With the Command ships that was the only time I'd ever seen that happens. Typically when a new ship goes live, there's a sale at the time or soon after for everything but the new ship. It was that way when the Avenger and Mogh class hit, as I recall, and I vaguely remember thinking when the Command Ships were on sale at a discount that it was a little unusual.
The answer isn't one you're going to like. But it is established norm with Cryptic and STO. When a ship sale comes on, it NEVER puts the newest batch of ships on a discount. This isn't a Post-DR kind of thing Cryptic just started doing. It's always been there. The same thing happens with the very rare Lobi Store Discounts. The newest things are never put on sale.

Not the first time this has happened. I wanna say when the vestas were released there was a sale and they were excluded
Agreed, they already broke precedence in offering new ships for discount at the same time of a store-wide ship discount.
If you want my zen then call me when you have a discount... cya then.
p.s. And don't forget a zen discount before or during. Thanks much.
