I didn't get a screenshot, but it was some kind of shiny golden tunic with a golden sash and some kind of cravatte.

And here's a nice little extra special :fuckoff: from Cryptic to anyone who didn't manage to get the Sompek Bug Zapper kit module, effective with tomorrows patch:

pre:
Sompek Lightning Module:

    Increased base damage and DoT damage
    50% Shield bypassing
    Chance to apply Hold and DoT has been increased to 50%
along with getting rid of support for anyone on Windows XP. So if some people you know that have older computers aren't online anymore...

The Sompek module was complete dogshit so no one should be mad that it got buffed. Also XP is a fifteen year old OS at this point so again it's understandable that they're not going to keep supporting it.

The lightning module looked ok to me but I saw no reason to slot it or upgrade when I had the magical iconian mines of room clearing.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
Now that I have the lobi staff and most of the Iconian kit modules I kind of feel like the lightning module fits in with my character's slow transition from space man to wizard.

The path you walk leads to enlightenment.

I like the spell of frost because it just seems to gently caress up whole groups instantly and has good range combined with a low cooldown.

Any recommendation on which ship to get first off the epic phoenix pack list? Just got an epic token and I don't have any of those ships yet.

The trait from the Krenim Science Vessel pushes tanking from 'viable' to 'game breaking' right now. It's probably on the chopping block in the near future though. I'd be looking seriously at grabbing the JHAS, purely to unlock the pets for the JHDC.

Krenim or Kobali, if you really want to spend it on something at that level. The Krenim science ship has a FBP trait that's really good, and the Kobali tank has console that's great for hull healing.
I've seen seen people do neat stuff with the other ships, but the two mentioned comes with a pretty neat stuff you can reuse on other ships.

Remember to grab the emotes when you can, they're the best things in the pack.

Had a rather delightful conversation with some poor broken soul on Risa today. He made all kinds of horrible accusations against me, knowing nothing about me, but I just couldn't help myself, I had to try and help him not be such a horrible person.

After that last one, he logged off, so I sent him a friend invite, can't wait to see what happens.

So, what should I take with a rare token from the free phoenix pack? I'm thinking the admiralty ship, but I'm not sure if it's a one use only thing or not. Here's the rare list:

Crystalline Shard – Space Vanity Pet
Console – Universal – Crystalline Absorption Matrix
Console – Tactical – Automated Defense Turret
V.S.S. Tanius – Admiralty Ship
Hakeev (Mirror Universe) – Duty Officer
Mariah Kilara Marr – Duty Officer


Also, is it better to buy some packs with my dilithium or convert it to zen while the price has gone down?

Crystalline Shard is a pink sparkle that follows your ship around.

Agreed, or if you're done with Admiralty you can always grind your prize tokens down to upgrade kits and save a shitload of dil next upgrade weekend.

If you foresee upgrading stuff in the future, it's well worth spending dil on these for the upgrade tokens alone. You end up getting 10% + more bang for your buck in terms of dil, plus an often overlooked benefit if you use upgrade accelerators.

One accelerator affects one upgrade tech, but one Phoenix tech is equivalent to 4x regular ones, so you get 4x the bang for your buck from any accelerators you use.

I can't remember poo poo from playing this game at launch. I logged in and my ship was named USS SmokeWeed, which probably explains why.

Now I want to play again. How do I do join the guild/fleet/whatever, just by asking in the chat channel? Can someone invite Thrawn@RichardNixon please?

I kinda want a Flatprise just because of how comically massive it is. I'm not sure how the game is supposed to handle a player ship of that size.

poo poo's like three times the size of a Vengeance.

Oh it's going to cause no end of collision issues. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets stuck in asteroids the moment it spawns outside K-13.
