Eclipse Armadas | Three (four?) Crews for the Stella in Star Trek Fleet Command | For Noobs & Pros!

[@darylking265]

my Favorite Stella Crew: Riker, Beverly, and a Tier 3 Six of Ten. Riker increases Damage, Six will reduce the mitigation of the armada. It gets down right sick after several rounds.

[@jerelw4619]

My favorite Stella crew is Eurydice as captain with Sesha & Tiza. It produces HUGE amount of damage, ESPECIALLY in the first 3 rounds of combat.

[@DanielVanDerWerken]

I have three Stellas. Two I keep at T9/45 and generally run Riker Beverly Khan and the other I run 5/10 Kirk Spock. The third Stella I level to T9/45 and scrap. I've found having two high level Stella is great for these events as our Alliance generally runs multiple Eclipse Armadas at the same time, and being able to assist and participate in more than one at a time is a big help. Likewise, with two armada-ready Stellas, I can be repairing one while the other participates in an armada. This situation save me on mycelium as well.

[@mrtownsend1]

When I run eclipse I usually have the 4 lowest power stellas run Kirk, Spock, Galia which makes it so that the critical hits do zero damage. Then have the strongest 2 use Kirk, Spock, Damage increase officer like Khan, or Eurydice (as Captain) or Ro.

[@darrenpowell9932]

Exactly what I wanted to write, Kirk, Spock, Galia we always put on the lowest levelled player. This brings in survivability to the whole team

[@shduevak]

One or two should be enough. 4 seems excessive

[@BakingBadOBX]

@@shduevak four definitely seems excessive

[@shduevak]

@@BakingBadOBX also, we use pike, moreau, gaila. Not kirk, spock. Those who test these things say this is the load out for weakest ships.

[@JeremyBurnett]

@@darrenpowell9932 have the lowest try Pike Moreau Gaila. We found that it is very effective. Yes, I know Pike is an armada no-no.

[@aaronfinandolakin]

we recommend a simple guideline to our players. 5of10(c)/Kirk/Spock until your stella is 700k, at this point your stella mitigation research is strong enough to drop 5of10. After this point then Kirk(c)/Spock/Khan. Then you can start being clever and having someone bring Kirk/Spock/Lorca to increase crits generated by khan by the 75% Also don't rate Riker much on Stella (beyond low level/low research) as he increases "weapon damage", so much of stella's damage comes from the research. We have played with using Ash Tyler and burning in eclipse because he increases "the damage" with stella research included.

[@MrPesun]

Kirk Spock Gaila, if you negate the crits everyone lives longer alternatively Beverly, khan, gaila

[@KnotboredWoodworking]

Revs one dislike came from the guy he raided this morning.

[@obey112el]

Haha he dont know if he makes youtube contant

[@WouterVerbruggen]

It all depends on your research progress and choices too. 6of10 is making HUGE differences for me. Went the mitigation route on Scoundrel, so my weak point is piercing. When I get to Known Associate and can do the piercing research, Kirk Spock will be likely the way again

[@MatthewBluefox]

Five Kirk Spock worked pretty well. :)

[@benchambers1173]

Eurydice, Kirk, Spock 5,6,7 Azetbur, Killy, Kahn Note: Stella only has 1 kinetic weapon, but with the amount of shots Stella fires, Azetbur will almost always activate hull breach.

[@JasonZerbel]

Thanks for re-recording this one.

[@sosministriesrev1412]

The best combo on Stella is Rare Beverly Crusher (c) Khan and Gorkon with defense and health stats buffed, not for potential extra rewards but purely for reliable consistent performance and survival. Rare Beverly Crusher as Captain is Kirk Spock and Zhou in the one combo and at even rank 1. As Captain 200% shield regeneration of health stats of officers per round and 150% shield deflection, armour and dodge per round of defense stats which is nearly a rank 4 Zhou. Khan and Gorkon increasing damage by increasing critical hits and hull breach.

[@CommandoDragon]

Interesting, unfortunatly I don't have Khan but from when I got Ryker I only use Ryker captain with Kirk and Spock officers for armadas and it helped even when I had my Stella at low power (200k-250k power) and I was able to be in big eclipse armadas with it. By the way , Your videos are amazing, I started watching for around 7-9 days and I found out A LOT of stuff that helped me playing the game better! 😎😎

[@armindobel8126]

to make a quote: "This guy is awesome!"

[@WayOfTheTrigger]

I tested this extensively last event. As a f2p that just got to ops 35 with maxed Stella, Riker, Kirk, Spock is the best by far.

[@bennettmcknight2373]

One of the best reasons to run 5 wasn't touched on. The bonus loot she picks up.

[@stevewrick5768]

I agree with everything you say. I was messing around with my Lvl 41 stella 39/160. I crewed with Riker/Beverly/Kahn. We did a 33 epic but we only went 7 rounds. I need to get higher levels but I survived easily and didn't lose shields. I am mostly mitigation research.

[@PommieUsian]

Definitely helpful for all of us. Thank you for this!

[@Sytanya]

I don't have 5 of 11 but I am running Beverly as captain with spot and kirk on the side and a focussed defense>health build. It still reaches mitigation cap on my level 20 stella with an Mvalue of: 4/160 :D

[@josefj1776]

I found a new crew that is very very good it is Beverly as captain, 6/11 and Kahn. It crushes that Kirk spock combo for the Stella.

[@stevespencer8081]

A couple I like and use is Riker(c) Bev and 6of10, and 5of10(c) 6of10 and Khan.

[@elvishards8161]

I've scrapped 8 max stellas and have 1 maxed and 1 tier8 in use M is around 83 and I'm KSK on my stella as I don't have riker

[@dwsbadboy83]

Ty again for another great video

[@RevDeuce]

Thanks again!

[@tbischel]

I find 6of10 can jump my penetration 3.5x on damage (20% start, 70% end), compared to about 2x with khan... i went the defensive track on research and beaker score 36. I like captain bev, 6, khan to get the best of both worlds. Also support ships should carry one of gorkon or lorca

[@JeremyBurnett]

Honestly, one of my favorite crews on banks and vaults.

[@tonypocknall8037]

Beverley, Worf and Gorkon/Decius. Taking down the epic 40 is now alot easier with this lineup in the armada.

[@brianm3412]

Beverly(cpt)/khan/gorkon is amazing with a high health under deck with a high researched Stella.

[@AoibheannNova]

Absolutely. Just started using that crew and getting some amazing results

[@andyjohnson1358]

Absolutely, 1M+ Crits easily!

[@mylesponsonby6188]

100% - been using that and much better than Riker Kirk Spock. Battles are much quicker. My Bev is Tier 2, Gorgon maxed and Khan is at 4%. Maxed Stella with 100/160 research done.

[@kriswatson3912]

Can you look at this again especially for higher research people. On 37 epics ops 41 with 106 stella research, I get high 60s to 70% mitigation without officers assisting it. This means putting sisko as or 6 as captain is kind of pointless. Riker works before the calculation to give extra damage so the 70k extra damage is just tacked on at the end. Riker takes over 20 rounds to generate double damage so not that useful. Khan is great but on a full armada (6 people for me) the damage can be spread around to not trigger very often. Sisko is guaranteed by only 3 percent a round still takes to round 10 to get about 70-80% criticals judging from the logs. This seems best because the critical multiplier is applied after the bonus dmg is added. We tried miles but he only takes the number of shots fired from 8 to 10 with one activation as he doesn't appear to count stella extra shots. The armada had about 20% mitigation from me so 6 won't do much difference and Kira seems to not affect anything. Mitigation was within .1% between round 1 and round 20. Just hoping you had more ideas with your buddies. Only thing we are sure of is Kirk and Spock to keep shields up and then the third officer is nearly wasted. Currently using khan or sisko like i said the criticals seem the best.

[@ProfessorDataD]

Is kirk, spock, khan still good with a tier 1 khan? T6 stella & a bit behind on research

[@paulbremner5477]

Tend to have one ship running Troi as captain, have been running her with KS, but need to look at battlelogs and run some tests if KS is needed with my maxed stella.

[@chrisjones4571]

Every armada should have a breacher in the armada. It allows those who run kks to drastically increase their damage.

[@bistromathics]

FWIW the rewards even before 28 for this event are pretty good!

[@MRKNIGHT]

Any non Kirk - Spock crews for people with a second Stella?

[@LubzinNJ]

I run Kirk Spock Gaila on my main stella, and 5 6 Khan on my second

[@markmundl1420]

What crew is best with Leslie. Especially since Leslie has been available in $20 pack within last few months.

[@josefj1776]

Use Kirk and Spock with him and you can go up to 100 rounds

[@ElijaWB]

My Stella is 840k m103 and I have done thousands of eclipse armadas at OPS 39. This is what I have found to be true. If rounds are under 25 or so Khan at higher tier on a higher mLvl Stella will out perform Riker. Especially with crit damage research maxed out. Low tier Stella Riker is better, medium tiers 650k power m50 or so it’s a toss up between riker and Khan depending on rounds. One of the most important crews not mentioned is Kirk Spock Gaila(KSG), nice to have at least 1 preferred to be run on the lower power ships in armadas. Possibly 2 Gaila. Also if you are hitting higher targets Kirk Spock Nero(KSN) is also important (20+ rounds). Nero is almost 100% proc rare with Stella firing pattern. In 6 man armada I like to run KSNx1 KKS/NKS*4 and KSG *2 If you fight a target that dies in 15 rounds or less. It’s ok to ditch Kirk Spock. And run Riker Picard Khan (higher m research). Or Riker Beverly Khan

[@ElijaWB]

I like to use 18 rounds as my adjustment point for swapping Riker Kirk Spock to Riker Picard Khan, with 5 ships running a similar crew can easily knock the rounds down to under 15 (normally everyone has shields left) Again Kirk Spock Gaila is a must. Or Picard Beverly Gaila for lower round armadas. eclipse armadas are 200% damage 20% chance. 50/10% higher than normal armadas. Can’t ignore that

[@duanepinkston2983]

Hi, and thanks looking at using 6 of 11 useful? With 5 of 11 ? What do thi k, thanks as always

[@LoneWolf0568]

I do have a question about crews for just the Eclipse hostiles without Armadas. Was Ahvix (from Mudd's Crew) released when you did this video and if so, why wasn't she on the list? And would she work better as Captain with Kirk/Spock as bridge crew or Kirk as Captain with Spock/Ahvix as bridge crew?

[@nachti3]

Beverly capt. Does the same like kirk and spok? Isnt it?

[@AoibheannNova]

Using Riker only helps if your Stella damage research is low. Once it gets beyond a certain point, Riker's damage growth is so minimal because it's a percentage of base. KSK is still the best for total individual damage and survivability.

[@nuitari1669]

Here I have to disagree. Riker adds a 100% *cumulative* increase. Here are some numbers: The research for damage are Stella Weaponry (maxes out at 44k, 36k @ops 40), Energy Guerilla warfare (maxes at 100k, 70k @ops 40), Kinetic Guerilla warfare (maxes at 100k, 70k @ops 40). A maxed Stella energy weapon are at an average of 7050. After 10 rounds, Riker added 70k of damage, per shot, on average. After 20 rounds, 140k of damage added (that's almost as much as the research above). After 30 rounds, which isn't uncommon in an armada fight, that means 210k added. I looked up a recent log. I'm at ops 35. Energy shots are doing about 137k at start. I get 28k bonus from Stella Weaponry, 34k from Energy Guerilla Warfare. That's a total of 62k damage bonus, meaning there is 75k coming from other sources. At round 33, they are doing roughly 350k. Don't forget, Khan will stack on top of any damage growth that Riker produces.

[@AoibheannNova]

And I'll disagree to that because once you start doing higher level armadas, if you don't have long enough longevity in the battle, Riker's cumulative bonus won't amount to much. So unless you're going to run Kirk and Spock on the sides, which removes Khan from the equation, you'll still do more damage at higher levels. Battles also tend to be shorter. I'm lvl 41 and my Outlaw research is 105/160. I have higher damage and crit damage research nearly complete. Riker is good if your research level is low, but research will outpace him on Stellamadas.

[@morrismoe]

What's with only atk crew? Gorkon Khan Mudd? Or Bev instead of Kirk Spock so u got more DMG output...

[@maddoghoek4286]

best hull breach crew for eclipse? gorkon/khan.... and? or some other set-up?

[@davidcorsall4277]

You are unreal at your job! 😁

[@joabjohnstone5217]

The best crew is to run 4 x kirk spock gaila because you are making 20% of the shots 0 name another officer that adds that much? The 5th and or 6th can run riker or Khan if you want.. Run that and you will see you can bear bigger armadas

[@SeamusCurtainMagee]

Does Rikers damage increase lose some of its punch as your research increases? What I mean is does the damage increase get calculated off base damage instead of damage after research is taken into account?

[@pigrew]

Yes, it's calculated off of base, so if you already have +20,000%, Riker will do barely anything.

[@josefj1776]

Leslie is also a good captain for the Stella with Spock and Kirk. I’ve had some Stella armada’s last 100 rounds

[@kevinwilliamson7158]

Rev, do people not run this any more or is Leslie more for solo armadas?

[@josefj1776]

@@kevinwilliamson7158 I run it when I know others are on and are weak there is nothing worse than almost killing an armada and fail. I am very weak at 670K Stella power but at times the armada is filled with 400 power Stella and you can almost carry but fail.

[@rand4505]

Hey Rev, my team has a question. When multiple people use Bev, Riker, or Kira, in Armadas, any armadas, we notice only the highest listed players respective officer proc's. Should my team be not running the same crews on multiple players? Like only one person in the armada run OBrian-Sisco-Kira or Bev-Riker-Cisco? The not seeing the other proc in the Battle Logs makes us think the second player is not effective at all.

[@chrisjones4571]

Try Riker with khan and 6 if you can survive or last until almost the end if the fight. You can take a 100k weapon and end with 700k crits.

That is the crew I have been running. Seems to help other players in the armada with reducing the critical damage they receive. I’ve only been able to survive lvl 31 armadas, but my m score needs a lot of work.

[@rivaltheeminent2553]

Thanks for the info, but I have to note that I think your experience on when obtaining Khan is a bit outdated, since it's become so much easier to get beyond ops30 nowadays (also due to the help from contentcreators like yourself). Example: on my server we have a lot of people around ops30 without Khan (with kirk t3 and spock t4, if they focussed on them. Not everyone goes Fed 😉) and those guys have kept up with their research, do their augmentstuff and swarmsunday and most are either f2p or light spenders. So using Khan in a starter set is a bit off imho.

[@brianp2276]

Uff Rev your Outlaw and Stella research is abysmal xD Anways 1. KSK(Kirk Spock Khan) is one of the best setups esp you got Hull Breach in the Team. 2. 5KS if your research really slacks it's good, you should check that, if you actually need her else it's a wasted slot. 3. Ryker KS is only really great on lower level/low research stellas, as most dmg of the Stella is from research and the Ryker increase is, yeah you know it on Base xD 4. Leslie Kirk Spock if the leader or started ship has really good defence like 27k+ can help to carry with 1-2 ppl running 40s regardless of the rest of the team. 5. Every Eclipse armada should have a PMG/PBG esp on a weak Stella, which can help a lot. KSK vs RKS KSK is bursting esp on high tier/research stellas and fighting 40+ RKS for lower level armadas and not ops capped research.
