    Wow. This would be an awesome package if the whole game would be in a TOS setting. Unfortunately I find using TOS ships in 25th century content silly, but again, this is a very nice pack. 124 bucks is insane, of course, so no chance of ever getting this if there isn't some sort of giveaway prize at one point, but the ships look really nice.

    But it's also typical that it's fed only.​​

    Wouldn't be so sure if those are actually (regular) FED-Ships ... or if this is just for a new faction called "TOS-Temporal-Whatever" (similar to Romulans) ... at least that what it sounds like to me ...

    Some of those ships look cool, might be persuaded to purchase one or two of them depending in stats and traits ect

    "This cosume unlocks for all TOS and Federation characters on an account."

    TOS is a faction? Maybe this is linked the possible new recruitment event? Can we start characters in the 23rd century now????

    My guess is that the rumored "Recruitment Event" is actually Expansion 3 (maybe some weird mix between "LoR" & "Delta Recruits") ... but we'll probably know soon anyway ...

    Indeed - the 'temporal' theme could well make them faction-less. Although, IF this is the case, it'll be interesting to see how they explain a Romulan or KDF officer flying around in a Constitution class ;)

    Well ... just noticed that Tellarites look kinda different ... with actual Pig-Noses ... maybe Temporal-TOS-Whateffs are restricted to certain species just like Romulans ...

    Wow, I actually like that. Shame there doesn't seem anything for kdf & rr in it but I think I might save my zen for this.

    I speculate that TOS characters will be something like Delta recruits. Having them a subfaction really makes little sense. Yes, temporal agents and all that, but having a TOS faction fight alongside/against all the TNG enemies is just silly. It's like Star Trek Timelines - I'd rather have a TOS sector space map, even if it's limited, to fly around in and do TOS style missions (like a old star cluster). That would be nice - just mixing ALL the eras! for the sake of "look, we have all star Trek i our game!" doesn't appeal to me.

    Even if you have a TOS themed fleet and/or RP group or whatever, you still fight TNG era villians.​​

    To be honest, I can live with the whole 'Temporal Agent' thing if it involves creating a new character for the purpose of playing through new content.

    I do not, however, think I can stomach a repeat playthrough of the entire 'existing' story (delta recruit style) again. In fact, I never did complete it with my DR - got as far as the 2800 arc and lost the will to live with the whole thing.

    I agree. Replaying everything would be tiresome. If we get a TOS "pocket universe" though, with STFs, battle zones, maybe a few missions I would be pretty excited. We were told to think big - thinking big, for me, is not just having TOS skins on our stuff and do what we did before.​​

    Pity they did not get inspired by Enterprise J's warp nacelles as well. I like the sleek, long, narrow look of them. Unfortunetly once again, they went for the fat and pointy option instead.

    I hope we get to start people in the past with a whole different setting and tutorial etc... That would get me to make a new character.

    Toying with the idea of being one of the first to purchase this pack. If nothing else, the T6 ships look very interesting. And if the Paladin Class is able to use the Tipler console from my main character's Wells clas, I'll definitely be pleased!

    I will have to wait, as only interested if my current Fed characters can use the ships..

    If it's going to be the only thing then yes ... but it's pretty safe to assume it's coming with a new Expansion or at least "Recruit Event" ...

    Personally not excited by the pack. I'd much rather they released the long over due Tier 6 Sovereign, Vor'Cha, Nebula, Norway, Sabre, K'Vort, Steamrunner and New Orleans classes. All of the afore mentioned ships would guarantee a purchase from me.

    The TOS ships i'd want to fly if i purchased this pack the Constitution/Miranda (not included)/Saladin(Not included) and Daedalus are Tier 1 & 2 respectively and after about an hour will be discarded and never used on a new alt as its levelled.

    This bundle meh ! no 1 ship interests me nor do the costumes or other perks.

    Furthermore, "Six Temporal Operative Specialization Qualifications" supports the idea that they have 'alts' in mind.

    Not really ... it clearly states those are going to be for your Bridge Crew, and only for 1 Character on your Account ...

    And since they clearly seperate "TOS" from "FED" Chars ... it begs to question what would be the difference between both, if not different Ships i.E. ...

    If it would be just something like "Delta Recruits" they wouldn't have to word it that way ... since Delta Recruits were either "FED", "ROM" or "KDF" ... not "TOS" ... so I'd wait until they tell us exactly what those new "TOS"-Characters are going to be, and how they'll fit into the current factions ...

    If it's just a ship pack without any new content I'm not interested. But if they release a full expansion with missions playing in the TOS era I'm definitely gonna buy it.
