Why are you advertising packs and not letting us buy them?

LOL, ok. Can you explain this one? You have the new Andorian Kumari vessel pack for sale for 5000 pounds (5o bucks) which is ridiculous actually, but anyways. But if wont let you buy the pack.

I'm hoping this is some sort of bug, but if so. Why is nothing posted?

It's not in pounds it's in Zen. I know the British economy is struggling at the moment, but at 100:1 I don't think so.

I was able to buy it just fine, much to my aggravation, to find that they don't disclose ahead of time that the console abilities put all your boff cannon abilities on cooldown. I'd avoid the bundle if I were you.

ogarious · February 2013

I have enough zen for it. When I hit purchase it says, "This is not available at this time." So what the hell is going on.

Perhaps they temporarily blocked access to the pack, until the patch fixes the healing and shield issues.

edit: the patch already happened, so I presume those issues were fixed.

ogarious · February 2013

Shoudnt they bother to TELL us that then.

Are you the correct level & faction to purchase it?

ogarious · February 2013

Well, it appears the whole problem can be fixed by completely logging out and back in to the game. For pete's sake.

Yeah, had I known about the cooldown I'd have skipped it too. :mad:

I was confused about the issue with the consoles after hearing players saying that they were supposed to be 2 seperate systems.

Has they stand right now I'd say that the Consoles are not worth using.

Agreed. Bought the buggy pack yesterday, thankfully they fixed the shields and healing on it but they left the consoles the way they were... useless.

The tachyon relay thing seems to be the the best of the 3 consoles since it dont take 10 seconds to fire the damn thing, unlike the the phaser overload BS.

Bad move on my part buying the pack i guess, good job i paid for it all in dil. Id be p!ssed if i had of shelled out 60 bucks for it

Agreed. The wing plateform are nice, but not that great, and need the 3 consoles to really be worth it. The cannon overload is BS, it takes ages to shoot, while you can't do any DPS, for a 20k~ damage (which is what ? A crit with a torp ?), and drain all your weapon power. Which mean, you do no damage after the shot, and you have to use a battery and EPtW to keep up shooting.
They simply took one of the worst beam ability, and added it to cannon, and added another penalty.
The tachyon thing, I don't use it a lot, and shield is not really a concern in STF, where borgs have far more hull than shield. When they have one. Maybe in pvp.

Also, they use phaser damage, which is the most expensive space weapon damage on the exchange. I switched back to my romulan set, and removed the whole console+wing cannon stuff.

Can't say I'm disappointed, its supposed to be a *glass cannon* and really isn't. But its not like this hurts the power of the ship much, what I'm sure a fair bit of people bought it for and definitely not the consoles.

shar487a · February 2013

The only console I found worth while was phaser dispersal relay for Cannon Overload Attacks. Despite the 4 sec. charge time and 3 minutes cooldown, being able to destroy a fully buffed cruiser solo in seconds was very gratifying.

john98837 · February 2013

As sad as it is I am finding this ship is better if you throw out all the andorian consoles and wing cannons and just do a normal escort setup. Getting a bit more dps than my bug does using the engineer version. The tac version would be great if we could get the boff issue addressed........

You mean the layout? You really only need the one copy of EPtS; slotting tactical doffs doesn't really work well anyway since you're still bound by the tactical boff rotations. RSP is nice, but hardly necessary with 100% uptime on EPtS.

If I bought one, I'd consider replacing the last turret (assuming you also run KCB), either going with DPB3+lawlcobalt, or the more likely beam array so I can actually make use of that lieutenant tactical slot.

I run 3xTT1 on my FTER because there's literally nothing worthwhile to do with that ensign, so I went ahead and standardized four tac boffs, differentiating them only by commander ability; the other advantage of this is that I have a lone TT1 to use either defensively or in a support capacity, leaving my other two copies alongside the rest of their rotation (APB1 and CRF2).

Why are you advertising packs and not letting us buy them?
