STO LIFETIME PERKS
Greetings Lifetime Members!
We just wanted to thank you again for purchasing a Lifetime Subscription from us. As you already know, this entitles you to play the game without paying a monthly fee. But, that’s not where it ends. Later this month we’ll be releasing special perks for you, just to show our appreciation. Here’s some of what we’re working on, exclusive to Lifetime Subscribers:
Exclusive In-Game Chat Channel
Talk shop with other Lifetime Subscribers. Share thoughts and ideas about the game, or anything else.
Front-of-Queue Support
Waiting isn’t fun, and we don’t think you should have to do it. Any time the server is queued, you’ll go to the front of it.
In-Game Title
Visibly show off your support.
In-Game VIP Lounge
Spend time in an exclusive area inside the game. This social area is limited to Lifetime Subscribers only.
A Unique Costume Piece
Show off your lifetime status in style.
We’ll see you in-game, and thank you again!
-The Cryptic Team
Take from it what you will.

Ouch!
Even if I were to benefit from it, the 'Front of the Line' support actually offends me a little bit. Once the game has been going for a year and a half or so the lifers aren't the ones supporting the game. The regular subscribers are. I don't see that there should be that kind of preferential treatment.
I can understand the title and maybe the odd perk, just like with some of the pre-orders, but the VIP lounge and the chat channel seem excessive. Almost like they're trying to create an elite clique.
Honestly, it's not really going to affect the game anymore than the VIP Lounge in Pocket D does. I never have to wait in line for the server, etc., so I don't see it actually being even noticeable most of the time. It's the attitude that bugs me.
I'm guessing it's not a thank you so much as a marketing ploy to push anyone who was on the fence into committing to the lifetime subscription.

None of the benefits they mention would get me to pay for it. Granted I've already paid for it, but for reasons I've mentioned before.
I am curious about what the costume piece will be though. There's loads of options for the face, but comparatively not as much for actual uniforms.

Yeah.... They've already kept me from getting a bunch of the cool costume options from skirts to implants.
I'm curious what they're adding now. Maybe an actual Admiral's uniform or something.
