Looking back I realize I mentioned talking about why Dual Grinding is so important then forgot to go in depth on the dailies aspect of it: 1. You'll always finish dailies ( IMPORTANT ) 2. You'll stockpile repair speedups (I have 12,000 30minute ones!) saving you latinum 3. Quicker faction credit acquisition (officers!)
HI, I really enjoy your videos. However, I hit a wall. I'm lvl 19 and can't complete my dailies. Have original ships & loadouts suggested are not working for lvl 19 & 20 swarms. Also, suggested loadouts for battleship not working for lvl 26 & 27. Nothing I have tried is working. Any suggestions would be helpful. I have the enterprise crew & Gorkon. Keep up the excellent work.👍 Thanks in advance.
Do not go to friendly rep unless you buy a northstar. the dailies are impossible to do otherwise. I would reduce my rep back to neighbor by killing traders so the daily reverts to the lower level.
just to offer a clarification about jelly being a pay for ship. maybe it was 4+ years ago but as of 2020 it wasn't. it can be gotten over 2 events at 25 pbs each + the story arc 25. events and story arc missions are also a great way to get 2* and even 3* uncommon and even rare. at level 19 i have 2 North Stars at 332k and 227k (i mad a mistake by splitting it up instead of focusing on 1) both these ships help immensely lvl22 swarm, and high level story arc missions that reward massive amount of rss. theres plenty of reason and game play to stay at lvl 19
I believe it would be better to recommend camping at lvl 20 over 19. The advantages at 20 will help prepare you for the mid 20’s better than staying at 19. You get better events and rewards, and the ability to refine g3 material. Also, you get the Kehra which can easily crack a lvl 18 and 19 base, as the maxed Talla is no match for a T2 Kehra, or possibly T1 Kehra. The concept of camping at 20 would make a great video because there’s so much to talk about regarding the pros of staying at 20 for awhile for free to play players.
the only thing you would need do at ops19 is research up to date i agree better to camp at ops20 and have saved all your 7day loyalty tokens and 30days
I raced to 28... screwed myself. No officers (still only have two epic officers), no ships. It took me so so long to get back on track and I'm still feeling it now at 31.
Good movie again Deuce, thxs. I am camping at lvl19, all buildings done (did you no, that the Rafinery can be upgrade to lvl20.), doing last research. But my main problem is, Federation I have 416,585 points and Rom+Klin are at -200K So luts of work to get it back (saw the movie to late and started with Klingon trader killing. Now only federations. Also I need more and better commanders + the Franklin (45/90). So I will get my self a bungolow tent with jacussi, as camping will take long. Happy Greatings from me, out of The Netherlands
Great Video and Great info. But Bummer I just saw this and wasted many Photon Tokens I should have held on to. Starting now to save them. I'm lvl 19 so really helps. I camped at 14 and then 15 for a long time and it really helped.
Level 20 and over 1.000.000 of every *3 rss. I mine in regions where others are lvl 30-40, they cant hit me. I mine 24/7 with tho envoys, filling them up and no one can touch my overload. Even when they ask a lower level to attack me i comeback and totally destroy the level 22 they asked with my T7 145k NorthStar untill he begs me to spop even being in the biggest alliance.
Wait. You said " so you can smash the big buttons in your refinery " I remember a video where you stated that it's pointless to hit the 3 chest button and that you only use the one chest button because you don't get a noticeable difference between the two. Wich one do you use. Do you use the 3 chest refine or the one chest refine. P
I do my faction missions, but stash them intead of cashing them out. I did that with my klingon missions. After i had fed and rom locked i was -2mil in the hole with klingon. I csahed in all my finished klingon missions and was only -500k took 1 or 2 days to get positive after that.
Hey Rev, you have a list or video of where i should get my officers to before moving past 19? im fed klingon so im sure you need to unlock kirk and gorkon. how far along should i get them along with any other officers?
what i do to try keep factions even is whatever the second faction is i only activate that in daily faction event - Help/Contr when near a rank up once both are safe again after rank promotion i go back to the activation both
One of your last comments states that you hold on to quests "for when i need them later on". Can you clarify what you need them for later? Just for the materials or is there events or something else that you benefit by doing quests?
i have an ops17 F2P account and once you max a envoy or two at ops 16 not many other ships that need g2 the jelly can be decent i only get it to lv30 so has the wr20 so i can relocate into rator and on my faction im at neighbour rank close to friendly rank with rom and klingon them two factions have the best ships in my opinion on my main i went legion this one i want to try the D3 and its a cool ship thats my first goal as i play on my f2p very casually i still have the two envoys to work on means g2 crystal and g2 gas and i need 30k of each for my daily refines for the baby jelly not maxing my jelly helped me alot in my faction hostile grind between friendly and favoured il prob go ops18 and build my NS its about under 1k uncommon gas to get a baby jelly to lv30 when you need about 1.7k uncommon g2 ore to max a talla but a jelly from lv30 to lv35 not worth it an extra 1.8k uncommon g2 gas plus parts or lat
📝 I wish I could see how many hours ive watched of you. You have definitely fill a missing spot when it comes to mentors. It’s hard finding people who are real, honest, and put community first. GG
Hey Rev i didn’t know you can dual faction grind I’ve been doing federation and outlaw is this good also I’m lvl 19 or should I focus on Klingon and romulan
I camped at level 14 and max out the 3 combat ships also have 2 max out fortunates at this time, then stock piled 1900 uncommon crystal, and started grinding for envoy parts and frequency modulators (wc is ez coz I have max combat ships), once you have those, then jump to level 16 to build 2 envoy's and max them out, start mining 3 star material with one, (gas and crystal) start mining 2 star material (gas and crystal) with the other in preparation for the next ship at level 17 the USS Franklin, as a free 2 play CASUAL player I'm taking my time as I really cant compete with the hardcore players and big spenders. :)
Hey man, I boosted to 22 to get access to the 2nd option in the refinery for G3 resources and pumping out those now. I'm currently running a T5 NS with 80k power and the biggest problem seems to be finding those G3 survey parts, trying to not splash mass amounts of Lat on the NS upgrading. Also do you think it's best to max the NS as I go and next ship aim for the Vi'dar or Saladin? Edit - Also if I want to spend cash to help boost me upgrading my NS etc, what packs would you say are the best way to go? At the moment the packs I can see are Away Team Research Special (91 bucs), Prime Repair Cost Research (91 bucs), Prime Piercing Research (91 bucs), Prime Officer Research (91 bucs), Galaxy Research (45 bucs), Prime Hull (45 bucs), Ultra station and ship power packs both 91 bucs, 3 Ultra recruit packs for each Faction, 91 bucs each, Ultra Research pack (91 bucs), then Master station, Master ship and Master Recruit power packs all 45 bucs. Any input is much appreciated! Thanks.
DO NOT go to friendly in reputation if you are planning to camp level 19. The daily at friendly requires you to kill level 27 ships that have 87k power which is impossible to do with the 30k tier 2 ships you can get. If you buy the northstar you can do it but the daily takes like 2 hours to do because you can't reliably upgrade the northstar to kill more traders before having to repair because you cant get the tier 3 mats if you camp level 19.
If you have done all research and buildings of lvl19, is it then smart to park at lvl20 ? So you get Kehra 3* and scrapyard. Because Franklin parts take another 3 months and dual faction even longer.
@@RevDeuce thanks for that couldn't see it, always was gonna get the sally, my thoughts are these, I have a maxed free jelly, 2 maxed envoys and one 1 tier away, sitting at lvl 20 just now, I have franklin and bb as far as I can take them and almost 1 mill of each 3 star, built the kehra but not leveled it at all, how far does the jelly take me, do I wait to get the kumari or will I need to get the Vahklas to see me through to faction ships?
Hey Rev, its out of place but as a new player I was wondering if this game has "2x Officer chance events" besides miners..., I saved alot and dont wanne blow them on miners, so will their be something similar at some point?
Hey, AnotherDragonF2P here, the competitive guy that has no money :) I'll write a short sumary of my feelings, so everyone doesn't have to read the big texts below: > I disagree to camp at 19, I recommend people to actually rush ops 20 asap then sit there once done. > I disagree to spend faction credits into low tier recruit chests, they are way too valuable to me for that. > I totally agree with dual faction, chose which you like but have one of them Federation, it's a must have! > I totally agree with saving loyalty tokens for DVor BPs (unlocked at ops 23 in 30d chests) > I totally agree to max out combat research (anything below "unlock Kehra" = you max don't even ask about it) >I want to note the importance of repair researches from station tree. Extremely long and annoying but extremely mandatory still! >I totally agree to mine and stockpile some G3 mats a bit early on. 30K of each is good enough! >Small warning about early "FRIENDLY" with factions, dailies might become too hard to complete Some other points that people should not forget: > Do Augment missions! Get yourself a BB! Super important, you want it T7 as early as ops 24. A 120-150K ship is enough to unlock all Augment systems (doable as lvl 22-24) > You can max out all G2 ships it's ok, just don't forget about that "300 of each green materials" wall to ops 20 > Absolutely max out drydocks and defense turrets! > If you have some money to spend, North Star is very worth it! Can carry you up to level 26! > You may also buy the Franklin, great ship but can also have it for free and skip it until then, it's ok if swarm are a bit too hard early on > Jellyfish is an absolute waste of money, becomes obsolete at level 20 and super expensive, don't buy it! ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- I'm gonna be honest... "camping" at ops 19 used to make sense to me, but that was a really long time ago. as of now... It definitely doesn't anymore, and for one very simple reason: Ops 20 unlocks G3 content. The earlier unlocked the better! Improves drastically rewards from Arcs battlepasses aswell as other events. I also have to strongly disagree with using faction credits on low tier officer chests. This is such a waste of these which are so valuable... As a F2P I want to save them the most as possible, and with that in view the answer is simple: Wait for Recruit IV Chests. Yes, having 10M reput sounds very far away, but I don't even seem to lack of officers... Cadets are easy to recruit, Augment too, Pike and Moreau doesn't even show up in faction chests so, morale crew are meh until Spock T4 anyway... So... What's the use? I know you think different because you rather take your time and grow stronger for the sake of PvP, while my choices are purely for evolution effectiveness... I don't even care to have a weak ship, 150k Vahklas at lvl 24 and i'm skipping Kumari (to afford legionary), talk about a paper account haha But I can only recommend people to plan long term, and for this saving faction credits, aswell as unlocking G3 early are two "must haves", definitely.
If you're wanting to plan long term, you need to stick to the plan I've provided, so you won't miss out on key parts later (Armadas, Territory PvP, data mining, swarms, probes, latinum, etc.) All of this is built around the premise of allowing F2P to achieve all of these things. Would also point that some of the points are a bit off. For example, your opinion of the Jellyfish. The jelly can easily be the best hostile grinder into the 20s because it can casue ships to have 0 damage dealt. Just gotta know how to use it! (but if you have the jelly, you likely aren't f2p lol) You're even building the Legionary, which for most F2P is an extremely poor choice. It's simply not efficient. That said! Everyone should play the game how it brings them the most fun! I've pushed 5 f2p accounts into the 20s, and am constantly starting over to test new strategies! Never a bad idea to get further input!
What I meant about Jellyfish is that, if people want to spend money on ships they better afford North Star instead, much cheaper to get, cost very few green G3 materials to upgrade and can even hold until level 26, that's the perfect fit to save a lot by skipping all the G3 independant ships. Well, much better Legionary than Mayflower (especially considering I want Centurion next), and better skip Kumari than skip lvl 26 faction ship, that's my opinion, but yes going full Romulans ships as I planned is unusual in several ways, that I know don't worry ^^ I keep all my ships low tier anyway (T4 so far), saving as much green materials as possible, and it works pretty wonders so far! But with that streategy I need a lot of ships, hence my need to save faction credits. I also get ships from one only faction so I can focus on their specialized research later. The biggest issue as F2P is that it may take me a long time to get all Franklin, DVor and ViDar, but hopefully next month arc will fix this. But let's go on with my checklist: > Swarm - Too hard for now to do all dailies, as I have no franklin and leveled up fast, basically I am waiting for Centurion, and maxed "Frequency Modulator Cost Efficiency" research; > Data Mining, 100% good, I have a T6 BB, will soon start T7, and all systems unlocked, I already mine big amounts of data; > Territory PvP... Basically, I'll be the little guy that spam small ships to score and lure, so it's ok, someone have to do it after all; > Borg Probes, waiting for ViDar to start; > Latinum, I should move my a-- and start hitting some OPC DVors until I get mine, that's true; So far with everything I do, the only downside is that I am weak on armadas, that I must admit, but whatsoever no kind of crew will help when I have a 150K ship and my friends 600K-1.3M ^^ I play in top alliance, so they carry me, yeah.
Didn't you said you can grind jellyfish at lvl 18? Cuz I am in lvl 18 for 3+ days and have mot seen any events to get jelly BPs. Can you plz clarify this? Thanks and I enjoy your videos.
Oh Rev man. I just got done watching some of your videos from over a year today. I just got to ask you something. I hate to see myself on video. But I got to ask. Do you ever watch some of your early stuff and get a cringy feeling lmao bahahaha.
pirate cavey XRTD server 41, please talk to the stfc gods about rare and epic chest payouts, waited 7 days for epic, did a full pull got 1 measley ent bps and a bunch of hijacked bps, epic is supposed to be the best but it doesn't seem that way, sometimes I get better loot on a full rare pull, if your going to call it epic and make you wait 7 days to get it, then make the loot epic and worth the wait
People tend to level waaaay too quickly. Wost example; I know a 35 who has his ships and officers like a mediocre 29... Ok, he has a lvl32 ship, but stuck at tier 2 XD
"the worst you could have is be lvl 28,29 and have a T1 Spock." He is talking about me people like me 😀... He is talking about people like me😞. Well was, since I started back up I'm 2F rep grinding, researching and officer pulling. Only really building up the base for research buildings. Dailys are a joke. I'm completing almost from faction mining and kills alone. Hoping to be where should be in a few months.
You should really delete or modify this video to recommend camping at lvl 20 vs 19. You honestly should rush to 20 and want to get out of lvl 16-19 as fast as you can because lvl20 is the most important level to camp at. A maxed lvl 20 base can easily rush to lvl 25 within a few weeks which allows players to start working for a Vidar through special events. Lvl20 opens the door to g3 events. A Talla is garbage. A maxed Kehra is so cheap and easy to get. It will take you to lvl 28 with no problem for free to play players. Yes, the interceptor components will take away from a Saladin, but once you get that Kehra to t9, it can easily grind lvl 24 swarms and lvl 31 ships to easily get them back. A 300k Kehra at lvl 20 makes base raiding lvl 18 and 19’s very easy. Telling people to camp at lvl 19 is just awful advice.
Looking back I realize I mentioned talking about why Dual Grinding is so important then forgot to go in depth on the dailies aspect of it:
1. You'll always finish dailies ( IMPORTANT )
2. You'll stockpile repair speedups (I have 12,000 30minute ones!) saving you latinum

Hi. If you are doing all of this work, what keeps you from leveling up?
HI, I really enjoy your videos. However, I hit a wall. I'm lvl 19 and can't complete my dailies. Have original ships & loadouts suggested are not working for lvl 19 & 20 swarms.

I’m lvl 19 but I’m stuck
Do not go to friendly rep unless you buy a northstar. the dailies are impossible to do otherwise. I would reduce my rep back to neighbor by killing traders so the daily reverts to the lower level.
The Nicole de Boer intros make me smile every time. 🥰
just to offer a clarification about jelly being a pay for ship.
maybe it was 4+ years ago but as of 2020 it wasn't. it can be gotten over 2 events at 25 pbs each + the story arc 25.
events and story arc missions are also a great way to get 2* and even 3* uncommon and even rare.
at level 19 i have 2 North Stars at 332k and 227k (i mad a mistake by splitting it up instead of focusing on 1)
both these ships help immensely lvl22 swarm, and high level story arc missions that reward massive amount of rss.
theres plenty of reason and game play to stay at lvl 19
Thanks!
Welcome! Thank you so much!

Triple faction, one respected. Level 20. I’ve been camping since Jan 2019 ;)
There are a couple other advantages which aren’t mentioned in the video.

You should have the three ships maxed out at lv 14 before moving on.
I camped at level 14 and max out the 3 combat ships also have 2 max out fortunates at this time, then stock piled 1900 uncommon crystal, and started grinding for envoy parts and frequency modulators (wc is ez coz I have max combat ships), once you have those, then jump to level 16 to build 2 envoy's and max them out, start mining 3 star material with one, (gas and crystal) start mining 2 star material (gas and crystal) with the other in preparation for the next ship at level 17 the USS Franklin, as a free 2 play CASUAL player I'm taking my time as I really cant compete with the hardcore players and big spenders. :)
Where are the best places to mine three-star materials at level
So what if i have higher leveled crew members like my next gen group? I shudnt use nxt gem data or troi?
Should I still be telling my people to save Allegiance tokens? With the change to the desealing rods?
Hey man, I boosted to 22 to get access to the 2nd option in the refinery for G3 resources and pumping out those now. I'm currently running a T5 NS with 80k power and the biggest problem seems to be finding those G3 survey parts, trying to not splash mass amounts of Lat on the NS upgrading.

Any input is much appreciated! Thanks.
@Rev Deuce What officers should i have and up to which tier before moving up to 20?
needed this 10 months ago
Why does Spock not go on the Enterprise?
Is Franklin still obtainable without paying for it?
Have you done a level 29 yet?
I got advise to max Chen before 30, I did, and it's a game changer. I'm also level 29.
Hey rev, how do i get crystal when hostile to klingon
Hi how did you get the extra

I see it as positive. Or are you then more a target for plunder (lvl22 and higher) ?
Are photon tokens still a thing?
If I dont see photon tokens, should I wait until they come to my server or are they not comming?
oh dayam, im lvl 21 and never saved those loyalty chest...am I too late?

I'll write a short sumary of my feelings, so everyone doesn't have to read the big texts below:

>Small warning about early "FRIENDLY" with factions, dailies might become too hard to complete
Some other points that people should not forget:
> Do Augment missions! Get yourself a BB! Super important, you want it T7 as early as ops 24. A 120-150K ship is enough to unlock all Augment systems (doable as lvl 22-24)
> You can max out all G2 ships it's ok, just don't forget about that "300 of each green materials" wall to ops 20
> Absolutely max out drydocks and defense turrets!
> If you have some money to spend, North Star is very worth it! Can carry you up to level 26!
> You may also buy the Franklin, great ship but can also have it for free and skip it until then, it's ok if swarm are a bit too hard early on
> Jellyfish is an absolute waste of money, becomes obsolete at level 20 and super expensive, don't buy it!

I'm gonna be honest... "camping" at ops 19 used to make sense to me, but that was a really long time ago. as of now... It definitely doesn't anymore, and for one very simple reason:
Ops 20 unlocks G3 content. The earlier unlocked the better! Improves drastically rewards from Arcs battlepasses aswell as other events.
I also have to strongly disagree with using faction credits on low tier officer chests. This is such a waste of these which are so valuable... As a F2P I want to save them the most as possible, and with that in view the answer is simple: Wait for Recruit IV Chests.
Yes, having 10M reput sounds very far away, but I don't even seem to lack of officers... Cadets are easy to recruit, Augment too, Pike and Moreau doesn't even show up in faction chests so, morale crew are meh until Spock T4 anyway... So... What's the use?
I know you think different because you rather take your time and grow stronger for the sake of PvP, while my choices are purely for evolution effectiveness... I don't even care to have a weak ship, 150k Vahklas at lvl 24 and i'm skipping Kumari (to afford legionary), talk about a paper account haha
But I can only recommend people to plan long term, and for this saving faction credits, aswell as unlocking G3 early are two "must haves", definitely.
If you're wanting to plan long term, you need to stick to the plan I've provided, so you won't miss out on key parts later (Armadas, Territory PvP, data mining, swarms, probes, latinum, etc.) All of this is built around the premise of allowing F2P to achieve all of these things.
Would also point that some of the points are a bit off. For example, your opinion of the Jellyfish. The jelly can easily be the best hostile grinder into the 20s because it can casue ships to have 0 damage dealt. Just gotta know how to use it! (but if you have the jelly, you likely aren't f2p lol)
You're even building the Legionary, which for most F2P is an extremely poor choice. It's simply not efficient. That said! Everyone should play the game how it brings them the most fun! I've pushed 5 f2p accounts into the 20s, and am constantly starting over to test new strategies! Never a bad idea to get further input!
What I meant about Jellyfish is that, if people want to spend money on ships they better afford North Star instead, much cheaper to get, cost very few green G3 materials to upgrade and can even hold until level 26, that's the perfect fit to save a lot by skipping all the G3 independant ships.
Well, much better Legionary than Mayflower (especially considering I want Centurion next), and better skip Kumari than skip lvl 26 faction ship, that's my opinion, but yes going full Romulans ships as I planned is unusual in several ways, that I know don't worry ^^
I keep all my ships low tier anyway (T4 so far), saving as much green materials as possible, and it works pretty wonders so far!
But with that streategy I need a lot of ships, hence my need to save faction credits. I also get ships from one only faction so I can focus on their specialized research later.
The biggest issue as F2P is that it may take me a long time to get all Franklin, DVor and ViDar, but hopefully next month arc will fix this.
But let's go on with my checklist:
> Swarm - Too hard for now to do all dailies, as I have no franklin and leveled up fast, basically I am waiting for Centurion, and maxed "Frequency Modulator Cost Efficiency" research;
> Data Mining, 100% good, I have a T6 BB, will soon start T7, and all systems unlocked, I already mine big amounts of data;
> Territory PvP... Basically, I'll be the little guy that spam small ships to score and lure, so it's ok, someone have to do it after all;
> Borg Probes, waiting for ViDar to start;
> Latinum, I should move my a-- and start hitting some OPC DVors until I get mine, that's true;
So far with everything I do, the only downside is that I am weak on armadas, that I must admit, but whatsoever no kind of crew will help when I have a 150K ship and my friends 600K-1.3M ^^ I play in top alliance, so they carry me, yeah.
Didn't you said you can grind jellyfish at lvl 18? Cuz I am in lvl 18 for 3+ days and have mot seen any events to get jelly BPs. Can you plz clarify this? Thanks and I enjoy your videos.
It doesn't look like they're running that event anymore. Will try to contact them about it.
@@RevDeuce so sad, I was so hyped about it.
Wait! The North Star survey ship is good for fighting?
Comparatively speaking (to the level ranges) yes
@@RevDeuce ahhh that’s awesome to hear I’m currently 19 when can I expect to see it taper off?
The best thing to do on 19 for an f2p is to rush 22. Nothing you can get on 19 is worth losing 3* refinement.
Cool video. Look forward to the one you do for 29 as that is where I am currently camping
Coming soon!
Oh Rev man. I just got done watching some of your videos from over a year today. I just got to ask you something. I hate to see myself on video. But I got to ask. Do you ever watch some of your early stuff and get a cringy feeling lmao bahahaha.
Waiting on the L25 video.
Yeah Nicole! 🥰
thanks bro
pirate cavey XRTD server 41, please talk to the stfc gods about rare and epic chest payouts, waited 7 days for epic, did a full pull got 1 measley ent bps and a bunch of hijacked bps, epic is supposed to be the best but it doesn't seem that way, sometimes I get better loot on a full rare pull, if your going to call it epic and make you wait 7 days to get it, then make the loot epic and worth the wait
I’m camping at 29 until I get enough bp’s for an enterprise.
People tend to level waaaay too quickly. Wost example; I know a 35 who has his ships and officers like a mediocre 29... Ok, he has a lvl32 ship, but stuck at tier 2 XD
LOL. In a previous video Rev said get your materials up to 1 mil. I thought he meant each, not total. Sigh.
yussss
Photon Token Equality for all (servers)!
Don't hit the button for Ops 20😂
"the worst you could have is be lvl 28,29 and have a T1 Spock."
He is talking about me people like me 😀... He is talking about people like me😞.
Well was, since I started back up I'm 2F rep grinding, researching and officer pulling. Only really building up the base for research buildings. Dailys are a joke. I'm completing almost from faction mining and kills alone. Hoping to be where should be in a few months.
Ezri was so hott when she was on ds9
You should really delete or modify this video to recommend camping at lvl 20 vs 19. You honestly should rush to 20 and want to get out of lvl 16-19 as fast as you can because lvl20 is the most important level to camp at. A maxed lvl 20 base can easily rush to lvl 25 within a few weeks which allows players to start working for a Vidar through special events. Lvl20 opens the door to g3 events. A Talla is garbage. A maxed Kehra is so cheap and easy to get. It will take you to lvl 28 with no problem for free to play players. Yes, the interceptor components will take away from a Saladin, but once you get that Kehra to t9, it can easily grind lvl 24 swarms and lvl 31 ships to easily get them back. A 300k Kehra at lvl 20 makes base raiding lvl 18 and 19’s very easy. Telling people to camp at lvl 19 is just awful advice.
Your Beginning .... Sucks but most of your video is great.
