Quantum Pass

I will be interested to see what the Quantum Pass will cost. If cost is reasonable I will probably bite. The issue will then be whether or not I can generate enough credits to justify purchase on a regular basis.
The following is from recent communication to us in case you missed it.
Quantum Pass (not live yet)
Purchasing the Quantum Pass will allow you to collect 50 Quantum per day, for 10 consecutive days, providing a boost for your Crew Retrieval efforts.
The Quantum Pass will make its debut on Tuesday, February 28, once all players are on 8.2.2.

Nahh, it just must be cheap enough(less than 5 bucks) so that ppl are lured in,
to buy extra credit offers.
EDIT: It is not often that I agree with the "guest" who posted just below, but I do in this instance.
So, call me negative if you want, but thats straight from the horses mouth. They have probably not had the pull from daily dilithium like they wanted, so now they are trying a different methodology. Next "feature" will likely be a quantum market, similar to the dilithium market in the honor hall.
Calling it now, quantum card will be .99 per week.
And they will be hoping that the cheaper availability of quantum will make credits more valuable, and more people will buy the daily credit offer, or other offers that are focussed on credits.
You can go back through all the announcements, and compare that with your own experiences of viewing the "special offers" we have seen in the past year. In my opinion, nearly every decision made since WRG has taken over can be boiled down to attempts at "tweaking the game economy" and finding other ways to milk players real currency.
.99 per week would be a brilliant price point, on the part of WRG. The psychology of 3.99 a month for dilithium and .99 per week for quantum will fool people into focusing on the $5 figure, instead of the 8$ per month figure.
February 28 is a Monday.
I’ll buy the quantum pass on February 29th

I guess you will be waiting until 2024.
So It should be lower then 1,29€ to be profit.
I think you might have those backwards. 🖖
Sure, I have a lot of credits in the bank, but I don't enjoy playing at a net loss of currency. Just not what I do.

$5 or 900 dil.
No way I'm going to pay for that.
I'll keep using my monthly dil.
It's way too expensive compared to the Dilithium Monthly Card.
The events don't give out Quamtum, that is earned over time one every 30 minutes, or bought upto now with Dilithium, now we have the Quantum Pass.
The maths is from my point of view:
* $4 equals to 100 Dilithium on a daily basis, so you invest 90 Dilithium on 50 extra daily Quantum and earn 10 Dilithium daily. That lasts 30 days
* $5*3=$15 = equals to 50 daily Quantum for 10 days*3. That lasts 30 days (10 days*3).
From my point of view it's not worth it.
If I was TP, I would simply make the Quamtum Pass $4/3=$1.33, that way I would buy Dilithium monthly card + Quantum pass. They can even encourage people to buy 5M credits that way!
Way too premium in my opinion.

EDIT: Upon further thought, I would consider buying the quantum pass at that price point (US $4.99) IFF it was for 30 days instead of 10, i.e. concurrent with the monthly card for dilithium.
Yep. Way too expensive. I figured this would be $1.50 because it was a little simpler than buying a monthly card and converting to quantum. But $5 is crazy. That's way too expensive. I'd have to run the math on other DIL conversions to see where they got this, but there is no way I'd ever buy it at this price.
I would wait, I think it will be on sale on Feb 30 for 50% off.....
It would make some sense if it were 900 dil, but since the montly card is way more convenient, the quantum pass is definitively designed to work on top of that.
Still, a lot of money for something that additionally requires a credits purchase anyway

That‘s worth to me, since i m sitting on130m credits and i buy add 50 quantum a day for 90 dil as well.
15 add bucks a month won t hurt me and is less than 2 cinema tickets.
But i get as well that for some folks it just isn t worth. Would have been way smarter if they hade made the pass 30 days for 4,99$
instead of 10 only, imho. 🤗
Yeah, the price point is wrong (too high). I knew that some people did spend a lot on quantum speed ups, but I honestly don’t know what proportion of the playerbase did so (my guess is not a lot). The quantum pass makes sense for them.
But more importantly: people still go to the movie theater?
I don't. Health and transport issues. Dual release like some streaming services are doing is a great thing for those of us who are disabled and have to ride TWO buses to get to the closest theatre. {And then cross a busy six lane street {three each side with a median} where the bus stop is.}
