    Will any of the things in the Legacy pack be available later on, individually?

    With the economy the way it is $125.00 dollars in a single pop, is too rich for my bank account now-a-days.

    Ditto. The only thing I want out of the Starter pack is the T'varo Light Warbird. And the only thing I want out of the legacy pack is the playable Reman and probably one of the T-5 ships.

    If I was going to spend that much at once, I'd buy a Lifetime.

    Speaking of which, I am also interested in finding out what Gold/LTS might get when LoR goes live...

    All reman ships are is romulan ships with the reman space set on them

    What I meant is, unique Reman starship designs. Like the frigates we saw in the Countdown comics.
    Weren't Remans repeatedly announced as an account perk for hitting T5 Romulan rep?

    And as a C-store unlock, yes. That was confirmed a while ago.

    On a related note: I finished Romulan Reputation on a character, but have since deleted that character. :eek: Are playable Remans still going to be free for me, or do I have to grind/buy it again?

Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    And what if someone does not want to spend that RIDICULOUS amount of money on these items...How can someone acquire these?


    And..can someone start off as a Reman, or is it only a Romulan?
    You can buy every item on the list in the C-Store on launch day. Combined those items will cost you $181.00 in the C-Store. So you can pre-order them all now, or you can buy them all later for a little more. Your choice.

    The only thing the bundles give you are the Titles. You can't buy them on the C-Store.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    The Starter Pack looks ok. A nice starter ship to being with, and a nice T5 to get me started at later levels. And I do love my Liberated Borg. C-Store Borg, Khitomer Borg, now a Reman borg.. hopefully playable Liberated Borg Romulan.. really hopefully. As in, this has to happen.

    The Legacy Pack is way too expensive right now, especially with no information on the various ships, and I wouldn't be using them all anyway. When they're all out there I can cherry pick from the C-store instead :cool:

    Last I heard, Romulans could have Bridge Fficers of their allied faction.

    Does this mean a Romulan allied with the Federation, for example, could have:

    Reman Liberated Borg BO, Khitomer Accord Science Borg Bridge Officer, Amazon/C-Store Liberated Borg Female Federation Engineer?

    Or a Romulan allied with the KDF could have:

    Reman Liberated Borg BO, Khitomer Accord Science Borg BO, Amazon/C-Store Liberated Borg Female Klingon Engineer?

    Cryptic... if you read this.


    Please make a Tier 5 /Fleet Retrofit of the Valdore heavy warbird Escort.

    It is the most beautiful ship I ever saw in a Star Trek related ..anything, I would love to fly it in the STFs.

    I would love to see a tier 5 version of it, any version that is compatible with end game play.

    Why I can not afford 125 dollars (more then half of a month's wages here, had I have a job) , I would love to buy the Valdore refit for a reasonable (2500-5000 zen) price.

    I beg you for the sake of all that is awesome, give us Valdores at Tier 5. They look advanced enough for tier 5.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    I'm assuming you get the costume it's part of it if you get the T4...Just like the Sao Paulo is for the Defiant.

    i am reserving judgement until more info comes, but considering i have been around since the end of 2010, many people have plopped for LTS. if the stuff within is excellent value, i may just drop some money for the starter pack but the legacy pack? thats a bit out my range just for a game addon. considering swtor just had RoftHC and that preorder was an expansion at almost 20 pounds, i seriously question the wisdom of this legacy pack at this price!.

    How in heavens name does $ 124.99 translate into 119.99 Euros if the official exchange rate is $ 1.3054 for 1 Euro?


    $ 124.99 = 95.748 Euro


    That's a price increase of 24 Euros or 25% ! :eek:

    That's quite insolent. How do you justify that ???

    Is it European socialist leanings? Tax everything? Dont feel too bad at least you will likely have cheaper health care.

    The Valdore is obviously just a costume option for the Mogai plus a unique console. If you buy both the Valdore and the Mogai Refit you will most likely be able to put the formers looks on the latter and therefore have your T5 Valdore.

    I'll see if I can dig up the link, but I believe Bran confirmed that this is in fact how the Valdore/Mogai refit relationship works.

    Cryptic's Valdore is different from the Nemesis Valdores. It has the Nemesis one's main hull, but the wings are a newer and more robust design (looks better too) .

    The new Cryptic one looks way more robust and heavily armed.

    This Legacy pack seems very Reman-focused... do we get any Romulan-themed items aside from the ships?

    Romulan Borg Bridge Officer?
    Special Romulan Duty Officer mini-pack?
    Slick new Romulan-themed costumes?

    My budget analysis:

    MMO #1, produced by a company based in Irvine, CA
    -$50 to unlock all content
    -$15/mo
    -No marginal cost for any functional content
    -Some vanity items for ~$15/ea
    -At least 500% more content than STO
    -Better graphics than STO
    -Basically no software bugs and very few hardware bugs (occasional issues with some TCP/IP configurations, Macs, and Nvidia video cards)

    MMO #2, produced by a company based in Seoul, Korea
    -All content is F2P
    -Elite status is $15/mo
    -No marginal cost for any functional content
    -Many vanity items for ~$3-10/ea
    -At least 200% more content than STO
    -VASTLY better graphics than STO
    -Basically no bugs
    -VASTLY better TRIBBLE than STO

    MMO #3, produced by a company based in Bellevue, WA
    -All content is F2P
    -Elite status is $50, one-time fee
    -Many vanity items for many different prices
    -At least 100% more content than STO
    -VASTLY better graphics than STO
    -Almost no bugs
    -TRIBBLE are far worse than STO or any of its competitors because the game was written by feminists

    STO
    -One faction is F2P
    -Elite status is $150, Legacy status is $125
    -Many functional items for $10-50 ea
    -Less content than any near competitor
    -Worse content than any near competitor
    -Many, many bugs
    -Graphical/gameplay quality is most similar to the predecessor of MMO #3, which is B2P for $49, one-time.

    I am employed as a bookkeeper and operations manager. I am in a MSA/CPA program in the Cincinnati area.

    Please - cost-justify this to me. I'm listening.

    The Valdore (the name of a specific Warbird of a then-unidentified class) from Nemesis is STO's Mogai-class warbird. Presumably, STO's Valdore-class Warbird was named after Donatra's I.R.W. Valdore, much like the Venture-class Exploration Cruiser is named after the Galaxy-class U.S.S. Venture.

    You say we can buy the starter pack now, and the legacy pack later. If we do, will the cost of the starter pack be deducted from the cost of the legacy pack?

    Also, if the Scimitar becomes playable, will Feds get the Typhoon or Jupiter class?

    Federation alread has the Odyssey class, and KDF the Bortasque ones.

    When a ship's class isn't stated on-screen, Memory Alpha just names it "[ship of the class] type". There is not yet any canon designation for the class.

    We Lifetimers feel as if we are being backstabbed....

    Where's the perk for being a lifetime member? There should be a discount or some other pack for those who paid the real bills to start this company. Please re-consider and dont alienate those who helped a huge way to get this going.:mad::mad::mad:


    Thanks
