[zinc sun]

So you would say that it's better that we fight for 38s and 39s and at best have to hit 96 hostiles at your estimation of 10 points each for each faction??

Why doesn't anyone ever think about it from the perspective of making this game better for others overall vs personal game?

[neat mirage]

3-4 ships in a lvl32 system and you are done within minutes.

[hardy parcel]

most of us hit around 100 hostiles per faction. it's nothing

[zinc sun]

All I am saying is that it's lopsided...

[simple spear]

I'm ops 43 and I hit level 37s

[zinc sun]

And no one agrees on that point?

[hardy parcel]

it's fine. the rewards are worth the effort

[zinc sun]

If that system is left all to yourself or has minimal players in it....

[neat mirage]

There are enough systems for you to find an empty one

[zinc sun]

Listen.... I get that we all have different experiences across the different servers... point is if there is a suggestion... then perhaps look into it...

[simple spear]

I get that but like I said earlier this point had been brought up many times. I used to do what you do and aim for high hostiles with one ship but it's just not an effecient approach.

[zinc sun]

This is supposed to be a supportive place for all players to come and get help and share ideas.... but what ends up being communicated is how dare you make a suggestion or comment about how to make the game better or less like a job and you get blasted. It's dumb.

[teal holly]

I think you might have better luck at #💭-suggestions

[simple spear]

It's also a place where we share info to get events done, I never blasted you. Just offering some experience in how to complete going forward

[zinc sun]

Perhaps... just will find the same baulking response. It doesn't matter. Just as much as it is disparaging to fill out those dumb Scopely surveys over and over stating that for the 1,000th time FIX the freaking PvP ranges... sigh.... it doesn't matter.

[scenic kernel]

I had rather do faction hunt than kill worms 🤣

[zinc sun]

Tip: if you live in Territories, Worms are the fastest way to earn good ship XP with minimal warp time.... just saying.

[abstract gate]

Reward is based on effort in.

If you don’t care for stuff, do two milestones.

If you want all the rewards, do all the milestones.

If you want stuff for no effort, buy packs.

FWIW, if them’s your milestones up there, my top one is 1220.

[zinc sun]

No go on that ghost rider.... I prefer to not live in the Dog House. Happy Wife = Happy Life.

[zinc sun]

That's just stupid...

[abstract gate]

Aside from doing the Fed one in Ty’Gokor for the crates, I do them in Lv36 systems with a Lego and a Flower to XP them for scrapping.

Takes me about 20 minutes tops.

Each faction.

[zinc sun]

@abstract gate what's the power of your said ships?

[abstract gate]

About 800-900k

Wrong crew but doesn’t matter what I put on it, stats are maxed

[zinc sun]

Hmmm. Well, I like to maximize my Faction Hunt with my Faction Dailies so I have to at least hit 39s...

@abstract gate just curious... what's your OPS lvl?

[abstract gate]

41

Faction dailies take me ten minutes.

Easier to tackle them separately or to do your faction daily then do faction hunt as I described.

[zinc sun]

Wait... so your not using your strongest ships for Faction Hunt?

[abstract gate]

No

That thing is slower than my kid.

[zinc sun]

An Augur? If so, I agree

[abstract gate]

Check the way points scale

Two/three ships hitting hostiles at Lv32-36 take no time at all.

Locked, so don’t have that issue. Take a cheap miner and crash it into your tail.

My poor envoys sacrificed themselves repeatedly until I locked.

[zinc sun]

Me too, I am triple locked, but I hear your pain @median slate

@abstract gate what other ships are you using for Faction hunt is not for your Augur?

I am leading with the Enty and then Sally

[abstract gate]

You need to do some research 😅

[zinc sun]

But now you have me second guessing my approach

[abstract gate]

For a nearly T6 Enterprise, that is reeeeeeeally bad.

[zinc sun]

You're probably right

[zinc sun]

Which tree of mine do you want to see?

[abstract gate]

Mine’s T3 😅

[zinc sun]

🤬

Lol

[abstract gate]

I use T3 D4, Sally and Lego.

Lego PMC, D4 Wes/Bev/Data, Sally has Pan/Kuron.

[zinc sun]

Damn

[abstract gate]

Mine’s only 2.15M 😟

[zinc sun]

That's your Sally...

[abstract gate]

🤣

[zinc sun]

Hilarious @pale wind

[abstract gate]

He’s many things.

He isn’t that.

[abstract gate]

Definitely research needed, out of the box with research

Hi Ops and paper ships

hmm

What fun is there in avoiding PvP? 👀

How do i kill these with Balsa wood ships

[simple spear]

I mean. Amardas and missions and reaching further deep space for better nodes more missions bigger armadas more loot

Literally everything there is to do except pvp

[abstract gate]

lol

[simple spear]

I don't grind reds non stop but I need to hit them at some point

[abstract gate]

Its a mission

L51 mission is 2.5B Dilithium

[simple spear]

Warp particle, ion particle. Other good stuff

Credits mostly

There are so many deep space missions once you get warp 125, you'll fly whatever 42 you have around for weeks getting them done

[abstract gate]

They aren't all compulsory but the chains are if you want to research

[zinc sun]

@abstract gate your name is one letter off from this guy...

[elder comet]

Hold my warp speed researches

[zinc sun]

Yep, so research obviously changes the Faction event for everyone... and mine is seriously lacking. BUT I still blame Scopely for making almost every upgrade require God awful amounts of Gas

[bitter snow]

Those missions aren't especially hard, either... Its just range, which outside of the warp particle is solely ship tier

[elder comet]

I somehow wish they would add a multiplier to faction hunt if we use cloak. I mean what's it good for anyway 😂

[bitter snow]

It feels like that when you're tiering an ent 😂

Research is actually pretty balanced in which mats it takes... Think klingon firepower taking gas at one point was a kick to the gonads though

If you're intending to go upward though, there's not much reason to take any ship past t4/5

[zinc sun]

I mean.... cmon! I have to freaking choose??? Slowing me way way down, Scopely. You are doing me dirty, dog....

[bitter snow]

My epics are still t4, because they were good enough (and can still kill an OK number of 46-48s, about ten to a hull) with PMC

Jelly is t5 because I wanted range (95 with the +10)

Maxed saladin because "that's what you do"

Tinga is t4 so far, but ran out of steam

Regardless of what CCs tell you, you don't need anything else on the ships

Unless you want to

But if you want to head upward and get those better event payouts, you do need the turrets

You don't need the research until bridging 40, but when rss is so cheap, just keep the research queues busy

With a focus on efficiency and speed

Yep, that's what shields are for

Though my wings kept up, coz I keep running into research that needs them

Science lab is on the way to 42 now, so I can finish off pure (gas?) one of them anyhow

[bitter snow]

You built it!

T2?

Just need a parabellum...

Or any gas/dil event

Tbh, apex cow might be enough...

[abstract gate]

You never run out of gas.

no Flower to scrap ?

[sour plaza]

Yup the event is gone now, used to have one that awarded latinum and officer xp for spending ship XP. Its gone and replaced with the spend materials/ship parts one that is pretty terrible tbh.

[abstract gate]

Ohhhh no.

I thought they let that die on the old dead servers.

[drifting bridge]

Goes when you hit ops 29/30 I think

[sour plaza]

I want it back 🥺

[ripe jungle]

Nope I’m 33 and just had a double ship xp event yesterday

[robust vapor]

For me the event was a change from XP to G4 parts, so I'd say at least some servers won't get the change until say ops 40, maybe 39.

[drifting bridge]

Hmm, weird

[meager spindle]

I think it’s server dependent. I don’t have the event since ops 24 or so.

[scarlet palm]

Skin

[waxen sedge]

As I understand, the spend materials on ships event is for older servers, newer ones still have spend XP events. My server is from early 2020 and we still get the ones to spend ship XP.

[robust vapor]

what ops are you? 🤔

[abstract gate]

Is that the Saladin?

[dire veldt]

that's a Kelvin, 4* mats is the giveaway

[abstract gate]

OH. I panicked when I thought that was The Saladin. I was like wtf?

[waxen sedge]

43

[robust vapor]

and you still have XP? 😥 Jellly.. I'm positive I had it right up until 39/40..

[waxen sedge]

Ah, maybe it is server age and ops too, but yeah we still have ship xp. When the event changes does it still alternate rewards between g3 stuff and officer stuff (ultra and premium tokens and XP)?

That and the research/station events are my main source of ultra recruit tokens, I try to do them every time when it is the 6 hour for 1320 ultras.

[robust vapor]

research and station are such a rort, I never bother with them 😂

I basically never look at the ship one since it changed to parts for me though, it's just a dumb scoring mechanic that I can't afford..

[waxen sedge]

I can usually do research, station is more rare, but lately I have been able to do a few as I was able to level drydocks to 43, it was only like 300 or 400 rare G4 crystal to do them so I felt like it wasn't going to shortchange me in an auction elsewhere spending it. 7,000 power each so I just had to come up with a little elsewhere on vaults or junk.

[robust vapor]

maybe I'm just too jaded these days, I just spend on my station when it's available now; events or not 😂

[waxen sedge]

I still hoard for the most part, although being in the 40s and with the auctions being so inflated due to g4 materials, I will do researches that use a few hundred g3 here and there as needed.

Pretty much anything over a thousand something I am sitting on still.

[weak copper]

The Ship Upgrade SLB’s can be worth keeping an eye on. On our server there’s often only 1 or 2 people participating in them so it’s basically guaranteed rewards, assuming you have the parts & mats

[waxen sedge]

I presume they get wild if/when they happen during an auction though.

[lilac hamlet]

Is there a way to know which events will take place between each Monthly Part Events? For example, Faction Hunt ends today. What event will start when it ends?

[abstract gate]

The one that starts in an hour and a half.

That’s the best clue anyone will give you.

[uneven peak]

It's usually Faction Hunt, followed by Crucible of War, followed by Apex. But nothing is guaranteed

[dire veldt]

Besides getting a job in scopely and working your way up to event planner, 5mins is all the notice you'll get 😩

[lilac hamlet]

😂😂 Okay! So there is no Calendar or anything like that available to know if Crucible of War, Borg, or Apex Outlaw is starting next.

[abstract gate]

Assuming the client works.

Also, they plan this?

[hardy parcel]

Usually faction hunt, crucible of war abd if we are super lucky, apex

[abstract gate]

I had a suspicion they had a dartboard of events and decided that way 😂

[dire veldt]

If it doesn't work, switch apps and switch back. If that doesn't work, trade in your iphone for a decent phone

https://tenor.com/view/teletubbies-dipsy-teletubby-running-running-late-gif-16009851

[lilac hamlet]

I thought that it would be Crucible next, and then Apex or Borg. (I want that Vi'Dar Skin. That's why I want the Borg event to show up.)
Thank you all for your input.
Thank you, @abstract gate for your sense of humor! 😄

[abstract gate]

I have a hunch it will be CoW then Apex. Both have been quiet for a while.

[hardy parcel]

we had apex end of last part so I'm not getting my hopes up for that lol. CoW is my bet

[dire veldt]

please be borg... please be borg....

[unkempt panther]

https://tenor.com/view/resistance-is-futile-gif-10676668

[hardy parcel]

opus grande would be nice too

[unkempt panther]

Isn't that SLB part of Apex any time it runs?

[waxen sedge]

I'd prefer borg to either apex or cow, but it'll probably be apex/cow.

[abstract gate]

Apex… Apex… Apex…

[hardy parcel]

I need Apex, I'm out of medals lol

[dire veldt]

I missed out on maxing 6of10 by a week for last megacube run, 2months later and he's still waiting....

[abstract gate]

I heard @keen ledge wanted Apex too.

[celest cloud]

Our server (#188) seems to have Ship XP events at all Ops, I still get it at Ops 43.

[molten cloak]

I thought borg was the filler when there was an extra week between arcs? So CoW or Apex I guess.

[viral yarrow]

This is scopley even they don't know what event to put up they just close there eyes and press the button and hope for the best 😂😂

[ripe grail]

Both apex and borg

[molten cloak]

I’m sure they delegate it to the office cat

[dire veldt]

COW 😴

[cursive tide]

This is scopely, even when they do know the event they screw it up, pull it after it's released and then reduce the rewards by 82%

[lilac hamlet]

Thank you for the update, @dire veldt . My phone is on the charger.

[cursive tide]

If the scopely dev's ever go an entire month where Rev Deuce doesn't release a "ya screwed up scopely" video, the whole department gets fired.

[viral yarrow]

Cow it is just appeared

[hardy parcel]

yep, was always going to be CoW but sometimes we get Apex or Borg as well

[tawdry minnow]

Cow event done , back to sleep then ? 🤣😭😭😭😭😭

[untold pendant]

Oof, kill 500 level 36 hostiles, I can kill one of those per trip. Cool cool cool

[waxen sedge]

(they want you to build the ship)

[untold pendant]

Listen you put that ship in my shop or a pack with 10k fed credits and I will build the ship

Hint hint Scopely

[waxen sedge]

It's not in your store?

I have never gotten the event, but the bp packs are always in my store during COW so I figured that's what they are expecting people to do if they get Military Supremacy.

[ripe jungle]

First time I did nothing, second time I collected my sally, third time I used my sally to kill 500 hostiles 🤣

[untold pendant]

Nope, no sally in the store. I do have the d’vor, Franklin, discovery, and North Star (this thing is obsolete at my level haha) all in the store today

Maybe I gotta buy more premium ships before they’ll offer me some salad

[wind fog]

Since people always ask about MilSup event, here’s an FYI: I recently went to ops 32 and now I have MilSup event (after not having it the last few months). It wants me to build the faction 32 rare ships.

[desert laurel]

what's that one in the middle then?

[wind fog]

🤦‍♂️

[white river]

Your sms in CoW is the solo milestone I’m pretty sure

[waxen spoke]

I was miss reading as a solo slb

My bad

Blonde morning

[cosmic knoll]

Nice gift guys. Happy with it

[teal holly]

I got Military supremacy. I’m dual faction. They want me to build that second ship. I’ll just kill 500 hostiles instead

[waxen spoke]

What gift?

[cosmic knoll]

Check gift chests

Syndicate XP and Picard shards

[untold pendant]

When can you get Picard shards? Does he join the roster at level 30?

[desert laurel]

He might be walking Harrison's path, haven't seen a regular source for him, but he's been offered a few times from SLBs and from the shop

[white river]

I’m starting to think that military supremacy is given at random and there’s no criteria you have to meet to obtain it. You just have to hope and pray that it appears when CoW comes along.

[simple spear]

The only for sure thing is, once you unlock path to deep space you'll no longer get it

[viral yarrow]

<@&509691205798592532> Thats what they call a sorry chest syndicate xp and 5 picard shards. While because of there mess up some got billions of steel and thousands of mats extra unbelievable. I knew scopley was tight but they have surpassed scrouge with that.
I would love to be able to give it back to them right where the sun doesn't shine

[quiet harness]

It's probably when you aren't leveling up ops for a few months.
I got it regularly till last month for thr past 4 months. Now that I am 34, its a no show

[cosmic knoll]

Personally I thought it was a nice gift

Picard shards are hard to get

And syndicate xp is quite useful

Complaining gets you know here lol

Know where

[crisp current]

Nowhere....

[waxen sedge]

The amount in the gift is about what the daily chest should be though.

[south sigil]

Oddly half my alliance has military supremacy and half doesn't, it doesn't appear related to level. Any other idea why?

[south sigil]

No where?

[hardy parcel]

it has to do with a lot of things. what ships you have, how much you spend and how recently etc etc @south sigil

[cosmic knoll]

The daily chest sections

[south sigil]

So only certain people get military supremacy? That's interesting I have never noticed that beforw

[waxen sedge]

It could be related to level, I don't think there is any 39+ version of the event. Server 69 might be too new to have many people that high though.

[hardy parcel]

It's always been that way. some people in my alliance get it all the time. I've seen it once lol

[south sigil]

We have sub lvl 25 who have it and our admiral at 31 has it, but me at 26 doesnt

[hardy parcel]

no it's not just level

[waxen sedge]

Correct. If you don't have it, consider that a backhanded way of the game telling you that you have appropriate ships for your level. That's the only consolation.

[waxen sedge]

I know there is more to getting it at the available ops levels than just your level, I am saying that once you are 39 it doesn't matter as nobody gets it. They haven't coded a 39+ version that I am aware of.

[hardy parcel]

Ah I get you, yes I agree.

[wind fog]

It’s a combination of ops, rep, and what ships you’re missing

[waxen sedge]

It's ultimately an event to try and get players to buy ship bp packs in the store, coincidentally those are always on offer at the same time. It seems to be that you need to have the ability via the shipyard level and faction rep to build a particular faction ship but you haven't yet. So the game gives you this event that you can complete by building the ship(s). Then there's an alternative path to completion that is grind an immense number of hostiles, there (this is my opinion) to show such a disparity between that and building the ship that people choose the latter to complete.

[south sigil]

I guess being 26 with mayflower im good, but our admiral needs to build one of his faction ships

[wind fog]

I didn’t see event at 30 or 31, what ships is he missing?

[south sigil]

B'Rel I think

He could be 32 now

[wind fog]

You have to be 32

Ok, then same as me

Basically, as stated earlier, it’s just their way of getting you to buy the ship packs and build the ships

[south sigil]

Yeah he is 32, I missed him upgrading

And that makes sense

[waxen sedge]

I have always seen good rewards from the event (never got it myself coming up through the ranks) so if you have time to do the grind it may be worth it. From those in my alliance that have it I always hear complaints about a lack of the appropriate level hostiles being available as everybody with the event are chasing them.

[south sigil]

I got it at least once in my 20s but didn't notice the discrepancy till now

[wind fog]

Rewards don’t look that good, some rare and uncommon mats, but very small numbers, and some trit tokens

[white river]

You can also get progress by tiering up certain faction ships

[hardy parcel]

It was pretty good rewards last year but compared to recent events it's barely worth it

[plucky ermine]

Thanks for the gift

[fringe oxide]

Question to clarify for my alliance. On the CoW Alliance Milestone, you need to score in each individual milestone to get those individual milestone rewards correct?

[abstract gate]

Yes

[waxen sedge]

Ah, didn't know that. Makes it a little easier perhaps.

[fringe oxide]

Someone said you only needed to gain points at milestone one to get every milestone reward

[ripe jungle]

To get the alliance milestone rewards you need to just score

[fringe oxide]

That doesn’t answer my question

[ripe jungle]

What was your question then? Individual milestone event you only get rewards if you reach that milestone, just like any other sms event

[fringe oxide]

The phrasing in the event seem to imply you need to score every milestone

No AMS

[ripe jungle]

No, if you don’t score before your alliance crosses the first milestone, but score after that, you lose out on that first milestone

But will get the rest

[fringe oxide]

But scoring in the first and ONLY the first would give you every milestone after?

Doesn’t make much sense and it’s worded very confusingly in the AMS event

[abstract gate]

Sorry, yes. I misunderstood what you were asking

You miss out on any rewards the alliance gets before you score

[ripe jungle]

You need to score in the event is all, not in between each milestone

So once you score before your alliance reaches the first, you’ll get everything even if you don’t score at all after that

[abstract gate]

But you might get kicked for being a leech 🤣

[ripe jungle]

Yes the only milestones you’ll miss scoring between are the ones where you were asleep 😂

[ornate geyser]

What if your first points are the points that push the alliance over the first milestone?

[inner ermine]

ive killed ships and still half way to the first marker lol not cool that the ship points dropped what is it like 500 kills to complete event or is it 1000 i dont have time for that

if i could kill lvl 60 ships it would be ok but most cant event a dud

[quiet harness]

If you mean MS, it has always been 500 ships

[ripe jungle]

Over three days, so it’s not that bad if you have a ship that can hit the required level

[ripe jungle]

Test it and let us know 🤷‍♂️

[earnest hornet]

actually you dont need to now, it used to be that way, but even if you dont score a point before the first milestone then you'll still get the all rewards once you score a point

@ripe jungle

[hardy parcel]

Yeah it doesn't matter when you score (as long as you score before the final milestone is reached) you get all the rewards from the milestones as long as you get a point.

[earnest hornet]

yup thats right, despite the warning in the event, saying otherwise, it is no longer necessary

[snow vessel]

@everyone Hello 2022! Lots of new and exciting things coming, but first, let’s clean up an inventory item shall we? In moments, if you have a remaining balance, a converter will appear for you to convert your Ship Skin Shard Trackers into Refit Shards for the Augur, USS Enterprise, and D4. This converter will ONLY be live until Jan 10th at 9AM PST.

Be sure to convert them now. They will be of lesser value after 9AM PST on Jan 10th.

Happy New Year!

where is this event ??? about what fragments are we talking about ?? about disguise or what. who knows who will show??????

[neat owl]

It isn't an event

It is just a converter

[viral yarrow]

If you havnt got surplus trackers the convertor won't appear for you

[neat owl]

For the people who had a useless currency lying around

[uneven peak]

Ship Skin Tracker Shards. If you have any you get the converter in the Gifts section. If you don't have any this doesn't apply to you.

[oak knoll]

Alliance CoW ranking event needs a reward upgrarade. Doesn't cover the trit used to repair ships.

[ripe jungle]

Interesting, I’ve seen that in other alliance SMS’s, I think I even scored once only after my alliance had finished all the milestones, but always thought the warning on this one meant it was special

[shrewd light]

<@&509690795536941056> can we get server eu 128 unlocked this week so we can progress past ops 39. Its getting full up here.

[elder comet]

No.

[ornate geyser]

Yeah that's how it seems to work for me/us....just score before the event ends.

[ashen linden]

Does anyone know how it is determined who gets the military supremacy event?

[earnest hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/that-is-the-biggest-mystery-willy-wonka-and-the-chocolate-factory-is-the-biggest-secret-its-the-most-mysterious-thing-nobody-knows-that-gif-21430284

[fleet jay]

One of the triggers for it seems to be not having one of the highest level ships available to you yet. For instance, I've been seeing the military supremacy event since I was at ops 32. I ignored the ops 32 ships. I'm currently ops 35 (and just a few days away from getting my Augur), and I'm seeing the event yet again, because I still do not have an ops 34 ship yet either. However, I don't recall ever having this event when I did have the highest level ship available to me.....

I'm sure there are other variables involved, but that seems to be one of them.

[earnest hornet]

That has been thought to be in the past, but also has been debunked by other people, the true answer is no one actually know, and any possible options are pure theory

It also seems that the variables have changed over time, so what may have been in the past may not be true now

[abstract gate]

I have never seen it

[abstract gate]

It never did.

[neat barn]

that might be why they mentioned it

[edgy helm]

I have military supremecy since i reached the required Minimum Level. I never wanted it and i mostly only reach Milestone two. My progession in Game is slow but, in my Level bracket, i have the Strongest ships. May that Help you to Determinante it.

[ornate geyser]

Not even Scopely knows

[robust vapor]

I still reckon that Ripper knows, but that he just won't tell us 😂

[abstract gate]

First you have to join a real alliance.

[ashen linden]

😵😵

[ember walrus]

Sacrifice 3 goats at midnight while dancing counterclockwise around the entrails

[ashen linden]

🤣🤣

[ember walrus]

Cow ranking is really just bragging rights rather like lat rush. With regards to effort vs rewards

[elder comet]

Generally the weaker your fleet the more likely get it. It also depends on what ships you do not own yet.
If you upgrade your ships and reach a certain threshold you won't get the event. It is very likely they take an average of a playerbase of a certain player range e.g. 35-36 and see how strong their ships are and take that as the base line. I always had the event as I only upgrade my ships to t4. Back then a mate upgraded his ships to t6+ and had pretty strong ships compared to the other players on the server. Next time the event came up he didn't get it but I did. Similar with other players on my server.
Also the event description tells you to strengthen your fleet so another big indication it's fleet related.

Back in the days Military Supremacy was quite a good event hence the effort. But these days it's deprecated and takes too much effort tbh. Now with arc and free battle pass it's obsolete. Just rush ops for better rewards.

[robust vapor]

Funnily enough, I had the exact opposite experience. I had it after upgrading a ship.

It's been the same theories brought up every time it runs for the last 2 years, and they didn't hold up 2 years ago..

[errant abyss]

next arc next tuesday?

[ember walrus]

Hopefully and hopefully it will be the end of duality

[meager spindle]

An alliance mate of mine is ops33 for months, gladius t8, and gets MS…

[desert laurel]

why hold at 33?

[wind fog]

He probably gets it for not having the other 32 ships

[ripe jungle]

And I have no 32 ship and didn’t get it. Let’s just accept that anyone who knows how it actually works isn’t talking.

[robust vapor]

I just can't understand why it's the exact same back and forth every time the event runs.. 2 years I've been watching the same things get rehashed 😶

[tender plaza]

Anyone got the January event calendar yet?

[dapper drum]

and it not always about the ships

I had all 3 epics built from 35+ when I went 38 I had 2 cow events no MS, next cow I had MS, only thing that changed between those other 2 was I had 2/3 of my 2nd ent BP's collected

I had no MS from 34+ after I built my first ent, I had no rares and only a collection of 28's 2 to 3 of each

but I had MS from 28 to 34 and only ships I skipped were the rares

[ocean juniper]

I did not have MS the first day. Leveled OPS up, and it appeared on the second day.
shrug

[desert laurel]

that's interesting, from what level to what?

[scenic kernel]

No. Scopely probably doesn't have it either 🤣

[twilit kestrel]

any rumors about next Arc?

[hardy parcel]

Duality part 4
Plus a new "feature" related to raiding

[twilit kestrel]

@hardy parcel please tell me more if can

[hardy parcel]

That's all I've heard so far, find out next Tuesday most likely

[twilit kestrel]

Ohh really 🤔 thought might have some idea maybe thank you

[hardy parcel]

Your guess is as good as anyone else's 🤣

[shrewd light]

Maybe a shield breaker 😅

[tepid kraken]

Maybe you can raid gas ore crys? 🙈

[fathom violet]

Raiding materials would be soul destroying haha

[tepid kraken]

Yeah 🙈

[fathom violet]

Im gonna go on a rampage if they add it bahaha

OC, Raiding rss, raiding mats and generally being a menace

My miners will never have to work a day again

[twilit kestrel]

Is this the last arc then 🤔

Because I'm hoping for the event store 🙏

[fathom violet]

Yes please!!! I ran out of faction credits and neeeeed Blueprints haha

[tender plaza]

If they add mats to raiding bases I think you're going to see a lot of rage quitting. They haven't introduced a new ship in this arc, so I'm guessing that's what it will be.

[scenic kernel]

or a survey ship with very big cargo and slow mining

[tender plaza]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. NS on steroids for base cracking

2 million cargo and power

[fathom violet]

No more miners... give us new Romulan officers that actually work or useful

Or better faction/Independant credits sourcing... Kahn and borgs are so hard to upgrade

[south arrow]

2 million cargo is tiny and a waste

[full notch]

If raiding Mats is a thing, we need material tokens and vaults

[ornate geyser]

2M is less than faction miners are already at.

20M and huge warp/impulse speed... maybe we have something to talk about.

If raiding mats is a thing, I quit, lol

[full notch]

A quicker way to earn Rogue Rep would be nice

Having to do Armadas to get rep sucks!

[uneven peak]

Everything gets more expensive when you increase your rogue rep. You don't want it to go too quickly.

[shrewd light]

No assention event on server 128 scopley is a joke

[uneven peak]

How often does ascension run?

[dire veldt]

Every Friday usually

[uneven peak]

Many thanks

[shrewd light]

Can someone make some noise at scopley for me as I'm getting annoyed at being gated and people being able to catch up so my advantage is ruined

[full notch]

I stuck with low level Stella ugh

[tawny marsh]

New raider starts at 10m

[full notch]

Aye, carumba

[ornate geyser]

What?

[abstract gate]

they couldn't put a good officer in this event

picard or better

[ember walrus]

You don't like extra warp with 100% pc bonus

[hardy parcel]

No pleasing some people 🤣

[full notch]

It's not an event

[twilit kestrel]

🤣

[south arrow]

Thanks for the next 3 days off appreciate it( insert sarcasm) worst crapp event of alll time

[gusty coral]

No apex event 😭

[north pike]

And to add insult to injury there is no 3 of 11 in the event store. Come on scopely give those of us that didn't buy or win in SLB a chance to get her 😡😡😡

[pulsar fossil]

Why does the Apex event keep getting skipped? If scopley is so determined to run this mini borg event please start rotating other stuff. Leave out CoW or Faction hunt so we don’t loose apex all the time. We literally had faction hunt as part of the New Years stuff. Could have skipped it this past week and run Apex

[twilit kestrel]

Thanks scopely screwed us again

No Apex 🤷‍♀️👿

[main spindle]

What no apex damit i was looking forward to trying to get the shards for my stella refit skin

[distant barn]

Oh. BORG event 😒

[south arrow]

Scopley always says they want less screen time for its players well they have achieved it congrats 🤣

[pulsar fossil]

This borg event needs to be reworked. It takes me like 4 trips killing probes to finish it and only gives enough currency for 3 officer shards. Complete garbage

[cold horizon]

Something is not right with borg sms:

Lvl38 player

Lvl27 player

[rose sphinx]

What happened to APEX? We were told that would be a monthly event! APEX is so much better than the Borg event….it is just awful!

[vague breach]

Is there a good way to kill probes without a vdar, or did scopely just jack me on the next event?

[earnest river]

jack u

[vague breach]

dicks

[dense ivy]

is there any way i can still get the vidar? lol im ops 28, shipyard 27, and not looking to spend 136 beaver bucks on a vidar crate lol

[neat mirage]

Vidar tier is important

[somber vault]

tnx for all free borg transwarp cells so we can do event

[pulsar fossil]

Wow, wish I had that lvl 38’s event. I’m 31 and mine is the same as the 27.

[neat mirage]

Its about vidar tier. Not ops

[pulsar fossil]

Oh so because my vidar is maxed I gotta kill for several hours to complete it? Awesome!

[vagrant spade]

will F2P players be able to get the charged nanoprobe pack in the borg event store? mine costs 150k war funds

[icy sedge]

I cannot seem to get any offer to obtain the Vidar; now they just started another Mega Cube event with BORG and still no Vidar offer, I have a maxed level 28 base and about every ship I have seen 2-3 times already in the store, but yet the Vidar I have not seen, how do I get it??

[cold horizon]

If so, it still is amazingly weird. 550 kills in 24h is absolutely a fail

[neat mirage]

Only if you kill the low ones. Kill the 33's and you are done in minutes.

[cold horizon]

Minutes per run to get killed… and still quite some runs needed…

[late dragon]

They could have given tokens. Can’t do anything till tomorrow. Shocking.

[low cargo]

Hmm, 15 shards over 3 days? Gotta love that Scopely maths.

[somber vault]

no transwarp cells. stupid event

[earnest river]

Gg scopely only way to do mega cube event cheers for a few days off 😂

[abstract gate]

when did scopley removed the free borg systems the ones in which you didnt need the transwarp cells???

[humble thorn]

Well all done with that event

[restive jackal]

to make money

[humble thorn]

Even the cost of directives is nuts in event store

[scenic kernel]

A couple of hours after they added them. They weren't suppose to be free.

[lavish hinge]

😂

Like right away

[vague breach]

3 day event what a joke

[north pike]

They were free so you could visit systems without using tokens

[abstract gate]

in our server last way more than few hours...they was there for days at least...

[lavish hinge]

It was a mistake actually.

[somber vault]

no transwarp cells. this year events are geting worse

[vague breach]

New year, lets just Crucible of war and mega cube

maybe get someone who plays the games to make events

[lavish hinge]

This is what I came in to ask. Normally there 2 or 4 transwarp cells given out during this event. Is that happening again?

[lavish hinge]

Given that you didn't know it was locked...how do you know it lasted for days? Lol

[vague breach]

He probably went there?

seems like a silly question to ask

[abstract gate]

because i checked for a few days and then not?!

[somber vault]

scopley way to send a message to players 😁

[vague breach]

also possible, I can think of more reasons lol

[vernal copper]

I honestly believe I could have a real gun and shoot anyone with #Scopelys targeting of hostiles and not hit anything why is every attack in triangle and never most direct path its very frustrating especially in overcrowded systems. <@&509691205798592532>

[normal bane]

<@&509691205798592532> hey can y’all remind scopley the borg officers are “of 11” now not “of 10”. See the event store.

[abstract gate]

You can get them from the event store on a Sunday day evening with the events , or other event stores

[lavish hinge]

Forgive me if I'm skeptical that your server was the only one without locked systems. Seems dubious.

[dense ivy]

thanks mate!

[ripe jungle]

What tier is your vidar? I’m t7 and my top milestone needs around 8 33 probes, and I can kill over double that in one run.

[vague breach]

Nice, what would be your approach to do the event without a vidar?

[ripe jungle]

Skip it

[vague breach]

exactly

[abstract gate]

idk what to say...the fact that lasted only few hours was new to me...maybe we were lucky or more possible scopley mess up!

[vague breach]

a stupid thing to do by scopely

[ripe jungle]

I think at ops 28 it becomes a requirement, below that you can kill regular hostiles if you don’t have a vidar yet

[vague breach]

I bet tomorrow there is a non vidar way to do it

not

[pulsar fossil]

I need 51 lvl 33 to finish. I get about 9 per run. So it’s either repair and return a bunch. Or do lower lvl ones and hav it take forever. Either way it’s a fail

[cold horizon]

Tier 9

[ripe jungle]

This is weird. What’s your top ms, ops and vidar tier? I have 11.65k as top, ops 33, t7 vidar

[ripe jungle]

How many do you need to kill?

[cold horizon]

Just did a run on 32

[pulsar fossil]

Top reward needs just under 80k. Ops 31 tier 9 vidar

[vague breach]

oh so they give under lvl 28 a non vidar way to do it?

Double F you scopely

[ripe jungle]

How come your vidar only kills 9 33s per run??

[vague breach]

ahole thing to do

[ripe jungle]

I can get 18 or 19 at tier 7

[ripe jungle]

Happened to me too when I was 28, only got the vidar at ops 29

[vague breach]

well my problem is not that other players get screwed over, its that they do the screwing over

oh wait, nm, I can go kill the probes and get 5 parts

lets see, how many do I need to.... rip 😛

[eternal violet]

Am I missing something, don't they normally gift a couple of trans warp cells for this event?

[sharp anchor]

2nd Saturday with no cosmic clean-up what a bunch of junk

[weak copper]

Cosmic cleanup runs during arcs, not in between

[woeful tangle]

Why no new borg in the recruit tokens? Didn't they have them in there last time?

[pulsar fossil]

No idea. Got 13 last time with a 33% dog exo up. I just tiered it to 9 it’s lvl 44. Trying some different crews as well to see

[ripe jungle]

I run Picard bev t’laan on my t7, no upgrades. Get 110k or so probes a run.

[elder gyro]

Why not run borg and apex

[vague breach]

or why not provide non vidar players a way to grind the probes

[plucky ermine]

I wouldn't mind apex and borg side by side

or they could have substitued that 3d hostile hunt after New Year for Borg and and now the Apex like in the past

[pulsar fossil]

I can fill my 300k cargo in about 20 min. I usually kill lvl 30 for that. But I’m not looking for loot, just event points.

[coarse leaf]

As a 29 with no vidar, am i screwed for this event?

[vague breach]

I could use all my transwarp cells and only get the first milestone

maybe that is my best option..

I'd get a whole 10 recruit tokens if I did that

[jagged ledge]

That seems to be the case...put in a ticket in game see if they respond

[icy sedge]

I don't have had the Vidar in store at any point, and I am about to level to 29 (somewhere tomorrow afternoon)

[ripe jungle]

I mean on 33s, so that’s just under 20 of them

[bitter kraken]

Why is every good borg officer absent from rewards? They're not in the Store, or the Officer Packs. 😒

[ripe jungle]

You get them in event stores and cosmic cleanup for free

[vague breach]

and while we grind them over 3 to 4 months they give us useless events

their logic sucks, or they just don't care about us

I think its both

[icy sedge]

But I need a Vidar to kill probes in order to get the BP to get the Vidar?!?!

[bitter kraken]

No Borg Stonn, No Borg Baret... no good borg miners 😔

[ripe jungle]

No, cosmic cleanup doesn’t need a vidar, nor do the arc event stores

Putting vidar bps in this store is kind of silly yeah

[vague breach]

They still should give non vidar players a way to participate or run more then 1 event

3 days....

[icy sedge]

I see ships like Mayflower, Dvor, Saladin, Franklin, North Star, but never Vidar

[vague breach]

on Saturdays

event store

[ripe jungle]

Cosmic cleanup starts having vidar bps from ops 25

[icy sedge]

I am currently upgrading Station 29

[ripe jungle]

And the cash store has the vidar a couple times a month at least

[coarse leaf]

Put in a support ticket. Its insane that i cant get the parts i need to participate in the event that has the parts i need to participate…

[icy sedge]

So far nothing at all 😦 I already submitted support ticket :\

[vague breach]

let me guess

Not only do they want me to make the Vidar, they want me to use my uncommon crystal on that too

They are trying to intentionally slow people down is what it is

lets see how much we can do to dilute your uncommon and make you participate

[bitter kraken]

They just ran arc after arc with new borg officers and then run an event and say "nope you can't even have 1 shard of the new toys as a reward" 😐

[vague breach]

I don't need your DM on a Tier 3 vidar ty

[spice berry]

really lousy lousy game when no real way to get directives
and nothing in the reward boxes either
Why bother playing??

[ember walrus]

Then dont

[spice berry]

Im not

just supporting teammates

[vague breach]

He is right, the collection rate for directives sucks, and the chests are not great for such a low collection rate

unless you buy

and the rewards still aren't great, at least at lvl 34

[weak copper]

I love the mechanics of this Event: log on, see event, log off.

[vague breach]

for real

and nothing like opening an Epic armada chest at lvl 34 for 15 hijacked parts

oof

[bold jacinth]

Are they so lazy they do not even adjust the names?

Comeon scopely....

[icy sedge]

And the good ones are missing as well..

[vague breach]

yea someone said that 🙂 I think they need player input on their events

and if they get it now, they need a larger sample pool

[icy sedge]

Games like this are ran by managers and marketing, devs don't care.

[coarse leaf]

The devs care, they probably don’t have a choice

[vague breach]

Yeah I don't think its the dev's fault

they don't pick the events

right? 😄

[gaunt nymph]

really disappointed no Apex event. There literally isn't any other way to get Apex medals for research which sucks

[ember walrus]

Borg is boring

[vague breach]

To point out what I said about armada, I just opened a rare chest

12 uncommon ore

like armada are worse then refining

yuk

[desert laurel]

34 with no vidar? fast leveling or just skipping one of the best ships?

[ember walrus]

Best is debatable. Best daily rewards if you do the grind probably.

[vague breach]

What do you consider fast to lvl 34?

do you realize there are other ships, and other things to do in the game, and that materials are not given liberally?

or maybe they want 1500 Uncommon crystal for a lvl 28 ship, and that some people don't just spend money on everything released?

just out of curiousity

Is this game designed so I shouldn't level until I acquire everything available at that level?

stupid question man. You gave 2 reasons, without knowing anything about my play style

you know what they say about assuming?

[bitter snow]

Maybe not the best ship, but the best utility you can have - regular supply of inde and faction credits

[ember walrus]

As i said best rewards daily

[bitter snow]

Pretty much, if you don't grab stella, vidar and to an extent, the Franklin A as they're available you'll find yourself hamstrung on events

[vague breach]

Yeah I have a stella

I'm 60% of the way to the vidar

[desert laurel]

It's a ship buildable at 25, one that people use forever from that point on. There's pretty much no ship more important than the vidar

[vague breach]

no one needs anything else at 25

and by the time they acquire the parts, they prob are not on lvl 25

because you either buy, cosmic cleanup, or do events

But good to know that everyone should build the vidar at 25

[bitter snow]

But ten levels later? 😳

[vague breach]

So why do soooo many people over lvl 25 on my server not have one?

[bitter snow]

New server?

[vague breach]

at least 6 months old

[desert laurel]

at 25, no. You should start there though from cosmic cleanup. And the game gives you a healthy buffer period before it starts to require vidar for these borg events

[bitter snow]

A baby server...

[vague breach]

which I feels reinforces my points

[halcyon sentinel]

not really

[bitter snow]

With a lot of players aren't going to know they're screwing themselves until it's too late 😂

[halcyon sentinel]

the rushers for power maybe..

[vague breach]

So the players are screwing themselves over

[halcyon sentinel]

people could read up on the game, helps a lot

[desert laurel]

rushers should grab a vidar on the way up, it's not a ship to skip

[bitter snow]

I'm going to be saving my CC tokens from now until I have 6-7 pulls worth before heading to 25, as I want the vidar to be my main grinder for as long as possible...

[ember walrus]

Lack of information from players who made the mistake and of course the game itself

[vague breach]

I'm still waiting for your definition of rush

People do read, your assumptions suck

[halcyon sentinel]

34 6 months, a rusher i'd say

[vague breach]

I've read plenty of stuff about tyhe game

[sullen barn]

get it as soon as you can, don't have to tier it up if you need the rss elsewhere but its one of those things where its better to have it and not be using it than not have it and need to get it

[desert laurel]

you're rushing if you choose to skip development of the vidar to get something else instead

[vague breach]

that is wrong

if the vidar isn't adequately indicated it is "The best ship" , I didn't skip

I am working on it

I just opted for other things

[bitter snow]

Says the person stuck unable to complete an event?

[halcyon sentinel]

60 vidar bps at 34? a rusher

[ember walrus]

My definition of rush is less than 30% of an ops research done and basically any full tier of ship skipped

[bitter snow]

What did you spend the other tokens from cc on?

[vague breach]

I have been spending tokens on ships

goof

you guys say shit that isn't even correct lmao

[halcyon sentinel]

rushing is fine btw bogadu, but shouldnt really complain when you're short in some areas is all

[desert laurel]

which ships did you consider more important than vidar?

[bitter snow]

So, Franklin and discovery?

[vague breach]

so you think because I don't have a vidar I rush

I think that is stupid logic

[bitter snow]

Because both are secondary to the vidar...

[vague breach]

Let me put it this way

I'm glad you think the vidar is a must is common knowledge

Apparently it isn't

look how many people complain

You think I rush? I think I am slow compared to people on my server who spend money

[ember walrus]

Must is a bit of a push but super useful

[bitter snow]

You either rushed, or made silly choices... Which one do you prefer?

[vague breach]

Now I just think you're a dip

you think its either of those 2 things

Just because I can't do 1 event doesn't mean I rushed or made silly choices

[bitter snow]

Every single event store video rev has done (and others), put preference to the vidar...

[vague breach]

I think their logic sucks, I have fun when I play, I made great choices

[bitter snow]

The knowledge is put there

[ember walrus]

For me personally franklin over vidar

[bitter snow]

Really? Ignoring a while section of content is a great choice? 🤣🤣

[ripe jungle]

I knew nothing about the vidar until I hit 25 but I still got it by the time I was going to 29. It doesn’t take that long

[desert laurel]

okay, your great choices led you to this point: unable to do today's event

[vague breach]

Ignored what section of content

?

[ember walrus]

Borg

[vague breach]

You're just making shit up now

I'm getting vidar parts

I just don't have it yet

so you don't think I did it fast enough for you?

[sullen barn]

franklin you start getting early 17-18? and probably should have it before the vidar even shows up at 25?

[vague breach]

doesn't make what you said correct

[halcyon sentinel]

at 34, stop complaining about your mistakes haha

[ripe jungle]

When did you finish your Franklin?

[ember walrus]

How long did it take you to get from 25 to 34

[vague breach]

I'm talking about the event clown

[abstract gate]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-horse-spank-exhausted-wake-up-gif-17245109

[vague breach]

I'm only talking about it still cause you ask

and then you guys say stupid shit not even applicable lol

[ripe jungle]

60 bps means you took two months from the time you finished Franklin to now

[vague breach]

If you do it every saturday maybe

some people have lives, jobs, families

My decisions I made were just fine, I have been playing the game for months having fun with my alliance

[ripe jungle]

Those people don’t usually go to 34 in six months lmao

[vague breach]

so its stupid to think you know better on that front

[halcyon sentinel]

thats great bogadu, continue having fun, now go get that vidar asap

[vague breach]

hard to know when you're in your first server and people are all lvl 39 in the same period

so to me, 34 doesn't seemed rush

I am glad you all think it is

but I have a different definition

[bitter snow]

You literally haven't done it fast enough for you, as you can't do the event 😂

[ember walrus]

6 months to 34. Well dang just shy of 2 years here and only 39 so yes you rushed a bit

[vague breach]

Or you played less?

[ember walrus]

Not really i have yet to miss an event

[ripe jungle]

Do you have a life or not? Make up your mind

[vague breach]

and I said the server was over 6 months old

I very much have a life, classless question dip

[ember walrus]

Under a year?

[ripe jungle]

You can’t say you both played a lot, and don’t have enough time to do one event each week

[vague breach]

oh bull shit

I so can

I play a lot

and I can't do every comsic cleanup

there you go

[ripe jungle]

Just not on saturdays?

[ember walrus]

An event that completes as you do you basic hostile dailies

[bitter snow]

CC just completes on dailies...

[vague breach]

See, more made up shit, just not on saturdays

what kind of stupid statement is that

[ripe jungle]

That’s literally what you just said lol

[vague breach]

If I have vidar parts from CC I obviously play on some saturdays

no, you just are not paying attention

and trying to say snarky generic shit you say to others who comment about the vidar

[ripe jungle]

You don’t play a lot on saturdays if you don’t finish cc

[vague breach]

your details are all wrong

[uneven peak]

This is hilarious 🤣

[vague breach]

Yes, because I only log in saturday to do CC

and nothing else in game

so stupid

[abstract gate]

@vague breach is this an alt account of the dude who was whining about Skin leaderboard

[vague breach]

No, I have no alt accounts

I'm in my first server

[uneven peak]

Cosmic clean up overlaps with dailies, so if you do your dailies you do cosmic clean up alongside it.

[bitter snow]

I've just done 15 to 20 in 4 days, it's plenty easy to miss it

[vague breach]

I know how cosmic cleanup works

There are just lots of messages about it because people are generalizing comments

[bitter snow]

So, pause?

[vague breach]

making a ton of assumptions

[bitter snow]

Just laughing at you tbf

[vague breach]

thats why you're a dip then

[ember walrus]

Brain hurts now from this general discussion gonna go read twitter more thought there

[vague breach]

I mean, thats cool

I'm fine being at 60 parts, you're fine being a dip

lol

[bitter snow]

There's a terrifying thought 😂

[vague breach]

whether its important or not as a ship, doesn't change your behavior

[ripe jungle]

But but you’re not fine being at 60 parts weren’t you just complaining that you can’t do the event

[vague breach]

I said the event sucks

doesn't mean I am not fine with it

I am entitled to my opinion and can voice it

And If you want to debate it

[ripe jungle]

I mean you’ve literally seen the same event before and known you can’t do it then too

[vague breach]

I can debate back

So I elected to provide feedback this time

tough shit?

lol

[bitter snow]

Until 34/35 you don't need the Franklin to do the regular dailies, and can still grind FMs at the same rate as with one, unlike probes which would help you get those faction ships.
With the Franklin efficiency research, I'd rather not start tiering one until you can max the research at 28,whjch is why I'm looking at vidar first, Frank second on my alt

[ember walrus]

My frankie was t8 before the research came out

[bitter snow]

Mine was maxed 😭

[ember walrus]

Ouch

[hardy parcel]

Yeah, it's generally a good idea to pause and take stock every time you unlock a major new piece of content. Then progress again when you are ready.

[bitter snow]

About a week before it landed 😂

[hardy parcel]

Same 🤣

[ember walrus]

We had a player max the night before

[bitter snow]

Oof

[ember walrus]

My second is maxed now

[bitter snow]

But yeah, for new players, I'd say skip frank til the research is in... And only really push it so you can ftp the A

[vague breach]

Like say the meridian

[waxen galleon]

Why oh why have they not by now not figured out that this event is boring as 💩? Maybe they have and they just don’t give a F.

[vague breach]

and then you have to choose which one you unlock over the others

over that year

[ripe jungle]

I’ve been playing less than a year and have all the specialty ships (last one will be 20 disco prints this month) other than sarco

[hardy parcel]

Meridian, fair enough
But vidar, discovery and franklin are all in cosmic cleanup.

[ember walrus]

Meridian is nice as a time saver but other than that could be hard skipped

[vague breach]

resin, research?

[ember walrus]

Do you have to have the meridian for resin refining?

[ripe jungle]

You’ll get half of them from event stores

[abstract gate]

For me the Meridian is one of the important ships, Territory research is invaluable

[vague breach]

I think you rushed getting all those ships in under a year

prob $$$

[bitter snow]

Sourcing always sucks, because they want to encourage spending, but you can plan for it if you know what you're doing, or have advice from somewhere (more likely to get that by being civil 😂)

[ember walrus]

That is a matter of time on a node

[ripe jungle]

I think resin research does require the meridian

[vague breach]

definitely

refining resin at least

[ripe jungle]

But at least at lower levels it’s not that great research anyway

[abstract gate]

Of course, i'd rather mine at 1m/p/h

[vague breach]

if you had some from an ALB you can use it

[desert laurel]

meridian isn't skippable, it's right up there with vidar almost

[hardy parcel]

Every Saturday during the arcs which is far more than the other event stores.
All three shouldn't take too long especially as there are other sources too.

[vague breach]

I think ImperialStout is articulating my points better

[ember walrus]

Did not know resin was locked behind it

[vague breach]

thanks for the comments

[hardy parcel]

Meridian is only in a store once every 4 months or so though.....

[vague breach]

other than the dips talking about having a life and assuming they know how other people play lol

[hardy parcel]

You'd get more constructive comment without the name calling....

[ember walrus]

@vague breach sourcing for 99% of things un this game is bad. Yes priority is important. For low ops skip the disco

[ripe jungle]

30 cc’s for three ships, 10 months, within that time though you’ll have at least 3 event stores I’d estimate, so considerably shorter in reality.

[desert laurel]

Ships are available from arc stores, get what you need and choose wisely, otherwise you'll get stuck waiting for the next one

[vague breach]

If someone tells me I don't have a life, I can call them a dip

imo

It was mild

[ripe jungle]

It is certainly not years

[vague breach]

20 weeks for a sarc, 10 for a disco, 10 for a vidar?

close enough

[hardy parcel]

Don't get a sarc lol

[ember walrus]

Sarco is hard hard skipable

[vague breach]

I'm just saying get all 3 in a year

the timing

I don't need a sarc

[hardy parcel]

That's one that is skippable imo

[bitter snow]

Yeah, just skip the sarc entirely until you have nothing else to buy 😭😂

[desert laurel]

why would you do that? only one is necessary

[vague breach]

I was responding to a comment on timing

[ripe jungle]

30 weeks is close enough to “years”? What sort of nonsense is this

[vague breach]

not saying I want all 3

[hardy parcel]

One from arc store, one from cosmic cleanup

[vague breach]

40/52

and assuming you made every week

yea I think thats close enough to a year for many people's play styles

[ripe jungle]

Dude your math is so broken no wonder you have trouble getting anything

[vague breach]

I said close enough, not exactly

your interpretation is broken

[sullen barn]

get a sarc after 37 when your board and have the extras to get it, before 34 its worthless in a fight then a good sali (maybe, havent actually tested it as no one attacks)

[desert laurel]

timing is fine, but get the good stuff first, leave lower value stuff for later

[vague breach]

thats why I am 60 towards a vidar and not 60 towards a sarc 🙂

[hardy parcel]

I'd go franklin, vidar, disco, meridian personally

[ember walrus]

Well honestly on a new server sacr might be good no g4 or g5 ships that slap it like a bug

[desert laurel]

I'd go vidar first, franklin has no value til much later in your career

[vague breach]

I didn't make the event so I went meridian, cause I have territory and run an alliance

then doing vidar

and just before peanut gallery chimes in

[hardy parcel]

Good call

[vague breach]

I'm not saying I did in Lieu of

because the meridian obviously isn't in CC

[ember walrus]

Meridian just got realy usable with the pc research

Before that it was just asking to get hit if you blinked

Kinda like the change to franklin with frank a and the research to make it sane to wait on it

[hardy parcel]

True.

Reminds me

Got to check mine b4 the pirates come 🤣

[ripe jungle]

I took 3-4 months to ops 25 and got the franklin just after that (one event store), took another 3 months for ops 29 and got the vidar then (second event store finished it), and now that they’ve released the disco in cc will be getting it this month (three months after vidar at ops 33).

I never waited to get the specialty ships but it did not take me “years” to get them either

[ember walrus]

Warning disco eats trit

[ripe jungle]

Build or repairs?

[ember walrus]

Build and tier

[halcyon sentinel]

dont worry you'll be waiting on sdc's rather than trit anyway lol

[hardy parcel]

Also the meridian is so useful it's the only ship I bought for ££ in the last 2 years.

[ripe jungle]

I got a billion trit with all the events and I think I only have enough parts to go to tier 4 yeah

[ember walrus]

Pre research total cost

[bitter snow]

Just hit 20 on my alt, which started between Christmas and New year 😂
But also planning to take a good 2 months between now and 25, so that when it runs I can grab the vidar ASAP

Cannot do the top 2 swarm dailies in a reasonable number of hulls yet, but it'll happen soon, and I can do my faction dailies 😁

[ember walrus]

Swarm dailies really matter post frank a

[bitter snow]

Definitely, but that's after the fm reduction research is maxed 👀

[ripe jungle]

I remember I just skipped the swarm for a few months until I got the vahklas tiered up a little

[bitter snow]

If we have an event store this month, I'll be putting it into Franklin, as I won't have access to anything else ship wise yet

[ripe jungle]

Not the disco yet?

[bitter snow]

21

[ember walrus]

My second disco at 39 with good research

[ripe jungle]

Level up and get both?

[bitter snow]

Still get disco refinery pre owning one though

Me be, see how I go

Older server and smashing all the slbs helps 😁

[waxen galleon]

The Borg events are a blast. Thank you Scopely.

[granite frost]

I miss 3 of 11 in the event store and from borg officer pulls, it's been 4 months now since they released her

[hardy parcel]

Which one is 3? Borgy tpring?

[hexed kettle]

Yup

3, 4 and 11 are the most interesting ones, and borg recruit packs give you none of them. Boo Scopely, boo.

[hardy parcel]

Yeah, the only one I want too 🤣

[desert laurel]

we'll see them in the end of arc store for duality

[ember walrus]

11 is so so imo. 3 i want

[long slate]

What’s the next arc?

Duality part 4?

[hallow ember]

Well we've gotten several officers from duality now that have almost no one to synergy with, so I would imaging we will see at least some of that for a duality close out. And the war story is still not wrapped up.

[hardy parcel]

Yep, most likely.

[jaunty copper]

Duality pt 4 - where we just recycle parts 1-3 and say it's new content

[abstract gate]

Wait until DSN part 1 where we recycle all the TOS TNG and Disco stuff

I hear they’ve really outdone themselves for February

[hallow ember]

Ahh, except for the new officer you can have for spending all of your resources on a leaderboard. Of course, I guess that plan is recycled too.

[tawny marsh]

DS9 minus the station

Or the defiant

[jaunty copper]

@hallow ember all the officers with definitely not the exact copies of others right? Haha

[tawny marsh]

Well power creep is definitely coming soon

[hallow ember]

DS9 station skin for 4 $99 unlocks.

[desert laurel]

ds9 with no station or defiant? that's like tng without the D!

[abstract gate]

Prepare for this exact scenario

[tawny marsh]

I never do skin events ever. You never know if or when they will come back

[hallow ember]

Or the defiant comes as another top level ship

[tawny marsh]

@hallow ember nah it will be a miner

[jaunty copper]

A survey that decreases all mining rates by 10%

[tawny marsh]

They have no clue how to add new combat ships into the game

[desert laurel]

yeah, I'm already down on what the defiant will be. If the EntD was a 60 ship, there's little hope the defiant will be more accessible

[jaunty copper]

Or a officer that increases protected cargo and boosts warp speed

[waxen galleon]

People were ecstatic for TNG, and how’d that turn out….? I am sure DS9 will be just as amazing…..🤣

[hallow ember]

LOL. I bet it mines wormhole particles so we can have yet another resource to grind.

[tawny marsh]

Having the enterprise D as a 60 ship was the dumbest business move ive ever seen in gaming history

1 person per 100,000 will get it

[hallow ember]

Or the smartest. How many big spenders reopened their closed wallets? A lot.

[waxen galleon]

But, they gave you the Ent D burned and beat up ship skin….

[tawny marsh]

@hallow ember not really enough, and most don't want the enterprise because it sucks

But if It had been a g3-g4 ship probably would have sold 200k copies

[jaunty copper]

It's not about being good. It's about making money

[tawny marsh]

It was just stupid. Sorry. Whoever decided that should be fired, and if a future employer asks why. Tell them.

[jaunty copper]

The person got promoted

And a 6 figure raise

[tawny marsh]

I doubt it, if you noticed after TNG rewards double and trippled

[jaunty copper]

Itll cost $250k per item to upgrade. Why not get the whales who will pay it to pay that

[tawny marsh]

That means engagement in the game drop way down and they were trying to get players back

Tons of f2p bonus events were added, that points to one thing. They had a garbage Q2

[jaunty copper]

F2p don't matter. It's all about the ones who pay

They continue to prove we don't matter

[tawny marsh]

@jaunty copper thats not how it works. Thats not how investors look at companies

[jaunty copper]

If they did then they would make things easier to achieve

Theyre worth 3.3 billion as of last year. And going up.

[tawny marsh]

I dont have access to Bloomberg, anymore or would check their investor minutes

@jaunty copper thats just smoke and mirrors

Can't tell you how many billion dollar companies were flat broke

[ember walrus]

I am expecting absolute trash for ds9. If it functions at all i will be impressed

[jaunty copper]

[urban oracle]

Shout out to scopely for this borg event I cant even participate in. I dont have the vi'dar and therefore cant take out any probes for the rewards. Whats that you say? Buy the vi'dar... Love to! why dont you offer it in my store? Oh thats right you can buy it with borg war funds, which means i have to participate in event and take out probes.... logical. @desert laurel @abstract gate

[tender plaza]

@urban oracle and even if you drop 20 dollars on the 18k war funds it's only enough to buy 20bps. Can't even get the event max 50. And you need 100 to build it.

[urban oracle]

I have 30 already, i can get 50 from event store with epic pack (120k war funds) still cant get vi'dar till next event/purchase/multiple galaxy events

[tender plaza]

Yep I've got 30 too. I think one person in my alliance has the vidar. so it'll be what, April before I get it? Assuming it's not in and end of arc store before that.

[urban oracle]

yeah, for a company that like to take money for little return, they never offer what you actually need instore

[jaunty copper]

Well if you grind it out for 3-6 months, you'll be able to build one just in time for them to remove the event from rotation

[urban oracle]

true that\

[late mountain]

No starter directives for Borg armada mini-arc. Check. Cap on skin to give quality of life improvement on Borg probe hunting even though they give no PVP advantage. Check. Don’t include the new Borg officers in event store. Check. Wow great event.

[simple spear]

They give you directives on the day there's a solo event for armadas

[ornate geyser]

It makes for fascinating reading....

[earnest hornet]

What ops level are you??

Tomorrow and day 3 you’ll be able to participate in the armadas and get the event loot to get Vidar BPs

[stone trout]

Update the event store Scopely. The names are still listed as 5 of 10 etc. And where are the 3-4 of 11 shards. Cmon pay attention and stop being so lazy!

[abstract gate]

I have a BIG complaint about the latest Borg event. There is no way of gaining points if you don't own a Vi'dar. At least you could off sold me one. 50 blueprints don't help me... Please do something about this issue...

I am crying because the Rules of Acquisition have been broken 😢

[cunning radish]

been like that since its out

not every event is able to be done by everyone sadly

[abstract gate]

it is sad 😔

[abstract gate]

Can someone explain why the bounty Hunter doing 0 damage when the bb sits on the node ?

[nocturne karma]

At least you know now it’s worth aiming towards. Pick up as many bp for it in this event as you can. And then get the bps for it in upcoming “cosmic clean ups”

[neat mirage]

There is research that reduces dmg taken while sitting on a mine. You can find it in the away teams tree (Its called Mining Bunker)
This research paired with pike moreau chen will result in 0 damage taken from attacking hostiles

[abstract gate]

Thanks ! See the damage from the hostile was 0. Is it supposed to happen like this?

[neat mirage]

Yes. both, research and pmc work exactly like they should

[abstract gate]

And I did only one level of mining bunker research.

I see. Thanks very much good sir !!

[amber wave]

Must be max Chen, which I see u must have

Congrats 🎉

[neat owl]

Delete this before someone from scopley sees it

[uneven peak]

Does anyone know how I managed this? It's not possible to win 18 CoW tokens, and there's no combination of packs that will end with 18 tokens. It's been this way for months.

[meager spindle]

Dunno, but I have the same issue somehow 🤷‍♂️

[halcyon sentinel]

i have 2418 as well, maybe everyone has 18 lol

[meager spindle]

And I never paid for a pack, so it was probably some event at some point in time

[hallow ember]

Hmm, it appears I also have a random 18 of them. Some scoring must have been off in the past.

Oh good, there is a leaderboard spending event on day 2 of the borg event that I forgot was part of this. The event really needs a major rework to be on par with Apex at least.

[abstract gate]

ve ry sh it ty event day, with that lousy slb

[plush rivet]

stupid SLB and even crappier ALB

its like they really want you to spend money for this 3 day event

[sudden ledge]

Wow thanks for the big FU Scopely………. SLB for Borg event? Cash grab all day long

[pale steppe]

All dressed up for borgmadas but no event 😭

[sudden ledge]

Hey look at that, spend to win in the store……..

Event should be renamed….. Return of the Mega Rip-off

[vocal trail]

😂

I agree

[abstract gate]

Tomorrow

[quiet harness]

They were a scoring metric ages ago from what I recall.

Not in cow though

[uneven peak]

They are definitely CoW tokens, though. So it must have used the same rewards

[quiet harness]

I don't think we had cow back then.. not sure

It was given out in a sms

Not ams

[uneven peak]

It's 100% CoW tokens. That screenshot was taken while CoW was just running, from the alliance store where it shows how much currency you have, like Dr.Yawn's screenshot.

Here's the full page screenshot from mine

I started playing in October 2020, so it can't be from before that.

[quiet harness]

They are alliance tokens.
I'm 100% sure they were used as a scoring metric at one point.
They just got reused as a currency.

[uneven peak]

It must be something like that. They've been there for ages, and it confuses me every time CoW runs.

[quiet harness]

Even the gold ones were given out in smaller quantities.

I've 48 of them

[balmy grotto]

A solo leaderboard as an event? Wtaf? 😡

[neat mirage]

There is a mission that gives them. Really low level mission.

[uneven peak]

Cheers Tim. I would say it's odd that they've reused the same thing, but it's scopley 😂

[neat mirage]

The mission got me really excited until I saw that you get 18 😅

[uneven peak]

To sit there, forever. Taunting you 🤣

[neat mirage]

https://stfc.space/missions?f=$name=%26res:2288993197%26minw:1%26maxw:500%26mincw:1%26maxcw:500%26faction:-1%26page:1&s=$ascending:true%26sortBy:0

Lol there are more . Really should rework the rewards 😂

[sudden ledge]

Scopely was so generous with those 100 Borg recruit tokens yesterday I don’t know how I’m going to spend them all

[gritty mirage]

Spend Spend$$$ yea scopely let’s create an event that’s all about spend baby spend..

[celest cloud]

I got some from missions during the first CoW so am in a similar position, it was odd.

Gold ones were also used for another event similar to CoW that ran mid-arc sometimes. I forget the name, but the recruit chest did not have Zhou shards (which were rare at the time).

[novel pelican]

So that’s it? We get an officer recruit SLB and continuation of the crappy Mega Cube that no one cares about? It’s like Scopely said how do we take a few days bad events and make them worse.

[sullen barn]

they are still on xmas vacation, they set up a month of events, pulled the trigger and left 2 hamsters to power the servers and 1 person to keep an eye on everything.

[ember walrus]

They could make it borg only

[static wigeon]

I suppose we could be grateful they didn't make a 2 day borgmada SLB

[wind fog]

Shhh, don’t give them any ideas

[fierce cosmos]

Yup... Love giving a leaderboard that involves recruiting borg officers... But no way to get the borg recruit tokens... It's like they forgot a milestone event or something. Pretty disappointing.

And you know as soon as you spend ultra tokens for the recruit event, we'll start off the BP with a spend token event.

[hallow ember]

The Solo milestone yesterday gave enough tokens for 1 pull.

Won't win any leaderboards that way, but they were technically there.

[uneven peak]

And they're in the shop!

Never forget spending money 😅

[hallow ember]

LOL. Of course they are in the pay store. Would not be an event without that tie in.

[bitter snow]

Annoyingly, there's a random number of them splattered around low level missions

[waxen galleon]

So, to participate in today’s events, please stop by here first. Thanks for the great content Scopely.

[elder comet]

All I see here is someone falling for the trap to pick rss chest 😂

[uneven peak]

I need the ore 😂

[elder comet]

Double dirs

The stuff you get from using the dirs to open a single chest is even bigger than this one rss chest with ore lol

But on the other hand so many complain about armadas and being short on dirs because they cannot manage resources 😅😅

[chilly venture]

Who cares about recruiting ? Xp spent count, so recruiting is a drop in the ocean regarding points. What really hurts is the bracket (if there are any) : Mine is at least 41 to 52...

[earnest hornet]

Not true, it’s designed so everyone will get at least the lowest prize, it goes to 500 deep in each bracket,
It’s actually not as bad of series of event as people think, it took a bit of figuring out the way to work it, but it’s excellent for active nano probes and a way you can get a Mega Start for free every time this event runs to get those Mega, for those I. The mid-late 30s it’s not bad for the runs of Borg, and getting the actives.

And they gave you enough for a Borg recruit chest from yesterdays events.

watch this video that describes how these events can set you up for Mega Cube directives every time it runs and maximizing the Active Nanoprobe rewards from them.

https://youtu.be/_sq5kWTir5U

[ember walrus]

Its still bad

If i can get punched in the face for free does not mean i want it

[torn crescent]

Why would anyone waste shards or xp on this event when new arc is starting?

[ember walrus]

Ego

[brave chasm]

I ain’t spending anything until I see the arc events. Even then I’m always holding back because the patch notes descriptions are too vague on the scoring systems

[jaunty copper]

Nothing will be worth spending on in the new arc lol

[torn crescent]

I agree. It’s members of the top alliance who just have to win every single event that are at the top of our leaderboards🤣

[ember walrus]

Top alliance on my server but still nope from me for this event

[torn crescent]

Probably, but any reward for upgrades I am going to do anyway would be worth waiting.

[torn crescent]

They put pressure on their lower members to perform or be booted. Several former team mates spending money they don’t have. I feel bad for them.

[scenic pond]

sounds like those teammates should find a new alliance anyway shrug

[jaunty copper]

True, arcs are the only time they give anything decent. I my server I could save for 5 years but still get beat out by all the wallet warriors

[scenic pond]

if they're feeling pressured like that

[ember walrus]

My alliance asks for participation not breaking the bank

They ask we complete sms. But leaderboards are up to you

[torn crescent]

I don’t try to win. I usually place high enough for decent rewards without opening my wallet.

[torn crescent]

Top alliance on my server has spread its biggest players across 4 alliances (which are just really 1 big alliance) so they can claim all the top prizes to satisfy their egos.

[jaunty copper]

I never place anymore, no matter how hard I try always get bumped out. I've only bought a couple premium tracks to the arcs thats it

[torn crescent]

I’m sure that will change for me soon enough. Ops 40 has 80 days to go. I do well sitting at the top of my bracket right now.

[hexed lark]

What part of being told for years to take this stuff and shove it where sun don't shine doesn't Scopely understand. NOBODY WANTS THIS CRAP!!

[torn crescent]

As someone else already mentioned Scopely just set it and forget it for the holidays.

[hexed lark]

Either way they are getting to that point again where a bunch are gonna say screw them and leave again.

I frankly have been disgusted with this bs since the first TNG arc. Money money money and no value for it!

[torn crescent]

I’m only still going because it’s an easy distraction to get through work.

$20 for battle pass is all I spend.

[hexed lark]

Yeah it's only the friends we've made keeping most of us here now lmao. Sure ain't the content.

[torn crescent]

At this point I’ve almost been chased off by the whales who think they actually own our server. The concept of money blown in pixels is one they cannot accept.

[hexed lark]

Yup

Mind you I have enough rss that I really don't care how many ships it takes I'll go them anyway and eventually give them a bigger repair bill than mine.

[torn crescent]

I definitely don’t stress over it. Enjoy blowing up those G4 miners🤣.

[willow glade]

Suggested new graphic design for Scopely

[drifting bridge]

Ha! I hadn’t even noticed that

[hexed lark]

Nice phishing site that so called game survey is on lmao!

That is not the address where game surveys are on normally!!!

[rustic siren]

yeah im starting to wonder if you know what phishing is

[hexed lark]

Umm yeah. Considering when I put address in myself it took me to a dead domain!

[calm belfry]

Is there going to be an Outlaw event as well? or Borg replaced the Apex before the new battlepass starts

[lilac musk]

No. Maintenance is in a few days which means new arc starts and the outlaw event is usually between arcs

[calm belfry]

So it's 3 of 4: There's usually CoW, Faction Hunt, Borg, Outlaw

[ember walrus]

Borg is not the normal one

[calm belfry]

It seems like it's been happening a lot between arcs lately

[ember walrus]

Yeah unfortunately i need more apex medals

[tranquil swan]

Someone told me that to get the next level of battle pass, I need to upgrade my ops 5 days in advance of next arc. Is this true?

I'm currently 39

[scenic pond]

tagging as Im interested in the answer (though I'd be surprised if thats the case)

[ember walrus]

I think it just has to be prior to the reset on arc release day

[bitter snow]

This was my assumption too, but DJ mentioned something in his podcast to the contrary a month or two ago... Now I don't know what is accurate 😂

[desert laurel]

easy to test now for those on the cusp since there's only a couple days to the maintenance

[tranquil swan]

Well I just rushed 40

Will let everyone know if it worked

[bitter snow]

Please report back if you get 4* or not in the bp itself 😁

[elder comet]

If you are ops 40 before deadline you gonna get the 40-49 bp which includes g4

[hardy parcel]

well that's the question, when is this "deadline"? several people have reported that you need to level up days before the pass starts. I've heard everything between 2 and 5 days

[oblique dock]

Deadline from the devs was between 24 and 48 hours when @nova valley last mentioned it

[bitter snow]

I still find it weird that they have to do something to allocate the right BP to players ahead of time, when every single one of their other events manages to work it out on the fly 😂

[modern ocean]

What are the level brackets for the battle pass? Don’t know if I should rush my OPS or not.

[hardy parcel]

same as all the other events, usually changes every even level. but there is a big jump at 39 and 40.

[coarse bison]

So the only way to get borg event currency to buy vidar bps is to have a vidar with which to shoot borg probes (or be in an alliance with players who have one)?

[humble thorn]

Yeah there is. G3 flips to g4

[coarse bison]

Are there future events to get vidar blueprints?

[humble thorn]

If you're not ready for the flip don't push the button

[humble thorn]

It's come up pretty regularly

[bitter snow]

Cormic cleanup gives currency and access to vidar BPs, too

but yeah, slowly 🙂

[hardy parcel]

nah it doesn't "flip" you get both

only some of the older events flip

[humble thorn]

Daily events flip

[hardy parcel]

yes, but that's not the battle pass is it?

[bitter snow]

Apex, CoW, Lat Rush, Swarms and the 'daily' officer recruit events flip entirely

[coarse bison]

Thanks!

[bitter snow]

But you get more than enough in the arc events now that it's of no nevermind

[humble thorn]

And many of the events in arc are g4 heavy(ish) vs what you were getting in g3.

[bitter snow]

nah, the arc events pay out a lot more now, especially over the last two runs

[hardy parcel]

only because the g4 costs are higher, you aren't getting any less g3
