Assimilated Borg Technology Too Expensive?

With Season 9 the prices of the Nukara, Romulan Space Sets only cost 750 Marks per piece, and I thought this change would also be done for the Set in the Omega Reputation but there the space sets are still between 900-1000 Marks is that a bug or working as intended.

    Well Omega marks has always been the easiest to farm of the Rep marks but yeah still odd that they have such a large jump in cost over the others.

    8472 - 750 each - 5 injectors - 32,500 Dill

    Romulan - 750 each - 32,00 Dill

    Nukara - 750 each - 32,500 Dill

    Omega -

    Assimilated - 900 each - 3 neural - 32,500 Dill

    Other 3 sets - 1000 each - 5 neural - 34,000 Dill

    I mean just look at that cost difference not only in terms of marks, how can that be justified.

    I was under the impression that all of the Omega rep stuff would be brought into the new pricing system. It's a shame to see it hasn't.

    I could have sworn that before Season 9 for Mk XIIs only the Omega set was 1000. The other three were 900.

    I believe the Mk XI stuff used to be 750 and Mk X 675.

    We could also use some Upgrade Projects to trade up the old Mk XI and Mk X stuff to Mk XII.

    Any update on this, it would be nice if a Dev could confirm if it is a bug or not.

    Keep in mind omega marks are by far the easiest to get, look at the time cost of the equipment not the numerical mark value

    this is not a bug man the reason for the increased price is due to how many marks all the STFs put out which is at least double what most do soo in order for it to take the same amount of time to earn they double the mark requirement

    I dont think so, in fact, i think omega are the hardest ones to get only because the Defera invasion zone is made for teams. And sometimes trying to get in a team is well, neverending waiting. Nukara is ridiculous easy, Romulan marks the same, Dyson harder, but still easier than Omega. And Undine i dont have a clue since i am not bothered to do it.

    Of course the need of Borg Neural Processors should be eliminated. Because they have no sense anymore if i need to put in 1000 omega marks. But i guess we will get stucked with em until the end of times.

    Of course it isn't a bug, but I think what we really want to know is: Is it as intended, or has someone forgotten to change the value or not gotten around to it yet.

    you left out the STFs entirely those missions are a cakewalk now thanks to experienced people and reward 75 marks and up on top of the 55 daily marks so 1 mission already gets ya a 10th of the way there and there are 8 STFs so ya omega marks are the easiest to come by and easiest to use. also if ya do not need BNPs just trade em in for dilithium 3 for 1000 is not bad in fact it is a discount

    I don't know what game you're playing, because you have the order of difficulty in acquiring marks entirely wrong.


    And I'm going to quote my post from page 1 again.. go read through the threads in the Tribble section that led up to the release of Season 9 when the price change was originally introduced.
    Pretty sure they only discounted the Nukara and Romulan sets because they weren't popular.

    Right now, a lot of people hates STFs. Me included. And without STFs, the only option is Defera. And you better get a team, or you will get ridiculous ammount of omega marks doing easy runs.

    I dont think so. LOl.

    If you are having difficulties to gather romulan marks or nukara, for example, you are doing something really really wrong. They are by far the easiest ones. One different thing is that you need a little more time to gather enough romulan marks to be worthy, but as i said tons of times, its not always about gaining a millions of marks in 5 minutes. If you are not in a hurry, romulan marks are embarrasing easy for all the options you have to gather em. And Nukara just doing easy runs, the same.

    Dyson in my opinion is easier than Omega, because you dont need to "wait" to a team. You can start a run and join everybody that is trying to get to the final stage. Thats for me is far easier than Omega. By far.

    I think this not the smartest move because the Omega Rep contains three times the amount of gear than other Reps.

    IT IS CHEAPER! Not by much but STOwiki still has the old prices up. They changed the amount of BNP as not they don't drop more then 1 on elite STF's now. Its was 5 now 3 MACO was 10 now 5 per item.

    And here is a link to the wiki page.

    PERSONALLY I WOULD LIKE THOSE 1, 6 AND 11 BNP BACK! They were great for Dilth.
