  • Good afternoon and good evening @everyone and I hope you're having a great Monday! I recently completed by F2P path to unlocking Sloan in the Section 31 store and I'm here to break down why everyone should take advantage of this fleet commander. Waves take coordination of a good alliance, but the rewards can be huge! So, let's discuss why he is one of the best routes for F2P to go in Star Trek Fleet Command
    Topics covered:
    1. Sourcing FC Sloan and the potential hurdles (waves/credits/etc.)
    2. How to get more slots for commanders
    3. Each of Sloan's abilities
    4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

    I’m sorry with all the grinds out there and the issues people still have doing waves, I’ve stopped doing waves, I just find it takes to long to do

    • @BossCyan1d3
      @BossCyan1d3 26 днів тому +4

      between waves and MU its almost a 45m timesink. games long since gotten out of control as far as how much time they are asking for in these grind loops they seem to keep adding monthly.

    • @AnOminous1
      @AnOminous1 26 днів тому +1

      I rarely do waves either. Good rewards, but I also feel it takes too long to do too often.
      Which is fine. I appreciate they have enough to do that I can pick and choose what works for me.

    • @barkman1739
      @barkman1739 25 днів тому

      Do 1 wave to finish your WDBP event. Often you get paid double for your efforts. And yeah, MU and WD are the worst grinds in the game for sure.

    Still working on him myself... 94/100... He wasn't super high on the priority list since I have FC Locutus and Seven so I didn't pull him every day. But I made it a point to pull him as much as I could because I did hear he had some nice abilities like cost efficiency for FT upgrades.

    Good tips thanks. Been trying to figure out for some while which FC to level next. Main is Kirk. But just unlocked the second Command slot. So will use Sloan as per your advice. :)
    Question: After the 6H timmer for on duty is up. Do you always have to un-seat the FC then pick the FC again and press the green Confirm button? That's what I've been doing. But if you play a lot it's several times a day. Including now if you have more than 1 FC it will double up the number of clicks.

    Brilliant abilities. Sooooo hard to get enough wave credits to get enough skill points... In the meantime, at least the initial levelling up gets you enough to max out the most delicious things, like the Forbidden Tech efficiencies! Mmm. He overtook Spock as my second slot. Good stuff.

  • @rivaltheeminent2553
    @rivaltheeminent2553 26 днів тому +1

    Sloan has his uses, but I rather keep Spock next to Kirk so I don't forget to reduce when building my station for example. Thus I only use his always-on abilities. Sadly the Iso-damage isn't available because of that 😢but it's worth not needing to switch often.

    Only lvl 45 here, but there is so much things to do in the day that grinding Waves (which are pain) is not always on my priority list. I do "daily", but then only spending currency on building and rep. Sloan was not near on that list. If I would push building, rep, Sloan, particles and Talios skin I would spend too much time on one thing daily. Not sure how much time in the day I should have.

  • @chrispowell6152
    @chrispowell6152 25 днів тому

    The answer to your question: I have not been pursuing Sloan because I’m not really a fan of Waves. Also, a video idea: how exactly does the game change when you level up to 40. I prepped for months to level up. Met all my goals for the level up except 1 (I didn’t unlock the ISS Jellyfish). Used the 90 days to upgrade final levels and research. Thought I was prepared. Realized in about 10 minutes how different game is at level 40. I don’t remember any video about playing level 40 with new numbers and new currencies. Just a thought for a future video.

      @loonypath2073 26 днів тому

      Save it for the beginning of a battlepass unless you have done all you battlepass events. Otherwise this battlepass is roughly as good as any other and will help with your mirror universe research.

    Maybe if we could ever get another Fleet Commander event I would get excited for Sloan, but since the last one was over six months ago and they've obviously decided to just heap on content instead of developing what's existing, I'm pretty sure they've just abandoned Fleet Commanders.

    "Best Fleet Commander in STFC"
    Well, i think everyone having Kirk as Main FC disagrees :D
    I do agree on the FT Part though. Apart from that i like Locutus as second.
    I got that Tally skin and like 2 days after i unlocked it was worthless because i had the resources to max my Tally. Now i just do low or middle pulls and the skin ends up just being cosmetic.

    The real part that hurts is his skill points. I'm Ops 36, so I can only do the first 3 rows of his skills, but just to get the Always-On skills to their ops-max will cost me 4750 points, which is ~150k S31 Credits.

    Unfortunate for me there's just other stuff there is to do I will just have to be patient until I catch people doing waves , easier when you have other members of other allies including your own if that's going to be done , the game does have other stuff that has to be work on before too many people can really get to the waves at this time , plus we all know they have another Park to this mirror 🪞 because this is just part 1 there's bound to be a part 2 possibly a 3
