Does anyone know if a Radiometric Converter is hard to get?

How hard is it to get a Radiometric Converter in-game? Direct 2 Drive has a newl exclusive item, but I wanted to make sure if the item is truly exclusive like a Red Matter Capacitor, or just uncommon or hard to get. The digital deluxe version and its items are the last items I have to get for this game. I wants me Joined Trill. :D

LIMITED TIME BONUS ITEM - Radiometric Converter

This starship Engineering Console Mod absorbs theta radiation from incoming attacks and sends the energy directly to your EPS conduits to increase your ships power levels.

    Since it is a Bonus Item, it is an incentive to buy the game from D2D.. the item is not available in game unless you buy that package deal.

    Kinda of like the TOS Enterprise from Gamestop or the Liberated Borg Bridge Officer from Amazon.

    I figured as much. Do the features seem worth the $40 bucks, or is there a uncommon or rare equivalent of this item already in the game? If so, what is it and how long until I can access/afford it as a Leuitenant Commander?

    There's no equivalent, least not atm, and you should be able to use it as long as you want like any other c-store 'exclusives'. SyFy also ran an EMH module after release. Both of which were different from the original offers. Seems just bit of a ploy for people to buy multiple copies rather than just an incensive to sell more copies to new players.

    That's what it seems like, especially with the EPS "readjustment" (I hate the N-word) with this patch. :)

    Worth $40.. Don't look at it that way.

    If it is a console that you think will augment how you would play the game.. evaluate if it is worth the expense..

    but keep in mind

    #1) are you monthly or Yearly or Lifetime on subscription. the game key will give 30 days game play ($15 value) .. if you have a Lifetime Account, it is pretty worthless for game time.

    This now makes the game + bonus value $25

    2) How much is a hard copy of the game worth to you? If you already have a copy of the game disk, how much value does the Backup copy have to you?

    Now subtract that from $25.. now evaluate if the console mod + your game play style = the remaining cost?

    so is it worth $40 to get that copy of the game to you to get the console mod?

    No one can answer that for you.. it has to be something you decide for yourself.
