In January's State of The Game that myself, UltimatDJz, and Community Manager Eco did for @everyone in the community we learned that only 6% of the hundreds of thousands of active, DAILY, players had a max Vi'dar. With the Borg receiving a massive update last month many of us were under the assumption players had already gone through this process. Apparently we were wrong. So if you're reading this and are level 25 or level 45, let me explain why you need to max your Vidar!
Topics covered:
1. Independent Credits, Faction Credits, and the value of a 3 year old specialty ship
2. Looking at past Scopely patterns of upgrading Star Trek Fleet Command content
3. Value of the Vidar
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

In addition to the Vi'dar having independent credit and faction credit sourcing, it is a great OPC hunter and it has a very decent hold for all that extra loot!

@RevDeuce Год назад

Correct! FANTASTIC specialty ship because it's not a one trick pony! So rare!

Like I said on the stream the other day: The fact that Scopely sees the Vidar as a core part of player progression yet only 6% of players have maxed it means there is a fundamental disconnect between Scopely’s design/communication teams and the players. I have maxed mine, but I didn’t work on it for over a year because there was just too much other stuff to do. And if they are releasing a Vidar A next arc, and it works like the Frank or Feesha, there is going to be basically no player engagement with the arc.

@bobboonstra3484 Год назад

Great update, Rev. I made the mistake of focusing on credits before maxing the Vi'Dar. Very useful to clarify that one should max first and then focus on credits.

@brendanhurley2509 Год назад

Nice to be part of that 6%. I remember how hard the grind was for Vidar but it has been worth it. Those independent and faction credits have been a boon to my game as free to play.

@PommieUsian Год назад

I was kinda stunned that it's only 6% of ADP had a maxed Vidar. I think maxing my Vi'Dar was one of the first things I did once I came back to the game. Get tri-locked and max vi'dar. It's a grind but it's straight forward enough if you have the 3* crystal - that may be the block for many players who focused on their faction ships instead.

@kevinwilliamson7158 Год назад

I had mine maxed by ops 29 because of watching your videos, In fact I had it maxed before having Chen maxed... I bet the percentage has to be a lot higher for viewers of the content creators. It takes a bit to get going to pull a load, but grind has gotten better.

@WorthlessDeadEnd Год назад

Great info! Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to try to max out the Vi'Dar (when I eventually get my OPS to level 25, and can unlock it). 😁👍

@majorsam1400 Год назад

Phewwww, I'm so happy it was never a question in my mind; soon as I got the Vidar I knew I would take it to max ASAP. Need all that refinery possible! BOY am I ever glad now that I did. Thank you to my alliance who told me to get it and max it ASAP, and to Rev Deuce, who did the same! A community that listens and helps others is a community that succeeds.

@kens9573 Год назад

I have 2 accounts and had my Vi’Dar maxed on both of them by the time I hit ops 28, it helped me to skip the 26’s without giving up a good battle ship for my daily stuff, including PvP and armada

@christopherparisho5844 Год назад

I have 2 maxed Vi’Dar’s. I maxed my first one about 9 months ago. About 6 months ago I acquired the skin. My second Vi’Dar was max tiered just before this last months arc began. I used only nanoprobes I acquired via away teams missions. After getting the skin I didn’t go to Borg space or kill any Borg probes, yet I’m sitting on the stock pile of nanoprobes to refine. I only do the small refine every day. I use the charged nanoprobes to acquire faction points and faction credits…and now every couple days solo Armada directives. The main reason why I got a second Vi’Dar is because it is a great ship for OPC hunting, so why hunt with just one? With them I rarely have to mine ISO because I hunt OPC ISO.

@jamesbell7696 Год назад

I LOVE my Vi'dar. I skipped all the lvl 26 ships (until I was in my 30s and built them to scrap) because the Vi'dar was my daily grinder until Sally got up to speed. I still use it regularly for Borg and sometimes when there's an interceptor-specific event and I want the cheapest repair cost. It's a great great ship for a long time.

@Thomas_Roberts Год назад

Even with a Maxed Vi'dar and with the skin, you'll need at least 1 million inert nanoprobes each day to do a full pull for the Borg Solo Armada Directives, 2 pulls from the Faction Credits and with enough to do an Active Nanoprobe pull as well. That's at least 2 trips for me. That's a ridiculous amount of grinding for this. Scopely needs to do something about this loop.

@timstow5156 Год назад

if you have it max'd and with skin then use what Rev showed in the vid... Use the Stonn's and extra cargo under deck... will bring you to the million mark... also it fills pretty quick if you use the exo too

@JimRienheart Год назад

I've got a maxed vidar only because I needed as many credits as possible. Also the outlaw tree has a research that improves independent credit payout for the Borg refinery and the augment faction. I hate grinding the Stella but it was worth getting the Borg independent credit research maxed.

@briansimer8134 Год назад

Maybe wasn't that big a deal at the time, but I maxed out mine a long time ago and built a 2nd. Never meant to max out the 2nd one but to use it for cheap, fast, and expendable attacking. With current updates, now I'm working on tier ups so I can maximize that bonus Vi'dar loot exocomp. BTW, loving the green screen ball cap! Looks like an awful lot of space between the eye brows and top of the noggin. Only joking, of course.

@iangraham4510 Год назад

To back up Rev's message, ideally you need to put off going to 35 (I went from 33 to 35) until you have max Vidar and Frankie ( I had max vidar and t8 frankie and it was painful!). You want those specialty ships done, so you can focus on Frankie-A, mantis and cerritos. I'll say I again, for the benefit of your gameplay, MAX VIDAR AND FRANKIE BEFORE GOING OPS 35. Honestly, if you do that you'll probably think it daft and not see the real value, but if you don't the game will punish you! (My swarm dailies are currently unobtainable, because i don't have Frankie-A)

@chriscarey8336 Год назад

Just shared this with my alliance not sure how many maxed their Vidars. I know I maxed mine ASAP when it first came out. Hopefully if they bring out a new Vidar it wont be a one trick pony like a lot of the other specialty ships.

@NathanielMiller Год назад

6-7 months is extremely optimistic. Most people can't fill their cargo before blowing up, until they get up to at least T7/8. Personally, I couldn't max cargo at T9, even with SNW crew for best loot, until I got the Infinitus skin last month. 9-12 months is more realistic.

@PattyStybel Год назад

How about a update on how to stack the lower deck stats on the vidar

@beng7845 Год назад

I maxed my vidar quite quickly and it's very useful for grinding indy credits and the like.. Its a lot easier to level then other 1-trick ships and can be useful for hunting opc miners without spending much resources on the d3 or saladin

@dameongreen6797 Год назад

Focusing on the Vi’Dar between OP’s 25 and 34 is even more important for newer players. By skipping OPs 28 & 32 ships I was able to reach OP’s 34 and instantly be able to build take a D4 and Enterprise to T4 and get to T6 inside 2 months. Besides slingshotting the epic growth the Vi’Dar is exceptionally affordable when it comes to repair speedups compared to even OP’s 26 ships, to say nothing of 28 and 32 ships, letting you horde during that growth period.

@thomasbranch3826 Год назад

My question is i just maxed my ship at tear 2 but I haven’t leveled up yet because I see in the borg refinery tear 2 charged nano probes. Is it better to grind out a lot of inert probes and build up a big amount of charged probes for upgrading the ship before I bump it up to t3 ? Because normally I’ve see the cost what you need jumps up drastically. Im at lvl 25 and my vidar is maxed tear 2 and I lucked out and got 5 of11 for captain and 1of11 and 7of11.
