    I know you want more for your item but the value of something on the Exchange has 2 criteria:

    1: How much you want to sell it for.
    2: How much other people are selling it for.

    That's the way free enterprise systems work. McDonalds can't sell $8.00 hamburgers if Burger King is selling them for $4.00 even though McDonalds would like to sell them for $8.00. :)

    You forgot one thing it doesnt matter what people sell something for if people wont buy at that price you in trouble. So what people are willing to pay for something has a huge effect.

    Isn't that what they just did with the mirror ships? :P

    Strictly speaking they are "Terran Empire" ships, and don't directly apply to the UFP

    they are rubbish simple as that

    WHY do i see so less of those lock boxes ship fly every
    becouse pll only want mony thats all they dont care how good ore bad that ship is they want MONY

    they think if am rich am beter then orther to that anser is NO
    i see now you dont have to be rich to have good gear/weapens in this game

    only it takes longer to get them thats all
    and when your lvl 50 you even can do replay mision to get beter stuff also

    so you dont need mony for that to
    only the MK 12 are a little harder to get but with patience you get it to

    this is what i see what is so wrong in this game

    Master key 2.5 mil +- O.o 1 key is 125 Zen very cheap
    so dunno the high price they sell it for

    Orb weaver 80 mil +- also dunno the high price when almost nobody fly it ??
    if they are so good what pll say why almost nobody fly them ??

    becouse like i said they want mony
    and thats all

    They have been floating aroun 50mil for a little while now and have dipped as far as 40-45 from time to time because they are the least favored (thus far) of the lockbox ships. I make it a point to get new box ships when they come out. The torpedo itself is pretty cool, and the web is cool, but not cool enough that I use the Weaver for it. The ship turns too slow for my science captain as a sci vessel. BUT it's going to hold value simply because in the grand scheme of things it is still rare, and it is very cool looking and unique.

    To date, the D'Kora is still holding strong as my favourite ship to fly on my eng or tac. For the value of what you get as an all-around good combat vessel, it's still the best lockbox ship out there imho.

    but non faction ships are worthless to me


    the mirror universe cruiser is an exception because I have a mirror universe captain (Voltax)
    And he will use it where others would use a Galaxy

    So it's only worthless unless convenient?

    like i said if there so unique why is so less pll fly them
    i fly every where and see many many ships

    but only see 1 ore 2 Thoilan ships
    a few D'kora

    then i see many many pll get that tholian ship orb weaver in my screen
    so you think wow maby i see alot fly in space but no

    they gone sell it
    so in terms pll only want that ship to get mony nothing els

    most dont care if there beter ore not
    they sell it for big mony and thats what most player want

    my self fly a mirror asault cruiser
    great ship if you tell me :)

    only had a slow turn rate but with 2 consoles with both 25 % turn rate i do fine
    and rely i dont need that good turn rate any way

    i use arrays to hit my enemys so i can always hit them in every way
    i also have space jump console it give me a skill to pop up behind a ship instaly

    with 4 schield reapair skills and 1 miracle worker skill i can keep my schield up very good
    also have 2 heal skills and a orther buffs to proteck me

    have 2 tack officers that do the DPS for me like torpedo spread ore high yield and so on
    only i lack in science but its ok

    so if pll say Mirror ships are TRIBBLE there sadly mistaken

    Don't disagree at all. I rather like the mirror assault cruiser myself as I am a fan of the Star Cruiser skin anyways. I haven't use the Mirror Star Cruiser at all yet (have one in my shipyard for parts storage basically right now) but it looks like it could be useful.. basically a Sovvy that can heal a bit more.

    I think the best thing to do at this point is add them to the console that lets you trade in stuff from the lockboxes. Since it's a ship i'd say 300 lobi as the Carrier is 800. That way people can sell it for lobi to get something they want as well as with less on the market you'd get the price raised just like you wanted since some people would rather buy the lobi rather than the ship.
