Themed Bundle Idea

dustyhayesdustyhayes Member Posts: 49 Arc User
So I was thinking about how some of the older event ships (Vorgon, Breen, etc) can't be won again as account unlocks as they once were and how they're only available as character only claims through the Phoenix Prize Pack. Well, what if the devs decided to do a bundle specifically around a certain theme? For example, I'm thinking of a Breen theme on this one, but it could be done with (to name a few) Cardassian, Jem'hadar, or Borg stuff, or whatever else is already in game.

The suggested bundle would come with the following items. Ships are account unlocks. Items can be claimed once per character on the account, unless it is accidentally destroyed. All applicable items would be purple very rare Mk XII versions, unless the designers are feeling benevolent and granting purple very rare Mk XIV like the Imperial Rift set grants. Though it would probably cost more if it did that.

Yes, I am aware that some of these items are available through mission rewards, Lobi store, the holiday vendor or other methods. But if you're going to drop a bundle geared around a theme, catch the interest and go a little crazy. Besides, they've had lockbox, Lobi and various other items in bundles previously, so not really suggesting anything new. This example below would center around someone wanting to play a Breen themed character. All non-starship items contained in this bundle would be character bound upon claiming, so they could not be traded to other players or other characters on the account.

Starships:
  • Breen Chel Boalg Warship [T6]
  • Breen Plesh Tral Heavy Raider [T6]
  • Breen Rezreth Dreadnought Cruiser [T6]
  • Breen Sarr Theln Carrier [T6]

Items:
Breen Cryonic Set
  • Breen Omni-Directional Cryonic Beam Array Mk XII
  • Breen Cryonic Torpedo Launcher Mk XII
  • Console - Universal - Breen Cryonic Module

Breen Absolute Zero Set
  • Polarized Parabolic Deflector Mk XII
  • Supercooled Combat Impulse Engines Mk XII
  • Dielectric Oscillation Resilient Shields Mk XII
  • Cryoplasma-Infused Warp Core Mk XII
  • Cryoplasma-Infused Singularity Core Mk XII (for singularity core equipped vessels)

Breen Adaptation Suit

Breen Tactical Officer Candidate

Breen Cryoshaper Set
  • Breen Cryoshaper Armor Mk XII
  • Breen Cryoshaper Personal Shield Mk XII
  • Breen Cryoshaper Universal Kit Frame Mk XII
  • Breen Cryoshaper Thermal Depletion Pistol Mk XII

Bundle specific title "Cool as Ice."

The following items are a "maybe" list. I add them only because I feel it would complete the whole Breen theme I'm going for in this example. And the bundle would detect which speciality (ENG, SCI, TAC) the character is and only grant the class specific kit modules along with the universal one, not the entire bunch all at once.
  • Science Kit Module - Cryothermic Armor
  • Science Kit Module - Cryogenic Stasis Field
  • Science Kit Module - Cryonic Pulse
  • Engineering Kit Module - Cryo Mine Barrier
  • Engineering Kit Module - Flash Freeze Bomb
  • Engineering Kit Module - Freeze Armor
  • Tactical Kit Module - Cryotronic Modulation
  • Tactical Kit Module - Cryo Grenade
  • Tactical Kit Module - Micro Cryonic Warhead
  • Universal Kit Module - Cryo Visor Blast
Training Manuals for the following: (not reclaimable after initial acquire on the same character)
  • Ground Science - Cryothermic Armor I, II, III
  • Ground Science - Cryonic Pulse I, II, III
  • Ground Engineering - Freeze Armor I, II, III
  • Ground Tactical - Micro Cryonic Warhead I, II, III
  • Space Science - Very Cold In Space I, II, III
  • Space Engineering - Endothermic Inhibitor Beam I, II, III
  • Space Engineering - Let It Go I, II, III
  • Space Tactical - Best Served Cold I, II, III

I seriously doubt a bundle like this would ever come to pass, or it would probably be too expensive to be practical for players to purchase. It was just a thought, but I thought it might be fun to have certain bundles be made for a certain theme if a player wanted to do something like that. Any thoughts from the community on them doing theme builds for the different factions in game?

    You could make a Vulcan bundle too there are at least 4 in game. one needs to be upgraded to T-6 though

    I'd happily buy a Mudd's Bundle themed around TOS or 32c.
    But I think they gave up on theme bundle after the terrible Mudd's Enterprise Era bundle
