just musing as to whether this new cruiser is going to follow suit with the rest of the Ship skins ingame ~ being attached to fleetships?
Or is it going to be a part of a new z.. C-STORE, ship with a delicious overpowered toy?
Any thoughts/ideas/musings ?
(if its ANOTHER carrier variant i predict slamming my face into my desk

If you look at the material from the pics you'll see it's not the Fleet material, which means at minimum the default Regent design isn't a fleet ship. Besides, they have yet to reveal a fleet ship design that's exclusive to fleets. And that doesn't make a lot of business sense since Fleet ships are harder to come by for obvious reasons. Why sell a fleet-only ship for 2000z to fleeters who do nothing but complain about starbase grinding and vow never to buy fleet modules when you could sell a C-store ship to everyone?
Besides, they're calling it a refit, so a C-store ship with a new console is probably the way to go, with a Fleet variant introduced later. The fleet variant will probably have access to the now-lost Imperial skin option, too.
basically that
Oh, and the Fleet Variant will be the formerly-on-Tribble "Fleet Assault Cruiser", but its boosts will be identical to whatever this Refit gets (extra console, better boff layout?), minus the special console, plus 10% to shields and/or hull.
That's SUPER tempting for fleeters who want a fleet assault cruiser, since they now have the chance to get a cool console, a cool skin, and a discount on a fleet ship. For 2500z plus whatever they'll pay for a ship module (z or exchange).
TL;DR MONEY
