    Just for clarification in case anyone didnt know the glaxy-x was called exclusive by a dev

    Before any more pitchforks get handed out... let me offer up some info before you go burning down the village.

    The 3-Nacelle Future Enterprise config will be an exclusive variant of a T5 Galaxy ship we are planning to add to the game as we increase the skillcap at various points in the future. In fact I see plans on the schedule to add T5 versions of the Galaxy, Intrepid, and Defiant class.

    So yes - the Future Enterprise - 3 Nacelle config is an exclusive "variant" and may be the only T5 Galaxy for a while, but there will be ways to get similar ships in the future - they just might not have the 3rd Nacelle - or front mount single phaser cannon.

    you may now go back to your regularly scheduled riot...

    3rd post from bottom he did say exclusive the thread is locked so I can't do a direct quote but you can go see for yourselves

    I can't view your link, it's broken but if what you pasted is accurate then it gives them wiggle room. Nowhere in your pasted quote does it say exclusive to referral members and even the referral page doesn't say that it's exclusive to the referral program.

    " Once you’ve recruited five subscribers, you’ll receive these great rewards:

    * A new title: Master Recruiter
    * A special ship: The Tier 5 "All Good Things" Galaxy Class."

    A lot of things are worded very specifically on offers and I'd be surprised if this wasn't worded very carefully too. No mention of it being exclusive to the referral program and only mentioned as a "great reward" for getting five referrals into the game.

    Might want to tell that to the person who bumped a month dead topic to gloat. Classy!

    No argument about the 'classy' part. But I don't think it's entirely out of bounds to bump month-old threads. That's just borderline necromancy. :) Anything more than that, though, and it starts to become obnoxious thread-necromancy. Serial threadurrections (emphasis on 'dur') is a sign of thread-necrophi-- okay, not going there. Now, resurrecting threads that were last posted in at launch? THAT'S lichdom. :D And the only solution is to KILL IT WITH FIRE.

    Or a moderator with a cat avatar, as the case may be. That works just as well. :D

    Edit: The OP makes a good request. While Cryptic is unlikely to ever respond to it, I still would like to see it.

    All I know is this ... Why would I go out and recruit all those people to get the special galaxy X when all I have to do is wait a bit and buy it in the C-store?

    It's like all the other preorder bonuses that are in the store currently.

    i agree cryptic needs to let us know whats going on because if the exclusives do have a shelf life then i know not to waste monney on them anymore and just wait til they're made available cheaper or ingame

    Exactly why we have heard nothing from Cryptic, they obviously plan on putting so called "exclusives" and rewards on the C Store, they have done so already.. they will do so again..

    Any way to scam a few bucks more...

    But if they do it to the Galaxy X that I earned, then they can burn in hell and Ill make it my lifes mission to post the way they treat the player base anywhere/anyhow I can..

    They already bent me over with the lifetime and pre order "excusives" I HAD, so fool me once .....

    I hate to be that guy but...... recruiting players to the game purely for an item is poor form. If you were already going to get those people you recruited into the game then fair enough but the point is that if you're upset over an item you pushed the game onto others for, perhaps you weren't recruiting for the right reasons.

    Or perhaps we had all the friends we could get playing STO already from before the rewards were offered ?

    Recruiting for the wrong reasons.. and you decide if the reasons are right or wrong for each person ?

    Please keep your posts clean, no need for insults. Cryptic Studios Forum Usage Guidelines ~GM Tiyshen"

    What insult ? Saying a post is idiotic is insulting ?? it was a comment.. gee and you failed to notic the same so called "insult" in the following post ? pfft, like usual the anti Cryptic comments get edited :)

    Idiotic post.

    Whether you had recruited already or not is not the topic here but since you brought it up I'm sure you already know Cryptic said they would look into it.

    I didn't decide on anything, I put forward the idea that recruiting people purely to get an in-game reward is not really in the spirit of recruiting a friend to the game. Did I say any other reason was right or wrong? No. Even if I had that is still only my opinion just as other people have posted their opinion. It's no more idiotic than your ranting over the potential of more things you have going to the C-Store, which I didn't say was idiotic.

    And they will do nothing about it, and everyone wont care anymore now they know for sure that they just have to have a cry and moan and mumy Cryptic will come and dry the tears and give them what they want :)

    And so what if it isnt in the spirit of the game ? really so what ? who does it hurt ? no one. Who does it gain ? everyone.

    I fail to see your point about it, it doesnt matter what the reasons are that someone refers friends, they still get referals ! that is a good thing for Cryptic the money hungry.... and a good thing for us the players as the more subs, the longer the game will be around and the more updates..

    So sorry for thinking it idiotic that someone makes a post that that really didnt have a point IMO :)

    But being upset about having a reward for people that go that little bit further in game given to the masses because they cry and Crptic want more money is idiotic ? ok but i'd call that justified rage more than idiotic :)
