    I don't really know. There is nothing I could buy for EC that I really wanted. I catch myself sometimes thinking about what I could do to slowly increase my EC pool, but thena gain I ask myself what for. The Tos Connie is nice but STO isn't the game I want to play tos ships in, shooting Borg and stuff. If I had them (which I don't) I'd probably get a Narcine for my Deferi character. But other than that it would be pointless market playing to get some more EC which I have no idea how to spend them anyway.​​

    A personal holo-emitter that can make my character appear as a subspace party amplifier (along with the area dancing effect).
  • @angrytarg: That's a good idea, making a Deferi character. I don't think I want to take all that time grinding up another toon, but I wouldn't mind making a Deferi boff from a custom "alien" template. I made a Romulan boff that way once, using the Romulan ears and V forehead options. It looked right and I liked being able to put them in Starfleet uniforms (which you can't do with real Romulan boffs, as far as I'm aware).

    @theotherscotty I created my own Deferi service for them to serve in rather than having them weat Klingon or Starfleet attire, though http://imgur.com/a/2ECqn http://imgur.com/a/XoHPN

    The Narcine would be a good fit as the Xindi council would be impressed by their philosophy of balance I figured pig-1.gif​​

  • ^ That makes sense, given that Defera isn't a member of the Federation (yet).

    I would keep that 140 million and try to save up more for either a Vengeance or a D4x (I would probably get the Vengeance sooner- D4xs on the Exchange are expensive)

    First of all: you don't have to spend money if you don't know what for. You can wait for the money to slowly grow naturally, or you can use it to play the exchange if you like that (beware though, you might end up losing money if you don't know what you're doing or something unexpected comes up, like the infinity lockbox)

    Second: look at your build and related stuff: is there something which would help you? That one console, that one doff? That's not a whole 140M, but it can help.

    Or if there is something you want, that one boff, that one ship, even if you don't need it as such. Go ahead and buy. This is a game and it's supposed to be fun.

    If none of that applies, I'd wait until something like that comes around.

    Right now I'd be eyeing a Temporal Science vessel. I kind of need two - I put my Paradox and Annorax on different captains and both of them can mount the Temporal fragmentation set. :tongue:

    A device that let's me turn EC into Euros. (Or dollars... wouldn't really care at that point :p )

    For those talking about making deferi toons.. (im not sure if all these options are still accurate in the tailor though)

    I'd buy Kemocite-Laced Weaponry training manuals. Otherwise, not a clue.

    I'd wait and see what the T6 Keldon class and T6 JHDC end up being spec'd and what they will trade for a few weeks into the next lockbox.

    140 million is way, WAY too low to buy anything of consequence...multiply it by 10 and then we'll talk​​
    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

    If you time it right you can get a Tarantula, Orb Weaver, Herald Quas, other lock box ship. The Infinity Box changed the market.

    ^ No thank you, I like my green tea just by itself with nothing added to it. I like honey, just not in my tea. I'm a purist that way. lol I appreciate it, tho. :)

    A Herald Dreadnought Carrier, yes I'm still obsessed with that ship and want one so badly

    With an extra 140 million EC laying around... I think right now I'd just save it and put it towards another ship, or maybe just upgrade all my gear to Mk 14 on my main ship.

    Um... Wrong game.

    Anyone with 140mil now still has exactly nothing on the X-Box console.

      • My main character is Kelvin themed, so I'd buy some more Kelvin Timeline stuff for me and my boffs. I figure I've already got the ship, so I might as well get the rest of the stuff too to complete the look.
