My thought right now is...why create a thread when there is an official one just about the pack.... ?
But its not in THIS forum and this forum is the only one that matters! The tears of rage aren't as delicious in the other forums.
I'm kind of meh on the preorder packs.
Ignorance is an obstacle not an excuse
Let the stupid suffer
I would rather have the exp pack a pay for thing instead of cryptic always using the "free" excuse at least if it was payed for then we wouldnt need to have to buy anything extra like these pre-order packs.
Also im getting sick of cryptic and other mmos where they use the term micro transactions but its anything but micro. A micro transaction must be at least in my eyes nothing more than say the price of ?1-5 where 5 is the absolute max. Anything more and its not micro and tbh thats just not on for digital addon content. If it was a feature packed dlc then maybe but then that price for such a item would be ?5-10 at 10 being the max but personally id never pay more than 7.
I'd have to put in an extra two days at work (after taxes), in order to get the Legacy Pack.
Unfortunately, they aren't allowing over-time where I work now.

125 for a pack. My god, man. I'm a doctor not a glutton for punishment, Cryptic! LOL at that 125 price tag. This game isn't worth that kind of investment on a pack for a group that is not truly a faction.

I think they are trying to kill the romulan player base before it even starts 125..............................
If you do a breakdown of what comparable individual items cost, it's actually a reasonable price for what's in the pack. All of the ships look like they'll be sold separately from the C-Store, so people wanting to ala-carte will still be able to.
My biggest issue is the number of "details to be announced later" entries. Call me overly cynical, but I like to actually know what I'm purchasing when I spend my coin.
Surely it's tempting, but without knowing what we get for free when the faction launches and what kind of stats those ships have, I wouldn't be spending a single dime.
Don't think you'll be able to buy the pack itself with Zen, but per Bran via Twitter, all the ships will be available in the C-Store. So those at lease you'll be able to snag that way.
Based on the concept of getting $181.00 worth of items for $125.00 - and having just run the numbers for all the items' costs - I'm assuming the pack is a discount and that you can buy all the items separately. It's just going to cost you $56.00 more to do so.
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.

You get Remen (NOT BORG) for free for doing the Romulan rep in game.
I'll likely end up buying the D'Deridex and Mogai retrofits from the cstore. I'm not a console enthusiast so can easily let the other ships slide. Its not like there won't be free ships to level up in, and leveling is so fast anyway.
I'd say anyone considering purchasing this should really think about whether they are going to use any of this stuff. Remans? Liberated Borg Remans? Titles?
Yeah, sorry Cryptic, but I've already put $300 for a subscription into this game, not mentioning the money spent on c-points/zen.
Maybe is Lifetime Subscribers got this for free, or discounted in the least...
After all, we've put money into the game to pull our weight around here.
They're ships and boffs and doffs. You buy them just as you would a Fed or KDF item. The pack is just giving you the chance to buy them all at once and get a discount, compared to buying all the items individually. It has nothing to do with LTS, Gold, or Silver. They're just C-Store items bundled together at a lesser price.

Cryptic makes a new record on the highest micro transactions to support the game
125 euro is VERY steep for that pack and are they taking into account players who have silver and gold memberships dont want to have to keep paying through the nose???
im a somewhat dedicated player of this game since launch.im a lifetimer too.
need a few answers so i wont throw away my money.
do i need to purchace the upcoming game add-on in order to play it as a lifetime member yes or not?
how long will the legacy pre-order be available?i already spent some money on the kumaris and the vestas yesterday and i didnt know about the legacy pack.i want it.how long will it be available for purchace?this month things are hectic so i cant afford it right now.it'll be more comfortable for me to purchace early may,will it still be there for purchace?
will my veteran status (over 1000 days in game) be available for my new romulan toons?will i recieve a bonus ship and my fireworks on my new romulan toons as it happened with my feds and klings?
do i get any free character slots?
i have unlocked all fed ships on my account.considaring i choose to ally with the federation will all those fed ships be available on my new romulan toons?
thats all.friends from the forums please refrain from answering unless you are 100% sure and can provide a link with official info on those questions.
i would prefer to get answers from cryptic personel ,just to be sure cause 125 dollars arent growing on trees.
I'm going to buy the Starter Pack and then just buy the other items from the C-Store at full-price. It works better for me as I don't buy/use Keys and that $33.75 would be wasted money for me.

The Packs are just standard C-Store items bundled together and sold to you at a slight discount. It's no different then currently playing a Fed or KDF.
You can buy it all at once, or you can pay more and buy it all separately.

I kind of thought people who bought LTS would be playing as either liberated borg or liberated reman if they wanted.
They get the alien race instead?
Hard to commit to a purchase without seeing any stats.
I'd say anyone considering purchasing this should really think about whether they are going to use any of this stuff. Remans? Liberated Borg Remans? Titles?
The Liberated Reman is the Rommie equivalent of the FED/KDF liberated drone BOFF. It's not a playable race unlock.

i'm sitting on 1400+ Zen and now i can't use them for this Pre Order !?
i want that title too!
:mad:
...and if i pay... what do i do with that Zen then... god damn it...
PS: you can keep those 30 LockBox Keys and make it $30 cheaper instead...
Nine romulan ships isn't romulan enough for you?
do I need to name off every thing remen coming in this pack?
system Lord Baal is dead
There will be female Remans. The assets have been visible in the character creator on Tribble.

What price would you deem to be fair?
The Packs are just standard C-Store items bundled together and sold to you at a slight discount. It's no different then currently playing a Fed or KDF.
