Now some of the pre-order/bonus items are in the C-store, when can we expect to see the remaining items in the store?
When can I get my hands on those goodies?
- Red Matter Capacitor
- Automated Defense Battery
- Multi-Spatial Personal Shield
- Chromodynamic Armor
- Neodymium Deflector Dish
- The TR-116 Ground Rifle
- Starfleet Shuttlecraft
- Radiometric Converter
- Light Phaser Satellite Turret
- Constitution Class Ship
- Borg Bridge Officer
- Tribble

The Targ doesn't do anything but follow you around. Not sure how that qualifies as "gameplay affecting"?
I've been told it would be for the good of the game if thngs went up for sale. So if that were true then putting everything up will only be better.
True, the Targ does nothing useful for gameplay, however, it was originally one bonus; Targ for Klingons and Tribble for Federation. The fact the Klingon bonus does nothing doesn't detract that the Federation one does. (Damage Resist, Bonus Damage, Regeneration buffs).
Just to stop quibbling though, I will remove it from the original post.

The Class 8 (Del Taco) Shuttle is also a preorder for Orders from Gamestation UK.
Liberated Borg, as it will sell very good i guess, at least as good as caitian, if not better (also it's a deal that should have never been removed from lifetime-sub).
I don't think that Referral Items will ever hit the c-store, since they, like tribble of borg or the tamarian badges/titles are reserved for special ocassions and have to be earned (not bought! and yes, i know that there are some people who "buys" their referrals instead of "earning" them. They exploit the system.).
I couldn't get the Del Taco suttle no Del taco's in my area, but I certainly would like one.
The reason I think Referral items should be added to the C-store is to make it fair to many people who brought people to the game prior to there being such a program. Those people did it then obviously weren't doing it for selfish reasons and it would be nice to offer it to them as well.
The people who really brought in people (as opposed to 'buying' them) during the program don't lose out. They still get 400 C-points for every person they brought in. That benefit multiplies in comparison to the people who have to spend points for those items.
That doesn't mean the items have to be cheap. 1000 c-points would be very fair for the Galaxy. The Holo-BO can be priced like the Borg one.
They all need to be in the C-Store out of fairness if nothing else. Why are some people being allowed to hold onto their exclusives and not others?? Cryptic says its because a majority of the players requested those items.
We're now requesting the rest. Make it so.
EDIT:
I also agree on adding the Referral Rewards to the C-Store. Cryptic is accepting payment from anyone who buys extra retail boxes and subs for themselves. People who do that are rewarded the same as the folks who are recruiting friends.
Cryptic could have put measures in place to enforce the spirit of the RAF Program but they chose not to. RAF rewards are exclusive so this is the same as buying a CO LTS for Mirror Uniforms. A majority of players want the Galaxy-X to be in the C-Store so make this happen as you did for all the other exclusive items you're now selling to everyone.
That'll teach me to preorder to get "exclusive" items. Should've known better.
I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, the damage is already done. And I say to put EVERYTHING else up, including the Galaxy-X and Liberated Borg. As another person mentioned above, fair is fair.
