Are there any good C-Store shuttles that are cross faction?

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I wanted to purchase a C-Store shuttle and use it on both my Fed and KDF characters. Is the Stalker, Peregrine, Scorpion, or To'Duj cross faction?

I assume if it is cross faction, and I buy it from the C-Store, I can claim it on all of my toons. Is that a good assumption?

    there is no crossfaction shuttle so far. but a good point. there should be one. preferable something temporal and large like the voth shuttle..

    I see there is a Fed c-store shuttle. Are there any that work for both Klingon and KDF-aligned Romulans?

    Actually, there was one cross faction shuttle...

    It was a Ferengi shuttle from some event I cannot remember back in 2014, I think. Any faction captain could claim it. However, that shuttle is bound to character and it could only be claimed once.

    It would be cool if they added new temporal themed shuttles for cross faction; like the Epoch fighters. Those things look awesome and I would love to fly one. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the currently available c-store shuttles are cross faction.

    The kdf tojo fighter will work on kdf aligned roms.

    There is no C-Store cross faction shuttle but Romulan characters can use their aligned faction shuttles. The only cross faction shuttles are lobi shuttles which can get pretty expensive for such an insignificant feature.

    Sell keys, buy Aeon Timeship shuttle from the exchange.

    It's also available in the Lobi store. Where those specific purchases, rather than unlocks (much less an account unlock), it may be a bit underwhelming for the OP's purpose.

    There are no C-Store cross faction shuttles. They've all been Lobi store. But there are some decent ones.
    • Timeship shuttle (Aeon/Rozhenko)
    • Ferengi Na'Far
    • Tholian Widow Fighter
    • Voth Heavy Fighter
    • Vaadwaur Pythus Fighter

    My Fed- Rom & Feds use the Delta Flyer exclusively. Only shuttle with 2 boff seats

    Not entirely accurate. the Aeon has 2 BOff seats as well, a Uni and a Sci.

    I love my little Arwing. Just wish there were more opportunities to take her out for a spin. Shuttle combat is actually a lot more fun than starship in a way.

    Since it was asked but not answered romulans can use all shuttles of their allied faction.

    The Voth Heavy Fighter also is a two-seater. In fact, with built-in Hazard Emitters you could say it was a three-seater.

    The Delta is the only two-seater you can buy directly from the C-Store. However, if you purchased the D'Kyr from the C-Store it unlocks the Tal'Kyr Support craft, which is also a two-seater.

    Only Lobi Small Craft are cross-Faction.

    That's strange, I could have sworn...

    Only problem; Lobi shuttles / ships are not account unlocks.

    I think OP wanted to use it on multiple characters.

    LTS gives access to a shuttle for each faction. Mind you LTS is not exactly cheap.

    The captain's gig / general's chariot only has 1 boff seat but it has built-in Emergency Power to Shields.

    Also, it looks like the Tholian and Vaadwaur small craft are 2-seaters too (scroll down to comparison chart):

    The Vaadwaur Pythus is my absolute favorite shuttle in this game... A nice mix of strong hull and tactical ability: 2 bridge officers one is a tac officer, 2 tac consoles, and an innate beam overload ability...

    When I started playing I was told the Delta Flyer was the best shuttle (before the Pythus), but now I personally prefer the Pythus. IMO it's hardier and easier to control and it looks awesome.

    However being a one off lobi purchase you must weigh weather it's worth it to you or not. In the end there is a reason I have only picked it up on my main and the rest use the Delta/Scorpion/To'Duj.

    Heh. When I started playing STO, the Delta Flyer was *craftable* after running a certain daily-mission several times :D
    And just a few hours after I acquired it, the F2P-patch went live. Memorieeees.

    But yeah, Pythus is a real beast. And rather cheap on the exchange if you don't have the lobi.
