Is anyone wanting to trade their Voth Bastion Cruiser for my Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer?

Please respond here if you would like to trade, then we will set up a date and time. :) Thanks!

    Tip: you probably aren't going to have much luck with this plan. Beyond the hassle involved, and the fact that the general forum isn't a marketplace, there's an easier way: the exchange. Look up to see how much a Tal Shiar destroyer is going for, post yours for just a little less than that (making very sure you've counted out the right number of zeros), and use the EC you get from that perfectly reliable sale towards the cost of a Bastion.

    No fuss, no forum posts. Just business.

    He'll probably find that the Adapted Destroyer will only provide a down payment on a Bastion Cruiser. IIRC, the Bastion is pretty expensive on the EC, since it was presumably more difficult to acquire.

    This. I could in a different situation, in a different universe, be given the offer to trade my Jem'Hadar Strike Ship for a Jem'Hadar Heavy Escort Carrier. That deal would cost me hundreds of millions of EC, because I could probably get 3 HECs for the one Strike Ship.

    Anybody who makes that deal will end up throwing away millions of EC. And in my experience: the people that do get these kind of ships are smart enough to know how to sell them.

    So the exchange option really is your best: sell your Tal Shiar ship, save up some more EC and buy the Bulwark. But a direct trade ain't gonna work.​​
