Dilithium: The Final Frontier

Ivanstone

This is the voyage of the starship Ivanprise. Its five-day mission: to explore strange new dilemmas; to seek out Colonel Worf and new Guinans; to boldly go where no Ivan has gone before.



Let me just say that saving ~4 months of monthly card dilithium is really boring but let's hope I get fat loot out of this.

PS Picard and McCoy better be in game.

Hungry Dog DDM

Good luck. I'm saving right now for this.

I just did a 28 hour voyage... right before the crew slot sale was announced. Oh, well.

I wish you the best of luck.

As if McCoy could beat Locutus in in a Kotra match, GTFO

Here is hoping you don't run into even routine engineering problems!

Ivanstone

And I just got stuck at 12 hours. First time that happened.

Fortunately, Iampicard's STT Tool to the rescue.

So far only one rare dilemma which had nothing special attached to it (Outstretched Talons, choice A).

Good luck Ivanstone and remember to tell us which dilemmas do the drops, after you've got first to max, naturally.

So really, is it safe to give your login details to that iampicard thing?

sorinev

The source is available online, so you can see that it doesn't save the actual login details. If I remember it right, it sends them right to DB, gets the response it needs to proceed, and then forgets them. At best it remembers the access token locally, but it's not sent to anyone but DB.

Stuck Dilemma #2. Part 1 Champion of the People.

I didn't want turn this into an error log.

Even if someone told me it was safe, I still wouldn't do it... my 2 cents

Capt. Chaos

I can't bear to send out my own voyages anymore without the tool.

Ivanstone

Stuck Dilemma #3 (8th Dilemma overall). The Tools at Hand. Chose Part B.

Received CMO Ogawa. This is the first two part Dilemma I've finished. I chose Part A for Retrofit. I do not know if Part B of Retrofit will lead to Picard or McCoy.

The ninth Dilemma will be the first one that will not require a dilithium refresh between Dilemmas. We'll see if it goes off fine.

Emmett K

I picked the right option of retrofit plus the second option that went with it. Was ship schematics.

Ivanstone

Ninth Dilemma. No error. First Super Rare Dilemma: Blood Red Tide. Chose Option B. No Picard or McCoy although this is a stand alone.

I run the game normally on my Iphone SE. When I get home tonight I'll try running the game on Steam to see if there's any problems related to the IOS version.

One thing I've noticed a few times is that there are few log errors here and there. After a Hazard you normally expect to see 3 Activities followed by another Hazard. A few times in the log I've seen back to back Hazards with no Activities appearing in between. 3 Activities are normally around 90s and it looks like 90s have passed between these double Hazards but its hard to tell. I haven't gotten any notable drops from these "ghost" activities.

Is the new voyage update active? It may not take effect until 9/11/18. I hope you didn't burn up too many resources if that's the case.

sorinev

They aren't mentioned in the 6.0.0 notes, one way or another. So given that there was an announcement on their stats and existence, with no date attached to it (in terms of release), I would assume that defaults to them being available upon announcement.

So yeah, some clarification would be helpful.

Ivanstone

Tenth Dilemma froze on me. It seems that extending your Voyage with Dilithium may cause your Voyage to freeze! I extended around 18:15. This warms my dirty socialist heart.

The Cost of Living. Choice A. Received Duchamps.

Ivanstone

Eleventh Dilemma worked. Sort of. Next Stop Absolution.

I got the loot but no message in the log stating what I got or the results.

Zetterbeard

How much honor are you up to?

That happened to me last night. It showed up in the log this morning after a restart.

After 12 dilemmas (last one worked!), I have 931 Honour, 6x 4*, 2x3*, 7x2*, 1x1* Crew. No Voyage only crew or any that I actually need yet.

Mr. Lincoln

So any followup on this?

Ivanstone

13th/14th Dilemma's didn't freeze on me. Both common, nothing noteworthy.

Frank?

You aren't alone, I am embarking on the long voyage right next to you.

So far, I'm at 13 dilemmas with neither of the two new guys, but I've also had no 'part 1' choices yet either.

Forward and onward...

Prime Lorca

If you guys don't get the new crew, I'd say that a serious CS ticket is in order. That's a lot of dilithium. I hope you get them though.

Frank?

Nah, it's all good. For science!

Secretly I just don't like having crew out there that I don't own. The quicker I get these guys into the freezer, the happier I will be.

I'll probably send them a ticket regardless. This adventure hasn't been bug free. Its hard to say how we get the new crew and I'm less inclined to experiment. I originally planned this to get Worf and Guinan. That I can get now get an additional Jannar, Lucien and The Clown is just gravy. If the new crew require alternative dilemma paths than those 5 crew than I probably won't get them.

It also helps that the portal was updated recently. Maybe I'll get something I need.

Have you bagged Trelane yet?

15th Dilemma. Ladders and Chains. Choice A. This failed to log correctly. Unlike other log failures, this wasn't viewable in the Voyage Tool. I did get the Honour and Best Selling Author Jake.

Ivanstone

16th Dilemma. Profit in the Wind. Choice A. Logged correctly this time.
