What are the Daily Challenge Goals?

Daily Challenges are new daily goals for players level 51+ that test your ship strength against M86/M87 V’ger hostiles. Completing them earns Challenge Credits and V’ger Challenge Track Points.

How many challenges are there each day, do they change, and how do I start them?

You receive three challenges each day:

• Easy Challenge

• Hard Challenge

• U.S.S. Excelsior Challenge (will show the day after building the USS Excelsior)

The Easy and Hard challenges rotate daily with new hostile targets or requirements.

The Excelsior Challenge stays the same each day.

To start your challenges, go to the Daily Goal screen after the daily reset to view the active challenge set. All Daily Challenges reset at the normal daily goal reset time.

What do I need to do to complete them?

You log in and open the Daily Goal screen to check the day’s active challenges, then adjust your crew to match the required mechanics. After that, you travel to the required systems and destroy the required number of V’ger hostiles. These hostiles, V’Ger Gorn Hunter , V’Ger Hurak Honorguard and V’Ger Silent enemy, are enhanced versions of older hostiles, rebuilt with new abilities, blacklisted officer rules, and difficulty scaling from levels 51–80. Each hostile has unique combat mechanics, Primary abilities that activate at the start of combat, Secondary effects that add pressure or timers, and specific counters that encourage different crew setups. They also ignore Cutting Beam and Chain Shot and punish the use of certain blacklisted officers.

Once the objectives are completed, you claim your Challenge rewards in the Daily Goal screen and then visit the V’ger Challenge Track screen to collect any milestone progress earned.

What types of challenges are available?

  • Easy Challenge: A simple requirement such as dealing a specific battle stat (e.g., Iso Damage) to certain V’ger hostiles.

  • Hard Challenge: Requires defeating stronger or higher-level V’ger hostile variants.

  • U.S.S. Excelsior Challenge: Requires using the U.S.S. Excelsior to defeat its special loop hostiles. This challenge will show only when the Excelsior has been built.
