Received this in email this morning. Really liking the idea of the Veteran Rewards and the demo, just wish it sooner than every 100 days.

STAR TREK ONLINE SPECIALS

Greetings!
For you and your friends, new players and old, we're pleased to offer exciting Star Trek Online offers and promotions starting May 7, 2010!

Veteran Rewards
Our sincerest thanks to players who have invested their time with us! We'd like to send some goodies your way. The more you play Star Trek Online, the more we'll give you. Skill point bonuses, titles, costume pieces, character slots... Veterans will be rewarded every 100 days! Rewards will be retroactive, too!

Free Trial Weekend
Our first free trial weekend, called the Welcome Back Weekend, is available to former players. Welcome Back Weekend features unrestricted play and begins Friday, May 7, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific and ends Monday, May 10, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. Of course, we'll have a pre-load up early next week so everyone can get the client before the free weekend actually starts.

Refer a Friend
We want to help you bring your friends to our game. With our Refer a Friend program, you can earn rewards for introducing your buddies to Star Trek Online. You can earn special items, game time, Cryptic Points and more. The program will start on May 7.

Demo
Unlike the Welcome Back Weekend, the Star Trek Online Demo will be made available for all players starting May 7 and it features gameplay restricted to the first few missions. It's a great way to introduce your friends to the game.

Am a Lifer, have no problems with other people using the Captain's Table. However, for this to work, they have to offer something to it. As it stands just now, you cant really do much there. It would be nice to get some exclusive gear or some sort of functionality.

Other than this, quite impressed about what they are planning and cant wait to find out about these friend rewards. I might hold off giving out my buddy key!

5 people? seriously? geez.

I'm gonna have to do some hardcore recruiten' to get that.

Who has yet to sub? Contact me.

(I also think it would be very funny for the leader of the glbta fleet to be running around with the title "Master Recruiter")

*facepalm* Cryptic has a truly amazing ability, every time marketing tries to think of ways of giving us things we want and keeping their heads afloat they piss off almost their entire fanbase.

This from dtahl. um...YAY!

Before any more pitchforks get handed out... let me offer up some info before you go burning down the village.

The 3-Nacelle Future Enterprise config will be an exclusive variant of a T5 Galaxy ship we are planning to add to the game as we increase the skillcap at various points in the future. In fact I see plans on the schedule to add T5 versions of the Galaxy, Intrepid, and Defiant class.

So yes - the Future Enterprise - 3 Nacelle config is an exclusive "variant" and may be the only T5 Galaxy for a while, but there will be ways to get similar ships in the future - they just might not have the 3rd Nacelle - or front mount single phaser cannon.

you may now go back to your regularly scheduled riot...
