What are Transporter Patterns and How do I get them? | STFC

Summary

In this video, Blackhalfdan8 explains how transporter patterns work for players at Operations level 35 and below. He details how these patterns are earned by maxing out officers (rare or epic), and how they replace officer shards once an officer reaches rank 5. The video also clarifies that common or uncommon officers provide officer experience instead of shards once maxed. This guide is aimed at helping newer players understand how to source transporter patterns and how they impact progression in the game.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video is a clip from a larger video about a tier list for transporter patterns for operations level 35 and below players.
• 😀 The focus of the video is to explain what transporter patterns are and how to obtain them.
• 😀 Transporter patterns are received when players max out rare or epic officers, meaning they have collected the maximum number of shards required to reach rank five for that officer.
• 😀 Maxing out an officer does not require leveling them or ranking them up—just collecting the required shards for rank five completion.
• 😀 Once an officer is maxed out, players stop receiving shards for that officer and start receiving transporter patterns instead.
• 😀 The amount of transporter patterns received depends on whether the officer is rare or epic.
• 😀 For common and uncommon officers, when players max them out, they stop receiving shards and instead get officer experience.
• 😀 Players who have maxed out several officers will notice an increase in officer experience when doing standard pulls, as they are no longer receiving shards.
• 😀 The video is aimed at newer players who may be unfamiliar with transporter patterns and how they work.
• 😀 The explanation clarifies that transporter patterns are a progression reward for players who have reached the maximum shard collection for certain officers.

Q & A

What are transporter patterns in the context of the game?

Transporter patterns are items that players can collect once they max out an officer's shards. These patterns are used to progress with certain officers beyond their initial shard collection, and they become important for sourcing new officers or leveling up existing ones.

How are transporter patterns obtained?

Transporter patterns are obtained when a player maxes out the shards of an officer. This means acquiring the maximum number of shards needed to promote an officer to rank five, after which the player will receive transporter patterns instead of additional shards.

What does it mean to 'max out' an officer's shards?

To 'max out' an officer's shards means collecting the full amount of shards required to reach the officer's rank five, which is the final promotion for that officer. Once the max shard amount is reached, no more shards are awarded for that officer.

Do transporter patterns differ based on the officer's rarity?

Yes, the amount of transporter patterns awarded varies depending on whether the officer is rare or epic. Epic officers typically provide more transporter patterns than rare officers.

What happens if a player continues pulling for a maxed-out officer?

If a player continues pulling for a maxed-out officer, they will no longer receive additional shards. Instead, they will begin to receive transporter patterns or officer experience, depending on the officer's rarity.

What happens when a common or uncommon officer is maxed out?

When a common or uncommon officer is maxed out, players no longer receive additional shards. Instead, they start receiving officer experience, which can be used to level up other officers.

What is the significance of maxing out officers in the game?

Maxing out officers is significant because it unlocks the ability to earn transporter patterns, which are essential for progressing with certain officers and enhancing their abilities. It marks the completion of the officer's shard collection and unlocks new rewards.

How does maxing out an officer affect a player's progress in the game?

Maxing out an officer affects a player's progress by providing them with transporter patterns, which are important for advancing to higher officer levels. This also shifts the focus from acquiring shards to gaining other resources like officer experience.

What is the relationship between officer experience and transporter patterns?

Officer experience is awarded when players pull for a common or uncommon officer that has already been maxed out, whereas transporter patterns are awarded when rare or epic officers are maxed out. Both resources are vital for leveling up and improving officers.

Are transporter patterns only for high-level players?

No, while transporter patterns become more prominent as players reach higher operations levels, even newer players may encounter them once they begin maxing out officers. This progression is crucial for advancing through the game at any stage.
