Now that we use schematics to craft rather than having to have an existing item to upgrade, what are the vendors that sell items at Mem Alpha for?

    30 DXP. Not sure about the human in the central room.

    I still think that a system of sample exchange/trade-down might be worth implementing.

    Easy way to dump the junk you make in the grind to 1600?

    If I were a betting man they are either a holdover from days of yore or will be used going forward once we advance beyond current.

    Good question. I could understand why they may have been kept at Memory Alpha {as others pointed out for the DXP and perhap a place to sell junk}...but when they also added similar NPCs on Qo'nos after they were made obsolete I was a tad puzzled.

    Perhaps they will, as suggested, have a future important function....or perhaps they allow totally brand new players to buy common wares to get them going and/or to experiment with without wasting a lot. But aye Nagus...while I am sure we can both think of a few trivial reasons for keeping them...I was also sort of wondering the same thing {especially when I saw them added in The Great Hall}.

    My main Starfleet crafter unlocked crafting in the original system before the NPCs...and my now KDF crafter after they were made obsolete...so yeah good and valid question lol.

    You can use them to get cheap gear when you rank up.

    You get the same price for recycling, no need to go running all over the station to sell it.

    Are they still charging that 50% markup over face value?

    Are the prices actually cheaper than those NPCs that sell the exact same gear at ESD?

    Not all of the same gear is sold at ESD.

    Was a few weeks ago while leveling a new character but I'm pretty sure Mk 8 gear was only at MA and not at ESD. May also include Mk 10. Not 100% sure. There are definitely at least a few things you can't get at ESD.
