you can put them on the exchange, but the gold ones are bound to you.
Wait a while though, they're still pretty worthless (ten boxes for a credit anyone?). Keys can be had on the exchange as well for pretty eye-watering prices!

keys? exchange?

thanks!

Well I caved in and bought the c-store oddy. While I have to say it is a nice looking ship with a spiffy looking bridge, I'm probibly going to keep my flag on my sov as far as STF's are concerned. Maybe I'll use the oddy as my mission runner or something.

Did a mission for franklin yesterday (overlooked it)... It involved with a doctor called euh forgot it.. Who was cloning himself, now this is a tip not a spoiler! The first moment you enter the room, you need to destroy two weapon platforms, when you done that, you will notice that your life degrades fast and you die (while you need to solve a puzzle). I did it twice, and my level is maxed out (i think if i could level, i'm at level 5000 or so...). The tip to solve the puzzle at your ease is this:

go to that dilithium mine from the ferengi in the beta ursi sector, and buy a radiation aka space suit. When you are doing the mission for franklin, and the radiation is affecting you, just take the spacesuit and you are protected. You can solve the puzzle then at your comfort without dying all the time (except your crewmember lol).

edit: its this mission :http://startrekonline.com/node/3068

I solved it without the suit. I had my Medical BOFF with me, so she kept healing herself and me.

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3205 on:** April 13, 2012, 01:33:55 PM »

I first did it with my eng. I deployed med gen 3 and that kept me going.
My tac had real trouble though. I didn't realise you could shoot the console, or use an ev suit (not that I had one) and my sci boff didn't have enough heals.

Must have died 30 times trying to solve that damned puzzle!
The stun beam/mind meld spam at the end was equally frustrating.
Me: *PEW*
Them: *STUN BEAMHARHAR*
Me: ...
Them: *STUN BEAMHARHAR*
Me: ..
Them: *MINDMELDOMFGROFL*
Me:..

etc. etc.

I solved it on my first try.

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3207 on:** April 13, 2012, 05:57:21 PM »

You either had an EV suit or shot the damn thing

Didn't you ever play elite force? First thing tuvok chastises you for is shooting consoles! "Tactless" he called it

1DeadlySAMURAI · « **Reply #3208 on:** April 13, 2012, 06:09:03 PM »

Neither. I just kick ass!

It's a sci toon so i just healed myself when health got low. Then it wasn't too difficult.

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3209 on:** April 13, 2012, 06:23:45 PM »

Well my engineer had no trouble given that she could whack down a medical generator 3, sit on top of it and bash away at leisure

At least the doff was half decent.

At least it's not a bunch of elcor.

In the new patch the ground STF's have been changed, you now have a respawn cooldown that increases everytime you die, ive had over 100 seconds, Also Khitomer Accord Ground (Normal & Elite) has had a darastic change, you must now eliminate all borg before you goto the corridor for the IMR's as there is a forcefield that only disengages after the upper area is secured, the other change is that the optional in KA no starts as soon as you leave the spawn room.

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3213 on:** April 22, 2012, 08:29:04 AM »

The stf timers are all over the place now. It's a bloody pain especially as now no-one seems to heal anyone else! They want to avoid dying by using all their heals on themselves.
Way to encourage teamwork cryptic!

Darkthorne · « **Reply #3214 on:** April 23, 2012, 12:11:46 AM »

They added it to space too... and since there is no way to revive in space unlike ground its even worse

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3215 on:** April 23, 2012, 09:34:33 AM »

I think that instead of blowing up on hitting 0 hull I think it would be better if your ship were incapacitated rather like you would be on the ground. The ship then has a limited time (30 seconds or so) in which one of your friends can rush over and get you running again with a "team" power (Eng, tac or sci team) overwise you have a core breach and can re-spawn within a few seconds (5-10 seconds).

have cryptic and perfect world wipped theyre account servers clean? i cannot access my account or my dads and none of the account info has been changed at all, when we try to login on the client it says "invalid username or password", and on the site it says "sorry, unrecognised username or password"

I stress that NONE of the account info including the account type has changed AT ALL, can anyone find out whats up?

1DeadlySAMURAI · « **Reply #3217 on:** April 27, 2012, 03:48:57 PM »

They discovered that accounts had been hacked in Dec 2010 so they reset everyone's password.
Use the "Forgot your password?" link to make a new one.

flarespire · « **Reply #3218 on:** April 27, 2012, 04:05:27 PM »

yeah, ive done that on both accounts (i share the one i use more with a good old friend so i had to reset his as he was unreachabel (appologised to him for hacking his account and blocked my ip from ever accessing it again) but both accounts are now restored, thank god... (BTW guys dont do what i did, i just paniced there and did what i though was right not for me but for our characters aswell, if that makes any sence)

captain_obvious · « **Reply #3219 on:** May 01, 2012, 08:45:35 AM »

Dev blog #43 is up!

Caitian carrier anyone? I like the look of it but it seems rather pricey at 2000c. I'd also like to see one of the science console slots swapped out for an engineering slot especially seeing how the science side is pretty broken atm.

EDIT

Eeeep! Look at that turn rate :eek
