Finally! I have reached that 1000 day subscriber milestone as of today!
I'm geeked about finally getting a chance to try out those Vet ships.

I'm probably one of the last people to get their 1K the hard way... yes, an LTS would've been cheaper and smarter, but I'm just glad I got here at all!
My wife is giving me a hard time about being such a geek, but I don't care...
I AM GEEK, HEAR ME ROAR!

congrats on hitting 1k days anyways.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
The vet ships are nice, even though Chimera is super ugly. :P

the most fugly next to that galaxy class with those tiny nacelles.

The 1000 day veteran rewards don't relate to STO?
a player looking for congratulations in general has no direct impact on sto, otherwise we would be getting hundreds of player threads about it

@Blue - The ships are ok, can be good fun to fly. The only thing is they are locked to a damage of empire specific types.
If you want a test dummy to try out configs on, give me a shout, I'm free from in hour for the rest of the night.
That is $500.00 you will never get back.
Now you just need Cryptic to add a 1,500 day prize to the list to really mess with you.
Oh, and the Chimera isn't the ugliest ship. The Peghqu in Tactical mode is.
You mean the pregnant sovereign? :P
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Hey! The Chimera has that nice motherly glow to her. She's beautiful that way.
@OP: Congratulations bluegeek! Enjoy the Phaser/Disruptor Lotus!

Have fun with the ships!
EASY fella... I also got my Veteran ship the hard way, by waiting 1000 days.
Just because one is a LTS dosen't mean that some of us didn have to wait too... I hit 1000 days, a few weeks before they changed the rules...
So... Me and my veteran ship "U.S.S. 1000-day wait" greet you welcome, and congratulations on your new ship.
We geeks are so awesome. :cool:
Oh, I totally get that. No offense intended.
I'm just having my own little geek party in my head and I'm happy enough to spread my joy -- or something -- around.
I can claim one for each of my 50's, right? Fed, KDF, and Rom?
(There. Now we're discussing STO.)

That would be pretty sad, actually, if that's what I was celebrating...

Yep. You can also dismiss it and reclaim it later just like C-store ships. You do have to ask the shipyard NPC for another token to reclaim it, but the token is free. Not the fleet version though, that's the same single character unlock as all the other fleet ships are.

Yup, one fleet module and a tier 2 spire, I believe.
And the destroyers are fine ships.
To get the most out of them you have to go faction specific energy type, but thats not necessarily a bad thing.
at the end of the day apart from the monthly stipend there is very little reason to sub beyond 1000 days, this is why many subbers stop subing after that point anyway.
as most of your subbing bennefits stay with you when you go ftp and what doesent can be paid for with a few zen they would not be losing much giving you the upgrade and being as you have paid well over the top of lifetimes one off price it only seems fair.
it would certainly be the best incentive to users who are paying monthly subs to continue paying on to the 1000 day mark.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

I agree... it will never happen.
I do wish they had offered pro-rated discounts on LTS, though. I would've done that a long time ago, as soon as I could have afforded it.
Quitting the game long enough to save up for an LTS was a no-go

To bad there is no way to play the game without subscribing....oh wait
Dude... I was messing with you... I am happy to see someone making it there, and being as happy about it as I were.
You can claim and dismiss it as much or as little as you want... It's the same as a regular C-Store ship.
And of cause theres the spire variant that you need to dish out money for.

A milestone indeed ... .
I slapped the Chimera on a usless Alt , and designated him my Currier/Tour of the Universe guy -- and really , the Chimera is so unusual that I have no problem seeing it as a currier ship ... .
The Rommie one , now that one is a true beauty !!
Speaking as one who owns no fleet ships or lockbox ships (MU's don't count), I'll take 'em, try 'em, and dock 'em if I don't like flying 'em.
