I do have it on ps4 but mainly play PC as find PS4 controls awkward to use after playing PC since launch 🤣🤣😉😉 Also being a PC player you do actualy get an account bank for free ...from what i remember BUT there again i bought the gold edition when it came out ( back in the day you actualy had to buy the game before F2P ..yes im that old dinosaur of a player lol) also a lifetime sub on pc ..sooo i stand corrected if you are F2P then yes you do have to buy the account bank sadly ....should at least make it free now for players after 12 yrs of the game!

you just cannot have unlimited refined DIL - only unrefined?! So I relly do not understand your video. You can only refine 8k Dil per character!

So, I’m just coming back to the game after several year break and this guide really helped. There are some current changes, currently, on a new Star fleet delta recruit, you can’t skip the tutorial. It took me just over half an hour to get a new character to earth space dock. But once I did, I immediately claimed my warship, it took me 3 elite patrols to hit 21. I took my time stripping her. A total of 1 hour work. I was only able to buy 4 doffs and they all where junkets but between the EC from the boxes, and r&d materials, I still walked away with just over 3mil and 8k dil. Still not bad for 1 hour. Considering I could have got lucky on the doff and made much more, I still view this method as a viable alternative. Thanks man!

I might have to get this ship, I kinda do a method like this with the flight deck carrier, mostly because theres weapons behind the "locked" ones in front and they still seem to fire. but your method seems to get it through faster.

Holy shit Auggy is here. Everyone look busy.

i have to admit i had to watch the video about 6 times to see what you were doing because you flew through it so fast.

Today Cryptic announced an 'update' is coming to Delta recruit rewards, we will see what this means but I wouldn't be surprised if they remove the fleet marks as a reward option for Delta recruits, and possibly more.

As far as leveling goes, I use research duties (the kind you get from the research items). About 20-24 of them will take you from start to 65, for 80m or so and 4 hours wait. That's on PC, not sure how it'd do on console. Console does have a nice looking interface!

They have nerfed this by limiting the number of waves.

Nurfed? Are you sure? I still regularly use this and especially on recruitment weekend, and it takes me just 3 patrols to get to level 21+ Just make 3 new characters at once, then use each one alternately, that way when you get back to character one the rescue and search mission is constantly available, basically two hours of non stop destruction, nets me 12 to 14 million EC, 3 times 8000 fleet marks and a combined dil pool of about 60,000 to be farmed off the characters over the next 3 days. That’s without the EC made from the Dofs purchased with the fleet credits, but I also post them out to my other characters on the account and my two alt accounts. Disclaimer, I obviously have all the special recruits, Temporal, Delta, Gamma and Klingon, with all the rewards fully maxed out.

Hey there. Great video. Does this have to be a specific new character. For example a TOS character or delta recruit? Thanks

Thanks Marty. No it doesn't have to be any special recruit, any character on your account can redeem the reward boxes I open at the end of the video. But! Those reward boxes come from getting unlocks with special recruits (like the delta recruit and temporal agent) so if you don't have any, you can't do it in 20 min like I do in the video. I will be recording a new video showing quick ways to make EC for new players or players without special recruits, stay tuned!

A TOS character would have to complete the five TOS missions to then transfer to Spacedock, taking about 80 minutes(?) and getting to level 10. Won't be able to do any patrols (or get the Zen ship?) while in the past. Same with Discovery characters. Or Jem'Hadar (you have to play 20 hours to get recruit rewards). Stick with plain Starfleet.

Thanks for the help!

I would love to know how to do this. Not really worried about the lith but to lvl up an alt this fast. I am on pc maybe that has to do with it but I have to run the tutorial everytime I make a new character and it drives me crazy. Any info would be great.

tyhanks for showing this i wasent 2fare off of how your doing it was just missing the info on the difficulty and selling off officers

The number of waves you get attacking you seems to be limited now. I only got 5 levels then got a "mission done" message.

I'm not particular about carrers but if Viacom wuld turn it to were the ships you own can be put into a fleet and farm the fleet slots then I'd do it that way

i love you vid some work for me some don't but they always help

I have been getting angry messages from people who have been doing this but are afraid this video will get it patched out. I am unsympathetic, here is how I replied to one on reddit. "Ya well I figure if it's only whales using it and keeping it secret from the rest of the community then I'm fine with it getting fixed. I have no doubt that plenty of sto youtubers use it then go on to make monetized videos about how to do tour the galaxy to make ec. They get all the benefit while making money off the average player being desperate to make EC while they show off all their lockbox ships, and lie about how they've acquired them. Makes me feel like Robin Hood tbh

Great video. I have only ever used my recruit rewards for leveling up my own fleet due to lack of people wanting to join. Some quick suggestions. I'm about a 4th of the way in and you have yet to mention that having the recruit rewards is a requirement. That would be one of the first things I would have mentioned. Being upfront about how it's done and what is required is important as to not have people perceive time invested in watching said video was a waste of their time. Also, as someone who likes to listen to videos at work, your game audio is very loud. Almost overpowering your voice and certainly not pleasant to my ears. Other than those two issues, your video is great and logic is sound. Thanks for teaching me something new.

So there is a lot more required to do this than was initially said in the first few minutes of the video. That's what my comment was speaking on.

Pretty sure this does NOT work for NEW Players: Just saying... You need your own fleet with substantial unlocks or be in someone else (higher level) fleet that doesn't mind you constantly joining /leaving with toons. this is more an end game thing unless your lucky enough to find a established fleet. the ones I got invites for (approx 6), have all been at level 1 or lower. doubt they have unlocks for the Bridge officers yet ?

You get these reward boxes from completing various activities in the game with your recruit character, so yes, the reward boxes I am collecting are mostly from completing low level story arcs with my recruit. Others are from making progress in other areas like reputation, admiralty, and r&d

Unless I missed the boat, Fleet Purple Duty Officers are bound on pickup (PC). I'm not sue how that works on console. Am I missing something on this or was it patched out? I did find two version of the nurse with the 20% hull regen on the exchange, selling for around 12 million EC each Fed side and the Medic versions (KDF) selling for about 25 million each, so I know the Doffs do exist.

So what exactly do I need to do in order to get the boxes and the ship available on a new character?

Does this still work this way now, or was this dependent upon a specific, limited-time event, like the "Delta Recruit" event a month or so ago?

How much speed difference is this method than a Romulan or KDF character?

It used to be that the account bank cost Zen to unlock on your account on PC, in fact I think it was about the same time they released the game on console that they changed that, I have an alt account that I have never spent Zen on and that account has an account bank, it doesn't have very many slots in it, I think 10 or 12 slots I don't remember right off, but because I did buy the account bank with my main account my main account has double the number of slots as my free-to-play account has, so basically when they added the account bank for free on PC because I'd already bought the account bank for my main account they gave my main account extra account bank slots.

With a brand new account you will want to setup a KDF aligned JemHadar. Once you complete the jemhadar intro missions and unlock duty officer missions and admiralty you will fly to the beta quadrant and position your ship in the sectors just above klingon space(The red area). Your goal is to grab as many Marauding duty officer missions and Admiralty missions as you can. Marauding duty officer missions will reward Contraband and prisoner doffs. Contraband can be converted to dilithium, or sold on exchange. Prisoner Doffs can be converted to dilithium at a security officer. Don't worry about the high fail rate of that assignment because you will be drowning in prisoners. That's basically it. It's a very passive way to turn spare character slots into a source of resources. You just spend a few minutes on the character collecting duty officer assignment and admiralty rewards.

I cant seem to claim the rewards theyare all greyed out :( plz help
