Missing Account Starship Trait Unlocks

w00qw00q Member Posts: 121 Arc User
I've finally (!) gotten my Federation T6 Arbiter ship to the final Tier 5 Ship Mastery, which unlocks the "Emergency Weapons Cycle" skill.

BUT non of my characters (neither Romulan, KDF, nor Jem'Hadar) have this "Emergency Weapons Cycle" showing up in the "Account Trait Unlock" which is at the last [Tab] of the Dilithium Store.

==>So how does this Account Starship Trait work?

    EWC is not an account trait unlock. KDF side needs the Kurak or the Romulan ship with the trait is the Morrigu.

    Pretty much any ship with a counterpart for another faction does not have an account trait unlock. Typically account trait unlocks are for Cstore ships that are one faction only with no counterpart.

    Not sure if that got all mucked up when they let Romulans fly Federation ships, KDF/Federation fly Romulan Ships, and Jem'Hader fly Romulan and their allied Faction Ships. I do know my Discovery Character was able to claim the Warp Shadows Trait back last Winter. But that was the only Trait in the list.

    if other faction have no way at all, not counting roms use fed or kdf t-6 ships because they didn't use to be able to, it can gotten from the dil only for the other factions.

    Emergency Weapon Cycle is not one of the traits that can be claimed though the dil store,

    see for the correct ships: https://sto.gamepedia.com/Trait:_Emergency_Weapon_Cycle


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

    It only works for ship traits that are tied to c-store ships (and a single FED promo ship) that do not have a different equivalent ship for the other factions. There is an added layer that the ship trait in question has to be on a ship that CANNOT be used by other factions characters AND that cryptic didn't make the trait available via lock box or lobi purchases. Jem'Hadar Vanguard ships (besides the JH Vanguard temporal warship) and Cardassian T6 ships don't work in the system since they are cross faction ships.

    The Arbiter has KDF and ROM equivalents so it isn't part of the system. The FED Eclipse, KDF Qib, Romulan Aelahl among other ships do not have equivalents and are thus part of the account wide unlock system. There are some exceptions too.

    On the below link, check the part that says "Faction specific ship + dilithium store"

    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    only ships that have traits that are exclusive can have an account unlock for other factions. some thou can only be found in a lockbox. EWC can be found on Rom & KDF ships in the Battlecruiser bundle.

    Warp Shadow Decoy and Advanced Firing Solutions are the only traits Feds have ever been able to claim. Tactical Retreat and Overwhelming Force are in lockbox so those are not freely unlocked. And all other faction-exclusive C-Store ships are Fed.

    This right here.

    Most the ones applicable for the part in bold are older T6 C-Store ships. Simultaneous, Cross-Faction releases were very spotty when T6 came out for a while, so there were a number of exclusive traits as a result.
