For those who *do*not* have it, what is so good about Beacon of Kahless?
There are similar/free alternative out there (eg: Phased-Waveform Beacon, Delta Alliance Reinforcements Beacon, etc.) that also call NPC allied ships to help you out for 45 seconds.
So what is so good about Beacon of Kahless, especially for 2,000 Zen points??
(I might get it for 250 zen to 500 zen points, but not for 2,000 zen points!!)

After milking performance players with power creep and fleetleaders with absurd holding prices the past half decade I think cryptic is just on the quest here to look for a wider more general target group to do some spending.
Cosmetics, pets and player housings nobody needs but so many will want might be the bull’s eye here. I love it.
Looking for a fun PvE fleet? Join us at Omega Combat Division today.
but for that purpose only, it's definitely not worth 2k zen

An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

My character Tsin'xing
It is a good (though extremely annoying) device but not really worth the price of an entire T5 ship. The way Mudd's market is set up in bundles for the most part, along with the rather high price per item along with uncertainty about whether things are character bind or account unlock makes it little more than a whale supply center for collections. For instance, I have several characters who could really use the Ophidian cane for rp/style reasons but it is unlikely I will get it (even if it turns out that it is account unlocked) and bundled with other possibly interesting items at that price.
I think the main good thing about the Beacon is, that you can use it immediately after the tutorial on any new toon, like other account unlocks.
Edit: ...And in the description in the Zen store: "This is once per account purchaseand unlocks for all characters on an account"
how many times have you seen in these forums someone say "i would pay to get that again" time for the players to put up or shut up.
Then again, the "disabling your allies" here doesn't mean their in-game characters, but their eyes.
But of course, some will come out and tell you that it's not that disrupting, as if having your entire screen flash white out of nowhere is the best idea *ever*.
Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
- quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;
Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.
For a summon clicky to do damage on enemies it's not that good compared to the delta wing or the hurq nibblers.

Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
Well it "fixes" the visual spam the same way, blasting you hand off with shotgun would fix a splinter in your finger, aka the cure is much worse the disease.
It really doesn't do anything that much better then other similar powers and is highly annoying to everyone who sees it, sure if you want the flavor use it but I would not recomend using the beacon in Group PvE only in soloplay.

That said, they could probably turn the brightness down a touch, many people do play the game at night and the flare is a bit much at those times.
Did someone say Bacon
I also hope that STO developers can tone down the "brightness", for the eyes of those using HDR monitors.
Yours truly is using one, and this "brightness" hurts our eyes even during daytime indoor use!
We actually have to look *away* from the HDR monitor when we expect these "bright" explosions may occur.
Also, we cannot turn down our monitor brightness, because then the screen becomes too "dark" to play effectively.
~Beacon of Kahless
~Assault on Terok Nor TFO (those concussion grenades)
~Bug Hunt TFO (those frequently exploding rocks especially)
That's your right, but I agree with him.
I hate this stupid thing, I wish it just showed the 'white out' for the user and not for everyone else. I have never understood why they would put an item like this in the game, it's completely and totally annoying.
I hate it.
I usually carry the Delta and the Hur'q re-enforcements and alternate them. Those are my two personal favorites, I never use the Beacon because well.. as I said before.. I hate it.
