MUDD'S TAKING A CRUISE!

Mudd has got a brand new Choice Pack and Mega Bundle, with five available Cruisers for you to command!
By Ambassador Kael August 18, 2023, 09:00 AM

Greetings, one and all! Welcome to my little corner of the galaxy, far away from the prying eyes of the Khitomer bzzt Alliance. Some of you are repeat customers, and I’m glad to see your faces, and so many new ones as well! You’re all like my family here, bzzt believe me. Today, I have something special for you. You’ve tooled around in giant warships before, of course. But what about something a bit more compact? Would you like to go, dare I say, cruising about the universe? Then perhaps you should take a look at my latest bundle of wares, friends. Right this way.



Mudd is opening the doors on a new Choice Pack on August 24th! Purchase the Mudd's Cruiserweight Choice Pack for 29500 Zen, and choose any three of the above options! But that's not all - this pack will be 50% off from 8/24 @ 8am PT – 9/7 @ 12pm PT. Choose from the following options:

• 23rd Century Ship Pack [T6]
  
  Temporal Light Cruiser [T6]
  D7 Temporal Battlecruiser [T6]
  T'liss Temporal Warbird [T6]
• Jem'Hadar Light Battlecruiser [T6]
• Walker-class Light Exploration Cruiser [T6]
• 50x Master Keys
• 16x Elite Bridge Officer Upgrade Tokens
• [300x Pack] Lobi Crystals
• 10x Ultimate Tech Upgrades

We're adding a special version of the pack! The Mudd's MEGA Cruiserweight Bundle is a one stop purchase to obtain all eight items in the pack at once! The pack contains all seven items, no choices needed. It will also launch on 8/24, for 60000 Zen, but will be 50% off until 9/7 at 12pm PT. Here's how it works:

The MEGA Cruiserweight Bundle will appear in Mudd's Market at the same time as the Cruiserweight Choice Pack. This is a once per account purchase. When purchased, it will disappear from the store. If you'd like, you can still purchase the Cruiserweight Pack for more of the non-ship items.

Purchasing the MEGA Cruiserweight Bundle will drop an item in your inventory, that you can unpack to receive the items.


If you wish to buy both the MEGA Cruiserweight Bundle and the Cruiserweight Choice Pack, you must purchase the bundle first. Any purchase of the Choice Pack will cause the Bundle to disappear from the store.

Never seen one of these packs before? Seen them all but still unsure how they work? Here's an FAQ just for you:

Each time I buy this pack, I get to choose any three items?

Yes! Even if you only purchase it once, the Mudd's Cruiserweight Choice Pack allows you to choose any three of the above ships, upgrades and more. You can choose multiples of the same item, as long as its not a ship.

Are the ships bound to the character that buys them?

Nope! The ships are account unlocks, like everything in the Zen Store. Once you purchase the bundle and choose any of the ships, you unlock that ship for all your characters, immediately, and all future characters.

Can I claim a second ship of the same type?

Also no. Because the ships are unlocked for your entire account, you only need to choose each ship once. Therefore, should you purchase a bundle and choose the Jem'Hadar Light Battlecruiser and two non-ship items, if you purchase a second bundle, you won’t be able to choose the Jem'Hadar Light Battlecruiser again.

But I can choose the non-ship items again?

You sure can. You can choose anything that's not a ship up to three times each, per purchase of the bundle.

Even within the same purchase?

That’s right. If you only want Upgrades, you can purchase this bundle once, choose the Upgrades three times, and get 30 Upgrades. It’s up to you!

Do I have to purchase more than one bundle to get all the items?

Yes, unless you buy the MEGA Bundle.

Do I have to purchase more than one bundle?

No! If you just want three of the ships, or any other combination, just purchase it once, claim the three items you want, and never think of it again.

Do I have to purchase this bundle?

That’s really up to you, friend.

Does flying in a Cruiser mean I have to fly at cruising speed?

….what

By the way, everything in Mudd's Market that isn't a Bundle is on sale for 75% off from August 24th at 8am PT to August 28th at 12pm PT! Grab more for your Zen!

Were this several years ago you might have had people frothing at the mouth to get this for the Connie, but the Promo Donnie is a better ship and the Legendary Connie has effectively replaced the Promo one.

There are more and better options these days for all those ships so it's hard not to see this one as a cash gouge aiming at the FOMO.

Almost hard to call it FOMO when there are better options to pursue. Going after the legendaries gets you extra consoles, skins, etc., typically, and the Connie comes in the 10th bundle which of course has 10 ships including multiple versions of the Connie. The Jem'Hadar Light Battlecruiser is maybe the only exception, but is it really that good to warrant Mudd's bundle pricing?

I'm losing no sleep by passing on this one.

I'm surprised Spencer rated this bundle an A-Tier. The 23rd century and jemmy ships aren't bad platforms, but with no really useful traits or consoles here, seems like he is putting a lot of weight into the seating layouts alone for the final bundle rating here. Not to discount the value of a solid ship to fly, but when you can pick up ships like the Hydra that is a really strong DEW platform for about 1/6 the price on a 20% off ship sale, you are paying a high premium just to slot an unusual (not necessarily better) mix of BOFF powers or a very specific flavor of space barbie. Maybe it is just me, but the return on investment doesn't feel like "A-Tier" to me compared to what you can get from other bundles around that price point.

[Bridger]

Yes you can pick up the Hydra but than it is no Connie and the Temporal Connie beat the Miracel Worker Connie out of the water.
