The idea is to have ship market tab where you can purchase ships using credits to purchase and tech parts to build.
For example:
level 100 and up, x amount of ship images to choose from and a 2% increase to any stat.
level 200 and up, x amout of more images to choose from and a 4% increase to any stat.
and so forth, finally caping out at rank 500 with x amout of images and a 10% increase to any stat.
and maybe even special edition ship via galaxy legion points.
I personally think we need more uniqueness and personality to the game, and with this update also allow player bio.
thoughts?

sounds a lot like an old idea of mine viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18337

I like it a variety of diff ships would be nice. I always thought it was funny how a level 20 and a level 500's ships look the same if they are the same race. Would be a good update.

Each ship purchased should be placed in a hanger, and u can choose any ship from the hanger that u can use
Each ship should only be able to be used by certain races, if you change race and ur new race can't use the specific ship, it goes to the hanger and u get the default.


The cost of ship an be much more complex than just cr, we can also drag energy, RP, EM, CTP, political favor etc into it...
and tbh, if this gets released, GP might get dragged in too.

Or, better yet, why don't we add multiple different ships which are unique to each race, and you have to unlock the unique ships via missions or research or both?

Sounds like a substantial upgrade I would like this. It gets a little tiring to see the same old ships all the time.
Sure there's always going to be the masses that go for race X, profession X, because of their benefits. But along the way, there would be more people playing various races/ships etc.

maybe have the research and bonus only work when you are that race if you switch you'd loose the bonus the research would be still be done if you changed back but would prevent CCers from just changing to every race to collect the bonus.

+1 tired of seeing the same ships

+LIKE. I like your ideas. I guess you are playing Star Trek Online as well?
