    Probably tomorrow and definitely not 50% off. Last year it was 20%. Zen is never discounted. You get extra Zen. I don't think that was run at the same time either. Though come to think of it, we haven't had a Zen Promotion in a bit.

    According to this, in 2014,

    http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9006753-black-friday-sales!

    Zen was discounted, but the C-Store 20% discount was only for services.

    Well, gee, OP. Without a question mark in your thread title, your post looked more like someone sharing information, not asking about misinformation. Got me all excited about nothing.

    No sales for you!

    Sorry, but regardless of what that says EVERYTHING in the C-Store was 20% off on Black Friday (only). Not really announced in advance.

    Sales were announced beginning two days ago last year, with STO having its starting 'today'. We have none of that yet. So given that, we will either hear something today for the Weekend OR there will be an unannounced in advance Black Friday (only) sale tomorrow.

    Hmm... A Triple Post, actually. Check the Zen & C-Store section as well.

    I don't recall them giving any advance notice that a sale was incoming in previous years. It just showed up and was generally decent.
  • samt1996samt1996 Member Posts: 2,856 Arc User
    I hope so, I need the Command Cruisers and the Arbiter for the traits.

    That's one good sized chunk of change.
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,572 Arc User
    Well there is a new news blog that dropped about two hours ago about this week's reward in Stormfront. Nothing else.

    Well... for those of us who hate shopping it's nice to know the one day we should.
  • qjuniorqjunior Member Posts: 2,023 Arc User
    I have a few things on my list as well. The Dreadnought pack would be nice, gotta love that T6 Guramba. The Resolute has an amazing trait...... not sure about Command Cruisers, very expensive to get them all and the traits are horrible, unless I missed something. Oh, and the Escort bundle, that T6 T'Varo calls out to me.....

    Well, so far as the Command Crusiers go, 'All Hands on Deck' is one of the best Starship traits available.

    I forgot about that and what the trait actually does, the news section annoys me too much to look up old stats. I always forget to check the c-store ingame before I log off. :)

    The Resolute trait does something similar with engineering and command iirc. Nice Combo, no cooldown on anything ! Still expensive though. I never buy single ships that come with bundles, one never knows when you want the rest and then it's full price time.

    I am sure though that I will not invest in T5 anymore, I own most of those ships anyway and still boycott those Dyson thingies on principle.

    If I get one dollar for anyone following that link and not realizing that it's from 2014, I'll probably get enough money to buy EVERYTHING ! o:)

  • samt1996samt1996 Member Posts: 2,856 Arc User
    The tactical command cruiser trait is a must have and the science one is extremely useful on some builds.

    And the Concord is prettiest. ;)
  • samt1996samt1996 Member Posts: 2,856 Arc User
    The Resolute trait adds radiation damage to some abilities. Not sure how useful it is.

    Ah, now I know why I am confused, in some other thread people had switched the names of the traits, that's why I thought the good one was one the Resolute.

    Anyway, can I haz Sale now ? :*
  • berginsbergins Member Posts: 3,453 Arc User
    Yes. The ships are for sale now.

    But not the Jupiter.

    And for sale, not on sale.

    Have to say, on a note that has nothing to do with Cryptic or STO, but does relate to the subject matter in general; I absolutely loathe 'Black Friday'. Should be renamed 'Day of Ultimate Greed'.

    They are trying very hard to introduce this day in continental Europe too. We don't have a Thanksgiving day and Friday is a normal work day over here. Yet letter boxes and billboards are full of Black Friday sale announcements. My father was wondering why anybody would advertise a sale by referencing it to the stock market crash of 1929 :D

    It was so bad in the uk that Asda (part of Walmart), who introduced it last year won't be doing it this year. Cyber Monday is better anyway: not only do you avoid the crowds, most people aren't paid until then anyway.

    Why so slow, Cryptic? Everyone else already had their Black Friday specials up and going early this morning. You're late to the party!

    This! I can only roll my eyes every time companies try to introduce some US-American holiday or "habit" to Europe. We never had to pretend not to be home on 31st October, now you get harassed just because some firms want to sale their cheap chinese made plastic junk.​​

    They did it before, so it's not that unusual to expect it again.
