Why can't I Buy a T6 Constitution?

blairbrianblairbrian Member Posts: 24 Arc User
Why can't I Buy a T6 Constitution? I am willing to pay the money. But the only way to get the T6 Constitution is buying R&D Boxes in the hopes of maybe getting one? That is a rip off! It is a shame what people put up with today. People allow anyone and everyone to take advantage of them. And they say nothing about it and even get angry and defend being walked all over. It's sad.

    Whenever I see one of those R&D Rare box ships, well the Constitution especially it disrupts my immersion in the game. I will conceed that one of my Fed Captains does use the T6 Miranda but those were still in service at Wolf 359 and the Dominion War as well I believe.

    I feel similarly about seeing the T6 T'liss, affects my game immersion. Though again I admit the T'varo is an older ship and I use that, it was never treated as an older ship in game.

    T6 D7, no objection here Klingons are known to refit, repair, and update older ships for very extended periods of time.

    The Kelvin Timeline ships are parallel universe ships in a similar fashion to the MU ships, so they get a pass.

    The Discovery ships however.... The Walker looks modern enough, so fair game, but the Discovery itself it just pains me to see in and out of game....

    Buy keys. Sell keys on exchange for credits. Buy ship on exchange for credits.

    PROBLEM SOLVED!

    Why? I don't know. Maybe you didn't learn multiplication?
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    As others have said. Buy keys, sell keys on the exchange. Buy ship off exchange.

    Problem solved.

    The gamble boxes are a horrible thing, sure they make a lot of money for the companies, but they are a slimy thing to do to your customers. You want to sell me something, fine. Just keep the RNG out of it.

    They are Ferengi Dabo Wheels.

    Who wants to spin the wheel?

    Great news buddy; you absolutely CAN buy it! Here is how:

    1: check the exchange for the price of the ship (I'm going to say 1bil for example)

    2: next, change the selling price of master keys (I'm going to say 4.25 mil for example)

    3: take the price of the ship (1bil) and divide by the selling price of keys (4.25mil)

    the result = 235(ish)

    4: what that means is if you buy 235 master keys (with zen) and then sell those keys on the exchange for 4.25mil each, you will have the 1bil EC you need to buy the ship.

    So yes, you definitely can buy the ship without having to open packs and play the game of chance.

    As for why you can't just buy one from the C-Store, official word is that CBS won't let them. You'd have to ask CBS about the reasoning.
