Buy out for each missed event (with zero progress) is 2500 zen. I had to buy out two of them (as you correctly point out in the video to catch up) after returning from hiatus from the game.
Just a reminder you cannot use the T6 ship tokens to get Any T6 ship. None that are in the new Z store tab. Nor any ship of the same year ships. Some select ships also. These tokens are not equal to the Z store purchased ones. I learned this from tech support. Just FYI. Have fun all!
@@pictograph I think they're specifically talking about the T6 coupons awarded by the Event Campaign, that those specific ones cannot be used to get ships in the New tab and ones that were released this year. I know that the Infinity Lock Box ship reward is like that, not being able to grab any ships that were released this year. Outside of that, T6 Coupons can be used on any ship.
I like battle of the binary. High enemy concentration in a small area. Plus I like rescue aspect of it. It makes sense as a holo training mission. More TFO's should do that, like the new Wolf 359.
If memory serves, if it's a TFO that places a Holo-Emitter on your ship, like Binary Stars or Wolf 359, then you can't use things like saucer separation, multi-vector, or "Jelly Mode". I'll probably use my hockey pucks to AFK Starbase One once it hits the consoles in a month or two.
700 points for buyout then 50 points per day for 14 days comes out to another 700 points, event is for 20 days. I will complete the event campaign as I'm at 3600 points. I want that Connie III MW. Great video as always STU.
I love the Connie 3! It’s the primary ship for my Fed Sci toon. Solid platform for a FAW/broadside build. I do agree that it should’ve remained the Titan-A tho
Enjoy the content and went back a couple years worth for some great information and insight. Having switched between several systems, with a high-speed business connection, I am one of those 'fortunate group' who spends half the time being dropped at almost every map change. Tough to finish an event when that connection drops when starting, and over by the time I get back on, with what progress dumped. Even went so far as keeping a utility that ensure connections don't 'time out' shows constant connect to the patch server, but still disconnected. So, while I have been able to get at least one event done, of the past 5, I just can't see spending any cash on a game that has so many issues for so long. Nice for casual play, but after the 6th or more drops, that frustration level peaks and I'll switch to playing 'real world Frogger' in the street, or a relaxing game of solitaire.
Maybe a loaded question but which of the previous consoles are the best? Which of the previous events are worth prioritizing paying to complete? Thanks
Thanks for the heads up, as i'd kinda given up on completing the campaign as its halfway alreadu - never realised we could grind those extra days toward campaign points (and not just that event) points, to make up for earlier campaign events. Its cool that it seems sto tries to accommodate and attract and retain newbies joining this complex metaverse at any time of year , (the 'tutorials' an exception notwithstanding). For gen z, having to repeat already kinda useless outdated tutorials for each new toon character during short recruitment events , puts you off tolling more, and growing your participation. its anaethema to a generation of already totally literate gamers. Also missions should grant the entire sets, not have to be replayed etc. (Maybe a decade ago, but now?) because there is more than enough content to dedicate time and admittedly short easily distracted attention spans to, and friends get bored and drift to other competitor games not because of the complexity, which is actually attraction, but the now unnexessary repetitiveness and tedious regrinding. Rather reward the entire set from a mission, and promote more proactive immersion in the stimulating stuff of for example, different competitive builds, and such, and especially to bring back proper pvp Theres still so much potential and growing potential in this title for an entire new gen. g (or g.g , gen z gamers). Also, a humble request please here on yt or discord could you or a mod, add a link to a thread on your discord if theres time to re- release an update on how to access missions or story arcs removed (for some reason?) and episodes now unavavailable or that cannot be "hailed " or replayed. Seems a waste of content. Retro is cool too! And Especially those giving great gear. Also would it be possible to update and kinda 're release' your excellent previous vid (and update your links to your current keybind config files) on how you nowadays best arrange keybind your spam bars for trays, with so many extra new clickys with continyous new content , so many new free and other ships with their traits and tonnes of consoles, and with the t6x coupon extra slots adding so many new clickys for skills, traits, and consoles , and set bonuses all adding clickys to the trays , its even more overhelmingly confusing to optimally arrange on the hud ui. getting addicted to your unique content focusing on f2p and beginners im hoping to afford to " join channel" on here to support you , and ofc have on discord! Thanks.
What the guy above me said, you get the 700 campaign points for the buyout and then can earn another 50 per day of playing the event. And you start the 8k dil + 1k extra a day on day 1. And then you can repeat for the 5th and maybe 6th event as well if you need too
if we missed any of the past events will buying out the old / missed events provide us the points for the main reword or is it feeutial to even try at this point?
Lock box ships, gear availible are old these days. I don't buy gambling boxes either. This event is the only way to get promo ships without gambling. Looking forward to using the World Razer!
Yes, and because it’s on a 20h cooldown instead of a 24h cooldown, you can get it done in like 2 and a half events if you buy them out immediately and then run a featured TFO or mission every 20 hours
Is that for PC? I'm on Xbox. Btw I haven't missed any events this season, I'm on Xbox but it seems like it's stuck at 1450/4200 campaign progress. That don't seem right, right?
at 5:35, why buy out old event would it not be better to buy out the new one (get so much extra dilitium this way) and if needed the 5th event (again extra dillitium) ?????
Yes, there is 3 events left this year. If you play each event through all 21 days you can earn 1050 points per event. So you can still earn 3150 point this year without spending any money.
They also revealed another cryptic numerical code with a shot which gives very Dominion war game vibes too yesterday, backs up the rumour of the Achillies class coming to sto!! I want the flying brick though, gimme TYPHON
The forth event has been announced for the 2024 campaign in Star Trek Online. - MCS Forgive me, but I think you meant "fourth", not "forth". Thank you for letting us know about this STO event!
@@MCStu That is true within reason, but the time sink is immense and when you achieve your goal the free route it is very likely obsolete and your on the path to the next big thing, so money investment is inevitable.

I hate being negative about it because as I said I love this franchise.
Holy shit 😂 people still play this crap? I haven't played this In like 4 years. I see nothing has changed still crap graphics, and ground is still trash. They still doing "pay too win" lobi wall? Phoenix lock boxes with keys? I used to watch your channel back in da day lol was huge help and great information. I can't believe you are still at it.
I still play games from 20 years ago. Fallout 3, Generals, Red alert, counter strike, etc. Graphics are not everything. The graphics are accuate to the show. Lobi is not really needed. and Phoenix box doesnt use Keys.
phoenix boxes cost dilithium, c store ships are actually pretty good, they revamped the store i mean lockboxes are still a scam but i took a 5 year break and just came back in may as a free player (mostly) and im really into it, the graphics have gotten a lot better but im coming from xbox to pc. the story missions have ALL been re organized and will differ depending on ur faction or if ur a recruit they did something to the tutorial and it doesnt feel too much like a pain anymore. also they removed a lot of missions that were way to grindy like drozana station and nimbus 3, and placed them on an optional to do list. look its a free 2 play game for the first 50, just give it a go thru the tutorial and a few hrs after, u may be surprised as to what has changed, if not just un install. im having enough fun ive started my first ever science and engineering toon and i thought itd be a struggle to learn, but nah its super fun. temporal recruit event right now, awesome rewards and u just blow thru the first 50 levels.
Defense of Starbase One is the quickest TFO in this list IMO
It's also the most AFK-friendly unfortunately. I could already imagine 3-4 purple jellyfish ships doing nothing
@@cookiethegreat yep, why not? It's a story mode, all enemies have a very low hp.
@@cookiethegreat Report them on sight.
@@cookiethegreatso what? If people place their Jellies right, all enemies will be dispatched quickly and all escaping ships survive.
Definitely the easiest. I just pick the area nobody else is at and sit there destroying whoever pops up.... U know, Starfleet style. 🤣

Dang I’m a dimwit. I forgot to play past the event goals each time this year. That sucks but I won’t forget this time!
To hell with honor and battle at the binary stars. That's my two out of that list, though I'll do them all at least once.

3900 here, I can't wait. 6 days and I got it. I get the Vovin tomorrow so this is looking like a good time to Trek. LLAP 🖖
Unbelievable that on Console we still haven't had Event Camoaign 3 starting yet they are starting Event Campaign 4 on PC!!!!😢
I wonder if they will do a Klingon Recruitment event alongside this 4th installment of the Campaign Event.
They still haven't started Event 3 on console

2500 zen per buyout. I probably will buy a couple out as I just returned from a year+ hiatus. AND makes a huge difference on value compared to OR.
buy the new one out and get lots of exta dilitium per day !!

Are any of the rewards from the previous 3 events like shouldn't miss rewards?
if we missed any of the past events will buying out the old / missed events provide us the points for the main reword or is it feeutial to even try at this point?
I you are starting at 0, playing everyday of the next 3 events and buying out 2 of the previous events you will be able to complette the campaign.
Quick question if you buy out the new event then do it on a daily basis will you get more points towards the yearly event?
Yes, if you buy out on day one you get 700 points and if you still play every day for the 21 days you will get another 1050 points.
@@MCStu I'm on 2000 right now so I may look into it, looking forward to getting my Connie III.
Demon hunting is next as that is still on coming soon on my star trek online ps4 version
Fam whats the best reward for the summerevent. Is there snything good
Lobi rewards go as low as ONE PER Lockbox, Stu. I would know -- a 20 box open netted me 24 Lobi
Woot my Progress is at 3800/4200 so I just need 8 out of the 14 days to complete the Event Campaign! Also unlocked the Summer Event Ship today.
I'm around that number also
how did you get so high its 1050 per event right?
@@lem7238 I play the bonus dil days
@@lem7238 The timer resets every 20 hours so if you are crazy enough or have insomnia like I do you can get extra points.

Thank you stu
and in 15 days I would be able to get the whole treasure 15* 50 left
I really hope this isn't the beginning of yet another streak of Universal consoles as event rewards
We have 2 events going at the same time that will be for both of them
Ya know I can grind some dil for my Jem’Hadar character with this event.
you know they are giving away all 3 this year no choice to pick, you get all 3.. it says 'and' now rather than 'or'.
At 2,804 currently. I think I might be shy of completing it in the last three.
2500 zen was looking yesterday
If you buy out the event on day one, and continue to play daily does progress still happen for those 14 days? Can you double-dip like that?
Yes, and because it’s on a 20h cooldown instead of a 24h cooldown, you can get it done in like 2 and a half events if you buy them out immediately and then run a featured TFO or mission every 20 hours
i'm at 2956 points so far
Nice! I am almost finished with the Campaign. Only need 9 days of this Event.
REMAIN KLINGON IS BACK!
if that console has only a summon clickie and no passive than I have to wonder how good of a console it will be.......
Is that for PC? I'm on Xbox.
Btw I haven't missed any events this season, I'm on Xbox but it seems like it's stuck at 1450/4200 campaign progress. That don't seem right, right?
Ya, later for console
Events outside of the Seasonal stuff tend to be on a decent delay. Console players have only had the first two events.
I’m just 1000 points away from the grand prize. I’ll probably just buy it out.
@MC STU What happens if you are already at 4200/4200, will I still rack up event points?
No, you just get the reward for the current event
2000 - 2500 ZEN per Buyout
at 5:35, why buy out old event would it not be better to buy out the new one (get so much extra dilitium this way) and if needed the 5th event (again extra dillitium) ?????
Yes, you are correct
I am at 2850. All TFOs in this one are space.
If I’m at 2200/4200 now will I have time to finish it?
Yes, there is 3 events left this year. If you play each event through all 21 days you can earn 1050 points per event. So you can still earn 3150 point this year without spending any money.
They also revealed another cryptic numerical code with a shot which gives very Dominion war game vibes too yesterday, backs up the rumour of the Achillies class coming to sto!! I want the flying brick though, gimme TYPHON
Yeah xbox looks we are a effect behind PC Yeah this season is definitely worth grinding out 2 ship's
10,000? Surely you mean 1,000? Also I am at 3600/4000
Where's my comment?
am at 3300 points so not to far to go :D
i don't do these events but still enjoy your vids about them
Thank you, I appreciate it.
S h e e s h
I'm at 2300. I didn't figure out you keep getting points after until the last event. At least I don't have to pay $$ to finish
