I don't think the pubbies have quite figured out yet that EPtP is basically Cryptic's way of giving the middle finger to all their anti-disco whining. I suspect once the summer event starts, the forums will blow up much in the same way they did last year. If we're lucky, we might actually catch Klytemnestra back on Risa for some well-deserved R&R.

Was it a lot of effort to get the corvette?
It's a bit of a grind, but if you were doing it one character it wasn't a big deal. Five or ten minutes a day tops? Main trick was if you wanted them on alts too... even doing it on, say, a fed/klank/rom trio took it up to something like half an hour a day and doing the same quest over a hundred times. Having a massive discount for alts is so much more convenient.

Since foundry reviews are apparently back can some kind goons please play and review the Bijor missions?

Press "j" to bring up the mission window.

The latest part is still stuck in review content so search for bijor - part 2 in "Foundry" -> "Review Content"

If you want to play part 1, go to "Foundry" -> "Browse All" and search for bijor - part 1.

You need to be on a Fed (sorry)

e: You might need to check the thing that says become a reviewer.

Thanks goons.

I wonder though. I did the summer event for the corvette last year on all three characters, does that mean I'll get that discount for the cruiser this year on all of them?

I wonder if the discount will automatically occur if characters already got the corvette from last year. Probably not, but I want to hope. I'm still getting the cruiser for my Klank though.

That said, I'm actually glad they're expanding on the holiday. Of course, that'll mean I'll have to grind favors to get everything I want, but no rush.

Is there something interesting I can do with prisoners as a Klangon? Since I finally got out into fed space and started raiding I'm fairly swimming in them. I haven't found anything other than sell them or wait for the occasional sell to Orions doff mission which doesn't really come up enough.

Turn them in at the guy you turn contra in to.

Also, in case anyone hasn't given it a go yet, shuttle fleet alert is amazingly fun and profitable. All of five or six minutes, 118 marks of any type (plus the daily bonus where applicable), and no cooldown afterwards. It's crazy fast mark farming.

Also, be sure to throw a torpedo (preferably the gravimetric, but most work) with 3x projectile weapon doffs and kinetic shearing. It'll be a way larger percentage of your damage on a shuttle, and the difference in killing power is noticeable.

There's also military missions in Eta Eridani and one or two other contested zones that let you turn in 5 prisoners for 500 dil with way higher success rates too. But yeah, they're basically a bonus dilithium source and don't feel bad about shoving some out the airlock if you're too lazy to turn them in.

It's four prisoners, so they're a really great value, the problem is they're not always up and they take 8 hours.

Yeah just fill those when you're out marauding (they're in pi canis, regulus and eta eridani which are all good marauding sectors) dump and leftovers into any open colonization fleet projects for extra fleet credit.

I went with the Dyson Weapon three piece and it's pretty drat good. The cannon is fun and deals decent damage, the torp is without a doubt the best thing you can use and the console is a nice buff to the torp. Set bonuses give you a little more survivability. I thought about going FAW but decided on HYT and I've been crushing ships left and right with it.

I was drunk and bought one of those wrist lances so I could roleplay as Mega-Man. It was a lot of fun at first but in the cold realization of sobriety I am now just left with a hollow heart full of antiproton flames. I think Ill just stick to splurging on ship stuff.

Still a pretty cool/good AoE though.

It's kinda meh... damage is fine, but the proc isn't too exciting; it really needs to be a higher chance. Worse torpedoes around though, yeah. And it works with Spread and HYT; the HYT version is a big destructible projectile like plasma torps.

Honestly, the ground gear tends to be a lot better buy than the space lobi gear. You can get costume unlocks from the armor, and the weapons are all pretty good and have unique gimmicks. And you can just toss them on a bridge officer if you have regrets.

Do the upgraded solanae suits in the lobi store unlock tailor outfits? I like the look but theyre not great armor to actually wear.

edit: Flying shuttles for like four hours straight last night makes me really wish Cryptic would put a little more thought into shuttle gameplay. There's a really great mediocre dogfighting game mode buried in there. Its a fun gimmick currently but I think it could be an actual thing with some effort put into it.
