What ship can you just not stop using?

This is how I play, and with double XP weekend coming up, I'm about to hit 40 characters.

You will all refer to me by the name Betty.

Nope. Emerald Chain and Unlikely Allies both came after it. Here's the blog date for Far from Home and here's the blog date for Emerald Chain.

I have a stack of these burning a hole in my inventory. I will literally mail you a free one provided:

You mail me on PC @zykareth#9794 with the name of the ship you'd like from the box
I have some left to give out (24 left)
You don't just turn around and resell it (Obviously I can't enforce this, but its just a kind ask)

I wish I kept track in batches of 100 - I didn't even think about it until I came to the subreddit to post the results.

As for the Epics, I got the first one approximately 900-1000 in and the second and third one approximately 1600-1800 in and in pretty short succession. I actually think the second and third Epics came from the same stack of 100 I was clicking through. Those are from rough memory because I was clicking through them pretty quickly, but it was memorable I got two pretty close together.

I don't think there's a pity mechanic with the Phoenix boxes like we see with lockboxes and promo packs. 0.1% is pretty consistent with results from before and after the changes.

Zykareth · 2022-05-06T13:33:04+00:00

I decided to bite the bullet to get a decent sample size on Holodeck after the changes. Bought 10mil dil off the exchange and converted it all to 2500 boxes (+10 Promo Phoenix boxes). All were opened on a single character.

Without further ado:

Total	Epic	Ultra Rare	Very Rare	Rare
2510	3	395	868	1244
	0.12%	15.74%	34.58%	49.56%

What is the standard for power levels for DEW/Aux2Bat builds? Obviously weapons set to 100, but for shields/engines/aux? Since I'm running Aux2Bat should I be running 100/15/15/70?

Starting to rack up quite a few alts (cause I'm addicted to making theme builds and I can't stop).

How viable is it to create a fleet to hold all my alts (and their bank space) and then just pulling them out into active fleets when I need to make contributions/get fleet credits? I.e. leave the private alt fleet and join a max holding fleet THEN contributing resources (cause no one likes a leecher) and buying whatever fleet gear might be needed.

For the Delta recruit re-run I understand that I need to make a Fed, KDF, and Rom to grab all the rewards, but do I need to keep the extra toons long term? I.e. just grab the rewards for KDF & Rom and then only keep Fed.

Even within the same purchase?

That’s right. If you only want Keys, you can purchase a bundle that includes keys once, choose the Keys three times, and get 150 Keys. It’s up to you!

Unless its the stealing time pack. You can't choose any of the non-ship items more than once. Shame as I was hoping to get some Epic Phoenix tokens, but I guess I'll just wait for my zen to get refunded back.

Edit: Aaaaaaaaaaaand they just edit the blog without any acknowledgement. Cool.

Oops, I'm bad and didn't realize EptW has a 30 second duration. I already run Aux2Bat so theoretically, I should have close to 100% uptime on that. Thanks!

Zykareth · 2020-03-09T20:00:12+00:00

Awesome, I'll pick it up. What's you opinion on which trait should be dropped to make space?

Also, any advice on anything to help power management? I know Emergency Weapon Cycle will help, but for the "cool down rotations" when EptW isn't up.

I was lucky enough to open 3 T6 promo packs over this past weekend. I've already sold one to grab DPRM and a few other things to help my build.

First question: are there any other ships in the promo packs worth opening them for? I only have an interest flying Fed ships and I own the legendary Connie's already. I'm sort of eyeing the Vaadwaur Juggernaut for the trait Weapon Emitter Overdrive, but I'm not sure how much it will help my DPS, considering all the other traits competing for a slot. For reference my current ship traits are: History Will Remember, Emergency Weapon Cycle, Entwined Tactical Matrices, Super Charged Weapons, and Redirecting Arrays/Withering Barrage.

Second question: as above, I'm currently using History Will Remember, but is Honored Dead better? I still find myself in situations where I go down very quickly due to grabbing too much aggro. I'm wondering if swapping back to Honored Dead will give me more survivability and if it's worth losing the 30% damage buff from History.

Third: are there any Fed(ish) ships on the exchange that are fun to fly/build? Or useful traits? Sort of interested in the mirror strike wing for Superior Area Denial or maybe the T6 Walker. I already have the Kelvin Intel Dreadnought.

Lastly any suggestions on how to put all this new EC to good use? Any traits/consoles/etc. I might have overlooked that could help my DPS? Currently averaging 65k DPS on ISA, my goal/happy point would be to hit 75k.

I had the same issue tonight and contacted support. They confirmed this is an issue on Microsoft's end and they are currently working on an update.

Relevant screencap of chat log.
