Hay people, im not ganna start ranting and protesting about how we have been treated in headstart, instead im starting a thread to try and get Cryptic to give us as headstart players (exspecially lifers who's borg chars messed up, and those that paid the lifetime on champions to get into openbeta and everything else and have been let down) something free in-game either via C-store or an account addon to make up for all the down time. something only for headstarters to say thanks for sticking with them through the good and the bad (mostly bad)
come on cryptic u owe us :-)
so please post all your ideas in this thread and hope and pray that Cryptic loves us enough!
heres a couple to get you started:
1. a special lvl 1-11 Enterprise NX-01 with slightly better stats then the begginer ship we have now, this could become playable after tutorial when you customize your ship for the first time. this should be unlocked on all chars we want in the future when creating alts ( the NX-01 is from the captian Archer series for those who dont know)
2. Headstart ship custimization set, only ever availbable to headstarters and those in openbeta, avalible on all teirs for each class

Do you REALLY want something free from a company that's this incompetent?
I took it in stride earlier today when the server was jammed up, but I just got booted, and cant get back in. I was worried when I heard there was only one server, sounded like wishful thinking, but now it really seems like it is going to be an issue. It is going to be a mess on Tuesday when the game hits the streets. A little tidbit to make it up to us that had time set aside for the head start seems in order.
As headstart was a bonus to the preorder a bonus for the bonus being offline for patches makes as much sense as a panda on a tricycle.
we all know that headstart is as much a bonus for Cryptic as for us as they still get to troubleshoot. i dont wanna make another thread were people are complaining all the time so lets drop all of those comments, if you have an idea post it and pray! if not, move on!
Personal note in responce to the above quote, i payed life time, and my borg char wasnt givin to me untill yesterday, thats just shabby, so i figure all of us who were let down after shelling out £170 or $230 deserve a little perk just for that, let alone the amount of downtime - im ganna stop complaining now..
No, they really don't. Did anyone believe that we'd have servers up 24/7 during head start? They've been up and down all through open beta. It's a shame, but it's what you should realistically expect at this point.
1) Allow all pre-orders to choose a minimum of THREE RARE or UNIQUE quality items (whether it be for ground or space, and includes the Bridge Officers (maybe limit of one BO)); this would be for any characters created before launch day.
2) Everyone who pre-ordered would get 20k energy credits, as well as 1000 bonus skill points, 500 BO points, and 200 Merits.
3) Give a MINIMUM of a three grade promotion, to make up for SOME of the time lost in headstart (this would mean they would also need to give the necessary skill points, which would be available on login on the official launch day).
Those are some on my thoughts on this. I just hope Cryptic remembers, unhappy customers are not customers for long. They WILL go to a competitor when they think it might be a better experience, or even out of spite if you make them mad enough.

then they should have made open beta longer, because when you remove the word "beta" it stops being a test you see.. hence headstart should be 98% the final productand thats only because it is an MMO and its online, otherwise as a custermer i would expect 100% by now. this isnt normal m8, accept it.

That is true to some extent. I'm mainly here because SWG has been nerfed so badly so many times.
realistically im thinking maybe 3000 crypitc points to spend on upgrades when they come out
Dude seriously? Atari only gives 500 for ordering the game. I will say though... hey Cryptic how about 500 points for your buddies and we'll all stop *****ing. Well I will anyway. Some were just born to troll.
They didn't compensate anyone for the closed beta fiasco. What makes you think they give a rats TRIBBLE about your complaints now?
they probably dont, but seeing as the star trek community is a very loyal one (one hopes) it would just be nice for them to say "thanks for staying with us throught the good and the bad, heres a playable Romulan Warbird with 50 Quantum torpedo bays..."

Funny thing was, my trader used to sell as many of those as I could get in stock - go figure...

lets just post ideas and beg cryptic ok
LOLOL....bonus......ROTFLHAO.....BONUS oh is that what this is called?!
That's funny I though this was called "passing the time ranting on the forums".
Or was the bonus the "standing in line at six flags for 4 hours to ride a ride, and then having them close the ride RIGHT before you get on".
You mean THAT bonus?
Bonus.....please....
lol love it
Except that is EXACTLY what you did ....:rolleyes:

i think the best thing ever would be a federation cloacking device exclusive for us
hahahahaha
Makes perfect sense to me

anyways back to the freebies!!!!
