issues with the new legendary bundle

I mean this in the nicest possible way but but the price of the bundle for what we're getting is a little ridiculous The miracle worker Boff I already have, the outfits I already have already on all the fluff in this bundle so at the end of the day, all there is for someone like me is two expensive ships I feel like the price should go down for each of the items they already own yes, I still plan on getting this bundle but I want y'all to know others probably don't, I would be happy to offer recommendations, if a GM or dev were to ask for it even upping the sale to 45 or even 35% would be suitable

    Edit: Never mind, your post makes much more sense now that I've read this week's 10 Forward.

    The lack of a T6 coupon might be the most damning part of the fluff, if that is accurate information. The rest of the fluff just feels very random and not really related to a potential theme for the bundle itself. What does a vulcan outfit or discovery-era boff have to do with the Akira or Mogai?



    I was really worried and skeptical about the Akira leading up to its official reveal, but my hopes were fully exceeded. I'll finally be able to fly my baby again without feeling horribly gimped. The fact that they actually made it a proper (multi-mission)cruiser instead of an escort is icing on the cake for my inner-shipnerd too. (I also can't wait to brush off the old torpedo point defense console again - and try out the new torpedo with the shockwave modifier as a new gravity bomber setup.)

    Mogai/Valdore is something I'm largely ambivalent about. I know people love the ship, but I always enjoyed the Ar'kif more(and feel like this legendary is kinda stealing that spotlight/its identity). The fighters seem neat though(looking forward to a "Romulan" version of the scorpions), and I can't help but wonder how well they might synergize with a Valkis temporal carrier build.

    Given the T6 variant of the line in-game, the Alita, has a carrier related trait, I was hoping the tier 6 mastery of the legendary Akira would be carrier related too. Alas, it was not to be. I'm not sure I wanna go with this bundle tbh

    It is carrier-related though - and torpedo related(which was another important aspect of the Akira class - its torpedo carousel mission pod and multiple port and starboard torpedo tubes combined with standard fore and aft tubes totaled around 15 different launching points).

    "Torpedo Command and Control" enables your pets to apply a stacking kinetic resistance debuff when you use a Command power, and allows you to apply a similar(and separate?) stacking debuff when you use a Miracle Worker power.

    I guess I should clarify then - something somewhat more effective than a capped at 50 resistance debuff. As far as carrier buffing abilities go, it's pretty meh.

    Still wondering what the 'technically a lower decks ship' that was mention in a previous video. :o

    The Romulan Mogai with the dorsal stabilizer fin appeared in Lower Decks. It was a holonovel ship though, so probably not an 'actual' ship.

    I want to believe that the MW BOff and the Ambassador Uniform are placeholders for somethings more appropriate for the bundle.

    Tal'Shiar/Reman Resistance/Romulan Nemesis uniform, pls.

    Perhaps Cryptic could take this opportunity to give federation and KDF players access to a Reman BOFF with superior Infiltrator. That would make this a must buy pack.
