    One of the devs said the other day that they are working on adding more stuff to the C-Store soon. Sounds like additional character slots and respecs are on the list. I'd imagine new races will show up soon, and if we're lucky, maybe some new playable factions in the future.

    Personally I'd also like more special edition type ships. Why not an Excelsior or Excelsior Refit class? Or Oberth class?

    Or new custom bridge officers, where you get to build your custom XO "Number One" from the ground up like you do with your playable characters, set the race, appearance, uniform, background AND get to choose from the entire skills catalog which ground and space skills they have for all 5 ranks they can hold? And make the XO special with the abiltiy to use a kit or something like that the normal bridge officers cant do.

    I'm not interested in extra slots right now. I'm still not even a Captain yet. Until I hit the level cap and have my tier 5 ship I dont think i'll be working on a second character, so why do I need more slots?

    Where is the link for dollars to c-point conversion?

    I hope the pre-order stuff comes out eventually on there, I'd like to have the TOS uniforms at less than buying a collector's edition.

    Not sure what they could put in at the moment the need to concentrate on getting a few things right before more add ons should be put in but some new ships and races would be nice.

    They could also do with finishing the Klingon side of things first

    $6.95 for 500. More information in My Account, you can buy more but the most you can spend right now is 320.

    I hope somethings will be give via monthly updates and not through the stores.

    Things I am ok to pay for:

    - Uniforms (TOS uniforms, I want, not $50 want though :) )
    - Character Slots (I plan to buy some if reasonably priced)
    - Races
    - Ships (as long a only cosmetically different from existing ships)
    - Ship storage slots
    - Bank Storage slots
    - Name, Race and Gender Changes
    All things purchased should be locked to account.

    Things I am not ok with Cryptic Selling:
    - Credits, or any other item used to by things
    - High end equipment, no problem with Uncommon level items
    - Experience, count or bonuses
    - More performance slots.
    - Weapon Colorization (only because it was already in game and removed)

    Playable Borg! I really hope this gets added. Yeah, I know the lifers got it for plunking down their money first, but they also got a significant discount. 1000 cpoints would be reasonable. Hell, I'll gladly trade my Enterprise for that. Any takers? Authentic Enterprise for Playable Borg?

    I heard a rumor that caitians are coming in about a month or so.
    Likely to the C store.
    Hope you saved some Cryptic Points.

    Yeah I keep checking c store as well to see if anything new has been added. I'd like more hair options, clothing, ships, and maybe a ship retrofit or something that allows me to convert my t2 constitution to t3 stats.

    So far Klingon and Ferengi have not been enough of an enticement, but perhaps if they added some racial specific items like a sash for klingons or maybe when your Ferengi was idle he would spout of rules of acquisition. There has to be a hook.

    The C-Store will expand after all the pre-orders and early purchasers that received C-Store points as a bonus have had to pay for their next month's service. No point in giving them something to spend bonus points on until after they've handed over another $15...

    Well, going by their established pattern to-date you'll likely see uniform options, playable races, character slots, uniform slots and one of the means for respecs in there at some point. Name changes are possible but race and gender changes are a bit more fundamental than they've gone with in the past. We may also see some more ship customization options since that's our character about half the time as it is. They have a mechanism for increasing storage slots and I think a certain degree of that would be a good idea.

    We're almost certain to not see Energy Credits or Skill Points in the C-Store and it just wouldn't make sense to put any high end equipment in there either.

    As to putting any of the perk items into the C-Store, we may well see that but not for a while so as to give the people who shelled out for them a while to have their goodies exclusively and I would expect things like the Liberated Borg Captain or BO to be very pricey as well as the Joined Trill if those ever winds up in there.

    Obvious candidates are all the pre-order bonus items.

    I don't mind cosmetic items eventually being on the store, but as limited as the cosmetic options are currently (especially Females and the Klingon faction) there shouldn't be any cosmetic options for a good while till they add some of the missing options that didn't make it in at launch.

    New ships would be great. First Contact Vulcan ships, Andorian ships from Enterprise, Futuristic 3 nacelle Galaxy class ships from TNG. The retro fit is a great idea, making a Miranda hold more consoles, outfit weapons like an escort, faster speeds, more hull, larger crews... all these I would pay for. Individuality over game mechanics would be ideal, but I'd be happy with a hybrid.

    Instead of pimping out 60 days of free game play, how about some C-Store points for items like these to existing players on a veteran type reward system OR for returning players as an incentive. Come back and get x amount of points... course none of this means anything without the changes you suggested.

    s if they added some racial specific items like a sash for klingons

    (AFAIK) This is already ingame for IKS Klingons, they gain new ones as they rank up.

    Undoubtably they can do a veterans reward, every 2-3 months like on galaxies, idk if other mmos doe this as runescape(not realy an mmo but sort of) and 10 days of WOW and 6 years of galaxies are the only mmo's i have personally played.

    this would be incentive to come back regularly besides all the eye candy. also i would llike to see something like a tcg type of in game game that has rare reward items in random decks that you are gauranteed every fifth deck of cards, with 5 free packs each month. after all there is allready a few RL TCG games for star trek so why not an electronic one?

    Respecs(plz god plz make this soooooon!)
    Orions as Boffs for the Federation side.
    Maybe something to wear for whenever you decide to go to Risa.

    I'd like to see the TR-116 rifle as a buyable item. I get sick of enemies in PVE and PVP during ground fights who dive behind cover and spam their science skills which dont require Line of Sight. If i can snipe them through walls, makes things even again :)

    I expect you'll find a lot of people who will object to pre-order and special subscription plan items being offered in the C-Store. While I expect to see those appear at some time, obviously the timing of their release and the pricing applied is likely to be a hotly discussed topic. Look for more drama!
