The Epic Phoenix Prize is RECLAIMABLE!? | Star Trek Online 

Cryptic turning into Opra Winfrey 😂 You get a ship, you get a ship, everybody gets a ship!

Ok, now THAT is generous! DOMINO for everyone!

As a long time player who has bought many things, the amount of Christmas gifts I already owned that were later gifted to everybody, not like I got compensation for that. You shouldn't be expecting compensation for an epic phoenix token you can't use. 😝 But who knows, maybe someone at Cryptic will be nice and put an extra thing in the Phoenix store specifically to let you turn these non-smeltable tokens into a special character bound set of upgrade tokens.

You know, if they didn't want to make the token able to break down, they could easily add something to the epic level. Just add something like a character bound ultimate tech upgrade that binds the item to you.

That should give a lot of players a nice big upgrade. I've already got Cold-Hearted and Domino on every toon, but it sure would've been nice to save half a dozen epic pheonix prize tokens via a reclaimable one back when I was starting out.

I'm extremely surprised, & if it holds true, extremely thankful to Cryptic for this Phoenix Epic Token offer. It doesn't address that the Phoenix Epic tier is mostly just really old ships, but overall this is a generous positive to the players. I'm okay that the shuttle pets are within a ship device. I'm a bit disappointed in the torpedo's description. lol I'm reading Stu1701's statement about Kael's "goofs" never this big as a challenge

I feel like Embracer is having a fire sale. I'm half expecting 2 things to happen simultaneously: 1- a "going out of business" giveaway on pretty much anything they can code to give, and 2 - Oprah to show up declaring "You get a ship, You get a ship, etc"

I've never done the previous winter events to get the ships since you could only do the "fastest game on ice" to claim the ship. Now I can do my Breen themed ship. I'm guessing they wanted to unlock all of the Breen ships with them being the main villain in S5 of Discovery.

Well hot damn... I guess all my characters will be able to get the Nandi. It's the only event ship I missed. 🥳 Not that any of them will probably ever use it but it's nice to know it's there if I want it.

Making pheonix ships account unlockaable is probably hard to do soo unlock on each character is soo generous of them means you can barbie them to each character

67 Epic Prize Tokens...

Oh now this is great news! Now I will DEF be able to snag a DOMINO for my main. Thanks for the update Stu!!

I was kinda surprised at first that the Type 14 Shuttles weren't hangar pets, but I suppose it kind of makes sense - none of the Star Trek: Picard Starfleet ships in-game (not counting the ones that originated from STO, obviously) have a hangar slot, so having it as a distress beacon allows people to use it for theme-builds on the Sagan, Duderstadt, etc. without the need for new versions of the ships with that hangar slot.

Well i just unlocked all of this yesterday. and here is my quick review. The epic token, is kind of nice. though not really necessary. it's better for newer player or ones who missed some of these unlicks. (like i did) The torpedo is okay, but not great. The proc is 33% chance, and the drain may not be that great but the shield drain may be helpful for some builds. If you only have a spot for 1 torpedo then The Maelstrom's win this by far. Their base damage is over 1.5 time what this puts, out but their ability to store 3 charges is what makes them shine. (while I don't have the legendary to test the trifluoride hits way harder and for most ships will work better than this torp.) I think the big advantage of this is that it is a quantum torpedo. My torpedo boat has been equipped for rainbow torps for years, but with this I think I can finally focus on quantum only. which will give me a bit of a damage boost. Replacing my gravimetric torpedo which seems to be getting me killed more than helping as of late. The beacon is actually quite good, but I think I need to clarify. Sure they may not hit all that hard, but they have 2-3 advantages. 1) They are a support beacon, so they can be used any time. This may seem obvious, but the cooldown on support beacons is 5 min, but they shared cooldown on support beacons is 2 min. What this means is that if you have a total of 3 beacons you can use a beacon like any other console, which is how I recommend using them. With 3 support beacons you can easily maintain keeping free support pets out 50% of the time. And since they have no cost to your build I highly recommend this. 2) like the nimbus fleet these are able to heal you, only rather than having one ship out of three, any of these can heal you. So they are like a decent team heal, at no cost since they take up inventory and not a console or device slot. 3) This one needs more testing, but like the phased-waveform beacon this summons a large number of small craft, and I believe they count towards your total number of pets. meaning I believe this will help buff consoles like the one from the Hydra. They also seem to receive buffs from anything that buffs pets, Such as the Ahwahnee abilities, or pet consoles.ee

I've been playing since 2018, and I've never once pulled a single epic phoenix token, so I am looking forward to this if only to see some of the ships that came out before I started playing

YES! so many possibility's for us console players!

If they'd add a few new ships to the epic token store that would make it useful to everyone. I'm thinking something gold...

Nice I needed this only thing left to get for my ship build

I see it as the Devs see a disparity between old and new players which this is a first step toward addressing it. The token RNG is so ridiculously skewed against new players that I suspect phoenix box demand has leveled off. Yes, putting new items in the box would be great but would only be a shorter term fix.

I would just like to be able to equip any weapon as an inventory item to get its proc as a cosmetic, or have cosmetic slots for weapon hardpoints. Or make it function as a console with a 1 or 2 minute cooldown. Or allow in-battle quick swapping of weapons in your inventory for ships that don't have cloak/intel shenans the way certain ship types change flight modes. Give people ten slots for torps that can be in the ships hardpoint rotation at any time with 30 sec cooldowns if replaced.

Depending on the stats the Hypermass Torpedo may not even be useful for new characters for most people: the Prolonged Engagement Torpedo is its most likely competitor in that slot and most people should have that whole set on account unlock from the Phoenix Store. This torp needs an actual advantage against its counterpart to be useful and it does not sound like it has one.

What a great way to offer newer players, older event ships, without breaking the token store, and still requiring an event completion to earn them.

I mean it will be nice for vets in case they ever add more ships to the epic pool

I wish they would add some other things to the epic section. I already have all the ships 😢

"They did" 😂 Seriously though, I was good with getting one free epic token. But now, Bajoran Interceptor for all of my characters! Woohoo!

hopefully they add a few new ships to it as well my friend doesnt have the khitomer and wants it

It sounds like this is also an event where you can play through the mission on multiple toons on day 1 and then pick a toon each day for turn in for the reward credit?

Feel like I may have influenced this one ten forward weekly I commented perhaps next year you can add epic Phoenix to the prize pic he did read my comment and said that is quite possible of a idea

As far as I know, the token cannot be traded in for UR tokens, so if you can't get a ship, you don't really get anything out of this token unlock.

It would be nice if they put more stuff in the epic level for those of us that have all the ships. Remind me, when they do the phoenix event thing do they still have a T6X upgrade token for 1 epic token? or is the lowest 1 for 5 ultra rare?

they were probably like "oh shit" when they realized that massive goof

They should have allowed the Epic Token to be broken down but still "bound to character". I'm the same as STU here, I already have all the ship in the Token on my main account.

neat. I got two and still dunno what to spend em on

Make all ships account wide. Lots of games have account wide main items like that. Step up.

2 EPIC Tokens then:) or when you have lets say 30 lvl 65s you get 30 Tokens in total

Will the lobi crystals be single character lock thought?

I forget exactly how many characters i have in STO, i do know that ive reclaimed that phenix token on half of them... And its still sitting in the bank. Why? Because there arent any Phoenix box ships that i want. Id rather be able to conver them all into upgrade tokens. But thr deves saw fit to prevent that. Ao the useless tokens just sit in the bank of my characters.

Not interested in the torp or shuttle summon the reclaimable token and 500 Lobi I'm highly interested in

What?! This is how you do an event if you want to get people to play. Now they just need to add some new ships to the prize pack rather than putting them in Mudds.

account wide mine builds bby! and also the good ol' Domino, but still MINES! MINES FOR EVERYONE WITH THE VORGON!

So will they be adding new ships to the Phenoix store? I have one sitting and I really don’t want anything in there lol.

I wouldn't count on this actually being the case...

Zan gets his new ship Everyone else gets a DOMINO

I get "device is more universally useable then having them as pets" but yeah would had love for them to BE pets

Can u claim this token now ?

Hmm... 11 epic phoenix price tokens...

DOMINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And you get a ship you get a ship and you get a ship everyone gets a ship

The epic tokens cant be broken down into other tokens.

You can not break down the new token 😢

Wait, so this means i can reclaim this token once on each of my toons that are level 65 on this game, am i reading this right?

Bro. BRO! *BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!*

the 14s are a device.

that reclaimable might only mean that if u deleted it u can get it back........wont believe that u can reclaim it over and over

Token=YES! Torpedo= Very disappointed. Not the EPG friendly I was looking for.

if i can't downgrade it we need some more stuff in the phoenix store or its pointless for many players.

I wonder, as a percentage of the active player base, roughly what percentage of players do folks think have every event ship, currently in the pheonix store? I'd be shocked if it was close to double digits. so maybe we can just smile, and be happy for the vast majority of players who will get something from the tokens, without any 'what about me' isms? the addition of the token takes absolutely nothing away from those who dont need it, and gives absolutely nothing extra to those that can. Ha, reminds me of the old anniversary chorus, when folk already had a giveaway uniform 😅 even when a particular reward, or event, is of no value to us, it always encourages an extra investment of time, and often resources, from those to whom it is, which in turn fills the queues, buffs overall player engagement, and fattens the playerbase, which is always good for us. be happy, that others are happy, and that even during trying times, the game still has the legs to stand, and the desire to run. LLAP

Nope. The reward epic token will NOT be downgradable. Unless they add ships, its useless to those who already have everything unlocked. EDIT: I should learn to post after watching the whole video lol

I think this is another case of "We didn't mean what we wrote." As usual, they reserve the right to not do anything they say that they would do. Don't count your epic tokens before they hatch.
