    I am unlikely to buy any of those, but I guess if i would it would be the time shuttle.

    I would get the timeship since it is the best ship and I already have the BOFFs.

    How about putting something bigger and badder on special, like one of the 800 lobi ships.

    First, My vote goes to the "ETH".

    But, my question is: how can someone get lobi crystals without opening any lock boxes?

    I voted for the Widow, since shuttles and BOs are available by conventional means; but you need zen or lobi to get a fighter. A discount there makes more of a difference I think.
    My old (and now mostly obsolete) exploration suggestions thread. Give it a read. :)

    Haven't you learned that Cryptic has a deep love affair with introducing more and more currencies and complexity? Remove Lobis? Never happen.

    How about making Lobi's account bound, and make 1 lobi worth say 1000 or 10,000 GPL? Keep the gold (pressed latinum) farming business alive?

    I mean come on, you can buy the shuttles (woo, shuttles) on the exchange, and the other stuff isn't that essential. Boffs on ground aren't useful after the story content is finished, and do they even give any advantage in space?

    Lobi stuff is so overpriced any IMO.

    This get my vote too. The whole Lobi Consortium with there crystals and strong enemy faction battle ships for sale has nothing to do with Star Trek.

    I haven't said "remove lobis". I said "give GPL some meaning". Latinum is supposed to be the most valuable commodity in the Trek universe after all, but all us players can get for it are limited time holo emitters. (I'm not counting the trophies as you can't place them on Romulan / Lockbox ships anyway).

    What? Getting to this link was actually work - not easy as there were three links ahead of it - why?

    Nothing to choose from but disappointed by the speel of adverts so just had to cast my vote for nothing, sorry.

    I find it funny people want the officer's and not the ships if i was cryptic i would do one ship and one officer whatever one is higher in each poll of course


    I personal want the temporal destroyer but i will take a time shuttle just as much

    Liberated borg officer...

    The shuttles/fighters are essentially useless until some real small-ship content is introduced.

    The photonic tac officer doesn't really have any good stats, and not being able to customize the appearance of a hologram is just beyond stupid.

    On the other hand, the borg boff has efficiency and a bonus to hold/root effects. And science has a lot of those. So it's useful both in space and on ground.

    I actually hope all of these items go on sale. I voted for the Borg Science Officer, mainly because I pretty much have all of the other items in the store already.

    Should make the exchange prices for the shuttles go down again, which would definitely entice me to get them on some of my side characters.

    If the tactical photonic officer wins the poll, would there be any chance that it's trait could be fixed so that it doesn't get injured when it ''dies''?

    The Photonic Tac Officer, would be my vote

    Not exactly desirable items. Still, the best pick out of the bunch would be the timeship shuttles.

    They won't do it as-is because it would create the opportunity for a ridiculously time-consuming exploit to generate an unlimited amount of "free" lobi for your account.

    Liberated Romulan Sci boff, of course. Only really useful choice on the list w/ its efficient trait, and for the rp Romulan captain, necessary in order to get another purple quality Romulan boff on your crew.

    However, if the Photonic tac can be updated w/ Romulan visuals, I'll change my vote.

    Before I vote, are the bugs on that photonic boff gone? Yet?

    there not as nearly as many currencies as there was before F2P, if your a long time player you should know this.

    I voted Rom Borg Boff because the exchange is way over priced and I would have lobi left over if she went.

    Judging by these "votes" I'm pretty sure that the Photonic Tactical Officer will not be picked. However, it would be so much better if instead of voting on what will be 40%, each player is given the choice: One Item in the Lobi Store for 40%! That would make EVERYBODY HAPPY!
  • ceekayzeroceekayzero Member Posts: 411 Arc User

    I wouldn't mind seeing the Temporal Destroyers go for 40% off. They're my favorite ship in the game, and I would love to get them cheaper.

    That said, I voted for the Romulan Lib Borg Boff. It isn't bugged and non-customizable like the Photonic Tac Officer; and it will make it easier/cheaper to get a complete Captain and Bridge Crew of liberated Borg.

    Also, I wouldn't vote for the Photonic Tac or the Timeship until we get a Romulan specific look for both.

    I would also vote for this. I don't like lockboxes anyway, but this would at least give us a way to earn items in-game other than just the endless dilithium farm.

    Boffs will be needed for Season 8 so don't say they will not be useful they are always useful.
