This change is way past due. I want to be able to just buy a ship for a friend to introduce them to STO, and the only affordable options are the crossfaction T5 ships. the Mirror-Universe ships would be more thematically appropriate.
What's the point? They can get a free, but limited choice of a Zen Store T5 ship at level 60.
"You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.
Also, if they care enough to pay money for the -U token, they could instead buy the Elite Faction Starter Pack instead and get a cheap full T6 ship that's account-unlocked plus other goodies for their main captain. Or spend a bit more and get any other C-Store ship.
Does having them unlock the skin for the t6 ships of their class?
You can look that up for any ships you care about in the wiki, usually by looking at either the T5 or T6, like these pages for the T6 Nova and T5 Mirror Nova:

Was meaning as it's pertinent to the conversation. If they don't then they need to be upgradable, if they do then there is a way to fly them T6 so less a worry, then it's just about consoles and stations.
