New Lifer Surprise!

I guess I didn't read the info correctly, but I was thrilled that after purchasing my lifetime subscription I automatically received all veteran rewards. I was expecting to have to wait the required days to get it, but wow that's a nice bonus.

Not only do I have immediate access to the Chimera and the Klingon equivalent, but the free VA ship token is great--I'll get a refit ship for my Romulan without using Zen.

All in all, I'd say the current LTS sale is quite worth the money if you can afford it.

Now I have ship-purchase paralysis . . . especially for my Nausicaan. What new toy does he get to play with?

The only issue I seem to be having is I can't claim the Android boff. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it doesn't show I have any tokens for it, and the "buy" button is greyed out.

    currently only kdf and Feds can buy androids i think, i dont think they hooked that reward up yet for roms. and only SOME of the T5 refits are usable for the token rom side.

    they made a change a while back in which LTS automatically get all the rewards. this was done i think the same time they released the 1000 day reward.

    If you go to ESD or the Kling home world you can claim your Android from the same vendor. You have to choose your side first though. I have it on my Rommie

    Hm, I had thought that the Romulans would be able to get the androids of their allies but I didn't try yet, only two of my characters have claimed the android so far, I'm keeping them rare. (Ninja'd by a Borg drone. The shame..... :D)

    The immediate veteran rewards were added around the time, the first people hit 1000 days and hotly debated then because it made long-time playing veterans indistinguishable from people who dumped a bunch of cash into the game. For me it doesn't matter, I still have my exclusive Special Envoy title.:D

    As a romulan you cannot claim your factions vet shuttle for some reason.
    Even though you can get the generic faction shuttle
    Should I start posting again after all this time?

    true, however there were a lot of lifers from launch and pervious sales well before this feature was added. i was at 997 days when they did the retroactive "all lifers get all vet rewards" thing.

    but its nice to know that once you pick a side you get your android... wonder if i can get my photonic Tactical Lobi BO once i pick a side....


    as for the Vet Faction shuttle..... and 1000 day ship, those two ships are having their own romulan faction specific versions, so they didnt make it so you can claim your allies to make things simpler.

    The Romulans are going to get their own Captain's Gig at some point so you can't claim the Fed or KDF Yacht/Chariot.

    yeah, they decided to go and give the RR their own ships for this. :D

    Which will likely be very similar to the extant ones, but updated to use Romulan singularity cores.

    I cant wait to see the Romulan 1000 day ship.... after all, its gonna have moving parts (at least should) like its Fed/KDF counterparts.

    Please note that the Android of your chosen ally cannot be trained at the Flotilla or New Romulus.

    You cannot train any Fed/KDF Boff's there at this time...

    Founder, member and former leader to Pride Of The Federation Fleet.

    Thats the way it should be. We're Romulan. Not fed or KDF. Its like in the real world, Great Britain doesnt train its american naval bridge officers there and america dosnt train great Britains naval bridge officers. And yes, there is a limited officer exchange program that is used.

    The Brits trained a lot of foreign submarine officers at their Perisher course including Americans. We do as well in New London, entire crews at times (there were naval crews for two diesel submarines from Iran here at New London when the Shah fell, they all basically defected). The US Naval War College annually accepts over 40 international students.
