Ex-Borg Faction in Star Trek Fleet Command | Gaining Rep - Early Favors to Focus On - Hostile Payout

Ойындар

Hey @everyone and I hope you're having a fantastic week! This video attempts to break down the basics of what has become one of the more complicated factions in star trek fleet command. The Ex-Borg. While this faction has a long of great favors later on, for most players the focus should be rep grinding, early research, and unlocking the NX-01 through Xindi scraps? Why? Well I'll show you!
Topics covered:
1. Reputation calculator can be found in my Discord. Thank you to Jules/Blue as always for hosting and editing
2. How the NX-01 (and if you want it, the prime) expedite the Ex-Borg credit grind.
3. Early Favors that are a must have
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

    So the TLDR for Xindi Favors is max the delay then get NX-01 followed by, or maybe concurrently if you are lucky, the crit floor maxed. I do feel like they are forcing us into loops that make Maxing a D'Vor look like building a Realta. I'm currently working on saving the 3k for the crit floor and now I need to add 10-25k more to get the NX-01 at maybe 100 a day this is a year and I haven't even factored in T2-T5 of the crit floor. I understand that we are playing a game ran by an investment firm but this is ridiculous. Either fewer BPs or no cool down. And I still have to wait for the rep level because I am not buying a pack for EX-Borg rep or the ship any time soon.

In this case you will find that "the appropriate crew and ship" also means that the appropriate research, Primes, and favors have to be applied to make it the appropriate ship and while it isn't said the appropriate crew is typically the selected officers at T5. I'm not entirely sure that an Ops 39 can take out a lvl 40 Xindi. For example with my ships I have Picard T2, Beverly T4, Tlaan T5 with BLT T2, Tom P T2, Neelix T4, and HammerT2 below deck below deck plus others to max percentage and almost every research you could complete at Ops 39 plus a few more now and I'm only getting three with an Auger If no crits happen.

    The amount of effort that the CCs are putting into this new loop is very low. Looking at the amount of ex-borg loot they have on hand and the number of favors they have unlocked shows that this loop is not that great. Maybe once Scopely gives them the ship (which they deserve) things might change for them. For me, the question is "Is the juice worth the squeeze?" and for me, it is not. I will slowly play this loop and get the ship in 3 to 6 months, and I do not think waiting for that long will hurt my gameplay at all. The few ex-borg favors that are worth it (ship parts and the construction ones) I will be able to get in the 3-6 months of grinding the ship. Just my thoughts.

    First, thanks as always for sharing your knowledge. Second, it always takes me forever to understand your spreadsheets. Please try to take an extra few seconds to SHOW where your numbers are. Maybe get a highlighter tool or larger mouse cursor? Watching on a phone does not help as the sheets are microscopic. Lastly, any crewing suggestions for a non-spender 42. Once they added aquatics to the 34/35 it watered down the two hour grind for a single pull. I wind up accidentally hitting a couple aquatics and my cargo is full of parsteel. I can land one, maybe two 40s. But the repair costs make that a black hole.

    If they get rid of this 30% go home shot nonsense then the xindi grind becomes kind of good after getting archer on saturday. This RNG is so bad because you only get one token a day and if you fight a xindi battleship and rng hits you, you lose your day of grinding. dont think thats fair play scopely. 30% gone oder more Token both would solve the problem i think

    You also failed to mention that as you go up from level 40, the amount of scraps you need for a chest goes up. I was level 41 when I started. It went down to 500 which was appreciated - but when I leveled up to 42, that rose to 800. And I CANNOT TAKE OUT A LEVEL 40, so I am stuck with 2 - 10 scraps for the level 34/35. That means upwards of 80 Hostiles per day! Obviously, Scopely assumes I have nothing better to do with my time! Yet another Scopely Fail!!

    I absolutely hate Xindi events. D4 is my strongest ship and it sucks. I can't do level 40 Xindi with the ships I have

    I find the xindi to be a useless addition to the game. Hostiles are tough and have a bad loot payout. And the faction store is the same. Not worth the time or effort. #scopelyfail

    Lmfao if you get it to lvl 40 should be able to do this easily. Translates. If you spend thousands of dollars, you can get pennies a day.
