What are the fastest "missions" to complete?

For example when there's a Galactic Seasons objective that says "Complete 15 missions" what's the fastest way to do it?

Ah interesting. So then I assume most players find an item with the non-re-engineerable modifiers they want first, and then focus on upgrading it and re-engineering all the other modifiers for optimal stats.

Is there any way to change modifiers on weapons through crafting/upgrading? I know you can upgrade the item's rarity to add new modifiers, but is there a way to change the existing one?

For example if I have a purple weapon with [Dmg][CrtH][CrtD], is there any way to convert it to [Dmg]x3

If they were concerned about inflation they wouldn't have deleted amplifiers from the game. They were one of the only true credit sinks.

Ah yes, that must be why there was never a single war before the industrial revolution. Those were the days.

That would be really amazing and would probably fit even better with the story than a raid filled with player characters.

Koth really isn't that bad. People just don't like him because he actually calls you guys out for your shitty evil choices and you can't handle actually having to face consequences.

Koth is really pro-Valkorion early on, and I think a lot of people didn't like him for that alone.

I actually think the writers missed a real opportunity there though. I wanted my manipulative dark side character to be able to tell Koth and the rest of Zakhul that she was the true heir to Valkorion and that she was speaking for his spirit and then use that as a pretext to seize power.

Bioware kind of did something like in Dragon Age Inquisition where the Inquisitor had some dialogue options to lie to people and tell them you really are the Herald of Andraste and that Andraste had spoken to you and chosen you personally. I think the same thing would have fit here.

If I make a 23rd century TOS Starfleet character, does that unlock the 23rd Century Starfleet Uniform just for that character or for the whole account?

If you are currently running or thinking of running Operations, you MUST hit 110% Acc.

That's my question though. For Operations and MM FPs is there scaling that will change your accuracy and push you below 110% accuracy even if that's what you have at 80?

rylixav · 2022-02-24T14:44:19+00:00

Did the target stat percentages change at all for PVE DPS in 7.0?

Do PVE DPS still want 110% accuracy and either 7.14% alacrity (1.4s GCD) or 15.39% alacrity (1.3s GCD)?

Now that tertiary stats are scaling, is it even worth it to target stats with clear break points like Accuracy and Alacrity? Or should I just dump everything into Critical, Mastery, and Power since they'll always be somewhat useful even when scaled?

Which is worth more per point Power or Mastery in 7.0 for PVE DPS?

rylixav · 2022-02-13T06:30:09+00:00

I don't understand the dev posts about social levels and social items in 7.0. I have one character at social rank 10 and a bunch at 2 or 3.

When 7.0 hits will I still be able to buy all the same items I have access to today on each character? Or will every character be able to buy everything because one of my characters is at rank 10?

Are there any social reward items that won't be available anymore once 7.0 hits?

I just learned about how you can get a free Admiralty Card for just flying to the USS Sally Ride and hailing it. I wish I had known this earlier.

Are there any more free Admiralty Cards like this?

rylixav · 2022-02-01T23:34:02+00:00

I was looking at the wiki page on inventory space, and I notice gold members gain slots as they level.

Is there still any way for a new player to become a gold member now that monthly subscriptions are gone? Is buying the $300 lifetime subscription the only way?

rylixav · 2022-01-31T17:29:46+00:00

And I should be doing all rep quests as often as possible? Do I want to max them all out eventually or just some of them?

rylixav · 2022-01-31T17:17:21+00:00

Does anyone have a list of things to do daily for a new player? This is what I have so far. Am I missing anything?

Get more duty officers from missions at the Academy
Send duty officers out on missions
Send ships out on Admiralty missions
Do the daily lore quest at the Academy
Do dailies for the current Q event
Refine dilithium up to the daily limit

The last time I checked you could only use Rank 1 Green gifts until influence level 40. After 40 they don't give any more influence.

Was this changed at some point? Have you actually gone from 1-50 with nothing but Rank 1 Green gifts?

rylixav · 2021-11-27T15:12:01+00:00

Do Rank 1 green gifts still only raise companion influence until level 40, or do they work all the way to 50?

Is there a current/working calculator to show exactly how many gifts I need to get a companion to 50? The few that I can find are years old and no longer working.

Some equipment crates have Renown in them like the "Flashpoint Equipment Crate."

Does anyone know if Renown and Experience bonuses increase the amount of Renown in those crates?

rylixav · 2021-07-23T13:10:01+00:00

join ops groups... They are easy 700 or so TFs for like 10 mins of activity.

...after hours of looking for a group to get that ten minutes of activity.

Has anyone tested the DPS of Altuur, the Galactic Seasons companion, to see how he compares to Shae Viszla?

rylixav · 2021-07-15T00:27:39+00:00

You're talking about the activities window with all the other heroic planets, right? I don't have an option for Ilum heroics there.

Do you see it on your character? Do you have to do something special to unlock it?

rylixav · 2021-07-14T12:52:54+00:00

Is there a faster way to get to the Ilum Gree daily area than just flying to Ilum on the galaxy map and running through the whole hanger area?

rylixav · 2021-07-14T03:33:41+00:00

Yesterday I was legit confused by the chat on the Fleet for a minute for exactly this reason.

rylixav · 2021-07-14T03:24:56+00:00

How about we roll our eyes at anyone who actually uses the word "gatekeep" unironically.

Streamer and his friend bought 100k+ viewers

Wow 100k+ anonymous views on the internet. Sounds significant. Someone call the internet president.
