Am I reading that right? Single T5-U upgrade covers both Standard and Fleet versions? So it's no longer two upgrades?
thats good, time to do it again
ingame: @Felisean
Very nice, was way too easy. Being able to carry anyone through it was sad, as seen in today's livestream. Hopefully it's been pushed up to match the difficulty of the other Elite Queues.
Please tell me this isn't spelled like this in-game
There used to be a picture here, but they changed signatures and I can't be bothered to replace it.

Holy Kobali Jesus...
"Unlimited In-Game Mail Access" must mean something different to Cryptic than it does to English.
Still, the upgrade thing regarding the Fleet and Standard ships is pretty cool
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Guess we can pretty much guarantee the upgrade price now at 1k zen.
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
Your known issues are still missing:
Which is odd because some one actually went to the trouble of redesigning the interface for it. This indicates its still on the radar, yet the known issues indicate it isn't.
Nice change, but T5-U ships are still inferior to T6 ships, because they have one fewer boff ability.
There are several mechanics now that reduce transwarp cooldown. Can we get some information on how these stack?
hope you didn't make it any easier then it was in the last patch, and this was supposed to be in the last notes, its one of the easier missions at the moment.
Doesnt do anything to help me though, since I dont use the non-fleet base ships. Still have to buy upgrades for ~20 Fleet ships, so ... changes nothing for me. Maybe helps somebody else.
Assuming it means whats written.
Given the way the Kobali are, oddly appropriate name. But I think it's less Golgotha, more horsies for this one.
Huh, they're adding mounts or something?
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
dude, the joke was the spelling. Calvary, instead of Cavalry. its a Jesus thing. A place actually, but anyway.
also a Christian joke. the 4 horsemen and all that?
Would be a tough one considering the Guramba, Marauder, and D'Kyr...
Niiiiiice.
Truly this shall be nightmare mode.
Does it really matter though? There's a hard cap of 4 minutes.

Also, upgrading a fleet ship will upgrade its standard version for free.
This is only nice if its account wide.. (upgrade of fleet ship)
I don't care if my patrol escort is getting a upgrade, will never use it. I will keep using my fleet patrol escort, so the upgade is nothing to me, just hope i don't need to pay for it (price set at $10,00 and not at $5.00)
Ok. So if we have already paid for the fleet version, will we get a discount on the upgrade? Or are we out of luck on prior purchases? Granted, this is the test server, but you can bet people will be asking this.
Knowing Cryptic its probally going to be either 1500 or 2000.
You know the overlords see neverwinter is failing hard fast so they wanna recoup losses by making horsies in sto to try to atleast make money off that.
Whoa! Hold it! Please tell me this FX is gonna get added back in, that new swerve and dodge animation is one of the coolest additions in DR.
You know they say in official blog its gonna be 500 or 1 K right ?
they stated that it was being discussed internally and that it could either of these two but i wouldnt be surprised that because its beta testing before the final product that the price window may have changed due to the free upgrade thing.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
This is yet another foundry update that will make authors very happy!
It was never made official but that is probably what it will boil down too. Roughly they had this mentality with all the podcasts and interviews of last year and early this year saying buy what they have already made. Then they started to realize most of the players already own everything so then they vaguely talked about this expansion which for the time it took them to build it with zero input from players on what they actually want they came up with their own solution to where they make those ships they said to buy obsolete so they can just resell you what you've already bought.
Last few times they did this I was like okay to help support the game with time as a currency only but its become a trend where there isn't really anything new they just do a lot of cash grabs re-selling what you've already paid for. This is why I am sitting this new expansion out not fueling the fire to speak. Although they do not really care because the method of profits for them is the basis that there are more people out there to take a veteran players place once they are done with them.
That's a good question. Frankly I believe that 1 should cover all 3.
