I belive there are some things that should be in the Cstore that would not only sell well but players would get quite some enjoyment out of them. here are just some of my ideas. (see link)
[Let me know what you guys think.
As far as the maquis i know some smart alic will say BuT ThErE GoNe NoW BlA however the pips would still be cool like a new federation defense force or something.

I'd note though that those are exactly the kind of things that should be in the C-Store, fluff items with no impact on game play.
See, Cryptic already has you trained to think if you want something new, you're going to have to pay for it.
DONT give in. These items would be nice additions. We already pay $15 a month to play. Tell me, what have we gotten new in the game the past month for that $15? Don't say server maintenance. That doesn't cover all subscribers money.
You are correct sir.
2 Remastered episodes, which are awesome (Diplomatic Orders, Doomsday Machine) with 3 new rewards (1 for KDF).
6 New reward items delivered via the Featured Series replay weeks, including a new ship equipment set, personal shield & combat pet.
...I do absolutely agree with what you're saying, though. They only seem to be pumping out more and more items with the C-store in mind. Even the DOFF system is starting to look like just another way they can make more money on the C-store. It's getting extremely old, and gives the game pretty bad publicity and word of mouth advertisement, despite the game's numerous improvements. If they want to keep on this path: Go F2P. I'd complain alot less if they adopted a business model like CO's.
Not really sure that supporting the c-store does much else other than supporting more c-store items being developed. The hype is that it supports the game. But I've not really seen the results back that up.
Aye, I seem to recall Stahl mentioning how the C-store is somewhat of a self sustained entity within the game, funding the production of items that wouldn't be present otherwise - although, oddly enough, they always mention bringing in new costumes and the like primarily as items for new episodes... but they end up going on the C-store for the players to purchase... Unfortunately, unless we got our hands on an STO financial report, I don't think any of us will ever know for sure.
Exactly.
Objecting to purely fluff items that are out-of-time relative to the game's setting is irrational C-store hate.
There's plenty of stuff to rationally hate in and planned for the C-store. No sense wasting anger on the reasonable stuff.
If the 29th centure pips were available for a few bucks in the Cstore, I'd buy them. I have to support the game somehow. Also, it's a fluffy item that has no actual impact on gameplay, which is what Cstore items should be.
:cool:
