    calm down:


    if you, lets say buy a oddyssey cruiser, you get that token, then you upgrade it, and ALL chars will claim the oddy and have an "integrated" free upgrade button when they go to the shipselector.

    otherwise people would just reclaim that over and over and sell those UT, or use them on other ships ;-)

    but its working: you upgrade the oddy once, and all other chars that claim it, will get the integrated free upgrade.

    (cause you know: you only need to upgrade a storeship once, this was even before promo)

    You don't need upgrade tokens on multiple toons. Ship upgrades are account unlocks.

    But to clarify - you still need to use the Ship Selector UI to make the upgrade - but it will be for free, once unlocked.

    #1 - You are not paying attention to the information provided by Cryptic.
    #2 - You are overreacting.


    Regarding #1 - Link to the announcement about the sale:
    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1386281
    All T5 ships purchased during this sale also include one (1) free Starship Upgrade Requisition

    Regarding #2 - Once a C-Store starship is upgraded to T5u any toon on that account that claims said C-Store ship will receive the T5u version of that ship... or you simply get the T5 version but you will need to click the "Upgrade Button" which will not require an upgrade token.

    well, if that upgrade will be applied to all ships, then ok, but they should make it more clear :).

    and i dont see way how to abuse it, if it will be 1 per ship claim - sice desmising ship and getin new will dont generate new one, and it will be acount bond so no chnace to sell it.

    Each Tier 5 ship purchased will grant one (1) free Starship Upgrade Requisition
    The Claim for this Ship Upgrade Requisition will appear in the Promotions tab of the C-Store.
    If you purchase multiple ships, you will need to claim each one individually from this tab.
    This promotional Starship Upgrade Requisition is bound to account and not reclaimable.
    Tier 5 Ship Bundles will grant an equal number of Ship Upgrade Requisitions as there are upgradable ships.
    The Andorian Escort Bundle will provide three (3) Ship Upgrade Requisitions, one per upgradable ship.
    The Galaxy Bundle has three (3) ships but only two of them are upgradable, so this bundle will provide two (2) Ship Upgrade Requisitions.

    well, where is here writen that you get 1 ugrade token and all ships on all chars will be upgraded ? i dont see it.

    When upgrade tokens were introduced it was explained when you use one upgrade token on say a galaxy cruiser the T5U unlocks for this ship and fleet variant and its an account unlock. So if an alt claims the galaxy cruiser it can unlock the upgrade for free whether they have the fleet version or not.

    A flowchart on what to expect when getting things from cryptic?

    Buy thing => get ONE thing for free => Buy more things, and hope there may be something free (Expect something else though).
    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.

    It's written there, you are misunderstanding. You can only PURCHASE a C-store ship once, the first time you hit the button in the C-store. all other times you are CLAIMING it.

    The tokens, since they were introduced, have always been account wide. All versions, normal C-store and Fleet of that ship on your account will be free to upgrade, you just need to speak to the ship selector NPC and hit a button.

    The only exception to this is when you get multiple versions of the same ship. IE, upgrading a TAC Oddy will not upgrade a SCI or ENG Oddy because the system considers them different ships. Same with any ship in a 3 ship set.

    So you are not getting cheated, you are getting exactly what you paid for, you just got confused.
    Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
    What's my position?
    That people should know what they're screaming about!

    It's per variant, not per class.

    If you upgraded a Kumari Charal, all your Charals will get the option, but your Khyzons will still only be T5.
