Is it possible to gift c-store points to other players in game? We'd like to give them out as fleet rewards.

    Great in theory - likely to be a fiasco in practice.

    Games where I have seen this normally have a high rate of fraud associated with this. Basically Person A buys 'points' for person B in exchange for some in-game item. Then they go cancel it on their card and Cryptic is left holding the bill....

    Okay maybe that is not so bad - JUST KIDDING!!!!! :)

    Frankly I would like to see the ability to pre-pay someone's account as a gift. I have a few friends that are fanatical Star Trek fans that are seriously drolling to get in the game and play. However, the economy as it is, they need to spend money on other things (like rent). This would be a great way to get them in the game without the liabilty of having another account to pay.

    This feature already exists in a way via the game time cards. You could go and buy a card and send it to them or send them the key.

    We've got 5000 points already purchased; we'd like to pass them out to our fleet mates as prizes.

    Yes, we support the C-Store and look forward to more items landing there in the near future.
