why are some items blanked out as "your character cannot use this item" or "you are restricted from buying this item"



not that ill spend a penny more on this game, was just wondering

BTW i'm not on about a fed trying to buy klink stuff.

some costumes,BOF's and other various items all have this.

Its because you cannot purchase items that are above your rank... (You have to grow up to become a nice RA first to use those Tier 5 ships...) Or items not allowed on that character (e.g. Feds wearing a Klingon uniform...)

2x VA's almost 3. it's nothing to do with rank and it's not ships i cant get. its mostly packs,tribbles and costumes.

thats why im slightly confused as to why they would limit someone from buying stuff from there cash cow.
