Since this seems to be kinda taking over another thread, I figures I should start one...

So as the title...what do you plan to upgrade with your freebie? You can of course share what other ships you plan to upgrade as well.

For me...the first one is my fleet Morrigu.

What else I plan to upgrade is my sci scimmy and the fleet Jhu'ael...after that less sure of what I wanna upgrade.

    probably my MW D7, possibly my ambassador or tyton.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    I intend to put one on my Legendary Kelvin Connie.

    I'm not sure at this point: enhance my higher end ship, my mediocre ones, or ones that have fallen a bit behind? Will the extra Starship Trait and console really enhance my experience with any of them all that much? (extra device slot won't) Virtually all my ships can handle Advanced content, and doing Elite I feel requires a pre-made team that I normally don't seek out. It doesn't help that each of my characters flys a different ship, and some have alternates that they occasionally use. I have a few UR tokens already, but if I took all my in-use ships to Tier 6-X or Tier 5-U-X it'd require more than I have currently.

    Vorgon Ytijara Dreadnought is the free token for me as I love its 5 rear weapons, console set bonus and the way it looks. While I was negative about this ship when it first came out my opinion has changed and its now my no1 ship.

    Then when the prices settle down on the exchange the Caitian Aspero Support Carrier as it’s the best carrier in game from a pet performance point of view and lastly the Vorgon Ryn’kodan Carrier because I love the way it looks and the hybrid builds it can pull off.

    Don't know, don't really care too much as I don't play STO nearly enough given the screen flashing, rubberbanding, and consoles not activating. Maybe Mirror Crossfield, or Vengeance, or Valkis. I like variety, and being forced to render every single T5 and T6 ship old just sucks big time. Whatever.

    My free upgrade token will most likely end up in my account bank due to analysis paralysis to be perfectly honest.

    On PC, my Crossfield and on XBOX my Legendary Intrepid.

    I am in agreement.

    I will probably use it on my Valkis radiation blaster to add another EPG console and the Turtle trait for when the visual spam problem is taken care of.

    Probably the Vengeance.

    Just because I really enjoy flying it. It won't be the only ship I do, but it will be the first.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    I have 9 characters, each with a different ship. I'll do em all.

    Most likely I will use the free one on the T6 Fleet Vo'Quv

    Kinda surprised at how many player don't have a clear favorite ship that they will pick hands down. That actually speaks well for the ship design team that many people have so many different ships they wanna fly and play around with.

    My lack of decision is based on whether to use the token to benefit one character or one faction over using it on a cross faction ship that will be of benefit to all characters.

    Well, that plays into things too, but the far more disappointing reason I have is that some of my favorite ships visually -- Galaxy and D'Deridex -- are so far behind other ships in speed/turnrate/inertia and BOff layout, that I don't think the console and starship trait boost will help enough be on par with the better mechanically pre-X Tier 6 ships still. I don't like to have to kick the Competitive Engines (or other temporary turn/inertia boost) constantly to be able to move either brick around, particularly with lag eating commands/procs.
  • nimbullnimbull Member Posts: 1,566 Arc User
    Alliance Battlecruiser... solid ship that is account wide and comes with a built in cloak. The extra console can really beef it up nicely, extra trait on all toons is nice, and the device slot is meh but it's there account wide.

    The Bajor Interceptor and Ferengi Nandi are nice secondary/third options as time goes on.
    Green people don't have to be.... little.

    No idea yet to be fair.

    Normally I'd say: my Vesta. But since it already has 5 sci consoles and hardly needs a sixth... I'm not sure what I'll use it on.

    Maybe I'll just save it.

    Or I'll just do the most efficient thing and pick either the Legendary Sovereign or the Legendary Verity class. As those two ships are the only ones I'm using on multiple toons at the same time.

    I'm just not sure yet.

    That's a bit of my problem too.
    Do I use it on my main's Gold Plated T6 Temporal Connie, of which I only have the one?
    Do I use it on my TOS Sci's Legendary Crossfield to augment the Megawell Build?
    Do I use it on one of my KDF's ships?
    I just don't know right now which way to go.

    My first upgrade is going to be my legendary Crossfield, then the Gagarin.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,918 Arc User
    My main runs a T5-U Wells a lot. He also runs an Eternal. Debating as I love both ships
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Ughhh, Goddamn it. Still fighting off exhaustion so my brain went "Fzzzz" on the ship class name. I am going to leave it as it made me lol too :)

  • gfreeman98gfreeman98 Member Posts: 1,201 Arc User
    First ship will definitely be my T6 Connie (Temporal Light Cruiser). I can use an extra console and ship trait.

    Gonna toss one on my MW Disco Connie to maximize its power. I have other ships that could use it, but I'm going all in on that ship

    Fleet Avenger
    Fleet Engle (Earhart)
    JemHadar Vanguard Warship
    T6 Tac Oddy (Endeavour)

    I probably won't be using mine for quite a while.

    I'm not a min/maxer, and the game is already on easy mode using the gear I have now. So until there is a significant difficulty upgrade I don't really want to make the gameplay easier than it already is.

    That said, if such a difficulty upgrade actually happens I would probably use it on my TOS connie :)

    I was kind of joking about it, but now I'm curious what the performance of a T5UX Risian cruiser might be like, so I'm being strongly tempted to throw it at the ol' Latinum Princess.
