    I have one in a box, but was considering selling it on, in light of the fleet patrol escort... Think I'll hang onto it for a bit longer now :p

    I agree with this. Why entice us to pay the money for them if they quickly become non-competitive to the next money grab item?

    This just proves how much of a tard Al is.

    The Jem ship, Dkora, and Galor are already better than everything else on the field, if anything they need to stay where they are BECAUSE THE FLEET SHIPS WILL ONLY BE JUST AS GOOD, (and this is only in some cases as well... like the Vorcha for tacs.) stop messing with things you don't understand Al.

    I hope they put some of the T5.5 c-store ships through an update aswell. The Heavy Escort Carrier will be pretty much second best compared to all of these fleet ships. 5x tac console tactical escort? I have enough trouble fending off one with 4x tac consoles.

    these fleet ships arent THAT much better then non fleet ships. the 10th console is nice, but the increases in hitpoints and shield mod are never any more then 10%, and aside from some interesting station setups on only a few ships, there really isn't all that much there worth grinding for. unless one of your favorites is now tier 5 for the first time.

    im glad the fleet ships arent over the top powerful though. the lock box ships are completely fine as is, they are already the best ships of their type.

    Lockbox ships are just supposed to be vanity items, theres no reason at all to buff them.

    In fact canonicly speaking the Bug, Galor and Marauder are all ships that are "inferior" to Starfleets and the KDF's top of the line ships.

    I think less people have a problem with the fleet ships themselves (although I'm really not looking forward to dealing with a five-Tac console escort) and more with what they represent, which is an indisputable case of power creep. It's not going to be a big deal even when fleet ships are on the field, but it always starts with little things and ends with older content becoming completely obsolete.

    Awww man this is some bullcrap. I'm totally against upgrading 'vanity' item lockbox ships. I foresee this as more p2w.

    wait i thought the idea of the lockbox ships was so that they could sneak in alien ships because they were rare. thats what cbs told them, making fleet versions will make them not so rare... right?

    Yeah, that's typical Al.

    And in this case "looking at" probably means it's all ready set in stone. :(

    I imagine they'd only be available to people who already have them, or they may even be upgraded for free.

    The bonus is additive.
