Your votes are in and, due to the results being so close, the Temporal Destroyer* AND Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier are 40% off (price reduced from 800 to 480 Lobi Crystals) in the Lobi Store from now until server maintenance starts on Thursday, September 12, 2013!

In addition, almost all** items in the Lobi Store are still being discounted by 15% until server maintenance starts on Thursday, September 12, 2013! Now's the time to pick up those items you've saving up for.

We hope you enjoy this promo!


*Opening the reward pack that contains the Temporal ship will grant you one (1) faction specific Temporal ship
**Any new Elachi items, as well as items that items that normally cost below 10 Lobi Crystals, are excluded from this discount. The Photonic Tactical Officer has now reverted to being 15% off until the date and time mentioned above.

    That's really cool of you guys to do that.

    Although when I saw that the Temporal Destroyer won, I went ahead and got my JHDC. Kind of wish you guys would tell me these things before hand lol. Not really mad...just mildly irritated perhaps. Anyways, this is still good news for those who wanted a JHDC.

    It's nice that they put this stuff on sale at a discount,but they need to do something so people can get Lobi crystals by doing a mission.not everyone playing this game can afford to buy lots of lockbox keys and duty officer packs.they can try to earn EC so they can get them off the exchange but that is time consuming and a lot of people will miss out on this discount because they won't earn enough Lobi in time.My hope is that in the future when they do this again they can add a few missions to earn lobi.Might be a good to make the Risa flying high mission for lobi,give us a chance to use the floaters for something other then a space filler in our inventory between summer events.

    Luckily those people who can't afford those things can play the game for free and do not actually need any of the items from the Lobi store.

    The lobi store, and lockbox key sales, are easily two of the biggest factors that fund the game's future development.

    If you can't afford it, don't worry about it. Log in, enjoy the game.

    Its a F2P MMO. Its either pay or grind your face off. And honestly we're kinda lucky to have the option to buy the keys from the cash shop and for EC.

    Yes! I could use this ship for my PVP tactical character!
    I just need 200 loby, and I have the money to buy the duty packs! Is perfect..

    But.. one moment, my tactical character has no reputation, and the grind for my main character make me wish I never have to do that again..

    Ok War Thunder, have my money! Yak 9 and B-27, here I go!!

    Maybe next time Cryptic.

    Wow! That's unexpected!

    Thank you, Cryptic, for this move, both ships are awesome!

    Interesting move...

    I wouldn't say the votes were close, there was 100 between them, but at least this way the value of the Temporal Destroyer wont be too badly affected.

    If there's one thing to learn here, its that being vocal certainly gets you what you want!

    Still $75-80 too much for being a micro transaction. Though even then it is pushing it.....

    I agree on this. Most I have on 1 character is about 30. I don't have the funds right now for money transactions to buy the keys out right. I don't have the EC either, as I never hit over the 10 mil cap. That was even after doing the Romulan Rep. As all I did was break even. There is several items I like to get. But the means is not really there to help get them.

    This is a very sweet deal. However I don't have the funds right now to buy enough keys to hit the price. Plus what $ I will buy on Zen is going to my new Romulan Ship I want to have. Even with EC of buying the keys. As they usually run around 1.5 mil a piece. With me hadn't even got close to the 10 mil mark that kills the key or buying it from the exchange. Currently Lobi is kinda out of my reach for now.

    Hope the sell comes back again. Perhaps by then I will be able to get one. Cause I tend to start buying keys with $ after I get the ships and other stuff from the C Store first.

    Cryptic being so generous lately, i am afraid with what they will come up with in the future...

    :)Cryptic,

    This is a great deal, too bad I already own a Romulan temporal destroyer. Also, just wanted to point out, I have zen and lobi credits earmarked for any new Romulan items/versions you might add to the game....

    One of the nice things about this is that exchange prices on these ships have crashed hard for the time being. They are both 65m~, that's 10 romulan doff packs if you want something to sell for EC which is 2750 zen or ~30 bucks. Which is cheaper than they've ever been.
