Independent ships!
All ships mentioned here count as independent ships, even if they originally come from the Federation (ships labled USS) or the Romulans like the Vi'dar and Vi'dar Talios. This means, they do not score in events that expressedly ask to use faction ships. Same is also true for Envoy, Horizon, and many more ships also from FKR faction stores, e.g. Nova und Selkie.

Amalgam

Why? Because in station raids it can scoop enormous amounts of resources per its ship ability.

Short: Exocomp → Plundered Cargo → Amalgam Parts and Amalgam Refinery Tokens → officer shards and Ship Skin Shard Trackers → Ship Skin Shards

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center

1. If on hand, activate exocomp "+9.900 % Amalgam Plundering"
2. With the Amalgam, loot Plundered Cargo from Supply Ships in system clusters beginning at Kus'Rok a nd Rekar
3. Convert the Plundered Cargo in the Amalgam Refinery to
   • Amalgam-Parts for improved ship components
   • Amalgam-Refinery-Tokens
   • Exocomp "+9.900 % Amalgam-Plundering" ("Plunder!")
4. Convert Amalgam-Refinery-Tokens under Recruit and Amalgam Special to
   • Officer shards for Honorguard Worf
   • Ship Skin Shard Trackers
   • Exocomps for reputation farming
5. Convert Ship Skin Shard Trackers in Amalgam Refinery to Ship-Skin-Shards
6. With Ship-Skin-Shards unlock individual skins, for example for ISS Jellyfish, Enterprise, etc.

• More information, data, etc. at 🇬🇧 John W. Siskar and 🇬🇧 Carnac's Guide

Borg Cube

Why? Because the Borg Cube is one of the strongest ships long-term, and enabled good research bonuses.

Short: Cutting Beam → Technological Distinctiveness → Shape Memory Alloy and Advanced Cybernetics

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center and 🇬🇧 Borg Cube Feature Spotlight

1. Destroy hostiles using the Cube's Cutting Beam for Technological Distinctiveness
   • Select 🇬🇧 hostiles with hull strength low enough to destroy with a single beam – especially explorers, scouts or freighters (having less hull than interceptors and battleships)
   • Intially, skirmishers and supply ships are suitable (from Kus'Rok or Rekar, and beyond), then Swarm Clusters, Jem'Hadar (e.g., in Hyra and Tulonra), eventually FKR^[1] hostiles (e.g., in Areal and Garyf)
2. Convert Technological Distinctiveness in the Support refinery to
   • Shape Memory Alloy → material for improved ship components
   • Advanced Cybernetics → material for Ex-Borg research

• With the Binary Cutter skin, the Cutting Beam's maximum charge is doubled, so it can be used twice before it needs recharge. That effectively double the amount of possible hull damage.
• The Cube's Transwarp Coil needs Borg Data Nodes
  • Available tier depends on your progress: the most advanced FKR faction ship
    (see table below; original at startrekfleetcommand.com)
  • Skipping of tiers is possible; missing Transwarp Coils are granted when a higher grade ship reaches its tier requirement. Skipping of the epic G4 ships is especially recommended as they are excessively expensive.
    Specifically: If you are skipping the Enterprise-A, but build a Northcutt later, you will receive two Data Nodes when the Northcutt reaches tier 6 (one for the skipped Enterprise-A, one for the Northcutt). Same, but different: Skip a Valdore by going from Augur to Pilum (Tier 6).
  • Get the Transwarp Coils in the Support Refinery
• All the relevant Borg Cube data points:
  

Botany Bay and Augment

Currently no more relevant. Still, Augment Credits can be converted into officer shards to farm Transporter Patterns.

Short: Corrupted Data and Decoded Data → Plutonium, Independent Credits, officer shards and ship parts

1. Mine data with the Bottany Bay (BB) in Augment space
2. Convert Corrupted Data and Decoded Data in the Augment faction store to
   • Plutonium for improved ship components
   • Independent Credits
   • Officer shards of the Augment Crew
   • Ship parts for Hijacked Legionary, Mayflower and D3 (cannot be scrapped)

Cerritos

Why? Because the 'Ritos can buff other ships significantly, e.g. for group or solo armadas.

Short: Buff ships during events California Class and Second Contact Elite → Ship parts and material

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center

1. On Wednesdays during events California Class and Second Contact Elite, use the Cerritos' ship ability to buff ships
   • Irvinit → Culver Particles and Cerritos Refinery Tokens, see below
2. In the Support Refinery convert Cerritos Refinery Tokens to
   • Cerritos Ship Parts → for improved ship components
   • Culver Particles → more buffing
   • Lower Decks crew officer shards (e.g., Mariner, Tendi, Boimler, Rutherford, Badgey)

• ⚠ Reaching tier 5 with the Cerritos, a second weekly event will be unlocked: Second Contact Elite, that yields Tritanium, Dilithium, G4 Gas/Ore and Explorer Ship Parts
• Reaching tier 12 with the Cerritos, the Second Contact Elite event will also yield Rare Culver Particles that can unlock prime research nodes for the ship in Starships research
• ⚠ The buff's strength depends on the target's progress in Cerritos research, not the buffing player's

Defiant (vs Jem'Hadar)

Why? Because the Bajorans offer strong Favors and the Defiant multiplies looted Solo Armada Edicts

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center

Short: Jem'Hadar hostiles → Antimatter Units → Bajoran Badges → Bajoran Credits → Dominion Solo Armadas → Armada Credits and Edicts → Bajoran Favors, Superconductors, material, officer shards

1. Destroy Jem'Hadar hostiles in Dominion space for Antimatter Units (Systems from Rakan, Warp 33)
2. In the Bajoran faction store convert
   • Antimatter Units to Bajoran Badges (Hostile Exchange)
   • Bajoran Badges to
     • Bajoran Credits (Credit Exchange)
     • Faction reputation (Reputation Advancement)
     • Solo Armada Directives (Directive Exchange)
   • Bajoranische Credits to
     • Ablative Armor Parts → for improved uncommon ship components
     • Bajoran Favors → many strong bonuses (unlocking counts towards daily research goals)
     • Material, i.e. gas/crystal/ore (Material Credit Claim)
     • Subspace Transceivers → for Starships research
     • Automated Defense Shards and Orb Splinters for survey ships (Antares, Valkis, K'Vort, Hydra, Vorta Vor, B'Chor)
     • G4/G5 Dominion Transwarp Cells (G4/G5 Travel Token) for
       • G4 material in systems Callinon, Parada and Koteli (Warp 75)
       • G5 material in systems Hox, Aszunso and Idraan (Warp 240)
3. Destroy solo armadas in Dominion space for Armada Credits and Armada Edicts
4. In the Bajoran faction store convert
   • Armada Credits and Armada Edicts to
     • Diplomacy Tokens
     • Bajoran Credits
     • Solo Armada Directives
     • Ship parts and Deep Space Nine crew officer shards
     • Material, Trait XP, Assembly Credit Medals for Starbase research, etc.
   • Diplomacy Tokens to
     • Bajoran Favors → many strong bonuses (unlocking counts towards daily research goals)
     • Plasma Conduits → for improved rare ship components
     • Subspace Superconductors → for alliance Starbase progress → needed for Starbase research
     • Material, i.e. gas/crystal/ore (Material Token Claim)

• To tier up the Defiant's Impulse Engines Isolinear Optical Chips are required that are bound to Operations level:

  Impulse Engines Tier	Operations level
  1	35
  2	36
  3	38
  4	40
  5	42
  6	44
  7	46
  8	48
  9	50
  10	51
  11	53
  12	55

• More information, data, etc. at 🇬🇧 John W. Siskar

Discovery

Why? Because the Disco can summon other ships to its location without additional travel time.

Short: Destroy hostiles / use Spore Drive or summon ships → Spore Drive Components and Discovery crew officer shards

1. Complete weekly event Anomalous Phenomena for Discovery Refinery Tokens and Cultivated Mycelium
   • Destroy hostiles in Izanami, Cada-X, Risette, Babishta, Tenzen-1029
   • or use Spore Drive
   • or summon ships
2. Convert Discovery Refiney Token in the Support Refinery to
   • Discovery-Recruit-Tokens → turn in at Recruit for Discovery crew officer shards
   • Spore Drive Components → for improved ship components
3. Progess in Starships research to unlock USS Discovery Summoning

• Manual mining of Mycel and refining it in Support refinery isn't necessary usually

D'Vor and D'Vor Feesha

Why? Because Latinum is a very flexible resource; the weekly Latinum event provides Quark officer shards, and the monthly one special currencies.

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center

Short: Raw Latinum and Concentrated Latinum → Latinum

1. Mine Raw Latinum with D'Vor and Concentrated Latinum with D'Vor Feesha (see Feesha Glass note below)
2. Convert Raw Latinum and Concentrated Latinum in the Latinum refinery to
   • Latinum → that can substitue
     • FKR faction credits and Independent Credits
     • Resources (Parsteel, Tritanium and Dilithium)
     • Raw and common material (gray), i.e. gas/crystal/ore
     • Ship XP
     • Officer XP
     • or accelerate construction, research, repair
   • D'Vor Parts → for improved ship components
   • D'Vor Feesha Parts → for improved ship components

• With the Feesha Glass ship skin, the D'Vor Feesha also can mine Raw Latinum efficiently
• A D'Vor can be scrapped for D'Vor Advanced Data Cores. Scrapping on max level yields enough cores to obtain all blueprints required to build a D'Vor Feesha. Convert cores in the Latinum refinery to ship blueprints.

Enterprise NX-01 (vs Xindi-Aquatics)

Why? The Enterprise NX-01 is strong against Xindi hostiles, and can reveal deep space systems for a short time. And more Ex-Borg Credits.

Short: Delphic Expanse → Xindi-Aquatics → Tech Modules → Opportunity Chips → Ex-Borg Credits

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center, 🇬🇧 NX-01 Feature Spotlight, 🇬🇧 M63 Patch Notes, and this infographic:

1. In the Enterprise NX-01 refinery, convert Xindi Scraps to Delphic Expanse Tokens; see Ex-Borg (vs Xindi-Reptilians)
2. With the Enterprise NX-01, fly into the Delphic Expanse using Delphic Expanse Travel Tokens
3. Defeat Xindi Aquatic hostiles for Tech Modules
   • Xindi-Aquatic Cruiser which are easy but drop fewer Tech Modules
   • Xindi-Aquatic Enhanced Cruiser that are much harder but drop about 10x the Tech Modules over regular cruisers
4. In the Enterprise NX-01 refinery convert Tech Modules to
   • Opportunity Chips, to convert to Ex-Borg Credits
   • Ceramic Composite for upgraded components of the the NX-01
   • Buy NX-01 Picard Refit shards (see below)
   • PIC Hugh officer shards
5. Use Ex-Borg faction credits to
   • Buy NX-01 blueprints

The Enterprise NX-01

• is a neutral ship, available from Operations level 40 (i.e., any research related to Federation ships won't affect it)
• blueprints can be obtained daily (1-2) through the Ex-Borg faction store
• is upgraded by spending Ex-Borg Credits and Ceramic Composite
• is the only way to source PIC Hugh officer shards
• unlocks new Ex-Borg favors in their faction store
• has a Picard refit enabling a stat boost and a free daily claim bundle: Zweites Delphic Expanse Travel Token, parsteel, tritanium and dilithium
• has a ship ability Long Road Ahead that can reveal a system's FOW¹ for a short period, given you've been there at least once before.
  • Each use consumes 1.000 NX-Isolinear Arrays
  • Each day 1.000 Arrays can be redeemed from ship resources gifts

¹ FOW = Fog of War, gaming terminology for areas that cannot be looked at freely by players

Ex-Borg (vs Xindi-Reptilians)

Why? Very strong Ex-Borg research and favors from the Enterprise series arc, as well as many conersion options in the faction store.

Short: Xindi-Reptilian Warpships → Xindi-Scraps and Xindi-Bounty → Ex-Borg Credits → Exchanges and Favors in Ex-Borg faction store

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center and this infographic:

1. In the Ex-Borg faction store, buy the Particle Beam Delay favor with Ex-Borg Credits
2. Fly into the Delphic Expanse (systems from Selethal, Warp 50) and
   • destroy Xindi-Reptilian Warpships for Xindi-Scraps
   • destroy Wanted Xindi-Reptilian Warships for roughly ten-times the Xindi Scraps, and Xindi Bounty
3. In the Ex-Borg faction store, convert
   • Xindi Scraps and Xindi Bounty to Ex-Borg faction reputation and credits (common, uncommon, rare and epic)
   • Ex-Borg Credits to Ex-Borg Favors
   • Uncommon Ex-Borg Credits to material, ship parts, Ship Ability Fuel
     (Tetryons, Irvinite, Ablative Amplifiers, Cultivated Mycelium)
   • Rare Ex-Borg Credits to artifact and officer shards, raw materials for special ships
     (Voyager, Feesha, Monaveen, Stella, Mantis, Botany Bay, Defiant, Meridian, Talios)
   • Epic Ex-Borg Credits for Forbidden Technology, skins, G4/G5/G6 Mega Chests
   • Ex-Borg Credits of higher rarities can be converted into lower rarity ones (Tradedown); if you urgently need common credits but only have uncommon, rare etc.

• From Ops level 40 and 22.500 Ex-Borg faction reputation
• Xindi-Reptilian Warships have three abilities
  • Xindi Weaponry, a particle beam that deals lethal damage at the end of each round – countered only by Ex-Borg Favor Particle Beam Delay
  • Blade's Tip, allowing them to bypass our shields entirely so all damage goes to ship hull directly – countered by Ex-Borg Favor Emergency Protocol and Combat-Research Immortal Shield Mitigation Reduction
  • Doomed Species, reducing our critical hit damage (e.g., by 500 %) – countered by Ex-Borg Favor Critical Floor
• The Ex-Borg Favor Particle Beam Delay delays the Xindi's lethal Particle Beam. You need to destroy the hostile within (n+1) rounds, n being the number of rounds delayed by the Favor's current level
• The Ex-Borg Favor Critical Floor prevents your own critical hit chance to fall below the herein specified threshold. Besides Xindi hostiles, that's also very relevant in PvP, for example versus Kira Nerys or Trip Tucker
• The Ex-Borg Favors (PvE) Emergency Protocol and PvP Mending (each separate for the three ship types) repair a portion of hull damage caused in the prevous combat round
  • The Emergency Protocol for Explorers requires Morale on the own ship (e.g., from Harry Kim)
  • The Emergency Protocol for Interceptors requires Hull Breach on the hostile ship (e.g., from B'Elanna Torres)
  • The Emergency Protocol for Battleships requires Burning on the hostile ship (e.g., from Neelix)
• The Ex-Borg Favors Choice Material Construction and Choice Resource Construction significantly reduce the resources and materials needed for station buildings

Franklin und Franklin-A (vs Swarm)

Why? Because the weekly Swarm Sunday yields Khan officer shards.

Short: Swarm Clusters → Frequency Modulators → Swarm Biominerals and Swarm Adv Biotics → Resources (Parsteel, Tritanium, Dilithium)

1. Destroy Swarm Clusters with the Franklin or Franklin-A for
   • Frequency Modulators → for improved ship components
   • Daily tasks for Swarm Biominerals and Swarm Adv. Biotics
2. Convert in Resources refinery
   • Swarm Biominerals → Parsteel, Tritanium und Dilithium
   • Swarm Adv Biotics → much more Parsteel, Tritanium und Dilithium
   • Frequency Modulators (for Franklin) to Frequency Modulators Mk. II (for Franklin-A)

• A USS Franklin can be scrapped for Franklin Adv Data Core. Scrapping on max level yields enough cores to obtain all blueprints required to build a Franklin-A. Convert cores in the Resources refinery to ship blueprints.

Gorn Eviscerator (vs Gorn)

Why? Summon ships through Spatial Rips, and rewards in officers shards (SNW and others), artifact and Cephalocasque FT shards.

Short: Gorn Hunters → Volatile Isomatter and Apex Isomatter → Isomatter refinery

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center, 🇬🇧 M66 Patch Notes, 🇬🇧 Scopely blog article and this infographic:

1. Destroy Gorn Hunters for Volatile Isomatter and Apex Isomatter
   (using the Gorn Eviscerator multiplies Apex Isomatter loot)
2. Convert in Isomatter refinery
   • Volatile Isomatter → Officer shards, Artifact fragments and resources
   • Apex Isomatter into
     • Cephalocasque Forbidden Tech shards
     • Gorn Eviscerator Parts → improved Gorn Eviscerator components
     • Apex Ship Parts → Ship Parts (G4 from Eviscerator T1, and G5 from T7+)
     • Apex Recruits → SNW Officer shards (M'Benga, Chapel, Sam Kirk, James Kirk, Pelia)
     • Axion Plasma → open spatial rips (Gorn Eviscerator ship ability)

• Gorn Hunter can be destroyed from isolytic damage only → stfc.space links to isolytic damage:
  Research, Crew, Artifacts, Gorn Eviscerator, Forbidden Technologies, Fleet Commanders
• Spatial Rips of the Gorn Eviscerator
  • are an active ability that allows Commanders to create a temporary one-way portal to their current system. This enables alliance members to instantly join them. When the portal is activated, an automatic message is sent to the alliance chat. To use the portal, allies need to access the System Viewer of the system where the Rip was created and insta-warp through it
  • can be used only by a limited amount of ships (not players) and in limited time
  • are restricted to any system within the players grade and below.
    For example, a player in G5 (Ops 51-60) will be able to travel to any system that is below level 61
  • higher tiers of the Eviscerator improve Spatial Rips in amount of ships and time
  • Opening a rip costs 5.000 Axion Plasma, using it with another ship costs that user 250 Axion Plasma

Mantis (vs Actian)

Why? Because the Mantis refinery yields Syndicate XP and SNW crew officer shards. Also, in PvP the Mantis is a sharp tool to debuff opponents and prevent them from going to warp.

Short: Actian Chrysalis or Apexes → Actian Venom → Synthetic Nitrium and Ion, plus Syndicate XP and Hull Fragments → Strange New Worlds crew officer shards

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center

1. Fly into Actian space with the Mantis or another very strong ship
   • Systems beyond Donscheel; from Warp 45 (Azuras, Level 33)
   • Travel costs 1 Ancient Beacon
   • Common alternative ships are
     • Vi'dar Talios (huge cargo capacity, see Crews)
     • Pilum (ship ability to increase hostile loot)
     • in principle many G4 and all G5+ ships – mind cargo capacity
     • ⚠ as soon as you can use alternative ships, the Mantis specific Starships research becomes obsolete – thus, the Actian Venom invested into research
2. Only for Mantis: Acquire buffs
   • Destroy one each of the Actian Chrysalis having following icons behind their name
     1. % – increases critical hit chance by 100 %
     2. △ – increases critical damage by 50 %
     3. 🔥 – increases number of shots by 100 %
3. Destroy Actian Apexe with a buffed Mantis or alternative ships for Actian Venom
   • As traveling costs tokens, goal is maximising loot per token/hull
   • When ships become powerful enough you can switch over crews from hostile to cargo specialisation
4. Convert Actian Venom in the Mantis refinery to
   • Synthetic Nitrium for improved ship components
   • Synthetic Ion für Starships research (mind above note on research obsolescence)
   • XP for the Orion Syndicate
   • Condensed Venom for the Mantis' Sting ability, weakening opponent ships and preventing them from going to warp
   • Hull Fragments → convert to Strange New Worlds crew officer shards, or Transporter Patterns respectively
5. Daily Task: Debuff 2 or 4 player ships for Hull Fragments

Mirror Universe (vs Terran Empire)

Why? Apex Barrier game mechanic and other very powerful upgrades through MU research tree.

Short: Destroy hostiles or mine resources in the MU

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center and 🇬🇧 M67 Patch Notes

1. Receive 900 free MU Entry Vouchers every 3 days (and more from the store)
2. Travel to the Mirror Universe (located below Klingon space)
   • Entry Rifts are in Mirror Alpha Centauri, Mirror Wolf or Mirror Sirius
   • Entry cost is 300 MU Entry Vouchers, lasts 20 minutes (using a Extract Rift doesn't cost vouchers)
   • Further down systems require the right rarity-specific Mirror Rift Keys from the MU refinery:
     • Common, 100 per travel
     • Uncommon, 100 per travel
     • Premium (which can bypass systems), 40 per travel
3. Source Raw Trellium-A and Raw Trellium-D:
   • Destroy hostiles in the MU
   • Mine from MU nodes
4. Source rare Trellium from special targets (no info on those yet)
5. Get out of the MU by letting the counter expire, or using an Extract Rift → list of systems
6. Refine in the MU refinery:
   • Raw Trellium-A → Liquid Trellium-D, Common and Rare Mirror Dust
   • Raw Trellium-D → Liquid Trellium-D, Uncommon and Epic Mirror Dust
   • and Liquid Trellium-D into
     • Holodeck Field Amplifiers → upgrade Holodeck
     • Basic resources (Parsteel, Tritanium, Dilithium, and their Σ pendants)
     • Forbidden Technology improvement material
     • NX-01 officer shards
     • MU Vouchers and Rift keys → travel the MU
     • Mirror Dust → unlock nodes in the MU research tree

• There is NO protected cargo, neither in PvE or PvP → ship destroyed = cargo lost,
  i.e., to bring back resources you must use an Extract Rift or let the counter expire
• Again, travel to, through, and out of the MU systems only by using Interphasic Rifts, being destroyed or letting the counter expire
• Advancing to deeper systems does not reset the counter
• Premium resources are currently exclusive to events in-game and the store
• Warping and summoning ship abilities of Discovery, Gorn Eviscerator or Borg Cube will not work
• The Mirror Universe can be accessed from Ops level 40

Monaveen (vs Texas class)

Why? Because the Monaveen refinery yields enormous amounts of resources (Parsteel, Tritanium und Dilithium), plus very strong Starships research.

Short: Destroy Texas Class hostiles → Net Chips → Ressources and solo armadas → Material

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Website, 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center and this infographic:

⚠ Yield of the Monaveen refinery depends on the Monaveen's tier and the Operations level. It can be useful to wait a bit with refining, so to obtain more later.

1. Fly into Texas-class systems (from Maelruan, Warp 40) with the Monaveen
2. Destroy Texas-class hostiles for Neuronal Net Chips
   • manual: Like usual, click on the hostile and attack
   • deactivates your station shield!
3. Destroy Texas-class Sentry for Active Net Chips
   • automatic: these hunters appear when entering the system, and will attack until the ship is destroyed
   • passive farming of Active Net Chips is possible this way, e.g. over night (does not deactivate the station shield)
4. In the Monaveen refinery convert
   • Neuronal Net Chips to
     • Monaveen Ship Parts for improved ship components
     • Queen's Favor → convert to Parsteel, Tritanium or Dilithium
     • Regal Geodes for Starships research
   • Active Net Chips to
     • Queen's Favor → convert to Parsteel, Tritanium or Dilithium
     • Regal Geodes for Starships research
     • Shipyard Directives for solo armadas
5. Start Automated Shipyard solo armadas using Shipyard Directives for
   • Shipyard Credits → convert to G4/G5 gas/crystal/ore (uncommon, rare, epic)

• More information, data, etc. at 🇬🇧 John W. Siskar
  for example how many resources you get per Monaveen tier and Operations level…

Q's Trials and Forbidden Technology

Why? Because Forbidden Technology is very powerful.

Short: Spend Trial Bells → Destroy hostile, or not → Forbidden Technology refinery → Upgrade Forbidden Technology and Court of Q

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center this infographic:

• ⚠ There is no additional reward for completing all of Q's trials. The individual rewards for completed steps are all there is.
• Progressing in Q's trials increases Q's Favor, which is decisive to increase chances when upgrading Forbbiden Technology.
• Failed upgrade attempts increase Q's Benevolence, which increase subsequent upgrade chances to a minor degree.

1. Claim daily gift: Trial Bells
2. Complete daily task: Spend 75 or 125 Trial Bells by starting 3 or 5 of Q's trials (hostile does not need to be destroyed; previously completed tests can be restarted) for Emblems of Assessment and FT Refinery Credits
3. Destroy hostile in less than 15 minutes for FT Protomatter and rewards for achieving milestones in Q's trials
   • Seals of Approval for more difficult tests
   • Forbidden Fragments
   • Emblems of Assessment
   • FT Fusion Rods
   • FT Reactors
   • Trial Bells
4. In Forbidden Tech refinery convert
   • FT Refinery Credits to
     • FT Fusion Rods
     • FT Tier-Up Catalyst
     • Mantis Reward: Synthetic Nitrium, Ion and Hull Fragments (requires Breen Energy Dampener)
   • FT Protomatter to Emblems of Assessment
   • FT Fragmente to FT Shards (common, uncommon, rare and epic)
   • Concentrated Latinum to FT Fragments (requires Ferengi Energy Whip)

• Upgrade Forbidden Technology using FT Reactors and FT Tier-Up Catalysts
• Equip and remove Forbidden Technology using FT Fusion Rods

Silent Enemies

Why? Temporal Disruptor Parts.

Short: Destroy Silent Enemies → Temporal Disruptor Parts → Temporal Disruptors → Temporal Artifact shards

1. Look up which grade of Temporal Disruptor Parts you can currently exchange:
   • depends on your Ops level, i.e. you cannot redeem too low or too high grades of shards
   • in the Gifts Artifacts section, the Exchange cover tile will tell you directly
     For example, at Ops levels 61-62: "6⭐ Uncommon Temporal Exchange"
2. Destroy Silent Enemies that drop the correct grade of shards for you
   • 4⭐ Uncommon → Aethera Nova
   • 4⭐ Rare → Orinthus Prime
   • 5⭐ Uncommon → Valtara Minor
   • 5⭐ Rare → Lyrae Nebula, Sylphira Delta
   • 6⭐ Uncommon → Aquinelan Star
   • 6⭐ Rare → Korolios Void, Zephyrion Axis
3. In the Gifts Artifacts section, exchange Temporal Disruptor Parts into
   • Temporal Disruptors → level up Temporal Artifacts
   • Ship Parts → improved ship components
   • Prime Orbit Medallions → unlock Prime researches

Stella and Rogue (vs Eclipse)

Why? Currently only perihperally relevant, but the Outlaws offer some good research bonuses.

Short: Eclipse Security Codes → Eclipse Armada Directives → Exchange Loot → Uranium → Stella Particles → Stella Bonus → Ship Parts and material

1. Destroy Exchange Transports in Exchange Space for Eclipse Security Code (Systems from Exchange Central and beyond)
2. Convert Exchange Security Codes and Decoded Data in the Rogue faction store to
   • Eclipse Armada Directives
   • Rogue Credits
   • Rogue reputation (maximum at 30 M)
   • Outlaw Warp Tokens (store name; look for Rogue Transwarp Cell in inventory) for G3 material systems (Mitchum, Van Cleef, Doniphon)
3. Destroy Eclipse Armadas for Exchange Vault Loot → convert in Rogue faction store to Uranium (uncommon, rare and epic)
4. Upgrade the Stella with Uranium, and then scrap it. The right time for scrapping depends on your progress in Outlaw research: It boosts the Stella, so it can defeat stronger armadas, yielding more loot and, such, Uranium. Initially you can scrap some Stellas at level 10, then at level 25. Eventually you'll only scrap it at level 45.). Scrapping yields
   • Stella Particles for Outlaw research (160 total levels over all research nodes; the number of unlocked levels is called M-Score, and is capped at M160)
   • Stella Hull Scan → convert to 100 Stella blueprints to build a new Stella
5. In the Rogue faction store buy with Rogue Credits
   • Mudd's Company crew officer shards
   • Outlaw Research Credits
   • Missions (their rewards are not worthwile though – unless you are interested in the story)

• Further options in the Rogue faction store are to
  • convert Stella Particles to Stella Bonus and gas/crystal/ore
  • convert Stella Bonus to G4 ship parts
• Achieving milestones in the Apex events yields Apex event store rewards
  • Eclipse Heist Tokens → convert to G4 ship parts, officer badges or Contraband Chips and officer shards
  • Rogue Event Trohpies → convert to G3/G4 material and resources or Apex Research Medals for Station and Outlaw Apex research
  • Contraband Chips → convert to Hijacked Mayflower/D3 class/Legionary ship blueprints

Titan-A

Why? The Titan-A boosts own and 2-13 alliance ships with powerful buffs useful for group and solo armadas, PvP, etc.

Short: Radioactive Titanite → Beryllium → Ship Parts, Veridium Isotope and Fleet Commander Skill Points

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center and this infographic:

1. Claim daily gift: Radioactive Titanite
2. Complete daily task: Use ship ability to buff ships (uses Radioactive Titanite) → Beryllium and Crystalline Beryllium
3. In the Support refinery convert
   • Beryllium → Titan-A Ship Parts and Veridium Isotope for Starships research

Vi'dar und Vi'dar Talios (vs Borg)

Why? Because the Borg refinery yields high amounts of faction reputation and credits, and Active Nanoprobes for promoting Borg officers.

Short: Borg Tactical Probes → Inert Nanoprobes → Charged and Active Nanoprobes → Solo Armada Directives → Solo Armadas → Borg Expansion Cubes → Faction credits and reputation, officer shards and Fleet Commander material

Official material from Scopely: 🇬🇧 Scopely Help Center

1. Destroy Borg Tactical Probes for Inert Nanoprobes
   • Traveling into Borg systems costs Transwarp Cells → Claim daily gift: 2 cells while having 7 at max
   • Borg systems for the Vi'dar start beyond Unoma (levels 31-33), Panak (28-30), Pasadoran (26-27) and Alta (25)
   • New Borg systems for the Vi'dar Talios start beyond Retha (levels 46-58) and Idola (36-44)
2. Convert Inert Nanoprobes in the Borg Tech refinery to
   • Charged Nanoprobes for improved ship components
3. Convert Charged Nanoprobes to
   • Active Nanoprobes to promote Unimatrx 12 crew officers
   • Independent Credits to promote Borg and Independent officers (e.g., Rogue and Augment)
   • Borg Solo Armada Directives (separate for Vi'dar and Vi'dar Talios, depending on their tiers)
4. Defeat Borg Solo Armadas for Armada Credits (uncommon, rare, epic)
5. Convert Armada Credits to
   • Unimatrix 12 officer shards
   • Rodinium
   • Fleet Commander material: FC Credits, FC Skill Point Fragments, FC Dust, Commander XP
   • Vi'dar Talios Loot Exocomp
6. Defeat Borg Expansion Cubes for Vinculum Fragments
   • Defeat Borg Expansion Cubes are regular group armadas
   • Their special ability Gravimetric Torpedos causes large amounts of damage
   • Gravimetric Torpedos are countered by obtaining the Talios' Foresight buff beforehand – each Talios with Foresight reduces the ability's damage by 12 % (cumulative).
   • Obtain the Foresight buff for your Talios by defeating a Borg Solo Armada; it lasts 1 hour
   • The Vi'dar Talios itself is not required to participate in the Solo Armada to obtain the buff
7. Convert Vinculum Fragments to
   • Charged Nanoprobes
   • Active Nanoprobes
   • Unimatrix 12 officer shards
   • Borg Solo Armada Directives
   • Vi'dar Talios Loot Exocomp

• To tier up the Vi'dar Talios' Impulse Engines a Transwarp Coil is required that is bound to Operations level:

  Transwarp Coil Tier	Operations level
  1	35
  2	36
  3	38
  4	40
  5	42
  6	44
  7	46
  8	48
  9	50
  10	52
  11	54
  12	58

• Destroy Assimilated Ferengi Traders for Latinum Antique; they spawn occasionally in Borg systems
• Convert Latinum Antique to
  • Lucrative 3☆ Mines Transwarp Cell (for systems Forin, Mira, Perek)
  • Vi'dar tier 1-3: Uncommon Latinum Transwarp Cell (for systems Yoria-3)
  • Vi'dar tier 4-6: Rare Latinum Transwarp Cell (for systems Torra Sedra)
  • Vi'dar tier 7-9: Epic Latinum Transwarp Cell (for systems Zed Alpha)
  • ⚠ Saved Transwarp Cells can be useful in events requiring hull damage or critical damage – to have more tokens to fly into Borg systems after your regular 8/8 or 9/8 Transwarp Cells are used up
