[fallow sorrel]

just letting him know his options. you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink 😛

[little violet]

I am all in on Eviscerator parts

Every tournament and every event store

[fallow sorrel]

AT store was the best place to source them

[sharp flume]

Evening do we have a date for territory reset?

[opal meadow]

22nd

[modest echo]

22nd

[little violet]

waiting for AT to start to tier and get a triple claim 😄

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/ducks-duck-baby-duck-cute-out-of-balance-gif-17382431

[little violet]

Hopefully tier 14 soon then I am done with getting parts

[fallow sorrel]

GS31 says no! you need more parts

[little violet]

Getting that to tier 6 is not as bad as the eviscerator

[ornate knot]

SHHHHH don’t tell them

[little violet]

Nothing they can do about it 😛

[ornate knot]

I’ve done the same for the NX-01 🤫

[little violet]

will get to about half the parts I need to tier from the AT and event store

[fallow sorrel]

dont think that's enough for a whole tier up even with 5 pulls from AT?

[little violet]

It isn't

[fallow sorrel]

so only double pull? since cooldown is now 8 or 9 days. impossible to triple pull

[little violet]

Will be a triple because I have already pulled the event store. That will reset. AT pull before tier and get another there as well

So 3x

I will be at about 5m parts so I will need only 3mish to hit tier 14

[solemn plaza]

😏

[little violet]

what is that from?

[solemn plaza]

"The best source of ship parts"

[little violet]

The Gs-31?

[solemn plaza]

Yeah

[little violet]

Wow that is a lot

[fallow sorrel]

lol

[solemn plaza]

Take me 52 days to max a Tribune

[fallow sorrel]

apples and oranges

[little violet]

Yours must be tier 6+

[fallow sorrel]

havent bought it

[little violet]

Meant that for Soap

[solemn plaza]

T5

I am also ops56. I can with minimal effort get ~30k credits per faction per day.

[little violet]

That sounds about right

[solemn plaza]

Get almost 10k just from the message exchange.

That'll increase again tomorrow though.

[little violet]

That has to be with the DTI favor tho

[solemn plaza]

Yup

But why wouldn't you work towards getting the DTI favour if you need credits.

[little violet]

Was the first thing I did when I had the rep 😛

[solemn plaza]

I also have the Prime faction event rewards, which I got F2P from NESA, so each daily event give almost 5k credits too

[little violet]

I am working on that now too

Didn't think it was that big a boost till I thought about when I get from the dailies

[solemn plaza]

There's also this which is nice.

[little violet]

From mirror?

[solemn plaza]

Yeah lvl60 MU with Ano

[little violet]

That is more than I get without annorax on the 68's

[solemn plaza]

I have Ano full synergy. Can get about 160 kills per run.

Normally get 12-15k per faction per run.

And also like 1b rep give or take a few hundred mill

[solemn plaza]

I'm also able to just buy 11,380 credits from DTI cuz of Rela.

So could get like an easy 40k ish credits a day

[little violet]

I stopped getting those so I could focus on the favors

[solemn plaza]

Have most of the good favours maxed

Been pulling Strand daily.

[solemn plaza]

Might start pulling seska too lol. Or just save up credits for other officers.

[vernal jungle]

all that matters in 68s is rep if you need it and 15 hour sig speed ups

[little violet]

Rep is the only thing I hit them for 😛

[vernal jungle]

oh you gonna need those speed ups.....

[little violet]

Not hurting for credits and speed ups are not a big deal for me right now. I have no plans on moving ops for a minute

[vernal jungle]

im halfway in transition from 66 to 70. burned through 1.5 years worth of speed ups

and currently farming 68s to finish 70 this weekend

[little violet]

I am going to catch up all my docks, turrets, lab and gens/vaults

All that after I hit tier 9 on my velox.. Which I am close to now

Cube tiers will come first tho

[opal meadow]

What server you on?

[vernal jungle]

91. i was forced there in merger

[subtle vortex]

I can't collect any of my refinery pulls get an error saying they are out of sync but I haven't pulled them yet

Nevermind started working now 🤷

[vernal jungle]

blame it on lag, i always do

[solemn plaza]

G6 rep is insane. Almost hit my next faction rep level though. And then it'll be a long while before I hit the one after.

[vernal jungle]

it gets easier as your cube gets bigger. by the time i maxed rep i was gaining 18-20 bil/hour in mirror romulus

[solemn plaza]

My cube is nowhere close to being used for MU.

[vernal jungle]

t14 cube is game changing and can be gotten at ops 63

[opal meadow]

i can only kill 140 a trip in Romulus 😦

[solemn plaza]

I'm only ops56 😬

[opal meadow]

Yes, if you waste RSS on getting ship made of paper to T9

[vernal jungle]

thats the whole point of getting your cube to t14 so you dont have useless ship

[opal meadow]

tiering a G6 Uncommon to T9 is nuts, may as well use the RSS to get to 66 for a rare, G5 Epics will get you there easy

[solemn plaza]

Sitting here only having a Sanctus 😂😬

[vernal jungle]

except then life sux getting the rep on the far end and slapped around in arenas on top of ability actually reach fkr solos to sustain multiple pulls

[vernal jungle]

there is no problem with that at 56. enjoy all of g5 that you can. g5 is easiest the most fun grade to be in the game

[dull mason]

Well I can finally build the k't'inga
I grinded all the BP's
I only need a few bo'chor

[vernal jungle]

i once ground out a korinar a long time ago. parts of my soul are still gone from doing that

[idle crater]

Can someone let me know if there was any difference in the contents between the upgrade pack brought for gs31 before the compensation and those who brought it afterwards? What's was different with the pack content?

[vernal jungle]

extra parts

can anyone confirm the whispers bonus pack is one time buy for all the milestones?

[idle crater]

Thanks was it different for different player levels ? The reason I ask is I brought the upgrade pack after the pack change others I know brought it before and their gs 31 is higher than mine and I've done max pulls since launch

[vernal jungle]

there was less parts and wasnt meeting the target to reach tier wise so they added more

[solemn plaza]

Yup 56 is the last great camp spot. Life is good at 56.

[idle crater]

Thank what was the tier it was meant to reach appreciation for the help

[solemn plaza]

It is.

Per CM and Mods.

[vernal jungle]

thanks

[solemn plaza]

The original pack should have got people to T5.

The current pack will get you to T4 plus few components.

[vernal jungle]

i think the announcement said t5

[little violet]

It was tier 5

[idle crater]

Thanks for clarifying my main complaint with this now is that scopely are delivering a back hand compensation pack to give a small number of players a leap forward on others who have paid the same price

They should surely level this out for anyone who brought the pack not just those who brought it under the wrong name

[steep aspen]

scopely had a choice when their tier 5 pack didn't get the ship to tier 5, to change the name of the pack and compensate those that bought it, or to change the contents of the pack so that the name was accurate. They went with the less customer friendly option

[idle crater]

Absolutely trying to do right by not doing right as far as I'm concerned.

[violet mica]

The ship is such a turkey any way - at t7 you can’t finish an elite solo 50 as an ops 59

Why give an event that expects you to do so?

[idle crater]

I can finish a 50s with my now tier 5 and ops 58

I still want the same compensation as the other tho think more noise around this is needed

[violet mica]

A 50 elite solo?

Regular solo is no issue

[indigo rain]

I can't even anymore... come on man

[idle crater]

Yes what sort of critical hits you getting ?

[solemn plaza]

Cant beam the lvl55 reavers until G6 which is really annoying.

[violet mica]

It’s just those last six 55s I can’t kill

As far as critical hits where would I look for that?

[solemn plaza]

Battle report.

[violet mica]

I tried cerritos and max fort by the way to bo avail

[idle crater]

Iso and crits will get you there with a bit of luck and good crews

[violet mica]

It was two days ago, so I have to wait till I do it agin

[solemn plaza]

As long as you have good Crit floor.
And the reaver mitigate 96% of iso dmg.

[idle crater]

Techs a giver if ya negate ys research your always gonna struggle to punch

[violet mica]

I have lots of research done

Not every level of crit in section 31 though

[idle crater]

What crew you running on main

[little violet]

Kinda figured they would make him the most common drop

[rain charm]

What is the date for TC reset?

[violet mica]

Third pic is the gs31, first is relativity second is the sanctus

[little violet]

3b relativity

[violet mica]

Still gets wiped out by those last six reavers

[rain charm]

TC reset?

[little violet]

On what lvl wave?

[idle crater]

Run Picard bev Ann on your GS 31

[violet mica]

5

[little violet]

Picard bev annorax or pike moreau annorax is better

[solemn plaza]

April 22nd

[rain charm]

Thanks...

[steep aspen]

I can't imagine boimler or mariner are doing much on that relativity, might be better to have some apex shred on your biggest ship

[violet mica]

I’ve got all the shred research done for those ships too

[noble basalt]

hello

[solemn plaza]

Having Lorca and BLT on the same ship is also no good.

[noble basalt]

can i join the same server with my friend in game ?

[steep aspen]

if it was me, I'd move quasi and chapel to the relativity, your mileage may vary

[violet mica]

I need a full critique of my crewing - I very much appreciate this

[steep aspen]

and maybe hugh too

[solemn plaza]

Elite wave hostiles will also crit floor you. So having ld crit dmg officers is also pretty pointless.

[little violet]

Which makes the rot useless

[solemn plaza]

Want to put HB on every ship if you can.

[little violet]

HB morale is my thing

Would like to do buring but there not enough slots on the bridge

[compact storm]

Hello!

[violet mica]

This helps a lot. Thank you. Still max fort the rel and gs?

[steep aspen]

any word on the surprise event currency spend events? will there be more?

[compact storm]

You know about as much as we mods know. We find out when you guys do. So far, nothing else is on the schedule outside of what was announced, but that could always change.

[lapis crystal]

Solo Waves have weird bug that even though killing 5x 6 hostiles sometimes the central thing loses hp. So weird when it just shows animated explosion and number drops when nothing went through.

Has happened twice now and checking log shows everything killed.

[little violet]

that was supposed to be fixed in the patch notes 🤷

[lapis crystal]

I still won both bugged ones, so doesn't matter now.

[strong hamlet]

Had just the same bug

[lapis crystal]

I'll check if my version isn't the latest

[lapis crystal]

Aha, there was an update I hadn't done. Thanks, hopefully that fixed it.

[solemn plaza]

You have both Quasi and S31 Gigi on the GS-31?

[violet mica]

I’ll be changing these crews around

But yes, that’s how it was when I last ran it

[solemn plaza]

Yeah don't do that. GS-31 has built in Apex shred. Can get more use of those officers on other ships.

[violet mica]

So far I have Picard, Bev and Annor on GS31 with BLT LD (trying to find more good officers to put down there)

[solemn plaza]

Pelia

Kim

[violet mica]

Looking at MBenga, SNW Kirk, and Pike on Rel with Laliari, Both Hughs, Quasi, Chapel and Pelia LD

Sorry, Mbenga, SNW Kirk and S31 Georgiou (for Apex Shred) on rel

[solemn plaza]

I don't get why the Relativity? Is it just a case of ship with big number so it should do better?

[violet mica]

My biggest ship

[solemn plaza]

Unless your faction ships are abysmal, you'll likely get better result with them.

[violet mica]

Besides the Sanctus, nothing else is closed

close

Crozier is 750M power

[little violet]

His relativity is 6x the size of his sanctus

[violet mica]

lol

Well, maybe double

[little violet]

Screenshot showed 3b power

[solemn plaza]

Think the sanctus is the 1.7B ship

Having a 1.7B Sanctus at ops 59 is also kinda nuts, in a good way.

[little violet]

Oh well that ship should do better than the relativity lol

1.7b means it is maxed.. Mine not even that big....

[violet mica]

Yes, it is rel, sanctus, GS31

[solemn plaza]

That's a very big Sanctus.

[violet mica]

My newest stab at crewsw

[violet mica]

Nice!

[solemn plaza]

TNG Picard. Not Ent-E Picard.

[violet mica]

Ah, ok

[little violet]

It does have three levels, but still 1.7b is bigger than mine lol

[little violet]

Must be TC bonus

[violet mica]

I have maxed syndicate - it helps a lot with ship power

[little violet]

Idk how mine numbers are so low. I have all the hull and shield primes that are not paywalled...plus pretty much max G3-G5 research

has to be TC bonus

[solemn plaza]

Does this make you feel better.

Mines tiny

[little violet]

No 😛

[violet mica]

Any other glaring problems with those crews? If not, I'm going to give it a go

With max fort also, and FC Lorca on the last round

[lapis crystal]

I think the latest update fixed the bug for me. Intentionally let hostiles 2 times in contact with central thingy while killed them and now the hp didn't drop.

[violet mica]

And maybe a cerritos boost or two

[little violet]

The 50's are easy for me, but the 60 are ridiculous

[solemn plaza]

I mean SNW James Kirk isn't really going to do all that much.

[violet mica]

Is there a good alternative?

[little violet]

Only because I don't have two trustworth ships to use...

[violet mica]

Lorca?

Or maybe SNW Pike?

[little violet]

I don't like snw mbenga

[solemn plaza]

I use Spike/Una/S31 gigi

[little violet]

He kinda sucks

[violet mica]

I can certainly give it a go with that crew

[solemn plaza]

Wave hostiles are primarily Iso dmg. Can stick Paris below decks to catch mitigation if you need to.

[warm root]

😭😭 I'm trying to double faction grind

[solemn plaza]

I'm hoping that once I level all my artifacts in 11 days it'll push close or over to 1B

[lapis crystal]

While Shred officers are better than nothing if favors are lvl 5 I don't find S31 GG being a good option on bridge. More valuable ones available

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/kjh-gif-3974677598476429036

[solemn plaza]

Depends on tier.

I get use out of mine.

[warm root]

Romulan missions

[little violet]

S31 GG don't help me at all

[waxen kindle]

Does anyone else hate the new reward/material claim animations? Cuz I do.

[little violet]

You can turn it off

I would like it if they made them bigger on the screen... SO you can see what you are getting

[lapis crystal]

Mine is T3, so not highest but not lowest either. Have had better results by going for Apex, HB and iso. My base iso and extras for it are quite high though

[waxen kindle]

Where an item just kinda appears on the screen for a second and flys away?

[little violet]

Yeah, in the General tab of settings there is an option to turn it off

[waxen kindle]

I can go back to original style? Hurray!

[solemn plaza]

Between favours and gigi being over 200% shred is pretty nice.

Thr elite waves have an insane amount of apex and also have insane iso stats(both dmg and mitigation)

[little violet]

The new style is better... If you can see what the heck you are getting instead of the tiny icons with no details

Also, if you are getting alot of items.. the 2 secs they are on the screen is not enough

[warm root]

Why did they remove the recruit animation?

[lapis crystal]

Yes, I have studied the logs. I can do wave 3 from 60E but that needs boosts. 50E goes without.

[little violet]

Do you really want to watch a box shake for 10 secs.... to see what officers are coming out...

[waxen kindle]

Idk I preferred the original so I could see what I was getting/rarity.
This morning parts and mats were flying by with no colour coded rarity- I knew I was getting rare parts because there were three…

[warm root]

But I don't even know who I get

[idle crater]

Are there any players on who are part of VIP ?

[waxen kindle]

Aw heck no. But I want that window to pop up, showing what I got.

[waxen kindle]

One hostile chest opened up and I think I got a ship BP, but lord knows what it was…

[little violet]

Then turn off disable frequent game animations...

Problem solved

[waxen kindle]

Ugh. Then comes the rest of them…. No happy medium.
Change for the sake of change torques me- no one asked for this.

[little violet]

There should be a tab for each option... But scopely was to lazy and threw them all into one switch

Hopefully the community mod makes a script for it

[waxen kindle]

Or if you whales out there make enough of a stink they’ll roll it back!

[violet mica]

Thank you, @solemn plaza , @little violet , @idle crater !!! Just beat wave 5! The relativity was barely scratched, the sanctus got wiped out, but the the GS31 survived as well

Might try it with no max fort next

[idle crater]

No worries 👍

[little violet]

I don't buff my waves, but I can do the 50 no problem

[idle crater]

Maybe you can help me make some noise about everyone who punched the upgrade pack getting the compensation

[violet mica]

Going to try it again with no buffs to see what happens

[little violet]

Try to cerritos my rot, but it still dies on wave 4

[idle crater]

Not just the lucky ones who brought under the wrong tag

[little violet]

Going to wait till tomorrow to see if there more wave events before I spend my start directives

[silver parcel]

i can make it through half of wave 4, if i had the prime, i'd be able to beat it

[lapis crystal]

I think when I get Temporal Conduit I just unlocked to high tier I can free 1 hb officer bridge slot. Then I can put S31 GG on that.

Calculated that T3 GG (70%) gives 23,5% improvement over 150% Shred favor alone for those 168k Apex ones. So it's good but not worth losing breach. My effective iso ends up around 1k% or more, so that makes boosting iso with T5 E Data or T4 E Pic also a, strong option.

[little violet]

what prime?

The add more hits to the center?

[silver parcel]

yes

[little violet]

Meh that should be free to play sourced by now

[violet mica]

Does that add hits to center prime actually work on solos too?

[little violet]

Soon as a prime is released it should also have a trickle sourced particle

The people who are going to buy it will do so .... Why make us wait two years and then 4 months of trickle sourcing...

[split quarry]

Yep

[little violet]

prime example here

[solemn plaza]

If you didn't buy the pack when it specifically said it was enough to get you to T5 then you won't get any compensation.

[lapis crystal]

Oh, I didn't know it works on solos. That's huge +67% boost to hp there

[idle crater]

Hey yes I'm aware I'm not getting compensation scopely have done a good job at reiterating that but they are also in turn creating an unfair advantage boosting those that did for there own error so in an slb for example players benefiting from the compo will have an unfair advantage over those that didn't

The fact is they have dug a hole and they aren't filling it fairly doesn't matter how you spin it

[solemn plaza]

So compensating people that didn't get what was advertised, and they paid for is bad because you didn't get the extra despite it not being advertised in the pack you bought?

[idle crater]

Incorrect I'm saying everyone who brought 1 upgrade pack should be treated evenly at this point and scopely should make that happen because for example I would have brought that pack if I had been able to get on between the error Period and so undoubtedly would other people however simply by missing there error window the rest of us are now behind others for no difference in cost

[ember ginkgo]

So are you saying something is missing or an added bonus due to events at the time?

[flint ruin]

Did they break the New Additions tab…?

Nope.

[idle crater]

Read up

[flint ruin]

They broke the entire event store…🤦‍♂️

[solemn plaza]

When the enhanced upgrade pack 1st came out it said it would give enough parts to T5 the new ship and well it didn't, so they quickly changed the description on the pack, and then compensated the people that bought the pack while it was advertised as T5.

[idle crater]

Giving an advantage to those who brought it during the error window and less to those who didn't

But all paid the same price

[solemn plaza]

And there's another pack with even less than the current enhanced pack that's also the same price. So should all those people who buy that also get extra stuff too?

(And yes i also think it's stupid having 3 packs at the same price with 3 different amounts of the same stuff.)

[idle crater]

Kinda of answering your own question here then 😂😂 yes scopely have ultimately dropped the ball not the players they've got the store all wrong and it's creating an unfair split

My point is fairness for everyone .. everyone who paid £99.99 for the pack should all be at the same point

[solemn plaza]

Should they also comp everyone as the alb/slb for spending ESC is also unfair since everyone who didn't buy the new ship has less access to ESC.

[idle crater]

No because they have made the decision to not buy the ship and upgrade pack so that's irrelevant as they are choosing to not be on the same playing field.

[flint ruin]

How long have you been in the game…?

[idle crater]

To long 😂

[solemn plaza]

Ok but it's still unfair. Anything that has any form of paid mechanic will always be unfair.
Someone could have got the comp and then still lose because someone else bought 2 packs rather than just 1.

[idle crater]

Your not really making a valid argument for my point though I appreciate your doing your best to defend scopely here but again irrelevant because my point would still stand if I brought two packs for cost x outside of the error window and someone else brought 2 packs for x inside the error window they have still got more for the same cost than me and however you want to write it or spin it that remains unfair

[solemn plaza]

And if you bought a pack that was advertised as X and didn't do X, you'd expect compensation. You wouldn't expect everyone else who bought pack that was advertised to do Y and did Y to also get the same compensation you just received.

[idle crater]

Well actually that's where your wrong because my ethos would remain the same I would expect a level playing field but that's where individual behaviours and personalities reflect in opinions

[flint ruin]

Brother….the entire “game” is unfair. This is an unlicensed slot machine more than it is a game - if you want fairness, you’re in the wrong arena, mate.

[solemn plaza]

That's kinda my point.

[flint ruin]

It’s always been like this. It’s how all Scopely games are. It’s not going to change.

Mat as well find another windmill, lol…this one ain’t budging.

[idle crater]

Is it fair to assume you got the compo ? ? 👀👀

[solemn plaza]

I did yes. Because I bought a pack that said it would get T5 and it didn't.
Do I agree with them just changing the description on the pack rather than just putting the extra stuff in it absolutely not, but that's not a decision I have any power over.

I also didn't get my comp until after the slb finished, and I still got 1st place.

[idle crater]

All we needed to know was yes you did 😂😂👍👍

[lapis crystal]

Sometimes it goes the other way around too.

I was among people who bought the BP when Cube was launched. Now that's the reason I don't have an option to get one from the Event Store. But people who got the Cube for free later can get a second one with Event Store currency.

That's kind of unfair towards early adopters.

[dull mason]

Should I build my k't'inga now or in a few days for a event ?

[solemn plaza]

Can build it and level it for the next mats spent event.

[dull mason]

Yeah, I was thinking the because the Military supremacy event isn't due for another 2 week+

[solemn plaza]

Ships are normally a good mats outlet for slbs. Quasi has an sms so you could end up unlocking.

[graceful wagon]

Military supremacy event is a joke for anyone Ops 40+ anyways. Rewards are crap for the time spent.

Also, isn’t the military supremacy event technically supposed to be capped to lvl 39 and under only?

[solemn plaza]

No. I still get it at ops56.

[dull mason]

I'm L42 and it's been around a few times

[graceful wagon]

Last time I got the stupid event, was Ops 46.

[lapis crystal]

Oh the Reavers have almost 250k Apex. Checked again and it's better for me too to change E Data from bridge to S31 GG.

Total iso would be equal benefit against 168k Apex, but dropping Data doesn't of course make iso 0. So extra Shred is better.

[graceful wagon]

And this was after already having a Pilum built though.

[solemn plaza]

I normally do it by accident farming MU

[graceful wagon]

Once I built my Korinar though, never saw the event again.

[solemn plaza]

Reavers also mitigate 96% of Iso dmg. So there's that to consider too.

[lapis crystal]

Yeah, that I had noticed in calculations. The one I used had 1200% iso (had T5 Chapel and Data) so even with the tiny 4% it gave decent amount reaching hull.

But not equal to T3 GG effect

[solemn plaza]

The reavers are just generally horrible. Between the iso mit/apex/crit reduction and the iso dmg.

[lapis crystal]

True I can now handle the 55s with Ent, Rot and T5 GS-31 but 60s hurt really bad. Needing Max Forti on top of Cerritos and Fist to do couple / ship.

[silver parcel]

For those that had scoring issues with the better than garbage slb (research wasn't scoring), a comp chest was sent out.

[solemn plaza]

I just do 4/5 waves on the E50 and call it good. Not even close to being able to kill the lvl55 reavers.

[lapis crystal]

Lots of things affecting these. Like I got 380% floor that helps immensely. Here my crews anyways. But I'm still 2 shards short from Quasi and he obviously will belong bd on one ship. Same for Alok. So now these have some low quality bd offices filling space (because crit damage boosting doesn't work).

[solemn plaza]

Your ships are also 3× the size of mine.

Assuming 2 maxed G5E and the GS?

[lapis crystal]

Ah, yeah. Certainly will be tough for lower than G5Es.

Yes, or Ent isn't quite maxed, but couple components short from T12.

[solemn plaza]

Yeah I'm T9 Sanctus, T7 Quv and the GS.

[lapis crystal]

I didn't have Ent during 1st Epic Solos and used T7 Sactus. But I don't know how it would have done because left it without boosts and accepted that it only helps with earlier hostiles.

Without boosts it blew up early, lol.

[solemn plaza]

The Sanctus makes it all the way to wave 4. But then dies very abruptly against the lvl50 reavers lol

[lapis crystal]

Yeah, I bet. Probably not much could be done to help it.

[tropic sorrel]

Is there any research that lowers the entrance fee to mirror universe?

[lapis crystal]

Nope, not for the entrance tokens.

Only for later rift tokens.

[tropic sorrel]

Ok Ty

[solemn plaza]

Might play around with crews and see if I can get my GS to kill some reavers.

[vale root]

@solemn plaza retry the E45 solo waves?

[solemn plaza]

I can clear those no problem.
Can't do wave 5 on the E50. The lvl55 reavers are nasty.

[vale root]

Was just curious since we chatted before the G4 update, wanted to know how those reavers compared to the Reavers that show up in Wave 4+ in the E50’s

[solemn plaza]

So the reavers that used to be in wave 3 of the E45 are the same as the reavers in wave 4 of the E50.

The update to the E45 replaced thr lvl50 reavers in wave 3 with lvl45 reavers.

[vale root]

Thanks, saw that they “looked the same” but the patch notes talked about tiers of reavers etc if memory serves so wasn’t 💯sure they were the same

[solemn plaza]

G4 players with "max G4" GS-31 should be just about able to do 4/5 on the E50 now. It'll be hard and probably suck, but might be feasible.

[vale root]

Not bad… thats pretty solid

[solemn plaza]

The E45 shouldn't be a problem. They removed the reavers on wave 2. And replaced the lvl50 reavers with lvl45 reavers on wave 3. And G4 beam should now be good enough to beam kill the lvl45 and lvl50 reavers.

[vale root]

The E45 Solo waves is much more manageable now, a GS-21 with a T2 beam can now kill the 45 Reavers, which feels more balanced.
But likely need the T4 beam for the 50’s 😉

[solemn plaza]

T3 beam should be good for the lvl50 reavers. They only have 77mill hull.

Heck T2 beam and T3 GS should kill the lvl50 reavers.

that was with cerritos buff and Lorca's fist too

[little violet]

Picard, bev gwen... it would be alot easier, but you need burning and assimilate below deck

[whole robin]

why picard bev?? then I lose the crit from Sisko and the extra shots from sisko

[little violet]

Mitigation and massive boost in iso...

[whole robin]

I already have gwen lol

[astral heath]

/take_quiz 18

[whole robin]

and sisko gives a bunch of mitigation

[round flower]

Quiz 19 is better

[little violet]

Not worth that crew... Next time use mine and you will see a big difference

You need rare voyagers below deck

[whole robin]

which picard

[whole robin]

don't have that picard 😄

[little violet]

He is in transporter patterns

[whole robin]

oh is he?

ohhh he boosts gwen's ability?

[little violet]

what was the point of this comp chest?

[silver parcel]

For those that did research for the slb

and didn't score

[whole robin]

is xindi the only thing that crew is good for?

[solemn plaza]

PBG is the meta armada crew for basically all armadas.

[whole robin]

ah I've been using Sisko Obrien Gwen 🤪

extra shots and all that

PBG might work better on type 3 solos cuz rev has the built in extra shots tho

my Bev is low rank though only like rank 2 😦

she isn't even in the elite pull 😿

in ultra but there's so many officers in there...

[little violet]

She is so good... That is why she is paywalled

[whole robin]

wave 2 of 60 elites still impossible at 62.... so stupid

getting blocked from mission rewards because of ops level

if I was ops 59 I would be able to do at least 3-4 waves of 50 elite

[solemn plaza]

It's only wave 5 on the 50s that's a pita

[whole robin]

yeah well wave2 of the 60 elites obliterates me

even with GS laser

I kill like 2-3 hostiles out of 9

[solemn plaza]

I kill 0/9 on wave 5 of the E50

[whole robin]

I'm talking wave 2 of the e60

e50 I think I killed one hostile wave 5

I can't even beat 2 waves of the 60 and I'm forced to do only 60 for the mission which is BS

50 should count for low ops 60s players

it should be 55 elite and 65 elite

[narrow isle]

Or maybe wait til you’re higher on Ops.🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏼

[whole robin]

or maybe the event mission doesn't give me a choice?

so players who are ops 59 get a ton of rewards

but because I went 60+ I lose out on a ton

🙄

because I'm not 70

[sterile mountain]

Welcome to G6. Time to suffer.

With how well they’ve treated us in G6, I’m sure hundreds are just waiting for G7. /s

[whole robin]

thing is 60 isn't even g6

and at ops60 it requires the 60 solos for missions

lv60 is still g5

and the 60 elite solos are literally impossible at 60

[sterile mountain]

I agree with you. However, when she six came out, they included 56 and above in the same bracket. So I don’t think they believe it.

[whole robin]

you can beat one, maybe two waves

[sterile mountain]

They’re impossible at 69 as well I can’t survive wave three

[whole robin]

I know one 70 on my server who can beat them lol

but he has a MAX gs31

and 150bil power cube

two 150bil power cubes*

[sterile mountain]

Yeah, I really don’t understand why they call it 60. Only 70s can do it.

[whole robin]

up to wave 3 should be made much easier

only wave 4/5 should be hard

[sterile mountain]

G5 players can’t do the 50s.

[whole robin]

a 59 can do 3/4 waves of the 50 elite

with a decent sanctus

and like a tier 4 GS31

[sterile mountain]

Right, that’s what I’m saying. At 59 you should be able to clear something marked 50.

[whole robin]

🤷

[sterile mountain]

They scaled them all wrong.

[whole robin]

I can't even do the last wave of the 50s at 62

[sterile mountain]

That’s what I’m saying. They aren’t labeled right.

[whole robin]

I was saying they should change them to be at least 55/65

still underlabeled but whales at 56/66 may be able to finish

🤷

[warm root]

Does Picard only give Apex barrier with full synergy?

[silver parcel]

doesn't work on mission hostiles

[warm root]

I dont think its working on regular hostile either

[lapis olive]

What determines the amount of syndicate exp you get rewarded for events? Ops level? Sydicate level? (I don't mean daily syndicate chest pulls)

[warm root]

Oh wait it is never mind

[solemn plaza]

The really whaley G5 players can.

[sterile mountain]

Ops, usually.

[whole robin]

56+ should be able to do at least 3 of the elite waves it doesn't really get hard until 4

60 gets insanely hard at wave 2

[solemn plaza]

I'm 56 and can do 4/5 on E50s. Wave 5 is just nope.

[stark fjord]

you know your server hates you when you need to waste 5000 rare directives just to do an event 😳

[warm root]

🤣

I wont get their anytime soon

I just cant justify 20$ for the second builder

[narrow summit]

This not seeing what I'm collecting from the broken chest function is great

[stark fjord]

so is the $15 worth it to get the premium event loot?

[warm root]

All the other base building games its always 4.99$

[opaque crescent]

but you bought a jellyfish…?

or was that from event store?

[warm root]

The event

[opaque crescent]

coz i don’t disagree that prices in this game are wack but you’ll use second builder as long as you play

[opaque crescent]

ok that makes more sense. i’m sure second builder was like 7 bucks back in the day

[warm root]

20$ in my area is a lot I live in NYC I have to compare it to what I can buy with that in real life

[tiny condor]

When is the next kermin hostiles event?

[umbral vigil]

I know it's not the biggest bug in the game but are Scopely planning to fix the refinery claims anytime soon?

[quaint osprey]

You mastered the archive

Once you max the archive of the botany bay it is claimed instead of a bunch of the stuff in the faction store

[opaque crescent]

he didn’t post it coz of that, he posted it coz the toons and stores are switched around

[quaint osprey]

Sometimes when switching between factions the holograms bug out

[noble willow]

Its funny

[oak basin]

wow, congrats, you hit a bunch of miners, gg, top tier pvp there.

@oak basin i dont think i ask you something

[late ermine]

Maybe they will be in future event store who knows

[late ermine]

What event?

[slow isle]

sounds like he means a rare Xindi armada to finish the weekly event in one go

[placid zinc]

Daily claims completely jacked or just me?

Well if it was in past i will say same thing now days xindi rare directives are like candys

[silver parcel]

jacked as in?

Working fine try restarting

are they like candies? you can buy them in the S31 shop, but I think a full set cost like the whole loot of a solo wave of those credits

[late ermine]

Ahh u just can't see what u getting

[placid zinc]

Will that kick me out of the screen too? In essence it’s doubled my clicks

[late ermine]

Well yea ...

Still cheap one solo wave directives to get 5000 directives compare to previously more or less 2 months double xindi unc pull

[slow isle]

true

[thorn fjord]

It was explained at launch, guess the information isn’t elsewhere, but needs to be

[placid zinc]

This worked and does kick you back out of the screen

[silver parcel]

The pop out rewards was intended, useful for some claims, but not the ones they added, it should be a toggle, and hopefully they've taken the negative feedback on it to heart.

There is a bug that keeps you on the screen though, that needs to be fixed

Repairing ship can't be sped up. I'll report it and I'm sure the ship will finish repairing by the time it gets fixed!

Seems like some new stuff

But if its the old bug where its stuck on battle after you start repair restart will fix it

And tbh i still don't know why they haven't fixed that after who knows how long

So when are we rolling back this last "QoL" update? Because it's made the game experience significantly worse. It feels like the UI is actively punishing us for playing now.

I think it's called User Hostile design.

The opposite of User Friendly.

i still think its funny how its supposedly tested before release but yet 9 out of 10 times the tested thing breaks only after release? it makes no sense

did you get enough unc materials to upgrade your revenant back to tier 5 after scrapping is finished?

[stark fjord]

I should yes I pulled the polygon once at tier 4 and again at tier 5 and the scrap reward 20k

No that's just what an average player with a competent alliance looks like.

The extra insta BP when they offer it is a way better value than that trash

[solid kayak]

need the cerritos and titan-a added to the archive. that would be nice

ok I scraped the revenant but the bundle is not popping up to give me the ship bps to build it again?

oooooo and mantis

refinery

[stark fjord]

I am there

it just say mark 2 preview

[steep aspen]

I think the total for the 4 milestones is close to 150k, which can be a specialty ship unlocked. Relative to the cost of buying a specialty ship, $15 isn't that bad

[stark fjord]

ok got it had to leave the refinery and go back

[solid kayak]

not that section should be in front of the solo/group loot refinery. maybe restart game application. you also gotta once youve accepted the stuff go into skin menu and activate the mk2 skin for the loot refinery to update to the mk2 stuff from tier 5

Yup. Blog will live in a couple of minutes. I kinda jumped the gun....

@heady moon any news on when they thinking about the next AT...?

[foggy parrot]

I'm sure you've heard this before, but learn to play the game, learn how the beam mechanics work, and you'll do much better at everything

You have to level it to get the beam to be good

[stark fjord]

I dont have engouh ship xp or latnium

[tepid lotus]

I think lately Tournaments have been announced like the day before it starts.

[foggy parrot]

gonna be tomorrow 🤫 don't tell anyone

[dull mason]

Do some mining, refining or grinding

[tepid lotus]

You missed twerking. Mining, refining, grinding, twerking.

[dull mason]

Hunt OPC Lat for refining

[stark fjord]

I guess no one ever asked how to get ship xp for the borg cube in here

[lyric haven]

Found a photo of your account

[foggy parrot]

No, it's that you ask the same questions over and over and never take the suggestions.

Getting ship XP for the cube is the same as every other ship

[dull mason]

don't like emojis 🤦🏼‍♂️

[stark fjord]

I am not buying 1000s in packs just to play the game which the game is almost forcing me to do

[shy hamlet]

I thought you wanted to do that.
also it's not forcing you to do that.
also if you had listened to advice earlier instead of pushing ahead unprepared the game would be less difficult

[stark fjord]

but its my game I can play how I want I dont tell others how to play so stop telling me how to play

[foggy parrot]

How do I ...
Like this...
Stop telling me how to play
🤷‍♂️

[primal stag]

You've rushed your account so much that you aren't prepared for the content that's recommended for your ops, as such you either have to spend up to a year fixing it or buy packs to fix that.

[shy hamlet]

you can play how you want. you can do whatever.
actions have consequences, and the consequences of making bad decisions and ignoring advice are that the game gets much harder.
you don't seem to enjoy those consequences - so I'm trying to tell you how you could have avoided them

[stark fjord]

at least I can play the game its not totally unplayable yet but I just want to do better and everyone have conterdicting advice so its so confusing

[leaden meadow]

Did you level all your ships with ship xp and latinum?
How do you not know you can just grind for ship xp or even let your cube farm texans or augment space overnight

[foggy parrot]

That was supposed to be a secret 🤫 😱

[leaden meadow]

Just take your cube to level 60 freebooter space and grind away. Or fkr space for better rates

[stark fjord]

grinding takes time that I dont have I got a limited time in the day to do what matters to me first then when I have done that then I got free time to do other things

[foggy parrot]

If you have time to stream, you have time to grind

[stark fjord]

no one wants to see me grind the game its boring

[leaden meadow]

You can put your cube out while you’re busy during the day in texas space, requires 0 effort or time

[foggy parrot]

exactly, grind instead

[dull mason]

Hostile grinding is Free

[shy hamlet]

if you're an interesting person to watch you don't have to be doing the most important thing in the background

if people are watching stfc gameplay I kinda assume they're expecting hostile grinding given what percentage of the gameplay it is

complaining about it would be like complaining about cs'ing in league

[foggy parrot]

you can also combine it into a stream if streaming is really what you want

• trying a new crew, let's see how it is for ship xp / rep / whatever
• let's see how many reds at this level I can grind...
• if I change to a different system, do I get more, same or fewer ...
  ...

It can really just be limited by imagination and as I write that I realise 🙊

[stark fjord]

why is all ship so slow to tier up like mutiple days per comopmnet it like the programers what to waste 10 years of your life

[solid kayak]

gets you to spend $$$ to speed up progression

[plush lark]

who needs cs in league, you farm champs you scrub

[humble orbit]

They want you to spend to avoid wasting 10y of your life.

[plush lark]

orrrrr play aram

[stray pawn]

Try telling that to those who are flying around during Incursions in 15bn+ cubes 😂

[stark fjord]

well for my level a 48m tier 8 cube wont have anything to write home about

[shy hamlet]

you're missing a zero

[maiden blaze]

but you are on a dead end in this game. so who is wrong?

[humble orbit]

Just play more conservatively with the lat, there's a lot available to spenders, but don't waste it all. Lat'ing ship exp is worth it to avoid all the grind or afk farming (problematic for anyone in a rogue alliance).

[stray pawn]

True 🤣

[plush lark]

use all lat to level ships! lol thats what i do im lazy..........

[stark fjord]

I level the alliance too much preasure so I am back to my solo alliance

[shy hamlet]

I find lar leveling mostly just useful for ships I can't use regularly for my grinding

[humble orbit]

What use is leveling a solo alliance?

[shy hamlet]

so specialties, ones to scrap, or miners

[plush lark]

you dont need to donate to the alliance? not necessary at all. shouldnt feel pressured for that.

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/karate-kid-wax-rotate-car-training-gif-4993063

[shy hamlet]

I think he meant he left because it was too much pressure

not that he's leveling alliances

[dull mason]

Don't donate Lat ...!!!

[humble orbit]

Oh, left.

[graceful sage]

seems like there is more to the story

[hot dove]

You stream to at most 2 viewers. And all you actually do on your stream is look at the store and work out how much money you need spend. Over and over. For hours. Thats what nobody wants to watch you doing.

[foggy parrot]

... given that everyone in every major alliance on his server knows him ... yup

[humble orbit]

If the pay wasn't worth it, then it makes sense. Rogue gaming experience can be pretty poor for some players.

[split zinc]

does GS31 beam ability get nerfed when hitting up lvls similar to borg cubes beam?

[humble orbit]

Yes, it has a whale tax.

[plush lark]

cant let us poors do damage to teh wealthy

[shy hamlet]

the sting effect shouldn't get nerfed though

[stark fjord]

there is no point in streaming if I am not getting something out of it and I dont game if I am not stream mabye it would be the best if I just quit both

[lethal coral]

Ever tried , just having fun?

[humble orbit]

Video gaming is for your enjoyment first.

[dull mason]

When you are offline, hostile Hunt in Augment system's, XP costs nothing,

[humble orbit]

If you dislike the experience, and feel compelled to continue it like a job, then you might want to reconsider how you engage with it.

[stark fjord]

that is not how life works I need purpose before I feel anything so if its not giving me purpace then there is no point in feeling anything

[dull mason]

If you find faction dailies hard reduce the Rep, the cube isn't the be All and end all
Use a better ship for freebooters

[solemn plaza]

Then make the purpose of doing it to have fun.

[stark fjord]

I only do things for tangible results fun its not tangible

[solemn plaza]

It's an online game. There's nothing about it that's tangible.....if you only do things that are tangible why did you even start playing.

[maiden blaze]

so why are arguing here, if you know everything?

[stark fjord]

I know what I need to know not everything only the things I find useful to me that is why most people advice cant help me I am an indvifual I have uniuie individual needs I am different from everyone else in the world

[shy hamlet]

you are an individual.
also, you are playing a video game that is not deeply abstracted from a spreadsheet, and thus a lot of it comes down to an optimization problem that has similar optimal calculations for most people

[stray pawn]

Wasn’t there supposed to be a comp chest of ship parts for GS31 owners today? I’ve noticed the message has been removed from in game news

[foggy parrot]

I believe that was for ppl who bought packs before it got fixed

[stray pawn]

No that was a different one for people who bought the Accelerated Tier Up Pack . This one was to compensate GS31 owners for ship part pulls. Hammy told me about it on 15th and it went into in game news saying it was to be sent on 17th, but it disappeared from there at event reset 🤷‍♂️

[foggy parrot]

better ask The Man

[stray pawn]

I have and guess he is busy atm

[humble orbit]

This have any sourcing outside of the cash shop and event store?

[stray pawn]

I have my answer. In game news said 17th, but just found an announcement that said by end of week once they gave worked out who qualifies so guess it’s still being calculated

[foggy parrot]

not sure, I have it unlocked and I never paid for it

faction store?

[humble orbit]

Oh, was this was in a bp reward?

[solemn plaza]

By the end of the week.

As per announcement

[shy hamlet]

I don't have any shards yet, so I would guess none that's free

[solemn plaza]

No

[humble orbit]

Noticed a lack of decent pve CTs while setting up for waves. Looks decent until more options are out.

[solemn plaza]

Yup they all pretty meh

[stray pawn]

It’s just me getting confused. Am in UK so thinking of Good Friday as a holiday, just worked out in most of USA it isn’t

[foggy parrot]

it's not? 😱

[modest echo]

Nope, not this one. The FT had been somewhere, in battlepass maybe, but the mirror CT was not.

[solemn plaza]

Can use the stat proc ones to save an officer space.
Chrono is boost to shields and some apex.
Lute gives some iso.
Mirror is also just eh.

All in all they're all pretty underwhelming.

[shy hamlet]

almost every CT is pvp or specific. I was pondering that myself the other night

also the lack of mining CT

[solemn plaza]

The 85% chance for HB is probably best bet. Get HB on a 2nd ship without using bridge slot.

[shy hamlet]

mining ct with bonus ore/crystal/gas when exiting the node feels like a gimme

This is getting old... Been coming up on LOTS of things since update this morning.

[wraith moat]

Scopley have to fix the wave defence crash bug. It happens with solos. I dont have infinite solo starts. Sort it out. Stop fixing bugs that are not an issue fix the important ones please @heady moon <@&509690795536941056> @scopley

And elite wave 60 have become impossible to get past wave 2

[little violet]

Welcome to the club 😄

[strong nacelle]

Has anyone received their comp with the 2800 recycle tokens?

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/x-do-not-want-no-nope-penguin-gif-1541816072889835675

[opal meadow]

Why are you doing elite 60's

[wraith moat]

Because there's events for them playing out loot so gotta do them

[opal meadow]

What Ops are you

[wraith moat]

64

[opal meadow]

Then i wouldn't expect you to

Just do regular 60's, they score too

[wraith moat]

I do they are easy wave 5 every time

[opal meadow]

i wouldn't waste your credits on 60E's

[dull mason]

Don't forget about compensation chest

[wraith moat]

Which compo chest. Haven't seen one

[dull mason]

We need one,
Because of all the hassle

[wraith moat]

2 free packs of our choice will do nicely

That's just compo for continuing to play

That's before we get into specific issue. Moon on a stick?

[dull mason]

[dull mason]

Button moon

[wraith moat]

That brings back memories

[dull mason]

Can you remember the theme song?

[opal meadow]

Then do 50E's the rewards are far better than a couple of 60E waves

[wraith moat]

It's I'm my head but can't hum it

[stark fjord]

I got sigma speed ups and I cant do anything with them

[wraith moat]

I'll have em

[opal meadow]

Save them, you will need them in 7 years

or i'll swap for the millions of G3.G4 & G5 i dont need

[little violet]

So.... the Gs 31 has to survive in the wave to get credit for it.. Even if it was in there from the start.. Scopely... Come one with the bs

[tender hollow]

Am I and those on my server the only one who still have the wave bug that causes ship to not attack the hostiles so you can't get the 5 rounds

So losing starter directive and loot so thank you for the fun bugs so very funny

[stark fjord]

ops 57 is so far away 😦

I am asking around my server if any ops 70 player wants to help me do armadas

still waiting for public armadas hopefully next month 🙏

[solemn plaza]

You don't need an ops 70 for armadas.

[opal meadow]

Will never happen

formadas are the closest you will get to public

[valid flax]

Umm stupid question… what system are the Gorn … ?

[opal meadow]

Around Trias

[valid flax]

[whole robin]

ya the whispers is actually a good deal like 150k intel once u complete it for $15

but they screwed us over with the elite solo waves missions... a 59 can actually complete more waves than a 69

[hidden locust]

to lazy atm for dti building just moved ops. do i need to wait for a daily reset

[whole robin]

a 59 can complete 3-4 elite waves, a 69 can only complete 2-3 lol

I'm 62 I can beat 4 50 elite but only 1 60 elite 🤪

[tepid fossil]

I can't even beat 1

[whole robin]

that's pretty bad the first wave is pretty easy 🤪

[tepid fossil]

My strongest ship is 1m power

[whole robin]

.... then you must not be 45 yet

[tepid fossil]

I can't even do the waves that you get for the s31 missions

[opaque crescent]

favour for feedback to pass on @heady moon ? can you please pass on to whoever schedules the events that things like good friday essentially happen for 2 days coz of time zones and maybe schedule ones that don’t take as much time accordingly? thanks 💜

I know what scopley can do to limit cheating on the questions.... institute a question daily limit and never raise it even if you get more docks/ships. That's known to stop bots right?

[tepid fossil]

Wdym cheating on the questions?

[heady moon]

Yup. We're going to be implementing some changes to keep things much more fair for the next run.

[minor furnace]

If that is in reference to the quiz that ended, I won't do one if I find a way to cheese it.

was the quiz ingame or out of game?

[grim thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-yourenottheonlyonecursedwithknowledge-gif-26388189

[austere citrus]

@heady moon a suggestion for future trivias instead of multiple choice where people already have another tab open with answers 30 seconds to answer writing out the answer take 30 x the amount of questions would be the base time to complete it the shortest time the 3 do are your winners

[heady moon]

It was run here on this discord.

[hearty mauve]

Or just draw x amount of winners from everyone submitting correctly

if its a quiz you cant prevent people from looking up the answer

[eternal ivy]

<@&509691205798592532> When possible, could I get the admiral role attached to my account so that I can post in Find-Your-Alliance?

[whole robin]

how does Obrien/Tolra stack with Rev Mark2's extra shots? additively or multiplicatively?? I know they multiply themselves

[silver parcel]

it adds like 1 or 2 shots and is wasted

meta is picard bev demarco

[tepid fossil]

Wait what's this about issues with the quiz?

[little violet]

Already told him picard bev demarco is better yesterday...

[solemn plaza]

It works off of the base number of shots.

Which is 4/2/2/4

[whole robin]

ok but the meta is only for rev right 😄

well mostly for Rev

or other short armadas

because math wise Tolra or Obrien beat on like 5+ round fights

[little violet]

All armadas....

[solemn plaza]

So MK2 adds 10. To give you 14/12/12/14, and then 100% shots from Miles will put you at 18/14/14/18.

[little violet]

Unless you want loot

Then dajash, 5 gwen

[whole robin]

ok so that's additively not multiplicatively

but normally shots stack multiplicatively so on other ships it's 1x 2x 4x for Tolra and 1x 2x 4x 8x for Obrien if you manage to get full stacks

if you have rank 4 or 5 tolra that would outdamage on any 4+ rounds Armada except Q continuum ones

[solemn plaza]

Rev is the same you just have to ignore the +10 from the MK2 refit.

[whole robin]

that's literally what I was asking was if the +10 stacked multiplicatively or additively

it changes the name of the game

and makes shot officers not optimal

but vs say Krenim solos

it depends on your Tolra rank

at higher ranks Tolra + anything + gwen is more damage than Picard + bev + gwen

for Krenim solos

you can also do Pike Tolra Gwen but you lose the loot bonus

max Tolra (which is possible now due to DTI) adds +400% damage after 2 rounds

[solemn plaza]

It's the same thing with the Stella

[whole robin]

or actually I guess it's +300%

[little violet]

Every armada means every armada...

[whole robin]

the maths don't support

if your Tolra/Obrien is high rank

[little violet]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-gif-6565016535492739421

[whole robin]

on Rev it's definitely meta

[lyric haven]

Shots stack additively off base. So 1x 2x 3x or 1x 2x 3x 4x using your examples

[whole robin]

??

[lyric haven]

Yeah.

[whole robin]

since when 🤔

[lyric haven]

Always

[whole robin]

they used to stack multiplicatively

or I was lied to

😄

[solemn plaza]

You were lied too

It's always off of base

[lyric haven]

Try a couple runs to confirm for yourself. Only way to be 100% sure.

[whole robin]

pretty sure I tested it before and it was multiplicitive

but i'll test it again

[dull mason]

https://tenor.com/view/tealc-puppet-laughing-stargate-sg1-gif-25955334

[whole robin]

either way Tolra's still better at rank 5

even if it's additive

+200% is better than +120%

except on Rev

[little violet]

get this kinda damage with miles... From all his shots maybe... But this is one shot in the round...

[whole robin]

the exception being very short armadas that you kill in like 2-3 rounds

but longer armadas like KRenim solos?

[little violet]

that was also with loot crew and not pic, bev

[whole robin]

I've tested it before and Tolra crew was better

[little violet]

Its not..

[whole robin]

vs Krenim solos it was

[solemn plaza]

If your using maxed rank as a bases then you have to compare it against a maxed Gwen.

[whole robin]

Gwen rank is irrelevant

because you are still using gwen

so either way you are multiplying gwen's damage

[little violet]

Gwen rank is not irrelevant 🤣

[whole robin]

either by damage PER shot or by NUMBER of shots

it is in this comparison

it also depends on your base iso damage

[solemn plaza]

Boosting gwen at 70% is dramatically different to boosting gwen at 150%

[whole robin]

boosting gwen at 70% * 3x

210%

you get triple shots guranteed with max tolra

rank 4 tolra is also better

but at lower rank tolra your crew wins

[little violet]

How bout you hit an armada with both and compare instead of throwing numbers out..

[whole robin]

I have but I will do it again

I actually tested the Pike Moreau Gwen crew before which boosts gwen even further

but lacks the mitigation of bev

[solemn plaza]

Picard and Pike have the exact same capt ability with 1 synergy.

[whole robin]

no wait my bad

yeah you're right

same

but yeah Pike Moreau Gwen did less damage than Tolra Byr ch'kelrer gwen

when I tested it on krenim solos months ago

and I've ranked up my Tolra since then

[solemn plaza]

And it's 2.2×70%=154% vs a maxed gwen being 2.2×150%=330%.

330% iso cascade is going to add an insane amount of dmg.

[whole robin]

ok and a max gwen with max tolra is 3x150 = 450%

you're shooting 3 shots at 150% iso cascade each instead of 1 at 330%

for rev that crew is undoutably the best, and also for very short armadas that hit very hard like xindi

but for longer fights like krenim solo? Tolra wins hands down

again, depends on your Tolra rank

and vs non invading entities you have to also factor in you are giving up crit rate by giving up Sisko

like I said I tested it before and it was close but was doing about 20% less damage on long armadas

per round

works great on stella and rev tho

and vs xindi armadas

but vs krenim solo you can actually use both

🤪

only one gwen but

[lyric haven]

I assume you've considered the multiplicitave nature of iso cascade to iso damage. Of course you did.

[whole robin]

yes I did

because you're multiplying it per shot as well

it doesn't matter if you're doing 1.5x3 or 3.3x1

[lyric haven]

So with 200% iso dmg on whatever ship, with 330% cascade added, its actually 596% as opposed to 3x 150%.

[whole robin]

it's still multiplying with shots too though

by the way your math is off
