I have been playing close to almost 7 yrs since this game first came out and I had some fun and some good times but ever since these lock boxes came out I have yet to win a single ship all I get out of these boxes are **** and more **** and don't say its luck either cause as of today and the day before there is a certain player that keeps winning these ships like no tomorrow he has won 7 T6 connies and the kelvin dreadnought in a span of 10 mins and don't say its luck cause it s not I know that there is a exploit on these boxes and its BS and not fair to honest players like me that want one of these ships and don't say GET ONE FROM THE EXCHANGE BS either cause the ones that are winning multiple ships are the credit farmers that put them up at 400mill EC plus I have over drat near 30 toons and I have yet to even come close to that mark of EC I get it you guys going to say that there are other T6 ships in the Z store granted they are good ships and all and granted I have almost all the ships from the Z store not all but about half and yes I do get the 1000 day reward ship and its T6 counter part but all these ships are just **** compared to the T6 connie and the kelvin dreadnought and further more if these so called 1000 day reward ships are so great including the T6 version of it why isn't way better than any ship in the game why are they so crappy compared to other T6 ships and yes I did beta testing and then some it would be nice and or fair to EVERYONE to get something good out of those lock boxes besides BS junk but no instead its the credit farmers and the exploiters that get these ships over and over again while players like me that try to get one can't get one and the fact that they put them on the exchange at BS prices.

Besides the 1000 day veteran ship (U.S.S. DALLAS-X8) he's dissing in his post, he also has the Kobali T6 event ship (U.S.S. DALLAS-N), the Breen T6 Carrier (U.S.S. DALLAS-Y), the T6 Scryer (U.S.S.

So it's not like doesn't have access to good ships, he's just terrible at utilizing what he has.

He estimated that he had 50-70% of all the c-store ships.

He was in zone chat again, this time whining that his 500z a month stipend wasn't enough to get a t6 Connie, the best ship in the game for dps, before 2020.

He's been ranting about this poo poo for like 3 days now I wonder if he's legit taking meth.

To be fair it sounds like he just bought the Delta Pack and none of those ships would be my first choice if purchasing a good endgame ship. It's possible he's managed to exclusively buy the worst ships in the z store.

He's upset about never cracking a lockbox ship, despite having spent $2000-$3000 opening boxes. And that people shouldn't tell him to just buy the lockbox ships off the exchange, because the only people selling them are credit farmers who charge hundreds of millions of EC. And it's impossible to get that much EC, despite the fact that selling $2k worth of keys would net billions of EC. Also that the veteran ship isn't as good as a lockbox ship (true) and I think he wants cryptic to make better veteran ships. I'm honestly not sure if he knows the difference between in-game veteran and real life military veteran.

Obviously, the problem is the ships he has, and not the fact that he's mixing beams, DBBs, cannons, and multiple (aft) torpedoes on his ship.

Oh, and people who know how to spell and use punctuation are "more holier than thou"

That's $2000-$3000 in one day. God knows how much he's spent over the years, if he, as he claims, has been active in STO for seven years.

For all the new people who might not understand exactly how insane this is, keys are roughly $1 worth of zen assuming you get the 10 packs while they're on sale. They currently sell for about 6 million ec on the exchange. Crazy vet is complaining that he can't afford the lockbox ships on the exchange because they're 300-400 million ec. He could make that much by selling less than $100 worth of keys. Instead, he (claims to have) spent thousands on keys opening boxes, and got nothing. Also, opening that many boxes would give him thousands of lobi, enough to buy a dozen lobi ships. And the lobi ships sell on the exchange for quite a bit, so either way he should easily be able to afford any ship he wants.

I thought he said in a roundabout fashion that he wont buy ships as it supports the space 1% who use exploits to control the key market.

bad at maths posted:

well I doubt that I can ever get a T6 connie or the kelvin dreadnought because they are way to priced to high and further more a credit farmer is a player that farms credits then sells the credits to other players trying to get them to use their credit cards to by the credits that they are selling and in order to do that they sell these ships on the exchange and they are using exploits to do that its not hard to figure it out cause no other players win 7 T6 connie/kelvin dreadnoughts in a span of 10 mins and I spent more money on this game trying to get one and I will never get one plain and simple
