I have bought a lot of things from the C-Store (now seeing how big a mistake that is in light of they crappy customer service and care we are recieving now is) such as Most of the Federation and Kilingon Ships, Federation Uniforms, additional character slots as well as ship and Bridge Officer slots and most of all the Bridge packs of both the Fed and Klin ships.

My question now is since PWE and Cryptic are trying to Royaly TRIBBLE us would I lose all that if I stoped paying a monthly fee and went F2p?

Or will I be traped by the lose of previously purchased C-store items to paying a monthly fee for **** Poor game quality?

    You lose nothing by changing to a silver membership. Everything you purchased is yours until the game shuts down.

    One thing I can't help but Golds are getting stiffed, since we pay for subscriptions on top of these gimicks. At this rate its cheaper to go silver since Silvers are getting more benefits than us who supported the game since launch.

    That's true. If I still paid, I would be getting shafted. I guess I might be able to afford the Rhode Island bit and fly the Nova at VA a bit more happily, but that's it.

    If you convert to silver you might lose some of your gold benefits (like for instance, you might lose bridge officer slots if you dismiss a bridge officer). You will not lose anything you unlocked in the c-store, including veteran rewards (to the best of my understanding). I also believe you will not lose inventory or bank slots on your existing characters.
