A thought about fleet Starships

A suggestion about the fleet ships, I'm a solo PvP'er and have no interest in joining a Fleet. Therefor the fleet ships are something i will never get to enjoy.
I would like to suggest an alternative so that people who play as I do, however few they are may use the fleet ships. there is already a shipyard in each home system so why not utilize those?
Add a category to the Doff assignments, call it Shipwright or something, and after gaining a level instead of receiving a Doff you get a token allowing you to claim a Fleet ship of the appropriate rank.
Just one ship, and not the Fleet Specials with 10 equipment slots and extra Boff slots, and it must take more to earn than the normal shipyard available to someone in a fleet, add in the cost of the ship components and I think it is viable.
How ever if you disagree or just didn't bother reading the full post please Flame away!

I'm sure that would require some exotic rare uber-tech that would take years to develop... put a stop to all other development and randomly cause fire and brimstone to fall from the sky... but something like this would really help fleets working towards reaching their goals while giving players who don't want to deal with fleet drama access to all the ships in the game.

The Odyssey class is already a 10 console Fleet quality ship, available for purchase from the Z-Store... (And I purchased my Odyssey 3-Pack using in-game assets, saving up and converting Dilthium to C-Points/Zen.)
The Cardassian 'Galor' and Ferengi 'D'Kora' are also 10 console Fleet quality ships, and can still be purchased on the Exchange. (But for very large sums of ECs) And the current 'Lock Box' Tholian ships are also 10 console ships... Since you're not a member of a Fleet, there's a good market for selling Duty Officers on the Exchange. And once your character is at max-level cap and fully out-fitted, what else are you going to spend your Dilithium on ???
No one is forcing you too to join a fleet, but then you wont have access to the fleet ships either.
You could of course buy one of the many lockbox ships as said above, which are the same level as the fleet ships.
As far as fleet ships go, then that should remain as is.
I'm disappointed to hear that, however, Fleet ships should stay as fleet ships.
If you want one join a fleet. There should be no other way to get one other then being in a fleet.

just ask around, sure you will find some fleets that will sell it for a smaller fee.
Yeah though unless you had already been in a fleet, you would not have the fleet credits to buy any of the ships. So simply "selling" fleet provisions for ec means nothing to someone who has never been in a fleet

Apparently there is a forum poster that is almost at a Tier 3 Starbase in a solo fleet.
Easiest method is pay millions of EC to a fleet leader or contribute some resources, contribute some resources to their fleet for the Fleet Credits, and buy a fleet ship.
Though you may be surprised and find you like the fleet and stay becuase you made friends of its members.
