I find the Ent E Picard, Data and 5of11 combo good for quickly grinding the annoying materials like from dominion hostiles, the broken ship parts, etc. Will be interesting to see what other officers and abilities they add to this group. Hopefully we get a good sourcing path too because the last few groups of officers have had little or no sourcing.
Scopely had an epic failure with their 5YA packs. Doesn’t seem like a celebration. Doesn’t seem like a nod or appreciation to the players. It should feel like “thank you players for getting us to this important milestone. Here’s to 5 years and a look forward to 5 more”. But. It doesn’t feel like that in the least. Seems cheap. Poorly thought out. Stingy. And just meh
And the real shame is that if it was something worth while, some kind of milestone pack, I think more people would buy it. As it stands why spend there if any other $99 pack will have more value?
I unlocked the enterprise e picard/data & managed to get them both to tier 2,I mostly have used both officers on my borg cube to speed up my grind and now I'm sitting on a tier 5 borg cube. This month has been an early Christmas present for me
I've updated my voyager crew for the hostile summoning process from 5,Kang, Neelix to Picard E, Data E, Neelix. It takes a bit more hull damage but you get better efficiency at converting the first tier of tokens into the second tier of tokens.
I changed my Voyager crew to that too...big agree. Doubling your bio ship loot is great. I run Hugh below decks too and the crit with iso damage combined with the voy extra damage can really melt the bio ships
Yes....did so some time ago....its a good combination for grinding....for other grinds just swap neelix against 5/11 and go for it....goor for moaveen, borg cube and all other stuff
For me Ent E Picard, Data, 5 with Doctor and Alonzo below are my primary Rep grinding crew on my Sompek. Yes I could shoot more with other crews, but its a matter of time. I can grind with this crew for a very long time and in this time I get more rep than with any other crew.
I use e-picard/e-data/ortegas on the monaveen for idle grinding texas hostiles. I kill slightly fewer ships, but the loot I got increased dramatically.
I have seen a HUUUUGE jump in rep grinding using e-picard, e-data, 5/11 with BD of Hugh, Ad Freeman, Doc, and another nicely tiered toon. I know some of this is dependent on research but I am getting up to 158k per 51 trader with this crew and I can take 15 or so ships in a run. I am level 46 and not a spender so for me this officer is a must-have.
how about you calculate up to 2k hostilecap or rep/kill rep/time. yes, if your repaircosts are to high you want to get as much out of each hull as possible, but what if you are short on time, or got the time and rss to repair 11 times? you get more rep/day when looking at hostile cap. i tried him on my franklin and vidar as well, get as much or more loot in half the time. great for hirogen relic hunting, antimatter or even actian poison later on (got no mantis now) everything that saves time is valuable to me.
Run lorca instead of 5 and hugh below decks plus odo and Paris. Less per kill but still plenty and the hull breach iso cascade crit combo is nasty business
My interest is total rep gained per kill I'm hitting 50-51 fed traders running ent e picard data and lorca with hugh odo paris and Alonzo below and each kill is netting about 150k rep without exos. I'm not trying to be out there all day grinding worried about the repair costs i have a life outside of the game 😂
As much as i love these two new officers, its pretty damn shameful that Picards officer ability works on armadas... but both Datas and Picards officer abilities *dont*. Scopely: if youre going to put out QOL officers for loot grinding, then stop neutering them out of the box FFS. Either Fix Picard's captains ability to not work on armadas, or bite the bullet and allow Picard's and Data's officer ability to work on armadas, like how they should have been at launch. (I.E. the correct fix for the issue) be big boys and girls and do something the **correct way** for once instead of half assed to sell more packs.
Awesome info, but this would have been a super useful video during week 1 when you could actually go after Picard during the auctions and purchase Data so people would be better equipped to decide to go after them or not. Now that they cant be sourced, what's the point?
Help me out here, officers with abilities that read "resources" and " rewards" help increase the amount of rep you gain from killing hostiles? I always assumed only the officers that specifically increase reputation would increase rep gained i.e. kim, alf freeman, ghalenar
Have you tried E Picard, Ghalenar, Five? For most players, Ghalenar should be tiered higher than Kim at this point. Since both give the same rep boost at each tier, it's best to go with whichever is more developed. I haven't done a thorough comparison, as you did of combos, but I have been running this set on my T3 Crozier with my two low decks spots being the Doctor and A. Freeman to essentially sell out on the the loot boost. I'll try running tests and give you what I found to work best for me on Discord once I have results.
OH Ok so Rev meant this is to make grinding easier not gain more rep per ship. I use Harry Kim and Admiral Freeman on locking in Rom, it was the fastest rep grind compared to the dual rep before which took almost 2 years. For Rom, with HK and Adm. Freeman took less then 3 months. I just lock it in this past Sun. I'm just gonna enjoy the 10 million tri-lock for now before going to dual rep grind to 1 Billion. I hope they put out more officers like Harry Kim and Adm. Freeman, I don't wanna be rep grinding till I'm on my death bed. 500 Billion is nuts!!!
Hey Rev! Have you tried a Fistful of Datas Crew. Data as Captain, ENT -E Data, and TNG Data. It seems like a good crew. I tried them out Adrisilver and they were effective.
deeply disappointed to be a FED heavy player. since almost 80 % FED officers you must prioritize either officer power or ship power. if I was ROM then id have powerful ships and maxed officers but due to getting the same amount of credits for both i have a decent ship and low officers. Honestly, Scopley needs to double the amount of FED credits available to those with high FED rep.
What if you’re not bothered about loot, would Janeway as cap (for mitigation and isolytic) with new Picard and data alongside for more isolytic be good?
Unfortunately because the insane amount of points required by the Heroic SMS events I have about 1/3 of Enterprise E Picard. I'm a level 41 player who's strongest ship is only a tier 7 Jellyfish.
is there any actual sourcing i remember when the first epic picard came out 180 shards i dont think there was real sourcing then now he is in transporter patterns at about 200k TP to get him i really want E-Picard my current hostile loot crew is tolra and toli and chen/tlaan/5 of 11
Скорполи, пока у шахтеров не будет полной защиты от атак начиная от младших уровней то есть неуязвимость в полном смысле слова игра обречена на провал. Шахтера можно будет бить в этом случае только если есть перегруз или сидит на нуле. Я играю 5+ лет в эту игру с самого начало и вижу как много проблем в игре в связи с тем что командиры просто с дури бьют шахтеров игроков. Это самое узкое место в игре и если Скорполи решит этот вопрос который давно решен в таких играх как Линейдж где игроки садиться на торговлю в оффлайн режиме и не доступны для атаки, но у них можно купить что то. Так и здесь шахтер если сидит на добыче должен быть защищён от атак агрессоров командиров бездельников. Тогда игра обретёт уже некую солидность но все равно останутся ещё проблемы. Потому что нападают ещё на корабли во время выполнения Ивента чтобы занять первые места. Все это делают командиры игрокам это не нужно. Я никогда не нападаю просто так не на кого, у меня времени просто нет на это. Но если бьют мои корабли, то я конечно доделываю свои дела, а потом даю им сдачи по полной. Вот так и играю но добывать материалы не могу и поэтому дела не важнецки. Ведь можно на ночь поставить на добычу, но не дают и убивают сразу шахтеров как я выхожу с игры...😂😂😂😂😂
Grand prize in the limited time 5 year event using those 5 year tokens was only for americans, no actual in game 5 year event b p or anything, I thought those tokens , or rewards were used in game , when I read it in the store it was for this stupid event younger a shit a top woohoo but only like 170 ppl a celebration includes all and isn't again ranked based cos come on the whales wom it , so 5 year event for those who can buy those 5 year awards . Anyway glad I got jlp e cos I'm above 140mil with Rom rep so it will help maybe depending on what hostile level he's able to defeat
With this chart that you graciously created you show that the worst crew was Picard crew,,, Yes it is bad, but is it??? If I took away the fact that I do not factor in warp time and repairs and do 5 hulls in one hour I can see that I Will get MORE rep and loot than with the other crews, Voyager and SNW crews may have less repair RSS spent it does not get the loot and rep that new Picard gets. Voyager (21mil rep X 1) Snw (22mil rep X 1) and Picard Data 5 (9mil X 5 trips = 45mil+) and it all can be done in 1 hour or less. So yes because of repair time Warp Time and RSS, Picard isnt good But if you dont care about that, Picard crew IS way Better..
Don’t like to disagree bro but I am using Picard data 5 on the Sanctus and it shreds but you need to use Paris below deck as well as maybe hugh ifyou can spare him. Janeway Torres Kim on the corvus and snw on the vorcha 🤌 below decks there are key. There’s a chance I play this game too much 🙃
I find the Ent E Picard, Data and 5of11 combo good for quickly grinding the annoying materials like from dominion hostiles, the broken ship parts, etc. Will be interesting to see what other officers and abilities they add to this group.

I have used that combo but i have found Picard Data Crusher as a good combo
You should try splitting that group up two crews are better than one.
Scopely had an epic failure with their 5YA packs. Doesn’t seem like a celebration. Doesn’t seem like a nod or appreciation to the players. It should feel like “thank you players for getting us to this important milestone. Here’s to 5 years and a look forward to 5 more”. But. It doesn’t feel like that in the least. Seems cheap.

Just another kick in the balls
💯
And the real shame is that if it was something worth while, some kind of milestone pack, I think more people would buy it. As it stands why spend there if any other $99 pack will have more value?
They've always sucked at celebrating their anniversary 😅
This game has about 2 more years before it shuts down. They know it and that’s why they don’t care. The money is already made.
I unlocked the enterprise e picard/data & managed to get them both to tier 2,I mostly have used both officers on my borg cube to speed up my grind and now I'm sitting on a tier 5 borg cube. This month has been an early Christmas present for me
I've used pic-e 5 and neelix with emh and Hugh below for voyager hostiles 🖖
I've updated my voyager crew for the hostile summoning process from 5,Kang, Neelix to Picard E, Data E, Neelix. It takes a bit more hull damage but you get better efficiency at converting the first tier of tokens into the second tier of tokens.
Yeah to me this is the true value of epicard to me. More loot faster.
I changed my Voyager crew to that too...big agree. Doubling your bio ship loot is great. I run Hugh below decks too and the crit with iso damage combined with the voy extra damage can really melt the bio ships
Yes....did so some time ago....its a good combination for grinding....for other grinds just swap neelix against 5/11 and go for it....goor for moaveen, borg cube and all other stuff
Same here, I'm also using them alonsidge 5of11 for grinding probes, would do actians aswell but need data below for the extra cargo
For me Ent E Picard, Data, 5 with Doctor and Alonzo below are my primary Rep grinding crew on my Sompek. Yes I could shoot more with other crews, but its a matter of time. I can grind with this crew for a very long time and in this time I get more rep than with any other crew.
i agree great loot crew combo
I use E Pic and Data for actian venom and Horigen relics exclusively
Really hope that they make a decent sourcing for these officers.
They will in a few years when the money dried up.
That is crazy that this great game came out on my birthday!
I use e-picard/e-data/ortegas on the monaveen for idle grinding texas hostiles. I kill slightly fewer ships, but the loot I got increased dramatically.
Our 5 year mission, to explore strange new worlds.
I have seen a HUUUUGE jump in rep grinding using e-picard, e-data, 5/11 with BD of Hugh, Ad Freeman, Doc, and another nicely tiered toon.

I am level 46 and not a spender so for me this officer is a must-have.
Loving him in the broken parts grind..... double and triple pulls now more common place for me without having to do that epic grind 😅
If you're running Picard/Data, what is the best damage reduction/mitigation officer to run with them for hostiles? Moreau?
I use him with five and data for parts, solo armadas and mantis. Basically for any and all loot.
I don't have borg jayla, so ent-e pic has being a life saver xD
how about you calculate up to 2k hostilecap or rep/kill rep/time.
yes, if your repaircosts are to high you want to get as much out of each hull as possible, but what if you are short on time, or got the time and rss to repair 11 times? you get more rep/day when looking at hostile cap.

Oh Captain, my captain. ❤
Right now E-Picard is vital for the Voyager grind. E-Picard-5 (T3 and up, other E-Data)-Neelix for max loot.
As much as i love these two new officers, its pretty damn shameful that Picards officer ability works on armadas... but both Datas and Picards officer abilities *dont*.
Scopely: if youre going to put out QOL officers for loot grinding, then stop neutering them out of the box FFS.

be big boys and girls and do something the **correct way** for once instead of half assed to sell more packs.
Will get E Bev or E Geordi next month
Awesome info, but this would have been a super useful video during week 1 when you could actually go after Picard during the auctions and purchase Data so people would be better equipped to decide to go after them or not. Now that they cant be sourced, what's the point?
I can’t play the game for 5 minutes without crashing, 5 year anniversary ye 😭
Help me out here, officers with abilities that read "resources" and " rewards" help increase the amount of rep you gain from killing hostiles? I always assumed only the officers that specifically increase reputation would increase rep gained i.e. kim, alf freeman, ghalenar

Bev ghorkon and khan a good bridge crew for fed heavy hitters lvl 49 18k to 24 k ROM rep per hit with my 7.7 augur
Thx Rev!

Hey Rev! Have you tried a Fistful of Datas Crew. Data as Captain, ENT -E Data, and TNG Data. It seems like a good crew. I tried them out Adrisilver and they were effective.
Try 5-torres-lorca with hugh below decks. Gives me pretty great results due to both loot bonus and good survivablity (from mitigations and piercing.)
Hey @revdeuce is he going to be sourceable? I'm 1 short of Picard E and it's really annoying!! Got data though at least.
deeply disappointed to be a FED heavy player. since almost 80 % FED officers you must prioritize either officer power or ship power. if I was ROM then id have powerful ships and maxed officers but due to getting the same amount of credits for both i have a decent ship and low officers. Honestly, Scopley needs to double the amount of FED credits available to those with high FED rep.
What if you’re not bothered about loot, would Janeway as cap (for mitigation and isolytic) with new Picard and data alongside for more isolytic be good?
Thank goodness for charts
Unfortunately because the insane amount of points required by the Heroic SMS events I have about 1/3 of Enterprise E Picard.
I'm a level 41 player who's strongest ship is only a tier 7 Jellyfish.
Is epicard broken? I get the same rewards as PMC as epicard edata chen.
What’s the sourcing? It might as well not even be in the game without sourcing.
Those packs where rep packs with less lat and less Matt's WTH where they thinking or is that the problem they don't think
No Cybermonaday pack... wreido
is there any actual sourcing i remember when the first epic picard came out 180 shards i dont think there was real sourcing then now he is in transporter patterns at about 200k TP to get him i really want E-Picard my current hostile loot crew is tolra and toli and chen/tlaan/5 of 11
His sourcing is threw Iso refinery (Gorn loop)
@@RevDeuce oh ops40 sourcing is his rng drops good there
Wouldn't call it good. it is there. lol
@@RevDeuce same every where else other than the mantis refinery
How do we get him I'm 6bps short and have been forever
So rep is included in “rewards”?
I dropped picard,5 on bridge and doc below. Thinking im gonna get more armada rss. Nope
lol how is he and E-Data compared to his counter part TNG JLP and TNG Bev for hostile grinding
Picard doesn't increase rep though? Keep Alonzo on lower decks for rep grinding. Picard has been nice for hirogen grinding.
forgot a big part in your video using paris below deck will give you the mitigation thus giving less damage
5YA is going to suck. Scopley doesn't give a crap about us throughout the year, let alone rewarding us for playing 5 years.
Prove me wrong, Scopley.
just unlocked him 😂, only 8 months and DONE!
Got 2.1 million Fed in 3 hours of Tygokor
The rep grind is not that bad.
Скорполи, пока у шахтеров не будет полной защиты от атак начиная от младших уровней то есть неуязвимость в полном смысле слова игра обречена на провал. Шахтера можно будет бить в этом случае только если есть перегруз или сидит на нуле.

Voyager and SNW crews may have less repair RSS spent it does not get the loot and rep that new Picard gets.
Voyager (21mil rep X 1) Snw (22mil rep X 1) and Picard Data 5 (9mil X 5 trips = 45mil+) and it all can be done in 1 hour or less.
So yes because of repair time Warp Time and RSS, Picard isnt good But if you dont care about that, Picard crew IS way Better..
