Do you think we might be able to give the worker drones a break? I understand the desire to consume, but maybe we should be Thankful for what we have and, maybe, feeling generous toward others.
Sigh, I know, too sermonizing....
No, they’ve set up and opened shop today (event is running), so I expect some staff to be available as required.
If they want to have more holidays for their staff, they need to put a closed for holidays sign up, lock up the doors and pull down the shutters. Which i’d be fine with.
Edit - not long after posting I can see Shan is in and has posted next week’s event, thank you! Should we expect any special deals/offers today?
Well, elusive treasure packs don't exactly happen every day. And since the dil pack is available all week, that might be considered a black friday "week" deal. This is also the first time it guaranteed a legendary.
Could be, but it’s probably a bit expensive for a lot of people. Surprised there are no smaller deals along with it.
No giveaways either, which many games do over Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
Yep, this has been DB's history for Thanksgiving. Run an event, no giveaways, no sale on small items, just $50 offers and an expectation you'll be happy with it. Entice the whales, and don't let anyone else get in the way from squeezing every last cent out of the license.
Maybe they'll throw us a bone with half price dabo on Monday.
Well hurry up you fools. My wife is talking like 6 stores in about an hour. You want me to buy a huge $100 STT gift pack or do you want me to waste my money on another TV I don’t need?

Since this thread was made yesterday and nobody on DB's side responded to it, I'm assuming that they had nothing planned.

They do. This Tilting Point has shown they jump at any money making opportunity. They will not fail to do so on the biggest money making day of the year. They just shouldn’t wait much longer. My kid has her first birthday and first Xmas coming. If they don’t put up an offer before we leave for the madness I’ll have nothing left for STT.
I think I'm more disappointed that we didn't get a response of any kind.
We still haven't gotten a response to the AND bug issue. Do you really expect them to tell you what sale is coming later? If they announce a sale for Monday now, no one will but anything at full price this weekend.
I suspect DB allied with my wife. She always wants me to spend less... So I was saving money to spend them on Black Friday. And that day is now and there is nothing to spend them on.
...well she is always right.

I suppose the only course of action is to spend that money on your wife lol. She would certainly appreciate it more than DB.

I'd wouldn't wish that on you. The last time anyone partner with DB, they gave DB $29,000,000.
In the end, DB always gets paid.
My 8-Point STT Strategy:
1. Voyage.
2. Have fun. If something isn't fun, don't do it.
3. Only pursue characters I care about.
4. Contribute to the fleet.
5. No more spending beyond monthly cards.
6. Have fun.
7. Voyage.
8. Have fun!

That or we’ll be on the Tilting Point forums soon when DB can’t pay them back and they own the game. No one gives $29M without expectations.
Black Friday deals were pretty much the Elusive Treasure offer they put out every Thanksgiving week. They've never put out anything else. They may have discounted crew slots last year, i can't remember.

I positively remember one Black Friday in the past (not sure if 2016 or 2017), when there was "Black Friday" associated sale in STT.
PS: I suppose it was the Black Friday 11/25/2016 since I remember Fidel Castro died that day (Just imagine - he spent his whole life fighting capitalism, and then died on the Black Friday - the biggest capitalist feast... but that's a little bit off-topic)

Does DB gives anything for christmas? I don't remember getting anything from games for thanksgiving (but i'm mainly a pc player, so ymmv) but usually games shower us with free stuff in December.

I believe they gave us a Merry Man Worf
At 1/5? Damn. I've been really spoiled by other games because i would find that really disappointing lol.
National pizza chains let you build your own pizza online: want extra cheese? Do it! Want double pepperoni but all one one side? no problem!
I think it would be tremendous if we got "some kind of" build your own STT offer. Have DB set the base prices for everything - like set 5x crew slots at $X, 10x 10 premium packs at $Y, chronitons at $Z, dilithium at $A, credits at $B, etc, and just let us pick what we want to build our own Cyber Monday offers. The prices would be automatically calculated based on what was selected, and they could even set limits on how many times each individual choice can be selected.

That was the improved second year offer. I don't remember any freebie in 2016. And the half priced dabo felt like the after thought when someone realized maybe they needed something not targeted at whales.

I’m never in crew slot danger so I guess I didn’t even notice those stocking stuffers. And half price Dabo is the equivalent to coal
