    Unfortunately, I have all the C-Store T5s and I never got any free Upgrade Tokens. :(

    Tempted...I've never owned the C-store oddy. Question...If I get an Odyssey cruiser and unlock the bridge, can I use the bridge on other ships/cruisers?

    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    I'm guessing because the one bundle that I'm most interested in (Galaxy) contains a T4 ship as well as two T5s it wasn't included in the sale. For me the only reason I'd buy a T5 ship is for console set bonuses instead.

    Very tempted to get the Dyson Mega Bundle. Been wanting to get some more ships for Admiralty and there always seems to be a need for more Science on my KDF and Rom alts so...

    *headdesk*

    Guess I'll need to see if I can scrounge up enough resources to do this.

    Sweet what a waste since the t5 ships are pathetic in the new system as even the upgraded version sucks compared to tier 6 ships due to lack of bonuses.

    T5-U Scimitar still holds considerable weight - not compared to the T6 Scimitar, of course, but if you're on a budget, a free ship upgrade in combination with a Scimitar is a pretty good way to supercharge a suffering Romulan.

    I caved and bought the T5 Patrol Escort, then got a module to get the Fleet variant and used one of my free 8 upgrades I have in my bank and upgraded it.

    The Patrol Escort is awesome. Wish they would give it Tier 6.

    A number of those t5U's are not to be sneered at. they may lack a bell or whistle but can easily be as potent as a t6.

    Some of us have to work, you know. Kind of frustrating to get home, see your email, log in, only to find I missed the sale by 45 minutes.

    I too was at work all day and again a great sale that I would have gotten in on but was over by the time I got home. Every time.

    Not sure what they could do with a T6 version but I guess the obvious would be to add an ensign boff seat, they could replace the fused weapon slot with an experimental weapon slot and give it an experimental version of its Tempest Tail Gun but restrict it to that one ship.

    Now we just need a 50% off Tier 4s, 60% off Tier 3... and even then I'd have to think hard about forking over cash for a ship I'd never use just to get an A.S.S. card.

    10AM to 6PM PST...

    Ridiculous..

    Don’t wait! The Flash Sale Anomaly can be gone before you know it!

    It's f**king gone before I even know it was there.

    Some of us work...you know, have jobs...responsibilities.

    Kinda sucks that people like myself don't even get to spend the money we earn on sales, because they happen while we are at work...\

    Suggestion: Try changing up the Time Zone sometime, of maybe run the sale on the weekend...you know, when people are at home. Not everyone that plays this game is a school kid, with most of the day to spend online...

    I totally would have bought a T5 pack on sale, but not wasting my money on them full price...

    We get tiny amounts of content with more bugs than fixes, and you keep begging for more money...where is it all going?

    I love Star Trek, and STO, but it's getting kind of annoying, that the devs do not listen to the players. :'(

    Once again, reminding Cryptic that they're ignoring a huge portion of their player base. Why are all the flash sales at a single timezone? Can we please have them run for 24 hours, or have them run in timezones other than 10-18 PST? Let the people working and sleeping actually have a half decent shot at getting them.

    When you buy something from exchange it can be counted as "free" because EC can acquired without involving real money.

    Another flash sale another obligatory post pointing out that for a global market the time window is idiotic. At the very least announce it earlier so folk get some warning rather than seeing it on the launcher the next day.

    Another sudden night sale (because I'm from Europe).

    Thanks for nothing.

    sounds like the Borg control sphere was really dropped on this one.

    Well, there's your problem! It's actually PDT, not PST! Maybe that will help you get to the next sale! :D

    And obviously after all this time, Cryptic doesn't care one iota about people who work and/or live in different timezones. Why you'd want to aggravate your customers is beyond me, but I didn't go to Trump University like the Cryptic sales staff did.

    I was referring to buying T5s will get you an Upgrade Token 'bundled' with it.

    That's the equivalent of paying 0 EC for them on the Exchange, hence really really free.
