Unless they can come up with a working time machine and go back and stop themselves from putting the Galaxy X up as a referral reward the current opinion of this action will stand.
It is more important what they do now and in the future.
Putting the Galaxy X in the C-Store will please many compared to the few that actually worked to get it, but I think that will hurt them with less sales in the future as people will remember and will never buy in to any more "Exclusives."
In other words, putting the Galaxy X in the C-Store will ruin their exclusives program.
it'll only ruin the exclusives program in the sense that people aren't going to go out and buy 50 different copies of the same game prior to launch in order to get a bunch of pre-order bonuses so that they go around thinking they're all that and a bag of potato chips with their friends.
I wish they had created a brand new ship for the referral program too; Galaxy-X is definitely a fan-favorite ship, and they could have made a killing in sales on the C-Store alone for the thing. But putting it there now will create more problems for them...
You put the Galaxy-X on the C-store, and replace the referral program reward with a new, custom-to-game ship...what do you do about the people who have already gotten their 5 friends (or just dropped $300) and got the ship as a reward? Do you take away the Galaxy and replace it with the new, custom ship? Do you let them keep the Galaxy and award the new ship on top of it? Do you let them keep the Galaxy and say "too bad, you don't get this new toy until you get 5 more friends to play?" It doesn't matter how you slice the cake, there will be people who are not going to be happy with it.
After sometime, months to a year, the Galaxy-X should be made available to all in the C-Store. Most of the QQing is about people who only want, just like the treads on "Should pre-order items be placed in the C-Store". They cannot stand to let someone else have the same items they have. If the items are placed in the C-store the month after, no; down the road YES.
In my opinion they should have created something special for the referal campaign, and not a canon ship. Galaxy-X should be on the C-Store for 800 c-points, just like the original connie.
It would have to be after they release Tier 6 ships which appear to be awhile off, thus making them more a nostalgia thing and giving those who worked for them some play time.
Cryptic benefits from those using this "Equalizer" ship to take the edge off the Klingon and Sci ships in PvP, making the game environment more user friendly.

Um, that ship already sailed last week.
No one will ever trust the word 'exclusive' from Cryptic again, regardless if the Galaxy-X hits the C-Store. Also, I don't think they ever said the Galaxy was exclusive.

If you read this thread and all the others wanting stuff in the cstore it seems there are far more criers that want stuff either the easy way or the cheap way than those want to keep stuff exclusive. It has nothing to do with sharing our items thats a cop out that people use as an excuse to justify trying to get something that people either paid alot of money for or worked hard to get

And people like you are the ones who want to keep items to themselves BELIEVING that Cryptic owes you something. The truth is is that Cryptic fooled you into doing their dirty work. They have done this numerous times in the past and are sure to do it again in the future. Lesson learned? For some of you yes, for others no.
BUT IF YOU HAPPENED TO HAVE READ MY POST, it states that EVENTUALLY the items should be available in the C-store AT a cost. If people cannot live with that then QQ a water world because it is going to happen no matter how hard you cry. Cryptic is a business and sell items in the C-Store is a part of that business.
I think it was unfair to place a ship that already had a fan following as an exclusive reward. I started playing this game on the off chance that the Galaxy Refit would be in it. So far the only reason I have posted on the forums was to push for it being put in the game. I think the fair thing to do would be to create a new ship for the reward and put the Galaxy X in the C-store for a 1,000 points or so. I convinced all of my friends that would consider playing STO to do so already (one even got the game before me), so if it ends up as a referral reward only, it would be nice if retroactive referrals could be instituted in some way. I'm truly not complaining that other players are getting something that I'm not, it's just that ever since I saw all good things I've been in love with the ship. As a side note, since I have admittedly not given much feedback on the forums, the "Shaka when the walls fell" emote was pure brilliance and overall the game is awesome.

Again if you could read and comprehend what my post stated it's not that we want to keep them to ourselves it's that we want people to have to do what we've done to get them. Again "the you don't want to share" is just an excuse for people that want something and don't want to do what's required to obtain the item. No it should never be on the ctore cryptic has never put a time limit on when the referal program will end so why does it need to be there? People generally meet somone new everyday of their lives not all are going to be star trek fans of course but some might and be willing to try out it. As far as the lesson goes I already had my 5 recruits when they put the preorder stuff in the cstore so it was alittle late to do anything about it at that point but yes lesson learned. I do believe that some stuff should not go to the cstore not everyone needs to have all the same stuff.
I like that its a rare and hard to get item, but i know full well it will be up there before long.
In my personal option the c-store is screwed up to begin with (yes i know its a mute argument and there have been massive rants before about it)
I have no problem with things like re-specs/name changes etc being on sale...but 99% of the other stuff is content, even it is just different skins, and as a result should just be in the game. All the c-store is missing is items to boost XP gain for X amount of time, then it will be identical to the perfect world's store, a microtransaction game
As for the "exclusive items" they should be made into vet rewards, including the X (the 12 month mark would be cool)
You want a cookie or something???
Maybe a tissue???
How about a Whinny Burger and some Frech Cries???
Because that is all you are doing. Suck it up and get on with you life. If you are so irritated at cryptic, are are more that able to not comeback.
The first step to recover is admitance, go you can say it "I was fool, I am a Dope, and yet I feel I deserve something SPECIAL because my mommy says I'm special"
You can say it over and over again if it makes you feel better.
Obviously you're one who cries I want what others have but I'm not willing to work for it should I call you a waambulance
would you like whinekin
talk about feeling special you must be from the everyone gets something crowd when you played a game as a kid did everyone get a trophy riboon etc.? Life doesnt work that way get used to it you'll be better off

Just as all the criers out there come here and whine I want this and that. At a cost what a joke for pennies on the dollar. The have nots always outnumber the haves works like that in real life and here if cryptic gave us a piece of lint for put on our shirt someone would come here and cry about it. That's how petty people are.

Obviously some people will be upset, and that is a shame. However, the real question is whether the amount of people who would actually cancel(rather than just complain) would equate to more money that the purchases of the item from the store. It would be interesting to know how it has panned out with the recent C-store additions, though Cryptic will obviously never give us that info. I have no doubt that some people canceled over this, but I also have no doubt that alot of items have been sold.
You mean there are folks who cancelled because I can has what they has from the C-Store??!! :eek:
Really I do not want to see this in the C-store. Yes I am getting this in about 25 days or so. However I would not mind to see this ship "EARNED" This ship should remain rare along with any other dreadnoughts. I am not sure how to go about it. Maybe a fleet action on hard or higher difficulty setting where the purple item is a pieace of purple plans for a dreadnought. Also make it so it doesn't drop everytime. I think this would be better and mean more than just another c-store item where I can buy it for $10.00. Just throwing an idea out there.
Yes it should stay exclusive it's too bad so many feel they have to have everything in the game talk about greedy
I dont feel I have to have everything in the game; in fact, I dont even want the Gal-X. But I DO think it should be in the C-store for those that do. Does that make me greedy?

It's hard to believe that someone that doesnt want it has made so many threads about it just curious what is your obsession with everything in the cstore?

Attacking someone wow that's a valid argument
personally i don't have it and don't intend on trying to get it so i don't care.
You mean there are folks who cancelled because I can has what they has from the C-Store??!! :eek:
I'm sure some people did, though I doubt it is actually very many. Most just complain on the forums but keep playing.
Well said cheers!

The truly funny thing is your joke answer rather than a "serious" answer only proves my point was right
