unfortunately OP, video gaming is becoming an activity that depends on income and not for the love of games.​​

oh make no mistake, they have 0 intention of fixing the Dilex. They are making more money now, why would they go back. the Dilex will eventually become a FCT topic and we'll get banned for bringing it up. its sad that Cryptic as a business has not learned that happy players, are higher spending players. which is baffling…

Granted that whoever decides to run the private server has the equipment necessary to allow everyone to access it. and not lock it behind and absurd paywall​​

was that the Biodome one? Because i still want that more than any other ship in game.​​

you're all forgetting the bottom line. STO has entered the stage in its mmo lifespan where its nothing more than a cash farm. If the devs really disagreed with it, then they would do something. they would strike or whistleblow. but the don't. so the devs are complicit. this is just the state of the game now. its all about…

better question is why are we just casually engaging in the genocide of the snowmen? and people complained about L'Rell​​

uhh no. the problem is not people's budgets. Its companies using FOMO in order to price gouge digital assets for which there is no limit or scarcity. its predatory, and the devs are willing participants.​​

it sure will, but you won't know when its coming. so have at least $300 handy at all times​​

i agree. its almost like if they gave people advanced notice, they would be able to plan and budget and be more willing to spend money. but again, we need to realize that bundles and flash sales that only last 2 days, are aimed solely at whales. and if you're lucky enough these days as a normy, to just have $300 lying…

Why not demand better working conditions? Are you getting paid for every different hat you're wearing? If you're doing 16 different jobs, then your salary should reflect that. Or you know, you could bring up to your bosses that 1 person working 16 roles is absolutely ridiculous, and frankly unfair worker treatment. And…

I think we all just need to accept that STO is no longer about making and maintaining a great Star Trek game anymore. its about money. its about making as much as they can, and squeezing from whales as long as possible until they decide to shut down the server. that's all it is now.​​

all i know if that io would like to finally get the 10th bundle, i have missed it every time its been out.​​

its how you know the game is at end-of-life. The focus now is squarely on squeezing as much money out of the players as possible before they shut the game down. this is pretty much how all mmo's go out. We just have to wait for the "We're sorry to announce..." blog post.​​

its almost as if they have been trying to push dil out of the game in order to instead push people towards buying zen with real money again.​​

i wish they would wait until after the holidays to put the bundle back out. you know, when everyone has their gift cards and Christmas money.​​

i don't like that they removed old bundles to introduce this one. what is so wrong with giving players choice? like the bundle that offered the kelvin ships had no reason to go away. Using FOMO to manipulate consumers should be outlawed. if you can't sell your product based on its quality, merit or fair practices, then you…

My idea is to offer new ships as "Major Projects". Sort of like Fleet Projects, only instead of a bunch of people building fleet stuff, it would be a solo project, you "building" a T6 ship. And then when its done, you get the ship and you can start another if its available. now when its complete, you will have spent…

i love it and i want it in my life. i would fly the f**k out of this.​​

i would LOVE new vulcan ships, but they are most likely going to end up in boxes. which is just...bad.​​

now the wait for T6 Star Cruiser and more vulcan ships officially begins.​​

given cryptic's pattern of behavior, i would say its pretty much a certainty that the Obena will end up in the lock/promo box.​​

that is exactly what it seems like.​​

what's this...another disco hate thread? ​​

its hard to be excited about this, since we know probably 90% of these new ships will be box/promo ships. its all about the cash baby. nothing else.​​

I miss Som, but I am still thankful he is doing these summaries somewhere. I had a moment of excitement when they said that not all 32c ships will be lockbox, then I remembered that promo boxes are still a thing. i hope some of these many ships coming out are going to be C-store ships. Like the new ships seen in the season…

do it, go after them. maybe someone can look into their gambling practices too. i'd be really interested to know if Cryptic has a gambling license.​​

i am so TRIBBLE happy for you right now!!!​​
