Probably going to get the Starter Pack when it hits the C-store. Was going to try for the big pack, but that proved to be too much dil grinding even for me (and I put together some 14K zen for Black Friday last year doing exactly that). The Starter Pack at least has the super-Jem'Hadar, the uniform, and the ship I'm most interested in (I do so love Dreadnoughts these days).
If I've got enough zen put together on top of that, I might buy one or two of the other ships separately. The Vanguard Warship and Carrier both look pretty spiffy.
Pretty torn on that matter. The dominion ships look good, not a fan of the cardie ships though. But having 7 T6 and 3 T5u (previously lockbox/lobi) ships to use on all factions for that price is quite something. Objectively it beats the sh*t out of every other pack because of it's (current) price, diversity and usability.
The final verdict will have to wait till we finally get some stats but at the moment it looks like my wallet will be disemboweled in the near future.
what would be really nice is a spoonhead only pack and a dominion only pack, just charge like $50 for one and $80 for the other. Id totally have jumped on the dominion only big pack if theyd done that

Maybe that's coming in the store after ViL is out. They've done that, unanounced, with the 31st century bunch so there's kind of a precedent for that.
Waiting for it to hit Cstore and I will pick up the elite. Heck just for all the ship traits and I have nothing else to do with my dilithium except convert it to Zen....
Ive been saving my dilith for it. Im going for the big vanguard pack already have 10k zen for it after a few weeks. Pick it up when they release it into the cstore. The new Jem rep looks pretty awesome, the fact that the new ships are cross faction helps my KDF/Roms admiralty a bunch, also means the JH will get all our exsisting ship traits from our KDF/Rom/Feds to help them start.
I got the starter pack on pre-order...didnt see a need for all the card ones on the big pack....only big pack I think I would like currently is the delta pack...maybe if the sale release is forthcoming I'll get the delta one.

Yeah but I bet it wont have the t5 stuff like the pre-orders do
Yeah I got the starter set...wasn't too fussed about the card stuff but I'm a bit gutted about the new carrier being added to the big pack ....it might have made me get the big pack if I had known before I bought the starter pack...oh well....bad selling tactics cryptic....missed out on a bigger sale with me.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

I'm very much a fan of the Dominion ships, so I'll get the Starter Set for the Jem'Hadar love. I like using them on my Ferasan Captains too, so there will be an exchange of Technology between the Dominion & The Klingon Empire.
I am eyeing one of the Cardasian Ships, but not at all Interested in starting a new character from starting levels. So if they have a Token or something where you can create non-Jem'Hadar captains at end game levels, I would be inclined to make a Bajoran Engineer to put in the Cardassian Science Dreadnought. I could just as easily give that to my KDF Privateer main as spoils of war.
But yes I definitely want the Jem'Hadar starter pack.
Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

In order to best serve the Dominion, Jem’Hadar soldiers are cloned – engineered from birth to the highest standards, as dictated by the Founders. This unique process has them combat-ready within days of being birthed. To reflect this side of their biology, and to allow players to immediately start experiencing the vast amounts of high-level content currently available in Star Trek Online, Jem’Hadar characters will all start at level 60, and receive a significant jump-start on the path to their new career as a First. This includes a fully-geared starship, shuttle, and crew of Jem’Hadar, as well as pre-completed progress in Crafting, Specializations, and Reputations! All Jem’Hadar will also begin with all of their Skill Points and Traits already allocated, and a free retrain to allow for you to make your Jem’Hadar your own.
The details of each Jem’Hadar’s pre-completed progression will vary depending on the profession path chosen when creating your character – Engineering, Science, or Tactical.
Jem’Hadar characters will be available for all players to create. Because they will start at high level, new players are recommended to have completed at least the Tutorials available to other factions, to familiarize yourself with the basic controls, concepts, and components of Star Trek Online. This game has years’ worth of content and updates bundled with it, so jumping into an advanced character may be a daunting experience.
The starter pack basically awards you a Jem Hadar Captain race that has some type of SRO innate trait and a T6 dreadnought/flagship that is an account unlock on the trait. I'm glad my wallet munched that offer up, honestly.

Wise decision.
This we do gladly, for we are Jem'Hadar. Victory is Life!"
