Buying T6 Fleet Ships skipping the normal version

organicmanfred · December 2016

Hy, I think I forgot some of the rules about unlocking costumes so I want to ask you:

I wanted to buy both Fleet T6 Assault Cruiser variants because I have no use for the traits and consoles of the regular T6 versions. And buying this Attack Wing stuff via internet isnt an option for me cause some covers of the packages are missing that special sticker.

Well anyway, IF I buy both T6 Fleet Assault Cruisers, will I still get both unique ship costumes (Vizer and Archon) or do I really need to buy the regular T6 versions too for the costumes?

Thanks

The Vizier and Archon ships don't look different from each other at all, the only difference AFAIK is that the Vizier (the one you can only get through Attack Wing) has a Command specialisation whereas the Archon (which you can buy in the C-Store) has an Intel specialisation.

Aside from that point of difference (and the console and trait), I believe they're the same ship.

Visually speaking, the two ships are entirely identical.

Personally I have the Fleet Archon and I love it.

I thought the Vizer and the Archon costumes are differently looking? Did you buy the regular T6 Archon too?

Nope, the T6 skin for both is exactly the same - you can also use the skins from the other T5 Sovereign variants and from the T5 Regent Class if you own it (I personally use the Archon skin for all parts except the nacelles where I use the Regent ones), but if you bought both hoping for two different T6 skins then I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed.

Ah ok, I really thought both variants would look different. I know about the T5 costume unlocks, but I still get the Archon/Vizer costumes if I do not buy the C-Store/Attack Wing T6 version?

According to StoWiki, to get the T6 Archon costume you need to buy the Archon or Fleet Archon itself - buying the Fleet Vizier doesn't seem to get you anything other than the standard range of T5 skin options as far as I can tell.

damn.. thanks I didnt check the wiki about that. Well, then the regular CStore version will do.

Thanks for you help

Lots of misinformation here.

There is a unique Archon skin included with the Archon you cannot get with other non Archon versions.

As far as the Vizier goes, the "template" is identical to the sovereign template. However, there is a unique "material" option called 7B. It gives your bussard collectors a yellowish look instead of red and a light baby blue color for the side nacelles. Again, unique to Vizier class.

This is it. I own all of the Assault Cruiser variants, I like the yellowish Deflector color on the Vizier as well.
