Suggestion: Let us retrofit our current ship instead of a completely new ship.

Cross posting from Feedback since I'm sure most people congregate here...

I preordered from Gamestop cause I want to run around in a TOS Connie. Problem is, It's not much better than the normal Miranda class starter ship. I would really like to stick with the ship throughout the game, but I know once I level up enough I'll be way out classed by the enemies I encounter.

So my suggestion is to add an option at level up to choose either a ship of the new class you leveled to (like you do now), OR to upgrade your current ship to be equal with the new tier's ships.

For instance, for Connies, going from T1-T2 adds an additional rear weapon slot, a lieutenant console and so on. Give an option to refit your current ship to match those specs as an alternative. The only thing that wouldn't really work would be the additional crew, but I think it'd be a small price to pay to be able to stay in my TOS Connie.

    This is my point. The retrofit would give the lower tier ship the same stats as the tier you're leveling to so you don't have that issue.

    You can solo with your Connie forever with some degree of difficulty by keeping everything updated. You'll definitely run into problems in groups or D'deridexes that love to use Viral Matrixes, but it's still doable. You just have to remember that you don't have as much BO skills, and that your shield'll be the only thing keeping you alive at the later levels.
