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?
Personally I don't like the aesthetic of the 1960's version of the Constitution (I'm not a fan of the nacelle struts... they kill the design for me). I do like the movie refit a lot. However as I prefer other ship designs, I'm, not massively desperate for a Constitution at endgame... especially as I'd have to find a toon to fly her on (I do have an AOY flying a Kelvin Connie... but I've themed her on a TOS character and made her a Kelvin Timeline counterpart who has done a reverse Spock.
If I put her on my roster she'd shut just be gathering dust in mothballs and that's not fair when there are other people desperate to get their hands on it.
So I chose other.
What I would like to see on a TOS movie anniversary however, is a bridge pack. I was especially fond of the Enterprise A and Excelsior refit bridges.
Was never a big fan of the TOS Connie. It's inferior to the Kelvin Timeline Connie, and Shatner wasn't half the Kirk that Chris Pine is.
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.
See, trolling usually sucks because most trolls are sophomoric and facile. But quality trolling like this is great entertainment.
Iconians, may you never lose your edge.

I'm pretty certain I'm going to waste the money and get one to keep my KT Connie and Vengeance company. Turn-rate like a destroyer or slow escort, 5/3 weapon set-up, super flexible BO layout, great console layout, specialist seats, and molecular deconstruction beam, which is effectively a built-in DRB that heals your hull. What's not to love? I started liking Star Trek when TOS is all there was, so I've always liked the design. Plus, it has access to the TMP-era Enterprise A refit costume, and the Cryptic T2 cruiser designs, so I plan on swapping the visuals around pretty often as the mood suits me. Maybe I'll use the same mix-and-match I did at T2 when the game launched.
At the very least, I'm happy that a lot of people have gotten their wishes for a T6 Connie in various flavors, including Excalibur, and Klingons get their T6 D7, albeit the price for this is a lot more than some were anticipating. Each faction got a good ship from this box, just like the KT box, but Klingons in particular made out like bandits this time. D7 and K'tinga are some of the best ship designs in all of sci-fi IMHO, I hope I see a lot of those around.

If it was on the store, I'd consider it. As it is, I'm happy with the Kelvin T6 Connie and while I like the original don't feel the need to have a T6 version of it in addition to the other one I have.
Alas, that hasn't come to pass. I only sold out the first batch at cost. If this continues to dampen, I'm holding on to the next batch until next year.

Other. Glad to see the Prime Universe Constitution make it to endgame. And for those that are willing to spend the time, effort, and/or money to get it, I hope they enjoy it. But for me, I'll pass. Not going to gamble, or grind away to give Exchange scalpers, for a collection of pixels.
