Fleet Patrol Escort Refit vs. C-Store Version Q's

Just looking for some clarification here...

If I grab enough of the Fleet Ship Modules to purchase the Fleet Patrol Escort Refit, does the skin for the Tempest (C-Store Patrol Escort Refit) come with it?

Just wondering which options for ship customization will be available if I make the purchase that way.

Conversely, if I purchase the C-Store PER, will the options for the Fleet version be there?

Which is the better option?

Thanks for your help!

    No. You have to buy the C-Store Tempest for the skin. Otherwise at fleet you can use all of the free skins, the fleet one minus the Tempest one.

    The fleet skin is the Maelstrom. As soon as you buy the c-store ship, and skin will unlock for all previous purchases.

    As said above, if you buy the Fleet Version only, you will not have access to the skin from the C-Store Variant.

    If you purchase only the C-Store Variant, the Fleet options will not be available.

    If you want all the options, you will need both ships.

    In case you don't know though, if you own the C-Store version then the Fleet Version requires only 1 Fleet Module and not 4. This means that purchasing only the C-Store version is 2500 Zen. Purchasing only the Fleet version is 2000 Zen. And purchasing both ships is 3000 Zen (2500 for C-Store version + 500 Zen for 1 Fleet Module.)

    Any special consoles or items that come equipped on the C-Store Version will work on the Fleet Version as well.

    Hope that clears things up a bit.

    This is not correct.

    Buying the C-Store Variant unlocks the Tempest Skin and the Stark White Hull color.

    Buying the Fleet Variant unlocks the Maelstrom Skin.

    Buying the C-Store Variant will not unlock the Maelstrom skin. It's exclusive to the Fleet Variant. The only skin unlocked from the C-Store is the Tempest.

    Thank you for the responses... It did clarify things, but also brought up another question or two:

    Since the fleet version requires 5 FSMs, if I purchase the C-Store version, will the Fleet version still only cost 1 more FSM?

    Also, I am assuming that once the C-Store and the Fleet version are unlocked, then all skins and mods will be available?

    Thanks again!

    i myself recently bought the cstore temptest and the fleet vesion but i alreadeay had the malestrom skin i bout it when it came out years ago i love the ship but i uprated the fleet version and can tell you it is a fine ship that rarely gets killed in advanced or elite stfs especially with the option of having any kind f lt commander you want. vur even with the lt comander set as tac like i have it she a toufg bird and then throw in the nadeon saturation bomb console and 4 eng .5 tac consoles and 2 science i usually take 2 place in crystalline catastrophe .and yes mixing the temptest skin with the malestrom makes a unique looking ship. is the nadeon detonator console one that you can drop on any ship or is it stuck on intrepid variants only?

    Yes, it's 1 Fleet Module if you own the C-Store Variant.

    Yes, that is correct. You will have access to all skins available for that ship as well as the Saturation Bomb and Tempest Tailgun.
