More Perks for Verteran and Gold

gavinmurphy0603 · March 2013

I think we should see more value for my $299.00 dollars lifetime member and the people that pay to keep the game alive should get more. extra consoles ships maybe even a couple of extra Account bank slots just something.

Agreed-Agreed

I have a feeling one of the 'new' perks will be a 1000 day Vet Reward ship for the Romulan faction (asssuming hyou have a level 50 Romulan faction character at some point.)

And probably Lib Borg Romulans...

I'd love for me to have more value from your 299.00 LTS, like maybe that KDF vet ship. Seems to me that you PAID for alot of nice things including 3.5 years of gameplay. You want more, PAY like the rest of us.

knowing this game's leveling system, there will probably be hundreds of level 50 romulans in the first day, if not thousands

Yeah probably we re going to see Rommulan Borgs and all the other vet rewards for rommulans too but I agree with Garvin there should be something NEW

Definitely, those of us who were founders on this game long before anyone else have been saying this for a very long time now. Overall we've just been second class players even tho we've spent the most to ensure that this game was a success.

It wouldn't do them any harm to include 2 other special ships, some ground equipment, and special armor to the veterans rewards.

Personally my LTS has been since beta, so i'm happy with what i've recieved over that time, but in regards to the people that are still on monthly or just buying the LTS i do think they deserve a little more. The Vet system should never have been made into a one time perk for the LTS, and to be honest they should have kept it going, even if it were just small things, or costume pieces, or even just a few extra Zen based on time subbed. It would be a nice thing for the people who continue to pay for the game.

I do think the extra 1000 dil doff mission is a joke since its really 500 a day because it takes 2 days to complete and you have to go to SFA to do it. Atleast if it was in your department head tab that would be better.

They should just have a vet reward that once you have a VA of a career already made that all future characters of that career are already leveled to 50 upon creation because its not like you dont know how to play it and you already spent your time playing the content.

I can't agree more; as a LTS member I had hoped I could refine more than 8k per day even if it was maybe 10k.

I have to disagree on this though. I actually enjoy playing at lowbie levels using up all the anomalies crafting gear for them then using that toon to help noobish guildies or players with out worrying about matching their level when they are out of range and the spawn just devastates them.
I mean to really play story line missions over to complete a set or get the limited time bonus item is one thing but I'd much rather as a LTS be able to do the missions that grants me say the Red Matter Reactor since I've paid the "Vet" requirements.

I got my LTS during pre-launch and in that time its paid its for the sub and then some. I find any LTS entitlement annoying, as we already got and continue to get what we paid for. I also find the idea of non LTS thinking that's all we've spent? I've got a stack of game cards in my desk that say otherwise. I've also purchased well over $800 worth of Zen since Jan 1st, 2013. I supported the game in the beginning and continue to support the game.

If I started playing now, I would more than likely put the LTS money straight into Zen. It was a different time back when I got mine. Cryptic was still living off the fumes of how great City of Heroes was. Star Trek Online was new, shiny, and showed a metric ton of promise.

Just to add, continuing to add perks to LTS isn't a bad thing. It encourages sales and improves the overall package for everyone. When I purchased my LTs, half the perks didn't even exist. For it was Liberated Borg captain (Of which I have none at 50). No sub for life and a social hub....

I mainly got it for the no sub for life feature.. now I get 500 free zen every month

Weird that people actually thing that's the end all of the spending, that we're somehow freeloaders and that we don't deserve more specialized treatment then the players who just sit around and pay nothing.

For one thing, the spending doesn't stop, they came out with new ships long after some of us paid LTS. I've been playing since beta myself so I've been there every step of the way with the design changes and trust me they could do alot better in the rewards department.

1: TW to enigma (which was suggested when they added it 2.5 years ago still not in there)
2: Enigma worth something (like having the vendors we actually need like starbase
3: vendors, respec, officer training with the skills that normally require buying an over priced boff)
4: Doff vendor and mission tool (that we find at the academy
5: The ability to beam to sector (like we can do from the academy and fleet base
6: gold or other special ship hull color (because the one they have can barely be distinguished from the other ship hulls while in sector or STF's)
7: a series of special kits with special armor graphics.

Just a few things that come to mind immediately.

And like I said before 2 other types of ships for vet status would be nice. And enhanced sci ship and an enhanced cruiser as choices for the vet ships would be nice as well, having everything as an escort just adds to some of the problems we've seen in this game regarding balance.

Did anyone know that you get automatic refining of dilithium, up to one weeks worth??? I guess if you miss the refine for the day and you log in the next day it will refine your dil for the previous day for you.

but once you get VA's you can get alot more data samples from doff missions then spending your time finding anomalies and besides they are super cheap on the exchange.
