I am very curious what type of things Cryptic is planning to add to the C-Store, and when we should expect to see those them.
So far, the only C-Store items are the playable Ferengi and Klingon Federation races, both of which I've bought.
I don't suppose anyone official is willing to give us a few hints as to what sort of things we may see added in the not too distant future **cough**Orion Slave Girl BOs**cough**

Give me a respec........ How the hell i put 2 points in Plasma Weaps I am not sure, but I need to UNDO that post haste.
Well, she'd be a FREED slave.
See my avatar. There are Orions in Starfleet, even if Orion is not a member of the Federation. Well, in STO Starfleet is littered with Ferengi and Klingons, so why not at least let me have an Orion BO, let alone play as one on the Federation side?
And yes, I'd pay for it through the C-Store.
- Extra ship "parts". Some parts for certain ship classes that we can get to make the ship more unique. This would also open up the option for other cannon ships. Excelsior?
- More unique bridges.
- Catsuit like outfits. (Seven of Nine's - T'Pol's - Dianna Troi's etc)
I would like to see purely aesthetic features added to the C-Store, if not given away for free.
I'll do you one better:
Jedis.
That'll really stir up some bitter ex-SWG players.
The CE players would feel screwed if they implemented them right away. We probably won't see this for some time.
Neither of those uniforms came with the CE. I have the CE.
Oops. For some reason, I read Enterprise as TNG. Secretly because I don't acknowledge Enterprise ever existed.
No, jk. Enterprise was alright.
I'd like to see this too, then.
Not a helpful statement.
Please tell us what you think there should be instead of fed content. That would be productive.
Ill start you out.
There is already a lot of nice stuff on the fed side already. I would prefer to see ........(insert your proposal here)
........What? Sigh....
LOOK at the avatar of the person you are responding too. Go ahead. Look. What do you see?
Thats an Orion woman wearing.....whats that? Ummm.....hmmmm......
So now you can be sure. :rolleyes:
The less stuff I see in the stupid C Store the happier I am. The more I see gets added to the game that my monthly charge includes? The happier I'll be.
I'll agree with you there. But I think some things can be offered via the C-store. I don't think its as bad as an idea as a lot of people think.
I think an example of something nice that could be offered in the C-store would be a fleet headquarters based out of earth space dock. There could be a turbo lift doors leading to your fleet HQs. It would be the same door for everyone. Just everyone belonging to a particular fleet would be assigned their own instanced HQ style room.You could decorate your HQs with items that would then cost EC. HQ would have a main briefing room an officers lounge and perhaps a fleet leaders ready room and transporter pad. there could be trophies created to show your fleets achievements, pets that roam around or even a holodeck for running fleet exercises, dueling each other ect.
That's called a guild hall in most other MMOs that have them. I have yet to play an MMO that charged you RMT for a guild hall.
Yeap. I didn't call it a guild hall since they are refereed to fleets in this game. So a fleet HQ seemed more appropriate. But yeah some games have them. Only other MMO I ever player though was WOW and they didn't have Guild Halls at all. I quit WOW about 8 months ago so maybe they have them now.
I remember getting my first epic mount in WOW. Took me two weeks of just grinding the same mobs and farming mining nodes just to get the 5000 gold to get it. It was nice when I got it but I wish I could have spent that time playing the game. The grind was grueling and I never did it again. I wish wow had a MT set up to purchase an epic mount. Would have saved me 2 weeks of boredom. Although an epic mount is a show off item as well where a fleet HQ is something only your fleet is going to see. So with that, grinding for weeks on end to get the millions of EC it would cost seems awful. I would prefer something like that to be offered via MT in the C-store.
Stores should have cards you can buy with a code to scratch off. Most other MMO's have them for Micro transaction currency.
Really? Cryptic should be more clear on how to purchase Cryptic Points.
I want an Orion Slave Girl BO complete with a set of different revealing outfits/costumes. Make it so, Cryptic.
I am not kidding, either.
I agree 100%...er...uh, but they should be "freed" slave girls.
And you are the dashing Starfleet Captain who freed her.
And she's really, really, really, grateful...;)
I'd like to see Holograms get special mechanics. However...
If they want to keep it simple, it would be a blue quality Science Officer trained in medical skills. It would get two racial traits. One enhances ability to dodge phaser fire. The other being "Efficient" to convey that they were designed for a specific task and are synched with the ship's computers.
Holograms would get the full range of custom "alien" options and possibly Hologram-only costume options down the line, enabling you to use a Moriarty, an Einstein, a Da Vinci, etc.
A hologram would get all the normal stances for options but would ALSO get hologram versions of every stance which would include the blue holo "flicker" that the tutorial EMH has.
- additional ship models
- various ship parts for cosmetic changes to ships
- uniforms
- etc.
One that I would not be surprised to see (since it's in the engine) would be the ability to buy different colours for weapons and such too.
Anyhow... back to watching the Olympics!
Cheers!

I don't think they will add much more...after all every time anything is added the Buzzkill welfare crowd whines about it.
The C store could be somthing amazing. Mores the pity.
