  Woop, four little piles of tribbles... That was well worth the week and a half of grind that myself and the only other active member of our fleet put in, to actually getting 200K dilithium. /Sarcasm If you're going to put these things in at such a high price, they HAVE TO BE WORTH IT!

• ruongdoh @ Aug 16th, 2012 8:47AM

  W T F ? Is this a testemony of your capacity for creative thinking? First of all, I'd get some logs burning 24/7 in the kdf base bar, loooooooooooong B4 I considred selling roaming targs for 200K dilithium. Sure, there will prob be someone who'd love to earn 200k fleet points, but all in all I HOPE my fleet completely ignores this wastefull JOKE. Seriously PW, we T R O W hard cash your way, and this is your best work ?

• wolfpacknz @ Aug 13th, 2012 1:59PM

  Price for this is way too high...

• poopbang @ Aug 12th, 2012 5:41PM

  I would do it if FEDs got targs...

• captinjacksparow

  lol xD

• michaelsdst @ Aug 11th, 2012 12:08PM

  I think 200k is ok. Dilithium is never (or rarely) a problem in our fleet. I like this special project, despite the fact I am not a big fan of Tribbles.

• admrenlarreck @ Aug 10th, 2012 1:32PM

  Lets see 40 Fleet members, only 1 that wants this. Guess who is getting disappointed this time.

• azurianstar @ Aug 10th, 2012 1:15PM

  I like the idea of the Targs in the KDF Station, but 200,000 Dilithum is just too much for fluff. Be nice if there were ways to do this without these expensive offers.

• irrapirthesecond @ Aug 10th, 2012 10:24AM

  I actually feel sorry for PWE and Cryptic. So much negativity. But I agree. 200k dilithium for a few round balls of fluff is a little too much. So I feel sorry, but not too much so.

• viise7envii @ Aug 10th, 2012 7:34AM

  i just want to link my account any help? i have both cryptic and pwe but when i go to login as pwe i can not see my plater i created when i got to cryptic i get all my stuff so what am i doing wrong?

• shalo28 @ Aug 10th, 2012 6:50AM

  OMG my starbase is fogged up cant see moere then 5 feet on ops but rest of base is fine whats going on????

• digit369 @ Aug 9th, 2012 6:11PM

  i looked through over 100 comments and saw not a single dev or rep post a thing.... this means that this is just an outlet for players to bitch, as no dev or rep will ever address you here... one has to appreciate the EVE Online community here, when players complain on the forums, devs answer them, take them into account, you know cryptic, that thing you never do, LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYERS, CCP were told that players werent being listened to, so CCP created a player voted, player based council to represent them, flies them to headquartes every couple months to talk about the PLAYERBASE

• chandlerashari

  then go play EVE online lol, STO is pretty much a casual ST theme park. And i love that.

• stavinskyelyas

  to chandlerashari: What Digit369 is trying to tell is that CCP learned the hard way that getting their playerbase angry is the worst you can do, since then they learned to LISTEN to the playerbase. Cryptic did not loose so much money for nothing, they have a huge problem with just listening to their playerbase, and got a lot of players angry. And since PWE jumped into the fray, it's even worse as what was promised is still not coming, we have seen money grabber project coming into the game and insane prize for even the most ridiculous shop items. So now they keep doing the same with the Starbase project. The only way people could make themselves heard is by not getting the project, and making choice with their WALLET. As the game is everything except free to play when you reach lvl 50 and want a fleet ship, as even if it's not YOU who put money in the game, someone has to buy the zen to put them into the Dili-Zen exchange.

  200,000 Dilithium seems a tad much for something purely cosmetic and as minor as an NPC (that doesn't do anything) and a pile of Tribbles (that don't do anything). I'm sure my fleet will get it, but if they don't I won't miss it.

• dublinraider @ Aug 9th, 2012 2:57PM

  200k for some tribbles/targs! No thanks. :P

• karcorner @ Aug 9th, 2012 1:40PM

  We just got it and for our fed SB and it is pretty stupid, does nothing. What a waste. The Klingon one for our SB should be ready soon, at least the targ walk around in that one, I hope. Don't waste you time or Dilithium with this one!

• karcorner @ Aug 9th, 2012 1:01PM

  Still waiting on the "free" tribble and DOFF from tribble testing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• axilxx @ Aug 9th, 2012 12:17PM

  This is a joke right? 200k dilithium for a pile of tribbles....Our fleet will be skipping this one fed side and KDF

• revenis @ Aug 9th, 2012 11:24AM

  With that much dilithium, they must be warp powered.... , but seriously, thats a waste at the moment, and my fleet members have requested we dont waste time with this one, and I completely agree with 'em.

• pyryck @ Aug 9th, 2012 11:10AM

  Nice job on the project! But, as the CEO, CFO and only voting shareholder of my 1-person company, I'm going to have to forgo this upgrade as the ROI is non-existant. :)

• lordshadow007 @ Aug 9th, 2012 10:29AM

  I actually have a good suggestion. Assuming players have playe through both campaigns completely, what else is there other than dilithium hauling and PvE and PvP? We need an expansion that will allow players to play as other major powers in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, such as the Romulans, Breen, and Cardassians. How about Gamma and Delta Quadrant missions, story arcs, and playable empires, such as the Kazon, Vidiian, Dominion, Dosi, and other non-Borg, non-Undine empires. Maybe even re-invent the Maquis, with a lot of their ships stolen from other empires. Its just a thought.

• roborovzki

  I like your ideas, but it will take a few years before we will get another playable empire... And I hope it will have a better start than the klingon faction

• sheranki1 @ Aug 9th, 2012 10:26AM

  Have you pet your Tribble today? I have, because they are all over my fleets starbase. :)

• uziuzor @ Aug 9th, 2012 9:44AM

  Cryptic, You are needing to let STO players vote on upcoming special projects. Implement a voting system on these forums and allow people to vote for five choices. First past the post wins outright and second choice is implemented next. The remaining three can go back in next time. If people keep rejecting a special project, your team can see that it is not a popular choice at all. Therefore you should drop it. The implementation of this is democracy and will go a small way towards looking as though you are listening to your customers.

• feargan

  @uziuzor: You win; perfect. Remember way back, not too long after launch when we voted on things like what the next playable faction would be? ... No? Well, it happened. Bring that back please. It could even be implemented as a featured community authored mission that everyone votes on which choice they want by the number of stars they choose for the review. That way, almost no overhead would go into the creation of the voting process. Please, at least bother to pretend you are listening to your customers.

• feargan @ Aug 9th, 2012 9:15AM

  I have this novel idea: Actually come up with something we all WANT to see in our starbase. I mean, Tribbles and Targs... Really? This is ALMOST as pathetic as the garbage Mugato companion you gave us for our 800 day veteran reward. Seriously, producers/developers: Are you trying to make us hate you?

• pardusian141 @ Aug 9th, 2012 9:13AM

  200k Dilithium??????? No......just no....................................

• jumpingjs @ Aug 9th, 2012 9:09AM

  I am making a prediction with a crystal ball. People very disapointed , oh yes very clear, very disapointed. Come on! We need to coustimize our starbase interior , that would be epic, and then fleet can be special, beacuse they have a chair were no chair has been put before

• badname834854 @ Aug 9th, 2012 8:50AM

  LMBAO!!! 200 K Dil so I can have random Tibbles laying around the Starbase? This is so full of failsauce I can't even sit straight. Come on guys, come up with a better Dilithium sink than that!
