Thought on event ships that may appease the masses

Why not add them to the Lobi Store as character unlock? Those of us that run the event get the account unlock and those that don't have to purchase through the Lobi Store. Unless I am mistaken, that is how the Dyson ship is going with its WC and Secondary Deflector.

That is a good idea. The Dyson Science Destroyers are still available at the Lobi Store for 600 Lobi, Why not the others?

I would be fine with it if the event in question is not a reaccuring ones, such as the winter or summer events that you can go back an gain the ship again.

But you're not going to be allowed to get the ships again anymore.

So far that is only for the summer event ships not been said on the winter event yet, but I agree if they are going to remove the ability to get it than maybe putting a season/event based c-shop option would work. Such as that during the you could buy it in the store but only during the event. What i see as more of an issue is the two ships from the summer event are said to be being retired, as such i think that might mean they are wanting to make event items/ships more of a pride item to say you were there an interacted during the event. In this way i can see why justy putting the ship into the c-store might be seen as a bad move an cause alot whining from players seeing it as a greed move.

What if it were more maybe a skin that could be applied to a ship of the same class/type to give that appearnce, allowing those that were at the event an got the ship in game to not feel they are being gipped for their time spent obtaining it.

Meh. I have all the event ships. So long as my unlock stays and I can get them on all my future alts, they can sell them to others in the Lobi store all day long. I got mine "for free" and had mine longer than the new people who will be paying for them.

Yeah, some people will complain about buying something that goes on sale the next day, or other people getting something that used to be "special," but come on. The holiday ships (save perhaps the Chel Grett, Sarr Thelin, and the Nandi) are not that great, really. The Chel is outclassed by the Nandi. The Sarr doesn't really keep pace with the Recluse, and just about any serious carrier pilot out there will work their way into a Recluse eventually. The other 3 never really were worth much of anything, imo. (Tho I *LOVED* my neon pink ships!) I digressed, but I never did get on with the idea of "I did X to get something, so now some time later you did Y and I don't think its fair."

The Dyson and the Kobali ship there... those really should be available (The dyson currently is, I never cheched the Kobali one) because they have equipment that is part of other ship sets. I see no reason why not to allow the other ships to be acquired in a similar manner.

Just claimed all the ships for my Delt alt on the events tab in the rep. no mess no fuss.

DSD is a T5 ship. They won't touch it. And TBH you shouldn't too.
