Ouch.

Most of us have great shields and great hulls, so taking damage is challenging enough - but getting your teammate to take damage so you can heal it is even harder.

May I suggest the following: choose a ship with Engineering team (or other hull heals), hook up with a friend, unequip your shields, and pick up the patrol "Within the Briars". Enter the metreon gas pockets, and fire away. Have your friend keep within 10 klicks of where you are, and you targeted as you do this.

As soon as you begin to take damage, have him/her click on the hull heals they are using. Rinse and repeat until they hit 50k of heals - then switch roles, re-equip your shields, let them drop their trousers... I mean shields... and blow up some more metreon gas until you can heal them as well.

Afterwards, complete the mission as directed (or do the mission, then play in the metreon pockets.)

Ruins of doom works for this as well. One of you sits near the mutated spores, takes damage every 20 seconds, and the other one heals.

Another challenging challenge resolves through teamwork and evil cunning.]]>

Even if Combat Log tells us so.

The outrageously high damage until nerf is caused by the 3 pieces set bonus at the Discovery Legends engine set and it is attributed to the wrong weapon - the log snippet in the pic below is from the log of a cruiser - no experimental weapon at all on board.

For the new Event the tips are this:

Treat it like Dranuur Gauntlet, with a focus on KDF and Terran ships as you'll only see those. The Satellites around the Shield Satellites matter not for marks, otherwise, the Shield Satellites that survive are worth 10 marks each and every downed dread is worth 2 extra marks. Activating the defense satellites will make things easier, but not required, during the Upgrade stage for the satellites, one of two methods for upgrading the satellites will give the best effect, either the 3 closest to the Planet as Eng or as Sci, the middle 6 as Tac for dealing out as much damage as possible, and the ones furtherest from Sci/Eng opposite of the ones on the Planet side. IE

    S           S             S
T     T     T    T       T       T
    E           E             E

Why this Configuration of satellites? The barriers block in BOTH Directions, so putting them at the back keeps the enemy ships from getting through, and doesn't block any of the satellites from firing on the enemy ships. The Sci Sats, have a Tractor Beam with a 15 Km range (possibly all abilities) so using them to either delay or hold them enemy as close to the Tac Sats as possible is why they are either First (keep the enemy away from the Shield Sats), or middle last (to keep the enemy weak or in place for Maximum Damage)
Alternate Configs include:
replacing the Sci with Tac above and turning the Eng to Sci
replacing the Sci with Tac above and making the middle 4 Sci

While the event lasts it'll be good for Terran/Klingon ships, and dreads as you'll not want for people to Pug with and there are unlimited dreads at the end you just have to survive and down the dreads fast enough to get as many as you need in 5 minutes, for your Endeavor.
Remember its got a 1s CD until the end of the event!
If you want to Speedevent channel it it works even better then the Ground Pahvo
That is all,

In Season 13 a big rebalancing happened - the Developers nerfed things they considered too strong and beefed stuff up they deemed too weak.

On Planet Trait, Energy Refrequencer from Iconian Reputation was hamstrung, outlawed & marooned. From that day on the trait was uncool, unreservedly.

During the introduction of Reputation Tier 6 Novermber 2018, the saddie was revamped, again.

The Cryptic Intelligence Agency came up with a description of some Tzenkethi ships. The System Design Chapter gives us most.

Tzenkethi ships cuddling together are reported to be almost unsinkable.

I started looking for an agressive approach for my Science captains that does not rely on the common Gravity Well tactics. Step 1 is picking one or two science skills that hurt the foe, step 2 is looking on Duty Officers: for the right type in the Interwebs, for the right person in your roster and in the Exchange.

Tzenkethi are reported to be very tough, less tough on their front arc where they sport their overly heavy weapons.
I observed Tzenkethi ships using Trajector Lock to rip me apart with Tractor beams while passing my position. Play agille, try new tricks and have Polarize Hull in your skill setup. I found attacking shields, movement, energy household and damage resistance very interesting options. Command Specialists and Intel Specialist offer nice attack vectors too (e.g. Overwhelm Emitters, EMP Probe, Ionic Turbulence, maybe Transport Warhead).

Shooting Practice
Broln'Ta Cruisers act likeIconian Energy gateways. Blast them first, Shuk-din Frigates maybe second, then everything else. A Tactician's Tank ship probably treats a Tzenkethi Big Thing like a Borg Cube.

Going to Battle
The Battle Zone requires Level 60.
Reputation Tier 1 at the Lukari Restoration Initiative gives you Transwarp to the Gon'Cra System. Swoosh, you are there.
Otherwise transwarp to the Fleet K13 Holding or to the Defera System, leave system and enjoy canonical space travel:

The Map and the Briefing
The Klingon Big Cheese gives you a briefing on the various actions. That makes sense as this is not just Undine BZ 3.0:

React on Counterattacks
Zones with dotted lines are umder attack. The Tzenkethi counter attacks are meant to win back.

While the zone icon is Blue, NPC allies hold the line yet and a single player vessel may stop the counter attack.
When the zone icon gets Gray, the zone is contested and needs full attention.
When the zone icon is Orange, zone belongs to the Tzenkethi.

We have PIX!

Tow, tow, tow your Rock gently through the Loops
And if You see a Saur Ship, don't forget to ...

]]> Preparation - the Intelligence Record

The Cryptic Intelligence Agency came up with a description of some Tzenkethi ships. The System Design Chapter gives us most.

Tzenkethi ships cuddling together are reported to be almost unsinkable.

I started looking for an agressive approach for my Science captains that does not rely on the common Gravity Well tactics. Step 1 is picking one or two science skills that hurt the foe, step 2 is looking on Duty Officers: for the right type in the Interwebs, for the right person in your roster and in the Exchange.

Tzenkethi are reported to be very tough, less tough on their front arc where they sport their overly heavy weapons.
I observed Tzenkethi ships using Trajector Lock to rip me apart with Tractor beams while passing my position. Play agille, try new tricks and have Polarize Hull in your skill setup. I found attacking shields, movement, energy household and damage resistance very interesting options. Command Specialists and Intel Specialist offer nice attack vectors too (e.g. Overwhelm Emitters, EMP Probe, Ionic Turbulence, maybe Transport Warhead).

Shooting Practice
Broln'Ta Cruisers act likeIconian Energy gateways. Blast them first, Shuk-din Frigates maybe second, then everything else. A Tactician's Tank ship probably treats a Tzenkethi Big Thing like a Borg Cube.

Going to Battle
The Battle Zone requires Level 60.
Reputation Tier 1 at the Lukari Restoration Initiative gives you Transwarp to the Gon'Cra System. Swoosh, you are there.
Otherwise transwarp to the Fleet K13 Holding or to the Defera System, leave system and enjoy canonical space travel:

The Map and the Briefing
The Klingon Big Cheese gives you a briefing on the various actions. That makes sense as this is not just Undine BZ 3.0:

React on Counterattacks
Zones with dotted lines are umder attack. The Tzenkethi counter attacks are meant to win back.

While the zone icon is Blue, NPC allies hold the line yet and a single player vessel may stop the counter attack.
When the zone icon gets Gray, the zone is contested and needs full attention.
When the zone icon is Orange, zone belongs to the Tzenkethi.

We have PIX!

Tow, tow, tow your Rock gently through the Loops
And if You see a Saur Ship, don't forget to ...

Having a mighty vessel that can do that solo is awesome Big Grin

I have been so excited on the idea, that I totally goofed video & log recording on the first 2 runs.

Running Infected Conduit Advanced solo requires 4 mates to enter the STF, be public or private. Having comments from the onlookers (Ver', Krill, Nony, WhoCares, Sov) while flying is great - however, your friends, being patient for 15 mins get a 2 hr Penalty for inactivity as we had to learn. Private or Public game make no difference. Sorry

I am learning yet to do the No Heals from Spheres Optional - the USS CHRISTOPHERUS as ship is doing great. Cool

The first successful video - I ran the STF with a friend and we filled the seats with 2nd & 3rd accounts - is done with Gravity Well - not good engough yet for the Spheres, but Time Optional met:

Numbers:
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - [14:24] DMG(DPS) - @edarta: 52.52M(61.61K)

SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - DMG In: 3,042,209 TPS: 3,521.08 (100.0% of Team) - Piper@edarta
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - ATKS In: 3,212 ATPS: 3.72 (100.0% of Team) - Piper@edarta
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - HITS In: 2,545 HTPS: 2.95 (100.0% of Team) - Piper@edarta
SCM - Infected [LR] (S) - Heal Out: 1,791,407 HPS: 2,073.00 (100.0% of Team) - Piper@edarta

Need to work on Tactics/Piloting & Damage, I guess Wink
