    Good thing PvP is dead then... Silence the little epeen pre-teens.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Wait for more details before jumping to conclusions. It's irrational to be paranoid with such little information available.

    They have already said that the current line up of ships will be "competitive" but will not have access to any of the new "cool abilities" the t6 ships will have. Anyone who believes their current ships be it lockbox, c-store, or fleet will be on par with t6 are fooling themselves. I can use a t3 ship in end game content and be "competitive" but that doesn't make the ship as good as a top of the line fleet or lockbox ship.

    With that said - I'm excited to see what the expansion will bring, but at the same time I'm worried about all my favorite ships being pushed into obsolescence and being forced to use some cryptic designed abomination. Time will tell...I will hope for the best. :)

    We actually have plenty of info...
    No. We don't. Especially not sufficient enough to be this paranoid. There are 40 dev blogs between now and release date, and we've seen one announcement with vague info.

    Can you demonstrate this claim?

    The way i expect it to happen is you can upgrade your current ship to tier 6 (extra weapon slots, boff slots etc etc), but the new ships will come with even snazzier consoles and weapons and whatever else that is unique to the c-store only. so you buy the tier 6 ship and can then out put the new abilities onto your old ships.

    so pretty much how it is now. the other options seem to be release a small number of tier 6 ships that are significantly powerful and that means people might have to ditch the ships they love, or they make a tier 6 of literally every ship we currently have which seems a lot of work and would be quite confusing.

    i will wait to hear more but im not worried at the moment.

    Yeah, it got an additional console slot and brought it up to 10.

    All the lockbox ships got an upgrade when the fleet hit. The galor got hull and shields as well as an extra sci console.

    If the T6 ships include stat boosts and not just some gimmick like the singularity stuff. I would expect the lockbox ships would all get a bump. They aren't going to throw away a massive revenue source by making people feeling ripped off with there golden egg ships.

    The fleet ships are not likely to get any bonus at all.

    About the only way the lockbox ships get scre*ed over on this one is if there idea of trying to not tick people off is by adding a slot for a crafted component that addes Stuffs to a ship... in the form of T6 powers + stats bonuses. (which might not be a bad way to go). If that is the case and lockbox ships all have the same empty slot as the rest of the fleet and T5.5 zen store ships.... it may not be to bad. As long as these components are not going to have massive sinks required. (it would also be nice if they do it that way to have them be movable... so those of us with multiple fleet and lockbox ships on some of our toons are not locked into months or years of grinding)
