My tier 3 cube gets 200% from a lvl 30 swarm in Von system, then i use them both in Xerxes system and repeat. 1 hit with the beam can kill some lvl 33 hostiles. My cube does 50.000 hull damage with 1 shot, but it would take too long to jump that far away everytime. At tier 2 i could fully charge it in Ortek system with a lvl 28 swarm, but the beam also did less damage. I can also fully charge at tier 3 from a single lvl 27 Exchange Transport hostile in Valance system for example.
@stoicacostel1683 - Are you asking how to get the dual beam perk? It's a ship retrofit for the Borg Cube called "Binary Cutter". It's essentially a ship skin that you can buy from the web store. Although, I just checked my instance of the game and I can't seem to see it, but I assume that's because I've already purchased it. I hope this helps!
Hi so tried this with loot crew on my t5 cube as well and works, but ive started going to lvl 36 vanir, above azati, get a little bit more loot and i can still 1 shot hostiles 👍
Nice! It does take a bit of trial and error to find similar systems/scenarios when you start tiering up the cube. Mine hit T6 and I'm loading up the beam @ Siieqa, and hitting @ Stradania for now. The joys of growing pains. :)
@@taurhus lol yeah i know what you mean currently getting my valdor to t6 so i can tier cube up to t6 as well and interesting ill keep those systems in mind 👍
Can someone tell me how to get a Borg data node tier 3? I cant find it in the store, and I dont know if there is another way to acquire. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
@rizz917 - Unfortunately, the Cube is tier locked to your faction ship(s); I can't quite remember which one is the tier 3, but for example, my Cube is locked and I can't get the next data node until I tier up my Tribune to T8. You can find out by docking your Cube and going to "Upgrade", then tap on the "Borg Data Node" in your components. That should pop up a screen saying something along the lines of (in my case) "Claim the Borg Data Node Tier 9 ... after upgrading the Tribune, Ent-A, or Hegh-ta to Tier 8..." So, I can't tier up my Cube until I meet the Tribune Tier 8 requirement, so you're hitting up against that same limit for now. It's a pain, but I hope this helps!
@ I am at a much lower level than you, I think. When I try to upgrade my cube, it says I cannot gain access to the Borg data node until I upgrade my operations to level 36. I just did that, but I am unable to find where this data node is to access it, or acquired. Very frustrating, in general, it feels like there are so many things that I'm missing with the game which could make it more enjoyable.
Hmm... Let me do some digging around and see if I can get some more info for you then. I do know that the Cube is the toughest one to upgrade, but it also has the potential to be the strongest ship in the game, which I think is why they make is so damned rough to move up.
@rizz917 - Here are a couple of resources that I use heavily with the game that may help you as well. I know I've been lazy on creating new vids on some stuff, but I'm hoping to get back to that soon. Check your "Gifts" tab as well as the "Borg Tech" in your Refineries to see if the OPS 36 unlock gift is in there. If I recall, I received the Data Nodes in either one of those when the requirements are met for each tier upgrade of the cube and I think hitting OPS 36 "should" open that up for you.. then that's when the ship tier locks start kicking in.

@@taurhus I am super appreciative of this, thank you very much. I'm gonna spend some time digging through everything. It's available, I just don't know where it is. Or if it's even still available, which I can't imagine it not being. Again, thanks a bunch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's a refit ($$$) that adds the additional beam, otherwise, yes.. it's a single shot per charge without that refit. I no longer see it in my store, but if you can find it, the refit is called "Binary Cutter". I hope this helps and thank you for checking in!!
Youll be likely getting a pilum soon so those interceptor parts will be needed in large quantities
Picked it up not too long ago.. I love it! Also picked up the Tribune and some G5's - Northcutt and Corvus. Parts are killing me!!
Knowing that is so useful because I can upgrade two ships at the same time.
Right?! I didn't even realize this until I was making my original video.. LOL! Thank you for checking in, I appreciate you!

Good info, thank you for sharing! Seems there's plenty of ways to "hack" the beam :)
What double set for the beam ?

My beam only charges to 100 not 200. Is there research I am missing??
