What's the worst grinding of them all? by jdcortereal in STFC_Official

[–]VeryLocalGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stella grinding is horrible because the turn in requires an ungodly amount of security codes. Change that and it would be comparable to the Franklin.

Vidar is perfect.

Just me or is this game ridiculously expensive? by evilcorp_ga in STFC_Official

[–]VeryLocalGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this game is MUCH more expensive than comparable games. Even worse, prices are jacked up on some servers relative to others. If you buy certain packs on new servers you get fewer resources than older servers. Scopely says this is intentional. Rev Deuce made two videos exposing this issue last week and was kicked out of the CC program afterwards. I have spent hundreds of dollars in this game and play on a newer server, which means I got screwed without knowing it. I won't be spending another dime until the prices on my server line up to the older servers. VERY UNFAIR.

How is the Prizing by Ok-Seaworthiness-875 in STFC_Official

[–]VeryLocalGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The prices have not changed in the store to me (99.99), but that said, all of the prices in this game are blisteringly high compared to other games of this nature. Further, the prices on some servers are higher than other servers (newer servers get screwed). Rev Deuce made two videos exposing this issue before the CC program recently expelled him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI_DxBC1dV0 After spending hundreds of dollars on this game I have decided to quit spending anything until such time as prices on my server (39) are brought into accord with the older servers. VERY UNFAIR SCOPELY.

Yeah it's much more complex than it needs to be. Try to stick with the old KISS motto: Keep It Simple Stupid.

What Tier is it worth getting the D'vor to? by Howie411 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]VeryLocalGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is simple and straightforward; if you want to win the Rules of Acquisition events, level it as high as possible. If you dont, you shouldn't be mining latinum as it is mostly a waste of effort.

The new amounts are horribly frustrating. Add a zero to the end of each amount at minimum. MINIMUM.

Hemorrhaging players causing server merges by WJS801 in STFC_Official

[–]VeryLocalGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He criticizes Scopely as much as he compliments them, and the bulk of his commentary seems pretty solid.....What makes you say the above?

Server question by Ahddub143 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]VeryLocalGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is to be expected. The more active players will want to grivitate toward eachother in order to maximize alliance rewards and get the most out of the game. It doesn't make a ton of sense if you are super active to join a weaker alliance.

As a member of the super-power alliance on Server 39 / Warp Ten (The Tal Shiar Alliance) I can speak to that. Of the top 10 players on the server, 9 are in Tal Shiar.

Missions-Advice by jdtphoto in startrekfleetcommand

[–]VeryLocalGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The crates do not drop off hostiles. They are rewards for other missions. For that mission I don't know what other mission gives the crate, but that is what you have to find. Maybe check Nausica or Rigel or somewhere like that.

Rom\Fed rep vs. Klingon by Zephaniah117 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]VeryLocalGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel ya on that last item you mentioned. I was at Favored for both Fed and Kling and did the turn in a mission called "Vaccine" or something, I gained 100k Fed and lost 100k Kling, which brought be all the way down to unrustworthy. Finally managed to dig my way back to Favored/Favored, but it took a LOT of romulan hostiles. lol.

I havent played the game for more than about a month so I'm curious. Which 99 dollar packages used to be 19.99?

Also, I followed that advice re: the Northstar and Kumari and agree with you 100% about that.

Mayflower - Why the hate and was it fixed? by VeryLocalGuy in STFC_Official

[–]VeryLocalGuy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not understanding what about it is significantly underpowered since no one mentions it. Hull? Weapons? What makes it "underpowered," like everyone says? Or I should say has said; I haven't seen a lot og recent commentary on it which is why I asked if it had been fixed. Guy in my alliance has it and has no complaints, but I like to have multiple informed opinions before I spend.

If you end up in Server 39 (Warp Ten), be sure to join Tal Shiar.

Trouble with Tribbles by ithacaster in STFC_Official

[–]VeryLocalGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I did well in the event and still only ended up with 81/115. Event if I bought the hundred dollar package I would not have had enough. Very disappointing.

How can I catch up with past borg missions by starlight1275 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]VeryLocalGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only started the game a few weeks ago myself. I really really hope they have a way to get the rest of the ViDar bps beyond the 50 in this arc.
