Now, you just need to make the STF items Bound to Account in general, and give us the ability to send them to ourselves through the messaging system. Free to Play doesn't have access to the account shared bank option, so I hope there is an option for those who buy zen.
Did we just win the STO lottery? Thank you Cryptic for these great changes.
I second that. I may not be Gold, but, I DO spend $$$$$$ on zen, and would like the account bank option opened, even for a small zen fee.
Lets face it, the Gold accounts probably aren't going to last much longer anyway. Who's going to pay for Gold when there are so few advantages over the Silver?
I have transferred several characters to Tribble and so far not even one item is bind to account. Everything is bind to character. What is the point of offering bind to account if it doesn't apply to anything? Borg tech, EDC, salvage is all bound to character. Nanopulse weapons, mission rewards, Aegis sets are bound to characters. Is it just for newly acquired items? Everyhing already possessed seems to stay character bound. I do not think this is what people were looking for.
I didn't expect borg stuff to become account, but what would be the harm in things like nanopulse weapons and frost boots? I have looked on tribble and find almost nothing that says account bind on equip, just a few mission rewards, not the consoles or unique items, just basic weapons and stuff. Seems rather pointless as these are only sold to bank anyways.
Are you saying all the old STF gear is still bound?
Sadly, yes. Anything that is already bound to your character will remain bound to that character. Just like the unique item color change only applies to newly-acquired items, not ones that you already have.

A bit lazy on Cryptic's part, tbh. It's not like these are *real* items, are they? I mean, all it takes ara few database queries to change the item properties to account-bound.
It's also a mite inconsistent. For instance, when they debuffed the Borg set a bit, they sure made it apply to everything out there, didn't they?

Laziness shouldn't be a surprise. After all, we know they have terrible QA, given the mass of things they keep breaking when they release patches, which is a clear demonstration of laziness/sloppiness.
Still, the game is improving. Slowly, but surely. They could just have left things as they were and really pissed people off (more than they already are).
I want my "Ang the Vicious" and the Fleet-Tribble (maybe an account-bound IDIC-Tribble would be nice, too)...
could have been phrased more politely but yeah, I agree. I'd like my damage to tholians to increase AND have a radioactive green tribble that poops fleet marks sooner rather than later.

I know. No more "Raising the roof" with Quantum Mortar III.
They can't make the change retroactive. We may not like it, but we're stuck with it.
They said it was fixed. but I tried it on Tier 3 and nothing.

Gozer and Heretic said a lot of things that have been changed since they said it.

Why do I feel like a kid at Christmas right now?
i agree the lobi consoles should be account bound and for the love of little baby jesus make lobi account bound

If Star Trek Online was an Open-Source (GPL) Game, we would have a low-grind fork.
Love it. Love everything about it.
