    Think its a hard pass from me. Which is a shame, shoddy communication this time, such a shame.

    This is the first anniversary bundle I'm not going to buy. Some ships look great, but the exclusives don't interest me at all.

    New ships look cool. The Chekov and the Princeton in particular also have some fun stats. Everything else is kinda meh. Maybe if they did something interesting with a different statted Lafayette or gave the Mandukar a visual and stat pass, but as is I'd rather just buy the four ships over time instead of splurging for a pack.

    Tal Shiar Mandukar, seriously.
    It's out of topic, Wolf 359.

    I have a better question: Why is the T6 version of the Cheyenne going from Heavy Cruiser to Carrier?

    I might get a couple of the ships and that's really it

      Yeah, the stats look a lot like the Seneca, but the Seneca's probably better since it doesn't have such a weird console setup. Heck the T5U Constellation might be better considering the current state of Sci-Carriers in general.

      So is the Lafayette a remaster or just the same ship I already own?

      This bundle looks really nice for Carriers. Ahwahnee Command Carrier both looks very nice in ship design looks and a really nice layout + trait and console and pets all seem decent or good. Borg Kingdom Interceptor Probe as a bonus extra with a permanently active FaW mean they might be good. (Might) This could be the first pack I buy of this type.

      No idea but that is what is making me buy the pack so its a good move to me.

      It also says they self destruct themselves..... so I mean everything you want in a Frigate pet right ? ?

      It depends how it functions. If they only activate ramming speed when at low HP which rarely happens on a Frigate it might not be to bad. If the Elite ones get Permanent FaW3 that could be amazing. A lot of unknowns.

      I am thinking combined with Scramble Fighters, Hangar Bay Recharge doffs and the pets inbuilt faster bay speed bonus we could get an interesting combo.

      I've been wanting a First Contact Phaser Rifle for a long time.

      The new ships look amazing! Props to the people who worked on those! (Looks and stats/gear.) I'm really looking forward to getting those!

      The bonus items look cool, too.

      However... where's not just the Freedom, but the Melbourne? Not even as a costume? o_o
      And I REALLY hope the gear on the Mandukar was updated to be usable on any ship instead of restricted, at least.
      Also surprised the Constellation is just the T3 version. I forgot that the Constellation is apparently cross compatible with the Cheyenne/Ahwahnee. (Right?)
      Not as upset about the Lafayette inclusion. That seems fine to me, even if it doesn't seem to have anything else special.

      I'm... actually unsure about this bundle, which is a first for me.

      Freedom is missing from this anti Borg themed bundle. We have all the First Contact ships but we are missing one Wolf 359 ship

      Tal Shiar destroyer will take dust in most if not all ship rosters, no Freedom, no Melbourne, even an added Parliament would be mediocre. I'll pass this time...

      Oh look, more Borg stuff to further trivialise lifers' 'exclusive' playable species.

      The T6 Cheyenne is a mess why take a cruiser line and then make its first T6 a carrier and one Tac Slot really? Also instead of the Freedom Class getting a T6 you add the Lafayette which many people already have this is the most lackluster Anniversary Bundle yet.

      Thank you for reminding me why I've decided to never spend again on this game.

      What's the point of getting something 'exclusive' if the next bundle or event release is going to trivialise it anyway?

      nothing in this bundle takes form the life time sub?

      If you look at the Constellation skin, there's Eleventy-four hangar bays around the rim of the saucer.

      This bundle is a mess.
      You also killed the Cheyenne ive waited years for.
      The Promo ship is total rubbish.
      Its a clear cut pass.

      Doesn't change the fact that until now the entire line-up were considered "heavy cruisers", including the T5 Fleet version. So the sudden change to a science carrier is rather confusing.

      And annoying. The ship is a beauty, but carriers just don't grab me. I could probably make it work, but it would require a hideously expensive investment in Advanced Science Consoles to compensate for the lack of Tac consoles. This design choice really baffles me.

      but not any other skin for the ship. even the new skin only has a single shuttle bay door from what we have seen of it

      I was excited to finally see a T6 Cheyenne, until I looked at the stats.

      As much as I wanted the Ahwanee since I love the look of the Cheyenne/Dakota line of ships... nope! I am not going to shell out for what is essentially ANOTHER Science Carrier. We have too many of those already. If anything it should have been a Flight Deck Cruiser. Dumbing down the weapons to 3/3 on what is, by definition, a cruiser, is beyond ridiculous. This is not what I would consider a "natural progression" from T5 to T6.

      If it were a Flight Deck Cruiser with a better console layout, I would get it. This whole "You will take what we give you and you will like it!" mentality has got to go.

      I am torn on this one. Some ships look very cool, but a T3 ship and a very outdated promo ship that doesn't hold up to current design standards? I think it's going to be the first anni bundle I skip in favour of a couple of ships in it. Sorry devs.

      I can't afford the bundle this year, but after looking at it I'm not too broken up about it.
      The Hangar pets look interesting, but not worth buying a bundle that's over 13k zen and includes at least one ship I already have.
      I do like the Chekov, and am surprised to be the only one commenting on that versatile seating. I'll probably get it as a single ship, and maybe the Atlantis too.
