Assuming it was anywhere from $20-40, would you buy it? Yes or No?

Although I would practically sell a couple toes, mabye a finger for the Romulans (stipulation being to replace the Hirogen with the Breen as the Romulans allies)
I play plenty of MMOs and know the deal. I just don't want to see this as a paid expansion, then the Romulans, then later seasons, and so on and so forth. It could become a potential Pandora's Box. It would devalue my Lifetime Subscription even further and I'm not all about that.
For instance, 10 missions isn't enough. There would to need to be at least 20 missions with reason to visit more than 1 time and not involving mindless grinding for kill accolades. And there needs to be at least 2 ships involved. One canon ship we been missing for years is the K'Vort, another they could add from canon is the D5 (new Tier 0 ship, if they expand starting levels back to Level 1).
Otherwise, I'd just wait for it to get marked down 25% after 6 months at Wally-World.

Because those other games don't charge you $25 for ships. Also they usually start with a sufficient amount of content besides end game grind.
They should bring STO content up to par, then I'm willing to talk expansion.
Uh, no.
I've already bought a lifetime subscription and STO has macrotransactions that cost as much as a full expansion without offering 1/1000th the amount of content.
So yeah, that avenue would only be acceptable if (1) it's entirely free to subscribers or (2) there are MASSIVE cuts to the established CStore prices.
I would buy it full price. I think a fair way to go about it is Free for lifetimer, reduced for Gold accounts, and Full price for silver accounts.
Would that be a little more amicable to folks?

I wouldn't expect it to be Free for LTS'ers... (They do have to pay Their bills)
But a considerable discount would be reasonable...
Anything in the 30 to 40 percent range is reasonable to me...
I'd be amicable if it was $25 to $30 dollars.

Unless you're using pure perk points or dilithium for zen stock, anything you buy from the cryptic store devalues your LTS. You're still paying money for some level of content either way. But I suppose you feel your original purchase of the game devalued your LTS. Or your purchase of the game from every different retailer with a bonus in-game item.

Nope, I wouldn't spend anymore real money on Cryptic/PWE ever.
I feel I got scammed with my LTS, gonna going to get scammed again.
Reality is though, I could grind dilithium to no end and sell it all on the dilithium exchange and in the process accrue enough ZEN to never spend any real-world money on the game. :cool:

Why would they sell us an expansion for $20-$40 when they know full well they could sell it piecemeal via zstore and lockboxes for $200-$400?
Cryptic have to start living up to their word, and get it fleshed out, WITHOUT chargeing extra.
Said by a player who puts no interest into the KDF.
Edit: And I don't really care about the "Plans change" argument... For me, it's not really a valid argument, when you've promised something.
No. I would be offended as well. Given all the mission content added to the Feds for free, given the amount I have spent getting all the C-Store content for the KDF...
Flat out No.
I would have to say no. I?d much prefer to play Romulans. Other than that, I?m perfectly happy playing Federation.
but i highly doubt we will ever see one for a number of reasons, so im not going to hold my breath.
It was 90% Klingon, meaning, not thse copy/paste missions, but unique missions for them and new ships.
and
When this expansion came out, there would be a patch (free for all) that would come out that would start the KDF at level 1 and allow players to start as KDF, without any Feds, and give them the content to level through that section.
If it were a mixed expansion, i'd be iffy on it, and if it did not bring the KDF to be a full blown faction it would be worthless.
But, Fed only players will feel either they don't need it or feel ripped off. A lot of games that add faction expansions offer very little to the primary factions. When City of Heroes expanded with City of Villains, they offered Supergroup bases to everyone who purchased the expansion. People who were not interested in playing villains were cornered because they wanted bases as well. Something needs to be offered to Fed only players as well.
I would hope whatever they offer to Fed only players is good, considering since they are the majority. An expansion containing only KDF content wouldn't yield as much profit in my opinion. I don't think they'd really create something only 20% of the playerbase would pick up.
