is there any clue about a legendary 11th ANNIVERSARY package ?, Will there be a package with Klingon theme ... and if possible with at least 1 month notice before we have time to plan for the purchase, or do you think which will be more geared towards the EDF again?

    I think that they will do a KDF legendary bundle. perhaps at the same time they will offer the original again as well

    They don't announce stuff this far out save very rare circumstances. IN this case my bet is the KDF legendary bundle they've all but confirmed.

    Well its probably going to be the KDF legendary bundle. We know the anniversary is supposed to bring us 3 missions that should tie up the current storyline, and they haven't released any legendary KDF ships at all while Roms and even the Terrans get one.

    The real question is whether they are going to take the risk of a KDF only ship bundle with nothing for Feds or whether they are going to bundle in a Fed ship or two with the KDF bundle. I would not put it past them to have a legendary BOP that is cross faction, and possibly toss in a legendary Excelsior (with something about Undiscovered Country to tie it back into Klingons) to sweeten the deal for Fed players. It may be another 10 ship bundle but not all KDF ships, just 7-8 of them. That is pure speculation but I think it would make sense.

    Unless they pull another cutsey reveal over a number of days as in the Anniversary Bundle, you won't get even a week advance notice.

    Well the 10th Anniversary was a HUGE milestone for the game, so i think they will not release 11st pack that big, but i HOPE they will release the 10th Anniversary Pack again this year, since 10th Anniversary was in 2020 and the year not ended, besides will not make sense if will be released in 2021, i top up some Zen on my account, just in case!

    There's already a Fed counterpart to a KDF bundle. Why would they need to add a Fed ship into a KDF bundle?

    Let the KDF have their thing. We Feds already got ours.

    I suspect it may be a smaller bundle. Not as many candidates for legendary KDF ships.

    I did a speculation post on another thread and came up with eight eligible Klingon ships for a Legendary bundle, the only thing missing being Science ships (Fed bundle had two).

    Now they can add a Legendary Titan Alliance Science Destroyer to a KDF Bundle. Filling one science gap. ;)

    A KDF bundle might be nice, though I fear it will contain more of the same old Disco styles I cannot stand, and would pass on it too just like I've been ignoring every single KDF Disco ship.

    One of the common refrains around here is how Cryptic claims KDF ships don't sell. That would be terrible for both Cryptic and the KDF if the KDF legendary pack doesn't sell.

    Is J.Q. Feddie interested in 8 KDF ships, when they maybe have one KDF character? Probably not. So why would they buy it? You have to entice them with ships they might want. Sometimes you have to deal with the world as it is, not as you wish it was.

    What will Cryptic do? I don't know, but I would not be surprised if they mix in a Fed ship, Rom ship, or two, and maybe make the BOP cross faction.

    I'm sure there will be at least one Disco inspired design, but most of them would probably not be and they'll also have access to all previous non-disco parts as well.

    Or make the 'legendary KDF' ships not faction exclusive. That's one way to bypass the issue of marketing a bunch of account-wide ships exclusively to a much more limited number of players: don't limit its appeal to just those players.[/quote]

    I honestly think that is what they have planned for the anniversary event, they will make a lot of ships cross faction that are normally limited

    I get the feeling that they might do T6 Dyson ships next year since they have returned to the transformation mechanics with the T6 Luna/Titan.

    It returned with the mirror Crossfield a while back, that said it could something they're planning just not becaude of the Titan.

    That idea is effectively deleting the Klingon faction. That isn't a good idea at all. The BOP has the history to justify making it cross faction, the rest don't.

    I meant because they revisited the transformation mechanics.

    I would say many people on this forum would disagree with that on both counts, me not included, though I think thats exactly what cryptic is planning and wants us to think of it as a good thing. the only question is are they going to at least pretend to to respect the fandom and IP, and lock it to playing past a certain point after which our characters are "alliance" captains or just give everyone everything. I'm guessing the latter, it's easier.

    personally I would save cross faction b'rel for a defector type storyline.


    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    The only DIS-KDF-design feasible for that bundle would be the D7, mirroring the legendary Donnie. It's the only KDF-ship that had a heroic moment at the end.


    The most likely ships for a legendary KDF-bundle would be

    the B'Rel/K'Vort,
    the D7 (DIS),
    the D7 (TOS),
    the K'T'Inga (though that will just be a skin for TOS-D7),
    the Vor'cha (because it was the flagship for some time)
    and the Bortas'qu.

    I really hope they also include the Negh'Var.

    If this is year of the Klingon, make some Klingon bundles.

    I'd love a single ship pack, like the T'Liss had going. LOVED that one. :D

    I would still like, & want, a Legend version of: an Orion ship (a type of carrier), a Lethean ship (an escort or a strike-wing escort type), a Gorn ship (a type of science vessel), a Nausicaan ship (a "transformer" destroyer), & maybe a Ferasan ship (an escort or a strike-wing escort type). Either a particular slightly better version of an already in-game ship or a brand new ship from those species blending parts of already in-game ships.

    Then 5 or 6 KDF ships given the Legend treatment: a has to be B'rel version (maybe a Pilot type), another has to be Vor'cha version (maybe a MW type), a Negh'Var version (maybe a Flagship (Dreadnought) version), but should also inlcude a: Raptor type, a D7 type, &/or a D9 type.

    At this point though, my excitement & anticipation is a bit deflated & think it's a toss-up of 50/50 of Cryptic to even deliver a KDF Legend Bundle with equal quality & probably not quantity compared to the Federation Legend Bundle. I hope I'm incorrect.

    A grand-trolling would be of Cryptic continuing their piece-mealing Legend ships trend 1 by 1 instead of a KDF Legend Bundle.

    I don't understand what your justification is. The number of people behind something is never a good argument.

    Do they even have bundles every anniversary? Except for the first one they always have a ship and some sort of episode or other content, and often have small prizes like keys, lobi, or old T5u c-store ships but the only special bundle I remember offhand was the Legendary one for the tenth.

    I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure most of the specialization 9 ship mega bundles came out around the anniversary. The Legendary bundle was a new type of thing this year, but considering it's not a permanent item I'm expecting it to become a regular Anniversary item. Kael has come as close as he can right now to confirming that a Klingon bundle is coming, but after that idk that we would see another big bundle like that in the future. I guess they could do a combined Romulan/Dominion bundle, but I kinda think standalone Legendary releases are more likely for those ships, especially since the T'liss already has a Legendary version now.
