Forgive me if this is the incorrect place to put this, but I felt feedback was likely the best place for something like this. Allow me to begin by saying that I have been playing this game since the Beta, and while I have taken breaks from it I always come back. Over these years I have accumulated a few of the Special Requisition Pack ships from some of the earliest to some more recent. However I have not used the same character over the years, when the Romulan faction launched I played extensively on that character leaving my first toon behind the same is true when the 23rd Century toons were added in. This means my ships have been stretched out across these characters. I imagine (or hope to) that there will be future expansions that could add new factions or unique starts, and that I will likely shift with those spreading my collection even further.
I would like to suggest a feature to allow such ships to be repacked and transfered between toons on the same account. By making the ships account bound you remove the possibility of having accounts and their ships stolen, you also remove any havoc that could be wreaked in the game's economy from people repacking and selling the very old and likely now very rare ships. This would allow players(like myself) to condense their collections on their newest or central toon.
Please keep discussion civil, and give explanations if you disagree or have a problem with this suggestion. Thank you

Everything else, well that's a cash issue. Since making those account bound, repackable or reclaimable would cut into cryptics income there's basically no chance of that happening.
Repacking lockbox/lobi/R&D- & Doff Promotion ships has been requested for years but it just fell on deaf ears, presumabely because of the potenital income loss.
Yeah, that's not a thing anymore. Ever since we got the Infinity Lockbox and Infinity R&D & Doff packs that factor has been pretty much eliminated.
The only rare and expensive ships are:
a) the ones everybody would like but just have a miserable drop chance (like the T6 connie)
and
b) the ships that barely anyone would actually want because nobody opens the infinity ship box for a bucket they don't want or one with a low demand on the market.
I'd pay a lot of zen to make promo ships account wide unlocks and I'm sure some are with me on this one but it won't happen.
That might be true, or not. If I was trying for a specific ship then maybe yes, but the one I already have doesn't affect anything. Besides, if I could move it to another alt and open a shipyard spot, I might be more inclined to fill that spot via Zen purchase for dilithium or C-store purchase.
What you or other individuals might do isn't as "important" (to them) as the very real chance of people "costing cryptic money" by not spending real cash on ships and stuff. That's why we have those restrictions and that's way they're not gonna remove them.
I'm not very fond of alot of those policies but those also ensure the continuation of the game, so those rstrictions on promo ships, c-store, etc. is something we pretty much have to live with.
This ist my opinion.
