STFC - NEW : Getting Thousands of epic directives 2.0 | What Armada Chests to pull and When!

[@NickAccount01]

I'd suggest upgrading your ACC to 46 as that unlocks a 30% armada loot drop bonus which will speed up gathering the epic/rare credits much more than you'll 'invest' to get the ACC to 46 :)

[@itsLewb]

That's a really good shout... maybe should have included that

[@mikes1689]

Where do you see the loot bonus? It’s not in the details on the ACC.

[@MrYeshi412]

@@mikes1689 Yeah I'm wondering that myself

[@mikes1689]

Just upgraded the AC to 45 about a week ago by following this method for getting the Epic directives. I've not had a good plan for pulling armada chests since I upgraded so this is very timely for me. Thanks!

[@itsLewb]

Glad I could help! good luck

[@JonathonCrowther]

Excellent video Lewb, thank you. I struggle to find time to run armadas so should really look to build up loot by running higher levels if I can. Would love to see a video on armada crews for all armada types if that is possible. There are so many good officers in the game that it can get confusing knowing what to run where.

[@itsLewb]

so true, and recent additions like voyager are really good. i have put most crews in the pre-set crews on the officer tool, which you can get a copy of from our discord

[@MarkTaylor-vm2fo]

THank you for the video, had totally missed that you got a starter chest and ill now be doing this loop.

[@itsLewb]

Awesome!!! good luck

[@Lloydson0027]

Very useful info thanks Lewb!

[@itsLewb]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nvanattia]

Great update. Thank you for the wok.

[@itsLewb]

Can’t believe I’m already rehashing lol

[@MadmanLink]

I'm at lvl 49 but my ACC is only 44. I've got some work to do and this really helps.

[@jonmorgan1124]

Hey Lewb, interested in what you said re scrapping the jelly. Is there a video on this? Great info on the armada chest btw. Thanks

[@itsLewb]

Coming soon! Jon.. thanks for your nice comments 😁

[@alejandroestrada3297]

Very informative video, tyvm! I would like to hear about general strategies for new G3 players as well Going for the first epics and all that stuff before Op39

[@itsLewb]

Sure thing! i do want to make content that reaches all levels, hence i separated this down a for different player segments. i will be doing a g3 progression, g4 progression and g5 progression video when i get the time soon.

[@sgardner]

Thanks for remembering little players Lewb 😊

[@itsLewb]

I do try lol

[@xenida6732]

Would love to see a video on loot crew armada crews vs a damage crew hitting up. Which pays out more? I personally go with the loot crew, lol

[@barkman1739]

Thanks for the video, Lewb. One question - for lower level players, can they not reach Cardassian armadas with a voyager to get more epic loot than the ones in Groombridge? Not sure what ops can build the voyager and what low-level warp research on it looks like. Maybe Feesha instead?

[@itsLewb]

voyager is ops 34 so pretty low really and will become your highest warp ship (when you do the research) really quickly! feesha is pretty poor to be honest until you get into the 40s, then it really ramps up!

[@andrewmosiman7861]

Fantastic information

[@itsLewb]

Thankyou so much for saying so 😁

[@ryanlane1153]

Thanks for the video, a little late for me as i have just gone to ops 51. But good information going forward...

[@itsLewb]

No worries! at least you know you need ACC 50 for ops 57 when you get there lol

[@mcw7433]

What slows me down is i only do Armadas that I can solo and run them open. I only really join my alliance if there short normally there a fight to get in them.

[@Endorhal173]

Where can we find the spreadsheet you showcased in the video? I didn't find it on Discord.

[@itsLewb]

Morning... it is in our discord (link in video description) go to the charts index channel and it is called Armada Host Chest Chart and Solomada Loot Calculator. Thanks

[@Endorhal173]

@@itsLewb Thanks, found it. :)

[@itsLewb]

Great!

[@Bleachguy2023]

how come the iss jelly bps dont appear in the g3 rare alliance chests i dont like that they dont would help sourcing with it

[@itsLewb]

this goes bck to when the jelly was a really premium ship, not i would argue that you just unlock it and the leave it at tier 1 for jelly brawl. the sourcing is much better than it used to be with BPs available in tier 3 territories.

[@Bleachguy2023]

@@itsLewb ya but expensive in territory but i assume with a maxed meridan and all territory research done that would leave the iss jelly and dont really work on it till in mid g4 for scrapping im op38 hoping to go into ops40 end of this year or around the start of next year i am mining 100k g4 raw mats a day with my amalgam and with my faction miners not at the required warp range of 60 minimum but working on them now and my efficiencys all that is left is exborg componant boost research but need around 50k to do one before it and CB one

[@MajorSamo]

Heck yeahhhhhh

[@Jerry1337]

why is it good for faction hunt? also thanks for the vid

[@itsLewb]

for the tiering scoring mechanic. when faction hunt rolls around between the arcs i will record a video of me completing the event :-)

[@padraigmarley2844]

Subbed 👍

[@itsLewb]

Thanks for the sub! really appreciate it!

[@jeremiahmitchell6420]

CAN WE HAS JALLYFEESH SCRAPPIN VIDEOS?

[@itsLewb]

Of course 😂😂

[@marcusunbenannt7477]

@@itsLewb Do you need to max the Jellyfish to efficiently scrap it or does this work at lower tiers as well?

[@eddiecharles8170]

The higher armada chests aren’t worth the value…. Why don’t they do live pulls to show how crappy the exchange rates are

[@itsLewb]

i would argue that for directives you are spot on.. but the G5 chests are far better value for g5 players than the g4. did you watch me live pull them at the end. got some good results!

[@raveloalejandro]

Hello

[@itsLewb]

Hello to you too :-)

[@user-mj2lj8id3z]

Max pull armada packs everyday?! I wish it was that easy. Most of us don't get enough directives to earn credits for a pull a day much less max. I'm not going to be "getting thousands of epic directives" any quicker than I already am though. Decent info otherwise but a little Click Bait-ish. Noted ✅

[@thehawk5141]

I thought the same.

[@itsLewb]

hi buddy... i know it may seem that it is tough, but it really is not once you get the likes of voyager and i do agree that you need some level of maturity on the server and in you alliance specifically to be able to have a larger player carry you, but it really is doable, i have been doing this method since around ops 38! And that was 2+ years ago. once you get into it, it becomes easier!

[@bennettmcknight2373]

Super obvious.

[@itsLewb]

you may think so, but amazing the amount of people who do not implore this strategy :)

[@vladimirkroslak4622]

I dont uderstand...can someone write it more simple?😂
