I used Ent-E Pic, Ent-E Dat, & Five as my bridge officers with your suggested LD crew at video marker 6:10 and got 10 hits on battle ships with 16 hits on explorers and definitely got more loot than I was getting with my initial LD crew. Too bad I wasn't able to get the Doctor & Byr Ch'Kelrer in the LD crew for even more loot rewards.
On a side note(not sure if it was covered in an Archives video) but on the Talios Vidar side of things in archives, if you max out it's tiers you will receive triple faction lock in the Talios Mastery
At Ops35, I'm running Janeway (C), BLT, Kirk on an Enterprise, which lets me punch up to a couple dozen 40s (two-or-so double-pulls of loot per hull). They have a nice enough firing pattern for Janeway to operate, and their mitigation gets broken when BLT comes online.
BLT? I'm blanking on who that is.. I'm sure I'll feel stupide when you tell me.. I must need to eat lunch.. Bacon Lettuce Tomato is all I can think of ... hahah oh I think I got it.. BeLanaTorres ?
I use Pike Moreau Data, Hugh Mariner Tendi on a T6 Kelvin. This allows me to hit 40 interceptors only, which gets me enough loot on a hull for a full pull in the refinery
I'm a lvl 41 with a Tier 8 Enterprise. I find using SNW Spock with Khan and Gorkon works the best for me. I can usually get 4-5 hostiles. I use this crew for freebooters too.
From what i've seen, for now the chests bring around 6 times more material than the hostile themselves, so I focused on punching down a lil bit but doing 50+ hostiles with one hull and not caring on loot. Not ideal but it does my 61 ops daily with a margin. Using pike moreau data but not paris below deck since it's a bit redondant.
Using the old reliable janeway Torres lorca on pilum with lower deck stacked for damage and crit. Can comfortably grind the lvl 50 intys... Just need to wait for the shields to recharge. But barely take any hull damage. I realised quickly the intys and explorers are easier to counter with crews, artifacts, research. They all seem to die in 6 or 7 rounds. The burning from the battleships however.. That adds up quick if it takes 6 or 7 rounds to kill them. Not sure if there even is a counter for burning.
I use Trip Janeway Gorkon lower deck officers Paris Chappel and Hugh on Corvus that was to grind out in the 48 system and in the 42 system I went with same crew on Pilum and mayba Doc hugh and BLT will work depending on what tier your pilum is and if you dont have Trip you can always use BLT on top deck alongside Jane way.
Hey Rev, I use a very different crew from what you present here. On a T9 Kelvin, 50M ship, OPS 45, my best shot is M'BENGA SNW / Sam Kirk SNW / Una (or Hemmer, doesn't matter) and Doc/Hugh/TroiE/Torres below decks. Tremendous amount of mitigation, huge crits and iso, nice loot at the end. I'm targeting 40's to be more confortable, mais it does the job on 42's even if a K'T'inga would be better. Of course, that's possible with research trees according yo your level, not with 10 months delay on everything 😉
Best crew I have found was Janeway, Doc and Trip but as usual only on the interceptors from my T9 Pilum. Trip reduces the Crits a lot. Hitting 44s right now. 46 are much worse to hit and the chest loot only increases to 700 from 500 with the 44s
Explorers are the beefiest. If you have that severus, decius, charvanek crew, hit battleships. You only need to survive 5 rounds. Throw as much survivability as you can below deck, as adding more damage likely won't shorten the fight.
At ops 45 with a T7 K'Tinga, I run Ent-E Riker with data and troy as synergy officers. The extra speed let's me farm enough for a double pull in less than 10 minutes
It’s another shabby cut n paste job they’ll most likely introduce a fugly ship to combat them around Xmas with another 200 day grind which won’t be available for f2p to grind until at least Easter, its déjà vu all over again change the record scopley also the chest costs need reducing 🤦🏻♂️
I use janeway ent e and Georgiou with Paris Torres chapel and hugh lower deck on the crozier at tier 7 against the thec level 54 interceptors. The crit damage reduction helps. It's going tier 9 by end of arc and will add a new officer.
the 38s give i think 50 in the loot chest and to get one chest pull means 20 hostiles or 4 lv40s to get one chest pull i can just about do the 40s means 20 lv40s to do a full pull or 100 lv38s il try out a few of those recommended crews and see
Im ops 54 and use either t11 pilum or t5 northcutt withJaneway, tal, and Nero on bridge with Paris, torres, and pic Hugh below deck work well for grinding lvl 50 assimilated. Able to grind around 40 or so hostiles on 1 hull. 2 runs let me max pull each day
Strong Level 41. I don't have plox and I was doing just PMC and tried PMT but I found that the Loot crew gave me 3 times more loot. Have Hugh and Doc below decks
Still OPS 50 (locked) - I finally used T10 Pilum instead of T8 Tribune and used loot crew with Krit, Mitigation and loot bonus below. Did 42 hostile instead of typically 54-56 FKR hostiles. Guess I get about 1.5 Full Pulls with 1 hull.
OK here's my own findings, I'm a 53 With a Fresh T4 Corvus, If I run a loot crew I can only kill 12-13 ships in the 46 Brikker Area, now if I run my High mitigation grinding crew, T3Janeway (C), T4 Torress and T2 The Doctor on the side, Max Ghrush, T4 Tendi, T3 Mariner below deck, lvl 41 Syndicate, I can kill 51 in Brikker with 5800 in cargo and 51 crates, got 35.7K from the crates Oh yeah I'm in server 71 part of NCF with Panda Pirate :)
I use my 37 mil kelvin with e picard e data and janeway on bridge chapelle tom paris 7of 9 lower deck. I hit lvl 40 and have found the interceptors easiet to hit although not as much loot.
I'm an ops 62 and use Janeway doc and data e for most hostiles and I've found it to be best for me for these too. I laugh everytime I see a 60 running pike Moreau data e. They take so much more damage than me. I watched a 64 use a 4b Akira on 58s and die after 15. I managed 158 lvl 58s with a t10 rota...
One hull, I kill 60 54s with a 770m Sanctus. Standard red crew for me does fine killing every ship type. Janeway/Doc/Edata and Hugh/B'Lanna/Paris/Chapel.
2 things: 1, where did forbidden tech go? It’s no longer in the ship menu and I can’t switch out or upgrade anymore. And 2, wasn’t the Vindicator suppose to get its F2P path this month? Why isn’t Scopely telling us anything about that?
I’m using Rima (C), Kirk, Spock on a maxed B’Rel. Paris, Hugh, Ent-E Troi, PCI Hugh, and Tendi below deck. And getting 25 lvl 38 at a time. Don’t have my Augur at a level to punch higher yet. Hitting Interceptors only.
I'm level 47, I just realized I'm one of the "down the road" folks he mentioned.. my Kelvin is my strongest ship.. working on the Newton BP. that I should have been working on a long time ago..
@@jimonthecoast3234 eww, Valdore was the best for me at 42 since the Jellyfish events paid out Gas and Uncommon parts. Also, ships modeled after pizza cutters do not deserve to be built!!! Lol.
@@coachc133 I've managed to stall ops until I ran out of research nodes, aside from a few exborgs that are over 100 days long, this last time, I had to speed up buildings to unlock research.. which comparing my strength, I have a lot of power compared to my alliance mates several ops higher. I finally hit 100 million in the upper left window.. "camping" as long as you can is the way to go..
Janeway/Doc/Torres with Hugh, Troi, Charv, Paris under decks on t8 Sanctus gave me 195 kills of interceptors and explorers in level 52 system. This setup gives zero hull damage in all but 2 of the 12 shots per round. Can't really get better mitigation than that. Janeway and Doc are at t2 Torres is t3
this came in handy for my poor choice in alliance tourney task. lol 200pts on assEl-Aurians. yeesh. thats a grueller, if you dont have the right crew. (less points for lower than ops level)
i find them way to op or maybe its just me like xindi hostiles i can only do 5 to 6 lv40s with 300 a kill which means i can only do one chest a day full pull is 5k i really think the first set of arc officers should of helped with the hostiles but no pvp based
It’s another over complicated grind that takes far to much time too work out… this is supposed to be a game! Why can’t the devs add a smart crew button - select hostile type, select loot, evade or power as an option and auto crew your best crew. Most of us haven’t got time to work out what to hit with… the extra grind is bad enough…
Ops 56 T7 sanctus Janeway, dr, ente data...bd torres, tom Paris, pic Hugh, odo... max fortified plus dorrito buff hitting 58's and not caring what ship type i hit

Awesome wolfblade! I love a good loot run!

Even with max loot the boxes give out much more loot than the kill itself so was faster to stay alive and kill in 1 run even if hitting up

Is your Ent at 45? With this setup I was able to kill 20 lvl 40s on my level 45 Ent (Ops35). Thanks.
@@TacoJack Yes. For the difference, maybe we have slightly different below decks? I am also running Metreon Cascade on the Enterprise.

@@lunchpailpicture That's the difference - I'm not running Metreon Cascade
which hostile type are you hitting here. I see large differences between hitting interceptors versus the worst which are explorers.
I use Pike Moreau Data, Hugh Mariner Tendi on a T6 Kelvin. This allows me to hit 40 interceptors only, which gets me enough loot on a hull for a full pull in the refinery

Punch down, Speed Crew worked well for me. More Chaos modules from Reward boxes then from loot, so get as many boxes as fast as you can!

Not sure if there even is a counter for burning.
T11 pilum and ops 50 by the way.
I also found the interceptors were much easier than the battleships in my Tier 9 Pilum with loot crew.
Jw lorca phlox works even better as a bridge crew. Loot crews are pointless. Far more loot in the chests. So better to crew for more hostile kills.
E-Picard, E-Data and Nesmith with Paris, Torres, Hugh, Neelix and Chapel below is what I use for farming 54s.

I tested your crew versus Janeway, Doc, Trip and it was a little bit worse. Try this crew and post how it works for you on the Kelvin, plz.
Ty Rev Deuce for the video and LLAP!
Bold move in showing a log based graph to a general public 😂
Best crew I have found was Janeway, Doc and Trip but as usual only on the interceptors from my T9 Pilum. Trip reduces the Crits a lot. Hitting 44s right now. 46 are much worse to hit and the chest loot only increases to 700 from 500 with the 44s
Do these ships really give 1 single loot for each enemy. Am I doing something wrong?
At level 38 it does, at level 40 does give more
You are looking for the box drop. Scopley's way around loot officers.
What do you suggest for someone at level 36. I failed miserably with a maxed augur and pmc crew hitting a 40 explorer
Explorers are the beefiest. If you have that severus, decius, charvanek crew, hit battleships. You only need to survive 5 rounds. Throw as much survivability as you can below deck, as adding more damage likely won't shorten the fight.
I ran my max Strange New Worlds crew with good lower decks. Punched down some without much problem. I'll try some others
At ops 45 with a T7 K'Tinga, I run Ent-E Riker with data and troy as synergy officers. The extra speed let's me farm enough for a double pull in less than 10 minutes

Does chaos tech even have f2p sourcing?

What level you have to be to get chaos tech mats
Aside from Amargosa where do we find these?
This is very helpful
DO you think a 33 with a max sally can kill the lowest ship being a 38. I have tried with no luck.

38 doesn't give the materials in question.
@nickm9102 I think they are in the chests.
I messed up that crew and actually got better results.
Put Janeway as captain and got more hostiles and double loot with my Newton on the 42 hostiles.
Janeway as captain can be a very valuable officer! Janeway-EMH-EData is a pretty common "modern" anti-hostile crew, for example.
I found Janeway Khan and Lorca Janeway as captain.She doesn't show up in the log but you destroy the ship np
Thanks Rev
Janeway geo and lorca hit 50 pretty well 33 boxes roughly each run
Zero problems with the new enemies, OPS 59 with my sanctus 1BL power, I use very high critical build and ISO
Pike Moreau Tucker is also good
A friendly reminder, the bulk of players are nowhere near 50+ and don't have the option to punch down.
