Correct. The Merchantman is an original freighter in Star Trek. As is the Tuffli. I'm merely suggesting that I would enjoy the skin/costume of this Merchantman as an alternate costume option for the Tuffli. Rather than offering both as separate freighters. They needn't have interchangeable parts. Just swap out the costume entirely.

Before fully decked out Starfleet starships were offered in the C-Store, they sold inexpensive starship costumes. Imperial and Nimbus class, as examples. Which, at this point, really should be sold through the GPL store.

Oh yay another lottery just what I wanted!!!! *End sarcasm*. Well that seals it, with the Zen BS and now another lottery disguised as a doff pack, no more money from me goes into this game, I'm changing to to silver account...

Show me the ultra rare Doffs they are putting in these packs and I might want to pick a few up. I wonder if the Freighter will be as rare as the past lockbox ships. I hope not, it would be cool if it sold for less then 40 Mil EC on the exchange.

You couldnt even come up with a new design?

Really? The same old, boring, butt ugly freighter design we already have? And the KDF gets the exact same ship?

Well, Im not really surprised.

Excellent work with the new doff pack! This should be how one adds random packs to the game.

Way better than lockboxes.

All we need now are Ferengii Requisition Orders containing Ferengi doffs, consumables and random chance of everything you wanted to scam us with the lockboxes in there, I can call Cryptic safely redeemed... for now. :p

Tuffly Freighter stats are totally OP*! [/PvP Autopilot]

I am looking forward to videos from mancom (fakehilbert) showing off his 15:3 wins in a Freighter. :p

  1. Story-Wise: Seriously, basic Freighters have Transwarp to all exploration sectors but Starfleet and KDF vessels don't have?
  2. Ship Comparison: 25th Century Freighters are more powerful than the TOS Constitution! That's a nasty blow to the Connie Fans!
  3. DOFF Addict: Seems like P2W (pay-for-advantage) for DOFFing.
  4. Beats lockboxes, you actually get something useful out of it when you don't get the uber ship!
I used to be called MustrumRidcully, but then I got a dyslexic to my knee. I'll fix the signature pic later Insights into STO that should be assembled together

The golden rule in pvp appears to be "hire three guys to join the other side and quit"

With the early forum fiasco this seems like a bit of a stick and carrot approach. Although the forum call was all PWE.

I don't know. I liked the change over with the gamma cadres, and I'm going to need some Federation flight deck officers anyway, but seeing as I'm much disinclined to turn over any more information to PWE than I already have been forced to, and buying Cryptic points therefor being out of the question for the foreseeable future, I may just have to give it a few days and see what the Exchange does.

You can set up your game in Steam by starting the STO download, then pausing it and copy-pasting your install directory into the SteamApps folder. If you launch the game from within Steam, clicking the "Buy CPoints" button on the ingame CStore brings up the Steam Wallet(which you can pre-charge with a specific amount of money) and continues to sell CPoints in the old amounts for the old prices and in the old currencies.

This will doubtless change eventually, but for the moment it offers a way to put a reasonably responsible retailer between your credit card info and PWE.
