emblems concern

with upcoming seasons and ranks (Admiral and Fleet Admiral) I am worried that emblems will be obsoleted as were so many non-scaling currencies.. is this a valid cause for worry?

    It's a valid cause for worry, but the devs are already worrying about it, too. They've talked about consolidating a lot of the currency clutter down. Since they consider it a problem now, let alone at Fleet Admiral, I imagine the consolidation would go in before or at worst when the level cap goes up.

    I would reply to your question with a no... but a small chance of a yes...

    Why do I think No?
    Cryptic has discussed condensing down the numerous marks/badges/emblems down so things make more sense and lower marks aren't useless.
    It is likely that if and when T6 ships are released that they wont be a massive improvement over what we have now, or if they are, Cryptic have discussed providing options to allow players to upgrade their ships, most likely via crafting to be on par with the new ships. I highly doubt that Cryptic would want the hassle of causing people to buy completely new ships at T6, especially when most of the T5 ships had to either be bought off the C-store or grind a massive ton of emblems.

    All good right? :D


    Why I think there may be a small chance of yes?

    It could be that after reviewing all the above options it is decided that there's too much work involved and that the resources could be spent more efficiently elsewhere, which means leaving things as they are and most likely providing a new currency type if and when T6 ships appear. :(

    Now I do think that this is a small chance... and an insane move on Cryptic's part, but it is worth keeping the possibility in mind for the future.

    the fact they mentioned they want to cut down the number of credits.merits/badges etc i doubt they will introduce yet another currency so i would not worry too much.
