Some people like to collect accolades, others enjoy playing dozens of different characters, I like to collect ships. Fully geared ships that are ready to fly. I have purchased all of the ship hangar unlocks which allows you to keep 38 ships in your hangar. I now find myself with only one available slot in my hangar and two boxed ships in my inventory. I only play one character of each faction now and collect the KDF and Romulan ships also.
So now I am left with a decision, stop collecting ships or ask the devs for a reprieve. I am going to list the ships in my hangar, this is not for epeen reasons. I just want to show that deleting any of them is not an option. Yes, I know there are a couple I can reclaim from the store, but I do not want to trash my Vesta or Odyssey or Charal.
You must have not read the latest blog post. The ship slot limit is being raised soon.
---^ Increase planned to be available on Jan 30.
Also, sweet line up of ships! I wouldn't want to decomission any of those either.
EDIT: Athough, you should be able to reclaim a couple if they are from the C-Store, like the Atrox and Odyssey (assuming that's the C-Store version), as you mentioned, if you want to use the Voth Dread and Suliban now.

Excellent news. First with more doff slots and now with more ship slots. Keep up that line of thinking please, the sky should be the limit. Perhaps there could be a higher ec cap as well.

And if only we could have more BOFF slots, I'd be delighted too!
Could we please get an increase to the bridge officer slot limit as well?
I have my 53 bridge officers (always keep the 54th slot open for cross training) fully optimized for cross build use. I have spent hours with my spreadsheets working out how to fit the greatest possible variety of optimized builds available to me within the current limit.
But If I could get maybe 6 more slots then the current max I wouldn't need to compromise any builds.
... alternatively/additionally a fix for the deflector duty officer bug would also solve some of my problems, I could strike two science boffs in exchange for a couple more engineers if that doff was fixed.
Multiple captains means multiple grinds... I don't have that in me. It also makes it more difficult to test mechanics and builds when you don't have everything on a single character.
A single character with everything is simply more convenient then multiple characters... not that I don't have multiple characters, but they exist to make resources for my main, not the other way around.
My POV is that multiple captains = multiple income streams for Dilithium/Zen/EC - particularly since many of the ways to earn Dil are time-locked/-throttled. And more Dil = More Zen = more cool stuff...
The Klingon Contraband Train (tm) is a good example of how to leverage multiple captains, and the Winter DOFF events with the Eppohs was extremely lucrative - granted, kinda grindy, and certainly not everyone's cup o' tea, but it seemed a small price to pay for the potential benefit.
And a Sci captain is very different than a Tac captain - you can't duplicate one with the other. I'm up to 7 characters now, 6 at L50, and I've been here since Memorial day last year; fortunately, I'm in no real rush to EXTREEEEME kit them out.
But I do look forward to experimenting with various ships etc., and I'm just going to do it at my own pace.
Please reconsider ARC. Please make it optional, at the least. PLEASE.
It seems the vast majority of your most active players (forum regulars) hate the idea... and while that's a small subset of the playerbase, I think it's an important constituency.
THE PLAYERS DO NOT WANT THIS.
like one of those women who collects shoes or clothes and runs up a bill uncontrollably. i dont understand how people can just collect these sorts of things when they will be used once and left in the closet somewhere under a pile of other stuff.
i just hope all those ships you have get used otherwise what was the point.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.

But yeah, an increase would probably be pretty good
Oh damn. Sweet, thanks devs!
