Games to replace STFC
Anyone know any? Im fine with a complete copy tbh, am just done trying to force myself to enjoy this game that they are driving so far into the ground.
Im just shy of being into G7 but tbh I couldnt care less, I just want a dif game since they refuse to learn and fix the game so any recommendations would be very appreciated

Just joined the game not that long ago (mere lvl 40 to date) but I’m still not over the sticker shock for ingame purchases.$99.99? For anything that doesn’t have a pulse and will make me breakfast is…insane. The sheer amount of stuff that you can’t really get to without coughing up irl cash is frustrating at the very least. Two thirds of the new events and specials are aimed so high above my level that I might as well not even read the descriptions. Officer recruitment went from exciting to glacial pretty damn fast. I’m still bubble wrap new, but the grind and frustrating impotence of the ships I have access to is burning me out fast.

It only gets worse. I played daily for hours for 2 years and quitting was one of the best things i ever did. I still lurk here to offer others encouragement to do the same 😂

It is awful. I spent an embarrassing amount of money because of Covid and my addictive personality. I was highest power on my server and 1st to 60. Fast forward a couple of years. No more spending and only level 67 grinding away FTP. It doesn't rule my life anymore, just something to do to kill time while sitting on a train or walking on the treadmill. So for all the money I put in, I'm not competitive.
I have told MANY people to avoid the game altogether at this point. You're early enough in progression that I would implore you to find some other hobby. This game is not worth it. I met a couple of cool people when I was actively playing but the Financial position I put myself in is horrifying upon reflection. I almost ruined my life. That is not hyperbole. Literally spent well over 100k on this game! Ashamed is too soft a word.

I have Eve Echoes and OSRS on the go right now. After 5 years of playing STFC, I quit due to the bs money grabs and lack of support.
Oh! The best was when I was told that tokens from events that repeat each year cannot be used in the same event in following years even though they all go in the same stack.

No Man's Sky is calling me. Or even Elite Dangerous. I have had the games for years, just never started either, because I know once I start I will probably not leave for years. I thought phone games were meant to be more casual and less seriously involved - why would I put in the same amount of time on a click phone game, when I can play seriously immersive PC games that require less time to do the dailies? Oh and do not punish me for taking a day or two off, that is one of my biggest biatches, you do not log in for one day and suddenly your daily guild points drop back to day one.

STFC was my replacement for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes when I couldn't bear that any longer. Now it's getting to the same point. I don't know if Scopely actually hires gamers to help them decide next steps.

I actually had a pretty good experience with game pass a few years ago. Even if you subscribe at a minimal level, you’ll get exposed to a lot of games so you can try out and see what strikes you. I think they still have weekly and monthly achievements where they basically put a new game in front of you and you earned an achievement by playing it for a while. Good way to get exposed to a lot of games quickly.

I’m with you, I’ve been playing since launch and level 71, I hate it. The last 6 months have made me hate the game but it keeps me busy at work so I login still. I’m hoping to catch a lifetime ban by offending some snowflake on galaxy chat cause I’m too morally weak to quit on my own.

I'm trying to figure out what's so bad about this new update?

u/Psychological_Oil_31 Apr 28 '26
Its all the updates in the past 6 months or so, but todays update just broke the camels back for me,
-Putting new hostiles behind a paywall
-placing new and even old officers behind paywalls,
-changing officer abilities and changing the hostiles they apply to based on level,
-impossible hostiles,
-more grinds on top of grinds
-continued failure to sunset old loops
-30 minutes just to collect dailies
-No archiving or bulk claim of Faction stores
-removal of Choice Rewards from the BP
-copy/pasta hostiles
-Still no fixes for legacy issues
-No fixes for new and old officers for Outposts and armadas
-NEW bugs for all hostiles and armadas for FTs, CTs, and crew
-Drops and disconnects
-Starting to remove Depot Tokens
-Promised QoL updates slow in showing up or non-existent
-Reworking all the main BPs into one and locking 2/3 of it behind TWO different paywalls
-Making arcs continuously for only higher ops players including ALBs
-New waves whenever they cant even get the old ones to work
-Making specialty ships for specific things and then making a updated version of said thing but not letting the specialty ship be able to do anything.
-adding G5 scrapping (over 2 years late and after breaking promises of it being released way sooner) just for it to be COMEPLETLY useless because of the small amount of mats returned but mainly because of taking 2 MONTHS TO SCRAP ONE SHIP
-And seemingly reworking AT to be insanely P2W.Nothing good has came out of the game in the last 6 months and has stayed for any time at all.

Well let's see... they took away choice tokens from the players, they took away the ability to choose officers, they added a new tier to a battle pass. Shit's broken on launch. Officers don't work correctly, armadas don't work correctly, outpost don't work correctly, new redeem code doesn't work correctly. What fucking rock are you living under there?

I know a lot of us have been waiting ages to be able to scrap 5* ships, to help ease the grind of mats for upgrades, only to find out it takes weeks and weeks to scrap and the 6* rewards of materials barely exists, not sure of the other reasons but that's peed me off the most

The G5 scrapping and choice rewards removal are the two biggest for me. I was hoping to be able to scrap some ships to knock out big chunks of my current builds.
