I miss my cool tier 4 ship :(

I was just talking with some fleet mates about how cool our tier 4 ships were during leveling. Personally I really adore my discovery class ship. To me it's the coolest in the game. It's awesome in looks, great for roleplaying and just keeps reminding me of all those hours I spent watching Voyager episodes.

In short, I was really delighted I could play with this ship when I got to the captain rank.

Now however I'm a Rear Admiral for months. In the beginning I tried flying with the tier 4 ship, however I had to give up on it since the tier 5 was just that much better with the extra BO slots and consoles...

So... Now I'm a sad little panda that choses survivability tier 5 over the awesomeness of the tier 4 ship.



Then a fleet mate just there had this awesome idea I'm totally for! What if we get the option for like a million EC or something to upgrade our tier 4 into the stats of a tier 5?
My fleet mates idea was to have the option to upgrade each tier ship to 1 tier higher. Which I think would also be really awesome, but I don't want to push my luck either. ;)

Advantages:
- More diversity in end-game flying ships
- Happy people, flowers raining down and golden rays of sunlight making our days look brighter
- money sink
- People get to play with the ships they love so much from the shows

Disadvantages:
- None really. The only disadvantage I can think of is that some people might be confused at the start when pvping, but nothing dramatically serious they can't get over. :p


I have to admit I didn't try really hard of thinking up any disadvantages since I want to fly viably in my tier 4 again, but overal I think there aren't any real disadvantages to it.

    I still fly my T4 Discovery Class, and I dont care if I am supposed to fly a T5 Science Ship. Although it would be nice if you would be able to upgrade your ship somehow. I would love to see more lower tier ships flying around in End-Game.

    Its really a shame that lower tears are dropped for higher tiers. They are fine ships.

    A cool fix for this would be to have some rare drops that are actually recipes to builld upgrades that allow you to refit ships to the next tier.

    - BO slot upgrade
    - extra weapon slot
    - etc, etc

    ;)

    As per Dstahl, T5 versions of the Galaxy, Intrepid, and Defiant are being worked on.

    It would be more fun, I think, to upgrade/refit our existing ships ourselves.
