I suspect it's going to be like when Cryptic increased the bank/inventory slot size and be retroactive for current characters and applied automatically for new characters, but the phrasing in the post doesn't make it clear no.

Ironically I think the tipping point was when NoP Public Service was started and we switched overnight from being perceived as a stinking collective of Gollum clones to, well, heroes to people who didn't have tier 5 fleets who were getting ripped off left and right that suddenly had a FREE and UNLIMITED avenue to endgame gear. You know, instead of being extorted 10-20 million just for a map invite to use a vendor. (such as by Task Force Spectre)

When we became popular (to a point) it was literally too much for certain individuals to process and they broke.

Taking the entire "starbase and fleet holdings access for cash" market and breaking it over our collective knees certainly made a few people positively furious :v:

Some high level fleets were making millions offering access to their fleet holdings for non-fleet members to buy gear they didn't have unlocked in their own fleet stores. It doesn't actually cost the fleet inviting anything (save in the instance of fleet ships) if people buy from their stores, so there's really no need to be charging anything to 'cover expenses'. To address this we created a public channel where free invites to fleet holdings would be offered, thus saving the masses millions of EC which has subsequently angered the people who were charging for the same access.

Basically people hate us for being nice and stopping them from ripping off people.

I was wondering what that was about. I suppose it all ties back to my initial experience in a pubbie fleet when joining back up again in that they had ridiculous amounts of hoobyboo pseudo dkp bullshit to even look at the vendor let alone buy anything. Even if you met their contribution levels (50k fleet marks before you were promoted to 'can buy stuff) you had to wait for their 'promotion ceremony' to be able to have unfettered access to fleet holdings. If you asked for access prior to that, they would actually demote you after you were finished buying stuff.

I played wow in the heyday of 40-man raids and fairness and all that, and the above was even a bit much for me.

They made it so that you can buy piss beams from the dilithium store if you own a Galor, so you only need one now.

So once more I have started to play this game. Just reading what is said in region chat while in Earth dock is awful. Almost everything there could go into gamers.txt.

I do have a question though. I'm wanting to farm the Energy Credits up to be able to buy some of those fancy lockbox ships. Other than running a foundry farm mission once every 24 hours, is there any other way to make good amounts of credits?

Have klingon alts, do marauding missions for contraband, sell the contraband or trade it in for dilithium. There's other ways, but that's the core of getting to space middle class.

Feel free to test out part 2 if you haven't already. It's in the foundry -> review content tab if you haven't. Just search for bijor.



For those that tested it before, I updated the mission for Dukat's birthday. It now accurately shows how poorly Cardassians were treated.
