Lifetime Account Idea

Thank you for taking the time read my suggestion. I am aware that you more than likely get ideas from players all the time, but I feel this benefits both players and Perfect World. Lifetime subscriptions are great but have become a little overpriced for what is offered. I know at times there is discount offers but I am not sure that has enough appeal to the average player. What I suggest is just a bit of a added incentive to make a lifetime subscription worth the price tag. A Borg ship! An Idea that had been asked for many times over by the community over the years but now can become a reality. I know personally, as a player, that if I was to see that offer… I would buy it (again) for the full price.
A playable (T6) Cube or sphere would be enough draw to all die hard fans and new players. Again, thank you. For a great game and all the years of fun that I have enjoyed. Keep up the amazing job. A job “well done” goes out to all the Perfect World staff. Any and all feedback would be appreciated

Borg ships are discussed here quite often and it's something of a dead horse. Search on "borg" and read a few of the threads.
If Cryptic ever does offer some kind of Borg ship (almost certainly not a cube) then it would be either a lock box or more likely an R&D pack ship.
Thanks for the welcome. long time player (since beta) first time poster, and yes i know the borg ship idea has been around for a very long time. Thats why I was suggesting it for an added Lifetime Bonus. Lock box or R&D is just... meh. I was looking for a way to make it worth spending $200 on a game that has aged past that price.
I can dream... but I know it most likely will never happen.
Smaller ships (especially Cooperative ships) you could probably get away, considering they already put the first leg over that shark by giving out playable 8472 ships.
But still... its kinda accepted that anything Playable Borg would be seen as a "Last Act of Freakin' Defiance" endtimes thing by the forum community.

That is the Cooperative Flagship in STO. As seen in one of the Delta Quad patrols.

How about no. This game is F2P with absolutely no content locked behind a paywall and it needs to remain that way.

gold ferengi ship ?
some pre order and box rewards from 1. year ?
convention codes ?
that ship that came with the hardware model ?
...
As mentioned above if they ever do cubes or spheres they'll be in a oddsolowIcan'tbelieveitsnotgambling box either as the regular one or the even worse R&D thing alongside the universe monstrosities.
Seeing how it's something Cryptic already does I'd think that would be an easy value add to STO's LTS.
*sees people flying Undine ships, Jem Hadar walking around ESD, Romulans walking around Qo'noS, Dinosaurs with Laser beams, Sentient Tardigrade as pets,ships from the 23c blowing up Borg cubes, ships from the 31c not wiping the floor with Borg Cubes*
Yes players with Cubes will be jumping the shark
HOWEVER...
As much as people love the cube, i feel that it would be a much better in universe idea to give players Cooperative ships or limit it to the probe and the sphere at max. The point of the CUBE was supposed to be a singular overpowered "Oh, TRIBBLE..." kind of moment. These things are meant to be just a sheer nightmare, so just giving them to players would be a bit much, even thought they're not really as bad as they should have been.
Again, though, I'm all for more Borg for my LTS but the Cubes should remain unavailable, like being a changeling or a Q.
The game jumped the shark with the first lockbox ships, thus allowing players to use ships from outside their faction. Do you really think Starfleet would allow a captain to command an Undine or Iconian ship? Maybe somebody of Picard's importance, for a special specific mission, but not for us line grunts. May as well prop the barn door open, it was thrown open years ago.
They make a wondrous mess of things. Brave amateurs, they do their part.
The way that game does subs is to buy with ZEN.
I was half expecting to see something similar appear in STO when they removed the option to buy a monthly sub.
I do suspect however that the stipend is something of a stumbling block to having that added since the beancounters would no doubt want that reduced or replaced in favour of the daily key. Personally I would feel the LTS devalued by a lot if they replaced or reduced the stipend due to the RNG bs built into gambleboxes.
Might be worth mentioning that the NW keys are account bound in an attempt to reduce gold selling so value to a person becomes very subjective whereas 500zen a month is a fixed amount.
Pre order bonuses are pretty common, but not required for anything.
Nice to have... but not required.
Literally has the same stats as the Intel Assault Cruiser, just with a different trait and Command seating. And honestly 3 consoles for a battle cloak is kinda meh. I love the Metreon Warhead Launcher, but that Incrimental Phase Cloak is not as appealing. And to get the battle cloak you also have to slot in the Metreon Gas Canister, which has no passives. Honestly the Defiant Battle Cloak is a better way to go since its 2 consoles and the Quad Cannons.

The Lifetime package is a complete rip-off. The ships included are way out of date. Even at 200 dollars/euros it is not worth it.
Players are by far better off buying the Starter-Pack for 15 dollars and waiting for a ship sale and buying a 3 ship bundle for 40 dollars.
$55.00 VS. $300.00 (or $200.00) ... umm ya well you do the math.
Yeah, 500 Zen has more uses than 1 BoA master key. But 30 BoA keys vs 500 Zen?
Daily keys is technically a HUGE increase in 'value'. So Cryptic could argue killing the stipend for keys.
Downside to Cryptic would be possible loss in sales of real keys.
But then you also sell more Zen since people will want to replace their lost stipend to get stuff.
I'd guess they'd have to see how STO's sales are vs NWs.
Upside/downside would be a ton of extra boxes open and more loot posted on the Exchange. This would depress prices. That's good depending on what side of the sale you're on.
They are things to utilise while trying to find content to do.
