800 lobi ships

ayreon76

hello all

after some time playing and test some things out
i look ad the 800 lobi ships you can get

but i was omg that 800 lobi is alot of real cash for me so 300 euro
to get ore lets say hope from those lock boxes

then i think why ask so insane much for a ship
i rely love the
Tal Shiar Battle Cruiser

but 300 euro to get that ship is alot ore pay 80 mil in audiction is also not cheap
the mony you earn from quest is very low to

so you need to buy things from Z store to sell and earn alot on cash
i dont mind spend a little real cash but this game is rely not F2P

you need to spend more mony in this game then a P2P mmorpg
then i wonder is PW rely that mony hunger

i dont mind suport a companie but this is to much
so i wonder from you guys how to enjoy a game

lets say spend a little real cash and stil get nice items
and btw is there a faster way to earn lobi,s ??

ore only from those lock boxes ??

sorry for the bad english

There are a very limited number of lobis available from other sources. Otherwise it's just lockboxes and sometimes zen store duty officer packs.

That said, 80 million EC is a lot to gather, but not out of reach for moderately committed free to play captains. Personally, I've been playing sporadically for about 1.5 years now entirely F2P and have accumulated about 300 million. A buddy of mine who is a lot more into the economics of the game has several billion EC in the same amount of time, mostly in the form of those 80 million EC ships sitting in his personal, auxiliary fleet bank so he doesn't exceed the EC cap. Be patient, use your brain to learn the economy of the game, and those ships are easily in reach for any free player. What you can't expect is to jump into the game, play a few weeks, level to 50 and suddenly expect to have the resources to buy anything and everything your heart desires.

Cheers, and happy Trekking

The only other method of getting Lobi Crystals is through the Featured Episode Rerun Event. Each Featured Episode contains one lobi crystal so you can get 20 free Lobi per character. If you have enough alts, then you can do it, but it is too time consuming since you need 40 alts for one Lobi ship.

So you are stuck with Lockboxes to get Lobi. A note about Lobi Ships is that they are always cheaper on the exchange than they are to purchase them through the Lobi Store. Buy a bunch of Lockbox Keys, sell them on the exchange, and then use your profits to purchase the Lobi ship you want on the Exchange.

My method of getting Lobi items is opening up enough lockboxes to get Lobi for the bind on pickup items on the Lobi Store, then sell Lockbox keys to get the items off of the exchange. If I get the Lockbox ship, then excellent, but I only open enough lockboxes to get those lobi items and no more.

Don't go for lobi, buy the ship off the exchange.

Hard numbers

Fleet ship module valued at 8million ec.
Fleet ship module from zen store is 500 zen

Lobi ship on exchange is worth about 80 million


5000 zen = 10 fleet ship modules = 50 dollars (i don't know what your conversion is)

Much more plausible

pll ad fleet say the same keys sell very good

but it wil be alot of keys to sell XD

so 45 keys X 1.8 mil is so 81mil

10 keys for me is so 11 euro

becouse PW is nasty normaly its 10 euro for me for paysave card is the only pay i can use
btw dont ask why

but it give me only 1100 zen and 10 keys cost 1125 zen pretty clever from PW
so you need to spend a little more mony

becouse for me there is only 10 / 15 / 25 / 50 euro cards
so PW no this it seems so they made the keys a little bit more so you cant buy 10 keys for 10 euro but a little bit more

so i need to buy the 15 euro cards pretty clever
to get more mony

thx alot so fleet models i can earn more nice nice thx

I made 10 million EC today just doing normal events and 1 foundry farm mission on all my characters, getting the EC for keys is not really that hard but it can get time consuming if you don't know what you are doing. If you put yourself to it you could probably do it within a month and not pay any real world money.

As for the 800 lobi price tag, I do not see a problem with it. some things should be harder to get than others. Lobi ships are great and all but they are not pay to win since there are equal or better ships that cost no lobi.

Buying one of the Lock Box ships by buying Keys and getting Lobi is a VERY bad way to do it. It is a lot better to sell Dilithium and then buy keys or the like and sell them for EC's and then buy the ship.

However, the real kick in the pants is that these lock box ships are nowhere NEAR worth the money you would have to spend to get them and often are lack luster compared to fleet ships and 3 pack 50 dollar ships.

Lockbox ships might be lackluster for their cost but they are not lackluster compared to fleet ships.

Galor Class one of the best if not best Cruiser in game and comes with some great Spiral Wave Disruptors.

Ferengi D'Kora Marauder a good Cruiser type ship that can use Dual Cannons and comes with a nice special console. Visit ship for bank,mail,exchange,Dabo table and Ferengi Trade Duty Officer contact.

Jem'Hadar Heavy Escort Carrier a Escort that can use hangers and can take a pounding.

And more other good ships.

You don't have to be in a fleet and a fleet with high enough shipyard to get lockbox ships like you do with fleet ships.

It takes 5 minutes at most to find a fleet with a t5 shipyard that would be willing to throw a temporary invite and part with a provision if you ask nicely and offer something in return.
