    You probably need to ask Amazon about that. It basically depends if they still have the copies with the BO code still in stock and if you order it, they ship you one of those instead of the post-release ones.

    The Borg BO should still be there.

    We have the bonuses tied to the keys given to the retailers themselves. So *theoretically* no matter when you buy the game from a retailer you will get the bonus item.

    I would say that if you buy the game from amazon and DON'T get the borg BO that you should submit a ticket so we can get it sorted.

    On a somewhat related note, i have managed to get 3 borg BOs on the same character, which as i understand it shouldn't happen (very esily i might add), further information and Bug ticket number can be found on: http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?p=2366155#post2366155

    You have 3 but you can only claim one right? It says you already have one in your inventory if you try to claim the 2nd or 3rd?

    I've been able to claim and get the token, but they refuse to join my crew with my original one in place.

    I would hazard a guess that the officer is unique, as stated on her description, but not the token so that if we discharge the borg in error we can replace them with another token.

    I think they did this because some people didnt get it while some did. So they just gave everyone another one. Thing is ya you can only use one at a time. Same thing happened with my perks in the c-store. I had dupes of everything but I couldnt claim any of it because I already have it in my inventory.

    a friend of mine bought from amazon before launch and got screwed cuz amazon didnt have anymore borg bridge officer codes so they sent him a collectors edition from target its in the fine print that they can do that so i would guess they dont have anymore

    You know this really kills the whole "pre-order" bonus.

    If you guys are going to be giving out Borg Boffs for anybody who buys it from Amazon at any point in time. I'm just about ****ed that I even bothered to support cryptic and rushed to order the game on launch.

    Seriously?? I would have just been content with cancelling my pre-order and waited a year later when prices drop +90 days free- and get Borg Boff.

    this is very disappointing paying for 2 preorders at full price and I'm not even making use of my 60 days game time.

    garbage. real garbage. very displeased with this information.

    Originally you could only claim one of the retail bonuses per character.

    What we found is that people kept accidentally training away their borg BO, or discharging their constitution class ship, selling their target rifle and so forth.

    We weren't sure what to do about this, we warned that you could only claim it once, but that doesn't mean it was fair to lose your bonus item that you bought that version of the game for.

    So what we did was go in and reset the "one time ever" to "once at a time."
    Initially it only looked for important things like the skill points, and ignored the other items. So you could get multiple target guns and multiple borg BOs (though you could still only assign one to yourself).

    I think we have it sorted it out now so you can only claim one at a time, and you can not claim another until you delete the first one.

    I'll chime in here and add that I have uncovered a bit of a bug where I cannot reclaim my Automated Defense Turret, even though my original was discarded long ago. I have submitted a ticket on it, #732321.

    There's no rush on this, as I consider it a minor issue for myself, but there may be others suffering from the same problem.

    What a bout people who want a borg BO after all there is nothing in the c store untill the patch is on.

    there is a lot of bonus that some people want so they buy all boxes so they can have it.

    If Amazon bought thousands of STO boxes that had the Borg BO code inside and STILL have some of those boxes to ship out to customers then those customers have a chance to obtain the Borg BO through a legitimate purchase. :)

    You should be displeased with your self and not the information. :(

    Whoah. So I have a collector's edition and a digital deluxe edition. Are you saying that I can only have one character with a Red Matter Capacitor and Automated Defense Turret? I have them on each character. Is this changing? I'm completely confused after your post. Or was this just on one character we're talking about? Thanks.

    Also, you guys let Red Matter Capacitors replicated like mad a couple weeks ago. Why couldn't I get one for every ship I have now when people did it before?

    No, no no. You can only have one RMC or ADT at any time. In order to get a second RMC or ADT, you'd have to delete the first one.

    You can still have one of each.

    Per character or per account?

    FINALLY... a yellow name spoke on this because too many were asking without getting a response on the forums from an official name.
