    It's 3 more than I've ever had, congrats!

    Excluding the freebie packs, I only opened 10 this time around, just enough with the upgrade weekend to MK XIV the weapons on my Klingon and patch up one or 2 other items.

    My goal was to just get the upgrade tokens to be honest. I wasn't counting on a single Epic or UR

    I think I will never have the resources to do this kind of stuff.
    Remember that if you need to upgrade things, buying Phoenix packs is the most cost effective way to do it.

    A Superior upgrade gives 12,800 TP for 1,075 dilithium. That's 11.9 TP per dil, ignoring EC and material costs.
    A Phoenix prize pack costs 40,000 for 10, and if you get all Uncommon that's 10 Phoenix upgrades at 4000 dil each.
    A Phoenix upgrade gives 51,200 TP and as it cost 4000 dil to get it, which works out to 12.8 TP per dil.

    If any of the prize packs gave higher quality than Uncommon, you'd end up with even more TP per dil. While I wouldn't base expected odds on Paul's results (I've personally opened far more than a hundred, and never received an Epic) it's reasonable to assume that only half would be Uncommon.

    (If you bought each one individually (don't do that) it would be 4500 each, for 11.37 TP per dil if you only got Uncommons out of it. You end up essentially paying dilithium to save on EC and material costs, and that's not worth it for most.)

    Thanks for the write up. I heard that before, but now you have convinced me to buy some packs the next time they are available as I don't have the Dilithium right now.
