Season 6 removed all ship costumes from the c-store.
Because all ship costumes were suposedly becomnig fleet ship variants, with those costumes.

where is the imperial costume, where is the fleet assault cruiser, why is it not a fleet ship like you said?

WHY?:eek:

    Cuz the regular AC rocks so hard, if they made a fleet version, it would become cruisers online again XD.
    It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once. B)

    By all accounts, this ship is coming, and probably coming sometime in the next 6 months. Let's look at the facts:

    1) In game, the (laughable) console on the Regent also says it can also be equipped on a "Fleet Assault Cruiser Retrofit." So, we have this reference in game.

    2) Once upon a time, there was a "Fleet Assault Cruiser" on Tribble, and even though its stats and layout are surely outdated by now (it'll probably instead be a +1 Regent), the thought was there.

    3) Elsewhere on the forums, Tacofangs said the devs were "looking at" what other fleet ships to add during season 7. Given #1 and #2, this is probably the ship at the top of this list.

    The question really is then, at what tier will this ship be? If the answer is Tier 5, I'd honestly rather they not put one in the game...the grind is just to much for my fleet. Tier 3 or lower please!

    completely agree with this reasoning.

    completely agree that it should be tier 3.

    little off topic, maybe a fleet dreadnoguht would be more fitting for tier 5?

    Yes, Fleet Regent plox.

    If they did make a Fleet Galaxy-X, I would hope they would shuffle around some of the BOFF seatings ala the Fleet Tor'Kaht to give the Dreadnaught some serious teeth.

    Agreed.

    As much as I love my Regent, there is no way on Earth I'm going to see a T5 starbase, and considering the pain of the grind required to get one... ew.

    That said, on Tribble it was T5, so I'll bet that's where it's going. To my chagrin. :(

    You mean like a REAL fleet Oddy or something like that? Or are you referring to the infamous Jupiter class XD.

    Cuz in all honesty, the Fleet Oddy cannot compare to the C-store ones, same for the Bortas. If they were to go with this, I would say make the fleet version of the Oddy/Bort able to have all 3 consoles equipped, but without using any of the 10 consoles. Make them have extra slots, like hangars are on carriers, and able to put the unique consoles there XD. Then you would have the additional consoles like regular fleet ships, and also give both of those +.05 to their shield mod (bring it up to 1.2). And if you want to be truly cruel, give them an additional +4200 hp each. So there you have it folks, +10% hp, and a small shield boost, and the ability to have all 3 consoles and still have 10 engi/sci/tac consoles. I would say that's acceptable as a fleet version of those ships.

    BUUUUUUUT probably a little OP. Ok who am I kidding, OP AS BALLZ!!!! However, on a side, note, these ships are supposed to be the flagships, so maybe them being a little OP wouldn't be so bad. But at least if this was put in, it would give it to both KDF (Bortas), and Starfleet (Odyssey). And if they put this in, I would get the bort 3 pack and both the bort and oddy fleet ships. I WOULD pay money for this (mostly cuz I love my oddy that much lol).

    Don't take this too seriously though, since I know 1) It will never happen, 2) If it does, it won't happen ANYTHING like what I just put down, and 3) The uproar here and in game... will be quite tumultuous. XD

    If they do decide to put the Fleet AC refit at a higher tier they should give it more improvements, not just this ship but any ship above tier 4 as it will take for to long to achieve, We all have other things to do. Anyway do you think they will use the boff layout from the tribble thread or make a new one? Also what else should they do to the fleet AC refit?

    here is some information on the supposed fleet ac - http://www.stowiki.org/Fleet_Assault_Cruiser_Refit

    Fleet sovy would be a T5 shipyard ship. So no need to implement it for like another half year anyway....

    It will take to long to get it, if they do decide to put it there it better be worth it for being such a high tier.

    If they put this ship at tier 5, for me it'll be the same as if it didn't exist. I'm in a small, tight knit fleet that has a lot of fun together and has no desire to merge with a larger fleet. As such, Tier 3 is roughly the cap for each of our starbase tiers.

    So Cryptic, I submit this to you:

    Either make this ship tier 3 and take my money

    OR

    Make this ship tier 5, and many people like myself (and others in this thread) will just decide to pass on the Fleet Assault Cruiser Refit.


    The choice is yours. I will continue to play either way, but I will only be putting money in one way.

    Well Galaxy is T4, would not be logical to put a more advanced starship to lower tier...

    Absolutely agreed.

    I am not going to grind for two years with my motivation being an opportunity to throw $20 ($5 with fleet modules, I hope) down for a ship that I may never see. I'll just be satisfied with my Ody and my Regent if it comes to that.

    I wonder just how well fleet ships are selling - both in terms of selling to Cryptic, and how well the super-fleets are managing to sell their T4 ships.

    Noted, and if the shipyard was consistent in this regard, I would agree. However, by that logic, the Intrepid then shouldn't be a T5 fleet ship, as other, newer ships (like the Prometheus, for one) are available at lower tiers. The game rarely lines up with canon logic...just see any of the debates over the Excelsior on these forums to see what I mean.

    I really feel that the ship tiers in the fleet shipyard are derived more from financial motivations than canonical or gameplay ones. I wasn't trying to be bitter or anything, and if Cryptic choose s to make the fleet AC tier 5, I'm not going to "rage quit"...but I am saying that they won't get money from me or many other willing customers.

    We all don't want to have to join 500 person "mega fleets" just to get what we want. I am loyal to my fleet, and I will not leave it over a ship. It is as simple as that.

    Move Fleet Galaxy to T3 to cover the glaring lack of T3 Cruisers and then put the Fleet Regent at T4.

    Could work.

    Agree, I would buy the reagent for the console and weapon to use on the fleet assault cruiser. Also, it needs the imperial costume.

    note: even if there isnt a fleet AC, I want my imperial costume back in the Z-store :)
