Just wondering if there is any ship that is worth the hassle to collect credits and resources, compared to the ones on the Cstore

Do you STF or PvP?
If Yes:
Deffo worth the little extra you get from it.
if No:
Na... not really.
Actually... You could make a switch-case out of that:
<?
$userDoesSTForPvP = "";
switch($userDoesSTForPvP) {
case "yes":
echo "Might be a good idea to get a fleet ship";
break;
case "no":
echo "No real need to get one, and waste money";
break;
default:
echo "How can you not know if you're doing STF or PvP?";
break;
}
?>
There... completely random addition to my post, but it was worth it.
If you NEED a fleet ship to pass an elite stf = you suck and should work on improving.
If you want to spend money for a superior ship, the C-Store ships are quite valid to stick with. The advantage with them is that once purchased, you can claim them for every character you have for that faction.
Fleet Ships are a bit different. They're supposed to be the best for most parts, and a few are upgrades from the C-Store versions. Some of the Fleet Ships that have high ranked C-Store predecessors allow you to purchase the Fleet version for 20k fleet credits and 1 fleet ship module. Otherwise, a Fleet Ship costs 20k fleet credits and 4 fleet ship modules, which is nothing to brush off, considering that it is only for that character and not an account unlock.
Fleet Ships in general have very small upgrades from the C-Store variants. It's up to you if its worth that cost. IMO, it's not a bad thing if you only roll around with 1 character. But if you're an Altaholic, you have to watch out because Fleet Ship costs will mount quickly.
And remember you need to beg your fleet for their gracious permission to buy one too. They may refuse, or charge you another 20 bucks of dilithium or whatever. It does not say that in the description, so you've been warned.
Not really hear much more on the KDF side, except debate if the Hoh'SuS might be a good ship due to the 2 LTC Universal on top of the Commander Universal.
On the Fed side, many people really are impressed with the Fleet Defiant with her 5 Tactical slots.
So these alone are worth the $20.
Now if you got existing C-store ships with corresponding Fleet Upgrades, if you get access, buying a single Fleet Module for a 10th console slot isn't a bad deal.
As for the other ships, nothing really stands out unless you are the type who has a particular ship you want to fly at end-game.
So all in all, it's not bad, but nothing really to jump up and go after.
shouldnt be an issue if you activily contribute, i wouldn't stay in any fleet that had me ask premission, not when ive donated well over 2 million dilitium alone in the last 3 months
What? I suggest you find a new fleet if they treat you like that. 20k fleet credits is so easy to get its just not funny. I have several millions of credits not used and we have enough ship requisitions for everyone in our fleet. "nobody uses them" ??? What game are you playing - this made me laugh :rolleyes:
All fleets are the same. Go to roster and look in permissions. If you not got can buy from fleet provisions you can't get a ship. This is default for all fleets I ever been in. Want a ship? Well then make a big fuss in fleet chat about how you deserve a promotion. In other words beg for it. That's if you got a fleet where the leader ever bothers to show up.
Oh, and then you got to buy the thing you need to get the ship. That's 50,000 dilithium and whatever else please. What, the ship isn't worth another 50 bucks? Fleet ships are a waste of time, same as everything fleet.
i dunno why they figured it would be a better science ship instead of an engineer ship..

For me it is completely the other way around: Making the setup of the fleet corsair different from the base version is much more interesting than base version + something. There are more than enough engineering cruisers around.
I wouldn't have spend the modules on a tenth console, but it's rather the unique setup that made the buy for me.
what engineer carrier is there..
you got the mirror voquv.. it has 2 engineering boffs, but still a commander science..
the karfi, it has a commander science too..
the recluse can be an engineer carrier, and only cause of an uni boff.. its really low on tac tho, only one ensign.. so you lose out on alot of dps if you use that uni for engineer..
the JH heavy escort carrier i suppose could be engineer carrier.. but its expensive. and you would need to have 3 engineer boffs.. no commander.
the JH dreadnought is tac.
if they would have left the fleet corsair alone with the boffs being engineer commander and lt commander.. it would be perfect for engineers.
but they switched it with science.. for no reason..
could have at least made it universal..

My point was just to find out if it is something to invest on....I play not that much, and while I enjoy to go around spending time with other people in the kin, it still requires time to gather resources and such...if you play 24/7 it is not a big deal a couple of extra hours; but if you are like me, a couple of hours a week is all that you get
I use a tac, at the moment I am flying the free ship that I've got from the anniversary, but as soon as I get my last 5 levels, I will have either the armitage or the Kumari, so unless there is a ship that would give me a better deal than either of them, I can gladly pass
1 console upgrade and a few thousand extra hp, to me is not worth the upgrade for the trouble you have to go through to get it. Fleet weapons on the other hand, i would love to get my hands on these but i have had nothing but bad luck with fleets in the past, so i doubt a fleet will just let me join to get the items and leave though because it would drastically increase my ability to be all the more dangerous in game.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Fleet modules are indeed expensive and with the price of zen going up (using Dil as the currency) it's even more so. It took me a month to save up for 5 modules and that was when dil was at 90-1.
If you've had bad luck, try Shadow House/Fleet or SWAT, both fleets are decent, from my experience.
1 ensign Eng made Uni was a very important reason for my purchase.
I now hold Tactical Team 1 and 2 on my cruiser. For PvP this might be useless, but frankly I don't do endgame PvP at the moment so it is not important for me.
1 character has a fleet Neg'Var, another has a regular Neg'Var and to be honest I trully miss my 2nd Tactical Team now.
Many people can give advice... But it is up to the player looking for a new ship to determine if a ship is worth the trouble
that depends what you mean by expensive. one persons expensive is another persons cheap. i dont have hours to throw at the game.

All cloaks should be canon.
Shantytown!
(You asked, heh)
It wouldn't hurt us to see Shantytown become that noble sacrifice. :P

I have to agree with the others, in that you have obviously never been in a decent fleet. In our Fleet you just need to get past a short probation period as a recruit, and then get a automatic promotion to our basic rank that allows full access to the store.
If you have put in the work to get the fleet credits then you are fully welcome to spend them however you want. As ultimately to our fleet, a Shipyard provision that is turned into a ship, and thus used to help the player and fleet earn more materials is a better investment then hoarding the provisions.
Also, Obvious anti-Fleet troll is Obvious.
There's not that many free games where you can just play and get whatever you want for free over time. Even when STO was Subscription you still needed to buy things from the C-Store and there was no Dilithium Exchange - you paid full price for everything on top of your Sub.
Plus, as mirrorchaos, I do not have time to spend for harvesting resources; in all the MMO that I play, I usually leave crafting aside, because I never found a game that would push me to grind resources, to get a specific item; more or less crafting is a side branch of an mmo, made to increase economy, instead than being really useful for the toon that you play (at least for me). I play maybe 2 hours a week lately, so unless something in the fleet shipyard is really beating what is in the c-store; I wouldn't really spend that much time with it.
I have yet to come across any hardcore KDF fleet that are charging thier members for the right to purchase. Honestly Im a little baffled why any tactions fleet would charge thier own members for such a right.

Complete strangers most likely but humilty should keep prices realistic.
R.I.P
Speak for yourself, if you already own the c-store ship it's 5 million EC and 20k fleet credits - also known as chump change.
If you don't own the c-store ship, then it's 20m. A bit of a ripoff

For ships that will cost you the full 4 consoles? Now we're getting expensive and there are only few ships worth that price (Klingon side mostly). Other than those few, mostly you do this for RP purposes, not for stats.
Most of the time your 9-console ship is close enough and still fully dangerous. The Fleet upgrade is just 'something extra,' not mandatory.
I've been in a major fleet for a while, and they have generally open access to the fleet store. all they require is you're active and you contribute to the fleet. Since you have to contribute anyway to get fleet credits, its a win-win situation. I have not seen a fleet on any of my toons that requires crazy privileges to get fleet store access. All I've been asked to do is contribute, and in return, I can get a fleet ship. I spend a small amount of money every so often in the game for extra bank slots, outfits, Master Keys (b/c I'm a dope), and I spend the last 500 on a fleet ship module to save for later.
Things to know about fleet ships: They have higher hull strength, an extra console, slightly better shield modifier, and their BOFF seating is comparable to the C-Store retrofit version, just without the bonus console. They can use the bonus console, however, if you have the C-store version. As far as fleets, just do some research. Ask questions, most people are honest. I can't say they all are, obviously, but most will be helpful. Don't go in a fleet that demands you pay them EC to stay in, because that's just stupid. I hope this helps you make a decision on whether you think fleet ships are worth getting or not.
TL;DR- Use common sense, find a good fleet, use zen wisely.
i bought the armitage heavy cruiser so i could et the defense torp and then got the fleet version for added hull 10% extra shields and the scinece console IM VERY happy compared to the last version.
