New Players, Old Players, All Players in Star Trek Fleet Command are constantly upgrading something. In fact, @everyone needs to be upgrading 24/7 just to try to keep up in the game! BUT, what should you be researching? Every time we make a research video it seems to become outdated just a few months later, BUT NOT THIS ONE! This video has some good tips/tricks to help you navigate the research boards and look for clues as to what each of them may do!
Topics covered:
1. This is not a comprehensive "research this" list, but, a guide to help you look for important ones!
2. What the little icons mean!
3. Focusing on upgrading researches that affect your ships/officers more than your starbase!
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

Been playing for three years and didn’t notice some of those icons. We appreciate your dutiful efforts at keeping us educated

@rickmarr8784 2 года назад

I notice all those but never knew what some of them meant till now. They need more refinery research like increase efficiency to get more uncommons and rares. The payout currently just pales in the cost of upgrading things, I'm getting 7 each time and I have to pay thousands to upgrade. If it wasn't for events I might be waiting months just to upgrade a single part on a ship or just one building.

@geeemm135 2 года назад

i cant point out how important the ship bartering researches are when it comes to upgrading the ships, especially the 4 star ships like the jellyfish. this makes a ton of difference

@dalecheck2455 2 года назад

Another good video. Research the f as much as you can. Game gets better by it ✌️

@fbknight710 2 года назад

Awhile back I started an excel chart to track my research, next lv level power increase, cost, time, prerequisites and other stuff. It's a pain in the behind to setup but once it gets going, it works great for me. I am able to plan how to finish research events with minimum excess points and what to do next to get to what I needed. I even have a chart for buildings now. For those who like to plan ahead this is a good way to go

@Zoomer-lw4qo 2 года назад

You're right Rev, I've been playing for over 2 and a half years and there are some things in here that I've never noticed like the $ on efficiency research. Also I also don't put much love into the Stella tree and never noticed the part efficiencies there. I'm going to max them and that'll save me a lot of parts on my Valdore I'm getting thoon.

@uhwutroe5734 2 года назад

There are now only 4 primes not paywalled in the game, although g5 materials are beyond your average f2p player at this time, everything else is theoretically grindable. The ungrindable primes are about cloaking and on the away teams research tree.

@1Dshot Год назад

Thanks for explaining this little things like that. That kind of info can help tremendously. Would love to see more on this kind of thing. How to complete missions, or how to go about grinding resources/officer shards, etc. Also, how do you have 3 researches going at once? I only see a slot for an extra that needs to be purchased from the store for $19.99

@RevDeuce Год назад

By purchasing them

@1Dshot Год назад

@@RevDeuce Oh so you can purchase it more than once? Even though it says "2nd builder (permanent)"?

@Glasklar87 2 года назад

Nice video. How can I get the 2nd Alpha Particle for Stella research?

@PlXNIN 2 года назад

I think one of the most crucial researches that all of these videos never mention is the 'iso deflector shield' it is the ONLY research that reduces damage in pvp, so unlike other damage increasing researches where 20% increase actually means something like 0.2% in practice, a 10% damage reduction by iso deflector literally means 10% reduction, so it is a true game changer in pvp combat. And you need iso resin for it, which is not readily accessible by everyone.

@matthewhorton2156 2 года назад

My outlaw is similar don't worry. But slightly further along, not main focus, but top row beta particle is component research annoying me.. But need to get 2nd Stella past the rare bump and max my first, takes way too long constantly doing a lvl 4 Stella.

@niclasangerman4216 2 года назад

Another handy video by Rev. But why at ops41 is Rev research on Frequency Mods Cost Efficiency not even maxed yet, I managed to maxed mine by op33.

@USCTom 2 года назад

I would love a way to have all researches in a sortable list. Such as by least time to complete, lowest resource cost, etc.

@robertosanchezjr9176 2 года назад

I love the video but how about a scrapping guide to help players maximize their cost of improving Ships before scrapping them later for materials. For example I scrap my Stella at Tier 3 level 10 so that I could get Stella particles

@matthewhorton2156 2 года назад

Tc tree working on getting lvl 7 efficiencies atm it's a long prereq route taking time.

@ThumperFly75 Год назад

Please suggest to $copely to add a sortable list of all currently active, incomplete research for each tree...anything that has a green arrow, grey arrow, add a sort by power, timeframe, cost options...the trees are so big now it's nearly impossible to keep track of what you need to research next. we need a research search option now!

@boardjock42 2 года назад

It just takes soo much time and speedups, but worth it.

@davelowry123 2 года назад

I'm hoping that there's a research tree for ALLIANCES. It has three choices, but you can only ever progress down one of them, so that your alliance has a particular flavour and style. It should be funded by the progenitor territory capture resources too.

@justinj369 2 года назад

They need to add Apex Research Medals to the faction store. There isn’t a way to get these other than Apex events which are few and far between these days.

@alvinadorno6105 2 года назад

In the rouge tree you didn’t talk about the choices you need to make and the ways to get the particles to open different trees

1. What is the formula for "improves cost efficiency"? No idea what I'm actually getting. 2. "Explorer Firepower" - critical hits do increased damage up 1%. ONE PERCENT?? Sounds like the lamest increase ever. Seems like even a 20% damage increase is barely noticeable. Am I missing something?

@-Nightmare-64 2 года назад

Scopley just screwed the FTP play in the game by having two Away Mission, missions. They know we have to use speedups in order to complete the mission and now by adding a second one, it forces you to buy speedup packs in order to finish and worst of all it's where you need the tokens to help finish the Arc. By doing this, the free vault is now in jeopardy. Please address this.

The changes result in literally thousands of UC reductions, depending on what we're discussing upgrading? There is a HUGE difference between maxed out efficiency researches and those who have done none at all.
