What your longest gauntlet streak without any merit refresh?
In the past week or month... ignoring the first 4-8 hour of gauntlet, what's your longest winning streak without any merit refresh?
Edit (2018/04/223):
When you have all 5 crews at full power, and your rank is top 50 or higher, how many winning streaks can you get without any merit refresh?
IOS has video recording capability so please upload in youtube and brag about your streak
Please don't include the first 4-8 hours.
And if you are brave enough show this can be done for the last 4 hours of gauntlet.

And as i recall it only took less than 10 merit refreshes too but that was a month ago so dont quote me
Did 14 without any merits at the end of the gauntlet once... after I overslept and was in 100s.
Edit: 1 guinan, 0 locutus
Perhaps i should have said ' that's *why* i was completely flabbergasted....'
You call that hate? Spending merits with Caretakers >>>>> non-merit streaks that don't give anything major.
At least, I did when Guinan was the reward and I already had 4 so winning another wasn’t my prime concern.
Now that I’m at 1/5 on the caretaker and want a few more stars with him, I’m merit refreshing to get weaker opponents and get longer streaks.
but at start of gauntlet .. I generally make 10-20 easy .. sometimes 20-30 if I get lucky.
It's later in the gauntlet that starts getting tricky .
PM for details.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
I typically go 24 on 6-10 refreshes. I almost never refresh twice in a row during my streaks. Gauntlet doesn't hate me though. Only 2 Locutus, but FF Guinan with change and 3 Caretakers so far. And between Kahless, Picard, Spock, Seven, and now Surak, I don't get a lot of variety in my picks. Now the likes of Geordi, Nechayev, and Phloix never see any action.
Ironically, just picking on the little guys, a pair of 20 streaks still leaves you ranked in the 30s, and it becomes pretty easy to hit 11-15 (actively avoiding 5-10) just by switching to points for the last couple rounds of a gauntlet.
Edit:
OK, got to 6, but my next opponent is 85 points, if I refresh for a low point opponent, does it count? screenshots on the phone, don't feel like transferring now . . .
No. if you refresh using merit then it doesn't count
the poll is for streak without any merit refresh
Honestly it is hard for me to believe that...
If you can, then it must be only certain number users got screwed up.
Just now at rank 40, I could only do 4 streak before I got opponents without matching good trait (and I need to refresh).
STT has a built in video recorder.
Can people upload their video showing that in top50 or maybe top30 that they can do 6+ streaks?
I'm interested to see that
Still haven't received any bonus crew.
If you time your gauntlet join right then you can usually hit fairly weak opponents to start with.
After streaks like that i usually don't go above 6 for the rest of the gauntlet.
Where is this supposed built in video recorder?
The question is to exclude the first 8hr of gauntlet. Also if possible only include the stats when you are in top 50 or better.
I am only interested when you are in the top 50 and exclude the first 8hr.
The recorder is in one on the menu top right. Click that and choose video.
I didn't realize that. In that case, probably a dozen at one point, but hitting 9 is hard. I hit 6 regularly if I really try and don't care about score.
Not on my device (Android).
What are you playing on?
I am using IOS. This has been there since I play the game I think.
Long streaks aren’t necessarily the key. I got both Locutus and my first star on Guinan on nine-win streaks (the second star on Guinan came from an end-of-gauntlet reward) and both stars on my Banjoman came on three-win streaks.
Good luck.
I've read that. I now focus on wins for merits. I maintain over 20k merits.
Banjo Man and Chip off Trip's Block are my two most desired crew st the moment.
20,000 merits...wow. I thought I liked a safety cushion by not going under 3,000-4,000. Nice!
I like a big cushion. I usually have over three million credits and 5 thousand chronitons. This mega event has drained me of resources while trying to level a dozen Vulcans and Romulans. Also I've used half my basic pills today for honor. So I'm low. But it'll come back quickly.
I'm starting leveling the few Augments I have early.
