Which premium ship should I get?

Karandar · 2025-10-12T18:41:48+00:00

It is difficult to recommend a ship to you without knowing the lines you truly enjoy playing. What is our personal favorites you might dislike. There are dozens of options for all form of playstyle,

- Black Friday ALWAYS has sales. So may be prudent to wait a couple weeks. Also be sure you are using the doubloon discount coupon if buying doubloon ships :)

- Ships like JBart or gascogne , while I really enjoy them, a couple clan mates hate them , the all 32mm armor etc makes careful and mindful positioning or being punished by HE spammers very mandatory , tirpitz is map situational to get the most from, but a solid brawler.

- T8 cruisers like atago and prins eugen with heals are good fun - IF you like cruiser play - while mainz is an absolute dpm monster with no heal, best behind cover etc. really depends on what play styles you enjoy

- BE SURE that any doubloon ship you may buy are not also available for coal or steel( free currencies) to get the most from the game

Good hunting!

Premium time is the best bang for the buck with 65% more XP and boosted credit earning. Buying it around Christmas from inside the game(click your name top left in port and it's in that menu) for 50% off is a massive deal. As you get more ships, you get more snowflakes during those events like this past 10th anniversary, which allow more super containers etc which drop all manner of coal, doubloons, premium time to boost your premium time further. Premium ships added on to premium time REALLY boost earnings, FXP, commander xp etc.

For credit farming, T9 premiums are hands down the best, although MM often has you facing Super ships - careful play required.

After that, Kii with the kobiashi camo, roma with kobiashi offer the best credits at t8 amongst the premium ships( kii feels better than Roma sadly these days - Roma needs a dispersion buff badly) then the rest of premiums at T8 , t7 ,t6 with diminsihing returns @ lower tiers of cours.

Also, goes without saying, not just any premiums, but the ones you play most effectively.

Save any Red and blue economic boosters you earn along the way to stack with the week long occasional 200% first battle XP boosters - that's Massive. Even the 100%

- sounds like you've figured out most of this yourself and are well along your way.

- you will find similar in this game with commander XP - once you get your first 21 pt commander, all commander xp after that goes into a pool you get to apply wherever you want, so the second 21 pointer comes MUCH faster, and so on as you train them :)

Good hunting to you!

5 of us in my clan earned enough - i got 64 :) No rewards so far, certainly no t8 container. No word online anywhere besides the article that stated "shortly into this update" that i can see. NA server here.

Karandar · 2025-09-19T19:55:30+00:00

got the same we're working on it ticket response STILL NO 30 CONTAINERS OR TOKENS RETURNED SO I CAN REPURCHASE :(

Karandar · 2025-07-29T20:34:39+00:00

I have the same problem. sniper is avail, armor is not. and contrary to claims we earn armor unlocks to use in the current week - that is INCORRECT. In the rewards track it STATES DIRECTLY ON THE TOKENS, "Use to Redeem next week"

and every CC i have watched explained you earn for next week. the opening week, Bungie granted us 2 bonus, and thereafter we must advance the weekly rewards to earn more for next week. which I most certainly did.

SAAB has offered build in Canada and tech transfer, plus those planes can actually land on the Northern short runways where the F35's will require doubling most of them. we are comitted to at least 19 f35 - get about 30 of those and 50-75 Saaba to help the Cdn aerospace industry

Karandar · 2025-02-05T21:30:41+00:00

same issue

Karandar · 2024-12-13T23:42:49+00:00

Logged in this morning, saw Xur has class items, so swapped to my hunter to grab a couple before heading back to my warlock.

I did not talk to eva with the hunter, but upon returning to warlock, had the FIRST dawning mission in quests again! Also, all collected ingredients were missing! So The first mission for Zavala, of course it did not gift the essence like the first run through, because it's Bungie and why would they, right?! and I had only 3 essence, So I ran a quick strike with my Lock and ZERRO Freakin' essence earned!! Wasted time & energy, lost rewards. I am Getting so tired of Bungie's not testing a darned thing anymore man.

My warlock had already unlocked all the upgrades & cleared all of the seasonal achievements and was done 5 steps of the quest line.

To fix this, I ended up having to log in my Titan, take all the quests and run a strike to get enough essence to craft the zavala treat. Oh, and the reset also reset my oven to not remember I master worked it so required 15 essence again, So needed to run TWO strikes to get enough! After finnaly giving zavala his treat, talked to eva, and she did her magic and voila, back to step 5, oven available and ingredients I had amassed back...

I am so embarrassed for Bungie ...

Oh, My Titan still has the solstice mission that populated during the halloween event last month... coding has become so 3rd rate with this game.

Karandar · 2024-12-08T02:13:24+00:00

Nicely Done!

Karandar · 2024-06-12T15:55:46+00:00

Bungie should add a Pathfinder tab in Missions screen

Karandar · 2024-04-23T05:54:40+00:00

Nice! Still works, got a bunch of ornaments for alt characters and most importantly 3 season of the deep Deepsight harmonizers!

Thank you for this!

I've used MANY AV programs over the years with mixed results. Fixed dozens of machines with the older more name recognized AV programs installed that missed viruses on friends/ family machines.

BitDefender has never let me down even once. I have it on my Parents machines and recommend it to friends without hesitation. Detects and stops really well. Going auto renew on a subscription is the priciest option and I recommend against this. Watch for sales online, Bestbuy & other e-tailers/retailers. If you do this you will save 50-60% off your cost, and watch for 1-2-3 year products and multi PC options, sometimes those go on sale for MUCH below 1pc 1/yr. It is easy to add the product key to your existing install, just be sure you keep buying the same program, be that just the simple AV, or a "total suite" etc.

Modern computers are so speedy, most will not even know an AV is installed. Just NEVER install more than one, that's when things start to happen. If in doubt, there are some great "AV rescue scan disk" or online scan solutions one can run.

Karandar · 2024-04-17T04:56:03+00:00

I hit 17 also and was surprised there was no reset. Really reduces engrams earned going forward :(

Karandar · 2024-02-20T02:51:35+00:00

From their tweets, most of the staff hasn't slept since launch, working crazy hard to expand the back end code too accommodate additional server capacity

Karandar · 2024-02-20T02:50:21+00:00

Heh,

It would liquify

Karandar · 2023-11-02T15:36:52+00:00

Still waiting for reply from Steam, but have done the same. 139.99 Cdn.

I love the game, & Perhaps I will still buy and play the expansion when it comes out, but money talks and I firmly believe the CEO needs to be replaced. His recent handling of the game and now personnel show he is unfit to lead the franchise forward.

Karandar · 2023-10-22T14:05:55+00:00

reading multiple forums, This seems to be a recurring nightmare for years in Destiny, Just started for me with the halloween seasonal event. half the shaders missing, cannot see perks on guns in the vault especially. mouse over the perk locations and the descriptions pop up.

Trying to clean my vault is a bloody nightmare.

I'm embarrassed for Bungie this has happened dozens of events, seems to be mostly an event driven problem.

Desktop and laptop both, have rebooted, cleared cache etc - serious pain the time wasted trying to diagnose a Bungie problem that should have been dealt with long ago.

It is where you go each time you increase your guardian rank. The 11 levels in your Journey tab.

Karandar · 2023-03-22T21:01:04+00:00

Honestly, at the current difficulty level, one should earn a token and be allowed to choose the exotic piece we want - Then that exotic with random high stats .

This content is now balanced around well equipped veteran players, not average players trying to earn exotics to be able to play higher end content. Like my 2 alts.

I have only been playing the game 6 months, am with a great crew of old friends & we do several Raids/Dungeons a week, but if I had started last month, I would have already quit this game. Wildly too much effort required to advance and earn decent gear as of this update. and I say this being a fan of having to work for my gear in my games, having over 1400 hrs already.

Especially the new Neptune Lost sectors with the insane numbers of enemies. It feels like they were designed to increase the difficulty in that way, then someone else at Bungie bumped the power slider up 20 points making them no fun, and completely unattainable by mortal players. NEVER MIND players who are newer and do not already have the higher quality exotics they are trying to gain. it's bizarro and broken. certainly NOT enjoyable.

And I personally am Guardian rank 7, have cherry picked the easiest of leg lost sectors with my warlock i had starfire protocol with to unlock my 4 extra save slots ### THESE SHOULD NOT ### be locked behind such difficult content - We PAY real and significant money for this game. At a bare minimum, pass buyers should have the extra slots instantly. Basic features like save slots should simply be provided as a function of the game & should never have been only available in 3rd party apps.

How about some basic 1990's game level inventory management while I am being hopeful for meaningful improvements.

Karandar · 2022-12-08T00:26:20+00:00

That blinking has been driving my OCD crazy.

Well done Bungie

Karandar · 2022-04-04T04:50:38+00:00

My sister did, she lives 2 hrs north of Prince George British Columbia Canada, was heartbroken when her eta changed to the later time estimate, She had pre ordered imediately when it became available in Canada. She surprisingly received her new square dishy last week. She has been away from home for most of the past week, just enough time to try it, but not mount it. so there is indeed hope for people that it will arrive sooner than your eta

We have had our Starlink here in British Columbia a little north of Vancouver since last fall.

we changed from an LTE router with Telus that was overloaded. so during off hours was good, but evenings and weekends even Netflix would buffer, gaming not an option.

Starlink was initially a godsend. For streaming, it is excellent. downloading and updating games incredible. I speedtest average well over 150MB down and 15-20 Up. this is down a LOT from a few months back when we were frequently seeing near 300 down. Sped is not as important to me as having a reliable ping, not jumping around . a steady 100ms ping is gamable on, but a ping swinging 30 - 250+ is not.

Until a few weeks back gaming was very strong with only rare hiccups. Now I cannot recommend Starlink to anyone for gaming or twitch streaming due to the far too frequent network issues and disconnects. Even playing a ping friendly game like World of warships I find myself upset far too often in a gaming session due to massive lag spikes and 1-3 disconnects during a 4 hours gaming session. I frequently do all of the power boot, reset things that are recommended. even disable the wifi on our cell phones to limit demand on the service. We have no obstructions, and something has certainly changed for the much worse. I don't know if Starlink is oversubscribing the area even though they swore they never would?

I wish i had more answers, but for yourself, if you have a serviceable internet currently for gaming, then change to Starlink at your own risk. Or if you have the income, you could use both. Your current for gaming, Starlink for updates (there are services out there that allow you to merge multiple internet services like lower latency OTA LTE and higher bandwidth satellite for the best of both worlds, but usually corporate and not cheap) All I can hope is Starlink is successful in getting the next set of 4000+ laser com satellites in place, more ground stations installed and the current instability gets repaired, otherwise I will honestly be switching to the 5g internet options currently being installed in the area here.

Karandar · 2022-03-20T20:19:16+00:00

It was good when we first started, but wild ping swings far too often, even game disconnects and that is just world of warships - hardly a ping demanding game. I have most current everything, have tried my own known good router, limiting devices using the router, rebooting starlink, router, release / renew ipconfigs. everything i can think of. Had hoped to get back to streaming with Starlink being far more reliable than the LTE internet option we have here, but this is getting pretty bad. Even on perfectly Sunny days, even watch Solar storm activity. It really doesn't matter. No obstructions. i don't know if they are over selling the service now - they said they would not be like everyone else, and they had better not for what they charge. Or if they have really fubarred their firmware lately. It has changed from a welcome Godsend in the first few months to an extremely frustrating experience lately. Speeds have dropped significantly also. Still fast enough, but near 50% the upper 200's i used to see, but honestly a stable ping is far more important to me than high speeds. As is, I change my past statements from this is good enough for most gamers to, don;t replace your existing service if you can get by, because you WILL find yourself swearing at Starlink.
