it's a consumable item? All that excitement quickly turned to disappointment. I can never use that item now, it's going to be sitting there for the rest of eternity....or until I purchase that ship.

Well, if you get what you want...
This is the ship card for admiralty system, you can't test anything.
It could test his patience.

There's no harm in using it...just use it on an assignment where you REALLY need it badly. It's not like you'll never get other consumable ships.

Every ship card they give away would potentially be a missed ship purchase.
this is assuming that the other poster who stated "Every ship card they give away would potentially be a missed ship purchase" is correct.
only guessing.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
Or they could like someone said, put in ship cards to ships we never get like the Jupiter or Typhoon.

The x1 cards are definitely seperate from regular ship cards, and I suspect you can even have multiple x1 cards of the same ship (though that's probably not happen often, unless you start hoarding.)
According to some people you'll then have both crads. X times the consumeable version and 1 time your standard card from the ship itself. So even if you buy all ships you're not loosing out on those potential bonus cards.
Can't confirm it myself but some LTS player said that he/she got a T6 vet destroyer card additionally to the regular one.
thanks, that's good to know.

Yes and? What strange in that?
I guess some people didn't know this was possible. So yes, you can have consumable versions of ships you already own.
Sadly though, its the closest I'll ever get to owning one. (Even though I consider it the most hideous ship in game, it is a monster of a sci ship).
I hope they add Gateway support to this.
And they can add ship cards as reward to missions etc.
Also this System might be able to add ship cards without owning the ship as persistant one, so they could add a shipcard to lockbox rewards (or at least as account rewards if you own a lockbox ship?)...
Perhaps also a way to sneak in some ships that would otherwise never make it into the game? Thinking Yeager class, Soyuz, Freedom, etc. I'm still holding out hope on an actual New Orleans class though.
I got an insectoid ship, pretty cool even for a consumable
Yeah it's kind of a nice surprise to receive these consumable ships. I'm pretty happy with this admiralty system. Looking forward to this weekend so I can reclaim a bunch of ships on my alts.
Also Serious Dave is right. You can get 1x ship cards for ships you have permanent cards for... and multiples. At one point I actually had THREE of the T6 vet ship on tribble.

Incorrect assumption. The "(1x)" ship cards are a "consumable" Crit REWARD, and only a reward. Not a teaser for buying a ship. The "(?x) only indicates how many times you can use that "consumable reward" ship".
When testing on Tribble, I had several "reward" (1x) and a couple of (2x) consumable ship cards. They really helped my KDF toons getting some of the ridiculous SCI points needed..
As far a "Testing" a new ship. Forget it.. Admiralty is a Doff type mission. The ships are NOT playable, players can't use them, that are just a pretty "play-card" for the Admiralty System.
The only "money-grab', IMHO, is going back and getting the lower tier ships and Fleet Variants you didn't buy anyway. But that's the player choice. If you've been playing for a few years, you probably already have enough ships in inventory and/or reclaim lower tier ships to bolster your Admiralty inventory.
Again, IMHO, it's only a ploy/tease if the player feels they have to have them all; not a cash-cow for Cryptic/PWE..
Personally. I'm not doing any changes, reclaims, etc, until the "DryDock" System is live. Then I can re-evaluate, put some ships in DryDock, open up some ship inventory slots, and reclaim what I needed. No "money-grab" there since I should be able to do it all at no cost..
tyvm.. Have fun; Be nice to each other..
Most unexpectedly, this turned into a flame-fest! Closed it goes!. /sigh What flamefestery is this? pwlaughingtrendy
