This one was a variation on "Ninth Rule". Same system too. Like the other patrol, this one took about 3 minutes in a DPS ship while learning the mechanics of the patrol. It feels "slower" than the other patrol, probably because there's more hopping around the map (just like Ninth Rule). The waves at the end are super easy compared to even a Normal Ninth Rule.

This one took about 3 minutes in a DPS ship while taking a tiny bit of time to learn the mechanics. Pretty easy and quick. This will likely be what I do to run the daily and just do it twice. I can probably shave it down to about 2 minutes once I know the map better.

I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

I wouldn't consider myself a DPS chaser either, since I haven't even parsed my ship builds in at least a year or two. However, I definitely follow the meta and know I have (or at least) had some high DPS when I did parse.

TLDR: Maybe not a DPSer, more like a fast-damage hobbyist.

How does this one feel, compared to other patrols? Sounds similar to the "Rescue and Search" patrol.

Hmmm... Good for speed-running like "Wanted"?

I'm getting used to it too. Trying to figure out the best "route" to take when I'm speeding from Cube/Octa and Emitter to next Cube/Octa and Emitter.

I'm kinda curious about the Badgey ground pet, but I don't want to drop Lobi on it because it might just be a vanity dud.

I have played the new TFO "Royal Flush" a couple times and found it to be reasonably quick for completion. It felt similar to the TFO with the multiple shipyards and genocidal Klingon lady.

I found it best to take on the TFO with a fast ship, preferably with good DPS. My Legendary Defiant made quick work of the various enemies at the waypoints. The final boss is basically just a repeat of the same eight kills you just made.

So, overall, decent TFO and I might see if I can Solo this TFO this weekend. I'll come back here to relay my take on the new Patrols in the next couple days.

It looks to be a ship that could be useful for many types of builds. Impressive, considering it's an Event ship.

Wow! You were quick posting this one. I just got here. LOL

I plan to try each of these and see how the feel with enjoyment, speed, and completion. Let's all come back here after release and discuss our thoughts on the new content!

Depending on the play/engagement of the new patrols, I'd recommend ReSB1 on solo private queue for its AFK potential. However, if the new content is fun to play OR can be fast/rewarding (like the Red Alerts), then I'll do those instead.

So, basically, character-bound non-reclaimable. Like the shotgun in that one Zen bundle.
