I'm curious if the above item is ever coming to the C-Store. I never hear anybody talk about it, and it's a fairly powerful console, all things considered. It was an Atari-Exclusive, which is what worries me most about getting it.
I know a lot of "Pre-Order" items are not available due to a contract to main exclusivity for certain stores, but that has to run out eventually, right? It certainly did the CONNIE, as well as the GOLD TRIBBLE, which made it into the C-Store not long after launch.
So, Cryptic, or even other knowledgable players, what are the odds of this hitting the C-Store at some point.
PS: I am by no means a Pay-To-Win advocate. Infact, I HATE Pay-To-Win, but at this point, most of OUR exclusives for the Pre-Orders have hit the C-Store (Sans a few), so why not this?

I'm hopping with the Dutty Roster system, they re-adjust how crew effects the ship and how easily crew can be knocked out or killed. If they do, we may need to re-evaluate how powerful these consoles are.
Tru dat.
Every time I'm too close to an enemy that goes kaboom (which is often due to me forgetting to use "countermeasures" for such situations) I immediately lose anywhere from 3/4 to my entire crew.
But dstahl has frequently stated in his Engineering Reports that all preorders and other exclusives (the sole known exception being the Red Matter Capacitor) will eventually make it to the C-Store, exclusivity deals pending.
I also wouldnt mind seeing (ship) class based items.
The on-demand crew heal is okay, but, to be honest, there's very situations where I'm alive long enough for periods of combat where I'd want the extra hull healing from the crew being alive.
In most situations, it's largely impractical because:
1) The fight is going to be over soon, so your crew will regenerate fairly quickly, anyway.
2) You're already heavily damaged, and you're going to die.
or
3) You're already heavily damaged/the fight will be awhile longer, and the next hit will knock out most of the crew you just healed.
I'm not against putting it in the C-Store for people who want it, with the other missing promotional items, i'm just saying it actually appears to be much better than it is.
I've started pulling it off of my ships, because I honestly just never find a good time to use it other than when I don't feel like waiting for my crew to come back by themselves.
