    Okay so how could I purchase the ships that I don't own? Like the tier 4 D'ridthau Warbird?

    When they fix the Ship Vendor to add them. Supposedly, they were going to do that quickly. They keep using that word, I do not think it means what they think it means.

    Wow, this isn't fixed yet?

    Wait, why am I surprised? I should be used to this by now.

    They make a formerly weekend event into a 3 week slog and added a bug, or perhaps it's an old one (the "no backpack" bug) and I just have been lucky enough to never experience it before this year. Add this bug to the one not allowing progress in the new patrol past a certain point and I seriously wonder if they even bother testing these things internally before unleashing them on the playerbase.

    Back on topic, they need to add the old T1-4 ships to the Dil store ASAP. And they really should allow the Upgrade Tokens to make those T1-4 ships account unlocks. Buy the T1 Connie, use an Upgrade Token on it and it could then be reclaimed account wide for Feds, Roms and Jems. Just an idea, might even get them some more revenue too.

    They were more interested in getting them out of the C-Store before they had this C-Store Sale.

    I know it is Marketing/Business side of the game, and I know the Devs didn't make the decision, and I know the game has to generate revenue to keep going, but this is kinda infuriating. I mean the only reason to buy T1-4 (5 if we're being honest) is consoles and admiralty cards. I understand that from a business and in game economy standpoint this will (hopefully) have positive results in the long term, but at this point I'd just like to be able to buy some ships somewhere for whatever currency I have to shell out for them.

    And of course no refunds for those of us who used zen to buy some of the ships. Yet another reason why this game is DYING.

    What an incredibly stupid thing to say.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    You will likely have to wait 1-2 weeks or until they again make the former Tier 1-4 ZEN ships available with Dilithium. They have said a FIX will likely be coming, but have not seen any resolution yet.

    er, no thanks - whats the matter with this game. we can use t6 ships when we start the game up, I dont want to pay dilithium for more, lesser ships that just dont go as far in the game.

    This. When you geniuses decided to allow the use of T6 ships from the start, everything below Tier 5(upgradeable to Tier 5U) became completely worthless.
    I wouldn't even want to buy those with EC, let alone Dilithium or Zen.

    You can bet this comes because they realized NO ONE bought any Tier 1-4 ships from the Zen Store anymore anyway.
    Rificulous.

    There's is more value than just the ship themselves: The costume, admiralty card, console/other equipment. The lower tier cards are quite useful as shuttle alternates.
    I don't like where this game is going. First you add Mudd's Market which offers stuff for horror prices WHEN on sale, The Legendary Bundle for horror price for a SALE (which anyway cannot be bought to my knowledge today, so that was a misleading thing too).The Kelvin admiral pack I got free when there was a promotion now I cannot see in my promotions tab as unlocked (Mudd's Market). I haven't tested yet but can I still use them account-wide?

    As for the main issue here:
    I 'kindof' support the idea to make ships available for characters only for a reduced price OR have them be bought account-wide for zen. Taking the latter option is absolute nonsense. Especially those ships are a slightly buffed version for the dilithium ships with different visuals, so buying them for zen had a point until now. So doing this, you devalue your previous mindset as well. Finally what happens with bundles with like the Legacy of Romulus Legacy Pack. That bundle contains lots of T1-T4 ships. And on your new mindset why would anyone want to buy that pack in the future (including me who planned to sometime in the future) because 1.: those ships can be bought per-character 2.: The bundle may not be account-wide. In my opinion the T6 for every level was a big mistake but I thing the dev team won't acknowledge this and continue on their path ruining the game with decisions the player base don't like, based on profit like Ferengis.

    I'm sorry you felt mislead by the legendary pack, but I clearly understood from day one it was going to be in the store itself only for a limited time. I'm not sure why people were confused by that.
    As for the old Kelvin uniform, apparently I got that the first time around. It doesn't appear in the C-Store, but if you go to the tailor, it's there. I checked myself when the Mudd version came out.

    The posts about the pack did not mention any expiration date, but maybe I can't read I don't know... and also the big red on sale timer suggested that the bundle will be available for the more horrendous price after the sale expires

    Houston, we have a problem. Double Posts, months after the fact. Few other Threads in GNN similar.

    One person made a number of posts but the Post count is 0.

    Has anyone heard of any fix for this incoming? 7 months later and this is starting to feel like a 'feature' not a bug!
