    That, and these ships are, fictionally, refit into Federation and KDF vessels. They are not on the Mirror faction and it therefore makes sense that they'd be re-registered under the players' bureaucracy.

    While true, It would be the Players choice whether they want to be the "prime" or "mirror" faction..

    (unless you have a mirror faction under development... i'll shut up :D)
    Failing even that.. can we get a foundry asset that'll change the players ship skin automatically to the mirror one for mirror universe quests.

    That would help me improve my mirror series.

    Gimme. Gimme! GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME!

    GIMMEH!!!!!!

    I think the best option would be an option to purchase the ISS prefix in the same way as the NX registry prefix. When you commission a ship there is a drop down menu that gives you the option of selecting NCC or NX for your ship's registry number. How about if the ISS prefix purchase unlocked a drop down menu in the account wide options screen where you could select USS or ISS. That way if you want to play a Terran Empire character for a while, you can jump in your Mirror Universe ship, switch to your Terran Empire uniform and select the ISS prefix for your account (which would change the prefix for all your ships). Once you want to switch back to your Federation version of your character, simply go back to the Options menu, select USS from the drop down, and your ships all get their original prefix back.

    ISS would mean you are from terran faction. Why not to add than IKS, IRV, etc.? This game is not a sandbox=players are restricted from using whole content on their own wish by the game concept. This way, each faction uses it's own register. It is unacceptable to see fed vessel with IKS prefix, same as ISS, because such little things ruining atmosphere of the game, its conception.
    NX can be changed, because it is federation register too. Note, it is a change to NCC, not USS.
    Note, all ships are property of Starfleet, not your own space yachts.) Ships from mirror universe, brought by tholians, were taken by Starfleet, modified and reregistered to represent fedration. Thanks

    With all due respect and understanding to those who want the alternate prefix, I actually am going to have to go with Cryptic on this one. While I did hope that the mirror universe cruisers from the Tholian lock boxes would have the I.S.S. prefix, Cryptic's explanation makes sense. They are all Starfleet vessels now. In real life, naval vessels have changed hands and continue to change hands from one navy to another and when they do their prefixes (and often their names) change.

    More importantly, you do realise the ship in your avatar is a diplomatic envoy, right?

    What is this diplomacy to which you refer? The Amarr Empire has no need for diplomacy, and if it did it certainly wouldn't use (recoloured) Navy Slicers for the job :D

    Cryptic has always been about customization? Why not just give us the hull color, ship pre fix, who care what kind of ship its on....is this game not about the players enjoyment? With the lack of content I would think they would be throwing us bone left and right to keep us interested, just attach it the the mirror universe costume set in the z-store. Or does that seem to logical to accomplish?

    im with the "for" fans... It would come down to the player(s).. see someone with the mirror hull and i.s.s prefix.. well.. the "real" feds can do the same to them as they do to KDF in sector space/stf etc (which put british-ly.. is "sod" all)

    plus cryptic/perfect world it would be a easy money grab for you, which you could use to make more epic stuff... or Borg lockboxes

    cant it be restricted to the Mirror Ships then ?

    I wont praise their arrival method (Lockboxes) but they are somewhat popular.. If you made a Science,Escort,Battleship (Mirror Oddessey/Typhoon) I would go mad.

    EDIT: in the mirror delta flyer pet you have something along the lines of high ranking starfleet officers are suspected on giving starfleet designs to the empire, that is more than enough reason to give players the mirror stuff and a chance to create some epic Fed vs Fed ("mirror") pvp :P

    If you're talking about the ISS prefix, no, they can't. Cryptic doesn't have the tech in place to do that on a per-ship basis. They can only do it on an account basis like the NX prefix: meaning you can use it on every ship.

    I was always under the assumption that the intent is to expand on the MU ships in each new Lockbox set. So the next group might offer Mirror Escorts. Then the next Lockbox promotion after that will offer Mirror Science ships. That's just my guess, though.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Classification prefix codes cannot currently be unlocked on a per-ship basis. We have the tech to allow it as a character unlock (see the NX prefix code unlock), but we don't wish to see "true" Federation ships flying around with the ISS prefix.

    That, and these ships are, fictionally, refit into Federation and KDF vessels. They are not on the Mirror faction and it therefore makes sense that they'd be re-registered under the players' bureaucracy.

    Jeremy.. i call bogus answer. Why you might ask? If they were so concerned with the players maintaining a said factions look then we would not have mirror uniforms and mirror badges that can be worn on ANY uniform.

    So just give us our mirror pack with our ....

    Iss prefix
    Daggers
    Kirk sleeveless top
    Terran markings
    And
    25th century terran uniforms.

    And let us rp the terran empire if we want.

    Lets face it this game plays more like Terran Empire online than Federation online. Its kill everything in your path and let the grave digger battalions sort them out anyway 8P

    Wrong game, the Imperial Navy Slicer's from EvE :P
    I can see the similarity between it and the Voruntak though.

    Not played SoaSE for ages, might get back into it now the Rebellion expansion's been released.

    just read the mirror shuttle pet myself.. and well... "There are those who belive that the Terran Empire is being clandestinely supported by high ranking starfleet officals"..
    so... cryptic... can we get a mission (terran empire themed) that gives us the option to sell out the Federation.

    I'd like less mirror stuff (really none), however I would like to be able to change the prefixes to S.S. or I.S.S. and something that would make sense for KDF Gorn, Orion, and Nausican ships, aside from I.K.S..

    I assume future Lockboxes will have additional ship types in them: Mirror Escorts, Mirror Science Vessels, etc.
