    I mean the answer to why we shouldn't hoard honor will be for WRG to answer, and to do that I think they will be thinking of more incentives to spend it on other things, thats what I would be expecting over the next month or so.

    What if the dabo sale uses honor? At what price point would you buy out the dabo wheel with honor? If 10 dilithium was equal to 10 honor (for dabo only, and for the limited sale only) would you buy out the wheel?

    For me it would really depend on the legendary. For most of them I probably wouldn't, but if it's someone I already had and planned to cite up, a really good card, or one of the few that I desperately want for their art or because I'm a fan of the episode/character, then yes.

    I spend if I have a good reason to.
    Do I need a cite? No. (Sitting on 7 5* and 6 4*)
    Need honor hall crew? Nope, have them.
    Want to try for random new crew? No slots and plenty others to work on.
    So, I'm "hordeing". It's like any other type of currency. I spend if I need to and save if I don't.

    Its especially boggling when, especially once you're not a newer player and have some depth of roster, one of the main (not only by any stretch) functions of both credits and merits is to do crew pulls to turn them in to, you guessed it, honor.

    TP needs to add more stuff for us to spend our honor on. Like what if you could buy event packs with it? Like 10k per pack.

    Even in comparison to a regular honor behold 10k would be far too expensive.

    Idk, I would be willing to pay 10,000 in honor for an event pack if it was crew I really wanted. At least when my dilithium was low I would have another option.

    It seems a fair price to me. 10k honor is about a weeks worth of honor (for me), which is very similar to the rate at which you can earn enough dilithium (with the monthly card) to buy a pack.
    The price may seem high because it offers so little return for someone who's roster is so deep that a event pack or premium pull probably only yields 700-1,000 honor in return. But buying a pack should pay for itself.

    I know I would buy more Tuesday packs or event packs if it had two buttons (buy with 650 dilithium and buy with 10k honor). WRG does need to give us something else to spend honor on if they don't want us to hoard it, and I suspect they will. Tempt me to spend my honor, make it juicy. Lol

    What if you could buy Tuesday packs with them? Or special crew besides the very few Honor Hall crew of which only a couple are worth the price.

    If they opened a marketplace with various portal crew available for purchase with honor, there are some that I would pay for, probably a considerable amount of honor too. This reminds me of the pack vs saving and buying structure that I remember when playing Injustice: Gods Amung Us on mobile. A lot of grinding and saving, but maxing out my favorite variant of Batman was well worth it.
    WRG, I'll give you 300k honor for age of sail Picard, I'll leave it in the table and look the other way.
  • Problem is that the Devs treat all Legendary crew the same. You pay the same amout of Honour for a poor Legendary like Judge Q as you would for a top Legendary like Gary Seven. The amout of Honour should reflect this. So the devs from time to time could offer weaker crew at a cheaper honour price. So Judge Q could be offered at 20,000 honour for the first star and and the price goes up 10,000 for every star you buy.
    On a side note had the Devs added Judge Q to the threashold rewards last week would that not helped the event. Also help the honour Debt as well.

    I agree that an offer is better than no offer. Noone has to buy it in the end.

    I was calculating that on average 8 packs provide one legendary along with like 7000 honor (1000 per pack is rare in my experience, especially if you do not airlock the golds), so overall 73000 honor for one gold plus the chance for useful purples and schems. In comparison to a behold for even 45000 honor (which is insane for anyone who did not just start the game) it still seems overpriced to me. Jm2c

    I would rather buy 10000 honor with 650 dil than the other way around.

    I think the right price is what half are willing to pay and half are not. For those just using dilithium they can still hoard. Others that don’t have dilithium have another option. The price point could be made lower but it should certainly not be made higher. It is true that 10,000 is expensive but it is also a currency I can get just by playing the game, not paying money, so TP would not want to make the price too low.

    Well, after more than 4 years of playing I am in position where I do not need to buy more cites. I reached over 10 hours in all voyage skill combos and all cards I needed for that are immortalized.

    So now I just buy cites for crew I want to immortalize and there is no rush in doing so because none of the cards I have unimmortalized will give me any advantages for spending cites on them.

    I can wait, and hoard more...

    If I get some other great card, maybe I will buy cites immediately, and before Honor sale.
    PlayingSince: 2016-09-16Can we get some more characters from TAS?We finally have Caitians in the game!Character wishlist:
    • Lieutenant M'Ress - got her
    • Amanda Rogers - got her
    • Admiral S'rrel from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - not in the game yet
    • Agmar - not in the game yet
    • M'yra - not in the game yet
  • Seems that the new 180 day time limit of mail prizes is the clearest indication they don't want us to hoard anymore, not just honor.
