Hey Scopely: If you want us to Ops up then fix your dang "economy" - take off the timer, improve the turn in rates for the refineries, multiphasic packs; etc. I'm level 66 and i flat out told my alliance yesterday to not go into the 60s for at least 6 months.
Great Video, Rev. Thank You confirms the advice I give to my team: Play the game you want to play, not the game $copely expects you to play. I saw the comments re 'not camping' during the livestream - and laughed...... That advice leads to burn out & drives players away. Gotta have fun - it is a game, after all
I am ops 39. I want to be ready in every way when I go to ops 40. I have always heard, you have to spend more above ops 39 because of road blocks. Scopely pushes you towards higher ops so you will spend more sooner. I am very thankful for the Rev deuce Ops 39 checklist.
Even when I was in the mid 30's, ops 46 was always my goal. I identified it as the ideal point at which to stop and camp down. Good to see your chart concurs with my plan. I can now work on being the strongest for my level, beyond that, well I'm not sure I want to go there. It's just a matter of time when new content will only be for 50+ players, and they're welcome to it. Really good video Rev, thanks
This is really helpful to me, I’ve pushed to ops 42 to bump the next tier lock on my ships and make progress but think I need to sit here and go for higher faction unlocks next to get stronger faction ships 😎👍
Great video rev, we all know scopely wants us to level up so we end up buying more packs as the economy is just not good enough and even if you did rush ops Where's the officers coming from? Even more packs is what scopely is saying so always chill and go up when ready
I'm more concerned with the serious issues we have playing the game, the lags, failure to target hostiles I.e retrieving or windows spin circle constantly, those who paid for yet another upgrade get rewarded tonight, those that don't continue to get screwed over by the developers
Rev absolutely agree with your opinion. I’ve been comparing my power to my server and everyone at my level. I count myself F2P, I’ve never bought a pack, bought only extra research and building line. I’m 100mil power for a lvl48 player, on server 155 I’m now the strongest at that level but 27mil power behind the top lvl48 in the game, I do most of the building, research and specialty ships before tiering up.
On my 39, I am waiting until I finish farming Kelvin and Hydra BPs. Then I will go up to 45 and then get Klingon ships. On my 45, when I finish farming Vorta Vor BPs, I will go to 48 or 49.
I started watching you 2 months before I started the game. Then when I started playing I decided I was going to camp 14 for 1 year for 4 reasons. 1. its pay to win (kinda iffy on these games). 2To see if I had the time to play it. 3. To if I liked it enough to play long term. 4. To gather shards and mats to make it easier leveling up. P.S. love the video's.
Rev, I camped at Ops 39 and did not move up to Ops 40 until I had completed all of the items listed on your Ops 39-40 Video with the exception of Faction Rep. I even took it a step further in that I had all 3 epic ships maxed out and 1-2 tiers above your recommendation for the Specialty ships. What I am struggling with now is the amount of time it takes to increase my faction rep. Would it be wise to work on locking in 1 faction per level (40-41-42)ensuring that all three are at the second lock before moving on to 43? Any ideas? Currently working on my Fed work 1st simply because I was further along with it than I was with Rom or Klingon. Thoughts and recommendations from all welcome.
I upgraded ASAP, and made L39 in 6 months, totally free to play. Concentrate on latinum L1-30 and uncommon matls L31-39. My best ship was a 450K Kumari
Hey Dev, love the vids, keep them coming, just a quick question, as there is soooooooooo much content in game to do, has anyone bought out a weekly rota as in spending a certain day doing a couple of things like hitting jem'hadar to get enough resources for the week and doing the amalgam for instance, i've found that im spending too much on one thing and forgetting to do other stuff, so I'm well behind for my lvl. cheers.
27 should be a camps ops. It's the best ops to work on the daily SLB's to bulk up on resources, collect a full set of 28 faction bps and do several T4 Setalla scraps. Once you ops up to 28 the daily SLB bracket changes to 28-50 and those rewards become unobtainable.
If they want people to ops up they need to add a lot more of the older officers (including rares) to transporter patterns and make specialty ship sourcing, much faster & easier below ops 40. A year seems like a reasonable timeframe to add an old officer to the transporter patterns. Specially for Officers like 5, Sisko, Janeway and the Voyager Rare officers. A year is a good enough head start for the spenders to grab the officers and max them out early. Currently the 3* economy is fine, but the timeframe for acquiring ships and officers is still atrocious.
Hell yeah, 5years into the game and g3 epics at ops 38 are still £99/for 38 shards but they then give away borg cubes to all, and also do 2xg4 specialist ships for £99
I took an extended break back in 2021 thru most of 2022. been back now for about 9 months ish and finally reached lv 39. planning on camping here for an extended stay and working on research. Have alot of missions in the HoloDeck to run as well, I currently have about 1800 pattern buffers, any recommendations on where i should use them? Deep Space Nine, Starge New Worlds, The Original Series, Next Gen, Outlaws, Borg?
Rev, I hope you sit down now. I do 110% agree with all you said in this vid. With the high release pace of new content by Scopley, they are shooting themselves in the foot in my opinion. We dont even get time to enjoy one arcs content before its (almost) obselete with the next arc. Feels like they are burning the torch in both ends to be honest. Keep up with your content, be honest with your opinion and most of all, live long and prosper!
I wish more players would take this advice. The amount of players in my alliance that ops up too fastthen moan when they struggle with content really aggravates me
If you set your goals of the game based on 'trying' to play catch up/rivalry then you are not necessarily going to have fun, though I'm sure many do. Personally, setting long term goals and using short term waypoint goals allow me to enjoy the game the way I want to play it. It's expected to be a long term game (investing years of your life) anyway. I completely disregard power levels of rivals and focus my power based on the content. Just play it the way you enjoy.
I stay 44. I dominate my slb brackets. I have so much still to do and lvl up, why move into a more competitive bracket? I dont push to 45 bc i have heard from other players who recently pushed to 45 that 45 gets pushed into higher slb brackets on many events, competing with players as high as 50 in some cases. Camping at 45 seems logical except for that reason. Scopley is trying to push lvl. 45's into the 46-49 levels.
Hey rev whats your views on the store credits this month, struggling to get enough to unlock the extra commander slot, this common among players or have i missed out on some events, haven't placed that well in slb but think I've done every sms
They keep releasing ships that require multiple months to unlock, hostiles that require stronger ships and crews and then get stingy with the event store currency. All while having level based paywalls... yet they wonder why we don't level up faster. Here's the deal scopely, if you get me 59k more event store currency so I can get the 3rd commander slot and put the $50 G dock back in my store, I'll buy a pack and level up my ops. Deal?
Thanks for the chart to all contributors. Wondering if the xindi system leveling impacts camping at 49 now? How does going to ops 50 effect your ability to grind temporal disruptors?
I recently came back to the game, been playing for about a month? Ish. I'm level 24 my only building upgrade left is my ops in around 4 hours. My problem is I'm unsure if I should be going up. I have tons of research left. I think I might have rushed to 24 and I vaguely remember not even knowing I should be researching for ages lol. My question is really should I stay at 24 and min max like you said? What is camping at a level and when does it become not camping? I'm sorry about all the questions lol
The biggest factor that dictates whether a player camps or doesn't is their spending habits. Heavy spenders can definitely bypass the hardships that force camping.
If most of the population is under 40, to get over that hump Scopely need to get their heads out of their completely detached from reality asses and improve the economy instead of packs, packs, packs. There is making money and then there is naked greed. I do agree with your video though. It is better to be thick at your level, rather than thin at a higher ops level.
Revs the true peoples champ. Where others ccs are pushing what scopely want kissing there ass ‘we dont recommend camping’ This man here is actually helping people enjoy the game not fall fear of FOMO Finish one loop then start the other Keep it up rev
"Running the content at my Ops level" is definitely what Scopely is not understanding in trying to push folks to Ops40. In order for me to Ops up past 35, I'll need to lock in my routine for my Voyager, Defiant, and Mantis. If they want me to Ops up faster, they need to make those grinds, even just for the ships, faster. Acquiring those ships can/should still be a grind, but they could: - Enable a Double/Triple pull on Voyager (with less and less relic efficiency, of course), - Add weekly availability on the Mantis through a separate event (a PvP one would be interesting) or Cosmic Cleanup, and - Reduce the price of the Defiant in the faction store so that it can actually be daily-pulled from top-quartile Ops35s. - Alternatively, on the Defiant, they could add a second blueprint source in the faction store that pays 1 blueprint for x Credits or Badges. I'm fine with ship acquisition being time-consuming and grindy, but as I'm going to wait until I've done the content at my ops level, doing things like reducing my time to get the content by months seems like a good way to get me to Ops up months earlier (while, I suspect, not significantly changing the math for people who will just buy the ships anyway). All that said, they could also actually pay out enough event store currency, but I think we all know that one by now.
Sitting at OPS 50 while I collect G5 broken, G5 trickle from 7 day chests, and improve ships a bit. New arc Tuesday coming, I can go up with 1 x 7 day, 3 x 30 day, and keys for 1 treasury...might wait another month. 180-190k fed and rom cred, 490k kling but need rep to kling lock at a billion. That's the 1 more month, be ready for that Vorcha
I pushed to ops 40 about 2 weeks ago. I made the decision to ops up not based on power (24M) but because I was already doing content designed for ops 40: silent hostiles, Gorn, and could takeout a Xindi survey ship.
JusT started out a new game, are you aware they now give new players an OPS 15 'chase' event - get OPS 15 and complete various events get 4x7 day peace shields and 1x 30 day peace shield as well as full unlocks of Gordon, Nero and Kirk. Also they are putting new players into old servers now - top guy on my server is 555 million power. Great video btw, thanks.
I just started yesterday , trying to understand these videos but they assume a lot of knowledge already. Which i understand better to cater to the people already playing. I am planning to get to 14 and then sit and try to understand the game a bit more , i bought one 5 $ extra station builder to get the Picard bonus. What i dont understand so far is how do i find faction missions , and can i just float around and quest at the planets all day ?
im currently ops33 working on maxing my research and buildings and need max my centi and need 95k fed credit for the enty and need get the mats saved for the buildings to get to a lv34 shipyard but need enty full bps first so then i can jump to shipyard lv34 and build the enty tho is there a point maxing my centi when i can easily do my dailys faction and swarms hostiles maybe better to save that gas and use it on research lol the game is full of choices oh and the camp at ops34 to get your dvor and baby franklin ready for the lv35 ships tallios and freesha
I "camped" at 49 because I was so short on rare gas. I've finally put 50 in the oven but I'm not rushing it yet because I want a Tribune and I don't have the BPs yet. I'm also the most powerful 49 on my server and will be one of the top 25 lvl50s as soon as I move up. I play the game at my pace and don't struggle to complete anything.
I took alt from 39 to 40 for Bajor material refinery. Seemed to work. Right now main is 49 and advancing because I want 50 to scrap the 6 or 7 G3 epics I have maxed
I use the cube in G 6 area as my main daily hostile grind. because his repair Bill is the cheapest one Every G6 Player should try to level up his cube. as high as possible.
If you’re in the high 50’s and contemplating going north of 60, keep in mind that there is no equivalent to the Freebooters for higher levels. That means you’ll still need to hit freebooters AND those higher level hostiles to make your dailies. Plus, with everything more expensive up there…. I just hit 59 recently thanks to a well timed vault. I’ll get to 60 eventually but no plans to go further.
I finally found the stats for the exocomp. It wasn't originally in their announcement. It shouldn't be hard to find if they want people to buy it. Also, I'm ops 49. The info that i can see only goes to ops 50, so I'm only encouraged to move up one level? 🤷♂️ They should give that exocomp free to people 39- if they really want people to move up. Although everyone would still deal with officer and ship issues. Also just saw the note that this is to prepare for future content releases. Does that mean Scopely is moving their focus to G5 and above and G4 will be ignored soon?
The issue has been the same since the start and as the minority of pay to play reaches ever higher demanding more content. They pull further away from the average player which means much of it gets little interaction. This also has rendered sections of the game void like territory capture which is either the alliances with high level players taking over or diplomatic servers where everything is divided on a rota with no actual fighting. Do the star stations even battle anymore? No idea no one talks about it. Even the incursion just sees most shield and log off. It’s frustrating that they won’t pull the price point to the average player and have just got lazy off the small player base at the top.
on this battle pass milestones mats have been the best in my opinion but the ESC has been abysmal would of preferred the esc on milestones over them new ones for the new arc officers i have a feeling them mats will be very low on the next arc considering mats refinery not that great tho credit for this BP milestones for arcs not the best and on camping i think if you have all buildings and research maxed ya good time to go up in ops but have to take into consideration the increase in event points this my input
If you don't have everything done right at 39 before going to 40. You may not be able to do the new content anyway. Plus 40 content can be a leap not a step from 39.
Server 89 I am being forced to camp at level 39 because I don't have a ship to get the ascension key. It's going to be months before I can get it. I'm doing well at 39, but I could be doing better if not for the lousy ship bps costing so much ,and the basically horrible RNG I have had for officers. I think I will be ops 39 until sometime next year as a f2p player.
i am fixing to go from 39-41. the recommendation of m score 80 is wild to me. the stella researches really dont seem that great anymore. m score of 80 seems a bit high.
So if you don't like to buy resources then i have to ask. Do you buy the monthly resource pack or does Scopely provide it for free? i always see on your video resource colleting ready to claim but you say you have not spent money in the game at all in quite a while. So, do you buy them or are you lying? sorry but resource packs are not free they cost $99.99 for each month of them. Just a question of a viewer that wants honest answers.
Honestly i regret moving into the 50's im a light spender as in i only do the main bp, can i progress in the 50's sure ... can i source officers win events not a chance. Also the grind to hoard mats to progress in the 50's is really long . Hope this helps someone out there .
A very very dirty move by scopely to even mention that people need to level up! How fucked up that is from a company to even suggest it! Their true colors are been coming out since this year! People need to wake up and just say no.
Rev please don't get me wrong sir but every time they come out with a new pack our new content here we are saying it's not that great but still there yet you're promoting it😂
It's a bit of a slap in the face when Scopely tells us to level up faster WHILE AT THE SAME TIME pushing out so many new things that take away resources including the number 1 resource needed...time. Scopely is shooting itself in the foot and continue to be stuck in the circle drain. Im only complaining because i love the game and its community. But right now im going from a $200 - $300 a month player to just the original $20 Battlepass. It's just to much to keep up on now.
Camping at 53 myself stockpiling for the push to 56, the leaderboards are brutal, I just cannot even come close to competing with ops 57+ players, let alone the g6 players who are still in the same bracket for most leaderboards.
They should add another researcher and builder, including for the ftp players. If the ftp or low spenders take too long on research and buildings, then they will level up slower. If they want people to get higher level, they should increase the speed lower level people get there. I have so much lat because I have to take it slow because of research and building, so no point in spending it.
As long as you can do dailies and events you are fine. Comparing yourself to a leaderboard of “power” where literally none of those people above or beneath you influence your game is dumb.
Hey, and it's completely okay to feel that way! Everyone plays the game their own way. I'd say most players def disagree with you, but that doesn't make you wrong. This is a very subjective.. well... subject. :P
@@RevDeuce Fair enough. My point is I can camp at Ops 50 and have the most "power" on all servers and it won't matter. An Ops 53 with less power and an uncommon G5 will destroy every ship I have. :P
Heck I just made Ops 60... No way I'm moving up. Finally got to a position where the leaderboards are not ridiculous so it would be stupid for to move up.
"Don't ops up because of content" I've had to coach several players in my alliance for doing so well before they were ready bc they were too weak to advanced to do it
You got camping and min/maxing backwards. Min/max is where you focus on 1 skill or 1 goal, do minimum for everything else and maximum toward that 1 thing. Camping is waiting at a single spot till you've completed everything. Camping bad, min/max good.

Well said!
Now this is a Rev video. Great video Rev and good points of view.
Glad you liked it!
One big benefit of camping is it allows F2P an opportunity to be more competitive against the spenders in SLBs.
I’ve been looking forward to an update to this!
I am ops 39. I want to be ready in every way when I go to ops 40. I have always heard, you have to spend more above ops 39 because of road blocks. Scopely pushes you towards higher ops so you will spend more sooner. I am very thankful for the Rev deuce Ops 39 checklist.
I don’t spend and I’m at ops 49
Camping at 39 is a terrible idea though because of missing out on three months of speedups every single week from the Discovery.
That chart is putting work in, maximum effort. Thanks for creating and updating
Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your forthright opinions. I appreciate it.
My pleasure!
The comparison site is awesome. As a new lvl 50 player, I’ll take 5th on my server & 294th in the game.
This is really helpful to me, I’ve pushed to ops 42 to bump the next tier lock on my ships and make progress but think I need to sit here and go for higher faction unlocks next to get stronger faction ships 😎👍
Great video rev, we all know scopely wants us to level up so we end up buying more packs as the economy is just not good enough and even if you did rush ops Where's the officers coming from? Even more packs is what scopely is saying so always chill and go up when ready
Excellent video, as always 🙂 Both Master Ops & compare levels are brilliant and will use them loads. Cheers mate 🙂
Inportant question , whats the point leveling up? The power diff is so big i se no point at all
I'm more concerned with the serious issues we have playing the game, the lags, failure to target hostiles I.e retrieving or windows spin circle constantly, those who paid for yet another upgrade get rewarded tonight, those that don't continue to get screwed over by the developers
Great video. I'm the 2nd strongest 51 on my server. No desire to move up until I've wrapped up a few loose ends.
I am curren;lt third on my server I tend not to move up unless I am getting paid. Like the feature officer in a new arc
@@Xpac8479 exactly.

Getting ready to push into the 40s... Are the level 42 ships worth getting, or should I hold out for the rare and/or epics?
I would get at least one!
@@RevDeuce thanks, I appreciate the input. Do you by chance have a video out on which of the ships would be recommended going through the 40s?

Scopely gives away borg cube, will they refund chits spent on the cube?
Hey rev whats your views on the store credits this month, struggling to get enough to unlock the extra commander slot, this common among players or have i missed out on some events, haven't placed that well in slb but think I've done every sms
It's the worst paying event store we've ever had
They keep releasing ships that require multiple months to unlock, hostiles that require stronger ships and crews and then get stingy with the event store currency. All while having level based paywalls... yet they wonder why we don't level up faster.
Here's the deal scopely, if you get me 59k more event store currency so I can get the 3rd commander slot and put the $50 G dock back in my store, I'll buy a pack and level up my ops. Deal?
Exactly this! There was one single thing I wanted in that event store but they didn't give enough to buy it.
Thanks for the chart to all contributors. Wondering if the xindi system leveling impacts camping at 49 now? How does going to ops 50 effect your ability to grind temporal disruptors?
Xindi and Silent grinds didn't affect me at all in terms of leveling and where I go.

This man here is actually helping people enjoy the game not fall fear of FOMO
Finish one loop then start the other
Keep it up rev
Where can I find a list of what research I should have done for each level?
"Running the content at my Ops level" is definitely what Scopely is not understanding in trying to push folks to Ops40. In order for me to Ops up past 35, I'll need to lock in my routine for my Voyager, Defiant, and Mantis. If they want me to Ops up faster, they need to make those grinds, even just for the ships, faster.
Acquiring those ships can/should still be a grind, but they could:
- Enable a Double/Triple pull on Voyager (with less and less relic efficiency, of course),
- Add weekly availability on the Mantis through a separate event (a PvP one would be interesting) or Cosmic Cleanup, and
- Reduce the price of the Defiant in the faction store so that it can actually be daily-pulled from top-quartile Ops35s.
- Alternatively, on the Defiant, they could add a second blueprint source in the faction store that pays 1 blueprint for x Credits or Badges.
I'm fine with ship acquisition being time-consuming and grindy, but as I'm going to wait until I've done the content at my ops level, doing things like reducing my time to get the content by months seems like a good way to get me to Ops up months earlier (while, I suspect, not significantly changing the math for people who will just buy the ships anyway).
All that said, they could also actually pay out enough event store currency, but I think we all know that one by now.
Im all for this. it would be easy to add defiant to the away team store for like 3000 credits a blueprint or something.
Great video thanks rev 🖖😁
Glad you enjoyed it
Sitting at OPS 50 while I collect G5 broken, G5 trickle from 7 day chests, and improve ships a bit. New arc Tuesday coming, I can go up with 1 x 7 day, 3 x 30 day, and keys for 1 treasury...might wait another month. 180-190k fed and rom cred, 490k kling but need rep to kling lock at a billion. That's the 1 more month, be ready for that Vorcha
Thanks Again, Rev
I'm ops 39
10 days from ops 40
most of my ships are maxed
30M Power, I think is good for my level
Pretty strong, yup!
@RevDeuce
just checked my rank
650 for ops 39
2 for server 159
I'm happy with my game play.
Stella research is maxed at 99 and rep is maxed
that's awesome, and like i tried to say in this video, THATS the point. You're having fun and you're happy!
How do you upgrade g2 minerals? I’m only seeing g2’s. I’m level 18 refiner
I pushed to ops 40 about 2 weeks ago. I made the decision to ops up not based on power (24M) but because I was already doing content designed for ops 40: silent hostiles, Gorn, and could takeout a Xindi survey ship.
I watch your stuff regularly. how do i do section 31?
JusT started out a new game, are you aware they now give new players an OPS 15 'chase' event - get OPS 15 and complete various events get 4x7 day peace shields and 1x 30 day peace shield as well as full unlocks of Gordon, Nero and Kirk.
Also they are putting new players into old servers now - top guy on my server is 555 million power.
Great video btw, thanks.
I am aware, yes!
I just started yesterday , trying to understand these videos but they assume a lot of knowledge already. Which i understand better to cater to the people already playing. I am planning to get to 14 and then sit and try to understand the game a bit more , i bought one 5 $ extra station builder to get the Picard bonus. What i dont understand so far is how do i find faction missions , and can i just float around and quest at the planets all day ?
im currently ops33 working on maxing my research and buildings and need max my centi and need 95k fed credit for the enty and need get the mats saved for the buildings to get to a lv34 shipyard but need enty full bps first so then i can jump to shipyard lv34 and build the enty tho is there a point maxing my centi when i can easily do my dailys faction and swarms hostiles maybe better to save that gas and use it on research lol the game is full of choices oh and the camp at ops34 to get your dvor and baby franklin ready for the lv35 ships tallios and freesha
Thanks, in process of going to Ops 36 but staying until I get my Augurs and Enterprises on both my account
Where can you get or download that master chart??
im lv42 and i started upgrading OPS a month ago- honestly i would realllllly want to undo/pause that building
Thanks for the video, now im at ops48. Aim for ops50 and camp there 😂🎉
Have fun! That' the key!
@@RevDeuce agree 👍
I "camped" at 49 because I was so short on rare gas. I've finally put 50 in the oven but I'm not rushing it yet because I want a Tribune and I don't have the BPs yet. I'm also the most powerful 49 on my server and will be one of the top 25 lvl50s as soon as I move up. I play the game at my pace and don't struggle to complete anything.
I took alt from 39 to 40 for Bajor material refinery. Seemed to work. Right now main is 49 and advancing because I want 50 to scrap the 6 or 7 G3 epics I have maxed
Scoply "ops up"
Players "make a product that is worth it and not a money grab"
I use the cube in G 6 area as my main daily hostile grind. because his repair Bill is the cheapest one Every G6 Player should try to level up his cube. as high as possible.
Server 92 isn't listed. I want to see how I fare at my ops.
If you’re in the high 50’s and contemplating going north of 60, keep in mind that there is no equivalent to the Freebooters for higher levels. That means you’ll still need to hit freebooters AND those higher level hostiles to make your dailies. Plus, with everything more expensive up there….
I just hit 59 recently thanks to a well timed vault. I’ll get to 60 eventually but no plans to go further.
I finally found the stats for the exocomp. It wasn't originally in their announcement. It shouldn't be hard to find if they want people to buy it. Also, I'm ops 49. The info that i can see only goes to ops 50, so I'm only encouraged to move up one level? 🤷♂️ They should give that exocomp free to people 39- if they really want people to move up. Although everyone would still deal with officer and ship issues.
Also just saw the note that this is to prepare for future content releases. Does that mean Scopely is moving their focus to G5 and above and G4 will be ignored soon?
I’m soft camping at 44 till get the blueprints for 46 ships. But am on bottom of page 1 on stfc leaderboards 😅
The issue has been the same since the start and as the minority of pay to play reaches ever higher demanding more content. They pull further away from the average player which means much of it gets little interaction. This also has rendered sections of the game void like territory capture which is either the alliances with high level players taking over or diplomatic servers where everything is divided on a rota with no actual fighting. Do the star stations even battle anymore? No idea no one talks about it. Even the incursion just sees most shield and log off. It’s frustrating that they won’t pull the price point to the average player and have just got lazy off the small player base at the top.
Maybe at lvl 50 and beyond, LET US START TRADING IN WORTHLESS INVENTORY/CURRENCIES!!!! Thumbs up on the video though.
50, for me is a camp because the SLB brackets beyond this are too competitive.
I then expect 51 to be a Go and 52 to be a Slow (but we shall see).
on this battle pass milestones mats have been the best in my opinion but the ESC has been abysmal would of preferred the esc on milestones over them new ones for the new arc officers i have a feeling them mats will be very low on the next arc considering mats refinery not that great tho credit for this BP milestones for arcs not the best and on camping i think if you have all buildings and research maxed ya good time to go up in ops but have to take into consideration the increase in event points this my input
They DID improve the mat/rss payouts this month for the battlepass. but, on the flip side, no event store currency :(
@@RevDeuce ya i hope they improve in the future i do like the idea for new arc officers to but not during an event store
Haha, that pack doesn't get me anywhere close to the next ops level...so nope
Why I'm not going up: 1. Rare cores; 2. Officers are harder to get
If you don't have everything done right at 39 before going to 40. You may not be able to do the new content anyway. Plus 40 content can be a leap not a step from 39.
Server 89 I am being forced to camp at level 39 because I don't have a ship to get the ascension key. It's going to be months before I can get it.
I'm doing well at 39, but I could be doing better if not for the lousy ship bps costing so much ,and the basically horrible RNG I have had for officers.
I think I will be ops 39 until sometime next year as a f2p player.
It's certainly a lot of game. I'm confused where to spend all these currencies I keep getting. It can be confusing where to go to use them. :)
i am fixing to go from 39-41. the recommendation of m score 80 is wild to me. the stella researches really dont seem that great anymore. m score of 80 seems a bit high.
So if you don't like to buy resources then i have to ask. Do you buy the monthly resource pack or does Scopely provide it for free? i always see on your video resource colleting ready to claim but you say you have not spent money in the game at all in quite a while. So, do you buy them or are you lying? sorry but resource packs are not free they cost $99.99 for each month of them. Just a question of a viewer that wants honest answers.
i am sitting at 45 with ops already building and enough mats to get me to ops51. idk what to do :/

Honestly i regret moving into the 50's im a light spender as in i only do the main bp, can i progress in the 50's sure ... can i source officers win events not a chance. Also the grind to hoard mats to progress in the 50's is really long . Hope this helps someone out there .
Rev the level 25 camp link takes me to a level 35 camp video
A very very dirty move by scopely to even mention that people need to level up! How fucked up that is from a company to even suggest it! Their true colors are been coming out since this year! People need to wake up and just say no.
I could not find the spread sheet
@revduece Down below where?
Research is my playstyle
PvP in 30s was much more enjoyable than in 40s and even though I am not fan of PvP, I am affraid that in 50s it will be even rarer.
Rev please don't get me wrong sir but every time they come out with a new pack our new content here we are saying it's not that great but still there yet you're promoting it😂
Okay yes I do agree the current events store is kind of booty but the mirror arc I have to say I'm enjoying the rewards from the research 💯
How am I promoting it? I've literally said I don't like it and I'm not getting it. =/
im the 5th strongest lv33 on my server 402 i have what i call a roadmap now from ops33 to ops35 next time il update it is at ops35
It's a bit of a slap in the face when Scopely tells us to level up faster WHILE AT THE SAME TIME pushing out so many new things that take away resources including the number 1 resource needed...time.
Scopely is shooting itself in the foot and continue to be stuck in the circle drain.
Im only complaining because i love the game and its community. But right now im going from a $200 - $300 a month player to just the original $20 Battlepass. It's just to much to keep up on now.
Camping at 53 myself stockpiling for the push to 56, the leaderboards are brutal, I just cannot even come close to competing with ops 57+ players, let alone the g6 players who are still in the same bracket for most leaderboards.
Just the leaderboards? I'm ops53 and have a hard time getting past first tier on saturday spend SMS
They should add another researcher and builder, including for the ftp players. If the ftp or low spenders take too long on research and buildings, then they will level up slower. If they want people to get higher level, they should increase the speed lower level people get there. I have so much lat because I have to take it slow because of research and building, so no point in spending it.
Way easier to increase Ops level than it is to acquire new ships which become available.
As long as you can do dailies and events you are fine. Comparing yourself to a leaderboard of “power” where literally none of those people above or beneath you influence your game is dumb.
Hey, and it's completely okay to feel that way! Everyone plays the game their own way. I'd say most players def disagree with you, but that doesn't make you wrong. This is a very subjective.. well... subject. :P
@@RevDeuce Fair enough. My point is I can camp at Ops 50 and have the most "power" on all servers and it won't matter. An Ops 53 with less power and an uncommon G5 will destroy every ship I have. :P
But, that's not true, as I destroy G5 uncommons all the time.
Heck I just made Ops 60... No way I'm moving up. Finally got to a position where the leaderboards are not ridiculous so it would be stupid for to move up.
Pay to win chart for those lists of power by level.
"Don't ops up because of content" I've had to coach several players in my alliance for doing so well before they were ready bc they were too weak to advanced to do it
Camping at 59 ,Until things get better.
3:34 can you filter the leaderboards to irl cash spent? lmao
No, you cannot, as that data is not public.
I want to be the next John Connor (hardcore Ops 39 player).
@@shazbots it's gets monotonous and boring
It would be great if they would stop being stingy on ship frags. Getting one ship bp for a g4 miner or warships. Not wait months or years
You got camping and min/maxing backwards. Min/max is where you focus on 1 skill or 1 goal, do minimum for everything else and maximum toward that 1 thing.
Camping is waiting at a single spot till you've completed everything.
Camping bad, min/max good.
i want to min/max your face with hugs/kisses
@@RevDeuce cute names for your fists 😅
Woah
