The Khitomer Alliance has begun a brand new initiative in the wake of new technological advances across the galaxy. They’ve noticed no surplus of young, ready Captains looking to explore the final frontier, but there is a surplus of older model ships, perfectly capable, but waiting for the right Captain to take them up. With that in mind, we’re making a change to all Tier 1 through Tier 4 ships in the Ship Requisition Store. These ships will no longer require Zen to requisition. Instead, they will all be requisitioned through a modest donation of Dilithium. Here’s how this will break down:

[New Price for Ships that previously cost Dilithium]:
Tier 1 Ships will now cost 1000 Dilithium
Tier 2 Ships will now cost 2500 Dilithium
Tier 3 Ships will now cost 5000 Dilithium
Tier 4 Ships will now cost 10000 Dilithium

[New Price for Ships that previously cost Zen]:
Tier 1 Ships will now cost 15000 Dilithium
Tier 2 Ships will now cost 37500 Dilithium
Tier 3 Ships will now cost 75000 Dilithium
Tier 4 Ships will now cost 150000 Dilithium

This is a huge price discount – following current Zen/Dilithium conversion rates, you could now buy sixteen Tier 2 ships for the same price as before, and with the many ways to obtain Dilithium in the game, all of these ships have the potential to be free to players new and old. As these ships are now dilithium purchases and under deep discount, they will now be per-character unlocks, instead of per-account. (If you’ve previously purchased the ship with Zen, it will remain reclaimable on all of your characters.) The only ship that won’t change at this time is the T1 Prototype Light Cruiser Explorer. This change goes into effect this week on PC, and April 9th on Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Here's an update to the above post (because of *course* Cryptic can't get their blogs right the first time around), paraphrased for ease of posting:

Dilithium costs per ship, by Tier and previous purchase type (Dilithium/C-Store):
Tier 1: 1,000/15,000
Tier 2: 2,500/37,500
Tier 3: 5,000/75,000
Tier 4: 10,000/150,000

I'm... torn. On one hand, this is a great chance to get some lower level ships/consoles for the one whole Klink I have, but otherwise... eh.

Thanks. Post was renewed.
