    Any tips on how to improve my shuttle mission events? I only have 3 and I’m lame at these events.

    Set alarms, send your shuttles every 3 hours(or less if using boosts). Don't let your shuttles sit idle waiting for you to claim them.

    And I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but get a 4th shuttle. That will add 30% to your score right there. If you're on a monthly card save the DIL until you can buy the shuttle. If you're F2P, save your achievement DIL until you have enough DIL too. I know it seems like a lot of DIL, but it's the biggest improvement you can make and the best investment you can make with DIL in this game.

    Excellent point. Even if you are worried about the success rate on the fourth shuttle, a failure still returns more VP and loot than no shuttle at all.
  • Any tips on how to improve my shuttle mission events? I only have 3 and I’m lame at these events.

    Use the ramp-up strategy, and just run as many shuttles as you can. The most important thing I learned was to not be discouraged by the calculated success chances or even by shuttle failures. You can have a wave of 94% successes all fail, and another wave of 6% successes all come through. Just keep sendin' 'em out.

    Are you referring to the KickStart strategy? I was under the impression that was nerfed somewhat.

    Because of the varying number of shuttles per event now it can mean that you can't always QS to 4K shuttles as quickly/easily, but the quick start is still very much something you want to do when the event starts.

    To the extent that you can no longer open 30 missions, yes it was reduced. But it's still more effective than doing nothing. And if you don nothing while 2000 players are doing the kickstart, you will be behind them even with its reduced effectiveness.

    Sound logic. I should have just enough for a 4th shuttle and enough merits to fund the initial push. This last event was my first where I could rank high to get the gold character. Hope to start making that a trend now.

    I'm down for another star on Garak. Thinking I'll share Augment Riker with my squadron rather than Romulan Kirk. There were plenty of ENG slots in the event's first run, and while there were also plenty of DIP, I expect my squadron will be heavier on DIP bonus crew.

    I'm actually worried about the lack of DIP options, I know my benchmark is 1404 but still only two crew cover that and one in spitting distance.

    Think I might go for Tourist Trip after all.

    Edit so that is 3 decent options but it should also be noted that's Minatakan Riker with 4/5 stats whom not many would have.

    At this rate, I feel like Mirror Garak should just stay out of the freezer thanks to all the events he’s in.

    Arrrrggh! Hundreds and hundreds of Merit spending on crew shuffling this week. I was going to threshold & out, but I kinda want the new Paris.
    I want to become a Dilionaire...
  • So I've had Romulan Kirk and Augment Riker both sitting at Lvl 1 with only 1* for the longest time. This is kinda kool that I finally get to use them both and should be able to Imortalize one and hopefully add a couple stars to the other.

    Is there any way to know which is going to be Threshold rewards and which will be Ranked rewards? That way If i can't level them both I know who to work on first.

    Usually on a rerun they flip the threshold and ranked super rares. The first Shore Leave Augment Riker was threshold and Romulan Kirk was ranked so this event Romulan Kirk will likely be the threshold super rare and Augment Riker the ranked. Up to you which you lvl up. If Romulan Kirk is the threshold you will be able to get more copies of him during the event but also get equipment for him in the event. You could always start with Romulan Kirk and take him to lvl 80 or 90 and then finish him during the event adding in the lvl90 shirt from thresholds if he is threshold.

    So I checked the last rerun faction event, Alpha and Omega. They didn't swap the Threshold and Ranked rewards according to the wiki. Maquise Ro both times.

    I think I will just level them to around 80-90 and wait for them to release the final info later in the week.

    There's still other ways to accelerate the start if DB varies how many shuttles can be opened at the start of a Faction event. It was 30 ideally, but there's ways to kick start, 24 shuttles, 20 shuttles & 18 shuttles.

    Depends how you are for engineering do you have mirror and or ev tucker if you do I would say go with Kirk there is limited decent dip options and his 1/4 base stats are better than rikers, that being said you could run Romulan shuttles and level him during the event, unless you are well stocked on Romulan items.

  • Ha, and here i was thinking only about Kirk. I also have a 2* Mirror Tucker who could be usefull. Better get to work, he's still level 1.

    Riker with his triple bonus would be slightly better but have a look at the crew cost finder to see which ones might be easier out of the two. I wouldn't recommend doing more than 2 on the go not unless it is during a skirmish event.

    Funny you said this because I completely forgot about Tucker too. I have EV suit Tucker at 3/4 lvl 1 and Tucker on the Ropes at 1/5 lvl 1. I guess I’d better get to work too.

    1. Will Evolved Janeway count as a Paris variant for the event in 2 weeks? Kinda like how Tuvix counts for Neelix and Tuvok for events. @Shan @SunshineRiker

    No, Evolved Janeway will not count as a variant of Paris.

    Well, that's disappointing.

    Disappointing from a gameplay perspective, but makes sense given the nature of the card. Tuvix was a combination of both characters in one. Evolved Janeway is a separate lizard from lizard Paris.

    It's not that I don't get it, the fused card makes no mention of Paris. It is only a bit of a precedent break. If you have to consume a Paris card to make it, it would stand to reason that there is still a "Paris" in there somewhere. But you also lose all the COM and MED skill in the fusion too, so it's not like you aren't giving up things already.

    It's a bad fusion. Evolved Janeway was not a merger with Paris. She was her own evolution. They should have released evolved Janeway as a 4*, and then had the kids as the merged 5*. Then the kids could count for both.

    Plus if TNG's "The Inner Light" could only manage a Hugo award, I'm not going to put too much stock into it.

    Well, maybe think of it this way - you're not fusing two people, you're fusing an event in Mutated Paris' timeline, namely building a transwarp drive and kidnapping the captain, with Janeway. The result is hyper-evolved Janeway. It wouldn't contain Paris characteristics, but is a result of a Paris event.

    This is the most Voyager-y explanation of anything, ever. Perfect.
