The Borg BOFF will be promotable to a playable character once the Level Cap is raised and we can promote our BOFFs to a Playable Captain Character, (there is also a reward Borg BO in the STFs as well.)
So there is a C-Store Borg and an in game Borg that will be a playable character eventually.
It is coming, just have to be patient.
I like that line of thinking. I would vote no on LTS Lib Borg Incentive going to C-Store. Personally I have seen enough preorder items go c-store there for making the preorder "limited" bonus purchase incentive void.
I will admit to picking up the other items in c-store and i can understand the demand, but LTS incentives should remain unique to LTS.
I would however endorse some kind of difficult method to have your cpt be assimilated and recovered by their boffs. Factor in some kind of stat loss penalty with the gaining of 1 of the lib Borg ability's of the players choosing. And once assimilated cannot be undone.
I'm a 530 day vet also a Borg liberated payed like $245.00 U.S. dollars for life think it's $300.00 now . I think STO played down the Borg as a Independence faction like the Feds and Klingon's have due to man power at STO . But did a lot of work in the beginning of the game on the Borg STF missions So much for the third faction the romulans that never happened after a vote 1 1/2 years ago as the next big patch, Borg was number two on the list . Well should normal players be borg yes it might help them to push the Borg faction first as a playable race.
The only way the Borg Faction would be available for players is if we are dealing with an independent Borg faction since regular Borg play would be boring. Either it amounts to getting to play your character a few minutes every hour or being forced to do missions instead of having the choice to. Numerous threads asking for a Borg Faction. I prefer to think that some of the liberated borg are not truly liberated.
Thought of this idea where you are a borg that still has its independence. Game would be like Bioshock where you can try to not draw attention, take over as Borg Queen or King, or destroy the Collective.
thanks for all the replies,if you think about it non lifers are actually paying more to play the game,another interesting option would be to give the option of buying the lib borg to those who have reached a certain amount payment wise like 3-400 pound mark or the same as a life sub or make the khitomer borg playable
it just like all the other stuf thay said . pre order and you get this . well they still give it away when you buy it now not fair they lie .everything that was a preorder perk should not be given to ppl that did not pre order but thay get it .....it a lot os bs that they can lie to get ppl to buy more corpies of the game then put the stuff on c-store that not fair and they lied
oh and by we why i have the e-mail from them that says get your liftime now because we will not offer this after game launch more lies

If non lifers play for 20 months or more depending on subscription model, then you are correct. C-store items should be available for everyone and not restricted by amount of time played. Having a vet reward of being able to buy certain items on the C-store is a lousy idea and should be discouraged as much as possible. If a player plays for 20 months, then they should get the liberated borg. Therefore, the vet reward for 600 days or 700 days should have the liberated borg species and something else since the 400 day vet reward had the Captain's Table and Captain's Yacht. Some borg related item would suffice like borg interiors.

If the people in charge change, then it is not lying when things change. People have different ideas on how to run a business so one person might think that limiting lifetime subscriptions to be acceptable while another person thinks that giving lifetime subscriptions to others would suffice. Also, people can change their mind due to feedback and I think this is what happened. Too many players complained that they missed out on the lifetime subscription offer and the devs consented to let everyone that wants them to get them.
We would not get anything in replace of that vet reward. The captains table was given as a vet reward and the lifers did not get anything in its place.
Lifers are short changed when it comes to vet rewards by Cryptic handing out lifers perks in the referal. I know others have said that to give some alternative reward to lifers but as was done with the captains table that will not happen.
There isn't really much to do there anyway the only benefit is taken your kdf toons there to sell npc junk since you get a better value there.
I know this thread is not about the captains table it is about the lib borg but since we are talking about lifetimers perks.
In CO, there is an incentive to go to their version of the captains table. I would like to see something put into the captains table as a reward for having access to that perk.
You can get a special vanity pet in CO's version. You can get special healing devices at a better price that works better than the ones from the venders in the rest of the game; also, there is an npc that every 15 minutes will restore stars that are used at that games death penalty.
In CO when you are defeated, you lose stars which the more you have make you more effective. You have to either spend real cash or get devices from the c-store to restore the stars or pay in game currency to npc vendors to restore the stars. So Champions version of the captains table has more incentive to go to that area and it isnt a pain to get there you dont have to do multiple zones to get to the area and in CO you have a device that can transport you to it.
imho it should be unlocked once you have passed x amount of months subbed to the game.
Or once you have spent 2 years subbed to the game you become an lifer :P that wont happen so i do feel they need to show some love to the players that do sub each month but dont have the means to pay for a life time sub.

Need to try and treat everyone the same.
