    To play this i have to rebuy the fleet patrol ( i deleted it) ,rebuy normal tac consoles ,check how much my polarons costs on exchange (probably more than 3 mills even thou they are from s4) ,get normal engi consoles ....all taht for my bug.

    almost makes cryptic's expansion look not so grindy :rolleyes:

    No, you buy a Mirror Advanced Escort. And remember you are only buying VR Mk X/Blue Mk XI stuff.

    i dont think you get it...the game is changed...you can still faw down people with the broken mechanic.If you make groups to to 5v5 then you can do that in opvp and make rules or that Tyler Durden channel (is that still around? )

    I don't think you actually understand what VPvP is...

    Edna, look at the allowed ships and mk requirements. For example, you want to build a vanilla escort:
    -mirror ship => 200k ec or free if you or your fleet have one to give
    -mk xi weaponry (4+3)=> less than 500k ec
    -mk xi equip (9x consoles + 4x ship item through def/engine/core/shield) => from 500k to 750k ec
    With a bit more than 1m ec, from 0, you did all the necessary to pew in vpvp. Consider if you stored the old mk xi blue stuff from the beginning or if you have a fleet or ingame friends who can help you giving these things for free... it's not so dramatic... ;)

    Essentially sound but your costs are out, VPvP has indirectly spiked Mk X purple kit on the exchange.

    No, they know VPvP contains very rich PvPers who will spend, and wont mind because they are spending fractions of what normally would only buy a single Doff for an entire build... :D

    You're right, but despite this, what i mean is that you can spend a little amount of EC to set an entire vessel for vpvp and be competitive;)

    Okay, after going through the seven stages of loss concerning normal PvP, I'm here to give vanilla PvP a try.

    Gustavo Fring@fatman592 is the toon I've set up, I think it meets spec, let me know if it doesn't.

    Just FYI, since the first post says "if the old stf Borg gear existed in mark x" well it does, I have a pair of the old photon torps mark x. I don't know how many others are still in existence though.

    While you are there, could you up my cost estimate by a mil? I want it to be a significant over-estimate of costs for a safety gap, and a build cost now is a little too close to 3 mil for my liking. (just upped my KDF-Rom to VPvP spec, cost 2.7 mil before ship...)

    Done.

    I just want to ask everyone, are there any rules that need to be added/removed/changed? We need to get them finalized soon.

    Regarding rule Input:

    1. May want to clarify MKXI storyline items more:

    a. Should multi-proc weapons be allowed?

    b. Some partial set items are base (Reman shield), but others have unique stats.

    ie, limit storyline options to non-unique abilities, or allow some unique abilities (pengs)?

    2. KDF efficient boffs (don't know the spelling something like Letheans), I've assumed to be allowed, but not stated.

    3. I don't recall it being stated, but I've assumed no doff mission reward boosts in case it's not already stated?

    Vanilla is the buzz word around the starbases of the 44th Fleet and the 44th Assault Squadron. I have 3 toons ready or near ready for vanilla and several others in the 44th are also gearing up. So, let's pour on some hot fudge and let's have a sundae.

    @defcon1776 for channel invite...thx

    I finished my 3rd character for VPvP.

    Engie Healer/tank in the Ambassador. I've always liked it and now have a reason to use it since the Odyssey isn't allowed.

    Gave it a short go last night and it held up extremely well. It even survived Hanks GDF Rams! Lol

    My head still hurts from banging on that wall haha :P

    Is anyone else noticing more 'total newbies' to VPvP yet? I've personally only run into one person so far.

    Are we talking with PvP Bootcamp? Are they still around? Certainly they could benefit from using this rule-set too.

    Is it possible Cryptic has finally scared off all new PvP'rs with the Xindi Lock Box?

    Do we need to start going to Ker'rat and advertising?

    Please send a channel invite to Dasok@dova25

    I refuse to be "content" to "whales" so I chose VPVP

    Thank you for who pointed this link to me : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwI0u9L4R8U

    It explains much about last game changes and why my kdf will PVP only in VPVP
    "There already is a Borg faction, its called the Federation. They assimilate everyone else's technology and remove any biological or technical distinctiveness and add it to their own."
