    Right now the only Connies available outside of the Legendary packs are the Promo ones, the Kelvin Command Connie, and the Mirror Warship.
    If you're wanting them account unlock... only option is the Legendary pack for the time being.

    The Constitution Class from the Promo Boxes are not currently available on the exchange. The Exchange caps at 1.5 Billion EC. They are currently selling for around 2 Billion. Not sure how you get one, some type of trade channel or something. If you sold keys though, $120 wouldn't get it, it would be closer to double that for a singe character unlock. At that price, you're best buying the legendary pack, but as of yesterday that's no longer available.

    If all you want is a T6 Connie and don't want to pay that much for it, I suggest going with the Mirror Warship. That is going for about 810-830 Million on the exchange at current value. At 8M per key, that would put it right about exactly at the $120 price you quoted. It's a good ship, and it can use the regular Constitution Class skin if you don't like the Mirror look. If you're looking for the Promo Connie that is going to be well out of reach for most players. The Legendary is currently not available, so the Mirror is your best and cheapest option.

    Good luck.

    ah, the "Kelvin's" guy is back...let's see where this post will lead to.

    On topic though: 120$ is enough to buy like 4 T6 TOS Connies. Just get those sweet keys with Zen and sell Keys on Exchange or trade keys directly for the Connie in various trade channels.

    The legendary Connie from the bundle is what it is, leave it behind that pay wall most of us are just unwilling to climb.

    Lets do the math on that shall we?

    Keys are 1125 Zen for 10 keys. You can buy 10 packs of keys with your $120 getting you 100 keys with 750 Zen left over.

    Individual keys are 125 Zen, so for 750 you get another 6 keys for a total of 106 keys.

    Keys sell for approximately $8 Million EC Each. 106 keys gets you $848 Million EC.

    The Promo T6 Connie costs approximately 2 Billion EC. How exactly do you get 4 of them for that? The math doesn't add up.

    What that 848 Million EC WILL get you though, is the Constitution Class Mirror Warship that I linked with about 50M left over.

    There is no way to buy 4 T6 Connies for $120.. not happening.

    Well, you do know that those Legendary Romulan and Discovery Bundles are in the C-Store for 12,000 Zen list, which is about what... yes $120. Maybe he's proposing a Constitution Bundle similiarly.

    Any time people complain or talk about the cost of items in the C-Store the discussion is always on the basis of 100:$1 (1000:$10). Hence why I used that equivalence.

    Sales are immaterial to the discussion because they can be at both the product end and/or the currency end. I'm not an idiot and avail myself of the sales and bonus end.

    There is nothing that exists for the Constitution at $120 so it seems to be a call for making a Constitution Bundle of similar cost.

    Padding and fluff to make it a Bundle to vaguely justify the cost of a 'Bundle', rather than actually advertising a ship itself for sale at $120. They could just as easily add appropriate fluff to a Constitution 'Bundle' to serve the same purpose.

    Of course you could go hog wild and have 'The Four Connies' (apologies to 'The Four Seasons') Bundle. Temporal, Discovery, Kelvin, and Mirror with no fluff and charge 20,000 Zen.

    As it sits right now, you can buy the Legendary bundle which will get you multiple tier 6 Constitutions, you can take your chances with boxes, or find one on the exchange or from someone willing to sell. At this time, those are your only options if you want a tier 6 Constitution. Your best bet would be to wait for a sale and then buy the legendary bundle as you get multiple Constitutions for less. If you want a tier 6 Constitution, you're either going to be paying cash/EC, or trying your luck. there are no other options.

    Is the Legendary Bundle still available? I thought that ended on the 1st?

    I was speaking in more a general sense, but I should have been more specific on the legendary pack

    There are a few Legendary Single Ship Bundles for Example the Romulan or Discovery ones come to mind. But would have to wait for them to be available again at some point.
