If I remember correctly, the code will still be available with the purchase of a Star Trek Attack Wing USS Enterprise-E expansion pack. However... supply and demand kinda... blew up in Wizkids' face as the repaint that the code comes with sold out REAL fast.
I haven't seen one in stores for MONTHS, and was actually very lucky to get my hands on one at all with how quickly they sell!
Maybe? Depends on how lucky you are and how much you're willing to cough up. Unless you're somehow finding one in a random store you have to rely on the ridiculously overpriced aftermarket, like 200 bucks on ebay and stuff.
If you just want a T6 sovy in general then go with the intel version from the c-store which is argueably better than the command version.
If you just want a T6 sovy with command seats then grab the fleet version which somes without the trait and console but if you're after the set bonus for the battlecloak then be prepaired to be dissapointed.

It's pretty messed up that they gated set bonuses behind the purchase of a physical product. Especially one that is extremely undersupplied vs. demand/

It's partly the set bonus, partly because I like the look of the ship and partly because it's the only Sovereign variant I don't have.

Indeed. I was lucky enough to get one cheap on EBay. Love my Battle Cloaking Sovvy.

Yeah, this was a real 'd.ick move' indeed.
It's even stupider then gating a set bonus behind a one time only anniversary event ship.
If anyone else wants to get the ship, it should still be available at this link for just over 10 more days. With 'More than 10' available.
Not sure if it's because I am in the UK, but that link is odd, as the text above the ship for sale states "ship code not included", but the price and fact that they're seal suggests it must be?
Most curious, the review at the bottom of the page mentions getting it for the code with the only negative mentioned being it was 'a little expensive'.
Something I never thought about before; is the ship a single-character or account-wide unlock?
Its account wide, you get it from the "Promotions" tab... nice ship, the set is good, I ordered mine from eBay, and got it in my country in 10 days..
I love the ship. Took me a couple of months to get hold of one though and there's a great variety of visual options for it. It's just a shame the Fleet Command version is 5 modules though.

Yeah, i hate that too, considering the effort needed to get one, it's quite a limited item..

Agreed. While I have access to the Intel variant, the USS Lexington is a Command Sovy, and I love her. Unfortunately since the Command variant isn't C-Store, there is no discount on the Fleet one. Grr...
It took a year to buy the WizKids ship, which I was lucky to get off of Amazon for $15. I do have to say that I disliked the fact that I had to purchase 5 fleet modules to get the fleet variant. For some odd reason, I have a vague memory of Command version requiring only 1 fleet module when it was first released. Not sure what happened.
As for the battlecloak, it's definitely worth having. That being said, it does require that you to change your play style a bit. The starship trait is okay. Again, it comes down to your play style when flying that ship.
How did you redeem your code? When I follow the directions, ie: click the Arc symbol (brings up star trek online install screen), then klick the redeem code button, then enter the code I have, I get an invalid code message.
Thanks for your help.

I believe you input the code exactly as you see it. Its been a while since I did it myself. By any chance was there an O or a 0 in the code?
Thanks for the reply. No, no O or 0. The only possible ambiguous letter was an I or 1. I tried both. This character ended up being a lower case L, so I have successfully redeemed my code now. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome. Sometimes all it takes is an ambiguous character to throw the whole thing off. Enjoy the Command Sovy!

Apparently, they are still available on ebay.

Cryptic just loves to pull garbage like this.
Oh, nice. I'm going to have to keep an eye on that.
I once accidentally discarded the fleet version because the fact that it uses the exact same icon as the non-fleet variant confused me.
That's why I rename my fleet ships FLEET ______ when I'm not using them.

That's disappointing. Another strike against the ship or set bonus, despite how much I like the Regent skin.
