I have to agree with you, but at the same time I understand why they did it and even though it was pretty low down, I won't hold it against them, business wise. Their main goal is to make as much money as they can. If tricking or TRIBBLE people over to get their money brings them more money, and people buy into it, then…

No, I wouldn't say I'm quite wealthy. A cancer specialist or brain surgeon would most likely be "quite wealthy." If I had to put myself in a "class," I'd have to go with upper-middle. I do have quite a bit to spend on the game and I admit that the amount I've spent is foolish in some ways. But overall, I am quite happy…

Maybe Cryptic does, maybe it doesn't. If I knew I couldn't tell you anyways. What I can tell you is that there are people that are connected with the company and that since a few have been laid off, they gave some very, very nice gifts to people they knew. I can also tell you that a few fleets are friends with some of the…

$200 dollars is not a lot for one ship. Especially if it is a promo ship like the Sheshar Intel/Ops or the Annorax Dreadnought. $200 dollars can get you a lot of nice epic custom crafted gear and if you're upgrading anything, it can definitely help you when it comes to having a supply of tech upgrades and dil. You can get…

When a new box comes out with something really good, I often buy at least 100,000 zen the first week to buy keys and ships for resell later. I've battled customer service for years now to add a $500 or $1000 purchase amount to Zen store. When they actually come around to upping the amount, they only double what you could…

You are probably already aware that ships like the Annorax, Sheshar, and Jem'Hadar Bug Ship, are being sold every day by the handful out of game. That is how some people can afford to buy so much zen. They invest in game and get digital and real money at the same time. Some people don't want credits or to trade. They want…
-
Yeah I hate to be mean, but some people just expect everything on a silver platter. Yes, if they spend money on zen then they should get what is advertised. But don't expect too many handouts. I remember pre-launch there people on the old forums saying STo wouldn't last a year. They've said that for over 5 years, going on…

I promise myself not to break this rule, but i can't help it when I read threads of how people whine cry after opening boxes and getting nothing. People like me rely on them to make the credits in order to afford 650,000,000 creds easily, no sweat. I've always tried very hard to control the price of master keys by buying…

Can a Moderator please close this thread, and any others that pertain to the intrepid interiors? I'm really getting sick of a necro'ed complaint being brought up every month. I missed out for the same reasons and almost quit the game. I don't need to be reminded of how badly I got screwed over, with the amount of money…

I don't like giving this particular advice to the general community, but sometimes my feeling sorry for someone clouds my judgement. Never open a box or pack expecting a ship. If you open one, it's for other reasons such as lobi crystals. That is the only time I open boxes, and doing so when the 2nd Xindi box came out, I…

Under a hundred of "us," that I know of, form a circle that manipulates the ingame economy from dil prices, reward and ship packs, to masterkey prices. We work hard and spend billions of ec's trying to mop up anyone that undercut's us in order to keep the economy safe and secure. In order to have those amounts of ec's we…

They better start listening to the players dropping dough, again. This trade in business is bs. I never got to participate in any of the summer events. This will be my first. I have no pearls and I want those specialization points and emotes. They can look at my purchase history on my account and they know I drop about…

Why the heck do you need 22 toons? Why do some people create one right after another? Doesn't it get monotonous doing the very same missions over and over already knowing the outcome? Grinding is the same as working behind a computer but not getting paid real money for it. At work you usually do the same thing you did the…
-
It's not a "Chinese Method." They started doing it in medieval times, probably before recorded history. Making someone work or pay more then they need to to get what they want. For example: You goto the hardware store because you need 4 bolts to replace old or rusted ones. They sell bolts in bags of 4 but the nuts you need…

PWE Made a huge announcement a few months ago. They stopped using the Steam Wallet system.

Please let this post get necro'ed again. It has already been determined that they aren't rereleasing these bridges again. Don't bother asking why or giving reasons on why they should. A hundred people already have and it didn't do us any good. This is a topic I'd like to forget as I would have given my right TRIBBLE for…
-
I thought we had finally necro'ed the Voyager Bridge's. It took a long time, so lets not get people's hopes up again. To answer your question: Yes it has been ruled out due to previous offers cryptic have made and did not offer again. Not to mention the outcry demonstrated by the community. Cryptic didn't even take time to…

Being a business owner myself, the real reason you price something this way is to force the customer to have to buy more then they need. You get more money from them and so what if they have some left over? You just made twice as much as you should have off them. Same reason There are more hotdogs in a pack then there are…

just clicked the link works for me. some blue buttons in the middle of a page right?
-
Yes you are right about most of what you said. With out sophisticated equipment and software it would impossible to breach a government or a service provider's database to obtain information. However, everyday people come very close to it, and some succeed. Remember Target the cian department store? A hacker or a group of…

Having the same problem. I've given up for the night. Decided I'll take a nap and wake up 5ish and try again. In my previous posts I just want it to be clear I'm only trying to help. I know people that have lost everything from identity theft. I had to spend a considerable amount of time and money to lend a helping hand so…

I'm sorry but I have to ask: "Did none of you even read the article I took time to write?" Actually read the ENTIRE thing if you haven't. And stop posting your IP's to the public or I'll be tempted to tell dental that there is free candy here. For some, hitting rock bottom is the only way to learn or take something…
-
I take it those of you that just posted your IP on the forums here are just asking to be TRIBBLE by some bored hacker. There are few rules for internet interaction and information: 1. Don't share login details especially your children, Don't give out your credit card #, bank account info, social security #, phone #, date…

You people are ridiculous! Have any of you been around for at least 2 to 3 years? If you have you would know that Cryptic, like any other similar company works on their own time schedule. They're in California while US servers are in Boston. The servers don't have someone 24/7 that sits there with a pot of coffee waiting…
-
oh now that's just flat out cruel! I like it! Forgot to mention that the main server is called "Holodeck." This idea has been discussed before by players. As most of us know, Agent Drake has put us through an advanced holodeck to assess our potential of becoming a Section 31 operative. What if all we've done up to now is a…

As for the topic of there not being any ships IRL that can wipe out an entire fleet, guess again. An aircraft carrier or fast attack submarine have the ability to release a nuclear device on top of or below an enemy fleet. With today's advancements in hydrogen bomb and warhead yields, a single torpedo or missile could…
-
This is the exact idea I tried to point out earlier. The Fleet Admiral stays at a well protected base of operations. He/she has admirals and captains that carry out his/her orders. He/she relies on his/her admirals in the field to make the proper decisions and to keep him/her updated. No it's ok k20vtech, lol. I actually…
-
You are correct sir, I haven't served in the navy. But I do know that the Admiral would be on the safest ship in the strike force and that he would not transfer to less protected ship if the strike force were engaging enemy fleets and aircraft. I can safely assume he would be in the carrier's cic working with the captain…

Before I show proof of admirals dying in both Wolf 359 and Sector 001 I want to address the LT to FADM in a matter of months. Using the 21st century as an example. Back during WW I and WW II, The need for soldiers and officers became so great that they started taking anyone they could find. If you could hold a gun and…

As stated above: Just with her looks, the galaxy crushes the guardian without firing a single phaser. When it comes down to a cat fight, the T6 Galaxy is the bigger and better cat. They made the guardian and then redid the galaxy to out class the guardian. If you want my honest opinion, they required a lot of ships for the…
