Too bad, I'm out of Zen...
LMFAO 19k. what a farce man. i dont want nor need that whole pack. stoopid cryptic.
oh well. people will shell out the funds, so why bother selling anything separate.
You don't want it, don't buy it. I'm not. The OP wants it, though, so more power to him for getting his wish so very quickly.

Hello jonsills, Yea I kind of agree with you the cost is going to be prohibited to a few players. Still it likely is appealing to new players most cause of Account-Wide Starship Trait unlocks for characters.
Though there are things that appeal a lot to older players as well. I myself would love to have the Legendary Pack, though I will closely watch for more single Legendary ship offerings, and then evaluate what's all included...
I'm not surprised the Fed Legendary Bundle has returned.
I figured it would eventually, in some reiteration, since doing all that work requiring time & resources then only selling once made no economical sense.
I am surprised it is selling for 19.5K zen again being the original sale price, if I remember correctly, so any that desire buying it now is the time to consider it & feel lucky imo I could've seen Cryptic reasoning in raising the price a bit.
I still suspect that if this single Legendary Rom ship does well in sales Cryptic will begin this a la carte boutique, Star Citizen envy, pricing for future Legendary offerings so that's a shame.
I'd absolutely be in the market for the Temporal Escort due to an ongoing IC redemption arc...if it was by itself and 3000 C. I missed the inaugural round, and expected maybe for things to be spaced out a bit...hopefully tempered expectations will be proven hasty, hmm?
I have to say, interesting timing...... its almost as if they're not entirely confident the Romulan pack will sell well...
If they had bothered to combine it with a legendary Klingon BoP it would have had a far stronger starting point.
For me, i already have the T'varo "3-piece" and the trait is not enough of a bonus to consider buying what is essentially a time saving pack on a new romulan character.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

I suspect the quality pass Klingon BoP might appear in a legendary pack with the quality pass K'tinga.
I agree, but i think it is a miscalculation on cryptic's part to push these two packs separately.
Together they may stand, but divided they will most likely fall.

The cost of the Legendary Bundle isn't bad at all, considering what it'd cost to get all the individual items on their own. Plus it comes with new stuff too.
It's out of my price range, personally. But it's still good value if you do want all the ships.
I do really hope they end up selling the ships individually at some point. Really looking at my playstyle, I only really want less than half of the ships in the bundle. But I'll wait to see if that ever happens. I'm not in any rush, got plenty to play with as it is.

I completely agree with tandeming this T'liss with a KDF BoP. That would've made it a much stronger consideration & placed it closer in par to the Fed Legend ship bundle pricing. However, during that last Ten Forward Weekly (10FW) live stream one of them, I think that Jeremy, had stated they're purposely waiting for the possible KDF Legend ship/bundle till closer to the end of the Year of the Klingon segment so that sort of makes sense to me. Whether true or not who knows.

and thats the rub. if, and only if, one is to use all more most of the ships in any fashion it may be a worth while buy. but as you mention and many others have, offering single buys is more practical for many people.
i mean hell, people understand the cost per argument, but it falls flat when you only want one or two of them.
akin to needing or wanting a certain tool. you find it with a bundle of other tools (you darn well know you wont use) for 100, but you also can get it as a single buy for 20. ok, 10 is better than 20, but you are really wasting 90 since you know you will never use the other tools.
Look, I get your point...the ONLY ship I am interested in that bundle is the defiant. Not even one of the "high ticket" items in that bundle. I certainly am not gonna spend 200 bucks on nose arts and better stats for my defiant. But basically what that costs covers is the two big ticket items in that pack of the ToS and the Michael Burnham show connies. EVERYTHING else is just frosting on the cake so to speak.
Yeah; I can actually understand if they decided to keep the lockbox/promo type ships exclusive to the bundle (although the legendary BOP already breaks that logic), but IMHO the "regular" type ships (Galaxy, Defiant, Intrepid, Sovereign, etc) should be sold individually.
And I say this as someone who bought the bundle and has no personal interest in buying them individually.
It’s on sale for this weekend. I picked one up on Friday. Lock box and promo ships that are account wide, and the sale price makes every ship below 20 dollars. With all the traits and consoles, makes this bundle an absolute steal. Hope you’re able to pick one up before they’re gone again!

"IF" one buys the legendary pack, are all the ships locked upon pickup of the pack? can you take the one you want and sell the rest? im a bit confused to this aspect since some ships and packs seem to be bind on pick up and some not. some seem to be bound to toon, but then if you open or make a choice it becomes unbound...so are all the ships in the legendary bind on pickup or bound upon purchase or what?
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

stupid question, really cuz i dont want to log in to look at the details...

The Legendary ships are C-Store ships that are account wide and cannot be sold to other players. They work exactly the same as other C-Store ships. Once purchased any character on your account that meets the requirements (Federation Captain/Fed Rom that has completed the Tutorial) can claim and fly the ships. When claimed, the ship comes in a character bound box that they open to unpack their ship.
There is currently no way to offset costs of the pack if you only want one ship from the pack. This is something a lot of people want, but given the success of the bundle financially there is no chance of it ever happening. It's 'all or nothing' with this bundle.

Very interesting point, I hadn't considered that possible aspect till now. It does make a nice hedging one's bets.
