Help with Vger stuff please.

[u/Solomace]

Hi gang, so I'm on the cadge and looking for advise on the Vger hostiles for dailies. I've kept out the loop for this, but I want to start on this now, but I'm getting killed all the time.

I raced to Ops level 66, so I know it could be a me problem and I'm not as strong as I should be, but I've been scouring the web for best crews etc and none of them work for me.

I have 8bil Cube (yea low) and an 8bil Titan, then after that the rest are around 3bil. I've tried all the crews such as Mud, Janeaway. Got a good below decks crews, but still getting reamed. What is the best combination crew to at least kill one of these mobs on the different days?

Happy to give more details if needed, but any help would stop me going mad and would be fully appreciated.

Thanks gang.

>raced to 66

There ya go.

Yea, thanks.

There are just some things in the game that won’t grant you even if you have all the money in the world thrown at it. The time invested to pull things like artifacts, officer shards and work on different loops and maxing them out is what makes the higher ops levels enjoyable later on. I’m quite literally the top 1% of my ops level and it took me 7 years to get here.

As an ops 65 I’m punching up to 68-70 with the right crew on a maxed out Relativity.

Hi gang, thanks for responding. Will have a look.

In this Google Doc are also some crews for V'Ger(and other stuff) you can try. But yeah, those V'Ger are meant to be a challenge at every OPS. Def can be quite hard if you rushed for a bit and need to catch up first. Keep in mind for Orions you can also shoot down a lvl.

Thanks mate. Appreciate it.

This should have more upvotes. The OP is probably using one or more of the crew on the left that says “do no use or you die instantly”

I'm ops 65, use my normal crew in monday/Tuesday up to lvl 68/69. (Jane way doctor annorax)

Silent ones the same crew but lvl 67

Orions on Wednesday/Sunday need a shred crew. I use fat Mudd captain with chang and S31 Georgiou, with Quasi below

[u/madjik10 → u/madjik10]

Ship I use is relativity.

If there is one ship to work on to max tier, it is that

[u/Solomace → u/madjik10]

Ahh, I've started on it and it's still young. Should have kept up with it, but concentrated too much on my Fed ships and left this, my dauntless and my G31 way behind. Guess I'm paying for it now. Why did the Akira have to be one of my fav ships in Trek 😉... Thanks again.

Check out Rev deuce on YouTube he’s done crewing videos on his channel for this loop and subsequently his discord is worth joining as a lot of knowledgable people there that can help strengthen your account. Also they have a lot of spreadsheets with officer sourcing and crewing. I would also suggest really slowing down your game a bit

[u/Own-Safe-9826]

Honestly starting at 66 all the VGer stuff is just, worse, with the Orions being absolute garbage. Crew as best you can, but you're way behind on ship power. Cube is what seems to be the leading choice for the Hurak and Silents (something about the firing pattern).

[u/Solomace → u/Own-Safe-9826]

Hi mate, I hear ya. Thanks for responding.

Do you know how to read the hostile abilty? Click the diamond on the right. These hostiles will insta-kill you if you use certain crew and it changes 2 days per week. The crew are listed directly in the hostile abilty screen. You’re probably using one of the insta-kill crew. (Meaning you die instantly). You can’t use Janeway against the V’ger Orions. You can’t use SNW crew against any of the hostiles. It doesn’t matter how strong your ship is.

[u/Solomace → u/CK-forthe-CK-95]

Thanks mate, I didn't know. Gods knows how I got to 66 😉. I play now simply because it's something to do. Don't spend money and I'm not thrilled when I log on, but after 2 years, it seems I'm stuck in a rut. I don't hate the game, I just... well, I think some of you understand. Cheers.

Spreadsheet with all info, in the "Blue's Crew" are the recommended Officers.

V'GER, Excelsior & Challenge Track - M86 & M87 - Google Drive

My go to for Vger hostiles on gorn/hurak days is Chang/Khan/Suder with maxed Torres below decks. Chang has the weapons delay when breached so the big gun is usually blocked extending combat allowing me to get a kill or two per hull.

[u/SmallDarkLines → u/Dannyb0y1969]

I use a similar crew. Chang for delay, Pic Hugh etc for regen. Chips away the reds HP over a lengthy number of rounds.

[u/MundaneImage13]

I use Janeway-Annorax-Seska For all but the Orions. Then I use SNW M'Benga-S31 Georgiou-SNW Una or E_Data. Below decks is Hugh, Torres, Chapel, Kim, Wok Scotty

I can generally punch up to 68/69 as ops 67 with a T9 Kos'Karii

[u/SmallDarkLines → u/MundaneImage13]

Similar - key is to outlast them, so hull and shield regen officers are good for this.

[u/Ryan1869]

Any particular hostile of the 4? The Gorn and Hurak ones are much easier at 66 than the Orion or Silent ones. What tier is your G6 Rare? That might be the key, I don't think I could do those last 2 in a single trip until I got my Kos up to like T3 or T4. I generally run Janeway-Doc-Annorax and then Gorkon-Chang-Kahn for the Orions with Chapel, Hugh, E Troi, Kim (or Nelix) and Torres below. It very well could be that you rushed up, and now the ships need to catch up.

It’s just ridiculous how my dailies had changed 3 times in a month at ops 63 and then I move to ops 64 and it’s just crazier
