God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
How can you be "crippled" by something completely optional? I'm still trying to understand your point.
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
"Yaaaay"...
Well, I guess 200+ ppl fleets won't have any issues with this. Pitty that others are already struggling with even the most basic projects, especially in the face of all the dilithium nerfs and increased costs...
Greedy Cryptic is greedy...
If I'm not mistaken, all the Featured projects for the Embassy were completed several weeks ago, if not longer. These were already developed and will come out every-other week until they go into "re-runs" for fleets that didn't have a chance/ want to do a project the first time around. The team is working on the issues you described and will continue to do so, even while developing new content.
Cheers,

Tribble terrarium for the dilithium mine?
Just get used to it by now.
Spoiler Alert we're due for another lockbox too. So make sure you act shocked when that shows up too.
unless u drop the cost of them or pick a different curentce u have too much on dill sink holes and not giving enough out u killed stf's with the changes sorry u can poke it
my hole fleet of 300 poeple are NOT doing the embassy due to the fsb costing too much dill as is u realy trying hard to kill this game u turnd it to a 9-5 job and very boring allmost to the point of not playing anymore
and dont mind lock boxes i just trash them along with all the other junk from this game
Hooked on Phonics did not work for you, my friend.
1.) Bashing of a follow forum poster - who ever said phonics was required, who even knows if english is spacebreeder's first language.
2.) Does not add to the topic at hand and was purely to point out spacebreeder's grammar failures.
Now to the topic at hand:
- Though I do agree these are dilithium sink holes, a fleet of 300 active people should not have an issue with dilithium. If many of them are ALTs then I could see so, however a good solid fleet of 100 let alonge 300 active members should not be having problems.
As I have stated several time before in the forums, I am always willing to help ingame on techniques, and game play plans to gather FM or Dil. msg me @franc275 if anyone is interested.
if ur a fleet like mine it not 400k dill its close to 800k dill for the fleet base and now + the embassy on top of that yes for a big fleet it becoming too much to cover with the low paying gill pve's now
No Thanks.
I think there are two pints worth emphasising.
1/ The special cosmetic projects could be made cheaper. After all a bartender only costs 80k dilithium and that actually does something.
2/ There are alternate currencies/in game commodities used to donate to balance it out.
I beleive Gold pressed latinum has been mentioned as an idea and seems to be a rather forgotten currency.
My fleet went from 15 active members to 2 because they got so fed up with the dilithium sinks and then new ones being added with season 7 that they up and left the game. Most people probably know 1 or 2 people that have left or are very much considering leaving.
Optional or not the outrageous amount of Dilithium costs are crippling small and medium fleets either from trying to keep up with resource demands or people leaving.
Right now just in non-optional projects from the fleet and embassay I need over 350k dilithium. Add in two optionals and a min of 750k that's insane with the lessened amounts you can gain per event and with the 8k cap still in place.
And one last thing, If the average player was only averaging 3300 dilithium per day as stated then why was it necessary to remove the 1 click foundry missions, these were of massive help for the small to medium fleets??
Season season has taken away soooo much and given so little in return.
The funny is over, the game is getting boring... after one day at work, all I want is having fun... not starting a new job to earn 3 kinds of marks, EC, dilithium, duty officers.
Playing STO spamming FAW is like playing chess using always the computer's suggested moves
You... called it "Nanov, Nanov"...
Next project is a Romulan mooch named Mork? XD
I think what my esteemed colleague is trying to point out is that there are several other vanity items we as players have asked for and are willing to pay for (Hairstyles, uniforms, Alien parts, etc) yet we keep on getting stupidly expensive dilithium sinks for starbases of limited utility.

Don't we all need these beautiful enhancements for our wonderfully useful embassies? I know I doooooo!
I am going to buy $300 in Zen then convert it to some dilithium to get this glorious enhancement. Maybe I can just donate some money to PWE and Cryptic too!
My tiny fleet will be able to go in, and watch the .. things.. float around in water..
Oye, I think I've had too much romulan ale.
I wonder how many people get these things? I mean, they keep crappin them out from a couple hours of work a month. I wonder if the designers of this stuff are upset that their work is being attacked because of the price tag set on it.
If it was 20k Sure, maybe even 50k, but 200K is craziness.. especially considering how much the market is in the trash bin at the moment.
Its crippling ours. We started off at 100 people, and where slowly growing, and I put allot of stuff into that starbase. I know there's a few otehrs who put jsut as much. but Our fleet leader has been bankrupting all his toons to try and keep the Dil supply up, and he's getting pissed. We've lost a few others as well. I would not claim that 100 Members is a small fleet.
I checked all our starbase upgrades today, each and every one needs 200K Dil. So that's 1mill dil needed to advance, and thats not even looking at the Embassay.
I have 400 fleet marks sitting there, there's several other fleet members in the same boat. Never going to be able to buy anything with it, as we can't afford to upgrade the damn starbase due to the unobtainable ammount of Dil needed.
And that's on the Klingon side! So I hate to think what the poor feds are suffering.
The irony is I was looking at buying some Zen the other day but this (and the KDF thing) put me off. So I'm hording my miniscule ammount of Dil to buy Zen instead, which adds to the drain...
DELTA RISING FIXS THERE NEVER COMING WHY I'M I WASTING MY TIME ASKING FOR THEM ???
Which goes to show the Cryptic team have their priorities in the wrong order! FIx things before putting resources into new broken things!
