We would all faint in amazement if Cryptic did this

This has been said before, but theres so many players out there that are poorly equipped, when they enter a ground elite mission. It seems that some do not know where to go, to buy items needed for missions, such as shield charges and Health hypo's.
DS9 and New Romulus are 2 places you can buy them.
One guy told me that its becoming too expensive to buy the necessary equipment in game.
If players did proper research on what to do, then perhaps this would alleviate one problem.
I think until cryptic bring down in game prices, we are always going to get terrible players, who can not afford this or that item.
Would'nt it be amazing, if cryptic brought down prices,(real cash and energy credits) in the game.
Make it alot more affordable to play.
Separate subject. Dead queues. Nothing has been done about that, when is cryptic going to stop living in denial about it.

Consumables are expensive?
As i said, one guy reckoned they were expensive. Personally i dont think they are.
I think its player laziness in not equipping properly, as they want better players to do all the work for them.
As well as DS9 and New Romulus, Kobali is also another place to buy shields and hypo's etc.

Welcome to StarBug Online - to boldly Bug where no bug has been before!
STO player since November 2013
The game throws tons of free gear at you. Doing your reputation? Daily get multiple purple mark 12 items. Finished tier 5? Get everything you need for one maybe two rep items for free. Jemmy set, kobali set, solonae set, breen set all free. Ground gear? Jemmy set free. Purple mark 12s free daily from the rep rank ups. Counter command kit and purple kit mods free from story missions. Consoles? Mark 12 and 13 mission drops, replay as needed = free.
Need a tier 5u or t6 ship? There's currently 8 free options.
Seriously, if you "can't afford gear" you're doing it to yourself. Cryptic can't make things cheaper than "free" and you can absolutely do even advanced level 60 content with mark 12 purples.
Isn't anything expensive since DR? I haven't checked prices for consumables, but I wouldn't be surprised if a stack of 10 small hypos is 8000 Dil now...
Yes. Back when reputation needed large hypos/power cells/shield boosts etc I used to sit at ds9 and post stacks of them on the ah then run to a vendor and buy more then run back and post... It was like minting money. Buy for 320ec sell for 1,500ec in stacks of 20 at a time.
People are silly.
In neverwinter you can do the same with healing potions. My absolute favorite ever was a guy going to the ah and buying my stack of healing potions that I had bought from a vendor about three inches from the ah. I could literally see both the vendor and the guy who/bought my healing potions at the same time. I dunno if he was just that bad at farming gold or truly didn't know he was standing next to a vendor for what he wanted. I probably should have pm'd him to ask.
I'm sure there are players who think they're too expensive. I don't see how this is anyone's fault but their own.
That's why I stopped giving them power cells. They just suck on them nonstop even when not in combat. An entire stack gone in minutes, it seemed.
I can get where the unnamed person is coming from. Up until you reach a certain EC limit and know how to get incoming funds, you're wary of constantly spending on not just hypos and shield gens, but also heals. Odds are if you're that broke you aren't very well geared up, and you will be racking up captain injuries.
LOL: One day a officer took them out of the bank and sold all of them.
The officer thought it was bad idea to help new players out and that EC in the fleet bank was better.
It requires an iron fist to rule over a people who believe they have the god-given right to 172 flavors of cheese. (Also napoleon, and funnily enough relevant to these forums)
