  • Still not fixed as of the patch this morning.
  • I'll get my alt maxed then if that's what's going on but you're right that this needs to be changed. I can claim the DR starship traits, which are impossible to use at level 20, but not certain boxes that are just full of fleet marks and some ore and are actually usable at that level. How can someone sit down, code that,…
  • The DR is max level. As I mentioned, I went through on the Klingon DR and made sure that all the missions that could be completed were completed and it didn't fix anything.
  • Why wouldn't it become the norm? Cryptic now gets to cut down on development time for smaller releases like this, pump up the amount of ships and the price of the mega bundles, as well as making future lockbox, lobi, and R&D promo choice boxes more enticing as they won't be releasing as many C-store Rom ships, or really…
  • Belgium would disagree with you as they found that all real money lootboxes are gambling. You seem to be still using the Netherlands ruling which only targets games like CS:GO where you can "cash out." According to Belgium, STO does have gambling so the person you're telling off is actually correct. Also you can't really…
  • Other than what's in the blog? Marks and Dil, more Marks and Dil, did I mention Marks and Dil because there's more Marks and Dil. If you don't like those there's Marks and Dil. Really disappointed with this "event". It seems like this was a last minute "oh we forgot the make rewards for the recruit event" type of scenario.…
  • So I take it by the fact that there's been time to post a key sale promo and the First Contact Day announcement blog, but no time to drop in here and post a "I've passed on your feedback and the devs are reviewing it" placation post that nothing is going to happen and these will release as mediocre and half done as they…
  • So the upgrades to the original Temporal ships don't get a Commander Temporal seat and the Molecular Reconstruction abilities? The Husnock Warship has one and that's ok but these can't have them? This is wrong in so many ways, especially after it took this long to get the T6 versions. I really hope the "this is subject to…
  • While I understand the intent of the post, let me clarify what I meant. Making one from scratch is one thing, not actually using the assets they have already made is entirely another. Once an asset is made it is almost never retroactively used to upgrade something in game. We have full Tal Shiar, Iconian, Elachi, Universe,…
  • It's as false as the people selling an item for $6,000,000 and then wondering why they make almost no sales. If you price something ridiculously then you aren't going to make sales. They price bridge packs ridiculously and then use that as a reason why they can't make any more. It's a self fulfilling prophecy and one they…
  • The Ship of the Dead is shown in the show to be the first Klingon ship with cloaking tech that the rest are then equipped with following research of it. It doesn't state if the cloak is from the Rom's or not, just that it has it. So no, STO isn't tossing canon out the window. They're just following what was shown on screen…
  • Not everyone has enough refined Dil. Newer players and those that don't play as often don't. Also did you miss the first day when they gave away 4 uniforms? It seems like you're not fully informed and don't feel like these are good for you rather than are these good for the majority of the game.
  • If we knew the contents, but not necessarily the order so we'd have to get all of them to make sure we got what we wanted, I might be convinced to get some of these. Not even knowing the basic contents, something even Lockboxes tell you up front in blog posts, is just a no-go for me. I'm not spending that much without even…
  • Refined Dil is Refined Dil. Who cares what the cost is, now you have more to use for whatever. I swear Cryptic could give away 1000 Zen and people would complain because "they can't buy what they really want with that." Just be happy it's not unrefined and it's lumped onto that massive pile most people who would complain…
  • And that doesn't strike anyone else as a problem? The fact that people just accept that instead of trying to get the devs to release more things that would make them more money overall boggles my mind. So what if two ships have the same BOFF layout? Is the game going to stop working because of that? No. Would it give…
  • I don't count that one because it was not like any other "promo" ship. The others you can either still purchase for EC on the exchange like the DOFF or R&D promos, or they're like the Sovereign promo where you can still get a T6 version just the specific seating is different for the promo version. If they released a non…
  • The Ferengi D'Kora Marauder, the Voth Bastion Flight-Deck Cruiser, the Tholian Orb Weaver, and (the ones I really want) the Temporal Science vessel's for all 3 factions. There's also the respective Lobi ships that would also gain a T6 version. That's at least 8 more Infinity Box updates. Not to mention the fact that any…
  • So are T5 to T6 upgrades no longer going to be happening? This is the second Infinity run that hasn't had one and was one of the few things I actually looked forward to.
  • Any chance we could get a couple of the other "limited time only" uniforms that didn't get a second run now that this came back as well? Like the Kelvin Admiral uniform and the Kobali one?
  • They really just need to go back and give the Romulan Rep, along with the other two, Warp and Singularity cores. That would fix the issue with the Reps and give you what you want. I wouldn't say no to another 4 piece set but I'd rather they improve what they already have in game and should have improved years ago before…
  • It's the part of the blog that says, "and will passively leech Hull from enemy ships within a short distance of themselves, causing a small amount of Radiation Damage and healing themselves." Kinda figured this ship would be a thing when I saw it in the Brushfire mission. It's...interesting? Kinda all over the place in…
  • I'll make the same complaint I make anytime anyone brings up WoW's engine. Using a heavily modified version of the Warcraft 3 engine doesn't mean it's ok, especially when it's showing it's age and the limitations those devs constantly complain about. (Can't do anything to the default bag as everything about a character is…
  • They release a new lockbox every 3ish months. After they introduced it the Infinity lockbox is now also released usually the week prior to a new lockbox with the last lockbox's items added to it along with any T6 updates to older T5 lockbox ships, ala the Xindi ships. The only out of the ordinary release was the R&D promo…
  • I'm not assuming anything, it's literally the first line of the boxes themselves. "Open this package for the chance to win exclusive items no longer accessible anywhere else in the game!" If they've been added to that box that means they will no longer be available anywhere else. Console players should have had the…
  • I don't think you understand what exactly is happening. This isn't an issue of them having already got the items, this is a situation where they HAVEN'T had access to them yet and WON'T be able to without gambling. The console players wouldn't have had the option to have done these because they are being added to the box…
  • Is this a mistake or are console players going to effectively lose access to these two ships without gambling with immense amount of Dil? I'm not even a console player and I feel ripped off for them if that's the case.
  • T6 is the "end game" ship now, not T5 or T5-U. There's a reason that all lockboxs that are introduced to Console had the old T5-U's turned into T6's. It's wonderful that you want more T5's but outside of the rare apparent mistake that was the Sphere Builder lockbox there's no reason to release a T5 that's missing a trait,…
  • Having the Intel suit of powers more than makes up for the lack of SST and having that is probably why SST is "missing." In fact it's better in every way because the Intel click skills are at least useful where I can't remember the last time I actually used a SST ability on any ship that had it built in as standard. Your…
  • I'm not sure how it's possible to fail before round 3. My last run had someone who just sat there AFK the entire time and someone targeting one ship at a time and we STILL got to round 4. I wasn't even on a properly geared character, my phaser user is still rocking MK 12 gear on a few ships, and still did my fair share of…
