The Countdown to Canon is complete. As of this morning at midnight, four Star Trek Online ships have appeared in Star Trek Picard, officially making them canon vessels. And we want to celebrate with you. Look for a special video tomorrow documenting the process of these ships appearing on the show, but right now, get a chance to save on all of these ships, and grab the Inquiry for Lobi for the first time! All of these sales last from March 3rd at 8am PT to March 10th at 10am PT.
Before we get into the nitty gritty of the individual sales, we want to take a moment to say thank you. This is a monumental moment for for the team of Star Trek Online. While we've had crossovers, brushes with canon, and even shoutouts before, this is the first time something explicitly made for our game has crossed over and officially become part of canon on a Star Trek TV show. It's an overwhelming and exciting feeling, and the reason we got here is because of you. STO's Captains have supported us for twelve years, helping us to tell stories of the Final Frontier in an era that, until very recently, had never been touched. Without you, none of this could have happened. Thank you so much.
First of all, the Inquiry Class is flying out of the Infinity Research and Development packs and into the Lobi Store for the first time! She'll be available for 1200 Lobi for the entirety of this special event. But that's not all - during this week-long celebration, we're also doing a 20% Lobi Store Sale! That means you can grab the Inquiry for 960 Lobi, along with saving on anything in the store your heart desires.
Then there are the three Zen Store ships that are being canonized, the Gagarin, the Reliant, and the Sutherland. These three ships will be on sale for 30% off! If you liked what you saw on screen, don't hesitate to fly it for yourself in the game!
Finally, there's the Ross. This beautiful ship is part of the 10th Anniversary 10 Ship Legendary Bundle, and that bundle is returning for purchase during this event! But not just returning, it'll be 35% off! Grab ten of the most iconic ships in Star Trek history, along with every console, trait and look from nearly every iteration of those ships, and special exclusive skins for each one, like the Ross. You can find this bundle in the Zen Store!
And that's not all! The 2399 Picard Uniform is returning to the Zen Store during this special event! And, save 75% on everything in Mudd's Market (excluding the bundles).
This is a momumentous moment in STO's history, and we're so grateful to all of you who have taken the journey with us over the past 12 years. Look for more about this crossover to come, including media interviews, and our own documentary. We'll see you in the stars, Captains, with four newly canonized ships to get us there.

I was wondering if I should get the Inquiry if it's available for Lobi... unfortunately I don't have the Lobi for it. Probably not worth trying to get it in time for this sale. Shame, it's basically the only lockbox ship I am even remotely interested in.

Just to put it into money terms, while it's nice to see a promo ship becoming a bit more widely available, even if it's only for a short time and the Inquiry is a nice ship (I used my previous event token to get it) - still think twice on it at the sale price as while it's obviously cheaper than gambling a promo box, 960 lobi is a minimum of 160 lock boxes and thus 16 key packs assuming you get 6 lobi per box, which you probably won't as it varies from 4 to 6. That translates into a key cost of 18,000 ZEN.
Keys currently sell for 12,400,000 taking the cheapest price. The EC value of that would be 1.984 billion - the Inquiry is currently available on the exchange for 723m at the cheapest price, which is a bargain considering it's a promo ship. That would be 60 (rounded off) keys at 6750 zen. So still more expensive than a regular T6 ship, but you'll have cut your outlay by roughly 62% if you really want the ship and you're starting out from scratch or have no lobi reserves.

Excellent reasoning and explanation, thank you for that!
I'll just have to consider now if I actually want or need the ship considering I barely play currently and even if I usually fly my Legendary Defiant. It's more of a "keep it for a rainy day" I guess...

Also worth noting that although not identical, the Lexington Class released a week ago is almost the same as the Inquiry and considerably cheaper to acquire.
The Lexington get a built in lance weapon, a hanger bay, and extra device slot compared to the Inquiry.

Oh well, I'll have to put it on my watch list then.
From the now canon ships I can recommend the Gagarin obviously and surprisingly also the Ross which is a great Torp platform for my playstyle.

I have to say, I didn't realise that they'd canonised some of the STO ships in Picard until I read this article and it's actually amazing they've done so and I can see the STO team are super pleased for that.
I wonder if we'll see more of STO be canonised in the near future although I do doubt it. It's also nice to see them putting a sale on as a celebration of that happening along with moving a promo ship to lobi, albiet temporarily. Maybe they'll find that people are willing to buy more, if they make it more accessible.

I said it before and I'll say it again: I'm a huge fan of the Odyssey (and thus the Enterprise-F) and I wish they would include it in Picard. It already appeared in the comics, just give it the screentime it deserves!

Good chance we might see more STO ships become Canon since Picard has a new Production Designer who reached out in regards to new ships. Nice they're rectifying the lack of ship diversity by using already established designs.

Of course Cryptic would capitalize on putting out a bundle discount due to this. Nice some of the select ships are canonized. I'm sure there might be some model updates to them in STO due to this if they haven't already undergone treatment before.
Since the Stargazer model is featured, maybe Cryptic will overhaul the "Heavy Cruiser" in STO; the same that the Constellation model uses also... There is no T6 equivalent as I have been using a Fleet T5-U for this reason...

Whether or not you like STO, Cryptic clearly has tried to deliver really high quality ship models in the game. For their ship artists to be contacted to drop in their work straight into a 4K tv program that is really one of the marquee shows for Paramount's whole streaming strategy has to be incredibly validating of their years of hard work. It also shows they heard the fan disappointment with the USS Copy/Paste fleet last year.
As far as the sale, yes it feels opportunistic, but at the same time they could have left stuff full price and relied on the buzz to rake in some cash at the full price, and/or immediately push the new Stargazer as the next Promo box ship instead. I personally already had the Gagarin and Reliant unlocked, and pulled the former out yesterday to run a few TFOs after watching the season 2 opener, but it is nice to know it wouldn't have cost me $30 to do the same if I didn't have some of them.
