It was requested in the Ten Forward stream that I give a list of other ships besides the Mars Class that should also be able to equip the Piloting modification set. I have noticed a distinct lack of mentioning the fix to the Mars Class Pilot Escort being able to equip the Pilot Consoles in the Patch notes despite it being said on stream that it had been fixed already. And with the patch launching, it turns out that the Mars STILL CAN'T equip the pilot consoles. I feel like I was straight lied to on the stream at this point considering it was said that they had actually already fixed the problem.

Legendary JH Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship has the escort package and thus should be able to equip the pilot consoles.

Risian Pilot corvette has the escort package and thus should be able to equip the pilot consoles.

Legendary Defiant Pilot Warship ??? Destroyer mastery package, but all its other family are escorts, so there is an argument to be made for this ship having access to the consoles as this is also a legendary ship, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be able to equip them as one would think a legendary ship with pilot maneuvers would be able to equip pilot consoles.

It's a little disappointing that the Aquarius doesn't get a Mirror skin but that's really my only complaint about this bundle.
It's great to see the Styx being added to the pack too - I just wish I could afford it...

"Any Pilot Escort" is very misleading in the tooltip, but to me it means the Mercury, Icarus or Ajax classes only.
Similar to how "Any Pilot Raptor" and "Any Pilor Warbird" means only the 3 KDF and 3 RRF ships respectively.
It's disappointing for sure, but tooltips like these need clarification/rewording.

This is just a joke right?
Teran ships again? For years, only the Federation or their Terran clones have been running.
Klingon recruitment starts today, I naively hoped that the Klingons would get something too, but nothing....
This pack is as exciting as a dancing orion girl to spock! I skip it...

I have to agree with throst here.
This is the 2nd anniversary pack in a row that features only terran ships, and they are not even legendary.
I understand last year, since this was the year you did the terran arc, but I thought it's over now, and I was expecting something new.
Klingons got very little from anniversary packs so far (2 ships at 11th) and Romulans an Jem'Hadar still got nothing.
I'll pass on this one.
While my Creditcard thanks you for saving me 200$, I am very disappointed.

Personally, the Terran theme doesn't bother me. It's late though, a couple weeks after the games anniversary. What annoys me is the Terran skins for the ships available individually are locked behind the bundle. Keys and X-Upgrades don't add any thing to the value to this bundle for me. Even adding the Styx, I only wanted two ships. The Nebula just because and the Prometheus because I like that ship. Instead of me buying those two ships though, I am getting none because the Terran skins are only available in the bundle. All of this delayed release wait for me to be disappointed.

Wish the mirror Crossfield could have come with the 2016 teaser and planet of the Titans Enterprise concept designs. Major missed opportunity as you could have tied them together. Planet of the titans concept especially as it appears in Star Trek 3 and in an episode of TNG and DS9.

The PoT ship class is probably the base design that Starfleet used to produce the Crossfield class (and whatever the teaser ship class was, should they choose to make that one playable too), though it is so highly modified that they have little or no resemblance except for a generally similar silhouette.

For one thing, the primary and secondary hulls are reversed, in the PoT ship the delta was the primary hull and the saucer was a science-oriented secondary hull (pretty much a landing-capable carried vehicle that would act as a base of operations for a planetary survey/exploration/research operation while the Delta nosed around the system or whatever).

I haven't bought the bundle ... yet. I do think (even though expensive up-front) it is a good value but Cryptic's attitude towards the force-feeding the 6 Starship Slots upon to 1 character instead of allowing players to spread them out as desired is abysmal.

Is Cryptic really expecting 1 character to pilot all 6 of these starships?

Well I was asking as it would be a nice callback even though it doesn't have the saucer separation ability. It would also make the 2016 teaser and the planet of the Titans versions different subclasses. Something fun to fly.

I have been asking for those ships too, for quite a while. It would be great if they did make them (especially if they went to the c-store instead of boxes).

And the odd arrangement of the PoT ship would not prevent the others from being descended from its design, especially the way Starfleet designs things in the show since the change from a warp-delta primary hull to an ordinary secondary hull for the spinoff designs would simply be a spoken line or two anyway.

One nice easter egg in DSC is that some of the engineering screens show the teaser ship outline instead of the Crossfield outline, which is a natural lineage hint since it could be assumed that those displays were the standard ones from the teaser ship that were probably not thought to be worth changing for the two offshoot Crossfields.

corerunner · February 2023

Shame the 2016 teaser design wasn't added to the Crossfields from the get go as it's a perfect Crossfield beta design. And they could make the POT version out of resized Discovery ship parts like the nacelles from the DSC Connie, saucer from the Gagarin saucer and the main hull a rounder version of the Crossfield hull with rounded forward edges. Though they'd have to add the saucer rings to it.
