    Weren't Remans repeatedly announced as an account perk for hitting T5 Romulan rep?

    It feels a bit like taking something away if that option was removed.

    Honestly, Remans felt like an awkward fit there but it feels like there should be something there.

    Maybe half-human Romulan faction character with human traits as a perk for T5 Romulan rep on a Fed, half-Klingon as a perk for T5 Romulan rep on a Klingon, and playable Fed/KDF Romulans for T5 Romulan rep on a Romulan.

    Or something at least? I was pretty geared up for the idea that having T5 Romulan rep meant I'd get a special species unlock... And the implication here is that plan has been scrapped and replaced with, well... Nothing.

    Heck. Maybe keep the Reman unlock tied to Romulan rep and make the legacy pack playable Liberated Borg Reman? (With Liberated Borg Romulan as the lifer perk.)

    Can Fed/KDF players use the Reman Nemesis outfit for their Reman bridge officer?

    Q: How do I put on my new Reman "Nemesis" Uniform?
    A: Reman characters can visit a tailor to change into this uniform after it is claimed via the in-game C-Store.

    Q: Can I use the Reman "Nemesis" uniform on my FED/KDF characters? How about my Bridge Officers?
    A: Only Reman characters and Reman Bridge Officers may use this uniform.

    looks like a yes, to me

    Will this be purchasable via Steam, like the Steam Starter Pack?

    What does "retrofit" mean for the ships? Are they end game stuff?

    Why offer playable Remans with this pack when they're unlockable in game? Many people likely already heave tier 5 in Romulan rep - are you really expecting to get that many people who haven't played STO to buy this? Just curious.

    And why does one of the pictures have a warbird firing things from its nacelles?

    Edit: Does the D'ridthau costume stay unlocked for tier 5?

    I have to admit... There goes my last piece of hope for decency from PWE.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Why? You can buy the items individually later for $181.00 or buy them in a bundle now for $125.00. It's just a way to get them at a discount. Heaven forbid they should offer pre-order discount bundles. :)
    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.

    You are relentless stating that. You are right of course and some people have slight problems actually reading the pack information. :D

    as life time subscriber would hope to have some bonuses from the LOR packs or I be left with a very bad case of buyers remorse, spending $300 plus for gold account for now looks like will only cover 2/3 of the game seems more like a silver account to me.

    Are the Reman ship materials exclusive to this Legacy Pack, or do they come with the Reman Playable species if unlocked/purchased separately?

    hopefully LTS do get some things special for LoR consider LTS are meant to get special perks..and surely that would continue over to LoR and not shaft us with nothing new.

    Dan said he believed LTSers will get a Liberated Borg Romulan playable species - the same thing LTS currently offers Fed and KDF players.

    Why is this for sale without releasing the ship stats? Guess I'll have to wait for the stats to come out before I decide I want all of those ships or just a few.

    My only question is, how long is the Legacy Pack available on sale?

    I gotta work up to getting the sale price which will be a few weeks, not that I am getting more hours at work.

    Going to wait. No stats = no dice. No info on what LTS get = no dice.

    When the information is made available, then I will make my mind up...

    Edit: Please remove the guy with the fake English accent, in the legacy pack trailer.

    very disapointed lifetimers wont get this for free.
    what was the point in me spending a good wack of money for lifetime when something new like this comes out which is basicly a massive add on and then expect us to pay for it again. no way will i buy this as sweet as some of the stuff is why should i pay again after paying to be a lifer.
    other games i play wouldnt do this ... bad call i say.

    LTS should not get the ships, they should not get the liberated borg reman boff thingy or anything else they plan to add to the C-Store. They shouldn't even get a discount and certainly not the masterkeys and maybe not the doff pack.

    However I do think they should get something out of this as most of them have paid the LTS for the bonuses to the whole game not just for the Fed and KDF factions. In fact most people bought the LTS long before confirmation of a Romulan faction. I'd say (IMO) give them the titles, the liberated borg race (which has long been a lifer exclusive reward anyway) and the Reman boff.

    Seems like a compromise.

    RA Retrofit ships are no longer best in class, so the real question people need to be asking is if this purchase will qualify for the fleet store reduction ? aka $5 for the fleet variants of the VA Retrofit ships. If they don't qualify then you're up for another 20/25 bucks per fleet ship.

    It's a big waste of money getting the legacy pack if you simply replace your Retrofit ships immediately on reaching VA, witch is exactly what a lot of people with T5 shipyards are going to be doing.

    LTS don't get retrofit ships ever, LTS never got Borg BO, or any BO...so what are you talking about nothing on that list LTS ever got. :confused:

    Um, on my LTS account, I do not expect to get this for free. I expected a discount, minimum, and the Romulan/reman Liberated species should also be included in LTS as well, but the ships no.

    None of the federation/kdf ships are included in the LTS, so why should the Romulan ships be included?

    Actually LTS got the liberated borg race which has been exclusive to only them and now is being allowed to others. They also have access to Android bridge officers which are again exclusive to LTS. If neither of these or an equivalent is being brought out for the third faction they should get access to it so long as it's not going into the C-Store.

    Also LTS get a VA token which DOES give them access to a single retrofit ship free but does not unlock for your whole account nor does it give the reduction of cost for a fleet version.

    You have a good point there. Another to add to my list on waiting for information before purchase...

    I was under the impression that the Reman species was supposed to be a free unlock for reaching Romulan Rep tier 5. As for ships not being available to LTS/Gold players, anybody with a 600 day veteran award generally got a ship token which made a small selection of ships available as a choice for selection.

    While I will admit I have bought this pack any chance of being cheeky and asking for the T1 Kumari you gave all the Neverwinter people to also be included as a bonus? :P

    Liberated Borg Reman Bridge Officer is not a playable race, the LTS got playable Borg....also the Android is also a Vet reward and not exclusive to LTS.

    The Liberated Borg Engineer was an Amazon preorder, and now a C store item.

    A question about this: if those of us with T5 Romulan Rep still unlock the Reman playable species, do we also get the Reman hull materials?

    And what if someone does not want to spend that RIDICULOUS amount of money on these items...How can someone acquire these?


    And..can someone start off as a Reman, or is it only a Romulan?
