Like I did with the ships in the Genesis and Command Carrier bundles then? 😁 I'm toying with the idea of doing the same with the Responder bundle. Are the mirror material variants worth the Zen when I have seven 100% coupons and no other ships I could use them on? As far as I can tell that's the only plus to getting the…

That means you must have your own opinion of Strange New Worlds then :D I've still got Armada and Dominion Wars, as a PC gamer I never owned a PlayStation so I had to rely on my mate and we played Invasion on his, though he wasn't a hardcore fan like me! :D
-
They came from 3 games that date back to turn of the millennium: Achilles- Dominion Wars (2001) Premonition, just like the Borg Assimilator a few months ago- Armada (2000) Typhon- Invasion (2000) That makes me feel old 😆
-
That's the temporal drive, the source of its time-travel ability 😁 EDIT: I see someone else beat me to it! 😆
-
In case anyone was wondering, the Achilles was a prototype warship that featured in the game Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Dominion Wars, and the Premonition was featured in the game Star Trek Armada. And the Typhon (apparently) featured in the game Star Trek: Invasion, which was a console exclusive. Two of them were…

That's what I ended up doing in the end, using Arc to remove and reinstall the entire game, which did the trick.
-
I was hoping to see some actual numbers for how effective they are, such as for the Plasma Distribution Manifold- how much extra weapon power does it provide?
-
As it appeared onscreen it showed that the Odyssey class looks way better from above than it does from below, and because when you're flying it you're looking at it from above you're only seeing the good side most of the time :D
-
But not offering the missing dilithium ore that was missed as a result?
-
Same here, ran it twice just to be sure. Also noticed it's not offering all mark types as the choice of reward, only Terran and fleet. And for my smaller toons that don't have many marks to convert to dil, this is the only way they can gain enough ore.
-
It all comes down to one thing- are the ships good enough to be worth the price? I've never bothered with any of the Vesta variants, however I notice the legendary Caelian actually does have a better 4/2 weapon layout than the 3/3 that science ships come with. Has anyone bought this and how is the ship to fly?
-
In the end, I had to partly fund this myself- it was nearly 15K for the 3 out of 8 selection and I'd managed to convert 10K via dil, the remaining lots of dil I have for sale wouldn't have covered the rest so I got the 6K pack. And this was with 13 active characters all refining dil, definitely one of those First World…
-
It suits Cryptic\PWE for the exchange rate to be maxed because it means dil doesn't go as far and therefore players have greater incentive to pay real money for Zen. A better dil sink than the endeavour re-rolls would be re-rolling the three choices available when spending perk points, it's frustrating when you're faced…
-
What would be more useful would be to re-roll the 3 choices you get when you have a perk point available to spend. It's frustrating as hell when you earn a point only to be faced with three ground bonuses as a reward.
-
In that case, have to look to other missions to get the hull healing endeavour.
-
Well, re-engineering does have a dilithium cost... :D
-
It causes hull damage right away, if you have the non-linear progression trait slotted and you put your ship in reverse at the start you can get the endeavour very reliably. I tried this first with my Klingon recruit character when I saw the DoT was only 1 (said character doesn't have any such consoles yet). To rule out…

The problem with the Phoenix packs is that making them permanently available was a mistake. When they were only around at certain times they created a noticeable drop in the dil:zen exchange rates because they caused a spike in demand for dilithium, by making them available all the time that effect goes away.
-
Well, I guess it's time to start converting dilithium again!
-
Right now the best dilithium items are phoenix packs, though IMO making them available permanently was a mistake. When they were only around at certain times they would create a spike in demand which in turn would drive the exchange rate down. Of course what the devs will likely do instead is to raise the cap above 500,…

That's why the series has been accused of ripping off the plot from Mass Effect 2 😁
-
It's why the summer events become important for new captains as it provides an efficient way to generate marks for the dozen or so reputations currently available, and for existing captains accruing the newest marks to the same levels as the other marks, which in some cases runs into the thousands or tens of thousands. The…
-
Is there going to be a new reputation this summer that I should save up for?
-
You must mean across all characters, because there's zero point in levelling ships on the same character that result in duplicate traits being unlocked.
-
I don't see this being very useful for endgame characters since they would already have an all-purple complement of BOFFS anyway having replaced the free ones gained from levelling. Or perhaps I take such a thing for granted since I have many account-wide BOFFs that as with ship slots I'm always struggling for room in my…
-
That's the thing, we have a ship that has a primitive design yet is supposed to be more advanced than the Akiraprise. It's presumed it was launched when the NX-01 was decommissioned after the events of TATV when the Federation was founded.
-
I bought the 3-item pack, haven't chosen my ships yet because with the double-XP weekend I'm busy mastering the ships from the last pack I bought.
-
The mission has been around for long enough that only a total noob would be struggling to figure it out. Of course the most obvious answer to forming competent groups is to join one or more of the channels since you're no longer dependent on the rest of your group being online simultaneously. As for which channels, I don't…
-
So with the cross faction all 3 ships in the first Kelvin pack will be claimable for each character, making obtaining all 3 set consoles possible? I'm still in 2 minds, is there really any reason to pick the Spockmobile over the heavy destroyer?Booo I was hoping for a double XP to master these new ships and they've…

The 100% T6 ship coupons are of as little use as the epic phoenix tokens, I've had a handful of those drop but nothing to spend them on, and previous events have given me various 50% and 100% off coupons, the only one of those I spent was to get the Titan. I have a few experimental upgrades but they're too awesome to use…
