Thanks Devs

For a VERY nice 30% discount to the Lobi store over this weekend.... B)

So what ship are you going for to take advantage of this great discount???

I have been working towards the awesome Kelvin Timeline Intel Dreadnought Cruiser

But with the Legend packs coming.... Hmmm what to choose? :D

    I already have all the lobi ships I want, but i might grab the borg outfit for one of two characters.

    Fyi though, if you're getting the Legendary Bundle the Vengeance (Kelvin Intel Dreadnought) has a console that's part of a set that includes the JJPrise console. Idk how good the set actually is though.

    The Kelvin Dread (Vengeance) has been and still is my hands down favorite Lobi Ship.

    I'm still surprised that this ship was added as a Lobi ship.. glad Cryptic thought the Kelvin Connie was more 'desirable.'

    I have another character that flies the Tzenkethi Rhas'bej and it's a great ship. She recently upgraded to the Discovery D7 but the Rhas'bej is a great ship and usually available for cheap on the exchange. It's a big ship that flies like an escort.. that 70 inertia rating is very fun.

    Those are my two favorites from Lobi currently.

    Definitely don't have enough for a ship this time. I got a Maquis Raider last time, and its quite a good little ship if you like escort type ships. The console is also fantastic for an exotic damage build, but not so good for seeing whatever is going on in the fight.

    Probably the nx refit equipment for the console to go with dprm.

    I've replaced the Kelvin Photon Torpedoes with the Altimid Kelvin Photon. I use the whole set for my Discovery Constitution Plasma Build.

    Is the altmid torpedo plasma as in the high yield is destructible?

    none - i use lobi to buy things i can't buy off the exchange, which does NOT include ships​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    I knew after the Lobi giveaways they’d let people spend it, then have a sale later. Glad I waited. I’d rather pay for ships with EC though. I’ll probably get the Borg armor.

    I picked up the Borg Armor and the BATD. I really wish they'd update the older Space Sets to Very Rare at least instead of Rare, like they did with the Ground Equipment a few years ago.

    Nice!

    Exactly one week after I opened my lock boxes for lobi and drew the borg jugger by accident the awaited sale to get my plasma set is already happening. That’s 1st class service Cryptic, thank you. o:)

    Unless you really want a specific ship from the lobi store (which does not seem to be the case) and nothing else at all my advice to you OP is to use your lobi for store exclusive stuff (consoles & weapons) and not for those items you can get cheaper on the exchange via EC.

    The Intel Dreadnought is certainly a nice ship (I flew it for 1-2 years or so) but with so much competition from more and more miracle worker crafts I would not buy it anymore. If your in game dream however is to fly admiral Robocop’s ship then of course forget what I wrote and go for it. :)

    Even as much as I love the Vengeance, I never bought one with Lobi. They're so cheap on the exchange that it seemed like a waste. I did what @peterconnorfirst said.. I used the lobi on things you can't get on the exchange, mostly ground weapons and a few ship consoles.

    My two favorite Lobi ships can usually be had for around 200M on the exchange.. honestly, that's peanuts.

    Thanks @peterconnorfirst and @seaofsorrows

    This is great advice and i see the better value of looking in to consoles and weapons

    Great weekend to pick up some exclusives

    The vengeance is extremely cheap and so is it's counter parts. ITs actually a really good ship if you can get it. Prolly my second favorite cruiser plus ship I fly after the flight deck cruiser.

    I use the two part console set from the alternate timline set. The broadside emitter arrays and the proton charge launcher. Two very good click skills but i mainly use it for the two set bonus of 25% phaser and 25% photon.
    Even god rested. No work ethic.

    If you see a Vengeance or Scimitar in an area in the Badlands and especially the final counter-attack you will probably not get above a Tier II Reward at the end. :)
