    I'm probably earning around 4/5000 dilithium per day, it's just annoying that milestones no longer come with a healthy sum. That said, there isn't really anything in the Zen store worth spending something on (that I don't already have). I'd hope they'd start putting some of the prize ships on there after so long. I'd have liked a Universe-Class to mess around with but I'm not wasting my time with Infinity boxes.

    I stacked up 20 T6X ship upgrades tokens fom the PP boxes, then had the gall to upgrade that over powered jelly fish ship T6X.........lol

    Doing gravty kills in that ship is a lot of fun, basically start the tfo, the go full jelly fish at the back of the map, then watch as the black hols drags you to it and you become a moving kill box. Lol

    Hadn't thought of that! It always kind of irked me that you can't move in jellyfish mode, but that is definitely an effective work-around.

    I was skeptical at first when I started the Risa ops, but I'm now convinced. This has to be one of the best ships they've ever made... :lol:

    You can move and turn, but very very very slowly.......i am trying to figure of if there are traits, consoles, buffs or gear that will improve this. Ha

    I remember when I last did the summer event - I was able to that with 3 characters.

    Decided on logging in for the first time in a long while, as I wanted to show tribute to Nichelle, as many players are holding torches at Starfleet Academy, where the memorial is.

    Do you have 15K of refined dilithium to purchase the ship? Dilithium comes in two flavors, raw ore and refined. You get raw ore by doing missions, duty officer and admiralty assignments. Then you have the ability to refine up to 8,000 dilithium per day (plus an extra 500 if you join a fleet and go to the Vlugta mine). Once you get to that 15,000 dilithium, you should just be able to go visit the ship purchase officer at Spacedock and grab it. It needs to be refined, though. Raw ore won't do anything for you.

    Wil Wheaton voicing Wesley Crusher, the Terran Emperor, for a new update of STO. Just announced during Star Trek Day.

    She went over to “consult” for the Federation along w/ Mirror-Janeway, IIRC, based on the current timeline I’ve seen on XBox. Not sure if the PC has more storyline there.

    That's as far as it's gone on PC as well. I'm excited to see how this upcoming episode with Wesley plays out.

    Well Wil Wheaton is pretty good at playing the evil overlord.
