Oh, is that all?
Practically giving them away then.
*Looks at borg juggernaut*
Don't judge me, I know I'm a hypocrite.
I did just run an TFO that was almost the perfect voyager run. There was a regular voyager, the pathfinder, my dauntless 2, if we had a regular dauntless and the terran version it would have been the run.

Weird that it's the only Cryptic game on there, since Neverwinter makes quite a bit more.
Unless this is a metrics thing. Gearbox had Neverwinter making way more but quite a bit less per player, and it's a lot cheaper to run since Neverwinter's getting a lot more active development (they literally just got their second top to bottom progression overhaul in a year).
Then again maybe the trek license is pricey to maintain?

The one thing I like about STO's monetization vs other GaaS that I spend on is they do have a fair amount of systems baked into it such that it doesn't really feel like an absolute "waste" per dollar despite the RNG. Then there's dil to zen, so if you do want to go full free, you're not actually locked out of the paid things too. But yeah, spending in this game just doesn't elicit as much of a "why?" than in others.
I'm not sure what the infograph was measuring with that. Goat Sim 3 doesn't even have micros, and I only know of the blogo/crit response to Saints Row so I don't really have an idea of how well did either... Volition was shut down after all.
Also now I'm going to have to message somebody when the banner pops. I think I have a screenshot from the time I won the banner and saw my name... unless xbox deleted it for me, lol.
What? Surely you jest! Heavens to betsy!
I will say when I got my proto I actually missed that I'd gotten it and was only when I was checking the shit to sell off for parts I didn't realize I'd gotten the ship I was after. Humerously when I got my most recent infinite lockbox I got a message of "sell or keep" KEEP YOU FUCKING IDIOT!
And yeah STO definitely gives you stuff if you just play it. Like the seasonal giving you a lockbox ship if you wait. And that's not account bound right? Shit even if it is, that's still 1.5 bil credits even if its from last years lock boxes. That's how I'm going to get my cross point to finish this clicky build.
I am looking at the titan science destroyer because I'm a forever whore for the next big thing.

and being able to buy zen for 85 dilithium back in the glory days
If they hadn't made the legendary Akira yet another tactical flight deck cruiser with dual cannons I would have bought that.

Somehow, I always imagined less etheric lightning during sex.
Has porn been lying to me all these years?
pleasepaypreacher.net
currently available if you want to get a cool model, but it sells out pretty fast
pleasepaypreacher.net
That's cool.
Also man I got super like on my uggo captain my engi doff popped into an aux to bat baby, oh yeah.

It's been years... please say yes ;o;
If you did the last event and picked up that borg set the shield is quite decent and has an excellent 2x with the rifle
Or the Romulan Navy set isnt bad either for a consistent quest reward
if ye have a stash of winter event stuff the breen set from there is also excellent
New Mudd bundle dropping (which maybe speaks to the game not going away?) nothing jumped out as a must get, best ship in it is the tholian itomi and that's around 200-250 milly energy credits with the lobi sale on right now and the rest is not worth 150 dollars.

Should note that I still play this on console, and I don't think we're have parity with PC other than seasonal events*. Just checked the news page and "Incursion" drops for us November 1st, is that what would have it?
ediT: I got the candle, but I know in the past we didn't get the same ships as PC did during events either.
here's the thing if you want to take a better look https://stowiki.net/wiki/Adaptation_Ground_Set

I assume Zen store purchases, and probably event things?
Probably not lockbox rewards. Or Lobi things. Maybe account wide unlocks you can, and probably nothing else?
edit: and did I see right that if you upgrade a ship, it's upgraded for every character who has access to it?
As a general rule, lockbox and lobi cannot be reclaimed, I think account wide stuff may well be as you effectively reclaim it on a second character but I am not 100% sure. Fleet Ships also cannot be reclaimed, but they are also single char unlocks, so the pattern holds.
Upgrades apply across your whole fleet yes, but only whole upgrades, eg 1x upgrades the ship, but you cannot then apply 1x on 2 different characters to make it an X2.
You can also drydock your old ships, which deletes any equipment on them but makes a note that you own the ship
just..maybe dont have anything important or expensive on there in case
I just mastered the only ship that has Superior Area Denial on it, the Mirror Engle Strike Wing Escort... and I expected the trait on my KDF char in the dil store, but it's not there. There were two other traits though. Because the FED captain hit 65, that unlocks those ships for all my characters... but does that mean that I now have to master the ship on the KDF char?
I read that it was in the starship trait box, but it's not... is this crossfaction thing the reason why?
edit: I can't claim the engle on her... how do I get this trait? >\
edit: nevermind, I have to get the KDF to 65 so she can then grind the mastery herself. can't say I'm a fan of this... feature tbh. I don't want to fly a FED ship on her.
The Engle has 2 sources, one a lockbox drop, which is not reclaimable, two as part of one of the Terran bundles, where it becomes an account unlock.
So, I think if you wanted SAD on a kdf character and didnt have the Terran bundle, you're out of luck if you've already claimed the lockbox version on a fed
Which does kind of suck
Did they reshuffle the episodes like a lot? I did see a lot of under 100% completions on episodes on my other chars too. Like, I know I didn't finish up to Delta Quadrant on a few, but at the same time it's like... one or two missions in the old ones that should have been done.
I resisted the urge to name the Engel "Heresy", but I'm going to do a few patrols to master it.
Then I have to decide on which carrier I want to like rally stick with. Torn between my Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier/Orion Blackguard... I just want to spray bullets into the fray as my fighters do their thing and look cool! I kind of recall there being a Battlestar looking ship but I don't think it was a T6?
The most battlestar looking ships (at least imo) are the KDF "vestas" and the Jem Vanguard carrier. The vanguard in particular is great if you want a huge mob of npcs on your side, but sadly it's much more sci weighted for consoles, which means you can't pack as many of those nice hanger buffs in
With Bridge Officers, the most important thing by far are the powers each of them has. I just followed this guide and don't have an issue:
Is on the long end, but it covers all budgets from the bottom all the way to Lockbox abilities.
