  • Afternoon @everyone and sorry for the delay in getting this video out. Having some health issues, but, still wanted to get y'all some info Mirror Waves in Star Trek Fleet Command! These are definitely a bit harder than the original waves people are used to (with the entry point being G4 instead of G3), but as I always love to say YOU are stronger than you think you are.
    Topics covered:
    1. Crewing examples for low and mid 40s players. (Keys: Iso Damage, Mitigation, and Shields!)
    2. Why the mirror wave hostiles are so difficult to beat
    3. Tactics and Strategies: which hostiles to fight and where
    4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

      Same, Its the only thing in the game that I truly hate. Everything about it irritates me. It's not even that I can't do them. I can. As long as I don't hit the one shot kill ships I do ok. It's just I hate everything from the time it takes to that the put the content they did in its faction store. I tried one run this batch. Got killed immediately cause I didn't realize what ships to watch out for and have not done any more. Did not get one point in any wave event yet.

  • @LolmerTheLolmerian

    Maybe they should have fixed the lag (targeting hostiles and switching ships can sometimes not happen) in Waves before adding more Waves? Or that some devices (e.g. my Android tablet and Apple iPhone) will sometimes say "Lost Internet" when a Wave starts, even though my Internet is just fine (my PC never says that...), so I'm pretty useless for most of the first Wave while I restart. I'm not the only one getting this, I have several Alliance members with the same complaints.

    Look could not score in wave defense sms because Everytime I joined a mirror wd it either froze or it would not let me target hostiles and on top of that they removed event store currency from all grades of battle pass and as mission completion rewards looks like a lot of free to play guys will be lucky to hit 120k in currency this event store

    • @JohnThomas-ut3go
      @JohnThomas-ut3go Місяць тому

      1 of Revs video he said Scopley said that if you complete all sms events you will have enough to get the FC slot. He made comments with an expectation of more, but by what he said Scopley indicated I would not be surprised if your right and it is only 120k.- Meridian, Strike Team, Forbidden Tech & More! video 8:05 min in.
      As that feature is a $100 piece of content I would be surprised if they let it go cheaply in an event store. So getting 120k is not an unreasonable belief based off past Scopley choices.

Having to impulse through each system is silly. Maybe if its your first time in that system like you are charting mirror space. But to have that irritating mechanic AND a time limit? Doesnt make sense to me.

    3. Crewkng is important, of course... but. sourcing for half of the best officers to help is so limited it might as well not be there.

    I've been able to go as far as wave 6, but no further. I have been using the GG Tal setup and the janeway torres e-data crews and doing far better than with other crewing.
    Now... if only we actually could get enough ciphers for those times where it takes two runs or more to get the SMS done. I'm one of those that couldn't complete the latest sms of the first week by one hostile because of running out of ciphers. And no, I didn't go using them outside of doing it for the SMS. Or maybe make it so that the sms scoring isn't limited to the ship type (exp, int, bs). Or maybe both?

    Wave Defense on our Server was already in steep decline. The level 60+ players only seem to do the 40+ Waves, and they're so fast that they don't let a lot of the rest of us get hostiles in these new Mirror Waves. So more Wave Defense this isn't going to make things better overall.

    But between the old waves, The mirror extraction shooter zones and now mirror waves There is a growing dislike for the game in my alliance of the 40+ ops.
    And the low directives make it worse. I couldn't finish the event

    the issues wasn't about killing at least the first 2 waves for low to mid tier 40 player it was about the stupid sms. That required you to kill 30 hostiles in the mirror waves everyday. Which made it a giant scrum for the low level hostiles, and the surveys. Which you had 2 or 3 players attacking each of the large groups of hostiles.

    I didn't think these were too hard for the older server. Key is having two voyagers and a monaveen. I'm in the 5th strongest alliance on an OG server (17), and I have complete all 10 rounds in the 5 I have joined so far. Each time we have had 2 people with 5* rare ships, 2 with 5* uncommon, and 1 4* player. You need a fair amount of power, but you don't need 6* or 5* epic ships to beat these.

    I'm just about done trying to participate in this game's new content. Seems to take the entire arc plus 2 or 3 months to get the new ship/officer/etc you need in order to participate anyway... And East Coast Bias shows up strong with Group events in general, when you're on the west coast and can't commit more than 5 or 10 mins at a time until 10 pm (1am eastern). If you think waves are hard with 5 players, try doing them with 2. Advertising in Global/Alliance chats and/or hoping someone else might looks and notice you've started a 10 min timer is a ridiculous lobby system. It's a shame Scopely didn't bother to create a system to help better link players together for the group events they keep pushing on us

  • @h00ded0ne4
    @h00ded0ne4 Місяць тому

    I have a high 48, soon to be 49 account and a F2P 43 account. My issue with waves in general is that they have very specific prerequisites in order to not feel completely under-leveled (high FT's and artifacts). For the OG waves, high FT's and Artifacts are necessary to make it past Wave 6 even with a 4* ship. And you're only realistically making it through 10 waves with 5* ships. I actually laughed when they launched mirror waves and said they were for 4* as if the OG waves were designed for 3*, but normal 4* ships can't make it through 10 waves. I think waves really highlight how new content is being produced for the top 1% of powerful players while the larger playerbase is unable to succeed at the content, even by playing "smart".

For me, waves are terrible because you have to wait for ages to get people involved, some of which contribute very little so you rely on having whales to carry you through. Combined with limiting SMS scoring to specific ships adds insult to injury. Big fat F from me.
