I hear you bud. Personally, I would like a solution sooner rather than later too. However, development time is alloted based on what is most profitable for the company, meaning the developers aren't likely to expend significant recurring dev-time to keep the economy in check. Also, as mentioned in several dev streams,…

How interesting. I thought that post was lost to the void long ago. No matter, my opinions haven't changed. Fleet development should continue, but I don't believe making the fleet system look like our current Reputation system is an ideal solution. Regardless of what my opinions are. I doubt we will see any solution being…

<Devil's Advocate> I'm just gonna play "Devil's Advocate" here for a moment, I think the reason the Devs stopped making fleet holdings is actually twofold. 1. the reason Nagus stated, manpower, it takes a lot of dev hours to create a new holding. And for little direct profit (compared to dev time invested) on the company's…

Totally agree. Though, the wording of the blog implies additional sales as days progress... Cautiously optimistic. (But not holding my breath.) Edit: Awkward, apparently this post got hung up somewhere. (I did not intentionally necro this thread, apologies.)

I should reiterate my opinion about 'rarity' here before the torches get lit. I don't mind the Mirror Guardian being available again, but dropping it in the C-Store as a stand-alone 3k ship does diminish it's uniqueness. I do not oppose this decision, I am just mildly disappointed, given that it was basically a quick…

Not goonna lie, as an owner of the charity version I am mildly disappointed that the Mirror Guardian will be so easily available. Kinda diminishes the 'rarity' of the original. Might have been a good candidate for Mudd's market, but oh well. More importantly, the re-release/remodel (which looks amazing, by the way) would…

I can honestly say I am not impressed with this bundle. The Legendary Ambassador strikes the same chord as the Ross class in my opinion, (not really different, just a minor linear upgrade) most disappointing. Honestly I'd rather just drop a fleet module and grab a T6 Fleet Support cruiser, it'd be MUCH cheaper and wouldn't…
-
I am rather curious to know if the Kamarag options are unique to the Legengary ship or if they are going to be unlocked for any Vor'cha variant (without the need to purchase this overpriced bundle)... Though, I'm not gonna hold my breath. The Excelsior looks to be actually decent. I am scratching my head as to why the…
-
This pretty much sums up my reaction to that news. Well done Cryptic.
-
I haven't read anything confirming or denying the existence of Advanced Phasers in this bundle. An official statement of some kind would be appreciated. Also, I would appreciate some confirmation as to whether or not this bundle is a traditional account unlock like all current C-Store ships. (I am aware that all current…
-
This bundle is certainly enticing, mostly upgrades for pre-existing designs. I am generally not a fan of buying the same product more than once, but I will definitely consider this bundle, though the price does give me pause. After looking at the specs for the last two I am actually somewhat disappointed, the Donnie…

After playing around with this for a bit, I can honestly say I am rather impressed. This is very nearly idiot-proof in its implementation, very cool. It would be better if there were no ships that didn't work with it, but thankfully that list is rather short. Overall a welcome QoL improvement. Much appreciated, Cryptic.…
-
This is impressive news. I'm pleasantly surprised. I, of course, will hold my final opinion until I see it live. If this works as advertised, I'll be quite happy. Thanks Cryptic, excellent QoL addition!
-
These promotions are a great way to get some good deals on C-Store bling, not to mention contributing to a good cause. I donated to the first Groupees promotion and just finished contributing to this one too. Overall, very satisfied. Got some nifty goodies and donated to a good cause. Nicely done Cryptic/Groupees!
-
Those hangar pet fixes are a welcome change, a long time coming though, I believe it's been over a year since I wrote up a rather detailed report on which pets were affected.. Hope the fix holds, and thanks Cryptic developers for finally fixing them!
-
As much as I'd like to dispute this, I cannot. I have seen no evidence showing that the developers guys in charge would even be interested in catering to anyone other than the uber-spenders. That's a shame as there are many more 'average joes' than 'shamus'...
-
I've always supported the idea of Lobi/lockbox/gamble-box ships going account-wide, so this isn't a surprise that the question would arise once again when T6 ships are converted to scaling ships... That said, I do wonder what the point of making the aforementioned 'premium' ships scaling? Let's face it, the odds that a new…
-
Even lower tier C-Store ships don't have weapon setups like this. Though, if it is Cryptic's intent to render current lower tier ships obsolete, then releasing ships like this would accomplish that nicely.
-
I find the concept of a scaling starship interesting. Properly implemented it could be quite useful for people who don't like swapping out starships every few levels. However, I've been noticing that the scaling values appear a bit off. For instance the new battle cruiser, 3 fore weapons and 2 aft at level 1?!? That would…
-
Might as well add my 0.02ec to the pot. Though there is little I can say that wouldn't just be an echo of previous posts. Yes, I feel this bundle is overpriced for what it contains. Yes, I agree that the BOFFS/pet should be account unlocks. And, yes, I also am disappointed that the nicest looking ship in this bundle (which…
-
To clarify, I never said I wasn't capable of handling a fragile ship. Heck I used to PvP in a Vesta before Delta Rising, once you lose shields in that you were screwed lol. So a thin hull isn't a real issue for me to handle. I simply stated it isn't very fun dealing with it. Using the chains console is problematic, I'm…
-
I'd have to agree with most of this, I do find the interior most disappointing. Especially when compared with the exceptional detail on the exterior model. I am also disappointed with the fragility of the craft, makes it rather difficult to make a truly 'fun' build. Additionally, using the chains of fire is almost a…
-
Same here, I no longer have the ability to reclaim this as well. First the TNG shuttle, now this. What's up with these promo C-Store items disappearing?
-
That's awesome! Thanks for the heads-up!
-
This would be the most helpful comment I've seen here. Any who, as for the OP's concerns, I can see how the skill, reputation, spec systems would be intimidating for the novice player. But like gear that the helpful chap I've quoted comments about, you don't need any of that until you hit endgame. You don't really need to…
-
I'm not a fan of 'character only' progression in most cases. Which is why I'm a fan of option B. I am aware of the argument that there will be little need to level a starship on alts once a main has unlocked the trait. I can't really see a negative to this, as a player would still need to purchase the ship initially and…
-
Confirmed, checked multiple Starfleet, 23c Starfleet, Fed-Roms. Not available for reclaim on any of them. Still have the Admirality card for it though. Edit: Also checked my Fed-Jem, also unavailable.
-
I said it before, and I'll say it again. I believe Cryptic overdid it a bit here, even locking out cross-faction outfits like the Intel Uniforms (which cleary states in its C-Store description that it is available to all captains). I can understand locking out traditional Faction-specific uniforms, but the cross-faction…
-
Ok, not gonna touch the 'entitlement' argument that's brewing here... However, I do think Cryptic may have overdone it a bit here, I looked at my Jem's tailor options and I'm officially disappointed. Even cross-faction uniforms like the Intel one isn't available. Which is a real shame as that is one of my favorites that…
-
This is probably gonna be a dumb question, however... @"ambassadorkael#6946" Assuming I don't have the Zen/funds to purchase a Gamma pack right now, will purchasing the Jem'Hadar Vanguard race lock me out of purchasing the Gamma pack later? Edit: Just read in-game in the description for the starter pack (which includes the…
