How far can you take the Defiant, Voyager, & Talios in STFC? | Exploring the long term paths

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 12 чер 2023
  • A question almost @everyone asks when new specialty ships come out is "how far will they take me?" (Besides the normal player's annoyance with STFC constantly turning iconic Trek things into what feels like pointless loops. Looking at you, USS Voyager). Beyond that though, can these ships be viable as long term ships? Can you use a Defiant instead of a D4? What about a Talios instead of a Kelvin? Let's talk math!
    Topics covered:
    1. The Pros & Cons of the top 3 specialty ships currently in the game (Determining Top 3 by usability outside of niche. EX: Voyager = PVE, Defiant = Armadas, Talios = PVP)
    2. Scaling! How do they scale vs their counterparts?
    3. While these ships are never your strongest ships, does the math show they can be viable secondary/tertiary focuses?
    4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

    Good video. Talios is super strong when maxed. For me though there are too many ships I "need" to have. Scopely should diversify game paths so you can decide if you want pvp, grinding or armada game. I don't have the time or the brains to keep up with building all these ships along with having fun!

  • @vassagood

    Interesting to see how strategy changes over time. Solo Armadas forced us into a situation where we NEEDED 2 ships of the appropriate level, but now, since the Defiant, Talios and Voyager have been released, we can get by much easier with 1.

  • @michaelthompson5086
    @michaelthompson5086 Рік тому +1

    208M Talios...wow.
    One additional benefit to scaling up these ships: Once you hit tier 4 on the Defiant, Mantis, and/or Talios, you can buy from the Ex-Borg faction store. 400 credits can net you a fair amount of venom or nanoprobes (I'm lagging a bit on the Defiant, so I don't know what it offers), which can save you a lot of grinding time. You don't get that with Voyager, but using the Voyager and hitting those 8472's and Hirogen will help your Voyager research, which benefits all ships.
    Work on them all, but the Talios is the most versatile of the bunch. Its smaller cousin the Vi'Dar made a great OPC hunter; the Talios takes it to the next level.

  • @Orca89s

    Voyager's ability to let Ops 39-45 players range out to play in armadas with the 46+ players is a HUGE bonus for alliances with a few whales and dolphins.

  • @annabelleb2822
    @annabelleb2822 Рік тому +1

    The Talios does have that extra large cargo hold which is super sweet for miner attacks. It's also quite quick to level, as I'm almost maxed to LVL 46 not long after its introduction. However, the Bajoran loop is undoubtedly the best in the game so leveling your Defiant will come naturally from engaging with that. Voyager's loop seems to be closed, though I haven't studied it properly, and looks like a lot more work. It's also 6 months or more behind the other two, so will be difficult to advance quickly. These ships may well end up being alternatives for level 42 uncommon G4 ships for some lower level players, but the level 46 rares have fantastic ship abilities which make them very difficult to ignore.

    I'm much happier with the Talios now that it's at my level lock. Good at Borg grinding and a capable interceptor. Still working on my Defiant. I don't seem to get as much bang for buck out of that ship as I can punch up the Dolos better with my Valdore, max Ent and max Augur (Ops 45). I think the bigger difference there is with being able to fill more slots below deck.

  • @bb1111116
    @bb1111116 3 місяці тому

    My alliance leadership recommends the Talios over the Defiant. Problem is for an almost free to play player like me it is easier to upgrade the Defiant. The Talios takes Borg research credits which blocks getting Faction Points. Faction points are crucial with FTP. Defiant upgrades take a bit from Bajoran faction research but only slows that down a bit.

  • @TheThomasw324
    @TheThomasw324 Рік тому

    Tier 11 Talios here. It's incredibly versatile - I use it for mantis grind, Borg grind, voyager grind in token space and opc hunting. Warp range is amazing. And... You get wild amounts of faction credits, Indy credits and rep via the refinery. The only downside I see is how can I get parts for my second Talios!!!

    So what what the tier per level for faction ships this is based on? Like you say a maxed g3 epic at 34 sets the comparison off, but there's no way to tell in this plot what it tier is expected per ops. Also keep in mind the faction specific research for example which can tip the scales even more.

    when you have been playing the game for 4 years (almost). Then you have already obtained all the predecessor of ships. Am OPS 45, have maxout ships, Sally, Mayflower, Gladius, Enterprise, Augur, Intrepid, tier 7 Kelvin and Val'dore. Many special ships have come out from the past 1.5 years. I often get to hear, why did you make so many ships.. you can't see what Scopely releases in the future, in a year's time Scopely will release a new special ship, which will make all existing ones obsolete.. For players who play for a long time, the first question will be, do you still have to invest in it yes or no. The Talios and Defiant yes, I don't know all the others
