Please explain FDC Ambassador Voting

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
So I reached FDC Ambassador on 10th August, and at the time (I thought) Voting at DS9 wasn't implemented.

The other day I saw some chatter in-game that people were in fact voting. So I head out to DS9 and talk to the Ambassador on the upper level. Its apparently working now - thanks for letting us know :rolleyes:

I read the dialogue which is fairly self explanatory and vote for my preferred Ambassador to visit the station.
A few seconds latter he appears standing next to the Voting NPC. But I can't click on him.

.... So what happens now? Do I have to wait there until "the top of the hour" for an NPC to be come active so we can claim the items he offers.

I havn't been able to find a good guide in the subject yet.

    AFAIK The ambassador gives out transwarp tickets, which you do not need because you already have transwarp abilities as Ambassador.

    When reading the description for the 3 options, each Ambassador mentions they "offer" items (like Resources, etc etc). There has to be a point to voting becuase I can't realy find one - I know I am missing something here

    If you have an Excelsior class ship, the transwarp tickets are useless.

    So I gather the point for voting is realy to determine which TransWarp token is available to players that don't have TransWarp?

    Pfffft Thats not much incentive for me to vote. Not even a snazy special effect, tribble, pat on the back ... snif snif :(

    Exactly. You can't interact with the ambassador, but other people can. Take some of your non-ambassador alts there and pick up some resources or transwarp tokens.

    The voting has been working since the diplomacy was added in - but it's not working correctly. Only Ambassador Murquin (the one that gives K7 tokens) will give tokens. The other two ambassadors are stuck giving resources only or nothing at all. There's not really been any mention of fixing them.

    Maybe when Season 3 comes out they will be fixed, as they keep saying that Season 3 is the bug fix patch. But I doubt it, as they have never even mentioned it.
