Your preferred skirmishes ship and crew!

What ships and crew are you guys using?

I've been doing well with the IKS T'Ong and Enemy Lines Sisko, LoB, Mirror Spock, and Lore. The only ship in the lineup that gives me any trouble is the Borg Cube, and only because it's so beefy.
They say time is the fire in which we burn.

    The exact same setup I use in the arena:

    Bounty with Rura Penthe Reed, Chaotica, Undercover O'brien and Mirror Phlox. Dont always get bonus points from crew but its all easy wins (even against the Borg cube).

  • ISS/ Undercover O'Brien/Rura Penthe Reed/ Platonian Kirk/Young Khan - frequently getting through all 5 without hull damage :)

    Bounty: T'vkuma Smurf (375% Insta. damage), 1st Officer Burnham (400% Insta. Damage), Wrathful Khan(250% insta. damage) and Darth Bashir (20% hull repair). I didn't last a single battle with the Defiant, its really quite bad on EPIC.

    Not lost my shields yet, and only get minor hull damage from the opponents boarding ability which is easily repaired by Darth Bashir, or the inbuilt Bounty bonus.

    DB: Do Better
  • Bounty, with T'Kuvma, Graduation Burnham, Tempted Data and Bond Bashir.

    Just burns through everything pretty quickly.
  • Krayton with T'Kumquat, Young Khan, Surak and RAF Bashir. Ending every skirmish-run without any damage.

    Cube. Prisoner O'Brien, Klingon O'Brien, Raquetball Bashir, and Young Kahn. There are probably better combos, but I've never lost a battle, so I don't feel like changing.

    Cross-posting from the "time sink" thread:

    Ship: Borg Scout Ship

    Crew:
    • Killy
    • Klingon O'Brien
    • Locutus
    • Young Khan

    Strategy:
    Pop Locutus as soon as he comes up.

    When they come up (all have inits at 6 seconds) fire: O'Brien, Killy, Borg Laser Cutting Beam

    With 1/5 Killy and 4/5 Locutus, this will result in instant death ~70% of the time and frequently dead within the next shot or two.

    Why:
    My battle time is usually 7-10 seconds long. While there might be more powerful or consistent compositions, this one has finished matches the fastest for me. If I'm focused on it, I can clear a set of 5 matches in 2:30-3:00.

    Borg Cube.

    Warship Yar, T'kuvma, RAF Bashir and Darth Bashir (before I got him, I was rotating that last slot based on bonus crew between Garland, Mirror Picard and Kilted Scotty).

    I get 3/4 bonus in first round, 4/4 second, and 2/4 in the last two. Works well enough for me.

    EDIT: misremembered, the last one I get 3/4 bonus

  • Bounty: RAF O'Brien, Kal-if-fee Spock, Young Khan, Alternate Future Bashir

    Like the arena, I honestly don't feel like I have any idea what I'm doing, but it seems to be working for me.

    T'Ong w/ Captain Killy, Klingon Janeway, Young Khan, and Bell Riot (or Darth) Bashir.
  • PinkyfirstPinkyfirst ✭✭✭
    Borg Cube with Killy, Undercover O'Brien/Ardra, Author Doctor, and Laborer Spock.
    Insta damage, crit, accuracy, and shields. I haven't had any hull damage yet with that setup.
  • YateballYateball ✭✭✭✭✭
    Cube with Killy, T'kuvma, Darth Bashir (to proc the bonus needed) and Chaotica
    All three burst damage and the borg cutting beam means no ship lasts longer than 10 seconds
  • Commander SinclairCommander Sinclair ✭✭✭✭✭
    Started with ISS Ent, but quickly changed to Bounty.

    Using Young Khan as Primary for bonus, Klingon Bride Jadzia, Mirror Mayweather, and Prisoner K Cornwell

    Never a scratch to the hull, and have shields left on every battle. Final against Sarcophagus over in about 10 seconds with that crew.

    I tested this setup with Smiley instead of Klingon O’Brien and now Kortar instead of Klingon O’Brien and still get similar results (also: 1/5* Locutus and 2/5* Killy). Kortar is nice if you don’t get an instant kill, on account of the attack speed bonus.

    for my ship: I.S.S. Enterprise max level

    Crew is: Assimilated Tuvok for raw damage output (will opt for T'Kuvma when he gets his final star)
    Wrathful Khan( spike damage and he is event crew)
    Captain T'Pol (20% hull heal and she is the mainstay of keeping the Enterprise intact)
    RAF Bashir (evasion specialist as well as bonus crew)

    this setup has been great and usually any boarding damage is healed off quickly by T'Pol other than that they rarely break the shields to do damage bar the Discovery which is the hardest hitting of the bunch

    You only get the haste bonus from Kortar if you used it to break cloak. Something the Borg Cube cannot accomplish (though, you'd like they'd prioritize assimilating a Klingon scientist...

    Also using my arena setup:
    1. NX-01 Level 10
    2. Killy 5/5
    3. Ushaan Archer 5/5
    4. Aviator Yar 5/5
    5. Enemy Lines Sisko 5/5

    That setup usually nukes the enemy vessel before Sisko ever has a chance to charge. He sometimes gets used on the final battle. I run a ticket in 2mins41sec and is worth 6k VP each time.

    Put your head down and grind for a few hours and you'll be able to rest for the weekend.

    Cube - Tkuvma, chaotica, young kahn, and suus mahna Sarek. As soon as tkuvma and Sarek light up, one shot and done. chaotica just in case it doesn't one shot with those two. Cube is still shiny with no damage on epic. kahn is just there for the bonus, I never use him.

    PM for details.

    So long and thanks for all the fish.
  • I've been running the Bounty with Mirror Bashir, Mirror Spock, Prisoner O'Brien, and Darth Bashir. Probably not a perfect combo, but Bashir and/or ship skill repair any hull damage before the end of each round, and I clear all 5 rounds on epic without difficulty, every time. Generally at least 3 crew are getting bonuses, and often all 4.

    Egg and my face are in alignment. Back to Smiley...then again, I kept tearing though the opposition with just Kortar’s accuracy bonus, so I may keep him after all.

    ______________________________________________________________
    Main account:

    Epic: Bounty (maxed)
    1. 1/5 FE Darth Bashir
    2. Immortal Young Khan
    3. Immortal Killy
    4. Immortal Guinan

    ______________________________________________________________

    Primary alternate account:

    Elite: Defiant (7/9)
    1. 1/5 FE Pointing Sisko (got lucky with my one pack pull on Wed :p )
    2. 1/5 FE Wrathful Khan
    3. Immortal Mirror Mayweather

    ______________________________________________________________

    Winning most battles on main account in less than 10 seconds. Alt account battles go even faster — often in less than 5 seconds — so that ship bonus is really helping me there, despite not having the Defiant maxed.


    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

  • Max level D'Kora Krayton with T'Kuvma, Graduation Michael Burnham, Suus Mahna Sarek, and Captain Proton Paris, in that order. T'Kuvma is a beast, Sarek is good back up damage, and the other two have good modifier abilities when the other two are on cooldown. I also get decent specific battle crew bonuses on three of the five in Epic. I'm not too concerned with the other two, as I'd rather have better odds of winning than try to gamble on better rewards.

    Finally settled on Krayton with Darth Bashir, Young Khan, T'Kuvma and Ardra. Basically nuke and mend.

    Then this post prompted me to time a Skirmish from start to finish, including all reward screens. Total time: 03:48:13 so just over 3m 45s.

    Ship ISS Enterprise, because it is my favourite 5* 10/10

    Crew for all battles.

    Eng: Young Khan for VP bonus.
    Med: Cornwell, one of my best med.
    Sec: 5/5 Killy Tilly.
    Command: 1/5 Killy Tilly.

    I tried using Sith Bashir and Changling Bashir as med for hull repair but hull repair is not needed, and I never have time to trigger them anyway.

    No problems yet, and the Borg Cube is easy to take out.
  • Not always the fastest, but regularly have no hull damage.

  • Shy KhanShy Khan ✭✭✭✭✭
    For Phase 1 I ran Bounty with
    1) Young Khan
    2) Ambassador Spock
    3) Off Duty Tilly
    4) Rakal Troi

    That setup required constant monitoring, took 24-50 seconds per fight and almost led to disaster in Phase 2, so now I use a Borg Cube with:

    1) T’Kuvma
    2) Rakal Troi
    3) Anakin Bashir
    4) Ambassador Spock

    And now battles typically take 12-24 seconds.
