    I wish there was an official answer on the 'when does this sale end' thing. I REALLY want this, but there's almost no way I can buy this thing this month. If it lasts until at least May 1st that'll be great, but if it's only for a couple weeks...Then there's no way I can afford this.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Either way all you can do is wait until May 1st and hope it's still around. Them telling you it lasts, or doesn't last, that long won't change anything - as you can't afford to buy it sooner.

But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Q: Will we ever see the <insert ship that is not available in game> added to the game?
    A: Never say never! Please keep an eye on the release notes, blog posts and the forums for information about upcoming content or changes within the game. The forums can be reached via the website, or by clicking the 'Forums' link at the top of the launcher.

    will there be a star base for romulan and remen fleets?

    nevermind. found the answer here :http://www.stowiki.org/Upcoming_content

    No fleet starbase - a permanent choice to align with Federation or KDF. Romulan-made fleets will get benefit of their ally (includes access to allies' ships, rewards, and hubs). [4

    that sux!

    klingons and federation can have their own base, but not romulans or remans :(
    I believe God created the universe, because he knew we wanted to explore. So, he made us a playground...

    Why are Rom C-Store ships somehow different then Fed or KDF C-Store ships?

    I think it's a little much to ask lifetime subscribers to purchase anything else, considering that the sub is already about $300.

    With the economy the way it is $125.00 dollars in a single pop, is too rich for my bank account now-a-days.

    How in heavens name does $ 124.99 translate into 119.99 Euros if the official exchange rate is $ 1.3054 for 1 Euro?


    $ 124.99 = 95.748 Euro


    That's a price increase of 24 Euros or 25% ! :eek:

    That's quite insolent. How do you justify that ???



    What he said. This is ridiculous. There is no justification for the 119.99 Euro. WILL NOT BE BUYING

    RALH and RAUH, and VA? Why not Proconsul and Consul?

    Also, are we going to get a choice of free T5 ships depending on role, or are we going to be stuck with one T5 warbird or cross-faction ships if you don't want to spend zen?
    Somebody getting uppity about canon? No problem! Just take a deep breath, and repeat after me:

    Do you get free Fed and KDF C-Store ships because you're LTS? I know I don't. So why should you get free Rom C-Store ships with your LTS?

    I think proconsul and consul are political ranks. remember in romulan society military and politics are very entwined together

    Still, they could have used something a little more Romulan:

    RALH: High Commander
    RAUP: Lord Commander
    VA: Supreme Commander

    the 25% extra is called TAXES.

    in the usa the system is diffrent for taxing costs than eu.

    aka thats why it looks more expensive
    but its proboly same price.

    I have a question on the Romulan ships available for Dilithium, will the Mogai and D'Deridex warbirds be among the ships available for Dilithium as a "tier 5" ship or will they only be their Tier 3 and Tier 4 versions respectively? I want to say that both the Mogai and the D'Deridex Tier 5 warbirds without the special consoles should be sold via Dilithium so that people who want to fly those ships could do so.

    Good point. But it would go a long way to easing my mind if I knew the exact date from a dev.

    I bet all this stuff or most will be little individual c-store purchases at or a little after launch anyways. I mean they're NOT going to deny ships or races or costumes to new players I think

    I would imagine like most previous sales, it will last until LoR launches on the 21st. After that the individual C-Store items will be in the Store to buy.

    Stahl indicated in his STOked interview that they are seriously looking at allowing Fed and Klingon fleets to build Romulan Starbases in the near future.

    I dont see myself buying it, i paid for a lifetime which after f2p is hardly worth it. Could of gone gold for my vice admiral and then stopped and kept all my benefits of being gold at one time, much cheaper, and since i have yet to see if our liftime accounts even translate into the expansion. ie vet rewards for romulans lifetime accounts just keep loosing value. Personally you'd have to be crazy to buy one now. On the same note i cant justify paying 125 dollars for something thats going to be obsolete in 4 months when new ships come out. cheaper just to buy the costumes or addons you want separately.

    Well, yes. The free Vet Ship Token is the reason why I have 4 klingons rather than just 3 as I wanted to take advantage of every free c store ship available to me. I'm assuming we'll also get a free C store T5 ship token as well.

    Still a shame that our Vet free C store ship doesn't allow us to get the fleet ship discount on that character.

    OK I need to see if the retrofit ships will have there own skins/model designs(not the same as free versions but can still use them) before i buy into this? with their stats etc and all the console details.

    Please tell me some of the pictures are just stock pictures of the ships that they are refits or retrofits of and they are not merely the same skin and model with retrofit slapped on them.

    My second question are these all the c store ships at launch? If not I'd like to see the others as well...


    If i get these questions answered before the pre-sell ends I will buy into it.

    Also I hope the pre-sell stay to at least the day before launch so it gives me plenty of time to decide.

    What rewards (exactly) will be in the C-Store after this pack goes away?

    Why can we not buy it for Zen?

    Why was the decision made to not give people that purchase this a head start with Romulans? 125 Dollars is a lot for items we can get later for free with Zen stipends or Zen earned via Dilithium grinding, the extra time as a Romulan cannot be purchased that way.

    Why did you release information for a pack to buy without having information available for players to see what their LTS/Sub offered and without stats of the items in question? Your marketing department had to know we'd want more information before throwing money at you.

    What happens if the week of launch these items are all totally borked (can't equip X weapon, can't enter STFs, Transwarp to opposing faction's starbase, insert bug we see a lot with untested C-Store ships here)? You'll obviously have to bring the server down to fix them in short order which would mean more headaches for the customers.

    Why not lock Tribble and allow people who buy this pack to play with a Romulan now on Tribble?

    Basically, without even knowing what rewards my LTS might garner I'm seeing absolutely no reason to buy this...

    Will the titles be available on the C Store by themselves, or in some other fashion? Like an in-game unlock, or something?

    If we buy the starter pack, and later buy the legacy pack (which you say we can do) will the legacy pack be discounted by the price of the starter pack?
