Rep Grinding in Star Trek Fleet Command | Why to do it & how to score high in SLBs that push it!

- A grind that @everyone has to push themselves to do is rep grinding. If you follow my STFC content on Twitch you know how much I tend to loathe rep grind. BUT, as a necessary evil in Star Trek Fleet Command what are some of the best (and most efficient) ways of going about it? Well in this quick video I try to go over some of the ways you can start your rep grind whether you're level 16 or level 60!
Topics covered:
1. Yes, I do agree, 51-70 as a SLB for rep is silly. BUT, it's still worth grinding for!
2. Crew abilities that boost rep
3. Ship abilities, research, fleet commanders, and more for rep grinding!
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

if you can afford it - with your ship power and dont really rely on efficiency: go for the - what i call - GREED crew. which is ente-pic as captain, along ent-e data and 5/11, also having alonzo freeman and the doc below decks while popping reputation exocomps.
yes you sacrifice an amount of possible kills but you gain more rep
Also if Paris below (with high enogh stacking) you still get max normal mitigation. And Hugh, Torres, E Troi / Odo there gives the extra damage. So it's not a weak kind of greed crew. Only 5 being the actual "greed" component.
The current rep grinding event has 6* and 5* in the same bracket. Thats BS
It's made for the whales. Can't make the babies upset.
This. Just another skip event, waste of time and the opposite of fun. Been a while now, perhaps better to start skipping the game entirely 😅 all my alliance members that left and still chat on discord seem way more happy after.
Logged in hopeful without seeing this vid. Saw the level 65's+ in same bracket as my mid 50 account, ignored event. Excellent game design.
Best crew is E-Picard (Capt.), E-Data, and 5 of 11 with the Doc and Alonzo Freeman below.
Additionally, use a faction ship is anti the faction you're hitting. Example, use a Rom ship to hit Fed. This is research dependent.
Using Fleet Commanders Kirk and Sloan for their rep skills and pop those rep exos.
I'm getting approx. 400K rep per kill on a Lvl 53 survey.
I'm a battlepass only Ops 48 using a T7 Korinar for grinding.
Thanks for the vid Rev!
ghalenar is better i get 30k more using him
@@oleonard7319 e pic and e data combo is 100% rep, my T4 5of11 is 80% rep, my max ghalenar is 20% rep. Unless scopely broke ghalenar, the numbers disagree
this is my rep grinding crew..
Soo fight for this as in buy rep packs??
This event is simply a sign that Scopely doesn't give a shit about average players: only about whales that spending tons of money - of course the bigwigs need holiday allowance. Scopely promised improvement, with this kind of events, is the immediate death blow to any form of trust in it
Thanks for the video Rev. This event and officer shard slbs for the G5 players is complete garbage. a G6 player can get 1 pack in the pay store and get billions of rep where a g5 can't get the same pack or hit the same hostiles and daily rewards are different per ops. But yet on the gorn event there is 51-55 and 56-60 ops brackets. I thought there wasn't enough of population to split the groups, where's the consistency here Scopley? On this channel, there is a video for standards.. Be sure to watch it. My favorite rep grinding crews - Janeway, EMH, Harry Kim.. 5, Gallenghar - Chen/tlann/ cath. SNW crew is a good 3rd.
Fleet Commander Sloan's first passive is also FKR rep, maxes at 50%
Logged in for first time in months, spent 40 mins claiming chests / refining / setting up buildings and research. Remembered why I quit in the first place so much work to do just the basics!
There's a limit to how many reds you can kill a day, soooo... your limited
Ghalenar/5/Harry Kim.
My grinding crew is Epic Pike, Moreau, T'laan on the Bridge, Alonzo Freeman in the first slot below decks
Crews:
1) E Pic / E Data / 5 of 11 (Alanso bd @ 20%) on 46 rare
2) Janeway / Kim / Moreau (Doc bd at 20%)
3) SNW James Kirk / SNW Hemmer / SNW Una
If I have time to sit down and focus, +100%, +70%, and +40% exos going together.
Don’t forget lower decks Alphonso
Picard-E, Data-E, Riker-E (or 5 for the loot). Throw Paris below for mitigation and you can kill any red with this crew.
Maybe look at event before you say “anyone can go after it!” Another scopley we don’t make our month event so let’s sell rep packs. So how does one compete with a cc warrior lol???
Simple, out grind them. That's what I did to finish mine. (Keep in mind if you're level 51+ that's likely impossible. I've chose to not go that high)
Ty Rev.
Saw revs base by mine. Had a feeling you were recording a video. 🤣
I use SNW Pike as captain, Harry Kim and Galinah (Chunky Borg) on side with Alonzo Freeman below decks and hit heavy surveys in Capital systems. With exocomps.
I got Rom to glorified, Fed and Klingon to commended. Although I have noticed increase isn't as much as it was before I reached commended.
There's also missions that give out rep, but I seem to have run out of Fed 45+ missions.
When I want to send 3 ships to hit in Sol, I’ll crew them with:
1) Beverly, Georgiou, Tal
2) Picard, Riker or Data, T’Laan
3) Pike, Moreau, Chen
1 & can hit the Heavies while 3 hits the regular transports
Right now my best punch up grind crew is 5, gorkon, e data, with chapel Hugh and the doctor below decks
Rep Grinding is something thats basically needed the more money you spend. As a f2p approaching OPS 56, my rep grinding was basically non existent and everything unlocked in time. I have seen more people messing up their reputation and get issues with completing their daily than complaining about a lack of rep.
had no idea pic/data/ and 5 effected rep too. Will have to try
Rep is treated as loot
With rep packs in the store, f2p has exactly 0% chance of winning this no matter how much they grind up to hostile daily limit... complete pay event which also boosts them in the arc long events
Pic Data 5 / Jw Kim B'lanna (lower deck hb really not needed for rep) / SNW
Alonso Bev Dr below on first ship.
i only have 5 of 11 and i have harry kim but how to fit them is a problem great to do a vid on rep crew
I use e-pic/5/fat borg on the bridge of my pilum with EMH and Freeman below. My Fat Borg gives me a higher percentage than Kim currently.
some perspective, I ground rep for over 20 hrs this event, had 1st place most of time. wake up this morning and a couple peeps won buying a pack or two. fortunately I was needing to rep anyway. But still, that's how easily you can lose
congrats on 50 K plus subscribers i been watchmaking for several month now it seem as if you where stuck at 48.1
Don't forget about dailies and Borg refinery
You said it before I got the chat open to type lol. As a lvl 53 I can't get top 50 in this, not a chance. This is one event that would pair nicely with an sms. That way I could at least get something for the grind. But i Don like a rep grind event. Takes some skill with crew and ship selection.
Im doing all dailies and grind after only the one i want to up with exocom! Almost icon with Romulan!
NOT every hostile gives reputation. Only FACTION hostiles drop reputation. There are TONS of Neutral hostiles that give no reputation.
Rep grinding sucks. I suggest ignoring it. Haven’t done it in a year+. My rep is currently 15bil fed and 121bil in Kli/Rom and I do none.
Yeah, I hate it too. I would advice doing it as little as possible and as late as possible while still meeting your goals (like a certain ship). Doing it early on is such a waste of time and energy when later you can get the same rep in 1 hit that earlier takes you days.
So many grinds in this game that it's impossible for most ppl to do them all and on top lots of rep grinding. Most of those other loops give more value and shouldn't be ignored in favor of too early and too ambitious rep grinding.
*For clarification, rep is very important. I do all the research for maxing it and when hitting faction hostiles use optimal rep boost crew for the purpose.
Just spending time on it early on or beyond your immediate need isn't worth it, in my opinion. Increase in payouts isn't that much.
P.S. Overall good and informative video.
Yeah hostile grinding for rep is silly
Omg ty Rev I been using the wrong damn officers 😢
What im here for!
Nobody has mentioned Ghalenar as a rep crew member, his officer ability.. so 5 (c) Ghalenar and Khan or Kang or (lots of other possibilities)
SPike SHemmer Lorca on interceptor, Jane Bela Doc and EPica EData Khan. I dont like use PMC cause on 51+ all ships have 50/50 shots on energy/kinect
What i wanna know why is most of ev. Redit this week tied behind killing gorn hostiles which alot of js at ops forty. An not do
Would have been fun to see it as a true grinders event, instead of swipe to win.
Are there any particularly good systems for rep grinding ?
lvl 22 server 402 thanks for the ideas
One of the advantages of the slow play is having great research and strong ships so can punch way up. I am still ops 45 but I will be grinding 5* tonight.
Faction grind crew 5/ghalenar/kim doctor/Alonzo bd
You forgot to mention away teams that pay out faction rep
How do I get my ships more power? grinding or what?
Isn’t there also a building that boosts rep rewards too?
Not going to grind for hours, for the potential of getting something. Add a SMS.
hours of grind can't compete with the rep they put in a single purchase
What about systems? Sol, Romulus and Kronos or go higher?
I think I'm cursed. Was hoping for an SLB like this, and of course it happens exactly when i barely have time to play... Oh and in the time that i do have the game is broken, oof
Am i too late to dual faction? Im respected in federation and enemy in klingon & romulan
MR T below deck one is cool hope i get enough currency to got him got t2 chapel and 40 bp to centi im pretty happy just did not like hirogen events lost alot of currency from that worst event ever in my opinion
"everyone can go after them" and then loose to the botters!
I mean, I won my bracket
I regret liking the Klingon first lock. As I don’t care about their ships and I could have used them to auto grind ship exp faster than in augment space.
Locking not liking.
Yup, another SLB that sucks for G5 players, as all SLBs since G6 was released ... Another SLB to ignore.
Rev - the 51-70 bracket isn't 5% of the game anymore. In my server, it's become a much larger portion of the population. I can't even get in the top 50 let alone hope to be competitive. I could grind all day and I still couldn't get close to a single daily turn-in for one of them. It's not an event a f2p can hope to win. Scopely needs to fix this.
Technically more than 5%, but it's still less than 10%. We have the numbers. less 25K players 51-70, over 250K active players.
@@RevDeuce I would assume that's across the entire active player base. How do those numbers change when you go to older servers?
Obviously older servers will have a higher population density north of 50. Absolutely, but the difficult in/for the game is where the population is as a whole.
Sloan has an always active fkr rep ability dont even need him in a seat.
The 51-70 bracket is beyond stupid.
How to win the FKR rep event money lots of money. Thank you scopley for the rep packs. Can't have the whales struggling now can we
61+ have weekly rep packs in each faction with 10+ bil rep
@@ChristineSpencer74 wow no wonder everyone under 60 is pissed off have the 61+ in their brackets but got to cater to those spenders right? Can't let them feel left out right
@@dragonheart8621 I would have had 15 bil without spending or grinding just off daily stuff.
@@ChristineSpencer74 just so unfair to people not in the 61+ range but oh well keep the whales happy and who cares for the f2p right?
Wait they tried to remove faction lock 😮. Thanks a lot for ensuring they were kept.
YEARS ago... like before I started playing almost 3 years ago
the spenders already won on server 73
I was looking forward to this until someone pointed out the pay store rep package. I'm also at the low end of my bracket so it was going to be tough anyway but with the pay store? Nah
I finished 1st, just ground it out!
@RevDeuce Nice! Congrats brother!
Event is worthless since us 50s can compete with g6. Need to break up brackets.
They did for the gorn event, but not this one. I wonder why Scopley did that.
@@kevinwilliamson7158 $$$$
@@kevinwilliamson7158 $$$
Good event, except bad bracketing and trash having this while also putting rep items in the $$ store (Which of course if Scopely's intent - to run it as P2W as they do with about everything.)
Those packs are sold every week, so that just happened to be two things coexisting at one time, but wasn't intention.
No point me trying to compete in the Rep event, only 50 places and competing with players who have all the Ent crew, and can kill higher level hostiles with better reputation gains. That's before you even talk about credit card warriors.
To me it just seems the game is more pay to win each month. Why have brackets anyway? Just let the high lvl spenders get the rewards they rightfully deserve. They spent all that money after all they are special
Yeah garbage event for anyone between 51-59. Not worth the time for half a officer shard if you happen to get into the top 50. Game is getting close to running it's course with me
12:30 I think you asked for the top 3 things from this video that grind my gears:
1. Saying that leveling up officers rather than tiering them increases their officer abilities.
2. You’re getting a Northcutt when the Talios does everything a Northcutt does
3. Calling the comment section “chat”
😂 have to troll you good once in a while - thanks for the video🖖
Comparing a Tally to a Northcutt is laughable.
not a f2p rep grind when they are selling rep 🙃
Let see, i can hit up to 1500 hostile for hours while others need 30 seconds to get 500M rep via cash store. yep,yeah totally, F2P have a chance.
This sucks! I fell behind on everything in the game... The amount of time needed to finish all events sucks.
This SLB was flawed, players with lots of away team credits just purchased rep..... pointless event
SLB bracket that includes 51-70 is worthless/pointless waste of time. It is a bad event.
Too much to effort and time, carnt be bothered with it
1. Janeway-Doc-Paris
2. SNW Pike - Una- Uhura
3. PMC
4. SNW Kirk- SNW Mbenga - SNW Spock
And the pay to win can just soend money on the, conveniently added rep packs. Disgusting business practice.
Those rep packs always exist each week for 60+. Plenty of people ground it out and won!
pathetic event
