New currency idea.

We have dilithium, lobi, energy credits, and gold pressed latinum. But where are the quatloos? I feel we need quatloos.

    One thousand quatloos on this not being implemented!

    We don't need any more currencies. As crashdragon said, it's a pain in the backside.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    As it has been pointed out. The Energy Credits should be the most useless currency we have. Sure they work in the Federation. But in the Neutral Zones, the Empire, The Republic, Alpha Quadrant and Delta Quadrant, Gold pressed latinum would be the primary for of currency. So it's not about needing another currency. It more about using the right currency.

    I know it was tongue in cheek, just by your use of quatloos ;)

    Doesn't mean we can't chime in. lol

    I agree, it should be added to the game. Too little currencies. ST is, among other things, about diversity.

    Quatloos are never going to be a uniQue or reQuired Quality Qurrency in this game.

    So Quickly and Quietly, acQuiesce this loQuacious Quagmire of a Quirky Qonversation.



    Now, I'm going to go acQuire some teQuila liQuor to Quench my Qravings.

    An even better idea is to change the Exchange so that items can only be listed for quatloos instead of EC. Thus all items should be delisted on the Exchange and returned to the captain who listed it.

    So how can we get quatloos? Simple, every ground enemy will drop 1 quatloo that can be picked up. A boss will drop 2 quatloos. Therefore, in a ground queued mission the first player to click "Take" will get the quatloo(s).

    I would think by definition a currency would be listed under the asset tab and not be an item anyone can take.

    Just trying to put a different spin on things to "spice up" competitiveness in STO.

    Oh, and the drop rate of 1 or 2 quatloos was inspired by ESO.

    and if we add quatloos, we also have to add darseks, leks, diraks, doraks, frangs, isiks, litas, renns...where does it end?

    absolutely not - we have WAY too many currencies as it is​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    I remember a long time ago they made a big deal about dropping a bunch of currencies from the game to make things simpler and easier to understand. Then they later added a bunch more currencies to make things complicated again ...

    Quatloos have a special iconic status to the Trek universe, and are far more memorable than anything shadowfang mentioned.

    I would love to see them implemented. I would love if they were used almost exclusively for betting and could only be gained by winning bets.

    I do not think it is likely to happen.

    That happens in pretty much every game where Devs go on a rampage trying to "make things simpler for the players" without realizing what the multiple currencies are ACTUALLY FOR in game design terms... Usually on the second or third try they figure it out, which is better than the initial spread but still meets the inescapable need to not have your most brokenly easy/rewarding activity flood out every other portion of the game.

    In honor of JJ-Trek coming to STO how about monetizing Lens Flares? B)
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
