Seeing as how I bought my LT sub before launch, yeah...it's been more than worth it for me. As of right now? Probably not. It would probably be a better use of money to sub, create a bunch of characters with the max number of slots you get, level one to max, then cancel. Then take that same amount of money you would have spent on the LT sub(minus however long you subbed for) and buy that much zen. I think that would get you more bang for your buck at this point. Especially during a promotion where zen is discounted.

Same here. The Liberated Borg race was a nice perk, but it was not the main reason to get it. It was either spend $240 to get the LTS or spend far more than that doing the monthly subscription. If I was to purchase the LTS now, then I would have serious second thoughts about purchasing it instead of the five second choice that it was back then since being a subscriber in STO sucks compared to other MMOs.
I got the LTM last summer during the sale, the only thing I regret was not buying it in an earlier sale. The neat thing about it is that it's a one-off thing and you get all the benefits of gold without shelling out every month.
That said you're better off waiting for the sale since it means the sub will pay for itself MUCH sooner :cool:
Never regretted it for a moment as the 500 Zen a month stipend is useful, the Captain's Yaht provides free shuttles to all three factions. (Though I did upgrade to a Delta Flyer for my Feds, my KDFs and Romulans do use their Yahts.)
The unique Android BOFF is a nice little addition as an away team member with the nice "reboot" trait it has.
Since the question is phrased as do I as a lifer think the sub is worth it.
For me, yes.
I like this game and I do want to support it. I like the little effects I get, extra tokens and the like that were kinda defeated eventually. But I get an android on any toon I create at level 5 (Post faction choice for RR) a vet destroyer, playable borg. All kinda fun.
What sells it for me is the no monthly bill. This lets me be flexible with where I spend my money and means I can keep a subscription to something else going. Or have money to put into the toys in the game then just paying for additional access. If you have the money laying around or will. (I turned Christmas money into my lifer.) And like it that much, go for it. If you think that is too much money for one lumps sum spending. Then don't.
For each person that enjoys something another person will regret it.

It isn't worth it and cryptic should get rid of them and go the neverwinter model.
I bought my lifetime sub before release and it has more then tripled in value. But by sheer weight of numbers (and not saying that sto isn't a good game) do you see it lasting another 4 1/2 years.
I will not buy another PC. Nobody buys pc's anymore
That being said a "pack" of benefits per expansion would be awesome. (Like neverwinter) is a good idea
mmm didn't drop 3k on my self build gaming tower/rig because PC's are dead. PC gaming is better than ever before.
You don't seem to realize that nobody is buying laptop and pcs. So there is less of a market as time goes on.
It doesn't matter how "free to play" it is. Nobody is going to buy a laptop to try a free game.
So the market that cryptic is looking at is getting smaller every year in favour of tablets
I think your thinking of the market that sells the general public crappy dells and hp's. Yes that will die. But the PC gaming market will continue to get better. Tablets suck for gaming and no self respecting gamer would spend their time on such junk.

Curiosity, but what is wrong with HP's? I buy them straight from the factory built to my specs. They last for years and are versatile.

+1 to ya Nagus. I think that way too.

Can't complain at all.
+2 to that way of thought. :cool:
