Helmsman trait

jellico1

I hope there are plans to include this trait in a new reward pack or lock box

at 30+ million a pop on the exchange soon it wil cost more than ships do

please include this trait in some form where it can be purchased and fed back into the game cryptic

Thanks

I'll sell it to you for 100 million EC right now, on the spot. :P:P

I Bet you would :P

Cryptic likes to have events that all lockboxes drop so it is unlikely they will introduce it to other lockboxes.

Ladies and gents, start your hoarding engines!! 3, 2, 1....Hoarddd!!!!! Helmsman will likely go up to 75 million until Cryptic reintroduces the tal shiar lock boxes.

I thought the tal shiar destroyer was highly sought after?

I propose that after a lock box run has ended, all big ticket items be thrown into the lobi store. Ships, traits, consoles maybe weapons.

What you don't realize is that if cryptic were to do something like that a great deal LESS lockboxes would ever get opened.

If people cant hoard and make ec off of the items whats the point of opening boxes.

The markets all flow in waves. cheap at first, then skyrockets, then falls, but not as far, then up again, then skyrockets, then falls again, wavers, then tanks when box is rereleased. then skyrockets.
er something.

P.S.
You might want to blame a farmer for high prices, when in fact, without 'farmers' everything there is would be a lot more expensive.

Bah, better things to hoard although some people will pay anything for a small benefit if it's rare enough.

You still have to open the lockbox for the lobi. If lobi loot that was once lockbox were bop, I don't think there would be much of a problem besides an initial flux

Helmsman is a lockbox trait, the full name is genetic resequencer: Helmsman

It adds a new trait to your trait pool and gives you a free trait respect token

The Helmsman trait reduces your the cooldown of evasive maneuvers by 10 seconds and increases turn rate by 5%

Not groundbreaking but the reduction in evasive maneuvers sure adds some more fun to the game

Thanks, Although it is rather disjointing if you have to open lockboxes or buy from exchange in order to add to your trait pool. This take away from F2P, I think they need to find another way to add to trait pool.

It doesn't, not really. The item isn't out of reach for you, you've just got to play longer (and gain more EC) in order to purchase it off the exchange.

Nobody ever needs to pay any actual money into this game; only greedy people or impatient people do.

Hence the reason I buy these items up when they are plentyful and hold them for awhile until the supply dwindles. I got 5 or 6 at around 13 Mil or so each. I'll wait until they break 75 mil before I list them.

LOL the moment any of that TRIBBLE exceeds 500k is when you will never catch me buying it for those prices!!! Some other sucker can pay those outlandish prices, but not I:P

500k is 10 minutes of farming...i think 15million is about fair. 30 millions is ridiculous

If you had any Lobes for business you should buy as much of them as you can at 500k and sit until the prices rose. There are always suckers with more Money/EC then brains. Somebody will pay it, esp if its really rare and the supply is non-existent.

Hmm... I have 280 Tal SHiar boxes stock piled.


If only I were gifted with more money than sense I'd buy the keys to open them.

Helmsman is currently going for 60 million EC. The price jump occurred mostly within the last two days. See my thread here:

maybe they will eventually add past box traits to the lobi store for a price. otherwise I can't see them making it easier to acquire them

vamank

Its just broke 80 Million. Its time to clean up.

Oh Yeah!!!!

futurepastnow

They'll probably get up to a total of 12-16 special traits, then rotate them 4 at time in future lockboxes.

lucho80

The OP has two options. Cry about the price or learn and profit.

imadoctornota

Then I'm glad I got mine when I did! 9 million doesn't sound so bad after all!
