Well I kinda think the title says it all.. I was wondering if Lifetime Members will get a free T6 Ship per character that meets the level requirements... I haven't seen anything confirming nor denying that. But if the answer is no you don't then that will need to change...

The devs have admitted as much by intentionally nerfing the "upgrade" by at least 8%. It's a double dipping scam by PWE (free "upgrades" excepted of course).
I dont have a clue why they would do that. Giving a free T6 to lifemembers.. i mean. Some of you really love to imagine things lol.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
And for every single preceeding tier without exception players have gotten free ships.
This isn't just a completely reasonable idea but also brings up the question of how everyone on the forum seems to have socially conditioned amneisa.
If it's something negative about the game or the developement, it doesn't exist !!!11
I find it hilarious they think people are dumb enough to rebuy all the stuff they already bought, without developers adding a single animation or the slightest amount of work to it.
I still use borg weapons from before reputation systems eSTF drops.
Repuation system makes me laugh, so does crafting but upgrading takes the cake no doubt.
Of course I could be totally wrong and something in expansion 2 is going to have the same value of the 8 free ships from LoR, the free outfits, playable races and entirely new ship animations given away for free...
but I doubt it
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
The Reputation system not all laughable as you say. Sure some of the sets aren't what they all could be. I find most of the sets lacking features I need. It's a mix bag of gear from Deflector, Impulse, Warp Core, Shields and Consoles. That's how I am using most of the sets. Some sets just see weaker compare to the missions sets.
I am sure your borg weapons seem fine for now. This game is changing so much it's going be a lot of (grind) work to keep up with the changes.
Crafting (aka Retrofit) once they throw this in no turning it around to what you had prior. Still the way the clock is counting down seems like they could have given us 4 min grace period for free. Other online games do that for instant finish. But only at 4 min mark.
All the ships seems to be in the same type of class base on what type of ship they are. The only differences is the skin and some minor programming changes. If you want to get a ship that others don't have they should equipment this was Mark 13/14 Very Rare Purple. In the last live-stream I didn't see that.
On the Risan Luxury Cruiser (aka space battleship destroyer) the weapons for 4/4 fore/aft can manage 6/6 slots. I didn't notice that where the other Fed ships max out at 5/5 slots. Other online games use a lot of weapons slots here they don't seem to do that just limits on the weapons slots.. We all have more weapons we can use on our ships. I could use the 2 extra slots in weapons. So now if I need a stronger torpedo or heavy turret have to drop them in manually along with my current weapons payloads.
I just say, make it simple, but make it fun to play!
Time will only tell!
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Have it, and spent it. Basic business sense would say you need to encourage more people to buy the product, not just rely on past sales.
Right now I wouldn't buy lifetime simply because there aren't enough perks I want. I know I'll continue spending on other Zen products so why waste money on lifetime. Now if there were more freebies such as a free or discount T6 ship, infinity free T5U tokens, exclusive intel officers and the like, then maybe I'd go for it.
For me, there also seems to be a bit of a flaw with the packs. Do I want a dozen ships and a few tiny extras? I'll only end up using one or two of them and would i pay zen for titles? Would be better to have more variety in the high class items and make the extras something you'd pay for on its own.
The Fleet LTS/Vet ship is gonna be awesome in Delta. It has the perfect boff layout. With Delta its going to have 4 Engineering consoles, 2 Sci consoles and 5 Tactical consoles. Plus its going to get the escort buffs. That alone is reason enough for people to consider purchaseing a Lifetime sub.
As in:
8.000 dil a day * 30 days = 240.000 dilith a month. That in zen is 240.000 / 180 = 1333 zen a month.
Lets say we up the monthly stipend to 1000 and we call it case closed.

It is a peculiar phenomenon that we can imagine events that defy the laws of the universe.
I paid $240.00 for my LTS. I have gotten 34 Stipends at this point for $170.00 worth of free C-Store items. In 14 more months I will have gotten an equal amount of Stipend to what I paid for my LTS. Every month after that Cryptic will be paying me to play rather then me ever paying them. The 500 is more then enough.
no there is no free T6 ship for Lifetime Members or for anyone else and nor do we require that.
we all got what we paid for in our Lifetime package as advertised, I do not expect anything new to be added, so the answer is no you don't get a free T6 Ship per character and that does not need to change.
if the devs choose to add any extras to entice new buyers that is entirely up to them but I don't expect or demand anything, it would be totally uncouth to do so.
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.
Don't forget the additional character slot, the BOFF slots, the increased inventory as well as bank space, the account bank/account bank slots, the respec tokens, Foundry creation access/Foundry slots, Veteran Rewards...
It doesn't take long for somebody that bought a LTS to become a loss for Cryptic.
They wont your money to be spent on the new ships so they wont be giving away the new c-store shinies will they.
Let me rephrase:
I only have enough to upgrade one ship maybe. And it'll be a fleet ship. that only one of my three toons have. Some of us are not as lucky. But P2W or not, we WILL be going into and bombing elite PvEs! We cannot be stopped!
every tier did not get a free ship, you never got a free one at lv50 plus you could not choose any ship you only had a few you could choose from, also that wasn't just for subscribers but all players.
LoR was totally different, for a start it was a new faction so free ships had to be given to bring it in line with other factions, secondly you only got the ships if you created a romulan character, there were many players who never played roms and never got the ships or any of the romulan content or uniforms.

are you saying you are going into the elite to purposefully fail it?

What is this nonsense you speak of?
Several folks out there have said they're going to do that as a form of protest...it's one of the reasons that several folks have started threads asking if there is going to be any sort of gating for the L60s.
It's not free, it is part of the package. It is more of a discount that is tied into Zen. Upping the stipend is basically upping the discount, making membership cheaper. That is one way to up the number of people taking it, the other is to make the other content better. A few extra slots doesn't do it for me as I don't need it. In the end, the choice of whether or not you go for it would be on a calculation of
* Price minus zen stipend minus independent zen value of items you'd buy otherwise then divided by the number of exclusive items you're interested in.
If the cost is low or in positive, then you're cashing in. If it is in negative, then it's not for you. To increase the numbers of people taking up membership, you need to get it into positive for more and more people and once they're subscribed, hope they stick with it year on year increasing your profit on that account.
i got no reason to complain, i got what i paid for and im happy with it. i dont expect a free new ship for a vet reward or anything like this, if they add it, fine, if not then no big deal. i wonder why people look these things down and feel entitled to think it isnt enough just because they put some evil paper into it.
