Hello Gentlebeings,

I purchased a the 3 month Labor Day offer on Friday and was wondering when I would see the stipend that was offered with it?

Thank you

    Most people get their Stipend within a couple of days of starting their Gold Membership. Keep in mind that it goes directly to your Zen balance in the C-Store. It does not show-up on your Account. The only way to see it is by accessing the C-Store in-game or on the website and seeing a 500 Zen increase in your available balance.

    If you do not have that increase you need to file a Support Ticket. Posting on the forum will not do you any good.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Do you know whats a bit frustrating? My gold subscription was auto-degraded to silver a few days before I was supposed to get my Stipend?

    Logged a ticket, still no reply.

    Now I have to wait another month and have lost out on 400 cp!!! + 23 million in lost energy credits.

    I am more than just a bit frustrated.

    Can you go into some detail on how you take 400cp/500zen and make +23 million ec out of it?

    I'm new and am looking for tips!

    You can buy Lockbox Keys for 125 Zen and sell them on the Exchange for around 1+ million ECs. I haven't looked at the current selling price, but when new Lockboxes come out it jumps up over 2 million EC per Key.

    As far as his 23 million EC, I assume he's talking about what was lost when his account went from Gold to Silver - as Silver has a much lower EC limit.

    You're probably right about the +23million and I just misread it.

    @drkfrontiers - as someone trying to build up EC and knows how long it takes, I hope Cryptic does something for you!

    One easy trick is to constantly grind Doff missions. you don't get a lot for most missions, but most give you more EC than they consume. Some missions give you commodities, datasamples, or gear that you can sell. Again, not giant amounts but it adds up.
