A 1 in 500 chance would mean that before you open any boxes if you have 1,000 boxes then there is a 13.5% chance that you get nothing, GOOD DAY SIR! A 1 in 1,000 chance means (before you open any) a 36% chance of Mr. Wonka shouting at you.
Yes, but it would make the few you might get go a lot farther.
With that said, in the past year since I've been back playing I've pulled 12 Epic Coupons. With maybe around 800-1000 boxes opened on 10 characters. I've got a small stack of them rotting in my bank because I honestly have no real use for them. I wish I could sell them or a ship from them on the Exchange. (looking at my bank I have 2 Epic and 3 UR's, and I just used 2 Epic's on my Temporal recruit about a week ago to get the Bajoran for Domino and the Breen one for Cold Hearted) So yes they do drop. It's all at the whim of the Random Number Generator.
A bunch of the weapons like and ship items are account unlock. The bajor stuff and the electric gun set and sheild are unlocks along with several other low end parts.
If those where account bound tokens, available only in the bundles.. it would rise its value more... and actually kinda justify the price.

I've burned throug around... 500 boxes or so I think...
Mind you, I never aimed for getting one, it was only for the RnD thingies.
I am one of those people that builds up every alt, they all have Mark XV Epic Ground and Space.. I have 10 characters, so as you can imagine, I have opened thousands of Phoenix Prize Packs.
The entire time, I have pulled 2 Epics in all of it. For me, it wasn't a big deal, I have everything in the Epic store, I actually broke down both tokens because there was nothing I could do with them. Still, for those that actually need these things, there is almost no chance of actually getting one.
The Odds on the Epic tokens are the lowest of all the RnG in the game, and the odds are ridiculously low almost to the point of being insulting.
That's the final kick in the...shins. You can't sell them, trade them, gift them to someone else who really really wants one.
I have all of the event ships too. I've been clinging to my 2 epics for years now in the hope that something good will be added. I'd break them down to UR for ship-X tokens except I know I might never get another epic. About the time I give in, Cryptic might add (( wonderful thing x )) to the Phoenix store.
It wouldn't shock me, but wasn't it several years later that bundles with tokens first appeared? I don't give Cryptic credit for being that cunning with their Evil Plans
Yeah, that sucks.. it would have been nice to at least be able to gift them. I am sure that will never change though because they don't want them sold on the exchange because.. reasons.
That is a good idea and that's your problem. Ideas like this that would actually increase the value of Dilithium are ones that Cryptic has no interest in. Their talk about wanting to fix the exchange is just that.. talk. Empty words backed by nothing.
Hit it right on the head!
Well if you like to work for free.. thats great for you, but profit is what keeps a company working... i do not agree with some of their choices... but i'm ok with them getting money, when what they offer have perceived value..
