[Feron]

Woohoo, soon the gamble boxes (as well as a Lobi Shenzou) will be coming to Star Trek Online.

This will be soooo canon-breaking, but it will be fun.

It will probably be in excess of 1 Billion EC.

It’s a lockbox ship, it won’t be. If it was an R&D promo ship, then yeah it would be in the billions. But lockbox ships are more common, they stay in the 6 digits.

I’m talking about the PC version, I’m not sure how the economy is on consoles.

Why are these tier 6 ships if they're from 23rd century?

When I played this game I bought bunch of stuff from the real money store, but then I could actually buy the thing I wanted. I'm not gonna use real money for random stuff.

Well you don't need to, it just takes a bit of grinding.

The reason given in game is that these are 25th Century ships which are made to look old so that they can operate in the temporal war without arousing suspicion. That sorta works.

The best thing to do is to sell keys on the exchange, and then use the EC to buy the ship you want.

I guess... But at this point could they just completely separate ships look from the stats? It is a bit annoying that some old ships have tier 6 versions while many don't.

I must have about 15000 dil by now with my monthly stipend, all that dil and a LT membership and they are still not adding anything to the game i have any interest in that would make me want to actually fire it up and play it again. lol
