I made the move into G5 earlier this year . Honestly found camping at 54 more useful than 53 due to being able to upgrade the Tally to T11 there . It means you have 2 very usable ships (uncommon 53 as well)
My tips for G5 1: Continue using your G4 ships. Even when you get G5 ships! I can't repeat this enough times. G4 ships are boosted to OPS 60 by new Tech research. It remains highly effective for everything in your playing. Especially if you upgrade G4 like Pilum to tier 10, you really need the extra loot it gives with the many loops 2: G4 Epic? Only build this when you have reached OPS 52. Especially the Enterprise-A, this ship is just as strong as your first G5 ship, much cheaper to upgrade and repair and you can keep using this ship for almost forever 3: now is the time to stop doing some older loops and fully focus on what you really need, and that is still a lot in G5. Stella? No longer needed, Franklin? No need. Augment? No need 4: Do a lot of solo armadas! This gives ship parts and resources 5: Have more than 1 main ship, there are too many things you have to do in G5. You definitely need 6 strong ships to do everything effectively 6: Do all the savings tech first! If you don't, it will cost hundreds of billions of extra trit There are so many more things I can give as tips. But these are 6 to start with
I think one way to convince yourself to plan ahead is with these kinds of jumps, you can easily find yourself locked out of content. Especially content that you were used to participate in. Like silent loop. For me, the frustration of not being able to participate is greater than having to plan.
I remember a couple years ago that you swore you were NEVER going to go into the Rhodinium tree of the Galaxy research! Now you are not only in it, you are tearing through it! Makes me laugh. We all, change over time, sometimes its funnier than others. Still think you’re great, Rev! Live long and plunder, buddy!
so rev forgot to mention why you need the section stuff ... get the levels of those specific research up and you unlock the faction highways ,cutting travel time into 5* space by a good chunk of time ,and remember voyager only pays out g4 up to t7 at t8 its only 5* ship parts
Absolutely possible without ever spending additional $ … gotta use Spock’s club gotta bank some multiphasics and loyalty tokens but absolutely doable … then if u saved a treasury you can get to 53 the next arc…. Just don’t do it until you’re ready for a nova and a 53 ship then do it!
Thanks for this! I'm at 50 and planning to go to 53 as soon as I can, just waiting to get the faction rep to buy the BPs for the Corvus and Northcutt first.
I went from 56 to 57 in one day and was going to go from 57 to 58 in the second day with the Grabthars Hammer Exocomp but then the game went tits up and I lost an entire day of the exo I paid for. Still waiting for Scopely to make up for that one.
Thank you for your video @RevDeuce 🤩 These is precisely the information I was looking for, as well as the additional information in the comments from other players
Thank you so much for this update. I think I'm going to wait until the Galaxy Quest arc is over to go 50+ just so that I can compete in the SLB's more easily. To that point Rev, sharing your experience for how the Arc calendar changes this time around would also be helpful. I'm hoping there isn't unforeseen sticker shock for you. In the mean time, my Pilum and Tribune still need some levelling. However, I've saved enough faction credits for at least 1 Tribune. Have to say that I love the look of the Northcut but my Fed rep is too low.
@revdeuce You for the Feesha part exchange ! there you get get both g5 parts and g4 parts by single pull. In Ex-Borg faction you still get g4 ship parts. It is only source to get g4 part beside refinery.
In July I went from 46 to 49 in the 2 weekend SLBs. Figured I might push to 50 this month with the crossover happening. I am halfway to the Rom and Klingon Epics, so that will be fun to look forward to.
So the way things have been going I’ve been about a month behind Rev, so looks like I’ll be going to 52 after the next Arc still got a few bits of research I want to finish first plus maybe another tier on my Tribby.
50 to 52 in a day? Impressive… I went 50 to 53 in less than 12 hours a month ago! Also no spending real $$$, also planned for months (ship BPs, lat, 7 day tokens, etc.)
I did not find going to lvl 50+ as hard as you are stating. Doing it slow and within 3 months i also will go in to lvl 53. Most important thing is to max feesha for 30k a day and monaveen to t9. Rest is good to do with a pilum t9 and minimal research on g4 combat. It took 2 weeks to get the silents and 1 run a day is enough. I see frankly no use in g4 epic. It is nice to have., but not nessecary. But specialty ships are handy.
I was able to do silents immediately and I get several days worth in one go. Depends on what your goals are. I'll also hit 53+ faster due to my slower pace.
Trying to get an officer I'd like to get before I pull the trigger. Last 2 months - PvP officers just keep me holding on... Glad they changed the SLBs, that stopped my block.
I had made the jump to 52 a short time ago but I have to say those G5 silent enemies are brutal. 47m Pilum goes poof unless fully supported with cerritos, titan, and defiant.
Ouch that's going to be a long slow suffer till either you can get that pilum up or get a 53 ship, I'm sitting at ops 49 still and have my Newton at t8 and 64m and I'm still not going into the 50s for a another few months.
@brendanhurley2509 think you jumped way too early if your pilum is only at 47 mill . That is going to be an absolutely brutal slog for you . Hopefully you can get to 53 and pick up an uncommon soon
My pilum is g10 80m and can do the 51 silents with cerritos and titan support. You want to do every part efficiency possible before pulling the trigger on any rare g4 parts as you hardly get any when you go past ops 50.
@zaphodbeeblebrox4206 my pilum has been stuck on T10 for 5 or 6 months now . The rare ship parts cost are prohibitive without the primes (slowly working my way up the dolomite 1s ) there are some new efficiency for them on the mirror tree as well so that can potentially help out npw
I also did 50-52 in 1 day. Hit 53 not long after. I made ops 60 last month. I never built any g5 miners. My g4 miners were all t7+ when i hit ops 50 and could reach the g5 mines. My g4 miners are t12, t11, and t10 now and still allow triple refines twice a day.
Hey Rev, along the same lines as saving 7/30day chests for the ops pushes into new grade currency... I'm thinking saving my compensation chest currency for the next month or 2 or so when I hit G5 to get a wee boost from couple days worth of monthly elite tokens I'll get. Is there value to this or lost in the wind?
What levels did you take your pilum and tribune to? Would other ships work as well or do they have to be the romulan ships? I'm not so friendly with the romulans :)
@@spartanology4695 the g5 alliance chests give decent numbers of ship blueprints so if you're at 52 and 53 for a bit you should get a decent number. I have 30 bps of each of the g5 uc ships I'm not building and just about to go to ops 53.
The xindi armadas (if you have a g6 player who will carry you through a 60) can be nice for mats as well, but obviously most of the game doesn't have access to that.
I'm OPS 49 with some room to go for 50, rare 4* gas bottleneck. Once I hit 50 for scrapyard I've got 7 G3 faction epics to scrap for more G4 to boost my ships. Working on Tribune 1/day from AT store. Fed and Rom locks, plan to bring Kling up because I'll have Kling cred for vorcha. Starting to stockpile 30 day chests and refinery broken keys for when 4* becomes 5*. Fed cred being built up to cover Nova. Currently doing all 3 in dailies and using Voy for messages for daily faction credits. Any other tips?
Whats the current consensus on the epic g4 ships? For f2p (and minimal spenders). With the current economy, some mates and feel its a good idea to get one and stay at 50 for a while to slowly prep for 50+
That would have slightly adjusted the camp time, but not the strategy itself. Also didn't help me get the ships in anyway. But yes, this account is a $200 ish a month account.
I've heard you talk about G4, G5, etc economies. I'm at Ops 39 but I'm a little confused. Does the G4 economy begin at Ops 40 or Ops 41? Does the G5 economy begin at Ops 50 or Ops 51? Thanks, in advance and I sincerely appreciate you and the time it takes to educate us on the game!
This video is about 2 days late for me. Would have prepared a bit more. I didn't expect the G4 parts and materials to disappear the way they did. Thankfully I can still do everything I did before, but in a worse position concerning silents.
Even if u speed along your ops your still looking at a minimum of 6-7 months to unlock superhighways it taken me 8 months this Saturday to get my second unlocked maybe another 3-4 weeks to finish the last 2 if there’s two things that definitely needs to be increased its the gas and ship parts cuz scopley is absolutely stingy for dishing them out and that’s in every refinery,loops etc
My best advice: Get to g5 NOW! Don't sit at 50, don't sit at 49 any longer than needed to get the mats for 50. Maybe some things will get harder. Maybe you won't be able to full pull all loops. Maybe you won't win all leaderboards anymore. But you'll get more doing little at 51 than winning everything at 50. And the sooner you start getting g5 (fully, not possible trickles in g4), the faster you'll progress and get to 53, to 56, to 60... Caveat: some people don't care about progresion. Those people do what you want. But if you care about progression ops up when you can. Don't do research that's not efficiencies (and maybe a few other important ones). You can do g4 research in g5. Skip ships. Don't upgrade ships more than needed (I kept corvus at t1, but that got me to my sanctus faster and I love it!). Just ops up.
That's the thing Trey. MOST players don't care about progression unless it's meaningful. Getting to 60 for the sake of getting to 60 is fine for some, but def not what the average player is shooting for. This is why camping > skipping for most.

You probably just overwrote the exocomp
@@robodigitalo no, we were locked out of the game for a day. but thanks for the useless comment kiddo.

Pro tip. Going into 5*.
Keep your voyager T7 for as long as you need rare 4* ship parts.

Thanks!
Rev did you just exchange faction credits for the G5 uncommon ship blue prints, or was there other sourcing?
Faction credits! (doing my dailies / borg turn ins/ away teams/ etc )

As a 53 with a little bigger but same ships, i still get 4* ship parts. About half the stuff still pays out 4* parts
The events pay out SIGNIFICANTLY less (we can track the events through stfc.space ). Especially the rare bottleneck. Gets gruesome!
Rev also gets ress chest too that had to play a big part
That would have slightly adjusted the camp time, but not the strategy itself. Also didn't help me get the ships in anyway. But yes, this account is a $200 ish a month account.
@@RevDeuce I wasn't judging more power to u to have that as an option
Does PMC combo still work past 50? If not, who do you use?
3 days time when i can pull the rare cores i should hopefully be doing the same, may be even 53. Already have all bps for northcutt and nova.

I did the same. Ops 49 for 6 months, ops 50 for 6 hours. 😂

neat! How are the SLB brackets up there?

How did you get your Level 53 ship parts?
Welcome to the common nightmare. EVERYTHING in the early 50s requires ungodly amounts of commons, even with 50m lat you'd struggle.
i have a question how long to max keenser out in the 7 day chest
Rev what is your Pilum at now?
Get your G4 Parts from the Isomatter Refinery, If you take your Voyager to T8 you lose all the G4 parts
I’m going to jump to 27th, just to be safe
Even if u speed along your ops your still looking at a minimum of 6-7 months to unlock superhighways it taken me 8 months this Saturday to get my second unlocked maybe another 3-4 weeks to finish the last 2 if there’s two things that definitely needs to be increased its the gas and ship parts cuz scopley is absolutely stingy for dishing them out and that’s in every refinery,loops etc
It won't take me that long, but, it is part of the thing(s) i have planned for and it's on the checklist!
@@RevDeuce I’m guessing it’ll be through store packs cuz I was talking f2p path cuz each ops the payout from the daily amount goes up slightly
i won't be buying packs
@@RevDeuce store option is the only other way of obtaining them that I see cuz there not in any other chests or multiphasic unless there being donated
do you have a tier ship chart per ops level? IE Ops level 50
Good timing on this video. I’m ready to go to 52 once the next treasury comes out
Save 5e treasury for after the jump to 52 you’ll need it for the jump to SY53
You can do it!
I think best place to park at ops 53.
I have so much to do at 50 no idea when I'll move up
How many 30 days did you save?
How does an f2per do that when you need to spend those 30 days to get broken desealing rods to unlock treasury rewards?
It should be 49 to catch up. 53 shortly, 56 asap and catch/save up and push push push to 60 asap.

Umm...you didn't offer to take over my account and do everything you just did, but for me. Thanks a lot! LOL
👍
Come on, a underdeveloped G4 rare can do lvl60 FreeBooters 🙈
Old currencies MUST be used to build and scrap ships. Is the easiest way to grow and not spend a fortune.
i think the main pain is that in ops 51+ im in SLB with ops 60+....
That's been changed for 6ish weeks. hope it stays changed

How do I get rare armada cores without buying them. I figured buying enough to get from 50 to 51 will cost $8000. Not happening!
Have to do a ton of rare and epic armadas and do your g4 alliance store pulls
