Mudd is opening the doors on a new Choice Pack on August 24th! Purchase the Mudd’s Cruiserweight Choice Pack for 29500 Zen, and choose any three of the above options! But that’s not all - this pack will be 50% off from 8/24 @ 8am PT – 9/7 @ 12pm PT. Choose from the following options:
23rd Century Ship Pack [T6]
Temporal Light Cruiser [T6]
D7 Temporal Battlecruiser [T6]
T’liss Temporal Warbird [T6]
Jem’Hadar Light Battlecruiser [T6]
Walker-class Light Exploration Cruiser [T6]
50x Master Keys
16x Elite Bridge Officer Upgrade Tokens
[300x Pack] Lobi Crystals
10x Ultimate Tech Upgrades
I’m tempted because the D7 is one of the few ships that can have Recursive Shearing and Surgical Strikes, and because one of the first posts that I ever got deleted on Reddit was being excited about the Walker being added to STO - it was before we really knew anything about Discovery, and the post was removed because it wasn’t related to STO. 🤪
I was looking for the firing mode scaling comparison but couldn’t find it. IIRC, like other specialist firing modes, only III is “good.” There’s just too much drop-off going from III to I on surgical strikes – a 40% crit severity and 100% cat1 reduction. I’m fairly sure BO3 will handily outperform SS1.
Still not even a tiny bit tempted. Maybe it’d be fun to play with SS1+RS3 in elite content, but not $150 worth of fun. My resolve might crumble if they do a 75% off sale on this bundle though.
