Anyone out there who can help an old TOS fan? (T6 Constitution)

Hi everyone,

I'm an old TOS fan (see forum icon), and have been trying to obtain the T6 Constitution since the R&D boxes were released.

Unfortunately RNG seems to hate me and my timing is terrible. I got nothing from 10 R&D boxes (I promised myself I wouldn't gamble anymore than this, because 10 boxes or less seems to be the magic number if you are going to get it through RNG). So I bought and sold a bunch of R&D boxes and ground out EC.

I've managed to scape together a total of about 965 million through all my characters, but as I said my timing is terrible. I only recently got that put together, which, while a crazy amount of EC, is about the going fair price for the ship. But everytime I am on, and try in the trade channels, the people on at the time are asking for over a billion EC for one (it's pretty obvious they are trying to gouge people).

So any kind-hearted individuals out there willing to sell me a ship for a good price of every single EC I have? lol (965 million). Please PM me when would be a good time to meet). Thanks!

    :thumbsup: for this NOT being a begging thread asking for a free ship, just wanting it at close to market price. I hope you succeed.

    good luck, I know one fleetmate that specifically sold for 750mil to not be an over-greedy TRIBBLE. So there ARE some people out there willing to sell below max

    You're so close dude. I bought one last night for 1.2, I saw someone today on the Trade Channel asking 1 BIL + 10 keys. You'll get one. If I were you I'd blow another $20 on Zen to get enough keys to make up the difference.

    Yeah, it seems you timing has been a little off and it is no surprise that you have not received a TOS Constitution after only 10 attempts at opening promo R&D packs. While the 1% odds of getting a grand prize ship from R&D packs is better than the 0.4% - 0.5% chance for lock boxes, it is still pretty low.

    Since you are so close to having enough EC to purchase the ship, I recommend you bit the bullet and purchase Master Keys with real money if you have to get to 1 Billion EC and have at least 10 master keys on hand to barter with.

    You probably still have sometime to get the ship at a "reasonable" price before it can potentially skyrocket since there is still of supply of the promo R&D packs on the Exchange. On top of that I still have the 20 packs I purchased from the 20% off sale still sitting in my inventory.

    Good luck, you are very close to getting what you want. Just close the gap as quickly as you can before a potential spike puts the ship out of reach.

    Just delete the Ship Pack, you don't really care about it anyway.

    Hi everyone,
    (it's pretty obvious they are trying to gouge people).

    Just count after it, ship is 1/90, by the 10k open on test server, its like always, 1/100ish.

    the dev pack you get worth 2m, the 10 lobi worth 3m, so it cost 11,5m to try to win the ship / pack (back when it costed 16,5m), because the rest come back in lobi and dev pack. 90 x 11,5 is 1035m, so that is the cost of opening 1 by tribble test. asking 1,1 - 1,2b for it, is their profit for risking a lot of ec to open more, its not gouge, no one will open them for a lot of ec to sell you one for less than its cost to open.
