We continue to dive into the new Assimilation Arc, talk about Fleet Commanders, President Eco stops by, OliverDJz gets straight A’s on a report card, and then we dive into borg crewing…. Are they the same as Jem Hadar? Let’s dive in. It was a long show, so enjoy the background noise.
Apologies for the abrupt ending. but ya know. The new PC needs to hurry up!

Hello
I’ve been playing this game for four years and I think this is going to be my last ARC.
The amount of time that it currently takes to play is a minimum of 4 to 5 hours a day.
I have a career, a wife & children I can’t spend that much time playing a game.
It’s becoming a chore, The platform is unstable, you constantly have to reload. They’re constantly having to give out free chests because they can’t provide stable arcs and now the grind is obscene.
I just can’t justify playing this game anymore.
It sucks because I’ve put in four years and a lot of time as a free to play to get to level 40 but it’s just not worth playing anymore it’s no longer fun.
Sometimes walking away is the best solution
Well Tr8r…..I think Beyonce can relax now….somehow I don't think you'll be knocking her out of the top 10 😋
After this I think Tr8r will be entering the Twitch Witness Protection Program 🤣🤣
Mind u…still better than "let it go" and "baby shark"
What the dev team started to do with the Frank-A, and is now trying to do with borg probe exocomps, is on the right track. But in a sense, a lot of it is FAR TOO LATE. Many players have ground themselves into a state of complete mental exhaustion with this old content. Tr8r's comment exemplifies this: "I will never hit another Borg probe."
Eco, please take a lesson learned from this back to the Dev team. Yes, DO roll out mastery mechanisms to reduce the daily grind for players who have "paid their dues" on specific content; but DO IT SOONER, BEFORE THEIR POINT OF MENTAL EXHAUSTION. 3-4 months after a block of hostile-grinding content is released, a mastery mechanism should kick in. 3-4 months after that, another. And so on. Give players that sense of empowerment of having put in the work to "fully secure" an in-game income stream, and reward them by needing only minimal daily maintenance of that income stream. The very apex of the mastery system could be something like "Maia's Automated Ship Hangar", which allows us to send a T9 Vidar on an away mission that brings back 500k Borg Probes after 10 hours (cancellable). Not quite as much loot as if we did the grind manually, but it's a decent tradeoff so we can focus on new content. You can, of course, monetize these automation features so that players who are cash-rich and time-poor can still get the income they need to progress these game loops, without the hassle of having put in six months of grinding first; you'd also be destroying the business model of those monthly subscription auto-grind bot services.

1:07:07 No! sorry that is not correct, not even close …
> green ExoComp = 125% Loot Bonus
> .blue_ ExoComp = 250% Loot Bonus
> purple Exo Comp = 500% Loot Bonus
Lv33 Borg Probe Loot = MIN = 3.315 & MAX = 4.442
also +50% Vi'Dar Skin ; +20% up to 100% loot bonus from 5of11
when you check the math you find "Boni" like this:
> average loot with green exo = 12.770 red nanos
> average loot with blue exo = 17.841 red nanos
> average loot with purple exo = 27.537 red nanos
My Cargo got bigger with Research, Buildings and Officers
My current Vi'Dar Cargo = 841.000
> Green Exo = 66 kills to full
> Blue Exos = 47 kill to full
> Purple Exo = 31 Kills to full
The time lengths need to be doubled for ALL vidar exos. They're too short to get a good use out of. Even the 500% exo wasn't long enough, it still only filled up 750k of my 1 million cargo on my Vidar 🙁
Hey DJ, Tell me if this is a good idea to reduce the borg grind time for everyone and especialy the players that have limited play time during the week but can play a little more during the weekend. Instead of making the Borg exo 20-15-10 minutes makes them 1 hour just like the amalgam so players can take 1 hour or maybe 2 every week to do all their borg run with the 8-9 tokens they have.
Your idea to add 10 minutes and double or improve the charged nano probes refinery would help. It is unreasonable for Scoplay to expect us to give up the benefits from the old completed loop and engage in the new content. Those with a maxed vidar should still get the benefit of both. Or give us the new prime free in the battle pass. That would fix the issue for the active nano probes.
Hi Djz might be off topic for this video . I’m lvl 42 battle pass spender and maybe a pack every 3 months . I’m concerned about my 30 min repair speed ups . I’ve always been low compared to alliance members but all these solo mada eating them up . Using more than I can get daily . If I run out that’s it for me not waiting for ships to repair
I don't know why you give so much air time to Eco. He doesn't say anything other than I'll follow-up. Its not informative. Scopey designers need to actually play the game – build ships, level up, etc. Most of the pain point would be solved if they played what they are laying down.
