He/Him. Trying out this Tweeter thing. I do secret international government type stuff for $$. Basically Uncle Sam's bottom hoe.

@DarthDragonborn @AmbassadorKael Dude, climb down off the crybaby, angry at Cryptic, neanderthal mindset. They can't just wave a magic wand and discover out of the ether where a small percentage of players live to narrow down the issue, hence why Kael is trying to gather information here

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@ODST_Parker @trekonlinegame They said that themselves in a ten forward after it appeared in game. It's not like this is difficult to put together, Cryptic like money, Borg ship bring money.

@theopholus @trekonlinegame Spoiler - it'll have the starship bridge because even the minimal amount of work for an interior is too much

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@westindiesboyz @trekonlinegame Lobi store ships are dead and gone. It's not worth the time investment vs the return for them compared to something like say, oh, the Shrike in a promo pack where people were winning the pack 20+ times an hour when dropped.

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@KrisNephilim @trekonlinegame Yea? This literally happens every quarter, you can basically set a watch to it. 3 months after this there will be another extended quarterly server maintenance.

@Obso1eteRealism @Stu1701 @trekonlinegame Did you open them all on the same character? There's a pity system in place but it is a per character & per lockbox basis. If so that's some hella bad RNG cuz I popped 3 within 250 keys

@B_Money112687 @Stu1701 @trekonlinegame All of those mods apart from [pen] are extremely dated and can actively harm your damage potential when/if they activate

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@deavon_paul @greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame Eh, I got way more money than I know what to do with at this point. Worked hard, invested harder so now I got about $3k of hobby money to blow a month on various things before I need to get authorization from the Mrs to spend more so I say "why not?"

@lamawithagun @trekonlinegame https://t.co/pRbpYpFuTq

Yea, it's already in the game.. and, as predicted, it isn't kitbashable and has no additional skins

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@DarthDragonborn @AmbassadorKael Hahahaha, Connie variant to the C-Store as a regular ship.. that'll be the day. Unfortunately, they will want to monitize the fuck out of a Shangri-La. I know I'd pay lockbox price for that, hell, I'd pay double lockbox price for it.

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@AlyssaD1776 @trekonlinegame Won't happen. The real money is in lockbox/promo sales and they've said time after time that KDF/Rom ships just don't sell as well as their Fed equivalent because the majority of the playerbase is Fed people playing to be Federation.

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@Lexers5 @trekonlinegame There will most likely be no compensation. The event itself could still be progressed, it was just the Dil reward that was down. They usually only compensate or extend it the actual event progress was stunted for some reason. 🤷‍♂️ is what it is, was only a day or two

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@jjwardyjj @trekonlinegame Good thing you don't need any of these ships to be powerful and play the game then

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@EHomunculi @trekonlinegame Different size to them = different ship. So hell yea they're gonna try and make bank on it

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@lamawithagun @trekonlinegame That's already in the c-store, due to the size difference I doubt it'll be kit bashable

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@deavon_paul @greyspectre2100 @trekonlinegame Anyone with the license will do some form of macro transaction content. People need to get paid and companies want big gamer money. It's obvious the cash is there, hell, I drop a hard $1000 USD if there's something I want 🤷‍♂️

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@JrodBlueBE @trekonlinegame They could have, but weren't going to. Where's the money in that? They already got your cash once now they're hunting other people's cash. Hell, I bought two of these bundles today just for the deflector + new traits 🤷‍♂️

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@Ginger_Trekkie @trekonlinegame 🤣🤣 yea, they'll just give away the skin which is one of the primary selling points of these legendary bundles. What do you think Cryptic is, player friendly?

[Mark Russell @_MarkRussell_]

@RickVic2 @trekonlinegame It wasn't meant to be slotted in the visual slot, the visual they spoke of in the blog was just the orange hexagonal shield bubble which the current vanity slot doesn't support, it only supports hull visual changes. The prodigy vanity shield drops from prodigy box weapon packs
