For a price.Legacy of Romulus had a Starter Pack and Legacy Pack, Delta Rising had an Operations Pack and hot on the heels of the press release announcing a third Star Trek Online expansion pack Cryptic have announced a pair of DLC bundles to accompany the new expansion.

These are the Temporal Agent Starter Pack and the Temporal Special Agent Pack, the later of which includes all of the content from the Starter Pack and more.

Both packs contain content which will be available separately but are being sold for approximately half the price of buying all of the individual items separately although the total value of all individual items when purchased separately has so far only being provided in USD, so the percentage discount of any saving may vary by region and currency.

You can read the announcement made by Steve Ricossa, executive producer of Star Trek Online which details the release of these DLC packs HERE.

The Starter Pack contains several helpful and stylish items for creating your brand-new Temporal Agent in Star Trek Online: Agents of Yesterday.

The Starter Pack costs $19.99 or £14.99 with the contents when purchased separately totalling $40.50 (approximately £29.99). This represents a discount of 51% if you were to buy all of the items within the pack separately.

The pack contains:

Tier 1 Constitution Class
A legendary 23rd century Starfleet vessel, the Constitution-class Cruiser regularly went where no one had gone before. A durable, versatile ship, it handled a variety of missions, including exploration, first contact, research, and system defence.

Tier 6 Temporal Battlecruiser Paladin Class
Drawing inspiration from the 23rd century Ranger-class, the Paladin-class Battlecruiser is very tactically focused. It features a potent weapons platform, and a number of sophisticated maneuver systems make the Paladin a remarkably agile vessel for its class.

The classic The Original Series Uniforms worn and torn from battle. This costume unlocks for all TOS and Federation characters on an account.

Title: Temporal Agent
This title is exclusive to purchasers of the Temporal Agent Pack or Temporal Agent Starter Pack.
It unlocks for all TOS and Federation characters on an account.

At first glance it doesn't seem like a bad amount of content especially considering how pricey just a single ship can be on Star Trek Online but I would expect most people that really wanted one already have the Constitution Class which has been available to players for quite some time. The torn TOS uniforms also don't seem to add much value, the TOS uniforms are great but I can't see many players specifically wanting their crews to look like they've just woken up after a night of heavy drinking.

The life of a Temporal Agent will take you across time and space to strange frontiers and deadly battlegrounds.

T5 Temporal Battlecruiser Ranger Class
The agile Ranger-class was one of the most respected battlecruisers of the 23rd century. A tactical powerhouse, the Ranger was built for combat resolution. As a result, these vessels were often deployed on the front line in conflicts with the Klingons and Romulans.

T6 Temporal Science Vessel Nautilus Class
Inspired by the 23rd century Daedalus-class vessel, the Nautilus-class packs a tactical punch for a science vessel. Starfleet incorporated several new systems on the Nautilus, many of which involved nanotechnology developed in conjunction with the Borg Cooperative.

A futuristic take on the Perseus-class of the 23rd century, the Theseus-class escort utilizes an advanced science suite along with tactical systems. These powerful instruments augment the temporal weaponry found aboard the vessel, making its stout offense even stronger in battle.

T6 Temporal Cruiser Sagittarius Class
Influenced by the legendary Gemini-class, the Sagittarius-class cruiser is a force to be reckoned with. Designed with team tactics in mind, the cruiser is known for sharing its strengths with fleet-mates. The ship’s impressive combat systems make it a workhorse on the battlefield.

T6 Temporal Multi-Mission Science Vessel Eternal Class
While equipped with cutting-edge scientific technology, the Eternal-class was designed to fulfill a number of roles in the field. Built to operate alone on the frontier or as part of a fleet, the Eternal is a versatile part of 31st century Starfleet.

The pack also contains all of the contents of The Starter Pack (Tier 1 Constitution Class, Tier 6 Temporal Battlecruiser Paladin Class, TOS Torn Uniforms and the Title: Temporal Agent).

Whilst this bundle is certainly content rich, which makes sense given it's price point, you do have to wonder how many of the items you will end up using. You get an impressive number of ships but will you really use them all and a few of the costumes are already available and surely already owned by those that want them and the novelty value of the others may wear off quickly. That said that is an incredible list of ships and the pack does represent pretty fantastic value if you are likely to make use of them.
