LTS subscribers

May 31, 2017 Drevent1 link
Giving Goliath testing to LTS was a brilliant idea but now that has ended
I sugest giving something else to long term subscribers
I have no idea what it should be but anyone who is prepared to pay a full sub month after month should have access to something that f2p / casual subscribers cant have
If it was something game changing like the Goli was it would likely increase the amount of LTS

LTS also have exclusive access to the Corvus Greyhound Camo, below.

Otherwise, the point is to be supportive and gain early-access to new things, not to have permanently "game-changing" exclusive access. That turns into Pay-to-Win, which is not what I'm about.

There may be more benefits eventually, but they'll be more like liveries and things that don't directly impact gameplay.

I am not in any way suggesting any form of PTW but a paint job on a ship LTS can buy anyway isn't going to get you more LTS which is what this post is about

I agree that Pay-To-Win is bad, and that just liveries might not be quite enough, if that were the only thing ever done. Perhaps there could be other perks that don't change the game:

-Ships that look different, but share all specs with a model available to everyone.
-Weapons that share specs, but have a different color or sound.
-Greater storage
-LTS-only sectors or bases that offer no strategic advantage.

Drevent, you are inherently subscribing, and gaining all the benefits of subscribing (which F2P people don't have), like constructing capships and so on.

LTS is just a bit of an additional bump up, if you're willing to commit to subscribing over a longer term.

I'm not making special, wholly-unique ships that are permanently exclusive to the LTS. Any permanently exclusive content that creates a genuine advantage becomes a PTW problem.

If you'd like to suggest permanent content that won't possibly create any advantage, but will still be of interest to new LTS people, sure I'm open to ideas [EDIT: As Whistler is doing]. But generally that limits to things like paint jobs.

Frankly, we'll probably see a bump in LTS every time we put something new into testing. We saw that with the Goliath, I'm sure we will again with the Capella.

i think a livery here and there and the occasional early access is good enough

Aye. I'd be using the 2-year subs anyway, even if I got no other reward than the facts that they're both more economical and also minimize my bookkeeping.

i think you should give at sometime access to the corvus vulture anniversary at a new bunch of people. This would make a lot of people happy; Maybe not a LTS reward maybe just another VO anniversary event, maybe a player sub anniversary like 5 years subbed 80% of the time. And if you want to make it unique, in the description just write why the ships access was granted. 5th year VO Anniversray, 5th year subbed anniversary (or could be a badge like alpha or beta).
