No the Sovereign in the pack is different from the Intel and Command Sovereign currently on the C-Store but it will have the Trait and Consoles from both.

The fact that they're including the phasers does make it that bit more appealing as the advanced versions are some top tier kit, but here comes my cynical side, everyone shout doooooom:
The further fact they're saying it's limited time only is a bizarre choice as that essentially means all these new ships will disappear and that seems to be a waste of effort and resources in my eyes. While it is far more likely they'll eventually appear as single ships, I did get thinking of a worst case scenario - what if they're looking at this as a last hurrah and before the year is out they announce that STO is shutting down?
I know I'm only being paranoid and there's nothing to suggest they would do that, but the thought of it did cross my mind.

The one thing Im really hoping with this pack is that even though I like canon looking ships, I do like to have a kitbash now and then, so I really do hope that the shipt art team have "fine tuned" some of the other ships parts so they fit and align properly with each other.
Im mainly on about the Ross class variant thats coming with the Legendary Galaxy. Take the new Galaxy class model, if you use the Andromeda neck with the standard Galaxy class secondary hull you will see what I mean, and it looks a hideous mess.
I love the effort that gets put into these new models, but I think Cryptic forgets that the game was originally awesome for and known for its unique custom character ability's and these days, were getting less of it. If the Ross class is exclusive to this pack, then I hope that all parts have been tested when kitbashing with each other, and that goes for all the other ships too.
I made a quick little rough mock up of what it might look like. Dont laugh..I actually quite like it lol.

To be honest the game is dying since launch, and 10 years later it is still her, and the reason is because it is Star Trek so I think it has still a lot of live in it.

The game will continue until CBS gets fed up with it and decides it’s not worth it anymore or until PWE decides similar.
Being the only Trek game out there that has this current style and openness I can’t see anything replacing it unless someone decides to heavily find a new version.
Could do with a decent bit of updating to the look of the game though tbh, that’s something I think would be far more popular than more fancy ships.
No use selling new toys when the playground is falling apart.

If it's only around for a limited time why is there even a sale price? Sounds like some marketing trickery to me

Of course it is - it is a standard sales tactic. For some reason, people are much more likely to focus on the difference between prices rather than really evaluating the actual cost. For one product, have a high 'normal price' so that any discount feels like a deal to the consumers. If you have multiple products, always have one or two that are similar, but much higher priced, so the other products seem like a deal by comparison... It has been born out by countless psychological studies and experiments.

Here we are, a video showing off the new "unique" skins. Buying, not buying or undecided, the visuals do look good. Sovereign looks great and I have to say the Kelvin Connie is looking fantastic.

Well... you got to look at this from a business perspective... as long as the game is still profitable, it will still be going hot; and with these new series and disco also, there would be no end in sight at the moment... so, like I said from the business perspective - as long as the game keeps making money, the game will keep existing... plain and simple...
business 101 folks
...it's when it stops being profitable then things start shutting down, when funds stop coming in, then updates, staff, goodies disappear and the game withers away as a relic of the past...

I got the standard pack and I must admit, I am pleasantly surprised with some of the ships, in particular the Verity, very tanky and good seating to boot. The fact that the advanced phasers, tactical flyers and some lobi/lockbox consoles and traits are now account wide on my Fed's is a huge plus, Although it kinda makes it pointless for me to use my R&D T6 token to get the MW Donnie. Kind of a pain unlocking the mastery though, still haven't had a chance to test the new Defiant Trait.

Hit up the patrols from the TFO screen to get the mastery tier ground out. Even if you're flying solo they generate a lot of XP.
We did a couple last night and 1 single patrol with 5 of us on advanced got everyone straight to tier 4.

That's the way to do it , got 3 ships unlocked, just 7 more to go. Would have gotten 5 but setting up each ships equipment and ability tray took up time.
