[STO] Dilithium Tracking 6/20/13

Greetings one and all! By now I hope you've heard about the Dilithium Mine Outpost. I've personally not had a chance to check it out, but it should be an interesting new addition to the game. Looks like we can all read up together, perhaps :) I should also mention I'm debating the value of the By The Day chart. Right now its so cluttered its really hard to glean a whole lot of insight! Reducing it from 8 weeks to 4 weeks, however, doesn't seem to provide enough. I'll be pondering this, but if any of you Excel fiends out there have some advice, I'd love to hear it.

Any now for the charts!

Trading is up, and the Z:D rate is down. Coincidence? Probably not. 1:11* seems relatively agreeable at the moment, and didn't Perfect World just have a sale on Zen through certain payment methods? I need to keep better track of that. Anyhow, in the short term things are looking pretty busy, which I think is good. Since I'm not a level-racer, I'm not sure where the "average" player (if there is such a thing) would be with a new character, but I'm sure the faster ones are already at level 50. As such, maybe we're also seeing more people able to participate in Fleet Events, end-game Task Forces, and the Reputation System. Some folks want the prizes, some folks want the Dilithium!

It'll be a while before we can get a better guess at what's going on, but there's mine for now.

[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.

[STO] Dilithium Tracker 5/9/13

Won't be long until The Legacy of Romulus is upon us. Moreover, Star Trek: Into Darkness is staring down upon us. All in all, I'd say its great month for Star Trek fans. In the meantime, Star Trek Online is continuing on, the economy is still going along, and Neverwinter (now in open beta) is showing a brand new economy as it tries to find its legs.

[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...?
