Details up for the first of the years events to earn those freebie Tier 6 ships, Lockbox ships or Lobi and I am a little confused if they mean what they infer. https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11484513?fbclid=IwAR0PPmF5JBIMsdaWSH1FU2Qr18X942OLe5509mGtlGJtnC-PRlIT6DMICXs
As it says per character does this mean all of our characters can each claim a different lockbox ship?
Option 1:
Any Infinity Promo or Infinity Lock Box T6 Ship
This ship will be a per character unlock.

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

Yup, which means I'll be taking the 2 free T6 coupons when the time comes.
As an altaholic, single character unlocks hold zero interest for me. So the free Promo/lockbox ship is not even a consideration. And the Lobi, meh. Sitting on a few thousand now thanks to all the giveaways of keys/R&D packs over the years. I probably should just buy what I can and then sell it on the Exchange. Get some EC out of it at least. But, I keep holding onto the Lobi in the hope they'll come up with a way to let these types of things become account unlocks. An upgrade token perhaps? Yeah, not likely to ever happen.
Definitely not interested in the "Hot Knife of Doom" prize for the single event, just like I skipped out on the "Flaming Pig" when it was an event prize last year. But getting the T6 coupons is my end goal so I suppose I'll wind up with it anyway.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
On the other hand we have the issue of when we didn't have events all the time of extended periods of nothing going on, and thus... calls for more content because of "nothing to do".
For this marathon event: Not a fan of having 5 long grinds, but given the purposed payoff I suppose it's understandable. I wonder if Cryptic will remember to include any of their bonus event mark weekends during the marathon? I almost feel "Option 3" should be (3) ship coupons given for parity to the other 2 options. I'm guessing Option 1 will be by far the fans favorite. Not sure Option 2's 1500 lobi value, seems very subjective & lacking without a -50% lobi sale lol.
Time to scour the Infinity T6 ship & the R&D Promo Pack ship lists to gets those dreams hyped. No exceptions, so far, by Cryptic on the ships so if that remains kudos to them.
Anyone else hearing Scorpion's, "Get over here," when watching that Molor's Sword?
I already know what I want. The Mirror Warship. If that wasn't available I'd probably gun for the Inquiry or the Romulan Balance Bird.
I was thinking the exact same thing, with all the fire and the chain pull this sword basically lets you roleplay as Scorpion.
My partner is aiming for the Mirror Warship too, while I have my eye on the S31 Command Heavy Battlecruiser.
Of course down the long proverbial road this will be a good difficult decision to be had & made.
I doubt it, they've been broken for months.
The Breach is fun indeed. Too bad we won't get a Voth-related reward. It's one of the reasons why I enjoyed the previous Voth events.

Well, I don't think it will be as a popular option as 1 & 2 but that Option 3 does reward (2) T6 Ship Coupons so therefore that would unlock 2 T6 ships for the whole account.
Also because I'm tired of all these events and Cryptic's ridiculous obsession with dictating when and how often we need to log on.
At least let us complete events when WE want, if you're going to bombard us with them. Some players might not want to log on for a week and then make up for it by playing a couple of times on a rainy afternoon when they've got nothing better to do. Why not give players that bit of freedom?

You can skip one event entirely and still have 14 spare days.
You can skip one week in each event. That spaces out the events more since you could do the first two weeks of one event then the last two weeks of another.
I understand event fatigue, but unless you volunteer for grinding extra dil by playing extra days the gap between events is reasonable.
This is what I do. Just enough to get the shiny and event progression and then I sit back and wait for the next one. And I do this over five different accounts. I think Breach will be short enough to not take too much time.
70 out of 105 days, optimistically 3 hours PER DAY to do 6-7 alts sure, if you are single/no job/no kids
Hence the reason they added the "buyout" option. They know they can actually profit from having so many events that many people find it hard to keep up and are faced with the choice of losing out or paying to get the prize. "Event fatigue" is by design.

Valid point, Cryptic does enjoy their fear-of-missing-out (FOMO).
That is your opinion, and that's fine. Many disagree.
But it is required to get the rewards. So if someone wants to get those rewards, but is having a hard time keeping up for whatever RL reasons, they will need to spend money to catch up. It makes great business sense.

Nope, it's your opinion. And just to be clear, it's a completely valid opinion. But it's not any more valid than the opinion of those who disagree.
Also, FYI, @baddmoonrizin recently said that you are not allowed to claim that your opinion is fact. So you are going to have to stop that.

Sorry, I meant @darkbladejk
Hey Dark? Please see previous posts with personal insults and 'my opinion = fact' wording.

Yep, that's true. Disagreeing with 2+2 = 4 isn't an opinion, it's just wrong. But disagreeing on what the all encompassing motivation is behind a system design is completely opinion.
If some people think the events are designed to cause fatigue and make people spend to keep up, that's an opinion. It may be right or wrong, but it's just an opinion.
If you say that's completely wrong and the events are only designed to give people something to do, that's also an opinion. It may be right or wrong, but it's just an opinion.
But according to @darkbladejk neither side of that convo can claim their opinion is a "fact" like you did in your previous post I quoted.

A: to keep up daily login metrics.
B: to give people something to do.
C: an additional way to monetize the game for people who either don't want to spend the time, or are having trouble keeping up.
Of course, that view is also just an opinion.
