Dear God, Borticus really is back. So to recap, £50 each for some modules that do very little (and one has the most unfeasably annoying sound effects), some traits which reward basically no drops of worth, a melee weapon which is shocking poor performance against both the cost and performance of any other lobi weapon, or a decent costume (at least for the US market); £10 for a default melee weapon that does meh damage, which you'll never use anyway and which uses up a device slot too; or £25 for a 1/15 chance to get a decent combat pet (that doesn't do that much damage). So much wow.
Not unless we, the players, engage in a massive "reverse advertising" campaign. That is, the whole "Do NOT buy this item" message getting passed around to over 100,000 players.
@N7-ElusiveOne I just spent 3k Lobi last mnth on gear mostly and all of that was from opening boxes this year which did not get me one single ship!!! This year I think Cryptic lowered ship % drops even more since last year when I managed to get 3 from a lot less opened boxes and i am talking only infinity. Or it can be that Infinity is now overfulled (wording :)) with non stop adding new junk and the % is in on itself lower bcz of that, what I have found in testing after many years its not even about the percentage but something more sinister which companies do like the casinos IRL.
W😮W, That Badgey combat animation is WILD, he is a savage. It is simultaneously so violent and funny it's hard to believe it's in Star Trek. I'm also a Star Wars and Warhammer 40k fan and I can't say I've seen anything even remotely close to this in their universes, this is Space Balls level (T😅😅 crazy funny).
I took him to Nimbus and when he attacked the Gorn I could not stop laughing. He jumped on their head and started to stab them in the head and multi stabs in the neck. Yeah he is worth it. \
I just grabbed the gold Badgey and that was it. There is nothing wrong with any of it, it's just not necessary. If I buy all of those new lobi items I'll forget about them in a week.
Good vid. Not a LD fan so nothing really interesting to me from the latest additions to the store. Had there been something with a great impact then I would have considered it.
I've already made over 2 million EC in the first three days having the treat (both ground and space). I predict in 2 months I'll make benefits from it. Tulaberries and Bataret Incest also sells very nicely on the exchange, sometimes also Jevonight.
The Orion Slaver pets do exactly what these traits do just faster. I tried combining those to see if I get faster results of loot but the truth is, it is the other way around. It takes you longer to collect something. I wonder if the traits cancel out the Orion Slavers loot grabbing.
They made a typo for Drookmani Salvage Claim space trait. At the very bottom of explanation of what trait does, it says ''When you defeat a Foe OR Cruiser Rank...'' hehehe
It's honestly really sad that the Agimus Drones Kit Module and Badgey Combat Pet do such LITTLE damage. They really need to be boosted up to around Ba'ul Obelisk level. Or at LEAST to the Nano/Grethor Targs!
I bought the Badgey Mark2 (gold non combat pet) off the exchange for 1.4 million ec which is fine. It's amusing and with no sound isn't annoying....yet lol. Personally, and I can only speak for myself here, I find it disgraceful that the Badgeys were put in lottery boxes to milk the player base out of their lobi. I was hoping for better from Deca. Regardless, thanks for another informative video and take care.
The salvage traits shouldn’t have been traits. They should have been passive devices. They cost too much and take away too valuable of a trait slot for what they deliver. If you could pick one of them up, slot it into devices, and it just passively ran in the background with you completely forgetting about it, maybe it would be worth it. I just can’t see giving up the trait slot for it, especially with that return.
I saw Batchy on Nimbus I never felt more displaced in STO as in that moment, don't know I don't mind incredibly ugly popsicle alien I'm STO, never felt like this if I crossed with any Easter eggs... But that was somehow different.
I wish I could be as powerful as you're showing yourself to be: so strong that the AI can't help but struggle to even spawn enemies fast enough, because you point at them, and "Omae wa mou shindeiru"--they already dead.
There is even a weapon, an agony phaser rifle, with an alt fire that holds the target and temporarily makes them unkillable. You'll make people mad if you use it.
if you mixed the orion raider ship pets with that salvage trait i wonder if it will work better? because Orion ship pets are also meant to bring in items when they attack ships.
Nice video thanks. Would it not be better to do normal on a patrol with a cnidarian with the Drookmani Claim ? or do you get more cruiser + ships in adv and Elite ?
what ARE they thinking with some of these ground weapons...debuffs and Mark Twain? I've never watched Lower Decks, so I won't get it. I DO want McCoy's lesiure suit from the TOS movie. He has style!
combat badgey has low drop rate? guess I lucked out on that one then. I wanted only a non-combat one (no matter which one) and the first box I opened was the combat one. after that I got the non-combat mk 2 one and that's all I've spend on badgey.
There are two free giveaways running until October 1st in the Promotions tab of the Zen store on PC, but the Samuel Clemens outfit is the only new uniform in the Lobi store.
I like that they seem to be going for some interesting visual effects, but I'm confused as to why they don't make them competitive in their slots. They just have to make them "as good" combatwise, and people will buy them.
If the sword were able to be gotten for EC it might have been interesting. Other than that (and maybe the traits if drop rates were buffed) these are just not particularly interesting... and that is from a fan of Mark Twain's stories. I know the baton is the best in its (highly restricted) class, but it does not seem that much better than the (FREE) Terran Knife.
The inclusion of AGIMUS and Badgeys into STO is just so cool and fun... I'm waiting for Peanut Hamper to turn up next!! I have AGIMUS and Badgey, they're pretty useless and I rarely ever use them, but I love having them all the same 👍
So you're telling me that the pure evil murder hologram isn't the best at killing? 0/10 I knew STO was never canon but I have to throw my Oddesey model to the trash now
@@lasarith2 Oh sorry, mate. I misunderstood. He got 47 waves because he's killing them instantly. It's the same on patrols like Ninth Rule. That last mob will spawn over and over until the timer is up.

Ingenious way to claw back the LOBI they gave away
not so much I never spend Lobi on useless stuff
Not unless we, the players, engage in a massive "reverse advertising" campaign. That is, the whole "Do NOT buy this item" message getting passed around to over 100,000 players.
They forgot to make any of the items good. I'm sitting on 2K lobi, and still can't spend it.

would be awesome if you could make a separate build video for the Typhoon, cuz SHEESH, the damage! especially with it being a free ship
Thank you so much for all the info! Great content!

When you dont need the lobi anymore as you have everything from the lobi store you gotta spend it on something
Thank you supreme fleet leader appreciate it hope your week goes well sir.

prob best to use orion slaves than this new trait

No. We need to see less of Badgey.

I regret trying to get a Combat Badgey pet. I did wind up with one, but certainly not worth the amount of lobi I paid for it.
9:10 If I could have just one drone that would automatically remove that root effect after I've killed the Borg that cast it, I'd pay Lobi for THAT.
I think the suit looks like Colonel Sanders of KFC to me... lol
Every non-fan I've shown the costume to has said the same thing lol
Ha ha, I would have to agree the suit does look like Colonel Sanders of KFC.
Badgey Combat pet is for C&C builds. Will get one if they hit 60 million.
I wish I could be as powerful as you're showing yourself to be: so strong that the AI can't help but struggle to even spawn enemies fast enough, because you point at them, and "Omae wa mou shindeiru"--they already dead.
I can't think of any situation where it would be useful to keep an enemy alive by holding it.
it can, but not in video game xD
There is even a weapon, an agony phaser rifle, with an alt fire that holds the target and temporarily makes them unkillable. You'll make people mad if you use it.
if you mixed the orion raider ship pets with that salvage trait i wonder if it will work better? because Orion ship pets are also meant to bring in items when they attack ships.
Thanks for this vid. I was sick and missed you live feed also is there another kit comparable to AGIMUS all tho it is growing on me ty
You answered this in the vid. ty
Nice video thanks. Would it not be better to do normal on a patrol with a cnidarian with the Drookmani Claim ? or do you get more cruiser + ships in adv and Elite ?
Advanced isn't that much harder than normal so I'd just try to farm there to get a bit extra XP.
what ARE they thinking with some of these ground weapons...debuffs and Mark Twain? I've never watched Lower Decks, so I won't get it. I DO want McCoy's lesiure suit from the TOS movie. He has style!

weren't there also lower deck uniforms?
There are two free giveaways running until October 1st in the Promotions tab of the Zen store on PC, but the Samuel Clemens outfit is the only new uniform in the Lobi store.
I'd love to get all the badges for space barbie. But the RNG to get the combat varient makes me not care.
I like that they seem to be going for some interesting visual effects, but I'm confused as to why they don't make them competitive in their slots. They just have to make them "as good" combatwise, and people will buy them.
The non-combat Badgey is 2,500,000 EC
That sword is tempting but no weapon can replace my Ferengi energy whip. "Badgey" looks awful and I hope I never see him used in game.
If the sword were able to be gotten for EC it might have been interesting. Other than that (and maybe the traits if drop rates were buffed) these are just not particularly interesting... and that is from a fan of Mark Twain's stories.
I know the baton is the best in its (highly restricted) class, but it does not seem that much better than the (FREE) Terran Knife.
i got lipstick pain stick and badgey in player market combat is all there is
I have two Kingon alts from farming contraband
5 main and 11 for farming everything else, but stopped since Dilex has gone useless
Good grief….we need more inventory slots to handle this trait
The inclusion of AGIMUS and Badgeys into STO is just so cool and fun... I'm waiting for Peanut Hamper to turn up next!! I have AGIMUS and Badgey, they're pretty useless and I rarely ever use them, but I love having them all the same 👍
It's awful. I'd like to block Badgey so I never see it in game.
@@LocustaVampa Well that's just not going to happen, is it?
@@Nemoticon It might.
@@LocustaVampa Don't hold your breath.
@@Nemoticon I won't? Cheers
suspect badgey price will go up again once players stop wasting lobi xD
That combat badgey needs to go from STO. What were they thinking.
Right? It's the worst thing I've seen in this clean cut game.
So you're telling me that the pure evil murder hologram isn't the best at killing?
0/10 I knew STO was never canon but I have to throw my Oddesey model to the trash now
So in short ...all garbage. Should be on an EC vendor and equipable by boffs.
I'll get the lipstick baton for the novelty value.
To bad STO won't let you edit your Companion DOFF's to look like Sam.
They just gave away Sam Rutherford's Hairstyle and implant for free as costume options for STO.
wanted combat Badgey until i saw it here now i dont. i mean dont get me wrong its funny and the hold is useful but otherwise.. meh
for 200 lobi agimus network is crap

7:11 47 waves …. I only get like 2-3 🤔
I hope you pick up the loot that drops! That'll make you more EC than that trait ever will.
@@ryananon779 I’m on PlayStation, so chances of me getting it is low to none atm , it’s the amount of spawn waves he was getting.

Did you have to use such a dark lvl to test the ground stuff on? It kinda hard to se the full effect. 🫣
