Key crew combinations to use of the bridge of ships for various purposes.
Following are recommended officer combinations for specific tasks. Some
may not be the very best as it sometimes can depend on your specific
situation.
In any case, these are good options to use and for you to
adjust/adapt accordingly.
The following are the captain and officer teams for hostile grinding
Christopher Pike
Marlena Moreau
Jean-Luc Picard
Beverly Crusher
Cadet Nyota Uhura
Cadet Leonard McCoy
The following officers can be used with any of the above captain teams for hostile grinding
Grace Chen
She is the ultimate destroyer of energy only hostiles (Explorer and Survey type hostiles)
T'Laan
Good against Interceptor and Battleship type hostiles, T'Laan reduces the damage taken from their kinetics but will still take damage from energy weapons.
Cath
The new improved T'Laan. Cath does the same thing T'Laan does but slightly better. Only challenge is to max her in order to beat a maxed T'Laan.
Jaylah
Jaylah specializes in killing swarms while in a Franklin or Franklin-A
The following setup is for specifically for G3 epics who still have trouble to kill L49 heavy transports and works especially well for Augurs: Beverly Crusher (Captain), Harcourt Fenton Mudd(the thin one) and T'Laan/Khan (depending on your power)
Eclipse Armadas are different from other armadas in that they fire a lot of critical hits. Stellas have massive advantage over other ships when fighting Eclipse armadas. The following crews can help specifically for Eclipse armadas.
William T. Riker
James T. Kirk
Spock
James T. Kirk
Spock
Khan Noonien Singh
James T. Kirk
Spock
Gaila
Christopher Pike
Marlena Moreau
Gaila
Five of Eleven
James T. Kirk
Spock
Five of Eleven
Six of Eleven
Nince of Eleven
Note: Gaila decreases the damage
from the critical hits.
Having four max level Gailas in the armada team
can reduce the armada critical hits to 0.
As such, the Kirk, Spock and
Gaila combinations require that exactly 4 ships carry that combination
with the remaining ships geared for damage.
The Pike, Moreau
& Gaila combination can have the same effect with only 2 ships
carrying that combo but due to not having Spock's shield regeneration
capabilities, these 2 ships will most likely not survive the armada.
Warning:
Having more than 4 ships carry Gaila can be disastrous as the 5th Gaila
onwards does not contribute to the battle and because no heavy hitters
(Khan or Riker) means the armada doesn't get destroyed fast enough
before the fleet is destroyed.
Warning: Do not have the Kirk, Spock & Gaila in the same armada as Pike, Moreau & Gaila combination. These 2 combinations will not work together and will result in Gaila's critical hit reduction ability being reduce.
The Vidar is the best ship to deal with the Borg. When facing a Borg Armada the Vidar will deliver massive amounts of damage that can be even more than what a G4 ship can deliver. The following crews can help specifically for Borg armadas.
William T. Riker
James T. Kirk
Spock

Khan Noonien Singh

Crewing based on your own ship is when you don't know what ship you are going up against and will be crewing based on what is best for your own ship.
TOS James T. Kirk
TOS Nyota Uhura
Honorguard Worf
Gabriel Lorca
Honorguard Worf
Khan Noonien Singh
Saru
Georgiou
Ash Tyler
Yuki Sulu
John Harrison
Khan Noonien Singh
James T. Kirk
Spock
Honorguard Worf
Khan Noonien Singh
Kirk, Spock & Khan or Kirk, Spock and Honorguard Worf are excellent general combinations that can be used on any ship.
The above are suggested crew for each ship. They may not necessarily be the best for your particular situation due to various reasons such as levels of your offices and research. You may need to adjust the crew based on ship ability, crew synergies and officer abilities. If Honorguard Worf is not available, he can be substituted using Khan Noonien Singh or a synergy crew.
Crewing based on enemy is used when you know exactly which ship you are going to be fighting. Following are the crew to use if you face following specific ships:
Alexander Marcus
Kang
Liviana Charvanek
Mirek
Krell
L'Nar
Yuki Sulu
Yan'agh
Add a crew member that helps activate your own ship's special fighting ability (if applicable).
A high level Khan is a good alternative to any of the above officers.
Following are the recommended crew when attempting to crack a base.
Rom
James T. Kirk
Honorguard Worf
Khan Noonien Singh
Otto
James T. Kirk

If there is a stubborn warship that is difficult to kill in the base, then, depending on the ship type, replace Joachim with Marcus/Kang/Chavarnek.
The following crew can be used in the survey ships for draining the base after it has been defeated. This is assuming you only run either 1 Amalgam or 1 regular survey ship or you run 1 amalgam/regular survey ship plus a second survey ship.
