Q & A

Why should players never buy items at full price from the Muds Market?

Players should avoid buying items at full price because MUDs items and standalone ships typically go on sale every few months with a 75% discount. It’s better to wait for the sale and save Zen.

What is the importance of checking the event reclaim window before purchasing items in Muds?

The event reclaim window allows players to check if they already own an item, as some old event rewards are not flagged in the interface, meaning you could buy the same item again by mistake.

What is the focus of the video and the items discussed?

The video focuses on MUDs, items, and ships that are worth the investment, with a focus on those that offer the best value for the majority of players, particularly in terms of performance and utility.

Which item from the Crystal Harmonic Space Set is the most valuable?

The most valuable item in the Crystal Harmonic Space Set is the Warp and Singularity Cores. They are particularly beneficial for high-DPS builds, as they generate Tholian Warp Crystals that can deal damage or grant secondary shields.

Is the Rise Weather Control Vessel worth the 4,250 Zen price?

While the Rise Weather Control Vessel is pricey, its value mainly comes from the Neutronic Eddy Generator console, which is still effective in Exotic Particle Generator (EPG) builds, despite being nerfed. However, for most players, it may not be the best option.

What are the benefits of the Hispanian Intel Battle Cruiser?

The Hispanian Intel Battle Cruiser is highly praised for its console and starship trait, which provide buffs for exotic damage and disruptor builds. However, at 4,250 Zen, it is considered overpriced compared to other ships and may not be the best value for most players.

Why is the Pavo Space Set considered a top choice for many players?

The Pavo Space Set is highly valued because it includes the Pavo Omni Beam, currently the highest-performing Omni Beam in the game. It offers excellent synergy with Firewheel and Cannon Scatter builds and works with Cannon Scatter Volley (CSV), making it an excellent choice for high-DPS builds.

What makes the Imperial Rift Space Set popular among exotic build players?

The Imperial Rift Space Set is popular because of its powerful two-piece set bonus, which significantly boosts exotic damage critical severity. This makes it especially beneficial for science builds that focus on exotic particle generator (EPG) damage.

How does Sylvia’s Feline Charm improve gameplay?

Sylvia’s Feline Charm grants a speed and jump height buff, allowing players to move faster and jump higher on the ground. It can be used outside of combat and lasts up to 60 seconds, making it a great quality of life improvement for ground content.

Why is the Nadarian Defender considered an essential ship for event TFOs?

The Nadarian Defender is unique because it transforms into the Jellyfish mode, providing area defense by damaging enemies and healing allies within 10 km. This makes it extremely effective in event TFOs where defense and support are key, making it a valuable asset for many players.

What is the best ship, ground item, and space item recommended in the video?

The video recommends the Nadarian Defender as the best ship due to its utility in event TFOs, Sylvia’s Feline Charm for the best ground item to improve speed and mobility, and the Pavo Space Set for its high performance in space combat.
