What will be your T6 coupon ship?

questeriusquesterius Member Posts: 8,627 Arc User
edited September 2023 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Last Thursday the journey towards getting enough coupons for a free T6 ship started.


Since the coupon cannot be used as a discount on a 12k pack and i don't really fancy any of the AoY, Vanguard or Disco designs and since yet new to be released ships will be excluded my list is brought back to either
- https://sto.gamepedia.com/Aelahl_Light_Warbird_Battlecruiser
- https://sto.gamepedia.com/Intel_Assault_Cruiser
- https://sto.gamepedia.com/Jupiter_Class_Carrier

For those who actively choose to participate, which ship will you choose?

Edit: forgot about the Tellerite and Suliban FDC
https://sto.gamepedia.com/Tellarite_Pralim_Flight-Deck_Assault_Cruiser
https://sto.gamepedia.com/Suliban_Silik_Flight-Deck_Assault_Cruiser

Already have the Orion one which is nice.
https://sto.gamepedia.com/Orion_Blackguard_Flight-Deck_Assault_Cruiser
Downside is their "unique" look which doesn't really appeal to me. The fighters and trait are very interesting in today's spam filled battlefield.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    The Jupiter carrier is a nice idea, I didn't want to pay for it because the pet choices looked boring.

    I've wanted a Kolasi Siege Destroyer to play with - https://sto.gamepedia.com/Kolasi_Siege_Destroyer
    ... but it only has Lt. Sci so no gravity well :(

    probably a romulan one, my feds are fine and my klingon have way more then I need.

    thinking about getting,

    the Jhu'ael: because cryptic has given the other two ships in the line though giveaways, so getting the last free too amuses me.
    the t6 D'deridex : my romulan doesn't have a big faction appropriate ship.
    the hathos: my reman is the only character without a set ship so this be a good chance to get him something.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    I wanted it based on looks and specs, and ended up buying it during the first weekend sale. I haven't actually used it yet though since I've been unlocking a few ship masteries first.

    I'm wavering between several right now. The Dauntless, the Arbiter and the Nautilus. Also maybe a Pathfinder.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    I thought about this one too after hearing about the trait. Don't really want to buy it just for trait, but for free? Yeah.

    And I do have some tac officers who might use the ship itself.

    Can the visuals from the Cheyenne, Dakota or Stargazer class be used on the Europa?

    That may just be a redeeming feature for me.

    I'd just like to point out that BMR uses two 'd's and a 'z' instead of an 's' in his handle.

    Seconded. Pretty sure I'll grab a Europa then use a T6 fleet module rep reward to max it out.

    No. They're entirely different ship classifications in-game.

    Probably the Europa.. maybe the T6 Support Cruiser just for the trait.

    Probably... KDF ships. Likely the Nav'soj for my science officers.

    Even without the trait it is a sweet ride.

      I'm thinking of the Advanced Heavy Cruiser (T6), Arbiter Battlecruiser or the standard Guardian Cruiser.

      I have all the Excelsior line except the Resolute, I have the Avenger but not the Arbiter and the only Guardian I have is the mirror version.

      Not going to bother. I could farm enough dilithium in a couple weeks to acquire a T6 ship if I really wanted. Not going to waste my time doing bs missions for few months to get a free one. (Trolling comments moderated out. - BMR)

      'Idiot' here. I certainly know how to accumulate resources in this game and one aspect of that is building up Marks on my Discovery Character. I've gotten between 134 and 193 Marks per run of these Featured TFOs.

      If you do know how to accumulate resources then you must see how much of a waste of time this *free t6 ship is. If not... well will just leave the insults where they sit at the moment.

      Well, if you play the Featured Episode you Coupon progress Tokens anyway so why not participate.
      It's probably the duration of two featured episodes and the little bit of extra on those two 14-day FE runs (for me on newish little developed characters) is IMO just icing on the cake.

      If I like the featured episode I will play it, but If I don't I wont. I'm just not enticed at all by a free ship that I would have to play months to get when I could get it other ways in 1/3 the time. Like I first said. This is great for people that don't have the knowledge or means to farm the resources.

      Nothing stopping anyone from supplimenting their resources either. Yea it may take longer than normal Dilithium>Zen conversion grind depending on number of alts, but its an easy add on to that. Especially if you need marks on an alt. And since the tokens are automatically added to the account... its kind of a win/win. Don't have to do anything extra like slot a project. Hell... you don't even have to do it on the same character since its account wide progress. You build up resources, and at the same time get a bit closer to a free ship of your choice. By the time you get enough tokens, you might even have enough Zen to get one or two more on top of that. *shrug*

      If you play the featured TFOs (not episodes) it is quite cheap to add the needed 6 extra runs for the ship. If you skip one, you might think about it.

      As for the OP's question: assuming no other ships will come out in the meantime, I am slightly torn between three options:

      (a) Ketha, because my KDF side is most deprived of ships, so I'd like a KDF one - I just don't want to split possible packs to buy later, so that's the downside
      (b) Jupiter - doesn't split packs, but isn't really a KDF ship
      (c) wait it out until I can decide on a ship or something new and shiny comes along (if that is a possibility in the first place and the tokens don't have a sell-by date)

      I know how to accumulate resources. I also know how to be a smart consumer. I watch the Dilex, and at current prices, it's not worth wasting dil on. And just in case you didn't know, the cap for the Dilex is 500 dil per. So.. 300+ ranges in to expensive, and shows the greed of other players.

      I've bought a few of them, but I still have a whole list to choose from, so the decision is which one I want most that I normally would not buy.

      Still debating that, but there's time enough to ponder it while I play.
