With new hostile grinding officers and @everyone being thrust into an epic battle with the Borg (and more probes than you’d ever want to grind) it’s time we take a look at grinding out our favorite technological nemesis with our trust old friend the Vidar. In this video I explain why there are some differences in crewing based on the level of the Borg Probe you’re fighting in Star Trek Fleet Command as well as various crews for players of any level to use.
Topics covered:
1. The Vidar! yes, I have two. No, I’m not telling you that you need two.
2. Crew testing and the results!
3. What crews to use and why some Probes are different than others
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

i knew there was something unique about lvl 29 borg, but never knew what it was. ty
Why would you need a second vi'dar?
Since recently getting the vidar skin, spike suhura 5/la’an, fills up way too easily.
Tested multiple crews, to try and make the cargo bigger (539.9k)
Also trying to keep 5 for the quicker grind.
Long story short;
54 t’laan/la’an fills cargo to 670k or so
Spike suhura 4(stonn) could work…..but would be slower without 5, so didn’t even try after 54t crew
the crew shards for borg are so hard to get scopely should make it easyer so we can have borg shards on a daily basic
29s take painfully too long for me. SNW pike/uhura/laan worked better than 7/8/9. 30s seem to be my sweet spot right now. (tier 6)
I hope they don't add another specialty ship. There is already so many and so much grind. Higher-level systems would fix this grind immediately
I loved using 7,8,9 for the lvl 29 probes with a tier 7 V'Dar: if 7 got the bonus shots, the probe was destroyed before I took any damage as the first gun never fired and the three shots from the first gun was enough at the time to destroy the probe.
don't forget to get Galenar below decks.
Level 35 , 10m power and I haven't got 5/11. My crew pulls are Ruuuuuuubbish
thing rev should try NSW Pike Uhura and Hemmer as crew i still find thats the combo the let my ships survive longst and get out with the most cargo
Some of us don't have dwc pike
How about the crew for heavy hitter?
I use 7(c) 5 9 with la'an below decks, I get 913k per run and about 1/3 hull left every time. I haven't tried an exocomp yet.
What about 7 4 5?
Are the results with maxed SNW Pike and Uhura? Tried them today but i still get better results with 7, 5 and 6.
I'm using 7,5,4 and Laan tò increase cargo to 676k and full It every run
Hi Rev, I am using 5/11, 4/11, T'Laan with a 125% Vidar Exo and Underdeck SNW La'an. This allows me to fill the Vidar 2x completely within 20 min. Thanks so much for all your vids.
I use 7 as captain with 5 for loot boost and 4 for increased cargo… full cargo every time
I wish "Cosmic Cleanup" had been available for lower levels as well.
I dont have the snw crew of 5/11 and honestly I use picard bev tlaan and thats the best for me as i can kill a fair amount of 33’s get about 200k per run and not spend 5 hrs grinding 29’s to fill a cargo 😂😂😂
When words like "grinding" are used, it's usually not much fun.
Why not fix this time suck in the game so we could spend time doing something fun?
24hrs and scopely is gonna 'fix' the 29s. While ignoring other issues like below deck cargo crews not displaying correctly and cerritos shield regen research not working etc for months.
are those crew charts you had at the 2 min mark online somewhere?
Did this lame part of the game really need a video? The game is tired and META has ruined those of us who grew and played daily. I left the game 12 months and recently came back….Way to many currencies, away teams is not called close to my level, ship drops are terrible. Events give out a lot of mats that are really not needed. UC crap 3star, 4start and now I need UC ship parts…….Screw this. Its such a bad game now. Oh and the slow play of Armadas credits and I can not stand armadas
5, Kuron, T'Laan works perfectly for me. 597.4k probes per hull, finishes within +/- a few kills so I save time both grinding and warping. YMMV of course
Thanks for the good info
totally off subject but does anyone know if the new Amazon Luna is compatible with Star Trek Fleet Command?
SNW crew la’an and uhura with Pike as captain. Filled the cargo up. Missed the amount required by 10 points…
No comment about heavy hitter crew for probes?
Picard Beverly T'Laan work good also
still no infinitus skin Rev?
as an idea for crewing videos: I would appreciate any information if those crews work already from the start (tier 1, lvl 1) or only after a certain level/tier (or if they need to be maxed)
8,9,11 Unimatrix 12
nothing about snw una. nothing about lower deck. nothing about max cargo
So I did try SNW pike / uhura / 5 on level 33s and only got 1/2 the nanos I normally get. I have a T8 vidar and I run SNw pike/ uhura/Hemmer for full synergy and SNW laan below decks to get more cargo. I can fill up the cargo of 400k before dying. High below deck makes it a bit faster as well.
@RevDeuce Thank you so much. Switching to SNW Pike, SNW Uhura, Fives is a game changer. I can fill my max Vi’Dar cargo at 855k, without exocomps!
Thanks again!
Another crew I would add to the list is 5 7 4 when using an Exocomp. Pike Uhura 5 fills my 551k with 40% hull left (no exo). I swap to 5 7 4 and get to 660k cargo but I can't fill without an exocomp.
Hey Rev, any chance we can get the graphic/chart you showed in the video for the Borg Probe Crews? Thanks!
I use full synergy with snw pike(CPT), snw hemmer, snw uhura on ter 8 lvl 40 vidar; 650k-700k nano prob, just shy max cargo of 722k
Going to try 5 in the place of snw hemmer to compare
If you have the snw crew pike uhura laan there is no other reason to use any other crew unless you have 2 vidars and need a 2nd crew. Why would you pick his crew that won't fill your cargo every time.
I can fill my cargo on 33s with 7/5/9, so why do I care about the rest?
