Vi'dar and Vi'dar Talios

Vi'dar

The Vi'dar can first be built at level 25. It can be gotten through event stores, borg events or the Cosmic Cleanup event during battle passes every Saturday.

Once you've built it, you'll get 2 transwarp cells per day in the same place you get your 10 Minute, 4 Hour and 24 Hour chests. These allow access to borg systems, where you can find borg probes to farm for inert nanoprobes. These can be refined in the borg refinery, which will show up once you've built the Vi'dar. In the refinery, you can convert them to Charged Nanoprobes or Active Nanoprobes.

Active Nanoprobes are needed to upgrade borg officers.

Borg Refinery

Charged Nanoprobes are used to upgrade the Vi'dar, and can be traded for Klingon, Romulan, Federation or Independent credits and/or reputation.

Vi'dar Crews

As you start off with the Vi'dar, it makes sense to use 7 of 11 as captain, with 8 of 11 and 9 of 11 as side officers (they can be replaced by other borg as you level up). 7's captain ability is to give the ship a percentage chance to hit three times instead of once, and with 2 other borg on the crew, this is 90%. The following shows at what tier your Vi'dar will kill borg probes in the first round of combat if triple shot procs (so you take minimal damage).

At what level Vidar can 1 shot a borg nanoprobe with 7 of 11 as captain.

Once you have Pike and Moreau, or Picard and Beverly, you can switch over to hostile crew. For Borg Probes up to and including level 28, you should be using Pike(c)/Moreau/Chen or Picard(c)/Beverly/Chen. Probes from level 29 and up should be used with T'Laan instead of Chen (Pike(c)/Moreau/T'Laan or Picard(c)/Beverly/T'Laan).

Assimilated Ferengi Traders

In borg systems, you also have Assimilated Ferengi Traders flying about from time to time. These drop a special item, Latinum Antiques.

These are also in your Borg Tech Refinery, and have quite nice rewards when refined, which you can do once every five days.

You have a chance for any of the rewards at a given level, but may get none of any as well (you will always get something, but not all). It's all random here.

When you're normally farming borg, you should keep an eye out for these, but the easiest way to farm them is to sit in the hub between one of the sets of the borg systems.

Hub System Surrounding Borg Systems
Alta Metra Alpha, Beta, Gamma
Panak Roda Alpha, Beta, Gamma
Unoma Corta Alpha, Beta, Gamma
Arentar Sigma Carment, Beta Zetori, Zeta Gray

Just send your Vi'dar here, and let it chill while you're doing other stuff. Every couple minutes check for a trader flying about. If you see one, send in your Vi'dar and kill it. It'll take a transwarp cell, but you often have a bunch of these lying about beyond what you need to farm for your chests if you aren't doing max pulls every day.

Some things you should keep in mind:
1. Be wary if other players are farming in that system, they'll likely try to go straight for a probe and can beat you as you warp in.

2. Probes are only active for 10 minutes before they warp away, so if you're not checking back consistently it can despawn before you get it.

3. It'll take about 30 seconds to warp in, and a lot can happen in 30 seconds.

4. Probes spawn every couple hours, so don't expect to get back to back probes in any system.

Infinitus Skin

There is a skin for the Vi'dar which increases the amount of nanoprobes you get from killing borg probes by 50%. The only place to get this skin is during the occasional borg events that are run before battle passes. You can get 15 shards in each event, so you need four of these. As these events only run every few months expect quite some time before you'll get this skin.

Vi'dar Talios

What we know so far (will update as information comes in).

With the second month of the Borg arc comes a new ship, the Vi'dar Talios. This will be available free to play for every player with a Tier 9 Vi'dar. On day one of the arc you will get a mission that will get you half the blueprints. The second mission should be coming on day 8 of the arc. Therefore, you should have a full, free unlock of this in the second week of the arc if you have a max Vi'dar.

With this ship comes new Borg systems. These systems will be using the same currency as the old system, but have level 36-60 Borg ships in them, and will have much better sourcing of nanoprobes. Scopely is saying this will require many fewer kills then with the normal Vi'dar. It will also have a faster impulse speed than the normal Vi'dar, which should also cut down on the time.

Tiering the Ship

Upgrades to this ship will use charged nanoprobes, exactly like the normal Vi'dar components.

Refinery

There will be a new Borg refinery. All parts of the refinery replace the old one, so you will no longer have access to the old refinery. That being said, Scopely has said that the new refinery will have better rewards across the board, so it should be better.

Borg Expansion Cubes

These armadas should be fought by the ship. Click here for more information.

What Vi'dar Research Works with Talios?

Prime Borg Rewards and Prime Nanoprobes will continue to function. Assimilated Credit Yield does not. The Vi'dar exocomps from the Borg solo armada chests will not affect the new ship. Other research needs to be tested.

New Research

All this research is under the Starships Tree

Prime Research

The first prime will be given free to all players who finish both missions or purchase the Talios. The other you'll have to pay for.
