Then Coughing up 2 Very Rare DOFFs for Tier 4 and Tier 5? That's getting extremely costly, especially when you have to do more projects at higher Tiers.......  |
Like Greed, Nerdrage is eternal, eternally bad.
Show Archon and Borticus how much you would like to see new Doff races!

We have nothing. Nothing but our anger. We will take that spark and start a fire which will become a great conflagration!

If that comes to pass, they will automatically be added to existing unlocks, not put in as additional projects.

For that matter, if they are "unlocked" does this mean that multiples of STF item sets (for bridge officers, for example) will be either easier or harder?
An expensive lesson that one compromised account can undo the hours of work and hundreds of dollars spent in good faith by a fleet.

1) Store Unlocks
This method is used for most consumables and algorithmically-generated items, due to the number of options presented to players. Separating them out as individual projects would have caused far too much UI bloat (which is still an issue under review, but in a far better state than it could've been).
Store Unlocks are all related to the "Store" button on your Reputation UI. Each Reputation has its own separate Store.
2) Direct Rewards
These projects will not auto-clear upon completion, but instead pop up a little "Claim Reward" button that waits for the player to interact. Upon clicking that button, the reward of the project is placed directly into the player's inventory. As an additional feature that was just added, these projects will display the reward as an item that can be hovered over for complete statistical information.

Just how dramatically (old costs vs. new costs), for those who don't have the original Tribble costs handy?

I guess what I'm saying is:
What happens to someone with two Mk XI Omega Sets...? And, under the current build, is it possible to claim two?
If you can outfit all your BOs when hitting max tier in OF at no additional charge, that's a great perk. If you can't claim a set more than once, that's something that could be handy to know now for people who want BOffs to have their own duplicate OF/MACO sets.
