there is a huge difference between an ops 69 and an ops 70 I'll let you figure it out

placid zinc
#

Try pelia below decks, helps for that

minor furnace

PELIA is a nono

yeah that might work, just try it

2 Gbit fiber with a 1 Gb failover coax. Yeah. It’s not that… but it’s Scopley. We’re the problem.

#

Not saying all 69’s cannot do this. I’m saying it really depends on your ship choice. Guessing you have a velox and not a kos’karii

Who here loves tomato sandwiches

minor furnace
#

That should not make sense. I need apex barrier. Not the other way around

unreal pilot

and no....not gonna buy the FT that will be rlease to kill these too

I have 69’s that can kill a handful on a hull. Some only one and some cannot kill a single one

#

The enemies need to mitigate MY damage?

stark fjord
rocky escarp
#

So a paywalled daily. Great

faint wave
#

You need to mitigate their damage with your apex. And they have apex shred to reduce your apex barrier. It’s dumb

silk cove
#

Again, the daily is so absurdly hard because the event is "mitigate damage with apex barrier" and the enemies have a huge amount of Apex Shred,** which ignores our Apex Barrier.** This is what <@&509690795536941056> need to be discussing with design - these two things are at odds with each other, and no amount of spending or officers can fix it. It is not a fixable problem for players, and the higher you get, the worse the problem becomes. I should be mitigating over half the Hostiles damage and i'm mitigating a TINY fraction of that.

placid zinc
deft lance
#

Pretty sure they erected Apex Barriers on the network connections.

twilit lintel
humble orbit
#

Using a bad officer gives the enemy apex barrier, so they last longer, and so they can deal more damage to you, so that you can apex barrier their damage.

placid zinc
#

I’m about to use Leslie lol

#

Tried that. swapping out officers to prolong the fight. Best I can get is 8bil apex (~2 pts for an ops 66)

placid zinc

#

.. and that is a 100rd partial win

round shale

#

i feel like this daily is going to give me

placid zinc
humble orbit
#

I'm testing it, but that shred problem seems significant.

silk cove
#

They need to drop a zero off the apex shred of the enemies or off the amount you have to mitigate, like immediately

silk cove
minor furnace
#

Ok. In theory. your pelia method works.

round shale
placid zinc
minor furnace
#

But I still get more points killing 70's than taking partials at my ops level

fathom river
#

The pelia thing prolongs the fight, but it still comes down to number of hulls per point for the task

silk cove
#

I'm literally a game designer, it took me about 15 minutes to figure out why this was broken.

They could think about hiring some

#

prolonging the fight would only be helpful with a post-start barrier stack that increased over time. Right now, that's only Annorax, and his vanishes after 2 rounds.

#

Pass on the daily if my epic can only get 2 points per attack. This new content is worse than the last. The game is quickly going down hill to a pay to play model.

#

I have khan and lorca FC maxed out, with Annorax, Nesmith and Garrett on board, i'm mitigating <10% with apex barrier when I should be closer to 65%. Screenshots are above. @heady moon The enemies have an insane amount of apex shred making the daily so hard

#

Also have Annorax data pad at level 8

# heady moon Khan has apex barrier

I get what you are doing but the new content is broken and not reasonable or acceptable and is too much and penalized players as they level, especially when players for to 60/61 70/71.

You need to push back to scopley and tell them how broken it is.

heady moon

#

The pelia trick works if you can otherwise curbstomp them at your level. For me i can get 5 pts per battle and then 5-6 battles per hull

Yeah, that's a nice improvement. Good that there's a plan for some levels.

quartz spoke
#

148 lvl 70 hostiles killed....47/100 for daily

surreal token
fathom river
#

The problem is you have to overcome their crit damage, which lowers the pool of damage that can be "apex barrier"-ed, and then they shred on top of that

fierce trout
#

Do you have a code to redeem something?

opal kraken
humble orbit
#

Pelia plan is actually better than initial testing I did, probably rounding issues. Everyone should try it. It also has the benefit of not killing the enemy so you impulse to the next fight much quicker.

rich drift
#

Has anyone tried auto grinding them with the dauntless? since that ability give apex barrier

light beacon
#

sooo.... this month brings a change from every prior arc. Rather than release one of the 4 missions per week, that anyone of the right level can do, they put the 4th mission behind a pay wall. you MUST have the excelsior to complete it.

humble orbit
#

Dauntless is too weak, and if you spent enough to make it strong, then I think the task's not a big deal since you would buy your way through it too.

Has anyone been able to get an external keyboard and mouse to work with STFC on an Android tablet? I've done some digging around and it sounds like it's simply not supported by the game? Seems kinda ridiculous to me, so checking with the hivemind if there's some kind of workaround that I'm missing.

I settled on this for the rela. About 14pts/5min run including travel on the apex barrier task. It's fast enough to finish the task, might be able to extend a run by adding in suder somewhere.

i saw somebody else use pelia on the rel and was thinking its for the extra dmg ?

humble orbit
#

They make the enemy last longer in a fight, so they don't die. That gives them more rounds to shoot you and earn apex barrier pts. Also, because they don't die, you don't have to impulse far for another fight.

Re: mitigation daily. We shouldn’t have to work so hard to ‘game’ the system. I didn’t try snw last night but still feels like the daily is borked. I appreciate the players efforts, but with so much variation in account development- this is crazy.

@heady moon so first the goal said 1/10, then after I got 10 it changed to 10/100... and there no 75 hostile in the 70 system. Scopely needs to learn the difference between DAILY and ALL DAY

For having a mechanic based around Apex Barrier, they haven't really dropped a whole lot of officers that add to Apex barrier that aren't PVP. Yes, I'm aware there are some. But it's really not a lot for needing billions in Apex mitigation.

there's nothing... in... that loop?

warm pivot
#

did a quick check, against a normal fkr hostile without shred, my apex barrier mitigates around 46,5% so near to the 10k barrier.
but against a vger silent it only mitigates 9.2%, so they shred my apexbarrier down to 1/5th, meaning they got 40k apexshred...

no matter what you stack in apexbarrier, they will shred it down to 1/5th of what you think you got.
making small little increases of 100 or 200 meaningless

i think they balanced the dailytask for them having 0 shred, as they made the mistake of giving them apexbarrier and not apexshred in the patchnotes... so if even they dont know the difference its highly likely that another dev didnt get the memo as well

@late pawn I know i am much lower than you, but the two crews that worked well for me were JL, Bev, Annorax, with Tom Paris, WOK McCoy and Rachel Garret BD. I also tried JL, Annorax, Nesmith, and with Tom Paris, WOK McCoy and Rachel Garret BD and those did pretty good

and i get it, they might have given them apexbarrier initially, but then they decided to implement the additional anti snw punishment as well, and apexbarrier on top of apexbarrier looks weird, so they just shred apexbarrier instead of getting apexshred... thats where this weird description of shredding barrier and not getting apexshred comes from

The problem is we are all trying to do things without buying the new ship. But it'll also take forever to get the ship F2P, since the tasks are inconsistent.

Yeah, so leveling it will be slower. Since the dailies are designed to screw higher ops

if I get 1000 thumbs up on that buy comment, I will buy that ship out of spite

warm pivot

thats btw the reason why i stopped buying the combat pass as well, as i m already far ahead of the target opslevel of 51 for new contend... rushing only makes your ships weak in comparison to your ops
widening the gap even further only makes the problem worse

late pawn
#

The biggest thing they do that is shady is that the 'costs' for the same items go up (Not always) when you raise your Ops level. But you don't really get 'more' of the things that go toward things that cost more.

But adding standard mitigation reduces the amount of apex barrier you can add to the score.

@heady moon out of curiosity, is there any word of potentially adding WoK Scotty and Saviik to Officer Depot tokens also (although I'm less fussy about) SNW Scotty and Dchok as all 4 of them have been out for about 6 months so it should be about time. I think adding officers consistently will help deal with the glaring issue of Transporter Patterns where many established play max new additions with a snap of a finger due to how much currency we have saved up when additions are made once a year.

Not really an issue about shred, it's just difficult to complete the apex barrier task for some players.

# placid zinc this would make too much sense because it would drive spending for depot tokens ...

You hit the nail on the head, I'm sure many light spend players don't feel like they want to spend on a pack for depot tokens when there're no new additions and most of the officers available are either maxed or high tier epics which take a ton of tokens. This too me would signify the low value proposition presented to the play while adding officers increases the value especially if those officers aren't maxed for that player

Just because Janeway has captains ability.. why you don't need a captain's ability

Janeway makes your shields take more damage and you not reducing the crit damage (hostile ability)

There are ways my t15 cube.. that's a t9 g6 rare can kill 2x 70s or 5 69s. Per hull and 5pts ( 9b=1pt) on 70s or 8 PTS off 69s ( my ops)

gentle sable
#

adjusted crew set up for borg cube can defeat silent hostile without buff, but only get x2 points for apex mitigation, guess i'll need to make another 40 trips

gray lintel
#

But yes iso damage req and Apex barrier mitigation damage per PT need to be swapped as silents have shred which reduces any apex barrier

#

So apex barrier mitigation is affected by normal mitigation, iso mitigation and apex shred.. so small numbers per hostile

#

Whereas iso damage is huge most cases gorn daily done in 1 shot

#

Whereas silent easy daily is 75 hodtiles
