Hostile Hunting Levels 1-51 | Crews to use on Transports, Probes, etc. in Star Trek Fleet Command
Ойындар
Well I think everyone needs this refresher because in my recent travels around some of the servers I'm finding a wide variety of hostile crews. So, @everyone, join me in jumping back into this very important topic because we mine and grind reds more than any other activity in the game. This will help you make sure you're grinding reds as effectively as possible.
Topics covered:
1. Was there a hint in the last video? Addressing the rumors!
2. Going over the main anti-hostile loadouts in the game
3. Is there a super secret lvl 51+ hostile crew?!
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

Thanks for the update.
can’t wait to get Pike, I have been running La Forge and Crusher since level 5 and I’m level 26, that’s how good it is
4:47 Thank you for the clarification! :^)
Worf can go in place of crusher, especially in G4 when the lower deck slots are limited. Picard worf Chen/tlaan
Harrison is a good spare if your Chen/T’laan are busy, provided your target has less hull health than what you can deal within the first round
Specific crew, for specific hostiles I use: 1. Yuki, Harrison, Charvenik (against battleships) - stacking health 2. Yuki, Harrison, Marcus (against explorers) - stacking defense 3. Yuki, Harrison, Kang (against Interceptors) - stacking attack All 3 officers (Marcus, Char, Kang) should be at least 800% to be effective... Hope this helps someone.
Thank Rev , i did say this before tho . Tng arch should of came with an officer that reduces hostiles and armada damage . Maybe 20% , with full synergy of Picard and paired with Beverly , it would of been awesome
Over all the crews you talked about chen and t'laan are the key with the exception of the borg crew
Some additions: - Another to use with the Pike or Picard crews is Harrison. If you can kill a hostile with the first shot (with the shield bypass) it can be a fantastic crew. For example for me against lvl39 explorers in Wolf it works just as well as a Chen crew. - If you don't have Pike/Picard but you do have Moreau/Bev, you can also use Bones instead for a smallar but still usable ability bonus. How well it works depends on your stats and the hostile you're fighting. - Bev can work great on lower levels too, depends on the hostile you're fighting and to your ability to stack defence. - The 7of10 crew(s) work great only if you have the time to grind in borg space for hours on end.

To elaborate on the first point, PMT on my maxed Sally kills a lvl39 in Wolf in 1 shot for 4300 damage received itself. With PMC it takes 5 urns for a total of 5100 damage received. Of course, RNJesus would change those numbers around a bit, but I don't really feel like going into the error statistics of that on my free evening XD
for the right situation I have found that PHC is superior to PMC H being Harrison if you have him H = Rank 1 M = Rank 3 C = Rank 4 I am 35 right now and have been grinding on hostile 39's for my dailies for many many levels (triple locked for a while also, and this technique worked to help me get that triple lock) Using my Sali (interceptor) against Battleships (triangle happy) I can get to 1 shot of the 38, 39 and sometimes 40 battleships (NOT the vetrans) With this 1 shot kill, survivability is longer for the grind
I been grinding to lock my last/3rd faction and been using two ships and I’ve been using 6 of 10, 5 of 10 & Georgiou on 36 traders on my Auger and it works well
Is what you said correct for heavy traders in capital systems (tlaan instead of chen)? I was wondering why the heavies do so much more damage than the non-heavies with PMC, when their stats are identical. Edit: having tested with PMC vs regular traders and PMT vs heavies, they still deal 6 * as much damage. Meaning with my auger that can defeat normals in 2 rounds losing < 3rd health, dies having scratched the paint on a heavy. Seems a waste of trit to run the same test with my jelly, lol.
For the borg don't forget 4 gives full sync with 5 and 7 too
We honestly need more officers to combat mission hostiles like Tasha Yar kinda does. Its so frustrating doing a mission of killing 20 level 48 hostiles with PMC/T only to have the boss totally wipe you out with 3/4ths of your health left. I have been using my maxed Enterprise with Kirk and whatever 2 officers combat what I'm fighting....interceptors, use Rare Uhura and Kang, battleships, use Char and Azbuter and explorers, Marcus and Yuki. I really hope in Phase 2 of the officer rework we get that.
Addition: it takes a while to level Chen and T'laan to max right at the beginning of the Game OPS 1 to OPS 15 - you might want to stick to - Cpt. Cadet Uhura + Cadet McCoy + Cadet Kirk - Cpt. TNG La Forge + TNG Crusher + TNG Data this Combo gets you -21% (up tp -22,4%) Damage reduction (both Kinetic and Energy)
With Cath now available at -12% damage from kinetic weapons, should next gen Beverly potentially be replaced when doing red PVE ? Your thoughts? With a La Forge, Beverly and Chen / T’Laan crew
Not sure if Scopely cares or not but it might be worth though if they introduce a group of hostile grinding officers that reduces damage from specific types of ships (ex. -20% damage from hostile battleships) if they outpaced Chen and tlann at higher levels for damage reduction
I find that 579 is better than 578 for the lvl 29 probes (7 as Capt in both scenarios). 7’s Capt Ability is the key factor because if it triggers and your vidar is big enough, you’ll take out the probe before it can get a shot off - you take no damage. The extra synergy 9 gives over 8 makes the Capt ability trigger 90% of time which is most critical. Most or all of the other levels of probes get a shot off before you do so this is only for 29s.
Which is best crew for the heavy in capitals? What is the secret deep space crew? Which crew can handle level 41+ battleship hostiles.
Explorer auto grind crew for cow or hostile events good against level 20 to 32 fighters or bounty hunters TOS Bones TOS Kirk Kelvin UC Sulu (Sulu maxed) .. destroys hostiles sometimes even before they hit you.. not sure about initiative bonus there as that is never talk about..then you also have tlaan and chen available for active hunting.. TOS bones needs the hostile attacking you whether it fighter or bounty hunter to work best
6:24 Correction: if you want to use Cpt. 7of10 - YOU NEED MAX POSSIBLE Captain Synergy this wil force you use Cpt. 7of10 + [ 8of10 *OR* 5of10 *OR* 4of10] + [ 9of10 *OR* 1of10 *OR* 6of10 ]
I like using Harrison with pike/moraeu on my Saladin. Kills non veteran 39's very well.
I use 5, 7, and 9 currently for my augur when I go after swarms I use 5,7,8
Hey rev so I'm glorified with fed and I'm trying to double dip fed rep to reach champion using 2 hostile crews. I have a maxed pike max moreau max chen max tlann Picard is tier 2 and Beverly is tier 2. Should I use pike moreau tlann on Kelvin and hit klingon heavy traders in Kronos and then use Picard bev chen on enterprise to grind tygo or should I swap pm to ent and pb to kelvin.
What should I stack below decks? My Moreau is T3 so just attack to take down hostiles quicker?
What level/ tier should you take pike to?
Exchange transports in rouge space supposedly use both weapon types so what crew there?
For probes, 5 of 10, Chen and tlaan give me 290k nanos and is quick
Thanks for grinding tips! I am lvl 34 f2p and have most of the officers you mentioned, but I currently don’t have Picard (only 77/180 shards). Didn’t do well in the leaderboards when he was introduced. Is there any way to source him now, and if not, will there be any way in the near future to get him?

What about Picard, Beverly and Data (instead of T’lan or Chen)?
A hint is something you give us in plane sight when you try to sneak it in that's an Easter egg
to kill heavy trader in Sol,Kronos,Romulus on ship about 3m power, use Beverly, Mudd and tlan, for those that want to kill but far from it, this is only crew that will make it happen, the logic behind it, ship lose shield and gets immidiate boost form mudd to your damage, and it stacks, beverly regenerate enough shield to sustain most damage, every time shield goes down, mudd boosting power, enterprise can do 6m shots thanks to this crew, and tlan obviously as those heavy traders use kinetic. PS, results are inconsistant as you might get those nasty critical shots from the heavy trader
I tried the one with LaForge and Crusher, but found that LaForge and Troi works better for me with Chen or Tlaaan.
What if you have 8 & 9 for the vidar but don't have any of the others one yet?
I acutally use: Kang (T5) Captain, Beverly (T4) and Jaylah (T1) for high-level Swarms.
Fat Mudd, Bev, and Roe tier 3+ gives me more lvl33 Borg probes....what about 5, 7, Kang for 37+ lvl swarms?
A 2nd to none crew for swarm over pmt would be jayla, Kang, epic bev
Thanks for the video, Rev! Not sure if you do edits, but at 5:40 you say “Tlaan” when you mean “Moreau.” It could be confusing for newer players.

Is Picard, Bev and Data not a thing/version?
With all the new officers, hostile crew set up has changed. I was wondering if bev captain with worf and Chen is good for Vahklas stacking health and defence below, grinding explorers. I don't have picard unfortunately, but my bev and worf have been promoted once from the points I got in that event when we won them.

I know the STFC website Says that red battleships are Energy weapons, However I have 2 reasons not to believe that. 1st, if you watch a battle against a red battleship, there is Not an energy beam, there are 3 red dots like Kinetic weapons. 2nd, I’ve tried Several times using the same ship killing same reds in same system using Both Chen then T’lann. Every time I kill slightly more reds using T’lann. Just FYI, try it and see if I’m right. Clear your inbox try Chen until you die, then clear inbox Again and try T’lann. See who kills more
Does this mean that the Klingon's are getting General Kord from Star Trek V?
Small correction for the Borg officers against Level 29 probes...shouldn't it be 789, or 759? You said 758, but that version doesn't give full synergy to Seven.

Great info, but i just made level 14. But I realize i will be a 14 for quite some time to fully level up ships. Could use help on that level crew. And why do some others players even level 12 & 13 have nearly twice my hull health on same ship? I have nearly completed every building and just have ship repair speed to complete. I have zero uncommon 3 star ore. I can’t find a way to get that other than buying it from store. Which i rather not do.

You’ll get more nanoprobes at lower levels (try 27) until you get your vidar up higher. I think it’s tier 7 with the smallest gun upgraded to tier 8 (the one that fires every round) that you can start cleaning up with the lvl 29s.
Hold your horses. PMT is not as good as PMC vs 33s. The l33 probes do an equal amount of energy and kinetic damage, its definetly better to pick chen. Also chen is prefered on every level but 29. Up to lvl 30 7of10 works well as captain, even prefered if you have 5 to support him.

At tier 7.1 with that 1 being the energy weapon, if you are running Capt 7, 8 and 9 and 7 procs, your Vi'Dar will fire 3 times before the probe does, it is possible to kill it without taking damage. Stack attack on your lower deck to give yourself the best chance of it.
