Hi All and Devs: I like to know when your a Life timer Sub can you add these new option to it please?

1)You can trade bound items to your Alts - only in account bank
2)Maybe 5 Master Keys for monthly reward (so many boxes I have)
3)Maybe 10% off all Zen store items (Exp packs, ships, etc)
4)5% off all Rep commendation items

If anyone else like to add this too go ahead and I hope the devs see this option. I enjoying this great deal, thanks

    1) Account bound items already can be. Character bound items are bound by design and not likely to change.

    2-3) Not going to happen as it would negatively effect revenue.

    4) Not quite sure what you're asking for here, but there are already plenty of discount opportunities in game.

    I think a more logical update would be a lifer ship for the new "factions". Specifically Dominion, and Temporal. I know Dominion has been mentioned as in the works, but I think Temporal should be thrown in, even if its just a skin for the existing model.

    I was half expecting a neverwinter style freemium store package thing that included keys when they killed off monthly subs but surprisingly thats something that seems to have been ignored as a possible revenue stream in favour of the ever stangating ships as content model.

    As for the topic... we get 500 zen a month. There is no Temporal faction, we just have a Discovery and TOS subfaction for Fed, and making a thematic skin for them on top of the Chimera might be difficult due to the transforming nature of the Vet Destroyer. That's a LOT of moving parts they gotta contend with, especially if we include kitbashing capability like we can already do with the T6 Manticore.

    How about one free T6 Ship token for each faction?

    Better species unlock that TRIBBLE Talaxians. Like anyone wants to play those.

    I kinda disagree. I have a Talaxian, and the history of the race is actually kinda neat if you dig into the beta canon. They are not what the example of Neelix would have you think. They are violent and capable. Not to mention as a crafter the ability to pick up materials from anyone I blow up is a boon...

    Part of neelix's back story was that he was trying to escape his past life as a member of the military force defending his homeworld and witnessing the aftermath of the metreon cascade.

    Better to be a talaxian than a tellarite.

    I agree with rattler.

    I do have a Tellarite and they're not so bad. But Pakled...*Shudders*
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    I have a Talaxian KDF Engineering Captain. Did it for Salvage stuff. Seems pretty moot now, though.

    I don't understand the Neelix hate either. I might even consider a Talaxian if I wanted to make another toon.

    drcybertronic5: Maybe 5 Master Keys for monthly reward
    baddmoonrizin: Not going to happen as it would negatively effect revenue.

    (First, gonna assume the suggested 5 keys are BoA.)

    Neverwinter gives a key a day to VIPs, not seeing how 5 a month could do much damage in STO.
    Would 5 keys a month stop the people who buy keys from buying less? I don't know.
    I would think people who are into opening boxes would want to open more than 5 a month.

    Now on the other hand... if there are an extra 1000 boxes being opened each month, that will affect the Exchange. Prices of lockbox items would drop. How much? I don't know. Cryptic has moved all the 'best' ships into R&D boxes so lockboxes are already 2nd tier. Would a few more lockbox ships really crash the market much? Just wildly guessing, but I'd have to say more things on the market for lower prices would be a net positive thing for the game.

    Without knowing the number of keys sold/used each month and the number of LTS players, its hard to know if 5 free keys a month is a significant number of keys into the ecosystem of STO.

    How we know it? I don't remember they said that they will never allow us to change race in future. If they did, can you give the link to the source/post etc. that show/speak about it?

    If you think about it you essentially already do get 5 keys a month, in the form of 500 zen. They just don't sell them in that quantity.

    It's actually been said many times by the devs that, Faction/Race/Sex/Career choices made at character creation are hard-coded and cannot be changed by design.

    Good idea OP I'd take all of it. :p

    What I'd like to see also for lifetimers:

    1) Phone app for doffing admirality and crafting
    2) Access to the unrestricted tailor in the enigma nebula. :#
