Well we know what the TOS Connie looks like at least.

I'm guessing the DSC Connie will be based off Eaves' final concept art.

So straight pylons, lighter hull colour and a dual pronged deflector.

Was kinda thinking that myself but maybe they'll pull a fast one on us and give us the Defiant model instead: https://i.imgur.com/veH1NNo.png

So now they're finally adding the TOS Connie to the C-Store (which they should've done from the start), but back then the argument is that CBS wouldn't allow them to have the TOS Connie flying around at endgame in STO. Guess that directive changed (or it probably never existed)

Some of these ships would be nice to own, but not gonna shell out hundreds of bucks on the entire pack. When the ships are made available individually, it might be more interesting.

The CBS directive is real. Putting the TOS Connie into a Promobox was a compromise for the 50th Anniversary of TOS, since people wouldn't have direct access to it, and would either need to grind hard for EC or gamble for it.

The Community Manager has said the bundle will only be available for a limited time, which means the direct accessibility of those ships will be gone when the pack leaves the store.

So rather than be able to make money off these packs all the time, they hope to snag the whales all at once during a limited time. Business as usual.

EDIT: Seems Kael deleted the tweet. Oh well. Good thing I have a screencap of it, just don't mind the red circle, was pointing out the FOMO deadline bit to a friend.

It's also listed on the C-Store page for the bundle.

Admiralty nerf of sorts: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11377303-admiralty-bonus-event%21

EDIT: While the above blog states that the KDF admiralty rewards 50k fleet dilithium vouchers, the patch notes states that it's 40k instead: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11378053-pc-patch-notes-for-2%2F27%2F20

EDIT: They went in and changed the amount on the original blog post to 40k.

No T6 Luxury Cruiser this year, getting a science vessel instead: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11382453-help-choose-the-summer-ship%2C-live%21

T1-T4 ships (minus the prototype light cruiser) will be a hell of a lot cheaper later this week: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11394603

EDIT: Disregard, they're more expensive now since they posted the wrong version of the blog.

"through a modest donation of Dilithium"

MODEST ? With a daily cap of 8000 (9000 if you're a Lifetimer), you're looking at 16-18 days of non-stop grinding of Dilithium for a Tier 4 ship (150000 Dilithium). Might be easy for a max level character to obtain, but the time gating of it makes the grind meaningless.

The old Dilithium ships should've been changed to a "modest" amount of Energy Credits, with the formerly Zen ships replacing the Dilithium ships cost. Add to that, this change should've gone up to Tier 5 (not 4). Tier 6 is Endgame, so it's not like they'd be handing out top tier ships at low cost.

First Picard ship to be added to STO: The La Serena. Unfortunately, it's just another R&D promo ship and they classed it as a heavy raider and justified it that way by making it around 30-40 meters longer according to Thomas Marrone.

Wow!

Only took them 10 years to finally get around to giving the KDF some actual content. I guess Romulans will be getting their revamp in 2030 then.
