Hi all,

I am a Sci captain and i want to try out this new ship. So i have the following question.

If i want to get the fleet variation i will have to pay 4 module for it. But i have read on the forums that if you own the C-store varrient it will cost less.

So my question is how much module will it cost me and, which variant of the nova class should i get?

And is it a good choice ? ^^

thanks for your feedback !

Ps. long distant science vessel cost 2000 zen who does that work for that one?

    The fleet ship module reduction is currently only applicable if the previously purchased zen store ship is a vice admiral/lieutenant general vessel. In those instances, you will only need one fleet ship module, as opposed to the standard four.

    There is no discount of any kind for other vessels. So even if you have purchased the Rhode Island Refit from the zen store, no discount will be offered towards the retrofit or fleet retrofit.

    I totally adore the Nova class myself (what a design!) and was thinking about buying the fleet variant. But I'm certainly not paying 20 bucks for fleet modules! That's insane!

    Hope it works for you and you have to pay only one fleet module to get it...

    To obtain the discount on any fleet ship, you need to have purchased (read: not used the free vet token) the Tier 5 retrofit/refit version of that ship from the C-store.

    Since there is no T5 C-store retrofit of the Nova, just a T2 Refit (Rhode Island), you cannot get a discount on the Fleet Nova. There is however a Retrofit Nova which is available for 200,000 fleet credits and does not cost any modules.

    You dont have to spend money for fleet ship modules.

    Ah you mean to buy it on the exchange? Last time I watched one module was over 5 million EC. But you're right, that could be an option for someone who has a lot of EC.

    200k is easy enough to get, i prefer it to the other purely due to the sci bridge officer layout Cmd & LtCM are brilliant, much preferred to the ensign Sci on the 4 ship mods

    Ahhh she's a beauty, isn't she?? :D
    But your information was very informative for me too, thanks. I'm also thinking about the Vesta...and I guess I just take both of them. Vesta AND Nova Retrofit. :-)

    Can't believe I am saying this, as the Rhode Island variant of the Nova class is my drop-dead favorite ship and I use my one frequently.

    But as much as it pains me to say so, you'd probably be better off spending your money on a Vesta class - the three-pack if you are able to afford it.

    I adore the Nova, it's a fantastic, nimble, little minx of a ship. Sadly, doesn't do anything that the Vesta can't do better (though the Rhode Island is, in my opinion, a better looking ship!) and that's without taking the Vesta consoles into consideration.

    Depends on your fleet. In mine we're all so aggressive about completing projects that unless you have infinite dilithium reserves it's very hard to earn fleet marks. any new project fills up everything but the dil in under a minute of becoming available.

    Granted, aggressive is not necessarily the right word. Enthusiastic might be better.

    I hear that a lot on these forums, damn shame some fleets are like this, even when we have active projects that are full or in need of dilith but not fleetmarks, then all we do is stick a special project up. "host multicultyral symposium" takes 600 fleet marks 2 types common doffs an a bunch of replicatable items, real easy to fill, requires no dilith an when completes it only taks 30mins. It onky awards 5xp ineach of the tiers but that doesnt matter it allows folk to participate cheaply

    don't listen to the nonsense the fleet nova is awesome it also has a +3 turn rate on the vesta and with aux to damp will give a escort capt a real scare if you know what your doing and full disclosure I have both ships

    How in the world is that nonsense? He merely mentioned that in his fleet, they're aggressive about filling projects, and so, people miss out on getting fleet marks. It's the same way in the fleet I'm in. Unless I wait for a project to complete, and donate what I have the second it does, it usually fills up before I can donate much.

    Thank you, indeed that was what I was saying. =)

    Although I did mean fleet credits not marks. Marks we can earn, just hard to spend them when everyone else in the fleet is racing to spend theirs too. =)

    I do love that we have this "problem" though. So much better than nothing ever getting completed.
