So you can't buy standard ships with EC's anymore?

Yikes.

Before the free2play system was put in, you could buy another ship class/type, using energy credits, but I see now the only option seems to be:

a) Acquire 100k+ of Dilithium to buy one
or
b) Buy cstore ships, or cstore credits and sell for dilithium?

Not good :( heh

    You're about 2 months behind the rant curve on this one. :)

    Dilithium is quite easy to get; especially since you get free ships from T1 to T5 and so can save all your Dilithium earned as your level up. I have over 1 million and nothing to spend it on.

    No desire for the 5k Cryptic Points you could trade that in for?

    I would like to see a mechanic which allows you to trade in GPL for Dilithium. :D

    I thought about trading some of it in for a few keys but came to the conclusion that I don't really care about the Galor. I might use some of them to buy the Odyssey variant when it comes out, though.

    I have one interest in the Galor. Giving it to my friend who said he would only play STO when he could make a Cardassian that could fly a Cardassian ship.

    I spent $25. I got everything I wanted except for the Galor.

    I made the decision to only buy keys to unlock gold boxes from this point forward.

    I used my Stipend to get 4 keys to open 4 Gold Boxes. I didn't get anything that I really wanted. My best friend used Dilthium to buy 3 keys. He got a Galor on his second Gold Box. Just the luck of the draw.

    Maybe the end-game reward will be a Cardassian player race and that will entice him to give it a shot. :)
