Trading Lobi Ships?

Well, I did it. I ground dilithium for zen, and energy credits, until I'd opened enough Temporal Lock Boxes to get 800 zen. Unfortuanately, what I was trying to get was the Temporal Science Vessel, and that never showed up.

I know I've seen people posting in Chat hoping to trade ships. Should I try doing that, or is it not worth it / considered spamming?

    The easiest way to get about it is to sell your ship on the exchange and then buy the ship you want.

    Temporal Science Vessel : 87,500,000

    Lobi Ships
    Temporal Destroyer: 72,000,000
    Tholian Recluse Carrier: 73,200,000
    Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier: 74,400,000

    You're short about 13,000,000ec

    I would sell it, but I'm F2P, so my EC cap is 10 mil

    Well, I also have about 6 or 7 mil more in rare items (bunch of isometric charge console boxes, and a point defense console box.) I could probably make 13 mil in a day or two if I sold those and a dozen or so of my purple Doffs.

    You can always advertise on esd or ds9 I usually find someone selling or buying when I do. I know many people have said that you can get chat banned pretty fast if you just spam but I never did.

    you should definitely consider buying the cap increase.
    If you hold on to your 800 lobi until the next lockbox, the new ship could earn you a lot more e.c.

    otherwise, you're stuck trying to find someone to make a deal.

    There's a chat channel ingame dedicated to trading, "TheTradingChannel"
    you will probably find someone who can help you.

    Be careful in zone chat, some folks are trigger happy with the report spam.

    goodluck.
