Thousands of players of Star Trek Fleet Command are encountering extremely overpowered players at Level 40 and above whom are able to strike 20 levels beneath them. This power disparity allows a select few players to “grief” the server with no possible recourse. Lower level players are less capable of playing the game to its fullest. Scopely claims this just part of PvP gameplay, however PvP is rarely rewarded in events or progressing in the game.

We are petitioning Scopely to change the PvP levels to +/- 8. This would force harassing players to fight closer to their own level and allow lower level players the opportunity to fully participate in the game.

I have been reviewing the feedback regarding the current matchmaking dynamics within the game. The patterns of unfair engagement described in your comments clearly demonstrate a need for structural reform. I am currently organizing these testimonials to present a more formal request to the development team.

The momentum behind this petition highlights the widespread frustration regarding current combat mechanics. Your collective commitment to a fairer playing field sends a clear message to the developers.

Brackets of 5-6 ops either side is fine by me. Me being hit by someone 14 ops higher and I can only hit 7 ops lower (im ops 31) is ridiculous. The power difference is astronomical.

If PvP could be changed to +/- 8 levels it will stop lower level players getting disheartened and lose interest in the game and ultimately stop playing.

Hit levels should be 4 up 2 down starting at level 12. ie. 12 can hit 10 to 16, 20 can hit 18 to 24. 32 can hit 30 to 36. You get the picture. Encourage upward growth. right now i have zero incentive to move into a bracket where players 8 to 10 levels above me can attack my base or ships. So until this changes, Scopely, I will hold at where I am.

The current setup is totally unfair to the vast majority of players, in a PvP event a high level paying player can smash my level 22 ship but I am not allowed to hit a level 25 or 26 player with less power because their level is too high, get real Scopely.

It is not only an issue with PvP but events as well, where a lv 39 player is competing with a lv 29. And same applies to alliance events like CoW or Arcs where a 20 player alliance has the same goals as a 75 player alliance

Up 7, down 5 would be my vote. I don't really care how they do it, but they do need to stop the high level miner killers sweeping systems with full impunity.

The power ranges are setup to provide the pay to win players with all the advantages. Let theses players use their in game abilities against each other. Scopely needs to show some appreciation to the daily grinders.

Something needs to be done. The game may be succesful but it bleeds players due to the unfair pvp
