The official forums and reddit pubbies and such are an even mix of the usual "time to drop $1000!! thanks cryptic!!!" mouthbreathers and with people who are clearly aware that something is rotten here but are unable to articulate it or are getting shouted/voted down by the first group.gently caress this game.

gently caress, I want that Dreadnaught. But I don't have the patience to get the 1billion EC I'll need, and I'm not spending any real money.

Then T7 comes out in a year and makes that science dreadnought look like a piece of crap.

I seriously doubt they have another big expansion in them; that idiot well has to dry up some time. But then what do I know apparently it's completely normal to pump tons of money into the game every time some new ship comes out.

Trendy takes the screenshots for the blogs most of the time. I'm not sure if she actually plays the game outside of taking screenshots.

Acer Pilot posted:Do they not understand math? And the picture there is a perfect example of those messages are spammed across the game. It's pure psychological manipulation to make the odds seem more favorable than they really are, since people only see the hits and not the excessive number of misses. It's the same reason slot machines light up and make noise when someone wins.

We could comment about P2W blah blah about the krenim dreadnought but honestly it's all been said before about many other ships. What's interesting about this particular offering is that it instantly obsoletes even the other ultra rare limited edition T6 ships like the sheshar and jem hadar attack ship (not 6 months after it obsoleted the T-5U attack ship BTW). It looks like they packed everything in they could to open wallets and if I said Cryptic "blew their load" on this ship I think I would be accurate. The question is: what comes next to make this ship look like crap and obsolete compared to the next shiny collection of expensive overpriced gamble addict pixels? Because I bet the science dreadnought replacement is surprisingly close over the horizon, based on how fast they are chucking these things out now.

Also I eagerly await the intel/pilot JHAS variant so the JHAS can be obsolete twice over. Since we all know it's coming. Cryptic has bled off any remaining goodwill in spending money on ships... you always want to give customers the illusion of permanence, especially with digital sales.

I would like the Pilot Manoeuvres more if they didn't have those overly exaggerated RCS thruster effects when using them.

Oh, huh, the new episode (will) reward a Tetryon omnidirectional beam! Presumably you can slot it alongside a standard Tet omni. Huzzah for a Tetryon DBB build! ...yep, Antiproton it is.

Tuskin38 posted:Oh you guys The whole thing is hilarious. You can tell the pubbies are grinning and bearing it for the devs, but are trying to slip in passive-agressive insults, thus the "checks for drugs or laxative" comments. This is the best thing, because if the pubbies weren't already suspicious of a dev-dental relationship, alarms are surely sounding off now.
