"Missed" a big opportunity? That's only a missed opportunity, if there was a desire to FIND a big opportunity. (*there wasn't).
Missed a big business opportunity.
Cross-faction anything has more potential buyers. How many people wanted KDF or Romulan versions of the Delta Pack? That could have been circumvented. AND they get more people who want the thing, as well as less people unhappy about the 5/2/2 release. Could have been 2/2/2 with 3 cross-faction ships.
They wanted dilithium sinks? Cross-faction fleets (that go to tier 6) would mean people starting up brand new fleets. I can't imagine why there wouldn't be a great number of fleets willing to do this.
And those are just 2 ideas that were the result of 30 seconds worth of thinking.
So, yeah. They missed an opportunity.
TL, DR= more options>less options, especially when you're the one selling the options.
