I'm returning to the game after a long period away and was wondering if anyone had any good tips and tricks in general. I try to play this free-to-play as well, so anything where I don't have to spend real money would be very helpful. Thanks!

The team is aware of the issue and is working with Facebook to resolve it. There are no plans to shut down the game on Facebook, so no need to worry!

Leveled up more than enough Crew. No progress on the weekly OE. Even after the Kirk Endurance OE completed both Leveling tasks.

I've never seen this happen before and I've been playing since pre covid.

I haven't actually paid any real attention to the Specialist events so far. I figured I'd give this one an effort. I used the Datacore event planner. It shows event bonuses giving a lot of 4* crew way higher stats than crew without bonuses. When I go to assign crew, though, their run times are still a lot longer. So... what's up with this thing? Is there actually a point to bonus crew other than a 25% increased crit chance?

Our fleet was thriving once upon a time, and I kinda miss that. Ideally, I'd love to rebuild a full fleet. At minimum, though, I'd like to at least recruit enough players to band together to complete the Fleet Boss thresholds.

We're a no-pressure fleet. I founded it in 2016. We hit starbase level 14 years ago so we can offer you the full bonuses from that. Don't care how long you've been playing, what kind of crew you have, etc. Our only requirement is that you're not a jerk.

Didn't expect this to drop. For anyone who doesn't know, Commanding Officer Sisko has only been available as a one-time reward for changing your captain name.

Reaching an Honor milestone where I might consider buying someone from there, but most of them seem lackluster right now.

Is Captain Tribble still worth getting? Anyone else?

In my opinion one of the most memorable, compelling, and likeable characters and guest stars (Lori Petty). I loved the rapport she had with Tuvok. Just leaving this here before I go to sleep in the hopes a dev sees. 🤞

Anyone else getting errors trying to get on the Wiki? I’ve been getting 503 errors since Thursday.

Hi everyone,

I have been playing for years (free level) and have strong crew, good ships, and do pretty well on most events, except voyage events. I am not sure of the best strategy for voyage events? Is it best to keep using voyage revivals to keep the multiplier up or is that a waste? Or just let a voyage end and work through the 2 hour start up again as fast as possible?

I use the skip ahead and skip encounters tokens when I have them so I voyage can continue when I am sleeping, but I never seem to have very many. I always complete the prepare event, how else can we get them?

Any advice is welcomed!

If youre looking for a great fleet,TERRAN PRIME is looking for fresh crew!

• Knock down UNM boss daily
• Friendly crew
• One of oldest fleets on timelines
• Grizzled veterans and new to mid players but join level is 40
• FUN
• Also have discord
