[wary kernel]

Oh hey, new channel. Key strategy, the game is better with friends. Or at least a helpful alliance 🙂 If you're still in a starter alliance you join at the start of the game, if it's not active, consider looking for another one that will have people to help you with armadas, questions, etc.

[lofty marsh]

[vernal osprey]

Number one strategy: avoid the cash store
Number two: find a good alliance you like to hang out with
Three: It's okay to ignore events and entire loops to reduce your daily time in game
4: Don't get too mad when people hit your ships
5: Use cargo protection crews on your miners to discourage them being blown up
6: Don't forget the game is made up of pixels on your screen, it isn't that important
7: Use PMC (Pike Moreau Chen) for everything until you get better crews
8: PMC is still good for Q Trials even for high level players
9: Don't go for every single faction ship, only get one per shipyard level and skip the G4 epics if going straight to G5
10: PvP will always suck, don't spend money trying to get better on it, focus on your crews and grinding officer shards

[alpine matrix]

Should pmc be in that order, assigned left to right, With Moreau as captain?

[vernal osprey]

No, the Captain of the ship is Pike, almost all crews will be listed Captain first then the two bridge officers

[burnt orbit]

Basically like a chain of command, as you would see them sat on the bridge of a starship

What I've always focused on since I started was to make sure that whenever I level my ops up, I complete as much research as I can to ensure I have a decent package added to my core foundation. Too many players think that just be leveling up quickly makes you stronger...

I'm level 66 (just turned), but am able to compete against those up to 69, because of the research adding a nice pretty package on top of my ships power and crew abilities.

You'll also find it less of a struggle to hit those bigger hostiles/armadas and reap the rewards.

Oh and you'll probably find yourself in MU more than any other faction or token specific space.. as long as you use that time wisely you'll reap the benefits more than anywhere else.

[fluid dragon]

MU is the fastest, easiest way to gain faction rep and parts for all three battleship types.

[fluid dragon]

Love love LOVE the name. One of my most favorite musicals.

[alpine matrix]

What is MU

[teal crescent]

mirror universe

[rocky wraith]

Remember PM will always work even on 70`s. Chen/cath won’t work past lvl 50 hostiles. PM/E-data is effective for many 51+

[dapper cargo]

What better than pm Janeway ?

[rocky wraith]

Depends on their tiers. At t5data wins. 40%. Jane ends up best at T5

Janeways wins t4 vs t4. Due to officer stats alone

[rocky wraith]

So many options with PM. Depends on what you need. Pike boosts them some

[dull lily]

Chen/Tlaan work upto and including lvl51 hostiles.
Lvl52+ they don't work.

[rocky wraith]

Been so long 😇

[copper glen]

Am stuck at a Q trial. Need to kill a 60B ship with my 2B Ent-D. Am level 60. Tried with PMC, Cerritos and Max fortified with FC Janeway seated and FC Lorca skill set at hostile damage and failed. Any suggestions?

[eternal mauve]

i do this 3 without repair... dont know the problem with a 2b ent D...

maybe research or below deck?

show in yor battlereport... i have a 68b explorer thst have 1 energy and 4 of 5 kinetic weapons... then pmc dosnt work... try pm e data

[silent sigil]

PMC, PMT/PCT, PM anno are the 3 main crews I would try for q trials. PM Spike vs balosians too.

[rocky wraith]

PMC is useless without proper support below deck Period. When someone says try PMC and make sure u have FC Jane….

They assume you are legit below

[silent sigil]

yeah, for q trials it's, what, Hugh Torres neelix Kim chapel pichugh(if not a 0 DMG hostile) etroi odo?

buff enough and you don't even need hugh

[rocky wraith]

Up to the point where PMC is the best way (0 damage)

No buffs!
The process is simple. Equip PMChen. Hit the trial. Swap Chen for Cath/tlann. Hit it again. One is more rounds than the other .
Book em Dano
Max fortify/cerritos/blah blah

Very very important. Only do one at a time. Always max titan. Because if you have any hull damage going into next one, it will count and you will earn less points than you would if you were fresh.
Those points add up and make it faster in the long run.

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-star-wars-gif-10940865116650073754

[late lion]

Cheat code for me is janeway,dr, kirk on the ent, you can punch pretty high on Q trials

[copper glen]

OK thank you.

[limpid pilot]

pike moreau annorax, usual suspects lower decks, buffs if you have to.

[eternal mauve]

annorax works... if you dont 1st round death^^ try 57b with 1.1b sanctus... hardcore dmg kills me in round 1

[silent sigil]

if you have FC Janeway especially, see if PMC or PMT can do a better job of preventing first round death.

[rocky wraith]

Have to ask. What has changed in 4* trials in the last year and a half? Are silents, etc in there now?

[silent sigil]

I don't think anything permanently changed.

silent & especially lately others snuck in and then were removed

I believe it's just fkr, swarm, probes, and acatians

[rocky wraith]

My above plan is sound. All these new officers are nice. But 4* trials. PMC.
If my above method doesn’t work, check FT and below deck. Metreon was our go to. Now some have Slipstream.
This was my exact crew over a year and a half ago.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1209252983548674098/1253488803021062154/IMG_0015.png?ex=682db62b&is=682c64ab&hm=12bcb6206841af341221a2dcc749688761a463cb4f73874c76a52280d56ad7cc&

Or Chen of course. Beat all 3 types with rot

[eternal mauve]

try this crew... ft is 48 and ct 60 full buffed+bit exodmgboost lorca sloan janeway kirk on commandseat (spock seven locutus not but works partial)

round 1 kill the 2 before

[scarlet prism]

Try this crew. in combination with FC Janeway you should be "invincible".

[copper glen]

Ok thank you!!

[eternal mauve]

that dont wotk below 100b

[eternal mauve]

dont work below 100b... after the 100b power of qs test that combo with pmc works... the 60b have more kinetic than energy... pmc works on energy only

[rocky wraith]

Only works on the way to the final 4* lock IF the ship shows no ability. Those are the pure PMC ones. You may see one, then a normal one after. Just pay attention to them

They sneak one in occasionally before finishing the 1b I think it is, then the climb from the 1b to the 6b lock is pure PMC

[eternal mauve]

yes youre right... that way is on all 3 explorer interceptor and battleship the same

[rocky wraith]

Also. If you beat one of the hard ones and have hull damage. And see a easy Pmc one, I recommend going home. Repair. No buff needed on those.
But any hull damage you enter next one with counts against your points. Even though that 2nd one gave no hull damage, it counts against score because you had hull damage when that battle ended.

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-saul-goodman-opinion-legal-bob-odenkirk-gif-14965833122569624261

[scarlet prism]

I guess you didn't look at the SS that I posted then. I still stand by it.

[eternal mauve]

and if you crack the barrier (110b+) you need pmc and neelix below...

[copper glen]

I was able to punch up 2 ships using this crew! Am now facing a 79.2B so will try it in a couple of days when my Titan-A replenishes. Thanks very much and to everyone with the suggestions and comments, much appreciated!

[scarlet prism]

For a little context on how powerful that crew is. Yes, this SS is real. No, I haven't photoshopped it.

[scarlet prism]

Soap 1 uping me 😂 🤣

[rocky wraith]

😂

We need a smaller ship to test. Getting old

[scarlet prism]

How small?

[rocky wraith]

Not sure what’s smaller than a realta

[runic trellis]

my tier one orion corvette is

[rocky wraith]

We need like a once a month special RSLB. Just something fun for a change.
“Deal most damage to any ship using Monaveen”. For instance. Everyone hits what they want. Highest damage in any round counts. Kinda like the other. But must use a certain ship. And deal as much damage as possible in one rd. Against whatever they want

[pallid rune]

What will you do when Syndicate hits Lvl 55?

1. Will you continue to save up Syndicate XP in hope for future use and spend faction store credits on it?
2. Will you ignore syndicate xp then

[meager hull]

Who

[mellow hawk]

fix please 🙏

[balmy temple]

Big warrior scopely 😂😂😂🍷🍷

[celest rock]

?

[dapper cargo]

Yeah I’m confused

[celest rock]

What’s this supposed to show us?

[balmy temple]

Any my ship stuck in warp 😂🤣🤣🍷🍷🍷

Big warrior 😂🤣🤣

NCC can you defend station???

My situation

Only when you have mission can atack station rules

[celest rock]

Ok I only understood one part of that 😂 but i think maybe you’re on the wrong discord

Also that is a pic from an incursion… incursion doesent happen till Friday so I’m confused is that a month old pic?

[balmy temple]

Big strategy 😂😂😂🍷🍷

[sour lantern]

I had that yesterday and is scared the rap out of me but I went home

[balmy temple]

One day 😂😂😂

[terse bridge]

In the Starbase Research tree most bonuses say "assault" is that purely for attack of another alliance Starbase or also for Armadas?
Same for Kira Nerys abilits?

[silent sigil]

assault is just attacking a starbase

[terse bridge]

Then I wonder why she is listed as a recommend officer for aramda crew on scopely website

https://scopely.helpshift.com/hc/en/19-star-trek-fleet-command/faq/7088-for-armadas/#:~:text=Epic Benjamin Sisco - Deep Space 9 (c)%2C Rare Kira Nerys - Deep Space 9%2C and Rare Miles O'Brien  - Deep Space 9

[silent sigil]

that's probably meant to be Changeling Kira, not Kira Nerys. good spot

[wooden kite]

oh yep absolutely

[mild sigil]

Will there be Star wars x star trek Fleet command?

[main anchor]

doesn't works for me 😦

[runic trellis]

needs to be higher

also, you'll only be invincible for the 4* ones, 3* Qs still do a bit of kinetic

[main anchor]

are 4* ones

ok, I will upgrade this ability, My researchs are higher for lvl50

are higher... are completed

[runic trellis]

ok to be more precise: 4* after around 900m assessment you'll be invincible

[main anchor]

and between? 😅

[runic trellis]

smallest ship i've seen get there was a sanctus

[main anchor]

meanwhile*

[runic trellis]

until then you have to punch through with pmt/c/annorax, cerri buffs, Lorcas fist etc

[main anchor]

Pike, Moreau, T'lan?

[runic trellis]

yeah, if the hostile has kinetic weapons

[main anchor]

I can won it with all buffs and cloaked ship. But this without cloak, I failed

but the next

60% of crit. I tested with Yuki, Gaila and Troi but bad

[runic trellis]

you really want a t5 torres and the nova squad damage reduction for those

[main anchor]

who are nova squad?

[runic trellis]

star path

[main anchor]

I missed

[dense relic]

Ia this pure energy or still some kinetic? Crits do on both 0 dmg

[runic trellis]

The ones that do zero damage are energy, the rest kinetic. The 0 damage crits are likely due to star path+t5 Torres

[somber viper]

a star wars one would be pretty sick tbf

the closest we had though was star wars commander which sadly shut down years ago

[mild sigil]

I hope they Ad C-3PO and R2-D2 and other Star wars Characters in Star trek fleet command.

[somber viper]

idk id feel like that'd be rather strange

a crossover like that

[last radish]

I'd be more partial to a Stargate crossover personally...

We do have the galaxy quest crossover but thats logical.

[vernal osprey]

I feel like Orville is the next closest or the ship and crew from the two Black Mirror episodes

[silk magnet]

They never updated list after changling was introduced and kira's abilities changed

[mental flame]

HeLp! What power is required to take out the Lv45 Vanguards?

Ops46. Strongest Ship, 84M protector. Tried Tolra-Toli-Gwen, and Nesmith-Gwen-Toli and am barely doing 5% hull damage.

Is this just not possible at my level?

[inland mural]

I've seen a lot of reports of extreme difficulty for players in your level range trying to beat these. It's probably possible for your cohort's strongest players with buffing, but your 5% seems far off. You can try it again, double buffed + lorca fist + SloanFC + cloaking, using a crew like PB Gwen if you want to see how close you can get.

[soft falcon]

Don't let the protector's power level fool you. It does very little damage outside of its dedicated targets, as all specialty ships do. You want damage for these. Look into your ships and see which has a higher damage rating. Faction ships should have far more damage, even if overall power is less due to lower hull and defense.

[rigid jetty]

Yep, gimmick ship power is generally bad power, especially at low to middling tiers. They have outsized defense or health ratings but very low damage output in comparison to faction ships.

Sure, it lets you punch up on generic hostiles a lot because it can soak up more damage and you can usually crew to minimize damage taken, but against newer hostiles and against armada targets they just can’t put enough damage on target to do anything worthwhile.

They’re a bad crutch small ops use to abuse the warp range and think they’re getting better rewards on group armadas where they end up being 5% or less of the power in the group, not realizing if they just flew armadas with their faction ships and hit appropriate targets with people/ships in their size range they’d get more loot, and maybe learn something about crewing, what perks work well together without having officer group synergies, and so on.

[indigo crescent]

That is false

Doesn't matter your ship size starter chests are always juicy

The higher the better 100000000% of the time

If you can reach to start higher you should or your depriving yourself of loot

That's all assuming you have someone around to blast it for you

For my peeps I am said boogeyman

Raw armada cargo loot is abismal at best especially when hitting within up and coming faction ships which reach considerably lower than stuff like the voyager which has extra loot research for armadas

[rugged kiln]

Do Hurak epics have a third weapon that fires in round one?? Tryjng to lower my dmg slightly so that my third weapkn fires, but if they also have a third weapon I will die

[rigid jetty]

Not compared to some of the shared loot drops on various things, especially fkr armadas.

People hitting a 52 mada with their faction ship without gimmick range help and ships close to size are going to get far better loot than popping a 60 and getting swamped out with only 3-5% of the power in the group because of a warp gimmick ship like an nx.

Blanket statements are a fools folly.

[dull lily]

Can also just get a whale to carry a lvl60 fkr armada with a G3 ship.

[indigo crescent]

That's what I do

I use my baby jelly for most armadas up to lvl 39 past that it's my saladin

They don't lose

[short granite]

No win scenario is possible

[dull lily]

Yeah thats called giving up.

[short granite]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-whats-called-a-no-win-situation-zareh-star-trek-discovery-were-doomed-were-toast-gif-21641910

[dire bridge]

Could not disagree more!

[dire bridge]

Exactly! It’s how most lower ops get ahead. There is nothing worse then u being an Ops< 38 and spending your hard earned rare and epic directives and have a way overpowered alliance member join your armada and then they get all the loot. They can negate that once ops 38, deep space unlocked, Voyager etc and hitting g4 / g5 armadas for the starter chest. Most people aren’t selfish and are happy to help u kill said armada and you hope that once the player is higher ops that they do the same in return.. that’s how my alliance plays it anyway

[dire bridge]

Only issue is most ppl are not smart so they send their most powerful ship to a low armada which helps no one. I’m ops 55, I’ll always help ppl in my alliance kill whatever is best so they get the loot they need. I’m guessing everyone that hits Xindi rare armadas might need a bit of help initially? You may have, who knows.

[hot peak]

armada ninja eviscerator has shown me that damage dealt affects armada loot not ships power. test siskoed eviscerator. fkr madas not specialty ones

captain vemet negates augment exiles death ray. still need some shield piercing n iso defense but this is the way to get to augment superior faster n safer ae surveys are the best source of epic hijacked splicers(augment credits) and rep

[trim goblet]

Might want to test again. Correctly this time smh

[hot peak]

What crew did you use? Make sure to use O'Brien over changeling kira. I never use full synergy I use Demarco but it works good with seven too or anything to support it's iso damage

[inland mural]

Use a sarco, and ask an alliance member to duo with you using a smaller power ship, but higher damage output.

[runic trellis]

i usually use a small ship to help other players with armadas. Sometimes my ship kills the mada before they could even shoot, yet they still gain loot. Much more than if i would use a bigger ship

[pseudo plinth]

So is this the area to find trivia answers?

[timber bison]

#💫-event-information

[unreal bear]

Those are for the first one through five... We need 6 to 10.

[inland mural]

The very last message in the channel has the answers to all 10 questions.

[waxen bronze]

I just hit syndicate 55, but the cost to get to 56 seems crazy high. Is it designed to take 5-6 times longer to get to the next tier or am I missing something? None of my pulls seem like they increased to match the much higher tiering requirements.

[silent sigil]

much as 46-55 was slower than 35-45, and then we got a bunch of things to make it go faster, 56+ is once again slow because they want to be able to, first, sell syndicate xp packs again, and later, introduce sources of syndicate XP that are big enough to chase without blowing through levels in days

[waxen bronze]

Ok just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Thanks for clarifying!

[silent sigil]

the daily xp pull becomes pretty significant fwiw, if you have both (f2p) primes

I'm getting iirc 210k from that alone, or so

[waxen bronze]

Which two primes?

I’m getting about 54k

[silent sigil]

prime syndicate spike in station (costs dolamide) and prime syndicate XP in galaxy (particles in the tournament store)

[waxen bronze]

Hmmmm….i must be missing something else…I’m DEFINITELY not getting 200k+ from my daily pull…

[silent sigil]

hm. I'd check again tomorrow, afik it's just those+ syndicate level that affect it. the jump is at syndicate 55, so it'd be recent.

[waxen bronze]

Ohhhhh ok. I literally just moved up to 55 so hopefully I get a nice surprise in the am lol! Thanks for the help!

[waxen bronze]

You were right! Thanks again!

[west compass]

Whats the easiest way to get the resource for the spike research

[silent sigil]

dolamide is in the s31 faction store (waves), ex-borg store in the g4/5/6 megachests (nx-01), some event stores, and as a one time source in the voyager field training.

[surreal pawn]

??? How do I get those primes f2p?

[lyric hill]

the alliance tournament store has the particles for one, and the other is with dolamide

[obtuse zodiac]

Can someone advise which CT they think is better to invest in? I'm divided between the Chrono Deflector and the Godsend. I ahve a bunch of CT materials I want to use for today's event. I've already got the Chrono Deflector at level 34 right now I think, and my Godsend is pretty low.

[dull lily]

Chrono is awesome. I use my Chrono a lot.

[obtuse zodiac]

Just finished maxxing it out

[indigo crescent]

Yikes

[indigo crescent]

Same on my ent d

[dull lily]

Fortunately CT is really cheap to move around, so I move my chrono all over the place depending on what im doing.

[indigo crescent]

I leave my pvp tech on my ent and I swap my CT for the unimatrix shielding when I do pvp and the chrono when I'm doing pve

My rot gets the cascade mirror or when I do pvp the q cannon which I need to max out still (rev refinery didn't give me that til abiut a month ago and the temporal conduit a couple weeks ago so those both need some work

[rich sky]

Seems to work…. Is there a better crew for this?

[cedar escarp]

Ditch Spock. The Enterprise will regen shields far more than spock will ever do.

Hence the shield health on your screenshot

Compare that to your normal shield health

Enemy had khan, so you can sub in Pon for spock if you have them

But overall, good kill

[surreal pawn]

If you have lorca, put lorca as cap and Kirk as just an officer

[rich sky]

ok nice, trying lorca and pon soon

[rich sky]

Could work out something better for my valdore….. but what?

[celest rock]

Anything 😂

[rich sky]

this crew works better than the enty crew lol, problem ist i dont have the su crew

[surreal pawn]

you looking for a PvP crew?

[mild sigil]

USS Applepies and USS Enterprise vs TOS Cylon basestars

[rich sky]

switching to tos kirk and uhura now but this definitly works lol

[runic trellis]

get rid of spock, he's useless on the standard ent (and the later ones due to different reasons)

[lament gull]

Max Rom and Max Dukat hitting stations, 450% extra shots? 🤔

how is anyone to defend against that?

[inland mural]

I was hitting a 70's station the other day in incursions and his guns were hitting 22B damage into the hull after reductions. Seemed like it would be pretty difficult to break into that.

[runic trellis]

At least for me, anything that's is able to get a shot out against my base will nuke any ship i have at home.The extra shots only change how "easy" it is to crack whales

[lament gull]

Well this was last incursions 🙈

Dukat adding 300% more shots on that i find unstoppable

[runic trellis]

that looks like someone without anti rom and really bad research😬

[inland mural]

A full mining defense suggests to me they don't care about defending. I'm sure it'll play out differently with someone pvp-focused.

If you still have the battle log, let me know how much the guns were critting you for.

[runic trellis]

might actually be that the turrets weren't repaired. Considering one turret can one shot a 66 cube, and 6 turrets usually fire i kind of doubt a rotarran would survive that

[inland mural]

There are a lot of things wrong with that fight and certainly not indicative of a 70 who really doesn't want to let you into his base.

[runic trellis]

this was the damage my koskarri did to a normal 70 in round one

[silent sigil]

for sure, i've one cracked an ops 67 through all ships home and lost to ops 62's the next day. it's extremely dependent on ships, platforms, officers, research, etc

The above is extremely correct in that, currently, it can be challenging or impossible to survive the opening shots from a base to start to damage them, given sufficient research, officers, building levels, ships, and such.

Actually impossibility is - if ever reachable - the place for the biggest players in existence and thus temporary

[timber bison]

yeah, during incursions 2 shotted a 69 with full miners docked, with an 18b cube. while i've had 60s make me bounce.

[silent sigil]

but you can certainly make it far easier; FC Lorca and Kras to stop free rounds (and repairing your defense platforms which fundamentally I just don't believe 6 were shooting that rotarran if any) are all vital

[lament gull]

No I only took the 2 screenshots.
He ported next to my base and hit me so i hit him back and took them while i fell over laughing

but still 450% shots against bases seems game breaking

[silent sigil]

it's really not.
lemme clarify two important parts of station combat:

• station shoots first in round 1 barring any delays (rom/prime)
• a weapon that fires in a round will fire all of its shots at the same target that round, even if the target is already dead

[dull lily]

That ops67 is an ops64 base.

[silent sigil]

the first thing presents a very high barrier to entry; you must survive an initial onslaught to do damage

the second means that extra shots do not get you through the serious limiter of one cracking faster (8 ships+ 6 platforms = 14 weapons, minimum)

having big ships in station defense only matters if they can absorb more than one entire weapon before dying, or if their damage output is meaningful

[fresh spire]

That’s why you need rom/prime

[silent sigil]

wellll
Yes, but those don't work if they have the counters

[rich sky]

Hehe

[runic trellis]

The crew is good, but that’s not a real enemy 😅

[rich sky]

What’s an enemy?

[runic trellis]

Someone who is geared for PvP, with PvP crew, FCs etc

[rich sky]

Let me look in arenas tomorrow

[ripe plank]

PvP crew always wins vs PvE crew usually

[wicked forge]

How is defined whether someone is attacking or defending on pvp if both click the button

[chrome coral]

Last person who hit the attack button is the attacker

[wicked loom]

I’m at ops 35 and haven’t maxed my baby Franklin yet. If I go to 36, will the swarm dailies go up in difficulty? I can hit lvl 32s no problem, but 35s are a challenge.

[wicked loom]

Found a chart and it looks like the 32s will still be needed for the first 3 dailies

[runic trellis]

Ignore the franklins, they’re useless, if you can’t kill the next level swarms with your main ship you shouldn’t ops up

[rich sky]

I could still do my dailies with lvl 32 swarms lol

[mighty pulsar]

i can kill lvl 37s swarms with my ent (t8) using morale crew and it barely takes any damage. i haven't used the frank since about ops 31 when i maxed it

[mild sigil]

When will there be Star wars x Star trek Fleet command? I am so Impatient!

[dull lily]

When either Disney buys Star trek or when Paramount buys star wars.

[winter mountain]

the first is plausible 😂 but not the otherway around.

[safe grove]

Hopefully long after I’m dead.. and preferably significantly decomposed, enough to stop me turning in my grave.
In fact, to avoid specifically the risk of this, I’ve just this moment decided to opt for cremation and my ashes being shot into space to be both incapable of turning in said grave, but also far enough away that the news of this never even reaches my ashes…

[rich sky]

Ummm was it his bad attacking? How do things like this happen?

[edgy wind]

Bad crewing, some people still think that the borg crew is good

[rich sky]

Is the mirror crew better than the morale crew for the enty? I don’t have Kira yet but I have su pic and data

And which crew should I use for my valdore? Looks like freeman or su crew or what else?

[rich sky]

I mean if 5 is max and you have good reduction it would maybe work

[terse bridge]

got any other mirror crew? Quasi is mirror and also works nice, due to having apex shred

[rich sky]

Ummm sadly I don’t think so, think from left to right —> su data, su Picard and then quasi? Or should I go for Kira first?

[terse bridge]

was just suggesting if you had any other MU officers... if you only got the two, then yeah go for the third classic MU officer 🙂

But MU Picard and Data are strong early pvp crew already, expecially if you got below deck officers to match as well... you can add a different pvp officer for 3rd bridge officer

Like Khan

[rich sky]

Ok, ima try him or maybe someone different

[terse bridge]

MU Picard + MU Data + Khan
Below: Borg Queen, Icheb, DeMarco, 7/9, S31 Georgio,...

[rich sky]

Would Dezoc be good bc of the Borg Queen?

[terse bridge]

you already have MU Data that applies assimilate

[rich sky]

That’s the best I can get

[dusty wyvern]

Does anyone know where I can find the Scoring Caps vs OPs level for the TC Trailblazer event?

[hot peak]

i dont have that one can you share a screenshot? sometimes you can scroll down in the text in the middle

[wind cloud]

Where can I see how much Apex-barriere my ships have and how much Apex-shredder I can apply?

This whole Apex-concept is completely intransparent 😡

[dense relic]

Maybe you can see it with next.spocks.club and syncing your progress

[unborn ingot]

Lazy.

[ripe plank]

apex in pve probably not much, shred in pve - s31 gg, quasi, the godsend (CT)

[celest thorn]

Apex shredding is also a P1 away teams research node.

[fringe ether]

You could start an attack vs Hostile (e.g. Xindi-Aquatic or so) with couple of Rounds and then have a look into the Battlelog.

• It doesn't say your Apex Barrier or Shred as a value, but it does say that you have blocked so and so much damage with the Apex

[winged cairn]

My Strategy … no Money für Bull💩

[severe crag]

We All need
Anti-Faction Exocomps for FRK
That turn's Player's "" Hostile "" for 3/5 Hours so we all can Grind during the Night

[rich sky]

That’s the best suggestion I’ve heard in a month

Would also be useful for big players

[shy bloom]

Post this in suggestions... then EVERYONE go over and upvote it! I agree with TriSlave... AWESOME suggestion.

[severe crag]

Thanks 👍

You would have to sort the hazard thing out by yourself, or you could do hazard tasks afk

[mellow plover]

new g6 armadas have 20k apex barrier....what even provides shred vs armadas? There is new research for it but far down tree!

[rich sky]

either research or like nothing i guess lol

[mellow plover]

@[SEC]TriSlave what research outside of the Maverick tree gives any apex shred? It will take a long time to reach the research in the Maverick tree

[rich sky]

Huh good question, I can’t help with that sorry. Maybe mirror or other primes

[lyric hill]

there's apex shred in the away teams research

[shy bloom]

Fairly new level 63 player with 2 low tier G6 ships and a mid/high G5 epic. I can kill 2 level 58 Borg Conqueror Solo's per hull with my 3 best ships unbuffed. What is the chance that I can take a 60 with all 3 ships max fortified with a defiant and ceritos buff on 2 of them? Don't want to risk the directives if it is hopeless since I am hanging by my fingernails on to the top 5 slot, but if there is a good chance, I might risk it.

[tall shadow]

u prolly need 2 g5 epic maxed and t4-t6 63uc... if u have the borg cube tiered, it will prolly do better than ur t4 63uc ship

[maiden raptor]

Excelsior ship research has some pve stuff.

[shy bloom]

Killed 3 level 60's on one hull with T7 Negvar, T5 Akira and T12 Enty D. All triple buffed with 700% worth of Armada damage exos (300% personal and 400% alliance). Poofed on the 4th. 3 best armada crews (Sisko, Chakotay, Tolra), and with the extra spots on the Enty's below deck took all 3 Voyager buff crew.

[edgy echo]

<@&509691205798592532>

[rigid jetty]

Chakotay is not one of the best armada crews, when he came out he was known as the trit cost increase officer for a reason.

[heady apex]

I asked AI for strategy advice for the game based on all the moving goal posts Scopely has been employing.

I guess a bunch of my STFC friends came across the same strategy.

[pine ingot]

global thermal nuclear war is a whole different game not tied to a super computer running defence strategy's,,, good film that war games

[wicked loom]

Does the Leslie nerf affect the cheese crew for Xindi levels near 40? I thought it said he still worked below 70, but I can no longer kill lvl 40 Xindi battleships. Before I could kill 4 or 5.

[celest rock]

He no longer works above 51

[timber bison]

The 10 round cap is ignored

[unique steppe]

I progressed in ops based on killing vger orions, and now with the the Leslie nerf I can no longer kill them. That's some real bull 💩

[echo citrus]

Does anyone know in a 61 duo if the team kills all the 61s in wave 1 but let’s the Venari through, then in wave 2 kills the repair drones and the 61s and lets the 62s through can the central entity survive?

[tall shadow]

each venari hit counts 5 to the central... U must likely need to kill all hostiles + venari in the first 3 waves... last wave I think u need to kill at least 4 venari and all other hostiles

[craggy carbon]

Or not do duos and ignore the academy completely like most other people

[dusky carbon]

I would engage if I could. Im a 68 with a level 5 building. To start the loop Id need to spend a week only killing hostiles, so thats a NO GO to me... But if you can go for it...

[echo citrus]

That’s great strategy…insert eye roll

[near plover]

Should I aim for all three g6 rare FKR mining ships? How high should I level them up?

(currently ops 66)

[marble pulsar]

You will need a couple, as you go to G7, so do the early G7 mining. It is up to you if you want to have 1 of each type, or several of the same. At that point the ship ability for bonus material mining is not that huge. But if you plan to mine G6 materials then you might need various hazard resistances, so having them from different factions can be nice.
For me, I have built 4 Divitae, and it worked fine too.

[near plover]

food for thought. thank you! how hight do you level them up?

[marble pulsar]

I have one higher tier, around T11, and rest is currently T6. But in G6, having them T2-T4 is enough. I often levelled them when I needed to finish a milestone on some material spend event and doing a building would be too much points overspent.

[brisk hawk]

It's really about the warp range on them. 1600 warp range should be enough to reach the level 72 systems in the veil & Margins. 1550 will reach the level 71 systems.

[near plover]

finally, after 3 weeks or so, finished the vor'cha scrapping

[lament gull]

not worth it was it

[near plover]

A tad bit disappointed. Was hoping for better G6 output. Oh well.
