Really liking the new overlapping offers

Commander Sinclair

I think this is nice, and gives us more choices, especially between various levels of where you are in the game.

The unexpected double LTO Kira is nice too. I won't buy both of them, but it is very cool to get the choice. I hope they keep this up!

Agreed, I hope having multiple Tuesday character offers like this becomes the norm. (At least for characters with a fair number of legendary options.)

+1 to appreciating the choices. I didn’t really want to burn a slot on Queen Guinevere Kira but I was happy to add a star to my Mirror Kira. I’m also honestly excited to see who we’ll get in future weeks if this becomes a trend.

I didn't buy either, but I love the idea. Hopefully we'll see this more!

TP do better!! ~Colli~ (PoF)

I was also trying to point out all the overlaps in the various offers last week as well. A couple were decent, some not so good or average, but they were consistently ongoing. That's what I appreciate most, as long as they keep it going.

I didn't buy either one but I love the chance to buy 2 different. I hope they keep this up and have 2 offers on more than just tuesday offers

The push notifications and having to click through the various offers each and every time I load the game are starting to annoy me. Good offers but I don't need to be bashed around the head with them.

Fully support this.
It's definitely nice to have the choice too bad CMR Kira wasn't on offer my 4/5 would have liked to be made complete.

Not really tempted to take Guinevere up to 2/5 and I'm still debating the worth of taking the intendant up to 4/5 I may bite on the latter one tho.

I'm on the fence with these. While the options are nice, the non-stop offers are giving paying players a lot more resources, further widening the gap between big spenders and F2P players / new players - which makes me (very slightly) worry about the long-term impact on the health of the game.

I thought the same with the Honor Haul in January - great for people with hundreds of thousands of honor (like me!) but leaves those without, those whose every 50K of hard-earned honor can be and must be spent to make an immediate, meaningful impact on their crew roster, even further behind.

So overall, I'm not anti- or pro- this new offer system. But it would be nice to see some changes made to help newer players (yeah yeah, now they can spend $10 on a single legendary star, twice at once! ).

That gap shrunk long ago with the introduction of ways of obtaining dilithium w/o paying (achievements/rank rewards) and allowed many of the f2p players to obtain the biggest gap shrinking mechanism there is ... the 3rd and 4th shuttles.

The gap is smaller than ever, imo.

There will always be a gap between F2P/new players and paying players. WRG has to keep the lights on and the servers running, plus make up those millions of dollars that Tilting Point injected into the studio so that's just the nature of the system.

This. I'm happy to see the variety, but I don't need multiple pop-ups every time I log into the game. If I haven't bough the offer the first 5 times I saw it, I probably won't buy it the next 5 either. I certainly don't need a popup for EACH offer every time I login.

I dropped in to say this too. I like multiple offers, but if they could make a way so we can just close it once after we've seen them, then I will be a little happier. If that's not a possibility, then please leave it and I'll deal.

I also dropped in to say this. One fullscreen pop-up, for each new offer, is plenty. I can click/tap the blue banner if I want to see them again.

The game resets so often now that this has become quite annoying (for me). If there are two offers, a DYC offer, and an ongoing event, all at the same time, then that's four times you have to exit the pop-up, everytime the game reloads.

I bought mirror kira as I needed stars on her.

I would do Her Majesty, since I do not have her, for the DYC, then get an extra 🌟 towards finishing Super Nintendo Kira. Plus, both offers would be 1200 Accolades, and I lost like two weeks of Campaign......

Not only a good Offer format, but two that I would go for.......

It's a little irritating, but not nearly as irritating as having five commercial breaks in one ten minute YouTube video irritating.......

If you scroll with the Arrow, you only get one pop up. So that shortens it a smidge, at least.

Just hit the little Arrow to scroll to the second Offer. Then you will not get a second separate Pop Up.......

Let's be honest, to have players around to play free, makes that others have to pay the costs. Like this the players that don't want to spent "that much money" have an opportunity to get some of the crew full tier.
There will never be a systems to support everyone whole hartedly. So in the end all the people that are spending the money are giving others the chance to play for free.

I bought both of the offers and hope they continue.

Cuttysark

I too find the multiple 'pop-ups' a little irritating. But, to be honest, that's the way it is now and will continue to be. Each day I look at the pitches like a well-behaved player, especially the $9.99 ones, but have never bought one yet. I just can't see spending cash on a tier 6-10 rated card. I find that throwing that $10 into the Campaign upgrade is a far more fruitful use of my money.

I like the functionality. I passed on both offers. 🖖

I was watching a voyage, waiting to recall, and got bounced out. By the time I restarted, got through the boot up, closed the offers, and got back to my voyage, I had NINE antimatter left. Had about 77 when the game closed. Had something similar happen last week, plus a recall button that wouldn't register my tapping, so I had to spend dilithium to resupply it.
