Tier X.5

So we know that Tier 5 is here to stay. For me, I think that's good. No one wants to log in one day to see their T5 ship with Mk XII is outdated and they have to grind all over again for newer stuff.

I was thinking that maybe the answer isn't making a T6, but to add unlocks to all the existing ships to up them a little.

Something like, raise the level cap to 60. At level 60, you unlock a universal console slot on any ship you currently have.

That wouldn't out-date any ships because it'd add to all. And it wouldn't necessarily give them too huge an advantage, something like having a 6th Tact slot, because you could limit it... to maybe something like it has to say universal console?

Or, what if you made specific unique unlockable slots. Like at say lvl 55, a universal slot opens up that's just for the grappler console, or anything like that?

Open up the ability to use old consoles that no one really uses. They don't *have* to use them, but as we 'level' up, we really aren't adding anything earth shattering to our ships... just giving us more options of either consoles or devices to use.

Maybe at level 65, you open up a 'extra' device slot that can only have 'X' put into it?

Anyhow, just my .02 EC

I've suggested a couple of times that Ships should get something similar to character Traits for advancement past level 50 - you can pick 1 Trait for your ship from a list. Captains should also get new abilities to add to their existing Class list as well.
