Lack of interest in Special Offers.
One wise man once said: the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Seriously DB, honorable pursuit a third time in a row!?!
Didn’t buy it the first two times and won’t buy it this time again. Just stop it already. Never bought:
- Honors
- dil overload
- Ship schems
However bought 10 for 10 EVERY SINGLE TIME you offered. Yet, I haven’t seen it for over 2 months now. Don’t want my money DB?
Yeah, insanity. Keep offering me the stuff I never bought since I started playing. You’ll get a different result eventually.
Please keep title relevant, thank you. - Title edited by Shan

It is frustrating when you get rubbish like sail the starry skies popping up though...
I guess somebody out there keeps buying these bad deals, so they keep offering them. But the rest of us will just keep shaking our heads every Monday and wonder why they are bothering us with such nonsense.
So in the case of my own finances, the 10 x 10 being rare actually means DB gets more of my money. Not sure if I'm typical, but there's a possible explanation for it being decent business sense on their side.
On the other hand, some jerk rudely kicked me out of 3rd place in the event and I need a cookie.
Ouch, harsh.
Wonder who doesn't like you in DB land lol
I dont know. I have gotten $99 offer of some sort for 3 weeks. I would by a 10 for 10, but currently do not see the point or have enough for any $99 offer.
Immortalized: 140 x 5*, 221 x 4*, 74 x 3*, 47 x 2*, 27 x 1*
It’s been a while for me as well. I would love to get it now that the portal has been updated but instead I'm stuck with the gods-awful $49.99 schematics pack. I would rather set a $50 bill on fire in my sink than take one ship I have little use for from level 7 to level 8 (or maybe 9) and have a bunch of replicator fuel on the side.
Got this one. Same as last week and I bought it again. Got three 5* beholds and a bunch of useful 4*.
Went with Katrine.
Quickly took Romulan Data. I was really happy about this one. Hoping to max him before the mega starts.
Almost went with The Keeper, but I didn't really need him so I took the second star on McCoy.

I have been playing for well over a year now and I have no problem spending money on this game however I have never spent more then $10 at any one time.
I don't think the special offers are targeted... they are simply random. I am not sure targeted offers is a good thing anyways... ( there is a part of me that feels that that would be sort of predatory)
If I would have gotten the 10 for 10 deal, I would have bought it .. no doubt. I got a $20 dilithium offer that I was not interested in and wouldn't have bought even if I had $20 in my account. But I don't have a problem waiting until I do get an offer that I want.
+1 @Etienne . You said almost exactly what I think. 🖖🏻
I couldn’t help but think of these words of wisdom from Jayne Cobb:
“Far as I see it, you people been given the shortest end of the stick ever been offered a human soul in this crap-hill 'verse....But you took that end...and, well, you took it. And that's... well, I guess that's something.”
How often can you buy that?
As I've said elsewhere the offer I'd like to see is simply crew slots as without more of them I can't make much use of any other offers anyhow.
The timing is the same for everyone, but the offered deals are probably up to some mixture of RNG and the recent number of dollars you've spent on the game. Underwear selection and current velocity of wind may also apply.
There are also deals where everyone is offered the same deal at the same time, but these are special occasions.
I wouldn’t say special occasions. I’d say “Thursdays”.
but when they start giving 15 packs for $25 , or 30 packs for $50, they are DECREASING the value to the player / customer. it should INCREASE.
offer something like 30 packs for $25, and see how many buyers you get!
