I'm away from home this week. How much has the price crashed so far?

They've dropped to 300mil, some people seem to be trying desperately to keep them at that price despite the bugship not being worth nearly that amount any more. Must be a lot of former rich players panicking right now. :v:

Realistically though even the T6 bugship is a piece of crap because Intel Escorts exist with cloaking devices.

Classic hide attack noob > bugship. Pity PVP & the rest of the game is dead in the water.

Last night I saw a bugship at 250mil and the JHEC at the same price. Listed my JHEC, since it's value has went up by 100mil thanks to pubbies wanting that console set bonus for their JHSS.

Thanks again Shutup Wesley for Wesley Christmas. Time to buy me another Astika.

I made a pre-generated applicant response form you guys can copy/customize and use for people who want to join the Academy.

We actually now have enough people sending me application mails that it was needed.

I can also relay the applicantts off to others for processing if you want to put in some extra work and help raise the next generation of Dentists.

Just hit me up in our channel (railrokh) and tell me to send the next applicant your way.

I'll keep this brief.

I beam down to Vulcan to pay my respects (virtually) to Mr. Nimoy. I am thinking about how unexpected this was and my shock towards this tragic event. I walk up towards the Memorial and what do I see (besides Spock's statue)? 3 PARTY BOMBS SURROUNDING IT! The fleet "Starfleet Dental" has had a consistent presence on this planet since the Spock's installation and has been trolling the **** out of it 24/7.

If you can not realize that this is highly disrespectful and extremely tasteless, I really don't know what to say...

THEREFORE, my suggestion is this. I humbly request Cryptic/PWE devs to PLEASE place a Subspace Party Nullification Field around ALL Memorials currently in-game and (unfortunately, but inevitable) future ones too so that players may pay respects in peace and remember the deceased.

The following player + handle below is one of those consistent offenders from Starfleet Dental. Funny thing was, he was dropping bombs and making others players dance, yet HE HAD A PARTY NULLIFIER ON HIM :mad:

We need to collectively rise up and crush these imbeciles.

The invisible walls that keep you out of the statue break the line-of-sight on disco balls, so you can light them on all four sides if you want.

Do you like scary movies?



I started asking in goonchat, but figured I'll continue asking here to not clog things up. I'm looking to get my ship and all more current, but with the state of game what it is, I'm not looking to go all balls out top end upgrading. Last time I did any serious gear/ship upgearing was when the voth stuff was new, so I know all my crap's in need of work.

I'm currently using a mirror assault escort that I was following the cheap escort build on the wesleywiki. I did get suggestions on going with a Nicor, Manasa, or Phantom if I wanted to stick with escorts, but cruisers being an option was mentioned. I really don't know much on cruisers since last time I tried one, it was slow as gently caress to move. From what was said, that's not quite the issue that it was. Equally while I'm with the DHC/Turret workup, I'm open to go with something else like a Beambuild. I'd like to keep costs low where I can if that helps the suggestions any.

Beams are much better than cannons these days and there's lot of fairly nimble cruisers to choose from. What's your budget in terms of zen/EC? If you can afford one off the exchange the Astika is a really good cruiser and it comes with an insanely good ship trait.

Without going into specifics, anything under 100,000,000ec or 10,000 zen's doable. This is what happens when you're a lifer and don't log in for months, and are quicker to sit on stuff than spend.

Saving for it myself... - Though I have a Phantom & a Presidio, so just interested in there is something really DIFFERENT worth getting. I suspect if you have a Persidio, there is not too much point in a Astika?

Yeah there's at least a half dozen Astika's on the exchange around the 95 mil mark. So I'd grab that. It'll unlock a ship trait that gives a big bonus to power levels when you use beam fire at will which you can and should use on any beam build. I'd sell that zen for dil, you'll need a bunch for upgrading gear and the price of zen is currently spiked thanks to the new bugship promo. You'll be able to rebuy any zen you need at a good profit once the market calms down.

Alternatively you can use some of that zen to grab the promo packs to sell on the exchange. They're 4 for 1000 zen and will fetch about 7-8 mil each. Just don't actually open the packs unless you like gambling and hate spacemoney.

If you can afford it it's basically worth it for the ship trait alone.
