It's in the event window/menu thing, should be a "reclaim" button at the bottom. Also has the other event rewards like gear and such in there too. They moved it all there a while back to consolidate it but as usual for Cryptic's UI stuff it isn't really... obvious unless you already know what to look for.

Can someone slot Reinforce Local Systems V and Support Local Systems V in the main fleet a few times so we can get more buff provisions? I got shitloads of dilithium and marks so I can complete them pretty fast.

I was trying to figure out which asset they were from then realised someone had already done it. Thank you kind soul who reads these requests and actions them.

They should become available for contribution in slightly under 3 hours as I write this.

I had that happen before I selected the marks I wanted. Afterwards it showed the right number.

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.

Hmmmmm. I’m going to say they’ll keep it at 44.6%, but that number will now be a Category A exotic damage buff rather than critD. Fits with Cryptic’s pattern of false advertising post-launch changes but also choosing the dumbest possible change to make.

My prediction is the tooltip will not change but in the background they'll break something so the buff ceases to apply at all.

On my main, I have a console that behaves very weirdly, I think it's the Iconian or Romulan rep console. In my regular inventory, it says it boosts outgoing energy damage by 10%. Then when I actually equip it and mouse over it, it says it boosts energy damage by anywhere from 1.2% to 14.3% depending on the ship, what other consoles I have equipped, and presumably the phase of the moon and what I had for dinner the night before.

They'll try to half it but a stupid math error results in a different amount. I'm going to say 33.6%

I was going by displayed value. I have no idea what the actual value will be after they change it. Neither will Cryptic.

My guess is it'll be cut in half, initially, then half again as much the second time around. So 29.7% (44.6 / 1.5), then 23.7% (29.7 / 1.25).

My guess is still 8.92 since high single-digit seems normal for a set bonus value.

I assume that 44.6 is simply copied from your weapons amplification skill, which at 100 skill (all three points spent) is 40% CrtD and you've presumably got a trait or something increasing it a little more. They did the easiest thing possible, no math required, just pulled the number from elsewhere.

Just a heads up, from 11/5 to 11/12 there will be another Red Alert Spamfest event going on. Same deal as before, do 5 days worth to get an Ultimate Tech Upgrade thing and a Specialization point.

Gotta admit I'm kind of loving these Ult Tech events. A few more and I'll have enough to finish off all the really annoying bits of a new build.

What the HECK, I feel like I'm always the last player in the entire game to find out about cool items like this!



I was already running a Ba'ul AP DHC build since they were released, and I've seen plenty of the other [Arc] DHCs. Just not this one, somehow.

In other words expect to pay about half the cost of a ship for one on the exchange, because Cryptic.

Well I managed to find one on the exchange for 40m EC which while expensive, didn't exactly break the bank either. I like it. It's a good thing I can only equip one otherwise I'd go broke.

So what is the nominal "purpose" of this event Rift set ? I'm 1 event completion off from getting it. Is it something you might throw on a sci boat what with the apparently broken crit thing it has for the moment ?

^^^ This. And assuming that Cryptic doesn't nerf it into uselessness, there's a good chance that two pieces will become meta for sci ships. Though I don't think there's consensus about specifically which two pieces to use yet.
