A sale is a sale though the timing is not very good on cryptics part
now is the time to go buy those ships with the nice universal consoles
like the plasmonic leech for KDF players buying the vandal
so stop complaining about this sale and go get those consoles cause once DR comes out they will come in handy.
again the timing of the sale is not good
Oh I think it is a good time for Cryptic. People have bought lots of zen from the Crystalline entity and Bonus Dilithium weekends so they are being given an opportunity to spend it before the new stuff comes out so they can be encouraged to buy more zen to buy ship upgrade tokens. Right now nobody knows how much zen to hold back for tokens as nobody knows how much they will cost yet.
What ships are not included? Tempest, Constellation?
I am sorry that I ask but after a few minutes STO just hung up on my pc, and I dare to make a second attempt to start the game
all are on sale. except in my case the oberth the rhode island the dysons the constellation and the tempest are for sale. all the others are available.
And why is calling out whingers over their rot 'palpable', yet it's apparently perfectly agreeable that people whinge?
Or at least that's how I interpret your post here...
Perhaps there are forum users getting tired of seeing a barrage of semi-literate, entitled rants?
I have no issues with people expressing an opinion, but the bulk of posts lately are asinine rants that offer no more input than 'Cryptic Sucks!'... If that's all someone is going to offer, then they open themselves up to being accused of whining..
Form a reasoned, rational and logical statement, that is actually based on factual evidence or experience, and not merely supposition and ill conceived assumptions, and perhaps there would be less of the 'I hate whiners!' responses?
And this is a perfect example of what I am referring to...
i'd suggest stop whining. man, even your @handle whines.
The fact that people are complaining about a ship sale really does drive home the fact that, for some still completely indeterminable reason, the forums are overrun with people all too quick to jump onto the 'I Hate Cryptic!' bandwagon, yet apparently insist on playing STO anyway...
Quick, better grab your torches and pitchforks, lest you be late joining in on the lynching!
Call it a "Me, too!" moment. But you're spot-on, imruined.
And I've been wanting the console from the Vandal destroyer for my KDF toon, so this is a good time to get the ship. Will I fly it? Maybe. After all, not all STO content is specific to T5/T5-U/T6... :P
(Yes, I enjoy occasionally pulling the Oberth, NX-01 and Constitution ships out of drydock. It's a game, folks. Find the fun where you can!)

Even if it ran weeks longer.....new ships are never included in ship sales.
Picked up the Constellation because it's pretty and I want to play around with the Picard maneuver, and the Vandal Destroyer purely for the console. At 800 each I think it's pretty good. :cool:

hate as got nothing to do with it, I love my wife but it doesn't stop me complaining when she does something that gets on my nerves.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
Hmm... 3750 instead of 5k for the 3-pack of DSD's across all my KDF toons- that'll be upgraded to T-6 for free.
Hmm, and the fleet version should be 1FM.
Actually, the bundle is 4000z, not 3750 (I checked at lunch) but your point is still valid. I hadn't even thought about that - I had been planning on using my Anniversary DSD but might have to consider the bundle now...

That IS a pretty good troll !
everything you wrote is wrong
1) The DSD 3-sets are not getting a free upgrade. Furthermore you will have to buy a T5-FU upgrade for each of them separately if you want to bring them all up to T5-FU status.
2) The free/giveaway DSD *is* getting a free upgrade to basic T5-U. Depending on how you look at it, that ship may or may not be better than the base C-store DSD ships. However it will be less effective than the 3-pc DSDs that are given a paid upgrade.
This is a ship sale I know I won't be doing since the ships are about to be demoted pretty much. Sort of like a going out of business sale. Or make room for the new model sales car dealers have every year.

Lifetime no longer gives a forum title. That should be updated on the Lifetime page that mentions what you get. PMing the CSR doesn't work neither.

It's only the Anniversary/600 Lobi Dyson Destroyer that gets the free upgrade, the C-Store ones will all cost you. Relevant link.
Edit; Or, what ursusmorologus replied while I was thumbing through things to get that link.
This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

:eek:
Yer right, thanks for making me re-read the upgrade ship list. Ya talked me out of the purchase. For a small fee an upgrade to T6 would be nice, but it only gets to T5U. NO SALE !
**I never got the 'free' DSD so the warp core would have to be purchased via the rep system.
all are on sale. except in my case the oberth the rhode island the dysons the constellation and the tempest are for sale. all the others are available.
Thanks, I just closed the game. Didnt expect to see ALL current C-Store ships in the sale this time.
I bought the Constellation and the Tempest for my Feds and only the Mogh for my KDF.
Couldnt find anything interesting for my Rom, maybe I will buy the T5 T'Varo later. I am not a fan off all those Warbird, Bird-of-Prey designs. Have the Romulans always used bird shaped ships only?
I am still not sure if I should buy the Fed Dysons.. I mean they all look the same exceptt a little difference in the texture and the consoles are pretty.. meh I think.

1. Rep system warp core is not the same as the one that came on the ship.
2. Assuming Cryptic isn't going to throw us any curve balls on the price of T6 ships and T5-U upgrades, buying a DSD now and upgrading it to T5-U is probably going to cost the same as buying a DSD or T6 ship normally. It's 2,000 plus the likely 500 of T5-U, versus 2,500 normally which is probably where the first round of T6 ships are going to end up.
If you don't see anything in the pool of intel ships you like better than the DSD's, definitely pick up the latter. The warp core isn't essential either, its just nice if you're planning on using the Solanae equipment set (which IMO isn't the best choice on these guys.)

Oh well I guess I will finally get my Odyssey bundle

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
yeah but I already got most of them
That's why I don't understand all these "Waahhh Tier 5 ships are useless, no one will buy them" ranters.
What do we have at the moment for T6? Half of the players complain about the Intel ships and the other complain about the rest...
before you get too excited..
Blue phasers have CrtH only, and 321.4 DPS on my configuration, whereas the biomatter [acc] CrtD] DPS is 339.3 def an issue with accuracy and DPS

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
This might be the smartest thing I've read in weeks. Especially since it never occurred to me.
Brilliance.
Even if it ran weeks longer.....new ships are never included in ship sales.
That's why I was surprised to see the Constellation included in the sale.. But then it is only tier 3(?).
Most people probably just buy it to use the Constellation skin on their T5 heavy cruiser anyway.
hate as got nothing to do with it, I love my wife but it doesn't stop me complaining when she does something that gets on my nerves.

I need a Delta Rising Pack thrown in to take those ships.

every ship currently in the c store is on sale including the tempest and constellation.. is that clear enough?
8K if you buy all nine ships
1) The DSD 3-sets are not getting a free upgrade. Furthermore you will have to buy a T5-FU upgrade for each of them separately if you want to bring them all up to T5-FU status.
