Special Unlocks are no longer once per character!

[GMDestra]

TRANSMISSION FROM CRYPTIC - BIORHYTHYMIC C-STORE MODULE DISABLED

Greetings, Captains.

I am sending this message to inform you that the functionality for Special Unlocks has changed.

Items redeemed via the Special Unlocks tab of the C-Store can now be redeemed an unlimited number of times, as the once-per-character restriction has been removed.

In the event that you lose one of these items, you can now obtain a replacement via the C-Store.

The following items are affected by this change:

• NX Prefix
• Automated Defense Battery
• Chromodynamic Armor
• Federation Borg Bridge Officer
• Klingon Borg Bridge Officer
• Neodymium Deflector Dish
• Multi-spatial Personal Shield
• Pet Shuttle
• Red Matter Capacitor
• TR-116 Carbine Phaser Rifle
• USS Enterprise
• Targ Pet
• Tribble Pet


Of course, you can still only use one at a time. This fix is only to help you out if you accidentally lose or destroy your Special Unlock.

If you unintentionally redeem multiple copies of the same item, you can reclaim the inventory space by Destroying the duplicates. Simply drag and drop the duplicates outside your inventory screen, and click the confirmation dialogue to permanently discard the items.

END TRANSMISSION

huh. interesting. before the restrictions were lifted i could have sworn i was able to purchase the personal shield multiple times.

good news though.

That's awesome! I pre-ordered the game from EB Games and it gave me the Enterprise; when I was renaming my ship, I made a spelling mistake and now it'll cost me 3000 Starfleet merits to fix it.

Now I can simply discharge this one, re-acquire the new one and name it correctly.

Thank you so much for this great and wonderful news!

Okay. Most of these are not unique equip it seems. So a person may benefit by having one for each slot. However, it would also seem that the ship and the Borg Officer are unique equip.

With regards to the ship, I don't see why it's unique equip unless it's a code limitation that restricts you to one ship of each type since a person can only use one of these at a time. Having a fleet of these is LESS gameplay impacting than having three red matter capacitors or eight tribble pets or eight chromodynamic armors.

Anyway, since this change does result in the preorder bonuses stacking "as much as is needed", I would urge you to consider lifting the "one per" restriction on the Borg Bridge Officer. I know I'm not the only one who's created a "fake" all Borg crew and every slot that I can fill with another true Borg of any kind is a slot I'd gladly fill.

Most of these benefits, when you allow unlimited redemption, practically mean that the bonus is now for every bridge officer slot. If those Best Buy guys can equip their whole party with pre-order Tribbles forever, you think you could see fit to let all my engineers be Borg?

Thanks!

By the way, you may want to just have them remove the following line from tomorrow's patch notes if what is in the OP is the new norm, as the patch note isn't even relevant if there aren't any once per character items. (And lets also hope that the patch doesn't break whatever you just changed.)

C-Store - Special Unlocks - "One unlock per character" message was not being display until after the item had been unlocked but is now shown sooner.

It would be nice being able to have more than one borg on my liberated borg character's ship

Awesome! I just outfitted my entire bridge crew with Chromodynamic Armor.
