Greetings
I recently dropped a ship in hopes I would be able to reclaim it later. Sadly, I wasn't able to reclaim it. It was the 3rd anniversary T5 Support Cruiser Retrofit.

As a suggestion, I would like to see all ships added to reclaim.
Thanks

Vanilla Odyssey, Bortas and Obelisk can be obtained in the fleets for 200,000 fleet credits. The other two would be better to be put in the event reclaim area.
200k fleet credits is pretty huge also out the range of most characters that could use those ships (fresh level 40s)
TRANSLATION: It would make the special snowflakes who have rare ships feel less special snowflakish.
If you remember, the Bort and Odyssey were Vice Admiral ships, so they were already out of range that level 40 players could use them.
The Obelisk Carrier is more into that range. Like you said though, it would be out of range of people.
I couldn't agree more!
envy
'ɛnvi'
noun
1.
a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck.
I guess the main reason why this will never happen is the $ they still get from boxes. I imagine making lobi/box ships account wide would pay off on their initial release but in the long run it's waaaaaay more lucrative for them to keep them character only.
Though +1 on the Ambi, Kamerag & Obelisk issue and make then upgradeable.
I don't know, I know of a lot of players, myself included, who would play the lockbox-lotto a lot more often if those ships were account reclaimable.
QoL has nothing to do with it, money has everything to do with it. the ships content are cryptics best sellers, why do you think they keep pushing out ships every other month? if cryptic start making this change it will cut their profits, that is why this will not happen.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
there is always another alternative.
if cryptic were to make these ships account unlocks but also make them account bound from the start plus removing the chance of players obtaining more of the same ship from any subsequent lockboxes opened then the only way to obtain these ships in the first instance would be by opening lockboxes making them a thing of the past on the EC exchange.
by doing this any player who wants any particular ship would be forced to play the lockboxes to obtain them making up for the fact that players who already have them would have no need to try for more of the same for alt characters on their account although players who have already won a particular ship may still open lockboxes for the chance to win other ships from the current prizes on offer without the fear that they could just get the same ship again.
having said that I believe that if players were offered this choice as a possible change to the current system most players would choose to leave things as they are.
although players would like the ships account unlocked they also want to sell future ships won on the exchange and I think most would rather have the ability to sell these ships then have them as account unlocks.
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.
Speaking of special snowflakes...
Do you have a debilitating stutter that prevents you from finishing sentences?
If you lack the intellect or wit to properly construct a rebuttal it is probably best not to try at all.
If anyone is acting like an entitled "special snowflake" I'm afraid it's you.
I'm sure my meaning is clear to all.
Struck a nerve did I.
Perhaps it is.
You know what, I am going to go ahead and apologize to you - I was unnecessarily snarky about a comment that was not even directed at me.
You have a nice day now
from 40 to 50 u can do anything with last free ship
from lvl 50 u can run defera hards
plus daily fleet marks package
10-14 days , 30-45 min / day -> free T5 ship
with Bortas u can run almost anything in STO ............or at least grind dil/zen for T6 ship
I would be in favor of it, even if the price of keys was bumped from 125 zen to 500. Maybe even 750. The exchange prices would skyrocket, but they would be so much better an investment.
