Lapsed gold member

Hi
I used to subscribe but went silver earlier this year (maybe late last year) shortly after hitting the 1000 day mark. The reasons were many but justifying the monthly ?9 was probably the main one. Knowing that in total I spent way more than an LTS does make me feel a bit daft, but it was my choice and a ?200 outlay was never an option.
I digress - my reason for posting is to ask the question, does being a lapsed gold member entitle me to more than the standard silver membership? I realise the veteran rewards are available and I'm enjoyiong those as I level up my Romulan, but do any of the other benefits remain such as character slots and respecs on my new chars etc? It looks like some might do bu I'm not sure, having one char with a load more costume slots than others.
Any info appreciated!
Thanks

Bank slots
Inventory slots
Account bank
Boff slots
Ship slots
Any accrued respec tokens
However you will lose:
EC cap raise
Any unused extra character slots
And any new characters will be subject to the silver status i.e. standard slots, no respec tokens, etc.
Of all of those, the EC cap is probably the biggest loss, and for silvers I would always recommend just getting it from the C-store, as that way it is permanent, regardless of subscription. Note you won't lose any EC above the cap, but you will stop earning EC until it falls below the cap.
You are right, the 10mil cap will be a pain but I will probably get it from the c-store as you suggest. I went nuts and bought a load of keys off the exchange so not reached 10mil yet on any since I went silver :S
Your characters are still available, but they may not be able to use all features that are available if you were to be a Gold Player. Additionally, Gold Members and Silver Players differ in Star Trek Online. A player who previously subscribed to Star Trek Online and then returned to game as a Silver Player will not have the same exact features provided to Gold Members. The Features Matrix describes these differences in more detail.

Q: If I decide to downgrade from Gold to Silver, what happens to all my stuff?
Characters will remain when switching from Gold to Silver. However, not all features that character had during Gold membership may be available to Silver players. Please note that we never delete character data. If a Gold Member cancels his or her subscription and decides to restart it at a later date, all of that Member's characters and associated items will be intact.
you could lose the inventory addons too at anytime i have heard many keep them though only heard some lost them but dont know if they got them back, the bank addon is about 64k dilithium (well was for me last week at 129 per zen)
Also found this on the veteran rewards page:
Current or Lapsed Gold Subscribers
Vice Admiral Ship Token: Players that have been gold subscribers for at least 600-days will receive a single veteran ship token per character that allows the player to purchase a character unlock Vice Admiral or Rear Admiral Romulan Retrofit ship for free. This token is only good for Romulan ships when received on a Romulan Republic character, and the ship will be character locked to the character that selected it.
So looks like D'deridex retrofit will be available too
It's funny though, all I wanted for ages was to play may old Romulan created from alien flying around in a D'deridex. Now they are everywhere, I'm not so keen ...
