1100 Vet? Frak yes!

Will there be vet rewards after 1000? I say frak yes! Every 100 days! Why would they take that away from loyal players. I need that cookie even if its just a title & badge or belt.
I'm a day one paying player that got my 900 days in:) Never missed a payment every 6 months! I have heard some say that maybe 1100 or 1200 vet players should all be called lifers. That said I don?t agree with making my tag blue and calling me a lifer.. I can see that the real lifers took that chance at day one. I wish I did! But this was my first sub game, my first mmo game, and first new game in years. I just did not take the chance of life. My wife wanted me too on the last week of beta.
Now the main reason I stay paid after f2p was the Vet rewards. Look guys I have one real fed toon! Yea I have joke toons, toons to play with the creator on but as I stand here none has completed more than one mission. Kling? Yea I started one and he has not done one off world mission. I do plan to mess with him soon. What else? I don?t create foundry missions, I?m a Cstore nut that has 18 bo's slots that I bought. So beyond vet rewards I have no reason to stay pay. "at least that I can tell" Except supporting this game that is. A game that I still love! But I wont just pay for that! That cant be a reason for me to stay pay. I need a cookie and I need it every 100 days. Without? If this does end.. I will most likely go free. That 400 stipend just isn?t enough by itself.

Come on Cryptic, show us you care about those of us who have supported your game for 3 years and beyond!
Oh, and please finish your 700 day vet android reward. :P
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
- free Z-store ship token / or 2000 Zen.
- Or lockbox ship token.
- Or just give me 200M EC free and I'll buy my own lockbox ship off the Exchange.
- Or huge pile of Lobi crystals.
- Or a stack of Master Keys.
Or...The options are almost endless. Every 100 days is roughly 3 months.
So giving the Gold/Lifetime people something nice every now and again shouldn't take too big a bite out of profits.
Can always use more storage...
Logically, each successive reward would need to be superior to the reward you received previously. Of course, I guess that hasnt always been the case. Look at 800 day... you get a monkey, non-combat pet.

The simple truth is that the vast, vast, vast majority of players making it to 1,000 days are LTSers rather then monthly subbers; and the LTSers reached their financial break-even point long before they get to 1,000 days, and thus there's very little financial incentive for Cryptic to pay to create unique items for Vet Rewards.

They don't care about us, they don't want to hear from us, they'd rather pretend we don't exist at all. Unless we make noise nothing will ever happen.
No offense, but do you have experience programming an MMO, did you help to build the Cryptic Engine, did you assist in the original programming of STO, do you know exactly what they're attempting to do with the Android BOff and if it has any currently unannounced special features that they're struggling with?
If the answer to any of the above questions are no, then I'm afraid you have no right to call the reasons they're giving for not finishing the 700 day BOff laughable.
He isn't talking about the programming. He's talking about the confusing communication that is coming to us regarding the fix. And to that end he might be right as it does seem Cryptic has been very inconsistent - depending on who you talk to you get a different response.
In reality, it's probably just not a high priority item on their list, which is why the feedback from Cryptic comes off as confusing. And this makes his point about "making noise" relevant.

Remastering some episodes would be nice too, we have seen nothing new as far as episode go in a very long time
One that gives out a free Lobi crystal once every twenty-four play-time-hours.
...another pipe-dream of mine.
...887 Days... and still counting...
I have yet another dream... and it involves the Android BOff Options Actually Getting Done.
Should I file this dream under the category of SOON™ ...???

Yup just a simple belt.... Or another badge for 1100 I would be happy. Something to show everyone that hey im a vet! Call it bragging? ok call it that! But for cryptic we would be showing other people that yes people do pay for this game. People have stuck around! I would be proud to show that. I hate to say it again but with one main toon and one other im starting for the other side ill go F2P if we lost it in the 100 day format. If cryptic cant take the time to throw me a badge, belt, shirt "go climb a rock tshirt" IDC something! if they cant do that for me or for us then yea this game will be f2p for me. Not a I quit the game! I love the game!
