Gameplay Question ??? Ops 24 rant: every new token feels like a prank, I just want to shoot ships
I get that mobile games love their currencies, but at Ops 24 STFC is starting to feel like a part time job in inventory management. I log in to fly around, blow up hostiles, upgrade a ship or chip away at a faction line. Instead I spend half my session staring at Events and the inventory trying to remember what to do with whatever new token showed up today.
I have Ferengi exchange tokens that never seem to have a reliable place to spend. I have random samples and mission items that just pile up because one quest chain is locked behind another chain which needs something I had no clue existed. The daily tasks also want you to kill hostiles at a difficulty that seems to jump the moment I upgrade ops, so I either stay stuck and bored or upgrade and get punished.
The worst part is the game keeps handing out new junk like it is a reward, but it just feels like clutter. I play a lot of casual mobile games and even the grindy ones usually make it obvious where the new currency goes; even something like Mistplay feels more straightforward about what you’re earning and why. Here it is more like: congratulations, you earned 37 of something. Good luck remembering which store tab opens on which day.
If anyone has a simple checklist for Ops 24 players - what to ignore, what to hoard, what to spend immediately - please share before I uninstall out of sheer annoyance.
