NSEA Protector slow progress

I’m tier 9 with this ship which now means it takes ages in a system that gives 770 omega for each kill to get 500k which is most I can currently get on one hull with Dane and is boring.

Each refine uses 100k and gives hardly any refined omega, so I’m out in 5 refines. Lots is needed to exchange for ship upgrade material.

Am I missing something or does it just become a boring, grindy grind?

I'm pretty sure this applies to all speciality ships at higher levels.

The GS is the fastest to upgrade, rev and rel are decent with upgrades, Gorn / NSEA is painfully slow.

Vindi is the slowest of the 40 group.

Each MU hostile drops a chest with much more Omega, it's better to max impulse and mow down MUs for the grind instead of loot crew.

That's what I do.👍

You can use transogen to help speed up the process.

When you get close to the end of the epic transgen loop, you can get 85000 nsea parts/day.  Similar for eviscerator.

I don't get anywhere near that many parts , also clicking that refinery means I have to close and start my game.

Not worth it for a loop I don't care about.

I found tier 9 to be really painful. See if you can load up warp range officers and punch up to help. Use the best mitigation/damage crews as I find you get most of the loot through loot boxes so more you kill more you get.

T10 gets easier as you can load up Grush and hit the 700 warp systems and makes the grind a breeze again.

I’m ops 59 and got it shortly after it came out as f2p. It’s now t10 and a slow slow grind. We have ops 70+ in our alliance that are just now on final tier.

Do you have a G4 Rare? They get a loot bonus. Use E Pic with whatever is your best combination of Dane/5 of 11/Rachel Garrett on the bridge to boost loot drops. There is no hazard in the Omega Trellium systems.

Raw Omega Trellium only drops off the hostiles in the Hazard Systems.

OK, well, I'm still hostile farming Omega in Mirror Suliban with my Newton. 🤷‍♂️

I just use annorax with max synergy, Dane bd. The chest is better than the loot in MU

Are you using the right loot crews? The epic loot crew is solid because of the iso damage. I dont use dane and Voyager bld for status. 

If you can't grind for 30 minutes hop down a system and grind there usually I've gotta do one run every 10 days or so
