How far can you take the Defiant, Voyager, & Talios in STFC? | Exploring the long term paths

Lvl 60 max at the time of this video? Huh.

So level 70 is coming then Rev?

Good video. Talios is super strong when maxed. For me though there are too many ships I "need" to have. Scopely should diversify game paths so you can decide if you want pvp, grinding or armada game. I don't have the time or the brains to keep up with building all these ships along with having fun!

I'm much happier with the Talios now that it's at my level lock. Good at Borg grinding and a capable interceptor. Still working on my Defiant. I don't seem to get as much bang for buck out of that ship as I can punch up the Dolos better with my Valdore, max Ent and max Augur (Ops 45). I think the bigger difference there is with being able to fill more slots below deck.

Thank you for this content. I keep trying to get you to tell me what to do. Then I realized you have been giving me proper content to make my own decisions this whole time. ❤

Talios t12. Defiant and voyager whatever.

Your discord’s needs a channel just to hold those helpful info images.

I would like uc parts to ug the ships that are necessary

The graphs 📈 made it easy to understand

I'm gonna skip the D4 and just wait for the Taliis!

Does it matter how far anyone can take them? I mean heck 2 of the 3 are mostly one trick ponies. While one of them also has a dumb and overly complex loop to upgrade it. So again who cares? Spenders they are the only ones that do. They have excess money to do what they want. Its a pay to play/win game. F2p player are there to pad numbers on the servers

What about Voyager performance in Armadas? Can it be formidable in Armadas at higher tiers/levels?

Need a way to scrap OS Vi'Dar for Talios BPs

I am at ops 46 and have K'Tinga at t7 Kelvin at t6 and Korinat at t5. Specialty ships i am working on are the defiant and Talios. Grinding for Voyager and Titan A. Both the Kelvin and Korinar are recent additions.

Speaking of the Cerritos... Why did scopely Nerf its time? It's not nearly as valuable as it was for armada's... Because you can't overlap them as much.

Didn't you advise players to not take the Taleos past tier 6😮

Thx Rev

"You should be done with the Stella loop as you're getting into the 40s"

Stares at my M72 Stella at ops 42 😂

Guess titan and Cerritos are 💩💩💩

It's the Talios.😅i love the Talios.it's dowing a good job at the game to me.

The thumbnail confused me, younger no beard Rev made me think this was an older video.

talios is best overall ship in the game. ultimate opc hunter, punches up insanely high in PVP, and even without buying packs to upgrade, can be taken decently high freely

Talios. It scales correctly.

I like videos like this. I only built 1 42 uc ship and took to t4 because of defiant and tallios. I already have built pilum took to t4, now working on getting rep up to build kori next. Will eventually take both to t7 before leaving 40s.

when you have been playing the game for 4 years (almost). Then you have already obtained all the predecessor of ships. Am OPS 45, have maxout ships, Sally, Mayflower, Gladius, Enterprise, Augur, Intrepid, tier 7 Kelvin and Val'dore. Many special ships have come out from the past 1.5 years. I often get to hear, why did you make so many ships.. you can't see what Scopely releases in the future, in a year's time Scopely will release a new special ship, which will make all existing ones obsolete.. For players who play for a long time, the first question will be, do you still have to invest in it yes or no. The Talios and Defiant yes, I don't know all the others

Hi Rev... not related to this video ... what is going on with the capital systems .... they got nerfed big time ... any word from scooply ?

Tier 11 Talios here. It's incredibly versatile - I use it for mantis grind, Borg grind, voyager grind in token space and opc hunting. Warp range is amazing. And... You get wild amounts of faction credits, Indy credits and rep via the refinery. The only downside I see is how can I get parts for my second Talios!!!

Is Talios free to get? I maxed my Vidar weeks ago, but have yet to see any missions/dailies for it...

Awesome video! Did I miss your answer to the question: can defiant replace a D4?

So what what the tier per level for faction ships this is based on? Like you say a maxed g3 epic at 34 sets the comparison off, but there's no way to tell in this plot what it tier is expected per ops. Also keep in mind the faction specific research for example which can tip the scales even more.

My guess: Talios!!! Just way too many important things in the refinery. Plus it's Bad-A itself.

shields don't hold the same cache as dpr.

The Talios does have that extra large cargo hold which is super sweet for miner attacks. It's also quite quick to level, as I'm almost maxed to LVL 46 not long after its introduction. However, the Bajoran loop is undoubtedly the best in the game so leveling your Defiant will come naturally from engaging with that. Voyager's loop seems to be closed, though I haven't studied it properly, and looks like a lot more work. It's also 6 months or more behind the other two, so will be difficult to advance quickly. These ships may well end up being alternatives for level 42 uncommon G4 ships for some lower level players, but the level 46 rares have fantastic ship abilities which make them very difficult to ignore.

I'm having problems with a old mission fading obscurities it's still locked for years can you help

Why wasn’t the titan considered?

What happened to Cerritos grinding on Wednesday? I’m two weeks away form collecting all bp’s. Thanks 🖖🏾

I know Talios is better but I really love my Defiant. =) But I know the answer is probably Talios.

Talios is a great ship, mine is now t9 and has meant that I didn’t need to bother with a 2nd 46 ship for solos

Of course voyager is exactly what this video said. It's been held hostage by a missle and almost always gets a warp core breach when it Flies into a pebble with shields up. Lol

Give it another year, greater ships will be released. Scopely is doing an outstanding job ... of figuring out how to get your money, and LOTs of it.

Why are the higher level defiance and Telios at so high in power is it research or is it tier ??

Voyager's ability to let Ops 39-45 players range out to play in armadas with the 46+ players is a HUGE bonus for alliances with a few whales and dolphins.

Interesting to see how strategy changes over time. Solo Armadas forced us into a situation where we NEEDED 2 ships of the appropriate level, but now, since the Defiant, Talios and Voyager have been released, we can get by much easier with 1.

So I have defiant @ t8 16.5 mil power, with a 210 warp range. Can do all types of armadas, hunt hosiles( 51's both traders and combat ships), as well as solos, both borg and jems. Find it cheaper and a machine guns with a the right crew. Sisko, miles and Lorca.

Talios

In doing PvP I have noticed that a lot of players pick officers poorly so being underpower might be irrelevant.

Im still a low 30 level player , working ln my Vidar for the moment, but when its fully upgraded at levl 35, then i have my thalios.

My alliance leadership recommends the Talios over the Defiant. Problem is for an almost free to play player like me it is easier to upgrade the Defiant. The Talios takes Borg research credits which blocks getting Faction Points. Faction points are crucial with FTP. Defiant upgrades take a bit from Bajoran faction research but only slows that down a bit.

how about the cerritos whats it max power?
