I think the problem isnt the ship, at least for me. Its the fact that its just a copy of the T4 ship with a couple tweaks. Someone literally did a copy/paste on the visuals. Id say the word lazy fits. And yeah, many people will have the new skin...with so little choice Klings are lining up for some variety. And Cryptic knows that...so rather than give you a skin choice for free, like they give Feds, they opted to charge for it. You really think they didint know that the side lacking choice and variety would be eager to drop cash for some love? It was a classic Mad Men move.
Thats the real problem. Taking advantage of the situation is low class of them IMO. Now, had they given just 1 skin to customize for free there would be no problem. Had they done that they would have gone a long way to showing that they mean to treat the faction imbalance seriously. But nope...they did the same old thing...and players fell for it and are even saying "thanks" for being treated like second class PAYING players.
I agree that they have started to make things better and thats great. Id have no issues with this ship had they given equal choice to swap at least 1 skin like Feds have...then id be happy to buy a 3rd cool skin. But as it stands now--dont urinate on me and then expect me to pay for the shower.
