    Its a reskinned Bat'leth and a Lirpa (ala Amok Time, though with a neater skin). Available to both factions. Green, scale with level.

    Whoa no fair! Can this Batleth be acquired in game any other way?

    EDIT: Oh, I guess if they just both special looking blades they are ok for the C-store... :(

    How much BTW?

    From the looks of it at VA they are slightly better than the mk x purples, but a bit less powerful than the mk xi purples, though well worth it considering that the mk xi purples require 3 antithoron traces to make (at least the lirpa does, haven't looked at the bat'leth yet)

    Also pics?

    Hopefully they add these as some kind of craftable, like as the best of the craftable bat'leth/lirpa chain. Also, I wouldn't call it unfair, 1 for Feds and 1 for Klingons.

    you can craft lirpa and bat'leth in game, though without the fancy reskin, you can even craft (as mentioned above) more powerful weapons than these two

    They are not even rare but uncommon, and I like the classical designs slightly better.:D

    I was going under the assumption the Lirpa was the normal Lirpa and The bat'leth was a special bat'leth. So I thought the Feds get thier c-store weapon in game and Klingons don't. But I was ninja'd by pics, so I understand now.

    The Store page was a bit confusing - listing the Lirpa and Bat'leth separately at 240 points each.

    I presume you get both when you buy the pack in the store?

    They look nice. Would be nicer if they came with trophies so you could hang them up in your ship.

    you get both. there was only one pack to buy in the c-store.

    interesting suggestion. I'll pass that along in case there's a chance we can do that.

    Hmm it costs 240 points, I have 230...lame! :p thats how they get you, now I cant buy anything unless I throw down more money and im only 10 points off.

    And a trophy feature for these weapons would be nice.

    I would almost buy them for the Trophies alone if they came with them. DEFIANTLY buy them with Weapons and trophies.

    Ok they are fancy LOOKING weapons. We have the playable and normal version of those weapons in the game to be acquired by normal means.

    Flashy visual flair and alike belongs in the C-store, if anything at all...

    A Trophy is worth nothing if it isn't earned.

    If it is bought... it's nothing but ...decoration.

    My klingon sword collection

    I'm sure someone here has more at home. I'm not totally happy with the shape of my Mek'leth either.

    We need the Mek'leth in game, btdubs.

    I bought these & now i really feel cheated. They are only uncommon green weapons. Everything in the C-store was Blue rare or Purple Very rare items. Why should someone spend real money for something less then what you can craft ingame? It should be a blue or purple to match what is in game.

    I'm not asking for better then the ingame craftable, just equal. Or at least cryptic should make sure as label it as a uncommon green so that there customers are more informed. Just because Ferengi's are in game doesn't mean cryptic should run the C-Store like them.

    EDIT: It does say they are uncommon weapons. I apologize. I guess I'm down graded from feeling cheated to just disapointed.

    it is labelled as uncommon, at least on the website it is. i can understand who people might have glanced over the wording but it is there.

    it also has several advantages. one it scales. no other hand weapon does and it looks awesome. thats kind of the point, not to buy some great weapon that others have spent time and effort crafting but to get something cool.

    Where is the Fencing sword that Sulu had when he was running around shirtless on the TOS Enterprise?

    Heck, I;d be down for the extending sword from JJ Trek.

    While it's certainly true that we're selling weapons on the c-store, this doesn't bring us any closer to becoming f2p.

    These special melee weapons will level up with you, and look fancy, however, in order to get the best weapons in the game, you still need to earn them in game, and there are several ways to do so without having to spend any real life money.

    Thanks,

    Considering there's rumored to be both crafting and use of the weapons this week in the episode, not on my purchase list. :D

    I have the time and anomalies.
