However, it makes no sense that the Varanus triggers the discount, while the Ambassador doesn't. By all rights, being one freely upgradable for 1 FSM, the other has to. It's just not fair.
And to anyone who feels like "you know how KDF feels now", keep these topics for yourselves.
Now you understand the pains of the Klingons
Complaining about a fully functional free ship. I will never understand it.
no it will not upgrade, use it while you can I guess. At least we have our full set of Enterprises now.
Anyway finally both both FED and KDF Giveaway Star-Ships. The KDF one turns on dime. I am testing out the FED one now. The prior one I had for the FED was fix Ship name couldn't be changed. Okay testing ...

I'm not complaining. The T5 Ambassador is a pretty decent cruiser.
Its a generous free account unlock of a rare ship that was never sold to begin with. There is no reason whatsoever to give a FM discount, which requires that something had been bought with Zen.
If you want the Fleet Ambassador then pay the 4 FMs; its IMO the best canon Starfleet cruiser in game, so you won't regret it.
Odd I could've sworn that my Fleet store actually showed the Fleet Ambassador with the discount. Hmm. I'll check it later.

Big ship! Bit slow on turns and of course that could be fixed. Right now with my consoles it showing 14.6 deg/sec with Inertia: 40, FS is 31.95. Shields at 10.3K, and PTR is almost 400/420% at 20.9/sec Needs BOF with 3 slots instead 1 (2) and 1 (1) slots.
As this ship is actually level 40 (Rear Admiral) I won't need to rush my alts to VA to use it. Always a plus, IMO.
I haven't any RA's at the moment. Only character's below that. My Fed VA already had the Anniversary T5 parked in her shipyard. The C-Store indicated that it was currently available to claim at first glance. A bit too vague for my comfort. So I discharged my anniversary version. And then claimed it again via C-store. I just had to be certain that I did the right thing to trigger it as an account unlock.
A lot of unconfirmed opinions of this ships availability past September 1. No way to know until after 10am on September 2. If it remains for sale in the C-store at Zen cost, I concur with player's who think it should offer the 75% FSM discount to Federation VA's.

Put my cruiser setup on the Amby and clocked myself during an ISE run. I did 13.5k on my first attempt. Granted, the setup and weapons were a variation on a setup I know to be decent anyways.
Still, a nice ship. Looks way better than the Mirror Heavy Cruiser, as well!
Once unlocked for the account it will be available to reclaim from the Store. Looks like they added Promotional Item to it to prevent any FSM discounts.
The ship is in the Store
that makes sense, I wondered what that was all about myself.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
The Fleet Ambassador costs 4 modules because NO ONE EVER PAID FOR THE AMBASSADOR EXCEPT THE FLEET ONE! The KDF ship, people DID buy before it was released for free thus the discount. Other wise every person who bought it before hand would lose their discount so instead, they gave us the discount to be fair to those people.
That said they should have released the Ambassador and the KDF equal to it *forget the spelling of it so not going to bother butchering it*. Why they chose to do One and not both... who knows more nonlogical cryptic goodness i guess.
I bought the fleet ambassador for 4 fleet modules when it was new, explain to me why you guys deserve it for 75% discount. Neither you nor I paid for the T5 ambassador event/promo wise, so neither of us deserve a discount.
So the easy solution would be for them to create a Support Cruiser Refit with optional Probert skin and sell it in the C-store. Equip with Temporal Displacement module for a quick jaunt into the future for an instant ship heal by the Enterprise-D.

Would be a bit better if it called in ENT-E for a few secs to give covering fire :P
Let's forget the fact that they gave it out for free one year and a half ago.
The Ambassador they gave us, being a C-Store ship even for a limited time, by all means triggers a discount to the fleet one. If the Varanus does, the Ambassador should as well.
Back when we had the anniversary, it was a mission reward ship. That makes sense not triggering discount on the Fleet variant. Now it's not anymore a mission reward ship.
If you're gonna whine about something, at least whine about something that matters. The Ambassador promo was an account wide unlock, the Kamarag wasn't, not is it purchasable in the C-store or available AT ALL in it's T5 state.
BOTH the Ambassador and Kamarag cost 4 FSM's for their fleet versions.

The devs screwed up and they're all on vacation today. Luckily, it's not worth the hassle to fix anyway.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
Edit: Some people ingame told me it worked for them. So good news.
I did when I reclaimed it but didn't notice anything different on my account. I'm afraid to dismiss it again to test.
