    I'm seeing a lot of differing opinions on if it is worth it or not to run mix-matched setups or lower-ships to lower your gear score for Team Deathmatch. From what the devs have said, we are allowed to try to lower our gear score, as long as you aren't going crazy like running an Mk1 with only 1 Legendary weapon.

    So what is working best for you to gain stars? Lowered score or normal setup?

    If lowering your score is working, what ships/combinations are you running that work well? High weapons and low blue items?

    I agree, but there are a lot of us that like to try to absolutely maximize our resource farming. I'm winning the most games with my normal setup, but I'm gaining the most stars with my lower setup. Really strange.

    I am running my normal setup as otherwise I wouldn't contribute as much to the rivalry quests I believe

    Unfortunately my normal setup won't help much with this week's board 4. I do think that will play a lot into what I use in the future though.

    I don't know about you but I won most of my matches with normal set up and lost all battles with low gear.

    I'm teetering back and forth between what to vote for. I'll do 3 stars one game and 0 the next with both setups. The gear score range is really wide. I had 8.5k gear score and got put in a game with Godlike with 12.5k gear score.... :(

    Beating newer players than my gear score provides would be kind of boring

    Tell that to people on the enemy team. I went against nightmare league players who purposely lower their gear score just to win. They seem to be enjoying it too.

    I find it easier to just play with my normal set up:

    1- Because im used to it
    2- Because I don’t have lower level stuff and I just have a mk2 fixer (the rest is mk6)
    3- I’m a pro anyway so it doesn’t really change anything :cool::p
