How about mission rewards being ship skin pieces

Quick idea but how about in future missions the rewards are actual ship sections that you can win to add to your ships.

The new tier 5 ships are broken down into something like 5, 6 or 7 pieces depending on the type of ship and the number or nacelles etc.

So there could be a story arc of 5 episodes and each episode gives the choice to pick a new section of ship for either escort/science/cruiser for Feds and BoP/battle cruiser/raptor.

Make the missions long and fairly hard but still doable by solo players and casual PUGs.

People that enjoy collecting all the ships or like to respec between them would probably happily re-do each mission three times to get all the components for each ship.

Might be more fun that just offering new ship designs.

    I think this would be a great idea, it would give people something to work for and collect.

    I personally do not find that much fun at all.

    I'm holding my breath for ship variant reward accolades.

    As far as I've seen - those ships would be in game rewards. I could see where they might also put them in the C-Store - but as far as I know - they would be just like the new ships you get at each tier.

    i've been advocating making it possible to earn ship variants by in-game means for weeks now, but cryptic would rather just sell them on the c-store.

    aside from the quote directly above you.

    fair enough.
    i always enjoy completing a mission to get the reward, unlocking something cool like a saucer section would be a fun treat rather than a new deflector dish

    i would not do it for a canon ship, only a new variant. got to be better than paying hard cash in a c-store?

    I know some folks like to do that kind of stuff. I can see where the interest comes from. So I'm not going to say it's a bad suggestion. It's not.

    It's just not something I enjoy doing in games like this. That's all.

    :)
