Welcome to the game! All advice above is great, I would add/emphasize that you will get lots and lots of copies of the commons/uncommons/rares, so feel free to airlock as needed, especially human males as they don't help with cadet missions. This upcoming event cycle is good as you should try to participate enough to get to the recurring mega gold each week, these will be your best characters for a long time. The Insubordinate Mariner I got two stars on when I just started was still voyaging for almost a year, and new cards now are way more powerful than older cards. For the galaxy you will get a copy of the two purples if you do just one build in the first two days (and probably a 10X portal too, those are only missed on reruns) and can get three more copies of the new purple (though 130K points might be a bit of a grind) For the Galaxy, you use your spare items to craft special items and have a chance of getting rares that you can turn in for bonus points. the chance of getting rares goes up if you use featured crew or the same characters as the featured crew (not as high of a bonus), so when you get the free rares level them up a big if you can to improve your rare chance, which means less of the building steps. That's both less of a grind and uses less of your resources. Last weekend I managed two copies of the Snot Riker to probably level up if I have time this week. And as we are heading into an animated mega, I'm probably going to go hard for all these new cards. RIP sleep and resources and slots. If you pay money for the campaigns, there was drama again as they put a card already in the campaign in the new campaign, and then swapped it out last minute with good card Colonel Kira, almost enough to make me want to buy this campaign. and now it is event time! A full galaxy to kick off the Animated Mega, and some fun drama to go along with it! The purple Garak that was supposed to be the new purple this week got his art changed at the last minute to make it look more animated or something. Instead it just looks weird, and the older art is much better. And added to that, the announcement is wrong, the prize this week is gold Renegade Locarno. The Hurricane Pike is a purple in next weekend's skirmish/galaxy. He was also added to the game along with next week's prize, but both were then ganked from the game earlier today. I've been busy all day so no idea why or if it has to do with the other art being changed. Old vs. New!  quote:Event - Unique Offerings - April 18, 2024 - Galaxy - Mega-Event Week #1 Next week, Skirmish/Galaxy, as Animation Celebration Across the Space Nations continues...

insider posted:Somehow found this thread. Honestly didn't know there was a thread here. Writer of the Little Book here! Yes this got fully integrated into the Big Book (https://bigbook.app) but as far as I know no one has done a complete "best crew for this node" but eventually you'll just want to level them all up. The reason to focus on 1-2 is purely resource stretching in the early game. You'll have everyone stagnating at L60-70 and not going far if you try and level them all up at once. If you find you have a crew for a node you need to complete, just switch gears to that crew and keep going that way.

The 20 valor compensation for all the ingame wonkiness over the last few weeks helped us brute force our way through a Nightmare FBB for the first time! This game just keeps on giving and giving! Looking forward to trying out Ultra Nightmare for the first time.

lol good luck we've finished Nightmare exactly twice, both times with a lot of extra valor, and ultra nightmare is just an absolute lol no for us. We can't even clear nodes reasonably, there's not enough high level players trying to fill nodes to get close. Good luck! If you can get to 50% on ultra-nightmare you can get some bilitrium II, so it's worth trying.

I somehow got in a top 100 fleet by sheer luck and they let me stay as I'm active everyday even though they are all 80+ level and I just hit 40 haha. They have carried me thru many fleet bosses and it's really accelerated my progress just getting all the upgrades and unlocks. The wiki is nice because it lists all the cadets so I can just filter by highest Sci for each day for example and I know who I should level to crit the nodes. Anyway making good progress now and I think I'll be able to three star all the cadet missions in a few weeks.

Make sure you stop by store.startrektimelines.com and get your free Legends pack - which is a pack with 3 guaranteed beholds - one gold and two purples. Not sure it is worth the dilithium price normally but it would be good for prizes on different events/campaigns/etc I got two copies of Locarno despite galaxies being awful, and now we head towards a skirmish/galaxy. The question is just how much skirmishing I can get done, hopefully a lot, but as the two days are Thursday and Friday I might not have enough time those nights to do as much as I want. The prize is the best Ortegas in the game, another animated version from the crossover episode. She's Diplomacy/Security/Science so not that rare of skills and only #69 (nice) Voyager at the moment. Not a big deal if you miss but I love the animated stuff so will go after a copy. There is a purple Pike as well, but the recurring Spock seems like the best crew to bring as the ride-along for your skirmish crew. quote:Event - Flight Makes Right - April 25, 2024 - Skirmish/Galaxy [Hybrid] - Mega-Event Week #2 Next weekend is a Faction/Galaxy with a new purple Orion (each new Orion means one less of the terrible Orions you have to complete to finish that collection!) and a new Boimler as the prize. He isn't in the game yet so I don't know if he is any good. I spent most of the last week trying to clear slots and finally caught up with the purples, just in time to probably run out of room again in this new event. Will be playing less hard once the animated prizes stop

Thanks as well. I almost never read the messages they send, nice to be given free stuff. I got the Gold Benny Russell and the 4th star for two more purples, so can't complain. I also made it to the #1 spot in the Admiral Division for a brief moment the other day, so that was fun.
