Ground Combat Tips for Random ELITE TFOs | Star Trek Online 

Whoops, my bad.

@@Stu1701 BOTH are time travel stories, but one is past (since Temporal Recruits are TOS Starfleet), and Delta Recruits... are actually mentored by your future self.

Yeah, any Covert Assault Drone build is weapon heavy... and STU kinda avoided any sort of weapon heavy build.

Honestly, ground combat really isn't that hard. You just have to know what you're doing. It really depends on which career your captain is as to what you should use. Engineers are the king of ground but they kinda suck in space. Tactical is the king of space but very squishy on ground. Science is good at both but not the best at either.

Yeah, there's nothing in the game that really tells you what kit frames are really good for. They don't have any click abilities (well, some of the newer ones do), but there are a ton of them and they all have unique stats and passives, which, again, the game doesn't do much to tell you what any of those do. Probably because of how drastically kits have changes over the years since the game's launch. It's understandable to not understand much about them. Red Angel armor is a decent, easy option if you have it unlocked from the event. Especially if you're setting up a new character. But the set up I've got here is better for damage output while still being just as good for survival. Plus there's not EV suit for the Red Angel suit, which is weird, given how we literally saw Burnham fly through space (and time) wearing it.

Cheapest fleet frame with KPerfx2 is the Romulan Embassy frame.... yes the Mk X one. gives you a few extra chances to upgrade quality too.

Combining Fresh From R&R, two seats of Pilot team, and Synthetic Good Fortune is a trick is use on Pilot ships to build up stacks of crit chance buffs.

I have a whole playlist of theme builds. In fact, of the four builds playlists on my channel, the Theme Builds one is by far the largest. ru-vid.com/group/PLdqa1QrHe79hq1KB7lVwv5BoKVwCTygu2&si=kcOD-_NB2il2fH5i The ground builds are largely theme focused, too. Wanna rock all pulse phasers? Take any of my phaser builds, adapt it to the Connie and use Pulse Phasers instead of whatever I used. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3CnZldTklg4.htmlsi=P7vi9Lk1WQ-vwkRD All Disruptors? Did that on the Hysperian Battlecruiser. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lc2OZ2Fh3Dg.htmlsi=axr68zvWH9QnuWdp The reason I get so tired of people telling me they don't care about the meta is because, to me, understanding the game's meta is understanding how the game works. People saying they don't care about the meta is them saying they don't care about learning how and why the game works. That's really frustrating to me because a large part of what I'm trying to do with this channel, teach people how the game works. You don't have to strictly follow the meta, but understanding how it works is key to understanding how put together a build. Ship of the Line is part of the meta because of its impressive Crit Severity buffs, even if you don't have that trait, knowing that, you can find a a less expensive alternative that does something similar, like Improved Critical Systems or Super Charged Weapons. Or focus on a different stat that's also important to the meta, like haste or bonus damage.

@@Stu1701 neat!

The random TFO system doesn't just pair you with other players queued for randoms, but also in specific TFOs. So if 2 people are queued for Infected Space Elite, it can take 3 players in the random elite queue and pair them with those 2 players trying to play ISE. So when a specific TFO is the Universal Endeavor, a lot of players will queue for it, and if there aren't enough players queued for a full team at the time, the system will drag in players queued for randoms.

Oh, the Kuumaarke Visionary set is fantastic for ground. I just didn't bring it up because its event gear, so not everyone will have it. But yeah, if you have it, it's a very powerful set.

I don't think it's been officially announced yet, but it should be later this month or early March, along with the Anniversary event.

I didn't know about Mudd's time device at all, I was using the Red Angel suit to revive myself, good to know I can cheat death for cheap

It should come with the start of the anniversary. Which begins on March 12th.

Jump between advence and elite on ground is smaller then in space. My character with rep/mission reword gear can hold there own. My engineer have CQC Nakul shield plus gun, romulan kit from uneasy alies. 2 kit modules from events (Sompek lightning and crystal granade) turret from ambasady, mine barrier, ambush turrets,equipment diagnostic with proper doff,disco rifle from episode and this is only thing upgraded to MK XV very rare. If you dont run into enemies but keep distance you can do elite tfos. Grind few critical injuries removal(never buy them on exchange) just in case.

views of the beast! 🤘
