I get that some people like that show (not me though), and I understand that you have to promote it for CBS/Viacom.....
But many of us are paying lifetime subscribers. Been here since 2010. All I ask is that you lay off the Discovery stuff a bit and make the game more diverse. Personally, the Wrath of Khan era is virtually unexplored and I'd love to see more of it. But really ANYTHING other that Discovery. I can't be the other only with Discovery-Fatigue.

I'm not a big fan of that either, but it's not really a Discovery-centric game. A few months ago I would have agreed.
Sure, they still mostly release Discovery ships, but that isn't really surprising since it has provided most new ships in recent times.
I think you're focusing too much on ships you don't like and ignoring all the non-Discovery content.
Only that one captain gets the ship and trait, no other captains. There is also no way to "re-box" the ship to give to another captain.
That's true for all lock box, promotion, lobi, and Phoenix token ships*
* there was a console event that awarded a special account unlock of a Phoenix ship, but all tokens from Phoenix prize packs are per-captain
Fixed
And the ships in there are trekky... Are there not some that could still come here? Like that alien ship in s1e3...
What alien ship? S1e3 happened on the Enterprise, the surface of a planet, and in a cave. No other ships.
You really hit the nail here Reyan.
What some people though have missed is this notion that STO's developers are being forced or pushed into doing Discovey or all of these things from the various shows, just so that VIacomCBS can use the game as a promotion tool.
It's been said time and time again that while ViacomCBS did extend an opportunity for Cryptic to work with them on Discovery based stories, the devs themselves wanted to get all these things into the game, even if canonically they do not make sense, like the appearance of the 32nd century vessels (a time that time travel is not possible without being a crime).
Dang it, I thought that's how it was, but appreciate the clarity. This is the type of situation where if it was a Mudd then I'd be willing since then it unlocks account-wide but since it'd be so expensive gambling, even if I won 1, yet so restrictive heck no way. Again, thanks, davefenestrator.
OR!!!!
That also would assume that Strange New Worlds isn't more of the same Kurtzmanized, Moonves-compliant stuff that DSC (and for the most part PIC) is, with a very thin veneer of quasi-TOS slapped on. Their track record is not exactly encouraging so far.
The worse thing that could happen is I get to save $11/month by not subscribing to a streaming service.
That's 550K dil or 6.25 Colony fleet holding projects
The franchise has been gutted and is not much more than a glorified edgar suit.
They simply...have no life to them. There is no creativity, no vivid imagination, no challenges to make that leap.
The designs and ships were going to be a lot more authentic to original canon and the series would be dark but still very trek- the first two episodes of discovery still had that "feel" because the Shenzhou and crew were somewhat the original Fuller script and dialogue.
The ships in star trek are supposed to be characters in and of themselves. Discovery fails majorly here. I do like the Janeway class and the minty phasers. I could do without Postmodern uniforms that look like Communist costumes. The future starfleet doesn't look like the benevolent federation we know and Love.
Except for the fact that toilets are all function and no form. The curves are on purpose.
