This mission has now been replaced by a new Duty Officer mission that rewards a marks package containing 10 marks of the player's choice. Thank you for playing Star Trek Online.

Yeah, I have to seriously question some of the thread bitching - what investment did you have in this game besides griefing and explosions? Because despite the changes there is still an abundance of the latter and opportunities for the former are on the rise as some of the more notorious players come back to check DR out.

In non-bitching I upgraded my ar'kif and finally started flying it after buying it right before I lapsed at the end of summer and it is pretty fun. I've been flying a scimitar for so long it's nice to do something other than make left turns. I also hit 60 and tried out bug hunt on advanced. It was pretty easy with the counter command ground set. It seemed pretty straight forward. Is it much harder in elite?

Bug Hunt Elite is pretty easy and doesn't take all that long to run, it's pretty much the new ISE.

Asimo posted:Note: this does not apply to pugs. I finally got to run ISA with a goon group last night. 5 goons, 3 with DPS over 20k, and it still took 10 minutes to finish. No real danger, we didn't even have to do the stupid 10% trick to pass the no-longer-optional optional. It's just a very long slog for lowered rewards.

Old Elite Borg STFS were 60+15 marks, now 50+25 for Advanced. Dil went from 960 to 480? I'm not 100% sure on the dil, queues were never my source of it.

Cryptic seems to be on an anti-fun trip this morning. That hierarchy boff who could actually change his uniform? That was a bug. Dancing spheres and borg gates? Another bug. And I hope you didn't have a lot of earned specialization points, because those are randomly disappearing from some people.

Burning_Monk posted:Dilithium Weekend, Gentlemen. Remember to dump your Rep/Event stuff now for maximum dil rewards! Does one get refined dilithium or ore? Also, as a new-ish player, does it make sense for me to hold on to my marks and keep farming dil through contraband mulching, the Pi-Canis run and the Academy pop quiz? With the changes, they don't make me happy, but being relatively new to STO, I'm still having a fair amount of fun. I'll have to say the increased difficulty and grind has substantially lowered any motivation to level alts. One of the things that impressed me about STO when I first started playing, was the ability to max level in a few weeks and then have fun sidegrading or leveling alts. I enjoyed playing SW:TOR for a couple of months and the story was pretty fun, but the sheer grind made the game be a pain in the rear end.

You're gonna get +50% of raw ore from everything but certain event rewards, and double the ore from mining. So farm up now and you'll have more days where you can just log in, refine, and do nothing else.

Yep. They somehow nerfed XP rewards fir kills. Because actually being able to get ship traits and specialization points was unintended behavior. 1000 XP for teo bucks, buy now!!!

Turning in the CCE rewards from this year's event doesn't give you the dil weekend bonus. Last year's still works though. Tunicate fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Oct 24, 2014 |

Unless you are a subscriber, you have to pay one time fees to equip a purple item. Now that I think about it though, pwe appears to have the same idea when you consider the upgrade system they had ryptic put in place.
