From February 5th at 10AM PST until February 9st, 2015 at 10AM PST, we are having a 20% off sale on the services listed below. Now is the time to purchase these in the C-Store!
Character Slots (4) - Spec trees and upgrading has killed alts... no need for these
Account Shared Bank Slots (10) - These are useful, shame mine are maxed
Bank Slots (12) - As above
Bridge Officer Slots (2) - New boff training system makes its easier to have a smaller crew (which is a GOOD thing)... no need for these
Captain Rename Token - meh
Captain Retrain Token - These are useful, but being a lifer I have loads already
Character Slots (2) - Spec trees and upgrading has killed alts... no need for these
Duty Officer Roster Slots (100) (limit 4) - These are useful, shame mine are maxed
Duty Officer Roster Slots (25) - As above
Inventory Slots (12) - As above
Outfit Slots (2) - personally i havent bought any as I STILL have bugged costume slots on my KDF (from Sphere of Influence - so I don't trust the tailors - Cardassian or otherwise)
Ship Loadout Slots (10) - system STILL doesn't work. don't touch it - please let us opt out
Ship Slots (2) - well given how many ships they keep adding and how each one seems better than the previous incarnation you would think this would be essential - only i dont want new ships I want to upgrade my old ones...
Energy Credit Cap Increase - probably the MOST useful thing here - if you don't already have it - get it
But, what is missing?
Captain Specialisation Respec - you would sell HUNDREDS of them...

To change it would require changing how the databse stores and records info in the first place when a new character is created. That would take a revamp that could profoundly TRIBBLE up millions of characters if it goes wrong.
They've said they won't do this. Too much has already built upon the existing database. Items, stats, traits, all that is built onto the record and chan be tweaked. The main record itself cannot.
Not in its current state, at least, and they won't be revamping that anytime soon.
Nope, spec trees killed mains that have everything. Since you can only run one primary/one second spec at a time, it's dumb to have one character invested in two primaries. Secondaries will be the same once there's another space or ground one as an alternative.
Oh definitely, but I can totally understand why they're opposed to it. Every time a new spec came out, people would just use a token and get everything from it on day one. That's not how they want them to work. They want you playing and working toward a new one. I bet they're not even happy with players like me who sit on their alts' points until a new one comes out.
They said those would never be respec'able because they're a solution to the end-game dilemma of not having enough content (well... they said in not so many words) and if you want you can always put your next spec point wherever you want. It makes no sense to tie so much to these spec points -- passive skills, traits, module purchasing and training abilities for boffs, etc.. then pull the points out when you like. What would happen? Would all your modules disappear, your boffs forget all skills, your stats all revert? I don't think the system is even set up for that kind of behavior. On top of that, it opens the way to major cases of abuse or gaming-the-game if you like.
No, there won't be any spec point retraining tokens, ever. It makes good sense overall, but on top of that it keeps you grinding, which is what they want. Remember, you can always choose where that next point goes.
I think it is time to grind for some more bank slots and bump up total Doff slots on a few of my toons to 400.
Actually... In the last doff upgrade a while back they upped the limit to 500, if I recall.
