    It would honestly make a lot of sense for them to put the base 300 dollar bundle of Anniversary ships in the store permanently.

    They're still operating under the mistaken assumption that everyone can afford to drop 450 at a moment's notice on a bundle that isn't a permanent part of the store.....

    It's not even that: the bundle has disappeared from the store earlier than the announced deadline.

    Indeed. It's still showing up on PS4 for me, but the tab for the bundle says "This item cannot be purchased on this character." on an Andorian....

    i saw the bundle today...i wont buy it though...

    I would if I had the funds, but honestly, I just think they should make the base bundle one of the Expansion Bundle sets, as a permanent addition.

    And Sigourney Weaver when she was still young, hot, and reasonably sane, before she got old and went "Coo-Coo for Cocopuffs".

    Frankly, I'm glad that I have no idea what you are referring to in regards to Ms. Weaver? My suggestion is to try meditation for at least one hour daily.

    Um,. it does say the only series to "star" such a character... which I think refers to main characters only. All of those mentioned (with the possible exception of the ones from Discovery as I have not watched it) were guest appearances.
    There is a verb for that, it's guest starring.

    Of course, it's meant to refer to "starring as a main character", but this is a poorly written line, especially with Discovery still on-going, with both Captain Georgiou introduced as the main captain (for only the first 2 episodes, yes, but still the main one nonetheless) and the Emperor getting her own spin-off.

    I like this kind of stuff, but I hope they will fix the info on the Enterprise-D.

    It currently states that it is the fourth ship to bear the name Enterprise along with the 1701 number.

    It is the 5th. Not sure if someone is conflating Enterprise and Enterprise-A.
  • crypticarmsmancrypticarmsman Member Posts: 4,101 Arc User
    OMO - They're MISSING a major version of the Enterprise - namely, the TMP Refit version/1701-A.

    Funny thing is, I'm not even a fan of the ship design - I (as an old TOS fan) prefer the original 'Starship Class' - that became the Constitution Class once the Franz Joseph Star Trek Technical Manual hit the shelves circa 1975.

    The above said, it was the hero ship of 5 main TOS feature films (and it did appear in all 6 TOS feature films); and without the financial success of gthe first 4 TO feature films, TNG would never have been greenlit for television.

    So yeah, given all the media history presented for each ship (IMO) it has more of a right/need to be there then teh TNG era Soveriegn Class 1701-E who only appeared in 3 films total; and the last TNG film - Star Trek: Nemesis performed so poorly (it was beaten in its opening weekend by the Jennifer Lopez rom com "Maid In Manhattan"; and pretty much put this final nail in the Star Trek feature film franchise. (If JJ Abrams hadn't come along with a unique pitch, the Star Trek feature film franchise might still be dead - and yes, while Star Trek Beyond did underperform, it wasn't the outright bomb that was Star Trek: Nemesis.)

    And in fairness as a TOS fan, let me state I myself still loath "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier"; and can't bring myself to ever watch it again; the TNP refit 1701/1701-A was in 5 major films that were all very successful; and front and center in what many fans consider to be the best Star Trek film of either the TOS or TNG eras and that's "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"; yet it's MISSING from STO's fleet museum; and there's barely any mention of the TOS feature films.

    Hopefully this will be fixedfixed for next year's "Star Trek Day"...? ;)

    I really only want the Defiant and ONE of the Connies. And a tier 6 version of the Constellation because that Picard bundle was a sham.

    I was surprised and impressed that the first thing upon arriving on the Sol map was President Okeg. I mean, I've known of him as part of the game lore. And in the game trailers. Just not seen him inside of the game. A nice enough intro.

    He's actually in one of the Temporal War mission arcs, taking part in a conference with D'tan and J'mpok. And he appears during the First Contact Day event.

    Oh, and having the 20% Sale apply to Mudd's Market is a joke. It is pretty clear now that something that may have once started off as a supposed 'joke' has now settled in to a year round fleece market. We see no 80% off Sales anymore. Limited time availibility items make QVC 'Today Only' pricing seem tame in comparison.

    Yeah, i dunno whats up with that, i'm waiting for a real sale on that thing for months!, also never did the double event points on the featured TFO again, to recover from lost time in the events (work and RL stuff) when you cannot play from time to time..

    You could sort of argue that Georgiou was starting in season 2 of DSC (though she was an unranked S31 agent and technically the mirror universe version), since Star Trek series never had just one "star".

    That said the only clear and obvious Starring Female Captain would be Janeway.

    But in that case, was she a captain?

    Well that depends on what you want to count since mirror Georgiou had the cover identity of her prime universe version who was KIA while at the rank of captain but agent Georgiou had no official rank within Starfleet (since officially she didn't exist), so it's complicated.
