I realized that I have a VA ship token that I haven't used. If I were to use it, does that reduce the FSM cost of fleet variants to 1 as if I bought the t5 ship with currency?

I know, I should know this...

nope it doesnt.

ty good sir

To keep forum spam down I'll hijack this thread for a ship token question:

I've only used my Fed toon to farm 1-click daily dilithium, and now that he's at VA and still in his starter ship did he lose all those level-up ship tokens he didn't claim by not taking the promotion missions ?

As long as you have not deleted the PROMOTION missions, you should still be able to claim a ship from each tier.

No - you retain them all - go look in the shipyard

Oh, if you haven't done the promotion missions (i.e. visited Quinn) then you don't get the tokens. If you still have those missions available then you should do them.

You can go back and do those promotion missions from Adm. Quinn to get your token (Talk to Quinn, go to shipyard, repeat). I remember on one of my characters I had to finish it before getting my VA token. But you didn't lose it, you have just not claimed it, now the standard ship tokens are limited to certain levels IIRC, so you get one ship from each level- per level; the exception is the VA ship token you get as a subscriber/lifer.

Nice, thanks all.
