THANKS for the C-Store Mega Update.

Cryptic,

There has been a lot of complaining about all the stuff that went into the C-Store during the "Mega Update." I for one would like to say Thanks. I was very happy to get the MU Uniform and the Enterprise. Also picked up the new Caitian race and the "Gold" (Rivera) Tribble. They're all very nifty.

Some may call me a fanboy for showing appreciation, but I don't care. I am a Trekkie, and I'm enjoying this game. It's got it's problems and bugs, but things are getting better with each update and I'm having a great time overall.

Before this release I had already purchased a Collector's Edition of the game with "exclusives" (Amazon Borg BO, Red Matter, TNG/DS9 Unis) and a Digital Deluxe Download (Joined Trill, TOS unis, NX, Khaaan, Bloodwine, and Automated Defense Battery). It does not bother me that other people can now get these things (the TOS uni for free no less). Additionally I have the Del Taco Shuttle Pet and LTS Liberated Borg. If these show up in the C-Store, I'm ok with that too.

Now if only I could make the Enterprise into a Tier 5 ship, give my Borg BO the "Infected" skin type and Lib Borg implant selection, and give my Lib Borg Captain the Borg BO jumpsuit... That would make me a fanboy! ;)

    Here's to hoping they bring the rest of the stuff into the store. I am still wanting that deflector dish and defense turret.

    Also a thank you from me, I really enjoy getting more goodies. It would be nice to see the rifle and chromodynamic armour and all that stuff for sale as well though, but I'm not complaining. :D

    Yep, I like it, too.

    I actually found that the skirts added a valuable customization option for the females. As sexist as this feels to me.

    Unfortunately, I find it makes the "casual" clothing options stink in comparison. I'd rather wear a DS9/TNG movie uniform (stuff I already had before) with a skirt then the casual options. ;)

    I guess what we need now, to honor Scotty, is a kilt. ;)

    I'm happy as well. Especially since I can fly in my from the Mothballed fleet Constitution now.

    Now if only we could get some pre-TOS weaponry, like railguns and missiles. I think it would be funn having to line up a shot, and watching a slow nuclear missile flying out at a target. :D

    I would also like to say thank you to Cryptic, as I rather enjoyed the possibility to purchase some of the new items founds in the C-Store.

    Even though I purchased the Collector's Edition of STO, it does not bother me that other people now have the option to purchase the TNG/DS9 uniforms, red matter capacitor, and the Borg BO; I actually welcome this idea.

    I think it is a great idea to let more people have more items such as these, I myself loved grabbing the Wrath of Khan uniform since it was free, and am considering purchasing the Khaaan and bloodwine emotes as well.

    Thanks again Cryptic.

    Yes, thank you for adding the items!

    I also had a retail CE and a downloaded CE for more goodies, i don't mind that people can buy these now.

    Still hoping for the Liberated Borg captain to go on the C store :D

    Grt Mike

    I've seen a ton of additional people in game, and the account server is creaking. I think that indicates that most people, including myself, were happy with the new goodies.

    Yes... and with reasonable prices. 800 CP for the TOS Constitution. Ouch. I should have ordered my DDE from Gamestop, though at the time, I didn't see that they had it. I should have searched. *kicks self*

    I must agree with OP. I bought my original copy from Best Buy and I'm very happy to have the golden tribble and the targ pup. If anything, I'm actually happier now that other ppl can have it too! I'm glad that they're releasing the exclusives onto the C-store!! It makes it fair for everyone and lets us know that we know that we don't have to go out and buy 5 different versions of the same game just to some cool items. I like the idea that it's exclusive for a period of time and then available to all. Not everyone can afford to have 5 copies of the game, but I think most (not all), can at least buy a few things from the C-store. Everybody in the game doesn't have deep pockets so it's nice to know that marketing is willing to be generous.

    *applause for Cryptic* :)

    A friend of mine showed me a fun game for my Admiral... Go buy a Runabout from DS9, load it with Admiral Level Weapons/Equipment (Mk X Very Rare if ya got 'em), then go blow up Klingons in DSEs around Sol. Lots of laughs zipping around those baddies and nuking them with your little shuttle. Bonus fun: Load your Del Taco Shuttle Pet in your Runabout and you get a even tinier shuttle to follow you around.

    Yeah, the Off Duty clothing does leave a lot to be desired. I wish they would just let that be a secondary "clothing" slot and we can wear whatever we want. They only give us two (three w/fleet) outfits, I'd love to have more. Even if we have to buy them at the C-Store. :rolleyes:

    Oh and Heck Yeah we need some kilts up in this join!

    I bought the Amazon CE, and got the Gamestop CE for my Dad (for Christmas). Both items cost the same amount. I got the Borg BO, he got the Connie. We were delighted that we'd be able to match up, little did we know he was only going to have to spend $3 ($6 total if he wants Kling Borg BO too later) and I had to spend $10. Lopsided, but I don't really mind so much.

    Clearly Cryptic knows what their fans want the most and which item they'd get the highest profit on. Heh.

    Actually i think 800 CP is good.
    A lot of people voiced concerns that with this C-Store update, sector space would be swarming with TOS connies.
    But because of the high price it has the TOS Connie is still a rare sight.

    Also wanted to voice my thanks for making even more items available on the C-Store.

    A lot of players accrued C-Points on referrals, while others bought them outright. It's good to have more variety in the C-Store, and I think all of the items added have (more or less) an appropriate value to them.

    With the Account server having problems keeping up with players, it appears that these new items have been a big success. Count me as a satisfied player.

    I think the C-Store numbers are going to speak for themselves, but in case they don't... thank you! Keep it up!

    Lets just hope that sales of future promotions can be powered by your enthusiasm instead of by Cryptic's credibility.

    I hear that there has been great activity in the C-Store, which if true is great. I really want a couple of those bridges and the Caitians. If they open up elements from purchased species to the alien creator, i will probably buy all the playable species even if I have no intention of playing most of them.[

    Yeah, I dig that uniform too. To that end I have my captain wearing the available TOS uniform and I've tried to emulate that green. He's been wearing it a while. I just added the MU "belt" (sash) to it. Looks pretty good I think.

    Oh, that would be awesome. If you "unlock" a race, that races's parts (and traits!) should be available to you in the Alien Creator.
