Additional Info-- Scales with Level, Screenshot:http://www.technocrew.net/main.php?g...serialNumber=2


So how is Cryptic going to make these game-impacting items earnable in-game? The Borg Bridge Officer is about the equivalent of a efficient Saurian so it's probably the best BO in the game trait wise. The TOS Enterprise ship comes with Beams that scale with level, so no reason to buy any new ones.
Is adding any these exclusive items a good idea? Anything in the future labeled as "exclusive", "unique" or "time-limited" won't mean squat as people will know it will eventually go onto the C-Store for probably a much cheaper price. If Cryptic does decide to add these, all items should go onto the C-Store at the same time, or none at all.

It's a horrible idea. There are some folks who invested significant time and money purchasing many copies of the game in order to receive those items for the sake of exclusivity.

If the items provided from Pre-Order copies, Collector's Edition, or Refer a Friend Promotions, are available from C-Store, then the "Pre-Order" life-time subscribers' precious little Liberated Borg should be available via C-Store as well.

By the way, I never saw "Radiometric Converter" before. Pretty cool.

/support!!

Why those people bought so many copies of the game is not relevant to the actual sale, that´s just their personal motive for doing so. And i think that´s part of the apocalyptic forum rage going on, people made up their own contracts in their heads and are understandably p....ed that reality and thus cryptic does not conform.

I would like to buy the Borg-Tribble, the playable Borg, the Trill, ships...or something like that too in the C-Store, but I also see the Problem of those who bought the game mutliple times... But I think, there would be a Way to make it fair... Give them some Extra-Play-Time for every code or something like that... I hated the Del Tacco spezial... I´m in Germany, without a Del Taco, so I couldn't get that code... I think you would have bought it in the C-Store

How are these items any less UNIQUE?

I don't follow that.

That why you buy one copy of the game like normal people and wait for the rest to hit the C-Store like every other MMO

One of the pre-order bonuses was 500 Cryptic Points. I hope they put THAT on the C-store, for like...250cp

Hahahaha good one. =P

Yeah, i would sooooooooo buy it.
