T6 ships at level 40

Yeah, it is possible. I rolled a new character, got to level 40, rear admiral, and I can use the event ships. My character is now using the Krenim science vessel, but I could also use the Chrett Boalg. I think I can use all event ships, I cannot use the T5 and T6 ships from the store. I have to get to level 50 to use those.
Totally not intended, I presume, but hey Cryptic, leave it as it is; don't spoil the fun.

I take the federation ships. Tier 5 is level 40. Level 40 is Rear Admiral. Tier 5 level 50, Vice Admiral. An example is the Blockade Runner. I can fly it at level 50, not at level 40. Then we have Tier 6, also Vice Admiral level. We can fly them at level 50. Aren't the Tier 5 Vice admiral ships not the ones we can upgrade? Tier 5 level 40, Tier 5u level 50, Tier 6 level 50.
However, Tier 6 event ships can be flown at level 40. Why can't we fly T5u and faction T6 ships at level 40?
BTW, the Krenim torpedo that comes with the ship cannot be used at level 40. You tell me there is a system here.
My guess is, back when the event ships went from T5 to T6, a dev asked "shall we raise the requirement to lvl50?" and another answered "no, let them have fun at lvl40, it's an event exclusive".
The 'system' is profit.
Anyway, level 40 will only be with you for a very short time. One usually levels up in this game with 2 weeks or so (and maybe 1 extra, now that the level has been raised to 60). I agree, it's a bit of a mess now, but kinda moot, like I said, as you'll hit 50 soon enough.
I would say specs point the way to not having t-7 ether. no point to burning though goodwill when they can just release another spec. can always powercreep those instead.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
actually with specs t-7 is more than avoidable. just canon faction ships alone can be milked tell they have one of every line of every spec. and thats not cover alien ship and cryptic designed ships. t-7 more likely tp hurt them help. t-6 is already pushing it.

they are already over full. more so seeing as only one role matters to most the fan base. and your right it will not last forever but chances are it will last as the game will. hell I would say going as far as adding an actual t-7 would be one of the signs, sto is nearing the end of it's life.

Pssst, no one tell fovrel that this is working properly and the T6 ships have been designed to have lower hull at that level.
Read the wiki, notice the hull strength changes at 40, 50, 60. If this was "not intended" there would not be a separate level for 40.
no, doom is "THE END IS NIGH" not this means the may be in trouble. I have a few others things that would need to happen first before I would get worried.
on a not totally unrelated note. cryptic I still want my crazy future hobo end is nigh costumes.

Not to mention that to even make T7 plausible, they'd have to come up with a new game mechanic like what they did with Specializations.
