Hello There Clammers!
Week 3 is live…time to upgrade the Warp Core to level 3 and unlock the Bridge!
In Week 3 we’ll see Borgs, Locutus, Starfleet Lois, Guinan, Skimpy Sarong Herbert (finally for the right reason), a brand new mystery box and Phaser Battles!
As always we’ll be back as soon as we go through it all…remember you’ll need 25 Life Support Energy to unlock the Bridge…
Back with more in a bit
BUNNY REMINDER: As stated whenever you tapped the Warp Core… in order to Upgrade… your STARFLEET XP LEVEL needs to be at 4. 
So… to get to WARP CORE 3
… get your STARFLEET XP to 4.
🙂
First, and best thing to do is upgrade the Warp Core. Tap on it once you have met the requirements and you can start to see some of the new content.
Now let’s get to the new items…
Buildings
Starfleet Academy- 100 Clams. Earns 8 Crystals, 12xp/6hrs. Always drops Phaser Energy.
Decorations
Romulan Symbol Statue- 350 Crystals
New Mystery Box
Hisanus Mystery Box– 100 Clams a shot at this one. Here’s what you can win:
Le-Matya- Moving Decoration (uses sidewalks)
Klingon Bird-of-Prey- Earns 10 crystals, 2xp/8hrs
Picard’s Fishbowl– Earns 5 crystals, 1xp/4hrs
Giant Tribble- Animated Decoration
200 Clams
150 Clams
15 Life Support Energy
5 Syntheszier Ore
4 Transporter Energy
12 Phaser Energy
Borgs
The Borgs will not appear until triggered by “An Endless Battle Part 1” by Peter in Warp Core Level 3. Mine showed up after “Frame of Mind Part 8”
Clearing Borgs will require Troi, Worf or Vulcan Quagmire.
Clearing with Worf or Deanna will take 2hrs. Potentially earn Synthesizer Ore, Duct Tape or Space Groceries (You will need to unlock the Bridge to see the tasks in their task menus)
Still working on spawns, but in my game (Bunny) it seems like 5 appeared every 2hrs with a MAX of 5 allowed at a time. So if you already have 3, only 2 more appear at spawn time.
New Characters
Locutus
You’ll find him on the Bridge. As always, unlocking him will require you to collect lots of stuff. Here’s what you’ll need:
10 Duct Tape (Extra Rare)– Earned By: Clear Borgs OR Get from Riker’s Quarters OR Make Guinan Mix Space Drinks

Two new planets were introduced with Phase 3. Here’s a quick look at them..

Phaser Battles
Pew pew…finally Phaser Battles have been added!
UPDATE BUNNY 4-3 230PM EST: Have already contacted TinyCo in regards to WHO drops the Phaser Energy (even though it says Transporter below) and at what point. Will update when clarification is offered. (Like Chris and Geordi)
Basically you collect Phaser energy to blow stuff up and win more stuff! Once you earn energy you’ll see this screen popup..
Basically shoot stuff to earn more stuff. The more you blow up the better your rewards will be…and don’t forget to blow up the PeterCraft
And there you have it my friends, the details of Phase 3.
What do you think of the new phase? Thoughts on the new characters? How about the new planets? Excited to blow stuff up? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Family Guy Addicts 
Is it just me or is the Assimilation room a little premature? Most people only have Troi to pummel the borg with tribbles. And even if you have Worf, you are still behind getting rid of them before they respawn to max. So adding more to the mix before you really can get rid of the natural ones seems really counterproductive.
I also would have thought they would have closed the exploit door when we were room swapping to boost our mats last phase, but now we have an even faster one with Riker’s room and the weapons locker. Not looking gift horse in mouth.
LikeLike
I’m confused why you say it’s an even faster one. Those rooms take me a long time to build.
LikeLiked by 1 person
When I wrote that it took only 10 min to build both rooms. So I could get 9 of each per hour (using 2 of one room and one of the other, then switch next time). But shortly after that they put their build time to 10 hours. So either “my bad” or they realized their mistake and fixed it.

Each Upgrade did the same. 10 min build the moment it launched… almost like its a place holder… but when finishes processing, it jumps to the actual time.

First off I wamt to thank you wonderful ladies for the excellent job yous are doing and all the help you provide. I don’t know how you don’t rip your hair out and freak out and tell off some of the people that leave ignorant comments. Yous are angels! So let me get this straight, I have to be starfleet level 4 to get to warpcore 3 and I’m guessing 5 to get to 6? I could have sworn that I got warpcore 2 when I reached SF level 2 and when I got to SF 3 I thought I just had to wait for today to get WC level 3! Also any word on if they will be offering any better deals on getting something extra for buying clams? Thank you again! Live long and prosper!

I really like the strategy of this week vs week 2, sorry but week 1 was the best with constant tribbles everywhere.
Only thing I don’t like is that there is not enough ways to get the Felcium (for Lois) and Laser Pointers for Locotus. I think one more character helping on each of those would’ve been better considering the quantity needed and that they both share the same way of getting them.
12 hour times for Guinan to drop Phaser energy is not that cool either. She better drop just about every time.
LikeLike
Anyone else looking at the drop rates on the new planets and thinking it’s probably best to wait a few days until they go from ridiculous new-content cash-grab rates to overly-generous appease-the-mob-with-pitchforks rates? Cause it just seems wrong to be able to put 5 characters in and end up with absolutely nothing better than an unlikely chance, even crystals. Insane if they actually expect people to get anything that way, and every time they release new content it seems to be ridiculously badly balancedlike this. And then a few days later they change it, once they’ve squeezed all the instant gratification money out of people. IMO it’s getting really old, I wish they’d just be straightforward from the start rather than playing games with how they release content in order to fleece the gullible.

@nobody – that’s exactly what I thought. Why even include all those characters on the mission roster if sending 5 of them at once does barely anything to increase your item chances? I’m no longer “invested” in this event, but I still balked when I noticed that. When the event’s gameplay doesn’t even follow its own guidelines (i.e. the more characters you send, the greater your item chances increase) then the whole “the event is designed to take a while” excuse can’t even be applied, because that’s just poor (or manipulative) design, period.
LikeLike
Oh so you need Deanna to clearing borgs? 5 days and not a single transporter energy thing! Now this is odd. Im starting to think my game is glitched or something cause i remember getting EPIC stuff more easily..Dont get me wrong, i love this game but one thing is the challenge of getting stuff but this is right down frustrating hehe.

This looks really fun. Too bad I won’t be able to upgrade for quite a while. I’m playing every few hours and I’m only halfway through level 3. Between this and the transporter energy, I’m coming close to calling it quits on this game. This event had been more stingy than anything else I’ve encountered. I even had more luck with the simpsons easter event last year.

It’s taking me way too long to even reach level 4. I’m only half way there and I only have the Klingon Symbol Statue to build now, but I need transporter energy for that. Plus transporter energy to get the other 8 chocolate bars for Troi. It’d sure be nice if I could get more than 2 or 3 a day. At this rate I won’t be able to start this phase until the next one starts. Are there any decent ways to earn more Starfleet xp at least, instead of just waiting the tiny amounts to add up?

You can’t unlock the new room until you upgrade the Warp Core anyway. So you still have to get to Level 4. You’ll probably have enough energy by then.

I think that this time tiny co design line was not so fair, because I think that if you have a week to complete all the quest line you should be able to do that without use clams (clams should be only a shortcut for who can’t wait).
So now probably I have to wait for other 4/5 days to unlock Deanna and clear the first Borg. I’m not saying that there isn’t enough time to get Deanna because this event is very long but if when the phase 3 stars and I can do nothing is a problem. What you think girls?

To be clear the first part of my post is a note for tiny co becouse is the second time in a row that an event is so difficult without using clams.

Is it me or should the premium characters always have 100% drops no matter what it is?

I do think it was very kind of Tinyco to give freemium players only one character this phase to help clear the Borgs and I was being sarcastic about that too.

After collecting several times from the ale bars, 32 Xp at level 5 lights up about 1 unit of the big bar (the one on the screen with star fleet peter). 800=32*25 so if the casket ejector actually paid out 800 xp, the big bar should have increased by nearly 25 (of the 32 total) lighted units. That definitely didn’t happen & I haven’t had a late bump in the past 8 hours either. Just an observation.
I’ll probably send an in game ticket to let them know, but it probably shouldn’t really be an issue as getting to the max star fleet level by the end of the event shouldn’t be all too difficult.
