Ship upgrade

Okay, I got the T3 and T5 Ambassador Class way back when they had the "Temporal Ambassador" Event. I even got the Fleet version on that character. But I have long since deleted that captain. I have a new engineer captain and find myself wanting the Fleet Support Cruiser Retrofit. The Ambassador Class is my most favorite ship in Star Trek. Yea I know it is behind the times compared to new content and T6 ships. But my question is, will I receive a free upgrade being I upgraded it to a T5U way back then on a now deleted captain? I know you can on another character. But what if the origional character is deleted? Anyone know? Thanks!
I would hate to spend $20 on fleet modules to get her, just to find out I have to buy a 700 Zen store ship upgrade token.

    I -think- the T5U upgrades for Z-store ships are strictly on a 'per captain' basis, regardless if another captain has one and/or has been deleted.

    But I may not be understanding the question, so hopefully others will be able to offer a more certain response :).

    Thanks for reponding. If memory serves, I had that same captain buy a upgrade token for the VADM Advanced Heavy Cruiser. I then bought the Fleet version and the upgrade carried over to the Fleet version at no additional cost. I also read online that once you buy a upgrade token for a ship, that upgrade token covers account wide. Don't know how true that is. But being I deleted the captain a while ago, don't know if it still applies. Also, the Ambassador Class was never a Zen store ship.

    Well for argument sake, I claimed the Rear Adm. Lower half Advanced Heavy Cruiser. I could upgrade it for free. I know I didn't upgrade it this time around. So maybe the same will happen for the Fleet Support Cruiser?

    If you upgrade a ship on one character with the Ship Upgrade token, then all characters on your account will get that ship upgraded for free. However, if you upgraded the Support Cruiser Retrofit, then the Fleet Support Cruiser Retrofit would not be upgraded until you use the Ship Upgrade token.

    As to whether it works when the upgraded ship was on a deleted character, I don't know since it is a matter of coding. Does the ship upgrades flag your account or does it only flag your character and the server looks for any character that has it flagged when you are trying to upgrade a ship? I would suggest transfer your Engineer to Tribble without any Ship Upgrade tokens and see if you can upgrade your ship. It might even be possible to get the Fleet Ship Upgrades for free to confirm that this works assuming you can find someone to help you with your experiment. If it works on Tribble, then it should work on Holodeck. If it doesn't work, then you might have to contact support to see if you can do it for free assuming that they know which ships were upgraded.

    Okay, I took a chance and bought the Fleet Support Cruiser. Sure enough, it had a FREE upgrade to T5U!
    Thanks for all your responces!

    Grats. Thank you for the update so we can tuck that information away for the next person who asks :).
