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…

Unfortunately, I'd have to agree with what some of the others have stated. Account unlocks for Lobi/lockbox ships are unlikely to happen. It would take a fair bit of effort (I'm not saying it would be difficult, just time consuming to do for all the lockbox/lobi ships currently available) to accomplish. And would be…
-
The most recent reward (The agony phaser torpedo) is an account unlock, as for past rewards it gets a bit fuzzy. I don't believe many of them are, the account unlock for Mirror event rewards is fairy new I believe.
-
The Cardassian ships don't need it, they're already cross-faction usable. Edit: As for the OP's suggestion, I would love being able to unlock lockbox ships across my account, even if it requires a bit more mastery grinding. But why limit it to loxkbox ships, how about Lobi and Promo ships as well?
-
Ok, I've played around with this for a little while and I'd like to offer up a few thoughts. @borticuscryptic @"crypticspartan#0627" Firstly, that [Crtd2] mod. While I haven't yet rolled into one, I'm quite concerned that a mod like that will make all other epic mods less attractive to use. And might even exacerbate the…

The Archon class T6 Intel Assault cruiser is a good choice for a new Vice Admiral. It's a solid cruiser capable of tanking and DPS, though lacks science capabilities. There's not any real gimmicky stuff for it (unless you invest in the other assault cruisers, which isn't all that useful in combat), so you don't have to…
-
I've voiced my opinion about this in the past when this topic came up before. I'd be game for lockbox/Lobi/gamblebox ships being given an account-unlock option. As it stands people who run many alts (for more than just resource grinding) are forced to make the difficult descision of which character to give the ship to.…
-
Um... Wow. I wouldn't object (too much) to paying for a Galaxy class interior, dispite owning the Galaxy bundle. But 2k Zen? That's a "heck no". Sorry, no sale.
-
Yeah, I thought the GPL rewards were kinda crazy. Still, replacing 80% of it with EC seems counter-intuitive, especially since the only way one can spend the absurd amount of credits one earns is on the exchange. Personally I'd like to see some kind of EC sink to offset these Admirality payouts...
-
Interesting, I'm cautiously optimistic about this. One ocncern though... Won't these new fleet weapons make Elite Fleet Phasers obsolete (moreso)? Or am I misreading the effects of the new weapons?
-
You got me with the Oddy, it is an exception to the whole cruiser/sci boat 'rule'. However, my point is still valid, generally ships have one or the other. Cruiser commands or sub targeting. Personally I think those pods would be better served as torpedo launchers or bussard collectors (though I can't imagine why Starfleet…
-
I like the concept, however there are a few details which would be problematic to implement... 1. Secondary deflector/sub targeting + cruiser commands? Is this a cruiser or a sci boat? (I can't think of any ship currently in STO that has both of these. Since the secondary deflector is a sci boat specific deal, and cruiser…
-
I've always wondered about the whole cloak vs. battle cloak deal. Personally I think that the basic cloak is rather useless (outside of an alpha strike PvP situation) so why even bother wasting a tray slot with it? Honestly I've always felt that 'battle cloaks' should be removed and regular cloaks should be able to be used…
-
Actually, as per the usual pattern regarding model updates, that isn't an unreasonable assumption. I'm not going to bother arguing your belief that T6 ships are 'cheap' as that is a matter of opinion. One which I do not share, by the way, I don't feel that $30.00/$60.00 USD for a virtual item within a game is such a great…
-
Well, darn. I guess this is what I get for getting my hopes up for a T6 C-store connie. :'( Well played, Cryptic/PWE. By doing this you almost guarantee that only the super-space-rich will be flying this Iconic wonder.
-
A soyuz? Really?!? Awesome, I've been suggesting this ship for years! Thanks for listening! :D And that revamp of the TMP connie model is downright hot! (Fingers crossed for a C-Store T6 connie!)
-
I own these ships and I don't regret purchasing them. The command BOFF abilities are lackluster, however. I don't bother with them. They are a couple of years old, so powercreep has rendered them less than favorable compared to newer ships. Still, they are durable flight deck cruisers and can manage to hold their own and…
-
You just skimmed the previous comments, didn't you? I already answered the OP's question about the account bank being 500: I was replying to this:
-
Actually, the character credit limit (for subscribers and those who purchase the unlock) is 1 billion.
-
It's always been that way. Confusing, right?
-
Probably right after making the Mirror Guardian Cruiser availabe again... Sorry bro, if you didn't buy the WizKids promotional ship you're very likely out of luck. :/
-
I must admit, since I stopped caring about this conversation (sometime last night I believe), I'm finding this discussion most amusing! Especially since 'decimation' is a temporary fix, eventually vendor items will reach 1 EC and then further 'adjustments' will only inflate the values of vendor items. The only real…
-
Yeah, looked at the rewards in-game... And I can't bring myself to slog through this event for it. Sorry Cryptic.
-
Un-friggin-believable... I'm not sure if you're just trying to be difficult or if you actually believe what you're stating. Semantics aside, neither 'decimation' nor increasing the credit cap (both of which would have the same overall effect) would address the issue of nothing to spend the credits on, outside of the…
-
It seems my point is either being ignored or misinterpreted. :/ No matter, since these conversations/discussions are academic, I see no point in trying to explain my views further. Enjoy your discussion. Good day.
-
You do have a point, however, since the credit cap would still be 1 billion, the 'space rich' would still be able to buy/sell at current prices. And since the 'space rich' would be impacted to a lesser extant than the 'space poor', the rich would get richer because they could afford to make expensive purchases for profit.…
-
This is my main concern here, it does absolutely nothing to remove the excessive wealth owned by the upper crust, but it does make it more difficult for the bottom 90% to achieve 'space rich' status. In theory it isn't a terrible idea, perhaps if it is done once in combination with additional EC sinks it could expedite…
-
I bought this little beauty yesterday, and I don't regret the purchase. She's a tough little ship that turns on a dime, favorable BOFF layout, and I was quite surprised (though I shouldn't have been) that it's a full 4/4 cruiser. That's a lot of weapons on such a small ship lol. The Reliant isn't terribly specialized for…
