Wasn’t there supposed to be an option to do a buy out where you would get like 700 of the free coupons or something I don’t see it in the Cstore
Are you talking about the current event or the first one that ended awhile back?
The expired one HAD a buyout, it is gone now but I thought I read (in the 10 forward thread?) it will return as a sliding scale buyout like for the Elachi ship.
Yes, but that still wouldn't get you the ship, as you need 2100 points to get the token.
What the buyout option will immediately give you is the Kobayashi Maru Trasponder, 50k of unrefined dilithium and 3 boxes which will give you either 1 Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or 1 specialization point each, depending on what you choose.
Not agreeing with someone doesn't give you the right to be an TRIBBLE.
Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
- quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;
Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.
If you're talking about the 1000Z item in the C-Store that gave you 10 tokens, they did away with that with the new Event System. The buyout now comes at the end, and is discounted based on how much you participated in the Event.

"Event Campaign – Part 1
The Kobayashi Maru Featured TFO will be the first of a series of upcoming Events that will participate in a multi-event system that we’re calling “Event Campaigns,” which will allow players to eventually earn a Z-Store Coupon that offered 100% Off on a Tier-6 Starship of their choice. Established players will recognize this system as an updated and re-named version of the previous progression that allowed players to do the same, and very little has changed in adapting this meta-system to the updated Event UI. The core gameplay remains the same: Participate in multiple Events scheduled over the next several months, to earn progress towards an extremely valuable prize. All of the following aspects of this system remain unchanged:
Players may earn 50 Event Campaign Progress for each day they participate in an eligible event.
Additional Event Campaign Progress can be earned by participating in Bonus Days, after the Grand Prize of an eligible event is claimed."
I used 14 of the 'old' Featured TFO Tokens that I had saved and bought out on the first day. Got 700 progress. Been running the daily Bonus and have added another 150 before I run it tonight. The Dilithium potential is 412,500 (plus the 50k original award) for this Event.

That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
I think that was one of the reasons they killed that Bundle. Ultimates too cheap.

I could see that in a way, not so much that the Ultimate for less than the price of the 20 key bundle was too low for Cryptic, but instead that higher than expected numbers of players paid for the Bundle for the Ultimate and got out of the grind dropping their metrics below expectations.

Well that's certainly not going to make me start buying more keyring bundles, I already threw away too much zen trying to upgrade my current build, I am not doing that ever again. This time I only wanted to turn my sci's build to epic but now I'm not going to bother, I haven't really felt like using that character anymore anyway.

And those people (some of them here since 2012 :rolleyes:) who try to finish an event after maintenance on the final day.
