I guess that's why the regular T5 destroyer is now a level 40, rather than 50 ship.
In regards to the fleet one, whats the point in the fleet galaxy? The fleet Intrepid? The Fleet D'D?
Clearly you didn't understand the question.
Why would anyone spend 5$ for a Fleet Module and 7$ for an Upgrade Token to get a T5U Veteran Destroyer, when they could just spend 5$ for a Fleet Module and get the superior Fleet T6?
But that was a rhetorical question. We all know Cryptic's attitude towards T5 and we all remember their lies about the T5U being comparable to T6. I guess it doesn't make much difference for Vet ships, since you get all of them regardless, but I still find it disgusting how all the T5, FT5, and even T5U/FT5U people paid money for are becoming overshadowed by the T6 variants.
I liked the "transforming" aspect of them, though I do have a t6 ship on my "main" my alts are flying the t5u vet ship. It is nice to get a t6 with a ship trait.
The 2014 should have been 2015. We're not Timetravelers. Yet.
Thanks for the correction. I'll probably take advantage after I get my next paycheck.

First LTS gets a free upgrade token AND the vet ship gets T5U status for free.
I honestly doubt I'll be using them much since I worked the past few weeks on improving my Xindi ships.
Add to that the .9 shield modifier and only 10 console slots and I think my other characters might as well use the Intel Escort. Not really impressed tbh.
That said, thanks for this change to the subscription rewards. It's nice to see that our Lifetime rewards are kept up-to-date
This ^^^^ completely true. Not impressed at all. Not worth the ship slots. I too don't understand the 10 consoles since it is a T6. All recent T6 got 11.

I spent $5 for a FSM and $0 for an upgrade token (NB no cost for that ship) to get a year and a half's worth of use out of that ship. Worked for me.

I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)
Horray for once again not being creative by making new, unique ships because you have no creative minds and just re-release more ships that don't need to be! And on top of that, your not gonna give us the Fleet variant, which is just the same damn ship with 1 extra console, and 10% extra hull and shield modifier, for absolutely no reason, even though this junk should ALREADY be Fleet varient considering the ONLY way to get this is to pay REAL money!!!!!
It's a good thing that your opinion matters very little in this situation...
Anyway, I am happy about this development and thank you Cryptic for making it happen.

I'm not one to stifle dissent, so long as it's civil, BUT this is just ridiculous.
Someone spent time a very valuable resource, to give us something FOR FREE. :rolleyes:
Cryptic, I thank you ! You made my day, which was going ****ty till now
This ^^^^ completely true. Not impressed at all. Not worth the ship slots. I too don't understand the 10 consoles since it is a T6. All recent T6 got 11.
its because the T6 bundles were released at fleet level hence 11 slots. (like oddy and dyson packs) Fleet version is coming soon so it will also get 11.
Addendum: Lets see, T5 level 40 vet dd.. nice ship! T5U, better ship. Fleet vet DD T5, even better ship. Fleet T5U, awesome ship.. T6 Vet dd awesome ship... Fleet t5U with newer console... a Little Trade off... loose the command slot, for an extra console slot....and run the newer version of the "Console - Universal - Enhanced Dynamic Tactical System"
And you can put the newer hsips skin on the fleet T5U.. Yep, untill the fleet T6 appears, It'll be the fleet T5U with the newer console..... Totally bad TRIBBLE!

Just playing the pedantic Devil's Advocate here, but the ships aren't "free" - They are rewards for paying a subscription (either monthly for ~34 months or shelling out for an LTS).
If you've already reached the 1,000 Day Veteran Reward, then the ships are yours for no additional money (but still aren't free).
I do love the new design on these 3 ships, but the animations still doesnt work properly. Same as on the T5 ships.
Lower phaser beambank doesnt show in tactical mode.
The extendend nacelle on the KDF ship doesnt work in sector space.
The ROM flip engine animation doesnt work in sector space either...

The T5U upgrade for the Veteran ships were completely free. There was no need to buy the token at all. I should know, I upgraded my Vet ships without the need for the token.

Aww heck. Well at least the Manticore nacelles work, perhaps the others will be fixed soon... I know its a long shot but it could happen. And still its great to have them updated at all.
As Zephram Cochrane once said, "That'll do, pig. That'll do." - April 1st 2015.
Resistance is futile...it looks as though...I'm about to be assimilated...:eek: I think the stats for the Chimera are still a bit better, but with a 3-pack available to all my faction toons...what can I say?
Coupled with Cryptic's recent progress in addressing bugs and adding content, I can finally justify an LTS!! Risa will be a better party than ever.

I see your point, without opening that whole can - o - worms, I'm of the impression that my subscription has already paid for itself, so anything at this point, for me, is a gift.

Scar, I'm just about certain it doesn't have an Excelsior skin. :P

My Delta Klingon is smiling the biggest smile he's ever smiled. Been using the T5U Vet destroyer with him and now he gets a beefed up T6? Ohhhhh yes!

Just use the parts from the first one. It's mix-n-match at the ship tailor.
I liked the "transforming" aspect of them, though I do have a t6 ship on my "main" my alts are flying the t5u vet ship. It is nice to get a t6 with a ship trait.

I'm happy for this ship i cant wait to use it.

It's pretty much this hard to keep just one timeline intact. ♪
P.S. As a lifetimer, I'd love to see new Vet rewards beyond 1000 days.
They arent even in the same league or in close to each other leagues...
But the trait is nice (depending on % that it increases it could be even balanced and nice addition to the game - contrariory to most earlier traits).

What if its intentional and part of trendy's easter egg hunt?

But technically, you are correct sir.
