I'm fine with the current system. If I want to keep a Tier 5 ship on a character, I upgrade it eventually. If I see a Tier 6 that I want for a character, I buy it.
It's a choice to indulge in a "want", not a "need".
What i would want is to have ships upgradable to have the same boff slots etc as a t6 fleet level ship. Spec boff slots are optional, especially with boff powers coming in lockboxes.

Oh and OP, I already bought end-game gear, I'm not giving Cryptic anymore money to make them end-game again, whether that is from "upgrades" or from repacking the ships as T6, I've given all I'm going to give for end-game gear
Sadly, this ship had already sailed, since Cryptic would not allow paid upgrades to MU lock box ships, despite the fact that players still had to pay to bring them into the game. Since so many T6 ships have been available free, I don't see that they will ever change...
