but I more liked the mirror legendary ship.
The additional 6k Zen is from level-up token, but STO does not need such items, the standard progress is fast, and once you hit level 11 (if I remember correctly) you get acces to DOFF system, and don't need to do actual episodes for XP.
Add to it XP bonuses, and even without trying, you can level up any toon pretty fast, without any level-up token.
For now I will not buy it, because I'm saving for Fed legendary bundle (that 10 ships) - hopefully I will have enough Zen on next anniversary
But if someone wants it, then more power to them, and hopefully - more fun too.
Edit:
No, the cost of 10-ship legendary Fed bundles is 30k / 45k Zen without any discounts, up to now max discount on them was 35% - so 19,5k / 29,3k Zen
The boffs are quite cool, though substantially less so if they only available on a single character.
Yeah, that's not cool, Cryptic.
Still practically nothing for the Year of the Klingon though. :P
6k with the introductory discount, which is much more reasonable imo for a ship and a boost.
There's a T6 version in the Lobi store already.
When I see how this is phrased: '12,000 Zen, with an introductory offer of 50% off' . . . or 6,000 Zen for this bundle. Would that be a correct reading? That would effectively be $60 for the ship and bundle (for 8 days).
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
-put one thing that did require a significant amount of work and time to be done
-hugely inflate the price by adding a lot useless or barely important virtual consumables that just required a few code lines.
At the very VERY least, this bundle at least have 6 Boffs that could only be obtained via a convention. Still not worth the default price... even the discounted price for that matter.
Also, I see the T6 version is still using the "bridge below the saucer" layout with the addition of the "deflector not surrounded by armored sides" at the top.
So while the original version already made evasive maneuvers incredibly dangerous for the bridge (as the show displayed when the Battle of the Binary Stars started), the T6 version now fully exposes the navigational deflector as well. Either lose the bridge or be unable to go to warp without being torn apart by space debris or use deflector abilities.
Oh and happy continuing Year of the Klingon!
Here's the Legendary version of the ship whose science officer killed T'Kuvma, unifier of the Great Houses, complete with the holographic version of the crew that destroyed his Flagship and then stopped the Empire from winning the war.
The ship itself seems fairly good, and I'm sure its a strong ship that will perform well. And, other than the nacelles, I think the Shenzou looks pretty good.
But why is this a legendary ship before the Excelsior? And yes, where is anything for the KDF wallet at this point?
Also, it's disappointing that the Walker gets the legendary treatment, but the Excelsior is left to languish. The Excelsior is much more of a staple ship, and has appeared on screen in TV and movies across the franchise. IMO it's more deserving of a legendary conversion than the Walker is.
Those aren't account unlocked though, which reduces their value.
While yes, Jem'Hadar characters do start with some specializations already fulled out and cannot be reskilled, this whole sentence make it seems like a Jem'Hadar cannot reskill at all, change its trait or equip any other gear than what it already comes with.
Which is incredibly misleading, especially for new players that may be thinking of starting one such character.
Really, this is getting ridiculous on an entire new level now.
Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
- quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;
Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.
That's a shame, I thought we'd moved away from character unlocks of stuff.
I agree with the people saying they seriously overvalue the level skips, leveling is so straight forward and it doesn't take long to get a character equipped with decent gear really either.
I never really get if these are for new or long time players as they often seem to contain a load of stuff long time players will have, but a high price for people just getting started.
If you like Disco it's not too bad I guess.
Leveling a character from 0 to 65 is nothing compared to the rest of progression curve awaiting you at end game. I mean all is just getting started there.
Will his spec trees be filled? His doff, admiralty and crafting systems maxed? Will he have an all epic space build and will all his reputations be done?
To be honest we are talkin 12k zen and I don’t see anything offered here for it.

Agreeing on that and it feels greedy, as is the Romulan pack for example and a few others along the way. I dont underestimate their intelligence so I am sure they would know it would spring mixed or mostly negative reactions. I think they still done it cause maybe PWE pressures them for profit. If the final price would be 6k and not the discounted then it would be more fair. That and they keep not releasing KDF ships other than the support carrier.
Again I dont think we are the target of this pack. They are more likely to convince new players with it that arent aware of the values of things on STO. I generally like the idea of packs(for all playable factions) but I think lately their pricing is very off. Not long ago the bundles in general were typically the best deals to get something. You paid a chunk upfront but the value-for-money was great. I cant say the same for most recent ones
I agree I think the price is steep for what it is offering, but as long as enough players buy it Cryptic will keep offering packs like this.
Usually my top 2 of reasons for not buying is Cryptic has ceased offering scaling discounts for already owning part of a pack & it just bugs me to buy the same thing twice.
The 5 Enhanced Upgrades should be Ultimate Upgrades at this price.
The 250k dilithium Reputation vouchers seem nice.
The 5 Specialization Qualifications seem nice too.
The Very Rare Mk XIV gear would be nice if it wasn't pre-selected as of what type, if I remember correctly.
Besides the ship, the 6 Photonic BOFFs seem cool & the best part, just not paying that price.
Slightly better/aggressive stats overall compared to the plain-Jane Walker & the new Shenzou-skin does look good imo.
Absortive Plating (+Physical and Kinetic Damage Res)
Enhanced Weapon Banks (+Critical Severity)
Enhanced Plating (+Energy Damage Resistance)
Armored Hull (+Max Hull Capacity)
Vulcan Hello (Starship Trait)
NEW:Time of Need (Account Unlocked Starship Trait)
By the way the ship has 2 traits like all Legendaries and does that:
while this trait is slotted, you'll have increased incoming healing based on the amount of health you've lost, and any Bridge Officer abilities that heal you also grant damage resistance.
So my guess is Cryptic pictured it more as a tanking ship?
PWE and any "landlord" company wouldnt ask specific to place a ship in a pack for a specific amount of money but they can and probably do ask for certain amount of Profits placing pressure to find ways to increase their overall income. I also agree that if enough people buy it at this price we will see more and more at this price in the future. Feels like that price range is becoming quite common
I see, visually the ship, especially on the original skin seems decent. I dont have a lot of Fed ships since I only got 3 Federation toons but if it wasnt so pricey maybe I would consider it as I like tanking ships
