What will you buy for Legacy of Romulus?

So I see the price of Zen is going up. Which tells me folks are wanting more Zen, and I can only assume it's because LOR is coming next month. I have read that we'll be getting a free character slot, so we don't need that. For me personally, I don't think there'll be any need to buy a C-store ship until I get a Romulan to level 50. So here's my question...

What will (or maybe already HAVE) you buy with Zen for LOR as soon as it releases?

Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    I think Zen is going up due to the Dilithium Exploit from last week - and it's going to be compounded by all the CE Zen hitting the market in the next couple of days.

    As far as what I'll buy, I know I'll buy the Reman playable species. I already purchased the Standard Pack, so that gives me a T1 and T5 shiip, and the Liberated Borg Reman. I don't think I'll need much more before I get to level 50 and decide what T5 ship I plan to use - and I'll probably go Fleet ship.
    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.

    Account Bank and maybe 2 additional BOff slots. :D

    I'm not sure. I wanted the Valdore, but I'm not sure I do anymore. Well, I'm sure I'll find something sooner or later.

    I'm not buying anything till we get a C-store sale.

    Hmm, $125 for some digital ships and such OR 3,560 lbs of this. Hard to decide which I'd get more use out of... ;)
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Nothing, unless they add uniforms, other random Romulan goodies into the C-store. I don't need any character, bank or other slots for my characters right now.

    The pack, probably. I can sit here and rationalize why I shouldn't, but I probably will.

    Probably some costumes if they are nice.

    And a romulan carrier if we get one.

    If they don't fix the Emergency Powers mess in a way that does not TRIBBLE up cruisers (especially DPS cruisers) or turn running them into a click-fest, nothing.

    If they do, I'll buy a D'deridex retrofit at the very least, I've wanted that ship for ages, and probably a couple other ships.

    At least one costume pack (assuming there will be costume packs, naturally), a Lib Borg BOFF of whatever description is available, a T-1 ship, and the T-3 ship with the Plasmonic Leech console since I am going KDF.

    I've also got a Photonic Tactical Officer Candidate waiting to be unpacked once I choose a faction (since I assume it can't be unpacked until then so I can't have one from level 1).

    Tier 4 and 5 ships can wait since we're starting from level 1 after all.

    In other news: I grind dilithium well. And I see no proof that "he who dies with the most toys wins" isn't true.

    Only thing that could throw this into chaos is if by some act of God there is a TOS Romulan bundle with a custom interior along the lines of the TOS Fed or DS9 bundle.

    TNG uniforms if available, and a D'deridex or Valdore retrofit. But I am in no rush, I don't mind saving for it bit by bit. I was lucky enough to buy around 600 zen when the price was still 1 to 100 2 weeks ago, and now I'm actually considering selling all my zen for the inflated dilithium price, making around 40% profit, then waiting till the zen price drops again in a couple of months.

    Same here. I wanted the Valdore as well driven by the concept art I've seen on the LoR website, but in the screenshot of the dev.blog it looks nothing like it, so I'm not sure I want it anymore. Hopefully, it is just a awkward screenshot of it. Other than that, I'm not really interested in any other stuff unless TOS uniforms are availible, I'll be getting those.
    Also I'd be getting all KDF uniforms comming in LoR if there are any! :)

    At this point there is a better chance of me spending zen to get some new KDF ships to warp through the new KDF content, or if there aren't any new ones at least getting the two Nausicaan ships I'm missing for my new KDF char I intend to roll with the release of LoR.

    I did buy the Starter Pack, the other one is just to expensive for me atm. But I have 10k Zen ready to buy more Romulan stuff. :)

    I've brought the starter pack mainly for the Liberated Borg and Warbird retrofit. I'll get the D'deridex retrofit from the C-Store but apart from that none of the others look particularly appealing.

    Apart from the Scimitar, which will either be a 5K package or the Romulan Lock Box ship. :P

    Bought the big pack. Beyond that I don't have to do much. I've got six free character slots already.

    All I'm doing now is grinding a little dilithium here and there to get keys to open lock boxes. Mainly to stock up on doff packs (which can be opened by Romulans btw, I tested that on Tribble). Oh and I'm working on some Romulan-based Foundry missions :)

    I'll buy 4 character slots.:)

    Maybe I'll purchase a few of the retrofit ships, but I'll have to wait and see which ones will be covered by the 600 day token.

    The D'ridthau looks kinda interesting so maybe that as a skin assuming I'll use the D'deridex retro or the Fleet version...which I'm not entirely sure of right now.

    I purchased the $20.00 pack. (the other one is just too expensive)

    I'll probably get a few bank slots and a couple more Account slots as well as any apparel They release.

    I'll have to wait and see which ships appeal to me as I climb through the tiers after May 21st.

    TNG and DS9 costumes if available.After that, the D'Deridex refit. Cryptic's original ship designs *really* don't interest me, and I havwe no interest in playing anything but a Romulan so likely nothing else. I haven't seen a lot of LoR I have liked so far on Tribble, so I'm not even sure about that. Might hold out for them to add a Tal Shiar or RSE faction and buy Romulan C-store stuff when that happens (never). Not sure at this point.

    I picked up the $20 pack for the Borg BO (I imagine the C-Store version won't be account wide) and the escort-y ships. I'm getting playable Remans from T5 Romulan rep. I'm getting playable Liberated Borg, most likely, as a lifer.

    Beyond that, probably costumes.

    Still trying to decide what I want my Romulan alts to be. Leaning towards a Reman with a name that's some kind of nod to The Master from Buffy although I'd totally make one named Willow if female Remans have hair. (I don't have any female alts of note right now aside from a Bajoran in a "sexy Vedek" look that I made for laughs when we could mix skirts with robe tops.)

    I think I'd like one Fed and one Klingon. Leaning towards the Reman going Klingon although I also like to play against type a bit and may have a Lib. Borg Romulan go KDF and a Reman go Fed.

    Something speaks to me about having a Reman with a Caitian crew. It's just weird enough to suit me.

    Also, a part of me hopes we'll get offduty clothes at some point and I'd like a Tuxedo Reman to go with my Tuxedo Gorn.

    Still holding out on stats for that T5 T'varo, but I'll probably buy the Starter Pack. I'll surely get use out of T1 ship and if I use the BOff on each toon I start, I'll make up the cost real quick. I won't even have to use the T5 ship.

    Already have plenty of char slots and my LTS guarantees me respecs and ample storage space.

    Other than that, once my next stipend comes in, I'll have enough for two costumes and two endgame ships, so I'll probably go that route. I don't really like any of the alt costumes from the TX+1 ships, but if a console looks interesting, I might juggle that around. Right now looking at getting the T5 Mogai and Dhelan.
