What Crews To Use To Fight Hostiles In Star Trek Fleet Command | Levels 1-60 | Brief Overview

[@Greatblue56]

So many options! I love it. This is something that comes up all the time when I see non-alliance players out grinding with goofy crews. “Hey buddy, try this….” 😂

[@toxomanarachnicidus811]

Perhaps my number one complaint about situational crews: You're forced to return to base for every change. Can't even have officers swap seats on the bridge without being docked. Stupidly unrealistic and needless annoyance. You should be able to move officers freely within a ship at any time. And two ships in the same system should be able to swap crews.

[@ryanhull2125]

Do you know how bad Scopely would F THAT UP?

[@churl727]

Once again Rev comes through with the info i need to keep going at my best. I likely would have quit in frustration a couple years ago if not for his super helpful videos

[@richardkingston794]

Great video Rev. I always struggle with crews. Going to try these out tonight.

[@Seanax18]

just unlocked the Mantis about a hour ago lol great timing Rev.

[@phoenixwarrior3830]

Lol same

[@claytonparris432]

Gorkon, Kang is a must for mantis grinding. Especially if you are doing the speed grind method to fill your cargo quickly

[@jrspaulding8735]

When first starting out if you have them . 5, Gorkon ,Kang. If not Pmc will work. As you build it up and get different researches finished go with 2, Stonn ,5. Then once high enough,like myself, Say eff it run 5, Kuron, Una. Cause ..6 minutes 75 thousand cargo, Done💁🏻‍♂️. Nowwww with all that said. Forget all that. Get the Auger, get it to mid t5 at least. It will have a 95 thousand cargo. Run 5, Tal,GG/Nero and forget even running the Mantis anymore. Cause at 46 yer goin for a rare ship( Pilum ect) anyway, the Auger is just dropping it sooner🥳

[@derwynowen8609]

if you have an explorer, hopefully at least Enterprise, use that with Nero as captain with Tal and SNW Spock, and only hit APEX hostiles, which are interceptors so you gain the triangle. Mantis is a pain at lower levels

[@IknowImNotCrazyYoumightbe]

when i was level 40, 2+ yrs ago, my ent was 6M and that was considered very high. Now, my ent is almost 20M ...the research and primes, with buffs made all the ships insanely high

[@iPodKingCarter]

dope been waiting on someone to make an updated video

[@drakenred6908]

Given Tom Paris lower decks if you have him probably makes the two starter loadouts broken for leveling through most low 20s content, unfortunately if you don't get him which will be a problem next week you still have the three newbie sets untill you can start picking up Borg officers.

[@nsanerydah]

Just asked about this in alliance last night. Also about ships per dock for less swapping.

[@danielprieur7074]

Great video. With so many new officers it was difficult to mix and match new crews. To compliment this video, it would be nice to have a video showing different crews for armadas of different types (eg. eclipes, fkr, cardassian, formation, solo (jem'hadar and borg), etc.

[@VictorMTaveras]

This guy Rev. Thanks for the update

[@colinmgwilliam7087]

Another stonking video. Definite looking for better cres and your the go to guy 🙂 Cheers mate

[@RevDeuce]

Thanks 👍

[@Madwizardofthehat]

Hostile non armada grinding. Janeway, Dr, Torres, stack health & attack btd, add Rutherford if you need shield hp boost for Janeway capt ability. 2nd grind crew: 5of11 as capt, Lorca, Pic Beverly, btd Hugh Mariner and odo. Really only the two crews you need for red triangle destruction Side note: change 5of11 for snw uhrua if on an Interceptor and going for freebooters.

[@WouterVerbruggen]

I'm using 5 gg tal all the time to grind in capital system on the augur. Even though I cannot kill too many at a time, usually around 9-10 per hull, it is extremely efficient due to the augurs tiny repair costs compared to my g4 ships

[@andrewmcegan2711]

Just the video I needed as a returning player Rev. Thank you for the information and entertainment. I hope you and yours are as well as you can be.

[@joechefthefoodie401]

I will say i tried janeway, Kim and Torres on my valdore to grind 51-53 surveys for the Cerritos event and I was not disappointed. With that being said I have sunk every scrap of event store currency I have gotten into Torres just for the hull breach capability for armadas not even thinking about grinding. It is one of my deep space grind crews now

[@WishBBQ]

I have janeway, but for just plain grinding PMC is always miles and miles better it seems.

[@albertzapalski5287]

Just a note - Chakotay works only vs Armadas and only gives synergy vs hostiles. T4 Cath hahahaha, unobtainium from Elite recruit. That made my day.

[@SimonWitt]

I think it's worth pointing out the difference between red hostiles and yellow mission hostiles where PMC/PMT doesn't work but Five, Khan & Kang/Marcus/Charv works extremely well against the yellow hostiles and does surprisingly well at flipping the combat triangle

[@yosef79]

Five, Khan, Kang/Marcus/Charvenek are good for Q trial hostlies too.

[@JoeyM-y6t]

20 - 30 Heavies??? My kelvin (T4,L20) with Pike. Moreau, Chen can take out 70+ Federation Transports. It only can take out at best, 3 Heavies with PMC. My maxed Enterprise is lucky to take out 1 heavy (Beverly, Khan, HF Mudd). For borg probes, I use SNW Pike, SNW Uhura, 5, with Fat Borg below deck. I get over 1.6M in a level 37 system using my Talios (T6, L23). I used PMT for Borg probes on my Vidar, and for swarm on my Franklin and Franklin-A. For Freebooters I still use PMC and take out about 10 or so L48. I know research is everything but something isn't jiving here. Ju got some splainin to do Rev...

[@adamstone4700]

He said use Tlaan for the heavies

[@Dishman-lp4zq]

I have to agree, who is taking out 20-30 heavies with an Enterprise. Mine is tier 7, with Picard, Bev, T lann i get destoyed against 1 heavy. PMC i can take out about 5 reg capitol traders.

[@kainoat]

I'm still confused as to how we know which type of weapon hostiles are using.. in general I know that explorers use energy weapons, interceptors use kinetic but then you get into regular traders and heavy traders.. is it just something learned through reading? Like what do borg probes use being battleships?

[@vassagood]

Thanks for the reminders.

[@scamp1974]

Thank you for the update!

[@lukasjentschke8618]

Is there an overview about this crews? especially the lower decks crews in addition to the shown bridge crews?

[@MrNO_1of1]

For heavies, I use Beverly (c)/Georgiou/Tal. PMT didn't work as well for me. For Freebooters, I use SNW spock (c)/Khan/Pic Beverly on a T8 Enti.

[@jonathanscheib6480]

Yes rev is dead wrong about pmt for heavies. That crew dont work that good. I use young mud, bev, tlaan works way better than pmt.

[@slagdaricus]

Love the update, thanks for revisiting the topic, Rev

[@RevDeuce]

Any time!

[@brianpritchard9571]

Liked the content but you said you covered all hostiles...but you missed one....mission or yellow hostiles for completing them...i am trying various crews but not crazy happy yet...please can you tell me the most effective crew to kill these yellow hostiles...i am lvl 45 just..i have tasha yar and data but lvl 1...i would appreciate any help

[@chrisschmidt3409]

Almost 50k Rev. Let's go!!

[@johnnypacheco8546]

What are the Klingon hostile hunters

[@doddykartiwa4073]

i found SNW full synergy (with Pike as captain) most effective if the ship provides the firepower. So vidars and franklins only. Did not try using mantis because the explorer loot is too small

[@dunhillmint77]

Rev, it's such a waste to use Chakotay in the Voyager hostiles crew when he only procs for madas - never waste a slot with an ability that's not going to benefit you while grinding. BLT is great for grinding but she doesn't do mitigation, she's piercing. That's where the Doc comes in with mitigation. Best Voyager crew for grinding is Janeway Doc BLT, with attack and health builds below deck. If you want to use LD abilities, Mariner & Tendi are best suited and what I use on my 2nd grinder (on K'Tinga) while I'm grinding heavy transports in capital systems. 5 Khan Lorca is my primary grinding crew for grinding heavies. And for those who are going to ask, first officer listed is always the captain (any other way of listing crews is ineffectual).

[@dronepilotlv7759]

Is there a way I could get an updated "Crew Referance Guide?

[@GaryCroucher]

hi guys, have any of you tried the crew of snw uhura as captain, georgiou and tal , this crew works well for both standard 49 traders and the heavy 49 traders, without having to change anyone around, also works for freebooters, and most other hostiles

[@duaneg3242]

I use 5, tal, gg for almost everything now. Snw pike crew for probes and swarm (5/jayla)

[@Nobbyman1]

Definitely not for low levels this vid. I am level 23 and the only officer in this video that i have is Grush. I do not know how you think the low levels have these.

[@RodHorner]

Do you have a Lorca crew combo?

[@greenhatparts6552]

a common question that pops up in AC is how to kill 8742 with T1 lvl 5 Voyager with no up grades. my answer has been, Janeway/beleana/snw Spock, or Janeway/beleana/doc or one teammate found pike/Monroe/snw Spock worked.

[@TheBMW2000]

5, kang, gorkon works for me

[@NathanielMiller]

What do you think of using Pike/Picard-T'Laan/Cath-Chen, with Paris BD? (Obviously T'Laan/Cath not needed for Explorers, but for EXP/BAT...)

[@howardthompson7661]

A yr ago all my crew were PMC/T PBEVT/Jen and raiding. Raiding has gotten lost sos mostly armada crew. Hope refresh both

[@gabibistrita]

Why use Chatokay, armada only officer and don't even mention Doc? I use Janeway as captain and Torres and Doc as bridge officers, Doc gives mitigation and Torres piercing, so it is the perfect combination

[@nvanattia]

I have started using the SNW crew against LVL 40 Probes

[@NickHey]

Best crew for the Franklin: Pike Moreau, T'Laan. Easy dailies every time.

[@andycox5722]

If you have it, SNW Pike, SNW Spock, and Jaylah on the Franklin works well too.

[@jrspaulding8735]

True... But why take away yer best 2 Rep grinding officers up to level 52 hostiles? Grind rep at the same time..in the Frank run tng Laforge, Ta'lan, Cath. Instead of 70 swarms squashed ,ya get 67. Still a massively good run💁🏻‍♂️ My go to til I got the Frank-A. Don't use the crew on the A tho ..die too quickly 😂🤦‍♂️

[@FlashStrife]

I found Pike Moreau Janeway works better for swarms

[@miketaylor2714]

Need info on PvE crews for 61+. Unless I'm just blind. Been looking at a number of content providers and not finding anything that works.

[@canutecupid2621]

Fair content. You have a tendency to start talking about lower levels and then wander into L25 and up. Not much use to players trying to get setup properly when in the under L20 range. I'll be back, when I get there. Thanks for the info!

[@RevDeuce]

Under 20 is generally something that takes people 2-4 weeks. There's really only one hostile crew: NG Laforge-NG Crusher-Chen.

[@jhanick]

Snw pike, snw uhura and 5 good for borg probes

[@paulofilho6304]

I belive full SNW works even better them PMC cause they help kill hostiles fast while making ur mitigation on cap. As prof Talios farm crew is best on full SNW not PMC or PMT big motive: ships start to have energy AND kinect dmg near 50/50 so u only lower one or other.

[@carlnewman1924]

I'm finding Pike, Moreau and Janeway are great for Q Trial Hostiles.

[@rexgiraffe8297]

does t1 Janeway work?

[@carlnewman1924]

@@rexgiraffe8297 Depends on the hostile. T1 Janeway should still work well on most of them. I'm level 31 and have completed the 1* Battleship and 1* Interceptor Q Trials with my Saladin, mainly using PMJ.

[@strifenineteen]

I use Jeylah, SNW Spock and T'Lann for swarm

[@dunhillmint77]

@@strifenineteen actually Kang, if you have him maxed, is better than using T'Laan/Cath. Best crew to grind swarms, especially in the 40s is Jaylah SNW Spock Kang. You can punch up several levels higher than your dailies require to get more FM2s and to finish swarm events faster.

Not sure what drugs you’re on Rev but Janeway doesn’t work on Freebooters. I tried that exact crew you suggested and 1 lvl 45 Freebooter took half of my hull health 👎🏼

[@derpizzadieb]

Oof i wouldnt nessessarily go for full Janeway crew against freebooters. Even without sending 100% of the incoming damage to your shields they do lots of damage to your shields, this will deplete your shields fast and take hugh chunks out of your hull if you go a little too high. Instead take something like SNW Spock/Uhura/Ortegas, Georgiou/Nero and Tal, or SNW Spock/Uhura/Ortegas, PIC Beverly, Decius or SNW Spock/Uhura/Ortegas, Gorkon/Lorca, Khan (no Hugh LD) or Chang, Gorkon/Lorca, Khan (no Hugh LD)

[@mingkizzer9896]

[@matthewhorton2156]

Not got lorca, use gorkon actually more reliable

[@petey5358]

Lorca does well if you need hull breach on the first shot, or if your ship doesn't fire many shots. If your ship only fires 1-3 weapons with 1-2 shots each, Lorca can proc HB more reliably than Gorkon. Gorkon does well if you have a high crit chance, fire many shots, and don't need hull breach on the first shot. Which one is more reliable depends on your ship and officer tier.
