I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Some T-6 ships are there but it's a bit weird they have the intel ships eclipse, phantom, scryer, qib, and feaht the other ships that came with them. But the odd thing they have is ships like the Resolute and the iconic cruisers, ships with the low rank command specialist seats but the actual command battlecruisers aren't there yet.
Im not a high enough level to use it however it should still appear in the store if its buyable yes? The Mahat isnt in store either. Im hoping these ships added in soon. Im lvl 25 and should be 50 buy the end of the weekend.

You can't buy a ship unless you can use it. If it is in the C-Store, then you will eventually be able to buy it.
They probably decided to play it safe with console players, rather than allow them to buy stuff they can't use (and then throw the controller through their TV).
Heh....yeah....tell me again why anyone should ever consider making the jump to console.
No one is supposed to.
People are supposed to start playing Star Trek Online for the first time, because they couldn't play on the PC.
Cryptic doesn't want the same players and the same number of players, but spread across 3 platforms. They want more players. Everyone that can play STO so far can still keep playing it, keep using his subscriptions and purchases and characters and everything he ever grinded up.
Is this really such a hard concept to understand? What in the whole announcements for the consoles gave the impression that they want to get people to move from PC to console?

The announcements are not the only way to get that impression. Learn to think beyond the sales pitch. The unfortunate truth may well turn out to be that the majority of people who had any interest in this game are already playing it on PC. So, without the PC folks being inclined to migrate to the other platforms, the interest in the Xbone and PS4 versions could be vastly overrated, and you're not going to sell most PC players on a gimped version where they have to re-buy everything.

Spending a lot of money to let people that already play the game play the game is a bit foolish, don't you think? Opening a game to a new platform always has the same purpose - get more players.
People migrating is an edge case - nice for them, but irrelevant for Cryptic. IF people do it for some reason, they better buy a lot of stuff on the platform, because they won't be buying it on the old one, but creating the support for the new platform did cost something.

My toon is kdf. I just dont understand why its featured if i cant buy it.
The Mahat raptor is also missing while the Qib is availabile.
No Mahat but malem, andromenda, resolute, jupiter, Kor, and NeghTev class ships...which all came out after the Mahat.
Are you high enough level to use it?

Absolutely I do. Which is why I think the console releases will not turn out to be nearly popular enough to justify the investment they have made.
