I voted [YES] with conditions. No one really paid attention to my post in the other thread so I will link here and repost.

I'm just going to get the standard pack; I don't need to spend an extra $100.00 USD on consumables that can only be claimed once. I explained this in my argument in the other thread. If you're trying to cut down on costs but still want the ships... just get the standard... no need to get side trash you can get later.

I read and paid attention to your posts, I agree with your position and I am only getting the standard pack. The premium bundle is bloated with consumables. If it was a guaranteed T6 ship I’d be all over it, but whats the point when I’m paying £100 more for a chance to get extra goodies.

If it were 900 Lobi, it might make that difference.

They are not gonna "give" away something like that away. lol... 100 lobi in the pack? Really? That is like two ground weapons at least or two pets... boooo the upgrades and keys are not worth it either, chances are probably low on positive outcomes on their use depending on the item. Like I said, *side trash*. lol...

I will be getting the Standard Bundle, but I'm really hoping that they have a Zen sale!

I understand everyone's frustration over how Cryptic is bringing these ships to market. I believe that the ships only coming in the bundles is a short term play. Those who can afford the bundles will shell out the cash while the bundles are available. There will be a period of time that the ships are no longer available, in order to give some exclusivity to those who purchased them. Then the ships will again be made available as either smaller packs, individually, or both. That way, Cryptic can make big money on those who can afford to pay big, then get a second big payday when those who didn't buy during the original offering buy up the ships that they want.

The high price bundles grant a halo period for those who pony up the cash on the first offering, but everyone will eventually be able to acquire the ships of their choice. It's probably a good marketing tactic, but it isn't the most fair to the player base as a whole. At any other time, I'd say that it was fine as a business decision, but when you're marketing this as a show of appreciation (a love letter) to the fans that have made your game successful for 10 years, it would have been a much better show of that appreciation to make all ships available in bundles and individually in the first go around.

The Standard Bundle on sale, and especially with a Zen sale too (if that happens), is worth it to me, as I don't have most of the ships in the bundle. If I already had most of the ships, I'd have a great deal of difficulty justifying this purchase.

I am mostly getting it because I almost never spent my lifetime stipend zen and have enough to buy the pack.

As soon as I get a Zen, it's already spent. If I got a stipend there's no way I'd be able to stack them up. That's willpower my friend. You deserve the pack.

I'm still scratching my head to see if I'm reading it right. Do we finally have a T6 Connie for Zen?

You get 3! TOS Connie, Kelvin Connie and Discovery Connie. Sadly though you have to buy all ten ships as a bundle which is 19,500 zen or $200

Yes, and yes because it is the most financially stable way of getting a Constitution class without lock-box keys or R&D packs. Is the price a little *too* steep, yes I think that it is. If I didn't just get my tax refund from the federal and state government I would not purchase it with the $300 price tag, because there is no way I could justify it without having extra income.

I also suspect that Cryptic is well aware of it being tax-season and are hoping a lot of people in the US have a similar story to mine.

[Xaila]

Probably because it seems like the only way I'll ever get an epic PPP token and I really need both the Timeline Stabilizer and Protomatter Field Projector for my MME. That and the PFP console comes with the Lukari Ho'kuun Science Vessel and if I put the Bajor Defense shield in it with the orange tint I could name it L.S.S. Space Dorito and that would be adorable.

Am I thrilled that only one ship gets a new TWOK-era ship costume when that's the aesthetics I like the best? No. Do I think there's a high amount of "S.F.H" in putting all three Connies into one pack? Absolutely.

Donnie confirmed to have adv. phasers account wide unlock only for feds though. No disruptor variants.

So yeah, they'll be mine.

Thats Gonna Make Klingon Players SALTYYYYYY,

Someone mentioned on reddit maybe they should do an adversaries pack, if this does well maybe they will.

Not sure if he means it will only unlock them for feds, it MIGHT unlock the disruptor counterparts, not entirely sure.
