I was wondering what the limit was on the extra BO & ship slots purchases. So can someone enlighten me?
I want to have a dry dock with all the ships in game housed in it. :D

    No doubt.

    Still no word from the devs yet as to just what the limit is. Amazing.... :mad:

    Update1: Well after getting sick of waiting for a Dev to respond I decided to go ahead and try purchase additional BO slots a second time. It seems to have worked.

    Update2: Well after getting sick of waiting for a Dev to respond I decided to go ahead and try purchase additional Ship slots a second time. It seems to have worked.

    Now the question is can it be done a third time for both or either one? :confused:

    I really, really, wish a dev would speak up on the limits. Stuff like this should be in the FAQ or at the very least the item description for cryin' out loud.     :mad:

    So can someone involved with the code side of things tell us the limit PLEASE?

    This information should be in the item description. Shoot I think it change color for each level you purchase if the limit is a rather small one. If not it should count down to zero then disable itself.

    Spartan you just have such bad luck getting Dev responses. :D

    I'm afraid I can't directly answer your questions about BO/Ship slots... I am still boycotting them as they are too expensive for per character services, especially when I feel they should be per account.

    But I can say I have purchased something like ten-plus sets of Extra Costume Slots (I've lost track, and yes, I know I'm insane... what can I say, I like variety... which is funny, think of all the money Crypic would have from me if they "fixed" the Ship/BO slots...). I have had no problems whatsoever using them once I learned the "work around" to use the new slots for Off Duty clothes.

    My primary character has 23 outfits, and an alt has more than that (something like 28), and I still have empty slots pending. Considering that kind of expansion, I would hope the Ship/BO slots were similar... then again, I would have hoped they were per account (and no, I'm not bitter :p).

    OMG!! 23 costumes? I have a hard time making two of them. My fashion sense simply does not match the resources in game to say the least.

    Anyway, I guess I'll go ahead and try to buy more and if it does not work then I'll start a bit'ch thread. It is funny nonetheless, one would think this forum with its very low traffic level would have a seriously high dev response ratio.

    UPDATE: It seems three (3) purchases work for BO. I now have six (6) extra slots.

    I'm glad your extra BO slots worked for you!

    Yeah, thanks to Blackavaar's Guide to Canon Colors I've made a "canon" version of each of my unlocks along with some alternates and simply made up unis.
    http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=151369

    My primary character's Uniform list:
    • Combat (A "padded jerkin" type custom uni in Aggressive stance that looks good under my Kit)
    • Fleet (My fleet's uni, I didn't make this one)
    • Off Duty (Sort of a t-shirt and jeans look)
    • TOS Command Gold
    • TOS Captain's Variant Green (w/MU Gold Sash)
    • MU First Officer's Variant Gold
    • TOS WoK Command
    • TOS WoK Command Open (Stance: Relaxed)
    • TNG Command Red
    • TNG Film Command Red
    • DS9 Command Red
    • VOY Command Red
    • STO Drone Uniform
    • Vice Admiral Jacket Uniform
    • Diplomat
    • Fizzbin Norm (white 21st Century suit)
    • Fizzbin Chill (as above, but Stance: Relaxed)
    • Mercenary (as presented in the C-Store ads)
    • Ranger (Merc gear, but less Green Beret and more "Let's all go hiking!")
    • Assassin (Black & Red robes and merc gear, looks pretty cool, I think)
    • Veteran
    • Veteran Green Alternate
    My alternate Sci character has a simialr list, but for many of the "canon" outfits I made alternate colors for Command, Science, and various Medical Teals/Green, which is why she has more.

    I boycotted the BO slots, because it was my idea to extend the commissioned crew roster to 25 or 30 to eliminate the ensign rickys ( or keep them to a minimal ) and then it showed up in the C-Store and it should of been account wide. or free, i hate when good ideas are used for evil.....

    Seems that a few more folk would like to see Account-wide Ship and Bridge Officer slots.

    Feel free to add your support to the thread I started a few weeks back.

    If we can prove that account-wide slots are not only desired, but also profitable, then we've got more chance of seeing them.

    Now back to your regularly scheduled green text.

    So if I understand the generator of this thread right it's possible to buy the Additional BO Slots several times? That means if I purchase it 1st time, I will get 2 extra slots. If I purchase it a 2nd time, I will get 2 more extra slots. So in the end i have got 4 extra slots. I am right, am I?

    :)

    Correct. I have purchased extra slots four times now for eight extra BO & ship slots each.
