Just wondering when will there be a Lifetime Subscription on special again because I'm hoping to get a Liberated Borg character sometime?

    They usually do them twice a year around Season or Expansion releases. Next one will probably be around May next year.

    I bought one yesterday for $200 sale price, assuming they didn't drop it from 300 to 200 Permanently at some point and I missed the memo when I was investigating the LTS.

    The payment didn't work because it couldn't contact the server as you can see in the image in the link in my previous reply.

    Maybe somebody, somewhere is trying to tell you something. With the game being what it has become, lifetime subs are for suckers. What else can you do with 200.00 other than spend it on an MMO that only has about 3-6 months left before shutdown?

    I really don't believe that the game is closing down. Because there will be a lot of protest for players that paid for Lifetime Subscription. Not only that its a popular game.

    Unless you can support your theory that its closing down. Until then I don't believe you!

    Don't believe him. This game isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He's just another doom sayer. They are a vocal minority. Does the game have some problems? Yes, but what game doesn't? I think that the Devs are doing a great job with what they have to work with. I have the LTS and believe me, it's the best money you'll ever spend on this game.

    Thanks that's good to know. Where can I find a list of all the Lifetime Subscription features? I know some but not sure what else there is.

    I don't think there's a current complete list (some items were recently added with DR release and I don't think the official list was updated), but here's the highlights:
    - Ability to play Liberated Borg and Talaxian captains
    - 500 Zen per month "allowance"/"stipend"
    - Access to 2 special ship types (T5 Heavy Destroyer and a small craft, with one of each available for each faction) - these have to still be claimed from shipyard, but will be unlocked as if they were bought with Zen, and the HD gets a free T5U upgrade
    - Free Account Bank slots (with additional slots purchaseable)
    - EC limit raised (this is also available as a separate purchase for those who do not have LTS)
    - Access to the 'Veteran Dilithium Refiner' contact at your homeworld, who will give a 48 hr DOFF mission to refine an extra 1000 dilithium
    - If ignored, raw dilithium in your inventory will refine itself upon login (up to your daily quota, and I'm told it will retroactively apply the quota if you did not log in on the previous day)
    - Free Captain respec tokens added to your promotion mission rewards
    - Access to "Career Officer" forum title

    Ok thanks. I know I can visit the Captain's Table and have the Captain's Yacht as well.

    I've got the Liberated Borg for Federation. I read somewhere that if you start a new game with a Liberated Borg character. When you get/claim your Bridge Officers at the Academy. You will get Liberated Borg Bridge Officers. But for some reason I only got the standard normal Bridge Officers as you get for normal beginners.

    I don't know if I like the Lifetime Subscription much now. There's not much benefits for being a Gold member.

    I would've thought that those that are a Gold Player are entitled to anything latest that is released into the game. Besides the other existing features.

    Being a Liberated Borg Captain means absolutely nothing for the Liberated Borg Bridge Officers and Duty Officers. There is the female Liberated Borg Engineering Bridge Officer from the C-Store, the male Liberated Borg Science Bridge Officer from dying in a certain place in Khitomer Ground STF, and the female Liberated Borg Romulan Science Bridge Officer from the Lobi Store. Romulans also have the male Liberated Borg Reman Tactical Bridge Officer from the Legacy Pack or C-Store and the female Liberated Borg Romulan Intelligence/Science Bridge Officer from the Delta Ops Pack.

    For Liberated Borg duty officers, there are some in the Reputation Store for the Task Force Omega and for critting a rare duty officer assignment.

    My opinion of the Lifetime Subscription is that its value has seriously decreased since the game went F2P. When I got my Lifetime Subscription in Open Beta, it was worth a lot since I saw myself playing this game for years. I bought it for the spend $240 and never have to spend another cent on subscription fees instead of paying over $600 in subscription fees. The playable Liberated Borg captain and other perks were merely a bonus. Now that value is gone due to how players only need to subscribe for a month to get most of the perks of being a subscriber.

    Sorry, but we just get all the Veteran Rewards, the Talaxian and Liberated Borg races, and the 500 Zen Stipend each month. For the Zen Stipend to "pay off" the LTS, you need to wait 3 years and 4 months or 40 months. Being a subscriber sucks in this game sucks compared to other MMOs like SWTOR. That game tries to force their players to be subscribers. With such lousy perks for being a subscriber, it makes STO have one of the best F2P systems out there.

    You could try to contact Billing to see if they can refund your money, but that would mean no Chimera ship, no Android Bridge Officer, no combat EV suits, and no playable Liberated Borg Captain.

    Ok how do I change my Forum username color I've checked the User CP settings but couldn't find it. And also how do I set a title in-game? (Edited nevermind I just Googled it found another thread in forum that had asked the same thing).

    I haven't got the Chimera Heavy Destroyer, FREE Mugato Companion, FREE Android Bridge Officer, FREE Exclusive Costume Piece (Fed): "Jupiter" Uniform Variant because its still marked that I have to pay Zen to unlock it.

    Edited: Sorry I just got mixed up with the normal Jupiter outfit set. Jupiter Variant was unlocked under it. Don't understand why the rest of the Jupiter outfits wasn't part of the Variant ones.

    You have to get the Chimera from a shipyard, it will be free, and you have to be level, uh, 40-50..ish.. I don't remember the ship's minimum level requirement.

    The mugato you get from a vendor on DS9 in the main ring; he'll have one dancing in front of him.

    The android boff you get from the boff vendor on ESD/Qo'noS.

    You Really think so, eh? 6 months until "shutdown"? Where's your proof of this "happening"? Perhaps, you should let players do what they will with their own money instead of suggesting that people are fools to pay for something that you think is stupid.

    To the OP: don't forget that you can create a Talaxian character as well.
