Make C-Store Starship Traits Account Unlocks

Why not make (c-store) starship traits account unlocks once you have the ship leveled on a character? Is is because they want to sell you more starship slots on your alts? Instead of enjoying a new character off the bat you have to level each ship over and over again. Just an unnecessary grind which is NO fun. I mean you already spent the money to buy the ship. Transaction complete! I don't get it. Just another reason NOT to create a new character imho.

    I would like that too but leveling Starship Traits is one of the few things what keeps us busy.
    C-Store Inc. is still looking for active members on the fed side. If you don't have a fleet feel free to contact me in game @stegi.

    At a minimum make it so once you level a ship on a character, it is already leveled when you claim the ship on another character. The Trait doesn’t have to attach until you claim the ship on the toon. This way you still face ship slot limits. But at least you don’t have to spend hours rigging the ship with each alt for 20 minutes of gameplay to level it for the trait over and over and over.

    I have to ask: While it would save some time, is it really necessary?

    Once your character hits level 65 you gain access to ships of the opposing faction, after that it takes no more than an hour for the mastery package to level on any ship.
    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.

    I'd love to see Z-Store ships amd their traits unlock account-wide too, but my take on it should be that these ships should have a Mastery Tier 6 or 7 added to them.

    Tier 6 exists already on some starships, so we can't always use that, but reaching the new Tier 6/7 unlocks the Tier 5 trait for the account.

    This new Tier should be something that takes quite a bit of effort to reach, though and not as easy as reaching the current Tier 6. It should be something that needs a fair amount of playtime to unlock. Basically, if you have a few characters, it should be easier to unlock Tier 5 again on each individual character, but for players that have a bajillion or more characters, unlocking that 6th/7th Mastery would be the better option.

    so.. t6-x-x/Legendary? nah we have those.


    It takes like two or three patrols to level a ship, jeez, people don't need EVERYTHING handed to them. If you don't play the game, why play the game?

    That is old code... which now that you pointed it out they will probably try to remove.

    It dates back to some traits being faction locked. So if you unlocked a federation only ship trait... you could claim it on your KDF and vice versa. Its not account unlocked just unlocked for the other faction.

    No new traits will be unlocked that way... (although it seems T7 legendary are now the normal anyway) and yes Cryptic just forgot that code was in there when they removed the faction restrictions on ships.

    I can do it in *ONE* patrol on any ship that has a ltcomm or higher science station. That's not the point. It's tedious and boring, and exactly the kind of 'content' players don't want and many would prefer to pay (in some way) to skip.

    Agreed.

    Yes it isn't HARD... to slot any level of gravity well... turn the bridge crew skill display on in the UI so you don't have to set up skills, and run one of the NPC heavy patrols.

    STILL its annoying, and isn't content.
