Hi everyone! So a couple of things with this video: (1) Do I think you should get the bundle? I'd only recommend it if you want one of the starships on multiple characters (trait/console/to fly it) or if you will want to fly both of these starships. As noted in the video, there are cheaper alternatives in the game from the fleet and/or 3k zen starships that can give you most of what these ships both offer in current STO. (2) I didn't go over the traits/consoles that come in the bundle, nor the intricacies of the "fluff" in the bundle. Due to this bundle releasing stats on the same day it was accessible to players, others in the community have already covered these at length on what is good/bad in the current meta. Considering the other things I wanted to cover in this video, I covered that instead. (3) I was using my old headset from a few years ago instead of my normal microphone (the same headset I used while leading teams to process data during the pandemic). As thus, I had to crank up the volume so it wasn't super quiet -- which meant there is more static in the audio of this video as a result. With how infrequent I do videos nowadays, it didn't feel worth it to me to bring my audio setup out of storage and set it up. (4) Alongside the above, for those of you that paid attention may notice that I was both tired & sick while recording this. I am doing ok, I just had a lot of other work & stress on my plate + trying to fit this video into my schedule -- and it barely made it into my Sunday schedule (due to normal stuff this past Saturday being cancelled giving me this slim opportunity). (5) Will I make more videos in the future? Maybe. At this point, if I did more videos, the next two videos would be: (A) Needed Legendary Starships -- a video going over the starships that need to get T6 & legendary versions + the starships & generally expect Cryptic to make over the next 48 months or so. If I did this, this would probably be a January video. (B) Solasta Subjective Guide v2 -- a video going over the upcoming "final" version of the Subjective Guide to Solasta in a pdf book format (akin to those D&D pdf books you can buy/read); that game had its final DLC earlier this year, but due to stuff IRL I haven't finished all I have wanted to with it just yet (there's also a size issue with my GoogleSlides that I need to resolve eventually as well...). Whenever I finally get that completed, I'll probably do a stream going over everything available to players.

Please continue making videos, even if it's infrequent, I enjoy the style of your videos, which is quite unique among STO KZfaqrs.

Holy hell! Welcome back! You and Augmented Dictator Games... almost the same time....

Never really understood the logic behind the epic tokens to only unlock an event ship for a single character. Currently epic tokens are extermely rare, so with the current drop rate, the epic token should replicate the event account wide unlock. If the drop rate for epic tokens where increased i could see this being a single character unlock.

Im annoyed that that reason they gave for L-Borta being a battlecruiser was "because the old Borta is one". We could have had a Juggernaut Borta.....or that they didn't know players were asking for a hangar slot on it because....the other two factions' flagships have one!

Wow, it's nice to see you back Counteryologaming, sir as I still use your videos with helping me to equip my ships/toons/ boffs

It's really nice to see a video from you, I don't even really play the game much right now, but I am watching this video. You always make such great, detailed videos. Thank you for this video, and all the rest of your videos!! Hopefully this means you might start making videos more often!!

First😊 . Great to have you back for a video on the Ledge Bortasqu'. Watched a good number of your video's over the years & really helped to get my head around different build aspect & ship types. Still point people towards your "Budget Builds: 2020 Edition" as a great one stop shop for newbies. Live, Long & Prosper 🖖😁

CounterYolo \o/ Good to see you hanging in there, I'm off an on quite a bit with STO, and you were always one of my go-to channels to see how game mechanics changed during my absences. I was concerned when you were on a video hiatus when I came back last time.

Glad to have you back. Great video and breakdown as usual. Hopefully we'll get more from you moving forward.

The man, the myth, the legend💪 I had no issues with your mic; 5-by-5. I really hope you do more videos in the near future, you're analysis have always on point and very helpful 👍

It was good to hear from you after all this time, reminds me of better days when we heard from you often. Good luck and visit us again soon.

Been a while, welcome back

Thx for the breakdown, on point as always, you haven't lost your edge doing content. I wish you all the best for the future, take care!

Great to see you back. You always had the best comparison videos.

I'm glad you're back making videos you're very informative especially about Star Trek online

I rather see creators make more meaningful and thoughtful videos. I really do appreciate you bringing this video out.

Despite what you said about the legendary odyssey. The ship performs quite well as a torpedo boat and/or tank even though it has only one specialization seat 21:09

You are an asset to the community. Your videos were instrumental to my learning of this game.

The Terran Eagle probably got a Cloak because the T5 Aquarius was able to use the Cloaking device console off the Defiant and Gal-X. The Adamant also got a Battle Cloak and they are probably just holding serve with the approach that the Terrans would take advantage of that tech.

We are glad to have you back, STO community miss you and all your comments about STO space ships & ground gear. Thank you again for your contribution to STO community.

Awesome possum. I always loved your comparisons and tierlists.

I'm glad to see you found something worth making a video about. I hope you can see how missed you were from the comments.

wow that was a long time welcome back

Thank you! I’ve really missed your videos ! Hope real life has been good for you !

Welcome back! Can't believe it's been two years!

Hey, you're back! Amazing! :)

Hopefully you are back for good!

Glad to have you back

Hi brother!!! Glad to see you!!!

The Legendary Bortasqu' has almost the same seating and console slots as the regular Inquiry-class. It's kind of like back when they used to release a Fed/KDF/Romulan version of C-Store ships.

I'm happy to hear you pronounce it "Bortosk" and "Bortaskew". Augie does the same, and so do I. :)

Look who's back!

You made great videos. It was a shame you stopped. But hey sometimes life gets in the way. Hopefully you enjoyed yourself and you want to do more.

Oh Man, again one great Video.

Hey welcome back!

Welcome back. Still no pop filter!

Welcome back 🙏

To be honest, the main reason I like the elite bridge officer token is I get to keep my original crew members from the tutorial, yes I know I could just get a “better” version and rename it, but that isn’t the same to me

I MISSED YOU

Yo... I need some more STO vids.

WB!

COME BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
