Question about Shuttle Missions
Legolas
✭✭
in Ready Room
I have a number of crew who all need various items that are listed as only available via shuttle/faction missions. I have 4 shuttles and they always run at 99% and yet no matter how many times I run them, the items never drop. I've even tried the double rewards boost. Am I doing something wrong or is there a specific strategy that seems to be working for people?

I do the same. I also tend to run all four shuttle's of the same faction. So, for example atm I need a 4* clothing pattern, so all my shuttle's are augment. Actually all my shuttle's for the last 3 weeks have been augment, (outside of events) thinking about it. Was very happy with Sec31 being in the faction event as it meant I could stock up,on holoprograms, another item I constantly needed.
If I've ran shuttle's all day and still need the item then I'll replicate, if I really want that item equipped. And sometimes I'll replicate the one above if it needs a ridiculous amount
When I first started playing I didn't use the replicator for a week because I wasn't sure what it was or where the stuff went or if I'd regret using it as fuel.....now it's a life saver. I'd be far more frustrated with this game if it wasn't for the replicator.

We all have this problem -- you're not doing anything wrong. I've found 0* ancient films (Federation) and 0* holoprograms to be the most annoying. As Skizzy said, cadet missions and the replicator are your only other options.

best and only way to get some items, look into your inventory and make a list of
missing items (all, not only the 4*) and let your replicator burn like hell
Your ritual is identical to mine. Dabo, then augment store looking for 2* science experiment then Section 31 looking for 0* holoprogram
so... just for perspective.. at the end of the last event 6/7-6/11, where section 31 won, and all missions were -30min completion time.. Because i had the facton "crashed" the missions were INSTANT complete.. limited only by the time to repetitiously push buttons..
in 4 days I went from 8x0*holoprograms to 352x0*holoprograms, and about 3000 chrons
all for hte low cost of about 2500 merits...
would you pay 2500 merits for 3000 chrons? and have the bonus stuff besides?
...Then Maquis for those damned 2* Encoded Communiques everyone needs multiples of. Nearly always need Dilithium for those though and I'm not doing that!

8 shuttles? I thought the max owned was 4. What am I missing?
8 shuttle transmissions. That's how many you can purchase for 75 merits in the Faction Centers once you have reached "Honored" reputation.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

Ah, thx for clarifying!
Just opening the transmission but not running it, and then letting it expire? No, it doesn't count for anything (except that you'd be down one transmission ).

points in this game, it takes awhile to figure it all out. Thanks for the info !
There are indeed. It can be a bit overwhelming at first. But you'll be an STT guru before you know it.

Save any dilithium you get to purchase the 3rd and 4th shuttle.
For now run as many shuttles back to back as you can to increase your standing with factions and get better/constant turnaround of crew experience trainers to help level up your crew.
Seconded on the 3rd and 4th shuttle. It's the best value for your dil.
Augments, Maquis, Federation, Section 31 and KCA should be prioritized as they have the most widely-used faction only items.
Non-event shuttles shouldn't use time or skill boosts; eventualy successes and failures (sorry, it's "completions" now) balance out regardless of skill and you'll want those boosts for events anyway. Using treasure boosts for regular shuttle overnights is fine.
Also, when choosing your crew, keep in mind that the shuttles use the character base skill only, not the proficiency roll that's added on.
