    Meh, another ship I'd like to have but will never own. Good luck to those trying.

    Yes, this is fine and dandy. If I get either the Connie or the Klingon ship, I'm either never going to sell it on the Exchange and only on the trade channels, or simply trade it for a Romulan Kelvin Carrier or some other ship that comes out in the future.

    I've no intention of ever using it though, since I never really liked the original Constitution design in the first place.

    I do need more mats though, so this times well for me. If I get one, great. If not, no big deal. Moreso since this will bring about a fresh Dilithium market crash, which I also need for upgrade purposes.

    I will admit I've enjoyed the schadenfreude that flowed freely since JJTrek made it into the game, with this adding a fresh wave. But regardless, a T6 Connie now exists, so it's simply a matter of people either putting up or shutting up now about it.

    At any rate, since this rules out the ships as a candidate for the 50th, I'm guessing either a T6 NX or T1/T6 Franklin or both, as it's likely that ST:B might also be celebrated during that time, separately from the earlier JJTrek, along with some other ST:B items. A T6 Sovereign would be nice, but I can live without it. Alternatively or in addition, they could also toss in the TRIBBLE lovechild of a Connie and a D7 that is the Discovery as another T1 (Fed) ship, and celebrate its impending release as part of the "Star Trek revival" movement.

    Good ol cryptic promoting gambling to minors and others with every lottery they can think of. Can't wait till the law hits them.

    The problem is that it's technically not a lottery. They added lobis years ago to make it "legal". You are in fact buying lobis with a chance to get something else...

    It would be 100% legal even without the lobi, because you cannot win any real world money or anything that can be exchanged for real world money.

    Stop the bloody queen spam already. It's not contributing and not fun to begin with.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    How do they expect to top this for the actual anniversary?

    ...uh oh. :fearful:

    T6 Sovereign lockbox?
  • angrybobhangrybobh Member Posts: 420 Arc User

    Those stats......wow the D7 looks spectacular. Well they all look good but the D7 with temporal and intel seating....possibly the best KDF ship.

    It's pretty much what could be expected. No surprises.
    Combonite is a bit cheesy, but then again the whole of TOS is cheese.

    It was interesting to see, but no sale ( no R&D sale to gain access to them) for me.
    Especially the TOS style ship design rubs me the wrong way.

    But unlike the Kelvin ships, this time we'll be able to other other costume parts on the ship, so you can modernize your ship design if you prefer it that way.

    Though I wonder how they pull it off to mix Connie and Connie Refit parts? I figure you can't actually mix & match parts there, but what about the other Tier 2 costume options?



    And the other problem - I want at least some, if not all, of these ships- but which character is supposed to fly them?

    I didn't expect it for free - but an R&D pack? Would have preferred a lockbox over that; the R&D packs are more expensive and the odds likely no better.

    So? Don't buy R&D packs just to get the ship. Use the money to sell keys and buy it with EC. 100% chance to get the ship.

    Huh?
    first, if anyone DID put a potential game winning RD ox on the exchange, how would you tell the difference between that one and one bought 6 months ago? the blog points out only newly purchased boxes have the chance. and een if you did buy one from the exchange the odds of it having the ship are exactly the same as all the others.

    If you look on the exchange, the boxes show you which ship you have a chance at. All very straightforward.

    It's a bit frustrating that such iconic ships are in an R&D box promo, but it's not like they are life necessities and there are plenty of reasonable, cheaper alternatives which give a good TOS theme.

    If everyone treats the TOS Constitution the same way they treated the Kelvin Constitution then the ship will be available on the exchange for a reasonable price. (the Kelvin Constitution is about 50 bucks right now)

    ...

    Instead of Rage restraint is called for.


    Let's be realistic here. The prices on the Exchange are not "reasonable". They're classic capitalistic styled "supply & demand". Anyone wanting to save up enough EC must first purchase the 500Z cap removal. The Dil to Zen exchange rate continues to increase, which means more grinding for individuals.

    Restraint isn't what's called for when a system engages the broken version of a capitalistic system rather than the one envisioned.

    Side question, how do the Temporal mechanics pan out? Worth it? I have not opened my Vengence yet to test.
    Have you tried the new forum on your phone?

    I have a feeling the only way that CBS would agree to a T6 TOS/TMP Connie' is a one time event, with a small enough percentage chance , that would keep the distribution small.

    ...Well then. This isn't how I expected this to happen.
