    Bumping for visibility, and because this needs a dev to address this issue.

    The lockbox system needs a secondary prompt for opening ships, and lockbox ships need to be 1 per character. There is no reason to have both the T5 AND the T5-U on a character, and the system already recognizes that you cannot have two of the same ship (yet T5-U and T5 ships "aren't the same")

    more likely they will start to ignore any message with his name on it.

    More likely he will get a rude message, saying

    "This ticket will now be closed, and communication ended. Further persistence on this matter may be viewed as harassment and disciplinary action taken against the account."

    T5-U or, not T5-U shouldn't matter from a programming perspective imo!

    Plain and simple, you should not be able to obtain 2 of the exact same vessels from lockboxes, via opening them for personal use.

    Zactly! If PWE didn't have the most incompetent Customer Service Department in the entire gaming industry, they would immediately recognize this as a condition that cxannot exist, and help him.

    No. I paid for those slots, I'm not going to fill them with shlock. they are there for me to use, not for Cryptic's inept systems to claim for themselves.

    totally unrelated but you absolutely CAN have 2 of the same ship.
    One of my toons, I lost track of what I was doing and have 2 maha raptors on it. And that is obviously not a t5U version and t5 version, its two identical ships, only difference is one is in use with gear and the other is still as-unpacked.

    There is clearly a bug with this and the box should be given back...

    As a test i went to the ship yard and got a few more of my c-store ships... The only c-store at T5-U is my tac vesta.

    Guess what.... I now have 2 Galaxy Dreads on the one character. This system needs to be looked at and any discrepancies rectified.

    Any other MMO who had this type of problem would refund the item and shore up the bug.......

    C-store vessels are understandable, as you may have deleted a unique console and, it may/may not be retrievable via the dilithium reclaim store.

    Besides, they are account infinite reclaimable vessels, unlike the lobi or, lockbox and C-store packs!

    Exactly! These ships are one-off deals, so they should be protected as such!

    I never understand why Cryptic never understands our eyes are on them when mistakes like this are made.

    You can clearly not have 2 of the same ships (unpacked). This is no doubt due to the Upgrade system not realizing the two ships are, in fact, the same; but that is absolutely, in no way whatsoever, the OP's fault. Cryptic simply owes him a new ship (ideally, they'd go wild and actually fix the bug too, but that's maybe asking too much).

    BTW I've tried to get the GMs to do things in this game. Every single time they have responded that fixing things in the game, isn't their job. I think their only function is to tell people to post bug reports.

    Yeah I sent in a bug-report twice now, reminding them that this problem still exists.

    And bump, because this needs a fix.

    +1 The bump deserves a bump. :)

    Bumping for the sake of bumping, will only get this thread closed so, be warned!

    I still believe the issue well......should have never been an issue in the first place and, that it needs resolving but, I don't hold my breath when it comes to any MMO!

    Thank you for understanding. This system needs a rework, and I want to bring Cryptic's attention to this problem ASAP before anyone else falls into it too.
