We’re launching a brand new type of bundle this week to celebrate some of our favorite ships, called Ships of the Line! There are a lot of ships in the galaxy that have multiple tiers available, and we want to make it easier to get your hands on every version of your favorite starships. First up: The Akira Class! This classic ship appeared in First Contact, which we happen to be celebrating right now, so it seemed like the perfect time to feature it. The Ships of the Line: Akira Bundle will cost 6000 Zen, and will be 35% off from April 23rd at 8am PT to April 30th at 10am PT. It contains the following:
T6 Alita Class Heavy Strike Wing Escort
T5 Armitage Heavy Strike Wing Escort
T3 Thunderchild Heavy Escort Refit
1 Fleet Ship Module

I never cared much for the Alita, it seemed just another escort to me that I would only use while levelling. Until I decided to create a character that specialises in all sorts of energy torpedoes. I thought the Alita would be perfect for him.
I've really grown to like the ship since. It's a nice design and the various versions allow for a large degree of customisation.
I'm guessing the Nebula, Hestia/Prometheus or the Galaxy. They all have ships in multiple tiers. The Constitution would be too obvious for the same reason
What am I thinking? Only Fed exist in this game........
Salt aside, would be good if they do a similar Bundle for the Klingons and Roms with the BoP and maybe the D'deridex
If we're looking at tier spread... Nebula and B'Rel may be good potentials. The B'Rel moreso due to recent grapevine talk of a model update.
However, this isn't new, so I'm a little confused by them calling it a new idea. They've already given us a Galaxy and Intrepid bundle. There is a defacto Malem bundle by buying Rom starter packs. I'm not against them bundling ships together like this, but they started this a long time ago, and it offers nothing to someone who already owns these ships.
I think its geared more towards people who don't have it than people who do. On the bright side, EVERYONE gets access to the updated Akira model, and if you already own said ships in this bundle, you can use the updated model.
I'd consider the bundle, if not for the fact the ONLY ship I'm missing is the T5 Armitage. Either I'm locked out of the bundle or would be cheeper to just get the Armitage seperate anyways.
Either way doesn't bother me in the least.
Sorry, what did you say? It appears the sound of your insult didn't travel sufficiently far to clearly reach the bridge of my cruiser. Speak louder!
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.

Didn't Cryptic do a visual update on the Steamrunner a year or a couple of years ago?
I believe the extent was a more canon placement of the Impulse Engines, although release configuration is still an option.
KDF is getting a revamped B'Rel soon.
As for future ships of line:
-Great excuse to make a T6 Nova.
-Vorcha line would be a great pick for KDF. (They're a lot of fun/powerslidey to fly, very respectable combat performance, and have some pretty nice toys/trait.)
I'm glad that the cstore revamps and legendary bundle packages, ended up being a good idea to go ahead and do the same thing with other lineages. -- With updates to models and whatever else, too!
This is progress!
Given its a scaling t6 you can skin with any of the entire lineage; and you get all consoles. -- Wouldn't it be better to just do it that way and drop 1000 -1500z standard?
Whatever the case. Its a great lineage to begin doing this. I intend to buy it.
Seems that a small dot under my Universe Class is talking??
Also, i would love that they update the other Cryptic designed variants... they really look outdated when you mix and match...
KDF will get the B'Rel update soon, any news on a Romulan update - maybe the D'deridex?
Edit: Very pleased to see the QOL improvements coming into the game though.
I doubt they are going to do that.
So $60. I guess 30/25/4/1* values assigned. Doesn't seem like much of a deal like we get from other 'buy 2 get 1 free' ship bundles. Basically you get 1 ship and 2 extra skins for $60. I'd have said $40. Which is real close to their discounted price for the intro.
*Yeah, I don't count the FSM worth much anymore since you can get plenty of free ones from reps. You gonna upgrade the T5 to T5U when you got a full T6 in the bundle? Just feels like a cheap 'value add' that isn't really since, I assume, only 1 character gets it anyway.
Another difference, these 2-packs would also require a Fleet Ship Module for each ship to bring them up to the Fleet Level Quality of the Ships in the 9-pack.
