Just like when there is something that causes the price of oil to increase, the price of gasoline immediately increases as well. Even though the oil purchased to be refined into gasoline (petrol for Uk) was bought purchased weeks / months before at lower prices.
I would be happy with the quad cannon beam overload ability or quad mini torp myself. It is sad they changed the defiant to become the Intel ship. Max out your defense value and it isn't bad. Maybe they can release a new skin so it looks like one??
But yea.. the bug got revived though. I wonder if it is bind on pickup? Still no t6 on the exchange and you need both to have the console set... ouch.

The Original Bug has no console.... you get the other two Dominion consoles from The JHDC and the JHHEC. The consoles can fit on any Jem'Hadar ship, but this is another reason why the Battleship would have made more sense.
And the Phantom is NOT THE DEFIANT!!!! Just like the Guardian is NOT the Galaxy or Ambassador, or the new Command ships are NOT the Excelsior.
The JHAS is not worth even 100m EC, IMHO. It hasn't in a long, long time due to the last year or so's worth of newer, high powered Escorts that are comparable to it and just as deadly effective, and not costing you even half as much of an overpriced JHAS.
You guys are better served by saving the money you would otherwise waste on an outclassed, obsolete ship (even the BOFF seat arrangement is horribly outdated) with something better.
Maybe even towards the T6 version :rolleyes:
But whatever. Your guys' money to throw away for the original owner to use towards the better T6 version
What I find hilarious is all the greedy folks who had jacked up the prices of the Bug now have a ship thats outdated and more or less worthless on the exchange. LOL

Indeed. JHAS is really almost identical to a lowly Fleet Patrol Escort (not Retrofit, not T5-U), with a console slot swapped, and somewhat better speed. At one time it was the shiniest thing ever; now I'd pay maybe 50 mil for it, to unlock JHAS pets for my JHAC, is all.
You kids are missing the point. The people you see playing a Galaxy at 60 aren't doing it for the boff/console layout if you catch my meaning. Some of us play Star Trek games to fly the Star Trek ships we just love from the show.
I doubt the ship's price will go far bellow 100 million. If having a bug ship remains the only way to get bug pets on your Dominion carrier then it probably won't fall bellow 200 million. It is still a very rare ship and will be impossible to get from now on.
That being said Cryptic will most likely unlock bug pets for people who have a T6 bug. So the bug will finally be outclassed in every possible way and become a pure collector's item.
They will probably stick the original bug in the Lobi store for 1000 Lobi eventually.

Very much this. it's still pricey because it's rare but. Contortrix , Manasa just to name a few .
Well, warmaker, I think that even Manasas owners feel a little like they maybe perhaps kind of have wasted their money. just saying.
I'll pick it up when it hits 50 mil if I ever want to roleplay an obsolete jemhadar carrier with bug pets...seriously its completely worthless...sell now while you can.
On another note if the trait is bad I can't see this being in the heights of the old bug. It was only useful for pve for the pets and perhaps an investment, that investment was based on the back of pvpers...there aren't many of those left.

Dunno how that compares to yesterday since it is not a ship I am interested in acquiring.

Yes... but did they pay 500+ mil EC for their Galaxy? is the question.

There will be a T6 Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier replacement sooner or later so you can use your Jem'Hadar Strike Ships as frigate pets for it.

I hope the price drops through the floor. Would serve the greedy idiots and their absurd prices right.
