I am definitely interested but a couple of things have to happen first. A ZEN charge bonus while it is available is pretty much a given and the gold D'Kora skin has to be included to sell me on this bundle. If it includes the gold D'Kora skin, my only gripe would be not having this being a scaling bundle that gets cheaper with every item added, so I could get the 3 ships and the DS9 bridge officers account-wide in a single purchase.

Edit: To further illustrate what I mean by a scaling bundle. Hopefully this helps.

Buy 1 item: 7500 ZEN
Buy 2 items: 12500 ZEN
Buy 3 items: 15000 ZEN
Buy 4 items: 17000 ZEN
Buy 5 items: 18500 ZEN
Buy 6 items: 20000 ZEN and get a 7th item free.

These are based on the sale pricing and keeping in line with the price for 3 items.

I agree the GOLD skin would be awesome!

It is such a nice looking skin! http://airlockalpha.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/07/ferengisto.jpg

I do not like these bloated bundles.
I do not like these Mudd's Market fumbles.
I will not pay for things I do not need.
I will not feed Cryptic's growing greed.

paddy · March 2021

That sale price still seems like a lot of Zen to me. Easy pass.

questerius · March 2021

Dang i misread. Thought the bundle would be 75% off at introduction.
At that price i would have been quite interested in the Raider. Now i am having second thoughts.

tharsonius42 · March 2021

It's not a bad selection of ships. Unlike the "legendary" Klingon bundle I might actually buy that one and take the three ships. Worse ways to spend my farmed Zen. Though I agree with people saying that differnt sizes of the package should be available. Last one I didn't get because I simply didn't want all 3 ships and if you don't those packages are WAY overpriced. Do not buy this pack for anything but the ships.

I was saving my dil for the legendary kdf pack that never came and the legendary 11 pack was horrible, but at least this pack has 1 thing I actually want, so I will get this pack. This is the first mudd pack I actually wanted something from, so this is the first mudd pack I am getting.

foppotee · March 2021

The ship choices seem well enough but nothing that stands out to me for both their starship traits & consoles. I find it interesting the three ships are (1) of each: being T6 Promo, T6 Infinity, & T6 Lobi.

The (12) DS9 BOFF bundle seems like a decent variety & offering if someone doesn't already have all or some. The ones with Space Traits I think are: Bashir (Leadership & Space Warfare Specialist), Garak (Photographic Memory), Kurland (Leadership), Weyoun (Astrophysicist), Nog (Techie), & Leck (Superior Subterfuge).

The (9) Experimental Ship Upgrades, the (300) Lobi, & (10) Ultimate Tech Upgrades seem like a puny offering for this price but let whomever eat their cake & enjoy.

szerontzur · March 2021

I imagine it's going to be a relatively popular bundle:
-The JHSS has a great trait(the CRF extender) and a pretty nice console(Crit + CrtD passive; with a 95% shield hardener for 20s).
-The Maquis Raider has a high demand console and is one of the deadliest gunships in the game(one of only three 7-tac console ships, miracle worker seating, obviously, and improved/40% flanking).
-The Quark is an iconic ship that many will want for the appearance alone.

Amusing that there are no keys in this one though.

phoenixc · March 2021

It looks like a very interesting bundle, but as usual it will undoubtedly be priced for whales so I wont be able to get it.

alcyoneserene · March 2021

A lot of grind but will get 2x Ship upgrade tokens and the JHSS as the account-unlock on my fav trait booster (CRF) will make it finally possible to send the other jem'hadar ships to my Sci Vanguard toon and keep the theme. I no longer mind Sci even if Tacs are better, or splitting up char-bound ships to off-mains.

I tested the JHSS long ago on tribble and really enjoyed the way it looks and handles, even before JH styling grew on me, but could never decide between recon or strike or whether to commit unlocking it on Rom Tac main. Since the Command buffs it should be fine like this and with an X token gives it 3 Sci console slots for a bit of secondary science support powered by LtC uni and intel.

Oh, yay, another bundle with costs that far exceed the worth of the items. If you got all of them, maybe an argument could be made that the price is--almost--reasonable. Choice of three? Nope. Not even the discount price.

Gotta say, I'm getting a little sick of all the $100-$300 packs we've been getting the last year or so. I think we've had, at most, three "standard" C-store releases in that time. Not impressed, Cryptic.

salazarraze · March 2021

Oh man! An account wide JHSS and Quark Marauder? That's actually pretty TRIBBLE cool!

hmmm if they had another year end sale with all the mudd packs again... would it be cheaper then? I hardly play these days...

yeah it would be cheaper... year end sale was 75% off entire store and it included all 3 ship bundles that they had released to date.

peterconnorfirst · March 2021

All 3 ships are good this time.

The raider has a top console for exotics and is an awesome ship to fly for DEW builds.

Jhss has the #1 trait for rapid fire.

Will be a long time until we get that 75% on that pack so I surely have something to think about the next two weeks.

The price is high but it opens up some nice options for my account.

Yes, god knows you're just not powerful enough.. you should definitely drop another 124 Euro's to fix that!

You're totally going to buy it and we both know it.

Yea I kinda just needed some further justification. Thanks mate.

How about you?! Good as times as any to get into exotics.

It's going to be a pass for me.. it's not a bad deal or anything, but I am not looking to venture into the massively expensive world of Exotic Builds. If I was, I would definitely consider it for the Maquis Raider console but that rabbit hole is just too deep for me to start down.

Besides, as soon as they get all the money they will just nerf the console anyway.

I understand and respect that. I just want you to know that while exotic builds can get very expensive they do not need to be in order to reach super potent levels.

Especially considering that you should have so much of the past event stuff for it a respective build could be set up without much pain/cost.

Just saying cuz exotics are absurdly strong and the builds are worlds easier to pilot than beams and cannons.

alcyoneserene · March 2021

Better wait on a 75% off the ripoff market, even if that's a long time, since the grind for the extra amount would be just as long, and it's terrible to support bad pricing.

So, no deal, until 75% off.

If these things never go on 75% off sales, then forget it, I'll stick to single character unlocks.

Interesting.. we’ll talk later, might be time for me to change things up a bit.

My issue is that I just don’t like these bundles with their large price. I am lucky enough to be in a similar situation as you, I can afford stuff like this without any real issue it’s just a question of rather or not I should spend that much money on a single game. I’ll give it some thought and we’ll see.. right now I just have other things I can get for that money that I would probably get more use out of.

I couldn't have put it better.

peterconnorfirst · March 2021

Copy that Sea. I saw the raider yesterday for 230mil btw. If it’s just about the console for a single char 15k zen are ways too much for sure.

possum440 · March 2021

The prices this company charges is simply unbelievable. A pack like this is worth at most 15 to 30 bucks, or what would be one or two months of a regular subscription.

The amount of greed associated with Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic is amazing in a sad, out of touch with reality way.

evilmark444 · March 2021

Initially I wasn't going to get this bundle, but I've decided to go ahead and pull the trigger since an account unlock JHSS means that if they one day add Changelings as a playable species then I could recreate my current "Dominion" character with proper UI and transporter effects without losing any of the things I already have on that character. Might go ahead and create a Ferengi character as well for the Quark, probably won't use the Maquis Raider because I don't like it and also wish the obnoxious Space Tornado console didn't exist, but I'll still choose that as my third pick over the other junk.

gaevsman · March 2021

Well, thats the price, kinda, of a Legendary ship... with this i get 3 ships, not bad... i'm thinking about it..

No kidding. Even the sale price is ridiculous to me. Everything is a super pack now and it's always 200-300ish dollars.
