Good news: the Luxury Liner only costs 40 Pearls if you have the Liner on another character already. Same with the Corvette and any previously-owned one.
EDIT: Sadly, the third engine doesn't copy the other two properly, but you can turn it off if you wish and use only two engines.

Thought they were the remnants of what was left of PVP for the last few months. Then again I have not queued up for PVP in almost a year. I'm a little sad about that really. PVP was actually kind of fun before all the PVE grinding just to be somewhat competitive without spending a dime. I didn't care so much about the exploits and the power creep because most of us had access to that stuff.

It's like they are actively trying to kill player confidence in spending money on lockboxes and ships.

It won't stop nerds from obsessively owning everything that gets poo poo out. Many people will admit the game sucks however the only reason they stick around is because of the IP. Same reason why they will continue to dump cash. It's hilarious.

I ran one up from Mk IX to a purple XIII, and for everything but Borg I love it more than my upgraded TR-116B. Actually, a lot more. Using it feels like cheating.

If you like the piercing beam guns you'll love the Voth Shocktrooper Cannon. It's in the lobi store if you can spare the lobi.

Yeah. Tribble is basically there to test whether the server can actually run the patch without imploding. Everything else is generally ignored, and doubly so when the patch in question is being heavily rushed.

Also I think it was limited to subscribers, not lifetimers, like with LoR; still not the widest pool but a larger set.

Then they turned Tribble into "Free Preview!" for subs only.

I was really looking forward to Cryptic going overboard with this one. It's a marginal upgrade at best.

On the bright side the Intel sci ship got a secondary deflector and sensor analysis! I'm not even going to put any science crap on it now. Tractor beams and surgical strikes. Might give Technical's Nova a run for it's money.

Nah, it's sort of on the edge of the cliff right now, glass of whiskey in one hand and loaded gun in the other.
At this point, maybe Cryptic can step back and fix what's hosed up, or maybe PWE is just going to have it pull the trigger and take the plunge.
Be interesting to see either way.

They usually don't leap without some sort of parachute. Can't wait to see what it is though.

Looking at those percentages I am downright shocked any KDF/rom content ever gets made. And 11% both makes legacy of Romulus a dismal failure, and is a good indicator that you really can't listen to the Internet, people went on and on about rom ships and playable Roms and then when it comes out...


11%

Think about how low the KDF numbers are, and then remember most of the KDF demographics are farming alts.

As a warning, the upcoming patch is fixing the boff skill training so you can turn them into manuals and such. But you also won't be able to train commissioned officers anymore, so if you wanted to shuffle diplomacy boffs or the like then now's the time.

In other words buy up all the cheap boffs on the exchange with decent powers, then you can convert them into training manuals next week.

So here I am. Teach me your ways, o goon overlords.

Good afternoon fellow trekkie! All new goons fresh off of the boat are required to post an introduction thread in the "FYAD" subforum below "GBS". Content should be a thorough, well-read post, including a detailed history with previous forum groups, and game guilds. This is a basic requirement that we are all required to do and no one is excluded. I look forward to learning more about you!
