  • Yes, Neal Falconer deals the extra 5% damage to the Borg only. You slot him in an active ground slot, but the extra Borg damage applies to space as well as ground. Dylrene will give you 10% extra damage to Borg, but only in space. All damage means both weapon based damage and non-weapon damage is affected. If you have a…
  • For future reference, if no update is showing and that security token error message appears, rebooting your console will usually auto trigger the update download.
  • For increasing the mark level yes, by and large Phoenix upgrades are best combined with being easy to obtain. And using accelerators with them help make your stash go further. For rarity though, there are better options in some circumstances. For example, if you have an abundance of Salvaged Technology, crafting and using…
  • 250,000 Unrefined dil isn't that much really - only a month's worth of refining. If it's a problem, you might like to spread your time across new characters each of which will give you an additional 8,000 refining allowance. That helps prevent amassing millions of ore on just the one character. I had around 5 million…
  • As I understand it if you're after the sought after '?? of 47' Liberated Borg duty officers, some of which go for hundreds of millions of EC on the Exchange there is a higher drop rate opening 'Borg' lock boxes. Similarly if you're looking for Watcher bridge officers there is a higher chance from the 'A Safe Galaxy' lock…
  • You'd only be able to claim it from the reclaim store had you completed the event in which it was given away for free....the Anniversary event of 2018 I believe. With Epic Phoenix Tokens, unless your character already has the ship in their active roster or dry dock, you should be able to buy it on any of them for a single…
  • Yeah, the initial store list description is less than helpful, but if you press the 'Y' button on each you'll bring up more details and will see from the blurb that they are faction variations of the same T5 Dyson Science Destroyer... Starfleet Solanae - https://stowiki.net/wiki/Solanae_Dyson_Science_Destroyer KDF Nov -…
  • Yeah, a new holding that everyone has access to would be preferable. I was just thinking in the event of it being fleet based. Oh, and I know donating to armada fleets gives fleet credits too and have done many times in the past. What I meant was I'm at the maximum 10m fleet credits on most characters, so donating isn't…
  • If we were to see a new fleet holding or housing system as some kind of dilithium sink, I would hope they might also consider removing the need to enlist the co-operation of other players to create a new fleet too. At this point, with many fleets completed and presumably fewer new fleets being created now compared to the…
  • Are you sure about that? I may be wrong, but as far as I remember none of the Legendary bundles include an Epic Phoenix token. Could you mean a Mudd's Choice bundle instead, as many of them do?
  • If no new ships are going to be added, it might be nice to enable the prize pack epic tokens to be sold on the Exchange, so veteran players can get something for them. And newer players have an additional, easier way to catch up on obtaining the old event ships if they want to. Everyone would still buy Phoenix Packs for…
  • As someone who has the Jellyfish, but hasn't got around to trying it out yet... I've seen it used in TFO's (usually no more than one) but I tend not to notice if they might be AFK'ing or not. I'm more focussed on what I'm doing instead. Even if they are eating their dinner instead of actively taking part, I can't say I see…
  • In my experience, when you decommission ships the Admiralty card, trait and any completed ship mastery remain, regardless of whether the ship is an account unlock or a single character ship. Of course, if it's a single character ship decommissioning means you'll lose access to the ship itself even if the above remain.…
  • Whether left-stick or D-Pad, this appears to have been fixed with today's patch. Thanks guys.
  • And also if your work/sleep/play time is flexible you can eke out 25 days of progress (1,250) from a 21-day event. As the event timer is 20 hours, you can gain four hours every day if you're super-efficient about it. Meaning every five days you can wangle an extra run. Handy to know if you're a little behind. Can be a bit…
  • Yup, I bought out the first two events out on day one with the commendation tokens from the old event system and then played every day too. By that point I had 3,850 progress, so was able to complete the Event Campaign a week into the third event. Claimed the rewards back then but haven't quite decided which ship to get…
  • Most likely because you have a dilithium bonus pool active from completing the Ferengi Tour Of Duty 10/10 in the Admiralty system. Which will give you 50% extra dilithium ore on anything that gives dilithium as a reward, until the bonus pool is used up. Perhaps your other characters don't have this bonus pool active…
  • Not in a Mudd's bundle, but on Xbox at least, there have been a few listed on the Exchange recently for around 90 - 100 million EC.
  • It is a bit weird. Like Baucoin, I can also see the buyout in the store for the A Good Day To Die event, even though I completed it and claimed the Torchbearer rewards during the original run. Ordinarily a second chance buyout wouldn't be visible to us. When it first appeared, I had to look back to double-check I already…
  • Espionage - There are plenty of recurring generic missions that'll be available anywhere including ESD. Infiltrate the Orion Syndicate, Debrief Prisoner, Interrogation Resistance Programme, Telepathic Interrogation Resistance Programme and Uncover Intelligence Leak. All of these offer a decent chunk of Espionage XP and a…
  • I do that when I play Admiralty. I'll take the time with any mission with rewards of at least 50,000 EC or 500 dil. Anything less and I throw any old low level ship at it to get to the next Tour Of Duty mission.
  • I have a similar way. I do play the mini-game but I'll listen to a podcast, a Youtube video or old film while I do it. Amazing how many you can rack up over a few hours without really concentrating that much. I managed enough for 500 upgrades during this year's anniversary. Now seems like a good time for a step-by-step…
  • You're right, accelerators do only come from the R&D packs and I agree they're not worth buying from the Zen Store. I never have, except when looking to sell on the promotional version. You can also buy the accelerators directly from the Exchange though. And also the R&D packs, which give you a random selection of four…
  • Yeah of course Omega materials are a once a year thing, and only if you have the time and patience, since you can't buy or sell the materials anymore. While you have to farm the materials during the Anniversary, you can do the crafting of the upgrades at anytime afterwards. I focus on just the Omega quality upgrades…
  • I'd say if there's a console bundle you really want right now buy it, as the current 35% bundle sale doesn't get any better. As you say, the new bundle in a couple of weeks may not be of interest to you. Even if it is, the new bundle announcements when they come are usually for PC only initially. Giving us console players…
  • I acquired most of my T6X's from buying and selling on the Exchange as I feel they're overpriced in the Zen Store. Getting them through the Phoenix store instead has been a handy alternative when the Exchange price goes too high. Nice to have different options. I expect there will be a Phoenix event before long.
  • There is another way of guaranteeing a quality increase (on a low mark item) besides the Ultimate Tech Upgrade. Namely the Omega Tech Upgrades (Quality), which are crafted with the Omega materials only available by playing the anniversary event mini-game. Applying one of these to any low mark item during an upgrade event…
  • I didn't envision playing for very long nor buying the LTS when I started on Xbox in 2018, but did so via the grind a year later. No regrets about it either - the extra inventory space and the auto dil refine have come in handy over the years. I've never been concerned by the lack of a monthly stipend. I can (and do) earn…
  • Not really fussed. I have all the Mudd's bundles I want, having bought them upon release at the 50% off price. That's only about a third of them though. A couple of those I don't have contain only a single ship I'm interested in, which I'd only consider at 75% off. That previous 75% Mudd's bundle sale was at a time when…
