When the new ship came out my first move was too look in bundles. Although I didn't see any intrepid bundles I had expected that, since i already owned the T4 version. Since bundles were not an option, i then looked at ships. T6 and T5 available for seperate purchases, but no bundles listed there either. As a final check I went to ESD and checked the ship npc at the shipyard. Again, T6 avail for purchase but no bundles. So i bought the T6 and took it over to the ship customizer and found. No special interiors. Rechecked Zen store and customizer. No special interiors available and no special interiors available for purchase.
Since i only have one account, i cannot attempt to verify, but i surmise that since i had previously purchased the T4 ship i was locked out of the bundle and, likewise, because i had previously purchased the Intrepid interiors for that same T4 ship I was also locked out of the purchasing the bridge interiors either separately and/or as part of the set. Which, honestly is rather off putting.
Seems like anytime a customer wants to purchase an item that is part of a set he/she already owns part of, they should receive at least a token discount, ESPECIALLY if said purchase was made prior to the item being made part of a set. At the very least don't prevent me from obtaining merchandise simply because i was a customer in the past.
I would be fine with purchasing the pathfinder interior separately, but rather annoyed that it is simply unavailable to me for unknown reasons, even more so since I will miss the opportunity to purchase this item at the current discount prices.

The new actual Intrepid interiors are not sold separetely nor are they included with the T6 ship alone. No bundle - no interiors. The old Intrepid TRIBBLE bridges are different items though.
Bundles didn't show up for him ... so it seem ... but yeah if he hasn't bought the Bundle I'm afraid he's screwed ... just like with the TOS & Belfast Interiors ...
Ya i specifically looked for bundles prior to any purchase. NO bundles were offered in zen store nor at shipyard, neither prior to nor after purchase. Nor could I buy anything separately.
Kinda seems like i get punished for buying part of a set, even though what i bought was not part of a set at the time I bought it. I would be ok with not getting the discount, but am a bit annoyed that it seems that I simply cannot obtain the pathfinder bridge. Submitted a ticket, but will be shocked if i get anything beyond the stock autoreply.
The T6 Pathfinder with Voyager Interiors were a limited time only bundle. I wonder if the bundle expired with the discount offered last weekend...
(I picked mine up the first day it was offered, just to make sure I didn't miss it...)
It happens with all bundles specially created like this. Just wait a little while I would not be suprised to see the bridges becoming available seperately after they feel they have sold enough bundles.
Purchase of the previous Intrepid interior would rule out both the Intrepid and Pathfinder/Interior packs.
Can hunt down previous notes from them on the inability to purchase bundles if you own a piece of the bundle, Galaxy - Dyson - etc, etc, etc...
edit: Ninja'd, lol - slow ninja'd - but I was watching TV and forgot to finish the post. :P
Actually, this is not correct. I already had the Intrepid Bridge pack, and was still able to purchase the single ship Pathfinder + Interiors bundle...
That's interesting but not surprising - Cryptic is anything but consistent.
same here, i already owned the 2 previous intrepid versions and was able to buy the pathfinder that came with interiors bundle, i think they had listed 2 versions first day it came out, one with voyager bridge interiors and one without for slightly less zen..
my guess would be that perhaps the op got the one without bridge interior..
Ya, i started looking on the first day the promo started, and several guild member were still able to buy the pack a few days after i gave up... so.. that wasn't the problem.
Except having been around this game for a while i specifically looked for packages first in zen strore AND at shipyard. Both places offered me the option to buy the T6 ship.. BUT, only one option. Finally did buy the T6 alone while the discount was running, but still kinda irritated i could not get the specialty interiors.
PS: got a response to my ticket. To paraphrase it said: "..because i bought the T4 i couldn't buy the ship pack." Even though in my ticket i was asking about the interiors.. not the ships... typical.
