    Hmmm, tempting. Now I have to decide if I consider the ship worth the cost of the LTS :confounded:

    It is a destroyer so it sits between the escort and cruiser in play style. It is likely a good pilot will do incredibly well in it. And both the KDF and RR look awesome. The Fed version. Well check out the Chimera that Rom captains. It is okay. But then I am biased to the tos Connie look.
    Is it worth the LTS? No.
    Is playing as a borg worth the LTS? Not really.
    Is the stipend worth it? After a few years it pays for the subscription and begins paying back slowly. If you are like me and once or twice a year you have a wad of cash but may struggle month to month. The LTS is worth not having the monthly sub.
    Is a playable talaxian worth the price? Oh heck no.
    Putting it all together however in a bundle. And you go back to my original statements. Asked often and answer is personal to the individual.
    LTS and pleased with it.

    Any LTS that are unhappy having bought it?
    But that's not the same thing, as if it's worth getting ;)

    Even as a bundle, it's not worth it for me. I don't want a playable Borg or Talaxian. The Zen stipend isn't enough to make a difference in in-game spending. It's a little extra walking-around money, but it's nothing compared to what can be picked up just by playing the exchange (and by 'playing', I mean 'listing stuff and then going away to run missions', not 'sitting in front of the exchange for hours every day refreshing the page to pick up all the low price sales' :tongue: )

    If you're happy with it, and others are happy with it, I'm happy you're happy :sunglasses: But I also know it wouldn't make me happy, so I'll keep spending and supporting in a way which will :sunglasses:

    They could probably get a few more LTS sales if they refreshed the bundle..
    Here's what I would add to sweeten the pot;

    - TOS Holo Bridge officer pack (Scotty, Bones, Uhura, Spock, Sulu, Chekov, Rand)
    - 20 Master Keys
    - 100 000 Refined Dil
    - x1 Costume Voucher for the lobi store
    - x250 Universal Upgrade techs (no dil cost)
    - x25 of each Accelerator
    - x25 of each Crafting material
    - x30 Spec point package
    - A unique LTS Space and Ground Set (Self leveling - something like Aegis set for example - nothing crazy, but something to help you along as a newer player)

    I think they'd get a lot of the fence sitters to make the leap if such additions were made.
    (All older LTS accounts would be get the newer items retroactively - to avoid "forum rage") :tongue:


    Everything on that list is already in game, except the self leveling unique ground and space sets.

    Lifetime subscription is like opening a door. Once you walk through, that fee may very well be just a fraction of what you'll end up spending.

    Well, I'm not fussed about the TOS holoboffs, but the other things, they're definitely a nice sweetener, especially the self-leveling Space and Ground sets :sunglasses: I do like the Aegis set... In fact, it's because of having the Aegis set, that I'm not fussed about getting the Kobali regeneration set, but the Sol Defense Set, with that nanite repair capacitor, that might nudge the Aegis into retirement, when Kek hits those missions :sunglasses:

    Most of that can be gotten elsewhere or already exists so just spend the money there.

    My suggestion would be to take a page from SFDebris
    League of Starship Captains.
    A hologram of Archer, Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway. They generally just pose like an honor role in the captain's ready room. But may be called in as an honour guard. Similar to the romulan honour guards or tac teams.

    Nor should they be. Their ships would look weird.

    Sure it already exists in the game, but not in those quantities as an all-in-one giveaway :sunglasses:

    A pet Janeway to keep in the readyroom would definitely amuse my Orion Slaver, but would scare Kek into thinking he's back at the academy :D:D
