And the only game that loot is so degraded. I did pick up loot when I thought 100k ec was something but now..You need 5 Rare loot for that lol.

It's even better at low marks where people are keen to outfit their recruits in high quality gear.
but even with some new characters. I usually discard most of everything. but it is still worth discarding if you pick it up.
A lot of the good stuff is inside the lock boxes. there are a lot of thing id spend money for but I am not a fan of having to spend money with lock boxes.
It just feels off to me but it is what it is until hopefully they can com up with a better system for making their revenue. I think that players would gladly pay for new arenas for pvp and new red alert missions that involved intruders in out ships.
Maybe every once a while if you in near proximity to the borg you could trigger a intruder alert with the borg attempting to assimilate your ship 30 % of the time. Of course have the option to ignore it like normal red alerts. sry im off topic there.
I think loot is still worth picking up ithough f you are bored in game. its Still something to do and it all adds up eventually.

And how much of those did you make by vendoring trash loot? In a percentage if you can
even if its only 1 EC for recycle value its 1 EC that is better in my bank then lost in the either.
pick up and recycle enough items and its surprising how quick the EC can mount up as even most low level low quality item bring in a lot more then just 1 EC when recycled.
sometimes you get a nice surprise with a nice purple mk12 console or weapon.
if I do pick up lockboxes in error I usually just delete them though even they sell for a small amount on the exchange but I have enough stuff going on the exchange to worry about them.
its surprising how many people don't use recycle enough, I have even bought stuff off the exchange and made a profit by just recycling them.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
Can I haz ure stuff then ;p
A day of shooting things used to pay around 600,000. Now it pays 200,000.
Almost not worth it but I do still pick it up much of the time.

I really want to start banking more EC. How frugal do you have to be? Like, what do your contributions to your fleet look like? Mostly FM? Are you Ferengi? Did you make most of that pre-EC nerf?
Sorry for so many questions lol but I am seriously in want of EC for things. If I run a daily balance of 300k that's a lot. I do Battle zones but I just can't seem to make much EC.

You must not have discovered the wonders of marauding. My KDF characters bankroll all my poverty-stricken Feddies.
According to him. Very.
I learned a long time ago that there was no point in buying Gear from the Exchange or Vendors when you are going to out-level it in 3-4 /played hours. So all my characters tend to use whatever Mission and drop Gear comes along until they get to VA. At that point I am grinding for Rep/Fleet Gear - and while there can be some EC cost there is really not that much to worry about.
My T5U Fleet Sovereign is doing 15,000 DPS with the Mk XII Purple Rep/Fleet Gear so I am not in some mad rush to get to Mk XIV Epic. I am blowing through Advanced content with ease and have no desire to do Elite STFs just to prove how cool I am.
I do not open Lockboxs so I am not out buying 1-3 million EC Keys. I have more then enough Dilthium Exchange Zen to buy whatever Fleet Modules I could want, etc. If I want a Doff I just spend a couple of weeks getting it rather then running to the Exchange to buy it. So at the end of the day I do not have a huge need for ECs - which is why you can often find me on ESD giving away a million to some noob.
Heck, now many people are sitting on a level 50+ Delta Recruit and currently have 2 million ECs for 1 week's work?

OK...sorry for being dense but I have to ask where that one click setting is. Also, can it be set to auto-roll for loot in queues? And what happens when you have it on and your inventory fills up?

You still need to hit F to take the item - the 1 click- but once you hit F it automatically just puts it into your Inventory and goes away. If your Inventory is full it will just pop open the glowie but take nothing.
I took the risk and bought a lot of tactical consoles. At worse I figured I would breakeven by simply reselling them for the same price I bought them at. I have resold them from between 1.2 million to 1.8 million EC. A calculated risk, but it has paid off in the end.
More recently I have been purchasing Research Boost (1.5x) for less than 275k each. Since I craft my own gear I need to buy them anyway, but I have resold some on the Exchange for between 350k and 400k each. That is not a lot of EC, but it is decent and over time it can add up. But like I said, since I use them myself anyway I would disappoint if none of them were sold. The point is sometimes you need to start small to build up your pile of EC before you can take bigger risks with potentially much bigger rewards.
For example, I was able to buy an ultra rare Conductive RCS Accelerator Mk XIV [Turn] console for 15 million EC about 2 months ago. I sold it for 35 million EC. So start small, then move on to bigger things with potentially better rewards, but also greater risks.
Thats how pretty much every old player is like. This game can only generate in-game currency via real life currency. The main way of getting ec is spending zen or having someone else spend zen. Don't you think there is something wrong with that?
