stupid newbie question about data samples

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I am at Memory Alpha and have 25 of one data sample, 24 of another, and alien artifacts. What do I do with them? Commander Romaine keeps telliong me to go find some, but where do I unload what I have??


Also is there a bank system somewhere to store stuff?

Thanks

    Commander Romaine is a store, clicking on her inventory will show a list of items that require certain Data Samples, plus a normal item of the same type you're trying to buy. Basically, it's an upgrade of mid-to-high range stuff.

    You can stash your extra Data Samples in the Federation Bank, of which there is one on Sol Base, as well as Memory Alpha itself (near Romaine). They stack 50 per slot, and if you Scan every Anomaly you see, you can rack up quite a few. :)

    Romaine has a store option. Open it up and look through the items. You'll notice that items do not cost energy credits, but some of those data samples and another item. That is what you use those samples for. More information on what exactly is going on there can be found in this thread:

    On the same floor as Romaine (in the corners) you have a bank/mail and even an exchange. And you do not have to keep those samples in your inventory, they will be taken directly from your bank if you buy something from Romaine.

    Hope this helps.

    Then I have a dumb question because I have tried to put stuff in the bank and it won't let me. So how is this done?

    It works similar to how you equip items. Go to the bank. Open your invetory. Drag item from inventory to bank. The issue you're having may be if you are trying to put items in a Fleet Bank -- I would think if you are not a member of a Fleet, and you try to put items in a Fleet Bank, you would probably have an issue. But the regular bank should work as i've described above regardless of your membership in a Fleet.
