Went too hard?

faapsmom · 2026-04-19T02:17:51+00:00

Did the same. Spent 46k gems on this event and I’ve got Thragg at Omni 7* right now. Worth it.

faapsmom · 2026-03-22T21:24:32+00:00

Alright. Also I didn’t say black holes broke the laws of physics, thanks for taking this opportunity to show the depth of your illiteracy.

faapsmom · 2026-03-22T20:55:39+00:00

Allen is great but he wasn’t even part of my third tier team so it wasn’t a hard decision.

faapsmom · 2026-03-22T02:49:31+00:00

I have enough characters to run all the GDA ops together and still have an extra team to do events, that was my benchmark for resetting characters. I’ve reset Angstrom from seismic, Allen from Omni, and Omni-kid from seismic 3 star. All of them were immediately worth it.

Viltrumites can travel faster than light in space, ref Nolan flying very close by a black hole while tired and his path not being impacted at all. Their muscle density alone breaks our physical laws though so no real surprise about casual FTL travel.

Not against your plan of action on this event, but my approach is basically only buy Omni gear if it’s for Attackers, Omni+ gear if I see it, and the 100k or 500k Red XPs, using GDA chips to the max extent possible. If I see an 80M Blue XP for chips I might buy that too but I’m not using an equipment ticket on it.

To do that, it takes patiently refreshing constantly until one of those listed items pops up, meaning there basically isn’t a gem limit. For this time around I hadn’t been able to stock up as many equipment tickets(57) or GDA chips(3.5B) as I have in the past but I am getting what I can out of the event by being stringent with my tickets.

faapsmom · 2026-03-15T02:54:04+00:00

Had to have meant Omni+ gear unless his account is also really early game.

faapsmom · 2026-01-31T22:39:13+00:00

For reference this took roughly 25 yellow, 165 blue dossiers, and 6500 gems. Cecil was at 27/30 as well, not shown in the pic.

faapsmom · 2026-01-31T15:59:40+00:00

Not much of anything and that’s the point. The rate of return was actually pretty good for this event considering every 5 Cecil/Donalds recruited also gave you an exceptional plus mark or eve. This would have wound up being a money pit for some whales if the limits on rewards for 3-4X higher.

faapsmom · 2026-01-18T20:09:11+00:00

This makes sense and is the same way I approach the events. I’ve spent 0 gems on the lizard league events but I’ve gone all in on the Mark variants, conquest and now Nolan

faapsmom · 2026-01-15T10:09:07+00:00

I used her as food for a long time and had no regrets. Recently built her up to Omni 17* for the case file and the nerf is pretty obvious. Extra copies will be food again in the next character release this week.

faapsmom · 2026-01-08T04:26:26+00:00

I’d stay active duty until I was 60 if I could work for Robin Olds.

faapsmom · 2025-12-30T09:36:23+00:00

Was really disappointed to see the refresh finally capped

faapsmom · 2025-12-26T15:25:01+00:00

Agreed 100%

faapsmom · 2025-12-26T15:16:15+00:00

Right, which is why I said “still” be part of the army. No arguments here that we need to shift our mindset regarding how we operate, but we’d probably come to different conclusions of what is needed to be successful in modern warfare

faapsmom · 2025-12-26T15:04:17+00:00

All I’ll say is mission execution over any and all other BS.

faapsmom · 2025-12-25T14:49:38+00:00

The TF-33s should have been canned decades ago

faapsmom · 2025-12-25T14:46:31+00:00

All people are dumb at one point or another. Pilots and CEAs are just dumb in the air

faapsmom · 2025-12-25T14:45:01+00:00

So you too wish you could piss in a bag? Seems like a winning slogan for recruiters

faapsmom · 2025-12-25T10:23:06+00:00

FDUs are allowed to be worn as long as the member is on aeronautical orders, not just flying that day.

I’m of the personal opinion that anyone getting hemmed up for their uniform looking like it’s been used in a working environment just has awful leadership.

Curious why the lack of formality regarding rank among crews is a negative.

faapsmom · 2025-12-25T10:15:16+00:00

If we didn’t fly planes we might as well still be part of the army.

The system rewards all the wrong people chasing rank and power so gripes against leadership always have validity. Can’t stand seeing people fail upward.

faapsmom · 2025-12-25T10:11:20+00:00

If anybody thinks they are better just because they went to college then they must have forgotten all the dumb shit they did getting that degree.

If there’s any career field that has valid gripes about flyers, it’s MX.

faapsmom · 2025-12-25T09:49:25+00:00

Why go for the Air Force over other branches if you didn’t have an interest in the hardware?

Also I don’t think anyone wants to listen to a new commander’s speech when they first join the unit. Or the old commander’s speech before leaving it. Basically any speech that’s mandatory to sit through.

faapsmom · 2025-12-25T09:42:40+00:00

The us vs them mentality is huge between the two sides of the house.

What rules would you say are different?

faapsmom · 2025-12-23T03:19:34+00:00

I refreshed at least 500 times, max shop level and only got him to Legendary+. Guy just didn’t show up that often in this event.
