I spent $40 on a new ship, I joined a fleet thinking I was getting a decent and powerful ship but the one I got FOR FREE at the exhcange is FAR superior.

Unless you can show me how to use the boff skills on my expensive fleet ship that I can on my free science vessel...

Ship specs are there for you to review to help you make an educated decision before you buy it.

Don't plan on getting a refund sorry.

From what I understand their policy is "Never ever, under any circumstances ever."

Which ship did you purchase from the exchange, and which fleet ship did you purchase? As far as I remember, fleet ships cost a maximum of $25.

Also, which boff skills did you want to use?

To answer your post, you don't get refunds.

This is the official answer from Cryptic in video form: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztVMib1T4T4

I assume the free science vessel is a mirror Recon/Deepspace?

What is the fleet ship in question? I'm sure that people here can help you with loadouts.

This.

I bought a Corsair because I thought I would get a discount on the Fleet Corsair. Nope! So now I have a completely useless ship that I've never used and never will use.

Thank goodness it was during a sale so I only flushed 1200 zen down the toilet instead of 1500.

I'm pretty sure the policy is hysterical, teary-eyed laughter.

yeah, I kinda figured as much.

I want to use gravity well and siphon energy on my fleet patrol escort that I'm somehow able to use on my deep space science vessel.
