    Ok, so can we please get some info on this soon. I'm a little annoyed since last weekend, an emergency Q&A Hologram GM appeared in Earth Spacdock and was taking questions, one of the questions lobbed at her was if we were going to see the Galaxy-X in the C-Store someday, to which she replyed, by July 1st. After three hours of downtime, no such luck and I've been sitting on money for this I could spend on something else, but I really want this, yet if I'm going to have to wait a weeks or months, I'd like to know.

    actually, the ship is out now, just not on the C-Store, to get it, you have to get 5 people to buy a subscrition to STO by via Buddy Codes, then you get it, but they have to subscribe to STO and buy the full version in order to work

    is anyone else getting a regular newsletter or is it sparse? cause I'm signed up for it, but I'm not getting anything, I think.

    Once every nice rainy day on Vulcan.

    as I said, I'm wanting to know when it's supposed to really hit the store, and a GM gave a date in-game that wasn't true

    Neither confirming or denying what you saw but 1st July is 24 hours and there's still a large part of the day left in STO land so while it might not happen it could still happen.

    Wodner how much it'll be. I also wonder if this "ship costume" American independence day discount thing affects the Galaxy-X and TOS Constitution class.

    Cost = 2000CP + a lot of players' trust in future promotions

    Haha, wow, that's awful. Was going to get it, but that amount of money for a pretty ugly ship isn't really worth it.

    Why am I restricted from buying the X? I am not a RA but I should at lest be able to buy it not and have it unlocked when I get my RA. So far its been a waste of $25 in C Store points....

    Why am I restricted from purchasing the Galaxy X? Do you have to be a Rear Admiral even though it is a Captain level / Galaxy class ship?

    Actually you have to be a rear admiral cause it is actually a T5 ship not a T4

    OK,

    So I bought the Galaxy-X from C-Store... it appears in your inventory.

    Any help appreciated.

    you ckick it, and it moves to your ship inventory. if it doesn't you have too many ships and you need to decommission one. You then need to make it your current ship.

    Hope this helps.

    It says in the C-Store (https://www.startrekonline.com/user/37973/cryptic_store )

    Note: You must be a Vice Admiral to purchase this ship.

    uuuh?

    That's GOT to be a typo. It should say REAR Admiral, 'cause, you know, people can use it now.

    we should be able to purchase it at any rank? no other item is rank restricted? we just cannot use it until RA rank is achieved, maybe I should call and get a refund for my Cryptic Points? Fix this Cryptic this restriction was not discussed with the community or approved of.

    I, too, may find it odd that you can't purchase it until a certain rank, but Cryptic is not obligated to have the community approve of anything, really (nor do they have to have discuss everything with us).

    Then again, the C-Store web pages says you have to be a Vice Admiral to buy it (which is clearly a typo, but I'm sure some people will cry 'false advertisement').

    that was always on the ship even when it was briefly exclusive to the RAF. people complained they wanted it in the c-store, now more people are complaining that they want it changed. you can't get other t5 ships before ra1 why should this one be different?

    I will say this is making a mountain out of a molehill. It can not be used until RA, and cannot be purchased until RA, The system WORKS

    Scaling molehills are some people's specialty.

    Just be sure to inform them ahead of time to bring a safety harness and plan a route down.

    Cryptic can do as they please because that is what you told me during the discussion on Pre-Order Exclusives on the C-Store. And before you get angry you should do what you kept telling the people who got their exclusives taken away and RESEARCH before you buy. According to a FAQ that Cryptic links to

    Galaxy X Dreadnought Cruiser FAQ

    Thanks for your interest in the most sought after ship in the galaxy! Read on to learn more about the Galaxy-X Dreadnought Cruiser, and how you can obtain it!

    What is the Galaxy-X Dreadnought Cruiser?

    Commonly referred to simply as the "Galaxy-X", the Galaxy-X Federation Dreadnought Cruiser is a Tier 5 ship, designed after unique Federation vessel seen in the episode All Good Things.
    Players will generally refer to this ship as the "Galaxy-X", the "Dreadnought", or the "Federation Dreadnought Cruiser." - these are all the same ship, it just has a lot of cool names people have given it.

    How can I obtain the Ship?
    The ship can be obtained in two ways:
    Referring 5 accounts via our Referral Program will earn you the title of Master Recruiter, which will allow you to claim the ship for free in the C-Store.
    The ship can be purchased in the C-Store.

    Where can I find the ship in the C-Store?
    Both Master Recruiters and first time purchasers can find the Galaxy-X in the "Ships" section of the C-Store. For first time buyers, you can click "Purchase" to obtain the ship. If you are a Master Recruiter, the button will be labeled "Claim Free Item."

    After I've earned or purchased the Galaxy-X, can I unlock it on multiple characters?

    Yes, visit the Special Unlocks tab to claim the ship for all eligible characters.


    Which characters can use the ship?

    Federation characters at level RA5 or greater.


    So you didn't properly research and you got screwed. Funny how it sucks when it happens to you. Something tells me you are the one with the sense of entitlement. :cool:

    I did do my research, and nothing indicated that a purchase would be restricted until the Rear or Vice Admiral levels only the USE OF thank you, this was an unforeseeable restriction until the actual release, and one more note of research Cryptic will refund your purchases within 30 days.

    It is not that is not good enough, the fact of the matter they did not disclose restriction details in the advertisement, and in the news letter release as per email they included all current variants in the 20% discount. Legally in most states these things are required to keep State Attorney Generals from suing a corporation on behalf of its constituents.

    Thank you.
