@@Shaquillepopeil Thanks for watching! I hope to return to recording very soon. In the meantime I would be happy to take a look at your copy of the spreadsheet to see why it is throwing and error. If you want to share read-only access with me at dangevinstt@yahoo.com or you can drop in our CAB discord at discord.com/invite/WNTEe7TD and post a screenshot then I can help.

Floor model tv. You must be young

@@zahlenfan Thanks for the feedback! I will take a look into this. There was a lot of strangeness among the items with same name but different thumbnails, certainly worth a second look. For more dialogue and screenshots please use the public areas on our discord discord.com/invite/PAqecze4

@@obsidian1564 You're welcome!

The video description has a link for you

@@dangevin Thanks! I looked on the website.....

@@cjt217 There are some drawbacks to keeping crew who need equipment up like this. My OCD took a long time to get over the yellow dots, and crew constantly being pushed to the top of Default View, for instance!

@@obsidian1564 The last Critical Chronitons video has some coverage, but I can do a run through of the basics. Thanks for watching!

@@cjt217 A true case where I would probably take the star on an older crew.

I'd forgotten this, thanks for the note! I'm impressed that they are still modeling new ships at all, for better or worse.

Thanks for your kind words! I'm covering the offerwall in today's Log so stay tuned. Nothing comprehensive, but www.bigbook.app/help will get you most of the way there.

@@dangevin Thanks for the “alternative game” show! 1. I strongly agree with your approach. 2. Since offer walls are not available (at least for the present) on iOS my solution was to buy a cheap used Google Pixel phone. 3. Tapjoy has had a controversial hx. A couple of years I was trying to get rewards for playing Scopely’s Lower Decks. The game did nothing but crash at level six when but rewards came at level seven. Many reviewers Google Play store said the same thing. I complained ti Tapjoy and its bot said, “You didn’t reach level seven-no reward.” 4.Hundreds of thousands have complained to Tapjoy (according to a 2021 FTC investigation). 5.Tens of thousands have complained to the Better Business Bureau about paid offers that provided noting. 6.A final FTC settlement in March 2021 required that Tapjoy evaluate all game providers for 10 years. Its implementation is a question on “a low-quality or broken offer.” (I’ve been waiting five weeks on the one I submitted in May. (In my opinion performance by Tapjoy has improved since IronSource bought the company in May 2022. 4.On some I can get rewards from a newly installed game, delete, and when available again I can install it and get rewards. 5. If I give my true age (elderly player) on surveys they end immediately, so lie. (The one that never works is a survey by Tapjoy on Tapjoy. ) 6. Offers from portals that are supposed to pay off after for 35 minutes of play have provided bupkis. 6. I like Shadow Legends, but I have never found the tips on CZcams videos to get the five star characters that are needed for dilithium to work. Caveat emptor: Free dilithium is worth the effort but it is a jungle out there.

@@OliverDavis-o1e Thanks for writing! Glad you found my videos, it's been a lot of fun putting them together.

@@cjt217 I wasn't interested until I took a closer look at Morphing Vadic. It also lets me free up the slot I keep for purple Vadic to solve nodes. M.V. is just so much better than face value.

@@stancask5335 Yeah, he is so far above alternatives that I don't think we will see him topped anytime soon. Really safe retrieve.

@@WillBits I was getting a bit worried there towards the end, ngl.

Check your Continuum Mission rewards after the game day turns over tonight, usually 1am eastern US time. Should be replacing the Epic behold prize.

It's Gorn...a big lump with knobs

He *does* have the juice. Thanks for tellin' me all about it.

Absolutely! I will work this in soon.

lorem ipsum

I would love to see a Legends pack replace the behold, great idea. I probably don't think that the devs are looking to redo the event threshold rewards, though. Seems like a lot of effort to rebalance when the only thing really wrong is the final prize. As far as a value upgrade...the old Premium pack has become so devalued that this move would really be fixing that. With FBB raining honor and the Premium packs being so crappy, I don't even bother to finish thresholds on Galaxy anymore unless I want the gold.

Hey great question. Short answer is, I earn more Cites each Honor Sale than I use in the three months between. So it just adds up over time. Before Fleet Boss Battles I typically got 500k honor per quarter, more recently with a strong, active fleet hitting Feet Bosses hard, I have been nearly doubling that. So my cite hoarding has really kicked into high gear lately!

@@dangevin Fleet Boss Battles? i didnt know you could collect honor? how does that work?

@@johnriley7189 They are a fantastic source of Honor if you are able to contribute large amounts of damage. Hitting max damage threshold on each Ultra Nightmare boss is 1200 honor, and strong fleets achieve this twice daily. Some fleets farm Hard bosses which can pay out 800 per, and they can defeat 4 or more of these daily, as well. Your mileage will vary!

@@dangevin Thank you!!

Loving Trek Time too!

I think there are some honest efforts to control for some of the randomness, but in the end the had too many ideas and the solution for each seemed to be "roll some more dice."

@@dangevin They started asking over a year ago would players like a voyage or gauntlet-based event type. I suspect they realized either system on their own did not provide enough depth for an event and so cannibalized what they could from both systems to avoid extensive asset/UI work, which might be beyond their capabilities at this point.

A bargain

Yeah, the one thing that didn't really come across is that I am excited to see how this turns out. Having yesteryear's tier 1 crew get a new life means established players will start with a leg up, and the crew this boosts aren't among the most awful (cm featuring Wyatt Earp, Bynars and Dehner is laughable) so all-around good kickoff here.

This will be a success for the devs. Currently Gauntlet is optional and proficiencies really did not matter. Making these crew matter for weekend events really brings it all together and will drive engagement without asking anything too new of players. If this unfolds the way I anticipate, that is!

Thanks for watching!

She may be the MVP! Still know nothing about seating, featured skills, and hopefully some other twist to keep things interesting (like current events have featured personas and skills).

@@dangevin I suppose it is also possible (and indeed likely) that this event and/or whichever event immediately precedes it will have some kind of super-busted Voyage / Guantlet juggernaut that just absolutely bashes the event wide open by itself.

@@WillBits I hope for players' sake that it will be a giveaway for which players can earn 4/5 stars. I fear it may be RNG gated like Black. Either way the devs have a few ways to release these. The EV Suit Gorn we designed a couple of dev streams back will be a Continuum exclusive and a great candidate for this as we chose for it to have good proficiencies.

I started to go into the Cite Planner but wound up cutting it for time. It can do a fair job for certain rosters and it is clear the DC team has put time and care into improving it. However the fundamentals of honing a roster are what I would rather teach, than to just rely on the "easy button."

@@dangevin This seems like a worthwhile topic for a future video - deep dive using pros and cons of each method, going all the way through (but maybe editing such that you're presenting a list at the start of the video of "crew I'm considering citing") to a final decision or at least showing how you whittle down a list of 10+ crew in consideration to maybe the top two or three that you would actually cite up!

@@abernethyj Hm, put my money where my mouth is? I like it.

Snake, Rattle and Roll! One of Rare's first before they went on to redefine genres with Donkey Kong Country and Goldeneye 007.

@@dangevin thank you
