Crafting Sucks

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I just finished unlocking two of the three 3rd (final) tier crafting NPC's, and all the items on them that you can upgrade.. well, they suck.

I can get MUCH better things from the badge vendors on the Sol Station. and the amount of items on the crafting NPC's is severely limited too.

Cryptic, are you going to be improving the crafting system anytime soon? at least add WAY more items to the NPC's and improve their stats? as it stands there's really no point at all in crafting stuff. it cost me about 3 million energy to unlock those 2 npc's and it was just a huge waste of time.

    I am glad you posted this. I have been unable to even unlock one of the crafting scientists. Evevy time I bring a Phaser Array Mk I that I bought from Sol, the stupid commander romaine craft store says I "don't have enough Phaser Array Mk II?"

    Duh, I'm trying to upgrade from Mk I to Mk II.

    The only things that work are medium hypos and shield charges.

    I'm not going to bother with crafting other than trading up those two items for credits.

    you need a Mk II, you upgrade a white (common) item to an uncommon (green) item, not Mk I to Mk II's

    Im honestly thinking this was the money sink they intended for the game. There isnt any other than Ive seen.

    it would be more of a money sink if there was anything worth crafting

    Would probably be more of a money sink if there was actually an explanation in game of how Memory Alpha worked, a progress bar people could see and some notification of when you reached the next teir and who to talk to.

    You know, basic information.

    +1

    Im at teir 2 crafting and it really is nothing more than a money sink. If they removed the need for a white item and added broken weapon, engine type receipe etc to the battery loot table at least it would remove the need to spend stupid money on the echange or farm the TRIBBLE out of low level fleet actions.
