quote:

For a limited time only starting today, players will be able to purchase the Key Ring Bundle! This special pack includes 20x Master Keys (used to open any Lock Box) for the price of 2250 Zen.

As an additional special promotional offer when purchasing this bundle, every pack also includes a single Ultimate Tech Upgrade. Applying this item to any upgradeable piece of equipment will instantly set both its Mark and Quality to maximum (usually Mk XIV and Epic/Gold quality) with zero Dilithium Cost!

This promotional bundle will be available in the C-Store beginning now through ending on October 10, 2016.

I wonder if those ultimate upgrades are transferable and if so how much they'll end up going for.

Huh. That was another thing Champions Online has been doing for a while, offering a big pack of keys with some other special item as a bonus. They did an infinity lockbox first there too, so I guess it's just a testbed for things they don't want to risk experimenting with on a game that actually makes money.

It's not that great of a deal compared to the usual 15% off 10 packs that they used to do. Basically that "free" upgrade costs you 338 zen or 135 thousand dil (assuming dil at 400).

I hadn't checked contraband in a while, since before they changed the cooldown to be a lot longer, and geez it's down to 6.5m a stack. :eyepop:

It's literally impossible for a newbie to earn money at a decent rate now without spending gobs of real cash. And the promo ships are once again going for way higher than the exchange even allows. Maybe it's time for me to finally give up on this lovely game.

Between this and the Mk13 ultra-rare temporal recruit bonus, I think we can safely say next 'expansion' will lift the cap to Mk16 Ultra-epics. And Tier 7 ships.

And that's it, the entire expansion. They'll up the level requirements for all the endgame missions to level 70 and that's all.

Their space ship is called the "USS Hoagland," presumably after someone called "Richard C Hoagland."

You joke but you know Cryptic would totally do this if they could.

And the only reason they can't is because the code for ranks is so baroque and undocumented and tied into so many different things it would literally break the game if they changed any of it.

Realistically the game should have capped out at Captain at launch and bumped us all up to commodore when Admiralty came out. At this point we're all key members of Starfleet's Admiralty - we shouldn't be running around shooting gorns.

For anyone unfamiliar with unironic hack fraud Richard C Hoagland: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Richard_C._Hoagland

quote:

Hoagland was "best pals" with Walter Cronkite, Carl Sagan, Arthur C. Clarke and Gene Roddenberry. Since he mentions these "facts" about 20 times a day, he clearly thinks that's all we need to know about him.
Although he has written of "my decades-long, demonstrated scientific competence", he has no special knowledge of, or standing in, any branch of science. He has no education beyond high school and his count of peer-reviewed publications is exactly zero.

Don't be silly. It's not just more power, the warp field bubble has to be balanced. If it were to collapse during warp it could tear the ship in two. Everyone knows that having 3 nacelles is very hard to balance that's why ships traditionally have had 1 or 2 or 4 but not 3 or 5. The fact that the federation managed to get the third nacelle balanced on a ship of that size shows that they were in serious dire straits if they were willing to risk it.

Your 29 nacelles could never in a million years be balanced properly.

Excuse me, I think you'll find that not only did the Enterprise refit add a third nacelle, it overhauled the existing nacelles to the new dual-coil standard. The Galaxy-X has six sets of warp coils, not two. Therefore, adding another nacelle does not inherently unbalance the warp field, and furthermore :techno:
