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.)
I'm actually trying to find a way NOT to buy FSM's to keep me flying my Kamarag (which is A better ship in many ways) but it's so freeking expensive to be klingon in anything other than a tac ship. The DSD's just happen to come in flavors my other toons could use- but it seems cheaper in the long run to NOT buy anything ATM and wait.

ive found 3.3k zen in about 2 hours. i expect to see a few hundred more zen tomorrow. my dilemma here, do i got for the vesta 3 pack or do i go for the sci vesta and the escort carrier instead? :P
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
T5 ships were 2k, then the "newest" wave came it at 2.5k (vesta, dyson, mogh etc). I don't see how T6's won't roll in at 3k.
I wouldn't mind being wrong though.
The newest wave (ie. 10 console fleet ship analogs) came in at 2.5k but those merely joined T5 ships cryptic was already pricing at that level.
My guess is that's an economically significant price point for this sort of content that T6 ships are also going to stick to (which makes sense according to the one price we have for any DR content, the Operations pack which is comparable to the LoR pack despite already having more content in its favor.). I could be wrong, and I would mind it if I was, but I doubt that setting a price is as unconstrained as setting console numbers and hit points.

Vesta and Escort carrier. Practically speaking with any bundle you're buying one ship and then consoles and maybe some customization options. For the price of another ship its generally not worth it (unless you have a build in mind that absolutely requires 2/3 or 3/3 bundle consoles.)

Oh the irony...
You do realize that "Oh the Irony" is stage two of the "I-Know-You-Are-But-What-Am-I?" school of argumentative warfare? Its still just a displacement of subject...(and a post like this is stage three).

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.
pretty much. there are reasons I have not bought those particular ships

Oh look, Cryptic has a sale on. Time to get mad! :mad:
I get where some of you are coming from but, yesh, give them a bit of break will ya? :P
If they were in a desert dying of thirst, and a plane airdropped bottled water, they would complain it didn't come in a glass with a lemon slice. Real intellectual giants here.
If the Z-store Dyson ships had secondary deflectors, I might be interested, but from what I've read in the forums, that isn't the case. No cash for you, Cryptic!

Save your money or spend it, it's up to you, but there will be other sales and it might be smarter to wait and see just what DR is going to be all about before you make any impulse buys now. This always happens with these sales just before a release, there is always a mountain of regret from people who spent money they wish they had held onto for something better that comes just a short time later.
If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
I don't have the Dil saved up for this. Or the Zen so I will have to pass this round. Usually I jump all over this deal. As this is how I usually get my ships.
If I could. I would go after the Mogh, Constellation, or B'Rel BoP.

From now until 10AM PDT on Monday, October 6th, 2014, we are having a 20% off sale on all ships. Have you been eyeing a new ship or ship bundle in the C-store? Now is the time to purchase the ship you've always dreamt of commanding!
I read, "Why wait two weeks for a Ferrari when you can buy a Model T today!" Are you giving a free upgrade with these?

I couldn't agree more. Plasmonic Leech on all KDF characters for 800 Zen is a very good deal.

It would be nice if they would end the total silence about T6 prices.
The newest wave (ie. 10 console fleet ship analogs) came in at 2.5k but those merely joined T5 ships cryptic was already pricing at that level.
My guess is that's an economically significant price point for this sort of content that T6 ships are also going to stick to (which makes sense according to the one price we have for any DR content, the Operations pack which is comparable to the LoR pack despite already having more content in its favor.).

Then plas and aceton now as EC consoles making the ships pointless.
The whole store is pretty much pretty fubar now.
No one begged for a 50% sale with T1-4 ships, all of a sudden it needs to bee 50% off for reasons.:rolleyes:
anywho I'm out of popcorn
Let me know the next time you buy everthing you're after. That'll give me a heads up to wait a couple days.
