Love the idea of a Carrier pack though there are some odd choices of Carriers for this pack. I think the devs have missed a trick here, I would have added an Elite themed Pet for each Carrier as an incentive to buy the pack. More so for the Herald Quas Flight Deck Carrier which is possibly one off, if not the worst Carriers in game.
Then there is the Xindi-Aquatic Briostrys Dreadnought Carrier which is one of my favorite Carriers in game but to get the most out of it you really need the themed Xindi Console set for the Pet boosts.
The other problem with this pack is all the ships have terrible traits and terrible consoles on the whole and the few consoles which are good like the Xindi console are shipped locked. All the pets are shipped locked and the pets them self are not the best. So there isn't any reason to get the Carrier for the pets. I have a feeling this pack isn't going to sell well not because its a Carrier Pack but because the wrong Carriers have been chosen with a poor selection of traits and consoles which wont be of interest to most players. There is very little reason to pick these Carriers over other Carriers. Hope I am wrong as Carriers are great.
EDIT: Who ever made the picture has messed up the Xindi Carrier. Its the wrong way around.
There seems to be a lot of typos along with the backward Xindi image. Also at no point that I can see does the blog declare if its T5 or T6 Carriers? I would assume T6 Carriers or at least hope so. Really hope this is not a pack with T5 Carriers.
These can all be obtained, for me alone the xindi ship came in the rest i don't even use.
Xindi ship its a cheat mode fly like a fighter super fast and kemocite skill its a beast.
The Fek'Ihri Gok'tad Carrier could be loaded because it is not available anywhere now!
I love my the Fek'Ihri Fe'rang Dreadnought Carrier a monster but furiously sluggish.
Gok'tad Carrier would be something I'd love to collect.
It is a tempting bundle, mostly for the Xindi carrier, but sadly, at just short of $300 it is a hard pass, discount or no discount.
It might be worse then it looks as the pictures of the Jem'Hadar Dreadnought Carrier are all the cheapo T5 lobi Carrier. There is no picture or text saying its the T6 version. That's going put even more people off buying the pack.
Just a note for anyone not aware, the frigate pets for this Jem'hadar carrier can't be purchased currently, no matter which variants you own of the carrier and Jem'hadar escort. It's a known issue, and might be fixed soon, but something to keep in mind if those pets interest you.
