Can't claim ship

draco456217

Awhile ago the Ar'kif Tactical Carrier Warbird Retrofit was given away for free. I recently made a new Reman toon and can't claim it. My Reman is currently lvl 41 and has access to T5 so I'm confused. I also have free ship slots and inventory space so that can't be it.

This is not a bug, and is working as intended. A Level 4 toon cannot claim a T5 ship, because they were not designed to scale like T6 ships. You will actually have to reach the appropriate level before you can claim a T5 ship.

Although I do view this as a bit of a flaw in design. You get access to T5 at lvl 40 but can't actually use some of the T5 ships til lvl 50. That would be like getting access to T3 at lvl 20 but not being able to use some of them til lvl 30.

Tier 5 ships should be available at level 40 as that's what happened when the game launched, but then they raised the level-cap to 50, they made Store-bought ships at T5 for level 50 only.

Since we've had Tier 6 for level 50+ for a long time, it's my opinion that all those T5 ships need to be made available for level 40+ characters. Thus, the seemingly broken logic to Ship Tiers would be fixed and consistent.
