Ship Boff station upgrade token

With all the existing ships out there I was wondering if it would make sense to add a Boff slot upgrade token to the c-store that can upgrade a bridge officer slot from a regular to an intel or a command slot.

Since there are t6 ships that don't have either and there are a lot of t5-u ships out there it would make sense to give them an option to extend their life without having to remake all the ships.

You can sell different quality tokens depending on rank.

Ensign token 100 zen
Lt. token 300 zen
Lt. commander 500 zen
Commander 700 Zen

Those tokens would be able to upgrade the corresponding boff station.

    This will make commander eng ships absolutely overpowered

    I kinda like the idea with two provisos - one can't have more than 1 commander slot for each discipline (i.e. if the ship already has one commander engineering seat the highest one could do is a Lt commander engineering seat) and a max of 2 commander level seats. IMHO that would do much to put the T-5u ships on par with the new command and intel ships and one would not have to fly an ugly ship (those klingon faction ones are barking fugly IMHO).

    Honestly.... I feel that should be possible without that....

    With the about 2500 zen plus the upgrade token we pay as much for a t5u as for a t6. They should be balanced already, without any additional pay.

    If this were to happen it will mean every cruiser can do Surgical Strikes 3 and Override System Safeties 3 and Ionic Turbulelnce, then Aux to Bat it

    Actually real "Intel ships" should remain real Intel ships.
    Meaning they should be the only ones having a commander slot (same goes for command ships).
    Even some of the new t6 ships do not have that commander station (look at the raptor or that other warbird).

    But upgrading 1 lt to an Intel LC seems adequat to me. There wouldn't be a surgical strike III available for them then (hating to be the one who crys nerf but.... This power needs to be looked at anyway).

    This would give the old ships some footsteps in the realm of those New Powers and bring them es par with the t6s in terms of bo stations.

    But (again), i don't see why we should pay here, we payed for the ships and the upgrade token which supposed to bring them en par with t6 (and certainly does not do that)

    I would remove the ability to upgrade a station to the Commander level completely.
