Gameplay-Strategy #14 - Galaxy Quirks

In STFC, there are several places on the galaxy map that are different, unique, or just odd in how it acts. Some of these can be an advantage to other players, especially if others don't know about them. Here are some interesting quarks of the galaxy that I can came across:


System Area Warp
Required
Information

Wolf (39)
Federation 40 This area is unique area as it allows for "pocket mining" of Gas (Groombridge 34 (40)) and Latinum (Barnard's Star (38)) using ships with a Warp range of 8 for Barnard's Star, and Warp 27 for Groombridge. The warp 40 limit to the area reduces the hassle of mining in the area, but requires a Warp 40 ship to enter and leave the area. This limits Swarm and Borg activity if based in Wolf. Wolf also has Explorer Hostiles, making Pike/Moreau/Chen a good crew for grinding, especially during a Faction Hunt.

See Faction Hunt

Romii (38)
Romulan 40 Mining 3* Gas in Romulan space?
Usually the Federation is associated with Gas, Romulan with Crystal, but there is a single system near Romulus that has 3* Gas nodes.

Ty'Gokor (39)
Klingon 53 This area is hard to get to, but spawns only trade ships LVL38-40. This area also has a higher PVE loot chest yield than other systems of similar level. 

Borg Transwarp20 These systems require special warp tokens to access, but have a higher mining base rate (5x), and huge nodes (1m). Due to this, it is an easy way to get a stock of materials built up.

See Lucrative 3* Transwarp Systems

Rogue Transwarp20Simular to the Borg Transwarp systems, these systems require special warp tokens to access that can be gained from the Rogue faction store. Mining nodes in these systems have a higher mining base rate (2x), and larger node sizes (27k). Due to this, it is an easy way to get a stock of materials built up.

See Rogue Warp Tokens

Pareleon (26)
Area Pareleon contains Explorer ships for the Separatist Bosses. These ships are strong, but are only energy weapons, making Pike/Moreau/Chen an excellent crew for grinding these hostile ships

See Separatist Event

Roda Gamma (29)
Borg      Roda Gamma contains Borg probes that rarely fires energy weapons, making Pike/Moreau/T'Laan an excellent choice for hitting hostiles, without taking much damage. This system is special because the unique firing pattern of the hostiles, and the ability to hit many targets for more cargo.

See Probe Hunt Testing

Groombridge (40)
Federation     40Groombridge not only has 3* Gas nodes, and is difficult to get to (needs Warp 40), it also contains LVL40-41 Mining ships that yield 4* Broken Survey Parts or 4* Broken Explorer Parts. This is one of the systems to contain hostiles that can be destroyed without going to Dark Space.

Ursva (40)
Klingon     40Similar to Groombridge, but containing 3* Crystal nodes, it has LVL40-41 hostiles which yield 4* Broken Survey Parts or 4* Broken Explorer Parts.
