By not providing a method beyond the two bundles which include the Intrepid-R any of us who supported the game by purchasing the Intrepid-R BEFORE Delta Rising was ever a thought are not able to acquire the beautiful new interior that comes with the bundles, all because Cryptic locks out the option to buy a bundle you already have a piece of.
The simplest solution would be to add it as a stand alone purchase under interiors. If you wanted you could even make the option to purchase dependent on owning one of the 3 Intrepid variants.
It could be as simple as providing alternate bundles. Maybe one similar to the DS9 bundle which includes the Belfast bridge; you can tie in a couple Duty Officers, a couple outfits.
If you still want it locked to bundles, why not create a system which recognizes the piece you have and discounts accordingly for the percentage of the cost of that item? Not the full value likely paid, but it's worth as a part of the given bundle. The whole concept could turn into try a piece of a bundle, and if you like the rest you can upgrade later.

They won't do it. I'd bet 100 dollars cause I'm that sure of myself based on past experience. I've been playing since beta and nerfing and TRIBBLE us over is second only to taking our money. The dev's don't care anymore I don't think, otherwise one of them would take 10 minutes to post on the forums that they are working or not working on this issue, but they have remained silent and evasive. They put out articles on arc about how they support us and all that stuff. if they support us, then they would fix problems like this.
The ship designer took time to write his little article on the concept art behind the t6 jem'hadar strike ship. and even took the time to post concept art. he talked about how he knew how much we love the bug ship. why wasn't that time spent on writing up the description for the bridges on the store? we love the intrepid bridge, where is it? where is our little article and pictures of their upcoming release on the store? Where is the Producer's letter of explanation and sympathetic response to those of us that have supported this game since day one and got jacked over by this scam. Why isn't it written and posted? Because he doesn't care. I know this because every time they have done something that they cared what we thought, they took time to address us. They did it with the klink race, PVP, and other things. I'd probably drop dead of a heart attack if I logged onto these forums or the launcher and saw the EP taking the time to write a paragraph or two to us about this. I'd even go back to church every sunday. I expect to see the lord float down on a cloud to save us all before I'd see an apology from Cryptic.
Yeah, the intrepid interiors are a big potential seller. I've listened to tons of ppl in game and in the forums say they'd pay 20 dollars for the bridges or per bridge. It seems that making money off them was not their intention. They said last year was their best year. I guess they feel they can stop making as much money this year cause they must have made too much last year. This reminds me a story my father told me about Coke-a-cola. Coke got a new CEO that decided to change the recipe for coke and call it "new coke." it was one of the biggest business blunders of the century. that's why there was coke classic. they made the old coke recipe available for ppl that didn't like the new motor oil-in-a-can. I mean how can some guy that's supposed to be smart and educated in business practice work his way to CEO and make such a ignorant decision. The management must have been just as ignorant to go along with it. Seems that way with alot of companies. You have to have zero common sense in order to qualify for the CEO position.
I hope a dev or PWE/Cryptic employee reads this and and shows their coworkers what fools they are acting by not acting on this. I hope it makes them angry that someone wrote something not nice about their company, because I have been angry for 5 years and was powerless to do anything. Our voices going unheard, posts unread, we mise well get rid of a feedback section of the forums. For 5 years I've almost always have supported cryptic but this move has got me second guessing my loyalties and all the infractions from moderators i've received for aggressively supporting them. Now I'm starting to realize what a stupid moron i've been for the past 5 years. Now I understand why ppl called me a blind fanboy. Now I probably wont vote when the elections to come to exempt myself from making a stupid vote for our next idiot president. I voted for Bush twice and see where that got us. I think supporting this MMO has made me lose a substantial amount of my IQ.
Anyways, there's weeks worth of money they could have by now from us hardcore fans buying up the bridges. And how hard is it to put them on the store? When they first released the bridge packs you see on the store, they released a pack like every month and that was starting from scratch for each set of three bridges. The intrepid bridges are finished and some ppl already have them. it'd probably take less then 2 or 3 hours to add them to the store. they could copy and paste the descriptions and screenshots too. But don't ever expect to see them unless you get invited to a player's bridge that has them. I'll give you the best advice you can get for this game, for free: Forget about the bridges, you're not gonna get them, ever. Lookout for new content in the future and make sure you grab it. And buy lottery tickets everyday from now on. You'll win the twenty million dollar lottery before you get those interiors!
I bought the Intrepid-R long before canon Voyager interiors were a possibility, and so this has automatically locked me out of getting any other LRSV version with said interior.
Cryptic/PWE, please let me support you by allowing us Intepid-R owners buy the interiors too. I don't mind forking out extra even if I have to pay full price for the entire Intrepid bundle.
I see you were with 1/22, I myself was with Triple Deuce. Deeds Not Words!
They make a wondrous mess of things. Brave amateurs, they do their part.
