Good luck to all those trying to get the T6 Connie.
Instead of worrying about the Dil exchange peeps that are interested in promo-ships could arrange their gaming efforts towards the acquisition of EC. We are not really talking about luck here just about playing the game.

To all those who play the game and don't spend a single dime on it... I laugh at thee.
It's not you- it's me. I just need my space.
Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

It looks like the Dil Exchange will finally break. I am guessing that by the end of the weekend, we will see a 500 to 1 ratio between Refined Dilithium and Zen. Good luck to all those trying to get the T6 Connie.
Cryptic will just have to work harder in creating more stuff for Dilithium to equal it out, or do nothing and most, if not all of the f2p crowd go bye bye..
The "downward trend" is from a few people trying to undercut eachother, it's mostly 5k and less amounts. I've been watching it and laughing to myself, you'll see a few thousand pop up then a few seconds later the few thousand directly above it will disappear and a similar amount will pop up directly below it.

Yet despite the "wisdom" of some the dillex is trending downward at the moment, incrementally to be sure, but downward none the less.
Overall, it has recently been an upward spike as before the announcement of the promo pack the exchange rate was something like 392:1. It is currently 422:1 and will likely increase on the 25th.
we already got close enough last month. but, yeah, we'll see something over 490 before midnight tonight.
We weren't even close
Not surprising. Chicken Little predicted that same thing for the day that AoY launched and it failed to materialize then, too. Guess his crystal ball has some flaws in it.
This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.
I already predicted the Dil spike. I have enough for 1 purchase of a R&D pack. That will make 4 chances for the ship. After that, I will build up to the Geneva. And that is my final ship purchase.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.

ok, this is why i don't play the real stock market (or the STO market). I was completely and totally wrong about this. Can someone explain this market behavior? Does no one want this ship? Are there that few TOS fans left?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, it's all ancient history. Then - before you can blink an eye - suddenly it threatens to start all over again."
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."

The dilex behavior so far has been entirely consistent with historical data for previous R&D/doffpack promotions. The peak has always been immediately following the announcement.
People do want the ships. But people have always wanted the promo ships, so that's basically nothing new.
so they are not as optimistic about the R&D compared to the lockbox ship? Or is alternate universe that much more popular on here? The last lockbox got way more of a bump than this.

You know for damn sure this is a ruse. There will be plenty of people willing to not only buy the ship at full Market price (750 mil EC) but also who will be whipping out their (or mommy and daddy's) credit cards for the chance to obtain it, just as they did with the JJprise.

The last lockbox was released at the same time with an event requiring people to start new toons and 12 C-Store ships + fleet versions.

It can easily hit that with the T6 connie in a box about to release, personally i use my dil for upgrades why worry about ships im not gonna get , instead work on the ones i got getting the gear up to speed.
Im investing my dil into my KT phasers and torps, loving those tbh my excelsior has never fought better

There seems to be a common perception that the odds of winning the prize from an R&D pack is significantly lower than winning a prize from a lockbox. It could be that people feel there is less value in the contents of an R&D pack then a lockbox.
The promotion is for 10 days or so. Time will tell.

Yo, I say don't let them! Time for Cryptic to issue a surprise upgrade weekend.
