Is the USS Discovery Still Relevant For Star Trek Fleet Command in 2024? | New Player Must Watch

I'm ops 37 and I only use the discovery to summon a ship to an armada and to bypass the Mantis ability that prevents a ship from warping. A ship debuffed by the Mantis can still be summoned by the discovery.

This boat still has great usability.
See someone opc? Jump,taxi and 💥. Ohhh there's also 3 players in here with donuts?? Welllll then😏

One of the biggest injustices done by scopley. The discovery in the series was a massive factor in the war and a fantastic ship... and then scopley got hold of it

Amazingly useful to me. Mine is maxed 🙂 I'm 43, so use the disco to get my miners to 4* areas quickly, then recall them to base if necessary 🙂 Appreciate the crew as that will reduce my consumption. Keep em coming mate 🙂

Only use it on a Sunday now so I can get the speed ups but was very useful when I 1st got into g4 getting miners onto the g4 nodes

Both of my maxed discos have farther warp range than my T7 valdore and kelvin. So I use disco to summon them in to G5 armadas.

I’m lvl 42 , it is currently my best warp ship with warp 161 with warp crew

To me the Disco is a valuable ship. I have two of them.

More relevant than the Borg Cube, Titan, Franklin-A, and Defiant. All of which as a level 49 I NEVER use.

If you are fairly hardcore free to play you can expect to take about 1 3/4 - 2 years to get it to max tier with it's research, if you don't grab extra material from the mega events, I feel that is important to note. I'm on server 87 and just finished mine at ops 45.

I am level 55. I used to use every day in the high 40's and low 50's to get miners into 5* space. Now, I rarely use it. Between the superhighway and the limited warp range and 5* ships, it is rarely utilized. The fessha has a much greater warp range and makes a better scout.

If the warp range was not locked behind a paywall, it would be used a lot more, but the paywall is not worth it. In fact, because so much is now being locked behind paywalls, and not offered during event stores, i have drastically cut my spending (~80%). You csn definitely tell who the spenders are and who are ftp (mostly) in the mid 50's+.

Value... well, it certainly helps getting to deep space armadas, sometimes I'll warp out just so I can target them and forget it. Worst part about DS armadas - Starting Player: Come join my armada at this location in space. Joining Player: "Hmm, I cant follow the GPS, so I'll get to the area and then maybe I'll look around for your armada." Cmon, they sent GPS coordinates, I should be able to send and join with those coordinates. At this point, what's the fog of war really protecting. Eliminate the fog for all <50 systems.

How do we get the section 31 skin? Can’t find it in the store. I’m stuck on 55/80 😢

What if you pay the $99.99 to get the discovery?

absolutey worth it

Still use Disco if someone starts an Armada Deep Deep Space to get my ship 1/2 there and then use warpdrive of regular ship to shorten the time....

Currently Lorca is one of my most used officers, the skin would be very useful for me. Unfortunately it's impossible to get the skin these days... Haven't spend those recruit tokens in months maybe over a year depends on when the last time they ran an event for spending them last. Also my disco needs more warp range... And no I'm not giving $copely money for it

At Ops35, I have yet to find use for it. I'm guessing that may change after I get to Dark Space at Ops 38...maybe.

Anyone else wonder why they failed to include the Borg Cube skills on the Starship Skill Tree since all other ships are found there?

Still use it if in a rush to get to an armada or if running late to recall my ship from DS for territory defence. The skin is worth it for Lorca (given he is part of the PVP META with Carol Freeman and HG Worf), however not essential per se and still not easy to actually source that skin presently.

The worse u can do is to max out discovery… it’s taking longer than getting it to t4 and getting summoning then maxing it out. Do not waste your time maxing disco till u don’t have a summoning!!!

Thank you the video was very helpful 🙂👍

I'm ops 39 and most missions of open space I do with Discovery, never disapointed me. But I'm still far of maxing. Maybe It is time to focusing on it

Another ship scopely got greedy with for people level 50+. Need primes to make it relevant again and multiple prines at that

I was playing during the Disco arc, so the rewards from that arc made maxing it not seem difficult at all. That said, for newer players without that advantage it is a real grind. Scopely should consider efficiency research for both the Spore Drive components and D’Vor parts to allow new players to catch up on both of those relatively important pieces of content easier. I can’t imagine sales of either of those are significant these days, at least compared with the number of people who simply give up on the ship.

It is a very useful ship. You really should have demonstrated the ability. The graphics if you are zoomed in on the ship and you summon/slash jump the disco home is pretty cool as well. Same effect as in the show.

thanks, Rev! Also a great way to get your Tier 6 Borg Cube to a system that can charge your cutting beam faster.

In reference to the grind aspect of the discovery. I think the discovery was my second cosmic cleanup ship unlocked and at ops 42 I still have not maxed the ship even doing anomalous phenomenon every week. I am also an extremely light spender, but not pure f2p. Just unlocked tier 8 on the ship, the summoning research slowed down the ship progression quite a bit as i had to hoard disco parts for a few months.

ops43 and its really useful for me. only downside, once you max the ship, you still gain spore drive components in the pulls. pointless keeping that in the pulls when maxed, unless the disco will get a update to tier 12, where we can use all this components we hording now.

I keep my Disco with the mentioned crew on Dock G at all times. It has saved my Talios while OPC hunting in territory many times. Ninja vanish! 😎👍

Ops 47 player here. I still use the Disco on a routine basis. The G3 miners are my main mining ships until I can get a Nova and only have one of the G4 miners. I am at the point where my Disco can get my all the way up to those first few systems in G5 space, which is great when I want to quickly relocate my base to do some rep grind as I get to the second faction lock for each of the FKR factions. The best thing with the Disco is the daily speedups that you get after ops 40 and those help out a lot for F2P players and even light spenders. The biggest thing I will use Disco for at this point is getting a ship to an alliance armada in time if we are in a crunch or hopping to systems I know with Epic DS armadas to scout for the next armada to run.

I use it almost every day!

It makes the Mantis sting ability useless to keep a pvp hostile in the sector....
Can't warp out...no problem...disco out.
I think the Mantis should override it...but then there'd be that group that screams "OP!"...
Sorta like when whales got swarmed by the ol' realta burn crews.

Actually the cloak comes in handy at takeovers. Cloaked Disco in the system and your ships get back in seconds. Just have to do more cloaking research yet. Because she ain't a fighter. Thanks for the video btw. I wish I had it about 6 months ago because I stopped upgrading the ship a T4 to invest everything into research which I no know was stupid. Ah and I didn't know I could summon ships further than their warp range. That's really neat.

(F2p)ops 50 got 2 and use both every day definitely needs a overhaul especially the mining nodes gotta be what nearly 4 yrs and they haven’t increased the mycelium nodes shame🔔 scopley,change the chest pulls I.e 6 chests to 7 days worth rather than 4 days with an extra chest every 24 weeks cuz that’s annoying Definitely needs a f2p route for the new prime add it in the chest pulls but not that it takes 2+ yrs to get

USS DISCOVERY is 100% irrelevant, and boring why don’t they just rename the ship to USS Burnham coz it’s all about her

You mentioned the section 31 refit but I have not seen it for sale in YEARS. How do we get it? It was in a couple of event stores way back when and at this point I've even caved in and said I'll pay for the dang thing, but it's never in the store.

What gives?! @rev please can you get scopely to put it in the pay store 😂

I'm 46 pushing 47 and I still think its a useful ship; though you do need the summoning research asap. Great when you don't have the 4* miners (because you have better things to spend faction credits) on and the speedups are useful when its maxed.

Does the cloak drop when you summon or it stays up?

ty for the video and llap Rev Deuce!

Unlock tripp tucker??????????? I dont ahve that choice!

I'd argue Franklin A is important again, since a Jaylah loot crew can help a player access Xindi faster.

I feel the recent Disco primes increased its usability in later game.

I have two maxed out Discovery's and currently have two levels of the Prime Discovery Warp Range. I really like it for "summoning" quickly between one ship way in deep space while the other is at home. Helps for Mining Monday, for sure, moving a Feesha back and forth quickly.

SDCs are surely the major buttleneck for the Disco, butt I have to say that uncommons are STILL a big buttleneck for all other ships unless you have a flow going in the Bajoran faction store already (and that's not before Ops 35).

Use mine as a uber all the time

I started STFC around May 2023 and have NEVER recruited a Discovery chest. Why? Because the Section 31 skin increases your shard pull by 50% as well as adding Lorca to the pool. As RD stated, it is a long grind as well as the officer collection. So the skin isn’t a meh in my book. It’s necessary to catch up to those who’ve been around STFC for years. So I’m still waiting for the disco skin to be released!!!

Pro tip - if you are camping at ops 39 for a while, save your Disco refinery turn ins and you'll be able to pull those big speedup pulls every single day for quite a while, because you'll keep amassing them every week. Huge benefit when you unlock a bunch more research at 40.

dont know how many times i have had a base raid ruined by a discovery porting in a whale

Disco needs more range.
