I'm really lookin forward to respecs and extra character slots, and would be willing to purchase more credits in advance but I don't want to buy more than I need.
According to
http://champions-online.com/store
4 character slots is 1200 credits.
A single respec is 1000 credits.
Costumes average 280 credits.
Are these prices going to be similar to STO prices? Also, the 4 character slots doesn't mention a limit. (yeah I can have an army of aliens).

Any better answer will have to come from Cryptic and I think there response, at this time, would likely be "We haven't decided yet".
CO is a good place to start. I think STO prices will *probably* be in line with what you see there but no more certain information is available at this time.
And remember they get 4 but they started out with 8 (lifers got 16). So with STO having a smaller starting number, I would suspect the amount we can buy per transaction would be less than 4.
I guess we'll see...
Funny - we're working on nailing this down today. : )
For the most part - prices will end up being different that CO. The game is different, both functionally and technically. Some things are cheaper, some aren't. Some things are more important, some aren't.
We've said it before - there will be a moderately priced in-game currency respec option. If we have one available for MT, it'll be because would rather use their in-game currency for something else.

thats a really downer for me as I love to respec but dont like to dishout for in game stores
(I havent even used my free points given to me)
You DO realize he said using IN-GAME currency for respec, don't you?
Just a hunch, but I'd expect it to be Starfleet merits. ("You've earned a slot in the Advanced Training Program.")
Still in-game currency.
Thanks for adding some real info on this topic. I don't think anyone assumed the prices for things in this game HAD to be exactly what they are in CO. On the other hand barring any other info I think it's reasonable to assume that you'll be using CO as a good starting point.
This is good to hear. I don't think most people would really mind if there was a secondary MT respec option as long as there's a in-game currency option as a default.
In game currency for respecs im all for. That will probably be my number 1 expence in game
Now extra character slots, sure I can see that as a c-store option and it probably would be somewhere along the lines of what you were talking about there though it would be nice to get some feedback from cryptic on this.
i would also suggest any major changes (in like a patch) to the possible specs major changes in the skills that there is a re-spec as the patch goes live that way if something that works in a spec but is changed with a patch the person can reapply those points to new spots to make everything work again.

As far as things that don't matter to actual game-play, I think those are OK for people to spend real money on. Also I suggest there be new free things for us lifetime subscribers besides extra char. slots and a borg char. It would be nice to see occasional thank you and we thought about you.
This of course from the Cryptic dev person on page one indicating there will be an in game currency way to respec.
you hit r-adm 45 and thats all there is then be expected to spend REAL money to respec is hogwash.
I hope this is not heading in direction of those Free mmo's where if you want to improve you need to break out visa card>:mad:
You did read the post that said plainly you *could* use in-game currency (Starfleet Merits, whatever) and that the C-Store purchase was merely an additional option, did you not?
