Are there any plans for new ships that don't cost cstore points? I guess what I'm asking is, tier 6 ships?

    There is a bunch of refit (or retrofit I can't remember the proper way to go) being added to fleet starbases :D

    loose the "points".-.. It's just Zen... :S

    Anywho, It seems that the fleet system will bring several non-c-store ships along wich while looking like the current ships, have better stats...

    Other than than... Better find your wallet... the ferengi are at work.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    pretty sure its retrofit.

    either way there are plenty that are all tier 5 being added that will cost fleet credits (expect a bit of a grind for those) these ships are basically the old ships from the different tiers bumped up to tier 5.

    the fleet ones will cost some money and a smaller amount of credits. these ones are slightly better than what we have. a tier 5.5 so to speak.

    there is no tier 6. if there ever is they wont be free. those days are gone.

    Not really but if you hop on tribble and go to the shipyard at ESD or Qo'nos they are listed there. I'm note sure if its all of them but they have a lot.

    filter them down to just VA ships and you will see there are some for just credits and some for credits and schematics.

    I highly doubt that.
    If an entirely new ship Tier was added there would have to be new basic ships made available, or the game would become extremely lopsided in favour of those that have money to spend.
    And in PvP, which is being reworked, that would be a major disaster.

    No, i think if a new Tier shows itself it will be like now, free basic ships with tokens/dilithium and .5 variants via the C-Store.

    The Galaxy X, Guramba, and a few other ships aren't included since they are either look too much the same (one of the KDF alien ships) so only one is released or they have a special power as part of the ship that is not a console like the Phaser Lance from the Galaxy X.

    I almost said this myself, although I have a feeling the OP might be talking about actual new designs.
