    So upgrade weekend is now gone and replaced with this? Why do devs even bother to put events into the in-game Calendar anymore if they will change to whatever or be postponed anyway?

    December 17 patch notes says bonus upgrade weekend is December 31 http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9705933 But I could have sworn it originally said the bonus upgrade weekend was the 24th. It seems we either read it wrong, or they changed it suddenly, including editing the patch notes.

    I'm not surprised they would pull something like that. Everyone has been talking about the 24th being a bonus upgrade weekend for the last week. Being right after a bonus dil weekend is why the dil exchange started going up. Now in a couple days people are gonna go to upgrade stuff and find out they aren't getting bonus tech points and wonder why.

    I guess having an upgrade weekend right after a dil weekend was too good to be true. I thought they finally did something nice for a change.

    Whatever. I haven't bothered to upgrade anything in months due to how costly it is, even when using superior tech upgrades, especially when going for rarity increases on MK XIV stuff. And it's too time consuming to craft enough superior upgrades for 1 chance to increase the rarity. It takes 15 minutes to craft tech upgrades and you can only craft 1 per project slot (2 on a critical success) for a total of 6-12 every 15 minutes, and in my experience it takes a good 40, or even more than 60, just to increase quality once (Edit: for me quality doesn't increase until at least 40% chance in most cases). So it's not worth the trouble for me.

    Yeah, the dil exchange shot up 15 dil/zen in the last 36hrs.

    Reading comprehension fail on my part. I guess bonus upgrade weekend was originally scheduled for the 31st. :blush:

    My point still stands on how much a pain in the TRIBBLE upgrading stuff is though. :angry:

    This will come in handy. I have a few alts to level up.

    Kind of pointless without somewhere to put the experience to use. We need a new spec tree baddd

    It is if yours if filled up. To many we have alts, just started, or trees to be filled. I'm glad they still doing the exp weekend.

    WooHoo, that will make getting my Carrier captain up to lvl60 easier than doing DOFF missions ad-infinitum! (However mixing that with Steam Sales means that latency is NUTS!)

    Thank you Trendy. My Delta Green Cthulu Killers are still below level 20.

    I'm wondering what happens if you buy a skill booster and use it with this event in full effect?

    Can I do that?

    Inquiring Minds want to Kay NOW! woot! Woot!
