I was going to mention that. Strange New Worlds is now my favorite, by far, Star Trek since TOS. It feels like they were taking TOS and using all of today's technology and cinematic abilities and making the best of it. Discovery never pulled me in, though the second season with Pike, Spock and Section 31 was worth the…
You already have some good replies, the game takes time to learn, there are countless varieties of ways to build a ship. I have a Science Jem'Hadar character I created with the Jem'Hadar Carrier fighters, pets, escorts, etc that I could literally sit in most instances and let all my "aid" ships called in do all the…
Agreed, I like the Space Barbie idea, or a new conversion of say 10,000 RD for a Lobi Crystal, yes that is expensive, but it would give new value for that RD... might increase the demand a bit.
Sorry about that, not a big forum participant, this issue just caught my attention after returning from a rather long absence, I believe I have caught up to the facts as they pertain to this matter and better understand the reasons behind it. I appreciate your patience.
This I can understand and certainly is a good counter to my viewpoint. I appreciate that there is a limited amount of need for Dil in the game, and that veteran players can probably produce a large amount of it over a number of characters that they have on their account. While there are Fleet projects and personal items…
Exactly, so the value of the Dil has gone down. That means instead of being artificially capped at 500, it needs to find a new exchange rate equitable to that inflation (or deflation of Dil value). There was a time when the conversion rate would move up and down from the low 200s to the mid 300s. Today it would probably…
It seems even what I would have considered a "best case" counter to my argument on the essential need of an inclusive to FTPers economy helps to prove my point. ;P What you detail is very damaging I am sure, but the foundation for the game's demise began with the severity with which they treated FTPers, excluding them from…
I have no interest in insulting anyone, we should be able to debate an issue, I know that is a skill being lost in today's society, however that was what I was attempting to do, stating my reasons for my position. I was looking for a detailed counter to my position, to better understand your reasons. I strongly feel a…
I disagree, my perspective is based on 20 years of MMO play. I have seen other games die that did not have to, because of similar outlook, they tried to make it harder for FTP players to interact in the economy without actually paying money, this drastically reduced the population of players, over time. The other factor…
Thank you, not a heavy poster, it may have been user error that caused the disappearance of the initial reply. I do believe that the Dil to Zen issue is a more serious issue than those who make the decisions on such things are crediting it with. This is one of those matters that can heavily impact the survivability of the…
Well, that was discouraging, spent a ten minutes typing a reply, then clicked the edit to change one letter, and poof the whole post disappeared when I hit save. Oh well. In short then, in order for the economy of STO to work properly inflation must be allowed for. Items in the C-Store have gone up, you can now find items…
With all this being true, in order for the any economic system to work properly, inflation must be allowed for. I remember years back when the conversion rate was in the high 200s and was considered expensive if it reached the 300s, if my memory serves correctly. So as the cost of C-store packs and items goes up, the cost…
It appears to come and go based on assignment type and/or character fleet rank, I have seen it on several different characters I have, while not noticing it at all on more recent characters. I am glad I read this thread, the risk of donating rare DOFFs is real enough, if you aren't aware of the changes.
Just wanted to say, the new content and changes for Discovery sound great, and I'm looking forward to it. And I really love the concept of running parallel with a current series, hope it brings in new players and makes STO better than ever. Thanks to all the Devs for their efforts keeping this game great throughout the…
TRIBBLE - Always good to have more content. You would hope that the Devs realize that new races are just as wanted by some players as new ships and new storylines, when fans see a Cyborg in a ST series shown prominently, like with the Jem'Hadar many want to play them. Also, many players would like to see them take a moment…
*sigh* Cost me a few million EC not knowing about that change when the servers came back up yesterday, the Discovery Lock Boxes I bought thinking they were cheap, compared to what they had been, but are now effectively worth a tenth of what I paid for them. Its these types of changes that make me take a month long (or 2 or…
So long as the game is working as well as it was before this maintenance, its all good. I remember the days when 'maintenance' could mean a month of getting dumped from the server every time you zoned, until they went and did more 'maintenance' and corrected the issues. Have they fixed the DS-9 graphics? When they came out…
Had plenty of those last week. Most of my disconnects the past few days have come from running Mirror Invasion, either into the event or coming out of it. Like I said... there are times when I go an entire day or three without a disconnect, and others when it happens all too frequently... its an STO thing and has been all…
Crashes come and go in STO... sometimes they are almost every time you zone, sometimes its because one character hits a bug and you can't log it back in that zone. STO has always had these problems... the funny thing is those that try to deny these issues exist, maybe they are the lucky few, but for most of us, crashes and…
A great entry to draw people back into some pvp and teamwork... I used to like the old ques from years ago, where we competed against one another to defeat the Borg. Wouldn't mind something like that being brought back in, but I know the one-sided advantage the Feds enjoy prohibits it.
Good stuff... let me put it this way, it flowed well, compared to some of the Delta missions that just dragged, so far the efforts from years 12 and 13 are entertaining, and not a grind.
If I remember correctly, time playing, whether sub or not, was supposed accumulate, and when you have reached a certain amount, you earn the Captian's Shuttle. As a Sub, I think you are automatically approved for it. Not something I often think of, except when we have an event like the other night when I cannot log on, and…
I'm far from an expert, so this is just a guess... but I noticed that when I repeat a mission/que the marks go down into the 10s or 20s... I suspect this occurs when done within a certain timeframe (20 hours?)... so when I respond multiple times to the Red Alert for the Borg or Tholians, for instance, I often only get…
Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for all the hard work STOers for coming up with these storylines and new content, really makes for a great game, New Dawn continues the excellence.
