"Beginning December 18th, two new Recon Destroyers are being made available in the C-Store on PC! These new vessels in the Dominion and Romulan ship lineage were inspired by the Federation’s Lafayette-class and the KDF’s Ketha Recon Raptor. They feature many of the technological advances seen there, combined with the unique shipbuilding advantages employed by the Dominion and Romulans, respectively. These starships will be available in both Non-Fleet and Fleet variants.
Special Introductory Pricing Discount! From 12/18 @ 8am PT - 12/22 @ 10am PT, you can get these ships for 2400 ZEN each when purchased individually, a bundle with either the Federation & Klingon or the Dominion & Romulan ships for only 3200 ZEN, or a bundle with all four ships for only 5600 ZEN! Thereafter, they will return to their normal price of 3000 ZEN individually, 4000 ZEN for either two-ship bundle, or 7000 ZEN for the four-ship bundle.
Fleet versions of each of these starships will unlock upon completing your Fleet Starbase’s Tier 4 Shipyard. The standard Fleet Module discounts apply if you have purchased the ships from the C-Store."

apparently they're getting ahead of the curve and doing BEFORE any of that happens - and it's a romulan and dominion ship to boot

1. This game is currently in a state that is not deserving of my financial support.
2. I barely ever fly tac ships unless it has full MW, TO, or INT, or Pilot seating.
I am also curious as to why the New Orleans class gets a visual upgrade, but the Ketha does not. Seems odd during YoTK. A ship model revamp seems to be right up the alley of the YoTK, and I can't think of a more fitting time than now. Unless this is an indication that the Ketha will get the revamp later on as part of the legendary treatment.
My guess on the New Orleans is that it was just a good opprotunity to give her a touch up since it is also a Recon Destroyer. The Ketha is honestly pretty high quality already.
The only Raptor that may qualify for Legendary status is the Somraw. All we can do is wait and see.

Normally I would take the money I was going to use on ESO to get Summerset on black Friday (I hate how the jewelry crafting is locked behind a DLC) but didn't since it was not on sale, to get this package but I will probably have to settle for getting one later at the normal price.
Anyway, they really seem to have outdone themselves this time
While I am very happy to see a new Romulan ship, I would not go as far as to say the devs have outdone themselves. They have simply met expectations, not exceded them.
The New Orleans is the only ship i dont like in the pack! (i have the old pack, because of the Ketha)
Still, kinda odd to be back-adding Rom and Jem to this pack, not seen that before. I wonder if the large number of KDF/Fed releases we got over Age of Discovery will get similar treatment.
Jem destroyer am curious to see it in game first to tell what it's really like from more angles. Is it meant to be a variant of the Jem'hadar vanguard carrier's heavy attack craft? That would explain why in some angles it seems short and cut-off (to dock with the carrier). Pretty sure it'll look great from any angle too.
Surprised they didn't add a picture of the Raptor, also a great design.
Finally some ships for the other factions!!
Yeah!, i'm happy too!
This year there have been more new Romulan and Dominion ships than Klingon ships, and WAY more Fed ships. The KDF has every right to complain and no part of that is remotely extreme.
Well than certainly makes more sense than what the players want.
I am one of your so-called "KDF extremists".......
I welcome this bundle. Yes, we wan't more parity between KDF and Starfleet (such an extreme desire) however any idiot can see that even the KDF has more love than the Romulans or Dominion.
We welcome ANYTHING that isn't fed only at this point.
Can anyone who owns and flies confirm this new Rahhae Recon Warbird comes with the following ship mastery?:
Precise Weapon Systems (+Accuracy)
Enhanced Weapon Banks (+Critical Severity)
Devastating Weaponry (+Crit Chance)
Enhanced Weapon Systems (+Weapon Damage)
I can't trust the blogs as whoever writes them has a very special talent for mistakes and omissions. Have they really abandoned Enhanced Singularity Circuitry for warbirds? I would understand if this were a totally new class of warbird, destroyer, aside from the Veterans-only Dinaes, except the latter still comes with enhanced singularity circuitry.
Wow that is interesting to know to confirm or deny, Singularitys make good use of that since they're a bit more power-deprived.
