Kael did state a week or so ago that we will still see a Legendary Klingon Bundle but it would be more in line (scale) with the Legendary Romulan or Discovery packs.
My own thoughts: on a later Legendary Klingon Bundle, they may offer 1 more Klingon Ship, or perhaps even 2, with no other add-ons. Given the Legendary Romulan and Discovery Bundles, + the Legendary Anniversary had a lot of add-ons to choose from! It also be nice to see a 2 ship Legendary Bundle tried...
All we can do is wait and see, yet I suspect we won't see the Legendary Klingon Bundle, till closer toward the end of the Year of the Klingon.
Still the Anniversary Bundle offers a lot as I said above. The new and exclusive Ship skins is the big appeal for many. I suspect it will likely to be highly sought out by several players, especially with the 500 Lobi now given, and I've heard there planning a deeper Lobi sale when you can claim it.
I'm thinking that's probable as well. Cryptic seems to really be pushing this particular bundle but I'd argue not with quality-wise.
So with this last "legendary" Ambassador when compared to Fleet Yamaguchi:
lose a combined hull/shield of .10 (Yamaguchi) for a better .5 turn-rate ("legendary" Ambassador)
lose +5 pwr to engines straight-out with this "legendary" Ambassador
trade Ensign Tac seat (Yamaguchi) for a Ensign Uni seat ("legendary" Ambassador)
gain a good looking Horatio visual ("legendary" Ambassador)
gain the starship trait Lost In Time ("legendary" Ambassador)
console placement is the same for both
inertia & impulse ratings are the same
both have (4) Cruiser Commands & both have Molecular Reconstruction
"legendary" Ambassador has the Temporal Trajectory Shifter console
To me in this bundle there's a couple of prime examples of these ships being "legendary" by title only but then again Cryptic knows that's enough to sell to a certain amount of players.
With at least a couple of these ships I think you'd match statically or exceed them if a player bought fleet versions then bought the other optional ships, if not already owned, for the consoles & sometimes there's better console options pending playstyles.
Remember the primary things these ships have exclusively are the distinct visuals & starship traits then slight, if any, modifications to BOFF seating, console placement, weapon layout & statistical trade-offs.
The Temer statistically seems more of a Legendary B'rel than this "legendary B'rel"
I didn't crunch the numbers for these "legendary" Excelsior nor Vor'cha like I did this Ambassador, but I wonder if cheaper it would be just to but fleet ship versions & various ships for the consoles if not already owned or wanted?
From B'rel to Ambassador this bundle began with a whimper & ended with a whimper.
I whole-heartedly agree. The ONLY thing of interest and worth to me is the BoP, and now maybe the Ambassador (The skin is one of the best designs ever! No sign of Manga nacelles
As for the rest of the pack.....I don't place any value on the keys or Promo packs, the Ult Upgrades will just be stored, and I've already more than enough TX Upgrades for what I need. Worf obviously has value, but that is all. I'll wait for a 75% off sale.
I don't want more Fedships.
I don't want to pay for all the other junk.
I want more KDF ships.
The thing that ruins it for me is the deflector, would have looked amazing if they gave it a nice bowl shaped deflector, but instead they went with ... whatever the hell that thing is.
I Support Disco | Disco is Love | Disco is Life
The deflector is reminding me a bit of the Chimera/Manticore design.
I'll just wait for the Legendary Klingon bundle. Perhaps it'll be more appropriate for my 2255 KDF recruit. I'm really only interested in KDF ships at the moment.
It may have cleared up a lot of confusion if they had of just stated that there's a Legendary KDF bundle coming also as it is the Year of Klingon after all.
That said, if they had put the D7 in this pack I would be buying it. That single ship would have made the difference. But I guess I should be grateful they didn't, because now they will (probably) be putting it in a solo pack which won't cost as much.

Kael allegedly said on Reddit? that there was not going to be a KDF legendary bundle.
If true, that probably means there will be a $120 list D7 single ship + random junk like the legendary Romulan. Extras like a "jump a new character to level 65" token even though everyone is leveling up a KDF Recruit already. Sigh.
But this 4 pack for the same TRIBBLE price as the 8pack last year, is so not worth it. I gotta wonder what the eggheads behind this choice where honestly thinking.
I have a Klingon 2255 recruit. Since it seems this toon is going to be a keeper I'd certainly consider a bundle offering items focused on him. The recruit is not my only kdf toon and they're overdue for a treat as well. It's YoK.
I'm not mad, but am experiencing bundle induced marketing dysphoria syndrome.
the fact that is costs over £200 for recycled items on the zen store and nothing new or useful really takes the TRIBBLE... give me a token for a section 31 drone ship that you can't find on the exchange anywhere
I'm assuming the eggheads thought "everyones in lockdown seeing as we ate bats, lets rip them off because they're desperate for something to play, £200 on 4 really TRIBBLE ships and a load of recycled zen store content after giving the world covid is pretty poor business.
if i was a chinese company right now I wouldn't be trying to rip people off that have lost their jobs
Hmm ... venting you say?
I personally wouldn't care if they added a nice D7 in there, the "deal" is already broken. Excelsior isn't a ship I ever cared about, already got a regular Vorral, B'Rel, and Narendra as it looks nice, nevermind the useless other stuff.
Same with the legendary fed bundle, I never cared for Connies, and already own regular variants of most of the rest, though it's a good deal for those that don't (like new players) and if they like Connies.
