Star Trek Online Pre Order Bonuses
Just got an email in my inbox describing the pre-order bonuses that are available for Star Trek Online. Star Trek Online is breaking the usual pre-order mold and will offer different rewards depending on which retailer you pre-order STO from. In addition, pre-order customers also receive access to the Star Trek Online Open Beta (January 12 through January 26, 2010) and the Star Trek Online Head Start, which offers gamers an opportunity to begin playing Star Trek Online days before it releases.
Each retailer has it's own unique pre order bonus, so it is going to be a tough decision on where to get Star Trek Online. If you go with Gamestop, you get to pilot the Enterprise from the original series. On the other hand, if you go with Direct 2 Drive, you get a Multi-Spatial Personal Shield that regenerates both your shield AND health constantly. So if you are going to pre-order Star Trek Online, make sure to hit up the list below and figure out which retailer you need to get it from. At least everybody won't have the same exact bonus, thus you never know what you will encounter in the final frontier.
GameStop customers receive the ability to command the classic USS Enterprise from Star Trek The Original Series.
Amazon is offering an exclusive “Liberated Borg” Bridge Officer. This bridge officer, who comes with unique nanotechnology augmentations, assists in missions and gains experience as the player does.
Best Buy is offering their customers a fun in-game pet. As a Federation Captain, players own a Tribble of Star Trek lore that will accompany them on their travels into the final frontier. If you play a Klingon commander, you will control the boar-like Targ, a beast found on the Klingon home world of Qo’noS.
Wal-Mart has the Bonus Skill Points package. Players will receive addition skill points that enable players to improve their characters quickly.
Target customers who pre-order Star Trek Online receive a unique ground weapon – a TR-116. This rare projectile weapon is used in dampening fields and other challenging environments. The TR-116 is modified with a micro-transporter which beams the fired projectiles to targets at close range so that a user can fire without a direct line of site.
Direct2Drive customers receive an exclusive Multi-Spatial Personal Shield. This advanced personal shield system is based on Borg technology, which constantly regenerates itself and the health of its wearer.
STEAM is offering customers Chromodynamic Armor. This armor is based on technology brought back from the Delta Quadrant by U.S.S. Voyager improves the damage and critical hits of energy weapons.
