Use for tactical officers?

[Petralicious]

I'm in Act 2 and beat two of the big bads by now, and had this issue for quite a while. They just have nothing to do when their fleet mates are occupied doing actual useful stuff.

If only I could build more crew recruitment rooms to have multiple Crew Recruit IVs going on at the same time. Although even that seems useless now that I built the last Tier 5 I'll ever use (two Tier 5 fleets is enough, I don't expect my last 4 officers to get to 13 in time, and they're all stuck doing tech/replication anyways) and I'm sitting on 2000+ crew.

I did get some use out of having one fly to the last colonies I had not rebuilt but now they're mostly sitting there waiting for the engineering and science officers to finish their tasks before going out on their next mission and occsdionally doing some ground combat in the base.

I can't even set them to unimportant research anymore (like finishing off the Tier 4 upgrades) as it would take them 20-40 days to do so.

On another note, fuel.
I had massive struggles with it at first but once I setup a fully upgraded facility... well, I'm sitting on like 1500+ now and have nothing to spend it on.
Wish there was some economics system gain some rep with some factions and maybe some materials/matter.
Or just more use for it (boosting replicator output? Some buildings requiring it?).

Buuut that's a little too late now with Lightspeed around the corner I guess

Great i just start listening to my favorite streamer and playing my favorite game and now i have to put all that on hold to read this... no screw that bye

[MongooseCalledFred]

Have you set up all the drones? Have you gotten the Tactical legendary? (I think some of the tasks required might be tac intensive.)

Fuel: one of the rooms you apparently haven't unlocked requires heaps of it. I don't remember if 1500 is enough.

[Petralicious]

Yeah I used one of them to setup the 3 remaining colonies that generate crew but otherwise I have the entire sector drone'd up except for fuel plants.

And TAC legendary..? Hm, I have the one I started with, but you probably don't mean him (Corbain Lau; Doom Cannon).
Guess I'll see if anything pops up.

And one of those rooms is a precursor artifact or..? They all needed a small amount of materials and that's it (1500..? Or maybe 3000).
I'm getting the 3rd one shipped in and will soon get the 4th one as my main fleet is almost as strong as it will be (missing an equipable or two and a research or two) unless there's a secret tier 6 or something.

I did but I wanted to keep quests and a few things I've not yet discovered as a surprise so I've skipped quite a bit of it.

I tried to keep out spoilers so do it check out

[Petralicious]

Alright, I gave in and looked it up since I have literally everything in the game (except tier 5 for some equippables/consumables which I don't feel like RNG-grinding for) but the mothership fight done.
Thanks for being vague, it avoids spoilers.

But uh, is the Korzan quest for that last officer random? Do I just leave the game on autopilot and hope it pops up?

The quest is random, but you don't need it. Just kill 5-6 Chruul fleets in the Chruul sector (not on Portals).

oh nice

[Petralicious]

Just how the hell do you have that much of everything lol.
And how is your sector shrunk to the point the starbase approach is outside of it.
Wut.

Also yeah I have every room built and every facility fully upgraded.

I know I don't need it at all, but wanted to kind of "100%" the run.
Also nice, I got like 4 down already. Thanks for the tip.

if you want a 100% run you're going to have to wait around... a lot

[Petralicious]

All I'm missing, besides the legendary TAC officer, is a few consumables at tier V (got some on III/IV), which I'm not RNG-grinding for, and getting to 100 rep with the Yabblings, which I'm not really feeling like grinding since it'll be waiting for Chruul raids on them to generate while at the same time all these factions will be attacking eachother and making me lose rep for stopping the raids.
I've also killed off the Voraash so... I added it to the "complete" list.

And of course I have no idea how many random events there are so definetly not trying to get them all in one run.

Yes I even did every research.

if you let them get sieged to the last day you increase the chance they get mind controlled, then they wont attack each other
