What are the chances of us getting a Neo Constitution ship soon?

Indeed they stated in the most recent Ten Forward stream that the Neo-Connie was being worked on though they couldn't give a release date.

I would be shocked if it was. Promo pack is most likely, lock box at the very least.
It grimes my gears that ships people want is often behind gamble walls, sure you can wait for them to be available in the event campaign but still annoying.

Obtained during a limited time event in which special 'Infinity Promotion' R&D & Duty Officer packs are sold in the C-Store, that offer a very small chance of winning a T6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack.
More info on that here...

To make it simple: Be ready to sacrifice a goat, or a virgin in hopes of winning one, if that is the case.

I don't really wanna see the entire game flying the same ship. ::P
Also lets be honest if they make Zen store it will be extremely undesirable from a game stat point of view. At least as a promo it will more likely be top tier and worth running a fully min maxed setup on.
If you want one and your not already space rich. My suggestion right now is figure out how to make EC in the game. (It is not hard). You don't have to exchange PvP to get rich... that might be the only way to get ultra space rich. But to collect 1.5b or so to grab a promo ship when it launches is achievable just doing game things. Figure out what pays, or what you can collect that sells. I mean tour the universe is boring as heck... but you probably have 5 or 6 months before a neo con drops. You could also figure out how to farm consumables like contrband. Heck even just running a quick patrol on each of your toons once a day and selling off the junk is a legit way to make plenty of EC. Start your grinding now and save.
Let's just agree to disagree on that, I'm not a fan of putting things behind gamble box mechanics and the Neo-Connie being a C-Store ship would be a far better option for those of us who want to buy the ship.
I'd put the Neo Connie in the C-Store so that ship is available on all characters on account instead of on just one character.

Gamble box ships go Cstore eventually.
Anyway I wouldn't get hopes up to high. Odds of it being a promo box ship I would say are at least 50 to 1. lol
The small chance its not in a promo selection box.... could perhaps be that it is in some form of legendary pack that will probably include 2-3 other ships and cost as much as a Mudd bundle anyway. I could see them doing a Picard legendary bundle... NeoCon, Shrike + filler or another ship to ensure it gets a mudd bundle price of 14,750 zen on sale. (and can't be purchased on its own or with a coupon).
EDIT. Now that I think about it perhaps that is a decent solution. Remove the old picard bundle from the store. Make a new picard bundle with the Neo Con, Shrike, Miradord and the Galaxy museum edition with some La Forge "special modifications /solo voice". And an account unlock for the tommy gun, and the Picard S3 uniforms. This solves the Picard bundle value issues, means cryptic doesn't have to sell the NeoCon at standard price... and they could also give the Neo Con and Shrike decent gamble box level stats.
On paper, perhaps. It took me a LOOOOOOOONG time to collect the billion plus to get the Cerritos.
Personally, seeing these ships sell for a billion or more is SILLY...I even see LOCKBOX ships going for that, in addition to promo ones. I mean....seriously?
I hope they don't. Or at worst, a Science Vanguard. I really want that ship, but I flat-out don't have fun with Science ships. I'll be very disappointed if this ship is Sci-focused.
Hard disagree here. Sci simply isn't viable these days outside extremely specialized builds.
Personally I would prefer if they put some good science vanguards in the c-store, but so far they seem to be all in promo or lockboxes the way this ugly duckling neo connie will almost certainly be.
Drives me nuts too. Used to be you could easily save up the ECs without turning STO into a full time job to get a lockbox ship. ESPECIALLY one of the new ones. Nowadays... you're more likely to get a Vengeance for a reasonable price than most lockbox ships. And with how desirable the Vengeance is that's saying something.

Like I said earlier, let's just agree to disagree on that.

Well... I think the reason she was seen as weak was because she was outgunned for the most part by the Shrike, not to mention that portal gun. I have no doubt in a normal stand up fight she'd pack a punch like any other Federation starship. But when you got things like that portal gun... it does skew the odds in favor of the unconventional aggressor.

We all have our preferences. I personally feel that way about Cruisers. So, I can relate to your feelings.
(What are you even supposed to do with seven Engineering Seats? Seriously. I honestly don't know.)
Extreme Builds are not required. Specialized, yes. That is true for just about anything if you want ungodly DPS. Mine switches between Heavy Sci and Torpedo Boat with the change of about three Traits (another two if I going with a rapid-fire Tricobalt ship) and a few Consoles. Synergy is the name of the game, my friend!
