One Thing in DR I am Thankful For

I remember there was a serious concern amongst Pre-Tempest FPE Owners that their ships wouldnt make it into the T5-Upgrade list. But after logging on to my character the day of DRs release. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was upgradeable. And even more so. The Epic Phaser TailGun had been tossed on my ship. Even though the FPE was a Pre-Tempest Ship.

So Id like to say thank you to Geko, if he did look into the issue as I had brought it to his attention on Twitter. If not. Still thanks Cryptic for looking out for the Pre-Tempest FPE group.

I know theres a lot of things wrong with the release of DR. But for me this is not one of them.

    I wasn't too happy with it, because I already had a Tempest to upgrade. I wanted my old patrol escort to be it's own T5-U ship, not a second Tempest.

    I'm keeping my old Fleet Patrol Escort as is. Cryptic may consider it an outdated relic, but I don't.

    I understand where youre coming from. I also own a Tempest separately of the FPE. But I recall quite a few people upset that they originally were expected to buy a second FPE to gain access to the TailGun for their FPE.

    Tempest (and I don't own any version of it) should have automatically gotten the T5U upgrade for free. Any ships released within a certain time frame of DR should have been upgraded for free.

    The greed is strong with this company.

    I like having 5 Boff seats not 4, so I won't be spending 700zen on an 'upgrade', especially after I already bought the FSMs for the Fleet Patrol Escort.

    unless it got the BO layout change to the tempest's, its still not the same. you just got a free weapon with the update.

    Edit: It did. The Universal BO slot that was a Lt replaced the Lt Cmdr Tac Slot and there is no longer a fifth Slot for Lt Universal.

    The upside is that the Console Layout was retained.
