They are the same thing mostly, just a different shape. They should be in the same pack :(

    well in reality they are not. they are two different ships.

    they both look different, which is pretty much the bulk of the work as the artist has to 2 ships instead of 1 and while the both have the same set up they have to be coded in individually to different factions. they fac t they are similar in many ways is irrelevant. one fighter does not mean the second just gets into the game as well. again more work.

    it would be nice if they were in the same pact as well as separate, and maybe knock a couple of hundred points off for buying both of them.

    That was the bes advertising line I've read for something to cover that they just want to double charge you.
    The next logical step would be to sell the updates and fixes also in the c-store since they have to code them individualy. :p

    This. The games I usually play, LOTRO and STO, are unfortunately the most expensive to play. F2P... haha. STO is not even F2P and well... I always wonder for what they charge next and how much. :mad:

    facts are facts. creating a fed fighter does not magically create a klingon one or visa versa. man power is needed to make both. cryptic have decided that certain items from that manpower will make it into the store. we may not like it, or maybe we do, but that's the facts.

    You'r babbeling about something you don't know nor can judge. Creating a UFP fighter does in deed take the same ammount as creating a KDF fighter but never the less - it's an act of robbery to double charge the playerbase. Booth are practicaly the same except the appearance and that's something a prfessional developerteam is clicking in a couple of hours. Oups... I forgot we'r talking about the developer team that postpone it's own scedules. ;)

    And that's where we should end this conversation

    They could have sold us both for the price of 800 Atari Points. That would have been fair as well, two ships for the price of one!

    The prices are set the way they are because enough people pay for them.

    I don´t think it was an decision by Cryptic.
    And Atari only want to suck out as much money they can from us trekkis before they sell Cryptic.

    I just have a tiny question. Feel free to ignore it...


    Is the fighter needed to play the game?
    Like right now... Instead of waiting a few weeks and craft it instead.

    Erm, I am fairly sure that C-store money (which is a misnomer, its Atari Points money, you get tokens and redeem them in the c-store) goes directly to Atari and does not actually affect Cryptic.

    Simply put, you buy points from Atari. You redeem them at Cryptic.

    EDIT: Let me reword that last bit
    You buy these worthless points from Atari, and you trade these (again, legally worthless) points to Cryptic for access to data.
    Now atari might have some commission system or something where they buy the points back at $0.20 on the $1, but they have never stated as much.
