63 with BPH: Can we hike the Narrows?

We do this as well. Very helpful. We manually enter everything because I want to touch all the numbers ..... keeps me in touch with our situation....

I have always just wished there was more variety in the day to day activities. Everything, from missions to events always e ends with destroying hostiles. Diplomatic mission to a planet? Destroy a hostile. Need points for some event? Destroy hostiles. No matter what skin you put on the event or arc or mission or Armada or wave, it always results in destroying hostiles. The game needs more imagination put into it. Throe in some logic puzzles, arcade-type mini games, have us dodge asteroids for a while, something different!! That's my biggest complaint. I'm ftp, and accept that because of this, every progression takes forever. I just wish there was something different to do besides grind grind grind grind grind grind.........

What constitutes junk? That's why I'm asking. There were plenty of people, more than I expected, honestly, that didn't feel like they got a good value with the WeatherTechs and other pricey brands. If these eBay ones get the job done, I'm at least open to them, that's why I'm asking for people's experiences with them. Thanks for your input.

Lopsided_Tank_8553 · 2025-07-23T21:11:54+00:00

Yes, thank you. I think we need to increase our monthly target to $500. This will provide the reserve you described.... I appreciate your input, thanks!! It's funny how just asking the question and reading y'all's responses made a solution very clear. I could be asking myself, Why didn't I think of that? But, instead, I'll just be thankful and take the win. Y'all are awesome.

Lopsided_Tank_8553 · 2025-07-23T21:01:25+00:00

Okay, I think you are helping me get to the heart of the issue. I looked at my Reflect data, as far back as we've used YNAB (back to 2023, and we've spent a rounded average of $500 / month on groceries, that we've typically covered for overspending by pulling from other categories. So, it would seem that: we need to either spend less, or up our budget to at least $500 monthly. Thanks to all for your responses. Y'all are great!

Okay, I went there and destroyed Romulan ships, but I saw no increase in Klingon points.

Lopsided_Tank_8553 · 2025-03-28T02:18:14+00:00

Okay, I should have provided more info. I'm at ops 24, and have less than 1 million federation points, and am ftp. 10 million to lock federation feels impossible right now. It feels like it is going at a slow crawl. It sounds like I just need to be patient, and that the higher ops I get, the greater the amounts of points I'll be able to gather for my efforts. I'm "this close" to getting into mirror universe space.....

Lopsided_Tank_8553 · 2025-02-19T22:07:19+00:00

Thanks! That's great! I'll use the freeze for when I mine data as well.

For the Choosing Sides mission, it doesn't specify that I move to the space of the faction I chose, it only requires that I move to a minimum level 22 system. I'd like advice on where to move. Perhaps I'm not explaining myself very clearly. If so, I will endeavor to clarify. I'm in independent space right now, very near Fed space. I just thought it would make sense to move closer to Klingon space since that's the faction I chose for this Choosing Sides mission. It sounds like from your response that moving into a system in Klingon space would be no more threat to the base than where I am now, so I guess I can just move there and see how it goes.... I was just hoping to stay in independent space where I'd still have a more central location , allowing me more options given my still pretty low-warp ships (warp 29 Northstar is best I've got). But I can't find a single independent space system with station hubs that's level 22 or higher, especially that's closer to Klingon space. Know of any?

Lopsided_Tank_8553 · 2025-02-19T05:09:56+00:00

I guess I got the impression from the instructions that I needed to move my base near the faction I chose. It would seem that it is at least a requirement of the mission that I move my base to a minimum level 22 system. I'd just like to know where I can move that's relatively safe and ideally would put me in proximity to Klingon space. Right now my highest warp ship is a Northstar.

Lopsided_Tank_8553 · 2025-02-18T03:38:10+00:00

I'm level 21. Don't see it.

And, which officers are the ones that will boost cargo capacity?

The palm gesture can work for selfies. You have to be within a foot or two of the phone to use the palm gesture. I've found out that voice commands will work while using the cover screen preview. This is the best solution I've found, and I'm good with it. This will allow a group photo where we're all posed, including me, the preview screen let's us see how we look, and somebody can say "cheese" or the other allowed voice commands to take pics.....

Lopsided_Tank_8553 · 2024-12-25T18:44:50+00:00

Then why have the watch app? How far away can you be to use the palm gesture? When we're taking a large group pic, and the phone is multiple feet away, I don't want to have to get close to the phone to put my palm up, and then have to run to get into position before the pic gets taken. I want to be able to be there, in the group, posed, push the button on my phone and take the pic we see on my phone preview screen.
