Thank you for the FREE T6 Lukari Ship for fleets who complete Tier T5 Colony

Thanks for keeping your promises Devs and happy to have this for free for any fleets who complete Colony holding tiers.
I know you have to come up with Fleet credits, modules and provisions but still it is great to have this done!

    "free" sure isn't what it use to be... dang inflation!
  • mosul33mosul33 Member Posts: 836 Arc User
    Free??? WTF?? Its a complete robbery!!! So after pouring ridiculous amount of dil and other resources into the colony we are asked to pay for 5 fleet modules, wich is allmost as much as a C-store T6 ship, wich is only character unlocked (not account like C-sore ships) is for you FREE???

    Free would ment to be an actual reward, an unlock, heck even for 200k fleet credits wouldve been better. But for 5 fleet modules? This is not even a joke, its an insult...

    Where did you get the idea it's free?
  • orangenee#2931 orangenee Member Posts: 837 Arc User
    Free? Pretty sure that means the opposite of 25 quids/75 million EC worth of fleet modules.

    That and it's the UFO with a Temporal BOFF seating.

    Not to mention the gigantic Dil cost and time cost of upgrading a fleet to colony 5 in the first place.

    You may have been suckered OP but I won't be.

    I think, there was talking about "colony getting access to ship", or something like that, but really - are you sure there was word "free" used anywhere in that?

    I don't consider Fleet ships "free" either, but thanks to Cryptic for adding one for this holding.

    Once unlocked, this ship may be obtained from any Ship Vendor for the following price:

    20,000 Fleet Credits
    5x Fleet Ship Modules
    1x Starbase Military Fleet Ship Provisioning

    ** This unlock also requires your fleet to have completed the Tier 1 Fleet Shipyard at your Starbase.

    Free? You need 5 Fleet Ship Modules. So that's $25, right?
    And like Fleet ships, I assume it's not account unlock. So, C-store $30 for as many as you like, or 1 of these for $25. I think Cryptic is just trying to see how they can sell a C-store-ish ship on a per ship basis.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Looks like it's just Tier 5 main (and not Tier 5 everything). We'll have that in a few days. :)

    Why this odd Bathleth (sp?) design, though?! The round ones I saw on a picture posted earlier here looked far more 'Lukari' to me.

    And since it costs 5 Fleet modules, do you need only 1 if you already have the Lukari Scout ship?

    But I must admit, I would understand if they moved all ship sales to single, per-character items. After all, the servers need to be kept running, and the devs need (and deserve) a raise now and then.

    This would probably convince a lot of folks to stop playing, or at least to stop paying for C-store ships, so I don't know how much financial sense it would make. This strikes me as a last ditch move before the servers shut down forever.

    The Lukari Ho'kuun was never a c-store ship to begin with. In fact, none of the Lukari ships prior have been C-store releases.

    I agree with others that this is strechting the meaning of the word 'free' a bit.

    Stat-wise speaking, the ship also doesn't look that good. Raider flanking is nice and all, but with only six weapon slots probably not that useful (does flanking actually improve things like exotic damage abilities?).

    And you're also sacrifising a lot of survivability for that flanking, given its low hull and shield modifiers.
  • orangenee#2931 orangenee Member Posts: 837 Arc User
    Good news is it's actually supposed to be 11 consoles but typo. Still not worth the asking price however.

    I'd like to know this as well.

    The recent wave of low shield modifier science ships is a little sad, especially on those without any raider flanking, which is the equivalent of giving an escort a low turn and impulse speed, or a cruiser a thin hull.

    it was an event ship you grinded for. but this does look like a dip of their toes in selling ships per character. you already have lock box ships, and then lobi. event ships use to be per character and you needed to grind it separately if you wanted it on multiple toons. here you need 5 mods, which comes to $25, to buy a ship from your fleet for 1 character. this after grinding the fleet holding up to T5. basically a flat fee of $25 to buy a one time ship for your character. I do play D&D and I don't buy stuff on their store due to it being per character. I'd stop buying ships here too if this comes to pass as de facto norm for ships.

    It's the same price as all other T6 fleet ships.

    Aren't Fleet Module discounts usually exclusive to ships with a C-Store version?

    This. Ships at this price are nothing new and already exist.

    This Fleet ship, however, comes with a console and Trait. (But still costs the same if you had to buy a C-Store version first)

    And you're also sacrifising a lot of survivability for that flanking, given its low hull and shield modifiers.

    ALL the sci ships have 6 weapon slots..

    As for Surviablity, the Hull numbers the Lukari Dranur is not any weaker than Alot of other sci ships.Id put it at "middle of the road" for both Escorts and Science Vessels..But you can survive with lower hull that that of cruisers.

    The Shield mod is kinda low but there are other sci ships that low.(.Sona Sci vessels).. I myself prefer agile and quick sci ships..Before the Lukari ships were introduced.. The Wells and Nova were the fastest/maneuverable T5 Sci ships in the game.

    Stats wise...The Fleet Lukari Dranur has:
    1.) Hull number Equal to most equivalent T5 and T6 Sci ships with similar Inertia and Turn Rate
    2.) THE BEST inertia rating among Sci ships @ 80 (Thats higher than the Pilot Escorts)
    3.) Very Flexible seating (like the Wells) and a
    4.) THE BEST turn rate among Sci ships at 18 degrees a second. (Only Escorts like the Jem Hadar,and Pilot Ships are higher@ 20)
    5.) Option to mount Dual Cannons (Some thing my T5U Wells and the Nova Cant do..)

    It does have a low shield mod but..(who shield tanks these days..I dont)

    ** I would Like to know if Raider Flanking is applied to only weapons or does it work on Exotics too...Cuz that would be fun!!**

    As a science ship...The Lukari Ships are NIIIIIICE...Im still waiting on a T6 Wells..But since Biasic Ship Stats dont change from T5U to T6.. The Lukari Dranur is a Tasty option for hard and Fast combat..I might have to jump ship from my Wells...Which makes me sad..

    But to chase Escorts at 350-450 Flight speed and nearly be as maneuverable as all but the upper end escorts..That sounds fun :p.

    So, LOL, it's actually not free at all, and simply costs the same as a regular Fleet ship. Not that I mind terribly; but if they promised a free ship at the end of the ride, then this one certainly ain't.

    Saying this is a free ship is like saying all C-Store ships are free because you can click on the ship tab you want for free, only a click required.

    did they ever say it would be "free" or just that if you finish T5 you would open up a new ship in the fleet shipyards?

    No, cryptic deliberately never used the word "free". They stated that getting the colony to T5 would give us "access" to a T6 ship, apparently lot of people interpreted this as "free" for some reason.
