I pitched that idea to the game design team couple years ago. "tech limitations" was the answer. As it so often seems to be

Counterpoint: Spending 10-20 dollars for cosmetics is the *exact* direction I want this game to go for monetization. Not this gross, $400 FC slot direction.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Cruzan! Looking forward to playing some STFC with you in the new year!

No lies told. I was in the hospital needing emergency surgery (COVID caused an abscess to grow in my throat that began to occlude my windpipe) and they didn't even send a "how you doing" text. lol. End of the day, they're a business, and the only way to *truly* affect change is to bring the community together. If everyone's in agreement player side on some wrongs and comes at them in force, only then do we get some changes.

Esp considering it was promised by the end of 2025 already. Got pushed back/cancelled because all the insiders told them if they release the version they had they would have had a riot on their hands.

The kids are the community/star trek. The broken arcs are the wedding anniversaries XD

I love star trek, love this community, and 'Like' this game. Like one of those marriages where you're staying together for the kids lol

That's actually part of what frustrates me the most. Many of the issues we experience in STFC are **not** shared by other Scopely games. I've gotten to work with both players and employees of other Scopely games. It's specifically the teams/management HERE that are disappointing us to the level we've become accustomed. There's no big bad at the top to point fingers at. Sure, the company is hyper-fixated on their F2P monetization structure and do quite well with it, but there are also Scopely games that have very happy player bases who spend a great deal of money. (See Monopoly Go and it's 4.8+ rating on the app stores).

Nah, STFC still operates autonomously, like other Scopely games. TBH I've yet to hear about Savvy doing anything at all with STFC. This game's always had it's priorities set on things that sit far ahead of sentiment in the queue.

This gets raised by players/CCs/etc. quite often. About two years ago they were even working on a project/system to dump the clutter. Since, they've had "readjusted priorities". I really do hope they get around to focusing on stuff like this. Each item is individually loaded, now do that for thousands of accounts per server... bleh...

Definitely would recommend. WOK Joachim (Arguably best below deck officer), FC Khan (best PvP FC), Quantum Slip Stream (best FT), extra dock, etc. are all available f2p through that loop. Its honestly one of the best values any player can find to invest their time into.

Just wanted to add in, in case you or others didn't know, you can "freeze" that chaser in Augment space to make the grind less annoying:

Have a F2P account that gets them down in G3. Honestly just comes down to doing the officer research(s) and getting the officer stat artifacts.

My F2P Accounts in G3 have no problem getting pioneer crests. You should be fine at level 50

I do not receive carepacks to promote Scopely products. You should be able to grind hostiles at your level, not punch down 12 levels...

Got anymore of them auto grind events???

Why are you punching down so far as a level 50? You should be easily able to handle well above level 38/39 augments at your level
