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…
To be able to gain access to ALL the new items below, not just limited… you will need to have progressed through the Main Questline to the end of A Ship Without Picard (Part 8, Part 9 will trigger with new Warp Core)
First up…the new stuff
DECORATIONS
Chompy Alien Plant- 250 
Alien Shrubbery- 75
Giant Satellite Dish- 500
BUILDING
Geordi’s VISOR Hut- 525 , 3hr Build. Earns 1 , 1xp/hr. Chance to drop Laser Scalpels
Vulcan High Command- 1,000 . 24hr Build. Earns 10 , 2xp/8hrs.
Unlocking the Sick Bay
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 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:
28 Medical Tricorder (Uncommon)- Earned by: Make Starfleet Lois have a Holodeck Romance OR Make Joe Patrol the School OR Make Herbert Buy Candy for Kids
55 Hypospray (Uncommon)- Earned By: Clearing Borg! OR Get from the Genetics Lab
18 Laser Scalpel (Rare)- Earned By: Send an Away Team to Bowel Regulus OR Make Quagmire Mix Drinks OR Get from the Decompression Chamber OR Get from Geordi’s VISOR Hut
3500 Dilithium Crystals
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. 😉
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. 
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. 
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 Quagmire you’ll find him in Al Harrington’s. To unlock here’s a look at the STUFF you’ll need:
1750 Dilithium Crystals
25 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
26 Mind Meld for Dummies Book (Rare)- Earned By: Get from Decompression Chamber OR Get from Medical Lab OR Get by Clearing Red Shirt
42 Space Condoms (Rare)- Earned By: Send an Away Team to Planet Vulcan OR Blow Up SHIELDED PeterCraft in the Phaser Battle (the Larger One)!
New NPC to “Attack”
Red Shirts are on Fire! Literally! After you’ve completed The Road to Recovery Pt. 3 the Red Shirts will appear on the Enterprise.
Unfortunately, to clear them you need Beverly Crusher.

Vulcan Symbol Statue

New Craft to Destory with Phasers
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. 
Shielded PeterCraft
Regular PeterCraft
And that my friends completes the details for Phase 4 of Star Trek!

I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but since the update last night for the drop rates and the addition of Q, the drops for Medical Tricorders from Joe and Herbert in Quohog are no longer being added to the count on the Enterprise. I’ve watched my count closely and I have now had at least 4 drops that never registered. The drops from the rooms on the enterprise are still adding ok for me. I am awaiting a response from Tiny Co on this, but I’m wondering if anyone else is seeing this. I am on Android.

Correction, there are no room drops for the tricorders on the Enterprise, I was getting my rooms mixed up. The drop are not registering in Quahog.

A LOT less is definitely true. I have to say, since yesterday, I have received no hypospray whatsoever from clearing Borgs. I know they are hard to see, but the drop rate seems to have changed. The only hyposprays I’ve received since yesterday are from the genetics lab, whilst Worf & Troi have been continuously clearing Borgs dropping only green cubes & XP /crystals. Before yesterday, they WERE sporadically dropping from Borgs. I currently have 17 out of 55, & considering they only cost 5 clams each, one would expect them to be noticeably more frequent. I’m now much closer to unlocking Quagmire’s skin now that the condoms are guaranteed after a Petership double strike. I’m hoping now I’ve posted this, fate will prove me wrong & when I log back in, either Worf or Troi (or both!) will start finding some more Borgs with the seemingly elusive hypospray….I won’t hold my breath though…

HI!! maybe you can help me to understand exactly how the XP Level works (or how much is needed to advance). Here’s the thing. For me It was VERY difficult to reach level 6 on time for this phase… Even with premium buildings and all the shots to the ships (with nothing more than crystals and XP, no Felicium, no lassers) it took me the entire week; however I managed to get it on Thursday right on time thanks to some of the new stuff they added (plants, antenna, purple bushes, etc). Those chompy plants didn’t drop any XP when I bought them (3 of them) but the Vazquez rocks and shrubberries did help a lot. I actually saw the indicator moving, something that didn’t happen with the casket ejector. Once the new section was open, I built new rooms… and now I reached level 7 in two days?!?!…not that I’m complaining about being on 7 now, thats good!! but I feel a little lost here since the sum of actions/tasks/collecting and its gained XP for an entire week is so much less than 4 new rooms and a few decos?? How is it possible?
Thank you so much, as always, for all your help.

You also have task completions that add to the XP amounts too. So it could be just a sum of all your task completing along with new items creating the jump. Replicator items seem to yield the best XP payout jump of them all.

Bunny can you tell me roughly what % drop rates I should expect for each drop level common thru epic. Maybe my expectations are too high.
I’m only getting around 40% drop for “uncommon” hypospray (I have 2 labs built, only getting 1 drop every 2 hrs, have not had both drop, but twice had neither drop). Also 0 for 4 on Borgs. So after day and half I only have 7 hypospray. At such a crap drop rate for uncommon, I figure it will take another 7 days grinding every 2hrs to get 55. Thurs morning i needed just 2 more laser pointers to unlock locutus, put quags constantly last 2 days, but got only 1 drop out of last 8 tries, so that’s like 12% for “rare” item?
If they want to have 5 drop levels shouldn’t it be distributed, like common 90%, uncommon 70%, rare 50%, extra 30%, epic 10%? That is pretty much what i got when i first started playing. But lately what I’m seeing is like common 80%, uncommon 50%, rare 15%, extra rare 10%. I know ppl will say its “random”. Then why even have 5 levels if the variance and randomness is so much that levels like rare and extra rare are now indistinguishable? If its random Tinyco should just put ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ as the drop level for every item, its more fitting for the drop levels they give us lately.

As it varies by player… that would be impossible to give you. They were never made public, so we made “guesses” based on our game play… but that was OUR game play. It is in the Materials section of the Menu.
LikeLike
OK yeah your guesses in the materials section matches what I was seeing too. But I definitely notice in recent updates (telenovela, brewery, trek) the drops are lower than they were before. Had they just labeled items more consistent with past history I would not have been so frustrated when supposed rare items only dropped like 15% and uncommon dropped at 50%. Its not the low drops that irk me, its the inconsistency / randomness and failure to meet expectations based on months of prior playing experience. My view is I’m fine with a 15% drop, just label it extra rare so I know what to expect.
When you say green ore is more common drop from Borgs than hypospray, that is an example why the game has been a joke lately. A “rare” item should not drop more often than a “uncommon” item.
I think its bad if the game basic nuts and bolts varies from player to player. Shouldn’t it be consistent and fair? Shouldn’t player A have the same playing experience as player B if they put in similar amount of time effort (caveat unless we’re talking premium player vs fremium player). If 2 players send the same 10 tasks why shouldn’t they get similar drops? There’s no real skill or strategy involved in just sending tasks. Drops shouldn’t be like playing slots at the casino where some get lucky and some don’t. Smh.

I agree completely Guy. The drop rates continue to be a “sore spot” with most players. Despite this, TinyCo keeps pumping out items with infuriating rates then wonders why people complain! The fact that another player gets items dropped that I don’t (or vice-a-versa) is absurd. What factors go into who gets what items when? Do ppl that spend more $ get better drops? Is this why drop rates are not published? I can only assume this is a factor based on what I read here. Ppl here post that they spend large amounts of clams on the game & then go on to report all the great items they receive, yet I can’t replicate those results in my game. Hmm.
Seems to me if the rates aren’t published & aren’t consistent among players then something stinks. If that’s wrong then either publish the rates and/or factors or make every action earn the item for everyone equally. Sounds like a simple solution, huh?

There’s a lot more going on in this game than we are led to believe. How is it that we’re all playing the same game, using the same characters to collect the same items with the same drop rates. Yet out of say 10 tries, 1 person gets way more items than the other person? 1 person can do say 5 Transporter trips and get a rare item, but another person can do it 20+ times and gets nothing. I’m convinced that what we see as a “Drop Rate”, is only there as a visual and nothing more, it evidently means nothing. I can send 5 characters out to collect at the same time, yet not a 1 comes back with a thing. The next time or so, multiple items. Same with the rooms and building. I’m telling you there’s a pattern. It has nothing to do with how often you play, cause I’m on every hour at least 20 hours a day, 7 days a week. Is it based on how much money is spent monthly? Is this why TinyCo refuse to post what percentage each drop rate is? Even Bunny And Alissa unofficially confirm this when the say “everyone’s odds are different”. They shouldn’t be, everyone’s playing the same game.
LikeLiked by 1 person
The OTHER game we write about is exactly the same on players odds. They all run on the same coding that randomizes drops. Many games use this. It gives players a unique experience and game play. Adds to the general challenge of the game. You are all NOT playing the same game. Same model, same Event, but individual results. So it isn’t cookie cutter player after player. I prefer it that way. Very old school style gaming.
You can question or blame it on money, but I am here to tell you money has NOTHING to do with it. Just look at MY results for the Mystery Box for one of many instances. SERIOUSLY! I have put THOUSANDS of REAL MONEY out of my pocket in the game. THOUSANDS! Did that help my odds? You’re really telling me 29 tries to get everything in the box for a HIGH Clam paying client is better odds? If that was the case, you all might as well just delete your games now and we shut down the site. Just sayin. 😉
We have proven time and time again… it is pretty much the same for ALL player levels. Some good days, some bad days. What you are seeing and feeling is a harder event. More challenging then past ones. Just ask the older players about Eyeballs and Headbands. These are a lot of randoms in one event. Something I haven’t seen done in an Event yet. So many are feeling the strain more than usual.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Bunny, I wasn’t saying that it does depend on money spent, I was merely asking. Clearly you have proven that isn’t the case. On the other hand, I’ve been playing since Thanksgiving. Every event was 50/50 freemium to premium as far as content. This one is leaning toward the premium side. The drop rate are so bad that you almost have to buy rooms or buildings with always drops. Sure I don’t have to and I have x amount of days to finish collecting items to unlock characters(stuff), but that defeats half the point of the game(the quest).
I don’t wanna play a “cookie cutter game” either, but odds are odds. If I build 2 of the same exact room at the same exact time, with a drop rate of UNCOMMON that’s say 1 in 5 odds, then how does 1 room give me 1 outta 5 and the other 1 outta 10? Either way it should be 1 in 5. If drops are randomized, then they should just say that “Random”. Even then, it’s not very random when you do 20+ Transporter trips and only get crystals.
Your results for the Mystery Box where random, you got the same item 2 maybe 3 times in a row, not the same item 20+ times.
I’m not complaining, I love the game and the events. I spend money for things I really want. I was reading some post from the beginning of this game/web site, and the 1 thing that hasn’t changed is Drop rate. After a year, you’d think Tinyco would get with the program already.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I get what you are saying, I am letting you know it has ALWAYS been that way. I doubt it will change. It is the same in other games. Mystery Box was just one example. My Material drops vary just like everyone’s, the rooms, etc. And the drop rate HAS changed… in the aspect of this…
Which means for the items, the more times you do NOT get the item, the better chances of that item dropping get. Not to mention the times they switched them during game play from rare to uncommon. Uncommon to common. Etc. They do pay attention. But the coding is a pretty standard one used. 😉

Don’t know where else to put this, but I just noticed (after using all 3 phaser energies I got from the 8 possible drops…sigh…) that on the unlocks for laser pointer it has changed from petercraft to the super petercraft (requires 2 hits).

Make sure you light up the target red. And watch when you hit it… the first will show damage, the second will destroy and show results at the bottom of a hit. Also, it is two hits BEFORE it leaves the screen. So you got to be quick with it.

All I can suggest is watch how you are lining up the shots. Wait til it looks like it is going diagonal from one corner to the other. Or through the center to give you enough time to get two shots off before it goes out of the screen again. It is critical a second hit finds the target once the damage shows. If it goes away, it starts over clear with no damage.
So just make sure that second shot is still in the red too and still while it is showing damage. Move the target if you have to.

I have not seen a timed one yet. I do know though playing through… any you destroy will count. So many times they were autochecked on regular quest tasks.

Going by FaceSpace, it looks like characters part of the next generation are required to progress (Riker, Troi, Geordi, Crusher and Data) while others like Locutus and Wharf and getting dumped with “the others”. Similarly, Meg and Stewie are the missing skins to complete the set while Quagmire Vulcan isn’t. I’m assuming he’s not actually needed for the next phase but Bev Crusher will be.

Condoms aside I will say that I’m getting good drop rates on everything else. The visor tower is dropping loads for me!

I think they got the tricorders (uncommon) and scalpels (rare) labeled wrong. Tricorders cost 12 clams each while scalpels are only 5 clams each. Hypospray (also uncommon) is 5 clams each as well.
To date, I’ve got 17/18 rare scalpels and only 5/28 tricorders.

You also have to factor in the options to get the items. They adjust for that too, not just drops. 😉

Hi. So here you say you have to blow up the Shielded PeterCraft to get the space condoms but my game just says PeterCraft. Just want to confirm.

Everything in this post was confirmed not only live in the game itself, but I also verified with TinyCo as well.

The game is a lot less frustrating when you just consider Vulcan Quagmire a premium skin. It’s impossible to get him without paying clams so just save your phaser energy for something else. I’ll still have Bonnie, Mort and Bruce do the tasks related to him since they have nothing better to do but there’s no point in even trying to get the condoms. Since TinyCo made the task impossible, they’re actually saving us a bunch of frustration if we accept that he’s an expensive premium skin.
Unlocking Locutus and Lois is more frustrating because those at least seemed possible when we started but the drop rates are just so terrible that it’s taking longer than we had expected.
Since Vulcan Quagmire is a skin, I assume he won’t be needed to advance the main quest, is that correct? Starfleet Lois is a side quest, so hopefully it’s the same for Quagmire.

So do you girls think its possible to get quaqmire costume w/o using claims? Im looking at the space condoms and it look rediculous to get. 42 needed and you have to shoot the bigger ship twice so thats like you need at least 84 orange crystal and its rare so you probably need 3 times or more with the crystal and the crystal aint even a common drop. Takes 6hrs to get one and most of the character that does drop them you need them on something else. The other way of getting is to pay clams for the planets and thats not guaranteed either. Im guessing tinyco knows this and does it on purpose so we can spend clams. Im cool with spending clams if i dont have time to play this game much and wanna catch up or want to get ahead of everyone but to kinda force me to use them when i put a lot of effort into the games already falls under “shady” for tinyco. Im hoping they change this but like i say, do u girls think we can get quaqmire with the way space condoms is so hard to get and so many too?

I will let you know after I play it out a bit. It JUST launched. Too soon to make judgement. Right now, it is difficult… does not mean can’t be done. But I am also waiting to get more results on the Shielded PeterCraft.

True, and its only a skin so doesnt bother me….much. they shoulda just make him premium. I guess they r testing out if people will spend clams after putting effort into the skin and dont want all their hard work to go to waste cuz if its premium then its a no right of the bat for most people. Just my opinion.

The planet is poor anyway. Its 4 teleporter energy, 4 hours, and you can only send guinan, troi, and hebert (the other 4 are the ones from this phase whose items you are trying to get on the planet anyway).
It also has the same old crappy crew effect the others had. Any combination, or all of them does the same thing and you end up with the crappy basic crystal currency as the most likely outcome.
Not bad for a 100 clam premium purchase, eh?

Will agree. I have said in previous comments, based on the math, that the expectation of 42 items using the same method that already was stressed from having to obtain 35 items each for Locutus and Lois was pushing it, and added to that the second method for Quags was a premium slot, thus making it more items with less freemium options, made it near impossible, even with 21 days remaining (keeping in mind that Data’s section will also probably add another PeterShip Laser battle item into the mix). I said NEAR impossible, but each day moves that closer to 100% certainty.
My conclusion has been to simply skip over Quags completely and compensate by moving characters more into areas that he normally would have been used. Also still collecting items for him using any remaining Quahog characters not being used for anything else right now (doing so just in case TinyCo suddenly improves the odds on Quags Condoms as they adjusted for Spanish Peter). This maximizes freemium payout and relieves stress at a time that focus should be put on the main questline (Locutus, Crusher) and the future big prizes (Data, and Kirk?).
Hope this analysis helps others. Ladies, you have done a wonderful job doing something wholly from your hands to ours, please keep up the good work and don’t get discouraged. 🙂

Its a lot of comments in here, but also many others stating they are getting them too. Thing I noticed is they are harder to see when they pop up compared to the Synthesizer, but you will notice when they gather to the top right of your screen.
Here is one from when I tested last night. You see all the other items very well… I almost missed the Hypospray until I looked at the Screenshot close.

To add to this, I noticeed that the hyposprays, the q-tip things, and the skinny items for Locutus are all like this against the busy Enterprise background. BUT I also noticed it with Locutus’ Duct Tape-like item (somehow I went from 6 to 8 and never saw those two on screen). Seems to be a function of image vs. background.

thats exactly what was happening. Good call. I cleared the check mark over Troi, got a green ore. Then just as I was about to close the app I saw a hypospray go flying to the top. Apparently it’s time for bifocals or something. Getting old!

I’ve not gotten any in about 10 clears since upgrading the warp core – I wonder if it is tied to advancing the main quest (i’m still working on laser pointers) – I have gotten the green cubes a few times from clearing, but zero hyosprays

Is Beverly sitting there with the padlock over her waiting to be unlocked? So her item Materials are triggered? If so, then you just got to keep trying. They are not as frequent as the Synthesizer but will drop. Tested it MANY times with both Deanna and Worf.
If you do not have the questline to the point Beverly’s area is unlocked and triggered her Materials… once you get there the game will recognize the new items being needed in the game play.

I feel like I am playing the game from behind all the time. I have not unlocked Lois or Lococtus….so, now having two more to unlock is going to suck. The drops for these people are just plain silly. If you want people to have fun playing the game, I understand, but I am not playing to spend real money on this stuff to make it faster. Tiny Co., please decrease the rarity of the drops for the older costumes or characters when you unlock a new area, that would help a lot.
