Can a decrease in C-points be made for the T5 TOS cruiser for those of us who have it already at LT? I'm assuming it's going to be something like 1500 C-points but since many of us already have either bought the Connie through the c-store or pr-order it would be nice that we could either have it:

A) free

or

B) Discount [600 to 700 C-points off?]

or

C) third alternative.

i realy hope that this is not the pricerange they are considdering.

but yeah i kind of feel stupid allready having bought the Gamestop Pre Order on ebay just a week before it made it to the C-Store and now i have to pay again for a T5 variant of the very same Model? *hmpf*

I think it is stupid to do a Tier 5 of it... or the NX 01 or the J...
but that would be antoher topic and discussed to death allready.

I'm all for a discount, and a big fat leash being fastened to the Cstore, but at the current rate I don't see this happening. Intrepid, Defiant & Galaxy class ships are available to everyone Captain+ from the get go, and the T5s aren't free (If you want more than 1 that is..). What makes you think they'd do it any differently for a ship you can't get outside of Gamestop preorders or the Cstore otherwise?

Mainly because they would'nt lose as much money on it since not as many people would have bought the gamestop one or the C-store one since it's not as good. Meaning a small population of the community would be affected (Like the Galaxy X ppl).

if anything, they should INCREASE the price of the new ship for those who already have the older ship.

I mean, they already know you got that kind of cheese to throw around.

/sarcasm

So do you think they should increse it or are you just saying that from their perspective it would be a wise business move?

It'd be a wise business move, as well as encouraging the fanbase.

I mean, without the C-Store... what would we have?

(I'm being sarcastic both times. My apologies if the dryness of my humor isn't adequately communicated via text.)

Why should there be a discount? The T5 ship is a completely different ship than the T1 ship. They just happen to look the same on the outside.

What T5 TOS version? There is a T5 Excelsior comming out - a completely different ship than the one you mentioned.

I think the reasoning is people paid real money for ship model A with B specs,

and they are releasing ship model A with C specs.


So the theory is:

If I've already bought ship model A, can't I just buy the C specs instead of being charged for ship model A twice?

edit: but i don't have the ship in the first place, so I may be wrong in my interpretation.
