    Well... we have a blog about a mission, so it may be only a matter of time.

    All we know is it will be coming out in the fall...winter doesn't start till late december...so it could be a few months till AoD is released. They only just started testing some of the features on the realm...the Discovery experience hasn't been released yet except for a single STF...so it could still be a few weeks till that...

    The stats on the Gamma ship pack were only released a few weeks before ViL...so depending on when AoD will launch...could be a while till they release a definitive list of ships and what they'll do.

    Not really. This is standard practice. We'll know soon enough.

    Now with out outrage out of the way... There will be no announcement of an AoD ship pack until after the Cryptic has officially announced the release of AoD itself. So far all we know is that it will be released this Fall.

    They've said in Livestreams that all the ships present at the Battle of the Binary Stars will be released, so that'd imply a Pack release of some kind, as that'd be a lot more ships shoved into Lockbox and Lobi store than any release besides the Infinity Lockbox has ever done.

    The main draws of Discovery/Crossfield, Walker class, and Sarcophagus are already locked into Lockbox or Lobi store, so those will likely not be included in a Pack.

    About the only thing I'd personally care about is the jet fighter looking thing Klingon side, which is later identified by a computer as a 'Klingon. Dee Seven. Battlecruiser.' when Lorca is picked up by one.

    But this isn't a traditional expansion. We were told from the beginning that it was going to be essentially a couple of seasons that, when taken together, would equate to an expansion. With the first of those seasons almost certainly being released in 2 weeks, there's no time for pre-order hype for a big pack left, so it's unlikely that there will be one. Maybe they'll break that up into smaller pieces and release them over time to go along with the way the Age of Discovery content is coming out.

    Which is exactly what I said? What I've been saying?

    I highly doubt AoD is going to be launched next week...like someone has been predicting.

    Misidentified. Stupid Federation computers. It's called the "Veq'largh" class by Eaglemoss, if it's the long boom and wings design you mean.

    You said that the stats weren't known until a couple of weeks before launch, but the existence of the pack, and most of what was in it was known about 6 weeks before launch. There hasn't even been a whisper about the existence of a pack, and we are almost certainly 2 weeks from launch.

    Infinity Lock Box means lock box change about 2 weeks later. If we get a new lock box in 2 weeks, then there's really no more room to get another one in before winter starts. Lock boxes change with major releases. We are down to blogs about episodes now, which are usually the last of the content blogs before a season or expansion launch. The first of the episode blogs for Victory is Life came out less than 3 weeks before launch, after the blogs about systems and queues, for reference.

    Well there is an Infinity going on from Thursday the 27th for two weeks, so that's until October 11th. Since Expansions and Seasons are released on Tuesdays (more time to fix up big problems before a weekend) Tuesday October 16th is looking more promising for AoD.

    We know the Malachowski class will be our starter ship. I could see the Nimitz class as a high-end vessel. Cardenas mid-range, but probable in any case due to the prominence of the USS Buran in the DSC story. Walker and Shepard would be perfect for mixing with each other.

    Yeah, not sure how a pack will sell when the main ships aren't included.
    "Give us $120 for a bunch of ships you might have seen on screen for a few seconds or maybe even minutes!"

    For me as of right now (knowing nothing of the pack :D ) it sounds like a 'wait till a pack flash sale happens' type of thing. Or maybe Black Friday's 25% off. I got a huge chunk of Zen on the Dil Exchange last time the price dropped. So I can justify spending some on the trekbomination that is Discovery w/o spending any 'real money'.

    Well, there will likely be a few fed ships, and if they want to go the "mirrored kdf versions", also KDF ships. Going by this picture...

    ... that would be six fed and five klingon ships. Guess which will be a cruiser, which will be an escort/raptor and which will be a science ship? :wink:
    7 Fed ships and 5 Klingon ships in that picture, but 2 of the Fed ships are already in the game (the Crossfield and the Walker Class). So looks like it will be 5 twin-faction packs?

    The Eaglemoss collection isn't comprehensive, there's more KDF and FED designs from Discovery (ex. Engle class (FED), Chargh class (KDF), Jach class (KDF), Sech class (KDF), and Cleave ship [would not be out of place as a promo ship]) that Cryptic can pull from. ;)

    This picture might be more complete?

    latest?cb=20180917200825&path-prefix=en

    Interesting that the Constitution and DIscovery Class really seems to be the only ones with a huge engineering section, everything else seems to follow the Constellation or Miranda archetype of design (The Shrawn might even fit the Defiant archetype.)

    The Klingon Demon, Cold Revenge, War and Destroy class seem to be relatively similar in design and I don't think I have noticed the differences in their design during the show. They also, together with the Sarcopahgus, also seem the closest in desing to the later era Klingon Cruisers.

    Though it almost seems that still some ships are missing in that picture, so I guess it's also not a complete list.
