My ask its simple ----- when we download new patch in special operation now we no find ships parts. I play spec ops every day and i and my friends no find ship parts now . Its bug of game or deliberate action and at start patch 1.3.12b ??? Its that - now give gs for best place , but no longer ships parts from victories spec ops?
3000 GS would be great but I can see the frustrations from the above comments as well. Hopefully loot drops will be better eventually and as far as me being one of those that gets the 3000 GS it is a possibility because the corp I’m in does spec ops daily and we are usually at the top of the board not to mention once we all get r14 dessy’s it will be more normalized and the ones that are currently at the top wont really have the upper hand. Skill isn’t really an issue with this so np!

Glad to see you seen my connection.
My gripe with spec ops is it is useless now. This gold tease seems to be their replacement. I dont feel this gold will make up for the lack of rewards to play the mode. 3500 gold buys ~3 5x containers which give one one electrum. Not really worth the effort. I can no longer ask people in global to join me. The rewards have been lackluster, so pushing for an alternate way to form a wing is not worth it. Since I can no longer coordinate I have nearly stopped playing the game.
I would prefer if niripas would stop replying or comment to anything I write. As I see it as a form of baiting.
I hereby want just to say I am not replying nor commenting to anything you write. I am doing so only if I feel my input will bring something to the conversation or to correct obvious misconception or theories written as a fact without proper grounds. Thank you for your valuable input in this topic, however I noticed some discrepancy between you statements in this thread and another one, so I would just give a clarification on that and/or give you a chance to enhance your further input. Let’s take your very own post:

and let’s take THE WORST x5 purchase result you published here:
(it was before the latest patch). So your worst purchase EVER granted you one Enriched Electrum, not one Electrum. 12x difference. I can only assume you made a mistake in that post, because otherwise it will be an example of spreading false information, but we know you want only the best for your fellow players. Also as this post you made was after the patch, then you surely know that it’s no longer possible to obtain single ore drop from x5 containers and you just forgot about it. Am I right? Because saying that container can drop something without actually checking that would be just an unsupported theory which some less experienced players than you will take as a fact and will be disappointed if they will find out that a person of your reputation was mistaken in such fundamental fact. To spare you trouble of taking screenshots of actual results, let me provide screenshots from my own experience after the patch. I purchased few containers of beryllium and electrum which of course is not giving me grounds for prediction of how much resources I can expect from them, just to confirm they didn’t drop a single ore reward.
My worst containers after the patch:
Beryllium:
Electrum:
Back to the topic.
Rewards for SpecOps are pretty good especially for people that don’t have everything maxed out. Destroyer gives ~100k vouchers and considering it’s 20 minute task to do all tiers, I would say it’s pretty substantial reward for people still upgrading something. Ship part drops are rare, but they do happen. In worst case scenario you will end up with a monocrystal. So pursuing new tactics to speed the specops up while trying it doing the specops can give you pretty good amount of resources and if the tactic and execution will be valid - a claim for that 3k GS prize for every person in the wing.
It would be nice if the record would reset every like 6 months or so, or if there was a multiplier after each recorded record on each wednesday, just to get the best record vibe out. But thats a ballsy change lol

People are not stupid. They will abuse this.
Steps are simple: Keep some time left, but still be 1st on the Leaderboard, so that next week you can improve your time by 5 or 10 seconds, to get another reward.
If you ask me, it would be fairer, to just add a timer and requirements, like no deaths, with included HD video and game logs, just to ensure fair play.
or they could use it as a method to bait people into spending money for destroyers. The kinds of people who would spend hundreds of dollars on a videogame (for gachapon boxes) to get rewarded with 3000gs (or more importantly a spot on a leaderboard that congratulates them for “being awesome xD”). They exist, they’re actually a large part of the spending active community and this is one of the smarter money moves the sc people have made and I hope they use that money to add new content to the game that everybody can enjoy. Personally I was only interested in specops for the ship parts, but I heard they removed them. So now interest is waning. If I want base components I have a salvage strategy that runs almost entirely off of credits and for cheap.
The more the patches, the more you can feel they are intentionally killing their game and try to squeeze maximum of money of it.
It’s actually a real buisness way of doing things.
Won’t blame them.
Their goal is to make investors happy… Not us.

I wish they’d put some of that money into advertising. Even with all the space games coming out this one still holds a unique playstyle. This game has been going the way of that chinese vehicular combat game MWO for a while now. no, not the mech game. The one with cars. If you’ve never heard of it you get the idea.

May I ask for the source of that information, please?

Why would you advertise when we have players constantly scaring away potential players? have you seen steam comments? or reddit? they are full of negative comments far away from reality. A lot of them has little to no argument…but its enough to prevent people from figuring out how things work actually.

I think recruiting is a mistake as over half the people I recruit want me to fly with them ALL the time and when I cant they cry about it and don’t play the game again. As for me I didn’t have anyone recruit me and I found people to fly with on my own.

blaming customers and potential customers for nobody buying your product is certainly not the first step in attracting new customers and it wouldn’t even be an issue if star conflict had a booth at gamescom or the like and was putting reviews/adverts in publications. People are more willing to trust a news source than a random stranger especially if the game as a big positive image in the public spotlight. In regards to the difficulty of this game as a new player, the last time I tried to get someone interested in this game they stuck with it for two weeks, got tired of a combination of bot matches and getting farmed by people in kalahs, and they left to go back to planetside. I had no idea what he was talking about until I played lower tiers in a low synergy ship with white and green modules and wound up in an argument with two grouped people in kalahs who called me stupid for trying to do skirmish without full synergy and purple modules and one of them bragged about their farming skills. I then realized there was room for improvement in both matchmaking and some counter intuitive game elements that create frustration in people who are not familiar with them. some of which has been addressed like the upgrade system and beacon rotation, but others like tutorials on how to build effective ships are still non existant. This last one is especially effective at causing frustration and projection onto the game. New players don’t know what they’re doing, they have poor equipment and a poor understanding of the game, they are taken advantage of, get mad and blame the people farming them and the game, then leave and write a bad review after only a few hours.
or at least that’s my opinion.

this also, whether I use the invite system or they come to the game naturally through me talking about it. not that I don’t mind but we wind up in queue for long periods of time for skirmish followed by strong competition they haven’t yet had time to prepare form. In pve there’s no issue, though, but people I lure to this game want to do pvp not pve.
Spec ops do reward ship parts, thats the main reason people do it and yes, there are tetris lovers who cant part ways with this game getting into higher levels so they bash until something happens, sadly.
Its rarely only one thing affecting, multiple sources benefit the same consecuence. Probably what you say is a reason for new players to leave, as well with terrible ping management, or players saying this game is P2W, players saying there are plenty of hackers, etc. Maybe i was lucky to not read general chat and the forum to get a brainwash and use my head to figure out how to play well and how things work in SC. SC has a lot of toxic players…and the worst thing is that they stay in the game…only to keep throwing garbage at it. You may get new players by advertising, but these SC haters will make them leave (and they’ve already done a lot). I found funny Ketriaavas signature in reddit: “I hate SC cause i love it”…sure, so because you love your family you are justified to do domestic violence.
