I'm a "whale." I probably would have bought the legendary bundle. But not like this...

How - HOW - does a Legendary bundle that at least leans Klingon not include the D7 and the Negh'var? How is that even possible? What's more:
2 100% Off T6 Ship Coupons
The Ability to Fly Ships of Any Faction, Unlocked Across Your Entire Account
6 Ship Slots
6 Experimental Upgrade Tokens
11 Ultimate Tech Upgrades
11 Master Keys
11 R&D Promotional Ship Crafting Packs
Are just trash to pad the price. TRASH TO PAD THE PRICE. I cannot BELIEVE I've spent months looking forward to this (and other people have, really, spent years), only to have you trip over your own feet and stumble at the finish line. There isn't a chance in HELL that I would spend $250 for four ships plus fluff (even if I like those four ships, respectively, and would desperately like to have an Excelsior that doesn't suck).
For shame.

Get the Kor. I think you can get it in the starter pack for 2000 zen. Thats how I got mine.
It's the price I cannot wrap my head around. The Fed bundle was, what, 10 ships for $250? That's a big chunk of change for most people (ESPECIALLY in the middle of a pandemic. Look, I know that Cryptic has employees with mouths to feed, too, but there's a difference between 'value' and 'gouging'), but a lot of us bought it because we saw some value in the deal. Plus, it had some BIG HITTERS that people really lust after, like the legendary Connie and legendary Defiant, etc.
But this? This is a freaking wasteland by comparison. This is like future "Nevada waterfront property" from 1978's Superman, except there isn't going to be any earthquake. I'm not buying a parcel of nothing, Cryptic, and most people aren't, either.
1: I absolutely would have bought a KDF legendary bundle like the Fed bundle.
2: I absolutely won't be buying this bundle.

Good luck! Expect that to happen the same time we get a T6 Nova and the old Klingon War episodes returned.
The bundle isn't inspiring nor very tempting & if this is ends-up being Cryptic's attempt at an equivalent Klingon Legend Bundle then it's a failure & disappointing, but great trolling of any Klingon enthusiast player(s).
Is this what Legend bundles have been diluted to now needing to include ship coupons, while good upon their own, for other older non-Legend already in-game ships?
"Command Any Ship" has already debuted & more than likely will be had by players when this releases so mostly worthless addition.
The (6) ship slots & X-Upgrades makes me think there might be (2) more undisclosed ships to this bundles' roster, maybe???
(11) Ultimate Upgrades is decent & the Keys should be thought of as little value like adding (44) Lobi & (11) Salvaged Technology bits lol.
Was the Gre'thor Targ the earnable combat pet or the other from the C-Store that had an inflated price compared to other combat pets?
The Holo-Worf is good but that really depends upon the traits, & I'm sure the Boreth Monk robes will look cool.
The Vo'n'talk class visual is decent I guess but that reception is always subjective. The ship's shields are less than a fleet B'rel lol, not even Improved Raider Flanking, & the only newness is the Deadly Appearances trait which does read as good potential. The included consoles seem like a good complimentary too: click the induction coils, use the sub-jumper followed by the shield destab, then mop up firing the quantum warheads along with your other weapons for the kill(s). Again, nothing stands above, even slightly, per stats compared between the fleet B'rel, D4X, & fleet M'Chla.
So far based upon this, a no buy, easy decision. But then again I'm not a "whale" by any stretch of the imagination.

Kael confirmed over on Reddit that there will be no KDF bundle - this is it.
The D7 will likely be in it's own pack because you know they will milk the hell out of pack with the most iconic Klingon ship bar none.
> Like I've said in other places, I think this pack is destined for the dumpster and will be their de-facto excuse for the future when asked why they don't make more Klingon ships. (Point to this pack and mention how horrible of a seller it was)

Year of klingon gave me everything I need to move completely fed side. While KDF got some nice upgrades to character models and other stuff you know fed is going to get even better upgrades.
There is zero reason to play kdf now that any advantage they had(cheap traits and consoles) is gone while feds maintain their advantage(dev attention).
The problem with this pack - other than the price itself - is that it feels like it's designed for people who are new to the game. I don't know any long-time player who wants the stuff other than the ships; most of us have all the slots we need; we buy T6 ships from the store during zen sales; we have all our BOFFs already (and don't really feel like jumping through hoops to set up holographic versions [cool as the Worf one may be]).
Ultimately, if you don't need something in a bundle, that item has zero value - you're paying for an object that you don't want. Many of us might have spent, say, $120 to get the four ships because they're unique (especially the Excelsior, since the current T6 is such hot garbage)... but almost nobody I've spoken to is willing to pay a $70-80 up-charge for the 'extras' that they padded this bundle out with.
It's designed as a pure money grab. I don't see why a new player wants all this gamble stuff. Actually I think they were to lazy to figure something else out and wanted to make it look like it worth more then what is actually in the package.
The Devs went a inch with the Klingons and act like they went a mile
This is all the final excuse they need to basically develop Feds only...and we know they have a laundry list of back items
Discovery Enterprise uniform, Discovery 32nd century uniform, Admiral Picard uniform, and Lower Decks uniform
The California class and 32nd Century ships
More legendary ships, ship of the line bundles, and never before T6 ships
Yeah....hey have tons of exclusive Fed content to work on and I'm sure more they can create themselves, once this farce of "The year of the Klingon" is over it would be Year of the Fed just like every other year in the game.
I don't feel the whole 'Fed vs. KDF' thing the way a lot of other players do - especially now that the wall has fallen, and we can fly everything. To me, cool Star Trek ships are just cool Star Trek ships - if a ship is iconic, I want it to be made into a legendary, and I want it in my collection.
Make no mistake, I want these four ships. But I won't pay this for them, because the frills are just obnoxious. And - AND - I am as disappointed as anyone about what isn't in the bundle: the D7, the Negh'var, and potentially the Bortasqu. How are we ever going to get the legendary versions of the latter two (I still expect the D7 as a standalone) if not in this pack?

Am I missing something obvious or are people just too fast to rage to read everything.
> Hmm am I reading the same Announcement as the rest here as the announcement I read said there will be ships starting with the B'Rel and releasing info in the coming weeks what else is included.

There's another photo from the launcher that reveals the other 3 ships.
This too.
The problem is, it probably won't. I don't want to play EVE Online, but one of the systems I desperately miss from that game is the elected community representatives, and how they were able to interact with the development team in a very public way.
STO, sadly, feels much more like World of Warcraft in this respect - we stand in the streets and shout up at balconies with shuttered doors, never knowing if the people inside are listening, let alone there.
Welcome to the so-called year of the Klingon
