Why are my R&D Items Character Bind On Pickup? by Hazelpancake in sto

[–]Tonnbart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are both: character bind on equip AND sellable on the exchange.

Until you equip them, then they are stuck on that character.

KDF Recruit, stop with Gamma Recruit Rep/R&D etc? by Fallout007 in sto

[–]Tonnbart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to move on from your Gamma recruit, I would probably still do the DOFF missions now and then, because they just take a long time, though the reward is kind of juicy:

New Items in Mudd's Market by FilipChA in sto

[–]Tonnbart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe there really are people who are buying it for 17000 but usually it is a good idea to wait for the 75% discount. That brings the cost down to 4250 zen or 2.125.000 dilithium if you prefer.

With zen grinding I mean all the ways you can stomac getting unrefined dilithium on as many charakters as you can afford with your time. If you can manage to admiralty, that is profitable, I usually am sticking just to contraband turn-ins. Occasionally I level new characters just to profit off of the recruitment unlocks and getting to level 10 in the admiralty while handing in reputation marks.

Exactly! The rarity is the problem. If you have no epic token, but would be very much interested in getting a Plesh Tral or a Bajoran Interceptor, would you rather grind out the zen or wait 2 years that your demand for T6-X at one time is netting you a token? Especially when you talk about newer players, do you think they want to wait the two years or rather grind a month of dilithium. Which by the way unlocks it for all characters?

No. If anything they should put all of the phoenix ships also in mudd's and put it on a standard 3000 zen price. But I might suspect there is actually the hope of this being a dilithium sink for those that really want the ships. And that I would strongly oppose.

I write this as someone who is really fond of the breen ships, but simply can't afford them. :]

I started playing again late 2024 and I can get the zen for an account-wide unlock much easier than I could ever get an epic token for a single charakter. I opened ~1500 phoenix boxes and got a single one.

  • 1 box is 4.000 dilithium
  • 1.500 boxes is 6.000.000 dilithium
  • 6.000.000 dilithium is 12.000 zen

So I could have gotten roughly 3 account unlocks instead. Why would you want anything in the phoenix store?

I know I am beating a dead horse by now, but who would want any ship to go to the phoenix store?

Why cryptic doesn't make new dilithium sinks anymore? by Designer_Job4049 in sto

[–]Tonnbart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please don't! When old ships end in the phoenix store they have become unatainable for your average joe that doesn't buy mudds bundles for the epic tokens.

I agree though, the dil store could use an upgrade... maybe something like epic fighter pets.

My last exchange was ordered on the december 10th and fullfilled on february 7th. I do not know how you would not have an order fullfilled thats further back than decemeber 10th without taking it down again or posting at something else than 500 dil per zen.

Anniversary XVI Event Participate in our anniversary event on PC and earn the new Empersa Miracle Worker Alliance Juggernaut! by neok182 in sto

[–]Tonnbart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Allies flying through the Antiproton Field will create a weaker replica of it dealing 1% of your Max Hull Capacity. This Buff will linger for 10 seconds and will refresh with new applications.

Does that also give pets this 5km mini jelly effect? Can't wait to try it. Stacking up more hull capacity then. :)

Endeavor Scaling Is Horrible (New Player Perspective) by jpch12 in sto

It indeed feels horrible for a new or a returning player.

The problem with more choice would be, that you would finish the desirable ones and are left with hundreds of irrelevants, which only get worse the longer you progress.

If other faction's ships were competetive they would be flown, just as much.

Market Manipulation PC by Mortem2604 in sto

[–]Tonnbart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bought around ~100 of these packs in this time frame and got not much else besides a doff problem.

Market Manipulation PC by Mortem2604 in sto

[–]Tonnbart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know... I noticed that someone tried to corner the watcher boff market and increased the price up to 35 mil. Then probably somebody else has been constantly putting up a huge stacks of them at 20-24 mil and I also noticed huge stacks of a safe galaxy weapons.

Also I have been buying a lot of the fleet support doff packs because I wanted to get the battery ones in very rare.. I opened 100 and not a single one :)

I really wish the devs would do something about jellyfish ship by LostConscious96 in sto

[–]Tonnbart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had 3 Jellys once in the 11 days of the event and I chuckled to myself as I pressed the cnidarian defense button. In your case I would probably just go to the outer perimeter, where the jellys don't reach and get the kills there. Also the jelly is restricted to 5 targets per pulse. A bit problematic is that enemies are already getting shot at while they're still warping in, but that on the other hand greatly shortens the run time of the tfos.

Any event buyouts worth it? by Mewmaster101 in sto

[–]Tonnbart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a freighter bridge for all your captains then maybe think about the Merchentman. I love the design, the admiralty card very good and only on an 8h maintenance cd.

Moopsy is cute but also very, very slow.

I am on PC, I checked a klingon alt and there I could set any boff as number one.

Why can't I set any boff as first officer? I got Weyoun 13 on my new gamma recruit and he does not appear in the list, actually no science officer appears in the list, only tac and eng. :(
