I think one of the rewards in the new Nightwave system outright is slots... haven’t tried it though, so I can’t confirm.

It is.

[spazyak]

That sounds really cool. I know what my goal is now.

[Zangi]

So right, since I am still with my starting warframe and don't really expect to get another any time soon, good idea to throw 20 plat for the mod upgrade thing?

The Orokin Reactor? Maybe. It helps a lot, but you need to be aware it's a one time deal (also there might be one for grabs due to devstream?)

It's not that hard to get a second warframe, though. Rhino is on Venus, as stated earlier (just don't use him as a crutch) or Gara, who is amazing, and can be built only with early Cetus stuff.

[Folly]

In general, it's prudent to save Orokin Reactors for Primed frames, or new frames who are not likely to get a primed variant any time soon.
But if you like your current frame and don't expect to get primes any time soon, then yeah, unlocking it's full potential is a significant power boost.

If you have the mods to fill it. If you just started, you may not, and even if you do, they may not be all that great. I would save your plat, honestly. If you need a new frame, I believe pretty much every boss except for Vor on mercury drops parts, so just plow your way to another boss and have at em.

My rule of thumb starting out was always: plat is for slots. If you're not buying yourself a nice chunk of plat, it's a pretty inefficient use of them to spend them on Catalysts and Reactors.

Although maybe with this new thing, they won't be like the only premium thing you can't grind out in game anymore.

Don't buy what you can easily farm! Nightwave offers you a guaranteed Orokin Reactor in the shop (can purchase it with Creds).
Don't put a Reactor in your starting frame. Ew! Build something decent.

Spend plat on slots early on. That's an investment you won't ever regret.

No. There are plenty of easy ways to get potatoes (including the new nightwave system and devstream rewards), save your plat for slots. Don't start dropping potatoes and forma until you've played enough stuff to get a better idea of what you enjoy.

Don't put a Reactor in your starting frame. Ew! Build something decent.

Excalibur is a starter frame, and is an absolute monster that can carry you through the star chart and beyond. He is overshadowed now by Umbra (heh), but that is some distance away for a newb, and he comes with a reactor already installed. Dropping your first gold potato on Excalibur is not a bad decision.

I don't really understand these 10x relic Lotus Gift events.

It's a sort of unvault for Saryn

If only there were some sort of way to guarantee relic rewards for solo players.  If I had a plat for every time I got a bronze drop from a radiant relic, I just just buy the damn prime access and excise myself from this dumb system.

I kinda preferred when Lotus Gifts were consistently gold/blue potatoes.  Now its rivens I either can't use or can't be assed to build the weapon for, or relics that have a massive chance to contain nothing of note.  Potates were always useful.

[Shooer]

Seeing as I have two of each and at least 6 blueprints for each.  I'm fine with them cycling in rewards other than potatoes.
