The new active powers are intended to be competitive with existing powers, not specifically better.

Regular C-Store packs.

The chance of getting one of the new purples compared to the existing purples is about 1 in 10.

Different. The Tribble reward was a Tactical Exocomp, this is a straight Exocomp and is more Engineering oriented.

Pretty cool. I have been dismissing officers left and right to make room for the new recruits. This will make things a little easier.

One question, does the Super Rares - Xindi - have their own packs or are they mixed in the regular packs?
Another question ... Can KDF send DOFFs on missions to kidnap those Xindi DOFFs from our fellow players across the zone?

Come on Cryptic, please not another gambling item. I was starting to feel positive about Cryptic again but this gambling approach is really dirty. Especially when you tease us with the pictures of the new doffs, making us think that there would be an in game way of earning them, only to disappoint us with this. I'm actually starting to think that you were better off under Atari. Either have a way of earning them in game, or allow us to just buy them straight up without making us pay to have just a chance to get them.

This is how C-store Doff packs have always worked. They are simply adding the ultra-rare Doffs into the mix of things you can get.

Yeahhh...not gonna waste my time reading these or on these forums anymore. I play games to have fun, not throw money at random number generators and increase the frustration in my life. Bad idea guys, but best of luck to you, for what it's worth.

See ya.

I have my difficulties to believe that.
Something similar has been said about +1 ships... although they ARE specifically better (since they are the EXACT SAME plus MORE).

Also... the jem'hadar bug in question is everything but balanced towards other T5 ships.

So sorry... I dont buy it.

Then dont. You can still play the game the same way without buying a new Doff pack.

That's pretty disappointing, but at least thanks, I guess, for telling us the odds.

The XO-comp for the C-store was a tactical one (at least the 3 I have were) the one listed in the event is a eng one. So it should stack.

Great Stuff! Been looking for an excuse to hunker down and do some serious Doff micromanagement!

Is there any way to differentiate the Doff packs bought from the C-Store and those earned through other means? I know the ones earned through promotion are labelled with ranks.

For those who don't want to punt for the super-rare doffs with c-points, I'm sure it won't be long before people start buying the packs to sell on the exchange.
