I hate the change to the Fleet Store. I can't even enjoy the rest of the update. And this update was full of good... no this update was full of great changes. I love the improvements to my favorite game mode (Territory Battles), I'm looking forward to BB8, and the Shard Store is definitely better (as long as they don't stop putting new character shards in there as the get released).But I can't be upbeat about any of it. I hate the changes to the Fleet Store so much. That was my favorite source of cuffs, and guns. I have almost all the rare ships I need, more Zetas than I need, and 30k Fleet currency saved. Fleet currency is piling up, so I was finally at a point where I had a surplus, and was really starting to make a dent in my gearing projects. Taking that away was very upsetting. I don't know why this was taken away.Why did the Fleet Store get gutted? Was I getting too much gear? This was a horrible idea. I look forward to additional characters and ships being added. But I hate, absolutely HATE having the opportunity to choose gear instead taken from me. Not rage quitting, or threatening. But respectfully, my feedback on this change is I hate it.This is a different topic from the other store everyone is so happy about, and is just as relevant a topic for the front page, so hopefully it doesn't disappear. If you're upset about losing gear in the Fleet Store let me know.

I really liked getting gear out of fleet shipments I hope they put them back or bring a bunch of new ships straight into fleet shipments

And yes, I too need about 800 stun cuff salvage urgently, but I just think that it's way better now than it was before.Could you explain why you like that gear is gone from the fleet store? This makes no sense to me, unless you are conflating the shard shop change with the removal of fleet store gear. But your comment about the guild store makes me think you have some other reason you want less gear options available.

You know that you can still buy stun cuffs and guns with fleet tokens, right? It may be in a roundabout way, but it's what...11 character shards for 6 cuffs/guns, so the exchange rate is worse, but not by much...

Yeah. Just cash in those shards.

Fleet Store 2.0 is a terrible dissapointment

@JacenRoe I hear you, because I bought gear from the fleet store too, but I only have 4 zetas and 5-6* ships because of it...the fleet store was the ONLY extra place to get that stuff. Now that the shard shop has them, it gives players more flexibility to decide WHERE they will fall behind for this gear instead of having it be strictly ships OR gear (not both).

P.S. As I was writing this...the shard shop refreshed and there's cuffs there. :#

You must've had bad RNG...the store resets every 6 hours now (instead of 24) so they are in there, and so far by my experience, just as often as they showed up in fleet (for me anyway...)

What store are you referring too? This is a thread about the fleet store. There is another store that I heard recently had gear added. Ive got other currency to use for that store. Also I've only had cuffs pop up in one slot in that store, and I've seen 4-5 other pieces pop up in that same slot. There may be more than that. So that's a drastic decrease from having I believe 4 possible slots popping up multiple times per day in Fleet. I've bought 30 cuffs in a day out of fleet before.

Regardless, that's a different store. Improving one is not a good reason to ruin another.

It's a tradeoff. They expect you to use excess fleet tokens to obtain shards to spend in shard shop. It's all worth it in my opinion.

Eh - I hated spending fleet tokens on anything but zetas. Not sure why you think this is a disaster with the shard shop rework.

Nobody was making you do that. Why is taking my choice away ok because it was different than your choice? And the other Shop is a different subject. As I said above, it's not nearly as available, and improving one store doesn't justify ruining another.

I have other currency to use for the shards store. That is a different store, and has nothing to do with fleet. Also the tradeoff was removed. I had a tradeoff between Zetas, shards, blueprints, or gear. I had the choice to pick whichever I needed. That choice is gone now. Also I've only seen cuffs once in 2 days in that other store. With only one slot and 5-6 items in that slot then 6 cuffs every day and a half seems about average RNG from that store. I was getting 10-20 a day from fleet when I chose to pursue them.

You're never going to convince the boot lickers that removing choice is a bad thing, man. Everyone is trying to convince you why you're wrong, instead of recognizing that not changing the fleet store has absolutely no effect on them at all, they're totally brainwashed dude.

I actually like it better this way. I like not being tempted to spend my fleet tokens on gear, and the shard shop being focused on gear. As others pointed out, if you but shards, you can still get gear with it. If the majority of people like it better this way, why should the devs cater to just you and maybe a handful of others?

1.) If you put out an opinion and don't want any disagreement, don't put out an opinion.
2.) Why were you buying gear in the fleet store at the expense of character shards or zetas? I checked to see when you joined the forum and it was Feb. 2016. You're a long-time player, and this change benefits you because of all the ways you can get SS currency and you should have plenty of 7*s.

So you have no self control, and that means my choice should be taken away? Who's being catered to exactly? Nobody held a gun to your head forcing you to buy something you didn't want. Also do you have data to back up your claim that it's a handful? And as I pointed out, I can get gear 3-4 times slower out of the other store, and I have other currency to buy it with there. But that's totally irrelevant to the point that I hate the change to THIS store. Its is not an either/or proposition. We can have both. I'm not petitioning to get the other store reverted. I just hate the way the Fleet store was gutted.
