Phase 4 is Live: To the Sick Bay!

UPDATE BUNNY 4/10 240AM EST: K my lil Tribblemakers, I think you all have used and abused the comments section on this post enough. Again, we get the venting… we get the frustrations. The new stuff JUST dropped. Give it time to see how it plays out before torching the place down. For now…it has gone TOO far. If you would like to add HELPFUL tips to this HELPFUL post myself and Alissa put so much time and effort on, please feel free to add your comment. Otherwise, go to What The Deuce to vent. If you have a technical issue or question, that is fine let us know. Just the facts only. ANYTHING else will find its way out back. Sorry, but enough is enough. 😉 

 

Hello There Clammers!

FINALLY an update on time.  Star Trek Phase 4 is officially live in Quahog!

Head over to your Enterprise and upgrade to Warp Core 4 (if you’ve met the requirements).  This week we’ll unlocked the Sick Bay, Beverly Crusher and Vulcan Quagmire!

As always we’ll be back with more details as soon as we go through them…

A reminder that Android and Amazon players have a patch update in their respective App stores.  So be sure to download version 1.7.6 so you’re on the latest update.  iOS users your update should be out soon…

First up…the new stuff

Unlocking the Sick Bay

Sick Bay Unlocked

After you’ve upgraded the Warp Core you’ll be tasked with unlocking the Sick Bay.  In order to unlock the Sick Bay you’ll need 50 Life Support Energy.

After you’ve unlocked the Sick Bay you’ll then start the rest of the update…


New Characters

Beverly CrusherBeverly Crusher you’ll find her in the Sick Bay.  To unlock her you’ll have to collect lots of STUFF.  Here’s what you’ll need:

UPDATE BUNNY 4/11: I know many of you keep asking this, so I am going to put it in here for you all to see. YES… ALL 3 WILL DROP THE HYPSPRAY. 😉 

Borg Drops

I have tested this on so many Borg. At least 50 of them now. This is what I am seeing, on the Characters themselves only the Synthesizer shows in their task list. This is ONLY visual. Visual issues are low priority and last to be patched. So do not worry about it. Clear Borg Deanna

Clear Borg Worf

As for the Borg, you are killing them on the Enterprise that is FULL of all sorts of colorful background. This can make it difficult to see things… Like the HYPOSPRAY when it pops out. I almost missed seeing a few of mine, until I looked close at the screenshots. There it was. Borg Drop Items

Hypospray is NOT as common as the Synthesizer, for my game I saw the bright green cubes more often then the spray. But I did see it.


 


Vulcan QuagmireVulcan Quagmire you’ll find him in Al Harrington’s.  To unlock here’s a look at the STUFF you’ll need:

Dilithium Crystals1750 Dilithium Crystals

Really Large Q-Tip25 Really Large Q-Tips (Uncommon)- Earned By: Send an Away Team to Planet Vulcan OR Make Ferengi Mort Hiss at Hew-mons OR Make Bonnie Go to Ladies’ Night OR Make Bruce Fret About Something

New Craft to Destory with Phasers

2015-04-09 23.55.36

Shielded PeterCrafts are now in the game.  They’re bigger and faster than the regular PeterCraft and it’ll take two shots to blow them up.  You have to shoot it twice before it disappears off the screen, otherwise it comes back undamaged.  So you’ve got to be quick with that trigger finger!

Your first shot you will know it hit if you see the damage on the Shielded PeterCraft. Hit it again before it disappears or it will return shiny and new and you will have to try again. Damaged Shielded PeterCraft

Shielded PeterCraftShielded PeterCraft

And that my friends completes the details for Phase 4 of Star Trek!

What do you think of the Phase 4 update?  Thoughts on the new characters added?  How about the new planets?  What do you think of the Shielded PeterCraft?  How about the Red Shirts?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

  6. You’d think they would have learned their lesson by now about timing issues when it comes to disgruntled players. I suppose there are those heavy spenders that have already unlocked Crusher and Quagmire even though the Phase is less than 2 hrs old. For many, they’re deadlocked at Locutus on the main questline and Lois on the side quest. 30 minutes prior to this release, I hit SF Level 6. My girl is 1/2 way through lvl 5, neither of us have Lois or Locutus and there are still people working on Troi. For newbies first coming to this event, they’re the worst hit by this update. But I digress…. my whole point is what is needed for this phase’s characters. Quagmire’s already working on laser pointers and they make him work on Crusher. Bonnie’s doing the same action for green cubes that is needed elsewhere. They’re listening? I can’t speak for everyone but it would seem to me that in a fit of desperation, they’ve turned up the heat instead of putting out the fire. I’m sure thier churn rate is below expectations but this would be expected as players won’t pay to be denied content. If by the end of this event, I still feel as I do now, they’ll have permanently lost 2 paying players. Consider this my last and final warning TinyCo. I’ll be reiterating as much to upper management at TinyCo after finalizing my thoughts this weekend. Sorry for tossing this out like this but they need to understand, some of the player base is getting fed up with these poor choices. Please allow this to be presented as is. Thank you two for all the good you’ve done.

  7. Le sigh…Just wasted 2 phasers shooting the new larger Petercraft. Decided to check the FAQ before yelling at TinyCo only to find out that these ships need 2 shots each to explode. I’m wondering if this is possible even with spending some clams. I have Whorf but room switched and used taco trucks and play a lot…did I mention, A LOT.

  14. Woohoo! Starfleet level 6 BEFORE the Warp Core upgrade, probably the first time I’ve been ahead of the curve in any FGTQFS event, and I’ve been “on board” since the start – I first played a couple of days after “launch.” Admittedly I’m 13 Felicium short of Starfleet Lois, and 5 Duct Tapes, 6 Batteries and 17 Laser Pointers short of Locutus… AND I’ve inadvertently blown a load of dilithium on Dr Bev before noticing how many new items had been released (meaning that I don’t have enough for my Vulcan High Command yet – I went for Geordi’s VISOR Hut instead for the item drops) and it’s all been done without spending a single cent (or a single penny if you like your currency information to be accurate!) That’s right, no clams have been harmed during the production of this minor miracle 🙂

Oh well, c’est la vie, I guess I won’t unlock him. I’d rather not be the victim of manipulation this transparent.

  20. Phase 4 has started off great! It was on time and doesn’t feel as if it will required as much hard work as the other phases. Got the last laser pointer I needed for Locutus at the same time Phase 4 launched! Perfect timing. Now I’m just trying to get the questlines out of the way so I can collect all the items necessary!

  21. This is early anger, rather than early panic. Look at Vulcan Quagmire’s requirements again: 42 RARE items which can only be gotten with Phaser Battles (where each attempt has a 6 hr task prerequisite from characters who are also going to be busy with other things) or using clams to buy event-temporary access to a transporter mission.

    If they just want the outfit to be a clam purchase item, why not just come out and label as such?

    One more time: 42 RARE items with only 2 ways to earn.

  30. It looks like Tiny Co decided they were too easy on us this last week with the laser pointer and felicium requirements. This week, if you don’t buy Planet Vulcan for 100 clams, you will need to get 42 rare space condoms for Vulcan Quagmire entirely by blowing up Petercraft, and I think the ones that need to be blown up for them take 2 shots each to blow up. Seems pretty unreasonable to me.

  32. And again it appears there is at least one thing in Crusher and Quags that is going to be nearly impossible to get without clams (and even then, will still take a while). Crusher is the hypospray (no characters run to get it, and requires 55). Quagmire is the Space Condoms (Planet Vulcan which is clams, or he Peter Craft, which is already stressed enough getting the tough items for Locutus and Lois from last week’s run).

    I am an advocate of TinyCo’s odds generator and game balancing in getting stuff (regular freebes can get everything if they are conistent), but even this time I have to wonder if they have rebalanced towards getting more clams.

    Like

    • Yup, I am with you on this. Have seen all of the comments about the “cash grab” for this event, but held off until now.

      I’ve spent USD $40 on this event alone, and still am 8/25 on Felicium, 17/35 on Laser Pointers, and 22/40 on Batteries.

      I now have over 100 “Transporter” gems, 20K in Dilithium, etc, etc, etc.

      Transporter use to get Batteries and Phaser gems even with max members sent is pitiful in returns, especially in regards to results/other opportunity costs lost. SOMEONE at TinyCo took an Economics class, and realized that almost no one else does >X^)P

      But only basic Economics. They missed the “better to get 5% of 1000 pies, than 20% of 100”. That or they are going for the “10% of purchasers are addicts who will pay anything, who cares about how we affect their lives… we got ours.”

      For me, it actually helps. I was teetering on how much more I wanted to participate in this game… and they actually made the South Park episode spoof a reality. Just regret the $20 I spent because I loved Star Trek/ST:NG so much… lol, but now they have spoiled even that childhood memory.

      Anyone else notice that Bonnie has stopped dropping Batteries? Even as an Economist, it IS statistically possible for a “common” drop % wise as noted to fail 12 times in a row today… but possible is not probable

      Anywho, going to apply for all proceeds given to TinyCo back. Google/Android is pretty good with that, and as well AMEX being even better if Google gets shy.

        • People really need to do it more often. Especially in Events as it is widely known there is ALWAYS a tutorial built into them. Every event… the tutorial was in there. Part of the requirements to move on. Read this, do this, understand that. I get people don’t understand things, but there is a point that you can not blame a company for not taking the time yourself to seek out the information that is there. They do put it all over. So unless you are expecting a personal telephone call from them everytime something hits the game, there is not much more than can do to tell you the specifics.

          Their Twitter is there. Their Facebook is there. Their FAQ is always there and has details as soon as the items go live. Community sites like this very one are here…. and how do you think WE get the info? EVERYTHING we get we pull right from the game. No other game out there to date in Mobile apps has offered so much easily accessed details.
