too, Ive put in a ticket then if you are claiming you missed the same as me but managed to complete the overflow.

[abstract gate]

That’s what has been discussed above as well . What I said above is you need higher tier Lorca to be effective or else he’s same as basic Kirk ! Thanks

[hardy parcel]

yup, or you missed something else too

[dry phoenix]

That's not like me...but I have been drinking alot 😂

[hardy parcel]

I also may have managed to do all but one milestone, my memory isn't exactly reliable these days 😂
I know I did not 100% it

[ripe jungle]

Mostly the same yeah, hadn’t read that. But he was a much better value before they improved gorkon and the rest. Even t1 lorca you have 75% chance of having breach in any given round, while without gorkon being able to renew breach, it would be lower. Same with gg vs nero, Nero has gotten far better with the change.

[abstract gate]

Got answer from scoply! For all lev 45 player who have finish that issue event earlier......got nothing only a warm "its fixed" more question ask...thats all.!

[tender plaza]

@halcyon kindle what systems?

[icy sedge]

Is there a system to kill FED ships without losing reputation, like there are for ROM and KLI?

[ripe jungle]

Nope

[icy sedge]

[ripe jungle]

6 officer badges or 50k emulsion?

[hardy parcel]

Depends if you actually need the badges... I've had a surplus forever.
On the other hand I'm spending emulsion like it's going out of fashion 🤣

[ripe jungle]

I do have a few badges left but wondering if I should stock up.

This has got to be a bad joke though…

The emulsion on the other hand seems decent

[hardy parcel]

Between the pass and the commendation shards from the disco event i get lots of badges.

I'll probably go for faction credits now though

[ripe jungle]

The emulsion would be enough for 6 nodes at my level and I’m short so it’s pretty tempting

[hardy parcel]

Yeah emulsion is also tempting, need a ton for the meridian too

[elder comet]

6 badges???

[earnest hornet]

Yea but emulsion is easy from refining, I normally think the best things to get are things that are harder to get normally,

[desert laurel]

why would you value 50k emulsion as anywhere close to 6 badges? that's like 5 days of refines vs 2 free battle passes, and even fewer with a skin

[ripe jungle]

It’s more like a month of refines for me

But yeah still less time than badges

[hardy parcel]

Because something you will not use has less value than something you will.
I get badges faster than i use them so it's a permanent surplus, vs pretty much anything else which gets spent lol

[desert laurel]

how's your officer development? and how many badges do you have?

[hardy parcel]

Lots and slow

15 of each and 6k commendation tokens.

I'm good for a while

Like I said, I'd rather have the faction credits.

[ripe jungle]

If I converted my tokens I’d have six of each badge, but I could use them up right now if I promoted a few officers I’d eventually want to

[hardy parcel]

By the time I get the shards I'll have even more badges lol

[ripe jungle]

My feds and roms are maxed on shards except for the epics, and the Klingons will be there soon

[hardy parcel]

I literally can't spend them fast enough 🤣

[desert laurel]

epics use 7 each, and rares 3. We'll see how long the badges hold out

[hardy parcel]

Yes i know, but by the time I max an epic I'll have more.
In 2 years my badge count has never dropped below 10 (each).

If I need badges, plenty in events and battlepass. Badges are not the same bottleneck they used to be.

The bottleneck is the increased officer pool 🤣

[desert laurel]

gorkon and kirk ate my command badges, I used commendations to cover the shortfall

and I can see that the future will have a shortfall of badges and indy credits, faction credits are way too easy to get compared to the others

[hardy parcel]

Important to note though, I'm a pve player so i really don't promote as many officers as some do

Indy credits for sure

[desert laurel]

the influx of TP and ultras filling out my epics will especially squeeze badges in the short-medium term

are your kirk and gorkon maxed?

[hardy parcel]

Nope. Still need a ton of shards

[wet gust]

Anyone have an explanation of why Jingle All the Way -SLB didn’t end this morning at 11AM central time and got extended another 24 hours?

[ripe jungle]

It was always two days?

[wet gust]

Mine showed done at 11 AM 🤷🏼. I even watched the timer got to zero right before I had to leave for work

[cunning radish]

Yeah mine always said two days

[wise osprey]

I think you might be on my server? COT, NUPH? there with the window lickers?

[vital drum]

It depends. I value cultivated mycelium because it is usually only available through event stores and I always end up choosing other things. So I got that. Frequently I go badges or indi credits but they are more widely available. I would have gone for a second Discovery but I can get those in Cosmic Cleanup. Meridian bps are probably quite valuable too.

[cunning radish]

I really want to win this event 😬

[fathom shuttle]

<@&509691205798592532>
Shady link.

[abstract gate]

I really wish the points were that low for us 😂

[cunning radish]

😛

what ops range is yours?

[abstract gate]

41-42

No, 40-41

[cunning radish]

ahh

im 39

[desert laurel]

wish mine was that cheap, 39s here have decided the skin's worth 49-73m pts so far with 5ish hours to go. It's going to get crazy soon

[abstract gate]

They’re gonna be well upset when I drop another 70M points to upset them.

[dapper drum]

don't stop until you hit 420m +

[desert laurel]

130m pts via power seems like a lot, even considering the g4 diff. You sure it's worth that much?

[abstract gate]

Nope but I hate these tryhards.

And I’m at a point where power costs me vanishingly little 😂

Not having upgraded a single platform past bare minimum at Lv41 left me scope for about 200M in power.

E at Lv1, and A-D at 38 🤣

I’d got all the mats and need to do it anyway.

https://tenor.com/view/your-move-obi-wan-kenobi-star-wars-jedi-master-gif-15824683

[desert laurel]

go get that snowflake!

[abstract gate]

A little history; they’ve spent weeks laughing at how low power my station was for a Lv41, how I was one of the weakest Lv41s on the server.

https://tenor.com/view/rainn-wilson-whos-laughing-now-the-office-gif-13906745

[desert laurel]

hope it looks good, not that I'm in the slb for it, but the rainbow one was a letdown and I'd like to see them do more nice projectile skins

[abstract gate]

Rainbow one is my favourite, I’m keeping it on my Augur for drive by homophobe smashings.

https://tenor.com/view/laughs-in-spanish-gif-13340160

[abstract gate]

I predict teddies will need cleaned up.

[hearty island]

Scopely was a bit to quick and deleted the Event Information for Dec 24 .. Jan 1 - Does someone have the information for me, please?

[meager spindle]

Click on the screen in your station view

[cunning imp]

Yeah, it's not there anymore.

[meager spindle]

Oh right. It was there this morning. Well done, Scopely 😂

[waxen sedge]

Was there new years events or something planned?

[elder comet]

They always say the schedule can change at any moment but there were some wrong dates in the Christmas + new years Eve info also 29th had not a single event. My guess it will come back later again with updated events or so

[elder comet]

Our first had 113m. I went 3rd with 94m as I only wanted the skin. It's so easy to get pts as you could score using officer/ship so and the research multiplier was 40 so I did some 1st time researches that gave over 30m pts already haha

[brittle folio]

I hope they change that stupid power slb on 30th. Two power slb after another are bad.

[sinful herald]

Recommendations? The Iso will get my Meridian most of the way through T3

[abstract gate]

Trivial amounts of iso.

You’re too far away from Worf, go indie credits.

[golden knot]

Anybody save the news? Scopely deleted it while we still have new year events to go.

[elder comet]

I got myself the max amount of meridian bp as I want a 2nd one. The remaining tokens went into buying the badges and worf. Then the last 3k dupont. Never spent anything for iso it's not worth it. And higher tier meridian isn't that big of priority. The mining speed won't increase that much anyway.

I value officer shards over credits. You can get credits daily but officer shards are harder to come by even if it's just a few shards. Ind creds are only worth to take if you plan to promote some officers that need it but otherwise collect them from augment store and borg ref

[ornate geyser]

Worf isn't grindable. The rest are. I don't even use my Meridien more than once every couple of weeks for an event...

[sinful herald]

I'm told a max Meridian is like a North Star 2.0 for battle resilience

[abstract gate]

And the rest.

Few in our alliances use them to smash G3 Epics for the LOLs

[sinful herald]

Rest = G3 Epics?

[abstract gate]

No, “and the rest” as in it’s a load better than NS 2.0

[elder comet]

Meridian is ops bound meaning you need 39/40+ or so to max it anyway and it seems you are under ops 30 😅

[meager spindle]

There was again some power slb, and I think some swarm solo milestone, and probably some armada event milestone or so again. Iirc the power slb was the only slb.

[waxen sedge]

Ah, thanks. Did it say what that slb would be for?

[meager spindle]

Nope, it didn’t. Quite mysterious.

Just said something like gain power for the new year. Something else was in the description that made me wonder, but I forgot what it was. At least, nothing concrete.

[waxen sedge]

Cool, thanks for the info.

[meager spindle]

Wait there was something with away team assignments in that slb also

Or was it yet another slb? I think it was one and the same, not entirely sure anymore :/

[fossil sonnet]

Evening everyone

[kind anvil]

What happened to the New Year Events disappeared from the News Board

Supposed to take place next few days

[cunning radish]

Can someone who won the SLB jingle post a short video of what it looks like in game?

@abstract gate ?

[thick robin]

@cunning radish

[covert heart]

that s been my plan for a while mwith these main events everymonth... this month i let it rest easy... refit not worth the hassle

[tacit torrent]

Anyone know what tomorrow’s event is?

[unkempt lava]

Nice question. I need 20 more shards for my stella red dress

[tacit torrent]

I want my red dress as well. I’m so close.

[elder gyro]

So we now loose everything if our miner is killed while mining

[vivid gyro]

I haven’t been. Keeping PC per usual.

[torn crescent]

Love the hotrod red on the Stella

[torn crescent]

Yes, Scopely “fixed” it to the way it was intended to work. Any opc your opponent cannot take is lost to the void.

[elder gyro]

Figures

Trash companies do trash things

Makes it not even worth mining in this game

Prob why i dont the incredibly small pc lvl

[azure pelican]

i got this...but its not showing up in my refinery

[sullen barn]

have you recalled your ship yet? its in the cargo until it gets back to the station

[azure pelican]

i never thought of that....duh..lol

[robust vapor]

Not sure what fixed, it's been that way for some time, my second test to demonstrate this was 18 months ago now.. my first test showing this would have been 2+ years ago.
What they did fix though was the bug where you could lose some or all of your protected cargo.

[elder comet]

There is none tomorrow or rather today. 29th had none on the schedule

[elder comet]

^
Somehow slid to the wrong message. Look above

[molten cloak]

No I can’t because I unlocked the wrong projectile 😱fml

[edgy helm]

Same here 💩

[molten cloak]

I raised a support ticket but scopely said they couldn’t undo the choice which seemed a little bit unkind. I think quite a lot of people did the same as us. At least one other guy in my SLB did the same.

[edgy helm]

Yeah, it's really unfair, because this was the first choice you could take. I think they done the sorting intentionally. Not very nice.

[uneven peak]

You bought the wrong thing, so you feel cheated?

[abstract gate]

Some do. Others had an issue where they’d unlocked the rainbow gun in a previous event but not the epic skin shards needed to unlock it, so then the epic shards have gone against the rainbow gun and not the snowflake gun.

But yeah, if you went on, bought the standard epic gun because you got overexcited…. Well.

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-face-palm-seriously-exasperated-gif-7304550

[torn crescent]

Up until a couple months ago any opc that was not taken, I kept. Had a team mate told by support they fixed it to how it was supposed to be working.

[molten cloak]

Less overexcited, more confused by the projectile interface. Would’ve rtfm if there was one or at least expected a pop up warning box if I was about to do something irreversible…

[abstract gate]

It’s not that confusing. You won a snowflake gun, unlock the snowflake gun. Not the first one you come across 😬

[molten cloak]

You fail to account for my stupidity.

[abstract gate]

*overexcitement.

“New thing, new thing, quick unlock it!” Oh wait, that’s not the thing.

[molten cloak]

Tbf it is pretty confusing. I didn’t spend the thing called epic cryogenic projectile shard. Why do I also need epic projectile shards to unlock it?

[abstract gate]

Good question; and it does seem an unnecessary complication that I’m sure in someone’s head made a load of sense.

Not sure that there’s a lot that anyone can do but either <@&509691611903426561> or <@&509690795536941056> if there’s any room to apply pressure to find a solution for people that have been caught by at least the bug where it put your epic shards against the wrong projectile that should be done 👀

Cos this is the mess some have

[robust vapor]

I literally have screenshots from 18 months ago showing that you only keep protected. And I found the same results in tests earlier than that.
What they fixed in the last couple of months was lost protected cargo.

[torn crescent]

Even our whales who have been playing longer than anyone noticed the more recent change on our server.

And Scopely acknowledged it

[abstract gate]

Yeah, what he’s saying is it was a graphical change.

Behaviourally it hasn’t changed.

[robust vapor]

It's not a change. This is June 2020.

[abstract gate]

You have for a long time lost everything that wasn’t protected, but graphically you saw what they took.

[robust vapor]

44k showing, 20k protected, 20k gained. From 18 months ago.

I've been having this argument for the last 2 years, and for 2 years I've found the same results: protected only. And for 2 years no one has shown any actual proof to the contrary.

[abstract gate]

Yeah, the confusion has always come that the interface shows what they took, not what you lost.

Now it looks like you lost all but protected, people think that’s changed.

[robust vapor]

I don't think that is the case, this started because a guy got hit well OC and didn't keep the stated amount (in bug reporting somewhere).

The recent change though, again, was to fix the issues with losing your protected cargo. All of it: Gone. This was what was fixed recently.

[abstract gate]

Huh, then Support are wrong, nothing has changed.

[robust vapor]

Support be wrong? Madness!

[glass hawk]

Where are my cryonic shards scopely...

Event shows two prizes cryo and projectile. 75 of each.

[unkempt lava]

Im sure there are dozens maybe hundreds of you which have the same problem, but unless you all ticket support for it you wont solve a thing

[robust vapor]

Did you unlock the ionic disruptors after the event?

[glass hawk]

I have ticketed

Yes. Assuming I had another 75 cryo shards

As per event advertisement rewards

75 cryo plus 75 projectile

[robust vapor]

You need both types for Cryonic. You have the 75 Cryonic still in that image, it's the standard epic shards that you're missing (because you spent them on the Ionic).

[glass hawk]

The tricky barstewards

[unkempt lava]

Major f. Up from devs. Very confusing if its the 1st time u interact with this crappy interface

[glass hawk]

That's just a con..

[robust vapor]

They may still fix it for you.. but that's the problem unfortunately.

[unkempt lava]

For some1 who hasnt used these things like ever, its very confusing. I see 2 prizes there

[glass hawk]

Exactly two prizes.. I feel like I have been fingered☝

[unkempt lava]

How would you know how that feels anyways 😵‍💫

[abstract gate]

Some people like that.

[unkempt lava]

Anyways i DOUBT they will do anything about it because scopely.

Maybe you could urge them to add the projectile shards alone to some bundle

But it must be a joint effort

[molten cloak]

Can’t be that hard to relock the ionic projectile for everyone who unlocked it and give them 75 shards to try again.

[abstract gate]

What about those of us that want purple shooters but wanted the bonus of the projectile, why do we get short changed?

[molten cloak]

How are you short-changed? You can just unlock it again with your new 75 shards.

I for one am ok for you to have to spend 10secs of your time to undo my mistake 😝

[waxen charm]

Nope they won't do anything about it, did the same 💩 myself, contacted support (what a nightmare that is now) turned around said you need both to unlock cryonic blast and can't do anything, closed ticket and that's it.

If anyone does get a decent reply from support where they do the right thing let us know so we can do the same lol

[edgy helm]

It's so frustrating.

[waxen charm]

Probably not, but they don't care, you could argue it's designed to be difficult, you'd thing you earn both prizes not just 1. No warning just crafty and sneaky

[red trellis]

I already wrote the support and atleast in my case they wont revert it

[marsh flame]

Errr it’s not confusing. It’s how projectiles have always worked.

That you used the materials for the snow balls on the purple missiles. Is kinda your own fault

Why exactly should those who done effed up get it solved when those who actually looked at the screen before clicking have this

[red trellis]

👌 great argument when it is your first particle unlock

[marsh flame]

Arguments can be put forward that sourcing for these original ones is crap

[marsh flame]

Still read it though. It’s clear enough

Pretty clear

[molten cloak]

Obviously wasn’t clear enough because a big proportion of players placing in the slb messed up!

[marsh flame]

Yeah and a huge portion of players have the arkady avatar for the same reason.

The only person at fault is the one clicking on the wrong thing

[unkempt lava]

If many ppl made the same mistake is fault of the designer

[red trellis]

and in the small event reward stuff they look like

you get both

so nobody probably even bothered to considered that you wont get both

[marsh flame]

Er no

Because there’s been half a dozen of these events. And it only just happens now?

[red trellis]

wow great guy you play this games for years

[molten cloak]

It doesn’t really matter who’s fault it is. There was a miscommunication between Scopely and the players and there is an easy fix. Event was meant to be a fun marquee finish to the year.

[red trellis]

some won it that haven t had any particle events

[unkempt lava]

Captain planet, what a great team player you must be, supporting fellow players like this

[marsh flame]

Then as it’s new to them. They should spend more than 0.0001 second looking at it

[molten cloak]

That would be me! Only projectile I’ve ever had.

[red trellis]

the game doesn t even load a page in 0.0001 seconds

[marsh flame]

I’m all for supporting players. But. At some point. Not looking properly, doesn’t need to be encouraged by a free gimmie to those that screwed up.

However.

Scopely 100% need to source those purple things. Then those that goofed can get the snowballs in a short time.

And those that didn’t can get the purple missiles.

[red trellis]

nobody would complain if there was a sourcing for the stuff they are missing now

but reality is that as for time i play this game it is the first time i had this in an event

[molten cloak]

Yes have already looked in the store to see I could buy them.

[marsh flame]

You can’t. And that’s the real issue. They havnt been available since the first month

[red trellis]

so i doubt they will come around often

and the events are pretty rare

what i can tell

and if it is the wrong event you are still stuck with a useless reward without anyway of making it useful

[marsh flame]

However. Those that goofed.

Are probably the only ones with the purple missiles.

It can even be argued. That doing it this way. Is the only way someone who wanted the purple missiles. Can get them. So. Is it a goof ? Has anyone missed out?

Or. Did some players. (Inadvertently maybe). Chose the purple missiles over the snowballs

[south halo]

Anyone have a screenshot of the New Years event guide? Seems to have gone missing from my game

[marsh flame]

No. I’m looking for it too.

In short. There’s 3 milestones and a slb.(away team)

[red trellis]

Also one inconsistent thing still with the particles is sometimes the particle shard show up top or bottom

[marsh flame]

The milestones are domination swarm and worms

[red trellis]

They aren't even consistent in the three purple particle effects

[molten cloak]

Still, it comes down to Scopely not intending to have a gotcha for the event winners (I assume) and it would take them 5 mins to fix the mistake some of us made.

[south halo]

Yeah. Just looking for days and so forth. Always like to know what’s coming. Not on FB discord or website. Good going scoplay.

[red trellis]

Pretty laughable consistency

[marsh flame]

It’s not inconsistent. It’s 100% consistent

Base currency. Green. Blue. Purple

Specific currency. - specific to the “special” ones.

To get a basic projectile. Just need the base currency

To get a special one. You need the special currency. AND the basic currency

It’s consistent in that. And it’s been pointed out every time an event like this has popped

[red trellis]

One time the base currency is top and once bottom how is that consistent

[marsh flame]

Consistency

Anything that has an. “Unlock bonus”. Is like this

[red trellis]

Yeah but it isn't with the ones in question but whatever 😜 have a nice day

It isn't with the purple

[marsh flame]

Noo. It is. You’re still not looking at it properly

[red trellis]

Both have a bonus

[marsh flame]

Okay Il use caps.

[red trellis]

One has pen on has damage

[marsh flame]

ITS A DIFFERENT CURRENCY FOR DIFFERENT STUFF

[red trellis]

It isn't different currency both time it is epic shards

Once bottom once top

[marsh flame]

They still both require 2 lots of currency

[unkempt lava]

A free basic unlock with a tutorial is missing here

We wouldnt even be talking about this

[marsh flame]

1 requires refractive beam shards and epic projectiles

The other requires cryonic blast shards and epic projectiles.

Much like a ship upgrade can require gas. And crystal.

[ionic wren]

anyone have end of year events calendar? gone from my base panel

[marsh flame]

It’s obviously not clear to everyone though so fine.

Give those that didn’t look at it free stuff

[terse gale]

Same here.

[marsh flame]

I have to ask though

An event for snowballs.

Has exactly 75 of both currencies

Did nothing about that seem at all non-coincidental

[abstract gate]

Why?

I’m really confused. If y’all put half the effort into picking the projectile unlock as you’ve put into justifying how it’s happened, we wouldn’t be here 😂

The people I have sympathy with are the people who ended up with the rainbow unlock without the epic weapon skin tokens who then had their epic weapon tokens cash in against the rainbow gun.

[marsh flame]

I don’t get your meaning.

It required zero effort.

I saw event.

Looked at its rewards. Then looked at the projectile to make sure it was an unlock.

Came top 5. Unlocked projectile

[molten cloak]

I’m less stressed about losing snowballs than the nasty attitude that people should be punished disproportionately for making an honest mistake that is easy to fix. Is just not necessary.

[abstract gate]

I’m not suggesting you should be punished. You did that to yourself.

[marsh flame]

I’m not trying to be nasty. It’s not a punishment

[abstract gate]

Scopely have never fixed this kinda of stuff though.

[marsh flame]

You won an event they unlocks a projectile skin.

You unlocked a projectile skin.

[abstract gate]

You just unlocked the wrong one 😬😂

You’ll get it next time you get 75 purple shards.

[marsh flame]

Which is entirely. On you

Don’t sweat about the 20% damage. That is near worthless

[abstract gate]

This one I have sympathy for.

It’s cashed all his purples in against the refractive beam to make it so he can unlock that, he hasn’t done but it won’t let him use it on the Cryonic Blast.

He has 106 epic weapon shards but 75 are locked to the refractive beam which he had all the shards for but not the base epic shards.

[marsh flame]

That is actually something that’s broken

He has everything required. But it’s not working

[abstract gate]

He got the full cryonic blast but couldn’t unlock it 😂

[abstract gate]

Yep.

As I say; unlocked the wrong thing? That’s on you.

Screwed by Scopely? Ouch.

Remember the days you could accidentally lat repair your ship for thousands of lat?

How much sympathy were these people handing out then 😬

[unkempt lava]

Yo can talk all youwant trying to make players feel stupid about their mistake, but if it did happen to many of them, it IS a design flaw

[marsh flame]

I’m one of them. So much lat

[marsh flame]

In which case it perhaps should get tweaked to be clearer.

[abstract gate]

Never rule out mass stupidity.

Just as many got it right.

The argument is bi-directional.

[marsh flame]

But. No way. No how. Should someone who didn’t look at it correctly get 2 projectile unlocks when those that didn’t mess up got 1

[abstract gate]

I’m a smart cookie but I’m not significantly smarter than average

[marsh flame]

https://tenor.com/view/smarter-than-the-average-bear-gif-21733547

Simple fact is. Those purple missiles are bound to their accounts now.

They’re demanding a second projectile for free. Because they didn’t look properly.

[unkempt lava]

As long as its bidirectional its all good because its a valid issue.

If they are demanding a second projectile for free they are f.cked

They cant expect any1 to do that

[abstract gate]

Well, it is, but… you’re saying it’s a design issue.

It can’t be a big design issue if a load of people got it right.

[unkempt lava]

They may ask about reverting or a bundle to buy the shards they misused

[unkempt lava]

It can because not everyones brain and emotional intelligence works the same

[marsh flame]

Things I will get behind and yell all day about

Those purple things need to be sourced somehow. (Maybe 1 or 2 in the monthly loyalty box or something)

Make it a even more clear that the cost for these includes 2 currencies to avoid this in future

But above all. Fix the issue where those that have enough currency can’t purchase it because of a bug

[abstract gate]

Of course. Those whose brain and emotional intelligence were such that read what they’re pressing got what they won. Those that have the emotional control of a three year old after ice cream clicked the first thing that had “Unlock” next to it and think it’s a design issue.

[unkempt lava]

I wont engage with you

I just want the projectiles thing to get fair outcome

[abstract gate]

They literally won a snowflake gun, with a damage boost, and their first thought was to unlock something that was purely cosmetic?

These people need to be protected from themselves, clearly.

[unkempt lava]

I almost made the same mistake and warned every1 i could about it

Some folks did not

[abstract gate]

The same way as I took myself out back and gave myself a hiding every time I clicked “Repair - 3900 latinum” on my ship.

https://tenor.com/view/my-unfortunate-life-choices-terrible-life-choices-bad-choices-i-did-it-to-myself-my-own-fault-gif-14166315

Did it twice before I learned to read the damn screen before pushing recall too quickly.

Selling them an epic bundle will be met with calls of it being a fix to extract money from them.

Undoing their stupidity sets a dangerous precedent that support will press “undo” if someone cries enough. Something I’d love to be able to do on many things I do in this game when I’m drunk or distracted.

The reality is that enough people read the screen for both this and the rainbow gun, and as a result it has to be a minority that screwed up. The people that need a fix are the ones that got bugged out of a reward.

[edgy helm]

Condecending

[edgy helm]

Blocked

[abstract gate]

Not the ones that regret pushing a button that used their rewards for something they didn’t mean.

[abstract gate]

I can assure you I’ll lose precisely no sleep over you blocking me.

[edgy helm]

Now Chat reads very friendly again.

[abstract gate]

You mean “now chat says what I want to hear”.

If you want satisfaction, there are plenty places that’ll do that for very little money, usually near train stations in town centres.

[weak copper]

Seems odd that someone would spend 2-3 days competing for a Cryonic projectile then go and spend their shards on a Refractive one to be honest.

[abstract gate]

The reality is this game is FULL of buttons that consume your resource and a lot of them will do so for things you didn’t necessarily want to spend it on.

There’s just a quick first pass summary of buttons you must never push

[molten cloak]

That isn’t the definition of a good UI…

[torn crescent]

Bumped that damn Spock avatar. Didn’t have another mishap until last week when I hit the commendation button instead of faction shards

[devout summit]

Anyone take a screen of the nye events for some reason it’s been taken down from the news bulletin board 😑

[abstract gate]

So many traps 😂

[ripe jungle]

One of my alliance mates got a refund for the Spock avatar and they still let him keep it! 😡

But yeah I don’t really get the ionic disruptors thing, exact same thing happened when they offered the rainbow one in the tng event store.

People blindly unlocking ionic disruptors. Don’t you go “hm maybe there’s a reason they gave me two shards for this thing I just bought”

[near sequoia]

u are rly defending this unlucky designed ui which has no common sense and is made this way: "new future, on the left side is still space. ok add the button there" 😂😂😂😂

obviously i see one thing ure a narcistic person who is proud that he could read the descriptions properly but u have no idea about game design. this ui is bullshit, the worst ive ever seen for an idle game. u have nothing like "collect all" buttons to make it easier to go through any menu after event reset to get your daily gifts which takes 15 min for me, 15 min just to press a few buttons to get my daily stuff is ANYTHING but a good ui

[abstract gate]

I’m not narcissistic, and certainly not because I read the description or the requirements for the thing I just spent two days fighting for.

If you think this is an idle game may I suggest you review what an idle game is 😂

[near sequoia]

this is an idle/active rpg based rts

[abstract gate]

To do this game without just throwing your wallet at it you have to properly think about everything.

[near sequoia]

to be exact

u decide what it is why i like this game

[abstract gate]

Are you just putting words together?

[near sequoia]

even if the ui is bullshit

i am just exact, the playstore says its an rts

[abstract gate]

Also, language 😂

Yes. RTS.

If you ever played an RTS it is the complete opposite of an idle game.

[near sequoia]

speak 6 languages like me then lets talk again

[abstract gate]

An idle game is a mindless button pushing game.

[near sequoia]

u have ever played an real rts?

[abstract gate]

I can speak plenty. I can also program in four.

[near sequoia]

i am playing since 1995 ive seend C&C 1 to earth 2140

[abstract gate]

Ahhh bless.

[near sequoia]

i can code python, java, php, javascript, c, c++

[abstract gate]

I remember those being released. Calm yer wheesht; it ain’t my fault you don’t read the screen.

[near sequoia]

as i sais narciatic 😂

this game isnt a clean rts, 80% of your progression is idle based mining

also u can decide if u go with mining or active opc hunting why the attributes of this game varry a lot

[abstract gate]

I have two mining ships out for a couple of hours a day. It’s no more idle based mining than ore or Tiberium was in Red Alert/C&C.

[near sequoia]

so the ui is good in stfc for an rts?

[abstract gate]

If you’re going to try and educate someone my recommendation would be to start from a position of knowing more about a given subject. Running your chops and calling people narcissistic isn’t how you convince people of that.

[abstract gate]

Quote where I said that?

I even went as far as to give examples of where it leaves traps all over the place for meaningless tat that sucks resource.

But reading the screen is largely a prerequisite for this game. Understanding what you’re doing unless you’re throwing vast quantities of cash at packs is the only way you make any level of progress.

[near sequoia]

sorry to disappoint u, i never had issues reading through descriptions properly but u cant say this is ok cuz U could find it, most didnt know that 2 ressources are required for that refit now u want to judge over them cuz they dont want to study a game?

[abstract gate]

To give you some idea how stupid an argument this is:

Have you any idea how much thought, effort and resource spend goes into the point scoring for this event?

[near sequoia]

lol pla

pls

u lost.me.now bb

[abstract gate]

Unless you’re @hearty dust sat there with billions of officer XP, you’re having to plan to do that. And even then I’d challenge her to have the officers to spend it on.

And you’re telling me the people that managed to score those points, fighting for 48 hours, didn’t then read the screen for what it is they spent 48 hours competing for?

[near sequoia]

yes, i have seen worse things

[abstract gate]

Yes, those more stupid things usually resulted in a trip to hospital.

[near sequoia]

nope this isnt any essential thing for life

its a GAME

[abstract gate]

It seems that the holiday event schedule was removed from the in game news center. Anyone recall what the NYE events were?

[near sequoia]

they dont need to read if they dont want, a game should be sesigned easy

[abstract gate]

I’m not even going to apologise for it, you gotta be a new kind of special to spend 48 hours competing for something you don’t understand 😂

[abstract gate]

Solitaire and minesweeper are also available.

[near sequoia]

lol they understand that they get rewrds

[abstract gate]

Yes.

@abstract gate

[near sequoia]

on my server a guy pushed 50mln pts in last second to be first and i was second for 18 ore 😂😂😂😂

[abstract gate]

And?

[near sequoia]

for 18 ore he lost anything

he didnt read but pushed

just to show u that ure simply not right

[abstract gate]

You know his thought process?

You know what he was using to score points?

[near sequoia]

18 ore is worth 50mlm pts in this event?

[abstract gate]

I scored 66M points in the last 10 minutes, to secure the jump from 8th to 1st.

[near sequoia]

i read and compare, i keep my stuff for next arc instead od wasting them for 18 ore

[abstract gate]

I couldn’t really score any less than that because platforms are worth what platforms are worth.

[near sequoia]

bad play

very bad play 😂

[abstract gate]

Explain how.

[near sequoia]

u could get the refit and uncommon ore in a good amount with less effort and have enough for next arcs event

[abstract gate]

Am I supposed to have spend Ship XP to have placed second, because my platforms would have scored me too high and I should have taken second?

[near sequoia]

i spend ship xp too

[abstract gate]

Put the crayons down. You clearly aren’t following.

[near sequoia]

thats not the issue

i am not following? 😂

[abstract gate]

I can’t half upgrade a platform you plonker 😂

https://tenor.com/view/special-ralph-the-simpsons-football-gif-5491308

[near sequoia]

lol u can upgrade 2 instwad of 4 platforms for example

[abstract gate]

A platform was worth what a platform was worth.

One less platform was 6th place.

Next stupid argument?

[hearty dust]

Not anymore 😅

And what's this guy whining about?

[near sequoia]

ok u didnt read.what i wrote ut its ok 💪

[abstract gate]

In fact, worse than that - one less platform was about 9th.

[near sequoia]

i said he pushed 50mln score with offi xp and researches

thats not worth for 18 ore sorry 😂

[abstract gate]

He speaks six languages at varying abilities between preschool and playground and can code languages that people are desperately trying to get away from, but can’t read the screen for the snowflake gun “because it’s just a game”

[abstract gate]

No you didn’t.

You said

on my server a guy pushed 50mln pts in last second to be first and i was second for 18 ore 😂😂😂😂

[near sequoia]

he pushed 50mlm score in the last second i said, but where is platform?

[abstract gate]

You didn’t say using what or how.

I had no choice, I completed my platforms and scored what I did.

[near sequoia]

he got 18 ore more as first is it worth to use all his stuff?

[abstract gate]

Who said he used all his stuff?

I mean

[near sequoia]

i know he did cuz he had max turrets dor his ops, and 50mln in few secs can only be done with offi xp and ship xp

[abstract gate]

I wouldn’t mind having more

50m in a few secs can’t be done with officer XP or ship XP.

[near sequoia]

and we are at ops 36 without g4 just saying 😅

[abstract gate]

Have you ever tried to upgrade an officer in a few seconds?

[near sequoia]

i did, it worked always

preparing them

then only level upgrade

[abstract gate]

I started ultra pulls ten seconds too late and I missed out on first on an event.

[near sequoia]

bad timing then or laggy servers

[abstract gate]

50m Officer XP is about five minutes of clicking

[lost abyss]

Officer experience and officer shards are two different things

[hearty dust]

As much as I'd love to sit here and explain to you everything that is wrong with your life and at the very least, why you should just get the hell on with it instead of whining about a game. I have things to do lol.

[near sequoia]

yeah i agree 3-5min depanding on inet

[near sequoia]

indont ehine about the game lol

[abstract gate]

At Lv36 you don’t have ships to spend 7M XP on.

[near sequoia]

i did it correct and had no issues

i just say criticising should be allowed without punks like u jusging like your lifes are beautiful 😅😅😅😅

[hearty dust]

As opposed to yours....... Which isn't? 🤭

[abstract gate]

So instead of chomping on about how mentally superior you are for placing second, how about you just accept that playing STFC requires you to read the screen 🤣 which is where all this trash with you started

[lost abyss]

Not as hard as you think at any ops above 34

[abstract gate]

You’ve been neglecting your ships worse than I’ve been neglecting my research if you can quickly sink 7M XP in ships.

*at Ops 36

[lost abyss]

Someone doesn’t seem to know about building and maxing mayflowers and such for scrapping

[near sequoia]

u will not get my attention ppl like u in rl i will eat them but behind a screen they feel big and try to "hurt" 😅😅😅😅😅😅

[abstract gate]

If you’re building and scrapping first faction ships before Ops 38/39 you really need to seek help before that self harm manifests physically.

[near sequoia]

i did scrap d3 and legio

pls find help for me

[abstract gate]

[lost abyss]

From the person lashing out at anything and everything posted.

[abstract gate]

A stiff breeze would knock him over if mummy let him outside, but he’s got wide on here because the game tried/succeeded duping him into spending on the pointless purple gun off the Jelly.

[near sequoia]

yep durandal same opinion here 😂😂😂 but blocked those trolls

[abstract gate]

Only really set into this moron because he’s started with the insults and can’t back any of his trash up.

[hearty dust]

From the guy who seems to think he's maxing and scrapping like 8 lv 26ers at the same time to be able to spend 7 mill ship XP in an instant 😅

[abstract gate]

But! But! But! It’s easy past Ops34!!!

[hearty dust]

So easy.

[abstract gate]

If you gave me 7M ship XP I’d probably dump 25% into maxing my Frank A and maybe max my two Stellas which I need to stop looking at and actually grind.

[lost abyss]

You, you don’t know how to actually get ahead quickly in this game, or play it, do you? Scrapping 26 ships as early as you can is actually one of the better things mid 30s ops players can do. Especially if free or near free players. Opens up a lot of prime researches to start, and gets them ahead on being able to get into ops40+ quickly and easily once they hit 39.
But, you obviously know everything, and we are just your subjects 👍🏽

[abstract gate]

Then I’d be sat there with maybe 4M ship XP wondering what to spend it on.

[abstract gate]

It is single handedly the most stupid thing you can do. I speak from experience.

[near sequoia]

he obviously knows nothing but thinks he does

[abstract gate]

At Ops 40 you can max a Lv26 faction ship for fun in each battle pass. As well as spending the G4 you’re getting on the stuff that needs G4.

[lost abyss]

One 26 ship is close to a mil and a half xp, any high tier on a better ship is 3-400k ship xp, it’s not as hard as people are making it out to be to blow through ship xp quickly, especially if they had several ships one component away from tiering.

[hearty dust]

During the Sela auction I barely managed to spend 3 mill ship XP on 4 maxed but low level horizons and a BB.....

[abstract gate]

Rather than upgrading dead, unhelpful ships for resource you can barely spend save for token primes that you will get for free in three epic chest pulls at Ops 38.

[lost abyss]

Heck, tiering a faction miner from 6-7 can let you drop several hundred thousand xp afterward.

[abstract gate]

At Lv41 now I’m raking in G3 at a rate I can’t spend, I’m raking in G4 at insufficient rate because the scrapyard is permanently queued with the Lv26 ships.

[abstract gate]

More self harm.

What on earth are you doing with a T7 (DS capable) faction miner at Ops34?

And just how long have you sat there to build up the tens of thousands of G3 to get it to T7? 🤣

[lost abyss]

I love how you assume I’m talking about myself.

[near sequoia]

he did with me too 😂

[lost abyss]

Hypotheticals apparently are beyond your ken,

[hearty dust]

And don't try to tell me how to spend stuff lol. This was just in the space of two weeks.

[lost abyss]

However, I do think on our server most people had a maxed faction miner by around ops 36-38

[abstract gate]

What kind of Lv34 wants to spend their lives accruing that much crystal?!

[abstract gate]

Was your server perhaps pre-ascension?

[lost abyss]

Yep

My god you’d pick an argument with a urinal for the water going the wrong way down the drain.

They’re not, any more than yours are.

[hearty dust]

Oh and just to rub it in 🤭 I also wasn't stupid enough to even try and spend more than I needed to get a pointless higher place lol

[abstract gate]

If you have spent 48 hours competing for a reward you have to be an extra special kind of stupid to not have read what you’re competing for.

[hearty dust]

Projectiles needing projectile shards as well as the unique shards for the buffed ones.......... Is new information to you? 😅

[abstract gate]

Oh wait, no, that’s the button next to the B.

[hearty dust]

I mean it's only been a thing literally the entire time they have existed.

[near sequoia]

u can see that i have unlocked them, so u should be able to answer it yourself 😂😂😂

[abstract gate]

I took three months off, came back to this projectile shard stuff and even I worked out in a few minutes what was going on 😂

[hearty dust]

How can I answer a question on your behalf, that you can't even answer yourself?

[meager galleon]

Just because something has been a thing for a while doesn’t mean it’s not bad. The projectiles currency/spend is rather badly designed and I’m sure everyone can agree mostly to that 🙂

[abstract gate]

I don’t understand the mechanics of needing both.

[hearty dust]

It is yeah. But that's not the point here lol

[meager galleon]

Is there something productive coming from the Convo or do you just want to argue with one another?

[abstract gate]

But I don’t understand how you can compete for 48 hours and not know it.

[ripe jungle]

You don’t even have to know it. You just spent two days competing, won, and instead of going to the screen that lets you unlock the thing you won, you go “oh shiny new Ionic disruptors”? I mean wth is the thought process here.

[near sequoia]

noone disagreed with that point. but u cant EXPECT that from casual players.... they dont care for content like we do they want a little fun with pixels

and the.majority jn any game is based on casual players

[abstract gate]

Then HTF do they score to win an event?

107M points doesn’t happen by casual accident type playing.

[near sequoia]

to have fun, they see leaderboards and push

[meager galleon]

I mean, it’s player fault and game fault. It’s nothing more too it

[near sequoia]

sometimes i see in GC questions like "how to score for event xy"

.....

[abstract gate]

Like, eating a pack of digestives is snaccident.

[meager galleon]

Some people don’t know what responsibility is though and can’t admit to mistakes 🙈

[abstract gate]

Eating a whole Turkey, a leg of lamb, a rack of beef, a family size lasagne and four triple quarter pounders takes practice.

You don’t accidentally do that.

[near sequoia]

man u cant compare game mechanics with essential cooking skills

[abstract gate]

It’s like you’re on 168, but I know the people with a Pilum and can count them on two fingers 🤣

[near sequoia]

yeah but on our server only 1 player has a pillum

only 5.players 40+

the funniest i saw was during FKR armada events ppl hosting in neutral systems

they dont read nothing 😂😂😂😂

[abstract gate]

Yeah, but those people are casual players.

They barely score, do their stuff, have some fun

Nothing against them.

[near sequoia]

THATS what insaid from beginning

[abstract gate]

Casual players did not place top five in that event.

[near sequoia]

u cant say that about casuals was my first argument

they do

cuz activity low on our server

[abstract gate]

No way, no how, that kind of suggestion needs examples.

[abstract gate]

Lowest 5th place score, and what Ops bracket.

[near sequoia]

let.me.take screen

[abstract gate]

Cmon.

[near sequoia]

but dont get jealous 😂

[abstract gate]

I don’t care, I want to do Ops 42 in the next BP so I had to do all the upgrading I did.

[abstract gate]

What Ops level?

[near sequoia]

i can win anything i want without any effort 😂

36-38

[abstract gate]

Well you didn’t, you can third.

But yeah.

[near sequoia]

i explained earlier if i wanted i could

but 18 uncommon ore not worth it

[ornate geyser]

A lot of events start becoming not worth it once you hit 35+

[abstract gate]

So the very most you could have done if you had completely neglected them was three-five upgrades on your platforms, because I think the last mandatory platform upgrade before Ops39 is 33?

Which is not the sort of thing at those Ops levels you take particularly lightly.

[near sequoia]

no u need for 36 35.platforms afaik

[abstract gate]

Nope.

There may be one but that isn’t it.

Wonder if @chrome rune could engineer a “this is a dependency of” type lookup for buildings.

[near sequoia]

y 33

checked

stfc.space

[abstract gate]

Ripper’s page.

[near sequoia]

33 is the last u need your platforms.maxed

y ik

[abstract gate]

That’s what I checked, but it be handy to be able to say “Defence Platform D 41 is a prerequisite to Ops 42”; a reverse lookup as it were.

[near sequoia]

he has engineered already if u filter ops u can adjust level then u see requirements

ahhhhh ok

[abstract gate]

I want to see the other way.

[near sequoia]

now i got it

i had a sheet where u can find it the other way

let.me check if i find, it was from lcars if im not mistaken

[chrome rune]

👀

[abstract gate]

Anyway, still, unless you’re neglecting something 35M is still a strong score for 36-38. Granted it’s lower than the biblical scores on some servers, but it’s not the sort of thing you would typically happen upon by accident.

[abstract gate]

Hai

Was just saying how handy it would be to be able to pick a building (such as Dilithium Vault 41) and have it show what it is prerequisite to.

Handy to look at your neglected buildings and scan up the levels to see when you might need to have it upgraded by.

[chrome rune]

Never upgrade any building unless you have to 😅

[abstract gate]

Exactly 🤣

But then Dilithium Vault 41 turns up and

[ember walrus]

Well if that is it for events today its a break day

[south arrow]

Watch them not give us faction hunt

[strange bear]

Is… the store gone too?

[true heron]

Wasn’t there supposed to be a New Years event starting today? It’s gone from the news thing now

[abstract gate]

No store crappy event

[thick robin]

So second day with essentially no events?

[strange bear]

Maybe the grown ups are just late and the interns fcked up

[thick robin]

The last week has been pretty lack luster with events

[keen ledge]

New Years event starts Dec 30th

We're checking on the missing IGN though.

[true heron]

Ah ok cool 👍

This, uh, seems a little harsh. By my math the difference between maxing/scrapping a lvl 26 ship at 35 vs 39 is about 10% of the raw cost, or 600-ish uc and 120-ish rare. That's not nothing, but as an additional cost for having certain primes available at 35 instead of at 39 it doesn't seem unreasonable for people who aren't going to be pushing all the way up to 39 in a couple of months. Is there something else i'm missing here?

[abstract gate]

The rate at which you collect 3* at 39 vs 35 is almost astronomically different.

[ripe jungle]

How much 3* do you get in a month?

[abstract gate]

By the time you add up daily events, better in-arc events, better BP rewards and better refines, it is a ridiculous amount different, and the useful quantity of a scrapped 26 ship is vanishingly small.

[abstract gate]

At a guess, somewhere around 6-7k UC all in I think.

[ripe jungle]

Across all three or each?

[abstract gate]

Across all three. Maybe even a bit more.

Plus anything in packs.

[ripe jungle]

That’s… not astronomically different

That’s… not astronomically different

[abstract gate]

Then I’m underestimating it.

Pre-39 maxing Sally I had to save.

[ripe jungle]

I get around 4K across all three at ops 32-33

[abstract gate]

Post-39 I can build and max D3s for fun mid-month.

[abstract gate]

So… it is then.

As the big change is 38

[ripe jungle]

4K vs 6k is not what I would call “astronomic” 😂

[abstract gate]

Bear in mind at 39, your buildings stop needing G3

So you’re not saving some for those
