    Berserker is going to sell like hotcakes on Exchange.

    And I'd say there's something worse than just 11 consoles about this boat: It means that T6 Shipyard is imminent.

    What?

    They already mentioned T6 would have fleet versions, Delta Rising just invalidates all previous gear and method if acquisition of high end gear, this is also Cryptic so the Fleet system will just get another holding but not "now", I suspect its more they want to skin all the players they can get for a few months before they do it again with a new holding, my stand of not doing it is because eventually the smackdown will come from above and they will lower things to more rational costs otherwise this became a game were new players cannot even enter because they are bar of making any actual progress.

    if not, fuck them.

    Just finished tweaking the Eclipse. It looks beautiful with Type 6 material and Type 2 windows:

    They are tradeable though, so one can just save up some EC (~10-12 mil) and buy them from the Exchange.

    You just have to look at it with your special eyes.

    Cryptic has been saying all along that the price would be somewhere between 500 and 1000 zen, and it is, so....what's the problem?

    I'd say the best news about 5U tokens is that they are an accountwide unlock (not sure if this is the case with Fleet ships tho), so they're actually a better deal than Fleet Modules. Still, only use Zen on them when a major sale is on.

    It looks wrong on so many levels, the Mass Effect comparison says it all. And not in a "it's good for what it is" way.

    Hopefully the rest of the playerbase has better tastes than you! (okay you got the best out of it, but even you can't turn a turd into Arcanum in SPACE)

    Pre-patching was indeed pointless, but I expect to explore the Delta Quadrant in early november judging by the current speed.

    Math for dummies.

    2500 + 700 -3000 = 200

    Check the cost of T6 ships, that is the problem.

    To me the math looks like this:

    3000 - 700 = 2300 saved. The money I spent on my Fleet-level T5 ships is a sunk cost regardless of what I do.

    The T6 ships don't interest me. I took a good look at both the Mat'ha and the Guardian, and came to the conclusion that I'd rather fly a FT5U Peghqu' (upgrades for free, no less!) and a FT5U Regent. That means I've spent a grand total of 700 zen since DR dropped, as compared to the 6000 I would've needed to spend to get the Mat'ha and Guardian. I'll take another look when we get our T6 shipyard and the 11-console Fleet versions of these ships are available.

    Having said all that...I do feel that the prices on the T5 C-store ships need to be dropped across the board if Cryptic ever intends to sell any more.

    Well it seems to be just login for 10 days ... well 6 for me since Delta Shuttle is for 10 days and I already own it.

    Only question is HOW we login,just login or ARC login? Either way I can just idle or so "something" for a hour, if they try to make people queue ... well then NOPE!

    As far as I understand it, they just log how often you log in between 14th and 28th of october. If you log in on 3 days you get 3 master keys, for 6 days you get an additional 66 lobis and for 10 days you get the derpa flyer. No word about about Arc or not though. I would wager it requires you to log in through Arc, since the Khan stuff and Ferengi shuttles were only awarded when logging in through Arc IIRC.
    No word about it on the german language board either.

    Just a heads up for your quest to aquire the Grav Torpedo Vaarna_Aarne: people are complaining about it and grav well being horrible uneffective against DR enemies now, because they are coded to use stuff like EM/EPtE or are outright immune. Same goes for cloak, which seems to be as useful as holding your hands in front of your eyes in a "they can't see me if I can't see them" fashion now.
    Better save your spacepotatos for now.

    Already put in too much for Romulan to back down now, but this does mean that my kitteh can get some other torp. What's the new hotness then?

    No idea. My rom is using the Rompla for the set bonus, while my fed is using biomoc photons because i am running the 8472 set.
    The Rompla is a mixed bag for escorts though, most of the time the enemies are either dead before the snake of doom bites them, or she bites me in my own ass because the autotargeted enemy was too close to me. Against large targets like a borg cube it's still op. A tractor beam (borg set to not loose a boff skill) is pretty much mandatory for optimum use in normal fights.
    The new delta rep torpedo seems to be like a tri-cobalt blob and doesn't make my pants wet.

    Everybody check your doff seating. I noticed A2B had stopped working as expected only to discover that all my tech doffs had been cleared out of their space assignments.

    Also...if you're looking to make some EC and you've been keeping up with your crafting and sample farming, tech upgrade prices on the Exchange are currently beyond insane. A single improved beam tech upgrade was going for nearly 1m this morning. You need 30 of them to upgrade one array from Mk XIII to Mk XIV. Getting beyond that to epic requires your firstborn.

    Level 10 is what you need to craft an "improved" tech upgrade, which will require a handful of EC and common materials and 10 minutes of your doff's time. I couldn't believe that those were going for almost 1m earlier today, but who am I to argue with player idiocy when there's profit to be made from it? I had about a dozen spare beam upgrades sitting around and listed them for 950k each. I'm sure all the morons who ignored the new crafting system are regretting that decision now.

    It seems that the thing fueling this is the fact common mats also go for nearly 10k a pop.
