The new thing in the world is the inability of those who have to see what those that don't are upset about.
This is a common socialistic problem and is acerbated by the MMO culture.
People who get to spend more than a few hours a day playing a game need to understand that their progress and L337ness stems from the extra time they play and not that they are the chosen one. Practice makes perfect.
They also need to realize that those that can't play more than a few hours a day are actually working for a living so that those fortunates can play as much as they do.
TLDR: If your post sounds anything like, "I have a sandwhich, how can they be hungry" then you probably shouldn't post because you don't get it.

That isn't a new attitude; What you are describing tends to correlate with how much empathy a person has. The less capacity for empathy one has, the more likely they can not understand the position of others.
Starting to sound like the Communist Party of STO is forming in here. Workers of the world unite and all that TRIBBLE.
Communist Party?
By your definition the Federation is Communist because it has hundreds of species and planets working together for specific common goals.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
In all fairness, $20-$25.00 is not an uncommon price in the FTP industry. A Steed in LotRO will run you $20.00. Ships are far more versatile and useful to a character than a Steed is in LotRO - a ships IS your character for more than 50% of the game.
And, of course, with Dilithium grinding most people are not actually paying the $20-$25.00 for a C-Store ship. Most players are probably getting anywhere from a 25-75% discount. Personally, I have not purchased Zen since the game went FTP and I own every Fed ship that has been released to the C-Store - and I own several Lockbox ships, which I purchased from the Exchange.
That's true, with the amount you can use them you can definitely get your money's worth, and if you consider it a couple of months of subscription in the old model, a new ship every month and a half or so would probably be about right, and that isn't even accounting for the dilithium.
25 people in one fleet each contributing 1 day's worth of Dilithium will finish it immediately. 13 people doing the same thing two days in a row will also finish it.
Both my Federation and KDF fleets are medium to large size, have fun, nice people in them that I get along with, and we easily complete these projects with no trouble.
(Blacksheep and Bloodbath and Beyond, freakin' super people.)
If your fleet is too small, either recruit more people who will contribute, or join a larger fleet. Likewise, these are cosmetic changes, so if they are not something you deem useful, then do not slot them.
I lead a cross-game community, we have independent clans or guilds in other games, but in STO, we are merged into those other communities. We are not the lesser for it. I recommend you consider something similar, or otherwise learn to deal with it, because it is not going to change.
I see no issue here.
wel you should try canadian federation it's a very good team and active to.see you in space
it's the oh-poor-me the bad awful rich people are oppressing me stuff
UFP is a socialist paradise. No money, no poverty and general equality. It is "from each according to ability to each according to need". It is the very definition of that philosophy. I think people forget this because the titular ship was named "Enterprise" and nearly everyone spoke with an American accent.

:eek:
The continuous push towards Communism.
I'm waiting for some company to actually figure out they can make ALL the money by simply making missions and Starbases scaleable.
The company that does this will win.

Look at this new "Legacy Pack"
$125 for e-items?
I could buy a brand new game to play for far less than half of that.
I spend on this game here and there when I want something, but that is just ridiculous.
Keep the titles and ships I won't use. I'll keep my $125 freaking real life dollars that will buy food, beer, smokes, clothes, dog toys and pay bills.
I think more than anything the fleet concept was to give you something to do for 6-12 months, mission accomplished no?
And if you need those t5 ships or other gear so bad buy your way in
People are posting here all the time about their Fleets being stolen.
If someone makes 20 Alts for the same Fleet what does it matter if the needs are scalable?
Are they trying to restrict Fleet ships and if so why?
