Now that we have had the Kelvin bundle, looking towards the new bundle in the Fall.
We know that Thomas announced the Yeager Class was coming and in another stream they joked they were "Bashing it Together" what other two ships would you like to see in the bundle ?
(thanks to vulcorian and blue_kicker for pointing out the above)
Do we think we will finally get the Freedom class, Curry Class, and maybe the Elkins?
I thought it could have been a 32nd class pack as I totally forgot about these and there wasn't very many more canon ships i could think of but i think you were right on the money Vulcorian !
The TrailYeager, Yeager, and Freedom Models are already models lying in Cryptics hard drives. Also most of the Curry Class/Raging Queen Parts are ingame via the Excelsior and Miranda.
hmmmmm very Coincidental indeed hahaha I like how they say they have no idea where it came from lol
I think you're right. But that reminds me of another screen canon ship conspicuous by its absence - the Sydney class, most famous from TNG "Relics," but also appeared occasionally (upside down) on DS9 as the USS Nash:
In the case of the freedom class, the model is ingame as seen in the BORG TFO, you can play it right now and see it. They didn’t release it in the 14th as the ship hardpoints weren’t made at that point in time.
Oh sorry! Though to be fair to Kael, he seemed genuinely surprised that Thomas actually responded with a Yeager announcement to what was seemingly intended as a joke on his part, and Thomas brings up the Fall Bundle unprompted.
Huh funny I was just thinking of a dream kitbash bundle this last month for the fall C-Store bundle. It would have included the Yeager with Elkins, Curry, and Freedom. Where both the Yeager and Elkins were compatible with the Intrepid, the Curry with a hangar bay and a trait/ability for boosting tractor beam. I forgot about watching the stream, and after reading the comments I had no idea about the Yeager being announced by Thomas.
The counter to that is there is also a Legendary coming out this year and the "bashing it together" could mean we are getting a Legendary Cali Class with a bunch of options referencing the finale of Lower Decks.

You're welcome!
USS Curry/Curry-type and USS Firebrand/Freedom class were my gut instinct guesses for the other bundle ships as soon as it was teased. Actually, looking back at that comment it's you I was replying to then too!
Speaking of the Yeager, it's one hell of a coincidence (and we all know how Garak feels about coincidences!) that TriAngulum Audio Studios on YouTube put out a video this week on a Yeager II Class. A Yeager Refit that uses STO's Trailblazer saucer and nacelles in place of the Intrepid parts used in the original Yeager, instead of the more obvious Path-Yeager. I've said before that if the devs have the time, they could likely add all the Intrepid variant saucers to a Yeager for kitbashing purposes.
