Scopley Game Designer Bad Practices – Star Trek Timelines Review

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING! I purchased a few game pack upgrades to accelerate my gameplay and get to a point where this game would be fun. Yesterday I logged into the game to find my base being attacked repeatedly (over 25 times) by another player. This player (StingX) was able to deplete all of my purchased resources by half in less then 15 minutes! I emailed Scopley to point out this flaw in their PvP gameplay. I need everyone to understand, strong game players with high level fleet ships can literally steal all of your virtual resources through repeated attacks, resources that you buy via the Apple Store, in a matter of minutes. I contacted Scopley and their reply... “We have forwarded your complaint (flaw) to our programmers, we can not guarantee that any changes will be made in the future, but we thank you for your input.” In essence, Scopley is condoning “REAL” theft! They are receiving your “REAL” money for game packs that contain “VIRTUAL” resources and allowing advanced players (with advanced ships) to attack your “Starbase” repeatedly in a serial fashion when you are not online and “STEAL” those “VIRTUAL” resources that you paid for with “REAL” money. I enjoy PvP play, but I cannot condone a game flaw that literally allows one player to steal resources from another player, paid for with real money!!!!! Again, be warned, do not buy any game packs for this game!
