How To Get Free T6 Ships🖖Star Trek Online 

5:03 Spam patrols. Some patrols can give you over 300k in trash items+ an eventual good item you can sell on the exchange. Make a good AoE build, and kill your enemies fast because the fast you defeat them the higher the chance for items to drop. Spamming patrols a few times a day with my characters I got over a billion EC in a few weeks of grind. Enough to by 3 lobi shps, Boimle's effect to my main-alts.

I used to roll my eyes at the people who complained that they have more ships then they can fly. Then I became one of those people.

Thanks for the guide. Been thinking of returning to the game after an 8 year break. Guide puts the game in a bit more of a positive light than from when I left it.

So I would like point out that buying ships from the exchange is not free due to the credit limit. You need to spend a minimum of 5 dollars to increase your credit limit to a point where you can actually grind enough credits to buy a ship from the exchange.

When you mentioned that I can get a part time job and make more than just by rep grinding my brain exploded, idk y I never considered this option 😂😂😂😂

This channel should be an official go to for STO, especially for newbies.

Klingon recruits can also get a T6 B'Rel class bird of prey as one of the rewards. That can be claimed account wide. So something to keep in mind when the next recruit event comes around.

Another great videos for new players! Great job!

I would also add in that newbies should watch some of the “best ships in c-store” videos before buying a ship. Even if you’re buying only for the looks, there are a lot of different variations of the same ships and some are better than others.

Unless i missed it you left out the phoenix prize packs. You stand a chance of getting a t6 ship there. Maybe not a great one but still better than not having a t6.

i bought my yamato years ago and still use it. i have two great mirror ships too but my main is my dreadnaught. really all you have to do is buy some keys. wait for some good lock boxes and youll get one. it may take a few boxes but i pulled my two mirror ships with 4 or 5 keys. it was 5 or under. thats all i remember. its been years. i just came back to sto and there are newer massive ships now lol.

I used to have a character several years ago which has disappeared. I am playing again now and I really enjoy the game. It's a solid game. It's good enough that I may spend a little real money. Grinding isn't an option for me. Just too much real life stuff. The game hasn't changed much which is a little disappointing. I appreciate the vids. It makes it to where I can focus with what little time I have to play video games. Thank you.

all great points. been plying strong for 2 straight years now, and i have done some of those things. haven't done any dil farming though; seems a bit too much for my taste. so i will spend a combination of money, time and earned resources to acquire new things. for me this is the best way to play. great video

Great vid! Hope this helps alot of the new players.

Personal method I use on console currently, 1 main, 8 farmers, this can be done with no delta,gamma,kdf, or temp toons, takes a little effort to start but worth it, take all you farmers to ds9, this is where we start, head to trader take any haggle for duties and only do the relieve "item" duties if they are blue or purple, next stop security officer for turn over contraband, next stop is sector space, go to your bridge and access your computer for duties, both colonist duties, any tac that give contraband as reward that's under 20hrs the 48hr aren't worth it, ops stage play, med test cybernetic implant, now we head to dil mine only if we have a ticket, if you don't head to fleet dil to get that extra 500. That's duties done, the rest is admiralty (ferengi) for the 30k bonus, and rep if you have marks or you can sell your marks up to you, if your still short head o nimbus as a last resort or run 2 event qs of random qs but if you have been doing this method you are already making over 10dil unrefined a day plus contraband, colonist, prisoners, trader items, doffs, ec. Takes in total about 1hr-1hr 30min for all 9, so not that bad on time, at dil rates on console you make about 200-225z a day roughly 75k dil, which is 1 key plus 100z or save for over 6000z end of month your call, anyway this is tried an true no glitches, no stress, once it's going you can take breaks anytime with no worry, anyway have fun hope it works for you like it did me Flying verne, with everything I ever wanted, to a point ec has pretty much become meaningless to me other then for buying random stuff for sheets and giggles.

Waddup dude , again nice video not that im in need of this information but it helped me understand quite a few things. Atm watching nearly all videos on my laptop so my main pc can just lvl its klingon and other characters xD ty again so much for the simple yet super effective videos brother appreciate you 1love .

i remember getting back in this game (ec cap in past + t5 was max and hard to get... .so i stopped playing) i came back right in event that gave me the Temer T6 account wide.... Still having t5 max in mind as free player that was a nice boost for my entire account, and kept me in the game free ship after free ship ;)

Im a 46 year old gamer and I started about 2 weeks ago. I really wish ida tried the game long before this cause I just hit lvl 40 and I'm realizing I really like it... But like most new players i was pretty lost on everything from how to spec my captain to finding my way around to stuff like the content of this vid - how the hell do I get a GOOD ship? I can tell ya too these vids have helped IMMENSELY to alleviate my moments of noob and for that I appreciate the hell out of ya for making them. Like ya said every dollar counts for most of us so money is not something I can throw without consideration in a game for ships haphazardly. I can probably pick one up in a couple weeks but obviously having the knowledge on all the ways to get one or more T6s is great because who's gonna only need one? Again much appreciated bro and thanks for the info.

Oooo that was a new smooth intro animation!

Not much left in the c-store I want, aside from a couple of Mudd's. I haven't spent real money in months. The contraband market is healthy too. So I'll watch the dil reserves swell. I'll probably save for the Keldon to complete the set for my Delta Cardy. In a few days I'll have the jellyfish ship to play around with too.

The last time I sold on the dilithium exchange it took 9 days for the sale to complete and it is pegged at the 500 dil per Zen mark. Swapping Zen for dil is still instantaneous though.

I have a paid and free account as well. My F2P account exists so I can test builds that have no Zen, no EC cap increase. The only things I have available are the things that I can grind out for free, not counting the DilEx. The biggest issue I have is that some of the fancier Exchange traits are higher than the 15 million EC cap. Even so, all of my F2P builds are viable for Advanced content with zero sweat. I want to second the T6 Reputation Fleet Ship Module method. It does require that you be part of a fleet and the T6 Fleet Ships don't come with a Trait or Console. That said, there are some excellent platforms upon which you can build. Great vid MCStu.

Hey dude great 👍 video. FYI letting people know about the discords that giveaway ships I think would have fit.

15:53 you can also get 1 or 2 ships by doing the faction reputations for the fleet modules and been part of a fleet yes you don’t get the console but it’s still a t6 or two for almost no work just log in and a few clicks in a menu before going off to play the game.

I remember when the Dilithium Exchange was going for 160 dilithium per 1 zen back during Delta Rising in 2015.

Some sites have a sorta charity sale, or something like that, where you can get a bundle, sometimes containing 2 ships, with some other little goodies, for like $10-$20.

Oh yeah I love it when people think you just flat bought your t6, I did the grind! always always do the red alert you get that epic upgrade, someone asked me how I had everything Gold leveled out, just running those red alerts every time they come up!

So basically Cryptek made getting a decent ship for free so mind numbingly long and tedious that it is easier to just give them money that they absolutely do not put back into the game -.-

Also watch out for charity bundles. While not free, sometime they can offer several account wide unlock ships for $10-$20.

Think the amount of Zen they charge is crazy. Especially the legendary ones. And muds market ships. Event ships are on okay but people want the better ships. The only way to get those will be to grind the dil or EC. I tend to do a lot Admiralty as you get both and any marks you get, you change for Dil. More toons more dil. Mor dil mor zen. Buy keys sell keys. More EC. Also 3rd party selling platforms are also amazing.

I want that ship you are flying in the video, that is epic XD

10 years ago I had 5 toons and 4 of them were just to funnel credit and dilithium to my main toon, really need to het another pc, had all epic upgraded gear on kelvin connie

Fantastic Stu thank you 🙏

I got lucky and started playing when there was an event with a t6 ship. The Jarok Alliance carrier. And i know not the best ship but i have been enjoying it.

Stu, alot if the thing you mentioned is for PC. Alot of persons that I know of play on console and so me of these options are not available to console players. It would good to point out what you can get for console. I started playing and invested some IRL Money "not alot" just got 3 ships, key, duty officers and inventory slots. Which can't be transferred to PC if I wanted to switch.

I missed the chance to get the Khitomer alliance battlecruiser. It was a ship I was really looking forward to. Idk if cryptic will put a way to acquire it in the game. It’s been a while since that event has ended. But thanks for the info.

Surprised you didn't mention fleet ships, other than that great video.

So i get this right. The February Event just started? how long do i have time to get this ship then?

you taught how to do galaxy I am now good at it I do it fro different locations to change it out I even can do it with out slipstream

would this work for the kelvin timeline enterprise as well

Mirror Gagarin goes pew pew pew!!!! It's a really good ship

So there are no quest based ships outside events, I am going to spend on the main events 50 to unlock the 2 coupons though.

Honorable mention to the account unlock T6 M'Chla Bird of Prey from KDF recruitment.

I think the T6 coupons are my favourite. But I still don't know which reward I'll pick for the year long event. I'm not doing "free to play" but even then, I have a ton of ships account unlocked...I need to stop collecting so many Federation ships though lol.

Grinding Grinding and more Grinding

I cant afford real world ships so this is valuable info... thanks.

I always get back into this game JUST after they had free stuff available.

I joined the Altaholics on STO, and keep seeing pop ups for "t6 ships acquired by" and wonder what it is. Lvl 54 right now.

I am playing the Wesley Crusher/Terran Event. Any ships on that?

You forgot that Klingon Recruits get a T6 pretty much right off the bat.

I do find it tedious when you get something like a 40-40-40 mission so you open it and it's now a 180-120-80 mission.

at the moment you have to wait ~80 days for dil to zen exchange, with 9,5 mil dil in sell

I mostly am interested in the star fleet from the the voyager era. I forget that is called 😅

You know, I've been playing this game since beta. I love Trek and all things Trek. I love this game so much. It's really starting to press on me the money grabbing the way it's set up. It's not very different than it's always been with ships. It's just starting to weigh on me after all the years. They expect us to pay 30 bucks for a t6 ship 3k zen and zen is 10 dollars for 1k. That's not enough though. Then we need to buy a fleet module for a bunch of ships. That's not enough though. Then we need to buy upgrade tokens to get the most out of all of those ships. We have to buy inventory space. We have to buy bank space for single characters but that's not enough. We need to buy separate account bank space. We need to buy extra character slots. We need to buy gambling keys to get the coolest ships. We have to buy a freaking unlock to be able to hold more energy credits. Oh but we also need to struggle constantly for dilithium. It's a spiral of pay pay pay. I so long for the days when we could at least subscribe monthly for some extra things but even that was taken away and now we can 0ay 200 for a lifetime subscription. It doesn't even include the expensive t6 ships and the double and triple cost 9f upgrading those ships. 500 zen a month for a lifetime sub is annoyingly small. Ok rant over. Thanks for reading my whining and letting me vent. All those complaints being stated ... I'll see you all in game! Lol

Out standing

6:16 I got really confused for a second there as ied just looked at when this video came out. 12:28 ok so that’s were that ship came from, I’m levelling it for its trait on an alt but I couldn’t for life of me remember we’re ied gotten it, I was sure ied not used any zen on it.

These are full of great wisdom, but Be advised that this is for PC ONLY and does not address any console editions. Is there any chance you could clarify this in your tags??

Thanks for making this video. I appreciate what you're doing to help potential new players to stick around and enjoy the game. Totally agree about time having value. Grinding for ZEN puts people on the road to burnout.

Do I need to subscribe to do the events I'm on steam

I've spent thousands on this game the only things i will buy is the Lexington class keeping the odyssey class

another great video explaining things to a newbie like myself me personally I'm no hurry to get the best stuff to get the top most powerful ships whatever even though I'm a newbie I'm taking my time playing the game and enjoying the storyline I know it's an older game but I still like the storyline in the options of doing other things I know for you veterans a lot of stuff has changed and that's why a lot of people have stopped playing it I guess would be my opinion like most games you know Star Wars Galaxy which I played for years when Sony first came out with it then it was dumbed down in my opinion I was a veteran and here comes the newbies and after a month's time not even everybody's running around with Lifesavers in the city no pre-death the point is I understand why the veterans quit cuz things change too much for them when you love a game and have compassion for it and all of a sudden these changes are made and it's not the same but overall just like Star Wars Galaxy I kept playing even though it changed because I played for myself just like this game here I actually enjoy it but I know it's not for everyone but your videos make it a lot easier to play this game and I appreciate that keep up the great work

lol "Winter Event" I had to turn and look at the date this was released and then just looked at it confused for a few seconds :'D

There has already been 3 out 5 event campaigns? wha? I only get the borg resurgence as elegible

I honestly don't care about anything else than the events (don't get me started about Q's Winterwonderland). As a Console player the Campaigns of third party Fall often completely flat. Add to this STO has, as many other games, not enough content to play it as long as the grinds would require. But if i ever change my mind i know where to look for thx for that work. Have a nice day. :)

Can you claim these ship codes on consoles?

Don't forget about endeavors for ec I get about 1 Mill from doing all of them give or take

Yeah it's too bad about the exchange the amount of ships from past events, packs and such is ridiculous. If the cost wasn't so much and many more ships, consoles, etc were reigned in by I guess what is now gearbox in the future it'd go a long way to cause more players to get more involved. But as Spencer stated to me, their making a huge amount of profit and people are continuing to spend the money. Maybe if that changed which it's not going to Spencer made it clear players or sto maybe then changes would come to the exchange. Which is too bad, cause so many ships will remain unattainable due to how much you have to grind to get them. I do have one question Mcstu I never can get a clear answer whether through googling it or asking other players, what the credit cap is for console, I've read two billion, but wanted to be sure hopefully no ships sell for over that amount on there. Anyway enjoy your content keep doing what you do as I've enjoyed your channel!

Part of the reason why people say it's broken is because hundreds of people are selling zen for dilithium but no one is doing the opposite. For the past three weeks I have been trying to sell dilithium to no avail. Nothing even happens.

I can do 20K zen through grind a month if I push it and there isn't a massive backlog of Zen orders just rinse and repeat the Ferengi tour of duty admiralty boost on multiple toons, Running out of things to buy from the Zen store so grinding to do giveaways next xmas.

Is the olympic class starship free ?

Easy events and then grind the bonus for the dil

💙

The raptor was last year 👍.

> "That's not fun for me." My dude that grind is not fun for anyone, lol.

Took me a year for my last 500 exchange dil to zen

I’m playing this game on my Xbox right now all the time how to get a free ship and upgrade

All complaints aside, this shows how fair of a F2P game STO actually is. Of course you have to know what you're doing, but with videos like this, it's not a real problem. Yes, the game itself could do a better job at explaining stuff. I returned after 8y and had absolutely no clue. However that's where you have to cut an old game some slack. It has over the years grown into a content monster. But there are a lot of helpful and friendly players around to get you on track.

A lot of people dont realise getting 300mil ec for a t6 is not actually thst bad. Tour the galaxy is ok but a better way to make a LOT more than 1 mil is to sell your R & D materials and components, you will be surprised when you realise how much some of them sell for. You are always picking up R& D mats and a lot of the time they are just sitting in your inventory, just sell them, you can always get more.

I've never had anyone buy my dil and I've been playing since the beginning.

Getting my jelly fish soon…

Taking a week to exchange dil for zen is definitely broken.

👀

waiting for 8 months now to get it exchanged for zen. still nothing. i would say its broken at that point.

Thanx dto

I was very confused for a sec when u said winter event are u in southern hemisphere

Love the game just think the ships are so expensive, I don't have the time or the money to buy a t6 ship or grind to get one. If they were cheaper I'd buy the ship I want and be done. Shame I didn't have this game when I was younger and had the time to grind.

the problem with purchasing t6 ships on a f2p account is the ec cap of 15 million

dont they have a fri ship in on of the reps?

Fleet K6 through rep go brr

ive seen everything you need to do to get the event ships......it is not even in the same realm as simple.....

mil dps...Im happy to get 50k-95k and thats with everything epic on a T6X. how the heck do you get a mil dps? I know its done just not sure what the build is to achieve that.

If you grind Dil hardcore on 10+ toons for a few months you can amass enough to trade it on the exchange for a few thousand Zen (which currently takes a few weeks to sell), which will buy you between 3 to 4 single ships in the store or one ship bundle, depending on the discount. Only ever buy stuff on discount! Since cryptic have significantly lowered the Dil rewards for the rep system, it is possible to scrape together about 500k Dil per toon with reasonable time investment (ca. 2 months), which nets you 1000 Zen on the exchange. So you'll need to grind 3 toons daily over 2 months simultaneously for one ship on F2P. So it is easily possible to grind out a dozen Zen store ships over a year if you go all out with Dil farming alone. Provided you don't have much of a life that is. Rewards from the year long event campaign plus eventual T6 coupons and event ships can get you another 2 - 6 T6 ships a year. Giveaways can also get you multiple decent ships if you're lucky. So playing STO hardcore for a year and exploiting all possibilities should give you access to all the fancy ships you need or want for free. You only pay for it all with your lifetime. ;)

I play on PC and had DIL on the exchange for 7 months, zero buyers.

My exchange amounts don't ever go through.

Its 8 ships IF you play PC its 5-6 for Console (no giveaway codes for us) but oure Dill Excange is not ( jet) Broken ;P STU, yes I know working as intended but only on ONE side, therefore... it is broken.. ( Hyper inflated as the backlog was what 3,5 mill last time I checked ? )

Yikes, at that rate, it would take you almost 200 days to refine that much dilithium.

Cn you help me?

It's 264 on console

as a free to play player.. no way to get that market idea cause your capped out at 15million :(

2000 buck's and counting on some account's lol i would know
