Stella Efficiency | Cost of grinding the Outlaw Faction in STFC | When to scrap the Stella

[@billpacheco7673]

When trying to decide where to spend the various particles you get as you rep up in the Rogue faction, follow the path that includes Highway Robbery. The boost to your loot grabs is a huge impact on speed of Stella growth.

[@peteygodwin]

I absolutely agree, the first priority in the research tree has to be Highway Robbery!

[@Byn4r]

Prime Stella Efficiency is a huge one. It's basically a 50% off coupon for all your Stella upgrades, allowing you to bring baby stellas up to fighting shape way faster.

[@vlinderslagmarc]

Exactly. I always make sure i have 2 max tier stella's 1 at level 45, the other as a grinding process. I scrap as soon as i can get the new one up to tier 9. The prime stella is absolutely amazing! get it asap!

[@Danasax44]

Yes, I thought that it deserved more than a single line at the end of the video. It's the most important part of working on the Stella. To the point that if you are working on the Stella and are anywhere near lvl 34 I wouldn't spend any rares or epics on my ship until I had it. It's one of the easiest to see benefits a research can give in this game.

[@ichooselife88]

What about an Outlaw crew? Mudd, Tiza, and Sesha? Are PMC or Kirk Morale crew better than an Outlaw crew?

[@spyder001]

But unless you got the prime early Ops. It becomes near i.possible to get later.

[@riverfu889]

When I only had one Stella, I scrapped her at lv10 everyday for a month because the particle per uncommon uranium is higher than lv20. I basically scrap overnight, then rebuild and be ready for actions after dinner. That month's Stella particles were enough for my first branch of Stella researches

[@riverfu889]

Now two months later, I have long stopped scrapping Stella at lv 10 because the researches cost way more than what a lv10 scrap can support. I actually only scrapped once at lv25, then next scrap has been max Stella, and I'll only be scrapping at max going forward because max has best return for the rare and epic uranium spent.

[@Mike-fs3bv]

2 Stellas is key. I spent event store loot for my second. Well worth the effort.

[@stfcefiance3462]

Made sure to share this with the alliance, I had been hearing it come up in conversations a lot lately. Its really nice to have clarity on the scrapping question. Understanding that the scrapping level is heavily dependent on what you are able to accomplish as an alliance was a key take away for me. Appreciate the info man! I know a BUNCH of folks who are gonna benefit from your hard work yet again. Thank you so much from ALL of us!

[@michaeldougherty2807]

I frequently use 5, 6, Khan for the armadas.

[@daveanthat4191]

I basically skipped the whole thing till I f2p grinded prime stella efficiency. Now I'm all in, so easy to max a stella (ish).

[@michaelbellach5304]

Good video. I agree the main goal to scrapping is to gain as much stella particles as possible, which will allow you to push your stella research higher. Unlike other ship power progression in STFC, the stella's power is largely derived from how deep in the the research tree you get, ie your M level. It is a grind, but it is worth the time. The best thing about it is the majority of it can be F2P, it does just take time to get there. If you have a good alliance though that runs eclipse armadas regularly, the grind becomes easier.

[@lobot81]

Great video! Stella is one of the best new mechanics scopely has introduced. Yes, the research tree could be more front loaded, but as far as a mechanic, it's engaging, not overly time consuming, and player beneficial. One of my favorite benefits right now is using the pringles for G3 mats which in turn allows for redeeming uncommon 4* interceptor parts, which are slow to acquire and the extra g3 helps with maxing and scrapping level 26 ships.

[@dennislaur2515]

I use three Stellas. I have two maxed to use in armadas. I send one to armadas that other alliance members run as well as run one myself. The third I keep scrapping and lvling, and using to farm security code. A maxed Pike does help with lvling the ship as you get your M score up. I hit LvL 40 hostiles for 7k exp.

[@Typhin]

I've maxed rogue rep, I've 2 Stella and efficiency research. If you are starting out. I do not recommend scrapping anywhere between t5-t8. Rare is a massive wall without Stella efficiency and low reputation. Only scrap at t4 while you have 1 and when you have 2 keep one maxed. The level of the Stella affects loot from hostiles and armadas so having one high while the second muddles through is essential

[@panblackoak5477]

[@RevDeuce]

Thanks for listening

[@kriswatson3912]

prime stella as soon as you possibly can. scrap a legionary for the ore. It's just wonderful for this ship. secondly towards stella 70 or so never scrap anything short of maxxed stellas. i'm at 40k+ per research now so the 467k doesn't last that long. Prime rouge credits is also pretty nice to get the extra credits later. Absolutely get the red dress refit if possible. the +250% loot drop is wonderful. Second stella research tree also has highway robbery that increases loot drop again. you can get the stella at over 1000% increase in loot drop. that makes buying stuff in the store much easier also. I agree the price jump for almost no extra goo after you become better friends is aggravating as all heck though.

[@gdane8752]

The Outlaw research tree has some absolute necessary research nodes. From efficiencies to ship survivability it is a must. The downside is that there is a lot of one trick pony research in between the really good stuff which makes getting there a pain in the ass.

[@johngoodwin5936]

Biggest drag for me with progressing the Stella is the multi day cooldown on pulling rare's. I really wish they would move the cooldown to maybe 24 hours rather than the multiday cooldown. Right now I have plenty of rare that is just waiting for a chance to process in the faction store.

[@parakeet7267]

Thanks for the video. Good information as always. The game really needs to spawn more epic armadas. Makes it really hard to grab one when every alliance is doing the same thing.

[@lordasp72]

Also, we need regular and frequent Apex events or more sourcing for the Apex Research Medals from that event store. I am at the point where my research speed/building speed/scrapping speed is costing 1400+ apex research medals per level. Has really ticked me off with that event having been skipped for several months prior to this last screw up run of the event before this SNW arc.

[@Justin-dc6kz]

This needs to be done, I've been waiting on Apex medals for so long that when we got the scraps they threw us before the event I had them all spent as soon as I got them but still have TONS of research that I could do if only I could get the medals

[@strifenineteen]

Greetings from the future where Apex is every Thursday and you can gain medals as long as you have the materials

[@stanleymtoney]

The Stella prime research , Stella Skin and Highway robbery research are super helpful for the grind.

[@wilgriffin3500]

I'm at accomplice. But I can't get enough rares in order to make a successful recycling of my second Stella.. And very true it's going to be some grinding. But a very long long long time to grind if I was to never go up to level 29.. So what I've been doing is grinding at a level 28. Until I have what seems to be a lot of Stella particles. So that it'll be a easier upgrade to my level 29 or whatever it is that's past accomplice. .. because even though you can make it to accomplish. It doesn't necessarily guarantee a lot of rares. It takes a long time to master rares that are needed from doing armadas.

[@H..M..]

I have 3 Stella’s. One to grind, one to armada, and one for when one is scrapping. Outlaw tree is awesome. And you really need Stella prime. The breakdown is 1 maxed, 1 at T8, and one at T7. When #2 gets maxed, it gets scrapped and #3 becomes next to max. M137. research costs 250-300K per at this point.

[@brettmoffitt8223]

In lower levels, and if you don't mind waiting for the scrap time, I find it more efficient to scrap at L15 rather than L20. L15 costs 3685 uncommon uranium for 780 particles. L20 costs an additional 6312 uncommon uranium for just 740 more particles. You also save time on grinding.

[@stanleymtoney]

Stella is a super under-appreciated ship as is the outlaw tree. So much research there affects things way beyond the Stella, especially if you are also way behind on your Botany Bay. Having two stellas is vital for the build and scrap cycle. (oddly enough through a Scopley error I have 4.) Ive scrapped a max Stella at least 5 times. The

[@spacequack5470]

Nobody under appreciates the stella.....

[@monty30101987]

I've had a lot of success in Eclipse armadas with a Beverly Khan Gorkon/Lorca crew. Once your research gets up high enough (M119 for me) Beverly recovers enough shield to do more than fine against even the lvl 40 epics. And then with Khan and hull breach you start hitting pretty dang hard.

[@nunyabidness3075]

If you aren’t getting rares very quickly, you can alternate scrapping levels. Worked for me.

[@usalscorner]

The Armada research is also really nice and helps with ALL armadas...

[@xypho6468]

I agree with most of what you said. I actually got a third Stella, as Nowonshall and UltimateDJz advised. While two Stellas is a MUST have, a third is a bit of a luxury, but it actually is very useful too. The third Stella allows me to have my maxed Stella, ready to scrap as soon as the second one reaches t9 and the third one should be t5-6 by then. So that when I scrap the maxed one, the new high Stella can be used to do the armadas, the mid-range one can help doing armadas too or be grinding for security keys, or be waiting for goo to tier up. The third one will be very quickly t4 and needing some levelling while grinding keys. Having three Stellas allow you to have three Stellas at different stages of tiering up and I find that much more comfortable than when I had only 2. As for the crew, I use 5,6,Khan. It performs very well (both Khan and 6 are t4)! I wonder how it compares to your crew 5,Kirk,Spock.... When I need a second Stella in armadas I crew it with max damage crew (Riker, Tyler, Georgiou, I even use a preset slot for it) which also performs very well, but note that my M# is mid-range: 81/160, so the crew is starting to not really matter much anymore... I mean, I am NOT going to send a PMC crew in armadas, but like you said, the research is so strong that there is no real need to have a crew providing mitigation.

[@RevDeuce]

Nothing wrong with that logic at all!

Great video, that was really helpful. I have been grinding a combo of T4 and T5 scraps but wondered if I should scrap my max stella. I think I have enough epic, it is rares I need lol.

[@justQthx]

Double Stella here. It’s true, very beneficial to have 2.

[@rfdekwant3627]

Some math if you are able to scrape tier 5 stella every day you will get 11.1K every day - (this is feasible). That's 77.7K in the week every week. Tier 5 stella scrapping time is 14 hours, you can do almost 2 in a day. Sometimes it works then you have 2 extra. Rounded off 100K per week is possible. With this strategy. Cost and time are not very high. Takes 15 min each day

[@TheAUa]

@Rev Do officers like 5/11 or Geordie also increase the loot dropped by eclipse hostiles/armadas?

[@Phazonis]

Yes but this is negligible. Your stella ship ability already gives you arround 400% and add to that highway robbery with another buff in the same ball park. You do not need more officers that give Loot.

[@christopherfelker5524]

All aside.. position yourself this way for the Stella.. first it’s a garage project to tinker with that costs nothing to upgrade, MOST IMPORTANT it’s a great platform to learn crewsets AND (we never talk about this) it can help even out the ground between higher/mid/new players as an awesome Stella is only determined by your engagement with team, crewsets, and foresight. HAPPY HUNTING

[@Justin-dc6kz]

Although 2 stella are a great idea I've found there's an argument to be made for 3. I have 3 on my main account. 1 of them I maxed and keep maxed. The second I max but don't scrap until I have the uranium available to max another once I scrap this one. The last I upgrade to t4 level 20 with no upgrades filled and scrap it. I never run out of stella particles even though I'm using them to buy mats from the faction store.

[@minnesotasteve]

I have one maxed, the other is halfway through t7. I have enoug cresits to refine into parts to max the second but it is so slow. Thinking about scrapping my first one so k can start doing more research.

[@passqdinka9356]

The best guide creator for star treck 👍😀

[@therkyn]

Invest in 3 stellas. They sell at each arc store. 5bp per purchase. Why? When we get to the Apex events, and we're rushing for someone to get the red skin in the 2 day armada event, having a second maxed eclipse to participate in armadas is important... and then you've got a 3rd that is scrapping or maxing and can jump into some of the armadas with excess power. Its all about the eclipse armada events for 3, otherwise 2 is just fine.

[@spyder001]

@RevDeuce can we get an update to this' with a below decks crew notation. What stats are better for below.

[@riverstone1942]

If I didn't have access to epic, I'd rather scrap the Stella at tier 6 than tier 7. Rare uranium is TOUGH to get (much harder than epic since you'll get lots of epic credits in chests if your alliance does a lot of armadas). By scrapping as soon as you reach Tier 6/Level 30, you miss the long, long slog of getting enough rare to make it through that tier. At least you feel like you're doing something. Once you get access to Epic and get your second stella, take one to max 45 and then work on the second one. Once the second one gets past Rare and into Tier 7, scrap the maxed one and start rolling on the research. You don't have to wait to max them both. The research will help FAR more than the extra boost from being tier 9 instead of 7 or 8 (and tier 7 goes fast) You will be swimming in epic and uncommon credits at that point. Rare is actually the obstacle. Then once you scrap a maxed stella, research credits rather than stella particles become the limiting factor. So start collecting those research credits early!

[@jalektor9670]

There is a stella prime research that drops the cost of uranium for upgrading? Could you cover that in a video?

[@Phazonis]

Not much to tell. It halves your cost. Always useful to get and personally i think required if you want to go past T7 to T8. You do not want to spend full Epic Uranium Upgrade Price

[@jalektor9670]

@@Phazonis cheers

[@Phazonis]

A few notes on the video: 1. Stop recommending uping your rep for outlaws: You are actually at the absolute best rep level. You have all the medals so unlocked access to all research and have cheaper Uranium than later levels. Upgrading you Rep after that is actually bad for you. You need to grind more Codes and Armada Loot and the raise in Rewards does not scale equally. Example: At Partner you have to spend 10k Rare Loot (about 40-50% increase) to get 2000 Uranium (about a 8% increase). So Rep grinding only makes your exchange rates worse. Rep grind till you are at Revs Level and then do not (you still kinda have to cause research medals) 2.Scrapping the Stella: Rev pointed to the right places. You either scrap at T4 level 20, T7 level 35 or T9 level 45. Personally i found that scrapping one at T4 and one at T7 gives you a noticeable boost. However most important point is missing DO NOT attempt to level a stella to T9 without Prime Stella Efficiency. I think that prime is at T8 required, because you do not get that much Epic Armada Loot. It of course also helps before that point, but at T8 you only want to spend half the epic uranium for the upgrade.

[@paulbremner5477]

Research is gated on rep, not just the medals. So as you get further down the tree, and want to go up the ranks in researches you will find you are unable to if you've stopped increasing rep.

[@Phazonis]

@@paulbremner5477 The point stands. You do not want to increase rep. The game forces you yes, but then again the game has to force you to do it cause there is no good point for doing it for it's own sake.

[@paulbremner5477]

@@Phazonis to me it's actually a reasonable piece of game design (for a change), the tension of not wanting to make all store items more expensive vs wanting to progress in the research. I'd agree that early you might want to pause your rep growth for a bit once you have all the medals (perhaps until highway robbery is at a decent level and hopefully you have the skin), but ultimately you will end up needing to increase it.

[@Phazonis]

@@paulbremner5477 I do not know what your criteria for reasonable is, but I will call it bad. If there is tension beetween "I want to this" and " The Dev pushes me to do this" then we have bad game design. Simple check: Would you push Rep Level if the Davs wouldn't require you to do it?

WOW. (Lvl39 / server 13 / Full on OUTLAW rank) my rogue store looks nothing like yours. Fingers crossed that is a level thing. My two cents is that the Rogue Store Stella Particles to crystal, gas, ore is NOT worth it. There is just not really a solid reward to the cost of the particles. It does appear that the Stella uranium pay out / reward and use is really set up on about a 6 to 8 week rotation (if you do not buy any booster packs in the store and only claim one pack per opportunity. Totally agree, I had explored different levels but I prefer to wait a little extra time and MAX Stella 2 because the particle reward is just so much more compared even to Level 40. Also recommend getting the refit skin when it comes available to you. Those extra rewards can help cut the time you are on the game. As always, thank you for the content.

[@JackSkel44]

The item that interests me the most on the Stella tree is what on the tree will improve my Stella's strength. I already have two Stella's and do what Rev has outlined. However, there are lower ops level players with Stella's much higher in strength than my Stella's with higher experience level. I know a lot of that is officers, but I have higher level officers as well, so it has to be research that is making the difference. I am curious which researches improve the Stella the most. Which researches should I spend the most resources in? By the way, my current M rating is 67.

[@Phazonis]

Stella Power is always stunted. Most of the Researches have the when fighting Eclipse asterisk. So they won't show up in the power ranking. If you want to raise that Hull increases it. But then again power is not a good indicator of what your stella is capable of.

[@bchurchill49]

the order of scrapping and how many is a very important video to make

[@ryankent7039]

You probably should have noted that a number of research items in the Outlaw tree have reputation locks. Especially the ore/cry/gas efficiency ones. I have millions of rep to go before I can even level up some of them and I'm at 8.4 million rep right now. Perfect example, crystal building efficiency requires a rogue rep score of 11 million to get to level 7 of it. If I want to finish off Rogue Hulls to level 10 then I need 8.8 million rep. At least I'm close on that one. Scopley desperately needs to reformat how you get rep for the rogue faction because it is way, way, way too slow. They should at the very least make it so eclipse ships give rep for destroying them.

[@catalindamir9529]

If you are in an Alliance you will see that if you don't have a high Stella ALL THE TIME you will get very few Armada because you will always be pushed out of them by Players with higher Stellas. So don't even try to play this without 2. Once you got 2 you have to bring the first one to level 9 AND KEEP IT THERE FOREVER. That will allow you to be part of almost all Armadas for Stella and grow at your leisure over and over the second Stella.

Your lack of experience with this ship and exchange in general is kind of showing here. Early on in your Stella experience, the absolute long pole in the tent will be access to rare blue goo so that you can get it past level 30. That is a hard wall for many players in the upper 20s through mid 30s. By the time I was eventually able to move beyond blue goo and get into the epic pink goo, I actually had enough pink goo to kind of blow through the last few tiers of the Stella pretty easily. You also can't emphasize scrapping a legionary enough. Getting that Stella efficiency research done is absolutely vital. As you move up and scrap, rebuild, scrap, rebuild, cutting that blue goo wall in half with Stella efficiency is critical. Now that I have that and am in the upper 30s, my only occasional holdup is pink goo.

I always scrap max stellas only. I now have three at my disposal should I want to have 2 tiering up and one scrapping. What is very irritating, slightly touched upon in the video, is the costs vs benefits once you reach partner. Costs double for the warp cells to the 3* fast node systems for the same single warp cell. Even more irritating is there is no difference from partner to outlaw in costs or rewards other than getting past research that has outlaw rep requirements. 600k security codes for 1 warp cell is ridiculous when you look at the lower levels needing far less codes for a warp cell.

[@raceruler03]

@@Phazonis yeah, but I average like 30 uc per pull and its only g3. The ship parts are negligible compared to normal pulls. It might be better if they buffed it.

[@Phazonis]

@@raceruler03 it gets better with higher ops levels I think... but anyway if you maxed research what are you going to use those particles for anyway.

[@raceruler03]

@@Phazonis At ops 52, not any better lol

[@jypsum486]

up till I could get around M60ish I scrapped a uc stella every day or other day. lvl25-30? worked well for me

[@boardjock42]

I say don't scrap till you can rebuild to max. But that's me..

[@PriestoftheMetalGod]

Most of the Rare level scrapping is assuming you can get the Armadas to be able to get Rare Uranium.

[@chaunceycrosby517]

I do have a question. Do the quests give you anything to buy the stella bps faster? I have been putting all my credits towards getting the stella bps, but if the missions you can get from the rogue faction store will help me get the stella faster I'd like to do those.

[@RevDeuce]

No ,they do not.

[@jimbeanify]

I was grinding out my stella bps through the faction store and I ended up using reward tokens from an event ark to get some bps from there. Now it seems I can't buy stella bps eogue credits. did I screw up and lose my chance to source a stella outside of buying it?

I don't bother tiering up my 2nd Stella. Just level her up to 5 and scrap. Very inefficient but it's tough enough to tier up one Stella let alone 2. It would also be nice if u could grind rogue rep instead of using codes

[@martyndance7378]

What is the M score about anyone please I've never scrapped a strlla but only 2 modules away from maxing tier 5 by which time I've decided I will scrsp for the first time but my M score is 0/160 ?

[@williamsims0435]

M score 16 Hoover dam just got a stella

[@iamtriplec4094]

My big question is...why does the cost go up with your rep? The lower rep you have, the better the deal you get. At Accomplice, it's 47 loot per, KA 67, and Partner 95. It should go down.

[@roycotton5264]

Have Question do you think this game is Dying, see a lot of Die city on my Servers,they keep doing the same stuff every month So do you think this game going to be here for anther yr

[@RevDeuce]

No, I do not. Not yet anyway

[@davudcorsall1812]

Scopely should let us trade in Kumari and such blueprints for Stella blueprints! 😜🤪😂🤣😁

[@Shyranelch]

Grinding that early on in the game itself I have the advantage being done with the Outlaw tree, everything is researched. So, since repair cost of the Stella is very uninteresting, I usually use Kuron Captain, Kang & Linkasa to grind LVL40 Hostiles AND/OR "PAN" Crew, both for better impulse speed so I go as fast as possible, neglecting the additional incoming dmg. This absolutely is directed at those guys with good Stellas, but there's no point in wasting time while stupidly grinding hostiles during those events. Unfortunately later on, using the Stella Particles to gain more SHIp Parts comes at a silly rate ... it's really NOT worth the grind, absolutely neglectabel. Coming it at about 500 ship parts for a complete scrapped lvl45 Stella ....

Wait, did Iclick on the right video? Rev making a Stella video? What's next? A sarcophagus video?? 🤣🤣

[@spacequack5470]

You must be new. The Stella is easily one of the better ships in the game

[@nickpurvis5391]

@@spacequack5470 it was a joke because Rev has said so many times how far behind he is on his Stella research. Also he has said there is a sarcophagus video coming.

Can i upgrade Stella at lvl40 even though i need 7k of epic uranium?
