    That's a kind of absurd figure that doesn't at all answer the question of WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT TO? I dunno about you, but it cannot have failed to escape your notice that you can only wear one set of gear, and that unless your ship is really new, you probably already have one.

    I just said theoretical if you want everything on the rep thats the cost and assuming just one of each,I am pretty sure there were people that brought multiple STF sets for the BOs with the Rep system, I know some did with the Dyson ground set because I seen it on the Dino Tagging grounds.

    This is assuming people arent braindead and keep buying multiple sets, in that case cost is infinite.

    The only thing I am unsure is the Turret part of the weapon set if its restricted to one equipped or not and if not the actual cost of each.

    They don't, that's a lie. The end-report lies and the actual reward is something amazingly crap, like 50-ish for Viscous. Haven't tried infiltration, but my understanding is that it's like 30, and unpuggable.

    I have and I suppose people can sabotage it by picking the wrong choices, so far I been about 28-30 points with the occasional one wrong selection with the bonus always accomplished.

    Payout at the end been around 35 marks, not sure how low can it get on full failure even if I suspect its 15-20 marks considering how Cryptic really want people to farm things and so shitty pay ... the good thing about Infiltration is that is not too stressful with filler combat and broken abilities like "Viscous Cycle", I am not going to say that is PUGable since technically it can be sabotaged to lower pay but still better that "Alabama Strike Team" (never such a mission made me want to turn off voice so badly and I am talking about Vicious Cycle) because those fucking rifts and bullshit annoyance mechanics and Battlezone with its 5 minute for fucking 15 marks Voth and other "I hate every single one of you" mechanics.

    I think battlezone right now is 60+35+15 if you get everything but that means half of those braindead fucking morons actually learn to EVERYONE GOES TO THE SAME FUCKING PLANET KILLER instead of slplitting up and everyone gets 2 out of 3 and lets not go over about their "anti-tagging" mechanics that lowers our pay because we dont actually LIVE on the fucking place and sometimes we get in when its half-way into completion and we can only get 2 or 3 zones.

    100 Marks with the daily reward though.

    The mark reward is your score/2. But Vaarna is right, you get a daily reward there too. So the first Viscous Cycle of the day gets you 55 +50 (or whatever your score is) so over 100.

    I'm just not sure if you get the daily bonus on the Battlezone AND Viscous Cycle or only one of them. If you get it on both then it's a very easy extra 50 since you only need to capture one point in the BZ and then bail to get the daily bonus there, no need to stick around for the whole thing and dino safari.

    Yeah, point+bail is all you need to fill daily, no need for a lengthy grind mission with a lying reward.

    Ok, so I actually got hooked by this game and am probably staying with it for the time being, despite reason. Especially since I just got my brand new Tactical Escort, which I'm really enjoying, because it explodes Borg drones like a motherfucker.

    Is there a Codex Fleet i could join and contribute my Fleet Marks? I am already in some random fleet (got an invite and accepted), but I'm guessing there is a way to switch.

    I promise it won't be like with that Neverwinter fiasco, when I left the game forever two days after joining Codexian guild. There were no Borg in Neverwinter.

    Yes, there is. We have a Fleet both for KDF (Sab'tahboq wo Du'ya, or something like that) and Fed (Codex Civilization Defense Squadron).

    Easier if you just post your charname@username from the game here (they are case-specific btw, so include all spaces and capital letters and whatnot), we can send you an invite to the fleet and chat channel afterwards.

    No problem, but I don't feel comfortable posting it publicly, so I PMed it to you. Hope that's ok.

    Cool thanks, I'm sure your long lost uncle, the Vice-Prince of Nigeria will appreciate it.

    BTW, both fleets are already maxed out, but Norfleet occasionally runs a provisioning project where you can still dump your fleet marks.

    Vaarna, when are we going to fail miserably at totally dominate No Win?

    Norfleet's the guy in charge of our No Win thing, but currently we don't have much pressure outside of ego since we got huge Mark surplus now that the bases are finished (until we get bored and queue SB5).

    Is there ever another reason to win No Win, other than ego? There's plenty of easier ways to get marks.

    Also, SB5 probably requires the GDP of a small country to complete.

    With the possibility that (At some point) the level cap will be increased to 60 and along with that the chance SB will go to T6 I submit now may be the time to make the push for T5

    (While it is true I could use a huge project to gain FC this endorsement is not based on that ....honest)

    When you slackers start SHOWING THE HELL UP. For some reason I sit here all day and there's nobody else around to even run it with. And, of course, farming NWS is still a fairly good path to acquiring ludicrous wealth. If we were to acquire vespene like water, it is possible to recycle this stuff into purple doffs and then pawn them off on the market for $$$.

    NATURALLY, YOU FOOLS NEED TO ACTUALLY SHOW UP AND ASSEMBLE A SHIP.

    Actually, if that were true, then now would definitely NOT be the time. Assuming that T6 were to suddenly exist, the time to build it would be *AFTER*, so we can actually benefit from the +allXP boost. There's also the fact that I don't see anyone wanting to volunteer 3 million minerals to pay for this non-functional "upgrade"....and *I* sure as hell ain't, because I already paid for the rest of this shit.

    As for FC gain, the customary method of FC gain currently is for you to join a surplus farm fleet, and dump the non-valuable items. Since there is no particular pressure to actually do-anything, production schedule is nonexistent. It is also possible to simply sell the surplus to other fleets, but the market is a bit slow.

    Well, we have these annoying "life" things. Also $$$ (EC) are pretty useless, we REQUIRE MORE MINERALS.

    You can get more minerals by buying catfood.
