Now fingers X'd i can actually buy the 10 ships this time around ....
Indeed. A nod to all things Trek Canon is great, but queue the inevitable 'entitled' viewpoint of 'it's weak, they should giveaway 'x'' in 5...4...3...2...1
Let's be honest, the same predictable people would play the same predictable roles no matter what was happening.
Even if they did NOTHING at all, the same predictable people would defend why that's ok and people were entitled for expecting them to do anything in the first place.

Joking aside, this sounds interesting.
This event is certainly a good way to advertise it

Don't be silly; it's not like this is the Year of Klingon or something
Counterpoint: Trek is a Fed focused franchise.
Counter-counterpoint: considering these other ships *already* exist in game, it certainly wouldn't have taken some huge amount of work include some of them like you mentioned.

That was what I thought too, they could keep most people reasonably happy with minimal work
As for the "fly around ten ships, listen to some lines from their respective shows/movies to earn a title", it's fine, for a last minute thing... I guess.
Though I get the feeling if they were left to their own devices, we'd be celebrating Star Trek Day with just a massive sale.
Most titles are per character. Any that are account wide typically have an associated unlock in the C-Store that can be claimed per character.
They never tell us that far in advance about any sale. Not even the Lifer Sub sales. Why should the Legendary Bundle be any different? [/devil'sadvocate]
The question is how do they put a Starfleet museum into a lockbox.
In this particular case, it comes in a legendary bundle

Don't forget they already did several revamps of ship appearances that are obviously iconic klingon ships as preperation for a Legendary ship pack. So its kind of baffling they haven't done it yet. I mean they made the Support carriers in like 2 months when they previously said it takes like 6 months to a year for a ship to get from concept art to finished and in the game.

Klingons have been showcased more than Romulans. The T'Liss probably was chosen because she was the very first Romulan ship we ever saw. The D'Deridex probably got ruled out because it was the ONLY Romulan ship for many years in TNG, and the Scimitar is technically Reman.
Klingons, on the other hand, have at least 2 ships of legendary status, the D7 and B'Rel. However they could easily expand to include other Klingon ships to reach a form of parity with the Fed bundle. May not match 1 to 1, but they have many options, including their own Bortasqu to match the Fed Odyssey.
And I wouldn't be surprised if the legendary pack went on sale again today.
Galaxy Quest was awesome. More Trek jokes in one bundle than anything before or since.
And Sigourney Weaver when she was still young, hot, and reasonably sane, before she got old and went "Coo-Coo for Cocopuffs".

Gee... what a surprise. Nobody saw this coming.
