Gameplay-Strategy #9 - Nova

Watch for the Nova graphics on the Galaxy map, as it indicates the Top 3 systems by activity. This can indicate activity due to an event, base raid, or mass PvP battle.

Nova graphics on the Galaxy map can indicate a lot of activity in a system. Typically a Nova graphic will show for the Top 3 systems in the galaxy at the time. This system appears to be driven by the number of attacks (not damage) in a system.

Events can heavily drive the Nova graphic to move:
- Borg Probe event made all three LVL25 Borg systems go Nova
- A large base raid will also move the Nova graphic

Event #8 - Borg Officers (Alliance)

1. Gain Shards - this is through Ultra Recruit Tokens or the Key Tokens that can be purchased or part of Borg event rewards.
2. Promote Officers - self explanatory
3. Kill Borg Probes - you get 1 point for alliance event for each probe, regardless of strength. But if you use a BORG office as Captain, you get an additional 5 points for a total of 6. Now the best crew and system for Borg Probes is L29 (Pike, Moreau, TLaan), but you can grind lots of 25's with One of Ten as captain.

This is not the most efficient way to get probes, but to compete as an alliance, its recommended that each member use ONE transwarp coil each day and use One of Ten and farm some 25's to help the alliance. A more appropriate Borg officer when you get them will also work.
