    So this is the final stage? Is this subject to the possibility of it hitting holodeck very soon? Like tomorrow?

    They're more than doubling the dil cost on fleet weapons. And not actually lowering the dil cost on fleet shields, deflectors, etc, so I'm not sure how this is a "balancing."

    See here

    I guess the strike tag doesn't work but whatever

    Noooo! I really wanted to use these to advance my crafting XP! 6,000 XP may not be enough to justify using the "finish now" button. :(

    I feel bad for new players. Will see if there is anything from the rep/fleet stores I might want in the future and buy it tonight. The devs have gone insaine with the dilithium sinks.

    Notice how they removed the "it's not on its final state" known issue from crafting.

    Are you freaking serious with these new dilithium prices? First you take away exploration, which was the fastest time-wise to get a little dilithium each day, and now you continue to raise the dilithium cost of items? When on earth is this TRIBBLE going to stop Cryptic? This is getting out of control at this point...

    Well, it's not a prank, but it is a mistake. We're fixing this immediately. The prices should actually be coming down, not up.

    OK, so Adjudicatorhawk has mentioned it is a mistake. Fine.

    Hopefully S 9.5 isn't coming tomorrow as some have speculated, so they can iron all this stuff out

    ----

    Still - please do look at the feedback people have given elsewhere regarding the duty officer UI system - this is a big part of the game for many people and does need more attention - the current direction is going to make it challenging and frustrating to use.

    Shew!!! I was thinking that was some crazy cost increase when you consider it takes dilithium to provision, fleet credits, and more dilithium to purchase... way expensive.

    Could there be some clarification made also in regard to the Rep gear?

    There's the Rep Store stuff...and then there's the Space Set stuff. While the Rep Store prices show a reduction in prices, the Space Set stuff...er...shows some reduction in some cases but major increases in other. Cause it reads like a 34k Deflector is going to be 32.5k...but that a 15k item is now going to be 32.5k as well.

    I wish you would cut the cost of up grinding 5 blue doffs for 1 purple down to a more reasonable dil price like 1k dil, since you've removed about 40% of the assignments to obtain doffs.

    Thank you for the quick reply. I was somewhat mollified to see the price increase (as, in my opinion, the time/reward ratio for fleet gear is pretty bad to begin with), and I'm glad to see you guys correcting that issue. I understand time-for-gear and I understand you guys need to make your money, but running fleet weapons at 22k dilithium and 20k fleet credit is just unreal and would have pissed off more people then it would be worth. Thanks for the quick response.

    STRONGLY AGREE. And can you PLEASE make the Romulan doff grinder on New Romulus actually spit out Romulans and Remans, not random Federation doffs?
    Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and the players love it! No, seriously! ...Why are you laughing so hard? :(

    For the love of Trek!

    If the devs want to "balance" the fleet stuff versus the crafting then I'd be okay with increasing the cost in Fleet credits but NOT dilithium. Dilithium is a pain to build up quickly unless you dump real cash into the game. Players can build up fleet credits "relatively" quickly without needing to spend real-world currency just by spending time in the game (earning fleet marks and other resources and contributing those to their fleet projects.

    Going the route of increasing the cost of fleet gear by increasing the cost in Dilithium just smells like a money grab. If you increase the cost in fleet credits at least you can argue that you're also trying to help fleets by getting players to contribute more to their fleets in order to buy the gear.
    In the immortal words of Captain Sisko: "It may not be what you believe, but that doesn't make it wrong."

    Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.

    Hawk, what category does the second space sets like the proton particle stabilizer that currently go for 15,000 dil go into? Stay the same?

    So Romulan weapons will drop. Will the other ones that are only 19205 dil increase?

    Thank you for the update, adjudicatorhawk. Fleet gear costs both fleet credits and dilithium. Are there any changes to the fleet credit prices?
