Same. £100 ish is a lot. I already got LTS month ago. plus spent bunch on ship packs. Still least they added another 2 more ships. Galor is awsome for when I make that Cardie down the line. But until they add the Cardassian Union uniforms I won't be tempted.... well almost.... either that or there is a discount on release.

I got LTS about 6 months ago, I don't regret it at all, and also buy a lot of ships, it's too much to pay upfront for this pack, I can pay for all, but one at a time..
Please add Cardassian armor in this bundle, please.
T6 is lockbox. They are only adding the depreciated T5s to the package. Which is why I think they shouldnt of held back on the T6 and not list any of the T5s. Then announce the T5s as a perk/bonus.
I'm also of the opinion this was already planned, and is a marketing stunt.
> looks like the galor is pre order only hmmm.
Why?
This slightly confusing statement: (emphasis mine)
I see. Then they need to change the wording lol
@ambassadorkael can we please get clarification? Are these two additional ships permanently added to the Vanguard pack, or will they only be bonus add-on's for those who pre-order the pack? And if the latter, any telling on when the "pre-order bonus" will end?
I plan on buying the Vangaurd Pack, I just prefer to wait until May 25th. I might be able to grab it sooner if I had to, but I'd rather wait.
Edit:
Looks like Kael answered while I was typing my message:

Really curious about if the t5 ships will be available outside the vanguard pack though. It's great to see them added back into the game outside of lockboxes, but if they're exclusive to the vanguard pack that would be quite a paywall.
There is no change at all. You have them as one off ships from a lock box. This does not change at all. You only get the account unlocks if you buy this pack. Lock box ships are all 1 off ships. If you have the old Dom T5 boxes... unload now or watch the value plummet even further.
Thanks @terranempire. Apparently he answered while I was typing my message (I got interrupted and it took me a while to get back and finish typing, lol). I have edited my post. Excellent news. I look forward to getting my pack at the end of the month. Yay!

thats all nice and good but what Point is the Carriers if you cannot use the frigate hangar pets on them ?
there is no jem hadar attack ship tier 5 nor any other attack ship that unlocks the frigate hangar pets so why should people buy this to only get half the ships ?
I Think cryptic can get aloot more customers especially old ones like me if they aktually put some effort and give us the frigate unlocks on this pack i mean 125 euro or 145 euro depending on your Place of purchases and STILL no frigate hangar pets..........
Sry cryptic but im not buying this untill the frigate hangars unlock are in the pack as well.
I've made some Vorta boffs in the alien creator that look really good so it's not a too big of a deal for me.
I cant imagine it wouldn't unlock them but I don't have a good imagination sometimes.
Noticing a lot of comments about the carrier. Both T5 jem ships in the pack have hangars already. However, I really like that there are a number of jem ships with hangars. Going into a STF with four other dreadnought/carriers with loads of JHAS hangars* flying about would really feel like a unique experience. Almost if we are the ones coming out of the wormhole to invade DS9.
*unlocks for them aren't too hard to get now with the phoenix pack.
Agreed. I bought a T5 lobi store dreadnought that is included in this pack and also have no problem that it is included. Now if they were doing a freebie giveaway of these ships I wouldn't like it but this is a good call.
Based on their track record, I don't doubt that they would actually do this, but do you have an actual source? Would having this break buying the pack in some way? Is it confirmed that this "new" Galor will unlike the spiral disruptors?
Plenty of questions that I have seen asked but not yet answered by actual Cryptic/PWE.
I'm pretty sure they're just pushing you to pre-order. The Galor should be included if you purchase the pack later. I'm saving up, so that's what I'll have to do is get it after the release.
Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.
