T6 Fleet Ships

[Ms. Mediocre]

I have a few questions regarding T6 and Fleet T6 Ships:

-If I buy the Fleet variant of a T6 ship, will the non-fleet variant be discounted?

-If I were to buy the Fleet T6 Avenger, would I unlock the Arbiter skin or do I have to buy it from the C-Store?

-Are Fleet Modules bound to character or account?

not sure what you really mean by first question, if you buy a fleet ship it doesnt discount anything same if you buy a cstore t5 or 6 as far as im aware doesnt discount the fleet version or non fleet one

as for the second one you will have to buy the arbiter to get the skin tbh im more of a fan of the t5u avenger than the t6 arbiter only the console from the cstore arbiter makes the ship worthwhile in my eyes

Buying a T5 or T6 C-store ship does decrease the Fleet Ship Module cost for that ship to 1 (for the fleet variant). Buying the fleet variant of a ship is better done after purchasing the C-store version due to this. One of the perks of buying the C-store ship then the fleet variant is cheaper.

You should do that anyway because even if you buy the fleet variant to save money, you won't get the Starship Mastery trait from the fleet version.
As for the modules, I think they shouldn't be bound at all, unless they come from a reputation project, in which case they will be bound to character. Don't quote me on them having been tradeable though, it's been ages since I last needed fleet modules

Which is kind of a non-issue for some ships that people might like for looks, but which have decidedly mediocre traits. Just keep slotting something good instead.

You only get the skin if you have the ship for the skin, so if you get the t6 fleet battlecruiser you do not get the arbiter skin.

fair enough i stand corrected :) but...why the hell would you want the fleet version if you have the cstore one haha :P

Fleet variants have more hull and shields, and an additional console slot.
