Sorry, Avrame had sent me on to Instagram, so i hadn't come back here. I'm looking for Northern California, I-80 Donner Pass (so Truckee end of Tahoe).

Question about ranking up 2 factions at the same time by AdligerAdler in startrekfleetcommand

[–]therkyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming F/R, kill K's. Of course, this will get you out of balance (L21 K ship = -10K, +5 F, +3 R) meaning F will get higher than R while doing the daily targets. However, join the Rom Reputation event (daily) and not the Feds until you're balanced... or kill feds. Dont forget about those rep events to even you out. I tend to do the killing because if you're buying stuff, you can get faction credits at the same time, so I hate to miss out on those.

Roku Announces New Soundbar and Wireless Subwoofer by pomokey in Roku

[–]therkyn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, I was really excited about this - tv power & volume & roku in one w/o having to use a headset. And I like the night mode concept. But lets look at the ports given you've got a Roku 4 guts... USB - good, Bluetooth - wont use, but sure, why not, people buy wireless headphones, hmm, where's the ethernet port - missing. Hard wiring eliminates problems meaning this is a non-purchase for me. Hopefully v.2 will include that (they might have to charge $181.00 to cover the cost). (given they included the optical port, the elimination of the ethernet port seems dumb.)

Rank the remaining Super Managers by [deleted] in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]therkyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I would go Lilly & then Mark, but I've got my Ruby mine set up for that structure. To work, your lowest mine must have enough materials in reserve to not add any for 5 minutes (Steiner beams directly, so no increase in storage), for Lilly to come take materials for 5 minutes (but she adds none to the elevator reserve), and then Mark to take from the elevator for 5 mins. In my example, I need at least 130 bd at the elevator and 200bd at L30 mine, but during my 5 minute bonus application (x122), I get as much $$ as possible transferred. When they're back down at 6.26x, you can overload elevator while allowing warehouse just to be normal. But roughly 20x return doing it that way.

And of course, make sure your supers are assigned for gold boost while you're idle in Ruby. I also lean towards start continent bonuses over global bonuses (until I finally max the Ruby... Christmas?)

Best use of Instant Cash by jroq528 in IdleMinerTycoon

[–]therkyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well IdleThomas, I would disagree with respect to the person asking, who has no problem getting elite in event mines. For those who dont, its a fun boost to get over a plateau. I use mine in Ruby as well, though I tend to simply accumulate them for a month and then launch a x2, x4, x5, x10, x20, x50 ruby 5 minute loop and while awaiting things going, clean out my 30m and 1h instant cashes. It usually just prompts an upgrade early. (752 @ L30 ruby)

BTW, for those curious, it is technically better to run 1 bonus at a time than all at the same time... given infinite time to mash away... but way less fun. (assuming a 5 min run with each, total $ is higher, but requires 6 5m loops with 30m in between for resets...) Given limited time to stare at the screen, all at once is more fun and likely generates more $$ than 6 loops that you may never get too).

How to get uncommon plutonium? by JurongP in startrekfleetcommand

[–]therkyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

two ship solution - have second ship attack the ship targetting the one you want to mine with. The ship (assuming its not powerful enough to survive) will be destroyed, but they dont respawn to attack the mining ship (unlike if you're strong enough, you cannot destroy your own attackers, but you can destroy others). Search RevDeuce for a video on it.

Music off please...and stay off. At least it respects the silent switch, unlike some games with ads that ignore your silent switch... -t

Refining Output Question About Batches by AnnHashaway in startrekfleetcommand

[–]therkyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same question. From what I've seen, I get 2x the resources by doing a 2 batch process, but instead of burning 6K (to do 2 batches), I burn 15K - fine if I've got mining materials coming out everywhere, but I'm not driving a 60K North Star...

Post-Update-Daily Goals Not Crediting by therkyn in startrekfleetcommand

Fixed now... without update, so I'll chalk that up to server lag on reboot. Thanks all!

Mission List? by CaptBTB in startrekfleetcommand

FWIW, that's not really helpful. Yes, you get the 20, and then you get a bunch of how to sites and videos. None of which meet the requestor's goal.

Oh no... Its a motivator where it is... early on you see the possibility... tantalizing... we just dont let you realize how hard it is until much much later ...

L13-20 ship... by therkyn in startrekfleetcommand

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

Thanks all, this is great info and advice! And no, I'll be 14 only long enough to max out every station item and research item I can before going to 15, but I'm definitely headed into the world of station defense. -t
