Only recently changed, bit of a kick in the balls for those who paid for a lifetime subcription.

if it lasts 40 months then it would have payed for itself in C points

Yeah but it won't, seems like a desperate move which is going to anger a lot of people who supported it both in time and money from the very beginning.

i got my LTS at the beginning before beta even finished

, I'm not too bothered i think i got my moneys worth from the time i played it but now...I'm not sure if i will play it anywhere near as much

but the people who have recently took the plunge they will feel robbed.

I got my lifetime over a year ago, still don't regret it.

I *REALLY* hate paying monthly. So much so I actually cancelled my TOR Collector's Edition (£130), order because they didn't offer a lifetime option.

I've had 2 stipends so far, next one is in 2 weeks.

Admitted, I'm really only waiting for Guild Wars 2 to come out.

So I've started playing this as a tactical officer.

You might be better off only putting 6 points into skills, it'll give you more to spread around. You use the same amount of points going from 1-3, from 3-6, and 6-9, for 1/2 the benefit each time.

Just a suggestion mind.

Oh I see, another thing I don't get is that you aren't locked on track to the skills you put in at the start. I spend ages deliberating..

Quit this before even using my code from my order whilst using beta access :/ was going to say ill find it out and post it here but now its f2p guess theres no need

I'm having fun with this game but I have to say, I'm only playing because it's free, and if it wasn't star trek I wouldn't play it at all.

From reading the forums it seems to be a bit deeper than it appears when you get to high level pvp and stuff. I should be able to get a lot of play out of it until I get bored and move to something else

On the 2nd the 2nd anniversary event starts for 4 days. You can do a mission and claim the new Enterprise F or the Klingon flagship only while within the 4 days. There is some other stuff too like Q and some prizes which probs just be XP boosts or somit.

I shudder when I think what this game was like after release. It has come a long way. Shame we never got a new race and storyline though

Delbert.. when I get home, let me check your access to the banks.. it might be because you're on one of the lower fleet ranks at the moment.

Still cannot access higher banks....

Sleepery · 25 Jan 2012 at 10:31

Ooh, I want that Enterprise F. What tier ship is it, can't find details?

it's a new F not the old one seen in the shows, but if you're on about the new odyssey class(looks like the F) then it is a lv 50 ship (vice admiral) but supposedly there is a mission coming out during the 2nd year anniversary that lets EVERYONE test it out, and upon completion gets the ship for free and it wont be available for a while after that and by then my guess will be it will be throw into the C-store

EDIT - specs just got released for it and damn...i feel sorry for anyone who wont be getting this for free, as usual the cruisers are still best and with this, wont be knocked off the top spot for a while!

1 ensign and 1 lt. commander universal slots...

I did look @ this a couple nights ago and you should be able to now. The X and XI banks were set incorrectly.

Drop me a note ingame tonight and I'll check again, if you still can't access them.

JGBR · 26 Jan 2012 at 07:41

Anon - xi x etc are locked out to people just joining the fleet to stop raiders. You need to change the rank of the member to give access.

Which is what I ended up doing

Also the XI bank was orginally set to Fleet Admirals only..

Hardly, buying all the lifetime benefits via the Cstore costs more than a lifetime subscription. Plus a lifetime subscription gets 4800 c-store points a year for free.
