I havent seen this topic come up since early last year so i wanted to see if there is any update. As someone who owns a Jem Dred but has no way to access an atack ship (seriously there is literaly none on the exchange and its not in any current officer packs or lockboxes) I am still interested in seeing this requirment change. I thought it was a bad idea in the first place, but even letting that go, these ships have been out long enough that maybe it doesnt need to be as special anymore. When i am willing to pay for a dred, and I am willing to pay the fleet creds and dil to get the elite version, it seems rediculous that I still cant complete my dred by getting the attack ship pets. As far as i know this is the only pet in the game that requires two ships to buy and use

Mind you, one of my alts has the JHDC, i would love to get the JHAS pets for it.
You are not being deprived. The people who went the extra mile are being saluted.
Yea id love to go the "extra mile" but the Attack ship is literaly unatainable atm. Also it was never in a lockbox, it was an extreemly rare drop in a few duty officer packs. And why does this "salute" not apply to ANY other ship in the game? Its not a salute its an incomplete ship. You dont need an extra ship to get a Fer'Jai, BoP or Mesh weaver so why this one? As a side note, I dont call having lots of money to throw on a gamble "going the extra mile", thats called "having lots of extra money to throw" but thats a whole other disscussion...
You know, in the olden days of MMOs people grinded for years, actual years to get one item they wanted.
And for example, Set Bonuses are salutes to players who bother to get the whole Set. Should I be able to never do an STF or Omega Rep and claim the various Omega Gear items? Of course not. It is the same with the ship - and there are other salutes as well, such as the Veteran Boff, Vet Rewards, etc.
I have not bothered to check, but there might be some bugs on the Exchange right now; but if not I am certain they will be in another Doff Pack in the near future and then make it to the Exchange.
Last I checked the answer was nope not gonna change.
It's not an incomplete ship, all carrier frigates are atrocities that should burn in a sun's corona.:cool:

Thank you neoakiral and tenkari. The only two people to actualy answer the question honestly instead taking the oportunity to troll or defend greed.
And Rihannsu you are not wrong. Ive been watchign the exchange for a couple weeks and have not seen one go up. This is my point. I dont care if this was a good idea or not in the first place but whether it still is. I got my main question awnsered though so thank you to those mentioned
You need T5 Science. Shipyard is for the fleet ships. Science gets you the hangar pets.
I see no real good reason why the ship is locked away.
Then maybe you should use the search button...had someone complain about this just a week or two ago in this forum.
Just because you bought one thing doesn't mean you're entitled to another, by that logic you should be complaining that your dread doesn't come with a MK XII Jem'Hadar set...makes just about as much sense.
that was me, and I bought the JHDC, I shouldn't have to get the JHAS to be able to get the pets...WHICH ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE TO USE ON THE JHDC!!!....it's like me buying an SUV but the tires are all teeny tiny spares...I'd have to buy a car of the same brand to get the tires for my SUV...sure I can still drive the SUV, but the tires would suck, they'd be too narrow.
that's the general feeling.
and to anyone else, If your argument is "I have a sandwich, so you can't be starving" , this topic applies.
However I am also firmly of the opinion that not every player can hurl god only knows how much real cash into annoying doff packs. I would happily save zen, or do a mad mark grind, or even hammer away at standard lockboxes to get one happily. But putting them in those doff packs was not in any way appealing considering the cash/gamble involved.
Don't get me wrong here I don't mind spending real money on sto, happily have, happily will, but as the OP said, there is no way of getting it at all atm.
And it would be nice if when they do start dropping them again they put it into something that has a chance of getting something else other than doffs in the inevitable event you get squat in terms of your bug you may still have something that makes you feel like you haven't just wasted your money.
I happily worked for my bastion flight deck cruiser, and on the very many occasions I failed to get it, occasionally I got a voth weapon or something nice.
But with things as they are there is no way for us simpletons who don't have access to time travel to go back and get one in the winter event, and has made this ship only really available for those with more cash to get it. Sadly I have heard a string of people ingame over the time I have played going to questionable sources (those websites) to obtain these ships. I find this disturbing.
On another note I did read the epic thread last year, but frankly thought it degenerated down to a flame-fest that was just a plain silly.
I do see both sides of the coin, but its difficult not to be irked when there is simply no way of gaining this ship currently. I also know they ran the event not long ago, I took a few shots, probably wasted more money than I should have trying for it. But it still hasn't stopped this ship from becoming totally elitist sadly.
And now judging by what happened to anyone with a simillar opinion last year. Let the ranting commence.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
To get the Orion interceptors you need to own the Orion Dacoit Flight Deck cruiser, and to get the Orion Slavers you need to own any of the Orion Flight Deck cruisers. So it's not unprecedented.
yes....but you can use those interceptors on the ship you need to own, not to mention they can be used on any carrier.
the JHAS pets cannot be launched from the JHAS, nor can it be used on any other ship (understandable in a way) not to mention it's an unlock the JHAS owners cannot use if they dont have the JHDC.
It's an illogical and insulting cash grab that seems to be on a downward slope after seeing such in game support, and a minor support from the forums.
That said, I paid through the nose for them, in real money for keys. That was my choice, and honestly if you really want them you can earn some real money of your own to get them, once they are listed on the exchange again. I also had to wait until I found a good price; sometimes you have to be patient.
So, before I will condone any giveaway of JHAS pets, I need to hear a great proposal for how you would compensate those who did pay the time/money for these pets? I don't really think it should happen, but let's hear your proposed solution.
JHAS is not a carrier or FDC, so no it couldn't. I listed those as examples of a precedent of forcing players to get one thing, to unlock another.
The JHAS is an ultra rare ship, so of course availability will be scarce.
You made the choice to do that, not them. The pets are not a requirement to use the JHDC. I use the DC just fine with elite scorpions.
You wanted the attack ship pets badly enough that you were willing to pay whatever price for them without someone sticking a gun to your head. No one needs to compensate you for a choice YOU made.
No, its not. In order to get the elite pets (you are not going to seriously argue that people are just going to sit around and use the default pets) you need the appropriate ship. You do not get the elite pets out of the box.
As a previous poster mentioned, the people that DID in fact buy this ship with cash or insane grind would have to be compensated for the sheer magnitude of investmen required for the ship, as if it were me, and they gave it away, I think I would have an anneurysm.
I don't see cryptic doing this however, it would be cool if they did some kind of zen re-imbersement for the ships, but given the sheer cost of this ship and the ingame cash outlay, and its possible effects then on ingame markets I really don't see it happening.
What MIGHT work PERHAPS and only if it would satisfy the playerbase who already own the ship, would be some kind of MIGHTY zen price, 10k maybe... I don't know I'm just thinking aloud. I would certainly save my zen for several months for it.
Another idea would be for an insane grind that was widely considered to be comparable to time spent grinding for dilithium-zen or ec, or even what people accept as an acceptable grind comparable to their RL expendature.
Sadly though, and it really does sadden me to say, I don't see anything changing in terms of availability for this ship.
It was my first ship I bought in the beginning, after my mirror upgrade on my first toon. I would love to see something happen with this as I would love to break my canon build out and finally finish it off with that much wanted bug.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
no you don't get them out of the box, who said they would?
Also it brings up another good point, i got 60 smackers ready to pay into the game for the damn elite frigates
should they ever be unlocked from the tandem gate between the jhas and jhdc.
I'd like to believe people would pay for zen to dil conversion just to have the elite fighters, it's at least profitable in that extent.
