MK XI and XII Purple Consoles/Items

Here goes..........

With the release of Season 7 I was hoping to be able to either craft or be rewarded with the MK XI or XII purple consoles. Those of you who have them listed on the exchange for over 10,000,000 each will never receive my money. Cryptic/Perfect World; you really need to do something about the way to acquire them. With the game having so many different facets to it and the addition of the reputation system, you can not expect someone to keep up with the demands needed to acquire all of these items. There was no "Free to Play" when I first started this game, I had to earn everything or craft them. I recently started a new toon, and had him at level 50 in 2 weeks time playing 2-3 hours a day. People working and earning items will have more fun and be more excited about the game rather then having to grind out EC to purchase them. This is still one of the best online games out there, and I will continue to play at least for now......................

    It's one of those things they use to legitimize the Duty Officer Farmvilling, so don't expect to get MK XII purple consoles without it any time soon.

    Meanwhile, go ahead and try to convince me that a Mk XII purple phaser relay is worth the 40 million EC price on the exchange.

    10 million EC isn't that much - about a week of moderate earnings.

    Exactly my point. And to think you only need 4 or 5 of them, lol.

    I've done the Doff mission countless times and so far I've never received the Very Rare MK XII Disruptor Induction Coil tactical Console that I need 2 of.

    The Very Rare MK XII Disruptor Induction Coil tactical Console are on the exchange for 30+ Million each and there's no way in Tartarus that I'll ever pay that for them.

    I was hoping that Cryptic would be adding some Fleet consoles with equivalent stats to the Fleet vendor in the near future because I more or less have given up on the prototype console mission.

    Just a quick question: Do the chances get better than this for console building?

    22% purple
    51% blue
    27% green


    I had those chances for a long time now and I got a new purple doff through the bajoran exchange yesterday which has resolve and efficient.

    The new doff got the place of a just purple doff without a critical trait in the lineup, but the numbers didn't change when I switched between them :(

    I think I got 24 % but I don't know if there are purple doff's with resolve + 2 crit traits might hit 33 or whatever, but I don't know.

    I never bought or used a single purple console albeit I sell enough of them.

    When I started playing elite stf I didn't equip doffs or use consoles and it went fine so.. :D

    New animations and skins I don't mind buying but empty stats are at the buttom of my list, I never not just slap random 7 k consoles together. That plus I switch builds around weekly with all fresh consoles anyway so pointless to go after purples for me.

    I can't figure out why they haven't released Fleet Consoles, either. I mean, we have the Romulan Sci consoles through the fleet embassy, seems like a no-brainer to pull release elite consoles through the Fleet Vendors. That's something I would gladly pay the dil (and buy zen to get more dil) and fleet credits for.

    Purple Mk XI and XII are goalpost.

    Using Purple Engineering Doffs (and one Blue) with Resolve, and 2 with additional Bonus Traits, I've reduced my chance of getting a green console down to 22%. I find its more productive to decrease the chances of a green console then to increase the chances of a purple console, as blue MK XII consoles can still be incredibly useful...

    And there is obvious room for improvement if more Purple Engineering Doffs with Bonus Traits are used...

    I just found it odd that I got the same percentages with 1 purple engi doff with 1 critical trait and 4 just purple engi doffs compared to 2 purple engi doff with 1 critical trait each and 3 just purple engi doffs
