A Phoenix Prize pack event would be nice...

edited September 2023 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
We just had a bonus dil weekend, we have a bonus upgrade weekend coming soonish, and the exchange is getting relatively high. Not bad for sellers, i sold 500 zen today for over 200k dil(413 per zen i think) but probably annoying for buyers. A PPP event would be very nice at this point. Sorry for this i was just kind of hoping for one and when it didn't happen I got a bit disappointed.

    Phoenix events don't roll around as often as other events, but it will come back around when they feel like running it again.

    I'm trying to save my dilithium as much as I can so I can buy some packs this time. Usually I make do with the free daily one.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    In answer to the thread title: A real life shuttle, purchasable from the C-store.

    As for the actual subject: would be nice if there was a Phoenix-event coming soon. Now that I can finally play on PC again, I'm eager to create some new characters and rethink some builds of older ones.

    For those that said they are not likely since the last one was fairly recent. They ran the last two times very very close to each other. In fact, the last one occured just days after a Dilitium Weekend Event ended.

    You can grind higher tier Phoenix tokens into lower tier. I believe you get 2 of the lower tier for each one.

    That's like grinding down a lock box ship token to 2 x lock box weapon tokens.

    I'll just hoard my shiny gold tokens, my precioussssss tokens, in the hope I can use them someday.

    Lucky or cursed depending on how you look at it :p

    I just want one Ultra Rare just so I can get a Bulwark but I've never gotten anything above Very Rare.

    64,000 dil worth of upgrade tokens for an Epic token isn't enough for me to trade my preciousssss, tricksy captain!

    They could add a 500,000 unrefined dil jackpot item to the Epic prize list. I'd consider that.

    We'll prolly get a Phoenix box weekend during the last week of the summer event. I personally am hoarding my Dil until the next one because 500 boxes have my name on them, lol. And if I get a few epic tokens that means more Kobali Samsar cruisers for more characters, lol. However I'm mainly in it for the upgrades. :)

    Given how long we had none, the absence of other reasons to log and in light of the upcoming upgrade weekend I bet we get one rather soonish.

    Most of the time we had upgrade weekends directly after Dil weekends so I’d place my bets on either next weekend or (if we can believe the calendar) near the end of the month.

    Part of my fun in this game is making independant ship projects without shared gear with another ship. That is of course expensive both to acquire and to upgrade the gears. Obviously not a cost-effective way to play game but gives me more fun and I can fly a different ship every day on the go with totally different setups. Especially on the upgrade part I am very dependant on the upgrade event. As of now i got 9 fully geared ships waiting in line for upgrades so a phoenix event would be very welcome

    Same; have a few items I REALLY want to upgrade for use on my DSC Constitution; Spire warp core, Colony deflector, Competetive shield and at least two beam arrays. And pretty much ALL the beam arrays on my D7 need upgrading as I've barely touched that ship yet - but I'll be damned if I'm gonna burn any more resources on the offensively useless crafted upgrades!

    In fact, am so desperate to upgrade the shield (so would have the competetive two-piece bonus) that I may purchase the Sompek 'skip token' bundle solely for the Ultimate Upgrade it'll contain.

    Oh you got the D7 as well? Nice. :o

    Yeah - got lucky on the last day of the inital promotion run. Haven't used the D7 in any significant way yet though - I did take it for a few runs during the recent Tholian Red Alert weekend but since can't upgrade the beams yet, and she can't equip cannons, I'm reluctant to use her in Advanced content.

    Admittedly won another box during the very recent weekend R&D box promo too - but have put that one in the bank for now.

    Sounds great!

    Well there is no need to hurry with opening if you have more packs, unless u want a jugger of course. :p

    Ya, I do the same thing. I have 3 different ships fully equipped mission ready on each of my characters and I use the 'switch ship' feature frequently. It really helps with my immersion especially after a really tough battle where I can pretend one needed repairs so for the next mission we use a different ship. :)
