Season 6 Tips & Secrets

i don’t have a lot, but hope we can get a good list going here.

first, i saw some people having trouble with the weapons test from the base. i was beaming directly to the ship. don’t do that. beam from the fleet base transporter and you will easily find the weapons test and it takes no time at all.

i also saw that some people could not do the hearts and minds mission. don’t go directly to donatu, but go to Drake under available missions. this mission is a little tougher.

Found on the big forum concerning protecting freight ships:

The best advice I can give is to remember that this encounter is NOT about destroying enemy ships, it’s about allowing the frieghters to get to the base, and to complete their ‘docking progress’ bar. Thus:

– Save ALL heals, and usable on other shield repair/buff BO powers for use on the frieghters…PERIOD. You loose nothing if you or a comrade blows up and there is no pogressive respawn timer like in the STFs, so it’s not a big deal if you blow up at the cost of getting a freighter more hull or shields.

– Concentrate ONLY on the ships firing at the frieghter and if you can, grab aggro; get some ships to follow you and fly AWAY from the path of the frieghter. Again, the point is to allow the frieghter to get to the Starbase, not destroy enemy ships.

– Don’t stay, or continue to engage an enemy ship group once a frieghter has been destryed or successfully docked. Immediately disengage and look for other frieghters that may be coming in and make a beeline to go escort and protect them. The enemy group will itself warp out soon after a frieghter had docked, or been destroyed.

– Realize that frieghters come into the system in groups of two or sometimes even three; and if you’re doing heals, you can sometimes get between two frieghters in such a way as to be able to throw heals on both.

– Learn which heal powers stack; and also what powers alspo trigger cooldowns on heal powers so you can use gthose wisely and not block yourself from being able to throw a heal that could’ve have made the difference between saving a frieghter or watching it blow just befoe the progress bar completed.
