Question on C-Store variants.

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I am wondering if, for example, I purchase the following:
Federation Star Cruiser Ship Costume: Nomad Class
(160 Cryptic Points)

A variant of the Emissary Class, purchase of this option unlocks the Nomad Class for your Rear Admiral rank Federation characters. Note: Purchase of this option unlocks these parts for all Rear Admiral rank Federation Star Cruisers on an account.

Is that just a new skin for the Emissary class or does the ship have some differences (Like device or console slots etc.)?

Are the other Science and Escort ships the same?

    That one's just an extra skin, a new set of saucer, pylon, nacelle etc. Stuff like the Excelsior and Nebula refits that cost a lot more CP are whole new ships with different console and BO slots. When in doubt, google up the STO wiki and look the item up there.

    Since that one says "costume" it's just a new skin for your ship. Some of the c-store ships are skins and some are ships with different consoles, abilities, etc. The description should tell you. If not, just check out the ship databases in ESD where you trade in your Marks of Exploration.

    That is what I thought... The other ships that actually "do something" are much more spendy... don't seem worth it.

    I think you can buy them with ingame currency. Emblems maybe?

    No you can't. Only a couple of the full ships can be bought with emblems. The skins aren't available. It's actualyl really frustrating that I can't even preview teh pieces before buying them. I'd like to see how the Imperial pieces might fit together on my ship before commiting to buy it. Since I can't preview it I just don't buy the thing.
