C-Store ship/material question.

Every time I come back to STO for a nose around, it seems things have gotten even more convoluted. Anyway, my question is this - how exactly does unlocking the "nuTrek" Material 7 in ship customisation work?

Do you pay the 3000zen cost it lists and then get access to the material on all your ships? Or just that one? Or do you have to buy specifically the matching Tier 6 version of the T5 Multi-Mission Recon Explorer(and the same again for every other ship you want to use it on)? Or does buying any C-Store ship with the number 7 material unlock it for your other ships?

    Type 7 is exclusive to T6 ships, the reason why it says 3000 zen is because it suggests you to buy the T6 version of your ship.
    Hard to say if this is intentional or the tailor just TRIBBLE up by showing stuff that shouldn't even be available in there.

    Eh, you sure? Someone ingame yesterday was trying to help me figure this out and they appeared to successfully equip the number 7 material on T5 hulls. Certainly looked like the right one when we undocked from ESD.

    Did they own the T6 version?

    Have to own the T6 version. Only applies to the ship you bought and earlier Tier versions of the same ship. So if you say have T5 and T3 of a T6 ship you bought, you could now apply Type 7 to them.

    Eg. I have T4? Voyager. I bought T6 Pathfinder. Both are the same type of Science Vessel so I can apply Type 7 to my T4 Voyager.

    Right, OK thanks guys. That's actually depressing - just to make all my 25th C ships look "right" will cost about 80 quid.

    One last question - is there a list anywhere of exactly which ship "costumes" work with the T6/T5U versions? Some of them are listed on stowiki but it's a bit patchwork. Among other things I want to figure out if there's a way to keep using my TOS character's Pioneer as I level.

    Sry, no real list about that one but basically costumes stay "in the family". Like the fed "heavy escort (+carrier)" is just the overall name for the Akira types which all can use the 6 ship models from various tiers if you own them.

    As for the pioneer, it's a standalone ship with no high tier equvialent. T1 forever.
