Last year with the Halloween update the DLC ship "Black Ghost" was added. This ship was available for use for roughly 2-3 weeks before being disabled and unable to be equipped for those that owned the respective DLC, effectively nullifying the purchase of any players who were willing to buy into it - whether it was for the module or the ship. However, the ship itself does not warrant the time limited access that is associated with it. The ship has similar stats to a decently fit Vigilant and worse stats and usability than an optimally setup Vigilant. Not only is the ship worse than Vigilant statistically, the module mounts of the ship are extremely unoptimal with all bar one of the ship components being bundled together at the rear of the ship - making it extremely susceptable to Plasma Arc attacks and 'Sting' attacks from Stingray gunships. With this in mind - do you think the Black Ghost should be available full time for owners of the DLC whilst keeping the restrction on purchasing the DLC to Halloween and it's associated events? The ship is not extremely powerful and in some arguments such as energy consumption it is not even ideally setup compared to the current Rank 14 Destroyer line up let alone Ze'ta and as such allowing for it to be usable year round would have no long term consequences that could not be solved via community balance pass iterations such as the current stand outs in PvP. For those who do not own Black Ghost or are unfamiliar with the ship's capability when fully equipped here are some associated material with the ship as well as a comparison to Vigilant.

Yes, 24 hours to claim the permium ship reward. Anyone not there yet take note, it's not explained the player on unlocking the stage. Premium ships will be discounted by "-100%" but after 24 hours if you haven't picked something that just disappears. No warning, no explanation. As for seed chips, I've had my seed chip storage full before, so I was anticipating this, but would not expect every player to know. And I totally agree it is very difficult to make room for 35 seed chips in 24 hours, especially when you have other real life obligations, so the user should be made aware BEFORE unlocking that stage so that they can prepare. Would also be much better if you could pick and chose which to take if you don't have room for all of them. Same for seed chips collected in open space. Then maybe in some cases you don't need to expand the storage.

I will add some arguments that has been forwarded to me in favor of making the "Black Ghost" Available all year : The Unique Design of the Ship increase its visibility and it's easy to recognize Regarding the amount of works done on the Visual Design and Sound Design of the "Black Ghost" : it's a shame that it's limited in time The Black Ghost is more Balanced than any other Destroyers of the same Rank : No Unique Weapon No Unique Module Only one Special Module available Ship's bonuses are locked Ship's modifiers are locked Module Positioning prevent abusive fitting There is no "Premium Destroyer" in the game actually It would be the First Premium Ship to not have access to Unique Module/Modifier from other Destroyers. Limiting the Purchase Windows to Halloween is not problematic regarding "Endeavour/Spiral" craftability mechanics. Once Purchased, Players should be able to unlock it permanently unregarding the date or period of the year. A "Gold Standard" Fee to permanently unlock the Ship to make it reach the same price as other Destroyer DLC could be implemented (The whole DLC was 10E while a same Rank Destroyer is 39.99E) It would be around 10.000 GS The Premium Status could be removed upon unlimited unlocking to prevent general overuse of this Destroyer A lot of the new DLC Ships aren't Premium Ship, so it won't be problematic Destroyers did not receive new Ships for a Long Period of Time Destroyers distribution is greatly impacted by Ze'Ta and the lack of alternative is problematic and a Source of Frustration The presence of ship in the Hangar of players that bought it but can't use it is a Source of Frustration

Can you make DLC ships like dragonfly,bear,desert eagle colorable? Most of the DLC s have that option but not all.

Yes please!
