this is my opinion and analysis on the lifeitme subscription in it we will categorise all the perks into 2 categorys
trinkets: something that other account types cna get regardless of conditions or doesnt provide any actual gameplay differances
and features: something unique and/or tailored to this account type.
alrighty first off the obvious the liberated borg race while strictly speaking this fits into the features category already defined we already have the ability to purchase new playable races and to be quite honest the joined trill gives just as much benefit as this race and at a fraction of the price i have played both and there isnt really much differance between the two outside of aesthetics so personally this is more of a extravagant trinket
captains table serves no ACTUAL purpose and rarely actually used and is basically a poorly fittred version of each facitons station anyway so same as borg race BUT this si tailored and isnt really mirrored in c store so minor feature/perk
exclusive costume options... purely aesthetic so while nifty im classifying this as a trinket:
career officer title... sames as costumes except even more useless
forum goodies... probably even more worthless than the title
all veteran rewards... really thsi si the same as no repeated fee this si a natural result of a LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION so natural trait.
liberated borg: extravagent trinket/small feature/minor perk
no repeated fee: its lifetime >.> im classifying this as a natural trait aka WORTHLESS
captains table: minor feature/perk
exclusive costume options: uncommon trinket
career officer title: common trinket
forum goodies: common trinket
all veteran rewards: natural trait
no repeated fee: natural trait
SO add to this that we also have to pay life 200 pounds for the new expansion ... thats like 450 pounds for... well trinkets... personally i think the romulan expansion would be a perfect featured perk for lifetime and personally i think they should assign specfic pieces form the c store as free for lifetime TRIBBLE well that would give them a minor perk uncommon quality perk and a featured perk to entice people to go lifetime.
give comments below and i skipped over default gold account benefits because those are also natural traits for lifetime

Beyond that, most of life is about spending money on "trinkets." Whether or not the trinkets matter is subjective to the person buying them. For some the LTS is a nice trinket.

Welcome to online gaming man. People will forever get their panties in a wad over what i choose to spend my hard-earned money on.
For this reason I'm strongly tempted to take advantage of the current LTS sale.
- Account Bank
- 'Gold' priority during login queues.
- Increased Bank & Personal Inventory slots
- Respec tokens on Rank Up
- Additional BO Slots
- Additional Character slot (from Vet Rewards)
- Chimera class ship (from Vet Rewards)
- Android BO (from Vet Rewards)
And to be honest, how many new STO members will want to wait 600 days of subbing for the high end Vet Rewards...Whether it is 'worth it' remains subjective. But there is a definite 'value' to it in $ terms.
And so far I've waited a total of about 6 minutes in LoR queues.

There are many steps to be taken to work online! Work with homebasework.in. And don't settle for just a job, work for yourself. Follow the path that will make you wealthy! Work for yourself, but not by yourself. Be your own boss.
You can ask anyone that is successful and they will tell you that you will never become rich working for someone else.
I am a successful internet businessman, working from home, happy to be part of this industry and proud to have helped so many people reach their goals!
What can I do start you might say?
The first step is to change the way you think about yourself, take control your life, and be positive!
When people ask "how I became rich" it brings a smile to my face and millions of thanks to homebasework.in I remember thinking (when I was poor) I have to do something, take action, and I did... very successfully!
The only person that can change your life around is you!
You have the power right now to decide to make the changes in your life that will lead you down the road to success. The internet has opened up a world of opportunities. To run an internet business is not a far-fetched idea. The internet has made more people into millionaires than the industrialization of the western world!
A part time business from home can be the first step to success.
Many people who started off working part time, moved on to a full time career in a very short time!
If you are looking to become a millionaire overnight, then forget that right now! Yes a few had done very well for themselves, but most of us have to work a bit harder to get there!
I was lucky! I picked homebasework.in the right web based business (eventually after a few months) with full support in place and when I mean full support, I mean virtually leading you by the hand every step of the way until I started to make my first buck!!
It's not difficult, but takes time, and you have to be patient! It may take a couple of months, it may take a year but stick at it, do not give up.
You are going to have to work! You may not work the way you are used to working, you may not have to work from nine to five but a new venture requires a bit of elbow grease to get things going. Be prepared to nurture your new endeavor and put the hours in (homebasework.in) our website.
WTF does any of your prattle have to do with this topic?Learn how to post on a forum, before bragging about your internet road to weath ...LOL.
I view most of these freebs complaints on the boards as a symptom of the decline in Western society as the "entitled" generations continue to grow.
Exactly what he said..the perks are well worth it....and my queues have been less than 3 minutes, and not really even that, the box shows up...then goes away and i'm in the game.
Exactly. Thread can now be closed.
I patch up, miss the queue, have a bunch of vet rewards and goodies from the last 3 years and a war chest of zen to do what I want with.
Bought it three years ago, it paid itself off after 16 months, now with the stipend it's paying me to play.
So, you excluded all the benefits of a LTS, and concluded it wasn't worth it. That form of analysis would give the same result for anything. Case in point:
Being Alive isn't worth it.
You get sick
You have to deal with TRIBBLE
People are mean to you
You can get hurt
You have to eat
Being alive costs a lot of money
Its a lot of hard work
I'm going to exclude things like love and fun and happiness, because these are all default perks of being alive.
I have now proved that being alive isn't worth it using OPs methodology.

Why are you not rejoicing?
Buy a dictionary. This is not concise, but is incomprehensible drivel.
The little dot on your keyboard serves a purpose.
You also get all the Vet rewards which is no small thing.
EXP boost for you and your team mates, a Free shuttle (not a bad one either), a free SHIP (A very powerful one for the KDF and a pretty strong one for the Fed easily a 25 dollar ship), Costumes, Ship Materials and Paint Schemes, a Pet (yeah... Whatever), lots of Retrain Tokens, an Android BOFF (Great on the Ground), etc...
The Legacy of Romulus Pack is already a discount of its own. As a Lifer you can save up your Stipend to buy any of the ships or things in it via the Zen but as far as getting more free stuff it is just not a part of the deal. As a lifer you already get a Free Shuttle and Ship. I see no reason why you would get the LoR pack for free or more discounted than it is.
Basically if you intend to play the game for a long time with many characters go Lifer (especially if you want the ships and BOFF). If you want to play the game for a relatively short time or with fewer characters then Gold is fine. If you can handle being Silver and do not want the perks of Gold or Life then just stay Silver and buy only what you need.
I can understand why people pay the monthly sub
and also the people who like me, don't subscribe but may buy zen every once in a while, maybe once a year to feel like you support the game and maybe buy something shiny.
and also ok with the people who never spend a penny on the game
what I dont get are the people I know exist that literally poor hundreds of $ into this game, this game model is setup to make it easy for people to put so much into the game. You can spend nothing or you can spend thousands.
I mean you buy a LTS buy a legacy pack for $130 and buy $100-$200+ of zen to spend on keys to get the fancy new lock box ships and other fluff.
the great thing about FTP models is it doesn't need to cost you anything but the curse is that if you can't control your spending you can dump a significant amount of cash into the game.
