The promo odds, at least on tribble, are approx 1/100, based on a 10,000+ pack test.

I don't have trouble believing they are the same on holodeck, based on the prices of the packs and the prize ships.

The packs are about 20m each, so on average, 2b etc worth of them are opened for each ship, assuming 1/100.

This also yields 1000 lobi and 100 r&d boxes. 1000 lobi is worth about 350m, 100 r&d boxes are worth about 150m

2b - 350m - 150m = 1.5b, the upper end of the price range of the ships.

After the promos end and the pack prices rise (much more than the ship prices, typically), it gets to be less and less of a fair gamble, but people are happy to pay a price to feed their gambling compulsions.

Don't forget about the internal counter that totally guarantees you a ship after enough boxes are opened!

That only works for lockboxes (and is counted individually per box, not total), promo ship packs don't get that. You could open a thousand and get jack poo poo for the effort. :ssh:

Wow CCA is laggy as gently caress these days with all the abilities and poo poo going off. Just non stop rubber banding.

Did a fleet alert to compare performance and that ran quite smoothly.

The Andromeda class (ie: T6 Galaxy) is currently at 50% off (1500zen) in the C-Store for the next 24 hours:

A generous gesture that has nothing to do with piggybacking off the launch of any other games today.

Here I am again with another wonderful keybinding inquiry, but I figure some of you with all your contra alts have this one down already.

Looking to build some keybinds to more rapidly collect the rewards from doff jobs (more specifically the contra job) and refine the dil thereof, perhaps putting it on the exchange at 100 per if possible. 90% sure there's no way to bind requesting/accepting the doff job, but I can get close enough here to save a lot of effort running through over a dozen alts if I just line 'em up in front of the guy and cycle through.

To be honest, if someone just has a list of all the gens in the game, that would be cool too. I know back in the day when that one guy was doing the custom UI, there was such a list, but that appears to have been lost to the ether.

"CurrencyExchange_CreateBuyOrder X Y" x being the amount of zen to buy, y being the price per zen.

If you're doing it at 100 per to consolidate all the dil in one spot you're out of luck though, you can only have a limited number of buy orders active at a time (5 iirc). Cancelling orders puts the dil in your exchange balance and all orders placed pull dil from the exchange balance first, your character balance second, so spamming a bunch of lowball buy orders to easily migrate all your dil to one spot ain't gonna happen unless you're actually buying zen and later selling it off for (usually) a small loss.

Tribble patch today walked back some of the nerfing to Plasma Sig Nullifiers and Plasmonic Leech. Leech now even works with the MACO/KHG shield.

That's good but not sure I plan to break my Iconian 4 piece set yet.

He's answering questions in a lot of detail. I have no idea if this StarTrekker guy is a goon or not and apologies if he is, but Spartan was pretty clear about not being able to talk about unannounced changes or speculation. Dude hosed up.

Yeah, I figure that'd be handled with some other means (multiple uses or something, I'll figure it out one way or another). Thanks for that one, though.

The doff job reward collection is the one I'm most interested in, though. Anyone know what that one's supposed to be? I'm pretty sure it exists if it exists for admiralty and R&D.

Have you seen this wiki page? I just wish I knew how to queue more than 1 copy at a time (for churning thru omegas).

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but considering the chat bar will autocomplete slash commands you can probably tinker with it enough to figure it out.

Yeah, I saw that one, but it has nothing on the collection, that just shows how to start the R&D jobs. Unless I'm blind, of course.

What are you gonna do, dance with me?

I first noticed him about a week ago, and yeah, he's on at pretty much all times it seems, just doing whatever that is. At first I thought he was doing some weird-rear end RP thing, but then it turned into some weird philosophical poo poo a couple days ago, and every now and then he responds directly to players or interjects himself into conversations for a bit.

Bleh, I'm having little luck in discerning which gen is the "Collect Rewards" button on the duty officer completed jobs tab. I'm assuming it's a little more complicated than most just 'cause there can be multiple copies of the button on the same window... but I'm pretty sure it's been done in the past before.

It's funny how when they aren't blaming Dental for the color of the moon or something crazy those people are perfectly capable of acting like lunatics all by themselves anyway.

Drozana is pretty much dead. DS9 will see some role players at Quarks every now and again, but it's far from packed.

Marquisnoir can usually be found on Risa, if you want to stop by and say hi.

tl;dr: Cryptic's giving escorts a new eighth "heavy weapon" slot, launching alongside a new trio of ships. Kind of like how secondary deflectors came along with the dyson science ships. Probably a good thing really, cruisers and sciboats have gotten numerous functionality buffs but escorts have been left behind for ages now.
