I fianaly have enough zen to get myself a ship. With the release of t6 ships. Is it worth it?
I dont want to waste good zen on a possably lower level ship.
I have read somewhere that some attempts will be made to make t5 ships still a valid choice

Hold on to your resources and then after t6 is out, you still like that ship and think it's a okay option you can always buy at that point.
Lol thats the ship im looking at. You must be psychic lol
I may stay my zen for now. You know when the s10 update will occur?
As to the Atrox, yeah, not found a use or situation for it yet.
IF the T5 ships will be worth it, then you can still buy one, and if not, you can scrape even more together and might just be able to get a T6.
Me personally: I think you will end up disappointed if you get a T5 ship.
I would recommend keeping your Zen and see how things unfold before making any further purchases.
If it's a ship you just want, love the looks of and you are happy with Cryptic's promise that they'll be usable at level 60 then by all means go for it.
But unless it's a ship you really, badly want, I'd also recommend you save your Zen until Delta Rising is here - or at least until more details regarding T5 ships are available.
It probably won't be that long after launch until T6 Zen ships are a thing either.
I saw one the other day.... When I climbed into mine and ran ISE, KSE and CSE in it. The Kumari is a VERY effective ship in the right hands (it's as simple as running 2 purple damage control doffs, et voila, it stops been a paper ship). Oh and I'd think that the rest of the PUG I was in saw it too.... :P
As to the Atrox, I see them a lot out in sector space. So there are folks out there still enjoying them.
Not everybody wants to pilot the same type of ship constantly, some like the challenge of using different ships.
The Kumari was once a VERY popular ship, until the "new hotness" ships came along is all. I still fondly remember the rants about how OP it was.... :cool:
Tier five vessels will continue to be a valid choice, regardless.
However, if you are one of these that has to have the "latest and greatest", then save your money.
and why t6 ships were introduced at all ? why not to keep goold old t5 ?
Because of after a long period of stagnation, the game is moving forward.
And the complacent are freaking out as a result.
A- Plug holes in your ships stats i.e; More hull and damage resist to your glass cannon.
B- Boost your existing DPS, and by adding new procs to your weapons.
They will be expensive upgrades, likely to tie in with the new crafting system. these upgrades will take no small amount of time to complete in order to give the illusion of more content.
I'm holding mine until mid-October.
im hopieng that since the lvl cap, you will get a free t5 ship @50, or we will have a load of t4 free2players running around in t4's, wondering why they blow up every 2 secs
And whats the harm if it turns out not to be that way? You can still buy the scim pack after more information comes out, fully informed eyes wide open.
The level 40 ships are T5 and not T4. Doesnt stop the store ships wiping the floor with them but that is down to store ships meant to be better than free ships to encourage people to buy them. Ask many PvP folks and they would say a person who knows what they are doing in a free ship with free sets can wipe the floor with somebody in an expensive store ship.
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
Hopefully, that wont be too far away.
I felt comfortable doing so for many reasons.....;
1. I'm not as concerned as some that the T5.x will be obsolete. I don't mean to dismiss others concerns, I just do not share them. Why? Like the blog said there will only be about 7-10 T6 ships split between the factions and that's not nearly enough new stock to adequately replace the existing stock entirely. And I, maybe foolishly, take Cryptic at their word that our investments will not be wasted.... possibly diminished, but not wasted.
2 I looked at it like this. I can go spend $60 on a new console game and finish it in a week, replay it the next week, and then I'm done. Orrrrr I could spent that money buying and outfitting a ship I've a) always wanted and b) will have fun flying for at least two months...and more than likely even longer.
3 I wanted to.
I will say that if you are going to buy a c-store ship, buy one of the best available just to be safe..i.e Scimitar, Avenger, Fleet Patrol Escort etc.
Just my 0.02EC. I know many will not agree but that's how I look(ed) at it.
