I just had the image of a TOS Constitution flying into the thick of it with a couple squadrons of Class F shuttles at its side.
I like the lore justification as well. We've got an empty space frame here. Let's put all the modern tech inside that it can handle.
Oh, there's an error in the blog. The headings for the 26th Century Dreadnoughts and 23rd Century Starships are flipped.
However... New pets and lazors?!? *giggidy*

the T6 TOS Connie, but it's still not a thing to do, especially since it's not mentioned you can't mix parts.
Also, @baddmoonrizin, are those ships true Miracle Worker ships that include the Cyclical Quantum Slipstream Drive as well?
Same here, I don't support exploitative gambling sales tactics.
'What ship is that, son?'
'It is a Miracle Worker Flight Deck Crusier. There are only twelve like her in the Fleet!'
About the flipping of descriptions in the Announcement Blog. It wouldn't be a true Announcement Blog without one.

'Captain, there are three Klingon Battlecrusiers on an intercept course!!'

I got home from work today after being unable to stop talking about the new D7 to read the post that this is a fracking R&D reward ship..... WTF
The rage..... The insult....
Considering that the last roll out of a constitution and D7 was the Temporal versions which go on the exchange for over 1billion because they too are R&D roll rewards, I thought this time they would be if not Zen ships which I would be happy to pay full price for, would be lobi ships.
I can't begin to explain how angry I am with this news today.
It got on the exchange after it was acquired by the gambling mechanic, so still supporting gambling.

Then don't gamble, get the EC and buy it off the Exchange.

Oh well, can't really say I'm surprised or that I didn't see it coming a mile away... it is the ever-popular Constitution, after all.

just couldnt resist that blatant cash grab could ye? not even once?
It is not even a question if the price will go over 1B EC. IMO no ship is worth that much for a character unlock.
Nope, i won't participate.

Hmmm...disappointing to say the least. Does this extend to the D-7 as well? Or can we expect an art pass on the previously available versions of the legendary Klingon Battlecruisers? They haven't seen any love since...game launch.
That said, I have zero interest in going for these ships, as like all things lockbox/lobi/R&D promo, they will be a single character unlock. Until the day comes that these items unlock for the entire account, I will simply not bother with even thinking about these types of promotions. If they were account wide, yeah, I'd probably buy some R&D packs, or keys for the lockbox/lobi ships. But in this kind of scenario, no.
And while possible that you can buy these ships off the exchange, if no one buys packs, or WINS one of these ships if they they do buy packs, buying them off the exchange isn't possible. So, I will thank the folks who sink the obvious thousands of dollars (combined, not individually) into gambling for these types of ships and who sell their excess to others on the exchange.
I for one await a CStore version that unlocks account wide (which will likely never happen) before I'll consider spending any resources, be it time, in-game currencies or real money, for them.
Losing faith in humanity, one person at a time.
Patience is a Virtue.

Well said.
Go yell at CBS (Rights Holders) and Cryptic/Perfect World (Greed). Also welcome to modern MMOs.
Cryptic, would you actulaly like me to spend actual Money? It's Simple:
Well.... that's unfortunate.
