    The bundle pricing isn't to bad. Good to see bundle pricing as an option for this.

    Will there be the option to buy the bortasqu and odyssey variants all for a discounted price together?

    Please....

    Looks great, will buy the bundle for sure. A bit of a high price, but I love the design. Getting to buy the ship in the C-Store (no grab bags) is nice.

    Will be released on Thrusday. That's most people's pay day. These people from Crypitc are smart cookies ;)

    For the Odyssey Operations Cruiser it says "+10 Power to All Subsystems" instead of +5. Has this changed since Al's post or is it merely a typo?

    I am not happy about the price. I think 1200 Cryptic point is more then enough especially since we do not get new interiors for lower levels to match and no flyable Aquarius Escort. In my opinion Cryptic is over charging for a virtual item. I rather pay a monthly subscription and stuff free.

    So buy 2, get 1 free (Bundle pack).

    Sold :D

    As no ships gives +40 I'm sure it's just a typo. :)

    I'm wondering if the ships will come in the nice boxes like on tribble. This way I won't have to have 3 open ship slots to buy the bundle.

    Good question.

    Very excited about these, Glad to see a VA ship added :)

    I had a good look at them on Tribble last night and have my layout ready to go :p

    The 3-pack bundle (4000 Cryptic Points) is a very good idea and will grab it for sure.

    Time to update my footer image! :D

    That's a "hell to the no" from me for the following reasons:
    1. I am done supporting multiple versions of the same ship. They could have sold this for 2000 CP plus a smaller additional amount per console but this money grab is too much. Your purchase reinforces this practice!
    2. The price is astronomical at an eye-watering USD $50 for the set. Not only is there NOTHING micro about that transaction, it's a far cry from an I-Win button to justify the pricing.
    3. There's not nearly enough content to use the ship in to justify the price. You can't do very well in the current STF dpsfests with it and there won't be any new FE's until late summer. Fly it around a Foundry mission I guess?
    4. The Odyssey is not a pretty girl. While miles better than the existing Star Cruisers, she can be eye-catching at certain angles in the right light but overall I personally prefer the current ships.

    I'd look at purchasing the bridge separately, but not if it costs more than the other bridges or is part of any of the Odyssey bundles.

    Way too cool.

    I presume that if we buy the three-ship bundle, we could in theory equip all three universal consoles on an Advanced Odyssey of our choice, in order to gain all three abilities? (i.e. Tac Adv. Odyssey with Chevron Separation + Work Bees + Aquarius Escort)

    Back to making regular house calls to Kerrat...

    JUST TO BE SAFE AND SURE ..... Purchase of the bundle pack unlocks all three on all your characters like the other ship purchases, correct????

    the bundle is a good idea, but 2000 for one and 4000 for three? 4000 isn't that bad, but these ships are not worth 2000 c-points. No ship in the C-store is worth 2000 C-points.

    Does getting the Odyssey unlock the new Odyssey bridge or will that be a separate CStore purchase?

    yes that's how it works. there is even a set bonus for having all 3 consoles.

    My thinking too.

    Money stays in wallet.

    CP traded with DL waits for something with value-for-time.

    So I can buy a new fullprice game with a hundred hours of playtime or get three thirds of a ship in STO... well I know where my money will go. And it won't be STO.
