Thanks for the invite
I was wondering if someone could write here a small template or instructions for the fleet uniform. I saw the screencap but more detailed instructions might be helpful..like the uniform type and the code numbers for the colors.
Thank you on advance

Not necessary. In the uniform creator should be a dropdown menu that lets you pick the ready template. You just need to add your rank pins and the fleet emblem.

Only if you plan on actually buying all that stuff, though. If you're not buying multiple costumes for each character, and running lots of characters, pick fewer ships, a lot of that money drops out. Buying a few more bank slots, an occasional ship, etc. might end up being a lot cheaper. Those cost estimates usually assume no self control and buying everything available, all the time.

Using 1000 days also assumes this thing goes strong for 3 more years, and you want to play the whole time. Honestly, we're celebrating the 2nd anniversary, and they jsut wrapped up taking an entire year off from any real new content to play with. STFs get boring REALLY fast, so after a point, you're going to get burned out if they don't start dropping content a LOT faster. 2 FEs a year isn't going to cut it. At 5 episodes a FE, that's less than one 30-40 minute episode per month.

Cryptic has gotta step up their game, or once the F2P novelty wears off, they'll be back where they were at the end of last year, but without a new gimmick on the horizon to pretend they are focusing on, and nothing left to save the ship...

All very true, but then that's the gamble with a lifetime sub.

Is there still any way to get the Jeh'Hadar attack ship? Probably not, but I thought I'd ask. The Dev blog says the next Featured Episode is going to involve one in some way, although I doubt they'd make it required.

There is, basically it's get a whole lot of energy credits and go to the exchange

Representing the TBBS!



I also made a "duty" version where I reversed the colors:



I then made similar ones for my officers. I went with the dark shades for the other department colors (A4, C4), and gave them silver rank/insignia and no belt.

Went ahead and got that for a friend of mine, since I couldn't use it for my own. He only gets to play when he's over here, so I'm going to be working on his to get him high enough for the Odyssey.

[Rocketeer]

It's a good deal. Essentually it's equal to a 10 day buddy pass, NX Enterprise - 400c, Enterprise Uniform - 440c and an 8hr XP boost - 780c.


Leptoon - if you're still looking for a buddy pass, this could be a better deal for you.

That would've been nice to know about a few days ago.

[Kaziarl]

If you're still a new silver player, I still think you can do it. I made my friends account a couple days ago, and it worked on his.

[CorporalClegg]

Well how "new" is "new"? I'm LC now. I don't think I'd get much benefit from it. Though there's the possibility I might go with an Engineer at some point. That might be the better option even. If I can still get it for my account, I can work on engineer between now and Thursday and just get the Odyssey for him.

There's always the option of dual accounts, I do have a million and one emails. Though I've always looked down on people who do that.

[Kaziarl]

I think in this case "New" is likely anyone who's made an account post F2P launch.

[Kaziarl]

I didn't think about this before, but it might be interesting to find out if it means "New" PWE accounts, which means all of us old farts could still get it maybe? Might be a good loophole.

Sorry, but I posted the moment I found out.

To be honest, I haven't read the user agreement since I started in 2010. I don't remember if there are any restrictions on having more that one account. One of my friends had 3 gold memberships (1 life and 2 recurring) for testing ship builds. However, I haven't seen him since SWTOR came out.

Just curious if you work at WSMR. That's where I picked up this identity. I used to love working the research rocket missions.

I don't know. I was assuming that it only works on a silver membership. If you have a friend that hasn't come over yet, this is a good time.

I'm not that interested in the NX Enterprise (although it's a fun ship) or Enterprise uniforms, but an 8hr skill bonus would be sweet.
