This is much better though when logging in and actually having choices of what I want to play lol.
I would like to know this as well. Not sure whether I want it to or not.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

I have little interest to go back to Nukara again, and the reputation is not enough to re-grind it again...
well the one thing I liked about the rom rep was the story with the missions.... which imo would motivate me more to do more omega grinders.
They've set up for plenty of stories.... Tholian Portals... Mirror Stuff...
Unless Nukara rep comes with a slew of BRAND SPANKIN' NEW Tholian missions and dailies, who the hell would want to go back here and regrind it ALL OVER AGAIN?
How about a space region to accompany the ground maps? Been wanting a space adventure zone for a while now...
I like the stories too. I just didn't like grinding for them. :P
They should've made them an FE arc that started a week or two into Season 7.
The Widow Fighter is a fighter. The Mesh Weaver is the frigate.

As usual, I suppose further information will come in later dev blogs or will show up on Tribble, but is the Azura Nebula group mission on the list for having Tholian marks and will it then have Fleet, Romulan, and Tholian marks?
Also, any sneak peaks at the new space sets, or can you let us know what makes a Tetryon weapon "Refracting?"
And any chance of getting a Tholian Bridge Officer?

from the sounds of the blog. "registering" the set, unlocks it in the rep store, you get to keep the items, and get a few marks from it. so you wont have to unlock the set in store through a rep project, able to get more of them if you want to give them to your boffs for some reason.
as for the nukara rep, im sure they will add more. like the Tau Dewa tholian alert will likely hand out marks, and maybe even the Tau Dewa patrol missions that has the tholians in them.
You get to keep the set..... so you are complaining about getting 150 marks for nothing....derp....
Most of the questions and complaints are reading comprehension fails.....
Well, in exchange for your 150 lobi.
Don't get me wrong, I think the idea is good: if they paid Lobi for the set, they should get a bit of a bonus for having it. I'm not sure 150 Tholian Marks is exactly what it should be worth, though.
I do see the two sides to it: one, you don't want a lot of marks to be available right away, because then people with the set will just blow through the rep without any effort. On the other hand, you want to give them some reward.
I would probably enhance the upgrade somehow, though I'm not sure exactly how. Have the Rep project change the 'old' gear into "Prototype" Mk XII Crystalline Shell stuff with a different color (but the same stats)? Or give say 5,000 dilithium ore per piece plus the 50 marks?
I don't know. I can understand people feeling that 50 marks per piece is a bit stingy, though.
THIS
/thanks
And 150 lobi are just ~20 Lockboxes but hey...
Most .... are reading comprehension fails.....
What does is that I see a distinct lack of explanation as to how we earn these marks outside Nukara and certain Romulan Mark missions like Azura - which means I get the impression that content wise there will be no new missions.
I am disappointed, I was hoping for STF style Tholian missions to go along with the rep system.
Are those Nukara missions going to change from Fleet Marks to Tholian Reptutation marks? If so, where are players going to go whom don't want to do Fleet Mark Events?
And if you are redoing Nukara, you going to fix that frustrating respawn rate?
If you paid Lobi for the Mk XII set, you got the Mk XII set. End of transaction. The fact that they are adding additional value to your set (ie 150 Marks) is entirely bonus and not only do you get a jumpstart on others that will have to wait out the time grind to get an Mk XII set, as you'll already have one, you won't have to pay the Dilithiuim/Mark/Resource cost to buy the set in-game.
It's like you bought a meal, you've eaten the meal, and now that they are offering you free, previously unadvertised, dessert, you're gripping that it's only 1 scoop, and there's not enough whipped cream!
>shakes head< :rolleyes:
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
If you get on of the items from the req box, but already have the full set, can you still trade them in for marks?
Unless your in a group comprised of fleet members you should not receive fleet marks for any content outside the specific fleet mark queues imo.
Seriously, this is completely ridiculous. Why are you removing the tholian reward boxes with weapons and EV suit? Can't you build new content for once?
If all you can do is revamping old content to remove free gear to put it behind paygates, don't call that an update.
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
No, in exchange for nothing. You paid 150 lobi for a better set and you received one. I'm not really understanding how you guys are thinking that you are more deserving of anything. They could just let you keep the set you paid 150 lobi for and GIVE YOU NOTHING. Then charge anyone else who wants it when the new rep drops some ungodly number of Nukara marks.
^^^^ Glad someone else has common sense too...
Perhaps someone can make the argument that a person paying 150 lobi paid money vs a person who will now be able to earn it through free game play... However, the decision to pay 150 lobi in the past or between now and the drop of LoR is entirely up to you, it's your choice. The only value you receive is that you get something that for the moment, no one else can get without paying real money and Cryptic owes you nothing for that. Thank them for your 150 marks and be happy.
That would be very unfortunate....
