When you get as many characters as me.. its also a grind factor.. *sighs* and time factor. I am working all summer.. sadly.
Wow .. really? They did not have that discount last year? I think? I couldn't get enough pearls last year for any of my characters. I know that the winter event did not have any discount to alts.. because I got the ship for several toons (thanks to the extension).
This is like putting a rail gun turret and nuke launcher on a Titanic class ship. Hmmm. Not me!
I think what you meant to say is:
This is like putting a rail gun turret and nuke launcher on a Titanic class ship. AWESOME!
Please reconsider ARC. Please make it optional, at the least. PLEASE.
It seems the vast majority of your most active players (forum regulars) hate the idea... and while that's a small subset of the playerbase, I think it's an important constituency.
THE PLAYERS DO NOT WANT THIS.
And in the Winter you pay with autographed glossy pictures of Q. To be crystal clear to anyone reading this thread: There are no lobi versions of the holiday event ships.
You know, I don't wanna be that guy, but "There are no lobi versions of the holiday event ships YET." With the way they butchered the last anniversary, I'm no longer sure of anything.
No need to say I'd really hate any changes to the previous Winter/Summer event ship characteristics, ways to obtain, ...

I am worried, .. there is so many items to get that i won't be able to get all what i want ... worried about prices. There is almost to much to choose from.
From there ^, I also understand the whole Lobi - Pearl Deal... But having an Arm Version on the ship is much different than what everyone is saying about the Lobi To Pearl Packs.. I've used Lobi packs before in the Winter and the past Summer Event... however if you read closer the thing quoted above does not mention anything about Lobi To Pearl Packs... but about Armed versions of the ship
That's only an in-universe/character lore description...
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.

Discounts for the Corvette came a couple weeks ago (with Season 9, strangely) and are supposedly planned for this cruiser as well as the winter ships. However, pretty much nothing about it is currently official.

That ship looks like fun.
A pity that I missed the last summer event and can't use it with both consoles (since I can't get corvette and new ship)
You can do that. Cryptic's done the right thing and made the event Alt-friendly by introducing account-wide discounts if you already own the ship - then it costs only 40 Pearls.
So you could do the daily on two characters. Get the escort on one of them, and the cruiser on another. You should unlock both discounts after which you'll just have to wait one more day to get both ships on one character.
At least I hope that'll be the case. I honestly dreaded doing the daily on several alts last year.

You might easily enough, if the discount is in place (and is significant enough).

400, rather than 40, isn't it? Still, that's 10 days, rather than 25...

Thats the problem, they still haven't announced the numbers. Given how easily they can flip a single number, with the discount (if kept and applied) it might be anything between 1000 and 0, and that's presuming the full price is 1000 pearls.

Aren't all the holiday events 40 tokens per run? So full price, 1000 tokens, 25 runs. Discounted price, 400 tokens, 10 runs. Unless it's discounted by 400 tokens, in which case it's 600 tokens, 15 runs.
You just need to learn the tricks. Stick to the edges of the course when it's curvy, on the snow whenever possible, and move right down the middle on the straghtaways. When making tight corners, jumping stops you without sliding. Those hints will get you an easy win every time in less than three minutes.
Now that you know that, you can use the discount this year to get all the past ships on your characters that missed them.
I've gotten enough practice from doing it in three events that I can almost sprint the entire course... well if I don't eat a lag spike that is... It's very tricky... it requires utilizing the tiny edge of the course between the DQ zone and the sliding zone. Mess up and you get a DQ. But if you don't? it is soo satisfying passing the guy in front of you.
I totally appreciate the effort to give us ships to play around with. And I clearly get the idea of introducing "fun" ships but what I cannot support is making ships which are not even slightly Trek-relevant and making them OP and moreover, making other canon/ IP ships look like paper planes.
There are a lot of demands to revamp "time-worn" iconic ships like the Intrepid etc. and the calls are falling on deaf ears. I won't even go the line to try to argue with the, now failed, Galaxy revamp - the most recognizable Cruiser in Star Trek ever.
Look at the stats and Boff seating of this Cruiser and the Galaxy's. If this is not a slap in the face for the players, then I don't know.
Don't tell me other people were in charge of doing set-up and stats of this ship and the Galaxy's...both are only in the hands of a systems developer who could have had invested time to do a favor players asking for.
Maybe it is just me, but I will and cannot support this kind of devlopment priorities, even if they are "well-meant". Have fun on Risa, my Captain is going to stay on his Bridge and explore already known worlds.

Well that might work if both ships have discounts. I have mor then enough inactive lvl 50 characters^^
But that means doing that stuff with 8 chars a day

If that is your choice... at least move your ship out of the way... I'm trying to get my Voth Bastion on Risa, but your ship is on the path to there... so... plz... and thank you!!!

You just saved me around 500-600 lobi

Starfleet really needs to crack down on the Lobi Crystal Consortium. At this rate, it's just a matter of time before the Ferengi control the whole quadrant. :eek:
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
Discount of 960 pearls ? That sounds a little too generous.....
Maybe we should start sacrificing Epohhs now to summon a dev that can answer some of the obvious questions ! Or maybe it's some kind of puzzle ? We have to fill in the blanks to win a prize ?
... this year the Risians are offering their luxury cruiser as well. This ship is a space yacht with all the amenities - a floating reminder of your summer vacation that you can take to the stars!
This gives the impression that it will feature a unique, functional interior.
With functions similar to the Tuffli Freighter/Duliban Cell Ship/Ferengi D'Kora, i.e. bank/mail/echange acces, possibly tailor access.

I have to agree.
I like this content, no question.
But this game is about exploring strange new worlds not about party and ice racing. And it lacks on some many points in its "original" content that I wonder how the devs can effort to invest so much resources to beach partys....

I think it will be 400 for the 2nd ship because I think there are 35 days to run the pearls = 1400 pearls.

its too late for that.....the Ferengi already control all....who do you think controls the Iconians...after all WAR IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS
I find this line of replies sadly hilarious. We put a lot of work into the massive list of fixes/changes above, and ya'll are hung up on the ability to skip our content. =p

Too late. They already have more control than we think. Who do you think gave Quinn the billions of ec to turn ESD into his own personal shopping mall ? :eek::D

Be patient... most of the Dev blogs go up around 4pm (GMT-7hrs) that is about 2- 3 hrs from the time of my reply...
And so what happens when one already owns a Risan corvette?
Do I automatically get a discount on my alts ???
