Make the Captain's Lounge useful

I have an Idea, Why not make the Captains Lounge a fully equipped T5 fleet starbase for anyone who is a Lifer?
Make it have all the amenities that a T5 Starbase would have, and give lifers a 20% discount on marks and dilithium.
I bet it would boost Lifetime sub sales also.
People would still have to contribute to fleet holding projects to grind for fleet marks, and to generate the provisions used when purchasing.
What do you guys think?

I think I'd like to thank you for starting what promises to be a very entertaining thread.
<Bows>
All opinions are welcome, unless you disagree with me.
I have no idea if they could implement it but it sounds great.
You know there is no incentive now, right? Some Tier 5 fleets opened their doors long ago for access to their stores.
if it was more useful i probably would go.

I would simply be happy if all the amenities of ESD were available in the captain's table. then i would not have to deal with the kiddies and thier disco parties in front of the exchange
they just migrate or half it up to think none of them have a lifer sub would be illogical

I think, to help attract new players to the game and build a stronger game, we need to get rid of the captain's lounge. It takes up too much disk space. Removing it would speed up content downloads.
Plus the map is confusing and people get lost in it.
Now how about if 1 of your toons is in a full t5 fleet your other toons can gain access to t5 gear be they fed kdf or not even in a fleet, that would make the map actually usefull
95% of the endgame can now be played out via menus from whatever social zone you stay in. There is hardly any reason to actually go anywhere any more.
I for one agree with this...I spent 4 days there once not knowing where to find the darn couches there....I haven't been back since.
also make it easyer to access... for example from esd through turbolift
it is a SHAME that they actually advertise with the cpt. table in the launcher, its such a USELESS thign right now
Make it so.
Are you making fun of me sir?
Please you must forgive me for asking for a perk since I spent $300 on this game, after spending $15 a month for 6 months, plus all the Atari tokens, Cryptic whatevers, and Zen I have bought in the last 4 years, Paid for my kid's Lifetime account, and plenty of Zen on his account.
So yes I do believe a little gratitude shown from Cryptic to the Lifers, is not out of order. Especially considering the majority of the Lifer perks are pretty worthless, This would be a wonderful perk, and I believe it would boost their Lifetime subs sales as well. Not drastically, but a small push to those on the fence if you will.
But I am used to the whining of the F2P crowd by now.
But I will amend my idea, make it available to subs also. I believe it is currently accessible to subs as a Veteran reward already, yes? So leave it there, subs can gain access to the discounts when they gain access to the Captains Lounge.
I'ts not like I actually expect them to do this, its a good idea! And I think experience shows us that Cryptic wouldn't know a good idea if it bit them in the nose!
One would think that, but...
...after this outburst, it's more like he was reading your motives out for the world to see, and then you came along and proved his "it's all about the entitlement" spiel was spot-on.
You got everything you paid for. Get over yourself.
Just like many of us are used to the whining of the greedy entitled wanting more, more, more.
the diplo mission is out, unless you'r referring to picking up the ambassador to go to P'Jem.
oh .. you want useful stuff at captain's table, do you !? ... NO SOUP FOR YOU ! :mad: ...
Making the Captains Table solely a T5 Starbase, and not an Embassy, a Mine, and a Spire, would mean that the incentive is still quite present for players to work with the fleet, but there would be immediate gratification to those who spend that amount of money. Also given that the cost in fleet credits would not change, working with a fleet is still the only way to get the goodies. Given that Cryptic seems to be having trouble moving Lifetime subs, this might be just such an added incentive to sell more.
However, I can see how some would call it "entitlement" ploy. I put the call out to ALL Lifetimers, come join my fleet, anyone who is going to show that level of dedication to the game has a place amongst the Starfleet Strategic Command, just ask any of us for an invite.
As for the idea, Yes I would like it personally, it would benefit me greatly, but it would also be a general benefit to those who long for a fleet ship but cannot afford one. When you say ALL the abilities, I envision the ability to invite other players, who aren't lifetimers, to the map, just as you can the T5 starbase, to spend fleet credits.
Given the cost incentive of fleet credits, it might encourage more Life Time subscribers to join small fleets and help them work they're way up, benefiting the LS by granting Fleet cred, and the non subscriber and regular Subscriber, by making they're fleets grow faster with more people putting in.
In short, Yes, let it be a Starbase at T5 with an infinite stock of provisions. Life time subbers still need the other three station, and fleet credit to take advantage, as such it would benifit the other players as well with more help going to Subscriber, and Free2Player fleets to generate the fleet credit.
It's not, 400-day veterans (subscribers) also have access to the Captain's Table.
They really should do something with the Captain's Table, it's described as a perk but really is sort of an inconvenience since ESD is right there and has more than what the Captain's Table has to offer.
