Edna what do you expect from someone who keeps adding game breaking content, and one that trolls PvPers. They can tell me I'm having birthday in thirteen days, which is true, and I'd still not believe them.
Pretty sure they've lined up something else for that date.
they will do this with all old lockbox ships ...new skin = new ship ...go win it.
Kinda pissy there PWE.....Trendy said long ago the jhas would be made t6. I continued to save for the freaking ship after playing this game 1.5 years and finally got it a about a month ago. Tons of buying keys with your zen based on YOUR post here. Now the ship goes for 300mil, I've lost 100mil and I don't get the ship we were all promised. The ec lost isn't a problem if the ship is allowed to reach t6.......But some of us actually believe you guys when you put something in print....call us gullible I guess. WE actually expect folks to keep their word.
At 125zen per key I figure you owe me 6250 zen at this point(1 hundred lost so 50 keys x 125zen).....need to pay your tab before it climbs higher....With that amount I could of bought one of your new TRIBBLE command ships. So if you wouldn't of lied, I would of bought one..And look at the Jhas, in terms of zen, even at 300mil it cost mass more then any of those TRIBBLE new ships I wouldn't use with a tac toon anyways...I bought the phantom for the trait alone.....
This company is hemorrhaging money cause of it's deceptive practices........people say TRIBBLE it and move on....Think im done buying ships till some sort of wrong is righted....
Saw this one coming back when everyone was whining about how their favorite OP lotto-box ship wasn't getting a free pass to T-6.
Seems like they were holding on too tight to their OP-ness? :rolleyes:
I called it months back that every T-5 lotto box ship was going to get re-bundled to T6 and put back up for $ale again. And if a schlub like me could figure that out? Well, I guess 99.9% of the vets from Beta have long ago gone "beyond the rim" so perhaps the yung'uns didn't see it comin'?
But they should have when the Contortrix came out and the new PVP-Pay-to-Win ship to hit the exchange. If that didn't remove any doubt that Cryptic wasn't doing anything but trolling the PvP'rs I don't know what else to say. Maybe Cryptic's new suckers are "younger" in game-age even than that?
AND they're having a rework of failcrafting at the same time? Guess their RNG system of half-useless mods and prohibitive costs didn't make the new Utopia they were so afraid of everyone maxing out overnight and subsequently put up giant time-gates in our way ... for nothing.
Is there anything you, as a company, can touch that doesn't turn into **** nowadays?
Apparently not. Their "new" approach is to sucker the newbies with the same old tricks. So, here's my advice to the relatively new players out there. DON'T buy into this! You'll be wasting your money and justifying the notion that these super-rich Chinese oligarchs can continue turning Star Trek into nothing more than a ca$h-grab.
And for Cryptic - forget the Sector Space revamp, you better be thinking of a game-wide re-balance pass; while you still have players left...
But they won't, not as long as they have new players to dupe.
Meh. After the changes to Neutronic Torp, Ionic Turbulence and other stuff, I had hope that balance was making its way back to the game. Albeit slowly, but it was a start.
Now, between this news, the Crystalline AP Torp, and the poorly handled Tachyon Beam change, it looks like balance has resumed its trip into oblivion.

They follow their usual cycle:
- introduce broken stuff that sells well.
- fix some of the glaring issues and reluctantly do a balance pass.
- introduce new broken stuff that sells well.
- fix some of the glaring issues and reluctantly do a balance pass.
- introduce new broken stuff that sells well.
- Etc.
They've being doing this for a while now. Anyone hoping Cryptic will actually do a complete balance pass and a complete fix of all the issues are deluding themselves.
I, personally, hate the fact that this stupid ship keeps being turned into a ubership in STO.
don't worry, things are different now.
When the jhas was released, if you wanted dps you had to fly escorts and use cannons. But this was true until some seasons ago, before several changes have made faw builds so powerfull to outclass every cannons build... moreover since DR, npcs have an insane amount of hp and resistance and escorts are not the most resistent ships too the best ships are cruisers.
Not talking about the dead pvp...
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Playing STO spamming FAW is like playing chess using always the computer's suggested moves
I think everyone should airlock STO and support Star Trek Excalibur to make it get the license.
I think STO insults the 50 years history of Star Trek.
till that it insults the common sense...they sell a old ship as new....i still cant believe a wanna be serious company can do this...did they fired the PR guy?
Unless it has more customisation options than my mirror heavy cruiser retrofits with refit costume bits, then I'm not getting one. Seriously, those little ships are sexy as hell, with all the classic startrek look I always loved about TNG/VOY/DS9...
And here we go again. ANOTHER great ship (hopefully) added to the multitude of ships we already have. When is Cryptic going to address the lack of space to store these ships? Which ship am I going to have to destroy to make room for this one? A fleet ship? A lock box ship? An event ship? None of those are reclaimable and I'm out of room.
Cryptic, once we've purchased all the possible ships slots, please allow us to RECLAIM ALL SHIPS!
I, personally, hate the fact that this stupid ship keeps being turned into a ubership in STO. I really am convinced that the STO team didn't actually watch DS9. The JHAS (now JHSS) was, at best, mediocre - I mean, it's best attack was 'pattern suicide' for gods sake! And yet the Devs see fit to make it one of, if not THE, most powerful ships in the game.
I don't particuarly like the Scimitard (more because I dislike the design than anything else) either, but I will concede the the STO Scimitard being OP does at least make sense, as it's based on a ship that was seen, on screen, to be OP.
So to summarise:
Scimitard: OP, and this makes sense because the namesake in 'Nemesis' was too Bug Ship: OP - makes NO sense. Three of them couldn't take down a Galaxy class with firepower alone. Only really did REAL damage when they were ramming into other ships. 99% of the time operated in 'packs'. Nothing we saw indicated that they were particuarly powerful, especially not alone.
And most importantly, the one commandeered by Sisko and Co got it's TRIBBLE kicked by a Centaur class. A class of ship which is at T1 in this game.
Still - some Dev likes the stupid thing and that apparently overrides EVERYTHING else. See 'STO Excelsior class' for further details.
Agree 100%. There is little more Star Tek in this game than visuals, names and sounds. Its more like a fantasy game based on Star Trek look.
So what you're telling me is that we're getting a sector space revamp, the crystalline event and a chance for a new ship in an R&D promo, at the same time? Anyone else worried about another server meltdown?
Note the bottom where it indicates this: With the release of Star Trek Online: Delta Rising, this starship (either from this run of the promotion or from previous runs) will be upgradeable to Tier 6 starship capabilities at no cost.)
Now why isn't this being honored? Who made this decision to say no sorry we cannot honor this? Was it a group decision based from metrics, money or a higher power?
This being said, I think an explanation is in order respectfully before this game sinks further to an all time low and everything you all as devs falls out of place by the playerbase that has long supported this game.
For all those currently owning a JHAS, if you could trade in your ship with a fee of no more than $50 then you get the T6 version and 10 R&D packs. The ship will be bound to the character that had the old version and replace the old version, but you can keep the console to complete the set.
The other offer would be for no more than $100 get the ship as account bound and keep the old version. You still get the 10 R&D packs and you can place the new ship on any toon on your account, but you cannot sell it on the exchange.
This way STO still gets paid and previous owners get something to replace or compensate for the expense to obtain the now defunct T5 bug ship. This offer is only for those owning a JHAS on their account, regardless on how it was obtained (real money, dil money, or ec on the exchange).

Your paycheck has 5 zeros in it to consider $50 or $100 for one ship to be acceptable?

Lol after I've read the intelligence, I have no issues to believe game's coming to an end. What I think of the dev team is highly true.
After achieving level 5 in your Jem'Hadar Strike Ship's starship mastery, you will unlock the Go for the Kill starship trait. While this trait is slotted, critical Hits extend duration of active Cannon: Rapid Fire by 3 seconds. May occur once every 5 seconds.

I think this was part of the plan they were simply playing with the Odyssey to get their spy into the Alpha Quadrant.
they will do this with all old lockbox ships ...new skin = new ship ...go win it.
It was a learning experience, and they made a ton of money. wash rinse repeat.
don't get mad at the company, get mad at the people who will be lining up for this promotion screaming "Shut up and take my money."
