Yes. That's right. They're not going to show us. 🙄

The blog is supposed to come Saturday. The wait is getting to me too. I am 80% sure I wouldn’t buy this no matter what they put in it, but I need to know. They have a captive audience and they know how to build the hype.

No. I believe they said they would reveal the remaining ships in the bundle on Saturday. I think we all just assumed that to mean a Blog.
However, they HAVE said something about the stats being in this week's livestream. So I think we're getting the blog either after the livestream or tomorrow.
So, they're going to release the bundle before they give us any information about what's in it? I'm sorry but that's just stupid.
No. They already said they would announce stats during this week's livestream. The Blog will either go live around the same time as the livestream or tomorrow, while the bundle should be arriving on Thursday, alongside everything else starting on the 16th.
Releasing the specifics of a ship pack a day before it goes on sale... a pack they no doubt are going to be asking north of $100 for is a bit asinine.
I'm not saying they should be releasing full specs weeks in advance... a day before though. I mean the take away is that the specs are so terrible and the ships offer nothing more then Barbie skins. If they where fantastic you would think they would want people salivating for more then a day.

Who knows.
They might as well be awesome and therefore they decided to release the stats just before the pack can actually be bought - betting that this will increase the number of impulse purchases.
Why has AFK'ing, exploiting and pressing as few buttons as possible been normalised in this game? Is it because it's the only way for many to keep the endless FOMO inducing events bearable? Then maybe change that. Game's a joke right now, allowing exploits just to boost the precious metrics.
This forum is just as laughable, with people getting censored for repeating statements from the Devs themselves and drawing their own conclusions, regarding this exploiting.
Might return one day, once people are actually encouraged again to be present in-game and when exploiting finally gets addressed, instead of those pointing out the exploiting here getting censored and bullied into silence.
Although I am curious myself, ultimately it doesn't matter that we don't know the stats yet, right?
What's the point of knowing stuff about something that's not yet for sale anyway? Sure, knowing them might mean you get to look forward more to the release of the pack itself - but although you're missing that, you do get to look forward to the release of the stats instead. So it's not like there's less to get enthuasiastic about, ultimately there's just as much excitement or perhaps even more here.
Besides, for Cryptic it doesn't matter all that much either.
Those who would consider buying the pack are going to be around when it's released - i.e., they will be playing the game and they can make that choice then.
Those who wouldn't consider buying it because they are either casual players or not part of the customer base at all, aren't suddenly going to consider buying it based on some early stat release - heck, they might not even know or care that the pack will be there at all.

I'm disappointed in the Hestia, thought miracle worker made more sense for it rather than intel, the Promethius wasn't known for being an intelligence ship, a fast ship nor even a time based ship, it was supposed to be one of the more advanced ships of its time and miracle worker makes sense for a ship which can separate.
if it was at least full command I'd accept that. Also the removal of a back weapon in addition to another moved to the front pulls it down more for me, also won't find any use for the ltcom pilot seat.
It would've been the only one I'd be interested in but now it's just a pass for me, I'd still find a use for the original Hestia since it has command and 7 weapons.

At least the 5/1 setup was apparently a bug and it's supposed to be 5/2.

The 13th Anniversary Terran Bundle will have a base price of 17,500 Zen, but will be offered at the Discounted Price of 13,125 (25% Off!) until March 2nd. **
Seems kind of a bad deal, considering we've seen bigger discounts. It seems it's going to be a good idea to just wait until such a larger discount.

The Monitor is interesting. I might get it for my drain toon. Would be fun to drain away shields and then have 2 bays of torpedo spamming Valkyries combine with that.

i am interested in the console and trait on the hydra for my carrier
Just what the game needs ... even more VFX spam. I simply cannot wait to have the entire screen obscured by these in ground TFOs.
It's exclusive to the pack, so we may not encounter it too often. It also remains to be seen how effective it is anyway. My experience is that things that are randomly targeting enemies and which take time to chase enemies (like some of the Herald kit modules or things like Protomatter deployment) aren't too popular, except maybe when they're insanely powerful like the V'Ger probes module.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
Bundle thread is up in GNN, so OP's question is answered. /Thread

its a reasonable question 2 days tell release is cutting it super close
