    In the end get them all, comes down to what do you want/like the most to play. There is always that surprise when getting a ship that's not even on your list. Take the Ouroboros Temporal Raider, I didnt really want her, I got her with the pack, once I took her out, OMG, I love that ship now. She'll never go into drydock.

    Not really an issue, but just my decision about the way Cryptic handles this type of marketing. So I've saved a significant amount of Zen, to me at least, to where I was considering purchasing a few bundles. Possibly a couple of mega bundles thinking that way me trying to be frugal I would get the most bang for my buck. So I was doing some research & saw where to get the most out of ALL of the mega bundles except the Pilot Escort mega bundle you needed to have participated in past events & earned that ship:

    For the T6 Cross Faction Multi-Mission Explorers Bundle you need the Lukari Ho'kuun. For the T6 Cross Faction Flagship Bundle you need the Krenim Science Vessel. For the Command Battlecruiser Mega Bundle you need the Kobali Samsar Cruiser.

    I say "need" but of course no one really needs any of it. However, if you want to get the utmost possible out of your purchase for completion of the set or for statistics you are SoL. Yes yes, I have read about those Phoenix Packs & they do offer a chance but if we are being honest it's a minuscule chance similar to those lock boxes.

    It's similar to where earlier this year (maybe late last year) Cryptic gifted players free ship(s). I get gifted a free Avenger, one that I probably wont use that much since it's a T5, & then I'm even more tempted to buy the T6 Arbiter to complete that synergy set. Similar to why I'm sure they toss in free ship upgrade tokens for T5s.

    Could I buy all 3 of those mega bundles? Yes I could've, but for me it's a "no" since I know there's a good chance I wont be able to complete the set without a lot of gambling & Cryptic has permanently linked it to those other limited time ships for better or worse. Would any/all of those ship examples still play well without the complete synergy console set? Very likely yes & maybe even better without the consoles. I'm more apt to buy the bundle that has the Arbiter, Kurak, & Morrigu since I already had the Romulan companion ships & was gifted the Avenger. I might even splurge on the Morgh since I didn't own that. Besides I can only pilot 1 of my ships at a time. Like I said earlier, not really an issue but just my decision about the way Cryptic handles this type of marketing.

    For me it was the kitty escort pack and the remaining Tier4 ships i had not acquired yet. Only the updated (C-store) D'deridex-class to go. Maybe I'll grab that one as well if the dil exchange allows for it.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Well I splurged: the Pilot Escort Mega Bundle, the T6 Cross Faction Battlecruiser Bundle, & the new T6 Cross Faction Advanced Light Cruiser Bundle. I always cringe when purchasing that much at once, but overall I feel they were good buys & I will be able to utilize fairly well.

    The Pilot Escort Mega Bundle since it has no tie-ins with event ships (it's the only Mega Bundle that doesn't), they already have 11 consoles (so that's really nice), & that's 3 different Starship Traits for all factions.

    The T6 Cross Faction Battlecruiser Bundle since Cryptic had gifted the Avenger sometime back (reciprocity), the Arbiter looks cool too, & the Morrigu can have complete synergy with the lesser variants' consoles that I already had. I think I still need to get the Morgh possibly for the Kurak though, oh well maybe in the future.

    The new T6 Cross Faction Advanced Light Cruiser Bundle was a debatable purchase. I wasn't thrilled about the Starship Trait, the appearances of the Reliant & the QeHpu' are awesome though while the Deleth isn't bad it just doesn't offer, in my opinion, any distinctive features.

    Thanks again for the sale Cryptic. I did my part & purchased.

    Also, I didn't mean to insinuate that to do one's part they have to buy something.

    Well I just went on a fixed income due to a major long term injury. Unfortunatly, this is the first ship sale that I am going to have to pass on. Finally start getting some good ships and I still can't buy them at this time. lol

    This is the first time that the T6 Explorer Mega Bundle has been included in a ship sale, so you can expect to see a lot more of them in-game as all those who have been holding out until now will take the plunge.

    As I'm not a sci fan those ships are bottom of my list- as I bought the newest cross-faction bundles, along with the T6 Excelsior most of my Zen is now gone so it looks like I'll be holding off this time around. OTOH my reserves of dilithium have never before been so well-stocked. So because I'm in no hurry to get more Zen I'll be waiting until the next phoenix event when the exchange rate will nosedive once again.

    Couldn't resist, got a Jhu'ael too last minute to pair with the giveaway T5 counterpart console.

    It will be disappointing that with a strong secondary science focus loadout it won't rival say a point and shoot Matha raptor's raw DPS, durability and effectiveness, but it's got a lot of flexibility to do most of that too, or build on it's crazy multi-task intensive abilities and other Rom-specific consoles.

    Guess I'm a little disappointed in the Rom/KDF Vestas as I just spam all 3 clickies at a target to deal damage.

    Romulans & KDF really need access to T5 Vesta consoles! Make it so Cryptic!

    Also, my top wishlist now is Rom Dyson Warbirds for whenever they are re-made as T6.
