Scopely created a problem (Xindi grind) and then are selling the solution (Jonathan Archer). So while I agree that his captain ability is great, it's only great because of the problem Scopely created.
Yep! Same with this stupid Critical Damage Floor. Hey, all that crit research you've been doing for years? Well now it's going to *hurt* you. But wait, we have the solution to a problem we created, *more* research *and* a Prime you can pay $$ for! Crits should *never* do less than a regular hit. If something is immune to crits, then the crit just does normal damage, not no damage, otherwise what you're saying is they're immune to damage entirely and why are we even fighting them?
You say this like it hasn't been their plan for years. We are the idiots that let them do it by not walking away when they started this. They are a marketing company that has a side game connected to their donation app.
Totally agree, a meaningless ship and crew that will be old hat by the time the F2P players get there in six months time. There is always a work around, it may take much longer, but at least you avoided the rabbit hole.
@@Lucidity59 yep, I know for me the work around is a maxed Auger with the Voyager crew below deck and PBT on the bridge. Once I get enough to max the crit floor research I will constantly be able to get at least 3 per hull
Don't have the officers. Don't have the ship. Will continue to work on last year's releases and plan to revisit this video mid-summer. Thanks Rev! Scopely, gfy
Month 1: Here's a new grind. Month 2: Here's a new officer or ship to help with that grind and you have to pay to get it, or you can grind for 3 months and get it F2P. Month 3: Here's a new grind. This has been Scopely's MO for as long as I've been in the game.
yes if you have a chance to unlock Archer this month do it . I have been and recommend anyone pre ops 40 a couple times a week go grind ship xp in the 34 35 xindni so at ops 40 you have the scraps to hit the loop running and speed it up.
Pike moreau chen with doc below deck is also decent against aquatics for the average player. Scoplay really needs to launch a ftp way of getting all the officers in this loop, not just Archer if possible. Thanks for the video Rev 🍻
I’m using pilum at 50% loot and archer. I don’t have any other officers in that group yet, but I tested several officers and found cath and tlan get me a lot more loot.
Yes the nx-01 blueprints pull from exborg faction is a joke. Only doing single pull as spend for double pull is rediculous. You spend 250 resource just to get 2 blueprints. For that you should get 5.
I got my holodeck to level 5-got 1 (yes ONE) Ent E data shard. Now I have to wait until I get my holodeck to level 15 to get a second one? Doesn’t really seem like a viable sourcing option.
i don't know what level your ops is, but i got 17 Ent-E Datas at 5th level of my holodeck. I just hit level 15 and got another 17, so now i'll be getting Ent-E Troys. I'm not complaining...
Yes, he's worth it. As others have said, he's a fix to a problem Scopely created. I figured after last month, the fix would come in the form of a ship ot an officer, all for the low, low price of 100.00.
wow i did that same thing with E data lol.. nice.. but seems my berverly crew does more.. 10killls vs under 10 kills with snw crew or archer... still didnt try kelvin pike crew yet due to the lvl hostile is lower yet..
At ops 53/54 Archer feels like a bandaid on a bullet wound. While your double pull only costs 15k scraps, it's 100k scraps at this ops level, and archer does not really help with punching up to the 50+ xindi reptilian systems
you should be using either archer gg tal, or pike gg tal, you can hit pretty hard on battleships depending on the hull of your enterprise, also, the 15k/100k isnt based on ops, its ship tier, so it will get higher as you tier up the ship
Do you have, or can you make, different videos on the different types of crews? Because I have no idea what, or who is a "loot crew" or what other types of crews (and who they comprise of) there are. Thanks.
Personally I say yes, I'm ops44, if you pair him with Cath and T'Laan (I put Tendi, Tom Paris and Beckett Mariner below deck), if you have those, in my T6 Valdore I can hit about 8 L40 Xindi Reptilian hostiles before going boom. He does, however, get more loot than using TNG Picard, Pike etc. for the Xindi scraps so I'd say yes, he is worth it. Although he is limited to these hostiles. I haven't tried him with any other Enterprise officers though. The ex Borg favours, particularly crit damage floor, as Rev says, are a must to get the most out of him.
Instead of PMC I use AMC,(Archer instead of Pike) on a level 15 NX and I can grind about 16 level 40 aquatics...I'll try your crew for the loot and see what happens....
Definitely not a 5 minute grind time I can only hit the battleships and there spawn rate is horrendous the explorers and interceptors spawn very quickly whereas the battleships you’re lucky if u get a cluster every 20 mins and I’m double pulling 25k for 2 chests a day for the NX01 so there’s little leeway to be getting other bits
as you kil them, it respawns the other 2 types, so if you run out of battleships, hop to one of the other systems, or bring 2 ships so you can kill 2 types
Unfortunately for me at ops level 41 I am forced to use maxed 3* epic ships for level 40 Xindi grind. And since I do not have the Critical Damage Floor favor it is quite difficult.
Lv42 same here I use my max augar to kill 1 lv40. with full loot crew e pic e data and 5/11 I would get 130 loot per kill which is good as only need 800 for daily chest. Just got archer and now 1 kill gets me 240. Cheap repairs which is so good can just run augar again and again whoever long I want and stockpile up loot
@@westaussie80 I got Archer but I haven't tried him on my maxed Enterprise. I have only T'Pol from Archer's set. I haven't tried them on level 40 Xindi. I used until now Pike-Moreau-T'Lan and Cerritos buff. On my maxed Enterprise I also have installed an upgraded (I think level 15) Metreon Cascade forbidden tech.
Typically the Process time of an Xolia transaction on the PC is about 5 seconds so factor in about 3 minutes total to however many hours it takes for you to earn $107.00 US and that is your current answer. So I would estimate 2-16 hours depending on income.
given the concept of xindis and tal, they are both the absolute opposite. Xindis = Go in and kill fast Tal = long dragged fights with low damage high hulls hostiles Therefor, using Tal on them is a bad idea
So another I have/bought the new ship and/or new officers and you don't have them. So probably best to not waste your limited gameplay on this new pay to play feature?
He says officers this good 'NEED' to be sourcable immediately. He didn't say Archer should be. Right now your best chance of getting him is doing well in the Heroic SMS and SLB, if you feel he is worth plundering your materials into.
Hi commander Rev if you like to Iam finally back playing and I asked scopely if they can give me 6 days of ark points that I could not play they never emailed me back so Iam never going to finish this one .so can you see if there going to give a gift out for all the players that went through the start of the game.
Wow, would have been great if they hadn't cancelled all sourcing of this officer. This isnt the year of the xindi, it's the year that everyone stops playing.
Rev I wish people would stop complaining about scopley trying to make money it's a business if people don't want to spend then stop complaining about how long it takes to get things

Thank you for putting in a time and effort everyday to share with us the knowledge you've gained for Star Trek Fleet Command
Can't wait to hit 40 and start participating in this new content.
Good video thanks for the refresh on where to get Ent E Data
Thanks for sharing that info and the loot crew. Would love more videos that are specific to Crews with below decks for BEST advantages.
Would be nice to see a recruit store in the Enterprise tab, kind of like the rogue faction store
Thanks for the video! Very interested to hear how Enterprise officers will eventually be sourced
TY for the video and LLAP Rev Deuce!
Rev: I'm an old guy in his 50's, just a big kid. Really love your channel. Keep up the great work bud! 🖖👍
Awesome! Thank you!

I had been saving mats for awhile before getting Pilum so I was able to get him and promote him once, def helps with xindi but still a daily grind

If we get a defence officer for archer it would be very good for all of us.
Thanks Rev!
I’m using pilum at 50% loot and archer. I don’t have any other officers in that group yet, but I tested several officers and found cath and tlan get me a lot more loot.
At lvl 33 I got a full archer unlock on a leader board and have 100 shards towards his promotion.
Yes the nx-01 blueprints pull from exborg faction is a joke. Only doing single pull as spend for double pull is rediculous. You spend 250 resource just to get 2 blueprints. For that you should get 5.

I have archer and yes Rev is correct but I do have to hit down and I end up doing the loop for longer. Otherwise the cost of trit is ridiculous
@Rev Deuce Is he any good if you HAVEN'T done the Crit Floor? Would he actually be a detriment before you get those?
did i miss the lower decks crew?
What music is in the background?sounds like an old nintendo game
Yes, he's worth it. As others have said, he's a fix to a problem Scopely created. I figured after last month, the fix would come in the form of a ship ot an officer, all for the low, low price of 100.00.

what they should do is have nxo1 crew in the holodeck by completing missions
At ops 53/54 Archer feels like a bandaid on a bullet wound. While your double pull only costs 15k scraps, it's 100k scraps at this ops level, and archer does not really help with punching up to the 50+ xindi reptilian systems

Great video!
Do you have, or can you make, different videos on the different types of crews? Because I have no idea what, or who is a "loot crew" or what other types of crews (and who they comprise of) there are. Thanks.
Ent-E Picard/Ent-E Data/5of11 is a basic loot crew. They're just a combination of officers that increase rewards (loot as well as reputation)
Data shards from upgrading starts at what level holodeck?
Hands up those who saw this coming?
Thx Rev
Rev, I was able to unlock Archer a few minutes ago. What officers should I concentrate on unlocking next? Is he good at Tier 1?
Personally I say yes, I'm ops44, if you pair him with Cath and T'Laan (I put Tendi, Tom Paris and Beckett Mariner below deck), if you have those, in my T6 Valdore I can hit about 8 L40 Xindi Reptilian hostiles before going boom.

Unlocked him on SLB, but don't have trip
Instead of PMC I use AMC,(Archer instead of Pike) on a level 15 NX and I can grind about 16 level 40 aquatics...I'll try your crew for the loot and see what happens....
I'd rather see how much you got per hull than per kill since you have to use a token to get in
Archer and the NX-01, both should have been offered in the paid battle pass and events.
New here Need to See the NXO instructional again how do I find it

What critical floor do you need before Hugh becomes useful again?
4 at a minumum, max is best though

Right.
How long to get this officer? 6months? 1 year? 1year+?
Infinite time. No sourcing.
ill have him at tier two just from the sms. and i know another who doesnt spend at all who will also have them at tier 2 after this weekends sms.

Is he for sale only or can he be acquired for free
Is J. Archer good outside of Xindi and NX-1?
He is not, no
❤🎉 yay loot!
for killing xindi aquatic battleships, use Archer, Gerogo, and TAL...even at tier 1 ship, you can kill 3 of them easy
given the concept of xindis and tal, they are both the absolute opposite.
Xindis = Go in and kill fast
Tal = long dragged fights with low damage high hulls hostiles
Therefor, using Tal on them is a bad idea
@@derpizzadieb go try the crew on the aquatic battleships...the crew 100% works as i said.....it is a great idea and works...

what did u have under?
Bet it was Tendi due to Xindi bypassing shields
Wow, would have been great if they hadn't cancelled all sourcing of this officer. This isnt the year of the xindi, it's the year that everyone stops playing.
33% boost, not 25%, the % is based of of the original number not the end number
would be nice if you can get it but you can't.
Thats more of a 33% increase than a 25% one.
