    The fleet I'm in likely will pass on these because of the current dilithium cuts and recession. :(

    Yay Dance floors!!!

    Maybe this will distract the players long enough, so they forgot how much they got "screwed over" when S7 launched.... And FYI, NOT ONE SINGLE COMMENT from devs in DStahls blog post thread. Quietly hiding behind the curtains again?

    Now with the 2012 Season Seven Dilithium Recession, in full swing! You need to offer me more than a dance hall and a DJ if you want me to spend to buy ZEN to convert into Dilithium!

    Given those curtains are likely made of asbestos? Yeah, they probably are. I'm a little peeved over some of the changes made and I wouldn't venture into that pit if you paid me. Honestly I feel like the Devs (other than Brandon because that's what he's paid to do) that are still active on the boards deserve a commendation for their bravery.

    Oh yeah, the conference room upgrade for the KDF actually looks pretty neat from the screenshots. (I suppose the dance floor is alright...maybe.)

    Without deviating from G-rated language and getting myself another warning, if you wanted me wasting dilithium on useless cosmetic things like that, you should not have nerfed my ability to obtain dilithium for free. I will not be paying you real cash for dilithium, ever, under any circumstances.

    You need to stop trying to steer me to playing how you think I should, and stop trying to chisel at me for more than my $14.99 a month.

    Twice in a row now the KDF-side project sincerely looks better than the Fed-side one.

    Well, I suppose a dance floor makes sense for a large Federation starbase meant to hold personnel for long periods, but shoving it into the Ops level? Really? At least KDF-side, a bar and dancers on the primary meeting level made sense given their ideals and their current state.

    Fed got 2 ships starting off with Season 7. KDF got a bloodwine fountain and upgraded meeting room.

    Think I'll keep hoarding my dilithium like the precious and needlessly-scarce resource it is, thanks.

    My Fleet will pass on this. 600K for Tier 3 Starbase Upgrade Project outweighs this.

    I bet you had a perfectly good income as a Leper before that do-gooder, Jesus, came along and healed you.

    Be quick, though ? when a special project becomes available, it will only be available for a limited time. You must start the project before the end of the feature.
    This is the point that continues to aggravate me. I have no interest in starting any of these unless it is the project which interests me. In the order that I prefer to invest in them.

    Just another dil sink, useless, bad stop laughing at ppl with useless money sink.

    Fix STF npc, bring back some loot into it, bring back dilitium in STF. I put a lot of money into this game but unless things change I will just go back and play civilisation. If it keep going that way I will be play less and less, your taking all the fun out the game.

    We're getting screwed from the front, behind from everywhere, at least have the heart to kiss me before.

    Nice Feds finally get their Dance halls, but with Dilithium earning has been serverely nerfed, it's too expensive to even think about participating.

    A dancefloor? On a military starbase? Right next to the transporter room? :confused: Feels more and more like a leisure cruise. I guess the next project will be half-naked girls dancing at the pole and some teenies kissing each other in the corner?

    C'mon ... it's not like the days of Kirk, Spock, Scotty and McCoy (Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor not a pole dancer!) Day one of TNG introduced bar lounges and families on deep exploration ships. :rolleyes:

    Looks nice, but sadly being that I'm the only active member in my fleet for the last few months and with the now outrageous amount of Dilithium required for everything else, I can't spare 200,000 Dilithium for a DJ, I'll just use YouTube and my imagination, thanks.

    If you considered halving the price of these upgrades, then I would be much more inclined to continue purchasing them.

    There is no way I can afford this after the Great Dilithium Grab 2012. If I make 8000 Dilithium a day for the next week, I will finally finish my current Special Project. After that, I can't even try, because I can in no way afford to sink 200,000 Dilithium into cosmetic upgrades that don't do anything when I now have to spend Dilthium to even play the basic game, with less opportunities to earn it. Poor show.

    How about give the fleet leader the option to enable/disable the various visuals associated with all of these special projects?

    It may be nice to have random tribbles scattered around sometimes but it would also be nice to shove them all out the airlock every so often and clean house... or maybe open and close blast shields for the outside view... or only invite the DJ in and setup the dance floor when the fleet is having some special event... etc. etc.

    This at least would allow some control vs. just all or none random visual clutter.

    It is now. All my friends gave up on this game months ago. I still play because I actually put real money into it.
