I do have the T6 Malem and T5 version (they gave that one out for free once). What is completely lacking is a DISCOUNT for people who already own items in the pack. Quite frankly it seems that Cryptic doesn't bother with that, they don't seem to care if I pay for the same item twice or thrice. Just as with Mudds market, they don't care if someone pays the full undiscounted price for stuff. And there are some people who will do that, and Cryptic readily and knowingly accepts that and just takes the money.
And it is exactly this ATTITUDE which bothers me. Cryptic will have to do much much better if they want any money from me in the future.

A zero cost way for Cryptic to finance and expand the foundry
Well then that would get the Romulans 'out of the way' for Legendary treatmen. Then take care of the Klingons and their Legendary Ship(s) in 'The Year of Klingon'. Finish up with the Jem'Hadar Legendary and everyone is covered.
What would be the Legendary Jem'Hadar Ship, you ask? Well, we have already seen them experiment with it by putting it in the Lobi Store on limited sale at around times where they are starting to make Lobi availible as Reward Alternatives. The Jem'Hadar Strike, etc. Ship. You already have three variations.
If they are going to do anything with the Dominion I would rather they expand it out to a full demi-faction (like the Romulans) instead of just making some token "Legendary" ship. Not everyone wants to run a mook and the Dominion is the only "faction" in the game where that is the only choice.
I wouldn't call the Romulan's a full faction in this game. You play a few missions before being forced to choose a faction, which should of had the options for an independent Romulan Republic and the Romulan Star Empire instead of siding with the Fed's or KDF.

Didn't Cryptic do that "if you already own something you get a discount on this bigger pack/bundle" at least once?
I figure since they've shown they have the capability to do so they may not possibly always be able, maybe code CBS or PWE restrictions or something, or probably don't find the effort worth it so decide not to offer that type of itemized discount.

That is why I said full demi-faction not full faction.

They only do discounts for the big "expansion" packs if you had bought the starter versions of those pack, never for ship packs.
In fact, if you have bought a ship that was part of a bundle, they usually prevent you from buying that bundle.
Oh dear - no Zen charge bonus, as there was with the Federation Legendary Pack?
No sale.
The discount is till the 30th so it may come around before then.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

Us TOS fans don't all have brittle hips, eat dinner at 3 pm, and use an aluminum walker to go watch Wheel of Fortune, you know.
I guess they never heard of the power of syndication!
Considering that TV isn't a thing anymore...
Facinating.
I use a TV for my Xbox and PC.
I use a TV to watch cable networks that is cheaper than all the paywalls that's all the rage.
My mother likes using the smart TV to use YouTube.
Why watch programs on a mini screen on smart phones and tablets when I can use a 60"+ TV instead?
Me gonna get this, since this will be the only way I can get a T'Liss, one of my favorites of TOS.
It is a pretty good deal actually. And the Picard version looks really nice to me. Still not getting it...but it's damn that ship looks nice.
When I get mine, I'll park next to you to check it out, if you like.
Damn, that is coldblooded, just savage. I am laughing so hard my face hurts.
I know it's not meant the way I read it and I am certain everyone can in time afford this item and it's a nice thing you're doing and its meant to be kind but still it's hilariously funny. Just killing people with kindness. It's so viciously funny you kind of expect to see it in a romcom or a sitcom cause their is no thought about the word play adding more value to the comedy.
Just comic gold. I imagine a dude sitting in a Chrysler 300 and then you pull up in a Rolls Royce phantom and say that same statement. I would just keel over laughing.
My nephew used to want to check out the cars I'd bought over the years. But when he bought himself a Dodge Charger, he couldn't be bothered to ask if I wanted to take a look at his car.

No sale.

The 25th is supposed to be when the third ship token/Lobi Crystal event is supposed to wrap up, so I'm assuming the Summer Event will start then. Which is also when they might toss in the Summer Zen charge bonus.

If they don't have the Charge Bonus when a Bundle first appears on Sale there won't be one before that Bundle goes off Sale. They would have a riot on their hands. They pulled the same BS with the Stealing Time Bundle.

Plus you can still buy an actual antenna for HDTVs and still watch local and Network TV for 'free' over the air.

normally when a game introduces a level boost item... it's to the OLD level cap so new folks can come in and play with their friends as they do new grind. They did offer up free level boosts to L60 previously for select folks when they raised the cap to L65. Just a thought.
In-game chat there's been a few commenting about their bundle's BOFFs & the lack of SRO & Infiltrator but I would've sworn on Cryptic's Ten Forward Weekly they stated the BOFFs would have those traits, oh well maybe it isn't all the BOFFs. Not buying so won't affect me.
I've also seen, on YouTube, where this Legendary T'liss is having visual option problems at the Ship Tailor, but that is a minor issue I'd think. The ship designs & options are impressive imo.
The surprise all things Romulan sale is a nice addition to coincide with the T'liss Legend.
Another LTS sale? Wasn't there just a LTS sale recently & this one even isn't $150?
This pack should've, imo, included a unique experimental "plasma" weapon or just gone 5/3 &/or included a unique Plasma Omni for more distinct Rom flavor.

A unique Plasma omni would have been a nice addition to this bundle.
This would have been a good opportunity to provide Romulans with Advanced Plasma Arrays like provided on the Discovery Constitution (Phaser) and Discovery D7 (Disruptor).

To those of you wondering of the 6 buffs only 2 have Romulan Officer, none of subterfuge or infiltrator. And the space gear is absolutely worthless. 4 beam arrays, 2 dual heavy cannons, 1 dual cannon, and 1 turret and 2 plasma torpedoes. Along with 4 plasma consoles, 2 part generators and then 2 of 3 different bad science consoles, and some mediocre engineering consoles
You do however get a warp core and a singularity core, and the space gear is decent if not that good.
The only things I actually liked were the ground gear. You get 1 of each of the 6 Special Plasma guns that have ammo, along with an extra piercing plasma and repeating plasma, and the armor and shields aren't too bad. The kit is bad, but having all the kit modules is nice.

Have you claimed the boffs? What are they?
I am also curious about the BOFFs. I will be buying the bundle with dil/zen, but I play on xbox so it is still some time before I will have access.

Unless that character already has full slots, then there will be account bound token(s) that can be traded to other characters to be used.
