Ship purchasing 'chain'?

corjet

I've recently come back to play and I remember there was a 'cheap' way to purchase ships of the same linage. Like the Defiant; you could purchase one 'version' and it would make it cheaper to buy the other variants. Does anyone know of a list or how that works?

Thanks and have a nice day!

Sounds like you're referring to the Fleet ship purchases. If you purchase the C-Store variant first, it only costs 1 Fleet Ship Module to acquire the Fleet version where it would normally cost 4 or 5.

Yes, the only discounts I know of are:
- Fleet version when you own the C-Store version
- C-Store bundles of 3+ ships
- Ship sales

Also, check out the daily giveaway for new dawn, there might be a lower-level free ship one of the days. That's pure speculation but you'd be kicking yourself if you pay zen for that ship today.

THANKS! Yeah I too think it's the C-Store ones.

To add fullest clarity, it is only Tier 5 C-Store ships that grant the reduced cost in Fleet Ship Modules for the corresponding Fleet version. A tier 4 Tactical Escort Refit: Sao Paulo Class, will not do so, but the Tier 5 Tactical Escort Retrofit will.

And only the tier 6 version will reduce the cost of Fleet tier 6.

Thank you all for clarifying the matter!
