I guess you didn't read what I wrote, because if you did you would realize I could care less about a Borg Character, It was the principal of still selling all the Pre-Order Bonuses for less money than the pre-orders where and yet charging more money for lifetime and offering less.

I was fine without the "Borg Character" until a guild mate suggested getting a Red Matter Capacitor, and I could still buy them.

That was My whole point.

Wrong, these were not by any means Pre-Order Only.

Starfleet Shuttlecraft
The First 5 are a standard part of the Digital Deluxe Edition, and the Shuttlecraft was a special De-Taco promotion that can no longer be obtained.
As some one who has told people "No you do not qualify" throughout every promotion we have had so far I assure you this does not work as well as you hope.
This is a response to me, of course. Notice the key words "as well as". This mean, "It works".
Considering the OP of this thread did NOT meet the requirements for the Borg Captain, I would say it works rather well!
He seems to think that this doesn't work, and he is a mod. So someone has false information, I say the MOD cause you have a Borg Captain now.
Did you use this Billing on any other item(s)? Has anyone used this billing on any other item(s)? I want to make a thread helping people get the shinys that they qualify for, so I need to know which items you can "just call billing" to get.

Not just this thread, one on the General forum about it. Guy got his new Borg too, I put links on that page.
This puts it up to 3 known folks that got the Borg this way, is that enough to say that this IS a way to get the Borg?
Just need to know what other items can be received this way. Assuming one meets the qualifications, which is apparently "50% of advertised qualifications" (based on this thread). A MOD post would really help clear this mess up.
Indigo did respond, in the only thread that doesn't have detailed information on what happened. I think I quoted his response earlier, it was something to the effect "It doesn't work as well as you think it does" (Paraphrased)
I asked him about this thread, and gave links (even updated it with the new guy that got his Borg) still waiting on a reply.
EDIT (To Add)
The new guy, just bought his LT membership. According to his OP: http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=159266
(Thread in question, follow it to the end my last post shows the new player and his Borg Captain via the Captain database.)
I apologize, but naturally I am unable to share the particular details surrounding correspondence with one of our customers. However, on a more high level note, I am able to share the following:
1.) The Liberated Borg Captain is for pre-order Lifetime customers
2. ) Our Support Team only grants items to players when they should have received the item, but did not (generally due to some technical issue)
3.) We care very much about our players. We care about individuals, but we also care about being fair to our player base as a whole.
4.) The OP earned the unlock through legitimate means.
In the event that a player tries to scam us, we will generally place their account on a temporary suspension. As always, if the account has a history of previous disciplinary actions, the penalty is increased accordingly.

Pre-Order Starfleet Shuttlecraft from GameAU, Gamestation Gold (uk).
And the Digital Delux Editions <- more then one type was a limited time offer which is still going.
