I LOVE to see how many people actually care for this T6 Connie or NOT.
I'm happy for those who actually waited for this ship to come out and hope works out for you all. However, not sure the others who actually might not care about canon stuff from the original series. Old vs new say you? If you care or not explain your point and educate the ones who might see this as a meh...moment?

That being said, I know there is a vocal minority of STO players who wanted the TOS Connie at the endgame, so I'm happy that they're getting what they want.
MEh, Pine Kirk was just a some jerk imo.
Anyhow, Love to see T6 connie, NOT happy of the way it's being given.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

IMO I'm not going to buy or spend time on it. The older players might spend a fortune perhaps due to nostalgic reasons. I will be saving up for the next big thing coming around the corner.

This is a good post.
Other: Cryptic does not make this game only for me to play, though this announcement has made blood pressure boil, white fluid to fill the pants of others, I am going to keep on truckin and maybe open a couple of packs just for fun.

I didn't see that on the blog. Nice. Shameless cash grabs are an essential part of making money with video games, it's how they operate. They put an incentive (aka bait) out there expecting people to pay out the wazoo for it and it works, every time. It's a term of endearment, really.
Was hoping it would have been in the C-Store, so it could be unlocked on all my KDF-side characters.

Though honestly, I've never much cared for ships obtained by gamble mechanics.
Two T6 Connies in short order seems a bit desperate to me...
This will bring me back. Wish it wasn't just a limited R&D Pack, but I'll take what I can get. The T6 D7 and Romulan warbird are icing on the cake, icing that I likely won't be able to afford. Sigh.
I love TOS, it's my favorite Star Trek series, but I have always found the ship kinda silly looking. My favorite Enterprises are the 1701-B and the 1701-E, the rest are just kinda Meh to me. I love the shows, but the ships don't do much for me.
I will say though that while I'll never fault Cryptic for trying to make money (they're a business, not a charity) I don't care for the way the TOS Connie was implemented. I think they could have made a perfectly reasonable sum of money putting it in the C-Store instead of locking it behind a very steep pay wall. It doesn't effect me because I don't want the ship, but I still don't really care for the way this was handled. It's even worse when you consider that they released the Kelvin Version first to get maximum money from people who thought that was the closest they would ever get to a T6 Connie. Then they later release the ship that people wanted all along, give it ridiculous stats (5/3 layout, ideal console setup and 3 Lt. Commander Stations on a 150 year old ship?) and put it behind a pay wall.
Even though it doesn't effect me directly, it still feels like a slap in the face to those that wanted the ship. I'm quite disappointed in Cryptic and they way they have opted to handle this situation.
The fact now we'll have these tiny little cruisers flying around end game content makes me *sigh*
And also that they gave it a dreadnought/battle-cruiser weapon layout is just silly, imo.
compactified subspace folds... they're bigger on the inside
Of course, right now and for the next few weeks half the forum topics and half the talk in chat channels would be about TOS T6s, so it's easier said than done.
i don't love or hate it but i'm glad people got something they wanted.
