Hi, I have been playing star trek for some time now. I have a big balance of latinum, but there isnt alot I can do with it. Perhaps they should really start looking into items other then just holographic stuff, trophies etc. Who here agrees with me about this?

More outfits, Maybe a special pretty golden phaser pistols and disruptors.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
maybe like so much could be traded in for dilithium ? like the spec points...
I wouldn't suggest trophies since 1 faction cant even use them...poor romulan bridge interior..
Maybe some new costumes, some kind of "high roller" outfit, or even better, holodeck period outfits, for the roleplayers out there, since latinum is in a way just sorta rp anyway.
After hitting another triple dabo the other night, I do sit and wonder what to do with it...
The commodity for latinum assignments still exists. I see them all the time but can't be bothered as it's just not worth it IMO.
How you build up a serious amount of latinum I don't know though. I have maybe 40k on some toons - and don't even know where they come from (do "Ferengi Marauding" give you some?), which with these 1500-1800 a pop would be gone quickly, but the only one worth it IMO is lat for contraband.
I usually take the Dabo DOFF assignment when it comes up. If I go to Drozano for something I'll play Dabo for maybe 15 minutes. Even though I have the Nandi, I think I've only played Dabo once there. During Risa I would play Dabo in between events. Typically I only do it for maybe 15 minutes or so. I also use that ground DOFF that gives 1 per kill. Funny how that adds up over time with all the slaughtering we do lol.
I don't like staying at the same place all the time. So even though my main toon is Rom-KDF and so I'm mostly on Qo'nos, if I'm going to spend some time doing exchange stuff or inventory or whatever, I might head to Drozano. Or if I go to Nukara or am running around doing some Clusters I might stop in there. With the Sunrise FE and the Badlands BZ, DS9 is it's current "home" and that has Quarks with Dabo.
Not that a pallet of latinum can even buy a small moon these days. Dang inflation.
I wouldn't expect them to do much with latinum. Like a lot of things it's a half-developed idea that's basically been abandoned. It's a theme with Cryptic.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Was in a similar situation but I unslotted him in favor of pretty much anyone else when I hit ~30k. There's just no point to latinum.
Latium could be one of the 'commodities' deposited into special Fleet holding projects, something like
SB Special - "Fund Refugee Colonization Efforts": x dil, y Latinum, etc.
Research Special - "Purchase Ancient Artifact from Smuggler": x dil, y Latinum, etc.
I would also propose that select Ferengi items from the Lobi Store (namely the outfits) also be purchasable with latinum.
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
You need to think bigger: its a toilet made of solid latinum or nothing
Latinum is liquid at room temperatures. this is why it's suspended in (worthless replicatable) gold.
