well they are comming out with the new orange and violet items which are rarer than rare, plus they were talking on the pod that if you have sft set on idk which mk, i doubt all mk, you will actuall be able to enter nakura system without burining up but its only a talk cause people worked so hard just to get the stf gear. nothing really new i guess but i know there will be new kinds of rare
The ultraviolet color is only for the fleet shop gear and I do not think it will be a random drop in the game as I only saw it in the fleet stores on Tribble and never had any drop when I ran the Tholian event. You need an EV suit for Nukara, as I have the full MACO and would still burn if I was wearing it, the new Tholian Ground set includes an EV suit, Gun and PSG so maybe that is what they were talking about.
Hi everyone, I didn't really pay attention to how much it downloaded vs. copied from my current Tribble build but it was a fairly big operation in additon to the pre-patch from earlier this week. So hopefully this means we are going live today....
dont look at the "patch file" line, it only indicates the file on your HD that will be changed with the current patch.
The actual patch size (and containing new data) is the download size! Try to use a DU meter to see you actual download on your pc and you will see that the download is not the 1 or 3.6 gb that your louncher.exe indicates, but a significant smaller data volume ... just a hint :P

Right...but you do understand that if you have the current Season 6 build on Tribble, it copies those files to your holodeck install instead of downloading all of that again, right? A small download on holodeck for someone fully patched on tribble still could indicate season 6 goes live today. Check the version number in the launcher...just a hint.

listen, find the most recent podcast and near the end they talk about the idea but its a 50 50 percent chance cause ev suit has the oxygen pack on back but the maco and others also have the helmet and suit plus they are hard to earn so it was worth looking into. this pod came out a day or 2 ago so of course it wasn't on tribble cause idea was new and we will probably have to wait a few weeks-months before they say ye or ne
i just wonder since stuff is now zen are they raising the prices on buying stuff from the store or keep it all the same price
I believe during DStah's interview recently he said that prices would be going up by 20%, to keep items in line with their value (as Zen is worth 20% less than C-Points)
Well just out of curiosity I tried logging on. I got me to the download screen and patched up a 1118MB patch in just under 5 mins, then booted me off lol
I would of thought S6 would be more in the GB not MB's?

Yeah, sorry doc but people have already tried launching it. Go back several pages and you'll see taht we discussed this.
So your advice is to scroll through 49 pages of who called who what, who thinks what's going to happen? Sorry, I have a life and a job and a family. Hence my 2 posts (now 3) so far.
I'm just passing on what I saw, TRYING to be helpful.
Which is apparently a rare thing... I'll shut up now. :-\

It has already been explained by PWE. The prices will go up, but it is because of the difference in value of cp/zen. It won't really affect anything, as the new prices will have the same value.

wrong that, only "would" mean that i dont have to DL the "extra" 96 mb from last weekend and the 190mb from 2 weeks ago.
but this still does not explain why ppl have to supposesly download the 1100mb, which is only the indicated files on HD.
at last, i hope that i am wrong and E6 comes out today... but i still dont see any proof for that.

its called compression LOL

The conversion will be the same as a 2000 cpoint ship = $25 = 2500 Zen on the new store.
ok so thats why i have no more to download lol
decompress a 14mb file into a 3.6 gb file ... lol indeed!
sounds logical :P

ok wanted to make sure
The prices are going to get adjusted to reflect the conversion from cpoints to zen, but in actual money value, they are the same.
I believe during DStah's interview recently he said that prices would be going up by 20%, to keep items in line with their value (as Zen is worth 20% less than C-Points)

well 1024 kbytes to a Mbyte and 1024 Mbytes to a Gigabyte.
hope that helps
See my earlier posts. It explains it. Not compression - but what occurs if you have Tribble currently fully patched.
Just how big IS season six? :eek:
mine was only 540 mb not gigs

podcast said they will which rather ticks me off but it should only match price somewhere or another
Master using it and you can have this!
Be black on the right side. Add properly colored Cheron to the game today!
aaah thanx pal, lol, in not completely computer illiterate but some stuff im useless on mostly with those things called numbers XD
