When Econ Conversion goes Holodeck, will Ship Tokens be Converted?

edited October 2011 in Tribble - General Discussion and Feedback
I have some characters that didn't use their ship tokens at various levels (especially at RAUH1) or tokens given from, for example KDF accolades, etc.

When the new economy goes to Holodeck, and badges/marks get converted, will ship tokens also to be converted? Will those characters get a level-appropriate ship's worth of Dilithium for each of remaining ship tokens?

10/13/11 Update: Most Ship Tokens are remaining for Gold Members. Details/Questions below:

    Good question, don't know the answer to that one. I think that doing away with ship tokens, in general, is a dicey proposition as so far it doesn't sound like you get enough Dilithium to do what they used to do for you.

    I hope that, by the time the Tribble Character Copy is ready, the conversion will be ready as well. I'd very much like to see if I should just ditch my current currency ASAP or hold onto it for the conversion.

    That's not to say, once everything goes live, that they won't stealth adjust that value on the day of the patch.. >_>

    it would be nice if the ships could be resold for dilithium. i know i don't need 10 ships even that nifty one i really loved back at Commander....its time to sell it off at Crazy Ivans used Ship Emporium.


    ooo...Actually that would be nifty...a Used StarShip yard...Who says you deserve a Brand New Ship, nope you have just enough to buy that slightly used Excalibur at the back, thats right only 20,000 Light years on it... now it may have be a point or two slower at Warp...and i really wouldnt want to take it back into the Crab nebula after the last unfortunate accident... but yes sir that will get you to Commander yup.

    Just sign this waiver and off you go....

    But Seriously a slight flaw system that can be fixed by DoFF's missions for a used ship for say 2/3s the cost.

    that allows you to sell off your old ship instead of discharge it. It might even be neat to save stats on it like it took part in 200 PvP missions or made the Starbase 24 mission in 10 mintues....

    just a thought.

    No word from the Devs on this specific question, but sdangelo has said there will be a F2P Blog about the conversions this week, so here's hoping they cover this as well.

    FyreMouse while off topic, I do agree it would be nice if we could sell our old ships for some EC or Dilithium. If not back to the game vendors, let us sell them on the Exchange to other players. Having a story based "used debuff" on each ship would be cool, but I'm certain would require tech that's beyond Cryptic to do anytime "soon".

    On my first/main character I have and will continue to keep every ship I've ever flown, for sentimental reasons. But on most my other characters? Those old ships are just taking up slots at this point.

    Our EEPH has said that this would be possiable, also the ship tokens should become discount toikens if it follows the same path as every other currency.

    I would rather get Dilithium as both my toons have ship tokens they never used.

    Same here, but fair is fair.

    /me wonders what a va refit token would become, as I don't believe there's a va discount token currently...

    Yeah, my VA character still has it, I don't really like the ships available for it... and I'm actually still flying in a Nova on that character... >.>

    Oh, and before I go, we plan to re-instate the free starship token at the Lt Commander and Commander rank for all players. We plan to continue the discount token for Silver players at the Captain and Rear Admiral rank, while Gold players will get the free starship at those ranks (if they are a subscriber at the time of rank-up). We do not plan to have any free starship at the Vice Admiral rank.

    That's excellent news! But leads to other questions:
    * I expect it means that those who remain Gold Memebers will simply get to keep their existing Ship Tokens LtCmd-RA. Is this true?
    * What happens to our VA tokens? Will these be converted to Dilithium?
    * This doesn't affect me, but will there will be something in the Silver-to-Gold Converter that will handle these tokens, and if so, how will they be handled?

    It'd be nice if it got converted to some CP but since that's not going to happen, enough refined dilithium for a T5 ship would be suitable.
