[molten cloak]

I can’t be arsed to make screenshots but I did. Parsteel for a building is 200m or so at 37-38. No point keeping a bunch of rss I won’t spend till summer when I can turn them into uncommon that I need now.

[olive birch]

at ops 42 my bottleneck is g4 common, uncommon and rares

[chrome rune]

I have donated 15 today 🤷‍♂️

[flint temple]

so this bundle we're apparently getting

[sacred harness]

So you’re saying it’s not a dumb move to donate 11b steel at level 37 when you have 18B steel?

[flint temple]

better be good

[chrome rune]

10 lat 😉

[fading tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/joker-good-for-you-bro-heath-ledger-clapping-applause-gif-9702899

[ember walrus]

1 para, 1 trit, 1 dili, 1 uncommon 2* ore, and 1 1* interceptor part

[shell glen]

Im level 37 and donated 11B or so, i want unc more than steel, scoplys "economy" is worse than Russias with the sanctions.

[flint temple]

naw, let's not go beyond the bounds of reason, but at least 1 domitia shard

[sacred harness]

Lord this is worse than GC in the game.

Later.

[olive birch]

depends , on how much g3 you have, if you are g3 poor, then you can restock the parsteel, you can also raid it.

my objection wouldnt be spending it, as much as that the rewards are so poor.

[flint temple]

clearly your server doesn't have russians

[shell glen]

A few, the joke is heres 23 unc!! Thanks scoply, i need 9000

[pine raft]

That'll last you nothing when you try to go to 39... 38-39 upgrade is around 14bn, after research...

[stuck cargo]

just throw X billions into the sorry chest so people that spent get it "back" and those that haven't yet get a boost to complete the event reasonably

[sweet flame]

I'm sure scopely will realize their mistake. It's supposed to be 70 million...... latinum

[sacred harness]

You made a bad trade then lol

[molten cloak]

For someone who doesn’t know me or play on the same server as me, you are rather emotionally invested in my choices.

[ember walrus]

If you have it to spare what ever go ahead but the scaling is nuts

[shell glen]

Lol right hahaha

[sacred harness]

I know a bad deal when I see it. Trying to educate you on your terrible game choices

[ember walrus]

Mind you this game is a terrible choice we all keep making

[tender pumice]

i'm level 36 and refusing to spend a single parsteel until the scoring or rewards are improved. 7.2B is almost everything i have, tokens and all 🙈

[olive birch]

does depend though, maybe yukipuki wanted to lvl up his alliance anyway ?

[molten cloak]

Working on the basis scopely will screw up again before I hit upgrade 🤣

[ember walrus]

Come on thats like planning it will rain in Florida in the summer. 100%

[rough frost]

Next event will be upgrade your ship, spend 40 billion trit, get 200 million steel in rewards and 8 shards 🤗

[ember walrus]

No i bet it will be use 9m 2* ship parts

[lime kite]

They can stick the whole thing where the sun don’t shine. Stopped spending a few months ago and edging towards quitting completely.
No fun in the game any more

[chrome rune]

Bad deal for YOU, maybe not so much for others.
Right now, I don't care about steel. Don't have enough mats to spend it, and once I can I will be in a position where the amounts I have right now are irrelevant because I get more per month in events etc. than what I have total right now.

[abstract gate]

I donated 132m steel at ops 24. Suffice to say it was worth it

Just kidding

[ember walrus]

God low lvls have it nice for getting new officers it seems

[abstract gate]

Sorta do. Double edged sword though because I missed all of the ferengi officers

Most people one or two ops above me have at least the rare ferengi. They would be really nice to have. Especially rom

Most people ops 24 don't have 132m steel or jt is nearly all their steel. Not to mention youmcant spend 132m steel at ops 24 in 3 days

Scopely really dropped the ball on this one and someone should probably be demoted or moved departments

[molten cloak]

2 very happy people in my alliance that both unlocked Harrison tonight for 50b par a piece.

[sweet remnant]

Then you are in a unique situation.

[chrome rune]

Ops 49 trying to get to 50 lol

Mats, mats, mats

Don't have enough mats, mats, mats

[woeful scaffold]

lol it was a 88b steel spend ask for me the day after a material spend event for mariner shards. I couldn't get to the top tier if I tried.

[tardy shore]

824m steel.. You have to be kidding... Even for 2 days... Just turned game off.. Will not even try... Might finish other events.. But not even go to try for anything but basic.. ..

[sweet remnant]

My sever just unlocked 40+. Everyone who could already shot past 39.

[sweet remnant]

Singing the song of my people 😂😭😭

[terse iron]

Will be giving station upgrade event a miss. 14.2B steel for a bit of gas and dil.. What a joke

[rough dust]

Don't worry everyone, Scopely fixed the event. It's Heroic now!

https://tenor.com/view/aquaman-jason-momoa-heroic-water-super-hero-gif-12724699

[olive birch]

would you like a photo of me to use instead .. now that would be truly heroic 😁

[thick robin]

Worst (period) event (period) ever (period)

[tender pumice]

https://tenor.com/view/itools-worst-event-worst-event-ever-gif-19294852

[wind fog]

Not going to spend 4 billion par at ops 33. Even the tier 1 rewards isn’t worth it for 434 million par

[dreamy pebble]

The rewards are nice if there was a away too do the event 😡 worst event ever

[pearl tinsel]

Just buy 4 station packs it's a deal!

[wind fog]

And saying they made a mistake by not labeling the event “heroic” is ridiculously insulting

[dreamy pebble]

🤣🤣

[green trail]

I'm not lying when I say the goal for that event might be more parsteel than I've spent cumulatively since I started playing

it's about 4x more than the most parsteel I've ever had at once

[ripe jungle]

Saying do it for the uc rewards makes no sense.. even if I completed the sms and placed first in the slb I’d get about as much uc gas as I refine in a couple weeks or so. The sms itself maybe 4 days of refining. In return for more steel than I have just to finish the sms.

[warm jay]

@pseudo rune we must not have the same notion of the term heroic
I think scopely confuses heroic with draining of resources
Don't wonder WHY players are deserting the servers.
The game is unnecessarily long.
buildings that take 250 days to build.
Research is the same.
mines that have NO interest because they are in overproduction after a few hours and do not produce anything compared to what is needed, if only we could accumulate them without having a limit, just remember to empty them every 8 hours.
The refineries that have just ridiculous productions that unnecessarily slow down the game.
the events are the same, there is no interesting challenge, the only interest is to make us take packs, some of which are pure rip-offs... who said the 99€ latinium pack is less profitable than a 19€ pack
and the packs would sell better cheaper because more accessible via the payment phone and third.
not to mention the shields a player can spend his life under shields just by farming

In short, there is work to do to keep this game attractive, the only interest for the community is to play star trek, there would not be the license for a while that there would be no one

[haughty tapir]

The Lower Decks chest in the officer store would be a lot more worthwhile if there were less other officers. Every one you add nerfs your shot at getting the shards you're targeting. I'd leave jaylah, just because she's so hard to source, but the rest I'd replace with various amounts of cerritos bps and maybe amalgam bps.
As for the event, the rewards are worth maybe a quarter of what you're asking players to burn.
Scopley has always maintained that they want us to rely on events for materials, but the materials never seem to materialize.

[warm jay]

share the message if you agree and add sign

#🏆-event-chat message

[gray ravine]

Thank God they clarified and labeled the event as heroic. Everything is all good now. Thanks scopely! Completely fixed the core issue. Great work team!

[drowsy garden]

Heroic Farce more like, they want 57B off me at lvl 41 🙈 event if I started now and didn’t sleep for the next 3 days I couldn’t complete it. Total Joke, I’m another that won’t be hanging around for much more of this.

[storm grail]

If they want to have a " Heroic" event, fine. Just make the rewards Heroic. The rewards from this one certainly are not.

[north vessel]

They want you to dump all your parasteel into alliance contributions so you are forced to spend later.

[rough frost]

1 pack of chocolate for 1 € or use your scopely voucher and get 1 chocolate for 100 € 🎉

[tawdry seal]

The day this game becomes a bigger joke than what scopley is trying to make I’ll drop tags and see who can make more players quit the game faster on my server , Scopley or myself. 😂 I mean that has to be scopley’s end game. Why else would they keep upsetting the player base as it is? One part provides the log in numbers, the other provides the cash flow and they seem to like upsetting both ends. 🤔 even forest gump was smarter than that. 😂 I mean they got a great franchise and great idea, do they not want to keep making great money? From their actions it seems like a grab and run and they at tired of trying…….🤔

[north vessel]

And making the sms give 1 recruit makes the $100 pack look much better than it actually is. The recruit odds suck... Badly.

Each recruit yields an average of:
0.45 Mariner shards
0.75 bolmer shards
1.8 badgey shards
3.75 rare shards
1.25 epic shards.

Meaning at ops 41, I'm burning my entire parasteel reserve (58b) for likely...

1 Mariner shard
2-3 bolmer shards
5-6 badgey shards
11 rare shards
4 epic shards
And a moderate amount of dilithium, g3/g4 gas

That assumes I win 1st on the slb.

Stupid

At least make it an epic officer full unlock auction for the slb or something

[half portal]

Scopeley expects me to spend like 180 billion steel just to do the event today. Someone's smoking crack at headquarters

[solar veldt]

Probably going to be 10+ people who spend 58B in lots of 40-42 brackets

[earnest hornet]

It’s basically a convert steel to dilithium and materials.

That’s the way I see it, it won’t take me long to get that steel back, but those mats and dilithium is valuable.

Plus a handful of officers

[waxen spoke]

@eco I still haven't seen my im sorry chest 🤨🤨🤨🤨

[halcyon sentinel]

'and also providing a bundle to everyone this week as an apology for the confusion'

'this week'

[ornate geyser]

I'm at 2 on my SLB, so far, for that bracket.

[weak walrus]

First time here?

[hazy shuttle]

For a so called heroic event, doesn’t come close to having heroic rewards

[neon field]

I concur -- this is garbage. 14.42B Parsteel for a relatively small amount of dilithium a day or two worth of uncommon Gas? Someone needs to do a better job lol...

[topaz galleon]

that is 14.42 bil not 28 bil, still alot but not that much

[weak walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/mind-blown-amazed-explosion-space-omg-gif-10279314

[sweet remnant]

I can raid that dil much more effectively than I can complete this event. At lvl 28, I’m getting about 1M dil. I’m already sitting on 160M dil from raiding

[rough crypt]

I wish it was just 14B or even 28B 🤣

[ripe grail]

This is what you get when you have a fair percentage of players that will just throw money at any event they can. It ruins the game for everyone else and makes the people who run the game lazy, greedy, and unconcerned with improvement.

[swift lotus]

Quick question for those level 40+. I am trying to get the medals to continue my away team research and there is one away team mission that rewards it. I have a 46% critical success rate and I have sent the mission over 10 times with no success. Anyone actually completed the mission with critical success ?

[gleaming pasture]

This event, even when you stick “Heroic” in the title, is proof the Devs think the player base is compromised of a bunch of idiots.

[simple seal]

Ops 42 costs 5 billion para, spend over ten times that for event.

[desert laurel]

Crit medals pretty often, work on Kras and supporting members for it

[chrome rune]

Yes, multiple times

[warped solar]

Worst event ever? I just hit 35... to finish this event I would either have to rapid upgrade all my buildings for this level and most of 36 (but I don't have all the other materials) or I'll have to donate almost 8 billion steel... roughly half of all that I have

[earnest hornet]

Researches?

[mighty shadow]

I pretty much have been using this setup, been doing pretty good without even using trait xp for it….so far I’ve never been blocked waiting on enough medals

[waxen galleon]

Whew, glad they fixed it. Makes it all better and suck way less.

If you are going to relabel it Heroic, make the rewards for completion not suck.

[ember walrus]

As much as we are griping look at 54+

[austere cape]

This SMS Upgrade the Station is complete BS. this pisses me off.

[tawdry kindle]

A bit silly to go blame the players whom are willing to shed out some money imo, as it’s those exact same players whom keep the game running for everyone else by keeping it ad-free for example…😏

If you wanna blame someone, then go blame Scopely and their overly known incompetences, rather then your fellow players whom just wanna play a game equally like yourself…

[ripe grail]

This game is profitable enough to be ad free without everyone dropping the same amount that a lot of whales do. And those said whales would be less interested in the game if it had a smaller player base. True money is needed to keep the game going but just as important is player interest and participation. Scopely is catering to what gets them money.... period. At the cost of killing player interest. Fix the bugs. Give more in the battlepass. And stop be greedy.

[tawdry kindle]

It’s still not the fault of players willing to spend though then… What someone wants, or not wants, to spend is everyone to their own; whichever player, is equally a ‘victim’ just the same…😏

[meager breach]

Compo chest should contain a minimum of 80% of the Parsteel required to complete the SMS event at each players level.
And for the love of God, don't give us this nonsense ever again

[gleaming pasture]

“Fix the bugs. Give more in the Battlepass.” This would be an excellent path to increased sales of the Elite BP to a larger portion of players yet somehow Scopely ignores it and solely focuses on events/packs for whales.

[ripe grail]

Those Willing to spend to a excessive degree..yes it is. But it also doesn't take a psychologist to see how this games pay scheme is set up to take advantage of people with addictive tendencies.😘

[keen mist]

Yes, many times.

[tawdry kindle]

I don’t agree. As any player, f2p or p2p, to whatever degree, wants to play the game. One can’t blame Scopely for trying to make some money, as they are a company after all lol…

The fact that this game is a crappy non-stop beta product full of (repeating) bugs month after month year after year, is Scopely’s responsibility, and solely Scopely only…😉

[spice nimbus]

People willing to do events like this will keep scoplay putting out bs events like this

[ripe grail]

You CAN blame Scopely for putting out a sub standard product. And the more that it happens, people will leave. This game will die on the vine.

[latent ridge]

So are we ever going to get a spend trait xp event again?

[pale kestrel]

Missing grade 4 crystal in armada g3 chest pulls or have i just never noticed g4 being in it before?

[rocky hill]

Mines still all g3. What ops level is this?

[raw owl]

it's never been there. the chest potentially yields the g4 needed to upgrade the Jelly.

[pale kestrel]

46

[abstract gate]

This event sucks

[tardy stag]

I would need more than parsteel to be able to spend that parsteel. Like unc or common mats

[abstract gate]

Stupidest Spending Event ever

[ember walrus]

You can donate but why bother. If all you care about is the pulls. Its cheaper at almost every lvl

[north vessel]

G4 mats and ships have seperate armada chests

[north vessel]

When you see these

Think it's ops 40?

[ember walrus]

The cost jump is just stupid though

[earnest hornet]

Not really when considering that when you should be opening these with doing DS armadas,

It is high if all you’re doing is normal armadas

That will take forever to accumulate that way

[celest rover]

This event would have been fine if it followed Red Alert…….U remember the one they took away for a chance for a skin……

[scenic kernel]

Actually it follows the first run of red alert since it gave too much rss, they want you to spend it now.

[glacial mauve]

except red alert only gave us 10% of the resources we are asked to spend now

[plucky ermine]

This certainly helps with the heroic parsteel event 🤣

[strange ice]

The parsteel event is the first I have found completely unplayable. My alliance mate would have to purchase 14 packs to finish the sms. He could get all the rewards in one pack. What kind of ridiculousness is this? Calling it heroic misses the point entirely. For that much spending, the rewards should be 10 times what is offered. I try not to get offended by behavior of a company, because it is what it is. But it’s hard not to find this offensive. It feels like Scopely goes out of it’s way to insult its customers.

[glacial mauve]

Scopely doesnt see customers, only cash cows

[rigid coral]

Yeah, this Event and the rewards are rediculous. As OPs 45 I would have to spend 122,4 B Para. I have 143B Para but need for all 60 Buildings until OPS 56 almost 300B Para (and a lot of grey, green and blue 4* Ore). If I would spent all Para for this Event for the ally, It would throw me back on progressing for several month. Scopely needs to improve this event, not only rename it to heroic. It's not heroic, it's idiot catch.

[strange ice]

I understand that they only need to keep one or two whales per server happy to make money so they don’t care about the rest. I’m not even bothered by that. But number of players, playing time, etc helps them with their valuation for investors so they can’t lose all of us. Strictly on a business sense, they need the regular players to a certain extent so they have to have some consideration for their customers.

[paper venture]

So how does calling an event heroic make it not suck?

[swift abyss]

Because it's HEROIC! 🤣

[bitter snow]

Heroes don't do it for the reward, right? 😉

[gentle cobalt]

you mean Heroic suck 😂

[keen owl]

Maybe this Heroic Station Event is just a really late April Fools joke.

[scenic cloud]

For whales. Many on our server just built a building or 2. A trillion par in 2 buildings

[heavy kernel]

A heroic waste of time maybe.

[fair sky]

Designing an event in such a poor and pointless way is actually an oath of revelation in terms of customer proximity and understanding. To rename it heroic after receiving feedback is a mockery of the customers. That is what Scopely is. Everyone should stop buying packages for two months.

[rough dust]

@pseudo rune .. this is a Heroic event..

Not this...

[shut delta]

Shhhh next week it’ll be 55,000 points for the officer heroics 🤣

[rough dust]

Uhh uhh...

https://tenor.com/view/nothingtosee-disperse-casual-explosion-gif-4545906

[olive birch]

I think they should have named this an EPIC event..

[abstract gate]

Pffft

You need better rewards 😆

I miss the crystal though

[rough dust]

I'll take what I can get. 😁

[dapper drum]

sideways up the rear with a chainsaw?

[mossy nebula]

I'm feeling frustrated with the lat event, it might just be me but it really isn't worth all the effort if you don't place top three, and very few people at each level actually seem to have the means to make top three, leaving everyone in the dust with just a few rss they could've gotten just raiding instead

[bitter snow]

Pretty much...

Pick and choose the SLBs you take part in, they're not all for everyone 🤷‍♂️

[cunning radish]

So don’t do it if you can’t compete and save yourself some headache.

Unfortunately SLBs are seldom fair

[mossy nebula]

I mean fair point, I don't plan on participating intentionally in the future unless something changes, it just seems unfair not just to me but to the large number of folks who put so much time in

[tardy stag]

I will only do this event when Scopely includes 4000 broken desealing rods

[bitter snow]

I go as far as the SMS and/or as much raw lat as I need for a week of double refines... then stop

If I don't need to stock up on raw lat, at the moment at least, I just splat some OPC CLat 😂

But I'm very much a 'path of least resistance' kinda guy when it comes to event completions...

[pale kestrel]

the amount required doesn't even come close to what that red alert sms gave let alone the amounts of the rewards in this were not even worthy of 1 billion spent regardless of label.

[merry quiver]

The label on that Parsteel SMS should be „Mistake“, or „Oopsie“ - not „Heroic“ 😏

[versed osprey]

so when are we getting that oopsie chest?

[pale kestrel]

sometime this week and probably 2* mats for 30s/40s/50s and 1 shard of some useless officers and if we're lucky 100 units of parsteel.

[versed osprey]

probably🤣

[naive meteor]

A Free D'vor or North star would be great 🖖🏼

[versed osprey]

not for me

[pale kestrel]

bah, you get free d'vors from your 30 day chest and north star, pshaw.

[versed osprey]

and you have a monday event for dvor to unlock it

[naive meteor]

They don't unlock the D'vor bps till you reach L23! But it would be better if they allowed player's to obtain Them say around L20 !!

[versed osprey]

what lvl can you build dvor?

[naive meteor]

L23 🙄
It's simply to long..

[versed osprey]

so its no use to get the event before, its same with every ship

[naive meteor]

I don't have the BB or Franklin and I'm currently L20 !
But I do on my L27 station!!

[versed osprey]

bb is pretty ez to get once you onluck augment space

[naive meteor]

I'm jumping Upto L24 again for the Kumari! I'll hopefully build the BB then !

[versed osprey]

its only warp 20

[versed osprey]

dont waste too much resources on kumari

[naive meteor]

I'll put most resources into the Vi'dar and Saladin to carry me through to L28+

[versed osprey]

saladin is the best ship for lvl 28

there are some arguments to skip the lvl 26 ships

and go straight for sally

[naive meteor]

I'll build 2 horizons and 🤞🏻 2 D'vors!!

[versed osprey]

faction miners are better

1 horizon is enough

[bitter snow]

faction miners eat credits, which you need for combat ships and officers with the pace of the low level game now 😐

What's funny, @wanton holly ?

Consider, I'm at ops 33, I had 2-3 weeks off during ferengi arc, and I started the account between Xmas and new years. I've skipped the 28s and 32s so far, and still saving for the Enterprise (about 1/3 there so far, closer with ATA credits stocked up)

[jolly tulip]

What did you use?

[bitter snow]

Vidar

[jolly tulip]

hmm

ok

[bitter snow]

Events are just getting a little close to my tolerance level for 'how long to complete'

But they're still doable

[jolly tulip]

I'm planning on using my North Star until around 28 or so

[bitter snow]

Totally doable

Wouldn't stretch the N* past 28, but it can 100% do it

[jolly tulip]

I feel like skipping the Saladin is a big ask, will look at it but might a stretch too far for me

[bitter snow]

And Centurion or Bortas + Cloaking credits are easy to save in that time frame

[jolly tulip]

Maybe that is the way to go, something to think about definitely

[bitter snow]

I did have a lucky start with the picard auction + event store at the start of the year*

[brazen ivy]

That would stop the lvl 22 on my server who blocks lat nodes all day every day using envoys.

[tiny girder]

IMO, whales win most events, if you are a grinder, just complete the solo events....during mining events I prefer to to complete the solo, then do something else while everyone else is busy...I.E....lat mining event, I will go stock up on decoded data

[versed osprey]

dont, it helps so much

[bitter snow]

You'll at minimum want a Legio or D3 for the cloaking daily - those hull researches make a huge difference on grinding

[jolly tulip]

Yeah ok, that makes sense hence why the NS is so good for grinding right now

I'm Fed/Rom so legionaire perhaps

[bitter snow]

That's what I've got

I could use the Legio for grinding, but thing is... you want a high up vidar for the credit refinery anyway, whereas the legio onl needs to be 'big' for scrapping at 34+ 🙂

So the Legio is t5 (~600k) from spend events, and the vidar is t8 (~860k) currently, T4 chen at 51/150 to T5 helps...

[delicate crescent]

And pirate opc miners 😉😈

[bitter snow]

But the first researches I do each level so far are (territory) construction efficiency, and the cloaking/hull ranks (followed by Franklin + other efficiencies)

I have done this before - I was ops 43 previously

[jolly tulip]

Same here, I focus on efficiency always

Saving my Cosmic Clean Up credits for a vidar already

[bitter snow]

I'll get Faction miners once I've managed the Enty, but until that point, Horizon can get anywhere it needs to and has ample protected cargo for my needs

[bitter snow]

What with, pray tell? 🙂

[versed osprey]

sally is way better then vidar

with everything

[bitter snow]

If it's PVP, then yeah - the skipping route is not going to fly, I have to be veeerry careful which miners I hit with my ships to clear space for my baby horizons (some targets are bigger than my vidar 😂 ).
And some missions? But those don't go anywhere...

Grinding, yes, Sally would last longer

But dailies and events? I'm doing most in 1-2 runs still

which is adequate

It's "better", but the vidar is actually "good enough" in most parts of the game so far

[desert laurel]

Better...because it's more expensive. And you may not need it if you don't require a stronger ship.

[versed osprey]

what lvl you now?

[bitter snow]

33 right now

I did the Sally -> Epic route last run through to ops 43, so I'm not talking entirely out my backside 🙂

I can do my dailies on half a hull fast in Jiw'puh (spelling?), or 2 runs slow for more faction in Gorath

And I'll be able to do that until at least 10m faction/ops37, but I'll have the Ent by then

And I'm 20k fed credits up on where I would be otherwise for the Ent

(I really should have stopped buying recruits sooner)

[gentle pasture]

legionary is the best route i think, vidar takes too long for tiering up, and the best thing - you can scrap legionary later and get useful stuff for it

[bitter snow]

161?

Or a different ptaha? 👀

[gentle pasture]

184 now

[bitter snow]

😄

That's definitely not your Centurion 😄

[gentle pasture]

the same Ptaha, but playing on 184 after server merge

[bitter snow]

yeah, it's crowded

[gentle pasture]

Cent was wrong decision for sure )

Without making big mistakes i m on 34. place in power ranking after merge as f2p player

[bitter snow]

I've gone Vidar, because the credit refinery helps with everything else, so it made sense to push it as soon as I was able (including blowing most of my event store credit on it at the time), but the Legio is a darn fine ship for second mission runner/cloak daily/etc

And as you say, it'll be scrapped at 34, soon as it's maxed

[gentle pasture]

Vidar is a good route, but Legionary will give you some nice prime research earlier

[bitter snow]

not free to play, but much closer to it than I was on my last account, stuck primarily to "things that help forever" like the researchers and builders

[bitter snow]

Luckily, they don't really conflict on materials 🙂

Small amount of crystal on the Legio, but nowt else

[gentle pasture]

Legionary is the best one from all 26 ships

[bitter snow]

Was the main reason I went Rom as the second faction - I knew I wanted the ent as it's so much better for mission running early on

And the vidar to get there

So the thing for cloak that didn't conflict = Legio 🙂

[gentle pasture]

Enterprise is more pvp, for pure pve, Augur is the better choice ,giving you the possibility to kill 49 way sooner as Enterprise can

[bitter snow]

Ent will likely only go to t4/5 again, then onward and upward 🤷‍♂️

For grinding, yeah, missions though...

Ent is terrible at doing 49s 😂

Everything else tho

Armada, Mission, PVP (not that I care), etc... sucks at 49 traders, and I can live with that 😄

[gentle pasture]

Regarding Armadas Ent/ Aug are on same spot

[bitter snow]

Ent is easier to crew effectively

And speed-run wise, my officers are lacking

simply because there's not the time to get tokens

[gentle pasture]

49 traders giving you the option to close many events in a couple of minutes and Augur can kill heavies too

[bitter snow]

It's a good point

[gentle pasture]

but you need Madd for that

[bitter snow]

yeah, recruits 😂

[gentle pasture]

but he is way easier to obtain nowdays

[bitter snow]

Pike is still 80/100 😂

[versed osprey]

at lvl 33? Lol

[bitter snow]

Picard auction was amaaaazing luck 😂

[bitter snow]

No, at 4 months 😄

[versed osprey]

i full pulled, pike and kirk at like lvl 28

[bitter snow]

RNG must have liked you...

[gentle pasture]

why not ? i often give ppl in my alliance the possibility to kill 49 so they can score points in some rankings

[versed osprey]

only 6 of 11, havent got a full pull in the last 20-30 chests

[naive meteor]

I've won lat rush with Envoys!!

[bitter snow]

I had Picard/Bev from ~ops20, I think in the first week of Jan?

[gentle pasture]

not a big problem to kill such a leftover

[bitter snow]

But as I say, that was pure fluke on the event timing 😄

[bitter snow]

I've won it with a vidar 😂 but I think we mean in two different ways!

So much lat sunk into standard chests to force out Chen shards 😐

I think the record was 10k between shards 😦

[trail birch]

That station upgrade event is ridiculous. I need to spend 57 billion par to finish

[versed osprey]

its not worth it

[bitter snow]

Which is why a lot of people aren't doing it

[versed osprey]

for only 8 shards

[bitter snow]

Maybe if you happened to be flush with steel and desperate for dil and a pittance of gas...

[versed osprey]

they giving an oopsie chest away🤣 but not chancing the event

[bitter snow]

yeah, I'll take the freebie gladly 😄

[trail birch]

Upgrading the event title doesn't solve the issue

[desert laurel]

It should have. Heroic events are harder or even impossible for f2p to complete. If you see that tag, take the time to evaluate the costs and rewards to see if it makes sense for you play in.

[proven bluff]

You mean like the Heroic recruit events?

[desert laurel]

Which are harder to complete than non-heroic ones, yes

[proven bluff]

Or the heroic ship XP events?

[serene ridge]

Give us ur soul we will reward u with nothing it's the scopley way

[proven bluff]

Harder isn’t the same as impossible

[desert laurel]

I never said it was, I clearly stated what it meant.

[bitter snow]

But nowhere near as hard as you are saying it should be?

What other events have we had billed as 'heroic'?

[desert laurel]

Heroic ATA (first SMS I've ever failed to finish), Treasury build (last month)

[proven bluff]

Oops. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone there. Blame me when the next heroic officer recruit event is impossible to complete without buying a pack

[serene ridge]

Herotic is like putin saying mi.itary conflict not war

[sweet remnant]

Today turf war is there again. Worst event ever.

[bitter snow]

This event is "technically possible", but to spend 4bn at ops 33 you have to be lucky enough to be in a large alliance, and lucky enough for it to be on a Parsteel donation bracket

(over and above having the RSS - that's arguably the easy part)

[wintry cypress]

You dont need a large alliance 😉

[bitter snow]

Literally nothing else that you can spend it on at this level 😄

[bitter snow]

Well, unless you want to jump 4 ops levels, or spend the trit/lat to get through every other 5 level bracket when the little one doesn't have steel donations

[wintry cypress]

Alliance level 23

And dont tell me thats a large alliance

[bitter snow]

... how are you doing 59k donations at once? Mine caps out at 50 😂

hax!

😂

[chrome rune]

[wintry cypress]

||Just imagine having to press this donate button 59k times||

[bitter snow]

only ~10k times...

[wintry cypress]

Ain't even allowed to just say Rippers name anymore

[bitter snow]

50 per pop 🤣

[chrome rune]

[wintry cypress]

Everything gets pwned

[chrome rune]

Maybe the mods just don't like you

[wintry cypress]

I think so too 😂

I don't want to see my infraction log because of that modding rule

[desert laurel]

It's longer than anyone else's, by far

[bitter snow]

And yeah, from my perpective, lv23 alliance is 'big', because I've been running solo for a little while now 😂

[chrome rune]

🤣

[bitter snow]

and I'm still at 11

[wintry cypress]

You know, I'd believe that at an instant 😂

[chrome rune]

I also have infractions on my list 😬

Not because of my name though

[wintry cypress]

What happens if I rename myself into something like "Shenanigans"? Do I get permabanned instantly? 🤣

[chrome rune]

SHENANIGANS!

Get them while they are hot!

[wintry cypress]

[bitter snow]

But the thing is... tiny chance at a harrison shard aside... the event just isn't worth doing?

There's nothing remotely interesting about it

[wintry cypress]

Nah

[chrome rune]

Just skip it

[bitter snow]

ATA was fine for me (dabo paid out a lot of speedups along with trait xp), Treasury I skipped

[desert laurel]

Dil income is lower than pars, so I'm still waiting to see what the next couple days brings. It might make sense even without a change, but I'll have to think about it

[bitter snow]

Am. But the defence of it is... dubious 😂

[desert laurel]

That's the recent ATA, the one I mean was the very first one released back in TNG

[bitter snow]

Oh, you mean the one they never ever ran again because they realised it was a silly idea? 😄

[desert laurel]

It was not possible, even with my pre-planning because my level was too low

[chrome rune]

It's not so much of a defense but more of a, hey this is what happened, we appreciate the feedback and will take it into account for the future.

At least that's how I read it.

[bitter snow]

Candle, much as I like the guy, does seem to be attempting to defend it 🙂

Eco's comment... meh, that's just a standard "It's a feature, not a bug"

[desert laurel]

Because I like the idea of marking events Herioc when they mean it, that first ATA event scarred me and if players know ahead of time that they might not be able to complete it then it's easier to accept

[chrome rune]

I just can't spend enough for the milestones without doing something unreasonable.
If the milestones were lower or we hadn't had a mat spend event this month I think this event would have been fine, honestly

[bitter snow]

Dil is not my problem (yet)

[chrome rune]

None of the resources are my problem. I'm purely limited on mats

[bitter snow]

And on the old acct, I was struggling as much for steel for building as I was dil for research... so it wouldn't have worked there either 😂

[chrome rune]

Because I spent all of them during the month, for events

[desert laurel]

If rss don't matter, then it's free mats for doing the event. Very easy to push the go button there

[bitter snow]

We know their maths can be wonky... but they either needed to half the milestones or 2-3x the payouts

[desert laurel]

That's fine, still heroic, but more achievable.

[chrome rune]

How?

[bitter snow]

125 UC gas or so from the 33 Milestones, which yes I need, but comes easily enough during a BP regardless

[bitter snow]

Alliance contributions

if your alliance is accepting steel currently

if not, ohwell

[chrome rune]

And what if it doesn't?

[bitter snow]

Seems to be the consensus 😄

given it switches every what? 5 alliance levels?

[chrome rune]

I'm not going to buy 2 packs to get enough mats to do one building to get 15% of the event done. That's unreasonable

[desert laurel]

There is, however, a sense of entitlement toward SMS. Some believe they should all be completable, and easy. But that seems like a boring game to me if we're just pushing buttons without thinking about our actions ahead of time. Making a scale of difficulty for events is better, and we decide which to do based on our position.

[bitter snow]

If your ally doesn't accept steel, and you're unwilling (CoW payouts anyone?)/unable to switch to an alliance that does, then the milestones don't appear to tally well for anyone in terms of "Things to spend it on"

[desert laurel]

If there's no value in my pars stockpile, then converting to dil and getting mats with it seems like the logical choice. I've lost nothing, and gained.

[bitter snow]

And that's the problem I have with it

[chrome rune]

And how do I spend it for the event?

[orchid karma]

Said no scopely employee ever

[bitter snow]

Given that the event is specifically called "Upgrade the station", you'd hope it was achievable by... I dunno... upgrading the station? 🤣

Rather than relying on a loophole to spend it on contributions which you may or may not have

[desert laurel]

Build whatever I was going to build anyway, and dump the rest directly into alliance? that's what I'd do

[tropic aspen]

Yaaaaaaaaaay

:(

[chrome rune]

To finish the event I would have to spend ~600$ probably more, because I don't have mats for buildings.

Assume for a minute my alliance doesn't take steel as contribution

Now what

[bitter snow]

Did that, got first milestone, ran out of mats at ~500m, after mashing all my RnD buildings up to 33, and all 4 turrets up as well

[chrome rune]

I'm happy to upgrade my station, if I could

[bitter snow]

But even if I did have unlimited materials... I'd have to go up a couple of whole ops levels just to spend it all

[chrome rune]

That's fine

I wanna go up

As much as possible

[bitter snow]

Unsafe for me right now 😂

[desert laurel]

There's an option to drop alliance and join one that accepts pars. If you want to keep looking for a way out of the corner

[chrome rune]

That's also unreasonable, especially when the event runs while Alliance Events are also running

[bitter snow]

@chrome rune - any way to get a sum of materials /rss across pre-req buildings etc with the data you have? 🙂

[chrome rune]

Working on something for that

[bitter snow]

Beyond hand balling it*

coool

[desert laurel]

It's a tradeoff, and part of the calculus in deciding if you want to compete/complete a heroic event.

Some players are ill-positioned to do either

[bitter snow]

It's effectively a bad rehash of 'Race to Ops X'

[desert laurel]

Those players should consider skipping the event

[bitter snow]

Have, Am 😂

But when "those players" seems to be the large majority of the playerbase... something went screwy

[chrome rune]

Race to Ops would probably have been perceived better

[bitter snow]

And they don't seem willing to accept that

[desert laurel]

I just leveled twice in the Mariner event, race to ops is infinitely harder than spend pars.

[bitter snow]

And yet, if they'd labeled the event as that, with the same scoring mechanic, it would make a bit more sense

[desert laurel]

It forces spending mats as a cost, and I don't see how that's better at all

[bitter snow]

Maybe including points for mats and trit/dil as well

[chrome rune]

This also forces mat spend. Zero difference

[bitter snow]

Then it would be much more palatable

[desert laurel]

This only forces mat spend if you're positioned poorly

[chrome rune]

Wrong

[desert laurel]

In a pars-accepting alliance, you are greatly positioned and it's easy

[bitter snow]

It's a 50/50 chance whether you're able to spend it in alliance... that's not "positioned poorly" that's "flip a coin"

Which is a terrible mechanic 😂

[chrome rune]

The entire intent of the event it to upgrade your station. That's mat spend. Period.

Stop with the alliance garbage that's not helpful. Because that's a, sort of dumb, b, not possible for all

[bitter snow]

Although... doing it at 1.3m a time, less so 😂

[winged tulip]

Bleh. You're still spending over a month's parsteel output for a bit of dil and gas.

[chrome rune]

So just erase that line from your arguments, it's not valid

[bitter snow]

I wouldn't be surprised if the alliance spend wasn't even considered as a route by the event guy...

[desert laurel]

Why? it's part of determining how well you are positioned, what you have to spend, and what you have to spend it on is absolutely part of the calculation

[winged tulip]

Lets also forget the output from Red alarm event, as that's a mistake that won't be repeated apparently

[bitter snow]

And it's just an unexpected loophole

We know the intent - it's to force people up ops, so they are more likely to spend/etc

And that's fine

[main spindle]

So when will we see this apology bundle that Eco was talking about?

[bitter snow]

But as Ripper says... it's disingenuous to say "Hey, this event which is called Upgrade your station... if you want to complete it... eeeeh, just spend on contributions"

Which has no bearing on upgrading your station

[chrome rune]

The event is literally called "Upgrade the Station".
There is nothing about you can or can't spend in your alliance contribution that makes you well or not well positioned.
You as an alliance member can't control that.
It's a stupid argument. And absolutely the wrong way to try and appease anyone.

[bitter snow]

In fact, it prevents you from doing so, because you just burned all your steel attempting to save mats (or because of lack thereof) 😂

[chrome rune]

Soon

[bitter snow]

If there was scoring for everything that goes into station build - steel, trit, dil, materials 2* and up - then I could see the milestones being somewhat more feasible

You'd also, I suppose, still be able to do it via contributions 😂

Can that please

[desert laurel]

If I have mats, but no where to spend it, this matters.
If I have rss, but no where to spend it, this matters.

Mats/Rss are only half the equation.

[bitter snow]

Attack the argument not the person, don't be a dick

[south arrow]

When one person only is arguing in favour of that event and everyone else says it crap what to you call them 🤣

[desert laurel]

You can control what your alliance accepts as a donation. That's the entire reason we donate in the first place

[south arrow]

Just spend more money that will finish every event easy 🤣

[bitter snow]

not easily though, really

[desert laurel]

I'm arguing in favor of a mechanic, I don't like the event as it is, as we know today.

I'll judge the event in 2 days, when I know more about how it all came together

[bitter snow]

In that case... yes, the mechanic is sound, but lacking

[bitter snow]

... but it's not going to change in that time?

[desert laurel]

Very probable

[bitter snow]

So how can you not judge it yet?

[desert laurel]

But I don't know what's in the chest, nor do I know what other events are planned

[bitter snow]

What other events?

[desert laurel]

Exactly

[soft tulip]

Cause in 2 days Scopely will put out another crap event that will shadow this one, and everyone will forget about spending billions of par for 8 measly shards

[bitter snow]

There's no meta event, it's not tied in together

And the chest, given that it's an 'oops, we screwed the pooch again', really shouldn't be considered as part of the event

[desert laurel]

It's not, but it changes the environment

[bitter snow]

Do you accept that the event as it stands, is pretty terrible?

It's "achievable" if you're in a position to do so, but has nothing to do with ability... just fluke

Like me with my Picard/Bev 😂

[keen mist]

It's an easy event to ignore, how about that

[bitter snow]

I can say now, that the event is asking for 2x the amount of steel that I gained in the last battlepass

And probably 3-4x the amount that I've already spent on building upgrades in the same period

And the payout, is maybe a week of gas payouts?

refinery/etc included

This is not actually a balanced event

[desert laurel]

For many, yes, very easy to ignore. But some people have the positioning to earn rewards and aren't complaining about it.

[bitter snow]

The dilithium is nice, ~15-20m I would guess, but I'm low level, and I reckon that's what you get from battlepass anyway

[soft tulip]

here's an idea, maybe scopely needs to do a vote sent to all see how many think it was a good event and how many thing it was horrible

[bitter snow]

Well, actually I started the month on 0 (I was having to time my franklin runs to be able to repair ships!) and I have 128m now... so even that's not huge

I've only got a very narrow view of it (ops33), but, there is zero incentive to do the event right now. And surely a "well designed event" should at least give people a desire to complete it?

Because the approach to getting people to spend, would be "Well, I can almost complete it, if I just grab X" ?

Rather than the reaction to it being " 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 "

[desert laurel]

How can I call an event terrible if these players are enjoying the fruits that it provides? Just like other events, some even p2p, there are things you can't do, and you shouldn't expect to be able to do them.

[bitter snow]

Are they enjoying it, or just completing on autopilot?

[soft tulip]

p2w ... fixed that for you

[neat barn]

as the ferengi say, "war is good for business"

[bitter snow]

How does it stack up for you, in terms of cost in income vs payout?

[desert laurel]

Someone in my alliance is very gung-ho on it, seems to like it a lot, and he's not a whale. I've asked, and his defense is the one I've already put forward, free mats for useless pars

[neat barn]

well i mean if he said so!

[bitter snow]

In other words, your alliance is not on a trit/dil donation phase

And I'm guessing he's mid-late 30s?

Or a heavy raider

[desert laurel]

The rewards are not all that great for me, I'm not near enough to harrison to where it would be an auto-go

He is late 30s, and we are in a pars-alliance

The cost was 11b for him

[bitter snow]

That point where, there's more steel than you have anything to spend it on...

I remember hitting 38 and looking at the costs creeping to the 1bn mark and going.... well crud, I better start saving

But up to that point, a bit like my dil supply at 33 now.... "wtf do I have all this?"

And the game does take you through some serious famine and flood phases

[neat barn]

you will absolutely go through ALL of the resources you have at some point in your gameplay

[bitter snow]

and I thought it was just the way I messed up the first time round, but I'm getting it again 🙂

[desert laurel]

I can finish the event with my tokens, but I have to consider my costs for the rewards there. And I don't think it's worth it yet.

[bitter snow]

If you don't speed anything up... events cover pretty much anything you need to do, once you start speeding things up, it gets tricksy 😄

[bitter snow]

At which point... it's a pointless event.
If they want to make 'heroic' events, with tough, hard to reach milestones... more power to them.

But they have to make the rewards commensurate.

[desert laurel]

For me, yes, but not for everyone.

[bitter snow]

I see no reason to spend 2 months worth of steel (which I know I'll need later anyway), for the equivalent of 1month dil and 1 week gas

[desert laurel]

From what Eco was posting yesterday, it seems they're going in that direction: Picking better rewards for future heroic runs.

[bitter snow]

I did the first milestone, because, yeah. I was going to hit those buildings anyway, so getting a tiny rebate was not terrible 🙂

But using contributions is just wasteful

[bitter snow]

And that will be acceptable... but this run really isn't well aimed 😂

[desert laurel]

If the intent was broader coverage than this, then yes, poorly-aimed. But making it unpalatable to a large subsection of the players was part of the design

[soft tulip]

so Scopely knowingly designed an event they knew its going to be hated by the larger part of the playerbase ? either thats some big stones, or they really showed how much they care about their players

[bitter snow]

I think given the promise of an 'oops' chest, we know that they know they messed up this time

[versed osprey]

its only because they mislabeled the event

[bitter snow]

That some were able to complete it regardless (and were happy to do so, fair play to them), doesn't really remove the fact that Scopely are tacitly admitting they messed up 😄

I guess we'll find out...

[neat barn]

yeah, i don't feel that just labeling it as "Heroic" is going to help

[bitter snow]

Heroic....

[bitter snow]

https://tenor.com/view/princess-bride-you-keep-using-that-word-i-do-not-think-it-means-what-you-think-it-means-gif-9201569

[clever finch]

So sad to see greed ruin yet another game title.

[chilly pulsar]

Claiming they meant to label it "Heroic" is a ridiculously lame and obviously fake excuse. Scopely continues to take the fun out of playing this game.

[crimson barn]

What exactly is "heroic" about the payout for the event? I can call my car a GT all i want, but it's still just a hybrid, even if i put sightly more expensive fuel in.

[bronze hull]

I think they need another label, the 6hr daily SMS are already labeled 'Heroic' and this event is nowhere near the same level of difficulty as them.

[rigid coral]

Everything in this Event is wrong: The Timing. We had Ressource spending Events the last 3 weekends, so several players spent a lot of Green and Blue stuff as well as Para and Latinum. The ammount: if players still have Para, this Event would zero them. It would be nothing left for next months Events. Your progress would heavily be slow downed. The rewards: for over 120B Para (OPs 45) the rewards are rediculous. It must be changed everything on this Event, If Scopely doesn't want to get angry players again.

[distant dawn]

Does anyone know if Defense platforms are still scoring very low points compared to what they used to score before for the daily events?

[versed osprey]

they are

[distant dawn]

thanks, I guess I will not do today's limites station event then 🙂

[uncut coyote]

Haha I literally just upgraded a Defense Platform and got a pitiful amount of points. Wish I had seen this!

[proven bluff]

You don't think it's right to troll folks who pay to be beta testers?

[weary axle]

This is what they told me, too. I can't imagine that I missed a domination. It takes 2 seconds to finish.

[proud solar]

This is broken....remove this travesty...🤷‍♂️🤦 you made a mistake,now fix it by removing it & where is our sorry box?

[proud solar]

Do we get a sorry box for each day this insult stays up?🙏😇 if not you just adding to the number of pissed off players

[abstract gate]

They said sometime this week

It’ll come

And NO don’t pull it

[proud solar]

& WHERE IS OUR SORRY BOX?

[abstract gate]

Some people are working on (partial) completion

[proud solar]

Stupid is as stupid does ...,I guess🤷‍♂️🤦🖖😔

[abstract gate]

Disagreeing with you makes me stupid. Gotcha.

[proud solar]

No,folks who don't read,maybe... was talking about scopes.... who also don't "proof read " either🤷‍♂️🖖😔

[proud solar]

☝ did that make it all better?

[abstract gate]

Nothing to make better in the first place 🙂 can’t really be moved by your need to lash out so go ahead

[proud solar]

I'm sorry Tommy, are you the arc writer? Did you do this?👀 if so... we need to have a little chat about your expectations 🤷‍♂️😂🤣😂 it's OK,I'll hold your hand,but even moby dick is saying it's a little bit much,...don't you think?🤷‍♂️

[proud solar]

Nothing to make better?🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[maiden bear]

I was ops 34 and had to spend over 4B parsteel to complete this travesty of an event. I’ve spent resources to go to level 35, but once ops 35 was complete, the event reset! Now, my SMS requires me to spend 7.22B in the two days remaining. W T F?!

[abstract gate]

Just scopely things

[gentle pasture]

how could you have done the mistake to upgrade your base in " Upgade your base " event ?@maiden bear

[lunar coral]

Logic á la Sco-pe-lé

[sacred harness]

Where’s our gift? You frauds.

[wintry cypress]

They said this week, so no fraud yet 👀

[sacred harness]

It will probably be Origin Burnham shards. 😂

[wintry cypress]

Its still free 🤷

[sacred harness]

Nothing is free about this game lol

[wintry cypress]

I dont think there is anything not free except for a few researches

It takes more time but its still free

[warm quest]

There's a few officers that so far the only way to get is $$

[wintry cypress]

Right. Like Harrison. Forgot about him

[warm quest]

I mean technically you could get him in a SLB so he's "free"(ish)

Meant the shakedown people.

[wintry cypress]

Ah right, those too

[warm quest]

Those you have to pay for.

[winged tulip]

it's been a very long time since the last harrison slb

[karmic vault]

I believe he's in the Heroic parsteel spend chest.

[earnest hornet]

It’s an event either do it or don’t do it, pretty simple really.

[earnest hornet]

I mean, I did it, so that also makes me stupid I guess @abstract gate 😂😂

[proud solar]

But... why? What was smart about this event...? Help me understand what benefits doing this? Because all I see is massive spend for bugger all returns...what am I missing in the logic train of thought... am I stupidly not seeing it?🤷‍♂️🙏😇

[earnest hornet]

That’s my point, each person has the opportunity to look at it, see what you score and if the rewards are valuable to you.
It’s basically a currency conversion, as many many events are, spend one thing get other things in return,
Here you spending steel, which in regards to money is really no different to pennies that pretty litter the streets,
Sure not disagreeing that it’s a lot to spend, but a lot of people say and have (depending on ops) millions or billions even trillions, and say they can’t spend it fast enough. Why? Materials,
Sure could there be more mats in here, definitely, is there a chunk that can add to what they already have, yes.
If you think of money, Your not being asked to spend a billion $1 coins, your being asked to spend a billion pennies (for example)
A billion pennies has a lower cost value to a billion $coins.
Your converting pennies into something valuable.

Do I say it’s still a fair chunk to spend, yes totally, was it worth while? It all depends what is valuable to you.
Is more materials and dilithium valuable to you? In addition to what you already accumulated?

I had 90 billion RAW steel, doing nothing, that I would easily accumulate more by the time I need to use it. And I can utilise those materials and dilithium.
To me it’s no different to people who spend Latinum in a conversion

Plus whatever I get from the SLB

[upper knot]

Ship upgrade SLB is missing again

[earnest hornet]

At the end of the day, it’s an event you all have a choice to do, you either decide to do it or not.
It Doesn’t make anyone right or wrong to do it. It also doesn’t make anyone right or wrong to NOT do it.
We all have to decide.
If you don’t have the rss then the choice is easy.
No different to a material spend sms, or an ultra recruit sms like we had last month. You decide you want to do it. If you don’t have enough then just carry on

[viral sail]

Yet again the ship upgrade SLB is missing from the daily events. Is this ever going to get fixed?

[proven bluff]

@prime flax When can expect the promised sorry we put out another troll of an event box ?

[keen ledge]

It's been escalated again.

[hearty island]

Ha, only 70M steel myself. 💪

In this event - who spent the least - wins in my eyes

[south arrow]

I’m close one alliance donation 🤣

[short spruce]

this speaks volumes

[sullen barn]

boycott, purposely avoiding spending any parsteel

[frosty fjord]

there deranged with thinking people would do it except for the few whales that buy always. .

[naive meteor]

The only good reason to do that upgrade event would be, If you wanted to jump up an OPS Level before the next Arc 🤔👍🏻

[abstract gate]

I'm excited for scopely to give us permission to upgrade the treasury

2 or 3 weeks hopefully

[hearty island]

You are for me the winner - Congratulations 🎉

[abstract gate]

I hope they give us permission to spend ultra tokens on the next bp

[peak cairn]

Very well said!

[hearty island]

You dont get it. The event leads those who dont think to spend a significant part of their resources for a tiny return. Now most SLBs have a better or worse return. This one is outrageously bad. It is therefore unfair to those who trust Scopely to do right. Some would call this unfair or even fraudulent.

[abstract gate]

Nope you don’t get it. It’s about value in the eyes of the beholder. To me any and all avatar events are events that lead “those who don’t think to spend a significant part of their resources for a tiny return”

Let me illustrate. I have billions and billions of trit. Currently I am waiting months before I accumulate enough rare ore for the next ops upgrade. It’s literally the only thing I need before I get access to pilum. If there were a similar trit to ore/steel event, Would I overspend (meaning: a bad deal in your eyes) all that trit for a modicum of rare ore? Yes.

Is this an event that is a bad deal to a massive chunk of the player base? That it is. But it’s still a choice that has value to some.

[hearty island]

Not sure which ops level u are and how the rewards look for your level. For me they are literal ly peanuts. I will get more on 2 refinery runs. But hey maybe the rewards are asymmetric to the ops level. So cant judge for you. Re: avatar - they are merely an annoyance. I dont think about it

[abstract gate]

Agreed on the avatars. And that’s exactly how I consider this event too 😅 I’ll happily elect to ignore it

[abstract gate]

and where does this come from?

Probably a mistake. Best finish it quickly :p

[distant barn]

Shhhh
Delete those comments lol

[torn crescent]

I had plenty of steel to donate since I’m stuck behind the ops 41 pay wall

[wintry cypress]

41 pay wall? 👀

[torn crescent]

Cannot advance without $$$$ for packs. I’ve gone strictly F2P. Don’t even give Scopely the $20 for the elite BP.

[wintry cypress]

How come there is an f2p 46 then ?

[distant barn]

There's just a lot of uncommon ore and Crystal needed for 40-41.
Struggling there myself

Those high level FtP players have put untold hours into the game, grinding leader boards and mining

It's not impossible, but it's slow going

[torn crescent]

I’ve run into many players who claim F2P when they ONLY spend $200 a month on packs.

[wintry cypress]

This Ops 46 is f2p. They are neither a dolphin nor fake f2p, they are f2p

They still got 5$ Treasury

[torn crescent]

I barely jump on to do dailies anymore. Rewards for events are rather meh.

[torn crescent]

I’m ops 41. The common mats requirements are insane

[bitter snow]

Scrap one each of the 26 ships, and you're through 40

goes downhill from there of course 😄

[torn crescent]

I’m ops 41. Going to 42 requires catching all the buildings up to 41.

[bitter snow]

yep

ehh, not all of them

mostly turrets and the dil vault?

[torn crescent]

Which takes a lot of commons. Refinery pays out squat.

[bitter snow]

yep, need to finish off 3* research then spank everything into mayflowers/etc

I know a guy who bought one battlepass so far, and he's at ops 44... I don't have the patience 😂

But that's also 2 years

[torn crescent]

I’m right at about 2 years, minus 3 months I quit for a while last year.

[scenic cloud]

Yes, I called it Lat myself.

[bitter snow]

This is also very true - new since the last time I did it, and definitely an easier (sorta) route than scrapping

[torn crescent]

Doesn’t help that I am very much bored with the game in general.

[neat matrix]

The refinery is pretty rubbish. As others have said, scrapping mayflowers, d3 and legionary is the way to go, which has funded me all the way to ops 45 (where rare g4 ore is the bottleneck). That's completely f2p (no battlepasses or packs)

As someone mentioned, latinum is the other route.... They reduced the conversion from 10:1 down to 4:1 recently and what with the feesha and the increased lat payouts, it should be more feasible now

[abstract gate]

This. The wall is now 45ish where everything wants rare.

[dapper drum]

scrap those 26's

scale the wall easily

about to hit 42

was 39 start of the year

[hybrid grove]

Lol this upgrade the station is one of the worst event ideas ever. No way I’m spending 88.8 billion parsteel for these trash rewards. You guys going to give me the 4* materials required of me to spend Parsteel?? You guys worry to much about how to make people spend real money than the players.

But yet you guys still don’t add the epic officers to the transporter section or fix the laggy glitches. But hey let’s keep pushing arcs and events that require players to grow and spend money.

[abstract gate]

Scrap mayflower, leg and d3s. No need for $. Not a pay wall at 41 lol

Pay wall would mean you can't easily obtain it. And commons are easily obtained

[neat barn]

when you look at time involved/invested, then really there is nothing free in this game, it's a matter of perspective really

[grizzled mulch]

Does anyone know what the Opus Grande shard brackets are for the SLB? Even better, is there a link to find the event itself? Pretty sure one is coming this weekend, so want to plan

[remote ferry]

I know that 1st place is a full unlock, 2nd is maybe 15 short of a full unlock

there's 50 slots total I believe

[grizzled mulch]

OK. I need 21, so may be able to get that, then

[remote ferry]

You might be good staying at least in the top 25

I got first place when I unlocked my skin

so not much experience competing in it because I don't see the event any more

[grizzled mulch]

Nice. Do you remember how many exmadas you had to call?

[remote ferry]

Almost constantly in an armada for 8-10 hours both days. I was using two Stellas too.

[grizzled mulch]

Yeesh. OK

[remote ferry]

It's an event I never want to do again

I still have a stockpile of juice from it and this was maybe 9 months ago

[grizzled mulch]

lol. Wow

[remote ferry]

It helps to have a strong alliance that can help you with them

[grizzled mulch]

I do, so I’m somewhat hopeful

[remote ferry]

We found it's easier for others to identify you going for the skin if you add "skin" to your name in game

that way stars are delegated more easily

[bronze hull]

https://stfc.space/events/6224e87cc9529978c327aedc You'll need top 10 in order to get 21 shards of the skin in one go

[grizzled mulch]

That’s a great idea

[remote ferry]

Oh I didn't think of checking STFC.space, nice!

Well there ya go, asked and answered

[bronze hull]

Depending on how hard you want it, another thing you can do is just stay up late - half the trouble with the leaderboard is competing for armada spawns, but once it gets to 2 or 3 am EST you'll basically have free reign to go after anything you want.

[grizzled mulch]

Yeah. It’s gonna take some work for sure.

[remote ferry]

As your server matures, it gets easier because less people compete for it

[keen ledge]

My alliance tends to help members who we know are going for it as well.

[copper flicker]

oh scopely your game is messed up again

go into enemy territory, nab an OC ISO miner, defending warship comes for me, before i can hit warp or summon, a pop up window appears with some junk rss, by the time i close it, I'm caught by the warship, this happens over and over again

[bronze hull]

Stop claiming gift chests/pve boxes for a while - it's not perfect, but after a few times round the wagon the rate of that window popping up any time you're targeted should drop.

[copper flicker]

yeah come to think of it looks like a 10 min gift tab

that just so happens to appear when a huge enemy warship is coming right for you

[bronze hull]

yes, what's happening is that whenever someone hits attack, the server is throwing up your last claim instead of or on top of the incoming attack notification

[copper flicker]

yep that is exactly what is happening

something messed up with 10 min. gift tab, I ignored it when it came up, and now, it is on the 10 minute counter again, which means......the tab will appear when an enemy ship comes for me like it has the last few times

[bronze hull]

send in an ablative realta or five to clear the popups?

[brave chasm]

Turf war gone for me

[versed osprey]

yup its gone

why punish us for their mistakes lol

@pseudo rune what happened with turfwars

[scenic kernel]

they finally noticed it lol

they just arrived in their office lol

[versed osprey]

but why not let it run through the end

[copper flicker]

yep, so all that work we have done to place in an event, was for nothing, a complete freaking waste of time

[brave chasm]

Why did it start in the first place?

[elder rock]

They stopped it as soon as i took first 🤣

[versed osprey]

they really are making a lot of oopsies lately

The game is extra scopelyed today

I was up to 7th in the Turf Wars event, all its done is boost my iso coffers, otherwise a lot of wasted time

When you guys ultimately decide to reactivate the event due to community pressure.. be sure to wipe our scores so we can start again. 👍

[frigid ocean]

So they turned turf war on and off, right?

[storm flame]

A gift box with 1st place rewards for all

It was probably also meant to be heroic and they need to reset the milestones 🤣

It's been one of those days.... I start work at 7am my time. I am not coherent before then. A coworker tried calling me at 6:30am.

[proven bluff]

@pseudo rune it’s going to be really fun explaining the event coming back to players invested in the SLB who have recalled their miners

[spring comet]

he has a point there

[warm quest]

How long is "a bit" cuz support says 24hrs and then replies 2 weeks later.

[glacial mauve]

Wait.. support replies to you?

[rough dust]

At reset with scores wiped. 🤣

[copper flicker]

and giving an every player gift is not a just reward for those who worked on this event and those who did nothing

[gentle cobalt]

any other server have turf war event (on 140 now disappeared) with mining iso

[reef wedge]

In before Scopely explains it, "We meant to mark the event as Limited Time, CHeers!"

[pseudo rune]

I don't expect this to take 2 weeks. As soon as I get info on the event's timeline I'll let everyone know

[rough frost]

They reply to me. Everytime. OK they don't answer my questions, but they do reply 😂😂

[neat plover]

you post here or game news?

[proven bluff]

Speaking of gifts, weren’t we promised a gift for the last troll of an event by Scopely?

[spring comet]

jesus someone at scopely other than "jess" replies 🤣

[gentle cobalt]

I got mariner last shard from this 'missing' events

[copper flicker]

reward, meant, compensation, compensation means getting something for losing something, such as time and effort, everyone getting a scopely oopsy package does 0 justice

[jovial sky]

People like to blame other players when people are quitting. It's this type of stuff that makes them quit

Apparently Scopely cannot decide if there should be a TURF WARS event these days or not. After this event appeared on our list this morning out of the blue, now it disappeared in the same miraculous way it appeared. I fell like it is a David Coperfield show: now you see it, now it's gone. At least I'm happy I managed to finish the SMS part of the TURF WARS.

[final prism]

Where did the Turf Wars event go?

[keen ledge]

Agreed. I thought they were fun but the implementation definitely would need to be balanced (time zones as well as f2p accessible)

Yes vanished on 134 too

If an event been running over ten hours as a mistake … throw us a bone and let it play when invested time and effort in it.

Definitely agree, it was running for almost half a day so it should have stayed up

[gentle cobalt]

they have again problem with data (for my pc version he lost on every restart what is in archive for missions, some settings and all officers and ships are marked as new)

i just know scopley is going to give a generic oopsy chest that does not distinguish from those that worked on the event, who put in time and effort, from those that did not even start the event and did nothing

[final prism]

... I get a second chance to the SMS?

[frail void]

Few minuts means at reset and your progress = gone

[bitter snow]

Or, hear me out... they're taking the time to restore a backup of progress...?

[final prism]

Would be nice for a change. getting 2 SMS's

[bitter snow]

Although, yeah, I didn't give a monkeys about the SLB, so a second SMS would be nice 😂

[plucky ermine]

good thing I completed the iso event before it was pulled

Handling of the situation is still abysmal

[bronze hull]

Man, all these people coming in 30-40 minutes after the event is pulled talking about their spot on the leaderboard - you'd think if you're watching your miners to compete you would have noticed faster lmao.

[echo dune]

Communicate: hey guys real sorry we need to pull this event as not intended to be a two day one happening. Rest assured anyone ranked WILL be getting something to make your effort worthwhile for only half a days play. We apologise.

And then after communicating that … pull event.

[frail void]

Shus you ....

[karmic parrot]

Something is starting in 4 min

[vapid cairn]

I disagree with that - once an event is posted, whether intentional or accidental, it shoudn't be pulled. Scopely's done corrections on events where scoring was setup wrong or unintentionally difficult, but an event should never just disappear.

[flint temple]

called it

[versed osprey]

Don't they dare reset the SLB

[vital drum]

Of course they will

[bronze bloom]

Scopley : @pseudo rune where is iso mining gone?????😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡 totally incompetent scopley!!!!! Without words mean turf wars?

[final prism]

have we been beta testing the Turf Wars event this afternoon?

[echo dune]

Yep did say that earlier

[glacial mauve]

Turf wars in 3min

[plucky ermine]

event is restarting in 2 min 🙂

[steady narwhal]

they're turning it back on

[glacial mauve]

get your miners and vidars ready

[versed osprey]

youre late to the party

[vital drum]

It will be back before people know it's gone, then they will be asking what happened to the leaderboard lol. This is quite a mess

[rocky relic]

event is coming back in a minute

[rough dust]

Scores are wiped. 🤣

[plucky ermine]

Well they can restart that event every 6 hourse - no problems with that on my end though

[peak cradle]

Scores are gone

[distant quartz]

gtfo!

[sonic solstice]

As long as I still get the SMS rewards, fine

[plucky ermine]

rank 1 awards 2 shards, 2x SMS also awards 2 shards...

[distant quartz]

[plucky ermine]

Apparently you can complete it again

[storm flame]

From all the ways to solve it is incredible how Scopely is always able to choose the worst

[distant shore]

Starting again from 0?

lol

[proven bluff]

😂😂😂

[deep hedge]

Starting over at zero. Get bent whoever did this

[tawdry seal]

As long as scopley does not go into our accounts and remove what we have earned. 😒 they do have a questionable history

[tawdry minnow]

Event has reset and all rewards?

[rough dust]

@pseudo rune .. so. How does Scopely plan to compensate those of us doing well in the SLB only to have our scores wiped clean? 🤔

[proven bluff]

@pseudo rune Scopley gonna take the awards for the sms we completed away from us?

[peak cradle]

Scoring is bugged (nvm it’s lag)

[tawdry minnow]

Yes ! Wonder what we get 🤣

[bronze bloom]

Scopley is now totally incompetent!!!! Delete without words a SLB???? Sry but the responsible ppl have to be fired instant!!!!!! @pseudo rune

[covert spruce]

There should just be a compensation chest for everyone that didn’t get to complete the SMS with the full rewards

[proven bluff]

They’ ll get to that after we get the last compensation promised to us

[rough dust]

2? SURE!

[dawn edge]

What the hell is going on?! Haven't been mining ISO all day for the fun of it!!! Why have they reset the events?! 😡 😩 Il take my rewards from the SLB now please!!!! 🤷‍♂️

[copper flicker]

now i got events titled: Retrieving....oh joy

[modest jay]

All I get is “retrieving”

[nocturne kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/monsters-inc-mike-wazowski-is-that-a-joke-tell-me-youre-joking-are-you-joking-gif-24009770

[copper flicker]

cleared cache, restart game, same thing

[steady narwhal]

you didn't mine it right so they reset your score

[main ore]

Official comms BS

[unique lodge]

And how is Scopely going to compensate the ones who didn’t finish it because it started overnight not at any usual event start time

[sudden ledge]

WOW resetting the turf war event...... Thanks for the double free SMS but what a ......

[unique lodge]

Since those who did start and finish it get double rewards

[frosty notch]

no 4* mats for ops 41 good job scopely

even after accidental remove you didnt fixed it )

[bronze bloom]

@pseudo rune: whole scopley incompetent for a game and now the simple things not working…. Go away, pls do far as any scopley can go!!!!!

[spark zealot]

that should be an error...

[main ore]

Can't fix it you mean won't fix it as that's too much hard work

[mental yoke]

So some got an easy sms and awards if they happened to be on any right time. Others get left out of that and get a more points required sms. And all those that were going for the slb get forked and the only answer is sorry…

[copper flicker]

means they would have to dig into their deep profits and pay someone to actually make the game work

[snow nest]

give me the rewards from earlier, why can't they fix this. Mistakes are mistakes, make it right

[stiff lark]

@pseudo rune What about all the work I already put in to come first in the previous turf war SLB?

[errant abyss]

some ppl's efforts just got ruined.

[snow nest]

I was rank 2

[stoic crystal]

I think there should give everyone the top award as a sorry

[rocky river]

that's some serious crap, I was first by a HUGE lead.

[clever obsidian]

No confirm delete button then

[jaunty crypt]

6 hours of mining 2 star isogen, only to loose all my points for it.

[pulsar moss]

<@&509691205798592532> this is a joke. Please pass on to scopley. We spend enough time and money and to be treated like this is unbelievable. What about those that spent time doing the event. Sorry tough go again ?

[tidal storm]

Not fixed

[rich coral]

scopely is so full of it... between "Heroic" and "Stopped by accident", it's obvious how made up the excuses are

[tidal storm]

…makes you wonder why we continue to play the game

[abstract gate]

Heroic not scoring for anyone else or just me 😆

[stiff lintel]

We dont need or want sorry... we want adequate compensations for time spend and lost ships !!

[tidal storm]

…and give Scamley money

[frozen bluff]

The event intern really botched this one, eh?
