We are close to DR launch, and yet there is not a single news from Cryptic on the cost for these ship upgrade tokens. When will this important information be released?

At the same time as the more important information, the cost of T6 ships, October 14th...
I'm leaning toward it being last minute, so that folks won't have thought to save for them so they'll end up spending cash for Zen instead of having converted Dil to Zen...

Be patient. In 5 days you will know. No need for Cryptic to start yet another rage wave.
didn't they say the upgrade would cost between 500z to 1000z?
Your pain runs deep.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.

What difference would that make? Cryptic gets their money either way.
I'll never understand the desire to look for dark conspiracies in the most innocuous things. We already know the upgrade token price is going to be between 500 and 1000 ZEN; if that's not enough information to plan ahead, I really don't know what to tell you.

I agree since they just had a ship sale to get people to spend saved zen.
Well that and the fact that I am having issues buying 5 bucks worth of Zen via the in game Zen store. I checked the ARC and they only sell 10 dollars or more. What gives?
Is the game still selling 5 dollars worth of Zen? Or are they gearing up to change that as well so it can correlate to a possible high ship upgrade token price?
It all sounds and looks fishy to me.
To be fair I launch the game via STEAM, so it is now having communication issues between STEAM wallet and the Zen store. However; as stated before, I checked ARC and they do not sell less than 10 dollars worth of Zen, its not even game specific. As Zen is transferred between the many PWE Games.
Thing is STO sells 5 dollars worth of ZEN, is ARC not tailored to match STO prices?

the 5 buck option was removed when the website went to arc about 8 months ago.

It's not just STO. Arc/PWE in general doesn't have a $5 charging option anymore, for any of its games.
Which is frustrating and annoying, but again, not a conspiracy.

I guess that answers it, they should update their in game prices to reflect this. So in the end the ship upgrade cost will be 10 dollars a token. Borderline double dipping if you ask me.
Guys read the blog...it will be between 500-1000z. We've known this for a while now. If people haven't been saving up for T5u or T6 that's not Cryptic's fault.

How much will it cost if you want to upgrade a fleet ship? Surely it can't be 1000 zen?
Upgrade tokens should have the same cost regardless. (Also, upgrading the fleet version of a ship will upgrade the regular version (where applicable) for free.)

Well for sure it will be 10 dollars, just from the simple fact they removed the 5 dollar option altogether should at least bring up some RED FLAGS, that and the fact that they have yet revealed the cost soo late in the game.

it's 500 to 1000 zen, don't know yet. when you upgrade a ship it's upgrade account wide. so if you upgrade a fleet defiant on character a it's upgraded on character b too if he has a fleet defiant.
the tokens will also be like fleet modules and can be sold/bought on the exchange.

...there are still lots of items in the C-Store that cost less than 10 dollars. And again, the wallet change was across all games, not just STO. You're reading way too much into this.

It's not a dark conspiracy in the least - it's simply how it will look on the books when doing the financials. Don't get all peevey just because that's beyond your understanding.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG

cryptic will say that "they are discussing it" but lol

It will likely be high. Plan on no lower than 1k zen. Sticker shock is best coated with the new shinines and distractions of DR.

Five hundred and one thousand are between one and ten billion, yes.

but we are still able to purchase 5 bucks worth of zen from in game? Or is that changing as well?

Hi mom!

Well I hope nobody dies :P
