Maximum Loot in Solo Armadas | The STFC team up of Jaylah, Geordi, & 5 of 11 | Tips & Tricks

[@VictorMTaveras]

This is a good Trekmas present to start December. Thanks Rev. I'm not quite taking the 40s but this will make grinding the 35s much much better. 👍

Love your informative video on stfc. But 1 thing i have to do everytime I watch your video is the crank up the volume way up to hear you talk. After all that when the music come back on, I'm blown away the almost max volume. 🤣

[@fleetadmiralmatteo4123]

It never would have occurred to me to run the Franklin A. Neat trick.

[@lordsoth78]

@RevDeuce would love to see an update with new officers

[@mattulit6273]

I believe loot officers only boost the loot earned by the ship they're on. So to be clear, Jaylah only boosts the loot the FranklinA earns based on the % power it is of the whole solo armada. So the larger your other ships are compared to your FranklinA, the less impact Jaylah's loot bonus becomes. Just something to consider.

[@RevDeuce]

Except for Edicts* which is separate

[@TR-kk2bh]

@@RevDeuce Wouldn't that mean you would be better off using the Geordie crew on the valdore?

[@mattwhitely1067]

If 1 ship can solo id imagine geordi 5 bev would be best but tough to solo with that crew obviously

[@johnd5952]

@@RevDeuce Doesn't look to be any different to me. Doing a quick test on a little 40 I get 315K credits and18 edicts with 1 ship, as expected with 168% and 88% loot bonuses. Adding Jaylah and a Franklin-A I get 301K and 18 edicts. If Jaylah increased total edicts then I should be seeing more like 26, 18 however is the expected result based on only boosting her share of the edicts. It may be a different matter for the Defiant though, I don't have that ship to say.

[@derpizzadieb]

@@TR-kk2bh you still want your ship to survive and beat the armada, the greed crew is horrible for that and known for its ability to fail armadas.

Hey Rev, I actually tried this last week and had great success on lvl40 UC solo armadas. In 3 armadas, I almost got 1million loot, not sure how many edicts. Of course my Franklin-A died each time, because it's only a t4 ship at the moment. Thanks for posting a video and digging more into this awesome discovery.

[@paulsowerby632]

I don't have a defiant, so used my 2 strongest ships and frank A. Tried the crews as suggested, but I saw very little improvement in loot. This is probably due to the level of my officers and ships, so I'll try again after some upgrades or when I get a defiant.

[@davidmenchaca4975]

Thank you and yes I did learn a lot more 👍

[@RevDeuce]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stakeaphobicz498]

I'm an Ops 46 player, I go after 48s with ease. When I do the 50 UCs I need a bit more hot sauce from a cerritos to get through and end up with a dead ship or 2. That said, I am able to bang out more and do it cheaper by focusing on the 48 UCs and up. The extra loot is nice and if people have the buff juice to sustain, by all means go for it. But for efficiency finding that goldilocks zone is tough. Best defiant crew I been using isn't loot though, I use Picard, Bev, and Euradyce. My T4 Defiant survives often these days on the 50s, but i need new hull. I do a 48, I can squeeze another target or 2 in without having to rebuff ships.

[@mikepomeroy153]

[@dameongreen6797]

Proving there are no original ideas an Alliance mate pointed me to this video after spending the last week and a half playing with combos for max solo armada loot. Still a small fry (OP’s 35) but I’m seeing slightly more then a 100% increase in loot on the lvl 35 armada targets. Geordi with 75% bonus (not full synergy) on one ship, 5/11 as a sidecar to Riker on the second ship and Jay as a captain of the Franklin, and it doesn’t seem to matter how long the Franklin lives, just that the each ship has a loot bonus present at the start. Interested to try some of the crew shown in your video to see if I can get more ships to survive, lol

[@WouterVerbruggen]

You can also use ng crusher and cadet mcoy next to jaylah to boost loot even more. Great if you're stuck doing 35s when the 40s are too much for you. For me I get almost twice the loot from a 40 with "correct" crewing than a 35 with max loot crews, but that mostly because the step from 35s to 40s solomadas is way too big

[@johnd5952]

Looking at just some generic hostile loot, it does not look like Jaylah is actually boosted by those officers (which is expected for the kind of maneuver it is).

[@jamesdoman9733]

can you confirm that in your comparison between your different armadas that they were worth the same rewards. all 46's are worth varying amounts. i always scan every one i look at in a system to find the most valuable payout

[@johnd5952]

Edicts don't vary so much. If you're hitting 40 uncommons they will all have 10 edicts as base loot, it's just the credits that will vary. So as long as you're comparing edicts across the same level then the comparison is fine, and more edicts means more bonuses.

[@richardh.1600]

Thank you!!! Longest time I could not figure out why I had so much variability in loot payouts, had no idea each one paid different amounts.

We have called Geordi, Bev, 5 the Greed crew for quite some time when using it for normal armadas.

[@BigBoyNowYT]

Woot new videos up. Recently got back into the game from first month of launch lol. I am only op’s 15 playing some catch up. Got in a good alliance. I have been binge watching your videos to relearn. Thanks for the videos

[@Foxstab]

I stopped at 0:35 upon seeing the Frank-A as you begun speaking. So, just going to drop this here and see if I was right. Lemme guess: you're going to use Frank-A with Jaylah, another ship with Khan/Borg Jaylah/Borg Kras, and a third one with TNG Beverly/La Forge/Picard||Data. And now, to hit [play] and see if I was correct.

[@Foxstab]

Yup. Was right. Here's a pro-tip: Put Kirk and Zhou on Frank-A and pump its below deck with defence. Then stick buffs on it from Cerritors and Defiant. Maybe it'll last a little longer so it soaks some more of the damage that goes out to your bigger ships.

[@thomasclegg4348]

I used that setup and did a few tests. With the loot crew against a 45uc I got about 500k average loot. A 48uc with strongest crews I got 600k average loot.

[@jimmymiller4732]

We still need a reliable and relevant way that we can count on to source Jaylah and with this loot feature for the solo armadas even more so.

[@ShinjiteruYT]

Hey Rev, I think you have chosen bad crew comparisions to prove the worth of the franklinA + Jaylah. If you just used your valdore + defiant without the Ktinga, you would already get more loot since 5/11s loot bonus is applied to more damage coming from the valdore. That's why I am currently running lvl 35 solo armadas with 2 ships only (D4 with 5/11 and deviant with goerdi). Anyways, thanks for the tipp. Definitely going to try that out to see how much of a difference that really is for me.

[@Shyranelch]

As soon as a player is able to use OPS46 Ships this all becomes really just a little math stuff. You may also "try" to just go with two ships, as this increases the overall share a defiant with the best lootbonus gets from the summed up power, I really missed that idea in the video a little bit. Doing quite a loot of excel calculations I still always come up with the fact, that hitting as high as possible results in the best loot, all other neat trick options may yield in less ressources spent, I grant that, but I never got more loot, if I spread the loot shared by power and ships' respective lootbonus (crew & possible ship ability). This goes for a LVL20 Defiant, having 402% edict reward bonus.

[@shaunbrown2446]

But I also take my Newton in for its loot ability also along with my defiant which is T2.

[@martyhuss7927]

[@jonathonlaird7777]

Now the question is…how does this work without the defiant

[@slipstream8299]

Just tested this on a 35. It actually took an Edict away from me rather than doubling it. But doubled the credits at least. Though it doesn't seem like 5, Geordi, and Jaylah stacked together. So maybe just doesn't work on 35s? Something wrong with 35s maybe?

[@johnd5952]

Well they don't stack unless they're on the same ship. Instead each ship gets its own base loot, and then the bonuses specific to that ship are applied to their own base loot share. This is also why you can lose edicts, as loot truncates per ship instead of rounding.

[@slipstream8299]

Well, didn't lose the Edict until I put the Franklin A in the fight. And as I'm only 35, fighting 35s. My Franklin A is relatively close to power of my 2 other ships. Considering how easily I'm winning I could try using smaller ships, but not sure why an edict is falling off if its supposed to double it. Worst case scenario, shouldn't I still be getting 4 at least. Never had an issue when not using the loot officers, so don't see why using them would suddenly take away from my edicts.

[@johnd5952]

​@@slipstream8299 Worst case scenario is you get 3, because it truncates. So if for example your main ship gets 3.6 edicts and your Franklin-A gets 0.8 (doubled from 0.4), you end up with 3 and 0. This is a potential problem any time that you use multiple ships. Now if they're similar power you wouldn't expect 3 though, so might be worth checking that you've got Jaylah as captain and not on the side.

Though your intention for this video was maximize loot for solo armadas could this same concept not be used by alliances to boost collected loot from exchange and cardassian armadas with the smaller weaker players running loot crew while the bigs do the damage. Everyone benefits from it.

[@tomsylvester6851]

did you look at the base starting payouts, as these are not the same for every armada....

Edicts are the same by level.

[@jiggers65]

Tried 3 times and i get more with a single ent with 5 than i do with 3 ships with 5 geordie and jaylah ?

[@johnd5952]

Possible, depends on your ships, crews and bonuses. The base loot is shared between each of the three ships, and then each of them apply their loot bonuses.

[@Rossrolled]

Does this mean cadet Mccoy and net gwn bev crusher will also increase the loot payout from jaylah?

[@Paulostore]

And that is exactly why I wana ask for Deuce do a complementar video (or better a live) testing crews on Franklin. We need tests and data and crews.

Looking at just some generic hostile loot drops, no.

[@jiggers65]

Tried this on a 35 with 3 ships and only got 3 tokens instead of 4?

[@johnd5952]

Base loot is distributed between each of the ships, and truncated instead of rounded. So if each ship got 2/1.6/.4 you would get 2/1/0.

[@chnniceguy]

I tried with Jaylah and lvl35 Solo and she didnt work. Did direct comparison w/ w/o her and there is no difference.

[@johnd5952]

It does work, so might be an issue with your setup. You have her as captain on the Franklin or Franklin-A? And your other ships aren't already running 100% bonus (e.g. max rank 5of11)? Or is the ship only a fraction of the total fleet power and so double would be less than 1 edict still?

[@Castor7666]

trying tonight

[@markoconnor7163]

Anyone test this and not seeing good results? I dunno if Scopely have changed it but I just ran a test and got nothing like the loot I expected. With Geordie 5 and Jaylah I was boosting loot by 220% - howevr on 35 unc 48.5k creds - went to 85k creds and 4 edicts went up to 5 - I was expecting to get more loot than I do from a 40 unc with only 5 as a loot officer but it was nowhere close to that.

[@johnd5952]

Only one ship with all three officers, or three ships with one on each? The bonuses don't stack if they're not on the same ship, so if they're on multiple ships you're really getting the average of each weighted by the power ratio for that ship.

[@markoconnor7163]

@@johnd5952 That doesn't sound right.. 6:16 you can see rev has Geordie on 1 ship 5 on another and the Franklin with Jaylah (which is what I did) also as Jaylah and Geordie are captain abilities if what you said is right they couldn't be used together. The 1.3m Franklin has Jaylah, the 5.2m Augur had 5 and the 3.6m Enterprise has Geordie. I was kinda assuming that power difference doesn't affect the loot like in normal armadas, but maybe it does affect it for the loot bonus. 10.2m power Augur 5.3m = 51.9% of power with 40% loot bonus Ent 3.6m = 35.3% of power with 80% loot bonus Franklin 1.3m = 12.7% of power with 100% loot bonus If you look it like this then it makes more sense if the Franklin only got 12% of the loot and then had a 100% increase the numbers make more sense. Regardless I'm sticking to punching up to 40s as I get much more loot.

[@johnd5952]

@@markoconnor7163 Yeah, Rev has them split out over 3 ships, which is basically finding the right mix of being able to kill high enough levels for the higher base loot and maximising loot bonuses (and that it's weighted average is why the difference between his loot crew and non-loot crew isn't huge). If you can hit higher though that's generally better, but as you get more powerful it opens up options (like maybe you'll be able to kill the 40's with only 2 ships, and then you could add in the Franklin-A with Jaylah to get a little more loot out of them). It's not something I really do myself, but it's something to at least consider when you're at that point of 40's starting to get easier but maybe quite aren't ready for 43's.

The loot showing in the battlelog isn't right anyway.... to know the right loot you received you need to check what you have before in your inventory and what you have after the armada. In the battlelog it only shows 1 ship loot like it would in any other armadas. So the reason Rev has more loot in his battlelog is because he's using 2 weaker ships with his Valdore making the Valdore getting a bigger % of the loot from the armada

I'm unsure on the exact interaction with the Defiant, but ignoring that you basically want the highest average loot bonus across all ships. So if you have 1 ship with 60% bonus, then you'll get 160% loot. If you instead have ships with 60%/80%/100% and each gets say 60%/25%/15% of the base loot then you'll instead get 171% loot.

​@@mattwhitely1067 Yes, in the example where you can do it with only 1 ship and full loot crews then this would generally be better.

However.. this would mean that you're doing a pretty easy solo armada and if you hit up a level or 2 then running multiple ships with a lower average weighted bonus can still end up giving more overall loot (depending what you can get away with on each level of armada).

[@stakeaphobicz498]

I don't think with the build you have in this video a 50 UC would be possible. Especially if doing loot crews.

I'm lower level and hit a 35uc, took out Frankin-a (as expected). Took out my 2nd warship. Auger, my main ship minimal damage. Result as loot crew indicates I earned 5 Edicts (up from 4 shown in rewards chest). If I did my normal crew I'd lose vidar and have a scratch on Auger and light damage on Centurion. The loot crew is cool, but for lowered players I don't recommend it. When hitting bigger targets the loot multiplier appears to be worth it.

Wow...this might be the worst of all the bad ideas you've ever had...and no, I don't mean the hat.

[@RevDeuce]

Okay? lol. I'm curious what you think is bad about this. It's just math (and understanding how Scopely/the game does loot distribution)

[@KeatrithAmakiir]

I can kill 3x lvl 44 uncoms before repairing all my ships, then I tried these loot crews and got wrecked....no idea how
