The Delta Rising Operations Pack, at the price of $124.99 or €119.99, offers eight ships, unique Bridge Officers and Duty Officers, a new set of uniforms, and lots of other goodies.
The fourth type of ship class and bridge officers that were hinted at has finally been revealed: Intelligence ships and officers. The pack includes three Very Rare Intelligence Bridge Officers which unlock for all characters on the purchasing account. Five Tier 6 Intelligence ships (3 Federation: an Escort, a Science Vessel, and a Cruiser; 1 Klingon: a Battlecruiser; and 1 Romulan: a Warbird) are also included in the Operations Pack. No details have been given as to the unique traits and abilities of Intelligence officers, but it has been revealed that the Intelligence ships are the only type with access to Commander-level Intelligence officer seating. Intelligence ships can also launch drones that scan ships for weaknesses and allow captains to exploit those weaknesses through special abilities. Each Intelligence ship has its own unique console, with their effects ranging from a Heavy Phaser Lance to a Sensor Probe Swarm.
Perhaps one of the most interesting developments out of the Operations Pack is the bundling of three Ship Upgrade Tokens into the Pack. These tokens allow certain Tier 5 ships to be upgraded to Tier 6 capabilities. It has already been confirmed that ships such as the Jem’Hadar Attack Ship will be upgraded to Tier 6 capabilities free of charge, but the introduction of these tokens means that other ships, such as the Odyssey and Bortasqu’, can also be brought up to par with the new Tier 6 starships. What stat changes this means is unknown, but it does negate the threat of Tier 5 ships becoming entirely obsolete.
Three non-Intelligence ships are included in the Operations Pack: the Federation’s Guardian Cruiser; the Klingon Empire’s MaHa Raptor; and the Romulan Republic’s Aelahl Light Warbird Battlecruiser. These ships were designed based on the discoveries made by the crew of USS Voyager on its journey home through the Delta Quadrant. The ships will feature Intelligence officer stations, unique consoles themed from the Delta Quadrant, and a special Tier 6 skin.
Also included in the pack are three Very Rare Duty Officers with unique active abilities, three titles (Voyager, Delta Quadrant Explorer, and Delta Quadrant Ambassador), and a set of Talaxian uniforms based on Neelix and other Talaxians’ choice of apparel in Voyager.

Personally, I have no interest in the pack, the ships for Feds are ugly, that's what I'll mainly play and not too bothered about the other bonuses, I will just be picking up a T6 ship on it's own.
Oh and I think the price may go up after the launch of the season, so anyone wanting it might want to get it at a lower price?
