[STO] DOFF Investing Experiment.

Based on the article/post I read yesterday on making Energy Credits, I'll be posting an experiment for myself. I took 2 million EC and bought 15 Duty Officer Mini-Packs, leaving me with 25,000 EC. I'll open them all up, and proceed to post them onto the Exchange. Now, I've got 11 existing, salable Duty Officers already, so this won't be exact, but at the same time those DOFFs were free via the Star Fleet Academy recruitment DOFF assignments.
Popping them open, I received:
  • 9 Tactical Officers
  • 2 Security Officers (1 rare!)
  • 5 Engineering Officers
  • 6 Operations Officers
  • 21 Science Officers
  • 5 Medical Officers
  • 12 Civilian Officers

Now, trading in the Rare got me 2 Operations and 1 Science Uncommons. From there, I'm trading my Uncommons into Commons up until I hit my maximum DOFF allotment (100). When I go to post the DOFFs for sale, I will filter by quality, so I'll only see the Commons available to list. When I'm done with that, the remaining Uncommons will be converted into Commons, and then sold.

I did this yesterday, but made a mistake in that I forgot to note my Energy Credits balance to begin with. As such, I don't know how much I made.

[STO] Master Keys without spending a dime.

Cryptic/PWE just unveiled the latest lockbox for Star Trek Online: the Temporal Lock Box . Its time-travel themed, with all sorts of neat ships, consoles, etc., both to be won on random chance and via Lobi. You should really take a look - they're very cool looking . Now, given that Master Keys cost $1.25 each (well, less if you buy 10-packs), you might be hesitant to go after them. You might also be leery of the whole lockbox scheme. And, that's understandable. Goodness knows Pavlovian responses aren't limited to just dogs! So, how to play without paying...?

[STO] PVP as War, PVP as Sport.

In the middle of last year, I read a little on a thread about "Combat as Sport versus Combat as War." It was referencing a very long opinion post for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (currently in development). Intriguing as it was, though, is was concerning a tabletop role-playing game. Could it offer anything worth noting about Star Trek Online's PVP? I think so.

Testing from Word 2013!

Let's see how this works! I've been meaning to do this for a while, as my Surface RT has Office 2013, but not Windows Live Writer. And, frankly, I don't always like using the web interface. I'm debating moving over to Word Press, just so I can learn it better, but we'll see.
