A free set is just what my poverty-stricken alts need. Tetryon though?

A free set is just what my poverty-stricken alts need. Tetryon though?

Free is always a good price if you have the time to spare to run the event. That said, we probably won't know how useful this set will be until it gets into player hands, as we don't have any math in the blog to go on.

In general Tetryon isn't terribly popular as an energy flavor because there isn't a lot of good Tetryon boosting consoles or other goodies, and the default drain proc is weak in the current state of the game. With the Tholians getting some attention in game again, that may be changing, but it is too early to know for sure.

Unless you are chasing the top of dps charts, any energy flavor can be more than capable of handling any game content, including Tetryon.

A free set is just what my poverty-stricken alts need. Tetryon though?

Tetryon definitely wouldn't be my first choice either.

But free sets for new alts are indeed always welcome. Especially when they can jump straight into the early game with T6 ships and a plethora of cool space & ground stuff from events/store/etc. Just a shame that although they can benefit from the T6-X aspect of ships, new alts take too long to unlock space traits on ships.

[Stormy]

Will I get ther set? Yes.

Will I use the set? Doubtful but it's possible I'll use a piece or two.

Then, there should be another event after that and be part of the event campaign, just before the regular summer event.

[Raz Beraht]

They're trying to exhaust me with nonsense grinds.

[Jestersmith]

The character screen

[Petrarch]

It's awful.

[Jestersmith]

I am undecided

[Brunocsf]

It's awful.

I thought my game was glitched and my character was just floating through space.
Truly it's a very mediocre backscreen.

[T'Tan]

It is awful indeed.

Even worse with the greenish glow for Romulans.
