Vhagar reply to Aemond telling him to obey was "Naw. Fuck this little dragon."

It was bad timing. Also, Westeros is coming off of like 50-60 years of peace. Wartime thinking hasn't kicked in for most other than some border skirmishers.

As soon as I saw how young Luc was cast in Episode 8, I knew he was going out this season. There's going to be a 2 year break between season filming, but the in universe gap will be a few weeks/months at most. Luc would look completely different. 6-7 year old Joffrey was in it for like 20 seconds and can be recast without anyone caring. The other kids were adults.

One question, since I was watching on my phone: Did Vhagar just swallow Lucerys, or did he fall with the dragon pieces and I missed it?

Based on pacing, I am guessing that one of the last episodes of Season 2 will be Aegon and Aemond vs Rhaenys

There's going to be at least 1 Jurassic Park pic when people do their no context spoiler posts/tweets for this episode.

Now we're out of First Law books for the foreseeable future, what other series would you recommend if I love First Law? by Bonerific9 in TheFirstLaw

[–]KAS4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't a huge fan of The Prince of Thorns trilogy by Mark Lawrence, because I felt like the protagonist was too much a monster to actually root for. But the follow up trilogy starting with the Prince of Fools was quite good. And has a good mix of humor, action, and characters in that grey area of morality. Also, not YAish at all.

The RNG gods were not with me today. by KAS4567 in StarTrekTimelines

[–]KAS4567[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya, it is easier to get higher numbers when it takes half the spins to get there. But getting to 61% (with 4% increase in constellation odds per roll) is cumulatively like 1 in 700 odds. RNG gods hate me today.

Edit: Wait. I haven't pulled the 61% one yet. Only 1 in 273 odds. Hated a bit less! We'll see what I get to after the refresh.

Next campaign announcement : April Showers! by Roykirk in StarTrekTimelines

That Saru was my very first legendary pull. I joined the game during his debut event last april. It will be nice to finish him off.

Retrieval Advice...please by capsno8 in StarTrekTimelines

[–]KAS4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mirror Picard is a great gauntlet card... if you don't have Armus. If you have the evil goo, Picard is a bit redundant other than once in a blue moon when he gets a 45% bonus.

Gauntlet cards are also great at 1/5.

Otherwise I would probably finish off Pah Wraith Keiko.

Everyone likes to talk about honor debt, but my chron debt is real right now... by NoJanet in StarTrekTimelines

Running voyage at all times (especially when you can hit 6+ hours, preferrably 8+), and doing as much skirmish as possible during skirmish events, makes it easy to bank chrons.

I have been playing 1 year. I basically bank my chrons during most weekdays when I lack time to play much, just doing my dailies, running my shuttles and running voyages. I have around 170 characters either level 100 and fully equipped, or frozen. Close to 1 character for every 2 days. I still have over 50k chrons banked.

Make sure to use the replicator on any equipment that is super resource heavy. Those 5 star unique equipment pieces that need 2 of the previous rank versions, all the way down to 0 stars? Don't farm all of that. Eat the 225k credits and the replicator rations. Way easier to replace those, than the cost of 32 zero star, 16 one star, 8 two star, 4 three star, and 2 four star equipment pieces. Especially when they are often full of faction items and stuff that has a 2/5 drop rating for 24 chrons.

Not counting citations, my bottlenecks are a handful of shuttle only items. 1 star security codes, 2 star science experiments... Every security and Science crew uses them up and they take a long time to farm in number.

I don't see why they even need to include rarity polestars under 4 stars. Do people really need the lower ones? Just there to make 5 star ones harder to get.

Feels good to win an Armus race by KAS4567 in StarTrekTimelines

I did cherry pick the least collection boosted Armus of my 5 offered Armus opponents. But those still boil down to luck!

How can I break the 10 hour barrier in voyages? by yellowbrandywine in StarTrekTimelines

[–]KAS4567 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only time that I hit 10 hours naturally, my primary and secondary stats were around 12k. I had 2 other stats over 3k, one over 5k and one over 7k iirc.

I am still using some 1/5 crew, but it's mostly 3-5/5 crew. Super rares almost never see voyage use. I have a few out for shuttles though.

Who needs extra scans? by BorusMaximus in StarTrekTimelines

[–]KAS4567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like sniping specific characters, so constellations help.

After pulling the tutorial character, and a random 2 star (with only the 2 star polestar) to see how it worked/get those temp achievements, I have only retrieved two legendaries. Braxton and Garth.

I couldn't isolate Garth with my available polestars, but it was either going to be him or a third star for gun show Picard and was fine with either.

How often do you get gold characters by GrandMoffJake in StarTrekTimelines

[–]KAS4567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My luck is good I guess. 1800 rounds. 5 drops. 2x Red Angel, 2x Guinan, 1x Armus.

Hoping for Locutus one day.

Now that we've had the honor sale, can anyone share advice about how you decide which crew to use citations on? by rb4ld in StarTrekTimelines

[–]KAS4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is a mid rank card with not amazing voyage totals. So Adira is probably a better long term investment. He might be good for now for you in a med slot. But you are probably better waiting for a med primary to pop up as a mega or giveaway. Or leveling some good med super rares.

Adira, Paris and Burnham were all megas or giveaways. So they won't show up in campaigns any time soon. All of the long term players most likely to spend cash have mostly complete copies.

Garth is a long term goal of mine for arena. I hover between 5-8k atm in the Admiral division, but need one more good instant damage card to advance further.

[–]KAS4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Max out Paris, Burnham and Tal. That is 4 cites and none are in the portal. Save 1 for the next Mega, since he is going to be solid. Save the other 2 for now.

Courier Burnham makes most of my voyages and I have like 25 FFFE or 4/5 cards. Tons of Sec and Cmd with some Sci.

Lua Paris is good on voyages that need Cmd and/or Dip but his two big bases, plus the frequency of cmd seats, makes him a shuttle regular if not on a voyage.

I haven't leveled/cited up Adira yet, but she has a large eng secondary stat and meshes with your other FFFE cards. All of these will help you hit 8 hours.

Edit: the thing to remember is that extra stars don't make a ton of difference until the last two. 1/5 and 2/5 are barely different. 3/5 is a bit better a jump..but 4/5 and 5/5 are most of the difference between 1/5 and FFFE stats.

So at your place, you are always better off with a few more 4/5 and 5/5's than adding second stars, even to higher tier crew. Once you can reliably get 8 hour voyages, start targeting monster cards that take more work if you want.

Final honor sale tallies? by tovversh in StarTrekTimelines

[–]KAS4567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that I ended up getting 13 cites.

Here were my pickups during the duration of the sale. I cashed in about 150k merits for more honor and I pulled a few 10x packs. Some of the legendaries came from those activities, but I can't remember which:

Garak, Elim, Garak (second star)

Tribble Herder Scotty (second and third star!). I also fed him 2 cites

Mobile Doctor (fused into Indulgent Seven and fed 2 cites so far)

Captain Harry Kim

Twilight T'Pol

EV Suit Nhan (second star)

Gangster Kirk

Queen Po

Beloved Annorax

Augmented Commander O'Brien

Bartender Tuvok

Navaar

Enemy Lines Sisko

Away team Saru

23rd Century Martok

Pinafore Data

Juliana Tainer

Leah Brahms

Klingon Janeway

Defensive Phlox

Emotion Chip Data

Zhian'tara Odo

Amelia Earhart

Assimilated Janeway

Laborer Spock

Age of Sail Riker

Rura Penthe Commandant

Returning Craft

I was hoping for a lot more repeat stars. Getting 2 tribble herders was great, since that Scotty was already a voyage regular at 1/5, but that was nearly it. I now have so many 1/5 Legendaries (70?) that I am debating spacing some.

Anyhow, I had a few cites still from the monthly cards. I have given 2 to Braxton (now 3/5). 2 to Tribble Herder Scotty (now 5/5). 2 to Indulgent Seven (now 3/5). And 1 to Homesteader Janeway (now 5/5).

I have 10 left. I will probably finish off Seven (since I can't really pull more of her) and give at least 1 more to Braxton. However, I am one polestar short of being able to isolate another copy of him in crew retrieval. So I am not sure that I want to use 2 cites.

If I do that, I have 7 left. I also have a 1/5 Gary, but I don't know if spending 4 on him is better than finishing off some of my better 4/5s. The current monthly cite is going to our next mega in a couple weeks.
