In order to help Cryptic/PWE understand the metrics that may reflect unprofitable results for the bundle I thought I would post this poll to see which of the most commonly expressed reasons that you will be giving it a pass:
If you ARE going to buy this bundle, please do not lash out at those who are not. This poll thread is not intended to start a flame war. Just as a means of providing numbers.
If you vote "Other," please post your reason

There are no T6 ships that I haven't already obtained, so those T6 coupons are useless to me.

The other items are nice enough, but overall there's nowhere near enough value for me to give it any real consideration.

*(All love for Mr. Dorn and everything he's worked so hard on, but IMO the character of Worf was written worse and worse over time, and I have no interest in a holo-BOFF of him.)

I'm only interested in two of the ships (now, was 1), and Worf.
I have plenty of TX Upgrades and don't need more.
The Ult Upgrades are okay, but I don't need any.
The Keys, The Promo-Boxes and the Lobi are utterly worthless to me nowadays since they have started going with account-unlocked stuff. (Yes, yes, I know I could get EC, but it's of extremely limited value to me after 10 years of playing).
The rest is just pointless trash I have zero interest in.
Cryptic have completely over-estimated the value of the package to the player. They've taken an arbitrary 'discounted' price and 'discounted' it again and then pretended it's 'value for money', just like they did with the Premium 10 Fed Ship Pack. That 'fluff' was worth 10k apparently, and it's similar with this.
What's more grating is that they can have their will bent to change stats, but won't release a ship only pack like they did with the Fed pack........and not only that.....they did this with full knowledge that they'd get this reaction, as evident from the prior backlashes.
EDIT: I should add that I have nearly all variants of the ships, except the Excelsior, so the value for money of the pack is even less to me.
Primarily Im not buying this due to the number of items in it that I do not care for that make the bundle bloated and way too expensive.
Additionally I suspect the price might be too high even if there was just a ships version and only two of the four currently interest me being the excelsior and perhaps the Vor'cha.
As such this makes the bundle very unappealing and as much as im not one to chase after numbers there are better ships with the same playstyles for cheaper than these will be.
I'm only really interested in a two of the ships -notably the Excelsior and Vor'cha. I would be interested in the B'rel if it wasn't terrible, but alas it's doa with that weapon load out. Other then the ships the rest of the stuff is just overpriced junk to inflate the price.
Very old bugs constantly destroy my everyday sto experience, okey i understand my ships sometimes spit off stuff into my inventory, i understand that my traits get unslotted for no reason at all BUT WHY THE SHIP LOADING ALSO FORGET THE TRAITS I HAVE SAVED!!!SAVED!!!SAVED!!!SAVED!! ONTOP OF IT ALL ??
To be honest, i have come to the conclusion that this is intentional, or if it is not intentional then whatever is saved can be unsaved and lost forever, so good luck injecting money on that.
Imagine if you had a game when you click "save" then you click "load" oh sorry, what you saved cannot be loaded because its lost.
These bugs are not intentional, no bugs ever are unless someone is up to no good. The issues you describe are most likely related to the Account server not correctly updating your account with the changes. It's one bug that unfortunately affects a number of UI systems.
If someone tries to get aggressive over this... please try and put a lid on it or report.
Keeping it CIVIL.
One word: BUGS.
Ever since they introduced the event patch this MMO has been with bugs. For some like me it is a major turn off when they can't even FIX things like DOFF donation to fleet projects, broken dilithium bonus or the errors in the KDF recruitment system.
I'm not paying for something broken. Just IMO

- It should have been a Klingon bundle, (smaller than last year's, but still Klingon);
- The price they ask is completely insane;
- There's not "just the ships" version of the bundle;
- This whole ordeal is a joke.
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.
I am interested in the Vorcha and I can make the B'rel work even if its still less then it could have been....its pretty much all the other reasons. Some of the fluff I might actually use but a lot of it is pretty useless. I guess my issue is one most people have....perceived value.
They just sold us C-store versions of the Ambassador and Vorcha...now I got to pay much more for tweaked versions of the same ships? They just sold us Miracle worker cruisers in the last big Legendary pack...why do I need another? All of these are reworked C-store ships, not reworked promo and lockbox ships we saw in other packs. And you're gonna give me less of them?
With one hell of a Zen sale I might think about it because I am a fanboy but its a pretty terrible proposition at face value.
I have the feeling changing the b'rel to 5/1 would instantly change many people's opinion on this....they'd still hate it, but I think many would suck it up and buy it. My two cents anyway.
One last thought for Cryptic/PWE.....please take this as (mostly) well intentioned feedback. We are posting because there is demand for a good bundle. If we didn't, you'd be hearing crickets.
The point being? There is no multiple choice option.
I'll fix that then...
All of the above except for "Nothing in this bundle interests me."
That work for you?

The pricing is too high
Don't need the extra fluff
The Brel should be 5/1: It's totally inferior to the Temer
As much as the ships are decent....no D7, no dollars.
Especially at that price.
Worf is Tac of course, no space traits: Aggressive, Superior Honor, Superior Photonic Lifeform, & Warrior
