  • Right.. the way the R&D system works is the example I was using when suggesting to deploy that mechanism to other areas of the game, such as early completion of rep projects, or lowering daily event CDs. :p Anyway, to follow-up with what I and others have said in here, I like the idea of a universal dilithium voucher…
  • Omega was actually nerfed once before. Sometime pre-DR, it used to award the same 32k, 48k when a dilithium weekend was active (or maybe 56k, it's been a while).
  • TBF, they did try sinks, twice. Unfortunately both times were mediocre to horrible. Vanity shields for dil is mediocore. I like it, but it has a limited effect, since it's not consumable. Then, the endeavor/admiralty pass tokens. Those were a sink attempt. A god-awful, brain-dead attempt. Frankly, I think they should add…
  • So instead of actually adding stuff of value to purchase, you remove yet another source of dilithium. I'm a pretty casual player, and don't even play long enough to get 4k per day on one character. My entire account has probably less than 500k across 13 characters right now, and I haven't cashed in for Zen since the…
  • So, apparently the store description is wrong. Here's the response I got from my ticket: private correspondence redacted - rattler Good thing I didn't pay money for it.
  • "throw away pack" sadly, that's the perfect name. :( A better BoP would have helped a lot with this pack's value. But the lackluster BoP in combination with all the filler, just killed it for me. It'll be the second legendary "bundle" I'll be skipping. The first being the Discovery one, because I don't want that ship…
  • The difference is, what? Each event is typically 3 weeks, with a week gap, then another event. Repeat 4 more times, that's 5 months. Then again, I was equating event with grinding, so maybe that's the difference? The alternate reward is lobi, which is what I was referring to in my post as well. :) (PS. I'm not trying to…
  • That's like saying "Thanks for your efforts, here's free tickets to Cirque du Soleil in Vegas." Um ok, but that's useless to me if I don't want to go to Vegas. I have a Tzenkethi Shuk-din frigate sitting in my C-Store as a past giveaway reward. It's been there for years, and it'll sit there for years more. I'll probably…
  • Honestly, as a casual player, I don't see a difference between promo ships and "fleet" level ships. There's no perceived value to me why they're better. Non-fleet to fleet level I can see the difference, an extra console slot is a huge visual distinction. I'm not a "numbers" person (my engineering degree notwithstanding :D…
  • Thanks for asking, and don't take what I'm about to say in anger, or in an attacking way whatsoever. I'm just very opinionated on the matter... I already don't want, nor even try to get, promo ships. Promo ships are of literally zero interest to me. In 11 years of playing I have never gotten, and will never get, a…
  • Normally they have some indicator, such as "introductory pricing." There's no hint of any of that. Then again, it has far more value than the Romulan one. :#
  • Seems like it's 6k Z base price, which means it might be on sale as low as 3 or 4k. Definitely worth a grab to me, particularly at that price. I have the weapons, so boo there. However I don't own any Gal-X variant, so that'll be neat to try out. Also, Mirror Leeta's uniform I've been eying for years, but never could bring…
  • I wish they swapped the dual pistols for the agony rifle. Dual pistols were already an account unlock, but the agony rifle was per-character.
  • I had at least one in an account bank, one day I noticed an empty slot (my account slots are always completely full). So it didn't help me.
  • I just want the skin for my legendary one.
  • Sad to see this is still not fixed. I only opened one of those ship token packs myself. The remaining 4 auto-opened on my main, who didn't need them. Now they're wasted. Differences with the calendar: 1) The calendar was more accurate than Kael's blog posts. 2) The calendar wasn't something the players spent money directly…
  • Those paths are actually the source location on the build machine. IOW, it's a location on one of Cryptic's machines. Not useful for us, but useful for devs that need to troubleshoot the issue. You can tell because of the filename: crypticrpc.c(2462) That's a C source code file, and the line number where the function…
  • So the Legendary Constitution is chopped liver now?
  • I actually agree. I have my inventory width set at 8 (not too small, but better fits with the 12-slot expansion upgrades). I really want to set the minimum to at least 8. 10 is too large, particularly for smaller resolution screens. EDIT: Also, now the Overflow window overlaps with the inventory window. Also the reason I…
  • If you'll notice, I wasn't replying to you. I was replying to someone who didn't seem to know that information.
  • Bug fixes are on Thursdays. New feature content drops are always on Tuesdays. It’s been like that for 10 years. We just had a Tuesday drop on the 4th for Risa. This update will include the new carriers. However they won't be "live" until Thursday. Basically, it preps the game for the live push. Any last minute problems can…
  • What celebration window? I already purchased the bundle, so I no doubt didn't see it. What is that? I was very confused, until I read "console." :D They will never tell us when any sales happen until they do. Meaning, you will not get an answer. Your best bet is to do what others have done and keep track of sales in a…
  • Alphas seems more like it belongs under Romulan Mystery, since it introduces the player to the Romulans. With that placement, you do KDF, Romulan, Fek'ihri, then Romulan again. Also, I hope those two missions come back again at some point in the future. Their storyline actually parallels ST:Picard, and could even be a…
  • I already have Garak from the DS9 BOFF bundle, he's pretty nice actually. That said, the only Cardie ship I'm missing of significance is the Keldon. The rest I have from the Gamma pack. If the Keldon was account-wide, I'd get it in a heartbeat. EDIT: Just checked, "Plain and Simple" is indeed not a "new" title, I have it.…
  • The OP didn't link the original post, but in there, it says it is. https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11461853
  • I remember when that tab used to be account unlocks originally. Glad to see sanity has been restored. EDIT: For those that don't remember, Season 5 changed that tab to per-character unlocks. Funny enough, it's also the update that introduced the now since removed calendar:…
  • It's more like, FCD is a chill, quick event. Basically over a weekend. Stretching it out over 3 weeks is a bit much. I remember the days when we had more than one week in-between events. I don't have a lot of time to play, so it's either I play events, or do something else in-game. So I basically end up going into TFOs…
  • Another 3-week event, not even a week after the last 3-week event. Please, stop.
  • They don't do that anymore? I think I got one T5 ship when that was occurring, and another one during a giveaway. The latter one I found isn't eligible for the upgrade token if it was a free ship. Other than those, I haven't really gotten any T5 ships in years. If the free T6 tokens could be used for T5 ships, I'd get more.
