As a 14 camper, I can verify much can be accomplished even at this low level. Just takes time in the game. Biggest jumps in performance were gaining a Jelly and opening those standard recruit chests to max Chen and bringing the others there up as well. A very functional hostile crew hitting appropriate 32s and below with ease. Dual Faction grinding to consort gives those less expensive officer chests and in greater numbers to build up those support officers to help. After that, it’s just what you choose to spend time on and gather for the future. Level 28/30/32 ship blueprints drop, frequency modulators can be reasonably gathered for multiple Franklin tiers, 3 star ship parts, and millions in those 3* resources each while completing daily goals and ever higher missions until you just need that bigger ship lol (upper 20s recommend level). For me, the biggest drawback is not having access to most events and other gameplay, which can be very important for increasing. But for a sporadic player that never knows what time can be devoted to play (or even getting on to maintain shields), camping at 14 is a viable option for at least PvE enjoyment while also expecting to spend less time at your next camping level of 19 till increasing from there
@@Mellowyellow8888 personally I found that the level I wished to take each faction to for Fed/Klingon/Rom was dependent on what red hostiles I could actually win against to complete my daily goals for faction hostiles destroyed. My Primary reason to even bother with factions at a lower level were to get the rewards from the faction daily goals completions whether mining or hostiles. Faction credits to use with ever cheaper faction recruit chests foremost. Everything at lower levels becomes disposable except officers
Sitting at lvl 29 now trying to get caught up on my research trees. Wishing I had learned this back when I was lower leveled but I rushed to get other goals. Now I’m steel-less and don’t have enough rss to keep my builds up. Just gonna sit here for a while now to get caught up.
Depending on how long you plan on camping at 14, you might accrue enough resources to max all three of the 2* ships and have plenty left over for multiple Envoys. They all helped me in one way or another. Also, by the time I got to the point where I could start refining G3, I had more than 2M raw gas stockpiled. The one downside was that by the time I found your vids about dual-faction grinding, it was too late to catch anything up. But I'm currently closing in on the tri-lock at 30, so it's all good now.
I stopped at level 31 to get caught up on my ships. Trying to max them all then go back and finish up my research trees then go back to station. Sure I do 1 here and there but my primary focus is the ship's & officers.
this was very kind of you to post! thank you! I inadvertently camped out (because I was fed up) and after 2 weeks of just doing dailies and nothing else, I was really surprised at how I was able to save up! I’ll just enjoy sitting at 29 a little longer. Thank you!
member of my alliance has been camped at 29 for a while. places toward the top in many of the leader boards and is mostly F2P. also locked 3 factions. i was at 29 for a while also. great camp.
Great Video Rev. Just wish I'd found you when I was lower level, am at 35 and getting rss is a real headache. Going to sit here and build up those officers and research
This has been a great video for me!😁 Before I saw it I decided to camp @ lvl 14 on my own because, I felt I rushed the very early game and missed a lot. I Went looking for info and found it here. Keep up the great work!! Thanks😏
Hello & thanks a bunch! New the game and this video was a Great help!😁 Keep up the great work. This not only saves me time but, it gives me a lot to think about.
Your server completed the server milestones already?? Ours hasn't even gotten to the first milestone... We had no problems at all in any of the previous server milestone events... Related to this video: you gotta be aware that a lot of players don't have the luxury to be in a big powerful alliance. "Do all territory research" good luck if the only way to get particles is to leave your alliance every now and then to visit other friendly ones. "Max your stella" hopefully you got a big friend to help with rare eclipse, rare eclipse loot is crazy difficult to get. Anyway, great advice again thanks! Shared to my alliance mates, many of them can use it XD
I wanted to add a tip that was not mentioned here, or anywhere else. Be aware, once you go from 27 to 28, you will instantly be bumped up into a really high category for dailies. I just hit 28, and now I have to compete with level 44s on those kind of missions. I cannot in any way compete with them lol, so be prepared to not win any more of those. The officer/base/research recruit and upgrade latinum events were a big source of my matterials and latinum.
I've been camped at 29 for some time on EU-156. The problem you have with the camping there and trying to max your Stella is you will get bored in the time it takes for the Refinery to spit out the G3 Crystal you need (particularly if working on maxing a Horizon and Vi'Dar too). As a side project I picked up a Centurion from the Romulans and took it to tier 3 so far. I'm aware that it's gonna affect my G3 Gas pile but it gives me a toy to play with and a nasty surprise for when bigger players bring 4m D4s to crack my base. (Who knew, the Centurion and Saladin's defensive buff... it's cumulative lol)
Respectfully request a video with example of daily grinding schedule. What hostile levels, areas, etc. More in depth would be great! Thanks for your awesome training videos!!
I still think it's better to grind and lock one faction first, then dual faction the other two. And spend all extra latinum buying standard recruit packs. For me, the Bortas rules! I max out all officers. And now it is paying off with away missions.
I modified the 19 camp to a 20 camp. Maxed one of each 2* warship and currently leveling them up. I also have 3 Northstars and 3BBs 2 of the NS are maxed so warp 40 ships great for reaching the 25k 3* nodes and with Aarok you can help out the mining Monday ALB by grabbing a few shiploads of Concentrated Latinum and it will definitely padd that ALB score out of a 40 person alliance of mainly mid 20s to low 30s my 20 is typically 4th place with about 2 hours of active mining. And will hold second for most of Monday(I can't out perform my lvl 32 account. I also got 3 BBs because I can get the largest cargo bay on them at this level ( I know it is slow but either weekly or every update/maintenance I get a uncommon Plutonium) and I can typically raid bases very easily with them. I also have a maxed 3*common interceptor ( can remember the name) but I can comfortably hit 32 battleships. Looking at tri faction lock and transporter patterns before I level past 20 but I reserve the right to change that decision if I get too impatient. Right now maxed on structure and research but building and scrapping Envoys.
You're a great talker and entertainer I always enjoyed your channel. Good for you for sticking with Star Trek. I moved on from STFC (maybe you want my old account?) and now I'm playing EA Play games but mostly Battlefield 5. Maybe you should branch out and get more viewers. Battlefield is so hard and a challenge because it's not only tactics and strategies, but hand/eye coordination. Battlefield 6 will be coming out soon. All the best to you.
Been stuck at 28 forever...do the grind for the 3* as early as possible and always make sure your research is done. If you do nothing else he reccomends get those 2 things done will save you much headaches later
The only suggestion/disagreement on pre 35 Iock would suggest is the kvort. The larger cargo hold for raids and the increased crystal mining (at t5) vs horizion helps pay for itself. I would suggest this ship as soon as you can build.
I am level 38 was planning to rush to 39 & get my Jelly built. But with this update i had to spend so much time & speed ups for the away team stuff. So it slowed me down big time.
Saladin is the best, but Centurion is the new meta I think because of all those other ships needing frickin crystal all the time. Not only Vidar and Horizon, but also - if you side with the Klinguns - the D3 for cheap cloaking and not much later the Amalgam (even though that one needs more ore than crystal).
I tried a few weeks ago a fresh account, and it is absolutely no problem to level Phindra, Turas and Talla all the same. If you focus a bit on events and have a BP running, you are dumped on with all the T2 Gas / Ore / Crystal you need. The Daily Tokens should be kept back as long as possible - you can keep them around until you gathered enough for the D'vor anyway.
Battlepass is useless on an Ops 14. There's NOTHING to do. My 14 and 29 are on the same server and it's a joke how little they care about lower levels.
This is a very challenging game at these levels since this is where I've been for the last year. Incursions gets me killed, new armadas get me killed and it's hard to unlock officers being FTP. I wish scopely would incentives us because I'm finding fewer and fewer players in the lower 20's now because no one wants to muscle it out since every update favors 30 plus commanders.
DeBrie ... Love it! I am tempted to start a new game, loved early game, end game (lvl 38/39) is such a slog to do anything and not as much 'fun' as when I was blapping stuff with my blue Jelly
if you get the jelly between 12-14 it's really not hard to get 1 mil 3* rss. Put Cadet Scotty on the Jelly and get to P'jem, Rator, and Morska. Then you can move your base there and park your fortunate on a 3* gas, crystal, or ore node all day. no one will be able to hit you.
I found the resources research and daily quests you won't notice at first but in the long run ow my word such a pay off grinding them pasificalie storage delithuim and keep focus on lower independent mssns till you got the ships lvl
So, my question is, I am currently level 31, do you recommend that I stay at 31 and max my base (easy) and ships (hard) and plug away at the efficiency and combat research? I am what you call free to play, so the battlepass and the odd extra like the second builder and not much else. Tried to be smart so far and built the speciality ships and one level 28 faction ship. None of them are maxed yet. Thanks!
Hi Rev, I'm currently moving to ops 32 and have about 200k rare credits saved up. Should I start opening chests when I reach 32 to try and get epic ship BPs? Or is the drop rate for them higher at 33 34?
Ops 25 camping is op Maxed kirk nero t4 gork Maxed all 9 faction rares t3 of the other 4 main epics Maxed vidar at 900-950k And many more things ops 25 for 9 months is basically everything in the game so highly recommend
I was going to camp at 14 but this event you can get a northstar , so im going to camp at 19 instead , i got Chen to tier 2 going to have to be good enough.
Gotta admit new to game played just to play and came to a wall at 12 pushed to 14 bee sitting there for a few days now my biggest gripe besides those pesky uc’s is ship parts……just cant get the ones i want to save my life
So you say to grind faction miners. I’m at 34 right now, and have the anteries through faction store creds. How are you getting faction miners through grinding, best I get are sally, and bortas which I already have. Where are you grinding hostiles for these faction miners?
Hi I’m lvl 33 have not been camping and i came off the game for about two years I’m just going to lvl 34 but I don’t have a lot of the stuff you have said about do I just stay on lvl 34 till I have better ships and officers or do I jump to 35 and stay there until I have most of the stuff you said about?
Just started playing about 3 weeks ago. Am at 17 just got Tallia. I have been grinding up wrong. Where can I find the information so I can do it right.
Wish that I had of known about the importance of dual faction lock my first year in the game or that there were help videos out there. I have been playing since day one and am only now at level 29 close to locking my Fed Rep. Or that I could and should have been choosing to join all three if the factions work on my (Fed. Klingon or Romulan) Rep at one time instead of just choosing Fed. Now at ops 29 I find myself at enemy rep status with both the Klingons and Romulans some 2 million plus in the hole negative rep with each faction. With limited game time is it possible to triple lock and if so how? Missons? Killing Fed Traders? Any thoughts other then bend over and grab the lube?
Use the Vidar to help. You can refine charged nano’s for faction rep. And yes, if you locked Fed, kill Fed traders to bump your Rom rep 👍. Or kill Rom traders to bump your Kling rep
I too didn't dual faction at the start...I was already deeply in the hole with Kling and Rom by the time I found out that strat. I am camping at 25 to lock feds so I can then hit feds to fix kling and rom after. Not as good as dual grinding at start, but I am 3M away from locking feds
My goal is to trifaction lock by level 28 when I get the Saladin; I am only hitting Klings so I work on Fed lock harder...and it is starting fix my hole with Roms... hopefully by the time I lock Feds, I will be positive with Rom and then can hit Feds only to lock both other factions by then
@@triaxe-mmb nothin wrong with alternating 😎. Refine for rep 1 day & keep the cubes the next. I got my Vidar to T6. Saved all the cubes to get there. Then used the cubes for Kling Rep ( was -1M ). Once I dug out Kling, I went back to upgrading Vidar to T7. Now I’m spending half the cubes on Rom Cred for officers.
I am at lever 31 but only federation I should be doing all the others as well but I made a mistake is there a fast way that too farming so l unlock the other factions i'm at nearly unlocked Enterprise that next ship I hope running of ucommon crystal to lock my ship yard at lever 31
So I don't know if this is a similar enough of a subject but I have a question about armadas. So I've been playing with the information that when figuring out if you have enough power to win you need as close to 50% of the target. So when does a player's development start to make that math completely inaccurate? I ask this because I'm a lvl 36 fat dolphin with a tier 6 Enterprise that can easily solo lvl 35 uncommons yet I've watched some of my lower powered players in my alliance struggle as a group to beat a lvl 31 and I don't know what direction to lead them to fix it.
I promise you that won't work. Shield is only thing that does. I'll raid you if your shield is down :P. Good news is dailies give out 24 hours worth of shields.
@@RevDeuce ah, ok. I think I though it was your 26 has like 15k. I'm 30 and getting to promote a bunch of officers and its a huge drain. Has put my faction miner on hold.
@@RevDeuce thanks! So once you clear 25, should I rush build to 29 (required buildings only for 26-28), then camp there and catch up on everything (buildings, research, & crews)? Basically is 29 kind of like 14, where you want to do absolutely everything and then some, or is it again like 25?
@@triaxe-mmb for myself I'm at 29 with a 650k T5 Salad Dish, maxed T4 Vi'dar, Stella, 2 T4 Horizons and 2 D'vors. Have Moreau but not Pike and not a heap of crew stuff. I'm a long way off faction locking at the moment though - still working on the 2nd mil of fed rep. I think I'd take everything in this video apart from Crew as good. as soon as I come top 3 in events requiring effort I usually level up.
Sitting on those levels for 1 or 2 years is absolutely true, and a very good idea. I mainly wanted to exit 14 with strong officers and ships. Definitely plan on it. I was 14 for 2 years ( I started a couple months after the game launched). I had leveled everything up, even the jellyfish to max. I did faction rep, got lots of officers and ranked them up, and gained 1.5m in 3* resources and several hundred million in Par, 100m in trit, and 5m in dil. over 100k of each 2* resource (refined) and 20k of each 2* ship part except for survey which is only 10k. I got max Chen before leaving 14, and had at least t2 spock and bones with t1 kirk. I also acquired over 10k faction credits for all three, though that was mostly due to those large compensation chests we were given. Even so, I've maintained 5k Kling and Fed credits. Just reached consort with both of them a few weeks ago. After the Rogue arc, I decided to finally move on. Now I'm at 22 and plan to sit there for a bit. I'm maxing out stuff, or close to it, if I can (mostly research and station). Camp those levels when you can. It's well worth it.
I can't agree with you. I started in Jan and I'm on level 29, winning lat rush each week and placing top 3 in anything requiring effort, while my 3.5m power is lower than alliance mates at 4.9m+. isn't stopping me winning or having fun. plus if you spend too long at a particular level, domination BattlePass events become really difficult.
@@johnhancock3051 what does camping have to do with winning? You're 29 now, I would venture to say you buy packs. I only shared my experience that happens to be almost a repeat of what Rev said. This isn't really so much for pack buyers, but for F2P.
@rebuiltHK47 I've bought 1 month of Battle Pass rewards, a North Star and the 2nd builder. I like Rev's advice generally but being the player in your player group with the smallest, weakest ships sucks. While this month's event arc (and store) kinda suck, focusing on what I needed over nice to haves (Discovery etc) and putting event store funds into ships not crew has helped massively. I level everything needed to move on. Meanwhile you've missed frames, avatars, events and thousands of higher level resources. It's not like your events are dropping 80 G3 gas for top 2 places...sorry if you don't like being told you've stalled for too long but the reality is that in 2021 it isn't worth stalling until 23/25 as long as you can get over the 16-20 hump where maxed P2W Jellyfish and North Stars punch down on weaker players.
@@johnhancock3051 lol It has nothing to do with not liking hearing anything. It's experience. I do much the same you just said. But I don't go for the top SLB because each time it's someone who's dumping $ at the game. And my alliance doesn't reach high in the ALB either. So that's why Rev and I said to figure 1 to 2 year spent on these levels. I never buy anything but the battle pass. I'm not that eager to rush to the 25 spot, nor the 29 spot. I camped at times that were appropriate for what I had and what I was doing. Primarily focusing on officers, ships, and then research and buildings. The first being the primary focus. As I said, my goal was to leave 14 with strong T3 officers, not weak T1 officers. And I did.
I'm jelly about your avatar, my server cant even reach the first milestone. You keep praising the new hostile crew but you seem to forget that it lowers the chances to get tlaan and chen even more. They are harder to get than some epics and the new officers worsen the situation even more. I'm at chen tier3 with 54/80 deep into lvl 30, even purchased common boxes for lat from time to time.
@@adambrady8236 If you know what you're doing you'll have plenty of latinum to spend on maxing Chen. Latinum isn't some cash-only premium currency that you have to hoard, it is a grindable resource and it's easier than ever to get now. Besides, 'hitting separatist bosses' is a lot easier with Chen already maxed. When I had to do it for events without her maxed it cost way more in repairs than the vanishingly small amount of recruit tokens they dropped were worth. I'd never grind there without an event telling me I had to.
If you go F2P route, there is no easy, quick method. But it is very doable at even level 14. Completing the daily goals and from the various chests the recruit tokens and latinum with their stated odds should give you the 300 Chen shards in about 5 years lol. With low level hostile grinding each day, cut that in half. BUT thankfully as said elsewhere, there are many ways to gain those recruit tokens and latinum. Majority of mine came from events, especially those where you can purchase your rewards (recruit tokens 100%), and complete every mission you can. They contain a fair amount. I was able to max my Chen in less than 200 days of actual play time where I didn’t focus on officers for most. Not quick maybe to other games, but not bad in this one where nothing seems fast.
U have no idea what ur talking about. I was at 14 for 2 1/2 years. Only 2 ships I grinded with was twin pahindras and fortunately. Banked tons of 💩 and jumped to 26 in one weekend
@@scottthaxton7983 if you listened he did say that the phindra was a good ship, but it’s the resources needed for better progression, and you said you stayed at 14 for 2.5 years, compared to rev who is a lvl 39, has multiple accounts at different levels.
@@AaronStevensaj he said talla and Taurus are better if camping at 14 of which I was an expert at. And I provided said expert 14 advice. But I'ma firm believer in play how u see fit.
Good stuff per usual. Slow and steady wins the race.

The Daily Tokens should be kept back as long as possible - you can keep them around until you gathered enough for the D'vor anyway.
BP?
@@anichols752 The Battlepass :)
Battlepass is useless on an Ops 14. There's NOTHING to do. My 14 and 29 are on the same server and it's a joke how little they care about lower levels.
This is a very challenging game at these levels since this is where I've been for the last year. Incursions gets me killed, new armadas get me killed and it's hard to unlock officers being FTP. I wish scopely would incentives us because I'm finding fewer and fewer players in the lower 20's now because no one wants to muscle it out since every update favors 30 plus commanders.
DeBrie ... Love it! I am tempted to start a new game, loved early game, end game (lvl 38/39) is such a slog to do anything and not as much 'fun' as when I was blapping stuff with my blue Jelly
you the man, man
if you get the jelly between 12-14 it's really not hard to get 1 mil 3* rss. Put Cadet Scotty on the Jelly and get to P'jem, Rator, and Morska. Then you can move your base there and park your fortunate on a 3* gas, crystal, or ore node all day. no one will be able to hit you.
I found the resources research and daily quests you won't notice at first but in the long run ow my word such a pay off grinding them pasificalie storage delithuim and keep focus on lower independent mssns till you got the ships lvl
Joke about cheese, "this guy stinks".
I see what you did there 👍
I got a work phone and was going to install, this made me flash back and basically say I'm not making another account.
Just use your same old account.
So, my question is, I am currently level 31, do you recommend that I stay at 31 and max my base (easy) and ships (hard) and plug away at the efficiency and combat research? I am what you call free to play, so the battlepass and the odd extra like the second builder and not much else. Tried to be smart so far and built the speciality ships and one level 28 faction ship. None of them are maxed yet. Thanks!
Hi Rev,
I'm currently moving to ops 32 and have about 200k rare credits saved up. Should I start opening chests when I reach 32 to try and get epic ship BPs? Or is the drop rate for them higher at 33 34?
Ops 25 camping is op
Maxed kirk nero t4 gork
Maxed all 9 faction rares t3 of the other 4 main epics
Maxed vidar at 900-950k
And many more things ops 25 for 9 months is basically everything in the game so highly recommend
But at 25 can't lvl 39s raid ur base. Im at 21 and camping. But i really want to rush to kumari
@@plasmaoc yeah they can. Just bubble
I was going to camp at 14 but this event you can get a northstar , so im going to camp at 19 instead , i got Chen to tier 2 going to have to be good enough.
Gotta admit new to game played just to play and came to a wall at 12 pushed to 14 bee sitting there for a few days now my biggest gripe besides those pesky uc’s is ship parts……just cant get the ones i want to save my life
For the record, the cheese shown are not Brie, these are Camembert ;)

That's a good 30K in lat. But I know how it is, I did it last month from 50 shards away.

So you say to grind faction miners. I’m at 34 right now, and have the anteries through faction store creds. How are you getting faction miners through grinding, best I get are sally, and bortas which I already have. Where are you grinding hostiles for these faction miners?
Hi I’m lvl 33 have not been camping and i came off the game for about two years I’m just going to lvl 34 but I don’t have a lot of the stuff you have said about do I just stay on lvl 34 till I have better ships and officers or do I jump to 35 and stay there until I have most of the stuff you said about?

Is there any way to farm relocation tokens, or is it just buying one a day and hoping to get one in dailys
Seps have decent drop rates for that, did last time I went through the 2s few months ago
Just started playing about 3 weeks ago. Am at 17 just got Tallia. I have been grinding up wrong. Where can I find the information so I can do it right.
Wish that I had of known about the importance of dual faction lock my first year in the game or that there were help videos out there. I have been playing since day one and am only now at level 29 close to locking my Fed Rep. Or that I could and should have been choosing to join all three if the factions work on my (Fed. Klingon or Romulan) Rep at one time instead of just choosing Fed. Now at ops 29 I find myself at enemy rep status with both the Klingons and Romulans some 2 million plus in the hole negative rep with each faction. With limited game time is it possible to triple lock and if so how? Missons? Killing Fed Traders? Any thoughts other then bend over and grab the lube?
Use the Vidar to help. You can refine charged nano’s for faction rep. And yes, if you locked Fed, kill Fed traders to bump your Rom rep 👍. Or kill Rom traders to bump your Kling rep
I too didn't dual faction at the start...I was already deeply in the hole with Kling and Rom by the time I found out that strat.
I am camping at 25 to lock feds so I can then hit feds to fix kling and rom after. Not as good as dual grinding at start, but I am 3M away from locking feds
My goal is to trifaction lock by level 28 when I get the Saladin; I am only hitting Klings so I work on Fed lock harder...and it is starting fix my hole with Roms... hopefully by the time I lock Feds, I will be positive with Rom and then can hit Feds only to lock both other factions by then
@@metalli-KUH should we prioritize faction rep or charged nanoprobes to upgrade th vidar in early game? I am ops25
@@triaxe-mmb nothin wrong with alternating 😎. Refine for rep 1 day & keep the cubes the next. I got my Vidar to T6. Saved all the cubes to get there. Then used the cubes for Kling Rep ( was -1M ). Once I dug out Kling, I went back to upgrading Vidar to T7. Now I’m spending half the cubes on Rom Cred for officers.
I am at lever 31 but only federation I should be doing all the others as well but I made a mistake is there a fast way that too farming so l unlock the other factions i'm at nearly unlocked Enterprise that next ship I hope running of ucommon crystal to lock my ship yard at lever 31
Why camping at 19 when at 20 you get G3* rewards from events ?
So I don't know if this is a similar enough of a subject but I have a question about armadas. So I've been playing with the information that when figuring out if you have enough power to win you need as close to 50% of the target. So when does a player's development start to make that math completely inaccurate? I ask this because I'm a lvl 36 fat dolphin with a tier 6 Enterprise that can easily solo lvl 35 uncommons yet I've watched some of my lower powered players in my alliance struggle as a group to beat a lvl 31 and I don't know what direction to lead them to fix it.
Officers is what matters in the regard.
Is the recommendation to not spend any daily loyalty tokens until level 23?
yes, you get 10 d'vor bps in monthly chests at 23

Staying 14 until I can level up key station defenses to reduce chances of being farmed by dbags.
I promise you that won't work. Shield is only thing that does. I'll raid you if your shield is down :P. Good news is dailies give out 24 hours worth of shields.
How do you have so many faction credits? I do dailies every day and have done all my missions.
He probably hasn't spent any of them.
Borg refining also helps
Ah, good point.
At level 39 I don't spend them/use them currently, so everytime BP pays them out, dailies, etc., they just add up :)
@@RevDeuce ah, ok. I think I though it was your 26 has like 15k.

I camembert cheese jokes
I was confused on the Vi'dar - was Rev advising we max it at 25 or by 29?
29ish, max 34.
Basically the slowest pace you'd want to go is 1 tier per level above when you got it.
Is it advisable to camp at 25 long enough to complete all the researches of all trees, or JUST combat and resource efficiencies?
Just the important stuff at that point or you'll be wasting resources on researches that don't help you much
@@RevDeuce thanks! So once you clear 25, should I rush build to 29 (required buildings only for 26-28), then camp there and catch up on everything (buildings, research, & crews)? Basically is 29 kind of like 14, where you want to do absolutely everything and then some, or is it again like 25?
@@RevDeuce also, over the moon here! I got not 1 but 2 responses from the man himself!!
@@triaxe-mmb for myself I'm at 29 with a 650k T5 Salad Dish, maxed T4 Vi'dar, Stella, 2 T4 Horizons and 2 D'vors. Have Moreau but not Pike and not a heap of crew stuff. I'm a long way off faction locking at the moment though - still working on the 2nd mil of fed rep. I think I'd take everything in this video apart from Crew as good.
as soon as I come top 3 in events requiring effort I usually level up.
What is better for hostile grinding an augur or a D4?
I already know the answer, but stil want to hear the experts
You can't max the Franklin until Shipyard level 32 for the last Warp Coil.
Correct, Believe I said at 35 camp you should have it maxed by then.. Or did I mess up and say the 29 camp?
11:41 you said the Franklin should be working close to max. Then you said if it not maxed by 29 then have it by 34-35.
Which version of Geordi and Crusher?
Next Generation common officers
so I thought about building saladin and bortas. Too much for someone that uses rather little money?
Sitting on those levels for 1 or 2 years is absolutely true, and a very good idea. I mainly wanted to exit 14 with strong officers and ships. Definitely plan on it. I was 14 for 2 years ( I started a couple months after the game launched). I had leveled everything up, even the jellyfish to max. I did faction rep, got lots of officers and ranked them up, and gained 1.5m in 3* resources and several hundred million in Par, 100m in trit, and 5m in dil. over 100k of each 2* resource (refined) and 20k of each 2* ship part except for survey which is only 10k. I got max Chen before leaving 14, and had at least t2 spock and bones with t1 kirk. I also acquired over 10k faction credits for all three, though that was mostly due to those large compensation chests we were given. Even so, I've maintained 5k Kling and Fed credits. Just reached consort with both of them a few weeks ago.
After the Rogue arc, I decided to finally move on. Now I'm at 22 and plan to sit there for a bit. I'm maxing out stuff, or close to it, if I can (mostly research and station). Camp those levels when you can. It's well worth it.
I can't agree with you. I started in Jan and I'm on level 29, winning lat rush each week and placing top 3 in anything requiring effort, while my 3.5m power is lower than alliance mates at 4.9m+. isn't stopping me winning or having fun.
plus if you spend too long at a particular level, domination BattlePass events become really difficult.
@@johnhancock3051 what does camping have to do with winning? You're 29 now, I would venture to say you buy packs. I only shared my experience that happens to be almost a repeat of what Rev said. This isn't really so much for pack buyers, but for F2P.
@rebuiltHK47 I've bought 1 month of Battle Pass rewards, a North Star and the 2nd builder. I like Rev's advice generally but being the player in your player group with the smallest, weakest ships sucks. While this month's event arc (and store) kinda suck, focusing on what I needed over nice to haves (Discovery etc) and putting event store funds into ships not crew has helped massively. I level everything needed to move on. Meanwhile you've missed frames, avatars, events and thousands of higher level resources. It's not like your events are dropping 80 G3 gas for top 2 places...sorry if you don't like being told you've stalled for too long but the reality is that in 2021 it isn't worth stalling until 23/25 as long as you can get over the 16-20 hump where maxed P2W Jellyfish and North Stars punch down on weaker players.
@@johnhancock3051 lol It has nothing to do with not liking hearing anything. It's experience.
I do much the same you just said. But I don't go for the top SLB because each time it's someone who's dumping $ at the game. And my alliance doesn't reach high in the ALB either. So that's why Rev and I said to figure 1 to 2 year spent on these levels. I never buy anything but the battle pass. I'm not that eager to rush to the 25 spot, nor the 29 spot.
I camped at times that were appropriate for what I had and what I was doing. Primarily focusing on officers, ships, and then research and buildings. The first being the primary focus. As I said, my goal was to leave 14 with strong T3 officers, not weak T1 officers. And I did.
What tier/lvl Envoy to scrap?
Max. High as it will go (lvl 35)
Wish I would of seen this before level 37. It's a hard grind at this level. Slow down and do the marathon not the race.
I'm jelly about your avatar, my server cant even reach the first milestone.
You keep praising the new hostile crew but you seem to forget that it lowers the chances to get tlaan and chen even more.
They are harder to get than some epics and the new officers worsen the situation even more. I'm at chen tier3 with 54/80 deep into lvl 30, even purchased common boxes for lat from time to time.
Just maxed Chen today. Took a total of 37k lat to get last 25 shards.
People need to just make sure they are following RoE.
Raid on Everyone.
how do you max Chen easily?
Latinum purchase of standard chest.
@@Cavemandave99 unless you are buying packs, that is not an easy way to max chen...
@@adambrady8236 If you know what you're doing you'll have plenty of latinum to spend on maxing Chen. Latinum isn't some cash-only premium currency that you have to hoard, it is a grindable resource and it's easier than ever to get now. Besides, 'hitting separatist bosses' is a lot easier with Chen already maxed. When I had to do it for events without her maxed it cost way more in repairs than the vanishingly small amount of recruit tokens they dropped were worth. I'd never grind there without an event telling me I had to.
@@adambrady8236 what system separatist bosses ?
If you go F2P route, there is no easy, quick method. But it is very doable at even level 14. Completing the daily goals and from the various chests the recruit tokens and latinum with their stated odds should give you the 300 Chen shards in about 5 years lol. With low level hostile grinding each day, cut that in half. BUT thankfully as said elsewhere, there are many ways to gain those recruit tokens and latinum. Majority of mine came from events, especially those where you can purchase your rewards (recruit tokens 100%), and complete every mission you can. They contain a fair amount. I was able to max my Chen in less than 200 days of actual play time where I didn’t focus on officers for most. Not quick maybe to other games, but not bad in this one where nothing seems fast.
how can you max Chen when all these useless NEXT GEN litter the standard recruit chest making it even HARDER to get her. i want to FREEZE them all
