Apparently these things are being added to the Phoenix Store to help combat the Dilithium Backlog that's accumulated, it was mentioned that this was more of a "bandaid" than anything else, so hopefully we'll get more to combat it. One thing I'm concerned about is if the event Epic Token we got earlier this year will be able to be used on the Compiler, because if it isn't then that's a major issue. I used my non-event Epic Token for a build earlier this year, so if I need to go and get another Epic Token when there's already one in my inventory, then that's a major issue. The other things are neat, I'll definitely be grabbing the Emancipator Outfit and I'LL WEAR THAT TOP HAT BETTER THAN YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO, and also the Black Ops Mine Launcher, because that's actually decent for SciTorp builds
The main problem with the DilEx backlog is, that most of it is caused by gold sellers, not by regular players. If DECA wants to get a handle on it, it needs to find ways to frequently cull the gold sellers. I'm sure AI could be employed to analyze the patterns they use to farm and link them to their accounts.
@@outlawedTV88 The Section 31 movie coming to Paramount+ in January. I'm assuming STO will do some sort of little thing S31 related around that time like they have for past series, etc.
@@MotoAviator Geez how did I missed this? I was waiting for 3 season of Strange new words but missed completely about the new movie - thanks for mentioning!
As someone who uses Beacon of Kahless...I didn't know it was visible to other players... Welp, another item getting relegated to my vault until changed. :(
I'd been interested a few times in the Lorca outfit visuals, but couldn't justify the price for what would only be an outfit for me. Now, I can blow the dust off of a few of my dozens and dozens of Ultra Rares.
If they’re adding event stuff into Phoenix packs again, my only wish is they add the Khitomer. It’s the only alliance ship I don’t have but god damn it’s a beauty
I certainly plan on getting the Emancipator outfit, got to bring back that Victorian era style! Also I will probably get that mining laser for my main, all will saying "A fine addition to my collection"
I just want them to put the Kitomer Battlecruiser in the Phoenix’s store. Don’t care about the stats because I’m causal. I want it for the looks. I saw it in the mudd bundle last week, but I stayed strong and didn’t buy it.
Lol, everyone or no one is casual in this game, in my opinion. It's not competitive exactly. Nor is there much of a pvp thing. Although I wish the game had more rpg stuff, I do like the fact that I never feel humiliated, or deal with toxic commentary/players. Nice ships instead.
I'm in the same boat as you, my friend. I've been so frustrated about the Khitomer bundle for so long and not having those ships because the story and ethos behind them is just wonderful. I will play devil's advocate though: getting them through an Epic token means it's only a single character unlock. Even if you have the Epic token from the event this year on all your characters, you still get that only one per character, meaning if you used it already on the character you want the Khitomer on, you'll have to spend about half a Mudd's bundle worth of Zen to get another Epic token for only a single character. While the Mudd's bundle is still ridiculous, at the very least you get it on your whole account and have access to the other Alliance ships/consoles. Obviously don't let that stop you from grabbing it if DECA ends up putting it in the Phoenix store one day :)
I hope they keep adding stuff. I'd like to see the lobi T5 ships moved over there. Nobody wants to drop lobi on a T5 anymore. I'm hoping they do a T6 hirogen battle cruiser though, or whatever that one is called in lobi.
The appeal for the Black Ops Mine Layer has always been that it was reclaimable on a new character, being one of those things that make early leveling of a new tune easy mode.
No one mentions the best part of the Voth Exosuit, the Tholian Assault Droid that comes out and shoots Tetryon damage. I normally just slot this and get my Tetryon endeavors within a couple of maps for the 20k damage. That is the main selling point for that universal kit module.
Wait how I missed that? Is there a button to acticate this tholian droid on exosuit? I tried the suit few times and was underwhelming so I stashed it and forgot all about it
Crystals are awesome for doing Colony you can pretty much afk it if ya want. Very good for beginners or anyone really. I use the beacon often in PvP good lil distraction for an escape and also forces that stupid Jelly out of jelly mode for death lol
The only one of these I didn't already own is the Evil Lorca Armor, but hey, I often see people round ESD rocking the costume unlock, so it'll be cool to finally set up an outfit with it. And even if I already have most of these unlocks, its good to finally see another update to the Phoenix rewards, I'd long since assumed we'd never get another update to them.
Merry xmas all, in my opinion nothing change with this action, same as item did before as dof and ship card from fleet holding, because they dont understand the game. They should include allowance of shotgun to all boff instead to be limited only to captain. Also picard machine gun should be available to all boff, this will make a good multiplier as dill sink.
Eh, nothing that tickles my fancy or i don't already have. Doubt this will be nearly enough to significantly impact the DilEx backlog. They gotta add a LOT more interesting stuff than that!
10,000 Gajillion pardons. I really thought that Beacon of Kahless thing only popped in my instance or screen or whatever only on my own computer. It's so damn annoying that I just assumed it wouldn't be broadcast to the entire TFO. because obviously a bad idea for it to do that. I really really really really didn't think I was harshing everybodies TFO Zen with my flash bang Klingon doohickey and I'm sorry for all the "maaan, why'd nerdo have to pop epilepsy triggers on me when I'm all preparing for muh attack run," oatmeal what I spat in ever since the ding dang thing dropped. Sorry.
Crystal Prism, I have a couple characters who could use it. Kor Uniform for CAPE. I have been looking at, and wishing for, the AP weapons for a couple ships. Given that in my weekly DnD game I used a Hat of Disguise to give my character a top hat and tailcoat yesterday...
Naturally. The Phoenix store is used as a dumping ground for all the older stuff that doesn't really sell in Mudd's. If it doesn't sell for Zen, maybe it'll for tokens/Dil.
Absolutely no good to those of us that have played through the grind for them originally & have them all. Your right about the beacon of Kahless though & the other 2 are the Bad Lands tornados(make me dizzy & are annoying as f…, & whatever that swirling sphere is that makes u feel like ur stuck in jelly.
Honestly, if I didn't already have the ship the event, I'd rather get the Hysperian Battlecruiser from Mudd's than the Phoenix store so I could get it as an account unlock.
@Stu1701 I have 2 epic phoenix tokens that are going to continue sitting in my inventory because there's nothing worth spending them on. I don't have the Compiler, but I'm still not going to waste a token on it. I'd rather get Hysperian from Mudd's, but I'd take it for a phoenix token.
Yeah, I agree. I was coming at this from the point of view of people who probably don't have these items and now have easier access to them. But as a dil sink, yeah, this will have very little effect. This is only going to appeal to more casual players. If they want to make a dent in the dil exchange, they need a sink that will appeal to long-time players with mountains of dil piled up.

All the stuff the store is getting I already unlocked, either through the event or through Mudd's.

For a "looks only" choice, it's actually a fairly decent ship too! I hope you get to fly it eventually.
