All the crystals

After some time i have gathered up enough lobi crystals to buy just about anything from the store.

I have a few diffeent toons with different styles however the one i might consider getting some new gear for most is a support based science build.

Just wondering if people have some opinions about the gear in the lobi store that might be worth purchasing.

    I believe the Tachyokinetic Converter is pretty popular, since it's a turn rate boost you can equip anywhere, and also buffs your Criticals. I got it for my Annorax (in fact, the whole set, but I didn't like the torpedo).


    And of course, everyone should have a copy of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, so a Miser's Delight might be the minimum ;)

    Tachyokinetic Converter is a given, naturally. It goes well with the Temporal Disruption Device if you like using tricobalt-level torpedoes, albeit in a chroniton flavor.

    2 things are an absolute must: Tachyokinetic Converter + Bioneural Infusion Circuits. The rest is optional. :)

    Since we're in the DPS mood in this thread, how about we add the Bounty Hunter's Friend to the list.

    And me here using 2 pieces of the Apex set and the Rule 62 console.

    So people seem to think the Tachyokinetic Converter is the be all end all for lobi store items

    In my opinion, these are "the best" lobi items:
    • Advanced Herald Beam Projector: The damage is overpowered and the primary fire mode chains to boot. Oh, and the secondary firing mode is like throwing an exploding truck at your target (and anyone near it!) I'm actually surprised this weapon hasn't been nerfed yet, because everything about it seems absurdly broken right now.
    • Undine Wrist Lance: When/if the beam projector gets nerfed, this is a solid weapon. The primary firing mode is nothing to write hom about, but the secondary firing mode is utter devastation and more than makes up for it. Note that, if you like to switch weapons a lot, sometimes this can jam. Not what causes it, but it's annoying.
    • Tachyokinetic Converter: It's a console that grants +crith, +critd, and +turn rate. Oh, and graviton generators if you care about that, but its main appeal comes from the other 3.
    • Dual Chroniton Beam Bank: If you're using antiproton weapons, this is a decent DBB. While not overpowered, it does have the distinction of being the only chroniton (rainbow beams!) space beam weapon currently available.

    And here's some that interest me, but I don't own personally so I can't truly weigh in on:
    • Herald Armor: Looks badass, has some great stats. Will cost you some set bonuses though
    • Undine Armor: Also has decent stats and in particular, huge toxic resistance. Like above, will cost you the armor portion of whatever set bonus you're using.
    • Elachi Crescent Wave Cannon: Unusually high damage for its firing arc.
    • Plasmatic Biomatter Auto-Turret: This may be neat for plasma cannon builds, but I think there's more "oh that's neat" than "omg that kicks TRIBBLE!"
    • Bioneural Infusion Circuits: Gives a decent amount of crit severity as well as a bit of extra hull strength. I should probably get this at some point.

    Also note that the armors (including the Hirogen one) come with tailor unlocks.

    Anyway, I'd personally hold off on buying anything if you can help it. Wait until the next lobi store discount sale comes around

    Edit: I forgot the Bioneural Infusion Circuits for some reason. Added.

    I'd have to agree. Tachyokinetic Converter is awesome.

    And yes you are right lobi store sales do occasionally happen so waiting for one would be a good idea :3

    No problem. Seems I forgot to mention Bioneural Infusion Circuits (another good console) so I updated the post.
