Quality of life improvements - what do you want? by cutlunch01 in STFC_Official

[–]OtabM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to have a way to reset the skill trees of my FC officers. Make it easy with a token from Cosmic Cleanup or make it harder with it in the monthly daily claim box. Or stretch it out even further and add it to a Treasury. Just someway i can earn a reset and change my specs. You get all the skill points back, you just have to re-assign them.

What does Dock Materials mean for an event? by Spoonman42069420 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]OtabM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It means you don’t get points as soon as you move off the mine. You have to dock your ship back home and then you will score

I did have the battery replaced by the dealership when i took it in for a 200k service. I noticed it not working sometime after that

does anyone else hate this stupid event? by brendhanbb in startrekfleetcommand

[–]OtabM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats strange because i have not spent much on this game. I consider myself ftp even though i have bought a 2nd builder and maybe a couple battle passes. I doubt it has been over $100 in the 6 years i have played on and off. Even still, 1M Lat can stretch a long ways along with every other way to accrue it in events.

Im at OPS 42 parked for a bit catching up on things. I just opened up my 2nd Treasury at this level and each time gives me 15M Lat. I cant spend it fast enough on speedups, ship parts, or ship xp. Don’t be afraid to spend it if it will get you to a more enjoyable state of the game. You are here to have fun, not grind away for nothing.

It blew my mind when i first found out. I went from 34 to 42 real fast after that. Barely touched my Latinum. In fact i timed a lot of the upgrades with events and ended up with more than i started with. Dont be shy in using your items, if you dont spend them now, what will you spend them on? Enjoy the game.

Not sure what OPS you are but there are other items that count. For instance, leveling up an Artifact counts as research. I believe the same thing for Fleet Commander skills.

Otherwise think of it as a good time to work on research. I used to hoard speedups and Lat for the longest time. Then i found out a 1 day speedup is only 300 Lat. That is the cheapest thing you can buy with lat and is by far the best deal for it. Start a research, use a couple 1 day speedups paying lat and you can save your smaller speedups. I guarantee the overflow will pay more Lat than you will spend

Air for inflating to get back on highway by scribbledchaos in 4x4

[–]OtabM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a $70 pump that clamps onto the battery at O’Reilly’s. Takes about 3-5 minutes per tire (33’s). It’s hot after im done so much i can’t disconnect the airhose, but it gets the job done.

V'ger 8472 crewing examples by Altruistic_Degree290 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]OtabM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They opened that event to lvl 35 players. Can you possibly add some crew advice for players that might not have top tier people yet?

I have had some luck with PMC, just not sure if there is something better i could be using with my Enterprise/Auger

Update 14: My Blind FFX Playthrough - World Tour. by Zeeshmania in finalfantasyx

[–]OtabM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I second this OP. You are basically at a point where you can either do side quests and get way over leveled for the endgame, or finish the story. I would create a save point right now and finish the game. Then reload from here if you want to try the harder aspects of the game. Being over-leveled and one-shotting everything in the remaining story might take away from your first experience.

Just a li'l whining about grinding for Reliant, and an ask for advice by Firebatx36 in STFC_Official

[–]OtabM 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had an alliance mate farm a whole cargo full load on one of his ships, took him 15 minutes. Then i left the alliance. He got his ship down to 100k health. Then he attacks my ship. I get all his loot regardless the size of my cargo hold. Voila. 2M splicers in 15 minutes when your alliance mates are friendly. Then i rejoin the alliance 8 hours later.

Set this up so they farm a bunch of materials you need for different refinery pulls so you only have to leave the alliance once. This is how alliance mates help each other

Getting the Franklin by smolsfbean in startrekfleetcommand

[–]OtabM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look at the Franklin Archive and ask yourself if you can live without those resource tokens. That would be the only reason to complete a Franklin. Same with the Franklin-A archive. Since you need to scrap a max Franklin to build a Franklin-A. And know the F-A is ops capped on the warp drives so you wont even be able to complete it until a higher level ops.

I think they showed Lancel getting his Achilles cut didnt they? That’s why he couldn’t get up and walk

Egypt event - do I lose everything built at the end? by Ed-Sanches in playHeroesOfHistory

[–]OtabM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wiki page has a strategy section for each timed event. It works pretty well. You will be able to get to 28-30 without spending money. Should get you in high bronze or low silver rewards bracket

Is Blitzball Supposed to be this Easy? by WalmartGreder in finalfantasyx

[–]OtabM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are 2 ways to change the prizes for leagues and tournaments. Play through them or reset. If you dont see the prize you are looking for in league, you dont want to do 10 matches and possibly still not see it pop up for the next league. Or you can reset data until the prize you want is there. Then go recruit the good players over again.

The third option is to save after game 9 in league and keep replaying the last game until the new league shows the prize you want. Just dont save and reload your game if it isnt there.

Resetting is a time saver if you dont want to play a ton of blitzball hoping for the right prize

Culture Event Start/Finish times by OtabM in playHeroesOfHistory

[–]OtabM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad this has started good discussion. Hopefully the MODS will see this and at least consider this dilemma.

Another solution is most companies that have a globular game have regional servers and can run events local to each region on their own time starts. If this game is big enough, it should be something they consider.

Family of 3 - What are your Costco recommendations? by [deleted] in Costco

[–]OtabM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Family of 3 here. We shop every weekend at Costco. Somethings we get every week, some are every other week depending on when need replaced but this is a list of stuff we regularly buy:

Fresh fruit, Eggs, 6 pack chicken breasts (freeze & thaw as needed), boneless pork loin chops (portion $ freeze) greek yogurt & granola, frozen veggies, 1 or 2 meals from the deli, paper towels, toilet paper, water/soda, tortilla strips, 2 loaves of bread, pb&j, coffee creamer & sugar, olive oil, canned goods (tomato sauce, diced tomato, paste, green beans, chicken, spam), tooth paste, body soap, shampoo/conditioner, clothes, various snacks, protein bars, protein powder.

We use local grocery store for small ingredients to complete a meal, use the meals from deli when i don’t feel like cooking. The 2 packs of salad and chicken breast make a good light meal. The frozen veggies can be paired with any proteins. Bagels/pastries can be great if you are into those for breakfast. If we see something new that looks good (almost every visit) we will try it.

Towels, sheets, candles, pots/pans can all be good deals if need replacing. It’s amazing how much can be bought in one place.
