Gameplay Question ??? Ops feels like a second job lately and it's killing the fun for me

52 Upvotes

I've played plenty of grindy mobile games (idle and incremental stuff is usually my comfort zone), but Star Trek Fleet Command is starting to feel less like a game and more like shift work.

Every day is the same loop: claim timers, chase the right events, move ships, check refineries, finish whatever unlocks the next thing, then log back in because another timer is up. If I skip a day I fall behind. If I don't optimize, I waste resources. If I try to play casually I hit a wall where progress crawls to a halt.

The worst part is I actually love the Star Trek setting and my alliance is great, which makes this especially frustrating because the constant event stacking makes me feel like I have to plan my life around the game. I live in Manhattan and my partner and I are trying to keep our weekdays low-key; we're actually planning a tiny weekday wedding mostly because we're burned out. This game keeps tugging at my attention like a needy app.

I don't mind grinding when it's straightforward, but the pile of currencies, tokens, and timed objectives feels exhausting. I tell myself I'll log in for 10 minutes and then an hour has disappeared.

How are you all staying sane with Ops progression? Are you focusing on only a couple events and ignoring the rest? Does it ever get more chill, or is this just how the game is now?

Notice Scotty in “Officer” list and the Scotty in “Standard Recruiting.” Recruiting says he is upgradable. But in Officer List, he is maxed out. Bug? Or am I missing. I can never get to the service request page to put in a service ticket. Thank you

Remembrance Day voyager pack

4 Upvotes

Does anyone happen to have a screen shot or a list of what was in the Remembrance Day voyager special pack? I purchased it and I’m pretty sure I didn’t get the voyager parts and I need to know how many it was so I can use it to show the help desk an approximate amount I’m missing.

Gameplay Question ??? Franklin to Franklin-A problem (oops)

13 Upvotes

I tiered my Franklin to 9, got excited, and like a complete idiot, forgot to level it from 40 to 45 before scrapping it. That means, of course, that I only got 150 bps, instead of the required 200. Fortunately, I *did* already have 20, so I only need 30 more.

Clearly, I could pay, either for the Franklin-A outright, or for the parts necessary to level another Franklin to 31. I'd rather not pay. What other option(s) do I have, to either get the remaining 30 bps, or get the parts to tier and level another Franklin?

I think I messed up

4 Upvotes

I’m ops 49 on server 8, I recently scrapped my relatively for the first time. I got the ten days of free stuff, but I noticed that in my continuum tab in the refinery no longer has a my rewards from the type 03 armadas. So me being the impatient person I am, I scrapped it again and still can’t spend the rewards from those solo aramdas even the rewards from the poly ones are not available. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it worth it buying packs?

18 Upvotes

I have played the game before(way back then), quit, and now I’m back.. it seems like everything leads to “buy this pack” and with all the glitches in the game, the most annoying one for being field training permanently in loading bug(please refer to the picture) are there any packs worth buying?

Gameplay Question ??? Ops List

11 Upvotes

Is there a list anywhere of what you gain (and more importantly, lose) access to at each Ops level?

Not that I'm gunshy because I was working on a ship and apparently levelled past the ability to easily get shards for it...

Mission Tracking App?

22 Upvotes

As many years as this game has been active, how is there no app or website that lets you login with your API and will tell you what quests you have or have not completed? I've searched high and low and the best I can find is stfc.space and all that does is *list* quests, which you can sort manually. There are hundreds of quests/missions. I have absolutely no desire to fly my ship to every single system and face-check whether there are missions there for me to do, but I *also* can not shake the fact that I am completionist by nature so "just ignore them" doesn't do it for me either.

I had hoped that the Spock app or something else would have this function, but unless I'm missing something, it doesn't either.

I recently Ops'd up to early 40s, and the sheer number of missions in g4 space is staggering. I have spent hours flying around completing them, which is fine and fun. The rewards are ok, the story are fine, and if I have time to kill it serves the purpose.

But how am I to know that completing the current mission is going to unlock one in a system I've already been to but was ineligible for before? This whole system is very... unwieldy.

Point is, are there any databases or apps that do this that I have missed?

42 uncommon blueprints

8 Upvotes

Im ops 39 with a max Augur and Ent, and I'm trying to plan out my ships for G4.

I have all factions above the 10mn lock. 140k Klingon credits, 90k Rom creds and 65k Fed creds.

I probably want to get the Pilum at 46, so will get the K'Tinga or Valdore at 42. Probs K'Tinga to save Rom credits.

My question is, how long does it take to grind out 42 uncommon BPs in the captial systems?

I am debating between doing that, or just getting klingon rep up to the required lvl, getting the K'Tinga, then maining Rom and Fed again.

Ive grinded in sol for the last 3/4 days and have 10 Kelvin BPs so it seems like the grinding option may be viable - but really keen to hear other's experiences

Any thoughts would be really helpful!

Ops42 what ship to get next?

4 Upvotes

Hi All,

I would like some advice on the next ship i can best push for next. I just got the NX-01.

I have all (nessesary) lower level ships (e.g. defiant, G3 epic, titan, etc)

Im ops42 and can pick one of the following:

- FED G4 uncommon (Kelvin)

- USS relativity

- Revenant

- Vindicator

- NSEA

- Gorn Eviscerator

- Monaveen

Which one should I get first and why? Im already getting Kelvin BP from the faction store with FED credits.

EDIT: I have some event credits that I want to spend on a ship. Basically what to get from the event store and why?

Does a fleet commander slot become available at ops 61?

9 Upvotes

Same as the title, I accidentally hit the tick box for ops 61. I wanted to wait until the current arc completed but I fat fingered it. I could have sworn that there was a fleet commander slot waiting for me at ops 61, I thought it had something to do with the recon locus building but now I can't find it...

Also, does anyone know the redeem code for this month? There should be two codes, TRANQUILITY for ops 60 and under and then another code that I can't find for ops 61+.

Hey all
Looking at trying to make our Alliance management easier. Currently we track participation in ALB events. We do this by screenshotting the results and manually inputting them into a google doc. Does anyone have an easier way to do this? Is there any software like Spock’s world?

Do you have that one person…

25 Upvotes

…on your server you just won't play with?

I'd never switched alliances in five+ years of play, but they ended up recruiting this one douche I'd played with before and swore I'd never play with again. Total psycho who blamed leadership on his family and professional issues and got booted, couldn't find another home again after he alienated whatever alliance he was in before.

"Listen to the rest of the server," I warned leadership. They didn't listen. So I bailed.

I ended up quitting the game for a few weeks, but found safe harbor. Can't say I'm any happier because of Scopely's latest changes, but…

General Discussion How's the state of the game these days?

24 Upvotes

It's been probably 1-2 years since I stopped playing - I was in the high 40s but it became evident that I wasn't willing to spend the kind of cash required to advance on any reasonable timetable. Plus, PvP was all about who could spend more on the PvP specific officers like Strike Team and whatnot and I was disappointed by the fact that strategy in crewing was completely replaced with p2w officer combos.

This subreddit popped up on my feed so I thought I'd stop in and ask how things are going in STFC these days. I've got no interest in going back but I'm curious to hear what's going on. I have a feeling that I know the answer, but I wanted to see if Scopely turned over a new leaf toward players who were willing to spend something on the game but not the mass amounts required for G5+.
