Level 40+ Gameplay | What are the most important loops to focus on in Star Trek Fleet Command

[@iUseVegas]

Scopely: "I heard you like loops so I put loops with your loops so you can do loops while you loop loops."

[@tbbowlin]

One loop that I feel is neglected in this video is the mantis loot for one reason and one reason alone: syndicate progression. The mantis grind IS HUGE in terms of progressing in your syndicate which gives you bonuses in various things. The QOL syndicate wall at 21 to reduce clicks, getting a second officer, additional bonuses that stack to everything else that we do. We could really forget to do the mantis research or upgrade the mantis all the way, but we will fall behind other players whose syndicate levels are pushing them higher than players of similar levels.

[@dave_uk]

Although I absolutely hate doing this loop I have to agree, if you’re not double pulling syndicate xp every day you’re going to miss out on some really good enhancements to your game

[@joshuas193]

Good call on this one. I have it so that I can fill my cargo bay in less than 4 minutes so its really not that bad of a loop either.

[@metasuperfamily]

The Bajoran loop is the main loop I don't mind doing because of the research and the fact that I can spend 1 hour a week to stock up on the creds that I need to do my pulls every day for a week.

[@hsfguy]

Showing a Decent loop priority, good. Getting blown up during the video by a warring alliance, Priceless😂

[@NathanielMiller]

All of this is a great demonstration of why I have no problem still being at Ops 35...

[@joshmcdaniel3370]

MBS? Is that you??

[@mysticasmith2356]

I was at level 39 for over a year. I finally made the move and a lot of new options opened up. I think that I’ll stay here until I have my Bajoran faction leveled up, the ex-Borg leveled up, and of course Voyager. Lots still to do.

[@colinmgwilliam7087]

As always, an excellent video. Dailies, battle pass, bajoran sounds like a plan. Cheers mate

[@MajorSamo]

I wishhhhh more of my alliance mates could see this and have yet another voice encouraging them to go hard for Bajor. It's so difficult to convince them they CAN and MUST go through the solos. Sooooo worth it! Though I'll throw in the love for Mantis loop as I see many others doing as well. Syndicate gets Heart Eyes from me, as does this video.

[@greenhatparts6552]

chatting with people in ac, the forgotten loop is fleet Commanders. there is so much there that helps since I been focusing on it more. I can feel the difference in my game. such as upgradeing one skill ability in fc Kirk skill tree today gave me extra silent hostile kills today. I can go on.

[@justinnewton984]

While I enjoy the Bajor loop it's maxed and easy resources daily. I'm really loving the Ex-borg. It's Bajor plus plus! Not only does it feed resources, but parts, forbidden tech and artifacts!

[@WouterVerbruggen]

Bajoran is a goldmine for mats, parts and transport patterns once you have sisko maxed. But you *need* Monaveen with it. For a long time, I was swimming in mats and parts at ops47 but couldn't upgrade due to the humongous trit costs combined with the very unfair monaveen bp sourcing. Not even mentioning the repair costs of high tier ships! I was very wrong about the Monaveen, didn't know how much rss it gives! Worst loop is silent hostiles. In it's current state, many of us cannot run them due to simply almost no hostiles of the right level being around.

[@derpizzadieb]

If you have trit issues on that level, you tiered up too far, you went into spenders terretory. There are some specialty ships like the Feesha and Voyager that easily eat your Trit with upgrades if you overtier. Also your main ship can have high repair costs if you overtier compared to the investments you do. I'm at OPS 54 F2P and the only time i had Trit issues in the past were, when i didnt pay attention and spent all my Trit upgrading 1 Feesha Mod. Also, if you your rep costs are too high for you, its one indicator that you should be a higher OPS level. Higher OPS level pay out more resources. When i built my Nova in the 52s the 2b repair cost i had on T1 was hugh, but now i am cooking OPS 55 and those repair costs are peanuts. Not everything is scopelies fault, sometimes you just play wrong.

[@WouterVerbruggen]

@@derpizzadieb lol I'm one of the slowest levellers in my (mainly f2p) alliance. Any 4* ship that isnt a baby is a huge load on trit. The only "issue" once could argue in my playstyle is that i dont raid. Since i dont have time for that stuff

[@RvM1973]

I don't have any problems with silent hostiles. Every day I do double pull got more than 150k of tokens I'm ops 49 and I must kill silent 46.

[@DavidFisk-e3f]

Not seen a mention of Freebooters. This is the grind I do first every day and when I need x level 50+ to complete a mission. I am ops 51 (big mistake as I cannot do Silent 51!!) and Freebooters are crucial. Also agree with comment below on Mantis, which is vital for Syndicate progress.

[@zacharymarquis293]

Solid content man. Thank you!

[@nvtruckdriver]

Hello Rev, did the end of the month survey. Remember how everyone complains about all the old stuff we are stuck with all the time, well just take your 4000 broken desealing rods and make one and wait for the ship parts Treasury to be available and guess what, your desealing rods is gone! They leave everything else but what you need! Unreal!

[@jamienotine2791]

I sent in a ticket and they can restore your desealing rods but they said they would only do it once

[@RoyCyle]

Desealing rods are only good for the duration of the treasury in which you exchange it. You can not save a desealing rod for the next treasury. Broken rods stick around so do not exchange them until you are ready to use then right away.

[@swimbot08]

​@RoyCyle you are 100% correct. Thought everyone knew this by now but apparently not.

[@Flossytops]

Scopely don’t tell people this but NEVER convert your broken rods to a desealing rod UNLESS you are definitely going to open the treasury. Once it’s converted if you don’t use it, you will lose it!!

[@nvtruckdriver]

Well Scopley came through, gave me back the desealing rods and I was able to get the ship parts Treasury. Now I am very appreciative of this, however everyone here has old currency and probably can build 50 horizons and they don't go away so why should a desealing rods?

[@A2BCivic]

Good video. Confirmed what I was trying to tell my Alliance mates. Bajor is loot is awesome.

[@PorkySleepless]

Solid video, At ops 53, this is super consistent with what I recommend in my alliance. I'd add some love for the V'idar loops also, which is still the best free source of faction credits and ships before g5. It's definitely the only old loop I still pull for every day

[@rodddxlprime3153]

Mantis loop has to be up there. SNW crew is a must have. Syndicate XP is like 16 researches combined plus two free Epic officers.

[@ToddlerKat]

talios loop is the best way of sourcing speed ups

[@austinm2863]

Thanks again Rev.

[@andros15]

I had a thought today while doing my borg grind. You would think of all the hostile species in Star Trek, the Borg would be in the top 5 most hostile. Some may argue top 10 but regardless they are a "hostile" species. Yet in STFC the probes arent hostile at all. Seems a flavor or lore fail to me. lol

[@GrahamMachin-fv9qj]

Another bonus to the Voyager loop and using the Commerce Tokens, is that once the Feesha is max'd, you can still trade in the commerce tokens for Feesha parts and then use the Feesha parts in the Latinum refinery to exchange them for G5 Ship Parts. This gets you more parts than trading the commerce tokens purely for ship parts in the Voyager Refinery.

[@theeburgerman8491]

As someone who has played casually for a year and I am not getting more into it, all these things to do is making it fun but also frustrating when you miss something!

[@madeincanada183]

STOP THE LOOPS. It's killing this game. I'm watching people leave this game because they say loops and loops and more loops are making this feel like work.

[@mnkpatrick]

I like this video for many reasons but. I was so glad to hear you. Say that you have Epic officers from 5 years ago. That aren't maxed. I am in the same boat and I think that is ridiculous

[@Flossytops]

I quite like the mantis grind… for the SNW crew shards yes, but most importantly the syndicate xp!

[@johnshillinglaw8433]

Use the cube for bajoran loot.... I have like 5 million hostile loot because of doing cube grinding in jem Hadar space

[@canuhover7102]

I don't know much about the cube. Why is it better than a regular ship for a bajoran loop? Do you use the cutting beam or just regular attacks?

[@johnshillinglaw8433]

You don't have to use it but bajoran hostiles are one of the recommended areas to grind the cube and you kill 2 birds, get bajoran loot as a byproduct

[@XHunter442]

ty for the video and LLAP Rev Deuce!

[@Mark-xo7mu]

Ops 35: I do dailies, Rogue grinding/Armadas and Dominion Solo Armadas; I unlocked the Defiant by grinding the Dominion. It’s my favorite loop figuring out what ship’s and crews get my the most benefit.

[@Jason-fd6jn]

Thx Rev.

[@vassagood]

I'm almost ready to hit the button on 40.

[@MikeKat11]

I’ve been playing since the beginning and I’m just now at 44. Not plowing thru the levels and trying to make sure all my buildings (minus generators) and leveled up and research reasonably caught up before I advance

[@michaelknight3624]

Hey Rev Hi from Oz. This vid is relative to me and my level. Thanks

[@robertlee5456]

It's fairly easy to finish the Bajoran loop at 47 so we're just stockpiling Bajoran Credits and Diplomacy Tokens thereafter, to be spent on mats pulls once we make the jump into the 50s. This can be a great source of mats at a time when our refinery isn't yet producing large quantities of the mats needed to push 53, and to get our next ship. Bajoran Credit income also lets us buy daily, if needed, lucrative g4 and g5 mining tokens, which trivializes ("solves") the problem of mining, when paired with a Nova or two. In short, the Bajoran loop makes the leap from 47 > Shipyard 53 not only viable, but comfortably so. I would say it's too bad that so many players shy away from running Dominion solo armadas aggressively, with exocomps and buffs, but as a F2P .. their loss is my relative gain.

[@TheFatmer]

I don’t do the loops, just wait till SCOPLY add loop short-cuts. Yes I miss out but my life is better for it! It’s a game, not a job!

[@mikelogan8305]

Finished all the bajoran favors so quickly

[@lenhendricks7971]

When you say do your dailies do you mean completing enough events to get your daily chests or do you do every event every day?

[@jan-peterbrodersen3302]

I am level 42 and my Monaveen is my strongest ship. It is already on max tier for my OPS level. A very useful ship and when you push also your Voyager you can actually try and skip the level 42 ship.

[@Bleachguy2023]

on another note i really like how the flash pass is gives you a currency and some officers in a event store and you can pick the officer would like to see that in the future we have alot of unsourcable officers this could be a way to get shards for those officers even throwing a pike and monroe and chen and cath in it would be great but i cant see it happening

[@TKs3DPrints]

have to agree with the Bajoran loop i try and pull and hit them all the time. sadly the rng never gives me what i need.. lol.. but yea i am still a long way from completing but well worth the loot.. though i hate the silent hunters as i went to level 45 and then lost the use of common.. and now have to hit the rare ones to get anything.. sadly nothing i own can get there.. i think scopley should allow us to still use common

[@stevemc01]

3:52 Me, constantly getting common materials or rare materials and thus unable to upgrade anything uncommon: *laughs in bankrupt*

[@mrzephyr6259]

One benefit of Talios you didn't mention is it's the single best officer xp sourcing for probes above I think 46? At Ops 55 I get 800-900k per trip of filling the cargo and this is huge for officer levels and upgrading the mess hall

[@obey112el]

some people do try to raise there ops too fast and dont know how this game works and what we need is more stfc streamers to be out there speaking out and giving advice on how it works and how to invest money well in this game if not should be worth the spend because some people buy the jelly rare not knowing is gonna be useless sooner or later

[@dgdinwiddie]

Note, the Borg message Cubes are STILL broken. At least on server 21 anyway. Myself and many of my alliance members have submitted tickets but Scopely has given us no timeline.

[@twmijjit]

Lower 40 guys, Bajoran loop and Jelly Brawl. Best pulls for 4* uncommons.

[@yolohansolo6136]

All the ex borg chests and favors are amazing. People who say stop the loops have no real alternative to suggest and don't understand that's how these games are and always will be. But ignoring the ex borg is really dumb. The artifact chest FT chest faction mega chest are SOOO good.

[@loonypath2073]

Server 21 borg cube summon systems are broken, I sent in a ticket scopley said they're aware and working on a fix but it's been over a month and it's still broken. A big detriment to our server for gaining faction credits.😢

[@raccotton5692]

Will thank you for informing By the way is my BRITHDAY am 66 yrs old Semper Fi

[@D-Day6623]

my favorite loops are Fruit Loops

[@rivaltheeminent2553]

I don't disagree the Ex-borg being more useful as Voyager. But once you got your Voyager at a desired level and you got plenty faction messages, you only need to do the loop alongside the incursions loot exo and skip for the rest. So there might be a period where one could find it more valuable then ex-borg to get to the right stage. I don't agree ex-borg should be the standard to level up though. Say you are ops55 with a t4 factionship (which basically does all you need besides the following) you won't be doing the silent hostiles for your level, as for Xindi's you only focus the 50+ surveys to get by. If you then invest more into that factionship, you'll be wasting the much needed rares to get to your ops56 factionship that will do much more for you. It's kinda the same each time you get at an ops level near your next faction, you'll be better off skiping silent hostiles.

[@su_shadow9326]

How do you get the Monaveen, havent figured that out(recently came back to the game)

[@damianalvarado1320]

Silent loop is alright. Can’t engage in it anymore since I ops up and working on the new ship. So it’s meh. The voyager loop I only really do during incursions. The repair cost are high so only summon when I get more loot for my cost.

[@CoreyRaines]

Think syndicate / Mantis is the most important. Baybay is good also but I would put it at 2nd mainly due to Effort to gains ratio.

[@markhealy3595]

Best video in a long time... wish it was 6 months ago. Thanks!

[@JohnThomas-ut3go]

Exborg is the most important loop. You can use it to get loop benefits without grinding.

[@williambuchanan77]

I looks like scopely are aiming to put so many loops and grinds in the game that you can only do them all if you're playing practically all day. So if you're ftp, the more time you spend in he game the stronger your ships&officers will be.

[@Murgy91]

Agree 😁

[@dupre7416]

What is the best crew/ship for Cardasian solo armadas? I can't win against anything over level 36. I am level 41 free-to-play.

[@swimbot08]

3 best ships. Its going to depend on what officers you have. I use sisko miles lorca, then chakotay janeway 7 with paris BD, third ship is 5 6 khan.

[@DisneyBrad590]

Some players are denied access to many events - on a random basis. Top power players on our server can not see events lower level / power accounts are able to participate in. Support just send a pre-written message telling our servers top players to develop their accounts more if they wish to participate. :D

[@AndrewEddie]

Mantis is arguably more important than the Bajoran loop. Or to put it another way, both are worth investing in heavily.

[@joeldakin6942]

Another word for loops is “content”. Game needs and will constantly get more “content”. So STOP with the “no more loops”…. When they stop making loops they stop the game. That said, and Rev said it best. Just focus on the “content” you and your play style need/like.. My advice to people in the 40s… do what is fun for you. I’d rank it. Bajoran, voyager, Borg, mono. But stop wasting time on Stella, swarm, rogue, augment…. Even stop doing mantis till ur non mantis ship can do it. New content is more powerful than old content. Focus on new. Catch up when you can.

[@JamesLawton-wv5ti]

Personally, I just about had enough of scoplay adding more and more grinding and never listening to us, it kill the game and already is. 90% of players quitting are for the same reason too much to do.

[@Bleachguy2023]

one thing i have noticed since going back to a lower account the daily loot boxes have not changed at whatever the lowest chest gives 20 standard recruits on my main it gives 20 standard recruits when is that going to be updated it should scale based on ops levels same as the premium recruits from daily loot boxes starts at i think 40 and on my main the same 40 premiums i dont know why people dont mention it i think that needs a rework or is it just me 20 Standard recruits and 40 premiums is a piss take when higher levels

I don't really agree with the silent hostiles being a "measure of your account". I can easily kill solos several levels above my ops level but can barely kill 2 silent hostiles at my level. It feels like scopely just compensating for the never-ending power creep.

@@RevDeuce You have done an amazing job with the videos that you have released. They have been very helpful in progressing in the game. I am just starting to get a little bitter at the volume of items that need to be farmed. The the additional content that they added with Temporal Artifacts and Xindi Armadas is insulting. After running a series of these with my alliance I have 200 rare tokens and a rare requires 5000 to start. Scopley is adding more content and putting it behind a pay wall, when at this point, after tracking the amount of money I have spent on this game, I am cutting back hard on spending, and they are adding content that is obviously designed for spending.
