We've been doing a tremendously good job at getting over the Dilithium Wall lately. You've all been awesome!
I'm making this post to get your ideas for how we might get over the OTHER wall - the Energy Credit Wall.
For starters, I've got two ideas (well, sort of three)
First, we could use the EC in the Bank in one of two ways... we could simply withdraw it all and use it to buy commodities at the cheapest possible price, which would mean going through Ryvaken (our resident Ferengi) to take advantage of his EC store discount. That'd be the simplest way.
Or, we could use the EC in the Bank as an incentive for donations, in a manner similar to the previous Zen contests - with the understanding that whoever wins would then use that EC to buy commodities and earn all of those Fleet Credits.
Second, stay with me now... we could run Ground STFEs. These now reward Plekton particles, and are the ONLY source for Plekton particles. As Crafting takes off and people will want the elite gear that's available, Plekton particles will come into high demand. In theory, those particles should leap up into the millions of EC. If we ran this as a fleet a few times in a night, we could (again, theoretically), earn several million EC in a night (while also earning dilithium, Omega marks, and probably accolades for at least a few of us).
Does anyone else have any other schemes in mind to earn massive amounts of EC to get over this wall? Let's hear it!
