The dilex is never going to recover. You just know they will raise the cap and achieve nothing.
This is technically a 'flash' sale as it's only on for 2 days, so this wouldn't have anything to do with their financial status. This constant claim that they are in a 'poor' state isn't helpful, nor is there anything to prove it so.
For those who don't have it and are considering buying it: it's a good pack. You get a cruiser with miracle worker seating, a pilot escort, special pets and phaser weapon unlocks, a very potent science ship - and every hero ship.
On top of that, you get all of the associated ship skins, consoles and traits - and even more of most of these things than the original ships had.
I'm not sure though, I've got so many ships already. I'm afraid I'll end up not using any of them. The Legendary Ambassador and Excelsior look great though.
The first cut was with the 2nd launch of the Phoenix Pack years ago, when they sabotaged it with a simultaneous key sale. Then it was the death of a thousand cuts with sale after sale after sale over time, sometimes even throwing 3 different sales simultaneously, with nothing to act as the dilithium pressure release valve.
If Cryptic really cared about the dilex, they would've kept introducing dil sink rotations to possibly alternate between sales. While learning from what happened with Neverwinter. If the studio really cared about it, they would've paid attention, and taken appropriate measures to ensure that it was maintained at an appropriate balance. Words from them nowadays are wind, when actions are more tangible.
The Legendary Excelsior is an improvement over the Resolute, which itself is an improvement on the T5 Excelsior.
The core issue with the T5 was it was extremely Engie heavy for BOff seating. Only so much you can do with 3 ensign level Engie powers. The Resolute fixed that with hybrid Command seat so you're not locked into having 3 ensign Engie powers. I believe the Legendary has a universal slot.
The Legendary BoP isn't bad either, but there are a couple parts that don't play well with each other.

Principles are powerful things when you have them.
Of course, but that goes without saying.
It's like if the best steakhouse in your city was having a discount night and someone was like "wow that's a great deal!" and you say "NOT IF YOU DON'T LIKE STEAK IT'S NOT!".
Um, yeah. We get it. Obviously it's only a good deal if you like/want the ships. That's what @westmetals obviously means, and you know it.

They know packaged "deals" are great for them, as it pushes people into paying for things they don't actually want. Very aggressive marketing tactics that only leave a bad impression. (goes without saying I have $0 real cash to give to anything Cryptic, ever, they lost me permanently and forever years ago).

By the way, STOWIKI lists 105 Romulan Ships, etc.
