Tracking Star Trek Fleet Command's Primes | Which Ones You Can Get For Free & Which Need A Free Path

Hey @everyone and welcome back to another episode of things i wish were easier to keep track of in STFC. Today we're going to discuss the Primes in Star Trek Fleet Command. Which ones have a free path (reminding Scopely that ALL of them need a free path eventually) and of course a spreadsheet that you can use as a community to quickly check for yourself.

Topics covered:
1. Shout-out to Silvis for doing a lot of the legwork on the spreadsheet. You're a king!
2. Primes from each research tree and how to obtain them/their costs
3. Advice for Dolamide particles
4. If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

Absolutely, there needs to be a f2p route for Primes along with everything else in the game, extra docks, ability to research more than 1 at a time etc, but as we know Scopley (the overlords) couldn't care less about f2p which is a shame

[brianhyman]

I know the Voyager training provides a path to prime particles, but the trade commerce step is just too slow. I’m on about 9k out of 100k and I’m a daily player at this rate it will be 2025 before I complete this step. Scopely could get some goodwill back from the community if they reduced this to a more realistic 20-25k.

Every prime (and ship and feature etc etc) needs ftp sourcing on DAY 1!!! I don’t care if it takes 1000 fancy particles and you give me a path to one per day. You just need some kind of sourcing so I can make an educated decision regarding whether to pay to get it sooner!

[hellwolfz]

I would suggest that they make prime particles free with the 1 or 2 Allegiance boxes. so it should take you from 2-4 months to get a full unlock to research on one of the primes and then grind for the next one. At this rate with the drop of primes, a F2P will never catch up. I would even put some prime particles on the battle pass at the end and also the season pass. this now gives more F2P an opportunity to keep a good pace on the research. Not a hard idea & plan to make all primes for free.

Please add Prime Dolamide Particles to voyager’s refinery.

[royalder]

Hold off on getting the $5 Prime Efficient Ship Parts and $5 Prime Efficient Engineering packs in the store. Wait until in your 40s when the full unlock packs appear. Save yourself the $$

@revdeuce Would you be able to do an updated Prime ranking video? Thank you,

[jaymewebster]

I pay somewhat but the primes do eventually need a free to play

[Andouille-ep]

Hints were given the paid primes particles will be in the paid battlepass next arc so there we go guys

[shawnnoyes]

Pay to progress (or pay to catch up for people who joined later) is fine... but everything should have a free-to-play path. Also, something like the whip could have a FtP version as well... that you can't buy, but a spender could end up with 2...

Getting the prime particles from the voyager tree is literally a year away. The insignia requirements actually block the ability to obtain the prime particles in the last leg

[heathgleason]

I just did my last territory prime F2P the other day

[Irishluck]

i agree with you on the primes- need a free to play

[voidspawn]

As a FTP player, I want everything to have a FTP path

[MooMooYagga]

I completely agree on the free to play options, whatever they may be!

[john-davidspringmann]

Everything should have a f2p path. 6-12 months seems pretty reasonable. Primes, skins, ships, and officers. Also, packs should not disappear, like ever, till purchased.

[ChefRaz]

Everything in this game needs a ftp path!!! Scopely you need to listen to this!

[warmarkshyuman]

Definitely every prime needs a free to play path !!!

[Laura-rtzu]

Yea give us the primes!!!! All the research I have left to do now are the primes and each one is $99.99 that I don’t have and I’m not paying. Another thing how about making all the gift chest bigger and giving us poor things under level 44. Some extra resources that the big whales don’t get.
