I know this was on the 2019 roadmap that finished in January 2020, but where is it? The're getting to the end of the month and still no word yet. I sure hope they weren't talking about the lock box ships.

Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
Now, for realz, the ships we've all been waiting for, probably refers to the playable Borg ship(s).
and by the myriad borg ship threads, I'd say that it was a small minority that wanted that. Cryptic needs to start listening to the players and not try to tie in on every little Star trek burble that CBS milks out. if they had done that, they could have had a LOT more time and just now be working in Disco.
This. I remember people asking for monster play or playable Borg since before season 5

The significant caveat to the above is that the Nova, Oberth and Vo'quv have been the most requested ships *on this forum*.
Most STO players do not use this forum.
Would be interesting if they did an ingame poll asking what ship people wanted the most from a selection they where willing to make. A community picked ship of sorts.
Only problem is that obviously a Fed design would get picked over a KDF/Rom/Dom ship all the time but we get more Fed releases anyway so it would be expected

I wouldn't be so sure...I don't think they made all of those shiny new skins that were shown just for free, it's a safe bet they're all part of something bigger in some kind of pack.
New skins are the sizzle and a new ship pack would be the steak...
Caveat #2 is that the requesting has been done by a very small group of people spamming over and over and over and over...

Big ship packs usually come either with expansions or the introduction of a new primary specialization, so one of those is when I'd expect to see another one

You can buy lock box, lobi and R&D pack ships from the Exchange for EC with 100% success and zero gambling.
They do cost much more than 3,000 zen though.
This really doesn't matter much, as ppl who don't visit the forum -- and I won't go so far as to say they don't care about the game at all -- at least don't care enough about their issues to post about them. So, even if it's just Reyan and a handful of other folks, still, those are the ones you want to listen to.
Also, you can't measure 'ships that do not sell', when said ships aren't in the C-Store (aka, you can't point to sales charts for the T6 Nova, when you're not offering one for sale to begin with).
So, at the end of the day, all you really have to go on, is that small group of ppl being vocal about their wishes.
That's alot of farming. Unless their is some trick to finding the magic tree that has EC on it LOL

There was a 9-ship Mega Bundle every anniversary from 2014 through 2018, so that's what they're referring to. There wasn't one tied into last year's anniversary ship, so they may indeed be a thing of the past.
Maybe if it was a bundle of 12 account unlock T6 lockbox ships, but it isn't like there is no precedent for large bundle pricing for regular faction ships. 9-ship bundles cost 12,000 Zen, so a 12-ship one would likely be no greater 15,000 Zen.
It was not to be construed as saying they won't release a large number of ships for an Expansion. Now, with that, they won't have to create T1-T5 fill in ships like the 'Agents of Yesterday' Bundle, as the T6 Ships can fill that role with their scaling.
You'll also have to temper your definition of 'Big', as the non-Expansion Bundles they have been releasing of late have been underwhelming in the number of ships contained.
The clues are there:
Scaling T6
Khitomer Alliance Joint Designs
Romulans/Jem'Hadar fly Faction including T6
Federation/KDF fly Romulan/Jem'Hadar

Can't say one way or the other until tne Anniversary hits.
The current iconic Romulan ships are already pretty high quality models. Probably could use some more polish now but still good. And I think for the most part the KDF iconics are pretty good too. The Negh'Var, Vor'cha, and K'tinga I think are decent to high quality. The only one I think hasn't had a major quality pass is the B'rel.
But again they could probably use some polish too. As of right now however, all we know is that the 4 iconic Fed ships are getting a quality pass on the models.
What I wish they would fix up is the TNG uniforms. They show their age compared to the TNG season 1 uniforms.
